"Blade Runner: Level 17
"Feng Bujue, Level 16
"Your team is joining a 2v2 Killing Game.
"Your team has joined the queue. Currently searching for other players or teams that are ready.
"Confirmed, generating scenario …"
"Downloading, please wait a moment."
This was the system notification from Feng Bujue's perspective. It was slightly different from when he was the team leader.
This time, he heard the voice in Mandarin. A hoarse male voice said, "Make your opponents tremble, let them experience true terror!"
[Loading complete. You are currently playing the Killing Game.]
"This mode provides a scenario introduction, and there is a chance to trigger hidden side missions and special worldbuilding.
"Reward for winning the scenario: 30% EXP.
"Playing the scenario introduction soon. The game will start immediately after that."
The introductory cinematic appeared. On the screen, a long-haired beauty in a white lab coat was walking down a dimly lit corridor.
"In the year 2000, inside the Crystal Lake lab, there was an immortal murderer — Jason. The government's scientific research team wanted to use him as an experiment subject to conduct research on the recovery of necrotic tissue. "
Following the narration, the female researcher walked into a door. The camera did not follow her into the room but stopped at the corridor.
"But Jason is not that easy to imprison. Any carelessness or carelessness will lead to irreversible consequences."
The cinematic skipped over most of the scenes in the original movie. It only used a few screams and the sudden darkness to skip over the process of Jason losing control and being frozen by the female researcher.
"In the year 2455, humanity entered the era of interstellar colonization. This place has become 'Old Earth', a place filled with storms, poisonous gas, and polluted oceans.
"A human research team returned to Old Earth to conduct archaeological research. They discovered Rowan and Jason's bodies and brought them back to the transport ship …"
The cinematic ended there. Feng Bujue could move now, and the system announcement rang in his ears.
"Main quest triggered.
"Kill all the members of the enemy team."
"So, it's this bad movie." Blade Runner was standing beside Feng Bujue. They were currently in the corridor shown in the introductory cinematic. For some reason, the lights in the corridor were still on. This meant that this place still had electricity.
"Something's not right …" Feng Bujue said. "Why are we in a laboratory instead of a spaceship?"
Blade Runner replied, "So what?"
"The tenth Black Friday basically takes place on a spaceship, and this place we are in … cough … cough …" Feng Bujue suddenly coughed twice. "It's not suitable for human survival."
After taking in a few breaths of the air, Flashes of Sword also felt slightly uncomfortable. He opened the game menu to check, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. However, his Life Points had dropped by one percent. It looked like the environment had some kind of indiscriminate effect.
"They discovered Rowan and Jason's bodies and brought them back to the transport ship …" Feng Bujue joked. "Then after they all left, we are acting out the plot of the movie in this abandoned underground laboratory that has been abandoned for hundreds of years."
"In other words … this script only borrows the setting of the movie, and it has nothing to do with Jason or the characters in the movie." Blade Runner added. "Haha … Isn't that perfect? It doesn't have too much to do with the plot. We only need to determine the winner in this enclosed environment."
"There are three things that I hope you know." Feng Bujue raised his right hand and extended his index finger. "First, according to the setting of the movie, forget the outside of the laboratory, even in the environment we are in now, people can die. The reason you and I are not dead is probably because we are 'players', or it is the system's intentional arrangement." He extended his second finger. "Second, I noticed this when I first watched this bad movie. Ignoring the bullsh * t script and the lack of director, the setting of this movie is quite sci-fi. For example, the repair equipment on the spaceship, the cyborgs, and so on … In short, this is a world with a very high level of technology. If we can find a way to contact the human civilization in this world, send out a distress signal, and escape from this laboratory, we can reap immeasurable benefits. It is far more profitable than killing the opponent to clear the game.
