Chapter 714 - Skiing
Chapter 793 of "Player Reload" begins with suspenseful moments: Certainly! Here is the translated text:```htmlThe thin, cold air seeped in everywhere, flowing along the... Donât miss it!
Certainly! Here is the translated text:```html
The thin, cold air seeped in everywhere, flowing along the clothes into the collar, cuffs, and trouser legs.
Here is a snow mountain with a wide field of view, the sky clear and the air crisp. Looking out as far as possible, one can see the distant, undulating snow-covered mountain ranges. Dense fog envelopes the mountain waist, obscuring specific differences in height.
The mere minus ten degrees temperature certainly wasnât going to freeze any Transcendent except for Lulina.
Gray Rain looked around and didnât notice any pursuers. So he took out his specially enhanced anti-freeze mobile phone, took a selfie with the camera, and captioned it: "Impulsive winter solo climb without a tent, beautifully oxygen-free ascent of K2 Qogir Peak~"
"Feels inferior to Olympus Mons on Mars, twenty thousand meters high."
Li Cheng used Nanomubu to wipe his Information Integration Glasses to prevent fogging, and casually said: "You handle the impulse; I handle the sudden urge, lack of experience, forgetting the equipment, and stirring up mud."
Without dwelling on their antics, White Horse Tombstone casually took a down jacket from the Backpack and draped it over the shivering Lulina, frowning and saying solemnly: "Zak wonât be captured, right?"
"Shouldnât be."
Wanli Sealed Blade glanced at Carlos, who maintained Silence, "Earlier, Carlos reported two addresses, B22 and C17. We entered B22, Zak can enter C17âif he can shake off the guards.
Even if he gets caught, we can jailbreak him after some time."
Furthermore, thereâs one thing Wanli Sealed Blade didnât mention: some of Carlosâ Prophecies become inaccurate once spoken. He surely knows something, which is why before entering the Teleportation Gate, he equipped everyone with a pager...
"The task requires us to get eight Gold coins in the end, and the flyer said that the grand championship totalled thirteen coins. In the final hour, all players holding coins will be thrown into the arena for a last-man-standing battle royale."
Sunset Melting Gold mused: "We have two options: one is to participate in the normal competition, attempting to collect as many coins as possible. Considering the 24-hour limit, weâll likely need to split up.
The second is to find a way to get one coin, give it to our strongest member, and have them participate in the final competition, and secures all eight coins in one go.
Each option has its pros and cons. After assessing the risks and rewards, personally, I prefer the former."
"Me too."
Card Emperor raised a hand, "Earlier, the guardsâ Perfect Quality Mirror Shield could reflect 80% of kinetic and Energy Attacks. Just this one could sell for over 20,000 Game Coins in the slum,
If we further explore, we might even acquire Epic items."
The guildthat Card Emperor belongs to is backed by over a dozen multinational betting conglomerates, including Flutter Entertainment, MGM, AllwynOPAP, and Macau complexes.
Yet, as they say, fish seeks fish, shrimps seek shrimps, turtles seek king turtles.
The players can recruit naturally cannot be those who are steadfast, loyal, righteous, and fit the ideal five talks four beauties three loves model,
Either gambling addicts like Ito Kaishi, or probability PhD candidates hiding in basements indulging in online gambling all day, or humanoid entities worthy of the abstinence hall of fame.
Someone like Card Emperor, who gambles leisurely, doesnât steal parentsâ pensions, and doesnât trick friends and family to Myanmar North, is already considered a saint within .
The higher-ups value him considerably, and his Equipment, items, Skill Scrolls are all top-quality stuff, except Epic Quality itemsâthose are practically impossible to purchase.
âThe Task Reward is taking an item out from the game world,â
Card Emperor couldnât help but fantasize, âI donât ask for much, just something like Aladdinâs Lamp, Stone Sword, Holy Grail, Book of Life and Death would be enough...â
Boom!
