Chapter 299: Boothill's Skills Revealed! Not This Again, Bro—How Can You Be This Handsome?!
"This won't work, that won't work, what exactly do you want? Want us two brothers to sleep on the floor at the front desk?"
Boothill immediately bared a row of small, sharp teeth.
He said, sounding extremely annoyed,
"What the f, stop giving me this bureaucratic circular logic! Miss, I'm not targeting you, if you can handle this, please help us, if you can't, then find someone who can, alright?"
Alley looked a bit nervous: "Please calm down, both of you! I remember that at the time, Mr. Sunday, the head of the Oak Family, handled this matter personally. Please wait a moment, I will go contact him."
Dan Heng's mood remained frighteningly stable.
"She probably isn't trying to make things difficult for us on purpose, she really just doesn't know what to do."
"The situation isn't good. You tried on the express too, they really didn't reply to your messages."
Dan Heng fell silent for a moment, then said: "There are some concerning things, I'll leave for a while. You wait here for that lady."
"Go ahead, be quick."
...
"Boothill is irritable but surprisingly reasonable."
"Starting to sympathize with the customer service lady, anyone who's worked a job understands."
"Alley: This Mr. Pom-Pom isn't very friendly…"
"Sunday is even harder to reach."
"Don't say it, the color scheme of Boothill is actually quite similar to Pom-Pom."
...
After parting ways with Dan Heng, Boothill muttered to himself: "With his companion missing, Brother Dan Heng must be a bit anxious. Give him some time, worry is the poison of judgment."
After he finished speaking, a prompt appeared on the interface.
[ Perspective switched, Boothill ]
[ New Mission: The Gunslinger and the Genius ]
[ Listen for the current situation in the hotel lobby, wait for Dan Heng ]
Guinaifen was stunned for a moment.
In the team roster on the right, the character in slot one had been replaced by a trial Boothill.
"What's the situation!"
"Boothill is in the banner too?"
"I feel like this guy just appeared in the plot?"
"As expected, Feathered Spirit's character selection is free-spirited."
"Anyone can enter the banner…"
Guinaifen first maneuvered Boothill to run around a bit.
After arriving at an empty space.
She tapped the basic attack button.
"Bang!"
He pulled out his revolver and fired a shot forward.
"Hiss…"
"The feel of this gunshot is really nice!"
Guinaifen revealed a look of interest.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Next, he fired several more shots in a row.
"This basic attack is actually kind of fun!"
"And it seems like every time he fires, he leans to the side a bit, is he deliberately dodging bullets?"
[ Character Trial, [Boothill], activated ]
Noticing this prompt.
Guinaifen immediately opened the character's trial interface!
"I feel like Boothill's skill design might be different from other characters~"
Entering the trial interface.
First, use the technique.
Boothill quickly spun his revolver.
The muzzle pointed skyward.
With a simple "click" sound.
Traces of gunpowder appeared in the air.
"Reloading!"
[ Smile of the Three-times-nine ]
[ Enter battle ]
Guinaifen first took a simple look at the skill summary and mechanics introduction on the right.
She started the actual combat directly.
"Boothill is a character of the Path of The Hunt, specifically for single targets."
"But unlike Seele from the 1.0 era, he needs to break the enemy's weakness to deal high damage…"
Guinaifen first chose to release a basic attack.
She originally thought it would be like the out-of-combat basic attack, just a plain, unremarkable gunshot.
However.
She saw Boothill dash forward to the enemy in one stride.
Then he lifted his leg.
He lifted it until it was almost parallel to his other leg!
Forming a massive split!
The spurs on his cowboy boots began to spin at high speed.
These were originally small auxiliary tools for cowboys to gently prod their horses.
Now, spinning at high speed, they acted like a chainsaw!
He leaped high and descended upon the enemy.
"Zzzzzzz——"
Sparks flew everywhere on the field!
Guinaifen was dumbfounded.
This basic attack,
It's a bit exaggerated!
...
"Holy crap! Using spurs to perform a lobotomy on someone?"
"What kind of person would choose this method of attack?"
