"Thunder God's Whip" and "In and Out"

Inside the dilapidated Xenogeneic Factory.

A yellow UFO was leisurely swaying along.

Wherever Huang Ji went.

A place where artillery fire roars.

Roger's relentless advance.

The surrounding monsters of this dilapidated factory built around the Meteor Belt have been completely cleared away.

It's a pity.

The types of monsters in this place are quite diverse.

However, the attributes provided are not satisfactory.

Roger glanced at the records casually.

My heart was filled with mixed feelings.

It's hard to explain in a few words.

For example, this.

"Log: You destroyed a vibrating assembly machine."

"Your adult costume skills have improved slightly."

"Dice of Destiny: Sin Mark Refreshed"

"Your construct's restart speed has been slightly improved."

Roger couldn't help but want to complain when he saw this.

What the heck is an adult costume?!

Is it a type of Heterogeneous Construct?

The Cowas People or Messenary are really something else! As for that last attribute...

Roger considered it for a moment and then gave up.

As it stands now.

He most likely won't turn himself into a half-machine, half-human monster.

Compared to the visible limits of machinery.

The pure physical body of Martial Artist or Qi Refiner is far more precious!...

For example, this one.

"Log: You destroyed a Kato-style robotic arm."

"Your arm length has increased slightly."

"Your delivery skills have improved slightly."

These are two more attributes that are hard to describe.

"Arm length".

Roger admitted that he had a fleeting moment of attraction.

But think about it carefully.

If it were an arm that could extend and retract freely, that would be fine.

If that doesn't work.

So the benefits of turning yourself into a gibbon are also very limited.

As for the second one...

He didn't even want to look at it!

Although he also has the expertise of "Birth Baptism".

But Roger wasn't very interested in developing a one-stop service for newborn delivery and baptism.

And this too.

"Log: You destroyed a movie-watching robot."

"Your ability to fill in the blanks has slightly improved."

"Your labor has progressed slightly faster."

Roger simply couldn't understand how a movie-watching robot could be associated with "imagination" and "childbirth"! It just goes to show how arbitrarily the attributes given by the Sin Mark were assigned.

Whether we are destined to be together.

It all depends on fate.

We've overcome all obstacles along the way.

He has killed more than 20 kinds of monsters, big and small.

The signs recorded in the feedback were very clear.

This "Xenogeneic Factory" is probably not meant for him.

Fortunately, Roger wasn't there for that reason.

After taking down a bizarre "coffee robot".

Roger merely glanced at the ridiculous attributes.

Then he piloted the Little Huang plane to the "Starship Drop Pod".

Within sight.

Once the two sides touch.

A prompt then pops up.

"Open the Starship Drop Pod?"

"You have gained Level 3 Shield."

"Level 3 Shield: Can be used in the Space Shipyard to enhance starship shields. After enhancement, your total shield value will increase by 10 points."

You have acquired 2 frigates.

"Frigid: After being bound to the main ship, the frigate will always maintain a distance of one tile from the main ship and automatically fire Assault Machine Cannon at enemy targets in all directions (training version)."

"You have obtained 5 Warp Orb"

"Warp Orb: Each time you use Warp Orb, you and your troops can teleport to a location no more than 300 blocks outside your field of vision;

Note: Jumping involves risks; please use with caution.

It is best used when the coordinates of the target location and other information are available.

"You have obtained one electromagnetic interference coil."

"Electromagnetic Interference Coil: Can be used in the Space Shipyard to enhance starship weapons. When a starship with this weapon installed has enemies within a 30-tile radius unable to use their 'ultimate attack'."

In a short time.

Roger was dazzled by the wide array of items.

The stuff in the Starship Drop Pod is ridiculously good! After getting these things...

Roger was even more confident in sweeping away the Black Blood Soldier.

The premise is...

He needed to find a Space Shipyard! The place he had visited before had been eroded by Space Storm.

He needs to find a new shipyard!

"But we still need to be careful."

"With so many people in the Black Blood Soldier, there might be a few who will be airdropped right in our faces, or there might be some genius players who can pick things up very quickly. We can't be too careless."

Roger was thinking just that.

A new notification suddenly appeared on the data panel.

"Weather Satellite alert: A second Space Storm is approaching. UFOs not currently in the safe zone are advised to seek shelter in a safe area as soon as possible..."

Roger glanced at it.

My luck wasn't great.

The Xenogeneic Factory is outside the range of the second round of shrinking.

He needs to go to the area in the lower left corner or directly below within the next hour.

Judging from the starship's flight speed.

