Chapter 334: Shocking, the God of Pleasure Wants

"Hi, we meet again, everyone." The Faceless Fool Airui Laya waved to the crowd.

Although it was impossible to see the expression on her face because she was wearing a Mask, everyone present could feel that she was smiling.

Of course, it was merely a feeling; as for the reality, only that person wearing the Mask herself likely knew.

"B-Boss, hello! I wasn't slacking off!" Yikeshi'er became somewhat nervous upon seeing Airui Laya arrive, her furry ears standing straight up in fright.

"It's fine, little lion. I quite like the footage of the battle you two just had." Airui Laya picked up her Personal Terminal and gently waved it in front of everyone.

"Remember to post the recording to the official website later; this kind of high-quality duel is what the contestants should be watching."

"Hmm, it should be able to improve quite a few people's competitive level."

"O-okay." Yikeshi'er nodded hurriedly.

The footage recorded by the wristband only contains the perspective of the wristband's owner; at the same time, the recorded video only shows the combat content on the sandbox and the wristband owner's resource count.

If one wants to watch the overall situation, only the contestant themselves can look it up in the history records.

Of course, it is also possible to record the match history and post it to the official website, but in that case, one cannot see the contestant's specific operations and details.

Damn it, why does this God of Pleasure understand so much?

What exactly is her goal in creating this program? Yun Mu felt she should have grasped some clues, but for a moment, she was unable to string these clues together.

Or perhaps, she had actually already thought of a possibility, but there was no conclusive evidence yet.

"Miss Yun's competitive level is truly surprising to me. Would you like to have a match against me?" Airui Laya suddenly challenged Yun Mu.

Again?

Is there no end to this? Yun Mu raised an eyebrow, but she did not rush to refuse.

After all, every time she won a match, she could obtain 500 Research Points, so it could hardly be considered a losing deal.

Moreover, by playing a few more rounds, she could also gain a better understanding of this game.

The only thing she had some concerns about was—ahem, although saying this might be a bit shameless, the other party posting her match videos online would, to some extent, improve the game level of the contestants.

Her goal was the program Champion, and naturally, the fewer strong contestants, the better.

Besides, if she played too much, someone would eventually study her tactics; if she were targeted and countered, it wouldn't be so easy to play.

But after all, this was an invitation from that Faceless Fool Airui Laya, and refusing directly wouldn't be good.

"I have no objections," she said, thinking of this.

"Hee hee, sorry to trouble you~" Airui Laya chuckled softly and slowly raised her right arm wearing the wristband.

"Duel!"

"Duel," Yun Mu said, also raising her wristband.

The next second, the familiar sandbox and light screen appeared in front of the two.

【Map: Secret Valley】

【Size: Small】

【Resources: Normal】

【Currently recruitable units: Repairer (Basic), Executor (Basic), Transport Vehicle (Basic)】

This time, both the name and the terrain of the map were quite familiar.

Yun Mu saw that she spawned on the far left of the map, while Airui Laya was on her opposite side.

Between the two, there was only one valley covered in trees that could be passed through; other than that, there was no way to reach the other party's base by land.

Almost subconsciously, Yun Mu built a few Repairers and Executors, then had those Executors guard the front of the valley and used the Repairers to place two buildings.

【Barracks】 【Energy Plant】

Just as she began to build the 【Ore Refinery】, some sounds of discussion suddenly came from behind her.

"Look, someone is already dueling over there!"

"How are they so fast?"

It sounded like the first batch of people who had rushed over after watching the promotional video. Yun Mu didn't pay attention, instead quickly clicking to produce two Mechanical Dogs.

【Mechanical Dog: A mechanical body made in the likeness of a hound, with extremely fast running speed, capable of tearing apart mechanical creations of similar size.】 (Cost: 200)

The Mechanical Dog's running speed was faster than a Transport Vehicle, and it could deal a one-hit kill to small units.

However, Yun Mu mainly built it to scout for vision.

Because it ran faster than a Transport Vehicle, and the cost wasn't expensive either.

By the way, she intended to rush in this round as well, just with a different rhythm.

The Mechanical Dog scouted for vision and discovered that Airui Laya hadn't built any defensive fortifications.

Since that was the case, build a Jeep, a Hacker, and then place a Tank Factory.

Build a Flash Silver Tank directly, then control all unit types and attack straight up! Out of money? It doesn't matter, Sell will take care of it; sell the Command Center directly, get a 1500-credit refund, and you can build two more Flash Silver Tanks.

Can you block this combo of mine? You can't, okay?

Unless Airui Laya also sold her Command Center like she did, the other party wouldn't have any money to defend against her attack.

But then again, the Sell function was something she had researched at the Laboratory research base.

It was hard to say if the other party had this skill, and even if she wanted to sell, she probably couldn't.

At the same time, in order to make Airui Laya completely lose the possibility of a comeback, while attacking from the front, Yun Mu split her attention to control a Jeep to sneakily touch the side of the opponent's Tank Factory.

【Jeep: A small vehicle capable of transporting up to four units, equipped with a machine gun on the roof, capable of suppressing small mechanical bodies.】 (Cost: 300)

【Hacker: Capable of hacking into a building's control system, bringing its control authority into your hands.】 (Cost: 500)

The Hacker got off the Jeep directly and then burrowed into the interior of the Tank Factory.

The next moment, the control authority of the opponent's building factory was transferred to Yun Mu. And the Flash Silver Tank that Airui Laya had already built halfway directly had its progress inherited by Yun Mu.

