Volume 1: Childhood, Chapter 43, First Blood

The game of never-ending war is world-wide, so it is divided into the earth area, the moon area, the plant area, the Mars area, etc., and there are different numbers of small regions under each region, such as the American region, the European region, the East Asian region, the African region, etc., which will not be repeated here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAlthough we belong to the Plant area, there are quite a few people who play this game in Plant, so the matchmaking is very fast.

In about ten seconds, Lux and I were notified that the match was successful, and then our eyes went black, and when it lit up again, we were already in the character selection screen. The character selection screen is full of sci-fi style, and on either side of me are two dark blue squares that float slowly, and these squares divide the avatars of each character into a small grid of space, and when you choose a character, that character will appear in front of you. The way it appears is very digital, first you will see a swirling white square, these white squares will gather very quickly and pile up into the shape of the character you choose, and after the white shape of the small squares, the character will gradually be dyed with all kinds of colors until it returns to its original appearance and appears in front of you.

Lux and I were team-up, so we were both in the same character selection screen, and the character we chose was the same character as the one we're using. The character I'm using is called 'Red Flame' and the character used by Lux is 'Lady of Thunder', and their skills are exactly like their names, Red Flame wields the power of fire, but its fighting style is melee combat, and the Thunder Goddess wields the power of lightning, but it fights in the opposite way of Red Flame, which is a ranged combat type.

"Once the character has been chosen, you are about to enter the battlefield, and the countdown begins...... 10、9、8…… 3, 2, 1, enter the battlefield. ”

As the system beep ended, a dark blue oval gate suddenly appeared in front of me and Lux, and after it shrouded us from far and near, Lux and I appeared in a city full of high-rise buildings.

"The result of random selection of battlefield maps is Ruined City, and the random selection result of battlefield objectives is to kill enemy units 25 times, and the game ends when the battlefield objectives are completed."

Upon entering the battlefield, the system grants the character 30 seconds of invincibility, during which time the character cannot be attacked. However, when we heard the names of the battlefields and the battlefield objectives randomly selected by the system, Lux and I both looked a little more serious. After a while, Lux spoke: "People still wonder why they haven't seen anyone else, it turns out that they have been drawn to the ruined city......"

In the never-ending war, in addition to the custom battlefield, the matching mode will be randomly selected by the system to select the map and battlefield objectives, due to the large number of maps, so although the characteristics of each map are somewhat similar, there are also some maps that are more special, just like the ruined cities we encounter now. Since this map is named Ruins, it is naturally impossible for it to have such a thing as a 'base', and without a 'base' thing, it is naturally impossible to generate a regular battle route, so this map is most commonly found in Brawl mode, but there is a certain probability of random matchmaking.

In matchmaking, the targets drawn on this map are almost always similar to our current ones, but at most they are different in number. Ruined City also has a feature, that is, in addition to the characters who match the team, other characters will be randomly teleported to any place on the map, because there is no base, there is no way to buy communication equipment, so it is almost difficult for friendly players scattered in other places to converge, so this map is more inclined to fight separately.

"Hmm...... It's a bit of a problem, but now I don't even have a place to buy regular equipment, and this thing is useless. ”

After the thirty-second countdown, I walked briskly to a shop on the side of the street, looked inside, and then reached out and pulled out the drawer of the cash register next to the door, took out a wad of money and waved it at Lux, and then threw it back into the drawer.

"Hmm~" For my statement, Lux naturally nodded in agreement, but there is no figure in the ruined city (except for the combatants), so even if there is money everywhere, you can't buy any regular equipment, "Fortunately, the battlefield target this time only requires 25 kills of the opponent, if it is 100 times, people are probably considering finding a supermarket to get food." ”

"You can have food, but you can have snacks."

Hearing this, I reached out and lifted the sports cap on my head, and showed a hearty smile to Lux, in Lux's puzzled gaze, I simulated the sound of "Dangdang Dang~", and pulled out the hand in the drawer, only to see a few pieces of well-packaged chocolate in the orange gloves. Seeing the well-packed chocolates in my palm, Lux immediately laughed, and she said crisply, "I didn't expect to be able to feast before the war...... Hey, it's still a xx card. The latter sentence was spoken by Lux when she took the chocolate I had tossed.

"Let's go, the entertainment time is over, let's go find some prey."

Walking briskly back to Lux, I smiled and said this to her, and then took the lead and walked towards a tall building not far ahead.

"Hmm."

Lux's little hands deftly unpacked the chocolate bag, took out a brown piece of chocolate from it, handed it to me, and walked with me to the tall building I chose (there is no sense of taste, but if you don't eat for a long time in the game, your character's stats will decrease, and some snacks can temporarily increase your character's stats). The fact that the tall building was chosen as the target was not because the enemy was in the tall building, in fact, neither I nor I had heard any sounds from the fighting, which is enough to prove that neither side has encountered the enemy for the time being, so in order to quickly find the enemy's traces, the wide view provided by the tall building has become one of the best options at the moment. You can't let me wander around the streets and alleys on the ground looking for enemies, can you?

