Number One Dungeon Supplier

A new dungeon instance.

To some Pandarens, it was about time especially after they paid for the new subscription model. However, some of them thought that Jin would not fulfill his promise after changing the pricing since they knew that there were rising costs to the endeavours he had been taking.

But when the Dungeon Supplier had sent a high alert notification through the Pandamonium App that a new dungeon instance was available to try out, they were all relieved that Boss Jin had kept to his word.

However, some were a little unhappy that there was little to no notice when Jin brought out the raid instance. They knew that it was his own prerogative to give notice to his customers but they would have wished for some teasing of the material at hand. Meanwhile, others had thought otherwise. They think that Jin keeping the information close to his chest and releasing it when the instance was ready had been the more ideal situation.

It was mainly because as the System had stated previously, Jin had teased and promised certain instances and they had not been fulfilled at all. While it was true that the Dungeon Supplier had given something else and at times exceeded all expectations, the long term customers who saw and understood Jin's pattern found that this kind of no information and blasting them with something good was definitely a more ideal situation that would yearn for a pleasant surprise.

Thus when the Zombie Raid Instance had been announced and the customers who read the details that were accompanied with it, the customers were indeed given an eye opener to how the raids were usually done. It was common to follow a good formula and if it worked, he should have stuck with it but in Jin's eyes. He had yet to find the best formula.

It might be that the Dungeon Supplier was using this Zombie World to waste time for the customers but at the same time, he had plans for the Zombie World. Even though the discussion yielded previously from moving people from Synthesis World to the Zombie World was futile, he still believed that having a 'safe' World at his disposal would definitely be of use.

Be it for emergency evacuation or setting the stage for a bitter fight to the end, having an isolated world under his sleeve would still prove to be of use. Thus, while he used his cultivators to clear the area and enjoy the Zombie Raid as a regular consumer item, Jin was also collecting all the Zombies under his name and control.

Surely, the System was not exactly happy to have to have this many under its control, but it did not complain much mainly due to the fact that these zombies do not expend as many resources as a regular beast, monster, or human. And the fact that they had some limited intelligence after an extended period of exposure with Half Ghoul Lord Derek, they would be useful for menial work which the System as almighty as it was, still have issues covering that.

So, the current Zombies were already working in factories in Pandapolis alongside the Demopolis Citizens as well as the immigrants who decided to make Pandapolis their home. The extreme no discrimination rule had been rather effective and there was no prejudice against the Zombies or the other monsters as long as they had done their tasks and met the quota for the day.

Hence, the Zombie World Raid was akin to accomplishing multiple objectives all at once. But more importantly, it was to provide a platform by Jin for the more casual players. As much as he liked the concept of the Dark Days Dungeon Series, not every single cultivator would like to challenge themselves. By having the Zombie World Raid, it can cater to minors to the elders who just want to have some fun rather than be always in a sticky situation such as those who had participated in the Dark Days Dungeon Series.

That was also why the Dungeon Supplier had looked into supplying work for the adventurers and citizens of the Goblin World when he was attempting to rebuild the entire damn thing to the best of his ability. Their capabilities had been deemed to be sufficient to aid the cultivators in to fight against the zombies.

However, when the announcement came for Zombie World Raid Instance, some of the long term customers were a little confused by it. This was mainly because the Pandarens were unsure whether this new instance was connected to the Great Wall of China Zombie Instance. 

That was when Jin had indicated in the forums that the Great Wall of China Zombie was an exaggerated form of the Zombie attack as well as an introduction to the Zombie World Raid Instance. "As a matter of fact, the Great Wall of China that you had seen in that raid was just a portion of what can be seen in the Zombie World Raid Instance," Jin explained that the entire Zombie World Raid Instance was based on real world landmarks with a slight variation in case some idiot decides to suit him for copying.

When questioned if the exaggerated form was truly exaggerated or whether the Pandarens could experience something like that in the Zombie World Raid Instance, all Jin gave as a reply was just a ;) emoji. 

To some Pandarens, they thought that Jin was teasing them but the rest who were veterans in Jin's dungeon instances knew that it could happen if they were not careful and when dissecting his reply, they could only infer that there might be worse forms of zombie attacks as in comparison to what they had experienced in the Great Wall of China Instance. 

Meanwhile, some other people joked that Jin was practically allowing the Chinese people to travel around the world without any cost at all, if what he said was true and that the Zombie World Instance was a direct and yet variant copy of the world they were staying in.

In addition, dungeon instance reviewers believed that if this instance were to be true, it might possibly be one of the first few (or potentially the very first ) large scale dungeon instances that the Dungeon Suppliers in the world had seen as what Jin had claimed was that this is a replication of the entire world.

Some of the online commentators could not believe it while other commentators who had tried Jin's dungeon instances trusted that he did not give false information at all as they had seen how Jin had expanded again and again, pushing the boundaries of the Dungeon instances over the past year or two.

There were even a few hardcore believers of Dungeons and Pandas who claimed that the assumed departure of Jin for enlightenment purposes was meant to create such a crazy Raid Instance like this. It was to the point that some even thought that it was inappropriate to call it a Raid Instance and rather, it should be named as a World Instance instead. 

But semantics aside, the moment Jin had opened the Raid Instance via his Subway Train Station Store instance, the queue for it had become phenomenal. And yet, Jin did not do anything else but simply announce that it was as it is.

The truth came when the cultivators were assigned to different exitways and a brief description of the exit had been given to them. A partial portion of the names of the towns and cities that existed in the real world were used and the Pandarens were expected to see something similar the moment they stepped out. Of course, the train subway exit aside, when the Pandarens saw the surroundings, the team could match street to street via the internet map that they had if they could guess correctly the town's name before they exited the subway exit.

Some of the buildings were also the same just that they were deserted and filled with other zombies. The first group that came out of the subway station situated themselves in the same place as the Mechanoids and when they attempted to match the possible information they had based on the partial names of the signboard beside the subway station exit, they were able to get a hit on the internet. 

And that first group was none other than the privileged Pandawans as Jin had given Xiong Da a heads up on when the dungeon instance would be published for the public. It was a sort of minor compensation for the amount of time wasted to assist him with the issues with the Ministry of Land. 

Thus, Xiong Da based on that information had taken leave in advance as well as informed the rest of the Pandawans in the event they could also take the leave to play. However, most had stated that they could not do so mainly because of the holiday crunch that their companies had experienced. 

Hence, the only few who could make it for Xiong Da were Bu Dong and his pal Yue Han. The Pandawans could have joined other Pandarens as well but since Jin had given Xiong Da a few vouchers to test out the NPC Adventurer System, they decided to bolster their numbers with those instead.

But when reviewing the adventurers, Xiong Da was not satisfied with the current selection and asked Jin if he was able to give a more advanced team of adventurers instead and he was willing to put in the money. This was because the purpose of him wanting to play with them was to have an elite group.

"In short, I want to have a group that could coordinate with me and the other Pandawans easily. Money is not an issue since I am paying you back the money you paid me." Xiong Da teased and Jin rolled his eyes but knew what he had in mind.

He knew that he had 'employees' who could serve as elite mercenaries rather than those adventurers.

"It will cost ya," Jin replied and Xiong Da gave two thumbs up to show that he was all ready to pay up.
