Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 246: Is it because he likes her big breasts?
Chicken and Frog Dry Pot Restaurant.

I ordered a large dry pot, plus a serving of egg fried rice and a serving of pumpkin pancakes.

Lu Xiaobei was indeed hungry and didn't even glance at me before starting to eat. Although the food on Thunder God Island was pretty good, I was still eating outside and not feeling very comfortable, so I ate a bit more. The two of us quickly devoured the pot of food.

"Ding Han".

She wiped her mouth and whispered, "Are you with Lin Qingying?"

"not yet."

"Oh?"

Lu Xiaobei lowered her head and chuckled. I don't know how she managed to do that, how she could combine two completely different qualities, cuteness and sleazy, in one person.

"Ding Han".

She continued, "You said you like Lin Qingying, but what exactly do you like about her? Is it because she has big breasts?"

"..."

My mind went completely blank at the question: "Xiao Bei, what's going on in your head all day? Do you think I'm that shallow?"

"Because you're inherently superficial..."

She looked at me, still seemingly unwilling to give up, and said, "You say you like her, but does she like you?"

"like."

"Pah, where do you get your confidence?!"

Lu Xiaobei glared at me angrily: "She's so beautiful, and she's the CEO of Yuening Group. Why would she like you? Do you think everyone is as blinded by greed as I am, liking you like this guy!"

"She said it herself."

"..."

Lu Xiaobei was stunned and slumped into the chair like a deflated balloon.

Her eyes were visibly red.

"Xiaobei..."

I said softly, "I'm sorry, I can't decide who I like. I can only be friends with you. I hope you can understand."

"Ding Han".

With tears welling up in her eyes, she said, "If I had allowed you to live with me back in Xicheng, would we be together now?"

"Yes."

I don't deny it, because Lu Xiaobei is indeed a good person. If Lin Qingying hadn't appeared, if Aken and Lu's father hadn't appeared later, and if the love hotel incident hadn't happened, I might have been able to get together with her after things stabilized in the game.

But there aren't that many "what ifs" in this world.

"I regret it so much..." Lu Xiaobei was on the verge of tears.

A few middle-aged men eating dry pot nearby looked over.

One of them shook his head, seemingly deeply moved, and whispered, "We're living in bliss but we don't know how good we have it. If we don't cherish it now, we'll regret it later..."

The other one also gave Lu Xiaobei a deep look, then glanced at me, shook his head to indicate that he didn't understand.

"We're done eating, let's go."

I got up and left with Lu Xiaobei. Walking down the street, the early spring wind blew on my face, carrying seven parts chill and three parts warmth. It was afternoon now, so I was too lazy to go to Luo Mei for another half-day of work. So I asked, "Xiaobei, when are you leaving?"

"I just wanted to come here and give you a piece of my mind."

Lu Xiaobei said softly, "Once I see the person, I won't be able to bring myself to scold them. Don't send me away. I'll be leaving soon. My flight back to Beihai is at 10 p.m.

"Ah."

I nodded: "Let's go back to the internet cafe then, let's go find Old K to play games."

"it is good!"

Her eyes immediately lit up.

So, I spent the whole afternoon with Lu Xiaobei. Along with Lao K and Xiao Mei, the four of us downloaded a private server launcher for Legend of Mir and bravely ventured into the pig cave, causing chaos and destruction.

They played until six o'clock, when Old K treated everyone to dinner. So they ate at a nearby private restaurant, and after dinner, they took a taxi to send Lu Xiaobei to the airport.

The airport is bustling with people.

Lu Xiaobei, with her bag slung over her shoulder and long hair, stood out in the crowd. She waved to me with her back turned, indicating that I should stop seeing her off, and then took her boarding pass and walked into the security checkpoint.

"Lu Xiaobei!"

I shouted through the bustling crowd, "Don't fly over every few days like this anymore, it's exhausting!"

"I want you to take care of it!"

With red eyes, she disappeared into the crowd.

I stood there, stunned, for several minutes before finally turning around, leaving the airport, and hailing a taxi to go home.

……

It was around 10 p.m. at night.

"Click~~"

When the door opened, Lin Qingying was engrossed in her work, with her desk piled high with documents from the Yuening Group.

