Chapter 978: The Sweeper
[System Limit 30%] is a state that most players have never experienced.
This level of limitation has broken through the limitations that players are subject to in the script. If anyone still remembers the situation when Feng Bujue and Li Ruoyu entered the inner world together, then they should know...... 30% is the limit level of the player's inner world.
In this state, the player's invoked game menu will no longer appear in the "Present", but directly in the "Consciousness".
The "interface" they observed was also completely new......
The status bar in the new menu has completely disappeared, and the player's survival, stamina, and aura points, as well as the ailments they receive, are no longer displayed as data - all of which are now felt and measured by the player's own physical senses.
In addition, the player's perception of pain will be enhanced, considering that the "Force Disconnection" mechanism is now out of order...... It's still very scary.
Of course, there are pros and cons to this state.
Although the system gives fewer auxiliary functions, it is relatively ...... There are fewer restrictions. The player's perception will become more detailed and ...... Authentic.
The increased system limits will undoubtedly allow some higher-end players to exert more power than usual, but ...... There are also corresponding risks.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Two minutes after the invasion, Shiva's conference room.
"How? Are you okay? Great Brahma asked anxiously as he looked at the four teammates at the conference table.
"You see, you know......," Vishnu replied with a shrug, "If it works, the successful ones will have turned into white light and gone offline." β
"Rely on ......" Great Brahma couldn't help but slap the table and scolded.
"Huh?" Asura was stunned for a second after hearing this, and wondered, "Why hasn't the word 'relied on' been blocked?" β
"Hey...... When has this been, do you care if the system blocks profanity? The Great Brahma asked rhetorically.
"No, it might be important." Among these few. It was Yama, the female player, who seemed the calmest, and she continued in a deep voice, "You also heard the system voice just now...... I guess the profanity wasn't blocked and the game menu changed...... It's all about the '30% limit'. β
"Well......" At this time, the fifth person sitting at the main seat of the conference table, Shiva, finally spoke, "I didn't expect ...... what 'he' said was true. β
"'Him'?" When Vishnu heard this, he was keenly aware of something, "Who? What was said? β
Shiva replied thoughtfully, "Three days ago, that is, in the early hours of the morning when I abstained. Feng unconsciously sneaked into my house and told me...... On the day of the finals, an army of derivatives will invade the game space. β
"WOW~WOW~" Great Brahma was shocked, and he said with wide eyes, "Boss...... The amount of information in your words is a bit amazing......"
"I wouldn't have believed a word of that before." Instead of answering the other's groove, Shiva continued, "But...... Because of 'something I've been through lately', I'm ...... now I don't know what to believe anymore. He breathed a sigh of relief. With a wry smile, "Huh...... If I had to choose, I'd rather believe it......"
"Cousin, what the hell have you been through?" Asura is a second-year teenager. One of the characteristics of the second form teenager is that his intuition is very accurate, "Isn't it possible to see the hell?" β
Before he could finish speaking, Shiva turned his head to look at his seventeen-year-old cousin: "It's not a ghost...... It's angels. β
"Huh? Angel? What is this? The Great Brahma expressed his opinion bluntly.
Shiva just wanted to reply to his words, but unexpectedly......
Bang β
Suddenly. A violent thud came from the wall on one side of the room.
Bang bang bang β
Immediately after, there were three more urgent and violent sounds...... The wall was knocked out in response.
"?" This time, even Vishnu scolded, "There's something outside this wall?" β
"It stands to reason...... There is nothing left. Because on the outside of the wall is the data layer. The 'space' there and the 'space' we are in are fundamentally two different concepts. Shiva was surprisingly calm, and as he stood up, he explained, "According to Feng Bujue...... Link and Eddard teamed up to create a mass-produced creature called Redundant Soldiers. This creature can move at high speed in the 'data layer' in the form of data, and instantly take shape when it approaches the 'physical space', invading it. β
Bang! Click-
As he recounted, the metal walls of the conference room were smashed and torn.
