Chapter 1326: Shopping After Recovery
Even though the Great Demon Rat War had been the main attraction for the PandaVerse Festival, the Pandarens had started to look into the other events that made the PandaVerse Festival possible.
And one of them was the physical promotional store that the Pandawans were walking to. All of them noticed how the end of the normal shop streets in their assigned store island instance had been transformed into a list of stalls, something like an Asian night market. The only problem was that there was no one around and the NPCs were merely talking to each other as if they were alive.
Once they noticed that the Pandawans had come to visit the stalls, they greeted them loudly before returning back to their stores knowing that this was the chance for them to earn some extra Panda Coins. (Or from the Pandawans' perspective, to use their raid points.)
Bu Dong was a little disappointed upon learning that it was just a regular night market and was not expecting much, however, the smell of certain snacks made him change his mind. Even the others, who initially wanted to eat first eventually passed the chance because of Bu Dong's insistence, had their feelings placated by the fact that they could snack on the various items that were available in this particular night market.
From sticks of black mountain pork sausage to fried sweet potatoes and bubble tea, there was a crazy assortment of food items for them to pick and choose from. Bu Dong had also decided to take the opportunity to eat on it and window shop around the place.
And when he looked around, he realised that there were only photographs of the items they were selling with the price tags attached to them. "Lol, that stall owner said that he is selling mechanical golems, something like our Robots but smaller in size and a little less responsive." Deng Long said as he caught up with Bu Dong who was looking at pictures of machine guns.
"Boss, do we need to buy them first or we can try them out before buying?" Bu Dong asked the machine gun stall owner and the red panda owner sighed a little.
"Are you able to see the item when you buy them from the online store?" The red panda questioned back and Bu Dong scratched his head thinking that this would be a tough negotiation until the Red Panda Owner loosened his expression and told him to follow his store assistant while he continued to take care of the shop front.
"Put your hand out." The Red Panda Assistant said and the moment both the two Pandawans extended their hands, the Red Panda placed his on theirs, causing them to teleport to a small instance and a hologram containing all those machine guns were shown to them.
"Holy shit, these are modern machine guns, not like the ones they sold on the online store." Deng Long, who was a policeman, had some knowledge of these guns and he knew that they were impossible to get since they were restricted. "Do you have approved permits on these weapons?" He asked with a concerned expression to the store assistant and the red panda quickly clapped his paws, instantly popping up a stack of papers right in front of him.
Deng Long picked up the papers and investigated using his phone's internal police app as well. "Holy shit, this checked out, even the licence applications. I know that we are in a dungeon instance but to be able to supply this many restricted modern guns for dungeon instances when he barely opened for a year… What kind of dungeon supplier Boss Jin is?"
"You should know by now he is no ordinary guy." Bu Dong literally 'lol' at him before looking at the array of guns on the hologram.
"Yea but this is beyond ordinary! From what I heard, only the super rich dungeon suppliers were able to obtain such licences and they were only able to hold at most five due to the complicated paperwork involved. To have an array of modern guns and have it as a wholesale product is beyond my comprehension." Deng Long said but Bu Dong was already ignoring him and selected a gun through the hologram. The red panda assistant then howled while raising his arms and the selected modern gun, a Tavor X96 bullpup assault rifle.
"Then we should be able to use them without feeling guilty then." Bu Dong said as a new red panda assistant appeared with a black helmet popped down from the ceiling and clapped his hands, creating a gun range right in front of the customers.
Deng Long sighed and told the red panda assistant that he would assist Bu Dong with his try out which the assistants agreed since they knew his occupation as a policeman. "I have always wanted to correct your stance but never had the time to do so since we are always in battle. Do not hold your gun this way, place it firmly close to your shoulders, it will withstand the recoil and allow for better shots."
And after a few rounds of firing, both Bu Dong and Deng Long decided to take the X96 rifles to augment their firepower against the Demon Rats. With their sponsored tickets, they were able to buy them for less than 60% of the price since they were eligible for such discounts. The licence application for them to be the rifle owners (within Jin's dungeon instance) was almost done in a blink of an eye as the Red Pandas only required their signature and verbal approval. (After all, the System had all their details as disgusting as it sounds.)
With the rifle purchases done, they quickly got out of the temporary store instance and went to the Mechanical Golems as they believed that was the only thing that could overpower the Demon Rat General.
As for the rest? They were shopping like mad as the Night Market was filled with hidden gems that they would not expect to find in the online stores or their usual hangouts. It was as if Jin was purposely holding out on these items for sale just for the PandaVerse festival.
And as aptly the place had been named, it's called the Hidden Gem Night Market.
