Xiao Chen, Rival in Love?
"What a coincidence, Xiao Chen has arrived too."
Lin Yue stood up and said with a smile, "I'll go pick him up."
"Why is he here?" Lin Qingying asked in surprise.
Jiang Xiaoyun, standing to the side, smiled broadly, "Xiao Chen asked about your birthday a few days ago. We didn't tell you because we wanted to surprise you. Look, he's quite sincere; he arrived right on time."
I suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Outside, Lin Yue led a young man Xiao Chen in. Xiao Chen was around 25 years old, very handsome, and was carrying a large bouquet of flowers with the words "Happy Birthday Xiao Ying" written on them.
Long time no see, happy birthday!
Xiao Chen held a bouquet of flowers, a broad smile on her face.
"Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to come."
Lin Qingying stood up, accepted the flowers, placed them on the table beside her, and smiled, "You came from BH City?"
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded. "I arrived in Huaining City two days ago, but I've been busy with some things at the group, so I didn't want to bother you. I was planning to give you a surprise."
As he spoke, Xiao Chen's gaze fell on me. "And who is this?"
"Ding Han."
I slowly stood up and said with a smile, "A friend of Lin Qingying."
"Xiao Chen."
The other person extended their hand, shook it, and smiled, "Hello, Ding Han!"
Clearly, he exerted force quickly in his hand, while I just smiled. 1164 points of strength? You think you're afraid of me? Are you kidding me?
The next moment, he exerted force, and I exerted force as well. Instantly, Xiao Chen's face turned pale, and he hurriedly let go, pretending to be calm as he smiled and said, "Xiao Ying, why haven't I heard you mention having a friend like Ding Han before?"
"Oh."
Lin Qingying said, "I met him when I was interning in Creek City."
Then, Lin Qingying introduced, "Ding Han, let me formally introduce you. This is Xiao Chen, my senior in college. Back then, he was pursuing one of my best friends from the same dormitory, and it was only through my matchmaking that he finally succeeded. I never expected him to be in Huaining City and to have prepared such a surprise."
I nodded, feeling a little disappointed. Xiao Chen's name sounds like the male lead in an idol drama, unlike me, whose name sounds like Ding Han or Yang Wei. The styles are completely different.
"Xiao Ying."
Xiao Chen seemed somewhat displeased with Lin Qingying's lengthy explanation to me, and said with an embarrassed expression, "Chen Jing and I are a thing of the past. She's married now, so let's not bring this up again, shall we?"
"Okay, sure."
Lin Qingying still maintained her elegant and beautiful appearance.
Just then, another person entered. Zhang Ruolin had finally arrived, dressed beautifully in her finest attire. Led by the housekeeper, she walked into the living room, presented a bouquet of flowers, and said with a smile, "Ying'er, happy birthday!"
"Sister Ruolin, you're here!"
Lin Qingying up, gave Ruolin a hug, and then accepted the flowers.
Zhang Ruolin glanced at me, then at Xiao Chen, and suddenly sensed there might be a story behind it. So, after sitting down, she sent me a message through the game system: "Who is this Xiao Bai who looks like a male lead in a romance drama?"
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Ying's senior from university, seems like he's up to no good..."
"It's alright, with me here, no one can steal your leading role from me!"
The next moment, Zhang Ruolin presented the birthday gift box and said with a smile, "Ying'er, this is just a small token of my appreciation, I hope you like it!"
"Oh?"
Lin Qingying asked with a smile, "Can I open it?"
"Certainly!"
Upon opening the box, inside was a very beautiful dress. It's clear that Zhang Ruolin spared no expense; this dress must have cost at least tens of thousands of yuan, as the brand name seemed somewhat familiar.
"I carefully selected this for you, do you like it?" Zhang Ruolin asked.
"Like!"
Lin Qingying the skirt, admiring it with obvious delight.
"Cough cough..."
I glanced at her work clothes and said, "If you like them, go back to your room and change?"
"Ah?"
Lin Qingying looked embarrassed. "You want to see me wear this dress?"
"Hmm, you rarely dress like this, I think you could give it a try."
"Okay, wait a moment!"
With that, Lin Qingying took the dress and went upstairs.
"Ding Han."
Xiao Chen looked over and asked, "A while ago, Creek City was engulfed in war, and I heard the fighting was quite fierce. How did you meet Xiaoying there?"
