Know Yourself, Know Your Enemy

The task has been accepted.

But Qin Yiguan still had many things he didn't understand.

The boy went to Zanyin Group again.

He then prepared a list of questions and sent it to the Metaverse Know-It-All.

After seeing the list of questions, Baixiaosheng exclaimed that Qin Yiguan was crazy, but for the sake of the money, he did as he was told.

now.

Qin Yiguan walked down the street and came to this small tattoo shop.

Unfortunately, the shop owner Jiaolong, was not there, and the door was tightly closed.

Qin Yiguan suddenly noticed a neighboring shop with a signboard projected from thin air at the entrance that read, "Strength Test".

"Our store."

"There are two types of strength tests. One is for the poor: you hit a sensor-equipped punching bag, and the system will automatically calculate your strength. One punch is 80."

"The other type is for the wealthy. You can fight against robots, and you can set the robot's Fusion Rate at will. If you destroy one, you pay for that robot, which costs 800,000."

The shop owner was a seductive woman and a giant man over 2 meters tall.

"Robots, and they even have Fusion Rate?"

The boy in the black jacket asked, puzzled.

"The power levels of those robots are adjustable; different power levels correspond to different human bodies."

"They certainly don't have Reality Enhancement, but their power can simulate the Fusion Rate with humans."

The alluring female boss held a makeup box, from which a small, mechanical arm extended, precisely applying lipstick to her lips.

Qin Yiguan pondered for a moment.

Within the Metaverse, an increase in the Fusion Rate signifies an improvement in multiple human attributes, such as physical strength, resilience, and various levels of perception.

In other words, if someone's Fusion Rate reaches 100%, even if they have no special abilities, their physical body can be comparable to Superman's.

Of course, in this morally corrupt world, without special combat abilities, there is basically no chance to increase the Fusion Rate.

For an ordinary person, if they survive a hundred years and their Fusion Rate increases by 30%, they would be considered very lucky.

The robots in this store can simulate human bodies at various Fusion Rate.

The boy's own Fusion Rate is currently 35%.

In his daily life, he did feel that his strength had increased, but he didn't have a clear numerical value.

Most importantly.

And then there's Jiu Zhengxuan, whose Fusion Rate is 68%. Leaving aside the Reality Enhancement, what level of power does he possess?

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.

"Get me a robot."

Qin Yiguan spoke up.

"Handsome young man, do you have money?"

"800,000 per unit."

A robotic arm applies blush to the glamorous female boss.

But then the burly man beside him suddenly spoke, his voice surprisingly gentle, "Boss, why are you so snobbish? Like in those brainless novels, you see someone dressed plainly and immediately suspect they're poor? Be careful you don't get slapped in the face."

The glaring female boss glared at the burly man. "Have you no brains? If this kid breaks the robot and can't pay the bill, you'll be my robot!"

The big man felt somewhat aggrieved.

But then the alluring female boss looked at Qin Yiguan and said, "Handsome young man, I'm not a snob. Even if you don't have money, there are ways to make it work. My store has a prized possession—a robot made entirely of titanium alloy with an extremely high Fusion Rate. We have a promotion: if you can beat it, all your purchases are free!"

Qin Yiguan looked up, "How much Fusion Rate can it simulate?"

The alluring female boss said haughtily, "68%!"

Qin Yiguan suddenly chuckled, "What a coincidence."

Immediately.

Qin Yiguan turned around, "Robots, prepare 10 for me."

Inside the fully enclosed test room.

Qin Yiguan quietly looked at the robot in front of him. It was about the size of an adult male and made of metal parts. To save costs, it had no facial features.

"Hey buddy, what level should this robot be upgraded to?"

The alluring female boss asked from outside.

Qin Yiguan pondered for a moment, "The power of an ordinary person, a young man around 25 years old."

The alluring boss, while applying makeup, manipulated the virtual control panel. "Well, another one who's all talk and no action. He comes in and starts fighting 'ordinary people,' probably just curious. He probably can't even damage the robot anyway. Consider it just a free trial ticket!"

