Chapter 1

From the angle of Luori Rongjin, the setting sun melting gold, the moth-like dust released by the insect hive's soldier bees in mid-air had all transformed into extremely tiny insects, similar to mites and ticks.

These insects had no wings, relying entirely on their light weight to float in the wind.

As Li Ang issued the command, groups of them self-detonated one after another, releasing a colorless poisonous gas spray in mid-air that directly permeated into the FPU's body through the skin.

Because the explosions of the mite-like insects were sequential, and damage was only inflicted when the FPU absorbed the poisonous gas.

Therefore, Li Ang was able to determine the range of the FPU's main body based on the timing of each poisonous gas release, and even directly lock onto which one was the main body.

"Found it..."

Li Ang said in a low voice, raising his arm and pointing towards the sky, releasing a Disintegrate spell that blasted away the hail of bullets in front of him.

His body, in turn, stepped on the ladder formed by the Ti Yun Zong (Soaring Cloud Steps), his figure leaping like a cannonball, instantly appearing in front of a certain FPU.

What happens when a ranged player is approached by a melee fighter?

Cutting, hacking, piercing...

The red letters of [Critical Hit!] flashed across the sky like a screen, and the FPU didn't even have time to recall all the shield energy carried by its clones.

It was cut into more than a dozen pieces, the fragments of its suit-clad body falling together with the dripping blood.

[K.O.!]

The system notification sound resounded throughout Lion City. In the next second, the FPU's severed limbs, all clones, and the bullets falling from the high altitude all disappeared.

"..."

Longtou Baidahua (Dragon Head White Coat) overlooked the entire battlefield. The Prometheus employees and the Giants of Light had lost the meaning of fighting and stopped one after another. Lion City fell into an eerie silence.

Li Ang heard the system notification sound for automatic teleportation in one minute.

He raised his arm, straightened the somewhat crooked dragon head mask, nodded to Xing Hechou below, and took out the automated pet breeding box disguised as a coffin in mid-air.

The remaining insect hive soldier bees consciously landed, shrinking their bodies, allowing Li Ang to put them back into the breeding box.

When the one-minute time limit ended, Li Ang's figure disappeared, and the computer screens controlled by the Special Affairs Bureau and Prometheus employees also suddenly turned black. The PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds client automatically closed.

When it was reopened, it had returned to the normal interface.

"Huff..."

In the real world, inside the Jingge (Whale Song) stronghold, Luori Rongjin, wearing a red and white checkered shirt, exhaled a long breath and turned to look at his other three partners, asking, "How was the match?"

Ge Chanluoxing, wearing a blue and white checkered shirt, smacked his lips and gave his judgment, "The gap is too big."

"The gap is too big?"

Heise Muma (Black Trojan), wearing a black and white T-shirt, raised an eyebrow and said, "I think it's still a relatively even match.

FPU had the advantage of the arena, developed for a while, and successfully attacked Li Risheng four times.

If Li Risheng hadn't used some method at the end to lock onto FPU's position, he would probably have been hit by the hail of bullets in the sky first and directly judged as a loss."

"No."

Tie Ding Neng Ying (Iron Ingot Can Win), wearing a dark cyan shirt, pushed up the glasses on his nose, raised his eyelids, and said calmly, "First of all, the Jingyu Houlang (Mirror Domain Corridor) can arrange such a favorable arena for FPU.

This proves that the Killing Field game itself believes that his chances of winning against Li Risheng are very slim.

Secondly, Li Risheng still only used a few items and skills such as biological weapons, long spears, flying, Disintegrate spell, and a coffin suspected to be a pocket space.

Compared to Lv20 players of the same level, he must have more unused trump cards and reserves.

On the other hand, FPU used a large number of weapons and equipment provided by Prometheus, using all means.

In the final stages of the battle, even the clone array became a little chaotic, no longer as orderly as before—this is obviously due to the consumption of too much spiritual energy value and sanity value.

Unable to keep up with the high-intensity battle.

If it dragged on for another minute, FPU would probably exhaust himself first."

"Oh oh."

