Number One Dungeon Supplier-Novel

Chapter 1327: Hidden Gem Night Market

Still, the Hidden Gem Night Market was just one complimentary attraction that was part of the PandaVerse Festival. The discovery of such a night market had only been possible by those Pandarens who decided to walk out of the store instances or had been recommended via the Recovery Nurses.

And as the name suggested, it only opened at the night and according to the Red Pandas and other sentient NPCs, the market was only available for this PandaVerse Festival. It was not a permanent portion and that alone had immediately made the night market a hit overnight because everyone had the fear of missing out.

That was when the Pandarens realised that this was what they had been missing for the entire Raid Instance. What Se Chang Chang had been accessing was partially from the Hidden Gem Night Market because of his privilege as a Royal Zodiac Snake Head. Jin did it because he knew that these Royal Zodiac Heads would not have bothered exploring the instance so he purposely created a digital store comprising all the Hidden Gem Night Market items for Chang Chang to procure.

In hindsight, Jin was glad he did that as the Dungeon Supplier had managed to earn a huge portion of money from the Royal Zodiac Snake Head. If Chang Chang believed that the 15% discount given to him was fabulous, he would be shocked if he ever knew that the Pandawan sponsors were given 40% instead.

But aside from Se Chang Chang, Jin had specifically enforced that items which the Royal Zodiac Snake Head had used were to be sold only in the Hidden Gems Night Market. The System resource management to handle not just multiple transactions but thousands of them would be too great a backlash for the System to cope so Jin only gave such rights to the Royal Zodiac Heads if they were to join the raid instance. Else, the rest would have to buy first before being able to teleport or create such items in their 'raid instance'.

Jin initially questioned the System whether it was too much but the System stated that Jin would be able to do the same as the Pandarens just that it was not beneficial for the System since there was no extra money earned if he did it. "User, do not forget that the Empire Building Sub System is part of the System. Therefore, the System is capable of doing such quick constructions if the User requires it. The only reason the System did not advocate the ability was that it cost too much now that the System had 'loan' the ability to Qiu Yue." The System said which made Jin willing to sell such an ability to the Pandarens at a price.

Even though it was designed as a night market, there was no doubt that the items they sold for the Raid Instance were expensive. Jin had priced everything according to its production value and although they were no doubt cheaper than 'real life', he had to ensure that he was making a profit.

While the Pandarens can use raid points to offload certain expensive items, Jin and the System had ensured that there was only so much one could buy with the raid points. Stuff like the teleportation crystal and even the making of the Outer Wall camps were not within the realm of the median salary for most people. It was unfortunate but camps and teleportation crystals were not meant to be 'spammed' or exploited for obvious reasons and that was why they cost a whole lot.

In addition, Jin had actually incurred a lot of losses in previous 'wars' but he had the fortune to have a capable Sub System User that was able to earn back the money for him. If not for Claire who had not reversed his debt ridden habits, Jin might still be suffering a loss that he could never recover. He might have the best dungeon instances but if he was not earning money from it, the System would most definitely be using more underhanded methods that would not be revealed to Jin in order to keep the store afloat.

Yet despite the price of the support items, Jin was willing to give a few of such things for free such as a modern tank or even an artillery gun through a lottery draw. The infamous large Panda gacha machine which he had used for the Chinese New Year giveaway for the minions was immensely useful for this particular situation. (At least the System did not throw that crazy big item away and kept it in its storage.)

And each time the Pandarens were to earn a thousand raid points, they were given a chance to have a chance to play the giant panda gacha machine (which still features the Panda God of fortune since it was still appropriate.) to earn prices. The Pandamonium App would teleport them to the location since the Panda Gacha Machine was too big and too meddlesome to put up multiple gacha machines in various store island instances.

Instead, Jin had duplicated two additional of those Panda Gacha Machines and placed them side by side with the original one, making them look as if they were the three great emperor officials that ruled the heavens in the taoist religion. It was also made to decrease the queue time for the Pandarens but the pool of rewards was still shared among the three Panda Gacha Machines and did not have three separate pools of rewards. A disclaimer had also been added in the Pandamonium App so people would have the same amount of chance trying.

While the common tier rewards are infinite, the higher tier rewards are limited although they were replenished daily and yet there were times the System rigged it so that none would get the highest tier rewards until a certain amount of tries had been done to entice people to try their luck continuously. Jin did not condone the System's method and in addition, requested the System to dilute the pool of rewards such that the ones the Pandarens were trying to aim for would be difficult to get.

The only good thing was that if the Highest Tier item was not redeemed, it would be added over to the next day allowing the Pandarens to try again and that 'sympathy' was more than enough to win over most hardcore gacha playing Pandarens.
