Devouring the Starry Sky begins with the battle of geniuses

Chapter 1 Virtual Universe Anonymous Account

Under the cold night light, two dark shadows overlapped.

There was a low and rapid "huffing" sound in the air.

But it was a young man with black hair wearing black clothes, holding a black sword, and a mask on his face, and a man wearing the same clothes lying in a pool of blood.

One is alive, the other is...death!

"Huh... it's really thrilling."

Hunzhen looked at his colleague lying on the ground and calmed his breathing: "Although according to the results of the simulation, this guy is no longer my opponent... But simulation is simulation, and actual combat is actual combat. Even if I simulate it ten times, I will win ten times." , but in reality, as long as the ship capsizes once in the gutter, there will be no chance of recovery. But just because you can simulate it, you cannot be frivolous or take it lightly."

After traveling to this black jade star, I was very unlucky to be reborn in the body of a killer whose body was still warm for more than a month.

Why do you say it's bad luck?

Just after crossing over, he was almost beheaded by his original sister. Looking at all the worlds, this is considered rare, right?
If he hadn't reacted quickly and successfully counterattacked due to the opponent's carelessness, he might have been the first time traveler in the world to have his head chopped off by his sister within five seconds of time travel.

The reason why such a scene of brother and sister appeared was due to the monthly mission requirements of the killer organization "Company" to which the brother and sister belonged.

The first is a monthly task issued every month; the second is to take down the head of a colleague of the same period within a limited period of each month.

Failure to achieve any of these items will result in termination from superiors.

It’s not like no one thought about resisting.

It's just that every killer has a biochip implanted in his body. This chip not only controls their location and some physical information, but is also a remote-controlled bomb.

When your life is in someone else's hands, you have no right to resist.

Treated like this, we are more like slaves and livestock than employees.

The company's killers can only do their job of cleaning up like hard-working gardeners.

Coupled with the fear of each other, there are basically no companions, and they are all alone.

The original owner is an exception.

In the past, I have always worked with my sister.

The two brothers and sister are not from the Black Jade Planet, but are natives of a planet called Balian.

The people of Balian Star are simple and simple, and have not developed any high-tech technologies. They are still in the stage of prosperity of nomadic people.

In the bloody and cruel vast universe, it is like a paradise without any competition from the world.

After being attacked by an interstellar slave merchant, the clan was wiped out and most of the people in the clan became slaves.

The brother and sister were almost transferred to the Black Jade Star and became the company's killers for three years.

After two and a half years of training in the killer training camp, it has been half a year since his official debut as a killer.

They had always been dependent on each other—until not long ago.

The younger sister stabbed Bo's brother and sister Gong in the back while the original owner was sleeping, and directly killed the original owner, so that his corpse could be resurrected.

Hunzhen later looked through a wave of memories of the original owner, but found that there was nothing strange about it.

The two brothers and sister are of low strength, so it is easy to say that they can complete the company's tasks together.

But the killers in the same period have been killing each other for half a year, and everyone who survived is a ruthless character.

The elder brother still thought that he would sacrifice himself when necessary to help his sister kill a colleague, but the younger sister didn't think so.

I am afraid that I had already thought of killing my brother earlier.

Even if you live one more month, it will be good.

Now that the deceased has passed away, Hunzhen does not intend to make any comments on her sister's actions.

Surviving is the most important thing.

The original owner was limited in his vision, but Hun Zhen could see that this black jade star full of cyberpunk style was actually the company's killer training camp.

As an ordinary person, he feels that he does not have any special talents.

Since this world is an interstellar world with extraordinary power, killers like them are naturally extraordinary people.

It's just that...the original body is weak.

They are called warriors and are divided into nine levels.These killer rookies were basically at the first level when they debuted. Half a year later, the weakest of their colleagues who are still alive have been promoted to the second level, and most of them have broken through to the third level.

Before he came, the original owner and his sister were only at the first level of advanced realm.

In the same period, he is undoubtedly the fighting chicken among the weak chickens. No wonder the younger sister wants to kill her brother to survive.

And he who traveled through time was even weaker than the original owner.

The memory of the original owner is like a movie that can be browsed at high speed. He himself has no combat experience, knowledge or awareness of combat.

Not to mention counter-killing colleagues in the company, whether they can complete the tasks assigned by the company is still a question.

Fortunately, he discovered that time travel comes with its own "simulation system" and can simulate it once a day.

Unfortunately, according to what the simulation knew, almost a month after traveling through time, a colleague at the third level would come to pinch him.

If you can't find life through thirty simulations, the life you just saved will have to be returned immediately.

He didn't want to die, so he could only hold on to the last straw.For each simulation, he can choose one of "cultivation strength" and "experience and knowledge" to bring back.

Of course, what is described in the system prompt is not "cultivation strength" and "experience and knowledge", but Hunzhen is more accustomed to calling it this way.

In the first simulation, he chose to escape with a sense of luck. After leaving the range of this night city, there was a bang and the dog belt exploded in his head.

After realizing that he would be directly executed by the company if he left Night City directly, he changed his mind and tried to leave his original scope of activities to deal with the killer who was targeting him.

Then once he was killed by another killer, and another time he was directly caught up by the opponent and harvested in advance.