The burly man said in a deep voice, "Boss, be careful you don't get slapped in the face."

"Roll."

The female boss pressed the start button.

Qin Yiguan burst out and punched the robot in the side with all his might. The robot's head spun around, and the parts around its neck flew off in all directions.

With a clang, the mechanical head fell to the ground.

The boy glanced back at the electronic screen.

The robot's toughness perfectly simulates the strength of human flesh and bones.

'A single punch shatters a human's neck, the body remains in place due to inertia, while the head rotates 360 degrees; the estimated impact force is 560 kilograms.'

The glamorous female boss stood there, stunned.

The boy muttered to himself, "A normal man's punch has a force of about 100 to 150 kilograms. If the technique is not right, it's only about 80 kilograms. So, without using any special abilities, at 35% Fusion Rate... my strength is about 6 times that of an average person."

Immediately, Qin Yiguan shouted, "Boss, prepare a robot with 35% Fusion Rate!"

The alluring boss was somewhat stunned, but subconsciously did as she was told.

A brand new sixth brother has arrived.

Brain Hyperactivity Zone B05 [Shadow Syndrome] -- Deadly One.

A figure flashed through Qin Yiguan's mind: a silent, twisted killer who killed everyone with a single blow.

for example.

An attack from the front, striking the Adam's apple, transmits the force backward, causing two-thirds of the cervical vertebrae to dislocate, severing the connection between the spinal cord and the brain, resulting in instant death.

For example...

Using a fist to strike the lower edge of the third rib on the right side can cause severe damage to the lungs, leading to congestion and blood foam in the lungs, resulting in difficulty breathing and death. This method causes minimal external injury but severe internal damage.

Qin Yiguan threw a punch, hitting the robot's lung, denting its metal shell.

But the robot doesn't have lungs.

He immediately threw a punch, striking the robot's Adam's apple. A bulge instantly appeared on the back of the robot's neck, and the rivets shot out like bullets, severing all of its neural pathways.

The robot crashed to the ground.

In that instant, Qin Yiguan realized the essence of the ' Deadly One ' – precision!

Perhaps due to the enhancements within the Experimental Zone, Qin Yiguan felt that his mind could instantly analyze his opponent's fatal weaknesses, no matter how small those weaknesses might be.

He glanced back at the alluring female boss in the distance, even though a woman's Adam's apple is small and difficult to notice.

Qin Yiguan could also pinpoint the location precisely; once the strike was launched, the power would be transmitted to her spinal cord, inevitably resulting in a fatal blow!

It seems that the error in his own fist would not exceed one millimeter.

"What kind of look is that?!"

The alluring female boss shuddered, and the lipstick on the mechanical arm instantly veered off course, leaving a bloody mark on the corner of her mouth.

then.

Qin Yiguan continued testing, destroying a total of 5 robots, and the robots' Fusion Rate gradually increased to 60%!

He tested five different types of killers, each specializing in accuracy, agility, flexibility, and evasion.

The last one is a murderer who is good at using his body as a weapon. He can extend two fingers to make a 'dagger', put his palm together to make an 'axe', and point his toes to make a spear!

now.

Qin Yiguan looked at the store's prized possession.

In the chaos, the alluring female boss also activated the store's prized possession.

Qin Yiguan's body moved like a blur, his two right fingers piercing the robot's 'lungs' like daggers, his left foot slashing straight down, severing one of the robot's thighs, and then his left elbow striking the robot's neck!

then.

The boy ducked down and darted behind the robot, bracing himself against its back with his shoulder. He then grabbed the robot's head with both hands, snapping its neck with a crack, and the head fell into the boy's hands!

Qin Yiguan rose slightly.

Chest heaving.

It wasn't that he had too many competitors, but that he had mastered a new method!

A long string of data flashed in the field of view.

Brain Hyperactivity Zone B05 [Shadow Syndrome] -- Deadly One.

