The More You Resist, the More Excited I Get! (Bonus Chapter to Express My Apologies)

Thanks to a special ability of her own, Erin had actually observed Cheng Tian's fight in the bar and his confrontation with Batman the entire time.

For a pure newbie who had just passed the novice trial to be able to fight more than a dozen enemies almost unscathed in an E+ difficulty mission, and even retreat almost unscathed from a confrontation with the absolute protagonist "Batman" in the current instance, was almost impossible under normal circumstances.

But if the other party was really the kind of person who could crawl out of a newbie shithole like Demon Village with just a starter account, then it could indeed be explained.

This kid must have a very powerful initial talent, very strong psychological qualities, at least decent physical fitness, and a considerable amount of luck. All of these are indispensable.

How to put it, Cheng Tian's performance so far had made Erin feel a sense of frustration, as if she had "lived her whole life in vain," but soon her listless eyes filled with light.

He's already so powerful after just breaking through the novice trial, it's beyond just saying he has a promising future. My target completion rate will probably increase significantly!

For a moment, Cheng felt like he was being stared at.

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

The incredibly enthusiastic female archer extended a team invitation to the Scallop Warrior.

In the Chosen Evolution Space, players naturally have tendencies in their roles based on their talents, chosen skills, and the equipment they use.

And these role tendencies become more and more obvious as the difficulty of the instances increases and the instance situations become more complex.

Some exceptionally talented people can complete solo runs in the early, low-difficulty instances, but the importance of the team becomes more and more obvious as you go further.

Some players can unleash powerful damage by delaying and charging up while their teammates tank and draw aggro in front, but their own HP is likely pitifully low.

Similarly, players with strong tankiness are usually not good at ranged attacks, and if they are kited by ranged snipers, they have almost no effective means of retaliation.

Erin is a typical ranged shooter with a heavy focus on ranged combat and a light focus on melee combat.

As mentioned before, players themselves are the biggest variable in an instance, so even with the same bounty mission, don't expect everyone to focus solely on the mission. Everyone has different ideas and goals.

Erin was the one who entered the instance earlier than Cheng Tian, and she was the kind of veteran player who had completely shed her newbie status and whose equipment and skills were well-matched to her talents.

Bounty missions limit weak players with mismatched strength through forms such as strength and condition thresholds, but they never restrict the entry of expert players.

Even if you're a level 100 max-level account entering a level 1 newbie instance, no one will stop you, but the amount of time each player can stay in the space during the fixed trial period each month is fixed, so expert players rarely go back to low-level instances to smurf, whether it's smurfing NPCs or smurfing players.

Some players can't even earn as much by grinding four or five low-level instances as they can in one instance that matches their abilities and has both risks and rewards. From the perspective of time cost and energy consumption, it's obvious which type of mission to do.

However, this bounty mission entry rule will inevitably lead to situations where veterans carry newbies or veterans snipe newbies, but the Chosen Evolution Space actually has other rules to limit this, which we will discuss later.

Erin's appearance in the E+ difficulty Batman instance actually had serious smurfing suspicions. The bounty mission itself was just an excuse to enter the instance. Taking advantage of the opportunity to attack the main quest BOSS here was her real purpose.

Just yesterday, she obtained the coordinates of Moth Hole through a rival gang, and ambushed Killer Moth, who was returning to the Moth Hole, alone nearby.

The result, of course, was a failure, but it scared the Killer Moth into a cold sweat. He probably hasn't recovered yet.

Because Erin's arrow actually pierced through the Killer Moth's Mothmobile head-on, almost pinning the Killer Moth to the seat!

I remember that the emerald green magic arrow was only a finger's width away from Killer Moth's ear. One can imagine how angry and frightened the Moth Gang leader was when he came to his senses.

You must know that Killer Moth, as a twisted Batman fan, completely imitated the Batmobile standard to build his car. The bulletproof coefficient is maxed out, and there is also an external armor that can be activated in an emergency. It can be said that apart from high-yield bombs and the Joker's special long-barreled revolver, it is almost impossible to harm the Killer Moth in the car.

As a result, Killer Moth crashed in his most proud area, and almost had his brains blown out.

This wasn't just a matter of becoming One-Ear, but a matter of becoming KenXdy!

From this point of view, it is reasonable that customers like Cheng Tian, who follow the rules and are willing to pay, are still targeted. Killer Moth is in a rage, to the point where he would kick any dog that passed by, let alone Cheng Tian, who is indeed an enemy force.

Erin chose to run away on the spot after the rare opportunity for a ranged assassination failed.

As a shooter focused on agility and spirit, Erin, who has high attack power, high evasion, and high perception, inevitably has weaknesses in strength and HP.

It might be an exaggeration to call her a glass cannon, after all, the Chosen Evolution Space is not those other-world toilet paper anime. The muscles and strength required by a real archer when drawing a bow are actually not much less than those of an ordinary warrior. If Erin took off her clothes, you would see her full of healthy muscles.

But at least at this stage, she is not as resistant to beatings as Cheng, who is just starting out and has extremely serious weaknesses... This is of course also the main reason why she feels like she has "lived her life in vain."

And at the moment of the failed assassination, the Moth Hole was brightly lit, and the "Mobile Moths," the Moth Gang's exclusive advanced combat unit, were dispatched in batches and began a carpet search.

Knowing that her HP was weak, Erin had naturally already fled. She didn't want to face the Moth Gang, whose barrage firepower was already maxed out.

In fact, Erin's bounty mission had already been completed in advance. More file information would only increase the bounty mission rewards. Killer Moth was actually just one of her targets. If the other party was too difficult to deal with, she would give up decisively.

But afterwards, she was able to observe the other party making such a reaction through her own abilities.

From the time he was assassinated yesterday until now, Killer Moth hasn't taken off his Mothsuit, and at the same time, he has blatantly mobilized his subordinates to start a wide-ranging search, and even deliberately went to make trouble for other gangs in the same city.

I don't know if this counts as a tantrum and deterrence.

However, facing Killer Moth, who was extremely angry and had a strong sense of resistance, a very strong desire welled up from under Erin's seemingly calm face——

The impulse to pull the lofty Killer Moth down from the sky and trample him under her feet!

As the title says, to express my apology, here's an extra chapter (I'm surprised I have a draft...)
