Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 658 Restructuring the Raid Instance

Still, Jin was relieved that the operation ended minutes before she decided to do that. (Else, the System would have been very unhappy wasting resources trying to resurrect his minions and at the loss of the Animal People.) But perhaps, it could possibly be preordained that Jin's monsters had to fight against Queen Mab despite it being just a mere distraction. (Or he just had terrible luck.)

While Drex, the Dark Elf Leader continued to report the overall situation to his master, it fell to deaf ears since Jin poured all his concentration in making sure his customers transitioned properly to the 'real' Raid Instance.

Sadly, there was one main problem.

The Queen Salamander, her royal family and the rest of the Salamander Guards were nothing exciting compared to Maeve, so Jin had decided to change the plot a little and made the Salamanders a little more appealing.

Instead of being the bosses as Jin initially planned, he had decided to give the Salamanders new roles to fit with the story's instance. (In a way, he did pity them too since the family were tokens to Maeve's playing field.) They were poised to be the victims of the whole fiasco when they reach the cultivators arrived at the 'new throne hall.'

Jin took inspiration from the Valg Humanoid Dorian and changed the story such that it was all along the scheme of a powerful Valg who overwhelmed the King Salamander's sanity and placed the rest of the Salamander Family captive in various parts of the castle.

Should the Salamander Royal family and their guards be found, they have the keystones to open the Throne Hall and fight the final boss. It was a little difficult to transit, but Jin somehow managed to tweak it and display useful information on his customers' HUD interface via their masks. Thus, the customers would not find too much of a drastic change in the storyline.

"Thank goodness I placed the disclaimer to expect the unexpected in the Emergency Raid Instance, and that included the changes in the storyline," Jin said as he wrote a lengthy post in the Pandamonium Forums.

The post discussed the significant changes in this Emergency Raid Instance like how a game developer revised his game, and he had stated that he would classify it as Experimental in the future in case such raid instances would to ever appear again.

As for now, the 'Emergency' portion disappeared, and it was categorised as a normal raid instance. In return for those people who participated in the first and ever 'Emergency' type, he had awarded not only the rewards promised but also increased the rewards by another 20% as well as a free ticket to the brand new Raid Instance. (Jin knows that he would still earn as much money if the trend was the same with the Goblin Raids.)

While some people were jealous of those cultivators who not only had free entry but as well as free rewards, a number of forum posters stated that it's an excellent move to reward people who were dedicated to the shop.

A move that brings friends, families and even strangers to work together with a common purpose. (Of course, they would prefer to have more of these events in the future.)

'There's too little of these community stuff that brings people together. Being away from cell phones and coming together to work as a team while meeting new people. Pandas and Dungeons is the best!' stated by one of the commentators in the forum thread which Jin was surprised that there were a lot of likes on it.

'Haha! We all have been behind our phones and not care about the people around us. Pandas and Dungeons had shown that the community spirit can be still alive!' Another commentator said.

'If Boss Jin ever goes global, maybe we can see hot chicks as well?' Obviously, a young male commentator typed, and the sub replies did encourage Jin to go global for the wrong reason.

Needless to say, there were dissidents mixed with the praises such as the increased pay to win features, but others stated that this was ultimately a business. They noted how Boss Jin had continuously showered them with free gifts, time and time again. The defenders also commentated how he tried to improve the rewards and creating new content.

"I am a regular dungeon goer, and this is the first dungeon store I have known to feature so many dungeon instances. I could safely say that Boss Jin introduced more dungeon variety than more than half of the dungeon suppliers could in a year!" A commentator claiming he was a Dungeon Instance critic wrote.

Jin saw that the thread suddenly became the most 'hot' thread and though some still criticised the way Jin operates, the compliments kept pouring in, exceeding the 'bad' posts. Some even asked Jin to do a regular thread posting to talk more about the dungeon instances he created as a sneak peek preview. (Upon reading, Jin believed he could get Kiyu to produce videos to match with his posts.)

"Ahhh…just one forum thread by me and it is being spammed by so many people." Jin smiled as he closed his phone and performed the finishing touches to the Boss for the new raid instance. The dungeon supplier had used Zieg, the Dark Templar Commander and a support type of Valg combined together.

No, Jin did not use the monster merger function because it was not needed. The Valg works by attaching itself towards the user. Apparently, it was found connected to another Valg, but the cultivators managed to defeat both Valgs at one go, and did not realise the Valgs were combined together.

This particular Valg supplemented Dark Templar Commander Zieg's magical powers, allowing him to shoot energy based projectiles without the need to chant the magical words to invoke them. And because of his experience as a commander, Jin made Zieg as if he had the ability to summon Valgs though it was just him calling out the reserve of Valgs waiting to be reused in the dungeon raid instance.

After which, Jin made a cosmetic inscription that allowed Zieg to have armour coloured in red as well as a Salamander tail. He made sure that Zieg's helmet would be permanently on by giving him a few card upgrades to strengthen his helmet. By having a permanent helmet, his face was not revealed even though the helmet had Salamander features on. This was also partially because Jin did not wish to aggravate the fact that the Salamanders had lost their King to Maeve.

He hoped that allowing them to fight against the Valgs would aid in their grief but there was nothing more he could do. Jin needed to earn money, and there was no time for the captured monsters to rest. He could only wish that the Salamanders would be painted in a better light through this Raid Instance as compared to the stories his other monsters had heard previously from Hamatarou. (Especially when Hamatarou and Gaeru had a misconception of how the Salamanders were the bad guys.)

With the creation of the new 'Valg Commander', Jin finally released the last Salamander Guard that needed to be found in a secluded corner of the castle raid which had the final piece of the keystone to open the new Throne Hall.

"What's wrong, Drex??" Jin thought he was done for the day until Drex had a troubled look on his face. For a Dark Elf Leader to be fazed by the situation meant that it was something serious.

"This." Drex turned the System Console Monitor to Jin, and he was dumbfounded.

A battle of Orcs against Queen Mab's Ice Soldiers.

"How did this even happen?!" Jin asked, and Drex shook his head slowly.

"I tried telling you a few times, but you were too absorbed in your work that I had given up. Right now, I can only witness and report what had happened. As for the aftermath of Operation Mass Migration, its a success. My people and the penguins had already calmed the eight other animal tribes down. Hamatarou had also briefly explained to them and made them signed the contracts." Drex replied before picking his jacket up.

"I shall oversee and welcome the eight tribes with Hamatarou, but you should be making your appearance when you are done handling the particular task at hand," Drex added before disappearing from the Dungeon Maker.

"I feel another bad headache is coming," Jin said to himself, but at the same time, he was secretly hoping to see some good action from the orcs to judge their new and improved army. All that training and construction work as well as being the aggressors for the Goblin Raids had certainly trained the Orcs to a whole new level.

The System also stated a bulk of them was close to evolving, which was a pleasant surprise for Jin to take in. And even they were not at the limit of evolving, Jin could already see some noticeable changes.

Still, it was undoubtedly a gauge to check if they were prepared for the incoming fight to protect Jin's Dungeon City Fortress.
