Chapter 351 Toy War (IV)
In the early morning, at 12:30, there is a frozen food counter on the first floor of the supermarket.
Long counters for dairy products and refrigerated drinks are lined up against the wall, with their edges about a meter above the floor. At this moment, classmates Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi, as vanguard members, were walking on this edge.
From their perspective, the path in front of them was not too narrow. It was roughly equivalent to a single-plank bridge that could allow two people to walk side by side. On the left side of the bridge, there is a cold low-temperature container, and many boxes of milk are neatly arranged there like buildings facing the street. On the right side of the bridge, there is a cliff with a huge drop (nearly one meter, more than ten times their height).
The lights in the low-temperature container ensure the visibility of this area. Of course, these are not lamps specifically used for lighting, so most corners are still in shadow.
Standing on the edge of the container and looking down, you can have a panoramic view of the classic Nintendo Strike Team.
Those Nintendo toys, except for characters that are larger and can be propelled like heavy weapons (such as r.o.b), all sit on "eight-bit tanks" and march.
[
There are three models of these eight-bit machine tanks. The first one is the nes (actually the American version of the red and white machine, the full name is Nintendo Entertainment System. It is obviously just a game console released in the 1990s, but the name is a bit different than today's. The Era console is more high-end and classy. It is square in shape. The base is a few centimeters narrower than the upper part. The color is white at the top and gray at the bottom. The cassette is designed to be embedded horizontally into the fuselage as a whole.
The second type is the fc (that is, the red and white machine, the full name is family puter... it is not worthy of the name) type, with a red and white appearance, the volume is slightly smaller than the nes, and the cassette is inserted vertically.
The third type is the Little Overlord (a classic case of counterfeit goods counterattacking the genuine product. The unclear phrase "Little Overlord has endless fun" when turning on the computer is also a milestone in brainwashing marketing) type, with an all-black appearance and golden logos (two (Contacting boxing glove logo), the size is between NES and FC, and it also has a unique circular reset button and an automatically closing dust-proof baffle, which can be described as domineering.
At this time, there were about thirty or forty eight-position tanks lined up in a flying geese formation, advancing slowly. Among them, NES and FC each accounted for half, while Xiaobawang only had one. Located at the back of the team, controlled by the brothers Mario and Luigi.
And the way these "tanks" are operated... is controlled by the characters sitting on them using handles. As for its operating principle and power...all are unknown.
"Your reconnaissance expertise is better than mine, so you should be able to see further." Feng Bujue walked in front and said to Xiaotan without looking back.
"Ah, I'm looking at it." Xiao Tan responded, but unfortunately, with his eyesight, he could only see a very limited range, "No enemy situation has been discovered yet."
"To be honest. It's very dangerous for us to be like this now." Feng Bujue said: "There is nothing wrong with the vanguard occupying a high point and detecting the enemy's situation. But..." he paused, "being exposed near a light source like us is... Such a high position, there is almost no cover around you...in case you are seen by the opponent's sniper..."
"That's right!" Xiaotan's reaction was quite quick at this moment, "And the sad spirit knows that you have [Artemis' Embrace], so it's difficult to kill you with one shot. You'll definitely have to kill me first!"
"In addition, what interests me more is... It seems that from the beginning, the two of us have been in an unchanging plot direction, and then we have gradually become cannon fodder in the classic camp." Feng Bujue said. "This arrangement of 'taking the lead' is asking us to die."
"What does this mean?" Xiaotan asked.
"Hmm... If Xiyu and Bei Ling are treated like this at Novel, then I'm being overly concerned." Feng Bujue muttered, "But I seriously doubt... we were given special treatment by the system. Take care of it.”
Xiaotan continued, "You mean...those NPCs have a bad attitude towards us, and it's all caused by the system?"
"No, this is not just a matter of attitude..." Feng Bujue waved his finger, "Looking at it from a more macro concept, what the system controls... is the so-called 'potential'." He explained, "It It can allow players to easily obtain resources in the script and take advantage of the situation; it can also create some trouble for players and make them spend more effort when taking action.”
"Then..." After hearing this, Xiao Tan asked a very boring question, "Do you have a grudge against the system?"
"I'm too lazy to respond to such an ignorant question." Feng Bujue said, "What I want to say is... this reminds me of a post I saw on the forum. The title was something like 'Exploration of Hidden Rules in the Script'."
"Is that reliable?" Xiao sighed.
"That's just a summary of a player's experience in playing games, and it's not an academic paper. You have to judge for yourself whether it's reliable or not." Feng Bujue said in a tone like an elder trying to reason with a child, "Practice and thinking are indispensable. ah."
"Okay... what's the content of the post?" Xiaotan asked.
