Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 1835 Problems With Mini Games

"The System follows the User's way of bad naming conventions." After which, the System gave such a fake laugh through the intercoms.

"Anyways, I understand where you are getting from, and thanks for continuously doing research to make sure that we do not get into trouble."

"It is the System's duty to keep a low profile if possible although the User's reputation has reached to a certain point where a low profile is a bit meaningless."

"Gah, when we need to, we will show our strength. It's like how Kong Rong doesn't go around wielding his dragon powers about." Jin yawned as he looked at the time and it was close to morning once more. "I still have time before the dinner meeting, correct?"

"Yes, indeed. The System is assuming that the User wished to get Grandma Yuan and Claire to take a look at the newly done School Instance as well?"

"Yeah, why not? And it's a good time for them to take a look at it, criticise us, and maybe inform the relevant authorities that we are done. In the meantime, the four Demon Exorcists can also meet up with Grandma Yuan, share their exploits, and later talk about that Vatican thing to her as well. Considering she is one of the leading seniors in their field, it would not hurt to have some advice as well as recommendations for their problems." Jin said as he stood up to stretch a little.

"Then the System supposed you are going to create the next original dungeon instance?"

"Yeah, more like a start of a Dungeon Instance Series if it's possible."

"Something like a continuous act filled with nothing but action?"

"That is what most people come to Dungeons and Pandas for when they are looking for dungeons. Recently, I noticed on the internet that there were reviews of games that boast of high difficulties."

"Does the User mean the latest iteration of Dark Sols?"

"Indeed. I understand it's a role playing game but notice how it's a seamless experience from one area to another, and later fighting a big bad boss but you can also die quite badly." Jin explained as he happened to watch the trailers and even some gameplay when he needed his mind to wander for a bit before returning to create the school instance.

"With this kind of game setting, we can turn on the restriction of not being able to use chi or magic unless it is of a certain form that is allowed within the dungeon instance," Jin added and the System noted.

"And this way, we can also create our very own monster bosses as well as fights. Maybe draw some inspiration from our minions too. Oh oh and do a variant version of them so that they could be promoted too."

"User just want more figurines…" The System finally understood his desires.

"Damn, can you not. Those figurines making were the bomb okay. Even though they are so expensive, they are off the shelves almost immediately for those serious collectors. Imagine if we actually do a series on it."

"The Supa Robo Wars is waiting for such a version of your dungeon as well. In fact, all of your old mini games need updates."

"I thought I hired people to do all those creations," Jin replied and the System acknowledged that the person he hired, Yong De, the person who was working on the Arcade games, and He Rong who had been consistently producing new cards and figurines battles but because it's just a series of mini games, people eventually got bored of it and some were not willing to invest more into it. Only new comers would come and try a little before walking away.

The System even stated that the players wanted a dungeon version of such themes and hoped that whatever they had bought could be used for the dungeons as well. "Long story short, Shopkeeper Yongde is doing what he can to keep the profits afloat but the lack of interest from the players has plummeted the sales of the Arcade especially when it comes to original items.

"Lol, how can I create a dungeon based on our monster card game? Supa Robo Wars maybe but definitely not the figurine battles. Oh dear, I had no idea that our arcade had been doing so badly." Jin said as he asked for the profit numbers and they were indeed not looking great at all.

"Qiu Yue initially wanted to axe Yong De and He Rong, but she also noted the amount of effort they put into innovating. It's just that the effort does not show the results. Thankfully, the minigames saw a rise in numbers when the User was not around as some of the usual customers got bored and decided to try it. While they enjoyed it, the procurement of cards and figurines is not something they could do on a daily basis."

"Yeah, that's true. It is not like our characters are famous in the local or overseas animation scenes. It's still a niche scene to have them understand that our creatures here have stories too." Jin uttered the truth which he did not like to say out loud. Even though it was true that those promotional items were always sold quickly, it was mainly because they were won through redemptions rather than outright buying them.

Then again, he did see a surge of request for these products in the second hand online markets and there were scalpers selling them at such a high price that it made Jin wonder if what he had been doing for the mini games were right or if he did need to revamp them just as how Qiu Yue was brutal in cutting costs and optimising the store.

As much as Jin wished to penetrate the market with his own local products, he was having problems just as how their local Tiangong district was facing low demand for exquisite goods. "I see, if I really want them to thrive, I should either incorporate them or maybe put them into the Pandamonium App and make it a minigame in the app. So having physical cards would be a plus." Jin thought about it and decided to ask the System for its opinion.
