Chapter 234: Chapter 150 Stick Technique_2

The applause around her made Shana lose herself in the moment, and in a fit of excitement, she used Whirlwind Stick. Gripping the stick in the middle, she spun it around, hitting the approaching zombies which the system recognized as slashing attacks. Not only did she cause additional knockdowns and stuns with the executions, but under the continual strikes, the zombies kept spasming.

Everyone applauded and cheered for her.

But the coolness didn’t last more than five seconds. Shana couldn’t keep the stick going, and faced with three fierce zombies, she had no choice but to turn and run. Amidst Lin Wu’s hissing, Maya actually thought the Whirlwind Stick wasn’t bad. Theoretically, slashing required power to be effective, but Shana could make up for it in numbers rather than strength, and most importantly, it didn’t consume stamina. Of course, it wouldn’t work on Blood Zombies, they were too close and she’d surely get infected.

Shana grabbed her stick and, red-faced, ran over to kick Lin Wu in the shin, but he dodged left and right.

Maya said, "Lin Wu, take Shana to find a Frenzy. Shana, you deal with it using your spinning stick."

Shana nodded and explained, "It’s called Whirl Dance Stick Flower."

Lin Wu, curious, asked, "How do you know that?"

Shana responded, "My dad is a fan of ancient martial arts; I’ve seen him spinning sticks. But that was all he could do."

"And that’s considered a fan?"

"He practiced Tai Chi. Spinning the stick was just to make me laugh." Shana said this, and then she began to miss her parents.

Without any sympathy, Lin Wu flicked Shana on the head, "Move it, what are you daydreaming about."

Not one to be coddled, Shana swung her stick to hit him, but Lin Wu had anticipated this and avoided it with a quick Wind Stinger, fleeing beyond the stick’s reach. The two ran out of the factory area in pursuit of a Frenzy.

Little Knife watched their retreating figures, "Don’t you think Shana’s being so childish?" Before, when Shana led Bai Ban, she wasn’t like this – more professional smiles and words that made her seem unapproachable.

Snow Egg pondered, "So it’s not being with you that makes people childish, it’s being with Lin Wu that does it."

Little Knife knocked Snow Egg out with a punch and Snow Egg lay down, pretending to be dead. Little Knife said, "Get up, we’re pulling mobs." Double physical strength could be overdrafted into stamina for speed.

Still playing dead, Snow Egg protested, "I’m stunned, I got knocked out by an ally, I need someone to pull me up."

Seeing that Snow Egg was feigning incapacity, and with Maya and Horse Soul watching, Little Knife, red in the face with anger, blurted out, "Hurry Shudao Mountain."

Before she could count, Snow Egg sprang to his feet and dashed off, knowing that lying there to irritate Little Knife was the least wise thing to do.

Elsewhere, Lin Wu crouched on the ground, five meters away from a prone Frenzy. To deal with its height, Shana crouched and spun her stick, smacking it repeatedly on the Frenzy’s head...The effects of stunning and knockdown were quite good, but it was difficult to trigger execution due to the lack of power, and as Frenzies were tough, the battle dragged on for 15 seconds and finally ended when Shana lost her grip on the stick.

As Shana went to retrieve her stick, she shouted, "Don’t kill it."

Lin Wu had no choice but to ’walk’ the Frenzy. Shana took her stick back, and when Lin Wu brought the Frenzy to her, she resumed her cruel treatment of it. This raised a question for Lin Wu, "Poking has a 20% chance of execution, slashing a 30% chance, but why can you only execute them when you attack zombies that are already down? Look closely at the skill description."

Shana nodded, attacked another round, and Lin Wu again ’walked’ the Frenzy, but this time he couldn’t help but kill it off. When Shana checked the Staff Expertise description, she found the issue. Poking had a 30% chance of a combo, 20% chance of stunning, 20% chance of knocking down, and a 20% increased execution chance. The first three were direct probabilities, whereas the 20% increased execution chance was on top of the existing probability of execution. Slashing was the same.

Because Shana hadn’t invested in strength, her base execution chance was extremely low, so adding 20% was virtually meaningless. Against downed zombies, all players had a high execution rate.

Lin Wu complained outright, arguing that the Frenzy was downed too. Little White Rabbit explained that Frenzy had Anti-dizzy Ability and confusion arose because a Frenzy would only pass out when executed. Lin Wu’s first backstab would always stun a Frenzy, but a single execution wouldn’t kill it. Apart from Frenzies, Night Demons, Blind Bats, and others could also not be killed in one hit. Titan was, of course, the most inflated of all; where executions attacks were just effective hits for it.

Frenzy was indeed knocked down by Shana, but as a quadriped, it wasn’t truly knocked down, so no execution chance was granted.

After Little White Rabbit, Dawn, left, Shana said to Lin Wu, "I used to think you were biased against Dawn."

Lin Wu asked, "And now?"

Shana answered, "Now I find it strange, why doesn’t Dawn have a bias against you? Hey, all that and you’re complaining? You know Dawn could never be wrong."

Lin Wu retorted, "No thanks, just criticism. Hmph!"

"Thank you, thank you," Shana said. "How about I cook dinner tonight?"

"Shhh, don’t tell Maya and the others," Lin Wu said. "Last time, the ingredients were wiped out in one meal."

Shana was puzzled, "Didn’t you tell Maya you’d scavenge for food first before going to the concrete plant?"

Lin Wu smiled bitterly, "I thought by saying that, they’d bring food from the main base. But Maya didn’t think that way at all... I should have known, she can’t read hints from a foodie... or maybe to her, I’m not a foodie. Right, I was once an ambitious young man, and after teaming up with you, I got obsessed with finding food."
