Yamano Shiro was furious, and his subordinates were suffering.
"What kind of pet is that!?" Yamano Shiro gritted his teeth, "One-shot kill on a 4-star King level!! Investigate! I don't care about the cost!"
"Leader, before the world chat was closed, someone from Zone 109 had already offered the information for 60,000 gold coins!"
"Argh!"
"Leader, please calm down." Everyone collectively dodged, while Takeda Nigi was hit on the head by the teapot again. He vowed that he would have his revenge and bring down the leader, or else he could not call himself a man!
"Le... leader, that person said, people from other regions, like English and others, are also looking for him to buy the information. If we hesitate any longer..."
"Wait!" Yamano Shiro waved his hand, "There's still a 5-star King-level zombie! Don't rush to pay the money!"
"But what if he kills the 5-star King level? After all, his pet is really strong."
"You're good at talking, huh? Your words are pleasing, huh?"
"Leader, I'm sorry."
...
In Zone 109, Hawkins approached David, who had a sly smile on his face. "What's making you so happy?"
David closed the private chat channel: "What else could I do but find a way to make some pocket money~"
"Just now, I saw your private chat. 30,000 end-of-world gold coins are called pocket money?"
"Well, I just set a small goal for myself."
"Haven't you noticed that Guteman's Good Person Well and Ming's Maze seem to share similarities? Do you think Guteman could be Ming?"
"They're not the same person."
"Really? Why do you say that?"
"Right, we've cooperated with Guteman in battles so many times, and we've never seen him with a small pet capable of killing a 4-star King level in one hit. Besides, we haven't seen him with a cat either." David said this and looked up at the distance, admiring, "Killing a 4-star King level in a single hit, now I finally understand why Ming can progress so smoothly. He must be the strongest and wealthiest puppet master in this world! I wonder how I can find a chance to do business with him."
"Well, maybe the thought processes of the strong are indeed extraordinary," Hawkins sighed and turned to leave, "I won't keep you from making money."
"Alright." David waved with a smile, squatted down, and opened a private chat, cursing the rule in his heart. It's so annoying that the chat channel is closed at such a crucial time. I'm just trying to do a legitimate business here, and that's 30,000 gold coins! Now I can only wait for 24 hours to pass.
...
Inside the instance, Ming felt a bit uncomfortable because the just-appeared zombie was a brown-haired female. It had a muscular body, and its figure was quite tight. But that was not the point.
The main point was that it finally had an additional upper garment on it, so he could finally make some money. However, it was taken away by Da Vinci!
That guy acted too quickly, and most importantly, Ming still had many ideas that he hadn't experimented with yet.
One minute was not enough to complete all his inspirations for building things. Da Vinci, let's settle this back at home.
[Your Da Vinci returns to the corner, excitedly chatting with Foodie about Ming's new 'wife': not too tall, a delicate face, not inferior to Alice, and most importantly, a sturdy body...the kind that looks very durable...]
[Foodie doesn't understand what 'durable' means. Ming doesn't engage in domestic violence, does he?]
[Da Vinci glances at Foodie. I mean, Ming is the one who's durable hit... Foodie looks at you...]
[Your Foodie eats various fish you've offered... sweet and sour fish, braised fish, steamed fish... Foodie feels so stuffed that it wants to throw up...]
[Ming is feeding his pets]
[He continues to feed his pets]
[Ming starts to eat by himself]
[His pet snatches the food from his mouth]
[Ming gently pets his pet]
[...]
54th District, the center of the district square.
"Such a lovely scene~"
"Damn, when I reach the second transformation, I must become a puppet master!"
"Yeah, I met a puppet master from the 109th District last time. He went out with a puppet army, so majestic and imposing, yet very kind to people. He even gave me a few coconuts."
"You must be talking about Alan. I've met him too. Rumor has it that his most powerful puppets are those two female zombies."
