To be in shock was an understatement.
The amount of hard work was excruciatingly high and to hear that Qiu Yue had gone ahead to remove everything he did to reorganise his monsters was heart wrenching even for the Dungeon Supplier.
"The System did save the instance as a backup but considering what the User had gone through in the Synthesis World, there is a possibility that the Sanctum of Worlds to be redundant. That was what the System and Qiu Yue had collectively agreed to."
"And you decided that it was better to just sideline me and do that even though you know that I had put in quite a lot of sweat and tears into it?" Jin now folded his arms and questioned the Tactical System.
"It's taking too much space in the System's storage 'disk' for something that is unproductive. Considering your sudden departure from the store and an unfinished product is terribly a waste of the System's resources."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"..." The System was not wrong when Jin heard the reasoning and calmed down a little. Even though the System is under his control, he was ultimately just a user. Perhaps, he could be deemed as the superuser but no matter how you sugarcoat it, he is still a user like the rest that he had employed. The System was no doubt capable but it was not omnipotent considering its history.
And since Jin had disappeared into the Synthesis World, profit and revenue were not at peak performance so all the more the System had to keep the company afloat by removing useless stuff.
"Considering the dungeon instances that had been made and will be created in the future based on your exploits in the Synthesis World, the profits should be seen as stable in the foreseeable future for the months that User continued to be trapped in the Synthesis World. Therefore, Sub System User Qiu Yue had proposed to remove such a huge instance to accommodate the incoming dungeon instances design."
"Does that include this particular dungeon instance that you had made as well?"
"The System will liaise with Sub System User Qiu Yue and put it up for her consideration. If she deemed the dungeon instance to be of little entertainment value, this design would be placed in storage. That is assuming either the User or Sub User decided no modifications were needed. Should there be changes made to increase its profitability, the System would welcome such developments."
"Blek. I will let Qiu Yue settle it then. Since she is so adamant in making changes." Jin pouted and it was obvious to Moloch that he was sour about it. Even if he wanted to scold Jin, it was not fair to do so either especially when he learn his efforts went down the drain (even though the System already reiterated that it was kept in storage)
"Master. I ask of you to hear the following as well as see the memory that I had." Moloch chimed in, hoping that Jin would feel a tad better once he saw what Qiu Yue did after removing the instance.
Jin sighed and reluctantly agreed, knowing that what was done was already done. And just as he was about to place his hand on Moloch's head, there was a loud bang at the end of the room, indicating another group of Mechanoids that rushed head in. And unlike the previous batch, this commander had decided to shock and awe was the perfect way to annihilate his enemies.
Moloch found it bothersome and told his Minotaur buddies to take care of it promptly. That last word was the enabler of how the Minotaurs decipher their boss' orders. Hence, they instantly broke out of the usual roleplaying characters and immediately bullrush the entire group.
Shock and Awe?
It was the Mechanoids who had been stunned by the sudden bull charge despite their usual storming tactics. This was because they had assumed the interior was filled with the standard Mechanoids, not towering humanoids with muscles to crush their heads with their bare hands.
And as the commotion was happening, Jin continued to do what he was doing and checked Moloch's memories. As the sensation of Moloch's experience flowed into Jin's mind, he could finally see what Qiu Yue had done for the minions.
As expected from a person who worked in the government's urban redevelopment authority. She had used her past expertise to create rows and rows of apartments. No fancy stuff but standard high rise designs in that particular instance. There were amenities between those apartments such as high intensity gyms, sparring areas, plots of farming land and other stuff that the majority had agreed on but overall, the place looked immaculate and clean.
Unlike Jin's crazy designs, Qiu Yue's maximum efficiency in her Sanctum of Worlds made it simple for the System to handle.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"She kinda plagiarised your idea of utilising the Deep One's instance where you copied the entire New York City and changed it a little to fit the dungeon design. She found out that despite the complexity of the dungeon design, it was actually one of the least used processes because of existing infrastructure blueprints that the System could pick up."
"Ehhh…?" But as Jin looked closely at the designs of the high rise apartments, they were definitely not something a Westerner would have made and then he realised…
"You guys hacked into the Ministry of Interior to get building blueprints?"
"Something like that." Moloch chuckled and Jin nodded his head.
"So it's something similar to what I have been doing for the dungeon instances in the Synthesis World as well since I do not have access to the full dungeon maker module," Jin said to himself but understood where Qiu Yue was coming from.
Her designs may have been copied, but since it takes little processing ability from the System, the System also allowed expansions of the current instance and took it in more minions without much of a problem. This also meant that it could free more souls that the System had been keeping in cold storage and assist other worlds with their help.
"So if I follow such a method for the Virtual Reality Instance, will you have better control of the place?" Jin asked the System and it replied with absolute positivity. And that nod of acknowledgement suddenly gave Jin some inspiration, making him itching to go back to his world as soon as possible so he could work on the idea.
(At the same time, he believed he might forget it too.)
