Chapter 233
239. Chapter 239: Life is Like a Play
Friendly fire?
Not really, not at all.
Regret hitting too hard?
Not at all.
Want to avenge Jimny after reading the diary?
The friendship wasn't that deep.
The reason Lin Ke's mood was subtle was purely because of the injury to his own kind.
Don't look at how overpowered Lin Ke is among Level 1 Wizards now, killing everyone instantly.
However, there are so many big shots looking down from above; if you are not careful and offend someone, you are done for.
He also doesn't know how he will die, or where he will die.
Trembling, like facing an abyss, like walking on thin ice.
"Keep it well, give it to Christina next time."
Suppressing his scattered thoughts, Lin Ke handed the diary back to Molly and said lightly.
"Hmm."
Molly agreed, took the diary, and continued to read.
As the person in charge of logistics, she only needed to keep the spoils well.
As the deputy captain, she had to find a way to find some intelligence from the spoils.
Even if the five wizard organizations agreed not to tell the participating teams the specific competition rules too far in advance, or the specific competition rules were only finalized just before the start, the participating teams could receive some news.
For example, "Do Whatever Is Free" knew three weeks in advance that there were individual competitions and team competitions.
Molly wanted to see if she could find some valuable information from the collected text items or cracked smart brains.
Except for encountering a team from the Flame and Metal Trading Company at the beginning, during the next nearly an hour of marching, "Do Whatever Is Free," which had returned to a silent marching state, did not encounter other teams.
The reconnaissance group discovered the reconnaissance wizard artifacts of other teams at high altitude.
But just like "Do Whatever Is Free" kept continuing the shielding wizard artifact, the flying saucer of "Do Whatever Is Free" was almost flying close to the ground, and they couldn't find that team.
Facing many well-prepared teams, reconnaissance wizard artifacts, except for being able to provide surrounding terrain, couldn't exert the reconnaissance role they should have.
It can only be said that the combat experience of the Wizard World is really too rich.
The established education system, even if the wizard organizations are not consistent, the common points must include establishing reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance awareness and ability from the wizard apprentice stage.
The participating teams are all good hands among them.
Taught by the same "master," the moves can't be broken.
In this way, we can only count on that special equipment like a stopwatch.
An hour has passed.
The special equipment held by Lin Ke once again sent the position of "Do Whatever Is Free" to other surviving teams and also received the positions of other surviving teams.
"Do Whatever Is Free" finally found the second attack target.
Located about 30 miles away in the 3 o'clock direction of "Do Whatever Is Free," there was a team from Shadow City.
What is there to hesitate about, just kill them directly.
If you go late, you won't even catch a hot meal.
To get a higher ranking, you have to eliminate as many teams as possible.
Just like their slogan, roll over everyone!
This time, Lin Ke didn't take the lead, charge into the battle, gnaw the hardest bone himself, and let the team members eat meat.
Instead, he properly fulfilled the duties of the captain, exerted the role of the team members, and fought a real surprise attack or hard battle.
"Molly, take out the stuff."
After giving an order, Lin Ke shouted a simple slogan to the team members, "Roll over everyone!"
"Roll over everyone!"
The team members shouted out loud one by one.
The continuously rising morale exploded again.
One after another, they were already hungry and thirsty, wishing they could fight with the "enemy" now.
"Whooha!"
After shouting, feeling it wasn't enough, Buck roared again to boost his prestige.
Molly had already taken out the "stuff," a full ten two-wheeled "off-road motorcycles."
This is a surprise weapon specially ordered by Lin Ke.
Riding four-wheeled vehicles or aircraft, in terms of comfort and defense, there will indeed be guarantees.
But it is not flexible enough, and it cannot allow wizards to fully exert the convenience and diverse roles of wizardry on the ever-changing battlefield.
The two-wheeled "off-road motorcycle" does not have this limitation.
The "off-road motorcycle" equipped with a dedicated smart brain can drive autonomously, freeing the hands of the riding wizard, facilitating the use of wizard artifacts, and being able to concentrate mental power to cast wizardry.
Encountering emergencies, you can abandon the car at any time.
Or float, or land, depending on the situation.
"Do Whatever Is Free," including Lin Ke, all rode motorcycles.
The "engine" roared slightly, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, the tires of the ten motorcycles left ten long tire marks, galloping towards the position of the Shadow City team in the 3 o'clock direction.
This attack was still in a sagittal charge formation, except that Buck was leading.
Lin Ke sat in the rear, supporting at any time.
The moment they saw the team logo of the Riverside Academy, the Shadow City team was ready for battle.
