Chapter 83

As the players with short knives approached Zheng Chen, they still felt a bit nervous in the face of his overwhelming killing intent. However, they were very clear that there was no possibility of escape, so they could only grit their teeth and charge forward. Most players were around level 5 or even higher, with some specializing in certain attributes, making their speed not much worse than Zheng Chen's!

However, the consequence of specializing in one attribute was having a weakness. For example, those who over-specialized in strength would lose the ability to continue fighting after a few bursts of attacks due to insufficient constitution, and they would even hurt themselves. Those with high speed, due to insufficient constitution and strength, could not fully utilize their speed, and their stamina would also be severely drained. The attributes were closely related, and specializing in one attribute only gave an advantage in the early stages. Without special ways to become stronger, they would eventually be on the same level as others.

Attributes that were not supplemented in the early stages would still need to be supplemented in the later stages to function normally in combat. As for the effects of training, they would definitely slow down in the later stages. Some people had specifically tested this: training could indeed increase attributes and experience, but apart from the accumulation of experience, the speed of improvement through training was not much faster than in real life. When an attribute was at a low level, intense training could quickly improve it. However, once the attribute was high, the improvement would take months, and special methods would be needed to quickly enhance it!

For example, if someone wanted to train their strength attribute to 10, relying solely on effort was not realistic. This also depended on individual aptitude. Some people were naturally more outstanding in strength, and they might be able to increase their strength attribute to 10 or even higher through long-term hard training. Otherwise, 8 would be the limit.

When the players approached Zheng Chen, they only saw a flash of white light, and he had already passed by them. Was this underestimating them!?

In the next moment, they knew what had happened. The slight pain in their necks told them they had received fatal injuries. The pain was mild because they had adjusted the pain sensitivity through the system. They could choose to fully experience the pain, but almost no one would do that. Getting cut in the game and risking injury was common sense, and fully experiencing the pain was just asking for trouble.

For example, if the pain of a throat cut was fully experienced, it would leave a deep psychological scar.

The sniper player's eyes twitched as he watched the players who were instantly killed by Zheng Chen. These were all the people they had left. Many had been killed by the warship when they arrived, and then more were eliminated by the robot soldiers. To survive this many was considered lucky, but they couldn't even stop Zheng Chen.

This was the flaw of the players!

Some players who had good relationships with the natives had been pointed out that their strength improved very quickly. In a short time, they could achieve what others took years to accomplish. Although the improvement was rapid, they didn't have enough time to fully master it. Unlike those who improved through hard training, who understood every bit of their strength.

Zheng Chen's speed made him nervous...

Because he usually relied on his sniper rifle to kill enemies, he didn't need high strength or constitution, so he was a player who specialized in agility. His level was 7, which was quite high among players.

The reason was simple: the game's leveling difficulty was high, and the experience gained from the same method decreased significantly. To maintain a normal leveling speed, one had to continuously do tasks that matched their level. To level up quickly, one had to take high-risk tasks.

As for grinding for experience... there was no such thing. To grind for experience, one had to take higher risks. Dying once would reset the current experience and reduce the level by one-third, and the attributes gained from leveling up would disappear with the reduced level.

Therefore, not many players chose high-risk tasks!

If he had all points in agility, his agility attribute could reach 13!

However, his current agility was only 11.

This wasn't because he didn't want to continue adding points, but because he had reached a limit. There was no need to continue increasing it, as he couldn't handle the overload of agility without improving other attributes to balance it. The increase in agility gave him extremely fast reaction time, speed, and coordination, but the lack of strength prevented his body from fully utilizing this speed, and the lack of constitution made it impossible to maintain this abnormal speed. He experienced cramps more frequently than others.

To prevent more serious consequences, he stopped focusing on agility and improved other attributes. Even so, his strength and constitution still couldn't balance his agility. At 11 agility, he could only fully utilize 9, but his reaction speed was unaffected. Breaking 10 agility allowed him to accurately track the enemy's movements.

