However, other than the spring cleaning in the dungeon instances, Qiu Yue also took a huge risk of changing how the Dungeon Supplier will look to the customers. Previously, Jin had made it big, wayyyy too big for the Pandastic Festival.
Islands upon islands where each had its own individuality. Having Western theme on one island to an Oriental theme for the next. However, it was practically the same copy of the islands, just the decorations were different.
This was installed into the System mainly due to the extreme influx of customers coming for the Pandastic Festival. However, now that customer flows had reduced significantly mainly because there were no new instances as well as Jin's disappearance into cultivation, it was not worth maintaining these separate island instances for the sake of the looks.
Thus, Qiu Yue had to do something to reduce the sizes so that it would be more efficient rather than having redundancy. It's sad to face reality but Jin was indeed the expansionist that brought layers and layers of profit but now that he had a stable customer base and there was not much new stuff, it was especially crucial for Qiu Yue to cut current and potential losses when the profits were not matching.

And what better place to copy designs than from her ex workplace?
Thus, the place she copied her design was Beijing International Airport because who doesn't like to travel when given the opportunity? Plus, it had the space and designs where additional amenities could be placed easily and airport gates for the departures to different dungeon instances.
The best part?
Everyone can fly as if they were in business or first class without the fuss of supposed security checks as customers who knew what they wished to play could immediately move to their gates and board their plane to get to the 'location' they want. Some might find it a frivolous move since the idea of going to a dungeon instance was to train or play immediately and Qiu Yue had enabled customers such flexibility as well.
They can either take the plane and enjoy their ride before they arrive at their allocated departure place (in most cases, sky diving or parachuting down to where they were going) or they could just show their ticket to the assigned gate counter and the NPC attendant would teleport them straight to the fight.
And since the inception of the airport design, almost 90% of the cultivators preferred the longer route as most of them were working class people and they preferred to have some nonessential services before their fight.
From taking a quick nap in the extra comfy chairs to eating Lynn's penguins 'air flight meals', the cultivators enjoyed the inflight services before they went for their fights. In fact, some of them even decided to stay on the plane all the way and request to cancel their fights mainly because they wish to stay in the air cabin for the entire duration.
For such cases, Qiu Yue obliged them and even refunded a small portion of their fees as Coins since they were not using their main service. And this was practised for the various dungeon instances.
Separately, why the Red Sub System user chose an airport design because of a singular pet peeve too. Most airports had banned cultivators from using their powers because they know that a lot of them would like to utilise their cultivation to dash to their allocated gate. So, Qiu Yue's design of this airport instance allowed such breaking of the rule and enabled them to dash to their gate.

But to do a pilot at such a huge scale to test its feasibility was not possible due to security reasons as well. Imagine if they allowed cultivators to jump and move around wherever they wished to. Immigration would be in a lot of mess even though it could implement strict anti-chi areas.
Hence, upon implementation, there were a lot of comments that applauded her for doing this and as to her expectations, the cultivators were indeed jumping around like mad dogs because of their individual gate closures. This proved to her even more that as much as it was her pet peeve to not use cultivation in the real life setting, it was a necessary move to ensure security within the airports.
And while the implementation of an international airport was cheaper due to her copying the designs, it would be kind of ridiculous to copy it entirely without modifying its aesthetics. After all, it was a dungeon supplier store and being rigid would create points for the customers when they enter. The ever changing aesthetic was the reason that gave this Dungeon Supplier a sharper edge compared to its other competitors.
That was why Qiu Yue had decided to employ the monsters to aid with designs as well as two of the Pandawans who she knew that Jin had frequent enough contact with. Rabbit Cultivator Luo Bo and Beetle Cultivator Bin Yong.
Both of them were in the animation line and they were aesthetic when they heard Jin's store needed their help. Also, the incumbent boss was willing to pay quite a hefty in creating a good seasonal design the two were contemplating quitting their main jobs just for a gig like this. However, their cultivation grades were strong enough for them to work continuously for several days without rest and they did both jobs magnificently well.
"So does it look good?" Jin asked Moloch as another batch of Mechanoids came in again and the meeting between the two of them continued.