In the next second, a redundant soldier with purple skin poked his long and narrow head in and let out a terrifying moan.
"However, the strength of these guys should not be high." Shiva said, stepped forward unhurriedly, and raised his hand with a move [Fangs Divine Strength], stabbing the redundant soldier's forehead.
Immediately after, Dan heard a "pop" sound, as if it was the sound of a crustacean shell breaking...... The redundant soldier's forehead was pierced by Shiva's fingertips, and the sound burst. The mortally wounded redundant soldier didn't even let out a scream, but suddenly lost his strength and turned into a stream of data...... dissipated into the air.
"If you hit the vital point, this level of skill is enough to kill one in seconds." Shiva answered in an explanatory tone and withdrew her right hand.
However, before he could finish speaking, several arms and heads poked out of the cracks in the wall.
Seeing this, Shiva took two steps back and continued, "Anyway...... That's what you're going to face next. As he spoke, he glanced towards the exit of the conference room, "While the exit hasn't been destroyed, let's go out and meet in the mall through the landing space." β
"Aangβ"
"Ahh
In the middle of Shiva's words, the redundant soldiers let out a low roar as if they understood, and sped up their efforts to push out of the crack.
"Remember, don't stay in a tight space." Shiva's reaction was still quite calm, he reminded his teammates of what to pay attention to, and his fists rose again, forcing back the advance of those redundant soldiers with simple physical skills, "Whether it's a landing space, a personal warehouse, or a scare box...... As soon as the redundant soldiers perceive a data response in a certain 'phase layer', they will invade it. Even if you can withstand their siege in small places, once the surrounding walls are torn down, you will still be caught in the data layer...... Where you'll be teleported next, only God knows. β
"Understood." At this time. Yama had reached the door of the conference room, and before she went out, she turned back and said, "Then our old rules...... See in area 101. β
A digression here...... Since Brother Jue set the usual mall plane on the Hell Front in Area 101, many high-level players who knew each other with Feng Bujue also set their usual mall plane there in order to meet Brother Jue once in a while. Over time, those players' teammates and friends also changed their usual settings...... As a result, Area 101 has unknowingly become a gathering place for star players from all walks of life.
"Boss, we'll wait for you." After the doors in front of him were opened, the Great Brahma also left a sentence and walked in.
"On the topic of 'angels'......" Vishnu retreated to the door. He also turned back and said, "...... I look forward to the follow-up. With that, he went in the door.
In the blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the conference room.
"Cousin, you can go quickly, leave it to me here." At this time, Asura entered the second secondary mode and spoke lines similar to death FLAG.
"That's right......" Shiva glanced at him with her peripheral vision, "...... to your abilities. You can move freely in the data layer......"
"That's right." Asura replied imposingly, "You can withdraw first, I'll go straight through the rift here in a moment......" As he spoke, a look of fanaticism appeared in his eyes. "That pretending Link...... It's up to me to take you down! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the same time, the mall area 4.
"Huh? What's going on? A middle-aged man stood in a corner of the mall, scratching his head, looking like he couldn't figure out what was going on.
This person's surname is Li. A single name is a maple character, the owner of "Ruoyun Zhai" in the east of S City, and even Feng Bujue has to call him "Uncle Li".
Forget the viewer of the previous article. When you read this, you might think I'm introducing the leader of some kind of dark organization, but ...... Audiences with good memories should remember that "Ruoyunzhai" is engaged in art auction, appraisal and exhibition business, and ...... It was opened by Ruoyu and their house.
I think everybody understands this, yes...... Li Feng is Li Ruoyu's father.
Speaking of Ruoyu's father, he is definitely a standard life winner in reality.
Let's talk about the family history first...... Among Li Feng's grandparents, there is a very famous figure, that is, the superstar of the emperor who was a household name at the beginning of this century - Li Hua. Even half a century later, in 2055, there are still many people who worship it as a male god.
