Chapter 398: Joining Forces Against the Big Demon King Sister

Placing the three Game Capsules into the Quiet Room, the room originally used for cultivation instantly turned into an entertainment room for playing games; fortunately, all three were the seated type, which saved more space than the reclining ones, and lined up in a row, they were exactly as wide as one wall.

No wiring required, it automatically connected to the home Spirit Net.

Chen Shu pressed the button to start, opened the capsule lid, and sniffed: "Such a strong smell of a new machine..."

"Brother-in-law, hurry and try it."

"Let's do it together, Qingqing, come."

"Shouldn't we ventilate it first?"

"Hurry, hurry."

"..."

Ning Qing had no choice but to open her Game Capsule.

The doors of the three Game Capsules gradually closed.

Chen Shu first operated the panel to connect to the network; after connecting, the Game Capsule automatically found the two neighboring capsules on the same network, and Chen Shu turned on the voice chat, pulled them into the same game room, and immediately entered the game platform.

For a Seven-Tier Cultivator, the Game Capsule did not have the slightest ability to pull him into the Spirit Realm; Chen Shu had to actively cooperate, so it was a bit troublesome.

Finally, the three arrived in a void.

All around was deep black; if not for the support beneath their feet, one would even feel as if they were situated in the pitch-black, dead silence of deep space.

Chen Shu looked at himself, then moved around a bit, feeling the sensation of this, the world's most powerful Game Capsule.

The realism was not bad, the senses were very vivid.

But the fit was a bit poor; he always felt that if he used a little force, he would be detached from the Spirit Realm.

And this had to take into account the natural resistance of a Seven-Tier cultivation base to illusions; if he went to an arcade to use an ordinary Game Capsule now, the experience would be terrible, so the fact that this Game Capsule could give him such a good experience already proved its excellence.

It is said that Low-level Practitioners would feel the same as in the real world when using this Game Capsule.

"What shall we play?"

Chen Shu turned his head to look at the two sisters.

"Don't know."

"You decide."

"Emmm..."

Chen Shu thought for a moment: "Shall we play 'Ultimate Ancient Cultivation'?"

The little girl's eyes brightened instantly.

Ning Qing glanced at her indifferently and also nodded.

So Chen Shu operated the panel and selected a combat game called "Ultimate Ancient Cultivation"; this game was built-in, and the Game Capsule came with it.

Boom—!

The screen changed.

Thunder tore through the pitch-black night sky, faintly illuminating a figure in Sword Flight, the speed shockingly fast; then the screen shifted backward, and several figures flying out of thin air were in hot pursuit behind the sword user, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, scarlet light trails streaked across the night sky, catching up to the sword user.

The sword user turned around and slashed down with their Sword.

"Ssh!"

The brilliant Sword Qi completely severed the night, the light tearing open the black curtain, revealing the game's control panel.

"Tsk..."

A Traditional Sword Cultivator is just cool.

Selection: Melee Mode, three players.

"Which map?"

"Whatever."

"Then I'll do whatever too."

Chen Shu casually clicked on Southwest Bamboo Sea.

A Long Sword slowly swept across, loading the progress, and then the consciousness of the three arrived above a bamboo sea.

Before their eyes, the hills rolled, covered everywhere with verdant bamboo, the ground full of withered yellow bamboo leaves; one could imagine the rustling sensation of stepping on them. As the wind blew, the bamboo of the whole world swayed, gathering into rolling waves and bringing the fragrance of bamboo leaves.

One could even see a few giant pandas.

"The scenery is quite beautiful."

Chen Shu admired it in detail, feeling a kind of traditional aesthetic, elegant and otherworldly; this map didn't exist when he played before, though the last time he played this game was four or five years ago, when he was attending the Talent Academy.

"Time to choose the system."

Chen Shu chose Ming Sect Martial Cultivator.

Xiaoxiao hesitated for a long time, then chose Spirit Sect Spirit Cultivator.

Ning Qing chose Traditional Sword Cultivator.

"What tier?"

"Fourth Stage, I guess."

"Good."

The maximum was Sixth Stage; Chen Shu chose Fourth Stage.

