Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

Lu Chen considered this to be a huge concession and a demonstration of seniority.

He slammed the spear he was holding onto the ground, and with a thought, forcibly shut down the weapon's overpowered attributes such as "armor penetration," leaving only the most basic physical collision volume.

Li Ming, dressed in tattered hemp clothing, simply lifted the long spear with one hand and stomped his foot hard on the ground.

"boom!"

Grass clippings flew everywhere.

Dawn's figure was like that of a cheetah, bursting with terrifying speed that was completely inconsistent with his equipment. He turned into a blur and charged straight at Lu Chen's face.

"So fast."

Lu Chen's pupils contracted sharply, and the slight contempt he had felt vanished instantly.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

With just this one starting charge, Lu Chen could tell that the steps his opponent was taking were definitely those of a top-notch ancient martial arts movement technique that had been honed through countless trials.

In the blink of an eye, the two were locked in close combat, locked in fierce battle.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Although the spear in Li Ming's hand had no special effects, his skillful grip ensured that every impact struck the weakest point of Lu Chen's spear with unparalleled precision.

The moment they clashed, Lu Chen felt his arms go numb from the impact.

His marksmanship, which he was so proud of, seemed to be slightly suppressed in front of this raggedly dressed novice.

"This guy's marksmanship is incredibly good?"

Lu Chen felt a surge of shock and disbelief.

"Am I to relinquish my title as the conqueror of the nation today?"

He suppressed his shock and began to unleash his most powerful and secret techniques with all his might.

The spear tip transformed into countless cold stars, sweeping towards Li Ming's vital points like a raging storm.

However, the longer the battle continued, the more intense Lu Chen's horror became.

He discovered something shocking: the opponent was playing with such ease.

In Li Ming's hands, the spear seemed to come alive.

Every time Lu Chen made a move he thought would be fatal, every time he launched a surprise attack hidden in a feint, Li Ming seemed to have a premonition.

He could not only block Lu Chen's attack route half a second in advance, but he could also use Lu Chen's attack habits to launch a tricky counterattack that was hard to defend against.

"That's impossible."

While struggling to defend himself, Lu Chen frantically speculated in his mind.

"How come he seems to know my shooting weaknesses and habits better than I do? Could it be that he often streams live and has secretly analyzed every frame of my stream recordings, and is deliberately coming here to target me?"

Just as Lu Chen's mind wavered slightly...

A glint of light flashed in Li Ming's eyes, hidden beneath his tattered hat.

He keenly noticed the pause in Lu Chen's movements.

Chapter 224 Grandpa?

"break!"

With a low shout, Li Ming's spear suddenly drew an arc, precisely piercing through Lu Chen's defensive net woven from spear shadows.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Three crisp, sharp sounds followed in quick succession.

Dawn did not use the tip of the spear to stab, but instead used the wooden shaft to strike Lu Chen's shoulders, wrists, and sides—several vital points—as if disciplining a child.

On the screen in front of Lu Chen, his health bar, which was originally full, began to drop rapidly, becoming empty segment by segment.

The intense pain caused his grip on the gun to involuntarily loosen.

When your health drops to just one glaring red heart icon, flashing wildly at the edge of your vision.

"Clang!"

Li Ming thrust his spear forward once more.

The tip of the spear suddenly flicked upwards.

With a crisp sound, the spear in Lu Chen's hand was flung away by a tremendous force. After tumbling several times in mid-air, it fell limply into the grass in the distance.

At the same time, dawn took half a step forward.

The spear tip was already hovering steadily less than half an inch from Lu Chen's throat.

Seeing this, Lu Chen, who was always proud and rarely had an opponent in player PVP duels, was completely stunned.

He stared at the long spear in front of him, his mind blank. He couldn't accept that he had been so utterly defeated and powerless against a level zero newbie who didn't even have any stats.

Just as Lu Chen was about to ask who this person was,

Li Ming, who had always maintained a cool and aloof demeanor, suddenly stuck the stone spear in his hand into the ground, then stretched out his palm and ripped off the tattered leather hat on his head.

An elderly man's face, though weathered by time, was still vigorous and had bright, piercing eyes, came into Lu Chen's view.

Immediately afterwards, a sentence slowly and deliberately came out of the old man's mouth.

"You little rascal!"

The old man glared at Lu Chen with a hint of reproach mixed with intense excitement.

"This game is so fun and so realistic, you brat, why didn't you get an account for your own grandpa to try it out sooner? I missed out on so much good stuff because I was out there."

Hearing that all-too-familiar voice and seeing that face, Lu Chen felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Grandpa...Grandpa?"

