177: Chapter 177 This isn't sniping, it's just lining up to give away points!
"You... you..."
Zhang Kuang pointed at Jiang You, his finger trembling non-stop, unable to say a complete sentence for a long time.
"What 'you'?"
At this moment, a figure with extremely blinding reflections blocked in front of Zhang Kuang.
Gou Fugui.
This logistical head steward of Class F stood with his back straight at this moment.
He was thin, wearing a slightly oversized school uniform, with a pair of delicate gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Behind the lenses, his eyes, which were always squinted, flashed with a shrewd gleam that made people's hearts jump.
In his hand, he held the calculator that had just been kicked away by Zhang Kuang and picked up and wiped clean by Jiang You. His fingers pressed rapidly, making a crisp "da da da" sound.
"Senior Zhang Kuang, let's settle the bill."
Gou Fugui pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his tone as calm as a heartless toll collector:
"You previously broke the display screen of my calculator. Depreciation fee plus emotional damages, that'll be five hundred."
"You insulted our Class F, causing Student Su Nuonuo and me to suffer great trauma to our young hearts. Psychological therapy fee, three thousand per person."
"And Student Mo Wu..."
Gou Fugui pointed at Mo Wu, who was still drawing circles in the corner:
"Because he was ignored by you, his sense of presence has decreased further. Now, if he doesn't use a megaphone to speak, no one can hear him. This counts as a severe work-related injury! Compensation is ten thousand!"
"In summary, I'll round it off. That'll be twenty thousand! We support QR code transfers. Installment payments carry a twenty percent interest rate."
The whole scene was silent.
Everyone stared, dumbfounded, at this profiteer who was as thin as a bamboo pole.
He was crying just a moment ago, but now that Jiang You won, he transformed immediately?
This isn't settling accounts; this is fortune-telling!
Calculating how many lives Zhang Kuang has left to pay for this!
Zhang Kuang was so angry he nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood: "You damn... are you trying to extort me?"
"Extort?"
Gou Fugui sneered, his lenses flashing with a cold light. He stepped aside, revealing Jiang You, who was loosening his wrists behind him.
Jiang You still had that sleepy look, just glancing at Zhang Kuang indifferently before asking Gou Fugui:
"Fugui, isn't twenty thousand too little?"
"I think Senior Zhang's worth is at least fifty thousand, right? After all, he's a Tier 4 expert. Even if he's just getting beaten up, he's still a Tier 4 punching bag. Charging more is reasonable, right?"
"Makes sense!"
Gou Fugui immediately changed his tune, his fingers madly pressing on the calculator:
"Then it's fifty thousand! One cent less, and I'll have our captain spar with you again in the virtual battlefield!"
Looking into Jiang You's deep blue eyes, Zhang Kuang trembled all over. The fear of being dominated just now flooded back into his heart.
"I'll pay! I'll pay, okay!"
Zhang Kuang gritted his teeth and tearfully took out his phone to scan the code.
Compared to being slaughtered by that monster again, this bit of money is nothing!
"Beep! Five thousand yuan received!"
Listening to that pleasant notification sound, the smile on Gou Fugui's face blossomed instantly. Even though the temple of his glasses was still broken, it didn't affect his wretched "profiteer who succeeded" aura at this moment.
He spun the calculator in his hand and gave Jiang You a thumbs up:
"Brother Jiang! Awesome!"
"Let's split this money 80-20! You get eighty, I get twenty! This is your appearance fee!"
Jiang You looked excited, estimating with Gou Fugui how much they had raked in this time.
After dealing with the farce here, Jiang You's gaze crossed the crowd and looked to the other side of the rest area.
There stood seven or eight senior students wearing the same Class A uniform.
Everyone's aura was not weak, at least at the peak of Tier 3, and there were even two at the early Tier 4.
When Zhang Kuang was humiliating Class F just now, this group was watching the joke from the side.
Now that Zhang Kuang had been insta-killed, their faces were so gloomy they could drip water.
"What?"
Jiang You put his hands in his pockets and lifted his chin slightly. That arrogant aura belonging to the "Faceless Man" was slowly manifesting on him.
