Chapter 339: Triangular Invasion, wishing you safety~~
Firefly Earth Shelter.
-- [Apologies, target is under ceasefire status. Ceasefire Token expires in 31 seconds.]
Firefly Earth looked at the prompt on the virtual light screen, tightened his grip on the [War Token] in his hand, and waited as the half-minute countdown slowly ended.
Just as the countdown hit zero.
Firefly Earth decisively activated the [War Token] in his hand.
[Launching invasion war, target -- Yu Yuan Shelter.]
The [War Token] emitted a dazzling light.
The next second, a prompt message already appeared on the virtual light screen.
[Player ID: Firefly Earth Shelter has used a 'War Token' against Player ID: Yu Yuan Shelter. Invasion war begins in one hour. Please prepare for war.]
[During wartime, social and trade functions are temporarily disabled. Functions will be restored after the war ends.]The corner of Firefly Earth's mouth lifted slightly.
"Haha, done! There's still an hour of preparation time. Let's get started!"
Having successfully snatched the invasion qualification, Firefly Earth was overjoyed and immediately began organizing his gear.
He didn't plan to fight this time, so Firefly Earth decided to travel light, only taking necessary food, weapons, and equipment to increase mobility.
However, he heard the temperature over there was a bit cold, around eight or nine degrees Celsius, so he still needed to wear some warm clothes.
Firefly Earth thought for a moment, deciding a lightweight wool sweater plus a lightweight leather jacket should be sufficient, and adding a bulletproof vest would be more than enough.
With everything ready, following a few rhythmic whistles.
The entire shelter filled with the dense, buzzing sound of fluttering wings. Firefly Earth took out a gourd, opened the lid.
Dense swarms of fireflies began flying into the gourd in an orderly fashion.
This gourd was Firefly Earth's most treasured item, a rare artifact that had made it onto the Rare Item Leaderboard, although its ranking was a mere 4987.
But inside the gourd was a thirty cubic meter space. Most importantly, it could store living creatures, which was simply perfect for Firefly Earth.
As the last firefly disappeared into the gourd, Firefly Earth re-capped the gourd.
With that, everything was ready.
But right at that moment, the virtual light screen suddenly lit up. It was actually that Blood Clan big shot.
[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: Did you get it?]
Firefly Earth wasn't bothered.
He just thought the employer was concerned about the progress and immediately replied:
[Firefly Earth Shelter: I'm not bragging, but you can rest assured with me handling this. We've successfully entered the war preparation phase. I will absolutely get all the intel you need, clear as day.]
[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: Already in the war preparation phase? The situation has changed. Can you find the location of Yu Yuan Shelter and destroy it?]
Firefly Earth frowned slightly. This wasn't what was agreed upon before!
He understood something must have happened that he didn't know about, and he also realized this might be an opportunity to seek greater profit.
His eyes just rolled once, and the corner of his mouth curled up.
[Firefly Earth Shelter: What happened? This is a bit difficult! Scouting the shelter location is one thing, although I don't know what you mean by him being able to hide his shelter coordinates, but finding his shelter is simple for me.
But if it involves combat... that's tough! After all, Yu Yuan Shelter's strength is right there. In less than two months, he went from just entering the game to breaking into the top 200 rankings. His strength and potential are absolutely not ordinary, not to mention he has a powerful backer in the higher tiers.
You want me to destroy his shelter? The risk is a bit too great, and I might face retaliation from that high-tier player afterwards...]
[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: Yu Yuan is not in his world. You don't need to worry about his threat. As long as you destroy his shelter, I'll give you another rare artifact.]
[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: We'll sign an employment contract. Once you destroy Yu Yuan's shelter, the rare artifact is yours.]
Firefly Earth's eyes lit up.
[Firefly Earth Shelter: Deal!]
The two quickly opened the auction house and signed the contract under its notarization. Looking at the contract in black and white.
Firefly Earth smiled with satisfaction.
This rare artifact was worth earning!
Since Yu Yuan wasn't in his world, he must have gone to invade another player. He wouldn't return for at least 7 days. The biggest threat was already gone. Destroying a shelter, in Firefly Earth's view, was practically a freebie.
An hour passed quickly. Firefly Earth had readjusted his equipment.
He carried a lot of high-powered explosives and weapons.
As soon as he found Yu Yuan's shelter location, Firefly Earth planned to blow it up directly.
Simple, fast, and clear.
Just as the final two seconds of the countdown ticked away, Firefly Earth sent one last message to Xiao Xi.
[Firefly Earth Shelter: I will complete this invasion war at the fastest speed possible... watch me!]
The next moment, he disappeared from the shelter.
————————————
His vision went dark for a moment, and Yu Yuan found himself in an incredibly pitch-black underground world.
The tip of his nose could still smell the faint dampness and stuffy odor in the air. Clearly, Jiu Feng and the others' speculation was correct. Moss Cottage Shelter's location was indeed in the underground world.
[You have entered the 'Underground Mine' region.]
['Yu Yuan Shelter' VS 'Moss Cottage Shelter', Player Invasion War officially begins!]
Two prompt messages appeared on the virtual light screen.
Signaling the start of the invasion war.
But just as Yu Yuan was about to check the location prompt for Moss Cottage Shelter, two more prompts appeared.
A brief look of astonishment crossed Yu Yuan's face.
[Player ID: Firefly Earth Shelter has used a 'War Token' and will launch an invasion war against you in one hour. Please prepare for battle.]
"Huh? Interesting!"
Yu Yuan hadn't expected that while he was launching an invasion war, another player could still invade him.
That meant the essence of invasion wars was determined by the player's world.
The anchor point for player invasion was the player's world and shelter, not the player themselves.
Yu Yuan seemed to understand a bit. So it could be played like this.
His understanding of invasion rules was still too shallow.
"Damn, can Moss Cottage invade other players right now?" Yu Yuan frowned slightly.
If Moss Cottage ran away halfway through the fight, that would be a huge problem.
But his brow quickly smoothed out.
"Probably not! I've already entered Moss Cottage's world. We're in a state of war. Even I, the invader, can't leave without defeating him until seven days later. Clearly, this world is already in a locked state. The owner of this world shouldn't be able to leave either.
Unless he launched a [War Token] before I invaded, but I had an appointment. He absolutely couldn't have been faster than me."
"As for that Firefly Earth, the reason he can launch an invasion war against me is because my world isn't locked. So he can still invade.
Actually, Firefly Earth's behavior is similar to stealing the base."
After figuring this out, Yu Yuan's tense mood relaxed slightly.
"Scared me for a second. But these are just my guesses. So to be safe, I'd better find Moss Cottage quickly and take him out!"
"Otherwise, the longer the night, the more dreams you have!"
As for Firefly Earth Shelter...
Thinking about the extreme cold disaster currently in Green Forest City, Yu Yuan smiled, softly singing in his heart:
"Wishing you peace... oh~~~ wishing you peace..."
