My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2989 -995: Ha, You Think Outdated DDoS Attacks Work on Our Steam Engineering Society?

“Twenty minutes, huh? More than enough!”

Ruyi set up a countdown on her self-made mechanical wristwatch, then pulled out a pistol, waved her hand, and noisily charged into the left mechanical passage with the other half-bodied people.

“Was that your disciple just now?”

Minkus watched Ruyi and the half-bodied players disappear into the mechanical passage; he looked at Old Flywheel with a puzzled expression and said:

“I thought you wouldn’t take another disciple after what happened with Jasmine and Dina.”

“I didn’t intend to take any disciples. My relationship with Little Ruyi is quite complicated. Although I am teaching her engineering and the knowledge of making Calculating Pearls, she’s also teaching me a lot in the process.”

Flywheel shrugged and said:

“In her words, this is called ‘conjugated mentorship.’

Don’t underestimate her; she’s skilled in an area that is a ‘blind spot’ in our half-bodied people’s technological development, and I expect she’ll soon showcase her powers in a very straightforward manner before us.

But Minkus…

You have twenty minutes to think about the stance Charldo Harbor should adopt in the upcoming situation after tonight, especially knowing that our mentor has joined Twilight and become one of the World Destroyers.

You, I, and Little Bach—how should we face him?

This will directly affect how we get along in the future, and your image in Sir Murphy’s eyes.”

“Sir… Murphy?”

Minkus squinted at his once rebellious senior brother, and he said:

“Did you willingly become his follower? Why?”

“Because he represents a future I don’t dislike!”

Old Flywheel answered directly:

“You might think you can stay neutral, but you actually can’t. When it comes to matters concerning Twilight, you either become his assistant or his enemy. Minkus, be cautious and decide soon!

As I roam through the creator’s knowledge and increasingly understand the creator’s greatness and wisdom, I can further comprehend how terrifying the trouble Twilight can cause.

The time left for us is not as abundant as you think.”

The old half-bodied man nodded.

He did not immediately respond; after watching Old Flywheel disappear into the right passage with his two secret puppet students, Minkus also led his mechanics towards the energy zone.

In the left passage, the half-bodied players were already battling those rebellious mechanical security units. These steampunk-style mechanical beings aren’t just humanoid; in fact, the traditional mechanics’ approach to creating combat weapons is similar to the Mechanical Teachings, and the half-bodied people made many Mechanical Beasts for protection.

To deal with these guys, knives and swords naturally won’t do; more destructive items are needed.

Ruyi led the players almost entirely with Iron Fist Missiles, blasting any moving machinery on sight, and if the opponent could still move, she would blast again.

The explosion smoke and the moans of mechanical beasts when damaged excited the half-bodied people; these small-statured players crashed around, charging through the mechanical hall while shouting crazy things like DPS smashes, making the place look like a mechanical style dungeon raid.

However, as the temporary team leader and mechanic, Ruyi had her own combat style.

She disdained using bulky and dangerous weapons like Iron Fist Missiles. Her weapon was the special Adventure Assistant on her wrist; ordinary players’ Adventure Assistants have only three Calculating Pearls as the core unit, but Little Ruyi’s one had four for data redundancy, and the core processing unit luxuriously used two ‘third-and-a-half-generation’ pearls as a parallel core.

This was truly high-end! It was considered a real luxury in Charldo Harbor.

That was personally designed by her under Old Flywheel’s guidance according to her fighting style. Facing flesh creatures, Little Ruyi’s special weapon was useless, yet once she’s in this mechanical zone, she wielded a supremely sharp ‘Hacker Quickblade.’

“Ouch!”

A fire-breathing Mechanical Spider lunged at Ruyi with gears spinning swiftly at its back, intending to tear her into pieces; but Ruyi remained calm, clicked several times on her wrist-mounted Adventure Assistant, casually flicking her fingers, and shouted:

“Combat Protocol Four! My turn, data explosion!”

“Buzz”

The lunging Mechanical Spider seemed to be hit by an invisible heavy punch; its enormous body slammed onto the ground and started twitching madly, as if Ruyi had inflicted substantial pain on this non-feeling mechanical organism.

After a few seconds of shaking and twitching, with a dull sound emanating from the mechanical spider’s control unit, the latter screamed and spewed forth odious black smoke before completely shutting down.

“Whoa! Awesome, Ruyi Sister, you KO’d the elite monster!”

A half-bodied assassin named “Boss Says I’m Short” exclaimed beside her:

“Nearly twenty thousand health points cleared in one go? The elite old players can’t even do that! How did you do it? Did you use cheats? I heard you’re a super awesome Big Black hacker, so did you write a cheat specifically for this game?

Is your cheat for sale?”

“Shoo, shoo, shoo, the game helmet has no hardware interface; how could I write a cheat?”

Ruyi popped a hard candy into her mouth, crossed her arms and wagged her finger, saying arrogantly:

“This is the power of localized virus attacks; I used Spiritual Energy Factors to simulate programming and created a ddos attack data protocol. Nearly ten thousand access attacks per second were enough to crash these mechanics’ Calculating Pearls.

The half-bodied people’s data security doesn’t even have a firewall, so my virus attacks are prevailing.

When fighting the BOSS, I’ll use this thing to show Old Bach something new!

Hey, this is how we cyber hackers fight!”
