"The citizens are moving according to the schedule. 17.6% left to finish the reallocation of the Demon Citizens." The System reported to Jin as he yawned once again going over the finishing touches to the Demopolis City Raids. In the meantime, Kiyu had, as always, worked wonders in the PR department. She had strongly hinted to the Pandarens that there would be another Raid incoming.
While the revisiting of the Nian Islands had everyone pumped up to get the free Panda Coins, Jin understood that there needed to be new content for him to continue to entice his Pandarens and their wallets.
Because of the Chinese New Year Holidays, he had thought he would be seeing a drop in customers, but boy was he wrong. Visitors from other provinces and cities had heard about these miraculous Tree Mall and took the chance to visit it.
Not to mention, it was one of the main attractions that the Shenzhen government had been advertising ever since a few officials realised that it was raking in money crazily during the Christmas period. With the advent of the Tree Mall, the Shenzhen Tourism Board had enjoyed an increase in hotel stays around the area and had decided to exploit that to the fullest. By advertising the Tree Mall, it inadvertently promoted Jin's Dungeons since it was one of the main attractions of that mall.
However, something was wrong.
Despite the increased travels to the Tree Malls based on statistics and town wide camera monitoring was astoundingly high that the surrounding hotels' stays remained just fully booked and not overbooked. The tourism officials did not understand the numbers since the people going into the Tree Mall and the people staying around the area were disproportionate.
As such the officials decided to take a closer look by going to the Tree Mall itself to learn more about it. When they arrived, they noticed that the Tree Mall itself was fully occupied both inside and outside. Aside from the customary Chinese New Year decorations being placed on the Tree itself, it appeared that Jin had created mini treetop pavilions for cultivators to rest, eat and even study. The only requirement was to keep the place clean. Any acts of vandalism and those ignoring the only requirement would be harshly dealt with.
This made the Tree Mall look as if it was an art of work with little tiny 'humans' within the vicinity relaxing and chatting with friends. But this was not the main point for the officials as they searched the area to find there were no illegal squatters within these pavilions.
Only after a foreign couple was wheeling their luggage out from the Dungeons and Panda did they find out the real reason for their missing numbers. (Obviously, those officials were undercover agents and they were posing as curious couples.)

"Huh? Don't you know about the Hotel Pandastic in the Dungeon Store?" The male foreigner asked them in fluent Chinese. "I never thought Dimension Technology could go this far and this totally blows my mind! Won't hesitate to come here again, right dear?"
"The food and shopping! And all the tax rebates are instant! If we have more time, we would stay here and try more than just one dungeon." His companion said as they gave more information to the undercover tourist officials.
"I overheard you are looking for Hotel Pandastic?" Yun was behind them as she asked the question, giving them a slight shock. Those officials themselves were also cultivators but to have somebody emerging behind them without any noise was something they were not accustomed to. "Let me guess, officers?" Yun asked as she scanned them from top to toe with her eyes in a glance.
The duo officers who were posing as a couple decided to feign their ignorance but Yun pointed at the bulge in the male's pocket and there was a card there that was partially revealed. Seeing that Yun had noticed them, they showed their badges saying that they were merely tourism officers who had been tasked by their superiors to look around and hopefully discover the root of the problem.
Yun chuckled lightly and told them that she had been expecting them causing the officers to be taken aback by such revelation. "Don't you worry about it. Let's just say you are not the first group to come here to check us out. There are other hotels and business spies who have come to take a peek at their competition. So, we figured that sooner or later, the official government agents would come to take a look too. Thus, I apologise for thinking that you were another group of our competitors and decided to confront you head on." Yun bowed her head with some courtesy.
"But upon noticing that badge there, I figured you are officers," Yun explained to them the current predicament they were facing. While Jin had closed the entire Pandapolis, he had already opened Hotel Pandastic, the hotel which hosted the Royal Zodiac Snake soldiers before the big epic battle against the Demons.
While this might sound a tad ironic given that the Demon Citizens were moving into Pandapolis, Jin needed more money to feed the Demon Citizens. Sure, he might have gotten some funds from Claire after her flip in Black Market stock investments but he still needed it as a sort of war fund against the rats.
Thus, he had opened the series of hotel chains including Hotel Pandastic to get more moolah from his customers. It also provided an avenue for the Demon Citizens to work so long as they signed the System's Contract. This enabled Jin to tap on skilled labour while allowing these Demon Citizens to learn more about the tourism industry.
Naturally, the animal folks from the Giant World had been put in charge of serving the Pandarens, but honestly, they could not have done anything much without the assistance from the Demon Citizens who had settled early. Jin had purposely liaised with Rex to get the jobless Demons in first so that he could rope them into this opportunity. And some of the friendlier Demons with less or no prejudice against humans were able to serve the frontline.
However, there was no doubt in Yun's mind that these officers won't believe their eyes when she shows them around and she was already looking forward to it.
