Chapter 105: The Third Layer's Gatekeeper Boss
Chapter 105: The Third Layer's Gatekeeper Boss
In the underground cavern's secret realm management backend of Quancheng, several administrators responsible for backend maintenance were left dumbfounded as they watched the surveillance footage of the third layer. On one side, dozens of summoned beasts crowded together amidst the smoke, while on the other, Li Wu swiftly advanced through the third layer with his Mini Skeleton.
These administrators were so astounded that they almost knelt before the monitors.
From the moment Li Wu entered the secret realm, his crazy moves never ceased.
Within just 5 minutes, he managed to locate the gatekeeper boss of the second layer without encountering any summoned beasts, and effortlessly exploited a bug glitch to easily defeat it.
In less than 8 minutes, Li Wu swiftly cleared the second layer, becoming the second-fastest to pass the initial trial (the first being an incredibly lucky player who landed right next to the gatekeeper boss).
Upon entering the third layer, Li Wu further utilized the bug glitch and, within half an hour, effortlessly cleared 15 three-star summoned beasts.
With this skill, he directly charged into the top 100 of the ranking board.
Reaching the top 100 on the ranking board was no small feat, considering that tens of thousands of players visited this secret realm annually, and it had been operating for several decades. It was exceptionally challenging to secure a spot in the top 100.
However, Li Wu managed to break into the top 100 in just half an hour by exploiting the bug glitch.
This left the administrators with no choice but to step in and fix the bug.
They arranged for dozens of summoned beasts to approach from three different directions simultaneously.
Although their plan did provide Li Wu with an escape route, allowing him to get away, they never anticipated how effortlessly he would do so.
Li Wu easily found the only escape route and even set up a backup plan to restrict those summoned beasts.
Not only did he escape unscathed, but he was also cheerfully preparing to take on the third layer's gatekeeper boss.
These secret realm maintainers, who had guarded the realm for over a decade, had never encountered such a player.
"If this continues, will he really push through the third layer's boss?"
"He's already at 200 points. If he defeats the third layer's boss and enters the fourth layer, that girl will have to give up her top spot before even getting comfortable."
"It's highly unlikely. The third layer's gatekeeper boss is an elite-level opponent. Even though it's an ordinary-grade elite, it's not someone he can defeat. After all, his summoned beast is just a Mini Skeleton."
"Well, the Mini Skeleton is the weakest summoned beast, that's almost universally agreed upon. So, the Mini Skeleton should lose to the gatekeeper boss."
At this moment, a young man nearby spoke up, "Have you seen a 2-star Mini Skeleton with 3-star capabilities and electric attribute skills?"
"Besides, how can you be sure he doesn't have some other unusual tricks up his sleeve to deal with the gatekeeper boss?"
Upon hearing this, the maintainers recalled Li Wu's monster attraction and the little ball he used at the end. They reflected on Li Wu's identity and the fact that they had been scammed by breeders in the past, causing them to curse under their breath.
"Indeed, breeders are all schemers!"
...
Meanwhile, Li Wu was completely unaware that someone was watching his entire trial from the backend.
Currently, he was charging through the third layer with his Mini Skeleton.
In his previous life, whenever Li Wu watched 'The Most Powerful Brain,' he always thought it was exaggerated and unrealistic.
Everyone has a brain, but no one's intellect could be as extraordinary as portrayed on TV.
Concepts like 'memory palaces' and 'microscopic water analysis' were surely fictional.
However, now that he was in this situation, Li Wu realized that exceptionally intelligent people indeed possessed remarkable abilities.
For instance, with his information-gathering skills, he could effortlessly construct a holographic map of the third layer in his mind, with an accuracy rate of nearly 95%.
With his gifted mind, Li Wu, along with the little skull, arrived at the third layer's Gatekeeper Boss after just 10 minutes of navigating the area.
The maintenance staff at the backend were all alert, eager to witness Li Wu's unconventional tactics when facing the Gatekeeper Boss.
Each of them wanted to see if Li Wu would pull off any outrageous moves during the boss encounter.
And indeed, Li Wu did not disappoint. He had a move up his sleeve that they hadn't anticipated.
Instead of starting the battle with his summon beast, Li Wu took out a black metallic object from his backpack and approached the Gatekeeper Boss alone.
The administrators on the backend were baffled. One of them exclaimed, "What's he up to? Is he going to poison the boss?"
"I don't think so. Poisoning is definitely prohibited in the Mystic Realm, right?"
"Well, I don't think there's a rule against it!" The young man who had spoken before raised his hand again, "Some summon beasts have poison as their attribute, and besides, no one usually relies on external powers beyond summon beasts to clear the realm. So, there's no specific regulation about that."
A moment of silence fell over the backend, followed by collective anger. But they had no choice but to curse, "Damn it! Breeders are all scumbags!"
However, they were wrong about Li Wu's intentions. He wasn't planning to poison the boss.
He was just going to feed it.
On the monitor, Li Wu had already reached the Little Rock, the Gatekeeper Boss. "Little Rock, I have something for you to eat. Can I pet you?"
One Six One Nine Book Bar One Look No One Wrong Version!
Li Wu's proposal was quite tempting.
No, wait, it was very tempting to the rock!
Little Rock didn't hesitate and agreed, jumping to the edge of the safety zone.
Little Rock was about a meter tall, made up of seven stones, with facial features on the main stone. It had two hands, each consisting of three stones, but no feet.
It had a pair of big eyes and a small mouth, but no nose, making it look adorable and cute! As it approached, Li Wu handed over the black metal, and while it was eating, Li Wu took the opportunity to pet the little guy.

Description: Despite its strong defense, this little glutton with a simple mind can be manipulated, deceived, and have its emotions toyed with.
...
The system's description didn't sit well with Li Wu.
What kind of person did the system think he was? Was he the type to play with the emotions of summon beasts?
Well, Li Wu was willing to negotiate and deepen their bond.
"Hey, Little Rock, let's make a deal. When you fight my little skull, can you pretend to lose and surrender?"
"If you surrender, I'll bring you more of these treats next time!"
Little Rock's heart fluttered at the offer, but before it could agree, Li Wu's Realm Bracelet sounded an alarm.
[Warning! Warning!
Do not deceive, kidnap, or bribe the Gatekeeper Boss!]
The failed attempt at kidnapping left Li Wu feeling helpless.
"I wanted to interact as a regular summoner, but this is what I got in return.
There's nothing I can do. I'm going all out. Let's go, little skull, finish it off!"
With that, Li Wu grabbed his smartphone and smashed it to pieces with a loud crack...
