Chapter 375: Dungeon World

"See what I mean? All you have been doing is just going through the motions that the system gave you that you did not even bother with the shop's name. You were initially so excited with the shop building at the start but ever since the missions came in, you were just blindly following them without thinking much." Yun came into the Dungeon Maker instance dressed in her pyjamas while yawning and scratching her head.

"I see… It looks like I do need to take some initiative of my own to get the things done." Jin remembered that some of the customers had been asking for the shop's name and Jin had always been evading the question. Little did he know that he himself had only been avoiding it because there wasn't such a mission yet.

Same went for this coupon booklet that he had been postponing. He was giving himself excuses such as the need for training or customers coming first. There were even situations where he pinned the blame not on his own laziness, and instead onto his cultivation style, the Nineteen Lazy Astral Pandas. However, Jin realised that he needed to change something and be a proper boss, rather than just a boss by name. He realised he had to step up his game.

"I will pass the coupon booklet to Si Feng in the morning when he opens his café. The name of the shop though…give me some time to think about it." Jin spoke to Yun as he passed the coupon booklet to Yun for preview. She yawned once more before she flipped the pages of the coupon booklet.

"Hmm, interesting, this will indeed improve the exposure of the shop and it will also increase the sales of shops in the short run. However, if the shops do not know how to retain customers or provide anything worthy in the future. It will be nothing but just a temporary boost of sales." Yun gave her own opinion.

"That's primarily the objective of these coupon booklets, the short-term profits. So if they cannot help themselves, I cannot help them too." Jin replied.

"I am interested in this Kuji lottery. What exactly are you offering as a prize for your lottery?" Yun said.

"To be honest, I have no idea. I initially wanted to give exotic weapons to people, or perhaps vouchers like the one Xue Ping found in the dungeons, but I realised some rich people might just take the chance to buy every lottery ticket just to get the weapon voucher." Jin said.

"Oh can they even do that? I thought the coupon booklet would only be sent to every household around the district and subscribers to the online social media pages of Tiangong Shopping District." Yun asked as she instantly created a chair for herself in the Dungeon Maker instance and sat down to take a closer look at the coupon booklet.

"Yeah, and they could also buy more coupon booklets at a certain price at the administrative office of Tiangong Shopping District or even the participating store outlets," Jin replied.

"Hence, I was thinking of miscellaneous stuff like Panda charms or even Panda plushies to attract the females and perhaps figurines of our monsters for collection purposes. A customised figurine of Zither Mistress and the Great White Snake could actually attract collectors. Haha! " Jin suddenly thought of Ke Mi, the Zither Mistress and the Great White Snake in a stylish fighting pose. Ke Mi would be sitting on the head of the Great White Snake playing her Zither. That could actually be worthy for collection. Or perhaps, the three goblins with their weapons drawn while riding on top of Mr Oink, in his first form of course.

"That might actually work, why not visualise that and let the Dungeon Maker create them?" Yun commented.

"You mean I can do that with the Dungeon Maker? I thought I had to manually create the items by drawing or writing them out on the Dungeon Maker according to the instruction manual." Jin was surprised by this new piece of knowledge.

"How do you think I create this chair without even touching the Dungeon Maker interface?" Yun questioned.

"Because I thought you were a part of the system, that's why!" Jin tried to create a similar chair to Yun's in his mind and in an instant, the same exact chair appeared right in front of him.

"Haha!, I did not say its without consequences." Yun bluffed Jin when he did that and tapped on a digital screen. The screen fizzled for a while and it came online again with some statistics of resources.

Jin was befuddled by the various types of resources and it looked like one of those civilisation building games which he had played before. He saw Dungeon Dollars, Matter, Magic and Souls. Unfortunately, he could only be considered an amateur at those kinds of games compared to fighting or roleplaying games.

"Whenever you create something for your own dungeon, you used dungeon dollars, as I explained earlier. As you can see, the amount of dungeon dollars you have right now is only in the hundreds. And like I said previously, you can use Yuan that you earned and convert it into Dungeon Dollars. That was what the system has been doing with all the Yuan you have earned from your shop. It was converting all of the Yuan it earnt into the resources Matter, Magic and Souls. "

"With sufficient Matter and Magic, you can create almost anything that you want, and you are only limited by your imagination. The system will determine how much of each resource is needed to be utilised for your item," Yun explained.

"So all those dungeons and service instances? They were all created with Matter and Magic by the system. The Dungeon Dollars also allow the system to purchase those resources not just in this world, but on other worlds as well, with an inbuilt currency exchange. Why the system uses Dungeon Dollars is because it is currently the highest value of them all, similar to how the USD in this world works."

"This is definitely becoming something more complicated than I thought. I always thought the system was just almighty enough to create something out of nothing and it was limiting my creation because I was not yet worthy enough."

"Nonsense. You finally said that you wanted to control this system on your own so I am now giving you full reign of it. It might be hard or difficult to grasp at first but you should be able to get the hang of it quickly." Yun genuinely smiled at Jin.

Meanwhile, as Jin was looking through the statistics, he noticed the side of the screen had a small mini map so he decided to enlarge it. "Is this a mineral ore mine? Or is this some sort of underground facility?" Jin took a closer look at the graphics in the mini map.

"It is actually, in fact, a dungeon in a parallel world. We aptly called it the Dungeon World because everyone in that world loves to participate in dungeons. Hence, the system has already quietly created a permanent dungeon in that world for when you have decided to expand and create a dungeon supplier store over there as well. In fact, that world is somewhat similar to yours at the same time it is also slightly different from this world." Yun explained as she pulled up the facts of that particular world to the digital screen.

"How is it similar?" Jin asked as he was a little overwhelmed by the amount of data shown on the digital screen.

"In the Dungeon world, almost everyone is an adventurer. If I am not mistaken, they are something similar to the adventurers in your roleplaying games? That tabletop game, Dungeons and Dragoons? Ah yes, they will explore the dungeons to get essentials such as food, water and other various resources." Yun replied.

"Even though one person may be a fruit seller, he had to hunt and harvest for his fruits in a dungeon in order to sell because a particular dungeon will magically grow fruits in it. Hence, there are dungeons so large and bountiful that people even create a town or a megapolis surrounding the dungeons because the monsters never ever leave the dungeons no matter what."

"The similar thing about this Dungeon world with your RPG games is that whenever an adventurer dies, they will resurrect again. The same goes for the monsters living in the dungeons. Both the adventurers and monsters require a set time to resurrect once again. Even the resurrection process is so much simpler than your world's procedures."

"Hence it is forever an infinite loop of monsters killing adventurers and adventurers killing monsters. That is why in that world, so many adventurers and monsters are born that the adventurers live in high skyscrapers created by magic due to overpopulation. Meanwhile, more monsters mean deeper underground dungeons. And surprisingly, that dungeon world's landmass somehow grew too. Now you will probably understand why Dungeon Dollars is considered the most valued in the currency exchange market."

"So I guess that's the difference about that dungeon world compared to our world? I mean, when we kill the monsters here, they are dead on the ground and don't revive."

"That's the difference we are going to make for that dungeon. The dungeons that are created by that system to increase Matter, Magic and Soul? It permanently kills the adventurer." Yun grinned widely.
