Li Qi: "No, 'Shadow' will definitely not let what happened during the day go by. Even if we don't take action, she will find a way to deal with the two of us."
So... we still need to take the initiative.
“We should do this…” Li Qi whispered something in Xiao Chengzhi’s ear.
As he listened to his words, Xiao Chengzhi's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
After a moment, he straightened up, a meaningful smile on his face: "Okay, let's do it this way."
………………
Night gradually enveloped the villa, and soon all the NPCs fell asleep. The toys "came back to life," and the awakened players quickly gathered in the darkness.
After leaving the villa, the group immediately searched for batteries in the garden.
[Ding—Battery deployment quantity doubled tonight]
Xiao Jin hadn't gone far when he heard the system's cold notification sound: [Battery contention time extended to ten minutes]
Xiao Jin leaped down from the height, and Mianhua landed lightly. She stretched her joints and turned to look around.
"Looks like tonight's going to be lively." Tong Xiaolu's springy rabbit hopped to her side, its metal legs poised to spring.
The increased number of batteries will only lead to more intense competition, and the longer the competition lasts, the more players will be motivated to win.
Chu Yuan's teddy bear dragged its broken leg over, cotton wool leaking from the wound, but he didn't care: "That old bastard will definitely cause trouble again tonight, so be careful."
He glanced at Xiao Jin: "By the way, when did you offend him? How dare you pull such a dirty trick in this kind of dungeon?"
Xiao Jin did not answer, her gaze sweeping into the depths of the villa.
The first batch of batteries was quickly updated.
The spawn locations are everywhere: courtyard, bedroom, dining room...
Through the glass window, Xiao Jin could clearly see a battery that happened to be in the center of the living room, floating in mid-air and emitting an alluring blue light.
Xiao Jin was the fastest; the moment he saw it, he rushed towards the battery, leaving the others who wanted to snatch it behind him.
She instantly leaped in front of the battery. The moment the doll's fingers touched the battery surface, Xiao Jin's body immediately trembled and returned to human size.
Xiao Jin also discovered that the battery's duration was no longer 5 minutes, but 10 minutes.
Suddenly, Xiao Jin caught a glimpse of a cold light out of the corner of his eye.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Jin dodged to the side, the metal fan blade grazing her neck and drawing a thin line of blood.
"Not bad." Sakurai Chinatsu chuckled as she put away her fan, her kimono sleeves fluttering. "But tonight, you won't be as lucky as last time."
Is she here for revenge? To avenge her stealing the BOSS's kill last night.
That wasn't all; Sakurai Chinatsu had clearly come fully prepared.
Behind her, three players from the blue team surrounded her at the same time—a ronin wielding a katana, a puppeteer covered in bandages, and a burly man carrying a rocket launcher.
The four of them worked together to surround and kill him!
Sakurai Chinatsu: "Although I don't know who you are, with such abilities, you are definitely not an unknown person. The leader of the Dark Chaser has a special relationship with you, so I will not allow you to become a major threat to the players of R country."
These few games show that the system prefers to let players fight each other, so if there is an opportunity to eliminate skilled players, Sakurai Chinatsu will definitely not give it up.
"Have you R country people always been shameless?" Xiao Jin sneered, holding his long sword horizontally in front of his chest. "Why say so much? A gang beating is a gang beating, why act all righteous?"
"Stop talking nonsense, let me see what you're capable of," Xiao Jin said disdainfully.
Sakurai Chinatsu unfolded her fan, covered her mouth and chuckled, seemingly unconcerned about Xiao Jin's words: "Little handsome guy, you don't understand! This is called tactics."
Before she could finish speaking, the puppeteer's bandages suddenly shot out, coiling around Xiao Jin's legs like venomous snakes! At the same time, the ronin's katana aimed straight for her throat, while the rocket launcher was aimed at her back.
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Jin's eyes, and he abruptly activated the [Desolate Barrier]!
Crimson runes exploded on the ground, instantly withering and breaking the bandages. She used the momentum to roll, parrying the katana with her longsword, while simultaneously drawing the Wheel of Fortune from her waist, aiming it at the rocket launcher and pulling the trigger…
"Bang!"
The freezing round hit the muzzle precisely, instantly freezing the rocket launcher. The burly man stared in horror at the weapon about to explode, and before he could let go, he heard a loud "BOOM!"
The shockwave from the explosion sent the four flying. Xiao Jin seized the opportunity to rush forward, stabbing his long sword into the puppeteer's chest, and then severing the ronin's wrist with a backhand slash.
"Fireworks, these are for you. Aren't they beautiful?" Xiao Jin teased as they landed.
Sakurai Chinatsu rolled awkwardly to avoid the attack, several cracks appearing on the fan ribs. She gritted her teeth and glared at the burly man: "Useless! You can't even control your own weapon."
The burly player lowered his head, his face pale.
Xiao Jin didn't give her a chance to waste words, and the blade went straight for her throat!
Sakurai Chinatsu hastily parried, but was forced back several steps by the blow. Her face turned pale, and she suddenly flung out a golden seashell.
The seashells shone brightly in the air, followed by several butterflies fluttering about, and twinkling stars glittering in the sky.
Xiao Jin immediately covered her mouth and nose to avoid inhaling the butterfly dust.
On the other side, the puppeteer manipulated a puppet to launch a sneak attack on Xiao Jin, but Xiao Jin managed to kill him in time, severing the silk threads on the puppet's head with his long sword, much to the puppeteer's surprise.
"What?! My puppet silk is a gold-grade artifact! You think you can cut it with that broken sword?!"
"Broken sword? Ha~" Xiao Jin stroked the broken shadow with one hand, as if mocking the puppeteer's ignorance.
On the other side, Sakurai Chinatsu's eyes flickered. She stared at the long sword in Xiao Jin's hand, and after a while, she smiled slightly: "You really need to practice your eyesight!"
To easily sever your puppet threads, it would require at least a +6 enhancement level. Do you know how many resources it takes to enhance a weapon to +6?!
The puppeteer fell silent. +6! For someone who doesn't have many enhancement stones and is already considered unlucky, this is a truly rare number.
Xiao Jin brandished his long sword: "What other skills do you have? If not, then it's my turn."
The way he said it implied that 'you can all go to hell.'
Sakurai Chinatsu didn't dare to be careless. She exchanged a glance with the other three, and then they rushed forward together.
Xiao Jin's longsword was sharp and swift, parrying the attack in front of him almost turning into a blur.
It must be said that the four people in front of him were quite troublesome. Xiao Jin fought against four people alone, and was eventually injured.
The crystallized armor showed signs of cracking, and several spirit stones had been used. However, Xiao Jin didn't suffer a loss; the burly player who had previously played with the cannon was sent by Xiao Jin to meet their Amaterasu.
A few minutes later, Sakurai Chinatsu's hair was disheveled, and there was a noticeable wound on her neck.
If she hadn't thrown out her prop in time to lock onto Xiao Jin, her neck would already be on the ground.