She and I are roommates.
"..."
Xiao Chen's expression instantly turned grim. "So later... you went back to Huaining City with her? Could it be... you work at Yue Ning Group?"
No, not at all.
I shook my head. "I'm currently in charge of running a chain of internet cafes, and I'm not involved in Yue Ning's work."
"I see..."
Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiao Ying is just too kind and sentimental. Otherwise, she wouldn't have kept in touch with you even after you moved to Huaining City Creek City."
"That..."
I coughed and said, "I'm still living with Xiaoying."
"!!!"
Xiao Chen's eyelids twitched violently a few times.
Zhang Ruolin, standing to the side, suppressed a laugh but remained silent.
The atmosphere became awkward, with only Lin Yue and Jiang Xiaoyun casually chatting with Xiao Chen about business matters.
Not long after, footsteps came from upstairs, and Lin Qingying came down wearing the dress Zhang Ruolin had given her. The moment I saw her, I couldn't take my eyes off her. Lin Qingying in a different style was so beautiful. And I finally understood what Lu Xiaobei meant when he said that Lin Qingying's figure was unremarkable in her work clothes, but when she wore a dress like this with a low-cut neckline... her beauty was extraordinary!
She looked at me a little shyly and asked, "Does it look good?"
"Nice!"
I nodded vigorously.
Lin Qingying smiled slightly and sat down beside me.
"Xiao Ying."
At this moment, Xiao Chen stood up, took out an exquisite box from his pocket, and said with a smile, "This is a birthday gift for you. It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you like it."
Lin Qingying opened the box, only to find a diamond necklace inside, and the diamonds looked quite large.
Wow...
Jiang Xiaoyun squinted her eyes. "This must be at least five carats, right? Xiao Chen, you really went to great lengths for this."
"Of course, as long as Xiaoying is happy."
"Xiao Chen."
Lin Qingying frowned slightly and said, "This gift is too precious; I cannot accept it."
"No, it's really not expensive..."
Xiao Chen said, "Although this diamond is a collector's item, it's only worth a little over nine million. Xiao Ying, you must accept this as a token of my appreciation. Besides, it would be so embarrassing to take back something you've already given away. You wouldn't want to embarrass your senior in public, would you?"
"Xiao Ying."
Lin Yue said, "Xiao Chen contacted me a few days ago. After learning about your situation at Yue Ning Group, he clearly stated that Tianhuan Construction Group would consider investing in Yuening, even if it's just from the perspective of a cooperative relationship. This necklace worth a mere nine million is nothing, so just accept it. It's a token of Xiao Chen's goodwill."
"..."
Lin Qingying hesitated, then turned her gaze to me.
"Um."
I nodded. At this point, we couldn't make things too difficult for Lin Qingying.
So Lin Qingying put away the necklace and smiled, "Xie Xie you, Senior Xiao Chen."
"No, no, not at all."
Xiao Chen shook his head with a smile, his expression rather unnatural.
"Ding Han."
Zhang Ruolin said, "Have you prepared a gift for Xiaoying? Why don't you take it out and let us see?"
"Good."
I reached out and, as if by magic, produced a beautifully crafted box that I had prepared beforehand from behind me, saying, "Xiao Ying, this is a birthday present for you. I hope you like it."
"Oh!"
Lin Qingying accepted the gift with a smile, opened the box, and stared in astonishment at the dozen or so deep blue gemstones inside.
"What are these?"
Xiao Chen glanced at them, his eyes filled with confusion, wondering what these stones were.
"Haha, it's just an ordinary stone."
I chuckled and said, "I found some pebbles in Xiaoying's drawer before. Knowing that she has an interest in collecting all kinds of interesting stones, I asked a friend to bring these stones from out of town. They are from the Eternal Frost Land North of the Great Wall, and they are quite rare."
"..."
Xiao Chen looked shocked, probably not expecting me to be so good at making things up.
"It's quite beautiful."
Lin Qingying smiled and said, "In that case, my collection will have one more batch of exquisite small stones."
Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, probably feeling very uncomfortable.
"The kitchen is almost ready."
Lin Yue said, "How about... we eat first? Then cut the cake and get straight to the point?"
"Good!"
