"Holy crap..."

The Team Channel immediately buzzed with excitement. Cai Cai exclaimed, "The 2.0 final mission is here! The final battle is definitely happening at the Great Wall Watch Overwatch... What do you say, boss, brothers, sisters?!"

"They're here!"

Ruolin, Kou Mei, and Bingzi all responded.

I joined the group chat and said, "Wake up, everyone! Fatty, Faye, Story? Are you three there?"

Upon being called upon, the three individuals logged on one after another.

"How so?"

The fat man said, "We're not leaving right away, are we?"

"Otherwise what?"

I chuckled. "You're not in Shen Yue right now, are you?"

What do you think?

"Damn it..."

Cai Cai said, "I admire my Fatty the most. Among all of us players, none of us live as carefree as him."

"Who said that?"

Huo Bingzhi Ri, "If Boss were as wild as Fatty, he'd already be sleeping with Lin Qingying on his left and Lu Xiaobei on his right. Why would he envy Fatty?"

"Ahem, stop talking nonsense."

I said in a deep voice, "Everyone, move out! Meet at the Player Black Market. Hurry up! Those who are already there should replenish their ammunition and supplies first. Don't waste any time!"

"Okay!"

So I quickly put on my beloved Baleno jacket and tiptoed out the door.

"Snap~~"

Just then, the door next to me opened, and Lin Qingying looked at me.

Why aren't you asleep yet?

I turned and glared at her in the room, saying, "Go to sleep, don't worry me, you have to go to work tomorrow."

"And what about you...?" she asked.

"I have some business to attend to; I need to go on a long trip with the brothers."

Don't lie to me.

Lin Qingying's eyes were slightly red. She took out her phone and showed me the screen, saying, "The news has been released. The situation is tense for the Chinese border guards stationed along the Great Wall. A major battle is very likely to break out, right? Also, just recently, many people on short video platforms like Douyin have reported that China is deploying a large number of troops to the north because something has happened in the demon realm, is that right?"

"Um..."

I nodded, then smiled and said, "But it's not a big problem. You have to believe me. No matter how this battle goes, I'll definitely come back alive. Go to sleep, okay?"

"Ding Han..."

Lin Qingying hesitated, then suddenly burst into tears and said, "I'm going to sleep. Come back safe and sound."

"Okay, don't worry."

I reached out and wiped away the tears on her cheeks, saying, "Go to sleep, be a good girl."

"Um."

Lin Qingying closed the room door.

I left quickly, took out my Off-road Motorcycle downstairs, sped out of the community onto the elevated highway, pierced the cold wind on the highway at midnight, and headed straight for the Player Black Market.

The Player Black Market was bustling with activity, attracting a large number of players.

"Ding Han, you're here?"

From afar, Gun Like a Dragon waved a greeting, and Xu Tian and Chaos Demon King beside him nodded with smiles.

"Um."

I nodded, Cai Cai, Ruolin, and the others quickly gathered around. In the blink of an eye, the eight-person team had reunited.

"Alliance Leader Long."

Not far away, a level 50 sword-wielding expert approached and asked, "This is SSS-rank mission, what are the plans?"

This person looks familiar; his name is Wall Observer, a player in his 30s, and the leader of the In the Jianghu guild.

Previously, on the Frigid Tundra, the In the Jianghu Guild was surrounded by Caucasian Player, suffering heavy casualties. The guild leader was heartbroken at the time, and he went Gun Like a Dragon for a long time, reportedly with tears streaming down his face.

As for the group of Caucasian Player who almost wiped In the Jianghu Guild, I've already dealt with them, so every time Wall Observer, their eyes are filled with gratitude.

"As usual, the player with the Resurrection Sacred Canon goes first, the rest await orders."

"Um!"

Wall Observer Shang nodded, turned to me, and said with a warm smile, "Ding Han, you've come too!"

"I have to come, it's the first SSS-rank mission in the entire server."

