Number One Dungeon Supplier

When the Raccoon turned his head, he couldn't believe his eyes. Behind him stood Captain Hei in his iconic bulletproof SWAT vest, yet he also had a traditional Chinese robe underneath. The panda made for a strange sight in his get up, but his appearance here signified to the viewers that something important was about to happen.

"Do not think for a moment that you can fool me, the Guardian of Many Islands, Protector of the People. I can smell the stench of your blade in this poor soul's body." Captain Hei berated the trembling cultivator. His heart rate was pumping super fast in the face of incoming death.

The Raccoon's feeble attempts of pulling the sword out only worsened the wound, and Captain Hei's hand went to his gun belt as he unholstered his trusty pistol. "You had no right to kill this innocent man shouting for help! But don't you worry a single bit, you won't be lonely for long, I shall send your friend over as well once I am done with you." Captain Hei promised as he pulled the trigger, and the entire villager crowd resonated with this judgement.

In the meantime, the cinema hall audience clapped loudly to see that the Raccoon had justice done to him except for Kong Rong who thought about what Captain Hei had said. "Hmm, so does that mean he is not going to kill the Cockatrice?" Kong Rong asked Kraft, but the old fox could only shrug his shoulders.

"Technically the Cockatrice was not directly involved with the killing of any NPC, so let's wait and see if Captain Hei will still go after that one," Kraft replied while observing the audience's expression.

"It will be interesting to see if he will get away scot-free for only coming along. There are a lot of complications if the Cockatrice can escape unscathed, assuming he does not touch any other NPCs." Kong Rong commented while writing notes on the new job scope of Captain Hei in this instance.

"How so? Aren't their actions a testimony that they abandoned the sidequests to steal firecrackers and perhaps even Panda Medals? Shouldn't they get punished for circumventing the intended gameplay this much?" The very same bespectacled spectator overheard their conversation and queried about it.

"Well if the Cockatrice comes out alive, it means that this particular dungeon instance allows for a lot more flexibility than one would think a dungeon instance could ever have. People have long since assumed that Boss Jin's Dungeon Instances were somewhat linear when compared with other dungeons."

"Aren't you partly to blame for that? Whenever you publish one of your walkthroughs for the dungeons, your fans speak as if you have 'solved' it. Admittedly, your way is the easiest to follow for the majority of cultivators… still doesn't mean it's the only way." Kraft couldn't help but snarkily remark.

"Ahem, it just shows that as long as people think outside the box, it is possible for them to find alternative routes for the completion of the dungeon." Kong Rong added slightly embarrassed as the audience watched how Panda Hei unceremoniously removed his sword from the Racoon's corpse and adjusted his black rimmed sunglasses.

At the same in the warehouse, the Weasel was trying his best to hoard as many firecrackers into a haversack. Unfortunately, like real life, the items they stole could not just be inserted into the storage ring because they already belonged to 'someone else' due to a certain RFID mismatch of the items. The items belonged to the dungeon instance and like in real life, they had a specific code which denied the Weasel from stealing it outright.

"Damn, I heard that the dungeon instances in this shop were supposed to be realistic, but couldn't they have at least made collecting loot a bit more like a game?!" The Weasel complained as he shouted for the Cockatrice to do his portion of the heist.

"You kidding me?! I only accompanied you because you said it would be a sure way to get the first dungeon completion! I did warn you about the NPCs coming, and in case you haven't noticed, Captain Hei came out of nowhere, turned your brother into a shish kebab before he put a bullet into his head!" The Cockatrice shook his head and refused to get any more involved.

Unlike his two companions who had come here today for the first time, the Cockatrice had been an avid watcher of the dungeons in the past. As a regular, he still remembered that one incident with Captain Bai. The cultivator who had tried to shame and abuse the NPC was placed in a hall of shame post for nearly a month before his name had been removed.

"Then all we have to do is kill that panda, right? My brother probably did not notice him. Besides, I'm far stronger than him. I bet I can take out that stupid bear in one hit." The Weasel replied as he tried to zip another large sling bag full of explosive firecrackers while walking hastily towards the backdoor.

"Then try dodging this first!" Suddenly, Captain Hei's paw connected with the Weasel's face from the side of the warehouse, creating a hole with his punch in the process. The impact force was powerful enough to send him flying through the warehouse, breaking all the supplies in between and subsequently out of the storage area and into open space.

The Cockatrice was once again forced to watch his teammate get violently assaulted by the Super NPC. And with one stare from Captain Hei, the Cockatrice immediately had goosebumps and did not hesitate to flee from the warehouse at that instant. He even used his chi techniques to run away from the crime scene in the hopes of not getting implicated any further.

"Clever bird." Kraft snorted at the actions of the scared cultivator, yet it was exactly that cowardice that allowed him to avoid execution by Captain Hei.

Meanwhile, Captain Hei's violent punch had caused smoke and dust to appear, and the angry villagers surrounded the culprit in case he might attempt to escape Captain Hei's wrath.

But there was no need for that.

The Weasel was coughing blood as the dust around him settled down. His legs turned to jelly, and his stomach was severely upset. He felt his vision becoming blank, and his head was pounding hard from all the impact while his ears, bleeding from the aftermath.

"How do you like that?" Captain Hei asked loudly as he placed his foot on the Weasel's chest, causing him to have even more difficulty breathing. (Not to mention his ribs cracked a little further.)

"Let this be a lesson for you. If you ever come back and intend to hurt them, I will find you before you can so much as to touch a strain of the hair of these good people. I will hunt you down like a monster, and I will make sure you will not have the luxury to enjoy the dungeon instance in the future." Captain Hei threatened as he pressed his foot further down while taking his pistol of judgement.

Executed in cold blood, the System believed this act will undoubtedly make the audience to spread the word not to kill any NPCs.
