Chapter 56: First and Second Updates Players Open Warrior Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lung and Kidney…
"He's Kei--!"
These words, coming from Kirihara Akaya's mouth, inexplicably carried a certainty.
Echizen Ryoma chewed on these words.
Because he's Yagi Kei, he'll be ahead... right?
While Echizen Ryoma was still stuck on this sentence, the situation on the field was still escalating.
The match was 5-4, 40:40,
The player's health bar is attacked by the dungeon BOSS at the same rate.
After scraping for a long time and barely scraping off one tenth of the energy, the player's energy bar has been emptied more than once.
Fortunately, there was enough food in my backpack, otherwise I would be in danger today.
The negative debuff of the special BOSS in the hidden copy returned to silence after just a moment of relaxation, and honestly played a weakening role.
To some extent, it seems that we don't have to worry about a special boss suddenly coming out with a burst of power and catching the player off guard in a short period of time...
The player continued to attack while thinking, without stopping.
The more Echizen Nanjiro was hit, the more genuine the smile on his face became.
Really, really, this kid is a supermodel, but he has such ability but still remains unknown.
I really envy this kid Longma. There is such an interesting guy in his generation that he can catch up with.
What good luck.
Even when it came to the crucial ball, he didn't show any panic on his face. His whole demeanor was flexible and full of interest.
The rapid-fire serve that came straight at his face was far beyond the level of a junior high school student in terms of both power and speed. Even high school students and some professional players could not reach this level.
And this kid, at this age, has already reached the end point that countless people cannot reach in their entire lives.
Horrible, horrible~ Really horrible~
Echizen Nanjiro was so excited that he even hummed a tune that he couldn't tell the tune from. He dodged to the side and swung the racket backhand.
Because the counterattack posture was a bit strange, the Rikkai people watching the game on the sidelines couldn't help but stop and look.
Holding the ball with my elbows slightly outward, I swing with my backhand in a downward arc, more like using something else than a racket...
For example, a katana?
Unable to see anything else, they looked away, letting it go and returning to the battle between Yagi Kei and the strange monk on the field.
But Liu took note of it. Not only did he take note of it, he also wrote it down in his data collection notebook.
Using the katana's return technique...
“——Here it comes!”
Marui Bunta lost his voice, and it was Echizen Nanjiro who fought back.
The arc of the flying yellow ball was too large and it suddenly shook, adding extra rotation so that the entire trajectory was up and down, with too high a frequency of ups and downs. No matter where you start swinging the racket, you may not be able to accurately capture the landing point of the ball.
Moreover, this ball was extremely powerful.
Even though I was only looking at it with my naked eyes, the yellow ball was like the center of a storm. A dense, raging wind was swirling around it, roaring and swirling like a whirlpool.
The wind pressure was so strong that even people standing outside the field could feel the terrifying power of this ball.
"Yagi!" Jack Sangyuan clenched his fists, and worry was faintly written on his bronze face.
Knowing the strength of the younger generation is one thing, but it doesn’t mean that you won’t be worried and afraid during the process.
He couldn't help but move his feet, but Niou Masaharu, who was leaning on one leg to balance, stretched out his arm and stopped him gently.
"Calm down, puri~ Kuwabara," a leisurely rising voice sounded in my ears.
Jack Sangyuan's fists were still clenched. He turned his head and looked over.
Niou Masaharu smiled, his eyes slightly shifting from the corner of his eye, "It wouldn't be bad if you trusted that guy a little more, piyo~"
Jack Sangyuan took a deep breath and, along with the others around him, focused all his attention on the court.
The player stared in near silence at the ball that spun towards him, creating a tornado.
Although, but...isn't this special effect a bit too much?
Do these dungeon bosses have a disease that requires them to activate special effects before they can attack?
The player facing this ball will feel the strong wind attack, although the player himself will not be affected by the BOSS's attack effects.
But can't stand the surrounding environment,
With a "swish", the net with the sleeves of the Rikkai University uniform flew away.
With a "swish", the clothesline used as the golf clubs on both sides flew away.
With a "Swish", Genichirō Sanada, the referee in the middle, flew... How else could he fly if not like this?! !
Slowly, he extended his hand towards Sanada, who was folding his arms in the air, with a dark face and was speechless, with only six things to say.
For a moment, everyone in Rikkai didn't know whether to focus on Sanada, who was being swept higher and higher in the air by the tornado, or on the younger generation who was about to face the super tennis tornado and compete to be the one chasing the wind.
Not to mention Rikkai University, even Echizen Ryoma had never seen such a scene.
Although he was thinking that his strange old man had hidden his strength from him until now,
But what’s more important right now is their safety!!
