Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch - Chapter 751

Chapter 751: Chapter 711: Did I Cause Trouble?

This final battle lasted longer than Ivan had anticipated.

In his previous encounters, battles would end within a dozen seconds.

But this time, with clear vision that allows him to see every move of his opponent, Ivan was almost moved to tears.

He even wanted to thank this ugly monster—

You finally dared to show yourself!

When Ivan couldn’t see the Iron-Blooded Warrior, he was able to hold his ground against him for more than ten moves; now that he could see him clearly, there was no reason to fear.

The opponent possessed strength far superior to Ivan’s physical stature, being able to lift and throw him with one hand, but their speed was unremarkable, not faster than Ivan’s movements.

At the moment he charged forward, Ivan keenly realized: this is the key to victory!

Initiating the attack, but not engaging head-on.

Dodging, maneuvering, counterattacking…

That kind of flow-like intuition did not disappear with the appearance of his opponent. When faced with a potentially devastating blow, Ivan was able to react reflexively.

Light injuries were sometimes unavoidable, but serious injuries were always met with a response.

Even if he couldn’t completely avoid them, he could flash and block them, reducing serious injuries to light ones.

Even if thrown by his opponent, he could adjust his posture before crashing into a tree trunk, mitigating the impact damage.

While securing time for himself to heal, he didn’t miss any opportunity to inflict damage on his opponent, and he didn’t greedily overreach.

Being caught would mean death! Sustaining a serious injury would mean death! Injuring a leg would mean death! Making mistakes twice would mean death!

There was virtually no room for error!

Ivan had never experienced such a demanding battle before.

But he had also never experienced such a deeply focused moment!

By the middle of the battle, Ivan felt like he could almost see the faint light of victory. As long as he carefully reached out, he could grasp that glimmer.

When the Iron-Blooded Warrior was continuously losing blood, his strength was declining, and his movements were slowing down, Ivan even worried that his opponent would try to escape.

But in a close encounter illuminated by lightning’s white light, when Ivan saw the face of the Iron-Blooded Warrior, he suddenly understood: this opponent would never run away!

Even if his health kept dropping and his dominance slowly shifted to a disadvantage, the Iron-Blooded Warrior’s momentum never diminished— he reveled in battle and bloodshed.

Whether the blood was his opponent’s or his own!

How could such a fanatical warrior possibly flee in fear?

“No wonder he’s called the [Iron-Blooded Warrior].”

With a clear understanding in his heart, Ivan cast off his concerns and focused solely on the battle.

At this point, the Iron-Blooded Warrior was no longer able to overpower him in strength. Ivan could even stand toe-to-toe in a direct contest!

Being in a state of unending energy was a huge advantage in itself.

Although his physical body did not tire, his mental stamina began to wane.

That razor-sharp intuition had vanished at some point, and his movements didn’t slow down, but his attention began to fade. Facing sudden attacks, he even had to roll around in the muddy ground to avoid them, looking disheveled and miserable.

After being scratched twice in a row, Ivan decisively abandoned his hunting spear to avoid entanglement and leaped toward his opponent!

He intended to seize victory with the more dangerous hunting knife.

But this opportunity was not only for him, but also for the Iron-Blooded Warrior!

Hunting knife versus bowl blade, life and death in an instant!

Both driven to the brink of madness, they both chose the most ruthless attack methods—

Under lightning and thunder, the two figures violently collided!

There was no evasion, no blocking, and no hesitation.

The bowl blade pierced through the heart, while the hunting knife sliced through the throat!

Both abandoned the possibility of retreating, choosing to risk their lives to bring their opponent down!

If this were the real world, they would undoubtedly have perished together.

Even in the virtual world, had Ivan chosen the stomach or heart, the outcome would have been mutual destruction.

But Ivan accurately targeted the neck, his hunting knife slicing through the throat, instantly severing all life signs of the Iron-Blooded Warrior.

However, the Iron-Blooded Warrior’s bowl blade was ultimately too slow; by the time it pierced through Ivan’s heart, he was already dead.

Declared by the system, the damage was nullified.

Ivan didn’t even lose any blood.

He struggled every second, fought continuously for a whole day, pushed himself to the limit, and finally got rewarded.

[Cross-Border Pursuit], the first global player to complete it, was born!

Next, it was time to reap the rewards.

A white beam of light descended from the sky, breaking through the dark clouds and thunderstorms, shining on him.

The grand system announcement sounded in the sky ——

‘[Cross-Border Pursuit]task completed, the first one to finish, [Great Ivan], receiving the reward: No. 001 Commemorative Medal.’

This announcement not only rang in Ivan’s world, but also in the worlds of all online players of “Hunter: Call of the Wilderness” worldwide.

This was an undisputed “World Announcement”!

Accompanied by the announcement, a brilliant, golden[Hunter Medal]slowly descended in front of Ivan.

On the gold medal, there was an engraved image of a hunting knife piercing through the skull of an Iron-Blooded Warrior. On the back, you can see the unique number: [001].

At the same time, a diamond trophy in the shape of a Bowl Blade also emerged from the light.

Ivan Ivanov picked up the trophy and looked at the achievement name on the base ——

[Fourth Type of Contact]

[Achievement Effect]: Can summon[Iron-Blooded Face], wear the Iron-Blooded Mask, greatly enhancing your deterrence!

[Note]: Under specific circumstances, wearing this mask may cause serious consequences. Please treat with caution.

——

Ivan hadn’t had time to test the effects when he was startled by the sudden influx of new audience members in the live broadcast room.

He had been focused on fighting before and completely ignored the situation in the live broadcast room.

Now when he looked, he was stunned to find that the number of viewers in the live broadcast room was more than 10 times that of his usual live stream!

And as the server announcements were coming down, a huge number of new viewers kept pouring in non-stop, pushing his live stream room to the front page of live streaming platforms.

The audience in the live stream room came from all over the world, speaking various languages and focusing on different things:

“Too strong! You’ve defended the dignity of the combat nation!”

“Is the medal separate from the achievement? Can it be sold?”

“Give a close-up of the alien on the ground! It looks so ugly, let us see it again.”

“Shoulder Cannon! Shoulder Cannon! Hurry up and pick it up, see if it can be fired!”

“Find out how he became invisible! If we could be invisible, that would be so much fun.”

…

Ivan quickly glanced at the audience’s thoughts and immediately crouched down to examine the Iron-Blooded Warrior’s body.

Checking the corpse was not something he could delay.

The first thing to check, of course, was the shoulder cannon.

This thing was easily removed from the Iron-Blooded Warrior’s shoulder armor, and the system directly showed the equipment information——

[Plasma Shoulder Cannon]: Iron-Blooded Warrior’s standard single soldier heavy weapon, can be equipped.

Once the shoulder cannon was removed, the Iron-Blooded Warrior’s body quickly emitted light, and little by little, it disappeared.

Only a device similar to a mobile phone was left on the ground, which looked bulky, black, and seemed to have low-tech content.

Ivan picked it up and found that its screen flashed like a radar, with a green dot, and three buttons below the screen.

He pressed one casually, and nothing happened.

“No reaction?”

Unconvinced, Ivan pressed it harder a few more times, but still nothing happened.

This puzzled him: “Is it broken? It shouldn’t be.”

As soon as the words fell, a “whoosh” sound came, and a green beam of light shot out from the distant mountaintop and into the night sky!

Then, with only a two-second interval, “whoosh, whoosh, whoosh,” one after another, laser beams shot towards the night sky.

Ivan pressed the button several times, and several light beams were shot.

“Is this… showing my position?” Ivan said uncertainly.

“But why do I feel like I’ve just caused some trouble?”
