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

Chapter 75 T-3 Floating Exoskeleton Armor
Lin Ye took a moment to glance at Zhang Yuqing's battle.

Advice was given very quickly.

"The keratinous layer and thick skin on the back of a wild boar can absorb most of the slashes. Your sword is too light and it will be difficult to cause effective damage."

“Attack its nose and eyes, those are the most nerve-rich and vulnerable parts of its body.”

Before he finished speaking, the spear in his hand demonstrated a textbook-perfect technique.

He dodged a charging wild boar, flicked the butt of his gun, and struck the boar precisely on the nose.

boom!
There was a muffled sound.

The raging wild boar let out a painful cry, its massive body instantly losing control as it crashed into the wall beside it, sending shards of stone flying.

Lin Ye continued.

"The spine of the mutated hyena is its weak point, but they move so fast that they are difficult to hit."

"Prioritize attacking its hind leg joints to disable its mobility."

Zhang Yuqing was shocked and subconsciously followed Lin Ye's instructions, drawing her Listening Rain Sword in a flourish.

Instead of chasing and slashing at the hyena's neck, he turned the sword and precisely sliced ​​across the joint of its hind leg.

puff!

A soft cracking sound came from the tendon.

The mutated hyena let out a miserable howl, its hind legs buckled, and it instantly collapsed to the ground.

Before it could struggle, Zhang Yuqing's sword had already followed, cleanly and decisively piercing its neck.

Outstanding effect!

Zhang Yuqing's eyes were filled with nothing but shock.

Lin Ye is like a walking encyclopedia of mutated beasts.

This knowledge is not found in school textbooks at all, and the so-called expert-compiled guides are only rough introductions.

How come he knows everything?

And he knows so much detail, as if he had personally dissected thousands upon thousands of them!
With Lin Ye as the battlefield commander, Zhang Yuqing no longer had to fight based on instinct and the sword techniques she had learned.

Each of her sword strikes became more purposeful, greatly increasing her efficiency.

After Zhang Yuqing also became a reliable combatant, Lin Ye felt that the speed of clearing out monsters had reached a new level.

Unfortunately.

This artificially induced small-scale beast tide is ultimately limited in number.

With the two's efficient slaughter, the mutated beasts around the square were wiped out in just over ten minutes, and the rest had already scattered and fled, disappearing into the shadows of the ruins.

Lin Ye glanced at his experience bar.

LV13 (12.8%/100%).

In just over ten minutes, he gained nearly thirteen percent of his experience points.

This efficiency is higher than what he could achieve by carefully hunting in a real-world ruined city all night.

With the real-world ruined city unable to continue leveling up due to those two fused monsters, Lin Ye was determined to make the most of these three days.

Competition rankings?

bonus?

These can all be put off until later.

Leveling up is his most important goal right now!
After a fierce battle, Zhang Yuqing finally couldn't hold on any longer.

She was panting heavily, her hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her forehead, and her face was flushed from the intense exercise.

Lin Ye, on the other hand, only slightly increased his breathing, his expression remaining unchanged.

He was carrying a gun, rummaging through a pile of mutated beast corpses.

Soon, he dragged the corpse of a huge mutated spider to Zhang Yuqing.

Then he took her to a high point of a building with a wide view.

"Lend me your sword for a moment."

Lin Ye threw the millstone-sized, eight-legged, hideous spider corpse on the ground with a muffled thud.

"what!"

Zhang Yuqing was so frightened that she quickly took several steps back, her pretty face turning deathly pale instantly.

She wasn't afraid to fight ferocious mutated beasts, but she had a natural fear and disgust for spiders, multi-legged, bizarre-looking creatures.

Not to mention it's such a huge one!
“My spearhead isn’t good for dissecting corpses; your sword is more suitable,” Lin Ye explained.

Zhang Yuqing looked at Lin Ye's serious eyes and gently bit her lip.

Despite his strong reluctance, he still handed over his sword.

Lin Ye took the Listening Rain Sword.

Holding the sword, one feels a sense of lightness and agility. It is extremely light in weight and has a perfect center of gravity, truly a divine weapon tailor-made for women or agile martial artists.