Being able to be selected by their respective wizard organizations to participate in this competition, the Level 1 Wizards are all leaders among their peers.
Changes in team position can infer a lot of useful information.
For example, the direction of "Do Whatever Is Free" originally had two teams, one from the Riverside Academy and one from the Flame and Metal Trading Company.
Now only one team from the Riverside Academy remains,
And the team logo of the Flame and Metal Trading Company only has three left on the map.
The Flame and Metal Trading Company teams in other directions still remain.
Then, what else could happen besides the Riverside Academy team, which is very close to them, eliminating that Flame and Metal Trading Company team within an hour of the start?
Did the Flame and Metal Trading Company team commit suicide?
Ridiculous, absurd.
"Get ready, engage the enemy at any time."
The captain of the Shadow City team had a hoarse and harsh voice, like two rusty iron pieces grinding together.
It was Christina who forcibly reminded Lin Ke regardless of the risk of exposure before entering the competition world.
The nine team members were all hand-picked by Christina, and they listened to her very much.
Unlike the team that entered the ruin world during the exchange study, which was unruly.
The aptitude and strength of these nine people are not top-notch, but in a place like Shadow City where there are many distorted people, these team members can be considered a person, and their humanity is not so distorted.
Christina wanted to bring them out completely and bring them back completely.
It's just that this matter is not something she can do just by thinking about it.
Under this competition system, once two teams from different camps meet, a fierce conflict will inevitably break out.
Unless the strength is outstanding, casualties are inevitable.
Can only do everything to achieve this goal.
"I hope it's you who comes."
Christina set up a defensive shield composed of black snake-shaped black smoke, looked at the 9 o'clock direction, and sent a message through special means at the soul level.
"Boss, boss, the people in front have that snake girl, and the snake girl seems to be the captain."
Flandre's voice sounded in Lin Ke's heart, and at the same time, Lin Ke also received the message sent by Christina.
The two teams were about to make contact; in the blink of an eye, Lin Ke made a decision and ordered: "Flandre, you go tell the snake girl to let her use all her strength to defend, remember, must use all her strength to defend."
"Okay, boss." Flandre responded sweetly.
Previously, the reconnaissance group discovered the reconnaissance wizard artifacts of other teams.
Not only did the flying saucer fly at low altitude, looking for the traces of that team.
Flandre also turned into a spirit in the wind, searching everywhere, but unfortunately returned empty-handed.
This made Flandre quite frustrated, thinking that she hadn't been able to help the boss, and was a little unhappy.
Now that she can do things for the boss and play a role, she is very happy.
Lin Ke immediately issued an order using "Mind Communication": "About to engage the enemy, attack with all your strength, and turn after hitting."
The team members of "Do Whatever Is Free" received the order, did not respond aloud, but seriously prepared for the upcoming attack.
Either wizardry, or wizard artifacts, or wizardry wizard artifacts.
"Snake girl, snake girl, my boss is coming to hit you, he told you to be sure to do full defense, be sure to do full defense."
Christina listened to the silver bell-like voice ringing in her ears, felt slightly relieved in her heart, and immediately said hoarsely: "About to engage the enemy, full defense, full defense."
After giving the order, she took the lead and took out the second-hand 3rd ring defensive wizard artifact that was at the bottom of the box.
Seeing that the captain was so cautious, the team members followed suit.
In less than 3 seconds, colorful defensive shields appeared again.
Just after building a three-dimensional, overlapping defense system, ten two-wheeled off-road vehicles appeared in their field of vision.
"Whooha!"
The wizard on the leading vehicle let out a strange cry, suddenly floated into the air, and stretched his hands forward.
The sound of breaking through the air of swoosh, swoosh, swoosh immediately sounded.
Previously, Lynn mocked him for not using good wizardry and learning from the big boss to use fists; Buck endured it.
At that time, his brain was indeed twitching, and he didn't think so much.
Now, Buck still didn't use wizardry, but took out the upgraded version of "rpg."
Meeting is five shots, say hello.
Following closely behind the "rpg" was Buck's innate wizardry, more than ten ice cones shining with toxic ghost light, stabbing at the Shadow City team at a speed no slower than the "rpg."
Lin Ke raised his hand, pressed down, and dragged the over-excited Buck back to his "motorcycle."
Floating in the air, acting as a target?
It seems that after going out, I have to practice him well.
The attacks of other team members were only a beat slower than the over-excited Buck, and they all used their best attack wizardry and high-power wizard artifacts.
All kinds of attacks surged towards the colorful defensive shields.
The movement was huge, and the momentum was terrifying.
"Attack!"
