142: They all have bright futures!

When Wei Si made a fuss, it was the most chaotic time on the second floor, and also the best time to fish in troubled waters.

The waiters were busy cleaning up the mess and didn't notice an extra person quietly appearing.

It was also fortunate that Buster had a European-American face; if it were the native Warriors, he wouldn't be able to act at all and would be sent to pick cotton on the spot.

Buster, lying in wait, followed Cheng Zhen's instructions to find an opportunity to approach and deal with the machine gunner.

Cheng Zhen, on the other hand, made himself the center of attention, causing everyone to overlook an ordinary plate-serving waiter.

With the machine gunner down and his objective achieved, Cheng Zhen immediately perked up.

He looked at Boss William, his smile gradually deepening.

With the machine gunner, I'll play dice with you; but now that the machine gunner is gone, if I still play dice with you, wouldn't Buster have come for nothing?

With the biggest threat dealt with, Cheng Zhen rushed towards Boss William without a second thought.

Boss William wanted to feed him a bullet, but the two were too close for a pistol. So he drew a gleaming short knife and fiercely stabbed at Cheng Zhen.

As the faction leader and Dungeon Boss, Boss William himself had a certain level of combat power, which was enhanced after the dungeon upgrade, granting him the strength of a bear!

Boss William looked at Cheng Zhen's small arms and legs, revealing a confident smile, and increased his strength, intending to stab the kid straight through on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhen's speed was extremely fast, directly bypassing his stab at close range, and a strange-colored blade light flashed in his hand, striking directly at Boss William's face.

Although the item inventory was disabled, weapons in the equipment slot could still be summoned. Cheng Zhen used his 'Village Good Knife' for the first time, which he had scrounged from the village chief's house in his first dungeon—

Weapon: Rusty Tetanus Machete

Quality: Excellent

Effect: Increases attack power by 10%. When attacking, there is a 10% chance to inflict the negative effect: Tetanus on the attacked creature.

Tetanus: After being infected with this negative effect, speed -10%, strength -10%, stamina consumption increases, recovery speed decreases, and there is a slight chance of experiencing breathing difficulties.

Previously, Cheng Zhen basically didn't need to do it himself when clearing dungeons, so he didn't buy any new weapons, just casually hung a knife.

Although the knife's attributes weren't great, its size and weight were quite handy. Cheng Zhen pressed against Boss William and chopped.

Boss William didn't expect Cheng Zhen's speed to be so fast. He was too close to dodge and was cut on the arm.

Although the effect wasn't triggered, Boss William was already enraged.

Having been a big boss for many years, it had been a long time since anyone could harm him even a little. Now that Cheng Zhen was turning his territory upside down, he wished he could slice Cheng Zhen into a thousand pieces.

Boss William was battle-hardened, with every move being lethal. Although Cheng Zhen lacked experience, his movements were unexpectedly agile, time and again turning danger into safety, dodging attacks while also looking for opportunities to slash at the Boss, trying to inflict negative effects on him.

Boss William initially thought this kid was unskilled in combat, just a bit fast, but taking him down was only a matter of time.

However, as the fight progressed, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

When he missed once, he thought he was underestimating; when he missed twice, he thought he was careless…

But later, even when Boss William used all his strength, he couldn't catch this slippery kid.

And with Cheng Zhen's continuous counterattacks, Boss William successfully contracted tetanus, and couldn't help but gasp for breath.

“You… you…”

Boss William stared at Cheng Zhen, seemingly unable to understand how he couldn't even defeat a young upstart.

Cheng Zhen, however, looked at the Boss with a disappointed expression, as if his eyes were saying, 'Is that all?'

Originally, he wanted to assess his current combat power, but… it seemed he couldn't assess it?

Cheng Zhen had already taken the opportunity to apply 'Basic Movement Techniques,' 'Basic External Martial Arts,' 'Basic Swordsmanship,' and other secret manuals to himself, completing a major enhancement.

However, although the knowledge had been crammed into his head, it still needed practical mastery, so Cheng Zhen wanted to test it out on Boss William, this humanoid monster.

In Cheng Zhen's original plan, even if the Boss was difficult to deal with, he could throw out Fat Buddha to take care of the opponent.

But he really didn't expect Boss William to be… so weak?

