Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

"I, Captain Livr, will take care of you low-class fellows!"

The mechanical Livr is the incarnation of the final boss in the "Bang Bang Shooter" game cartridge. After Danrito copied his data, he was strengthened and stuffed into the Challenge Tower, appearing as a random mini-boss between floors 21 and 40. And Danrito's order to him was...

"No one can take away the clearance certificate that I guard!"

Point defense battle.

Facing the strengthened enemy Captain Livr, in the medium difficulty level, Captain Livr will not move around, but will hold three positions. The challenger must find a way to occupy two of these positions to obtain the "Clearance Certificate".

After obtaining the clearance certificate, Captain Freer will go into a rampage and start chasing the challenger. At this time, all the challenger has to do is go to one of the two designated escape locations.

This was the boss battle process designed with Captain Liefel in mind. If the commandos weren't dealt with early on, and the battle dragged on until later stages, Captain Liefel would be everywhere, teaching the challengers a lesson in fire suppression.

"That's quite inspiring, but we rabbits are not vegetarians either!"

The stun grenade in Miyako's hand had been thrown, and Captain Liver, who had enhanced his shooting skills, quickly changed the universal weapon in his hand, raised an explosion-proof shield in front of himself, and blocked the explosion of the stun grenade!

"What a convenient weapon! --- then let's use this!"

Saki, standing nearby, immediately raised his support weapon. The anti-tank rocket launcher he'd acquired earlier, now enhanced by two buffs, now unleashed a formidable power surpassing even ordinary weaponry. Before the universal weapon could even transform, the trailing smoke missile struck Captain Liefel's position!

"Don't be careless! Keep suppressing! Manami!"

Miyako didn't stop and ask, "Did they get it?" like those flag-planting characters in anime who see an explosion. Instead, she continued firing at the figure with her submachine gun raised. Thanks to the buff, her bullets created small explosions upon impact. Combined with the submachine gun's high rate of fire and the ammunition capacity of its drum magazine, this weapon, unlikely to exist in real life, displayed unparalleled suppressive power!

"Roger that!"

Manami's buff enhances her ability to lock onto targets through smoke. Even if smoke and dust are flying on the battlefield, she can still see the clear white outline in her sight - it's like taking out her eyeballs and replacing them with thermal imaging!

"I don't know why changing the magazine makes my rifle shoot lasers—but try this!"

"Skill activated: Special ammunition - high-heat cutting laser!"

Perhaps, the fact that a marksman rifle that only seems to fire ordinary gunpowder bullets can shoot out orange-yellow mining lasers from the front can only happen in this game, right?

Captain Livr felt a scorching heat in his chest, and then the armor on his chest melted. "Ugh! My armor has been penetrated!"

"——This is Moe, I've already taken over Point A~"

Moe's lazy voice came from Miyako's radio. Above another stronghold on the battlefield, Moe's armed helicopter was hovering in the air. Below it was a blue flag rising, indicating that the stronghold had been occupied. The flag also had the logo of the Rabbit Squad painted on it.

"Miyako, can you still hold that big guy back?"

"No problem, Moe, go directly to Base C. Follow the plan."

Miyako looked at Captain Livr, who was being beaten back repeatedly by the outburst, and a triumphant smile appeared on her lips. "As long as we can suppress your assault force and break your numerical advantage first, this battle for the stronghold will be our victory!"

"Damn it! I, Captain Livr, have lived a lifetime of honor. How can I fall here?"

As if enraged, Captain Liefel transformed the universal weapon in his hand again, and two rotating machine guns appeared in his hands: "Even if I'm alone, I can suppress you with firepower!"

"Livre shoots—!"

Despite being attacked by the three people in front of him with all their strength and his health dropping rapidly, Captain Livl set up the missile launchers on his shoulders and started to rotate the machine guns in his hands. For a moment, a torrential rain of steel came towards him.

"Find cover!!"

