My portable gaming girlfriend

boom--

"ah--!"

The giant ax was embedded in the wooden floor, and some players around were startled and screamed.

"That game is the same, and this game is also the same. All you meet are idiots who want to torture you! Hey! Turn on the PVP mode, otherwise I will throw him from here—"

Julian's claw pointed at the Zhuge scroll obliquely. As he said, although it would not affect life, being thrown from the airship would still be disastrous for the player...

"..."

Ye Yin looked at him in embarrassment, and finally the red light that symbolized the opening of the PVP mode still lit up on him. After all, things are also considered to be caused by themselves.

Giant axe, claw sleeves, flying kicks... In the next second, Julian's attacks poured down on Ye Yin like a storm.

"I don't know what you're talking about...but can you stop...!"

Relying on her sensitive dodging ability and the defensive ability of the sword and shield, Ye Yin supported the defense again and again.

"I hate others when I am a woman, and now I add a pseudo-mother!"

"There's nothing wrong with a fake mother...!"

"Oh, is there anything wrong with that? It's so boring in my opinion!"

"I have already apologized for recognizing you as a fake mother, can you stop..."

"Hahaha~ How is it possible? I have to say that your level is still passable, but unfortunately you will lose soon and be thrown down by me! Look forward to it~"

Julian's attack became more and more fierce, and Ye Yin also put up 12 points to deal with it.

He wasn't about to surrender.

Women's clothing and games are the two most important things in his life that he cannot give up. This point became more certain after meeting Shi Yuanxing and the "Zhuge Scroll" just now.

"By the way, where did Liyin go?"

I followed the suspicious man in the mask and the annoying young lady around the crowd to avoid being spotted by them, and I somehow lost it.

Swearing to the 'programmer' that he can solve the incident, but encountered such a thing, I really don't know how to be despised by the 'programmer'.

There was nowhere to go at the end of the airship, so I had to go back to find Shen Qing and the others. Shen Qing was still participating in the auction, and Ying stayed with her, and the two did not speak.

"—Ye Yin? I don't know, I'm watching the auction in Jinyuan District."

Shen Qing thought about it.

However, there seems to be something wrong with the Jinyuan District. I saw a large number of players gathered there, and more players walked there while talking. Could something have happened?

"I'm not interested."

Shen Qing has always sneered at the things of joining in the fun.

Sakura was rather curious about what happened there, and walked over with me to see the situation.

"It is said to be dueling."

I heard the players around me say this - who can't think about a duel on this kind of airship, don't they know that they will be blocked by NPCs or even banned?

I saw the surrounding players forming a human wall, and I immediately retreated—even if I passed by, I couldn't see anything.

At this moment, Ye Yin sent a message in the group chat——

[Ye Yin: Is there anyone? Can you help me! 】

【What's wrong with me? Where are you? 】

【Ye Yin: The ship breaks and is approaching the right... in the 'duel'...】

[Shen Qing: What's the situation? 】

[Me: Wait, a duel? Is it you who are being watched? 】

【Ye Yin: It seems so, anyway, come here to help first】

Ye Yin didn't even finish her sentence... The matter should be urgent. It is probably Ye Yin who was watched and got into trouble.

They ran to the place where the crowd gathered together with Sakura, and squeezed to the front with all their strength—that "Amami Rinne", who had always been inconspicuous and quiet, would actually duel with others?

"Julian..."

I saw that Ye Yin was fighting fiercely with a guy with short purple hair who couldn't tell the difference between male and female, while another boy with dead fish eyes was lying on the side of the boat, unable to move. The reason why I can’t tell the difference between men and women is because I have seen such a ‘person’ before——

Leaving aside that, isn't the kid with dead fish eyes lying on the ground Zhuge Juan?

"The level is not bad, report your name!"

The guy with short purple hair shouted at Ye Yin.

"My name is Julian, remember!"

It turned out to be him! This time he was wearing dark black armor, wielding a huge chain ax in his left hand, and a claw grip in his right hand.

Few players will equip two weapons, mainly because it is extremely difficult to operate and will slow down the running speed.

But Julian... I know that he is not a human but an awakened AI with extra abilities, so this negative effect probably has no effect on him.

But why did he fight Ye Yin here?

