San Tian Liang Jue
Chapter 368 Toy War (15)
“What do you want?” the Prophet interrupted directly.
“Let you lend me your army…” Feng Bujue said.
“Hmm?” The Prophet conveyed his indignation fully with just this one interjection.
“…That’s impossible.” Feng Bujue continued the first half of his sentence and managed to bring the statement back around, “After all, we only have two objectives; there's no need to mobilize so many people.”
“Hmm…” The Prophet conveyed this time with the same word… that’s more like it.
“How about this…” Feng Bujue continued, “How about sending us a box of LEGO bricks?”
“What are you going to do?” the Prophet asked.
“Of course, to create a vehicle that can help us find and approach our target…” Feng Bujue said with a gloomy expression, “Amongst a million soldiers, to take the enemy general’s…”
“Understood.” The Prophet interrupted again, “I will issue this order in my capacity as the LEGO Prophet, and your operation will be defined as ‘This Prophet’s official response to novel’s theft of LEGO resources’.”
Xiao Tan interjected, “But we are still nominally with Classic; is it okay to carry out a mission for LEGO?”
“We'll be permanently missing after tonight, what are you still considering?” Feng Bujue replied for the Prophet, as he once again looked up at the rhombus, “Then… it’s settled.”
…
At exactly two o’clock in the morning, two night watchmen set off from the security room on schedule.
Just as the Prophet had said, the guards were only puppets controlled by him; “they” had no thoughts of their own. As long as it was the appointed time, they would come out of the security room, turn on their flashlights, and split up to patrol. The entire process would take exactly fifteen minutes. After the patrol was completed, they would return to the security room and lock the door from the inside again.
During this time, the toys would never come out to play; they had already turned off all the lights in advance and hid at the bottom of the shelves or in some blind spots, waiting for the patrol to end.
However, Siyu and Bei Ling, as players, had no such concerns. For them, it was even more convenient to move around during this period.
The moment the clock struck two, they set off from novel’s occupied area. Two light and nimble figures leaped and moved forward above the shelves, quickly approaching the LEGO house. All the nearby sentries were rendered useless at this moment; they didn't have to worry about being attacked at all, and Classic couldn't possibly discover their whereabouts and respond.
“Sigh… in the end, we still abandoned the side quest…” Bei Ling muttered on the way, “However, is it really okay not to bring the Praetorian Guard? Without relying on script resources at all, we can’t beat the team leader, right?”
Siyu seemed very calm: “There’s no way around it… The other toys are determined not to move during the security guards’ patrol. If we want to bring the Praetorian Guard, we have to wait until the patrol is over before we can set off. But LEGO has already taken precautionary measures against novel, so the only time we can approach smoothly is now.”
“Big Sis… why do I feel like you’re deliberately trying to lose…” Bei Ling couldn’t help but say what was on her mind.
“Since it’s an intra-team practice battle, victory or defeat doesn't matter anyway.” Siyu replied, slightly turning her head to look at Bei Ling, “Besides… with Bujue’s intelligence, he would have seen through the initial intention of your suggestion and told Xiao Tan about it, right?”
“Ah? Wh…what initial intention? I don't understand.” Bei Ling hurriedly began to play dumb.
“Don’t worry, since the main purpose of this battle is to allow Xiao Tan to accumulate more experience in fighting against players, I will naturally be mindful when I take action.” Siyu continued, completely ignoring the other party's denial, “As a melee-focused fighting specialization player, Xiao Tan’s current strength is only slightly above average. If I go all out, he will definitely die within ten moves.” She confidently analyzed, “Bujue should also be very clear about this. He won’t let this happen, so he will attack me fiercely from the beginning, leaving me no time to think about anything else.”
“Uh… I’m also a sniper, right? I can one-shot people, okay? You guys are ignoring me…” Bei Ling replied.
“Although your skills and the power of your sniper rifle can indeed have some impact on the Embrace of Artemis, it is, after all, a perfect-grade equipment specifically designed to counter ranged attacks.” Siyu explained, “Unless you also have a perfect-grade shooting weapon, the possibility of one-shotting him, even if he stands there and lets you aim, is extremely low. And for a guy like Bujue, if you can’t kill him with one shot, it will be difficult to capture the opportunity to snipe him again.”
“Hmm…” Bei Ling thought for a few seconds, “What I mean is, doesn’t the team leader have to guard against me sniping Xiao Tan?”
“He knows you won’t snipe Xiao Tan.” Siyu replied.
“What does that mean!” Bei Ling was inexplicably annoyed.
“I also know that you won’t snipe Xiao Tan.” Siyu added.
“Big Sis, you’re bullying me…”
“Because this is a practice battle, one-shotting him would be meaningless.” Siyu said.
“Hmm?” Bei Ling was stunned for a moment, “Ah… right! Right, right, right! This is to train him!” She snickered and went along with it, “Watch this lady shoot him full of holes!”
…
“Achoo!” Xiao Tan’s sneeze made… his whole body jump up slightly, “What’s going on… is Xiao Ling cursing me behind my back again…”
“Not only did you use a familiar tone, but you also named the other party…” Feng Bujue’s retort was equally sharp.
