96: Chapter 96 Completion Progress: 80%

The World Chat Channel suddenly fell silent.

Even the annoying sectors like 99233 couldn't say a single word.

Holy shit.

Encountering this kind of BOSS, being able to survive is already a stroke of luck.

If their sector had encountered those tentacles, they probably would have been wiped out long before the tornado even arrived.

Thinking of this, a trace of doubt surfaced in everyone's minds.

How on earth did they survive?

[Sector 10000]

@Sector 1, how exactly did you guys survive?

[Sector 10010]

Yeah, if this thing were in our sector, we'd probably have been totally wiped out by now.

[Sector 1]

earth burrowing ship: "Our boss, china, is resilient enough. Not only is he maintaining the Regional Shield, but he's also commanding us to resist the BOSS."

small boat: "Many of those tentacles are already dead; Huaxia Boss killed them all."

[Sector 10086]

“Doesn't the Regional Shield only block 50% of the damage? And it breaks after a few rounds of attacks, so what's the use?”

[Sector 486]

“Yeah, our shield broke a long time ago.”

[Sector 444]

“Your Regional Shield can block 50%? Ours was only 30%!”

“Unfair!”

“Sit down, everyone sit down. Is there really a difference between 30% and 50%? This BOSS is so weak.”

“Oh, true.”

[Sector 99233]

“...”

[Sector 10086]

“Noobs, stop talking. @Sector 1, how much damage does your Energy Shield block?”

[Sector 1]

earth burrowing ship: “99%. And it's still protecting us now, otherwise our fifty thousand people would have been gone long ago.”

[Sector 10010]

“The Regional Shield hasn't broken yet? My god!”

[Sector 10086]

“99%?!!! Holy shit!”

[Sector 10000]

“No wonder. But your sector boss is really fucking badass to be able to keep you guys safe like this.”

“@Sector 1, Brothers, hang in there, you're all doing great.”

[Sector 888]: “Keep it up! Let's get through this together!”

[Sector 985]: “The BOSS battle is almost over, everyone keep it up!”

[Sector 211]: “Keep going!”

Except for a very few annoying sectors where Players were mocking them,

most sectors sent words of encouragement to Sector 1.

Their gazes couldn't help but sweep toward the first box in the top-left corner again.

After paying the highest respect of the martial world with a 'solemn gaze,' they continued to eliminate the black line BOSSes.

The name 'china' also took deep root in their hearts.

Another five hours passed.

Chen Fan's hands felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Swallowing hard, he felt as if his throat had been cut by a knife.

A white bottle was handed over from the side.

“Drink some milk.”

Jiu Jiu raised the bottle in her hand and spoke softly.

Chen Fan nodded, took the bottle, and drained it in one gulp.

The sweet milk flowed down his throat, and the burning sensation instantly vanished.

After drinking the last drop, Chen Fan glanced over with lingering desire.

“You... what are you looking at!”

Jiu Jiu gave Chen Fan a sharp rap on the head, snorted angrily, and turned to leave.

Well.

She still hadn't come out of her angry state.

Chen Fan shook his head. Just as he was about to order concentrated fire, a faint fragrance drifted back.

“I really can't do anything about you. It's a deal, just one sip, okay?”

Jiu Jiu glared at Chen Fan and slowly leaned in...

The green figure standing in the corner tilted its head, lost in thought.

...

“Fire!”

Chen Fan no longer remembered which round this was.

The resources traded from the Players, although massive after the Hundredfold Cash Back,

were starting to look stretched thin after more than ten hours of continuous firing.

Having converted the last batch of Gunpowder into shells, Chen Fan was nearing the end of his supplies.

But nearly half of the tentacles in front of him remained.

That was nearly nine thousand tentacles!

“There are only thirty thousand shells left, which can only kill about eight hundred more.”

“Let's leave it to fate. Fire these off first.”

“Fire!”

Boom—

35 torpedoes were launched all at once.

A moment later, another tentacle gradually dissipated.

Correspondingly, several clusters of black lines thickened again.

Chen Fan understood that the black lines were absorbing the energy from the shattered crystals.

But he was powerless to stop it; currently, the main priority was clearing the tentacles.

Compared to the tentacles, the black lines weren't as terrifying.

Under thousands of rounds of bombardment, the nearby sea area had been completely set ablaze.

Raging fires roasted the advanced shield while also cutting off the approach of the black lines and the exit path for the Megalodon.

Chen Fan could only watch helplessly as the energy dissipated and was absorbed by the black lines.

The energy of his magic dragon crystal core had reached a terrifying 793.

A few more hours passed.

Although the black mist shrouded the entire sea area, slivers of light still managed to shine through the mist.

Chen Fan checked the time; it was past one in the afternoon.

In other words, the BOSS battle had lasted for 19 hours!

“Fire!”

Chen Fan roared harshly.

A booming sound rang out, and the tentacle closest to him let out a shrill cry before dissipating.

Just as Chen Fan numbly looked at the next tentacle, preparing to concentrate fire,

the densely packed tentacles began to twitch.

Then, over eight thousand tentacles frantically shrank and merged.

Ultimately, they merged into a single semi-cylinder with a diameter of 100,000 meters.

A piercing and sharp cry rang out.

The suckers on the semi-cylinder collectively opened their eyes, staring dead at Chen Fan.

A chill rose from the soles of Chen Fan's feet.

Just as he thought the opponent was about to launch a final assault, the semi-cylindrical tentacle gradually dissipated.

[Ding!]

[Server-wide Announcement.]

[Sector 1 BOSS Battle Progress: 80%.]

[Rewarding all Players in Sector 1: Gold Coins x5k, Wood x1k, rope x1k, Nails x1k, Cloth x1k, Steel x1k, Gunpowder x1k.]

[Ding!]

[Congratulations on repelling the Newbie Village BOSS. Rewards will be distributed after the mission ends.]

The two consecutive system sounds gave Chen Fan a jolt.

“Is it going to end?”

He widened his eyes, looking at the sea ahead in disbelief.

Sure enough, the tentacle BOSS really had disappeared.

The other Players also noticed this, and a thunderous cheer erupted in the regional chat.

“Praise the Huaxia Big Shot! Huaxia Big Shot, you are my god!”

“Waaaah, Mom, I survived!”

“Call me Mommy, call me Mommy.”

“Person upstairs, no male mommies allowed.”

earth burrowing ship: “Everyone, don't let your guard down. Now we're like the other sectors; we have to face this 'boss'.”

small boat: “Boss? Heh, this piece of junk dares to call itself a boss?”

What to Eat for Breakfast No. 1: “Wahahaha, my patrol boat upgrade is complete! A Gatling, it actually has a Gatling!”

“Mine's finished upgrading too. I started the upgrade after the last wave of rewards.”

“So weird, six hours had clearly passed a long time ago, but it only finished the upgrade for me now.”

“That's not even an issue. Brothers, fire!”

“Da-da-da! Gatling, kill them for me!”

After a moment of silence, he decided to give up the idea of helping them farm Gunpowder.

After all, his Talent was too special and shouldn't be exposed.

Chen Fan turned his gaze to the left, looking at his ammunition bag.

[Bullets: 0.]

[Torpedoes: 0.]

[Depth Charges: 362.]

Turning right, he looked at the resource bar.

[High-grade Steel: 1666.]

[High-purity Gunpowder: 1888.]

Well, I've become a pauper.

Chen Fan curled his lips helplessly and opened the group chat.

“Quick, hand over your resources!”