The two members of the opposing team will die in this laboratory sooner or later. Even if they can survive for a while with the Life Points supplement, it is only a matter of time. And we can use this precious time to obtain items, equipment, skills, and so on. We can even use the technology of this world to strengthen our own attributes. "
Feng Bujue extended his third finger. "Third …" He coughed twice. "Third, and this is the most important point. You'd better pay attention to it … I seriously suspect that Jason is not the only monster in this laboratory." As he said that, he pulled out the steel knife. "In a laboratory of this size, it is normal to have more than ten monsters of the same level as Jason. If I were the scriptwriter, to expand the plot, I would definitely start with this …" He smiled bitterly. "Even though 455 years have passed, if the system wants to add some fun to this 2v2, it would be the perfect choice to release some living monsters to mess things up."
After Blade Runner heard that, he gasped internally. "I think you're the real monster …" He asked with reverence, "Brother Feng, you've thought of so many things in the time it took to watch a cinematic?"
"That's all I can think of for now. If there's anything I need to add, I'll let you know," Feng Bujue replied.
"As expected of a Plot Explorer. Impressive, impressive!" Flashes of Sword's praise came from the bottom of his heart.
"By the way … let's take a look at their situation first," Feng Bujue said.
They opened the game menu. Based on their IGNs, they knew that they were from the same team. One was called Doomsday Assault, level nineteen, and the other was called Final Assault, also level nineteen. Other than their IGNs and levels, the only information that they could see was' Surviving '.
"Assault, huh?" Blade Runner frowned.
Feng Bujue caught something from his teammate's expression. "You know them?"
"Not really, but I've heard of similar IGNs." Blade Runner said. "They should be from Zombie Blade. The people from Zombie Blade usually have 'Assault' and 'King' behind their IGNs."
"Oh? If I remember correctly, that studio is currently ranked fifth on the combat ranking, "Feng Bujue said." Higher than Jiang Hu. "
"Humph … That's what annoys me the most." Blade Runner's tone was laced with helplessness. "Actually, these people are not that strong, but they have a way to get to the top."
"Oh? You mean … "With Feng Bujue's cleverness, he naturally understood what the man was trying to say, so he went with the flow.
"It's not appropriate for me to say that. You can choose to believe it or not." Blade Runner said. "Most of the studios in the industry have a consensus that the people from Zombie Blade are cheating."
"Cheating? You mean, all the players from the studio are … "
"They have many tricks up their sleeves. Anything that you can think of, they will do." Blade Runner said. "For example, they have developed some illegal external support devices, and in terms of software, they have some kind of cheat code. These things are not known to the outside world, and they are only rumors among normal players. But for us professional players, after a few exchanges with them, we will more or less notice something."
"Won't the game company do anything about it?" Feng Bujue asked.
"It's hard to do that, so it's not worth it." Blade Runner said. "The game company only wants to make money from the game. For many gray areas, as long as it doesn't affect their profit and cause a ruckus, they won't care." He shook his head and sighed. "Managing these things requires a lot of resources, manpower, time, technology … From how I see it, unless you show the game company the evidence, they won't care." He suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, there's one more thing. Like I said, the people from Zombie Blade have many tricks up their sleeves, and they might not only be cheating in the game. Sometimes, they will hire people to do some dirty things like posting fake news on the forum to discredit the players from other guilds or posting some negative reviews on the official websites of other studios that compete with them. In short, they are trying to ruin other people's business.
The one that left the deepest impression on me was in a game in the past. The game company held an open election for all the players to choose the strongest guild. In the end, Zombie Blade spent money to collect votes, and they managed to take down Regulation and Brahman. But no matter the result, the game company is still making money, so do you think they won't care? "
"I see … Looks like your resentment runs deep," Feng Bujue said.
Blade Runner waved his hand and said with a bitter smile, "You don't understand. Only those in our line of work will understand that feeling. Many times, even if you think you are stronger, you will still lose in the end. Losing like that is very embarrassing and chilling, but that is the reality. " He paused and raised his eyes to look at Feng Bujue. "I'm sorry, but you might think I'm being sarcastic when I say that …"
"No, I believe you," Feng Bujue said. "I also believe that Jiang Hu will not work with them."
"Of course." When Blade Runner said that, he used his prideful tone.
"And my philosophy is …" Feng Bujue said. "Either we work with them or we stand up for them." He paused. "So … we have to be serious and take these two down to show them what real power is."
