The Local Tyrant Boss's VIP Proxy Service

Although Wang Zhen fought with all his might, the aftermath of unleashing two massive fireworks inevitably left him in a state of post-climax lethargy. Yet, the fading brilliance of the explosions still filled him with immense satisfaction. Thus, once he had rested and recovered his strength, he set out once again on his fishing trip, using himself as bait.

However, for every person who rejoices, there is another who sorrows!

Life is just that screwed up; after you have struggled to overcome a dire situation, there is a high probability you will encounter an even worse one. Only in the rarest of cases does fortune follow misfortune, or do you survive a catastrophe to find luck waiting on the other side.

Relying on his overpowered cheat, Wang Zhen successfully transitioned into the extraordinary profession of State Alchemist. By exploiting the Main God's VIP service—which provided instant full-body restoration—he was able to glitch the system, repeatedly milking the "Gate of Truth" to forge combat power far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Furthermore, Wang Zhen already possessed nine years of killing experience. His proficiency in combat and slaughter far surpassed everyone else's, even that of the so-called professional assassin Zero and the mercenary gunner Ba Wang. After all, they had only entered the assassin and mercenary trades as adults to make a living, whereas Wang Zhen had entered the assassin industry at the age of ten just to survive, and he had been at it for nine years straight!

Therefore, once Wang Zhen became a State Alchemist, his strength grew at an astonishing rate!

Now, he could kill two Xenomorphs with ease—and he could do it simultaneously!

Looking at Zheng Zha's side, things were a complete disaster!

It could be said that the easier Wang Zhen found it to kill, the more arduous and pathetic Zheng Zha and his team's struggle was!

It was like a rich kid spending a fortune to buy a max-level account, only to be completely unfamiliar with the game mechanics and class skills. Despite this, he arrogantly believed himself to be invincible, only to be immediately KO'd by an level-eleven elite Gnoll, Hogger!

The scene was simply an eyesore!

Zheng Zha was that very person who had spent a fortune on a Vampire Baron bloodline and Intermediate Internal Energy Enhancement. Despite being completely unfamiliar with the combat techniques of such a bloodline, he boasted that he was the strongest combatant in the Zhongzhou Team, only to be schooled by the most basic Drone Xenomorph!

In fact, with his C-rank Mutant Vampire Bloodline and C-rank Internal Energy Enhancement, Zheng Zha possessed the equivalent of a double C-rank reinforcement.

And the Xenomorphs?

The reward for clearing the plot world was one D-rank side quest and 1000 reward points. This meant that the strongest Xenomorphs in the plot world were at most at this level. So why was Zheng Zha, a man with double C-rank enhancements, being beaten into a pulp by a D-rank level Xenomorph?

There is only one truth!

During the ten-day rest period in the plot world, Zheng Zha had not familiarized himself with his bloodline's combat techniques. Instead, he had spent every day challenging the limits of Loli's patience. Because of this, Zheng Zha, a man with a vampire bloodline, ended up squatting on the side and vomiting his guts out at the sight of a bloody dismemberment. Not to mention failing to use his vampire senses to detect the Xenomorphs in advance, he didn't even know how to fight when he finally saw them!

Although Zheng Zha had ascended to the heavens with his double C-rank enhancements, he lacked the discipline of Wang Zhen, who had used his cheat to transition into the highly restrictive State Alchemist profession, utilized the Main God to glitch the system, perfected his own class traits, and ultimately forged his own combat style. Wang Zhen had even managed to kill three Xenomorphs solo in the plot world with ease, two of which he had taken out in a single wave.

Although Zheng Zha's side had many people, in reality, almost no one could provide effective support in battle. The only person who could have helped, Zhang Jie, could not provide the missing assistance due to his own reasons. As for Chu Xuan, Zero, and Ba Wang, while they were indeed professionals, the three of them without guns were not much better off than Li Shuaixi, who had been ambushed and devoured. After all, as newcomers, they lacked the strength to smash a Xenomorph with their bare hands! As for Zhan Lan, it went without saying; although she was a rare talent with psychic potential, she had only received 1000 reward points in the Resident Evil plot world and could not afford to enhance any psychic superpowers suitable for her!

And so, Zheng Zha—a noob who didn't even know the basic game controls for moving or activating skills—was wearing a max-level T3 set of double C-rank bloodline enhancements, only to be hacked to bloody ribbons by a Xenomorph, a mere level-eleven elite Gnoll. It was like a slaughterhouse: left slash, right slash, up slash, down slash—every strike drew blood, every strike tore flesh. If Zheng Zha's health bar hadn't been truly massive, he would have likely knelt long ago!

Even so, Zheng Zha showed no signs of improvement. His panicked, clumsy movements were no match for the Xenomorph's innate combat and killing instincts. Zhang Jie's only contribution was standing in the back, using two infinite-ammo Desert Eagles to "scrape the scales" of the Xenomorph's tough exoskeleton, while the others could only hide on the sidelines and cheer him on!

No matter how large or deep a health bar is, there comes a moment when it is depleted. Furthermore, the Xenomorph was a weapon of slaughter from head to toe, dealing massive damage to Zheng Zha, causing his health bar to plummet rapidly! When his health dropped to only one-third, Zheng Zha took another claw strike that shredded his chest and carved away a chunk of flesh, exposing his stark white ribs...

It was at this moment that Zheng Zha's pained expression suddenly turned as calm as water. His eyes became eerily hollow and indifferent, like a dead, cold pool. Yet, his entire being seemed possessed by a demon, as if, in that very instant, he had been inhabited by a true vampire!

His movements became strange and flickering, yet sharp and ferocious. He circled and darted around the Xenomorph like a humanoid bat. Previously, almost every one of the Xenomorph's attacks had landed, but now, even though the Xenomorph's attack frequency remained swift, its methods remained unfathomable, and its force remained fierce, it could no longer hit Zheng Zha.

Clearly, Zheng Zha's movements were not so fast as to be blinding, but his strange, flickering motions made it impossible for the Xenomorph to land a hit. Conversely, Zheng Zha's sharp and ferocious counterattacks began to draw blood with every strike. Even though he had discarded the combat knife he had specifically exchanged for, Zheng Zha's fair, slender palms had turned withered and bone-white, his fingertips sharp as blades!

The Xenomorph's exoskeleton, which could withstand bullets, was like thin tissue paper under these eerie, monstrous hands; a single poke left a hole, and a casual swipe left a deep gash.

Once Zheng Zha activated the rich-kid-whale VIP substitute-player service, it took only a few seconds for the elite Gnoll that had nearly hacked the wealthy boss to death to be killed on the ground by the VIP substitute player the boss had urgently summoned at a great cost!

If Wang Zhen were here, he would surely sigh that the most overpowered beings were these wealthy bosses protected by the protagonist's halo. Because whenever they couldn't win, they would summon a VIP-level substitute to save the day. Very few monsters could withstand a VIP-level professional substitute, so once the wealthy protagonist boss summoned one, the battle was basically over!

When the VIP substitute left without looking back, Zheng Zha, the wealthy protagonist boss, collapsed directly onto the ground. The cost of this emergency on-the-spot summoning of a VIP substitute was astronomical, and even he felt the pain so acutely that he lay on the ground twitching...

Just as Zheng Zha was nursing his heartache, two more Xenomorphs came sprinting toward them from the distance...
