"Feng Bujue, Level 50.
"Wang Tanzhi, Level 46.
"Like Rain, Level 47.
"Laughing Soul, Level 46.
"Flower on the Rock, Level 40.
"Please select the game mode that you wish to join.
[You have selected Killing Game (Indiscriminate Free-For-All). Please confirm.]
"Confirmed. The number of team members has been randomized: six."
"Tsk … In the end, I was matched with an outsider …" When the random number appeared before his eyes, Feng Bujue sighed helplessly. "Sigh … Oh well, since it's a free-for-all, so be it."
"Matching complete. Coordinating nerve connection. Generating scenario …"
"Downloading, please wait a moment."
At that point, the players lost control of their bodies, and they were teleported.
This time … to see the individual combat ability of each member of Underworld Frontline, Feng Bujue set the practice match as a free-for-all mode.
In such a complicated battle situation where everyone was fighting for themselves and restraining each other, it was easier to force everyone to unleash their maximum strength.
"Make your opponents tremble in fear, let them experience true terror!"
Soon, a low, thick, and accented male voice opened the game. His voice sounded familiar to Brother Jue, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
[Loading complete. You are currently playing the Killing Game.]
"A scenario introduction is provided in this mode, and there is a chance to trigger hidden side missions and special worldbuilding.
"Reward for winning the scenario: Puzzle Card x1.
"Playing the scenario introduction soon. The game will start after that."
Once the voice stopped, the cinematic started to play.
The scene that appeared in front of the players was a dark, stormy sky …
"Abyss appears in the Demon City, Mad Shadow leads his army.
"Wishing to survive the calamity of the common people, Unparalleled settles the flames of war."
"Hey, hey … Another poem … This is bad!" Feng Bujue really did not want to see this, but it had happened.
Then, the thunderclouds before his eyes started to swirl … and a bottomless whirlpool appeared in the clouds. Amid the flickering lightning and dark energy, a large castle slowly descended from the sky.
"Please … I don't care if you're the Demon City … Please don't be that thing …" Feng Bujue said. "But based on the appearance of this Japanese-style castle … I'm afraid it is!"
"Elites … come and challenge me."
The voice that had spoken the opening lines appeared once again, followed by … a pair of demonic eyes that appeared in the air.
It was a pair of different-colored eyes, one red and one green. They were like the eyes of a snake, and the pupils were straight lines.
"So, it is you …" Feng Bujue had noticed it earlier, but now he was certain that the owner of the voice was none other than Orochi, the main antagonist in the standalone game, Musou Orochi, developed by KOEI. He was a snake demon who was imprisoned by the heavenly realm. He escaped from the heavenly realm and came to the human world. He gathered the heroes from China's Three Kingdoms period and Japan's Warring States period into a dimension that he created, hoping to find someone who could rival him.
Several seconds later, a fast-paced music played with an electric guitar as the main note. The cinematic changed to focus on a group of military tents in the middle of a desert.
"Ah … Then, it will play the plot of the lords of the generals being defeated and imprisoned …" Feng Bujue said. Naturally, he had played the Unparalleled Orochi before, and the opening of each game was similar.
What happened next confirmed his conjecture. In the next minute, many generals from the Unparalleled Orochi series appeared in the cinematic, such as the three brothers of the Peach Garden, the three hooligans of the Cao family, the three fathers and sons of the Fierce Tigers, etc … Of course, there were also shameless characters like Lu Xiao Qiang and Zuo Da Xian.
Accompanied by the dynamic soundtrack, the demon army led by Orochi defeated them one by one like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves …
Then, the generals from the Warring States period also appeared. So, it was another minute of the same plot …
Seeing this, Feng Bujue thought that there was no more "then", but …
The next second, the camera panned to a group of people with different styles. At that moment, Feng Bujue could not believe his eyes.
"These people are …" Brother Jue was shocked because he saw a group of people with long, flowing hair and strange appearances. From their attire to their weapons, they were completely different from the people from before. "Even the people from the World of Lightning have been brought here?"
He was still in shock. After the characters in the Thunderbolt World experienced a minute of "CG killing", something even more ridiculous happened …
"There are more?" Feng Bujue was surprised to see another group of people with different styles appear.
This time, the ones who were tortured by Orochi's army … were a group of gorgeous 2D Japanese characters. When Brother Jue saw a red-haired man with a waning moon on his back, he already knew … the people from the King of Fighters world were also here.