"That's true~~~"

So, once everyone had gathered, Gun Like a Dragon dashed up to the high platform next to the Teleportation Array and said, "Brothers, quiet down and listen to me. Right behind this Teleportation Array is Teleportation Point 16 on the Great Wall. There's a fierce battle going on there. If we go there, we might be attacked instantly. Everyone, stay alert. Those with the Resurrection Sacred Canon should go first. Let's stabilize the situation on the Great Wall first."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Can we go in now?"

I looked at the shimmering Teleportation Array and asked a question.

"It's ready!"

"Superior!"

Immediately, I activated Battle Roar, Annihilation Rock Armor, and Stardust Wall, and the next second I charged into the Teleportation Array with my Explosive Gun!

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, everything went dark, and then the sound of machine guns and the sharp cries of demonic spirits filled the air. A row of Crimson Dragon Country Power Armor armored machine gunners were firing large-caliber Gatling guns into the air, while in the air, dark demonic figures were swooping down!

"Careful!"

Someone shouted, and then a bird-like demon covered in sharp teeth, riddled with bullet holes, slammed heavily onto the Great Wall. Before dying, it retaliated, biting a machine gunner wearing first-generation armor in half at the waist.

In an instant, his internal organs surged, blood gushed out, and the stench of blood filled the air!

"Grass!"

I frowned, quickly moved forward, aimed at a dark shadow in the air, and fired. In the flash of the Explosive Gun, the low-health unit let out a miserable scream and crashed into the outer side of the Great Wall, the scream fading into the distance.

"Holy crap..."

Behind them, amidst flashes of light, a group of players from Huaining City arrived at the Great Wall, staring in disbelief at the battle unfolding before them. This level of intensity was a first for most of them.

"Spread out!"

With a loud shout, the Gun Like a Dragon.

"Keep up!"

At my command, I led an eight-man squad westward along the Great Wall, arriving at a position where the defenses were relatively weak.

"Flare!"

Above, a soldier from the Crimson Dragon Country shouted, followed by several flares that shot out and ignited in the sky north of the Great Wall, their light lingering for a long time.

Suddenly, when we looked beyond the Great Wall, we felt a chill run down our spines. The steep mountainside was teeming with demonic spirits, like a swarm of tiny insects, about to devour the fortress that the Crimson Dragon Country was so proud of!

Holy crap!

The fat man was dumbfounded, and for a moment he didn't know who to aim at.

"Depend on!"

Even I was secretly amazed, and shouted loudly, "Full power! Ruolin, Bingzi, you two follow me and hold the line!"

"Clear!"

The three of them leaped to the edge of the city wall, exposing themselves but gaining a clearer field of fire. They switched back and forth between the Explosive Gun and the UZI, firing wildly at the monster horde.

"Watch out from the sky!"

At that moment, the searchlights on the Great Wall behind them pointed straight into the sky, and they saw figures swooping down, wings outstretched, bodies crackling with lightning, and sharp claws revealed, attacking the players and soldiers on the wall!

Thunder Eagle, a purple-tier third-level demon spirit!

"Puff!"

The Thunder Eagle arrived too fast. Its claws suddenly opened, and the claw spikes pierced directly into the fat man's arms, dealing over 3000 damage. At the same time, it flapped its wings and lifted the fat man into the air!

"Holy crap, help!" the fat man exclaimed in alarm.

Cai Cai, Ruolin, and the others hurriedly aimed at the Thunder Eagle and fired, but the opponent had a full 500,000 health points, so it definitely wouldn't die within a few seconds. And once Fatty was grabbed off the Great Wall and thrown down, the height of at least fifty meters would be enough to turn him into a pile of minced meat!

"Whoosh!"

At the critical moment, I threw out the Energy Blade, and with a "thud," the Thunder Eagle's body fell to the ground!

But at the same time, a second Thunderhawk appeared, attacking Kou Mei with a shriek!

"Ah..."

Kou Mei activated her Starfall Bodyguard, but her shoulder was still pierced by the Thunder Claws, and she was about to be taken away.

Fuck you!

With a swift spin, the Wind Chaser transformed into a deep blue, cold light, severing Thunder Eagle's two sharp claws with a "crack." Thunder Eagle let out a miserable scream and flew away, covered in blood.

