Chapter 48
Qiao Yisen suddenly remembered that he didn't know what Jiang Yunu's weapon was. He immediately opened his eyes wide with curiosity: "What about yours?"
Some things are fine when you don’t think about them, but once you think about them, your thirst for knowledge feels like it’s being scratched by a little claw.
Before Jiang Yunu could answer, the red-haired boy continued speaking.
"I heard that the weapons in this game are extremely random," Joyson said excitedly. "When I first learned this, I was very worried. I had no idea what I'd get. I saw some people get long swords, some get short spears and bows, and some were unlucky enough to get shields or gloves—they started with equipment that was difficult to deal damage with. If they encountered an elemental beast, they wouldn't know how to fight it!"
After Joyson finished speaking with great interest, he looked at Jiang Yunu.
His eyes flashed with anticipation for Jiang Yunu's weapon - Jiang Yunu was already able to fight elemental beasts, so the weapon must be one that deals a lot of damage, right?
“…”
Jiang Yunu and Qiao Yisen are so familiar with each other that she can immediately understand what the other person is thinking just by looking at each other.
But to Joyson's surprise, Jiang Yunu remained suspiciously silent in the face of this question.
“…”
“…”
The silence lasted for two or three minutes. Both of them walked a distance along the campus road, and the shadow of the multi-purpose building remained behind them.
Qiao Yisen sensed something was wrong: "Xiao Jiang?"
When Jiang Yunu was able to communicate normally, Qiao Yisen would not call her by her full name.
"Xiao Jiang" was in a very complicated mood.
After thinking about it, she realized that there was nothing to hide in front of Joyson, so she finally answered truthfully: "Spatula."
Joyson: “Huh?”
Joyson didn't realize at first that this was the answer to his previous question. He looked confused and asked, "What spatula? Why are you suddenly holding up a spatula?"
In theory, the use of open flames is prohibited in Engel's student dormitory building, and the use of electronic products not permitted by school regulations is also not allowed.
Joyson scratched his head, almost thinking that Jiang Yunu was feeling a little homesick and missed the time they spent cooking together at home.
"...Are you thinking of buying a spatula?" he asked cautiously, his thoughts clearly on the wrong track. "Do you want to keep a spatula in your dorm as a comfort when you're homesick?"
Jiang Yunu felt that it was a bit strange to use a spatula as a comfort for homesickness. She couldn't follow Joyce's train of thought for the time being.
She sighed and made her words clearer.
“No,” she said. “I’m answering your question—my weapon in the game is a spatula.”
Joyson: “…………”
This time it was Joyson's turn to remain silent.
Joyson was silent for much longer than Jiang Yunu had just been. His expression was blank at first, and then slowly turned into confusion that was as thick as fog and could not be dissolved.
After a while, Joyson said, "Are you lying to me?"
Jiang Yunu spread his hands: "Why would I lie to you? It really is a spatula."
Joyson was shocked.
"How...how could it be a spatula?" Joyce's tone was filled with disbelief.
The multi-purpose building was already farther away from the two of them, but the red-haired boy couldn't help but stop and turned to look in the direction of the building.
It's as if the multi-purpose building contains the answers to all the difficult puzzles.
"You asked me, but I was going to ask the game system." Jiang Yunu had long since gotten over the shock of the spatula weapon. She was currently getting along pretty well with her little spatula, but seeing how shocked Joyson was, she once again realized that her novice weapon was probably really niche.
"In short, the system just gave me a spatula." She concluded with this sentence, blaming all the outrageous things on the game system.
Joyson scratched his head until a few red hairs fell out from the back of his head. He recalled what Jiang Yunu had said before, that the other party had already started fighting the elemental beasts.
The novice weapon is a spatula.
But we have already started to fight the elemental beasts successfully.
It was obvious that Jiang Yunu could not have looked for other weapons in such a short time. When Joyson combined these two pieces of information, his respect for Jiang Yunu immediately increased.
"You hit the elemental with a spatula," Joyson said in awe.
Jiang Yunu said, "Yes."
That's right, she was hitting the elemental beast with a spatula.
Jiang Yunu was very happy to use a spatula to shovel the elemental beasts in the game, and he admitted it very frankly in real life.
Joyson looked like he wanted to say something, but was so shocked by the comprehensive information that he didn't know what to say. He opened and closed his mouth several times, but in the end he said nothing.
He just gave Jiang Yunu a deep thumbs up.
It's all in the action.
Jiang Yunu's two computer sessions on Saturdays are separate, one at the earliest from 7 to 9 in the morning, and the other at 9 to 11 in the evening, close to midnight.
Not only on Saturdays, her computer time on Sundays is also on this schedule, and the time span between the two computer sessions is large.
It was still early after the morning's computer session, so Jiang Yunuo and Qiao Yisen found a place to relax in the school and continued chatting about games. Qiao Yisen also asked Jiang Yunuo a few newbie questions.
When Qiao Yisen asked Jiang Yunu about his plans for the afternoon, Jiang Yunu said, "I'm going back to check the information."
Joyson: "Ah? What information do you want to look up?"
Jiang Yunu said, "Information about wind elemental beasts, and information on how to effectively counterattack if people are taken to the sky when the war begins."
