Chapter 175: Great Wall Battle (1)
Chapter 175 – Great Wall Battle (1)
Conquest over!
Calculating results!
As the number displayed in the sky turned zero, the weapons in every participants’ hands lost effect and no longer released paint.
“It’s over?”
While standing on an intersection formed by the three different colored paints, Little Peach looked at her submachine gun dazedly as she asked, “It can’t fire anymore?”
After another two dozen seconds passed, Chen Yu resurrected. He then approached the metal cube, clapped his hands, and loudly said, “All players gather at my location. Friends that are here to spectate, please spread out and make room…”
At Chen Yu’s words, the police officers standing guard outside the battlefield promptly moved in to maintain order.
Shortly afterward, all animated characters had gathered around Chen Yu.
Simultaneously, the donation group’s members each pulled out a small tube from their pockets and collected samples of the paint for research.
“You guys are quite bold, huh?” Chen Yu said as he looked at the green team’s five members.
“Hehe…” The short-haired girl, who was the green team’s first member, scratched her head awkwardly. “It looked fun, so I couldn’t help but join in. I’m sorry.”
As today’s additional livestream was meant to be an interactive livestream, Chen Yu had no intention of troubling his fans. Extending his hand toward the virtual interface projected above the metal console, he chose to reveal the battle results.
Instantly, the clouds in the sky transformed into several lines of text.
Everyone present promptly looked up.
[Blue Team’s occupied area: 18.3%]
[Red Team’s occupied area: 22.1%]
[Green Team’s occupied area: 14.7%]
[Empty area: 44.9%]
[Winner—Red Team!]
“Ohhh!” Little Peach jumped up in excitement. “We won! Hahaha…”
“Yes!”
“Hohoho!”
“Awesome!”
The bullet comment group’s members exchanged celebratory high-fives with each other.
Meanwhile, the background spectators also clapped in concert. Some bold ones even ran up to touch the participants’ round bodies.
[How envious.]
[Quickly start another round! I want to watch more!]
[I’m making a pirated version at home. Who’s interested in joining? The only difference is the paint smell is a little off.]
[Stop messing around! Paint is toxic!]
[Nintendo’s stock value just skyrocketed. This advertisement is a success.]
Along with the announcement of the match’s results, all paint within the 10,000-square-meter battlefield vanished as if it had never existed.
The donation group’s four members momentarily stared at each other before they hurriedly pulled out their respective sample tubes. And sure enough, they found that the paint they collected had disappeared…
“King! Start another round!” Little Peach pleaded as she hugged onto Chen Yu’s arm. “It’s so fun!”
“Playing comes later. As a review organization, evaluating the product is our biggest priority.” Chen Yu rejected Little Peach’s request to start another match. He then turned toward the green team’s five members and said, “Friends, take off your squid costumes.”
“Can’t we play another match? Just one more!” the short-haired girl pleaded.
“No. It’s time for the next phase of the review.”
“…Fine…” The short-haired girl sighed in dejection as she removed her bodysuit.
Poof!
As the smoke scattered, the girl reverted to her original figure.
Chen Yu looked to the green team’s four other members after accepting and storing the girl’s bodysuit back into the console’s drawer. “Everyone, remove yours as well.”
Poof… Poof…
After the large clump of smoke dissipated, the green team’s five members reluctantly distanced themselves from the group. However, as they retreated, their eyes remained glued on the metal console, their eyes revealing their nostalgia.
After returning the green bodysuits into their respective drawers, Chen Yu faced the camera and said, “That’s it for the Conquest mode’s review. I’m sure everyone has gotten an understanding of the mode’s playstyle and how fun it is. If you can find some like-minded friends, The Eager Squid Girl is an ideal entertainment product!”
[I know what you’re trying to say. What I want to know is where I can buy one.]
[You’re posting pictures without the sauce…]
[You’re only promoting the product without selling it. What kind of bastard are you?]
Meanwhile, after being instigated by the bullet comment group’s other members, Little Peach ran up to Chen Yu and asked, “King, where’s the reward you promised?”
