I already said this is not a life simulator!

The terrifying feeling made them shiver again, and they looked at Xi Wang with some suspicion and fear in their eyes, but in the end it turned into... anger.

Haha...so boring.

Xi Wang withdrew his gaze indifferently and left quickly. Judging from the direction... he should be heading to the airport.

"...Then let's begin the battle."

The people on the screen said something angrily and then hung up the phone... Obviously, Xi Wang's attitude just now made them very unhappy.

Humph... Since Xi Wang said that all this was Mobius's idea... In that case, they might as well point the finger at Mobius, hehe... It just so happens that Mobius's problem should indeed be dealt with.

In that case, let’s take action after this “Great Collapse” is resolved - that’s what they planned.

But... it's a pity ~ they don't have that chance ~

After all... this guy was specially [marked] by her most beloved [child]... As a [mother], she would never let him go.

...Okay, let's turn our attention back.

"I now understand why the higher-ups want to recruit Xi Wang so much... With this kind of momentum, which new recruit can withstand it? As long as he leads the soldiers, there will definitely not be a single troublemaker."

The captain of the first team shook his head with amusement, and then took the initiative to greet the others.

"Alright, comrades, it's time to set off. Our actions are already much slower than his. Don't let Xi Wang, that guy who's not from the Operations Department, look down on us!"

"Yes!"xN

"Alicea...Alicea?"

"Ah? Sorry, I was just thinking about something."

"Are you worried about Xi Wang? It doesn't matter. His combat capability is higher than you think. If he comes to the Operations Department, he will definitely be the captain."

"No, I just..."

Alicia hesitated for a while, but finally shook her head.

"nothing."

Alicia took the initiative to step forward and ran towards the team's assembly point.

However, the aura she felt from Xi Wang just now has been lingering in her mind... Just now, she vaguely felt a breath similar to that of a [companion] from Xi Wang.

No way...is this really possible?

Alicia's thoughts suddenly became a little complicated, but after arriving at the assembly point and meeting up with her team members, Alicia temporarily suppressed her doubts.

No matter what, the mission takes priority, and solving the "Great Collapse" takes priority.

…………

"Everyone, don't use the previous one for team communications. The rescue team led by Hen has lost contact. The strong storm has hindered communications... Use this one, which Wei Erwei has temporarily researched. The strong signal within the range can allow us to maintain communication during combat."

"it is good."

"There is also this new combat uniform, made of "Soul Steel". You can put it on directly. Remember to wear the mask to avoid any unexpected situations caused by strong winds..."

"powerful."

"There is a hidden groove on each side of the combat suit's legs, which contains the medicines developed by the doctor and I."

"The one on the left is provided by the doctor. It is a mixture of nutrients and stimulants. It can increase your comprehensive combat capabilities for a certain period of time, and the side effects afterwards are also very small. So use it when necessary. Do you understand?"

"The one on the right is mine. If you find any signs of Honkai erosion on your body, quickly find a hidden place to hide and get an injection. It can save your life."

"In addition, considering the urgency of the war, we will not allow you to use the prototype weapons under development, so as to save you the time to adapt... Therefore, we have only modified your commonly used weapons, which are more powerful than before, so use them with caution."

"...awesome."

What else can I say? Look at the new equipment! Look at the new equipment!

Awesome!

It turned out to be the right thing to do to establish a good relationship with Xiwang!

only……

"Uh...but Xiwang, your clothes...and what you are carrying on your back..."

"I know, it looks like a coffin, but if you dare to say it, I will dislocate your hands right now."

"...Ahem, I don't mean that."

"Then, let's get going."

……

…………

The subsequent operations seemed particularly smooth. With the support of new equipment and the cooperation of several teams, the diversionary operation against the [Fourth Herrscher] also went smoothly... On the way, the first team also rescued a passionate young man named Kosmo.

As for Xi Wang? He was silently recording something during the battle. Apart from occasionally blocking an attack once or twice at a critical moment, or using the "box" he carried to resist the attack of the Herrscher to save his comrades, he didn't seem to do anything, as if he really just came here to record data.

This situation continued until... the [Fourth Herrscher] became impatient and began to try to snipe the team members at specific locations.

…………

slam-la-

It was the sound of heavy rain, mixed with the roar of strong wind. The sky was blocked by rain clouds, making everything look dark.

Boom!

The wind ball used by the [Fourth Herrscher] to attack came again, but was blocked by the "box" unfolded by Xi Wang... This barely safe area was where everyone could catch their breath.

The Herrscher is indeed the Herrscher. Even if everyone has updated their equipment, it will still be very difficult to defeat it if they don't find an opportunity or a method...

However, the diversionary tactics have been very successful. The next step is to continue to hold on and wait for the "experienced" Alicia to deal with it.

"Huh...almost done."

However, at this moment, Xi Wang, who was supporting the "box", murmured something in a low voice.

"what?"

