” 3 million…if Li Wei Bo really does not have any nuclear weapons…”
” Impossible, Li Wei Bo and w.a.n.g Fu Tu were obviously acting…”
” 3 million Dark Matter. That’s enough for three purple items…”
This was Zhao Yu’s first time partic.i.p.ating in a duel. After it began, in a flash, he found himself in a different s.p.a.ce.
[Fair Duel]
[Faction: Blue]
[Location: Inside an oxygen planet]
[Range: 100 km x 100 km]
[Military Unit: 100]
[Duel Time: 10 minutes]
[Victory Conditions: 1. The team with more military units left after 10 minutes wins. 2. Destroying the enemy’s main base results in an immediate win.]
Meanwhile, a map appeared in Zhao Yu’s mind, showing the terrain for the duel.
His blue team was on the far left of the map, and the enemy’s red team was on the far right.
On this virtual map, only the main bases of both sides were visible. To find out about the enemy’s units, one had to scout on their own.
All his 100 military units were neatly positioned in front of his main base.
Most of these units were fighter jets, with missiles equipped with nuclear warheads hanging beneath their wings.
A few were genuine s.p.a.ceship, possessing technology far surpa.s.sing a Level 1 civilization.
Wondering if gravitational wave detector would work in this virtual environment. Zhao Yu immediately activated his gravitational wave detector, feeling a bit nervous,
To his surprise, it worked.
Who knew that it was actually usable in a virtual world..
Zhao Yu mused briefly and quickly focused on his screen.
On the screen, most of the enemy’s units were also fighter jets. A few were ground-based defensive sentries placed around their main base.
After a glance, Zhao Yu got a clear picture of the enemy’s military force units.
Apart from a few scouting and signal jamming units, there was also a large vehicle, clearly carried a secret weapon.
Judging by the size of its missiles, it had significant nuclear capabilities and a fast firing rate.
Just then, the enemy made their move.
Fifty fighter jets took off from their base, splitting into ten squads, rapidly heading his way.
At the same time, his defense systems detected the enemy’s scouting signals.
Zhao Yu promptly jammed all these signals.
He then emitted a huge amount of electromagnetic signals across the entire map, effectively blinding the enemy.
Yet, he still had his gravitational wave detector to rely on.
After observing the enemy jets’ trajectory, Zhao Yu mentally commanded his jets to intercept.
Elsewhere, Li Wei Bo stood in front of his main base, looking towards the direction of the blue team with a smirk.
“3 millions shall be mine…”
He was very confident. His team’s formation was perfected after hundreds of ranked duels.
Just then, a buzzing sound came from the scouting equipment. Li Wei Bo was momentarily stunned but then sneered, “Blocking the entire map, do you think I’d be scared?”
Having fought countless battles, he was confident in his victory. He had faced opponents who blocked the entire map before, but without exception, he had defeated them all.
“Lower the speed of the fighter jet…”
Zhao Yu noticed that the speed of the opponent’s fighter jet was indeed impressive, reaching the upper limit of a Level 1 civilization.
However, both the speed of his fighter jet and the missiles it carried exceeded this Level 1 limit.
Zhao Yu’s fighter jet was far superior to the opponent’s. If he was certain of his victory, there was no need to reveal too much.
So, Zhao Yu adjusted the speed of his jet to match the opponent’s, but the speed of his weapons remained unchanged.
His 100 military units were specially designed.
Each fighter jet had two sets of weapons: one set of standard weapons and another set of advanced weapons that exceeded Level 1 technology.
Rather than calling them fighter jets, it was more appropriate to label them as s.p.a.ce warships with the appearance of jets.
“I can’t split my consciousness…”
Zhao Yu realized a problem: even though he had dispatched the fighter jets with his intention, they could only move according to their initial trajectories.
For detailed actions, he had to immerse his consciousness into a specific military unit.
This meant that, out of the 100 units, he could only issue simple commands.
Such as maintaining a fixed path, flying towards the enemy base, attacking enemy units, dodging enemy attacks, etc.
Details on how to dodge depended on the jet itself.
Zhao Yu stroked his chin, considering the current situation.
“To win against him is easy. The challenge is to defeat him without revealing my true strength…”
Zhao Yu did not wish to find no one willing to challenge him again.
Compared to rankings, what mattered more was his chance to win the golden life-extending item.
“I have to make him believe that our strengths are similar. That my victory is merely due to better tactics…”
After a brief contemplation, Zhao Yu formulated a plan.
Watching the enemy’s movements on the gravitational wave detector, he sent some of his jets around the enemy’s to stand by near their base.
This was to ensure that he could strike their base if needed.
Zhao Yu stopped some jets in their tracks, right in the path of the enemy’s jets.
Finally, controlling one jet directly, he instructed four other jets in the same group to follow, and they sped towards the fastest enemy jets.
Soon, the two sides clashed in battle. Zhao Yu cautiously fired a standard missile.
The enemy jet instinctively fired an intercepting missile and started counterattacking.
Both sides seemingly equal in combat power.
The situation on the front lines was soon received by Li Wei Bo. He joined the battle with Zhao Yu.
After a few rounds, Li Wei Bo’s initial tension eased.
“The speed of the fighter jet and the power of the missiles are about the same as mine…”
“Are you as experienced as me?!!”
Li Wei Bo focused on the overall situation, readying a large missile.
Time pa.s.sed quickly. Eight minutes went by, and neither side had incurred any damage.
Yet, Li Wei Bo was calm. At that moment, more than thirty of his jets had broken through and reached behind enemy lines, only a few kilometers away from the blue base.
“It’s almost time, let’s start!”
Every jet moved according to his plan. Without hesitation, Li Wei Bo gave the order for a full-scale attack.
“3 million, how delightful…”
Immersed in his thoughts, and as ten minutes approached, Li Wei Bo suddenly realized that the damage panel for both sides still read zero.
“What’s happening? Are all this units land-based defense?”
Just a few seconds shy of the ten-minute mark, the panel changed.
The damage ratio switched from o:o to 1:0.
Li Wei Bo was in shock, “This is impossible!”
A second later, the battle ended.
[Duel ended, calculating results…]
[Red base intact, remaining military units: 99]
[Blue base intact, remaining military units: 100]
[Blue side wins!]
[Based on the duel, Blue side gains 3 million dark matter. After deducting 10% tax, 2.7 million dark matter is awarded…]
“Tax?!”
Hearing the electronic voice from the virtual world, Zhao Yu felt a twinge of annoyance. Winning yet taxed, taking away 10%, 300,000 dark matter.
Before he could dwell on it, the results vanished. As his vision blurred, he found himself back at Count’s Island’s duel platform..
