This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1288 - 571 Mechanic_3

However, they stopped their actions just before attacking and refocused on the mechanical beings from outside, no longer paying attention to the players.

Mu You guessed that this must have been an instruction conveyed by the Mirage Tapir, which can see what’s happening in the Mirage Energy. It must have sensed that they were there to help, so for the time being, it chose to join forces with them.

This made everyone relax a lot, and they could concentrate on dealing with the mechanical beings outside with ease.

Attacking these mechanical beings also grants experience points. There’s no need to completely kill them; even if they revive immediately after death, players still get the experience points they deserve.

Moreover, with the current dense battle line, any attack launched could hit a swath of targets, making the efficiency of leveling up hardly any worse than in the Underground City, which surprised all the players greatly.

Keep in mind, the Underground City still has entry and time limits, while here, they could fire at will indefinitely.

After a short engagement, many players quickly became fond of the sensation of their experience points rapidly increasing.

In addition, to motivate the players, several City Lords collectively issued a City Lord mission: for each Mecha successfully disabled by a player, they would receive ten points of Fool Prestige, and the group of players with the highest kill count from each city could win the chance to hold key positions in the major institutions of Sky City.

With dual incentives, the players became even more decisive and vigorous in their actions.

In this fierce exchange of fire, time slowly passed by.

In the blink of an eye, another day went by.

The players, who had been fighting all day, were exhausted no matter how good their stamina was, and they had to reluctantly rotate out.

And the new batch of players had already started arriving at the battlefield in succession, filling their places. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

The next morning, Mu You and several City Lords gathered again for a temporary strategy meeting, mainly to tally up the battlefield situation and casualties from the previous day.

"The casualty situation isn’t really an issue; the players are quite shrewd. They tend to cower behind Mirage Creatures, letting them take the brunt of the damage as vanguards and then striking opportunistically."

"Even if some players are unlucky enough to die multiple times, the little experience they lose is nothing compared to what they earn. Overall, they’re making a profit, otherwise, they wouldn’t be so willing to fight on the frontlines," Jiu You explained, looking at the data in her hands.

"How about the losses of the mechanical beings?" Son of Heaven asked.

"After a day-long battle yesterday, we captured a total of over seventy-three thousand Mechas. Though it seems like a huge number, it is still a negligible fraction compared to the army of mechanical beings, and it hasn’t shaken their foundation at all," she said.

"And the front line? How far has it advanced?" Mu You asked.

"That’s where the biggest problem lies. After one day, the edge of the Mirage Energy has only advanced about three thousand meters forward. At this rate, to push the edge of the Mirage Energy to the Great Abyss, it will take at least four more months!" Jiu You said.

"That long?" Everyone frowned upon hearing this.

This time frame was much longer than they had anticipated. They had originally expected to push the frontlines over within a day or two, but it seems they were overly optimistic.

Of course, the mechanized legion is probably more anxious now than they are. Their original intention was to drive the Mirage Creatures out of Star Spirit World, and yet they are being pushed towards the Great Abyss.

Keep in mind that for every meter the edge of the Mirage Energy advances, it is like the mechanical beings are one meter closer to death.

So, on the surface, the Fools are still at an advantage.

However, the problem is they can’t afford to delay either. The nine Black Holes on Earth are all still active, and the Titans from Sky High might discover these remnants at any moment and invade. They must make Sky City ascend to block these Black Holes before that happens.

How much time this deadline gives, no one can tell; it all depends on luck, but it’s definitely not as long as four months.

"Boss, someone is looking for you..."

As Mu You was contemplating the solutions during the meeting, Little Ya suddenly tugged at his sleeve and said softly.

"Oh? Who’s looking for me?" Mu You glanced at Little Ya and, seeing her pointing towards the door, indicated to the others and walked out of the meeting room with her.

Outside the meeting room, indeed, there was a familiar figure waiting for him.

"Katerina? What’s going on?" Mu You looked at the woman in front of him.

The person at the door was the other Vampire, Death Whisperer Katerina, who had cleared the City of Enoch with him before.

"Last night, I saw your future again in my dreams!" Katerina said solemnly.
