For the past few days prior to the opening of the Cultivation Zoo Instance, Jin had no doubt tapped into the resources he possessed to promote the latest dimensional instance with much aggression. Thus, his rising virtual video tuber on the internet personally groomed by Kiyu, Bear Cub One had been used to raise awareness of the zoo.
While it might seem to be in direct competition with Shenzhen Cultivation Zoo, it was actually lifting the burden of the zoo park because of the increased population in Shenzhen and the tourists. It was to the point some of the animals were facing stress from the constant interaction with the park's visitors.
Also, with the opening of Jin's Cultivation Zoo Instance, it might finally give Shenzhen Cultivation Zoo a chance to close its parks for a major renovation. Ever since its inception in the 70s, there was not much chance for the Zoo to have significant closure because of the visitor's requests. Not to mention, the possible closure allowed those animals under the care of Shenzhen's Zoo to be sent to Jin's instance as a temporary moving measure if it proved to be beneficial for the major overhaul.
While Grandma Yuan did not explicitly say all these in the beginning, she did reveal such plans to Jin during their dinner meeting now that he is finally able to get the cultivation zoo instance open. Naturally, Jin would be glad to take on those animals as it would aid the current animals in his captivity to go up with veterans.
That's right, the Animal Kaizer is now one of the major selling points where customers would be able to see the animals fight among each other and gain knowledge. This would no doubt help Cultivation Grandmasters to refine their manuals as well as budding cultivators to learn one or two tricks from the animals even if they were from another style. Who knows? Maybe the cultivators could also achieve enlightenment upon spectating which would prove to be beneficial for them.
Other than that, Jin had requested Bear Cub One to provide an informative and yet entertaining online sneak peek preview on his Cultivation Zoo Instance which mostly included Kiyu's videography of the area as well as the animals in their own resting habitats.
And while the interest was high throughout the live stream, Jin did not forget traditional ways of advertising and that included promoting in the papers as well as influential digital news platforms. There were some costs involved but Jin felt that his mall needed that kind of promotion.
Especially now when he coincided with the opening of his Cultivation Zoo along with the new 'streets' of stores hidden in his revamped Tree Mall.
That's right, alongside the original generation of Tree Mall Owners, Jin had finally approved and opened the first level of his Tree Mall to new tenants once he settled the small and medium enterprises. He thought that the response would be low but boy was he dead wrong.
The requests flooded in within a day and many fresh entrepreneurs, as well as veteran store owners, were pitching in their proposals, hoping they could get a shot in the Tree Mall. It was then Jin realised how famous or infamous his Tree Mall was. The pleas to have their store be opened was so intense that there were physical visits looking for Jin asking for a slot. It was to the point where there was even a very old couple who personally came to the Tree Mall asking whether they could open a store despite not knowing how. They just knew they had to and as Jin did not even have an office per se, it was Si Fang who managed to aid them to meet up with Jin for a quick talk.
If not for Si Fang, Jin would have rejected them outright since he had way too many visitors coming for a slot. But upon hearing that their speciality was duck noodles, Jin had to find the delicate moment to courteously reject them since he had enough food stores in his hands.
But it was the System who denied Jin from doing so as the System quickly identified them as a remnant of the old Panda Clan. The news shook Jin for a moment and requested the couple to relax for a moment before he discussed with the System. It was only then the System said that they were able to come here because of their connection with the Royal Panda Clan.
"Unbeknown to User, old members have the tendency to return to their leader whether it's a conscious effort or not. As if there was a thread running through the members and leaders, connecting them regardless of time and space. Also, it's worthy to note that some of the current tenants the User had accepted, contained traces of the Royal Panda Clan bloodline within them. However, this particular couple happened to be the rare coincidence where two of the previous Panda Clan families came together as one."
"If you put it that way, there is no way I can reject them… But I do not know whether they are able to handle the workload, especially given the popularity of the place." Jin said.
"Regardless, User has to take care of his own clan members." The System said and Jin understood, giving the couple a slot when others could not. At that moment when they shook hands, Jin's palm lit up as did the elderly couple's, only for them to realise that they shook hands with the new Lord of the Royal Zodiac Panda Clan.
Only when that realisation hits them, Jin verbally acknowledges his clan remnants and they immediately went to their knees to pay respect to the new lord of the Panda Clan. Their hearts were filled with gratitude and delight to know that the Clan did not die out and instead in the capable hands of a young lord which they had renewed their vows.
Unknowingly, it was at that point Jin felt the responsibility of being a Royal Zodiac Panda Clan Lord for the very first time. And in some ways, he secretly created a new mission for himself where he hoped to reunite all the rest of the Panda clan remnants.
But for now, it's the opening time for both the new tenants of the Tree Mall as well as the Cultivation Zoo.
