“Oy, Syam. Come out and give us some tips. We should help each other out a bit. How did you rank up so much?”

“Look at this, this guy didn’t even message once. He is acting mysterious. Is he some kind of terrorist or something?”

“Syam, come out. Details on second round please.”

“Maybe, this guy has some cheat system. Just like how the protagonists have in the Webnovels regarding these games.”

“Maybe he does have such a thing. What is it Syam? Do you see the hints when you are fighting?”

“No, I think he gets the indicators on the weakest targets to kill?”

“I think he has a cheat showing the escape routes.”

Aditya looked at the chatroom and felt dumbfounded. He couldn’t believe that people had this many thoughts regarding him since the second round. The speculations regarding the cheat system, Aditya wished he had one. All he had is a good number of resources around him to burn things in a timely fashion.

Now that he thought about it, it seems like he is a natural born arsonist.

Anyway, he didn’t bother to reply to any of the messages and just noted the details down. By now he has at least fifteen types of creatures that could possibly be enemies. They are mostly insects and rodents.

He thought of the scenarios on how to deal with these things, but no matter what he thought, he is always stopping at thinking of how to burn these things down. For some weird reason, he is really inclined to burning the enemies.

After documenting everything, he went to the bathroom to take a shower. But he didn’t immediately dive into the shower, rather he opened the inventory and looked at the three AIPs locked up in the second inventory slot.

[Are you thinking of using the AIP now? I thought your body is still sore from yesterday.]

“It is sore. But I don’t have time. There is only around two days left for the next round. I don’t know what I will have to face and I don’t want to experience the feeling of dying and crushing all of my bones.

So, I would like to increase my chances as much as possible with these AIPs.”

With that, he clicked on the slot and activated the first AIP.

The three AIPs he has are Physical AIPs used for the combined improvement of all three physical attributes, so he was kind of looking forward to how it would be different from the pure Strength AIP he has previously used.

Aditya found himself standing in the middle of a rocky terrain. It looked like a rocky mountain area. There is sledge hammer and a dagger placed nearby. Before he could start the round, he decided to check on his attributes once again.

[ATTRIBUTES

STRENGTH: 11.5

DEXTERITY: 9

ENDURANCE: 9.5

INTELLIGENCE: 13

WISDOM: 10]

The three points he gained for intelligence in the last round was updated. He took a deep breath and looked at the weapons provided for him. The dagger is sheathed and it could be hung to his pants, which he did and he carried the sledge hammer himself.

As soon as he touched the weapons the round started and Aditya looked around vigilantly. It is unlike the Strength AIP in which there is an obvious hole in the middle of the room which gave access to the creatures, but now it is an open area, they could come from anywhere.

Before that thought could even finish happening in his mind, he already heard some sound from behind.

He turned around and noticed there is a spider crawling over towards him from behind the rock.

This is a football sized spider that looked extremely scary but the looks are not the only scary part regarding this thing. The shell has faint metallic luster that made him think of the metallic bed bugs in the previous AIP.

And it opened its mouth and spewed its web towards him. Aditya hurriedly dodged, but he was not fast enough as the sledge hammer got stuck by the web.

He didn’t dare to let go of his grip on the hammer so he was also dragged along as it stuck to the heap of rocks nearby.

One of his arms that is holding the hammer was stuck along with it to the heap.

“Argh..”

He groaned in slight pain due to the impact. But he soon came back to himself as he looked at the large scary spider and tried to pull his hand out of the web, only to fail again and again.

He then took the dagger out of his the sheath and cut the web which helped. Right before the spider could completely web him up, he jumped to the side and escaped.

Luckily, the spider is a lot slower than him which made it easier for him to attack it from the side.

He smashed sledge hammer on its back making its legs crushed.

He took the chance and smashed its head in. Right after it was crushed, he heard a noise from the rear, there are two spiders coming from that spot. He immediately hid behind a heap of rocks making the webs hit the heap.

He waited there until the spiders neared him and came out with a lunge and a hammer strike on their heads one by one.

*BANG* *BANG*

The hammer hitting the metallic body sounded loudly as the cracks appeared. Within the two more hits they are done for, but before he could even realize, three spiders appeared behind him.

All of them are metallic.

Aditya decided to use the same tactic as before. Use the heap of rocks as a cover and make the spiders slowly make their way towards him and crush them into paste.

This process repeated until seven spiders came all together and he knew that he wouldn’t be able to all of them together. But he also noticed something that could help him.

He first ran far enough to keep a fair distance between both of them and hid behind a heap of rocks. He then looked around to pick up a rock that is in the size of a baseball while he kept his hammer on the side before throwing it straight at them.

The rock hit one spider and it slowed down a bit. He took another rock and did the same to other spiders and finally only two spiders which he could easily handle are first while the remaining five are a bit behind allowing him some more time in his hands.

He managed to deal with the seven spiders, eight, nine and finally even ten.

But for the next wave, he was stunned because the spiders increased the size and only three of them came out. Even though they are in the size doubled the previous ones, they are still dangerous, but slow. Still, that is not the most troublesome for him. The trouble some thing is the extra spider that came along with him.

The spider smaller than even the spider on the first wave and it doesn’t even have the metallic coating on its back. This is the most realistic spider of all, even though it is a bit larger than normal.

But what terrified him is its speed. He could barely keep track of its speed and keep a distance and dealing with it slowly is completely off the table with that.