"Ying, I'm back."

I walked up to her, leaned on the coffee table, and looked at her.

"Ah."

Lin Qingying smiled and said, "Are you tired? Take a rest."

"It's not me who needs to rest, it's you."

I looked at her and said, "Don't you know how Zhuge Liang died in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? He did everything himself, personally handling every single task. How much energy can a person have? How could he possibly endure that?"

As I spoke, I pointed to the documents on the table: "These things could have been distributed to subordinates like directors and managers, but you insisted on doing it yourself."

"All right……"

Lin Qingying did not refute, but smiled gently: "So why does the Prime Minister insist on doing everything personally? It's because his subordinates are unreliable. He sent Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou, and it was lost. He sent Ma Su to guard Jieting, and it was lost too. My situation is even worse than the Prime Minister's. At least the people under the Prime Minister are loyal to him. As for the people I can use now..."

She sighed, "I have no idea when they'll try to trip me up."

I was surprised that she knew so much about the Three Kingdoms period, and I was immediately annoyed.

"Ding Han".

Lin Qingying pursed her red lips: "I really need someone I can trust by my side. Think about it again, do you want to come work in Yuening?"

"We've already discussed this matter."

I said with some helplessness: "First of all, I'm not cut out for business management. Secondly, I have too many things to do and can't focus my energy on work. Besides, if I go to Yuening, you'll definitely try your best to promote me, and then people will inevitably gossip behind my back and say I'm a freeloader."

As soon as the words "living off a woman" were mentioned, Lin Qingying immediately stopped insisting; she cared a lot about my dignity.

"You go ahead and do your work for a bit, I'll take a shower, then I'll cook some egg noodles and we'll eat together."

"Uh-huh!"

After showering, I started cooking noodles. I added four eggs, two for each of us.

Lin Qingying accepted the documents and ate noodles with me face to face.

"How's the situation at the Yuening Energy plant going?" I asked.

"I've delegated it to my subordinates."

Lin Qingying said, "All the necessary public relations work has been done. The relevant departments are investigating the cause of the accident. There's nothing for me to do next. I just need to stay at headquarters and take command."

"That's good."

I nodded and didn't interfere too much with her work.

……

After finishing her meal, Lin Qingying went to take a shower.

After thinking about it for a moment, I realized that it wasn't appropriate to stand outside and listen to her taking a shower, so I went straight into the room, crawled into bed, and played on my phone for a while.

Around 11:30.

"drop!"

Suddenly, I received a WeChat message from Lao Ma: "Ding Han! Two orange-tier items appeared on the black market for players in Huaining City today, including a heavy armor leggings. I told the person selling the leggings to wait a bit. How long will it take you to get here?"

"Soon, ten minutes!"

"OK, I'll be waiting for you!"

So I quickly got dressed and went downstairs. Once I got downstairs, I didn't take a taxi. Instead, I found a secluded spot and retrieved my off-road motorcycle!
This vehicle was already registered when it was purchased, and since motorcycles are not banned in Huaining City, it can be ridden in the city.

"Om~~~"

With the engine roaring, it sped up the elevated road in the night, traveling smoothly all the way. In less than ten minutes, it had already entered the player black market, put away the motorcycle, and headed straight to the exchange.

"Ding Han!"

Old Ma came over, pointed to a burly, honest-looking man behind him, and said with a smile, "This is the brother who sells the orange leg guards. You can talk to him."

"OK!"

I turned to look at the man. His face was dark, and his ID was "Remove My Armor," level 45. You could tell at a glance that he wasn't very bright.

"So it was Master Zhu Ying..."

He grinned and said, "My apologies, Old Liu just told me to wait. I thought it was someone else."

"Old Liu..."

I was slightly taken aback. Wasn't that Old Ma?
"Brother, let's find somewhere to talk."

"Row!"

So the two went to the base of the wall, sat down by the flowerpots, and began a secret discussion.

Can I take a look at the goods first?

"can!"

