After seeing clearly what poison he had been afflicted with, Wang Xian breathed a sigh of relief. At most, it would only cost him 150 HP.
Smack!
Wang Xian raised his iron shovel and fiercely dealt the Five-Venom Beast's snake head another heavy strike.
-38
Another red damage number appeared.
At the same time, an icon resembling a mosquito coil appeared in the Five-Venom Beast's status bar.
The moment Wang Xian saw it, he was delighted. The Five-Venom Beast had been knocked out by his shovel and entered a stunned state.
This was also one of the differences between Datafied Blue Star and online games.
In online games, one needed the corresponding skill to put an enemy into a stunned state.
Datafied Blue Star was different. Besides skills, external force could also put enemies into a stunned state, just like the Five-Venom Beast BOSS before him.
Besides stuns caused by external force, there were similar externally inflicted conditions such as blindness, suffocation, and so on.
However, a condition like stun had a prerequisite: one had to break through the target's defense. If one could not even penetrate its defense, how could one possibly stun it?
The Five-Venom Beast BOSS had already fallen into a stunned state. How could Wang Xian possibly let such a good opportunity go? Holding his iron shovel, he wildly struck the Five-Venom Beast BOSS's snake head.
-38
Three consecutive red numbers appeared above the Five-Venom Beast BOSS, reducing its HP to 206.
It was worth mentioning that wild monsters below level 30, including BOSSES, would not recover HP after entering combat unless they possessed recovery-type skills.
Also, every BOSS had a kind of "protection mechanism."
This "protection mechanism" meant that after a BOSS recovered from certain special negative conditions, it would not enter that same negative condition again for a period of time.
Therefore, it was fundamentally impossible to use external force to keep a BOSS permanently stunned and kill it without taking damage.
"Hiss—hiss—hiss—"
The Five-Venom Beast BOSS recovered from its stunned state, letting out harsh hisses filled with Endless fury.
Wang Xian ignored it and gave the Five-Venom Beast BOSS another shovel strike.
-19
Clearly, this shovel strike had not hit the Five-Venom Beast BOSS's snake head.
And so, Wang Xian kept striking the Five-Venom Beast BOSS with his shovel after shovel, while the Five-Venom Beast BOSS could do nothing but hiss furiously.
It could not be helped. The Five-Venom Beast BOSS before him had an extremely simple means of attack: besides pouncing, it only had its scorpion-tail attack.
When facing the Five-Venom Beast's pounces, Wang Xian only had to forget about looking dignified and roll like a donkey to dodge them.
As for the scorpion-tail attack, it was simply too fast to evade. He could only endure it head-on.
Fortunately, Wang Xian's HP was high enough. After being poisoned by the scorpion tail once more, he successfully killed the Five-Venom Beast BOSS.
The entire process looked easy, but one should not forget that Wang Xian had tricked the Five-Venom Beast BOSS first, reducing its HP from 2,000 to 377.
Even so, Wang Xian only had 50 HP left. If the Five-Venom Beast BOSS had stung him with its scorpion tail one more time, he would have been the one collapsing.
Moreover, once Wang Xian fell, the Five-Venom Beast BOSS would leave combat and slowly begin recovering HP.
Even worse, by then, the Five-Venom Beast BOSS would have developed resistance to DDVP. It would have been impossible to trick it again.
"Ding! You have killed the level 5 BOSS Five-Venom Beast and gained 1,000 EXP." "Ding! You have completed the first BOSS kill and received a special reward: Title—BOSS Nemesis." "Ding! You have leveled up. Your attributes have increased, and you have received 5 free attribute points." "Ding! You have reached level 6 and received 6 free attribute points from the Growth talent."
A series of System Prompts rang in Wang Xian's ears.
BOSS Nemesis?
In his previous life, the reward for being the first to kill a BOSS had always been a mystery. The person who received it had never revealed what that reward actually was.
In this life, Wang Xian had obtained the reward for the first BOSS kill. He wanted to see exactly what it was.
Title: BOSS Nemesis (Unique) Attributes: 1. Soul Drain. 2. Luck. 3. Evolution. Soul Drain: After killing a wild BOSS, randomly gain 0–1 free attribute points. Luck: After killing a wild BOSS, the chance of obtaining items increases by 1%. Evolution: After killing a wild BOSS, gain 1 Evolution Point. When Evolution Points reach 100, the title's effects will improve.
Good heavens!
The attributes of this title were a little too powerful!
At the same time, Wang Xian finally understood why there had been rumors that the person who obtained the first BOSS kill reward in his previous life had been obsessed with killing all kinds of wild BOSSES. He never spared a wild BOSS of any level, and he would even often go to low-level monster zones to steal wild BOSSES from low-level players.
So it was all because of the title BOSS Nemesis!
Forget that guy—anyone who obtained this title would become obsessed with killing all kinds of wild BOSSES.
"Ding! World Announcement: Dragon Kingdom player 'Immortal King' has completed the first BOSS kill and received a special reward!" "Ding! World Announcement: Dragon Kingdom player 'Immortal King' has completed the first BOSS kill and received a special reward!" "Ding! World Announcement: Dragon Kingdom player 'Immortal King' has completed the first BOSS kill and received a special reward!"
Three deafening voices suddenly rang out above the heavens.
That was the sound of a World Announcement.
A World Announcement no longer sounded directly in one's ears. Instead, it was broadcast across the entirety of Blue Star like this.
When Wang Xian heard it, his expression froze. Then he slapped his forehead with his right hand. How had he forgotten about this?
The first person to kill a BOSS after Blue Star's Datafication would trigger a World Announcement!
It seemed that there was no need to wait for players to reach level 10 and unlock the Leaderboard. Blue Star would probably soon be flooded by public debate, and all kinds of unrest might even erupt.
Thinking of the turmoil after the Leaderboard had opened in his previous life, Wang Xian sighed softly.
This was not something he could stop.
"Why am I thinking about all this? I should see what surprises the first BOSS killed in this world will bring me!"
Datafied Blue Star was like an online game. Killing wild monsters and BOSSES could cause all kinds of items to drop, such as equipment, coins, Skill Books, and so on.
The earthworms and rats Wang Xian had killed with his father earlier had not dropped any equipment because their levels were too low.
Wild monsters below level 10 would not drop any items.
BOSSES were different!
A BOSS of any level would drop items upon being killed.
A few unrelated words.
First.
National Day coincided with Mid-Autumn Festival. This only happened once every nineteen years, so I wish everyone a happy holiday.
Second.
Since this book has just begun and I cannot yet guarantee whether it will be contracted, I can only update once a day for now. But once it is contracted, I will immediately begin posting extra chapters.
Lastly.
Please recommend and invest.
The more recommendations and investors there are, the greater the chance of getting contracted.
Thank you, everyone.
Respectfully, the author.