The super tennis tornado has expanded to an almost terrifying extent. Except for Echizen Nanjiro, who is leisurely holding his racket with his arms folded and still maintaining a hermit-like appearance with a fake smile,
Almost everyone else suffered.
One by one, the Rikkai people desperately pulled at the person flying into the sky, passing and connecting with such difficulty—
Finally! Caught the black-faced god in mid-air... Sanada Genichirō!
Echizen Nanjiro seemed to be standing still with his eyes closed, but in fact, he was panicking inside.
It doesn't matter if one Sanada flies to the sky, but if thousands and thousands of Sanada fly to the sky,
This scene is very scary.
Seeing that Kirihara Akari, the last one holding onto the people flying into the sky, was about to leave the ground,
Echizen Ryoma immediately followed,
“—Catch me!”
"Qing Xue, you!"
Kirihara Akaya and Echizen Ryoma's eyes met, and Echizen Ryoma drank with difficulty.
"I'm %￥gulugulu&...so #￥gulugulu*) far behind@#gulu..."
…Although I didn’t hear what he wanted to say clearly, I unexpectedly got his meaning.
Kirihara Akaya shook his head with difficulty: "Run away quickly. Even you can't withstand such a strong tornado. Don't be so stubborn at this time. Saving your life is the most important thing!!"
Echizen Ryoma rejected Kirihara Akaya's signal to "retreat" and sprinted a hundred meters.
Without any defense, without any hesitation,
There wasn't even a hint of obstruction.
The scene of Calabash Brothers saving his grandfather is staged again.
Echizen Ryoma, OUT!
Now, eight people are hanging in the air like kites, seven from Rikkai University and one from Seigaku.
The only surviving Rikkai-sama became the hope of the whole village.
All the people in the air simultaneously opened their mouths wide and shouted out that sentence with their vocal cords rustled by the wind.
"Kyu/Yagi——quickly%￥#gululugululu...!!"
The players watched in silence as the alternative 'I Jump, You Jump' drama unfolded before their eyes.
It can’t be said to be good-looking, nor can it be said to be ugly, in short it is a compromise.
Anyone who can create game CG that allows NPCs to charge forward with their bodies and genuinely shout out attacks really needs to have an expert.
The chattering NPC, the dungeon boss pretending to be dead with his eyes closed, and the silent him.
The strong wind that Rikkai people think is irresistible is just a tennis ball in the eyes of players.
Silently enter the special effects, silently swing the racket, silently swing it back,
“…”
"Plop", "plop", "plop" sounded one after another, and a bunch of people fell to the ground in twos and threes.
One after another, they fell headfirst, and occasionally their raised legs flapped twice.
Regardless of the status,
In short, everyone landed.
The player hit back the ball with great momentum, but the net was gone.
Only Echizen Nanjiro was left on the opposite side. He calmly threw down his racket and spread his hands helplessly.
After all, the strings on the special racket had all broken when he turned around and hit the ball back.
"Well, congratulations, you win, young man."
Echizen Nanjiro said with a grin, "How is it, are you happy or not?"
"You hit back a goal that no one has ever hit back before. At your age, you can be said to have made history. You are much better than that brat in my family."
He stroked his chin, remembering something, "By the way, young man, are you interested in..."
The players no longer listened to what the special BOSS in the hidden dungeon was saying.
The player's only concern was the pop-up dungeon notification of [Challenge Successful].
【Congratulations on your successful challenge! 】
[The hidden dungeon, Samurai's Head, has refreshed the fastest clearance record! ]
Player: “…?”
Congratulations on getting EXP+2000! The hidden dungeon, Samurai's Head, has been made a repeatable weekly challenge.
Repeatability challenge... Zhou Ben?
The player has a subtle premonition.
The next second, the pop-up window in front of me suddenly shook violently, and a line of subtitles quickly popped up and refreshed.
【NEW! Advanced!】
[Hidden dungeon: Hand of the Samurai is now loaded. There are 6 days, 23 hours, and 59 minutes left until the challenge count (0/1) is refreshed...]
The premonition came true.
As expected, the sealed state of the special BOSS in the hidden dungeon is completely broken by the players layer by layer! ?
What kind of new reality version of 'If you're a player, you'll go down to the ninety-ninth floor' is this?!
The first layer is the 'warrior's head', the second layer is the 'warrior's hand', so do the third and fourth layers correspond to the 'heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys'?
According to the nature of this game where players clear the levels one by one, wouldn't it be the case that in the end the seal will be lifted and the person who will appear before the players will be called a 'real samurai'!
