Chapter 1218 – PandaVerse
"Hey Jin, looks like you are finally out of the closet." Kong Rong said as he personally paid a visit to Jin's store. He was invited to one of the premium carriages of the Restaurant Train Instance.
"You could say you have a hand in this matter too." Ke Loong commented as he poured a glass of beer to Kong Rong.
"Hey Bro. You know I cannot drink during work time." Kong Rong said as he frowned a little towards his buddy.
"Loosen up a bit. You can always drink your beloved wife's tea back in the car. Just one with us to celebrate the occasion. Besides, you and I know this is one of your favourites. I purposely went all the way to a nearby supermarket to get it!" Ke Loong said as he pat Kong Rong's back.
"Well, that nearby supermarket is merely a few floors down. And the NPC assistants could even get it for you free of charge." Kong Rong remarked as he picked up the glass and chugged it down.
"Thanks for coming to this fairly impromptu meeting. And once again, thank you Kong Rong. If not for you, I probably might not be able to come out of the Symposium alive." Jin nodded his head and drank along with them.
"You got to thank your new pretty girlfriend. She was the one who was pulling all the strings from the back. If not for her, I probably would not be of much use." Kong Rong said as he raised his glass towards Lynn.
"Please, Kong Rong. Your team has been such a great help. If not for them, I would not be able to make heads or tails of the situation." Lynn refused the compliment as she asked her peggies to serve the meal.
"Welp, they are next door having the blast of their life eating the premium choices for an unlimited time tonight. If none of them are drunk, none of them are going home. That is more to thank for the encouragement and reward you had given to my team." Kong Rong said and Jin instantly looked at Lynn.
"You are footing the bill for pushing all the work to us." Lynn poked Jin when their eyes locked and the boyfriend nodded his head reluctantly.
"Now that the exchange of gratitudes is out of the way. Jin, your plans?" Kong Rong asked since he needed to keep a closer eye on Jin's actions especially after the entire few days' worth of media fiasco. Various clans not excluding the Royal Zodiacs were asking the Dragon Clan for more information on Jin and his Royal Zodiac roots. Some even asked if he was even the original descendant but most of the questions were taken care of swiftly with Kong Rong's grandmother making an official statement.
People can doubt the truth, half truths and fabricated truths in the media but no one can deny the reputation, prestige and most importantly the standing of the record keeper in the Royal Zodiac Dragon Clan. With her announcement stating that Jin's was indeed the last descendent of the Royal Zodiac Panda Clan, it quickly solidified his position to be the official clan leader of the 13th Royal Zodiac.
Obviously, some people in fact, a large number of people were unhappy with the emergence of a new Royal Zodiac Clan. Twelve of such clans had already taken the bulk of China's economy under their control after a long exhausting political tussle among themselves. And now with Jin's clan popping out of nowhere, they were not willing to excuse themselves to give the newcomer any space.
But with Jin's track record of beating the Royal Zodiac Rat Clan's triad boss, and even causing the sons of the Tiger Clan to be in hospital for two whole weeks, the other clans knew the Panda Clan came out in the open prepared. Still, being prepared to be in the open and lasting long enough through the years would be a different issue.
And that was what they were about to discuss today. Jin's creation of Panda Inc would be the most ideal way of standing up against the major clans and their corporations. Naturally, he would like to have everything concentrated on the Tree Mall since he could make nearly an unlimited amount of instances, housing people and companies all at the same time, and thus enabling the Tree Mall to be an ecosystem that can survive by itself without relying on any external sources.
Even though he had the Virtual Reality business all set up, he was thinking of expanding what he had in Pandapolis like the farming sector to complement it. This was because he wanted technology and entrepreneurs to grow under his wing like how Yu Xiang, the daughter of the local Chinese Medicine store recreating potions the System had bought in the black market.
Right now, with her formula and the subsequent refined versions were selling like hotcakes within Jin's dungeon store as well as in the black market. Obviously, the production had gone large scale with Pandapolis' industrial sector at hand. So, it was the same concept he wished to apply for other sectors, hoping they could create something unique or special, giving Jin the edge over his competitors.
However, Ke Loong had told JIn to stay grounded and not to be too ambitious. "Even if you have all those ideals, those things would not work without talents, manpower, resources and time."
"Technically, he has already had all of those. But what Ke Loong says is true. Timing is important, if you show all your cards in one go and at the wrong time, you won't make much."
"That's why the event that you are going to show is important. Continue to focus on your dungeon supplier job. I remember you told us about the Farming World or something like that, right? You are going to do some big invasion. Do that and in the sidelines, promote your virtual reality as a prototype. My company would then hype it up from there. By the way, any name for the event yet? If not, I would like to recommend some ideas." Ke Loong rambled on as he munched on the delicious food the moment the peggies placed it down on the table.
"I do. Sweet and easy. It's PandaVerse 1..0" Jin said and the rest looked as if they were stifling their giggles with food.
