Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Invasion.

The insect mother tapped her head on the ground a few times and regenerated immediately.

Nan Gua dragged it over and hit it with a few more fierce hammers, repeating this several times. She simply controlled the VX-89, smashed the giant magma worm's head with one hammer, and then sat down on the hammer head.

The juice burst out.

Although the opponent was the Zerg, the scene was extremely bloody and violent.

Lin Biege turned his head and retched: "Yue."

But Nan Gua was completely oblivious. She spread her legs, placed her hands on her knees, and looked at her teammates with a serious expression, "Is Xiaoying really fainted?"

Lin Biege shook his head: "No, I don't know. Maybe Shadow is pretending not to hear, just to let us fight for a while longer?"

"Don't say that about Xiaoying. She's a very nice person."

"She was pretending."

"Huh? Who said something bad about me?"

Finally, a voice came from the team channel.

"Xiaoying!" "Bad woman!"

Tao Ying glanced at the panel sleepily: "Oh, sorry, the bad woman seemed to have fallen asleep just now."

"You can sleep in this dangerous environment?"

"It's just a game."

The alarm on the optical computer assistant sounded. Tao Ying checked the time and realized that he had been playing games for more than nine hours today.

My physical strength in reality has almost reached its limit.

"The worm queen on our side is about to be resurrected. What about yours? Have you chopped it off?"

Tao Ying said slowly: "Just now, while I was resting, it ran to the lower level."

"You should chase after me!"

Lin Biege was already numb; her initial fear had long since vanished. She stepped on the sentinel bug's head, and all she could think about was getting home for dinner.

I am still so impatient and can't wait at all.

Tao Ying spread her hands, looking like "I really can't do anything about my teammates, I'm going to pamper you guys."

"Then let's move on to the next step. The two of you find a corner, put your heads in your hands, and put up your shields."

Lin Biege was alert: "Plan? What plan?"

Tao Ying took out an unknown black object tied with tape in his hand and grinned.

"Well, have you heard of Blunt Judge?"

"I've never heard of this mecha model before. Where is it from?"

Nan Gua swallowed and raised his hand weakly: "That's a high-explosive bomb. The kind that can blow up an entire building with just one small one."

Lin Biege: "? What's the point of taking out this item now?"

“It’s fun.”

Tao Ying weighed the bomb, with a hint of regret in her tone.

"I bought it on the black market for a million Spark Coins. I spent a long time refreshing before I finally bought it. It's a pity that the model is too small, otherwise it would look better when it exploded."

Lin Biege's alert level was raised to max.

"You, you don't want to...!"

"Well, I respect your opinion and resolve the battle quickly?" Tao Ying blinked innocently.

Then he dropped the bomb.

At this moment, the cat core on the upper level was still drawing circles in the corner, muttering something like "I'm ranked ninth on the ladder, but I have to be led by a newcomer. It's so embarrassing." Suddenly, a rumbling thunder was heard.

thunder?

But why is there thunder under my feet? Shouldn’t thunder come from the sky?

"Shadow, just wait for me!!!"

Lin Biege's screams were heard from the team channel. Mao He's face was dazed, and he seemed to have finally realized that the situation was not good.

The maze collapsed layer by layer, and a deep roar came from the earth.

The Hot Abyss Labyrinth exploded and collapsed amidst screams of joy.

…

Spark's World Broadcast, with large golden letters and bold font, crossed out several messages.

[System Announcement]: Congratulations to the Tactical Team - Space Ghost Team for challenging the Fram Star - Hot Abyss Labyrinth and successfully defeating the Insect Queen.

[System Announcement]: Congratulations to player Maohe for obtaining the hidden achievement "Newcomer, please guide me".

[System Announcement]: Congratulations to player S for obtaining the hidden achievement "Use the mysterious item obtained from the black market merchant to blow up the advanced copy."

[System Announcement]: Congratulations to player S for discovering the hidden dungeon, "The Boneyard of Xila Sin", at the bottom of the Hot Abyss Labyrinth.

Player B: "Oh my god, there's a hidden dungeon under the Reabyss Labyrinth?"

Player A, who was passing by, said: "I've played this dungeon thousands of times, but I've never seen this before."

