The Strange Adventure of a Broke Mercenary

Chapter 309 Pandaz vs Roboz



"Holy Moly! This is our Guardian? A Panda wearing a Godjilla suit?!" Yue Han shouted with surprise but he got whacked by Coach Hui for being so loud.

"Be more respectful to your Guardian! Okay, I know it would be best if you guys had a dry run, but we don't have any time. I trust that you all are more than capable in understanding the rules since there are three Pandawans in the group." Coach Hui stated as he performed an 'O' with his arms to the field referee sitting at the side of the stadium digging his nose.

Upon closer inspection, it was a rather big bulky guy who was carrying a motorcycle helmet with him. The field referee threw his nose dirt with his pinky finger and wore the helmet… for protection? (Or maybe as a fashion statement?) But then a whistle blow was heard from him, supposedly from under his helmet. Bu Dong's group could see a group systematically walking out of the gates like robots. With every step, they started to become more and more human, which left all three boys in awe.

"Wow, I am seriously impressed. This is the most animated dungeon instance I have ever been to. Even the ones back at home either had no story or some bad excuses which amounted to simple monster killing. So what's a Pandawan?" Katerine asked Kong Xian who was right beside her.

"That is the beauty of Boss Jin's dungeons. We were also kind of fed up with standard dungeons that were offered by other dungeon suppliers. Oh and we played enough dungeon instances that we somehow earned the title 'Pandawan' from the Dungeon NPCs. It is also stated in our Pandamonium Stat screen." Kong Xian opened the app and showed it to her.

"Woah, you guys have played more than 30 dungeons?" Xing Li was also curious as she took a look.

"Nah, those are just the number of times Kong Xian entered Boss Jin's dungeons. I have more dungeons under my belt. Although I have not tried all of them since most of the time was Bu Dong treating us. We usually just follow him." Yue Han confessed and the girls were amazed by Bu Dong's generosity.

"Erm, I just have some spare cash with me…that is all." Bu Dong tried to sound humble but failed so badly with the guys teasing him even more. The girls subsequently joined in and Bu Dong got rather embarrassed by it. Yet to the boys, they all appreciated Bu Dong for being honest.

"Alright, alright. Enough chatter. Have a look at your opponent. It's Team Roboz." Coach Hui folded his arms as the coach of Team Roboz came closer. For a moment, interim members of Team Pandaz could not see who Coach Hui was referring to until they heard some slimy sound from the ground.

It was none other than Lord Wolte who decided to play along with Jin's dungeons to personally get a feel of what Moloch had been talking to him about. The naked slug without the defunct core dragged itself towards Coach Hui. His tempo was rather quickly contrary to his form. (And yeap, the defunct core had been taken away by Moloch but that is for another story!)

"So you're only down to five people for your team? That is pandathetic Hui. Oh wait, did I make a bad panda pun. BURNNN~!" Lord Wolte said as he used his small little slug tendrils to push his coach cap down a little while smirking. However, there was only silence in the field. No one else found it funny, even his own team members did not play along to force a laugh.

Lord Wolte awkwardly recovered and began to speak, "I will do the same and send in only five of my best as a sign to pity you, Hui." Wolte walked away and commanded five Savants to enter the fray. As the rest went to the side bench and the Motorcycle Helmet Referee told the players to take their position as indicated on the shining beacons on the field.

"Xing Li, I understand that your Henotic Hedgehog Style is a kind of support cultivati- WOAH! What's that for?!" Bu Dong's reflexes were fast enough to dodge a boomerang coming from Xing Li. The boomerang later returned to Xing Li's hand, making Bu Dong aware that there were sharp edges at each side of the boomerang. Xing Li was wearing a sort of armoured glove which she used to hold the weapon in her hand.

"I can fight too." Xing Li stated as her eyes were determined to go all out. That was when Yue Han whispered to Bu Dong.

"Erm, Xing Li is a trained gymnastic despite her cultivation style. In fact, the Hedgehog style makes her even more aggressive- WOAH! WHY ME TOO!?" Yue Han barely dodged after lowering his guard while talking to Bu Dong.

"Because you talk too much. Let him find out how good I can be. Don't you look down on me, even though I am just a Grade 2." Xing Li smiled confidently at Yue Han which made him slightly uneasy but he still struggled a smile out for her.

"Alright then, Yue Han, you hold the backline with Katerine. Wait, erm… I should go behind and hold the line with Katerine. Both of you and Kong Xian go to the middle." Bu Dong realised that he almost separated Yue Han and Xing Li due to his own desire to be with her.

"That does not make sense. You are a Grade 4 Peak. You should go to the frontline and grab the ball from the opponents as fast as possible." Katerine disagreed with Bu Dong's decision.

"Actually, Bu Dong's plan does make sense. We need someone strong for defence too, so that the… Savants is it? Ah yes, the Savants will have a hard time going to their- WOW THEIR GUARDIAN!" Kong Xian was taken aback when the Titan Knight, which Jin and the others had painstakingly fought against, was revealed to be the Roboz's guardian.

"Oh my lord. That is one crazy big ass robot. And here I thought our Pandajilla was already large enough." Katerine commented.

"SIZE DOES NOT MATTER!" Coach Hui shouted at them to get into their positions quickly, otherwise, the game would not be able to start. "Total of three rounds. 15 minutes each round. Follow what Ape Dong suggested. Sissy Han, Crazy Shit Li and Monk Xian at the front. Fire Girl and Ape Dong at the back!" The group looked at Coach Hui, all with a peculiar look when he finished giving his orders.

"Please Coach, don't use those names. … such an awful naming sense." Bu Dong complained and the others agreed.

"It felt like Jin was controlling the coach and gave us terrible nicknames on purpose." Yue Han added and the Coach Hui was somewhat angry and he clapped to hurry them up. He later changed back to their normal names. The frontliners went to the centre of the field facing three Savants while three magical balls the size of a basketball mysteriously appeared right in front of them.

"Ready? Fight!" The Motorcycle Helmet Referee blew its whistle once more and the clashes happened simultaneously. Kong Xian locked his blades with the Lord Knight Savant and a magical barrier appeared right in front of them. Fortunately for him, Katerine being a Fire Shaman had cast various buffs to her teammates seconds before the whistle went off.

Kong Xian's two handed sword lit up like a bonfire and the food strength buff that he got eating from the Chashu Ramen allowed him to go toe to toe with the Lord Knight Savant. In the meantime, Xing Li was paired against an Assassin Savant and similar to Kong Xian, she had the same burning fire buff as she clashed with the Assassin Savant.

As for Yue Han, Bu Dong did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Yue Han's opponent, the Warlock Savant, summoned his Otherworld minion. Coincidentally it had a striking resemblance to the zombie abomination, which Yue Had fought against, during the Great Wall of China Dungeon Instance. Just that it looked meaner, bigger and possessed even more hands like a Thousand Arm Buddha. The Otherworld Abomination swallowed the magical ball with its back mouth and engaged the fight with Yue Han.

"Why do I always get the shittiest enemy!? And of all monsters, THAT THING AGAIN!!!" Yue Han grumbled as he went forward with his burning one handed sword with a renewed vengeance against the Otherworld Abomination.