Even if it means rushing at full speed.

It will also take him half an hour to reach the safe zone.

"We can't delay any longer."

Roger decided to immediately evacuate the Xenogeneic Factory, which was not meant for him.

Not long after.

In the field of vision.

The Little Huang machine began to turn.

We bypassed a backdrop of city ruins.

Suddenly, a brand new factory area appeared ahead.

The perimeter of the factory area.

A large number of brightly colored UFOs are clustered together and firing at each other!

"It's the Black Blood Soldier!"

Roger quickly took a look.

There are at least six teams near the factory area.

There may be more inside.

"So many people?"

"Could there be Starship Drop Pod inside?"

Roger hesitated for a moment.

The decision was still made to retreat.

He wasn't without the confidence to annihilate all of them.

I just didn't want to risk getting caught up in the Space Storm and getting entangled with them any further.

So the Little Huang plane gracefully circled halfway around.

We're going to take a detour.

When we were halfway around...

Suddenly, a series of adorable little robots appeared in Roger's field of vision! These robots were emerging one after another from the depths of the factory area.

They each took root at the nodes of the city ruins.

Seeing this scene.

The Little Huang machine decisively turned 180 degrees again.

They've returned to the battlefield!

"What's Space Storm!"

"There's still an hour left..."

"There's no reason not to kill someone who's just passing by!"

Roger fired the shot through gritted teeth.

On the data panel.

"Hint: You have discovered Alarm Robot (massive number)"

"You destroyed an Alarm Robot."

"Your success rate in drawing Extermination Order has been slightly increased."

"You shot down an unidentified flying unit."

"You have obtained 2 Constitution Shard"

Under those lines of exciting data prompts.

Roger was already in a killing frenzy.

He directly attached the two "frigates" to the Little Huang machine.

Then they launched a fierce charge towards the area with the highest enemy concentration!...

"Notification: You have used your ultimate ability (summoning a swarm of bombers)."

Whoosh! A line of starship bombers flew past from a higher dimension.

Nearly 200 Little Rascal bombs were dropped.

They blew up the entire Xenogeneic Factory!

Just a few minutes later.

The Alarm Robot around the factory had all been shut down.

However, it is still quite a distance from being a perfect Sin Mark.

"I want more!"

The countdown was getting closer and closer.

Roger took a deep breath.

They launched an attack directly at the core area of Xenogeneic Factory.

There.

It is also the location of Enlek, the boss of the Xenogeneic Factory!

Rest area.

In a spacious square.

One figure after another appeared here.

The number of survivors displayed in the upper right corner of the square screen is also decreasing rapidly.

In this strange Two-Dimensional World.

No one could have imagined that there would be such a space, no different from the Real World, used to house those eliminated before the competition ended.

Aside from the initial confusion and surprise.

The murmurs among the crowd continued, "Have you heard?"

"At the ' Xenogeneic Factory,' a member of the Black Curse Corps has gone on a killing spree!"

"That guy kills anyone he sees, and he doesn't even hesitate when he sees monsters. His cannon is really powerful!"

"It looks like someone from the Black Curse Corps. See that number on the screen? It's 648..."

Where are his teammates?

"I don't know, maybe they were killed by someone else. I also don't know who dared to provoke their team..."

It's still in the corner.

Both Othello and Johnny blushed when they met.

But soon.

The two leaders then returned to their normal expressions.

Neither of them asked a question that showed a lack of emotional intelligence, such as, "How come you were eliminated so quickly?"

Instead, after a knowing smile, they briefly exchanged tips on how to operate the equipment.

Compared to the fuss that others made.

Those in positions of power naturally wouldn't care too much about the outstanding performance of a particular soldier.

Anyway.

No matter what we do.

In the end, the champion will always be one of their own.

What they need to think about is what to do after obtaining the permission to enable Free Mode! After all, this Two-Dimensional World is very different from the three-dimensional world they are familiar with.

The operation of UFOs was completely unfamiliar to them!

despite this.

Both of them still had expressions of absolute confidence.

As of now.

The development of events was in line with their expectations.

About the "Moon Simulator".

That's what they've always thought—

Rather than spending exorbitant costs training soldiers to adapt to the rules of Two-Dimensional World.

Why not just start practicing in actual combat! As long as there are enough Black Blood Soldier soldiers.

There will always be genius players like the one who "went on a killing spree" that everyone just mentioned.

Looking at it now...

Just as I expected.

Try to win them over after the competition ends.

Then you can entrust him with important tasks.

"Now, we should think about what happens after we reach the moon..."