Aren't you a Dungeon Boss? Is that all your combat power?

I haven't even tried hard, and you're already falling?

Cheng Zhen was very puzzled, and even a little suspicious that the other party might be hiding his trump cards and strength.

If the Boss knew Cheng Zhen's thoughts, he would probably have a mental breakdown.

Is there a possibility that my strength is already strong enough for 'normal Rookie'?

I have subordinates and machine guns, isn't it easy to handle a few Rookie?

Who knew that someone would level up early by taking experience potions, then suppress their level to come back and bully me, a three-star dungeon Boss?!

In the previous dungeons, Cheng Zhen had maximized his use of basic potions and was already drinking intermediate enhancement potions. Coupled with the martial arts secret manuals he had applied by cheating, it was not an exaggeration to call himself a martial arts master at this point.

Even if a Level 10 Boss could casually bully a Level 5 Rookie, in front of a Level 20 'Rookie,' he only had the role of being beaten.

Boss William was beaten to the point of rolling on the ground. Facing Cheng Zhen's disdainful little eyes, it was as if his dignity as a Boss had been crushed and ground into dust.

“All of you, attack him! Kill him!!!”

He could no longer hold back, letting out an angry roar. The henchmen in the hidden compartments on the second floor swarmed out with guns, raising them and aiming at Cheng Zhen.

Boss William looked at his subordinates surrounding Cheng Zhen and smiled.

You're very good at fighting? What's the point of being good at fighting? I have guns!

Cheng Zhen glanced at the henchmen who had suddenly surrounded him and sighed.

He looked inexplicably disappointed.

Cheng Zhen: I thought it would be the kind of drama where you beat the young one and the old one comes, but it's still a bunch of small monsters that don't drop gold coins…

Boss William, however, thought his sigh was a surrender, and with a sinister smile, he waved his hand, ordering his subordinates to hang the kid up as a target.

Cheng Zhen said nothing, simply put one hand in his pocket, and pointed his thumb over his shoulder.

Everyone looked up and saw Buster occupying the machine gun, its dark barrel aimed at them.

Did they really think Buster only took off his shoes and didn't care about anything else?

Anyone who dares to move again will surely learn what it means to have a cold rain of bullets randomly slapping their face!

Boss William: “…”

Thug NPC: “…………”

Cheng Zhen patted Boss William's face: “You have an ambush? What's the point? I have a machine gun!”

Boss William really wanted to say that those were his machine guns and his words, but in the end, he just sank into frustrated silence.

“…Guest, you win.”

He spoke with difficulty: “Whatever you want, just take it…”

“Any request I make is fine?” Cheng Zhen raised an eyebrow.

Boss William looked humble: “Yes…”

“Good ~” Cheng Zhen smiled, then turned and called out to Xiao Jiao, who was hiding: “Come out quickly, I'm interested in playing dice again!”

…

“The dice roll is 1,” Cheng Zhen said with a smile.

The waiter, with a gun pointed at him, tremblingly turned over a 1: “Guest No. 4 guessed correctly, this round is won.”

Boss William, with a gun pointed at him, silently pushed the dice in front of Cheng Zhen.

Cheng Zhen smiled: “Oh, my luck is quite good this time, isn't it, Xiao Jiao?”

Xiao Jiao: “…Is it?”

Cheng Zhen then glanced at the group of bettors and asked: “Weren't you all laughing a lot just now? Why aren't you laughing anymore?”

The bettors, with guns pointed at them, forced out a smile uglier than crying.

“OK, next round.”

Cheng Zhen was satisfied and continued to roll the dice, watching the waiter's trembling hands change the cards.

After several rounds, Boss William finally lost all his gold chips and dice. He breathed a sigh of relief, as if a torture session had ended.

“Don't stop.”

Cheng Zhen held the gun, pointing at a henchman and telling him to bring another box of gold chips for Boss William.

“As the boss here, it's perfectly reasonable for you to have many chips.”

“So, we can play slowly for a long time!”

Boss William: “…………”

For a moment, he wished the gun barrel would just fire and send him away directly.

Xiao Jiao watched from the side.

Cheng Zhen was helping people quit their gambling addiction.

The Bartender was shaking his hands to mix drinks for him.

They all had a bright future!
