Chapter 1969: Finally, The Supposed Discussion -Part 4

"So, what's the status of the transportation department?" Jin decided to take the easiest one in first since how wrong can things go with vehicles and roads? Boy, he was somewhat a little off his mark when he thought that it was the easiest thing to take care of first.

"We have started to introduce cars within the cities especially in Pandapolis due to its inherent infrastructure. Both monsters and humans are extremely interested in it and Pandapolis Manufacturing has already produced the first batch of cars for sale.

The only problem that they have is whether we should do memory injection or through rote learning." Ixa reported, seeing that she was being called out when Jin mentioned the word transportation.

"I will suggest memory injection, we do not want them to create problems with the first batch of cars on route, right? Plus, not everyone had seen these cars before and they would not know how to react when they see such metal objects moving at such high speeds in real life." Ixel commented.

"You mean most of Pandapolis had seen what a car is?" Jin asked.

"Yeah, we had been heavily advertising it to be the next new thing for transportation. There were even demonstration events at every corner of Pandapolis for people to see what the hell this is." Ixa said and Jin was starting to think whether it was feasible to have those cars right now when everyone in Pandapolis-to his memory, everyone had been using the main roads as their pathways to work.

Sure, there was a lane for horse carriages but it would immediately be occupied by the pedestrians when those horses had passed the area.

"Do we have buses as part of the transportation system?" Jin asked and Ixa shook her head.

"You wish to get public transport up first and waste more of our collective funds when there are other things that are in need of fixing?" Ixa asked as she felt that this transportation thing was the best way to earn money from the citizens staying in the city especially since they were clueless about it. They can put these cars at a high price and they could not complain at all.

Not to mention, these cars were made with leftover parts from the black market.

While they may be freshly baked from the factory, Ixa believed that there would be quite a lot of problems with the cars since they were hastily being put in and they were not meant to last long. The System does have knowledge on car manufacturing and has even stolen quite a few plans from overseas companies who had resided their projects within the mainland.

So, the System knew that this batch of cars was equivalent to those cars that had been produced about forty years ago.

Any longer than this period of time, the System would be creating vintage cars that might actually be more valuable regardless of their mass production. So, Ixa had the same sentiment and wanted to ditch all of the goods when the time is right.

Perhaps, she could also learn from a certain tiny city island in Jin's world where they had imposed an expensive certificate to acquire a car and also placed a limit on the car's duration. For example, the certificate they bought to acquire the vehicle could only allow the owner to have the car for ten years. After that, they have to renew the certificate or scrap the car.

This will allow a decent profit to come into the city's coffers and allow their young Pandapolis Central Bank to grow as compared to providing bus services to the public. However, at the end of the day, this was still Jin's city and Ixa could only provide her advice and possible proposals to aid with it.

"No, those cars…I was initially thinking of selling in our world but looking at the quick technical sheet that the System had provided me about those cars, I rather not do so." Jin said as he too had started holding sheets of paper in his hand to consider things.

"So, you are willing to accept this proposal?" Ixa asked, hoping to have a quick resolution of this matter.

"No. I stand firm in providing bus services to Pandapolis. Get buses and with better specifications than these pathetic cars. We merely have to set the speed limit and the interior to look lousy.

The engines and stuff could work as per modern day solutions." Jin said and wanted Ixa to work with the System to look into staffing issues, route planning, and also the establishment of bus stops and stations.

"So, you do not want cars on the streets and entirely buses?" Rex asked and Jin nodded his head.

"Let there be some socialism in this. Both rich and poor will take the same buses. If they want to go somewhere fast, tell them buy a teleportation spell instead." Jin replied and some of the Foxes chuckled.

"Yeah quite true. Why bother with cars when you can get from point A to point B in a jiffy using teleportation spells? The only people that are suffering are those who do not have the power, mana, or even dungeon dollars to buy those spell scrolls."

"Then what shall we do with the first batch of cars? You want to dismantle them for parts?"

"What? No!" Jin shook his head.

"Last I remember, we are a dimensional instance supplier, am I right?" Jin said and Ixa could not follow what he was thinking about. The others had the same empty face on them when Jin finally surrendered, not giving them time to guess what he was about to do. He believed that their heads were all in their own bubbles on what to explain to Jin when it came to their turn.

So, he decided to reveal the answer.

"We create racing death matches within Pandapolis for the Demons, monsters, and humans to vent their steam. We will then also add Pandarens into the fray as well and we can charge rather cheaply for the Pandarens to 'own' the cars and at the same time provide jobs for Pandapolis citizens since we need mechanics, race coordinators, and all the other stuff needed for a death race. "

"So… you are saying instead of a normal race, the citizens can kill each other in this?"

"Yeah. And they had to sign our contract, so there are less people being influenced by the Church of the Afterlife. I am not talking about Pandapolis only nor the collective combination of cities. When word gets out about this, people and monsters from various cities would come in to take a look at this and possibly interested in it."

"I can attest to that. Who does not like cars? And who does not like driving speeding cars while shooting bullets and clashing metals at the same time?" Ixel remarked and the rest agreed to their fellow fox sentiments as well.

"I would not lie. This is a lot of work and I can understand where you are coming from a business perspective. If those car races can produce money in your world, I do not see why we cannot replicate such business model to this world as well. It will definitely offset the expenses incurred from the bus services."

"It is also because I want other people from the other cities in the dungeon world to like our bus services and death matches. If things go well, we might be able to start taking in major construction road projects to nearby cities and later bus services as well. And at the same time, slowly infecting these citizens with the idea of convenience." Jin showed a devilish smile.

He knew it was a matter of time before those people and monsters would enjoy such convenience. It had already been portrayed out by the Demons who had been staying in Pandapolis since their forced eviction from Demopolis City pending their major reconstruction.

They adored the idea of convenience. From the use of hot water straight from their taps to the amazing lights that lit up their rooms. It might seem like a daily item in modern world life but to the Demons, it was one miracle invention to another that they could not have such technology existed without magic.

It was to a point where some felt that magic was something akin to inferior technology compared to all of those items that they had seen to create convenience in their life.

"I see, then I will make sure the Bus routes are well plotted so that every part of the city has access to them." Ixa finally accepted the idea that she had more work ahead of her.

"Oh, and do remember to do express buses," Jin said as he remembered that convenience was a way to exploit the prices too. After all, time was money and in any other world that he was in, the same concept applied…well perhaps not in the Void World.
