Volume 7 Chapter 1
Chapter 1: Supreme Battleship translated by dahlys
Guis heart
Without thinking, I immediately leapt toward Gui, but the hateful system was faster than I was. Gui faded into spots of white light before my very eyes, the wide smile on his face showing that he had died without regret As for me, my whole body slammed heavily into the ground. I felt a powerful urge to cry
Gui disappeared, Gui disappeared, Gui disappeared!Slowly, panic began to spread from the bottom of my heart.Has Gui really disappeared? He wont appear again? Then, the Gui who is always grinning cheekily, always letting me beat him and scold him, and always standing behind my back supporting me silently, is gone?
Prince, why are you in a daze? Flowing Wind is still here, Lolidragon shouted in exasperation.
With tears welling up in my eyes, I hugged Lolidragon and said, Lolidragon, Gui has disappeared. What should I do?
Lolidragon, who was in my arms, suddenly stiffened. She grabbed my head with both arms and with a crack sound, turned my head to face Flowing Wind Ouch, I seemed to have lost a few hundred HP
Lolidragon said syllable-by-syllable, I said, Flowing Wind is still here. Do you not understand me?
I understand. I will avenge Gui. I looked at Flowing Wind with bloodshot eyes, He made Gui disappear, so I will avenge Gui, even if it costs me my life!
I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head and found myself lying face flat on the ground. Before I could figure out what was going on, I heard Lolidragon start to scold me vehemently. You bastard! Did my words fall on deaf ears? I recently explained that HD is set up so that an NPC will disappear right after killing a player. Flowing Wind is still standing there, unharmed, yet you keep complaining about Gui disappearing! You didnt listen to what I said at all! Talking to you is a waste of my breath and less constructive than playing a piano to a cow.
I raised my head, eyes lighting up with joy.So Gui hasnt disappeared? This wont do, I must confirm it.I immediately opened the PM channel and asked hastily, Gui, Gui, Gui! Are you there?
Im here! Prince, you should be wary of Flowing Wind. I am calling everybody to help out now. Gui replied anxiously.
I felt utterly relieved when I heard him speak.Great, Gui is still alive!
Prince! Are you even listening to me? Flowing Wind is still here! Are you planning to stay lying there on the ground and making it easier for him to kill you? Lolidragons voice sounded like it was on the edge of hysteria, so I quickly jumped to my feet, drew Black Dao, and monitored Flowing Winds movements.
Relax, the Dictator forbade us from killing you. Flowing Wind said coldly, If not, you would have already died a thousand times over.
Why did the Dictator forbid you guys from killing me? Suddenly, I was very curious. Clay Child had also mentioned earlier that he would not kill me. Now that Flowing Wind was saying the same thing, I had a strange thought.Does the Dictator of Lifenot want to kill me?Also, I must be the only exception, as Flowing Wind murdered Gui without hesitation, but did not kill me, the person responsible for his anger.
I dont know, but the Dictators orders are absolute, Flowing Wind replied icily.
I tilted my head to one side and thought,Err, the Dictator of Life forbade Flowing Wind from killing me, and Flowing Wind said that he cannot defy the Dictators orders, so this means that Flowing Wind will not kill me no matter what I do!I grinned evilly.Then, what am I hesitating for?
Your life is mine! I drew Black Dao and charged toward Flowing Wind without a second thought. I immediately began slashing at him with the intent of teaching him a harsh lesson.
However, Flowing Wind dodged all of my attacks calmly and easily. He raised one brow questioningly and said, You want to kill me?
What else could I be doing with a sword? Helping you to relieve an itch? I shouted, but the Black Dao in my hands never stopped attacking. I slashed vertically and sliced horizontally, but not a single hit landed on Flowing Winds graceful body.
Humans are really the epitome of conceit, said Flowing Wind as he waved his hand with disdain.
On hearing this, I was so angry I nearly pulled out my blade and slashed at himUgh, I think Im already slashing at him. But Flowing Wind was right. Alone, I couldnt even scratch him. Suddenly, a thought occurred to me.If I couldnt even touch Flowing Wind, then what about the Dictator of Life?
I shook my head forcefully.I still have my companions! If everyone works together, we can definitely defeat the Dictator of Life!
Prince!