"Is Boothill's flexibility this good?"
"Brother, where did you learn yoga?"
"He's a mechanically modified cowboy, let alone 180 degrees, he might be able to spin 360 degrees!"
"The quality of these pants is really good."
"Link the jeans and cowboy boots!"
...
"Family, calm down!"
"Boothill, like other characters, has an ancestral basic attack that is basically never used in battle."
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity, such a good basic attack, can't even use it a few times in a game."
"Let's continue to look at his main output skill—what's the deal with the skill?"
A golden bullet was held in Boothill's hand.
He slid it into the revolver's chamber very smoothly.
Then he spun the gun, and swung both hands downward!
The gun was then directly inserted into his pocket.
He struck an extremely handsome pose.
Guinaifen immediately laughed.
"This backward lean of his waist is quite intense!"
"Does Boothill have a herniated disc or something?"
"Wait a minute!"
"Why did he put the gun away after loading it?"
Guinaifen noticed that Boothill's hands were empty at this moment.
As if it were purely to strike a cool pose.
She glanced at the barrage before a look of realization dawned on her.
"Oh~~"
"This is comparing the speed of drawing the gun, right?"
"Just like duels between cowboys in those illusions."
"Put the gun away first, and then fire the moment you pull it from the holster."
"It's all about the speed of quick-draw!"
"And after activating this skill, Boothill can only attack the target and vice versa, perfectly corresponding to the duel mode!"
"Details, such details!"
Releasing the skill.
Boothill drew his gun almost instantly.
He fired several shots directly at his own waist.
A barrage of gunfire poured out.
Just enough to break the weakness of that small mob.
Then,
He triggered the enhanced attack!
Boothill gave a wicked smile.
This time he didn't pull out his gun,
Instead, he pointed his finger!
While pointing at the enemy,
His finger also instantly transformed into a large gun barrel.
"Boom!"
A large-caliber bullet blasted out.
The enemy target exploded on the spot.
Black smoke and flames erupted!
...
"Holy shit!"
"Huh?"
"Boothill, you kid are playing it cool!?"
"Good heavens! This is a real [ hand ] gun!"
"This is a man's romance!"
"A real man has to play with guns!"
"The body is the weapon [ Wow ][ Wow ]"
"You don't have to play with guns, but you must pull a Boothill in Honkai: Star Rail!"
...
Boothill's speed was very fast.
Soon it was his second turn.
After another enhanced attack, the ultimate energy was full.
Little Guizi was already a bit hyped up now!
Those characters with good melee feel are like fist-to-flesh, while Boothill is headshot after headshot!
Sharp bullets, explosive gunpowder.
Even a "street performance artist" like Guinaifen felt the charm of gunfire!
However, this was not the limit.
The ultimate's effect was even more excessive!
After activation.
Boothill turned his back to the enemy.
One hand on his hip, the other gently stroking his cowboy hat.
His tattered cape fluttered in the wind behind him.
Under the brim of his hat,
A faint, indiscernible smile was revealed.
As if everything was under his control!
As the ultimate was released.
The game's background changed drastically.
The sunset was like blood.
In the dim yellow desert.
Boothill was walking unhurriedly in the sunset's afterglow.
The wind and sand blew over a wanted poster.
The portrait on the wanted poster was exactly the selected enemy target.
——[ Silvermane Lieutenant ]!
He clamped the wanted poster with two fingers.
While turning around, he spat out a bullet flickering with cold light.
His thumb flicked.
The bullet rotated at high speed in the air.
Boothill performed a back-handed catch.
Letting the rotating bullet fall perfectly into the chamber in mid-air.
Completely one-handed operation, smooth and coherent.
He grinned.
Revealing a row of shark teeth.
"Bang!"
His right hand pressed down.
The bullet behind him exploded instantly!
The sky-high flames corresponded with the sunset at the beginning.
Debris and flames floated past behind him.
...
"Look at him!"
"Real men never look back at explosions!"
"I wish I could be this cool when I smoke."
"Why isn't the ultimate voice line [ I'll f*cking Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh- ]
