52 Killing You Isn’t That Hard (1/2)

Wang Yu felt an immense amount of power surging through his veins after he had consumed the ”Adrenaline”, greatly increasing his speed and strength.

Strength, this was something that he had been longing for...

Wang Yu sighed emotionally as he tested his strength.

Truth be told, even though Wang Yu could be considered to be an immensely successful player, being in possession of a hidden job, being able to solo a boss, he was actually the most unhappy player.

Because of the limitation from his attributes, Wang Yu's speed and strength had been greatly reduced from what it was in reality. While this was still enough to destroy normal monsters, Wang Yu often felt extremely inadequate when he was fighting more speed based monsters.

This sort of feeling often made Wang Yu feel as though his martial arts ability had deteriorated and was an extremely uncomfortable feeling. Therefore Wang Yu would always practice his martial arts the moment he logged off the game.

Even though the Adrenaline medicine could not give Wang Yu the same strength he had in the real world, but the feeling of having his attributes increased had pleased nonetheless.

After reading the description of the buff, Wang Yu was stunned. If the effects lasted for 50 seconds and he lost 2% of his maximum health every second, wouldn't that mean that he would die at the end of it?

No wonder those girls could not finish their quest. They were already no match for a level 25 elite boss, once he consumed the Adrenaline medicine and had his attributes augmented by 300%, would they even be able to last a single second against him?

This hidden quest was simply impossible for in the early stages of the game.

Even though he immediately started losing health, Wang Yu was not afraid that he would die from the effects of the medicine, after all he still had the lifesteal effect from the Heavenly Silk Armour.

”I'll restrain him, you should run. Run to a place that this bastard won't be able to find you!” Wang Yu instructed Li Xue.

Boson had previously told Wang Yu that because of the independent mode, bosses would have a cognitive ability no different from normal humans, this meant that they wouldn't so easily be tricked by players. If Wharton, the bandit leader, was capable of returning to lead his men during their Headquarters defense quest, naturally this scientist would be capable of much more.

To Wang Yu's disappointment, due to the limitation of his attributes, he was not able to match Howard's speed even though they had both consumed the Adrenaline.

Naturally Wang Yu was not afraid of facing Howard in straight up close combat, but Howard was naturally unwilling to do so, turning around as he charged toward Li Xue at neck breaking speed. Once Li Xue died, it would be meaningless even if Wang Yu managed to kill him.

Even though Li Xue did not understand what Wang Yu's intentions were, she understood that she could not let herself be killed, nodding her head as she ran away.

But how could Howard be willing to let Li Xue leave?

”Where are you running to?” Howard bellowed as he chased after her.

Wang Yu instantly reached out and grabbed Howard's arm.

Howard ignored Wang Yu as he violently freed himself from the latter's grip. But Wang Yu calmly twisted his wrist, flipping Howard over once more. Howard lost all control of his body, like a kite who's strings had been cut.

Howard violently shouted as he wrestled to free himself from Wang Yu's grasp, while Wang Yu methodically countered each and everyone of his attacks. Howard couldn't even flee even if he wanted to.

If anyone had seen this, they would immediately recognise that Wang Yu was using Taiji, a famous style of martial arts.

Using slow to counteract fast, using soft to deal with strength, borrowing the strength of the aggressor to retaliate. This was common knowledge to deeply ingrained in Chinese culture that even children knew.

But the programmer of Howard was a western born individual, how much of chinese culture would he even know, let alone understand?

However Wang Yu did not take advantage of the situation to continue beating Howard, afterall the concept of Taiji was to borrow the force of the aggressors attack to hurt him. Since Howard had no intention of fighting Wang Yu anymore, Wang Yu naturally could not use Taiji to hurt him.

Furthermore, Howard's speed was astonishingly fast, Wang Yu was completely unable to grasp the timings his attacks, if Howard were to suddenly attack, even Wang Yu might not be able to dodge in time. At this moment, Howard's attention was fully focused on Li Xue, afterall she was the key to the quest.

Li Xue was like a frightened animal, constantly looking back as she ran away.

She stood still, shocked senseless when she saw Wang Yu embroiled in a close quarter combat with Howard.