Brain Hyperactivity Zone B05 [Shadow Syndrome] -- The Hidden One.

Brain Hyperactivity Zone B05 [Shadow Syndrome] -- Swift Ghost.

Brain Hyperactivity Zone B05 [Shadow Syndrome] -- UMC.

Brain Hyperactivity Zone B05 [Shadow Syndrome] -- Human Weapon.

Brain Hyperactivity Zone B05 [Shadow Syndrome] -- Wrathful Jiao Shensan!

The boy turned around and looked at the data monitoring screen.

The "Accurate Data" section has been replaced with various '￥%...#&@#!!***', which suggests the backend program has crashed.

However, there is still some ambiguous data.

'Limb speed: Adult * 17'

'Reaction speed: Adult * 21'

'Fighting Techniques: Multi-Hybrid'

Strength: Adult * 100 (Exceeds system preset value)

The robot, with a 68% Fusion Rate, had now become a headless corpse and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The boy smiled.

It turns out that [Shadow Syndrome] can be used in this way: simulating multiple killers at the same time, but only extracting their most proficient aspects.

The idea is to combine the strengths of various schools into one's own!

Speed, precision, dodging, skill, physical weaponry!

As for that power, it came from the Wrathful Jiao Shensan, who was a cyborg with a physical enhancement of 1200 times, while Qin Yiguan's was 1201 times!

That system cannot provide the statistics!

Qin Yiguan didn't have the chance to unleash this 1201-fold power for the time being, but in any case, it gave him an incomparably strong confidence that he could shatter everything!

bite.

' Brain Hyperactivity Zone B05 [Shadow Syndrome] Development Rate +10, Current Development Rate 20%!'

'Derivative capabilities: Dismantling and Imitation.'

At this moment, Qin Yiguan possessed the memories of six murderers, exuding extreme malevolence. Every gesture he made seemed poised to unleash a murderous rage.

The glamorous female boss was stunned.

The burly man shrank behind her and whispered, "He really got slapped in the face."

Qin Yiguan lowered his head and slowly walked out of the shop, but before leaving, he still had God's Abandoned scan the shop's POS system and pay a certain fee.

The glamorous female boss, still shaken, patted her ample chest and exclaimed, "This guy was a hidden master! A monster! A master is a master. Even though he had already met the conditions for a free meal, he still left us some money! Masters are never short of cash!"

When the glamorous female boss saw the amount deposited, she was completely stunned.

"80?"

What does he mean?

"My robot, is it like a punching bag in his eyes?!"

Qin Yiguan walked down the street, pondering to himself.

"With pure physical strength, I can already crush Jiu Zhengxuan."

"If we're talking about special abilities..."

Qin Yiguan's mind flashed with the image of the ferocious ' Silver-Winged Yaksha,' "Satan's pet, now it all depends on you!"

It was at this time.

Qin Yiguan suddenly caught sight of two figures standing on the street ahead.

A man wearing a floral shirt and a girl wearing a cotton plaid skirt and thick glasses.

"Boss Qin, I heard you've taken over the Youth Order Squad's business?"

The man in the floral shirt laughed, "Excuse my bluntness, Jingye Meinan without my help, you would have been stripped naked by Jiu Zhengxuan, hung from the rafters, whipped with willow branches, and ultimately humiliated to death."

Chen Mudou, holding the folder, said in a low voice, "I want to go too. Although I can't be of much help, I can make the most detailed mission records for you."

Qin Yiguan smiled. "You'd better think this through. That's the Youth Order Squad. They took down more than a dozen Gang in just a few hours."

Jingye Meinan tilted his head. "What you said is like pouring cold water on me. I really don't want to go anymore."

"Ha ha!"

"Just kidding!"

Jingye Meinan strode over, "What's the Youth Order Squad? Our Dog Gang's Hall 157 is invincible, we'll kill gods and Buddhas alike!"

Oh, by the way.

"Bragging is bragging."

"I only deal with Huo Shuang, I don't care about the others!"
