Chapter 240: City “Ma.s.sacre” (2)
Chapter 240 – City “Ma.s.sacre” (2)
“Charge!”
Following Chen Yu’s command, nearly 400 people charged forward and fought for the white pillows on the ground.
However, due to their different ident.i.ties, everyone’s action after picking up their “weapon” also varied from each other.
In the case of the bullet comment group’s 10 members, they followed Chen Yu’s orders down to the letter and immediately started attacking the people around them after picking up a pillow.
As for the donation group’s 10 members, they pulled out all sorts of gadgets and gla.s.s bottles and started desperately collecting the material inside the pillows, avoiding a situation where they would return without any results after getting knocked unconscious.
As for the hospital group’s 300-plus members, the majority of them fervently struck themselves until they fainted as soon as they picked up a pillow.
Compared to winning or losing the game, what they were more concerned about was curing their own ailments…
Chen Yu: “…”
“Demacia!”
The youth with the ID Unrealistic ran as fast as lightning and smashed his pillow heavily into the head of a middle-aged man.
Poof!
White dust diffused out of the pillow. Immediately, the fl.u.s.tered expression on the middle-aged man’s face disappeared, and he ran forward to pick up a pillow on the ground. He then sent the pillow smashing into Unrealistic’s face.
Poof!
“I lost health!” After inhaling a mouthful of dopamine vapors, Unrealistic grew even more excited. Tightening his grip on his pillow, the youth fought back with murderous intent!
Poof!
Poof!
Poof…
After five exchanges, Unrealistic collapsed to the ground, his consciousness blurring. “Fun… How fun…”
“Hah!”
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man’s excitement had reached its peak, and he opened his arms and laughed at the sky. “Ahahaha—ugh.”
Poof!
The man’s laughter abruptly stopped as a pillow a.s.saulted him from behind and sent him to the ground…
After agilely dodging the partic.i.p.ants’ attacks, Chen Yu picked up the collapsed partic.i.p.ants and removed them from the battlefield.
Meanwhile, more and more onlookers grew interested in the battle. These people scrambled for a pillow to join the fight.
The dopamine floating in the air spread like a plague and rapidly infected the surrounding crowd. In no time at all, everyone at the plaza was drowning in euphoria.
Shortly afterward, the battlefield also extended to the surrounding shopping malls, office buildings, and pedestrian streets.
After receiving an order from the higher-ups, the local police department also quickly dispatched officers to lock down the area’s traffic. Several dozen officers were also sent to check if any problems were occurring within the event venue. However, these officers also quickly got “infected” and started happily waving around a Fight Pillow…
Five minutes later, four ambulances arrived at the area and drove into the plaza. They stood on standby for any emergencies. However, one of the nurses ended up falling to temptation, resulting in a quick annihilation of the medical team…
Ten minutes later, five fire trucks arrived at the plaza. The firefighters on board similarly fell to the euphoric atmosphere…
With the plaza’s center as the starting point, the small city of Alxa’s city center gradually became a sea of joy.
Although there were only 500 Fight Pillows available, the rate at which partic.i.p.ants collapsed was much faster than the rate at which new partic.i.p.ants joined the event.
[Lololol!]
[How interesting. I’m going to buy some pillows to play with as well.]
[It would be great if humans could solve their wars with such games.]
[The life of future humans really is colorful…]
[c.r.a.p! I’m late! I got blocked outside again! Dammit!]
[Just say that you’re sick and that you need to be treated. The officers will definitely let you enter.]
[Can you give us more shots of the female a.s.sistant?]
[I’ve fought in a pillow fight before. I was still a virgin man when I first played it. Now, I’m already the mother of two children. I really miss those times…]
[?]
[??!]
[!!]
As time went by, more and more onlookers had learned of the Fight Pillows’ effect, and they started joining in on the battle. However, as the area was locked down, the number of unconscious people had already exceeded the number of conscious people.