“Reward? Oh, right. The reward.” Realization dawned on Chen Yu. He then walked toward the bullet comment group, spread out his arms, and said, “The winners get to take a photo with me.”
The bullet comment group’s four members: “…”
“Do you want it, or not?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
After taking a photograph together with the group, Chen Yu raised his pistols and continued, “Now that we’ve reviewed the Conquest mode, we’ll start reviewing the second game mode—Tower Pushing[1]! Let’s read the instructions first.”
After Chen Yu tapped his finger on the virtual interface, a series of instructions expanded on the screen.
“Tower Pushing mode can only be played by two teams of 5 vs. 5. The game must take place in a long and narrow terrain, and each team will occupy one end of the selected area. Both teams will then spray paint to push the squid tower in the middle. Whichever team succeeds in pushing the squid tower to the opposing team’s base will win. Players will also revive in this mode.
“The game’s time limit is 10 minutes. If a victor isn’t decided when the timer reaches zero, whichever side the squid tower is closer to will lose.
“That’s it for the introduction. Let’s not mention the last game mode for now and start the tower pushing game.”
After saying so, Chen Yu looked toward the participants and continued, “We’ll decide the battlefield’s venue through democratic voting. Everyone, start brainstorming. However, I have the right to veto your suggestions.”
“To the Forbidden City!” the person with the ID of Past Memories suggested.
“Rejected. There are too many people.” Chen Yu waved his hand.
“What about the square at Sony Corporation’s main headquarters?” Sony’s representative suggested, raising his hand.
“Rejected. That’s an advertisement.”
“What about my company’s barracks?” the soldier suggested.
Shaking his head, Chen Yu said, “Rejected.”
“The Pyramid?”
“Rejected.”
“The White House!”
“Rejected.”
Clicking her tongue, Little Peach said, “I reject your rejection!”
Chen Yu: “Rejected.”
Everyone: “…”
“Doesn’t anyone have a good suggestion?” Shrugging, Chen Yu decided, “Let’s head to the Great Wall, then. The terrain there is very suitable. How about it?”
Everyone: “Rejected!”
“I reject your rejection.”
Picking up the metal console, Chen Yu approached the Interstellar Portal and started establishing a spatial link. “Since nobody has an opinion, through democratic voting, our battlefield will be the Great Wall! Fellow friends nearby, please don’t follow us into the portal. I won’t be responsible for any mishaps.”
After saying so, Chen Yu hooked his finger at the camera and stepped through the portal.
The other participants also did not hesitate as they stepped through the portal in an orderly line.
…
As it was November, the Great Wall was currently in its offseason, and there weren’t many tourists here.
Hence, when the Interstellar Portal appeared out of thin air, it did not cause as much of a sensation as it did in Shanghai’s pedestrian street.
Thud.
After jumping out of the portal and stepping on solid ground, Chen Yu scanned his surroundings. He then shouted at the tourist group approaching from a distance, “Don’t come over! It’s dangerous!”
In reality, there wasn’t a need for Chen Yu to give his warning. The tour group consisted mostly of middle-aged and elderly people. When they saw a bunch of strange creatures appearing out of thin air, they had promptly turned around and fled.
After seeing that the other nine people had crossed the portal, Chen Yu immediately disconnected the spatial link.
“Excellent. We’ve arrived at the Great Wall. Everyone knows the rules, so let’s dispense with the nonsense and start right away.”
After saying so, Chen Yu clicked ‘Confirm’ without hesitation.
Boom!
A familiar loud noise appeared from above the group as the clouds displaying the number ’10’ appeared in the sky.
Afterward, a narrow wall of light enveloped a portion of the Great Wall, and a 10-meter-tall tower drilled out of the ground.
The tower had five floors, and sitting on top of the building was a giant squid waving its tentacles. However, the squid did not look ferocious at all. Instead, it looked rather cute.
Meanwhile, the members of the blue team and red team simultaneously drew their weapons and tacitly separated. As they stood on both sides of the tower, they patiently waited for the start of the next bloody battle.
“Let the Squid Girl War begin!”
Boom!
Along with Chen Yu’s declaration, the cloud pattern in the sky changed from 10 to 9…
