Chapter 221: Chapter 218: Impact

The Dancing Nuclear Guild eventually recruited seven NPCs, including four males and three females, with just one minor girl… the very one who pointed at Jiang Qiao and continuously called him a big chicken~.

These seven NPCs were all placed in the quarantine zone of the Dancing Nuclear Guild’s stronghold, unaware they were living in a quarantine zone, where they managed to produce fifty little hearts per day for the entire guild member.

After Zhao Mingwei logged off, Yelena, who used to be called the heart-making machine, stopped producing any affection, no matter how the other guild members tried to amuse her.

Other guilds also began to move into a stable phase of development, and during this period, the only major event was that players had killed the Island Master of the Gorge region, a creature that looked like a mix of a lion and a dragon.

The day finally came for the “Conflict” summer tournament finals, and as expected, it was the Dancing Nuclear Guild versus Reign Over the World in this final battle.

The attention on this final was extremely high… especially since Zhao Mingwei’s return as the overlord was a quite fascinating gimmick.

To watch this final… Little Feather even specially built an obsidian movie-screen-like wall in the middle of the stronghold to project the live broadcast of the finals on this obsidian wall.

All the available players in the Dancing Nuclear Guild gathered inside the stronghold, watching the final in this special way.

Yelena was now helping Lazylazy carry herbs, and as she passed by the center of the Dancing Nuclear Guild stronghold, she noticed everyone gathering around a pitch-black wall.

Unfortunately, as an NPC, Yelena couldn’t see the player interface windows, only the floating ID text above the players’ heads.

Over time, Yelena had learned to recognize people by the IDs floating above their heads.

Since some players were wearing a rainbow unicorn outfit the day before and then a big hippo outfit the next day.

Recognizing each player just by their appearance was quite exhausting.

Jiang Qiao noticed that Yelena was staring eagerly at the gathered people of the Dancing Nuclear Guild and, after thinking briefly, waved his hand to grant Yelena the permission to see the player windows.

In that moment, the world as seen by Yelena changed, and when she blinked again, she saw the images projected on the obsidian wall.

‘You can tell others, but remember to disguise it a bit.’ Jiang Qiao’s processed voice sounded in Yelena’s ear.

She tensed up and looked around, and after making sure no one was nearby, she gently nodded her head.

She recognized the voice; it was that of the big glowing orb she had met initially…

But soon, Yelena was captivated by the image on the obsidian wall.

The image on the obsidian wall depicted a chaotic battle, and the match between the Dancing Nuclear Guild and Reign Over the World had reached the final round.

“Damn! What is Black Pot doing! But Xiaoye’s maneuver is really fierce.”

“Didn’t old Zhao get weak this season? Coming back to win two rounds continuously… has the great devil returned?”

As Yelena approached, she heard some frantic discussions among the members of the Dancing Nuclear Guild.

From the projection on the obsidian wall, the Dancing Nuclear Guild was clearly at a significant disadvantage now.

This match was a five-on-five team match… and the highest remaining health among the Dancing Nuclear Guild characters was barely below thirty percent.

Xiaoye… Yelena remembered this was the nickname the spirits used for her master. Was the projection on the obsidian wall from the world where her master was?

With this doubt, she found the Fluffy Rabbit holding a box of quick heart-saving pills.

“Sister Fluffy Rabbit, do you know what my master is doing now?” Yelena asked very cleverly, but Fluffy Rabbit was still startled by Yelena suddenly appearing beside her.

“Your… your master? Xiaoye…” Fluffy Rabbit’s fuzzy ears stood erect in an instant as she glanced toward the live broadcast screen.

Your master is currently thrashing us in the match!

Fluffy Rabbit really wanted to select all of Yelena’s dialogue options at once, but at that moment, Lazylazy started shaking Fluffy Rabbit’s shoulders frantically.

“It’s a throw! Someone from Reign Over the World has thrown! We might have a chance to turn around!”

“What? What? Ugh… what turnover, Reign Over the World has come back again.”

“It’s over… all over, but it’s just a summer tournament championship after all.”

