People in Yu-Gi-Oh! The hyper-converged audience is also integrated

Chapter 449 Onion, I drew an onion.

"Fun?" Tang Xin became interested.

She doesn't care about the progress of the game, but if it's fun, then it's a different story.

As an author, my favorite thing is to bring joy to readers through my books.

Then, when they are happiest, take advantage of their unpreparedness and stab them in the back.

She felt a little smug whenever she thought of the bewildered and pained expressions on her readers' faces.

"It's more than just funny, it's like the mother of all funny things has opened the door to more funny things, it's hilarious to the extreme!" Le Tong laughed so hard she was shaking, and quickly turned the screen away, "You can search for this streamer, he's called 'Invincible Wind and Fire Wheel'. He just entered the stronghold, and before he even found his teammates, he was wiped out by seventeen unknown AOE attacks. Before he died, he was still yelling something like 'You seventeen cards can kill me instantly'?"

"And this one is even worse!" Le Tong swiped her finger to switch to another perspective. "A full squad, they just went in and got hit by a bomb, and everyone was at half health."

"I just stood up and said, 'Who fired the [United Chestnut Cannon]?' The next second, the second round of bombardment came down, and it even had a golden halo, hahaha. The streamer was dumbfounded and then nothing happened. The live stream went black."

"Oh no, I can't take it anymore. My period is going to burst out laughing." Letong laughed so hard she pounded the table.

"Hahaha," Tang Xin laughed along, "Who would do something so ruthless?"

"So happy?" Mickey, with a sour face, approached Letong.

Le Tong, unusually, didn't show any disgust towards him and directly handed him a data cable, sharing the view: "I guarantee you'll laugh like a pig."

Once Mickey connected, the first-person perspective of the recorded footage immediately flooded my mind.

That was a somewhat famous streamer named Xixi, who was bragging to the viewers that she was going to show them what high-level skills and how to mow down enemies like an unparalleled mow.

"Hehe, hehe, it's another beautiful day today."

She strode confidently into the Flowing Shadow Plank Road stronghold. The next second, a dazzling golden halo lit up the sky, covering an extremely large area and enveloping the entire stronghold.

"I—super! What the heck…"

Before the word "Xi" could even be uttered, devastating lasers flew in from all directions, striking relentlessly with nowhere to hide. Popular streamer Xixi, no longer giggling, started spouting traditional Chinese culture while being attacked.

The scene changes, and Letong switches to a panoramic spectator view.

The stronghold where demons once roamed freely is gone, leaving only a vast expanse of terrifying craters, densely packed with black smoke, and a dozen or so people who miraculously survived.

Letong zoomed in, showing the team's D and score, which appeared to be complete.

[The Son-in-Law of Baiyin City]

Current score: 180324

Letong and Mickey simultaneously opened their mouths wide: "10...180,000 points?!"

Tang Xin hadn't watched the replay, but she was stunned when she heard the number.

180,000 points sounds outrageous.

However, the world is so big, there are talented people everywhere.

After finishing reading and laughing, Tang Xin looked away and sat back down in her writing chair.

She opened the author's backend and looked at the comments urging her to update her newly updated chapter, such as "visiting the grave," "the dead come back to life," and "blades." The corners of her mouth unconsciously curved up.

I never expected that her book, "The Upside-Down Underworld," would still have readers.

Just as she was preparing to devise a "surprise" for the readers in the next chapter, her gaze inadvertently fell on Qiqi, who was not far away.

The girl was resting her chin on her hands, gazing at the sky with a somewhat vacant look in her eyes, her thoughts seemingly wandering elsewhere.

The noise around her had nothing to do with her.

Tang Xin was somewhat lost in thought.

Qiqi has a very special quality about her.

Her cuteness wasn't the kind that was deliberately cute or that came from being petite; rather, it was a pure, unconscious kind of dazedness.

Sitting there quietly was really hard to bear; she really wanted to go over and secretly poke her cheek gently with her hand.

She couldn't even imagine how fun it would be!
Once the thought arose, Tang Xin's gaze was drawn to it as if by a magnet, drawn back only to be irresistibly turned back again, going back and forth several times.

I really want to go over and say a few words.

But they don't seem to be very familiar with each other.

They weren't originally in the same group. She got to know Letong better because of Elvira's mission, but her interactions with Qiqi were limited to the time in Grantia.

At that time, she was in the audience, watching this girl from afar. The girl, with her Tears of Elegy deck, couldn't even get to her turn once. In the end, she managed to kill the arrogant Pope by overwhelming the graveyard.

That scene remains vivid in my memory to this day.

"Phew..." Tang Xin secretly encouraged herself and finally made up her mind to stand up from the chair.

Social terrorists, strike today!

However, as soon as she moved, Qiqi stood up first.

Tang Xin froze on the spot, her prepared opening remarks stuck in her throat, unsure of what to do with her hands and feet, and a flush rose to her face.

She opened her mouth, squeezing out two dry syllables: "Qiqi... Qi..."

