“BANG! BOOM!” 7EFXhz

A huge explosion rocked the entire building. The already precarious building couldn’t handle it anymore and completely collapsed. The monster fell together with the debris onto the grass, everything was still for a moment, and it didn’t appear to have regained consciousness.

Spring and Autumn stared incredulously at Shan Ziwei, who had fallen off the monster’s core. Even the tone of his voice had changed, “YOU-”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“I did exactly as you asked ah!” Shan Ziwei stood up with a splitting grin on his face and said to Spring and Autumn proudly, “Look, I definitely beat the monster’s Hearts SP to below 50, completely completing the task delivered by the organization. The only lamentable thing is that Comrade Sky’s Edge and Comrade Mortal Realm were unfortunately KIA. Towards this, I express my deepest condolences, but I believe they died a glorious and worthy death. Just as you, my friend, said, all the sacrifices to clear the stage are worth it. “

Shan Ziwei’s expression was full of grief and indignation, yet it wasn’t hard to detect the sarcasm contained within. Although this hypersexual was usually soft in character, once he’s really angered, he will indiscriminately bite people around him like a rabid rabbit. Just now, Shan Ziwei had turned his muzzle at the last second and aimed at the TNT Sky’s Edge and Mortal Realm had set up in the debris earlier. As a result, Sky’s Edge and Mortal Realm, who had their defense reduced to zero by Berserker’s Rage, were instantly annihilated. It must be said that people who bomb others should always be prepared to be bombed themselves. Earlier, Sky’s Edge and Mortal Realm had wanted to bury Shan Ziwei and the monster together with TNT, who could’ve imagined that they would be the ones who succumbed instead. 9bRkpf

After obliterating Sky’s Edge and Mortal Realm, Shan Ziwei didn’t forget to cuss Spring and Autumn out. As someone who’d mingled frequently with 21st century netizens, what didn’t he dare to say? As for Spring and Autumn, he can be said to have been completely tilted at this point. Thus it was unsurprising when Spring and Autumn angrily made a move.

Just as Shan Ziwei had said, he had indeed completed the task. The Hearts SP of the monster had already dropped below 50 points. Now it was only a matter of waiting for the nuclear missiles to arrive. In other words, this was the perfect opportunity to get revenge and settle accounts.

Born out of the intention to avenge his teammates and also teach that white haired youth a lesson at the same time, Spring and Autumn let go of the motionless tentacle and charged at Shan Ziwei with his gun. Although Shan Ziwei had been trash talking the guy the entire time, he had, in fact, also been secretly using every scenario card he could behind his back and equipping everything possible.

The opponent was a player with a level much higher than him, but Shan Ziwei was not afraid. He has only had one thought in his mind, and that was to beat this bitch into the ground.

“BANG! BANG! BANG!”

Three shots were fired in quick succession. Even the opposing Spring and Autumn couldn’t help but be surprised. Shan Ziwei’s aim was just way too good. Spring and Autumn’s body was blocked by the Dragon Subduing Shield, and the only gap left was the opening for him to see through. Therefore, the white-haired young man targeted this gap doggedly with astounding precision. It would be another story if Spring and Autumn was simply standing still like a sitting duck, but the problem was that he was literally charging at him. Not walking, not running, but charging. Exactly what kind of scenario card did the other side use to have such an accurate aim?

Shan Ziwei shot while retreating. Fighting in close quarters with a tank really wasn’t a great idea, but Shan Ziwei couldn’t kite Spring and Autumn either as his opponent’s charging speed was much faster than his. Thus, after a few shots, Spring and Autumn was already in Shan Ziwei’s face. This time, if Shan Ziwei was too slow, even if he didn’t die, he would definitely leave half his life behind.

At the critical moment, Shan Ziwei blinked quickly and stared at the monster behind Spring and Autumn in shock and horror. 4l0J1p

Spring and Autumn’s heart dropped and he reflexively looked back. Teaching Shan Ziwei a lesson was only a small matter, and wasn’t worth the loss of being smacked out of the chessboard by a monster when the scenario was on the cusp of completion. 

