Chapter 341: A Sudden Disturbance

~11 min read 2,111 words

"Magic Fountain?" Yun Mu asked, somewhat surprised. "Is it the Magic Fountain I know of?"

"That thing can even serve as a competition venue?"

"Of course," Xiliya, being a local of the Federation, spoke up at this moment. "The space inside the Magic Fountain is enormous; even if a competition is held, it would only occupy a small portion of the area."

"You haven't been there yet, right? Would you like me to take you for a tour?" She raised her hand and suggested.

"Hmm, the Magic Fountain?" Brenna pondered for a moment, a look of slight interest appearing on her face. "I'm a bit interested in going to see it."

"I'm a bit curious, too," Yun Mu said.

It is said that the Magic Energy for all regions of the Federation is provided by the Magic Fountain; if one day the Magic Fountain were to stop working, it is estimated that the entire Federation would fall into a period of Chaos without Magic Energy to use.

Uh, it shouldn't be that exaggerated.

After all, the Federation has quite a few facilities capable of storing Magic Energy; even if the Magic Fountain stopped, it should be able to hold out for a while.

Yun Mu had long wanted to take a look at this legendary, greatest Wonder of the Federation, but she hadn't had much of a chance before.

And then, by dragging it out, she had forgotten about it.

Now that Xiliya had brought it up again, it successfully hooked her interest back.

Since she had already transmigrated to another world, shouldn't she really go and see those famous scenic spots?

Otherwise, wouldn't she have transmigrated for nothing!?

"What about Big Sister and Miss Lita?" After receiving replies from Brenna and Yun Mu, Xiliya looked at the two of them and asked.

"I have no problem with it!" Lita nodded without hesitation.

Her thoughts were similar to Yun Mu's; it was rare to come to the Federation, so wouldn't it be a pity not to go and see the Magic Fountain?

"I, I have no problem either," Iliyasi replied.

Actually, her interest in the Magic Fountain wasn't high, but since everyone wanted to go, she felt it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look.

Besides, there was nothing else to do anyway.

"Alright, since everyone has decided, let's set off!" Xiliya said, looking quite spirited.

This young lady of the Fire Weaver Bird Family really has a... lively personality?

Back when she discovered the whereabouts of Yun Mu and the others in the mansion, Xiliya had jumped straight down from the second-floor balcony without notifying anyone.

Thinking about it now, one could have caught a glimpse of Xiliya's personality from that moment on.

"We should be able to see it from here..."

In a certain street in Feiluoka (the Federal Capital), Xiliya stood by a high railing, her gaze looking out into the distance of the city.

"See what?" Yun Mu asked curiously, holding a cup of hot milk tea in her hand as she heard her words.

"The Magic Fountain, of course," Xiliya continued to look into the distance, saying without turning her head: "The Magic Fountain is right in the center of Feiluoka."

"But because of the city's high-rise buildings, it's usually hard to see what it looks like."

"I thought I would be able to see it from here..."

"The height of the Magic Fountain..." Brenna hesitated at the side, wanting to say something but stopping.

Xiliya understood what she meant and explained to her: "Most of the Magic Fountain's structure is underground; the height exposed above ground is only eighty meters."

She paused, and as if thinking of something happy, she chuckled and said: "It is a fountain, after all."

"Fountain..." Yun Mu muttered the word: "So the competition is held inside the fountain?"

"You guessed it right~"

Xiliya jumped down from the steps with light movements: "Let's hurry!"

The group quickened their pace and soon arrived at the light rail station in the city.

After buying their tickets, they boarded the light rail train and headed all the way toward the Magic Fountain.

"The view from here is so unique!" Lita had almost her entire body pressed against the train window, her gaze looking down at the streets and buildings below.

"Watch your posture, Sister Lita!" Yun Mu covered her face, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Oh, oh."

Lita wasn't someone without a sense of shame; she had just been a bit excited a moment ago.

Noticing the gazes of the people in the carriage, she immediately sat down with a flushed face.

But soon, she forgot the embarrassment from just now and looked at the scenery outside the window with curiosity.

And after watching the scenery outside for a while, Yun Mu took out her Old Days Front bracelet and began to match.

By now, a portion of the contestants had already obtained their matching qualifications, and before long, Yun Mu was matched with her opponent.

Because it was a one-on-one duel, there were no unpredictable factors that would influence a multi-person melee.

She easily took care of her opponent in a flash and then continued to match with the next person.

Brenna, who was sitting opposite her, was thinking about something and looked a bit absent-minded.

Xiliya and Iliyasi were sitting together whispering to each other; seeing them frequently laughing out loud, it seemed they were chatting quite happily.

The train moved slowly like this, until... "Boom..."

A dull sound suddenly came from the light rail train; Yun Mu looked up at the window in surprise and discovered that for some reason, the train had stopped moving.

Besides that, even the buildings outside the window, those messy neon lights, and the advertisements on the television screens had all stopped operating.

What is going on? Yun Mu raised an eyebrow and stood up to look around.

"What's going on? Why did the train suddenly stop?"

"Tsk, I'm in a rush; why am I so unlucky..."

"The facilities outside have also stopped running; could it be that the power supply was interrupted?"

"We aren't going to be trapped here, are we?"

The environment inside the train was a bit noisy, and the passengers were discussing the situation at hand.

Because of the Federation's high level of automation, there were no drivers or service staff on the train.

