The sound waves surged along the coastline, even pushing the waves back. The Japanese Pirates were swept and torn apart by the vortex of sound, letting out cries of agony. The players, who were less affected, kept their mouths shut, lying prone on the ground, looking up at the six enormous figures.

Gundam stands tall on the earth.

Yes, Gundam.

Although they are only about ten meters tall and their outer armor is clearly made of wood, the classic V-shaped antenna design has already identified them.

But something seems off about these six Gundams?

One machine carried a bass, two carried guitars, and one carried a keyboard as if it were carrying a guitar.

If these four are relatively normal, then the remaining two are truly unique.

The Gundam on the left, which clearly has some feminine features, is posing in a one-legged stance, with an enormous guzheng (a traditional Chinese zither) propped up in front of it by its other leg. The other Gundam is even more bizarre; apart from its Gundam head, it looks more like a tentacle monster, with various hammer-shaped Mechanical Arm striking percussion instruments such as drums, bells, and cymbals, making one wonder what the huge drumheads are made of.

The soul-stirring vocals emanated from the high-pitched speaker of the Lead Guitar. While not exactly melodious, the powerful vocals, combined with the singing, created a powerful and unforgettable experience that sent shivers down the spine and made it difficult to suppress the tremors in both body and soul.

These six musical Gundams, forming Death Metal band, create a visually overwhelming effect simply by standing there.

"What the hell is that thing?" This was the thought in the minds of most of the players who were prostrating themselves on the ground, but more were actually pondering a different question—

"Where did you get this? Can you make one for me too?"

Well, for players, it doesn't seem to matter what outrageous equipment appears in the game; the only question is whether they can get one themselves!

The music continued to resonate, and Yun Yao's incongruous guzheng sound seemed particularly eerie within the classic Heavy Metal rock melody. But it was precisely this disharmony that created two distinct vocal parts, like two fists simultaneously striking a target from opposite directions, forming a wonderful combination that made this Death Metal even more worthy of its name.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

As the song reached its climax, a series of crisp, explosive sounds followed, and scenes that were not suitable for children began to appear. Many players who had not enabled the censorship mode felt an urge to vomit on the spot.

The heads of the Japanese Pirates exploded one after another like watermelons, and some players who were nearby were also accidentally affected. After the coastline was completely covered with red and white stuff, the indescribably shocking music finally stopped.

"Hey, actually we don't need to play the piano, we can just stomp these Japanese Pirates to death, right?"

Suddenly, Yun Yao's slightly confused voice came from the speaker of the Guzheng Gundam, followed closely by the sound of Five Kills coming from the cockpit of the Lead Guitar.

"What a joke! Using a Gundam to trample ordinary people? That's so low-class! While playing the piano, all the enemies are dead. Gundam Band, how rock and roll is that!"

"But playing the piano while piloting a Gundam is too difficult. If you're going to pilot a Gundam, then just pilot a Gundam properly. If you're going to play rock music, then just play rock music properly. Why do you have to mix them up? Don't you think your fingers will get tired?" Yun Yao muttered unhappily, while the drummer, Gundam, nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Exactly! My Drum Kit is so ugly! I'd rather have a regular one!"

"But that's you guys. Guitars and basses don't have that many strings." Liao Yunhuai boasted to his Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room after a month's absence, while casually uttering the kind of nonsense a bassist should have, completely ignoring the fact that playing a bass is just as tiring.

"My keyboard is just for show; the sound comes from the built-in action. After all, the craftsman can't make a real keyboard yet... But with this skill, making a piano shouldn't be a problem."

The interaction between the six Gundams was deafening, but the players at their feet felt strangely detached from the game, as if they were playing a completely different game.

"So, that Snail Village really is real? And it's actually the Big Locust Tree Village?"

The quick-thinking players had already realized what was happening and, without even bothering to loot the spoils, immediately ran towards the nearby County Town.

Seeing over a dozen players suddenly run away, the remaining players were bewildered. Those who finally came to their senses hadn't yet realized what had happened. After all, the theory that Big Locust Tree Village was Snail Village wasn't unfounded, but Big Locust Tree Village was nowhere to be found, so what was the point of running away?

Why not follow Gundam!

"Haha, I got it! I got it! A little more, a little more!"

Not far away, Feng Xue, who had just launched six Gundams, stood on the cliff, looking down at the Gundam Rock Band that was performing miracles in front of everyone. In his field of vision, he could clearly see that the [consciousness] that made up the bodies of the six players was undergoing drastic changes.

Seeing that his apprentices seemed eager to show off again and vent their pent-up frustration from the recent period of seclusion, he immediately found a player who wanted to learn his skills and disappeared from the Game World.

Back in reality, Feng Xue didn't rush to fulfill the little player's wish to learn English. Instead, she immediately found an internet cafe, equipped herself with the Phantom Object- level hardware she had created using her powers, and began editing the videos in Liao Yunhuai's Live Broadcast Room using the power of the [Hacker] Tag she found in the Cyberpunk World.

With his superb hand speed and powerful equipment, Short Video were produced at an extremely fast pace, including Gundam Heavy Metal rock single PVs, Gundam rock Meme, daily life in Screw Village, and various vegetarian videos he had accumulated before, which were continuously posted on various social media websites using different accounts.

Of course, there were reasons why the players in Big Locust Tree Village collectively shut up. In summary, it was nothing more than appealing to their emotions, enticing them with benefits, and of course, a little bit of power-shaking.

Okay, Feng Xue admits, the most important thing is actually power and authority.

It has to be said that the [Incomprehensible] power is incredibly powerful. As long as a target is successfully selected, it can be effective over a wide area. After Mei Wenhua's post caused a stir, he used this target to launch the Incomprehensible power, to the point that all two hundred players in the entire Big Locust Tree Village could not understand how the news of "screwing" was spread.

At the same time, he also used the [Hermit] power on the Big Locust Tree Village itself, making the entire village virtually invisible and impossible to find.

In this way, the players had no way to go out, no way to leak information, and no monsters to fight. In addition, with the NPC Feng Xue's promise of Gundam manufacturing qualifications and the monopoly of Gundam profits, they naturally kept quiet.

And now.

With all powers removed, aside from Feng Xue's embellishment, the Closed Beta testers in the Big Locust Tree Village, who had been working on the system, began to frantically vent the revelations they had accumulated over the past few days.

And all these numerous revelations will ultimately form one fact—

Gundam Band is going to be a hit!