[Me: Ye Yin, why did you fight with him? He is an awakened AI! 】

"What's the situation, two women fighting for a man? These two women are amazing!"

During the process of squeezing in, I kept hearing random speculations and discussions from the onlookers——

"These two people are men."

"What???"

"What is the game party doing, why haven't they come to stop them!"

"All the NPCs who came to stop were thrown down by that purple-haired boy..."

"Hey, the purple-haired boy is not too slow to hold two weapons, let's hang up!"

"What? Is there such a thing? I want it too!"

"My God... public duels and hacking, this will have to be banned for many years..."

Not good... Leaving aside whether the two of them will be banned, if the fact that Julian awakened AI is exposed, it may cause social cognitive subversion.

There is no doubt that the top management of Endia is concealing this matter.

On the one hand, the fatal "Mirror Island" was only shut down, and the public opinion was quickly quelled by the "equipment problem", and the news about the awakening of AI was not leaked at all.

On the other hand, the senior executives of Endiya even concealed the truth from their own employees, and just sent the "Omega Squad" to investigate the incident as a show... Boss Su You reminded us more than once that before knowing what secrets are hidden behind the incident, Don't draw attention.

[Shen Qing: Awaken AI? Where? I'll come over. 】

[Me: Ye Yin, get out of here quickly! 】

【Ye Yin: If you don't fight him, he said he will kill Zhuge Juan 100 times...】

[Me: How did Zhuge Juan provoke Julian...]

Things are getting messier.

[Shen Qing: Although I don't know who you are talking about, the first task is not to cause a commotion. As for the person you mentioned dies in the game, it won't matter. 】

[Ye Yin: But...the other party is an awakened AI...so I can't let it go! The 'Zhuge Scroll' might really be life-threatening! 】

It seems that Ye Yin does not want to give up the Zhuge scroll. Indeed, we are not sure whether the setting of the awakened AI game system is absolutely effective. I myself have the experience of being trapped in the game by Sakura and the nameless person. Ye Yin is more because of" Mirror Goddess' reason was directly replaced.

【Me: I have seen Zhuge Juan in real life, he is indeed a human being, we must help our compatriots. 】

[Shen Qing: Well, in this case, you have to be careful. 】

It is undoubtedly our consensus that players cannot be harmed by the awakened AI.

[Ye Yin: ... Thank you! 】

Ye Yin had already expressed her thanks, and Shen Qing couldn't object anymore.

[Shen Qing: The programmer may have a way to block other players, I'll ask. 】

The time ratio between the game and reality is very different. I don't know how long it will take to wait for the programmer in reality to reply to Shen Qing with a feasible method.

It's only been a minute since I squeezed into the front row of the crowd, and Ye Yin seldom takes the initiative to attack, almost just defending.

Julian hasn't found me yet, how can he help Ye Yin among so many people?

"—You can obviously be stronger, but you just hide behind the gun shield. Are you looking down on people?"

"..."

Julian mocked Ye Yin, but Ye Yin didn't know what he said in a low voice, which made the other person's face change slightly.

"Oh... You're right."

Julian, who had the upper hand in the battle, suddenly stopped attacking...? Could it be because of Ye Yin's words? Or is there some conspiracy brewing?

"This guy, why did you come to help me?"

Before Julian could finish his sentence, something strange happened suddenly. All the players around were immobilized as if they had been cast with a holding spell.

The same is true for me, the consciousness is still there but the body cannot move, this situation is simply like a ghost possessing the upper body...

[Sakura: Ah Yuan...why can't I move? 】

[Me: Is this made by programmers? Or... a network anomaly? 】

I felt my voice tremble a little.

[Shen Qing: I just contacted the programmer, but I didn't expect him to move so fast... No, no... The programmer said he didn't do it! 】

【Me: Besides programmers, who else can do this kind of thing...? 】

[Shen Qing: ...it's another 'awakened AI'! The 'programmer' is cracking, wait a minute! 】

【Me: This is an online game, how dare they make such a big move? 】

clap - clap -

There was a crisp clap of hands.

With the sound of this voice, the crowd including Zhuge Juan gradually became transparent before my eyes, turning into spots of light and disappearing into the air...

The deck, which was clearly full of players one moment, became empty the next moment, just like playing a horror game.

