“Guys, it’s time to wake up.” Bu Dong said as he started knocking on everybody’s door. They might have had a late night discussing the possibilities on where to go but the toll on all the working adults might have eaten up the remaining night by sleeping through it.
Besides, it was not an everyday occurrence that Xiong Da had allowed them to stay at his place and everyone was astonished by the amount of wealth that he had. He might look like any other ordinary high flying lawyer but it seems like he had dabbled into quite a lot of investments when he was younger, especially in real estate and such. After all, he kept saying that stocks would only make someone temporarily rich, while assets were a whole different ball game.
That being said, the cultivators who stayed overnight in Xiong Da’s house did not hesitate to fully utilise his guests’ rooms. The rooms were well equipped with good quality beddings and even air purifiers that gave a calm soothing scent for them to sleep peacefully. The toilets had the most ridiculous type of shampoos and soaps that smelled not only terrific but therapeutic to use.
The odd thing was that when the Pandawans asked Xiong Da where he got all these, he said it was all from Jin’s store. Most if not all of them were looking blankly at each other and laughed, and instead asked Ruo Ying where did Xiong Da manage to procure them and she too said the same thing.
“All you had to do was to just ask. Do you remember how we are able to rent and subsequently buy a ‘room’ for preparation purposes? Xiong Da casually asked the Pandamonium App whether there were higher quality items that could be purchased and in an instant, the shop window right in front of us changed to daily essentials that had a different price tag.” Ruo Ying explained and even showed them how it was being done in real time.
The Pandamonium App responded and gave a list of the higher quality stuff which almost made the Pandawans vomit their blood. “45 Panda Gold Coins for just a box of tissue!?” Bin Yong exclaimed and Ruo Ying immediately went to her room and took out a box for them to try it out. The tissue felt like silk, and not just silk but premium silk.
“And since Xiong Da had contributed quite a lot of money to Jin, he had been buying all these necessities on a daily basis. Also, we do not even need to worry about delivery which makes restocking almost as easy as just pressing a checkout cart.” Ruo Ying said and the cultivators nodded their heads slowly. Every one of them knew how freaking efficient the delivery was to the point that it would be a lie if they said that they did not use the Pandamonium services. The food and service delivery were all top notch with the exception that it cost quite a bit. Yet, when it comes to hungry mouths and dreaded delivery times on most app platforms, the Pandamonium App would never fail to deliver.
“GUYS! WAKE UP!!!! We will be late for the opening ceremony.” Bu Dong continued to shout until he heard a large yawn coming from Xiong Da’s master bedroom.
“With our current cultivation grade, it will be just a five minute walk to Jin’s Tree Mall. What’s the rush…zzzzzzz” Xiong Da said as he opened the door with his pyjamas still on. The rest were also the same and even without speaking a word, they wholeheartedly agreed with Xiong Da’s decision to sleep a bit more. Yet Bu Dong was not satisfied with everyone’s enthusiasm.
“And it’s now what? Four hours before the start of the event. Bu Dong, get some rest and wake us up when it’s like half an hour before the opening ceremony. We would still be on time.” Xiong Da said as he was about to close his door but Bu Dong decided not to budge and even held onto his door.
“Have you guys forgotten how much time and effort was needed for the past events? And now with the hype of PandaVerse, we would be dead last in the queue if we do not reach there early.” Bu Dong argued and Xiong Da chuckled.
“That’s what the Sponsor tickets are for. Don’t worry, I have ‘donated’ enough to ensure that getting there late will still earn us the front stage spots.” Xiong Da said as he pats Bu Dong’s head and asked him as well as the rest who were standing around at their bedroom doors to return to sleep. “Money is a language that Jin speaks very well. You of all people should know that but if you are still worried, you can go ahead and help us warm the bench.” Xiong Da added before closing the door and returning back to bed.
“Yeah, Bu Dong, I know you are excited but you saw how extensive that dungeon instance map was. And did you remember how freaking crazy it was to fight for Pandapolis Defence? Everyone here had agreed to take a week’s leave because all of us are prepared to fight in the trenches side by side with each other. As of now, let us enjoy the peace of these wonderful beds that Xiong Da bestowed us. It’s really been a while since I had such a good sleep and to be disturbed like this.” Shi Zuo said before closing the door on Bu Dong which made him feel guilty.
“I guess…I am just too excited to spend time with you people.” He said to himself but Deng Long who was also at the side of the corridor chuckled. Even though he was fully dressed as pressured by Bu Dong, he knew that this young lad only wanted to spend more time with the group.
“Just give it a rest. And this time I am taking the bigger bed. You sleep on the smaller one on the ground.” Deng Long said as he wrapped his hands around Bu Dong and brought him back to the room.