Christina not only prepared for full defense but also made preparations for counterattack.
Since she wants to act in a play, she should act more realistically.
Prepared in advance, just being beaten passively, is not the style of Shadow City.
One shot is collective casting, the specialty of Shadow City wizards, which can condense a combined wizardry with the power of no less than thirty people—Shadow Snake Bite.
A magic snake shadow, composed entirely of shadow magic power, vivid and lifelike, bypassed the attack of "Do Whatever Is Free," drew an arc, and under Christina's control and guidance, fiercely attacked the car team of "Do Whatever Is Free" that was preparing to turn.
Sensing that the Shadow Snake Bite had reached the attack intensity of a top-level 2nd ring wizardry, Lin Ke hardened his heart and decided to let the team members resist this blow on their own.
"Defense!"
The order was passed into the ears of the nine team members at the same time as the Shadow Snake Bite attacked.
Everyone immediately followed the training and also collectively cast the defensive combined wizardry that Lin Ke spent a lot of money to find—Shield.
Yes, the name of this combined wizardry is "Shield."
Its core is a "universal adapter," which can connect, stack, and combine defensive wizardry of different systems to form a shield-shaped defensive wizardry with a larger defensive area and higher defensive strength.
This idea is the advanced complete version of the double water shield technique that Lin Ke once cast with "Double Casting."
The attacks of both sides were issued almost at the same time and arrived almost at the same time.
The touch of attack and defense happened at the same time.
Boom sound, streamers splashing.
Without Lin Ke's shot, "Do Whatever Is Free" barely tied with the Shadow City team.
Neither side took advantage.
Ten motorcycles completed the turn, stopped again, and faced the Shadow City team waiting in full battle array.
Both sides had time to brew the second wave of attacks.
"Lin Ke Grande."
Christina signaled her men not to rush to do it for the time being, took out a bottle of semi-finished "Reversal" potion and drank it, temporarily allowing her throat to recover a bit, then cast an amplification wizardry, and shouted loudly, "I know your strength, and I know even more that you didn't do it just now. If you did, I would probably be a corpse now. We surrender, you let us go, how about it?"
Lin Ke drove the motorcycle to the front of the crowd of "Do Whatever Is Free," looked indifferently at the Shadow City team, and said coldly: "Since I can kill you, why should I let you go? Give me a reason."
At the same time, Flandre received Lin Ke's order and whispered in Christina's ear: "The boss asked me to tell you that there might be monitoring, think of a reason that won't cause trouble for yourself."
Christina's head nodded imperceptibly, and then continued to shout loudly:
"The reason is very simple, you want ranking, we want to save our lives.
If life is gone, then everything is gone.
I know, we surrender, there may be trouble after going out.
But if we don't surrender, we will definitely die in your hands, and there won't even be a possibility of trouble coming to the door.
I believe that the high-level of Shadow City will not blame us.
It is really that your combat power is too exaggerated, not a crime of war."
Lin Ke smiled: "I can accept your reason, but what are you prepared to exchange for my generosity?"
Christina heard this, and a tangled look appeared in her snake pupils, and she didn't speak for a long time.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Christina is having a psychological struggle, not knowing whether she should take some key, valuable information or items to exchange for a chance to surrender.
"Captain, let's fight them."
"At most, it's just death."
"Yes, can't beat them, at most it's death."
"Captain, don't be embarrassed, there is nothing to be afraid of, death is all over, it's nothing."
The nine team members hand-picked by Christina spoke one after another.
Their humanity is not so distorted, but it is just not so distorted, and they are still somewhat stained with the nature of various snakes.
Indifferent, ruthless, not taking life seriously.
"Shut up!"
Christina's snake pupils stood up, stared fiercely at the eyes of the team members, and glared at them one by one, "Am I the captain, or are you the captain? Listen to me!"
Emphasized authority, suppressed different voices within the team, and Christina faced Lin Ke again.
Taking a deep breath, seemingly desperate, Christina said: "Once, a wizard from a family in your Academy found me and wanted to bribe me to deal with you in this competition. However, during the last exchange study, I saw your combat power with my own eyes, so I didn't dare to agree. Is this news enough to buy our lives?"
"Enough."
Lin Ke's face darkened, "You choose to surrender, I will agree."
"Good."
Christina took out the stopwatch-style equipment and chose to surrender to Lin Ke's team.
Lin Ke agreed immediately.
10 white beams of light descended from the sky, moving the 10 people of the Shadow City team out of bounds.
A play completed with tacit understanding based on six months of research and experiments came to an end.
I just don't know what the "audience" outside thinks after watching this play.
Whether they accept such a plot.
