Chapter 271 A Dream Come True
"Brother Risut!"
Amid the heart-wrenching roar, Melonie's eyes became moist.
This perverted killer, who could usually force strange women to bear his children without batting an eyelid, now began to cry like an ordinary, fragile person.
He knew that he was saved.
Risut used his last life to build such an electric road to victory.
The electric current flowed along the iron wire made from the iron in Risut's body, along the conductor made from Risut's flesh and blood, and rushed towards Li Qing with Risut's final will.
Li Qing's body began to tremble under the invasion of electric current.
His blood volume began to drop at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Risut bid farewell to the world forever in an electric shock.
Melonie's eyes became even more moist.
And in his complex and indescribable gaze, Li Qing's health was still decreasing...
But...how do I feel...
"The amount of blood has increased?!"
Meloni's feeling of being touched lasted only a second before it was replaced by an unprecedented shock:
He was horrified to find that after being pushed into the fatal electric shock state by Risut again, Li Qing, who had already lost half of his health in the fierce battle... was restored in an instant.
After his health suddenly returned to full , the speed at which Li Qing lost blood after being electrocuted suddenly slowed down significantly.
It was as if his tolerance to electric shock had suddenly become stronger.
Or in other words…
His body had become stronger in all aspects at the moment when Risut died just now.
"You didn't really think that I would stand there motionless for a few seconds because of the so-called 'aftereffects of electric shock'?"
"The paralysis lasted only a short moment after I got rid of the electric current. My body has fully recovered long ago."
Bathed in the electric current, Li Qing's voice seemed extremely calm.
It was as if the powerful electric current that was enough to take his life a few seconds ago was now nothing to him.
And this is exactly the case:
A few seconds ago, Li Qing, who was electrocuted, seemed to be firmly sucked by the current in the thin wire. His muscles were paralyzed and spasming, and even waving his arms seemed a little difficult.
And now, in just a few seconds, he seemed like a completely different person.
The powerful electric current could only make his body tremble slightly, but it could not hinder his movements.
Li Qing calmly pulled his arm back, and withdrew the hand that was in contact with Risut in a nonchalant manner, and completely got rid of the electric current that could be considered fatal for a few seconds.
Risut's body fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the electric current path he built with his life was interrupted.
Li Qing stood in front of Meloni again intact, with a more powerful and terrifying posture.
He upgraded.
He was originally just a little bit short of leveling up, and Risut's life just filled that gap.
When Li Qing was electrocuted just now, he found that he was not completely without resistance to electric current. A normal person would be completely unable to move after being electrocuted, but his extraordinary body could still barely support him to make limited movements in a paralyzed state.
He was also very clear that every time he leveled up he would gain an extremely terrifying improvement in his physical fitness.
Therefore, Li Qing was 99% sure that his body would have a stronger and more sufficient tolerance to electric current after the upgrade .
And it turned out that he was not wrong.
After upgrading from level 3 to level 4, Li Qing felt like a completely new person.
His muscles became more solid and his bones became harder, as if every cell had become a dormant high-energy explosive that could explode with enough power to destroy everything with just a slight detonation.
In front of this inhumanly strong body, the electric current that could be instantly fatal to ordinary people has almost no effect of restricting movement.
"W-what…"
"You are not paralyzed at all?"
Meloni's spirit has somewhat collapsed:
"Then why, why did you just stand there and let Boss Risut attack you?!"
He was totally unable to comprehend this turn of events.
He could only ask such useless questions incoherently to vent his fear.
"Why?"
Li Qing smiled calmly:
He could have dodged it but he didn't, and instead took the risk of letting Risut touch him with the electric current, mainly because...
At that moment, Li Qing suddenly discovered...
In the previous short battle, it seemed that he had been passively taking the beating and had not touched Risut's body at all.
At that time, Li Qing heard clearly that the iron wire on Risut's body was rapidly approaching the electrified iron wire - this behavior was tantamount to suicide.
If Li Qing did not cause any direct damage to the target, and the target was so excited that he lost control and electrocuted himself to death, then he would definitely not get the kill and the reward.
With promotion in sight, he certainly wouldn't sit idly by and watch Risut waste his life in vain.
So, when Risut launched a desperate charge towards him, Li Qing not only did not dodge directly, but instead took the initiative to pat Risut lightly.
Although the damage of this light slap is extremely low, as long as he does this, the head will be in his pocket.
"well…"
Recalling these reasons, Li Qing couldn't help but sigh softly in front of Meloni:
"I didn't dodge because I recognized your eldest brother's will."
"A warrior deserves a glorious death—"
"Letting him die with hope and relief can be considered a good ending."
Hearing Li Qing's "intention", Meloni was actually slightly moved:
Indeed, letting Boss Risut die in that false hope of victory...it can definitely be considered a mercy.
Compared to Risut, Meloni, who sees the cruelty of reality, will only suffer greater pain.
