Chapter 394 Miniature Night City
"What happened... Why did I do something so stupid just now?"
After the power of destiny swept across this world, Adam was stunned by the sudden impact of his hammer.
The incomprehensible actions he had just witnessed kept replaying in his mind, almost burning out his CPU.
Although he couldn't understand why he had acted like a fool just now, as a former legend of Night City, he quickly realized that this was not a time of leisure, but a battlefield.
There was no time for him to think about the reason for that strange thing that had just happened.
He clenched his fists, and blue electricity surged from his body. Then he punched Bai Zhi and Yin Lang.
"Huh, you broke through the limit so quickly?"
Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised, but her hands were not idle. She gently raised her hand, and the power of the imaginary numbers seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, turning into a stream of water that swirled in the air.
Then, the water flowed like a nimble dragon, rushing towards Adam's hammer.
? !
Upon seeing this scene, Adam's pupils constricted; this was truly beyond his expectations.
This is something that no prosthetic body can do.
If I'm not hallucinating, the other person is probably not someone easy to deal with.
However, he still raised his mechanical arm to protect his vitals, while simultaneously dodging left and right, trying to find an opening to rush towards Bai Zhi and shorten the distance between them.
However, compared to those guys in the Star Iron world, Adam's Hammer might only be good for hitting ordinary people.
Any golden man or cloud cavalryman from a celestial ship that came along could teach this guy a good lesson.
Not to mention Angelica dahurica, which uses even a little bit of its power.
So, when Adam tried to charge forward with his hammer, she controlled the water flow, forming a strong barrier that not only blocked his attack.
At the same time, a powerful stream of water split off and rushed toward Adam's hammer.
"hiss!!"
The water grazed Adam's shoulder as he swung his hammer, and Adam immediately gasped.
His shoulder disappeared simply from being touched.
It was as if the water wasn't water at all, but some sharp metal object, and his heavy armor looked like it was made of paper.
He gritted his teeth, roared, and white smoke appeared behind him, from which several tracking missiles emerged.
Then... he turned and ran!
He's not stupid; Bai Zhi's attack method is too outrageous.
Anyone with a normal IQ can tell that the other person is definitely not an ordinary person.
Maybe it's some kind of magician hiding in the underworld, or maybe it's some kind of alien, anyway, it's not a normal human.
His transformation was for the purpose of fighting normal humans.
Aliens and magicians are not within his reach.
Bai Zhi twitched the corner of her mouth. This was too decisive, wasn't it? She really ran away without any class?
You're supposed to be the final boss, this is really beneath you.
However, Bai Zhi wouldn't let this guy go. Under her control, the surrounding water flowed continuously towards Adam's hammer, eventually forming a whirlpool.
"This boring battle should end soon."
Bai Zhi clenched her fist, and the vortex instantly closed, completely engulfing the opponent.
In less than a second, the vortex dissipated, while Adam Hammer stood still, staring blankly at Bai Zhi.
Then, his body began to fall off piece by piece, as if being sliced by the sharpest knife.
"..."
Bai Zhi shook her head and threw a burst of flame at Adam's hammer.
In an instant, this boss, which could be said to represent the end of the game, was burned to nothingness.
A "thud" sounded as a heavy object hit the ground.
"what…"
Bai Zhi picked up the glass ball from the ground with some surprise.
This is a glass ball about the size of Bai Zhi's palm.
Of course, the material is not the key point.
The key point is that the interior of this thing seems to contain a miniature version of the Night City landscape.
She looked closely and discovered that the scenery seemed to be moving, as if there was a real city inside.
"System, what is this thing?"
In case of trouble, ask the system.
Bai Zhi was certain that this thing was definitely not something that should have originally appeared.
Miniature Night City: This item allows you to create a Night City in both dreams and the real world, and it even has a self-repair function.
[Adam's Hammer, as the iconic boss of the current world, carries the function of reverting the current world to a previous state.]
This world is not a complete world, so each time Adam's Hammer is defeated, it marks the beginning of a new cycle, and the world will restart.
Once the power of destiny intervenes, the world will evolve towards its complete form, eliminating the need for rollbacks.
This item is the embodiment of that power.
"I see…"
Bai Zhi nodded knowingly. To put it bluntly, Adam's death was roughly equivalent to Natsuki Subaru's experience in Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-, a trigger for an event.
It is the root cause that allows this incomplete world to continue to function.
