110: Chapter 110 Heavenly Torpedo

The kaitian torpedo was a product of desperation from Sakura Country during the Second World War in the old era, a form of precision guidance that transcended its time!

It was indeed precision guidance; this thing involved stuffing a person into a torpedo, using human flesh for guidance!

To put it simply, it was a 'suicide torpedo'!

Two kaitian torpedoes, one for the Shadow Person and one for the Norn, exactly enough, not too many and not too few.

Neither the Shadow Person nor the Norn had any background in engineering, and even if they did, without [Blue Star Branch Engineering], they wouldn't be able to fathom the function of this thing.

Suspecting nothing, they took the torpedo handed to them by Chen Aoyun—this "Instant Noodle"—and poured all their power into it to activate it, preparing to do battle with the Blue Star [Heroic Spirit], when they became numb.

They were truly numb!

The power rules of Terry World had not taken root in Blue Star. As a product of Blue Star, the 'kaitian torpedo' was already one level higher than the two's power in terms of rules. Furthermore, in order to kill the Blue Star [Heroic Spirit] before them with one blow, they had poured their own power into the 'kaitian torpedo', hoping to utilize the 'kaitian torpedo's' native attributes to convert that poured-in power.

Now, look at that: the 'kaitian torpedo' was activated, epicly enhanced, and had also enveloped the two of them.

The torpedo had launched, charging toward the Blue Star [Heroic Spirit] in a suicide attack.

The Norn was numb, unable to escape from the 'kaitian torpedo', and began cursing.

The Shadow Person was even more numb!

The Shadow Race was cold-blooded, dark, brutal, and cruel, but no matter how much of a bastard the Shadow Race was, they only acted like that toward other races!

It was truly an eye-opener; this world actually had a civilization that would treat its own people as weapons and cannon fodder, developing this kind of suicide weapon that killed whoever used it.

Damn it, who exactly was the creature with the evil attribute?!

The torpedo, trailing exhaust flames and carrying the two from the other world, slammed head-on into the Sakura [Heroic Spirit].

Boom—!

Two flowers bloomed.

The violent explosion blurred the figure of the Sakura [Heroic Spirit].

The Sakura people on Blue Star had no idea what had happened, but their own national destiny had inexplicably decreased by a large chunk.

That was how it went when invading a world with sufficient destiny for the first time; [Heroic Spirits] would appear to defend it. This was all thanks to the internal beta test set up by Tang Junlin; without the internal beta, there would have been no [Heroic Spirits] appearing to intercept.

After being blown up, the Sakura [Heroic Spirit] quickly dissipated. The Blue Star anchor point came from the engineering item 'kaitian torpedo'; perhaps for this reason, the first [Heroic Spirit] to come forward to block the other world's arrival was the Sakura Country [Heroic Spirit].

Perhaps [Heroic Spirits] from other civilizations would arrive soon. Chen Aoyun was unsure if his current state would be viewed with hostility if he bumped into other [Heroic Spirits]. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, and the small opening in the world barrier after the Sakura Country [Heroic Spirit] was defeated...

Chen Aoyun hurriedly felt around the wreckage of the 'kaitian torpedo'. The two aliens were already dead—dead as could be, completely carbonized—but the 'emblem stele' on their bodies was completely intact.

It was worthy of being a treasure that carried the power of a Terry World [Heroic Spirit]; it was solid enough that not even a trace of a scratch could be seen.

Without another word, Chen Aoyun put the 'emblem stele' of the Shadow Race and the Norn race into his backpack, then dove into the world barrier without looking back.

The next moment, Chen Aoyun returned to the basement of the original Dragon Country exhibition hall.

The bamboo slip item left behind by Tang Junlin was still there, but the woman in red who had been floating in mid-air had disappeared.

Recalling Tang Junlin's words, "This is the first time you and I have met, and also the last," Chen Aoyun bowed toward the place where Tang Junlin had originally floated, as a farewell.

He didn't know if the bamboo slip on the stone platform was still useful, but even if it wasn't, Chen Aoyun was prepared to take it back as a memento. However, when Chen Aoyun reached out to take the bamboo slip, the moment he touched it, the bamboo slip, like an ancient artifact weathered and eroded by the ravages of time, turned into dust.