Then, more and more characters appeared in the cinematic. They all came from different universes, and even some comedic characters appeared without any sense of disharmony …
Looking at these gods appearing one by one, Feng Bujue did not even have the desire to complain.
The ominous premonition had turned into a terrible reality …
The severity of this killing game was something that even Brother Jue could not estimate …
[The Demon King has arrived.]
As this cinematic that was close to ten minutes in length came to an end, the system narration came.
[Orochi, who was resurrected from the abyss of hell once again, has obtained unfathomable and terrifying power.]
[Whether it is the powerful people of the human world or the celestial world, it is difficult for them to compete with him …]
[In order to find opponents who can match him, the Demon King has expanded the alternate dimension that he controls to various dimensions, causing many worlds to collapse and suffering.]
[The powerful people from various dimensions, in order to protect their respective worlds, in order to escape this alternate dimension that is filled with endless slaughter, fought with all their might!]
[However … the Demon Army is ultimately too powerful. In terms of military strength, they have no chance.]
[Therefore, the Demon King … gladly gave them a chance to directly challenge him.]
[A martial arts tournament is held under the Demon City.]
The cinematic came to an abrupt end …
[The main quest has been triggered.]
[Win the martial arts tournament.]
The moment the players regained their mobility, they heard the notification of the main quest.
Regardless of the quest, Feng Bujue's first reaction after he could move was to observe his surroundings.
At this moment, he was standing on a rocky hill, and above him was the hazy sky with rolling thunderclouds.
Even though it was cloudy, the visibility was still acceptable.
Brother Bujue looked around, but there was no living thing in sight. He wondered if there was anything hidden behind the rocks …
"Hmm … There seems to be a problem with this quest …" After confirming his surroundings, he found a place nearby and squatted under the shadow of a rock. After hiding himself, he called out the game menu.
In the killing game, the players could see the ID, level, and survival status of their teammates and opponents through the team tab.
At this moment, the five people that Feng Bujue saw were all in the "survival" status. There was no need to mention the names and levels of his four teammates, and the sixth person who was matched in the queue was also someone he was familiar with … Seven Kills.
"Tsk … This guy is maxed out as well …" This was Feng Bujue's first reaction when he saw the team tab.
Even though it was a department under Nine Sciences, Blades was still a gaming studio in name. Their people had to at least act like professional players. Therefore, the current Seven Kills was naturally a maxed out player.
"This is not easy to deal with …" Feng Bujue mumbled. "If we're talking about a one-on-one, this fighting maniac is one of the few opponents that I least wish to face …" He thought to himself. "The time I defeated him in a one-on-one … it was obviously due to luck. And Xiao Tan … technically speaking, he won because of SEED … Now that he's level 50, he probably has already mastered Soul's Eye. In this kind of situation … if I were to face him head-on, I might be beaten to a pulp … "
It was not that Brother Bujue was trying to boost his opponent's morale, but … Feng Bujue was usually more cautious and pessimistic when he considered problems.
"And this quest … it doesn't feel right either …" Brother Jue immediately opened the quest tab and mumbled softly, "Normally, in this kind of Killing Game Royale, the main quest is to be the only surviving player in the scenario, right? How come this time it's to win the Martial Arts Tournament? "
"Ah!"
Just as he was thinking, suddenly, there was a scream coming from afar.
This scream made Feng Bujue's hair stand on end because he could tell that the voice belonged to Wang Tanzhi.
"Eh? The kid's teleportation point is so close to me? " Brother Jue instantly jumped up and turned toward the direction of the scream. "And … he just entered the scenario, and he already triggered a battle?"
He was not wrong. Xiao Tan's teleportation point was that close to him, and … he was unlucky enough to run into one of Lu Zhi's generals.
To put it simply … once Wang Tanzhi entered the scenario, he ran into a mini-boss monster.
"Hmm … What's going on?" Two seconds later, in Feng Bujue's sight, a running … or rather, escaping figure appeared. Behind the figure was a short, fat, gray-skinned humanoid monster with a long spear in his hand, and … a squad of Demonic Soldiers that numbered more than one hundred.
"Are you kidding me?" Xiao Tan shouted as he ran. "What have I done? Why are you chasing me? "
"You said 'that fatty' earlier, didn't you? I heard you! "The Demonic Soldier that was chasing behind him was clearly angered. He shouted as he ran, and his murderous aura was boiling.
