Chapter 1781
by 林方方Chapter 1781 Player Shen Qingzhu, Death
Only three people dying would be considered a game failure, which means there’s more room for maneuver – good news for them.
“That’s fine,” Lin Qiye nodded slightly. “Be careful.”
Six gray wings extended from Shen Qingzhu’s back, startling the surrounding audience. With a gust of wind, Shen Qingzhu’s figure swept across the entire venue from mid-air, finally landing steadily on the spacious stage.
After his body was digitized, most of the original Jitian Angel’s abilities had dimmed, leaving only a few basic ones, with flight being one of them.
The moment Shen Qingzhu landed on the stage, the LED screen on the stage floor with flowing lights suddenly lit up with a uniform red glow, bathing the entire venue in a crimson hue across nearly a thousand square meters.
“During the performance, no fan interaction is allowed~~”
Ai Meimei, singing and dancing at the center of the stage, apologetically wagged her index finger at Shen Qingzhu, then playfully winked with her right eye.
Shen Qingzhu was prepared for this and immediately closed his eyes.
—Skill 1 judgment… judgment ineffective.
“Sorry about this,” Shen Qingzhu calmly spoke. His fingertips lifted slightly, and the air in front of him suddenly distorted. A dazzling flame ignited from nowhere, instantly transforming into a large fireball several meters in radius.
With a fireball of this size, eliminating an enemy with only 200 health points would be no problem. This was actually Shen Qingzhu deliberately weakening it many times over to avoid affecting nearby audience members… after all, 70,000+ attack power was no joke.
The moment the flames surged through the venue, the audience below let out a series of gasps.
Ai Meimei stood in the spotlight, but due to the existence of the “Death Wink” skill, Shen Qingzhu didn’t look at her and couldn’t see her expression. He simply released the fireball toward her approximate location!
But at that instant, several figures frantically climbed onto the crimson stage, shouting as they lunged toward Shen Qingzhu!
“Don’t hurt Meimei!!”
“Defend Meimei’s safety with our lives!!”
“Don’t be afraid, Meimei! Your sisters will protect you!”
The fireball flew across half the stage when an audience member deliberately crashed into it, instantly burning to ashes with a scream.
Shen Qingzhu’s pupils suddenly contracted!
Almost simultaneously, his body violently exploded!
Bang—!!
Blood splattered across the crimson stage like a blooming flower of flesh and blood, and Shen Qingzhu’s form completely vanished.
Player Shen Qingzhu, dead.
At the place of his death, a dark red countdown panel appeared:
—
—
—
—…
Seeing this, Lin Qiye and Youlilangbai’s expressions immediately became grave.
“Mission requirement 2: During the mission, no harm may be caused to ordinary audience members present, otherwise the one causing harm will immediately die…” Lin Qiye muttered in a deep voice. “Have those audience members gone mad? Rushing to sacrifice themselves to protect Ai Meimei?”
“Their setting is that they’re all Ai Meimei’s fanatical fans… they can’t stand by and watch her in danger,” Youlilangbai pondered for a moment. “However, Brother Qingzhu’s sacrifice has yielded some results. At least it warned us about the audience’s role and revealed the revival time after death.”
Just as Lin Qiye was about to say something, Ai Meimei’s crisp voice echoed through the venue again:
“It seems some bad people have snuck in… Security uncles, please do your best! Everyone, don’t worry, the next song ‘LoveiMi’ is for all of you~~ I hope everyone stays happy forever~”
As the cute music started playing, the venue heated up again. The audience completely forgot the bloody scene from moments ago, falling into a state of total frenzy.
—Ai Meimei activates Skill 3, [Security Team Summon]
The moment this small text appeared, several shadowy figures from the crowd darted toward Lin Qiye and Youlilangbai. They moved like ghosts through the bodies of all the audience members, moving freely through this venue packed with tens of thousands of people.
“This is bad. We absolutely cannot fight the security team here,” Youlilangbai immediately said. “There are too many audience members. Once we start fighting, we’ll inevitably cause collateral damage. If both of us get eliminated for breaking the rules, it’s an immediate game over!”
Lin Qiye’s gaze swept across the surroundings, quickly locking onto the outermost stands of the concert venue. Although those stands were also full of people, beneath them was an enclosed structure, likely staff passages surrounding the venue, or indoor spaces leading to swimming pools or badminton courts.
“Ai Meimei’s fanatical fans should all be concentrated in this venue where they can see her. There should be few people in the indoor spaces of the sports center. Let’s go there to face these security guards!” Lin Qiye decisively said.
Youlilangbai nodded, and the two quickly pushed through the crowd toward the indoor venue.
Unlike Shen Qingzhu, who entered the game with a flying ability, they could only move this way. Moreover, Lin Qiye didn’t dare use much force when pushing through the crowd, fearing his strength might “harm” these audience members and get him instantly eliminated.
But compared to the security team that could move ignoring terrain, they were much slower in the crowd. Before they reached the door to the indoor venue, three shadowy figures appeared behind them.
One bald security guard shouted angrily, his fists bursting with dark golden light, like two millstones smashing toward their backs!
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly as he flashed behind Youlilangbai, shielding him. The two dark golden millstones hit his back simultaneously, sending him flying out of the crowd like a kite with cut strings, crashing through the safety door of the indoor venue and landing in the corridor.
[-19723]
[-20113]
Two damage numbers floated above Lin Qiye as he slowly stood up from the shattered bricks, immediately checking on Youlilangbai below him, who hadn’t suffered any damage.
He sighed slightly in relief.
These security guards’ attack power was so high? One punch could deal twenty thousand damage?
It’s worth noting that Youlilangbai’s health was just over two thousand. If that punch had landed on him, he would have been killed instantly without question.
Of course… this was nothing to Lin Qiye. Even after taking two punches simultaneously, his health bar had only decreased slightly. His total health was over 1.1 million, so he’d lost less than 4%.
“Thank you, Brother Qiye,” Youlilangbai stood up, looking at the three security guards before them.
“Target: [Security Guard · Baldy]
Health:
Skills: [Charge], [Bull Strength], [Invincible Golden Body], [Macho Roar]”
As soon as he saw the bald security guard who had attacked them, a panel popped up. Youlilangbai had an “as expected” expression:
“These security guards all have impressive stats and abilities. They’re all elite monsters that shouldn’t be underestimated…”
“They can move ignoring terrain. If we don’t deal with them, they’ll keep hounding us,” Lin Qiye’s hand rested on his waist sword as killing intent spread from him. “I’m not good at games… but combat is my specialty.”
