Chapter 1621 Defending Daimon -Part 10
People who were a little curious about the Virtual Simulation finally started to tune into Pandaflix to see what the entire commotion was about. And there they saw people were in those Virtual Simulation pods and their avatars had been shown on screen by the System.
As it was supposedly a beta test, they did not think that it would show many features until they saw that the Pandarens were already facing a massive monster outbreak with the guns and swords they had been given at the start.
It did not look like much from the spectator's point of view but when they came into a single Pandaren's point of view (POV), they saw that there were stats, inventory bags, and even an hp/mp bar which every MMORPG would have. But unlike most crazy fantasy MMORPGs, this particular one was mostly realistic due to the fact that they were using guns and chi to kill their enemies.
So, most of them understood why this was a beta test since they were being plunged into a battle straight after teleporting in rather than experiencing the newbie town or choosing their factions et before going into simple combat. This particular test quickly brought them into the battlefield and let them taste what it feels like to be in a VR MMORPG.
It might not seem different from the usual dungeon instance but this had many implications for the world at large. Obviously, if Boss Jin made it right for this, he could potentially create something that will rock the world and skyrocket him to be a multi billionaire almost instantly. His Panda Inc. he created could enter the stock market and perhaps be the very few dungeon suppliers that had stocks that people were interested in.
This is mainly because what the Dungeon Suppliers mostly target are cultivators, enabling cultivators to grow and learn their skills. However, for Jin's dungeon supplier store, it had a boon and a flaw at the same time. Those cultivators were able to receive a level up to cultivation grade if they played enough and this was adamantly obvious for those who had joined or participated in his dungeon instances.
This might not seem to be a problem at the start since people would think that the increase in cultivation grade was due to the real and interactive fun that they were enjoying in this dungeon supplier store. But if people were to seriously take notice, it could spell trouble as everyone in the world would want a piece of this pie. Who does not want to increase their grades through combat when it is currently not easily available due to the lack of monsters to fight with?
To some, they might even think that having the possibility of reincarnation makes it a deterrent to increasing cultivation grade as all they need to do is pay some money, and tada~! They are back in this world while their perpetrators have been arrested.
So, in order to curb this early the System had purposely reduced the amount of spiritual chi that those cultivators could obtain in the long run from the monsters but that also meant inserting more resources into the monsters so that they would not be purely made out of a soul and spiritual chi.
Not to mention, there should be a ceiling for the grades those monsters could be created in order to ensure that the Pandawans do not go up too much higher. Then what about the cultivators who were of high levels? Shouldn't Jin and the System cater to them as well? It was a problem that both of them had yet to solve as they had not seen anyone who was of that kind of high grade enter the Dungeon Supplier store. Most of them knew that the stores could only handle Grade 10 and below even though in terms of technicality, the System would be able to give at least Grade 15 and below due to Jin's cultivation.
But for the moment, they decided to keep it at Grade 10, and any breakthroughs that the cultivators had after this might need better masters. Still, the reason for Dungeon Suppliers in this day and age was not because of the need to train, but the want to experience. If someone did request Jin for a high grade dungeon, the System believes that they will get what they want so long they can pay for such a price.
Otherwise, for the need to get stronger and even beyond that Grade 10 ceiling that Jin artificially created, the use of VR MMORPG could be the answer and possibly the best solution. Grades can continuously increase and of course to the point where it is regulated as well since they are in a simulation.
All of them start at Grade 0 Cultivator and they could climb up to Grade 99 Cultivator, something which is absurdly impossible to achieve much less in this current game. And not to mention, their chi points were all metered bars, so that means they are unable to create miracles like how they could in actual combat but who knows? Maybe those miracles could appear with the use of upgrade cards like how the System bestowed one to Deng Long.
And more importantly, it is mainly due to the fact that they can finally target a population that had always been neglected despite being a silent majority: The commoners who did not have any cultivation powers to begin with. This would enable them to not only try to have a feel of being a cultivator but also experience combat as if they were in a dungeon instance. It was something that Jin had wanted for the commoners and dying to tap in that market for a very long time.
With this beta testing, he made sure that Qiu Yue advertised that even commoners (with less of the stereotype titles and names, just 'people without proper cultivation') were able to join for this beta testing although the priority will go to the cultivators mainly because of the battle that Jin needs experienced veterans.
But with this ahead, Jin might be looking at riches the moment he gets out of Synthesis World and makes it happen.
