Chapter 688 Three Tier Rewards

"Am I correct to assume that you have already thought up how to best utilise them?" Jin asked as he had no idea what Qiu Yue had in store for the cultivators. It also seemed more and more as if he was the only one who had been left out from the loop. Qiu Yue controlled everyone's holographic console and synchronised the presentation that she was giving.

"While Moloch and Wolte had given us some information on the degree of the scale, it still does not prepare us to fight against such overwhelming numbers. That is why we will need the cultivators to enter into action, as they present themselves as undying mercenaries fighting for a cause. The best way to entice them is naturally… rewards." Qiu Yue stated and switched the presentation to the already prepared list of rewards based on Jin's previous rewards list from the Goblin Raid and the Santa Raid.

The only raid that didn't have an explicit reward list had been the Salamander Lord's Keep Instance. In a way, it provided vital information about how the cultivators behaved in regards to the raid instances. More importantly, they could infringe on the frequency of re-entering a raid based on the redeemed prizes.

Last time they were given panda medals instead of raid points, which resulted in a certain amount of interest for various groups of cultivators. Although the rewards were lesser, earning the panda medals was practically like making extra money. Only the veteran cultivators who were aware of how Jin's dungeons and stores worked found it the most beneficial to play.

As for customers like Xiong Da, the experience of the raid was good enough on its own. He did not care too much about the 'medals' at hand (seeing as he still had 'unlimited' access). Thus, Qiu Yue's modified list of rewards tried to account for all these different types of customers.

Instead of just points, Qiu Yue had created a three-tiered reward system based on the type of points the cultivators could get by fighting the demon army. She made it more like a game to urge the customers to do more than defending against the incoming waves of demon pawns by introducing bronze, silver and gold credits.

The System had near-total surveillance of the battlefield, so it would have no problem roughly gauging the kind of demons and monsters that were more powerful and assign them values in silver and gold credits.

Based on the length of duration the cultivators stayed in battle, the System would also reward additional silver and gold credits as the effort they had placed in.

Jin was impressed by the reward tier system as it included various items ranging from vouchers, digital pet cosmetics to the mini-game rewards. (Not to mention, limited edition plushies and at the moment, Xiong Da had to be the only person who had collected everything. By now he must have a whole storeroom dedicated to it.)

But what was striking was the higher gold tier, where the rewards were still placed as '???'. Qiu Yue mentioned that it was still something in progress and it would be based on Jin's development of the Squads.

"Ah shit, I nearly placed that on the backburner. System, how does the optimisation of the Squads function based on the cultivator's testing look?" Jin asked, and the invisible elephant in the room had reported that the data was useful enough.

"After making several adjustments, the squad function had improved, but System recommends not to use it in a 'real-world' setting as of yet. It would be better if the Pandawans or selected few cultivators continue to provide additional data for the System to further perfect it."

"Damn, and here I thought we would have additional help from the System, guess that was wishful thinking on my end." Qiu Yue grumbled as she had to think of something else to replace the higher gold tiers.

"Will the absence of squads affect your plans?" Jin queried, and the Red Panda Cultivator shook her head.

"I did not take that into account, seeing that it was still in an experimental state."

"That is why I am here." Hou Fei said and waved his hands to everyone around the war table. "Despite how I may look, I'm actually a general in our world...so I will be actually sending in my troops to reinforce this Dungeon City Fortress."

"Huh, don't they need you up north?" Jin was in disbelief that Hou Fei was actually sending his troops for this particular defence operation.

"With regards to that, I'll talk to you later on the issue. For now, know that we have elite soldiers from the Royal Battalions fighting together with the cultivators. That should boost our numbers by nearly a thousand more." Hou Fei proudly claimed, and everyone was taken back at such the numbers.

Sure, Jin might have more than a thousand customers in a day's work, but definitely not at one time. By having an addition thousand more soldiers equate to nearly another 10% more troops in the field.

"I wanted to have even more enter, but considering the crowd as well as accommodations around the place, it would be quite hard unless Jin could provide some form of camping. Other than that, we are using Qiu Yue's idea of promoting the dungeon early as a form of cover."

"But people could get suspicious with the sudden influx of people," Drex commented, and the others reluctantly agreed. It was not normal to have that many people at the Tree Mall unless its the weekend.

"They might. Still, it's a good enough cover, and this will artificially boost the crowd numbers to attract attention. I will get Kiyu to prepare some coverage on this to entice even more people to enter." Kraft noted in the conversation and Jin appreciated the follow-up.

"Heh, but how elite can they be? We have fought against human cultivators and we orcs seem to have our strength restricted by the System to sometimes allow those cultivators to win." Nubwort commented, and Hou Fei laughed.

"Then that's good! This will be a wake-up call for all of them before they encounter the foes up north." Hou Fei replied with a wide smile. Jin could safely assume that Hou Fei planned to make them have a warm-up fight before entering the north, indicating that the threat could be as potent as Ke Loong had previously predicted.

"Regarding the accommodations, I think we'll be able to assist in some way. However, I am in no way allowing them to stay for free." Jin said, and the Panda Clan Remnant nodded his head with glee.

"If that's the case, I've already preallocated a few buildings for your soldiers to stay in." Qiu Yue flipped a few files from one holographic console to another, allowing Hou Fei to preview the accommodations in the Sea Domes.

"So you are just waiting for approval from the big boss?" Hou Fei looked at the files and saw how the buildings were well furnished with facilities.

"Nah. Even if he did not suggest or approve it, I would have found a way to do so, some way or another. Hehe!" Qiu Yue replied with a grin on her face.
