Chapter 151 The “Unmedicated” State

Previously, during his fight with Doomsday Assault, Feng Bujue had already sensed that something was slightly off about his opponent. Now, through this embarrassing (at least Jue-Ge himself wasn't embarrassed) probing, Jue-Ge could basically confirm...that at least these two members of the Corpse Blade First Squad that he'd encountered were playing the game in a "stopped taking the meds" state.

Although Jue-Ge didn't know why this was, nor was he sure if it had anything to do with his visit to "Jiang Daode" tonight, he was very clear that this was undoubtedly a huge advantage for Hell's Front.

"Heh...compared to their usual performance in those match recordings...the force of their attacks is obviously beyond the average, and the angles and timing of their attacks...also have a certain degree of deviation." Feng Bujue coldly watched Xian Ye Wei Wang, who was flying towards him, and thought to himself, "Anyone can tell that he hasn't adapted to playing the game in a state where the drugs have worn off...his fine control over his body is simply a mess, and he doesn't even realize it..."

As he pondered, the other party's blade arrived.

"I say...Captain Xian Ye..." Jue-Ge continued to chat with the other party in a relaxed tone while traversing horizontally on the wall and dodging the blade, "Did you forget something before you logged in today?"

"What are you referring to?" Xian Ye Wei Wang responded as he stood on the wall. Although his first strike had missed, he immediately rotated the greatsword in his hand in a half-circle, seamlessly connecting to the follow-up move.

Ping ping ping—

Seeing this, Feng Bujue took half a step horizontally and raised the military shovel with one arm, facing his opponent sideways as if playing fencing, using the military shovel flexibly to block the opponent's slashes, retreating as he fought.

"Oh? Could it be that you..." Jue-Ge paused, then continued with a smile, "You still haven't realized...that you are different from usual at this moment?"

As soon as these words came out, Xian Ye Wei Wang's expression changed slightly, "Oh? You're talking about...the limited power of active skills, right?" It seemed that he had misunderstood, "No need to remind me...I noticed it a long time ago." As he spoke, the greatsword in his hand gained even more speed, "If I'm not mistaken...Doomsday Assault, who died not long ago, was killed by you in this very place, right? Presumably...he failed to notice this in time, and that's why he fell for your scheme."

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Bujue had been forced to the end of the wall, and seeing that there was nowhere to stand behind him, Jue-Ge simply shook his wrist, exerted force, and thrust out a shovel, forcing his opponent back a bit, creating half a step of distance for himself.

Immediately afterward, Feng Bujue twisted his body and landed in the open space outside the courtyard.

"Regarding the cause of death of your teammate, you guessed correctly, but...I'm referring to something else..." After landing, Feng Bujue thought for a moment, then took out a pistol from his bag.

【Name: Stellar Cooling Cannon (Not!)】

【Type: Weapon】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Attack Power: None】

【Attribute: None】

【Effect: Let your target calm down a bit (Contains one gallon of "ammunition," which will automatically refill at a slow rate after being used up, taking about two hours to fill from empty to full)】

【Equipment Requirements: Shooting Specialization D, Machinery Specialization D】

【Note: Whether in terms of appearance or function, this is a toy water gun that looks very cheap. Although its water inlet is sealed, considering its self-filling characteristic, that doesn't seem to be a big problem.

Chemical tests have shown that the ammunition fired from this gun is just ordinary water, but for some reason, creatures hit by it will become slow in their movements for a certain period of time. The specific duration and effect of the slowdown depend on the size of the target.

ps: We have already fired the programmer who designed this item because he always gave his designed items exaggerated names.】

This pistol, which was very similar in appearance to a children's toy, was one of the rewards Feng Bujue obtained during the preliminary round (random excellent-grade equipment *2, perfect-grade equipment *1); he had naturally experimented with the actual effect of this gun, and overall...it wasn't very strong.

The reason why Jue-Ge didn't throw this thing into the pulverizer and even carried it with him...was mainly because he valued the gun's "water-producing" function. He felt that in some scenarios, he might be able to use this gun's characteristic of "producing one gallon of clean water every two hours."

And now, in this melee combat where everyone is not relying on skills, this thing might be of some use.

"...Since you haven't noticed, then I'll just say it directly." After taking out the gun, Feng Bujue continued from what he said earlier, "Captain Xian Ye...have you noticed that your expressions and emotional fluctuations have become richer today?"

He made it so clear, and the other party finally realized.

"Could it be..." At this point, the captain of the Corpse Blades belatedly exclaimed in his heart, "That's right! I knew something was wrong...the drugs seem to have worn off!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look sharply at Jue-Ge, thinking to himself, "Wait...how did this guy see through it?"

After a few seconds of thinking, Xian Ye Wei Wang thought of the reason, "Hmm...I understand...since my teammates and I used the drugs together, they must have worn off together; from this, it can be known that Doomsday Assault, who fought Feng Bujue before, was probably in the same state as me. Presumably...Feng Bujue saw some clues from Doomsday Assault, and then used that 'singing mountain songs' behavior just now to probe me, thereby confirming that the effects of the drugs on me have also been lost..."

While thinking about these things, Xian Ye Wei Wang had already chased down from the wall. Taking advantage of the downward momentum, his greatsword came again, cutting through the wind.

"Hmph...Captain Feng." Xian Ye Wei Wang did not forget to continue while attacking, "Although I don't know why this is...but honestly, isn't this a good thing?"

As he spoke, his figure moved swiftly, and another round of rapid attacks came.

