Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Looking around, because she was only level 3, even though her skills had given her some extra attribute boosts, Yukino Yukinoshita's intelligence attribute was only 13 points.

With her reconnaissance skills banned, Yukino Yukinoshita can only rely on her simple reconnaissance abilities to be vigilant about everything around her. While other players are still exploring the world, Yukino Yukinoshita safely and gradually approaches the residence of this identity.

Until the very last corner, after turning the corner, Yukino Yukinoshita saw a man.

In the sweltering heat of midsummer, he wore long sleeves with a gloomy look in his eyes, his left hand hidden under the sleeve, just like Yukino Yukinoshita wearing gloves.

Now, he also looked at Yukino Yukinoshita and smiled.

Time seemed to stand still as they stared at each other's weaknesses, neither making a further move.

Because they were hearing a creaking sound coming from beside them, the sound of the training wheels of a child's bicycle.

Rule 6: The Holy Grail War must be conducted in secrecy, meaning that ordinary people must not be aware of the extraordinary nature of the Holy Grail.

Note: Violating this rule will result in you being eliminated from combat with a rating of E for the current game, and the next game will be accelerated and will definitely be in penalty mode.

No one dared to break rule 6, and as the child moved away, Yukino Yukinoshita also retreated.

This is a battle between seven people, and no one would want to use a Command Seal with only three strokes in this situation.

Without using Command Seals, Yukino Yukinoshita's five attributes lean towards intelligence and agility, so it's easy to know that she would have a hard time beating the fierce-looking man in front of her.

He knew this too, and moved closer to Yukino Yukinoshita, using words to pressure her nerves, "Judging from your appearance, you should still be a college student. College students are like this. When they get attribute points, they don't think about adding strength and constitution to improve their survival ability, but always think about adding charm and intelligence."

"However, this also makes me very afraid that you might summon some powerful heroic spirit and kill me like a chicken a few days later. Could you please leave here first?"

According to the rules of this mission mode, players can only leave the game if they summon a Heroic Spirit and the Heroic Spirit dies. The man said it was troublesome, but he actually just wanted to eliminate a competitor before Yukino Yukinoshita summoned a Heroic Spirit.

Chapter 150 Collapse~

"There is absolutely no need to start a war now. If you want to kill me, I will also use Command Seal Unsealing Items to fight you without hesitation."

"In order to counter the unbalanced power, you can only use Command Seals to unseal your own items. In this case, no matter who wins this battle, there is absolutely no chance of winning in the subsequent battles."

Yukino Yukinoshita explained to him, relying on the delicate balance maintained by the ordinary people present.

The man just chuckled and tilted his head, asking in confusion, "So what?"

"Command Seals, Command Seals!"

"A Command Seal with only three strokes!"

"I bet you'd never use a Command Spell on an ordinary guy like me unless you were in a life-threatening situation, pretending to be rational and thinking about gains and losses."

The man pulled back his sleeve, revealing three Command Seals on the back of his left hand, and pointed at Yukino Yukinoshita, arrogantly saying, "How about a bet? I bet I'll kill you the moment you hesitate about using a Command Seal!"

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't reply. She was pondering whether this player was truly insane or just pretending to be.

The man looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, stopped approaching, and calmly said, "As a player, stop backing down. Rule 6 of Paradise only says that ordinary people cannot become aware of the extraordinary. If you continue to evade this battle, then I will have no choice but to use ordinary methods to kill this child to force you..."

"...What do you think about snapping his neck with sheer force, like Bear Grylls in a survival movie, grabbing an insect, cutting off its head and tail, and eating it with a satisfying crunch, like beef...I dream of filming a documentary with him about taming nature..."

The man's face flushed as if he were talking about something exciting, showing a perverted look that he meant what he said.

The child riding with training wheels didn't understand what they were saying and rode carefree toward the intersection, while Yukino Yukinoshita stopped at the corner.

"They're just ordinary people from another world, why bother with them? Let's just use our agility to escape here and blend into the crowd to avoid this pointless battle!"

The solution is simple, but if she were willing to do that, she wouldn't be called Yukino Yukinoshita.

As he requested, Yukino Yukinoshita did not retreat to find the crowd to escape this inexplicable battle, but instead adopted the starting stance of Aikido.

Even without any special skills, the ancient martial art of Aikido that she had learned had long since become one with the ordinary Aikido she had learned in her hobby class.

“You made a mistake. I’m more than willing to use my precious Command Seals on a scumbag like you!” Yukino Yukinoshita said to him.

"This is right..."

