Chapter 1168 – Official Employees -unedited
“Holy damn…” Rong said to himself as he climbed further up and hung on to the antenna of the Principal’s Office Tower to have a better view of the JODE Academy which Jin had created. Even if he did not see the interior of the buildings, the campus itself was already something not to be scoffed at.
“Jin, you did this all by yourself?” Su Zhen asked and the Dungeon Supplier nodded his head.
“Well? Surprised? This is the might of the Boss of the Dungeons and Pandas.” Jin said and the rest continued to quietly view the scenery. “The buildings might be up but I needed more information on how each room and hall can be customised. From what I remembered, you guys have a variety of subjects that you guys need to learn.”
“Yes, Traps, Team Formations, Demon Speciality, Chi Magic Formulae” Su Zhen was reciting the subjects that needed to be covered, Lian and Lien took the opportunity to jump away from the tower and started to explore the space. Even Rong followed them and Su Zhen quickly stopped her mumbling to join them.
Even though the corridors and rooms were empty, the Demon Exorcists were excited by the possibilities that could happen in this Dimensional Instance. Demon Exorcists had always been secluded from one and the other because of the lack of facilities. They did not make many friends and most of their comrades were mostly political acquaintances. Even under the training of Grandma Yuan, it was mostly done in a restricted area to ensure that there were no commotions.
With this academy, more Demon Exorcists could finally be inundated into the programme and the dimensional instance might potentially bring a sense of belonging for the group. Not only that, if there were enough space, this particular JODE Academy might even be used for course conversion programmes, allowing junior ranked Demon Exorcists to reach higher heights.
When the squad had finally surveyed the area, they were all rushing to Jin to give their ideas on how the JODE Academy should be implemented. Jin quietly smiled at their idealistic expressions, knowing how they wish to bring change to the place.
“Of course, of course. I will take into consideration all of your opinions but I still have to consult your seniors and most importantly the head council that runs JODE. Without their approval, I cannot even start this place properly.”
“Ah! Is that why Claire asked my mom to come?” Su Zhen remarked and the rest turned to her with a curious look. “Erm, Instructor Claire had invited my mom and Grandma Yuan for a Hot Pot stew, dinner at Lynn’s Restaurant.”
“Oh…is that why you guys decided to pop by here?” Jin queried and the rest of them pointed at Su Zhen.
“Heheh. In a way, yes. Since my mom was coming, she decided to take this opportunity to officially congratulate me for getting into the official ranks of the Demon Exorcists. I figured that I take this chance to splurge my mom’s money to treat the rest.” Su Zhen blushed as she blurted out the truth.
“Oh gee. Here I thought, you guys are here for the Academy.” Jin sighed, thinking that either the System or Claire had other motives to get Jin to talk to the kids. “But since you guys are here, I guess I owe you all an explanation too.” He then told the rest to get back to the principal’s office where he took the opportunity to sit behind the large desk.
The rest had no clue what this impromptu gathering was about and they were telepathetically exchanging information to see if they could guess what Jin was going to tell them.
———-
“…You what?” Rong was still in disbelief upon hearing Jin’s explanation of the System and revealing the entity to them.
“So…does that mean, we could have won against you if you had not cheated?” Lian crossed her arms and pouted.
“Have you forgotten what he said? The System only manages his shop and the rest of the stuff that deals with money. When it comes to cultivation, all that effort belongs to him. We lost to him fair and square.” Lein, the Qilin Cultivator, replied to comfort Lian but he was still uneasy knowing the truth.
The fact that the four of them had already signed their lives to this System of Jin without knowing the entire situation. Now he understood why there were times he felt that there was some hidden force monitoring him and to a certain extent, prompted him to go for certain decisions.
“So? What’s your endgame? Why tell us now?” Su Zhen asked, now a little distrustful of Jin, creating the opposite effect which Jin initially wanted.
“I heard from Claire that you guys are not the usual Demon Exorcists because of your cultivation. I did not ask her much information on it but it looks like most of the other Demon Exorcists would prefer not to work with you guys.” Jin explained. “And if I am not wrong, that is also one of the reasons why all of you are advised to stand down for the time being even though you guys did not explicitly show it.”
“So?” Su Zhen answered with a question.
“Simple. Join me for fights. In fact, you guys can go for recon missions for me which the System would provide more information about. And trust me, this is not the usual stuff that you are doing. There will be fighting involved if you all are not careful…or well even if you are careful enough.” Jin raised his eyebrows and changed his phrases a little to tell nothing but the truth. “And in return, you will be paid well for each successful mission and once we feel that you are up for it, we will give you harder stuff so that you all will continue to hone your skills.”
“So, either stay on standby forever or do what the official employees of Dungeons and Pandas should be doing while earning some experience and cash. What do you all say?”
There was a moment of silence before Rong stood up and portrayed his aura.
“I do not care what lies you said before but I know that you are telling the truth and instead of doing nothing, I am fuċkɨnġ in.”
