My portable gaming girlfriend

Fishy bug abyss.

The world was the same as it always was, and it was the same scene everywhere: a purple sky flickering with black lightning, a brown canyon stretching to the horizon. Thousands of peaks stand tall and extremely dangerous.

There are tens of thousands of winding wormholes hidden under the canyon, with complicated twists and turns, and their paths change frequently. No one has been able to draw a complete map so far.

This world is one of the most dangerous areas in all virtual worlds, and it is also a playground for adventurers.

Players who dare to enter this world are not timid, but they must be cautious and careful. Not to mention the threat posed by the ubiquitous insect swarms, the eternal rule in this world is that players can kill each other, and once a player dies, all weapons and herbs will be left at the place of death like the corpse. The latecomers picked it up. All a dead player can do is to start over with a new account, so this is an extremely dangerous and hardcore game world.

At a certain moment, a black figure appeared on a cliff somewhere.

The black figure is a man wearing a black windbreaker and a blood-red smiling face mask. He has accurately teleported to the top of a certain Stone Needle Peak, and his eyes under the mask seem to be focusing on a fierce battle at the bottom of the valley.

At the bottom of the valley, the purple-haired boy with a pretty face like a girl faced hundreds of black crustaceans twice his height, like a hungry person seeing a gluttonous feast, his face was full of excitement, and he swung himself up to fight with others. The same tall black giant ax slaughtered the bugs. He had a nimble figure, and in an instant he swung his ax and chopped off the three bugs rushing in front of him. No blood flowed from the broken parts of the bugs' corpses, but turned into data fragments and scattered into the air and disappeared.

The number of bugs is too high. Just after cutting off the three bugs, another bigger bug leapt towards his head from behind, and the young man was about to be crushed to the ground.

call out--

The bug was headshot by an invisible ray, and his body turned into data fragments and disappeared.

"It's really careless! You said you don't need my help?"

It was a sweet female voice who spoke.

The purple-haired boy didn't look back, and split the insect in half from top to bottom with an axe, yelling:

"Tsk, I can fight back!"

"Okay, okay, what a stubborn kid..."

That sweet female voice came from a girl with four robotic arms behind her.

The girl was wearing an iron hoop, and the hollow part of the iron hoop was made of metal teeth that formed iron bars, blocking the lower half of her face. She was wearing a linen skirt wrapped with solid metal, and the bottom of the skirt was tattered. In addition, she has curly and messy gray-blue long hair, and a pair of red eyes without pupils.

Of the four mechanical arms behind her, the lower two each hold a folding long knife, and the second section of the long knife is made of laser light. The upper two robotic arms work together to lift a laser Gatling gun above the head.

The girl herself held a laser rifle in each hand, and she just used these two guns to blow the heads of several bugs.

Dozens of bugs came up ahead, the bugs that were not afraid of death were like a steel wall, and the two metal arms behind the girl suddenly raised, and the laser gatling fired left and right. Hot red holes appeared one after another in the part of the carapace exposed to the laser, and then burned into ashes of data.

It is not easy for ordinary human beings to control their own limbs. In addition to controlling themselves, the girl can also control four mechanical arms to operate in parallel. The eyes turned golden and thoughtful.

The purple-haired boy jumped among the insect swarms, killing dozens of insects in the blink of an eye, while the girl on the other side cleared the field with Gatling.

There were more and more bugs, kicking the bug in front of him to jump up, chopping it and the bugs behind it in half with an axe, turning them into two pieces of data.

The bugs they faced were the most common monsters in the Fishy Worm Abyss. The number of them was unknown, and each time one died, a new one would be spawned, maintaining a constant number overall.

The fighting power of this kind of bug is not strong, but there are a lot of them. After death, there is a small probability that something called 'red sand mine' will explode, which can be used to strengthen weapons. However, there are also many players who specialize in teaming up to farm. it.

Ka Ka Ka...

From beneath the earth, there was an unsettling noise. The sound was as if sharp carapaces were breaking through the soil and rocks, which meant that something was ambushing the two fighting people with great fanfare.

Both the purple-haired boy and the girl with the mechanical arm were secretly vigilant about the unexpected visitor.

"It should be a big guy listening to the voice."

"Hee hee...are you afraid?"

"Huh? I'm Julian, but I've never been afraid of anything!"

The purple-haired boy, Julian, shouted at the girl as if he had been greatly insulted.

And the girl giggled again, her eyes staring at the direction of the source of the voice, but she remained calm all the time.