The next moment, he revealed a pair of exquisitely crafted leg guards. His gaze lingered for a moment, and strands of text and data immediately appeared—

【Storm Knee】(Quality: Orange)
Rank: Tier 3

Defense: 185
Strength: +40
Spirit: +39
Blessing: Damage reduction +4%
Blessing: Mighty Force - II, increases attack power by 300 points.
Blessing: Resilience, increases own health by 2500 points.

Strength required: 800
Required Agility: 350
……

'Holy crap...'

The moment I saw the stats, my heart skipped a beat. It was such a top-tier leg guard! Damage reduction + Mighty Force II. This thing is definitely one of the best defensive equipment right now!
"These leg guards are alright..."

I chuckled heartily, secretly plotting how to negotiate a lower price.

He smiled and said, "I am a genetic warrior. In theory, I can use these leg guards myself, but I'm poor... I desperately need money, so I plan to sell these leg guards to raise some money and improve my genetic warrior skills. To be honest, without skill enhancements, the combat power of a genetic warrior is really too average."

"so……"

I tentatively asked, "How much are you planning to pay for this?"

"If you want to buy it with Star Coins, the price will definitely not be low."

He held up three fingers and laughed, "If you can afford three million star coins, I'll pay for these leg guards."

"I rely on..."

I almost stood up abruptly. This thing is so dark! It must have come from Africa!

"Or, we can trade it for the skills of gene warriors."

He grinned and said, "You know, the skill drop rate for us gene warriors is too low. So far, I haven't collected all the second and third-tier general skills. I'm missing the second-tier Bone Armor Reconstruction, and the third-tier Bio-Force Field Shield, Holy Blood Boiling, and Muscle Burst. If you can collect all four of these skills, I'll trade my leg armor for them!"

The other party's offer was actually quite reasonable. This orange-grade top-quality leg armor was indeed worth three Tier 3 skills and one Tier 2 skill, but I didn't have any of those skills.

So, with a wave of his hand, he took out a golden S-rank skill book from his interdimensional storage space and said, "I don't have those four trash skills, but I have this."

Holy crap~~~

The moment the other person's gaze fell on the skill book, their eyes widened in disbelief!
……

After seeing the look in the other person's eyes, I knew what was going on.

What are second-tier and third-tier skills compared to fourth-tier S-class skills!
"Base...gene devouring..."

He stared in disbelief as I removed my armor, his eyes filled with eager anticipation.

"How about it?"

I raised an eyebrow slightly: "An S-rank skill, isn't that enough to trade for these leg guards of yours?"

"This one……"

He hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to add something.

"Don't hesitate."

I said calmly, "These orange leg guards are not bad, but they are still just transitional equipment. When the first piece of cyan equipment comes out in the whole server, they will start to depreciate. But this S-level gene devouring will not depreciate. I can wait, but can you?"

"Nima..."

He finally stopped hesitating: "Okay, deal!"

"OK!"

I gladly opened the trade panel, placed the Gene Devourer, and the other party placed the Storm Battle Knee. The trade was completed in the next moment.

"gone."

I waved my hand and left the exchange. When I arrived at the courtyard, I immediately equipped the Storm Warrior Knee. A bell rang in my ear. Sure enough, I got the full orange gear achievement!

[System Notification: Since you have already met the requirement of "full set of orange or higher equipment", the hidden set effect has been triggered: Attack Power +50%, Armor +50%. Furthermore, as you are the first player to meet this condition, you receive the following rewards: Achievement +6, Charisma +2, and an additional reward: [Solo Dungeon Crystal - Interdimensional Arena] (Nightmare Difficulty ★★★★)!]

Wow, that's a really generous reward!
Not only did I get achievements and charm rewards, but I even got a four-star crystal!
If all goes well, I'll likely get the first solo 4-star dungeon achievement in the entire server if I clear this solo dungeon. After all, 4-star dungeons are too difficult for the average player.

comfortable!
I returned to my place, gently opened and closed the door, and went to sleep!

As for the dungeon crystals, no rush, I'll do them after work tomorrow!
……

The next day, Luo Mei.

All morning, Fatty and I were still engrossed in repairing machines, accumulating a lot of skill experience.

"Ding Han".

The fat man placed a newly repaired laptop aside and said, "Do you think all this skill experience I've accumulated is of no use?"

