Chapter 171 You dare hit the boss?!

The content was so strange that Zhang Mo couldn't help but read it aloud: "Steel and iron bones? A temporary version?"

Jiu Xuan was sitting next to Zhang Mo. Hearing Zhang Mo muttering something, she immediately leaned closer and asked curiously, "What is it?"

Zhang Mo: "Administrator's special skill."

When Zhang Mo clicked on it, the interface automatically redirected to the "Skills" page of the "Demon Clan Management System".

Now you can see that three skills have been lit up on that skill tree, from top to bottom: "Yin Yang Eyes", "Mind Reading (Image Version)" and "Iron Bones (Temporary Version)".

She had never seen this before. After just one glance, Jiu Xuan exclaimed in amazement, "So many? How long would it take to unlock them all?"

Zhang Mo clicked her tongue: "I don't know either."

Previously, Jiang Mian seemed to have told Zhang Mo that the longer one served as a demon clan administrator, the more abilities one would acquire.

In other words, skills are unlocked based on the "duration" factor.

However, Zhang Mo has yet to figure out what the pattern of this "duration" is, or how long it takes to unlock a skill.

To be honest, she didn't like being completely unaware of the important conditions.

So, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Mo decided to ask directly.

Zhang Mo: "Xiao Tian, ​​classmate."

Xiao Tian: "Yes, Master."

Zhang Mo said in a serious tone, "Based on the unlocking time of these three skills and a comprehensive analysis of the backend code, tell me the pattern of skill unlocking and predict the time of the next skill unlock."

Xiao Tian: "Yes, Master. Analyzing..."

About a minute later—

Xiao Tian: "Analysis complete. Analysis result: No pattern found, unable to make a prediction."

Zhang Mo: "".

What's going on? How can a program be completely random? Is it using a random function? That's too arbitrary and unreliable.

Jiu Xuan retorted, "Why should I?"

Xiao Tian: "I guess you're looking for—"

Proverbs such as "Life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by Heaven," "Man proposes, God disposes," "Heaven's will is hard to defy," and "Man's calculations are no match for Heaven's" are common.

This means that fate has the final say, there are no rules, and you can do whatever you want.

Zhang Mo & Jiu Xuan: "......"

Zhang Mo sighed helplessly: "Forget it, let's see how to use this skill."

Jiu Xuan said expressionlessly, "You're right."

Then, Zhang Mo clicked on the skill called "Steel Bones (Temporary Version)," and a prompt box immediately popped up on her phone.

[Iron Will (Temporary Version): Takes effect after silently reciting 'Iron Will' three times. Lasts 10 minutes. During these 10 minutes, you will be invulnerable to knives and spears and possess immense strength. Can be used once a day.]

Zhang Mo, who has hardly ever attended physical education classes since birth, exclaimed: "Wow, is that amazing?"

Jiu Xuan was slightly dissatisfied: "Only 10 minutes? I thought it would completely change your physique."

Zhang Mo: "If it were a complete change, there wouldn't be the words 'temporary version' anymore."

“That makes sense,” Jiu Xuan suggested, “How about we give it a try?”

"Um."

Then, Zhang Mo remained silent for a moment, and solemnly recited "steel and iron bones" three times in her heart.

After she finished reading, she and Jiu Xuan stared at each other for a full three seconds without saying a word.

Jiu Xuan looked her up and down and said in confusion, "It seems... there's no change."

Zhang Mo clenched her fist, felt her grip strength, and it seemed there was no difference: "I think so too."

Jiu Xuan: "Hey, is there something extra in your palm?"

Upon closer inspection, Zhang Mo discovered a small golden "Steel" character on the palm of her right hand.

That's it?

She thought there would be special effects like those of a Super Saiyan.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Mo said, "Why don't you try hitting me?"

Jiu Xuan's beautiful eyes widened instantly: "How can that be?"

“Why not? I told you to do it,” Zhang Mo said.

