While the Dragon Devils and Jin’s other minions were stealing the show at the moment, the trains were all converging to a particular destination. Everyone who managed to catch a glimpse of the island in front of them at their seats was curious if that was the main event island that people were theorising about.
True enough, as the trains headed closer to the island, they started to circle around the island’s perimeter and systematically, all the trains began to slow down while getting into ‘positions.’
With the number of trains in the skies as seen previously, the Pandarens were worried how the huge crowd could cause a commotion within the new event island that they saw. Yet, from above the island, what they could see was just a big plain stage at the centre of it all and there were no seats. In fact, it did not seem like there were any seats arranged for this particular event, making them think that this might not be it.
Yet, because of how the island shaped like the meteor which had crashed right smack on the island, there were edges which the Pandarens believed they could stand or even seat to see the stage. However, there was an announcement that was being played on every train, reinforcing the fact not to get off it. And in a few moments, the seats within all the trains started to move in one particular direction. Even the ceiling of the train was removed and some of the seats were elevated, making the Pandarens realise that the trains they were on are their assigned seats for this particular event.
The trains, like clockwork, started to fall into their assigned positions around the island centre stage and everyone was marvelled at how the trains positioned themselves such that everyone had a clear (not necessarily good due to the number of people present) view of the centre stage. It was like a stadium that had been surrounded by rows of snake like trains around them.
Once all the trains had parked at their allocated slots, a loud horn sound was blown, making everyone’s head turn to the side as they could see an enormous whale floating towards the event island as well. As the whale went closer, the Pandarens could only then realise the scale of the flying whale. But on top of it was none other than Jin, who jumped down to the centre stage, welcoming everyone who was present for this particular portion. (People were still pouring into the Store Islands so this was considered the first wave of participants that would be going into the Great Demon Rat War first.)
There was no broadcast of the current event that was taking place as compared to the previous times as Jin wants the people who took their time to join this event, queuing for the event to have their efforts recognised.
The only people who were allowed to view this were authorised reporters and streamers that Kiyu had sought after. However, they were not allowed to show any of this until this segment of the event had concluded. In short, there were no live viewings and only the recorded part.
Some of the reporters who took part were grumpy at how strict the information control was but Kiyu assured them that it was for the overall safety and interest of the people that this did not leak out so soon.
“Welcome! Welcome everyone to our very first PandaVerse Festival showcasing the wonders of Dungeon Instances and for us to push Dungeon Instances to the very next level of innovation!” Jin said as he bow graciously to thank everyone who took the time to come for this event.
“I know everyone is all psyched up to go for the fights, especially those who had taken the time to patronise our stores and enjoy the wonderful food selection at our various Store Islands. So I will try to make this as short as possible.” Jin said and the crowd clapped loudly.
“As you know this is a very special event for me. It showed how the store had grown and nurtured such budding cultivators in our midst. Not only that, you people have taken this store as your new favourite place to hang out, make friends and create wonderful memories. It is both a joy and pleasure that Dungeons and Pandas could make such a thing happen. For those who are new, thank you for coming and I will make sure that you will feel the same as the rest of my loyal customers who supported me for the past months.”
“To be honest, this event was initially a slap in the face to the Dungeon Suppliers Symposium for criticising me but in lieu of the recent incidents in China, this event had become much more. In my opinion, we need to have the ability to take care of ourselves in order to protect our loved ones as well as the sovereignty of our country and that is why I had endeavoured this project dearly, pushed myself to the limits to make sure that this very first PandaVerse Festival will have a dungeon raid instance that is out of the world.”
“It can be considered as a world record that we would be bringing in thousands of cultivators in a dungeon raid instance simultaneously and this will show the world that Dungeons and Pandas is the number one dungeon supplier!!” Jin shouted and everyone cheered loudly, as all they had been experiencing for the past hour or so was good service and reasonable waiting time for such a scale of an event. They could not wait for the real deal to begin.
“But before we go to war, wouldn’t it be sad that PandaVerse did not have some special guests? After all, this is a Dungeon Supplier store and if there is no pinnacle to view, there might be no motivation to train and fight.” Jin said as he walked closer to one of the trains and it was ironically plated in gold.
The Pandawans thought that they might be chosen to go up the stage although Xiong Da had a nagging feeling that it was not their group but for ‘them’. The ones that he saw previously walking past him.
And he was right.
