Chapter 1047 - The Crowd!

"It's quite a surprise the police gave its top detectives some time off." Bin Yong said as he showed the Panda Flight Attendant his electronic ticket, verifying his participation for the Demopolis Raid as well as the appointed de facto team leader for this particular All Star team.

"We're merely here to spend our vouchers that Jin had offered us as part of the contract to keep us in shape. To be frank, this particular raid had raised quite a number of eyebrows fromthe policemen and women in the station." Xue Ping replied as she raised her phone with the Pandamonium app on for identification purposes.

"Is it because the trailer mentioned we would be fighting against some demonic Mafia monsters?" Luo Bo questioned and Xue Ping nodded her head.

"While we know that Jin's dungeons are mostly fantasy based, there are still quite a fair bit of tactics the monsters deploy against cultivators that are rather original. Although it is a bit far fetched in the real world, it can't hurt to learn something from it and draw inspiration from it." Xue Ping explained.

"Bah, what nonsense. Although Police Captain Pai Huo might claim this could be a good exercise, you just wanted to fight and work off some steam by smacking some monsters." Lee An, her husband, waved off all the previously mentioned logic of his wife.

Xue Ping did not hesitate to pull his ear and reminded him to concentrate for they were here to explore whether it would indeed be good for the rest of the police staff in the Tiangong Police Station to take part in this raid.

"I guess it can't hurt to try it out. We saw the trailers that this is set in the urban city. Compared to the Pandapolis raid, which happened to be at the outskirts of a city and later chaos within the city, this seemed to be really concentrated in an urban landscape." Shi Zuo remarked as he adjusted his bag and entered through the security gates after showing his identification.

"Yeah. The Deep One Escape City is madness for a one team dungeon instance and this seems to be an improvement over it." Luo Bo still felt sour that so far they had been unable to complete the Deep One Escape City Dungeon Instance. In fact, so far nobody had managed to fully clear that dungeon and the Pandawans had come up with a theory that it could possibly be a 'marathon' kind of dungeoneering rather than a find the objective and rush to it.

Bin Yong and his team had tried a dozen more times but they had failed to replicate their first 'complete' run. It was as if it had just been a fluke or the AI within the dungeon instance had gotten less complacent with their team at that point of time. When they heard that Demopolis Raid featured an entire city that is equivalent to three major districts worth of streets, they knew that this raid could not be finished in a single day.

The previous Pandapolis Raid had already felt like a week long, so they imagined this one might turn into months long. In actual fact, the Pandapolis Raid had only lasted around two Dungeon World days and the System, as usual, had purposely recreated the scenes and played them on repeat for a week after the actual one. It was not so different from what it had done for the Goblin Wars as well as the Salamander Lord Castle Raid.

Still, everyone who had been to Jin's dungeon store long enough would know that the first iteration would always be the most unique one, as if it was to give the early bird cultivators the special privilege of testing it out, although some just claimed that it was to calibrate the difficulty level. Whatever the case, this was no exception with the fact that both Jin and his minions had indeed anticipated this fight to be a very protracted one in order to save System resources while earning money.

However, the Foxes begged to differ. According to them it would last less than a week, seeing how the crowd for the new Demopolis raid had grown quite immense. There were estimated to be nearly two thousand cultivators within Jin's store instance, all camping to try out the new fight. It was all thanks to the Shenzhen's Tourism Board as well as his new 'pals' from the Royal Zodiac Snake Battalion. But if the System were to analyse the crowd properly, it would be entirely another reason.

While higher echelons of the Royal Zodiac Tiger Clan were at odds with Jin, it did not mean that everyone associated with their clans hated him. Some even admired his show of strength on the first day of the Chinese New Year. The news of him being the newest Royal Zodiac Panda Clan leader had reached to the ears of various leaders and had made them very curious about this unique dungeon supplier.

From the Royal Zodiac Clans to minor clans as well as military and police leaders, all had sent out their lackeys to observe this particular event. They knew that Jin might not exactly be directly involved in the event but the rumours of a rising leader because of his dungeon store had made people interested in the features of his dungeon supplier store.

Although the store instance was already a power blow to their current mindset about dungeon suppliers, the Demopolis Raid instance would be a whole new level and Jin welcomed these people to try their luck and strength in this raid. After all, the Mafia families controlling the city right now were no ignorant brutes. The fight for the Shadow King titles had been a constant struggle for control and that meant lots of bloodshed as well as the rise of veteran fighters.

If the Demon Army was considered a menace that required Jin to use heavy ordnance to stop them, this would be far harder considering they wished to keep most of the stuff intact. As ironic as it sounded considering that King Rex and Jin were going for a restart in Demopolis City, there was another good reason for this.

Kraft and Kiyu's deep infiltration within the ranks of the Church of the Afterlife had not been for nought. Their 'enslaved' tempered agents had already told them all about the Church's desire in demolishing the Demopolis and this entire fight could possibly be a farce…

But for now, Jin kept his cool and watched on the sidelines as he allowed Kraft to take the stage.
