Chapter 127 True Strength: The Five Permanent Members of the UN Security Council vs. the Whole World!

Chapter 127: True Hard Power, the five permanent members vs. The World!

[System Notification: Designer No. 001 of the Deer Civilization has used a special item!]

[In the next 15 seconds, the Level 7 authority 'Election of Absolute Disregard' will randomly select players to enter the joint dungeon 'Interstellar War'!]

Just as the golden card transformed into starlight and dissipated before Nie Deer...

The abrupt system notification echoed throughout the universe. Its arrival slightly pulled the players' attention away from 'colorful'.

"Crap! How could I forget! These high-level players with deep foundations would use special items!"

"This activity didn't restrict players from using special items, I'm seriously at a loss!"

"If you're selected by 'Interstellar War', you'll lose 10 basic points for nothing!"

"Selected players should just surrender immediately."

"I think so too. After all, losing only 10 points is much better than wasting both time and points."

"It would be one thing if only Designer No. 001 of the Deer Civilization used a special item."

"Take a look at the notification page in the War Hall."

"?!!"

"Holy crap, Hall-level Designers and several Legendary Designers have all used special items!"

...

While the players were in a heated discussion...

Several system notification banners suddenly flashed across various civilizations. Their appearance signified that War Designers of the same rank as Nie Deer had used special items!

The appearance of 'Election of Absolute Disregard' seemed to have opened a mysterious Pandora's box.

[System Notification: Designer No. 0223 of the Tianhun Civilization has used a special item.]

[System Notification: Designer No. 066 of the Blood Sea Civilization has used a special item.]

[System Notification: Designer No. 212 of the Restarter Civilization has used a special item.]

Using special items to forcibly pull players into their own dungeons... this was the confidence that Legendary and Hall-level Designers brought to The Activity!

After all, as high-level players of 'war era'...

They were well aware that their integrated activity dungeons might face the problem of having too few players attempting them!

But even so!

They still chose to participate in The Activity!

As such...

How could they not have a certain level of confidence?

*Whoosh—*

Very soon!

Accompanied by the sound effects of special items being used, players from various civilizations were continuously selected by war dungeons!

[War Designer No. 001 of Deer Civilization - 'Interstellar War']: 1,500 participating players!

[War Designer No. 066 of Blood Sea Civilization - 'Blood Sea Universe']: 2,000 participating players!

[...]

In the War Hall.

Looking at the number of players forcibly selected for these dungeons...

All the players couldn't help but gulp.

The number of people participating in these S-rank team joint dungeons was at least 1,000, and at most tens of thousands. The appetites of these top-tier War Designers were truly too large!

They,

Were planning to finalize their rankings on the leaderboard through this single dungeon run, leaving no room for other players to survive at all!

"Does that Designer from Azure Star... still have a chance to make it onto the leaderboard?"

"Probably not anymore."

"Even if his joint dungeon 'colorful' can hold out until the end, he won't be able to get a ranking on the leaderboard."

"Yeah... these Legendary and Hall-level Designers can get tens or hundreds of thousands of points in one go, while the one from Azure Star can get a few thousand at most. How can he compete with them?"

"Forget about comparing him to those people, he can't even match up to some of the slightly more powerful Designers!"

"It seems the highlight moment for Designer No. 009 of Azure Star ends here."

At this moment...

All the players who still held expectations for Su Qiu gave up hope.

Every activity released by Skynet lacked a novice protection mechanism; it was cruel, a matter of survival of the fittest.

On Azure Star, Su Qiu also saw the methods of these top-tier Designers.

This time, he frowned deeply.

This was the first time Su Qiu felt pressure since coming to this world!

These War Designers at the pinnacle of 'war era' had not only created terrifying dungeons one after another but had also accumulated unfathomable resources over long years of gaming!

They,

Were simply not someone he could contend with based solely on the raw strength of his dungeon!

"To surpass these people in the speed of point acquisition, my 'colorful' must far exceed them in completion speed, because only the points gained through multiple playthroughs can match what they get in a single run!"

"But doing that presents a very serious problem."

"That is, players who see the horror of 'colorful' will no longer choose to attempt that dungeon!"

"I don't have the special items these Designers have."

"Naturally, it's impossible for me to forcibly pull these players into 'colorful' for a run."

"Relying on the dungeon alone won't beat them."

Su Qiu sighed deeply. He saw the great mountain that separated him from these people.

The mountain was too high to see the peak, too steep to climb...

Wait!

However, just as Su Qiu was about to give up on competing with them in the first round, a bold and feasible idea suddenly popped into his head!

And that method was... for him to act as a player and eliminate the dungeons created by these top-tier Designers one by one!

"If I can successfully eliminate the dungeons of these Designers..."

"They will be knocked out directly. In that case... it won't matter how many points they've earned, right?"

This was Su Qiu's only way to win.

After all, as an activity participant, he also had 100 basic points in his hand.

These points...

Were enough for him to conduct a joint dungeon run.

Thinking of this...

Su Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly and focused more intently on the joint dungeons of these top Designers. He had made a decision.

But not right now.

He had to wait for other players to complete their explorations of these dungeons one by one, and wait for their intelligence to be made public. That would be the best time for Su Qiu to strike.

...

Meanwhile, the attempt on 'colorful' began.

As 197 players were simultaneously teleported to different areas, the system's data panel appeared before their eyes!

[Strategist No. 1...]

[The territory you have obtained is located in the eastern part of the West Coast. Here, you will receive a territory area of 200,000 square kilometers, a corresponding population of 20 million, 1.5 million troops, unlimited ammunition reserves, and 100,000 Strategy Points!]

[Strategist No. 2...]

[The territory you have obtained is located in central Africa. Here, you will receive...]

Different data panels appeared before different players. They all reached out to tap the war panel, initiating the exchange of Strategy Points before the war began.

It was also at this time.

As players watching the war dungeon from a god's-eye view, everyone discovered a very special easter egg in 'colorful'.

That was,

The territory previously chosen by Takuya Kojiro, which was Bug Country, was currently in an unselectable greyed-out area.