He was as embarrassed as a primary school student giving a speech on stage for the first time.

Qiqi turned her head, her clear eyes looking at her, then glancing at Letong and Mickey who were still reminiscing about the recording.

"Wounded soldiers are on their way."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally firm: "Be prepared for rescue."

Letong and Mickey were both taken aback and subconsciously followed Qiqi's gaze to look into the distance. Apart from the guard robots patrolling the edge of the mobile base, there was nothing there.

"No way..." Tang Xin was about to ask when a shadow on the edge suddenly seemed to come alive, silently twisting and deepening.

Immediately afterwards, two staggering figures emerged from the thick darkness. Their dark ANBU uniforms were torn and soaked with blood. They were supporting each other as they struggled to move toward the mobile base.

"Quick!" Tang Xin reacted the fastest, immediately getting up to greet them.

Letong and Mickey followed closely behind.

"I'll go call Li Guanqi." Yue Tong turned around and went to find Li Guanqi.

"Wait a minute!" Tang Xin grabbed her arm.

Her gaze swept across the crowd and landed not far away, where she saw Li Guanqi wearing a genuine smile on his face, relaxed and pure, the kind of carefree expression that comes from shedding all burdens.

Looking at that smiling face, Tang Xin felt a pang of pity.

“This is a small matter; the four of us can handle it,” she said softly.

"Let the myna bird... play a little longer."

Le Tong followed her gaze and saw the scene as well. She paused for a moment, then nodded knowingly.

The four of them acted quickly.

Mickey still had a silly look on his face, but he moved quickly, taking tools out of the medical kit to help Letong.

Qiqi knelt beside an injured person, her little hands holding medical scissors, carefully cutting away the fabric stuck to the wound.

Tang Xin gently cleaned the wound of another person.

After a flurry of frantic bandaging, the conditions of the two wounded soldiers finally stabilized.

Looking at their wounds, which weren't fatal, Yue Tong couldn't suppress her gossipy nature and asked curiously, "Where did you go? How did you get like this?"

One of the wounded leaned against the support, took a breath, and said with a wry smile, "Don't even mention it. The fighting on the Flowing Shadow Plank Road was fierce, with all sorts of magical card spiritual impacts. Our team was affected the most."

Qiqi, who had been silent all along, suddenly looked up and asked softly, "Were there any casualties?"

"Most of them were minor injuries, with a few serious ones, but no one died."

"No one died?" Yue Tong asked doubtfully. "That's not right. Wasn't the Flowing Shadow Plank Road a bloodbath? That laser cannon was sweeping around randomly, tsk tsk tsk, a bunch of people died."

“Yeah, right.” Mickey added coolly, “That one called ‘Invincible Wind and Fire Wheel’ is hilarious.”

"..." The two wounded members of the secret service were completely confused and looked at each other blankly.

"What are you talking about? We're using the safe passage. The Dream Collapse Realm has a safety agreement, and there are defensive barriers along the way to ensure the safety of all visitors. How could anyone possibly die?"

"No one has died," another wounded soldier confirmed.

The two sides were completely on different wavelengths. Just then, Qiqi pointed at Letong and the other girl and spoke up again to explain.

"Those two are talking about the Flowing Shadow Walkway in the Metaverse." These words were like a wake-up call.

Letong, Mickey, and the two injured people suddenly realized what was going on.

"So it's a virtual battlefield..."

At this moment, Tang Xin looked at Qi Qi in surprise, her heart pounding.

Amazing!
Just now, he was resting his chin on his hand, gazing at the sky, looking adorably lost in thought.

But she not only noticed the wounded that they hadn't seen, she also remembered every word of the casual conversation she had with Letong and Mickey, and immediately understood the situation.

Just as Tang Xin was shocked by her discovery, she heard Qi Qi's soft and calm voice again.

"There is still one."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xin instinctively tensed up and scanned her surroundings.

She really kept her eyes on Qiqi the whole time. The girl didn't move or receive any communications; she was just asking for help from the injured.

Did you figure it out from listening?
Sure enough, a short while later, another figure staggered in from another entrance at the edge of the mobile base.

It wasn't the uniform of the Dark Division; it belonged to a new recruit from the Sixth Group of the Fifth Division.

And it was a familiar face.

"Wan Yin?!" Tang Xin recognized the face covered in soot and quickly raised her hand to call out, "Over here!"

Hearing the shouts, the girl on the other side looked up sharply. When she saw Tang Xin, her eyes lit up, as if she had been lost for a long time and had finally found her people.

"Tang Xin!" Yu Wanyin jogged over, plopped down, and grimaced as she examined the burns on her arm.

Tang Xin, now acting as a makeshift nurse, skillfully produced ointment and bandages: "Did your administrative team also go to join the fun? How did it get like this?"

"Don't even mention it!" Yu Wanyin got angry just thinking about it, and she imitated Yu Wancha's tone vividly.

"We're already here!"

