It's not closed, it's open?

Bai Fu's leveling strategy was crystal clear.

No matter how much popularity she could gain from players, the most important thing was that she had to survive until the first version update after the game's official launch to see if the game would adjust her trash stats based on her performance.

When survival was the goal, prioritizing Constitution was clearly more cost-effective than prioritizing other attributes.

Anyone who plays League of Legends knows that during team fights, the enemy team usually focuses fire on the AD carry or mid laner. Unless absolutely necessary, who would want to use all their skills on a tank like a Golem whose defenses and health were already maxed out?

Not all Golems liked to wear a coral reef skin, dance, and shout "You will lose!" to attract aggro.

Bai Fu prioritizing Constitution wasn't the only reason.

Whether before or after her transmigration, she had never systematically learned any combat techniques.

This meant that even if she prioritized Strength, she could still be easily defeated in real combat due to actions like "fatal misses."

She had to learn corresponding Body Cultivation skills, figure out the best skill combos, and adapt to the opponent's attack rhythm to unleash her full potential.

If Bai Fu were a player, she would definitely go for that build.

Skills like "Great Desolation Prison Finger" or "Ultra Instinct" – just look cool, whether they hit or not was another matter. Who doesn't have a chuunibyo fantasy?

But the current Bai Fu was an NPC who couldn't respawn, so she chose a simpler, more brutal playstyle.

It was like playing a Souls-like game with a heavy warrior build.

Max HP, max poise, max resistances, max stamina, max potions, then wear the heaviest armor and wield the heaviest shield.

Dodging?

Not needed.

Combos?

Not needed.

Just cast a prayer, use the unresisted combat techniques learned online, and engage the enemy with a "you hit yours, I hit mine" approach, seeing whose health bar would last longer!

Having made up her mind, Bai Fu quickly returned home. She stuffed a few boards into her clothes, changed into a thick outfit, and headed straight for Brother Dabiao's hideout.

At 18:49 in the evening, the sun sank below the horizon.

On a path illuminated by faint moonlight, Martin cursed as he kicked a wall that had long since collapsed.

"Are those Outsiders like locusts? They didn't even leave me a single bottle cap."

He had just come out of Brother Dabiao's hideout.

Good heavens, the place was so empty that even rats would cry!

Actually, he hadn't expected Bai Fu to complete the mission from the start. His plan was to deduct a hefty sum from Bai Fu's salary after she failed.

Who would have thought that those Outsiders would suddenly interfere and kill Brother Dabiao?

Now, the mission couldn't proceed, and he had no excuse to deduct Bai Fu's salary.

"Damn it, these out-of-town gangs are so rude!"

Martin was furious.

His hobbies were very pure.

Most people might think of Bai Fu's legs when they saw her, but he was different. He just wanted Bai Fu to help him make money or get money from her.

The thought of not being able to deduct her salary made him feel as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

He refused to believe that he couldn't deduct her salary.

Weren't the Outsiders causing trouble lately? He would make Bai Fu catch a few of them. If she had to risk her life to do it, so be it. If she dared to refuse, he would dock her pay!

Thinking this, Martin felt much better.

He raised his foot, about to leave, when he noticed a person wrapped up tightly, revealing only their eyes, blocking his path directly ahead.

"Holy crap, blocking my way? Does the great Martin of the Abandoned Cooling Plant tolerate this?"

Martin immediately launched into a string of insults.

"What stray dog are you, daring to block my path? Do you know whose territory this is? Get lost, or I'll stab you to death!"

The disguised Bai Fu remained unmoved.

Just in case, she used [Spiritual Vision] on Martin again.

[Name]: Javier Martin (Elite)
[Template]: Normal
[Main Class]: Normal Boxer Lv6
[Sub Class]: None
[HP]: 80/80
[Attributes]: Strength 8, Agility 8, Constitution 8, Intelligence 3, Spirit 4, Inspiration 2
[Skills]: Fatal Strike Lv3, Sweeping Leg Lv1

[Talent]: None

[Affection]: Contempt (-6)

[Danger Level]: Blue

Very average main attributes. In gaming terms, Martin played a "bucket build."

Playing a bucket build is fine in single-player games. If you find leveling troublesome, you can always ask Senior Feng Ling Yue Ying or Ancestor CE to step in and max out all attributes, becoming a super bucket with no weaknesses.