A large table was laden with delicious dishes; Lin Yue had brought in a chef from outside for this meal.
"Xiao Ying, you are the birthday girl, you should sit in the main seat."
Lin Yue began arranging the seating, saying, "Xiao Yun, you sit on the left with Xiao Ying. Xiao Chen, you're a guest from afar, and you haven't seen Xiao Ying for years. You're old classmates, so you must have a lot to talk about. You can sit on Xiao Ying's right."
Zhang Ruolin frowned, about to speak and refute the arrangement.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qingying suddenly took my arm and said with a smile, "Brother, Ding Han is a bit socially anxious. I'm afraid he'll be too nervous and won't eat enough. He can sit next to me."
As she spoke, she pulled me down to sit, pushing Xiao Chen, who had been beaming with joy, aside.
Lin Yue was sullen, while Jiang Xiaoyun gave me a deep look. But today, Lin Qingying the most important person, and she was the true mistress of the house, so her arrangements were also the most important.
The meal was enjoyable, but no one dared to drink alcohol, fearing that Xiao Chen would get them drunk and cause problems.
After dinner, we cut the cake, sang "Happy Birthday," and then played board games together for a while. The party lasted until after 10 p. m. before we finally got ready to leave.
"Xiaoying, let me take you."
Xiao Chen followed him outside, speaking with an ingratiating expression.
"Need not."
Lin Qingying her head. "Ding Han and I drove."
As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, quickly returned to the living room, picked up an uncut cake from the table, and then, in front of Xiao Chen, whispered in my ear on tiptoe, "Let's take this cake home and eat it. I want to make a second wish!"
After setting the cake down and starting the Bentley, just as I was about to leave with Lin Qingying, Lin Yue called out from outside, "Qingying, don't go yet, I have a few words to say to you."
Go ahead.
I nodded. "I'll wait for you in the car."
"Um."
Lin Qingying out of the car and walked back into the living room with Lin Yue.
Zhang Ruolin greeted me, and a red Audi A4 pulled up outside. It was probably one of her close friends or someone who picked her up.
About ten minutes later, Lin Qingying finally came out of the living room, got into the car, fastened her seatbelt, and said with a pale face, "Ding Han, let's go."
"Um."
I drove away and soon drove onto the road.
"Sorry..."
She seemed utterly exhausted, leaning back in her chair, gazing at the neon lights outside the window, feeling particularly helpless at that moment.
"Xiaoying, can I guess what your brother said to you?" I asked.
"Oh?"
She turned to look at me and said, "You could have guessed?"
"Hmm, pretty much it."
As I drove, I explained, "His general idea is that the Yue Ning Group is currently in turmoil. Xie Zheng, along with a group of shareholders, has launched a joint attack on you, attempting to kick you off the board of directors. Their key tactic is to attract investment and dilute your shareholding. In response, Lin Yue is probably advising you to seize the opportunity to get Xiao Chen involved to help you. This way, you'll have a powerful ally who can stand up to Xie Zheng's side. Am I right?"
"Um..."
She nodded slightly. "Isn't it melodramatic?"
"It's alright, it's also quite realistic."
I took a deep breath and remained silent, but my heart was filled with mixed emotions. If I weren't a player, but a handsome young man with nothing, how desperate would I feel facing the handsome and wealthy Xiao Chen, overwhelmed by his vast wealth? In the most extreme case, I would probably have no choice but to give up.
"Ding Han."
Lin Qingying turned to look at me and said, word by word, "I refuted my brother. I told him that even if I don't want Yuening, I won't do anything against my conscience. Even if I lose Yuening in the end, I will be willing. Besides, the shares I own in Yuening are enough for the two of us to live a carefree life for several lifetimes, so please don't overthink it."
"Xiao Ying..."
At the red light, I stopped the car, turned around, looked at her seriously, and said, "Yuening is the last gift your parents left you. Since that's the case, you must fight for it. I absolutely cannot tolerate you losing something so important because of me. Don't worry, I'm not a coward. I can definitely help you. Let's work together. If problems arise, we'll solve them. Never give up!"
"Um..."
Lin Qingying suddenly burst into tears.
"Don't cry..."
I tore off a tissue and handed it to her, then pointed up and said, "What if you get photographed crying in your car as the Yue Ning Group CEO? Do you think the traffic police will laugh at you?"
