From the very beginning, Feng Bujue did not plan to steal the Sword Dance Herbarium.
This was because when he saw the main mission of this scenario, he had read a very important hidden message from it.
"Obtain the Sword Dance Herbarium before the other players and maintain ownership of it for one hour."
At first glance, this was a very simple and straightforward mission. Most people would remember two things after reading the mission details. One: Obtain the Sword Dance Herbarium; two: Keep the manual with them for one hour.
Then, they would start to think about their next move or move on to something else.
However, Feng Bujue's thought process was different. After he saw the mission, the word that popped up in his mind was "earlier".
From a subjective point of view, the hidden meaning behind these two words was likely to be overlooked. But from the perspective of an opponent and a bystander, there was a lot to be said about the meaning of these two words …
First, from the most basic setting, this newly introduced 'Team Battle' mode was, in essence, a 'Killing Game'. Since it was a scenario of this format, no matter what the side quests and hidden quests were, the 'main quests' that the system gave to the players would be the same.
In other words, all the teams would receive the mission description of 'obtain the Sword Dance Herbarium before the other players'.
So, here came the problem …
Even though it was a very simple thing, very few people realized one fact — there would only be one team that would be able to obtain the Sword Dance Herbarium first.
This was because only the first team to obtain the Sword Dance Herbarium would fit the concept of 'first'. When the members of the first team obtained the 'ownership' of the item, even if the other teams snatched the item away, they would be able to do so 'after' them.
And 'obtain the Sword Dance Herbarium before the other players' did not fit the mission description.
In other words …
Once the Sword Dance Herbarium fell into the hands of a team, then the team that obtained the Sword Dance Herbarium would have completed 'half' of the main mission. As for whether they could complete the 'other half' … that was another story. The key point was that … from this moment on, all the other teams that were hostile to this team had lost the possibility of achieving the condition of being "earlier than the other players".
At that time, the system would naturally notify those people that "the main mission has failed", and they would definitely realize that there was a hidden meaning in the description of this mission.
At this point, those people had lost the way to "win by completing the main mission". They were only left with another way to win — killing all their opponents.
If this was the main plot from the beginning, it would have been fine. There were many strategies to achieve this goal, but … in this scenario, there would be a team that owned the Sword Dance of the Grass. If they were left alone, they would win the 'main quest' in one hour, and the scenario would be over.
In this case, under the premise that everyone was enemies with each other, they still had to think of a way to eliminate the party that was holding the Sword Dance of Grass within an hour. Furthermore, eliminating the party might not be the end of it. No one could say for sure whether or not the Sword Dance of Grass would trigger a new main quest if the Sword Dance of Grass changed hands.
In any case, after this analysis, Feng Bujue soon understood. This main storyline that did not look that complicated was actually incredibly difficult to understand.
Even if he did not know that the Sword Dance Herbarium was owned by a super powerful boss like He Yang Shinji, he did not plan to do that main quest.
And the subsequent development confirmed his thought.
The players who thought 'the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind' after reading the quest, like Flashes of Sword and Not a Scaredy Cat who had been hiding in the dark, had undoubtedly underestimated the system's cunningness and scheming ability.
Including Tired Dream, who had previously discussed with Teacher Katsu to let him lie dormant to "pick up the scraps", and the Sengoku duo who foolishly stood by He Yang Shinji, and even Goddess Xu … Everyone took it for granted that this was a script with "snatching the sword manual" as the core.
But in reality, compared to that method of winning, the person who planned from the beginning to 'win by killing all their opponents' would have more advantage.
That person … was Feng Bujue.
The focus of his plan that day was to make use of the other players' obsession with the Sword Dance of the Grass and the deviation in their interpretation of the main quest. He used He Yang Shinji as bait to force the other players out.
As long as everyone was in the 'open', Feng Bujue had one hundred ways to kill his opponents.
Therefore, Brother Jue did not mind showing up early, and he did not care who would get the Sword Dance of the Grass first. He scattered and restrained the combat power of He Yang Shinji and the others. He had Ruo Yu fight with He Yang Shinji and pretended that he wanted to snatch the Sword Dance of the Grass. The basic purpose of these actions was to balance the different forces and make the situation more chaotic. This way, the players would come out one by one for different purposes.
