As more of the Store Islands came up on the map, those islands were moving in a particular direction even though the instance that they were in was just one big open ocean. Everyone in those Store Islands was currently restricted from moving between Islands but to most of them, it was not a concern as the Pandarens were frantic in their purchases.
Even though each and every one of them could use an on-site service menu, everyone knew that buying from the Supplies store had the most discounts available. Jin predicted previously that people would swarm the store and had already expanded the store by having peddlers and street vendors selling the very same thing as well.
He hoped that it would help ease the crowd at the supplies store but he did not expect certain customers to buy the entire stock from the vendors as if hogging the supplies that were meant for everyone. It discouraged a few of the Pandarens as they suspected that such customers would wish to quietly trade for those supplies for a few extra Panda coins.
But Jin would be the one winning at the very end as he would pop extra street peddlers NPC and sell customers what they need. After all, he had prepared for the Great Demon Rat War for a very long time, and his Pandapolis had been working all day and night to produce these items. The Demon Citizens from Demopolis had already started to get used to their new lifestyle in Pandapolis and there was a meaning to working hard. The only ones who were disgruntled by the new way of life were the useless nobles who had been sent to do such menial work as well while those who were educated and willing to make an effort were able to be managers. While the other Demon Nobles that had more military experience had been dispatched to Demopolis to work on training new recruits after they passed Kraft’s regime.
So to those customers who think that they could be scalpers would be sorely disappointed by Jin’s ample preparation and to make things worse for them, each time a trade would happen, the System had prepared a small advertising box at the side of the trade. It would show the official prices of the items that were being traded and their availability via the on-site service menu. (Not to mention, there might be Panda Coins rebates or surprise gifts!) With the exception of weapons and armours that were being traded, Jin hoped that this would deter non suspecting naive buyers from those scalpers.
Other than that, some of the customers were going to the Restaurant Trains to have their stomachs filled as well as getting the food buffs that Lynn and her other accomplished chefs were famous for. Unlike the store owners who recently started to appreciate Pandafull services, Lynn already had such incredible storage from the Sub System since day 1. There was no need to worry about food shortages considering that the System had consistently updated the numbers of cultivators that were going to join the PandaVerse festival. This gave Lynn and her chefs ample time to create food and store them until the time was right for the customers to take it in.
But despite the ample amount of food, Lynn was still personally cooking for a few select customers. Despite the amazing spatial technology, there was still a 4-5% loss of chi energy when they took it in and out from the storage, especially when it was not served to the customers directly. So, the best food available was still getting it fresh and piping hot from Lynn herself. And the only few who have such a luxurious opportunity would be those who had the Sponsor tickets. In fact, the highest donated group would have the opportunity to do so first.
Most of the Pandarens were not aware of this but like those people who were waiting in line with their Sponsor tickets purchased, Pandafull Delivery had already quietly sent their representatives to get in contact with such people. “See, I told you so. There is nothing to worry about.” Xiong Da gleed at Bu Dong who was so anxious the night before. As they followed the Pandafull Delivery representatives. The group realised that they were being escorted to the second level of the Tree Mall which it was mostly restricted to those business companies that were working in the area.
Xiong Da and the others then realised there was indeed a separate way to jump into Dungeons and Pandas as the Pandafull representatives who were first in plainclothes immediately changed into a butler suit with a snap of a finger. All of them knew that they were using the cosmetic inscription charms and that was when the service of the sponsors began.
The room instance they were teleported into felt like a VVIP lounge room where other Pandarens with sponsor tickets were mingling. They could either have a chat, drink or do some work before going into Dungeons and Pandas but Xiong Da and the gang decided to enter first, only to find out that the sponsor ticket holders themselves have an exclusive Store Island just for them.
And without a doubt, Lynn was already in the Restaurant Train preparing the day’s menu just for these sponsors who had paid an exorbitant amount just to join the PandaVerse. “Oh Boss Jin, I really like how you know how to pamper the rich.” Xiong Da said as he eyed all the shops and they had servants outside their stores ready to escort them inside so they could purchase what they needed. In addition, Xiong Da and his group once again had the privilege of not needing to pay for any of those supplies or items that they buy because of the additional ‘donations’ that they had purchased beforehand upon buying the sponsor tickets.
But for now, the rest of the group wandered around the Sponsor Store Island like little kids as they see if they could grab items that would be useful for the upcoming fight.
