The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 615 I'll Blow Myself Up! Xu Meng's Hidden Ultimate Move! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The whole world is waiting for the response to our dream.

But no one expected that after waiting and waiting, they would receive such an unreliable announcement!
Mael, Niiiko, Karn... players who kept refreshing the Dream Building account homepage—as well as media from all over the world—were all dumbfounded.

What does "I'm running away first, you guys good luck" mean?
Isn't this the mess you guys made of??

However, Zhumeng quickly gave a second response—

The official live stream for Dream Building quietly began.

Players from all over the world rushed into the live stream, demanding an explanation.

But before they could even post their comments, they were caught off guard again by the live stream footage—

The screen directly displays the backend of the official [Dream Building Games] account.

The next second, the camera zoomed out, and everyone saw that it was a Dream Building employee whose name tag read "[Social Media Operations Specialist]".

At that moment, the employee, looking flustered, threw down his keyboard and mouse, hurriedly got up from his workstation, and rushed to the window to look outside.

The scenery outside the window thus enters the picture—

Outside the window of the Dream Building Games headquarters, a massive spaceship is slowly descending.

As the base camp for realizing dreams and the place with the richest computing resources, Ningzhou receives treatment that is incomparable to other cities.

The first wave of attacks had already begun while the spaceship was still in the air.

It wasn't just a simple high-energy laser beam, but hundreds or even thousands of small flying vehicles that flew out of the main body of the spacecraft, swarming down like bees, launching a storm of attacks on the people and buildings on the ground!

And all attacks can receive highly accurate feedback:

A blue laser beam struck the billboard, instantly melting a large hole in the metal. Bright yellow liquid metal dripped slowly, and scorched grass emitted blue smoke.

Kinetic weapons rained down bullets, spurting blood from pedestrians in the park, sending them flying and leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

The bomb dropped from the sky exploded.

Instead of flames, what appeared was icy frost!
The splashing ice particles hit the shuttle bus on the side of the road, shattering the windows instantly and causing the tires to burst and leak air with a hissing sound.

The unfortunate passerby was frozen inside the icicle, the look of horror still etched on their face...

……

The sheer number of details left netizens around the world breathless.

The barrage of comments also surged:
"Alright, alright, no wonder the announcement started spouting nonsense halfway through; turns out he's in deep trouble himself, hahaha!"

"But wait a minute...isn't this scale too big, too exaggerated?!"

"It's biased! Zhuzhu is so biased! This cost is way ahead of other cities!"

"I used to mock the people of Izumo, saying that Tokyo didn't have any spaceships, but now it seems that Xu Meng was just making excuses for us!"

"Wait, did that gunshot-stricken body twitch when it was stepped on? Was it a real person?"

"What's real and what's fake?"

"The employees of Zhumeng are all running for their lives, are you serious?!"

……

The employees of Zhumeng did indeed start fleeing for their lives.

The social media operations specialist had already turned away from the window and headed straight for the elevator.

After anxiously pressing the door open button more than a dozen times, he became so anxious that he couldn't wait any longer, so he turned around and rushed to the stairs, running downstairs.

His eagerness was not only written on his face, but also fully reflected in his actions—he would rush down a flight of stairs every two or three steps, almost like a parkour performer, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the company's first-floor lobby.

The hall was in complete chaos.

A4 sheets of paper were scattered all over the floor, the front desk was empty, and the phone kept ringing but no one answered it.

No one stopped to say hello; everyone looked anxious and hurriedly rushed out of the company, clutching their belongings.

This social media operations specialist was the same; he just kept his head down and rushed out.

But the moment he rushed out of the company gate, a bright blue high-energy laser descended from the sky, easily piercing through the entire building.

From the rooftop to the lobby on the first floor, a deep blue light illuminated everything from the inside out.

—At that moment, netizens with good eyesight could even see two figures, one large and one small, appearing in the window of an office on the sixth floor.

That was a little Easter egg that Xu Meng deliberately left behind.

The next second, the entire office building collapsed and disintegrated, collapsing into the blue pillar of light inside.

Then, just as it was halfway collapsed, it suddenly exploded!

The unlucky fellow who had just run to the door was instantly set ablaze and exploded into ashes in a blue flame.

The valiant sniper living next to Jinghu Holographic Park started a live stream five minutes ago.

Standing on the balcony now, looking at the Dream Building headquarters that was blasted into gray by the blue light, I was completely dumbfounded!

