My Players Keep Grinding in the Post-Apocalyptic World

Chapter 17: This game is more than just a numerical competition

"You wanna fight the predators???"

The ghost-faced fox exclaimed.

As the most stable person in the three-person team, Yaohu rarely spoke in a high voice, mainly because Xigou's words reminded him of the last time the two of them were brutally abused by plunderers. In that narrow tunnel, he was hit three times and died directly.

By the time he dies, the Marauder still has 80% of his health left.

They are not even in the same league!

"No... Xigou, you don't think that adding Lin Tang will improve our combat effectiveness, right? He's a mod, what the hell does he know about combat!"

Lin Tang: “???”

Yaohu: "What if I die right after resurrecting this time? What if I get banned by the NPC? This is not a single-player game. You can't just stand up and teleport back to continue playing after you die. This game has a death penalty!"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited!"

The thin dog quickly comforted the fox.

"I'm not fooling around. I've consulted my special forces instructor and have made rigorous pre-war theoretical preparations..."

...

Let’s go back to one day ago.

After going offline, Pu Shenqi, who had been chatting in the group and the bar for a long time, sat in his small study of more than 100 square meters and became more and more angry.

"Why can't the two of us defeat the Marauders?"

"In theory, as long as the monster has health bars... it can be defeated."

He remembered a strategy guide he had made in the "Sekiro" forum, which was about having no equipment or skills at level 1 and fighting the final BOSS head-on!

It was originally a plot-based killing scene. The character controlled by the player would die if hit once, and the battle was just a cutscene.

But when Pu Shenqi found out that he could cause a small amount of damage to the Boss... he became interested.

"If I don't get hit by him, theoretically, I can kill him."

Then came the video that shocked the Sekiro bar for a whole year: "Break through the game of Sekiro right from the start, challenge the final boss of the story - the African Slim Dog - at level 1."

Become famous in one battle!

If Lin Tang's advantage in their three-person team is his ability to deduce the design logic behind the game, and Yaohu's advantage is his insight into various data... then Pu Shenqi calls himself the number one expert in Tieba, and that is his fighting power!

Top hardcore player!

The operation is weird!

"Since we can knock down 20% of the Predator's health just by randomly attacking, it means that if we operate it properly... we can definitely kill the Predator!"

"Given the realistic physics engine used in this game, the data... can be completely compensated by operation and strategy!"

Immediately, Pu Shenqi called his coach, the retired special forces instructor Chang Sheng.

The Pu family has a rule, which was left by the grandfather of Pu Shenqi, the founder of Duoyu Group.

"In our Pu family, no matter whether male or female, we must strengthen our bodies from a young age. Only a strong body can support a strong soul!"

This is a family rule that everyone with the surname Pu must abide by, and this rule must be passed down.

It is said that this family rule was left behind because of Pu Shenqi's legendary grandfather who died young.

Pu Shenqi's grandmother was strict with him since he was a child. She did not urge him to study, but only asked him to keep fit. She also found a special forces coach for him.

Inside the villa fighting arena.

"Coach Chang, I have a mock fight for you... If my opponent is 2 meters tall, 30% to 50% heavier than me, has a very strong resistance to blows, and is twice as strong as me, and he uses a blunt weapon like a stick, I can choose a blunt weapon of similar size... For a weapon fight like ours with a big difference in weight, how can we defeat the strong with the weak?"

Changsheng thought about it for a moment.

"Is it unlimited fighting?"

Pu Shenqi: "No restrictions at all. The goal is to beat the opponent to the point where he loses the ability to move."

Chang Sheng nodded: "Based on your description... if it's a fistfight, you have no chance of defeating the opponent, but... if it's a weapon fight, you have a chance!"

"Fighting and martial arts are a competition of skills and strength, and they require a certain degree of restraint. Weapon skills are... killing skills."

"In weapons-based combat, strength is more important than speed and timing. If the opponent has the advantage in strength and stamina... you just need to be faster than him, grasp the timing of each attack, and hit his vital points, and you can win. What are the opponent's skills?"

Pu Shenqi thought of the predator's wild and unsystematic attacks: "No skills, just brute force!"

"Then our chances of winning are even greater... Although you haven't learned the Bagua Step, the concepts in it will definitely be useful in this simulated battle you gave me, which is..."

...

"Receive, transform, and send?"

Lin Tang interrupted Xigou's description.

Thin dog: “???”

Demon Fox: "Don't interrupt, let Xigou finish speaking! What's your philosophy?"

Thin Dog: "Go in a big circle, take small steps, and you will be the last one to arrive!"

"We should use our flexible bodies to find the predator's weaknesses and keep moving into his blind spots so that he can't use his strength directly. We should dodge and block his attack the moment he attacks and then swing out! We should strike him before he can retract his strength!"

"The instructor is talking about the 1-on-1 technique. If we operate well, we can definitely kill the predator! If it's three of us against one predator... then we have enough margin for error to kill him, it's a done deal!"

Lin Tang and the fox demon both gasped.

Lin Tang: "Hiss~ Can you still fight like this? I think I can do it again!"

Fox: "Hiss~ This is the first time I use real-life skills in a game. That's right! For this kind of realistic cross-era virtual game, we should use real-life skills! I was blinded by one thing... This game is not just a competition of numbers."

Seeing that his two teammates had understood, Xi Gou immediately said, "Then let's go find a lone predator and try out our tactics!"

"Let's go! We can still see the raider camp we visited last time on the map. Let's go take a look..."

As the three of them started to go down the mountain, they saw a greenskinned raider with a mace in one hand preparing to go up the mountain.

8 When their eyes met, both sides showed a look of surprise.

The raiders found the humans that the boss wanted to kill.

Judging from their combat experience, three ordinary humans... they can just be beaten casually and will suffer minor injuries at most.

Three players are pleasantly surprised to have experience at their doorstep!

"roar!"

The plunderer roared and attacked first, swinging his mace in both hands.

This roar was both a clarion call for battle and a call for other predators to come over.

This attack was so powerful that if it were an ordinary human, he would probably piss his pants in fear.

"Bang!"

The little dog who was hit first thought to himself: "It's just a game... I'm not panicking, I'm not panicking!"

He took a step back and barely avoided the raider's attack. The big mace hit the stone on the ground, creating a cloud of rubble.

The thin dog was unharmed. He raised his mace and took a few small steps to the side.

The other two saw the right moment and each of them hit the looters with a crowbar.

hp-20

hp-19

Two black physical damage popped out from the pillager's head, and its health bar dropped a little.

Xigou did not attack. His mace was too heavy and if he attacked, he would probably be hit by the plunderer.

"Come on! Follow me around in circles!"
