Chapter 151: Chapter 150: "Wow... it's so big.
"The Thompson Submachine Gun has a damage energy coefficient between 6-15, nowhere near enough to penetrate defenses," he said. "Even with enhancements, but the highest it can go is 30, so there's definitely no way it can penetrate defenses as of now."
"Bro, don't forget he bought a blueprint for a Gatling at the auction," his brother reminded him.
"Heh."
Sang De snorted contemptuously, "You're in the Gunman Profession yourself. Don't you know? The initial damage energy coefficient of a Gatling is only 20-30. Without enhancements, there's absolutely no chance of penetrating defenses."
"So what if it's enhanced? Could it be stronger than yours?" his brother prodded. "Your Gatling has a special firearm skin and has been enhanced for quite a long time."
"Don't worry, you're definitely going to win this time," he reassured. "But after you win, some faces in the Fengtian City Government team might not look too good. But don't worry about it; I'll handle these matters."
"You just need to focus on beating Chen Miao and take down that boss before him as quickly as possible," he continued.
"Hm."
Sang Biao nodded, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Bro, has the Chi Family abandoned us?"
"No."
Sang De shook his head, "You don't need to worry about these things. Matters concerning the Chi Family are complicated; you need not concern yourself with them. But indeed, the Chi Family is trying to get closer to Chen Miao. Leave these matters to me, okay?"
...
Outside of Sankui Wasteland.
At this time, many people had gathered here, including representatives from the Fengtian City Government team, delegates from various powers such as the Chi Family and the Black Hand Gang, and staff from the Enforcement Bureau and Events Bureau to maintain order at the scene and to clean up any mess afterward.
And then there were the important figures of this random event.
Sang Biao and Chen Miao.
Right now, Sang Biao was sitting among a bunch of staff members who were continuously applying lubricant to his mechanical prosthesis and stuffing ammunition into the magazines inside his body, evidently preparing for the upcoming battle.
As for Chen Miao's side...
There was no sign of anyone present.
A group sat in their recently purchased black sedan, watching a movie projected in mid-air from the car's system.
"Not bad,"
Chen Miao commented with a smile, "The money was well spent. Not only can we watch a movie in the car, but we can also turn on the heater. It's warm and cozy, not cold at all."
At this point, winter had set in, with snow having fallen just yesterday, and today was the coldest time.
On the Sankui Wasteland, there was nothing to block the wind, and the cold wind on the face felt like a knife's edge. It was much more comfortable in the car.
This must be the meaning of earning money.
Today was December 1.
The City-State Competition would start on January 1 next year, a month away.
Then, Zhou Shen, cold as ice, opened the sedan's back door and climbed in, blowing on his hands, "I couldn't catch up. That 'Taboo Item' ran away. The monster, with its little master, raced towards the outskirts."
"They kept going until they reached the jurisdiction of Gaobei City, then I stopped pursuing."
"Couldn't catch up?"
Hungry Monkey looked at Zhou Shen in surprise. "Can't be, can it? Is the Events Bureau really that weak? You can't even catch a Taboo Item? Is the Taboo Item Rank very high?"
"Don't know."
Zhou Shen shook his head. "I don't know its rank or what abilities it has. I couldn't even see its stats. All I know is it's a summoning-type Taboo Item, the master is an autistic little boy, but beyond that, I've got no clue. Anyway, it's run off to Gaobei City's territory now, so what happens next is no longer my concern—let the Gaobei City Events Bureau handle it."
"By the way, Miao, I've already heard on my way here that the duel with Sang Biao has changed its form. Are you confident?"
As he spoke, Zhou Shen sent a bestiary to Chen Miao through his wristwatch: "I have information on various common bosses here. This Medusa boss often appears with her sisters."
"Their distinctive feature is immunity to all sources of damage with an 'Energy Coefficient below 50'."
"And after killing either the sister or the elder sister, the other Medusa boss will enter an enraged final state, significantly increasing her strength."
"Oh?"
Chen Miao's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the boss bestiary sent by Zhou Shen. Immune to all sources of damage with an energy coefficient below 50? He smelled a hint of being targeted; his Thompson submachine gun was always known for scratching quickly, though lightly.
Even though he sensed being targeted, he didn't take it to heart.
He simply nodded nonchalantly and said, "Pretty good."
"Pretty good?"
Zhou Shen didn't know what he meant by 'pretty good' and just as he was about to speak, a deafening roar suddenly came from a distance.
Two gigantic bosses emerged out of nowhere.
The countdown had ended.
One with a height of seven meters, the other six meters, both bosses emerged together, their features quite nice to look at, but perhaps due to their overly large faces, there was a sense of terror.
Their eyes were blood-red, and each strand of hair had turned into a snake. Countless snakes waved in the wind behind the two bosses, hissing continuously, creating an extremely creepy scene.
Their clothes were tattered and worn.
Their pale skin showed through, with hints of revealing more than intended.
Both bosses were unarmed, their fingernails blue and extremely long, suggesting that their nails were their weapons.
"Wow... they're so big."
Sitting in the car, Hungry Monkey's gaze slowly moved down from the mass of snakes on Medusa's head, eventually landing on the tattered clothes, and he murmured, "My god... what would it feel like to touch them."
"If we took those two hemispheres off, they'd probably make a very bouncy trampoline at Eternal Cemetery."
"They do seem very bouncy."
"Miao, leave a whole corpse, let me study it later."
"..."
Zhou Shen glanced expressionlessly at Hungry Monkey, feeling certain that there was something not quite right in his head. Wouldn't a normal person's first reaction upon seeing this boss be to consider how to deal with it?
Before Chen Miao even stepped out of the car.
Sang Biao had already rushed in first, with the Gatling gun embedded in his arm showing no hesitation, targeting the six-meter-tall boss and opening fire. These two bosses were sister bosses; the elder was stronger, the younger slightly weaker.
Whoever gained the upper hand first would force the opponent to face the weaker sister.
Sang Biao sneered with contempt in his heart, clearly thinking that Chen Miao, who was still posing inside the car, hadn't realized the competition had already begun. But soon, he noticed something was amiss.
At this moment, no one else around made a move.
He was the only one firing.
All the hostility of the two bosses had been attracted to him, and now they both furiously and fiercely charged towards him; feeling a chill on his back, Sang Biao instantly activated the thrusters on his legs, propelling himself into the air.
Barely escaping disaster, he let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