Miyako yelled and rushed towards the nearest ruins. This level of firepower could easily turn a tank into scrap metal. If it were their bodies, they would not be able to withstand even more buffs - elite monsters could easily exceed ten health points, but even if Miyako and the others increased their health limit, it would only be three.

Facing an attack of this scale head-on is just the difference between a piece of paper and one folded in half.

Livl's attacks continued until the barrels of his machine guns burned red and the missile nests behind him were completely depleted. It was clear that being suppressed by Gongzi and the other two was truly frustrating. This was also a key characteristic of the Collapse Body as a level-defending boss: although these creatures were simply copied data, each one was an individual with a certain degree of emotion. This meant that tactics like provocation and psychological warfare could be used against them.

"Point C has been captured—Miyako, that guy's going berserk, so you better run away."

Meng Hui, piloting the helicopter, tilted her head. She had successfully captured the base below her. Even without Captain Liefel's firepower, the attack helicopter could still easily handle the assault troops below. After successfully capturing two bases, a clearance certificate was automatically issued. Now, it was time to escape!

Hearing this, Miyako looked at Captain Livr in the distance. Sure enough, Livr had also received the news that the clearance certificate had been taken away. After an awkward silence, Captain Livr flew into a rage:

"Wow! The despicable 'stealing'! What a despicable tactic! I'm going to kill you all!"

"That's how the tactics work, right?!" Miyako put away her gun and told the others to run. The retreat point was already marked on the small map within their sight. "Moe! Delay this guy!"

"Got it~ All missiles fired!!"

When Miyako and the other two began to retreat towards the target point, Captain Liver, who was planning to give chase, suffered another round of oversaturation attacks from Menghui. Missiles, machine guns, and everything else were fired out in one breath, making Captain Liver so angry that his nose was crooked - if it had a nose.

"Assholes! How can you waste ammunition like that? How can you fly a helicopter like that on the battlefield?" Liefel cursed, raising his machine gun and starting to fight back: "What school taught you guys?"

"Ahahaha~ It's this moment of release that is the most beautiful moment for these weapons~" Meng Hui shot out the last of her ammunition and leaned back in her seat with satisfaction, her face flushed: "I really had a great time shooting today... I can sleep well tonight~ It turns out that staying here is the right choice~"

"——Don't be stupid, Moe! You too, evacuate!"

341. Don’t lose, big brother in a suit

"1 mechanical soldiers, 200 active main battle tanks, 36 heavy attack helicopters, 45 missile vehicles... Okay, don't read the rest. These are just appetizers and don't determine anything."

"What about this?"

"...Matter annihilation bomb, codenamed D4. Might be useful, but not much."

"...Even this kind of power won't work?"

A suffocating silence spread in the conference room. After a while, the voice continued:

"...With all due respect, if you want to deal with Huanmeng Company, these preparations alone may not be enough."

After observing the Caesar Corporation president's preparations, the mysterious supporter shook his head regretfully. "The target you seek revenge against isn't just someone you can shoot down with ballistic missiles. Simply using strategic weapons as a hypothetical enemy isn't enough."

"...This is the most powerful weapon that the Caesar Arms Factory can produce."

The Caesar PMC general was tall and well-dressed in the neat uniform of a military officer. The fact that a robot could even resemble human muscles and bones was truly impressive.

I just don't know why, but the robot must be made to look so close to humans - except for that head that is obviously a robot.

"In the past, the Caesar PMC's arms manufacturing plant was able to produce special bombs similar to ancient nuclear warhead technology. One bomb was enough to wipe half of Kivotos off the map, but unfortunately..."

The general of the Caesar PMC shook his head. "The SRT's special forces destroyed the military factory and destroyed the warheads and technical drawings we manufactured. The bombs we spent so much manpower and material resources on research and development have been ruined."

"If that thing still exists..." The general clenched his fists. "It must be powerful enough."

