Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 79 Entering the game personally
Zhang Yuqing subconsciously sat up straight, focusing intently.

The plan Lin Ye blurted out was very simple.

transaction.

He planned to send Zhang Yuqing alone, carrying these dozen or so roasted spider legs, to exchange them for the exoskeleton armor from the group at Ningbo University of Science and Technology Affiliated High School.

"Why... am I the one who has to go?"

After hearing the plan, Zhang Yuqing's mind went blank, and she subconsciously asked this question.

"Because you are a girl."

“A wounded, beautiful girl, appearing alone before them, seeking help or a deal, is far more likely to lower their guard than a perfectly healthy man like me.”

Zhang Yuqing's cheeks were burning, whether from embarrassment and annoyance or from Lin Ye's comment, "Beautiful."

She stared at the roasted meat wrapped in large leaves that Lin Ye handed her, momentarily lost in thought.

"remember."

"The primary goal is to acquire a floating armor."

"If that doesn't work, we'll settle for second best and get half a day or even a few hours of usage rights."

"If the deal falls through, they'll resort to robbery..."

Lin Ye paused for a moment before continuing.

"Give them the food, save yourselves, and retreat immediately. If the food runs out, you can find more."

Zhang Yuqing's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

She sensed concern in his calm words of advice.

"Don't worry, I'm nearby."

"If we fail, I'm still here."

"They won't dare do anything to you."

That last sentence was like a reassurance, dispelling Zhang Yuqing's last trace of worry.

She took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and the fear in her eyes was replaced by a resolute look.

……

Lin Ye, along with Zhang Yuqing, moved silently like two ghostly figures to the vicinity of the temporary camp of the group from Ningbo University of Science and Technology Affiliated High School.

This is a recessed area of ​​the building surrounded by three broken walls, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At this moment, a campfire was burning in the camp, and seven or eight figures sat around it, the atmosphere oppressive and restless.

"Go."

Lin Ye's voice rang out from behind, carrying a reassuring power.

“I’ll just stand here and watch; they won’t dare break the rules and kill anyone.”

"If you fail, I'll come to your rescue."

Zhang Yuqing took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently.

Without further hesitation, she straightened her somewhat disheveled combat uniform, grabbed the bags of tempting roasted meat, and stepped out of the shadows.

Her appearance instantly shattered the tranquility of the camp.

"who!"

"stop!"

The seven or eight people who were sitting or lying down suddenly tensed up like cats whose tails had been stepped on, and all pointed their weapons at Zhang Yuqing.

A series of wary, scrutinizing, and even aggressive gazes were fixed on her.

Zhang Yuqing's heart raced instantly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her palms.

But she forced herself to calm down and remembered Lin Ye's instructions.

She took off the Listening Rain Sword from her back and gently placed it on the ground. Then she raised her hands high to indicate that she had no weapon.

"I have no ill intentions."

Her voice trembled almost imperceptibly with nervousness.

When Zhang Yuqing took out the roasted meat wrapped in leaves from her bosom and unwrapped one of the packages...

The long-suppressed, explosive aroma instantly wafted out!
"Gulu..."

One could hear the sounds of Adam's apples bobbing and the sounds of swallowing hard.

Everyone in the camp stared wide-eyed!
"Holy crap...it smells so good!"

"What is this? Meat?!"

A boy who was standing nearby even subconsciously took a step forward, his eyes shining as he stared intently at the golden, crispy, and sizzling spider leg in Zhang Yuqing's hand.

"Shut up!"

The tall young man in the lead glared fiercely at his companion who had lost his composure.

Zhou Qiming's gaze fell on Zhang Yuqing. Although he tried his best to hide it, a flame called hunger was burning deep in his eyes as well.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Zhou Qiming asked in a cold voice.

Following Lin Ye's instructions, Zhang Yuqing stated that she was a participant from Dongjiang No. 1 Middle School. She explained that she had gotten separated from her teammates and was hungry and thirsty, hoping to exchange food for their equipment so she could find her teammates.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiming was taken aback for a moment, then let out a sneer.

The people behind him also burst into laughter, as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Little sister, are you out of your mind? You think you can trade a few pieces of rotten roasted meat for our air armor?"

"So adorably innocent!"

The smile on Zhou Qiming's face vanished instantly, replaced by coldness and impatience.

"If you won't change it, get out!"

Zhang Yuqing's face paled slightly, but remembering Lin Ye's instructions, she gritted her teeth and continued, "If we can't exchange, then... borrowing it for half a day, or even a few hours, will do! This food is enough for all of you to have a hearty meal!"

These words caused the mocking expression on Zhou Qiming's face to pause slightly.

He glanced subconsciously at the three silver-gray exoskeleton armors beside him, then at the deadly tempting roasted meat in Zhang Yuqing's hand, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

He exchanged glances with the people around him, and they immediately huddled together and began to talk in hushed tones.

