Chapter 34

Chapter 34: The Punch Beyond Limits – This is Bai Fu!

To prevent Bai Fu from being summoned by Youlia, whether it was the players, Yago, or Xia Shi, they all gave their best.

They put aside all concerns and treated the last few dozen meters as their final battleground.

A group of players rushed forward one after another, doing everything in their power to stop Bai Fu’s advance.

Another group of players charged fearlessly, trying every possible method to attack Youlia.

This was a critical moment; if they could make even the slightest gap in Youlia’s control, Bai Fu might break free.

Under the cover of the players, Yago also stepped up. He directly loaded the specially made bullet intended to end Youlia’s life into his magazine.

Now, nothing else mattered. They couldn’t let Youlia take Bai Fu to that underground laboratory; otherwise, all their sacrifices would be in vain, and the abandoned cooling plant would inevitably fall to the bug tide.

For the abandoned cooling plant, for Bai Fu who burned herself even under control, for all love and justice, charge!

Yago pulled the trigger, and the bullet spun out of the gun barrel at high speed, piercing through the gaps between players, heading straight for Youlia’s head.

Friendship, bonds, and courage fused perfectly at this moment.

Strength, speed, and reaction were released to their utmost extent.

Yago placed great hope on this shot, but he underestimated Youlia’s vigilance.

While controlling the players and Bai Fu, Youlia still kept half her attention on him. As soon as she noticed him lifting his gun, she manipulated the altered Nine to pounce towards her.

Boom!

There was a slight explosion, but it wasn’t Youlia’s head that was blown apart; it was the right leg of the altered Nine.

The altered Nine screamed as it fell to the ground, blood gushing out profusely.

Damn, it didn’t work?

Yago pounded the ground with force.

The situation was already so chaotic, yet that woman could still keep the battle so clear-cut.

As a sniper, this was the first time he had encountered such a restrictive enemy. Instead of anger, he felt more frustration.

“Damn!”

This might be the end.

It was just a dozen meters away; no matter how brave the players were, they couldn’t really stop Bai Fu.

If there was only Bai Fu, they could rely on sheer numbers to drag her back. But with Youlia controlling many players, they could only watch helplessly as Bai Fu took step by step, finally reaching Youlia’s side after crossing those dozen meters.

She won!

Youlia smiled.

The moment Bai Fu reached her side, the aggressive players stopped, and Xia Shi, who had been shooting non-stop, dared not move rashly.

The noisy Wildfire Gang suddenly turned silent.

It was like the volume of a horror movie was suddenly turned off, filled with unease and eeriness.

At this moment, the only lively place was the players’ live streams, especially Jiujiao’s.

“This is the end for Bai Fu.”

“What a pity, I thought Bai Fu had a lot of plot, but now she’s about to log off. This boss seems truly formidable.”

“It’s not like there’s no plot, Bai Fu’s background is extraordinary. I think she’s just a catalyst, and there will be revenge quests later to reveal her forces.”

“I can’t accept this! How could the game planners give FuFu such an ending? I’m going to explode!”

“I can’t accept it!”

“Digging Girl, say something, are you stunned?”

Jiujiao was indeed stunned.

Seeing that the official hadn’t released any new trailers recently, she decided to make a video about Bai Fu to promote her. This would not only attract more fans but also counteract the previous doubts about her.

But who could have predicted things would turn out like this.

Now, even if it turns out that Bai Fu’s background is extraordinary, since Bai Fu has already died in the newbie village, her previous speculations would have a significant flaw, which some people would exploit mercilessly.

Jiujiao was almost driven mad.

Damn game planners, after putting so much effort, you’re making me lose so thoroughly. All I can say is that my fate is in my hands, not in yours!

Enraged, Jiujiao rushed past the players directly toward Youlia.

“Shit!”

“What are you doing, Digging Girl?”

Players inside and outside the live stream were shocked by Jiujiao’s sudden action, including Youlia.

Is she giving herself up?

“Go back!”

Yago was frantic and quickly called Xia Shi to shoot at Youlia together.

Several bullets were fired, but Youlia easily dodged them.

