50: Best moments of the year

When the audience saw the scene of the Positron Cannon instantly annihilating thousands of mechs, the entire screen was flooded with countless question marks.

Immediately, a massive wave of bullet comments erupted like a broken dam.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!"

"What was that huge beam of light just now? I just saw the screen flash, and then so many mechs on the Blue Star side were gone?"

"Oh my goodness, I've studied the Hai Star's background. This is their strongest ship cannon, I think it's called the Positron Cannon."

"Thousands of mechs were instantly vaporized, not even a speck left. The impact was unparalleled."

"Damn it, that shot almost made my graphics card smoke."

"+1."

..."+17855."

"My host is already smoking. Quickly set a threshold; it's really about to give out."

"I got goosebumps all over. If the Hai Star fleet is this strong, what's the point of fighting?"

"This game is too hardcore, isn't it?"

"This is the main theme of interstellar warfare; it's this brutal when power is unequal."

While ordinary people were still exclaiming in the live stream, clever viewers had already uploaded the recorded content to short video platforms, hoping to ride a wave of traffic.

Within minutes, various short video platforms were filled with videos of different titles.

["star sea knight Epic Scene"]

["Positron Cannon Warning"]

["Interstellar War is Too Cruel"]

...One of these short videos was directly pushed to the top of the trending list. You could see it immediately upon opening the app, and its popularity soared.

["High Energy Ahead: This Is Not a Movie, This Is star sea knight Gameplay Footage"]

The video content was very short, showing only a Positron Cannon, over a hundred meters in diameter, piercing through space, and the entire process of thousands of mechs instantly vaporizing.

The uploader was a tech enthusiast and understood how to create a good show; this video was edited into three segments.

The first segment was played at one-tenth speed.

When the Positron Cannon fired, one could clearly see the distorted spatial ripples at the edges, and the entire process of the mechs being consumed by energy, from solid form to particle form, and then to complete disappearance. Every frame was full of violent aesthetics.

The second segment was played at one-fifth speed.

In this segment, one could distinctly feel the overwhelming oppressive force rushing forward.

The last segment was played at normal speed.

In an instant, only a flash of light was seen, and the mechs in a certain area were blasted into dust, with not even a speck remaining.

This video spread like a virus across the entire network, even reaching some mainstream video sites overseas.

The comment section went completely wild.

["Holy crap, I watched it ten times. Is this really game footage?"]

["In the ten-times slow-motion version, I can guess how desperate those unlucky players must have been, hahahaha."]

["Star Sea: I play for realism!"]

["Does this game have no beginner protection period? It just throws you into such a massive scene right away?"]

["I declare this to be the best game scene of the year, bar none."]

["So now the question is, how do you dodge this kind of area-of-effect attack in this game?"]

["See that eight-winged seraph? Just stick close to him."]

As these short videos spread like wildfire, more and more people realized what was happening and flocked to the Feiyu live streaming platform.

The number of viewers in Bai Xiaofei's live stream began to skyrocket exponentially.

Feiyu backend.

Chen Ming watched the torrent of traffic data and the constantly breaking records of online viewers in Bai Xiaofei's live stream, his breathing grew heavy with excitement, his face flushed red, and even his hands trembled incessantly.

This wave of traffic was immense; whether the platform could handle it all at once was the key moving forward!

"Quick, open all backup servers; we must ensure the live stream runs smoothly!"

"Immediately notify the operations team to borrow servers from other sections!"

--- After He Ming composed himself, he issued an order to the squad to continue the mission.

He himself leaned back in the pilot's seat, his hands flipping through the virtual information displayed before him.

The seraph's operation required no concern from him; jarvis was personally in charge of control.

["Neural Compatibility"] ["Mech Control"] ["Tactical Awareness"] ["Combat Intuition"] ["Growth Potential"] ["Extreme Pressure Tolerance"]

These were the six-dimensional graph data for mech pilots.

["Zhang Zhifei - Overall Rating: B+"]

His six-dimensional area was very ordinary, only [Growth Potential] broke through the chart's limits and exceeded it by more than half a grid.

["Bai Xiaofei - Overall Potential Rating: SS+"]

The six-dimensional chart was full, with no weaknesses.

["Jiang Lin - Overall Potential Rating: S"]

His [Neural Compatibility], [Combat Intuition], and [Extreme Pressure Tolerance] data were full, while the other three data points were slightly weaker.

["Jiang Yue - Overall Potential Rating: S-"]

[Neural Compatibility] was full, [Extreme Pressure Tolerance] was slightly weaker, and the other data were close to full.

After reviewing the data, a trace of surprise flashed in He Ming's eyes.

Although Zhang Zhifei was the weakest of the four, only his abilities surpassed the limits of the six-dimensional chart, and that was in [Growth Potential].

"No wonder you put Zhang Zhifei in the team; he's a potential stock."

["Warning: Dense swarm of small drones detected, Quantity: 3900"]

As soon as the warning appeared, countless blood-red light dots emerged in the dark universe ahead, and thousands of small drones swarmed towards the squad.

The seraph took the lead, its eight mechanical wings on its back instantly unfolded, and eighty floating cannon units flew out from them.

Countless slender energy beams poured out from the muzzles of the floating cannons, weaving a dense net of firepower in the void.

The drone swarm at the very front crashed into a wall of lament.

Occasionally, a few special models broke through the net of fire, but they were blocked a few meters from the seraph's body by a light blue, diamond-shaped energy shield.

The seraph was like a diligent NPC, but it only handled the frontal battlefield, ignoring the drones constantly circling to the left and right flanks, as well as the far rear.

It was clear at a glance that these were problems the players needed to overcome themselves.

"Holy crap, so many!"

Zhang Zhifei's voice trembled, and he felt his scalp tingle.

During training, the fastest moving targets he hit only appeared two at a time, and his hit rate was still abysmal. How was he supposed to defend against these countless, densely packed enemies now?

Soon, Bai Xiaofei gave him a perfect answer.

"I'll take the right side."

The armor on the outer side of Bai Xiaofei's light blue mech's arms popped out, revealing two flat, high-frequency particle rapid-fire pistols.

Several laser beams shot out alternately at an astonishing frequency, precisely detonating drones attempting to attack from the right.

Bai Xiaofei's firing rhythm was extremely stable; each burst was inevitably accompanied by the explosion of a Hai Star drone.

One person with two guns, he single-handedly constructed a perfect right-side defense line amidst the dense drone swarm.

On the left, the siblings Jiang Lin and Jiang Yue exchanged glances.

"Let's go."

"Okay!"

A black and a white mech almost simultaneously drew two laser beam weapons from their waists. A flash of white light, and they transformed into two high-frequency vibrating particle light swords.

The next moment.

Both mechs' engines went full throttle, charging like arrows from a bow towards the drone swarm on the left.

The twin swords in the siblings' hands became a deadly waltz.

Jiang Lin's sword style was broad and sweeping, each strike carrying the momentum to cleave stars, often severing several drones at the waist with a single swing, causing chain reactions of explosions.

Jiang Yue's swordsmanship was more agile, like a butterfly flitting through flowers, dancing through the gaps in the drone swarm. Her magnificent slashes created deadly arcs of light, and all drones attempting to approach the white mech were cut into pieces.

The siblings adopted an offensive defense, stabilizing the front line with the most ferocious method.
