Chapter 9: What life-saving pill? I'm not dead. ...
Misao Yingjun said angrily, "Zhang Juehuang, don't think that you are smarter than me just because you have a higher level of perception than me and some talent for command. Let me tell you, I used to be a genius on par with Mu Jingchen! I fell behind you these years only because I was lax for a while. Now that I've entered the Imperial Academy, I'll have plenty of time to surpass you in the future!"
"Just wait for me to defeat you!"
Zhang Juehuang snorted, "Oh! You really are a man with strong limbs but a simple mind! I want to take the command department exam, and you want to go to the individual soldier department. In the future, you have to obey my orders, right?"
"If you are the commander, I will do it alone!"
Misa Yingjun is a fool, Su Shui came to an absolutely correct conclusion in his mind.
The muddy and rocky ground here seemed ordinary, and there were no dangerous insects or beasts to be seen at a glance. However, for some reason, Su Shui always felt uneasy in his heart, as if the danger was lurking in a corner that they could not see, very close to them.
Suddenly it started to rain, and the dry muddy ground was filled with sweet rain. Su Shui looked up at the rainy sky. The rain here was different from the rain in the slums. It was warm, not bone-chillingly cold, but instead a dreamy warmth.
She felt dizzy and Su Shui touched her temples. Why did she suddenly feel dizzy?
Bean-sized raindrops fell on the muddy and rocky ground, splashing yellow muddy water. Su Shui leaned over and raised his eyes slightly. A black line seemed to appear on the horizon in front of him, and the black line became higher and higher.
Su Shui tried hard to open his eyes, and then he could see clearly that it was a group of soldiers wearing black armor. They were marching towards them with righteous indignation. Each of them made the same movements and had the same expression on their faces, just like virtual chess pieces in a game of chess.
Su Shui turned around and suddenly realized that everyone else had disappeared, and she was the only one left in the entire muddy and rocky ground.
Is this an illusion?
She asked herself in her heart.
Was it the rain that was causing the problem? Could rain cause hallucinations? Of course it was an illusion.
Su Shui kept his mind clear, calmly meditating on the dirt ground, trying to bring himself back to real life, but a voice rang out from the horizon, "Su Shui, congratulations on being selected as a player in the Fantasy Rain game.
"The rules of the game are, please open your eyes and look at the big screen."
Su Shui suddenly opened his eyes. The rain had stopped, and the soldiers in front of him were still walking towards him with firm steps. At this moment, a virtual screen appeared at a 45-degree angle above Su Shui's head, with the rules of the game written on it:
Welcome to the Fantasy Rain game. This game is specially designed for you. Please read the game rules carefully.
1. The enemy is the black warrior, and you are the white warrior
2. You cannot seek help during the game and need to complete it independently
3. When all the black warriors disappear, it is considered a successful clearance. If the clearance fails, you will stay here until the clearance is successful.
4. Before starting the game, give Xiao A a good review!
"Good review?" Su Shui glanced at a cute baby model that flashed in front of the virtual screen, "You are Xiao A"
The cute baby nodded.
Su Shui raised his eyebrows. "You want a good review? You brought me to this remote place to play games with you, and you still want me to give you a good review? Are you overthinking it?"
Su Shui stretched out his hand and selected "Very Unsatisfied" from the user evaluation below Mengwa. Unexpectedly, Mengwa, the artificial intelligence, grabbed Su Shui's hand. Su Shui glared at Mengwa, who was looking at him with tears in his eyes.
Although it looks very pitiful, we must not be soft-hearted.
Su Shui asked: "How many people have passed?"
The cute baby's face changed, as if it had something to hide. It touched the back of its head, smiled awkwardly, and disappeared. The user review just now also disappeared.
Su Shui shouted at the virtual screen, "You haven't answered my question yet, so you don't want the good review anymore?"
"It's better to give no good reviews than bad reviews. I wish you can pass the game smoothly. If you can pass the game smoothly, you will be the first person to pass the game!"
The first one?
So, how many people have participated in the game?
"This game is still in the trial stage, and you are the first person we have drawn."
Su Shui: “…” The first guinea pig.
Before Su Shui had time to think about this problem, she saw the black-clad warriors in front of her getting closer and closer to her. She hurriedly dispatched a group of white-clad warriors on the virtual screen.
The moment the white-clad warrior stepped onto the battlefield, Su Shui automatically entered a closed space, with a huge 19-way chessboard under his feet.
It turns out that this game is used to test command talent.
Su Shui suddenly felt relieved. If she had taken other exams, she would probably feel that she would never get out of this game and would slowly die here. But if she was asked about Go, Su Shui was full of confidence.
What's more, in this game, all the equipment is free, which is a blessing from heaven for people like Su Shui who have no money to buy equipment!
Su Shui replaced several sets of mecha equipment for the white warriors, tested the performance of each mecha, and finally specially selected the overclocking mecha. This type of mecha has extremely strong comprehensive performance, powerful combat strength, and most importantly, it is light and good-looking.
