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

Chapter 33 You drove first

clang! ! !
Lin Ye's sure-fire strike was unexpectedly blocked head-on by his opponent in an incredibly domineering manner!

The immense recoil caused Lin Ye's staff technique to show signs of collapsing for the first time.

Zhou Kai let out a low roar, his eyes bloodshot, and his whole body seemed to transform into a blood-red lightning bolt.

The battle sword in his hand trailed a blinding blade of light as it slashed down with an overwhelming force!

too fast!
Lin Ye had no time to dodge.

He could only hastily raise his stick, trying to block.

But the next moment, the blade of light, carrying unparalleled power, crashed down, and Lin Ye still couldn't block it.

puff!

Everything went black, and my consciousness returned to the matching space.

[Battle Over!]

You have been defeated!

Lin Ye frowned as he looked at the gray settlement screen.

The opponent's final outburst... was abnormal.

That wasn't an improvement that could be brought about by breakthroughs in cultivation techniques or martial arts skills; it was more like an external force.

[The despicable adventurer used an evil potion, temporarily enhancing his own power!]

It's a real shame you lost, but that's the fate of a boss.

[Friendly reminder: You can use the same methods as adventurers.]

The system, however, seemed to mock Lin Ye as it revealed the true situation.

Lin Ye was stunned.

Then I felt relieved.

Taking drugs?

As expected, humans are more troublesome than wild beasts; he could outsmart a mutated beast.

But it's impossible to predict what outrageous things someone might do in order to win.

……

real world.

Zhou Kai abruptly ripped off the CR wristband, panting heavily, his face flushed an unnatural red.

He won.

But his face showed no joy of victory, only a hint of fear and anger.

He looked down at the small porcelain bottle beside him.

The bottle is printed with three elegant seal characters: "Burning Blood Pill".

Just now, taking advantage of the brief moment when he had distanced himself from his opponent, he broke out of the virtual state and swallowed the pill in one gulp.

The ultimate martial arts battle is a one-to-one reading of the player's real-world strength. Even if someone suddenly becomes stronger, the system may later determine that they are cheating.

But Lone Wolf also wants to win this game!

The pressure was so immense that it suffocated him, causing him to instinctively pull out the trump card his father had bought for him at a high price to save his life.

For Zhou Kai, and even for the truly top students at Dongjiang Experimental Middle School, a Blood Burning Pill might not even be considered a cheat code.

Like martial arts techniques and skills, it is an integral part of combat strength.

It is a martial artist's reasonable resource and a reflection of his inner strength.

However, using it in a virtual battle, especially against a newcomer he had always looked down on...

Zhou Kai felt a little embarrassed.

In order to win a virtual match, or rather, a match he considers a "noob-stomping" game.

He actually used the Blood Burning Pill.

The whiskey at hand and the elegant string music playing in the room felt like the greatest mockery at that moment.

Zhou Kai turned off the music and the ambient lighting in the room, scratched his hair in frustration, and turned on his CR bracelet.

He plans to delete his friends.

Erase this guy called "Goblin Soldier" completely from your world, as if nothing ever happened today.

However, the next second, Zhou Kai found that even though he hadn't said anything, the goblin soldier had sent him a whole bunch of messages.

Zhou Kai clicked on it, already prepared to be met with the other party's curses.

However, the content of the message left him completely stunned.

[Goblin Minion: I'm speechless!]

[Goblin Soldier: Still can't do it?!] [Goblin Soldier: I used Blood Boiling Powder, and I still can't beat you!]

[Goblin minion: I'm so angry!]

Boiling Blood Powder?
Zhou Kai's pupils dilated slightly, and his mind went blank.

It was a forbidden drug that was even lower in quality than the Blood Burning Pill, but with more severe side effects. It cost the user the foundation of their martial arts to achieve a short-term burst of power.

But it's much cheaper.

He... was on drugs too?
This thought was like a bolt of lightning, instantly shattering all the gloom in Zhou Kai's heart.

That's it!

No wonder he's made such great progress today; it turns out he used some kind of unorthodox methods!
All of Zhou Kai's previous frustration, anger, and guilt vanished at this moment.

Instead, there was a sense of relief after sudden realization, and a hint of barely perceptible pity.

Since the opponent also used medicine, my use of the Blood Burning Pill is not bullying the weak, but a fair duel between equals!
In fact, he even won!

This proves that even under the same drug-induced state, his foundation and strength still firmly surpass his!
The corners of Zhou Kai's mouth curved upwards again.

He picked up his glass and downed the remaining whiskey in one gulp. The fiery warmth flowed down his throat, making him feel completely refreshed.

He replied slowly and deliberately, with the magnanimity of someone in a superior position towards someone in a subordinate position.

[Lone Wolf: No wonder you suddenly became so much stronger.]

[Lone Wolf: You must come from a poor family, right? Getting this far is already quite impressive.]

[Lone Wolf: However, I advise you to use things like Boiling Blood Powder less often in the future. In the path of martial arts, a solid foundation is the most important thing. It's not worth ruining your future for a temporary victory.]

Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the "kind advice" sent by the other party.

Thanks to the system.

If the system hadn't directly pointed out the fact that the opponent was using drugs after the defeat, he really wouldn't have thought of using this method to give this mentally unstable "expert" a perfect way to save face.

If the other party gets really angry and deletes you as a friend, the system task may change, but the variables are too great, and the difficulty may actually increase rather than decrease.

For now, the mission objective has been temporarily stabilized.

Lin Ye stood in the battle hall, lost in thought.

We're just one step away from beating him.

Since you're using medication, don't blame me for using it too.

You opened it first.

Lin Ye didn't have any psychological resistance to taking drugs.

He accepts anything that can be converted into real combat power.

Of course, he has an absolute bottom line.

That means we must not damage the foundation.

He would never make such a foolish choice as to cut off his future path for the sake of temporary power.

Lin Ye had already begun to plan in his mind.

I need to go to the school's logistics exchange office tomorrow.

Fortunately, he still had 100,000 Federal Credits left untouched, and his father, Lin Tao, had also sent home his first allowance of 50,000 Union Credits.

Lin Ye didn't plan to use his father's money, but he could use the 100,000 yuan from the scholarship.

I'll take this opportunity to buy some tonics.

Just then, news of Lone Wolf arrived again.

[Lone Wolf: You seem to have potential. You had a pretty good game today.]

[Lone Wolf: Here's what we'll do. I happen to need a sparring partner lately, and you seem pretty good.]

[Lone Wolf: How about three days from now? You'll train with me for two hours tonight, and I'll pay you 5,000 Federal Credits per hour. How about it?]

Lin Ye was taken aback when he saw the message.

Then he smiled with relief.

He was also afraid the fish would escape.

Unexpectedly, the other party thought the same way.

They even actively added bait to their own food.

You get paid, and the task objectives cooperate willingly? Where in the world can you find such a good deal?
Lin Ye replied immediately.

[Goblin Soldier: Okay! Thanks, Wolf!]

Five words, two exclamation marks—the image of a student from a poor, underprivileged background leaps to mind, and Lone Wolf smiles nonchalantly.

My mood has improved again.