I heard Guis voice behind me, along with the footsteps of many people. Without turning back to look, I already knew that Gui had rounded up some people to help me.
Flowing Winds expression darkened as he said, I almost forgot. Humans are also the perfect example of tyranny by majority.
A little annoyed, I said, Hey, remember that you are a BOSS. The mechanics of the game make it impossible for a player to solo a BOSS. This has nothing to do with being human or NPC!
Ah ah, starting to look for excuses already. Flowing Wind made an expression that said I knew this would happen.
This person not only deserved a beating more than my brother and Lolidragon combined, he was as stubborn as Celestial. This made him extremely hard to handle.Sigh, is the Dictator of Life letting all of his subordinates do whatever they want? First, Celestial refused to leave. Now, theres Flowing Wind. Is he treating my Infinite City as a nursery?
Prince, lets defeat him together. Raging flames burned in Guis eyes.
Before I could even open my mouth to reply, Flowing Wind said, Never mind me, you people are so weak you cant even kill Celestial. Dont worry though, I dont plan to kill you. I came here to take care of the traitor, Celestial.
You want to kill Celestial? A little confused, I asked, Didnt the Dictator of Life forbid you guys from killing each other?
He did forbid us from killing each other. Flowing Wind smiled evilly and said, But since Celestial betrayed us, he can no longer be considered one of us anymore.
That was simply illogical. Both Gui and I made a strange expression.
Flowing Winds face suddenly changed and he became more menacing. He growled threateningly and said coldly, Where is Celestial? If you refuse to tell me, I will shower Infinite City with blood.
When he finished speaking, the castle began to shake violently. Fierce winds howled, shattering all the windows around me. The wind was so strong I actually felt that I had to use all of my strength just to stand firmly.
Smack!Shocked, I looked behind me only to see Gui and many other citizens of Infinite City glued to the wall, desperately using their hands to block the wind that could be said to be as sharp as a blade.
Hes gone too far!I roared angrily, I dont know! Even if I knew, I would never tell you.
What cant you tell Flowing Wind?
I snorted coldly and said, Celestials whereabouts, of courseEh? This voice sounds likeI turned my head and my jaw nearly dropped. Celestial was standing at the door, frowning. He waved his hand and ribbons of Celestial Satin appeared in midair, blocking the wind in place of the shattered windows. Finally, the interior of the buildings returned to their windless state.
The moment Flowing Wind saw Celestial, he immediately roared angrily, Traitor! You finally appeared. Watch me erase your existence on behalf of the Dictator
Ah, Flowing Wind. Long time no see. Celestial walked towards Flowing Wind amicably, as if he had just met a good friend he hadnt seen in many years.
Flowing Wind tripped and nearly fell to the ground. He quickly steadied himself and laughed icily, Raging Cyclone!
The warning bells in my heart sounded, and I immediately dove toward the unprepared Celestial. As I pushed Celestial over, pillars of wind that were shaped like spiral drills bore a large hole at the place where Celestial had been standing, causing several explosions.
After I turned around and saw the large hole that let me look down from the third floor to the basement, I flew into a rage and shouted, Youve gone too far! Celestial is still one of you. Are you trying to kill him?More importantly, how much will it cost to repair such a large hole? Yu Lian-dso will definitely not forgive me!
Youre right, Flowing Winds face was clouded in shadow as he, who had not moved much previously, suddenly began to make a series of weird gestures. Surely, this was not going to be a normal attack!
Quick! Everyone leave this place, now! I hollered angrily. Everybody ran as fast as they could toward the doorway. Only Gui looked at me hesitantly, but after I gave him a flying kick, he too flew out the door. Under my intimidating gaze, he finally started to run for his life. As for Lolidragon I didnt need to worry about her, since she was the first one to escape.
I looked toward Flowing Wind in time to see the strange sign he had formed and held with his hands. I also saw the smile of satisfaction on his faceOh no!With Celestial carried over my shoulder, I headed for one of the broken windows and leapt outside. Although it was the third floor, I was very sure that Flowing Winds attack was much scarier than jumping off a building.
While I was still in midair, I heard the horrifying sounds of an explosion accompanied by rocks flying everywhere from behind me. The games gravity also unkindly started to make me fall downwards.Oh great, maybe the rocks will conveniently bury me at the same time I fall to my death, sothata grave doesnt even need to be dug for meHelpless to do anything, I mocked myself.