The three instantly put on different outfits and landed on the ground; the bamboo leaves indeed rustled.

A countdown appeared, beginning to count down.

Chen Shu and Xiaoxiao looked at each other, communicating secretly.

Ning Qing remained calm and composed.

"Dong!"

A bell toll, echoing endlessly.

Chen Shu immediately charged toward Ning Qing.

The little girl also locked her target onto her sister, and with a wave of her hand, she fired a streak of light.

Ning Qing pursed her lips, her expression indifferent, as if she had long anticipated this; she only tilted her body slightly, and the streak of light brushed past her, then she flew backward to put distance between herself and Chen Shu, who was pursuing her, and the Long Sword in her hand unsheathed with a ringing sound.

Sword Control Technique!

Sword Light appeared one by one in front of her.

There were only twenty in total.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

The Tracer Technique streaked through the air.

Ning Qing held her Sword like a female immortal, retreating and circling while effortlessly dodging the Tracer Techniques one by one; at the same time, she manipulated the Sword Light to bypass Chen Shu, deciding to finish off her rebellious younger sister first before educating her boyfriend.

The three of them were clearly divided into two camps.

This game simulated the combat styles of Cultivators of different systems, but it was only a superficial simulation without internal depth, and the realism was mediocre.

The Fourth Stage Ming Sect Martial Cultivator Chen Shu chose already possessed the Undefeated True Body; of course, he could not feel what the Undefeated True Body was like at all, it was just that in the damage calculation, he would become more resistant, and he also had one dash skill and two offensive skills, which he could use just by thinking about it in his mind. The skill effects were basically modeled after real Ming Sect Martial Cultivators, but to balance the characters, the power was different from reality.

The Spirit Cultivator in this game was the same.

Xiaoxiao had four skills: Tracer Technique, Confinement Technique, Defense Barrier, and Impact Technique, which she could use with a wave of her hand; there was no operating principle, and the caster could not feel the effect of Spirit Power or the generation of Spells.

When it came down to it, this was just a game.

The Traditional Sword Cultivator Ning Qing chose leaned toward agility and ranged attacks, with two main attack methods: Sword Qi and Sword Control Technique, both of which consumed Spirit Power.

One hundred points of Spirit Power, each Sword Light consumed five points, so a full Spirit bar could only summon twenty Sword Lights at once; Sword Light could be accumulated and would not be consumed if not used. It could either automatically launch attacks at the nearest opponent or be controlled by the player by focusing attention on a specific Sword Light; the method was not the same as a real Sword Cultivator, so even a real Sword Cultivator would find it difficult to control the operation of dozens of Sword Lights separately in this game.

But Ning Qing could.

Not only could she control twenty Sword Lights separately, but she could also dodge Xiaoxiao's bombardment.

It was just that effortless.

And facing the siege of the two, she was as calm as usual.

"Boom!"

The Tracer Technique hit the ground, triggering a thunderous explosion; countless withered bamboo leaves flew about, and one green bamboo after another fell in succession.

The little girl's Spirit Power was more than half depleted, while her sister was completely unscathed.

Looking closely, her brother-in-law was also being led around in circles, unable to touch even the corner of her sister's clothes.

Suddenly, her eyes narrowed—

More than twenty Sword Lights flew out from the bamboo forest and were already flying toward her.

The little girl hurriedly set up a Spiritual Barrier.

However, in this game, the Spiritual Barrier was not omnidirectional and could only defend against attacks from one direction.

Almost as soon as the barrier was set up, the bright Sword Light reflected in the little girl's eyes split into two groups, bypassing her from the left and right respectively to attack from behind.

"!"

The little girl dodged.

She couldn't dodge it!

Only a swishing sound was heard as more than twenty Sword Lights passed through her back; she didn't feel much pain, only seeing her health bar drop crazily, and by the time things calmed down, the health bar was left with only a sliver.

At this moment, the little girl looked up and saw that the three of them had just formed a straight line, with her sister standing in the middle, and she and her brother-in-law forming a pincer attack on her sister from front and back.

Her brother-in-law activated his dash skill.

The little girl's eyes focused.

This is the moment!

"Whoosh!"

