Chapter 152: Chapter 151: "Just One Day.
```
Afterward, he turned angrily toward the black sedan where Chen Miao was, and bellowed, "Chen Miao, don't play these little tricks, do you think by coming out later, you could make both bosses attack me and exhaust my means of attack?"
"The government team in Fengtian City isn't stupid, do you think they can't see through your little tricks?"
"Do you plan to go to the City-State Competition, still relying on these little tricks?"
As his voice fell.
Many people around also looked at the black sedan of Chen Miao in unison, evidently, the audience gathered here quite agreed with Sang Biao's words; not showing himself and letting Sang Biao face the attack of the two bosses alone did seem a bit scheming.
And at this moment——
Chen Miao, dressed in a tweed coat and wearing a newsboy cap, walked down from the black sedan with a cane and stood in the Sankui Wasteland. He glanced around before turning his gaze to the two massive bosses not far away.
His expression appeared somewhat lazy.
As if he had just woken up, there was none of the tension or excitement one would expect before a big battle.
"This six-meter-tall one was the opponent I picked first; your opponent is the seven-meter-tall one."
As Chen Miao got out of the black sedan, Sang Biao quickly spoke up, "Don't get it wrong, otherwise it's you who breaks the rules first, and breaking the rules counts as a forfeit."
"Oh."
Chen Miao nodded indifferently, put away his cane, and pulled out his Bee King Sniper Rifle, which immediately drew everyone's attention with its appearance—a mix of dominance and uniqueness.
The colorful light flashing off the firearm was a bit too dazzling.
He was here today to make a name for himself, so he didn't turn off the firearm's glow but instead displayed the colorful light produced by the unique Firearm Skin "Taotie".
After pulling out the sniper rifle, he didn't aim and shoot.
He simply used the sniper rifle as a cane, walking slowly towards the seven-meter-tall boss. As if sensing Chen Miao's challenge, Medusa's Elder Sister immediately turned her head to look at Chen Miao who had joined the battlefield.
With a ferocious expression, she turned and charged toward Chen Miao!
"Be careful!"
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim, as in that state of Chen Miao, many spectators thought he might not have woken up fully, not realizing the danger.
Chen Miao ignored the reaction of the crowd, simply standing in place and stopping his steps, looking calmly at Medusa's Elder Sister coming toward him, the seven-plus meters height giving a sense of oppression akin to a machine gun.
Just as she was about to reach him, and the audience had their hearts in their throats.
Chen Miao turned around.
Chen Miao suddenly ignored Medusa charging directly at him and, while the creature's claws were swinging in mid-air about to hit his head, he suddenly turned to the surrounding people, showed a friendly smile, and casually hoisted the sniper rifle onto his shoulder.
The muzzle was pointed squarely at the back of Medusa's Elder Sister's head.
Just as that claw was about to smash into Chen Miao's head, the crowd couldn't help but let out cries of alarm, even Zhou Shen inside the car was preparing to come to the rescue, his expression fraught with urgency.
The next second——
"Bang."
Amidst the continuous and rapid gunfire from Sang Biao's Gatling, a slightly crisp gunshot suddenly broke through, and flashes of gunfire streaked across the sniper rifle on Chen Miao's shoulder, plumes of gunsmoke rising.
Then they saw the seven-meter-tall Medusa boss's body suddenly stiffen in mid-air, and the claw about to smash Chen Miao's head froze a meter away.
The boss's health bar nearly darkened in an instant, completely depleted.
Subsequently, under the incredulous gaze of everyone, Medusa's Elder Sister, so imposing just moments before, fell heavily to the ground, a fist-sized hole in her forehead from which blood steadily oozed.
"Ding, Fengtian City announcement."
"Congratulations to Fengtian City for successfully solving the 'boss siege' random event, with one Medusa killed. The player who inflicted the most damage is Chen Miao, dealing 100% of the damage, and the player who landed the final blow is Chen Miao, dealing 100% of the damage."
"Ding, it has been detected that this is the first time in Fengtian City's history that a siege boss has been fatally struck by a player in one hit, thus a special reward is given—a Classless Common Skill, 'Fatal Strike'."
Only when the announcement resounded did people truly confirm one thing: Medusa was indeed dead, truly killed by Chen Miao with a single shot.
As Medusa's body fell and kicked up a large cloud of dust, Chen Miao, still holding his cane, emerged from the dust, unblemished and with calm expression, giving the crowd a smile before heading toward his black sedan.
Without any hesitation, the vehicle started and drove off into the distance.
From start to finish, he didn't speak to anyone, stayed in the car the whole time, only came down for ten seconds, and fired just one shot.
The match was over.
```
With that shot, the competition came to a decisive end without any suspense.
"Chen Miao won."
