Apocalypse Circular

Chapter 189: The First Game’s BUG (Request for full subscription)

The Student suddenly spread his arms, his hands transforming into scythes that pierced the Miner’s back.Four sharp teeth emerged from his mouth. He bit directly into the Miner’s head and tore forcefully.

SPURT!

Bright red blood splattered across the room! The Miner, now torn in half, fell to the ground.

A top-tier Second Tier professional, even with the abilities of his game identity, couldn’t last a single round against the Student.

The Student’s strength was truly astonishing.

After killing the Miner, he reached out, grabbed the Miner’s body, and threw it out the window, tossing it right before the blacksmith shop’s entrance.

This way, if Lu Luo returned, he would immediately spot the Miner’s body.

The reason was simple: his identity was Student, and a student’s ability is to learn.

However, this wasn’t normal learning; it was absorbing the abilities of the dead.

Therefore, he needed the Butler to burn other players’ corpses for him to gain sufficient strength.

The Student’s body gradually returned to normal. He dusted off his hands, a somewhat panicked and neurotic smile on his face.

"Miss Thief, where are you? I get scared when I’m all alone."

Perhaps because the window was open, a gust of wind blew through, carrying the lingering blood mist far away.

The Thief, who had witnessed everything, covered her mouth, desperately trying not to scream!

She had to leave this place. She absolutely had to. But she couldn’t make a sound while escaping, or she would die!

Monsters! The whole manor is filled with monsters! How can the second round of the game be this difficult? There isn’t a single normal person here!

...

In the garden, the battle between the Butler and the Gardener continued.

Lu Luo dodged the flying shears with a limp.

His grappling hook shot out instantly, latching onto the nearby giant, but his strength was clearly no match for his opponent’s.

The Cyclops tugged on Lu Luo’s chain, pulling him closer step by step.

[Cyclops – Gardener, Third Tier Humanoid Species, Strength 90, Agility 30, Constitution 55. Ability: Control garden plants.]

After securing the hook to a tree in the garden, the one-eyed Gardener charged toward Lu Luo.

Each step caused the ground to tremble with a THUD, THUD sound.

Seeing the Cyclops charging straight at him, Lu Luo wasn’t too panicked.

Such low-Agility Exotic Species, despite appearing powerful in some aspects, always suffered a severe disadvantage in speed.

Lu Luo slightly lowered his center of gravity, readying an attack stance.

The cane sword had no blade, so it could only thrust. Moreover, without Qi He, he definitely couldn’t kill the giant before him under normal circumstances.

However, he could use Sequence Value, and he had also figured out a way to use it as a temporary substitute for Qi He.

FIZZ!

Blue-white electrical sparks constantly arced from Lu Luo’s cane.

This was a new technique the Fusioner had deduced based on Lu Luo’s current swordsmanship abilities.

Lightning Flash.

In an instant!

Stimulated by the lightning, Lu Luo’s body suddenly accelerated, charging toward the Cyclops.

The cane in his hand, true to the technique’s name, Lightning Flash, unleashed no Sword Qi, only a pure energy thrust.

A strike exceeding Lu Luo’s speed limit shot forth, and the eye on the Cyclops’s forehead burst in response!

POP!

The speed of this move was incredible. Lu Luo could hardly imagine its effect once his Qi He was restored.

However, the powerful lightning-induced acceleration also caused Lu Luo to collide hard with the Cyclops.

A Strength of 90. Even with all his attributes and talents, Lu Luo was still far outmatched.

THUD!

The dull impact felt as if his ribs were about to shatter.

Without Qi He, accelerating and turning sharply without proper braking is quite troublesome, especially against such immensely strong Exotic Species!

Qi He wasn’t just for acceleration and amplifying strength.

It also excelled at deceleration and defense, performing perfectly in every aspect. This was the Hunter’s most balanced method of energy utilization.

Lu Luo grunted from the impact but didn’t stop his assault.

This creature is already blinded. If I don’t seize this chance to finish it off, it will only become more troublesome.

The Cyclops swung its fists wildly, but Lu Luo, in Overclock Mode, wasn’t afraid of such clumsy attacks.

With over 20 Agility and a superior field of view, Lu Luo dodged and weaved, remaining untouched by the Cyclops.

Finding an opening, he kicked the Cyclops Gardener’s knee.

BANG!

Although the kick didn’t break its bone, the Cyclops, reeling from the immense force, stumbled and fell.

Lu Luo didn’t remain idle. He dashed towards the Cyclops and stomped on the Gardener’s ankle.

This made it impossible for the Cyclops to maintain its balance. Its hands hit the ground, leaving it defenseless.

Seizing the opportunity, Lu Luo struck with his cane, viciously plunging it into the Cyclops Gardener’s chest.

AAARGH! The Cyclops screamed again, its face contorting hideously. The already burst eye fell from its head, only for a new one to grow in its place.

Just as the Cyclops regained its vision and was about to grab Lu Luo, an electric current from its chest paralyzed it, rendering it immobile.

ZIZZ!

For a moment, both were locked in place. Lu Luo’s limited electrical power was rapidly depleting.

However, Lu Luo wasn’t too worried about a battle of attrition; he could hold out until White Snake arrived.

Besides, he had a feeling White Snake would arrive soon.

The Cyclops rolled its eye, and the surrounding trees began to extend their branches toward Lu Luo.

Vines and roots began to entangle Lu Luo, tugging at the arm holding his cane. Lu Luo an extra 500 Tokens.

Well, actually, his share amounted to 1.9 times the original value. He had agreed to give her 5% of the doubled sum, so 5% it would be. He was always a man of his word and prided himself on being reasonable. (Truth be told, it felt more like a 1.95-fold gain overall.)

Next, he just had to clear out the manor and find as many treasures as possible.

Then, he would reap an unprecedentedly huge reward! This would allow him to rescue Qiao Xiao Mi in a single game round and still have a significant surplus.

As for finding the Accountant after getting out, there was no need to worry.

Actually, there was no need to look. The big screen would announce the number one player of the round!

Just like it had for him in the previous round; that was also part of the game’s rules.

Still, Lu Luo would prepare some precautions, like poison!

Couldn’t win a fight? Poison them. Unsure of the outcome? Poison them. Many enemies? Mass poisoning. Few enemies? Poison for a sneak attack.

Basically, poison was the answer to everything.

Only by using poison could he ensure his hostage was secure. Only with poison could he relax even slightly.

Lu Luo had White Snake scan the garden to confirm there were no other Exotic Species nearby before leaving the Accountant deep within it.

Then, he picked up an exquisite flowerpot from the center of the garden and placed it before the Accountant.
