Even a tiger with both hind legs broken still has sharp fangs.

If you get close, the tiger will become fierce and can launch its most ferocious attack by pushing off the ground with its two front paws.

Therefore, the best approach is to stand at a distance.

His left hand was in his pocket, and he held a gun in his right.

If you miss, try again.

After emptying one magazine, reload with another.

Once you're certain the tiger is absolutely dead, go up and check again.

The method Yang Shan is using now is actually quite similar.

However, he cannot put his hands in his pockets.

He rubbed thunder with his left hand and lit fire with his right.

I don't have time to free my hands.

Su Yitang stood next to Yang Shan.

Whenever Yang Shan Purple Lightning and Azure Fire to trigger Overload, Su Yitang will activate Beast Wind two seconds later to disperse the aftershocks as quickly as possible.

The energy in the aftershocks is too unstable, which is one of the limitations that prevents Yang Shan from using Overload continuously.

But with Su Yitang, these restrictions have undoubtedly been relaxed far too much.

Yang Shan can reduce the interval between two Overload from more than ten seconds to about four seconds.

Although the damage from Overload is far less than that of "Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills", Fang Sheng is only at the end of his rope.

My eggs are all broken, I can't even walk straight without having cramps, I can only stay in one place and wait to die.

Fang Sheng had considered running away.

But using both legs is definitely not an option.

Fang Sheng barely managed to activate his Dou Qi Light Wings, attempting to fly away.

However, as soon as Fang Sheng unleashed his Dou Qi Transformation Wings, Su Yitang would unleash her full power to unleash the Beast Wind, interfering with Fang Sheng's flight.

Yang Shan would also activate the "Thunder Guiding Lock" immediately.

With Overload every four seconds, Fang Sheng was truly blown to pieces.

The impact of the critical Overload is very large.

This meant that Fang Sheng's entire body had to withstand the attack.

Everything else is fine, but his groin is still bleeding! How can it withstand even the slightest bit of abuse?

"Ah! To die at the hands of you two bastards, I am not reconciled, not reconciled at all!"

[Ding! Player has defeated Fang Sheng (Purple Word Seal; Three-Star Dou Wang; Heavily Injured State), with a kill contribution rate of 65%. Calculating the Level-Surpassing Bonus, the player has gained 32,500 experience points.]

Given Yang Shan's current level of Three-Star Dou Ling, the experience bonus from killing Three-Star Dou Wang should be close to 100%.

Unfortunately, Fang Sheng was Heavily Injured State, which would significantly reduce his base experience points.

Otherwise, even a 65% contribution rate would definitely be enough for Yang Shan to be promoted to one star.

However, Fang Sheng's experience points are just a bonus! Even Fang Sheng's loot is secondary.

The most crucial items are Su Yitang's last piece of parchment and the mission points for the Bloodshed Hall.

Yang Shan breathed a sigh of relief:

"Sigh, it's finally over. Dou Wang are really hard to kill."

Su Yitang turned her head to look at Yang Shan, blinking her eyes:

"Boss."

Yang Shan: "Hmm?"

Su Yitang: "You're so strong!"

Yang Shan: "Nonsense, do you think the title of the number one player in Battle Through the Heavens the Heavens is just for show?"

Su Yitang's words were not meant to flatter Yang Shan; Su Yitang genuinely believed that Yang Shan was very strong.

Back when Su Yitang was active in the Black-Corner Region, she thought she was quite strong.

But this time, when Su Yitang attacked Fang Sheng, what she saw in Yang Shan was not just his strength in terms of numbers.

Rather, it's Yang Shan's understanding of how to play the game.

From luring the monster, to drugging it, then impersonating Eight Gates deacon, pretending to be a simpleton, then launching a sneak attack, then drugging it again, and finally the outrageous continuous bombardment.

Yang Shan's plan was a series of interconnected steps.

If even a few steps were missing, or if one or two steps went wrong, the operation to assassinate Fang Sheng would have failed.

Putting everything else aside, Fang Sheng used his Dou Qi Transformation Wings to escape, leaving the two Dou Ling on the ground, helpless.

Su Yitang really wanted to know if Yang Shan's brain shape was different from that of ordinary people.

Since the launch of Battle Through the Heavens the Heavens, it has only been three months in real time.

How could a player have figured out the gameplay to this extent?

They can come up with all sorts of underhanded tricks at will.

Was he the sixth son in his past life? Yang Shan drew a line in front of him with his finger, then tossed the parchment to Su Yitang.

Su Yitang smiled sweetly, "Thank you, boss!"

Yang Shan: "It's alright, it's nothing. Let's talk about the contract on the last piece of parchment I have."

Su Yitang's smile froze on the spot, "Boss?"

Yang Shan: "Although you look good when you deliberately act cute, you should know that I didn't even blink when I was chopping Nalan Yanran."

Su Yitang had naturally watched the video of Yang Shan's fight with Nalan Yanran in Cloud Frost City, and had even slowed down the video to study Yang Shan's sword techniques.

That video didn't just show the two fighting.

The pre-match exchange is also shown in the video.

Yang Shan's famous line, "What's it to me?", once led many players to label Yang Shan as a "straight man with a steely personality."

After getting to know Yang Shan, Su Yitang wasn't sure if he was straight or not, but Yang Shan was definitely not someone who would be easily seduced by beauty.

The reason Yang Shan would give away the Aura Concealing Pill for free was mainly because Yang Shan was generous and treated his employees well.

Su Yitang smiled and said, "Boss, we can talk about the contract later. Why don't we check the drops first?"

