Chapter 167 1st Month Ranking
It had been a few days since the aggressive promotion of the Reservoir of Deep Fishing Service Instance mainly via word of mouth and the Pandamonium app that now had over seven hundred cultivators using it.
Jin thought that this was an impressive feat considering he had only opened the store for almost a month. The days and nights were long, but he had finally passed the first hurdle that brought down many shops. Jin figured that he should offer some sort of discount to celebrate one month of opening, which unexpectedly coincided with him serving one thousand different customers. Maybe he should advertise the discount... maybe not.
Although shops that had high-quality goods did not necessarily need to advertise as people would naturally flock to them, advertising would bring the store in question up a notch especially when the said store was still young. Not to mention the lack of a Shop Signage. For the past few days, he had been tweaking the Sanctum of Worlds since he had created it in a slight rush. Right now, the Sanctum of Worlds had direct access to the other three service instances that Jin had made.
Jin figured that these instance connections allowed the monsters to use the facilities to improve themselves as well as take a rest after working the entire day. This also allowed other monsters to mingle together so that they could get to know each other a little more. Jin thought of doing this to take advantage of the system's ability to allow the monsters to have a better quality of living.
Of course, he had also placed interconnections between various Home Instances of the different monsters but each retained their right to privacy. If one monster wished to enter to another Home Instance they would need the permission of at least one monster from the instance they wanted to visit.
Also, guess which home instance was the most popular? The prestock Home Instance that was made for the zombies. Almost every monster entered their Home Instance just to have a little fun on the broken down rides and the zombies were also kind enough to let them play.
Talking about broken rides, Jin heard from Yun that there was an incident just a day ago where a roller coaster had derailed while travelling up the chain hill. A third of the coaster train fell from the tracks and crashed into the ground, causing the zombies on the ride at the moment to be squashed.
Fortunately, those zombies were instantly resurrected by the system and were teleported to the front of their Home Instance. The cause of the crash was not a malfunction though, but it was the caused by one particular monster who tried to ride it. Due to what had happened, it was unanimously agreed by every monster that he was forbidden to touch that ride ever again.
This monster who had wrecked the roller coaster was none other than Mr Derpy, who could leap higher than the roller coaster but instead tried to fit his whole body into the roller coaster. He was thinking that if Shu and Mr Oink had not broken the ride when they went on it, he would also be able to enjoy this simple looking roller coaster. However, Jin knew that the roller coasters were actually programmed to break every once in a while, hence the theme of a broken down amusement park. Regardless, it was ironically funny to see such a great being being bullied by the smaller sized monsters.

"Welcome Boss! Buying new armour for yourself?" The red panda, who was one of the 'saleswomen' at the Panda Armoury, asked Jin politely as it jumped onto his shoulders and rubbed against his cheek. Jin smiled as he stroked the red panda's head. Meanwhile, Jin's digital pet appeared too and sat firmly on his head.
"Nah, to be honest, I am looking for armour for some of my monsters," Jin said and the Red Panda immediately categorised the type of armour suitable for his monsters. The store's filled shelves that were meant to be a time waster for most shoppers here instantly shuffled and reorganised themselves to show Jin what was recommended for his monsters.
"Thank you Red Panda, but I am afraid I am only browsing for ideas and inspiration for my own creations." Jin patted the Red Panda repeatedly.
"Why are you looking to buy armour for them?" Yun asked as she came into the Panda armoury, yawning since it was early in the morning before the Sun had even risen.
"I am looking to do some dungeon takeovers. Either that or Shifu Zeru's training. However, the more I thought about what I should do, the more I think I should get the shop's sign up as soon as possible. I mean, even regular customers like Jing Ru and Xiong Da had asked for the shop's name and I haven't given them a proper answer."
"Didn't you already name it Dungeons and Pandas? Blah, this is so off-topic, what do dungeon takeovers have to do with- Oh...Armour for your monsters." It seemed that Yun without her Black Ivory Coffee in the morning had made her thinking rather dull too.
Jin could have bought the armour items with dungeon dollars but he figured he would look at the prices first and instead try to replicate some of the armour with the Dungeon Maker. He figured it might be slightly cheaper and he could also add in modifications that would fit the monsters rather than human cultivators.
"Hmmm, if only the other monsters had the same kind of upgrades like the goblins used to have. Remember? They had new weapons and armour when all of them reached Grade 2. Even now they are using them, especially against higher ranked cultivators." Jin sighed as he admitted that he had not been doing many missions because of the many loose ends he had to handle that had presented themselves due to all the decisions he had made in past missions.
"If that's the case, I can help you out." Yun snapped her fingers and yawned once more as if she wanted to join the Morning Couch Club with Milk and Peppers. A notification appeared on Jin's phone and stated the following:
"Congratulations from the System, Dungeon Supplier. The monthly rankings have been released and the System is pleased to inform you that you have advanced through the ranks. Please come to the Dungeon Maker to receive your rewards."
"Monthly Ranking? Oh...yes, you did mention before, that the level that I attained as a dungeon supplier was different from the Store Ranking." Jin commented as he gently put the Red Panda back down as he headed for the Dungeon Maker.
"1st Month Ranking: 840,199 Placing. You have closed the gap to the position of being the Number One Dungeon Supplier. Please receive your rewards and continue to work hard as a Dungeon Supplier."
"How does someone become number one?" Jin knew it was a bit of a stupid question but he just had to ask. Obviously, it had to do with either fame or the number of customers he served or perhaps it was the largest amount of money contributed to the system.
"There are a few criteria to it. Reach the maximum level for Dungeon Suppliers. Earn a larger daily revenue turnover than the current number one dungeon supplier. These are the few criteria which you need to achieve but you are still too far behind to know the exact conditions and statistics. Continue to complete the missions. They will enable you to reach Number One." The system showed the information on its interface and Jin was deep in thought for a moment.
"I have also tweaked your preferences in missions and replaced them with more 'humane' ones. Please complete your missions." The system replied once more.
"What is the profit turnover rate for the number one ranking?" Jin questioned the system and the system gave a vague answer. "The top twenty rankings have a daily revenue of at least millions of dungeon dollars."
"How the hell can I even compete with that?!" Jin thought to himself "Millions?! And that's in dungeon dollars too?! How was he going to even get a thousand dungeon dollars for himself." Jin thought to himself as he cracked his head. He either had to charge unconscionable prices or he had to diversify his business.
"Proceed slowly. There is no rush for you to get there at the moment. Things will be revealed to you sooner or later and there is no time limit for you to get there." Yun scratched her head and pressed a button in the dungeon maker to reveal the rewards to Jin.
"It's actually not much, but it should help you out in the armour and weapons department," Yun said as a new table mystically appeared in the Dungeon Maker.