However, I seem to have stopped falling in midair?Curious, I lifted my head only to meet Celestials gaze, which was unusually calm and mature.Was this really Celestial?I felt the beginnings of suspicion. Suddenly, Celestial winked at me playfully and turned back into that confused Celestial whose mental age was comparable to a five year olds.
Celestials body slowly floated upwards, followed closely by my body.Hey, the feeling of floating in midairisntso bad Oh my god.My eyes widened when I saw the castle.My Infinite Castle why is there only half of it left?!
My face paled as I looked at the castle. Half of the Infinite Castle that everyone had put so much effort into building had become a pile of rubble. The design that Gui had taken great pains to come up with; Yu Lian-dsos desperate fundraising; everyone becoming unpaid construction workers; everybody feeling moved when the construction of the castle was finally completed Everything was ruined!
I felt suddenly tranquil, and became so calm that there was not a single expression on my face. Perhaps this was because there was no expression that could express my current anger!
Flowing Wind, the Dictator will be angry with you. Celestial frowned at Flowing Wind.
Flowing Wind bellowed angrily, I dont care, Ive been displeased with you for a long time already. A traitor like you has no right to be one of our comrades. Your punishment from the Dictator is long overdue.
The Dictator forbade us from killing each other, and also, we are not allowed to prevent Prince from going to the Northern Continent. You cannot disobey the Dictators orders, Celestial shouted.
I froze for a long moment.The Dictator forbade the Four Heavenly Kings from preventing me from going to the Northern Continent? But he dispatched so many NPCs with HD installed to threaten us into not going to the Northern Continent! What exactly is going on?
I dont care, I am going to destroy this damned place, exterminate you, and kill Prince! Flowing Winds eyes radiated cruelty as he started making weird gestures again.
Celestial! Hurry up and stop him. I yelled, panicking. The destruction of the castle was causing me enough heartache. If Infinite City also vanished, how was I supposed to face everyone?
Celestial had already begun chanting a strange incantation, but suddenly, he stopped and looked blankly at the sky. I was so anxious, I grabbed Celestials shoulders and shook him vigorously.
Dictator? Celestial spat out in disbelief.
A look of slight alarm appeared on Flowing Winds face. Flustered, he followed Celestials gaze. What he saw made him sound like he was terrified to the extreme. He said, How can this be? The Dictator cannot leave the Northern Continent.
At this point, I also noticed that there was one extra person in the air. His blood red hair fluttered in the wind and his handsome face had an exotic magic tattoo. With the exception of the look in his eyes, which were not as filled with sorrow from a predetermined fate, he looked exactly the same as the photo Lolidragon had shown me.
Flowing Wind, you disobeyed the Dictators orders, The Dictator of Life said.
Err, why does this statement sound so awkward Ah, right, who refers to himself in the third person? Whats going on?I was extremely confused.
Suspicious, Flowing Wind asked, Who are you? Youare not the Dictator.
I am the Dictators clone. The Dictator of Lifeno, his clone explained, The Dictator can find out the happenings of Second Life through me.
Go back, Flowing Wind. The Dictator is very angry, the Dictator of Lifes clone said expressionlessly.
The Dictator is very angry? Flowing Wind made a flustered expression and said, Okay, okay, you tell the Dictator that Ill go back immediately.
Before he left, Flowing Wind threw Celestial a vicious glare, but Celestial smiled innocently and even waved to Flowing Wind in farewell. Flowing Wind was so pissed he nearly leapt toward Celestial, but in the end he simply glanced at the Dictator of Lifes clone and flew off in embarrassment.
You are the Dictator of Lifes clone, right? I coldly obstructed the Dictator of Lifes clone, who was about to leave. He stopped and looked at me expressionlessly, while I glared at him icily. I slowly raised my hand and curled up four of my fingers, leaving the index finger pointing straight out. I pointed at the wrecked Infinite Castle and said with absolute seriousness, Pay up!
Agitated, I clenched my fists and yelled furiously, What? Are you trying to avoid your debt? Do you know just how much money was spent building Infinite Castle? I wasnt kidding; if I didnt collect the rebuilding funds, who knew if I could even reach the Northern Continent? I might be cut into pieces by the Finance Department and the Construction Department while still on the Central Continent.
