LWGP - Chapter 56
Chapter 56: Enhance, Enhance!
Just as the six Blade Shieldbearers appeared and charged viciously toward Wang Jiu, a vehicle arrived from behind.
A military jeep.
Qi Dong and Qi Jun were inside.
Before they were even within three hundred meters, the fragrant air, which seemed to carry for miles, nearly killed them both on the spot.
But during that three-hundred-meter journey, they underwent an intense struggle with their humanity.
In the end, Qi Dong's soldierly instincts conquered all.
Qi Jun, on the other hand, conquered all with resentment!
"Bro, how could the boss do this to me! Was she doing it on purpose?"
Qi Dong rolled up the window, unable to bear hurting his younger brother, and could only say in a muffled voice, "Either there wasn't time and the situation was too urgent for her to say anything, or she did it on purpose. But you have to understand, when has she ever wasted her thoughts on someone unimportant? She's willing to mess with you because she cares about you."
After saying it, he felt something was off.
Qi Jun thought for a moment, his expression melancholic, and said faintly, "Then she must care about a lot of people."
Qi Dong was speechless. He asked him what he had been doing all these years, knowing she was like this and still insisting on staying by her side.
Qi Jun looked out the window, even more melancholic. "Men… we're cheap, you know that."
The more indifferent she was to him, the more he saw her as a flower on a high peak, unattainable. He never imagined she wasn't a flower on a high peak, but an abyssal landmine.
I really don't know!
Qi Dong was at a loss for words.
But that wasn't the point right now. The point was—should they get out of the car?
When they saw the intersection ahead, which was comparable to a living hell, the two brothers fell silent for three seconds. Qi Dong picked up his phone.
"I'll contact Qing Yu."
Qi Jun listened as he made the call, and then… his brother didn't even mention the manure truck explosion. He just anxiously urged the other party to hurry over.
Qi Jun grew thoughtful and suddenly understood.
You really couldn't blame the boss. This was just human nature.
Qing Yu agreed to come immediately, which balanced Qi Dong's psyche. He resolutely drove closer, then opened the window, extended his hand, and aimed his gun at a Blade Shieldbearer charging toward Wang Jiu.
He was a soldier, a professional soldier.
Once he entered his zone, he could ignore such arduous environments. At this moment, he had found his feel for shooting.
But he never expected that as the jeep drove over the road, a tire rolled over something. With a squelch, something splashed up.
His hand and the gun were now… wet and sticky.
Some of it even splashed inside the window, landing on his pants.
Qi Dong: "…"
Qi Jun saw it, quickly averted his gaze, pinched his nose, and said rapidly, "Bro, stop the car. I'm getting out to fight those monsters to the death!"
If you don't stop, I'm jumping out! Ah!
The financial prodigy Qi Jun almost shrieked like a screaming marmot.
Qi Dong still fired a shot.
The bullet struck the neck of the fastest Blade Shieldbearer charging at Wang Jiu.
With a bang, its head tilted, and with a crack, the tendon snapped.
It was a kill!!
What a perfect shot!
He was a goddamn sharpshooter!
Xiao Jue and the others were stunned.
Qi Dong: "???"
He couldn't very well say that he had just been startled, that his hand had shaken at the perfect moment. Was this luck born from filth?
Wang Jiu was also taken aback. One of the Blade monster's weak points was its neck, connected by a tough tendon, but it was very securely set. Simply put, it had no neck.
Unless a slender blade edge sliced it precisely, a bullet couldn't reach that gap; at most, the impact would knock its head aside.
Just now, it must have jumped as it ran over to kill her, losing its balance and causing its head to tilt slightly, exposing the gap.
Wang Jiu had no time to think further. There were still five more, and without the effect of the sausage, she couldn't take them on. Fortunately, Brother Li, Xiao Jue, and the others were heading her way.
They had been too embarrassed to come over before, feeling that Wang Jiu could handle it herself. Coming over would have seemed like they were trying to steal her kills, or coveting her advantageous position by the fire hydrant.
Now it was fine to go over, because Wang Jiu had given them a look.
Nothing more needed to be said; they had that much understanding.
