Chapter 1659 Daimon Aftermath -Part 8
Previously on that Spiny Lizard, the Pandarens eventually managed to beat it and they decide to go deeper to find that that Spiny Lizard had a brother and sister called Spiny Lizardmens…and Lizardwoman?
They had no idea how the System or System console had managed to name these monsters but it felt like Jin had a hand in naming such monsters since they never had good names to begin with. "At least it was rather descriptive of the monster so I do not think its an issue." One of the Pandarens said.
They found out that those Spiny lizardmen and women were monsters they will encounter repeatedly as they go down the dungeon entrances as the different groups of Pandarens continued to push through it, only to realised it's a labyrinth in there.
Just after three floors, they realised that going any deeper would be suicide with the type of gear they were carrying since they kept being killed by a variant Spiny Lizardman who not only fought them with swords and axes but there were archers with them too.
The Pandarens assumed that sooner or later, they would have to fight Spiny Lizardmen riding on Spiny Lizards and their powers would not be sufficient. Not to mention, they also needed to carry back the loots as they found out that even normal minions were worth something. They still do not recognise which part of the monster was the most valuable so for now, the successful group of Pandaren who managed to reach the third floor had decided to backtrack and return to the first and second floor where they collected the corpses of the bosses as well as a few minions but they were already stretching it.
When the most successful group of Pandarens returned, they also realised they were the first as well. This made the resource workers who were waiting at side for their business to be extremely surprised by the amount of loot they brought back.
"Usually, most people carried only the head as well as the power stone that embedded inside them. If they cannot take out the power stone, they would at least bring the portion of monster back that has the power stone in it… But you guys carried the entire body back." The resource workers said.
"Is that a bad thing, the Pandaren leader asked but the resource workers shook their heads. In fact they were happy."
"We do not usually get the whole corpse so it's a good training exercise for the apprentices as well. Not to mention, if we are very skilled, it will definitely yield more materials."
"Does that mean the value of the corpse I have is based on the skill of the salvager?"
"Sadly yes. Unless you wished to salvage it yourself, then the price of the materials you get is based on the salvager too. Considering how the interim Leader had made dungeon raiding mandatory, the skill of salvagers would undoubtedly increase. It's a lucrative trade that has the potential to grow based on what the Interim Leader had proposed." The resource worker said and he was trying to get more apprentice under him as well. After all, whatever the apprentice earn, he got a small tiny commission.
"Its okay, we will let you do it. Most of us are already exhausted trying to raid the place."
"Then I apologise in advance." The salvager said and the Pandaren Leader nodded his head. After paying the standard fee to salvage, the Pandarens would head to the infirmary or the food canteen to have some rest. And only after their meal, they found out that more and more Pandarens were coming out of the dungeons and the salvagers were packed with work. The leader was lucky he had managed to come out first and seeing how this is, he too understood the rationale why the Salvager asked if they wish to learn the trait themselves.
With the entire city being conscripted to do Dungeon Raiding, all the ancillary supports like salvagers, chefs and even logistic workers are in dire need in a progressive way and the Diamondz Corps had already started to create even more Worker Mechanoids to assist with the progression. Without being said, these jobs were also open to the Pandarens if they wish to partake in and they were given simulation coins like part time jobs.
To some people who were watching from the sidelines found it weird some people want to do this kind of part time job. What they do not know is that all these works and part time job gives not only simulation coins but also increase their job levels. There were job titles being dished out and they suspect that this would give the cultivators additional stats in the future. Maybe even a secret job will appear.
Meanwhile to some, it felt really fun to do something they could not do in the real world and whats more was that the simulation coins is a currency that was floating in the Panda Stock Market. This meant that through several exchanges no matter how inefficient it was, there could be some real cashback.
But if things do go well and Jin followed how Virtual Reality Novels go, there might be a chance auctions will appear and there is where the big money comes from. For now, people were just trying whatever job, role and dive in as deep as they could to see if they were able to unlock anything special. In the meantime for some, it's a relaxation game, not knowing that there were still hundreds waiting outside wanting to try this beta programme.
This does show that Virtual Reality game can be extremely profitable so Qiu Yue and the System had already started ramping up the amount of resources into this. At the same time, the temporary boss of Dungeons and Pandas are also looking to expand by building several VR only shops in Shenzhen. Hopefully, if this trend does pick up, other provinces would have the same capabilities and a true VR MMOPRG can happen.
