Chapter 1658 Daimon Aftermath -Part 7
The battlefield which included the entrapment of the Metal Ogres where a cage had been placed on them to remove all the oxygen so that they would not die a peaceful death had been reported to be clear of all signs of life.
Those Metal Ogres were truly dead and the mines in the area had been deactivated and removed as well. That was also where Jin had decided to designate a living space for his long term tourists. Money had been poured in to start constructing one of the highest housing buildings in Daimon City and it was used to house the long term tourists in the future. In contrast with most of the high rise buildings that Daimon City had, the towering construct was planned to be more than 200 floors as Jin had decided to let a huge chunk of cultivators stay here and protect Daimon if needed.
The rest of the Pandarens who were unable to get housing would have to wait until Mount Sunn City was fully constructed by Archduke Dyke. (Old Flammet was screaming and shouting at Dyke without care of rank as they both wanted different things for Mount Sunn but that is for another day to talk about.)
However, planning is just one phase. The other phase is to ensure that they have the materials to do so and that would be dungeon raiding. If the Pandarens want to have a cheaper house they have to contribute to the materials.
So as mentioned since the battlefield had been cleared, the Pandarens were the first after the monster outbreak to attempt to enter dungeons within Daimon City. When they were there, they saw those soldiers and mechanoids had already been deployed around the dungeons as a precaution for future intrusions.
The dungeon entrances had temporarily been fenced up with mobile installations. It was a makeshift setup until the military had the resources and budget to put up a solid wall that could defend the dungeon entrance.
And for the fact that Jin was going to nationalise the dungeon resources, a proper military gateway to the dungeon entrance was needed to ensure the goods once brought out from the dungeon entrance would be handed over to the military immediately.
Points and gold would be given accordingly so that the effort taken to get those items would be properly compensated. That was also why Jin had asked the military to put up these checkpoints. It was not to just defend but to act as an outpost in the future.
People would come in to report their duties for dungeon raiding and the outpost would provide the basic necessities to ensure that the transfer of goods and the well being of those who raid would be taken care of.
Thus in the current makeshift outpost, there were resource workshops for salvaging items, a medical triage in case of injuries, a canteen to provide food, a repair workshop to repair gears as well as a popup van by Diamondz Corp to sell gear. Thus, all the outposts that Jin had requested to be set up had all these facilities and only when those outposts were properly set up and that was when the Pandarens could enter the dungeons.
So, the only current dungeon that had all these was the southern one since there were no outbreaks from there and there was no clearing of monsters. When the temporary outpost was set up, the Pandarens were already queuing to get in.
Daimon Citizens who were about to start their first day at work at the outpost travelled to the outpost by a military truck and they were surprised that the Pandarens were patiently queuing outside the outpost for them to start the day.
And once they were in, most of them carried their basic equipment into the dungeon entrance without checking the outpost. Only some who were deemed to be hungry started off with some bread and they got into the dungeon entrance when they had registered and got clearance from the military officers.
To the Pandarens, it was funny how the Virtual Reality simulated the real world where people who wished to hunt monsters or even explore dungeons needed a valid pass as well as a certain grade. But right now, there were no grade requirements which gave the cultivators an impression that it would be an easy dungeon.
Oh boy, how wrong they were.
The first group that went in encountered a huge spiny lizard.? It looked like an ordinary large Komodo lizard with poison dripping from its mouth but if one were to look carefully, it did not have just one spine but multiple spines, allowing it to have a very strong tail despite the hunchback that it had. One swipe and poof, almost every single Pandaren who got hit by it would be logged out, failing the dungeon on the spot.
And those who thought they survived the attack by moving away from its range, were also wrong as its hunchback was like a spring, allowing the tail to extend even further and hit it, causing them to log out too. Thankfully. they had a chance to replay if they had not died for the day but the third death would be back to the queuing lines for the VR pod.
Surprisingly even a need to queue, the waiting time was actually very short. Most of the cultivators enjoyed that they could spend a few hours in the game and when they came out, the time hardly changed.
At first, it was a scare for the Pandarens who were queuing for it, wondering why their game time was that short, thinking the difficulty was extremely hard. But when they entered, they realised they could stay in there for a long time before coming out to see that the time they spent was minuscule.
So, as much as they wished to fault Jin for not finishing the previous promises, this beta test where they were in a city and also trying the dungeon had been a blast to them especially the commoners who never had the chance to experience such real and crazy adventures.
