"We will take the Goblin Forest dungeon instance." Jing Ru said as she heard from Jin that some changes had been made since the previous time she and her university friends had tried it. Besides, it would be easier to show her stepfather how Jin's dungeons worked in one of the cheaper dungeons where the pressure to succeed wasn't as heavy.

Even though Ren Wei had been warned by Jing Ru to bring a little more cash than usual since the dungeon supplier that they were going to cost more, he could not believe the price until he saw it first hand. "Are you sure they are good?" Ren Wei confirmed with Jing Ru in case he was wasting his money and she nodded her head.

"The best I've ever been in." Jing Ru said with confidence.

"Alright, I trust you, girl." Ren Wei paid for the tickets, which allowed him to set up an account in Pandamonium. Jing Ru even offered to show him how to use it later. "For now though, just follow me!" Jing Ru gleed as she walked towards Station 1.

"Place your phone here, and you will be teleported in. As for the rest of your stuff, you can put them in the Panda Miniature on the shelf over there." Jing Ru taught Ren Wei the ropes of this dungeon supplier, which gave Jin some time to attend to other customers, though he really didn't need to. That was because he had a very inclusive and friendly community of customers that helped each other. Customers such as Jin's were hard, almost impossible, to come by and that was one of the reasons so many people constantly came to the store despite its sky-high prices.

Father and daughter eventually teleported into the dungeon instance and immediately found themselves in a tight situation when they got teleported near a dramatic scene, where both parties were engaged in a standstill. An eight-legged boar that looked like Mr Oink was bleeding badly and panting heavily while being surrounded by a group of knights.

Upon a closer look, the group surrounding Mr Oink were boars with humanoid features riding on top of six-legged boars similar to Mr Oink. Both Ren Wei and Jing Ru discovered that Mr Oink was backed to a corner near a cliffside and the Boar Knights were inching ever closer.

"Join us Great Variant! We promise to treat you better, maybe the Boarman King will even knight you as one of the Royal Boars! Just agree to abandon those filthy green uglies!" One of the Boar Knights snorted as he dragged a chained goblin that was beaten to near death and showed it to Mr Oink. The rest of the Boar Knights snorted in agreement when the Royal Boar Knight Hamlet threw the chained up goblin in front of Mr Oink.

Jing Ru could barely discern that the goblin in question was, in fact, the sword goblin. She recognised him because of his broken scabbard hanging at the side of his waist. "No matter how I see it, the goblins are the victims here right now." Jing Ru had always treated them as the enemy because of past dungeon experiences, but right now, she could sense that Jin had altered the story a little, making the goblins the story's supporting characters.

With the backdrop of the forest as cover, Jing Ru took out her rifle from her storage ring and wanted to go in without giving much thought. However, Ren Wei stopped her immediately. Instead of talking, Ren Wei performed several hand gestures, which Jing Ru understood from her constant training. They were visual combat signals that Ren Wei had taught her to improve nonverbal communication.

Some might argue, why not use a chi voice transmission instead? The reason was simple. There might be chi detection spells around or even a cultivator specialised in chi manipulation and detection. These knights might just be musclemen but one could not discount the fact that a Chi Knight was among them. Hence, the simple and efficient old method of hand signals were used.

"You cover this area, I will go ahead and distract the enemy." Ren Wei spoke with a few hand gestures, which Jing Ru acknowledged immediately. Although Ren Wei was well suited for the support role since he was a police sniper, he wanted to go the frontline for a few reasons. One, he wanted Jing Ru to focus on learning how to support instead of only frontline fighting and Two, he had been itching to go to the front for quite some time. The lack of frontline action in the police force made him thirst for some intense close combat fights.

The third and last reason was that the situation did not allow any time to set up. Ren Wei had already identified two sniping positions but it could have taken too much time, giving the chance for the situation to turn for the worse.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

Ren Wei fired three consecutive shots holding an air rifle modelled like a M1 Garand as he stood in the middle of the forest, making it very visible for the Boar Knights to notice him. What they did not know was that their Royal Boar Knight Hamlet had already fallen to the ground from his six-legged boar, choking on his own blood.

The Boar Knights could not fathom what hit Hamlet except for Ren Wei, who had purposely shown his Grade 4 cultivation of the Musket Muskrat out in the open to attract attention. Ren Wei had directed his shots towards the small vulnerable gap between the helmet and the chest armour of the Royal Boar Knight. What Ren Wei did not expect was that the Boar Knights had a thick neck when compared to humans.

While it did not kill Hamlet, it was obvious that fatal damage was delivered. One of the Boar Knights, who was the healer of the entire group, immediately attended to the Royal Boar Knight Hamlet while the rest immediately focused their attention on Ren Wei. That distraction was what Mr Oink needed to push through the entire group with the sword goblin in its mouth.

"Shit! The Great Variant is getting away!" One of the Boar Knights shouted and wanted to chase after Mr. Oink but another shot came from afar, which was once again, something they did not expect. The shot was accurate enough to hit one of the six-legged boar's eyes, which caused it to go berserk for a moment, causing chaos. This created a chance for Ren Wei and Jing Ru to escape.

"Did you set it up?" Ren Wei finally caught up with Jing Ru as they were running away in the same direction as Mr Oink.

"BOOM!"

The distant explosion from afar made Jing Ru smiled and Ren Wei grinned back at her.