It is reasonable to suspect that this is because the planner did not want to make a new BOSS, so he directly pulled in a hidden special BOSS and let the players fight it bit by bit.
That's why I come to brush the weekly dungeon once a week...
Players noticed that the text of the props in the backpack changed, and finally it was arranged and combined into ['Samurai's Hand's Teleport Anchor Point (Can be teleported to Netlu Valley: Samurai's Hand Map at any time) (Can be placed)]
The player was silent, silently writing down the weekly dungeon run in his schedule notebook.
Echizen Nanjiro, who was still trying to persuade the silent Mushroom Head to become his disciple by using both emotional and logical appeals, was talking until his mouth became dry, but Mushroom Head showed no reaction at all, as if the phone was turned off.
Echizen Nanjiro: "..."
He slowly turned his head to look at the dusty Rikkai people who had pulled him out of the ground one by one, two by two, and scratched his neck.
"So, this kid... is always like this?"
The people in Rikkai were all wandering around in the wind, and they just nodded in unison without saying a word.
"...Then it's really not easy for you guys," Echizen Nanjiro finally managed to say this after a long while.
But... this kid has such strength, so it doesn't seem to matter if he has a bit of a weird temper...
For some reason, Echizen Nanjiro felt a chill on his back as he thought about this, as if something was entangled with him...
"——I'm back, Ryoma, uncle——"
There was a loud bang of the door opening, and Echizen Nanako opened the paper door leading to the court with some reluctance.
"Really? Uncle and Ryoma, how could you take my bicycle without putting it back properly? I need it tomorrow..."
"Oh..." Echizen Nanako murmured.
Because of the scene before my eyes,
Desolate, miserable, and indescribable.
After a long while, she slowly managed to utter, "Um... Uncle, was our house robbed by bandits while I was away just now?"
"Why is there... nothing here?!?"
She actually put it very mildly.
After all, everyone in Rikkai looked at each other, their eyes all looking down at the ground.
It's not that there is nothing.
There are still one, two, three, four... a total of eight pits!
——It was like being bombarded.
Look at the few people standing there covered in dust...if you don't know, you would think they are people who have sneaked in from Africa to dig coal.
The corner of Echizen Nanako's eye twitched, and as her sight swept across the eight pits and landed on the last one, she slowly tapped out a question mark.
"Ryoma... you put your head in the pit, is there something on your mind...?"
Echizen Ryoma: “…”
Although he wanted to explain, he was trapped for too long and could hardly speak, so he could only swing his legs twice in vain.
In the turbulent storm, Kirihara Akaya, who had forged a life-or-death friendship with him at first sight, rushed in just in time and judged the frequency of his life-or-death friend's legs swinging.
He clenched his left fist and knocked his right hand, then suddenly relayed, "He wanted to say—you're still far from it!"
Echizen Nanako: “…”
I tried my best. I really tried my best.
Whether it was the guests who were bombarded and standing here, or the guest who was bombarded and simply squatted next to the dragon horse sticker that fell into the pit, he was worried and enthusiastic about doing real-time translation.
Or maybe it was those two over there, Nanjiro Echizen and the mushroom-headed guest, standing there, one in front of the other, and staring at each other affectionately...
The entire picture presents a 4K naked-eye large-screen Syrian battlefield style.
For a moment, people who are here fall into a trance, as if they are in a dreamland.
Oh, so... Did she really go home, instead of traveling through time and space through the Well of Sin that went to the wrong temple or shrine and ended up somewhere else?
Nanako Echizen was speechless.
And the focus of the whole audience, where Echizen Nanjiro and Yagi Kei were, silence still spread.
The player finally accepted all the pop-up reminders and looked around.
The mushroom head moved, and Echizen Nanjiro immediately caught it and was about to speak -
The player quickly took out the teleportation anchor from his backpack and clicked it.
What are you mumbling about? Never mind, let’s put down the teleportation anchor first!
There was an unexpected "boom" and the ground shook violently.
The Rikkai people and Echizen Nanako who were staying where they were, looked at the huge figure slowly falling before their eyes, and fell into a unified silence for a moment.
The ground shook violently several times, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and successfully shook Echizen Ryoma out.
The dusty 'Prince' looked blankly at his surroundings which suddenly became bright, and then he looked up.
The sky fell.
A giant pixel chicken reigns supreme.
If it's just pixel chicken, that's fine.
Similarly, if it is just big, that's fine.
Speaking of big, you...
This is totally off topic!!!
At this moment, everyone stared, looked up, and silently looked at the pixel chicken that suddenly appeared, slowly asking the most sincere questions in their hearts,
"Is this thing...bigger than the last time I saw it?"
