Number One Dungeon Supplier - Chapter 103: Reflection

Chapter 103 Reflection

"So, how was your day at work?" Yun could be seen sitting on the couch eating a chicken burger from Wacdonalds while listening to her old CDs that she had found in her room. She had connected the CD player to the modern loudspeakers and listened to them as she ate. It appeared that Yun had decent technical knowledge, which surprised Jin. He did not expect her to know how to connect an old CD player to the loudspeakers.

"You were there and technically, you know about every step and breath I take. How can I hide anything from you? Besides, how did you have the money to buy Wacdonalds?"

"Hahaha yes you cannot, I was just being courteous. Oh and I just paid for this meal with your debit card." Yun grinned with her mouth full of food. She then offered fries to Jin, which he did not refuse, since it was his money to begin with. Sometimes, Jin could not figure out Yun's personality. Yun could be motherly at times to Jin but he realised that she loved to play the role of the fool with him, acting childish and all. However, when it came to working in the recovery instance, she was very professional.

While Yun might not have noticed, (or she could have since she was connected to Jin). Customers praised her for the excellent balance in care and authority she showed when dealing with patients in the recovery instance.

A number of patients would get rowdy simply because they simply could not accept the fact that they lost the dungeon instance. "I barely played the instance and I died to it! I want a refund!" Some customers demanded their refund but Yun always stood tall in those situations and never backed down from the argument.

At other times, Yun was the caring mother that everyone wanted. Since the dungeon instance was still in fact reality, some of the cultivators went through their first death experience and the memories and phantom pains they felt after waking up from the recovery instance was traumatic. Yun was nevertheless there to console them and even encouraged them to try again. "There will always be someone stronger in this world, but at the very least, now you know what it was like to know fear. Understand it, work with it and finally be in control of it." Yun's words vividly remained in one of the female customer's heart and to this day, that encouragement was one of the reasons why she was still a fairly regular customer of Jin's store.

"Hey, Jin stop blanking out and eating my fries!!!" Yun noticed her packet of fries was almost consumed entirely by Jin and he was not responding to Yun when she talked to him.

"Huh, oh sorry..wait Hey, didn't you buy this meal using my money?" Jin took another few pieces of fries before Yun snatched it back and wept at the abysmal remaining amount. Jin felt a little bad for her and said he would buy a meal for her next time but then he realised he had just fallen into her simple trap.

"Hehe, do not be this naive again when you are chasing that girl. She is not a simple one...I think." Yun said casually as she took her cokacola drink and sipped it. However, after she was done with her burger, she turned her body towards Jin, who was sitting beside her, while listening to the soft rock music. "Tell me, why did you want her to be your employee? Do you know the kind of risk you are bringing upon yourself if you bring in a commoner who knows nothing about the system? Let's just assume she decides to keep it a secret and she was fine with it, but what if she was threatened by people to spill your secrets?"

Despite Yun rambling on and on, Jin only captured a single word. "She's a commoner?!"

"Huh, you cannot discern that she hasn't cultivated and that she's a commoner?" Yun was slightly shocked by Jin's response, after which, she realised that she was only able to determine that the girl was a commoner since it was the power of the system that allowed her to do so. "Ah, my bad. my ability allows me to discern if anyone could be a threat to you in the store. Remember that old man that brought two high school students to have some sort of magical musical contest with the Zither Mistress Ke Mi? He was roughly a grade 9 cultivator but he was suppressing his cultivation to grade 4 for some reason."

"Oh, I had no idea that you had such an ability." Jin was astonished by this new fact regarding Yun.

"You never really ask much, like how you only follow instructions of the system rather than taking charge of this life of yours. This is not university or high school. There isn't anyone to guide you through this but yourself. Of course, you can follow the system and get a decently comfortable life out of it but surely you can do better than this. My dad would have been disappointed." Yun lashed her complaints at Jin and suddenly Jin felt like she struck a very sensitive nerve of his.

What she said was true. He never had a proper goal in life, so when the system now forced him to be the number one dungeon supplier, he assumed that all he needed to do was to follow the system's orders and he would reach there eventually. He simply took the system's missions and followed them blindly, even though he originally wanted to be a dungeon supplier.

Now that he was reflecting, he realised that it was also a whim that he had had in university that made being a dungeon supplier his goal. And this was just so that he was able to escape the clutches of an engineering job. It was only because he took the whim more seriously than other things in life that he started to research about how to be a supplier, and what was needed to be a successful supplier.

It was then that Jin started to take life by its horns and steer in the direction he wanted...until he found that his grades started to drop and he panicked. Since then, his goal changed to suit the circumstances he was in and Jin started to solely focus on his grades, in hopes of receiving a proper engineering degree.

He gave excuses to himself, saying that he wanted to get a decent paying engineering job and that he needed to earn some money before perhaps opening a dungeon supplier store. However, those excuses were only used to fuel his laziness, causing him to not take charge of his own life.

"Are you listening to me? Why are you blanking out again? Are you that tired?" Yun was a little annoyed that Jin went into a blank stare, but when she saw Jin's serious expression, she decided to keep quiet for a while.

After a while, Jin lowered his head and spoke. "I will think about my life choices. Thank you for reminding me of how pathetic I am." Upon hearing that, Yun sighed and placed her hands on Jin's shoulders.

"Jin. Look at me." Yun was trying to create eye contact with him and Jin reluctantly looked at her.

"Yes, you are pathetic, but at the very least, you are trying to make something out of your life. This shows that you are not giving up. Hey, eyes on me!" Yun spoke seriously to Jin but Jin wanted to look away because he could not bear looking at her while feeling lousy.

"Look, Jin. I am not saying that your choice to just follow the system was wrong but remember that the system is just a means to live your life. Make the system do things for you rather than you doing what the system wants you to do. If you have not noticed yet, this system is very flexible and charitable...to a certain degree. As long as you use it well and not to exploit people, I think it will serve you well." Yun then pats on Jin's head and gave him a kiss on his forehead.

"If you need anything, ask me. The bellators and I are here to help you." Yun waved at him as she yawned and returned to her room. However, in less than a few seconds, she opened the door to her room. "Oh and don't think I forgot about the initial question even though our conversation derailed. Give me a good reason why you want her to be your helper and maybe I will help you by getting her the ingredients."

Yun closed the door once more while Jin was staring blankly into space again. "Because I think I am interested in her."
