Chapter 173: Shanghai Battle (1)

Chapter 173 – Shanghai Battle (1)

Shanghai, in a certain pedestrian street…

Whoosh.

Whoosh, whoosh…

Animated characters with large heads and chubby bodies ran out of the Interstellar Portal one after another, causing panic and confusion among the surrounding pedestrians.

Among these pedestrians, some of the more timid ones had promptly fled from the scene. In contrast, the more courageous ones remained to observe. However, after most of the fleeing people had run a distance, they started pulling out their phones and recording the animated characters.

To prevent anyone from running through the portal, once Chen Yu saw that all participants had crossed the portal, he promptly disconnected the spatial link. Facing the camera, he said, “Through a democratic discussion, we have chosen Shanghai as the confrontation location. All viewers living in Shanghai are welcome to spectate. Since this is an interactive event, those that aren’t chosen may come here directly to join.”

[Discussion my ass. You mean up to your decision, right?]

[Is it really fine to host the fight in Shanghai?]

[He’s not wearing the T-rex armor. There are also not many people present to see them.]

[Crap! My house is just nearby! I’m going now!]

[Those nearby quickly head over. The police are definitely going to seal off the area in a moment.]

[I just boarded a train at Inner Mongolia. I’ll be there right away.]

[Why not in Beijing?!]

Standing straight, Chen Yu scanned the surrounding pedestrians before ignoring them. He then received the metal cube Little Peach handed him, placed it on the ground, and pressed down on the shiny power button.

Buzz!

A virtual screen appeared above the metal cube.

“As you can see, there are three game modes: Conquest, Siege, and Competition.”

When Chen Yu tapped his finger on the ‘Conquest’ button, a series of instructions appeared on the screen.

“The rules are simple. In Conquest mode, players will have to cover up to an area of 10,000 square meters in their respective colored paint for 10 minutes. When the time limit is reached, the team that has covered a larger area in paint wins. In this mode, players killed will respawn 30 seconds later.”

When the distant pedestrians saw that Chen Yu’s group didn’t pose any danger to them, they started approaching the group step by step. The fear and panic on their faces also slowly turned into curiosity.

“As for the other two modes, we’ll talk about them later. Now, let’s start the Conquest mode.”

After saying so, Chen Yu pressed on the ‘Confirm’ option.

Boom!

The next moment, a loud thunder suddenly came from above!

When everyone looked up, they discovered that two clouds had suddenly appeared 50 meters up in the air, and the two clouds formed the number ’10’.

Following which, four walls of light appeared 100 meters away from the metal cube’s front, back, left, and right. The walls joined together to enclose a 10,000 square meter area.

“Excellent. Now, everyone spread out. This square area will be the battlefield. Whichever team covers the most area in their respective paint 10 minutes later, wins,” Chen Yu said. He then turned toward the donation group’s four dazed members and continued, “The team that wins will obtain an unknown prize.

“Let the Squid Girl Battle begin!”

Boom!

The two clouds in the air exploded, transforming from the number 10 to 9.

Boom!

9 changed to 8.

Boom!

8 changed to 7.

Meanwhile, the pedestrians watching this scene gaped in shock, their minds falling into disarray.

[I’m arriving soon! Don’t start yet!]

[What a spectacle…]

[What a fantastic game. I want to play too.]

[FFFFF.]

[What’s the prize?]

[Maybe it’s the female assistant.]

Boom!

<ol start=”2″>

Boom!

…

At this time, many of the ignorant bystanders standing inside the enclosed area had a bad premonition. Immediately, they turned around and fled. At the same time, though, many excited people outside tried to charge into the enclosure.

Boom!

“Conquest, start!”

As the clouds in the sky exploded once more, the 10 participants pulled their respective triggers without hesitation.

Takka… Takka… Takka…

Takka! Takka! Takka!

Under the stunned gazes of the surrounding spectators, numerous jets of paint shot into the air and splattered on the ground.

“Hahaha!” Little Peach felt incomparable excitement. While pulling tightly on her submachine gun’s trigger, she dashed straight for Chen Yu.

