Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1008: Chapter 936: Second Blossoming (Two in One)_3 Chapter 1008: Chapter 936: Second Blossoming (Two in One)_3 Although he was simply lusting after beauty yesterday, the important thing is that he is human, and that’s more than enough.

However, the General’s face darkened, and he shook his head in refusal, “She can’t do it!”

“Why?” Yi asked.

Miss Shinshi looked disappointed and sad at the General’s expression, and the staff around them started to discuss among themselves.

Just as the General was about to lose his temper, the surrounding walls suddenly lit up with red lights, and a harsh alarm sound echoed throughout the base.

[Warning——Warning——]

[Abnormal activity detected at the passageway, double event!]

[Event Details: Level 4 monsters, two of them.

Temporary Code Names: Tail-up Rat, Ridgeback Turtle]

[Estimated arrival: One hour from now]

Before the General could say anything, everyone scattered, rushing to their respective positions at full speed.

Yi and Miss Shinshi followed the General at a brisk pace to the preparation center.

By the time they arrived, everyone was already prepared, and the mecha pilots for the three groups were even in their armor, holding their helmets, ready to go.

The General began issuing orders: “Evacuate the residents immediately, close all bridges, bring all residents to the shelters!”

Be ready for battle!”

“Eureka Strikers, you will stand guard at the coastline from the rear, refrain from engaging in battle unless absolutely necessary.”

“Lastly, you two.” The General looked at Yi and Miss Shinshi.

“Activate the Dangerous Wanderer and enter battle readiness.

If the situation calls for it, I will order you to engage in battle.”

“Yes, General!”

Everyone sprung into action.

Miss Shinshi also revealed a radiant smile to Yi.

Yi felt somewhat uplifted by this.

——Things are going too smoothly!

*

The entire base had entered a state of war.

But it was clear that the staff were well accustomed to this state, busy but orderly.

Yi and Miss Shinshi put on their battle armor and entered the cockpit, logging into the [Blue StarFire 4.1] operating system.

Then came the final step:

[Neural interaction initiated.]

Once again, Yi’s consciousness began surging along an electronic river, where he encountered another flowing consciousness.

They met, fused, and then leaped from the electronic river onto another river—the river of consciousness and memories.

This was a one-way stream though.

A flurry of memories flashed before Yi’s eyes—they were not just his, they were of a girl and a boy—however, they were not his own, but those of the role he was playing.

When he was linked with his real brother before, he assumed that these fragments of memory were all his brother’s.

It wasn’t until his death that he realized some of those scenes actually belonged to “himself”.

Now, all these images appeared in this river, rushing quickly at him before disappearing in the blink of an eye.

“Damn it, what level of difficulty is this!” Yi cursed internally.

There was way more data and they were moving at a much faster speed compared to the prologue!

Moreover, with many images of Miss Shinshi as a child appearing, so cute and appealing, he couldn’t tear his eyes away.

As for the Dangerous Wanderer?

The moment this thought emerged in his mind, he was immediately drawn back to the scene where his brother was swallowed by the monster, and an intense sense of fear overwhelmed him.

[Warning!

Warning!

Synchronization rate is falling!]

Shaking his head to break free from the memory, Yi re-entered the river of consciousness and memories.

However, the warning continued:

[Warning!

Warning!

Synchronization rate is falling!]

[Pilot lost]

Just great!

Turning his head, Yi saw that Miss Shinshi’s eyes were closed, as if she had fallen asleep.

But it’s clearly impossible to fall asleep now, she must be lost in her memories!

He followed a faint sensation in the river of consciousness, and located the memory where Miss Shinshi was lost.

From the looks of it, it seemed to be a heavy snow?

He entered this scene, trying to wake her.

Upon entering, much to his surprise, standing before him was not Miss Shinshi, but Little Miss Shinshi—a 12-year-old little Lolita.

“Hello there~~” Yi greets her with the childish tone adults typically use when talking to children.

But the little lolita couldn’t hear his voice at all, hugging her teddy bear and sobbing uncontrollably, she had even lost one of her small shoes.

Yi blinked, understanding a bit.

“So this is the bewilderment.”

He reached out to touch the little girl’s head, but his hand passed right through her, as if touching a phantom.

Unable to intervene.

All Yi could do was follow behind her, whispering softly, “Don’t be afraid, all these things have passed, don’t be scared anymore.”

He understood that this memory clearly left a profound impression on Shinshi to the point that upon catching a glimpse of it in the river of consciousness, she was immediately drawn in and unable to extricate herself.

And the reason this memory was so impactful, Yi quickly saw –

A hulking 60-meter-tall lobster-like monster, collapsing high-rises one after another, was rumbling towards the mere 12-year-old Shinshi.

That was –

A level 2 monster, [Demon Witch]!

The little girl, so terrified that she ran into an alleyway and curled up in a corner covering her head, still couldn’t escape the massive creature.

It lowered its head, the creepy and horrifying mouth wriggling, stubbornly squeezing into the alley, hellbent on devouring her.

The little girl was sobbing hysterically, screaming as she raised her hands to resist the monster’s approach.

Seeing this, Yi’s first reaction was definitely heartache, but the little girl’s action suddenly triggered a not-so-pleasant memory of his…

“Shinshi!

Shinshi!

Wake up!

It’s all fake!

Fake!”

He hollered close to her ear, nearly lying over little Shinshi, “It’s fake!

Wake up!”

In reality, Tiantong in the command center was trying hard to call in, attempting to pull the lost pilot back, but suddenly saw [Dangerous Wanderer] raising its huge arm at him.

“?”

[Weapon system is ready, ion shells ready.]

“You’ve got to be kidding…” His voice began to tremble, the next moment, he screamed at everyone, “Evacuate!

Shut off the power!!”

As he spoke, the mecha’s right-hand palm began to deform and open, revealing the muzzle of the [I-19 Plasma Cannon], the intensely hot and bright plasma started brewing rapidly…

And then-

The light burst!

The extremely high-temperature plasma shot out from the muzzle, instantly melting the command center.

The plasma cannon was upgraded and modified, its power was even more astonishing, causing greater damage than when Yi first used it!

The command center was completely destroyed in an instant, the surrounding staff suffered greatly, the entire base became paralyzed.

In front of Yi, the system prompt popped up again-

[Dangerous Wanderer’s weapon system out of control, Broken dome command system obliterated, large number of staff sacrificed]

[In the double event, monsters used new type weapons, Crimson Storm, Cherno Alpha, and Eureka Striker died one after another]

[The world’s last hunter base-Broken dome, ended here]

[…]

[…]

[The world is once again heading towards destruction]

——

[Game Over]

[You have, once again, reached the ending -]

[Mankind Extinct]

[End Game/Return to Save Point]

“???” Yi froze.

“Again?!”

“Can’t I directly return to the previous save point?

Do you have to tease me first?”

“Is this never going to end?!!”

…

…

As Yi fell into a frenzy, Giselle finally sprung into action.

She boldly gathered all resources, ran back to “Chang’an”, and started passionately buying all secret books related to stick fighting!

Giselle had a strong hunch:

She was about to earn her first pot of gold soon!
