Hei Deng Xia Huo
Chapter 823 Prayer
After Li Ang's testing, the bullets fired from the Peacemaker Revolver were terrifyingly powerful, able to blast a two-meter-diameter crater in the artificial organ wall of the Zerg nest, which was specifically used to test power.
In addition, the revolver's instant damage with no delay, as well as the headshot-only power boost, compensated for Li Ang's lack of ranged attack methods.
As for the disadvantages of massive recoil, failure to fire if not aiming, and non-refundable bullets, they could be offset by Li Ang's strength and dynamic vision.
In addition to these two Perfect-grade equipment pieces, Li Ang also purchased several disposable consumable skill scrolls, ranging in quality from Perfect to Rare, covering melee, psionic, and magic series, to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise.
Finally, with the remaining money, he bought Chai Chai a cultivation manual suitable for her power system.
As for the products bought from other guilds...
Gen-Sys Biotech's flesh-based healing potions for biological creatures;
Prometheus Labs' ten Jackal Mk. II mechanical exoskeleton power armors, twenty Hummingbird Mk. III unmanned reconnaissance drones (the ones Jue Que used before) and their配套control devices;
Two Jaguar 2 high-speed motorcycles, two Sabretooth V amphibious armored vehicles, and two Black Hawk 4 quadrotor utility helicopters from European Heavy Industries Group, along with countless rifles, heavy machine guns, cannons, grenade launchers, and anti-tank rocket launchers.
The European Heavy Industries Group, formed by the merger of several arms companies, has the largest stockpile of modern military weapons of all guilds. If it weren't for official prohibitions, and the fact that players' regular space storage devices couldn't hold them, they would even have the nerve to sell third-generation attack aircraft with the weapons removed.
All kinds of original potions made by the Witch Alliance—stronger and more versatile than Li Ang's, but also more expensive;
Living magical beasts from the Thousand-Throated Beast Guild, such as the incredibly strong kodo beasts, wyverns, troll bats, undead spiders, etc.—Li Ang bought these magical beasts not to ride or control them, but to enrich the Zerg gene pool.
Various living demon experimental products from the Demon Scientists Alliance, such as flesh abominations wrapped in barbed chains, ghouls that can survive by eating rotten flesh—bought and used for the same purpose.
Whale Song's EMP electromagnetic pulse jammer, which can interfere with electronic devices within a certain range, and the anti-EMP electromagnetic pulse jammer—to resist the former's electromagnetic pulse.
Whale Song sold the spear and the shield together, forcing players who wanted to use electronic devices to buy both—so evil.
Three container loads of special alloy ingots from the Sword King's Court;
Talismans and disposable magical artifacts from the Different Studies Society;
Mechanical traps from the Mechanic.
The price of all these things added up wasn't lower than two pieces of Perfect-grade equipment—none of the major guilds had the idea of cherishing their own brooms and hiding things from other players,
The Killing Game was full of guilds, and most commodities were replaceable. If you didn't earn this money, other guilds would.
Of course, in order to recycle wealth and strengthen the players under their control, the major guilds now only accept game currency for the sale of goods, not real-world currency.
Li Ang didn't go himself when purchasing items (which might leak information), but entrusted Mule—it was said that information peddlers, brokers, private detectives, and mercenaries had also formed a secret organization to exchange information, with a very wide scope of business.
After taking care of all this, Li Ang was fully armed, silently waiting in an uninhabited suburban underground.
In these four days, he had done everything he could, maximizing resource utilization efficiency. As for the outcome... do your best and leave the rest to fate.
Thirty minutes before the official start of the Door of Despair Lost World segment, the Global Supernatural Alliance, in conjunction with local authorities, once again made a global announcement through television, mobile phones, the internet, radio, and other channels.
Some factories stopped production, planes stopped flying, student parents stayed at home, and front-line agents of local Unusual Affairs Handling Organizations responsible for maintaining stability patrolled the city streets and high altitudes in armored vehicles and helicopters to prevent riots.
Several major video platforms had been taken over by local officials, the security performance of network servers had been raised to the highest level, and hundreds of commentators urgently trained by the Watchers Society had also taken their positions. They were proficient in various languages, would work in three shifts, and would cooperate with players who knew equipment skills to comment on the live broadcast.
In the command centers set up by the major forces in the real world, densely packed staff members stood in the brightly lit command halls, watching the huge screens hanging on the walls, silently praying for the participating players who were staying in the highest-level secret dormitories of the command centers.
"..."
In the Wanhe Community of Yin City, on the twentieth floor of Building Three, Chai Chai, wearing a Li Ang-shaped puppet, sat in front of the computer, blankly watching the home pages of the dozens of live streaming websites that had been opened on the computer screen.
The commentators in suits and ties were facing the camera and talking eloquently, using different languages to tell the content about the Door of Despair that the Global Supernatural Alliance had told them they could say—
Those Watcher commentators who were already players were more relaxed, while the ordinary commentators who had no extraordinary power but were invited because of their good commentary skills and wide influence seemed more nervous.
They all wore Bluetooth headsets in their ears, and could obviously receive instructions from the Global Supernatural Alliance and local Unusual Affairs Management Organizations. What to say and what not to say were all clear in their minds during the training process.
"Hoo..."
Chai Chai slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and leaned back in her chair.
The curtains in the room were tightly closed, and the computer screen, as the only light source, illuminated the mobile phone, paper, pen, snacks, cola, clock, and an antique thread-bound book that was out of place with the other items placed on the table.
The paper of the book was brownish-yellow, unremarkable, and had no energy fluctuations. The cover was written with bizarre and obscure twisted handwriting, with the name of the book—《Ji Du An Chi Jiu You Yin》.
Five minutes...
Chai Chai looked at the continuously reversing second hand on the clock and rubbed her fingers back and forth.
Three minutes.
Seeming to sense the saintess's nervous emotions, the brain worm that had transformed into her right arm opened its eyes on the surface of her arm, looked around, and then slowly closed them.
One minute.
The commentators on the screen were still talking and laughing. The Global Supernatural Alliance had deliberately set a 1-5 minute delay on all live streaming platforms to prevent live broadcast accidents.
Chai Chai had no time to listen to the complicated and chaotic voices in her headset, nor did she have time to reply to the text message sent by Wang Congshan on her phone QQ. She subconsciously put her hands together and silently prayed for Li Ang.
Seeming to sense something,
In the deep trenches of the Pacific Ocean, on the vast sea, and in the offshore waters of Yin City, all the brain worms stopped their work and silently chanted the name of the Lord of Flesh and Swamps, praising the greatness and benevolence of the Afflicted Father.
The countdown ended.
【Countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1】
【Entering: Lost World】
Accompanied by the system broadcast, three hundred players disappeared from their original locations.
