Chapter 14: ３ Enhancement Points

With the curfew in effect, anyone still wandering the streets late at night was definitely not law-abiding. Add to that the fact that this entire block had turned into a river of blood, with gunfire and battle cries echoing throughout, any normal person would have fled long ago.

Therefore, Kamiyu judged that these two individuals were most likely Players of the Black Sphere.

Looking through her scope, Kamiyu was surprised to discover that the two figures hiding in the shadows were none other than A Dong and Da Mao from Huang Kun’s Quartet.

“Why are there only two left? Where did Zhang Wei go? Those four are always inseparable, like conjoined twins.” Kamiyu noted that the player count hadn’t decreased; it was still 11/12.

Kamiyu wondered, had Zhang Wei hidden himself? Or perhaps he had prepared a vehicle, waiting for A Dong and Da Mao to finish their ambush so they could all flee together?

That was possible. She wasn’t in a hurry to locate Zhang Wei’s position. The main battlefield was still Mohawk; her priority was to eliminate that Monster first.

She placed her finger on the trigger, biding her time, waiting for the right moment.

Back to the main battlefield.

A Dong said to Da Mao, “In a moment, I’ll use my Skill to immobilize that Monster. You need to kill Mohawk before that Official idiot Player does.”

“Look at that Official Player desperately trying to get close to Mohawk. Even though we don’t know what her trump card is yet, it means she has a special method that requires close proximity to activate.”

“But this represents an opportunity. We need to Gank Mohawk before she does,” A Dong said.

“Huh? Me? No, no, I can’t do it,” Da Mao said nervously.

“Don’t be such a coward! Brother Kun was instantly killed by that Pink Hair bitch.”

“And that idiot Zhang Wei actually surrendered to the officials. He hasn’t shown up yet, and the player count hasn’t decreased. He’s probably stuffed into an oil drum filled with cement by now.”

“You’re the only one with offensive capability left. If you don’t step up, who will?” A Dong pressured Da Mao.

“But…”

“No buts! How many times have we handled situations like this in the Esports Department? The enemy AD is taking the Baron. We’re the bot lane ADC and Support duo.”

“The enemy hasn’t warded; they don’t know we’re here.”

“All we need to do is pressure them a bit, and the enemy AD will definitely hesitate and back off first.”

“Then, as the Support, I’ll take the chance to Silence the Baron’s Skill, and you, as the ADC, melt the Baron down.”

“If time allows, we might even be able to instantly kill the enemy AD.”

“What are you thinking? This is a perfect offensive situation for us!” A Dong rambled on.

Da Mao remained silent, sweat pouring down his entire body, his shoulders trembling.

“Sigh, if it were Brother Kun, he would have gone in long ago,” A Dong said with frustration.

“Go! This game is time-limited. There are only a little over 60 hours left. Killing them will give us money to buy equipment,” A Dong could only try to tempt him with benefits.

It turned out the Black Sphere offered different kill rewards to other Game Players.

For A Dong and Da Mao, it was a MOBA-style system: kill to earn money to buy equipment.

For Kamiyu, killing earned her Enhancement Points, more akin to an equipment upgrade system.

Not only that, but Xu Liwen, who had already finished her game, could also earn rewards by killing Players outside the game.

She was secretly using official resources to level herself up.

Da Mao, under A Dong’s “coercion and persuasion,” trembled all over before roaring, “Charge, charge, charge!”

“Death is just death, let’s go together!” Da Mao shouted before rushing out.

Xu Liwen was the first to notice the two charging figures. She furrowed her brows tightly—anyone rushing out at this moment didn’t need a closer look to identify; these two were undoubtedly players here to reap the spoils of the battlefield.

Mohawk also noticed the two charging figures. Instead of being alarmed, he laughed heartily and shouted, “Two more pitiful fools here to die!”

“Only three seconds left!” he yelled.

“Stay put!” A Dong shouted, activating his skill 【Immobilize】, forcibly rooting the target in place for six seconds.

Of course, A Dong wasn’t telling the truth—his words were meant for Xu Liwen and Mohawk.

The Black Sphere Game wasn’t just a contest of supernatural talents and skills; it was also a battle of wits. Among these twelve people, almost no one was a fool—except for one.

Upon hearing this, Mohawk immediately flung his flying blades toward A Dong.

But no matter how strong or fast he was, he couldn’t defy the rules of a skill. Mohawk was instantly immobilized, transforming from a moving object into a statue-like figure.

Bullets instantly converged on Mohawk.

“Hurry, now!” A Dong immediately shouted.

Xu Liwen charged forward without hesitation, her speed far surpassing the sluggish Da Mao.

“Cease fire! Don’t hit Captain Xu!” the team members shouted.

Close-range.

Within six steps.

After nearly an hour of battle, Xu Liwen finally approached within six steps of Mohawk for the first time.

Activate talent: Nullification.

Mohawk’s entire body began to change. The black exoskeleton covered in blood and internal organs reverted to ordinary flesh—a disgusting, naked pervert of a man. His two blade-like arms returned to their original form.

Still under the effect of A Dong’s skill, his hands couldn’t retract and instead exploded mid-air. Mohawk lost both arms.

“This is working!” Xu Liwen’s eyes widened instantly. Under her Nullification talent, the monster before her had finally reverted to a human.

At this moment, Mohawk’s Player Panel and Skill Panel both turned gray, meaning he had now reverted to an ordinary human.

Panic surged within him.

I’m going to die, I’m going to die, I’m going to die—I’m actually about to be killed!

No! I haven’t killed enough yet!

Unfortunately, his expression couldn’t shift to one of terror—it remained the same arrogant, fearless look as before.

Under the combined effect of A Dong’s 【Immobilize】 skill and Xu Liwen’s 【Nullification】 talent, the once-invincible Dungeon Boss was nearly slain in an instant.

So this whip-woman’s talent is Nullification, A Dong thought, somewhat regretting his earlier stance. He wanted to join the official side now.

His Immobilize combined with her Nullification would make them an invincible existence.

They could instantly defeat anyone.

Quickly racking his brains, he shouted to Xu Liwen, who was still executing Mohawk, “I surrender! I’m more useful than Zhang Wei! My skill lasts six seconds, not three!”

With that, he picked up a gun from the ground and fired at Da Mao, who had his back turned to him.

He wanted to present a pledge to the official side, and by killing Da Mao first, he could also claim a reward for eliminating an enemy.

“A Dong, you betrayed me!” Da Mao collapsed into a pool of blood.

“What’s going on?”

“Are they fighting among themselves?”

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

Six seconds later, Mohawk, his body riddled with knives, knelt on the ground, about to collapse.

Player Count: 11/12

Just as Xu Liwen was about to sever Mohawk’s head.

On the upper floors of a five-star hotel 10 kilometers away.

A pink-haired girl softly uttered, “Activate Skill 【Headshot Strike】.”

Pulled the trigger.

The bullet fired.

With a “boom.”

The supersonic bullet instantly blew Mohawk’s head apart.

The bullet also shattered the concrete on the ground, embedding itself into the surface.

10/12

Enemy eliminated, gained 1 Enhancement Point.

Within five seconds of Headshot Strike, a headshot is guaranteed. The bullet fired from her Legendary Weapon, the Sniper Rifle, stacks with a 300% damage multiplier. Against a Normal human, Mohawk was dead beyond any doubt.

The people on the street still had no idea what had just happened.

Kamiyu, like a cold-blooded killer, emotionlessly pulled back the bolt, ejected the spent casing, and loaded another bullet.
