After being fired from the diamond squid, I became a sea patrol ranger.

Spa tilted his head, but didn't think too much about it.

He heard the buzzing of flapping wings, and the true hibernating insects, their eyes gleaming with ferocity, transformed into a black tide and swarmed towards him.

Spare pulled the trigger, and bullets rattled out at an angle.

At the same time, weapons behind them opened fire.

Even more remarkably, the imaginary cannon revealed its muzzle, condensing golden light, vibrating and gathering power, accompanied by bursts of booming sounds, before firing its cannon.

boom!

Golden light engulfed the entire room.

The golden light grew brighter and brighter, gradually expanding, but it remained within a fixed range and did not break out of the house.

Meanwhile, the other weapons fired in succession. Spah sensed that the number of insects that hadn't been destroyed by the planet-destroying cannons was decreasing with each shot fired.

Before long, the golden light dissipated, and another hibernating insect surged forth.

Spare pursed his lips and raised his gun to fire.

A sudden gust of wind exploded, rushing straight past my ears with a howling sound.

Spall was slightly taken aback. He turned his head slightly and caught a shocking glimpse of a scene out of the corner of his eye.

Chapter 19 Who is the Ready Player One?

Spah saw over a hundred flying swords linked end to end, whistling past his ears.

Those flying swords have a unique shape.

One half of the swords was bright red, burning with orange-red flames. The other half, however, was entirely azure, its blade frozen with ice. The two types of flying swords merged into a mighty army, surging towards the insect.

Puff! Puff! Puff puff puff puff...

The stabbing sounds rang out in succession, but no blood flowed out.

Spall discovered that as soon as the true stinging insect bled from its head, the bloodstains were heated by fire and frozen, disappearing completely.

Before long, the area in front of me was cleared.

What skill did I select?

Spahic scratched his head, glanced at the panel, and then remembered what he had added to his skill points:

【Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Sword: Activates during attack intervals, summoning two types of flying swords, one of fire element and one of ice element. The more enemies killed before the attack interval, the more flying swords are summoned.】

As your level increases, the number and power of your flying swords also increase.

"..."

Spa glanced at the description, paused briefly, then extended his finger and tapped the panel repeatedly to allocate points to the [Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Sword].

With this skill... her damage output will definitely double. Silver Wolf lacks offensive capabilities, so the skill's bonus will certainly not be as high as mine.

Spa licked his lips and frantically pressed the level-up button. But this time, while he was leveling up, he didn't forget to deal damage.

He pressed the panel with his left hand and raised his gun with his right, while various weapons behind him roared in unison, flashing gold, red, and blue light like fireworks.

In the blink of an eye, all the stinging insects in the room evaporated.

Spall didn't stop, striding towards the next room, ignoring the insects that rushed towards him, and opened fire immediately.

Tap tap! Tap tap tap... Boom! Snap! Thud...

Various sound effects filled the air, with flames and ice swirling in succession, golden light flashing, bullets crisscrossing, crackling and booming, weaving between the two extremes of ice and fire, eliminating wave after wave of insects, and Spa's stats steadily climbed.

[0265], [0521], [0923]...

As he advanced, his score climbed steadily. Spa sprinted through the narrow corridor, heading deeper into the cabin.

The once pitch-black corridor was now as bright as day under his continuous output. Orange and gold hues successively enveloped the cabin.

Before long, his stats had soared to 3258.

Haha, even though I started late, even Silver Wolf wouldn't have my output efficiency...

Spah blinked and curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

【3612】, this is Silver Wolf's kill record.

Even now, Spa has still not caught up with Silver Wolf, and at this moment, the cabin gradually reaches the end, with only one last department remaining.

Spah caught a glimpse of the silver wolf's back from afar.

The girl crossed her legs, put her arms behind her head, hummed a cheerful tune, blew out pink bubblegum, and turned around.

"Oh, the defeated opponent has finally arrived..."

Silver Wolf narrowed his eyes and raised his chin. The action seemed ordinary, but to Spall, it was no different from a provocation.

Spa has always been an emotionally stable person.

Although he was very competitive, he did not throw a tantrum. Instead, he crossed his arms and stared quietly at the silver wolf.

Seeing that Spall wasn't arguing, Silver Wolf felt bored. He rolled his eyes and said provocatively:

"Why aren't you saying anything? I get it! You must feel that you've lost to me, and you're completely convinced and speechless."

“Yes, Miss Silver Wolf is the strongest.” Spah nodded.

He suddenly raised his hand and pointed in a direction.

"Look! The Stone Sword's Ether Cartridge!"

Spa amplifies the volume.

Silver Wolf was incredibly clever and wouldn't be easily fooled. However, she admired Stone Sword so much that she couldn't help but glance at where the finger was pointing.

It was no wonder that Silver Wolf actually saw a cartridge lying there, and judging from its appearance, it was exactly the same as the one Black Tower had shown before.

Silver Wolf was stunned. Although she was clear-headed and told herself not to move, her legs involuntarily changed position.

When he turned around, Silver Wolf had already run to the cassette tape, bent down, picked up the Ether cassette tape, and placed it in front of him.

