'Hey! Annie? ’

'What are you doing?' I've heard, you just ran out of the dungeon, and you killed one of the leaders of the Fan Alliance Guild? Well, you should be free now, right? ’

Not long after Anne had just blended into the crowd and had not yet figured out what to do next, a well-informed scapular warrior Edge, who seemed to be well-informed, immediately approached the door through communication.

“……”

(?? _??)

"Not available! People are very busy! ”

o(?? ^｀)o

Although Anne seems to be free now, she says that she will be empty soon after a while!

So, if that scapular warrior, that unconscionable profiteer, is trying to trick her into helping out or participating in some messy game, then it can be saved! After all, she came into this 'Oasis' game to play, not to help the other party.

'Uh......'

You're so straightforward...... Okay then, so I'll cut it short? ’

Here's the thing: Parsifar and Artemis seem to have discovered some of the clues about Halliday, and are going to invite me and Ashur to the library of the oasis tomorrow to look for clues, how to raise them, do you want to come together? ’

Knowing that the other party must be free, Edge, who probably just didn't want to be disturbed by himself, hurriedly said the main purpose of his contact with the other party.

"Clue to Halliday?"

(??????.??????)????????

"But who is Halliday?!"

く(＾_??) ゝ？

Anne, who was thinking about where she was going to play later, was a little confused when she heard the other party's words, and she couldn't fully react, and said that she didn't seem to know the guy named Halliday, but where did she seem to hear it?

（…… ）

ε=(???? '●))) Alas

‘！！ ’

'It's that James Halliday!' That genius founder who single-handedly created the Oasis game, that is also known as the prophet Arnoke, that easter egg game by Halliday!! ’

'Annie! ’

'You're number one in the standings now, have you even forgotten about it?!' ’

Hearing a little girl's question and seeing the cute little face of the other party in the chat communication box, the shoulder blade warrior Edges couldn't help but feel a little anxious for the other party, and hurriedly explained loudly and asked rhetorically.

"Oh!"

! (;?? o??) o

"So you're talking about that nasty old man who wants to burn a fire with a fireball......"

(～￣▽￣)～

As soon as the other party said this, Anne finally remembered.

After all, the other party really made a little deep impression on her, and rewarded herself with 110,000 gold coins, allowing her to enjoy virtual food for several days in the food planet of the 79 District Leisure and Entertainment Area.

Of course, that Halliday's role is limited to this, except for making her make a little money and spend it quickly, the other party is actually no different from a kind of passerby A NPC in Annie's eyes, and she forgets it as soon as she turns her head, like some troublesome queen of Erathia or something?

‘……’

Seeing that the other party could almost forget that kind of important thing, the shoulder blade warrior Edges was a little speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say?

"That's right!"

（゜▽＾*））

"Last time, you sold other people's information, how much money did you get?!"

?? (????????????)??

Since she had spoken of the bad old man, and had reminded her of the little money, Anne hastened to ask about something that was countless times more important to her than a bad old man.

‘！！ ’

'Uh......'

"Not much, actually......

Hearing that the little guy had suddenly shifted the matter to something that he had never thought of mentioning again, Edgey suddenly felt a burst of suffocation, and then, even speaking, became a little slurred, and faintly regretted that he had actively contacted the other party so quickly.

"How much is not much?!"

|?? ˙?? ˙)？

It doesn't matter how much it is, anyway, Anne only knows, then it's okay to have a large part of herself, anyway, it's a small amount of money picked up for nothing, don't want it in vain, don't ask for it in vain!

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

'That ......'

'Probably...... Possible...... Only 100,000? ’

Actually, to be exact, more than 110,000 is almost 120,000, but the shoulder blade warrior Edgey thought about it, and after considering the fact that he had been trapped by the other party with a stone and caused his economy to deteriorate, he resolutely decided: This time, I want to take more than 10,000 more on my side?

"It's so spicy?"

! (;?? o??) o

"That's it, people are now going to fight in the world of red alert, you have the opportunity to find someone to betray the information a few more times, although tell the rich guys the location of the person, they are not afraid of them at all!"

(??????????) Hey!

Yes, Anne came up with such a good idea for a quick buck, and stood right in front of the game portal on the Red Alert planet in the Sector 12 combat zone, ready to go inside and wait for those who wanted to trouble her.

Because, in the Red Alert game planet, everyone's character attributes are limited to the limit value of the human physique, and the use of all skills and items that are not red alert games is prohibited, and everyone can only use the guns or equipment in it to fight...... In this way, anyone who wants to deal with her can only join her opposition and honestly go to the battlefield to fight her?

That way, she'll have a lot of advantage, and she'll not worry about the number of enemies at all! Because, Anne, who has fought on many battlefields, has never been afraid of anyone, even if she can't cheat!

‘！！ ’

Hearing that the other party actually put forward such a bad idea, a certain unconscionable scapular warrior was taken aback and hurriedly opened his mouth to verify it again:

'Are you sure?' Annie, you're not kidding, are you?! ’

Edgey knows that it is indeed easy to make money, but at the same time, it is also dangerous! Maybe, the other party will be killed by someone by accident, and then, the bounty of hundreds of millions of dollars will be cheaper for nothing.

