Chapter 24 Global Combat Power Ranking
Chapter 24 Global Combat Power Ranking
A male dormitory at Yenching University, Communication University of China.
"Holy crap, Yangzi, that's awesome!"
"Yes, yes! That's David Walker!"
"My relationship with my brother is absolutely explosive."
"Yang-ge, let's take a picture together? I'll be your fan from now on."
"By the way, Yangzi, you should start streaming too!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the hype is absolutely off the charts, and it'll lead to instant financial freedom."
The not-so-spacious dormitory was crammed with at least thirty people. What was even more terrifying was that there were also a dense crowd of students in the hallway outside, just like a scene from a fan meeting.
The atmosphere at the scene was exceptionally lively, with some people praising, some asking for photos, and some offering suggestions.
"Aren't you afraid something will happen if you don't stay in the game?"
Xu Jiayang had just logged out of the game and experienced the training ground and laboratory. He was still a little dazed. Looking at so many people, he felt a bit overwhelmed and forced a smile as he asked.
Then he received almost the same answer.
"Hey, nothing's wrong."
"So incredibly boring, I wonder when the Zerg will attack!"
"The mobilization department said they'd organize training tonight, and everyone's outside watching the live stream now."
"I envy Yang Ge, he got directly to Nellis Air Force Base."
"Yeah, it would be incredibly awesome!"
Faced with his classmates' envy, he waved his hand helplessly and said:
"Hey, what's there to be envious of?"
"I'm already dead, who knows when I'll be back in the game?"
"In a few days, I'll be the one envying you guys."
"You guys play the game, I'll watch the live stream from outside, hahaha~"
"Oh dear, I'm a little hungry. I'll have some instant noodles first."
As Xu Jiayang was talking, he was about to prepare instant noodles, but before he could even start, a very generous serving of instant noodles was already placed in front of him.
"Brothers, let me eat a bite first and take a break."
"If anyone has any questions, I will answer them to the best of my ability later."
Everyone accepted this explanation, and the students were all eager to watch the live stream. The experience on a mobile phone was definitely not as good as on a computer, so the crowd dispersed, leaving only a few close friends.
Xu Jiayang felt extremely hungry.
He ate his noodles while looking down at the system panel.
[Physical Fitness: 75]
【Intelligence: 132】
[Inspiration: 175]
Overall rating: 12
[Contribution Value: 10000]
[Computing power: 10000]
[Achievement: Heaven on the Left, Warrior on the Right]
"I wonder where my three-dimensional attributes and overall score stand in the world?"
"And the reward of contribution points and computing power should be quite substantial, right?"
"I don't know how much the regular reward is."
"Perhaps I could create a website where people can upload their 3D attributes?"
"How about creating a global combat power ranking or something?"
"Sure, this is an opportunity. What if it becomes commercially viable and makes money?"
"But the problem is, how do we get everyone to upload data honestly?"
Xu Jiayang was completely baffled, so he temporarily shifted his attention to the lower part of the system panel.
"This final achievement..."
Xu Jiayang frowned as he looked at the text on the system panel.
"Let's leave aside those human experiments for now."
"The hand-drawn illustration on the whiteboard must be a Zerg parasite."
"Moreover, the details are very obvious, and combined with the location seen, it is highly unlikely that it was just a guess."
"This means that six years from now, there will definitely be a segment of the American population who know about the Zerg."
"This also solves part of the mystery surrounding the Zerg outbreak."
"Following this logic, the achievement's name should be a title about solving a puzzle, but the title here seems to simply praise courage."
"It feels like the product didn't match the description."
He slurped up a few mouthfuls of noodles, his mind racing, before finally making a deduction.
"Two possibilities."
"First, solving the mystery itself is not an achievement, but instead of retreating, one wants to explore the secret. This behavior is judged as brave by the camera."
"Therefore, the achievement 'Heaven on the Left, Warrior on the Right' was given."
"Secondly, although we saw the hand-drawn illustration, we still didn't see how the Zerg appeared."
"The puzzle wasn't truly solved, so there's no corresponding achievement."
"And the probability of this is very high."
"Looks like I'll have to infiltrate again next time to continue searching for clues."
Thinking of this, he turned his head and asked:
"Brothers."
"What about the human experimentation and the golden ball?"
Are there any expert analyses online?
The internet today has all sorts of amazing people, and you can find answers to many high-tech questions.
Upon hearing Xu Jiayang's voice, a classmate standing nearby watching the live stream said:
"Yes, there is a master."
"The human experiments may involve brain-computer interfaces."
"The golden ball could be a quantum computer."
Xu Jiayang suddenly realized what was going on, and at the same time, he thought of the hand-drawn illustration of the parasite.
Based on currently available information, parasites are extremely powerful and can perfectly read and control the human brain.
This performance, to some extent, is a form of brain-computer interface.
"Could it be bionic technology again?"
He muttered to himself, while looking at the computer in front of him. The two open windows were two live streaming rooms.
The live stream on the left is still running, but the content is rather boring.
But the live stream on the right was different. The American troops were beginning to collapse, and according to the commanders' conversations, the nuclear missiles had been launched and would be landing in a few minutes.
Just then.
Suddenly the scene jumps up to a thousand meters, then pans and falls.
"Huh? How did we end up back at base?"
"Are you trying to whitewash this by not showing us nuclear weapons?"
Xu Jiayang's roommate exclaimed in surprise, as if he had guessed something.
Sure enough, the camera panned down the next second, and he saw a military base that was completely different from the one at the previous airshow.
There was a lot of blood on the ground, but all the corpses had disappeared, whether they were NPCs, players, or Zerg. They weren't just respawned in the game; they had been cleaned up.
Meanwhile, as the camera pans around, you can see many people busy at work.
Without exception.
These people all had a parasite resembling a facehugger on the back of their necks.
Judging from their clothing, about half of these people are soldiers, and the other half are tourists.
But whether they were soldiers or tourists, they were all working very "professionally" at that moment, whether they were repairing equipment, inspecting aircraft or troubleshooting, as if they were professionals.
Seeing this, Xu Jiayang felt a little heavy-hearted.
Clearly, the Zerg are not only capable of parasitism, but they can also communicate efficiently in some way after parasitizing, allowing someone who knows nothing about them to master a certain skill in a short period of time!
"Fuck!"
He sighed inwardly, and the live camera lens continued to move around.
Ultimately, the target was a two-person team. One of them looked like a soldier, and the other was a tourist. Both of them were wearing special flight gear and were walking in neat formation, one in front of the other.
Finally, they arrived in front of a B-2.
With the assistance of ground crew, the two boarded what remains the most advanced strategic bomber in the world's publicly available fleet to this day.
Throughout the entire process, not a single word was exchanged, yet everyone seemed to be on the same wavelength.
"Holy crap, how did they do that?"
"Some kind of insectoid pheromone? Or some special tacit understanding? Or is there really such a thing as telepathy?"
My roommate next to me also noticed the problem and started yelling in alarm.
Xu Jiayang remained silent.
Watching the B-2 fighter jet, fully loaded with ammunition, take off in the video.
.....
David Walker opened his eyes in the luxurious living room.
He saw Secret Service agents.
"Trespassing."
"I can sue you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged white man at the head of the group took out a document, showed it to him, and said:
"Sorry, Mr. Walker, we'll be leaving now."
"But I need to convey the President's orders before I leave."
"You have been relieved of all your duties."
