175: Chapter 175 A Cheating Strategy! Exploring Space

"Bang!"

Gold quality level 7 gold bullet.

The instant Chu Hong drew upon thirty percent of his body's source energy and pulled the trigger of the red quality weapon [inheritor sv-98], it smashed fiercely into the boss's massive head.

Blood, accompanied by the sound of the skull shattering, reached Chu Hong's ears.

However.

In response to Chu Hong, after the boss giant ape landed, was a miserable scream tinged with an increasingly furious roar.

What the fuck! It's still not dead?!

Chu Hong's pupils constricted slightly.

He didn't hesitate at all.

The next second, the moment the giant ape threw a punch, several thick tentacles from behind firmly bound the latter's arm.

Chu Hong retreated.

In his hand, a [Gravity Field] condensed and manifested once more.

With a "bang,"

a black hole exploded on the boss's body once again, and instantly, even [Ke Xiaoken] clinging to it floated up at that moment.

[inheritor sv-98] was loaded once more.

This time, it aimed once again at the spot hit previously.

This part of the skull was noticeably shattered, and one could even faintly see the crimson brain tissue.

"Even if you're a boss, even if your head can withstand gold bullets head-on, I refuse to believe you fucking can take several shots in a row!"

"Bang!"

A fierce light flashed in Chu Hong's eyes.

The instant the trigger was pulled,

the [inheritor sv-98] in his hand transformed into [biochemical suppression 93r] amidst a red glow.

At close range, the power of this red-quality three-burst pistol was not to be underestimated either.

The moment before the [Gravity Field] was about to expire,

Chu Hong frantically pulled the trigger at the exact same spot that had taken two heavy sniper shots.

"Da da da! Da da da! Da da da…"

A whole magazine with a capacity of a full 20 rounds

was directly emptied by Chu Hong!

"Boom…"

Watching the boss crash heavily onto the ground with a loud bang after the [Gravity Field] effect ended, with no more movement left, Chu Hong's heart was still beating wildly.

Is it dead?

He didn't dare to be sure. After all, in his impression, aside from "plot kills," it seemed that [Pioneers] couldn't kill this thing at all.

He had originally just held the intention of giving it a try, while checking out the effect of his new superpower on the boss.

Suddenly, a line of text lit up before Chu Hong's eyes.

[Benchmark Quest "Human Supremacy," Completed!]

On the quest progress requirement of [Source Energy Department · Source Energy Research (V)] to accumulate twenty boss kills, it also changed from the original 0/20 to 1/20.

It can be killed!

A look of wild joy suddenly burst forth in Chu Hong's eyes.

Although the source energy within his body was almost completely empty after outputting that set of moves just now, Chu Hong's heart was still filled with excitement and thrill.

Running out of source energy was nothing more than a matter of an [omega venom stimulant] injection, or at worst, activating his superpower [Slaughter Overlord] to directly clear small mobs and recover source energy.

But pulling off a set of moves every minute to frontally kill a boss—if word of this got out, it would definitely be enough to scare people to death.

Behind him,

the mutated monkeys frantically wanted to rush into the cave, but they were all blocked outside by [Ke Xiaoken]'s terrifying tentacles.

Chu Hong stepped forward and reached out to press his hand onto the boss giant ape's body.

Searching [Lord of the Ape Clan: Codename Primitive One]: ...

One takes up one grid, one takes up two grids, and one takes up one grid.

A total of three items, a very stylish hand.

However,

as several lights lit up consecutively amidst the spinning search icons, Chu Hong couldn't help but curl his lips in disdain.

"You dead penniless ghost, three items and not even a single gold piece among them. For such a huge thing, your whole body isn't even worth a single hair of your Uncle Yang!"

Just as Chu Hong was speaking,

a voice abruptly came from outside the cave.

"Your strength is even greater than I imagined…"

Speak of the devil!

