Chapter 54: Chapter 41 This is possible?_1
After the giant mecha was broken, the other machines also stopped one by another. At this time, Ogis and Mia walked into the castle, and came to the hall ———— A crystal coffin was placed in the center of the hall, and a girl was lying inside.
“Ah, that’s my body, thank you both.”
Mia was also excitedly clenched her hands, staring at Duanmu Huai and Ogis.
“If it weren’t for your help, I wouldn’t have defeated the wizard, let alone return to my body!”
“Um…that is…your body? How do you plan to return?”
Duanmu Huai asked while vigilantly watching his surroundings, and Mia just smiled slightly.
“Please wait.”
After saying this, Mia stood in front of the crystal coffin, then closed her eyes. Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai once again clenched the War Hammer in his hand, signaling Ogis to be vigilant.
No wonder Duanmu Huai was so cautious. This soul fragment world was too weird.
In short, the content of this fragmented world itself is simple. Mia’s soul was transferred to a puppet by an evil magician, so she asked others to help defeat the magician and reclaim her body.
But the problem is…… Is this enough to sustain a world of souls?
Compared to the puppeteer master and scholar, Mia’s “resentment” is too playful, isn’t it?
Moreover, more importantly, Duanmu Huai fought all the way and didn’t find anything related to magic. So was Mia lying? Or was she simply confused between consciousness transfer and soul sealing? Or is there any other inside story?
Although the final battle was difficult, the whole process was too simple compared to before.
Is there a second phase?
“Click—————”
As Duanmu Huai vigilantly stared ahead, he saw the crystal coffin in front of Mia slowly opening. Then the sleeping girl inside opened her eyes and slowly stood up. She and Mia were basically exactly the same, no different. The Mia in front of her looked towards Duanmu Huai and Ogis, raised her hands and then…
“Bang Bang Bang Bang!!”
Accompanied by the cheerful music, petals suddenly fell down. Meanwhile, Mia’s voice rang out again.
“Congratulations to you both, you are the first players to successfully defeat the White City’s secondary copy!”
“…….. Ha?”
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was taken aback.
“What did you say?”
“Congratulations to both of you for defeating the evil magician and clearing the Sky City secondary copy.”
Mia also came over at this point, beaming at the two of them.
“Sky City, developed by the Multi-dimensional Company, is the latest high-difficulty experience project. Before, thirty-two million two hundred and twenty-one thousand seven hundred and thirty-five players have tried the challenge, but all ended in failure. You two are the first team to successfully clear it, congratulations to you!”
“Uh……”
Facing the giggling Mia at this time, Duanmu Huai was taken aback, even Ogis was blinking in surprise.
“So…….this is a game??”
“Yes, Sky City emphasizes combat intensity, hoping to let players feel the fun in intense battles……”
Fun, you sister! Level 30 monsters, you use it as a game NPC? Isn’t something wrong with the brains of people in this civilization? Or to say, being able to use level 30 robots as NPCs, this civilization must be awesome!
Looking at Mia, Duanmu Huai almost sprayed out a mouthful of old blood. The monsters with an average level of 20 to 30, coupled with a 40-level elite BOSS, was at the standard of the Evil God Cultists’ headquarters, and you use it as an amusement project? By the way, weren’t there any successful players among the tens of millions of people?
“Yes, because this game has strict requirements on player’s level and quantity……”
No wonder then.
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes. His previous doubts were completely dispelled, it is clear that the real reason for the formation of this secondary copy was not Mia’s background, which was just a pure mainline quest plot. It was the resentment of the players who failed to clear sky city… It could be seen how much stimulus the sky city task have given the civilization players back then …
This is also why Mia’s task feels dull and nothing special, just like an FPS game, you just need to know where to kill, who to kill and that’s it, the rest are not important, just fight.
“……Can players die in your game?”
“Of course, since the game was open, a total of fifteen million two hundred and thirty-four thousand one hundred and twenty-two players unfortunately died because they couldn’t clear it …..”
“Okay, I got it.”
Duanmu Huai silently interrupted Mia’s report, this civilization is really quirky, capable of creating such a deadly game world, and not afraid of death… I don’t know which civilization is so awesome.
“So ….. what reward can I get?”
Duanmu Huai looked around, although this fragmented world was not difficult, he also spent a lot, especially the “Shortcut to Death” and “Puppet Surgery” cards were used up, currently, the experience Duanmu Huai collected was not enough to reset them from the graveyard back to the hand. Now he just hoped that this reward could be generous, at least to make up for the loss…
“Of course.”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s question, Mia smiled and nodded, stretching out her hands.
“As a victor, you will get The whole Sky City as a reward!”
“………what!?”
This is lucrative!!!
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was taken aback, and at the same time, the system also popped up the task completion prompt.

[Inflict damage equal to the number of the player’s destroyed creation cards to all enemy Servants]
[Sky City must be on the field]
Among these cards, the best is obviously the [Divine Relic]. Its mass damage is like a divine weapon during large battles. This means Duanmu Huai has to let his creations be destroyed in the early stages of the battle to build up the quantity, then summon this card to the battlefield, and he can wipe out the entire field.
But for now, it seems like [Divine Relic] is an automatic attack system of [Sky City], so for it to be used, Sky City has to be on the field.
[Sky City] is a pretty decent output as well. Now, what Duanmu Huai lacks the most are actually low and mid-tier attack power cards. After all, whether it’s [Puppets] or [Resentful Spirit], their attack and defense stats are both 1, which is really quite low.
They’re fine against enemies in their tens, but any higher and it becomes tough. The reason Duanmu Huai deployed a puppet army this time was because he had too few middle or lower tier cards, the attack was too weak, so he barely compensated by using numbers.
But now, the situation improves. The cards produced by [Sky City], such as the [Demonic Iron Mad Lion] and [Experimental Mechanical Soldier], have an attack and defense of 2 while [Large Mechanical Soldier] has 3. This complements some of the issues.
And compared to resentful spirits, these mechanical soldiers look more normal when taken out, at least he wouldn’t need to worry about being misunderstood as a necromancer.
As for the [Creation] category cards, they remind Duanmu Huai of the entities that were previously floating around Large Mechanical Soldier during the battle. They all have very similar structures—a geometric core surrounded by a frame—then they fly in the sky, shooting laser beams with BUIBUI sounds. These creations include some with high attack power. For example, [Ancient Creations] have 3/1 attack/defense, [Gorgeous Creators] have 4/5, [Guard Creation] has 4/6, and [Divine Creation] has 5/5.
Although they can’t compete with Ogis, the attack power of these creation cards is already enough to make up for most of the deficiencies at present!
But the card Duanmu Huai favored the most was the [Mobile Two-wheeler] —— it’s a magic card that can be summoned at will, and most importantly… it’s a vehicle!
It requires spiritual energy to summon, but… for Duanmu Huai, it’s more than enough already!
Thinking this, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but weep.
Finally, he could say goodbye to riding the 11 bus!