After maaany seconds, the Dictator of Lifes clone was still motionless and there was no expression on his face at all. I couldnt help but frown.Its not possible that this Dictator of Life, the god of Second Lifesclone wants to evade the debt?
The Dictator of Lifes clone remained silent, but he slowly raised his right hand and pointed toward the half-wrecked Infinite Castle. He muttered some incantations, and a miracle suddenly happened!
The rock debris actually moved! Dumbfounded, I watched as the rocks stuck together to automatically form a wall. The walls then tumbled around and joined to each other, forming rooms. Astonishingly, the wood chips also reformed themselves into chairs and tables before jumping into the rooms and arranging themselves.
Without much effort, Infinite Castle was restored to its former self, without even a hint of damage. I couldnt help swallowing my saliva while imagining, What a convenient ability. If I had this ability, I would never again have to worry about Yu Lian-dso swallowing me alive if I break something.
Is this acceptable? If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave, the Dictator of Lifes clone said monotonously.
I immediately came back to my senses and hollered, Wait a minute!
Is there something else? The Dictator of Lifes clone was still annoyingly expressionless.
Curious, I asked, You say the Dictator of Life can find out everything thats going on through you?
My eyes are the Dictator of Lifes eyes.
Okay, look at me now. Remember to keep looking at me, and dont turn your head away. I adjusted my position and made sure I was right in front of the Dictator of Lifes clone. I pointed at the Dictator of Lifes clone haughtily and shouted arrogantly, Dictator of Life, you just wait and see! I, the Blood Elf Prince, will definitely go to the Northern Continent and finish you off. So, you better clean your neck obediently and wait for me, got it?
Got it, the Dictator of Lifes clone suddenly said softly, and the expression that flashed across his face for a moment Was it gentleness?
Before I could respond, the Dictator of Lifes clone had already turned and flown away. As I watched him I resented myself for being unable to fly Wait, if the Dictator of Life flies like this when I go to kill him, how can I fly after him to chop him? I probably couldnt ask Celestial to carry me into the air, could I?
Even if Meatbun had a bamboo helicopterand could lift me into the air, I would have to cling to Meatbun with one hand. Could I kill the Dictator of Life with just one hand? Im not Yang Guo from Return of the Condor Heroes, who became stronger after losing one arm!
Prince, are you okay? Gui asked, worried. He added, We were crushed underneath the rocks, so we couldnt help you. You arent hurt, are you?
I tilted my head and answered irrelevantly, Gui, is there a way for players to fly?
Fly? Gui asked uncertainly. After that, his body shook violently for a moment and he said seriously, Youre right, Prince. If we cant fly, it would be impossible to defeat the Dictator of Life, who can. I must discuss this issue with Lolidragon.
Hmm, if I could fly I snorted coldly twice and said, Wed see if that damned Fire Phoenix would still dare to abduct my Meatbun for a flight.
I cant believe that the Dictator of Life actually created a clone that looks exactly like himself. Lolidragon suddenly cut in and said, This is troublesome. I guess its no longer possible to go to the Northern Continent secretly. Especially since a certain idiot just announced to the Dictator of Life that he was going to kill him.
For a moment, I felt guilty, but then I remembered Gui saying that the Dictator of Life was omnipotent. In that case, shouldnt he have found out that we were going to the Northern Continent a long time ago? Just as I was about to rebut Lolidragons stupid reasoning confidently, she started speaking before I could.
Giggling, Lolidragon said, Prince, although there is still some time before we have to leave, do you want to see our means of transportation?
My interest completely roused, I replied, What are we using for transport?
Lolidragon smiled mysteriously and left a statement, Come with me.
With enough curiosity to kill many cats, I followed her. Of course my attendant, Gui, tagged along. Lolidragons other attendant, my little brother Feng Wu Qing, also picked up his pace and went with us.
We walked quickly, and before we knew it we had reached the edge of the lake outside the city. Although lake sounds like the kind of small pool where, for no reason, a beautiful lady was bathing and was then accidentally peeped on by the male main character, this place was different. This lake that is found north of Infinite City is really, reallybig!
