Chapter 1935: End of Zombie World Raid Instance
As soon as he did that, the amount of Zombie points awarded was ridiculously high. Even the System knew that different special class zombies should award the appropriate amount of zombie points. Effort should be rewarded as intended.
But when Xiong Da's Squad checked the time left in their Pandamonium App, they would not have much left to spare upon defeating the special class zombie. All they could do was possibly do a debrief session or kill any remaining zombies that were coming into the building.
It sounded like they were clearing up the area but they had not forgotten that the howling of the special class zombie had made things especially difficult for them to move out of the building premises. Surely the walls of the private apartment building would put a mark on the zombie's progress but the previous special class zombie's howling was significantly potent that those zombies were pushing and even stepping on one another to climb up the low wall that was meant to protect the private apartment from improper human intrusion. (They were definitely not meant to stop zombie intrusion.)
Even so, Jin believed they had already done a good job clearing twenty over floors of zombies in an hour and were still able to contend with two special class zombies. While it was a pity they could not get the first one, the System therefore compensated the zombie points with the second one. Of course, it was not a direct insertion of points. but after the raid was done.
They had an after mission holographic screen to display their results the moment the time was up and all of them teleported back to the subway station that brought them to the Zombie World Raid Instance. It gave them the breakdown of how many zombies they had killed and how many assists they had made. Of course, those did not matter to them as compared to the amount of zombie points they had accumulated. As long as any of those numbers would be useful to contributing the zombie points to their score, they will be satisfied.
In addition, the three Pandawans also receive 5% of zombie points of what the Grey Bear Squad had killed. That was a surprise to them when they saw the results screen to find that what they had killed was also part of their score. As the Grey Bear Squad Leader, Yinn told them that this was part of the advantages of using the NPC Adventurer System.
"Obviously, we are not part of the NPC Adventurer System since Jin had been kind enough to throw you a special offer to use us. But we are obligated to tell you that the workings of the NPC Adventurer System are meant to aid you since you paid money or Coins for it." Yinn explained. She also added that there were levels to patronising the NPC Adventurer System.
The more they use it, the percentage of zombie points they receive will also increase. There is currently a max of 50% but the road to get that level was undoubtedly paved with lots of expenses to the customer's wallet. Therefore, this was not explained until the end of the first mission upon using the NPC Adventurer System. It was to not let others think that this is a substitute for the real players' interaction.
"In fact, Jin had a team bonus multiplier if you ever had a full team going into the Zombie World Raid Instance. The erm...programme will monitor how well the team works and depending on your performance, a multiplier can be added in. It can go up to a maximum of 50% as well." Yinn told them to remind the other two Pandawans that money was not everything even though she had seen the records on the System to know that Bu Dong was quite the spender too despite his age.
"Heh, I will take note of that." Bu Dong could also sense that Yinn was talking to him instead of Xiong Da or Yue Han. The way he interpreted it was that Jin had told Yinn beforehand and asked her to relay such a message.
"But damn, if we could get you again, that would be fantastic." Xiong Da exclaimed as he knew that he was working with professionals.
"From the records, your group of existing Pandawans is more competent than us. We are just mercenaries." Yinn replied humbly.
"Nah. Even Bu Dong can sense that your team is different from any other mercenaries out there especially when you had been handpicked by Jin himself. What you are showing was definitely lesser than you are capable of. I am sure of that." Xiong Da added.
"There is no way that you are able to choose us again unless Boss Jin allows for it." Click said as she stretched herself when they were talking. She felt a little sad that none of her drones were being deployed for this current raid. She was expecting to earn a little from their excessive use but it looks like they were cautious enough to prevent the use of such drones and at the same time, the current fighting environment had also reduced the possible use of the drones as well.
Perhaps if they were in a more open surrounding where there were no covers, no narrow spaces which the cultivators could not utilise to their advantage then perhaps the drones might have some space for action.
But overall, the results were rather decent and they had quite a fair amount of zombie points from the raid. Not to mention, they were the only group that occupied a simultaneous time slot which meant Xiong Da and the other two Pandawans were ahead of the rest for the time being.
This was undoubtedly a significant advantage compared to the rest of the Pandarens mainly because there were some results were limited especially the plushies which Xiong Da had already actually told Jin how he had bought a house where he dedicated all of his plushies which he got from Jin and placed it in there.
When Jin previously saw the plushie collection from Xiong Da's phone, he decided to create and put up a gallery instance where it would showcase all the plushies, toys, collectibles, and other rewards that he had created previously and put them up for display.
"I am not that interested in other stuff other than your plushies. You just have to make sure that any limited edition plushie that you have, I must acquire it too." Xiong Da once said he was now a serious collector of the plushie.
What's more, there was a statement where this particular new zombie plushie that Jin had put limited stocks in was ground breaking. It does not only let you feel extremely stress free from it but also exudes a particular fragrance that was supposed to come from a recurring inscription charm. As long as the inscription charm had sufficient chi, it would exude a particular fragrance.
As to the smell, there was no mention of what it was and the Pandarens had to redeem the limited edition zombie plushie first before knowing the smell. But Jin guarantees that this would be one of the nicest smelling zombies the customers would ever encounter.
Other than that, most of the rewards were rather standard as Jin did say that the rewards had been staggered to make sure that at each major breakthrough, the Zombie World Instance had, they could get better different rewards during the next phase.
When questioned when was the major breakthrough, Jin hinted at milestones like liberating and taking over a capital city, by ensuring no zombies were in there for a number of days. Or killing a hundred thousand zombies. Such minor and major milestones would enable the store to be updated and Jin assured that there were no changes to the zombie points at all.
However, he did state that if there were limited edition zombie points to be earned, there would be lead time for the Pandarens to take note and it would be an event with regards to the Zombie World Raid Instance. As of now, there were no such events planned in the near future until the Pandarens got used to Zombie World Raid Instance as a permanent fixture of the Dungeon Supplier store.
"Thank you for your service then," Xiong Da representing the Pandawans thanked the Grey Bears for an eye opener on the teams that Jin had under him and were on his payroll. It might not mean much to Bu Dong and Yue Han but Xiong Da knew the implications of keeping an elite team under his name.
There had been rumours and gossip floating around that Boss Jin was an up and coming Royal Zodiac Head. The trip to the Ministry of Land's main branch office had confirmed much of that suspicion mainly due to the fact that Jin had been given a privilege tier that was usually reserved for the Royal Zodiac Clans. And even if Jin had said that perhaps he had some connections, it was impossible to give such a high tier exclusive just for Jin unless they owed him something huge.
Yet, the impassive look on Ma Ge who was part of the Royal Zodiac Horse family did not make such an 'expression of gratitude'. Not to mention, Jin was not even ...grateful? Xiong Da could see in his face that Jin didn't expect it but when he got it, it was as if he should have it.
Of course, all of these were conjectures and inferences that Xiong Da had, and even the documents that Jin's employees had prepared did not mention one bit that Jin was about to be a part of a Royal Zodiac Clan. In addition, Jin's cultivation was not suitable for any of the Royal Zodiacs. The closest might be the Tiger Clan but Xiong Da knows that the Tigers do not lack any successors.
Still, Xiong Da knew that Jin was someone big. But he had no idea how big Jin was. And that 'big' status was confirmed once more when the national news stated that the National Martial Arts and Sports Competition would be held in Shenzhen, Tiangong District.
