Chapter 1830 If You Knew

"If you knew, why did you not tell him." She spoke to the System privately.

"The System believed that this is something he should find out himself. Besides, it had been hinted to him a few times. The secrets would reveal themselves when the time is right." The System replied to her as Jin was finally able to stand up. However, the moment he stood up, those pesky worms seemed to find some more broken muscle tissues that were hiding in his curled up position and started to attack them, causing him to limp for a moment and asking them to give him some more time to recover.

"Hmm, not the greatest of ideas but since there is nothing brewing in the background and Zeru is keeping track of the Banned Emperor, I guess we can stand and do nothing for some time." Grandma Yuan said as she pretended to play with the Astral Panda.

"Indeed, Zeru did say that the perimeters were clear and there should be no harm done at this juncture. He will continue to keep track of any developments." The System wanted to say more things but Jin finally opened his mouth.

"Well, guess we have lots of things to do ever since I came back?" Jin asked as he looked at the coordinates and learned that Kong Rong was also not available at the moment. "I doubt this is urgent, right? Since you said that Ming asked you to pass it to me only when the time comes."

"Yes, but like many things, do not waste too much time." Grandma Yuan felt like she was jabbing at him on the school issue once more.

"I check on it, settle the facilities as soon as possible, and give you the authority to run it. Besides, the deadline for the facility is …" Jin was obviously looking for the System to give him a saving grace.

"Unfortunately for Jin, the school development deadline is supposedly in a few weeks' time. However, the System is confident Jin is able to clear that in no time."

"Too close for comfort but I will get it done within this week before I meet Kong Rong to talk about the …the martial arts and sports competition!" Jin said as he felt that if he stayed any longer, he might be in deeper trouble.

"Oh, the competition is coming, might be a good time for JODE to send some representatives to participate. What do you think, Claire?" Grandma Yuan asked and her assistant nodded her head with confidence.

"I believe the students you had cared for and groomed are good candidates for the competition. But it would be better if they have a school that hosts it rather than being part of it in name." Claire responded and Jin got it. Like he really really REALLLLLYYYY got the hint.

"Okay! Okay! Yes, Grandma Yuan!" Jin said as he dashed out of the place the moment he wore his shoes. "Geez. Why am I suffering this when I am the one who had been in the unfortunate position to enter the Synthesis World!" Jin grumbled knowing that he just needed to get it off his chest.

"If the User had planned his time better and made fewer promises before you got sucked into an unknown world by celestial beings who are able to control time, space, and your body. Then things might not be this way."

"To be honest though, how's the school instance? I thought we did up quite a fair bit previously." Jin asked.

"It's unfortunate but Qiu Yue had deemed the school instance as a waste of processing power. Not to mention, she said it was extremely inefficient in terms of design and did not meet the requirements of JODE organisation. So instead of nitpicking it, she destroyed the entire school instance, urging the organisations to give their expectations and requirements properly. Of course, she still kept all the good ideas that the Demon Exorcists had given and even neatened the notes for you to read." The System reported that it sent out a report via his phone while he took a cab back home.

"Most of the ideas had been incorporated with the requirements so there were sample designs of the classrooms, lecture halls, animal and demon storage areas, school facilities, and the miscellaneous items."

"So…is it true that the submission of the school instance for inspection is really within the next few weeks?"

"Unfortunately, yes. Even if you did not meet Grandma Yuan today, she will come to haunt you within this week after learning that you have arrived." The System replied.

"Then what happens if I really had no chance of coming out? Won't that be bad?"

"Yes, Sub System User Claire had already prepared a renumeration fee to JODE for not being able to submit the first iteration of the school instance on time. They initially wanted to try extending the deadline because your presence had disappeared for a considerable period, but the fact that the User had decided to emerge during the Virtual Reality spoils all chances."

"Geh! Oops I never really thought of that…"

"So did Qiu Yue until Claire reminded her after the event had started and the headache came. That was why Qiu Yue had reluctantly put her fingers into this matter and tried to salvage it as much as she could… until she realised it's easier to just make a new one than adjusting the old school instance based on the new requirements."

"If I was around, I probably could fight back and tell them what's done is done."

"Something along those lines might be possible if you are around. And the fact was, you were not. No point to think about the past. Also, the System believed that they are the customers and ultimately, they have the right to request for something that we should be able to deliver considering how we focused on quality over quantity." The System stated and Jin sighed knowing that what it said was absolutely correct. If there is one thing they try not to forget is the customer's experience is important. (Although sucking their money was equally a priority too.)

"Then …did Qiu Yue?" Before Jin could ask the obvious question, the System already gave the affirmation reply.

"Yes, with the new requirements being shoved down to our hypothetical throats, it also meant that if completed, the quotation for the new instance could also increase as well, and thus lifting our bottom line even higher than ever. Not that high but still rather high. Leave it to Operations Head Qiu Yue to settle it." The System corrected itself for the last part of the sentence.

"Lol, no more Sub System User Qiu Yue?"

"At times, calling by her new title somehow empowers and motivate her to perform better. The System will see if the effect last long or not. Else, the System will return to the standard title that she possessed."

"Still better than User."

"Would you prefer the System to call you, Useless?"

"Fine. Point taken." Jin shook his head as he shut his eyes a little to think what to come out for the new school instance as the cab drives him back to Tree Mall. (Even though he could just portal! Did he forget how to portal after so long?)
