Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 540 - 369: Scattering and Searching

The powerful esper’s move instantly brought immense pressure, prompting all the players present to use emergency measures and flee.

Except for the shooter from Xia Country who used a precious random teleportation scroll, his partner, the Assassin, also vanished in an instant, seemingly returning to a stealth state.

The scrawny white Mage and the white female Warrior used an even more advanced escape technique. In the blink of an eye, the two of them went from normal status to extremely flat, as if transforming from three-dimensional beings into two-dimensional paper. Then the paper slipped out of the enemy’s gravity control and disappeared into the ground, undoubtedly using some kind of exotic item or skill.

The foreign summoner player, a bit further away from the four of them, similarly used an emergency escape ability. He was originally hidden underground and, sensing a formidable threat, quickly used some reverse summoning before summoning a semi-transparent worm. The worm swallowed him in one gulp and quickly carried him through a mysterious light door that flashed in mid-air, disappearing without a trace.

This kind of response reflected a fundamental consensus among these players: if battling a BOSS doesn’t drop loot, they’re not interested in showing off or taking risk. After all, nobody wants to do something with no benefit. At least in skirmishes with other players, there might be a chance for equipment rewards. But battling to exhaustion with a dungeon BOSS serves no purpose, only putting oneself at risk of dying in vain.

All these actions by the players happened within a very short time, and each move was exceptionally smooth and fluid, showcasing the solid skills honed by high-level players in constant battles. Yet the indigenous BOSS, the bespectacled man in the white lab coat, wasn’t surprised at all. Instead, he appeared as if he had anticipated it long ago, a faintly disdainful smile on his face.

"These outsiders are really adept at various strange abilities. Perhaps they have long mastered special means of acquiring exotic abilities, able to break the limit of having only one or two at most... Fortunately, I have already arranged everything to ensure they have no place to escape."

Thinking deeply, the more he analyzed these outsiders’ peculiarities, the stronger his desire to research this group became. He then began directing the standby teams around him via earpiece to start the search.

"Mecha Team One, you are responsible for starting the search from the north... Mecha Team Two, you handle the east... Mecha Team Three..."

Just as the young, powerful esper in glasses and a white lab coat was giving out orders, an unexpected change occurred!

A nearly undetectable sharp arc suddenly appeared on the side of his neck, cutting towards his throat without hesitation! If this strike landed, it was foreseeable that this powerful existence, even if not falling on the spot, would be severely injured!

But faced with such a sudden change, the bespectacled young man in the white coat showed no signs of panic. He just stood there without dodging at all, letting the suddenly appeared hidden sharpness strike at his throat. It was firmly blocked by a barely perceptible metallic coating that seemed to appear out of thin air; his neck became metallic in an instant!

"Ha! You think I’m the type that can be killed just by an ambush? Stay here!"

The indigenous BOSS easily defused the sudden crisis, then fully activated his esper power, causing the land within tens of meters around him to sink as if an invisible heavy stone had slammed onto it. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Unfortunately, this action, apart from changing the terrain around, didn’t cause any other reaction. In other words, the expected ambusher’s figure didn’t appear, and there’s no doubt that the opponent completely fled after the ambush failed.

"The one who ambushed me was probably that invisible outsider... To think he possesses such sophisticated means, able to break free from my gravity field influence, and make it difficult for me to detect after getting close... Outsiders really are a fascinating group!"

After the incident, not only did the young man in glasses and a white lab coat feel no fear in retrospect, but the more he thought about it, the more excited he got. It further enhanced his interest in the player group, proving that he very much suits his researcher attire, a veritable research maniac!

And after this little storm experienced by the dungeon BOSS, the turmoil faced by the players was just beginning.

Because the major search targeting them had begun, and it wasn’t just a simple search but a high-tech, carpet-type search!

All around the large town, within a hundred kilometers—excluding the desert parts—heavy helicopters’ propellers thundered through the sky, sealing the boundaries in all directions. Apart from helicopter pilots, each helicopter carried combat personnel fully concealed in high-tech armor: Mecha Warriors!

This is an elite group with formidable combat strength, both solo and in teams; a superior existence that ordinary people in this world dream of joining. But now, nearly two hundred of them appeared at once, all to assist in searching for the escaped players, which shows the high status of that spectacled BOSS in the white lab coat.

Under the surveillance of so many high-tech professionals, the players who had just fled were quickly located. After all, they had only escaped the vicinity of the spectacled BOSS without reaching the ends of the earth, which was beyond their current capability.

Even though they were at the top tier among Earth Star players, they found themselves somewhat powerless against the pressure of this advanced dungeon.
