Chapter 87: Lord-Class Boss!

After that, he grabbed another bottle of beer and poured it over him, but Chen Yun still did not wake.

The thug grinned and hauled over a huge bucket of water, then splashed it over Chen Yun’s head and face. Chen Yun was instantly drenched from head to toe, yet he still did not wake.

He did not know that Chen Yun was now unconscious. When a person is out cold, never mind water; even if you poured molten lava on him, it would not help.

“Boss... could this kid have been unable to endure the sedative and died?” one of the men asked.

“He’s not dead. His breathing, heartbeat, and pulse are all normal,” Wang said with a smile. “Take a knife and let some blood. See if that wakes him.”

Though the underling was puzzled by how Wang knew the boy’s heartbeat and pulse were normal without checking, he did not dare ask more. He drew a dagger and stabbed it toward Chen Yun’s thigh.

A sharp clang rang out, like a dagger striking steel, from Chen Yun’s thigh. The underling stared dumbly at the dagger, which had snapped cleanly in two, and sucked in a breath.

Damn it, even a dagger forged from fine steel had been broken by the stab. Did he have a steel plate hidden inside his thigh?

He pulled out another dagger and stabbed at the calf of Chen Yun’s other leg.

Another clang, again the sound of a blade striking steel.

What the hell? What kind of twisted hobby is this—steel plates hidden in both legs?

The thug simply ripped open Chen Yun’s trousers and was immediately stunned.

Where was the steel plate?

He had clearly heard the clash of dagger and steel!

This was truly haunted.

The underling pressed Chen Yun’s calf with his hand. It felt good, fleshy and rather soft. How could it possibly have made a metallic impact sound?

He slowly aimed the dagger at the exposed calf and stabbed down. The skin on the calf gradually sank inward, deeper and deeper, but damn it, it just would not break.

He did not believe in such nonsense and stabbed harder and harder, throwing in all his strength. Chen Yun’s calf had caved in all the way, yet there was still not a single torn patch of skin.

What the hell kind of human skin is that? I should buy some too and replace mine with it. The quality is incredible!

After much effort and stabbing in several places without success, the underling admitted defeat and said guiltily to Wang, “Boss, this kid is weird. No matter how I stab him, I can’t pierce his skin.”

Wang looked with interest at the unconscious Chen Yun and said, “Let me try.”

Wang walked up to Chen Yun and aimed for his arm.

“Player Chen Yun’s unconscious state has been lifted.”

Chen Yun blinked groggily open his eyes, and what met him was—damn it! A dagger stabbing straight at him!

He rolled away with a nimble tumble and sprang to his feet, staring warily at the sinister-smiling man before him, then used an appraisal skill.

“Lord-class boss???, level??, name??, race??, profession??, attack??, defense??, strength??, intelligence??, spirit??, constitution??...”

Damn it all! A lord-class boss! Chen Yun was so shocked he nearly bit off his tongue. What kind of joke was this? I’ve been kidnapped by a lord-class boss? And from the looks of it, he was preparing to kill me?

“Oh? You’re awake?” Wang looked at Chen Yun with amusement and casually dropped the dagger. “Since you’re awake, I won’t need to wake you like that. Let me introduce myself: my name is Wang, and I’m the leader of the underground forces in this town.”

“What... what do you want?” Chen Yun swallowed nervously, fear in his voice. He knew very well that the man before him was the strongest boss he had encountered since obtaining the system, even stronger than the assassin chief from before.

“What do I want?” Wang sat on the sofa and smiled pleasantly. “Simple. I’ll take all your money, and then I’ll kill you.”

Kill me!

Chen Yun’s whole body jolted, but his mind instead became strangely calm. He asked, “Aren’t underground groups usually after money? I can give you money. Why do you want to kill me?”

“Because,” Wang said with a smile, “a master chef capable of creating grandmaster-level dishes cannot be allowed to live.”

“You’re foreign agents!” Chen Yun cried out.

“Heh, you’re quite smart,” Wang said, his eyes narrowing. “Lock him up first. When they bring the money, feed them all to the divine dragon!”

Chen Yun did not resist. Against such a terrifying boss, resistance would be useless. He was taken to a dim little room, and with a click, the door was locked behind him.

Chen Yun found a stool to sit on, his mind racing at full speed.

It looked as if this group were thugs on the surface, but in truth they were a foreign listening post hidden here.

He had never imagined that such a small place would conceal such a monstrous boss. This was absolutely not someone Chen Yun, fresh from his class change, could contend with. He suspected that even if he were fully geared, he still would have little chance. Let alone now, when he did not even have a single usable item on him.

“Think, damn it, think of a way to escape.” Chen Yun looked around, but the room did not even have a window, and the door was locked. There was simply no way out.

“Why the hell doesn’t the Gun God have a teleport skill? If I could teleport, wouldn’t I be able to get out...” Chen Yun cursed in frustration. Then he slapped his forehead. “Damn it, I forgot I have Lockpicking!”

Chen Yun went to the door, placed his hand on the lock, and silently activated Lockpicking.

“Lockpicking in use. Current lock level: level 2, compatible with Lockpicking skill level. Picking lock... current progress 1%... 2%... 100%.”

Seeing Chen Yun run out of the locked room, Wang Ling said in surprise, “You actually got out from the inside?”

Chen Yun ignored Wang Ling. The moment he got out, he sprinted straight toward the entrance of the club. As long as he made it outside, with his agility he would definitely be able to escape. By then, as soon as he told Director Jiang what had happened here, these people would all be arrested by the Empire.

“You think you can run? Do you really think you can get away?” Wang Ling said. Then his eyes suddenly turned red. With a sweep of his hand, a gale slammed the door of the Pattaya entertainment venue shut. Wang’s appearance changed rapidly; in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a gigantic serpent.

Damn it, this guy isn’t human!

Chen Yun was utterly shocked. If he had not gradually grown accustomed to all kinds of bizarre things since gaining the system, this scene would have surely stunned him senseless.

It was a giant snake, entirely black in color, conservatively estimated to be over twenty meters long and more than three meters wide. Compared with it, Chen Yun looked so small he might as well not exist at all.

“Damn it, I never wanted to use the Annihilator Handgun!” Chen Yun gritted his teeth, drew the Annihilator Handgun, applied the Eagle Eye and Element Bullet buffs to himself, and unleashed Rapid Fire.

Three golden damage numbers floated up.

-36800.

-39200.

-42600.

Unfortunately, none of the three elemental bullets triggered any abnormal status. Otherwise, the damage would have been even higher.

The giant serpent’s health bar dropped by one tenth, and the serpent itself howled in agony under the three strikes.

Damn it!

Chen Yun was terrified. How much health did this boss have? A total of 130,000 damage only took off one tenth of his health bar?

At this rate, even if I fired the remaining seven bullets, I still wouldn’t be able to kill him! Am I really going to go down today?