"I think it's best not to have too high expectations. Mr. Danrito is an extremely mysterious genius. You can't use ordinary people's thinking and understanding to speculate on his upper limits."

The mysterious supporter was unwilling to reveal himself, even when communicating with the president, generals, and other high-ranking officials of the Caesar Group. He only communicated with them through long-distance audio calls.

"To be honest, when you suggested killing Mr. Danrito, I thought you were joking. Because it really isn't a good idea."

It was as if one could sense the person on the other end of the audio shrugging. Although the voice was disguised as electronic music, the sarcasm in the tone was still clearly heard by Caesar's president and general.

"...Perhaps I should show you how Mr. Danrito and his students defeated the Cross God's prophet? Perhaps you'll then realize how far the so-called combat power you speak of falls short of your expectations."

"...That's enough. We're asking for your help so sincerely, not to listen to your ridicule."

The Caesar president clenched his fists, as if ready to smash the conference table to pieces with his hammer-like fists. It was obvious that he was trying hard to suppress his anger.

"You say we're still too weak? Okay, I accept that. Can you offer a solution?"

The Caesar president felt quite aggrieved. How could he have ever been so servile before? In the past, no one would have spoken to him in such a tone.

But after his business empire was shattered by the Huanmeng Group at an inhumane speed, and his Caesar business empire gradually broke apart, and finally only a few remaining departments were left in the critical moment of survival, voices like this began to increase around him.

Of course, Caesar would also tell those blind guys who couldn't see the situation clearly and only knew that his empire was at a disadvantage, and then came up to him with taunts, that even a seriously sick tiger has three or two bones - and there are actually a few such small companies that don't know how to live or die.

And destruction is the consequence of these small companies daring to mock the Caesar Group, which is in a very bad mood.

"I'm surprised that you still have this kind of mentality."

The voice on the other end of the line paused for a moment before continuing slowly, "I believe the Caesar Group has been studying the remains of ancient civilizations, hoping to find some special artifacts to enhance their military capabilities. As it turns out, you've done quite well."

"That's right, and I have to thank you for the information you provided."

The Caesar Group has never been able to figure out what kind of person is behind this cryptic audio in front of them.

They also spent a huge amount of computing power trying to reverse-analyze the true identity behind the audio, but in the end they found nothing. Several mechanical soldiers were even invaded and had their brains damaged.

After giving them information about the remains of ancient civilization, this mysterious supporter has been watching the actions of the Caesar Group from behind the scenes.

As it turned out, the information provided by the mysterious supporter was indeed genuine. Caesar Group relied on several relics unearthed from the unearthed artifacts to lay the initial foundation of its empire.

Until it has grown into a giant in the Kivotos market, it can be said that this mysterious sponsor has made an indelible contribution to the expansion of Caesars Group.

The only failure so far was the excavation of the ancient ruins beneath the Abydos Desert. That operation was destroyed and sabotaged by Danrito and his Abydos students.

For the Caesar Group, that was the only time that an excavation operation failed despite the intelligence support provided by a mysterious sponsor.

It seemed that from that time on, the fate of the Caesars Group went downhill. The Fantasy Dream Group suddenly appeared in the Kivotos market. It started out with game cartridges and gradually occupied almost the entire game market in Kivotos with its magical ability to play game cartridges.

After that, using the gaming market as a source of funding and a springboard, Huanmeng Group gradually acquired companies in various industries and formed its own business empire.

What the Caesar Group did not expect was that the Huanmeng Group, which they thought they could win over and form a new monopoly leader, was actually fighting with them to the death. No matter what conditions they offered, they were unable to change the other party's intentions.

"If that guy is truly unmatched in combat as you say, then I admit that Danrito is a true genius."

The eyes of Caesar's president gradually turned scarlet, or rather, the light above his head turned red, symbolizing his anger.

"I've thoroughly experienced Danrito's business tactics. I'm completely convinced he's superior in this regard. Truly, only a genius could come up with such a strategy."

