Core Zone, Here We Come

The players of "Delta Force" from Lu Ze's past life had a consensus: never try to change the mindset of a certain type of player.

For instance, making Zhou Qiaoling go all-out with full gear every round, or making Zhou Yue scavenge for trash in the Normal Dam all day, were both impossible.

Gaming itself is about mutual tolerance. Zhou Yue was already used to Zhong Yi's clumsy hands and Zhou Qiaoling's stinginess. After a few jokingly scolded words, they finally began their Top Secret journey.

Zhou Qiaoling instantly locked in Wasp Medic, because that way she could save money on medicine.

Zhou Yue didn't play Weilong or Red Wolf like he did in the beginning; instead, he chose Luna in the Scout role.

"I'm playing Vanguard?"

Zhong Yi was a bit dumbfounded.

The earliest offensive theory for Xianyuan Continent was proposed by him.

Position one, Vanguard: high mobility, capable of breaking through points.

Position two, Scout: scouting skills to control overall information.

Position three, Support: could be a Specialist with abundant items or a Pharmacist casting auxiliary spells.

Furthermore, he had also said that position one required the highest skill level and was often handled by the strongest player in the team.

"I've really liked this character lately... Four damage-type magical treasures, very strong," Zhou Yue said with a smile.

"If you don't want to play position one, you can pick a Specialist or we can run double Wasp Medic."

"How can a man say he can't do it? Let me show you the Weilong I've trained so hard for!"

Zhong Yi immediately felt underestimated and locked in Weilong right away.

The three of them entered the Top Secret Ascension Base laughing and talking.

Their drop point was the Ascension Platform on the far west side of the map.

"No broken bridge! Then we can fight for the Black Hall..."

Zhou Yue took out a dose of Dragon Blood Pulse Stimulation Powder and stabbed it into his chest, then took off his helmet and armor, sprinting quickly toward the bridgehead.

"Lao Zhou, are you always this extravagant?? No wonder you're always telling me you're broke..."

Zhong Yi stared blankly as Zhou Yue injected himself with medicine one shot after another.

A single dose of Dragon Blood Pulse Stimulation Powder was worth nearly 100,000, and adding a Qi Recovery Pill was enough to fund a whole Confidential run for him.

With such consumption, even if they successfully extracted, there wouldn't be much profit...

Besides healing medicine, Zhong Yi was only willing to bring two Qi Recovery Pills to replenish stamina; he really couldn't bear to part with anything else.

Due to the Qi Recovery Pills, Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue had an extra bar of stamina compared to Zhou Qiaoling, and soon the two of them pulled far ahead of her.

"Old Zhong... things really are different since you came along."

Walking up to the garden pool, Zhou Yue took his helmet and armor out of his backpack, put them on, and sighed emotionally.

Zhong Yi paused for a moment: "How so?"

"You don't know, when we were playing with Junior Brother Xiao just now, we either spawned in the prison area or the dormitories... We never even touched the core area at all!!!"

The prison area was a nickname Zhong Yi gave to the three spawn points in the factory area on the east side of the map. For no other reason than spawning there felt like being in jail.

Zhou Yue looked excitedly at the increasingly close core area, his heart surging.

"Core area, here we come!!!"

Zhou Yue roared, slashed through the transparent glass in front of him with his knife, and leaped forward.

With a bang.

Zhou Yue, who was in mid-air, suddenly lost all his health. Like a kite with a broken string, he instantly crashed to the ground.

Zhou Yue froze for a moment.

He was wearing the toughest level six gear in the entire illusion, how could he be instantly one-shotted?

There was only one weapon capable of doing this—

A sniper rifle using level seven red ammo, the Death God!

"Fuck! They have a Death God!! Old Zhong, be careful!!"

Zhou Yue quickly warned.

"How could they be so fast? Spawning at the second staff area, swiping the card, skipping the Ascension Chest, and heading straight to the Black Hall to intercept us? And they also used the Dragon Blood Pulse Stimulation Powder?"

Zhong Yi frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

"Lao Zhou, you really are unlucky... in every possible way!"

"Damn it, I was careless! Sis, come sup... Don't you fucking dare go ditch my gear!!!"

"Oh..."