Of course, in the process of this plan, there were some accidents. One of them was' He Yang Shinji. '
This boss was not simple. Whether it was his strength or his reaction to threats, he was above Feng Bujue's estimation. He was quite troublesome.
Fortunately, Brother Jue's miscalculation was the 'second'. It was the [Void Thunder Beast EX] that Toad Man and the others gave him.
Brother Jue originally thought that the heroes only gave him a set of tinfoil armor. It was just right to use this kind of high-tech gadget to bully the NPCs in the Wuxia world. At least in the initial confrontation, the NPCs would most likely be crippled by the machine guns, laser beams, and missiles that they had never seen before.
Who would have thought that the three bigwigs of the Yushao Alliance would be serious about this?
Perhaps they thought that since Poker Man would bring this thing to another universe, it would not harm their own territory no matter what happened. Therefore, the tinfoil man, who was responsible for the 'hard tech' part, 'enthusiastically' adjusted the size and physical combat power of the armor to be similar to the 'Anti-Hulk Armor' of some universe. Toad Man, who was responsible for the 'soft tech' part, added many 'experimental' dark tech weapons to the armor. They were things that he did not dare use in his own universe. Lastly, Professor Yongheng, who was responsible for the 'additional functions', probably because he was also an 'earthling', very 'considerately' gave his fellow countryman's armor various powerful 'magical technology' buffs.
Just like that, a set of humanoid armor with unlimited energy, physical and magical powers, and amazing combat power was born. It was just that its appearance was slightly strange.
After Void Thunder Beast EX appeared in the scenario, its first experimental subject was … Leng Yuqiu.
I won't go into detail about what happened in that small forest … In any case, Leng Yuqiu is no longer alive, and his corpse is nowhere to be found … Everything happened very quickly, and everyone can imagine the specific process on their own.
Now that Feng Bujue had fired the Positron Cannon, it was unstoppable.
Now, the advantage of the players could be seen.
Basically, when they heard Brother Jue say the words' fourth industrial revolution ', they instinctively felt the danger.
Oda Ai, Sasaki Akira, Kanemono, and Teacher Jun. These four who were closer to Brother Jue started to run before he finished saying the words' ultimate '.
At this moment, they had no intention of attacking each other. They had the same thought in their minds. 'No matter what Feng Bujue is going to do, I have a feeling that if I stand here and wait for him to finish, I might die …'
On the other hand, Ruo Yu, who stood further away, knew Brother Jue better than the others, so when she heard the words' it's decided to be you ', she had already turned to run.
As she ran, she also confirmed the location of Wang Qiong and the others. Seeing that they had already run out of sight, Ruo Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, you should have seen it …
The moment Brother Jue launched the attack, on the main street of Linlu Town, the only living person left was He Yang Shinji.
He did not know what the Positron Cannon was, so he did not run away immediately.
It was not until the energy furnace on Void Thunder Beast EX's chest glowed red that he realized something …
Boom!
With a loud boom, a red beam of light shot through the street. The terrifying power of the beam was something no one in this world had ever seen before. Everything that came into contact with the beam (mainly corpses and scattered weapons) was obliterated even if they were only grazed by the edge of the beam of light.
After the explosion, a trench-like mark was left in the middle of the street, and the temperature of the entire street rose by at least 20 degrees.
As for He Yang Shinji … he was nowhere to be found.
"Holy sh * t … Has the BOSS been blown to smithereens?" Teacher Chi could not help but mutter as he poked his head out to take a look.
Most people would have come to this conclusion after seeing this scene.
However …
"Tsk … He ran away …" Feng Bujue, who was inside his armor, had already begun to search for his enemy's whereabouts.
If He Yang Shinji did not dodge the attack, he would have died. If He Yang Shinji died, the Sword Dance of Grass would be buried with him. If the Sword Dance of Grass was gone, the Main Quest would have failed. If the Main Quest failed, the System would have notified him …
In conclusion, since the System did not notify him, He Yang Shinji must have dodged the Positron Cannon.
In an instant, a series of deductions formed in Brother Jue's mind, and they formed into a conclusion.
If geniuses were people who used their instincts to surpass their thinking, then Feng Bujue was someone who used his thinking to surpass his instincts.
His accurate and swift judgment allowed him to react faster than anyone else on the scene to what was about to happen next …
"Godly Ultimate Sword Style, Profound …" After one breath, He Yangxin held his sword high in the sky and flew down like thunder. "… Heaven's Calamity Cut!"
