48-18 Final Victory
48-18 Final Victory
Using the floating ruins as cover, Dongfang Ying moved quickly, a little excited: "I wonder which little rascal stole the Twilight Ball's special drink." He dodged an oncoming bolt of lightning and leaped past a swarm of ice spikes. The floating ruins ahead were covered in ice, offering no solid footholds. Dongfang Ying thought of his broken magic skateboard. If he still had it, he should be able to reach the ancient atmosphere soon. The price he paid for showing off was quite high.
Dongfang Ying revealed the control panel, and instantly, his right arm was covered with crystalline veins. He had added a mechanism to the game where killing enemies granted him abilities.
Dongfang Ying leaped high into the air, firing five bullets backward before rolling and landing on a floating ruin he couldn't normally reach. The icy ground beneath his feet made him unsteady, so he immediately activated a magic item to levitate. The closer he got to the ancient atmosphere, the more intense the lightning and frost became, and the fewer floating ruins there were. The fewer footholds he could find, the more dangerous the environment became, and no one could reach his current height.
Clouds flashed and roared, frost surged and billowed. After a clap of thunder, a figure appeared spinning a banana, rapidly ascending. This was Dongfang Ying discovering and utilizing a characteristic: "Banana fruits are also physical entities." This meant that when you had enough rolls, you could throw the banana fruit upwards. Because of the roll's ability to trigger a judgment mechanism (only an unmodified roll is considered a characteristic; a modified one is a bug), it would cause the banana to land at a higher position. Dongfang Ying used this to quickly climb: "I'm really too clever."
After dodging a bolt of lightning, Dongfang Ying threw a banana fruit upwards, intending to use a roll, but found it had gone too far, so he immediately retrieved the banana fruit and threw it again. Above them was a massive thunderstorm.
Dongfang Ying shouted, mimicking scenes from movies, "Break!" Looking at the countless thunderclouds surging downwards, he knew one thing: he had succeeded, but it also meant he would face an even more difficult aerial battle.
A figure, enveloped in thunderclouds, burst forth from the ancient atmosphere and finally landed on a banana fruit. There wasn't even a breeze above; the thunder and icy howls seemed like they came from the last century. At the eye of the storm was a block of ice, inside which Dongfang Yun was happily swishing its tail, seemingly cheering him on.
Dongfang Ying's fingertips were numb from the cold, and the deafening roar of lightning grazing his ears was excruciating—something even the most powerful stun couldn't withstand. He knew that Dongfang Yun had drunk the Twilight Ball's special concoction and started shooting at the ice block; the ice block's health bar appeared before his eyes.
The ice blocks launched countless icicles outwards, which Dongfang Ying shattered with precise marksmanship. He then fired wildly at the ice blocks, throwing bananas just before they fell and using rolls to reposition himself.
An ice spike grazed the banana, knocking it out of its reach as it rolled. Dongfang Ying immediately withdrew it and threw it again to stabilize the situation.
Finally, the ice shattered, and the ruins crashed heavily to the ground. Less than 10 people remained. Dongfang Yun was eliminated, and Dongfang Ying continued his descent, using a perfect roll just before landing. He then used his last magical item, "Swift Fish-Seeking Sticker"—originally for underwater breathing, but Dongfang Ying felt the search function was more fitting for the name, so he modified it and added it to the game. Instantly, a special energy bar appeared below him, displaying the portraits of three players, with one minute remaining in the upper right corner. Dongfang Ying quickly spun around, memorizing everyone's approximate locations and judging distances based on the size of the portraits, before launching a lightning-fast attack.
Dongfang Ying heard the sound of the ground cracking as the starlight fragments were launched, causing it to explode. After pinpointing the location, he rolled onto a pillar to observe. Dongfang Ying saw an insignificant person get a headshot. And then… he inexplicably won? A victory crown appeared above Dongfang Ying's head, and he was teleported to the preparation area.
Dongfang Ying saw Dongfang Yun and Mo Bei waving at him from a distance and immediately ran over to ask, "Wait, how did I win?" Mo Bei said, "It's funny, when there were only three people left, the other two started fighting. One fell into a crack created by the fight and got stabbed to death. The other one, not sure if he was dead, jumped down to finish him off and got stabbed to death too." After hearing this, Dongfang Ying opened the control panel and rewound the match, finally seeing this tense scene. But what he wanted was a fair victory, not a crown falling from the sky: "A victory given to me, what kind of victory is that? If I wanted to win, I could rewind hundreds more times." Dongfang Yun immediately comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. Even if they fought you, they might not be able to beat you. After all, they were facing genius players!" Mo Bei echoed, and Dongfang Ying felt a little better after hearing this.
Dongfang Ying discovered that only his zone had finished the match the earliest, meaning he was the first to win in his zone, which was the final victory. This was all thanks to Dongfang Yun drinking the Twilight Ball special concoction. Dongfang Ying's brow remained furrowed as he tapped the screen showing the person who had fallen and been stabbed to death during the replay of the match. When he looked up, he saw the broadcast screens of other zones still having hundreds of players remaining. He couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and every now and then he would look down and gesture the shape of the trophy.
About 30 minutes later, all the regional matches were completed. Dongfang Ying, as the ultimate winner, stood on the stage and gave his acceptance speech: "Actually, I think it was too easy, not enough to win." After making this boastful remark, he immediately ran off and buried his head in Dongfang Yun's jacket. Dongfang Yun gave him a good whack on the head: "Bury your head in Mo Bei's place." Dongfang Ying could only bury his head in Mo Bei's place, and Mo Bei gently patted his back.
The shadowy figure's eyes were fixed on Dongfang Ying's back as he nestled in Mo Bei's arms. Was this... Dongfang Shijia?
