Chapter 736: Chapter 697: Extraordinary Battlefield!
At 3 PM, under Yelang’s desperate gaze, the number of applicants for the “Costume Ball” exceeded 3000.
——Everyone attached their own “costume photo,” and the registration group could barely keep up with the review.
Excluding internet pictures, those just joining for the fun, and those who can’t make it to Xiajing City, the number still absolutely exceeds the 500-person target set by Yelang.
In other words, he can’t escape now.
Yelang’s mentality explodes on the spot.
In the outrageous environment of [Extraordinary Battlefield], the result of a blown mentality is a drop in skill and sending others countless kills.
Looking at his own [7 kills 22 deaths] record, Yelang wants to cry but can’t.
As a professional anchor, although he fought until late yesterday, he still started his broadcast at 7:50 AM on time to catch up with the opening of the [Extraordinary Battlefield].
A professional anchor will never miss a single hot topic!
Moreover, he was very confident that he could give an exciting live streaming performance.
The reason is simple: Many “Battlefield” players are new players who may not have played “Assassins’ Alliance” and “Speed Chase.”
Even if they have played, most of them just go through the story, experience it once, and then put it aside.
At most, they occasionally log in and out to complete achievements, play real estate, and so on.
It’s impossible to be like them back then, with nothing else to play, spending seven or eight hours a day squatting in the metropolis, delving into combat techniques, and constantly fighting against PVP-loving players.
Their sense of acceleration effect from [Assassin Bloodline], the timing, distance, and angle grasp of [Curved Shot] far surpass those players who have just dabbled in this.
It’s the same for “Speed Chase” – [Combat Sensing] and [Gunfighting Technique] are skills that become more handy the longer you play.
Now playing Extraordinary Battlefield, won’t their old players directly blow up the new ones?
Dimensional strike!
Yelang confidently starts the match.
First game, familiar terrain——[Sinai Desert].
He and his teammates rushed to the opponents without hesitation, ready to start a massacre
Enemy appears, Yelang starts [Assassin Bloodline], and subconsciously pulls out his pistol, confidently tossing out curved bullets——
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
Three consecutive bullets draw a large arc, bypassing the corner and shooting towards the enemy hiding behind the cover.
Yelang can’t see the enemy, but he is sure the trajectory is very accurate!
The key point was: The enemy subconsciously hid behind cover, which means giving up the line of sight, which in turn means that the [Assassin Bloodline] won’t be activated passively.
Unexpectedly, all three bullets should hit!
But the accident soon happened——
Right when the third bullet was about to turn the corner, the opponent suddenly jumped out without warning, fearlessly taking that bullet with his chest.
Even before Yelang could celebrate, an insanely fast medical bag flew towards the enemy under the “Time Slow” effect, and his health went back to full again.
Then the guy started firing.
He didn’t use [Curved Shot], just held out a Lee-Enfield rifle and went all out.
In the beginning, Yelang didn’t care, confident that he could dodge. The advantage of having skills over not having them is too significant.
But the next moment, he realized that he had made a big mistake——
The muzzle of the Lee-Enfield rifle spewed out blazing flames, with bullets shooting out almost simultaneously!
Under the effect of “Time Slow”, this manually operated bolt-action rifle produced an effect close to that of a submachine gun!
It was only then that he realized that the opponent had also used a skill, not for [Curved Shot] or “bursting mobility,” but simply for the “acceleration” effect.
At this moment, the speed at which he pulled the trigger and pulled the bolt almost caught up with the firing rate of a submachine gun.
He almost pulled sparks out of the bolt!
What’s even more outrageous is that with the help of “Time Slow”, he could fine-tune the muzzle after every bullet shot and pull back the trajectory change caused by the recoil!
Who can stand against a weapon that has a submachine gun’s firing rate, a rifle’s power, and a sniper rifle’s accuracy?
Yelang definitely can’t.
He was directly dumbfounded, and the reminder from [Combat Sensing] was: all positions, all angles, were incredibly dangerous!
No way to avoid it at all!
Yelang instantly died on the spot, and his medic teammate didn’t even react in time.
After being revived, he felt a little doubtful about life.
After thinking for a moment, he threw away his pistol and switched to a submachine gun.
