Chapter 1780

“Missile??”
Lin Qiye’s mouth twitched violently when he saw the flames surging in the sky.
Other concerts have fireworks, but yours has missiles? Does this setting have to be so ridiculous?!
“Amy!”
“Amy!!”
“Amy!!!”
Tens of thousands of fans gathered in the stadium, calling out the name of today’s star in unison. As flames surged across the sky, a graceful figure slowly rose from the center of the stage.
Rhythmic music echoed throughout the venue, and the super-sized screen began flashing images of the beautiful young girl. Amid the wave-like cheers, she held a microphone in one hand and began swaying to the beat.
Her light green plaid skirt danced in the wind, revealing two snow-white, tender thighs. She wore a pristine white button-up shirt, with golden twin-tails hanging down to her waist, looking like a youthful beauty straight out of a manga.
“Hello everyone, I’m iMi, Amy~~”
As the beautiful girl’s crisp voice rang out, the tens of thousands of spectators in the audience immediately began waving their glow sticks like mad, squeezing Lin Qiye and his two companions like weeds in the wind, drifting unsteadily.
“What nonsense is this,” Shen Qingzhu frowned deeply.
“Uncle Guan just likes to set up these weird backgrounds, you’ll get used to it… But don’t be deceived by appearances. We must see through these chaotic, meaningless events to understand their essence,” Youli Tangbai said seriously, his gaze fixed on the beautiful girl on stage.
Lin Qiye also stared at the youthful beauty. The moment his gaze locked onto her, a panel appeared before his eyes:
”
Target: Amy
Health:
Skill 1: [Cute Girl’s Wink]: Through an adorable yet flirtatious wink, causes all hostile targets within visual range who make eye contact to suffer cardiac arrest, instantly removing 100% of their health and entering death state;
Skill 2: [Heart Pose Group Photo]: When the countdown for a group photo appears on the big screen, all targets must gather below the stage to complete a fixed heart pose photo with Amy. Targets not appearing in the photo when the countdown ends will be forcibly imprisoned in the dungeon.
Skill 3: [Security Team Summon]: Summons personal security team to hunt down targets regardless of terrain. After security guards die, they can be resurrected the next time this skill is activated;
Skill 4: [Your Cheers Are My Strength!]: ??? (Unknown);
Skill 5: [Energetic Idol]: ??? (Unknown);
Skill 6: [True Fan Support]: ??? (Unknown)
Skill 7: [???];
”
“What’s with the four unknown skills? Why can’t we see them?”
“It means those four skills are beyond our detection capabilities. We can only get information when she actively uses them,” Youli Tangbai said thoughtfully. “Judging from the health and first three skills, this is a mechanics-based boss…”
“Mechanics-based?”
“Generally, boss battles can be divided into three types: stat-check, skill-check, and mechanics-based.
Stat-check is the simplest. For example, if you have 100 attack and 100 health, while the boss has 10,000 health and 30,000 attack, it can kill a hundred of you with one slap. To defeat such a boss, you must enhance your own stats through various means, or use extremely skilled techniques to compensate for the stat difference.
Skill-check battles occur when the stat difference isn’t too extreme. The boss uses complex combo moves or abilities that force players to fight with skill. This isn’t difficult for me either.
Mechanics-based can be either simple or extremely difficult… This type of boss can ignore any stats or skills, killing through rules. To win against such a boss, you must probe repeatedly to find weaknesses in their mechanics, then exploit them.”
“But from the current skills, killing her doesn’t seem difficult,” Shen Qingzhu narrowed his eyes. “The [Wink] skill looks powerful, but we can avoid it by closing our eyes before she activates it. For the [Group Photo], we just need to gather at the right time, and even if we don’t, we won’t die… As for those [Security Guards], we just need to take them all down.
Amy only has 200 health, while I have 124,000 health and 76,000 attack. If I touch her once, she’ll definitely die.”
“Your health is that high?” Youli Tangbai exclaimed in shock. “I only have 2,001…”
“That’s quite a difference.”
“It’s actually normal. Our current stats are converted from our original physical data. Brother Qingzhu, you were originally a Supreme God, so 120,000 health isn’t exaggerated. I was just a terminally ill human at the peak of humanity, so I only have 2,001 health… no, now it’s only 2,099…”
Youli Tangbai’s health bar decreased imperceptibly, the continuous damage coming from his nearly-dead body. When his health reaches zero, it would mean the end of his life.
“Brother Qiye, how much health do you have?”
Lin Qiye looked at his own status, paused briefly, then fell silent…
“Brother Qiye?”
“Wait, let me count the zeros.” Lin Qiye counted several times, then said with a strange expression, “It seems to be… 1,100,000?”
Youli Tangbai’s mouth opened uncontrollably, and even Shen Qingzhu beside him was full of astonishment.
He knew Lin Qiye’s physical body was tough, but he didn’t expect his digitized health to be so thick… nearly nine times that of himself, a Supreme God!
“But my attack isn’t as high as yours. I only have 34,000,” Lin Qiye said helplessly.
His original body was only at the peak of humanity, so his destructive power was much less than Supreme God Shen Qingzhu. If his Burning Angel avatar had come down instead, it would be different.
“Next, the concert is about to begin~”
Amy stood on stage and gently winked her right eye at the audience below. Seeing this, Lin Qiye and his companions quickly closed their eyes. Almost simultaneously, three notifications floated above their heads.
—Skill 1 judgment… judgment ineffective.
Amy withdrew her gaze, her smile becoming even more radiant. As the song began, she brought the microphone to her lips, and her energetic singing voice filled the stadium.
Glow sticks swayed rhythmically in the darkness throughout the venue as Lin Qiye and his companions finally opened their eyes.
“She already activated a skill?” Shen Qingzhu asked in surprise.
“This should be the boss’s opening skill, used to identify if there are any hostile people in the crowd. Those fanatical fans don’t matter, but if we make eye contact with her, we’d die instantly.”
“What should we do next?”
Youli Tangbai pondered for a moment. “The more unknown boss skills there are, the greater the threat to our subsequent actions… This boss battle has just begun, and the most important thing is to probe what her remaining skills are, then figure out how to avoid them.”
“Understood.” Shen Qingzhu stared at the beautiful girl on stage, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes. “I’ll go probe. You two protect yourselves, because as long as the three of us don’t die simultaneously, this game won’t fail.”