Without another word, he crouched down and began to deal with the spider's corpse. *Thud!*
Lin Ye didn't even have to exert much force; the tip of the Listening Rain Sword easily pierced through the hard, alloy-like keratin layer on the spider's back.

Fine sword.

He sincerely praised it in his heart.

This gave him a more direct understanding of the masterpieces of the weapon-forging workshop.

Lin Ye's movements were as skillful as a seasoned butcher with decades of experience. In a flash of sword light, he cleanly and neatly removed the eight spider legs and arranged them to the side.

Then, he cut open the spider's abdomen.

An indescribable fishy stench mixed with green sap gushed out.

Lin Ye used the tip of his sword to precisely pick something out of the pile of sticky internal organs.

It was a fist-sized, translucent sac filled with a dark green liquid.

"What is this?"

Zhang Yuqing suppressed the churning in her stomach and asked curiously.

"Poison sac".

As Lin Ye spoke, he carefully pierced the poison sac with the tip of his sword and smeared the viscous venom onto the tip of his spear.

The originally restrained cold light of the spear tip was instantly covered by a layer of eerie dark green.

After doing all this, he handed the Listening Rain Sword back to Zhang Yuqing.

"You apply it too."

Lin Ye only discovered this after he was accidentally bitten by one of these spiders.

Its poison is not fatal, but it has an extremely rapid onset and is a potent neurotoxin.

When applied to weapons, even a small scratch can slow down or even temporarily paralyze the target for a few seconds.

Dealing with those fast-moving mutant beasts can save a lot of effort.

Watching Lin Ye's skillful actions, Zhang Yuqing first felt a wave of nausea.

He then took a deep breath, suppressing the nausea in his heart, and followed Lin Ye's example, carefully applying the venom to the blade of the Listening Rain Sword.

After she finished all that, she saw Lin Ye begin to process the spider legs, prying open the hard shells and picking out the snow-white leg flesh inside.

She hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and, while enduring intense physical discomfort, began to help him.

Lin Ye paused, glancing at her with some surprise.

He couldn't help but look at Zhang Yuqing with new respect.

He had assumed that, given Zhang Yuqing's family background, she must be a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger.

Unexpectedly, she not only lacked all the bad habits of a spoiled young lady, but was also exceptionally pragmatic and resilient.

She has been trying her best to keep up with her own pace and to help herself.

At this moment, the sun is high in the sky, the time of day with the best light.

After dealing with the spoils, Lin Ye stood atop the ruins, his gaze sweeping over the city's ruins below like that of a hawk.

He memorized the surrounding terrain, the distribution of buildings, and the location of the scattered mutated beasts in the distance.

However, at this moment.

At the edge of the sky, a few barely perceptible black dots came into his field of vision.

Lin Ye's expression suddenly changed.

"Hide!"

He gave a low shout, grabbed the still somewhat confused Zhang Yuqing, and instantly hid behind a huge shadow of a dilapidated wall.

Zhang Yuqing was taken aback by his sudden action, but she still subconsciously held her breath and, following Lin Ye's gaze, stretched her neck to look at the sky.

Soon, she also saw the several black dots that were rapidly approaching.

As the distance closed, the outlines of the black dots gradually became clearer.

That... looks like a person!
People flying in the air!
Lin Ye's pupils contracted slightly, his gaze narrowing to a single line.

When the leader's face came into full view, his expression darkened.

It's them?
He recognized the person flying at the very front!

It was the leader of the group that had gathered the most people in the square earlier, and was the first to disappear!
No wonder they had the audacity to stir up a beast tide in the heart of the city.

It turns out they possess the means to fly, allowing them to leave the ground at any time!
"That's... the T-3 floating exoskeleton armor!"

Zhang Yuqing, standing beside him, let out a suppressed gasp, her voice filled with disbelief.

"Only Ninghai University of Science and Technology Affiliated High School is willing to equip their core seed players with this level of expensive equipment!"

"They are... from Ningbo University of Science and Technology Affiliated High School!"