Caesar's president gnashed his teeth, unwilling to give in. "But! No one has ever gotten away with angering Caesar. I must make him pay!"

"...If you have the guts, then can you bet your life on it?"

"what?"

Caesar's president was stunned for a moment, and the voice on the other end of the audio threw the question to them again.

"Are you willing to risk your lives to avenge Danrito?"

Caesar's president and general looked at each other, and in each other's electronic eyes, they seemed to see a signal of revenge.

"This concerns the glory of Caesar. I will never retreat." The president of Caesar has made up his mind: "Caesar Group is the work of half my life. I will not allow it to disappear without resistance!"

The general adjusted his wide-brimmed hat. "My reasons are the same as the president's. Caesar PMC is my pride and will not be trampled upon. Even if it's just a fantasy, there must be a price to pay!"

"In that case, there is something that would be perfect for you... no, two things."

The mysterious supporter's voice rose in pitch, sounding as if he had made a joyful decision.

"Let's go to Millennium Academy. The underground ruins there have what you want."

"Millennium...Millennium Technology Academy?"

Caesar's president reminisced. "Is that the academy known for its technological prowess? I've also heard of the ruins surrounding Millennium Academy. It's said that many mysteries from the depths of time lie dormant there. Are you suggesting... that there might be something there that could help us defeat Danrito?"

"...It just makes you two more evenly matched."

The mysterious supporter on the other end of the line didn't guarantee victory. It seemed that even with this intelligence in hand, this person still didn't believe Caesar would ultimately triumph.

"One of them is a 'super artificial intelligence core' left behind from an ancient civilization. While it's called an artificial intelligence core, it probably also contains special powers that can enhance robots."

"As for the other thing, I want you to awaken the secret military factory deep in the thousand-year-old ruins."

The mysterious supporter continued, "Even though I've already said that these soldiers, tanks, and other units are nothing more than trash, if they're in sufficient numbers, they can still cause Danrito considerable trouble. It's like the saying that even a large number of ants can kill an elephant. That's how it is."

"Is there still something like this in the ruins of Millennium Academy?" Caesar's president and the general exchanged glances. "But how did you know?"

"We naturally have our own special methods to observe this secret information. This is not something you need to pay attention to. You only need to know that this is the fastest way to gain the power to fight against Danrito."

Caesar's president and generals knew that they no longer had any choice. If they wanted to gain the power to defeat Danrito and defeat Huanmeng, there was no other way except to cooperate again with this mysterious supporter who was always hiding but had helped Caesar many times.

Caesar's president loosened his grip a little. "We will send soldiers to infiltrate the ruins of Millennium Academy. I hope what you said is there."

"Don't worry, I wouldn't lie to you in a place like this, because..."

After the audio, the man in the black suit sat upright and elegantly in his chair: "I also want to witness this scene."

He looked out the shutters and saw the white tower of Xialai rising into the sky.

"It's said that when artificial intelligence reaches a certain stage of development, it will enter a state called 'technological singularity.' The artificial intelligence used by Kivotos today has been developed through countless correct iterations of technological singularity."

Fiberglass

The man in black crossed his hands, and the flame of nothingness burning in his eyes was floating firmly and slowly.

"In ancient civilizations, there was once a technological singularity caused by the erroneous evolution of artificial intelligence, which led to the crisis of world destruction for humanity at that time."

"Now, the Digital Secret Society has discovered the remains of this ancient civilization. Like 'Oupaz', they don't belong to this world, and they are something that can only be found in this time."

"Mr. Danrito, I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of answer you can give me when facing this test."

There are many relics of ancient civilizations sleeping under the thousand-year-old ruins. This is also a major reason why Millennium Science Academy, even as a rising star, can catch up with its veteran predecessors Gehenna and Trinity.

Just as that star Himari once described it, the ruins of Millennium Academy are like "the sewer of the times."