In response, Chen Yu unholstered his twin pistols and readied himself. As soon as Little Peach ran within 10 meters of him, he commanded, “Down her!”

Takka! Takka!

Takka! Takka! Takka!

The donation group’s five members simultaneously launched a carpet of blue paint that drowned Little Peach.

Boom!

Little Peach’s laughter abruptly stopped, and her animated character’s body exploded into a burst of red paint that covered the sky. Many of the surrounding spectators ended up having their faces covered in the red paint.

“Ahhh!”

“Run!”

Chaos fell over the pedestrian street. Almost everyone that did not know about Transdimensional Review’s existence scattered in a panic.

After eliminating Little Peach, Chen Yu gathered his team members and started a pre-war meeting. “In Conquest mode, victory goes to the side that covered the most area in paint, so our priority should still be spraying paint at the ground. Killing people is secondary. What weapons do you guys have?”

Sony’s representative: “I have a submachine gun.”

Disney’s representative: “I have an Italian Artillery.”

Turing Award’s representative: “I have a sniper rifle.”

Bank’s representative: “I have a paint roller.”

Hearing this, Chen Yu turned to look at the bank representative’s larger paint roller. After pondering for a moment, he held his forehead and said, “That means you can’t do anything aside from painting the ground. Push the roller while you’re moving! First, we’ll cover the area around us in paint. Afterward, we’ll cover the other side’s area.”

“Okay.”

The bank representative nodded. He then set his paint roller on the ground and worked his animated legs.

“M-Mr. King, look at this,” Turing’s representative said as he handed a hand grenade to Chen Yu.

“A grenade? Where did you get it?”

“I think I received it after killing the female assistant.”

“You get grenades for killing people?” Chen Yu’s eyes glow as an idea appeared in his mind. After accepting the grenade, he pulled the pin and tossed it forward.

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud boom, blue paint burst out of the grenade and covered a 20-meter radius.

“What’s the point of painting, then?” Raising his two pistols, Chen yu charged forward while yelling, “Kill them!”

In response, Disney’s representative pushed his Italian Artillery forward. He then stretched out his thumb and pretended to take aim before firing the cannon!

Boom!

A large bundle of paint shot into the air. And as the ball paint landed on the ground, it splattered and covered a large area.

Meanwhile, the Turing Award’s representative retreated by 10 steps. He then raised his sniper rifle, took aim, and pulled the trigger.

Whoosh—

A line of blue paint shot across the battlefield and instantly pierced through the chest of a young man. Similar to Little Peach, the young man’s body transformed into red paint and exploded.

“Spread out! Everyone spread out!”

The bullet comment group had lost two members as soon as the battle began. Only the young soldier was able to adapt to the situation and take command of the group. While retaliating with the assault rifle in his hands, he also commanded the surviving members to split up.

“Oh my god!” A foreign tourist, who had sought shelter inside a coffee shop, gaped in shock as he looked at the battlefield that had paint flying all around. “Am I dreaming?!”

As soon as this tourist said so, LiYi, a foreign player belonging to the bullet comment group, dashed into the coffee shop. And amidst the terrified screams of the people inside the building, LiYi held up an RPG and fired a paint rocket.

Boom!

The whole coffee shop got covered in paint…

After another 10 seconds went by, Little Peach finally revived amidst her allies’ paint.

After learning her lesson, she cleverly bypassed the enemy team’s main fighting force and arrived behind the Turing Award’s representative. She then kicked the latter into the air and fired her gun at him.

Takka, takka, takka…

Before Turing’s representative could even ask for help, his body got pierced and exploded.

Immediately afterward, Little Peach also exploded.

The reason for this was because he had stepped on blue paint for too long and depleted her HP bar…

Boom!

Takka! Takka! Takka!

Boom! Boom!

Boom…

For a time, gunfire, explosions, and screams filled the pedestrian street.

The whole pedestrian street had also suddenly transformed into a world of red and blue…
