Sudden Attack / Reference

"Player?"

Just as Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 had guessed, the group of guys were quite surprised when they saw the mission.

But just a few seconds later, Gao Cen said in a serious tone, "This player, is he one of those I've heard of before?"

The group immediately looked over.

Gao Cen explained, "Before I came across the Dusk quest, I once stumbled upon a discussion about players online. Someone claimed that there was an unknown force that would pull so-called players to different worlds to fight and gain power. This process was extremely brutal, and few could survive. Shortly after I saw this post, the content was banned by the official team."

Li Yuan: "..."

"So our opponents might be the players you mentioned?" He Jinwei shrank her neck. "That's kind of scary. Our Dusk mission seems pretty dangerous too."

"No, it should be different." This time, it was the Cannon Fodder No. 6 who took the initiative to interrupt. "The Water of Purification provided by Dusk is something that players cannot obtain. Furthermore, our missions are basically matched with our respective strengths, and under normal circumstances, there will be no situation where the whole team is wiped out. On the other hand, the probability of the players being wiped out is outrageously high."

Upon hearing the short-haired girl say this, everyone looked over in disbelief.

"Is this true?" Li Yuan asked. "How do you know this?"

"I'm a Level 2 member who has completed numerous missions, you guys are still Level 3." She gave a confident smile. "Back then, we went through a mission against players, but there was no conflict between us."

"I see."

Taking action against the player rashly is a dangerous thing. Although the mission was issued, Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 still made a threat, saying that the player was in danger.

"The reward is very tempting, everyone should look for opportunities," Li Yuan said solemnly.

Everyone tried their best to avoid these dangers and secretly made preparations.

Meanwhile, Miss Cannon 6 was observing the players' battles throughout.

They paid a price but successfully dealt with the bandits.

At that moment, the players' expressions changed; they saw a quest.

Main Quest: Unknown Enemy.

[Objective: The players' hostile forces have descended upon this world; they are a threat. Eliminate them.]

[Limited time offer: 12 hours.]

[Reward: 400 Exchange Points, 50 Life Energy.]

[Warning: The target is not a local resident and cannot be displayed on the map.]

Although I don't want to admit it, the rewards from the dungeon system are definitely more than what Ye Qian gives.

However, their missions naturally come with corresponding dangers. At the very least, the potions these people can obtain are extremely expensive and require them to consume Exchange Points all at once before the mission begins; they cannot be used at other times.

Therefore, a high mortality rate is inevitable.

But Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 didn't expect that the system would issue a mission specifically targeting her.

"It seems it sensed my presence."

There's nothing more to say; this battle was simply unavoidable.

At this moment, all the players looked extremely nervous.

This is the first time I've encountered this situation.

"The players' enemies? Could we possibly have powerful enemies while carrying out missions in this world?" A middle-aged woman was on the verge of tears.

"Judging from the description, could it be something like us, capable of traversing worlds?" The black-haired young man frowned deeply.

"Let's try to resolve this no matter what. There's no map display, everyone be careful."

The players began their preparations.

Normally, the Dusk area wouldn't be able to display this information, but Ye Qian's system outside of missions is her own and has nothing to do with the players' systems. The enemy location information she captured using the Mystic Thread, however, can undoubtedly be displayed on the map.

So Miss Cannon 6 promptly marked it.

"Everyone, prepare for battle. I estimate that the enemy is stronger than you, so I can lend you some combat tools."

After patting her pockets, Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 showed off several Explosion Rings.

"What's this?"

"A ring that explodes when mental energy is inputted, with power similar to an offensive grenade. The downside is that it doesn't produce any fragments, but it's still quite powerful."

Chapter 99 Sudden Attack

"That intense?"

"Input mental energy? How do I input that?"

"Imagine." In response to the questions from the group, Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 pointed to her head and smiled. "Mental power can be emitted through consciousness. As long as you imagine a tendril of thought extending out of your mind, touching this ring, and detonating it, then you only need to wait 2 seconds for this thing to explode."

The absence of shrapnel means that there is no need to worry about the user being harmed after it is thrown, but conversely, if the enemy stays a distance away, the power will become extremely limited.

Therefore, in actual use, it is best to be able to throw more accurately.

"I see. Although I've never used a hand grenade before, I've seen one on TV recently." Li Yuan became somewhat expectant. "Are these items also obtained from the exchange area?"

"Yes, once your member levels increase, you may see different items. Mine requires 5 points per item." Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 waved her hand, indicating that everyone should pay.

"Okay, this power is worth 5 points, which is actually quite cheap."

Relying solely on individual skill to kill enemies is far less powerful than using this kind of equipment.

The question is how strong the enemy is. Once the players have completed many missions and acquired various skills or learned certain combat techniques, they will definitely be more than the newcomers on Dusk's side can handle.

[Warning: The enemy has detected our presence. Please prepare accordingly.]

Ye Qian sent a new notification to everyone.

"Oh no, the enemy has discovered us." Guan Meng immediately tensed up.

