Chapter 13

"It's not a gift, just a temporary loan!"

Sun Yuan was not surprised by Zhen Yu's return of the Angry Slingshot. This junior didn't seem like someone who would take advantage of others.

"Do you not fear I might run away with it?"

Zhen Yu was curious. This equipment was a powerful tool for ambushing enemies.

"Hehe, would you be that stupid?"

Sun Yuan countered.

In fact, he was testing Zhen Yu. For new players, this equipment was precious, but for Sun Yuan, it was just a beginner's item.

Killing a few more rare monsters would earn him a thousand points each, even if they didn't drop good equipment.

With points, what couldn't Sun Yuan buy?

So, using a slingshot to test if Zhen Yu was trustworthy and could be a teammate was a good deal.

Besides, Chu Yuntao would be coming soon, and he couldn't hold both the bat and the slingshot. Giving it to Zhen Yu would maximize its value.

"I have two million followers online. If I were a fool, would they love me?"

Zhen Yu placed her hands on her hips, looking quite pleased.

"Ha ha!"

Sun Yuan tossed the Angry Slingshot to Zhen Yu.

"Hehe, thank you, senior!"

Zhen Yu held the slingshot in both hands, rubbing it against her face: "You'll be my baby from now on, and I'll take good care of you."

"Although using this slingshot doesn't require skill, the bird shots will automatically hit the target, but try not to use it. Each bird shot costs ten points. If you use it to kill spore people, and one shot isn't enough, you'll lose money."

Sun Yuan warned.

"So expensive?"

Zhen Yu was taken aback. She was still at zero points: "How much does this slingshot cost in the store?"

"Six thousand points, without ammunition."

Sun Yuan waved his bat: "The same price as this!"

Zhen Yu's face fell, and she dug her toes into her shoe: "Senior, you're not going to make any unreasonable demands, right? Let's get this straight, I sell my skills, not my body."

Even looking at her feet was out of the question.

If Sun Yuan did that, they would part ways.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in this equipment."

Sun Yuan smirked: "What I want is the first kill gear."

"Where do you get it?"

Zhen Yu's eyes lit up.

"God's Tower will appear soon. It has various terrifying and dangerous game levels, with powerful monsters guarding it. The one at the top is the boss, the final BOSS we often talk about."

Sun Yuan explained: "The first player to reach the top and kill it will get the first kill gear, which is not only top-tier but also unique, meaning no other player can get a second one."

"I get it, only the first player to clear God's Tower can get the reward, right?"

Zhen Yu suddenly felt a bit excited. From the tone of her senior, he seemed very confident!

Could it be that the leg she chose to lean on was even stronger than she expected?

Exciting!

Along with the slingshot, ten bird shots fell, each the size of a broad bean, shaped like a chubby red bird.

Very cute.

"Where are we going next?"

Zhen Yu was eager to try out the new equipment.

At the same time, her goodwill towards Sun Yuan had increased.

If this world were to end, following such a generous leader, her life wouldn't be too bad.

Before Sun Yuan could answer, he heard a cry for help from outside.

He peered out the window and saw a group of students running from the Talent Supermarket, with a group of spore people chasing them madly.

A girl stumbled and fell, and before she could get up, two spore people pounced on her.

Swish!

A foot-long, thick tongue shot out, like a leech, forcing open the girl's mouth and stretching in.

"Help... ugh..."

The girl's cry was cut short as the spore person's tongue made her gag. She struggled with all her might, but to no avail.

No one came to her rescue.

"So tragic!"

Zhen Yu shivered, subconsciously moving closer to Sun Yuan and hugging his arm.

If her senior hadn't helped her in the teaching building earlier, she would have ended up like that girl, right?

"Hide first!"

Sun Yuan moved quickly, rushing downstairs.

"Huh?"

Zhen Yu was taken aback: "You... you're going to save them?"

"Those people include my classmates!"

Sun Yuan saw Zhao Limin, Lu Wenjun, Zhuo Wen, and Wang Xu. The last two were his roommates, and he would help if he could.

Liao Wei squatted on the library steps, a cigarette in his mouth, and a U-lock in his right hand, tapping the ground.

Hearing the cries for help, he stood up and hid behind a pillar, peeking out to see a group of students being chased.

"Damn!"

Liao Wei panicked, turned, and ducked through the broken glass door into the library.

He wanted to find Sun Yuan, who was very strong. If the monsters targeted him, following him might help him survive.

The body of a middle-aged woman lay on the ground, a pool of blood making the floor slippery. Liao Wei, running too fast, lost his balance and fell.

Bang!

Liao Wei landed half on the still-warm body of the middle-aged woman, nearly scaring him to death.

"Bad luck!"

Liao Wei cursed, quickly getting up and seeing Sun Yuan rushing down the stairs and running out of the library.

"Don't go out, there are monsters!"

Liao Wei warned urgently.

Sun Yuan glanced at him and dashed out.