“…”
“………”
"Are you sure this is just a little bit bigger..."
Ryoma Echizen lives with the pixel chicken of the Seigaku Tennis Club day and night, and is arguably the person most familiar with the size of this species.
At this moment, I was watching the pixel chicken grow ten times and a hundred times its size in an instant, and I felt a little dazed for a moment.
Every day, everyone in the tennis club feeds snacks to the mascot of the tennis club, Pixel Chicken.
For example, there are cakes made by Kikumaru-san, sushi made by Kawamura-san, cookies made by Fuji-san, hamburgers made by Atao-san, and some other miscellaneous things made by famous but unknown seniors.
Although I haven't done a serious statistics, the amount of food a pixel chicken eats... is comparable to that of a pig of the same level!
And now, there's a Godzilla-sized pixel chicken.
Rounding it off, that's a pig the size of Godzilla...
Godzilla-sized pigs...
Beads of sweat slowly rolled down Ryoma Echizen's forehead. Although it was not right to say this now, would his family really not be ruined?
The entire Seigaku Tennis Club...can't even afford a Godzilla pig, right?!
The only person in the room who remained calm and composed, Echizen Nanjiro, slowly took off the sunglasses that had appeared on his face.
He crossed his arms and looked at the chicken that was as tall and majestic as a mountain. The chicken was not the point; the point was the person on top of the chicken.
Chicken feathers fluttered across the man's cheeks without any wind, and only the mushroom head, like an iron pot cover, remained motionless like a mountain.
Silence, silence is the Echizen otaku today.
There are so many things to complain about that I don’t know where to start.
Tornado Ball, Godzilla Chicken, and the Man Riding a Chicken...
The players looked at the successfully deployed teleportation anchor with satisfaction.
Now you can see it all at a glance!
Only a world that satisfies the players can be achieved!
In the end, Rikkai Dazhong succeeded in catching the cat, but don’t ask how they did it.
The result is great, everything is fine.
"…Excuse me, we'll leave now."
The dusty-faced Sanada led the dusty-faced Rikkai public to silently apologize to the Echizen family.
Although they are not the main culprits, the real culprits are among them.
As the head of Rikkai University, Sanada set an example and took the main responsibility.
At the temple gate, Echizen Nanjiro led Echizen Ryoma and Echizen Nanako out. He waved his hand without paying any attention to Sanada's apology.
"Well, it's just a little cleaner. It saves the effort of cleaning. The temple abbot won't care about such a small detail. It's okay~ It's okay—"
"...Is that a bit cleaner?"
Kirihara Akaya couldn't help but whispered, but Marui Bunta poked him and he shut up immediately.
Echizen Ryoma slowly made up for it in his heart,
It's not just clean, it saves the effort of cleaning... it's almost razed to the ground.
The house is completely bare.
Sanada pulled up the brim of his hat and said, "I'm so sorry, if it's okay..."
Echizen Nanjiro rolled his eyes. "How about this, if you really feel bad about it, why don't you just take that Godzilla in the backyard? It's a good deal, right? We can still negotiate, brother! Don't leave so fast!!"
Godzilla was finally left behind.
Because no one can move it.
Although it is Godzilla, they thoughtfully left a space for the stadium.
So that the bare house suddenly became full, it was both empty and full.
Those who don’t know would think it is just like this at first glance, and might even sigh, “What a unique decoration.”
Echizen Nanjiro extended his hand and said slowly, "Even if you don't take that Godzilla away... you can still keep that kid here..."
Echizen Ryoma shuddered when he heard this, and looked deeply at Echizen Nanjiro, with whom he had been friends for more than ten years.
Echizen Nanjiro noticed and looked over, "What's wrong, Ryoma?"
“…”
"No, nothing..."
Echizen Ryoma silently pulled at the brim of his hat, looking at the backs of the Rikkai people who had hurried away in a moment. He wanted to say something but suddenly remembered the key point.
"By the way, what exactly are they here for?"
“…”
Echizen Nanjiro was unsure: "Is it an exorcism?"
Echizen Ryoma: "...Exorcism?"
Nanako Echizen nodded: "Yes, she seemed very anxious when she came here."
Echizen Ryoma slowly turned his head and looked at the huge Godzilla chicken shadow again. He endured it for a moment and finally said,
"So, they're... leaving the evil they've exorcised in our house?"
Echizen Nanjiro: "..."
Echizen Nanako: “…”
It seems like the connotation of evil has suddenly become greatly enhanced!
Nanjiro Echizen got a headache when he thought about the thing in the backyard. He pressed his forehead and refused to think, "Never mind! Anyway, I need to have a good rest now. I haven't exercised my muscles for a long time, and I feel a little weak all of a sudden.