"Seniors, you're not happy with what you see, right?"
"Do you feel that I slapped Class A in the face and want to get back at me?"
Among that group, the long-haired boy leading them snorted coldly and walked out.
He was the vice-monitor of Class A's junior year, Li Ao.
"Jiang You, leave some leeway for others."
Li Ao stared at Jiang You, his eyes sinister:
"You do have some ability. Being able to insta-kill Zhang Kuang shows your explosive power is very strong."
"But don't forget, this is the Seed Pool 2! This is the battle for the top fifty!"
"We in Class A have more than just Zhang Kuang here!"
"You want to take on our entire Class A by yourself?"
Li Ao pointed to the companions behind him, and then to the other class experts eyeing them covetously nearby:
"Do you believe that if we join forces to snipe you, even if you work yourself to death today, you won't even dream of advancing to Pool 1!"
This was a naked threat.
Using the matching mechanism to conduct a war of attrition!
A person's mental energy is limited. No matter how strong Jiang You is, continuous high-intensity combat will exhaust his mental energy!
When that happens, anyone can just pick up the scraps and kick him out!
Hearing this, everyone from Class F changed their expressions.
"Despicable!" Su Nuonuo was so angry she hoisted her rocket launcher, ready to smash someone.
However, Jiang You smiled. He smiled very happily, even a bit impatiently.
"A war of attrition?"
Jiang You licked his lips, his eyes flashing with excitement:
"That's great."
"I was just worried that fighting one by one was too slow and I wouldn't make it in time for dinner."
Jiang You turned around and walked straight to the battle pod, leaving everyone with an extremely arrogant back:
"Since you are all so united..."
"Then come at me together."
"I'm in a rush. Can I trouble you... to line up? Even giving away kills requires efficiency!"
"Arrogant!!"
Li Ao was so angry he was trembling all over.
"Brothers! No need to hold back!"
"Whoever can take this kid down today, I'll offer one hundred thousand Daxia coins as a reward!"
"Enter the pods! Snipe him!"
Following Li Ao's order, the seven or eight experts from Class A, as well as a few strong players from other classes who wanted to jump on the bandwagon, rushed toward the battle pods.
They were going to use human wave tactics to swamp this ignorant Class F salted fish to death!
Inside the virtual battlefield.
Jiang You looked at the names constantly jumping on the matchmaking interface, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Since you want to play, I'll play with you."
"Just right..."
Jiang You clenched his fists, feeling the power inside him that was slightly restless from absorbing too many supplements:
"Just right to use you to aid my digestion!"
...
[Match successful! Class A, Wang Lei (Tier 3 Peak, Lightning Element)]
"Jiang You! Die!"
As soon as Wang Lei entered the arena, without a word, lightning flared over his entire body, turning into a bolt of lightning as he charged straight at Jiang You.
"Too slow."
Jiang You activated the Eye of Tianshu.
That violent thunder was, in his eyes, nothing more than a few slightly brighter lines.
He just tilted his head slightly, avoiding the lightning, then extended a finger glowing with blue light, tapping lightly on Wang Lei's numbing nerve.
"Thump!"
The Lightning Mage who was so majestic just a moment ago instantly convulsed all over, falling to the ground foaming at the mouth.
"Next."
Second match... third match... fourth match...
The entire rest area of Seed Pool 2 gradually turned from anger to fear, and finally to numbness.
The Class A crowd who had originally clamored to exhaust Jiang You with a war of attrition were now all slumped in the battle pods, doubting life, as if they had just been fished out of the water.
Li Ao, as the organizer, was even more of a miserable sight.
He was the last one to go.
He thought that after the consumption of the previous few rounds, Jiang You should be tired by now; even if his mental energy wasn't exhausted, his reaction speed should have slowed down.
As a result...
After he entered, he didn't even see Jiang You's face.
He just saw two deep blue beams of light, like the gaze of death, piercing directly through his strongest defensive spirit skill!
At that moment, he finally understood.
What they were facing was not some martial artist who needed to expend physical strength.
It was... a cheater!
A cheater with infinite energy who could see through every flaw!
"This... how the hell is this supposed to be fought?"
