Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 256: 254: This is What You Call, Killing the Competition!

Winning is, of course, great.

But for this event, which ultimately differs from a competition, if the advantage is too big and the fights become meaningless, causing a significant decrease in the audience, would it be counterproductive?

The key is that when planning, they all thought that once they started establishing bases on a large scale, other player alliances would call on others to come and stop them as soon as they found out.

At that time, fierce battles would take place, resisting the attacks from multiple alliances while building bases frantically. This would not only give them a certain advantage, but also make the battle scenes very exciting and entertaining.

But who would have thought that other player alliances wouldn’t care at all and just went on to play their own games?!

What’s going on?

Should they slow down to avoid leading by too much?

There’s no exclusive communication channel for coaches during this event, so it’s impossible to give instructions from the outside!

Those who didn’t know the inside story were a bit panicked, but it was different in the Cloud Dream Office. “Southwest Metropolitan Area?”

“If I’m not mistaken, isn’t there… ‘

“You’re not mistaken, I guess her goal is exactly that!”

As he watched Camille Victoria’s car team movement, Lincoln straightened up a bit, “You’re kidding me right…”

“Mavis, did Camille Victoria get any clues about this place before?”

“She did!” Mavis nodded. “She got a clue half a month ago, but their team’s combat power wasn’t enough to break through.”

So she took advantage of the competition and brought more than a hundred people to fight?

Impressive! She’s a smart one!

As they were talking, Camille Victoria’s car team had arrived at their destination, and everyone got out with their weapons.

In the unimpressive four-story building in front of them, guns appeared, pointing out of windows without hesitation, and opened fire at them!

Players immediately fought back.

Since these native NPCs attacked them, there’d be no penalty for eliminating them.

Despite being outnumbered and having a disadvantageous position, players had their skills and were all sharpshooters. They could not only dodge bullets but also shoot curved ones.

As long as the numerical and weapon disadvantages weren’t too exaggerated, it was just a matter of time before they advanced.

“Charge!” Camille Victoria led the charge, and other players rushed to protect her.

There was no other way; although Camille Victoria was the organizer of the alliance, and most of the alliance members were her audience and fans, this couldn’t change her gaming level.

Even with the benefits of various in-game skills, she still couldn’t become an expert.

Without help from her teammates, she would die in such fierce battles in a matter of minutes!

At the beginning of the car team’s charge into the inner circle, everyone stopped her from getting in the car at the front.

Otherwise, the sniper fire from those natives would have eliminated her, the “leader,” right out of the circuit.

—The bullets rained down so densely that the players at the forefront were finished off the moment they were at the brink of death.

There wasn’t a chance for rescue.

Luckily, everyone now had more weapons and a greater number of people. Under their comrades’ cover, they successfully rushed in.

After entering the building, the battle became much easier. With [Assassin Bloodline], [Shooting Specialization], and [Arc Shooting], they had a significant advantage in indoor environments.

However, after breaking in, they didn’t go upstairs to eliminate the gangs. Instead, they followed Camille Victoria’s lead and went down, even five floors down!

Charging through layers of snipers and traps, casualties were inevitable. But with the near-death protection mechanism, only about ten players were eliminated.

In the end, everyone rushed into an underground space that was more than twice as large and twice as high as the building above. There, they saw— Eight massive containers of weapons and ammunition!

And right in the middle of it all was a— Leopard 2 main battle tank!

“Holy shit! A tank!”

The players who entered the room and Commentator Ren Jian, sitting in the commentators’ booth, both exclaimed in shock!

The next moment, Ren Jian immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, I got too excited.”

But no one cared because all the spectators watching the live stream were also exclaiming “holy shit!”

The comments were even filled with inappropriate language.

Not using dirty words was simply not enough to express their feelings at that moment.

Unbelievable! There was actually a tank in Metropolis!

And it wasn’t in the hands of the Metropolis Police, who were widely acknowledged to have “unlimited firepower”, but in the hands of a gang! “I think I just heard someone say, ‘Kill the game?”‘

“Kill the fart! This is what deserves to be called – killing the game!!!”

“[Surprise! Unexpected!]”

“Translate, translate, what the hell is called ‘surprise’!”

“What walls, what bases, what defenses, they’re all fucking targets, okay!”

“This is a fucking tank! Tank! Tank!”

The players who rushed in were incoherent with excitement.

They directly ignored the weapons and ammunition in several containers and the armor pieces, crowding in front of the tank and feeling it with their hands.

“Does anyone know how to drive a tank?” Camille Victoria climbed on the tank and shouted at everyone.

She felt proud. Her “Avengers Squad” had crushed the gang that ambushed them, and then they got a clue:

One of the sources of arms trade in Metropolis – there’s a tank in the warehouse!

Almost immediately, they set their sights on the tank.

In her team, the reliable uncle had driven a tank in reality and claimed that he could drive a tank in the game as long as it wasn’t too outrageous.

But they failed several times and didn’t burst in.

In the end, Camille Victoria simply took advantage of the competition to launch a human wave tactic.

Now that their goal is successfully achieved, they are naturally elated and began to recruit tank drivers!

As Camille Victoria’s voice fell, several arms were eagerly raised.

“Me, me, me!” “Me, yeah me!”

“I can, I can!”

Camille Victoria had a black line on her head; she didn’t believe that so many people were retired tank drivers!

What a coincidence!

These people obviously didn’t want to miss the opportunity and wanted to enter the tank first to enjoy it.

“Be serious, friends! We’re still in the competition!”

After Camille Victoria’s heartfelt words, the sensible comrades finally reined in their eager hearts.

But it has to be said that there are really many talents among the players, and they actually pulled out two people who had driven tanks!

—At least they all swore that they had driven them.

But once they entered the tank, they found it was totally unnecessary.

This tank has been greatly simplified.

Many electronic devices used for digital combat inside have been directly removed.

Aiming the cannon became almost as simple as “what you see is what you get,” the controls were simplified, and the shells even had an automatic loading device.

Even people who have never driven a tank can start it and use it for battle after exploring for a while.

Lincoln, following with Henry, can indeed bring out a fully-functional Daxia Active Main Battle Tank without any discount.

The problem is, unless he’s crazy, he wouldn’t do such an absurd thing.

Even bringing out the Leopard 2 main battle tank, which is well-known by major powers around the world, he simplified a bunch of things.

After all, the things in the game are made for every player to play with.

Now, any three players can easily start the tank, one driving, one controlling the cannon, and one controlling the machine gun.

Even after seating these three people, there’s still plenty of space inside for two more passengers.

As the “leader” of the Blue Army and the main initiator of the plan, everyone’s mascot, Camille Victoria was the first one to be stuffed into the tank.

Camille Victoria’s ecstatic as she crawled in, but said, “Well, then I’ll reluctantly serve as the vehicle commander and director!”

The last passenger seat was fiercely contested with a game of rock-paper-scissors before finally being selected.

“Great, we’re invincible now! Charge, charge, charge!”

The diesel engine started, the engine roared, and the tracks turned!

The tank brought with it a cloud of smoke and dust, rushed out of the hidden underground passage, broke through the railings and charged onto the big road!

A team of fully armed players followed closely behind!

“The real battle begins!”