"How much skill experience do you have?" I asked.

"40+, tell me, is that a lot or not?"

"There really aren't many..."

I said speechlessly, "It takes 5+ experience points to level up a skill to level 10. With your current skill experience, you can only upgrade two basic skills to the fourth tier at most. There's nothing to be proud of. Keep up the good work. Your work efficiency is too low."

"Okay, I might have been a little lax."

The fat man said, "By the way, I have something to tell you. I'm taking the day off after get off work today. I'm going to go with Cai Cai, Ruo Lin, and the others to the level 40 alien species area in Chenhui Plain to kill aliens. I'm not taking you this time. We need to catch up in levels, otherwise you'll fall too far behind."

"Yeah, reasonable."

I nodded and smiled: "That's great, everyone is very motivated."

"Absolutely, they're very ambitious!"

afternoon.

"Ding!" A message came from Lin Qingying: "I have a meeting at five o'clock today, which will end around five-thirty. Shall we go home together then? Also, the bag of roasted chestnuts you gave me in Xicheng tasted pretty good."

"That bag of roasted chestnuts..."

My lips twitched slightly: "Zhao Yihang bought it. I'll ask about the brand. I'll buy the chestnuts first, then I'll wait for you at your place?"

"Okay, have Shen Man come upstairs to pick you up."

……

So I sent Zhao Yihang a message: "Um... what brand of chestnuts did you buy in Xicheng last year?"

"Xiao Youtian, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'll just ask."

"wrong!"

Zhao Yihang sent a Conan-like alert emoji: "You never pay attention to me when nothing's wrong, something must be up. Could it be that beautiful woman driving the Bentley asked you that?"

"Guessed it right."

"Depend on……"

Zhao Yihang asked, "Brother...did she ask you to buy chestnuts?"

"Ah."

"Is she also in Huaining City? When will I have a chance to meet her...?"

Zhao Yihang said, "To be honest... I dreamed about her a few times afterward."

"Depend on!"

I sent an angry emoji: "You didn't have any weird dreams, did you? She could become your sister-in-law someday, you better be careful!"

"No, no, it's not what you think."

Zhao Yihang sent a smirking emoji: "I can only look up to her, how could I dare to have any presumptuous thoughts? I wouldn't even dare to touch her in my dreams, I can only watch from afar."

He hadn't changed at all; he still exuded the aura of a loser.

……

After get off work, I went straight to the alley behind Luomei Plaza, where there was a roasted chestnut shop of the same brand. I spent 30 yuan to buy a full bag, then put it in the storage space to keep it warm, and turned to walk towards the Yuening Group building.

Downstairs, Shen Man, wearing her work badge, was already waiting. She smiled and said, "President Lin is still in a meeting. Shall we go upstairs together?"

"it is good."

So the two of them went upstairs to Lin Qingying's office. Shen Man poured me a cup of tea and then went about her business.

I paced back and forth in the office, then looked at Lin Qingying's chair.

I wonder what it feels like to sit in the chair of the CEO of Yuening Group.

He tiptoed forward and sat down in the chair.

"Whoo~~~"

Suddenly, my ambition soared, and I felt like I had become a business genius who could navigate the business battlefield with ease, strategizing and maneuvering with confidence.

Looking down, I saw that the drawer was slightly open, and inside were piles of pebbles.

"what?"

I frowned. Why would a CEO like her keep these stones in her drawer? So I opened the drawer and carefully moved the pebbles aside one by one. I found that each one was very smooth and had pretty patterns. It was very likely that Lin Qingying had carefully selected them.

As for where it was chosen, it was most likely picked up from under a tree on the roadside downstairs.

For a moment, I couldn't help but smile. Although Lin Qingying was a person who was busy and overwhelmed every day, collecting these pebbles with pretty colors and shapes seemed to be the only fun she could find.

Just as I brushed aside a layer of pebbles, I found three photos underneath.

The top photo is of Lin Qingying with her business partners in the Yuening Hall. The second photo is of her with her parents. And the bottom photo, when I lifted a corner of it, made me shudder.

