Chapter 347 - Chapter 347 Chapter 336 I Really Didnt Use Cheats (2nd Update)

Chapter 347: Chapter 336 I Really Didn’t Use Cheats!! (2nd Update) Chapter 347: Chapter 336 I Really Didn’t Use Cheats!! (2nd Update) Mo Shigui was coordinating the situation on the battlefield, where during team instances, the function of a Spirit was to display the status of the entire team on one side of their vision.

But even if this status panel was very streamlined, it still required a formidable ability to capture information and judgment to check the conditions of the fifty-three players in the team all at once.

This was what Mo Shigui excelled at… This time, the Black Ash Knight had wiped out thirteen of their members with a single summoning of Black Ash Summoned Beings, but all thirteen members were pulled back up through the intertwined use of the healers’ Group Resurrection Technique and individual Resurrection Techniques.

The Group Resurrection Technique was the healers’ level forty-five ultimate skill with a cooldown of a full twenty minutes, whereas the cooldown for the Resurrection Technique was three minutes.

This was still under the effect of a buff called ‘Spiritual Stimulation’ that halved their skill cooldowns.

The health of the Black Ash Knight had been reduced by one hundred twenty thousand, and it still had six hundred thousand left. As long as they could take down the Black Ash Knight, the four Magic Thieves who had entered the battlefield wouldn’t pose any issue.

The health points of the Magic Thieves were three times that of the Black Ash Knight, but without the assistance of a lord-level dragon, their combat power was just that of players with one hundred times more health and double the attack power.

The Black Ash Knight was the real troublesome one, Mo Shigui couldn’t let him release a second wave of the Black Ash creations!

But what made Mo Shigui feel somewhat desperate was… the Black Ash Knight’s ability to release the Black Ash creatures had no cooldown.

He pounced on a Judo player using Wolf Style Sword and pinned them to the ground, absorbing the player’s life and magic power before the viscous black fluid began to gather inside him again.

Mo Shigui estimated that after slaying two more players, the Black Ash Knight would be able to release the Black Ash creatures again!

“The second wave of Magic Thieves will be handled by the seven-man team I previously arranged to hold them off! Everyone else focus all out on the Black Ash Knight!” Mo Shigui issued more detailed combat commands in the team channel.

But what made Mo Shigui despair was… the viscous black fluid was already starting to slowly seep out from the gaps in the Black Ash Knight’s armor.

Where was the sniper team?

Mo Shigui turned his head to look towards the commentary booth at the very top of the arena, where he had stationed two eagle-eyed players and one professional player responsible for protection.

In the shadows at the highest part of the venue… Wan Xiang was adjusting various data on her Death Ode’s scope. She had been crouching here with an eagle-eyed player from the Abyss Temple for some time.

Perhaps because of the distance from the center of the battlefield, the Black Ash creations summoned by the Black Ash Knight hadn’t affected the two of them.

“Wan Xiang, One-Eyed Scarecrow, the second wave of summoning is coming. The target is the crystallization on the chest of the Black Ash Knight’s armor, the size of a thumb, it’s entrusted to you both,” said Mo Shigui, reminding the two eagle-eyed players through a dedicated voice channel. Wan Xiang did not respond, but Scarecrow replied for her, “No problem at all.”

While Wan Xiang focused on aiming her scope at the Black Ash Knight in the arena, his movements were incredibly fast and completely irregular.

He was like a humanoid terror wolf with extraordinary jumping ability, leaping into the air and crashing down like a meteor with the heavy black sword in his hand as the center of gravity, and few players targeted by the Black Ash Knight could dodge his attack.

And Wan Xiang could only catch the moment when the Black Ash Knight landed on the ground.

Eventually… as more and more pitch-black fluid overflowed from the Black Ash Knight’s body, the moment Wan Xiang’s finger touched the trigger, she heard a voice that made her freeze in place.

“Little Wan? Why are you here? And what’s with that outfit? And… what you’re holding in your hand, is that an M82A1? With special effects added?”

It was the voice of a mature man, and Wan Xiang, hearing it, incredulously turned to her side, where a man dressed in security attire was standing next to her.

“Wan Xiang! Don’t get distracted by people in real life!” Scarecrow reminded his partner at that moment.

This city’s holographic projection exhibition covered all areas inside the sports hall, creating many interactive moments between the audience and the characters in the holographic projections during the game producers’ presentations.

