Players Invade Cyberpunk

The boxing ring wasn't used much before, and the enthusiasm for boxing matches in the country wasn't high, especially among the gamer community who were mostly homebodies.

Do you expect them to box, to pay attention to boxing matches?

They probably only remember that epic battle between Brother Shui and Giao Jiang.

As for getting in the ring themselves, it's even less likely; two familiar players facing each other can't really get serious since it's not like hitting keys on a keyboard, and it's already serious if they don't burst out laughing at each other.

No referee, no gloves, and the only rule was that there were no rules, prohibiting the use of weapons and special prosthetics in free fighting.

Even that time with Simmons, he didn't dare to fight seriously against this group who saved his life, only going through the motions, but some players had turned off the pain, so they didn't even realize how badly they were hurt until they were knocked out.

This time, however, the players encountered Jack, who they weren't familiar with, a man who'd been boxing in bars for years, and he went all out right from the start.

"This is insane, damn, this NPC has taken down six of us!"

Brother Dao, standing by the ring, shouted in excitement, finally understanding why people in Southeast Asia and Europe love underground boxing matches.

Upon hearing that a fierce NPC arrived at the agency's ring, players flocked over in droves.

Jack's punches were swift and powerful, each one like a cannonball, hitting Brother Ni and Shui Yue in the head, causing them to go offline instantly.

Not dead, but their brains crashed, and they were knocked out.

The sensation of bare-handed, flesh-on-flesh combat and the surrounding fervent atmosphere could really stir up emotions, although for the first five players it was a one-sided beating; they hadn't really trained their fighting skills, and the only one with LV5 Basic Fighting, Wildman, barely lasted a few rounds before getting KO'd; the scene was so brutal it left Gustav feeling anxious.

Jack wanted to call it off several times, afraid he might kill someone, but the local mercenaries seemed uninterested in their comrades' severe injuries. Even when the ring was stained with blood and some mercenaries were barely breathing, they still wanted to continue the fight.

Just like the bloodthirsty audience in Hong Kong comics.

Of course, even in this live combat, there were those "cloud gamers" shouting in the streamer's chatroom.

"Get him, Silver, go give him a punch, hit him in the kidney!"

"Are you freaking serious? Get down if you can't handle it, let me have a go!"

"Jack's amazing! One against seven! One against seven! From today on, you're part of the Uchiha clan!"

Natural Curl in the ring couldn't even express his frustration.

Because the system disabled special prosthetics in the ring, even though Natural Curl had Sianweistan he couldn't use it, while outside mercenaries weren't limited by the system, at least not yet.

But if you purposely kill with prosthetics in the ring, or use illegal prosthetics, get ready to be ganged up on, because players love to see red-named mobs in the safe zone — either you wipe out a town, or we'll kill you and loot your gear.

Jack didn't have any over-the-top prosthetics, but his physique was proof enough; even with prosthetics of the same caliber, his output was higher than Natural Curl's, also he's been street fighting from a young age, his street fighting skills were not maxed out but at least proficient.

Natural Curl's fighting skills were not as good as his sword skills, and facing Jack, he couldn't gain much advantage, not to mention the stat difference.

Jack lowered his body by crouching down, protecting his face with clenched fists, while Natural Curl moved around Jack with duck steps, searching for a chance to attack, suddenly stepped forward with a straight punch that turned into a feint, shifting into a leg-hugging throw, grabbing his opponent's thighs and hips, pushing with his legs intent on twisting Jack's balance to topple him, if landed, it'd be painful.

But Jack also reacted immediately, adjusted his stance and lowered his center of gravity, making a downward pressure to defend the throw, pulled back his legs pressing his weight down on Natural Curl, causing Natural Curl to lose grip and become unbalanced.

Jack's right leg pulled back and immediately delivered a powerful knee strike, his knee crashing into Natural Curl's nose.

The nose, one of the most fragile parts of the human body, once severely damaged can cause unbearable pain, but unfortunately Jack was facing a player, and the nose-bleeding Natural Curl only staggered a bit before attempting to regain balance.

Jack pursued with a low kick from his left leg to Natural Curl's right knee joint, but Natural Curl lifted his shin to block, yet Jack's onslaught was relentless like a storm; his left hand swung a wide uppercut which Natural Curl ducked, then continued with a straight punch barrage, hook-straight-hook-straight, Jack's offense was smooth, the first six players combined were merely his warm-up.

The players below the ring watched in exhilaration.

If they were armed, Jack would be dead a thousand times, but this is a boxing arena.

Natural Curl kept bending forward, sliding steps to evade Jack's relentless double punch attack, managing to let all Jack's attacks miss until Jack unleashed a swift high kick covering a wide area, leaving him with no choice but to block with his left arm, getting injured again. Not fearing pain didn't mean the body wouldn't react; this pause let Jack seize the moment to grab his neck for several more rounds of knee strikes, but the reactive Natural Curl immediately crossed his arms across his chest, blocking all knee impacts.

The continuous assault left Jack somewhat exhausted, and his grip around Natural Curl's neck slightly loosened, giving Natural Curl the opportunity for a head-down uppercut right on Jack's face, spraying blood and causing a split second of disorientation, as Natural Curl that embraced his head took the chance to hold Jack's legs and with a powerful throw, flipped Jack onto the ground, reversing the roles by pinning him down.