"Right, I've heard that legend too. Those two female zombies can single-handedly kill 3-star King-level zombies."
"That's just amazing."
"…"
In the back of the crowd, wearing a cloak to cover his wings, Dimon looked into the distance, sending his blessings to Russell, "I'm doing much better now. You must also strive to survive. I want to tell you that the puppet master you encountered last time is very likely to be Alan."
…
[1-minute break is over… In the final round, a 5-star King-level zombie enters]
[It once held the championship title for 12 consecutive times, achieving 24 or more consecutive victories in multiple seasons]
[It's a true king, a champion]
[Ming's pet charges towards the zombie again, but it doesn't seem to affect it and is repelled instead]
[…]
"Ha ha ha!" Yamano Shoujirou laughed out loud, looking at the crowd, "His pet is no match anymore! Ha ha!"
"Yes, yes~"
"Chairman, you are right."
"Chairman, do we still need to investigate his information?"
"Do you think it's necessary under the current circumstances?"
[…]
[Ming throws a steel ball in front of the zombie, causing it to fall to the ground]
[Ming glances at the zombie and instantly disappears into the maze]
[The zombie gets up and follows Ming into the maze]
[…]
After a brief observation, Ming estimates that this 5-star zombie is about 2.5 meters tall. No wonder Foodie couldn't knock it down, and its attributes are very formidable:
[King Champion Barbarian Kuet]
[5-Star King-Level Boss]
[blood: 60000/100000]
[Physique: 480/800]
[Strength: 540/900]
[Agility: 490/700]
[Spirit: 240/400]
[Exclusive Passive: Fierce Iron Fist, each hit on a target will cause 0.1 seconds of stiffness and 5 armor penetration]
[Exclusive Passive: Bronze Flesh, 50% physical damage resistance]
[Exclusive Talent: Champion's Light, has a chance to trigger Champion's Aura in battle, granting 3 seconds of invincibility]
[Exclusive Talent: Challenging the Champion, as a champion, countless opponents want to challenge it, making opponents unconsciously want to fight, commonly known as a built-in taunt. The more rounds the opponent fights with it, the more they want to continue, becoming unstoppable]
[Exclusive Talent: Strong Evasion]
[Exclusive Talent: Super Resilient, immune to immobilization, dizziness, etc.]
[Exclusive Talent: Lethal Strike]
[Weakness: This guy is all about exclusive passives, your tent won't be of any use here. You need to become stronger… maybe there's still a chance…]
Ming is speechless, looking at his attributes:
[Ming: LV34 - traveling Hunter]
[6 Titles]
[Constitution: 255]
[Strength: 271]
[Agility: 363]
[Spirit: 231]
With the current attributes, all stackable weapons and equipment have been added, as well as the attributes of the 6 titles and some special equipment attribute enhancements. Comparing the two, the weakness observation isn't wrong; it seems like Ming can only take a beating.
If he activates his maximum speed, he might be able to fight for about ten seconds or so.
Heh! The zombie appears behind him.
"Give me money!"
This tactic can also be considered a way to buy some time, as the opponent has to be stunned for a moment.
[Ming uses his exclusive skill on Zombie Kuet]
[While the zombie is stunned, Ming punches its face and runs away immediately after]
[…]
"Running away?" Ming, who has already reached the other side of the maze, sneers.
This is a tactical retreat, understand?
[Skill effect: Obtain 3,000 gold coins from the opponent]
Ding-ding~ 3,000 gold coins have been added to the account.
"Such a wealthy guy!"
Ming bites on a sobering peony, and after only a brief encounter, he feels the urge to rush up and beat Zombie Kuet.
It's not that he wants to be reckless, but the taunting attribute of [Challenging the Champion]is too strong. Even someone as rational and peace-loving as he wants to fight it. It's evident how much hatred it draws. Fortunately, he had bitten a sobering peony beforehand, so he wasn't affected by the taunt, and temporarily became amicable~
