Game Balance (Cheat)

"Huh?"

Amor's expression shifted slightly, not from nervousness, but from anger.

He had been on guard for so long, and this bald guy just spouted a bunch of nonsense, trying to beg for mercy?

What a waste of time!

His hand, gripping the gun, trembled slightly with anger, but then instantly calmed:

No. Something's not right.

If this bald guy was truly begging for mercy, why wasn't he scared? Why hadn't he shown any fear from beginning to end?

This must be a trap!

Amor cautiously analyzed Li Qing's mental state. Even the four lackeys following him held their breath nervously.

However, they didn't know...

Li Qing genuinely had no idea what on his person could help him escape his predicament.

He simply didn't know what fear was.

He was like that as a child, and he was like that as an adult. Ever since he realized he was "playing a game," it was even more so.

"Oh?"

Seeing Amor and the others hesitate and circle nervously, he instead took a step forward, confronting Amor's gun barrel aggressively:

"Judging by your expressions, you're not willing to let this ordinary citizen leave?"

"..."

Amor fell silent for a moment, but his gaze subtly firmed:

"Of course not!"

"This is a mission assigned to me by 'higher-ups,' and I must complete it!"

He gritted his teeth, speaking to himself as if brainwashed:

"Our Passion organization only allows capable Stand Users to become high-ranking core members."

"Ordinary people like me on the fringes of the organization can never get promoted, no matter how hard we work."

"I'm not resigned to that."

"A Stand User, huh? Alright then..."

"Today, I'll kill a Stand User and prove my worth to the organization!"

Amor's voice grew louder, both to motivate himself and to help the four young subordinates behind him overcome their fear.

And just as he was about to pull the trigger and engage in a battle with this "Stand User" of unknown identity and ability, Li Qing made the first move:

"Hah!"

He shouted loudly, disrupting their minds, and then thrust his fingers forward like a blade, slashing out.

Li Qing was attacking Amor's eyes.

His physical strength had greatly increased after transmigration. Although it hadn't reached any transcendent level yet, it was enough to crush Amor and the other ordinary mobsters.

He wanted to use his physical advantage to launch a surprise attack, take away the opponent's vision, and then create chaos to seize an opportunity to escape.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

Although Amor hadn't anticipated Li Qing's sudden attack, he still reacted instinctively:

He leaped back a large step like a startled venomous snake, narrowly protecting his eyes.

"Boss Amor!"

Seeing their leader "suffer a setback and retreat," the four men in black were so flustered they forgot to lower their guns.

After all, in their minds, Li Qing was a Stand User who possibly possessed teleportation abilities.

And those Stand Users were all monsters, enemies that mere grunts like them couldn't handle.

"Don't panic!"

While the surrounding subordinates were in disarray, Amor, who had just been ambushed by Li Qing, actually gained confidence.

He stabilized himself, and his gaze towards Li Qing instantly became sharp:

"Everyone, don't be nervous anymore. I've figured out this bald guy's true nature:"

"He either doesn't have the teleportation ability we imagined, or he has some unknown limitations."

Amor calmly explained his thoughts.

Although it was only for a moment, strangely...

In this world, explanations didn't take up time.

Yes, under a certain "world rule," time almost "froze" when characters were conversing:

"If he wanted to escape, he could have just teleported away directly."

"If he wanted to fight, he could have used his ability to instantly teleport to a blind spot in my vision and then launch an unblockable surprise attack on me just now."

"But this bald guy only used some crude punches and kicks on me."

"This means—"

"He probably can't use that strange teleportation ability anymore!"

"And judging by the palm strike he threw earlier, while his physical fitness is far better than that of ordinary soldiers, it hasn't exceeded the scope of a normal human."

"Just a Stand User who's empty-handed, with limited combat power, and whose abilities are also restricted."

"We can handle him!"

With a few words, Amor completely exposed Li Qing's trump cards.

After hearing his explanation, the four black-clothed subordinates seemed to have their hearts set at ease. Not only did they stop panicking, but they also cast fierce, wolf-like gazes at Li Qing.