He turned around and said in a very arrogant manner: "Nanako - what are you having for dinner?"
Nanako Echizen was happy at the thought and smiled, "It's the broccoli you like, Ryoma!"
Echizen Ryoma, who was about to go upstairs, turned around and said, "?"
Nanako Echizen added fuel to the fire: "I know you like broccoli, Ryoma. It just so happens that the supermarket has a super large broccoli today. I waited for a long time before I was eligible to buy it!"
She glanced at the time and said, "Ah, it's going to be delivered soon!"
Echizen Ryoma: No, when did he start liking broccoli...
As I was hesitating, I heard the rumbling sound of a truck starting up.
With a quick drift, he braked 360 degrees in front of Echizen's house.
For some reason, Echizen Ryoma's eyelids twitched.
This familiar style, this premonition of something about to be created...
With a bang, the truck's driver's door flew open, and a short person jumped out from the driver's seat. He jumped up and down, carrying a huge cauliflower on the truck's roof and heading straight for the Echizen residence.
Echizen Ryoma had a PTSD attack and took a step back.
The delivery driver braked in time, thus preventing the Echizen family from becoming a shooting star.
But that’s not all.
When Echizen Nanako signed the bill of lading, Echizen Ryoma stared at the figure wearing a hat stacked on top of a hat and a driver's suit with "Rikkai Express, your blind choice" written on the back. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she looked.
How could it be so familiar, whether it was the creator's silent style, or the outfit and the action,
The answer is on the tip of my tongue, only the last point is missing.
And from the distant horizon, a group of black shadows suddenly rushed over, running and shouting,
“——Kyuu!!!”
"—Where have you been again?! Kei!!!"
"Don't rob the truck on the side of the road! You don't have a driver's license, don't drive it recklessly! Return it now!!"
Echizen Ryoma watched helplessly as the people from Rikkai who had just left came back, searching through trash cans, roofs and eaves, and even the homeless people on the corner.
After a while of shaking and comparing, several people looked solemn.
"Is it him?"
"...It doesn't look like it, it's not that high."
"What if it's a cushion?"
"Not really. He doesn't look like a law-abiding person. He just lies here and doesn't go out to rob or even cause any trouble. He's just an ordinary homeless person!"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized
"You're right, this is very unusual!"
"Then the next one!"
Echizen Ryoma, who witnessed everything, watched helplessly as the dusty Sanada and the Rikkai group passed by, raising a cloud of dust.
Pause,
The passers-by all turned back and picked up Echizen Ryu, who was looking at them with a puzzled look on his face. He immediately looked down, left, right, and everywhere.
"Report! This one is just as short, isn't it Kei?"
The equally short Echizen Ryoma: "..."
"Even though he's just as short, this guy is a first-year at Seigaku!!"
"Ohhhh sorry sorry!!!"
The lifted Echizen Ryoma was quickly put down again. With Echizen Ryoma as the center and Echizen Nanjiro as the radius, the Rikkai people continued their search.
"No! Not here either!"
"Damn it, he's really good at hiding! Next one!"
"--yes!!"
With a chorus of cheers, everyone ran away in a dusty state.
They all ignored the delivery man in front of Ryoma Echizen, who was so weird that he couldn't be more weird.
Echizen Ryoma: “…”
Could it be that these people have become abnormal after spending so much time with Yagi Kei?
It's so obvious even though it's already here!!
"——Signed, thank you for the delivery,"
Echizen Nanako gently handed back the delivery note.
The deliveryman opposite accepted it and nodded silently.
He carried a huge cauliflower and slowly stared at the three of them...
Echizen Ryoma,
The locked-down Echizen Ryoma: "..."
Realizing something, he slowly raised his head, looking at the huge cauliflower that was like a mountain, and then looking at himself who was as small as an ant in comparison.
This has completely surpassed the level of trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm? ! !
Echizen Nanako: "What's wrong, Ryoma? Come and help carry it back?"
Echizen Nanjiro: "Yeah, yeah, youngster, you can't say you can't handle such a small thing, right? Although this thing looks big, it's just a cauliflower, don't worry——"
Echizen Ryoma was silent, and slowly looked at the dead fish eyes carrying the cauliflower hat and the mushroom head under the hat.
Mushroom Head said nothing, but pushed the cauliflower forward sincerely and eagerly.
It can easily lead to a great crisis,
Nanako Echizen, who was confused, and Nanjiro Echizen, who was still saying "Don't worry", were caught off guard and were elbowed and sent flying on the spot.
“…”
Echizen Ryoma couldn't laugh.
Is he going to die today?
