As soon as they finished the conversation among themselves, it was enough rest from all the talking and thus Jin decided to start his Dark Sols Dungeon Instance series which he later dubbed it Dark Days Dungeon Series so it could be short formed as DDD Series or D3 Series.
Unlike the school instance and store instance where he had to be wary of the creation of the environment, this time around he did not need to. Jin asked the System to pick some random dark looking grassy knolls with surrounding cliffs and forest as the background. After all, this was the first portion of the series as it did not have to look that great.
What needs to be great was the enemies.
Jin had decided on the goal of using his minions which he had obtained from the start again to proceed with the start of this Dark Days Dungeon Instance. And so, the goblins were the first minions that they were going to fight.
Same thing as the Virtual Simulation as well as the previous few short dungeons instances, the cultivator's powers had been sealed. However, not all were sealed as opposed to what Jin had proposed earlier.
Instead, he was going to allow the cultivators to choose one particular technique be it just a simple technique or some ultimate technique, as long as it fulfilled the restriction of that particular dungeon instance, they can bring that one technique over. So for now, the restriction of the first Dark Days Dungeon would be that they could only bring one Grade 1 Technique with them.
It might not seem like much but both Jin and the System agreed that they had been too generous to the players recently that it became a playground for them when they came to the Dungeons and Pandas when by right, their goal was to try and cultivate themselves not only their skills but their experiences.
Therefore, this particular Dark Days Dungeon instance was meant to be a sort of training dungeon for those who wish to take their cultivation seriously. That was why initially, the duo thought of not allowing any techniques at all for the first stage but only through some deliberation, Jin decided against it mainly due to the fact that not many would be able to handle the toughness of such serious dungeon plays at all.
Instead, the System questioned if Jin would wish to put a free tutorial trial of the first dungeon of the DDD series. That way, there is finally something free that the customers could try and see if they wish to commit to this particular genre or not.
And if that's the case, they could put no techniques allowed for the tutorial trial. And as usual, Jin had decided to rely on the first three goblins he had caught, placing them in the very same battlefield environment that the System would be using for the first stage in the tutorial mode.
But compared to the dungeons that the cultivators had played, Jin was going for a more game like approach for this Dark Days Dungeon just as how Dark Sols was about learning the pattern, knowing how the fight will be, and gradually gaining the patience to defeat it.
He had noticed that most of the cultivators trained did not have such capability to fight. A lot of them would try to use ranged combat and later resort to melee when they find the winning edge. This was especially true when he saw them fight during the Virtual Reality Simulation in Synthesis World. While it was not wrong to do so, they were practically abandoning their techniques for a simpler fight. He had also noticed that most cultivators would not use their techniques unless it gave them a fighting edge.
Again, it was not wrong but that also meant that a lot of the techniques that had been transferred to them would be wasted. So Jin decided to try and change that with Dark Days Dungeons. For now, the first stage would be simple enough to use a Grade 1 Technique. But later in the series, he hopes to change the restrictions such as only being able to use a Grade 1 Technique movement skill.
That was the plan for the dungeon instance in the future, but he had to see the reaction of this particular dungeon first before testing other instances out. And as the System had said, Jin still had the Gentlebear instance that needed to be resolved so this particular dungeon's end reward would definitely have the keys as part of the rewards too.
"Ahhh ahhhh the cultivators would have a field trip with this. I think…" Jin had once again broken the record and managed to create a boss variant of his minion and finished the entire Dark Days Dungeon Series. While granted there was nothing lore inducing like Dark Sols, it was still meant to be a challenging dungeon that he believed that even most if not all of the Pandawans would enjoy.
"The System will once again do a few simulations to ensure that it is playable and able to be defeated. The Jin clone that had been given to us would be a good substitute for a player as its chi powers can dial up or down depending on how we want it to be." The System said and Jin squinted his eyebrows.
"You… what…? The Jinny clone?"
"Yes, the Jinny Clone as dubbed by you. It had been a useful play test dummy for the close quarter combat house fight along with a few other NPCs. And this would be equally an interesting demonstration since he had no idea what is going on within that Dark Days Dungeon Instance #1" The System replied.
"Okay, sure. Have fun with it and try not to break it. I am going to take a shower and head out for dinner. Did you choose the place?"
"Obviously Lynn's Amber Arbour. The place can be monitored and strictly no worry of information leaking out." The System stated as if it was an apparent choice and Jin shrugged his shoulders, thinking that the System might have somewhere else.
"Okay, tell me if our very first D3 Series is okay to be published." Jin said as he went off the Dungeon Maker.
