Chapter 1 The First Encounter

The Hell's Front team in the eastern part of the city also completed their teleportation smoothly.

[Main Quest Triggered.]

[Kill the four members of the Golden Warhammer Team.]

The mission prompt appeared immediately after the opening CG.

"Brother Jue, this script couldn't be..." As soon as he regained the ability to move, Xiao Tan turned to Brother Jue and began to speak.

"Right, it's the script where we first encountered the Derivatives and the GMs." Feng Bujue picked up the thread. "This time, the timeline should be several years after we left this place."

"Oh? You've been in this script before?" Xiao Ling chimed in. "So... this time we have the advantage of knowing the situation from the start?"

"Not 'we'." Feng Bujue corrected. "It's 'I'." He pointed to his nose and said to his teammates, "Sister Yu has made it clear... that I should take out all four of them on my own, so..."

"Hey, hey... Brother Jue." Xiao Tan interrupted. "Are you really planning to have us stand by and watch?"

"Of course, I am." Feng Bujue replied. "The three of you just need to explore the map. Leave the killing to me."

"Since you have the will and the confidence to do it, I don't want to stop you, but..." Hua Jian said at this moment, "After all, you're going to fight four people alone... at least let me give you [Undying Power], just in case."

"No need." Unexpectedly, Feng Bujue refused decisively. "I don't think I'll be killed by a team called the Golden Warhammer Team."

"Captain, you said it yourself... they're a 'team,' and you're just an 'individual'." Xiao Ling also advised. "Do you think you're a Boss going to farm players?"

"Yes." Feng Bujue replied in a matter-of-fact tone. "That's exactly what I mean."

"Sigh..." Hua Jian sighed. "Good luck then."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling helplessly tilted her head, then turned to Xiao Tan and said, "Then let's just wander around."

"Oh..." Xiao Tan nodded and looked at Brother Jue again. "Brother Jue, be careful on your own."

"Don't worry." Feng Bujue replied casually. "You guys be careful."

And so, less than three minutes after the script began, the four members of Hell's Front parted ways.

............

At the same time, on the Golden Warhammer Team's side...

"The other team has taken anonymous measures... Hmph..." Huang Dachui looked at the information in the game menu and snorted coldly. "Then it's undoubtedly a trash team of no reputation. It looks like it'll be an easy crush." His undefeated record in the s2 practice mode filled him with confidence in his team's strength. He spoke with full confidence.

As soon as he said this, the player next to him with the ID [Alkaline Man] said, "Uh... Captain, I think... we'd better not be too careless."

Speaking of this Alkaline Man, he was also a fairly well-known individual professional player. Although his reputation was not as resounding as [Honghu], it was not far behind.

Alkaline Man was an all-rounder, with a strong ability to adapt and learn any game; however, his gaming talent was not outstanding, so he was never able to reach the ranks of top players. He was a man who hovered between "second-tier" and "first-tier" levels.

In the Golden Warhammer Team, although the nominal captain was Huang Dachui, everyone knew in their hearts... that the person who truly led the team to victory was Alkaline Man.

"Yes, this is the official competition after all, not practice." Two seconds later, [Odd Fighter] also chimed in. "Every game is related to the final score, so we can't underestimate the enemy."

This Odd Fighter was also an individual professional player; he was the type who had excellent mechanics but poor game sense. In a team, he could be a reliable fighter, but he couldn't be a leader or a strategist.

Fortunately... he was a very self-aware person. He always played the role of an "NBA role player" very conscientiously, trying his best to play his part in the team. He left the work of thinking and planning to those who had the ability to complete it... such as Alkaline Man... to complete.

"I don't care. I go all out in every game..." [Mystic Spirit King], standing not far away, chimed in. "...No matter what kind of team the opponent is, I treat them all the same."

This guy was the chuunibyou type of player. But in terms of combat strength, he was the strongest in the team.

"Hehe... you're all too cautious." Huang Dachui replied. "Brother Jian... didn't you also say that the probability of meeting a professional team while queuing at this time is very low?" He put his hands in his pockets and said smugly, "Not to mention that the three of you are all professional players, just talking about my strength... hehe..." He paused deliberately, revealing a very pretentious expression, as if he was really great. "...You all know it."

"Yeah... it's because there's a retard like you dragging us down that I feel we can't be careless... you think we won all the practice matches because of you? It was completely thanks to us risking our lives, plus a little bit of luck... that we achieved that without encountering a single professional team, okay?" Alkaline Man naturally muttered these words in his heart. He didn't dare to say them out loud.

"Uh... that's right, you're very strong." As the saying goes, he who takes gifts is easily swayed, Alkaline Man could only bite the bullet and reply, "But look... this..." He looked at the surrounding fog, and an idea came to him. "...This map is very unfavorable to you!"

"Huh?" Huang Dachui was reminded by him, looked around, and after five seconds, he suddenly realized and said, "That's right! In this kind of environment, wouldn't my invincible sharpshooting be difficult to perform?"

"This guy is hopeless..." Alkaline Man was about to cry in his heart.

The next second, he twitched the corner of his mouth, hid a trembling hand in his jacket pocket, and then said; "That's... that's what I mean. As a shooting-type player, even if you're super strong, you can't exert one hundred percent of your ability in this kind of environment, right?"

"Okay... you have a point." Huang Dachui nodded. "Then I'll be more serious in this game and use attitude and skill to fill the gap of this innate disadvantage!"

"What skill do you have?" Alkaline Man complained in his heart, "Aren't you just a shooting and machinery specialization A, with all other specializations being trash, and you're an RMB warrior... your equipment and skills are basically all bought. If you didn't have these things plus the auxiliary of special ammunition... I could beat you even if I was ten levels lower..."

"Then..." Alkaline Man turned his head away, not letting the other party see his already hard-to-hide expression, "...Everything depends on you, Captain..."

............

On the other hand, in downtown Nuke City...

The buildings and streets here had long disappeared without a trace, and the hundreds of thousands of square meters of area had been turned into a black, rugged scorched earth.

Rivers of lava intertwined on the scorched earth, and the strange fog that did not dissipate became thicker under the transpiration of the heat.

In the center of the scorched earth stood a huge castle-like building. Its architectural style was unlike anything human, and various bizarre lines that violated architecture and even physics outlined this strangely structured fortress.

At this moment, in the hall on the top floor of the strange fortress, a creature that was resting with its eyes closed suddenly opened its eyes.

"Hmph... Feng, Bu, Jue..." Samodier snorted coldly, uttering the name word by word, "There is a road to heaven, but you don't take it; hell has no gate, yet you come here yourself..."

As he said that, he stood up from his "throne."

"Dian San, Dao Si." After standing still, Samodier raised his voice and shouted these two names.

Seconds later, two figures emerged from nowhere and stood in front of him.

"Yo~ Yo~ What's up? Master."

"Hey~ Ha~ Are you gonna~ send us to... the other side of the door~ to catch someone back?"

Two voices sounded one after another, each speaking a sentence. The tone of their voices was very interesting, like they were rapping, with their own rhythm.

"No need to catch anyone from 'the other side of the door'." Samodier replied in a deep voice, "This time's prey... is in the city."
