Chapter 978 Sweepers

[System Limit 30%] is a state that most players have never experienced.

This level of limit has broken through the limitations of players in the script. If anyone still remembers the situation when Feng Bujue and Li Ruoyu entered the inner world together, they should know... 30% is the limit level of players in the inner world.

In this state, the game menu called by the player will no longer appear "in front of the eyes", but directly appear in the "consciousness".

The "interface" they observe is also brand new...

The status bar in the new menu has completely disappeared, and the player's survival, physical fitness, spiritual power value, and abnormal status will not be displayed in the form of data - all these things now require players to feel and measure with their own body senses.

In addition, the players' pain perception will also be enhanced. Considering that the "forced disconnection" mechanism has failed, this is still very scary.

Of course, this state also has advantages and disadvantages.

Although the auxiliary functions given by the system have been reduced, the relative... restrictions are also reduced. The player's perception will become more detailed and... real.

The increased system limit will undoubtedly allow some high-end players to exert stronger combat power than usual, but... they also have to bear the corresponding risks.

…………

Two minutes after the invasion, in Shiva's conference room.

"How is it? Can you do it?" Brahma asked anxiously, looking at the four teammates at the conference table.

"You can see it..." Vishnu shrugged and replied, "If it can be done, the successful person has already turned into white light and gone offline."

"Fuck..." Brahma couldn't help but slap the table and cursed.

"Eh?" Ashura was stunned for a second after hearing this, and asked doubtfully, "Why is the word 'fuck' not blocked?"

"Hey, hey... At this time, do you still care whether the system blocks swear words?" Brahma asked back.

"No, this may be very important." Among these people. It was the female player Yama who seemed the calmest. She continued in a deep voice, "You all heard the system voice just now... I think the fact that the swear words were not blocked and the changes in the game menu... are all related to the '30% limit'."

"Hmm..." At this time, the fifth person sitting at the main seat of the conference table, Shiva, finally spoke, "I didn't expect... that what 'he' said was true."

"'He'?" Vishnu heard this and keenly noticed something, "Who? What did he say?"

Shiva replied thoughtfully: "Three days ago, that is, the early morning when I gave up. Feng Bujue sneaked into my house and told me... on the day of the finals, the army of derivatives would invade the game space."

"Wow~wow~" Dafantian was shocked. He widened his eyes and read, "Boss... the amount of information in your words is a bit amazing..."

"In the past, I wouldn't believe a word of that kind of words." Shiva didn't respond to the other party's chat, but continued, "But... due to 'some recent experiences', I now... don't know what to believe." He breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled bitterly, "Heh... If I really have to choose, I would rather believe Feng Bujue..."

"Cousin, what on earth have you been through?" Ashura is a middle school boy. One of the characteristics of middle school boys is that they have a very accurate intuition, "Did you see a ghost?"

Before he finished speaking, Shiva turned his head and looked at his 17-year-old cousin: "It's not a ghost... it's an angel."

"Huh? Angel? What the hell is this?" Dafantian expressed his opinion straightforwardly.

Shiva was about to reply to him, but unexpectedly...

Bang--

Suddenly. A violent collision sounded from the wall on one side of the conference room.

Bang, bang, bang--

Immediately afterwards, there were three more rapid and violent consecutive sounds... The wall was bumped up in response.

"Fuck?" This time even Vishnu cursed, "There's something outside this wall?"

"In theory... there's nothing. Because outside the wall is the data layer. The 'space' there is completely different from the 'space' we are in." Shiva was surprisingly calm. He stood up and explained, "According to Feng Bujue... Link and Ed jointly created a mass-produced creature called 'Redundant Soldier'. This creature can move at high speed in the 'data layer' in the form of data, and instantly take shape when approaching the 'physical space' and invade it."

Bang! Crack--

Just as he was narrating, the metal wall of the conference room was smashed and torn.

The next second, a purple-black redundant soldier poked his narrow head in and let out a terrifying low groan.

"However, the strength of these guys should not be high." Shiva said, and walked forward slowly, raised his hand and used a move [Sharp Fang Divine Power], piercing the forehead of the redundant soldier.

Then, there was a "pop" sound, like the sound of a crustacean shell breaking... The redundant soldier's forehead was pierced by Shiva's fingertips and exploded. The fatally wounded redundant soldier didn't even make a cry, and suddenly lost his strength and turned into a stream of data light... dissipated in the air.

"If it hits the vital point, this level of skill is enough to kill someone instantly." Shiva added in a commentary tone, and took back his right hand.

However, before he finished speaking, several arms and heads suddenly popped out from the cracks in the wall.

Shiva took two steps back when he saw this, and then continued: "Anyway... this is the main force you will face next." He glanced at the exit of the conference room, "While the exit is not destroyed, let's go out quickly and go to the mall through the landing space to meet up."

"Ang——"

"Ah——"

When Shiva was halfway through his words, the redundant soldiers seemed to understand, and they all roared in a low voice and accelerated their movements to squeeze out of the crack.

