Chapter 163: The Tower of Cyber Brain VS The Judgement of Genesis Part 1
Requiem For Armies. ๐๐งโฏ๐๐๐๐๐ป๐ัต๐ฆ๐.com
It was one of the first games to be ever released in VR using the Full Dive technology, but even now it is considered a masterpiece when it comes to FPS genre. It even featured something that was called โOff-line Story Modeโ, a short campaign when you assume the role of a nameless soldier and are partnered with Jack, a faceless mercenary who travels all around the world and engages in various conflicts in order to prevent the outbreak of a nuclear war.
When it comes to Jack, he was always wearing a helmet and a mask imitating the Jack-O-Lantern, and his real face was unknown to anyone. Even though his role was support only, he would always say that his face was โway too gruesome to reveal it to anyoneโ.
Apparently this is the source of the cosplay that I was forced to wear right now.
[Since it covers your face completely, isnโt it just perfect for you?] [But donโt you think itโs way too early for Halloween?]
You say that, butโฆโฆ Isnโt this thing too elaborate to be a mere cosplay tool? It even has a voice changer function and a part of it can be opened to expose the face that was under the helmet. I feel that it was something meant for something completely different than the purpose I assumed for it.
[When it comes to me, Iโm playing the part of a female knight who still protects the castle of her lord, even though said lord is no more. Thatโs a fairly well-known character that is popular throughout the audience.] [Ah, right, right.] [How should I put itโฆโฆ? You sure are bold, guys.] f๐ซee๐โฏ๐no๐ฏ๐l.c๐ฐm
Although they were giving us some weird looks, the staff members guided us to the place where our other teammate from Nitro Squad, Natsume-san, was already waiting. She was pacing about the place, clearly nervous from the incoming Exhibition Match.
Certainly, if one was not nervous about having to play against the US team that is one of the strongest in the entire world, one would need to have something wrong with their head.
[You know how it is. The more people watch us, the better your performance, right?] [โฆโฆ Why plural?] [As for me? Well, weโre going into Full Dive either way, right? So does it even matter? Itโs not like weโre going to see the crowd.]
Since the audience cannot be transported into the game, I think that there is no point in feeling any kind of tension because of their presence. That being said, the reason why I hide my face is purely role-play related, with no sense of shame or awkwardness towards large crowds.
[If it bothers you so much, why donโt you try this? Try writing โGodโ kanji on the palm of your hand over and over again, it should relax you in a matter of seconds.] [โฆโฆ Wouldnโt you normally write โhumanโ instead of โgodโ?] [Fufu, I like that idea. But when my turn comes, Iโll be sure to write โGodโ.]
Let me guess: you write โGodโ just so you can eat that word in hopes of becoming stronger? However, will that really be enough to help us win this thing?
[Alright then, time to review our strategy one last time. And Natsume-san? Could you please stop shaking like a god damn Chihuahua? Youโre not helping anyone in here, and heck, youโre not even helping yourself.] [Chihuaโฆโฆ!?]
I guess that being compared to a small dog dealt a huge blow to Natsume-sanโs self-esteem, but letโs omit her reaction.
Meanwhile, Pencilgton operated her rental tablet and opened a browser at the GGCโs official website and then puts the tablet on the table so that we could all see it.
[The gameโs system is a win-through system, meaning that if you manage to win your match, you get to fight the next person on the enemy team until you get defeated yourself. So for us to achieve our goalโฆโฆ is to prolong the matches until time runs out instead of winning or losing.]
It was certainly a system that would allow us to play for time for an hour or twoโฆโฆ Having a three people team, that is. And it must be enough until Katsu manages to get back and save our asses from a total compromitation.
[Thereโs no way that Sylvia will come as first or second pickโฆโฆ If they want her to play against Katsu, just like he wanted, they will surely save her for last.]
Yes, the main focus of this operation was not the issue of us being able to win against the macho players, because we can work around that with ease. The problem would be the place from which Silvia Goldberg would start.
Even bigger problem would be if she was on any other position than the last.
ใIf it comes to that, weโll have to play it by ear and adjust accordingly. But even if Natsume-chan or I go downโฆโฆ Iโm sure that our Sanraku-kun will be able to pull something close to a miracle out of his sleeve!ใ
Thatโs right. If the first in line, Natume-san, manages to win one match and then lose one, then Pencilgton will have to take on the next in line from Star Rain. But if Pencilgton does the same thing, we might end up with not enough time to stallโฆโฆ
And worst case scenario, I will be forced to go against Silvia Goldberg myself.
Honestly, it would be ideal if those two could stall for about an hour and a half, or even two hours. Then, Katsu would surely be able to make it in time. However, no one here was foolish enough to think that things would go so smoothly for us.
Thatโs because our opponents are Pro Gamers who know their craft well. On the other hand, Katsu was probably the only one on our team who would be on part with them when it comes to skill.
ใThey say that nothing gets the God to laugh harder than making a planโฆโฆ Even so, weโve gotta do what weโve gotta do! Letโs put on one heck of show instead of this idiot who canโt be here for now!ใ
