Li Nian's Trump Card and the Robot Killers
"The next wave of challenges? Does that mean all sorts of monsters will keep appearing in this carriage?"
Lin Yu got a little excited after hearing Li Nian's words.
"Not necessarily. According to Old Zhou, it'll probably be three to five rounds," Li Nian said cheerfully. "Then you can go to the other carriages."
"The 'ticket' mentioned in our Clearance Conditions can only be obtained from a relatively powerful monster after leaving this carriage."
After hearing Li Nian's description, Chen Zhuo couldn't help but complain, "This Truth Company is really insane. Why would they design such a train?"
Is this still a means of transportation?
Li Nian shook her head. "I don't know, who knows what those people meant when they designed it?"
"Most of the guys at Truth Company are a bunch of arrogant individuals who treat people like expendable resources and consider themselves Deity on earth."
She gave her comments, and then the car door at the far end opened again.
This time, what appeared was not some invisible entity, but a group of robots whose forms were already visible.
Like the T-1000 in the movie Terminator, their outer shell is completely silver-white with no visible gaps, and red lights flash on their heads.
"Buzz--"
Seven robots, each the size of a normal person, rushed into the carriage, each carrying equally high-tech weapons.
Lin Yu was about to stand up to help Li Nian, but Li Nian spoke up.
"Hey, I'll handle this myself—you just focus on protecting the employer."
"I let you steal the spotlight just now. If I slack off again this time, that fat guy will think I'm not worth it."
Hearing Li Nian's confident words, Lin Yu had no intention of spoiling her mood.
"Really? Don't be stubborn."
He was happy to save his energy and not have to do anything.
Li Nian replied with a smile, "There's nothing to be ashamed of. Just like how you were able to counter the things in the last round, I happen to have a way to counter them in this round!"
After saying that, Li Nian put away the Utility knife and took out a pair of...
Gloves made of a light and thin material, with a white and lustrous color like jade.
Lin Yu watched this scene with great interest, wondering where Li Nian's confidence came from.
After all, judging from her previous performance, this "Master Thief"Miss is not the type who specializes in direct combat.
During my observation in Jiang City last time, in the chaotic battles where several organizations clashed and fought twice, Li Nian didn't seem to have any record of making a move; in fact, she seemed to be actively hiding.
Of course, in a feast of monster Player who are considered exceptionally powerful even at the "Tier 3", it seems understandable that Li Nian, who has just advanced to the "Tier 2", would avoid the battle.
However, in terms of the outcome, after the Jiang City incident, Lin Yu had a certain understanding of most of the Player participated and were involved, but he knew very little about the "Master Thief" A Nian.
Therefore, in this Instance, Li Nian, as an expert who was "invited" and paid to help others clear the Instance...
Lin Yu felt this was a good opportunity to assess her combat strength and understand her abilities.
The humanoid robot at the forefront had already closed in, and it turned sideways, using a seat as cover, and aimed its gun at Li Nian.
The other robots also took their positions.
"Call out!"
The moment they had their guns ready, all seven robots simultaneously pulled the triggers, their technologically advanced rifles firing dazzling white light.
However, these seven swift, intersecting white lights, seemingly unavoidable, did not hit Li Nian —she had vanished from the spot where she had been standing.
Wearing white gloves, Li Nian appeared behind the first robot.
"It's my turn!"
Li Nian's cheerful voice echoed inside the car, and then the first robot instantly lost its ability to move.
It was as if he had been forcibly shut down; he remained in the position of holding a gun, his head, which had been flashing red light, drooped low, and the light disappeared instantly.
"The first one!"
As Li Nian spoke, she leaned back and fell behind the seat.
The remaining robots did not stop advancing because of their fallen comrade; they instantly turned their guns and fired a second volley.
"Crack!"
The seats, which were meant to be used as cover, were shattered and blown apart, revealing the consequences of being hit by those shots.
However, behind the shattered seat, there was no sign of Li Nian; only the first robot remained.
"It's right here!"
Li Nian's voice rang out again, and she suddenly appeared like a gopher next to the other robot's seat.
Then, Li Nian gently brushed her glove across the robot's body, and it immediately "shut down and stopped moving," just like the first robot!
"The second one!"
Li Nian pulled her head back in.
Another volley of shots, but this time...
Still no luck!
This time, she appeared out of nowhere on the luggage rack above a robot's head.
With remarkable flexibility, Li Nian leaned back, lightly touching the robot's head with the surface of her glove, and then...
The third robot stopped moving too!
At the same time, after the luggage rack was shattered by another barrage of beams of light, Li Nian's figure disappeared once again.
"That's truly perfect restraint."
Lin Yu said with emotion.
Moreover, Li Nian is indeed proving that she is "worth the price".
Such a elusive and unpredictable movement, such a nimble and effortless way of dealing with the robot...
This is almost a display of skill.
At least Lin Yu asked himself honestly, although Li Nian might indeed be weaker than the monsters who attacked Jiang City before...
However, this rookie who joined the "Freedom Alliance" is by no means an ordinary person.
Come to think of it, the name "Master Thief" is notorious in almost the entire Player community because Li Nian is keen on pranks and stealing other people's Item and not returning them, so much so that most Player talk about her like mentioning an annoying mosquito.
But she offended so many people, including some Player were more experienced and even more powerful than her.
But this "mosquito" was still not swatted, which shows that she must have some extraordinary abilities.
At this moment, although half of the robots on the field are still putting up a stubborn resistance, Lin Yu can draw a conclusion.
Li Nian is absolutely capable of taking care of them all.
Because what happened next was just a repetition of the scene from before.
Just as Lin Yu had expected, all seven robots entered "shutdown" mode.
Chen Zhuo sat there dumbfounded—visually speaking, Li Nian's move was truly brilliant.
"That's absolutely incredible! He took care of them in the blink of an eye, is that the Flying Thunder God?!"
The answer to them came from beneath their feet.
"The principle is actually quite similar... but this is my trump card, so I won't reveal it easily."
Li Nian crawled out from under the seat and then threw a handful of scarlet beads on the table.
"In short, robots, puppets... I can have as many of these things as I want, they're all free for me!"
