BXBX NOVEL Chapter 958 Dish Washing
Chapter 958 Dish Washing
"System had asked Chef Lynn to have a quick spar with Royal Zodiac Tiger Cultivator Yang Ling in order to showcase her new Gearbox suit. With the terrace house being under System\'s control, it was a good opportunity to analyse the improved Gearbox suit." The System replied and opened up a screen console with a playback of the fight. "It certainly lived up to the expectation of her being a potential associate to increase our engineering capabilities. Even Rei had some difficulty improving the Gearbox Technology when System represented it to him."
"It looks slicker than the prototype that we gave her. Did she manage to improve it even further than what you expected?" Jin questioned as he observed the two only engaging in hand to hand combat. Still, that was quite the improvement for her physical state considering the Tiger Princess had been unable to walk previously. (Well, she did manage to have a stroll with Jin in his theme park, but he thought that the recovery was a little way too fast. The System could only assume she did high intensive therapies for recovery.)
"I assume she must have come to talk with me about further finetuning it, so she can sell and armed their military dudes to improve their chances in combat. After the fight against the Banned Emperor Faction, I bet you can make good money with such an innovative upgrade." Jin surmised as the back of his mind, he wondered how the State Agents could benefit from this proposal.
"Even if all Royal Zodiac Battalions would be outfitted with a Gearbox suit, they would still not be able to match cultivators with peak cultivation grades. All the major civilised countries have their very own special squad of Grade 18s and 19s as a deterrent factor and negotiation chip when it comes to offensive powers." The System stated, indicating that the high grades had a major jump in offensive powers such as how a Grade 10 was vastly different from a Grade 9. Jin, on the other hand, did not feel much of a difference, saying that his opponents were always tough. (The System did poke him to make him realise that the bosses he fought were already a few grades higher than him which was normally impossible for standard cultivators to go against.)
"But one man could only be able to do so much against a whole army. Even Peppers…though now that I mention it if given enough time she could likely just blast an entire small country away and survive the tale." Jin added, recalling how Peppers literally attempted to blast the entire region with her powers in the Giant World. Even if it was broken into several simultaneous blasts, the area she had covered was undoubtedly impressive, and there was no need to second guess the destructiveness. As long as Ayse continued to help Peppers in her journey to find the best explosion, obliterating a country of increasing size was merely just a stepping stone.
"Even if it might not help them per se, if those peak cultivators were complemented with their highly strengthened colleagues, it will help in their cause too,"Jin argued. "Though I\'d love to see them fight an army of Gunndams from the Mecha World. Speaking of which, remind me to ask Rei about the spaceship salvaging progress."
While watching the close combat spar between Lynn and Yang Ling, Jin helped himself to the leftover food on the table. After which, he helped clean the area and washed the dishes even though they had an automated system dishwasher.
Lynn treated cleaning as a sort of \'spiritual\' training, and she had infected everyone else in the house with her mindset. No matter how busy they were, they had to at least wash the dishes at home. (It\'s not the same in the restaurant as she compromised, knowing the workload her penguins had to go through.)
After one incident when Qiu Yue had just placed her dirty dishes in the dishwasher due to sheer laziness and Lynn had about it, she literally threw the plates onto the Red Panda\'s bed. Of course, the fight that ensued would have been worthy to be featured on the front page of Pandaflix.
Ever since Lynn continued to insist that the entire family washed their plates. It was a reminder that they were blessed to have the System and should not take everything for granted.
Meanwhile, Pei believed that it was a \'give and take\' kind of situation. The Chef had painstakingly prepared the food and cooked it. Since Lynn was the only person capable of producing such magnificent food on the table every night without fail, the rest, even Kraft had succumbed to the Chef\'s wimps and washed the dishes.
She did not care whether they used chi or some technique to wash it, the most important thing was they cleaned it themselves. Only to make things \'worse\', the System had introduced a cleanliness meter to detect how good a job they did. It activated as soon as they hung it on the dish rack. It was hilarious and frustrating to watch Zeru who seemed to be perfect in everything being unable to get a perfect 10/10 mark from the System.
Jin recalled these small little details as he cleaned and appreciated the new life the System had granted him. Without the System, he would have never become a Dungeon Supplier and instead would have pursued a different career. Could have just taken some administrative job in a bank dealing with software analysis and work overtime just to have a better meal at times. What\'s more, he could be stuck all lonely in this large terrace house all by himself.
"Or maybe, I could have just rented out the terrace house out and gotten myself a small apartment to stay in. That way I would earn extra cash while also working a 9-5 job…" Jin thought to himself as he was waiting for the System dish rack cleanliness rating to appear.
"Why does User once again waste his time with these thoughts?" The System queried and yet again reminding Jin how the System could be intrusive to his thoughts.
"I am glad that I have you, but I just wanted to have a Plan B if you should ever disappear?"
"Is User trying to come up with ways to get rid of the System? If User wishes, the System could instantly detach itself from User, and everything would cease." The System said.
"EHhhhhhh." Jin was left speechless for a moment at the System\'s \'threat\'. What\'s worse was that System was unresponsive for a moment… but the very next there was a loud \'ting\' sound from the dish rack stating that the dishes were sufficiently clean. (6/10 on the scale, acceptable.)
"System has been joking. User shall continue in his position since he is the best host." The System replied, and Jin shook his head. "No matter what User does, he is stuck with the System until the end."
"Then I might as well marry you, and you can have my babies instead." Jin noted sarcastically.
"Technically speaking, the System can attempt to create given that there are sufficient DNA samples and soul resources." The reply from the System worried Jin.
"However, the System still requires additional data such as attitude, behaviours and habits to complete a fully functional clone. Based on its centuries of interaction System has concluded that a clone without flaws is impossible as of now. Please recruit even more minions or associates to aid in the clone\'s creation." The System said, and Jin quickly sighed.
"Come on, I was clearly joking." Jin sighed and pleaded with the System to not even try to entertain that idea. At that point, he could hear someone unlocking the main door and saw that Lynn and Yun were returning with laughter in the air.
