Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 234 Irelia: Redemption of the Past!
This was a very handsome white man with long blond hair, a well-defined face, deep eyes, and high cheekbones. He held a short, spiritual scepter that glowed with purple light, and his eyes were full of mockery.

The next second, lines of text appeared above the other person's head—

[Snow Eagle] (Psionicist, Tier 4)
Rating: 44
Guild: Age of Exploration
Position: Alliance Leader

Regional ranking: 3
Faction: Dark Tide

……

Sure enough, he was a player belonging to the Dark Tide organization and ranked very high in his region!
"Shh!"

Before I could speak, Xueying flicked his staff, and a crack appeared in the air a meter in front of me. His mental energy condensed into spiritual energy and struck me directly. Immediately afterward, a terrible feeling of sluggishness came from my limbs!

Mind Blast, a Tier 1 skill for Psionicists, deals 150% Psionic damage and inflicts a slight stun effect!
The next second, the scepter in Xueying's hand instantly transformed into a purple submachine gun, and it was a submachine gun equipped with a silencer. With a series of "poof poof poof" sounds, it immediately began close-range firing!

"grass!"

My eyes turned cold, and I quickly raised my hand to block in order to avoid being shot in the head. At the same time, I burned 10 points of Yuan Power, and instantly wisps of stardust radiance appeared around me. The defensive effect of the Stardust Wall caused the bullets to clang and clatter around the outer edge of the Stardust Wall. Although they kept shattering stardust fragments, they did not cause any damage!

Dragon-Binding Rope!
The next moment, the opponent's figure was locked in, and the Dragon Binding Rope skill was unleashed!
From underground, strands of golden dragon vines rose rapidly, tightly binding Xueying from the knees down.

"You bastard!"

He cursed in broken Chinese, then unleashed a burst of psionic energy with a flick of his fingers, instantly creating a psionic chain beneath his feet, rendering him immobile for a short time.

"Shh!"

Instantly switch to the orange UZI, aim at the opponent's head and unleash a barrage of shots!
Xueying was bound to the spot by the Dragon Binding Rope and could not move, but he could still use his skills. He raised his hand and unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, which turned into a spiritual energy barrier!
In an instant, the dense barrage of UZI bullets was completely absorbed by the psionic barrier, as if they had vanished into thin air.

"what happened?!"

Just then, a player from the Crimson Sky Alliance emerged from the black market. He was a sword-wielding super weapon user. Upon seeing me and the other player locked in combat, he immediately switched to a submachine gun and prepared to join the battle!

However, at that very moment, a silver light flashed in Xueying's pupils, instantly taking control of the opponent's mind!
Mind Control, a second-tier skill for psionicists, has a certain chance to temporarily control an enemy to fight for you for 1.5 seconds. The higher your mental strength multiplier, the higher the success rate.

This sword-wielding super weapon user from the Crimson Cloud Alliance clearly has very low mental strength, yet he was completely controlled by a skill with an extremely low success rate!
The next second, he fired his submachine gun at me!
"Depend on……"

I cried out in despair and hurriedly raised the Lord's Shield to block the enemy's shot. At the same time, I used a burst of energy to charge and lock onto Snow Eagle's position!

"Pong!"

Amidst the booming sound of air, a golden light appeared on Xueying's body, indicating that he had activated an invincible burst technique!

The next moment, he erected a psionic shield, and at the same time, he waved his psychic scepter continuously. Instantly, a psionic burning skill was attached to my body, and a sharp tearing sound rang out in the air. With a "whoosh," a blade full of chaotic energy fell from the sky and slammed hard into my shoulder!

"resistance!"

Psionic Blade, a Tier 4 skill for Psionicists, has a maximum damage critical hit rate of 800%, which should theoretically be quite painful. However, Stardust Wall is an SS-level skill, and the shield's resilience is related to the user's attack power. As a result, this barrier is so thick that it completely misses the opponent's 800% damage multiplier skill!

"what?!"

Xueying was shocked and hurriedly took out a dark blue object from his pocket.

Phase teleportation core!
I recognized it immediately. Good grief, you think you can just run away when you can't win? Not so easy!
In an instant, with lightning-fast reflexes, the Wind Chaser switched to Wind Chaser, accompanied by the deep hum of the power sword's disintegration field. The sword light flashed past, delivering a direct Rising Dragon Slash right to the face!

"40872!"

I only intended to interrupt their teleportation process, but I didn't expect it to be instantly killed...

The power sword's damage is too high, and the max-level Rising Dragon Slash deals 400% damage. With my attack power, it's more than enough to kill this fragile psionicist.

"Sizzle~~~Bang~~~"

In the void, the outline of the opponent's extradimensional storage space slowly emerged, then shattered, exploding into a pile of treasures. Among them, purple light shimmered, making people's hearts itch. The opponent's submachine gun and mental power scepter were both purple-grade equipment. In addition, he possessed a phase teleportation core and an invincible burst skill ring. This was probably why he dared to accept this assassination mission.

However, someone who dares to infiltrate the Crimson Dragon Kingdom and kill a well-known player within your faction must have some mental issues. Otherwise, who in their right mind would be so brainless?
There's not much to say, really. It's just prejudice and arrogance; white players have always had an innate sense of superiority.

