Number One Dungeon Supplier

When the Tourism Agency Officers were confronted with the potential of Hotel Pandastic and Jin's other chains of hotels, they were flabbergasted. While there were matters of Dimensional Technology and the dangers of it, Yun was convincing enough in guaranteeing them that it would not cause any issues.

"We've naturally already applied for Hotel licenses and it has been approved a week ago. Feel free to check in the database if you wish and get back to us if required." Yun offered. Despite it technically being a Dungeon Instance, Jin had made sure to acquire the certification to house people to avoid any problems. And while the Tourism Officers were a little sceptical, it was undoubtedly an opportunity for them to promote the Tree Mall even further, providing a unique point for their own campaign.

While the Tourism Board should have known and been informed about such new hotels coming out, Yun apologised on Jin's behalf. "After all, these dungeon instances are one of a kind and there was really no way you could have known unless you visited us personally or through our Pandamonium App."

And what Yun said was true.

Most of the advertising had been through word of mouth. While there was the 'Great Firewall' in place to not allow foreigners to access their products, it did not mean that Jin kept his handy app to national borders. With the rising popularity of Kiyu, they had engineered a version of the Pandamonium App outside of China, leading to the arrival of a good portion of foreigners.

While they could not enjoy the dungeon features outside of China (at least not yet), the Pandamonium App itself had quite a number of nifty features (like the message boards which automatically got translated to their respective languages, or more importantly Pandaflix with subtitles), it had managed to entice those Dungeon Instance Enthusiasts around the world.

Despite the restrictions when it came to weapons, Jin's shop had guaranteed that most of such weapons could not work unless they were in a dungeon instance. Immigration Customs Officials were nearly baffled when they found out that such weapons existed and confronted Jin's employees.

Unfortunately, they were indeed within their immigration guidelines and the System had ensured that the weapons and armour sold online followed the customer's respective guidelines too. But because of the portability and availability, most of the prices ended up tripled or quadrupled. Some were even in a so-called Panda Auction house where certain grade 2 weapons were considered a rarity.

It did not take long for people to appreciate the quality of weapons that Jin and the System were selling for the Dungeon Instances and the sales were hot enough to warrant interest by the international community to visit Jin. For example, the Fire Shamans from Germany had advertised their recommendations to their club members and through the word of mouth, a number of high school students were solely based on their recommendations to check this Dungeon Supplier out.

And with the advent of the Hotel Pandastic which gave a 20% discount to those who had bought Jin's items before, the bookings for the hotel had been selling like hotcakes. It was not precisely a well known travel location but to the Dungeon Instance enthusiasts, it had slowly become a name for itself.

Even when Jin was not looking at his shop, the effort he had placed on it previously had started to take root. He, however, had overlooked that Yun had been actively looking after it ever since Jin got too busy handling the other world issues. While she disliked taking over his responsibilities, she understood that he was busy getting those worlds up just for his shop. So, as an employee, Yun had also utilised the Demon Exorcists once under Grandma Yuan to find contacts and introduce people to the shop.

Also, an interesting tidbit on the delivery portion. Even though the Pandamonium App had been charging exorbitant shipping fees and immigration costs, only the first few weapons that went on sale had gone through the proper channels. Afterwards, the System had already analysed the immigration processes and went ahead to 'approve' the sales themselves and quality checked before sending to their customers. Thus, the usual waiting time, stock availability and shipping time was based on how much they were willing to pay for it.

If the User deemed to have taken the most luxurious option to purchase the item, the System ensured that its 'shipping time' would be cut short extremely by sending out its Pandafull Delivery agents via a portal and to their place within 2-3 working days. But assuming customers chose free shipping options, the System would purposely backlog their orders until a delivery agent was available or if an express shipping customer were within the vicinity.

In short, the power of money made the System produce faster. And one would wonder why the System always complained there was a lack of processing capabilities. This was one of the smaller details that the System had assimilated with Yun's help. (Even though Yun was part of the System, she would obviously say that this was her idea and not the System's.)

Going back to the Tourism Officers, they subsequently realised that their Boss had immediately approved their tourist advertisement for the Tree Mall mainly because of the influence of one very special man.

Kong Rong.

While his unique team of special agents had already taken the responsibility to protect the Royal Zodiac Panda Clan with its inception during the New Year, they were not meant to take care of Jin from just the physical dangers of other clans, but economically as well.

Yet, Jin and Yun had felt it was a tad unnecessary, Kong Rong would definitely give the excuse that he was doing it as a part of being a Senior Panda Executive. With the Dragon Clan influence stretching to all parts of China, it was no surprise that he was advocating the Tree Mall as part of the economic protection for the Royal Zodiac Panda Clan.

However, that did not mean he did not encounter resistance from his family or peers. The rise of the rumoured thirteenth Royal Zodiac Clan brought tensions up to an all time high as new alliances were forged behind the Dragon's back. And even though all these foreshadowed backstabs were already taken into account by Kong Rong's 'Panda Protection' Team, Kong Rong knew that Jin would still ultimately come out as the victor if he played his cards right.

Similar to the Dungeon World's newbie protection barrier, there was a time limit to everything that Kong Rong could do. If he were to base his word of protection on ancient laws, Kong Rong's grandmother said that the entirety of the Dragon Clan could only grudgingly assist the Panda Clan up to six months before they had to let go. To most clans and even the Royal Zodiacs, six months was a very short period of time.

Kong Rong understood that six months was a luxury that even the Dragon Clan might not be able to afford with the current volatile situation of a budding new Royal Zodiac approved by the Godly Representative. Yet to Jin, each extra waking day counted until the end of his protection and he was already doing his best to do whatever he needed to not just protect himself, but to guarantee his shop would rise to become the number one dungeon supplier shop!
