Chapter 167 – Intrusion (Part 3)
Ren Suo was shocked and quickly typed: [What is source data?]
Irina: [Source data is the combined power of Irina and the corrupt twin. When fighting within the same server, between Irina and the corrupt twin, the one who lost would lose 1% of the source data. When one party loses all of our source data, she would disappear completely, and all of her power would be inherited by the other twin.]
[At the same time, in the battle between the twins, the side with more source data will be stronger and more powerful.]
Ren Suo blinked and tried to quit the game—
However, he was brought directly back to the main interface of the game console.
Was there no save file function in the game, or was the game progress automatically saved?
Ren Suo went back to the game and asked: [Is there any way to regain your lost source data?]
Based on what Irina mentioned she could only be killed 9 more times. After 9 deaths, she would completely disappear, but it was likely that there was no way to restart the game from a new save file.
That meant that Ren Suo ran the risk of not being able to complete the game successfully, which was the same, yet different from games with a completion deadline—both had a limit on the number of times he could fail in the game.
Irina nodded: [Yes, it is because my supreme and great lord has the capability to recover source data that Irina is willing to follow you, my lord.]
Hearing what Irina said, Ren Suo felt as if he had a wrong impression that he fell into a trap and was mocked… How was that possible, Irina was so cute, that couldn’t be!
A list of available purchases appeared on the screen, and Ren Suo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, apart from the initial ten lives, the player could continue to spend money to increase the remaining lives.
However, Ren Suo was taken aback by the prices: 1% data, 1 merit point.
While it did not seem like much, if 5% of the source data was lost each time she died, the total amount spent would be terrifying.
Moreover, the more Ren Suo lost, the more source data the corrupt twin would have, and her overall capabilities would be truly horrifying. At that juncture, the only thing Ren Suo could do was to continue spending merit points to decrease the power gap between Irina and the corrupt twin, in order to defeat her!
Even though Ren Suo had the player privilege [A Little Goes A Long Way], he might still be unable to match up with the rate at which his merit points would be consumed!
Ren Suo typed: [So how can we defeat the corrupt twin?]
Irina said: [Unlike Irina, the corrupt twin cannot reproduce the source data, so she can only attach herself onto pre-existing data in the server.]
[In the server just now, she noticed Irina’s arrival and so she restricted Irina’s movement permissions, forcing us to be attached to a data unit with very low combat power. Then, she used GM permissions to dispatch the other data unit to come and kill us.]
[On the other hand, in other servers, Irina can control the powerful units within the limits of the server rules, according to the wishes of my supreme and great lord. We can then return to this server to chase and kill the corrupt twin.]
How was such an operation possible?
Ren Suo thought for a while and realized that, in other words, he could control the characters in other games to intrude on the game of Jiayuan.com International in order to eliminate the corrupt twin?
In that case…
——————
Qiu Beifeng was standing in front of the entrance to the instance of the “Six Reincarnations: Endless Killing” with nothing to do. As he waited for his teammates to arrive, he began chatting with the other younger female apprentices in his clan.
Qiu Beifeng had been playing the game for two years. At first, he heard that it was easy to find a significant other in the game, but he became addicted later on because the game was truly good. It revolved around martial arts which held great significance in the nation and the gameplay was based on ‘qinggong’. Most of his teammates were girls and were younger than him. The social networking system was decent and the game characters were also beautiful, fun to play and pleasant to listen to, so he continued playing the game.
Indeed, Qiu Beifeng did come across a few younger girls whom he would “flirt” with. They asked him to travel to their city to “have fun together”, but Qiu Beifeng eventually refused all of them—he was afraid that it could turn out to be a pyramid scheme, a badger game, or he would end up meeting a much larger and stronger man older than himself.
To put it simply, it could be an enticing scam.
As such, Qiu Beifeng did not have much unpleasant feelings of discord with his team and had been playing on that particular server. Recently, his clan had been trying to make up 25 people to challenge the instance mission “Six Reincarnations”.
The mystery instance mission had actually already been available three months ago, and various tactics to complete the mission could easily be found online. For some reason, however, in the past half a month, none of the teams were able to complete the mystery instance mission. This was the case only in the particular server he was in—the mystery instance mission had long been completed by all the players in the other servers.
However, the more the mission could not be completed successfully, the more attractive it was. It was currently the sixth time Qiu Beifeng organized a group to attempt to complete the instance mission, and there were many things he had to organize and prepare. After all, it was not easy to organize a group of 25 people to come together, and it took three hours to complete the mission once.
Qiu Beifeng yawned and rubbed his eyes. His roommate who was walking by looked at him and said, “You are getting more and more exhausted recently, you should go to bed earlier.”
“I don’t think so, I have been going about as per usual,” said Qiu Beifeng as he scratched his head. He added, “This game does not need me to stay up too late every day anyway, I am just a casual player.”
Suddenly, Qiu Beifeng noticed a message which was sent to the whole server pop up at the top of the screen: [Kill unknown enemy (XXX.YYY.ZZZ) to get 100,000 Tongbao!]
[Kill unknown enemy (XXX.YYY.ZZZ) to get 100,000 Tongbao!]
The message persistently popped up on the screen and shocked Qiu Beifeng. He recalled that he had come across a similar message an hour ago, but the killing target was ‘Mountain Thief’, not an unknown enemy.
“What’s going on? Is there a special event? I’ve never heard of such a thing despite playing the game for so long…”
Qiu Beifeng was slightly puzzled. He opened the map and discovered that the coordinates listed in the message appeared not far from where he was.
And at that juncture, Qiu Beifeng could already hear a strange humming sound in his headphones!
Messages kept appearing in the notification column on the lower-left corner of the screen: [Oh my god! It’s at the entrance to the instance mission of Six Reincarnations!]
[What the hell is that!]
[Quickly come and check this out! Is that an extraordinary add-on?!]
Qiu Beifeng shifted his view in the game and saw a battlefield jeep approaching his position at high speed!
There were still many players riding their horses in front of the battlefield jeep. In theory, the horses could not be physically knocked over, but at that juncture, the battlefield jeep knocked all of the horses down, causing their data to be lost. The players were knocked off their horses and then smashed into corpses!
Herd after herd, many players were dashing towards the jeep in an attempt to kill it, due to the attractive reward stated on the notice board, or perhaps simply because they were curious.
Some of the knights who were standing by the side and not doing anything were also knocked and killed instantaneously, and the ‘knights’ who charged over from both sides were instead killed by continuous shots from a light machine gun controlled by a red-haired girl who stood up from inside the jeep.
Was it the Internal Power of Pure Yang?
Was it the Precious Armor of the Heavens?
Was it the Secret Skill of the Beggars’ Sect?
Was it the Fire Ring of the Ming Clan?
Have a taste of my fire weapon!
Qiu Beifeng looked on in dismay.
This was a Jiayuan.com game!
This was a martial arts game, a martial arts game, and a martial arts game! What on earth is going on, what exactly on earth!
What the hell, how could there be a jeep with a light machine gun driving around, shooting and killing in all directions?!
Nonetheless, at that juncture, all of the players who were near the location of the mystery instance suddenly brimmed with enthusiasm and formed a human barricade in an attempt to block the jeep from advancing!
[Blow this monster up! It has a light machine gun, the strongest secret weapon!]
[It is a super mounted jeep too!]
[Hmm, is there any petrol station in Jiayuan?]
However, all their efforts were in vain. As Qiu Beifeng watched the screen turn gray, the jeep had already killed the entire crowd, leaving corpses all over the place as it headed right into the mystery instance of the “Six Reincarnations”!