We quickly came to the top of the tall building and found the stairs to the top floor. Standing by the railing at the edge of the top platform, Lux and I looked out at our surroundings.

The first thing that catches your eye is the high-rise buildings, some of which are still in good condition and some of which are half gone, and the ruins and broken walls are scattered in the streets and alleys of the city, blocking the roads that could have been unobstructed. The sky in the ruined city was not blue, it looked like it had been covered with a thick layer of dust, and it looked extremely gray and ugly. Under the influence of this gray sky, the ruined city is almost shrouded in a gray shadow, and with the silent environment, it feels like being in a dead city, which is extremely eerie and makes people shudder.

At this moment, the gray sky suddenly lit up, and Lux and I subconsciously looked up, and saw that many arcs of electricity had appeared in the clouds at some point, and they shone and condensed until they turned into a bright lightning. The lightning bolt seemed to be self-aware, drawing a zigzag path that instantly crossed thousands of distances and landed on a tall building in the distance.

With a dazzling light and a roaring loud noise, the tall building was blasted into several knots by lightning in the blink of an eye, and the shattered tall building fell downward under the guidance of the ground attraction, and when it touched the ground, in addition to stirring up a piece of dust from the boss, it also shook the ground to tremble, and even Lux and I, who were thousands of kilometers away, could feel the tall building under our feet 'trembling'.

"First blood!"

A row of bright red words suddenly appeared in the sky, accompanied by a shocking roar, and then the row of words flashed three times (three seconds) before suddenly dissipating into the sky.

"I didn't expect there to be a thunder goddess on the other side......"

Since it is named after the Goddess of Thunder, lightning is naturally within the scope of her functions, so when we saw the lightning strike just now, which was almost comparable to the power of heaven and earth, Lux and I both realized that there was also a Goddess of Thunder on the other side.

"I don't know if the other party also has a companion, but if there is a companion, it will be difficult to entangle."

Different teams can use the same characters, so it's not uncommon for Thunder to meet Thunder. However, the goddess of thunder is a role with a high level of difficulty, which is not something that ordinary people can use, if the other party is just a person, then there is not much of a threat, but if the other party has a companion, it is really difficult to entangle.

"Judging by the way she (the Goddess of Thunder must be a woman to choose) directly bombarded that tall building just now, it should be that she didn't find a companion but happened to find our friendly team members, otherwise she wouldn't have had to condense such a powerful lightning strike...... It's going to take a lot of time. But now...... Not necessarily. As I spoke, I suddenly turned my head to look at an avenue three hundred meters away from us, and at this time there happened to be a figure made entirely of steel, "I have found a hostile target, but it is not easy to mess with, fortunately, our attributes are just finished to defeat him." So, let's start our battle by solving it. ”

"Okay, Kiki......" After answering me, Lux also looked at the figure made entirely of steel, and when she saw her target, Lux laughed, "Isn't it just a robot, it's really bad luck to meet someone." With that, Lux raised her right hand, raised her ornate staff in the air, and muttered in a low voice.

As time passed, the blue arcs of electricity surrounding the deep sapphire gradually intensified on the staff that was held high by Lux, and when they were so dense that they completely enveloped the deep sapphire, I heard a crisp and pleasant cry from Lux: "Thunder of Judgment!" As soon as the words fell, the blue arc that completely enveloped the dark sapphire at the tip of the staff condensed together, forming a thunder mass the size of a fist. Then it flew from the tip of the staff into the clouds at a speed that completely exceeded what human vision could capture, and in an instant, countless arcs of electricity burst out from the clouds, illuminating our world like ghosts.

In another second, the countless arcs of electricity that burst out of the clouds suddenly disappeared, and a thick lightning bolt pierced the entire sky, completely tearing apart all the darkness in front of him. With an earth-shattering roar, the lightning rushed from top to bottom like a red-chained snake covered in flames, and the steel figure was the target that Lux had locked.

Although the other party had already sensed the thundercloud right above it, the speed at which the lightning formed was so fast that it had already fallen from the sky and slashed at its body in almost a second. The steel body was completely unable to resist the attack of this thick lightning, and when the lightning touched its head, its head was directly vaporized by the heat, and its chest, its hands, and its lower limbs were touched by the lightning almost without any action, and then disappeared into the lightning like a paper that had been gradually burned to ashes by the flames.

After completely vaporizing the target, the lightning did not stop, and it instantly hit the avenue under the target's feet. With another loud roar, the avenue was blasted out of a large crater with a radius of thirty meters by lightning. Abandoned vehicles and debris around it were also affected by the pond fish, which either burst due to the heat, spontaneously combusted, or turned to ashes.

When the lightning turned into countless arcs of electricity and disappeared into the crater, there was already a sea of fire around the crater......
