There was a sudden loud noise ahead.

The roof of a damaged shopping mall exploded with a loud bang, creating a dazzling glow like fireworks under the dusk clouds.

Then there was a continuous burst of gunfire, curses and screams.

A few seconds later, in the blast, two figures were thrown high out from the broken wall.

Then it fell at their feet.

The two players fell to the ground, the health bars above their heads flickered for a moment, and then returned to zero.

The corpse gradually turned into white light and was reborn.

But the two men's weapons remained on the ground.

Su Yao's eyes paused.

In this game mode, each player can carry two sets of weapons, one set of firearms and one set of swords, each equipped with a different type of energy storage unit.

In addition, you can also pick up weapons left behind by others when they die.

However, you can only pick up one weapon at a time. Once you die, the weapon you picked up will disappear, leaving only your own equipment.

There are only a few types of weapons that novices can equip. If you want more, you have to upgrade and complete tasks.

You can only buy skins by spending money.

"this."

Su Yao stared at the weapons left behind by the players who had just died.

The two men were obviously teammates, and they used exactly the same weapons, two kinetic long blades with slender blades that flashed with cold silver light.

There is a switch for the force field generator on the handle.

She squatted down and picked up one of the knives. "It looks cool."

Su Yao pressed the switch, and a layer of silver destructive force field suddenly covered the blade, and the energy storage bar on the handle began to flash.

This is specifically designed to weaken enemy shields.

In order to avoid wasting energy, she quickly turned off the force field. "And it seems to be better than the little broken knife given by the novice?"

I tried the kinetic fists and daggers in the tutorial, and the attack range of those was a bit small.

Of course, all players in the game have the same physical fitness value.

It is said that the physical fitness is comparable to that of a D-level bloodline.

This causes her to be weaker than she actually is.

Su Yao could feel it after taking two steps. Her body was not as light as before and her breathing rate increased. The difference would be even more obvious during the fight later.

"Ok?"
Kyle responded noncommittally, "You like using this?"

Before he got an answer, he kicked up another power blade on the ground and raised his hand to grasp the hilt. "Want to try?"

In this mode, teammates can attack each other without losing health.

It's quite suitable for discussion.

Su Yao blinked and adjusted the pain of her teammates' injuries to the lowest level.

This means that even if you are stabbed, it will feel like being pricked by a toothpick at most, without breaking the skin.

"Let me say first," Su Yao looked at her teammates, "I can't do it with you, so I guess you can kill me with one move."

Only when the physical fitness is the same can the skills be more highlighted. A skilled practitioner may defeat an amateur with just one move.

Kyle was very calm and did not touch the stance switch on the knife. "We are still teammates. You can't die."

The handle of the knife turned a circle in his palm, forming a dazzling knife flower, and then was lightly pinched between his fingers.

Su Yao: "..."

There was a big difference in their stature, so an object of the same size looked like a one-handed sword to him, but it was clearly a dual-wielding weapon to him.

Su Yao weighed the long blade in her hand again. In terms of weight, she could hold it with one hand and wield it, but it didn't seem as comfortable as using two hands.

She sighed. "I mean... well, you know, the 'if this were true you'd be dead' kind of thing."

"I see," Kyle blinked, "What did you just say you couldn't do?"

Su Yao put the weapon in her hand on the ground.

Kyle gave him a quizzical look.

Su Yao kicked the knife handle.

The kinetic knife flew out horizontally and hit the stone pier next to it, making a crisp sound.

Kyle: “…………”

Su Yao walked over silently and picked it up. "Look, I want to be like you and kick it directly into my hand without bending over, but obviously I can't do it."

She thought her teammates might laugh at her or comfort her.

But neither.

Kyle just looked at her calmly. "If you can't directly understand how I exert my strength, don't imitate my movements completely."

He paused, "Try to cut me."

Su Yao took a deep breath, "Okay."

She raised her right hand, holding the hilt of the sword with her thumb, and grasped the back of the handle with her left hand. She held the blade upright at an angle and took a not-so-standard left-knee stance.

Kyle's eyes dropped to her hands, perhaps trying to correct her posture, but in the end he said nothing.

