How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

I couldn't help but cast a strange look.

Just as Cecilia and I thought, all the bullets fired by those impatient players missed the target, immediately attracting laughter from many people around us.

Following Cecilia's instructions, I released the Eye of Ugal and it rose into the sky.

Through the clearer picture, Cecilia quickly determined the height of the balloon and the speed of its descent.

"In another 30 seconds, it will be within the effective range of the slingshot."

If everyone is compared to snipers, then Cecilia is the best observer at this moment. With sufficient experience (?), she can easily judge the best time.

"it's OK now."

The crowd, who had been ready for a long time, immediately threw bullets into the sky.

All of them hit different balloons without missing a single one.

clap clap-

The balloons burst into tiny pieces of colored flakes, and the gift boxes hanging underneath fell rapidly, soon landing in everyone's hands.

Thanks to Cecilia's precise calculations, we were the first group of players in the square to shoot down the balloons.

When the players nearby saw someone succeed, they immediately released their slingshots. Countless bullets flew into the sky, countless balloons burst, and countless gifts fell like raindrops. The atmosphere in the whole venue suddenly reached a climax.

I curiously reached out and opened the gift box that I had knocked down in front of me. Inside was a complete level of obsidian, shining with a different kind of light.

Most of the gifts received by Yiwen and the others nearby were small gifts such as materials, gems, special props, etc. There were even decorative objects and toys, all for the purpose of creating a festive atmosphere.

This piece of obsidian might be the most valuable one among them.

But even so, I couldn't wait to continue pulling the slingshot and join in the national balloon-shooting craze with Yiwen, my aunt and the others next to me.

Under the instructions of "instructor" Cecilia, the balloons were smashed one by one.

Seeing such a lively scene, Ahri seemed to want to join in. She tried hard to gather her telekinesis and project it into the sky, but the result was naturally predictable.

Either the distance was not enough, or it completely passed through the balloon and had no effect.

The angry yo-yo sound immediately made everyone laugh.

Although there were a large number of balloons, there were also a large number of players below, not to mention that everyone had a lot of bullets in their hands. The number of balloons quickly dropped sharply, and not a single one could successfully land on the ground.

Fortunately, the mechanical airships hovering in the sky would release the next batch of balloons for the players to shoot at regular intervals, allowing this lively party to continue until ten o'clock.

After all the balloons were shot down, the mechanical airship did not release a new batch of balloons but flew away with steam coming out. The players below, who were gradually becoming more and more playful, still looked as if they were not satisfied.

“It’s not satisfying at all.”

"Damn it, if I had known this would happen, I would have fired all the bullets I have left."

“It’s too sad to end like this.”

However, the officials of Era seem to be aware that the atmosphere and emotions aroused by the players will not calm down for a while. The end of this "balloon-hitting" activity does not mean that the Christmas Eve celebrations are completely over.

"Look, Santa Claus is back!"

Soon, someone noticed that the Santa Clauses who had left after distributing slingshots and projectiles had returned again and taken out batches of items from their huge gift bags.

The gifts distributed to the players this time are also in a fixed form.

A pair of gloves, a transparent protective cover, and a badge.

Single update, going to the movies with classmates.

Chapter 20: Two Groups of People Encountered

Except for this pair of gloves and protective cover.

According to the description, that badge can be used to open a special winter snow barrier with other players.

Players who enter the Winter Snow Barrier can team up with each other, and those outside the barrier cannot affect those inside.

Of course there are other benefits, such as using this badge to participate in the official snowball game held every afternoon.

But those are completely unimportant. What is important is to combine these three.

Everyone has come to an obvious answer -

Snowball fight!

I don't know who started it first.

After opening the barrier, he immediately used his gloves to pick up a large snowball from the ground and launched a critical hit at his companion.

As the snowball exploded on the protective cover, snow flakes flew everywhere.

The other players came to their senses and chose not to read the complicated rules, and personally participated in this lively snowball fight game.

Suddenly, the snowball fight spread from a game played by just a few people to most of the players in the square.

It turned into a large-scale melee.

“Aaaaah, help~”

"Brother, have you eaten yet? If not, eat me one!"

"Don't run!"

The sound of snowballs colliding and the players' exclamations and cheers combined to create a lively scene in the square.

But it's not entirely true to say it's a melee. Ji Yuan obviously took into account the chaos of the situation and set up two modes on the badge. One is a free fight, and the other is a barrier opened by inviting friends.