Su Shui observed the current situation. The enemy's black-clad warriors on the muddy and rocky ground were huge in number, at least a thousand, while he only had a hundred warriors, and clearly had no advantage in numbers.
Su Shui looked down at the chessboard and gestured at the approximate positions of both sides on the board. Now the black-clad warriors were collectively rushing into the middle of the abdomen. If it was a head-on confrontation, they would probably be outnumbered. If different chess pieces could be placed on all sides of the black-clad warriors, their attention would definitely be distracted. Then, if they could break through one by one, they would have a chance of winning.
After Su Shui formulated a battle plan, he clicked a deployment button on the virtual screen and placed warriors with different abilities behind and on the sides of the enemy, and equipped them with different equipment and skills.
This move was very effective once used. The enemy was thrown into disarray and nearly half of them were killed or wounded, while he himself was unharmed.
Su Shui chuckled, "Sure enough, the newly developed game is just chicken ribs. There is no challenge at all. The opponent doesn't even have a decent commander. Without an outstanding general, even a large army will be reduced to a pile of scattered sand."
If this trend continues, I estimate that I will be able to pass the level in less than ten minutes.
So Su Shui continued to kill people everywhere. When the virtual screen showed that there were only 100 enemies left, the enemies suddenly changed.
The remaining one hundred black warriors doubled in size and were also wearing conceptual-level mecha suits.
Some time ago, Su Shui learned while browsing the forum that the conceptual mecha is the pinnacle mecha in the Imperial Mecha series. It is far more powerful than ordinary mechas and is invulnerable to swords and guns. Attacking from the outside will not harm the enemy at all.
Su Shui narrowed his eyes. It turned out that the real battle had just begun.
The enemy had 100 warriors, and I had 100 warriors, so it was now a one-on-one battle. If the difference just now was in numbers, now it was in strength.
Su Shui searched the virtual screen and found that there was no conceptual mecha suit in the white team's equipment. Obviously, this was a game obstacle specially set up by the producer for the players.
Su Shui calmed down and looked for Black's weakness. Since he couldn't break through from the outside, what about from the inside?
But how to break through?
Poisoning? That's a good idea, but how to poison and where to get the poison from? These are all problems.
While Su Shui was still thinking about countermeasures, the enemy began to attack. These huge black-clad warriors leaped to a height of 100 meters, and then jumped down. The entire ground shook and dust flew everywhere.
An idea suddenly came to Su Shui's mind. As she looked at the black-clad warriors jumping excitedly, a trick emerged in her mind.
Since rainwater can cause problems, can't sand also cause problems?
The game developer has set up this game, so there must be a way to complete it, and this method must be hidden on the page.
Su Shui worked hard to scroll through page after page on the virtual screen until she found a bottle of toad venom powder.
Poof! Another big toad! She had seen the power of toad venom liquid before, but she had never thought that someone had made this stuff into powder. If she sprinkled this powder on the muddy ground, how long could these stupid black warriors jump around?
The flying dust will enter their nasal cavity through the gaps in the mecha, thus affecting their respiratory tract.
Although these soldiers are virtual characters in the game, they also have human characteristics.
Then they will be affected by the toad venom powder and will be unable to fight!
Su Shui immediately changed the white-clad warriors into flying mecha suits and gave each of them a bottle of toad venom powder.
Afterwards, the black-clad warriors gradually lost strength while jumping and fell down one by one.
"Congratulations, you've passed the level!" The cute kid appeared again.
"Su Shui, you are the first person to pass the level, so just give me a good review!" The cute kid rolled on the ground and acted coquettishly.
Su Shui glanced at the cute kid and said, "Your artificial intelligence is so useless."
"Wow!" The cute kid wiped his tears. "My boss taught me that if users don't give me good reviews, I should cry and make a scene."
Su Shui: “.......” Is your boss an ancient person living on Earth?
Su Shui was still a little soft-hearted, so he gave her a good review reluctantly. After all, she had successfully passed the test.
After the evaluation, Su Shui returned to the real world as he wished. The first person he saw was Misa Yingjun. His big white face was just five centimeters away from Su Shui. Su Shui's first reaction after opening his eyes was to punch him.
Misao Yingjun sat on the ground with half of his face swollen. "I am so unlucky to have met you! I saved you!" He pointed at Su Shui and continued carelessly: "Did you see that? This woman treated her savior like this!"
Jin Duoling and Jin Duobao couldn't help but laugh.
Others just felt a little speechless.
Su Shui was bewildered. What savior? Didn't she clear the game just now by relying on her own ability?
Misa Eijun stood up, brushed off the dust on his butt, and said angrily, "If I hadn't given you this life-saving pill just now, would you have woken up so quickly?"
Su Shui: “?” What does this have to do with the life-saving pills?
