Chapter 156 Sanctum of Worlds
Chapter 156 Sanctum of Worlds
Sure, he could do worse, like imprisoning them and using them when needed, making them deprived of hope and they could not do anything since the command of absolute loyalty would force them to obey Jin no matter what.
However, Jin did not wish to be that kind of person. He remembered the friend of Ming\'s who he took him out to fish once told him something. "Life is an echo. What you send out will eventually come back to you. So treat others how you want to be treated and that way respect will be earned."
While Jin tried to ask the monsters, except for the Deep ones since he just caught them, for their ideal home, many were quick to respond that they would live in whatever abode their Master would give them. Only Ke Mi and the goblins, who had forged a closer bond with Jin, told him their preferences, though they were more requests rather than preferences.
For example, the goblins wanted a room to themselves rather than sleeping openly with each other while Ke Mi wanted to be with Great White Snake and Shu.
Jin was no architect but he had played enough simulation building games like The Zims to plan out a house design. Not to mention that he also studied the basics of architecture as part of his university modules. Hence, with the limited knowledge he had, he tried to recreate the rooms he envisioned with the experience he had from creating dungeons.
With much work put into the \'Sanctum of Worlds\', which is what he had dubbed the massive apartment complex since all the occupants came from different worlds, Jin was finally done after countless hours in the Dungeon Maker. He looked at his storage watch and saw that there was still some Earth time left before he had to open his shop so he hurriedly entered the Sanctum of Worlds to view the building.
When Jin entered the instance, it looked like a simple apartment complex with a couple of trees on either side of the road. It was unfortunate that the building had such a mouthful of a name but it looked plain on the outside. He did not bother to beautify it since it\'s the inside that mattered more than the outside. Besides, it cost him dungeon dollars just to upgrade the look of the apartment. Oh, those trees and the road? They were complimentary courtesy of the system after the exorbitant amount of money he spent making this that he could have spent on making more dungeons.
As he entered the apartment building, there was a lift that could bring him up all the way to the 20th floor. However, most of the apartments were left empty for future occupants and currently only the first floor was occupied.
The first apartment he visited was the goblins. Hence, after Jin unlocked the door to their apartment, he called out the goblins and Mr Oink from his phone. The goblins had their jaws open wide the moment they came out of Jin\'s phone.
The \'room\' was actually an instance in a bigger instance. Within the goblin\'s home instance, the goblins were situated in a forest-like area with three wooden huts in a wide clearing. The small village even had a goblin totem that Jin had randomly made based on the inspirations he had from his earth\'s history and fantasy tales. Since the goblins he caught were similar to them, he figured he would give it a try.
The village had a meat rack, a small training ground for the goblins to practice and even a campfire for the goblins to come together for meals. Meanwhile, Mr Oink was rummaging happily through the forest and soon found the cave near the village that Jin had made for Mr Oink to sleep in. The goblins thanked Jin for providing them with a new home that was far superior to the small broken down shack they used to occupy.
Next, Jin did the same thing as he entered the Zither Mistress\' apartment. For her, it was slightly different. Perhaps biasness played a role in the amount he had splurged on this instance, which could be seen from Ke Mi\'s face as she was flabbergasted by the scale of her home instance. It was actually modelled to look like an old Chinese courtyard house, also known as a Si He Yuan. While this kind of house was meant for extended families, right now, it belonged solely to Ke Mi, the Great White Snake, Shu, and his praying mantis.
However, the emphasis was given to the courtyard more than the rooms since Jin knew that the tree, reptile, and insect would appreciate it more and most likely spend more time there. Even Ke Mi, who was used to the emptiness, was unsettled by such a grand gift by Jin.
The courtyard provided space for Shu while the Great White Snake preferred to sleep on the roof of the courtyard house. Meanwhile, the praying mantis stayed by Shu\'s side while Ke Mi slept in the house. For the first time, she felt like she was a noble.
Although a big house usually meant that there was a lot of cleaning to be done, since this was an instance monitored by the system, she did not have to worry about anything like that. Jin had a feeling that Ke Mi would not be used to sleeping in such a big house so he purposely created a bed right beside Shu. And true enough, Ke Mi liked that more than the one in the house.
For Jin, the zombie place was one of the cheapest as the one he put the least amount of effort into. The funny part was that when Jin tried to summon them, the whole lot of them just rushed out of the phone like some black sludge being forced out of a pipe. Jin had used a pre-made instance that the dungeon maker had as part of its repertoire.
It was a derelict theme park where the rides still worked occasionally. Since some of the zombies were \'intelligent\' enough to get on the rides, once there was a sufficient amount of zombies on board the ride, the instance would automatically activate the rides for the zombies to have some fun.
Jin made quick work of his visit to the zombie\'s home instance and went to the Jacks\' home instance straight after. This was the one he was really interested in, mainly because of one thing. The werejackals and werecats loved their farming and he had a farming errand on his to-do list for a very long time.
He had created a mansion for the large group of werejackals and werecats to live in. Just outside of their mansion, there were acres of land just waiting to be ploughed. With sufficient dungeon dollars, Jin also bought Nyanmi from the Dungeon Maker since she was on rental for the Bank Heist Instance, and this allowed her to permanently live with Meomi as well as the rest of the gang. That way, Meomi would at least have a female friend if the Jacks proved to be an annoyance. To Jin\'s surprise, Meomi actually regarded Nyanmi more as a sister rather than a friend.
"Gold, I have something to ask you," Jin asked Gold, the leaders of the Jacks, to step aside for a while after a tour of the place. "Master, what can I do for you? After seeing the home that you have given us, we are willing to do anything for you." Gold beat his chest as a sign of respect to Jin.
"I would like to know if you can plant these seeds as well as helping me identify what these seeds actually yield? Why did Zeru take these away from you guys?" Jin took out the seeds that Zeru had stolen from the Jacks in the farming world. It felt like an eternity had passed since that training incident.
Gold looked at the crystal seeds and laughed. "Boss, these crystal seeds…" His expression turned serious as he looked at Jin.
"...are actually eggs of a monster in the Farming World."