"Let's find a house to hide in first. The enemy doesn't have any minimap indicators, which means we can launch a surprise attack."

Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 gave away her explosive rings, and after discussing it, the four of them each bought two.

This is equivalent to everyone having a weapon equivalent to 8 hand grenades.

Cannon Fodder Misses herself has more, and she can obtain it from reality at any time through Amia's power.

With many of Ye Qian's bodies idle, she quietly crafted explosive rings, which indirectly enhanced the combat power of her entire body.

"Everyone, get into ambush!"

Once inside the house, the others could see the small red dots appearing at the edge of the map.

"Let's split up. This room is too small; we need to avoid being caught in one fell swoop. We can communicate with each other through prayer. You can pray to Dusk to grant each other communication permissions. I'll create a group chat here."

As she spoke, Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 pretended to put her hands together and recited, "Dragon of End in the Dusk, I pay 1 point to ask you for the power of communication among the five people present."

An air of mystery enveloped those present.

"How about it, can you hear my voice?" The cute voice of Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 appeared in their minds at the same time.

"Oh my god, I heard it! How amazing!" He Jinwei thought excitedly.

"Is this what communication is? Just thinking about it is enough?" Li Yuan asked himself.

Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 nodded. "Yes, everyone, let's spread out and prepare to ambush. When the enemy comes, we'll attack together. I'll set up a few explosive rings outside; maybe we can catch them off guard. Note that the rings need to be bound, otherwise anyone can detonate them. The binding method is just a matter of imagination; you just need to communicate with the ring."

Miss Cannon 6 ran out and hid 6 rings.

Others tried it out and found that it was fairly easy to use.

A few minutes later, everyone was in place and communicated with each other through consciousness, while Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 observed the target members with Mystic Thread.

Among the players, a man nearing 50 years old took out a special piece of paper from his person, drew a pattern resembling a talisman on it, and then silently uttered "Open".

The talisman floated into the air and transformed into an arrow, pointing in the direction where Cannon Fodder No. 6 was located.

"The general direction of the goal has been determined."

"Let's get started."

These people began to move towards the target area.

"The enemy is here. They may have pinpointed our location," Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 immediately reminded everyone.

At this moment, the players were approaching.

These guys were very cautious, carrying different weapons. Judging from their condition, two of them seemed to have redeemed special items, so Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 had to remind everyone to avoid close combat as much as possible.

The two players who were ahead quickly approached the nearby house, and one of the men stepped onto a patch of bright green fallen leaves.

He vaguely sensed something under the leaves, so he moved his legs aside and looked down, where he saw a very broken iron ring.

[Item: Explosion Ring]

[Quality: White]

[Effect: Capable of producing a devastating explosion.]

[Note: Warning, this item's origin is unknown. Please handle with caution.]

Boom boom—

Two deafening explosions rang out in succession, and the man's body was instantly blasted away by the shockwave. His abdomen was torn open like tofu by the terrifying impact, with a large chunk of flesh flying out, and his legs were severely broken.

"Ah!!"

A scream rang out as the man curled up in agony, while the woman behind him was thrown a meter by the shockwave and fell to the ground.

"Superior!"

Almost simultaneously, Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 spoke up.

Li Yuan and He Jinwei, who were closer to the enemy, immediately rushed out from the houses on the left and right sides, triggered the explosive rings in their hands, and threw them out.

"Oh no, back off."

Of the two rings, Li Yuan's was used to finish off the enemy, while He Jinwei threw the one she had to the others behind her.

Boom!! Boom!!

Two explosions occurred in quick succession. The woman lying on the ground screamed and was killed instantly before she could even get up and run away.

The man curled up on the ground was struck again and fell into a deep coma.

[Killed a Level 4 player.]

[45 points earned.]

He Jinwei received a notification.

Although Li Yuan's ring was thrown very accurately, the moment he got close to the target, the other party actually pulled out a talisman from his body and threw it forward, forming a semi-transparent Barrier with some elasticity.

With a clang, the ring flew off in another direction.

Boom--

The explosion made Li Yuan's ears ring. He was thankful that the ring hadn't been thrown at him, otherwise he would have been really in serious trouble.

The player in the distance was clearly shocked. Although he knew he would encounter an opponent, he did not expect the attack to come so suddenly.

Even more outrageous is the terrifying method of attack used; the explosive power is astonishing, and being hit by it is almost certainly fatal.

They now only have two people left.

Chapter 100 Reference

"Withdraw!"

The two surviving players quickly retreated. At this point, no words were needed; they had already realized the danger posed by the enemy.

The middle-aged man using the talisman threw out another new talisman, and a mysterious halo emanated from the patterns on the talisman, freezing the ring thrown by Miss Cannon Fodder No. 6 in mid-air.

With a loud bang, the explosion occurred, and the enemy had already retreated.

"Chase."

Li Yuan's side had no intention of letting the other side off the hook.

He wanted to take advantage of the enemy's current predicament and deliver another thunderous blow.
