"Wang Tanzhi, Level 33.
"Please select the game mode that you wish to join.
"You have selected Tournament for the Best — Battle of the Bug. Please confirm.
"Confirmed, generating scenario …"
"Downloading, please wait a moment."
"Who said the mantis cannot resist? Watch the firefly swallow the moon." This was the opening of Battle of the Bug. It was read by an excited male voice, and it sounded quite encouraging.
"Download complete. You are currently playing Tournament for the Best — Battle of the Bug.
"This mode does not have a scenario introduction, hidden side quests, or special worldbuilding.
"Reward for winning the scenario: Win + 1
"Your current battle result is: 0 battles, 0 wins, 0 losses.
"Main quest triggered.
"Kill your opponent."
After midnight, Xiao Tan logged into the game in sleeping mode. This was the first scenario that he had entered since he logged in, and it was also his first match in the Tournament for the Best.
However, he was not nervous at all.
At the very least, he was a doctor. Yes, even though he had not mentioned this setting for a long time already, he was indeed a doctor, and a very good one at that.
When he was faced with supernatural creatures that science could not explain, he was easily spooked … and that was his personality.
When he was bullied and tortured by Xiao Ling, he could not resist at all … and that was consensual.
But when it was time to get serious, Wang Tanzhi was not one to hold back.
That week, Laughing Soul had done many one-on-one training sessions with him. By then, Xiao Tan had gotten used to PvP. In fact … his performance had far exceeded Laughing Soul's expectations.
During the days that they had been training together, Laughing Soul had noticed Xiao Tan's talent. She realized … that Xiao Tan had a very good fighting talent, but … he seemed to be suppressing this instinct. Only at certain critical moments would he reveal it due to the pressure … and most of the time, Xiao Tan's performance was one of 'fear of injuring his opponent'.
However, even under this condition, Xiao Tan, who had gotten used to the rhythm of the players' battle, could be considered an expert. Perhaps there was still a gap between him and a professional player, but he was not someone that a casual player could defeat easily. After all … Xiao Tan had another advantage — he was a nouveau riche.
On the eve of the Tournament for the Best, Xiao Tan used both Skill Points and Game Coins (RMB) to purchase a decent set of equipment. Currently, he could wield two weapons in melee combat. Other than the [Energy-Charged Tri-Edge Blade] given to him by his Brother Jue, he also bought a claw blade from the Thriller Box.
[Name: Meow's Wrath]
Type: Weapon
[Quality: Excellent]
[Attack: Medium]
[Element: Ice]
[Special Effect: Inflict 150% weapon damage and Freeze effect to humanoid beings and physicists wearing glasses, formal suits, bow ties or neckties.]
[Equip Requirement: Fighting C]
[Remark: Four sharp claws, the material of which is unknown.
In terms of attack power and attributes, this could be considered a good piece of equipment. This was because the 'ice' attribute was one of the rarer weapon attributes in the game. Once triggered, its slowing effect and Frostbite effect were all very valuable in battle.
Under this premise, even if the special effect of the claw blade was a bit ridiculous, it did not matter. Furthermore, it was not impossible to find a suitable target.
Xiao Tan was equipped with a claw blade in his right hand and a hidden blade on his right wrist. He could use the two interchangeably. His left hand was holding the Energy-Charged Tri-Edge Blade in reverse, and his left forearm was equipped with a hidden dart that contained five sharp darts.
When he bought the outfit, he had made the right choice in choosing the assassin's outfit. After all, it was the outfit of a professional assassin in the era of cold weapons. It had plenty of storage space and weapon slots. All kinds of equipment were within reach. Furthermore, the outfit was light and form-fitting, allowing the player to bring out the attributes of Agility.
In terms of other equipment, other than the store-bought equipment, Xiao Tan also bought a set of armor from the Auction House.
[Name: Withered Armor]
[Type: Armor]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Defense Points: Quite Strong]
[Element: None]
[Special Effect: Receive double damage from fire elemental attacks]
[Equip Requirement: Level 30, Bound after equip]
[Remark: A long time ago, the hunters at Demon's Creek came up with the creation method of this armor. They cut the bark from the dead body of the Treant Warriors and pulled out the vines that were soaked in the Demon's Creek. Combining the two, they created this extremely light and durable armor. Its only weakness is its fear of fire.]
The pros and cons of this item were obvious, or else it would not have been put up for auction. The player who discovered this item probably already had another set of armor, and considering the weakness of this Wilted Armor, they had given up on it in the end.
Actually, as long as the opponent did not know that this item was afraid of fire, it was not bad to wear. Quite Strong Defense and Light Weight were all attributes that Xiao Tan needed.
Taking a look at his skills, his title, Whirlwind Nightmare, had not changed. Naturally, he still had all the skills that he had gained during the Toy War.
During one of the lucky draws for clearing a scenario, Xiao Tan was lucky enough to draw a very powerful skill. Different from a normal active skill like Reverse Spinning Slash, this was a real ultimate skill.
— — — Name: Shadow Soul Chase
Skill Card Property: Active, Permanent
[Skill Type: Fighting]
Effect: A skill that utilizes the power of dark speed. Convert the power of dark speed into energy and focus it on one hit to destroy the enemy (Can only be activated when using a melee weapon and moving)
Consumption: Fifty percent of Maximum Stamina Points
[Prerequisites: Fighting C, Sleuthing C]
Remark: A skill commonly used by the legendary Demon Assassin, Dark Flash. Its unique dark speed energy has ended the lives of countless heroes in an unimaginable way. When this skill is activated, the damage will depend on the player's movement speed and the impact of the attack. It will not be lower than the damage of the weapon.
Theoretically speaking, as long as the player could use some method to increase their speed to a certain degree … like surpassing the speed of sound, then it was not impossible to kill the boss in one hit.
In conclusion, in the week before the start of this war, be it in terms of hard or soft power, Xiao Tan had improved considerably. He was confident that he would be able to carve out a bloody path in the War of the Bugs and enter the top three thousand.
But … no one would have guessed who his first opponent would be.
The shadow that stood about one hundred meters away from him was the number three member of Blade Edge Studio, currently ranked sixteenth on the combat ranking — Seven Kills.