Joyson was puzzled when he heard this, feeling that this was not a problem that a novice player would encounter. However, considering that the other party was Jiang Yu Nu, he felt puzzled but also that it was not too strange.
Joyson always has confidence in Jiang Yunu from nowhere.
"Then do your best!"
Although Joyson didn't understand, he encouraged Jiang Yunu.
Jiang Yunu: “Yeah!”
After Jiang Yunu and Qiao Yisen parted ways, she went straight back to the dormitory and went straight to her room on the second floor. As soon as she entered the room, she turned on her personal terminal, turned on the screen, entered the search interface, and began to search for what she wanted to find.
She was taken to the sky when she forcibly quit the game. This was an unchangeable fact. Based on the fact that she was "ambushed" as soon as she logged into the game today, Jiang Yunu also vaguely felt that the intelligent system of the holographic game seemed to particularly like to put her into challenges.
She was logged out of the world in the sky, and she didn't expect that the next time she landed again - that is, tonight - she would be able to "whoosh" back to the ground.
According to the nature of the system, she will most likely log in to the same place where she logged off, and when she returns to the game, she will continue to be carried into the sky by the "big bird".
During the time between the two flights, Jiang Yunu took the opportunity to check what she should do.
"Making good use of search engines and learning from previous experience is also an excellent tactic."
Jiang Yunu typed her question into the search bar while muttering to herself seriously.
But her search results were a bit off at first.
Jiang Yunu wanted to search for how to deal with wind elemental beasts encountered in the game, but she forgot to add the game keywords when entering.
What she found were reports about fighting against wind elemental beasts in reality.
Jiang Yunu stared at the page that had nothing to do with the game, stunned for a moment, and was about to cancel and search again. Just before she was about to close the webpage, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something eye-catching out of the corner of her eye, thanks to the ability to read ten lines at a glance that she had developed from the exam-oriented education in her previous life.
That was the headline of a news report: [Students fight against wind elemental beasts. The First Star Region has produced another once-in-a-century combat genius. Duma Academy continues its legend of becoming a new interstellar star!]
The title was rather exaggerated, but Jiang Yunu was not attracted by the string of compliments, but focused on the three words "school students" at the beginning.
Current student?
Fight against the wind elemental beast?
The key words caught Jiang Yunu's attention. When she saw the identity of the protagonist in the report, who was also a student, she immediately became interested. She stopped closing the page and clicked on the report.
At the same time, Jiang Yunu's eyes were still sliding over the "Duma College" behind the title.
She vaguely felt that the name was familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
When I clicked on the news report, the first thing that popped up was a video:
It seemed to be a valley. The deep ravine behind the cliff only flashed by in the picture. The perspective quickly shifted from the bottom of the valley to the sky, where a majestic giant bird could be seen circling in the air. The edges of each of its feathers had a metallic luster, and its wings were spread out freely, as if two sword walls composed of countless feather swords extended from both sides of its torso.
The giant bird flapped its wings, and thousands of blades were released in an instant!
It was like a rain of sharp bird feathers falling from the sky, and this sharp rain was smashing straight towards the ground with great momentum.
At first, Jiang Yunu was completely attracted by the giant bird with metal feathers in the sky. She was so engrossed in watching the bird that when the rain of swords fell to the ground, she followed the trajectory of the rain of swords and suddenly realized that there was a person in the rain of swords on the ground.
That was indeed a person.
The other party was wearing combat uniform and was moving quickly in the dense rain of knives.
Under such a dense rain of sharp feathers, humans may be riddled with wounds at any time, and if they are not careful, they will be pierced into blood gourds by the metal feathers falling from the sky.
Jiang Yunu stared at the man carefully, but was soon surprised to find that even his combat uniform seemed to be intact.
The man walked through the rain of knives, as if he could accurately grasp the direction of each feather.
When it reached the edge of the cliff, the giant bird swooped down from the sky, its hooked beak and sharp claws piercing its face. As the giant bird descended at high speed, an ominous flash of snowy light appeared.
The people walking through the rain of knives stood at the edge of the cliff, neither retreating nor avoiding.
He bent his knees slightly, then jumped up -
"clang--"
The metal colliding made a continuous clanging sound, echoing in the valleys and ravines.
The opponent took the giant bird's attack head-on, and then the blade continued to move forward, sinking deep into the giant bird's belly in mid-air, which was also the only place not covered by metal feathers.
The giant bird began to fly in pain in a disorderly manner, trying to throw down the man who had "bitten" it in his belly. However, the long knife in the man's hand seemed to be stuck at an extremely delicate angle. He used the firmly stuck knife as support, grabbed the handle, and let the giant bird tumble in the air.
The rain of knives from the sky slowly turned into a rain of blood.
The giant bird finally ran out of energy first.
The man finally drew his sword as the giant bird fell, and before the bird completely hit the ground, he bent his legs and kicked it, then flipped backwards and landed steadily on a huge rock at the highest point of the cliff.
He put away his sword with the blood rain as the backdrop, and his combat uniform remained neat.
At this moment, the camera suddenly zoomed in, giving a close-up of the man's face.
He looked calm and indifferent.