"Damn, what's he doing? Looking for death?"

Liao Wei shook the blood off his hand and hid behind the glass, looking outside.

Sun Yuan ran at full speed towards the fleeing students.

"Is... is he going to save them?"

Liao Wei was stunned but deeply moved by Sun Yuan's actions.

A hero,

is just like that, right?

"Sun Yuan, run!"

Zhuo Wen saw Sun Yuan suddenly come out of the library and shouted a warning.

"Run in different directions!"

Sun Yuan yelled.

Lu Wenjun, Zhao Limin, and Wang Xu had seen Sun Yuan's excellent performance in the beginner's game and already had a high opinion of him.

Seeing Sun Yuan, they immediately changed direction and ran towards him.

Besides them, two of Lu Wenjun's friends followed her.

The others, not knowing who Sun Yuan was, continued running along the concrete road. As a result, the five spore people split into two groups, with three chasing Lu Wenjun and her group.

Sun Yuan ran up to them, passing Zhuo Wen.

"What are you doing?"

Zhuo Wen was shocked, instinctively reaching out to grab Sun Yuan: "Are you crazy?"

Then he heard a loud bang. Turning back, he saw Sun Yuan swinging a baseball bat and smashing a monster's head.

"So strong?"

Zhuo Wen's eyes nearly popped out. When did his roommate get so powerful?

It was like a god had descended.

Lu Wenjun and Zhao Limin, being girls, were slower and less fit, and their legs were already tired.

Seeing Sun Yuan kill a spore person, they felt a glimmer of hope and called out.

"Sun Yuan, save me!"

Lu Wenjun and Zhao Limin cried.

"Don't stop, keep running!"

Sun Yuan urged.

Lu Wenjun was still okay, but the overweight Zhao Limin was panting and slowing down.

Roar!

A spore person growled, accelerating and leaping at Zhao Limin.

Sun Yuan, without aiming, swung the bat at the spore person's shoulder, knocking it down, and then threw the bat.

"Ah!"

Zhao Limin screamed as the monster pounced on her.

The monster extended its thick tongue to implant eggs, but the bat hit its head, deflecting the tongue, which grazed Zhao Limin's cheek, leaving a trail of sticky saliva.

"Help!"

Zhao Limin screamed, scared out of her wits.

Sun Yuan, like a hunting leopard, leaped over seven meters, appeared in front of Zhao Limin, and with a quick reach, caught the bat mid-air, then delivered a powerful blow to the monster's head.

Bang!

The spore person's head shattered, splattering Zhao Limin with brain matter and blood.

"Watch out behind you!"

Zhen Yu and Zhuo Wen shouted simultaneously.

Hearing the wind from the monster's charge, Sun Yuan knew he couldn't turn in time, so he bent his left arm and delivered a swift elbow strike.

Bang!

The monster's face was hit, and it staggered backward.

If it were an ordinary person, the elbow strike wouldn't have been enough to knock back the spore person, but Sun Yuan, with the power of the Street Fighter gloves, had three times the strength of an adult and was more agile.

After the elbow strike, Sun Yuan immediately turned and ran to the side of the monster, then delivered a series of powerful blows.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The newly spawned spore person fell to the ground, wailing in agony. It tried to fight back but was stepped on by Sun Yuan, unable to move.

"..."

Liao Wei, who had seen Sun Yuan kill spore people for points, was still stunned by this scene.

Was this the legendary violent aesthetics?

Zhuo Wen and the others were even more stunned, their faces frozen in shock.

They had seen a male student try to kill a spore person and be pounced on, with the monster's tongue forcing its way into his throat to implant eggs.

How could these monsters seem so weak against Sun Yuan?

One against three?

Sun Yuan handled it with ease, like a dragon riding the face.

[You have killed three spore people, +30 points.]

Sun Yuan looked up and saw that two students from the other group had been caught and implanted by the spore people.

The others took the opportunity to run away.

"Into the library!"

Sun Yuan urged.

"Senior, you're too strong! I was planning to help you!"

Zhen Yu noticed that Sun Yuan was becoming more and more composed in battle.

This meant he was constantly summarizing his experience and rapidly improving.

"Sun Yuan, after three years of living together, I didn't know you were so skilled!"

Zhuo Wen pinched Sun Yuan's bicep, which was very solid.

"Sun Yuan, you're so brave! If it weren't for you, we would be dead!"

Wang Xu was still shaken.

Because in the second beginner game, when choosing to sacrifice an organ, Wang Xu chose his teeth, so he had none left, and now his speech was slurred.

"Sun Yuan, wu wu wu!"

Zhao Limin wanted to thank him, but her words turned into sobs.

"Wang Fang, Zhang Qiuman, this is my classmate, Sun Yuan!"

Lu Wenjun introduced Sun Yuan to her friends.

As she said this, she felt a sense of pride. My classmate is so amazing; without his help, you would be dead.
