Strange Rules: It doesn't matter, the system will take care of it.

Even if you lose your head, can you still talk?

Chen Feng was horrified. He truly had no idea how to kill a headless creature that could still live.

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it.

The water ghost went straight for the head on the ground, intending to crush it.

But then, whoosh! A sudden change occurred.

Driven by the proprietress's will, the human skins hanging in the third-floor lobby instantly came to life and flew towards the water ghost as if they were sentient.

As the saying goes, a single chopstick can be easily broken, but ten chopsticks held together can be firmly bound together.

Even a single human skin, if torn to shreds by a water ghost, would be pulverized. But when hundreds of human skins pounced on it together, they pinned the water ghost to the ground, rendering it unable to move.

"broken!"

Chen Feng was holding his head in his hands; at this point, all he could do was cheer him on from the sidelines.

Although creatures that see snake demons will turn to stone, they must first have eyes!

"Get up! Don't you want revenge anymore?"

At Chen Feng's call, the water ghost let out a low growl and struggled to get up, but its injuries were too severe. Every time it stood up, the human skin pressed it down again.

If they are at their peak, they might have a chance.

Chen Feng lowered his head, pulled out the heavy motorcycle baton he had swiped from Lao Li, and decided to take matters into his own hands.

To catch the thief, first catch the king. If we smash the boss's head first, these people will probably stop.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng slammed his stick into the ground.

With a loud bang, it smashed half of the proprietress's face.

"Did it...did it succeed?"

Chen Feng looked at the pieces of flesh on the ground, and suddenly his vision went black. He felt a wave of weakness wash over him. When he turned his head, he realized that a piece of human skin had been secretly wrapped around his back.

Damn it, go to hell!

Chen Feng violently flung off the human skin, and at that moment, some red, firefly-like specks of light scattered from the skin and flew towards the landlady.

The moment those red light spots merged in, countless bright red fleshy sprouts immediately emerged from the proprietress's shattered head, growing rapidly at an inhuman speed. The grayish-white stone shell on her face also peeled off quickly, revealing blood-red skin.

Are these points of light healing the proprietress?

Chen Feng instantly understood that if the landlady was like a mosquito, then these human skins were her mouthparts. The more energy the human skins absorbed, the faster the landlady would recover.

A moment later, the proprietress put the head back on and said with a smile, "Handsome, it seems we've only met once, but you know me very well. You not only know how to get to the third floor, but you even brought my dead husband with you."

Chen Feng gave a wry smile, wanting to resist, but because his strength had been drained, he could barely stand: "Is this all you can do? Why don't you fight us fair and square!"

He appeared righteous and indignant, accusing the landlady of using underhanded tactics, but just as the landlady lowered her guard, Chen Feng suddenly threw a hidden weapon at her.

"Handsome, you're so naughty, I like it..."

The proprietress caught the hidden weapon, only to find that it was a tear gas canister with the pin pulled.

An explosion!

The proprietress was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground. Without her control, the human skins immediately stopped moving.

Seizing the opportunity, the water ghost broke free and lunged at the landlady. This was its last chance, but just as it was about to succeed, the landlady's figure suddenly blurred and reappeared several meters away.

It can also teleport?

Chen Feng gasped.

It can use human skin to absorb the enemy's stamina to heal its injuries, enter dreams to kill people from afar, and even teleport to evade attacks. Such a troublesome monster is truly a cause for despair.

The first strike missed.

The proprietress once again used the human skin to suppress the water ghost. As it continued to absorb the blood, the water ghost quickly turned into a pool of corpse oil.

The water ghost (temporarily subdued) has disappeared.

[Wish Quest Failed!]

"It's your turn."

The proprietress approached Chen Feng step by step, her high heels clicking softly on the floor.

Chen Feng stared at his opponent, completely unafraid: "Come on! Kill me."

All you want is my life! Here you go!

The proprietress said in surprise, "You certainly have backbone."

Chen Feng snorted coldly. Trading one's life for the other party's information was a worthwhile deal.

"Next time, next time give me a cultivation system, and I'll slay this evil thing with a single immortal sword strike."

As the proprietress drew closer, Chen Feng felt his eyelids grow incredibly heavy. Eventually, his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground. Just like before, his skin began to dry out and turn ashen, eventually becoming nothing more than an empty shell.

Number of save/load attempts: 4

Chen Feng slowly opened his eyes.

The proprietress, He Ting, said, "Handsome, you don't look well. You'd better find somewhere to take shelter from the rain before it starts."

Chen Feng nodded and readily agreed, "Yes, yes!"

"Would you like to take shelter from the rain here?"

"Yes! Of course I want it!" Chen Feng grabbed the landlady's hand. "I'm a homeless man, I have no money for food, could you give me a job as an internet cafe manager?"

Another prey has taken the bait.

The proprietress was secretly delighted, but hesitated before asking, "Do you want to join us?"

"Please let me join your team."

Chen Feng grasped the proprietress's hand with a sincere expression.

As Chen Feng followed the proprietress into the store, he bumped into Lao Li and Zhang Ruobing leaving. Suddenly remembering something, he reminded her, "Officer, there's something I want to tell you."

Old Li asked, "What?"

Chen Feng said seriously, "You absolutely must not go into the water today, or you will die."

Old Li just found it funny: "Why would I go into the water for no reason?"

A clicking sound echoed in the air.

Zhang Ruobing said, "You're crazy, Master. Let's go."

Everything that needed to be done has been done.

After the last battle, Chen Feng understood that in this kind of battle between monsters, Lao Li and his team could only provide limited help. The most crucial point was that in the boss battle against the landlady, the more teammates there were, the more targets would have their stamina drained by the human skin, making the landlady even more difficult to defeat.

So this time, it'll only take me and the water ghost.

Chen Feng checked the system:

[Water Ghost (Temporarily Recaptured)]

Status: Healthy

Yes, the water ghost has recovered again, and this time it's at its peak.

Now all we need to do is wait for the rain to summon the water ghost ashore.

After completing the preparations, Chen Feng began to examine the newly arrived box.

Numbered XX-01-DKQD, it says: "Ascend the heavenly path, walk with songs, and with a flick of the finger, cover the sky."

XX, a fantasy/martial arts world!

really come?

Chen Feng was overjoyed, but when he noticed the number 01 at the end, he calmed down as if doused with cold water.

Grass!

It's a task system!

Simply put, this system, like the Great Philanthropist and Great Villain systems, is the type that issues tasks to allow Chen Feng to earn points.

But Chen Feng is now going to fight the boss's wife to the death, and what he needs is not some damn points, but an immediate increase in combat power.

What good are system points if you can't spend them?

Moreover, the missions in the world of immortals and heroes sound incredibly difficult. What if Chen Feng were given a super mission like "eliminating the First Saint Demon Sect" or "stopping the Dark Turmoil"? How could he, a mere mortal, possibly complete it?

After much deliberation, Chen Feng finally chose LS--02-SHSG, a historical exchange system that had been with him for a long time, but he hadn't chosen it before because he didn't have any points.

Now let's open it and see what's going on.

Upon opening the box, the system notification appeared as expected.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully activating the Mythical Three Kingdoms system]
