Chapter 281 I Picked Up Trash on the Battlefield of National Destiny 37 (The End)
Time flowed slowly in a breathtaking calm.
In the tenth month, Zhou Jue looked at the numbers on his bracelet. After the long string of 9s, there was finally another digit.
She had accumulated enough points, but she wasn't in a hurry to make a purchase.
In the eleventh month, in a hidden joint operations room, Jiang Zhe, Vasily, and Scott, these former adversaries, stood side by side, staring at the constantly changing total figure on the central screen.
The numbers on the screen showed that only tens of thousands of digits remained to reach that astronomical goal.
The entire planet Earth, from the players on the battlefield to the people on the planet, is waiting.
"Brother Tongzi, double-check it one last time." Zhou Jue's voice rang in his mind.
"Host, don't worry!" The system's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement: "I've already infiltrated this broken system like a sieve. All that's missing is its core. That thing is like a suicide truck. If I touch it, a distress signal will be sent out, and there's no stopping it."
"Therefore, I must wait for Lao Jiang to activate the barrier first and 'pull' this planet out of the Star Network before I can take over."
"Understood." Zhou Jue's gaze also turned to the light screen.
The three groups—Zhou Jue, the Blue Star Alliance, and a group of awakened NPCs led by the quartermaster—are all ready.
"They're here!" Wolf's voice trembled slightly.
The numbers on the screen finally crossed that legendary threshold.
99,999,999.
"Now!" Jiang Zhe roared.
"Move!" Scott gave the order almost simultaneously.
Zhou Jue's system instantly released a massive data stream, like an invisible fog, enveloping the entire communication network of the national destiny battlefield.
[Interference has occurred]
At the same time, the awakened NPCs launched a massive uprising, drawing the attention of the national destiny system.
[Warning! NPC riot detected. Data extraction mode initiated...]
Jiang Zhe pointed his finger heavily at the item that lit up after being unlocked.
【Buy】
【use】
He didn't pause at all, completing the two movements in one smooth motion.
Almost at the same time, Zhou Jue also pressed the purchase button, but she didn't use it; she simply put the card into her personal space.
The moment Jiang Zhe used the [Planet Barrier], everyone on the entire battlefield of national destiny, and even on the other side of Blue Star, felt a strange change.
The sky seemed higher and farther away.
The faint sense of oppression in the air disappeared.
It was as if some invisible shackle that had been pressing down on his head had shattered completely with a crisp "crack" sound.
[WARNING! Connection to main system lost!]
[Warning! Sending signal! Data upload failed!]
[Attempting to reconnect... Connection failed...]
All the players on the battlefield of national destiny were on edge, listening to the voices belonging to the national destiny system.
The high-ranking officials of Blue Star, who knew the truth outside the battlefield of national destiny, also stared nervously at the sky.
Only the other citizens of Earth, upon suddenly hearing the system's voice on the Sky Live broadcast, were somewhat confused, but they all subconsciously felt that something major had happened, and looked at the Sky Live broadcast with varying emotions.
......
"Done!" Brother Tong cheered excitedly. "Host, it's now like a single-player game with the internet cable unplugged! I've taken over!"
The next second, under everyone's expectant gaze, a brand new announcement, both gentle and solemn, resounded throughout every player, every NPC, and every corner of the planet.
【announcement:】
[Congratulations to all members of Blue Star! Through your tireless efforts and unity, you have successfully broken free from the coercive control of the national destiny system.]
From this moment forward, all domestic disasters caused by the national destiny system within the Earth's borders will cease.
All players currently on the battlefield of national destiny will be teleported back to Earth in 10 minutes.
The original 'Battlefield of National Destiny' will be retained as the special trial space 'Star Path', with its existing missions and reward system.
All citizens of Earth who are 18 years of age or older may freely choose to enter or leave the planet.
Within the 'Star Path' space, when vital signs drop below the critical threshold of 10%, a forced protective teleportation will be triggered, returning the user to Earth.
May the blue planet have a bright future, a path ahead as radiant as the stars.
The announcement is now complete.
The whole world was silent for three seconds.
Then came earth-shattering cheers.
"We won! We won!"
"We can go home now!!"