Lin Qingying tears. "Just focus on driving and don't run any more red lights."
"Okay..."
Nighttime, the old house.
I lit the birthday candles, turned off the lights, and took out my phone to play a birthday song from Haidilao (a hot pot restaurant chain).
Say goodbye to all your troubles~bye~and hi to all your happiness~Happy birthday, my dear, may every day be wonderful~~~
After listening, Lin Qingying couldn't stop smiling, "This birthday song is so special, I've never heard it before."
"Now that you've heard me, quickly blow out the candles and make a wish."
"Good!"
The next moment, she blew out the candles and then made a wish earnestly.
I turned on the light and said, "What is your wish? Can you tell me?"
"If I say it, it won't work, so naturally I can't say it."
She stood up, lifted her skirt, twirled around, and smiled, "Is this dress really that pretty?"
"Of course, Ruolin has good taste."
I crossed my arms and said, "Besides, you're so naturally beautiful, what wouldn't look good on you? The dress itself is quite nice, you should try different styles more often, although you could also wear work clothes."
"Good."
She nodded and smiled, "Whatever you say."
But just then, a sudden "buzz" went through my mind, and then I heard the voice from the star chart—
"Brothers, something terrible has Worldly Uncontested! The main force of the Crimson Firmament Alliance has been captured in the Shadow Valley map, and a large number of players are surrounded. Most of them do not have the Resurrection Sacred Canon. We must send reinforcements as soon as possible!"
"What the hell is going on?" Shen Jin asked.
"I just received the news too!"
The Worldly Uncontested said, "The coordinates of the Crimson Firmament Alliance were leaked during a team mission, and the Dark Tide immediately reacted. In addition, some players who colluded with the Dark Tide also participated in the annihilation operation!"
I immediately used 1% of my current Experience Points to ask, "Old Yu, who is the leader of the Dark Tide players participating in the operation?"
"Moon Soil!"
"Depend on!"
I gritted my teeth. "How many people did Moon Soil take with him?"
"At least three hundred people!"
"Damn it! They can't all have the Resurrection Sacred Canon. Are they going to fight us to the death?"
"That's right!"
The man Worldly Uncontested said, "Enough talk, let's assemble immediately!"
"Alright, everyone assemble, let's fight them!"
The next moment, a system message echoed in my ears!
[Please note, the Region Task "Reinforcements for Shadow Valley" (S-rank) has been officially released! Mission details: Over 120 players from the Crimson Firmament Alliance, including player "Gun Like a Dragon," are trapped in Shadow Valley, a map located 100 miles southwest of Creek City. The Dark Tide Wind Raven Regiment and some players affiliated with the Dark Tide are launching a fierce attack to try and wipe them out. Please go to their aid immediately!]
This was not just an encounter, but a premeditated murder!
If the 120+ players of the Crimson Firmament Alliance are wiped out in Shadow Valley, with at least half of them actually dying, it will be a fatal blow to the Huaining City Player Faction!
Startled, I abruptly stood up from the sofa.
"Ding Han, what's wrong?" Lin Qingying nearby, was startled by my question.
"A friend of mine had an accident in Creek City, and I have to go there now."
I reached out and put my hand on her shoulder. "Xiaoying, you go to sleep. I'll be right back. Nothing will happen."
"But..."
Happy birthday, and be a good boy/girl!
"Oh!"
Lin Qingying got up and went back to her room.
I went downstairs, took out my Off-road Motorcycle, and without thinking about anything else, sped off to the Player Black Market. After I arrived, Ruolin, Cai Cai, Fatty, and the other seven people also arrived one after another.
"You've come too..."
Ruolin looked at me and whispered, "Where's Xiaoying?"
"I've lulled him to sleep. Let's go, teleport to Creek City!"
"All right..."
A large group of players had already gathered in front of the Teleportation Array. Yu Shi Wu Zheng was also there, Worldly Uncontested said in a deep voice, "Split into two teams, A and B. Team A will be with Ding Han, and Team B will be with me and Shen Jin. We will work together after we arrive in Creek City!"
After saying that, everyone raced against time and teleported directly to the other side of Creek City. They then took out their motorcycles, and one after another, the motorcycles sped across the wilderness, heading straight for Shadow Valley!
"Drop!"
