Chapter 1654 Daimon Aftermath -Part 3
"Where was I? Oh, yes. We have lots of loots from the death of the monster outbreak and we shall use them to the best of our abilities." Jin repeated. "Given that we are in close proximity to so many dungeons also means that we are blessed with the possibility of additional resources despite the fact that we might encounter another monster outbreak."
"So, from today onwards. In order to improve self sufficiency of Daimon City, I have decided to make Dungeon Raiding a compulsory activity for all Citizens. Expectations would differ among genders and ages but you are always welcome to challenge yourself." Jin said and the Citizens were taken aback by this compulsory activity.
"One would ask whether this sounds worse than military expansion. It might be especially how the dungeons after a certain period of time turned into a Variant Dungeon."
"When that happens, we will either leave it alone or have specialists to try and conquer it. This way, we will have ample amount of resources and food to not only be self sufficient but also to advance forward.
"These activities would make citizens be well armed, well prepared for any circumstances, and with the Mechanical Crystal Dragon out on the loose, do you really want to find yourself in a situation where you cannot protect yourself?" Jin asked.
"In return for doing all these activities on a monthly, weekly, or even daily basis. The amount of contribution would also yield you money as well contribution points which you can gather and earn yourself a free Mechanoid, courtesy of Diamondz Corp.
"I DID NOT HEAR OF THAT!" Page could imagine Denise shouting over and over that Jin had not discussed this with her at all.
"However, the details still need to be worked out but everyone knows that they will have a record of the dungeon activity they had done. If you wish to do so before the compulsory date kicks in, by all means and hunt." Jin added.
"So, remember this is for the sake of the city. The City that you had lived peacefully in until sinister people started to target us? This is not a coincidence. We will get to the bottom of this but we need your cooperation. Make Daimon City prosper with the Dungeon Raiding and we would see through these problems. Thank you."
"Not a very convincing speech…" Page remarked.
"You want to dungeon raid because you want your Pandarens to blend in with the people and raid as well, right?"? Lynn suddenly popped out through the console and Jin slowly nodded his head. "You couldn't have make that any less obvious.
"But it's true, you saw how much metal is lying around from all the dead Ogres? There is no way we can obtain this kind of material in this game without excessive mining. They might not have advertised it but dungeon raiding is indeed one of the easiest ways to get rich as a city. Imagine if everyone participates in it, Daimon would not just be self sufficient, she will prosper."
"And so far, I see that no one is willing to go into Dungeons and only military expeditions were given the go ahead. I do not see why not utilise it?"
"Arghhh. I hate it when you are right but you are also wrong to think that way. Alright, alright. Looks like we need to build up this kind of culture within Daimon City." Lynn eventually went off and Jin slept on his bed once more. Page could only shake her head as she left the room and it was then Jin decided to call Dyke.
"I heard." Archduke Dyke's first words when the communication line had been established.
"News travel fast," Jin said with a smile.
"The Neighbouring Lords are wary of you. They requested me if I could keep you in check."
"That's VERY fast." Jin was surprised by that.
"They are monitoring every movement from Daimon as they had never seen an expedition force, especially a defensive one able to not hold their ground but also annihilate TWO simultaneous monster outbreaks."
"Lol, did they see the way I used the Dungeon Instance, causing everyone to disappear?"
"For that, I do not know, but judging from my spies, they only had a few glimpses of the battle here and there but they started questioning how Daimon was able to survive this. After all, you are not using state of the art equipment. Just some standard artillery, well equipped soldiers, and standard combat Mechanoids."
"The only thing they saw difference were the reinforcements and they had problems finding out where they came from. I mean, you are supposed to be Lord of Mount Sunn, but you should not have retainers or soldiers under your disposal that could do what those Pandawans…?"
"Yeah, Pandawans."
"Yes, okay. The lords had no idea what they were capable of as for some reason, the Pandawans footage had always been scrambled which I assume you have Diamondz Corp to thank for."
"The new CEO is extremely cooperative and would like to continue to work with her," Jin stated.
"Good. Good. But in any case, yes. Just be on alert. Continue to stay in Daimon and track their progress for me while I set up your town. After what you had done, this should be a befitting reward."
"Thank you Dyke. All the best and be wary of yourself as well. The enemy knows where you are since they are the ones who ask you to go there," Jin said and that only clicked on Dyke at that particular moment.
"I did not think of that. I shall be careful," Dyke said before closing the comms.
Jin returned to his bed once again and felt that it had been a long time since he had a good sleep. Perhaps, he should be able to rest a little more while Daimon attempts to return to normalcy but things were not as rosy as he would like as Jin suddenly received a call from Qiu Yue.