At this time, the two of them were standing in a corner of LEGO City, waiting for Musashi Koganei to assemble the vehicle.
This was the second time Feng Bujue had summoned this guy; the first time was in South Park. Before leaving the sandbox, in order not to waste the skill cooldown, Brother Jue had also used this summoning skill once and had some communication with this summoned character.
Musashi Koganei’s appearance was generally that of an elementary school student in a gag manga. His head was shaped like an inverted triangle, with a very pointed chin and a long face. He wore a pair of glasses that covered half of his face; his upper body was a yellow short-sleeved T-shirt, and his lower body was purple shorts, with two red suspenders. He wore a pair of conspicuous red socks on his feet, and a bow tie with a green background and many purple polka dots was pinned to his collar…
His first appearance in the original work was… when the teacher asked him to write his name in kanji, he stood up very imposingly and replied: “I, Musashi Koganei, am a strange third-grade elementary school student who cannot write kanji with more than six strokes.”
But in reality… he was a genius. His answer was just to make the teacher and classmates cast contemptuous, disdainful, cold, and discriminatory gazes at him… to make others think he was a weirdo (pervert).
According to Musashi Koganei’s analysis and research – 99% of the great men in history were regarded as weirdos in their childhood and student days. Because Musashi Koganei wanted to become a great man, he decided to become a weirdo first.
Driven by this divine logic, Musashi Koganei firmly embarked on the path of a weirdo. He would naturally raise his hands in front of him when walking or standing, posing in a snake fist-like stance. He spoke in a strange tone, and occasionally let out a “hiss hiss hiss hiss” of a treacherous laugh. When he successfully made a strange behavior and was glared at and watched by others, he would feel very happy, and sometimes his body would spin at high speed like a wheel…
Mr. Toriyama Akira once designed a game in the sixth volume of Dr. Slump that divided perverts into five stages. They were… Sour Plum Superman stage: Poke the person next to you in the butt with your brave index finger; Forest King Bashan stage: Open the window and shout “Ah!” three times; North Bibi Ice Man stage: Jump and shout “Poop, poop”; Master Doctor stage: Shout “Combine” and then drill into someone’s arms; Nico-chan Daioh stage: Stuff peanuts into your nose and then spray them out. If you do all five things, you are an “unadulterated” pervert.
Based on this standard… Musashi Koganei was already insane and beyond saving.
In short… this was a very painful summoning character. Its summoning condition: “Make a weird move” was quite unique. Not to mention that he could hardly help in battle, and his combat power was infinitely close to zero.
However, he was by no means useless; on the contrary, he might be more useful than any other F-grade summon. Because Musashi Koganei could “build things.”
Of course, his invention and manufacturing abilities were far inferior to those of Senbei Norimaki (i.e., Dr. Slump) and the Three-Eyed One; but compared to those “scientific” normal-oriented virtual characters, the things Musashi Koganei created were very sharp.
“Hahaha! Completed!” After twenty minutes of assembly, Musashi Koganei successfully created a bizarre-looking mech with LEGO bricks and cheerfully announced, “This is! The LEGO Pufferfish Gladiator!”
“This is the most disgusting robot I’ve ever seen…” Feng Bujue said, “It’s like the crooked, upright creatures that those newbies make when playing Spore…”
“Uh… actually, before you told me that the spine of a creature could be adjusted, I had been making those kinds of…” Brother Jue’s words seemed to evoke some strange memories in Xiao Tan.
“Haha! You must think it’s very strange that I made something like this! Hiss hiss hiss hiss…” Musashi Koganei spun vertically like a long snake in excitement, “My pervert index has risen again! Hehehe…”
“Hey… that kind of index only exists in your imagination and it’s completely useless, right!” Xiao Tan was seeing this freakish bear child's behavior for the first time, and undoubtedly, he was shocked.
Who knew, as soon as Xiao Tan finished speaking, Musashi Koganei turned into white light and disappeared.
“Eh? What’s going on? Does he also know stealth?” Xiao Tan asked doubtfully.
“It’s just that his time is up.” Feng Bujue replied, pointing to his knee, “Actually, he should have disappeared four minutes ago. Presumably, it’s the effect of the Implanted Alchemy Amplification Device that extended his time of existence.” He stroked his chin and said, “Theoretically speaking, the effect of this ‘slightly increases the effect of summoning skills’ should not only be reflected in the time. Maybe Koganei’s invention ability or combat power have also been enhanced to a certain extent, but this enhancement cannot be directly seen.”
“No, I think the increase in his perversion level is already very directly displayed in front of me.” Xiao Tan replied.
Feng Bujue smiled and said, “Alright, let’s get back to the main topic. Although we now have a robot vehicle similar to Gundam, it is still very difficult to find Siyu and Bei Ling in novel’s formation. We still can’t determine their positions and tasks in novel, and we can’t even be 100% sure that they are in novel’s formation. So…”
“They’re already coming here.” Suddenly, another voice rang out from behind the two, joining the conversation.
The two players turned their heads and saw a LEGO toy. Its image was that of a bald elder wearing a suit and sitting in a wheelchair.