“I must be crazy using a little pistol on the battlefield!” Yelang reflected as he charged, “The attack frequency of arcing shots is too low. When all skills are activated, and three bullets are thrown out, the opponent has already emptied three magazines.”
“Besides, once the enemy medic turns on the sensory acceleration, they can directly hold the position to heal, and our small pistols can’t kill anyone!”
Yelang realized:
“To play on the battlefield, we need firepower coverage!”
He rushed to the front line once again, changing back to the traditional fighting style, only using [Assassin Bloodline] and [Combat Sensing] to help dodge bullets without wasting energy on attacks.
As for the previous gameplay, where he treated bolt-action rifles like submachine guns, it’s not that he didn’t want to play like that; the problem was he couldn’t.
Sensory acceleration can only increase the speed of actions, not his proficiency.
The opponent he encountered earlier had such a smooth and unrealistic bolt-action shooting action that it couldn’t be practiced in a short time.
Considering such rifles are old items in reality, the chances of him practicing in the real world are slim, so it’s likely he’s a dedicated player using that one type of gun, looking to achieve the “Hundred Stars” (10,000 kills with a single gun).
Playing for so long, he becomes so proficient that pulling the bolt becomes an instinct, and only then can he use such skills and achieve such shocking effects.
But he can’t learn that either.
Afterward, with this clear strategy, he and his teammates successfully won the first round.
This further solidified his belief: this strategy was the optimal solution for the Extraordinary Battlefield.
So they matched the second round to [Bloody Banquet], and he decisively chose the same strategy.
He even convinced one Izumo, one Siam, and two Russians, a total of four teammates from the small squad to adopt this strategy.
——Extraordinary Battlefield is a new gameplay mode in the daily [Random Match] mode, completely separate from National Warfare, and teammates can come from all over the world.
Everyone has always been puzzled by Cloud Dream’s matching system.
Yelang has even matched with Brazilian teammates, and as far as he knows, Cloud Dream hasn’t officially entered the Brazilian market yet.
Since then, he wouldn’t be surprised by teammates from any place.
With “experienced old players” and “unrivaled game understanding” as persuasion, he successfully convinced the four overseas teammates.
As the match began, everyone held submachine guns and automatic rifles, fearlessly charging into the central castle on the map.
——Although Cloud Dream had already adjusted the terrain of [Bloody Banquet], the central point on the map still remained the most fiercely contested and crucial location for victory.
As expected, they encountered two opponents in the courtyard!
The moment they met, they activated their skills and prepared for firepower coverage!
——Two opponents; weren’t these just heads served on a silver platter?!
The five-man squad confidently stood in place, began firing wildly at their enemies, and constantly paid attention to [Combat Sensing]’s reminders to be ready to dodge.
But the two opponents didn’t shoot, nor did they look for cover; instead, they chose to—
Draw their knives!
Yelang and the four overseas teammates stared in disbelief as the two opponents held a medical bag in one hand and a military knife in the other, charging into the bullets.
Under the effects of sensory slow time and explosive mobility, they really dodged the bullets!
The bullets moved in the footsteps, holes left on the courtyard floor, rubble flying, but they just couldn’t keep up with the opponents.
“Shit!”
Yelang’s alarm bells rang in his mind!
He hurriedly retracted his attention from [Combat Sensing], focusing entirely on his gun aim to make his shots more precise.
His efforts paid off to some extent, as the bullets accurately blocked one person’s path, but the next moment——
“Clang!”
With a sharp sound of metal collision, sparks flew as the opponent…actually sliced the bullet with a knife!
“Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!”…
One after another.
Yelang’s heart turned cold.
He found this scene somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it in Metropolis before…
Not all the bullets were cut, and several still hit, but they were medics!
Slapping a medical bag on themselves, they charged forward with full health, followed by a flurry of knife slashes!
In the blink of an eye, the multinational five-man squad was wiped out.
After reviving, faced with the skeptical looks from his teammates, Yelang considered quitting the game.
Only then did he realize: without skill support, even ordinary physical abilities could enable experts to charge into a panicked crowd and slaughter with a knife. Paired with a medic teammate, they could wreak havoc.
Now with skill support, it’s an even more logical strategy.
The problem is, he can’t learn this strategy either!