Su Yao raised her arm, and the blade drew a curve from top to bottom, slashing towards her teammate's head.

Considering that the other party might dodge, she did not use her full strength to prevent herself from losing balance.

But even so, she still shook slightly at the moment when the opponent blocked the blade with the back of the knife and pushed it away.

Su Yao tried to turn the long knife in her hand.
However, even though he raised his arms, he failed to make the second strike as the hard tip of the knife was pressing against his ribs.

Kyle still held the knife with one hand, but the handle had turned around at some point and was now in a reverse grip.

His elbows were half bent, maintaining a very convenient posture for exerting force.

Apparently, he didn't even need to move forward. With just a move of his forearm, the tip of the knife would pass through the gap between the ribs and directly into her heart.

Su Yao hesitated, "I, well, okay, I think it will be like this."

"...No," Kyle tilted his head and looked at her, "You don't think so."

Su Yao hesitated for a moment. "Well, actually I saw your movements, and I know what you want to do."

Now everyone's physical data is the same, so it is impossible for one person to swing a knife so fast that it is difficult for others to see clearly.

Su Yao puffed up her face, "But this body is not easy to use! If it were in reality, I would definitely be able to block this blow from you!"

Kyle didn't comment. "In real life, I certainly wouldn't... fight with someone like this."

indeed.
This guy claims to be fully awake.

Then fighting certainly doesn't require any weapons.

Su Yao would not say that in reality I could break the knife into five pieces at once.

After all, that's not a skill.

"But," she said frankly, "I really don't know anything about fighting techniques. You are very good, but I am a novice."

Kyle obviously didn't compete with her for the compliment, so he didn't seem too upset when he heard this.

He raised his hand, pressed the back of the knife against her forearm, and slowly pushed upward until her wrist was just above her shoulder.

"...With your current state and strength, it will be difficult to retract the shoulder."
He spoke slowly.

Su Yao looked thoughtfully at the knife raised above her head.

He turned his hand back, and the blade drew a half circle in the air. The back of the blade touched the inside of her wrist again and pressed down.

Su Yao's wrists stopped near her hips.

The cold back of the knife pressed against the back of her left hand, "...Don't hold your back hand so tightly."

The cold tip of the knife slowly moved across, stopping on the little finger, ring finger and middle finger in turn, as if tracing the outline of the finger bones.

Su Yao suddenly realized, "Is the order of exerting force correct?"

"Well," Kyle nodded slightly, "Let's try again."

Su Yao turned her hand without hesitation and made a similar chopping move as before, but with a much smaller amplitude.

As expected, this attack was blocked by the opponent, but she did not lose balance at all. She used the force of the rebound to slash diagonally for the second time, just in time to knock away the tip of the knife that was pushed to her ribs.

"……Wow!"
Su Yao looked down at the knife in her hand and said, "I learned it. Thank you, teacher."

Although my current body is not as good as the one in reality, it is far stronger than the humans in the world before I traveled through time. Their strength, speed and reaction are not even on the same level.

Kyle fed her a few more moves, and Su Yao felt that she was terribly strong.

Amid the sound of gunfire, she turned around, jumped over the wreckage of a car, ran wildly on the roofs of many cars, and rushed into the shopping mall opposite with a few leaps.

The building was dimly lit, with only the emergency lights on the wall flickering. In the distance were collapsed shelves and cabinets, the floor of the hall was full of potholes, and gunshots could be heard from upstairs from time to time.

She walked through the messy hall and went up the stairs of the emergency escape, pausing when she turned a corner.

--when!

She twisted her arm and used the long blade to block the oncoming battle axe, then pushed it upwards, turned her wrist, and stabbed the opponent in the chest with the blade.

At the same time, the destructive force field on the knife was activated.

The tip of the knife hit the player's shield, and the two force fields canceled each other out in the vibration.

Su Yao saw the shield bar below the opponent's health bar flashing wildly, and it reached the bottom in the blink of an eye.

Of course it wasn't full originally.

The long knife pierced the opponent's chest.

The player's body turned into white light.

