Number One Dungeon Supplier

"So, what is this special challenge about?" Xiong Da asked, and Jin smiled as he instructed them to take a look at their Pandamonium App.

"An upcoming instance, but right now it's in an experimental state. Something similar to the Orc Invasion only with another type of monster. You know the usual stuff. Whoever got the highest number of kills wins the challenge." Jin answered before he told the two of them to gear up. Shi Zuo and Ruo Ying questioned if they were allowed to join in the fun as well.

"Oh, you think this will be fun? Sure go right ahead." Jin smile turned into a smirk which made them slightly suspicious of the dungeon supplier. Still, he had agreed and sent them the invitation to the dungeon.

At this point, Yang Ling looked Jin in the eyes and pouted cutely.

Jin ultimately heaved out a sigh. "Fine...I will let you in as well but not your guards. It may not be fully balanced, so I do not want too many people to be in it in case of problems. You can go inside and take a look. Whether you wish to fight, is entirely up to you."

Yang Ling agreed and asked the guards to take a break at the Restaurant Train instance by sending a 500 Yuan red packet to each of their MeChat accounts per guard. "Enjoy yourselves, you guys worked hard enough."

"But Miss, Clan Leader Hu ordered us not to leave you at any cost. We will get in trouble if you-" The guard got interrupted by Yang Ling's impeccable stare and they understood that she was doing it of her own volition.

"Very good. Now please, enjoy what this place has to offer. You might even try to increase your cultivation while waiting for me." Yang Ling expression turned friendly again. Defeated, they nodded their heads in return.

"Shall we?" Yang Ling requested Jin to push her into Weapons Store Instance in order to access one of the workshops in there. He was surprised that Yang Ling had secretly been visiting his store in disguise with her Triad Bodyguard, Ku Wai. The only reason why Ku Wai had not followed her this time around was because she had for 'official business' to Jin's opening ceremony.

Hence, she needed to keep the act of being crippled.

Once the System pulled her personalised workshop instance into reality, he realised that she had stored all her combat gear here. There was even a highly expensive 3D printer along with a laptop in the workshop in case she needed a quick fix.

"Seriously quite a handy feature you have. Can't say I've seen many stores with, especially at your low rates...in fact the Royal Dungeon Supplier store I used to frequent charges exorbitant prices to rent a space there."

"I really hope that you can expand or at least place a portal in our Zodiac Tiger Headquarters which I am sure the people there would love it. That will show that arrogant Royal Dungeon Supplier that he is not the only freaking supplier that the Tigers can rely on." Yang Ling complained with spite in her tone, and Jin bitterly laughed in reply.

"I will see what Ke Loong and I can do." Jin went forward to assist Yang Ling and realised she was able to walk a little on her own. "This is ...a great improvement!" Jin was astonished, and Yang Ling winked at him.

"Of course! I worked hard, you know." Yang Ling said proudly but eventually revealed that along with her extended use of the Gearbox, she had been eating rather often at Jin's store (in disguise). The Tiger Princess speculated that the abundant spiritual power from the food along with her rehabilitation aided in her speedy and yet miraculous recovery.

"I've a long way ahead of me, but at least I can stand and also walk a little," Yang Ling said as she unveiled a series of suitcases from her storage ring. Seeing his guest struggled a bit on her own, Jin assisted her with the donning of her customised Gearbox.

"Oh, did I ever thank you for making it extremely easy to fit in? If I am in a pinch, all I need is some time to put it on, and I can enter into combat immediately. Had been practising on that diligently in case of emergencies and my timing is decent now. Honestly, it's so good that we adapted it to all other models." Yang Ling said as she put on the Gearbox.

"Yea, I did design it with that in mind, I don't want to imagine how helpless you might be if you are stuck in a serious predicament," Jin stated as a matter of fact instead of a matter of concern for her.

Like donning an armour on in medieval times, he knew that speed was of the essence if she was ever in serious danger again. However, to Yang Ling, she thought otherwise and smiled widely with a bit of embarrassment on her face. (Though Jin did not see it when she expressed it.)

Once she was outfitted with the customised gearbox suit, Yang Ling began putting small plates of flexible armour which she kept in her workshop. The Tiger Princess had already modified the Gearbox to suit them, and it was kind of like a plug and play. Jin noticed it was quite an ingenious idea and kept that in mind should he wish to produce more of those gearbox suits.

"Do not worry, System has already input all the data, including the items she had not chosen to use this time into the System database. System will prompt User should he wish to reproduce gearbox suits for personal use or for his monsters." The System informed him within his thoughts, and he could only imagine what kind of other inventions Yang Ling's research team had created as she stuffed several more items in a separate storage ring before telling Jin that she was ready for battle.

When they returned back to the store instance, Xiong Da was donning his clothes with his new defensive inscription as part of his recently earned privilege rights. While the System had prevented him from abusing his special status to gift their assortment to others, the lawyer had all the money in the world to purchase some new gear for Ruo Ying without batting his eye.

Knowing that it was a special challenge (with the plushie at stake), Luo Bo did not hesitate in buying the latest items that were offered within the Weapons and Armour store instances, especially since there was the Day One mega discount in effect.

The only one who was crying was Shi Zuo's wallet, but he figured with Christmas around the corner, he convinced himself that it was 'okay' to be spending a fair bit of money and decided to splurge on his new armoured clothes set. (Little did he knew that this was merely the beginning of the couple's spending fest.)

With all of them ready for the special challenge, Jin looked at them and brought them to the conference room instance to brief them on the new 'experimental instance'.
