Chapter 153: Mission Failure, Elimination

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

As expected of a boss monster ranked in the top ten, it took Chu Luo and her team more than two hours to kill it.

During this period, [Dream Slayer] was almost KO-ed. Fortunately, [Bai Ling] blocked it for him.

The five of them fought the monster seriously. There were several times where those watching the live broadcast experienced tension and excitement that made them feel worry before it was replaced by relief.

“Huff… exciting, exciting. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such an exciting battle. As expected of [Bai Ling]. I have to admit that I’m impressed with her technique.”

“I really can’t reconcile that mysterious and beautiful girl with the game’s [Bai Ling]. The contrast is too great.”

“Those people who said before that girls can’t play ‘Battle of Lightyears,’ do you feel your faces hurting now? [Bai Ling]’s techniques are even better than those of you men. Do you have anything to say?”

“One word—convinced! I’m convinced.”

“I heard that [Bai Ling] is very good at using the empire’s Thirty-six Stratagems. I wonder if she will use it this time?”

“Based on the place where they were teleported, they won’t be fighting other players. If she can use the stratagems on the big bosses, I’ll call her Daddy directly!”

After Chu Luo and her team defeated the big boss, they saw something drop from his body.

[Carefree Wanderer] walked over to pick it up.

The items that fell were all top-grade, but they were equipment or weapons that they had no use for right now.

[Turbid Liquor Glutton] followed him to take a look at the equipment and said, “These are all top-grade items. Who cares if they’re useful? We can just pick them up first.”

The others also walked over.

[Bai Ling]: “Can anyone see if these weapons can be combined?”

[Intoxicated]: “I’ll do it.”

After saying that, he threw all the weapons and equipment into the synthesizer. After a while, he actually synthesized a treasure chest.

The treasure chest floated in front of them and they exclaimed in surprise.

Xie Mingtao said, “These things actually combined into a treasure chest. Could it be that the gaming team specially prepared this for us participants?”

Tang Zhiyun said, “In any case, let’s open the treasure chest first.”

With that, he opened the treasure chest.

When the treasure chest opened, inside was actually a key that was flickering with golden light. The key floated in the air. Not only did the five of them find it strange, but even everyone who was watching their competition also felt the same. There was another round of discussion and speculation in the outside world.

Chu Luo said, “Put away the key first. Since these things can be synthesized into something else, they must be helpful to us. Let’s continue walking and see how we can get out of here.”

Not long after that, “Phoenix Skies Legend” encountered another big boss. Again, it took more than two hours to deal with the big boss. Similarly, after they defeated the big boss, weapons dropped from it and something else was synthesized.

During lunch, they discussed their strategy for the afternoon while eating.

Tang Zhiyun said, “I feel that we will encounter a big boss again in the afternoon.”

Xie Mingtao immediately chimed in, “I think so too. My seventh sense as a man tells me that the gaming team has sent all the crazy big bosses ranked in the top ten to light-years away. We have to eliminate all of them before we can leave.”

Xu Qingfeng frowned. “We managed to defeat only two big bosses in the morning. There isn’t enough time at all.”

“That’s why we have to change our approach in the afternoon,” Chu Luo said. “Since it’s the grand finals, the gaming team definitely won’t let us leave so easily.”

Xie Minghai asked, “What should we do, then?”

Tang Zhiyun said, “Did you notice that we can synthesize all the things that the bosses have dropped? If I am not mistaken, what we synthesized is the key to leaving this place.”

“That’s right. That’s why we have to speed up. If all ten bosses really appear, we have to get rid of them all before midnight tonight.”

The five of them discussed as they ate. The cameraman dutifully recorded their conversation but didn’t release it to the public.

Mealtime wasn’t broadcasted live. When the higher-ups of the gaming group heard their discussion, they couldn’t help but praise their intelligence.

“Indeed, those who know how to use the Thirty-six Stratagems of the Empire aren’t ordinary. I think their discussions can be placed as Easter eggs after the competition ends. This way, it can increase the click rate further.”

The game continued in the afternoon.

2:25 PM.

World News:

[Team No. 3 failed their mission and is eliminated!]

When this news was released, everyone exploded.

The audience watched as they were swept into the black hole, but the other nine teams were dumbfounded.

“D*mn! A team was eliminated so early. This match is indeed not simple.”

All the teams tensed up and prepared for tough challenges to come.

“I wonder who will be the second to be eliminated?”

3:40 PM.

World News:

[Team No. 8 failed their mission and is eliminated!]

Two out of the ten teams were eliminated in half a day. The other teams got even more worried.

The forum was filled with discussions.

“Boohoo… Team No. 8, whom I had my eye on, was actually eliminated so early. I’m so sad!”

