Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 3 My Peaceful Coexistence with the Lion Dog

"Ding! The battle space is a closed, temporary space designed to ensure that the battle will not be disturbed by outsiders. It will shatter after the battle ends!"

"Ding! The order of action for both sides in the battle has been determined based on speed. Sword Immortal Lu Chaoding, it's your turn now!"

A system notification sounded.

"It's my turn now?"

An operation window appeared in front of Lu Chao, and he began to study it silently.

To others, he appeared to be standing there with his hands in his pockets, looking completely dumbfounded.

Zhao Weike said, "Let me explain to everyone. When we enter the battle, it's like everyone on both sides is at the starting line of a 10000-meter circular track. We start running at our own speeds at the same time. Once we reach the finish line, we can take action. This action is called a round. Within a round, we can launch one normal attack, combat skill, or ultimate skill. Lu Chaoding is a sword immortal. His sword immortal talent, Sword Control, increases his speed by 5 points. He is the fastest of the four of us, so he will reach the finish line first and take action first. Hey you, Lu Chaoding, why don't you make your move?"

Lu Chao shouted, "Oh no, I've been disconnected!"

After speaking, his expression froze, and he remained motionless.

That's obviously an act.

What are you fighting for?

Clever as he is, he has already discovered an action bar. He only has two minutes to act, and the round will automatically end if the timeout expires.

"My goal is to wipe them all out!"

Lu Chaoding was determined not to make a move and would wait for the round to end automatically, determined to get the tenfold reward.

This made the others very anxious.

"Disconnected? My true form disconnected during the time travel? You're kidding me!"

"Stop fooling around, hurry up and make your move!"

"Hey, what are you spacing out for?"

"Whoever peees yellow, wake them up!"

"Damn it..."

Despite being urged by Zhang Defa and others, Lu Chao remained expressionless and did not respond.

Finally, two minutes passed, Lu Chaoding's turn ended, and the system gave a notification that it was Sword God Zhang Defa's turn to act.

Zhao Weike and the other two were dumbfounded.

"That bastard really didn't attack!"

"Is he here to cause trouble?"

"I told you not to bring him..."

After grumbling for a while, Zhang Defa looked at Zhao Weike and asked, "Captain, what should we do?"

"What do we do?" Zhao Weike glared fiercely at the motionless Lu Chaoding and said, "Fighting the Boiling Blood Lion Dog is easy with four newbies in a team; they can just close their eyes and attack. But with three people, they definitely can't win! Fine, whatever, just attack. Consider it an experience. I'll kick Lu Chaoding out later, and we'll start over!"

"good!"

Zhang Defa nodded upon hearing this. He couldn't wait to point at the Boiling Blood Lion Dog, and his Novice Wooden Sword appeared in mid-air above the Lion Dog's head. Then, it slammed down and struck. After the strike, the Novice Wooden Sword disappeared, and another bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking the Lion Dog's head.

"-10"

"-1, Kamui!"

Damage numbers appeared above the lion dog's head; its health bar decreased slightly, and its white bar also decreased by two-thirds.

Zhao Weike said, "The Sword God's professional talent is [Divine Might], which adds 10% Heavenly Thunder follow-up damage to each attack. Did you notice the white bars above the monsters' heads? That represents resilience. If resilience isn't broken, damage reduction is 50%! So breaking resilience is extremely important in battle. Breaking resilience is also called breaking shields. It doesn't depend on attack power, only on the number of attacks. Generally, one hit on a target will reduce its resilience by one point! The resilience of monsters is usually only one or two points, elites no more than twelve points, and bosses are basically around twenty points. For example, this lion dog had three points of resilience. Zhang Defa used a normal attack and a Divine Might follow-up lightning strike, reducing its resilience by a total of two points! Wang Yingluo, you can continue attacking!"

"oh!"

Wang Yingluo obediently nodded in agreement. Her turn began, and she ran towards the lion dog, struck it on the head with a sword, and then quickly ran back.

"-10"

"Breaking through the toughness!"

Damage numbers appeared above the lion dog's head, and the white bar emptied completely.

Wang Yingluo, however, was somewhat dissatisfied, saying, "Melee combat requires running around all the time, which is really annoying! And without critical hits, the damage output is so low!"

Zhao Weike said, "The Sword Saint's talent is called [Critical Strike]. At LV1, it increases critical strike chance by 5% and base critical strike damage by 5%. It seems like an offensive talent, but closed beta experience shows that the Sword Saint is actually a support!"

"Why?" Wang Yingluo asked, puzzled.