He could hardly believe his eyes!

Not only him, but also the hundreds of thousands of viewers in his live stream were questioning their own eyes.

"The headquarters of Dream Building...was blown up by aliens?"

"As expected of Zhumeng, as expected of Xumeng!!"

"So they've already accepted that they're the landmark building of Ningzhou?"

"That's really impressive, but what's next?"

……

Everyone thought that Zhu Meng was making such a big fuss because he was going to be a hero and step up to turn the tide.

This kind of pretentious behavior is very much like something Xu Meng would do.

But who would have thought that they would blow themselves up right away?

And it was blown up so thoroughly!

The original site of the Dream Building headquarters has now been razed to the ground, and even the foundation can no longer be seen.

The entire staff of Zhumeng were wiped out on the spot!
Those who had run out the door beforehand were also caught in the blast and burned to ashes in front of everyone.

"What... what's next?"

The valiant sniper stared blankly as the alien warplanes, which blotted out the sky, wreaked havoc in the distance.

They even dropped a large number of landing pods, releasing swarms of aliens with pointed ears.

They carried weapons that could fire freezing lasers and indiscriminately attacked the crowds on the ground.

Caught off guard, a large number of the scattered tourists and players were killed on the spot.

Even those watching from afar weren't spared—

The valiant sniper had barely finished speaking when he saw an alien warplane hurtling towards him!
"Huh? No way?" the valiant sniper exclaimed in shock. "I'm in a role too?"

The shock lasted only a moment.

The next second, he grabbed the holographic belt and swung it around his waist, locking it in place with a "click".

The moment it was activated, the dragon soul was summoned to block the way.

The fully-leveled Dragon Flame and the alien fighter's laser collided, causing a violent explosion.

The valiant sniper peered out from his balcony and looked around, discovering that the entire residential area, facing Jinghu Park, was under alien attack.

And this community truly lives up to its reputation as one of the three closest to Zhumeng.

The moment the attack came, dragon souls leaped out of the windows.

On several balconies, hot women were seen raising large shields to defend against fighter jet attacks.

The valiant sniper knew very well that a large percentage of players were in his neighborhood.

But how "high" is it really? I don't really have a concept of it.

Only now, looking at those dragon souls and those virtual characters, did he gain a concrete understanding of this concept for the first time—

What's the big deal...?

This whole neighborhood is full of gamers!

Looking down, I saw a large group of muscular men in armor rushing out of the residential area and heading straight for Jinghu Park to fight the aliens!
"This..." The valiant sniper was astonished.

But he quickly gave up thinking, grabbed his phone and ran: "Never mind, I'm going to fight too!"

"Protecting the Earth is everyone's responsibility!"

How could a brave sniper, who is both a player and a streamer, possibly miss such a large-scale offline event?
He excitedly joined his neighbors and fellow players, rushing towards Jinghu Park to participate in the battle to save Ningzhou.

The viewers in the live stream were incredibly envious, regretting that they didn't live in Ningzhou and couldn't make it to the scene.

Other cities, though lacking Ningzhou's advantages in computing power, hardware, and player numbers, have also begun their counterattack.

Paris, New York, London, Sydney, Hong Kong...

As the pre-arranged plot unfolded, all sorts of fighter jets and bombers appeared, unleashing their firepower upon the massive alien warship.

The surface-to-air missile rose into the air, leaving a dense, net-like contrail in the sky, before exploding upon impact with the spacecraft.

The views from cities at night are even more spectacular—

A continuous stream of fireballs streaked across the night sky, exploding into bright sparks in the air.

Such a dense missile bombardment is rare even in war.

But now, through extremely realistic holographic images, Dream Building instantly brings the flames and smoke of war to the world's most developed cities!
—And not just in the air.

Xu Meng has really gone all out this time.

Not only were thousands of drones sent to these cities, but each city also mobilized at least 300 vehicles to carry holographic devices and speakers through the streets, creating an extremely exciting atmosphere.

Passersby could not see the car or the holographic device; they could only see a long line of bombs falling from the sky, starting from the end of the road and exploding all the way toward them with a "boom"!
Even after the announcement, the governments of these cities took action, explaining to citizens via text message, news, and social networks that it was a holographic image and an advertisement from a game company.

The apocalyptic war scene still made everyone who witnessed it shudder and lose their composure.

Seeing that the explosion was about to hit them, they all turned and ran!

