The buff is permanent, and you start the game with a fountain of water.

The next morning, Huan Cheng was awakened by a knock on the door.

After quickly putting on some clothes, I opened the door and saw two young workers wearing Divine Realm work uniforms.

After verifying their identities, the two began installing the game pod.

It's called installation, but frankly, it's just about finding a spacious, flat place with a power source to place it.

The installation and debugging were completed in no more than twenty minutes.

After seeing the two workers off, Huan Cheng added nutrient solution according to the instructions, and then lay down in the game pod with a hint of excitement.

Welcome back!

A pleasant system notification sounded, and when Huan Cheng opened his eyes again, he was back in the goblin's lair.

"Whoosh!"

Before he could even experience the difference between the gaming pod and the gaming helmet, Huan Cheng felt as if he had been punched hard in the back, and a terrifying -640 damage number floated above his head.

The unprecedented damage numbers shocked Huan Cheng, who immediately activated the Wind Slash, transforming into a black shadow and fleeing the scene.

Looking back, they saw three goblins standing not far away, completely different from ordinary goblins.

The leading goblin was short in stature, but his arms were unusually thick and strong. He carried a spear tube on his back, in which a half-meter-long fine iron spear was inserted.

On either side stood two goblins that resembled giant goblins, only they were much more robust, standing at 1.7 meters tall, wearing full sets of iron armor, and wielding giant iron axes, their imposing presence quite terrifying.

Immediately unleash the Insight spell.

【Poisonous Spear】: Passive skill. The Goblin Thrower soaks the spear tip in putrid poison, with a 50% chance that the thrown spear will deal an additional 100 points of poison damage and a 20% chance to trigger the poison status.

"Bronze Boss?"

After seeing the Goblin Thrower's attributes, Huan Cheng was first stunned, then overjoyed.

Killing the Wild Boar King last time was a huge success.

I killed a Goblin Thrower today. If I'm lucky, I might get two more pieces of bronze gear, which will solve my money problem in the game pod!

Despite his burning desire, Huan Cheng wasn't foolish enough to rush forward now. He shifted his gaze to the guards on either side.

[Big Goblin - Elite]

Rating: 8

Life: 3600

Attack: 180

Defense: 150

Skills: Thick-skinned and resilient, close-quarters protection

【Thick Skin】: Passive skill, reduces physical damage taken by 30%.

【Substitute Guardian】: Locks onto an allied unit and shares 40% of the damage received with them.

This is a bit tricky!

Looking at the three-headed goblin, Huan Cheng's expression became somewhat solemn.

Whether it's a goblin thrower or an elite goblin, Huan Cheng can easily handle them when facing them alone.

However, combining the two increases the difficulty level dramatically.

After careful consideration, Huan Cheng realized that unless he was particularly unlucky, he should have a chance to kill the three goblins.

Having made up his mind, Huan Cheng stretched his wrists, picked up the Wild Boar Blade, and charged forward.

"Whoosh!"

Huan Cheng had only taken a few steps when a short spear flew towards him.

Although he tried his best to dodge, the flying spear was too fast, and he was a beat too slow to react, so he still took a solid hit.

-362, -100

Two damage numbers appeared simultaneously: the former was the physical damage from the flying spear, and the latter was the poison damage triggered by the attack.

"That's such a long range?"

Huan Cheng glanced at the distance and realized he was about twenty meters away from the goblin thrower, which was already beyond the escape range of the Wind Slash.

"As expected of a level 8 boss!"

With a sigh inwardly, Huan Cheng quickened his pace and rushed toward the goblin.

In the blink of an eye, another short spear flew towards him, taking away more than three hundred of Huan Cheng's lives.

Huan Cheng was not surprised but delighted upon seeing this.

His current health is 1670, and with the Endless Regeneration buff, he recovers 334 health points per second. Based on the previous test, the Goblin Thrower's attack frequency is approximately once every two seconds, which he can easily withstand.

"Wind Slash!"

Stepping into the range of the Wind Slash attack, Huan Cheng no longer hesitated. He let out a soft shout and activated the skill, transforming into a black shadow as he pounced on the nearest goblin guard.

-36, -46, -57

Three two-digit damage numbers appeared, and Huan Cheng immediately followed up with another heavy blow.

After one round of attacks, they barely managed to take away 200 lives from the elite goblin.

Just as Huan Cheng was about to deliver another blow, he heard a sharp whooshing sound and was immediately struck by a thick, short spear.

"Ding! You have been hit by the skill [Armor-Piercing Throw]. Your physical defense will decrease by 30% for 10 seconds."

As the system notification sounded, a damage number of 624 floated above Huan Cheng's head; that was the skill damage from Armor-Piercing Throw.

-110, -104

The next moment, the two elite goblins launched a counterattack.

The exchange lasted only a moment, but Huan Cheng noticed something was wrong. The goblin's combat awareness seemed to be much stronger than the boar king's, and it didn't have such a noticeable sluggishness.

"Heavy blow!"

Seizing the opportunity, Huan Cheng gave a light shout, and the Wild Boar Blade slashed at the Goblin Thrower.

-1, -1, -1

Both the Goblin Thrower and the Elite Goblin have a 1-point forced damage effect appearing above their heads.

Huan Cheng was shocked to see this, and then quickly glanced at the goblin's skill [Close Guard], and then he understood the key to the problem.

Clearly, both of these large goblins have their guard targets set on the goblin thrower.

In other words, they can help the goblin thrower deflect 80% of the attacks it receives.

Huan Cheng's critical strike skill deals a whopping 221 damage, but after being transferred, it only deals 44, which is not enough to break through the defense.

The 40% attack that was transferred away couldn't break through the Great Goblin's 150 defense either.

"This is absolutely disgusting!"

Huan Cheng cursed inwardly, but had no choice but to change his attack target to the Big Goblin.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

Before Huan Cheng could make a move, two spears shot out, as the Goblin Thrower activated the skill [Double Throw].

With the distance so close, Huan Cheng had nowhere to dodge and took two hits head-on.

-412, -408, -100, -100

Unfortunately, both spears triggered poison damage simultaneously, instantly taking away 1,000 of his health points.

"hiss--"

Huan Cheng gasped, retreating rapidly to dodge the giant goblin's attack, while simultaneously leaping left and right, frantically flashing around the three-headed goblin.

The goblin thrower's accuracy against such irregularly moving targets dropped sharply, and then launched several more normal attacks. Huan Cheng dodged twice but was hit three times.

By using a circling tactic, Huan Cheng managed to buy himself several breaths and successfully restored his health to full.

"Wind Slash!"

Once the cooldown was over, Huan Cheng decisively activated Wind Slash, targeting the same giant goblin from before.

After his skill ended, he immediately followed up with a heavy attack, ignoring the counterattacks from the Goblin Thrower and the Big Goblin, and desperately added a few more normal attacks.

When his life force was reduced to half, he immediately dodged and retreated, jumping left and right and starting to circle wildly.

After a few breaths, its health was fully restored, and it began a new round of attacks.