That photo looked very familiar. It was the very photo of me stabbing Vega with my sword during the Battle of Xicheng. The spurting blood, the leaping figure, the tattered cloak, and the pancake bear pendant that was spinning around my waist and was charred black!

wrong……

Suddenly, my heart sank. I quickly closed the drawer, then sat in the chair, dumbfounded, my heart pounding!
Lin Qingying kept this photo, which means she already knew everything. After all, she personally handed me the pancake bear, and you can also see some clues from the profile in the photo!
She knew that the player who killed Vega in Xicheng was actually me; she always knew!

So when I came to Huaining City from Jiangning City in a sorry state, Lin Qingying's attitude was much better than before when she met me again. Could it be because of this incident?

Forget it.

I got up from her desk, and when I heard footsteps outside, I immediately took out some hot roasted chestnuts from my storage space. Then I saw Lin Qingying push the door open and enter.

"Here."

I handed him the roasted chestnuts and asked with a smile, "Want some milk tea?"

"No, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep and it will interfere with my work." She still looked worried when she heard that she was going to have milk tea that night.

"Okay, shall we go home?"

"Ah."

So I helped her carry her heavy notebook and work materials, while Lin Qingying held roasted chestnuts in her arms with a big smile on her face, and the two of them entered the elevator together.

It was rush hour, and the elevators stopped on almost every floor.

"Mr. Lin..."

An executive nodded respectfully.

Several employees also looked over and saw that Lin Qingying, who was usually serious, was holding roasted chestnuts, and they all smiled.

"Mr. Lin, who is this?"

Finally, a senior executive wearing a manager's badge smiled and looked at me.

"he is my friend."

"oh oh……"

The other person smiled at me, and I smiled and nodded back; I couldn't be shy at this moment.

In the parking garage, I drove while Lin Qingying sat in the passenger seat, intently eating chestnuts.

Along the way, the two chatted about some interesting things and soon arrived near the neighborhood. They parked the car in a roadside parking space and went into a Chaoshan beef hot pot restaurant.

After eating and drinking our fill, we went home together.

As for the fact that I am a player, I did not confess on my own initiative. I will talk about it later. For a moment, I did not know how to bring it up with Lin Qingying. She is such an intelligent person that she will naturally point it out when the time is right.

……

In the evening, the living room was warm and cozy. Lin Qingying opened her laptop and continued working.

I changed my clothes and walked out of the room, saying, "Xiaoying, I'm going out for a bit."

"Oh, are you coming back tonight?" she asked.

"He'll most likely be back, don't worry."

"Well, let's go."

She continued working with her head down, while I opened the door and left, going into the residential area.

In the square, the aunties had already started dancing, while I took out the dungeon crystal and activated it. With a "whoosh," a teleportation portal appeared 40 meters away, right under a rather dim tree. It was rare to find the dungeon portal so close this time!
So he stepped into the darkness, activated his bio-optical cloaking, and then, in stealth mode, weaved through the crowd of square-dancing aunties, dashing into the portal. Immediately, a series of dinging sounds filled his ears—

[Please note that your team has unlocked the solo dungeon Crystal Arena (Nightmare difficulty ★★★★)!]

[You have entered the map: The Secret Beast Breeding Arena of the Star Maple Federation!]

[Objective: Survive all five rounds of challenges and defeat the Soul-Devouring Beast!]

[Hint: There are no tricks, only skill!]

……

"Shh-"

A blinding light suddenly filled the entire world, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself standing in the center of a huge arena, holding a power sword.

The arena was enormous, comparable to a football field, and was surrounded by steel railings and energy shields. The stands were packed with people, and the roar of the crowd was deafening.

"Dear viewers!"

Suddenly, a holographic figure appeared in the sky. It was a guy with a small mustache holding a microphone. He looked over with a mocking smile: "The next one to appear is a skinny guy. I wonder how many rounds he can last under the onslaught of the alien beasts, or if he'll be killed in one move. Hahahaha~~~~"

The audience burst into laughter, followed by a barrage of boos.

I frowned, wondering if these people were real, or perhaps they were just holographic projections used to create an atmosphere, commonly known as an "atmosphere group."

"Kid, are you ready?"