Although Li Feng is not a direct descendant of Li Hua, and there is a saying that he is rich for no more than three generations...... But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Li Feng's family background since he was a child is still quite good.
Let's look at the growth experience...... In the first half of his life, Li Feng has always received a good education, and although his personality is a little shy, he will not have social difficulties like his daughter. It can be said that before the age of twenty, his life basically did not encounter any twists and turns.
Until...... He met Shui Ruoyun, who is Ruoyu's mother.
The two men met while studying in Vienna, and the story of their encounter and attack progressed for three or four years, and it wasn't much of a problem to write a romance novel alone, so I won't go into details.
To make a long story short, soon after the two returned to China, they entered the palace of marriage and founded Ruoyun Zhai.
At that time, Li Feng didn't know that Shui Ruoyun's parents ...... As Gu Chen said, he is the second of the ten strongest psionic beings on this planet; And Shui Ruoyun's aunt is Gu Chen's wife. Gu Chen's two sons...... Apparently it's not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
In short, Li Feng joined the lavish lunch without knowing it...... Oh no...... Joined a family with a very dark background.
In fact, to this day, Li Feng doesn't know about the existence of the supernatural world (because he is so easy to fool that his wife and daughter hide it from him in order to protect him), and he himself is just an ordinary person.
But...... The luck of this ordinary person is really good, maybe ...... He is a positive example of the kind of good people who have good rewards, and foolish people who have stupid blessings.
In the midst of this unprecedented crisis of invasion of the gaming space...... The level is only level 10 (although the game character was created very early, Li Feng rarely has time to go online, only occasionally playing in non-sleep mode), and Li Feng, who is completely unaware of the situation, has lived longer than many high-level players......
Because he couldn't squeeze those young people, when the first wave of impact came, Li Feng was far away from the crowd near the big screen, so he survived the first round of charge of the redundant army.
And because he was standing with his back to the system store. When the invasion broke out, the flow of people who had fled did not rush to him.
After a few minutes, as the influx of redundant troops grew, it grew far faster than the Guardian Robots could kill. At this point, a team of redundant soldiers finally arrived in front of Li Feng.
But it was also at the same moment that the NPC in the shop behind Uncle Li ...... Shot.
On weekdays, the NPCs standing in the system shop have always been nicknamed "stakes" by players. These guys don't really talk or do anything; When players come to buy something, they just need to stand in front of the counter and call up a virtual menu to complete the transaction. Those NPCs are just standing here to create a "shop feel".
Originally...... How is it possible for a store in an online game to adopt a "talk to buy" mechanism? If that's the way it is sold...... Have you ever seen a bank queuing up to do business? Have you ever seen the cashier queuing in the supermarket? Not to mention a game for hundreds of thousands or even millions. It's a game where tens of thousands of people are online at the same time...... Do you try to turn a store that sells blood vials into a "talk to buy" mechanic? Don't wait in line for a few nights and you want to buy something?
However, just today, those "stakes" revealed their true identities to the players with their actions, an enhanced version of the guard robots.
Just as Li Feng was about to be killed by a redundant soldier, the boss of the equipment store behind him turned over and jumped out of the counter, and kicked the redundant soldier in two with a single kick. Then, the owner of the equipment shop staged a good scene of mowing the grass in front of Li Feng, and he single-handedly resisted the surprise attack of seventy or eighty redundant soldiers, killing the soldiers like slaughtering pigs and dogs......
It's a pity that this situation. It lasted about two minutes......
There are only about sixty shop owners and guard robots in the area, although the guard robots have the ability to teleport, and have the equivalent of a level 60 player (the player level is capped at 50, but the guard robot can be set to 60. In addition, the player's original limit in the game space is 2%, and it is impossible to start a battle at all, so under normal circumstances. Guard bots have more than enough physical skills to manage the player, but they also have a limit, when the number of redundant soldiers reaches ten to one, or even twenty to one. The guard robot can't bear it...... Once there is damage, it is only a matter of time before it is wiped out.
