Chapter 22
(Preview Tips: Smash Varudo, from "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders" [Part 3], is a Chinese lip-syncing of the stand "The world" [世界] of the villain Dio Brando [DIO].
Because the ability of the stand "World" is to stop time, many meme players will use this phrase "smash Varudo" to make fun of "time pause" related elements.)
…
"Smash Varudo!"
As the voice appeared, a blue energy wave visible to the naked eye spread out.
When the energy wave passed through the piggy banks, the piggy banks' actions of rushing to their deaths were like pressing the pause button, and stopped on the spot.
Even some piggy banks that were accidentally pushed away by their own pigs stopped in mid-air when they encountered this energy wave, directly ignoring the laws of physics and refusing to fall.
Of course, even the small boss piggy bank hiding at the back was not spared and was frozen.
"Huff, huff."
Jeppard ran over from behind, panting, "Ms. Bronya, are you all right?"
"We're fine."
Bronya replied, then turned her head and glanced at the stopped piggy banks with confusion, "The piggy banks are not moving... Guard Officer Jeppard, that shock wave just now... was it released by you?"
"Yes."
Jeppard nodded, and a rare smile appeared on his usually serious face, "That's a new ability I acquired not long ago, it's on top."
He raised his left He pointed to the golden-blue bracelet on his wrist, "Miss Bronya, you know Bai Yu, right? It is this pause ability he gave me that allows me to consume a certain amount of [energy] to freeze the monsters within a radius of 50 meters."
"Won't the monsters recover suddenly?"
"They will become ineffective after 5 minutes or when they are attacked fiercely."
Jepard looked at the group of piggy banks and sighed, "So piggy banks can also be considered as world-breaking monsters..."
The skill description only defines world-breaking monsters, but I didn't expect it to be effective for piggy banks.
"5 minutes..."
His words reminded Bronya.
Bronya quickly looked at the task bar - they still had 3 minutes left to complete the task!
"Miss Bronya, I understand that you always lead troops into dangerous areas when you fight, but why did you go so deep into the Echo Corridor this time? That's the Eternal Winter Ridge..."
"Guard Officer Jeppard, time is running out. Let the lieutenant explain it to you. I'll go there before the piggy banks recover."
Bronya raised her hand and pointed to the rear of the piggy banks.
After saying that, she set off immediately without waiting for Jeppard's reply.
"Uh...Okay. So what's going on now?" Jeppard looked at the silver-maned lieutenant in the team.
"Captain Jeppard, this is what happened..."
The lieutenant began to narrate.
...
On the high wall, Bai Yu naturally saw Jeppard coming to reinforce.
What surprised him was that the scoreboard showed that no one in the team led by Bronya had died, and their HP was basically kept above 85.
But if you think about it carefully, you can understand that if the elite soldiers led by Bronya can't survive or lose blood seriously with the blessing of infinite stamina, infinite bullets and infinite durability, then her years as the leader of the Iron Guard will be in vain.
Well...
It's about time to settle the rewards for them.
"Swish!"
The wind suddenly rose.
The next second, Bai Yu disappeared on the high wall and came to the ground where he was sitting, replacing the clone he had created before.
Tap tap--
Footsteps came from the front.
Then, in the vision of lowering his head, a small black hand wearing patterned gloves appeared.
"Bai Yu? Are you okay? How do you feel?"
Bronya's voice also came over.
Bai Yu raised his head with great effort, covered his stomach with his left hand, and looked at that beautiful face.
"B, Miss Bronya, I may not be able to do it."
He spoke in a very weak tone, "I just got lost here and was pushed by that pig twice. I'm afraid--"
"Pfft..." Bronya couldn't help laughing. She quickly covered her mouth with her other hand, "Sorry, you continue, continue."
"I'm afraid I'm the first one to be pushed by a pig--"
"Pfft haha... eh." Bronya took a deep breath and returned to her normal state, "You continue, I promise not to interrupt you this time."
"I was pushed by a pig--"
"Pfft..."
"No, is it so funny that I was pushed by a pig?"
Bai Yu couldn't pretend anymore, he put his hands on his hips and squinted at Bronya, "How can you laugh so happily?""I didn't want to laugh, but when I thought about you being bullied by a pig, I couldn't help it... I'm so sorry."
