Chapter 129: Chapter 121: The Killer Shall Be Killed! (No Joking Today)

Li Zheng had been observing Lin Feng all along and could tell that the demon who killed his family was showing signs of retreat.

Just as Li Zheng activated the flying device, intending to intercept the opponent, Chu Xiao took a step forward.

“Puff!”

The shoes on his feet split apart, and the feet inside suddenly swelled, becoming larger, longer, and thicker, with the color gradually changing from the skin tone of an Asian to gray, finally taking on a stony texture.

“Puff puff puff…”

From the soles to the ankles to the calves, from the shoes to the hems to the pant legs.

With every step Chu Xiao took, his clothes tore an inch.

His figure suddenly grew taller, and after fifteen steps, Chu Xiao had transformed into a three-meter-tall, burly gray-skinned giant.

“Roar!”

Chu Xiao leaned forward, opened his mouth wide, and roared loudly.

Completely naked, as all his clothes had been shredded during the transformation process, his three legs, two long and one small, dangled freely.

“Tsk!”

Yan Guang, drawn by the commotion, glanced over with disdain, spit in contempt, and then turned away, still pinning Phoenix Mountain down, with a handkerchief roaming over Phoenix Mountain’s sweat.

“Well, the man I fancy has more to offer.”

Phoenix Mountain looked terrified: “Crazy woman, get your hand off… oh~ no~”

“Whimper whimper.”

Ye Yuan dropped her ever-present Gatling gun, covered her face with both hands, her fingers spread wide enough to fit ten apples, and directly transformed into a pouty creature.

“How embarrassing… oh, there’s nothing worth seeing.”

Calmly putting her hands down, she looked up thoughtfully, then picked up her beloved Gatling gun, and carefully wiped it with a clean towel, inch by inch.

Li Zheng: “…”

At that moment, he felt sorry for Chu Xiao.

Transforming into a three-meter giant and only having this much to show, then in his original state…

Oh, did he buy the smallest size of the Technology Cup?

That’s fine then.

But even the smallest size seemed a bit loose for Chu Xiao, maybe he should look into making a mini version next time.

[Why is this kid always carrying a needle around?

Does he do cross-stitch?]

“You’re stripping the bamboo!” Li Zheng couldn’t help but quip, “You’ve taken all the bamboo shoots from the pandas, now look at the children, they’re starving, all skinny.”

“He clearly carries a toothpick with him for picking his teeth after the meat threads get stuck between them.”

[…]

Below, the gigantified Chu Xiao seemed oblivious to the odd reactions of others, keeping his gaze fixed on Lin Feng.

At this moment, his eyes contained only Lin Feng.

“Thud!”

Suddenly, a sound like a drumbeat echoed in the cave, and the giant Chu vanished from his original spot.

“So fast!”

Li Zheng, among all the people present, had the fastest nerve response speed and dynamic vision, but he could only see a blur flash by.

Before a thought could even complete, Chu Xiao had already clutched Lin Feng’s ankle.

Yes, the ankle!

While everyone was deriding Chu Xiao, he took advantage of the brief distraction of the three heroes, decisively activated his Light Spirit Ability, and leaped away.

However, just as soon as he left the ground, he felt his ankle being seized by a hand as strong as an iron clamp.

“You…”

Lin Feng seemed about to say something, but before a word left his mouth, Chu Xiao lifted him high and adjusted his direction.

“Boom!”

Face down, Lin Feng was slammed hard onto the stone ground of the cave.

Everyone present felt a slight tremor like an earthquake.

“Puff!”

Chu Xiao pulled out Lin Feng from the ground. Despite his Gold Level flesh and blood intensity, such an impact didn’t even make him bleed a little.

“Such immense strength! Such speed!”

Li Zheng was, apart from Chu Xiao, the only player present who fully understood his ability.

[Genetic Ability: Gigantification (Platinum Level)

Lv4!]

Level 4 Platinum Genetic Ability!