A roaring sound interrupted Card Emperorâs fantasies, and everyone simultaneously looked upwards to see the snow accumulating on the ridge first split into a crack, resembling a sinister smile as it rapidly widened.
Hundreds of tons, thousands of tons, tens of thousands of tons. The snow roared downhill, akin to a bellowing beast, leaving ice and rocks crushed to powder in its path, lifting clouds of ice crystals that blocked out the sky.
Sunset Melting Goldâs brain briefly stalledâthe maximum speed of an avalanche on Earth is 90 meters/second, faster by two magnitudes than a category twelve typhoonâs 32.5 meters/second.
Yet, at this moment, the initial speed of the avalanche above is frigging 300 meters/second...that translates to 1080 kilometers per hour, faster than a Boeing 767.
Two Boeing 767s are sufficient to destroy the Twin Towers. With tons of avalanche crashing down...
Li Cheng put away Nanomubu, kicked the ground, and used the Floating Engine to fly into the air, planning to estimate the total volume of the avalanche,
Then saw the collapsing sea of snow abruptly rising in an unnatural way, its height just enough to crush his hovering position, resembling a giant two-hundred-meter-high wall advancing.
"WTF, Newtonâs coffin plate canât hold it down?!"
Li Cheng gasped, quickly descended in height, and yelled: "Itâs âSki Safariâ, weâre now inside âSki Safariâ!"
âSki Safariâ, originally released in December 2012 on iOS, Android, and Flash platforms, is a casual game where players control the protagonist escaping from an avalanche, using penguins, snow monsters, eagles, and ski cars to avoid obstacles.
Whether itâs the original version or the special version provided by domestic agents, it was merely a lightweight game, with only a 100MB capacity,
But in this game world connected via neural interfaces, âSki Safariâ directly simulates and reproduces the avalanche scene at the code level.
And seeing this momentum, even with a Floating Engine flying to a thousand meters high wouldnât evade the kilometer-level avalanche wall coming over.
"Time to run again."
Li Cheng didnât hesitate, took out Edge Fighter, didnât have time to get into the cockpit, and directly clung to the wing with Gray Rain, letting the fighter sprint with full power.
Buzz!
The Edge Fighter powered up fully, descending with the gradient of the mountain, other players also exhibited their skills.
Lulina summoned the My Neighbor Totoro Bus,
Sunset Melting Gold used green data to generate a double-layer hamster ball, squeezing in with Card Emperor and Carlos, rolling downwards.
White Horse Tombstone stepped on her own Tombstone, like a snowboard, drifting and diving.
As for Wanli Sealed Blade, he stood on a Flying Sword with his hands behind his back. The swift wind lifted his bangs, the hem of his clothes flapped fiercely, his originally unsightly appearance, against the avalanche backdrop, had an air of superiority.
A minute, two minutes...
Everyone had been diving for 35,000 meters at nearly sonic speed, equivalent to a vertical height of 25,000 meters, exceeding the Solar Systemâs highest mountain, Olympus Mons on Mars.
The Totoro Bus was starting to pant heavily, its limbs trembling from the cold. White Horse Tombstoneâs hair and eyebrows were covered in frost.
The most unfortunate was Sunset Melting Gold in the hamster ballâhe himself practiced Cyber Martial Arts, considered half a Close Combat Extraordinary, and could sustain the bumps,
But Card Emperor and Carlos in the same hamster ball didnât have as robust a Constitution, Carlos, after 20 kilometers, felt his insides turn upside down, couldnât help but vomit.
Having eaten some food at East Sea Restaurant earlier, the vomit, emitting a bizarre and pungent smell, evenly smeared inside the hamster ball, the shrimp vaguely visible.
"Ugh, donât throw up on me, ughâ"
Card Emperor turned green, couldnât help but vomit too, soaking Sunset Melting Gold.
Yet the latter had to maintain the hamster ball, unable to activate the data formation mode, only able to collapse in fury, roaring: "...I might as well substitute for Zak, stay in the venue, fight the guards, ahhhhhhh!"