Meanwhile, among all the players on the battlefield, the strongest one was undoubtedly Little Peach. As she had a computer chip for a brain, the dopamine vapors had no effect on her. Taking advantage of this point, she abandoned defense and happily brandished her pillow at everyone in her path.
However, after Little Peach went crazy for a short while, Chen Yu stopped her, “Stop playing. Time to work.”
“Huh?” Tilting her head, Little Peach asked, “What work?”
“Transfer the unconscious partic.i.p.ants back to the castle.”
“Let me play a little while longer!” Little Peach stomped her feet coquettishly, her stomps cracking the marble tiles of the plaza.
“…Be good. We have plenty of time to play once we head back,” Chen Yu said in a gentle tone.
“Fine…”
Looking back at the people ecstatically smashing pillows into each other’s faces, Little Peach reluctantly threw her pillow onto the ground.
“First, wake up the hospital supervisors and doctors. Also, have the donation group’s members help you transfer the unconscious people. Remember not to wake up the unconscious patients and bullet comment group members. The longer they remain unconscious, the more health benefits they will receive,” Chen Yu instructed Little Peach as they walked toward the Interstellar Portal. “As for the city’s residents, ignore them. The government will take care of them.”
“Am I going to do it alone? What will you be doing?”
“I’ve been outside for too long. To be safe, I’m going to go put on the protective suit and return to collect the pillows.” After arriving before the portal, Chen Yu waved his hand and said, “Quickly take action.”
After saying so, Chen Yu crossed the portal and arrived back in the floating castle’s central courtyard.
As soon as Chen Yu arrived back in the courtyard, the first thing he saw was a black doctor in a white coat. This doctor was currently enthusiastically petting a panda in the corner of the courtyard.
Chen Yu: “…What the heck are you doing?”
Startled by Chen Yu’s return, the black doctor hurriedly waved his hands and explained in poor Chinese, “R-Rubbing…panda…”
“…”
“Get lost.”
After dragging the doctor and tossing him into the portal, Chen Yu tidied up his wizard robe and faced the camera. Sternly, he said, “Everyone should’ve already gotten an understanding of the Fight Pillow’s function. The pillow fight is also almost at its end. Before the fight ends, we also have to prepare for the livestream’s second segment in advance.”
After saying so, Chen Yu pulled out a doc.u.ment from his robe and displayed it to the camera. “As I said before, the livestream’s second segment is an important announcement related to the floating castle. So, I hereby officially extend an invitation to the following people…
“Beijing University, School of Mathematics: Academician Jiang Bo and Academician Chen Jia; School of Physics: Academician Tian Gang; School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering: Academician Su Lemin, Professor Zhou Li. School of Life Sciences: Professor Fang Jingyun…
“Harbin Inst.i.tute of Technology, School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering: Professor Bai Jicheng.
“Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Inst.i.tute of Computer Science and Technology: Academician Cheng Zhian, Professor Li Yong…
“Beijing Jiaotong University, School of Basic Medicine: Academician Chang Jingling.
“Ma.s.sachusetts Inst.i.tute of Technology, School of Earth and s.p.a.ce Sciences: Professor Wheeler Riels, Professor Charlie Bolsmans…
“Moscow University, Software Engineering Research Center: Professor Klermore Krzemowski.
“The National University of Singapore, School of Social Relations: Professor Zhang Mingjiu.
“The University of Tokyo, School of New Materials Science: Professor Umekawa Yoko…”
Chen Yu took seven minutes to read all of the names listed on his doc.u.ment. He then stored the doc.u.ment away and faced the camera, “All professors mentioned above, you have one hour to prepare. One hour later, I will deploy portals to the plaza of your respective inst.i.tutions. If you are absent, I will deem it as a refusal of my invitation.
“However, I believe none of you would be absent. After all, this might possibly be human civilization’s brightest moment…”
After saying so, Chen Yu left the camera in place while he made his way to the Headmaster’s Tower.
