Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 320 Player Driver

"Bang--!"

Xia Chuan raised his hand and grabbed the exclusive weapon for players of "Chronicles". After locking the longsword mode, he swept away the pile of ordinary Collapse Source monsters in front of him with bursts of flames.

As the player's basic weapon, it is entirely silver-gray, but it seems to be able to improve its functions based on the user's data.

A bronze-yellow energy bar extends and spreads from the middle, immediately shedding the low-grade feel of mass-produced knights. Combined with the exclusive camera driver, it directly attracts the attention of all players.

Although he only used a level 3 knight card, it did not prevent Xia Chuan from displaying combat power exceeding level 5.

The game level is even more unpredictable, comparable to an unknown level X.

In this level of knight system, the fusion coefficient is far more important than the data itself.

"Are you kidding me? Is this guy really level 3?"

The frontline players who were blocked by Team 01 stopped fighting one after another, and the members of Team 01 quickly returned to their captain's side, their legs and feet trembling slightly.

It is true that the captain was attacked twice, but the second attack was primarily aimed at them.

"Is it really that dragon rider?"

"I knew Corporation X wasn't that kind!"

"They're basically using us as a test!"

"Captain, let's retreat first..."

"etc!"

Captain 01 suddenly shuddered, his gaze flickering as he looked at Xia Chuan.

Although Xia Chuan's stance is equally powerful, the threat he poses is far less than that of the Dragon Knight.

No matter how powerful the Knight system is, once you become a player, you must follow the game rules.

He has now reached level 5.

If you want to defeat "Dragon Rider", now is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

Captain 01 glanced at the frontline players who had just been his competitors.

"Everyone, if we can eliminate this player, our Team 01 is willing to forgo the first clear of the dungeon, as long as we get the hidden item!"

"That's easy for you to say. Do you think we don't know anything?" someone said irritably. "The clearance certificate is indeed very important, as it's related to the final dungeon challenge, but to successfully pass all the levels, we must use hidden items!"

"That's right. It's said that hidden items are also key to curing game addiction, and their value outside is more important than the completion certificate..."

"That's only if you can actually get your hands on it!"

Captain 01 glanced around at everyone and took the lead in blocking Xia Chuan's path. The frontline players on the side remained silent for a moment before making their own choices.

Compared to Captain 01, who needs teammates to disrupt things, Xia Chuan, who is alone, is clearly more difficult to deal with.

It's best to rule out this feeling of disrupting the balance for now.

"A special player?"

Emu Hosho also stopped and looked curiously at Natsukawa, who was suddenly surrounded by all the players.

Having played this game since childhood, this was the first time he had ever seen a player become a public enemy.

They're even ignoring the dungeon bosses that are still leveling up.

Just a moment ago, these two groups were still fighting.

"Hey, this is so unfair!" Hojo Emu leaped into the center of the crowd, his longsword pointed directly at the players. "What's the point of playing this game?"

"What's it to you?"

The players on the front lines looked at Team 01 with confusion.

"Where did this guy come from?"

If you treat a dungeon like a game, you're probably a little crazy.

What game is truly life-threatening?

"It's those new brats from school," Captain 01 scoffed, stepping forward. "Get out of the way! This isn't a place for you!"

"That's not something you can decide!"

Hojo Emu wasn't scared at all; instead, he became even more excited. Under Natsukawa's watchful gaze, his stats kept rising, and he broke through to level 4 in an instant, with his fusion coefficient exceeding 90.

Although he was playing the game, his combat strength was by no means weak, and he didn't seem like a newbie at all.

"Bang!"

Before Natsukawa could make a move, Emu Hojo took the lead in confronting the 01 group. Even after completing the upgrade, the stats continued to increase.

"That kid!"

Captain 01 was greatly alarmed.

I hadn't noticed it just now, but Hojo Emu is about to catch up with his level.

No, we've already caught up!

When Emu Hojo reached level 5, Captain 01's mood sank completely.

Where did this little monster come from?

He, a knight on the leaderboard, was easily overtaken.

So what if you're growing fast? Do you think you can take on "Dragon Riders" all by yourself?

Do you even know what you're doing?

Captain 01 turned his gaze to the other side, attacking the frontline players towards Xia Chuan, and angrily forced back Hosho Emu.

"Stop! You have no idea how terrifying that guy is! If we don't eliminate him first, none of us will have a chance to clear the game! And none of us will have a chance to get the real Game Knight System!"

"A true game knight?"

When Emu Hojo slowed his attack, he turned around and saw all the frontline players screaming and being thrown into the air, instantly losing their fighting ability.

A figure moved at high speed, appearing and disappearing in front of the floating players.

"What?"

"Ugh!"

The frontline players had only charged halfway when they were sent flying backwards like dumplings being dropped into a pot, tumbling and emitting cries of pain, causing all the members of Team 01 to shudder in response.

The "Dragon Knight's" combat power seems to have been completely unaffected.

The threat has indeed decreased significantly, but it makes no difference to them.

"Walk!"

Captain 01 swallowed hard, finally unable to resist leading his team out of the battle and into the portal to exit the hidden level.

We can figure out how to get hidden items later; there's no need to keep getting beaten up.

Furthermore, the information about the hidden items came from Foundation X, so its authenticity is now highly questionable.

"call!"

The players on the front lines also retreated at lightning speed.

Soon only Natsukawa and Hojo Emu remained on the scene, and even the dungeon boss, who had already reached level 10, seemed to have little presence.

Having lost all its minions, the dungeon boss became extremely agitated and jumped off the platform, charging towards Xia Chuan and his companion.

"You're not bad, hahaha! But too bad, I've already reached level 10..."

"Sizzle!"

A sealing barrier caught the laughing dungeon boss in mid-air, causing the damage to miss repeatedly, but the strong suction that followed made the boss's laughter stop abruptly.

Under the remote restraint, the dungeon boss could only watch helplessly as it flew towards the dazzlingly bright game sword.

"Impossible! This isn't something a player can do..."

"Bang--!"

Combo attacks create visual and explosive effects.

From the outside, it looks like a game sword strike that kills the dungeon boss instantly, exploding in front of Xia Chuan, leaving only two orbs of light that condense and float in mid-air, transforming into a player driver and a game cartridge, along with a game completion certificate cartridge.

"Game complete!"

"This is the hidden item?"

Baosheng Yongmu's body trembled slightly.

He found it strange from the beginning, as he had obtained the Rider System but did not have the Transformation Driver.

The Chronicles cartridge doesn't resemble a drive at all.

He finally understood after seeing the hidden item.

The true Game Rider transforms using a Driver and a cartridge.

"So what does our transformation even mean?"

"It's just the power that the game lends to you."

Xia Chuan stepped forward and picked up the player driver and game cartridge.

It's "Extraordinary Action X", the base cartridge for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid.

That's right, the boss we just saw was based on the villain from "Extraordinary Action X", and the hidden items are naturally the corresponding knights.

"etc!"

Seeing Natsukawa put away the hidden item, Emu Hojo quickly spoke up to stop him.

"We can't let you take it away like that! If those guys are right, this Knight System can cure gaming addiction, right?"

Xia Chuan paused: "Of course, level 1 allows you to separate the patient from the Collapse Source, so you can eliminate the Collapse Source individually..."

"Then we absolutely cannot let you take it!"

Hojo Emu was full of fighting spirit, facing Natsukawa's back in a fighting stance, showing no fear despite Natsukawa's strong performance just now.

"I'm sorry, but I have my reasons for using this Knight System. I've already seen through your attack. Let's settle this once and for all!"