Soon, a brand-new Flash Silver Tank drove out from Airui Laya's original Tank Factory and turned to attack Airui Laya's Command Center.

In this kind of overwhelmingly favorable situation, without any suspense, Airui Laya was soon defeated.

However, she looked very calm, and did not seem to feel particularly surprised by this.

"Ah, I lost. Truly impressive, Miss Yun," she said, clapping in praise.

"It was just average; it's just that you weren't playing seriously," Yun Mu said casually.

In that last duel, she felt that Airui Laya wasn't even trying to control things seriously.

Even if she had built units to defend like Yikeshi'er, the opponent wouldn't have lost so quickly.

Compared to the duel, Yun Mu felt she just wanted to see her own gaming skill level.

"You guessed wrong; I was playing very seriously just now."

Airui Laya looked at Yun Mu, her face obscured by a Mask, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

"That was already my true level just now."

"So I truly admire your strength, Miss Yun. If there is a chance, I hope you can teach me more."

Ah, this... "Next time for sure!" Yun Mu said without hesitation.

"What a pity." Airui Laya shook her head, her tone somewhat flippant: "Then, could I invite Miss Yun to come and take a look at our company?"

"We have some fun and interesting things here, and I would like to invite you to come and visit."

She paused, then added: "Of course, your companions can come along too."

Fun and interesting things? Yun Mu felt a tightening in her gut and hurriedly Retreat, saying: "This... this isn't good, right? After all, we are all outsiders..."

"Miss Yun is no outsider," Airui Laya interrupted her: "My God thinks quite highly of you."

"Miss Yun..." Brenna pulled on the corner of her clothes from the side, looking somewhat worried.

"It's fine," Yun Mu returned a reassuring look to her.

"Then let's go take a look," she said, looking at Airui Laya.

There certainly wasn't any danger; after all, since Airui Laya was a Legendary Transcendental, if she wanted to deal with her, she could have acted long ago, so why bother leading her elsewhere?

Moreover, she was, uh, a reserve follower of the God of Pleasure and Chaos; in short, there probably wouldn't be any issues.

It was a good opportunity to take a look at what exactly the God of Pleasure wanted to do, and whether it was the same as what she had guessed... "I want to go too!" the Young Girl of the Lion-man Race, Yikeshi'er, raised her hand at this moment.

"Honestly stay here and register the number of people signing up for the program; there is still a pile of people waiting over there." Airui Laya pointed with her hand toward the registration desk to the side, where a great many people were already queuing to Wait.

"Ugh, damn it, why must I be the one to do this?" Seeing this, the expression on the Young Girl's face immediately collapsed.

She looked extremely resentful.

"I'll leave this place to you~" Airui Laya waved her hand with a smile, turned around, and led Yun Mu and the others away.

The building of the Joy Company was not far from here, and it was quite conspicuous.

One could see that on the dark red building, there hung a smiling face that one couldn't tell was laughing or crying; presumably, that was the logo of the Joy Company.

Come to think of it.

"Why is your company's name 'Joy and Happiness Irresponsible Limited Company'?" Yun Mu asked a question she had been curious about for a long time.

Although she had a rough answer in her heart, if possible, she still wanted to hear how the other party would say it herself.

"Does that even need asking?" Airui Laya said without looking back: "Of course it's because doing so is very interesting!"

Sure enough, Yun Mu also felt she had asked a rather unnutritious question; in fact, even she herself didn't know why she would ask the other party when she already knew the answer.

If she had to say, it was just that she wanted to ask, so she asked.

Oh, my God, suddenly feeling that this is a bit 'pleasurable', what's going on?

The group walked into the Joy Company building under Airui Laya's lead; unexpectedly, the interior decoration of this company actually looked quite normal.

How should she put it? It felt not 'pleasurable' enough.

No, perhaps when everyone thinks the interior decoration of a company should be very abnormal, the fact that it is quite normal is also a kind of pleasure! *Cough cough*, Yun Mu shook her head vigorously.

She was likely sick to have such chaotic thoughts.

"What do you all think of the Old Days Front?" Airui Laya, who was walking in front, suddenly asked.

"I think it's very interesting," Yun Mu answered decisively; she was quite fond of RTS games, and furthermore, seeing such a thing in another world felt somewhat familiar.

"Hmm... I think this might be able to enhance a person's tactical thinking, or develop a child's intelligence." After Yun Mu expressed her thoughts, Brenna also evaluated it from her own perspective.

"What about Lita?" Yun Mu asked Lita, who had experienced the Old Days Front on the side.

"Ugh... I feel it's very interesting, but..." Lita looked somewhat conflicted: "But personally, I don't really like this kind of complex duel."

"I, I am more suited for Swordsmanship duels!" Noticing everyone's gaze, Lita's face turned red, and she explained somewhat flusteredly.

However, soon, she thought about the fact that she was no match for Yun Mu in Swordsmanship duels, and her whole person immediately wilted.

"Forget it, I'm just a good-for-nothing anyway, sob sob."

There was no help for it; Yun Mu could only spend some time comforting her.

"Hehehe, we had anticipated such questions too," Airui Laya said with a smile at this time: "On our side, there are multiple types of products currently under development."

"Urban Racing, Melee Combat, Ocean Exploration, Mechanical Manufacturing; as long as it's a theme we can think of, we are all working hard to develop it."

"The Old Days Front is just the one with the highest completion."

Ah? Racing, Combat, area exploration... how are you all so knowledgeable?

This God of Pleasure, does He not want to become the God of Games? (End of chapter)
