I ruined Tyra.

Huang took a rough look at the surroundings through several holes in the sewer in the basement of the central building. After not finding any surveillance cameras, he lifted the manhole cover slightly with both hands and poked out a pair of light yellow eyes to observe the situation in secret.

After confirming that there were no means of reconnaissance and surveillance, Huang jumped up with the manhole cover on top, landed easily next to the sewer, and then gently put the manhole cover back in place, all the while being carefully alert to the surrounding situation.

After confirming that the entire process was silent, Huang tiptoed to the basement door and carefully checked the situation outside.

You wouldn't know until you see it. It was shocking. She didn't know how many tripwires she had found. She could even see a few crossbows hidden in the dark, facing the basement door from the corner of her eye.

At the moment, it is impossible to go out through the basement door, so Huang turned her attention to the only ventilation duct that might allow her to get out.

But Hong is such an honest kid. He said he wanted to record his combat experience, and he even recorded a lot of stealth skills. While Huang was happily referring to these stealth skills, he was secretly thinking about asking Dr. Kal'tsit to help tell Hong, because Hong was only responsible for Kal'tsit and the rumored Ascalon.

After carefully checking the ventilation duct and finding no abnormalities, Huang directly put the entire Rupert into the ventilation duct.

Thanks to Operator Red's small size, and even her lack of development (probably), Huang was able to get in easily. If it were her real body or those Ghost Sharks, Lappland and others, they would probably be stuck at the ventilation duct because of their impressive capital.

Thinking of this, Huang couldn't help but reveal a lewd smile. He didn't expect that they were all so attractive.

For Huang, although she can only see through the portraits and cannot see or touch the person she transforms into, for a woman like her who is open-minded and experienced, is it difficult to judge the figures of other girls based on their portraits alone?

After crawling in the ventilation duct for a while, Huang found another room that looked safer.

Using the quick-disassembly ventilation duct opening provided by Hong, he successfully removed the opening (why does this even exist?!). Huang held the duct opening with one hand and supported himself with the other hand before jumping down from the ventilation duct on the ceiling.

He first carefully checked the surroundings. When he found no problems, he did not put the pipe opening back. After finding a relatively secluded place to hide, Huang quietly opened the door and prepared to search for Faust's location along the floors.

Since they were able to locate her in such a short time, there was no way Huang would believe that Faust was not in the central building.

After silently using Operator Red's stealth tracking experience to roughly estimate the location, Huang simply took a brief look at the situation on the lower floor and ran directly to the top floor and the rooftop.

She had already realized that when she entered the challenge, Faust was definitely near her, at most on the top three or four floors. He might have been observing her situation until she jumped into other buildings.

As she was hurrying up the stairs, the circle of the northern building had been shrunk, and the circle of the southern building had also begun to shrink. By the time she reached the top floor, her range of movement was limited to only four buildings: east, southeast, west, and central.

Out of a hunter's natural intuition, he instantly locked onto one of the rooms as soon as he reached the top floor.

Huang quietly walked over, observed at the door of the room, and immediately discovered the stink bomb traps.

She did not choose to trigger these traps, but quietly retreated and prepared to move to another location.

She knew that she had arrived too late. Faust had already evacuated and his location was uncertain. He might not even be in the central building anymore.

Hiding in the middle of a corridor staircase, where there are not many windows for observation, it is relatively safe.

Huang opened the map and looked at the few remaining buildings. The building in the southeast direction already had a shrinking circle prompt, so it could be ignored.

Then there are only three buildings left, namely East, Central and West.

The three just happen to form a straight line, and the central building is the most dangerous because it can be attacked from both sides. The attacker does not have to worry about the side invasion at all. He only needs to observe all the entrances and exits of this line.

Well, for a sniper, the less space the opponent can move in, the better. Since the space in the East Building has expanded because the Southeast Building has not yet shrunk, the only thing left is - the West Building.

After thinking this through, Huang started to act, but there was one thing she hadn't figured out yet: was there any pattern to the shrinking circle mechanism? Otherwise, how could it just form a line?

