The 'Gatling Fireworks' have an incredibly dazzling visual effect!
The instant the trigger is pulled, the 10 firework barrels rotate at high speed, emitting blue flames.
Dense fireworks erupt, smashing down on Xu Meng's cover!
The continuous explosions completely fill Xu Meng and his teammates' vision with red, yellow, purple, and green fireworks, flying paper scraps, and thick white smoke, making it impossible to see anything else.
Two 'Gatling Fireworks' launchers created an ultra-strong suppressive fire effect!
Xu Meng's team, suppressed, had no power to fight back.
It's only because this thing's suppressive power is unmatched, but the damage isn't great, that Xu Meng didn't immediately ascend to heaven.
But it's only a matter of time—
Because the 'Two-Stage Rocket' was coming next.
The cover in front of Xu Meng was instantly shattered!
—If it were just that, an ordinary RPG could do the same.
The special thing about the 'Two-Stage Rocket' is:
It has two stages of damage.
At the same time, blue flames spewed out from the tail again!
"Holy crap!! Mach diamonds!??"
Beside Xu Meng, the brave sniper was shocked and bewildered, almost thinking he was seeing things.
But the next second he knew: he wasn't mistaken.
Because Xu Meng ascended to heaven.
After being directly hit by the two-stage attack of this 'Two-Stage Rocket,' he was propelled off the ground by the powerful force of the rocket's second explosion, shooting into the sky!
Everyone stared blankly, tilting their heads to watch Xu Meng being pushed higher and higher, farther and farther away by a stream of blue flames.
The miserable screams of "Ahhh!" faded into the distance.
Until—
"Boom!!!"
Exploding into a large cloud of gorgeous colored smoke in the sky!
Like a plum blossom blooming in the snow in the sky.
At the center of the battlefield, both enemy and friendly forces fell silent.
The brave sniper and Orange Juice, who were hiding next to Xu Meng and narrowly avoided the 'Two-Stage Rocket,' both shivered.
—Just a little bit more, and they would have ascended to heaven!
"Good! Accurate! Hahahaha!"
"Awesome! Mach 8 diamonds! This isn't an RPG, it's a fighter jet!"
"I'm dying of laughter, Boss Xu's screams are so beautiful."
"Is this a sky burial?"
"Thank you, Boss Xu, for letting me witness the legendary cremation fireworks! The flame color reaction is indeed beautiful!"
"Not enough! Again! Again!!"
… …
In the live broadcast rooms of several streamers, the players watched Xu Meng being sent to heaven by the weapon they designed, blasted into ashes with no burial place, all laughing wildly and excitedly spamming the chat.
—Even if several streamers ascended to heaven together, it wouldn't have been as explosive as Xu Meng's ascension!
And this also foreshadowed Xu Meng's upcoming fate.
The first thing he said after resurrecting was:
"That wasn't me screaming just now."
"Is that what you're most concerned about?" Orange Juice was stunned. "Then who was screaming?"
Seven Flowers nudged Orange Juice's shoulder, trying to smooth things over for Xu Meng, "We understand, it wasn't you screaming, we misheard."
"???" Xu Meng was stunned by Seven Flowers.
Hey girl, I'm touched that you want to save my face.
But you can't say it like that!
"It really wasn't me screaming! That was a sound effect I added to the 'Two-Stage Rocket' because I was afraid that players who got hit wouldn't react, and it would be too boring."
"???" This time it was the brave sniper's turn to have question marks popping up over his head.
"You mean... it wasn't you screaming just now, it was the rocket screaming???"
Xu Meng opened his mouth, and finally said helplessly: "Pretty much."
The live broadcast room was once again flooded with a tidal wave of "???" and "Hahaha" comments.
Around the battlefield, a group of people were holding back their laughter.
Seven Flowers couldn't hold it in anymore, and burst out laughing without even covering her mouth.
Xu Meng glanced at her and said, "Your red envelope is gone."
Seven Flowers: "???"
Before she could ask, the enemy had already noticed Xu Meng again, and a barrage of attacks poured down on his location!
Countless enemies didn't care about their own lives at all, grabbing their weapons and charging towards Xu Meng's position.
If they had even a slight chance, they would shoot Xu Meng a couple of times.
Whether it was spitting melon seeds at him, launching dumplings, or just using plain bullets, they used whatever they had!
These people even threw in a few auspicious words while attacking Xu Meng:
"Boss Xu! Happy New Year!"
"Boss Xu! Wishing you become a millionaire!"
"Boss Xu, Happy Early New Year!!"
This was almost becoming Xu Meng's nightmare—no matter where he appeared, no matter where he hid, there would be a constant stream of enemies coming to find him.
Xu Meng was constantly getting face-rushed and dying frequently.
The game experience was extremely poor!
Correspondingly, because everyone was rushing Xu Meng, Xu Meng's teammates had a pretty good game experience.
Especially the three streamers, the brave sniper and the others, were having a great time racking up kills!
—When they played by themselves, they were also the ones being targeted.
This experience of not being targeted at all was also rare!
So everyone was having a particularly good time.
Although Xu Meng's game experience was very poor, his teammates had tried their best to protect him after all.
Therefore, after the game ended, Xu Meng took out a stack of red envelopes and scattered them.
These red envelopes went into his teammates' backpacks.
Then they regrouped and fought the second game!
In this game, they became the Germans, and no longer had the dark camouflage on their faces.
