"Holy crap! What kind of mission is this? That's way too grindy!"
Lin Yi scratched his head with a wry grin."And seriously—if I can beat all of them, would I even need a mission reward anymore?"
He sighed. "This stupid quest is just here for my amusement, isn't it?"
A Sudden Encounter — The Rhino Man!
Serendipitous Quest Triggered:Rhino Man!
A towering brute covered in muscle—his stats are insane: high attack, high defense, high HP! A total tank and powerhouse rolled into one.
But you, Lin Yi, are a genius—sharp, adaptable, and skilled. Your favorite pastime? Defeating the strong while being the weak!
So when you see this monster of a man... there's only one thought left in your mind:Take. Him. Down.

Take a powerful step forward, charging with unstoppable momentum! Deal 15%–35% of the target's max HP as physical damage to all enemies within two meters of your selected direction!
"Whoa~! Stats! Beautiful, glorious stats!""Isn't this basically Old Kui's W in his prime? And it's even directional!""Well then… guess I don't have a choice. Time to fight!"
Battlefield Chaos
Lin Yi looked ahead eagerly, wanting to see how the fight between the fallen Spider-Gwen and Rhino Man would unfold.
But before he could even blink—
Thud!!!
The defeated woman was sent flying… straight toward Lin Yi's face!
For a split second, Lin Yi considered catching her. But reason kicked in."I'm still a regular guy! No superpowers yet. If I try to catch a superhuman flying at that speed, I'll break my arm!"
So, with a half-second burst of Time Stop, Lin Yi sidestepped elegantly. Spider-Gwen crashed through the window of a clothing store behind him, landing in a heap of clothes and hangers, groaning in pain.
"Hah~ Alright," Lin Yi muttered, glancing at her sprawled on the ground. "Guess it's my cue to step in."
He turned to face the Rhino Man, who was slowly lumbering toward him—smiling smugly, satisfied with his victory.
"Okay, big guy," Lin Yi called out. "That's enough. My turn."
"Huh?"
Until now, Rhino Man hadn't even noticed Lin Yi. To him, the guy was just some random bystander.
"Where the hell did this idiot come from? If you don't wanna die, get lost!"
The brute's grin twisted into a snarl.
Lin Yi chuckled. "Haha~ Don't you think bullying girls is kinda pathetic?""Wow~ You're so tough~ Beating up a defenseless woman~ You must be so proud of yourself~"
His taunting tone was flawless—infuriatingly smug.
The Rhino Man's face darkened. "Hmph! Alright! Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"
He thundered forward, muscles bulging, fists the size of Lin Yi's torso.
The Clash Begins
"Uh—wait, stop! No!!"
From behind, Spider-Gwen staggered out of the shattered storefront, panic written all over her face.
She'd just caught her breath—only to see the massive Rhino Man swing a devastating punch straight toward Lin Yi.At that distance, she couldn't save him. Even if she fired a web right now, it wouldn't reach in time.
Her heart pounded with guilt and dread. Was she really going to watch an innocent man get killed because of her?
But, of course, a genius like Lin Yi wasn't about to be one-shotted.
In the instant Rhino Man's hammer-like fist came crashing down, Lin Yi's figure suddenly… shifted.
It wasn't teleportation—it was movement so fast it looked impossible. To Spider-Gwen and Rhino Man, it was as if Lin Yi had simply glitched out of the attack's range.
BOOM!!!
The ground shattered where Lin Yi once stood, sending cracks spiderwebbing across the street.
Lin Yi's hair fluttered from the impact breeze. That was it. Not a scratch.
He exhaled calmly. "Guess it's my turn."
Exploiting Weakness
The moment Lin Yi declared his intent to fight, his passive ability activated.Ten seconds of calculated taunts and evasions later…
A weak point appeared on Rhino Man's waist—glowing faintly white.
"Heh," Lin Yi smirked, and without even straining, flicked a finger right at it.
Smack!
The Rhino Man froze. It wasn't painful—just annoying. So he swung again.
But Lin Yi, with his movement speed bonus, danced effortlessly out of reach.
Another weak point appeared—this time on the leg. Lin Yi swept low, tapped the spot with his toe, then retreated before another punch could land.
Each hit triggered another boost. Each dodge made Rhino Man's fury boil.
Provocation
The Rhino Man's frustration was reaching its limit.
Lin Yi smirked. "Wow~ Didn't your mom teach you how to hit people properly? You keep punching the floor, baby~""Oh, that's right! I forgot—your mom's a rhino! Probably explains your face. Poor thing, born on a stormy night because your dad couldn't find a human wife.""Ah, you pitiful beast—no wonder you can't land a hit. You're barely even human yourself!"
"RRAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
That did it. Rhino Man lost all reason. He roared like a berserk animal and charged blindly, fists swinging like wrecking balls.
But the more furious he got, the easier he was to predict.
And Lin Yi—grinning ear to ear—knew it.
"Perfect," he murmured. "Now the real fight begins."
Interrupted Victory
Just as Lin Yi was about to go all out—to toy with the Rhino Man completely—
Whoosh!
A web shot out, sticking to his shoulder and yanking him away from the battlefield!
"Huh!?"
Spider-Gwen had slung him to safety!
"What the hell are you doing?!" Lin Yi shouted, flailing midair."I was just getting started!"
