Damn, There's a Hack!

The Sniper God Talent truly lived up to its SSS-Tier rating. It could even correct predictive attacks.

Qin Chuan thought to himself.

The BOSS's attributes were extremely high—not only its concrete stats like attack, defense, and health, but also its speed.

Qin Chuan had just aimed at the Wild Rabbit BOSS's eyes and thrown his dagger, but he had not held much hope.

After all, this rabbit hopped faster than ordinary rabbits, and its head shook so quickly it nearly left afterimages.

Simply landing a hit was difficult, let alone triggering a Weakness Attack.

Yet Qin Chuan had done it, proving once more just how powerful the Sniper God Talent was.

After unleashing Shadow Flying Dagger, Qin Chuan decisively activated Shadow Stealth and glanced at the BOSS's remaining health.

[Giant Wild Rabbit (Black Iron tier)]

Level: 5

Health: 46522/50000

Attack: 350

Defense: 250

Skill: Hop Hop

Description: Born bearing the vengeful fury of the wild rabbit clan, it possessed power beyond the limits of ordinary wild rabbits.

The Wild Rabbit BOSS had spawned several minutes ago. After being besieged by hundreds of players, it had lost only five percent of its health—roughly two or three thousand points. Yet with a single dagger, Qin Chuan had dealt nearly a thousand damage.

And he could deal that much damage once every twenty seconds.

In one minute, he could surpass the combined total damage of the other players.

However, Qin Chuan did not let down his guard.

More players were rushing back, including elite players like the Dragon Soaring Team.

Their individual damage might not have been high, but accumulated together, it was still considerable.

And according to Apocalypse's rules, if he failed to deal more than half the decisive damage, Qin Chuan could not be completely certain that the loot would belong to him.

Qin Chuan quickly calculated.

"I can use Cloakbreaking Strike three times per minute, dealing nearly three thousand damage. To deal over half the decisive damage, I'll need eight minutes."

"But the number of players is increasing. Too much can happen in eight minutes."

"What if I don't wait for Shadow Stealth's cooldown and use extra Shadow Flying Daggers? Shadow Flying Dagger has a short cooldown, after all."

"No, the risk is too great. This is the first BOSS in the Newbie Village. If I deal massive damage, I'll definitely become everyone's target. The moment I reveal myself, I'll be surrounded. With this little health, I can't take more than a few hits."

"Even red-name penalties can't stop those crazy players."

For a moment, Qin Chuan found himself in a difficult position.

He had finally encountered a BOSS. Was he really going to let it slip through his fingers?

While Qin Chuan quietly considered how to secure the loot rights, the other players had already erupted.

What was going on? They had been fighting the BOSS for ages and had finally worn away a sliver of its health. Everyone had a chance to touch the equipment, so it had been a win-win situation.

Why had such an absurd damage number suddenly appeared?

"Damn, there's a hack!"

"Did I see that right? That was over nine hundred damage, right? There wasn't a decimal point, was there?"

"976 damage, and it was a Weakness Attack. What kind of person is playing this game?"

"Fuck, I can't even break its defense. My total output is still zero. Can we even play this game?"

"Rakshasa Hall strongly protests!"

"Bro, where did you buy the hack? Is it reliable?"

"Who cares whether it's a hack? Find that guy first. We can't let him keep dealing damage, or the BOSS loot rights will have nothing to do with us."

"Exactly. Brothers, keep your eyes peeled. Attack any suspicious target on sight. We have to drive him out!"

The players chattered endlessly. Even as the Wild Rabbit BOSS devoured them one by one, it did not lessen their determination to find the mysterious person.

Some players even frantically hurled skills at the spot where Qin Chuan had appeared earlier, trying to kill him directly while he was stealthed.

Qin Chuan, hidden in the shadows, felt lingering fear.

[ ]

Good thing he could chain his stealth seamlessly. Otherwise, those crazy players would have beaten him to death.

And this only made Qin Chuan feel that his choice had been even wiser.

If he had followed Apocalypse's recommendation and chosen the Archer class, he could certainly have dealt more ranged damage, but he would never have obtained the loot rights.

Because the moment he approached the BOSS, countless players would rush over to attack him.

In that situation, unless he could shoot away more than half the BOSS's health with a single arrow, it would all be pointless.

As for killing all the other players...

The possibility was practically zero.

His attributes were high right now, but they had not yet created a decisive gap between him and the other players.

"This BOSS spawned too early. If it had appeared a little later and let me accumulate some Evolution Points to improve myself, I wouldn't be in such a passive position."

"Forget it. I should just wait patiently for Shadow Stealth's cooldown."

Qin Chuan thought to himself.

At the same time, the Dragon Soaring Team came panting back. After hearing what had happened, they could not help exchanging glances.

The assassin on the team said, "It was Night Roaming God."

Light Snow, the Divine Flame Priest, agreed. "At this stage, I can't think of a second player besides Night Roaming God who could deal nearly a thousand damage."

Dragon Soaring World sighed. "No wonder he wouldn't team up with us. Turns out we were holding him back."

The group sighed in amazement.

The Archer on the team raised a crucial question.

"Boss, Night Roaming God has made his move. Are we still fighting for this BOSS?"

The other teammates immediately understood what he meant.

"At this stage, we can't form a raid. We can only make a six-person party at most. Even with Light Snow, we can't deal more than half the decisive damage."

"What a pity that Newbie Villages are assigned randomly. Otherwise, if the people from our Dragon Soaring Dynasty were gathered together, we could definitely monopolize this BOSS."

"The other teams are in the same situation. Without Night Roaming God, at most everyone could compete based on luck."

"The problem is Night Roaming God. I observed him earlier. His attack frequency is around once every twenty seconds. At most, he'll deal enough decisive damage in eight minutes."

"In eight minutes, even if every player in the Newbie Village came over, their combined damage probably still wouldn't exceed Night Roaming God's."

Dragon Soaring World froze.

The excitement of finding the BOSS gradually faded, replaced by careful consideration.

He weighed the pros and cons.

While Dragon Soaring World pondered in silence, twenty or thirty people rushed over in a great swarm, shouting, "Guildmaster, we're here!"

The character names above their heads were strikingly uniform.

[Dragon Soaring · Goofball]

[Dragon Soaring · Night Raid Widow's Gate]

[Dragon Soaring · I Don't Eat Beef]

[Dragon Soaring...]

Although players could not establish guilds yet without a Guild Order, choosing character names in the same format was not difficult.

Seeing his subordinates arrive to support him, Dragon Soaring World was quite pleased.

But the earlier problem still remained.

Just as Dragon Soaring World was quietly thinking, Qin Chuan made his move again.

-976! (Weakness Attack)

The massive damage number rose, and the Wild Rabbit BOSS's Health Bar visibly dropped another bit.

The surrounding players widened their eyes, trying to find a suspicious target.

But they failed.

The instant Qin Chuan attacked, he returned to stealth and lay in wait once more for another opportunity.

Qin Chuan's second attack also made Dragon Soaring World completely resolve himself.

He called over his subordinates and gave them a few instructions, then led his men away from the Wild Rabbit BOSS.

The leaders of the other guilds were completely baffled.

What was going on? Dragon Soaring Dynasty was actually giving up such a perfect chance to make a name for itself by claiming the first BOSS kill?

That was not Dragon Soaring World's style.

Just as several guildmasters were about to probe for his intentions, they heard Dragon Soaring World announce loudly, "Night Roaming God, we of the Dragon Soaring Dynasty are giving up this BOSS."