I strained my eyes, but even so I could barely see the opposite shore, which was shrouded in mist. Also, I had to rotate my neck about two hundred and seventy degrees in order to see the left and right edges of the lake. All that being said, the most important thing was, I didnt see anything besides a lot of water! Was our group going to swim to the Northern Continent?Then should I buy a bikini- er, swimming trunks?
No, the really important thing was, if it were that easy to swim across the sea, who would want to pay that ridiculously expensive boat fee? Anyone who thought about it would know that it was impossible to swim there, unless Second Life had a mermaid race. Even if there was a mermaid race, would I have to be reborn and start from scratch as a mermaid?
I looked at the smooth surface of the lake, then looked at Gui and Wu Qing. Both of them also had curious expressions, so all three of us looked at Lolidragon the only person who knew what was going on.Just what kind of trick is she trying to pull?
Lolidragon smiled her annoying hee hee hee smile, turned to face the lake and shouted, Supreme tri-functional sea, land, and air battleship Activate, Challenger!
What? Challenger, the supreme tri-functional sea, land, and air battleship?But after thinking about it for some time, I asked, Where have I heard the name Challenger before?
Gui replied weakly, That was the name of the space shuttle that exploded on its maiden flight before it even left the Earths atmosphere.
What an extremely unlucky name! Its as unlucky as naming a ship Titanic.I sighed and was just about to discuss Lolidragons naming ability with her when the surface of the lake, which was originally as smooth as the surface of egg yolk, became covered in many ripples. A gigantic object then rose out of the lake, nearly burying me beneath the huge splash it created.
I stared incredulously at that gargantuan battleship that I thought I would only ever see in the pictures they showed us during military class. At the same time, I gulped and listened to Lolidragons triumphant explanation. She said, The Challenger is five hundred meters long and two hundred meters wide; it can carry more than two thousand people. It has three forms: a submarine, a mobile land citadel, and a flying battleship. In terms of combat ability, the Challenger has one hundred laser cannons, three hundred machine guns, and one Super Nuclear Cannon of Utter Annihilation. It will definitely be very useful when we attack the Northern Continent.
Amazing! I exclaimed.This way, wewontneed to worry about being KOd by NPCs before we evenreachthe Northern Continent.
Just as Lolidragon was laughing evilly with the battleship as a backdrop, I suddenly noticed some strange large tentacles stretch out of the surface of the lake and wrap tightly around Challenger. Then, a massive octopus head appeared. My eyes widened as I witnessed the Challenger make a few snapping noises after being completely wrapped by the giant octopus and, like the so-called unsinkable Titanic that sank on its first cruise, the battleship broke into two pieces and slowly began to sink
No,I sulked.At least the Titanic managed to set sail. Our Challenger has never even seen the ocean before
Lolidragon, the ship has sunk. Feng Wu Qing pointed at the lake, hand trembling.
Lolidragon laughed derisively, Thats not possible! The Challenger is a masterpiece made with utmost care
Probably because even Guis face didnt look so good, Lolidragon turned around skeptically just in time to see the only remaining nuclear cannon above the lakes surface. After one mighty pull by the giant octopus, the Challenger finally eloped with it, never to return
I looked at Lolidragons petrified figure and slowly said, I think we should take the flying carpet. Later, we will choose the members of the team. If we squeeze, eight people should be able to fit on the carpet.
The six members of Odd Squad plus Sunshine and Kenshin already make up a total of eight people. As for the rest I frowned and looked at my little brother.Will Wu Qing give up going to the Northern Continent?I asked, Wu Qing, do you want to go to the Northern Continent?
Feng Wu Qing looked at me, opened his mouth, and was about to say something when all of a sudden, he froze with his eyes popping out of their sockets. Once again, he raised a trembling hand, pointed behind me and howled, What a big clam
Clam?I was stunned for a moment. I looked behind me and indeed saw a large clam appear in front of my eyes. I secretly guessed,Could this clam be the one I was acquainted with?
Gui, who was standing beside me, calmly sized-up this large clam. Using my one hundred percent accurate sixth sense to make a guess, Guis mind must be filled with the specialized knowledge of various creatures, earth science and so on that would allow him to investigate the evolution of this clam and figure out which kingdom, class, order and speciesthis clam belonged to.