The noise they made was not loud but not small either. She soon heard footsteps coming from upstairs again, as well as the hum of plasma flow in the magnetic field.

It is still a cold weapon.

Someone jumped down from the high stairs, and a cyan light-energy long knife chopped down. Su Yao didn't dare to take it head-on, so she leaned to the side and pushed it aside with the blade's downward force.

The man hadn't even stood up yet when he rushed out with a second blow. She blocked it in time and heard gunshots and screams coming from downstairs.

Su Yao didn't bother to think about what was happening next, and focused on fighting with the player in front of her.

The destructive force field collided with the plasma flow, causing ripples in the air and strange echoes.

The silvery-white light and the blue-green gas shone alternately, casting swaying human shadows on the blood-stained wall.

The opponent was not an expert either. He only used a few moves over and over again, and they were not very standard.

After a brief lesson, Su Yao could see that there was something wrong with this guy's posture, and she caught the flaw in time.

"……Grass!"

The player was stabbed several times and his shield was completely broken.

Su Yao's shield was still halfway there, and the advantage was already very obvious.

"Fuck you!"
The man gritted his teeth and cursed, "It's just this stupid game that allows you to suppress your physical stats. Otherwise, if it were in real life, I would be able to blow your head off with one punch."

Su Yao rolled her eyes. "Food is food. Why do you have to talk about reality? It's funny. If this were in reality——"

She paused.

In the corner of my eye, the tall figure of my teammate appeared in the stairwell on the lower level.

Su Yao thought about it and decided to maintain her golden gradient personality. "I've already scratched your face!"

The battle was quickly resolved.

The mall went quiet.

Kyle didn't go up any further, probably because he thought there was no one up there, so Su Yao went down as well, and saw the dead man's weapons left on the ground in the lobby on the first floor.

The corpse had long since disappeared and resurrected.

“I want to get a knife like this, too.”
Su Yao touched the kinetic long blade in her hand. "I looked at the acquisition tasks, and they can only be completed in multiplayer games with more than four people."

Kyle looked indifferent, "Go ahead."

Su Yao blinked. "Do you have any tasks you want to do? Or weapons you want? Or skins you want, I can give you krypton gold as tuition?"

He shook his head without hesitation, "They are all the same."

She wanted to ask him if all weapons were similar or if he didn't care about the skin, but then she thought maybe the answer was yes to both.

Su Yao clicked quit, and after a brief settlement, she rejoined a four-player match on a small map.

The previous game was on a medium to large map, and the players' activity range was measured in square kilometers, so they could stand and chat without being disturbed.

Small maps are different. They are usually limited to a building area, making it easy to encounter hostile players.

The other two wild teammates matched, No. 1 and No. 2, are now on the roof.

The map for this game is a campus. Su Yao was born in an underground garage. As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard an explosion from above.

She pulled out the bolter from her waist, held the gun in one hand and the kinetic dagger in the other, then turned and ran towards the escape stairs.

As soon as the automatic door opened, a person rushed out from the stairs.

Su Yao pulled the trigger reflexively, and the red bomb hit the barrier. The scorching fire waves surged, destroying the opponent's only remaining shield.

The man raised the long sword in his hand, a layer of frost covered the blade, and rushed forward with a roar.

She raised her left hand and barely blocked the sword with the dagger, but she felt uncomfortable due to the cold air that swept over her, and her entire left arm began to stiffen.

Fortunately, the gun was fully charged, so the second blaster took out the player.

...It was a good thing that the opponent didn't have a full health bar and shield, otherwise it would have been troublesome.

Su Yao took out the healing tool, applied gel on her frostbitten left arm, and then picked up the sword on the ground.

This is a psychic weapon with an energy converter on it that can use elemental power.

The size and weight of this knife were different from the previous ones, so she definitely couldn't just copy the movements, but the brief teaching also gave her some inspiration to apply what she had learned.

Su Yao looked at the small map again.

Number three, also known as Kyle, is on the middle floor, and numbers one and two are still on the upper floor but are moving downwards.

She planned to fight her way up and join them.