The host with the mustache said with a mocking smile, "Next up, please welcome our first challenger, the beast Hawk!"

“Zizi~~”

Not far away, the guardrail was charging, making a buzzing sound. Then a heavy iron gate opened, and a figure as strong as an ox rushed out. It was indeed a genetically mutated beast.

"Roar!"

The beast named Hawk suddenly opened its blood-red maw and roared, with several forked tongues protruding from its mouth at the same time, which looked rather frightening. Then, without saying a word, it charged forward!

Level 55, purple BOSS, no problem!
The moment the opponent charged at me, I immediately raised my hand and unleashed a triple combo of Heavenly Craftsmanship, Unstoppable Force, and War Cry. Then, I charged forward at short distance with explosive power, leaving Hawk in place with a "whoosh." I turned around and unleashed a complete set of control and damage skills, instantly reducing Hawk's health bar by nearly half!
"Ho~~~"

It suddenly opened its blood-red maw and roared, its forked tongue flailing wildly.

"I'm going to your mother!"

He quickly raised his hand and threw two grenades with the pins removed into its mouth. Just as the creature flicked its tongue to try and spit out the grenades, he immediately opened fire with a bullet gun. The muzzle flashes "bang bang bang" as he fired all 50 bullets into the creature's mouth without missing a single one!

"Shh!"

Hawke was about to wreak havoc when an energy blade was thrust into his forehead, causing him to crackle and be electrocuted to the ground!
I quickly switched to the UZI, emptying all the bullets in an instant, and then switched to the bomb gun. When I had emptied about half of the bullets in the magazine, Hawk let out a wail and collapsed limply!

too fast!
The orange bomb gun and UZI already have extremely high firepower, with every shot a headshot. Moreover, my current damage increase effect has reached 40%, and my shooting damage has also increased by 40%. In addition, with an 18% critical hit rate, ordinary purple bosses might not even last a minute under my attack!
"Ow~~~"

Hawke let out a wail and collapsed to the ground, blood spreading rapidly.

……

"..."

The arena was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

The next second, deafening cheers erupted, and countless spectators waved their arms. These people only sought sensory stimulation; they didn't care who won, as long as someone won.

"He actually won..."

The mustachioed host exclaimed in astonishment, "His movements are so swift, his marksmanship so precise... Alright, I've decided to give him a name now. From this moment on, he's called Lightning!"

"Lightning! Lightning! Lightning!"

The audience cheered again.

I was holding my power sword, speechless at the sight.

"Next, please welcome the next challenger!"

The heavy steel prison door rose again, and a figure slowly walked out. It was a white-browed, fierce tiger with bulging eyes, its body mutated and severely corrupted. Its eyes were sinister, and it stared at me intently after stepping out of the cage.

"The one entering the arena is the White Reaper, who has devoured 13 human warriors in this very arena—a full 13!"

The mustachioed host said with an exaggerated expression, "Let's wait and see if lightning can escape the clutches of the white grim reaper!"

I frowned and looked at the other party. A flower full of sharp teeth had grown on the belly of the genetically mutated white tiger, and half of its body had turned into a plant. It looked a bit creepy, but it was still a level 55 purple BOSS and could not pose a threat to me.

"S-1, switch all bomb gun ammo to molten metal rounds!"

"Yes, Commander!"

The auto-loading robot got busy, while I started with Heavenly Craftsmanship and Battle Cry, using my power sword to take away over 7 of the opponent's health. There was no other way; the cooldown of Unstoppable Force was a bit long, and the battle was intense, so I had to save Unstoppable Force for the stronger boss later!

The next moment, he retreated rapidly, took out a bomb gun loaded with molten metal bullets, and aimed at the flower and vines on the belly of the mutated tiger, firing rapidly with "bang bang bang". Instantly, molten metal bullets exploded on the opponent's belly, turning into flame scars that continuously burned the plant tissue inside.

In an instant, the tiger howled in agony, rolling on the ground in pain, its health bar dropping rapidly!
Switch to the UZI and continue the headshot attack!
This time it was even simpler; a direct long-range shot was enough to take down the opponent!

"Lightning! Lightning! Lightning!"