In contrast, Lin Feng, after several battles, had 63 points of Genetic Force before Chu Xiao seized him.

Now, after this strike, it plummeted directly to 33 points!

“Boom!”

Lin Feng, who had just been lifted, hadn’t caught his breath before being smashed into the ground again.

This time, his Genetic Force was left in the single digits.

“Puff!”

He was pulled out once more.

Chu Xiao stared with eyes as large as copper bells, realizing that the opponent still showed no signs of injury, he roared furiously and began smashing Lin Feng on the ground like a ragged bag.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom boom boom boom…”

Watching Chu Xiao’s actions, Li Zheng suddenly imagined a scene of a green giant smashing Loki.

It was almost a perfect one-to-one recreation.

The pity was that “Loki” couldn’t recreate himself.

“Splash…”

Bright red blood spattered, and the Blood Qi originally absorbed by Lin Feng re-emerged, swirling around his body.

Sometimes it took the form of fierce evil spirits, sometimes terrifying ghost faces.

At the moment his Genetic Force was exhausted, Lin Feng could no longer maintain his Genetic Ability, reverting to a flesh and blood body.

In this state, withonly Black Iron 3+ body strength, let alone Chu Xiao.

Anyone present could hang Lin Feng up and beat him.

“This ability is overpowering, but its weakness… is also absurd.”

Li Zheng looked at the prompt given by Prelis’ Eye.

[Jealous?

It’s bought with IQ!]

After a careful observation, Li Zheng noticed that the moment Chu Xiao began his transformation, his eyes seemed to be filled only with “rage.”

He estimated that if it weren’t for the deep hatred against Lin Feng, Chu Xiao might have first crushed the weaker players present and then dealt with the “tough nut” Lin Feng.

“And the weakness isn’t just the loss of sanity; the energy consumption is also astounding.”

The Platinum Level genetic ability usually provides players with one hundred points of Genetic Force, and most ability consumption isn’t overly extravagant.

For example, Li Zheng’s “Ice and Fire Attachment,” when usually attached to small firearm bullets, only requires the basic one point of force per bullet, except for special cases like shotguns.

As for attaching to melee weapons, the consumption is calculated based on its size, combined with duration for cumulative deduction.

Taking the spear Li Zheng usually uses as an example, one attachment requires two points of force and can last about ten seconds.

If just playing around, Li Zheng could theoretically sustain the spear attachment for five hundred seconds.

However, during this period, he can recover a point every minute, thus extending the duration even longer.

But Chu Xiao’s Gigantification is different from Ice and Fire Attachment.

It charges by the second.

Ten points of Genetic Force per second!

Once Gigantification is started, after losing sanity, Chu Xiao typically takes ten seconds to recover.

This means he must resolve the battle within ten seconds, or else…

There’s a high likelihood he’d be counter-killed after the ability deactivates.

So, after being caught by Chu Xiao, the unfortunate Lin Feng experienced a “sack life” lasting ten seconds.

By the time Chu Xiao’s ability expired and his form returned to normal, Lin Feng had already turned into a mess, likely unrecognizable even to his own mother.

However, even so, Lin Feng wasn’t dead, lying in the blood, his chest faintly rising, though breathing out more and inhaling less.

“Huff, huff…”

Chu Xiao released Lin Feng’s ankle, unbothered by everyone seeing him, he sat astride the bleeding Lin Feng, gripping his neck with both hands.

“Little Di, brother is going to avenge you.”

Chu Xiao silently recited in his heart and then prepared to return the favor by using the method Lin Feng killed his sister.

“Cough… hahaha… cough cough…”

Lin Feng weakly and manically laughed while coughing blood: “Trash… cough… after you kill me, will you feel like a saint?

Hahaha…

Cough!

You hypocritical trash!

Virtue-signaling bitches!

In the Matrix, it’s survival of the fittest; such a simple truth, and you don’t get it.

