As Jin entered the recovery instance, the military vendors were making a ruckus after they had stabilised. Most of the complaints were directed towards the South China Military Coalition vendor, Si Gou Li. Before Jin attended to them, he asked Peppers to prepare the procedure for the integration of the Poison Isolation Core with Milk as the Panda Nurses a.s.sisted Yuan Ba for the impromptu surgical process.
Gou Li was the one who brought the a.s.sa.s.sin Ban De with him to this particular unknown dungeon supplier they had never heard of before. If they had not survived the attack, Jin"s reputation would"ve forever been tarnished. Military organisations might have concluded that it was a conspiracy between Yang Ling, the unknown dungeon supplier and Gou Li to a.s.sa.s.sinate their representatives and the head of the Royal Zodiac Tiger in which case the organisations would spare no effort in crus.h.i.+ng Jin and Yang Ling.
However, since the military vendors were all rescued, including Gou Li, they were extremely grateful for Jin"s a.s.sistance. They also a.s.sumed that this dungeon supplier contact was some sort of secret force belonging to the Royal Zodiac Tigers, which allowed Yuan Ba to come in without any guards nor other protection.
"For the last time, I am as surprised as all of you. Before today I never had any idea that he had such a background. For G.o.d"s sake he had been aiding me for over ten years and I placed my life in his hands, trusted that I would do the same for him too. I honestly was unaware, that he could have attempted to a.s.sa.s.sinate Yuan Ba." Gou Li tried to justify himself and no doubt most of the military vendors believed that he was not linked. Yet they needed to place their fears and blames onto someone at the moment, so for most of them he became the natural scapegoat."Don"t worry Gou Li. The investigators will probably dig out the truth and that will prove your innocence once and for all. Speaking of which what happened to the a.s.sa.s.sin…Boss..?" One of the vendors who saw Jin looking at the commotion asked.
"Name"s Jin. He messed with me in my own dungeon and tried to kill me too. According to me working as a licenced Dungeon Supplier, I have the rights to detain any cultivator on my property, who has attempted criminal activities, until the police arrive. The police had been contacted, and they should be arriving soon. Though the laws and regulations do not state that I can only detain him…if you get my drift. Besides, he even attempted to a.s.sa.s.sinate the military personnel. So it might be the case, that the local police had to contact the military police to come in and that will take some extra time." Jin informed them in a fairly serious tone with some hinting of his own flair of punishment which caused the vendors all laughed.
"Hahaha Son, I have seen crazy stuff before, capable of all sorts of things, but you? I saw your dungeon and your manifestation of monsters for myself. Only a dungeon supplier with highly in depth knowledge and tons of experience could produce such high quality monsters. Plus, you showed us you got b.a.l.l.s, I like that in a brat." The late 60"s bearded vendor pa.s.sed his name card to Jin, and most other vendors started to do the same too. Jin took a look at the name card he first received and it was Hou Fei.
"If you could ever create a military exercise of such a grand scale, no doubt our troops would benefit in the long run and I would be very happy to do business with you." Hou Fei offered, echoed by many other vendors.
"But that would mean I need specifications of tanks, artilleries, planes, s.h.i.+ps etc... would you be providing that?" Jin asked and Hou Fei laughed. "The details can be discussed if you ever accept our invitation to create such a large scale exercise." Hou Fei"s laughter abruptly stopped, as he received a telepathic message from Yuan Ba.
"…You are General Ming"s grandson?" Hou Fei was extraordinarily shocked and the news surprised the other vendors too, before they all took a step back and saluted at Jin to correctly thank him for his rescue. Jin was quite speechless. He did not know Ming had such a wide sphere of influence in the military. But then again Ming had clearly separated his work and private life, except for some complaints here and some boasts there.
"I was directly under Ming"s command before he went to become a glorified desk jockey. Now I can see the resemblance of craziness between him and you. I see. I see. This will be interesting indeed. You know what? Forget my last sentence for offering you a contract, I am now demanding it." Hou Fei looks had turned to an old scheming fox. It takes one to know one, but Jin had been around Kraft"s cunning face long enough to know that Hou Fei was planning something big.
"We can discuss it later. Don"t worry I won"t disappear. After all I am aware you could simply evoke an obscure military clause that can summon citizens" help in time of peace if I do not help you out. Ming used to talk about the experiences he had with that clause. But I have to attend to Yuan Ba first." Jin said nonchalantly to break away from Hou Fei before he got caught into an even bigger s.h.i.+tstorm when he was already in multiple ones."Go on ahead, rescuing him will no doubt bring you some favourable "gifts" in the future." Hou Fei replied and most of the vendors unknowingly nodded their head in unison.

Yang Ling was taken back by Jin"s quick response in getting the Poison Isolation Core ready. In fact it was WAY too fast, that she could not wrap her mind to the truth. However, the result was genuine, she had checked the core that was on her hand and the design was 100% the one she herself had envisioned mere minutes ago. Jin used the dilation of time in the Dungeon Maker as an excuse, but even without psionic powers, he could see that she was certainly not buying it. Jin was definitely hiding something but not willing to share with her.
"I guess I will have to probe him in the future… if he still allows it." Yang Ling regretfully thought to herself what an valuable ally she could have obtained, if she did not act on impulse and stupidly aimed directly for his sacred treasures, that caused the irk of his companions.Even now Yang Ling could feel, that her treatment had turned noticeably colder. In the meantime, Yuan Ba was signing consent forms for the impromptu surgeries to indemnify Jin and his friends from anything that could happen during the operation.
"You sure you really want us to do it? With your status, you should have access to highly reputable surgeons and hospital care, instead of under the care of erm dungeon manifested panda nurses and a fake priest with a child mage to do your surgery." Jin tried to confirm Yuan Ba"s decision to do this surgery by non medical trained staff, though he knew that with the System aiding them, anything is possible.
"What are you talking about? I know enough to see that Miss Milk here has the knowledge of High Saint Priest. Who else would be able to cast the "Saviour of Angels" Immortal Star Restoration" healing skill, one of the few top tiers spell in the world? As if that was not rare enough, I doubt more than a handful of experts would be able to still cast Celestial Star Rejuvenation on top of that without fainting from it? And out of those I doubt more than one or two would have been able to keep me stable for so long. I am already in the hands of an expert. Yang Ling, I had no idea you made such friends, but you should definitely treasure them… whatever the outcome." Yuan Ba sent a ma.s.s telepathic message to the people around him but only the extended one to Yang Ling.
"Oh this reckless Tiger knows his stuff, I am impressed." Milk sn.i.g.g.e.red at the direction of clueless Yang Ling since she did not know Milk was that capable.
"Maybe that"s why he is keeping his silence towards you." Peppers laughed loudly before Jin placed his hand at her mouth.
"If that is the case, we have received your consent. We will be doing the Poison Isolation Core surgical procedure so that others might receive the same treatment if done correctly. I must apologise that you have to be the first. As you said yourself Milk might be some top rate (fake) priest, but even she had reached her limits taking care of you." Jin said as he asked the Panda Nurses to push Yuan Ba into the surgical procedure room.
