Chapter 571: Chapter 544: Caliber is Justice!

рlease,reading On ΒΟXΝOVEL.ϹʘM

Shuihua sat in the classroom, unhappy and busy writing on her paper.

Because she was still in class, while Lincoln took leave at noon to go back to the club and play games.

He waited until after lunch with Shuihua before casually mentioning, “I have work in the afternoon, so I’m not going to class.”

He took advantage of Shuihua’s delayed reaction, grabbed his backpack, and made a quick escape.

Shuihua, catching on later, was incredibly upset.

Her mood worsened with every word she wrote, she looked up guiltily at the class representative who was engrossed in work, and quietly pulled out her mobile phone from her pocket. Turning the volume down to the lowest, wearing only one headphone, she cautiously opened Lincoln’s live broadcast room.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

At this time, in the live broadcast, the screen was full of “666” “Awesome!” “This is too strong!!”

Shuihua reduced the comment display range to a quarter to see clearly what Lincoln was doing.

He was—

Going berserk!

Shuihua was absolutely sure that Lincoln was controlling the pace of the battle with a plan, arrangement, and calculation—otherwise, he would have died long ago. But just watching the on-screen performance, the only way to describe it was—”going berserk”.

The purpose of the tutorial level is to let players try out all types of weapons, so they can easily get started whether they go on to play single-player campaigns or multiplayer matches.

Thus, in the design, the first line of defense is bound to be broken, and the player will reasonably respawn at the second line of defense.

However, the issue is Cloud Dream games have always valued realism. Even if they want the players to die, they have to die “reasonably,” and they won’t inexplicably force the player to “mandatorily die”—that would be too abrupt.

Specifically for this stage, it means streaming unlimited enemy waves!

This is, after all, the era of modern weaponry, in a relatively dense space, one person, two hands, can’t possibly defeat dozens or hundreds of armed enemies.

But Lincoln’s performance has somewhat exceeded the planners’ expectations.

This guy can actually dual wield, firing simultaneously, scoring double kills within seconds!

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The most outrageous thing is: this isn’t a random flash of brilliance, he has maintained an incredibly high kill efficiency for over four minutes!

Not only is his shooting and reloading fast, but he can also multitask, attacking and advancing simultaneously, dealing with enemies from three directions at once!

Enemies often die instantly upon confrontation!

The light machine gun was discarded long ago, with Lincoln changing weapons at an alarming rate.

Bolt-action rifles kill quickly but require reloading, handguns don’t pack enough punch but can fire in succession, cold weapons cause high, continuous damage, but are too risky at close range… The weapons available at the first line of defense are limited, each with its own pros and cons.

Lincoln’s strength lies in: while maintaining high-intensity combat and super-fast killing speed, he spots the weapons in the enemies’ hands and decides instantly what weapon to switch to, firing it as soon as he picks it up, allowing near seamless transitions.

The audience in the live streaming room, witnessing this magnificent killing spree, were so excited by the spectacle that they not only spammed comments, but also couldn’t help shouting “Awesome!” in reality.

Shuihua’s eyes widened bit by bit.

For the first time, she had such a clear and direct feeling—Lincoln is amazing!!

Even the development team of “Battlefield” had Lincoln’s livestream room blown up on their screen, everyone thought it was impressive.

They believed that Lincoln has achieved an almost [Combat Sense] like effect without any skill assistance!

Lincoln was also slightly surprised: in previous games, with various skills that could be called cheating, he didn’t see the impressive combat talent Lincoln had.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

——In “Battlefield”, the system only assists the player in quickly learning to use weapons, but will not help you aim accurately. At most, it can slightly increase accuracy when you’re aiming steadily.

No more than that.

Even the enemies on the tutorial level, designed to be not too smart, with slow aiming and firing speed, and due to terrain restrictions, the maximum number of enemies rushing at once is only three or four…

But to maintain zero-mistake, high-efficiency rapid killing for such a long time, this is indeed a magnificent talent!

However, in the virtual office, after a brief moment of amazement, these “Stupid Planners” all around the room began to display sinister smiles.

After Lincoln knocked down another enemy with a shovel, he suddenly heard a sharp, whistle-like sound—as if something was slicing through the air at high speed?

The next moment—”Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

Five consecutive artillery shells landed at once, covering Lincoln’s position, and sent him flying straight up.

After being momentarily dumbfounded, Lincoln quickly reacted, shouting angrily in mid-air, “Five artillery shells for me alone?! Can’t you do the math?!”

“Pfft—” Shuihua couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The math class representative at the front desk raised his head alertly, casting a stern look in the direction of the sound.

But when he saw that it was his good friend and roommate, Shuihua, his stern expression instantly turned into a kitten’s, and he looked at Shuihua helplessly, warning her with his eyes, “I’m fierce! Behave yourself!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Shuihua quickly lowered her head and played nice.

She had no choice, she only attended evening class and would take a nap in the dormitory at noon. If she upset her roommate, she really would get tickled on the bed.

After waiting a few seconds, feeling that she had successfully dodged the bullet, Shuihua quietly picked up her phone again and switched to Camille Victoria’s live broadcast room.

Camille Victoria’s progress was faster than Lincoln’s!