In that case, it would be better to come to his studio right now and be shot by him, and then the two of them would turn around and split the money! Even if he could only get a tenth of it, it would be enough for him to struggle for several years, or even more than ten years!

"No kidding, of course!"

(*?? ︶?? *)

"This time, though, it's going to be at least thirty-seven! I'm three you...... Wrong! It's me seven and you're three!! ”

?????? (??)????????

There are more people who want to catch themselves, so Anne, who feels that it is better to be blocked, said happily and generously: After she is ready, within her preset battlefield, she is not afraid of those guys coming to her trouble! Even, she should be able to take the opportunity to kill those guys in large numbers, and then earn not only their information fees, but also their small life money?

Even if a person explodes an average of a few hundred gold coins, if she can kill hundreds or thousands, wouldn't she also make a fortune?

'Deal!! ’

After hesitating for a moment, after seeing the other party's determined look, Aitch generously patted his chest and responded. Because, he doesn't seem to have any loss in this matter, it's all for nothing? Therefore, since it was strongly requested by the other party, of course he had no reason to refuse.

Besides, it is completely up to him to decide how much money he receives for each transaction, and it seems that he can also take advantage of the information asymmetry to make a kickback or something?

"Then it's decided! Also, you have to remember to transfer the gold coins you got from the last time you betrayed someone's information!! ”

s (???? ˇεˇ????) ゞ

'That's fine, I'll turn now!' ’

'Okay......'

'It's been turned, but little one, aren't you really going to crack the clue to that easter egg game in Halliday tomorrow?! ’

"You're number one now, you're so powerful, if you succeed in cracking it, maybe the whole Oasis game will be yours!!" ’

For a racing game that can make it through the first level on her own, instead of getting the Bronze Key by cheating, like Parsifal, Artemis, and herself and Ashu, who cheated through the backdoor of the bug left by Halliday.

If there was to be a poll to find out who was the most likely to win Halliday's Easter egg among those in the standings, there would be no doubt that Aitch would definitely vote for the little girl in front of him, Annie, and not his better friend Parsifal!

"People don't go!"

?? (????????)??

"Forget about finding and cracking clues or something, that kind of thing is stupid! People should wait for you to really crack the clue before going, anyway, people know that if you don't cheat, you will definitely not be able to pass the test! That's it, goodbye~! ”

(???????? -)??

Beep~!

With that, Anne turned off the communication and generously walked through the red alert portal in the Sector 12 combat zone, ready to play a fun chase-and-kill war game with some guys who might continue to hunt her down?

‘……’

'Okay......

I only went after cracking it, and I was sure that they wouldn't be able to pass it...... Didn't you say it, that little guy seems to be planning to sit back and enjoy it? However, Edgey didn't pay much attention, just shook his head, and went about his business.

As for what the other party said about betraying intelligence, he is not in a hurry at all, because he knows that the business he sends to the door must not be able to sell at a good price, or will it be better to wait for those guys to come to the door by themselves?

Anyway, this is a monopoly business, and he is the only one in the entire oasis, and he is not afraid that those guys who have tried once but suffered a fiasco will not take the bait!

……

At this time, in the Red Alert Planet in the 12th Combat Zone of the Oasis Game, Anne, who quickly passed various assessments in the Soviet barracks and obtained the rank of second lieutenant with extremely excellent results, had changed into a beautiful Soviet military uniform, and walked out of the barracks with a big grin with a big grin on the sturdy Soviet SVD sniper rifle she was assigned.

That's why she chose this Red Alert planet's campaign copy as a reason to wait for some guys to come to her for trouble, because, ah, here, no matter how strong an individual's ability and skill is, it is all about being restricted and thrown into the barracks to participate in the training assessment, and only after passing can the rank be awarded according to performance and achievements and start from a small soldier.

Moreover, all players can only be infantry, and although they can be mounted on various vehicles, they cannot actively drive various tanks, ships, or planes, so how can she be afraid of those who come to hunt her down in such a chaotic and evenly matched world war battlefield?

After spending a moment in front of the portal of the campaign level and encounter, she thought about it, and then went straight into the portal of a new campaign, and in the blink of an eye, she seemed to be in a place she was familiar with.

Woo~! Whining~! Woo~!

At this time, the city was filled with the sound of air raid sirens, and the cars on the streets were long gone, either parked in parking lots or next to residential buildings, and the pedestrians on the road were long gone, making it look like it was full of the bleak, endless depression before the war......

Obviously, for this coastal city, which has been reduced to a battlefield, the inhabitants have either fled or hid, and they will not easily and dare not wander the streets.

'Zizi! ’

'Ensign Anne Hasta! Hear it, please answer! ’

'Hear it, please answer?!' ’

Anne had just been teleported to the dungeon campaign by the portal, and before she could see the surrounding situation clearly, she was shocked to find that her solo communicator sounded the irritable call of an unknown guy.

"People hear it!"

(°ー°〃)

"Who are you? Also, what are you yelling at, is there something going on? ”

(*￣△￣*)

Anne was still a little confused about the current situation, because she found that she seemed to be on the roof of a tall building, and in the distance on the sea, there was a small island with a huge bronze statue?