"Lower your center of gravity, everyone be careful!"

While I was putting out fires everywhere, I suddenly raised my UZI and fired wildly towards the outside of the city, continuing to suppress the demons that were about to attack.

Along the entire Great Wall battlefront, flames raged everywhere. Fighter jets circled overhead, constantly launching missiles and lasers to shoot down flying units among the demons. Flames flashed in the air, and the dense attacks from heavy machine guns, laser cannons, and close-in weapon systems on the walls made the scene absolutely thrilling!

"Ding Han, look over there!"

Half an hour later, Zhang Ruolin turned on the sight of her Submachine Gun and shone it into the darkness hundreds of meters away. Immediately, a figure appeared, followed by an orange health bar.

It's a filthy, fourth-tier demon spirit, Orange BOSS!

"Focus fire, take it down!"

Nearby players opened fire quickly, and I also took out my Conqueror and fired at the maximum range of 400 meters. Bullets from the city wall shot out with fiery trajectories, landing one by one on the body of the wrathful beast, causing it to roar incessantly.

Unfortunately, this is no longer the early version 2.0. Players' levels, equipment, and firepower are vastly different now. The 5 million health bar of the filthy beast is nothing to it. Before it even gets within 100 meters, it is killed in its first form, followed by its second and third forms. In less than three minutes, it turns into a pool of blood that seeps into the snow and ice outside the Great Wall.

"Snap!"

An Orange Treasure Chest fell into my storage space; I opened it immediately!

[Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Dimensional Expansion Crystal] (Expansion Space: 1 cubic meter)!]

Not bad, storage space increased by 1!

On the Great Wall, the cold wind howled, but no one cared about the cold anymore. A large number of monsters were attacking the mountain, and everyone was busy running for their lives. They had no time to think about anything unimportant.

With the players' strong reinforcements, the battle on the Great Wall gradually stabilized, and the demons that had attacked the Great Wall were all killed, and even their corpses were pushed back down.

By daybreak, everyone was exhausted. They sat on the steel ramparts, clutching their weapons, to rest. They were too tired to even utter a word.

"Drop!"

Just then, a WeChat message arrived from Lu Xiaobei: "I woke up to find the sky had fallen, Ding Han, are you already Great Wall Watch?"

"Yes, it's here."

I casually snapped a picture of the snow-covered scenery inside the Great Wall and sent it to her, "Come on, look at the magnificent landscape of our motherland!"

Lu Xiaobei sent a crying emoji:

"Why can't you just stay in the city like Milo and let others take your place?"

As evening fell and night descended.

Strands of lightning flashed in the sky, and a Senior Dragon Guard gritted his teeth and said, "The Thunder Eagles are here again! Everyone be careful!"

Accompanied by sharp screech and howl, at least several hundred thunder eagles descended from the sky!

On the city wall, several close-in weapon systems nearby opened fire at full power, turning the Thunder Eagles in the air into fireballs with a series of "boom boom boom" sounds. However, there were too many Thunder Eagles, and most of them still broke through the defense range of the close-in weapon systems and directly attacked the players and soldiers on the city wall!

"Fire while lying on your back!"

At my command, I lay down first, letting my cloak and breastplate touch the blood-soaked ground. I aimed my Explosive Gun at the head of a Thunderhawk and emptied the magazine instantly. Cai Cai, Ruolin, and the others followed suit. Thunderhawks kept falling from the sky, but some broke through the barrage of fire, extending their talons and tearing at the players.

Not far away, several players from the In the Jianghu Guild shouted that they were being grabbed step by step by Lei Ying and were about to be dragged and thrown off the Great Wall, which was dozens of meters high.

"Hold..."

Without hesitation, I drew my Power Sword and unleashed Explosive Charge, instantly severing the claws of a Thunder Eagle and rescuing an In the Jianghu Psionicist.

"Shadow Chaser..."

She looked very grateful.

