Chapter 40 – Don't give up? Don't be timid!
There are three things in the world that make people feel the worst.
First, parting in life and death.
Second, loving but not being able to have.
Third, getting up early for work.
Now Qiao Yu was ready to add one more: when you've painstakingly cleared a dungeon up to the final level, and then the system tells you, "We've encountered an error, please clear it again."
Would Qiao Yu follow the system's instructions? Of course not. He charged straight at Xun Dong, who had transformed into a giant spider.
Xun Dong noticed Qiao Yu as well, and his two sharp front legs moved rapidly, stabbing towards Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu rolled on the ground to dodge Xun Dong's attack. The spider leg grazed Qiao Yu's scalp, taking a lock of his hair with it, making it look incredibly dangerous.
"Yu, don't be reckless! This monster has high attack and high agility; you definitely can't beat it! Don't go sacrificing yourself!"
Yang Xiangdi was so anxious he was stomping his feet, unable to just leave Qiao Yu behind and run.

Having just rolled on the ground, Qiao Yu only vaguely heard the last part, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
"What? Don't be afraid?"
Qiao Yu turned his head, staring intently at Xun Dong's massive body. The eight spider legs, like pitch-black blades, easily pierced the ground, incredibly sharp.
With an agility of a hundred points, Xun Dong undoubtedly had incredible speed, while Qiao Yu, with only 9 points in agility, couldn't possibly compete with him.
The only way to defeat Xun Dong now seemed to be what Yang Xiangdi had said: don't be afraid!
It turned out Yang Xiangdi was reminding him! He had already seen the way to defeat Xun Dong! Qiao Yu gave Yang Xiangdi a thumbs up!
"Don't worry, Xiangdi, I won't be afraid! Thanks for the reminder!"
Yang Xiangdi: "........"
What did I remind you of?
Amidst everyone's confusion, Qiao Yu charged at Xun Dong like a moth to a flame.
Thud! Thud!
Xun Dong showed no mercy, his two sharp front legs instantly piercing through Qiao Yu's body.
"-124"
"-124"
Two bright red numbers appeared above Qiao Yu's head instantly.
"Phew! Luckily, my health bar is thick, otherwise, I really couldn't beat this damn thing!"
Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then followed up with two punches on Xun Dong's body. He had experience in close combat with humans, but fighting a spider up close was a first for him.
"-196"
"-196"
Seeing himself lose nearly four hundred health instantly, the spider-transformed Xun Dong showed a hint of human-like fear in his eyes.
He's only level eight, how can his damage be higher than mine! Am I the boss, or is he the boss?
System, aren't you going to do something? Compared to me, he's the real unknown error!
"Wait!"
Xun Dong suddenly thought of a possibility. He opened his mouth full of sharp teeth and asked Qiao Yu.
"Could it be that you're also one of Hakutaku's people?"
Only Hakutaku could create a monster like Qiao Yu, after all, she was also created by Hakutaku.
"Hakutaku? I'm Glutton, now die!"
Qiao Yu ignored Xun Dong's words, his mind filled only with the three words Yang Xiangdi had said: don't be afraid!
"Charge!"
Qiao Yu clenched his fists, continuously pounding on Xun Dong's body.
Forced into a corner, Xun Dong began to fight back, explaining as she fought.
"Stop! Let me explain, if you're also one of Hakutaku's people, we're not enemies!"
"I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, I just don't want to hear it!"
Xun Dong: .......
What is this inexplicable couple's quarrel atmosphere?
"Frenzied Charge!"
"Venomous Sting!"
Seeing that Qiao Yu was unwilling to communicate, Xun Dong went all out, activating her skills, revealing her violent side.
The eight sharp long legs madly thrust forward, aiming at all of Qiao Yu's vital points.
Qiao Yu didn't dodge or evade, not caring at all about his body being pierced by Xun Dong's spider legs, already having several large holes in his body.
If not for the Mighty Pact giving him over a thousand extra health points, even ten lives wouldn't be enough.
Thud! Thud!
Bang! Bang!
Thud! Thud!
Bang! Bang!
Both sides fought with fury, exchanging blows in a relentless battle of attrition.
This brutal fighting style would only stop when one side was completely dead!
"What kind of monster is this guy, why isn't he dead yet!"
Unable to see Qiao Yu's health, Xun Dong grew more and more alarmed as the fight went on.
Why does this man not only have higher attack power than her, but his health bar seems endless, showing no signs of fatigue?
In contrast, she only had 236 health points left!
"No, you can't kill me! If you kill me, Hakutaku won't let you off!" Xun Dong threatened fiercely.
At this point, Qiao Yu also only had 220 health points left. If Xun Dong went all out and hit him twice more, she could take him down.
But Qiao Yu remained calm, his face indifferent, as if he still had two thousand health.
His frantic punches made his arms tremble slightly, and it was difficult for him to throw a full-strength punch now.
"Oh? Is that so? Then do you know what I am to Hakutaku?" Qiao Yu took the opportunity to put his arms behind his back, his face calm and composed.
"You... you are?" Xun Dong's eyes were filled with uncertainty and suspicion.
Qiao Yu's performance was too terrifying. Besides being a member of Hakutaku, she couldn't think of any other player who could be so monstrous.
"Just a friendly reminder, my name is Qiao Yu."
"Qiao Yu... with the surname Qiao, could it be! Could it be you're that person......." Xun Dong's face was full of shock.
Before Xun Dong could continue, Qiao Yu interrupted her!
"You fell for it!"
A look of triumphant cunning appeared on Qiao Yu's face, his arms fully recovered.
Qiao Yu clenched his fists and shouted.
"Overpowering Might!"
Then two punches landed on Xun Dong's body, and her health instantly dropped to zero!
Even as her body slowly faded away, Xun Dong's face was full of endless confusion.
He... with the surname Qiao, shouldn't he be that person's descendant? Then why did he kill me? Why? Damn it, why?
Xun Dong, with endless questions in her mind, turned into a Soul Core.

"Yang Xiangdi! You're a true brother, if it weren't for your reminder not to be afraid, I really couldn't have beaten Xun Dong!"
Qiao Yu ran back to Yang Xiangdi and the others with a face full of joy, the ten or so holes Xun Dong had pierced in him still bleeding, looking incredibly gruesome.
"Um... Yu, actually, what I said was don't sacrifice yourself........"