Ah, Meatbunbuns master, Ive finally found you. AnRui suddenly opened the two halves of his clam shell to reveal white, tender, and extremely delicious-looking clam meat. Of course, there were two large eyes growing on the meat.
Gui and Wu Qing froze when they heard the clam talk. However, I was not at all shocked. Instead, I raised my right hand, waved, and said, Long time no see, AnRui.
I quickly fished Meatbun out of my bag so that he could reminisce on old times with AnRui.
AnRuiRui! The moment he saw AnRui, Meatbun, who had just come out of the bag, hopped excitedly to AnRuis side. He even leapt between the two halves of the clam shell and used AnRuis meat as a trampoline.
My little brother beside me was howling in despair, The clam actually talked. The clam actually
Gui also frowned and mumbled to himself, Since when did clams have vocal chords?
Ignoring the two who were close to having a nervous breakdown, I went ahead and asked AnRui, AnRui, why did you suddenly come out? Didnt you say that you didnt want to come out?
AnRui sighed softly, Someone entrusted me with a task, so I had to come out.
Someone entrusted you with a task? I didnt quite understand what he meant, so I asked, Who? What did he ask you to do?
I cannot say that persons name, but he asked me to take all of you to the Northern Continent.
I was stunned.AnRui was going to take us to the Northern Continent? How? Would we have to sit inside AnRui? Although AnRui was rather big, that was in comparison to a normal clam. In reality, this clam was only a bit taller than a person. After considering its own meat, there was barely enough space left for me to squeeze in. How could it carry us to the Northern Continent?
AnRui? Lolidragon, who had been petrified for a long time, suddenly shrieked, Are you the sacred beast, AnRui?
Before I could reply, Lolidragon had already rushed in front of AnRui and asked, Youre really willing to take us there?
AnRuis clam shell wobbled.That was probably a nod of its head,I thought.
Thats fantastic! Lolidragon exclaimed excitedly, We have the strongest battleship!
Lolidragon, even if the Challenger has been destroyed, you shouldnt get so depressed. I shook my head and said, Isnt asking a clam to become a battleship going too far?
Lolidragon turned to face me, her face expressionless. With lightning speed, she pulled out a dagger and placed it against a certain fatal spot of mine. No, accurately speaking, it wouldnt be fatal. Itd just hurt so much Id wish I were dead.
I looked down at the spot that I didnt really need, but also didnt want to lose. My expression immediately changed and I said extremely seriously, I believe that Lolidragon must have a profound reason for calling a clam a battleship. After some careful deliberation, I have realized that this is indeed a good idea. After all, nobody not even an NPC, will think that assassins are hiding inside a clam!
Lolidragon pursed her lips and finally withdrew her weapon. She then looked at AnRui like he was a Chanel bag and said, Its not a normal clam! Its the bi-functional land and sea Supreme Clam Combat Submarine AnRui!
I understand if its the sea, but I have to ask you a question. Feng Wu Qing still hadnt defrosted. He asked, Have you ever seen a clam running on land?
Lolidragon did not answer his question, and I also swallowed my own reply as we watched an enormous shadow swoop down on my brother. Wu Qing, who was suddenly eclipsed by an ominous shadow, had only just widened his eyes slightly when the owner of the shadow landed on top of him, bellowing angrily, Are you discriminating against clams?
Fresh blood stained the ground, accompanied by the sorrowful howl of a martyr. I looked away reluctantly and said, Rest in peace, Wu Qing. I will definitely cook more clams for you as offerings.
After bidding him farewell, I turned to face Lolidragon and said, Stop keeping us in suspense and tell us how AnRui is supposed to take us to the Northern Continent.
Lolidragon waved to AnRui and it finally left that unrecognizable heap of flesh and blood that was my brother. After retreating back into the lake, AnRui closed the two halves of its clam shell and slowly started to grow larger. There was a stupefied expression on my face as I watched AnRui grow so large it occupied one third of the lake. The current AnRui could fit not only me inside, but could easily carry a few hundred people.
I was beginning to understand how AnRui could take us to the Northern Continent. However, I never imagined that there would come a day when I was swallowed by a clam No, not swallowed, but put inside its stomach.
I can only hope that AnRui doesnt reek of seafood
