BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15: A Lone Assault on the Teaching Building
Bonnie was already exhausted when she went to bed last night, only to have her nerves tormented by Jeremy and another all night long.
Now, Emma's voice still echoed in her mind, and she couldn't control the images that came with it even if she tried.
Watching Bonnie's angry, pretty face, Jeremy scoffed softly, "Losing sleep for one night is just a warning. If you dare to disturb me again, be careful, or I might strip you naked and throw you outside!"
"Vile!" Jeremy's blunt threat enraged Bonnie, her face flushing red, and she was at a loss for words for a while. Her good upbringing prevented her from uttering anything too offensive.
"Eavesdropping on people making love is what's truly vile." Jeremy retorted, then headed towards the bathroom.
He had monsters to grind and levels to gain, far too busy to waste time with Bonnie.
Oh, right.
Ritchie was still on the rooftop.
Jeremy wasn't too worried about it.
The rooftop of the teaching building was fairly safe. As long as Ritchie didn't do anything foolish, he should be fine.
Then, remembering Ritchie's character, Jeremy suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Keeping that guy from doing something foolish seemed like a tall order. Better go rescue him first...
Watching Jeremy completely ignore her and walk away, Bonnie's chest heaved, her face turning shades of green and white.
It was the first time she realized there could be someone so despicable and shameless in this world, blaming their own wrongdoings on her for supposedly spying on them.
At that moment, Eric also pushed open the door of the office.
Although he looked somewhat worn out, he was faring much better than Bonnie.
Eric had the foresight to choose a room not too far from Jeremy, anticipating what might happen.
The room was a bit dirty, but he managed to get some rest last night.
Glancing at Bonnie's complexion and then at Jeremy in the distance, Eric quickly grasped the situation.
Eric understood what was going on with the two of them after a little thought
He couldn't help but shake his head. This girl thinking she could contend with Jeremy was likely to be completely outplayed by him.
...
After washing up, Jeremy left some food for the three of them and then left the teaching building alone.
A day had passed, many monsters in the campus had leveled up to level 5. Some people had also awakened their abilities and started to cautiously grind monsters. Individuals like John had even reached level 4.
Jeremy walked into the stadium, where the remnants of the liquid bomb explosion were still visible. But the bodies, including the mutant kind and Lisa, had vanished, leaving behind only some bloodstains on the red track, silently testifying to the events that had occurred the day before.
In the stadium, students grinding monsters looked up at Jeremy with awe in their eyes.
Even those who hadn't witnessed Jeremy's display of might the day before had, over the course of the night, come to know of his ferocious achievements.
The more they knew about the monsters' ferocity, the more they understood the terror that was Jeremy. While they struggled to take down a mere level 1 common monster, he was already capable of soloing level 8 elite monsters!
Jeremy took this as par for the course. Wherever he went, formidable strength always earned him respect and awe.
Ignoring the gazes of others, his eyes scanned a group of monsters, eventually settling on a few level 5 Minotaur creatures.
After killing the mutant kind, Jeremy had reached level 7, Level 1 and 2 monsters offered little improvement for him, so he had no intention of wasting time and energy on these lower-level creatures.
Taking out a fang dagger from his inventory, Jeremy, clad in a black tiger skin coat, walked towards the Minotaurs.
[Minotaur Warrior (Common)]
[Level]: lv5
[Attack]: 73-76
[Defense]: 24
[Skills]: Swipe, Charge
[Hint]: High strength but slow movement. Exploding its lower body yields 1 tier-1 energy crystal.
Jeremy made a curious face.
According to the hint from The Eye of Omniscience, these creatures could drop tier-1 energy crystals.
However… the method was somewhat peculiar.
The Minotaur Warriors, at this point, had no idea what they were about to face.
Seeing Jeremy walking towards them, one by one, the cow headed population let out excited moos and rushed towards Jeremy with an axe in hand.
For monsters, the quickest way to enhance their strength is to devour players, especially advanced players. In their eyes, it is the ultimate delicacy, emitting irresistible temptations all over their bodies.
Sighing as the monsters charged towards him, Jeremy's expression changed.
When he looked up again, the emotion in his eyes replaced by a dense killing intent.
The Minotaur Warriors had already reached him, swinging their axes towards Jeremy's head, a hit that could potentially crack his skull open on impact.
Shadow Step!
Suddenly, a glimmer of pale blue light surfaced on Jeremy, his speed surged.
Dodging the Minotaur's axe with a sidestep, his gaze turned icy, and he stabbed... right into the creature's lower body.
Blood splattered everywhere!
The excited expression on the Minotaur Warrior's face instantly froze, its eyes bulging like ping pong balls.
It glanced incredulously at its now-empty loincloth, followed by a shrill scream, before its muscular body heavily fell to the ground.
[You have killed a level 5 Minotaur, gaining 103 experience points!]
The rest of the Minotaurs, witnessing the gruesome death of their kind, shuddered in unison, their bovine eyes filled with fear as they looked at Jeremy.
How could this human… How could this human be so ruthless?!
Jeremy, expressionless, moved among the Minotaurs like a wraith. Each time his fang dagger struck, a Minotaur would let out a shrill scream of agony.
In just about ten minutes, all the Minotaurs lay on the ground, eyes wide open, their lower bodies drenched in blood, motionless.
John and a few other players, who had hoped to learn something from Jeremy, couldn't help but swallow hard at the sight.
The short boy, George, said in a parched voice, "Do we… do we have to learn this move? Isn't it a bit too sinister?"
John adjusted his glasses, teeth clenched, "Learn it! We must! Didn't you see those monsters couldn't get up after Jeremy attacked their lower body? That proves this move works!"
Hedy had an epiphany, "You're right. Jeremy must have discovered their weakness. I'll give it a try first!"
Saying this, Hedy, wielding a baseball bat found who-knows-where, swung it a few times and excitedly walked towards some werewolves.
Watching Hedy swing her bat, making a werewolf howl in agony.
Everley said after a moment of silence, "Why do I feel like she really enjoys this way of attacking?"
John and the others didn't speak, just unconsciously crossing their legs tighter.
Of course, Jeremy was unaware that his method of killing Minotaurs had been adopted by others.
Holding his fang dagger, he continued to mow down any monster that stood in his way, stabbing anything that blocked his path with his current strength, there were few monsters in the campus that could stand against him.
[You have killed a level 5 Black Bear, gaining 99 experience points!]
[You have killed a level 6 Mutant, gaining 166 experience points!]
]You have killed a level 5 Half-Orc, gaining 101 experience points!]
…
One notification after another appeared, Jeremy's experience points began to soar at an astonishing rate.
By the time he reached the teaching building, his body was enveloped in the light of leveling up. [Congratulations, player level has increased to 8, you have gained 10 free attribute points.]
The level-up notification appeared before Jeremy, who did not pause, continuing his rush towards the rooftop.
Meanwhile, the commotion Jeremy caused downstairs quickly drew the attention of other monsters in the teaching building.
Monsters crowded the corridors, swarming towards Jeremy like a tide, enough to make anyone's scalp tingle.
Jeremy's expression was cold, a pale blue light suddenly emanating from his dagger, then he swung it fiercely.
Gale Slash!
A fierce blade light instantly flew towards the swarming monsters.
Seven or eight monsters were cut through their necks and bodies by Jeremy's skill.
But the number of monsters in the teaching building was just too vast, and Jeremy's attack was only a drop in the bucket.
Facing the oncoming tide of monsters, Jeremy, with a thought, took out his last liquid bomb.
He threw it directly into the crowd of monsters.
