Chapter 1993: Still A Delibration
"Do you think that I have time to handle and enter the Martial Artist Competition?" Jin loled as he was reminded of the offer that the Royal Zodiac Clan Heads offered, especially the Tiger Dad who wanted Jin to show the world what he was capable of.
"Considering that you had already made sure that there are other dungeon instances ready, the System does not see it as a problem for you to join. Increasing popularity would also in turn increase the popularity of the Dungeon Supplier store."
"For the System to forget that there is still the expansion problem at hand? Is this truly the System that I know about?" Jin asked and the System kept quiet for a while before replying.
"The System had a priority ranking on the issues at hand. And the priority to enter the competition is the same as the priority of dealing with the expansion problem that you have created." The System stated as a matter of fact.
"So the possible advantages and rewards that I may get is roughly the same for both sides? Is that what you meant?"
"Yes, the short term advantages of getting first place in the Martial Artist Competition would outshine the current expansion that you are about to develop. By doing so, User will prove to the world there there is truly one major capable cultivator that the countries should be wary of.
The System theorised that your name and store would be more attractive when it comes to the expansion that you wished for. There is also a possibility that User might earn more money and also get the original Shanghai basement that you wish for on a whim."
"Lol, you still think I am grumpy or a little bitter for that particular case?"
"According to the System records and analysis, the User did put in a lot of effort in creating ideas for the basement as compared to the expansion land bought from the famous shopping street as well as the underdeveloped region in Beijing Province."
"Are you like...kind of erm dissing me for not stating the names of those expansions?"
"The System is reflecting the same kind of attitude back to the User. There is no ill will replying back to the User. The System is merely informing and making the User aware of the portrayal of himself towards the expansions compared to the basement that he initially wished for."
"...You are seriously thinking too much about it. Besides whatever concept that I had about the basement can also be applied to the new expansion areas as well..." Jin remarked casually while in actuality, he was being careful how to respond back to the System in case the System was going to spite him back with further comments.
"If the System is over analysing the situation, then the System recommends the User not get involved in the Martial Artist Invitation Competition and concentrate on the release of the new Dark Days Dungeon instance. After which, start to look into the development of the two expansion areas so that more revenue can come in. Does the User agree with this plan?"
"You do not want to see how other people react to the Martial Artist Competition?" Jin asked and the System returned a nonchalant reply.
"The System had collected sufficient data from various events and this is on a bigger scale than any other events due to the infusion of new rules and regulations such as killer moves are allowed, the System felt that there was no need to be worried."
"Not even Banned Emperor Terrorists?" Jin asked, considering they had been through a series of Banned Emperor terrorist plots and it would have been normal to be aware of the situation.
"This is a unique situation. There might be Banned Emperor Terrorist sleepers and with Original Bellator's latest information, it was safe to say that there should not be any attacks regardless of the possible sleepers. On the other hand, this is a Martial Artist Competition.
If there is truly an attack during national events and when during the quarter finals and beyond that would be shown on television, the whole of China would be more united in defeating the Banned Emperor Terrorist." The System iterated.
"Oh ya! The television part. Is Qiu Yue able to get better terms and conditions?" Jin asked, knowing that selling their content to national TV was something that never happened in his lifetime but he was going to squeeze every single penny that he could from them if possible. If not, he wished to get a 3 month televised slot as a compromise.
That might also work for promoting dungeon supplier content to the public and even better if it is during those popular timeslots. Of course, he was being greedy at that point.
But never in his life did he realise that his desires were readily met. "The Head of Operations was able to get the late evening national televised slots for the quarter finals, semi finals as well as the finals. One hour each and they were willing to drag if it was longer than that. The price stays the same as quoted by the System."
"In addition, the Head of Operations, Qiu Yue had also managed to clinch a deal for a provisional one month televised slot on Saturday Evenings 8.30pm. If it is proven to be popular, they would extend accordingly for a provisional three months and later six months. All of it depends on the popularity of the programme."
"Now that's what I am talking about! How much will it cost though? Still within expectation?" Jin asked and the System stated not to worry about the details as there was a budget set aside for it. If anything, there were already things in place to promote the Dungeon Supplier Store even further using the televised slots. With Kiyu at the helm, the System believed they were going to do just fine.
After all, it was mainly due to Kiyu's aid in the making of the proposal that allowed Qiu Yue to get those slots. While there were no doubt some connections involved, considering Ma Ge from the Royal Horse Zodiac Clan to pull some strings, it was ultimately the effort shown by Qiu Yue and Kiyu that paved the way for this proposal to be feasible.
They were merely using the connections that Jin had to break through in the industry.
Who knows? Maybe Kiyu is able to create a short film or even drama series which she could use to get the Dungeon Supplier to be all the more popular. After all, the dungeon instance can create anything realistically and the System is able to produce makeshift items and buy items from the multiverse black market if it is long term.
Regardless, Jin wants to breakthrough and diversify. If he could go into the television and film industry, there would be money to be earned and with the number of minions that he has under his care. He could easily create war films be it historical fiction, science fiction or even fiction stories extremely easily. That was why one of the reasons why he had a partnership with Rei.
"Ah, speaking of Rei, I should go get some information about the movie that he was making...or I could just ask the System." Jin indirectly looked at his electronic hologram to get more direct information. (If the System had a face, he would probably be staring at him all day long.)
"Rei had yet to make his movie. The System believed that he had stumbled on something difficult to produce especially when the studio is having a strike because of the amount of money they were being paid."
"Then erm pay them more? What's the issue with that? I thought we had more than enough a budget."
"The staff mentioned were the actors. Rei had decided to do a live action sequence compared to a 3D animated production considering the fact that they were able to use the Supa Robo Wars as the backdrop."
"Wait what? Since where did this change occur?"
"Since when you were not in this world."
"So he is hoping that some A grade actor would live up to the hype of the studio?"
"Exactly." The System stated and told Jin that they needed more than just a few millions in their bank account if they would want to make a live action movie starring actual moving robots.
