“That’s the last one! Let’s hope that the Pandarens would be able to stop it from escaping!” Panda Cub One said as the live stream was seeing numerous cultivators trying to kill the very last Demon Rat. Everyone was already preparing for the final countdown, wondering what Jin would reveal when the Raid Instance was finally completed.
This was the first time Jin had made an explicit demand to kill all of the monsters within the raid instance to consider it as a complete clear. In previous raid instances, as long as the main battle had been done, the raid would be considered to be completed. What the cultivators and other Pandarens did not know was that behind the scenes, the cleaning up was done by Jin’s minions.
For example the Goblin World Raid Instance, goblins were paired with mercenaries hired by the System to ensure that the orcs were routed properly. But there were cases such as the Giant World Raid where they would leave almost immediately since staying would not bring any additional benefits.
The last Demon Rat was a Demon Rat Warrior who had valiantly stood his ground to fight any Pandarens that came his way. However, the Pandarens were literally a bunch of assholes from the spectators’ point of view. There was no honour in the fight since all of them rushed to kill it in hopes of getting the 1000 bonus points that had been tagged to the warrior’s life.
No matter, the Demon Rat Warrior was proving to be quite an opponent as it had not only killed several cultivators, it managed to survive the longest. That meant that the warrior itself had been gaining experience while learning how to defeat the Pandarens. If left unchecked, the Demon Rat Warrior would not just be an offspring of Cinderclaw, it would even exceed Cinderclaw’s maximum potential and be a serious threat to Jin.
However, the Demon Rat Warrior did not have the fortune to live such a long life as every cultivator it culled, one more will emerge in an attempt to kill it. It was only a matter of time before it will fall to its knees and was beheaded by the greedy cultivators. No doubt it was an ugly sight to behold and no one would honour him upon his death but the spectators, they were just happy that it was finally done.
“With this!” Jin’s voice suddenly emerges through everyone’s half mask and those who had their Pandamonium App active would see Jin’s face through a video call. “Marks the end of PandaVerse Festival!”
Fireworks were shot in the various Store Island instances to celebrate the end of the PandaVerse festival and everyone was invited once more to have the after raid party which would be scheduled in an hour’s time even though it was placed on a Sunday afternoon. (Perhaps, Jin was trying to be overly considerate and allow those who had work the next day to at least drink a little.)
All food and drinks had been priced with a fifty percent discount excluding takeaways to celebrate the end of PandaVerse Festival and a range of new merchandise had also been introduced. But the moment the cultivators realised it was limited, the rush to buy them was worse than the rush to kill the final Demon Rat Warrior.
Jin already knew the greed in people and had already cut down the amount people could purchase by limiting each customer to at most two pieces per limited sale item. No doubt, he could have created more the sale of finite supply also bring hype and the prices could be inflated so that he could recoup some losses he incurred during the raid instance as well.
Sub System User Claire was significantly elated by this sudden surge in revenue and she recommended Jin to continue to act this way if the selling patterns hold. Other than that, Jin had secretly held a flash sale to not just to his Dungeon Supplier store but to his entire Tree Mall that was selling goods and perishables.
“As long as you show your raid ticket, you would be entitled to a discount. For those who had the highest tier, certain places would offer you a complimentary item upon your purchase.” Jin announced and everyone nearly went mad. Some had forgotten or not known that the Dungeon Supplier was the landlord of the Tree Mall and he had directly intervened to ensure that not just his Dungeon Supplier store was earning money but his Tree Mall in general as well.
But they did not realise that this collaboration would inadvertently increase his profit as well since a majority of those retail stores had used the Dungeon Supplier store as their main supplier of goods as well. They had no idea how Jin was able to procure perishables but the fact that it existed and it was at a good price while of a higher quality than most, made the vendors have complete trust in him considering he was the landlord.
Most lawyers and veteran store owners would have advised otherwise seeing how it felt like a deal too good to be true but the fact was, it was indeed a good deal and most of the vendors were influenced to word of mouth. Thus, Jin was getting a boost in his profits in that one day alone.
It was so good that he had gotten permission from Claire to give those non retail companies a 5% discount on their rentals just for the next three months. Jin would personally give rental rebates as long as they had paid their rentals in time and Claire felt that this was a good move to promote some ‘loyalty’ among the tenants in the long run but she was ultimately pleased.
They not only recovered the exorbitant amount they spent rushing for PandaVerse festival but gained three times the profit they had estimated.
It was a good day for Dungeons and Pandas.