"This is actually a pretty good item~"
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly. With this, there would be no need to go through the trouble of rebuilding a new Night City in the dream.
"Looks like you had a good haul!"
Silver Wolf came closer, glanced at the sphere in Bai Zhi's hand, and said.
"Isn't Silver Wolf curious about what this is?"
Bai Zhi tossed the glass ball.
"I'm curious, but there's no need to ask. You'll tell me what you want to say, and you probably won't want to tell me if it's a secret."
"So, although I'm curious about your ability to summon the Star God, well... I won't ask."
Silver Wolf crossed his arms and said coolly.
"All I need to know is that you're probably the kind of big shot who can help me take off, and that's enough for me~"
"It's like when I play games, I cheat and carry my teammates to victory. I'll just say 'C' and the others can just cheer me on."
"Silver Wolf... do you cheat even when playing online games?"
Sensing Bai Zhi's strange gaze, Silver Wolf was somewhat displeased. "So what?"
"Those rich guys fight with money, I fight with skill, isn't that fair?"
"Besides, the whole world is a game, why torture yourself instead of having fun?"
"Besides, I usually only cheat in PVE games. I wouldn't do it in regular PVP. After all, I'm a gaming expert and I wouldn't stoop to such a thing!"
"Oh, really?"
Bai Zhi looked at Yin Lang meaningfully. Yin Lang's PV had shown that this genius hacker was actually terrible at games.
The idea that you can't beat Titan with a Haha Rabbit is very abstract.
"Hey, what kind of look is that? I'm very capable, and cheating is just to save time!"
"Ah, yes, yes, Silver Wolf, you're right."
Chapter 395 Silver Wolf: I'm only slightly weaker than Ruan Mei.
"Tch, I don't want to argue with you about this. The technology for the rec chip should be stored deeper inside the server."
"Let's go and see what's so special about this thing."
Silver Wolf coughed lightly, quickly changing the subject. If they continued, the fact that she was bad at the game would be exposed.
This is really bad. How can a genius hacker like her be a gaming novice?
"Alright, alright, let's go take a look."
Bai Zhi nodded with amusement, and waved to the people behind her.
"V over there, come here. Let's go get the REC chip together. I'll also tell you a few things about us."
"it is good!"
V nodded, walked to Bai Zhi's side, and glanced at the spot where Adam's hammer had just been burned to ashes.
Having gone through all of this, she was genuinely curious about Bai Zhi's true identity.
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will recruit you as my employee, so I will try my best to explain things to you."
"Hmm...you ask first, we can talk as we walk."
Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then spoke seriously.
"What kind of force do you come from? Aliens? Or are you one of those magical organizations that protect humanity, like in the movies?"
"And what is your purpose?"
V asked impatiently, and Johnny's silver hand appeared in her mind's eye, pretending to listen.
“You have quite the imagination…” Silver Wolf laughed when he heard V’s questions.
"In a sense, we are indeed aliens, but as for our purpose? We don't have one."
"We just happened to arrive here via the Star Train, and then this Miss Silver Wolf became interested in the technology of the REC chip, which led to the incident of breaking through this place."
Bai Zhi glanced at the silver wolf and then said.
"what?"
V was stunned by this answer. In her mind, even if Bai Zhi and Yin Lang weren't members of some mysterious mage organization, they must have done this with some kind of mysterious goal in mind.
But unexpectedly, it was so simple, just to satisfy my curiosity?
"You can think of Silver Wolf as a poor girl who can't afford to spend money on in-game purchases, but her recovery skills happen to be worth some money, so she did this."
"As for me, since Aragaki Company is no good anyway, I came along too."
"Spend money on games?"
All that fighting and charging in, just for this?
Seemingly sensing V's disbelief, Bai Zhi explained:
"That's actually quite normal. People have to bow down for a living. Even though Silver Wolf has the power to destroy stars, he still needs to eat, drink, and play games."
“I understand…” V nodded with some difficulty.
Although she understood this, Bai Zhi's words about the Silver Wolf, who possessed the power to destroy stars, still had so many needs that were similar to those of a normal person.
She was indeed a little too surprised.
After all, all those powerful figures do things befitting their status.
The company's top management was always scheming, and the gang leaders all had their own agendas.
Even Adam's hammer, which is now dead, is cruel and tyrannical.
Everyone was like a character in a comic book, with a distinct personality.
Silver Wolf, who wields such power, must be incredibly cunning and scheming.
