Chapter 1657 Daimon Aftermath -Part 6
And that idea of getting more people to enter the Synthesis World's Virtual Simulation had been approved by Syn and the System. The only caveat is that those people could only stay within Daimon.
So, Jin continued with the beta testing programme where those who had tried the 'first mission' were now able to teleport into Daimon City where they could experience a brand new city with a different culture. However, not all were convinced by this publicity stunt.
As much as people always anticipate Jin's next big thing, there were many who heard about this and were a little sceptical mainly because of Jin's habit of dropping things half way. The things he did might be of wondrous improvement from one instance to the next. But he had promised them a lot of things previously like farming Dungeon instance and or an improved instance of Supa Robo Wars. Stuff like that had been assured to the public but ever since he had disappeared, none of those things were ever confirmed again. Even Qiu Yue who was now managing his store can only explain that those game modes and instances are still in development.
So, for this Virtual Reality thing which was also a product by Jin the Pandarens suspected it might be an unfinished product. Surely, he was probably gauging the hype but there were some people who had lost faith in him, thinking that this might just be a one time experience and they will not touch it again.
But as much as the cultivators might be spiteful behind the keyboard when it comes to all these experiences, their mouths could only tell the truth about how wonderful the gameplay was. There were simply no lies mainly because the experience was truly phenomenal. So even with scepticism, when Qiu Yue revealed that the number of Virtual Reality Pods had increased to 3500, people were dying to try it out.
This indirectly brought more business for the Tree Mall as people who tried the VR pods would also need to eat or shop while waiting for their turn. So as much as customers and important people were looking for Jin, she enjoyed the money that she raked in when Jin was able to get the VR to the next stage.
And boy oh boy. The Pandarens loved it. When they arrived, there were indeed in a city that was both technologically advanced but retained its post industrial life style. Jin told them that while they could freely explore the area, it was best to look at the quests that had been given to them first.
Most of the quests relate to cleaning up the battlefield which the military urgently needs manpower due to the fact that most of their forces were either conscripts or volunteers who needed to go back to their main job to serve Daimon better.
As the returning assault force that had invaded Mount Sunn had not returned, the Pandarens were the next available workers to do this. Obviously, this was not what the Pandarens actually liked to do but a quest is a quest and they provided simulation coins.
Jin stated that as long as they could quickly clear the battlefield up, they would have access to the dungeon entrances which were temporarily sealed. Alternatively, for those who want more simulation coins and are able to perform more gruesome tasks, those Pandarens can take part and learn how to work with the resource workers. They were tasked to salvage those Metal Ogres to the best of their abilities and if they did a good job, more simulation coins were given.
Of course, when they were interacting with the people in Synthesis World's Virtual Simulation. They were actually being given points. But the fact that Jin and the System had already decided that Simulation Coins were the currency that Pandarens used. So, Syn had already created and activated a module where the points were converted into coins.
The odd thing was that the coins and points conversion might be a little off, and it resulted in decimals when the points had been converted into coins. Syn did not wish to round up or down the coins and decided to convert them as per value. This resulted in many of the Pandarens who completed their missions to receive like a 0.34 of a simulation coin as an example. So, the System had decided that those decimal points are not allowed to be withdrawn or bargained when it comes to System rewards. However, if the purchase or sales was within Daimon City, those decimal values were still valid. (since they are directly converted to points.)
Syn did not understand why the System and Jin could not just use points and gold bars which would make things so much easier for the Synthesis World AI Administration but there was no use questioning now that all the Pandarens who came in were accustomed to this simulation coin. Perhaps, Jin wanted to differentiate them from Syn's NPCs and players.
Regardless, the presence of the Pandarens were a surprise to the Daimon Citizens which Jin also previously addressed in a daily news report before their arrival. He stated that these Pandarens were mercenaries which he had employed to protect Daimon City when the monster outbreak came about. However, due to their nomad nature, they currently wished to stay here for the time being.
"You may treat them as long term tourists as long as they are paying the bills, go ahead and welcome them. But if any of them make any trouble, do not hesitate to call the police or even shout out to me when you see me in the streets. I will personally take care of them." Jin said and the Daimon Citizens really did kept a watchful eye to them.
It was only through several days of seeing how these Pandarens were helpful and not as rowdy as they expect them to be, the Daimon Citizens eventually see them as what Jin said. Long term tourists.
Yet, these long term tourists would also eventually be their teammates when it comes to the dungeon raids.
