Chapter 586: NO.168: What

NO. 168: What's meant to come will come.

"Interesting, truly interesting, but alas it's just a game after all."

In the coffee shop's lounge, a clerk who looked middle-aged removed the device on his forehead and walked out of the room with a relaxed, casual step.

He headed straight for the outer counter and, as expected, saw the young shop manager writing something in a notebook.

"Zhan Tu, can you make that model into something that can attack the game framework code?" he asked the shop manager, full of interest.

But the shop manager frowned at the words: "Attack the game framework code? You've only played that game a few days and you're already restless?"

"Oh, what are you saying? Isn't it you who gave me that dangerous model?"

"Dangerous? Where's the danger?" Tongsei shop manager blinked, then realized what he meant, and said disdainfully, "An imitation black hole engine merely puts you at risk of a warning; I wouldn't dislike you so much as to get angry at the game you're playing."

"Couldn't that be a dangerous system that overloads the server?"

"How could it be? At most it would cause a few bugs on a small map of your game... crash the server? What did you do with it?" Tongsei shop manager grew wary.

"Uh... I didn't really do anything; I just thought wrong, so can you make that kind of model?"

"Why would I make something like that?"

"Is that something you can do?" Evolto stroked his chin, "I met an interesting fellow in the game; maybe we could get along well."

"So you're using me as a comparison," Zhan Tu waved his hand, indicating he should get to work, "Go, go, go, hurry to the back kitchen and help Longwo wash dishes."

"Not only do you have to make the model, you also need to understand the game's basic framework to do it; I'm too lazy to do that."

"Okay~ okay~"

Evolto heading to the back kitchen pulled out his phone, looking at the standing apology announcement on the gbn official website, a hint of a guilty culprit's eerie smile appearing on his face.

Under these circumstances, obviously I can't add friends.

Meanwhile, the real culprit is still in the temporary experience room of the model shop.

Aomo, having removed the infiltration device, first met a pair of light-blue eyes.

"Master, requesting status confirmation."

"I feel great now, just kidding, what happened??"

Noticing that although his face was expressionless, his ears twitched slightly, Aomo's arc that had just begun to show in cooperation with the joke instantly retracted, and he turned his head to glance at the chair not far away.

Bai Ren, sitting there, had also awakened, but instead of first removing the device on his forehead, he looked toward Aomo: "Did you defeat him?"

The total deletion countered the final evolution; the destructive vortex and the expanding black hole refused to yield, the energy released in that instant was excessively chaotic—not light but Hei'an, mixed with data streams of various text encodings, expanding in all directions like ribbons and fissures, directly obstructing the 'audience's' confirmation of the final result.

Immediately after, the screen went black and the pop-up in the center added to the disappointment:

【Error code, please try again later】

Although it's a classic server error number, for Narita Bai Ren it was somewhat unfamiliar, so she stood in the darkness for several seconds, trying several system commands to no avail before deciding to log out.

Then she saw Aomo already standing.

"Did you win or lose?"

The horse girl capable of winning the Triple Crown naturally has an almost instinctive craving for victory.

"I won, taking a few advantages within the game framework." Aomo replied.

"What do you mean?" Bai Ren asked, puzzled.

"He has already created a substantive black hole, a celestial body that can drag and crush all gravity and matter in the map; most weapons in gbn cannot cope with such a disaster, but he encountered a total deletion capable of striking the game framework."

Aomo simply explained: "The game framework can be equated to the universe's laws in reality, and my sword-cannon drained it."

"In a virtual world where physics has collapsed, even a black hole can be pierced by the Tyrant Dragon Sword."

"I see, so is it because of this power that the server crashes?"

"No, strictly speaking, it's the collision that causes the server crash; even if his character and machine are destroyed by me, the black hole he created continues to release an energy program the server can't process, which is then expanded by the data breach I knocked out..."

Aomo's expression was somewhat subtle, and he didn't continue.

He did not regard crashing the server as an honorable act of overturning the table, even though he had done it more than once.

Moreover, Narita Bai Ren isn't the type to discuss such things.

"Uh, oh, I see."

Just looking at this feedback now, I'm already struggling to keep up.

Compared to her sister, who is quite proficient in information technology, this Triple Crown champion tends to skip class and even pretend to understand when the teacher asks questions in class.

At that moment, he felt his hem tugged, turned his head, and saw Bo Pang handing over a card:

"Three minutes and six seconds ago, this card flew out of its case and has been trembling ever since."

"Oh..." Upon receiving Meifeilasi's card, Aomo also understood why Bo Pang first asked about his condition, but merely gazing at this card, which had always been easy to wield, his gaze inevitably became complex.

Fear, struggle, and even madness toward the unknown attraction.

Meifeilasi's battle song "Extraterrestrial Detachment" precisely describes the shift in human mentality when encountering extraterrestrial technological power.

In this, Meifeilasi's positioning is like Mephistopheles, a devil who tempts people.

The devil brings a person to the highest mountain, shows him all the world's nations and their splendors, then says, "If you bow down and worship me, I will grant you all of this."

Gazing and looking down, this is humanity's deepest, most ingrained desire and sin; holding power from on high, one cannot help but use it to do something.

The support mech armor named Ω and the model named Magician Zero both have power used for destruction and elimination.

He has always hoped to "return everything to zero, return to the beginning," and even his attitude toward what he can control is the same.

Relationships with people, and people's memories.

You will develop a desire called longing from seeing greater heights, and also, because some things are lighter, you will have the arrogance to discard them.

But in the end, all of this is still a person's own problem.

The mountain peak bears no sin; the card is merely a vessel responding to the heart's power.

Barbatos. Ω. x severed that struggle, and Mazinger Zero tore open the universe to grant life a miracle.

So——

What is the price?

The price is a shout:

"Aomo! Aomo! I heard people say the gbn server blew up again, is that true?" The model shop manager who rushed into the house in a hurry, their face showing a panic lacking any backbone.

This is a kind of keeping gbn directly connected to the supply store, yet watching helplessly as gbn grows increasingly disappointing, unaware that it need not be so; it merely had the misfortune of encountering Aomo.

Of course, that price also has another manifestation, in the form of a short message:

【gunbattlenexusonline Operations Committee:

Mr. Aomo Lindun, we regret to inform you that, in view of your multiple actions disrupting gbn world order, we have now locked your email and IP address, and you no longer possess the qualifications to log in and register.

Thank you for your years of support, goodbye】
