‘Holy crap, has a heavyweight operator arrived?’
‘This entrance is a bit domineering.’
‘Truly a divine being from the heavens, like a demon lord descending, this L Guang—()’
.......
Little Amiya’s face lit up with joy.
“Miss L Guang!”
L Guang appeared in everyone’s sight, clad in silver armor and holding a rhombus-shaped heavy shield. “I am here.”
“It’s good that everyone is safe, quickly retreat!”
Dobermann: “Fortunately, you participated in this operation.”
“The signal flare’s positioning was very effective. It seems you encountered quite a bit of trouble.”
L Guang looked at the Doctor, “Radiant Knight L Guang, here to pick you up.”
Then she turned to look at Mephisto, “—You.”
“Your command over the suppression of the military stronghold in Chernobog was as efficient as a robot—these deranged thugs, massacre, arson, hunting… it’s all just to satisfy your own cruel tastes, isn’t it?”
“There’s someone else directing you, isn’t there?”/
“——Faust.”
Mephisto glared coldly at L Guang, “Shut her mouth for me.”
Faust: “……”
L Guang: !
Boom!
In a flash of lightning, the two exchanged a round of blows.
“Cough, cough……”
Amiya worried, “L Guang!”
Dobermann: “The enemy’s sniper… is very strong!”
“If L Guang is hit again, she’ll definitely lose her defensive capabilities.”
“L Guang, fall back quickly!”
“No…” L Guang shook her head, “The power is too great. If it hits our squad, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
“I must block his artillery!”
“Blocked Faust’s crossbow bolt? With a shield…?” Mephisto clearly couldn’t accept this outcome, “Impossible… impossible!”
He snarled, “Again!! Shatter her… into pieces!”
Faust: “—!”
L Guang: “The right side?”
Dobermann: “Damn it, spread out!”
Mo Zhi’s heart sank. There was no chance for her to intervene in this kind of plot.
At a moment of extreme urgency.
That man stepped forward.
Ace’s face was resolute as he strode forward, “You won’t succeed!”
“Ace!”
“Sniper operators, prepare!” This man not only withstood the attack but also organized a counter-offensive.
“Target, the high ground on the south side, concentrate fire!”
Rumble!!
Faust: “……!”
Mephisto was enraged, “What! How dare you, how dare you…!”
“Did we hit him?” Amiya asked.
“Not that easily. This can only… slightly suppress him,” Ace said, “We don’t have time to understand the enemy’s composition!”
“The longer we delay, the more dangerous our situation becomes!” Dobermann analyzed, “We can’t give them a chance to breathe. Now’s the time, Amiya!”
“Understood!”
Amiya commanded, “E1 squad shooters, suppress Reunion with me!”
“E2 squad, unleash maximum firepower and tear open Reunion’s defense line!”
“E4 squad, now, go all out!”
The squad leaders directed their teams in an orderly fashion.
Having completed the 0-10 and 0-11 main story missions, the group escaped the upper city of Chernobog.
Mo Zhi obtained a total of fifteen Originium.
At this moment,
She had unlocked the game interface.
“Wow!”
Mo Zhi was stunned as soon as she saw the game interface, “What a clean interface, it’s designed with a lot of artistic flair. You can even place an Assistant operator on the main screen.”
“Exclusive slot for the main waifu, the old dev really knows players!”
After playing so many mobile games, this was Mo Zhi’s first time seeing such a clean and tidy main interface.
Looking at the convenient string of garbled code next to Assistant Amiya, Mo Zhi first used a rename card to change the garbled ID to: Mo Zhi.
It took about five minutes.
Mo Zhi figured out the upgrade rules for “Doomsday Ark.”
“I’ve looked at the upgrade rules, and it’s not difficult. Just stack levels mindlessly, promote them, max out potential, and skill points.”
Mo Zhi explained, “These elements all increase the operator’s offensive and defensive stats. As long as you have enough materials, you can just pull them. I haven’t seen any pay-to-win elements yet. Is the old dev not trying to scam us for money?”
‘Stop babbling, let’s gacha!’
‘The plot in the neighboring game is skipping like crazy. I’ve already finished drawing operators and reached 3-8. Such speed.’
‘There’s no need to rush for clearing. The test version’s main story only goes up to the first four chapters, so it’s clearly a cut-down version.’
‘I think Mo Zhi is here for the game’s background and character stories.’
.......