A message came from Xu Tian: "Ding Han, you guys are here?"
"We're here, but it's still at least an hour's journey to Shadow Valley. You guys need to hold on!"
"Um!"
He sent a voice message: "The map of Shadow Valley is quite large. We are currently dealing with them under the leader's command. However, you need to be careful. The only ones chasing us are the Dark Tide's Wind Raven Regiment. The group led by Moon Soil just showed up and left. I suspect they might be planning to besiege the point and ambush reinforcements, with their main focus being to intercept and kill your reinforcements!"
"Don't worry, we will be careful!"
"Yes, it's up to you guys this time!"
More than an hour later, the terrain ahead became more complex, and a giant valley appeared in front of them— Shadow Valley!
"Get out of the vehicle, prepare for battle!"
At my command, I, carrying the Conqueror, led the 130+ players from Huaining City in Group A forward, simultaneously raising my hand and shouting, "Shadow Assassin, advance and report back!"
Immediately, more than ten people broke away from the group and sped forward, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.
Shadow Valley, entrance.
"Bang!"
In the darkness, a gunshot suddenly rang out, followed by a voice Telling a Story in the Team Channel: "Bro, I've found the coordinates of Moon Soil, it's halfway up the mountain at the valley entrance, specifically Shadow Valley (4772, 1743). Everyone be careful."
The two sides are currently more than 1200 meters apart, so the only options are sniper rifles or trying your luck with RPGs.
"Careful!"
In the Team Channel, Cai Cai suddenly pointed to the sky ahead and said, "A large number of drones have appeared! They're from the Wind Raven Legion. Be careful, the drones are carrying bombs!"
The next moment, a series of loud "bang bang bang" sounds came from ahead, and several bombs exploded in the forest, slightly damaging the health bars of several National Server players.
"Damn it!"
On the other side, came the Worldly Uncontested voice of Team B.
"First, neutralize the drone offensive, then launch an attack to break through the blockade."
I frowned and said, "Everyone in both teams A and B, immediately put your electronic devices into your storage space. I will launch an Electromagnetic Pulse Attack in 10 seconds!"
Next, the countdown began. The instant the countdown ended, a cluster of deep blue light gathered on his back and exploded!
"Puff--"
Electromagnetic Storm erupted, and deep blue pulses swept across the mountains and plains, forming a hemispherical shockwave with a radius of two kilometers centered on me, illuminating the entire valley entrance!
In the distance, sparks flew from the sky and the ground. All the drones that participated in the attack were destroyed, and the group of Caucasian Player were lying in ambush on the mountainside were caught off guard and all their electronic devices, such as cell phones and night vision goggles, were destroyed!
"Equip the night vision gear, charge!"
At my command, I carried the Conqueror and sped forward, constantly weaving in a zigzag pattern to avoid the enemy's sporadic sniper rifle attacks. The moment the distance between us closed to 400 meters, I immediately hid behind a large tree, aimed my night vision at the head of one of the enemy 'Firepower Specialist, and instantly unleashed a burst of bullets!
"Bang bang bang~~~"
In an instant, a spray of blood erupted from behind the Firepower Specialist; without the Resurrection Sacred Canon, he died on the spot!
A shout came from Caucasian Player in the distance, and the next second, a barrage of fire locked onto my position. In just a moment, several holes appeared in the tree behind me, and with a whooshing sound, seven or eight RPG Rocket through the air, accurately hit the tree I was hiding in.
"Boom boom boom~~~"
Flames surged, and damage numbers leaped up from above!
"2273!"
"2205!"
"982!"
"889!"
The opponents were using purple and blue RPGs, with the purple ones having around 5000 firepower and the blue ones around 2000. Based on this calculation, with my 3700+ armor and 16% Damage Reduction, the actual Damage Reduction against firearms was already over 50%!
For a character with over 69,000 health points, this damage is practically negligible.
Clutching the Conqueror, he swiftly moved to the right front amidst the flames of the RPG, simultaneously aiming at a Black Psionicist carrying a rocket launcher. Instantly, over 20 bullets whistled out, causing the man's health bar to tremble violently. With a muffled groan, he vanished into the night.
"FK!"
From afar, you could already hear the opposing players cursing loudly.
