Li Nianlong's eyes turned red. No! Absolutely not! I can't fail! I must complete the mission! I need experience! I need money! I need equipment!
Filled with killing intent, Li Nianlong pulled out a huge steel wolf's fang baton and chased after the bio-human.
Closer, getting closer, closer and closer. Finally, when the bio-human was just one step away, Li Nianlong swung the baton horizontally, fiercely striking the bio-human's face. In the next moment, the bio-human was swept by the tremendous impact force of the steel wolf's fang baton, splitting its neck open halfway, lubricant splashing out. Its head swayed unsteadily, connected to its body only by half of its neck, a horrifying sight.
After the attack, Li Nianlong revealed his figure, and the bio-human instinctively launched a roundhouse kick. Its foot grazed Li Nianlong's chest, tearing his outer garment with a strong airflow. However, the remaining force was blocked by his fish-scale armor, causing no harm. Despite this, Li Nianlong's expression turned serious, as the bio-human's combat awareness kept him on edge. As the bio-human struggled to regain its footing, Li Nianlong continued to wield his wolf's fang baton accurately, dealing massive damage to the bio-human.
With an intelligence calculation of 183 points, Li Nianlong continuously targeted the bio-human's broken neck in his attacks. Though they were bio-humans, once their head and body were separated, they would definitely enter an unfavorable state. The fact that they were called "bio-humans" rather than just "bio" indicated their similarities with humans. Humans can lose limbs and survive, but losing their head would certainly lead to death. Therefore, bio-humans, created by humans, must have similar weaknesses.
Perhaps it was because the Dream Fantasy System was born for combat, Li Nianlong's intelligence of 183 points wasn't very apparent in daily life, but in battle, it could display extraordinary computational ability. It was precisely with increasingly high combat awareness that Li Nianlong could emerge victorious against stronger opponents, turning danger into opportunity.
Repeatedly targeting the neck, the bio-human struggled to keep up. Its attacks were all blocked by the steel shield, but the heavy equipment of the shield and the wolf's fang baton slowed down Li Nianlong's attack speed, making it difficult for him to finish the opponent quickly.
As time passed, Li Nianlong's mind became calmer. The heavy equipment reduced his speed by about 15%, creating a 5% difference in speed between him and the bio-human. If he could increase his speed by about 10%, defeating the bio-human wouldn't be difficult. However, this 10% increase seemed like an insurmountable barrier, hindering Li Nianlong's path to victory.
At a critical moment, his exceptionally high intelligence once again came into play. With a flash of inspiration, Li Nianlong swung his wolf's fang baton, forcing the bio-human back. In that moment of retreat, Li Nianlong took out the helmet of the Divine Movement Set from his inventory and quickly put it on. The 50 speed immediately gave him a 50% speed boost.
Instantly, Li Nianlong's attack speed increased out of thin air. The bio-human, who had always had the speed advantage, became a sitting duck.
Unable to land a hit and with weak defense, the bio-human's neck was broken by Li Nianlong's baton in just a few strikes. As expected, the bio-human's body and head separated. Although it didn't die immediately, its mobility was greatly affected, its balance gone. Its body could only crawl on the ground.
Li Nianlong immediately rushed over and dismantled the bio-human's body into parts within moments.
With its body gone, leaving only a head, the bio-human lay quietly on the ground, its eyes staring at Li Nianlong behind the tiger mask. A voice devoid of any emotion emanated from its mouth: "Are you Kung Fu Panda?"
"Don't waste your efforts. I won't leave any clues for you." Li Nianlong's voice turned hoarse as he raised the steel wolf's fang baton and smashed it fiercely on the bio-human's head. In the next moment, the bio-human's head turned into a piece of scrap iron.
"Eliminate bio-human, experience +30000, money +10000, obtain item: Finger Gun. Experience full, level up!"
With a flash of golden light, Li Nianlong reached level 29. The exhaustion from the previous battle was completely replenished, and he also obtained an oddly named item—the Finger Gun.
Taking it out for a look, it looked like a thick iron tube worn on the fingers. Li Nianlong suddenly realized that this was the Finger Gun.
Finger Gun: +100 damage, attack range 100 meters, bio-human finger-modified firearm, immense power, extremely wide attack range, firing rate 5/s, unlimited ammunition.
A very powerful weapon with considerable attack power, a range of 100 meters, and a firing rate of five bullets per second. Most importantly, the bullets were unlimited. This would be a formidable artifact against lower-level monsters that were afraid of bullets.
Too strong!
Before he could rejoice, his keen ears caught the sound of another bio-human approaching. Li Nianlong immediately stored the dismantled bio-human in his inventory and focused his attention.
In the next moment, the second bio-human appeared in front of Li Nianlong. Its cold, lifeless eyes stared at Li Nianlong as it asked in a voice devoid of any emotion, "Did you destroy 003?"
003? Was that the previous bio-human's designation?
Li Nianlong asked casually, "Are you 00-something?"
"I am 002. Are you Kung Fu Panda?"
"A dead man doesn't need to know so much." As the words fell, Li Nianlong charged forward.
002 and 003 were of the same model of bio-humans. With the experience of dealing with 003, Li Nianlong dismantled 002 into pieces in less than a minute. The experience, money, and equipment obtained were exactly the same.
Putting away the steel shield and the steel wolf's fang baton, Li Nianlong put the two finger guns on his index fingers, making a gesture of holding a handgun, and aimed at a rock by the roadside. The huge rock was immediately pierced by bullets, with some bullets causing explosions, scattering the rock fragments. In no time, the half-meter-high rock was shot into pieces.
Li Nianlong was very satisfied with the firing rate and power of the finger guns. Invisibly, they provided him with a new choice for hunting, making long-range shooting much easier than close combat.
Having eliminated two bio-humans without obtaining more information, Li Nianlong felt the inconvenience caused by the lack of intelligence. With sufficient intelligence, at least completing side missions would be no problem.
Thinking of intelligence, Li Nianlong thought of the Black Rat Gang. In Tianfu, there were quite a few people who knew about the Black Rat Gang, but few knew that it was the largest intelligence organization in Tianfu. Li Nianlong happened to be one of the few, because his college roommate was the deputy leader of the Black Rat Gang.
Although Li Nianlong couldn't be considered a nobleman due to Long Qingyun's departure years ago, the wealth Long Qingyun provided to Li Ying and the others every month was enough to elevate them into the upper echelons of society. It was easier for people of high status to connect with each other, and they were willing to maintain good relations. Li Nianlong and the deputy leader of the Black Rat Gang became acquainted during their college days, but they lost touch after graduation.
The reasons were twofold: the deputy leader had to inherit the family business, leading to frequent social engagements, and Li Nianlong lacked the hardware conditions for purchasing intelligence. He didn't make enemies or form alliances, kept a low profile, and avoided conflicts. What intelligence could he buy? Moreover, Li Nianlong's status at the time was much lower than that of the deputy leader. With a strong sense of self-respect, Li Nianlong didn't want to be accused of currying favor with others. Perhaps the deputy leader understood this as well, so their relationship quickly faded after graduation.