However, nothing moved behind him. The tentacle of the monster was still limply laying on the ground in the distance.

Spring and Autumn’s face became black like the bottom of a pot. How could he have fallen for such a stupid trick? Under the added blessing of anger, Spring and Autumn charged at Shan Ziwei again like a human tank. This time, he would bash that white haired youth into minced meat no matter what.

The exact same scenario repeated again; one person charged and one person shot. This time, before Spring and Autumn even got close to Shan Ziwei, he saw the white haired youth suddenly pale and blink his eyes furiously, as though he’d just seen something terrifying.

“Behind you, behind you!”

Do you think I’ll be fooled again? Spring and Autumn thought angrily, but then his heart began to thump crazily. A small voice in his head kept telling him that it might be true this time. Didn’t this kind of thing happen all the time in movies and novels? After a character was tricked once, he would proudly say that he wouldn’t be cheated again, but then a group of people would look on in horror as a ghost or demon actually appeared behind him. bio6BY

As his thoughts were dragged deeper and deeper into this pit, Spring and Autumn felt his vision suddenly darken as though a shadow had descended upon him. He couldn’t resist and immediately looked back.

There was nothing there. 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The shadow just now was simply a cloud floating past that happened to cover the sun.

Thus, Spring and Autumn missed Shan Ziwei once again. BqIz9Y

Even though this time Spring and Autumn had preemptively slowed down and didn’t overshoot as far as last time, he was still unable to escape the hard reality that he had fallen for the same trick a second time.

The first time could be regarded as an accident, but falling for the same trick a second time deserved more careful consideration.

Spring and Autumn immediately realized that the other party must have used some sort of manipulation skill. Otherwise, he definitely would’ve found it strange that his enemy kept warning him of danger, instead of believing the other party’s words again and again like a fool.

Spring and Autumn stopped looking down on Shan Ziwei and began to deal with him seriously. mbCLk3

When Shan Ziwei saw Spring and Autumn take out a blue potion, he immediately tilted his gun to shoot at the bottle. However, the other party shamelessly squatted behind his giant shield. Shan Ziwei couldn’t touch him at all, let alone interrupt his healing.

When Spring and Autumn finally got up again, Shan Ziwei had a bad feeling. Then he saw Spring and Autumn throw out a rope made of light, it wrapped around his waist and pulled him right in front of Spring and Autumn.

“”

The rope of light disappeared instantly after finishing its mission of dragging the other person over. Shan Ziwei’s pupils shrank violently, his black eyes reflecting Spring and Autumn’s golden spear. Without any means of defense, he simply drew out his long sword and activated “Heavy Blow”. adkDdu

“KUK!”

Shan Ziwei’s attack landed on Spring and Autumn’s armor, while Spring and Autumn’s attack fell on Shan Ziwei’s armour in turn. Who received more damage was clear at a glance. Although Spring and Autumn’s main job was a tank, his attack power was still too much for Shan Ziwei. This can be attributed to the difference in equipment. All of Shan Ziwei’s Diamonds SP immediates blackened and reduced by nearly 14 points.

The only thing to be happy about was that Spring and Autumn’s Clubs SP had also thoroughly blackened. However, he’d only had 10 points initially, so his situation was actually more dangerous than Shan Ziwei’s. Although Shan Ziwei couldn’t use ‘Investigate’ on Spring and Autumn due to the level difference, he could still guess Spring and Autumn’s remaining SP. Everyone’s Spades and Clubs SP should have dropped the same amount from violating scenario 3/6. The system was fair: OOC was OOC, the system doesn’t care whether one was a novice or an advanced player, the same amount of SP will be deducted. Since Shan Ziwei only had 10 points left in his Clubs SP Spring and Autumn’s Clubs Sp should also only have 10 points left. It so happens that Shan Ziwei’s attack was Club type, catching the other’s weak spot by chance.

