“For a hundred-kilometer-wide island, it is estimated to be a lot more difficult to wipe out the island, especially when they are moving out at night.” Upon encountering difficult monsters when they were embarking to the island, some people could not help but mutter about the difficulty of these wastelands.
“There is no need to wipe it out entirely. From the information we have from the previous missions, there are only ten types of monsters on the island in total. In each monster’s cluster area, there is a research base. Theoretically, the Quasi-Boss class Pet Chip should be in the base. Additionally, other than the ten sub-bases, there is a general research base in the core area of the island, so there might be a Boss class Pet Chip inside. That is to say, we really only need to deal with these eleven research bases and finish off the monsters within.” Zi Wei stood at a slightly higher position, as she used the loudspeaker to tell the players who were recuperating after embarking to the island.
After entering the island, the communication tools were in a state of serious interference and estimated that for some reason, the Nine-Star Guild executives did not disclose the line of command within the hidden occupations of which was able to restore the communication devices.
At this time, they could only communicate through loud speaking.
The words Zi Wei said, was actually the information the players obtained from the Nine-Star Guild. However, there had to be players who did not read through them thoroughly, and she explained it again.
“This wasteland island is a triangle, and we entered in this direction of the island, near our side there are a total of four research bases.” Frontline Command opened an instrument in hand, projecting a large triangular map of the island in the sky.
“According to previous information, the SK Guild should have landed on this side, and their side also has four research bases.” Frontline Command pointed to some of the spots on the map which emitted yellow light.
“However, the last two sub-bases are on the third side of the island, about the same distance from our position. These two places are likely to have to be decided by competition. Of course, at the general research base in the center, there is a conflict there, it might be the final battle to decide victory. When the time comes, I really need to depend on everybody.” Zi Wei said with a smile.
“Haha… Vice-Director Zi Wei, please relax. We will help your guild complete this duty.”
“Hey, I heard that there are a lot of local tycoons in North City. However, it is clear that their fighting strength can not be compared to us in Storm City…”
“Since we have joined, we would definitely do our best.”
Players around the area responded.
Of course, in addition to these people who have expressed their emotions, someone had thought of an issue.
“Wait a minute, Vice-Director Zi Wei, according to your instructions, we first sweep the sub-bases then enter the main base, yes? Since there are Boss Chips in the main base, why don’t we just take the base first and then clean up the sub-bases?” Some players sounded out their qualms with a puzzled voice.
There are Quasi-Boss Chips in the sub-base, but there might be Boss Chips in the primary base.
The estimate of whether ten Quasi-Boss Chips or one Boss Chip is more useful, this type of estimate depends on each individual.
In terms of the price obtained from selling at an auction, a Boss Chip is more expensive than ten Quasi-Boss Chips.
Most of the players who participated wanted to get the high-level Chips not for credits.
There was no denying that some players value the credits that the Chip represented, and was carrying the hope of selling them off for credits. In particular, some scattered players.
“It’s not a bad idea, but I feel that we should combine our powers and take down the general base, this way, we can guarantee that we will obtain the Boss Chip. If we don’t go about doing this way, if the people in North City do it this way, then the Boss Chip will end up in their hands.” A player who was fully soaked and patting health points supplements shouted loudly.
Feng Luo scanned the area and discovered that it was the Scout player who had fallen into the water in front of them.
Previously no one wanted to save him, this guy nearly died in the sea because of persistent poisoning. At the moment, he was not looking too well, but his eyes were constantly turning.
“After analyzing the information given on the mission, we thought that the difficulty of the main base is very high, there should be a Boss existing inside. If we attack it hastily, we might suffer huge losses. However, these sub-bases are much less difficult than they are, at best, only Quasi-Boss level monsters. With our strength, in the case of open terrain, as long as we are coordinating appropriately, we should not suffer that much of a loss. More importantly, there are restraining messages and items in these sub-bases that are targeted at the corresponding kind of monster. Like special antidotes… Just now those lizards were highly toxic. A fighter without special antidotes trapped in an enclosed space, even one who was a heavy-armor fighter, would not be able to hold out for long.” Zi Wei’s face did not change much, she only glared at him for a while before explaining. “I think the people of North City would not go directly to the main base.”
…
“President Park, have you heard anything? The people of Storm City should have arrived.”
