First Player

Chapter 356 Chapter 354·"I won't compete with you to clear the level perfectly"

"Coordinates (298, 198, 2), critical line of the East District, Building 2, Huajie Street (code word)."

Under the night sky, a man wearing a white robe squatted in the snow. In his hand, the dark communicator was glowing red, and someone was talking to him.

"Target confirmed."

"Listen carefully, this assassination is only allowed to succeed and cannot fail." The man in white robe said: "I have found clues. The guy inside is the key mission of the entire copy. Even Princess Tulip stores his Portrait, there must be something wrong with this person.”

"But I heard that this person is played by Su Mingan..."

"Do you think I don't know?" The man in white robe sneered: "Otherwise, what else do you want? Don't do anything tonight, wait until the end? Wait until this person kills us all?"

"..."

"Listen up, Yax." The man in white robe said to the communicator: "I know that you have the ninth level of firearms specialization. If you deliberately miss the target because you are afraid of offending him later, I will let the storm I will punish your family."

"...Please don't do this. I will do my best."

"And you, Luna." The man in white robe turned his head and looked in the diagonal direction.

There, a vague figure stood there. The man was slim and graceful, with long hair flying, like a crescent moon standing in the snow.

"You also have to take action. Just three minutes later, at the critical moment when they are discussing the rules, rush in and use your props."

"I will." The illusory figure said.

"This is the assassination with the highest chance of success." The man in white robe said to the communicator: "The people from Berg Island have helped me scout this place. Now will be the best opportunity. If you don't obey the order, it will break. Regarding the Storm Division, I will make you regret it in the next dungeon. Remember your goal and don’t be troublesome. After success, escape immediately, don’t be obsessed with fighting, and don’t pick up equipment, understand?”

"……clear."

There were several weak echoes from the communicator.

"Hmph." The man in white robe snorted softly.

He stood up holding on to the cold wall, snowflakes fell on his face, he waved his hands, and his palms were covered with a layer of strange green energy.

"In three minutes, start taking action." He issued the final order.

"Didi."

The red light on the communicator dimmed.

Snowflakes were flying, and in the corner, the hand of a green-haired woman lit up with red light.

As this light began to accumulate strength, burning marks began to appear on her body, and her expression became painful.

"Locate...the target." She whispered, looking in the direction of the second floor with hatred in her eyes:

"Noel, I will definitely make you pay the price..."

…

"...A very good rule? What's so good about this rule?"

In the room where the fire was dancing, Lin Yin looked puzzled:

"The combat power bonus is 100%. Aren't those weak teams going against the grain?"

"Why do you think they became a weak team?" Noel suddenly said: "Bad luck? Not enough observation skills? Or not smart enough to solve the problem? None of these, in my opinion..."

He paused for a moment and said calmly:

“They are weak only because they don’t see the big picture.

An ant suddenly gains great power, what do you think they will do?"

"Resist and besiege those strong teams that they did not dare to challenge before." Lin Yin responded.

"Some teams do." Noel said: "But if the strong teams still make them untouchable, then where will the attention of these people who suddenly become stronger focus?"

"..."

"Human beings are always good at fighting among themselves." Noel said: "What restricts them is just power. They have empty ambitions and no vision. Even if these people are given power, they cannot control the situation. The strength of human beings is based on their strength. On top of their desire for the future, these guys will only launch unprofitable battles and target themselves, and they will not see the key points of this game."

"But we are different." He arched his eyebrows and clasped his fingers, looking very happy: "...We have a person who has a great perspective on the overall situation. He will always let us win, no matter what the situation, even if Those weaker teams have strengthened many times over, too.”

Lin Yin frowned slightly.

She felt that Noel's words made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable. Noel seemed to have forcibly separated "humanity" from himself, judging others from a third-party standpoint.

...Is he ashamed of being human?

In other words, he feels that he is a nobler human being than others?

Lin Yin had not felt or sensed Noel's vague arrogance before. He only felt that he was a second player with high emotional intelligence and elegant manners.

But now...she gradually became aware of the arrogance and exclusiveness in his tone.

On the contrary, Su Mingan, whom she had always been very proud of, behaved no differently from an ordinary player in front of her. His words did not sound condescending, and even reminded her of the ordinary times she spent with her classmates.

…These two people really don’t seem to be from the same world at all.

But it happened that the first player and the second player united. And it seems that this second player has much more serious thoughts.

She had no intention of launching an attack at this time. Su Mingan made his own judgment, and there was no need for her to interfere in the relationship between top players.

She just frowned, expressing her dissatisfaction with this statement through her expression.

"People have always been good at fighting among themselves and walking calmly between the forces... Even if we give them power, they will only look out of place, and we have our own ways to restrict these guys..." Noel was still talking.

"...But that's not what I'm talking about."

Su Mingan finally spoke.

