First Player

Chapter ·【Under the Sun】

【Ten minutes ago】

"preparation!!!"

With a loud shout, the roar of explosives exploded, and iron powder flew everywhere.

Edward raised his head, swept away the dust in front of him, and looked at the white cross-like building in front of him. Their resistance forces finally broke into Central City.

Not only the endless mechanical army, but also the city-state residents who spontaneously blocked them, which caused them a lot of trouble. There were even many other players who liked the number one player, and under the leadership of Lu Shu, they spontaneously stood in front of them.

——Whether it is Asa Akto or Su Mingan himself, they are both loved by everyone. There will always be people who will protect them no matter the cost or fear of life and death.

Fortunately, Edward's combat power has reached 2,500. The higher the combat power, the gap between players increases exponentially, and hundreds of players are no match for his time domain.

When the blue consumption was about to bottom out - Edward and others finally arrived here covered in scars.

In front of us is the towering Central City Building, which is a shining pearl in the land of measurement.

It is the political core and scientific research core of the city-state, storing the most advanced technologies in the three fields of machinery, biochemistry, and artificial intelligence. The city-state's most elite researchers study here, and the dazzling leader Acto is their teacher.

Now, it has been blocked for a long time, and the building is covered with cobwebs and dust, as if no one has been there for a long time.

"boom--!!!"

The firelight passed by and the explosives made a violent explosion. The iron door of the building was so hard that the rebels could not open it.

"Quick! Fast! People are coming from behind, we can't be blocked here!" Player Natalie commanded anxiously.

"I'll do it." Seeing this, Edward drank a bottle of blue-recovering medicine.

He opened his arms, and the blue clock appeared behind him. The light and shadow overlapped at this moment, converging into a radiant shock wave——

The blue light blasted towards the iron gate, like a surging wave or a ferocious dragon.

"boom--!!"

Wherever the blue light touched, the iron door began to melt and decay rapidly. Iron powder scattered like a cracked sandcastle, and even defensive firearms turned into broken parts.

Looking at this scene that was like depriving time of gods, the rebels holding guns showed envy in their eyes - the door that could not be opened by artillery fire was blasted open by this magician-like power.

Sure enough, it is right to obey [Tavi]. Only power from other worlds can help them build a better city-state...

In Edward's live broadcast room, barrages were flying wildly:

【Really won! His Highness Edward has entered Central City! ! ! 】

[Is this Central City so desolate? There is no one there, and the only conspicuous building is this cross building? 】

[Central City seems to be an underground city, built underground. Of course we can't see it on the surface. 】

[This dungeon is so cool. Players are not just cannon fodder like before. We can really change the situation! ! What a sense of participation! 】

[This is all thanks to His Highness Edward. He defeated an entire mechanical army by himself. He is not crazy. I don’t know who made up such a slander! 】

【Always support His Highness——! ! 】

[Uh, I'm here to visit, just wait for Su Ming'an to beat Edward down. 】

[Why are there still people supporting Edward? Do you only care about face? 】

【……】

Edward had been looking forward to facing off against Su Mingan in a non-peak competitive copy.

He had failed miserably, but now the organizers accepted him and he had a powerful special identity.

Under the shouts of the people, as the leader, he took the first step - broke into the ruined building -

In the building filled with catkin-like dust, the afternoon sun shines down through a skylight, like a layer of soft golden gauze on the iron sheet. In the center of the arc-shaped building is a quiet elevator. People standing on the iron platform can vaguely see the bottomless underground area under the gap.

In the center of their eyes was a young man in a wheelchair.

Like fireflies among the dust, Su Mingan was bathed in the light, with a calm and peaceful expression, as if he was not surprised by their arrival. Around him, outside of the circular halo, everything was shrouded in shadow.

Only his area was dazzling.

"——Asa Aktor!!"

Angry shouts rose up, and people's eyes were firmly fixed on the city lord.

At this time, in their eyes, the glorious city lord was like an evil dragon living in the ruins, waiting for the "heroes" to attack him.

"Click-click--" the sound of propellers came from the air, and the news station's helicopter came to high altitude to broadcast live the situation in the building through the skylight.

Through their lenses, Asa Akto was sitting quietly in a wheelchair. There were no powerful robot guards around him, no androids taking care of him, and not even an artificial intelligence avatar.

All the sophisticated power he could control was not with him. He seemed to be waiting in the ruins with empty hands, one person and one chair.

This strange scene, like a boss battle, briefly frightened people.

But not long after, someone broke the silence.

"——My whole life has been controlled by that intelligence, and I have lived like a machine! It's all because of your city-state system!"

This is a middle-aged man with a ferocious face.

"——I want to engage in art, why do I have to be with motor oil! This is not the life I want!"

This is a young man wearing workshop work clothes.

"——Why should my mother have to do the lowest job her whole life just because she has an inferior personality?"

This is a childish student.

As if they wanted to vent all their anger, people's noisy words overlapped together, like the screams of countless families.

But no shots were fired at this time.

Faced with the city lord who only appeared in legendary history and TV broadcasts, they began to hesitate.

…What are they going to do next?

...Kill the city lord?

But what happens after killing him? Where should they go from here?

After this, do they really want to completely hand over the city-state to [Tavi]?

...If we can get help from him while keeping our own world safe, that would be the best ending. Instead of dying together with the City of Measurement...

In their focused gaze, the young-looking city lord raised his head.

He smiled softly in front of the city's live TV broadcast.

"I remember..." he said: "The city-state did not block your route out of the city."

Facing this mighty group of black beetles, his eyes were very quiet:

“If you feel that the system is not suitable, you can leave at any time and find the life you want.

I did not lock you up and force you to become so-called city-state slaves. "

The condemnation died down.

But soon, an aunt said:

"How can that be done! There is a danger zone outside - we will be killed by the turbulence!"

"Oh, that's it." Su Mingan said.

His eyes became colder little by little.

“So, in order to live a life that is risk-free and that can satisfy your desires, you must attack me with great righteousness - attack the city lord who established this safe zone and allowed millions of people to survive.

perhaps--"

Su Mingan made a "hush" gesture with his finger, and a man in a suit next to him who wanted to retort turned pale and shut up.

"Perhaps, you are more suitable to live in Doomsday City, being played by the Ten Cities like monkeys, and you don't have to have enough to eat like you do today.

Some people are simply not worth saving. "

Listening to Su Mingan's plain words, people's faces turned red and white.

Seeing this, Edward took a step forward and sneered: "That's enough, Su Mingan... No, Akto, you are just a guy who has been shadowed by the times. What qualifications do you have -"

Su Mingan glanced at him.

"I didn't talk to the dog."
