Chapter 327 Goods from other places are still more effective
"There's something wrong with your bomb," Chen You said, looking displeased.
"Impossible!" Hill jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Anything produced by Hill is guaranteed to be top-notch! This is high-end stuff capable of creating black holes!"
"Take a look for yourself." Chen You opened the item panel and pointed out the line "Forced Damage 1 point" to her.
Hill leaned closer for a glance, her eyes darting around for a moment, then she puffed out her chest confidently: "That's right! So what?"
"Is this a bomb? This is just a big firework that does 1 point of damage!" Chen You gritted his teeth.
"Boss, can't you be reasonable?!" Hill banged on the counter with a wrench. "What did you just say?"
"You said it had to be a 'remarkably realistic death,' 'leaving no trace,' 'causing extraordinary celestial phenomena,' and 'a grand spectacle!'"
"Which condition of my bomb doesn't meet your requirements?"
"Are the lighting effects maxed out? Are the anomalies huge? Are you down to just 1 point of health? Is this bomb just about to blow you up?"
Hill's rapid-fire attacks left Chen You speechless for a moment.
"Besides," Hill scoffed, "this is Hidden Star City! What kind of good person would actually use an antimatter bomb to blow up the city?"
"If it were the full-power version, not only you, but half the city would be gone! Wouldn't the city lord skin me alive and use me as a basketball?"
Chen You took a deep breath.
He knew he couldn't reason with this NPC, so he cut straight to the point.
"This bomb has a range of 10,000 meters and can attack indiscriminately. When I used it, there were at least tens of thousands of players around me."
"I can't hurt them, not even a single drop of blood."
Hill paused for a moment, looked Chen You up and down, and his eyes became strange.
"Boss, you're such a good person. You're about to die yourself, and you're worried about bleeding onto others?"
"Enough with the nonsense," Chen You said coldly. "Is there any way?"
Her eyes darted around, and she tugged at her leather jacket.
"Then...it's from out of town?"
Chen You nodded.
"Let me see it. I need something that only creates hype, doesn't harm anyone, and absolutely cannot have any PvP judgment."
Hill bent down and crawled under the counter.
This search took even longer.
With a few thuds of heavy objects hitting the ground and a few indistinct curses, she finally stood up again.
He now held a white jade box engraved with golden runes.
This box is completely out of place with the wasteland heavy metal style of the Supreme Tower, exuding an aura of sacredness and inviolability.
"Top-quality goods smuggled from the divine city." Hill carefully placed the white jade box on the counter without making a sound.
"The collapse of the Heavenly Way."
"The core of the formation, which was originally intended for large-scale sacrificial and blessing ceremonies, was slightly 'modified' by our people."
Chen You opened the panel.
【Item Name: Collapse of Heavenly Dao (Special Modified Wonder Item)】
[Quality: Myth]
[Item Description: The highest-level priestly core of Oracle City, a contraband item illegally implanted with a destructive program. Upon detonation, it will release a holographic projection of laws covering the entire city.]
[Effect: The sky shatters, raining down harmless, law-based blood.]
The detonator will be locked onto by a guiding light that pierces the heavens and earth, and their body will dissipate into data (a predetermined target that is not an enemy unit, forcibly killed).
[Additional Status: All living beings within the explosion radius are forcibly stunned for two seconds. No damage is dealt, and PvP mechanics are not triggered.]
[Note: The more you act tough, the more brutal the beating. Oh, you're already dead, that's fine then.]
Chen You looked at the panel, and his tense smile finally relaxed.
There is no damage assessment, but there is forced shock and stun, as well as the Lawful Blood Rain and the Light of Guidance.
This perfectly aligns with his desire for a high-profile exit.
Two seconds of collective stiffness were enough to push the atmosphere to its climax, leaving all the onlookers stunned and unable to move as they watched him leave.
"How much?"
Hill held up two fingers, then added three more, opening his entire palm.
"Five thousand gold coins, fixed price."
"Getting this thing through security requires going through many complicated procedures, which is extremely costly."
As expected, you get what you pay for.
Chen You directly allocated five thousand gold coins.
Hill watched his account balance fluctuate, and a smile instantly bloomed on his face.
"Boss, happy transaction. May you die a glorious death and be remembered in history."
Chen You put away the jade box and turned to walk towards the teleportation portal to the training room.
However, before I could even start fighting monsters, I received another message from Moon Arrow.
[Moon Arrow]: Chairman Chen, has something happened? Do you need any help?
Chen You raised an eyebrow.
I never expected the leader of this god race to care about me so much.
[Chen You]: It's a small matter, just go through the motions.
There was a two-second silence on the other end.
[Moon Arrow]: I understand. It seems even I can't interfere. But if needed, just ask. At least we can get some more cannon fodder, right?
"..."
This ability to fill in the blanks is truly something else.
[Chen You]: No, it's really not necessary. It's just a task.
After sending the message, Chen You immediately closed the chat window and started grinding monsters.
Meanwhile, outside the training room, Hidden Star City had completely descended into madness.
The world announcement refreshes every ten minutes.
【Experience Rain】.
These four words struck a nerve with all players.
No need to fight monsters or do quests, you can gain experience just by standing in the city and getting rained on.
Who would want to miss out on such a windfall?
"Stop pushing! Who did I stuff my staff into?!"
"Ouch! Who stepped on my foot? My brand new epic combat boots!"
"Hurry up, you in front! Holy crap! Someone's popping out from below me!"
The once spacious teleportation array in the central square of Hidden Star City is now operating at a frantic rate of ten flashes per second.
Every time the white light flashes, dozens or even hundreds of players are ejected.
The streets were packed with people; from above, it looked like countless ants fighting over a piece of candy that had fallen to the ground.
"Don't push! Don't push! I'm getting motion sickness from teleportation, I'm going to throw up!"
"vomit--"
"Holy crap! Who spat on my helmet?! I just got a rare enchantment on it!"
"Hurry up! The teleportation array is about to explode!"
The crowd surged like a tide.
On the main road, a three-meter-tall Titan berserker was squeezed so much that his feet were lifted off the ground.
His pride in his strength was utterly useless against sheer numbers; all he could do was wave his thick arms in a helpless rage.
"Put me down! Which bastard is touching my thigh!" the berserker roared.
"Brother, bear with it, I don't want to touch it either, I can't get my hand out." A weak voice came from below.
Not far away, the pointed ears of an elven archer were squeezed and bent at a ninety-degree angle.
Her once-proud, smooth blonde hair was now a mess, and her leather armor had been torn in several places.
Two handprints appeared on his chest without him noticing.
"Make way! This is a private event for our guild! All other personnel, please step back!"
A team of players with an average level of over 50 attempted to forcibly clear a space on the street.
As soon as they finished speaking, the crowds surging in from all directions completely overwhelmed them.
The leading knight, shield and all, was trampled underfoot, leaving only one hand futilely clawing at the air.
"Screw you, you bastard!"
"Step on him! He dared to cut in line!"
The scene was extremely chaotic.
Stampede incidents occurred one after another.
White lights kept flashing in the crowd; those were squishy characters with low health being crushed to death and forcibly sent back to the respawn point.
But the respawn point is inside the city.
The players who had just respawned hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath before they were swept up by a new wave of people and rushed toward the main street.
Players were hanging all over the rooftops of shops, the crossbars of streetlights, and even the statues on the outer wall of the city lord's mansion.