Once the boy was out of their sight and the alley was deserted, Yukino Yukinoshita and the man rushed toward each other and began to clash!

Yukino Yukinoshita's movements were fluid and graceful, showcasing the full range of Aikido techniques.

The man responded with Bajiquan, his fists were fierce and powerful, each move accompanied by the sound of wind breaking.

The two instantly closed in on each other. Yukino Yukinoshita dodged the man's straight punch by sidestepping, and at the same time grabbed the man's arm, trying to throw him to the ground.

The key to Aikido is to cut into the opponent's blind spot and disrupt their center of gravity, mainly using joint locks and throws.

Instead of attacking the opponent with brute force, one guides the opponent's power in a non-threatening direction, or even absorbs it and transforms it into one's own power to counterattack.

The idea itself is not wrong, but the man has at least experienced three games. Perhaps in front of Jolyne, he is just a random NPC who can be instantly killed by overwhelming attribute.

However, compared to Yukino Yukinoshita, whose attributes are even lower, she is already a formidable enemy that is difficult to defeat.

The attempt to disrupt the center of gravity failed; as he said, the man's strength and physique attributes were the focus of dedicated stat allocation and training.

He struggled free from Yukino Yukinoshita's grasp, then immediately launched an elbow strike towards her face. Yukino Yukinoshita nimbly leaned back, dodging the blow, and followed up with a kick aimed at the man's knee. The man quickly sidestepped, blocking the kick with his arm…

The battle continued, with both sides exchanging blows and kicks, and neither side made the first move to use a Command Seal.

However, Yukino Yukinoshita already felt powerless. Aikido is not good at taking the initiative to attack. It is more used to defend and counterattack by taking advantage of the opponent's weaknesses. It works well against opponents who are slightly inferior to you, but against strong enemies, who will have weaknesses for you to seize?

The man's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and Yukino Yukinoshita could only defend and dodge. Despite her best efforts to counterattack, every attack was neutralized by the man.

Her breathing became rapid, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Yukino's forehead.

"Is this guy truly insane or just pretending? If he's really insane, why doesn't he use Command Seals since he can't defeat me quickly? His insane personality doesn't involve such stinginess... If he's just pretending, why is he so indifferent to some attacks, even willing to trade injuries for injuries? His recovery potions are also sealed, as if he's certain he won't participate in the subsequent battles. The logic doesn't make any sense. This guy must have some other secret!"

Once again, she was knocked back by the man's punches and kicks. Just then, an ordinary person passed by, giving Yukino Yukinoshita a moment to catch her breath.

"To observe Yukina, we must look beyond the surface to see the essence of her actions."

"Since the logic is flawed, let's just assume that everything he does is a disguise."

"Let's assume his crazy, deranged, and murderous demeanor is all a facade!"

"As for the reason for the disguise?"

"To convince me he's a psychopath, if I run away from this fight, he'll definitely attack ordinary people and force me to stay here?"

"That sounds reasonable. Now that he's a meticulous player, let's re-examine everything he does with that mindset."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the Command Seal pattern on the man's left hand and found the greatest sense of separation.

"A madman might deliberately roll up his sleeves to display his Command Seals to express his personality, while a meticulous person would rather hide everything about himself and only reveal what he wants his enemy to know!"

"The sleeves that were pulled back in front of me revealed the Command Seals, and he pretended to be completely indifferent, but he never used them."

Yukino Yukinoshita has thought it through.

"The gesture of revealing the Command Seal is to give me a psychological suggestion, so that I won't doubt the true identity of the person in front of me!"

"This man isn't a real player at all, so the controller doesn't care about his life! This body also can't use Command Seals!"

"Real players have already used Command Seals to unlock a certain item or piece of equipment."

"Then the real players should appear..."

The passing madam separated Yukino Yukinoshita from the man's battlefield. As she passed through the middle, Yukino Yukinoshita saw the man opposite her make a mouth shape.

That is!

"Bang~"

Meanwhile, on a distant high-rise building, a gloomy man took an elevator to the top floor, holding a sniper rifle that had already been assembled.

One eye controlled the puppet, while the real player pulled the trigger towards Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Bang~"

Chapter 151 You Are My Master

"Atram Gariasta".

"How lucky I am! The park actually gave me the identity of a rich person."

Looking at Yukino Yukinoshita from the puppet's perspective, Sugo Nobuyuki already imagined the scene of the bullet piercing through her head, starting to spin, the flesh twisting together, and finally exploding into a cloud of blood mist.

Because Rule 6 of this game park clearly states that the extraordinary cannot be revealed to ordinary people, Nobuyuki Sugo felt that the financial power represented by this identity was incredibly useful.