However, before they arrived, Wang Jiu still had to face five Blade Shieldbearers.
"Hide behind me."
"Okay, in a second, this is almost unlocked."
Wang Shu knew he couldn't fight them and would only be a burden, but he was almost finished disassembling this one.
Sweat beaded on his forehead, and as it dripped, voila!
Seeing the items that dropped, his eyes lit up. He immediately picked up a long blade and threw it to Wang Jiu.
"Master, catch!"
Wang Jiu reached out and caught it, then glanced at its attributes.
Blade Shieldbearer's Blade
Attributes: Strength +8, Agility +2
It was better than the Chieftain's Bane. Although the attribute point increase wasn't huge, a blade was much more satisfying for hacking motions. It was better suited for dealing with these Blade monsters than a sword.
Most importantly, there was no note saying humans couldn't use it, just like the shield from before.
It was a bit strange. Weren't there supposed to be restrictions on equipment used by different races?
System: "The Blade monsters are not a natural species, but a race created by humans. Their metal forging techniques were passed down from the human race. However, they later betrayed the humans and hold great animosity toward them, but their equipment is mutually compatible."
Wang Jiu understood. Not dwelling on these racial grievances, she immediately swapped her sword for the blade and tossed the sword to Wang Shu.
Wang Shu caught it instinctively. Just as he was about to ask, he saw the five Blade Shieldbearers closing in and scrambled backward in fright.
This time, Wang Jiu wasn't thinking about killing monsters. She wasn't a cheater; if she really couldn't handle it…
She would open a treasure chest!
But this road was truly no place to be opening treasure chests. That's why she hadn't touched them since leaving the crematorium, planning to do it at home. She never imagined she'd have to open three treasure chests in an open-air latrine.
Wang Jiu sighed internally and quickly took a treasure chest out of her inventory.
The people rushing over saw her action, and a collective wave of sourness rose to the top of their heads.
Holy crap, a treasure chest.
Brother Li: "Look at what she gets from a boss! This damn System! Fuck!"
Wang Peng: "My big sister is so amazing!"
Wang Jiu didn't take out the treasure chest to show off. She opened it directly.
She hoped this terrible environment wouldn't make her luck even worse.
With a click, the treasure chest opened.
After the light faded, the chest disappeared, leaving behind a particularly eye-catching and distinctive object.
It appeared crisply in Wang Jiu's palm.
The end she held was slender and rounded, while the other end was an open basin.
It wasn't very long, just a bit longer than half her forearm.
But its appearance nearly blinded everyone.
Brother Li was stunned. In the middle of his frantic run, he howled at his brothers, "Look at what she got from her chest! Good thing I didn't get a chest! Hahahaha!"
This idiot was definitely done for in the future.
Unlike Brother Li, Wang Peng and Xiao Jue, who knew Wang Jiu's dark inner nature, didn't dare to make a sound. They could only endure it silently.
A treasure chest, this was a treasure chest, and Wang Jiu actually got a—!!
Wang Jiu glanced at the thing in her hand, then at the five Blade Shieldbearers about three hundred meters away. Her tone was a bit faint. "What kind of weapon is this?"
System: "You don't have a toilet plunger at home?"
Wang Jiu: "I'm asking why a treasure chest can drop a toilet plunger."
System: "Can't they put it in some packaging? Someone once got hemorrhoid suppositories."
Today was just inextricably linked to a certain part of the human body, wasn't it!
Opening treasure chests really did depend on the environment.
Why didn't I bring my LV gloves!
Wang Jiu was speechless. She asked, "Can this chest only be opened in my hands? Can't I open it directly in my inventory?"
System: "No, it must be in contact with both hands."
After all, this was a realistic game, not a virtual one.
Wang Jiu thought for a moment, then suddenly tried moving the treasure chest from her inventory to the team inventory.
It worked!
"So I can have a teammate open it for me, put it in the team inventory, and then I can transfer it to my own inventory?"
System: "Yes."
Xiao Qing had thought Wang Jiu would be furious, but she only saw the woman calmly put away the toilet plunger and peacefully raise her blade to face the five ferocious Blade Shieldbearers.
That composure, that bearing, was simply impeccable!
