As the discussion drifted through the time, the System informed them that they had reached the underground tunnel station where Kong Rong’s department full of support team and agents were allowed to step off.
There were some customers who noticed this particular station as something out of the unusual and wanted to get off to explore. However, the System did not allow any other customers to get off by using the penguins NPC to reinforce the orders. But just as the customers were about to complain, Jin purposely used the loudspeakers on the train and announced to the customers on the train that this particular stop was for a group of private guests waiting who had booked and paid for a special custom instance.
The customers on board did not realise they could do that and shrugged it off as a stop that they had no choice but to wonder what kind of money the people had to spend so that they could buy a private instance with Jin. Aside from that, given the sensitivity of the group’s work, the System also ensured that Kong Rong’s group were out of sight and nobody was able to take any pictures of them walking through the platforms. The customers who saw them could only see shadow silhouettes moving through the platform. (However, because of this minor impromptu excuse created by Jin stating that it was only for a private event, it later cascaded into a series of requests by the rich in the future.)
“Boss, where are we going? Those penguins kept reminding us that we have to clear our food as soon as possible. Most of us thought that we were going to drink till the night fades away.” Tai Yang, one of Kong Rong’s subordinates asked.
“To be honest with you, I have no idea as well since Boss Jin specifically told me that this is something special just for us. Just follow blindly for now.” Kong Rong pretended to be oblivious to the entire situation, hoping that his colleagues would have a good surprise.
“We have reached. I would like to ask everyone to ensure that they all have their Pandamonium Accounts created.” Yun also added that internet wifi had also been activated for those who had not created any. “Without the accounts, you would not be able to have full functionality as well as experience of this current event which was catered just for you all.”
“Yeah, guys. Please listen to her. Your data is safe with us, Sea Mesh.” Ke Loong who was in the crowd reiterated since some of them were worried if their personal data could be compromised. Among them, there were some individuals who handled sensitive data on a regular basis and had decided to use a guest account upon logging into Jin’s dungeon instance. It was a new feature which Jin had implemented to cater to people who merely wanted to have a quick look at the shop without providing any details while also reducing the hassle of entering into their shop instance.
Naturally, the System had other ways to identify these guests without them registering properly but the techniques and secrets were kept a mystery even to Jin. ‘The less he knows, the better it will be.’ The System once answered to Lynn with regards to the implementation of this particular guest ID system.
Once everyone had reluctantly downloaded and created a new Pandamonium Account within the application, Yun finally opened the doors showing them a hall filled with rows of massage chairs. Or that was what they thought. Upon closer inspection, they noticed that there was a headset on top of a side cabinet beside each chair.
“You guys can freely choose where you wish to sit and it does not matter at all.” Jin said while he stood at the centre and a console appeared in front of him. He immediately typed furiously on the console as if to activate certain parameters before finally blabbering out the reveal for this particular place once everyone was seated. “Welcome to the prototype -well, more like beta testing of the Virtual Reality Instance.” Jin immediately pressed a button and the chairs they were on began to start shifting away from their position.
The rows of ‘massage’ chairs were eventually rearranged in such a way that Jin was the centrepiece in the hall while the rest encircled around him. And because of the number of people within the hall, a portion of the floor had also been raised so that everyone could see Jin at the very centre.
Ke Loong who was supposed to be a creepy onlooker had decided to join in the fun since he was excited about what Jin had in mind with regards to the improvements he made within the Virtual Reality Instance. The crowd within the hall was already talking among each other, all of them could not believe they would be the first batch of people trying out the rumoured Virtual Reality Instance.
“Yeap, some of you might have seen the itinerary in the Symposium, seeing how there was a section where I would be presenting the future of Dungeon Suppliers by creating an immersive Virtual Reality with the aid of Dimensional Instance. In actual fact, I had already prepared this as a huge surprise for the Symposium rather than just talking about the possibilities. But since the Symposium had kicked me out of it, it’s their loss and a big win for me with all that media scrutinising us.” Jin commented as he booted up the System’s server for the Virtual Reality Instance.
“Remember, this is still in beta testing and if you found any possible bugs, do send a report when you enter. But first! How to enter.” Jin quickly pulled out a digital poster and broadcast it at the centre of the hall showing the group how easy it was to enter it.
“Put on the Virtual Reality headset and when it synchronises with you, indicating to you they are ready, just say Okay or Dive In.” Jin explained. And with that, the entire group within the Hall instantly entered Virtual Reality with their bodies in this physical plane while their souls and mind had been transferred into the System’s server.