Fine, since you’re rushing to your doom, I’ll control you too.

Youlia’s pupils turned silver again. At this moment, when her attention was on Jiujiao, Bai Fu’s heart rate suddenly accelerated.

This was her perfect opportunity!

She even suspected that Jiujiao might be a plant, otherwise, how could she coordinate so perfectly?

It’s time to act!

On the way to Youlia, Bai Fu had rehearsed this dozens of times in her mind. Therefore, when the chance came, she was calm and collected, her mind clearer than ever.

Step one: Add 2 points of free attribute points to Inspiration, raising it to 15.

[Success判定: You have broken free from [Manipulator]’s control]

Back to freedom!

Step two: Not the most crucial, but a finishing touch.

“Aaahhh!!”

In the midst of “resentment” and “anger,” amidst countless players’ astonished gazes, as Yago and Xia Shi widened their eyes, and Youlia’s heart contracted sharply, Bai Fu finally broke free.

She took a step forward, stomping hard on the throat of the heavily injured altered Nine, seemingly venting the rage she accumulated while being controlled.

These stomps were swift and brutal.

With three damage values of “-18,” “-26,” and “-25” rising, the altered Nine died instantly.

[You killed Nine (Altered), 75.3% contribution, gained 6024 experience points after level difference correction]

Step three: Upgrade Spirit Apprentice to Lv10, add the remaining 2 points of free attribute points to Strength, leaving 2969 experience points, which are invested into the Zeal skill, upgrading it from Lv1 to Lv3.

Her attributes became:

[Strength 9, Agility 5, Constitution 26, Intelligence 3, Spirit 14, Inspiration 16]

The detailed description of the Zeal skill changed:

[Put a target’s body part into [Zeal Lv3] state, consumes 5 spiritual energy per minute, cooldown 2 seconds]

Step four: Apply [Zeal Lv3] and [Strength Surge (Inferior)] to herself, strength instantly increases to 12, right fist output increases by 50%!

Finally, with everything prepared, the silver-haired girl, in the fading sunset, used her frail body to unleash boundless fury with a punch beyond limits.

“Enough!”

See this punch, twenty years of training!

It silenced the bustling live stream;

It froze everyone present;

It shattered Youlia’s confident heart.

By the time Youlia realized the problem, it was too late to dodge because Bai Fu was too close. She could only barely sidestep.

“-41”

Critical hit!

The heavy punch landed squarely on her waist, causing her waist to tremble violently. She was thrown out like a kite cut loose.

The world went silent.

Youlia was stunned.

When she was flying in the air, she didn’t feel pain but overwhelming disbelief.

She was actually hit, by someone she controlled!

She briefly doubted if she was in a dream.

Until her body crashed into a stone pillar behind a hidden door, shaking it violently, she woke up abruptly.

Now was not the time to lament or feel anger or hatred; that woman was charging again, and Yago raised his gun immediately. If they delayed any longer, everyone would realize what was happening.

“Manipulator!”

Youlia quickly used a skill on Bai Fu again.

However, this time, Bai Fu didn’t even pause for 0.1 seconds. She charged to Youlia and delivered the second punch to her face.

Boom!

Youlia was knocked back several times before stabilizing. By then, Yago had already fired another bullet, which grazed the wall and pierced her left arm.

“Sss—”

Youlia gritted her teeth.

When Bai Fu charged at her for the third time, she suddenly pulled out an injection syringe identical to the one Nine had used.

“Stop her!” Yago’s face changed drastically.

The severely wounded Nine had significantly increased its strength after being altered. If Youlia succeeded in altering, everyone present would be killed.

Xia Shi aimed and shot, followed closely by Yago, constantly forcing Youlia’s movements. Youlia dodged and weaved, unable to find an opportunity to inject herself.

Just as they were in a deadlock, Bai Fu arrived, delivering a powerful punch.

Only now did the players react.

Damn, counterattack, start now!

“FuFu, I’ll help you!”

“C’mon, Bai Fu!”

Nothing could be more thrilling and moving than seeing Bai Fu break free from control and send the seemingly invincible Youlia flying.

