Lan Yuanyuan's already somewhat irritable mood suddenly reached its peak. She suddenly squeezed her phone so hard that it shattered. Glass and metal shards seeped into her hand, and blood trickled down.
"The Fusion Faction, the Fusion Faction again! For the sake of the plan, they're even willing to cooperate with the Fusion Faction's bastards... Where are they? Why hasn't any rescue team been dispatched yet!?"
She gritted her teeth, threw her crushed phone aside, and picked up the dial-up phone next to her to notify the teams in various regions.
Suddenly, a hand reached down to the bottom of the phone and cut off the only connected line.
This made Lancao, who was already holding back her anger, even more furious, and she cursed out loud.
"*Gallic profanity*, who..."
However, before she could say those words, Lancao suddenly swallowed them all back.
Because what appeared before her was...
"Premier?"
Arashi's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the person who had cut the phone line.
"Captain Lancao seems to be having some mental issues. Let's take her to the medic to rest for a while, and also bandage her hand."
The Prime Minister smiled, patted Arashi's shoulder, and said softly, "We will take care of the rest."
Then, several men in black suits surrounded Arashi and 'escorted' her toward the logistics department.
As Lancao thought about everything that had happened, she covered her forehead and let out an uncontrollable laugh:
"Madmen, a bunch of complete madmen!"
Chapter 42: What champion are you?
The bloodstains slowly faded from Li Ji's eyes.
He returned to the crack... the place where it all began.
The sky remained the same color, and the earth remained just as solid.
However, the countless collectibles he had brought out from the cracks in his heavy bag reminded him that what had just happened was not a dream.
"Have the troops stationed outside the rift all withdrawn?"
Looking at the deserted camp outside, Li Ji felt a sense of unease.
If there are signs of a fight in front of him, then forget it.
After all, things are in complete chaos outside, and conflicts with the enemy are inevitable.
But outside this huge crack, there isn't even a dead body, a trace of blood, or even a hint of a battle.
Even if things get really out of hand, can we just let this crack go?
"I feel like something's really wrong... Where's Lancao? Or is there anyone else in the live stream who knows the situation? What's going on outside right now?"
[The situation is completely chaotic in every district now.]
[The battle is similar to the one inside the rift... except that both we and the monsters can move now.]
[Our garrison here has been almost wiped out, but I saw on the news... the Prime Minister said most districts are almost safe. Does that mean our Gorlink district is overrun with monsters? We can't escape at all.]
[Horn District +1]
[Antiyarskaya Gazeta +2]
[...]
[Prenz District +10086]
[Damn, isn't there not a single normal district?]
[The monsters were killed and then quickly reappeared, and that's all the Gaulish forces we have... Not only that, but their stats also seem a bit off to me...]
[Damn, now that you mention it, they do seem to have gained weight... Could it be that we all came in with negative artifacts? I don't have any!?]
"This couldn't possibly be something Baihu could have caused by himself; there must be others involved..."
Li Ji shook his head, looking somewhat puzzled.
"The enemy is growing exponentially, and the rift is even merging with the modern-day Gaul region at an accelerated pace. If the White Tiger could really do this on his own... he should have made his move long ago. Why did he have to wait until now?"
But now this doubt is being amplified, yet everything seems to be covered up by something, making it difficult for Li Ji to figure out the truth.
But just as Li Ji was still pondering, the system, which hadn't appeared on its own for a long time, jumped into his field of vision once again.
Main Quest: End the performance.
[Task Requirements: Live stream must be kept running throughout.]
[Task Reward: Increased live stream signal.]
Side Quest: Uncover the Truth
【mission rewards:? ? ? 】
【hint:
1. The area has been detected as an integrated strategic fusion zone. Only one collection item will be active for each operator.
2. Handing over the collection to the operator will be considered effective.
3. All enemies will also follow this rule.
"You really don't skip missions unless it's absolutely necessary..."
Li Ji looked at the task sent by the system and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"And this rule even applies to the enemy, so if we put a crown on the Great Lock... would my Black Knight be considered a leader unit?"
[A reminder:]
4. Operators are not leader units, and negative collectibles now have positive effects.
5. Some artifacts are still scattered throughout the area and await collection.
To reiterate, rule 3 applies to all enemies as well.
"Did you repeat it again?"
Li Ji looked at the current rules and read them carefully again. "Does this mean... I have to fight the enemy for the collection now?"
Thinking of this, Li Ji's eyes immediately lit up.
If that's the case, then he has a pretty good chance!
Li Ji first took stock of the remaining collection on his person.
They then divided the operators behind them into groups and distributed the available collections to them.
"The tasks have been assigned. Once the tasks are completed, only the cleanup team will remain to do their own thing, and everyone else will gather at the designated location I sent!"
"Roger that!"
Just as the operators were eagerly preparing to set off, a SC with a blank name suddenly appeared in the live stream:
“I’m somewhat interested in what you did in Kazimierz. So, I’ve arranged a wonderful encounter for you here. Would you mind staging a knightly duel with my actors?”
As soon as they appeared, four knights emerged from the shadows in front of Li Ji.
Even though they looked similar, Li Ji could tell that these people were not people he knew.
"Left Hand" Titus Poplar, "Rusty Copper" Olmer Ingra, "Plastic" Serchiak, and Candle Knight Viviana.
Blank space: [To maintain the tension, drama, and fairness of the entire performance, the battle in this area is restricted to knights only!]
"Fine, you want a knight duel, right?"
Li Ji naturally fulfilled any request; he wasn't the type to hide anything. "Just in case you say it's unfair, I'll have three of you against the four of you."
As he spoke, Li Ji shouted, "Knights, step forward!"
Just then, four people slowly walked out from behind Li Ji's large and imposing procession.
Black Knight, Mace.
Radiant Knight, Margaret O Nearl.
Viviana, the Candle Knight.
And... um...
Knight of the Bilge, Marna o Near the Light.
blank:[???]
The actor playing one of the Four Horsemen: "???"
[? ? ? ]
[Holy crap, even Candle Knight Wanfeng got hooked?]
[She's so beautiful under that mask! I declare her the 14524th girl to capture my heart.]
[Brother, there's a huge fight going on outside, how can you still be tempted?]