In the crowd, Chi Qiu, who had cheered for Chen Miao, was shocked to his core by the scene in front of him, standing there for a long time before he could recover. Finally, with a slight movement in his throat, he turned to Ke Gou beside him, "You've seen a thing or two in your time, though I've never asked in detail, I know you have a story."
"In your experience, is it normal for a boss of Medusa's caliber to be one-shotted with a single bullet?"
"Not normal."
Ke Gou shook his head firmly, "This Medusa boss is level 19, and even though she hasn't reached level 20 and can't exhibit Medusa's full abilities, she's definitely not a weak presence. It's normal that she couldn't beat Chen Miao."
"Although Chen Miao is only level 14, after all, he's a top-tier character. For someone like him, taking down a boss a few levels above him is quite simple and nothing unusual. But to one-shot with a bullet is a bit absurd."
"That sniper rifle, though it's undergone significant cosmetic changes, I can still tell that it's the 'Bee King Sniper Rifle'."
"It's not even an occupational weapon for a gunman, and it hasn't been upgraded at all, it's in a +0 state."
"The stats for this gun are easily found online, with a damage energy coefficient of 80-100, which puts it among the more powerful weapons, especially since sniper rifles are known for their high damage."
"But that's all there is to it."
"Even if the damage energy coefficient were 10,000, it wouldn't be feasible for one shot to kill Medusa, and since this gun shows no signs of enhancements, there's only one possibility."
"Chen Miao must possess a number of skills or items that could amplify the damage of the firearm in his hands, resulting in this bullet's damage reaching an incredibly terrifying level, enough to take down Medusa in one shot."
"For an ordinary gunman, these kinds of skills and items that boost the power of firearms are extremely rare and precious. It seems Chen Miao has more than one in his possession, and they're the kind that can stack without conflicting with each other, so the value of these amplifying items just skyrocketed."
"Besides..."
"All right, no need to explain further."
Chi Qiu murmured in shock, "I get it. It means Miao is even more incredible than before. And there's Sang Biao still going 'tat tat' over there. The match is already over, and he's still shooting away."
"Uh... why is Sang Biao suddenly crying for help?"
With the death of Medusa's Elder Sister, Medusa's Sister entered a frenzied final state, swinging a multitude of snake tails from the back of her head and spewing darkish gray fog that engulfed Sang Biao, continuously corroding his mechanical prosthesis.
The speed of her claw swipes grew faster as well.
Sang Biao, who had initially frozen up upon seeing Chen Miao one-shot the boss, was now caught off guard by the strengthened opponent and found himself without the ability to fight back, fleeing in panic and even crying out for help, in a most embarrassing plight.
Members of the Events Bureau exchange glances and began to close in. This was why they had come, to clean up the mess, and it was their job to handle these matters.
...
"Zhou Shen."
Inside the black sedan, Hungry Monkey looked at Zhou Shen with a heavy heart, "Among the Tomb Guardians, I am considered an elder, and I even share a tomb chamber with Miao. Sometimes, you see, the wind by my ear might just be quite useful."
"What do you think?"
"If you want to have a good future with the Tomb Guardians, you can't overlook someone like me."
"..."
Zhou Shen remained expressionless and silent for a while before reluctantly speaking, "That's impossible. The boss's corpses decay, and usually, we gather them for cremation after the battle ends, storing them for up to three days at most. After three days, they start to rot; even in winter, the storage time is only slightly longer."
"If we don't take care of such a large boss's corpse quickly, the decay could be serious. Not to mention the stench alone is unbearable, let alone the various complicated bacteria that are hard to deal with."
"Understood."
With a serious nod, Hungry Monkey replied, "I won't make it difficult for you, but I am genuinely curious. So how about this, just bring it over for me to play with for a day. I won't do anything else; I'm just curious."
"Just for a day."
"After one day, you can have someone haul it away to be burnt or cremated, or whatever is necessary. I'm lowering my posture this much; you have to give me this much face, right?"
Inside the car, Yuan Buping glanced up at Hungry Monkey, thinking it odd. Had Hungry Monkey been watching some TV drama lately, for even this manner of self-referencing to come out?
"Sigh."
Zhou Shen glanced at Chen Miao, who sat pretend-sleeping in the passenger seat without saying a word, and realized that Miao was tacitly allowing Hungry Monkey's ridiculous behavior. After hesitating for a long time, he finally caved in, "Fine, then. I'll bring it over later, and I'll take it away tomorrow night."
"But Hungry Monkey, you really can't mess around. So far, the Federation hasn't figured out these kinds of boss corpses, and there could be contagious diseases. Most of those diseases are spread through, well, you know. If you do that thing, then probably, you know, it won't be good if you end up having to, you know."
"Rest assured."
Hungry Monkey rolled his eyes at Zhou Shen, irritated, "I'm not insane to that extent. I'm just curious. I've never seen a seven-foot tall woman in real life, I just want to touch her and see what it feels like."
