Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 571 - 384: Making a Friend, Emergency Measures

However, unfortunately, this person encountered him, targeted by the power of his projected Blade of Time. This epic-level weapon possesses the characteristic of damage that cannot be completely defended against, with a base damage of 60%, which is why the individual’s defense appeared weak, completely suppressed unilaterally.

"Super Heavy Energy Storm!"

Suddenly, Zhong Wei, who was cut all over and bleeding from blade light, judged that he couldn’t continue dying slowly like this. So he exerted all his strength, while maintaining defense, and launched an ultra-wide-range, high-intensity attack, covering the entire square space!

For a moment, Wang Zhifan, located on the top floor, saw that centered around Zhong Wei, there were visible shockwave-like ripples all around him. These were not just air waves, but super strong gravity waves, with destructive power many times greater and extremely difficult to defend against!

The square, already damaged once, suddenly seemed to suffer an attack from a super nuclear bomb without the heat. The ground shattered into nothingness, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed from a ravaged flatland into a massive pit, tens of meters deep and covering thousands of square meters, demonstrating the immense destructive power and wide attack range, intended to leave the enemy with no space to dodge, forcing a kill.

Yet, when Zhong Wei, who had consumed large amounts of energy, looked closely, he realized his enemy wasn’t dead. More precisely, the opponent wasn’t even injured, merely paused mid-air.

"How is this possible?! Why is he still unharmed?"

At this moment, Zhong Wei was completely shocked. Based on his past experiences, nobody in this world could withstand such a move directly. At best, they could evade out of the damage range with super speed, but this was a closed environment. Even though the environmental area was relatively large, there was no reason for the opponent to survive under his deliberate wide-range strike.

But the reality was right in front of him. The enemy still stood before him, above the large pit, looking no different in appearance or aura.

"Sir, it seems I’ve lost. If you don’t mind, we could become friends. I may come here for a rematch in the future."

With such a result, Zhong Wei, covered in bloody streaks on his white coat and greatly depleted of energy, opened his mouth to concede. He said so because he saw that his incredibly powerful opponent hadn’t continued to attack, as if there was a possibility of easing hostilities.

At the same time, at the top of the black tower, Wang Zhifan, hearing the local’s admission of defeat, also hesitated a bit.

"What a formidable being. His attack almost broke the spatial defense ability I projected to my avatar just now. Given time, he will certainly grow to a more terrifying level... So should I kill him here?"

Wang Zhifan was contemplating whether eliminating this powerful native was beneficial, as the opponent’s current strength was already very formidable. It nearly broke the spatial defense ability of the Blank Winding Belt I projected to my avatar. It was hard to say if letting him go may lead to revenge after a month of growth. Conversely, from another perspective, if he directly killed this definitely unusual NPC, would it provoke the hatred of stronger figures behind him?

These things couldn’t be judged for the moment, due to the lack of sufficient information. Wang Zhifan also didn’t understand this person’s character, making any action risky.

"Give me a reason to let you go."

Unable to make a judgment in the short term, he controlled his avatar to ask a question. This was also the first time he responded to the native’s words.

"Heh, does sir want to hear words of begging?"

Zhong Wei chuckled at the response from the illusory figure in front of him.

"Although I admire your strength, it doesn’t mean I’ve lost the power to continue fighting. If you don’t want me to leave, I’m willing to fight till the end."

He responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, saying he was conceding, not intending to wait humbly for death. If a fight was unavoidable, he would do everything to make his opponent pay a price.

This statement was rooted in the fact that the avatar controlled by Wang Zhifan had not attacked, leading Zhong Wei to believe that he, too, must have suffered considerable loss, having reservations about continuing this battle. Otherwise, he would have charged forward to fight rather than waste words.

"If you must have me give a reason, my previous point still stands. I am willing to become friends, making you an esteemed guest of the Life Line Organization, to enjoy resources and supply inaccessible to outsiders..."

Zhong Wei, covered in blood stains, added, briefly mentioning the benefits of gaining his friendship.

"Become friends? Heh, first tell me your true purpose for bringing people here!"

Wang Zhifan didn’t immediately respond to the native’s words but asked another question, one he still didn’t understand. What exactly was the grudge between these natives and those players, enough to track them all the way to this desert?

Zhong Wei quickly gave a reply:

"Our Life Line came here, simply wanting to understand all aspects of your outsiders. Capturing samples for comprehensive, in-depth research is a common method of information acquisition. But your appearance made me realize, there are those among you equal to us, perhaps simple, violent methods are no longer applicable, and more equal communication is the most stable solution."

His words were direct, the first part stating that from our organization’s perspective, you players are merely experimental samples. The second part noted that you are too strong, our organization feels threatened and wants to communicate with you peacefully.

"Life Line... it’s likely the main opposing force players face in the current instance."

Hearing this, Wang Zhifan roughly understood the fundamental conflict in this survival instance, sensing an invaluable opportunity to reduce the survival obstacles in this instance, namely seizing the chance to eliminate Life Line.

However, he wasn’t content with only killing one expert. It’s best to take this opportunity to understand the opposing force thoroughly and eliminate it completely. So an idea formed in his mind, and he replied:

"Alright, you can leave. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation with your organization in the future."

After speaking, Wang Zhifan controlled his avatar to disappear quickly and reopened the previously closed exit of the high tower space, allowing the blood-covered Zhong Wei to float out of the location using gravity control and reach the desert outside the bronze gate.

But what Zhong Wei didn’t know was that during this period, Wang Zhifan marked him with a special mark using the power of the Blade of Time.

Originally, this special mark was for use in conjunction with the Retrospection Skill, but with Wang Zhifan’s perception becoming increasingly frightening, it now also has another special meaning: to help Wang Zhifan determine a target’s specific location. After all, the Blade of Time’s mark, proven through practical combat, cannot be detected by others, nor easily removed, boasting high concealment.

This way, Wang Zhifan can rely on this mark to conduct secret tracking, gaining more intelligence about the Life Line Organization, and additionally, it serves as a crucial aid when acting against it later on, such as confirming its route and lying in wait at a point it passes by, suddenly initiating Retrospection to bring it back and finish it off, saving time and effort.

At the same time, in a large underground base far from the desert, two leaders of the Life Line Organization — a hook-nosed middle-aged man and an old man with silver hair — were watching high-definition footage captured by satellite on a large screen.

At the sight of Zhong Wei, covered in blood, coming out of the black tower alone, their expressions were immediately shaken.

"That tower indeed holds secrets! How could Zhong Wei be beaten this way? We must take emergency measures!"

"Yes! That tower remains unharmed, Zhong Wei must have suffered a huge loss inside! We should execute the plan and seize the chance to eliminate all potential threats!"

The two leaders, with ulterior motives, quickly reached a consensus and immediately began directing the related actions.
