Chapter 172 Dungeon Reviews

The handling of the store could not get any harder, especially since Jin was actually looking forward to the end of the day. The coupon booklets had been handed out to the customers and most of them thought that it was just the regular coupon booklet that the Tiangong Shopping District handed out every month.

Usually, most customers did not really care about the coupon booklets unless they were released around festive seasons like the Lunar New Year or Christmas. That was also the reason why Shen Si Fang, the community head of the Tiangong Shopping District's owners, wanted to use Jin as a pulling factor to draw in more business in the new month of October.

Si Fang did not worry much about November because with the advent of 11 November the Singles Day and Black Friday were enough to encourage everyone to go on a massive shopping craze. Not to mention, December had Christmas… The gold mine for business.

Fortunately, the day did pass by without too much trouble and Jin even had new customers coming in because of the coupon advertisement. He was pleasantly surprised that such an old method of advertising still worked with the mobile technology age they were in. What saddened Jin was that no one had yet decided to participate in the sure win lucky draw, which Jin was excited about and had put a lot of effort into.

In order to participate in the sure win lucky draw, one had to spend at least 50 Yuan in the shopping district and show the corresponding coupon and receipt to Jin in order to participate in the lucky draw. "I guess it's just the first day, can't expect too much out of it." Jin thought to himself as he closed the shop slightly earlier that day. Yun had said that she and the system would take care of the mess once she briefed Jin, his bellators, and monsters on what they need to do for the dungeon takeover.

Jin entered the Sanctum of Worlds and asked everyone to gather at the werebeasts' mansion since they had the largest amount of space and could accommodate everyone in their farm fields.

"Everyone, listen up. We are going to do a Dungeon Takeover and the system has already chosen a potential dungeon for Jin to take over. We are not taking some deserted and dangerous dungeon because Jin does not have the experience. Instead, the system has chosen the Subterranean Fortress of the Roleplaying Minotaurs." Yun announced to everyone with a loud hailer megaphone.

Jin had seen and checked the dungeon stats for the Subterranean Fortress of the Roleplaying Minotaurs via the system. Apparently, the Dungeon World had a thing called Dungeon Reviews, which was a local search service powered by a crowd sourced review forum. Hence, Jin looked up the Subterranean Fortress of Roleplaying Minotaurs when the system had suggested that particular dungeon to him.

While having a silly name, it was a fairly popular dungeon and a number of adventurers liked to take part in it mainly because the minotaurs in the dungeon protected a large vein of high density gold that could be exchanged for a lot of dungeon dollars.

The minotaurs themselves roleplayed into various characters because their minotaur lord, Moloch, was a higher demon that wanted to try out various jobs but never had the chance to because of his nobility and prestige in the demon hierarchy along with his demanding workload. Hence, in order to make his various dreams come true, the jobs that he fantasised about were projected by his minions.

This meant that most of the minotaurs under the service of Moloch were in some sort of roleplay costume basically 24/7. Initially, the minotaurs found the idea ridiculous but decided to play along with their lord. Subsequently, the majority of the minotaurs were so absorbed in perfecting their disguises that they started to pick up on the skills related to their disguises.

While there were not many details about the various cosplaying minotaurs, most of the adventurers had reviewed the dungeon as being rather challenging but rewarding at the same time. "Killing a costumed minotaur will net you 10 to 50 dungeon dollars, which is extremely generous when compared to other dungeons. However, as you travel deeper into the underground fortress the monsters become harder and harder to beat," said Reviewer Cashploxx, who was one of the Dungeon Reviewers that had commented on the dungeon.

What intrigued Jin the most was the next paragraph of the review written by Cashploxx. "A small party is not recommended to go further than the Second Gate of the fortress and I would even suggest a large raid party of at least 25 people before entering the Third Gate of the fortress. I was one of the few fortunate ones that entered in a large raid party of up to 50 people and we managed to fight against Lord Moloch. His attacks became rather repetitive after we got used to them and that made him predictable but we still did not manage to kill it until a highly skilled strike force that had been waiting to ambush and KS (killsteal) the boss brought it down."

"While frustrated, they were kind enough to share 90% of the tribute with the rest of the 50 members. We were rather angry but gave in eventually since we knew we would not have been able to kill the Lord without them." Upon reading, Jin learnt that kill stealing did happen in the dungeons and asked Yun how it worked and if she could stop it.

She said that she would notify Jin when any other people came close since the system could detect intruders and warn him about it. "The system will take all measures so that you can complete the mission smoothly. The reviewer Cashploxx might have gotten lucky and got 90% of the tribute but not everyone in the dungeon world is as fortunate as them. Hence, it is imperative that you obtain achieve 100% of the tribute."

"Because 100% of the tribute also means more resources for the system, which is why the system is helping so much," Jin said nonchalantly and Yun could not argue back with that logic.

"Do we have a plan on how to take down this fortress?" Peppers raised her hand and asked but both Yun and Jin shook their heads. "We tried to find information regarding the dungeon but none of the online resources had any clues. Yun tried asking the system but the system refused to give any despite its innate desire to take over the dungeon." Jin replied to Peppers and Yun stepped in again.

"The system still wanted to make this a challenge for Jin since the reward is a very high grade store signage. To be honest, the system only wanted Jin to bring one or two monsters with him into a separate dungeon that it had suggested but I negotiated with it and the system decided to allow him to go full force on this dungeon instead." Yun added and the monsters were cheering madly since it was the first time they could go all out against something as an entire group.

"In any case, we will be utilising everyone and everything that we have to take over this fortress. It will be a large scale operation and remember to do maximum damage! More minotaurs killed equates to more monsters for Jin to create Dungeons with!" Yun shouted out through a loud hailer megaphone. The monsters and the bellators yelled out in unison, displaying their agreement.

This time around, Jin was not just a Dungeon Supplier. To the adventurers in the Dungeon world, he was a Monster Summoner, and a high leveled one at that.