The novice player in front of him, using the ID "Dawn" and relentlessly attacking him with a long spear, dismantling his proud marksmanship into pieces, was none other than his real-world grandfather.

Lu Jiawu, a martial arts master renowned throughout the ancient martial arts world of China, whose spear skills were unparalleled.

Lu Chen suddenly realized that a few days ago, Xu Tian released a batch of quotas, and Lu Jiawu said he would get him one. Then, the quotas were released, so he managed to snatch one for him.

I didn't expect the old man to act so quickly. He grabbed the helmet and came straight in without even saying hello.

"No wonder he knows my marksmanship better than I do. This marksmanship was taught to me by you, Grandpa."

Lu Chen gave a bitter laugh, and the sense of defeat he felt from the failure vanished instantly.

Can you call it a loss if you get beaten up by your own grandfather?

This is called giving guidance.

At this moment, Lu Jiawu ignored his grandson's wry smile.

He was like a mischievous old man who had just received a new and exciting toy, excitedly moving around in this virtual body that had been reshaped by the system in the game and was full of youthful vitality.

"Not bad, not bad at all. Although they look old, their bodies are in a youthful state."

Lu Jiawu clenched his fist tightly, his eyes flashing with fanaticism.

"My dear grandson, you really didn't lie to me. This game is exactly the same as the real world."

Then, Lu Jiawu pulled out a long spear from the ground, pointed the spearhead straight into the distance, and waved his hand with great heroic spirit.

"Come on, my dear grandson, stop playing these childish games with me in this open space. Take me to the wilderness and find some ferocious-looking monsters to kill."

Lu Jiawu's tone carried a long-suppressed bloodlust.

"Your grandpa has spent decades tediously practicing his marksmanship in the real world. Although he has made a name for himself in the industry, in this peaceful era, even sparring is about stopping short of a fight."

"I've been practicing with this gun for decades, but I've never actually seen blood or experienced the thrill of life-or-death combat. In this virtual world without legal constraints, my old bones can finally let loose and wreak havoc."

Looking at his grandfather's fanatical appearance, which was even more warlike than a berserker, and then at the old man's tattered equipment that looked like it had been through countless battles, Lu Chen's lips twitched involuntarily, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead.

"Never mind, Grandpa..."

Lu Chen quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lu Jiawu, who was about to pick up his spear and go to fight monsters, and said helplessly to dissuade him.

"I understand your enthusiasm, but before we go fight monsters, could you please let me take you back to my armory so we can pick out a few decent high-level pieces of equipment for you to wear?"

Lu Chen pointed to Lu Jiawu's tattered hemp clothes.

"With your gear, forget about fighting high-level monsters. Even if you just run into a wild boar with magic, it'll be a life-or-death situation. If it casts a fireball, your hemp robe will turn into a funeral shroud."

Upon hearing his grandson's words, Lu Jiawu's thick, sword-like eyebrows immediately stood up.

He slammed his spear on the ground and reprimanded the man with great indignation.

"How dare you talk like that, you little brat? Are you underestimating your grandpa's skills? Back in the day, on the plum blossom stakes, more than a dozen masters of hidden weapons couldn't even touch the hem of my clothes. Although my current equipment isn't great and my defense is a bit low, don't I still have my superb marksmanship? As long as I don't get hit, isn't that enough?"

Looking at his stubborn grandfather, Lu Chen felt a headache coming on.

These older generation martial artists all had an almost obsessive confidence in their skills.

"Grandpa, it's not that I don't believe in your marksmanship."

Lu Chen patiently and earnestly explained.

"You've just entered the game and don't yet understand how outrageous this world is. The monsters here are completely different from people in real life."

"Do you remember the boss that I showed you in my previous live stream, Zhu Shitian? That guy has too many magical methods. If it weren't for his peak starting strategy, it would have been a question whether we could have even kept him alive."

Lu Chen gestured.

"What's the use of having the best agility when you encounter that kind of monster? There are no blind spots to hide in. Back then, I only dared to rush up and challenge him to a duel with his spear skills after that Pig Shitian had exhausted all his magic power."

Chapter 225 Siege

"When the opponent has magic, your wooden stick won't do any damage. If you want to break through their defenses and establish yourself in this world, you must use top-quality equipment with armor-piercing attributes, combined with your unparalleled marksmanship. You have to use both together to fight."

Lu Chen concluded.

"This equipment is like internal energy for us martial artists. You can fight without those fancy enchantment skills, but you can't fight without the basic attribute panel supported by them."

After listening to Lu Chen's detailed explanation, which included game terminology, Lu Jiawu, who was originally somewhat stubborn, frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.

He was, after all, a grandmaster. Although he didn't understand the game, the underlying logic of combat was still the same.
