PFRG: Chapter 166

“Looking at the records, I think I met a designer before?”

Chi Ting subconsciously leaned closer to Lou Yueren when he asked this question. This action of shortening the distance made Lou Yueren very happy. He immediately smiled and leaned over to reply, “Yes, we have seen it. However, the designer we met at that time was quite an idiot, and… I feel that the situation should be a bit different from now.”

The two of them didn’t deliberately conceal their conversation. No 3 listened to every word without missing anything. She didn’t show any annoyance at this obvious neglect. Instead, she glanced at Lou Yueren with some approval. “You are indeed very perceptive.”

Lou Yueren withdrew his attention from Chi Ting and looked over. “You really do know me.”

“In fact, I can’t say I know you. But I believe it is hard for anyone not to know the name Lou Yueren, including us designers.” No 3 elegantly picked up the cup and took a sip, her expression revealing strong curiosity. “I do regret not being able to meet you at that time. After all, you are the only player who has had the opportunity to stand in front of us so far.”

Lou Yueren smiled noncommittally. “Thank you for the compliment, but I feel that I should’ve seen you before.”

“Really?” A hint of surprise flashed across No 3’s eyes, but she quickly blinked harmlessly. “Let’s talk about the past later. As the operator of this restaurant, what you need to consider right now is how to serve me, your distinguished guest.”

She tapped her fingers lightly, and a menu appeared on the table out of thin air. She gently pushed it in front of everyone and said, “Please prepare a luxurious and perfect birthday dinner for me. You have around an hour and a half to prepare. I am looking forward to the results of your preparations.”

Hua Qianmei took the menu and glanced at it. Then she turned back to look at the counter. “Lu Nanling, what is going on now…”

Lu Nanling, who was behind the counter, quickly checked the display on the computer screen and frowned slightly. “Today’s menu has been forcibly replaced.”

Lou Yueren sneered when he heard this. “It seems a bit bad for minors to play this mandatory game on the last day of the instance.”

“There aren’t so many restrictions here. In addition, calculating it by your time, I should’ve become an adult a long time ago,” No 3 answered innocently. She noticed the gazes of the Dawn team members around her and smiled in a very friendly manner. “By the way, I would like to remind you that I am different from No 4, whom you met before. I’m not stupid enough to allow myself to fall into danger in the instance I designed. What is appearing in front of you now is just a projection of me. It is impossible to get rid of me using the method you used in the past. If you want to leave here smoothly, your only choice is to follow the rules of the game that I have set.”

Chi Ting didn’t mind the result of her being multiple copies. After all, they were said to be competing with other teams for the top eight rankings. As the designer of the instance, No 3 couldn’t possibly allow her main body to appear in so many instances at the same time. It was just a bit regrettable that the ultimate problem couldn’t be solved by the proposer of the problem.

A solution route was cut off, and Chi Ting didn’t continue to be greedy. He turned around and looked at the six ‘Dawn team members’ who had entered earlier.

He slowly untied the beads from his wrist one by one. Before he officially started to act, he didn’t forget to confirm his speculation with Lou Yueren. “So in this situation, it seems that the only solution is to use force, right?”

“Indeed.” Lou Yueren also did some warm-up movements as he looked over. Finally, his eyes became imperceptibly deeper when they landed on ‘Chi Ting’ opposite him.

Compared to the four people who currently had no memories of their previous lives, he and Hua Qianmei were more aware of the changes they encountered along the way.

If he guessed correctly, the situation they were facing was probably much more difficult than the other instances next door. After all, the ‘six people’ standing in front of them were transformed from the acquired memories. This meant that the higher the daily sales, the higher the degree of transformation. Among the ‘people’ standing in front of them, apart from him and Hua Qianmei, who were relatively rough, the other four people standing there were already good enough to be indistinguishable from the real thing.

Of course, appearance was secondary. The key was the actual strength.

In some ways, this situation could be considered as—Dawn vs Dawn.

“The final game officially begins from now on,” No 3’s leisurely voice became the final signal.

“So, this fight is inevitable…” Lou Yueren sighed softly. His eyes were lowered, but the corners of his mouth were raised in an increasingly wanton arc. “If that is the case, I really won’t be polite.”

The moment countless shadows shot out from his feet, under the dazzling holy light, two protective fields were simultaneously spread out from two different directions.

Song Xuefeng reacted almost instinctively. He noticed that the NPC opposite him was doing the same thing and uttered a low ‘huh.’

Lou Yueren knew the source of these realms, but his expression didn’t fluctuate at all.

His gaze was fixed on the man opposite him, who had black hair and black clothes, and his eyes were cold.

It would be fine if it was just a half-finished product, but the instance made him look miserable.