The next second, I was already gone, swinging my Power Sword, my whole body spinning rapidly on the Great Wall like a blue top, "crack crack crack" as I slashed off the claws of six Thunder Eagles in succession.

"Ding Han, watch out behind you!"

Suddenly, Wall Observer shouted.

With a whooshing sound, I didn't even turn around. I suddenly took a Step Slash sideways, then turned around and unleashed an Ash Sweep severed the legs of the Thunder Eagle that had ambushed me!

Without its claws, the Thunderhawk isn't that much of a threat anymore. It's just a Purple BOSS, and any player who isn't completely useless can solo it right now!

On the city wall corridor, with all firepower at our backs, it took nearly twenty minutes to finally wipe out this wave of Thunder Eagles. My loot was nothing more than a large Points, plus a bunch of purple and Blue Treasure Chest.

"Ding Han!"

Ruolin pointed into the distance and said, "Look over there, the BOSS is here!"

I quickly looked through the Conqueror's scope and sure enough, I saw a blue figure flying from the sky. It looked like a bird, but it had no feathers, blood-red eyes, and menacing claws.

The next second, its attributes were captured and shared in the Team Channel.

[Thunder Rock Golem] (Cyan BOSS)

Level: 60

Attack: 4850-5500

Defense: 3500

Qi and Blood: 12,000,000

Grade: Demonic Aura - Level V

Evolutionary form: None

Skills: [Crazy Lightning Strike Lv10] [Petrifying Armor Lv10] [Wrathful Thunder Array Lv10]

Details: The Thunder Rock Golem a top-tier fifth-tier demon spirit, possessing extremely hard petrified skin and the power to summon a portion of lightning. It is an evil spirit of the north and a nightmare for human soldiers!

"He's coming for us! Focus fire and take him down!"

I immediately locked onto the Thunder Rock Golem's head, and the next second, the Conqueror opened fire with a burst of bullets. Damage numbers began to appear above the enemy's head.

"1877!"

"2323!"

"2128!"

"4982!"

"1999!"

No, the damage is too low!

The Thunder Rock Golem has a light blue stone skin on its surface, which is its Petrifying Armor skill. It has an exceptionally high Damage Reduction against firearms, so much so that even I, wielding the Blue Conqueror, couldn't deal any decent damage!

"It's coming!"

Cai Cai, Fatty, and the others opened fire, but their damage was even more pitiful, not even exceeding 500 points. Hitting the BOSS with 12 million HP was like tickling him.

"It's too hard!!"

A Firepower Specialist in the In the Jianghu was dumbfounded. "Damn, this boss is insanely tanky!"

I looked at the close-in weapon system (CIWS) turret not far away and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Aim the CIWS and blow that Tier 5 demon spirit to smithereens! Now!"

"Close-in weapon system, aim and fire immediately!"

With a loud command from a Dragon Guard, the close-in weapon system opened fire, and large-caliber shells exploded on the Thunder Rock Golem with a "bang, bang, bang," but the damage was only so-so; the opponent's Petrifying Armor was simply too overpowered!

A few seconds later, the Thunder Rock Golem approached, its blood-red maw opened wide, and after a long hiss, countless demonic energies surged forth, transforming into streaks of lightning that descended from the sky, directly activating the Wrathful Thunder Array!

A massive lightning array, approximately 50 meters in radius, descended, and amidst the flashing lightning, the players' health bars plummeted!

"Get out of the way! Quick, or activate invincibility!"

The next second, I scooped Kou Mei up in my arms, unleashed an Explosive Charge out, followed by a Step Slash, barely managing to escape the danger zone!

Ruolin and Gu Shi also rushed out, but Cai Cai, Fatty and the others were not so lucky. They had no choice but to use their Invincible Burst Skill and retreat quickly.

"Focus fire!"

In the vicinity, all players from Huaining City opened fire, joining the attack against the Thunder Rock Golem!

But the opponent's armor was too tanky. With a roar, streaks of lightning fell, and in less than half a minute, at least ten players had their Resurrection Sacred Canon cast!

At this moment, under the combined fire of everyone, they managed to whittle down more than 50% of the opponent's health bar.