"Let's aim for first place while we're at it."

She rolled her eyes and complained irritably, "Are all men this competitive?!"

Tang Xin chuckled, paused in her hand movements, and subconsciously glanced at Li Guanqi not far away.

A slight smile played on her lips.

Mynahs are the most reassuring, steady and reliable birds that never wander off.

At the same time, in the metaverse, at the Flowing Shadow Walkway base.

"go ahead!"

Li Guanqi was full of vigor, pointing his long sword forward with a confident and imposing air.

"Aiming for the championship!"

"Forward—!" Ariana was overcome with passion and instinctively wanted to shout along, but as soon as she uttered a syllable, she noticed that the palace master, Arias, and Ariana beside her were not reacting, so she quickly swallowed the rest of her words.

so close!

I almost mistook this son-in-law for the palace master again!
After he saved her once, she seemed to unconsciously always regard him as her pillar of support.

His Highness the Palace Master hasn't even spoken yet, why should I shout along with him!
"Hmm," the Palace Mistress of Silver City didn't notice this little incident. She was staring at the three-dimensional map in front of her, her brows furrowed in worry.

The map for this collaboration event is too complicated.

More than a hundred strongholds are intertwined like a honeycomb, including not only areas on the ground but also areas deep underground and islands suspended in mid-air, forming a huge three-dimensional maze.

Different routes mean different rules for outposts. She wanted to choose the one that would be most advantageous to her team, but looking at the dense network of connecting lines, she was at a loss for what to do.

She turned around and looked at the leisurely man next to her.

"What do you think?"

Hearing the sound, Li Guanqi walked over, glanced at the map casually, and then lightly tapped one of the glowing nodes with the tip of his sword.

"Let's choose this one and go to the second floor."

"The second layer?" Arias asked, puzzled. "The event description didn't mention any layers, did it? It only mentioned the outermost layer and the core layer at the finish line."

"They didn't say, but that's what it looks like."

Li Guanqi became interested and used his sword as a pen to draw circles directly on the semi-transparent map.

As he drew, he explained, "Look, this outermost ring of 64 strongholds is the first layer. Moving inwards, these 32 are the second layer. And further in, these 16 are the third layer..."

"If you're willing to peel back the layers of my heart, one by one."

He hummed the melody of a song, his wrists flying, and soon he used light traces to outline several concentric circles of different sizes on the complex 3D map.

"Okay, now it's clear."

He sheathed his longsword with satisfaction.

The four members of Silver City looked at the map he had drawn, which was messy but also much clearer. Each of them tilted their heads to one side, their eyes filled with confusion.

Ariana couldn't help but ask, "What are you drawing...?"

Li Guanqi turned his head and answered with a matter-of-fact and serious expression.

"onion."

"I drew an onion."

Silver City Palace Master: "..."

Arias: "..."

Ariana: "..."

Ariana: "..."

Four people, eight eyes, staring intently at him.

For a moment, they really wanted to hit someone.

But damn it, during the event, teammates are immune to damage.

While other teams were still speeding up map development, he was drawing onions!
"Palace Master," Arias said softly, unsure of what to say.

The Palace Master of Silver City raised his hand and rubbed his temples, his tightly furrowed brows revealing exhaustion: "Let's listen to him."

Admittedly, despite its abstract nature, this map is actually quite easy to understand.

“We don’t have any intelligence from the other outposts either, so it doesn’t really matter which one we go to. We’re already here, so let’s just leave it to fate.” Li Guanqi sheathed his longsword and enthusiastically led the way toward the exit he had chosen.

"Plans have changed, now we're aiming for the championship!"

The four followed silently, their expressions varied, but their steps were surprisingly synchronized.

Passing through the exit of the Flowing Shadow Walkway, there is a twisting and rotating gate of light.

Stepping inside, the surrounding scenery transforms into countless rapidly flowing waterfalls of data, and the feeling of weightlessness vanishes in an instant.

My eyes suddenly opened up.

This is a long and quiet corridor, with no sky overhead, only a simulated deep night sky with a waning moon hanging above.

On both sides of the corridor are bottomless abysses, with only white lanterns emitting a cold light, floating in the air like will-o'-the-wisps. The will-o'-the-wisps are marked with numbers, mostly below 200, such as 034014154118.

At the entrance to the corridor, an ancient archway stands quietly.

Above the archway, four large characters are engraved in some ancient script: Shuoye Corridor.

Li Guanqi remained in a good mood, his steps light and quick, until he saw the numbers on the door. Those were the most taboo yet most sacred numbers in Biantana.

The Palace Master of Silver City noticed something was wrong with him and looked in the direction of his gaze.

Beneath the archway, a clear number floats silently.

204.

In the year 204 of the New Spiritual Calendar, the Divine Will Explosion occurred, and human civilization restarted.

According to 0748 (Dr. Li's) investigation, it was also in this year that the top of the Divine Star Tree emitted high-energy nitrogen, locking the world into a cage.