But in an online game, allocating points like this is a bit unwise.

Bai Fu closed Martin's status panel with relief.

Blue meant Martin's strength was theoretically on par with hers, but that was just theory. Real combat wasn't a game of comparing numbers.

"Outsiders asked me to give you a message," Bai Fu said in a hoarse voice.

"Outsiders?" Martin was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "You're Bai Fu, don't think I won't recognize you just because you're covering your face and talking in a disguised voice!"

Bai Fu: "..."

You can recognize me even with that?

Forget it. Since I've been exposed, there's no need to pretend anymore.

She pulled off her hood. "Martin, I'll fuck your mom! How dare you threaten me with An Ya."

"I thought you wouldn't resist. So you were waiting here," Martin sneered, clenching his fist. "Interesting. I hope you can entertain me."

Ambushed, Martin was remarkably calm. Brother Dabiao could knock Bai Fu out with one punch. His strength was slightly inferior to Brother Dabiao's, so he might not knock Bai Fu out with one punch, but two should do it, right?

A nobody dared to cause trouble for him, the supervisor. This was a complete reversal!

He walked towards Bai Fu, laughing heartily.

The moment they were in range, his sandbag-sized fist shot towards Bai Fu like a cannonball. The powerful gust of wind even blew Bai Fu's hair.

Waist and horse united, Strength erupted, [Fatal Strike Lv3] activated beyond its limits.

Bang!

The punch landed squarely on Bai Fu's stomach.

Critical Hit!

"-4!"

A bright red damage number floated above Bai Fu's head.

Bai Fu's body swayed slightly but quickly stabilized.

What? He actually dealt 4 damage?

Bai Fu was shocked.

Martin was dumbfounded.

He felt like he had hit a steel plate. Not only did he fail to knock Bai Fu down, but he also ended up swelling his own hand.

Are you fucking cheating?

Martin refused to believe it and unleashed a barrage of relentless punches on Bai Fu.

"-1", "-1", "-3", "-1"...

Bai Fu dodged left and right. Due to her low Agility, she only perfectly avoided about half the attacks. Her shoulders, joints, and other areas took quite a few punches. Martin continued until his whole body ached and his vision blurred before stopping. He must have beaten Bai Fu into Bai Fu-chan by now, right?

At first, Bai Fu was a little worried. She thought her Constitution was wasted.

But as Martin's punching speed slowed and the damage dealt became lower, until he couldn't even deal 1 damage, she finally felt completely at ease.

See, this is a Void build without Constitution!

Bai Fu checked her health.

[153/180]

It was quite safe.

"Alright, now it's my turn to play."

Bai Fu grabbed her big stick and unleashed an uppercut spinning backhand towards Martin's crotch.

The ultimate move of Unrestricted Combat Art, [Fatal Chicken Strike], activated.

Although Martin realized the danger, due to muscle soreness and lung capacity limitations, he was completely unable to dodge.

What the hell, what kind of monster is this? She's completely fine after taking so many punches?

He could only watch in despair as the big stick got closer and closer.

Smack!

"-16!"

Equally bright red numbers, equally a critical hit.

An intense pain shot straight from below to the top of his skull. The moment he was hit, Martin was completely afflicted with the [Stiffness] status. He opened his mouth to scream, but his throat and mouth instantly [Hardened], leaving him only able to emit monotonous, low "oh oh" sounds. He couldn't call out, nor could he ask for help.

Bai Fu didn't hold back, swinging her club for a series of relentless blows.

"-13", "-11", "-8"

Crack! The club shattered, but Martin's health was already down to a mere 32 points.

His eyes were filled with terror and pain. With his last shred of consciousness, he rolled, trying to escape.

Bai Fu didn't say a word, stepping forward and kicking him. The thick sole of her boot slammed down hard on Martin's face.

Crack.

His nose caved in, and a large splash of blood erupted from the back of his head.

When Bai Fu lifted her boot, Martin was completely silent.

[You have killed Javier Martin, contribution 100%, gained 640 experience points after correction based on level difference]

Bai Fu removed her blood-stained gloves and stuffed them into her pocket.

"This is what happens when you don't train your groin defense, kid!"

At this moment, Bai Fu's mood was like drinking a bottle of ice-cold cola on a hot summer day. One word described it:

Awesome!
