Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 1991: Martial Arts and Sports Competition

But even as Kong Rong had learned of the news, there was nothing that he could do at the moment. While he was thankful for what Jin had done especially after loaning Kraft to him, the Dungeon Supplier was merely helping one of his supposed Panda Clan subordinates especially when he did so much in the backlines.

Earning that 15 Million Euros was also partially due to Kong Rong's efforts. That was also the reason why Jin readily loaned Kraft to Kong Rong so that the matter could be seen to its completion and also as a thank you for aiding him to earn this fair sum into his pocket.

There were no doubt consequences to their actions, good or bad, Kong Rong had already given Jin the breakdown as they returned from the airport.

And to see the situation to be under control and finally under wraps, Kong Rong could focus on other things while Jin was able to start working on his other projects which he had sorely missed because of the business trip to Italy. One of them that needed urgent attention was the martial arts and sports competition instance.

So far, the martial arts portion has gone extremely well. The Martial artists and various cultivators were rather surprised by the realistic environment that they were placed in and while the environment played a very minor part in the fights, it was undoubtedly a highlight to them since the cultivators and martial artists always thought that they had to fight in a clean environment.

Of course, when they signed up for it, the rules and clauses had already stated that there would be differing environments as part of the obstacles placed. It might be an advantage or disadvantage to the martial artists, but this was the surprise that would be waiting for them as they awaited their turn.

Surely, there were people who stated that ceteris paribus should be the way to go but most of the audience preferred a more dynamic fight compared to the dull empty ring. And yes, a dull empty ring also meant that the fight would be focused on the martial artists though Jin had taken a look at the past videos of such martial artists' fights.

They were not as glamourised as he thought they would be. Most of them were using standard moves to win partially due to the rules and regulations that had been set. It was not a match where the gloves were off.

This was also why, the most important change in this particular series of fights was that the martial artists and cultivators were allowed to fight to the death mainly due to the fact that they were in a dimensional instance.

This instantly increased the number of participants mainly because of the removal of such rules and the use of more deadly moves were permitted. It was to the point where the interest in these fights went up significantly higher than in previous years. The announcement for the temporary abolishment of non killer moves by the Royal Zodiac Clans had given rise to foreigners interested in this.

They were also able to participate but there were limits imposed since this was mainly a competition to determine who could represent China.

Should the foreigners be able to reach to the semi finals or finals, they would be given a set amount of money and call it quits. It was unfair and might seem a little underhanded but a foreigner was not able to represent China.

Also, because of these 'killer moves' allowed, the interested audience came in droves, there were some who bought tickets for every single match and everyone was taking their phones to take videos of all the various fights so that they could upload them into their favourite social media. And to their pleasure, most of the fights were rather fierce and there were rarely any withdrawals.

What they did not know was that the System did a little 'Krafty' manipulation and gave them a little adrenaline boost if they were near death. A little bit of psycho manipulation was all that was needed to push everyone to fight to their fullest. That was also why the fights were interesting to watch and those who bought all the tickets had the blast of their lives.

At the same time, the Main Store instance was still able to accommodate everyone who came. From temporary lodging to food, the System and Jin provided everything under the sun, making this as much of a success as they could ever get. The experience that they had from the Pandastic Festival was the reason why the System was able to coordinate almost everything.

It did not take long for Jin to catch up and understand what the System was trying to do as it automated almost every process possible.

All Jin needed to do was to make sure that there were enough dungeon instance variations for the people and so far, he got lucky and did not use finish all of the extra variations. This meant that he could put people into bonus rounds if he really wanted. A so called second chance for those martial artists and cultivators who had lost.

Besides, who did not like an underdog?

That was why as automated as the processes were, the System still needed Jin's output and he returned just in time to perform this deed. (This was also why the System did not make any noise when Jin was out on his business trip because the System had already predicted and timed his return accordingly. If it was any longer, the System would have sounded off.)

So, with sufficient losers (unfortunately), Jin was able to make a poll based on the videos that the System had collated for the entire competition so far and allowed the audience to choose who should be deserving of a second chance.

He also allowed people who were not part of his audience to choose too but their votes were worth lesser as they did not pay like the audience did and only watched from the sidelines. However, he still enabled such interaction mainly due to the fact that tickets were always available since his dimensional instance could be enlarged for people to come in and watch the fight.

From front row seats to floating seats, as long as there were people buying the tickets, there was always a fresh set of rows for them to choose from until it had been fully occupied. Only then, Jin would release another set of seats for people to choose from.

Previously, the Dungeon Supplier valued quality views but as more people wanted to get a piece of the action, it was pretty obvious that this was the best opportunity to not just let the dungeon supplier grow, but also allow 'normal' people who were not always keen of dungeon suppliers to have a taste of his store.

This way, they might return not because of running dungeon instances but for the diversification of events that Jin had ensured to keep the dungeon supplier store and concept fresh in people's heads. In some way, it was to revolutionise how people look at dungeon supplier stores. (Well, perhaps only his store since the others were still lagging behind in terms of everything that Jin provides.)

That was why for the first time and perhaps in the future as well, he had compromised his initial values and opened as many seats as possible while also ensuring that everyone had a good view watching it.

If necessary, dynamic magnifying magic, a specialty of the System that almost no one in the world was able to follow, was used along with their seats to provide an exciting experience that new Pandarens could not foresee.

This goes the same for the sports competition as well.

Rules such as the use of chi was strictly forbidden and with the System being the referee, they were surprised that many athletes had been given a warning card for 'unintentionally using chi." Those warning cards were given rather than immediate expulsion because the System and Jin knew that in the real world where there were circumstances where there were too many unintentional uses of chi and it was hard for the judges to catch in the heat of the action and the players or competitors could be found arguing with the referees and judges.

This is not the case for Jin's dimensional instance and it instantly became a hit to all the judges as well as those who adhere to the rules of the sports. Sure, there was a bit of variation and some increased difficulty due to the changes in the usual environment they had to compete, but the competitors who worked hard found themselves finally on a levelled playing field with the rest.

There was no need to cheat anymore.

It was truly a brand new eye opener for competing athletes who had been complaining that the best of the best had been 'doping' with chi to win the competition. For this is the most fair playing field that they could ever get.