As long as the player is successfully misled and foolishly searches for Faust in the middle building, the final result will most likely be that he is sandwiched between two pieces of cheese and finally dies on the way to the transfer building.

Just as she found a convenient room to move to, the shrinking circle of the Southeast Building came to an end.

Soon, the new shrinking circle building prompt appeared. Huang took a look and found that it was the middle building.

The probability of choosing between two options, will you die if you choose the wrong one? It's really interesting, she likes it.

Having made up his mind, Huang decided to jump down, then turned into a hidden rope on the way down and used the grappling hook to swing himself into the west building.

Because her movements were too fast and she was on guard, a few crossbow shells arrived too late and there was no more movement.

Faust, whose crossbow was empty, frowned. This time the opponent was quite fierce. Not only were all the traps blocked, but there was no sound at all when he was quickly moving to the middle building. He even completely lost all information about the opponent for a while.

After secretly making a promise to learn more traps, Faust climbed up from the camouflaged ground, packed up his things, and was about to move quickly to the west building before the shrinking circle started, when the wall of his room was suddenly broken.

A nun holding a high-speed saw walked out from the smoke and dust, raised the saw towards Faust, and showed a beautiful shark-tooth smile.

"Dear little snake, I found you. Now it's time to play cat and mouse."

Soon, the outcome of the battle was decided. After Huang turned into a ghost shark and was forced to unlock his health early after being hit by several crossbow arrows, Faust was approached. With nowhere to retreat, he could only desperately raise his crossbow to try to block the high-speed rotating saw blade.

But in the end, the crossbow that had been wiped clean was completely sawed in half by the saw blade, leaving a trace of splattered blood.

"Congratulations on clearing the challenge from Faust!"

"Settlement in progress..."

written request for leave

I can only say that I was so unlucky. I went home for the National Day holiday with the intention of spending some quality time with my family and writing seriously. But my relatives came over and I had to drive them around and then come back at 8 or 9 every night. After finishing my homework for the civil service exam and logging into the Thunder Simulator to clean up my computer, it was already 12 o'clock.

Today I was able to come back early, and I was having a great time typing on my laptop when it suddenly shut down. I spent an hour disassembling the laptop to investigate, and found that the battery was flooded... (So why did water still get into my laptop when I put it on a wind radiator?)

I finally fixed it, but when I opened it, I found that the manuscript was not saved automatically. An hour of writing was wasted.

It didn’t matter if I wrote it in vain. The idea was already written down, so I just had to rewrite it. But within half an hour, the laptop computer, which theoretically had 100% battery, enough for two hours of typing, ran out of power...

I tried it, but the battery couldn't be charged at all, and it was draining faster than it was charging. I guess the battery, which has been used for 6 years, is really going to die, so I can only shut down the phone and charge it.

I'll see if I can get back to normal tomorrow. If not... let alone typing, I'm afraid I'll have to complete the entire process within half an hour to take the civil service exam.

So I really hope that as a 6-year-old laptop, it is already a mature laptop and should learn to repair itself. Otherwise, I really have to send it in for repair.

It's already 2:30 since I've been busy all this time. I can't continue writing (I'm sleepy and I have to get up early and drive out tomorrow). I can only take this leave.

I hope all my readers who are willing to support me will approve of this.

An unlucky author who may have Mercury retrograde during National Day.

Six-star sniper operator - Faust

Position: Sharpshooter

First Talent: Stealth Expert: Gain stealth effect when deployed to the battlefield. The stealth effect will disappear within a certain period of time and will not be affected by stealth breaking effects during the stealth period.

Second Talent: Ballista Master: After deployment, you will get a ballista, which can only be deployed once at most, until Faust evacuates or is destroyed. Faust can only get one ballista at most. (Can take advantage of potential effect bonus, not deployment position)

Taking skill level 7 as a reference:

Skill 0 (Available at Elite 250): Critical Hit: After Faust attacks a certain number of times, the next crossbow arrow will be a purple crossbow arrow, causing % damage to the enemy (see Silver Gray Powerful Hit).