"Remember, don't stay in a narrow space." Shiva's reaction was still quite calm. He reminded his teammates what to pay attention to, and his fists rose again, using simple physical skills to force back the advance of the redundant soldiers. "Whether it is a landing space, a personal warehouse, or a scare box... As long as the redundant soldiers sense that there is a data response in a certain 'phase layer', they will invade it. Even if you can withstand their siege in a small place, once the surrounding walls are demolished, you will still be involved in the data layer... Where you will be teleported next, only God knows."

"Understood." At this time. Yama had already walked to the door of the conference room. Before she left, she turned back and said, "Then let's follow the old rules...see you in Area 101."

A digression here...Since Brother Jue set the common mall plane of the Hell Front in Area 101, many high-level players who knew Feng Bujue also set their common mall planes there in order to occasionally meet Brother Jue. Over time, the teammates and friends of those players also changed their common settings...So, Area 101 has unknowingly become a gathering place for various celebrity players.

"Boss, we'll wait for you." After the door in front opened and closed, Brahma also said something and walked in.

"About the topic of 'angels'..." Vishnu retreated to the door. He also turned back and said, "...I look forward to the follow-up." After that, he also went in.

In a blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the conference room.

"Cousin, you should leave as well. Leave this to me." At this time, Asura entered the middle school second-year mode and said a line similar to the death flag.

"By the way..." Shiva glanced at him with his peripheral vision, "... With your ability, you can move freely in the data layer, right..."

"That's right." Asura replied with great momentum, "You retreat first, I will go directly into the crack here in a while..." As he said that, his eyes actually showed fanaticism. "That pretentious Link... I will defeat him!"

…………

At the same time, in Area 4 of the mall.

"Eh? What's going on?" A middle-aged man stood woodenly in a corner of the mall, scratching his head, looking confused.

This man's surname is Li. His given name is Feng, the owner of "Ruoyunzhai" in the east of S City. Even Feng Bujue has to call him "Uncle Li".

Forget the audience of the previous article. When you see this, you may think that I am introducing the leader of some dark organization, but... viewers with good memory should still remember that "Ruoyunzhai" is engaged in art auction, appraisal and exhibition business, and... it is opened by Ruoyu's family.

Seeing this, I think everyone understands that yes... Li Feng is Li Ruoyu's father.

Speaking of Ruoyu's father, he is definitely a standard winner in life in reality.

Let's talk about family background first... Among Li Feng's grandfathers, there is a very famous person, that is, the emperor superstar who was well-known at the beginning of this century-Li Hua. Even in 2055, half a century later, many people still regard him as a male god.

Although Li Feng is not a direct descendant of Li Hua, and there is a saying that wealth cannot last for more than three generations... but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Li Feng's family background since childhood is still quite good.

Looking at the growth experience... Li Feng has always received a good education in the first half of his life. Although his personality is a bit shy, he does not have social barriers like his daughter. It can be said that before the age of 20, his life basically did not encounter any twists and turns.

Until... he met Shui Ruoyun, Ruoyu's mother.

The two met when they were studying abroad in Vienna. The story of one attacker and one receiver went on for three or four years. It's not a big problem to write a romance novel alone, so I won't go into details.

To make a long story short, the two got married shortly after returning to China and founded Ruoyunzhai.

At that time, Li Feng didn't know that Shui Ruoyun's parents... as Gu Chen said, were two of the ten strongest psychics on the planet; and Shui Ruoyun's aunt was Gu Chen's wife. Gu Chen and his wife... were obviously not easy to deal with.

In short, Li Feng joined the luxury lunch without knowing it... oh no... joined a family with a very dark background.

In fact, to this day, Li Feng doesn't know the existence of the supernatural world (because he is too easy to fool, his wife and daughter kept it from him to protect him), and he himself is just an ordinary person.

But... this ordinary person is really lucky, maybe... he is a positive example of good people getting good rewards and fools getting good luck.

In this unprecedented crisis of the game space being invaded... Li Feng, who is only level 10 (although he created the game character a long time ago, Li Feng rarely has time to go online, and only plays occasionally in non-sleep mode), and has no idea of ​​the situation, has lived longer than many high-level players...

Because he couldn't squeeze through those young people, when the first wave of impact came, Li Feng was far away from the crowd near the big screen, so he escaped the first round of the redundant soldiers' charge.

And because he was standing with his back to the system store. When the invasion broke out, the fleeing crowd did not rush to him.

A few minutes later, as more and more redundant soldiers poured in, their growth rate far exceeded the killing speed of the guard robot. At this point, a team of redundant soldiers finally killed Li Feng.

But at the same moment, the NPC in the store behind Uncle Li... took action.

On weekdays, those NPCs standing in the system store have always been nicknamed "wooden stakes" by players. These guys basically don't talk or do anything; when players come to buy things, they just need to stand in front of the counter and call out a virtual menu to complete the transaction. Those NPCs stand here just to create a "store feeling".

