Chapter 397: Chapter 127: Operation Exploding Poop_3
There were even many players from the plumbing profession cooperating with the bombshell, planning the assault route.
It’s not like other players didn’t propose their battle plans; they posted on the official site for a vote on operations, and their plans might not be less feasible than Potato’s, maybe even more professional.
But Potato’s plan just had way more votes than anyone else’s.
Because damn it, it was just too entertaining.
The pipe-shaped explosive the big guys are using now is actually the Bangalore torpedo, also known as the demolition tube. It’s a seamless stainless steel pipe stuffed with explosives and fitted with a pull ring fuse, used in World War I and II to blow up barbed wire. Jianxue crafted it to replace industrial explosives for blasting hardened fecal mountains.
Potato wasn’t angry being called the shit-exploding fanatic; instead, he comforted, "Think positively. At least this time, it’s not your toilet getting blown up, so the shit won’t flow into your house."
The big guy imagined the scene and shivered for a moment, "True that."
To execute this plan, players had been secretly transporting sandbags into the sewers these days to block off branch pipe entrances.
Under normal circumstances, their actions would have been discovered by the Haitian residential area’s people soon and then reported to Brigitte, with a great chance of being compromised.
But the Medical Department players’ free clinics in the Haitian residential area almost completely drew all the Haitians’ and the Voodoo Gang’s attention, so they didn’t notice this group of rats secretly moving and nesting underground.
There are seven fecal mountains to be blasted, with eight groups of players each responsible for different areas. When the time is right, they will recreate the spectacular scene of Guan Yu flooding Fan City during ancient times in Night City, and then attack the Voodoo Gang’s tunnel strongholds together.
Wildman: "Group one ready, can detonate at any time."
Brother Dao: "Group two is ready too."
Sword Saint: "Group three has completed installation."
Tutu: "Group four is OK."
...
Expert: "Sigh... group six is ready."
Truth Department: "Group seven ready, Super Earth can perform orbital bombardment anytime!"
As the explosives were buried at the different target locations, the bombshell, who stood just a wall away from the Voodoo Gang’s stronghold, closed his eyes and said,
"Is it too late for me to quit now?"
There was a quiver in his voice, regretting why he agreed to Potato’s absurd to-the-max plan.
And agreeing was one thing, but despite initially saying he wouldn’t go down, he couldn’t hold his face when he saw so many people agreeing to go, so he bit the bullet and tagged along.
"Sorry, it’s too late."
The Mongolian Toplaner who finished installing the explosives turned around with a grin and comforted him,
"But don’t worry, your achievements will be forever remembered by all players on the forum."
The bombshell’s smile was uglier than crying, "You might as well remember something else; this is putting me on the humiliation pillar, for sure."
All the players will remember that he contributed the most to this shit-explosion attack plan.
This is nothing short of a social death.
Seeing all player groups report their preparations were complete on screen, Lin Miao issued the mission task accordingly
[Task Name: Witch Hunting Operation]
[Task Introduction: Those crazy hackers on the Super Earth maintain absolute control over the Haitian people’s masses on Taiping Continent, killing our compatriots, detaining our friends, and we are to rescue the Haitians from their hands, and avenge our fallen comrades!]
[Task Objective: Conquer the Voodoo Gang’s two main strongholds (Overpass) (Subway Station), PS: As attacking the Subway Station stronghold might involve cyberspace combat, please carry your Dream Band]
[Task Rewards: 2000 euros baseline event reward, each group’s additional reward based on duties ranges from 1000-3000 euros, while accumulating contribution points for the whole battle. Players entering cyberspace combat have fixed 500 contribution points, and all players can participate]
The players on the Taiping Continent frontline received this task, as did the newbie players operating near Stone Ridge Mountain, though the task description differed slightly, focusing on supporting players within the city for cyberspace combat.
Lin Miao didn’t restrict players with lower intelligence stats from joining cyberspace combat; anyone who wanted to could play.
And although the cyberspace combat reward isn’t as much as real-world combat, 500 points is still a decent income for newbie players, approximately over 3000 euros, which highly motivates those non-combat and newbie players who aren’t strong enough to join the battlefield to contribute from the rear.
The player [Gulu Gulu], still scavenging for materials at the trash mountain, frowned upon seeing this task and scratched their head, "Little Teacher... what do we do if we can’t afford a Dream Band?"
A Dream Band costs one to two thousand euros, and newbie players wouldn’t want to spend several days’ worth of savings on something with no stat or aesthetics bonuses.
"Hmph~ Then rent it, isn’t it? There are over a hundred in the cyber cafe lobby, we can afford dozens of euros, Little Teacher has been working hard collecting trash."
[Gulu Gulu] froze, only hearing the voice but seeing no one, looked around but found no one
"Little Teacher, where are you speaking from?"
"In front of you! Big Boob Monster!"
Upon hearing this, [Gulu Gulu] hurriedly stepped back, finally seeing [Little Little Teacher] blocked by their broad bosom, angrily staring at her
"One day I will remove those two hindering lumps of fat!"
[Gulu Gulu] felt a little wronged, "I didn’t want this either... who knew it’d be even more exaggerated in-game than in reality..."
Breaking down, [Little Little Teacher] roared: "You’re still talking! I’ll kill you, you Big Boob Monster!!!"