"Waaaaah... Mom, I can go back now..."
"Waaaaah... They can come back now, that's so good. If only my brother could have held on a little longer... Waaaaah."
"Pinch me right now! What happened? Can you hear me? They can come back!"
"Ahhhh, I didn't hear wrong, it's over, it's all over."
On and off the battlefield, countless people wept with joy as they embraced their comrades. Regardless of their skin color or nationality, they all shared one identity at this moment—survivors.
In the Dragon Kingdom's rest hall, Jiang Zhe swayed and was caught by Lin Feng and Wolf Brother.
Tears streamed down the old man's face as he looked at the cheering crowd, repeatedly muttering, "It was worth it...it was all worth it..."
Those more visionary leaders, after a brief moment of excitement, immediately grasped the deeper meaning behind the announcement.
“Star Path…” In the Dragon Kingdom’s command center, a general murmured to himself, “It has left us an upgrade package that allows us to develop without risk.”
“That’s right.” Another European Union leader’s eyes lit up: “We know about the StarNet and the dangers outside. Now, we have a springboard to catch up with without any worries.”
This outcome is far better than mere liberation.
...
Amidst the cheers, in a secluded corner, Zhou Jue looked at the quartermaster-007 in front of him, and the dozens of NPCs behind him with sharp eyes and solemn demeanor.
"This is the end," Zhou Jue said. "What are your plans?"
The quartermaster fell silent. Yes, it was over.
Before these avengers could even contribute anything, the enemy had already fallen.
Their home planet has been destroyed, and they can't go back.
“You can stay here,” Zhou Jue said. “I can designate a separate area for you. You can develop freely, or continue to be your NPCs.”
The quartermaster's eyes were full of confusion as he looked at Zhou Jue, the NPC (player number 1024): "And you? Where are you going next?"
He paused, then asked the question that concerned him most: "Has the culprit, the main system, completely disappeared?"
“I want to go back to my hometown,” Zhou Jue replied. “As for the real culprit, it is still far away. This one is just one of its countless henchmen.”
"Far?" The quartermaster clenched his fists. "How can we find it? I only want revenge!"
“That road is too far, so far that I still don’t know where it ends.” Zhou Jue looked at him.
“However,” her voice was soft but clear, “I will stand before it one day.”
The quartermaster's eyes lit up instantly. He knelt on one knee, and all the NPCs behind him followed suit.
"Please take us with you!" His voice carried a resolute determination, as if he were risking everything.
"We are homeless, and our only obsession is revenge."
"If one day you meet that enemy, please let us, with our own hands, strike the final blow for our world!"
Zhou Jue looked at them, at those faces filled with sorrow and determination.
"Okay." She nodded.
She raised her hand: "Don't struggle."
With a flash of light, the quartermaster and his companions vanished from their spot and were collected into the secret box that represented this world.
Zhou Jue did not communicate with Lao Jiang again, nor did he appear as an NPC again.
In this last month, Brother Tongzi is busy writing more comprehensive rules for the new "Star Path" system to make it more suitable for the development of Blue Star.
Meanwhile, Zhou Jue, accompanied by the quartermaster, continued to awaken the NPCs whose souls still remained, collecting them one by one into the secret box, while also perusing the history of this parallel world, Blue Star.
She also took some time to forge several interesting weapons using the materials she found.
[Teleportation countdown: 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1.]
A flash of light, and Zhou Jue's figure vanished silently from this world.
After the people on Earth calmed down, many of them went back to the battlefield, but this time, it was voluntary.
Jiang Zhe returned to the battlefield. Looking at the environment, he suddenly remembered something, raised his bracelet, and prepared to contact Merchant 1024 to express his gratitude.
I searched through all my contacts, but 1024 had disappeared.
"Where's the boss?" he asked Lin Feng beside him. "Businessman 1024, have you guys seen him?"
Everyone was stunned. Yes.
After the victory, the two mysterious NPCs who had been present throughout the entire battlefield never appeared again.
Soon, they discovered that the 0714 Cleaner NPC who had helped them in the past had also disappeared.
They are like a legend, appearing at the most crucial moment and then quietly disappearing without a trace after everything has settled down.