"Maybe it's because you didn't buy the high-explosive bomb to blow up the copy. So who is so crazy?"

"Player S? Sounds like a familiar name."

"Huh? Is that The Player S from Lao San's video 'Constance E Speedrun Beginner's Tutorial'?"

Netizens specially added the definite article "The" to show her specialness.

On the other side, there were dozens of people in Maohe’s class group.

"Hahahahaha, how come Mr. Maohe is being led by a newbie? I'm dying of laughter. Aren't you supposed to be leading three newbies?"

"How do I get the 'Newbie, Guide Me' quest? What are the conditions for it? I want one too. The title is a cat. Too cute."

Maohe sent out a few emoticons of angry cats holding bricks.

"Stop it, you bunch of bad friends."

Mao Hesheng closed the chat window with despair.

Cat Core climbed up gruntingly, scraping at the rocks around it, and Kirisame E-0089 poked its beautiful head out from between the rocks.

Cat Core stood on top of the stone, surrounded by ruins.

High explosive bomb.

We were taught in military academy courses that the deafening sound just now was definitely a high-explosive bomb.

Maohe boasted that he was very familiar with the dungeon of the Abyss of Heat. This bomb was not a plot kill, so he had to bring it himself.

"Ahhhhhh who blew up the dungeon, who!!!"

Which good person bought a bomb to blow up the copy!!!

Who is it!!!

Who is the culprit? !

"Oh, Maohe, I was looking for you."

Tao Ying, the culprit, looked calm at this moment and greeted Mao He without any guilt.

Tao Ying waved towards Mao He: "The hidden copy is over here, but first I'll help you. Bigger, are you still alive?"

Lin Biege moved VX-89's fingers - this was the only part of the mecha exposed outside the stone.

She raised her middle finger.

"He's dead, don't worry about him."

Tao Ying laughed out loud: "I'm in pretty good shape."

Mao He helped and they dug together for a long time and finally succeeded in rescuing Lin Biege who was buried in the pile of rocks.

The first thing Lin Biege did when he came out was to clench his fists and immediately started a thrilling fight with Tao Ying.

In the end, Lin Biege couldn't bear to bully his fragile teammates and gave up.

…

We hurried along through the rocky ruins.

Ten minutes later, the four of them finally stood in front of the hidden copy.

Looking up, he saw a twenty-meter-high stone gate. The patterns on it were intricate and delicate, and some ancient characters were carved in the corners, attracting Mao He's careful study.

"Is this the secret dungeon?" Lin Biege looked at the mysterious giant door, thinking that there would be another bunch of Zerg inside. He looked constipated, "I don't want to fight anymore, really. I shouldn't have boarded this pirate ship..."

"There shouldn't be any monsters in there, don't worry."

"How do you know?"

"Just intuitively, Pumpkin, don't you think?"

"Well, let me feel it," Nan Gua put his hands on the door, muttered a bunch of words, and finally concluded, "I don't feel any spiritual power fluctuations inside."

Tao Ying: "Look, let me tell you."

Cat core: "..."

Where did this Space Ghost Girl Team come from? Is there a witch in the team?

Tao Ying climbed down from the mecha, put it back into the quick backpack, and took out the "key from nowhere" obtained from the novice tutorial from the backpack.

Don't know where? This is it!

Tao Ying took two steps, pretended to come to the giant door, and groped around for a while.

Then he took three steps back and wiped the dust off the ground.

An ancient keyhole was revealed.

"Wow, the keyhole is actually right here! How did I find it? What a coincidence."

After saying this, Tao Ying inserted the key expressionlessly and twisted it twice. Her movements were smooth and flowing, as if they had been planned in advance.

The giant gate trembled, and stones and dust fell to the ground.

Tao Ying stepped in without hesitation. Although several teammates were a little hesitant, they still followed her.

The stone door slowly closed behind them.

The sight before me was breathtaking.

This is a huge man-made underground space. The walls are covered with primitive murals of swords, spears, swords and halberds. Several people came closer to study it curiously. It seems to be an ancient Blue Star civilization.

The entire space is obviously very large, but there is nothing in it.

In contrast, it seems as if something is missing, and a sense of death and emptiness comes over one's heart.

