Chapter 465 - 465 400 The C Level Personnel Who Was So Angry

Chapter 465: Chapter 400: The C Level Personnel Who Was So Angry He Lost Control._2 Chapter 465: Chapter 400: The C Level Personnel Who Was So Angry He Lost Control._2 If I had seized the opportunity, I might have held on for a few more seconds…

But…

Such opportunities were too fleeting, too hard to grasp.

Thus, I was left unable to care for myself, constantly being beaten, feeling intense pain all over my body along with the sound of bones breaking.

As I was being pummeled, time seemed to stretch on forever. Then I glanced at the countdown on my retina.

“How has only less than two minutes passed…”

In desperation, I realized that this C Level Personnel, who had started out “guiding” me, was becoming more and more irritable, more and more dissatisfied…

“Too weak! Too weak! Too weak! You are just too weak!”

“Who is your instructor!?”

“Let them come over. Rather than suffering a contaminated life worse than death due to weakness in the future, it’s better to die together now!!!”

The C Level Personnel’s fury intensified, veins in his eyes branching out as if his emotions were getting out of control.

What he despised the most was employees whose “deeds (items) did not match their positions.”

So many more capable members were struggling on the dangerous front lines, needing items that matched their own capabilities. Yet, with such unequal distribution, some still occupied spots without producing results…

It was unforgivable!

The rising rage led to the onset of a loss of control within him, suppressing rational thought, taking over more dominantly…

Several seconds later.

He lost control.

Bang!

In the final ten seconds before reaching three minutes, “Life Mentor Adorable,” who was being beaten, suddenly found that everything seemed to have reset to the beginning.

He still had three lives left.

However, more saddening than this discovery was the fact that he didn’t even know how he had just been killed.

Meanwhile, not only him but all employees except those on Colin’s battlefield were currently enduring the most straightforward and unadorned beatings.

Whether they were solo or in a team, hardly anyone could last three minutes.

In less than ten minutes, a large number of employees, full of fighting spirit, were forcibly ejected from the mission by a pair of iron fists.

“What kind of monster is this? How can a C Level Personnel be this monstrously strong? It’s not scientific…”

“Exactly, F Level can take on D Level with a chance, but D Level going up against C Level, there’s just no hope. The gap is even bigger than that between me and the dog downstairs from my house…”

“It’s not impossible, I can feel that he’s training us, constantly giving us chances, or else we wouldn’t be able to last even ten seconds. By the way, what about the Elder Brother who wanted to solo it earlier, did he make it through?”

“Indeed, he asked me if I were the closer, and I just told him ‘I am your grandpa’, and then I was done for…”

“Damn, look at the mission details, someone’s made it! First kill!”

“Who?”

“It’s Brother Shunzi…”

“…”

In the midst of numerous complaints and wailing from the company, Colin exited “The Nightmare Source of a Dying Ancient God” and couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath, feeling aches all over his body.

“Hss… I can hold out for ten minutes, but that’s just it.”

Colin rubbed his body, as if he could feel an indescribable phantom pain.

Compared to last time, this time he was much better off due to item upgrades and his own enhancements, and it was not a one-sided beating.

Of course, “The Light Chaser’s” private training also had a significant effect.

Otherwise, even if his hardware had caught up, without the right software, he might not have cleared it on the first try…

And indeed, he even forced his opponent to use a weapon, pulling out the rust-covered longsword from the ground. After that, his first life was lost…

Colin could only recall how his opponent seemed to flash into eighteen silhouettes, each silhouette drawing a space-cleaving slash.

He was struck dead on the spot, reduced to a pile of broken flesh.

“That C Level Elder Brother’s sword seems to be an orange-grade equipment too. The D Level employee who was a Fate Propeller didn’t even bother to share this crucial information with me, leaving me completely unprepared for the assault…”

“Compared to the ‘Heavenly Lightfall’ move, this eighteen-flash move combined with an orange-grade sword is the real killer move.”