While the players of Storm City were getting ready for their operation, on the other side of the triangular island, a large group of players boarded the island after killing some monsters.
On top of a large luxury cruise ship a kilometer from the island, a group of North City Guild executives was surrounding a middle-aged player with a golden badge with the “SK” flying bird pattern on his chest asked.
“Yes, they have arrived. Like us, they met the first wave of monsters when they landed on the island. It is not clear how much damage has been done because of the disruption of communication after entering the island, plus entering the operation state when we got to the island, so we are unable to transmit information on our own will like how we did on the ship. However, yesterday they met two Quasi-Bosses on the open sea, which damaged dozens of people. Because of that, the total number of people could not be compared to us.” The middle-aged player wore decorated gold-wire glasses and had a mild temperament, but there was a slight glint in his eyes.
It made him seem more like a successful businessman instead of the president of a super-guild.
“It was due to President Park’s contacts that we were able to find people who were willing to help us transmit information in such a short time. Having the advantage of communication and the difference in numbers makes us undefeatable.” Several other guild executives also had a smile on their faces.
The Top Executives of the Northern City Guild were not surprised that the SK Guild had placed a spy in the Storm City’s wastelands players.
This game was not like reality. Here, it was easy to buy people over.
In particular, the Nine-Star Guild split their quota to scattered players since they wanted to build their reputation. As such, they had to take this risk.
“All of us were chosen from the major guilds so all of us can be trusted…” President Park looked around at the players and showed a confident expression on his face.
Of course, he still had a statement to make, in reality, it was still okay if they were not trustable.
Now that the players who participated in the mission, upon entering the island, the system had prompted that they were unable to go offline and unable to receive news from outside.
If they were forced offline, or because of some emergency messages and had to go offline, then the players would be controlled by the system until the end of the mission, they were unable to go back online.
This means that even if there were spies among their North City players, they would be unable to pass information to their people in the Nine-Star Guild due to the disruption of communication on the island.
He only revealed his tactical arrangement after the people entered the islands, as they could not possibly pass the information to the players from Storm City.
“They would think we’re not going to clean up the sub-bases first, but instead we’re going to save strength and send someone through internally to look for their location. In time, as long as we win the team fight, the spoils of their bases will be ours.”
The masterminds of the North City guild all had smiles on their faces.
…
Players in both cities took different strategic tactics at the start of the mission.
A dozen nautical miles away on the last side of the triangular island, several large armed pirate ships were resting on the grey surface of the sea.
On the flagship deck of the fleet of weapons, a middle-aged NPC pirate leader with a scar on his face slowly lowered his telescope and mouthed, “It’s almost time, set sail!”
Behind this pirate leader were hundreds of heavily armed pirates and a dozen people covered in black cloth, carrying two slender knives; quirkily dressed NPCs, and several NPC scientists wearing technology glasses who were protected by these people.
Of course, “dressing up oddly” was targeting the people of Star Gaming.
Seeing how these dozens of NPC dressed up, if they were to let Feng Luo see them, he must have related them to the class back on earth called “ninjas.”
In addition to hundreds of pirates and “ninjas,” there were about a hundred players on the pirate ship.
At this point, these players were talking to each other excitedly as they looked at the sky which was starting to darken.
“The federal camp players in Storm City and North City wouldn’t have thought that this mission would have us participating in addition to them. Pet Chips were already the advantage of our Rebel Camp, how can the system give them such advantageous technology in an instant?”
“I’d like to thank the Nine-Star Guild and the SK Guild for making this matter so high-profile. If we are able to obtain the final victory, everyone would turn famous immediately.”
From the discussions these people were having, it can be seen that the players on this ship are players of the Rebel Camp, and their purpose was also the Pet Chip relic.
“I’m only worried it isn’t this easy. The people from both sides are high-skilled experts and star players.” Although these people were most excited and uneasy, there were people who still mentioned it.
“What star players? Aren’t they just people with better equipment and then blowing it up with more money? We are the Elites chosen from the camp. In terms of potential, I am confident that we would not be inferior to those star players. What’s more, other than our advantage in the pet’s aspect, we also have the NPC pirates’ aid. Most importantly, we have this stealth mission so when we enter the island, the final victory belongs to us. I can’t wait to see the people from the federal camps expressions.”