He could react to Zheng Chen's attacks but couldn't counter them... He couldn't fully utilize his agility and couldn't keep up with Zheng Chen's speed!

When he raised his hand, Zheng Chen had already struck, hitting his wrist. The sniper player had no choice but to retreat, feeling a tingling sensation in his wrist. Zheng Chen's strength could easily overpower him, and his constitution couldn't cushion the impact of the attack.

After blocking Zheng Chen's attacks a few times, he was in a defensive position. The pistol he had drawn was easily taken by Zheng Chen, who pointed it at his forehead.

"My name is Vic!" Noticing Zheng Chen's finger on the trigger, he shouted, "I'll find you again!!"

Bang!

Vic, now in a soul state, glanced at his beheaded corpse on the ground and decisively chose to log out. This death dropped his high-level status among players, and it would take a considerable amount of time to regain his level.

Quickly clearing the area, Zheng Chen only took the sniper rifle and bullets left by Vic. The other guns were a burden, and he didn't need to carry them. He could use the patterns to decompose the bullets and carry them.

The players who noticed the situation immediately felt guilty. Some wanted to deal with Zheng Chen, but others didn't want to provoke him. They were worried that Zheng Chen might be enraged by the ambush.

"Cut the vines around her." Zheng Chen's attention returned to Xi Ya, and he said softly. The effects of the strong suppressant wouldn't last long, so he had to stop her rampage before it wore off.

Once her rampage ended, the suppressant would fully take effect!

This time, Hida didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly gave orders to the robot soldiers, and some of them dispersed to protect Zheng Chen from the wildly swinging vines.

A long spear quickly formed in Zheng Chen's hand. Since it was difficult to get close, he wouldn't get close.

Because he had to assist Zheng Chen, the robot soldiers around him were quickly consumed. When Zheng Chen approached Xi Ya within five meters, only three robot soldiers remained. The others tried to reinforce but were blocked by the vines and couldn't get close.

Five meters...

Zheng Chen estimated the distance, his eyes narrowing, and his speed increased. The two robot soldiers beside him were caught by the approaching vines but still faithfully carried out their orders. The lasers from their heads cut the vines that were about to hit Zheng Chen, and the vines were torn apart.

Three meters! The distance was enough!

His eyes, which had been narrowed, suddenly widened. Zheng Chen's long spear pierced through the air, and before it touched Xi Ya, she stared at him. Her left hand had transformed into a vine-like state, and she grabbed the spear with incredible strength.

Zheng Chen slightly adjusted the direction of the spear, and it pierced her palm, stopping after penetrating less than half a centimeter.

So hard... Zheng Chen's hands were also cracked from the impact, and he was lifted by Xi Ya, who had grabbed the spear. The last remaining robot soldier grabbed the center of the spear with one hand and pressed down on the vine that was about to stab Zheng Chen. A laser swept across the vines under Xi Ya.

"Beasts may be strong... but hunters never lack the means to deal with their prey..."

Zheng Chen, who had been lifted, said calmly. Xi Ya, in her rampage, was slightly stunned by Zheng Chen's voice. The murderous look in her eyes turned to confusion. Even in her rampage, Zheng Chen left a deep impression on her, in various ways.

Pressing the spear to maintain balance, Zheng Chen pressed the other end of the spear with his other hand.

The confusion in Xi Ya's eyes turned to shock. Her transformed arm fluctuated between transformed and normal states, eventually returning to normal. Zheng Chen, who had been lifted, fell to the ground, and the wildly swinging vines around him became still. Xi Ya's counterattacks became weaker and weaker.

The robot soldiers, seizing the opportunity, quickly cleared the remaining roots. The vast vines began to wither and fall off her body. The last robot soldier raised its hand to block a large vine that was about to hit Zheng Chen, pushing it aside.

The weapon in Zheng Chen's hand, the long spear, could also be used as a special syringe!

As a large amount of strong suppressant was injected into her again, Xi Ya's rampage was completely suppressed. The extending vines withered and fell off her body.
