Chapter 236 A Mother's Concern

"How did Boss Jin do that!?!" A customer shouted after experiencing a bout of silence for a few seconds when Jin executed the parry slash and deflected two bullets at once. Yet, there was no sign of cultivation shown above him, indicating that this was his base strength without the aid of any cultivation. The entire crowd was stunned by the whole performance.

"Now I can safely say that Boss Jin deserves to be the boss of this dungeon supplier store." Bin Yong commented, and many people started to agree. To be a true dungeon supplier not only require shop management and technical skills, but they also had to have the strength and skills to create those monsters so their customers could adequately train.

While it was true that the definition of a dungeon supplier in the modern context had been diluted due to the aid of technology, with this feat, Jin had convinced them that he did not just rely on superior technical support as predicted by Mr Know-It-All. It proved to his fellow customers that he was entirely worthy of the title of dungeon supplier.

Even Mr Know-It-All who repeatedly saw how Jin fought for the past month or so was surprised that his base foundation was this strong. If Mr Know-It-All knew that Jin had been bathing in unique herbal medicinal baths prepared by the System almost every day to strengthen his body, fighting in life and death situations just to collect monsters and had a system to aid him, Mr Know-It-All would have trashed his section of notebook away.

But he did not. So many began to feel that this particular dungeon supplier had more to offer in the coming future. And they were not wrong.

"Check your phone during the interval," Nyanmi said to Jin as she pretended to strike Jin with a surprise blow, but Jin cut her into pieces even before she could move another muscle. Her body eventually disappeared, and Jin quickly checked on his phone.

"Expose part of the System to your friend, Qiu Yue, especially the Dungeon City Fortress. Get her to work for you as an employee. Rewards: Tier 2 Bellator Network." Jin was surprised when he saw the word Network. "Grandpa Ming did mention something about the System's Network before." He thought.

"Secondary Objective: Complete this random arena battle without revealing your true cultivation strength. Others are watching. Optional Rewards: Radiant Red Panda in the Umbral Snow Cultivation Manual." The system stated clearly that this was an impromptu urgent mission to be completed, but before Jin could react, Qiu Yue came behind him and patted his shoulder hard.

"Wow! That was amazing! How did you even do that?" Qiu Yue was pleasantly surprised as she thought that Jin would need help from her after she defeated the werecat. Nonetheless, it was still rather taxing for her because it had been some time since she had participated in any dungeon.

"Oh, yea…hahaha… Hmm? It looks like you have a rather bad wound." Jin took out a towel from his storage watch and tried to wipe the dirt away from her wound to distract her from her question. "Ouchie! I did not expect that it would hurt so much." Qiu Yue gave a small cry which made Jin stop for a while and walk around.

"What are you doing?" Qiu Yue asked, but Jin ignored her for a moment until it seemed that he found something. "I saw something shiny just now when I was fighting, so I returned to that area to make sure. I believe it is some sort of potion." Jin made up an excuse as he returned to Qiu Yue with a large bottle of chi and health regeneration potion. He offered it to Qiu Yue, and she gulped it down as if she had just returned from a desert.

Jin had a few of such bottles in case of emergencies like Milk not being around to heal him. He initially thought of just using the potions that the random arena battle provided at the end of every round. However, he figured that Qiu Yue should be in tip-top shape if he wants to complete the secondary objective. It would be pretty hard not to reveal his strength in addition to completing this particular random arena.

Suddenly, a treasure chest dropped from the skies and the lid opened wide in front of them. There were definitely some potions in it, but none as significant or as potent as the one Jin was holding. In addition to that, there were the bronze panda medals which Qiu Yue was fascinated by, and all thank the design.

"Woooo! Pandas! They are so cute! I am loving this dungeon supplier store more and more." Qiu Yue said with excitement before they felt that the floating platform they were on started to rumble through the skies.

At that point, Jin and Qiu Yue saw another floating platform, that was two times bigger than theirs, which was on a direct crash course towards them. Jin held onto Qiu Yue's hand after absorbing the chest of panda medals into his storage watch.

"Why is he holding my hand so tightly!?" Qiu Yue panicked inside. Meanwhile, Jin was thinking of something entirely different.

"What does the System mean by 'Others are watching'? Could it be that Yun did not listen to me and is currently broadcasting the entire random arena battle run onto the auditoriums? Or did it simply refer to Qiu Yue and Meomi watching me? No, that can't be it. If it were the latter, the System would not have said it with such ambiguity. So my best guess is that it's the former. Damn... that mother of mine likes to sneak into my thoughts…"

"Yes, I am sneaking while I can. I cannot believe you made a deal with the System to cut me off once you have completed the business partnership with that Tiger Princess Yang Ling."

"Even if you are my mother, you are just a figment, a property of the System," Jin spoke ruthlessly in his thoughts. "This particular mission made it even more obvious. I always thought that you were an ally of mine, but time and time again, you proved me wrong." Jin prepared to jump onto the incoming floating platform as he argued telepathically with Yun.

"But I am doing this for your good! This Qiu Yue seems to be a better wife material than Zhen Qing could ever be!" Yun pouted in the shop instance as she spoke her thoughts to Jin.

"I appreciate that thought, but she made her decision years ago. I will not deny I still have some feelings for her but do not do this kind of meddling ever again in the future. I respect her. Please do not think of her as some tool." Jin was undeniably angry, and Qiu Yue could feel that the chi surrounding Jin was somewhat unstable as they landed perfectly onto the second floating platform.

"What is happening to Jin? Why is he so angry?" Qiu Yue was a little scared since she knew that Jin does not usually get that frustrated for no reason.

"Anger does not suit you." Moloch clasped his hands together as he sat on a stone throne at the edge of the floating platform with his legs folded.

"This is interesting." Jin let go of Qiu Yue's hand when he realised he was grasping her hand too tightly. "Sorry, Qiu Yue, I was a bit occupied with some thoughts. Are you okay?" Qiu Yue who wanted to be angry at Jin became apprehensive after noticing his sudden change of attitude and the chi that surrounded him.

From something unstable and suffocating, his aura changed suddenly and was now filled with confidence yet calming at the same time. At that time, Qiu Yue could not help but notice that this kind of feeling was very similar to the experience she felt when she inserted her aura into the signboard.

"Could it be…? No…I don't think so… it should be just a coincidence." Qiu Yue shook her doubts for the moment and concentrated on the battle in front of them.