But there were an insane number of people in the building, and she went up five floors and encountered seven people, some of whom were in the middle of a fight and threw grenades at her without hesitation.

Su Yao emptied all the energy storage units on her body and was shot in the head by a sniper in the opposite building.

"..."

She revived on the middle floor.

Before I had time to be happy, I saw my teammates arguing.

The other two unfamiliar teammates came down from the roof.

In a classroom with desks and chairs overturned, Teammate No. 1 was swearing at Kyle.

"You are trying to steal my head, right?!"
Number One said with a stern look on his face, "I was the one who crippled him. He ran to you. Didn't I tell you not to move in the chat?"

Kyle looked at him calmly and said, "I turned off the channel."

"Fuck, noobs like you just need to stand far away and wait to gain experience points, don't interfere with me helping the boss achieve achievements! This mode has friendly fire, if you mess with me again, I will kill you repeatedly here until you run out of resurrections——"

Su Yao heard this as soon as she came in.

She raised the bolter and pulled the trigger without hesitation, shooting Number One in the back.

This novice weapon is powerful, but has many limitations.

For example, the cooling and charging time is long, it cannot fire continuously, and once the distance is a little far, the damage is greatly reduced.

So, even though No. 1’s shield was broken and she was still at low health, she was not killed instantly by the shot because she was standing far away.

But only bloody skin was left as he fell to the ground.

Su Yao walked over slowly, "What's the matter, you lead people to achieve achievements, do you want to share the money you earn with us?"

Since you cannot log into other people's accounts, there is no leveling service in the holographic game. However, there are some players with good skills who will take orders to help others complete difficult tasks.

Of course, there is a charge for this.

These players who take orders generally just make some extra money, and rarely make a living from it.

After all, people who can afford a gaming cabin are usually not too short of money.

"Grass!"

Teammate No. 1 on the ground groaned and cursed, "Bitch, sneak attack is nothing, just wait for me - I'm fucking -"

Su Yao raised her foot and kicked No. 1 in the stomach, kicking back the rest of the insults.

"You don't want to share the money, right? Then why should others cooperate with you? Is it because you are foul-mouthed and have no manners? With your ability, you can only come to the low-score match to make a fool of yourself! If you have the guts, just play a duo match with four people! It's not like the game doesn't give you the choice!"

This kick directly wiped out the opponent's remaining blood.

"You are a jerk who let the enemy run away and you blame others?! You keep talking about fighting and killing and you are still swearing. What if you scare my teammates? If they get sick, will you compensate them?"

Number One turned into white light and disappeared.

Teammate No. 2 was stunned. "You, you? Who did you scare?"

There are only four people in the team, and this new number four can only be number three.

Number Two turned his head and looked at Kyle next to him.

Number Two: “…”

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it could be scared!

Immediately afterwards, the dead No. 1 was resurrected in the classroom.

He was obviously very angry, his whole face was distorted, and he kept cursing. Regardless of the fact that the force field shield had not yet been fully charged, he pulled out the subsonic energy gun from his waist.

"You two bastards! Go to hell!"

Players who dare to take orders and bring people with them are more or less capable.

The speed with which he drew his gun was already very standard, but Kyle clearly had no interest in learning his marksmanship.

and so--

Before No. 1 could steady his weapon, Kyle raised his leg and kicked him in the arm, dislocating his elbow.

Number One screamed and let go of the gun, which fell to the ground.

The next second, the thick sole of the combat boot hit his temple.

The game also has settings for the reactions to attacks on different parts of the body, and this one directly made him dizzy.

Number One staggered and fell to the ground.

Kyle lowered his right leg and crushed his cervical vertebrae.

Number One turned into white light again.

"???"

Number Two stared at the scene in amazement.

——The guy’s hands were even in his trouser pockets the whole time, and his left foot didn’t move at all. He only moved his right leg from beginning to end.

"look!"

The black-haired girl next to him spoke angrily, "You scared my teammates into killing people!"

Number Two: “?”

"Well," the black-haired man also spoke slowly, "I was scared."

Number Two: “…………”

Number Two: "Are you two sick?"

Number Two quickly quit the game.
