Luo Guangtong scanned the people below, "Because the mission failed, it means that everyone will lose ten years of their lifespan!"
After imposing psychological constraints on everyone, Luo Guangtong paused for a moment, then raised his hand and shouted.
"Let's go for our victory!"
"come on!"
"come on!"
……
"I apologize, Commander. I heard there was something important and thought I should help if I could. I am willing to be punished, but I hope to resolve this urgent matter first."
As soon as Luo Batian entered the room, he spoke before the commander could even open his mouth.
Commander Yang, who had been somewhat displeased, looked much better and said, "Fine, you were indeed helpful in this matter. This is the last time."
Luo Batian nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Commander, I am deeply grateful."
Then he sneered inwardly. Perhaps Commander Yang could see through his little tricks, but so what? Anyway, he wasn't a native of the story. Even if Commander Yang had a problem with him, once he left this world, they would have nothing to do with each other anymore.
He gave Commander Yang face; as a superior, he couldn't make things too difficult for his subordinate at this time, as long as he didn't expose the truth...
"Huh? Brother, you've got some skills! This old man's been completely fooled by you." Li Wei glanced at Luo Batian in surprise.
"..."
Make sense.
Luo Batian almost punched Li Wei.
Can't you even consider the occasion?
Can't you be a little more sensible?
Are we teammates?
He really couldn't help but grab Li Wei by the collar, lift him up, and ask, "Are you crazy?!"
Fortunately, Commander Yang was not stupid to have gotten this position, and he cleverly changed the subject, saying, "Director Li is as unique as ever."
"That's right, after all, I'm a seventeen-year-old captain, hmph." Li Wei said with a smug look on his face, "I'm definitely different from those trashy young men, even Commander, you can't compare to me at this age!"
Commander Yang's expression stiffened for a moment...
If Li Wei weren't a very important researcher, he would have really wanted to find an opportunity to drag him out and drown him in a pig cage a hundred times!
“Actually, Sergeant Luo is also a very outstanding young man,” Commander Yang said, fearing that Luo Batian might be dissatisfied.
Li Wei let out a sound of surprise, then turned to Luo Batian and said:
"That's awesome!"
"..."
This was clearly meant to be a compliment, but Luo Batian just couldn't shake the feeling of displeasure...
You big idiot, I'll give you a good whack!
To avoid Li Wei rambling on, Commander Yang decided to get straight to the point.
Just as Luo Guangtong guessed, Commander Yang, who is also the highest commander of GHQ in District 11, sought out Li Wei because of the theft of the Void Genome.
"That's why I asked Director Li..."
Commander Yang was trying to get information out of Li Wei, asking him what exactly was stolen. After all, in the original work, when Commander Yang questioned Haruka Ouma, the mother of Shu Ouma, and Shuichiro Keido, he was refused on the grounds that the information was highly classified.
However, before he could finish speaking, Li Wei suddenly realized something and said, "So that's how it is. Does that mean I should abandon my studies and take up martial arts to save the world?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Wei swiftly ripped off his research suit and grabbed Luo Batian's tactical backpack.
"Ah, Director Li, wait a minute..."
"Don't worry, I don't need to find a coach."
???
No way, what the hell are you doing, a researcher who can't even catch a chicken, getting involved in this mess? You'll just get shot to death if you're not careful!
Your death would be a huge loss for GHQ.
and--
If you want to die, I'd rather let you get rid of this pent-up hatred...
"Sergeant Luo!"
Luo Batian immediately understood, "Sir, I'll go find Director Li right now!"
……
"Damn it, how did that bastard run so fast!"
Luo Batian cursed fiercely, his face contorted with rage.
Using a walkie-talkie, Luo Batian quickly reunited with Luo Guangtong, his younger brother.
By this time, the flames of war had already spread outside.
A series of ultimate roars and the clattering of machine guns rang out.
"What? He took your tactical backpack? The one with over three thousand points worth of supplies inside!?"
Luo Guangtong asked eagerly.
Three thousand points is no small amount. In the beginner world, it would take a lot of effort to get that many points.
After all, even a regular freshman in Class A wouldn't have that many points!
Even though this is one of the few sessions, not many new students can accumulate more than 3,000 points in the beginner world.
Luo Batian's face was also very gloomy.
He had to grit his teeth and forgo even physical enhancement to exchange for those 3,000+ points to acquire the supplies.
After all, in the early stages, consumable equipment is more effective than strengthening oneself, in order to gamble on gaining more points in the earlier worlds.
However, something so important was taken away.
It wasn't that Luo Batian wasn't on guard, but rather that he simply couldn't believe Li Wei's thinking was so unconventional, leading him to do things that normal people wouldn't do.
"Could it be... that the situation is really as we predicted?" Luo Batian asked heavily.
Luo Guangtong nodded, his expression solemn: "Yes, this world is indeed a battle dungeon."
"A PvP dungeon that's usually only for second-year university students?" Luo Batian asked in a low voice, "Our very first official dungeon is in PvP mode!?"
"Do you know the reason?"
Luo Guangtong shook his head and said, "Insufficient intelligence."
The two talked as they traveled.
Soon, the two drove a military vehicle to the scene of the fierce battle.
"That's not good."
Luo Guangtong bit his thumbnail and said with a tense face.
"That shouldn't be the case. The enemy's firepower is absolutely overwhelming. The opponents in the competitive mode shouldn't be this mismatched!"
