"Sorry I'm late."
Wu Liangta Himeko said.
But the numerous players of the two-dimensional miHoYo games stared blankly at Ji Zi's battlefield swift figure.
"Ji Zi-sensei? No, it should be another player cosplaying. But the aura is quite similar."
The players only saw Ji Zi as a cosplayer and didn't truly believe she was Wu Liangta Himeko.
After all, players also possessed items that could change their appearance, so they just assumed it was someone else cosplaying. But even so, those veteran Honkai players couldn't help but comment on how well this Ji Zi-sensei was portrayed. They even wanted a group photo after the battle.
What they didn't know, however, was that this Wu Liangta Himeko was the real deal.
To be honest, with Ji Zi's LV2 level, she shouldn't have been able to swat away that mutated monster. But don't forget, she was currently living on Fang Xinhan's island. Power potions, enchanted weapons, equipment—Fang Xinhan had given Ji Zi full access.
It could be said that Ji Zi's basic attributes might not be great right now, but this equipment compensated for that flaw. A classic case of a poor student having many stationery items.
"Although I can't use Honkai Energy anymore, it seems I can now control another kind of power."
Ji Zi felt the magic energy within her body. Hmm, her strength had returned. Not a lot, but enough. Ji Zi, holding the ma yuling greatsword with both hands, joined the battle to eliminate the mutated monsters.
"Everyone, hurry up! What are you standing around for?"
One old guy snapped out of it, grabbed a brick, and charged into the fight. The other players looked at each other, then rejoined the battle.
Regarding this incident, after unanimous discussion among the upper echelons of the Management Bureau, it was decided to let these player operatives equipped with Night Raid Team gear undertake their first combat mission.
Firstly, it was to test the damage these pieces of equipment inflicted on monsters in the instance game and to make corresponding adjustments for the next phase of the plan.
Secondly, since the ○ Valley Company had been acquired and the copyright was in hand, it was time to make an appearance.
The Night Raid Team deployed this time consisted entirely of player operatives. Of course, non-player operatives could also be deployed, but this time was solely for testing.
If unexpected situations arose, these player operatives could use their extraordinary abilities to escape. If non-player operatives were used instead, they might encounter danger.
However, judging by the current situation, even non-player operatives could handle it with ease.
With the active cooperation of the players, all the mutated monsters were eliminated. Zhao Liang, captain of Night Raid Team A, thanked all the players who came to help and stated that each person would receive 500 gold coins as a reward for blockading and delaying the monsters.
Soon after, the handover was completed, and a black minivan drove into the Misty Mountain barrier.
The people who disembarked were members of the Second Combat Team. Qin An, with a cigarette in his mouth, slowly walked up to Zhao Liang and offered him a cigarette.
"Old Zhao, what's the situation now?"
Zhao Liang accepted the cigarette but didn't light it. He then motioned for a team member to display the computer screen to Qin An.
"The detector shows that beneath the cave is a huge underground city. The magic energy fluctuation level is still being assessed, but a conservative estimate suggests it's likely C-class. It's probably some unlucky soul who entered an instance not matching their level and died."
Qin An took a puff of his cigarette and continued.
"What about Ji Zi?"
"That cosplayer? Oh, she's over there taking pictures with other players. But seriously, where did you guys find that cosplayer? She's really good."
"Oh, she's not a cosplayer."
Qin An said, then turned and walked towards Ji Zi.
"Huh? Not a cosplayer? Then what is she?"
Zhao Liang's mind didn't immediately process it, but he recalled the Nexus that appeared a week ago, then looked at Ji Zi again.
"Could it be the real person?"
Qin An walked up to Ji Zi, told the other players he needed to interrupt for a moment, then pulled Ji Zi aside and said,
"There's a huge underground city down here. I heard Liang Boss say your level isn't even LV5 yet. Want to go down and explore together? I'll help you level up."
Qin An invited Ji Zi to level up mainly because Liang Boss originally wanted to come, but upon hearing Ji Zi was already on her way, he decided not to. Qin An then knew that Ji Zi must have something that could directly change the course of the battle.
Another point was the difference between the real world and instance games:
Experience gained in instance games would only be settled after leaving the instance. (Revised from previous text)
In the real world, it could be settled in real-time.
Ji Zi pondered for a moment. Although she had magic energy, due to her low level, her magic energy reserves were not extensive.
"Hmm, alright. I need to prepare first. Give me 15 minutes."
Ji Zi then sent a message to Fang Xinhan, who was in class and immediately received Ji Zi's message.
<Wu Liangta Himeko: I'm about to go down into an underground city. Do you have any equipment I can borrow?>
<Xin Bu Re: Underground city? Come to the island and wait for me. Let me see what's going on.>
Fang Xinhan immediately used his Flight technique to quickly fly to the school restroom. After the last 'Shit From Heaven' incident, the school had rebuilt and reinforced the restrooms.
Now, the school restrooms, no exaggeration, unless you used TNT to blow them up, basically wouldn't break again.
Entering the restroom, Fang Xinhan summoned Dongfeng, molded him into his own appearance, and after telling him some Precautions, Fang Xinhan transformed into Ultimate Kuuga and instantly teleported back to his home.
Fang Xinhan deliberately concealed his aura during his transformation, otherwise, the commotion of a warrior who could attract darkness would certainly not be small.
Upon returning home, Fang Xinhan didn't hesitate, directly entering the inner world and returning to his island.
Ji Zi was already waiting.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Ford. Bring up that set of equipment."
"Yes, Creator."
Ford went and returned with a set of white, futuristic-looking equipment. This was the crystallization of the IndustrialCraft 2 mod and integrated all the functions of industrial equipment: night vision, underwater breathing, radiation protection, flight—not a single function was missing.
Originally, it would have taken Fang Xinhan a long time to make a set of Quantum armor, but during a lottery draw, he won a Photon Solar Generator and a Molecular Reconstructor, which directly gave Fang Xinhan a way to obtain Iridium Ore.
And now, this Quantum armor, barely a day old, was about to have its first battle.
"Wear this set of equipment. I can guarantee that as long as you don't take physical damage exceeding the maximum limit of 5.3 billion before the power runs out, you'll be fine. Damage that ignores armor is a separate matter." (If external physical damage is 6 billion, it will still be instantly fatal. The specific range is 5.368 E9 ~ 5.369 E9.)
"Huh? No, I just wanted to borrow your Netherite armor set. How come you're pulling out divine artifacts?"
Ji Zi's heart was in turmoil at this moment. She didn't know what the so-called 5.3 billion maximum physical damage limit was, but she had heard that the maximum damage that could be dealt in "Honkai Impact 3rd" was 2.1 billion. Did this mean that with this set of equipment, she would be invincible in "Honkai Impact 3rd"?
(PS: I don't want to go to work.)