Seeing this, a glimmer of hope ignited in Zhang Yuqing's heart.

Have a show?

However, the next second, Zhou Qiming turned his head, a cunning and cruel smile on his face.

Why should we lend it to you?

He took a step closer, looking down at Zhang Yuqing.

"Besides, what you have in your hand is now ours." Zhang Yuqing's heart tightened, and she subconsciously tried to wrap the barbecue meat up again.

Zhou Qiming keenly noticed this action.

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly gave a wink.

Whoa!

The people around her scattered instantly, effectively blocking all of Zhang Yuqing's escape routes.

"What are you trying to do?!" Zhang Yuqing exclaimed.

"Attacks are prohibited in the competition; killing is against the rules!"

"Who said we were going to kill you?"

Zhou Qiming sneered, took a step forward, and looked down at her.

"Little sister, I advise you to be smart and hand over your things, then we'll let you leave safely."

A naked threat!

Zhang Yuqing was so angry that she trembled all over and gritted her teeth.

She remembered Lin Ye's last words.

Food can be found again, but people absolutely cannot be trapped here!
She took a deep breath and threw all the roasted meat in her hands onto the ground.

"Here's the stuff, I'm leaving!"

After saying that, she turned around and left.

"stop."

Zhou Qiming's voice rang out again.

Zhang Yuqing froze, turned around abruptly, and her eyes were filled with vigilance.

Zhou Qiming pointed with his chin at the roasted meat on the ground, his tone carrying an unquestionable command.

"Pick one up."

"you eat first."

"Eat it in front of all of us."

He was still worried.

The timing of the girl's appearance was too coincidental, and the origin of the food was too bizarre.

To be on the safe side, he devised the most reliable method—

Let the other party test the poison themselves.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuqing's face instantly turned bright red, and a huge sense of humiliation welled up in her heart.

But looking into Zhou Qiming's unquestionable eyes and at the menacing crowd around her, she knew she had no choice.

She bent down, picked up a spider leg that was still warm, and took a humiliating bite in front of everyone.

The first bite was humiliating.

But when the crispy outer shell cracks between your teeth, revealing the snow-white, plump, and uniquely fragrant tender meat that comes into contact with your taste buds...

An indescribable deliciousness swept through her entire body like an electric current!
good to eat!

Absolutely delicious!
An unprecedented hunger erupted from my stomach like a volcano!
She hasn't eaten anything all day!
Faced with extreme hunger and exquisite taste, all humiliation and reason were instantly cast aside.

Her mind went blank, leaving only the instinct to eat.

The second bite, the third bite...

She was like a little animal that hadn't eaten for three days, hugging that spider leg and wolfing it down in a frenzy!
This scene left Zhou Qiming and his companions completely dumbfounded.

Is this stuff really that delicious?

The next moment, before Zhou Qiming could speak, one of his closest companions could no longer hold back. With a strange cry, he pounced on the meat like a hungry tiger and stuffed it into his mouth!
"Mmm...delicious! It's fucking delicious!"

With one person taking the lead, the rest instantly lost control and swarmed forward!

"Leave some for me!"

Zhou Qiming cursed and, disregarding his boss's composure, joined the fray for food.

A few minutes later.

Satisfied, the group collapsed to the ground, burping contentedly, their faces beaming with happiness.

Everyone was so focused on grabbing food that no one paid any attention to Zhang Yuqing.

Zhang Yuqing took advantage of the chaos and ran outside.

At that moment, Zhou Qiming saw Zhang Yuqing stagger a few steps away, then her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

This scene instantly alerted Zhou Qiming, who had just finished eating and was still a little groggy!
poisonous!

The thought flashed through his mind like lightning!
He suddenly tried to stand up.

However, the next second.

An irresistible wave of fatigue and drowsiness washed over me.

His eyelids felt incredibly heavy, and a tingling, limp feeling spread through his limbs and bones, leaving him completely powerless.

He watched helplessly as his companions collapsed to the ground one by one, emitting even snores.

"you you……"

With his last ounce of strength, he pointed in the direction where Zhang Yuqing had fallen, but his consciousness was rapidly sinking into the abyss of darkness.

Zhou Qiming cursed, but his voice was weak and feeble, like a leaky bellows.

"Damn it, they tricked me..."

He wanted to stand up.

But what surged through my limbs and bones was not strength, but a deep-seated weakness and weariness.

My eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

The whole world was spinning, and the light from the campfire stretched into blurry streaks of light.

"Move...move!"

With his last breath, he roared at his companions.

"Don't let her get away!"

However, he was met with several heavy, contented snores.

His companions, who had just been full of energy, were now lying sprawled on the ground, sleeping like dead pigs, with a wistful smile still lingering on their lips.

The world in Zhou Qiming's eyes had fallen into complete darkness.
