Number One Dungeon Supplier

But she had no idea that Jin was going to do something more \'boyfriend\' like by asking her to sit beside him and look through the options to discuss with the System before their proposal towards the Synthesis AI Administration. For someone who was terrible in expressing their emotions, this was probably the best roundabout way to ask for affection though Lynn positively accepted Jin\'s awkward way of presenting himself to her.

So, she took a quick snuggle beside him on the couch as the console lit up for the both of them and they talked to the System on how to improve the current situation. And as they were discussing, the System suddenly stated that a representative from the AI Administration had arrived in the chat group.

This was it. 

They had to strike a deal with the representative if they wished to get something out of this meeting. "Firstly, the Synthesis AI Administration would like to express appreciation for the numerous data points that you have provided for the Virtual Simulation. We were sceptical at first at how an outsider like you could influence our current dataset but this drastic turn of events had been most welcoming. It might have been the first time for many within the AI administration to understand a little taste of ...in human terms, Chaos."

"Would appreciate it as well if you have a name to yourself instead of calling you a representative of the Synthesis AI Administration,"  Jin said and the AI looked as if he was looking forward to such a response.

"My most sincere apologies. I never expected a human would want a name from a collective group of computers. But if you insist, call me- call us, Syn."

"The System preferred to remain to be called as the System." The System stated which made both Jin and Lynn chuckle a little.

"We know, you are the almighty System. We will keep your name as it is." Jin replied as he welcomed Syn into this conversation.

"Let\'s head straight into business, shall we? As you could see, the chaos we created is not going to disappear anytime soon." 

"Indeed, and to know that the System does not regularly share data with me especially the one where you had a lengthy conversation with Archduke Dyke is most disturbing for us and yet equally exciting. We as Syn could roughly guess what is being planned and how it would develop but as people always say, the end is not everything, but rather the journey. We would be interested to see how you guys are going to play this out, shaking the Empire from its dominant roots." Syn said with much pleasure.

"Thus, as an olive branch from us in appreciation for what you all have done,  we will remove the negative effects of the previous deal that we had made previously."

"Wait... what you mean is...?" Jin\'s eyes lit up. 

"Yes, you are dying to get out of this place, right? The System has told us of your desperate situation, and we will pour our existing resources to construct a Soul Inhibitor for you so that when your allies arrive, they will be able to put your body into the Soul Inhibitor and allow you to exit this Virtual Simulation."

"I believe there is a catch, correct? There is no way you pesky AIs are that generous. I had already been under the mercy of one before they become my friend." Jin said as if poking fun at the System. And while those last few words were unnecessary, it indirectly showed that Jin wants to be allied with the Synthesis World\'s AI Lords if it was possible. 

"Friend..." Syn kept that thought for a moment before speaking out their demands. "See this current grand chain of events to the end and we will allow you to get out despite not having enough points or even while you are in debt points. Of course, the points would still play a part as usual since you can use that for your shopping and subsequent purchases as the lord."

"Ah, I see." Jin knew where Syn was going about but also knew there must be a hidden catch in between all of this. "Seeing how you are so dangerous, you wish to up the antics a little, don\'t you?"

"We honestly hope you could provide some more excitement in comparison to the theorised civil war within the Empire." Syn requested and this made Jin laugh. 

"Trust me, I can give you more. Way more than you could ever hope. I can give you an example, but you let me build my territory first. In fact, if you allow me to introduce some tweaks to this current Virtual Simulation and you might be able to see even more chaos." Jin said, suggesting that he might have a few tricks under his sleeve to make this even more interesting.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Lay it bare to us right now" 

"Even though we do not look like it, we are merchants too," Jin said with a slow grin. "And we have almost every basic essential under the sun. Well, granted that they are not of this world, we might have some differences in concepts." 

"Now, colour me intrigued," Syn said and Jin immediately asked the System to show a sample list of items which they might feel that they are lacking. From daily sundries to essential construction materials that varied from refined metal to concrete. That was where Syn could practically feel a tug of their heartstrings even though they were AI constructs.

"We can provide all of this for you at a cost, of course." 

"And what will that cost be?" Syn replied without any hesitation. Oh, the smile on Jin\'s and Lynn\'s face. It was gold.
