My Players Keep Grinding in the Post-Apocalyptic World

Chapter 4: There must be something wrong with the numbers in your game!

Views:

Lin Tang's sudden attack instantly attracted the attention of the four looters in the camp.

It is noon now. Most of the predators have gone out hunting. There are not many left in the base, and all of them have scars on their bodies.

However, even so, one injured predator can kill two or three ordinary humans.

The gap in strength and physique is too great.

If you just look at Lin Tang's aura at this moment... he even looks a bit like a human who has mastered special powers.

But... the plunderer, whose brain was filled with muscles, didn't understand the momentum and rushed over with a big stick at hand.

Lin Tang smiled confidently: "Don't be afraid of giant dogs and big foxes. Based on my many years of gaming experience, elementary missions like this won't be that difficult. Enemies that look scary... are actually just small monsters. The reason you're afraid is because the game modeling is so good. You've taken into account the differences in size and appearance, but... don't forget! This is a game world, and you can't use theories from the regular world to infer!"

"So! Watch me kill the monsters!"

"I'm sorry for making a fool of myself!"

Lin Tang rushed out from his hiding place and came face to face with the nearest predator.

The ferocious face, thick bones, strong muscles, green skin, and it exuded a sour smell of chemicals and rotten flesh.

Pah~

Lin Tang, who was more flexible, threw the stone onto the plunderer's shoulder.

In his own vision, he saw a faint black font floating above the plunderer's head.

Physical damage caused: 10

Then, a red number jumped.

Trigger bleeding damage, hp-5 (lasts 10 seconds)

The plunderer had an injured arm, and being hit activated the wound, causing his mouth to open immediately, revealing his sharp teeth and roaring.

"roar!"

A backhand stick.

Bang!

Lin Tang was blown away, and a line of words flashed before his eyes.

Physical damage received: 98

A blood-red line appeared on his watch.

1/4 has disappeared.

Obviously, this is his health bar.

"Shit!? Am I so fragile?"

The health bar above the plunderer's head only dropped by about one percent.

Seeing the other three predators coming over from behind, Lin Tang shouted, "Giant Dog, Giant Fox, help! The monsters have high attacks..."

He turned his head and saw that the place where the three people had just hidden was empty.

Two 1.8-meter-tall strong men were sneaking away from him.

Lin Tang: “?”

He took a look at the four approaching green-skinned raiders and the two teammates who were walking away... and suddenly came to his senses.

"Oh, I see! This level is not for players to beat, but a tactical level similar to "It Takes Two", right?"

Lin Tang immediately shouted, "This level tests the cooperation of three people. I will lead them away, and you two will wait for the opportunity to act!"

Although Lin Tang was a bit reckless, he was not stupid. Seeing this, he immediately changed his tactics.

Turn around and run!

He led four howling green-skinned raiders and ran in the opposite direction of the African dogs and the ghost-faced foxes.

Moreover, his thin body makes him more flexible.

He took zigzag steps and moved in front of the four predators. The distance was very close, but they just couldn't hit him.

You can tell at first glance that he is an old FPS (shooting game) player.

The other side.

The thin dog and the fox looked at each other and nodded approvingly.

Xigou: "Lin Tang is a very quick-witted guy. Even after being beaten up, he was still able to think of a strategy in an instant and make the most favorable judgment for us."

Yaohu: "I just discovered this point. Although those green monsters are very strong, they don't look very smart. This may be a hint left by the designer so that we don't have to confront them head-on at this stage and rescue the NPC through outsmarting them."

When the two saw Lin Tang and the green-skinned monster running away, they came out from their hiding place.

Slowly walked into the raiders' simple camp.

Bonfire, broken tent, tin cans, thick wooden sticks, rotten cloth... all kinds of messy things were put together to form a small camp.

This place looks like a small country courtyard before the end of the world.

But the collapse and damage were so severe that only some reinforced walls could be vaguely seen. They were used by the looters to build simple dwellings.