Things like a gigantic whale swimming through the holographic seating area happened.

Wan Xiang could also see the audience sitting in the stands from her position.

This sniping position was specially arranged by General Silver, and normal spectators couldn’t get here; even regular staff couldn’t access this spot.

But the man standing beside Wan Xiang right now wasn’t just any ordinary staff member.

“Dad?” Wan Xiang gaped at the person next to her in shock.

“WTF?” Scarecrow was also stunned when he heard Wan Xiang say that word; he turned his head to look at the man who had suddenly appeared beside them.

This man was a person from the real world, not a Spirit player; he wore AR glasses, so he could see Wan Xiang and Scarecrow even without the holographic projections.

From his attire… he looked like he might be security staff from the club? No… probably higher ranking than security staff. Scarecrow, a devoted military enthusiast, could tell this man was no ordinary security guard.

“Xiao Wan, what on earth is going on here?” the man’s brow furrowed as well; he had rushed over after hearing the sound of gunfire.

Even though officials had declared it was just a sound effect from the game, the gunfire had sounded far too realistic. The man couldn’t be at peace without checking it out himself.

And his hunch was correct. Upon arriving at the location of the gunfire, he saw a sniper rifle that was unmistakably familiar, with maybe just a little more sparkly lighting effects added to it.

The realism of everything before him made it impossible for the man to see it as just a projection, and what’s more critical was that the sniper rifle was the kind that could turn a person to mincemeat with one shot. This was also a perfect sniping spot. If the sniper wanted to… the lives of everyone in the club were as easy to take as drawing an R card in a ten-pull gacha.

But as the man got closer, he realized the sniper was his own daughter, who was still in high school!

“I… I…” Faced with her own father, Wan Xiang became completely panic-stricken. No one in the world could stay calm when caught by their parents playing games in an internet cafe, sneaking away from school! No one!

Even though Wan Xiang could remain calm while sniping, at the moment she faced her own father, her mind had completely short-circuited.

“You have your college entrance exam next month, but here you are…” The man was also somewhat dumbfounded.

Doing what here? At the highest point of the club packed with tens of thousands of people, playing with her friend with an anti-material sniper rifle?

This surely surpassed the usual boundaries of what a high school girl would do when skipping class, right?! Plus, wasn’t today the weekend?

“Xiao Wan! Come back with me!” the man still did what a parent would do upon finding their child… playing games on the eve of their exams. He tried to drag her back from the internet cafe.

But when the man reached out to grab Wan Xiang’s arm, his hand passed right through her arm. At that moment, he realized that the Wan Xiang before him was just a holographic game character.

“Wan Xiang, forget your dad for now; our sniping target has appeared,” Scarecrow reminded Wan Xiang loudly at this moment.

The sniping target?

“I’m sorry.” Wan Xiang knew the urgency of the matter, and she wanted to prove to her father that, aside from studying, she had other talents.

After putting on her hood, Wan Xiang’s gaze returned to the scope, locking on to the Black Ash Knight in the arena.

Sorry for what? Also…

“Xiao Wan! Didn’t I tell you that you can’t use the M82A1 standing up!” The man suddenly realized that Wan Xiang was standing while holding the M82A1!

It was a dangerous thing to do; even a grown man would not dare to do this. The massive recoil of the M82A1 would immediately give anyone brazen enough to try… a taste of a fractured shoulder blade!

But it was too late for the man’s warning. Wan Xiang pulled the trigger, and within the world of Spirit, the M82A1 was known as Death Ode. Its name had become flashier, and the special effects were extremely cool.

The initial gunshot sounded normal, but the next second, the noise twisted into a roar like that of the Grim Reaper.

The massive recoil spread with the sound of gunfire. Even though it was a projection in the game, at such a close distance, the man could feel the tremendous shockwave from this anti-material sniper rifle–a rifle capable of piercing tank armor.

But what shocked him even more was that his daughter was not only shooting the anti-material sniper rifle standing up, but she was also firing it in rapid succession!

The recoil seemed non-existent at that moment. Wan Xiang was only about one meter sixty tall, and her arms were so slender they evoked pity. Yet, this little girl held the M82A1 and pulled the trigger, worked the bolt, and fired again, all in less than half a second.

The man watched this scene in stunned silence, feeling as if something about this world was quite abnormal.
