Chapter 909 Personal Rooms
The cabin they were in was something new too. Instead of a single bedroom which they all expected, it actually had split into three different rooms converting to a main common room within the cabin.
Jing Yu happened to see that the other Pandarens' rooms were the same as every single one of them was shouting from their main cabin doors how crazy spacious it looked.
Only through some interaction between the Pandarens did they realise that the cabins were actually split up based on the number of party members one would have, excluding the common room. Only through further inspection, did they all discover that the room was actually meant to be used as their very own personal private room.
The Elder Pandarens found how all their weapons, armour, clothes and miscellaneous items that they had stored previously in a separate locker had been transferred over. There was a little note where it stated that the room they were in would henceforth be their personal locker room.
No one would be able to enter without the owner's permission, and they could decorate the room in any way they liked. There were no fees to it and could always be accessed before a dungeon raid.
The same service was extended to include the plane rides, and in the future train rides too. To top it all off, Jin had already cunningly added an entire shophouse dedicated to customising one's hideout. It was operated solely by Red Pandas instead of the usual Pandas because it fell under the premise of Empire Building.
Qiu Yue initially wanted full customisation options to be available to the customers but Jin rejected the idea vehemently. "If we can monetise something, we should." Jin insisted as this personal room expansion was meant to provide more avenues to 'exploit' the Pandarens even more.
To get the shophouse rolling, Jin and Qiu Yue released the New Year Theme Set, and it would be an exclusive item reward for anyone who participated in his dungeon. To top it off, it would not be sold again in the future. He knew how games and various dungeon supplies companies had given in to removing the exclusivity on time-limited products and released more in the future, but it spoiled the collector's value. That was why he would remain adamant those would be of a limited quantity.
Claire had also created plans for starting an auction house in the future but seeing how Jin was creating the Virtual Reality Network she held back that thought for the future.
"No wonder Jin insisted cultivators to board the ship. From a free meal to hiring dedicated mercenaries in case we do not have the party members present to fulfil a certain role." Zi Dan said as he came out of his room and sat down in the common area.
"But this role thing is eating up quite a fair bit of panda medals and to an extent, real money too." Xia Mao placed his phone on the table, activating an app on the TV in front of them, which allowed them to choose who they wanted their Panda Mercenaries to be.
"Well… We could always go for the free one and increase its stats by feeding him a little more Panda Medals." Jing Yu was rereading everything again as she felt that this whole Panda Street Instance appeared to be a reboot of Jin's dungeons and how he was moving forward.
"Heh! There is also a service where they bring you the weapons and armour we missed to buy from the stores." Xia Mao said as he believed the catalogue was still the same.
"Does it charge more? It must be the case, else the shophouses would be kinda obsolete." Zi Dan came to the conclusion to his own question as he opened their mini-fridge and there were explicit items that said FREE and $$$ on different levels.
"Yeah, roughly another twenty percent but that also includes the delivery charge. It seems to work like a pre-order too, so the price is normal if we do not collect it immediately and head to the store and get it later." Xia Mao vaguely remembered the price of a sword he was looking at and knew that what he was seeing through the screen was more expensive.
And unlike some shops, the app screen showed that there were additional charges on it.
"Welp, looks like Boss has more money traps to his dungeons." Zi Dan sighed, but they all believed there was still a balance in all the options he featured, especially if on budget.
However, they too know that this experience they were having was way too real that no other dungeon suppliers could have replicated such an amazing thing, so it was hard for them to fault Jin entirely given his price point for the ticket itself.
"I feel that if Boss Jin emphasises that there is a need for a Tank and Healer in this dungeon instance, that means the fights should be more intense than previously. We can't just be chugging potions endlessly even though they are more potent than most stuff out there." Jing Yu added as she checked her blades
"Yeah, and too bad those awesome potions are locked out with a spell and turned invalid if we try to bring them outside his dungeon instances. I would love to use it during my fishing trips to revigorate me." Xia Mao was seriously browsing through the mercenaries to see who had better stats and cheapest options.
"I understand that he does so in regards to the weapons but don't you find it kind of funny that he is applying such a powerful seal on simple chi potions? I mean there are dungeon suppliers out there that have their very own blacksmiths and alchemists who create customised stuff. They do not even put such restrictions on their own products as much as Boss Jin does." Zi Dan queried.
"They really must not want people to come and copy their stuff. I mean, come on, the new potions that the young researcher girl was selling are fantastic. We experienced first hand how the wounds closed faster than any other options available." Xia Mao replied while thanking Jing Yu again for demonstrating a wound cut in Yu Xiang's new Alchemist Store.
"Hmm...if that is true, shouldn't he export it out? He could be earning more money." Zi Dan casually commented but later on realised how impractical it would be in the long run.
"OH.. Oh… I see. my bad."
"That actually saves some explaining. And here we thought you had forgotten about your trading roots." Xia Mao sniggered, and Jing Yu shook her head with a smile.
"Yeah but no matter what, people will try to reverse engineer his stuff, after it becomes common knowledge how good it can potentially be." Zi Dan revised his statement, and the other two chuckled.
"All the more reason for him to try and make it as hard as possible to copy and prove that he is able to keep ahead of the competition." Jing Yu said as she heard a loud horn from the ship. The Pandamonium App had also pushed a notification that they had to rendezvous at the ship's basement for their departure to the Nian Dungeon Instance.