"You beast!"

Just as I was worried that the Thunder Rock Golem was about to unleash a second Wrathful Thunder Array, a figure suddenly jumped off the transport plane, his body surging with Yuan Power, and a Power Gun in his hand radiating intense light!

Dragon General Wei Yang, he's back again!

"Laugh!"

The Power Gun transformed into a cold gleam, instantly piercing through the Thunder Rock Golem's head!

"2268724!"

OK, bought it instantly!

The next moment, a Cyan Treasure Chest fell into the storage space, and due to the arrival of Wei Yang and a group of Generation 3 Armor dragon guards, the defensive pressure in this area was greatly reduced.

No question, let's open the box first!

[Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Gargoyle Ring] (Quality: Cyan)!]

The moment my eyes fell on the loot, my heart started racing. Another cyan ring! Now, apart from my weapon and shield being orange gear, I'm almost fully equipped with cyan gear, which would complete my full cyan gear achievement!

He quickly opened the Dimensional Storage Space, and immediately the attributes of the Gargoyle Ring came into view.

[Gargoyle Ring] (Quality: Cyan)

Rank: Fifth Tier

Strength: +50

Agility: +48

Spirit: +46

Blessing: Critical Hit Chance +8%

Blessing: Lifesteal +8%

Specialty: Attack damage +14%

Blessing: Mighty Strength - II, increases attack power by 400 points.

Passive Skill: [Petrification], When attacking a target with a melee weapon, there is a 3% chance to petrify the target for 5 seconds.

Biography: The Gargoyle Ring is a treasure formed from the demonic energy of the Thunder Rock Golem, possessing an extremely magical power!

That feels so good!

A truly exquisite cyan ring!

Critical Strike, Life Steal, Damage Increase, and Mighty Force II – these four top-tier attributes max out the ring's stats. In addition, it even has a passive skill called "Petrification." The description of this passive skill is very clear: it only triggers in melee combat, with a 3% trigger rate. This means that one petrification effect is triggered after 33 hits, essentially a weaker version of the Paralysis Ring.

However, once triggered, it can petrify the target for up to 5 seconds!

This explains why it either doesn't trigger at all, or if it does, it can basically end the battle in PvP!

Good stuff, I'll take it!

He quickly put on the Gargoyle Ring and replaced the Chaos Dream Ring.

After glancing at the attributes of the Chaos Dream Ring and thinking it over, I decided that Ruolin was the most suitable candidate. So I sent her the item description and asked, "Do you need it?"

"Um!"

Without saying a word, she traded 200,000 coins and happily equipped the new ring.

He frowned, looking at his equipment. His helmet, chest armor, cloak, gauntlets, leg guards, boots, necklace, and rings were all blue. The only thing missing was his main and off-hand equipment. Currently, his main hand was Power Sword, and his off-hand was the Flame Breaking Shield, both of which were orange-tier.

With the off-hand equipment ready, I can equip the blue Conqueror, so all that's missing is the main-hand equipment.

This kind of thing can wait, but there's no need. Why give up the entire blue achievement to someone else? So I went directly to the Old Day Royal Court's territory and came to a place of Worldly Uncontested.

"Ding Han, is something the matter?"

The Worldly Uncontested, is currently arranging tasks within the guild.

"Um."

I nodded. "If I remember correctly, Old Yu, the Nebula Blade you have is a cyan weapon, right?"

"Yes."

He smiled slightly, "What's wrong? You, who wields Power Sword, would you really look down on my trashy Monomolecular Sword?"

"I've got my eye on it, I just wanted to borrow it for a bit to get the achievement reward, it'll only take a few seconds, is that okay?"

"It's no big deal!"

Without Worldly Uncontested, he handed over the Nebula Blade.

So, I placed the Nebula Blade in my main-hand weapon slot. The next moment, I heard a prompt asking if I wanted to reveal my ID. Naturally, I pretended to hide it, and a bell rang throughout the room—

[Congratulations to player [*Shadow] for successfully becoming the first player in the entire server to obtain all-cyan equipment! Additional rewards: Achievement +6, Charm Value +2!]