Luo Guangtong really couldn't understand it. If it were one of those idiotic game systems, random matchmaking would be one thing.
The Reincarnation Academy system should be very fair. In dungeons like the PvP mode, players should be assigned based on their overall performance when entering; otherwise, it wouldn't be a PvP battle, but a complete stomp.
Which part of the process went wrong?!
Before Luo Guangtong could figure it out, it seemed that Yuzuriha Inori was about to escape with the Void Genome under multiple layers of cover.
He was anxious.
The ten-plus years of lifespan are not the important thing; the key is that the mission failed at the very beginning, which is a major blow to their faction!
Now is the perfect time for Luo Batian to establish his prestige and solidify his leadership position.
For a moment, Luo Guangtong was at a loss.
"Damn it... If only that bastard hadn't taken my tactical backpack right now..."
Thanks to their foresight, many of the supplies inside could turn the tide in certain situations and play a significant role, such as now.
Just when they were about to give up—
Li Wei climbed up the bridge next to Yuzuriha Inori.
He seemed to see a glimmer of hope descending.
As for why Li Wei was there, he didn't have time to think about it. He hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie and called out, "Brother Li, there should be a grenade in your backpack. Take it out quickly and stop them!"
Li Wei turned around and exclaimed, "Dancing Grass?! This seems to be a big problem!"
Then, upon hearing Luo Guangtong's words, he indeed pulled out a large pineapple from inside.
"Look at me!"
As he spoke, Li Wei tossed it towards Yuzuriha Inori's direction.
Luo Guangtong breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. This grenade would at least delay the enemy for a while, allowing him to explain the situation to Li Wei and retrieve his tactical backpack.
This is a matter of life and death, and even if Li Wei is somewhat extraordinary, he couldn't possibly not take it to heart.
Then, just as he was about to speak—
The grenade grazed past Yuzuriha Inori, flying to the side of their pursuing Ultimate Roar, emitting a dazzling flash—
Boom!
Yuzuriha Inori, escape progress bar increased to 50%.
Luo Guangtong and Luo Batian stood frozen in place...
despair.
Li Wei sneered, "Even an old man like me hasn't attained enlightenment and ascended to immortality yet. You think you can kill your sister to prove your Dao?!"
PS-1: I was shocked when I checked this morning, damn it, the number of recommendation votes... has increased several times compared to yesterday! Wow, I'm so scared, I never expected this! (orz)
P.S.: Writing this was exhausting, damn it! The upcoming plot is different from the previous world, and there might be more interaction with the characters from the original story. So, I hope... you won't give me suggestions like what you want to see this character do or what you don't want to see happen. Seriously, my thoughts aren't quite organized yet, and that can easily disrupt my train of thought.
PS2: I might not be able to update this book daily anymore, at least not given my current writer's block. I don't want to miss an update this week, since... I asked some experienced readers this week, and they said the recommendations I'm getting are pretty good, probably one of the best early-stage recommendations for new authors and new books. Missing an update would be somewhat detrimental to the book, but after careful consideration... I still want to try my best to maintain the quality.
PS3: Thanks to Emperor, Demon Dragon, Yiwu, Supreme One, My Home Has a Wild Hui, Dorky, wo2333, Blue and White Funny Existence Breeding, ??????`, and Slaughter Spear...
Especially Qiu Xi's donation! We've warmed the bed, come on over! ╰(￣▽￣)╭
PS4: There probably won't be any Photoshop edits for thank-you notes anymore. Damn, finding these records is so hard...orz. Please forgive my laziness. And thank you everyone for your monthly tickets and recommendation votes... well, those feel a bit weird.
PS5: The author hopes you won't rush me too much... This book has gained many more followers, and seeing so many people cheering me on makes me want to repay your expectations as much as possible. I want to write well, but if you keep pushing me, I might get flustered, and then...orz
PS6: Update times will be irregular from now on, and will likely be mostly late at night. For those of you who used to wait for updates around 9 or 10 PM, I suggest you go to bed earlier and check for updates the next day.
PS7: While browsing book reviews and rants as usual, I couldn't help but laugh for a long time when I saw that friend's comment about finger guns: "I've practiced this too, but I'm not good enough to shoot." ...You're so cute!
I don't know if you mind if I say it like this in Photoshop. If you don't like it, click here and I'll delete it.
PS8: As for tipping, if your wallet allows, just a little something is fine. I'm not really that demanding. Giving some free items is perfectly okay, especially seeing lots and lots of votes makes me happy. Especially for those students who don't have money or cards and rely on daily check-ins, I really don't recommend tipping. Even 100 coins is enough for you to subscribe to more than ten chapters. I, the author, have only accumulated a few hundred coins by checking in every day; it feels so hard!
You guys keep them, huh? If we accidentally get forced to put them on the shelves, you won't abandon us just because of circumstances, right? [rolls around]
The more comments, posts, and votes you give, the better you can support us. Honestly, we think that for every author, if they had to choose between seeing a lot of active users every day and receiving a lot of donations, they would almost always choose the former.
PS9: Finally, goodnight, night owls~
Chapter Sixty-Two: Only I would do such a good deed.
"Phase 1 mission failed."
"Deduct 1,000 points from your account."
"Due to insufficient current points, ten years of lifespan will be deducted to offset the shortfall."
-
"Current remaining lifespan is: +∞? -10 years."
