Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Are you guys crazy? On such an important day as the competition, you still have the nerve to arrest me? Can't you just give me a day off?!"

"A competition is a competition, and work is work!" Dunn said seriously.

"To catch you, we'd even make dumplings on the job."

"Even if you don't arrest me, you'll still be making dumplings there this year!"

Yan Huan ignored them on March 7th and silently stared at the competition list.

It seems there's still some time before it's their turn to play.

"March, Yan Huan, you've come too?"

A mature-looking older woman slowly approached.

"Hey? Natasha, long time no see!" March 7th greeted.

"It has indeed been a while since I last saw you."

Natasha smiled slightly and looked down at the dueling platform:

"To be honest, when I first heard the children at the clinic talk about this game, I thought it was just another one of their usual games of pretend..."

"But after watching the game, my thinking completely changed, and I understood why people are so captivated by it."

Natasha laughed:

"During gameplay, people can focus on improving themselves or working together with others."

“Such harmless competitors are very helpful in resolving hostility and disputes.”

After she mentioned it, March 7th remembered what had happened in Belleburg.

Yes, there are internal conflicts within Belloberg.

"Hey, isn't this our savior?" Oleg walked over and laughed.

"I watched the entire match between the Great Guardian and that kid Sambo, and it was so exciting that it got my blood pumping!"

"Besides, I heard that this game isn't just for kids... I'll have to try it out when I'm done with this, hahaha!"

Next up was Seele, who had returned to rest.

"Oh? You're already here."

Seele walked to Cocolia's table, grabbed a bottle of water, and while opening it, looked at Yan Huan and said:

"When are you guys going on stage? It's such a shame that the first match is our own people playing against each other. I was hoping to see who could put the company's morale down."

"But the fact that it was Sambo who got beaten up makes it a little bit interesting."

Upon hearing this, Sambo, who had been forced to be handcuffed to Dunn, cursed loudly:

"You bastard... I'm still right here! Even though I'm wanted... aren't you Earthfire still making deals with me?!"

“That’s called making the best use of resources,” Oleg laughed.

"If we're really going to be serious, you even went to Cripperburg."

"Then don't take it so seriously!" Sambo shouted, shaking his body and staring at his handcuffed hands.

"Tell them to get this thing off quickly, my hand is killing me!"

"Damn it, Dunn's armor is so tight, the handcuffs are practically digging into my flesh!"

"Then let's do it," Seele said calmly after taking a sip of water.

"Anyway, you're completely useless. You even steal things from tourists. Going to jail is like doing a service to the people."

"It didn't work? I didn't work?!"

Sambo argued his case logically:

"When the upper and lower levels were still sealed off, who was it...?"

"Alright." Cocolia, who had been silent all along, glanced at Sambo.

"It's the CEO and March's turn to take the stage. You should keep quiet."

While chatting with these people, the competition was also underway.

Now it's March 7th and Yan Huan's turn for their first match.

"Yan! Let's go!" March 7th shouted.

"Alright, who's the opponent? Let's take him down!"

The announcement rang out again from above the venue.

"The next round of the competition is about to begin. Contestants, please prepare yourselves—"

The two arrived at the entrance elevator.

All the way down.

"This match will feature two pioneers from the Star Train against—"

"Gui Naifen from the Celestial Ship—!!"

"Um?!"

The two slowly walked towards the dueling platform.

At this moment, Gui Naifen was already standing here waiting for them.

Small robots flying in the sky transmitted live footage of the scene to various parts of the universe.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a live broadcast.

Gui Naifen cupped her hands in greeting to the robots' cameras and said:

"This young lady is new to your esteemed land, so I'll show off my skills and perform for you—a few coins won't be too much, but a thousand gold coins would be a generous gesture to show my loyalty!"

"Wow, we've never seen anything like this before! Isn't this much more impressive than that little square in Changletian?"

As Gui Naifen sighed, Yan Huan and San Yueqi had already walked up to her.

"Oh, we meet again! I never expected you two to be my rivals!" Gui Naifen said with a smile.

Yan said solemnly:

"Enough with the small talk, let's have a thrilling match!"

Both sides summoned their own fifteen Aether Spirits and launched three waves of attacks.

The battle is about to break out!

"Hey? You guys are going too far!"

Gui Naifen stretched out her slender hand, pointed to the five self-destructing ethereal spirits standing opposite her, and exclaimed in surprise:

"This thing is basically giving me a free kill!"

Aside from its basic attack, the only purpose of the self-destructing robot is to sacrifice itself in a spectacular self-destruction.

Its ultimate move, self-destruction, requires very little energy, and its combat skills can also accelerate the self-destruction speed, so it is often used by players as a discarded piece in certain tactics.

Clearly, Yan Huan and March 70 planned to sacrifice five positions in exchange for a rapid decrease in Gui Naifen's team's health.

"You guys better think this through. These little robots are pretty fragile. Even if you're lucky enough to successfully detonate a few, it would be a miracle if they even got me to half health."

Chapter 436 Calculating Human Combat Skill Points

"Let's finish this quickly," March 7th said with a faint smile.

Immediately afterwards, Gui Naifen stared longingly at the Ether Spirit behind her.

Behind those five self-destructing robots were two more self-destructing robots, two speed-boosting Ethers, and one Deep Freeze Wanderer, also known as Ice Fat.

In this version, the top performer in terms of damage output is the Ice Giant after it has fully charged up.

Many players will use it as the core of their team composition, and the standard setup is basically a chip that restores energy upon killing an enemy with a powerful ultimate skill.

Defeating an enemy with your ultimate skill will restore all your energy! Unleash your ultimate skill again!

Therefore, once the power is fully charged, a single ultimate move can take down any enemy, followed by a continuous barrage of terrifying firepower.

Next up were Juju Blast, two other healing Aether Spirits, and... Swallow and Kafka.

"Um?!"

In the audience, a girl with silver hair in a ponytail looked puzzled.

"Oh... no wonder I didn't receive this card in my email."

Silver Wolf stared at Kafka's Ether Spirit on the stage, and said unhappily:

"So it ended up in this guy's hands!"

Originally, Silver Wolf intended to use that card for himself, but Yan beat him to it.

"How could anyone happen to draw this card?!"

After infiltrating the backstage of the Etherfront, Silver Wolf left a backdoor. She couldn't completely reduce the card's drop rate to zero, so she did her best to adjust it to 0.000000001%.

If no one draws this card within a day of the version update, it will be automatically sent to Silver Wolf's mailbox.

Surprisingly, some beast actually pulled it out!

"Awoooo ...

"Awesome! I didn't expect the executive officer to have two red cards!!"

"Destroy human tyranny, the world belongs to the Ether Spirit!"

Amid cheers from the audience, Gui Naifen and the train duo began a fierce battle.

First, Gui Naifen tried her best to stop the detonation of five robots, but in the end, two of them were detonated anyway.

Two self-destructing robots successfully took away Gui Naifen's first team's healing position.

But when she faced the train crew's second wave of attacks, she immediately realized the predicament.

For no other reason than that I'm out of combat skill points!