They both looked at their watches.

The red dots have overlapped with their positions.

The two looked around but found no trace of the NPC.

The fox looked up and said, "There are no buildings up there, so... it's underground!"

"And... if I'm not mistaken, the shed over there that's obviously built more solidly is the entrance to the underground."

The thin dog nodded.

The two are old partners in the bar. They usually play dozens of games online together and have a great understanding of each other.

The fox picked up two sticks sharpened by the predators and threw one to the dog.

"Is this the first weapon I picked up in this game? Unfortunately... I can't see the weapon data."

"It's definitely more powerful than stone. Let's go underground."

Fox Demon: "I'll be in front, you'll be behind, be careful of traps and door openings."

The two men staggered their positions and walked into the shed. Sure enough, there was a path leading downwards. It looked like a large cellar used to store supplies in the village.

In the dark passage.

The two walked down slowly.

Suddenly, the demon fox in front stopped and asked: "Do you smell anything?"

Xigou's face was serious: "A metallic smell is emanating from my nose and mouth... To be precise, I felt it when I approached the camp before, but when I got to the cellar... it was more obvious."

The next moment, the green numbers above their heads started jumping.

Radiation Damage: 3

You are contaminated by nuclear radiation, duration: infinite (refresh after moving away from the radiation source)

Yaohu: "Debuff?" (Debuff type status, bad status)

The blood bar on both of their watches was showing slowly decreasing.

"We are losing health continuously... My initial health is 400 points, and it loses 3 points per second, and recovers 0.5 points naturally, which means I lose 2.5 health points per second... I can last for 160 seconds, which is 2 minutes and 40 seconds. We must fight quickly and rescue the NPC!"

"Go! Rush!"

The two quickened their pace and rushed down.

Bang!

The thin dog kicked open a wooden door in front of him, revealing an alley with flames on it. White bones were scattered on the ground in the alley, which looked... scary.

Behind the alley, there are 4 sealed dungeons.

In front of the dungeon, stood a burly green-skinned monster. He was surprised at first, and then his anger rose visibly.

He picked up a mace that was covered with rusty iron spikes.

With one blow, even if the physical attack can't kill the person, the subsequent magic attack can also kill the person.

The two players holding wooden sticks felt a chill in their hearts.

The fox demon checked the location on his watch.

"The NPC is just ahead!"

The thin dog raised the stick and said, "There's nothing more to say. We meet on a narrow road, let's fight! After we defeat this little monster guarding the gate, we can complete the mission."

Fox Demon: "I'll be on the left, you on the right, we'll attack from both sides, cover each other, attack his head and hips, and deal critical damage! Lin Tang can break through his defense with stones, so we'll definitely deal more damage with pointed sticks. It will definitely work if we two fight steadily!"

"good!"

The two of them rushed over, like masters!

Crackling~

The fox demon was killed.

African Greyhound: "..."

He looked at the green-skinned monster with only a few bloody holes on its body and swallowed.

"First, I underestimated the strength of the gatekeeper monster. Second, I overestimated our combat effectiveness. Third, your game... there must be something wrong with the numbers! You bastard planner! Is this a gatekeeper monster that a novice can defeat?"

The movements of the two were greatly distorted during the battle, and they were simply unable to perform the perfect attacks and defenses that they usually perform in keyboard and mouse games. After the fox demon was hit by three sticks, it was plagued by bleeding, radiation, and tetanus, and died directly after losing all its health.

Xigou glanced at the health bar of the green monster guarding the gate, and saw that there was only 80% left... This was already the best effort they had.

After the plunderer killed the fox demon, he howled angrily and swung his mace at the thin dog's head.

The little dog was slightly thoughtful...

Suddenly I realize it!

“I understand!”

He made the final decision.

"System, I don't want to play anymore, log off!"

At this moment, behind Xigou, two balls of scarlet flames suddenly lit up.