He was so ugly. He would be the first to be humanely destroyed.

The tenacious shadow blades pierced through the barrier in front of it with its sharpness.

The shadows rising in all directions clashed with each other in an instant under the control of their masters. Due to their overwhelming strength, they were able to cut things into thousands of pieces in a few seconds.

The shadow blades that stood up like thorny vines were unstoppable. They intertwined at the top of the restaurant to form a guillotine that could drop at any time.

“Let’s get going.”

With a chuckle, the black guillotine fell. There was a clear cutting sound, and the NPC wearing the same clothes as Lou Yueren was instantly beheaded.

Blood splattered on his clothes, but it only made the corners of his mouth curl up a bit more happily. “So, next one?”

In response, he was bombarded with intensive gunfire from the barrier.

All of this originated from the sudden explosion of ‘Ji Xingque’ on the opposite side.

It was obvious that he had just reacted to the overly sudden development. Once he let go, the firelight illuminated his wild face. After a random burst of shooting, in addition to suppressing Lou Yueren behind Song Xuefeng’s barrier, the gunfire also spread to the rear where there was no cover in an instant.

Just as he was about to shoot through Hua Qianmei’s chest, a black scythe over two meters long suddenly appeared in her empty hand. She slammed the handle heavily on the ground. In an instant, a piece of the ground rose from the cracked ground. There was a kick of her toes and it just so happened to block in front of her. In the blink of an eye, it took on such a dense bombardment for Hua Qianmei and broke into thousands of pieces.

“See, Little Bird? Now you know why I always teach you not to be so noisy, right”?” Hua Qianmei walked gracefully through the dust, but her clothes weren’t stained with a single speck of dust. The scattered remnants just stayed in the air. Then with a slight movement of her hand, they quietly spread around.

As her red lips smiled, Hua Qianmei’s wine-red eyes gradually darkened. “But it is obviously too late for you to change this bad habit in a short period of time. Old Song will have to work hard to keep an eye on it. Otherwise, it will be bad if the restaurant is demolished before we pass the instance. It will also be bad if the designer girl refuses to admit that we passed the instance successfully.”

Song Xuefeng said, “I got it.”

“Very good.” Hua Qianmei glanced at Lu Nanling, who was sitting safely behind the counter. She moved her lips to say something, but finally sighed. “Forget it. That’s it. In this situation, I can only do a bit more.”

As she spoke, she felt her steps suddenly become heavier. The sneer on her face became stronger. “It is really troublesome that even superpowers can be copied, but… even pirated goods are being displayed in front of me. Isn’t this a bit too much?”

Hua Qianmei tightened her fingers holding the black scythe slightly. The moment she looked up again, an invisible airflow spread out instantly.

[Superpower: Gravity control.]

The bodies of the Dawn people, which had felt as heavy as a thousand kilograms just a moment ago, became light again. At the same time, the hail of bullets created by the pink-haired people on both sides seemed to be extinguished in an instant.

Looking around, the bullets that had completely lost their weight were suspended in the air. The excessively dense number was enough to make them feel numb.

Hua Qianmei’s whole body was instantly covered in a layer of cold sweat. Her chest was clearly heaving, and she cursed silently in her heart.

The world might’ve finally returned to peace, but the ability to control the gravity of objects was completely calculated based on the quantity. If there were two explosion maniacs like Little Bird, the number of bullets alone would be enough to kill them!

In the silence, ‘Ji Xingque’ and the others on the opposite side reacted and turned to look at ‘Hua Qianmei.’ However, this half-transformed, incomplete form didn’t have enough strength to compete with the original body no matter how hard she tried. After barely getting rid of the weightlessness, the only sound around them was the mottled sound of falling bullets.

The next second, the piece of floor thrown by Hua Qianmei from a distance hit her hard against the wall.

Looking at the almost flattened human figure, Hua Qianmei didn’t feel any regret for the damage to ‘her’ peerless beauty. Instead, she shook off the dust on her shoes with satisfaction and said, “You are in the way.”

She raised her eyes slightly and said Chi Ting, who had been standing still, finally took a step. She looked in the direction he was walking and suddenly remembered something. “If the captain lost his memory, which ability of his would he remember to use now? It shouldn’t be…”

She hadn’t thought much about it before. It was only at this time that Hua Qianmei realized the other former members of the Dawn team had lost their memories. In addition, Lou Yueren only met them after coming to the unlimited world. This meant that right now, she was the only one who knew about the captain’s special abilities.

The key point was that before tonight, she had never thought that there would be such a battle. Now it seemed that if the ‘Chi Ting’ on the opposite side also replicated the ability of their captain like other NPCs…

Hua Qianmei’s expression suddenly changed. She was very upset about her carelessness.

—No, it was bad!
