Bu Dong was yawning as he just came out from the Super Robot Wars merchandise store. He and Deng Long just finished one of the extra missions which the Robot Wars had been giving out to occupy the players’ time as they waited for the next patch.
There were hints of a new story within those extra missions but there was nothing short of revealing the next portion of stories within the extra missions but it was challenging mainly because those missions gave Panda Coins for free which was the main pushing factor for Super Robot War players to continue playing. It was also done in order to expand the player base despite it being a niche genre dedicated to people who liked Mecha.
But as Deng Long and Bu Dong were talking about their numerous choices on what to eat for dinner, there was an emergency alert popping out at the top of the store instance. Suddenly, everyone within the store instance had their phones alerting them of the imminent event.
“Warning! Warning! A new Wide Active Response Event (WARE) has been activated! A brand new monster of an unknown origin had been created by Dungeon Supplier and it had broken out the confines of its experimentation testing grounds! In order to contain the threat, Jin had no choice but to reroute it to the store instance as a temporary holding ground as he repairs the dome that held it. Join forces with your fellow Pandarens and defeat the monster so that the monster can be put back in place!!” The quick notification was sent to everyone including those currently in dungeons.
There was a pause option where the players could resume where they were and a small amount of coins were given compensation if they decided to participate in this new WARE event.
“Wow, that’s rare for Jin to suddenly throw us a WARE event. I thought this was used only in the raids.” Deng Long said as he instantly pressed the accept button, allowing him to use his weapons and armour within the store instance, which had always been regarded as a safe zone.
“Maybe he wants to spice things up? After all, it had been rather quiet for the past few weeks and I can only assume he was busy working the festival of his own. If once in a while there are these wide active response events, we can earn some coins or exclusive merchandise.” Bu Dong commented.
“Heh, not just that bro. Look at this.” Deng Long flashed his phone towards Bu Dong’s direction and they both noticed how some shops were having fire sales to accommodate this new WARE event. “He is making those casuals to gear up with these time limited sales.”
“Hmm, with the exception of certain inscriptions, most are rather useless to us.” Bu Dong nodded, acknowledging that it was mainly for the new Pandarens who had joined Jin’s dungeon as their new daily routine. “Welp, at least there are coins to be earnt. Not everyone is like Xiong Da who can throw money however they like.”
“Hah! Please, most of the Pandawans know that YOU are the second Xiong Da in the making. I heard from your friend Yue Han that you had been dabbling in some investments? And they are earning you a hefty sum of profit?” Deng Long said as he and Bu Dong started to go near the centre of the large magical circle.
“It’s Dad’s money. I only profit some of the dividends.” Bu Dong knows that outright denial would be seen as a terrible excuse. And as they reached near the edge of the magical circle, it suddenly started to glow and everyone who had decided to participate felt the very same feeling of fear, especially those who had done the Demopolis Raids. Yet, almost more than half the participants were determined to see this through especially when there was no need for payment, just participate and earn Panda Coins. It was a free event for those who were in the current store instance.
As for those who did not wish to join, they had already been teleported to a new store instance exclusively for the time duration of the Wide Area Response Event. But Jin would be heartened to know that almost 90% of the Pandarens had decided to participate in this impromptu event.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the magical circle, the orb of gravity began pulling Farasha furious to Jin’s store. Peppers did not stop supplying mana into the gravity orb and poured additional magical power into it so that Farasha could be sucked into it while Milk did not stop her flurry of attacks. In the meantime, the Void Monster had no idea that it was going to be isolated into a trap as it merely blocked the blows and retaliated when necessary.
His connection to the void was growing stronger every second and all he needed was to buy some time before it unleashed its full power and despair to his current opponents. But little did he know that a moment of distraction was all that was needed for Peppers to fully pull him through the magical portal created by Jin and Farasha had been teleported into another dimensional instance.
“Bah! These dimensional manipulators think that they can stop my connection of the void with another set of borders and more reinforcements. With each passing second, my powers will subsequently return to me and I shall allow all of you to taste and feel the succulent beauty of emptiness.” Farasha thought to himself as he spread his wings to show the insignificant beings who had crowded in front of him.
It was an ugly sight. The butterfly wings on the crocodile monster were nothing short of an abomination and many believed this ginormous creation was Jin’s. And as usual, they were once again given one hell of an event with Jin creating more hype for his dungeon supplier store via this technique.
He could have teleported it into a secured instance and let his monsters do the fighting but Jin believed he could make the best of the situation since right now, the only people who knows about this monster were a few scared living Banned Emperor terrorists and his lackeys.
So, why not make it his own event and subsequently capture that void butterfly for his own use?