Suddenly, the entire Dancing Nuclear Guild stronghold erupted in wails, leaving those NPCs who couldn’t see the spirits’ interface utterly baffled.

But Yelena knew the reasons why these spirits were wailing.

Because on the projection screen, a fighting character kicked out the most crucial core damage dealer of the Dancing Nuclear Guild.

The last critical match ended in this devastatingly swift manner, culminating in a dominated defense of the summer championship.

Yelena silently looked up at the screen.

When the screen shifted from the game to the real world, Yelena realized that many things in the live broadcast were unfamiliar to her… very strange.

The metallic stage, the golden streamers floating down from the sky… but some things are universal in any world.

For example, the cheers from the audience were like a tidal wave, and Yelena hazily realized that these cheers were not for anyone else, but for her mentor, Zhao Mingwei.

The entire team from the Domination walked onto the stage and lifted the trophy of the summer competition.

Afterward, the event host naturally chose Zhao Mingwei, who performed the best and was the most popular, for the interview.

Zhao Mingwei looked very different in reality compared to his in-game character.

Yet Yelena recognized him at a glance: that slightly shy guy wearing glasses, her mentor… the fierce Emperor Tiger with powerful psychic energy.

“Congratulations, Laugh Master, on securing your fourth summer championship. Everyone here is cheering for you. What would you like to say to the audience here today?” the host asked.

The host handed the microphone to Zhao Mingwei, who briefly paused before saying expressionlessly,

“Thank you all for buying tickets.”

This response from Zhao Mingwei triggered laughter from the crowd, rendering the members of the Dancing Nuclear Guild somewhat jealous.

“Thanking for buying tickets, that’s so real.”

“Still the same phrase, you’re still Laugh Master, truly a man known as the ‘Great Devil.’ With Laugh Master warming up, the continental competition should be stable now, right?”

The surrounding players discussed it, but Yelena did not understand a word. The host then asked Zhao Mingwei another question.

“Laugh Master, your performance exceeded everyone’s expectations. With the continental competition coming up soon, what are your thoughts for after the competition?” the host asked.

Such a question… normally the answer would be aiming for the continental or world championship, and members of the Dancing Nuclear Guild also thought the answer would be along those lines.

But Zhao Mingwei slightly pursed his lips and said in a low voice,

“After this continental competition, I should consider retiring.”

This remark left the audience unable to laugh, causing even the stage host to awkwardly shift to another topic to alleviate the current awkwardness.

The members of the Dancing Nuclear Guild were completely stunned, but before they could discuss it further… a deafening explosion suddenly came from behind Yelena.

The heat wave from the explosion knocked Yelena to the ground… When Yelena regained her senses and turned to look behind her, her herb garden was ablaze.

In the smoke from the burning fire, a giant dragon-like creature was roaring at the sky.

The scorching flames began to spread from within the herb garden…

“A lord-level monster? When did it get to our stronghold?”

“Send out alerts! Place your bets! Take quick heart-saving pills! Those who might drop dead, gather up! A monster has infiltrated our stronghold!”

“No, no! The walls haven’t been breached. It’d be normal if a small mole-rat had come in, but how did such a huge lord-level creature get in? Could it be that the system is spawning monsters in player strongholds?” Xiao Feather shouted as he watched the herb garden burn down in an instant.

As Xiao Feather shouted, a prompt appeared before his eyes: ‘NPC affected by Blood Resonance has begun to rampage.’

“Blood Resonance, I thought it was some spreading disease! Fuck! It’s a curse that turns NPCs into monsters! That means… there are five more?” Xiao Feather watched in despair as, indeed, after several more explosive noises… five more lord-level monsters appeared within the stronghold.

The most devastated area was the lazy herb garden.

As for the mining area… Xia Shan had already taken precaution at the first explosion and packed all her treasures into her backpack.

“Five lord-level creatures at once? Damn it, wasn’t the match over? Where’s the guild leader? Call the guild leader online!” someone in the guild panicked.

“I’ve already messaged the guild leader, but… there’s no VR equipment in the venue, and the guild leader is still looking!” Velvet Rabbit said anxiously, “For now, let’s lure the five lord-level monsters outside the stronghold!”