As the bamboo slip turned to dust, the invisible wall of fog also disappeared.

Group Leader Chen Feng, who had been waiting anxiously on the other side of the fog, finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"How long has it been?" Chen Aoyun asked.

"Three and a half days, nearly four." The entire underground space of the exhibition hall was no longer filled with the misty aura, and even the legacy item left behind by the first Dragon Country [Strategist] Tang Junlin—which had been lying quietly on the stone platform, emitting light for over a thousand years, though no one knew what it was—had completely disappeared.

Group Leader Chen Feng did not intend to hold him accountable, but asked curiously, "What happened?"

Chen Aoyun said calmly, "I made a friend, and she took me around for a bit..."

...

Returning to the Support Group base, everything seemed the same; Chen Aoyun was still that eager-to-learn external personnel.

But those with a discerning eye noticed that Chen Aoyun was a little different.

When learning the knowledge of the Game of National Destiny with Zhao Hongxiu and the others, he became even more serious, and the questions he raised were even more tricky. Chen Aoyun's questions often jumped out of the rules of the Game of National Destiny itself, thinking about problems from a perspective of treating the match as a total war.

Besides this, Chen Aoyun's temperament and physical fitness had also changed significantly.

His body outline hadn't changed much, but the strength and explosiveness of his entire body were comparable to a warrior enhanced by a [Heroic Spirit] in the Game of National Destiny!

"Looking slim in clothes but muscular when undressed" was exactly how one would describe Chen Aoyun now.

He did not tell anyone about Tang Junlin or his encounter in the other world.

Both his [Strategist] ability and [Roleplayer] ability had become dual sets, and his character panel information was still there; he could even activate skills in the real world!

In his private room, Chen Aoyun took out those two 'emblem steles'.

If not for Tang Junlin's internal beta test, once these two steles appeared on Blue Star, they would have attached themselves to any object and become an entrance to a 'Star Chess War' instance!

The power of 'Terry World' wanted to take root in Blue Star, and the 'Star Chess War' instance was the breakthrough point.

The Shadow Race and the Norn race would turn into NPCs in the instance, helping humans resist the demons within the instance.

This was an open conspiracy.

If the demons in the instance were not cleared within a certain amount of time, the demons would walk out of the instance and wreak havoc on the real world of Blue Star.

If one wanted to clear the demons in the instance, but was not strong enough themselves, they would have to learn the culture of Terry World and borrow the [Heroic Spirits] and power of Terry World.

The more one learned and the more power one borrowed, the more Terry World would erode Blue Star!

This was the first stage of the invasion: the Contact Stage.

After the power of Terry World had eroded Blue Star enough, it would reach the second stage: the Arrival Stage.

They would no longer be the kind-hearted mentors and allies fighting against demons together.

But competitors!

Terry World would send more powerful [Strategists] and [Roleplayers] to resist the demons, just like the rankings during the internal beta. When the people of Terry World achieved rankings on the Star Chessboard that were consistently higher than the native civilization, and when the contribution of the other world to Blue Star surpassed the native civilization, and finally received the recognition of the World Will, then it would reach the final stage:

The Annexation Stage, which was the Star Chess War stage!

Fortunately, Blue Star at this moment had the internal beta test set up by Tang Junlin.

The first stage: the flavor of the Contact Stage had changed.

It was bundled under the rules of the internal beta, and the current Blue Star was not a Blue Star that was helpless against demons and needed to borrow power from another world.

"One cannot close the country to the outside world; the internal beta will eventually disappear one day.

Arrival is mutual!

Tang Junlin opened the gate of Terry World for me once; next time I go, I will have to rely on myself!"

The items in the auction house of the main city of Shire made Chen Aoyun drool. The Contact Stage had already begun, bundled within the internal beta. Winning a Game of National Destiny that involved the participation of other worlds would allow one to go to Terry World once again.

Whether it was to fight for national destiny for Dragon Country or to get a ticket to go to Terry World again, Chen Aoyun was determined to win the Game of National Destiny in ten days!