I quickly collected all the spoils from the area into my other-dimensional storage space.

"I rely on..."

At this moment, the level 41 sword-wielding super weapon user from the Crimson Cloud Alliance walked over, looking ashamed, and said, "Ding Han, I'm sorry... Damn it, I was controlled by this guy just now. I didn't mean to shoot you."

"I know, I saw the combat notification."

I gave him a warm smile: "Brother, you didn't even think before pulling out your gun to help, I should be thanking you..."

"Where, where..."

He scratched his head awkwardly: "Not only did I not help, but I actually made things worse. If it weren't for your strong survival skills, I probably would have made a big mistake just now."

As he spoke, he looked at the corpse on the ground: "Was this a player?"

"Yes, a player from the Dark Tide faction."

I kicked the other person's corpse and said, "Let the Dragon Alliance Leader send someone over to clean up this mess. This place is not safe to stay any longer. I'm leaving now. If the Dragon Alliance Leader asks later, just say that this player accepted the Dark Tide faction's mission to assassinate me, but was killed instead. It's that simple."

"Okay, you go ahead, I'll take care of things here!"

...After leaving the player black market, I didn't go home. Instead, I went straight into a laptop store in the ancient city and spent 8000 star coins to buy a high-performance Hasee laptop.

Then, he said to the shop assistant, "Brother, can I connect to your network? I need to take care of something here."

"sure!"

The shop assistant unplugged his network cable and plugged it in for me, smiling, "Please use it."

"Thanks!"

I nodded, pulled up a chair, sat in the corner of the store, and took out a blue USB drive from my storage space. It had been found in Xueying's other-dimensional storage space.

The next second, it showed that the USB drive was encrypted.

This was no challenge for me, a level 10 programming expert. I cracked it in just two minutes. The moment I finished cracking it, the data on the USB drive was shocking. It was a list of experiments related to the Dark Tide Pandora Solution, which recorded the names of a large number of test subjects who were injected with the solution.

Among them are Chinese names, English names, and some languages ​​that are incomprehensible.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, a rather familiar name flashed before my eyes.

Irelia!

"No way?"

I clicked directly into her details, and the capture location appeared: Dongquan Town!

It's really her!

In an instant, I sat in the chair, a slight tingling sensation running through my body, my memory rushing back to the first chapter… That Popeye the Sailor Moon girl was actually a really nice person; if she hadn't taken me in, I probably would have been eaten by some alien creature in the wilderness long ago…

Scrolling down further, the information was confirmed: the place where Irelia was being held was called Laboratory 205, which was presumably one of the many laboratories of the Dark Tide, while the laboratory that I and Left Hand escaped from was called the Deadmines, though the exact number was unclear.

Quickly open the map and calibrate the location of Laboratory 205. The laboratory is located in the wilderness about 200 kilometers away from Creek City, a desolate area where nothing but alien species and insect nests exist. Even wanderers are unwilling to go to such a place.

Should we go save her?

A voice echoed in my mind: there is still one Resurrection Codex, and it also has an extra Phase Teleportation Core, providing an additional means of survival and a margin for error.

Of course we should save them!

The very next second, the moment I made my decision, a pleasant ding-dong sound rang in my ears—

[You have triggered the main quest: 〖Irelia - A Redemption of the Past!〗 (S-rank)! Quest objective: Venture alone to Dark Tide Laboratory 205 to find Irelia. Regardless of your success or failure, you should do something to repay her for saving your life in the past. Upon completion of the quest, you will receive a very generous reward!]

……

It actually triggered an S-rank main quest!
That's right. When I arrived in Star Abyss, the first person I met was Irelia. She has now been captured by the Dark Tide organization, which should have been one of my main quests!

However, the closest phase teleportation array to Base 205 is the one southwest of Creek City, which is still at least 180 kilometers away from Laboratory 205. It's not practical to walk there, and renting a vehicle would be too troublesome as you'd have to return it. Besides, the temporary market at the teleportation array only rents pickup trucks, which aren't very useful in the complex terrain of the wilderness.

After glancing at the star coins in my interdimensional storage space, it seems like it's time to buy myself a vehicle!

So, he packed up his computer, left the store, and headed straight for the black market for gamers.

……

"Old horse!"

In the bustling crowd, I grabbed the horse-faced man.

"Hey, Ding Han, you're back!"

Old Ma laughed heartily: "Is BH City fun?"

I immediately recalled the moment I jumped into the icy lake to save Lu Xiaobei, and said sullenly, "Not very fun..."

"Haha~~~"

Old Ma asked, "I've come to see you this time to ask for something in return?"

"Old Ma, do you sell vehicles here?" I asked.

"Vehicle?"

Old Ma raised an eyebrow: "Motorcycles, jeeps, trucks, I have everything you can get your hands on. As for military transport planes, we don't have any yet, but judging from the Red Dragon Kingdom's attitude towards us players, it's only a matter of time before the player organization's higher-ups get their hands on fighter jets."

"Alright, stop bragging. I want to buy an off-road motorcycle, the super durable kind. Don't try to fool me. If this off-road motorcycle doesn't perform well in the wilderness, I'll crawl back to settle the score with you!"

"Fuck..."

Old Ma took a deep breath: "Stop talking, buddy, I'll take you straight to see the coolest off-road motorcycles in the base!"