“As expected, this competition isn’t simple. In just a few hours, two teams have been eliminated. I wonder which team will be eliminated next?”

“I think it would be Team No. 5, ‘Phoenix Skies Legend.’ Based on the trend of the big bosses they’ve encountered, all ten of the crazy bosses must be there.”

“I think so too. If they really encounter the ten bosses, no matter how powerful [Bai Ling] is, she’ll probably become exhausted.”

Just as everyone was thinking that “Phoenix Skies Legend” would be the third to be eliminated, Chu Luo and her team had already formulated a battle plan.

After that, everyone was so shocked that they forgot that there were other teams. Everyone stared at how “Phoenix Skies Legend” used the empire’s military arts and strategies on those big bosses.

From four in the afternoon to midnight, the system announced the elimination of three more teams.

However, Chu Luo and her team had wiped out all ten bosses by two in the morning.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. When the audience saw that “Phoenix Skies Legend” had completed an impossible task, the entire Internet erupted.

Even the senior official in the gaming group couldn’t help but say in praise, “There’s a saying in the empire that women aren’t inferior to men. Indeed, we can’t underestimate anyone, especially women. [Bai Ling]’s excellence in the game has reached an unparalleled level.”

“Wrong. Only that person can match the excellence of [Bai Ling]. Unfortunately, the difference in their statuses is too great. I suddenly hope that [Bai Ling]’s identity in real life is as everyone has guessed, that of a princess of a certain country.”

These words received everyone’s agreement.

In the CEO’s office on the top floor of the gaming company building.

Secretary Tan knocked on the door twice before pushing it open and entering.

At this moment, Li Yan was sitting on the sofa and looking at the wall monitor.

It was a live broadcast of the competition. Li Yan didn’t look at the other contestants and only looked at Team “Phoenix Skies Legend.” The television was 200 inches long. On one side was the game, and on the other was Chu Luo, who was focused on playing the game.

“Master,” Secretary Tan greeted as he walked over.

Li Yan didn’t retract his gaze from the television and said to him directly, “Get the gaming team to close all the entrances to where their team is and let her rest for a few hours.”

Secretary Tan froze. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he simply said, “Yes.”

Then, he turned around and left.

When Secretary Tan walked out of the CEO’s office, he couldn’t help but sigh. “Master really dotes on Miss Chu. However, I wonder if Miss Chu will appreciate his gesture?”

After Chu Luo and her team defeated the ten bosses, they took out all ten synthesized items.

“Keys, wings, engines… There are even fuel crystals?” Xie Minghai controlled his game character to circle around the ten items as he muttered, “Why do I feel like I can’t understand what these things mean?”

The others were also thinking about what these things meant.

Xu Qingfeng said, “Could it be a hint from the system?”

Xie Minghai didn’t expect that at all. “What hint?”

At this moment, Chu Luo and Tang Zhiyun looked at each other.

Tang Zhiyun said, “These can be used to build interstellar warships.”

“Yes.” Chu Luo guessed, “Maybe they want us to build an Interstellar Spacecraft so that we can leave this place.”

“Yeah!” Xie Minghai slammed the table. “That must be it.”

“There’s nothing outside of light-years. How are we going to build an Interstellar Spacecraft?”

Everyone fell silent again.

Even the audience standing in front of the computer fell into deep thought.

At this moment, the words “Light-years away is entering a dormant state. Players, please be mentally prepared” suddenly appeared in the void.

Everyone: “…”

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

When the game characters froze on the spot, everyone was left with a dumbfounded expression.

“No way!” Xie Minghai was the first to cry out. “At the critical moment, we actually entered a dormant state!”

The guys turned to look at the staff sitting beside them.

The staff was also dumbfounded.

He had never heard of such a thing as light-years away “entering a dormant state.”

He quickly comforted them. “Don’t be anxious. I’ll call and ask around.”

With that, he took out his phone.

He was about to dial when his phone rang first.

After the staff finished answering the call, he said to them, “They said that entering a dormant state is also one of the steps of the mission.”

He then suggested, “Why don’t you guys rest for a few hours?”

“A few hours?” Tang Zhiyun asked with a frown. “Time is so tight. You have to tell us how many hours we will be in a dormant state.”

“Not much, not much. Just four hours.”

“F*ck! Four hours, that long?”

The boys started to get cranky.

Chu Luo thought for a while. She had a nagging feeling that this situation must have been caused by a certain baddie. She gritted her teeth and said to the group, “You guys rest first. I’ll go out for a walk.”

After saying that, she stood up and walked out.

“Junior.” Tang Zhiyun stood up and followed her. “Where are you going? I will go with you.”

“We’ll go with you.”

“No need. You guys rest first. If you can’t sleep, think about what those ten things are for.”

After saying that, she walked out.
