Gamers Are Fierce
Chapter 1026 - 25: Shock
[Shocking!!! Earth scorched, skyscrapers melting, suspected large-scale anomaly event out of control in Yin City (contains multiple images)]
[Linked post next door! This isn’t a mutation, it’s the battleground of a Lone Wolf Player against the Special Affairs Bureau!!]
[Is this the true strength of the first tier? Is a human-shaped natural disaster just like this?!]
[Live report from the front line! The Yin City building of the European Heavy Industry Group was destroyed by the aftermath of the battle, the group representative is adrift at sea, not daring to say a word (currently edited for the fifteenth time)]
[My uncle is an employee of the Prometheus Laboratory Company in Yin City, witnessed the whole process at the scene. Seen this kind of thing many times, I just want to say those who understand will understand, those who don’t, I won’t explain more, taste it yourself]
Li Ang glanced over, the entire webpage was filled with posts related to the event, each post having hundreds or even thousands of replies, with a mix of text descriptions and pictures, videos.
Li Ang roughly browsed, finding the earliest post could be traced back to after he breached the Special Affairs Bureau’s blockade of the Wanhe Residential Area.
Yin City, as an international metropolis with a population of over twenty million, hid many players,
ranging from Lone Wolfs like Li Ang who are carefully cautious and undisclosed,
to Mercenaries, Bounty Hunters like Wanli Fengdao,
as well as foreign organization agents, spies,
Brokers, Intelligence Merchants, Private Detectives...
Many people, diverse elements.
The poster of the earliest post initially thought it was an ordinary conflict, jeering along with commenters below, wanting to know which unlucky fellow dared to oppose the Special Affairs Bureau,
posting comments such as "Bold and seeking death!"
Only to realize this so-called "unlucky fellow" was breaking through barriers, violently scattering the Mobile Detachment, forcing the Special Affairs Bureau to activate emergency plans, mass evacuations,
The poster was within Yin City’s range, sensing the situation going wrong, abandoning posting pictures or comments below,
and directly ran away.
By the time Li Ang defeated the Water Elemental Giant under the cross-sea bridge,
The spectators of the post had transitioned from gloating to shock and disbelief, inquiring about his information.
Some proactive individuals, through the Tyrant Halberd in Li Ang’s hands, recognized his identity, causing a new wave of astonishment.
He was the eccentric man in the Dragon Head White Lab Coat, the owner of the Smut Melting Furnace Shop, and also the main force that killed a demon general in the Lost World.
His personal combat power ranked at least in the top fifty of the previous ranking.
After sorting out the above content, the bystanders expressed confusion and dismay. A player of this level is someone all forces would want to recruit, and it’s rare to see conflicts.
Besides, Li Rising usually had a good relationship with the Special Affairs Bureau, aiding each other during the Door Battle.
As further investigations continued, some personnel specializing in intelligence gathering released new content, confirming that earlier, the Special Affairs Bureau allegedly kidnapped Li Rising’s companion, sparking the conflict,
The specific reason might be related to Li Rising’s experiences before becoming a player.
With the release of related evidence, the bystanders were more gleeful, but this time their glee turned towards the Special Affairs Bureau,
mocking them for shooting themselves in the foot, being world-class in turning friends to foes.
Subsequent posts contained images and videos, partly released by delegations from European Heavy Industry Group and other forces, partly sourced from third-party forces lurking in Yin City,
Until Wang Buliuxing and Zhongli Mieming appeared, suppressing Li Ang,
The bystanders in the player forum sighed with regret.
The Special Affairs Bureau, after all, has a vast enterprise; Zhongli Mieming ranked ninth, and Wang Buliuxing ranked twenty-sixth before the personal combat power ranking update, with Cold Waterstone and Su Ni Sheng above them.
Despite Li Ang’s strength, facing multiple opponents consecutively would deplete him, and he would ultimately lose.
The bystanders lamented the pity and started to disperse, not expecting Li Ang to transform into a Deadwood Titan, effortlessly crushing Zhongli Mieming and Wang Buliuxing,
Nor expecting the Special Affairs Bureau to have a trump card comparable to a natural disaster, the Phantom Vermilion Bird.
