You'll become a god, you'll create Earth ONLINE

"It works! It really works!"

The fat man shouted excitedly.

"Take this 'Dog-Beating Stick Technique'!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhao Lei rushed forward, swung the old plastic broom with both hands, and smashed it hard against the cockroach's carapace.

"Bang!"

Another number has appeared.

"-2!"

But the cockroach's health bar was only 50/50 when it lost just a tiny bit of fur!

Zhao Lei's expression changed.

"Damn, this monster's defense is too high; even a broom can't break through its defenses!"

Even more critically, the blinding effect lasts only 3 seconds.

The cockroach quickly regained its sight, and enraged, it swung its head violently, its spiky forelegs scraping hard against Zhao Lei's thigh.

"Sizzle—"

Zhao Lei felt a sharp pain in his thigh as his jeans were ripped open, and blood seeped out.

A red number also appeared above Zhao Lei's head:

"-5!"

[Warning: Player Zhao Lei's health is decreasing, current HP: 95/100, and he has been affected by the "Slight Infection" debuff.]

"Boss!"

When they saw real blood being drawn, the atmosphere in the dormitory instantly became tense and deadly.

"This thing isn't a hologram! People can really die!"

"Poke its belly! The system notification says its weak point is its belly!"

Su Hao, who had been hiding in the back, shouted.

"I'll do it!"

Chen Fei stood on the bed, looking down at the cockroach. He held a two-meter-long aluminum clothesline pole in his hand, aimed it at the cockroach's frantically writhing abdomen, and stabbed it down hard like stabbing a fish.

"Pfft!"

The blow was powerful and heavy; the sharp end of the clothesline pierced the thin membrane on the cockroach's abdomen, causing it to burst out with a clump of disgusting green slime.

"Hiss—!!!"

The monster let out a piercing scream.

A large yellow critical hit number popped up above its head.

"-15!" (Weakness attack!)

My health bar dropped drastically in an instant!

"Well done, third brother!"

Su Hao's eyes sharpened

"Fatty, keep spraying it! Don't let it move!"

"I'm out of mosquito repellent!"

Fatty Wang pressed the bottle down hard, but all that could be heard was the hissing sound of air leaking out.

Driven by excruciating pain, the mutated cockroach went into a complete frenzy.

It suddenly turned around, ignoring Zhao Lei in front of it, and flapped its disgusting fleshy wings on its back, its whole body suddenly leaping into the air, its target Chen Fei on the bed!

"Holy crap, it can fly!"

Chen Fei was so startled that his hand trembled, and the clothesline pole fell directly to the ground.

As the serrated mouth rapidly magnified before his eyes, Chen Fei's mind went blank.

"Get down here right now!"

Just at this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the side.

It's Su Hao!

He gripped the brick-like book "Advanced Mathematics" tightly with both hands, and like a volleyball spiker, he leaped high into the air using the momentum of a running start.

"Taste the weight of knowledge, you piece of trash!"

"Bang!!!"

A calculus book of several hundred pages, with the force of Mount Tai, landed precisely and forcefully on the head of the mutated cockroach!

This strike combined all of Su Hao's strength with the "extremely heavy" attribute of the advanced mathematics book itself.

A dull thud echoed through the air.

"Click."

Faintly, I seemed to hear the sound of shells cracking.

A bright red number exploded from the top of the mutated cockroach's head:

"-26!" (Critical hit! Fatal blow!)

[Triggered a very low probability stun effect, but the target's health was already zero.]

The enormous cockroach, like a downed fighter jet, crashed straight down to the floor from mid-air, twitched its legs twice, and then remained motionless.

Its health bar instantly emptied, turning into a gray "dead" state.

The dormitory was deathly silent.

Only the heavy breathing of four boys could be heard.

Just then, the dead cockroach lying on the ground suddenly turned into specks of blue light and vanished into the air, leaving behind only a pile of shards of glass, and...

A palm-sized wooden treasure chest emitting a faint white light.

At the same time, a crisp system notification sound rang in the minds of the four people.

[Ding! Battle over.]

[Congratulations to the player team for achieving the 'first kill'!]

The mission "Dorm Defense" has been completed.

Experience points gained: +10 per person.

Player Su Hao delivered the fatal blow, gaining an additional 5 experience points.

[Personal attribute panel unlocked.]

[Loot obtained: Beginner Survival Blind Box (White) x1.]

"Dead...dead?"

Fatty Wang swallowed hard and cautiously crawled out from under Su Hao's bed.

He was covered in dust, and his floral shorts had a greasy stain from some unknown instant noodle dish on them, but he didn't care about that at the moment.

His eyes were fixed on the wooden treasure chest on the floor, which was emitting a faint white light.

The mutated cockroach corpse, the size of a washbasin, vanished into thin air, turning into a patch of blue mosaic light, just like a monster killed in an online game.

If it weren't for the nauseating green slime and shards of glass still on the ground, they might have thought it was all a collective hallucination.

"Did...drop gold coins?"

Chen Fei stood on the upper bunk, still clutching the aluminum clothes drying pole with green liquid stuck to the end, his voice cracking.

"What the hell?! This is supposed to be a gold coin drop?! You call that a treasure chest drop?! Have you ever even played an RPG game?!"

Although Wang Pangzi's legs were still trembling, his DNA from years of playing various online games had begun to kick in.

He rubbed his hands together, and like a cat that had smelled blood, he slowly moved toward the treasure chest.

"Don't touch it!"

Su Hao grabbed Wang Pangzi by the back of his collar and pulled him back.

Su Hao's heart was pounding like an overloaded engine. He looked down at the extremely thick, brick-like book in his hand, its cover bearing the title "Advanced Mathematics (Seventh Edition)".

A few bits of cockroach shell remained on the edge of the book page.

This textbook, which I usually use to prop up a table corner, suddenly unleashed power comparable to a hammer, even triggering so-called "critical hits" and "fatal blows."

"I never expected this..."

Su Hao was panting heavily, his eyes fixed on the advanced mathematics book with a complex expression.

"This damn book not only failed me on the final exam, but now it can even fail mutated cockroaches. It's a true example of physical exorcism."

"hiss--"

A gasp of cold air came from the side.

The eldest brother, Zhao Lei, clutched his thigh and limped to the chair to sit down.

His jeans had a tear of over ten centimeters on his thigh, and blood had stained the entire leg red.

"Boss, is your leg alright?!" Chen Fei quickly jumped off the bed.

"It won't kill me, but it's burning hot, like being ripped open by rusty barbed wire."

Zhao Lei grimaced in pain and glanced down at the upper right of his field of vision.

There was a semi-transparent status bar that only he could see.

[Player: Zhao Lei]

[Health Points: 92/100] (Health points are continuously decreasing...)

[Status: Mild Infection (Attacked by a mutated creature with trace amounts of toxins, deducting 1 health point every 5 minutes for 30 minutes, or can be cured with a healing potion).]
