Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 328: Chapter 195: Underground Shelter No. 88 (Part 4)

No wonder he saw the bar was packed, yet there was an empty spot at the counter; it turned out the owner of the spot went to the restroom, and no one dared to take his seat.

The bartender swept the broken glass into the trash and said to the green Mohawk, ”Poisonous Snake, he said he’s looking for the best fighter at the bar, seems like he’s looking for you.”

Wu Chang waved at the green Mohawk and said, ”Hit me with a punch, remember to use your strength.”

”You really are courting death!” The green Mohawk’s arm mecha lights up with a breathing light, he shot straight and flashed in front of Wu Chang, punching instantly.

The punch was both fast and vicious, exceeding the speed of Sword Star’s flying sword; the force was immense, and the strength and agility attributes certainly surpassed 100 points.

This level of combat power, placed on the Silent Route, could single-handedly deal with Li Zaisi’s Four Great Vajra, and even many max-level players without good reincarnation were not the match of the green Mohawk.

This made Wu Chang quite surprised, not expecting even a random small fry to have such strong combat power.

These numbers, surpassing those of a Desolate Realm A-Level dungeon, made him certain this was either an S-Level dungeon or a Pillar of the Present World in the Abyss Second Layer.

Facing the urgent and swift punch, Wu Chang did not resist, directly catching the green Mohawk’s fist with his hand, then twisting it backward, locking the green Mohawk’s arm behind his back.

Then he followed and pressed down, directly pinning the green Mohawk on the bar counter.

Got to say, the Mohawk hairstyle is especially handy when pulling hair, he grabbed the green Mohawk’s green hair and banged it on the counter repeatedly.

”Courting death, right? Best fighter, right? Poisonous Snake, right? Snake fist, right...”

After a few rounds, the green Mohawk’s forehead saw red, blood dyed the hair, highlighting a red and green contrast.

The Mohawk may have strong stats due to the Pillar of the Present World, but Wu Chang’s stats were no less.

Though the Pillar of the Present World lies in the middle layer, floating outside the Abyssal Game system, and like Erosion Dungeons, not considered official dungeons,

it is essentially still a dungeon, and as such, it activates Wu Chang’s Master of Breaking the Game.

To become a Pillar of the Present World, its pollution value surpasses even those dungeons on the brink of losing control, undoubtedly reaching 100 points; with the boost from the Master of Breaking the Game, Wu Chang’s Attribute Panel reads:

Player Nickname: Doesn’t Eat Beef.

Player Level: 24 (3210/9900)

Life: 92 (61)

Power: 87 (58)

Agility: 50 (33)

Endurance: 60 (40)

Energy: 208 (136)

Inspiration: 136

Will: 153

(Note: Attributes in parentheses are before the Master of Breaking the Game boost.)

Free Attribute Points: 0

Beside the attributes boosted by the Master of Breaking the Game, the Sea Giant bloodline activated after bloodline will further boost his power.

”Bloodline Talent: Deep Sea Alien Species - Sea Giant”

”Transformation Description: Release the power of your bloodline, transforming into a Deep Sea Alien Species. In this form, gain Ocean Control status, increasing mobility in water by 30%, amplifying the effects of all skills used in water by 20%, and adding a water attribute effect.”

”Talent Skill: Infinite Growth”

”Skill Description: In the Deep Sea Alien Species form, your power attribute increases by 70%; by devouring the souls of the deceased, you can gain temporary power attribute limit. Every time you devour an enemy, it temporarily reduces the willpower limit by 1, duration: one plane.”

”Talent Skill: Body of Strength”

”Skill Description: You can freely control your body size, with the maximum height not exceeding twice your current power attribute (in meters). Also, depending on your body size, you gain corresponding temporary life value and temporary endurance, the value being half of your current body size.”

With the boosts from the Sea Giant, Wu Chang’s power attribute reaches 148 points, and even without stacking any temporary power limit, it’s enough to impose absolute power dominance over the green Mohawk.

Wu Chang gave a few more blows, noticing that the metal-protected side of the green Mohawk’s head was caved in and the metal bar counter was dented. He then grabbed the green Mohawk by the neck with one hand and by the waistband with the other, and tossed him out the bar door as if throwing out the trash.

When he returned to his seat, he found that a cup of hot milk was already placed before the empty spot.

The bartender pulled out some bottles and jars, smiling eagerly, ”Here’s some maple syrup, honey, chocolate sauce, white sugar, whatever flavor you prefer, just add it.”

Wu Chang nodded, saying, ”I’ll just have it plain.”

In dungeon planes, one must adapt to local customs, and in dungeon planes like the 88th Underground Shelter, there’s nothing more effective than using fists for negotiation.

To bartend in a bar, you can afford to mix drinks slowly, but you must change your expression quickly.

Seeing Wu Chang’s strength, the bartender instantly switched to a warm expression and proactively asked, ”How should I address this gentleman?”

Wu Chang said, ”Peace.”

The bartender’s eyelid twitched, for he saw no hint of peace in Wu Chang.

”Mr. Peace, you’re an outlander, aren’t you?”

Wu Chang asked in confusion, ”Is it that obvious?”

The attire of the 88th Shelter is not particularly distinct. Judging by his current dress of jeans and a bomber jacket, he seemed not out of place, yet both the drunkard he first encountered and the bartender in front could instantly identify his outlander identity.

The bartender smiled mysteriously, ”There is an essential difference between outlanders and us locals, you’ll understand after a few more visits.”

”Are you here for a trade this time? I’m familiar with the dealings around here, whatever trade you wish to conduct, I can act as the middleman. There’s a newcomer discount, only a 10% commission on the first deal, how does that sound?”
