Chapter 17: Killing Time (Part 2/2)
Right now the interface of the game had already begun load and Luo Nan had already determined in his heart to not get caught up with Zhang Yingying on this matter. He glanced at the wind speed and temperature data, issuing the gesture to advance forward.
Heiya and his pet, a mechanized dog named Nubi who carried two ammo supplies, began to climb towards the highest hill in the surrounding terrain as chosen by Luo Nan.
Zhang Yingying smirked and crossed her arms over her chest. She didn’t manipulate her character at all. Her mutant type character, Feng Huang, cruised in the air. She carried the posture of control.
Luo Nan understood her intentions; she was abandoning the flexibility of tactics, directly facing off to determine victory. This was undoubtedly the situation where the character Heiya would be able to bring out the most combat strength.
As a newbie, Luo Nan recognized that she was giving him a handicap. He controlled Heiya to set up a weapons platform on the peak of the hill, completely sacrificing his ability to move as a result. His maximum possible firepower was now realized.
When all his preparations were complete, Luo Nan directly made a taunting gesture without saying a single word.
Zhang Yingying sneered, changing her hand gesture for the first time. She controlled the giant wasp-like Feng Huang to blaze across like a hurricane. The character had already passed the center divide of the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
Right now the two were marked to be a distance of 987 meters apart.
900. 800. 700…...
Heiya’s light railgun began to explode forth, drawing glistening trajectories under the sky.
Zhang Yingying’s grew excited all of sudden. She declared impatiently:
“I’ll smash you to pieces!”
“......”
No matter how silly Zhang Yingying was being, the control skill that she was demonstrating within the game was certainly far and beyond that of Luo Nan.
Feng Huang’s enormous body charged forward, dodging and fluttering between the ballistic shells that grew in concentration. The body broke through the 500 meter barrier between life and death. It broke through the consecutive variations of barrages, causing the arduous and elaborately knitted bullet shield to crumble to pieces.
Nubi got corroded by Feng Huang’s corrosion and his ammunition exploded to waste. Heiya had the light transparent wing of the wasp cross over his neck, directly KOinghim.
“First blood!”
From across the table, Luo Nan saw Zhang Yingying wag her index finger at him.
“Do you want to change characters?”
Luo Nan spoke not a word, selecting the rematch option.
Zhang Yingying took up the challenge with smiles and giggles. When their characters were deployed to the battlefield, she felt a sensation. She raised her head and was met with Luo Nan’s gaze piercing through the hologram and falling on her face. That gaze had not moved for quite a while.
She lifted her chin slightly and barraged Luo Nan with blinking eyes: “What do you think? Beautiful right!”
Whether she was referring to her looks or to her control skills, well that's where opinions may differ.
Luo Nan didn’t reply. His gaze swayed slightly, but soon he withdrew his eyes back.
Miss Zhang Yingying was naturally beautiful; she wasn’t scared of people looking at her. Moreover, there was a game to play. She had to wait till she played her fill before talking more.
Light and shadow crisscrossed and blurred within the closed room. Time followed a different form to flow pass at lightning speeds.
The battle in the wilderness didn't stop since it had begun. The game continued until a phone call interrupted things to inform Zhang Yingying of the latest news.
“The investigations are done…… What time is it? Damn, we battled long through the night.”
The register below the hologram displayed the game round, game time, and real time all at once. One could see that it was already 4:50 AM on the 28th. Luo Nan and Zhang Yingying had already duked it out for 200 rounds to take up nearly 7 hours of time.
“It sure is a godly work of art to be able to kill this much time……”
Luo Nan took a few deep breaths. He wasn’t tired from playing the game for such a long time, on the contrary his brain was situated in an extremely excited state.
