“Good Morning everyone. The official PandaVerse Event is about to start in half an hour. Please get into the trains as soon as possible if you do not wish to miss the official opening of the PandaVerse event.” Jin spoke through the public announcement system and people’s wristbands started to flash with a blinking light.
When the Pandarens pressed on the blinking light, it revealed to them the train carriage and seat that they were assigned to, as well as the approximate time that their train would arrive at the platforms.
“Please take a look at your wristbands and do not miss the trains! If you do, you might miss the first part of the official event. I repeat, do not miss the trains!” Jin said and even sent an app wide announcement to look at their wrist bands for the information needed.
“Lol. We do not need to worry about a single thing.” Bin Yong said as he looked at his wristband and saw that the train was already waiting at the platform for them. It was plated almost entirely in gold.
“Let me buy something real quick!” Jia Le suddenly realised she had not bought sufficient amounts of water even though her storage ring was chock full of potions. This was because they knew that the entire group of Pandawans would be staying in the dungeon instance for quite some time. Not many know this but the longer they stay and assist in the raid, the more points they get to rack.
It happened during the Goblin World Defensive Raids as well as the Pandapolis Defense. Xiong Da had noticed a pattern and tested the theory out after the Goblin World’s raid and it seemed to be holding some truth. Now that this was not just a defensive raid but a major offensive, the Pandawans are already carrying several high level storage rings to make sure that they have more than enough supplies to last through the Earth week. (After all, they all knew how much time differed from the real world and the dungeon instance.)
And even if they predicted wrongly, those rations and supplies could be used for future events, considering Jin had been quite active throwing out new seasonal stuff every now and then. (Also, they now get to buy everything for ‘free’ with the sponsor tickets courtesy of Xiong Da so being greedy now will still be a good option regardless of the consequences.
“Let’s get on board already!” Bu Dong shouted as he was looking forward to seeing what Jin had for the event. And as the entire group entered the gold plated train, they realised that they were going to be spoiled by the luxury that was waiting right in front of them when they entered the train.
They were not sure what the seats were made of, but they were certain that once they sat on it, it felt the same way how a Dungeons and Pandas plushie could feel. Xiong Da immediately recognised the feeling and straight away messaged Jin whether he could buy this furniture right away.
“Nope, they are not for sale,” Jin replied quickly and Xiong Da was already in a man child mode pouting as he slid down the seat that was as wide as a cushion sofa and soft like the beds that cost thousands.
“Xiong Da. Stopping like a child in front of the others.” Ruo Ying sternly said to Xiong Da even though everyone knows that he could act this way only in front of them. And as they started to get comfy in their seats, the train made an announcement they were going to depart. The rest of the sponsors started to hop onto the train and somehow the Pandawans noticed that the group that walked past them had an aura that was different from the rest.
“They looked a little familiar.” Xiong Da said as he caught a glimpse of them chatting away although a few were grumbling about how they were annoyed they had to take some time off just for this, Yet, the lawyer was not able to pinpoint who they were despite his excellent memory. However, one thing was for sure. The chi aura they had was not ordinary and they were definitely several times stronger than their Pandawan group.
Just when he thought that when the Pandawan group that he had, having an average of Grade 9s and 10 in their ranks was already an achievement, he sighed to accept the fact that there will always be a mountain higher than the one you were standing on. “Guess, Jin finally started to climb up the ranks and fame for being a dungeon supplier since high grade cultivators were also participating in the raids.”
The train finally started moving and the Pandawan group was curious where it would be leading since they knew that further down the island were mainly service instances like the theme park, the zoo etc. But instead, the train was heading to the seaport. All of them thought there was an underwater tunnel that they would be going through.
But no.
The train was moving towards the sky as rail tracks were being magically constructed which led the entire train to fly. As if to make things even more fantastical, the Pandawans could see that their train was not the only one that was riding on air as the other trains from other islands were doing the very same thing.
It was a sight to behold to see lines of trains moving in the same direction and everyone was excitedly taking pictures of such a phenomenon. And during this time, Jin had decided to show them the kind of monsters that they would be working with by dispatching Demon City’s unique fleet of dragons, the Dragon Devils.
And riding those Dragon Devils were not just the Dragonlites but the various types of monsters that Jin had collected over the months as they rode to showcase themselves to the Pandarens, an amazing coalition of allies that would be their partners for the week to come. Xiong Da and the rest of the Pandawans also recognised a few old pals that they had worked with in the past raids and they were delighted to know they were in this fight too.
At the same time, the Dragon Devils also displayed a quick show of force by doing some air riding feats to entertain the flying trains that were moving towards the location as designated by Jin and the System.
But for now, everyone was just awestruck by the beautiful show performed by the Dragon Devils.