Heise Muma nodded. Tie Ding Neng Ying continued to say calmly, "Again, have you noticed that each of the biological weapons summoned by Li Risheng has slight differences in shape, size, flight method, and attack method.

Judging from FPU's reaction, it should not be a product produced by the Prometheus laboratory itself.

It doesn't seem to be the work of Gen-Sys Biological Technology Company or the Demon Scientist Alliance either—large forces that modulate and produce biological weapons are likely to follow the optimal combat plan, reduce costs, and improve production efficiency.

It is rare to design dozens or hundreds of special models for one type of biological weapon, and to design weapons and debug flight postures separately for each model.

Considering that Li Risheng is also the owner of the Wugou Ronglu (Stainless Furnace) shop and has the means of biological modification.

These biological weapons may all be made by himself."

"Ah?"

Heise Muma said in surprise, "Isn't he a combat-type player?"

Tie Ding Neng Ying glanced at him and said calmly, "Narrow-minded.

Can't melee players use summoning-type skills?

Can't logistics, support, and summoning players be good at melee combat?

David, the one from the Special Accident Department of the Federal Bureau of Investigation who is currently ranked tenth, is still a medical-type player.

Does this prevent him from cutting melons and vegetables all the way and using a chained blade to kill all his opponents?"

"Okay."

Heise Muma rolled his eyes and thought for a while, and finally nodded.

The four programmers collectively fell into silence, imagining whether it would be possible to survive from Li Risheng's hands, or even defeat the latter, if it was them who entered the Jingyu Houlang (Mirror Domain Corridor) instead of FPU.

All four of them successfully advanced to the second stage, received further support from the Jingge (Whale Song) organization, and their strength has improved significantly.

In order to train their combat capabilities and avoid being sniped due to identity leaks,

The Jingge (Whale Song) superiors provided them with the address of the stronghold and gathered them in the real world—the power system of Jingge (Whale Song) does not have an advantage in arena battles. Apart from the Jing Ge Tie Ma (Golden Ge Iron Horse) quartet, only a few other teams have advanced to the second stage.

Therefore, the status of Jing Ge Tie Ma (Golden Ge Iron Horse) and others in the organization has been further improved.

"I always feel... I can't beat him."

Ge Chanluoxing scratched his hair and said dejectedly, "Judging from the recording of this match alone, Li Risheng's body strength is not at the same level as ordinary Lv20 players at all.

My movements may be as slow as a turtle in his eyes.

Unless the distance is pulled to more than a thousand meters, I may not even have a chance to make a move."

"Um..."

Heise Muma nodded somewhat heavily, "The defensive ability of the clothes he was wearing was exaggeratedly strong. Ordinary energy attacks on it would not even be recognized as a valid hit by the system."

"I'm okay,"

Luori Rongjin, who had a somewhat ancient-style handsome face, said slowly, "If there are no biological weapons interfering, I can probably have about 20% chance of winning in melee combat.

However, this is on the premise that he doesn't have more trump cards.

If we really fight...

The win rate may only be 10% or even lower."

"Having 10% is already very good."

Tie Ding Neng Ying said calmly, "I estimate that Li Risheng's current strength can still rank in the top 60 on the personal combat power list, or even higher.

The help that the Wugou Ronglu (Stainless Furnace) shop provides him is no less than the support of major forces for their own participating players."

"At least 60th place..."

Ge Chanluoxing took a deep breath, looked at the camera in front of the computer screen, and asked, "Did we record the match footage? How do we deal with this recording?

Do we archive it, or sell it on the black market?"

"Let's archive it."

Luori Rongjin stood up and said calmly, "In addition to us, the Special Affairs Bureau and Prometheus people must have also recorded the video of this match.

However, they will not spread the video, but want to hide Li Risheng's combat information and let Li Risheng help them attack other competitors.

We don't need to risk being discovered by Li Risheng and worsening relations between the two sides for the sporadic money gained from selling the combat records, and be this villain."

"Um."

Heise Muma nodded, clicked the mouse, saved the recorded file, and unplugged the USB drive from the computer host.