The force of the blade stirred up the wind, and the sword style was extremely fierce. For a time, Xian Ye Wei Wang shrouded his opponent in a cloud of sword light again.

After Corpse Blade Wei Wang retired, although Corpse Blade Studio had not yet determined a new ace, in terms of strength...that person should be Xian Ye Wei Wang. Regardless of whether he was medicated or not, his hard strength was still there. Purely in terms of physical skills, Xian Ye Wei Wang was also top-notch.

"Oh? How do you mean?" Feng Bujue dodged left and right, retreating step by step, but the tone of his reply was still calm and composed.

"This way..." Xian Ye Wei Wang sneered, "Even if I defeat you, you will have nothing to say, right?"

"Ha! Hahahaha..." Feng Bujue laughed wildly when he heard this, then suddenly restrained his smile and said in a deep voice, "You're thinking too much."

The next second, a series of biu~biu~biu (that's right, that's the sound the 【Stellar Cooling Cannon (Not!)】 makes when it shoots) sounds were heard, and Jue-Ge opened fire (opened water?).

It wasn't as if Xian Ye Wei Wang had no defenses. When he saw the other party take out the gun, he had thought about how to dodge, but...he didn't expect that the gun would shoot water.

Unlike the fleeting linear trajectory of bullets...the trajectory of a water gun is continuous and will drag downwards. Avoiding getting hit by a single drop is actually more difficult than dodging bullets.

"Crap!" At the moment when he was hit by the water column, Xian Ye Wei Wang panicked a little because he instinctively thought it was a corrosive liquid, but two seconds later...he found that there was no pain coming from his body and his survival value didn't seem to be decreasing either, "Huh? This is?" However, he quickly discovered what the effect of these liquids was, "Tch... 'slow down,' huh..."

"That's right, it's a slow down." Feng Bujue shot continuously with one hand holding the gun, and counterattacked with the military shovel in the other, "To take you down...this is enough."

"Absurd..." Xian Ye Wei Wang wasn't flustered when he saw the other party counterattack, and immediately gathered his breath, sheathed his sword, and mustered a move—【One Slash Sweeps the Mountain】.

Although the power of the skill had been reduced a lot, Xian Ye Wei Wang's sword styles were domineering and incredibly powerful, even the weakened version was enough to be worth a C-level skill.

"Absurd?" Jue-Ge said this as he dodged the other party's move and appeared behind Xian Ye Wei Wang.

"Wh..." At this moment, Xian Ye Wei Wang felt fear. His pupils contracted, his heart rate accelerated...he hadn't experienced the feeling of his whole body turning cold for a long time in the game.

"It seems you haven't figured out your situation yet." Feng Bujue said, "You thought you'd be fine after stopping the meds?" As he spoke, his military shovel swung towards the other party's back.

There was a "呲" sound...and a long, narrow gash was added to Xian Ye Wei Wang's back.

"Even if people take painkillers regularly, they will develop dependence and aftereffects..." Jue-Ge's words continued, and his attacks didn't stop. The military shovel in his hand kept sweeping towards his opponent, but he just didn't aim for vital points, "From the moment I first saw you, I started observing your actions...obviously, your sense of speed and time has become deviated; and the coordination of your body, the control of explosive power, the measure of exertion, etc., all of these take time to adapt to...you won't be able to adjust in just one or two scenarios."

"Damn it..." Xian Ye Wei Wang parried with difficulty, but he deeply felt a sense of powerlessness. His movements were either too fast or too slow, and it was difficult to be accurate with the angle of his attacks, so that after defending for a long time, he was full of flaws.

"That's why I say..." While Feng Bujue was using the cold weapon to shave people, the water gun in his other hand was also shooting in between gaps, "To take you down...this is enough."

"Enough!" Xian Ye Wei Wang suddenly roared and stopped resisting, "You want to humiliate me in the match? Kill me if you want to kill me!"

At this point, he had already seen that Feng Bujue could have killed him long ago, but the other party deliberately didn't hit him in fatal places.

"Humiliate you?" Feng Bujue narrowed his eyes and laughed twice, "Hehe...I think you misunderstood. First, I don't have that intention, and second, I don't have that interest...I have my reasons for keeping you alive..."

At this point, Jue-Ge even stopped attacking. He sized up the battered and bruised Xian Ye Wei Wang, then smiled, "Alright...that should be enough wounds, so..." He suddenly raised his pistol again and biubiu sprayed all the remaining water inside onto Xian Ye Wei Wang's body, then put away the two weapons, turned around and ran, leaving a sentence as he ran, "...take care of yourself!"

Watching Jue-Ge's departing figure, Xian Ye Wei Wang was completely stunned, "This...what's going on?" He couldn't figure out why his opponent was running, but he didn't have the ability to chase after him and ask what was going on, "Forget it...no matter what he's up to, as long as I'm not dead, there's still a chance...Feng Bujue, I'll make you regret it..."

Xian Ye Wei Wang muttered a few harsh words in his heart, then sat down on the spot and took out survival value supplements and hemostatic bandages from his bag.

For him, who was used to playing the game in a medicated state, even this not-too-exaggerated pain would become very serious due to the contrast...he was almost trembling as he treated the wounds, and he really broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

But despite the pain, his hands and feet were still nimble, and he dealt with most of the bleeding points in less than a minute, but...

"Uh—ah—" Just at this moment, the undulating moans sounded from the surrounding darkness and gradually approached.

"What the hell? Monsters..." Xian Ye Wei Wang immediately stood up, vigilantly looking around, and at the same time, fear...spread quietly in his heart.