Without hesitation, I advanced in an irregular zigzag pattern while continuously firing. The 200-400 meter range was entirely dominated by Assault Rifle. The Conqueror sprayed fire, and in less than two minutes, I had eliminated at least 20+ enemy players.
Behind them, Worldly Uncontested and Shen Jin, along with at least 200+ others, closed to within about 250 meters, unleashing a barrage of firepower to suppress the enemy. Rockets streaked across the night sky, igniting streaks of fire on the foreign players' positions.
"Ding Han!"
In the team chat, "Don't rush too far forward, we can't support you!" Worldly Uncontested.
"No need to help me!"
I also said directly in the team channel, "You guys push forward at your own pace, don't worry about me. I'm only playing so aggressively to draw their fire. Listen up, everyone, those with the Resurrection Sacred Canon should hold the front, those without should retreat a bit. Let's try our best to make sure everyone gets back alive!"
"Clear!"
Within the team, everyone responded enthusiastically.
Three minutes later, I advanced to a position 100 meters away from the enemy. At this moment, the enemy's firepower finally intensified, with a large number of Submachine Gun and rifles aiming and firing. In the instant when bullets whistled overhead, I suddenly tumbled and rolled into a pile of fallen leaves.
"Whoosh!"
Bio-Optical Invisibility, activated!
His body suddenly blended into the surrounding scenery, and in the next second he switched to Power Sword. With Battle Roar and Chasing Clouds and Pursuing Lightning activated, his body silently rushed towards the enemy's position in the darkness.
The rockets from RPGs and the large-caliber bullets from sniper rifles flew past his ears, but they were all aimed at the group of people who Worldly Uncontested.
"Watch out, he might have become invisible!"
At that moment, someone shouted from inside the foreign server's position.
Too late!
With a sudden leap, he twisted and flipped over a rock, his Power Sword slashing across the necks of two players. Blood immediately spread, and the two Firepower Specialist, still firing fiercely, were instantly decapitated!
"54772!"
"50883!"
The instant the two fell silently, I spread my five fingers and pulled down a Maya Lightning Array from the sky!
"Not good!"
Within the enemy's clustered position, more than 30 players were enveloped by the Maya Lightning Array. Instantly, screams, growls, and wails rose and fell as their health bars plummeted!
20 meters away, I had already switched to Explosive Gun, and I was using AOE damage bombs. I fired fiercely, wiping out the remaining fish that had escaped the Maya Lightning Array in droves!
"Ding Han!"
Behind me, I heard broken Chinese, followed by a burning pain in my back. Although I was still invisible, the enemy was blindly firing from the muzzle, and a whole magazine of bullets hit my back.
It's Moon Soil, the player hailed as Tier 0.5 by the North American server!
In the darkness, the moment Moon Soil emptied his magazine, he immediately switched to a cyan longsword and unleashed Explosive Charge!
"Boom!"
The moment I unleashed my Explosive Charge, I also activated Step Slash. Immediately, the word "MISS" floated above my head. In Moon Soil's charge trajectory, my position was not the "end point" but the "midpoint." He didn't intend to engage in a head-on confrontation either, but rather to unleash a wave of control and damage, probably because he was wary of the Power Sword!
The next second, the two switched to Explosive Gun in perfect unison!
"Bang bang bang~~~"
The moment the two moved in opposite directions, they both aimed their bullets at each other's vitals. Immediately, sparks flew from the Annihilation Rock Armor and the outer edge of the Stardust Wall. Combined with the output of other players, the resilience of the Stardust Wall did not even last two seconds before it was destroyed!
"Charge! Suppress them!"
In the team chat, a voice detached from Worldly Uncontested rang out. "Ding Han is already engaged in close combat with them. All of you, push forward and don't let him die in vain!"
"Whoosh!"
The next second, the Invincible Burst Skill is activated— Absolute Space!
The moment the golden light enveloped her body, Step Slash forward and closed in. With a swing of her Power Sword attack and Dragon Blade landed on a level 50 Psionicist was trying to activate her psionic entanglement. She was a blonde woman with long, wavy hair. She had no time to react when the Step Slash suddenly closed in, and her chest was cleaved open by the Power Sword.
"13028!"
"29875!"
The attack is too powerful; there's no need for Crippling Blow or decapitation effects. Even a normal attack will kill in two hits!
"You bastard!"
