Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 319 Battle for Supremacy

"Rush!"

As the hidden levels opened, the number of players suddenly surged.

The members of Team 01, who originally wanted to defend the boss, were thrown into chaos and could no longer pay attention to the other students.

"Game cartridges were also distributed to the front lines?"

Xia Chuan noticed something unusual in the new player's behavior.

For some reason, the only players in Team 01 on the Tokyo side are the 20 students he leads.

Not everyone is willing to try the new Knight system.

Comparatively speaking, spending points to redeem through the proven system on the SkyNet is undoubtedly safer.

"Player" is just a helpless choice for newcomers with no background.

But what's the deal with these people?

It looks like it came from the front lines.

Is there any particular reason for becoming a player?

Becoming a player is equivalent to starting the competition from scratch, and the safety is not much better than that of a newcomer.

If you "fail" in a dungeon, you will also lose a life.

Judging from the situation of Team 01, although they are somewhat clever and know how to let their teammates use the original Knight system to help, a game instance is still a game instance.

The external knight system is basically ineffective; all attacks will only report "miss".

He had just tried to pull a Collapse Source Entity into the Mirror World to destroy it, but the Collapse Source Entity couldn't enter the Mirror World at all, giving him no chance to exploit the bug.

Knights other than the player can only interfere.

"That's outrageous!"

New players quickly realized how tough Team 01 was.

Players who were able to enter the hidden levels generally leveled up during monster battles.

A few even reached game level 4.

However, they still had little ability to resist the members of Team 01.

Both are level 4, but the latter is the Alliance level, which is linked to the Fusion coefficient, while the former is exclusive to the game's Knights, with a maximum level of lv99, and is linked to the Knight's set strength.

It can only be said that the 01 system of the Reiwa era is inherently quite powerful, far beyond what mass-produced players can match.

Even if it cannot harm the player inside the game instance, it still prevents the opponent from breaking through to the center of the instance.

"Emiya!"

Several new trainees protected Hojo Emu, who had been knocked out of the battle, and faced with the chaotic scene at the checkpoint, they all had the idea of ​​retreating.

"There are so many high-level players, even level 4 ones. Let's just forget about it."

"Damn it, at this rate the hidden boss will reach level 10 very soon!"

"We're out of luck with this hidden level..."

"How do you know it's hopeless if you don't try?" Hojo Emu interrupted his companion with a laugh, his gaze towards the battlefield still filled with excitement. "Isn't the fun of games all about fighting opponents much stronger than you?"

An endless passion surged from Baosheng Yongmeng's heart.

His game level was only lv3, since he hadn't expected there to be hidden levels and hadn't prepared in advance.

However, his fusion coefficient is increasing dramatically.

Rank does not completely determine strength.

Just like the countless games he has challenged, the player himself is always the one who ultimately decides the outcome.

Besides, the difference is only a few levels, not to the point where it's impossible to conquer.

In situations like this, increasing the fusion coefficient is far more important than the game level.

"My fusion coefficient is 89, just a little short, my game level should be leveling up soon too..."

Emu Hojo returns to the battlefield, skillfully dodging the attacks of the Collapse Source Monster.

"Just watch, this is how I play the game!"

"This guy gets carried away as soon as he gets into the game."

The new trainees had no choice but to retreat.

As for exiting, since you've chosen to enter the hidden level, you've given up on the option to retreat.

Although there are no specific game instructions, one can more or less sense that the penalty for failing to complete the game is probably very severe.

"That's strange, where did Professor Kaminaga go? We only came in a little after him, right?"

"Every time we start the game, we get infected with the Collapse Virus," Xia Chuan said, reappearing behind everyone after deactivating his transformation. "If we can't defeat the dungeon boss in time to clear the dungeon, you might all disappear as data."

Although excessive psychological pressure could worsen his gaming addiction, he decided to tell the students the truth.

It's not too late to turn back now.

It will only get more painful as you go on.

As for gaming addiction...

He decided to complete the clearance himself.

Even if you don't know the inside story, it's not wrong to go against Team 01.

He couldn't let 01 succeed.

This team was disliked from the very beginning; it was always unclear what they were plotting.

Destruction is the way to go.

"tutor?"

Several trainees were startled. Upon seeing Xia Chuan, they all withdrew from their transformations. One of them was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he bent over in pain as a scrambled electric current spread through him.

"Well!"

"Xiaoxi?"

"What's wrong?"

"Mentor, what exactly is 'gaming addiction'?" the other students asked anxiously. "And what about the disappearance of data...?"

"This is a warning sign of an impending attack."

Xia Chuan helped the student who was unable to stand.

"The greater the stress, the faster the attack will occur, until it eventually disappears... Take him out of here first, leaving him here will only make it worse."

"disappear?"

The trainees felt immense pressure, not expecting the punishment to be so cruel. As soon as Xia Chuan finished speaking, they simultaneously exhibited symptoms of gaming addiction.

Let alone taking their companions away, they have lost the ability to protect themselves.

Xia Chuan touched his nose, silently turned and left.

Are the new trainees these days so bad at handling stress?

We can't delay any longer.

After avoiding the battlefield area, Xia Chuan picked up the "Player" Knight Card between his fingertips.

Because they are from Emu Hojo, their stats are similar, with a League Level of 3 and a Game Level of 3.

He wouldn't even glance at it if it were placed in a time-space instance.

However, it comes in handy in this game instance.

This is just a beginner level in "Chronicles," and even the boss level hasn't reached 10 yet; it's practically the very beginner level.

Xia Chuan turned his gaze to the cloaked boss who was engaged in fierce combat with Captain 01.

The Boss has reached level 5 and is gradually starting to overpower Captain 01.

Without the 01 system, this captain's performance was really not very good.

"call!"

Xia Chuan separated the levers on both sides of the camera driver, inserted the "Player" Knight Card, and pushed it back with one hand, causing the driver core to rotate and spread energy particles instantly.

Unlike 01, his own combat strength is no weaker than that of ordinary knights. He just needs a game qualification. Whether it is level 3 or level 5, it doesn't matter.

"Transform!"

"Whoosh!"

The afterimages overlapped and then solidified again, successfully transforming into the Chronicles player form. The only difference between this form and the cartridge transformation was the belt.

"Who is it?"

Captain 01 dodged the boss's attack by flipping over, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Xia Chuan's figure emerging from the forest.

Even though he was only a level 3 player and his appearance was no different from others, he felt his heart skip a beat after just one glance, and he was almost hit by the boss's attack.

"That is..."

Once again, Captain 01 turned and withdrew from the center of the battlefield. He stared intently at Natsukawa, who was walking among the Collapse Source Monsters. As the sense of familiarity grew stronger, he suddenly noticed the camera driver that Natsukawa was wearing on his waist.

He recognized this thing all too well.

Once it was silvery white, once it was pink... the first two times it was this thing.

"It's you again, Dragon Knight!"
