I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 231 Monster Siege (Part 1)

With books, life is long; without books, life is short. Feng Xue spent his twentieth day in this game world, working as a dungeon boss while researching spells.

However, his peaceful life was disrupted today, because at the very moment the sun rose, a strange voice echoed in his mind—

"The siege day is now open."

With a series of explanations that were almost identical to what the others in the Demon King's Castle had told her, Feng Xue finally became convinced that, at least regarding the siege, the others hadn't lied to her.

Of course, if someone could penetrate the four layers of mental protection of Mo Ying, Kaguya, Little Bell, and Ghidorah and send a telepathic message directly to Feng Xue, then Feng Xue would have nothing to say. They've already gone to such lengths; it's good enough if they haven't killed you. What more could you want?
After tidying up her appearance in front of the mirror, Feng Xue readjusted the [Monster X] suit, transforming Liu Yunxi into a belt with ten indentations but no transformation function.

"Ready to go?" As Feng Xue stepped out the door, she was greeted by a blue-haired mermaid floating in mid-air, who waved and greeted her. Feng Xue nodded and said:
Yes, are you coming along?

"No, I need to go check out the coastline." The ocean diva named Melo gave an apologetic look. Feng Xue wasn't surprised and headed towards the border city as planned.

The moment he left the Demon King's castle, a strange feeling resurfaced. At that moment, he suddenly discovered that he actually had the ability to control demons.

"I see. So this ability is acquired after participating in a siege?"

As Feng Xue pondered this, she activated her Qi Observation Technique to confirm whether she was being monitored, and simultaneously asked herself:

"Are the drones ready?"

"All preparations are complete. The weather is great today, the coordinates are working properly, and we can set off at any time!"

The voice of "Little Bell's Sugar Content is Too High" echoed in her mind, and Feng Xue nodded silently:
"Be careful not to get caught."

"No problem, they are all drones from a pre-civilization brought from the ocean world, and they are equipped with my code. They can be remotely controlled through a god-like descent, so there won't be any issues!"

Xiao Lingdang gave her a confident guarantee, so Feng Xue didn't say anything more.

Over the past two weeks, Feng Xue, under the guise of paying for spreading the talismans, made some small items for her nine colleagues. Strictly speaking, these items had no hidden features and were definitely practical and beautiful. However, since they were made with Feng Xue's power, they must have Feng Xue's aura on them, which made it possible for the little bell to track and locate them.

The drones, with their optical camouflage deployed, slowly ascended into the air. Feng Xue also led the monster army towards the front line. In the past twenty days, the players had developed many interesting spells. However, due to the limited number of talismans, many people even stopped using talismans when running dungeons in order to study spells.

Now that she's on the big map battlefield, Feng Xue is eager to reap the rewards!

……

On the other side, the player group had also come online. Although it was a rest day, only a few people were online to play games early in the morning. Those who were fully equipped and lined up at this time were basically professional players.

Thanks to its status as the first virtual reality game, this game has maintained a relatively strong revenue-generating ability, supporting many game guilds. Now, with the launch of the new version and the popularization of the talisman system, this game, which has been operating for many years, has ushered in a second spring. Many studios that were preparing to move to the upcoming new game have also begun to inject capital again.

"They were clearly planning to transform the game, why don't they fix this stupid siege system?!" [Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior], who had already switched to a new cultivation account, yawned and said unhappily. His inseparable companion, [Super Chicken Wu Di Baolong Showcase], casually remarked:

"Of course it's to maintain the online rate. He knows perfectly well that players can't be online all day, but he still insists on attacking the city all day long. What else could it be for? It can't be to make it easier for the Demon King to break through the defenses, can it?"

"Stop muttering, the big guild has given the signal, looks like the first wave of monsters is coming!" The research maniac tossed the talisman in his hand, a smug look on his face. The others immediately pulled out their own talismans, then, after a moment's thought, put them back in their pockets. They hadn't forgotten that this siege boss would most likely be that guy who even steals talismans in dungeons!
"Boom!"

Although the game's plot is weak, I have to say that the physics engine of this crappy game is really good. Countless different kinds of monsters rushing in from the horizon, the dust they kick up, the chaotic roars, and the tremors of the earth are all so realistic. Even after experiencing it dozens of times, I can still feel my blood pumping.

"It seems this boss is a traditional type, not planning to directly attack the main city..." Guan'er and his four teammates watched from afar, and couldn't help but recall the time when they first started playing the game and suddenly received news that Blood Sister was attacking the royal city.

But at that moment, a shout came from the public channel—

"Meteorite Team, prepare!"

At the command of the player elected by vote, about a hundred elemental mages immediately stepped forward. In addition to members of large guilds, many random players also stood at the edge of the group.

Although it seemed absurd for a group of infantrymen to stand in formation outside the city walls while defending the city, this was, after all, a game. Seeing the monster at the front already within range—a distance usually within range of a ranged archer's projectile—he didn't give the order, but instead began a slow countdown.

"five!"

"Four!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"put!"

As soon as the word "release" was uttered, although not perfectly synchronized, the lined-up mage players began chanting Meteor, a notoriously long-casting, low-damage area-of-effect skill whose only redeeming quality was its range.

However, the spell that usually requires five seconds to cast was only chanted for a little over a second this time. With the light effect of the spell being interrupted exploding, orbs of light were thrown into the sky from the hands of the mages.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar came from the sky, and small mountains fell from the sky into the horde of monsters. Almost instantly, a large number of numbers began to jump on the battle merit list.

"Thunderstorm Group, begin chanting! Holy Sword Group, prepare!"

The second group of elemental mages stepped forward to cast spells, and a row of swordsmen stood in front of them, assuming a sword-drawing stance.

"After playing so many city defense games over the years, I think this one is the most awesome!" Guan'er said with a subtle tone, watching the lightning that seemed to be destroying the world continuously falling to the ground. Baolong nodded and said:

"Yeah, back then it was just archers shooting three rounds, mages using up all their mana, and then melee fighters rushing in and hacking and slashing. It's nothing like this now! Those who didn't log in because they thought it was boring will probably regret it later!"
