Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 1036 - Utilising the Tiger Factories

"Woah, seems that Kraft certainly did not hold back with the brain washing." Jin thought to himself and asked all of them to sit down.

Their main agenda was talking about the products they were refining and in-depth analysis on moving forward. They could move on as per usual but with the workers coming back from their holidays soon, this would be the best time to change any production lines if deemed necessary. Of course, they still had contracts both incoming and current ones to fulfil, but there was still some space for adjustment if Jin wished to make a few changes.

As a nice little bonus, Jin found out that the Royal Zodiac Tiger Lord Hu still believed that the people were loyal to him. However, Kraft had brainwashed all of them in such a way that the threat they posed would now be to the Royal Tigers themselves. They had been undercover for the sake of the Panda Clan and now that Jin had repossessed the factories, their cover was needed and thus Kraft had released them from their current farce.

Unmistakably, a very far fetched story but the brainwashed staff were all very tuned into that particular plotline and would continue to work undercover while siphoning funds from the Royal Tiger if possible. Even if the Royal Tigers did suspect something, they had full confidence that Jin would save them from their current predicament.

Hearing that, Jin wondered if it was truly needed to play both sides since this was already his factory, his land. If he wanted to, he could even cancel all the contracts, which might be seen as a bad move, but the fault would lie with the Tigers. Jin was free to rebuild the whole factory from scratch, but he agree with the System there was some benefit in keeping the refinery factories.

The System’s previous pet project had allowed it to grow some oil plants and it had been acc.u.mulating oil for sale in the black market. With the demand for electrical products in Pandapolis as well as the upcoming mass relocation of the Demopolis Citizens, the System would require more petroleum for the production of electricity if it wishes to save on magic crystals and mana. (It did once consider putting Peppers on the grid and use her to power up the city in emergencies but that had been violently rejected by the Mage Bellator herself.)

The System was also able to use oil and directly convert it into electricity but with the increasing strain on the System’s resources, it was best for Jin to utilise what he had until more resources were available for the System to crunch out.

Also if things go well, the System might be able to sell petroleum to other ’cities’ Jin now owned, gaining more profit than in the future but for the moment, it knew that it had to keep some stock for the Virtual Reality Network.

So with that, Jin told them about the plans and the possibility of overtime. Naturally, he was able to pay them according to the System after Claire tidied their records. The millions of dungeon dollars from the quick investment could be used too but he would rather have the senior executive staff handle it since they were all loyal to him right now.

As for the executive staff, they were delighted by the extra work since that meant additional money in their pockets at the end of the financial year. So, knowing that Jin was able to get an oil supplier even though it was a small timer, it is still good money.

Thus, they would agree to take a look at the current workload and make changes if necessary. Other than that, most of the meetings were about the transfer of ownership, especially the money portion. When everything was done, the executive senior staff once again bow before exiting, leaving Jin in the empty room alone.

"Tired?" Lynn’s voice echoed behind him as she brought an ice cream parfait for him to savour. "I thought you would need some sugar to get your mood up."

"Hahah, thanks Lynn. This is much appreciated. How’s the Disaster Rescue Camp been faring? I erm mean the food part." Jin thanked her and already started to dig in. Each scoop was sweet, creamy, and a bit crunchy as well. He realised there were corn flakes in it, with a bit of mochi mixed into the parfait.

"I don’t remember seeing this in the menu," Jin said and Lynn chuckled.

"You read my menu?"

"It’s not that complicated and a welcome change compared to all those thick files. That is also why people liked it. Although I know the weekend menu is slightly longer."

"It’s easier for my penguins to keep track of the orders while ensuring the quality of the food. As for the special food store you let my dad owe, that is entirely another issue."

"Oh yea, how’s your dad faring? I believe the System should have helped you and him set it up?" Jin said as she took a seat at the side.

"It’s going quite well. Most of the customers were actually surprised to see a new store come up. I thought the revamped store instance was still relatively fresh in their minds and they wouldn’t notice, but the subforum had been raving with theories of what it could have."

"I did not really create that much at the start since I was helping with the food supplies in the Southern Region. However, my dad knows how to play the customers’ feelings and it’s by lottery."

"Lottery?!" Jin questioned with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Yea. It’s similar to the lottery instance. A customer buys a ticket and if they score the big prize, they will be able to get the food as part of the prize."

"Oh, is it because it’s in little quantity? Then what about the other prizes? Since it’s a lottery." Jin asked, rather curious about it.

"Food voucher equivalent to the prize of the lottery ticket. At higher tiers, the voucher is doubled. And yes, my father has been rationing the amount in case I did not have the time to do it."

"Sounds like an overall decent idea. Is he having fun?" Jin questioned as he tried to scoop the remaining portions of it.

"Oh he is, and he had been contemplating whether he could use some of the current shop stocks as part of the lottery to keep it exciting. Although he has yet to come up with a name for the shop."

"Can’t he just call it Lynn’s Delight or something? Or perhaps Penguin Gacha and if he can afford some money, the System could make premium looking Gacha tickets. Ah, he could use some of the leftover promo items as part of the lottery too. I can get the System to pass it to you? That way you can have a bit more bonding time with him." Jin started to think maybe he could add more variety to that Gacha portion in the future when the store stabilised. (Of course, at a price since they were renting it from him.)

It was sadly ironic how Jin thought about granting Lynn some bonding time with her father when she would have much rather prefered some with him...
