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

Chapter 27: The Lone Wolf Re-enters the Battle
Eventually, he will escape to the top floor.

Then, he jumped off the top floor.

Below is a pile of garbage that he had laid out in advance over the past few days, with plenty of cushioning material.

If the black panther were to jump down, it would be met with several gasoline traps that Lin Ye had already prepared.

Hairy creatures are weak against fire; even mutated beasts should be somewhat afraid of fire.

If all of this doesn't go well.

If Black Panther's intelligence exceeded his expectations, he wouldn't have chased him into the building.

Lin Ye also set up a final safe point for himself.

There is a sewer entrance about 200 meters away from here.

The entrance was extremely well hidden, with a narrow passageway inside that could only allow one person to pass at a time, and an excellent cover outside.

The size difference between the two allows Lin Ye to hide inside, while the black panther cannot squeeze in immediately.

If he can escape there, he can disengage from combat and trigger the [Disengage and Recover Health] effect.

Throughout the entire hunting plan, Lin Ye considered countless possibilities and tried his best to have contingency plans in place for any unexpected events.

However, Lin Ye still abandoned the idea of ​​making a move tonight.

It's not stable enough yet.

He felt there was still room for improvement.

Lin Ye didn't plan to act rashly unless he was at least 95% certain.

……

Two more days passed.

Lin Ye finished his sparring session with Chen Meng and returned home.

After dinner, Lin Ye returned to his room and opened his personal panel.

[Host: Lin Ye]

[Race: Goblin Minion]

[Level: LV6 (477/1400)]

[HP: 663/663]

[Energy: 139/139]

Stamina: 302/302

[BOSS Mechanics: Out-of-combat Health Regeneration (White), Soul Forge (Green)]

[Current stage: P1, other stages are not yet unlocked]

【Strength: 31.1】

[Endurance: 33.6]

【Spirit: 24.4】

[Free attribute points: 0]

Skill Points: 0

[Skills: Normal Attack (LV5), Thick Skin (LV4), Staff Stance (LV5)]

Compared to three weeks ago, Lin Ye's attributes have more than tripled.

Especially stamina and health, which receive additional growth from [Thick Skin], are increased even more significantly.

Lin Ye turned off the panel, put on the CR wristband, and immersed his consciousness into the virtual network.

Martial Arts Pinnacle, Activated!
Arriving at the battle lobby, which was gradually becoming familiar to him, Lin Ye didn't rush to matchmaking. Instead, he completed his daily grinding and blood-sucking tasks.

Instead, I opened my friends list first.

This time, Lin Ye's eyes lit up.

He hasn't seen Lone Wolf online these past few days.

But today, he finally caught me.

Not only online, but not in a battle.

Lin Ye sent a message to the other party.

"Start a game?"

"Come."

Not long after, Lone Wolf's reply came.

Lin Ye opened a custom room, set the map to random, and then invited Lone Wolf.

Lone Wolf entered the room, and the two didn't exchange many words. Lin Ye immediately clicked "start".

The scene changes, and it's still a familiar abandoned city map.

The countdown to the start of the battle rang in my ears.

This time, Lin Ye did not wait passively like last time.

He moved at the very last second before the countdown ended!

Lower your center of gravity, push off the ground with your feet, and you'll be like an arrow released from a bow, launching a charge!

The lone wolf opposite was clearly also somewhat surprised, but he reacted extremely quickly. He drew his sword, and with a flash of light, he used the same unpredictable and elusive swordsmanship, aiming directly at Lin Ye's weakness.

Lin Ye's gaze was more focused than ever before. The effects of the improved mental attributes made Lin Ye's reactions much stronger than a week ago.

In his eyes, Lone Wolf's movements seemed to be a little slower than last time.

The knife marks that he couldn't see before are now vaguely visible to him.

"clang!"

The long staff in his hand struck first, hitting the spine of the opponent's blade with perfect precision, the immense force causing Lone Wolf's arm to go numb.

The balance of power seemed to have reversed in an instant.

However, Lone Wolf's combat experience far surpasses that of Lin Ye.

Frustrated by his initial attack, he didn't linger. Using the recoil, he quickly retreated, simultaneously turning his blade and drawing a tricky arc to slash at Lin Ye's wrist holding the stick.

Lin Ye could only change his move to block.

This time, Lin Ye was no longer helpless.

He was finally not taken down in just a couple of moves.

The battle between the two began to reach a stalemate.

Lin Ye chose to launch a fierce attack.

Lone Wolf, on the other hand, plays a defensive counter-attacking game.

Like the slipperiest eel, he always managed to evade Lin Ye's thunderous blows at the last possible moment with exquisite force-dissipating techniques and unpredictable movements, delivering a precise and fatal strike the instant Lin Ye was exhausted.

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.

He could sense that Lone Wolf was intentionally trying to get him to attack.

Give yourself the initiative.

This mentality is like that of someone in a superior position who enjoys the challenges posed by those in subordinate positions.

The battle lasted a full five minutes.

Lin Ye's virtual body was covered with knife marks of varying depths.

Ultimately, perhaps Lone Wolf grew tired of guarding, and seized an opportunity with a tiny opening, finally piercing Lin Ye's heart with a single stab.

Everything went black, and my consciousness returned to the matching space.

Lost again.

But Lin Ye felt no frustration whatsoever; instead, a surge of excitement welled up within him as he realized his plan was working.

He no longer lost in a daze!
He could clearly feel that the gap between himself and the other person was narrowing.

Although the opponent's peculiar power, which transcends the power of qi and blood, still made it difficult for him to deal with, he was now able to keep up with the opponent's pace.

The path of overwhelming numerical superiority is the right one!
……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city.

An ordinary-looking young man took off his CR wristband and let out a long breath.

He is the "Lone Wolf".

"Phew... what's wrong with this guy?"

He rubbed his slightly numb wrist, his face full of confusion.

"His strength and resilience are much stronger than last time, and his reaction speed is also much faster."

Lone Wolf's real name is Zhou Kai, and he is a student at Dongjiang Experimental Middle School.

In other schools, Zhou Kai would definitely be considered a pretty good genius.

But at Dongjiang Experimental Middle School, he was the worst of the worst.

At school, he gets scolded by teachers, and anyone can bully him.

Both physical and mental stress are building up.

It always made him feel compelled to speak his mind.

However, just a week ago, during a random match, he encountered a newbie named [Goblin Soldier].

After the easy victory, Zhou Kai felt his depressed mood was greatly relieved.

So when the goblin minions sent him a friend request, he accepted it.

I was prepared to argue with the other side and protect my family.

But to his surprise, the other side just wanted to fight him again.

What's the point of bullying noobs?
Stomping noobs is so much fun!

Zhou Kai agreed without hesitation.

But today's battle made Zhou Kai feel that something was wrong.

Although they won in the end, it was far from as easy as the last time.

Hmm, maybe I'm overthinking it.

I was scolded all day, and I was already exhausted.

It was just an off day.

Furthermore, Zhou Kai was also worried that this brain massager wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure and would delete his friends and run away.

The water was released at the very beginning.

It seems that this hothead on the other side has no intention of giving up at all.

Look, he's still typing away, trying to arrange a rematch another day!