"Holy crap..."

There Are Monsters exclaimed, "Ding Han, this is too heaven-defying! Your entire body is blue!"

"Um."

I nodded. "Thanks to Old Yu's cyan main-hand sword, otherwise this reward might not have been mine."

With that, he returned the Nebula Blade and said with a smile, "Thanks!"

"We're brothers, no need to be so polite!" Worldly Uncontested naturally leads to politeness.

So I returned to my squad's position and continued fighting.

It was late at night, around 10 p. m.

A Senior Dragon Guard led a group to relieve us of our position, allowing us to rest in the base inside the Great Wall. We finally got some rest time, ate a meal at the base, and then each of us was assigned a bed.

Lying in bed, none of us could fall asleep.

"The people in the country are in a state of panic, with news of the northern campaign spreading everywhere."

The fat man said, "Some people are even planning to flee to the Star Maple Federation to avoid the storm, fearing that the Crimson Dragon Country will be swept aside by the demon realm's forces. Damn it, I really don't know what to say."

"Yes..."

Telling a Story: "Several of my friends in Huaining City said they were very worried about the war in the north. The news channels are now filled with news about the northern campaign."

I sighed and said nothing.

Just then, a "beep" sounded—a WeChat message from Lu Xiaobei: "Milo said quite a few players died on the northern front. Ding Han, are you alright...?"

"I'm fine, don't worry."

After thinking about it, I finally gave Lu Xiaobei a simple reply, but then I remembered that there might be someone else worried about me, so I sent Lin Qingying a message: "Xiaoying, have you gone home from work yet?"

"I'm home."

"Then go to sleep early. Everything's going well on my end."

"Um!"

Lin Qingying sent a nodding emoji, and the two quickly ended the conversation.

"We don't know when the next wave of attacks from the demons will begin, so everyone should get some sleep and recharge."

I lay down on my pillow and said, "We can't change what's happening in the country. All we can do is fight this battle well and keep the demons North of the Great Wall."

"Yes, Ding Han is right, go to sleep."

Zhang Ruolin pulled the blanket over herself and turned off the dormitory light.

In the darkness, one could only faintly sense the sounds of bombing from the outside world, but having been exposed to these sounds all day, one had long since grown accustomed to them, and soon fell asleep after closing one's eyes.

He slept soundly until the alarm lights in the room suddenly went off, followed by a message from Gun Like a Dragon: "Ding Han, a new wave of the demon army is coming! Quickly take your men to the battlefield!"

"They're here!"

I immediately stood up, switched to Combat Form, and, holding the Conqueror in my arms, said in a deep voice, "Let's go, let's go, let's go up!"

A group of people took the elevator to the top of the Great Wall's steel fortress, where they saw a vast expanse of purple to the north. In the distance, they could see figures floating about two meters off the ground, their clothes tattered and their hair disheveled!

A humanoid demon, Wailing Nun!

"Holy crap..."

The fat man frowned and asked, "What is this thing?"

"Let's take a look first!"

I quickly set up my gun and aimed, locking onto one of the Wailing Nun through the scope. Soon after, her stats appeared, and I immediately shared the illustration in the Team Channel.

[Wailing Nun] (Purple BOSS)

Level: 58

Attack: 2200-3050

Defense: 1200

Qi and Blood: 500,000

Grade: Demonic Aura - Level III

Evolutionary form: None

Skills: [High-Frequency Sonic Attack Lv8] [Blazing Demonic Flames Lv8]

Details: The Wailing Nun, a resentful woman from the demon realm, is known for her loud voice and heavy resentment!

The next second, a group of Wailing Nun at the foot of the mountain ahead of us all looked up and suddenly trembled about 200 meters away. Then they let out a deafening scream, which immediately formed sonic waves that rushed towards the city wall!

"Shuashuashua--"

The sonic shockwave swept across like a whirlwind, instantly causing the players on the city walls to lose health bars at lightning speed!

"3093!"

"3127!"

"3098!"

"3128!"

