The More You Resist, The More Excited I Get! (An extra chapter as an apology)

With a special ability of her own, Eileen had actually observed Cheng Tian's entire battle in the bar and his confrontation with Batman.

For a complete newcomer who had just passed the Novice Trial to be able to fight over a dozen enemies in an E+ difficulty mission with almost no damage taken, and even to retreat almost unscathed from a confrontation with the absolute protagonist of the current instance, "Batman," was normally an impossible feat.

But if the other party was truly someone who could climb out of the novice Shit Pit like Demon World Village with just a Starter Account, then it could indeed be explained.

This kid must have extremely powerful innate talent, incredibly strong psychological fortitude, at least adequate physical capabilities, and a considerable amount of luck to go with it. None of these could be lacking.

How to put it, Cheng Tian's performance so far had given Eileen a sense of frustration, like "my whole life has been wasted," but soon her dull eyes were filled with light.

If he was already this strong right after breaking through the Novice Trial, then "promising for the future" was an understatement. Her target completion rate would likely increase significantly!

For a moment, Cheng Tian even felt a bit scrutinized.

"Let's team up! I'll pay! If tank gear drops, you get priority!"

The extremely enthusiastic Female Archer extended a party invitation to the Scallop Warrior.

In the Chosen Space, players naturally had different roles based on their talents, chosen skills, and equipment.

These role tendencies became increasingly apparent as the instance difficulty increased and the situation within the instance became more complex.

Some exceptionally talented individuals could solo some low-difficulty instances early on, but the importance of teamwork became more obvious later on.

Some players could unleash powerful damage through delayed charge-ups by having teammates tank and draw aggro, but their HP was likely pitifully low.

Similarly, players with strong tanking capabilities usually weren't good at Ranged Attack. If they were kited by ranged attacks, they had almost no effective counter-attack methods.

Eileen was a typical ranged shooter whose role leaned heavily towards ranged combat and lightly towards melee.

As mentioned before, players themselves were the biggest Variable in an instance. So, even for the same Bounty Mission, don't expect everyone to be solely focused on the mission objective; everyone had different thoughts and goals.

Eileen had entered the instance earlier than Cheng Tian. She was a Veteran Player who had completely shed her novice status and whose equipment and skills were well-matched to her talents.

Bounty Missions would restrict weaker players with mismatched strength or insufficient conditions, but they never restricted expert players from entering.

Even if you were a level 100 max-level character entering a level 1 Novice Instance, no one would stop you. However, each player had a fixed amount of time they could stay in the Chosen Space during the fixed trial period each month. Therefore, expert players rarely went to low-level instances to Smurf, whether Smurfing NPCs or Smurfing Players.

Some players couldn't even earn as much from clearing four or five low-level instances as they could from one instance that matched their abilities and offered both risk and reward. Considering the time cost and energy expenditure, the choice of which mission to undertake was clear.

However, it must be said that the entry rules for this type of Bounty Mission would inevitably lead to situations where veterans lead newcomers or veterans target newcomers. But the Chosen Space had other rules to restrict this, which would be discussed later.

Eileen's appearance in the E+ difficulty Batman instance was highly suspicious of Smurfing. The Bounty Mission itself was just a pretext for entering; her true objective was to attack the Main Quest BOSS there.

Just yesterday, she had obtained the coordinates for Moth Cave through an enemy guild and had ambushed the Assassin Moth alone as it was returning to its cave.

Naturally, she failed, but it had given the Assassin Moth a serious scare, and it was probably still recovering.

Because Eileen's arrow had actually pierced the Assassin Moth's Moth Car head-on, nearly pinning the Assassin Moth to its seat!

Remembering that emerald green magic arrow, it was only a finger's width away from Assassin Moth's ears. One could only imagine how furious and terrified the Moth Gang leader was when he snapped back to reality.

After all, Assassin Moth, a fan of the twisted Batmobile, had a vehicle built to the Batmobile's exact specifications. Its bulletproof rating was maxed out, and it even had external armor for emergency deployment. It was said that aside from high-yield bombs and Joker's custom long-barreled revolver, there was almost no way to harm Assassin Moth inside the vehicle.

Yet, in the very place he took the most pride in, Assassin Moth had flipped his vehicle and nearly had his mind blown.

This wasn't just about becoming One-Ear; it was about becoming Ken X D!

From this perspective, it made sense that a customer like Cheng Tian, who followed the rules and paid his dues, would still be targeted. Assassin Moth was clearly in a rage, the kind where he'd kick a passing dog, let alone Cheng Tian, who was indeed part of an opposing force.

With the rare opportunity for a long-range sniper kill gone, Eileen chose to flee on the spot.

As a shooter class focusing on agility and spirit, Eileen possessed high attack power, evasion, and perception, but inevitably suffered from weak strength and health.

Calling her a glass cannon might be an exaggeration. After all, Chosen Space wasn't like those trashy isekai anime. The muscle and strength required for a real archer to draw a bow were not much less than that of an ordinary warrior. If Eileen took off her clothes, one could see her well-toned physique.

But at least at this stage, she couldn't take as much punishment as the inexperienced and severely unbalanced Cheng Tian... which was, of course, the main reason she let out that sigh of "living on borrowed time."

The moment the assassination failed, the Moth Cave was illuminated by lights. The Moth Gang's elite combat unit, "Mobile Moth," was deployed in waves, initiating a carpet search.

Eileen, knowing her health was weak, had naturally already made her escape. She had no desire to face the Moth Gang's full barrage of firepower.

In fact, Eileen had already completed her bounty mission ahead of time. More file data would only increase the bounty reward slightly. Assassin Moth was just one of her targets; if the opponent proved too difficult, she would have decisively abandoned the mission.

However, she then used her own abilities to observe the enemy's reaction.

From the assassination attempt yesterday to the present, Assassin Moth hadn't taken off his Moth Battle Suit. He had also openly mobilized his subordinates to conduct a large-scale search, even deliberately provoking other gangs in the same city.

One couldn't help but wonder if this counted as being enraged and issuing a threat.

Yet, facing Assassin Moth, who was extremely angry and filled with strong resistance, a powerful desire surged beneath Eileen's seemingly calm face—

The urge to pull the arrogant Assassin Moth down from the sky and trample him underfoot!

As per the title, as an apology, an extra chapter is added (I'm surprised I even have drafts...).