In fact... how could the store in the online game adopt the "talk to buy" mechanism? If it really adopts that kind of sales method... Have you seen the queue for business at the bank? Have you seen the queue for cashier at the supermarket? Let alone a game with hundreds of thousands or even millions of players. Even a game with tens of thousands of people online at the same time... Why don't you try to turn the store selling blood bottles into a "chat and buy" mechanism? You want to buy things without queuing for several nights?

However, today, those "wooden stakes" revealed their true identity to the players with their actions - enhanced guard robots.

Just when Li Feng was about to be killed by a redundant soldier, the owner of the equipment store behind him turned over and jumped out of the counter, kicked the redundant soldier in half with a kick. Then, the equipment store owner performed a great show of mowing the grass in front of Li Feng. He single-handedly resisted the sudden attack of seventy or eighty redundant soldiers, killing soldiers like slaughtering pigs and dogs...

Unfortunately, this situation. It probably lasted for two minutes...

There were only about sixty shop owners and guard robots in the area. Although the guard robots had the ability to teleport and had physical skills equivalent to level 60 players (the upper limit of the player level was 50, but the guard robots could be set to 60. In addition, the original limit of the player in the game space was 2%, and it was impossible to initiate a battle, so under normal circumstances, the guard robots were more than enough to manage the players), they also had their limits. When the number of redundant soldiers reached ten to one, or even twenty to one, the guard robots could not bear it... Once they were damaged, it was only a matter of time before they were eliminated.

As for the shop owners, they could fight one hundred at a time. Their upper limit was higher than that of ordinary guard robots. When the "quality" reached a certain level, they could no longer be threatened by "quantity".

However... the redundant soldiers created by Link and Ed were not just the lowest-level "redundant soldiers". They also created some more advanced things - [raid] (redundant_arrays_of_independent_disks).

According to the detailed explanation, these creatures are "independent redundant disk arrays"; of course, there is also a simple name - [Sweepers].

The appearance of sweepers is very similar to that of humans, but their entire bodies are covered with the same black and purple "skin shell" as redundant soldiers. From the perspective of body size, they seem to be less deterrent than those tall redundant soldiers, but the difference in combat effectiveness between the two... is simply a world of difference.

Although the intelligence of sweepers is not very high, their strength is already at the level of third-level derivatives, and they all have "tactical control modules". The most important point is... sweepers are "mass-produced" objects, as long as there is enough time and resources, as many as possible can be made.

In the twelfth minute after the invasion began... the first sweeper appeared, followed by the second and third...

It turned out that the massive "redundant soldiers" were just the vanguard responsible for the charge... and the sweepers were the main force to complete the cleanup.

Bang——

With a bang, the NPC in front of Li Feng exploded into data fragments under the attack of three sweepers.

Uncle Li, sweating profusely, stepped back step by step until his back hit the counter of the system store. He had to stop: "Uh... Although I don't know what's going on, with so many monsters surrounding me... I'm probably going to die..."

This time, it was impossible for the guards to save him. The guards and shop owners in Area 4 were all trapped in the siege and couldn't take care of themselves. Currently, the surviving players basically gathered in groups of three or five, forming a defensive formation to resist the attack.

"But... dying is just 'dying back' to the landing space... right?" Uncle Li was a little unconfident when he muttered to himself to the last word.

At the same time, a sweeper had already walked in front of him and raised his fist...

Bang——

A punch, hit!

This was a solid punch, a punch burning with fiery fighting spirit.

But this punch was not thrown by the Sweeper, but...

"Uncle, are you okay?"

At that moment, a figure with extremely clear back muscle lines appeared in front of Li Feng, and the Sweeper who raised his fist a second ago was nowhere to be found...

Uncle Li rubbed his eyes and looked at the other party's ID - [Seven Kills].

"Uh... I'm fine." Uncle Li replied, "Thank you, young man."

"Hehe... You're welcome." Qi Sha turned his head, raised two fingers and waved them gently beside his eyebrows, saying hello to Uncle Li; when he did this, Uncle Li could clearly see white smoke coming out of Qi Sha's right hand gloves...

"Uncle, don't be afraid." The next second, another voice sounded, and with it, a strong man holding a huge shield and a body comparable to Schwarzenegger appeared, "We will protect you."

It is obvious that the one who came this time... is Long Aomin.

"Don't be careless, Uncle Li is only level 10." Political Commissar Tan Lang also appeared on the top of the store soon, "If he is touched by the other party... I may not even have a chance to treat him."

"Huh?" Uncle Li was very curious, why did they know that his last name was Li? His nickname in the game was clearly [Yun Dan Feng Qing], "How did you know..."

He didn't even finish his question when Blade's leader Po Jun showed up and interrupted him, "The political commissar is right... Everyone, cheer up! If Uncle Li makes a mistake, we'll all have to go to the section chief for tea..."

"Ah!"

"Fight!"

"This is the only place... We must defend it!"

At this moment, Blade's team members were excited and full of fighting spirit. They had never shown such momentum even during the game. (To be continued...)
