Jin spent most of the afternoon handling Xiong Da. With each dungeon, Xiong Da managed to learn something new from Milk and in total, he did five dungeon instances. During the downtime between each dungeon instance, Xiong Da got to savour the store's only specialty, the Tonkatsu Curry Rice. To him, delicious food cured every wound.

Not only did Xiong Da think that the curry rice was the best food he had ever eaten for a long time, the Panda soda he bought was also exceptionally tasty. Where did the soda came from? Upon completing the mission to master Lazy Panda Swipe, Yun had unlocked the bar shelves in the middle of the bar counter island, allowing Jin to stock drinks on the first floor.

The system stocked the bar with two types of drinks unique to the store and in the food menu, they were labelled as Panda Soda and Bamboo Juice. Jin knew that whatever the store put up, it would definitely be of a good quality...and something related to pandas.

Jin took one of each type from the bar shelves and he realised that the cans were already cold. He later found out that the bar shelves had some kind of refrigeration technology which kept the cans cool for consumption.

The aluminium can of soda displayed a picture of a panda holding a glass bottle and blowing cold air out from its mouth. The taste of the carbonated soda had a citrus flavour that Jin had never tasted before.

"The Panda Soda's flavour was created with a blend of the natural citrus which originated from Yunnan in Southwest China, the Himalayas foothills and Northern Myanmar. The sweetener in Panda Soda also uses a mixture of top quality brown and maple sugar to enhance the flavour."

Next to try was the bamboo juice. The Bamboo Juice came in a can as well but the can was shaped like an internode of a bamboo stem. When stacked together, it looked like an artificial bamboo plant was growing beside the bar shelves.

Jin tried the juice and Yun explained to him the origins of the bamboo. "The bamboo used originated from the Sakhalin islands in Russia. The juice was cold pressed immediately after they were harvested. Only new bamboo shoots that emerged a golden yellow culm with red margins surrounding it were harvested in order to have the best quality of juice."

"The juice itself is cold and sweet, making it refreshing to drink since it also helps to clear the meridians in the lungs, heart and stomach," Yun added.

Xiong Da finally stopped for the day and thanked Jin. "Boss, I really did learn a lot today! I will be sure to come back tomorrow for more training. Please help me thank Milk sensei too." Xiong Da bowed a little and took his small luggage with him home.

"Hey Bin Yong, I found a place that might be of an interest to you. This could possibly be the best upcoming hangout place for us." Shi Zuo said with excitement after he came back from his lunch break at around 2.30 pm.

"What did you find this time? The previous time, you introduced a cabaret club style bar and you guaranteed it would be a hit too. In the end, the whole night was filled with disaster. I do not need any more of your weird recommendations." Bin Yong said with disgust as he vividly remembered the incident he had in the bar.

"This time I can vouch for Shi Zuo! This will be a good one!" Luo Bo held onto Shi Zuo shoulders as she came to Bin Yong's cubicle. She was giggling around with Shi Zuo, which made Bin Yong feel a little awkward.

Bin Yong sighed and placed his digital pen down on his drawing tablet and spun his chair, facing towards Shi Zuo and Luo Bo. "For your girlfriend's sake. I will listen. This is the last time if this place is a failure, I am not going out with you two for the next month."