Other people's questions came from the team's communication.

"Who is the most physically fit person here?"

Xiwang asked quickly.

"Xiwang, do you have a solution?"

"Say it."

“…Kevin!”

"I'm here!"

A young man with white hair crouched to prevent himself from being locked by the [Fourth Herrscher], and quickly moved to Xi Wang and his captain.

"Kevin... ah, that's true."

There was a hint of smile in Xiwang's tone.

"Are you interested in taking an honor?"

"Ok?"

"Xiwang, what do you mean?!"

Kevin was still a little confused, but his captain already understood Xiwang's subtext.

However, although he was very excited, he did not lose his mind.

"Xiwang, there's no need to take such risks. We just need to continue delaying."

"It's not a risk. I have confidence. Believe me."

Xi Wang quickly input a series of commands into the "box" and took out a set of... "combat uniform" from the inside of the "box"?

"Moreover, every second that the Herrscher exists, the more damage it causes... We should resolve it as quickly as possible."

As Xi Wang spoke, he put the "combat uniform" in his hand directly on Kevin... This "combat uniform" was also made of "soul steel", so after it was put on, it naturally fit Kevin's body shape.

In this way, Kevin now has two "combat suits" on his body, but Kevin does not feel that his movements are affected or hindered... It seems that the "combat suit" has an additional effect of assisting movement?

"but……"

"Don't worry, this extra 'combat uniform' is not only a protection for him, but also a weapon for victory... The worst result is just returning to the current situation, there will be no loss."

Xiwang said quickly.

“If something goes wrong, I will take the blame.”

"……you say!"

The captain of the first team gritted his teeth and finally agreed... What Xi Wang said was still very important and worthy of his trust.

"Very good, next...Kevin, you are the [Soldier]."

Xiwang instructed seriously.

"Your mission is to reach the bottom of the [chessboard] and become the [queen] of the final victory. Do you understand?"

"I will report the rest of the instructions to you on the spot, but you will not have any other tasks until you reach the bottom of the [chessboard]. Do you understand?"

"……learn."

Although what Xi Wang said was a little strange, Kevin still nodded to show that he understood... In short, he just had to obey orders.

"……call."

"Xiwang?!"

Everyone looked at Xi Wang in amazement as he took off the mask and exposed his face to the storm.

And under the cover of rain...the scarlet circle around Xiwang's pupils seemed even more conspicuous.

"fine."

Xiwang waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry... On the contrary, he liked this environment very much.

There is water and wind, ah...it really can't be better.

Xiwang could feel the distinct joy coming from the rain.

Xi Wang also closed his eyes gently and imagined the upcoming battle in his mind.

First, the rear is in fourth, the rook is in third…

The pawn moves forward one, the queen moves forward two, the elephant moves forward three...

The pawn moves forward one, the queen moves forward six, the rook moves forward two...

The pawn advances one, the queen advances two...

He was not worried about his deduction going wrong. If he had to explain why...

The rain will protect everything for him, and the breeze will bring him messages. As a being who once mastered these two powers, the degree of control over this power by the [Fourth Herrscher] seems somewhat immature in front of Xi Wang.

Well, but this can only be achieved thanks to the rainy day today, otherwise Xi Wang really couldn't do it... Oh, no, judging from the power of the [Fourth Herrscher], its appearance must be accompanied by wind and rain, after all, it is these two forces that bring destruction.

That's really a pity~ It met Xiwang at this moment, a guy who was extremely dangerous to it.

"call……"

Xiwang adjusted his breathing slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

Enter the command into the "box", then take out a special sniper rifle and a special "magazine".

On the way, he also saw the badge belonging to Mobius placed inside the box... The situation was urgent before, so Xi Wang did not return it, but took it directly to the battlefield. Considering safety issues, Xi Wang kept it inside the "box".

When seeing this badge, Xiwang couldn't help but think of the changes that Mebius had undergone after "that day"...especially the change in his attitude towards himself. That overly obvious "hint" was somewhat overwhelming.

And afterwards, the trust that Mobius showed in him was a little too outrageous... Even before, after knowing what Xi Wang was going to do, he handed the badge to him without any psychological burden. Apart from asking him to record some data and try to ensure the integrity of the body of the [Herrser] so that she could come back for research, he didn't ask much.

She didn’t even say to Xiwang, “You must come back alive”... Oh no, that wouldn’t be a good thing.

In short, after knowing what Xi Wang was going to do, Mebius did not seem to be worried about Xi Wang's life safety, as if he was sure that he would come back alive, or even... triumphantly.

However...it is indeed the case.

"Ah……"

Xiwang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, took the badge out of the "box" and put it in the pocket inside his combat uniform... There was no other way. Considering the battle in a while, Xiwang could hardly guarantee whether the badge could be protected by the "box".

Of course, it was not affected by the attack of the Herrscher, but a problem with the "Box" itself.
