Number One Dungeon Supplier-Novel

Chapter 1932 Zombie World Raid Instance -Part 4

As the first raid team had started their progress, the rest of the raid teams that had already been assembled were also being teleported to various areas of the Zombie World.

Egypt, France, USA, United Kingdom, Australia, United Arab Emirates, Philippines, and China were the places where Jin had created the hideouts for them to participate from. He wanted to have more places for the raid teams to try out and branch out from there but those were still considered to be limited especially when Jin was only relying on his Grey Bears to scout for the hideouts. 

Yet, those hideouts were sufficient for now as each country mentioned had at least two locations where the raid teams started their exploration. For example, Xiong Da and the others were in the supposed outskirts near Badaling City while the next location was ironically, Qian Liu Town as well. 

He purposely took Qian Liu Town as the second hideout as an easter egg for the subsequent store expansion that he had planned. Of course, he also found it reasonable that the area was remote enough to act as a branching point to breach into Mongolia if the Pandarens wanted or explore the forests and mountains of Beijing.

As for the rest of the Pandarens who wished to participate, there was a waiting time induced to it as Jin did not wish to mass populate the Zombie World Raid so quickly as mentioned. However, the more the raids go through, the more hideouts get to be established.  Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

That also means that more people are going to have the chance of going into various areas and pioneers of those hideouts would be recorded in the Pandamonium App as an act of glory for creating such a hideout. It was a small and yet non essential mention in the Pandamonium App but to some Pandarens, it meant a lot to them that they had achieved something like this, and had their name etched in places like the Pandamonium App.

But for now, after the first raid team had gone in and was successful in killing their first zombie, the rest of the premade teams who had managed to get a booking to enter the Zombie World Instance were teleported. 

Yes, the premade teams were on a first come first serve basis. Those who were able to get the bookings when the Zombie World Instance was up had the opportunity to play it as soon as it opened. This was also to help assist and manage the expectations of the Pandarens who wished to enter the raid. This was also used as a sort of experiment, to see if Jin were to limit something in particular, would it have any impact on the customers even though this would occur with lesser waiting time for them.

For now, the booking of the slots was rather effective in controlling the number of entries in the purchase of tickets or the redemption of tickets through the Dungeon Supplier Pass. The only problem was that he was afraid the slots might be wasted and thus he implemented a last minute slot for those who wished to try their luck.

Those Pandarens who resorted to this method would have to be on standby in either the Tree Mall or the Dungeons and Pandas store instance. Once the Pandamonium App had released the slot to the public, the one who would get it would be the team who was first in the queue. And based on the number of interested applicants, the waiting time to respond would be adjusted accordingly to those who had applied as well. However, the minimum response time had been set to a minute and Jin did feel that it was fair to those Pandarens who wished to try their luck on this too if they were not able to get the slots.

lightsnοvεl In addition, if they were already in a dungeon or service instance to waste their time, their ability to respond to the Last minute call up was available as well. Just that they need to forfeit their current instance and be teleported to the new Zombie World Raid Instance. That was the risk they had to take if they wished to squeeze and make the most out of their time.

That aside, he was surprised that even when he and the System had emphasised this would be a rather casual and persistent kind of Dungeon environment, the numbers who had signed for the Raid were in the hundreds. It was to the point where Jin realised that he had no choice but to not waste any time he had to keep them disappointed. Thus, he employed and deployed his Savants from the Dungeon World to look into other countries like Africa and Russia since his current scouting group had been hired by Xiong Da and the other two Pandawans.

Speaking about them, they were fifteen minutes in and had already cleared four floors of the apartment building that they were in. They had decided to split into four groups to handle the zombies as they realised that they would not be moving through the floors quick enough given the time limit they have. Compared to the rest, they were already privileged to get a time limit of an hour whereas the others only have 30minutes for their slot. Surely there was some bias but given that Xiong Da had done so much for their acquisition of the next phase of expansion, this privilege was well earned.

And also, due to the size of the building's corridors, there was no way for the entire squad to go through it with finesse. Thus, having only two per group make it significantly easier for the groups to perform their job more effectively. All of the three Pandawans had been split to pair up with one Grey bear while the last group consisted of Page and Diaz.

While Diaz was the main assault forward in the entire squad and should be placed at the front when the choice was merely either her or Page, she did not do that. Page was the one who Diaz had selected to go in front instead. And that was mainly because of her absurdly strong melee combat. Even though there was a modification of attributes in the Virtual Simulation when the Grey Bears were still in Synthesis World, the System was able to replicate the same numbers and values that the Grey Bear Mechanoids had, allowing them to have similar if not maybe even better stats.

Of course, it required money and lots of it too.

This was due to the fact that the System needed to get parts from the Black Market as well as stealing some material from the Celestial Plane which Milk and Peppers had already done so before they came out of the Celestial Realm. Even though Peppers was seen to be a child who just wanted snacks as much as possible, she was still responsible enough to buy a few items that could potentially be useful for the Dugneon Supplier. The only exception was Milk who had purchased items for her own use only.

And so, the Mechanoids were created with Celestial Metal, Rubber and Cloth, something that would have been impossible for the System to purchase from the Black Market. They do sell it but it was at such an obscene price that it did not take long for the System to reject it.

Thus, Page built with Celestial metal was able to punch and slice the Zombies with her bare hands. It did not take long for them to die as well especially when most of the attacks were punching the stomach or the head. Holes in either area would most likely cause the zombies to collapse. And that was also why Page and Diaz had been assigned the lowest of the four floors to make sure that there was some buffer when it came to noise.

Diaz did not need to shoot any more things as every single zombie crowded Page easily, enabling her to search for a proper exit aside from the one they came from. "Do you want to try this?" Diaz asked she threw her a pair of knuckle dusters.

"Heh. I guess you should not be too concerned about that." Page wore it in her right hand and sent another one through the roof just by punching. And at that point, the feather duster had already broken down into particle debris. If they were doing this on a regular basis, the consumption and resilience of the material needed to be reviewed, and not only be used on a daily basis.

"Zzzz, then I should have kept it for myself rather than giving it to you." Diaz shook her hands, not wanting to pick up the now knuckle duster and see what was the problem with it for a moment before throwing it aside not wanting to be by dusts.

"The Coast is clear." Xiong Da said through the team channel and subsequently, everyone else followed through with the next plan except for the floor where Diaz and Page were in.

"Sorry, we might need a short interval. Just found a special class zombie lurking around." Page reported and asked whether they could engage it first.
