American homeless people, surviving in the city

The situation Lynch least wanted to see has finally come to pass.

All available means of stalling for time have been exhausted. For the next 20 seconds, I can only rely on my body to tough it out!

He had to suppress his nervousness and concentrate with all his might to deal with DeShawn's offensive!

Lynch's nervousness was not unfounded.

People who have never been in a fight may not know that in combat, weight is arguably one of the most important influencing factors.

Body weight and muscle mass are often directly proportional; therefore, greater body weight means greater striking power and dominance. Body weight can also be converted into greater kinetic energy, resulting in greater striking force.

At the same time, the thick layer of fat on a heavy fighter's body can also significantly increase his resistance to blows.

In short, between two athletes with similar experience and skill levels, the heavier athlete often has an overwhelming advantage!

This is why "weight classes" are divided based on the weight of the fighters in various combat sports competitions.

However, at this moment, Lynch was facing DeShawn, who was two orders of magnitude higher than him!

Therefore, even if it only takes twenty seconds, it is definitely a very difficult challenge for Lynch!

Damn it, I finally have to fight... I have to hold on!

Facing DeShawn's straight punch coming straight at him,

Lin Qi gritted his teeth and raised his arms, which were protecting his chest, into a standard defensive stance, blocking his face with his forearms.

The next second, DeShawn's angry punch landed hard on Lynch's arms.

The fists collided with the arms, suddenly unleashing a powerful force.

Lin Qi couldn't control his body at all. He was knocked back several steps by the force before he could barely dissipate the power.

However, before he could regain his footing and assume a defensive stance,

DeShawn quickly lunged forward, twisting his waist and hips, gathering all his strength, and delivered a powerful right hook to Lynch's temple!

If this blow hits, it won't just be a concussion. The powerful force impacting the brain could even cause fractures, fainting, or even massive brain hemorrhage!

But it was too late to reorganize the defense at that moment.

Lin Qi, quick-witted, bent down and barely dodged the powerful blow.

The punch grazed Lin Qi's scalp and slammed into a trash can by the roadside behind him, instantly splashing sewage everywhere and scattering all sorts of garbage all over the ground.

At this moment, the disadvantages of DeShawn's large weight finally became apparent.

Without formal combat training, he often couldn't control his attacks. Once an attack missed, the momentum caused by the force made it impossible for him to control his body and thus he couldn't quickly adjust his attacks!

This gave Lynch an opportunity.

Taking advantage of the opening created by DeShawn's missed attack, he quickly retreated a few steps, readjusted his breathing, and reorganized his defensive stance.

Taking advantage of this precious time, he glanced at the system task panel again:

There are only 5 seconds left to hold on!

DeSean was furious and ashamed after accidentally knocking over a trash can with his fist in front of a crowd, his hands covered in filth.

He glared at Lin Qi angrily: "You damn yellow-skinned monkey, you think you can run away! I'll beat the shit out of you!"

Meanwhile, seeing their leader get the short end of the stick, skinny thug Martin also joined the fray.

The two of them charged at Lin Qi together!

Lin Qi slowly retreated, creating distance, while silently counting down the final moments in his mind:

5, 4, 3, 2...1!

The long 5-second countdown finally ended, and the two thugs rushed in front of Lin Qi again.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment. The instant the system notification that the task was completed popped up in Lin Qi's field of vision, Lin Qi's thoughts raced as he considered his next choice at the fastest speed he had ever done!

[Ding~ Congratulations player, you have successfully completed the daily quest: Emergency Evacuation!]

[Mission complete. Please choose one of the following rewards to claim!]

[Optional:]

[A. Temporary Attribute: Constitution +5 (Unleash every ounce of your body's potential and fight to the bitter end!)]

[B. Marin 1895 lever rifle with 9 rounds of .45 caliber rifle ammunition. (A classic old-fashioned firearm, extremely reliable, and decisively lethal against creatures such as bears and wild boars.)]

【C. Kanto Hunting Knife Technique: Passive Skill. You have mastered a knife technique focused on fighting large animals, applicable to various environments. The larger the enemy, the better the effect. (Hunters and Evenki people in Kanto use this knife technique with simple weapons to fight various large prey.)】

There are three options, each of which is enough to change the current situation.

Lynch thought briefly and quickly.

Option A provides 5 points to his physique, which would bring his physique to 10 points, enough to make Lin Qi's various physical qualities double those of an ordinary person, almost making him a superman.

However, this is a temporary attribute and cannot be retained for a long time, which is a bit of a pity.

Option B provides a gun that is theoretically powerful enough to kill the two thugs with one shot, but at this distance, Lynch probably wouldn't even have time to load the Marlin rifle before he would be knocked to the ground by the two men.

Only option C remains...

Although he had never heard of this "Kanto Hunting Knife Technique" and what kind of skill it was, Lin Qi's physical condition was already comparable to that of an ordinary person, so he was not weak.

If one had the skill, one might be able to defeat this big, fat, black man who only knows brute force!

Moreover, since this swordsmanship is focused on fighting various large animals...

Isn't this tall, muscular Black man, whose mind is full of violence, just like a large animal?

In the blink of an eye, Lynch had made his choice.

He made up his mind, and with a thought, chose the [Kanto Hunting Knife Technique]!

The system interface instantly vanished into thin air, and then the C option entry transformed into a stream of light that floated into Lin Qi's brow.

Countless pieces of knowledge appeared out of nowhere in Lynch's mind. Although they were novel, Lynch felt extremely familiar with them and could use them as easily as if they were his own limbs.

The next second, he opened his eyes.

DeShawn and Martin are almost here.

DeShawn's attacks remained relentless, savagely swinging his fists like a bear, attempting to smash Lynch's face.

Martin's attack was even more cunning; he hid to DeShawn's side, raising his right foot to try and kick Lynch in the groin.

Lin Qi raised his eyebrows. Before his mind could analyze the current situation, his body had already reacted based on the new sword technique he had just acquired.

His upper body suddenly leaned back, causing DeShawn's heavy punch to miss again. Then he bent over, shifted his left leg to the side, and blocked Martin's insidious groin kick.

The thugs were completely taken aback by Lin Qi's ability to dodge their attacks so smoothly. They were stunned for a few seconds and forgot to continue their assault.

However, in a confrontation, every moment of distraction can become a fatal flaw.

Lin Qi walked briskly, putting some distance between himself and the two again, and then looked around.

Having acquired superb swordsmanship skills, the next thing lacking was a suitable sword.

Just then, Lin Qi noticed a glass wine bottle lying on the ground at his feet.

This came from the trash can that DeShawn just knocked over.

This thing... should be usable.

Lin Qi grabbed the bottle and smashed it against the wall.

The bottle shattered instantly, leaving multiple sharp cracks in the broken glass, resembling miniature daggers.

Then, Lin Qi strode forward quickly.

Before DeShawn could react, the sharp glass bottle had already plunged deep into his shoulder!