He seemed to have been focusing on reading the rules, and Noel had been talking for a long time before he started to speak.

"Ah?" Noel was obviously stunned.

At this moment, Noel's long speech criticizing humanity came to an abrupt end.

"Isn't that what you mean?" Noel opened his eyes wide.

"No." Su Mingan said, "I'm talking about the following rules that are very good, not the rules that increase combat power that you mentioned."

"...Really?" Noel blinked.

"It is definitely not good for us to increase others' combat power by 100%. There is nothing to say about it." Su Mingan said.

Noel's expression froze.

There was originally a contemptuous smile on his face, as if he was cooperating with his words of attack on human nature.

But now that smile has completely stopped at this moment.

...Did it turn out that he had misinterpreted it?

Lin Yin frowned: "..."

"So that's what you meant." He nodded and looked at Lin Yin innocently with his big blue eyes: "Miss Lin, you can pretend that I didn't say what I just said."

Lin Yin frowned even more: "..."

Her body that had been standing upright softened, and the vaguely stiff atmosphere around her began to soften.

Lu Shu stared straight at the rules like a telegraph pole, as if he didn't notice what was going on here at all.

A silent confrontation was resolved instantly at this moment.

Even in such a team, there are many contradictions.

"Look at the rules below."

Su Mingan didn't even raise his head, as if he wasn't paying attention to the situation here.

…

[Rule 06: (*Additional victory conditions) During the sea feast, some special situations will appear in Playa, such as: hidden treasure chests, special identity copies, sneak attack sirens, special NPC tasks, etc. They hide a shocking secret about the "Feast at Sea".

By reaching them, you can provide players with additional clues to explore. When the "exploration degree" reaches 100%, the player's team will directly win. 】

…

"It turns out that in addition to capturing points and killing people, there is such a special victory route..." Noel understood: "I understand - as long as one of these more than 3,000 players ends the feast at sea If he pushed his own exploration level to 100% before, then he would win directly. No matter how many points we earned by occupying points in these three days, it would be useless, because our points were settled after the sea feast. At that time, he Already victorious.”

"Yes." Su Mingan said: "I guess this method of victory will be directly related to perfect clearance."

Noel raised his eyelids.

The firelight danced in his blue eyes, and his expression was a little unclear.

"...I won't compete with you to clear the level perfectly." Noel suddenly said in the silence.

"Okay." Su Mingan said.

Lin Yin looked a little confused - what were these two people talking about?

"That's right, our team must dedicate one person to explore these." Seeing this, Noel explained: "Otherwise, we can't prevent someone from actually pushing the exploration level to 100% within three days. Once this happens It doesn’t matter how many points we get if we show up.”

"Although I think the victory conditions written in the rules should be difficult to achieve, it is just an ideal route, prepared for those lone rangers who do not have a squad, to prevent them from having nothing to do in the competition between the two groups." Su Mingan said: "But we can't let go of any possible opportunity... I have to be one step ahead of these people to push to 100%."

"...Then we are one less person?" Lin Yin smiled bitterly.

Su Mingan said: "With Sevia and Shadow helping you, it will be fine. I believe Noel also has the ability to lead these teams. Besides, I will still be with you in the early stages of capturing the point."

"Then we've finished reading the rules here." Noel stood up and stretched: "Then let's..."

Alcherev, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head at this moment.

"Wait..." he said, raising the cane in his hand.

The heat in the originally warm room suddenly rose.

"Bang——!"

The violent roar momentarily drowned out Alcherev's warning voice.

The fire suddenly appeared and jumped up from the wooden door, rolling in like a flood, completely submerging the room in an instant.

Seen from a distance, the small second floor was instantly enveloped in red light, as bright as a bright red firework in the snowy night sky.

…

"Oh...my God."

The sniper in the distance exclaimed: "Astrid's explosive flames are really scary... Although the price to pay is heavy, the fire is too romantic (English)..."

"Beware of sniping (English)." A reminder from his teammates came through the headset.

"What? He's not dead yet? Which guy survived (English)?" The sniper's eyes quickly closed the sniper scope.

In his field of vision, the house had begun to collapse, and bright firelight spread across the narrow area. In his opinion, even if God came down, he would not be able to save the people inside.

“No kill prompts… not a single one… (English)”

The words of his teammates came with some bitterness.

The sniper took a deep breath.

…

The fire is blooming.

The sofa and wooden table melted under the high temperature, and a man in white robe burst in from the fire, as if looking for something. After seeing a name pop up in his field of vision, he rushed in that direction without hesitation.

...This is his skill, an exploration skill, [Search for Enemy Lock].

It allows him to see the names of other players, no matter where the player is hiding, as long as the player is within five meters of him, he can see the other player's name.

At this moment, what appeared in his eyes was an extremely conspicuous name.

【Su Mingan】.

In the hands of the man in white robes, green energy suddenly burst out and rushed forward like a big snake.
