Chapter 950 New Pandawans
The Strange Adventure of a Broke Mercenary
Chapter 950 New Pandawans
Under normal circumstances, Jin would have personally come out to congratulate anyone who achieved a first clear. However, his minion hotpot jumping has led to a rather… predictable outcome.
As a cultivator who had reached a high cultivation level, he was able to dispel any alcohol with ease given time. Yet each group had greeted him with different types of quality alcohol, and they had all been extremely generous when it came to filling his cup. The dungeon supplier didn't want to seem ungrateful, so he accepted every shot as a sign of respect for his minions until he became too inebriated to use that technique and eventually passed out.
To make up for his lack of presence, the System awarded the newly promoted Pandawans with more medals than it would have otherwise done. It also created a post titled "Congratulations to the new Pandawans!" under Jin's name, which instantly got upvoted by all his customers. (It also included a link for their adventure on Pandaflix)
As part of their promotion, the three new Pandarens naturally got invited to join the exclusive Pandwan group chat. Bu Dong instantly introduced them and heavily complimented their efforts in the Nian Dungeon Instance.
"He gives us too much credit. If not for his planning and guts in battle, we might not have beat Nian, let alone achieved a first clear." Jing Yu stated humbly, but Xia Mao was already sending friendly emojis replying to Bu Dong's messages.
However, there was little activity within the Pandawan group at this late hour(or early wee hours in the morning). The only exceptions were Yue Han and Yue Wen who had returned home and were now preparing for a trip up north to visit their grandparents.
They were (mildly) shocked that Bu Dong was able to complete the dungeon this quickly after their earlier failure, but listening to Bu Dong's highly unorthodox plan, it made sense how they succeeded. Yue Han and his sister congratulated the new Pandawans and wondered if more would follow.
"With Boss Jin adding an extra first clear for this instance, he might indeed plan to increase the number of us. Assuming we stop taking all the first clears that is. I look forward to it. About time for some new blood to come on. Welcome to the group chat!" Xiong Da greeted them later in the morning, and the newly ascended Pandawans were quite honoured to meet the legendary Pandawan, which Boss Jin promotes all the time.
"Why do you all behave like he is some sort of superstar? I'm actually as good as him, if not better! " Bu Dong complained while eating with the group in the Restaurant Train Instance.
Since Zi Dan was about to leave in a couple of days, he didn't see the need to hold on to his Panda Medals and had invited all of them to this feast. (They were all eventually too embarrassed to accept the invitation for the steamboat dinner and so Zi Dan decided to do this since it was the company that matters.)
"You sure you don't wish to come for a few more games before you leave?" Xia Mao asked.
"Well, this is the new year. I planned to visit some old friends before I move and one should leave on a high note, right? I doubt we'll be able to one-up such a victorious dungeon run." Zi Dan reasoned which Xia Mao could not deny.
"Heh, then I guess this will be our last meeting then. A shame, I won't be able to make it for tonight." Jing Yu sighed since she had agreed to attend a family reunion dinner with her relatives.
"It will be awkward that I go to your house alone. As you said, after such a win, and with the yummy food, this is a great way to say goodbye." Xia Mao said as he shook his friend's hand, thanking him for the dungeon runs and his friendship.
"You never know, perhaps when Boss Jin dominates the world with his dungeon instances, you guys will just be able to meet again in a shop instance." Bu Dong remarked casually, and the elders laughed.
"Sure, as long as it's Boss Jin's dungeon, I will gladly come and play." Zi Dan replied with a chuckle. "He just needs to implement something like that before I bite the dust. With me having to look out for my grandkid who knows how long that is! Hahaha."
"Then you better tell Boss Jin, that he has to hurry. There's a personal message where we can give him feedback, mostly about how we liked his dungeons, but we are also free to put in suggestions and such." Bu Dong replied.
"Oh really? " Zi Dan asked with a light tone. "Hard to believe that something like an overseas dungeon instance connection or that sort of thing is possible."
"True, it's not possible… yet. But I have a feeling Boss Jin could find a way to make it feasible. Judging by his actions, he must have plans for expansion as well. In any case, he can't exactly ignore the wishes of his veteran Pandawans no matter how far fetched it is. Although he will surely say that we are crazy or something! Hahah!" Bu Dong said in return.
"Sure sounds far fetched. Still, it's a nice thought that someone could connect the world through dungeon instances!" Xia Mao envisioned how connected the world would be.
"Anyways, thank you for the wonderful meal. I shall be going off first." Bu Dong excused himself as he felt the elders might have some more things to say to each other.
He finally had the time to explore the Panda Street Instance, and he already had a few agendas in his head such as checking out the hidden Mecha store that the sub forums of the Supa Robot Wars were talking about.
If he could not find it, there was always the Bamboozled Bar Instance which people were raving on. And last but not least, he needed to redecorate his hideout with his new Nian event medal.
Overall, he and the Elder Pandawans literally had a blast of a time with this new format of dungeon instance.
