Chapter 628 Raiding to Distrac

"Actually, I was wondering why don't you make it as a Raid? You never fail to use your cultivators as fodder while earning money. Why stop at the Goblin Raids? Besides, you cannot do anything about the titan thingy until Rei remodelled the Sandroku Golems to be space worthy." Kraft spoke out of turn as he sat with his legs crossed and looked at the current situation Jin was in.

"But won't it be impossible to defeat? From what we know previously, the Salamander King gets his power ups from his defeated foes." Jin replied, and Hamatarou's face immediately lighted up.

"That is If he eats his defeated foes. What I understand from your dungeon shop is that once your cultivators reached to low health or killed, they would be transported back right?" Hamatarou questioned, and Jin nodded his head.

"Then maybe it can work, especially since we need to throw lots of bodies to exhaust Maeve's powers. As it now stands, we might have to throw everything at her in order for her to stop being a threat. If she can induce the cannibalistic behaviour in the Salamander King, Maeve might do worse things when the situation is not in her favour."

"So, you two are saying that I should use my customers as a source of distraction? To keep that Fey occupied so that she would not bother the other animal tribes" Jin started to wonder if it was a good idea. There was no incentive, and in fact, he needed to fork out more expenses to manage the current situation.

"I say it will be best to eliminate him as soon as possible. If Maeve is as crazy as what Hamatarou said, it might be possible that your future allies could be in trouble since her powers are of a different level. And if not for them, do it for my village." Kido, who happened to return and listen to the conversation, gave his opinion.

"Basing on the assuming that he is a stereotypical tyrant, King Salamander would definitely smash and destroy stuff in his castle to vent his anger and rest momentarily before acting again. This is no doubt the best time to quickly gather people to pester him."

"If you sending people in, I want to go as well." Gaeru declared as he still did not give up the idea of defeating the Salamander King.

"User, it will be more beneficial for you to send customers to defeat the Evil Kinkstress. Monsters defeated require souls, but customers who were killed will immediately be sent to the Luxury Recovery Instance. While resources would no doubt be used, they are at a lower cost compared to sending monsters in and spending money on souls." The System stated that because Jin specialised in supplying Dungeons, the System had already attuned its resources his shop so sending customers would be the optimal choice.

It also reminded that as his monsters are growing stronger and the number of souls to replace them increased exponentially compared to using them in dungeons or utilising the cultivators.

"I see. I always thought the maintenance fee that you keep asking me to pay for, was partially due to the number of customers fainting." Jin replied as he recalled paying a lot more money when the number of customers skyrocketed.

"As previously discussed, the System used the fee User paid to upgrade its processing capability and kept a portion for rainy days." The System answered with a slight glee in its tone, which was rare for the rest to hear it.

Jin took a quick glance on his watch and laughed at the opportune timing given by fate itself. "Saturday morning. 4am. In a few hours, I will potentially have a load full of cultivators coming in." Jin said to himself.

"Heh, don't forget about the oldies. Their bones might be popping, but god damn, when I saw them fight, it was a sort of refined art." Kraft joked, and Jin did not know whether he was sarcastic or not. "That is if your pricing still stays the same since they are after all a bunch of grumbling cheapskates. But man, when they fought with Krampus, I was laughing my ass off how absurdly strong they were."

"Hamatarou, any chance you can defeat Maeve when she weakens by the customers?" Jin questioned, and the Sage Hamster shrugged his shoulders.

"I honestly have no idea what kind of powers she has, but the idea given by your monsters and the System makes sense. If you throw enough people in, Maeve will definitely be exhausted, and that will be a good time to jump in." Hamatarou concurred with the plan once more while telling Jin that he might have a way to give Gaeru's living weapon a boost now that he knows the existence of Masamune and his ability.

"How will you do it? I previously tried to add inscription charms and even support magic into it, the Masamune rejects almost everything." Jin said which Hamatarou smirked and replied with the following.

"Have you tried blood?"

Jin slowly shook his head with a happy half-smile and could roughly guess how he was going to improve Masamune's strength. He then sent Hamatarou off to see Vulcan, his NPC Blacksmith for his help. "If that is the case, Gaeru. I shall temporarily bestow you with a part of my weapon set." Jin said as he presented Boo to the frog swordsman.

As Boo was in the Wakizashi form, the blade size was perfect for Gaeru to wield. The frog initially did not want to accept it, but Jin convinced him that it was a temporary weapon to use against the Salamander King until Hamatarou managed to upgrade his Masamune for the killing blow.

After that, Gaeru reluctantly accepted and went to Panda Muscles Service Instance to practice the hang of his new sword before being summoned for the raid again.

As for Jin, he courteously asked the rest to give him some alone time to create an impromptu event while Kraft had already recruited Kiyu to make a promotional video with all the data the System had in its system. (Kiyu was cursing madly when she was given urgent requests, but she nevertheless delivered her product as scheduled.)

Jin knew that this would be a one-time event, so he had decided to create a new category of Dungeon type called Emergency Dungeon Raid. When Jin published the particular type of dungeon 'instance' into the Pandamonium App, there will be a buzzing notification that would be pushed to all the users.

Unlike standard notifications, the Emergency Dungeon Raid notification would appear something similar to a vibrating phone call. He knew that it might be annoying to the users, but the vibration would only last six seconds. Should anyone response and accept the invitation for the raid, they would have a free ticket to the raid instance as well as 100 Panda Medals if they manage to reach in an hour.

This was to incentivise users who wish to be part of the shop's hardcore cultivating culture and at the same time, inadvertently help Jin to achieve his objective.

In addition, there was no limit on the acceptance number and the dungeon supplier knew that if they managed to defeat Maeve and the Salamander King in record time, the System could replicate the data for other people to play the event.

Now, Jin could only hope that the suggestions of his fellow comrades would be beneficial.
