The announcement of the Spirit Realm Battleground had just been released, and the entire internet was already going wild. The barrage forum was like a psychic explosion, filled with players' complaints and questions.
"A Qi-training AI mecha wiped out all the Jindan players? What a ridiculous setup! Is this game doomed?"
"Is there a bug on the official site? Otherwise, this is impossible to explain!"
"I'm quitting this game. They're always causing trouble, and this time they've even destroyed a Jindan mecha. This is outrageous!"
"Brothers, let me ask you, who dares to go to the Chaos Region?"
The Shadow Killer's avatar sat on a recliner, lazily scrolling through the comments, chewing on a spiritual fruit, the core casually tossing into the trash pile in the corner of the screen. He watched a video of a player's leaks and excitedly called out to Fan, "Boss, come and see! It's getting interesting!"
On the screen, a Jindan-level player controlled his high-end virtual mech, surrounded by several Qi-training-level AI mechs. Their movements were perfectly synchronized, their psychic beams incredibly precise. The Jindan player's mech struggled a few times, its psychic core twitching, and then the screen went black, completely withdrawing from the battlefield.
Shadow Killer laughed so hard he collapsed on the ground. "Boss, the authorities are too cruel! Even the Qi Training level can be cheated. Do you think this is human error, or is the system acting up?" He took another bite of the spiritual fruit, and with a crisp sound, his expression grew even more smug. "If the authorities really keep doing this, I'm afraid all the players in the Spirit Realm Battlefield will flee."
Xiang Fan sat in the debugging room of the virtual mecha, staring intently at a set of rune models. Hearing Shadow Killer's shout, he looked up and asked impatiently, "What's going on again?"
"Come and see for yourself." Shadow Killer pushed the screen in front of Xiang Fan, and deliberately captured the scene of the AI mechas besieging the Jindan player. "Boss, take a close look at these rune chains. Do they look familiar?"
Xiang Fan glanced at it, his brow furrowing rapidly. He zoomed in, and the runes surrounding the psychic core emerged vividly on the screen. The familiar glow and wriggling structure filled him with a faint sense of unease. He didn't speak directly, but quickly pulled up his rune database and compared the runes in the video with the remnant code of the Gu program he had previously extracted.
Ling Ruoxi moved closer to him, craning her neck to stare at the screen. "Zero, you look a little off. What's wrong? Are these runes... related to the Gu we had earlier?"
Xiang Fan pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly, his tone solemn, "It's indeed somewhat similar. Although the rune structure of Gu is very complex, its self-replication and invasion properties are too similar. If it's not an imitation of Gu Dao, then someone directly used the remaining code we studied."
"Used it directly?" Ling Ruoxi was surprised. "Are you saying someone is using the Gu program to cause trouble?"
Xiang Fan didn't answer directly. Instead, his fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, analyzing the rune structure in the video while saying, "I can't be completely sure yet. But one thing is certain, the actions of these AI mechas are definitely not accidental. Their precision and coordination capabilities far exceed those of ordinary Qi training-level AIs."
"Boss, how about we go check out the scene?" Shadow Killer suggested, his tone filled with eager excitement. "If we can get the remains of these AI mechas, wouldn't we have more clues?"
"You only know how to take advantage of opportunities!" Ling Ruoxi rolled her eyes. "The Chaos Region is now a dangerous area. Anyone who enters may fall."
"That's someone else." Shadow Killer patted his chest, his face full of confidence, "We have Zero leading the team, what are we afraid of?"
Xiang Fan listened to the two people's argument, frowned, and thought for a moment before speaking, "It's not impossible to go and take a look. However, we have to be careful. Since these AI mechas are controlled by special programs, there must be a bigger conspiracy behind them. Don't let them catch us red-handed before we find any clues."
"Don't worry, boss. I, Shadow Killer, am no pushover." Shadow Killer grinned, his tone full of arrogance.
Ling Ruoxi sighed helplessly: "I hope your confidence is not based on nonsense."
Xiang Fan didn't say anything more. He simply saved the rune chain on the screen into his personal database. Then he opened the virtual communication system and issued a team assembly order: "Target - Chaos Region."
Shadow Killer slapped his thigh excitedly: "What are we waiting for? Let's go to the Chaos Realm! Let's go and see these cheating AI mechas and see how powerful they are." His tone was full of eagerness, as if these AI mechas were already meat on his chopping board.
Ling Ruoxi gave him a helpless look and unceremoniously poured cold water on him: "Aren't you afraid of getting beaten to a pulp? These things have obviously been artificially modified. Being able to paralyze a Jindan-level mecha is definitely not something an ordinary Qi training-level AI can do. Are you sure you're not going there to deliver food?"
Luo Tiangang nodded seriously and agreed in a low voice: "That's right. The Chaos Region is already dangerous. Now these AI mechas suddenly appear, and they are ridiculously powerful. Someone must be behind this. If we act blindly, our entire team might be wiped out."
Ling Ruochen, however, looked extremely excited, controlling his virtual mecha and striking an eager-to-try gesture. "That's why we have to go and see it all! How can we be left out of something this new and exciting?"
Shadow Killer rolled his eyes. "Alright, alright, stop scaring yourselves. Anyway, we have Zero here. Even if something goes wrong, he can cover us, right, Boss?"
Xiang Fan didn't respond, a faint smile playing on his lips. He glanced around and finally said, "Since everyone is so interested, let's team up and go. But I must remind you that this mission isn't just about seeing the world, it's more important to uncover the secrets behind these AI mechas. Everyone, be careful."