As for the shop owners, they are not a problem with one hundred, their upper limit is higher than that of ordinary guard robots, and when the "quality" reaches a certain level, they can no longer pose a threat to them by relying on "quantity".
But...... Link and Eddard created redundant legions, and there are not only the lowest-level "redundant soldiers", they also created something more advanced - [RAID] (Redundant_Arrays_of_Independent_Disks).
In a detailed definition, these organisms are "independently redundant disk arrays"; Of course, there is also a simple name - [Sweeper].
The Sweepers are very similar in appearance to humans, except that their bodies are covered in the same black-purple "skin" as the Redundant Army. In terms of size, they don't seem to be as intimidating as the tall redundant soldiers, but the difference in combat effectiveness between the two is ...... It's a world of difference.
Although the intelligence of the Sweepers is not very high, their strength is at the level of Level 3 Derivatives, and they all have "Tactical Domination Modules". The most critical point is...... The Sweeper is a "mass-produced" thing, and with enough time and resources, more can be crafted.
Twelfth minute after the invasion began...... The first Sweeper appeared, followed by the second, and then the third......
It turned out that the massive "redundant soldiers" were just the vanguard responsible for the charge...... And the sweepers are the main force to complete the clearance.
Pong β
With a bang, the NPC in front of Li Feng exploded into data fragments under the attack of the three sweepers.
Uncle Li, who was covered in cold sweat, stepped back step by step, until his back was stuck on the counter of the system store, and he had to stop: "Huh...... I couldn't figure out what the situation was, but there were so many monsters coming around...... I'm going to hang up......"
This time, it was indeed impossible for any more guards to save him, and the guards and shop owners in Area 4 were all under siege and were too busy to take care of themselves. At present, the surviving players are basically gathered in groups of three or five, forming a defensive formation to resist the attack.
"But...... If you hang up, you're just 'dead back' to the landing space...... Right? When he read the last word to himself, Uncle Li himself was a little unconfident.
At the same time, a sweeper had already walked up in front of him, raising his fist......
Bang β
One punch, hit!
This is a solid punch, a punch that burns with blazing fighting spirit.
But this punch was not made by the sweepers, but ......
"Uncle, are you alright?"
At that moment, a back figure with incomparably clear back muscle lines instantly appeared in front of Li Feng, while the sweeper who raised his fist a second ago was nowhere to be found......
Uncle Li rubbed his eyes and glanced at the other party's ID - [Seven Kills].
"Uh...... I'm fine. Uncle Li replied, "Thank you, young man." β
"Huh...... You are welcome. Seven Kills turned his head, raised two fingers and waved lightly beside his eyebrows, and said hello to Uncle Li; When he made this move, Uncle Li could clearly see that white smoke was still emitting from the fist glove of Seven Kills' right hand......
"Uncle, don't be afraid." In the next second, another voice sounded, and along with it, a strong man with a huge shield and a figure comparable to Schwarzenegger, "We will protect you." β
Obviously, this time to come...... It's Long Aomin.
"Don't be careless, Uncle Li is only level ten." Commissar Greedy Wolf also quickly appeared on the top of the store, "If he is touched by the other party...... Maybe I didn't even have a chance to be treated. β
"Huh?" Uncle Li is very strange, why do they know that their surname is Li? His in-game nickname is obviously [Yun Dan Feng Tilt], "How do you know ......"
As a result, before he finished his sentence, the commander of the blade, Pojun, appeared and interrupted: "The political commissar is right...... Cheer me up! If Uncle Li makes a mistake, everyone will have to go to the section chief's place for tea together......"
"Whew!"
"Fight!"
"Only here...... Definitely hold on! β
At this moment, the players of the Blades were passionate and vindictive, and they had never seen such momentum even during the game. (To be continued......)
