BXBX NOVEL Chapter 233 Brand New Cats
Chapter 233 Brand New Cats
The latter two dungeon instances had the advantage of using wide and complex terrains such as forests and jungles so Jin's monsters could be unpredictable and the cultivators could only take note of the possible flaws of the monsters, rather than making use of the terrain to their advantage.
The same could not be said about the Bank Heist Raid dungeon instance. Mainly because the cultivators could bring along someone with cultivation specializing in long-range attacks, such as Jing Ru, and as long as they managed to get hold of a good sniping platform, the cultivators would have some form of advantage against the monsters.
In terms of dungeon design, the cultivators liked the Bank Heist Raid because of its structure, but felt that once they learnt the layout, it was not much of a challenge at all. Hence, Jin decided to increase the difficulty by removing all the current equipment the werebeast had and gave them better and unique ones.
The werecats for example, were given weapons to help counter cultivators specialised in long, mid and short range.
Gun Knuckles and Sniper Whip.
Jin was inspired by Yem and Mer's choices of weapons and used the Dungeon Maker to create these two weapons for Nyanmi and Meomi. He initially wanted both of them to be proficient in those two weapons, but eventually decided against that. Having such a versatile weapon each already increased the werecat's combat proficiency by two fold.
Meomi did not say much when they landed on the arena platform and charged in with her Gun Knuckles towards Qiu Yue. Yet Qiu Yue did not flinch at the incoming strike of the werecat and faced her head on. Her knuckles clashed with Qiu Yue's Katana, but with a click by Meomi caused the knuckles to ignite a miniature explosion which knocked Qiu Yue's Katana away, forcing Qiu Yue to be wide open.
Meomi smirked as she went in for the strike with her other hand but Qiu Yue was quick enough to evade and block the incoming attack with her scabbard.
"Not Bad." Meomi whispered close to Qiu Yue as she jumped back to create some distance but Meomi was not done with her attack as she used her tail as a whip and slapped Qiu Yue with it before distancing herself away from Qiu Yue.
"Ahh, stupid cat!" Qiu Yue rubbed the bruise on her face before she stood her ground and tore the side of her skirt so that it did not restrict her movement. Now was not the time to care about decency. Now it was either she lives or that cat.
Meanwhile, Nyanmi was holding a wooden looking rifle with a medium sized scope as she gave an opening shot to Jin which he managed to evade effortlessly. He knew that Nyanmi was proficient in using long ranged weapons and a whip but she was not sufficiently competent in using the all new sniper whip.
The way the sniper whip worked was that it looked like an ordinary bolt action wooden rifle that required ammunition to be placed into the barrel before shooting though it lost the capability to automatically insert an ammo cartridge. But when the enemy came close, parts of the rifle would dismantle on the spot, connecting through a strong string of metal and nylon wires through the magic input by Nyanmi and the rifle would be turned into a whip with various parts that could be used to attack at any distance.
Not to mention, the wooden rifle itself could be used as a bat in close range combat. Hence, if Nyanmi attained sufficient proficiency in it, the ideal way of using the sniper whip would be to whip the enemy a few times, let it return to a normal rifle, quickly load a bullet in it and subsequently fire upon distraction.
Thankfully for the current arena, Nyanmi still needed time to get the hang of her new weapon so she was using one function at a time. This gave Jin the opportunity to continue looking weak as Qiu Yue fought against Meomi.
This was also a brilliant time to train his Perfectly Normal Parry Slash to a higher level since the attacks of an experienced whip user were more dangerous than three swordsmen fighting Jin. Hence, with his powers self suppressed for training, Jin entered the fray trying his best to counter against Nyanmi.
"Don't go easy on me!" Jin sent a voice transmission to Nyanmi in case she thought that she would be giving Jin a chance to survive while he was pretending.
"Haha, dream on Master, you still owe a debt of pain for previously hurting my beloved onee-sama!" Nyanmi returned her voice transmission to her master and pressed on with her attack.
Separately, as the battle raged on, Yun decided not to listen to Jin and purposely turned on his random arena battle dungeon instance in the auditorium hall with the fewest number of people in it. "Let's see if you can live up to your name as a boss." Yun said to herself as she continued to entertain the other customers in the shop instance.
Somehow, that unwritten challenge by Yun was picked up by the System and it issued an urgent mission to Jin. However, since Jin was fighting, the System decided to relay the message through Nyanmi instead but with a twist.
"Master, the big boss System said that it has an urgent mission for you." Nyanmi said via a voice transmission and Jin was surprised. "But you have to defeat me first to get that information."
"What?" Jin was so surprised, that he got distracted by the message and Nyanmi managed to strike a curve whip back attack on Jin, leaving behind a slightly broken hoodie and a wound.
"But, I do not like the System too much either. If not for you master, I would have stayed comfortably within the System's premise, although thanks to you I got to meet onee-sama. So, here's a tip. I will say it would be wise to continue to suppress your cultivation until you defeat me." Nyanmi winked at Jin who was reeling in from the pain, but she did not hesitate to shoot at Jin when the sniper whip changed back to a normal rifle.
"Shit!" Jin raised his Bam Katana up and with some luck on his side, the Perfectly Normal Parry Slash activated, cutting the bullet that was flying towards him into two. "I do not know what the System is playing at right now, when all I want is just to have some simple fun with Qiu Yue. If that's the case then so be it." Jin thought to himself and pulled down his hoodie to concentrate better on his fight against Nyanmi.
