"Pilot, this ring has a large amount of residual Ark energy. This is the Ark's terminal station."
Bai Zhiyuan continued her sprint towards perfection. Bt sent the latest news: "Anderson's plan includes a reconnaissance mission near the center of the ring."
As soon as Bt finished speaking, a new side quest appeared on the heads-up display: [Return to Bt's Side (61m)].
"I can't play anymore."
Bai Zhiyuan whispered softly, a focused light appearing in her agile eyes.
Her feet seemed to generate wind, and the booster operated as skillfully as her third leg.
Hum~~Swoosh~~!!
Returning to the past, the glass platform appeared.
Thump—
Swoosh—
The moment she landed, the booster activated.
Hiss—
An aerial acceleration with a double jump.
The moment she landed, the previously empty platform glass suddenly emerged, followed by the sound of spatial displacement—
Hum~~Swoosh~~!!
Thump—
Swoosh—
Landing, boosting, and a second aerial acceleration.
Cycling back and forth, light and agile.
From a distance, she appeared to be leaping nimbly across the glass platforms like a dragonfly skimming water, as if the entire game level was her personal stage.
The belated security guards, looking at Bai Zhiyuan who had already reached the aerial pavilion on the opposite shore: 6!
After successfully reaching the other side, Bai Zhiyuan continued to switch between time periods in corridors filled with laser grids and seas of fire.
Clinging to the wall, she soon arrived before a vertically downward ventilation shaft.
Looking down, the ventilation shaft in the present time was a sea of fire due to the destruction of power.
Without a word, Bai Zhiyuan jumped down.
The moment she neared the sea of fire...
Hum~~Swoosh~~!!
Switching to the past, the sea of fire disappeared.
Bai Zhiyuan, who thought she could pass easily, then witnessed a shocking scene.
The sound of wind whistled past her ears. Time switched from the present to the past, and the sea of fire vanished.
But this did not mean it was safe. Instead, rapidly rotating fan blades appeared!
????
Falling, Bai Zhiyuan's mind went blank. She never expected that the sea of fire concealed a fatal trap.
She wanted to switch time periods, but it was too late.
Screeeech—!!
A sickening grinding sound echoed from within the pipe.
A moment later, the resurrected Bai Zhiyuan stood before the ventilation shaft again.
Hum~~Swoosh~~!!
The sea of fire transformed into rapidly rotating fan blades.
Hum~~Swoosh~~!!
The fan blades returned to the sea of fire.
It turned out that the ventilation shaft in the past was operating normally.
This was also a deadly trap.
What a terrifying imagination!
Analyzing the cause and effect, Bai Zhiyuan broke out in a cold sweat, her heart pounding like a drum.
How did he come up with the idea of placing time-space jumps in ventilation shafts?
Was this the limit of human imagination?
If previous games could rival "Titanfall," then after this level...
No VR game released in the same batch could compete.
"Titanfall" was destined to be legendary!
Hum~~Swoosh~~!!
Hum~~Swoosh~~!!
After switching back and forth several times,
Bai Zhiyuan's shock was immeasurable. This level pushed the concept of time-space travel to its absolute extreme!
It resonated deeply with every player who experienced it!
A unique blush spread across Bai Zhiyuan's delicate, pretty face.
This was her favorite toy!
The vertically downward ventilation shaft, whether switched to the past or the future, presented a deadly challenge.
Being shredded by fan blades, being engulfed by flames – the physical torment feedback was a uniquely enjoyable experience.
A feast!
A feast exclusively for Bai Zhiyuan!
And also the ultimate path of torment for players!
The time control for freefall in the vertical ventilation shaft was not as precise as platform jumping.
Based on Bai Zhiyuan's own experience.
If the difficulty of the preceding platform jumps transitioned from 1...2...3, then passing through the vertical ventilation shaft was an outrageous leap from 1...100.
It was a super leap in reaction time requirements, akin to transitioning from primary school to middle school versus going directly from primary school to postgraduate studies.
Extremely perverse!
If players wanted to rendezvous with Bt, this was the only passage available.
Therefore, this torment was bound to be etched into players' minds, becoming an indelible mark.
"Bring it on!"
Bai Zhiyuan shouted again and jumped down!
The moment she neared the sea of fire...
Hum~~Swoosh~~!!
Time switched, and the fan blades in the pipe spun rapidly.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
The sound of wind whistled past her ears, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The light silver pipe walls sped backward, and immense wind resistance was already felt underfoot.
"Now!"
With a fierce cry, Bai Zhiyuan pressed the switching device.
Hum~~Swoosh~~!!
Sizzzle sizzzle~~~
The sea of fire from the present time rushed towards her again!
Switch!
Bai Zhiyuan believed her timing was precise enough, yet her body was still engulfed by the flames.
Hiss!~~
After respawning, Bai Zhiyuan gasped, the pain of being shredded not yet fully subsided, and a scorching heat was added.
Her exposed skin was now covered in a light pink layer, as if she had just experienced a steam bath.
Thrilling!
Gritting her teeth, Bai Zhiyuan showed an expression of extreme enjoyment.
On the other side, however, it was not as composed. 138 Reading Network.
"Ouch... it's so hot!"
Lu Li rubbed his slightly hot skin, letting out a muffled groan.
To directly experience the VR game's feedback mechanism, he had pushed the perception feedback to its maximum, reaching 80%.
Besides his trust in Wang Lunshan, it was also due to his absolute confidence in his own skill.
Before playing the game, he was confident he could complete it in one go.
In fact, since the Pilot trials, he had indeed managed to do so.
Including the preceding platform jumping, he had passed with great ease.
He had thought that the ventilation shaft would only require a slight focus and familiarizing himself with the process to pass easily.
Who would have thought he underestimated the physics engine's millisecond-precise calculations for freefall? Acceleration, wind speed, and resistance when jumping from the vertical shaft all had to be considered.
Furthermore, although the shaft was vertically downward, when jumping, there were slight slopes, and even the friction between the body and the shaft walls had to be calculated.
It wasn't something that could be passed based on PC game experience alone; it required actual combat experience, measuring the subtle millisecond differences with one's life.
"Am I digging my own grave?"
Looking at the bottomless ventilation shaft, Lu Li was fed up. He wished he hadn't maxed out the pain feedback.
The feeling of being consumed by flames was truly unpleasant.
Although it wasn't to the extent of scalding his skin, the actual transmitted pain was quite similar.
It was important to note that even Bai Zhiyuan could only set the perception feedback to 60%.
"Damn it, continue!"
Gritting his teeth, Lu Li straightened his waist and plunged in!
Three seconds later...
"Ah!!!"
A scream erupted, more piercing than a pig being slaughtered during Chinese New Year.
It was enough to make listeners grieve and onlookers weep.
The intense pain affected Lu Li's judgment on another level beyond the torment of this stage.
He completely ignored the extent to which this ingenious design refreshed the players' and outside viewers' understanding of games.
During the time Lu Li was suffering,
The gaming community in reality had exploded!