"Sword Saint Othello said in a deep voice."

Johnny nodded happily:

"That's exactly what I was thinking too."

The two hit it off immediately.

They began to speak freely.

And right at this moment.

In another corner of the square.

A member of the Black Curse Corps stared blankly at the number tag on his chest.

He looked up at the red number displayed on the screen, which was currently wreaking havoc.

He couldn't help but fall into self-doubt. "Could it be..."

"I'm not actually number 648?"

49 minutes later.

With the collapse of the last Alarm Robot Warehouse.

All the red in Roger's field of vision had faded.

He was left alone, his eyes bloodshot with rage.

On the data panel.

A comforting message quietly appeared.

"You have killed 1 Alarm Robot, bringing your total number of killed Alarm Robot to 3344. Your milestone 'Robot Assassin ' has set a new record."

"Your success rate for drawing Extermination Order has been increased to 95% (it cannot be increased further)."

"You have completed the 30th Sin Mark and gained a new feat: The Lie Group"

"The Lie Group: You can select 2-10 companions or subordinates, giving them 80-20% of your 'bluffing' ability;..."

When you choose 2 companions and grant them the ability to deceive.

You will trigger the additional effect ' Three Men Make a Tiger '.

The Three Men Make a Tiger " means that if all three of you lie at the same time, the listener will immediately trust you 100%.

When you choose 10 companions and grant them the ability to deceive.

You will trigger the additional effect ' Many Mouths Turn Metal to Gold '.

"Many Mouths Turn Metal to Gold: If all 11 of you lie at the same time, and no one is caught lying on the spot, then the others who hear about it will 100% believe your statements."

"That's interesting..."

Roger pondered for a while.

I discovered that this newly acquired skill actually had many hidden secrets.

"Can the Three Men Make a Tiger' be used to describe a crime committed in person?"

"Just thinking about it is exciting. I wonder if it's possible to 'call a deer a horse'?"

"The power of Many Mouths Turn Metal to Gold seems quite suitable for medium- to long-term operations..."

"It can only be 'companion' or 'subordinate'? They deliberately avoided the servant option because they wouldn't be trusted by others if they were servants? No, that doesn't make sense..."

He studied it with great interest.

This specialty seems to have little practical use in actual combat.

But for someone like Roger, whose heart is dirty, this is just too interesting!

He was no longer a lone liar.

You could lead a team of liars to debut!

After the initial excitement.

Roger had already begun looking for a suitable candidate in his mind.

As for the Extermination Order has a 95% success rate.

On the contrary, there aren't that many intricacies involved.

Roger was quite satisfied with this number.

After all, in the statistics of my previous life.

Anything below 5% can be considered a low-probability event.

95% and 100% aren't that different! It's amazing to think that I've completely escaped the shadow of Mystic.

Roger was in a good mood and wanted to whistle.

It's a pity.

A dozen minutes ago, he killed the lord of the Xenogeneic Factory, "Repairman Enlek".

This mark is not yet complete.

Roger was indeed unable to extract anything.

This left him with a slight sense of regret.

Fortunately, what Enlek gave us was pretty good.

Besides providing role-playing chips, just like Buster did.

They also gave me two other nice things!

The first item.

It was none other than the Cowas People's ultimate weapon, the very weapon Roger had been longing for!...

"Retired Titan (Super-large Mech)"

"Shield/Health: 14/8"

"Standard Weapon 1 - Thunder God's Whip: Fires a devastating ring of lightning in all directions, with an effective radius of 60 squares, dealing 5 times the damage of Starship Machine Cannon."

"Standard Firepower 2 - Star-Slaying Sword: Titan wields a 12-segment lightsaber, dashes in a fixed direction and launches an attack."

It can charge forward a maximum of 3 times in a row.

Each dash can move 6 squares.

"Ultimate Ability - Meteor Wave: Titan pulls nearby meteor craters to kill all enemy targets within its field of vision, with damage equivalent to half that of Space Storm."

Movement Speed: 6.5

Limited Edition: Titan Pilot's License

Although it is a "retired version + 2D version".

But this Titan still demonstrated its dominance at the top of the Starship food chain.

Both basic values.

It's still about destructive power.

None of them are the Little Huang vehicles Roger can currently use to stage accidents!

Replace it with someone else.

Even if you obtain this Titan.

However, it is also unable to drive.

After all, you need an additional license to pilot a Titan.

But Roger was an exception!

Because he possessed a specialty from the time of Drovas's adventures—

"Titan Pilot"

This specialization granted Roger the ability to pilot Titans even in Two-Dimensional World!