She fired several Tracer Techniques in succession, emptying her Spirit Power to attract her sister's attention.

Coordinating with her brother-in-law, if they could catch her sister, they should be able to take her out in one combo; this would be a great victory for the Alliance of the Oppressed in resisting the Great Demon King Sister.

But she only saw her sister unhurriedly flash her figure, and the Tracer Techniques all flew toward her brother-in-law behind her; at the same time, a bright Sword Qi shot over, spinning to shatter the Spiritual Barrier in front of her, and by the time she reacted, her sister was already in front of her.

A stab of the Sword! Cleaning up the family!

【You have been defeated】

The little girl opened her eyes wide, looking at her brother-in-law, who was forced to face several Tracer Techniques head-on because his dash skill could not turn, and was beaten until he was covered in dust, then looking at her sister, who was still spotless and at full health, she couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

For the next period of time, it was a scene of the Sword Sect's Ning Qing playing with the Ming Sect's Chen Shu—

Even without Spirit Power, Ning Qing did not engage him in close-quarters combat, but continued to keep her distance; as her Spirit Power recovered a little, she would summon a Sword Light, grinding away the remaining health of the Ming Sect's Chen Shu bit by bit.

【Battle Ended】

"Swish!"

With the help of the system, Ning Qing performed a beautiful sword-sheathing motion, then stood with her Sword, aiming at the two translucent figures, her eyes somewhat mocking:

"Still coming?"

"Bring it on!"

Chen Shu laughed happily.

"Come!"

The little girl's eyes were firm; this time she would also choose a Sword Cultivator.

Another round.

Selection: Team mode, Chen Shu and Xiaoxiao in one group, Qingqing in a group alone; the setting that teammates could not attack each other gave them a strong sense of security.

Map: Northwest Devil City.

The bright moon was in the sky.

The vast desert was boundless with slight undulations; countless Yardangs were distributed on the land, some only a few meters high, some tens of meters high, some like pyramids, some like earth and stone castles, some like crouching exotic beasts, and some like warships, forming a naturally complex terrain.

Ning Qing chose the Night Person.

Xiaoxiao chose the Traditional Sword Cultivator.

Chen Shu thought for a long time, but still did not choose the Spirit Cultivator, because the Spirit Cultivator in this game was very different from himself at the same rank, and playing it felt awkward and stifling; after careful consideration, he chose the Wangting Sword Sect, preparing to engage in close-quarters combat with Qingqing.

The three of them quickly landed in the arena.

The moonlight was like frost and snow, yet it also cast shadows over the yardang, and wind brushed against the earth, weaving through the yardang and emitting a wailing, devil-like sound.

Taking advantage of the night and the complex terrain for cover, Ning Qing's figure quickly disappeared; Chen Shu hurriedly stood together with Xiaoxiao, searching for her figure, and no matter what movements he heard around him, he firmly refused to leave Xiaoxiao, even if Ning Qing appeared in front or stood on top of a yardang staring at him, trying to lure him into attacking, he would at most chase for a few dozen meters before turning back to protect Xiaoxiao.

But in the end, Ning Qing still seized an opportunity.

Through a moment of carelessness, when Chen Shu turned his head, Ning Qing had already closed in on Xiaoxiao, unleashed a combo of skills to reduce her to low health, and then directly snapped her neck.

Clean and efficient.

"..."

Chen Shu felt very helpless.

Fortunately, the Traditional Sword Cultivator still had a certain degree of melee capability, and Xiaoxiao had accumulated several dozen Sword Lights; although most missed under automatic attack, they still successfully depleted more than half of Ning Qing's health bar, and Chen Shu could only be glad that he had chosen the Wangting Sword Sect.

Both sides immediately fell into a tangled fight.

Full-health Chen Shu fought against low-health Ning Qing and won beautifully.

The alliance pulled back one game.

Inside the small courtyard.

Taozi had just bought a Fatty Sausage, held it in her mouth, and was walking back happily with small, quick steps, but she keenly sensed something was wrong—

There didn't seem to be anyone at home.

"Wu?"

Taozi looked left and right, pricked up her ears, then jumped onto the stone table, put down the Fatty Sausage, and only then began searching the whole house for people.