A rough voice came from behind, and a Gene Warrior, at least 2.5 meters tall, wielding a cyan battle axe, roared and unleashed the Sacred Blood Boiling skill as he charged forward!
"Whoosh!"
Raise your Left Hand and throw the Energy Blade!
Instantly, the orange dagger pierced the opponent's chest. The fully-fledged Gene Warrior was electrocuted and screamed in agony, kneeling on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably!
A flash of sword light, and a head flew into the sky!
At the same time as he killed his opponent, he didn't forget to use his Left Hand to pluck the Energy Blade from the corpse.
However, there were just too many foreign players around me, at least 100+ of them attacking me, which made me a little disoriented. If I didn't have invincibility, I might have been riddled with bullets in a second!
"Ding Han!"
The moment the invincibility dissipated, Moon Soil's roar came, but he did not attack. Instead, he raised his hand, and instantly countless Super Weapon Masters from all directions launched skills such as Explosive Charge, Leaping Chop, and Rising Dragon Slash!
Damn it, a saturation attack!!
The next second, without thinking, I immediately used Battle Roar + Power Sword Storm + Breath of the Forest Whisperer, and then used a Medical Box to fight back at full health!
In the Power Sword Storm, foreign players fell in droves, but they seemed determined to kill. The moment they saw the "dizzy" icon appear above my head, everyone went berserk!
"Kill him!"
Moon Soil arrived with its Invincible Burst Skill, its azure Monomolecular Sword surrounded by surging elemental energy. It unleashed Rising Dragon Slash, a normal attack, and Ash Sweep, causing excruciating pain as five consecutive damage numbers jumped out of the user's body.
"13584!"
"4564!"
"5298!"
"9047!"
"12984!"
Without Annihilation Rock Armor and Stardust Wall, my 3700+ armor was indeed no match for the onslaught of a player of Moon Soil's level. I instantly lost over 40,000 HP, and with the attacks from other players, my HP bar was completely depleted!
Intense pain shot through every part of my body; the feeling of death was something I never wanted to experience again!
Another copy of the Resurrection Sacred Canon has been consumed, and the Resurrection option pops up before my eyes!
No doubt about it, I'm reborn on the spot!
"Whoosh!"
Just as the Invincible Burst Skill around Moon Soil dissipated, I instantly revived at full health on the spot. I thrust my Power Sword forward, delivering a "normal attack" effect. Moon Soil's body trembled, entering an extremely brief "stun" state. In the settings of <Star Abyss>, players in a stunned state cannot perform any actions!
Although this time is only about 0.2 seconds, as long as you react quickly enough, you can seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
A flash of sword light appeared, and a combo of Rising Dragon Slash + normal attack + Ash Sweep landed on Moon Soil's body, dealing massive damage and instantly killing him!
Moon Soil's neck and body were cleaved into pieces, and he was in so much pain that he almost lost consciousness. But the moment the Resurrection Sacred Canon took effect, his gaze, which had been dazed by the intense pain, returned to calm and wisdom.
The battle isn't over yet, and Moon Soil doesn't seem to have any intention of teleporting away...
Very good, round two!
"Whoosh!"
Without hesitation, I instantly activated Absolute Space, which had just finished its rebirth cooldown, and entered the invincible state once again. At the same time, I spread my five fingers with my Left Hand, and the Maya Lightning Array descended again, directly smashing into the most densely packed area of the enemy's group!
"Focus fire! Force out his second Resurrection Sacred Canon!" an Asian player shouted wildly from the crowd.
"Splash~~~"
Without saying a word, I poured out at least 40 rockets from my Dimensional Storage Space, then raised the gun and fired at the impact fuse!
"NO!"
A group of Caucasian Player nearby were terrified!
The next second, explosions rang out one after another, but I remained unmoved while under the invincibility effect. Ahead of me, the newly resurrected Moon Soil was forced to activate its invincibility instantly and looked over with a furious expression.
Before the dust had even settled, their melee players attacked again from all directions!
The instant the Absolute Space dissipated, I immediately activated Battle Roar + Annihilation Rock Armor + Stardust Wall + Power Sword Storm. I actually welcomed their attempt to surround and kill me; let them trade. Even if it was for the Resurrection Sacred Canon, I would still be guaranteed to profit.
"Boom~~~"
