Chapter 1490 - 478: Fierce Battle with the Gamer (Part 3)

Even someone as strong as Lu Mingxuan must follow his own rules.

This headshot bullet should have taken away fifty percent of Lu Mingxuan's Life Value, but due to Lu Mingxuan's own phase-based blood lock mechanism, it only took away thirty percent of his Life Value.

Lu Mingxuan, entering Phase Two.

The entire scene froze instantly, the distance between Wen Xishu and Lu Mingxuan was pulled apart again.

This time, Wen Xishu suddenly discovered that the game had turned into a turn-based system.

Action is locked, requiring commands to complete a turn of attack.

In Wen Xishu's eyes, offense includes attacking, skills, defense, and resting.

Resting restores health and mana bars, while defense reduces damage.

Wen Xishu chose a skill, and in the skill bar, there was a skill called Sniping.

"Do your parents only have fixed dialogues to say to you?"

"Is their way of interacting with you also through dialogue boxes?"

"Does everyone use those pre-written texts in dialogue boxes to please you? It may be eternal, but is it really meaningful?"

"Are you also an electrophobic? Do you like silicon-based life forms?"

Even though the game had become turn-based, Wen Xishu's mouth did not stop.

"You can predict my moves, but can you predict what I will say, Lu Mingxuan? Or should I call you, Gamer?"

"In your eyes, I'm part of the game, but you can't predict what I will say, because I'm human, not the game."

The snipe was successfully launched.

Originally there was a ninety-nine percent chance of dodging, but because of Wen Xishu's words, it forcibly hit Lu Mingxuan.

That one percent chance was successfully seized by Wen Xishu with a mental attack strategy.

This time, the bullet took away twenty percent of Lu Mingxuan's Life Value.

Lu Mingxuan was supposed to launch an attack with memory summon.

Wen Xishu even saw it. The Sagittarius raised a huge sapphire bow, aiming at Wen Xishu's left side, while Albert swung his right hand, aiming at Wen Xishu's right side.

This was a fatal strike.

The most terrifying part of a turn-based system is that when it's the opponent's turn, you cannot avoid damage with various flashy moves.

Wen Xishu thought to himself it was close; if it hadn't forced an entry into the next stage, nullifying Lu Mingxuan's move... he would be dead for sure.

In Wen Xishu's memory, no one could withstand the combined Profound Meaning of these two top-level offensive powerhouses.

He had already consumed all the power potions, his strength was incredibly formidable at the moment, but seeing Sagittarius and Albert joined forces, he still knew that if he got hit, he would die instantly.

In phase two, Lu Mingxuan would summon the strongest existence in the opponent's memory to unleash a Profound Meaning strike.

Had Wen Xishu encountered a few fewer strong opponents, he might have been able to endure, but he just happened to know the human ceiling and the Twelve Constellations.

Fortunately, with a verbal attack, he made Lu Mingxuan unable to dodge the attack, forcibly dragging to phase three, nullifying Lu Mingxuan's skill.

Phase Three.

A roulette wheel suddenly appeared behind Lu Mingxuan.

"You have passed all types of tests. Now, let's see if you are truly 'proficient' in them."

The game scene suddenly changed, and on the roulette wheel, it read "Puzzle", "Hopscotch Parkour", "Shooting", "Fighting", "Luck Determination", "Strength Determination".

The roulette started to spin, and during the spin, Wen Xishu discovered that Lu Mingxuan was invincible.

In the first round, Wen Xishu drew Luck Determination.

If Luck Value is below fifty, direct death.

"Luck is also a part of strength... alright, you survived. But what about the next time?"

Lu Mingxuan spoke the lines he had long designed.

Wen Xishu was sweating profusely.

He had fifty-one points of Luck.

This was only achieved by continually triggering hidden mission rewards; if it were forty-nine points, he would have been dead already.

In the second round, Wen Xishu drew "Puzzle".

Wen Xishu needed to complete various mini-games set by Lu Mingxuan, and if he failed the challenge, he would die instantly.

The screen kept spinning until it finally froze on "Perfect Replay Theater". This was a level testing Wen Xishu's memory.

The surrounding scene began to change.

Wen Xishu found himself back in a previous challenge he had completed.

Now, he must flawlessly perform all the actions he did to clear the level before, replicating them one-to-one, or the game would fail.

Wen Xishu called this the Underworld, but his memory recovered, coupled with déjà vu accumulation, and since Wen Xishu mostly just called out the opponent's name and then brute-forced through, the process wasn't complicated, so Wen Xishu succeeded in replicating it without a hitch.

He completed one puzzle.

But he still couldn't attack Lu Mingxuan, and the roulette spun again. This time Wen Xishu got lucky, and the roulette showed "Strength Determination".

Those power potions weren't drunk for nothing, so Wen Xishu passed the strength determination directly. Undoubtedly, it was a victory of luck.

Even Lu Mingxuan was quite surprised... had it been Fighting or Shooting, Lu Mingxuan was confident he could kill Wen Xishu.

After successfully overcoming three consecutive roulette games, finally, the program triggered, and Lu Mingxuan suddenly appeared in a weakened state.

He was no longer invincible or unattackable.

This is like in games, where some bosses expose a brief vulnerability after continuous attacks.

Wen Xishu was very impressed.

Because Lu Mingxuan could have designed it to be more unsolvable.

This also proves his guess was right; even after being "taught", Lu Mingxuan is still a competent game designer.

Wen Xishu did not waste the opportunity and fired several shots.

Lu Mingxuan's Life Value began to drop rapidly, plummeting to below twenty-five percent.