The damage is decent, mostly in the 3000+ range. Super Weapon Master and Firepower Specialist have relatively high health bars, so they can usually survive with items like First Aid Kit. Psionicist and Star Speaker have shield skills like Starfall Bodyguard, which can also mitigate most of the damage, preventing them from being killed in one round.

But the sonic attack was indeed unbearable, leaving a buzzing sound in one's head.

"Grass..."

The fat man stood there dumbfounded, blood streaming from all seven orifices.

"Holy crap..."

Cai Cai was startled and said, "Why do you look like you've been roared at by Leopard Head Lei Bao's lion roar?"

"Damn it, you're joking? That fucking hurts!"

Without hesitation, the fat man used a First Aid Kit.

I quickly activated the Stardust Wall and said in a deep voice, "The Wailing Nun is a ranged attacker, so it seems she can't fight in melee. Let's just use firearms!"

With that, the conquerors opened fire!

In about five seconds, the magazine was emptied, and the health bar of the Wailing Nun I was aiming at dropped directly from 500,000 to 220,000. The Conqueror's damage is so satisfying against such squishy targets!

Quickly switch magazines, take him out with a single shot, then swiftly aim at the next target!

Next, it was my shooting time. Without saying a word, I simply kept switching magazines and blowing the heads of the Wailing Nun off one by one!

The two sides were 200 meters apart, which is the "king distance" for Assault Rifle. With my max-level Shooting Master level, I can basically maintain a 100% Headshot hit rate. As for the Assault Rifle's high recoil, that's a minor issue. With a terrifying 1180 points of strength, controlling the recoil is no problem at all!

Nearby, Cai Cai, Fatty, Ruolin, and others also started shooting. However, they didn't have good Assault Rifle, so it was a bit awkward. Submachine Gun and Explosive Gun couldn't hit targets 200 meters away, and RPGs consumed too much energy. So they could only rely on sniper rifles to deal damage. Meanwhile, most of the players on the city wall had switched to sniper rifles and were sniping distant targets one shot after another.

"Rapid-fire cannon, aim!"

In the distance, a Senior Dragon Guard, wielding Power Sword, shouted an order. Instantly, the rapid-fire cannons on the city wall opened fire. Fiery red shells flew past, turning the Wailing Nun more than 200 meters away into a pool of blood. The scene was too beautiful to bear. When demons meet technology, the sparks that fly are truly bizarre.

The battle continued, with a considerable number of Wailing Nun constantly launching sonic shocks at the city walls. Although the players suffered relatively few losses, the Crimson Dragon Country soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Many sentries Great Wall Watch died instantly, bleeding from their mouths and noses, unable to withstand the terrifying shockwave damage!

Approximately two hours later.

All the Wailing Nun outside the city were killed, leaving only piles of bones and blood on the ground. Meanwhile, my Dimensional Storage Space was already filled with Purple Treasure Chest!

Unboxing!

A constant "whoosh" sound filled my ears as I opened a bunch of chests, mostly for Experience Points and reputation. The reputation was alright, but the Experience Points were a complete waste. Fortunately, I also got some purple equipment and Expansion Crystal. After opening all the chests, my storage space expanded by another 5.2 cubic meters, reaching 57.8 cubic meters. Awesome!

"Ding Han."

Ruolin turned to me and said, "Take a look at the Points."

"Oh?"

I opened the mission interface and entered the Points. I was immediately taken aback. It was probably because the Conqueror was too powerful. Yesterday I was hovering in third place, but after finishing the Wailing Nun, I had already taken Points lead in the player leaderboard!

1. Shadow Chaser Level: 50 Class: Sword-wielding Super Weapon Points: 299824

2. Three Cups to the Great Way Level: 50 Profession: Firepower Specialist Points: 265583

3. Boss Bai, Level: 50, Class: Sword, Super Weapon Points: 259844

4. When to Go to Guanghan Level: 50 Occupation: Firepower Specialist Points: 255385

5. Half-Child Who Conquers Heaven Level: 50 Profession: Firepower Specialist Points: 253729

6. North of the Old City Level: 50 Occupation: Firepower Specialist Points: 249884

7. Worldly Uncontested Level: 50 Class: Swordsman Super Weapon Points: 224882

8. Wu Yu Yu Yu Level: 50 Occupation: Star Speaker Points: 220083

9. Qianli Qingqiu Level: 50 Class: Shadow Assassin Points: 214224

10. I'm Bad But Can Talk Trash. Level: 50. Occupation: Firepower Specialist. Points: 211223

This National Server ranking is terrifying!

