Number One Dungeon Supplier-Novel

Chapter 1038 - Teaching Lynn - Part 2

"Alright, so you have to keep in mind to toggle that auto snap option, otherwise, the lamp post would end up floating in the sky," Jin demonstrated as he sat close to Lynn and closely went through the available advanced options one by one. At the same time, he tried to utilise the tutorial period to place items for the Cultivation Zoo. While there was only one Cultivation Zoo instance, it had already been split into various platforms accommodating to the weather, and environment that the animals could be in.

Yun had named them as platforms, yet it was not completely accurate. In fact, they were more akin to mini instances like the ones that had been built for the Meow Meow Karaoke Instance. This was especially useful since it would take a lot fewer resources from the System and the mini instance settings had been locked into place, barring many edits if a person with the knowledge came to fiddle with it. Most of the animals had certain preferences for their environment and Claire, in Grandma Yuan’s stead, had sent Jin the requirements of each and every animal that they had managed to buy to be built.

Most of the exotic animals had been placed into Chrono stasis with the use of magic as that was the best way to preserve them but long periods in such a condition would be bad for the animals, not to mention it was costly in terms of the high mana consumption and thus, a very huge sum in maintenance bill. Jin had no idea that Grandma Yuan had been spending a fortune to keep them in place but since her assistant Claire was doing the accounts, she could not bear to see such money being wasted.

Although she understood Grandma Yuan’s decision to prolong the time for Jin to prepare the Cultivation Zoo Instance, it was simply too much in her opinion. But for certain exotic animals, it was certainly a ’buy now think later’ kind of situation as they were rare enough to be caught in the wild like the Siberian Black Tiger and the Silverback Harambe Gorilla.

While one might think that it was cruel to capture these animals and keep them in captivity, the reality was that Jin’s world was still a world filled with monsters. There might be monsters and animals that coexist together but the eco cycle and the natural chain of survival ensured that these exotic animals were a rarity. By providing them with a place to stay and in an environment sheltered enough to not cause them distress, there could be a greater chance for them to mate and increase their population. Of course, that was under the condition they would have a mating partner.

Oddly enough, in Jin’s world, the monsters and animals could potentially belong to the same family tree. That means that monsters might once have been an adorable kitty and the variation in their family species was due to the shift of magic and chi within them, causing them to mutate.

That was why most monsters were of a higher grade while animals belonged to a lower grade. And yet, some animals maintained their purity and still achieve a high grade cultivation in the wild. Those were the exotic animals which Grandma Yuan had bought off an official zoo auction.

What this also meant was that a Grade 1 generic house cat had the capability to become a Grade 10 Sabertooth Monster or a Grade 10 Siberian Black Tiger. And because of such a trait in Jin’s world, certain animal tamers would personally buy pets to rear and train them for sport.

However, such occurrences were uncommon and there were a variety of factors required to push such mutation or evolution in animals. Jin did ask whether there were worlds out there that had the same kind of animals out of curiosity and the System did mention there were a few worlds that had such features in their world ecosystem. But one that made him very interested was a forced evolution when a user could use a mana crystal to accelerate the evolution for a certain period of time before they return to their pitiful young state.

Still, the System reminded Jin to hold his horses and concentrate on what he had right now before searching into other worlds for projects that were still in the preparation phase. As for his current task, Lynn was attentively taking notes to make sure that she did not miss out on any tips that Jin had explained. The Dungeon Supplier assured Lynn not to worry about that too much as he had already instructed the System to record some of the examples as tutorial playback as well as past special methods he did to increase efficiency while making the dungeon instance.

"So Yun has kindly separated most of the platforms and noted the type of animals that could be placed in those environments. As long it still matches, everything you do in there should be fine. Keep in mind that we want them to remain active. For example, if we just feed the predators their food, they might turn into house cats and laze around all day doing nothing. In the future, we could get humans to fight with them and that would increase their grades." Jin explained.

"Won’t that caused them to suddenly mutate? You will certainly lose a precious exotic animal if you did that." Lynn queried.

"If it was that easy for them to mutate, most of the animals in the world would have already become monsters and there would be no Cultivation zoos left to host them. Perhaps a monster farm? Hahaha." Jin replied with glee. "Still, the System would probably assign a minion expert in Zoology to look after them and see signs of mutation. And considering the omnipotent System is around, it can monitor the vitals and based on their behaviour patterns, we can determine whether they had too much fight for one day. Well, that is assuming if there is a minion expert on that topic. If there are none, I would probably have to buy one..."

"I see, So when they fight, they could increase their grade without any possible death. I assume that’s the difference between our Zoo and the other Cultivation Zoos in the world?" Lynn questioned and Jin nodded his head with excitement.

"We are going to be the very first Dungeon Instanced Cultivation Zoo, allowing people to try their skills against the animal they had been cultivating with. This should allow the animal as well as the cultivators to gain their grades in the future. However, we need to hold our reins or the animals might go too crazy on the cultivators. We still don’t want to risk those exotic animals turning into monsters if what you said could be true."

"Is it possible those animals be beaten up very badly?" Lynn questioned as she was already multitasking putting certain species of trees on the snowy platform.

"The System will stop them if necessary, like forcefully teleporting them out or at the very worst, resurrecting them. But don’t worry. We are after all a shop that specialised in dungeon fighting. The System will make sure there will be a fair percentage of win and losses." Jin smiled as he did an overview recap before giving Lynn some space to try out on the Dungeon Maker Console.