All he had to do was arrange for some ordinary people to follow him around at all times, which was like opening a silent domain, preventing anyone who got close from using any extraordinary means.

Perhaps because of his excellent starting status, Sugo Nobuyuki spent a lot of money, but still couldn't find the summoning item.

Even so, money is more beneficial than harmful in the early stages of the game.

With this safety net in place, Nobuyuki Sugo chose to use a single Command Spell to release a puppet with a custom appearance, preparing to clear the field before other players could summon their Servants.

As for why we release puppets instead of using ordinary people directly?

Please, this is a modern society. What ordinary person can withstand the players' torture? Once exposed, his existence will move from the shadows to the light, and a prestigious identity will become a disadvantage. Nobuyuki Sugo does not believe that no player can bypass the restrictions of Rule 6.

Most importantly, Sugo Nobuyuki is very weak. His ratings for the first two worlds were just below average. As a level 3 player, he has very few excellent skills on his character panel, and his equipment and items are also very poor.

"Instead of waiting until the Heroic Spirits are summoned and then using them to enhance their combat power, why not eliminate other players before the Heroic Spirits are even summoned?"

Sure enough, the puppet with the Command Seal symbol on its left hand spotted the player.

College student?

He is still someone who cares about the lives of ordinary people.

Guys who can't even recognize the amusement park are the perfect appetizer!

“That’s right, you stay there and fight the puppet, while I’ll take the assembled anti-materiel sniper rifle and find the best spot…”

With one eye looking at the puppet's perspective, Nobuyuki Sugo took the elevator to a high-rise building, took out his sniper rifle, and positioned it in the best spot.

"Without skill enhancements, a normal level 3 player wouldn't be able to react to the capabilities of this sniper rifle."

Nobuyuki Sugo pulled the trigger, and his mouth even provided the sound for the shot.

"Bang~"

The madam passing by hurriedly stepped away from the center of Yukino and the puppet. She had originally intended to stay and watch the drama unfold, but looking at the atmosphere around her, she inexplicably felt a chill.

"Since he's not the player himself, then the real player should show up by now..."

Although it was just a guess, Yukino Yukinoshita was no longer going to hesitate, and the torrent of magic power formed by the Command Seal manifested in Fuyuki City, which was just an ordinary city!

"I will use a Command Spell to unseal one of my items - The Kitten Can't Go to Heaven!"

"Bang~" The moment the puppet revealed its mouth, the bullet pierced through the head of the passing madam, and, stained with the blood of the innocent, arrived in front of Yukino Yukinoshita.

A golden cat spirit also emerged from Yukino's ear, and in the face of the extremely fast bullet, it stretched out its paw to swat at it.

Prop - The kitten can't go to heaven

Description: God reached out his hand to the kitten, and the kitten responded with a lightning-fast beating.

Effect: This one-time use item will automatically activate when danger is encountered. While the cat spirit is present, no creature or item can approach it before the user can react.

Even the hand that offers the spicy soup will be met with a painful attack from the cat spirit.

Bonus: Temporarily increases Agility to a level sufficient to avoid this danger.

Conditions for use: Love cats more than God.

Using the prop's effect, Yukino Yukinoshita reacted to the incoming bullet.

Her body veered to one side, and the bullet aimed at her head, thanks to the cat spirit's momentary deflection, grazed Yukino Yukinoshita's shoulder. The smell of blood and flesh filled her nostrils, and her adrenaline surged. Yukino Yukinoshita controlled her body to retreat, dodging the puppet that attacked again.

The golden cat spirit glanced worriedly at Yukino Yukinoshita, then uncontrollably soared into the sky.

"Even though I lost the bet, we didn't have a bet agreement, did we?"

He once said that he would kill Yukino Yukinoshita in the instant she was hesitating about whether to use a Command Seal.

One eye guided the puppet forward, and Nobuyuki Sugo had already locked onto Yukino Yukinoshita once again.

However, this time it was much harder to hit her. With her on guard, Yukino Yukinoshita kept dodging and hiding behind cover.

"I will use a Command Spell to unseal one of my items - the Cat Spirit Bracelet!"

With cat ears and a tail appearing on her body, and thanks to her enhanced physique, agility, and ability to anticipate danger, Nobuyuki Sugo's sniper rifle could no longer lock onto Yukino Yukinoshita's body.

After all, he was just using ordinary sniping techniques, not skills that provided a lock-on bonus.

That shot fired from the shadows was the most promising and sure-win move.