“An instant eighteen fatal strikes, ‘Deadly Insight’ is useless to even see, at most, you just know how you’re going to die…”

Colin felt a lingering fear, as even when he had used Time Stop, he was still attacked by the opponent.

Even within the Time Stop, that thing completely enveloped him without any dead angle, leaving him no chance to escape.

The only way to dodge was to use another Golden Card “Force – Repulsive Force” at the same time, and within the effective range, repel all the attacks…

But, the C Level Elder Brother reacted quickly too, and after discovering it once, would change to forcing him to use either “Force Repulsion” or “Time Freeze” with each strike…

As for the performance of another Golden Artifact “Shield of Fairness Adjudication,” it was somewhat less than ideal.

Because the opponent was too well-rounded, Colin couldn’t find any really good points of restriction.

“This reminds me, to use the ‘Shield of Fairness Adjudication,’ I have to find a point where I’m clearly superior to the opponent, otherwise, I’m afraid I’d be the one turned into a slave.”

“However, this feeling of fighting with all my might is truly comfortable, and my next goal is to force the opponent to initiate ‘Item Liberation’.”

“Oh right, speaking of which, why wasn’t this orange gear in the selection list?”

Colin couldn’t help but grumble.

If there had been a choice of orange gear, he wouldn’t have chosen something like a lousy Fire Tree Mark.

Now, as he worked on fully restoring “Revolver Reverser” and was recasting the glory of orange gear items, he knew just how powerful items of that level were.

He would never again think of them as chicken ribs that were a pity to discard.

‘Sometimes, I really should look at my own issues, whether I have been seriously developing the full potential of items, whether I have been diligently reviewing missions…’

He scoffed inwardly,

and then, refocusing his thoughts, Colin opened the “Storage Room” to check out the Green Talent he had obtained from clearing the stage.

[“Return to the Fundamentals” effect: In a battle before using a ‘signature move,’ you will receive a 10% to 1% improvement based on your own quality and strength. The stronger you are, the weaker the effect.]

“Note”: Currently can improve by 5.1%.

“Signature Move Determination”: “Matchless Strike,” “Heavenly Lightfall”…

…

“An improvement of five-point-one percent, this effect is actually quite okay.”

Colin nodded and then equipped it in another Talent Grid slot that had been freed up since he reached D Level.

“There’s no good choice for ‘Skills’ yet, but I can learn them stealthily, see if there’s a chance to steal one from ‘The Light Chaser’ or C Level Personnel…”

With this in mind, Colin reopened the task from the C Level Elder Brother and started training.

For the next day, he nearly soaked himself in the “Self-selected Trial Event,” constantly trying to improve himself.

This employee with extremely high combat experience would always swiftly detect his weaknesses and then launch an attack targeted at them.

And Colin would patch up his vulnerabilities quickly…

His previously floating strength gradually began to settle and solidify in the course of battles.

Unfortunately, it was still quite difficult to force the C Level Elder Brother into “Item Liberation.”

However, compared to his now “enjoyment” of the battle, other employees, after being beaten up, would even cry out in their sleep not to hit them anymore, no longer maintaining their previously optimistic attitude after one experience…

After all, those punches coming down were quite painful.

But even so, most employees still chose to continue paying money to enter the instance.

It wasn’t because they enjoyed getting hit, but because they realized that following what the C Level Elder Brother had said…

Their strength had indeed improved significantly.

Some employees even felt that their abilities had started to catch up little by little with the D Level elites they encountered on the ‘Chaotic Phantom Train’…

“It’s a pity, ‘Chaotic Phantom Train’ is gone, or else if we went as a team now to face them head-on, maybe we would have a chance to win.” A D Level Personnel couldn’t help but regret.

Many other D Level Personnel who had risen from that instance echoed the sentiment…

Another half-day went by, and just as Colin exited the instance, he saw a new mission appear.

“Take the place of ‘Dawn Star’ to respond to the follower’s call…”
