Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 26 Trap
Five days flew by.

At 7 p.m., the sun gradually set.

After finishing his meal, Li Jun rushed into the bedroom in a great hurry.

I skillfully turned on the device and put on my headphones.

Throne of Heroes, launch!

This groundbreaking fighting game has become a global phenomenon.

For the past month, Li Jun has been completely obsessed with it.

The game's main interface opened, and Li Jun clicked "Start Game" with his mouse, but the next second he glanced at the friends list on the right.

The first person in my friends list with the ID "Night Ends, Dawn Begins".

Li Jun set it to the top of his chat list, but his profile picture was grayed out.

Offline.

Li Jun scratched his head, opened the chat history, and found that the last time he played games with Lin Ye was more than two weeks ago.

Since the diagnostic test, Lin Ye seems like a completely different person.

No, it should be said that he had already changed even before the initial assessment.

In the past, after school every day, the two of them would either go straight to an internet cafe, or Lin Ye would go home first, and when Li Jun came online, this guy would definitely be online too.

The days when the two of them would work together all night long were something Li Jun even missed.

But now...

Li Jun sighed, his enthusiasm instantly plummeting.

He opened the contacts in his bracelet and sent a message to Lin Ye.

"Hey Ye, are you logging on? I'll send you a skin!"

The message was sent successfully, but no reply has been received yet.

Li Jun didn't care; he knew Lin Ye was probably cultivating again at this hour.

Li Jun saw Lin Ye walk alone to the combat training room after school more than once.

He even peeked inside and saw Chen Laohu sparring with Lin Ye.

Well, strictly speaking, that wasn't sparring; it was a one-sided beating.

Every time Li Jun saw Lin Ye being sent flying by Chen Laohu's punch, and then silently getting up and charging forward again, he felt pain all over his body.

He couldn't understand why Lin Ye had suddenly become so driven.

Ding.

The communicator vibrated.

Lin Ye's reply was concise and to the point.

"No time, I'm cultivating."

Upon seeing these four words, Li Jun couldn't help but send a voice message.

"Hey bro, are you addicted to cultivation? Don't you like games anymore? Don't you know the importance of work-life balance?"

This time, Lin Ye replied very quickly.

"Hmm, it's kind of addictive."

Li Jun was completely speechless.

He turned off the game, lay on the bed, but the image of Lin Ye punching 612 kilograms in one go involuntarily appeared in his mind.

And his astonishing blood and qi index.

perhaps……

Should I try harder myself?

The thought flashed through Li Jun's mind for only a moment before he extinguished it.

Li Jun sat back down in his gaming chair and clicked the mouse to start the game.

……

The last rays of sunlight disappeared below the horizon, plunging the entire ruined city into complete darkness.

Lin Ye closed the chat window with Li Jun.

Then I set it to silent mode.

The night wind blew through the dilapidated buildings, emitting a mournful wail like that of ghosts.

The air was filled with dust, decay, and a faint, almost imperceptible stench of blood.

Lin Ye's figure blended into the shadows, becoming one with the ruins, without making any unnecessary noise.

It's been five days.

For five whole days, aside from completing his daily virtual battle missions, he spent almost all his other time here.

On the first day, Lin Ye discovered the mutated black panther through his own exploration.

It also determined its core territory.

It uses a half-collapsed department store as its nest, and the surrounding area of ​​about three square kilometers is its hunting ground.

This mutated creature possessed an extremely strong sense of territory; any creature that ventured into its area would be mercilessly hunted down. The next day, Lin Ye witnessed its hunt firsthand.

It was a LV6 mutated porcupine, already similar in size to it, and with amazing defense, its tough hide comparable to inferior alloy.

However, in front of the black panther, it was like a fragile toy.

A black afterimage flashed past in the moonlight.

There was no earth-shattering battle, no prolonged entanglement.

It was just a swift and incredibly powerful attack.

The black panther's claws, gleaming with a metallic glint, tore through the porcupine's toughest carapace, and its sharp tusks crushed its neck bones.

The whole process takes no more than three seconds.

Clean, neat and efficient.

But at the same time, the porcupine's last-ditch effort also resulted in the black panther being pricked with several quills.

It is fast and has high attack power, but low defense.

Overall, it is a high-attack, high-agility, but fragile character.

On the third and fourth days, Lin Ye did not approach any further. Instead, he began to frantically draw maps, like an urban planner.

He abandoned the surface and turned his attention underground.

This abandoned city has a complex underground pipe network system, like a spider web.

He found three entrances to the sewers near the black panther's den and explored them one by one to confirm the internal structure, air circulation, and whether there were any other mutated creatures.

At the same time, he also memorized every usable part of the terrain.

The fifth day has arrived, which is today.

To this day, Lin Ye has not discovered any obvious weaknesses in it.

No old wounds, no flaws.

However, through observation, Lin Ye discovered something even more valuable.

The ecosystem of a deserted city.

This black panther is the top predator in the area, but it is not without its fears.

On the eastern edge of its territory, a large flock of LV7 mutated vultures dwells, so numerous that even the black panther is unwilling to provoke them easily.

As for the deeper parts of the ruined city, this black panther would never set foot there.

It was as if there was some great terror there.

The intelligence gathered from these observations allowed a blueprint for hunting the black panther to begin taking shape in Lin Ye's mind.

Since it has no weaknesses, let's create one for it.

If it moves fast, then use a small space to limit it.

If you can't win alone, then create a trap.

Lin Ye emerged from the shadows and arrived at a location he had marked.

This is a narrow alleyway with towering buildings on both sides, and a thick wall at the end, a dead end.

Above the alleyway, a huge concrete slab, due to the collapse of the building, was hanging precariously at an angle, seven or eight meters in the air.

All it takes is a powerful enough external force to make it fall completely.

Lin Ye began planning the route.

He needs to lure the black panther here.

The entire process demands an extremely high level of precision in controlling distance and timing.

He had to provoke the black panther before it spotted him, and then make sure he was within its pursuit range but not easily caught.

Once he has successfully lured him in, he will rush into the alleyway.

The moment the black panther caught up, he would use all his strength to throw a pre-prepared piece of steel bar at the weak fulcrum where the concrete slab was suspended.

A cement slab fell.

Even if it can't be killed outright, it's enough to severely damage it.

If Black Panther hadn't died, or even been seriously injured, and had been able to completely evade capture...

Lin Ye had also prepared a contingency plan.

His gaze fell on the wall at the end of the alley.

On the other side of the wall was the interior of a six-story residential building that he had scouted in advance.

He would rush into the building as fast as he could.

He knew the building's internal structure like the back of his hand. He would use the complex terrain to outmaneuver the black panther and keep climbing upwards.

He set up simple traps at the entrances to the staircases on the third and fifth floors.

Some sharpened steel bars, some metal barrels that make a lot of noise.

These things won't kill Black Panther, but they can buy him a precious fraction of a second.
