NFBE Chapter 4: Player Pound's Brilliant Finishing Move
Chapter 4: Player Pound's Brilliant Finishing Move
Edge of the Cathedral Square.
"Cough cough cough~~"
The person who didn't eat beef was thrown to the ground by the shockwave, his face covered in dust and rubble, and system notifications kept ringing in his ears.
In Stellaris, the player's sensory system has an automatic sensory feedback rate of 10% at the lowest and a maximum of 25% at the highest, and there is also a specific pain immune system to protect against it.
He doesn't eat beef because he enjoys being in jail and doesn't like being tortured, so he only chose the basic 10% sensory feedback adjustment.
The shockwave from the attack caused his vision to blur briefly, and his health dropped by half, but thankfully he didn't die.
He struggled to his feet, the live stream camera shaking violently.
The number of viewers in the live stream has now exceeded 80 and is still rising rapidly.
The screen was flooded with comments, but fortunately he had already turned on accessibility mode. In this mode, the comments would only appear when he wanted to see them, and would not affect his gameplay at all.
[WC, it's an assassination attempt!]
[This is blatant murder!]
[Please don't die, streamer! I still want to watch the live stream!!]
[This version's plot is explosive!]
[The homestead line has been expanded too much? ]
[Mars is about to undergo a dramatic change!!]
[Streamer, zoom in! A player over there has just attacked!]
In the midst of the chaos, Bu Chi Niu subconsciously followed the comments and looked ahead. He saw a red name rush out of the smoke and dust, and instinctively cast an appraisal.
[ID: 英斤就是磅]
The live chat erupted with comments about the outrageous name and the outrageous behavior that followed.
[Oh, so the British pound is pound~~~]
[What a fitting name!]
[***, this is also blocked, but why is Dio Mao allowed to openly display this name in his ID...]
[This pound sterling isn't going to...no way, it really is going to...]
[Hey, you silly Chun, what are you doing?! Don't you dare ruin the game for the Martian colonists?!]
Pound wore a silver prosthetic eye, had short hair slicked back, and a data interface implanted in the side of his neck that gleamed faintly. His overall demeanor exuded a cyberpunk-esque street sharpness. He gripped a kinetic shotgun called "Black Spider (Good Green)" in one hand and rushed toward the cover with extremely fast steps.
This weapon is already bound to the player's own space, meaning there's no need to worry about it being stolen, which is why he carries the Black Spider.
To be honest, the pound was actually just doing a treasure hunt called "The Legacy of the Black Spider" at the beginning.
Unexpectedly, while doing this, I came up with a hidden mission to assassinate a cardinal of the church.
He was wondering at the time, what had this mission done to him?
Is this still a treasure hunt mission?
How did a perfectly good treasure hunt turn into an assassination attempt on the cardinal?
But then I thought, if he succeeds in this mission, wouldn't he become a celebrity in the game's world?
Without a second's hesitation, the pound accepted.
Who said this mission is a rip-off? This mission is fantastic!
Putting aside the reward, just the fact that completing this task will make me a part of Martian history means that Martian students will have to write my name when they encounter this question on their exams...
Just thinking about this makes me feel cool!
We must do it!
He [the English word "jin" means pound] is determined to complete this task, even if it costs him money!
The players in their home world have been imprisoned for too long and also want to experience the thrill of defeating a high-level BOSS!
At this moment, the four security knights have returned to their positions.
The beam impact from the Skydrive I had just taken away half of their health, and coupled with the chaos at the scene, by the time they noticed the British pound approaching, the enemy was already right up to their faces.
boom--
The pound quickly approached a security guard, then raised his gun and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
As the gunshot rang out, the unfortunate security guard's health bar was instantly depleted, and he collapsed to the ground.
"court death!!!"
The remaining three knights roared and launched their thermal spring knives. They closed in instantly, stabbing the pounds into a sieve with their blades.
The pound's health bar was rapidly decreasing, and it would soon be zero, but he laughed loudly before collapsing.
"Long live the Skywards!!!"
"My name, the British pound, will be recorded in Martian history—I will be a great figure for future Martian and Terran elementary school students to learn from!"
"I am the man who controls the course of the game's versions!!!"
"Even if I die and get the reward from this hidden quest, I'm still making a killing!!!"
Marcus had no idea what the pound was babbling about. He could vaguely hear things like Martian history, but then the other person's voice turned into white noise, like the clattering sound made by a cyber madman during a fit of madness.
The official announcement for the game Stellaris clearly states that players who utter words that are inappropriate for the game's style to NPCs will have some sensitive words automatically censored.
Psionic professional players are perceived by natives as having uncontrolled psionic powers, cyborg professional players are seen as having suffered from cybernetic psychosis, and ordinary players without professions are seen as complete lunatics.
Repeated violations of this behavior will result in system debuffs.
Previously, some players had shouted at NPCs in public, saying things like, "This is actually the world of the Black K Empire, you are all data, you are all NPCs."
Then, he was directly punished by the system and received a severe beating.
The system gave him about ten penalty debuffs, and this guy was later caught by the Martian Inquisition and dragged to the square to be executed as a cyber madman.
Interestingly, this player's debuffs actually included the term "cyber psychopath".
Therefore, the Inquisition was not wrong about this idiot.
Now, although Marcus and most people can't understand what the pound is saying, they can clearly hear the phrase "Long live the Sky Drive".
Martian Old Deng suddenly realized something, his prosthetic eye shrank sharply, and he shouted anxiously at the security knights around him:
"Quickly...quickly take him away, he has—"
Before he could finish speaking, the prosthetic device inside the pound was activated.
[Prosthetic Device: Heart Detonator (Self-Destruct Device)]
[Effect: Triggers a directional high-energy explosion 2 seconds after death.]
A red light shone from the heart of the pound sterling, and he shouted excitedly:
"Backup hidden power source—activate!"
next second.
boom--
The explosion occurred in the center of the bunker area, and the shockwave directly blew away the surrounding debris. The security knight was thrown away, and a huge gap was blown open in the bunker where Marcus was located, with heat waves sweeping outwards.
Marcus is completely finished.
The person who doesn't eat beef filmed this whole scene.
However, just as he regained his footing, the second shockwave from the exploding truck swept in again, causing his health to plummet to a dangerous level.
【HP: 5】
Without eating beef, the edges of his retina turned red, leaving him completely bewildered. The live stream also shook violently as his severe injury progressed.
The number of viewers in the live stream has now exceeded 100 million.
The viewers in the live chat were amazed by this series of incredible maneuvers.
[WTF, Big Fool Chun self-destructed! He was a suicide truck!!]
[So this is how the main storyline works in this version!!]
The world is about to descend into chaos!!
[By the way, did the pound get its outfit wrong? Shouldn't it be dressed all in white for something like this?]
[Don't die, streamer! I haven't seen enough yet!!]
[The Homestead route can be played like this? Why didn't you say so earlier, developers? I'm switching routes, I want to go to jail too!!]
[I apologize; I misunderstood the planner before. I retract my statement and allow the planner's horse to return to its starting position.]
[Wow, I can even see humanoid Creeper bombs in the game!]
Smoke and dust still lingered over the Tharsis Plateau, and all of this was witnessed simultaneously by more than a million live viewers.
It is believed that the relevant footage will soon circulate on game forums, becoming a hot topic in the Homeworld universe and attracting more players who enjoy hardcore and exciting gameplay to... go to jail.
True gamers never use wheelchairs; they play the game's worldline, experience the ultimate prison life, and enjoy the hardcore main storyline!