Those who knew were already panicked, but those who didn't know—those who didn't see the notice, or those who saw it but didn't understand it—experienced firsthand the terror of the impending apocalypse.

On the streets of London, Karn watched helplessly as a man in his fifties fled in terror, only to be struck by a laser beam and instantly charred to death.

He reached out uncertainly, but only touched air.

Karn then realized: this was actually a "virtual victim" created by Zhu Meng to create an atmosphere!
"Hahaha." Karn couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought about how Xu Meng had gone to such lengths to create such a scary scene.

"You...you, you! People are dead, and you can still laugh?!"

A terrified voice rang out behind Karn.

Karn turned around and saw a disheveled, terrified man.

Faced with the accusations, Karn calmly asked, "Are you a real person?"

The man's face grew even more terrified and uneasy. "What...what are you saying? I don't understand?"

Karn sighed, "Looks like it's a real person."

Just as I was about to explain, a plan suddenly came to mind.

He changed to a serious tone and said, "Commoners?"

"Get out of here as soon as possible. The MI6 special operations team has joined the battle. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave at all."

The man blinked, trying to understand what he was saying.

But the next second, he gave up trying to understand—

Behind Karn, a ferocious dragon slowly emerged, letting out a wild roar towards the sky.

Dragon flames erupted, illuminating the god-like and demonic Karn below.

The man instantly abandoned all thought, turned and ran without a word! He didn't even bother to pick up his shoe as it flew off, and disappeared from Karn's sight in the blink of an eye.

"Hahaha." Karn laughed out loud in a very immoral way.

……

At the same time, in these attacked cities, players who bought the holographic belt were almost all doing similar things.

Their vanity was greatly satisfied, and they all exclaimed that the belt was a worthwhile purchase!
……

……

The live stream of Zhu Meng is no longer limited to Jinghu Park in Ningzhou, but has begun to jump between different cities, broadcasting the battle situation in different cities to players all over the world.

When players are seen at the scene, several cameras are used to capture them.

In reality, the plot development has already been set, so it doesn't really matter whether players appear or not.

Moreover, if you take such actions in a big city, you have to consider the impact, and it can't last too long—you have to end the whole thing before the chaos escalates.

Therefore, after the city launched a large-scale counterattack, the third phase quickly followed.

This stage is called—

[come down]--
Paris.

Mael witnessed the massive warship finally explode violently inside after being subjected to eight minutes of relentless bombardment.

The entire spacecraft lost its attitude and slowly tilted and descended.

It eventually fell gently into Ares Park.

The toy-like Eiffel Tower, however, stood firm, acting as a pillar to support one corner of the spaceship and keep the hull in its tilted state.

new York.

Niiiko watched as a violent explosion tore the spaceship apart from the inside, breaking it in two in mid-air.

Two pieces of wreckage, one on the left and one on the right, crashed heavily into Central Park below.

Trees broke, and waves of earth rolled.

Sydney.

The spacecraft crashed into the Parramatta River, and towering waves surged toward the shore.

……

London……

Hongkong……

Rio de Janeiro...

Above each city, spaceships, each with its own unique posture, descended in accordance with the terrain.

Even after the fall, when it's framed alongside famous local landmarks, it still exudes a powerful presence and has a strong visual impact!

As for the most bustling Ningzhou...

The live stream suddenly jumped to space, where a ring-shaped space station was silently floating in geosynchronous orbit.

After a brief panoramic view, the camera quickly zooms in on a "big box" that is almost as wide as the circular space station.

Before the audience could ask any questions, the "big box" slowly unfolded.

During this process, exciting background music suddenly started playing!

This treatment has generated immense anticipation among viewers:
"It's a secret weapon! I knew it, Dream Building would definitely give its headquarters special treatment!"

"What is it? A space-based weapon? The Rod of God?"

"That thing is unreliable. We might as well drop a nuclear bomb from space."

"Come on, Mr. Xu, anything is fine! I'm mentally prepared!"

……

Amidst great anticipation, the "box" that had been obscuring the view was finally fully unfolded.

A towering, imposing humanoid mech suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes!
After a panoramic shot, the image suddenly lunges forward and crashes into the mech's head.

Xu Meng, who had been absent from the entire live broadcast, finally appeared before everyone!

He wore black and gold armor, with thick nerve cables connecting his spine, and stared resolutely at the camera, delivering his lines:

"[Zhenyue] is ready!"

"12 seconds left on the countdown, I'm going to take over the battlefield!"