As Chu Hong motioned for [Ke Xiaoken] to clear the cave entrance, amidst a ground full of bloody monkey corpses, Cliff Yang's pitch-black, stern figure stood there like a javelin.

That crimson technological prosthetic eye gazed at Chu Hong, flickering with a faint light.

It was as if he was calculating and scanning the intelligence information on Chu Hong.

Under Chu Hong's gaze,

Cliff Yang began to recite some lines like "The group will give you the treatment you deserve…" yada yada, lines that Chu Hong had heard more than once before, as if he were just routinely completing a mission.

This was the mechanism of the secret realm.

There was a certain degree of flexibility, but in some matters, it was still as rigid and stiff as a game instance from his past life.

Chu Hong didn't speak, silently fishing out an [omega venom stimulant] from the [source energy space].

At the [Special Service Department] pharmaceutical workbench, producing such an injection required sacrificing at least three purple-quality medical collectible items. In other words, this single gold-quality stimulant

had a manufacturing cost of around 100,000 source energy points.

But this investment was well worth it…

Watching Cliff Yang, who was still lecturing about the "Palino Bio-Group treatment" and the concept of "Human Supremacy,"

Chu Hong's mind was entirely filled with the drop rates—the kind that made him unable to help his little dragon raise its head just imagining looting the other party's corpse inside the evaluation secret realm.

"Mr. Cliff…" Chu Hong spoke up to interrupt.

A bizarre smile appeared on his face. "Do you like eating apples?"

A humanized look of perplexity and confusion appeared on Cliff Yang's face, as if he didn't understand why Chu Hong suddenly threw out such a baffling remark.

The next second,

right in front of him, Chu Hong demonstrated what a zero-frame initiation was.

"Sending you to the Western Paradise!"

The black hole of the [Gravity Field] instantly exploded on Cliff Yang, a boss from the human faction, once again following the previous boss [Lord of the Ape Clan].

With a "bang," the latter's body instantly felt like it was experiencing weightlessness in space,

floating up.

Even though the latter reacted very quickly, making a counterattack response at the very first moment,

that dizziness effect on top of the weightlessness still forcefully interrupted the skill of the other party's naked eye, which was already emitting a scorching laser red light at that moment.

"Bang!"

Having witnessed just how durable that boss thing's head was,

Chu Hong no longer had any of the hesitation he felt when dealing with the giant ape boss earlier.

The exact moment [inheritor sv-98] fired a shot into the opponent's head, he immediately switched to [biochemical suppression 93r].

"Da da da! Da da da…"

Dense bullets, accompanied by explosive gunfire, rang out once again in the cave that had just quieted down slightly.

The bullets shattered the skin of the latter's head, revealing a cyberpunk-style cyborg skull inside where human bone and metal were combined.

Fuck!

It really is like this!

Chu Hong had already guessed this when looting the other's corpse before.

Seeing that Cliff Yang's head was already in a cyborg state at this moment, Chu Hong felt even more fortunate in his heart.

Good thing I fucking respected you enough!

Not knowing if it was because of his body size,

compared to the giant ape boss which could only be weightless for one second, Cliff Yang's weightless state was noticeably longer.

Roughly close to two seconds.

Don't look at it as just a one-second difference,

but this one second was enough for Chu Hong to summon out the auto-loaded [inheritor sv-98] once again and treat this Department Head to another round of gold-bullet massage.

"Bang!"

Heavy sniper linking into the 93R to empty the magazine… Instantly, the superpower [Gravity Field] activated once more!

Boss Cliff Yang, who was just about to hit the ground, soared through space once again.

"Bang!"

"Da da da!"

Right when Chu Hong's source energy was exhausted and he truly couldn't hold on any longer, forcing him to summon both [Ke Xiaoken] and the Thunder Horned Dragon to stall for a bit,

Cliff Yang fell to the ground.

And right before him, the progress for killing 20 bosses also changed from 1/20 to 2/20.

Cliff Yang!

Die!