"There is quite a lot of content, but most of it is based on assumptions that cannot be verified based on the player's identity." Feng Bujue replied, "One of the paragraphs mentioned... the killing game that starts as a challenge has a hidden meaning of 'benefit for those who challenge' Principle." He paused for a second and said in detail: "For example, suppose... there are two players A and B, and A's combat power is stronger than B's...
When A challenges B to a 1v1 killing game, after entering the script, the system will allow B to gain a certain 'power', or increase the difficulty for 'A' to gain power.
And when B challenges A, the script keeps developing by default. "
"That is to say... the one who challenges is always more cost-effective." Xiaotan followed Brother Jue's suggestion, "If the challenging party is stronger, the challenging party will get preferential treatment; if the challenging party is relatively stronger, Weak, the challenger will not suffer."
"Yes." Feng Bujue said, "So...if this hidden rule really exists, then it makes sense that we, as the inviters of this 2v2 battle, would have such a passive start."
"Wait... doesn't this mean..." Xiao Tan looked surprised, "The system has determined that our strength is stronger than the combination of Xiao Ling and Sister Yu?"
"Hmph... I can deal with them all by myself." Unexpectedly, Feng Bujue replied in an extremely calm tone.
"Hey... although it's great to be ranked second in the combat power rankings, your attitude is too arrogant." Xiao Tan complained.
"Have you two finished talking?" Suddenly, another voice sounded.
Follow the sound. The two of them saw a small black man appearing on the outer packaging of a milk carton next to them, who was the coder. As a unique 2D character, one of his abilities is that he can move freely on various planes. "Is there anything you can report to me?"
"Uh... no." Xiaotan replied, pointing in the direction of the outside of the cabinet, "Look, there are no other toys, and the back of the row of cabinets in the front is completely black."
"Strange... we already crossed the 'danger line' three minutes ago..." the coder muttered. Then he raised his voice slightly and said: "Okay... continue to be vigilant and move forward, and signal to us if necessary." After giving the order, he swam down the wall along the surface of the container...
"Understood, sir!" Feng Bujue responded in a pretentious manner, watching the other person move away against the surface.
"What he just said was an obvious reminder..." Xiao Tan said after a few seconds.
"Yes, I'm afraid there will be one soon..." Before Feng Bujue finished speaking, he heard a loud roar coming from below the container, "Enemy attack!"
Xiao Tan's fright level increased slightly. He immediately looked around nervously. Brother Jue was relatively calm. He first turned to look at the roaring toy - Diddy Kong (a monkey wearing a red hat, different from Donkey Kong. He can talk...), and found that Didi jumped up and down on the nes and pointed...in the air!
Click, click, click—at this moment, a strange sound sounded rhythmically.
Behind a higher shelf from the southwest. Several Lego helicopters appeared, and in the cockpit of each helicopter was a mini figure.
"It's okay if the eight-bit computer can be used as a means of transportation... How can a Lego plane fly..." Feng Bujue said. It seems that he still needs some time to accept this setting...but the battle will not stop there.
"Slow down the advance and maintain the formation! The large toys protect the wings, and the long-range combat units are ready to counterattack!" Mario is worthy of being the supreme commander of the Nintendo Commando. He does not panic when facing encounters and quickly gives a series of combat instructions.
"Roar -" King Kong roared with his head held high, sprinting up and standing at the front of the team. It beat its two strong chest muscles with both fists, as if to show its strength to the enemy. From a toy perspective, this orangutan is indeed very courageous, full of strength, and not slow in its movements.
Puff puff……
The helicopter opened fire mercilessly, and pieces of "Lego brick bullets" flew through the sky.
Samus and Mega Man riding on the tank reacted fastest. They both raised the impact cannons at the front of their arms to fight back, and the ammunition they fired turned out to be beam bombs...
"Hey... This is already beyond the capabilities of the toy itself on a physical level!" Feng Bujue thought that fighting with toys was basically just melee combat, or at best throwing things like R.O.B. For him and Xiao Tan, the long-range threats mainly came from Bei Ling and Xi Yu.
Unexpectedly, in actual combat, this was not the case at all. Both classic and novel have continuous and reliable long-range firepower output, and even the air force...
"Brother Jue... How about we go down here first? Before the other party notices us..." Xiaotan put forward a very good constructive suggestion.
"Well, that's what I meant... withdraw!" Before he finished speaking, Feng Bujue jumped down along the outside of the edge of the container. He has [Moon Step] with him, so as long as the kinetic energy accumulated when falling does not exceed the upper limit of the skill, there is no possibility of falling to death.
Xiao Tan saw this and followed suit. Relying on the title skill, he can run directly along the cabinet wall, which is easier than Feng Bujue.
Unexpectedly, just as they were approaching the ground, Novel's high-speed ground troops also happened to arrive and rushed out from the side of a large freezer in front.
At a glance, that dark area is full of Gundams... (To be continued...)
