Chapter 143: Siege for Super Props

Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Siege for Super Props"Girl in the painting" was the codename given to Xu Huo by the command center.

"Other than the call that came fifteen minutes ago, there has been no contact with us."

Fifteen minutes ago, Girl in the painting had contacted them to report that the effect of the renaming was better than expected; Jing City went as far as allocating the entire city’s land to her. Although the property renaming wasn’t completed that quickly, it had already exceeded the maximum range Girl in the painting had requested and was expanding into Quanghai City.

Now, high-level players from the outskirts had started fighting. On the periphery of Sea City, some players were moving towards the amusement park. This was good for them as it attracted the players’ attention, providing Girl in the painting with the opportunity to act. It also made it easy to identify those from the outskirts—the ones running in the opposite direction when everyone else in Sea City was moving out were particularly conspicuous.

"The call is coming through." The commander-in-chief perked up and, after connecting, pressed speakerphone.

"I am ready." The delicate voice came through the phone again. "I will commence action in one minute. My destination is Pearl Hotel, and at 7:31 pm sharp, six minutes from now, you must blow up the hotel."

"The arrangements around the hotel are all set," the commander-in-chief said.

"Good, I have nothing else to report." Xu Huo finished and was ready to hang up the phone when an old man from Jing City said, "The nation will remember your contribution. Please make sure you come back safely."

The call then ended.

Xu Huo casually cast aside what he was holding and said to Girl in the painting, "Have you memorized the steps I told you?"

Girl in the painting nodded and silently mouthed his instructions to rehearse them.

After confirming there were no mistakes or omissions, Xu Huo took out the Medal of the Radiant Gentleman and hung it around her neck, flashing a slight smile. "I’m giving it to you in advance."

Although Girl in the painting was somewhat puzzled, she still held it tenderly, kissed it twice, and then ran out of the coffee shop. As she stood on the street, all the papers scattered on the ground flew into the air, and she gracefully jumped onto one of them, moving away from the skyscraper with her back turned.

This was an unexpected surprise that came with the land ownership change. After the transfer of Sea City’s land was completed, Girl in the painting suddenly found she could control all paper materials within Sea City’s range. Naturally, this didn’t include buildings, as they still needed to be renamed.

Thus, as of now, the entire outdoors of Sea City, as well as a third of the buildings within the range of the Black-White Roulette, were under her control. She could also use photos or posters of people to observe events from a distance.

Nie Xuan was surrounded, and she discovered this.

She had seen Nie Xuan before, so she stepped in to help.

She also sneaked a peek at the fight between the wheelchair player and the Guile Sound Knights.

Even with just the Funeral Master from the Guile Sound Knights being so difficult to handle, it was indicative of the strength of the other players’ levels. Them fighting against that one wheelchair player suggested how formidable the wheelchair player was.

Even though Xu Huo left himself a ten-second window, he couldn’t guarantee he’d successfully enter the station within that time. He needed the witness of high-level players, not to be attacked by them, so the stalemate between the two parties was a very good opportunity for him.

He picked up the backpack he had prepared earlier and left the coffee shop, approaching Pearl Hotel.

Meanwhile, the Girl in the painting, who feigned flight, used her ability to search for players from other districts within the largest range. Anyone she could wrap up and drag away as a mummy was simply pulled out from a multiplayer life-or-death situation and dealt with swiftly. The Black-White Roulette was short on players, so she looked outside for more, thus within a mere half-minute, a series of continuous human explosions erupted within its area.

Some died in the multiplayer battles, some at the edge of the Black-White Roulette, and some players, not swift enough in their reactions, died in utter confusion.

However, most of the players were survivors of fierce fights in instances; their response to danger was incredibly quick. After dodging the first attack and realizing that the paper had become as sharp as blades and began attacking indiscriminately, they knew that such large-scale attacks couldn’t possibly be executed by a low-level prop. Only a Super Prop could cover a city with a population in the tens of millions!

"The Super Prop has finally appeared!"

In an instant, players from other districts both inside and outside the Roulette were seething with excitement. Whether hidden for self-preservation or watching the fire from across the river, those who came for the Super Prop began to plunge into the Black-White Roulette!

The flying papers not only killed but also rescued people, so players from other districts soon spotted the Girl in the painting and started to surround and block her.

The Girl in the painting stood on the paper to fly intentionally to attract attention. As she noticed more people following her, she simply increased her altitude to reveal herself openly to everyone!

Several arrows shot towards her from different directions, the Girl in the painting dodged to the side, but was then directly hit by a huge net that appeared out of nowhere in the sky. She flew low and quickly passed under the net, just as two buildings beside her suddenly collapsed towards the middle with a bang!

The Girl in the painting made a sudden stop to avoid the tragic fate of being crushed, but as she was about to turn around, her clothes suddenly burst into flames. Before she could react, a stream of water poured down from above, extinguishing the flames and freezing her into a block of ice!

"Blind son of a bitch, didn’t you see me fire-setting? How dare you use water!" A shout came from somewhere in the street, but the response was several water jets, as powerful as water cannons!

A building was sliced into several pieces, collapsing and smashing towards the multiplayer life-or-death situation on the ground!

Seeing this, the Girl in the painting quickly shook off the ice on her body, gathering all the nearby papers to push the falling building aside.

The people trapped in the life-or-death situation were temporarily saved. One of the rescuers fired at the players nearby and yelled at her, "Run! You mustn’t let them get the prop..."!

But before he could finish, his head flew off—killed by someone unknown.

The Girl in the painting blinked, rolled all the fluttering papers into columns, and with storm-like ferocity attacked the players hiding in the buildings!

The hardened paper was comparable to steel, it could even pierce through buildings made of rebar and concrete, and after a frenzied bombardment, some players had no choice but to jump out.

That was the moment the Girl in the painting had been waiting for; she caught some of them in midair and threw them directly into the multiplayer life-or-death situation.

The remaining players weren’t faring any better. Although they had dodged the Girl in the painting’s attacks, they were quickly suppressed by the force of the life-or-death situation and new Black-White Roulettes started to appear on the ground. Whether they liked it or not, once they entered, they had to break out of the situation or leave with tickets.

This Black-White life-or-death situation, originally intended to cause trouble for Country X, had now become a powerful tool to contain players from other districts!

The first batch of players were tricked, but those who came after became smarter. They kept their distance for long-range attacks on the Girl in the painting, who took several hits. She wanted to rush over and drag out the ones shooting at her, but at that moment, the alarm from the electronic watch Xu Huo had set up began to beep urgently. She was forced to change direction, pretending to be driven back towards the direction of the Skyscraper.