Plus, the news of Xu Meng's appearance had already spread.
For a time, he was hunted down even more fiercely!
Xu Meng had no choice but to point at his teammates and loudly alert the enemy the moment the battle began:
"Look! The Heroic Sniper is over here!"
"Go and catch him! He's a major streamer with five million followers! Isn't that enough clout to warrant a chase?!"
"Look over there! That one! Orange Juice! A million followers, a seasoned expert in second-dimension games, with tons of female players among his fans! Can you really justify not killing him?!"
"And then there's Qi Huahua! A virtual idol! I'm telling you, I've seen her in real life, she's super pretty! And her personality is so sweet and endearing, what a great target! Go get her!"
"And this pink-haired one..."
The most up-to-date novels are available first on !
Xiao Meng: *stare* —
"Uh, never mind about that one."
"In short! There are so many targets you could kill, why are you all staring at me?!"
Heroic Sniper × Orange Juice × Qi Huahua: "???"
Upon hearing this 'water ghost' speech, the players rushing over from the opposite side didn't hesitate for even a moment, instantly bypassing those three targets and continuing to launch fireworks and throw [Get Rich] grenades at Xu Meng.
While attacking, they responded to Xu Meng's words—
"Next time, for sure!!"
The plan to divert the streamers' aggro was declared a failure on the spot.
Heroic Sniper, Orange Juice, and Qi Huahua all felt a strange mix of emotions.
"This is the first time I've felt that the words 'Next time, for sure' sound so pleasing..." Heroic Sniper couldn't help but complain.
"Yeah, yeah!" Orange Juice nodded repeatedly.
Only Qi Huahua was relatively reliable, urging, "Save him!"
Qi Huahua was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see Xu Meng besieged by a group of people, even if he was using such a 'water ghost' tactic.
But there was also good news:
His teammates were all very eager to protect Xu Meng.
The battlefield quickly spiraled out of control—
The enemy all wanted to rush to Xu Meng and wish him an early New Year.
The teammates, on the other hand, were doing their best to stop the enemy from rushing over and wishing Xu Meng a New Year's greeting.
More and more people gathered, and the intensity of the battle continued to escalate.
In the end, they forcefully turned the originally chaotic, every-man-for-himself mode into a "large-scale army" battle!
No one wanted the strongholds anymore; both sides were gathered around Xu Meng, fighting a tug-of-war around this one core.
Xu Meng felt like he had strayed into a bombing zone.
—Wherever he went, he would be bombed by the enemy!
And not just ordinary grenade launchers, but [Sweet Potato Grenade Launchers]!
Golden roasted sweet potatoes rained down from the sky, exploding wildly around him and his teammates, the warm, golden flesh flying everywhere.
The fragrance permeated the air.
Xu Meng was currently logged into the game using the [Dream Weaver].
All his senses were fully present, so naturally, he didn't lack a sense of smell.
General Dragon City had already gone home for the New Year, and the Dream Weaver's player testing wouldn't be expanded until after the holiday, so Xu Meng could only do it himself for now.
The official testing team was focused on testing the Dream Weaver's practical applications in key areas such as medicine, scientific research, and liberating productivity, and couldn't spare the time for entertainment areas like games.
—Even if they could, they wouldn't know where to start.
The application in the gaming field still had to be done by experts in the gaming field.
And when it came to gaming experts, Xu Meng was naturally second to none.
—He couldn't wait to test it out with his own body.
He could clearly smell the fragrance of the roasted sweet potatoes.
But the problem was that, in his settings, the [Sweet Potato Grenade Launcher] also caused a negative effect—
Players within the blast radius would involuntarily fart.
And the [farting] action would cause the player's model to tremble, which in turn would cause the gun's aim to deviate, reducing shooting accuracy.
This was originally just a small problem.
—"Grenade Launchers" were already a bit overpowered, and if they were given powerful effects, the damage to balance would be too severe.
But Xu Meng overlooked one problem:
The effect of farting wasn't just to reduce shooting accuracy.
It could also cause biochemical attacks on players!
Xu Meng was in the very center of the team, protected by layers of enthusiastic teammates.
Then the [Sweet Potato Grenade Launcher] bombardment arrived.
Listening to the "poof," "poof," "poof~~~" sounds of farting from all directions, Xu Meng belatedly realized:
Something was wrong!
Now, on this entire battlefield, even in this entire digital world, he was the only one who could smell the scent.
And he just happened to be in the very middle of the farting army!
The intense, suffocating stench of farts rushed into his nose!
The next moment, Xu Meng didn't hesitate to break his promise, secretly cheat, and use his developer privileges.
—He immediately started changing the code, trying to block his sense of smell!
He deeply realized that many things could only be correctly concluded after experiencing them firsthand.
Before, he always felt that [reality] was power, so the more real the virtual world was, the better!
But now, after being surrounded by a bunch of people and almost being fainted by a dozen stinky farts, he deeply realized:
Some things are indeed not better the more real they are!
'This smell must be severely weakened!'
"Boss Xu, what's wrong?" Qi Huahua was observant and was the first to notice that Xu Meng's expression was a bit unusual.
"I've realized something very important," Xu Meng replied in a heavy tone.
"Shouldn't you be happy then?" Heroic Sniper was puzzled. "Why do you look like you're about to die?"
"..." Xu Meng was silent for a few seconds.
The expression on his face became even more painful.
"That's because you don't know how painful this realization is!"