Mo Zhi’s streaming style focuses on plot and difficulty, but the Ark game clearly doesn’t require much operational skill.
It’s a tower defense game; just gacha mindlessly, stack stats, and the main story can be cleared easily.
Even free-to-play players can keep up with the progress by playing diligently.
It’s a game that easily becomes stale.
However, how to avoid that is not something players need to consider.
Mo Zhi completed the新手任务 (newbie tasks) and collected the rewards.
“Everyone, I’ve got money now, I’ll take you for some gacha pulls and see my luck.”
Although she was eager to unlock the main story 1-1, she was already finding 0-9 and 0-10 a bit challenging.
It’s better to pull some gacha first and improve the operator stats.
The initial gacha pool had quite a few 6-star operators, but it surprised Mo Zhi that L Guang, who was so strong, was only a 5-star.
Also, Ace was not in the gacha pool.
Amiya was a 5-star, not in the gacha pool either. Currently, she only had the one given by the system.
She arrived at the recruitment interface.
Mo Zhi clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly.
“Bless me with a 6-star on my first ten-pull!”
6-star operators are the highest-tier operators, ones you can use until the game servers shut down. Mindless strength is always the way to go.
The test server’s new player gift packs for “Doomsday Ark” were very generous. By simply completing tasks, Mo Zhi obtained thirty gacha pulls.
“Let’s start with the system-given ten-pull!”
Mo Zhi directly clicked the [Recruit Ten Times] button.
Clunk!
A black zipper bag with the Rhodes Island logo was dropped. Mo Zhi slid the zipper—
A faint blue light appeared!
Drawing the attention of everyone in the livestream.
Ding ding ding ding!!
Unique sound effects rang out.
4-star operator—Xiao!
“Hello, Officer Mo Zhi, Xiao from Lungmen Fire Department reports for duty!”
“4-star, not bad!”
Mo Zhi continued to pull the zipper.
“Thank you for your fatal blow, do you have anything to say to me tonight?” – Orchid Night.
“No loss with a 4-star!”
“The cats have increased, so happy!” – Mousse.
“No loss with a 4-star cat-eared girl.”
“Hello, Doctor… please take care of me.” – Melantha.
“Purple hair, pink eyes, cat ears, no loss… Damn it!”
With a string of low-star operators, Mo Zhi couldn’t hold back anymore.
She directly clicked [skip] to bypass the cutscene.
Six 4-stars, four 3-stars. Terrible luck!
The viewers burst into laughter!
‘Non-chief, move along!’
‘Turns out it’s a purple aura!’
‘Hahahaha, I can’t stop laughing!’
‘This is the worst ten-pull I’ve ever seen!’
.......
“Don’t worry, the second ten-pull guarantees a 5-star!”
Mo Zhi pulled again, and the zipper opened with a golden glow.
“Got it, got it!”
[skip]
“Yo, Doctor, you’d forgive me even if I brought my weapon in here, right? Then I’ll just sit here.” – Lappland.
The only 5-star.
The rest were 3-stars and 4-stars.
“Again!”
Mo Zhi got carried away.
Swish!
The moment the zipper was pulled open, a rainbow flashed.
“This time for sure, a rainbow means a 6-star!”
Ding ding ding ding!!
“Doctor, please rest assured, with me here, you are safe.” – Hoshiguma.
6-star operator Hoshiguma!
“Good, good, no loss with Unicorn!”
Mo Zhi let out a long sigh of relief, almost going bald.
The bullet comments were filled with question marks.
‘I can’t accept this. Watching you get a gold character feels worse than being killed.’
‘I’ve noticed an interesting phenomenon. It seems that streamers get at least one guaranteed 6-star operator within the first thirty pulls.’
‘Judging by this, the chance of getting high-tier operators from the gacha pool isn’t low.’
‘If the official server has similar probabilities, it’s actually quite generous.’
‘This game seems to have no pay-to-win elements, and no annoying pop-up ads for first-time purchases offering 6-star operators. It’s very clean.’
........
“Let’s see the rest,” Mo Zhi continued to click skip!
Ding ding ding!
“My next mission is to protect your safety, Doctor.” – Texas.
5-star Vanguard!
“Gentle doggo, no loss!”
After finishing the gacha pulls, Mo Zhi focused on upgrading the 6-star operator’s stats before re-entering the main story.
The corners of her lips curved up, brimming with confidence.
“Our journey has begun!”
“Tremble, you guys from Reunion!”
