Chapter 10: Chapter 10: In this world, there is no one who can withstand my 34 bullets.
The title reward for this event was indeed a bit strange.
Its effect entails that when you confess to someone you truly like, in the face of certain death, there's a one in ten chance that the person you like will take the deadly blow for you.
Is this love, or is it enmity?
The woman remained silent, not speaking.
She couldn't be sure whether her man refrained from confessing because he didn't want to put her in danger,
or because he was worried about being exposed as not truly liking her and therefore not confessing to her.
But she didn't dwell on it for long.
She quickly found her answer as she also didn't want to confess to her own man. She was certain she truly liked her man; she just didn't want to put him in any danger.
The woman who understood this no longer cared that her family was around, bent down, and kissed her husband's cheek before promptly scurrying into the kitchen with a flushed face.
"I'll go make you a bowl of noodles."
"Cough."
The grandfather, who sat to the side smoking his dry pipe, silently closed his eyes, his voice full of a wistful sigh, "I'm old now, but in my youth, I, too, had my fun."
"Pfft."
The son, who witnessed it all, couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw his father's somewhat embarrassed, suddenly reddened face.
And at that moment—
"Boom!"
Suddenly, fireworks exploded outside the window.
Incredibly dazzling.
Extremely gorgeous.
The fireworks were so beautiful, lighting up the entire sky, their colorful display truly mesmerizing.
The son, looking at the fireworks filling the sky, couldn't help but become lost in thought.
As for the future, he was uncertain.
All he knew was that at this moment, he really wanted to protect his family.
...
"So beautiful."
Chen Yi and the Tuberculosis Rabbit, stepping out of the residential area, looked toward the young people setting off fireworks in the street, and stood still, silently admiring the fireworks display.
It must be said.
The resilience of humankind seems very strong.
Even after such a catastrophe, they still had the mood to set off fireworks. These bundles of fireworks dispelled much of the gloom over the city and lessened the fear in many people's hearts.
"That's pretty nice."
Chen Yi casually took out a cigarette, placed it in his mouth, and after lighting it, pulled out another one and handed it to Captain Li: "Have one too."
"Thanks."
Captain Li's expression looked a bit dreadful as he took the cigarette. He did not light it but instead put it in his pocket. After a long silence, he finally said, "It was Rising Company that told us to catch you. Since I failed here, they will continue to send people after you."
"This company has quite a bit of power."
"Hmm."
Chen Yi nodded nonchalantly, patted Captain Li on the shoulder, "Go on, it's probably not going to be a quiet night. Go and be with your family."
"Alright."
Captain Li nodded with a complicated look, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "Thanks for this time. If there's anything in the future, you can count on me. I'll definitely help if I can."
"Got it."
The Tuberculosis Rabbit looked strangely at Captain Li's retreating figure, then turned to Chen Yi, "Yi, what were you talking to him about alone in the basement just now?"
"It's as if you turned him into a different person all of a sudden."
Chen Yi shook his head with a light chuckle, draped his arm over the Tuberculosis Rabbit's shoulder, and stood in place looking up at the sky full of fireworks, "I had a chat with him about the declarations made before joining the force, reminded him to find his original resolve."
"Oh, I don't buy it, do you, Yi?"
Just as Chen Yi was about to say something more.
"Boom!!!"
Suddenly, a loud crash resounded beside them. The powerful shockwave made the asphalt road under their feet tremble violently, even cracking it.
And then—
A voice rang out in the ears of Chen Yi and his companion.
"Ding, area horn."
"A Cupid has appeared in your vicinity, please eliminate it as soon as possible. In two hours, Cupid will escape."
"Killing Cupid will reward players based on their damage ranking with a large split of 'Cupid's Gift Bag.'"
"The last hit will grant an additional reward."
As the voice faded,
they saw a Cupid as tall as a three-story building appear at the end of the street.
The image was exactly the same as Cupid's image.
Bare-chested, with blond curly hair, holding a giant bow and arrow, and the arrowhead was shaped like a red heart.
The only difference was that it was much bigger than the Cupid in Western mythology.
A three-story high creature indeed had a shock factor.
Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, discarded the cigarette butt at his feet, firmly stamped on it a few times, and then looked up towards a vantage point not far away with a light chuckle.
"This damn reality is getting more and more interesting."
"In real life, you can fight boss battles."
"Go to that building's rooftop."
"Alright."
...
Chen Yi, who took the elevator to a rooftop not far from Cupid within a few minutes, slowly pulled out a sniper rifle from his embrace.
For 88 Points, one could purchase a limited-time gift bag of 520, which contained five random Skill Fragments and a random prop.
This sniper rifle was the prop obtained from the random draw.
It could be stored in a backpack, very convenient, and didn't take up space.
'Prop Name': Snow Eagle Sniper Rifle.
'Prop Level': B-level prop.
'Prop Effect': Each bullet inflicts fixed true damage equal to 3% of the enemy's Maximum Health Value, with an execution effect that can kill an enemy whose Life Value is less than 5% with a single bullet.
'Prop Restrictions': Unlimited bullets, but each shot costs 100 Points.
'Prop Introduction': In this world, no one can withstand my 33 bullets.
A B-level prop, which is a nice prop.
This sniper rifle, it's as if it was made for boss fights.
The greater the health, the higher the damage.
But if you were thinking of using it to kill a normal person, that would be tougher, as a bullet would only cause 3% of the target's Maximum Health Value in damage.
Firing a bullet at the forehead at close range might only make the person vomit blood.
Be it man or god, 33 shots would prove fatal.
One hundred Points a bullet, for 33 bullets that's 3,300 Points.
That meant using this rifle to kill someone would cost 3,300 Points.
And at that moment—
A huge leaderboard appeared above Cupid's head.
The glowing characters were clear enough for people hundreds of meters away to see.
'Damage Leaderboard'
'First Place: Zhang Kaiqiang'
'Damage Dealt: 782 points.'
'Second Place: Li Qiqiang.'
'Damage Dealt: 679 points.'
'Third Place...'
Over thirty people were already on the leaderboard.
But the damage each had caused was not high. Through the sniper scope, he observed that inflicting a cut near the toe amounted to around 100 points of damage.
And at that moment, the rumble of tank treads was approaching from not far away.
Clearly, the military had been deployed.
