57: The ultimate humiliation of the anchor: grenade hat, crowned for you!

The black high-explosive grenade.

Traced a perfect, deadly arc through the air.

Precisely landing on the red fire hydrant that had caused the streamer “Sniper God Hao Ge” to lose face.

At this moment, the live stream’s bullet comments reached their peak.

Countless “hahaha” and “kill it” flooded the screen.

Everyone wanted to see.

If this “strongest BUG in history” would be blown sky-high.

On Hao Ge’s face.

A vengeful, ferocious smile also appeared.

“You dare to mess with me? You mere broken fire hydrant, are you worthy?!”

However.

Inside the fire hydrant.

The consciousness of the Human Emperor Gu Yanci.

Had reached the extreme of humiliation.

Mere mortals… how dare they… how dare they throw such a filthy object at Us!

If not for the rules imposed by that young girl.

He would only need a single thought.

To turn this mortal.

Along with the world he inhabited, into dust!

But now, he couldn’t.

Defying the rules was tantamount to provoking An'an.

The consequences of that.

Would be billions of times more severe than being blown up by this iron lump.

But the Human Emperor’s dignity could not be trampled upon!

Just as the grenade was about to touch the fire hydrant.

Gu Yanci made a decision that was a crazy test of the rules’ boundaries.

He did not counterattack, but instead released a wisp of extremely faint.

Yet incomparably pure Imperial Dragon Qi.

Released in an instant, and withdrawn just as quickly.

The purpose of this power.

Was not “destruction,” but “suppression”!

It was a “decree” of a higher dimension over the laws of physics!

And so.

Hao Ge and tens of millions of viewers in the live stream.

Witnessed a scene they would never be able to comprehend in this life.

The red-glowing, about-to-explode grenade.

The moment it touched the top of the fire hydrant.

It was as if the time-stop button had been pressed.

It… stopped.

The fuse was still hissing.

Emitting dangerous sparks, but it just wouldn't explode!

It just quietly, defying all Newtonian laws of physics.

Stopped on top of the fire hydrant.

Like a comical red little hat.

The smile on Hao Ge’s face completely froze.

He could barely hold the Gatling gun in his hand.

His mouth was open wide enough to fit an egg.

“I… I… what the f***?”

A thousand words ultimately condensed into a single national expletive.

The live stream’s bullet comments.

Also experienced a bizarre transformation from joy to stupor.

“???????????”

“Streamer, did you throw a dud bought from Pinduoduo?”

“Am I lagging? No, the grenade is lagging! The grenade is stuck by the server!”

“Hahahahahahaha! I laughed so hard my neighbors called the police! Fire hydrant: Is that all you got? I gave you a chance, but you’re useless!”

“Grenade: Hydrant Bro, it’s me, don’t shoot! I’m just a firework!”

Initially, everyone was still wildly teasing.

But gradually.

A strange atmosphere began to spread.

“Brothers… I’m a little scared… Is this game… a bit off?”

“This is no longer the scope of a BUG, is it? This is a supernatural event! Streamer, run! This fire hydrant has become a spirit!”

“I recorded it! Zooming in 120 times, the moment the grenade stopped, the fire hydrant seemed to emit a faint golden light! Really! Just for an instant!”

“I declare! From today onwards, I am a loyal follower of the Fire Hydrant Sect! Hydrant-men!”

“Hydrant-men!”

“Hydrant-men +1”

Hao Ge completely collapsed.

He threw away the gun in his hand, clutching his hair.

Raging helplessly at the screen:

“This game is haunted! Absolutely haunted! This isn’t a cheat! This is a GM! A GM is personally messing with me from the backend! I’ve played Hide and Seek for ten years, and I’ve never seen anything so evil! I’m not playing anymore! Refund!!!”

Just then, the game time ended.

An innocent, yet slightly displeased child’s voice.

Sounded from the depths of all the “props.”

“It’s not fun, you guys are too bullying, with just one person, I can’t find any of you.”

As the voice fell, Hao Ge’s live stream screen instantly went black.

Then it returned to the normal “Gun King Showdown” game interface.

He stared blankly at the screen.

He found that his recent record was 0 kills and 15 deaths, and he was scolded mercilessly by his teammates.

He pinched himself hard, and sharp pain came.

Could it be… everything just now was just a dream?

…The game’s host, An'an.

Was already bored with this “you hide, I seek” mode.

“There are too many people, it’s troublesome to find them… It’s not fun anymore.”

Her innocent voice.

Sounded from the depths of the Joint Squad’s five members’ hearts.

With a hint of childish willfulness.

“Let’s switch to a simpler, more fun game!”

The moment her voice fell.

The entire modern city game arena.

Spun around!

The next second.

The five members of the Joint Squad.

Found themselves inside a violently shaking.

Tin box filled with loud roaring sounds.

Their strange costumes had disappeared.

Replaced by.

Sets of tight-fitting combat suits of various styles, but equally unfamiliar.

They were firmly fixed to two rows of simple seats by an invisible force.