"How could I possibly bear to hit you?! How about this, you hit me instead." With that, Jiu Xuan stretched out her right arm towards Zhang Mo, "Try to break it. If it breaks, it doesn't matter, I'll just go find Jiang Rong."

Zhang Mo: "..." Why is he going to break an arm right off the bat? This is too violent; she seems a little hesitant to do it.

Just then, Wu Yun's voice came from the doorway: "Boss, I brought you some grilled skewers, do you want some?"

Zhang Mo and Jiu Xuan exchanged a silent glance.

Half a minute later, the still-steaming skewers were put aside, and Wu Yun, looking nervous, stood in front of Zhang Mo: "Boss, be gentle, don't hurt yourself."

Jiu Xuan also worriedly said, "Why don't you wrap a towel around your hand first? His skin is so thick, you might cut your hand."

Wu Yun: "How about I hold a pillow against my chest?"

Jiuxuan: "I think it's okay."

Zhang Mo: "......"

Zhang Mo was utterly speechless: "So, in the eyes of you employees, what am I made of? Glass? Something that breaks at the slightest touch?"

Jiu Xuan felt that Zhang Mo's understanding of herself was really too unclear: "How could you be glass? Glass has hardness, you're at most made of paper."

Wu Yun nodded: "Even glass is waterproof, boss, yours isn't."

Zhang Mo, who indeed had no swimming skills, was speechless.

Perhaps to prove that she wasn't so fragile, this time, Zhang Mo mustered all her strength, gathered all her power into her right fist, and then swung it fiercely at Wu Yun!

With a loud "bang," the massive Wu Yun was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, tracing a graceful arc through the air before crashing into the bathroom wall with a loud "thud!"

Normally, there should be applause here.

However, as anyone who frequently engages in combat knows, besides exerting force, maintaining overall balance is also an art. That's why many martial arts fundamentals involve stances like the horse stance, designed to stabilize the body.

Unfortunately, this was precisely Zhang Mo's blind spot.

So although the punch looked powerful and effective, the recoil was even stronger. As Wu Yun flew out, Zhang Mo, whose footing was unstable, also leaned back and fell to the ground with a thud!

Fortunately, Jiu Xuan reacted quickly and immediately stretched out a huge tail to catch her!

Zhang Mo propped herself up on her arms and sat up, saying, "Ouch."

Jiu Xuan quickly squatted down to ask her, "Are you alright? Where does it hurt? Should I call Jiang Rong to come and take a look?"

Zhang Mo shook her fist: "I'm fine." She didn't feel any physical pain, but her head was a little dizzy.

As soon as he finished speaking, the already locked guest room door was kicked open with a "bang"!

The three little wolves, Lang Ri, Lang Yue, and Lang Xing, rushed in with tense expressions: "What's wrong! Where's the boss?! What happened?!"

The three of them lived in the next room and were playing games when they heard a loud "bang" coming from the boss's room!

That was clearly the sound of a heavy object hitting the wall!

The three of them immediately assumed something had happened to Zhang Mo! They quickly kicked down the door to rescue their boss!

Upon entering, they found Zhang Mo lying on the ground, Jiu Xuan helping her up, and Wu Yun climbing out of the bathroom.

The three little wolves, their not-so-skilled brains quickly made a calculation—

The boss fell, and Wu Yun also fell. Jiu Xuan helped the boss up.

It is known that only Wu Yun and Jiu Xuan have combat capabilities in this room.

If Jiu Xuan was helping the boss up, then it definitely wasn't Jiu Xuan who pushed him.

What does that tell us?

This proves that Wu Yun was definitely bullying the boss, and Jiu Xuan punched him away!

The three wolf cubs' pupils dilated in shock, and they rushed forward in disbelief: "Wu Yun! You dare to hit the boss?!"

Wu Yun: "??? I didn't... Ouch!!!"

Zhang Mo: "......"

Please stop fighting!