So, the first thing after obtaining this powerful weapon was...

Roger switched his main ship from the Little Huang machine to the Titan in a nearby dock.

And they bound the "Level 3 Shield", "Warp Orb" and "Electromagnetic Coil" all to this colossal humanoid mech!

And Titans did not disappoint Roger.

The endless "Thunder God's Whip," ignoring buildings and terrain, turned this shooting competition into a hula hoop game.

Often, the Titans haven't even arrived yet.

That terrifying area-of-effect (AOE) ability had already cleared the field for him! It was precisely because of Titan's powerful destructive force that...

Roger was thus able to complete the Sin Mark ahead of schedule.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to farm enough Alarm Robot before the safe zone shrank!

Apart from "the old Titans".

The other item Roger received from Enlek was equally valuable.

It was an unremarkable scroll.

"High-Dimensional Appraisal Scroll: You can designate an item, prop, or building and bring it out of the Two-Dimensional World."

After leaving the Two-Dimensional World.

The specified unit will be automatically converted to 3D.

This is the item Roger desperately wanted back in the Silent Forest! Its only drawback is that there's only one! That's far too few.

Roger wanted to take many, many things with him! Just the Moon Simulator alone.

There are the Little Huang Machine and the Titan.

What's more, his Tinder Pouch still contains a bunch of treasures like the "corpse of Ancient Godspawn," all waiting in line to be rendered in three dimensions!...

"But..."

"Since the boss of the Xenogeneic Factory can give out High-Dimensional Appraisal Scroll, then the leaders of other mysterious forces might also have similar collections, well, except for Buster..."

"If I act quickly, I might still have a chance to plunder other mysterious forces!"

Roger was thinking just that.

Weather warnings above our sight are becoming increasingly frequent.

Data shows.

Space Storm is about to sweep across the area in 10 minutes.

According to conventional methods.

He'll have a hard time escaping the storm! Fortunately...

Roger also has a "Warp Orb"! After locking onto the coordinates of a safe zone.

He decisively initiated the leap!

With a whoosh, the perspective shifted rapidly.

In the blink of an eye.

Roger jumped from the "Xenogeneic Factory" in the upper right corner to the "Meteor Belt" near the center! He was lucky.

This leap went smoothly.

Within sight.

Titan landed.

This attracted the attention of a large number of UFOs nearby! Before Roger arrived.

They are firing at each other in a struggle for control of the Meteor Belt.

And then Roger arrived.

They finally ushered in the long-awaited peace—

Um.

Of course, it's in the lounge.

Before those layers of simple, brutal, yet excessively powerful "Thunder God's Whip".

No one, not even a machine, could withstand a single whip.

Not to mention Titan's ultimate ability, "Meteor Wave"!

that's all.

Roger carried out the killing mode from beginning to end!

More and more Black Blood Soldier soldiers appeared in the lounge.

More and more attention was drawn to the area on the big screen where the killing was taking place.

Gradually.

The atmosphere in the lounge became a little strange.

Suddenly.

A gasp came from the corner. "Something's wrong..."

"I'm number 648!"

"That person is suspicious!"

It's a pity.

Whether the exclamation came early or late was no longer important.

Because of this battlefield.

No one can withstand the power of the Titans!

Six hours later.

Roger then pulled out and shot down the last UFO hiding in the "Space Shipyard".

The entire Black Blood Soldier was wiped out!

Roger successfully won the Legion Mode championship.

And in this process.

He also gained a large number of attribute fragments.

According to preliminary statistics.

More than 12,000 UFOs died at the hands of the Titans.

This accounts for 70% of the Black Blood Soldier's members who entered the Two-Dimensional World this time!

On the data panel.

Current accumulated attribute fragment status —

1. Constitution Shard * 14009...

2. Talent Shards * 9163...

3. Empathy Shard * 6324

This number means that Roger now has 14 free Attribute Points to allocate to 'Strength', 'Constitution', and ' Root Bone '.

The available 'Intelligence', 'Soul Quality', and 'Comprehension' are 9 points each.

'Agility', 'Perception', and 'Charisma' only have 6 points.

This is probably because there are relatively few "Revivers" in the Black Blood Soldier.

These free points seem like a lot.

In the past, he would probably have been overjoyed.

However, this was not enough for Roger, who intended to become Nonagon Warrior before his promotion.

Take the seemingly most abundant "Constitution Shard" as an example.

Because the power has been upgraded.

Therefore, he only needs to consider physical constitution and Root Bone.

