Throughout Sprawling City, a task prompt popped up in front of all players.
It asked players if they wanted to accept the task of rushing to support Silver City.
The Heroic Sniper readily accepted the task and scrolled to the bottom of the task description, wanting to know what rewards this large-scale task offered.
Generous credit points, a [Silver City Identity Card], and a commemorative badge.
And—
[Mind Cube]!
[Mind Cube: Can be used to enlighten wisdom and bestow higher intelligence upon specific NPCs!]
This item shocked him greatly!
That "Frost Snow Project " would fully support VR did surprise him somewhat.
However, the "Frost Snow Project" team had been testing and probing for the past month or two, so everyone was already psychologically prepared for this.
But the [Mind Cube] was something completely unexpected!
The Heroic Sniper stared wide-eyed at the simple item description.
Higher intelligence?!
"Is it like them?"
He subconsciously turned his head to look at the four characters, He Yin, Fei Yun, Bai Wei, and A Sang.
From the moment they met until now, there had been no obstacles in communicating with these four characters!
It wasn't just communication.
—The rope ladder was something the players made themselves; it wasn't a fixed facility in the game.
But the four girls easily grabbed the rope ladder and climbed up quickly.
The richness of their actions, expressions, and tone changes made them seem more like real people than the intelligent NPCs in Sprawling City!
The Heroic Sniper even suspected that these NPCs were actors hired by DreamForge.
The only thing he wasn't satisfied with about these characters was that they didn't recognize him.
But now, DreamForge was planning to give everyone a [Mind Cube]!
"Is this considered compensation?"
"I can't directly dominate a wife in the virtual world, but I can use this item—which is actually DreamForge's invincible AI technology—to create a real cyber-wife for myself!"
The Heroic Sniper understood these points and immediately cheered up.
His previous disappointment vanished!
Sharing a dozen wives with millions of players, or having one wife entirely to himself?
Of course, he would unhesitatingly choose the latter!
He immediately began calling on his viewers to log in and do the task: "Brothers! Log in, log in!!"
"We're starting something big!"
Did his viewers even need him to urge them?
"Did you even need to say that?"
"You're only calling us to log in now? I'm already at the station!"
"Turn around! Your daddy has arrived!"
… …
The roar of motorcycles sounded from behind, and motorcycles swarmed out of the tunnel!
"Wife! I'm here to help you!!"
"He Yin, He Yin!! I missed you so much!"
"New hairstyle is super cute! Let's go! Come home with me!"
"Wei Wei! Do you want to go for a ride? My motorcycle is very fast!!"
… …
The Heroic Sniper looked at this group of simps, his head filled with black lines.
However, this group was the most motivated. As early as when he saw the characters on the pickup truck through his telescope, they had already set off to rush over here.
Those who arrived first were these players who cared most about the characters.
Illusory Moon was also one of these people.
However, when he arrived at the station, it was already overcrowded.
This severely limited his speed, so he was still stuck in the tunnel at this moment.
Then, he heard a terrifying sound from behind—
"Woo— — — —"
That was… the sound of a train horn!
"? ? ?"
Illusory Moon couldn't help but look back, and found that a bright spot in the distance was rapidly approaching!
"Run!" A terrified shout came from behind, "That derailed sky-rail has been started up!"
This tunnel could hardly be considered spacious!
If there were only a few motorcycles, they could hide on both sides of the track.
But now it was densely packed with people, where could they hide?!
For a time, the beeping of motorcycle horns rang out in unison.
Everyone was stepping on the accelerator, wishing they could fly!
But their speed was still far too slow compared to the sky-rail train!
Illusory Moon watched as the train's headlights got closer and closer, brighter and brighter…
He closed his eyes in despair.
… …
Outside the tunnel, the Heroic Sniper heard a loud whistle.
Then, he saw a large pile of motorcycles and players stacked together, being "smashed" out of the tunnel by the sky-rail train like a large pile of garbage!
They crashed and fell in a chaotic mess.
Motorcycle parts flew everywhere, turning into a pile of garbage.
Players' corpses also flew around, and a large number of them died.
The Heroic Sniper looked at a corpse rolling to his feet, and was shocked to find—the corpse just happened to have the words [Illusory Moon] on its head.
The latest novels are first published on !
"What a coincidence?" He stretched out his right foot and kicked the corpse's butt.
The next second, a private message lit up:
[Illusory Moon: You motherfucker! Stop kicking!]
"Hahahaha." The Heroic Sniper was in a great mood and immediately replied to him.
[Heroic Sniper: Hahahahaha, Illusory Moon VS Train, current score—0:1, keep up the good work!]
[Illusory Moon: Damn it, who would have thought that the train had been paralyzed there for more than a month, and so many people wanted to start it but couldn't, but it would suddenly start up now!]
[Heroic Sniper: Run back quickly, people are getting off the train.]
The Heroic Sniper closed the private message and looked at the train.
The doors opened, and a large group of NPCs carried supplies off the train.
Boxes of weapons and ammunition were directly brought to the players, free for them to take.
Workers in uniforms started working on the spot, building a drop elevator, and unloading stacks of steel rails from the train, preparing to repair the broken rails.
Of course, engineering operations in the virtual world are much faster than in reality.
NPC workers were wearing powered exoskeletons and driving small engineering vehicles, maximizing efficiency.
In just a few minutes, this place had become a large construction site.
There were even foremen running over to recruit players and issue side quests.
Players who were short of money didn't mind at all, and immediately started mixing cement, carrying building materials, and pulling steel cables, working enthusiastically.
When Illusory Moon and other players were sent over by the train, the simple drop elevator had already been completed.
Batches of players were being dropped to the bottom of the cliff.
Huge steel structure pillars were driven into the rock walls, steel cables were pulling the rails to provide support, and the originally broken rails were quickly extended to the wasteland.
Then, without stopping, they continued to build towards Silver City.
The horizon of the wasteland began to wriggle again.
Unsurprisingly, the ant tide launched an indiscriminate attack on the players, NPCs, and rails!
But this time, the players were already prepared!
Thousands of players wielding flamethrowers and grenade launchers fearlessly sprayed large swathes of flames at the ant swarm.
Viscous fuel was spread along the outside of the rails, quickly ignited after the ant swarm arrived, and the flames lasted for a long time.
Further away, the ant swarm gathered into large spheres and rolled towards the rails.
But the grenade launchers immediately bombarded those obvious targets.
Some people even had grenade launchers made of gold.
And the hit rate of the grenades they fired was often very high!
One by one, huge ant balls were blown apart by the shells.
Seemingly realizing that this trick was ineffective, the ant swarm changed again—
This time, they actually turned into a huge rhinoceros!
"What the hell!" The Heroic Sniper immediately complained, "I can understand you guys forming into a ball, but directly turning into animals is too outrageous, isn't it?"
"Are we even talking about physics anymore?!"
Of course not.
Before he could finish speaking, elephants, wild boars, hedgehogs, tigers, and flying birds formed by the ant swarm appeared one after another, charging towards the line.
In front of the NPCs building the rails, the players desperately poured out even more intense firepower!
Ammunition supplies were rapidly consumed.
The large creatures simulated by the ant swarm also fell one after another.
… …
NPC workers were building the rails forward meter by meter.
Trains constantly transported ammunition and building materials from the rear.
In this constantly moving battle mode, the players' line became longer and longer, and ammunition consumption became more and more terrifying.
Soon, the ammunition sent by the train began to not keep up with consumption.
The players began to divide into logistics teams, using motorcycles, small cars, and even their own legs to transport supplies from the rear!
The battle quickly entered a white-hot stage!
