Chapter 469: Battle Seven Zerg!

At this moment, the audience didn’t have the concept of stars and planets yet. After all, the opening CG was short, and the introduction wasn’t very clear about this idea.
From the CG at the beginning of the game, they understood that a huge spiritual ship above the continent casually destroyed a small spiritual ship.
The colony is probably only a name for some new land discovered by humans. Who knows?
Although this explanation sounded strange, it was easier for them to understand since it was more in line with their concept of the world.
“This game feels... interesting?” Mu Qing said after some consideration.
Lately, the shop had piqued their interest in ‘spiritual artifacts’, which included the unique combat style of using these strange-looking spiritual artifacts.
“But...” Tang Yu said curiously, “Who does that super-powerful spiritual ship at the beginning of the game belong to?”
No one could blame him for dwelling on this thought since the huge light-blocking spiritual ship at the very beginning of the game was too impressive to ignore.
“That’s a battleship of the Protoss.” Mr. Fang returned to the interface where he could select the races and paused his cursor on the golden armor on the right; this race had a completely different appearance from humans. “You can also call this the race of gods.”
“Race of gods?” Tang Yu and other young people were startled. Remembering the destructive force that the ‘spiritual ship’ had shown, they were awe-struck by this race.
Zong Wu and other senior cultivators exchanged a look of surprise and wondered, So powerful?
“It’s like... the race of angels in Diablo,” Mr. Fang explained, “They are different from the gods of your understanding.”
“Oh really...?” Many people nodded and realized what was happening; they were clear now after hearing that explanation.
“It still sounds powerful...” Mu Qing clicked her tongue and pointed at the big screen. “Can we command them too?”
Fang Qi pointed at the words [The Third Episode] on the screen and said, “You can do it after finishing the first and the second episode.”
“We can do that?!”
“Boss! I want to play it too!” Jiang Xiaoyue was the first to enter the game.
“Ugh? Xiaoyue! Wait for me!” Other girls also activated the game.
“I want to play it too!” The big white deer also activated the game.
“This...” Tang Yu and others exchanged a look. “Let’s go and try the game too!”
...
[Sir, how come this gun looks so weird?] Su Tianji sent him a message.
Obviously, she had begun playing the game in the Jiuhua City Shop and had passed the Boot Camp and Officer Training. In the second episode, Wasteland, Main Character Jim Raynor appeared, and the players could choose to play as a single unit.
[Besides, how come the armor is holding the gun instead of me?] She controlled Raynor who wore thick armor, and the armor held a huge gun.
The marines in the original game looked as tiny as a thumbnail, but when converted to the real world, it was clear that the armor was one size bigger than a burly man; it was even bigger than the armor of Paladins in Diablo.
“So strange.” Tang Yu had already put on the combat armor. “The humans are so weak that they need such things to give them power?”
He fired casually and saw flames shooting out from the muzzle. The air before him vibrated slightly, and then the ground shook with a huge and terrifying bullet hole in it! It was a horrifying sight.
In the commander mode, they couldn’t feel the power of these weapons through the screen. But now they had a clear view of it.
The piercing power was horrifying.
“This gun is so powerful!” Tang Yu gasped, knowing that these guns were not in the same category as those in the Matrix and Resident Evil.
Upon closer observation, he even saw electric currents flowing inside.
“What gun is this?!”
Soon, someone @-ed Mr. Fang in the group chat, Mr. Fang’s Tour Group. [Sir, why are the guns in this game different from those we saw before?]
Li Haoran had led the marine squad and ran into a few zerglings, and he fired with the gun in his hand, piercing the shells of the zerglings with each shot. If not for the swiftness of these insects, he could have killed one with two or even one shot.
“Oh that. You can change to the commander mode and read the introduction,” Mr. Fang said calmly.
“C-14 Impaler Gauss Rifle?” Su Tianji turned the gun in her hands and studied it with interest. “What’s this thing? Is it very powerful?”
“I feel like it’s even more powerful than my new handguns with spiritual energy?” Li Haoran said curiously, “Only the fully array-engraved sniper rifle with new armor-piercing bullets could be compared to its power.”
The problem was that there were no engravings of array patterns on this gun.
Gauss was the electromagnetic unit. Fang Qi remembered that this thing had been in its experimental phase on Earth before he traveled through space and time, and its energy was derived from electromagnetic coils.
When strong electric currents passed through the coil, the magnetic force would shoot out the iron magnetic bullets which were so powerful that they could turn a tank into a pile of waste metal.
The most common gauss weapons used magnetic needles which could be shot out noiselessly. In fact, they were more like sneak-attack weapons in use instead of firearms.
The marines in StarCraft used even cheaper items, which was the traditional ammunitions accelerated by gauss force. The supersonic bullets had such power that they could pierce tanks or the armor on the space battleships.
Of course, it was fine to fire at tanks. It was better not to mess with space battleships with these guns if one treasured their life.
The ordinary people needed combat suits to use these guns. The suits could also restock ammunition and help them aim. It was impossible to use the gauss rifles without the combat suits.
These things had reached the limit that the cultivators and artifact masters in this world could understand and potentially study. After all, this world was at a stage even more backward than the world that Mr. Fang had traveled from; there was no way that they could develop even better technology.
It would be better for them to focus on the gameplay.
“Sir.” Whenever a new game was released, many people would bring questions to the shop owner. Su Tianji and Gu Tingyun were among them.
“What’s this Multiplayer Mode? I found that I can directly choose Protoss?” Gu Tingyun was obviously very eager to play Protoss after seeing the super battleship. “What does it mean by adding a computer bot?”
Mr. Fang answered casually, “When no one plays with you, you can play with the computer.”
“Then, I...” He looked around. “I’ll choose Protoss then?”
Then, he looked again. “Battle... with three zerg?”
He added three zerg bots.
“No. With the great power of Protoss, I can battle several zerg!” Having witnessed the great power of Protoss, he thought that he could handle quite a few zerg.
Then, he found that the maximum was seven.
“How come there’s an upper limit?” Reluctant, he clicked on the button, [1 VS 7].
