Chapter 171: Chapter 169: Trophy, Why is it Silver?
Translator: 549690339
Lance was satisfied to see that his words had made the assassins across from him hesitant and uneasy.
This gave him a different kind of thrill than combat!
If the story had been annoying him before, with his impression of the script constantly dropping to -0.1, -0.2, -0.3that intense battle had brought it all back up, restoring it to a perfect score.
And now, taunting his enemies was the cherry on top!
Out of 10, he gave it 100!
B0x.comTaunting NPCs might be boring, but taunting virtual characters that looked like real people was exhilarating!
Firefox was the first to break the silence, turning to Sloan and asking, Is what he said true?
Instead of denying it, Sloan tossed documents to the assassins, just like in the original story.
The names of everyone in this room have appeared on the Destiny Weaver. All of you have been declared dead by the apocalypse.
If I hadnt done this, youd all be dead already. I saved your lives! Sloan even began a speech without changing his expression.
Look at us now, stronger than ever! We act according to our own desires, changing everything! Choosing our own targets and reallocating power as we pleasenot following some so-called apocalypse!
Now, if anyone believes its necessary to follow the Alliances rules, raise your gun, put it in your mouth, and pull the trigger!
Thats what he wants.
Or, kill this bastard and let us lead the Alliance to a new future!
Choose.
With that, Sloan tried to leave.
Too bad for him, watching this cutscene was the most respect Lance would pay to the games design. Want to escape? Dont even dream about it!
He lifted his gun, activated his Assassins Bloodline, and pulled the trigger!
Bang!
A bullet fired, curved in an arc, and aimed straight for Sloan behind the bookshelf!
As the gunshot echoed, the Alliance members behind the bookshelf immediately took action, abandoning their long-held principles without thinking, and began to counterattack.
Except for one person.
Firefox.
She could never forget the cost of abandoning principleslosing her entire family.
But she didnt try to persuade anyone. Instead, she simply smiled, swung her arm, and fired!
From just five meters away, Lance witnessed the top-level performance of [Curved Shot]: a bullet carving a perfect arc, precisely piercing through the unguarded heads hidden behind the bookshelf, who were focused on Lance, before finally returning to its origin and penetrating Firefoxs own skull.
Lance couldnt see what was happening behind the bookshelf, but he saw the perfect circle and the sudden blossoming of blood from seemingly nowhere. He immediately understood what had happened
Firefox had actually adhered to the Alliances centuries-old principles and followed the apocalypse.
Not only had she ended her own life, but she also killed everyone targeted by the apocalypse in the room, completing her last assassination mission in life.
As he looked at the fallen Firefox, Lance suddenly felt a great sense of regret and wished hed had the chance to speak with her properly before.
So much so that after her astounding actions and departure from this world, he still knew almost nothing about her.
But he quickly collected himself, as Sloan was still alive!
The old man was too aged and slow, making it easy for Lance to catch up to him. He chased and fired at the leader of the Alliance like a dog.
Not only was Lance having a blast, but the audience in the live broadcast room was also finding it incredibly satisfying and exhilarating!
Lance chased him all the way to the room housing the Destiny Weaver, which was now a mess, with broken bricks and shattered tiles all over, the Weaver itself destroyed, and its pieces scattered everywhere.
Gasping for breath and clutching his injured arm, Sloan collapsed beside the broken weaver.
After activating his Assassins Bloodline several times, the frail man was out of breath from the chase, and with his right arm injured by a bullet, any chance of turning the tables was gone.
All he could do was try to plead with Lance: You cant
Bang!
Lance didnt want to listen to him anymore, so he finished off Sloan with a single gunshot to the head.
From this moment on, the Assassins Alliance would be no more!
At the same time, the main storyline had reached its conclusion!
A magnificent blend of cello, orchestral music, and soaring arias began to play.
Beams of light came from all eight directions, slowly gathering in front of Lance to form the shape of a trophy, gradually solidifying.
Thus, Lance and the audience all knewthe first completion battle was finally over at this moment. Although it had been a bumpy ride, in the end, Lance succeeded in taking the lead!
Unable to suppress the joy and satisfaction that bubbled up from within, every ounce of Lances happiness was visible on his face.
The audience, driven by excitement, showered him with rewards and gifts. Comments flooded the screen like a waterfall, filling it with excited OHHHH expressions so much that Lances game screen could hardly be seen.
But all of a sudden, everyone clearly heard Lance ask with a trembling voice,
Why is this trophysilver!?
Full of doubt and disbelief, he questioned: Shouldnt the trophy be gold?
The audience, unsure of what had happened, quickly disabled the comments to look at the trophy in Lances hand.
However, Lincoln, who was also watching the live stream, had already burst out laughing. Mavis, on the other hand, was zigzlinz non-stop throuzh the headphones.
Lance held the trophy up close to the camera and read the words engraved on the base, word for word
Congratulations on successfully clearing the main storyline of Assassins
Alliance!
Below this line, a small 2 was also engraved.
Lance lifted his head and stared straight into the lens, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.
The live broadcast room was stunned by this abrupt turn of events, with various reactions surfacing.
Some tried to comfort Lance:
Second place is still amazing! Youre so cool!
Yeah! Millions of people play this game! This trophy is worth its weight in gold!
This trophy should be displayable in the virtual house, right? Its so prestigious!
Others asked who won first place:
Did anyone see who got first place? In which live broadcast?
If you find it, share the link! Lets go see the excitement!
I didnt see it! I had the four fastest live streams open at the same time, and none were quicker than Lance!
However, most people couldnt stop laughing:
Small eyes, big confusion.
Ahah, didnt see that coming, right? Sniped!
I even redeemed my governors reward, only to find out it was a mistake! Boss, youre at a loss! Ha ha ha!
Lance: Its painful to lose first place, but scamming a governors reward isnt a loss!
Lincoln was also momentarily stunned by the twist, laughing so hard that his stomach hurt.
But he was also curious about who had obtained the first clear, so he directly asked Mavis through the headphones: Mavis, who got first place?
After finally stopping her laughter, Mavis replied through the headphones, I know! Its a recently retired professional gamer! His name is Roger! Whats even more amazing is that his actual online time was even shorter than
Lances!
Shorter than Lance? Lincoln was surprised.
Yeah, and he didnt use Rat Bombs to lower the difficulty! He single-handedly fought through the final stage by himself!
That incredible?! Lincoln was even more amazed, but soon he was puzzled again
If hes so incredible, why did he retire?