Because she got brutally killed incredibly fast in almost every part, she hardly wasted any time…

By the time Shuihua checked in, she’d been handling a heavy machine gun for quite a while.

After enduring a series of deaths in the beginning, Camille Victoria finally started to enjoy the game at the second line of defense:

Occupying a high ground, holding a heavy machine gun, with someone continually loading bullets for her, all she needed to do was to rain fire down upon the enemies as they rushed the field.

Her comrades were constantly shouting out coordinates for her:

“They’re charging from the front! Take them out!”

“Flamethrower soldier! Over there! Keep firing! Puncture them all!”

“Watch out on the left!!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Airship incoming!”

“More enemies coming from the right!”

…

Excellent visibility, a stable gun mount, unlimited bullets, enemies rushing toward her to their deaths…all this made the game feel incredibly exhilarating!

She mindlessly mowed down every enemy she faced, a perfect stress reliever.

Even if the enemy shot back, could they possibly compete with her Vickers MK. I heavy machine gun, using their bolt-action rifles?

Are you out of your mind?

Even if she got hit by a bullet or two, Camille Victoria wouldn’t flinch, whoever dared to shoot at her, she would just turn her gun around and spray bullets back.

At this position, Camille Victoria was on a killing spree.

Anyone who approached was doomed!

It was unfortunate that there were no invincible positions on the battlefield. Just as she was shooting at a small group of three, her teammate suddenly cursed in horror: “Damn it!”

The next moment, an artillery shell hit the heavy machine gun position precisely.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The intense explosion completely destroyed the heavy machine gun. Camille Victoria was thrown away by the blast wave, her health was drastically decreased, she almost got instantly killed on the spot.

The teammate who had been loading her ammunition was even unluckier, he got instantly killed.

Camille Victoria lay on the ground, took a moment to recover from the shock of the explosion, and then soon realized: her health was quickly restoring.

“Okay, as long as I’m not dead, I’ll continue!”

Pushing herself up, she noticed a gun next to her, so she picked it up.

The system simply showed the name of ​this gun –

[M1900 Shotgun]

Camille Victoria glanced at it and kinda knew how to use it.

She was no stranger to shotguns, even though the specific models were different, both Metropolis and Night City had shotguns, she had used them before.

This experience, coupled with the assistance from the system now, was enough!

“They are about to break through! We retreat! Regroup at the church! We must hold there!” Her teammate shouted again.

The next moment, the enemy was already in front of her.

Without thinking, Camille Victoria fired her shotgun.

At a distance of two meters, a shotgun blast made the enemy look not like he had been shot, but like he had been hit in the face with a siege hammer! He was blown back and crashed into a wall, then slid down to the ground.

Dead as a doornail.

“That’s strong! It doesn’t feel this strong in Night City!” Camille Victoria felt the powerful recoil of the shotgun, spontaneously exclaimed: “Is it about grading? Or is it my illusion?”

But she did not have much time to ponder, enemies were surrounding her from all directions.

Following the sound, Camille Victoria turned around and fired a shot, the enemy who just turned the corner got instantly blown away again!

“Awesome!”

Reload, continue firing!

Camille Victoria felt a peculiar joy: unceasing enemies rushed towards her, but due to the narrowness of the position, only one or two could rush up at a time.

And with the shotgun she had, one blast one down, whoever popped up got laid down.

And kindly enough, they gave her time to reload, just finish reloading, and an enemy popped up again, once again, one shot one down.

It felt like whack-a-mole, with a very rhythmic pattern.

The only problem was, the enemies kept popping up continuously, she didn’t even have a breather, all she could do was to keep repeating the cycle of reloading – killing – reloading – killing, she just couldn’t stop.

In the process of fighting….she lost track of her teammates!

Indeed, throughout the level, she couldn’t distinguish who were enemies and who were her comrades-in-arms.

Everyone on the battlefield was filthy, amidst the intense fighting, there was no time to distinguish the difference in uniforms.

So, she could only attack whoever showed hostility.

Only when she realized that the enemies were coming from all directions did Camille Victoria become aware that she had lost contact with her teammates.

Lacking support was a minor problem – worst case scenario, she died!

The real problem was, without her teammates guiding her, she got lost…

It was only a distance of several tens of meters, the positions and trenches were not complicated, yet, she still got lost…

She saw nothing about any church or gathering point.

Amid her busy schedule, she had to find time to ask the audience in the comments: “Which way do I go?”

The audience was already in a panic:

“Turn back! Turn back!”

“You are running the wrong way!! You are about to run into the enemy’s base!”

“Getting lost on a battlefield, amazing!”

….

“Huh?” Camille Victoria hesitated for a moment, “The wrong way?”

“Bang!”

A bullet hit her right in the forehead!

Camille Victoria felt as if someone had hit her head with a hammer, her consciousness left her body and ascended into the sky, then it was pulled back several tens of meters to the rear line.

This was within expectations.

What she did not expect was, this time she became a tank soldier!

Moreover, she was operating both the tank gun and the machine gun on the tank as a gunner!

Looking at the barrel of the gun that was thicker than her own thigh, before Camille Victoria’s mind could react, an uncontrollable big smile spread across her face.

From bolt-action rifles, to light machine guns, heavy machine guns, shotguns and now the tank gun, she deeply realized-

On the battlefield, caliber was justice!
