Technological advancement begins with devouring.

Bullets struck the 'Giant Rock Black Bear's' fur, leaving behind bloody holes as thick as fingers.

Even the 'Giant Rock Black Bear,' which can withstand large-caliber artillery shells, cannot withstand the bullets from the enhanced [Ripper].

Unfortunately, because the 'Giant Rock Black Bear' was too fast, these shots did not hit vital organs. Although they caused the 'Giant Rock Black Bear' considerable damage, they were far from fatal.

Even so, it still enraged the 'Giant Rock Black Bear'.

Bear-type monsters are known for their bad temper. With many of its subordinates slaughtered and even the monster itself suffering serious injuries, the 'Giant Rock Black Bear' was consumed by rage, wishing it could tear the strange humanoid metal life form in front of it to shreds.

"Roar~!"

The 'Giant Rock Black Bear' roared, ordering its minions to swarm and attack, reducing the [Boxer's] space to maneuver. At the same time, it leaped forward again, attempting to tear apart its enemy with its sharp claws.

The subroutine controlling [Boxer] had already grown considerably through the battles it had fought, resolutely executing the predetermined tactics, avoiding direct confrontation with 'Giant Rock Black Bear', and relying on [Ripple's] powerful armor-piercing ability to continuously add wounds to 'Giant Rock Black Bear'.

The 'Giant Rock Black Bear' is so fast that it can break the speed of sound in an instant, making it difficult for bullets to hit its vitals. You can only try to aim at its torso.

If it can hit vital points consecutively, it won't take more than ten shots for this lord-level monster, known for its immense strength and thick hide, to die under the gun of [The Ripper].

However, the current situation is quite good. The attacks from ordinary beast packs cannot put any pressure on [Boxer] at all, and it is even difficult to affect [Boxer]'s dodging and shooting.

The 'Giant Rock Black Bear' couldn't keep up with the 'Boxer's' speed and could only be constantly bled out and worn down.

Unable to catch the [Boxer] and constantly injured, the 'Giant Rock Black Bear's' anger grew stronger, but it was helpless and could only rage in vain, constantly letting out roars.

As its injuries worsened and its life force rapidly diminished, the 'Giant Rock Black Bear' realized that if it continued fighting, it would be in danger and immediately considered fleeing.

Monsters, especially high-level monsters, are not mindless fools. Once they sense danger, they will try their best to escape and seek revenge later.

"Roar~! Roar~!"

The 'Giant Rock Black Bear' roared, ordering its beast soldiers and generals to find a way to entangle the enemy. At the same time, it ran off in another direction without looking back, breaking the speed of sound in the blink of an eye.

Boom~!

The 'Giant Rock Black Bear' slammed into the wall like a cannonball, creating a large hole in the tower's wall.

Seeing the 'Giant Rock Black Bear' escape, [Boxer] immediately swung his arm, shaking off the several beast-general-level bear monsters that were wrapped around him. With a leap, he flew out of the hole that the 'Giant Rock Black Bear' had smashed open. Then, he raised his gun, aimed, and fired repeatedly at the 'Giant Rock Black Bear's' back.

Pfft~!

A bullet pierced the 'Giant Rock Bear's' knee, causing it to stagger and nearly fall.

But being a powerful lord-level monster, even severely injured, it still managed to keep moving forward, constantly changing direction and trying to use the buildings as cover to shake off the [Boxer]'s pursuit.

However, all this is in vain.

Once outside the confined indoor space, the Boxer's formidable performance was unleashed to its fullest potential in the outdoor environment, its speed soaring to more than twice the speed of sound, leaving the Giant Rock Bear with no chance to escape.

Despite having the advantage, [Boxer] did not rush to finish off the enemy in close combat, but maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far, and continued to shoot with [Ripper].

After being hit by fifty or sixty bullets, the 'Giant Rock Black Bear' finally exhausted its life force, letting out a defiant roar, and its body, like a small mountain, lost its support and collapsed to the ground.

-

Seeing this scene in the base city, Jiang Chen finally felt relieved.

"Jarvis, your subroutines are improving very quickly. You can even predict the opponent's movements when you're shooting," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Jiang Chen was in a great mood because of the boxer's performance in the actual fight.

Jarvis's subroutines, in particular, not only perfectly executed their missions even when disconnected from the network and without the 'main body' or Jiang Chen's commands, but also surprised Jiang Chen with their growth potential in each battle.

At first, he foolishly relied on the Boxer's powerful performance to fight the enemy head-on, but in the end, he was able to take down a mid-level lord-level Giant Rock Black Bear by relying on his range and speed advantages and using a 'kiting' tactic with almost no cost.

Even in shooting alone, the skill level improved from only being able to hit 'fixed targets' to being able to efficiently and accurately predict enemy movements, resulting in a significant increase in hit rate.

Although accurately hitting a monster's vital points in the heat of battle is still difficult, the speed of improvement from only about 50% hit rate against Beast General-level monsters at the beginning to maintaining a hit rate of over 70% when facing Lord-level monsters is astonishing.

“If we’re connected to the internet, my split-off subroutines can learn from each other, which will improve their efficiency even more.” Jarvis didn’t understand the meaning of ‘humility’ at all and readily accepted Jiang Chen’s praise.

"However, the problem that [Riper] has difficulty hitting vital points when dealing with powerful enemies, especially those skilled in speed, is something I overlooked before..." Jiang Chen thought of [Boxer]'s performance in the previous battle and realized that he had been too optimistic when he took out [Riper].

No wonder, whether on Earth or in the universe, the development of technological weapons is mainly focused on laser weapons.

No matter how fast a bullet travels, it can never travel faster than the speed of light.

Once the problems of scattering in the air and insufficient lethality are solved, the hit rate of laser weapons is unmatched by traditional kinetic energy weapons.

However, the latter is not Jiang Chen's area of ​​expertise.

It's impossible to come up with a laser weapon that surpasses the Ripper in a short period of time.

Moreover, Earth itself is not lacking in powerful laser weapons, and there are even laser cannons that can easily kill King-level monsters, but they are too big to be used as individual weapons.

As for individual weapons, the Ripper, despite its flaws, is still an extremely good weapon.

After carefully recalling the performance of the [Boxers] in actual combat, Jiang Chen quickly made a decision and ordered, "Jarvis, help me gather some information and formulate a plan to form the [Boxers] legion."