"Haha! You've fallen for it, you stupid wolf!"

Spall shouted, quickened his pace, and dashed into the room. Immediately, there was a clattering sound and flashes of light inside.

"Spar! You bastard!"

Silver Wolf realized she had been tricked, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she took off to give chase, but she stopped halfway through.

She heard that the fighting inside had stopped and the light had dimmed, and Spa's stats had reached [3756].

The outcome has been decided.

"Bastard... scoundrel"

Silver Wolf clenched his fist, lowered his head, and read the Ether cartridge in his hand. To his surprise, he discovered that the cartridge could actually be read.

However, when she read the contents, her face instantly turned the color of a ripe apple.

The cartridge didn't contain Stone Sword's biographical information, but rather footage of Spa playing all the games.

Spah played while muttering to himself:

"White Monkey is such a great game! I'll definitely recommend it to Silly Wolf next time I meet her."

"Ugh! Playing alone is so boring. Maybe I should call Star Core Hunter and ask Silver Wolf to play with me..."

"So weak! Not even as good as that stupid wolf... Wait! Spa, you can't be so lazy, get back to work and find a target..."

"..."

Silver Wolf swiped through several records and was surprised to find that half of them mentioned her name. He immediately felt embarrassed and hot all over. He stomped his feet and ran straight to Spa's room.

"Spa, you...you...what's wrong with this cartridge?"

Silver Wolf questioned.

"What? To beat you, I used my destiny ability to forge a document. The content is just a random fragment from my memory..."

Spall answered.

"No, no, no... why is it game data?"

"What game record? Never mind that, today is my 382nd victory against you. Congratulations!"

Spah curled his lips into a smile and stuck out his tongue. In an instant, Silver Wolf forgot his embarrassment and moved closer to Spah:

"You cheated! What's so great about that? It was clearly me, the 382nd victory, Spa no less!"

"Cheating? What about your jump start?"

"That's within the rules!"

"The rules don't say I'm not allowed to use my destiny ability, do they?"

"Ouch...ow!"

Silver Wolf bared its teeth and nudged Spa with its head. Spa did the same, staring intently into Silver Wolf's eyes with its large eyes.

The two men were headbutting each other, neither willing to give in.

right now

Dada! Dada!

Footsteps sounded, and Spah turned his head to find the Black Tower doll already standing beside him. The doll pursed its lips, suppressing a laugh, and said:

"You two are both celebrities, how come you argue like children? Pfft..."

Black Tower couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In an instant, both Spah and Silver Wolf blushed.

Fortunately, Spah had seen a lot, and within two seconds he regained his senses, approached the Black Tower, clenched his fists, and they cracked.

"When I was at the company, I heard that... figurines of members of the Genius Club are extremely valuable, and could even be exchanged for a planet."

As Spah spoke, he winked at the silver wolf.

"Spar, your thinking is too simplistic."

Silver Wolf, as if on cue, only hesitated for a moment before realizing: "This doll is no ordinary figurine. It's a limited edition personally made by Black Tower, and it can be exchanged for an entire fleet of the company."

"No! Silver Wolf, you can't maximize your profits by thinking like that."

Spall chuckled mischievously, "We should disassemble the doll parts and sell them in batches. The money we make will be enough to buy land on the fairy ship."

As he spoke, Spah summoned a hammer and wrench, moved closer to the puppet, and pretended to dismantle it.

"Stop! Stop, stop, stop!"

Black Tower's voice sharpened as he raised his hammer, holding it protectively to his chest:

"You two, didn't you want to settle this? I have another big guy here. Whoever can defeat him will get a thousand points."

After finishing speaking, the Black Tower doll didn't dare to linger. It took off running and disappeared into the depths of the room.

When she reached the deepest part, the originally ordinary wall suddenly cracked open, turning into a doorway and revealing a pitch-black passage.

The black tower ran into the passage.

"There are actually points?"

Silver Wolf's eyes lit up. As a hardcore gamer, the girl's mind would temporarily abandon rationality when she encountered a game. Without suspicion, she followed Black Tower's steps and walked straight inside.

But Spall realized something was amiss:

Based on my experience... Black Tower is a very aloof woman, and she can simply discard a mere doll. Why would she act afraid just because the doll is in danger?

This is clearly a trap, a way to lure the enemy deep into our trap!

Spall pondered, reluctant to move forward, but then he caught a glimpse of Silver Wolf's back and, fearing something might have happened to her, gritted his teeth and decided to follow.

The corridor was quite long, and it took Spa and his two companions a long time to jog all the way to reach an elevator.

They rode the elevator downwards, the buzzing of its engine filling their ears. Soon after, the buzzing stopped, and the three of them stepped out of the elevator.

The three of them ran faster. Spah twisted his eyes, observing his surroundings, and noticed that the originally narrow corridor was becoming wider and wider.

Before long, Spa and his two companions arrived at an open space.

The open space was pitch black, with only a faint light illuminating it. Spa looked around and found that the open space was wide but circular in shape, resembling an arena.

A sense of foreboding washed over me.