Skill 1 (Available at Elite ): Phantom Crossbowman: Faust's basic attack power increases, he enters stealth state, and can designate a teammate within the attack range to enter stealth state, sharing the effect of the first talent.

技能三（精英2开放）：召唤弩炮：浮士德突破弩炮上限，可多部署+1(7级+2、专三+3）个弩炮，所有弩炮攻速++

Infrastructure skills:

Crossbow Maintenance: When in the dormitory, restore +0.35 mood points every hour for all operators using crossbows

Phantom Squad: When stationed in the training room to assist, increase the training speed of all crossbow-using operators' specialized skills by 65%.

......

The design idea is probably to let Faust cooperate with the crossbow in combat, while giving full play to his talents of concealment and targeting low armor, so that he can play a greater role on the battlefield.

However, the writing idea of ​​this book is mainly based on real-life combat + multiplayer team-up. Terra players only care about any mechanism that can help them survive and achieve higher output, and don’t care about numerical issues. So I have a strong feeling that Faust’s second skill will become the most popular mechanism among sniper operators, or it will become a magical skill in high-pressure challenges.

By the way, in real-life combat, the only difference between stealth and camouflage is that one can move, and the other cannot. After all, in tower defense mode, the operators cannot move, so they use camouflage, and those monsters that can be invisible are called stealth because they can move. (Probably?)

(Some readers think that it’s a bit too much to put the skill design of the plot characters in the main text, so I will open a separate free chapter and put it here. The same goes for other plot characters I will design in the future. You can refer to it at your own discretion.

Also, the author is following the example of the angle. If there are any numerical problems, please feel free to give feedback. At worst, I can open a module {dog head}, which happens to have an X-model crossbow and a Y-model stealth mechanism.

If you have any questions, please comment below the problem mechanism, and the author will explain the design ideas in detail after seeing it.)

Chapter 101: Full of Energy Huang Da Miao

"Congratulations on completing the Purgatory Challenge from Faust. Your rewards will now be calculated.

You have obtained the six-star sniper operator Faust. Please check it in the operator interface.

You have obtained 15 yellow tickets and some resources. Please check in the warehouse."

After coming out of Faust's Purgatory mode, Huang Da Miao first stretched her body lazily, allowing her beautiful curves to be fully displayed in the game hall.

Only after all the bones in her body started to crackle and creak, did she open the operator interface with her ears twitching, ready to evaluate the newly acquired Faust operator.

"Come, let me see what good things Faust has.

Emmmm, the position is a sharpshooter? Is it a higher position than Amber and Ranger? The expected value looks pretty good, what about the skills? "

While evaluating Faust's stats, Huang turned his attention to his skills. Whether an operator is popular or not, his skill mechanism is very important, and the stats are just the icing on the cake.

After seeing this, she couldn't take her eyes away, staring at Faust's first and second skills.

"Victoria swears! Is this T-cat serious? Faust's talent allows him to hide as soon as he lands and is not affected by the invisibility effect. His second skill can also designate an operator within the attack range to hide together?

That's fine, but what about the gift of 'Victorian foul language' that he can share with Faust? !

Wouldn't that mean two operators who can maneuver stealthily on the battlefield without being affected by stealth-breaking effects? ! "

Huang took out the communicator in the game hall and started contacting Dr. Kal'tsit and her colleagues, asking them to arrange people to complete the fifth chapter and challenge Faust's purgatory mode as soon as possible.

Then, Dr. Kal'tsit, who was woken up, looked at Huang who was excited in the video chat in her pajamas. She couldn't help but hold the communicator tightly with her claws. How could Huang not know her? Who is she? She is the first doctor appointed by Yinjiao!

"Huang, I understand your feelings, but you only need to clear the fifth chapter and successfully challenge the Faust operator within a fixed time to obtain the six-star sniper. There is no need to be so anxious. You might as well think about the land of Terra..."

Huang just pricked up her ears and listened to Kal'tsit's sermons and riddles for an hour, and she felt completely drained of energy.

After finally waiting for Kal'tsit to say enough and hang up the phone, Huang dejectedly quit the game and climbed out of the nutrition cabin naked.