Nan Gua suddenly said, "This place looks like a tomb."

"Really?" Lin Biege glanced at the name of the hidden dungeon. "The burial place of Xila Xin... Oh, right, this is indeed her grave."

I seem to have heard that the Blue Star people of that era liked to preserve the remains intact and put them in a rectangular box.

But the box is usually as big as a person.

"Where's the coffin? Where is the person buried?"

Tao Ying raised her head and pointed at the sky: "Here."

There was a suspended starship that could probably accommodate several thousand people.

"This is the starship of mankind's space travels!"

Mao He excitedly took out a rope from his backpack, swung the hook into the sky, and hung it firmly on the porthole of the starship.

She was very strong and climbed into the starship in just a few seconds using her grappling claws. Nan Gua was also very interested and followed her in.

Lin Biege stood under the rope, hesitant.

Tao Ying said to Lin Biege: "You're not going? There will probably be rewards in the starship."

Lin Biege hesitated for a moment.

"Maybe there are some food left from ancient times."

Lin Biege immediately decided: "Then I'll go and take a look."

Several teammates went in. Tao Ying walked up a few steps slowly, panting, and came to an unremarkable corner, pulling aside the vines on the wall.

It's time to get down to business.

There was a solid wall in front of him, and Tao Ying stretched out his hand with a calm expression.

The moment my fingertips touched the wall, ripples appeared. Blue electronic light flickered, and strings of code flashed before my eyes.

[Confirm root user permissions: S. The highest permissions have been obtained.]

【Hello, Creator, long time no see. 】

A warm electric current was released from Tao Ying's body.

The undulations of the wall grew larger and larger.

First, Tao Ying's palm passed through the layer of electronic information flow, then her arms, chest, and legs.

Tao Ying walked into the wall.

The third rule of programmers——

Remember to leave yourself a backdoor when writing the program.

·

Leimen City, Haitai Technology Company, "Spark" studio.

There are only about ten people in the office.

The grand occasion of the server opening is long gone. There are only a dozen people running such a large holographic game as Spark.

Now they are just a small workshop.

Irina - the president was taking a nap when suddenly the program rushed over.

The programmer slammed the computer in front of Irina.

"Something's happened to the president! Someone hacked into the game server! And changed the game data!"

Irina was temporarily making a poster for an artist who had resigned. She felt dizzy and glanced at the screen, which was full of red, blue and green.

Red is fine, but she can't stand green, thank you.

Irina said with a headache: "What's the point of showing me this? Tao Ying used to take care of all the procedural matters."

Tao Ying is a workaholic and her procedures are flawless.

The firewall has never been breached by outsiders over the years. Who on earth has such great ability to break the firewall set up by Tao Ying?

Irina speculated, "Are those people who were previously blocked here to take revenge?"

The programmer looked up with a look of despair under his eyes: "They have this ability, and they still enjoy bullying newcomers?"

"That's true. Forget it, let's fix it first. What data did this hacker change when he attacked the server? The leaderboard? Or the pay-to-win data? Let's roll back the version first and issue an announcement to appease the players."

"She, she didn't attack the server."

"Hmm?" Irina stood up. "What happened?"

Speaking of this, the programmer also looked puzzled: "Her entire invasion process was very invisible, it didn't seem like a revenge attack. If I hadn't happened to see a player submit a ticket, I wouldn't have noticed it at all."

"A new player reported a bug saying that the lower limit for selecting physical fitness for new accounts was set to F. I went back to check the code and found traces of the modification."

Setting the lower limit of physical fitness to F? What kind of ridiculous purpose is this?

"She didn't change anything else? Only this? What's her goal?"

"Oh, oh—it's not just this that's changed." The programmer adjusted his glasses.

As expected, she said, how could one change his physical condition by invading the first-level firewall?

Irina looked as if she understood everything, relaxed, and leaned back in the soft chair.

"What else has been changed?"

The programmer said seriously, "She's also got a new genetic condition, like a dust allergy... or something. It's a very rare condition anyway."

Irina took a sip of water and almost choked to death. She straightened up and squinted her eyes.

Concise and to the point, expressing one's own views directly -

"Is this hacker sick?"