Caught red-handed, Zhou Qiaoling resentfully made her way back to the Black Hall from under the bridge.

"Let's just forget it... This team has great gear. Old Zhong, give your gun to my sister and let her ditch it."

Zhou Yue remained silent for a while before finally sighing.

"Brother, don't panic just yet."

Zhou Qiaoling acted uncharacteristically and didn't nod in agreement, which made Zhou Yue feel slightly relieved.

"Sis, you..."

"Wait until I loot the water room before I ditch it, it won't be too late."

"..."

"Lao Zhou, how could I leave you behind? Come here, watch my moves!"

What Zhong Yi said was quite touching, but thinking of his aim, Zhou Yue didn't hold much hope.

"Alright, let me see."

Despite his thoughts, Zhou Yue attached his spirit to the Soul Return Bottle on Zhong Yi's waist, observing through Zhong Yi's perspective.

"I've been practicing my aim hard for a long time lately!"

Zhong Yi picked up his Heavenly Soldier Type IV equipped with a 3x scope and peeked his head out.

He happened to see a Red Wolf looting Zhou Yue's box.

Bang bang bang bang!

A burst of sweeping fire, accompanied by the sound of countless shattering glass panes, precisely left a human-shaped outline of bullet holes on the wall.

The Red Wolf, like a frightened bird, hopped and skipped away without a single drop of blood splattering from his body.

"He's super low!"

Zhong Yi yelled out, pretending he did something.

"Low my ass!! Is the glass super low???"

Zhou Yue's mouth twitched.

"Cough, cough... Actually, what I practiced hard wasn't my aim, but my tactical thinking."

Zhong Yi's face reddened as he laughed awkwardly.

Then, he instantly switched to a serious expression.

"Listen carefully... There are footsteps moving away to the back, they're flanking."

"A faint rubbing sound against the wall, someone must be holding an angle on my current position from behind the wall."

"And another one, slide-jumping, getting closer... They're pushing my position!"

The level four auditory helmet Zhong Yi wore quickly analyzed the movements of the three enemies. This impressed Zhou Yue greatly, and for a moment, he actually felt a bit of anticipation.

"In this situation..."

Zhong Yi smiled confidently and pulled out a Crouching Tiger Cannon from his waist.

"The Crouching Tiger suppresses the position, forcing back the line of fire behind the wall... Then it's just me and the Red Wolf one on one!"

"I do a huge jet-boost strafe, breaking the Red Wolf's pre-aimed line of fire... The dead end is revived!"

Zhou Yue couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This analysis...

Was completely correct!

The next second.

"Oops, the Crouching Tiger missed!"

"Fuck!! Jet-boosted into the wall!!"

"Oh no, Junior Sister Zhou hurry up and ditch the gear!!!"

"Damn it, Junior Brother Lu, stop spamming Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin... What Ancestor Jinfan, I really don't know him!!!"

...

...

Less than three minutes into the game.

The three of them returned to the Special Operations Department.

This time, it seemed Zhou Yue's spirit was truly crushed.

When someone puts on full level six gear for a final dance, only to be taken out by a single AW shot, they genuinely suffer a massive mental breakdown.

Zhong Yi glanced at Zhou Yue's assets; only a pitiful 3 million remained...

At this moment, Zhou Yue had a dark expression and remained silent. After a very long time, he finally changed into a set of level three gear.

His gun was also a trashy weapon he usually looked down upon.

At a glance, it was obvious he was just scraping together minimum combat readiness to get in.

"Lao Zhou, how about I bring some gear for you..."

Zhong Yi couldn't bear it and patted Zhou Yue's back.

"No need, let's just leave it at this."

Zhou Yue, his mindset completely shattered, shook his head.

Standing to the side, Zhou Qiaoling watched the two of them intently. After a long moment, as if she had finally made up her mind, the budget knife-runner loadout she had just equipped suddenly transformed into a thick, bulky Tier 6 armor set.

The trash-tier weapon in her hands also morphed into an incredibly badass, heavily modified Celestial Vanguard-14.

"I'll protect you guys this round."

Returning from Cultivation to the City, Bad News: My Cultivation Is Gone

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

The Day I Died, the Whole Sect Watched My Senior Sister Go on a Rampage

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
