Chapter 275 Restaurant Service Instance
"Wow, Yun, I admire your tenacity. I did not expect you to open the shop this quickly after yesterday's incident." Luo Bo greeted Yun as she entered the Shop Level One instance. "Not to mention that you guys are even opening up a new Restaurant Service Instance in the evening as compensation. I am honestly impressed." Jin and the System had posted an announcement in the Pandamonium that a brand new service instance would be introduced in the evening and apologised for the shop closure on the previous day.
"Well, same goes to you. I could not believe you were that daring to fight against those Japanese cultivators." Yun complimented Luo Bo's guts and thanked her for help rendered.
"Meh, I've been through worse when I was younger. Those thugs were tough but not scary. Besides, I finally get to use some of those arrows that I bought from the basement shop. I did not know of its usefulness until that day. I was also equally surprised Jia Le could make her barrier spell work that way too. Perhaps our group should utilise her even more." Luo Bo grinned as she said.
"Anyways, what time is this Restaurant Service Instance opening? I am starving." Luo Bo complained, since she did not feel like doing any dungeoneering at the moment. The other customers were the same. Many were waiting for the new service instance to appear. If the quality of food turns out to be similar to what they had eaten in the shop up until now, they would love to see what kind of food would be served in this new Restaurant Instance.
"Only you alone? What about the others?" Yun wondered since usually Luo Bo came in with her boyfriend or as a whole group.
"Don't worry, they wouldn't miss it. You know, with something as popular as your shop. Especially when you made that announcement, they had decided to send me as the representative to book the place in advance. We are giving this service instance a try, similar to the Pandas Muscles and Fishing Instance. Although Shi Zhuo did not like the fishing instance as much as I did, I had fun laughing at him failing, and it was pretty memorable." Luo Bo replied with glee on her face.
"To each their own. But trust me everyone will want to try out this new service instance. I would advise you guys, to prepare more money in the future because this Restaurant Instance might change how things work around here." Yun said with a smirk of confidence.
"Oh? Then what about the Panda Credits? Are they not usable anymore? I mean I understand if you are going to focus on the restaurant, but it is also a pity that you have almost nothing on the menu in the Bar Island at the moment except for onigiris and drinks. Even the Triple cheese pizza is gone." Luo Bo commented.
"There will be the possibility to order some quick bites in the Restaurant Instance. However, you are not the one only who gave such feedback. Others shared the same opinion as you. We will definitely look into it and prepare to serve more varieties of quick bites at this Bar Island in the future. But for today, we don't want you guys to spoil your appetite, so we are only serving onigiris and drinks here." Yun apologised to Lu Bo, who shook her head.
"With regards to your Panda Credits, we will be exchanging them to Panda Medals as a sign of gratitude for staying and choosing Dungeons and Pandas as your preferred Dungeon Supplier. Besides, judging from the gathered feedback, we feel that multiple currencies simply seem to confuse most customers, especially the new ones. Therefore, we have decided, that it is in the best interest to reduce the number of items to keep track of." Yun explained.
"Not true, your Pandamonium App is so well made that it tracks almost everything easily. I mean it even has integration with the major apps such as MeChat, which makes it really convenient for me to not switch any apps around. I appreciate this kind of convenience." Luo Bo defended which some other customers overheard and they agreed to it too.
"But not to worry though, we will be handing out digital food coupons in exchange for the Panda Credits every time you choose to buy dungeon tickets from us. But if you wish to purchase additional food, I am afraid you will need to pay with money because of the ingredients used." Yun had been informed of the changes by Jin in advance before the opening of the Restaurant Service Instance.
"Nah, it's okay. I find it hard to believe that you have been charging almost nothing for your fantastic food. Though I do believe there will be some criticism from the public. At least those who like to eat will be able to eat as much as they want now and it will probably make people buy more of it in the future if they have the option. Also, I assume the people that are presently here are looking forward to the opening of the Restaurant Instance and are also not bothered too much about the lack of variety of food currently being served. Please keep up the good work Yun and Jin…." Luo Bo replied back with a gentle smile, only to realise that Jin was missing.
