"To the left!" Bin Yong said through the intercom for the current squad he was commanding. Unlike the others who had prepped their arsenal of weapons to the brim in their storage ring, Bin Yong decided to have a more supportive role in this current battle mainly because he knew that he was a one to one duelist compared to his pal Shi Zuo who could go crazy and face multiple enemies at once.
Those RPG canisters were part of his stash when he found out that they were on sale when they activated the safehouse's save point. However, there were more than just explosive canisters and he bought at least a couple of every variant that was on sale, hoping they would prove useful in this particular raid. Everyone knew that this was a gimmick in Jin's store to provide a variety but they could not deny the effectiveness when the situation arises. Still, the act of overconsumption was thoroughly encouraged by the NPC trader who gave major discounts.
As if the System had reversed engineered Jin's cheapskate behaviour and flipped the switch into their NPC traders, they could be rather persuasive in getting people to buy more than just what they needed. But that was not all, to make people serious about the third main objective of the Raid, which was to collect the Demon Citizen's belongings, the System had developed an in-raid currency that could only be used within the period when the raid event was active. Each belonging returned would have an amount of currency attached to it. For example, a diamond ring has the value of 10 Demon Panda Emblems. (As much as it sounded evil, it was actually an emblem of a Baby Panda biting a tiefling plushie.)
However, the System Traders had heavily emphasised not to be confused with the currency that the current Raid was giving. This particular set of emblems would automatically be exchanged to the latest set of Raid Tokens when the raid was done. (A period of two weeks would be given to the Pandarens should they wish to exchange any last minute items with the System Traders.) However, it would not be a 1 to 1 exchange and it depended on the currency market like the Panda Coins that Jin had implemented.
This was because the items that the System Traders are selling were not limited redemption items but combat items that could be replenished. The only special stuff that was in that particular session was prototype weapons which Jin had stated that they needed more data before they could release for public use. (But still, those weapons are locked and restricted in Jin's store, they could not be used in public at all.)
These kinds of weapons and tech items were stored in their weapon closets and only be allowed access when they returned for dungeon instance. In a way, one could say that Jin had rights to hold those weapons and they were deemed too dangerous for cultivators to bring it out of the store. This applied to those warclubs that Xiong Da had been brandishing as well as the guns which the Pandawans were holding. If a Pandaren forgot to return those weapons or wished to bring them out of the store, permission to beam themselves out of the store instance would be denied.
They can forcibly return those weapons with a tap in the Pandamonium App or be trapped in the store instance forever until they comply with the rules. This was something Jin had come up with recently as a way to control the weapons, not allowing them to use them out in society while at the same time continued to make fun for the dungeon players. One of the reasons was mainly because of his competitors.
It was one thing to use dungeon instance weapons which is fun and wacky but it is another issue if those fun and wacky ways to kill a monster turned out to be above military grade. Previously, Jin sold high quality low Grades weapons, catered for the new cultivators and that alone had alerted the System that counterfeits were coming out into the market. Thankfully, the Night Foxes under Kraft had managed to keep the distribution under control and brought the black market distributors to justice.
Oh, but it was not swift death but rather unlawful detainment while still being fed. Jin initially wanted to hold them until Kraft had the same idea to wash their brains from such ideas and the needless thought of revenge. However, with the advent of Kong Rong under the service of the Panda Clan, Jin merely allowed him to handle them.
All of it a perk for being a Senior Panda Executive because those distributors were surprisingly veterans in their trade and their contacts were considered a massive trove of information. It was to the point Kong Rong used some of them as double spy agents and provided them with the promise of safety not only to them but their families.
Oh but Kraft did not only take back those imitation products, he had collected all those black market weapons for the science lab to reverse engineer so that they could manufacture them for the Dungeon Raids. And thus the Emblems were used precisely for that.
Weapons not seen on the actual market and were in fact illegal for use in the real world. The cultivators had no idea that they were on a borderline of committing a major crime should they escape the shop instance with those weapons.
While Bin Yong did not have access to those weapons as of the current situation he was in, he sure had enough modern tech to make an average soldier envious.
A beetle like spy drone flew out of his storage ring and with his visor, the Beetle Cultivator had commanded it to fly ahead to check the surroundings of any intruders. It also acted as a hi tech cartographer, plotting a new digital map on the maps that Shi Zuo previously uploaded into their team's visors.
"Coast clear! Let's push forward and out of the building!" Bin Yong smiled as he looked at his Pandamonium App. The screen portrayed a little Panda carrying a bomb and the fuse was waiting to be lit with a "press and hold" button showing right at the bottom of his screen.
