Chapter 1082: Chapter 792: If They Start It, Let’s Flip the Table

The intense sound of explosions alarmed the nearby monsters. Some chose to flee, while others were drawn over.

The disturbed wild BOSS roared, bearing a massive wound on its body, with a large red damage number flashing above its head. Zheng Yichen felt slightly off about it.

"I remember there was a realistic mode... Oh, found it." Zheng Yichen glanced at the attribute panel and switched to realistic mode. This mode didn’t exactly mimic reality entirely.

Instead, it made the combat experience feel more "realistic" for players, offering a different sensation compared to traditional mode.

To put it simply, realistic mode allowed players to toggle the display of health bars and avoided situations where a hit on an enemy’s fingertip still dealt immense damage.

In exchange, hitting an enemy’s weak spot could trigger higher critical multipliers, even achieving one-hit kills.

Earlier, Zheng Yichen had struck the weak spot of this BOSS. However, the result was merely a critical hit, and the overall damage output wasn’t high enough.

Under normal circumstances, this strike would’ve left the enemy barely alive. Thus, traditional mode wasn’t quite up to par...

Of course, realistic mode brought higher potential damage output, but it also made players more prone to being one-shot killed.

Gain some, lose some.

Not everyone was a top-tier warrior; for those wanting to casually enjoy the virtual world, traditional mode was still better.

After switching modes, Zheng Yichen instantly felt the difference. A black spear appeared in his hand.

A system popup immediately delivered a corresponding notification, categorizing this ability as a "special ability."

Zheng Yichen casually named the black spear and confirmed it. The skill name displayed a blurred "realistic" prefix, but the prefix didn’t fully clarify, as though the system had encountered a bug.

In this world’s reality, special abilities didn’t exist... yet Zheng Yichen’s black spear was undoubtedly born from extraordinary abilities. Just because it couldn’t be used in reality didn’t mean it was unusable in the virtual world.

Forget the black spear—Zheng Yichen could even attempt to use Oblivion. However, wielding Oblivion felt uncomfortable even for him, so he avoided using it unless absolutely necessary.

The upward thrust of the black spear conjured a blood-red dragon head. Amid the dragon’s roar, the massive body of the wild BOSS was lifted into the air, exposing its vulnerable underbelly. The black spear pierced straight through the soft belly, destroying the BOSS’s heart.

A death-inducing damage figure of -999999 appeared in black, something only achievable in realistic mode. In traditional mode, such black death damage would only be possible if the skill inherently carried this effect, which was otherwise rare.

Even hitting a vital weak spot, like the heart, would only result in high critical damage under traditional mode. Death-inducing damage numbers would always exceed the target’s maximum life value by one digit.

In traditional mode, even high critical damage wouldn’t necessarily kill the BOSS instantly.

Striking a spot like the heart would at least start at ten times critical damage as the baseline.

The massive BOSS’s body began to wither and decay. A significant amount of blood was drained from its body, and Zheng Yichen’s level shot up rapidly, directly reaching Level 25 while his attributes more than doubled.

In the virtual world, the black spear’s lifesteal manifested as gaining additional attributes and experience points.

"Weird, it feels like I just performed Soul Devour." Dispelling the black spear in his hand, Zheng Yichen reached out to catch Tanshia Filo, who was falling from the air. The small white dragon shared some of the experience from this battle, but its level gain was minimal—only two levels.

That’s because she had started at Level 30. The higher the level, the slower the leveling process, a well-known fact.

Still, focusing on BOSS hunting made reaching maximum level not too difficult.

"Does it have a soul?" Tanshia Filo asked somewhat puzzled.

"From what I can sense, it seems like it does, but it’s very weak," Zheng Yichen replied after briefly pondering, deciding to test this on other monsters next.

After all, the environmental conditions of this world were subpar. External factors made special powers unusable, meaning that the fishing rod’s many functionalities were practically useless, and opening the Gate of Hell wasn’t even an option.

In the virtual world, without the fishing rod, his only source of aid was Lilith.

But now, by defeating a BOSS and experiencing Soul Devour through extraordinary abilities, the existence of this virtual world suddenly seemed a bit peculiar. This must have involved some black technology, right?

Since it was black technology, it was probably linked to the Boundary Breaker. Until the issue was clarified, he might as well throw the responsibility onto the Boundary Breaker—it was surely the Boundary Breaker’s fault!

The white-haired duo began sweeping through the nearby monsters. Overhead, a zeppelin passed by. Passengers on deck, armed with binoculars, observed the scenery below and noticed the commotion underway.

One young player exclaimed with a shocked expression, "Whoa! Check it out, I saw a dragon girl!"

His words prompted other players to peer out the windows at the action below.

The virtual world contained a plethora of elements: immortality cultivation, magic, monsters, elves, and many other intelligent creatures.

Players could even undergo special transformations through certain pathways.

"Dragon Hominid Tribe? That’s a rare class. Why does it seem like a child got it?" another player remarked in confusion as they observed the battle below.