Around the arena, the enthusiastic spectators went wild again. Many male spectators swung their fists, while some female spectators went even crazier, tearing off their bras and shouting with pride.

"what?"

I was stunned. Thank goodness this was in "Star Abyss". This scene would definitely not pass censorship in a domestic game!
"We never expected that this little guy, Lightning, would bring us so many surprises. Even the White Reaper fell to his gun. In that case, please welcome the third contestant!"

Another heavy prison door hummed and rose, from which emerged a emaciated figure—a level 55 purple splitter. However, he was not a simple splitter; his abdomen was covered with parasites. These parasites possessed life, croaking and even opening their mouths to reveal sharp teeth.

It's a little creepy, but it's not a big problem!

As usual, I used a melee combo to take down the opponent's armor first, then used the Dragon Binding Rope and Energy Blade Throw to control them, and used the orange bomb gun and UZI to suppress the opponent's health. In less than half a minute, I finished them off!

"Oh my god..."

The mustachioed host was truly shocked: "Even the separatist thugs were killed by lightning... This competition has been incredibly shocking, but..."

He revealed a malicious smile: "The last two challengers are the real strongmen. Can Lightning overcome them? Next, please welcome the fourth challenger!"

"Ho~~~"

On the right, a cage began to shake violently. Before it was fully raised, a body burst out of the cage with a "thud." It was a giant warthog covered in sharp spikes. Moreover, it not only had spikes, but also a scorpion tail covered in dark carapace. Its eyes stared intently at them.

"The fourth challenger is the legendary Stinger! It once fought a bloody battle against a captured third-generation Space Marine from the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, disemboweling him and devouring all his internal organs. It has always been known as a ferocious beast!"

The mustachioed host sneered, "I wonder if Lightning, with his superb combat skills, can get past Poison Sting!"

The surrounding stands were also silent; many people were stunned by the strange beast that had rushed out.

I frowned. The fourth level was actually a level 55 orange BOSS. Although the BOSS in the dungeon was slightly weaker than the one outside, it wasn't that much weaker!

This four-star solo dungeon is insanely difficult!
"Ho~~~"

The giant warthog roared and charged forward like a small train.

"Shh!"

The energy blade was thrown directly and struck the opponent's forehead with a "crack." An electric current surged through the air, causing the giant warthog to grunt and slide forward on all fours!

The game started with the same "Heavenly Creation" and "Battle Cry" combo, but this time the player didn't rush in. Instead, they used a bomb gun and UZI to unleash a barrage of fire on the opponent's head. Blood splattered everywhere, and the giant warthog's health bar dropped rapidly. However, the opponent's armor was very high, so the firepower wasn't as strong as expected!
The moment the opponent got up again, I fired a Dragon Binding Rope, keeping it lying in place. Then I quickly switched between the two guns and emptied both magazines!
At this point, the giant warthog's numerous half-meter-long spikes that were densely packed in front of me finally parted to the sides under my fire, creating space for melee attacks!

"Pong!"

He charged forward with explosive power, unleashing a devastating combo of basic attacks, combo slashes, basic attacks, Ash Sweep, basic attacks, Rising Dragon Slash, and basic attacks in a rapid, relentless barrage!

In an instant, the clanging sounds continued. With my subconscious slashing, the spikes around the giant warthog's head were all cut off by the power sword, turning it into a bald head.

"Ho~~~"

He continued his rampage, unleashing another combo of basic attack + chilling star + basic attack + dragon blade + basic attack + ground spike + basic attack + blood-draining frenzy + basic attack. Then he quickly retreated, pulled out his UZI again, and unleashed a barrage of bullets at the opponent's split head!
At this point, the grease layer and armor on the giant warthog's head had been cleaved open, and when fired at with a submachine gun, the firepower was almost at full strength, dealing ample damage!
The next step is easy.

He kept kiting the fourth challenger around the arena, making him scream and howl, but he was powerless to fight back. After about five minutes, with a wail, the fourth challenger also fell down!
The entire arena was instantly engulfed by the enthusiastic shouts and cheers of countless spectators, giving people a ridiculous sense of satisfaction for no reason.

"lightning!"

"lightning!"

"lightning!"