"You don't have to work hard—remove [fixation]."

My body was under control again, and I immediately turned to the direction of the visitor, only to see a masked man in a black hooded coat slowly walking towards Julian.

Apart from the masked man and Julian, only Shen Qing, Ye Yin and Ying are still here. I was relieved to see that they can all act.

Now that Julian and the man in the mask are both there, the identity of the man in the mask is clearly revealed.

"It really is you, the nameless one... what are you going to do?!"

"Shi Yuanxing, why didn't you save your companion this time?"

That pale mask still had a weird smile on it, I don't know if it was an illusion, but I felt that his words also had a mocking tone.

"What does it have to do with you? The final score of "Snow Eagle" hasn't been settled with you yet!"

"Of course you can settle accounts, but it depends on whether you have that kind of strength."

My heart was inexplicably on fire.

"Oh, of course I'll beat you—"

"...Why are we the only ones here? Where have all those players gone?"

Shen Qing's question interrupted our conversation, and made me realize that I almost lost my cool just now, forgetting what is the most important question...

"You are 'The Eternal Waving Moon of the Scarlet Sky'? What a good name to match his ID. Don't worry about your 'citizens', they can only feel the network anomaly for a few seconds, and we are only in one place now 'Copy'."

"You bastard..."

While talking to the nameless man, the chat in our team didn't stop——

【Shen Qing: What is the origin of the 'nameless one'? 】

[Me: The awakened AI that once trapped us in "Snowfield Eagle" is also a top ten star player in the Chaos Arena. I don't know which game world he comes from...Ye Yin, do you know? 】

【Ye Yin: ... I've never seen this character before. 】

[Programmer: Synchronous replication of dynamic and static data. 】

The programmer joined our team chat somehow, and said something inexplicable.

[Programmer: He copied this space and connected all your data here. It's not easy to modify the data of Endia's internal server... Even if I want to do it, I can't do it so fast, and no one can do it faster than me. unless……】

[Me: Unless what? 】

[Programmer: He is an insider of Endia...he understands encryption methods. 】

[Me: But he is indeed an awakened AI... How could the AI ​​become an insider of Endia? 】

[Programmer: One possibility is that this guy has infiltrated into Endia's server, and the other possibility... Maybe there is some conspiracy by the high-level executives of Endia, which has something to do with him. 】

[Shen Qing: It is basically impossible for the high-level executives of Endiya to have a conspiracy, but the most urgent thing is to first ask the purpose of the unknown person. 】

[Shen Qing: ... If he doesn't answer, call until he answers. 】

Although Shen Qing is full of self-confidence, one of the two enemies facing him is a top player in the 'Scramble Arena', and the other is Julian, who is not low in strength, and the only ones in our team who are really capable of fighting are me and Ye Yin. There might be hope with the fog, but with just the three of us... the odds are slim.

"Ha~ Now you don't have to worry about unrelated people disturbing the battle!... You are the one with 'qwer1234'? It turns out that you and this twintail are also on the same team... just right, let's solve you together~"

Julian showed a sinister smile, and his eyes were sharp like a cat locking its prey——

[Ye Yin: Senior, do you know him? 】

[Me: Julian, a cruel and warlike guy, is also an awakened AI. It's really bad luck to be entangled with this kind of enemy...]

[Ye Yin: Julian...? I seem to know this name...is it...the character from "The World of Asura"? 】

[Me: "Asura World"? But in my impression it was a PVP game...]

[Ye Yin: No... That was originally a PVE game, and the PVP mode is just an additional function - but because the large number of AI enemies are designed by the game side to allow players to enjoy the pleasure of 'mowing the grass', their intelligence and strength are weak It's outrageous, and the PVP mode doesn't restrict any combat methods such as sneak attacks, so it has only been online for more than half a year, and it has been transformed into a PVP game where players can attack at will...]

【Me: If it comes from such a game, I seem to understand why this guy has such a bad personality...】

Before we could react, Julian had already raised his chain ax and slashed towards me!

"senior!"

"——!"

I was pushed to the ground by a strong force and escaped, only to hear a 'bang', it was Ye Yin who blocked the attack with a shield for me!

"Damn it, you sneak attack!"

