Chapter 162: Gun!

"Freeze."

Click!

Cheng Haixing pressed down on a Shadow Soldier.

He used ice magic to control it, then smashed it with his wand!

Crash!

"I have to say, that Magic Core the kid gave me is really handy," Cheng Haixing said.

Cheng Haixing slowly put away his wand and saw Jiang Quan, with a sword, looking helpless. "Sir, the wand isn’t meant to be used like that."

"Do you want to know what a sorcerer is?" Cheng Haixing asked.

"This isn’t our local Taoist, he’s both close combat and ranged, with control abilities, you’re definitely a ranged class!" Jiang Quan exclaimed.

Cheng Haixing was puzzled, "Is there a difference?"

Jiang Quan sighed, "There’s a big difference, but never mind, as long as you’re happy."

Seeing Shadow Soldier being killed by Cheng Haixing and others, an old man hurried over, "Thank you, King Qin’s tyranny, even in death, he wants to become a ghost emperor, controlling us!"

"Please save us!"

Cheng Haixing walked up slowly, "Please tell us more."

The old man sighed, "After King Qin’s death, the world fell into chaos, but surprisingly, the chaos lasted less than three years."

"I heard that King Qin once sent people to sea, searching for the legendary elixir of immortality."

"Some say King Qin fell seriously ill, and his days were numbered, so he urgently needed the elixir to extend his life."

"But no one expected that the so-called elixir of immortality obtained by King Qin was actually a method of transferring the soul to objects, a way to remain in the world after death!"

Transferring the soul to objects?

Cheng Haixing frowned, "What about the twelve Ghost Generals, did they also transfer their souls to objects?"

The old man nodded, "Yes, but these tokens have always been kept close to them, almost never leaving their side."

"They wake up in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, fighting for royal power in life, and coming back for royal power in death. If you want to deal with the ghost generals, make sure not to let them gather together!"

"Once King Qin and the ghost generals come together, this world will be engulfed by ultimate darkness!"

Ultimate darkness, huh?

Cheng Haixing thought for a moment, "So Qin Shi Huang is the final boss on this level, how do we summon him then?"

Just as Cheng Haixing was talking with the old man, suddenly, countless Ghost Shadow Corps appeared all around them!

These Ghost Shadow Corps had one thick arm, one thin arm, and their bodies were very uncoordinated, even their heads were crooked.

This was exactly like the alliance Cheng Haixing and his friends had seen in real life.

Jiang Quan and Cheng Haixing glanced at each other, the players from the War Song Guild immediately understood and showed their weapons.

"President."

"Don’t worry… the main character hasn’t arrived yet."

Cheng Haixing just finished speaking when an old man in armor, with long hair and a height of over two meters, slowly appeared.

He had a half-faced ghost pattern on his chest, his expression looked very gentle, with a hint of a smile.

The newcomer was none other than the city’s defender, Sima Cuo.

"As the saying goes, when a friend comes, you should go out to greet them, only then will you not lose courtesy. I am Sima Cuo, it is a pleasure to meet you."

"May I ask why you all are here?"

Cheng Haixing looked at Jiang Quan, blinked his right eye a few times.

It means not to act first, try to communicate according to the original plan.

"The famous General Sima, what do you think of yourself?"

Sima Cuo laughed and replied, "A servant’s duty is to follow the wishes of the ruler and be loyal."

"I am not from a noble family, and being loyal to my duties simply means adapting to the ever-changing world and benefitting from different situations. That is my philosophy as a pragmatist."

"Following Qin, one must go with the flow of the trend."

"Although I did not assist the First Emperor, recognizing his achievements in history, I am willing to have a place in the future generations’ memory. In that case, being loyal to duty might still be possible."

Sima Cuo’s idea is quite simple.

He believes in adapting to different sides, like a weather vane, rather than being loyal to a king.

Also, he did not assist Qin Shi Huang.

But since Qin Shi Huang recognized his past contributions to the Qin Dynasty, allowing him to come back to life and serve the Qin Dynasty once more.

It’s only right to be loyal to King Qin in this life.

"Everyone, forgive me for being direct, you may not realize the consequences of what you are doing now."

"We are all just pawns, the more we think we can control our fate, the easier it is for fate to control us."

"Throughout history, it has always been the case that those involved cannot see the true form outside the chessboard."

Cheng Haixing frowned, "What is the true form outside the chessboard?"

Sima Cuo shook his head, "I am just a pawn in the game, how can I know what lies beyond the chessboard?"

"But if you all leave here now, without moving forward, perhaps you can avoid an unnecessary disaster."

"I have said my piece, I do not wish to fight with you, it would be best if you retreat, but if you insist on moving forward…"

"Then it shall be a battle."

Cheng Haixing rubbed his neck, "You’re talking in riddles, I hate people who can’t speak clearly the most."

"If you really want to solve something, you should be honest… You should tell everything you know without leaving out a single word."

"Isn’t that the right thing to do?"

Sima Cuo slowly closed his eyes, "Some words can be spoken without harm, some words lead to death when spoken, I have said all that should be said, if you do not reconsider, then there is only one battle left."

"Ghost Shadow Corps, unite!"

As the words fell, countless Ghost Shadow Corps merged together one after another!

But they didn’t merge into one individual, instead they merged into many huge individuals!

"Fight!"

Cheng Haixing shouted, and all the members of War Song Guild charged out!

"Clear the path for me, go straight to Sima Cuo!"

"Help the president clear the way!"

。。。

Outside the tower.

Cheng Haixing and others were revived one by one.

"The feeling is very different from Wang Chan’s."

"Is this the true strength of Sima Cuo’s Ghost Shadow Corps?"

"We were careless."

"This time, our opponent is not a young inexperienced person, but an old monster who once advocated attacking Shu."

"If only I had a complete gun."

"A gun?"

。。。

Outside the tower, in the wilderness.

The president of the Merchant Guild, Purple Dust, shook his head as he looked at the man in front of him, "Can it really work this time, or will it explode again?"

The man shook his head, "Last time it was the gunpowder ratio that was off, this time should be fine, just the barrel rifling is too poor."

"With the current conditions, it’s too difficult to create proper rifling. If only we could find experts to modernize the industry."

"In my opinion, if Violet Gold could be used in the industrial field, it would definitely bring a breakthrough to modern industry."

Purple Dust shrugged, "Assuming the physics in this game are truly 100% realistic, and if Violet Gold material truly possesses complete physical properties."

Bang!

With a loud explosion, a bullet hole suddenly appeared on a nearby rock!

Seeing this, Purple Dust’s eyes narrowed, "Didn’t you mention that without proper rifling, the gun’s power would be limited?"

The man grinned at the remark, "Yes, it is quite limited."

"But I made slight modifications, it’s my personal secret, can’t talk about it much."

"You just need to know one thing, from now on, we are entering the era of firearms!"