At this stage, Shan Ziwei also gave it everything he had. He ignored the pain of his body being pierced, and used spammed “Heavy Blow” desperately. zhOesk

As Shan Ziwei had guessed, Spring and Autumn’s Clubs SP was indeed very limited. Although his attack was Diamond type and Shan Ziwei’s Diamonds SP still had 80 points, both Spring and Autumn’s attack and defense was much higher. It was enough to turn the tables despite the disadvantageous situation. If Shan Ziwei wanted to deplete that 10 points of Clubs SP, he had to attack four times, yet he only needed to attack with his golden spear once to exhaust the other party’s blackened Diamonds SP.

Seeing that Shan Ziwei was about to die by his hands, Spring and Autumn couldn’t help but reveal a hideous smile. This white haired youth had brought him too much trouble. Spring and Autumn had even wasted a bottle of valuable medicine, which was a testament of his determination to destroy Shan Ziwei.

Unfortunately, in many cases a single word or a single skill could change everything. For example, when Shan Ziwei was overwhelmed by Unparalleled Dragon King. For example, now.

“Healing Light” qsYeZi

As the white light flashed, Spring and Autumn could only watch helplessly as Shan Ziwei survived his attack with the aid of the light, and ended him with one last strike. 

Spring and Autumn’s Clubs SP decreased to zero. At the last moment before spiritual breakdown, he turned his head in disbelief and looked upstairs.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“The World.”

The person on the fourth floor looked down with an air of arrogance, like a god peering down at the mortals below. Spring and Autumn were so angry that his eyes turned red. If it wasn’t for that last shot of Shan Ziwei’s, he would’ve been able to pass the stage together with all his teammates. If it wasn’t for The World’s Healing Light, he could’ve killed Shan Ziwei, avenged his teammates, and passed the stage. If only… PGTlf6

Unfortunately, there were no ifs in this world.

Shan Ziwei took several steps backwards, distancing himself from Spring and Autumn. He watched as the tall man hunched his shoulders, his huge shield falling to the ground with a dull thud.

Under spiritual breakdown, Spring and Autumn didn’t go crazy or run away. Instead, he turned to stare at the ruins where the monster and his teammates were buried, and spoke with turbulent emotions.

“Mortal Realm, Sky’s Edge, how could you leave me behind?” hPM9cK

“We don’t ask to be born on the same month, day, and year, but the date of our deaths must not differ.”

Then, Spring and Autumn pressed the golden spear against his neck and followed his teammates to the other side.

“”

It wasn’t hard for Shan Ziwei to imagine how the real Spring and Autumn must be cursing the system vehemently as he watched his character go through spiritual breakdown; he was a fellow sufferer. This game’s spiritual breakdown couldn’t be described as anything but an enormous pit. iX7yHY

Although he felt somewhat sympathetic, Shan Ziwei still happily stepped forward to pick up the white chess piece on Spring and Autumn’s corpse.

Ah, he was indeed worthy of being called a high-level player, it was actually a white bishop piece. At this point, Shan Ziwei also knew how hard it was to deal with pieces above knight level. A bishop piece was already an impressive chess piece, but he seemed to have a chess box in which there seemed to be, maybe, perhaps, a complete set of chess pieces.

Shan Ziwei, who hadn’t even known the worth of what he possessed, was shocked silly. Then he heard steady footsteps behind him. He turned to see The World walk out of the building and stop not far from him.

Although The World was part of the new group of players, he was the only player that Shan Ziwei had a positive impression of. Don’t even mention how he’d helped him previously, if it wasn’t for that last spell from The World, the one trash talking the system right now would be him.  PzSKkR

Shan Ziwei thanked the other party with a sincere “Thank you.”

The World, who stood opposite him, shook his head, as if to say no need for thanks.

Thu-dump. Shan Ziwei’s heart shook violently as he suddenly experienced deja vu. This familiar healing! This familiar posture! It was really similar to –

As if to confirm Shan Ziwei’s thoughts, The World raised his hand and took off the protective mask on his face, revealing a very handsome visage. EbT4nZ

He stood opposite Shan Ziwei, holding the protective mask, his tousled black hair half covering his black eyes, and revealed the root of his overwhelming familiarity.

It was host.

Chrysanthemum Garden.