"I see…"
"We lost from the beginning."
Meloni looked at Risut's body on the ground in despair.
But his fists were clenched tightly.
※※※
Ten seconds later, Giorno and others drove to the scene.
Yes, it only took a dozen seconds.
Li Qing had already heard the familiar engine sounds coming from the other end of the bridge. He knew that his companions would arrive faster than the enemy imagined, and this was one of the reasons why he dared to take the risk of being electrocuted.
When they arrived at the scene, they only saw two enemy bodies.
A man was lying on the ground with his body charred black, and his death appearance was acceptable.
The other one, however, was deeply embedded in the guardrail beside the bridge, causing large dents in the solid cement and steel columns.
When he was alive, he felt like he was hit hard by an angry elephant. The incredibly powerful force not only shattered everything around him, but also smashed his fragile flesh and blood body, causing his internal organs to rupture and blood to flow from all his orifices.
The whole corpse now looked like a puddle of mud, as if all the bones inside had been completely shattered.
This is undoubtedly a very cruel way to die.
It doesn't take that much force to kill someone.
"this…"
Looking at Meloni, whose death looked so terrible, everyone had a slightly strange expression.
“I didn’t control my strength well…”
"That guy is also quite strange - he was always panicking and afraid when his teammates were around, but when they died, he became more determined to kill."
"He looked quite impressive and seemed to have some hidden cards, so I accidentally used my full strength."
Li Qing explained somewhat helplessly.
He had just upgraded and was not yet fully accustomed to his rapidly increasing strength:
After reaching level 4, he did not acquire any new skills, but his physical fitness leapt from "B" level to "A" level in all aspects.
Lee Sin is now no different from a humanoid stand with both strength and speed - of course, Star Platinum doesn't count.
So, he kicked out with all his strength as usual, and Meloni was kicked into a human cannonball on the spot.
The poor guy's body shot out uncontrollably, first plowing a deep ditch on the ground, and then smashing a large area of steel column guardrail, causing it to dent and deform.
"You've become stronger again, Li Qing."
Giorno quickly realized something from Meloni's tragic death.
Li Qing previously made up stories that his superpowers, which were not his stand-in abilities, were the mysterious oriental Qigong, that he was indestructible because he had practiced the "Vajra Indestructibility", that the health bar on his head was the "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head", and that his teammates were unharmed because "his Qi was spiritual and did not harm good things".
Everyone believed it reluctantly.
But this statement is not only full of loopholes, but also obviously cannot explain Li Qing's frequent evolution and upgrades.
However, since Li Qing was unwilling to explain the source of his abilities in too much detail, Giorno would not dwell on such an insignificant issue for too long.
"Li Qing, is this the last enemy?"
He went straight to the more concerning issue.
"That should be it."
Li Qing recalled the tragic performance of Risut and Meloni, who were clearly pushed to the end of their rope:
"Those two guys were so anxious to flee Venice, they must have realized that their situation was hopeless."
"This battle is over."
"The organization's funds and the boss's throne are still in our hands."
Gradually, a sense of victory filled his voice.
"The victory is only temporary. I'm afraid there will be other ambitious people emerging."
"After all, the fact that we hold the power of the organization has been completely exposed by Diablo. I'm afraid those guys who are ready to make a move won't be able to endure it for too long."
Giorno said with some concern.
"It doesn't matter."
Li Qing showed his usual optimism:
"If an enemy comes, we will stop him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth."
“Like today.”
The war that took place today lasted only twenty minutes in total.
Li Qing and his men didn't even have time to learn about the origins of the assassination team. They simply carried out some self-defense when they were being robbed...and these terrifyingly powerful "robbers" were all wiped out.
This efficiency is quite high.
If it is spread as "Ai Zu educational material", those ambitious people who are ready to make moves will probably calm down a lot.
With such a record and such strength displayed, those unruly gangsters will no longer easily challenge the new boss's abilities.
That is to say…
After this battle, Giorno's dream is close to coming true.
His position as boss is almost secure.
"Giorno."
Li Qing looked at Giorno very seriously:
"In Naples, as I said."
"I will use my hands to make your dreams come true."
He did not forget the promise he made when he persuaded Giorno to join the team.
This promise has now been fulfilled:
"Now, you can do what you want—"
"Gang-Star, we did it."
Giorno didn't say anything.
He took a deep breath and turned to look at the vast ocean.
The sun rises over the blue sea, dispelling the darkness and cold, and shining on the sea surface, making it sparkle.
Everything is so alive.
The whole world is brand new.
At this moment, it is March 28, 1999, 6:21 in the morning.
This was the 47th hour since Li Qing entered the "game" the morning before yesterday.
It was the 39th hour since Lee Sin and Giorno officially formed a team and challenged the most difficult copy in Italy.
Copy progress, 100%.
Main mission, completed.
Boss, first stage challenge successful.
Achievement [Gangster Superstar], achieved.
