Chapter 127 Helicopter... Orca Squad?
Today is Zhu En's eight-star advancement match.
By chance, he was recommended by his student Qiling to participate in a robbery once, and then he could never go back.
This event allows for legitimate racing, and you even have opponents following behind, providing background music with "whoosh whoosh" sounds, and occasionally spotlights shining on you, accompanying you all the way. It's just too cool, right?
Moreover, those adventurers were quite strong, and their ingenuity in vehicle modification made June feel like she had met her match.
This event really got this middle-aged man excited.
Alchemy Branch, Zhu En's Workshop.
The Red Comet is placed in the center, and it has changed significantly compared to the original version.
The extra gun barrel on top was removed, and the fancy backrest curves were completely eliminated, giving the entire vehicle a streamlined shape.
Coincidentally, the car's design was provided by Qiling, and it was called something like Yamaha R1, a rather strange name.
There were only a few exterior sketches, no detailed drawings, but Jun felt at first glance that the car's design was impressive.
As expected, after the modification, the speed of the red comet increased dramatically!
To ensure performance dominance, Zhu En also had the Creator add four attributes to the Red Comet: [Overload], [Lightweight], [Lubrication], and [Capacity Expansion].
In return, all the golems were requisitioned, but the Creation Machine paid rent and promised compensation for damages, so it was a win-win situation.
To cope with the side effects of overload, June developed a complete seawater cooling system, which is completely resistant to the risk of the furnace exploding!
He's a professor at the Alchemy Department, a completely different level from those adventurers who can't do research and only know how to take shortcuts.
Now, June puts on her helmet and is ready to go.
"match!"
Fang Qi received the request.
He personally approves the participation of indigenous people to ensure their safety.
After all, the natives are different from the players; they are a non-renewable resource. If they die in a car accident, they are truly gone.
Fang Qi originally didn't plan to let the academy's teachers and students participate in the competition, but he couldn't resist Zhu En's constant requests for help.
Fang Qi reluctantly agreed, thinking that Zhu En was at least level 70, had a lot of survival equipment, and had experience in racing and crashing.
"An eight-star advancement competition?" Fang Qi was somewhat surprised when he saw it.
Has he modified the car?
With its technological and performance advantages, Zhu En has few rivals in the seven-star range, except for Qiu Qiu who is going all out and Vicky who is utilizing computing power.
Now that he's finished his modifications, it's only natural that he's challenging an eight-star rating.
"Since you're aiming for an eight-star promotion and want my prize—I'll have to raise the bar!" Fang Qi pulled out his logic board, tapped a few times, and checked the list of online users.
Then, using the connection ability, he extended an invitation: "Aura, you four, will be playing the role of helicopters later!"
"What's a helicopter?" came the chirping voice.
"It's the air force, locking onto the target from above and providing guidance to the ground troops," Fang Qi explained. "You guys swim up there, and I'll give each of you a searchlight to illuminate the target."
.
"Aww~" Chirp chirp understood: "So it's about swimming to chase prey, huh? I can do that!"
Actually, there are differences. There are flood barriers near the college roads, so the Orca helicopter cannot swim at low altitudes.
There are also many water-avoiding buildings that act as obstacles, making it somewhat different from chasing prey in the sea.
However, Fang Qi didn't explain further, because this made it more like a real helicopter, didn't it?
Then came the selection of ground troops.
Arrange fifteen players, with their star ratings ranging from four to seven stars on average.
Match successful, the combat power table appeared before June's eyes.
[Power: Six Stars]
[Controls: Four stars]
Performance: Five stars
[Driver: Seven Stars]
Above him is a model of the Red Comet R1 that he had just modified.
"Control is only four stars," June frowned. "What went wrong?"
Fortunately, other aspects have also improved, and the power has even exceeded the upper limit of five stars, which Jun is quite satisfied with.
The matching process was about to begin, and there wasn't time for further checks. He turned back and carefully inspected the braking system and the flow-limiting bolts.
He nodded, put on his helmet, and said, "No problem this time, great, we've got it!"
Zhu En twisted the handlebars, and the crimson comet roared, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
"The NPC boss is about to advance to the next round. Let's go watch the police officer's first-person perspective on the forum!"
"Ah, if only we could have a live helicopter broadcast! First-person view isn't enough!"
Players with nothing to do gathered in twos and threes, took out tables, chairs, and dried squid, and started watching the excitement.
They were just about to switch to the perspective of the motorcyclist and the wheelchair user when they suddenly discovered that The Spirit of Books had started airing!
When I clicked in, I was surprised to find that it was a top-down view, right above the academy!
Could it be that air forces have appeared?
The audience looked up and could vaguely see several figures moving through the seawater above the academy, their powerful flashlight beams sweeping around.
This is going to be interesting!
Anyone who's frequently chased knows that whether there's a helicopter in the sky or not makes eliminating stars a completely different story.
But June had clearly never seen this thing before.
At first, he didn't pay much attention, thinking that the spotlights above him would not only not affect his operation, but would also illuminate the way ahead, making him run more energetically.
Relying on its maximum power, Zhu En sped along the highway, leaving one pursuer after another behind.
Ordinary modified cars couldn't even touch Jun's taillights, and even the motorcycle's signature burst acceleration could only barely reach them.
After following him for a while, he left me behind.
Because Jun's water cooling system is more stable, it's incomparable to the unorthodox methods like splashing water or watering plants.
"A mere eight stars? I can easily handle it with a single move." Zhu En unleashed his full power, brimming with confidence, as if he had returned to his youth, when he and his classmates assembled race cars and competed in speed.
But half an hour later, he had some doubts.
"No one has been chasing us for over ten minutes, why hasn't the star disappeared yet?"
It wasn't until two more spotlights shone down that Zhu En suddenly realized what was happening.
Really? Those guys above count too?
He had a bad feeling and suddenly looked up at Qiuqiu.
"Hello, Uncle Zhu En!" Chuchu waved and greeted him.
But June is not good at all!
Why are there also air units—no, underwater units?
He was affected by the terrain and player traps when running down there, but up there was the deep sea, so he could run unimpeded.
Moreover, orcas are known for their exceptionally fast swimming speeds, giving them a clear advantage on their home turf.
Ground troops were no match for his powerful engine; a single burst of full speed was enough to leave the pursuers far behind. The main threat now came from the four above.
"This won't do. We need to find a way to get out of the air force's sight."
June spun around and suddenly charged back the way she came.
He realized that there were many tall buildings near the Alchemy Academy, and many dedicated passageways for golems between the buildings.
As long as you create distance and sneak into the workshop to block its line of sight, you can take the opportunity to escape!