After the power supply stopped, those automated facilities also ceased operation. "Look at this, Miss Yun," Brenna called out to her at this moment.

Brenna picked up her Personal Terminal and displayed the content on it for her to see.

【The city shield is under continuous attack by the Legion, and power supply is strained. Power supply in some areas may be temporarily suspended. Citizens in these areas, please rest assured; power supply will be restored soon.】

"This is the news that was just pushed." Brenna closed the video and put away her Personal Terminal.

"So, the Legion did this?"

Yun Mu could not help but recall the memory of being attacked by 【Heavenly Punishment】 that day.

Ugh. Not exactly a pleasant memory, haha.

Recalling it now, there is still an illusion that her whole body is in pain.

"Hmm?"

As soon as the words fell, Yun Mu felt a flash of light within her line of sight, just like... light reflected off a lens? She hesitated slightly for a moment, and a heart-palpitating sense of crisis suddenly erupted! "Hiss, get down!"

Yun Mu shouted subconsciously.

"Bang!!"

A high-speed rotating sniper bullet pierced the window of the light rail train and shot straight toward Yun Mu.

Because she discovered the opponent in advance, Yun Mu had a chance to dodge this strike.

But thinking that there were others behind her, Yun Mu gritted her teeth and did not choose to dodge.

"Hmph!"

A tearing pain came from her left shoulder; in just an instant, the shield of the Earth Dragon Scale Armor was shattered.

Fortunately, her defensive ability was not poor, and under the protection of multiple defensive pieces of equipment, she did not suffer much damage.

If an ordinary person had been hit by this shot, the entire body would probably have exploded.

"You want to run after shooting me?"

Locking her gaze on the target that fired, Yun Mu frowned, hooked her finger with force, and pulled the bullet out of her shoulder.

Consuming Qi Strength to make the wound heal rapidly, Yun Mu spread her arms and jumped straight out of the broken window of the light rail train!

At the same time, the Game Panel displayed the target that attacked her.

【You have encountered an enemy: 【Old Legion · High-Level Mechanical Body · Android lv75 (Master)】】 Can the mechanical bodies of the Old Legion even sneak into the city?

Why attack her?

Could it be because Heavenly Punishment failed to finish her off earlier, so they sent an android lurking in the city to take action? A Master-level mechanical body... and an android that could pass security checks.

Too dangerous.

The Celestial Badge released a deep blue radiance, wrapping around Yun Mu as she soared through the air.

After approaching the nearest high-rise building, Yun Mu used the Cat Gloves to adhere to the wall, then used the power of the Bird Demon Feather Boots to jump up.

Relying on this method, she shuttled rapidly between the high-rise buildings of Feiluoka, and before long, she saw the android mechanical body fleeing not far away.

"Don't think about escaping!!"

She accelerated her pursuit, and her movements became increasingly wild involuntarily.

【Your actions have triggered resonance with the Path 【Cat】, Path 【Cat】 points +5.】

Ignoring the prompts on the Game Panel, under the bewildered expressions of the surrounding passersby, Yun Mu chased fiercely behind the android.

This guy was worthy of being a Master-level mechanical body; its speed when running at full tilt was extremely fast, not inferior to Yun Mu in the slightest.

And while fleeing, the opponent could also use long-range weapons to Counterattack from time to time.

This was the reason why Yun Mu could not catch up to the opponent.

Every time she closed the distance, she was forced back by the opponent's weapon and had to retreat.

Use a long-range spell attack?

The distance wasn't enough! The range of the opponent's long-range weapon was truly too long, it wasn't that easy to get close, and besides, the distance was too far for her spells to hit easily; furthermore, she had to be mindful of the surrounding civilians. At the critical moment, she remembered the painting she had depicted two days ago.

【Atlas Painting (Orange)】

【Skill · Rolling Boulder】

【Summon a giant stone ball to fall from the sky; the marked enemy cannot dodge and must catch the stone ball with their back.】

【The stone ball will deal extra damage to the enemy equal to the user's Spell Strength + 35% of the target's current HP.】

The attack range of the Orange-quality painting was very long; besides that, the wind-up for the skill Rolling Boulder was very short, and it had the attribute of being a guaranteed hit! "You have nowhere to run!"

The phantom of the deity carrying the giant boulder behind her flashed by, and a giant round stone with rivers and mountains carved on its surface descended from the sky, smashing straight toward the fleeing android mechanical body ahead.

"Bang!!"

With no room to dodge, the giant round stone landed directly on the opponent's back, and even the flat street was smashed into a deep pit! Waving her hand to disperse the summoned boulder, Yun Mu looked down into the deep pit created by the boulder.

That mechanical android was probably done for.

The parts inside its body were violently crushed and broken, scattered all over the ground, and the sniper rifle it had used to attack her earlier was also smashed into two pieces.

To prevent the opponent from faking death and launching a surprise attack, Yun Mu first pressed the button on the Reversing Pocket Watch, then jumped into the pit and picked up the broken sniper rifle.

Check the attributes.

【Fatal Star III (Purple)】 (Damaged) 【Attack Power +40】

【Critical Hit +15%】

【Skill · Intelligent Aiming】

【This gun will calculate for itself how to hit the target; you only need to raise your hand.】

【Skill · Super Vision Sniper】

【Weapon range increased by 50%, and the further the bullet travels, the higher the damage; ignores damage reduction effects outside of effective range.】

【This is not a mass-produced weapon model; it comes from an accident, an accident concerning the birth of the Old Legion.】