Bronya scratched her head and reached out to Baiyu again, "Since you're fine, can this game be over?"
"Of course, I keep my word."
Baiyu reached out and held her hand. The moment Bronya pulled him up from the ground, the surrounding scene began to change.
After he stood up, he had returned to the original appearance of the Echo Corridor.
Silvermane Lieutenant, Silvermane Archer and Silvermane Guard, including Jeppard who had mistakenly entered this place with a purpose, were also teleported here.
"Huh? Why are we back?" Jeppard was a little confused at first, but after seeing Baiyu and Bronya, his doubts disappeared instantly.
It turned out that Baiyu did it, so it's okay.
"Snap."
Bai Yu snapped his fingers and smiled at the Silver Mane Iron Guards, "Everyone, how was your experience in this game?"
The lieutenant looked at Bronya.
"Tell me about your feelings, it's okay, just follow your heart."
"Okay, Commander Bronya."
The lieutenant nodded.
During the exploration of the Echo Corridor, Bronya told them that Bai Yu was a [game] Destiny Walker, and emphasized that Bai Yu had the ability to change reality, which was specifically manifested by snapping his fingers.
The lost Bai Yu met in the corridor later confirmed that identity. (He disappeared after the conversation ended)
So, under the leadership of Bronya, they relied on the almost perverted buff bonus and basically swept away the rift monsters in the Echo Corridor within three hours.
Just by clearing the Rift Monsters, the Iron Guards will have a much lower defense difficulty in the next few days after the restricted area, and they can even take turns to take a vacation and go home.
Of course, the premise of the vacation is that they really killed the Rift Monsters, not as the game says, the monsters will refresh and revive.
So——
"Mr. Bai Yu, I dare to ask you a question. Will the Rift Monsters we killed be resurrected?"
"Resurrection? If it's the boss, I might give them a chance to revive, but if it's the monsters, there's no need." Bai Yu shook his head.
How bored must he be to install a resurrection mechanism for those monsters?
Besides...
Even if he doesn't revive, as long as the star core exists and the Rift still exists, the Rift Monsters will come back sooner or later.
There's no need for him to speed up this process.
"Huh."
The lieutenant was obviously relieved, "Thank you, Mr. Bai Yu."
"Thank you? No need to thank me, it was just a sudden thought, so what was your gaming experience?"
"Very good, I give this battle a five-star rating."
"Yeah. What about you?" Bai Yu looked at the other Iron Guards.
"Very good! We give this battle a five-star rating!" The Iron Guards followed the lieutenant's words and gave Bai Yu a reply.
"Not bad, you are all very good."
Bai Yu gave a thumbs up, "Next time I think of a new game, I will continue to find you guys to try it out."
"No problem, Mr. Bai Yu." Lieutenant Silver Mane patted his chest, "As long as we are here, we can participate in your new game at any time."
"Horror game is also okay?"
"Uh..." The lieutenant choked for a moment.
"Hahaha, just teasing you."
Bai Yu raised his hand, his palm facing Lieutenant Silver Mane.
The lieutenant understood, raised his hand and high-fived Bai Yu.
"Pah."
[You have become a potential game customer of [Star Entertainment]]
[You have obtained game coins: 1000]
[Conditions met, your game coin mall has been opened]
Almost at the same time, a light screen popped up in front of several iron guards and broadcast several messages.
"The rewards have been sent to your accounts. You can choose what you want to exchange in the mall. If there are any new games in the future, we will send you a message."
"Thank you, Mr. Bai Yu."
"It's just a game, just follow your heart."
Bai Yu turned around and looked at Bronya and Jeppard, "So, Bronya, how is your experience?"
"Did you just call my name wrong?"
"Did you? No. Bronya Bronya Bronya, look, the pronunciation is clear, the pronunciation is pure, and it is not wrong at all."
Bai Yu explained, then looked down...
...He doesn't have a watch.
"It's almost time for dinner, why don't we go have a meal first? How about chatting at the table?" Bai Yu looked at Jeppard and Bronya.
"Then let's go back to the administrative district now, and I'll take care of the rest.. "
"Are you going to treat me to a meal? Thank you so much, Miss Bronya." Bai Yu put his hands together.
"You're welcome, you deserve it."