Cough cough…

Don’t think that killing me will let you sleep soundly…”

Li Zheng’s face suddenly changed, shouting loudly: “Kill him! He’s sending a private message!”

This reminder caused everyone’s expression to darken.

Chu Xiao remained unmoved, leaned to Lin Feng’s ear, and weakly whispered: “I don’t care if you kill other players, their deaths have nothing to do with me.

The only reason I joined them in killing you and Lin Fan is because my sister sent me half a message before she died.

It said: The one who killed me is Lin…

At first, I thought it was Lin Fan.

Today… I learned it was you.

Murderers are always killed!

I’ve long been enlightened,

what about you?”

With that, Chu Xiao used his last bit of strength to slowly tighten his grip.

Just like Lin Feng had described earlier, tightening his fingers little by little.

His throat constricted, Lin Feng, like a dying fish, instinctively opened his mouth wide, his eyes began to bleed, full of blood streaks.

His bloodshot eyes appeared eerily bright red, resembling two translucent rubies.

He instinctively wanted to inhale, struggling to open his trachea but could only make a pig-like grunting sound.

The tip of his tongue stuck out, and with a “crack,” Lin Feng’s neck was snapped.

Still gripping Lin Feng’s neck, Chu Xiao waited until the system prompted him about decomposing the corpse before finally releasing his hands.

It seemed that killing Lin Feng had exhausted all his energy, and Chu Xiao collapsed to the side, gasping heavily, staring blankly at the cave ceiling.

After a while, his breaths gradually slowed, and tears streamed down his face.

“Little Di, brother personally avenged you!”

Chu Xiao lay on his back, crying out in grief.

Li Zheng descended using the flying device, landed beside Chu Xiao, and softly said: “My condolences.”

Chu Xiao just cried without responding.

Li Zheng knew that now Chu Xiao had avenged his great sorrow and needed time and space to vent.

He covered him with a set of ordinary clothes to spare his modesty, then approached Lin Feng’s corpse, bent down, and picked up the Identity Card belonging to him.

He hesitated over the Mysterious Declaration he took out but placed the Identity Card beside Chu Xiao before heading towards the small spider without looking back.

The space inside this Identity Card shares a chamber with Chu Di, so perhaps letting Chu Xiao integrate it is the most appropriate action.

“Hiss.”

Upon Li Zheng’s approach, the small spider emitted a threatening hiss, obviously still filled with hostility towards these unfamiliar players even after they killed Lin Feng.

But out of recognition for their role in Lin Feng’s death, the small spider refrained from spraying venomous mucus, which was already a gesture of leniency.

Li Zheng put away the Mysterious Declaration, raised his hands to show he meant no harm, and soothed it: “Your injuries are severe, if treated poorly, it could be life-threatening.

You wouldn’t want your master to wake up only to see your corpse, would you?”

“Hiss…”

The small spider hesitated for a moment before retracting its threatening stance as if convinced.

Li Zheng moved closer, jumped, activated the flying device, and grabbed his spear without pulling it out, opting to recall it directly.

The spear vanished from the small spider’s body, and Li Zheng fed it several painkillers before renting a set of debridement nanorobots to treat its injuries.

Until the small spider’s abdominal wounds were almost healed, the capsules behind it finally opened, and a pale, frail-looking female player walked out.

Li Chun still seemed a bit dazed, full of confusion: “What happened to me? Ah~ my head hurts, it feels like I’ve been asleep for so long… ah~ I’m so sleepy.

Eh?

Li… Li Zheng Big Brother?”

Seeing her quarters surrounded by people, the young girl got a fright, instantly a little more lucid.

“Sister Yan, Sister Zhan, Brother Phoenix Mountain… why are you all… ah! Pervert! Why aren’t you wearing pants!”

The moment she saw Chu Xiao, Li Chun’s face flushed with embarrassment, and she ran back into the capsule residence.

Chu Xiao: “???”

He opened his windbreaker to reveal a very snug pair of boxers, vigorously proving to everyone that he was, indeed, wearing pants.