After wasting three simulations, most of the next dozen or so simulations were based on rewards for cultivation strength. However, in the end they only reached the second-level intermediate level, and ultimately failed to break through the fatal situation of this third-level colleague. .

The time until the "attack" was only more than a month, and with each simulation, the time for the next time became less and less.

Putting aside the time required to complete tasks and obtain training resources, the total training time is less than a year.

The self in the simulation is not a robot that performs tasks according to his orders, but a self "without simulation ability".

At most, your thoughts before the simulation can become your "belief" during the simulation, which will greatly affect your actions afterward.

But when it comes to some major decisions, even if you think they are beneficial to you now, you in the simulation will not make them.

For example, at the cost of your life, you can obtain information about your colleagues through several simulations, so that you can set a trap for yourself in the next simulation to kill them.

Such an idea has never been successful.

Hunzhen quickly understood the reason after thinking about it from his perspective.

For the Hunzhen in the simulation, what does the "past Hunzhen" have to do with himself?
He has lost the simulation system, why should he still work for that irrelevant guy?

In the face of the threat of death, of course, choosing to save one's own life is the top priority.

In fact, in the simulation, even if he knew it was useless, he would still try to escape at the end and prolong the training time.

Unfortunately, the difference in experience between the two sides as killers is too high. No matter how they escape, they cannot avoid a head-on battle.

Seeing that the day of the attack was getting closer, Hunzhen gradually became anxious.

Even if all the remaining simulation results were used to improve his cultivation, he could not guarantee that he would break through the third level and usher in a qualitative change.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and changed his strategy, giving up the improvement of hard power in cultivation and instead improving the soft power of combat experience.

The first ten times, he finally died in an ambush by his colleagues.

But in No. 11 simulations, he was able to complete a counterattack despite being seriously injured!

Having fought life and death with the same character for more than ten times, perhaps his combat skills have not yet improved to the next level, but in terms of the experience of fighting with this colleague, he thinks that no one can match him!
The gap in hard power between the two sides is not so large that it is insurmountable!
The self in the simulation who inherited the combat experience is not without the power to compete with it.

In the No. 11 simulation, although he fought back, he still won miserably. He died immediately after recovering.

No. 12 simulation, he was seriously injured, but he persisted for another half month, and was killed by a colleague.

No.13 simulation, he only suffered minor injuries and won the battle with the enemy half a month later!
In the 14th simulation, he killed the first colleague without any injuries, and in the second month, he killed the second colleague at the cost of serious injury. Finally... a turning point came!
As the number of deaths of this batch of killers reached the threshold, the company announced that the assessment would enter the next stage. The scope of the killers' activities would expand, and the difficulty of the monthly tasks would immediately increase.

At the same time, the second condition was changed from one month to three months to kill a colleague.

Eight months have passed since the debut of this batch of killers, and during the same period, the remaining number of killers is less than [-]%.

Except for a few cases like Hun Zhen, those who survived were ruthless characters who were extremely difficult to mess with.

Even if it means survival of the fittest, Hunzhen feels that this is enough, and even feels that continuing this "tradition" of internal fighting is somewhat unclear.

But his status was so low that there was no point in thinking about it.

As long as you can survive.

only……

Although the time limit was relaxed, he died at the hands of his colleagues in the third month.

Naturally, he had no power to resist as his injury had not healed.

However, in reality, Hunzhen was not angry because in this third month, he finally successfully broke through to the third level of elementary level!

This time, he chose to inherit his strength and directly broke through to the third level in one fell swoop!

Then, on this night, he killed the intruder without any harm!
The battle was over and it was past midnight. Hunzhen leaned on the cold wall, calmed down the violent beating of his heart, and let out a breath.

"Start the simulation."

[It has been three months since you killed your No. 1 colleague head-on and successfully broke through this barrier that has been troubling you for a long time]

[With the sharp decrease in the number of killers during the same period, the requirement to kill colleagues every month was subsequently lowered to once every three months]

[According to the last simulation record, you are always on guard against attackers in the third month.But it seems that because of your improved strength, you were only slightly injured in the second month of hunting. In the third month, you were in good condition and did not attract covetousness]

[At this time, your cultivation level has reached the third level, and your combat and killing experience is considered superior among the remaining killers of the same period. Although the company's several death assessments were quite risky, they failed to stump you in the end.Gradually, a thought arises in your mind: "When will we be able to escape from the cage?"]

[Knowing that your strength is low and you are not well prepared, you bury this treacherous idea deep in your heart and complete the task silently while accumulating strength]

【No.20 Two months, it has been about two years since your killer debut.Company executives gathered the remaining survivors.You guys who consider yourself veterans know now that you were just interns in the company before, and you will undergo a three-month final training. Only after passing the final training can you officially become a regular and become a first-level officer]

[No.20 Five months later, at the end of the final training camp, you finally broke through to the fourth level of elementary level and successfully passed the training assessment.Among the first-level officials, your cultivation is weak, but because of your outstanding achievements and fierce reputation, no one dares to look down upon you]

[At the beginning of the third year, during a mission, you "picked up" a strange helmet at the target's home.This is a mind helmet that is logged in with an anonymous account of the Virtual Universe Company. You have successfully accessed the Virtual Universe]