"Speaking of which, where is Jin? Is he hiding in some Pandracula castle putting on his odd panda costume? Or is he consuming the blood of the damsel he rescued?" Luo Bo remembered she was startled to see Jin with Zhen Qing at the warehouse. It was only until Yun explained to her that Zhen Qing had a one time teleportation earring.
"Do you mean Qiu Yue?" Bin Yong teleported in just now, when he partially overheard the conversation between Luo Bo and Yun.
"Bin Bin! Who is this Qiu Yue!? I was talking about Zhen Qing." Luo Bo came up to her long time friend and gave him a friendly hug from the back.
"Ahhh, Luo Bo! You do not get sick of this, do you?" Bin Yong was a bit conscious as usual, but he wasn't as bothered as before after he got together with his now girlfriend. Jia Le, who was at his side did not mind her too much since she knew Luo Bo's behaviour.
"You are our one and only Bin Bin. A blood brother to us." Luo Bo smiled as she pulled his ear. "Now, who is this Qiu Yue person? Quickly tell me, else I am totally shipping Boss and Zhen Qing to be together." Luo Bo teased.
"Ahhhhhh! Boss was fighting in a random battle arena match the other day. He was with this girl called Qiu Yue. I managed to take a picture of it with my phone because I was amazed by that girl's match with this new monster we have never met before." Bin Yong hurried to answer. To rescue his ear, he took out his phone and showed it to Luo Bo.
"Ah! This is the first time I have heard of this! Why did you not tell me about this sooner!" This time, Jia Le pouted and pulled on Bin Yong's other ear. "I would like to see this pretty girl of Boss too."
"Heh heh, looks like Boss is a bit of a player eh!" Luo Bo playfully twisted Bin Yong's ear which made him feel even more miserable than when she heard Jia Le complaining.
"I honestly think Jin is just too good natured." Yun knew that Jin did not think that way for both of these girls, but Luo Bo was a troublemaker til the end.
"Oh? Yun, do you have the hots for Jin too?" Luo Bo gave a cheeky smile before she noticed a metal round tray flying towards her and hitting her on the head before Bin Yong could grab it in time. If it were other customers, they would probably file a complaint.
"Don't be nonsensical." Yun sneered, and Luo Bo repeatedly apologised to Yun before the group saw Jin teleporting into the shop instance, appearing in his silly Pandracula costume.
"The reveal is nigh!" Jin flipped his cape, and the entire shop instance had its lights turned off. The customers suddenly saw multiple spotlights flying all over the shop instance, and rolling drum noises were heard, increasing everyone's level of excitement.
Jin with the help of Peppers from his phone shot a blast of fireworks in the direction of the north west, where most of the service instances were located, right beside Auditorium Five and Six. The spotlights immediately shined at one particular spot and the drum rolls ended with a gong of a cymbal.
"Behold! The Restaurant Train of Delicacy Service instance!" Pandracula Jin shouted and declared the new opening of a new service instance.
"Too dramatic. System will take note for future reference of this." The System said in Jin's thoughts as he helped to usher the excited customers into the new restaurant instance.
"Lynn, customers are coming in, and they seem as hungry as a pack of wolves." Jin informed her in his mind, which took Lynn by surprise, before she naturally replied back with the aid of the System.
"Understood, Boss." A straightforward reply to Jin, but when Lynn turned back to look at her penguins, she jumped up on the kitchen table and clapped her hands to ask for attention. (It's unhygienic, but the kitchen instance made everything sterile, including her shoes.) All the penguins stopped what they were doing and gazed at her.
"Peggies! Time to show these customers that Lynn's Peggies can outmatch those pandas!!" Lynn roared and the penguins squeaked in unison!
