To Harm the Righteous Path, I Had No Choice But to Make Games
Chapter 357: Could he really be a genius?
"Old Zhong, you go ahead. I'll cover you."
Zhou Yue leaned against the wall with unparalleled dominance, his eyes full of confidence.
It was hard to say if he got ambushed or rushed by three people at once, but in a one-on-one, he had absolute confidence.
"Come on, who are you looking down on? That Vyron's helmet is completely shattered; how could I possibly lose?"
Zhong Yi was also full of confidence.
He put his gun back on his back and pulled out the Tiger-Crouching Cannon from his waist.
Every character in "operation xianyuan continent" has a unique Skeletal Structure, specialized Magic Treasures, and Techniques.
These were the equivalent of the passive and active abilities of operators in "delta force".
Taking the Vyron that Zhong Yi was currently using as an example.
His skeletal effect allowed him to channel Spiritual Qi into his joints when falling from a height to reduce fall damage; additionally, for a short period after Spiritual Qi was activated within his body, his physical functions would be slightly enhanced.
His two Magic Treasures were the Spirit-Sucking Bomb and the Tiger-Crouching Cannon.
His exclusive Technique was a dashing wind-style Movement Art.
The Tiger-Crouching Cannon Zhong Yi was using was Vyron's ultimate move, which could compress the body's Spiritual Qi and fire an ultimate shell through the Tiger-Crouching Cannon to knock down targets in an area.
"You said my Tiger-Crouching shots were all over the place... actually, you didn't understand. I was testing."
While stroking the Tiger-Crouching Cannon in his hand, Zhong Yi slowly raised it.
"From the moment the Tiger-Crouching Cannon fires until it explodes... it takes exactly one breath."
"Generally speaking, one breath is enough time for someone ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) to dodge, making it hard to hit."
"However, before exploding, the Tiger-Crouching shell can bounce back and forth between walls..."
As Zhong Yi explained the principle, his gaze became incredibly sharp, causing even Zhou Yue behind him to look sideways in surprise.
A strange thought unconsciously surfaced in Zhou Yue's mind:
'Could it be...'
'Is he really a Genius?'
Using his eyes as a ruler, the trajectory of the Tiger-Crouching Cannon shell after leaving the barrel had already appeared in Zhong Yi's eyes.
"That is to say!"
"As long as I design the flight trajectory of the Tiger-Crouching Cannon in advance so that it explodes exactly the moment it hits the ground..."
"Then the enemy will have no time to dodge at all!"
After saying that, Zhong Yi looked at the optimal angle he had found, and the Spiritual Qi throughout his body suddenly poured into the Tiger-Crouching Cannon.
"Just like this!!"
With a roar, the Tiger-Crouching shell tore through the air with immense force and bounced back the moment it touched the wall!
The landing point appeared to be right behind the crate where the enemy was hiding!
This scene made Zhou Yue's blood boil with excitement.
"Holy shit... Old Zhong, you!?"
Before he could finish his sentence, the Tiger-Crouching shell hit the sharp corner at the top of the crate and bounced away again.
A spiral-shaped cyclone exploded in the air.
After a series of indescribable trajectories, the Tiger-Crouching shell bounced steadily back to Zhong Yi's feet.
"Boom—!!"
Zhong Yi let out a miserable wail as his body instantly lost balance, leaving him lying on the ground dizzy and disoriented.
"..."
Zhou Yue facepalmed for what felt like the umpteenth time today.
"What the hell was I even expecting..."
Complaining aside.
As the team's most solid backup, he still slowly pulled out his gun to prevent the enemy Vyron from taking the opportunity to kill Old Zhong.
Sure enough, a dark shadow moved behind the cabinet.
An arm reached out from behind and threw two Spirit-Sucking Bombs with incredible speed.
"Spirit-Sucking Bombs? Trying to run?"
Zhou Yue didn't take it to heart, instead aiming his muzzle at the direction the enemy might escape.
Though powerful, the Spirit-Sucking Bomb's activation time was too slow; Zhou Yue felt they could only be used to force a reposition.
Even someone like Zhong Yi should be able to run away in time.
"Oh no, oh no!"
Zhong Yi, shaken dizzy and disoriented, struggled to get up from the ground, his mind in a complete mess.
His own clumsy play had exposed a huge opening, and the opponent had taken the chance to throw Spirit-Sucking Bombs. At this moment, all Zhong Yi could think about was getting up and escaping.
Before he had even climbed up, he had already begun using his Divine Sense to activate his Jetstream skill.
Just as he stood up, Zhou Yue's eyes went wide not far behind him.
Because the two Spirit-Sucking Bombs the enemy had thrown were stuck unerringly right on Zhong Yi's crotch.
"O-Old Zhong..."
Just as Zhou Yue was about to warn him, the Jetstream Technique that Zhong Yi had been activating triggered instantly.
Two strong blasts of hot air erupted from Zhong Yi's back.
Carried by this force, Zhong Yi flew toward Zhou Yue like a cannonball.
"Dammit!!"
"Why are you cursing at me??"
"Bomb... there's a bomb!!!"
"I know there's a bomb, that's why I'm dodging!!"
"On your dick!!"