She first tilted her head to smell herself, and then was smelled by the smell of sweat that she had not had time to clean off. She turned up her nose in dissatisfaction and made a "Huh~" sound.

As a girl who loves cleanliness, she quickly took out her clothes and rushed into the bathroom with her bare feet. As for the issue of hot and cold water, it made no difference to her whether it was cold or hot water, as neither could quench her fiery blood.

After a while, Huang, looking refreshed, came out of the bathroom wearing a bath towel and wiping his hair with a towel. He sat in his seat and wiped his hair.

During this process, she accidentally glanced at her own proud assets in the mirror, and even had a long and flexible tail. When she thought of Kal'tsit's tail that was so short that it was almost invisible and the not-so-obvious curves, she couldn't help but laugh softly.

Maybe in terms of qualifications, she is indeed not as good as Dr. Kal'tsit, but in terms of capital, she has left Kal'tsit far behind.

Just as Huang was thinking about bad things with a malicious smile on his face, the communicator she placed on the table suddenly rang, disturbing Huang's daydream.

She opened her phone with some dissatisfaction to check who sent her the email, and then her eyes widened.

"Dear Miss Huang, you have been selected as a six-star guard operator in the Arknights game. Please report to Yinjiao Mountain within the following time. We will reimburse you for the full travel fare and transmission fee.

If you do not want to be... please come here to complete the formalities before XX working days, and we will provide you with a substantial amount of... "

When she saw this, Huang didn't want to read on anymore. She just wanted to vent her happy emotions.

"Great! I will become a six-star guard too!" After seeing the content she wanted to see in the email, Huang jumped up in joy, raised her hands high, and let the bath towel fall off, emitting holy light.

Meanwhile, Faust, who was killed by Huang in a single attack, carefully reviewed his performance in the previous game, adjusted his breathing, and then began the next assessment.

He took a look at the list assigned to him by the system. Who is the next opponent? Ishamara? The name looks like a girl's. Could it be another one like Huang?

After confirming that the other party had entered the challenge, Faust also loaded it in. He used the host's authority to observe the other party at his birth position and found that the other party had switched to Operator Skadi and was waiting in place with a greatsword.

After sorting out his equipment and making sure everything was OK, Faust started the challenge.

Just when the countdown reached zero, Faust subconsciously looked at Ishamara for the last time, and then saw her holding up the greatsword high.

Before Faust could wonder, the challenge began and his observation privileges disappeared.

But he didn't have to continue thinking about the reason why Ishamara raised the sword, because he heard the sound of the roof cracking and saw the sword falling from the sky and slashing towards him.

A few seconds later, Faust, who had speed-runned less than ten games, came out of the challenge room, returned to his personal space in silence, and lay on his bed without saying a word, his mind filled with the sword that was coming towards him.

Faust had a premonition that if he didn't figure out how that person named Ishamara knew his location all of a sudden, he would not be able to sleep at all tonight.

......

The next morning, Huang got up early and asked for leave from Kal'tsit in advance. She went directly to the place mentioned in the email through the built-in portal in Rhodes Island.

Standing at the door of the recording studio, Huang met Le Shen, Czerny and others, who were rare to him. There were even a few young people leaning against the wall at the door of the recording studio. After carefully listening to Le Shen's training of the band named Wangsheng, Huang suddenly had a bold idea.

In fact, she also knew how to play the drums, and she was pretty good at it! She even had the confidence to volunteer to apply for the position of drummer, but then she was glared at by the Rupert boy named Wang Xingyu for a long time, and then she was pulled out by the God of Music, saying that she, a lead singer, was just messing around.

However, Le Shen also promised to reserve a drummer position for Huang in the new band later, but she would have to wait for a while. He also threw a song to her and said it was Huang Da Miao's EP to comfort her.

Therefore, after hearing the lyrics of her own EP, Huang felt that just as the title of the song said, her blood was boiling.

Chapter 102 Xiosta Warm-up

Just as Huang was concentrating on preparing her EP and illustrations, in the Yinjiao conference room, a penguin wearing sunglasses and headphones and listening to music had been leaning on a conference chair and waiting for a long time.
