Chapter 1980: Finally, The Supposed Discussion! -Part 8
Within the next few hours and some crazy coordination, everyone was able to be out of the dimensional instance and the severely injured had their conditions stabilised in the various hospitals.
Pei undoubtedly nearly went insane trying to coordinate since she not only had to pretend she did not know that the System hacked into the various hospital databases to get the best information it could to liaise with her, but she also had to be forceful in the recommendation.
"It seems that humans of different eras did not change the way how things are done. They always prefer to rely on someone to 'lead' them out of the crisis and later complain for being led." Pei said and Jin could not comfort her with a bar of chocolate to perk her up. Just as how he would have done so with Peppers and Milk.
Pei did not say anything else and appreciated the quick snack. On the other hand, Jin could finally remove the dimensional instance and it revealed the desolate state of the previous situation. Cars crashed, and unfortunately, houses were broken into due to some looting.
There were also fires previously that had burned a few of the apartments and because of the dimensional instance, the fire was able to stop spreading.
That also meant those who were unconscious had died in the fire which Jin and the other Panda NPCs had already bagged them and given them to the authorities to handle during the transfer. There were so many things to fix and people had to get back to their lives as soon as possible.
It felt like a momentous task that Jin was fully capable of aiding but this was not his country nor was he paid for going to extra mile.
In fact, he had already gone the extra mile by giving aid to the people within the dimensional instance and that was more than the objectives that had been laid down by Diego and some other ministers. Sure, he could have done more, but he did not need to considering he already reduced his profit just so that the dungeon supplier had done the 'right' thing for the people.
Thus, all the foxes and he obediently returned to the safe house to wait for their processing. To their surprise, there was another agent that was there waiting for them and they believed it was the subordinate or colleague of the female agent but they did not know her name.
The new agent was surprised that Jin and the others returned and immediately reported the situation to his superiors. There was quite a bit of back and forth but nothing too serious based on the conversation the foxes had eavesdropped on.
All Jin did was take out some euros from his storage watch (since when did he even have such paper money prepared?!) and pass it to the agent who was still on the phone.
"Sir, get us some food, alright? All of us are hungry and have not eaten for a whole day."
The agent felt a little offended that he had to do this kind of service but in the end, he gave up upon learning that they were the source of ruckus that had been happening.
"So, are we still going to continue the discussion that we had left off?"
"Ehhhh. Do we really have to?" Kiyu was reluctant to continue the conversation and so were the others. It did not take a genius to recognise Jin had overworked them to the core, even more so than their usual work hours. "Aren't you tired as well?"
"Yes, I am. But we need to clear the discussion too, right?" Jin said as he was telling the others that he had to make sure his responsibilities as the overlord were met.
"Let me discuss with you alone if the others do not wish to proceed," Rex said as he stood up and beckoned the dungeon supplier to the corner of the room but Evon immediately swooped in and took the corner to himself.
"Go away. I enjoyed this corner and I still have things to clear." Evon replied, giving them no repose to talk back. He instantly put up a barrier that was not just anti acoustic but also anti anybody else. The two leaders merely shrugged their shoulders and went to the other end of the corner where they set up a small barrier and started to do their talking.
"Where shall we start? Or should we continue with what we had discussed previously? I guessed we have given enough time apart to digest the things that we had talked about." Jin asked.
"For the health part, I will follow up with Pei to get things done. I believe keeping a portion of their gold and using it to pay for their health expenses can be a good investment. This and the fact that we have the System, there is nothing to worry about losing those money and we would sure earn some investment profit that would enable us to expand even more in the future."
"I do not think we will earn that much from keeping people's money. But that also means that they have to be registered as a citizen. Or else, we are unable to keep track of them."
"That I agree. We need to look into getting citizenship done properly but that should be done once we connect all of them together." Rex replied.
"I assume the connection of land would take some time? I have no idea how that works at all."
"The System had assured us that it is a rather seamless process. The fact that Demopolis did not become such a size was mainly due to the fact that they kept raiding small towns and cities to get to the land. Once they acquired the land, the Dungeon World would shift a little to accommodate the land around Demopolis."
"You make it sound like the Dungeon World was some sort of Lego set, always available to change when needed."
"Yes User. As odd as it sounds, yes, it is that way." The System chimed in and Jin acknowledged that fact immediately.
"Okay, then we shall to the unification first and later put them together. I assume you are liaising with Qiu Yue to make sure that we are able to get those cities upgraded too?"
"Yes. Because of our densely populated Pandapolis, it was able to accommodate the Citizens of Demopolis as well as one of the Seven Cities. That way, we can revamp the entire city and put in the groundwork to ensure that they will serve the needs of our modern cities. And that included transportation."
"You just make sure Ixa and Ixel got it right with the moving of population and subsequently the installation of the transportation," Jin said and Rex gave him a thumbs up. At the same time when they were talking about this, it reminded Jin that the supposed New Adventurer's Town was in a mess as well after what the High Elves did.
Of course, Kraft and the Night Foxes had fun with their revenge but it was not sufficient for the Night Foxes to end it that way. They got to use the Sun Foxes to win to infiltrate back into the High Elf Kingdom and wreak much havoc.
It was to the point that the Sun Foxes had to numb themselves for the upcoming betrayal that they got to do…or that was what they thought until Jin heard reports that Kraft was doing massive brain washing to ensure that the Sun Foxes do not even feel a single strain of remorse doing such horrible things.
But at this point, Jin felt that a lot of the worlds that were under his influence were rebuilding to the point where he nearly felt pity for Qiu Yue. He wondered if he did not have Qiu Yue, what would he have done. Sure, he did some rebuilding before using the dungeon instance builder as a guide but it was not as intricate as Qiu Yue.
While he was building fantasy items in dimensional instances, Qiu Yue was doing the real deal. It was to the point where Qiu Yue could have a story arc by herself.
"Other than that, let's talk about the Church of the Afterlife as well as our military preparedness," Rex said and Jin was interested in this way more than the infrastructure portion.
"I am at all ears."
"We should listen to the Foxes and redo our religion or resurrection business proper if we want to fight against the Church. It seems like they had been arming themselves to the point where we need to consider that they might prepare for a fight against us. This is especially after the repeated raids against the money tower."
"I thought Kraft was able to get quite a lot of money from it?"
"He did, for the size of attack force that he had brought, they were racking in dungeon dollars that can feed an entire Demopolis army every single time Kraft raided. That was why the Churchies were not happy. And from the looks of it, it seems like it might be a century long crusade against us."