"???"
Zhou Yue wanted to dodge, but Vyron's Jetstream was in his face in an instant, and with the added acceleration of the landing, he couldn't shake Zhong Yi off at all.
Just then, Zhou Qiaoling walked over with a grin, holding a golden lion head:
"I got a drop!! A four-slot Gilded Lion Dance. It won't fit in my samsara seal, so you guys have to escort me... eh?"
Halfway through her sentence, Zhou Qiaoling looked up and saw a majestic man soaring through the air.
The two Spirit-Sucking Bombs flashing with red light between his legs were extremely eye-catching.
The joy in Zhou Qiaoling's eyes was instantly replaced by despair.
"Boom—!!!"
The Spirit-Sucking Bombs exploded.
The health bars of all three people were instantly emptied.
"Old Zhong, you'd better only play Bee Doctor from now on!! Only he won't hurt teammates!!!"
"Ahem, it was a mistake, a mistake... Let me research it some more, I can definitely achieve an instant-detonation Tiger-Crouching Cannon..."
"Waaaaah, my Big Red, my Big Red!!!"
"Others are Vyrons, but Old Zhong, you're playing as a Tiny Bug!!!"
...
...
The server launch event rewards for "operation xianyuan continent" were very generous.
Various Standard Issue Vouchers and equipment were constantly being sent to the players' warehouses.
Even so, it wasn't enough to withstand the squandering of Zhong Yi and the other two.
Although Zhou Yue was skilled, this wasn't "Naraka: Bladepoint"; the difficulty of one-versus-three was much higher here.
He wasn't familiar with the map to begin with, and combined with his habit of brainlessly charging forward whenever he heard gunfire, he was occasionally taken out by a Potato Mine in some dark corner.
Sometimes Zhou Yue was quite curious.
Somehow, the Righteous Cultivators seemed to have taught themselves how to camp and ambush people in corners; it had been happening since his very first match in the Illusion Realm.
Soon, the last Utility Disciple Standard Issue Voucher was also exhausted.
"Out of vouchers... shall we kit out with our own gear?"
Zhou Yue still wanted more and had no intention of logging off.
After dozens of battles, his kill count had already exceeded 100; trading one life for an entire enemy squad was a common occurrence for him.
He felt the combat in "operation xianyuan continent" was particularly satisfying.
Firstly, the combat with guns and Spirit Bullets was very novel.
Secondly, battles were often decided in an instant, making it both tense and exciting.
"Again, again! The 4-slot samsara seal from the event hasn't expired yet, I want to go get some more goods!"
Zhou Qiaoling was also very happy.
Aside from "this devil cultivator is not so cold", "operation xianyuan continent" was definitely the Illusion Realm that appealed to her the most.
The reason was simple: the feeling of looting was just too great!
In reality, let alone a gold bar, even if a Spirit Stone dropped in front of her, she might not feel much;
But "operation xianyuan continent" was different.
The feeling of using Divine Sense to explore the grid size and then having the items be searched out bit by bit was truly wondrous!
Especially when she encountered extra-large items like six-slot or nine-slot ones, her heart would always race to the extreme.
Unfortunately, the drop rate in the normal Dam map was too low, and she hadn't seen such a large Big Red yet.
"The samsara seal is too small, it's not enough to hold everything... wait!"
Just as Zhou Qiaoling was complaining quietly, she suddenly saw a brand-new product notification.
"What!?"
"Divine Machine Order? It gives a six-slot samsara seal plus all kinds of rare combat supplies???"
"Bought it!!!"
Seeing Zhou Qiaoling's actions, Zhou Yue and Zhong Yi looked at each other.
Zhou Qiaoling was notoriously stingy.
In the Illusion Realm, she was known for not spending a single cent.
The few paid skins she had were all gifts from Zhou Yue.
When had they ever seen her actively topping up Spirit Stones?
"Junior Brother Lu is truly a True God... he can actually get my sister to actively spend Spirit Stones in an Illusion Realm?"
Zhou Yue clicked his tongue in wonder.
"Forget about Junior Sister Qiaoling, the temptation of a six-slot samsara seal is just too great... I'm afraid quite a few people will buy it. Junior Brother Lu is going to strike it rich again..."
Zhong Yi said as he topped up, quickly buying a copy for himself as well.
He was never stingy with spending money in the Illusion Realm.
"Oho? It gives a 【heavenly soldier type 4】 Full Gear Pack right off the bat... Come on! Let's continue raiding The Dam!"
Zhong Yi laughed loudly, about to continue.
Suddenly, he felt a burst of lightning and thunder in the team lobby.
"Holy crap, which one of you picked Luna and is firing Electric Arrows?"
Zhong Yi looked at Zhou Yue and Zhou Qiaoling in surprise, only to see that one was Red Wolf and the other was Bee Doctor; their characters hadn't changed.
"Old Zhong, what nonsense are you talking? We can't even use skills here..."
Zhou Yue was completely bewildered by what was said.
Mainly because everything in his team lobby was normal; where was there any lightning?
Just as Zhong Yi was wondering, Chao Wendao's stern voice of reprimand came to his ears:
"Still playing? Don't you know class is about to start!!"