When the Deadwood Titan and the Phantom Vermilion Bird were locked in fierce battle, the ground fractured, flames soared,
Those external force delegations, initially seeking to attack the Special Affairs Bureau’s methods using Li Ang’s example,
faced with this apocalyptic scene, dared not stay and hurriedly fled in embarrassment,
capturing images only with drones and low-orbit satellites.
Skyscrapers collapsed, steel melted, deafening roars echoed, the world changed colors.
The Deadwood Titan and Vermilion Bird were natural disasters in motion, their battle scenes even more shocking than the Earth’s players’ duel against the Desolated Lion in the Lost World not long ago—
In the Lost World, the building materials are all unknown metals, sturdier and more reliable; the external environmental damage from the battling sides was smaller.
Such exaggerated expressiveness silenced the bystanders on the forum,
Original sarcastic commenters quietly deleted remarks, even directly logging out of their accounts,
fearing Li Ang would see their comments afterward and trace them through the net—Li Ang killed the Red Eye Yellow Moth of the Seven Martial Seas, in whom the European Heavy Industry Group placed high hopes, just like that, and Europe didn’t even dare make a noise afterward.
Even more terrifying things followed,
After the appearance of Su Ni Sheng and others, all video feeds were cut, information isolated—drones and low-orbit satellites could only capture blurry images,
When the dust settled, the Titan and the Vermilion Bird dispersed,
Not a single organization, including the Special Affairs Bureau, the Global Occult Coalition, and the European Heavy Industry Group, offered any related explanations!
The headquarters buildings of European Heavy Industry, Federal Bureau of Investigation, etc., in Yin City were all destroyed, yet there was no protest, condemnation, or demand for compensation,
The most severely affected Special Affairs Bureau only stated that a mutation broke out, and the situation is now under control, reassuring everyone.
The collective silence of all organizations carried chilling implications,
The bystanders who originally watched on finally grasped the situation, no longer daring to speak carelessly—The Deadwood Titan clearly exhibited demigod-level strength, who knows if speaking impiously of a deity might evoke some mysterious sensing from them.
Li Ang leisurely finished reading most of the posts,
Including those with sensational headlines and vacuous content.
Such as [I declare Li Rising the first champion of the Kill Game S1 season!]
[The wrathful mighty natural disaster storming the Special Affairs Bureau, all for her? The untold story of Li Rising and Michael]
[Seeing you all discussing my brother Li Rising, I couldn’t help it anymore! Let me tell you the truth]
The tone of these posts’ main bodies was emotionally charged, claiming assuredly, detailing thoroughly, with imaginative flair,
As if they were at the battle scene in Yin City, witnessing Li Ang and the Vermilion Bird,
Only the content was empty and tedious, full of conjured conspiracy theories, sometimes even self-contradictory.
Li Ang, in a casual mood, finished scanning the posts and received a friend communication from [Twilight].
Twilight is the player nickname of Laura, the sister of the mule; she was introduced by Laura earlier to work as a cashier in Li Ang’s Smut Melting Furnace Shop, usually working in the Game Square, hence added as a friend by Li Ang.
Twilight: [Boss, are you there? Many customers have come to the store, all requesting surgery. Do you want to come to the square for a look?]
Customers?
Li Ang thought for a moment and understood, his information has been exposed, and by evaluating the battle scene, outsiders could easily conclude that Li Ang’s combat power ranks at least in the top five globally, if not higher.
Ordinary customers genuinely wanting a world top-five body modification surgery, Brokers looking to establish a relationship with Li Ang, and representatives from other organizations coming to initiate friendly interactions,
Must have already flooded the doorsteps of the Smut Melting Furnace Shop,
Startling Laura, who was manning the store.
"Tell them I’m very busy right now, no time to entertain."
Li Ang communicated through the friend link: "You also log off first, don’t accept their friend requests, so they won’t bother you.
I’ll handle it myself tomorrow or the day after."
"Okay, boss."
In the Game Square, Laura, wearing a purple unicorn headgear, sat behind the cashier, watching those major organization lobbyists, humble and respectful, crowding the store, feeling an inexplicable sense of absurdity.