"Because of secret techniques, combat skills, and ultimate skills, the Sword Saint's skills include Sacred Heart, Combo, Sword Intent, Flying Flowers, Startling Swan, Falling Moon, etc., many of which have auxiliary effects, such as increasing the attack of teammates, reducing the defense of monsters, and so on. You will know more about them later."

As Zhao Weike spoke, his turn had arrived. He was equipped with a one-star iron sword with an attack power of 30 points. He slashed with his sword, dealing full damage, and the lion dog lost another 30 points of health.

Now it was the Boiling Blood Lion Dog's turn to act. It howled and wiggled its rear end as it ran toward Zhao Weike, crashing headfirst into his stomach.

"-40"

"Breaking through the toughness!"

The white bar above Zhao Weike's head was empty, and his health bar had decreased by a little over half. He shook his head and said, "The monsters' aggro is based on cumulative damage output. Whoever has the highest cumulative damage output will be attacked! It's our turn again. Forget it, don't struggle. The sooner we die, the sooner we can be reborn."

This beta tester had already given up and was ready to give up.

Zhang Defa and Wang Yingluo were still very motivated, while Lu Chaoding remained motionless for another round. They took turns attacking, with the former dealing "22" damage with one sword strike and the latter dealing "20" damage with one sword strike.

Zhao Weike also unleashed a sword strike, and then Boiling Blood Lion Dog's turn began, as he continued to attack Zhao Weike, who had the highest cumulative damage output.

"-80!"

Zhao Weike's health bar was depleted, and he knelt on the ground, using his iron sword to support himself. His entire body turned gray.

"I'm going to lie down first, you guys continue!"

He was still able to speak.

Lu Chao was startled and exclaimed, "Hey, you're dead, how can you still talk!"

Zhao Weike was stunned for a moment, then glared at Lu Chao and shouted, "You idiot! Didn't you disconnect? How can you talk when you're disconnected?"

"Just reconnected... Oh no, I'm disconnected again!"

Lu Chaoding quickly continued to play dumb!

"Oh my god, you're really here to cause trouble!"

"I'm so annoyed!"

"Captain, let's have the whole village boycott this idiot!"

Zhao Weike and his two companions then launched into another tirade against Yitong.

Lu Chao put his hands in his pockets, thinking to himself, "It's not that I'm cheating you, it's just that the system is giving me too much."

Soon, Lu Chaoding's round ended due to timeout.

Zhang Defa and Wang Yingluo stubbornly continued to attack the Lion Dog. When the Bloodlust Lion Dog's turn began, Zhang Defa had the highest cumulative output, and the Bloodlust Lion Dog began to attack him.

One attack breaks the toughness, two attacks kill instantly!

Zhang Defa quickly knelt down on the ground as well, and together with Zhao Weike, they began to curse Lu Chao.

Lu Chao and the Lion Dog coexisted peacefully. The Lion Dog then began to attack Wang Yingluo, achieving a triple kill in two rounds, and Wang Yingluo was defeated.

At this point, Boiling Blood Lion had 149 health points remaining. Lu Chaoding remained motionless, and four minutes later, Boiling Blood Lion defeated him.

"Ding! Your team is no longer able to continue fighting!"

"Ding, dungeon clear failed!"

"Ding! You have been kicked out of the team by player Zhao Weike!"

"Ding! The Occasionally Unreliable System has been activated. Rewards have been calculated: Gold +10, Cultivation +100, Unreliable Lottery Tickets +10. Items have been automatically stored in your storage space. Please check them."

With a system notification, Lu Chaoding was forcibly teleported out of the Lion Cave and back to the entrance of the instance.

"Lu Chaoding, you big jerk, get the hell out of here, and never let me see you again!"

"How could there be such a jerk in our village!"

"Fake disconnection? Are you out of your mind?"

Zhao Weike and the other two naturally launched into another tirade against Lu Chao.

Lu Chao didn't even blink; he had already silently opened his storage space and started taking stock of his spoils.

The gold coins lay quietly in the first storage compartment of the storage space, exactly ten of them.

No deduction!

This put Lu Chao at ease.

[Cultivation] is sent directly to the attribute panel and can be used to level up or increase skill levels.

The ten unreliable lottery tickets were what made Lu Chaoding the happiest.

He has already discovered that [Hongchen Sword Realm] is a gacha game.

Looking at the attributes of those ten unreliable lottery tickets, they were all different.

The odds of winning for each of these unreliable lottery tickets are actually randomly generated.

"Random effect: The probability of drawing compressed cookies is 99%!"

"Random effect: The chance of drawing Black Iron Ingots is 50%!"

"Random effect: The chance of drawing a fine iron ingot is 100%!"

"Random effect: The chance of drawing a five-star item is 0%!"

"Random effect: The chance of drawing two-star weapons is greatly increased..."