Roger's physique is already extraordinary.

There is still a 15-point gap before it can be upgraded.

And those with even worse Root Bone are even more numerous.

This hidden attribute is not yet available.

But Roger estimated it would be at most 6 PM.

There are still 17 points to go before it can be upgraded.

This adds up to a gap of 32 points!

A score of 14 in physical fitness only represents a barely half-achievement of the goal.

Even the most physically robust person is like this.

The already limited "sympathy" and "talent" were even more insufficient.

Roger did the math.

The gap in sympathetic connection is 43 points.

The talent gap is 40 points.

certainly.

He still has 4 free Attribute Points available.

It is estimated that there will be 10 more after the Ascension Mission is completed.

Overall, the gap isn't that dramatic.

We just need the Black Blood Soldier to cooperate more...

But Roger still couldn't resist eyeing the "Naughty Sprite" in the Beginner Campaign Shop.

He already has enough Honor Points.

You can redeem it at any time.

That's why we didn't do that.

It was Griffith's mention of the unknown calamity that alerted Roger.

What if that mischievous brat really gets him into big trouble?

He could have escaped on his own.

But Qin and the rest of the Elite Squad are in danger.

So Roger played it safe for the time being.

He decided to summon the Mischievous Spirit only when he officially took action against the Black Blood Soldier.

To ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"Hint: Black Curse Group 648 has won the championship."

"You have gained access to Free Mode!"

"You have earned the Space Warrior's Medal"

"Space Warrior's Medal: With this, you can enter any part of the star system near the Nine Great Planets."

"You have received the Champion's Bonus Reward: 3 Low-Dimensional Containment Scroll"

"Low-Dimensional Containment Scroll: You can designate an item, prop, or building that does not belong to Two-Dimensional World, convert it to two-dimensional form, and bring it into the corresponding world."

The champion's reward was mostly as Roger had anticipated.

Only the three Low-Dimensional Containment Scroll caught his eye.

This means that even if you encounter someone you can't beat in the Two-Dimensional World in the future.

Roger can now summon reinforcements from the Prime Material Plane! In short...

This Legion Mode was worthwhile.

The only thing Roger regretted was...

The subsequent killings were too swift.

There was no chance to encounter other boss monsters.

When exiting Legion Mode.

He can only choose to take one of the Little Huang machine or the Titan with him! To be honest.

Roger had developed a strong attachment to the Little Huang machine.

After all, it was the one that accompanied me through my earliest years...

As is widely known.

The beginning is always the best.

So he chose Titan with tears in his eyes.

"Notification: The Retired Titan has been placed in your Demiplane."

"Should we skip the rest area and withdraw from this training session?"

"You have left the Two-Dimensional World (Moon Simulator)..."

Between shifts in perspective.

Roger had already returned to the arcade seat in front of the Escape Pod.

He didn't have time to watch the Black Blood Soldier make a fool of themselves right now!

After sending two wolf cubs to monitor the unusual activity in the Skiff District.

Roger then quietly left the Escape Pod.

They swam towards the direction of the ambergris!

His Sixth Sense told him.

This pillar-level item is about to take shape!

"After obtaining A'Bao's heart and the ambergris, we will have all the items needed for the Heaven Path Ascension of the Slaughter Authority Rank!"

"There's no rush to fill the Hot Weapon Authority Rank..."

"The Qi Eating Method's smelting speed is very fast; the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle is only a little bit away from being completed..."

Roger thought to himself.

They swam up to the vicinity of the large Bubbles.

Suddenly.

A strong throbbing surged within him.

Roger instinctively looked around.

No hostile targets were found! But his body surface...

But then came waves of intense pain!...

"Warning: You are under attack by the ' Grease Monster Leader ' Eudora..."

"What the hell?"

"Invisibility? That shouldn't be possible..."

In a hurry.

Roger changed positions several times in succession.

But that unparalleled sense of oppression followed me everywhere.

In an instant.

He seemed to understand something.

It was at this time that...

That sweet, coquettish voice rang in Roger's ears again:

"Good brother!"

"In and Out of someone's body so many times..."

"Why do you still act like you know nothing about it?"

"Observation: You realize you are inside the body of the Grease Monster Eudora..."

"Sixth Sense: Eudora is trying to assimilate you into her..."

"You've reached a new milestone: all about me and the Grease Monster Leader In and Out."

"Are you writing toilet paper here?!"

Seeing that Milestone System, which is as frustrating as ever.

Roger was immediately furious.

It's almost the end of the month, don't forget to vote with your monthly passes if you have any...
