Se Lang, Yue Wen and Shi Hui came down in time for the first clear ceremony and the applause they received from around the store was immensely gratifying.
"I am starting a new tradition. For any first clears, I will personally reward the participants with a small complimentary gift." Jin proceeded to give each of them a specially made medal. Xue Ping was the first to receive it and she loved the design of the medal. It was similar to love at first sight, except with a medal… It was a gold plated medal with a Panda wearing a bandit mask on it. The panda was carrying a bag of cash, which was slung over its shoulder. Behind the medal was her name and her achievement: "Insane Damage Dealer".
Subsequently, the whole team checked each other's medals to see if there was any difference between the titles and some of them, they discovered, were downright ridiculous. Deng Long received the "Anything Goes" achievement while Lee An had "Indecisive Nerd" behind his medal. Yue Wen got "Not Fat, Just Fab." and Jing Ru giggled at her "Infamously Tactical."
"Why did I get the achievement Pure Unlucky? Boss Jin, it feels like you are insulting me." Se Lang cried bitterly but everyone laughed at Se Lang's poor luck. Shi Hui had obtained the achievement "Selfless Little Sister" and Jia Ying got "Don't Mess with Me", which actually made her smile secretly in her heart.
"How did you create and inscribe the medals so quickly?" Yue Wen was curious but Jin's reply was simple.
"Trade Secret."
"Next, the reward from this dungeon is one gold panda medal for the survivors, and three silver medals for the fallen in recognition of their effort. I believe you should all have received them by now." Jin said and walked towards Xue Ping. "If memory serves me well, then I believe you found yourself a metal casing?"
"Yes, I did." Xue Ping had totally forgotten about that and took it out from her storage ring. Jin took it from her and placed his phone against it. Like a street magician, Jin turned the old looking metal casing into a suitcase. He then turned the suitcase towards them and opened it.
In the suitcase, the group found a few vouchers. "This is a rare loot drop which you have incidentally found," Jin replied. This caused a huge uproar in the entire store.
"What?! Loot Drop? Are you kidding? Someone actually found some loot in Boss Jin's dungeons?" A male customer exclaimed.
"This is amazing since we finally get to see what Boss Jin's loot drops look like." Mr Know it All was curious about this particular rare drop.
Deng Long picked it up and read the voucher. "The Icesteel of the Wyrm. It says to redeem it at the Panda Weaponry store. There's a total of eight vouchers here."
"It's a loot drop from one of the monsters, the icewyrm ant. This will allow you to forge a weapon of your choice using that particular voucher in the Panda Weaponry. The Icesteel of the Wyrm has the ability of ice, following its namesake. Usually, you would need an inscription for ice attacks but with this material, you are able to cause ice elemental damage once in a while without inscriptions." Jin knew what he was talking about because he had seen and implemented the loot drops when he was in the dungeon maker instance. He understood that sooner or later people would get a loot drop, despite such a low probability.
Upon realising the value of the voucher, everyone in the store launched into a heated discussion and went crazy, creating a number of theories. Right now, they were discussing that since the icewyrm ant could already drop such precious loot, it was hard to imagine what the boss monsters could drop. For example, they might get the werefire element in their weapons if Grey dropped the loot or maybe the black armourskin ability for their armour from gold. The amount of money they were paying would then be considered peanuts when they compare it to these fantastic loots.
"Thank you, Boss Jin!" The whole team of cultivators could not wait and decided to proceed to the Panda Weaponry immediately to exchange the vouchers.
"Alright people, the ceremony is over. Continue with your dungeons!" Jin clapped his hands together and asked everyone to return to their stations.
When the group of eight cultivators entered the panda Weaponry, they saw the weaponry counter being handled by a red panda with a ribbon on her tail.
Behind the counter was a messy scene of a trio of bulky muscular black bears working near a furnace. It was a fairly standard scene of blacksmithing work where one held onto the metal while the other two took turns to hammer the heated metal.
However, the coordination of the bears was something to be in awe at. Each hammer stroke delivered upon the metal was perfectly followed by the next, while the bear holding onto the metal rotated it with such speed, it required a trained eye to see the whole process properly.
"We would like to exchange the vouchers!" Yue Wen, who was holding onto the vouchers, told the red panda over the counter.
"Welcome Back, Miss Yue Wen, Are you sure you want to use these limited rare vouchers?" the Red Panda sniffed at the vouchers that Yue Wen placed before she used her tiny paws to inspect the vouchers. Yue Wen had been to all three underground stores and was rather familiar with the workings of the stores. That was why she had volunteered to hold onto the vouchers for the team.
"Yes, please. We would like to redeem all of the vouchers." Yue Wen replied with a nod of her head.
"Personal weapons?" The Red Panda took a small chop with her paws and stamped 'REDEEMED" onto all the vouchers. The Venus Four loved the red pandas but they resisted their urge to cuddle them when they were working.
"Yes, we do not want a standardised weapon. I told them about the procedures briefly." Yue Wen then beckoned everyone to take out their existing weapons and place it on the counter. When ordering a new weapon, customers could use existing weapons to upgrade their weapons so that their specifications would remain. Alternatively, they could buy an entirely new weapon with certain standard specifications.
"Sword Crane, War Fan, Air Rifle, Spear, Inscribed Scythe, Dual Batons, Knuckle Knives and a Power Fist. Am I correct?" The Red Panda ran on all fours along the long counter table to check the team's weapons. Everyone nodded and accepted that those were the type of weapons they wished to upgrade.
"Alright, since this is a voucher redemption to upgrade your weapon, the payment for the upgrade will be subsided heavily by the store. The total payment for all eight weapons will come to 8 silver panda medals." Yue Wen acknowledged the red panda's pricing and offered to pay the medals first before the rest of her team would pay her back. A usual upgrade would cost about 5 silver panda medals. The red panda used her paw on a digital tablet and a receipt appeared on the other side of the cash register.
"Please stand by as our master smiths create the items for you." The Red Panda pressed another button and the conveyor belt on the long counter moved.
The three black bears suddenly stopped working on the item that they were creating and instead began gathering all eight weapons. One of the bears brought out an enormous icy blue block of crystal and with a decisive hammer blow, broke it into eight large pieces. After which, all three bears hugged each other and suddenly merged into a giant looking bear with three heads and six hands.
Cultivators such as Se Lang, Lee An, Deng Long and Xue Ping were shocked to see the transformation of the three-headed bear. The Venus Four, on the other hand, laughed at their reactions since they had already visited the underground stores.
The gigantic form of the bears blocked the working progress from being seen from behind the counter but there were lots of hammering sounds ringing and shouting from all three bears. Various colours of sparks could be seen coming out of the furnace and within minutes, the three-headed bear brought all eight weapons to the counter. All three heads gave a side grin in unison before it transformed back into three separate black bears. Then it continued to work on the piece of iron they were previously working on.
"Amazing, just amazing." All eight cultivators took their new weapons fresh from the counter and gawked at it for a moment. Each and every one of them couldn't wait to use it in their next battle.