Well, there was no doubt that she didn't have to guess to know what this place was...... This is a city she is very familiar with! It's just that now she plays a second lieutenant sniper on the side of the Soviet army in the red alert world, and the Soviet army and the allies during the Cold War were mortal enemies and opponents!

This is not?

Now, judging from the smoke and roaring cannons in the distance, in this war game that simulates the Cold War confrontation, it seems that the Soviet army has attacked the Statue of Liberty in New York?

'Zizi! ’

'This is the former enemy headquarters of the Soviet army! ’

'Now issue the order: Second Lieutenant Anne Hasta, four of our Dreadnought-class warships will arrive one kilometer off the coast at 12 o'clock in your harbor and are about to launch a missile attack on Liberty Island! The amphibious armored personnel carrier will also transport the conscripts to occupy the tactical point on Liberty Island in order to demoralize the enemy, so be sure to use long-range snipers to cooperate with the conscripts to land and monitor the surrounding area! ’

'Over! ’

After saying that, a certain communication soldier who also seemed to have a bad temper directly disconnected the communication, so that Anne couldn't ask more.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

No sooner had the call ended, short-range missiles in the distance took off the four Dreadnought-class warships and quickly landed on the island, where they were soon completely submerged in the rubble covered by smoke, fire, and splashing fragments of architectural statues.

After a statue of freedom was blown up by the Soviets, there were about a platoon of soldiers defending there, and even if they didn't die, there were probably not many left.

"It's really ......"

(lll￢▽￢)

"Those guys have already called here, how can they still ask people to help?"

╮(╯▽╰)╭

Although Anne doesn't know whether the Allies have the advantage or the Soviets have the advantage in this game world, or if the two sides are in a mess and a pot of porridge?

Anyway, she only knew that since the Soviet ships had hit New York, and since the Soviet landing force was about to land, there was no doubt that at least on the battlefield she was in, in this almost empty city of New York, the aspect she joined still had a little upper hand.

"Huh?!"

(??????.??????)????????

"That's ......"

! (;?? o??) o【デ═一

Through the standard sighting equipment on the Soviet-made SVD sniper rifle in her hand, through the 4×24mm PSO-1 model, with a total length of 375mm, a field of view of 6 °, and a magnification of only 4 times, the range adjustment nut can correct the trajectory to 1000m, plus the scope of the reticle with a maximum range of 1300m, she seems to see that in the distance, there is a figure sneaking under the first dreadnought-class ship?

Soon, when the other party quickly swam away, with a muffled sound and the slightest ripple on the bottom of the sea, the huge battleship actually began to enter the water and tilt, and it didn't take long for it to sit directly on the bottom of the sea amid the confusion and shouts of the sailors?

“！！”

!？ (??''????)??

"Report, report to command!"

=???????? (?????? *)

"People just seem to have found out...... An enemy in the sea swam under our dreadnought and sank one of our big ships!! ”

ヾ(???? ﹏??)????

Anne didn't know who that person was, but she only knew that if she left it alone, she believed that soon, the remaining three of them would not know why, and all the dreadnoughts who had to run to show off their might and attack at close range not far from here would all sink to the bottom of the sea!

Therefore, she no longer cared about the bustle of the ships and naval soldiers who were flopping and fleeing for their lives on the sea, and instead sent such a message back directly to the command channel just now.

'Zizi ......'

'Second Lieutenant Anne Hasta, please kill the enemy immediately!' ’

'Repeat! Please kill the enemy immediately!! ’

The fact that an expensive and important dreadnought was blown up by the enemy's water spirits made the communications liaison officer in a pre-war command a little angry, and it seemed that he had issued a battle order to Anne without consulting his superiors, rather than conveying this important news to the dreadnoughts anchored at the sea.

"Okay......"

（?????????? ）

"But it seems to be a bit far away, and it's still in the sea, so people can't guarantee that they can hit it!!"

(????????) 【デ═一

Anne began to lie on the floor of the rooftop, carefully holding her breath as she slowly searched the surface of the sea with her sights, until she spotted a dark figure approaching another dreadnought and emerging to the surface again to breathe.......

"Hah!"

(??????????) 【デ═一 ?? Bang!

After estimating the wind speed and undulating waves, a specially developed 7.62×54mm R sniper projectile flew out of the muzzle of the gun at a speed of 830m/s, and accurately hit the head of the enemy 'water ghost' who surfaced to ventilate a second, instantly opening the scoop, and after a trace of red and white appeared, it quickly sank into the undulating water, completely silent.

"It's supposed to be dead, right?"

|???? ω?? `)？

?? Bite~!

?? You successfully killed the Allied Hero Tanya and received an additional 1,000 in-game currency reward~!

“！！”

! (;?? o??) o

Hearing the prompt sound in the hesitation, Anne couldn't help but be a little surprised!

Because, she couldn't believe that she had just entered the game dungeon, and the first shot she fired casually like that actually killed an enemy hero, and also received a reward of a thousand gold coins?

And if the enemy army had more of that kind of hero units, wouldn't she be going to make a fortune?!