"Ha! You're asking for it! " Feng Bujue's lips curled into a smile. His eyes and hands moved around the control panel at an alarming speed as he came up with a response. "Fourth Industrial Revolution, Defensive Style, Bullet Screen!"
Even though what Brother Jue did … was to open the hatch on the shoulder of the mecha and release the bullet screen to sweep through the sky, he still stubbornly used the loudspeaker to shout out the name of a move that he had made up on the spot.
Even though his method was a bit of a bully, it was effective. Technological weapons were very effective against Wuxia characters. Even for a boss-level existence like He Yang Shinji, facing this attack head-on, there was an eighty percent chance that he would be finished.
"Mr. He Yang! I'll cover you! "To his surprise, at this moment, Sasaki Akira suddenly appeared from the side.
This was the only male member of the Warring States Squadron from the S2 era. Even though he had been in a sickly state and kept a low profile … in terms of raw power, even if he was matched up against Flashes of Sword, he would not be at a disadvantage.
Most importantly, Sasaki Akira's ability to analyze and grasp the situation of a battle had always been excellent. He was always able to deal the most effective damage when the enemy was at their most vulnerable. For example, right now, he was closing in on Void Thunder Beast EX at high speed while the bullet screen was still being released.
With this move, he caught Brother Jue's weakness.
Because "Bullet Screen" was an action that needed to be performed continuously, it usually had to wait until the enemy's attack ended before stopping. Otherwise, the effect would be reduced. Therefore, Brother Jue, who was in the middle of releasing the bullet screen at He Yang Shinji, could not respond to Sasaki Akira's attack at the same time.
"Sickness Sword, Bamboo Dragonfly!" Sasaki Akira saw the opportunity. He spread his arms, and his whole body spun like a bamboo dragonfly, attacking Void Thunder Beast EX.
Even though his move looked a bit childish and ridiculous, its power was no worse than the conventional moves of a fighter. Especially when dealing with a "large enemy", its lethality was amazing.
"It seems interesting. Let me see if I can cut this guy …" Two seconds later, Oda Ai also followed Sasaki Akira to attack.
Her ability to interpret the situation of a battle may not be as good as her teammates, but her reaction and movements were very fast. When she saw Sasaki Akira move, she immediately understood that this was a good opportunity, and she also attacked.
"Ah … they really know how to play …" Feng Bujue saw this change and was quite upset.
He also knew that Sengoku was also a character who could "dismantle a Gundam with their bare hands." Even if their instantaneous destructive ability was not as good as He Yang Shinji's, they could still attack together …
"It's time to show you the real operation …" In the next second, Brother Jue once again showed his extraordinary APM, which looked like he was randomly tapping on a keyboard. Under his control, Void Thunder Beast EX quickly rose into the air.
Relying on the powerful thrusters under its feet, the mech could take off vertically without changing its posture. The maximum flying speed it could reach was Mach 2. Even when it had just taken off, it only took about four seconds to accelerate from zero to Mach 1.
Of course, these were all theoretical values. When it came to practical use, there would be a lot of problems, such as the problem of energy output.
No matter what the mech did, it required "energy". Although [Void Thunder Beast EX]'s "Super Arc Energy Furnace" was an "infinite energy source" that combined the advantages of various technologies, the total output of this energy source within a certain period of time was limited.
Not long ago, Brother Jue used the positron cannon, which was an attack that consumed a lot of energy. After using such an attack, the peak output of the energy furnace would decrease for a period of time, which would affect the mech's other performance.
As a result, [Void Thunderous Beast EX]'s ascent was slightly slower this time …
And this "little bit" of time was enough for Sasaki Akira and Oda Ai to land their attacks.
Shing shing shing!
Soon, Sasaki Akira's high-speed slashes landed on the mech's knees, making the sound of a circular saw cutting through metal.
Oda Ai took advantage of the situation to follow suit. Although she was a few seconds slower than her teammates, by the time she rushed to the front of the mech, she was almost at the same level as Sasaki Akira.
"Iaido — Katana!" Oda Ai's attack was even fiercer. Her first attack was a horizontal slash that could split the sky and the earth. She wanted to cut Void Thunder Beast EX in half.
Crack!
Immediately afterward, a strange sound was heard. The lower half of [Void Thunder Beast EX]'s body really was severed from its upper body …
