Chapter 533: JODE Meeting

The chancellor allowed the newly officiated Demon Exorcists to stay and listen to the meeting. It was no secret that Grandma Yuan had previously assigned them to remain under Jin’s care for the foreseeable future.

The panda cultivator stepped to the front, powering up his presentation slides with the aid of his System and passed down documents that were related to the building of the new Main Branch of Shenzhen. He waited two minutes, allowing them to take a quick look into the document before starting.

“I do not know what kind of requirements you are looking at, but I can at least ensure the basic necessities for a group of Demon Exorcist to be stationed. If you turn to Page…” Jin went on to showcase that his Dungeon Supplier already offered Food, Weapons, Armour, Inscriptions, not to mention various sorts of entertainment to relax as well.

“All I need is a description of what you ladies and gentlemen wish to see in a branch location,” Jin said, and the other leaders were whispering to themselves. One of them raised their hands and asked if the weapons and armour that he sold were limited to Grade 5.

“No, in fact, I am planning to release more powerful equipment in the future. I work together with a contracted dedicated blacksmith that has no problem creating them upwards to Grade 15. However, he demands materials and payment upfront.”

“With my current resources, I have been able to supply him the materials for Grade 5 and below with ease. Especially when the average grade of my customer base is around Grade 2 to 3, I have yet to the need to upgrade even higher.”

“However, that does not mean the higher grade cultivators do not any choices. While limited, I do have a few…you can say higher tier weapons available for them to choose from a VIP room in the Weapons instance.” Jin answered, and the others continued to whisper amongst themselves.

“I have heard that your dungeon experience is quite unique and very lifelike. You’ve been praised by my kid to high heaven. I can’t help but wonder, if we were to provide you with the comprehensive data of various Demons, do you think you would manage to recreate those demons too?” A middle aged woman with the beauty to charm almost every father in the room posed this question to the dungeon supplier.

“Your kid?” Jin accidentally blurted out and immediately apologised.

“Ah, where are my manners? I’m Su Zhen’s mother, Lee Na from the Royal Zodiac Snake Clan. I’ve also heard wonderful things from another clan mate of ours. For you to gain his positive favour, I have no trouble believing that you tried your utmost to please one of the greatest Snake Generals in the military.” Lee Na shared, and the rest began to discuss among each other again.

“Hou Fei gave positive reviews about this place?” A JODE senior member asked, and Lee Na nodded even going one step beyond by revealing that Hou Fei had agreed to arrange a training exercise for his troops in this dungeon supplier in the near future.

At this point, the Tiger Lord added that it would be in fact a joint exercise, which included police members as well. While it still in the discussion phase, Yuan Ba had personally pledged his support for the police to join the training exercise. It made the few sceptical JODE senior members start regarding Jin in a brand new light especially with the Royal Zodiac Tiger’s Head assurance and testimonial.

“Just how much influence does Hou Fei hold exactly…” Jin thought to himself but replied Yes to Lee Na’s question almost immediately as soon as Ma Ge told everyone to calm down.

“I do not doubt your capabilities, but I believe a little demonstration would help all of us assess your abilities. I happen to have extensive data on the Great White Snake Demon right here with me. Will you be able to replicate it within this conference room instance? I assume none of the leaders has any objections to wait for a little while?” Lee Na looked around, and not one of them disapproved of this idea.

It was clear to him that it was meant as an impromptu test for him as a newly promoted Demon Exorcist cum dungeon supplier. She passed the USB data drive to Jin, which he plugged into his phone.

“How does it look, System?” Jin kept quiet in front of the group while he spoke to the System via his thoughts.

“Very much in User’s Favour. The data corresponds to Ke Mi’s Great White Snake to nearly 100% in terms of appearance. However, the abilities of the Zither Mistress’ snake are vastly different from the Great White Snake Demon seen on Earth.” The System noted.

“Is it possible to mimic those abilities with upgrade cards?” Jin pretended to fiddle on his phone for a short while.

“Possible. However, within such a short amount of time at most, you could replicate intermediate and advanced abilities.” The System answered, and Jin nodded his head and told the System, he would take over.

“Erm…I know it is stupid to ask but don’t you need to go to some server to recreate your monster?” Lee Na asked, and Jin smiled back at her. She could not understand what was going through his mind until they all sensed another new and yet distinct aura in the room.

The atmosphere in the room felt heavy as it nearly made everyone move instinctively to reach out for their weapons in their storage ring. It was later then the seniors realised that it could possibly be the results from the test that was given to Jin.

Looking to their right, they saw glimpses of a big white snake body slithering towards them before disappearing into thin air again. Ma Ge noticed and portrayed a broad smile towards Jin. “You were actually able to create one this quickly? Even our Royal Dungeon Suppliers would need around 30 minutes after having studied it extensively beforehand. How did you manage to do that?”

“Trade Secret.” Jin’s smirk widened as they saw the snake emerge from emptiness once more. Its head hovered right above Jin’s shoulder, sticking its tongue out while scanning the room as if it was treating everyone in the room as a threat. The dungeon supplier subsequently gave it a little pat before the Great White Snake withdrew itself, and the camouflage made it vanish from the premise of the conference room instance.

Everyone was astonished at how authentic the aura felt for a Dungeon supplier’s creation. Even Lee Na, who was a cultivator of the Great White Snake Demon herself approved of the appearance as well as its presence.

“Well not to belittle my competition, but that was not the final version yet. Within such short notice, I was merely able to recreate the snake’s appearance according to your data. But for its more advanced abilities, I am afraid I also need time to reconfigure the settings.” Jin admitted, and Lee Na had all her doubts cleared.

“I temporarily approve of Demon Exorcist Jin as the acting manager for Shenzhen’s Main Branch. While an extensive review of his dungeon facilities will still be conducted by our members in the future, the documents can serve as sufficient supporting documents for now to proceed to the next phase without much delay.” Lee Na sent her verdict and only then did Jin realise that she was the Chief Operating Officer (COO) for JODE.

“That’s great. Now we can officially begin business with Boss Jin…no I suppose it should be Branch Manager Jin now.” Ma Ge corrected himself as he looked towards Grandma Yuan for a moment as if it was her turn to speak.

“Jin. We wish for you to not only create an instance to serve as our base of operations but for you to also continue my legacy by maintaining the Demon Exorcist’s training centre as well.” Grandma Yuan said and asked Clarie to come over to bring out the documents over to Jin’s seat.

“These are the bare requirements for the main branch as well as the training centre. You won’t need to worry about Manpower. We will send you the necessary people to handle the day to day operations. We do, however, expect you to create a facility instance worthy of the main branch.” She said as if it was a hefty duty to take on.

She leaned forward a bit and sent a close range transmission:

“Now brat, do you think you are up for this challenge?”