With my max-level Shooting Master, full blue gear, and blue Conqueror, I'm currently only leading the Points by a narrow margin, and there are many strangers on the list.

The National Server is so vast, and there are so many heroes. Even Cai Cai, who is known as the number one Firepower Specialist in Huaining City, is only ranked tenth!

As for the rest of the team, Fatty ranked 35th thanks to his equipment advantage, Ruolin ranked 71st, Kou Mei, Huo Bingzhi Ri, Fey Courtier, and others were all ranked outside the top 100.

The competition is fierce!

However, there is also a familiar face in the top ten of the Points that we haven't seen for a long time, namely Wu Yu Yu Yu. It seems that she has done well in BH City after returning to the National Server camp. It is really not easy for her to break into the top ten as a Star Speaker.

I don't usually chat with Wu Yu Yu Yu. Neither of us is very proactive, but whenever I post something on my Moments, she always likes it, and I'll like Moments too. It seems like this is the tacit understanding between us as friends.

Take a deep breath and keep going!

This SSS-rank quest is the ultimate quest of version 2.0, so the rewards should be quite generous. If they can maintain their first place, I reckon the final reward might be Pink Equipment from the next stage!

Pink-grade equipment, also known as Relic-grade Equipment, ranks S7 in the Equipment System of <Star Abyss>, and is undoubtedly the goal pursued by players in the early to mid-game!

The demonic attack slowed down, and all players rested on the spot.

"Let's have breakfast."

At my command, I immediately took out a bowl of steaming hot Hulatang, a basket of steamed buns, and a dozen or so fried dough sticks from my storage space, placed them directly on the south-facing wall, and began to devour them in a flash.

Ruolin, Cai Cai, and the others also came over, each taking out their own delicious food. Huo Bingzhi Ri was the most extravagant, actually taking out a Beggars Chicken. He tapped and banged it on the city wall to remove the mud before starting to feast on it.

"Bingzi, I'm not trying to be mean, but eating such oily food for breakfast can easily lead to gastrointestinal problems!" Cai Cai said.

"Isn't the fried dough stick that the boss eats the same?" Bingzi retorted.

"Damn, how can that be the same?"

Cai Cai wanted to jump up and slap him. "Boss has a passive ability that Intestinal Fortification, what do you have?"

"Damn it..."

Huo Bingzhi Ri felt he couldn't win the argument, so he wisely took out a second Beggars Chicken and handed it to Cai Cai.

After eating and drinking my fill, I plopped down on the inner wall, took out my phone and scrolled through it for a while. The internet was flooded with photos of the battlefield.

Given the prevailing public opinion in China, it's no wonder Lu Xiaobei was so worried about my safety on the Northern Frontier battlefield.

"Call..."

I took a deep breath, opened my Moments, typed "I'm here!", and added a Confident Face emoji at the end.

To the entire social network of the Crimson Dragon Country, my Moments nothing more than a drop in the ocean, but to those who care about my safety, it brings them peace of mind.

In less than five seconds, the first person to like the post appeared, and it was Lin Qingying.

I suspect she's been keeping an eye on my situation, otherwise she wouldn't have liked the post so quickly. Besides, she's not usually the type to stare at her phone; sometimes she just leaves it with her assistant.

Less than half a minute later, the second person to like the post appeared; it was Lu Xiaobei.

Then came the third person, Cheng Shuang.

Then came Chen Dongqing, Ding Ying, Second Aunt, Old Ding, Liu Yan, and others.

There weren't many comments, only Zhao Yihang asked naively, "Brother, where are you?"