"A-are you serious?"

As he looked at the several muzzles firmly aimed at him, Li Qing had a somewhat helpless expression:

He had genuinely done his best just now.

But the opponent was skilled, had more people, and also had guns.

The difference in strength between the enemy and allies was too great; this game seemed a bit unbalanced.

The situation instantly reversed.

Amor wasn't even in a hurry to shoot and kill Li Qing. He merely gave orders to his subordinates with a detached tone:

"Attach the silencers first."

"There's a busy street downstairs. The bodies here haven't been cleaned up yet, so don't make too much noise."

"If we attract attention, it'll be another hassle."

"Yes!"

The four black-clothed subordinates, following their boss's example, skillfully began attaching silencer devices to their guns.

Li Qing knew he couldn't wait any longer.

Once the opponent could fire without any reservations, he would have no hope of breaking free.

Thus, he suddenly leaped forward, intending to use one of the black-clothed men as cover, and slip past the enemy before they could fire, rushing out of the blood-scented guest room.

"Heh heh."

However, what awaited him was Amor's cold, mocking laugh:

"Escaping?"

"It seems you really have no other tricks."

Under the world rule of "Explanation Time Stop," he leisurely explained his thoughts to Li Qing, who hadn't managed to run more than two steps:

"Most Stand Users are monsters that ordinary people cannot fight against, leaving no room for carelessness."

"I deliberately had them attach the silencers in front of you simultaneously. Besides not wanting to attract attention, it was also to intentionally create an escape opportunity for you and test your true abilities."

"If you had stayed, it would have meant that this Stand User likely had other means of support, requiring us to treat you with caution, or even abandon the escape altogether."

"And if you ran…"

"It would mean my guess just now was correct."

"You're just a third-rate Stand User who can't even deal with ordinary people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Amor slightly twitched his wrist and produced a second gun from his sleeve—a miniature pistol that was already fully cocked, loaded, and even had a silencer attached.

The next instant, the muzzle bloomed with a fatal flash of light.

The bullet passed through the slender silencer barrel, emitting a muffled yet clearly discernible terrifying sound.

This metal projectile was swift and precise. In an instant, it pierced through the air and struck Li Qing's right kneecap without deviation.

Li Qing's escape motion suddenly faltered.

"Hmph!"

Amor coldly glanced at Li Qing and said:

"Baldy, you just stay here."

"I think the organization will be interested in a 'Stand User' who came here to gather information."

As he spoke, he quickly pulled the trigger, and then accurately shot through the knee joint of Li Qing's other leg.

For an ordinary person, this would have been a complete dead end.

However…

"Haha…"

Li Qing chuckled without changing his expression, his demeanor as calm as if he hadn't been injured at all.

Because just now, the moment the bullets pierced his knees, he discovered his true ability as a "player":

"Detected that the host has sustained combat damage."

"Digitization Mode activated."

"Loading hero template: Lee Sin."

His appearance remained unchanged, still the clean-featured, muscular, bald youth.

However, a system interface, much like a computer game, suddenly appeared in Li Qing's mind:

Skill bar, experience bar, health, level.

The experience bar was empty, the level was 1, and on the skill bar, there was a skill point to allocate, with three learnable skill icons sparkling.

However, there was no equipment slot or stat box, nor the energy bar that Lee Sin should have.

His health also lacked specific numerical values, instead displaying as a percentage, currently at 72%.

Clearly, the two bullets that had penetrated his knees earlier had inflicted no small amount of damage.

Fortunately, his health was slowly recovering at a rate of 0.5%/s, seemingly able to replenish itself without the need for healing.

And at the same time, Li Qing knew:

He had truly become the champion from League of Legends, "Lee Sin."

This wasn't a baseless delusion or an unfounded sixth sense, but a tangible physical change.

The moment Digitization Mode was activated, Li Qing had gained the superpowers of "Lee Sin":

He.

Was blind.
