Chapter 1866 Theory Crafting

The reception of the Dark Days Dungeon had been surprisingly decent when Jin thought that there would be a lot of controversy due to the difficulty of it especially for the 'normal' cultivators. For the fact that Jin had decided to keep most of its contents under wraps, most of the cultivators did not know what to expect and in fact, most of them went in with the expectation of being 'careful'.

There was no information available until you tried it once. Of course, if one were to look outside of the Pandamonium App circle, like social media and stuff like that, there would definitely be spoilers. However, a majority of the cultivators had unconsciously agreed that it was best not to spoil the fun of it.

Besides, there was not much to spoil with the exception of the advice to search for the bodies or the village and 'get the Protection Inscription Charm no matter what'. As for the rest of the chatter in the net, people actually abide by the 'rules' and most of the conversation pertaining to the Dark Days Dungeon had been confined within the Pandamonium Sub Forum thread.

Some were sharing their experiences on how they fought the first phase of the boss and the mechanics of the stone pillars skill. It was quite clear that Jin had indeed followed the Dark Sols' formulae and implemented attack patterns and mechanics for cultivators to understand.

For the stone pillars, it might seem random at first until they took the time to understand it. Some even tried and remember where it was situated and draw it out. It was to the point where many of the cultivators chimed in their information and built comprehensive coordinates of the Hellknight Goblin's first mechanic.

They eventually found out that there were three patterns of stone emergence altogether and the possibility of those three patterns coming out had been rather skewed in such a way that most cultivators agreed to at most remembering two particular scenarios. Based on the two scenarios that came out the most frequently, the forum peeps had even deduced which was the best place to stand so that they could hit the maximum amount of stone pillars that even a regular cultivator could achieve.

It was like a big theory crafting session for something that Jin haphazardly put up (Of course, they never knew that!) and the owner of Dungeons and Pandas was sincerely impressed by the 'DDD Community' or so they quote themselves to be. It was unlike any other dungeons where the discussion was mostly lighthearted and maybe capturing hilarious moments within those dungeons. At most, some would ask for help on how to fight against the bosses but this Dark Day Dungeon Instance was producing not mere guides. They were taking into account the kind of techniques that would be suitable for the run.

Cultivators were sharing their information from the type of techniques used and people in the forum were collating those data and even putting them in Excel sheets to show which would be suitable. If someone were to use the very same technique and had managed to clear a certain phase of the fight, they would try to put it in words.

However at times, it was difficult to visualise what the cultivators were talking about and some customers even took the extra mile to go into Jin's training service instance, Panda Muscles Service Instance to rent one of the training dummies and showed the forum people how he had done it. Those who saw it asked whether Boss Jin would ever consider creating a dummy training arena of the same size as the Village's Clearing to get used to the space.

To their surprise, Jin had agreed within a day and added a new portion in the Panda Muscles Service Instances to rent training rooms that simulate the Village's Clearing arena. There were even props where ready where the stones could be placed via chi markers. When Jin announced this rental service, the number of people buying the monthly premium pass went up drastically. This was because they got to use the Panda Muscles Service Instance to learn the fight and later attempted it.

The difficulty spike had in fact brought popularity back to Dungeons and Pandas and people all over China were complaining when Jin would ever bring his service to other regions of the nation. "A work in progress. We are planning to implement our Virtual Reality game stores and Dungeon Supplier stores simultaneously at various locations in the coming year. I can guarantee you that a region would be lucky enough to get it first and if that is successful, we will strive to expand even more at a rapid pace. For now, please come patronise Shenzhen's Tree Mall and experience what this shopping centre could offer that others could not." Jin said in the forums and everyone got excited.

Along with that announcement, CEO SeaMesh Ke Loong had also stated that his company would be lending his expertise to aid with Jin's shop expansion which instantly skyrocketed SeaMesh stocks up to 30% of its original price for some reason. Ke Loong was expecting a small increase because he also believed Jin's circle of influence was considerably small when Jin's announcement made headlines in Shenzhen. Yet, he never expected investors to pour in so quickly, pushing SeaMesh prices to such heights.

Perhaps the investors may have the belief based on the fact that SeaMesh had recently been doing very well in their tech expertise portion due to their vital role in creating the Virtual Reality as no pun intended a reality. Some even had the suspicion that SeaMesh was backing up Jin all these while in his new Dimensional Instance Technology and that Jin's store was just a front for experiment.

But wild theories aside, with this injection of cashflow, Ke Loong was poised to aid Jin in his expansion of both the new Dungeon Supplier Store and Virtual Reality Store. It will definitely be a busy year for Jin and his team. (Meanwhile, in the background, the System was dying to get Panda Inc to IPO.)