A large group of players rushed toward Youlia.

Cornered, Youlia suddenly opened her mouth and let out a sharp, ear-piercing scream from her throat.

Those far away were fine, but those nearby felt as if they had fallen into a swamp.

[You suffered a mental shock, entering a dazed state]

Now.

Taking advantage of everyone’s dazed state, Youlia tried to escape.

But Yago, who had been frustrated for so long, wouldn’t let her go easily. He raised his gun, aimed, and fired, piercing her left calf.

“-19”

Bang!

Her body tilted and she fell to the ground.

“Don’t let her escape!”

Yago shouted loudly.

Given the current situation, it seemed impossible to escape. As for the experiment, there was no time for that.

Realizing this, Youlia abandoned her escape attempt. She rolled over, her face showing neither despair nor anger.

Something’s wrong!

Bai Fu heightened her alertness. Against this type of skill-based boss, she couldn’t afford to relax even for a moment, or she might be flipped over unexpectedly.

She noticed Youlia looking at her.

“Do you call yourself Bai Fu?”

Bai Fu didn’t respond but gathered strength, ready to deliver a punch to knock Youlia down.

“I don’t have drugs to suppress the bug tide. Even if you kill me, you can’t stop the bug tide. But there’s an inducement bait in the lab. If we use it properly, maybe we can guide the bug tide elsewhere.”

“You want to beg for mercy?”

“No.” Youlia suddenly smiled, her gaze unusually intense, “I just hope you survive until next time I come for you. I’m very interested in you now. To me, you are the most special one.”

Bai Fu felt a chill in her buttocks.

She began to suspect this woman had some special interests. Otherwise, why would she look at her so intensely after being beaten up?

Pervert!

What kind of person is this, joining such a crazy organization like the Truth Society.

She rushed forward and punched Youlia.

This time, Youlia didn’t resist at all and was struck flat on her back.

After being hit, Youlia seemed even more excited.

Could she be happy?

Bai Fu actually broke free from her control purely out of anger, something that never happened since she awakened her abilities. If given the chance, she must study Bai Fu thoroughly!

After three punches, Bai Fu received a game prompt.

[You killed Youlia (fake body), 69.2% contribution, gained 15224 experience points after level difference correction]

[You triggered the quest [Bug Tide Invasion]]

[Quest Description: The tipped-over inducement bait by Nine attracted the amoeba bug tide. If not stopped, the abandoned cooling plant might be destroyed by the bug tide]

[Quest Objective: Find a way to stop the impending bug tide in the abandoned cooling plant]

[Reward: Reward depends on contribution]

[Accept/Reject]

Seeing the first prompt, Bai Fu was startled.

Fake body?

No wonder Youlia’s reactions were so strange, and she couldn’t use spirit vision to check her data. She had truly provoked a formidable monster.

But Bai Fu wasn’t overly worried.

She had already overcome the hardest period, raising her level and popularity. Could the danger posed by Youlia be greater than when she first arrived in this world, clueless and helpless?

Instead of worrying about Youlia’s retaliation, she should focus on how much gold Youlia had dropped.

15224 experience points were impressive, but it wasn’t everything. There must be plenty of good stuff hidden in that laboratory.

Without hesitation, Bai Fu jumped into the hidden door.

The moment her figure disappeared, the players outside cheered loudly.

“Awesome, FuFu is awesome!”

“Haha, we won!”

“Fu’s Gate forever!”

Jiujiao didn’t shout but quickly returned to her live stream.

So, you guys were attacking me and FuFu earlier, huh? Well, it’s time to retaliate!

[You’re right, but this is FuFu, a mysterious identity, beautiful, and incredibly powerful NPC. She always thinks of the players, even when controlled, she tries her best to resist to avoid hurting players. Seeing players hurt by bosses, she becomes extremely angry and breaks free to beat the bosses. Who else?]

The live stream went silent.

After a few seconds, the entire virtual screen was filled with 【Fu’s Gate】.

PS: Finally, I managed to advance to the third round of recommendations. Please continue to support and read!