The former can fight with many unknown players.

The other form is relatively orderly and is also the type that most players are happy to choose.

Therefore, the scene only looks chaotic, but in fact, it is protected and restricted by system rules. Many players can immerse themselves in their own happiness without being disturbed by others.

Some players choose not to open the badge, and instead pile up snowmen or various snow sculptures in a corner, which makes it seem like a peaceful time amidst the flying snowballs.

There were also players who did not participate in either of them. They gathered around a stage that had been set up at some point in the center of the square, admiring the shadows on the magic screen.

According to official sources, many big-name stars will be invited to the Era tomorrow to perform on stage or participate in various activities. By then, the enthusiasm of the players is expected to reach new heights.

But we'll talk about that tomorrow.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the entire city has become even more heated with the opening of the snowball fight. Instead of cooling down from the previous activities, it has become even more enthusiastic.

"Then you should log off and go to bed at 12 o'clock at the latest."

Although I know that children's bodies are still developing and they cannot stay up late, it sounds a bit cruel to force them to log off after finally having such a lively event.

So my aunt also set a bottom line for us.

"it is good!"

It is precious to be able to get two hours of gaming time, so Yuwen and I quickly raised our hands to agree.

"Sister An Rou is really something. What's wrong with sleeping late?"

"That is to say, this is to prepare for entering university in the future."

My aunt and others nearby seemed to want to add fuel to the "revolution", but they fell silent at the warning look from my aunt.

Sister Qiu Ru on the other side has also found a seat.

"Xiaoxuan and the others have already occupied a place outside the city. Let's go over there now."

Although after opening the barrier, players feel like they are occupying a large snowball fight area, the actual area is several times smaller than it feels. But even so, the many players in the Victory Square have already filled up the space of the square.

This is the case with Victory Square, and it goes without saying for other places in the city.

Fortunately, Jiyuan had considered this problem in advance and included the areas around the city in the scope of snowball fights.

"You guys are coming over too?"

Qiu Ru glanced at a figure approaching and gave her an inexplicable look.

"That's too much, don't you think I'm a nobody?"

Others may not know, but Qiu Ru could not possibly not understand the other person's nature. She gently tapped the other person's head and said, "This is definitely a collective activity within the guild."

"Then let's have a guild gathering. It can also deepen our cooperative relationship, right?"

Qiu Li stuck out her tongue and hugged her sister's arm.

Qiu Ru rolled her eyes, unable to persuade the other party, "Forget it, whatever you want, let's go together."

When everyone arrived outside the city, they realized how popular this event was.

Not only inside Fanes, most of the areas around the city are also occupied by the player group, and among them you can see the presence of guilds of all sizes.

Fortunately, they seemed to have arrived early, or perhaps it was because of the guild’s name.

Shi Xuan and other students from Class 16 of Senior High School, as well as some other members of Alice, actually snatched a considerable area from the surrounding players, and it was inside the woods.

The complex terrain will obviously make the snowball fight process more interesting.

Looking at the little guys next to him who are still in an excited state.

I laughed secretly in my heart.

I've almost figured out how to teach them a lesson.

After all, although I missed the Christmas event in my previous life, I still memorized some of the skills and strategies about the event in order to prepare for the next event.

Although it’s true that I missed it the next time as well.

But it doesn’t matter. Now I can use these strategies and techniques to become a “snowball fight king”.

However, just when I was eager to try.

Suddenly, a familiar voice called out from not far behind him.

"Are those Alice's people over there?"

"I saw Xiaotong, Xiao Yiwen and the others!"

"Shall we go over and play with them?"

I turned around and was stunned.

Yes, the owners of these sweet voices were none other than the many girls from the Rose Heart Guild. At this moment, led by the Red Rose, they were approaching this side.

If it were any other time, I wouldn't care too much about this coincidental encounter, but now no matter how I think about it, it's definitely an encounter in Shura Field.

Although Alice and Rose Heart are also in a cooperative relationship, they are particularly familiar with each other.

But there are also some people who don't like each other.

For example, two groups of people——

"Oh, you guys are still here."

"Don't say that, Dolan. I'm just a little less interested."

"Shouldn't it be our turn to say this?"

"That's right, this is our Alice's guild activity, so I'll skip it~"

Just as I expected, Sister Duolan and Sister Ye Yuan started arguing as soon as they met.