There really was a gap between people.
Just as Xiao Qing was having this thought, she saw Wang Jiu shout to Wang Shu, who was running and hiding with the sword in the back, "Check the team inventory. Open them for me. If you don't get anything good, I'll chop you up. Right, I want Strengthening Stones, bronze equipment, special cards… The total attributes on any bronze equipment can't be lower than fifteen."
The specific demands were getting more and more detailed.
Xiao Qing: "…"
Wang Shu's chubby face scrunched up, but he didn't dare to resist. He could only silently open the team inventory and take out a treasure chest.
Before he could open it, he saw the five Blade Shieldbearers charge into the puddle. As they ran wildly, Wang Jiu couldn't wait for him to get her a good treasure. Forced by the dangerous situation, she raised an eyebrow, steady and composed. With the blade in one hand, she grabbed a bag of something with the other and flung it forward forcefully.
As she threw it, she muttered inwardly, "Old Lady, it's not that I don't cherish food, but saving my life is more important."
What she threw was snow-white rice. She didn't throw much, but it scattered in a shower, landing in the puddle on the ground. The five Blade Shieldbearers were charging in a hurry, their metallic blade-feet skimming the ground. When they hit the many rolling grains of rice…
Swoosh!
The faster they charged, the more they slipped.
Like bowling pins, three of the five Blade Shieldbearers slipped and fell, splashing dirty water everywhere. The filth on their bodies drifted with the water. The other two were smarter, quickly stabbing their hand-blades into the ground to stabilize themselves. But Wang Jiu was prepared. The moment she threw the rice, she had already anticipated their state. She swung her blade in a low sweep, scooping up the rice and water from the ground and flinging it at them.
She didn't aim for the ones who had fallen, but for the one that had knelt to stabilize itself, because the fallen ones couldn't attack her, but the kneeling one could.
The other kneeling one was too far back and couldn't rush over to help.
The chosen kneeling Blade Shieldbearer instinctively blocked with its hand-blade.
At that moment, Wang Jiu stepped onto a patch of ground cleared of rice. With a splash, she crouched low, then swung the blade hilt with both hands, thrusting the blade upward in a diagonal slash.
Swoosh!
Her Strength was immense now. One slash to the Blade Shieldbearer's chest wasn't fatal, but it was enough to send it flying.
As it flew backward, face up, its exposed back met Wang Jiu's upward thrust as she charged in for a second time.
Crack!
Its head was severed. Wang Jiu spun, simultaneously avoiding the dirty water that splashed up as it fell and dodging the hacking attacks of the three Blade Shieldbearers that had gotten back up.
The blades were close, dangerously so, barely half a finger's width from her spinning arm.
But she also felt a chill on her back.
Swish! That slash was vicious, its path nearly cutting across her entire back.
But she dodged it. A few strands of her hair were cut, floating down lightly…
It was that close.
Thump! A kick from Xiao Jue sent the Blade Shieldbearer that was about to charge again to the ground. Then, Xiao Qing and Xu Zhiyan moved in to surround it.
But Wang Jiu still faced three of them.
They roared and shrieked.
At the same time, Wang Jiu heard Wang Shu shout from over there.
"Master!"
She immediately opened the team inventory, glanced inside, and her pupils flickered. She quickly took out the two Strengthening Stones from the slot.
That's right, two!
Heh! This fatty… what a treasure!
Without a second thought, Wang Jiu slammed both Strengthening Stones into the Old Lady's necklace in quick succession.
+1, +2.
Two consecutive successes.
The necklace's attributes changed dramatically.
Bloodthirsty Beast's Dread Necklace
Attributes: All Attributes +15
In other words, all of Wang Jiu's attributes increased by 10 points.
Instantly, Wang Jiu's stats underwent a massive change.
HP: 19
Strength: 38
Agility: 29
Stamina: 30
This was the terrifying power of growth-type equipment. Combined with the effect of Strengthening Stones, the boost was insane!
It gave Wang Jiu a total of 40 additional attribute points!
So, how effective would it be?
Wang Jiu looked at the three Blade Shieldbearers right in front of her.
She gently caressed the hilt of her blade.
