Dimensional Store System In Apocalypse

Chapter 100: Work With Me (End of Volume 1)

[The system is suggesting the user retreat. This opponent is currently not somebody you're capable of handling]

Stein's evaluation of Dagger's ability shocked Zhang Qin Feng. Not even Donald Mckenzie, AKA Giant, received such an evaluation from Stein in their previous fight.

'What? Does this mean he's a better fighter than Donald Mckenzie?' Zhang Qin Feng communicates in his mind.

[From what the system could detect, this individual has at least over 5 points in 'Foundation' status. This produces the rough hypothesis that the person codename 'Dagger' is two times stronger than the user right now]

Stein explained the reason behind the suggestion.

"What's wrong? Was that all I need to take you down, little hero?" Alim Roanoke asked. He's pondering about why Zhang Qin Feng would stay idle there for close to a minute after getting a punch from him.

"Now, you make me lost interest in you. I thought you're much better than this," Aim Roanoke added before taking a glance at Lightbulb. The latter was not doing too well against his two opponents. Each of their moves was almost like they're designed to contend against the Military School's Martial Art.

It took him a while to get back on his foot, but right now, there's a slight worry in his mind as Zhang Qin Feng had no idea what he has to do.

'Should I pull my pistol out and fire at them?'

'No… With that speed, he'll just appear beside me and grab the gun off from my hand. If he managed to get his hand on my firearms, the situation might get worst than what I am now.'

[The system suggests that the user consider using the Shockwave Grenade option. Right now, there are six more grenades available inside the pocket, and it was the most ideal possession you have against an unaware opponent]

[But in exchange, the user would have to grab the opportunity to plant the explosive in one of the pockets he had. Your success rate would be a mere 25%. The user is advised to try this method more than once to increase the chances of success]

[The best position to target would be the left and right pocket on his vest. The two back pockets on his jeans would be the next point to look out for. The riskiest spot would be the pocket on his left chest. But this place would yield the highest chance to take him out in one blast]

'Then… Let's do it.' Zhang Qin Feng stares intensely at Alim Roanoke after the consultation from Stein.

"OH? Looked like someone was fired up. I wonder what kind of surprises you can give me." Dagger smiled while looking at Zhang Qin Feng. To someone like him, educating a fledgling like Zhang Qin Feng was his favorite activity to spend his time.

"Do you know what I usually do when I am in our HQ in the Horusian Republic?" he asked. From the way he looked, he's not even taking this fight seriously.

"Not interested." Zhang Qin Feng tightened his fist in reply to Alim Roanoke. Yelling hard to arouse his fighting spirit, he made his first move as he throws a punch at his opponent's face.

"Too direct. 0 marks." Dagger chuckled as he repeats what he did earlier. Vanishing from where he stands, Dagger appeared instantly at Zhang Qin Feng's blind spot and retaliated with a punch on his cheek again.

The punch still arrived in his face even after preparing his mind to try his best to dodge. Once again thrown on the ground, Zhang Qin Feng rolled on the ground once before getting up again. He was more agile than before, but it was for naught.

"To be a good student, one has to get down on the ground whenever your instructor tried his best to make it happen. Behave." Dagger smiled and pulled Zhang Qin Feng's wrist. With a back throw, he forced Zhang Qin Feng back on the ground.

With a hand on his face, Dagger forced Zhang Qin Feng to stay on the ground to listen to his blabbering.

"Did you find what I want?" he asked.

"No." Zhang Qin Feng replied rebelliously. And that was his mistake. Experience-wise, he's still far from getting compared to Alim Roanoke.

[Please calm down, user! Your instantaneous reply will immediately give out yourself!]

Stein warned, but it was a step late. As his emotion was in turmoil because he was treated by Alim Roanoke in such a manner. This method made him lost part of his rationality.

"I think you're lying. You've found it, correct? Where is it right now?" Dagger continued to question Zhang Qin Feng. Although he had no idea where the merchandise he wanted was hidden by Zhang Qin Feng, he knew it was in his hand.

"Hey… Say something." Alim Roanoke grabbed Zhang Qin Feng's left arm and prepared to give it a twist. The progression was a torturous one as he was doing it slowly.

"Urgh…" Zhang Qin Feng struggled to stand against the pain. But soon, the moan was replaced with a scream as his shoulder was dislocated by Alim Roanoke effortlessly.

"Now… I hate doing this. Your uncle was the same. And now, it's you. The both of you make me lost interest now." Alim Roanoke said. A phone call came at the moment he releases Zhang Qin Feng's arm.

"Boss." Dagger answered the call without a hint of worry. But gunshots were heard at the same time as he answered the phone call.

"The people from special forces are almost at this level!" the three agents that fought Zhang Qin Feng a while earlier said as they grabbed the nearest Automated Kalash L-47. After checking the number of ammunition still inside the magazine, they lay a cover fire at the staircase.

"Dagger!" one of them yelled.

"Big boss order. Let's retreat." he suddenly blurted out something no one expected.

"Looks like our boss is interested in you. The hostage is on the lowest floor of this building, so go get them back. As for where to look, I wish you good luck."

"By the way, my boss wants to greet you personally. Listen well." Dagger placed the phone by Zhang Qin Feng's ear.

"Mr. Zhang. Have you thought about working with me?" the person from the other side of the call asked.

"Don't worry if you can't answer me now. Take some time to think about it. To show you my sincerity, I'll leave the two people close to you alone. I'll be looking forward to talking with you later."

"By the way… Good job cracking our position. I need such talent."

"Goodbye for now. This is Howard. The Eye of Horus." the call was cut off after he finished with what he wanted to say.
