"Good? Meh, I can say it's passable." Moloch said as he showed his memories to Jin and the Dungeon Supplier understood where he was coming from. Unlike Jin who somehow had a talent for making things and a sense of creativity, Qiu Yue merely cut and pasted whatever she was given.
Not saying that it was terrible.
·?θm Both Bin Yong and Luo Bo did a decent job in recreating a particularly famous festival during the summer time since it was roughly May/June in Jin's World. (Obviously, Jin already stopped counting after a while in the Synthesis World.) They had successfully placed dragon aesthetics all over the Airport in lieu of their Dragon Boat Festival. So, hanging above the airport ceiling were floating boats speeding through from one end to the other end while visual holograms of dragons accompanied them.
There were also certain times of the day when dragon boats were physically on the ground and people collectively could hop on them to ride to their designated gates. While there were no water or rivers per se on the ground, the boat had been simulated in such a way that the cultivators together will have to coordinate together and row in mid air.
There were air currents that surrounded the boat, causing it to friction against it and allowing the cultivators to feel as if they were in the water as they paddle. Their goal was to reach their destination in an allocated time (There was no fixed timing since different gates had various distances.)
Upon reaching the allocated time, they would be given zongzi (Sticky Rice Dumplings) to reward their efforts. But for the more competitive cultivators, a scoreboard was created for them to compete. Each week, the various timings would be posted out and Panda Coins were given as part of the rewards to the groups who somehow managed to get it.
And since there were various gates, the individual cultivator could earn Panda Coins up to a certain limit by joining the different types of gates. This was quite a popular event and people would always rush to get on the boat to earn those extra Panda Coins. However, a limit was set not because Qiu Yue was stingy as compared to Jin (Actually she is, she just does not want to admit it and the System loves her trait.) but because the current boss of the Dungeon Supplier Store indicated that certain cultivators would continue to hog the event boats, not allowing other cultivators to give it a try.
"Certainly, she could have programmed it such that there is a priority for cultivators who had not tried the boat event…" Jin said and Moloch could only shrug his shoulders, saying that it was not his problem.
"But to be honest, she overall did a decent job clearing up all the mess you made." Moloch chuckled as his smile was wider than ever. At that point, Jin felt like he wished he could lie down on a sofa and stare at the ceiling, feeling that whatever he did was pointless.
"Not true." The System read his thoughts. "Now that Sub System User Qiu Yue had taken the reins of the current situation, the System believed it was an excellent choice in hiring her. She may be 'Boss' material as her organisation and management skills were top notch but User had the hidden potential when it comes to creativity and making new bombastic themes."
"I would not deny that. When you return to the store, you should consider letting her manage everything else while you concentrate solely on making dungeon instances." Moloch proposed.
"So instead of being the boss, I am the employee now?" Jin replied bitterly knowing that was not what the two of his friends meant and before they could reply, Jin quickly interjected that he knew their intentions.
"I guess in a way, this whole fiasco allowed me to understand my strengths and weakness."
"Not to mention, you kinda got your wish too. We all heard what you said to the System before you got caught in this messy stuff." Moloch said as he sipped his coffee that had been provided by his Minotaur pals.
"Oh yeah, I heard that you guys are helping me to get my body back or something like that," Jin asked and Moloch nodded. Once again, another batch of Mechanoids came in and the Minotaurs came in to handle them.
"We are trying to do so by seeing if there were any residual links of your clone body to your real body. Krafty Boy had been keeping your clone in stasis while researching on certain things. But one thing was for sure. Your body had indeed been discarded in the Heavenly Plane, or Gods' Plane.... Blah, you get my point," Moloch took another sip to quench his thirst.
"Unlike the Hell's Plane where they kind of accept anyone or anything that comes in, mainly because of the way how Demons would take in people and eat them if they are not strong or useful, the Heavenly Plane are full of arrogant snobs who think that not everyone can enter their realm."
"So… I am guessing I am gonna be stuck here for some time?"
"The System stated that you do not have enough points and unless you could be ejected out within the next few weeks or so, we are predicting that you would only be back in a few years' time." Moloch deduced. "And that's the most positive projection."
"While it sounds long, it's normal for high grade cultivators to be absent for several years and everyone knows that you are one. It's merely just problematic for the business." The System interrupted hinting Jin to do something more drastic if he really wished to return.
"In any case, we must get your body back before we can do anything else. Without your true body, the only other way is to transfer your state of mind into the clone. And that itself is also risky business." Moloch commented.
"Oh god…" Jin now getting some information from the outside made him feel like all he had done so far was some selfish little escapade.
