#261 - Chapter 261 Money Ability
“The match begins!”
Bang!
The instant the light screen between the two disappeared, two explosions occurred simultaneously on the arena.
One was where Qi Jing had initially stood, and the other was at Gao Qi's mecha.
Actually, there was a slight interval between the two explosions.
Right when the countdown started, Gao Qi began charging a laser cannon at Qi Jing. As soon as the countdown ended, she fired a shot, causing the first explosion.
But it didn't hit Qi Jing. At the same time the light screen vanished, he used Golden Skyline to directly rush in front of [Ye Qi-Go] and slice it apart.
He thought it would be the same ending as the matches before, but Qi Jing didn't expect [Ye Qi-Go] to detonate itself when it was cut in two, forcing out his "Bullet Time."
Fortunately, he had the life-saving skill "Bullet Time," allowing him to evade most of the damage. Otherwise, his Corona Ring, which provided one death immunity per day, would have been triggered.
Standing at the edge of the two explosions, Qi Jing gasped for breath. Gao Qi was truly ruthless. To prevent being cut in half, she actually installed a self-destruct device in her mecha, and its power was so great that his entire back was scorched.
Fortunately, it didn't hurt too much.
“Why hasn't it ended yet? Such a big explosion, is she still alive?”
No sooner had Qi Jing spoken than a red laser beam shot out from the smoke behind him, heading straight for his head.
But the back of his head seemed to have eyes, and he dodged it with a simple sidestep.
Immediately afterward, hundreds of laser beams followed in quick succession, but without exception, he dodged them all.
Taking advantage of a gap in the attack, Qi Jing used Golden Skyline again, rushed into the smoke, and sliced Gao Qi in the cockpit in half.
As he moved at high speed, the smoke was blown away, revealing Gao Qi's astonished pupils.
“You, how did you guard against, my sneak attack?”
The truth is, being cut in half doesn't kill you instantly, and there's still plenty of time for a last will and testament.
Qi Jing didn't deliver the finishing blow, but instead sat on the mecha she had been remotely controlling and asked:
“Because the smoke can't block my eyes, didn't you know?”
He had been using Observation Haki the whole time. When the mecha self-destructed, he saw Gao Qi's cockpit fly out intact.
Then he deliberately said something to create an opening, luring her attack.
What kind of normal person talks to themselves while fighting~
“I didn’t know, you have so many skills.”
This Gao Qi really didn't know.
In Qi Jing's previous matches, he only demonstrated the ability to break stealth, and didn't show this ability to see people through obstacles.
“The match is over, are you going to surrender directly? Or should I blow your head off?”
“Can't you wait ten seconds for me to die naturally? Be a gentleman, okay? I really don't know what Xiao Tan sees in a straight man like you.”
Gao Qi grumbled and summoned the panel, clicking on surrender.
The feeling of waiting for natural death is still not good; being blown away should be better, because if your head is blown off, you won't be able to think, but that would be too unsightly.
“Match over.”
In the audience stands.
“Damn, such a powerful explosion couldn't kill you, what are you?”
To deal with someone like Qi Jing, Gao Qi specifically raised the cockpit by more than a meter and placed a super-powerful self-destruct device in the original position, but she didn't expect that even that couldn't kill Qi Jing.
“Of course I'm a person, what else could I be? Pay up!”
“I'll pay!”
Gao Qi resentfully transferred 100,000 points to Qi Jing.
Seeing more than a million points quietly lying in his account, Qi Jing felt his breathing become smoother.
Money still makes people feel good.
Seeing Qi Jing's satisfied expression, Gao Qi became angry and said fiercely to him:
“Again, you're not allowed to use that slash move! 200,000 points!”
Fearing that Qi Jing would disagree, Gao Qi directly doubled the price.
“Deal.”
Actually, even if she didn't add points, Qi Jing would have agreed. Even if he had to stand there and get bombarded, it would be fine.
One point of purchasing power is at least one or two thousand dollars! 20 million a match, who wouldn't fight is a fool.
At this moment, in Qi Jing's eyes, Gao Qi was like a God of Wealth wearing a red robe and a golden crown, throwing a big ingot at him every now and then, even more of a God of Wealth than Xi Quehan.
“Get on the stage, stop laughing!”
“Ahem, coming.”
Unsurprisingly, Qi Jing won the match again.
This time, he directly shattered her heart meridian with Lion's Roar.
As the most powerful and fierce sonic martial art, coupled with the Agent's cultivation to the ultimate level of proficiency, it is not a problem to roar a defenseless person to death at close range.
After the match, Gao Qi questioned Qi Jing:
“How do you have this kind of skill, you killed me through the mecha.”
Qi Jing spread his hands:
“Your mecha can be upgraded, of course I can learn new skills too.”
“Damn, again, I have to blow you up this time, that skill is not allowed!”
“Deal!”
Just like that, Tan Zuoyin watched them fight four or five matches from above, and finally lost one when Qi Jing's key skills were all banned.
Gao Qi put her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows, and laughed loudly:
“Hahahaha! Loser! It's finally my turn to win!”
“The power of money is indeed strong.”
Qi Jing transferred 500,000 points to Tan Zuoyin. Neither of them expected to earn so many points today.
“With so many points, what should we buy?”
Should we also buy a mecha?
Qi Jing thought about it, but decided against it.
The mecha's fighting style doesn't match him. He'll wait until he draws mecha proficiency and a more powerful mecha.
“Let's go take a look at what new equipment is in the research institute later and then make a decision.”
“Okay.”
Gao Qi finished laughing on the side and saved a screenshot of the settlement panel for this victory, and then said:
“Let's go, let's go see your Kirov Airship.”
“Go!”
After Qi Jing harvested another crop, the two of them successively exited the virtual world.
On the way, they asked Qi Jing about the virtual world.
“How many games have you played in there?”
“Not many, I have to play five or six every day.”
“What about the arena?”
“I fight every day, and the results are not bad.”
Qi Jing spends almost all of his free time in the virtual world, fighting in the arena or playing games.
He once achieved a 50-game winning streak in the first-year arena, a 34-game winning streak in the second-year arena, and a 28-game winning streak in the entire academy's arena.
It must be said that there are some incredible abilities among the senior students that made him lose inexplicably. There should be some in the lower grades as well, but he hasn't encountered them yet.
As for games, he has completed all the single-player one-time levels, but there are still many development-type games that need to be played every day.
From time to time, he also pulls Tan Zuoyin to play some team and casual mini-games.
Unfortunately, the speed at which those games are developed cannot keep up with the speed at which he plays them. I don't know when the virtual world will be popularized to the public, allowing more games to enter the platform.