According to the rules that Yang Shan had set up in the company, although Su Yitang was asking Yang Shan for help, she also indirectly provided information about a Dou Wang NPC.

Therefore, Su Yitang has a drop allocation quota for this event.

Yang Shan nodded:

"Yes, that's right. Please wait a moment."

Yang Shan pulled up a calculator. "The parchment is your core demand, so it won't be included in the calculation. Based on your kill contribution rate, it's 35%, minus the 10% share for contracted employees, and then the cost of pills is spread out."

The more Su Yitang listened, the more something seemed off.

If you keep deducting like this, how much residue will be left?

After calculating for a while, Yang Shan said:

"19.5%, since you're a new employee, I'll round it down to 19%."

"Wait! Wait!"

Su Yitang stamped her feet in frustration. "Boss, you can't apply it like this! You're bullying a lowly employee!"

Yang Shan deliberately reported it this way, simply wanting to see Su Yitang beg him.

Being pleaded with by a beautiful woman is usually a wonderful thing.

"Alright, it'll be 20% then. You don't have any objections, right?"

Su Yitang shook her head like a rattle drum:

"No, no, the boss decides!"

Yang Shan: "Let's go, let's see what's fallen."

Yang Shan saw quite a few good items in Fang Sheng's loot selection list, including some top-tier items that could sell for five or six hundred thousand on the Auction House.

I wonder what kind of things might fall out.

Fang Sheng's corpse has been refreshed; a plastic head stands on the pile of Spirit Stone.

As expected of Dou Wang expert, the Spirit Stone dropped must be worth at least fifty or sixty thousand!

Yang Shan: "Keep the Spirit Stone."

Su Yitang: "Really? Really? Thank you for the treat, boss!"

Yang Shan: "According to the ratio, 80% will be converted to RMB and deposited into my account."

Su Yitang was a little embarrassed. "Okay, boss."

Su Yitang seems to be a little money-grubber, but she is still quite sensible.

Besides, who doesn't like money? Who would refuse an opportunity to earn more money? But as long as Yang Shan asks, things will definitely go exactly as planned.

Su Yitang quickly transferred the money to Yang Shan's account.

The total is 7,429.5 yuan.

Yang Shan himself actually used a calculator to do the calculations.

Su Yitang took an extra seven and a half cents, which definitely cannot be considered as her taking a kickback.

He's a good employee! After Yang Shan removed the plastic head, only two objects remained on the ground.

A purple, Hundred Refinements Grade Storage Ring.

There's also a secret manual.

"Black Water Skill": Mystic Rank Middle-Level cultivation technique, Purple Word Seal.

What a pity.

The best loot that Fang Sheng drops should be those gauntlets.

Purple Word Seal, top grade.

However, having a cultivation method is already quite good.

Mystic Rank Middle-Level -Purple Word Seal, and in the Jia Ma Empire, it's only one level lower than the inherited techniques of the three major families.

Even though some players have already joined the three major clans, unless they have some special opportunity, it's unknown how many more tasks they would have to complete to accumulate experience to obtain this level of cultivation technique.

Moreover, that Purple Word Seal, Hundred Refinements Grade Storage Ring is a rare find.

The two items together should fetch around 700,000 to 800,000, which shouldn't be a problem.

Su Yitang asked cautiously, "Boss, how much do you plan to sell the parchment for?"

Yang Shan: "100,000, plus 10% of the profit from your parchment opportunity."

"Huh?"

Su Yitang thought Yang Shan would ask for a higher price.

After all, Su Yitang hasn't revealed to Yang Shan what the secret behind the parchment is yet.

Yang Shan could even have Su Yitang reveal the opportunity first, and then wait for a better price.

Yang Shan directly tossed the last piece of parchment from his Storage Ring to Su Yitang:

"I've sent you the contract. After the goods are sold, I'll deduct 100,000 yuan, and the rest will be transferred to your account."

Su Yitang finally understood why Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng both spoke highly of their boss, Yang Shan.

There's a saying that goes:

The harder the employees work, the more Bentley the boss will get.

Unscrupulous capitalists like to make their employees create 30,000 yuan of value for a salary of 3,000 yuan.

But Yang Shan treated these employees more like small shareholders in the company.

Although they don't hold many shares.

But as long as we work together to make the company better and better, then these employees will definitely get a good share!

This distribution of profits finally put Su Yitang at ease.

This also confirmed for Su Yitang that she had indeed joined a good company.

Yang Shan: "As for the parchment, if you can handle it yourself, then handle it yourself. If you need my help..."

Su Yitang smiled sweetly, "Boss, I know, that's a different price."

Yang Shan: "Did you step on the gas?"

Su Yitang: "Huh? I never speed!"

After resting for a while, the two immediately split into two groups.

Su Yitang needs to deal with the parchment opportunity immediately, which will probably take a long time.

Yang Shan, on the other hand, returned to Black Seal City.

Inside the old pawn shop, Luo Xie was browsing through books at the counter.

The book cover describes the history of the Black-Corner Region.

But what it actually describes is the operational status of the Black Seal City branch during this period.

Luo Xie looked up. "Hmm? Cheng E, why are you back so soon?"

Luo Xie thought Yang Shan had broken through again!

But he probed Yang Shan's aura.

It's still Three-Star Dou Ling.

fine.

If he really breaks through again after just one day, Luo Xie will probably start to wonder if he wasted all those years of his life.

Even a genius can make breakthroughs every day.

Luo Xie had just calmed down when he saw a head placed on the table.
