Chapter 43 (1/2)

“No way, are we starting the Boss fight now?” AdorkableTong had always been bold, but she jumped when Li Yao told them they were going to start the fight now. “But we haven’t made any preparations yet.”

“Aren’t we preparing now? If we don’t fight the Boss, we won’t know what it is going to do.” Li Yao observed the Boss. “Let us try first, there is rope on your side that slides to the bottom, always be ready to run away. After all, this is our first time fighting it, don’t think about getting it over with in just one go.”

Tong stared at him wide-eyed, she asked naively, “Don’t you have everything prepared, why do we have to run away?”

“Come on, I’m not a god, and I have never fought this Boss before. Who knows what the situation will be like? I’m imagining what the scenario will be like. It’s very simple, each of you will stay by one rope, when I tell you to switch, switch to the other platform through the ropes. If I tell you to escape, use the other rope to propel to the ground, we might be able to escape and maybe get out of the fight, then we will attempt again.”

“Okay, okay, we got it.” Tong waved her hand impassively.

“Right,” Li Yao looked back again. “I heard that few hundred people placed bets using ingots, now the numbers must have increased, right?”

Their minds went blank, the fans and audience that were still watching their livestream were at a loss.

“Master Liao Yuan is ready to run away with the money.”

“Their valuables are ready, when the Boss starts chasing them, they will be prepared to run away and that will be the end of today’s livestream.”

“They can’t get pass the Boss anyway, why did they even bother to continue clearing the stage, Summer should livestream her leveling up instead.”

“Yes, don’t turn off the livestream. It’s not easy to get a chance to see Summer Sis.”

“I strongly object against this.”

“Master Liao Yuan has exhausted his skills, confirmation complete.”

“Alas, the legend ends here.”

Qin Fengyi looked at the messages that had covered up the entire screen. “Thousands of ingots have arrived, you won, but, forget it. You should focus on the task at hand.” Fengyi said helplessly.

“Hmph, what do these people know. No one can kill a Boss in one go, why do they keep criticizing Big Bro.” Tong pouted, she was dissatisfied with the things that the fans were saying about Li Yao.

“We’ve already gotten the ingots, don’t be bothered about what they have to say. If they really do look up to us, would they still be foolish enough to bet on ingots?” Li Yao exclaimed.

“Big Boss, you haven’t lost yet.” ShadowDancer said.

“Big Bro, you seem to have a point there.” Tong was suddenly enlightened.

Fengyi was still speechless, there was nothing she could say.

Her fans were infuriated and clamoring noisily. Initially, they were not interested in the gamble, but now they have asked Fengyi to set up the gambling game again. They were saying that if Liao Yuan gets pass the Boss, they would top-up more ingots.

Fengyi had no choice but to set up the gamble. In just moments, hundreds of people have loaded up the ingots.

AdorkableTong was baffled, he chatted with Li Yao privately, “Big Bro, this way, you’re scamming their money.”

“I just said a few words to stand up for myself, if they don’t trust me, I might as well have some trust in myself, don’t you think so?” Li Yao replied, sounding rather righteous.

Tong tilted her head as she tried to process what he had just said, but she was still clueless. Even though she was smart, she was still just a little kid.

“Alright, get ready. The Boss has finally entered my attacking range.”

Li Yao began to get serious, he aimed with the Heavy Crossbow in his hands.

The Boss was big and tall, at least four yards in height and had a wide body that could hold in at least two Li Yaos. It also had big paws.

Since its whole body was made of metals bonded together with Arcane magic, it was very heavy. Its body made heavy clanking sounds as it walked.

Pap…

A steel arrow struck the Boss’s body, but the arrow simply set off a spark and was knocked away. An awkward damage figure flashed on the screen in the corner of his eye.

-12

When dealing with a Level 5 Boss, the Heavy Crossbow could cause almost two hundred damage points. But when the attack hit this Boss, it only caused a few damage points.

“Intruder alert, executing the command to destroy.”

The Boss’s gaze scanned Li Yao’s body, then it ran toward Li Yao.

Li Yao saw the Boss running to the second platform in high speed and was almost reaching the dome, Li Yao did not hesitate.

He grabbed two mountaineering pickaxes and hooked the pickaxes on the hanging rope.

Li Yao slid like a cable car down the rope at high speed and reached the dome of the first platform.

“Start attacking, remember to pay attention, if the Boss passes through the spiral corridor it will draw out more Elites. Ignore the Boss and attack the Elites first, the Elites’ levels are too high and we won’t be able to withstand their attacks. If you feel that it’s too dangerous, slide to the bottom ground.”

Li Yao carefully balanced his body and took out a rifle. It was a double-handed rifle, and was awkwardly long.

Li Yao made these rifles to bring up his engineering proficiency to the intermediate level. The rifles he made were of course of Green-grade.

However, Li Yao used a Leader-tier Battle Soul that he had obtained from killing the Leader-tier Velociraptor Boss. He upgraded the Stats of an uncommon Rifle to Blue-grade.

Self-made Rifle