I have known for a long time that it is impossible for a person like Julian to say hello before starting the fight, but the attack just now really startled me who was chatting in the team, so I got a little angry.

"The battle started the moment I spoke, but you don't know what you are distracted by?"

"Oh, about your origin."

"It's so boring...you'll regret it if you think about it before you die!"

"The date of death? It's not up to you to decide whether it's the date of death—"

Suddenly, several gunshots from the deck interrupted me. The direction of the source of the sound... seems to be Shen Qing's side!

Taking advantage of Ye Yin's attracting attack, I stayed away from Julian and his AOE giant ax attack, the situation on Shen Qing's side was very bad.

The gun she had just fired was still aimed at the Nameless One, but he was unharmed, while her own blood flowed from an arrow in her left shoulder blade.

It seemed that Shen Qing had just exchanged fire with the unknown person, but it was a pity that instead of causing damage to the opponent, the opponent's crossbow arrows were injured. Fortunately, the unknown person shot an ordinary arrow. If it was an arrow with special effects such as armor-piercing arrows, Shen Qing's body might have been torn apart by now...

Boom~ The melodious sound of the piano sounded from somewhere, and the tail sound at the end was like the long cry of a phoenix.

Shen Qing's wound healed instantly? There is also a faint red light on the body, which is a BUFF of 'increasing defense power'! Not far away, Sakura was holding a lyre decorated with gorgeous orange-red metal tail feathers.

Is it [Phoenix Tail] Qin? I clearly saw it being auctioned off, why is it in Sakura's hands?

【Sakura: Everyone disappeared just now. I saw this violin on the ground... I remember A Yuan said that this violin is very precious, so...】

It seems that the copied data is not only the airship but also this precious weapon. What's more, it happened to be picked up by Sakura.

"Miss, it's not a good habit to choose a sneak attack when you can confront each other head-on."

The nameless person was not afraid because of the large number of opponents, nor did he get angry because of the enemy's sneak attack, but kept a peaceful tone, only slightly preaching.

"Sneak attack? I just don't have the habit of saying hello before attacking. I'm really sorry-but I don't plan to change it."

Shen Qing didn't care at all that she suffered a loss from the attempted sneak attack just now, she still maintained her usual arrogant attitude.

"...In fact, I often persuade Julian not to do this, but with little success."

"Hey! What's none of my business?"

Julian shouted in dissatisfaction, but the nameless man ignored him, and under his pale mask with a blood-red smiling face, he seemed to be staring at Shen Qing with a scrutiny——

"Although the method is a bit rough, I can understand that...you are inviting me to a duel?"

"I just wanted to ask you some questions, such as what your purpose is - I would certainly be happy to get an answer without a fight."

"Unfortunately, the transaction is two-way, and it is impossible to get an answer from me without enough bargaining chips."

"What kind of chips do you need?"

"A question. If you decide to answer my question, I will tell you the answer you need - don't worry, you only need to decide whether you can answer me first, and you don't really need to give me the answer until after I answer it."

"What is your question?"

"Assuming that the intimacy value of friendship, family or love can be quantified... Then, with 100 as the perfect score, what is the relationship between you and Shen Chuan, the chairman of Jiguang Company?"

"..."

Shen Qing fell silent.

Shen Chuan? I quickly recalled the meaning of this slightly familiar name in my brain—everyone who has followed the news of Jiguang Company should know that this is the name of the chairman of the company, but I have never doubted that there is something between him and Shen Qing. Relationship, what question is the nameless person asking?

"Would you like to answer that question?"

Seeing that Shen Qing didn't answer, the unknown person asked again.

"I don't know Shen Chuan."

Shen Qing answered directly.

"You're lying to me."

"Are you suspicious of me?"

Shen Qing's speech speed fluctuated a bit, could it be... she was angry?

"I'm not doubting you for no reason. You should know that Jiguang's VR helmet will collect user's eye movement data. This kind of data is often used to judge the probability of lying. The judgment result is almost accurate, and I have been monitoring your data. ..."

"..."

Shen Qing fell silent.

Why did Shen Qing lie to others on this issue? Does she really have any relationship with Shen Chuan?

The relationship between Shen Qing and her family is indeed a bit strange. When she mentioned her family several times, she always showed dissatisfaction and indifference. I never knew about her family situation, but only knew that Shen Kong was her brother.

