Chapter 396 Player Counterattack (11) - Second Mission
Ning Shu thought of something and sent a message to An Ran.
Upon receiving the message, Anran immediately sent a system notification to all players in the instance.
[Note: There is a task that requires the cooperation of players with special skills. Players with hypnosis skills or items should click the confirm button and enter the corresponding overall ability level.]
Players who heard the notification felt that this dungeon was really different; they had never done a dungeon quest like this before.
The system has assigned tasks to players before, but never this type. The current tasks sound like the system is assisting players in completing them from behind the scenes.
With a large number of players, many of whom have the same or similar skills, many players responded to this notification.
An Ran directly selected the person with the highest overall ability level who was closest to Ning Shu and sent the message there.
After Ning Shu obtained the other party's location, he had Zhi Ge lead the way, and they instantly appeared in Guicheng from Youcheng.
At that time, many players were lurking nearby, seemingly waiting for orders.
When those people saw them suddenly appear, they all looked at her warily.
Ning Shu didn't know who the other person was, but she knew they must be nearby, so she whispered, "I'm here to pick up the player who can hypnotize."
An Hui, a skilled hypnotist, stepped forward after hearing Ning Shu's words: "I am."
She received a notification from the system shortly after entering her overall ability level.
Congratulations! You have been selected to participate in a special mission. Please wait where you are; someone will come to meet you.
Ning Shu led Lei Tao and Zhi Ge to the other party's side. Zhi Ge said, "I apologize for the offense," and then put his hand on the other party's shoulder. The four of them disappeared from the sight of the other players in an instant.
The player had seen everything and knew this was probably a skill of the opponent, so there was no surprise. Instead, they continued to wait for the commander's orders.
Ning Shu's second task was to "pay a visit" to the Maca family, who were originally responsible for developing the Adversity Game on Luo Yi Star.
This family is important because they know about the adversity game, and humans must first silence them to prevent them from revealing the secret.
According to Anran, the Maca family was just a minor family on the planet Loy.
The reason they concealed this matter was mainly to gain the support of Soya Star and thus rise to the upper echelons of Loy Star.
As long as they don't leak information about the game, the plan is half successful.
An Ran sent Ning Shu the location of Makabakar, the head of the Maka family. Ning Shu then had Zhi Ge bring Lei Tao and An Hui, and the four of them appeared at Makabakar's house in an instant.
They were in each other's living room at that moment. Although the lights were off, they could barely make out the situation in the living room by the light coming from outside the window.
The living room was empty.
Ning Shu told them to take their weapons. Of the four of them, only her skills were offensive; the others were support-type.
Before they came, Ning Shu had them buy a lot of weapons from the mall and carry them with them. Now each of them has at least one pulse gun.
Ning Shu told them that it didn't matter if the others were killed, but Makka Pakka should be spared because she needed to interrogate her.
Seeing that the surroundings were empty, Lei Tao pointed towards the room and asked if they should search inside.
Ning Shu nodded, telling An Hui to take Zhi Ge while she took Lei Tao, and prepared to search the room.
Suddenly, Zhige stood up straight and pointed at the ceiling in horror.
Ning Shu felt she was doomed, so she immediately looked up and saw a six-armed fish "stuck" to the ceiling.
It had strange equipment on its head, and now it stared at them with wide eyes, its gaze cold and sticky.
"Fire! Don't kill him!" Ning Shu shouted immediately.
When dealing with the Soya aliens, their defensive weapons were safely disabled in order to complete the mission quickly. In any case, the Soya incident was just a show for the Loy aliens.
However, this approach wouldn't work on the Roy aliens, because it would look too fake.
Anran arranged for players in the game to implant a virus into the Loy aliens' defensive armor, rendering it ineffective.
Although the result was the same as the defensive weapons of the Soya aliens, it was easier to accept when the other side traced the cause back to them.
Humanity's plan this time is to defeat the opponent, given that the opponent can use their own weapons, in order to undermine the opponent's confidence.
This is similar to why some people can't distinguish between reality and dreams—because dreams are too "real."
When a dream is very absurd, most people will know that they are dreaming and that they will be fine when they wake up.
Therefore, their plans are designed to be as compliant as possible with their own standards.
An Hui's skill is hypnosis, but she is also quite skilled in combat. As soon as Ning Shu finished shouting, she had already opened fire.
Ning Shu saw out of the corner of his eye that An Hui had already made a move, and he also raised his gun and pointed it at the room.
Fearing an attack from over there, he said to Lei Tao, "Tao, keep an eye on the door. If anyone comes in, shoot."
Ning Shu was right. As soon as she finished speaking, several six-legged fish emerged from the room and the doorway. However, unlike the one on the ceiling, they walked over on four legs.
They were also armed and opened fire on Ning Shu and the others.
Ning Shu and the others had already started using defensive items, which came in various styles, but all were designed to defend against damage.
If it weren't for this incredible thing, they wouldn't dare to just barge into someone else's home like this.
The Roy aliens had clearly never seen anything like this before. They couldn't believe humans were so incredibly powerful? When did human technology become so advanced?
They are unaware that they have entered the game.
The game has a language translation function, so Ning Shu and the others can understand when the Roy aliens speak.
"Humans have evolved? Weapons are ineffective against them."
“They should have been killed long ago, but the higher-ups insisted on keeping some as slaves.”
"Stop talking nonsense, kill them all!"
The six-armed fish only has a head and tentacles. Ning Shu's marksmanship was more accurate than his skills. After a few shots, he broke off all their tentacles, leaving only their heads, just enough to keep them alive.
An Hui was clearly trained, and her marksmanship was also very accurate.
Lei Tao and Zhi Ge are quite different; Lei Tao basically just fires wildly, killing most of the opponents. It's too difficult to find anyone injured.
Ning Shu was afraid they would kill their target, so she quickly stopped them: "You three, stop! I'll cover you, use the new defensive items."
Ning Shu's defensive items are custom-made and can only be used 10 times per instance, which is already considered a lot.
Each dungeon item from the shop can only be used 3 times.
Lei Tao and the other two were very obedient and immediately did as instructed. After they changed, Ning Shu took out a prop – “Motion-Stopping Shackles”.
This is an item from the dungeon, given by Si Zhong. It can be said that although Si Zhong did not participate in humanity's struggle, he provided ample support.
Once the prop was activated, everyone present was unable to move, including Lei Tao and the others.
Ning Shu needed to use props to remove the restrictions on each of them before she could begin interrogating the Roy aliens in front of her.
"Which of you is Makka Pakka?"
Ning Shu was not surprised at all that no one answered.
She could have used this prop from the beginning, but in order to intimidate the opponent, she chose to attack first.
If they realize the situation after being beaten and take the initiative to confess, that would be the best outcome. Since that approach is not feasible, we will have to resort to other methods.
