Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Has the world turned into this?

Why is this happening to me? Is this still a gaming forum?

Fang Yu felt like it was chaos everywhere, and only after flipping through two or three pages did he finally spot some posts with normal titles.

It’s dizzying, where did these monsters come from, and why are those posts so popular? On a forum where even game screenshots don’t exist, and where trust relies entirely on text, there are actually people chasing these daily-update threads...

It’s inexplicable.

Fang Yu felt that the trend on the homepage of hot posts was fluctuating constantly.

Initially, various technical posts dominated the charts, followed by gang recruitment and gossip posts about gang conflicts.

Now, various fan fiction posts started to suddenly gain prominence, and Fang Yu even clicked to look inside; the posts included various people role-playing as other onlookers, boosting post popularity.

Additionally, posts about various celebrities joining the game inexplicably became absurdly popular.

Following stars right into the game, that’s quite peculiar.

Fang Yu sighed, agreeing quite a bit with the content of another post—who plays games seriously and looks at forums anymore?

Since there wasn’t much useful information to glean, Fang Yu quickly shut off the forum.

Reaching towards the bed, Fang Yu prepared to enter the game, but the next second...

Buzz buzz buzz.

The phone vibrated.

He picked it up to see that it was Uncle Qi Sheng calling.

Fang Yu hurriedly answered.

”Fang Yu, have you watched all those recording files I left you?”

He came straight to the point.

”I have, Uncle.”

Fang Yu replied.

”Rolling Bone Bone City... Lian Xiaoya... what do you think?”

”I want you to help me contact someone, Uncle.”

Fang Yu was quite sure that Lian Xiaoya was likely no longer in Rolling Bone Bone City.

Since she was escorted away by the Floral Fragrance Sect, the chances of her still being in Rolling Bone Bone City were quite small.

Having Lei Shenhao help investigate would be sufficient. The important thing is to find out where Lian Xiaoya was taken! That should be the direction he should continue to investigate!

...

In the base.

Xu Zhentian’s excitement was almost uncontrollable.

He, along with Chen Yayue and the two others in their group, successfully scored high.

This means they are very likely to get the chance for an outing for a day!

”Don’t get too excited, someone might provide more information than us later and score higher,”

Chen Yayue poured cold water on the situation.

But from the fluctuations in Chen Yayue’s tone, it was clear he was trying hard to restrain his emotions.

Bam!

Just then, the dormitory door was suddenly pushed open.

A guard holding a gun looked at them expressionlessly.

”Come out.”

They didn’t dare say anything because the opposite had a gun!

They quickly walked outside and followed this brother guard down the silent corridor, their hearts pounding, not daring to whisper to each other.

In no time, they arrived in front of a room with a large closed door.

As soon as Chen Yayue saw this room, his eyes widened.

He remembered it; he seemed to have been injected with something by a doctor in the room behind this door... he still feels a vague abnormal sensation in his brain.

Xu Zhentian didn’t notice Chen Yayue’s unusual expression at all but immediately saw two others being escorted over by armed guards, no surprise, it was one of their teammates during the temporary team-up!

It was their team; it was their team that won this event!

”Outing for a day... outing for a day!!”

Xu Zhentian clenched his fists tightly.

He wants to go back to check on his sister, he wants to see his sister!

Chen Yayue immediately realized this point, pushed those thoughts aside, and his face visibly showed an excited look.

”YES!!”

The two people brought along saw Chen Yayue and Xu Zhentian and immediately got excited too, but this uncontrollable YES also quickly drew a cold look from the armed guards.

Evidently, this was just a warning, speaking out again wouldn’t just receive a warning stare this time.

The four of them gathered together silently, unwilling to say too much. They waited quietly with the guard.

They didn’t even know what they were waiting for, until...

Thud thud thud...

A series of brisk footsteps approached.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a person wearing a white coat, like a researcher but also like a surgeon, striding quickly towards them. Behind him were several people dressed as nurses, pushing various pieces of equipment.

”Professor Tao!”

”Professor Tao!”

The armed guards saluted with precision, their military stance impeccable, causing Chen Yayue’s heart to sink.

”You’ve been waiting a long time. Come, let’s go inside and talk.”

Professor Tao said with a smile, then placed his palm on the large door’s sensor lock.

With a beep, the door opened.

A space resembling both a laboratory and an operating table appeared before them, vast and expansive.

”Please, take a seat, everyone.”

Professor Tao squinted and smiled at them, as if he were looking at four little lab mice.

As the armed guard entered the room, aiming their guns at the four individuals, their faces turned ashen, hearts filled with despair.

”B-brother, didn’t you say the first-place team could go outside for a day... W-what is this?”

The only response was the cold warning of the gun barrels.

As the tranquilizer darts hit, their consciousness soon faded...

...

”Hiss—”

Chen Yayue awoke suddenly, only to find himself lying in a pile of garbage.

Outside the garbage heap was a street flashing with neon lights, car horns blaring incessantly.

Chen Yayue’s eyes widened instantly, his breath seemingly pausing in that moment.

He was out...

Really out!

He’d escaped from that damned place!!

Beep!

Just then, a sound came from his wrist.

Still somewhat dazed, Chen Yayue noticed for the first time a watch on his wrist, though he didn’t know when it had been put there.

The watch began to display scrolling text.

”You have 24 hours of freedom.”

”Remember the following principles.”

”First, do not speak of the base or the game to anyone.”

”Second, do not do anything attention-grabbing.”

”Third, do not attempt any unnecessary actions; don’t try; this is advice, not a warning.”

”Now, please enjoy this day of freedom.”

Beep.

A 24-hour countdown began on the watch.

”Chen Ya... Chen Ya!”

Chen Yayue didn’t care about those strange rules; he needed to find his sister, his only... sister!

...

Boom!!!

On the street, someone’s head suddenly exploded like a watermelon.

The scene was so shocking that it scared nearby pedestrians into screaming and collapsing to the ground.

Quickly, a crowd gathered, but the scene gradually faded, revealing several vertical flickering lines—characteristic of surveillance footage.

Professor Tao swirled his red wine in its glass, mesmerized as he watched the surveillance footage before him.

”Can’t resist, can they?”

”No one can resist, can they?”

”A masterpiece so painstakingly completed, if it doesn’t truly blossom once, how will others know of its success?”

”So... it’s only natural not to resist, right?”

”It’s not my fault, it’s you, buying those mini cameras, it’s you who overstepped first. Even if Mr. Qi Sheng asks, I have no qualms.”

”I simply... pressed the switch before you got the stuff~”

Pleasure.

Pleasure filled his body.

Closing his eyes in ecstasy, he took a light sip of the red wine from his glass, then, like a greedy rat, fixated on the other surveillance cameras.

As long as the other three showed the slightest flaw, he would unhesitatingly detonate the micro-virus bombs implanted in their cerebral cortexes.

Professor Tao was particularly focused on Chen Yayue as he appeared on the monitor.

Because he had performed several adjustments on this guy’s brain, he had been among the earliest test subjects.

While the virus implanted in Xu Zhentian and the others belonged to the second improved batch.

”What will happen?”

”Will they lose control?”

”Will my masterpiece... blossom into beautiful fireworks in Jiangnan City?”

”What reaction will the world have when they witness this scene?”

”Hee hee... hee hee hee hee!! It’s truly... an uncontrollable excitement!!”