Considering Shen Chuan's age, it can only be Shen Qing's father's generation...

"I'm sorry, it seems that the question just now made you unhappy... After all, I just asked a question that is 'worthy' of the answer you wanted, Miss Shen Qing. If my question was 'for you and Shi Yuanxing' Scores for relationship intimacy'...then the answer is too simple and worthless?"

"Shut up……"

The hateful masked man, no matter it was the last time or this time, was always picking questions that the other party couldn't answer, and the tone of this apology was too insincere.

As for Shen Qing's rating of our relationship, don't think it must be in single digits...

Shen Qing has already lost the battle, in order to get the answer I want, am I going to trade with the unknown?

I thought about doing this, but... If the unknown person asks me 'How did you and Yugiri survive in "Snow Eagle", I can't answer...

"Shen Qing, don't pay attention to his question, just start fighting!"

[Me: Big programmer! Is there any cheats like the "One Minute of Invincibility" given to me last time? 】

The programmer didn't reply.

"Before you fight me, are you sure your friend can deal with Julian?"

By the way, Ye Yin is still fighting Julian - and has a slight disadvantage, so he can only keep defending.

Ye Yin's gun shield has an outstanding effect in defending against long-range weapons or ordinary light swords, but it has no advantage in front of Julian's giant chain axe. What's more, Julian's speed and strength are surprisingly great. I don't know if it's an equipment bonus or cheating.

The programmer still hasn't responded, and I experience the feeling of being alone. It is impossible to take back the rhetoric that has already been uttered. Should I help Ye Yin defeat Julian first, or fight against the unknown with Shen Qing?

——? ! The hull seemed to... vibrate just now? What kind of wind can move such a huge ship, or is it some other phenomenon?

What is that thin line, my eyes are blurred...?

Suddenly, the blue sky seemed to be sliced ​​open by a knife, and a long and narrow gap appeared in midair.

Then the gap became bigger and bigger, and something was propping up the gap, and the gap looked like a black space decorated with curved grids.

What came out of the gap turned out to be... a huge bone dragon?

"A Yuan, this... what is this?"

Not only Sakura is puzzled, but I have never seen this thing before...

"...No, this thing is not right!"

This is not a monster in "Legend of Mountains and Seas", at least not in this one!

"Analysis... the upper limit strength of the world view is 800, and the target peak strength is 350."

"Prepare for battle... Summon Hellfire Bone Dragon and Octopus Monster."

"what?"

Julian stopped fighting with Ye Yin. While guarding against Ye Yin, he frowned at the sudden and strange gap.

"The probability of victory... 91%, considering the target has a high level of intelligence, the correction is... 67%."

"This space has been copied and isolated, but the barriers have been broken..."

"The Nameless One" murmured a soliloquy.

The half of the huge bone dragon's body outside the game space is still formless, and the boundary is entirely composed of grids, but the head on this side has been fully visible, and a piercing roar is issued from its opened upper and lower jaws. A dark blue flame quickly formed in its mouth, and then flew to where Julian and Ye Yin were!

"Ye Yin!"

I immediately called to remind Ye Yin to avoid it!

Julian ran sideways, rolled, and dodged the moment the flame flew out, while Ye Yin was a little slower than him—but he also ran in the opposite direction to Julian while raising his shield to block the flames.

"Masked! What the hell have you done?"

I yell at "The Nameless".

"It's not my problem. It's better to isolate this game space and stay away from other players to avoid this situation."

"What the hell do you mean?"

"Compared to asking, don't you know this unexpected guest by yourself?"

"The Nameless Man" raised his head and pointed to the sudden change in the sky, and I looked at the uninvited guest——

"...I said, why is there a lot of abnormal data here? It turns out that there is a irascible kid who needs to be trained~~"

Accompanied by the female voice, a few huge octopus tentacles with a diameter of several meters drilled out from the space crack, slowly wrapping around the body of the bone dragon that has not yet fully appeared.

I'm sure I don't know such a disgusting monster...

No, it wasn't the monster octopus who was talking, but the figure standing on one of the tentacles of the octopus.

It was a woman's figure, very small compared to these two monsters, but I knew her, and I could even say that this 'person' was once my nightmare...