Surrounded by young men and women wearing equally strange costumes.

Looking focused or excited.

Blinding red alarm lights began to flash.

The hatch at the tail of the cabin slowly opened.

Below was ten thousand meters high in the sky, with surging clouds!

An'an’s cheerful voice sounded again.

Like a final judgment:

“This game is very simple, just be the last one alive~”

“Well then, let the game begin!”

An irresistible thrust came.

The five supreme powerhouses, each considered paramount in their respective worlds.

Were roughly pushed out of the cabin, like dumplings being dropped into a pot!

… [21st Century · “Apex Battleground” Global Invitational · Live Stream Room]

“Here we go, here we go! Brothers! The highly anticipated Global Finals! One hundred of the world’s top professional players, gathered in one place!”

The official commentator was using an impassioned voice to stir the atmosphere of hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide.

“We can see that the flight path is from ‘Winterport’ in the northwest to ‘Sunset City’ in the southeast. This is a very classic diagonal flight path, leaving ample choices for the players!”

“Alright, some teams have already started parachuting! It’s the ‘Lions’ team from the North American division! Their target is the military base in the center of the map! A very aggressive playstyle!”

… “What the hell is this?!”

The Human Emperor Gu Yanci, at the moment of weightlessness.

Subconsciously, he tried to activate his Imperial Dragon Qi to fly in the air.

But found that the power within him was tightly suppressed by an invisible force of rules.

He could only tumble in the strong wind like a mortal.

What a great humiliation!

This was simply a great humiliation!

He suppressed his towering rage, forcing himself to calm down.

Overlooking the huge island below from an emperor’s perspective.

He quickly treated it as a strategic sandbox.

His gaze locked onto a strategically important urban area with many buildings.

Shadow Empress Ye Liuli, on the other hand, appeared much calmer.

She even stretched her body in the air.

Like an elegant black swan, trying to control her descent.

She set her sights on a modern city filled with tall buildings and crisscrossing shadows.

Saintess Ling Xi, however, let out a short gasp.

Flapping randomly in the air with her eyes closed.

Like a startled bird.

Eventually, she aimlessly drifted towards a seemingly tranquil lake.

Heavenly Secret Daoist Cang Xuan, however, had entered a state of self-forgetfulness when he exited the cabin.

Stars seemed to swirl in his eyes.

For him, this was not parachuting.

But an unprecedented grand feng shui observation.

He constantly adjusted his posture.

Flying towards a mountain peak on the island where “dragon veins” converged and the luck was strongest.

And Phantom Ye Qiong, was the only one who enjoyed the process.

He spread his arms, letting out a suppressed mad laugh.

Actively diving towards the military base where gunshots were densest, representing the most slaughter!

… [Korean Division · KGG Team · In-team Voice Chat]

“Captain, look at the map! Five strange guys jumped!”

“Saw them. What’s going on? The IDs of these five people are all garbled, and their parachute trajectory… what is this? A shower of goddesses? Are they here for sightseeing?”

The captain of KGG.

The player “GodK,” who was hailed as “the world’s number one.”

Looking at the map.

His brows furrowed at the five light points scattering in a manner completely devoid of tactical logic.

Each fighting on their own.

“Don’t mind them, they might be entertainment streamers invited by the organizers to hype up the atmosphere. We’ll stick to our original plan, jump to P City!”

… [Global Finals · Live Stream Bullet Comments]

“Hahahahahahaha! Who are these five guys? Did they get in through the back door?”

“I’m dying of laughter! Look at the ID of the guy dressed like an emperor, his parachuting posture looks like a clumsy chicken trying to fly but can’t!”

“And that woman! Is she doing ballet in the air? Her posture is quite graceful, but it’s completely useless!”

“I declare that the ‘performance art’ team formed by these five people has provided all my laughter for today!”

“I bet ten thousand yuan, these five people will definitely be slaughtered by the professional players within three minutes of landing!”

“Three minutes? You think too highly of them! I bet thirty seconds!”

… In the Sea of Concepts.

Gu Jianghan was already laughing so hard he was doubled over.

He raised a glass of scarlet liquid, toasting the light screen from afar.

It was too brilliant!

This was simply a cosmic-level dimensionality reduction comedy!

To let a group of supreme powerhouses accustomed to fighting with divine sense and laws.

Experience mortal parachuting, gunfights, and fleeing the poison circle… An'an… the drama you created.

Its absurdity and artistic dislocation.

Has surpassed my imagination!

He watched with great interest as the five figures in the light screen.

Each landed in different corners of the island.

They were unarmed.

Completely ignorant of the “rules” of this world.

And not far from the landing point of Saintess Ling Xi, who was drifting towards the lake.

A fully armed professional player from the European division.

Had already spotted this “live target” descending from the sky.

A cruel smile curled at his lips.

He raised the dark muzzle of his M416 automatic rifle.

A “first intimate contact” between a “god” and a “mortal gunman.”

Was about to unfold!