If the corpses of the bugs did not disappear, they would probably be standing on the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood by now. However, from the number of red sand ore drops, we can also see how many bugs they have hit. The calculated drop rate is about 1%, which is not high. The scattered red sand ore roughly counts as 1000 Multiple.

The rustling sound was getting closer and louder, and the sound was more penetrating than fingernails scratching a blackboard. Even the bugs that were supposed to besiege the two of them were reduced by more than half unconsciously.

With a little respite, Julian and the girl temporarily stood back to back for the common enemy.

"Hey, it's interesting to fight with you, what's your name?" Julian asked.

"Number 48? That's what they call me."

"What? What a strange name..."

"Is it weird?"

The girl who claimed to be number 48 tilted her head in thought.

"How can anyone's name be numbered? Forget it, I've seen even weirder ones... a bunch of gibberish characters."

The worm approached, and the rocks that broke through the ground flew around with great kinetic energy. There was a rock that was bigger than a person, and it flew towards Julian and No. 48. Once hit, it is the consequence of being killed on the spot. Julian raised the giant ax behind the knife, swung it into a semicircle, and rushed straight towards the boulder.

In the roar, the rock was chiseled by the giant axe, which also allowed them to see the enemies blocked by the rock.

A worm with a length of 20 meters and a diameter of about three meters, with a smooth surface.

It has no hands or eyes, and the part of its head is like a drill bit, which it uses to drill through everything that gets in the way when it is moving forward in the sand. However, when it encounters food, the drill bit will open again to become the mouth, and the layers of teeth inside will chew up all the objects eaten.

Its food is all kinds of ores including red sand ore. The reason why the number of insects has decreased greatly just now is because the swarm rushing underground was swallowed by it.

"It turned out to be a 'rock-eating worm'. It seems that the difficulty rating of this battle exceeded my expectations."

The rock-eating worm was temporarily attracted by the bugs all over the ground, and began to feast on it, ignoring the two 'human beings'.

"It sounds like you know it, so what is it?" the girl asked.

"No one here knows about it. This thing can be listed as TOP5 in terms of danger. It eats all kinds of ores and can easily move at high speed in rocks."

"Oh~ so powerful, is it too late for us to escape now?"

After hearing the words of number 48, Julian seemed to have been greatly insulted:

"What are you talking about! I misunderstood you, I thought you were just like me—a real warrior doesn't run away!"

Seeing that he was angry on the 48th, he turned his eyes and said quickly:

"I'm sorry! I didn't really want to run, but... I met too many incompetent and cowardly people before, which caused me to habitually miscalculate and be acted by others. I almost made you unhappy-you are a real fighter! Let's work together to smash it now!"

Seeing that No. 48 had a correct attitude, Julian smiled with satisfaction.

"Hmph, don't hit him, it's harder than a rock, and your laser gun can't hurt it. Aim at it's mouth to make it full, and I'll scratch it—maybe I can scratch a hole leading to the body There may be a breach in the interior."

"No problem!" Facing a big battle, No. 48 was already excited. She narrowed her eyes slightly, aiming at the giant mouth of the rock worm with the gun in her hand and the Gatling on the mechanical arm.

Julian swung his huge ax and rushed out, aiming at the connection between the rock-eating worm and the ground, and slashing down with the axe, causing the huge worm's body to tremble. The rock-eating worm has no eyes and relies on some kind of echo to sense the surrounding environment. After sensing Julian, it immediately turned its huge mouth towards him.

At this time, No. 48 started shooting, and several faintly red lasers flew towards the mouth of the rock-eating insect. The rock-eating worm was beaten until it shook its head and let out a sharp hiss, but the laser bombs kept chasing after it. Julian swung the second ax to match the gap.

The rock worm who was attacked by both long-range and melee attacks was completely angry. The other half of the body buried under the gravel broke through the ground fiercely, and its tail swept out a piece of rock in all directions.

And Julian, who was closest to its tail, was thrown more than ten meters away together with the rock. His body hit the hard rock pillar, and he fell powerlessly to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Oh...the soldier has been knocked down, it looks like he's really going to run away..."

No. 48 widened her eyes and looked, but she didn't see Julian get up. When she turned her head, the rock worm's bloody mouth was only a few meters away from her!

"Wow!"

She swung two laser knives and caught the rock worm's open, drill-like mouth shell. But the strength of the rock-eating worm is too great, and the mechanical arm can't support it for too long. The two outer walls are closing together. Seeing that No. 48 is about to be caught inside, it will become the rock-eating insect's dinner.

No. 48 raised the laser gatling and rifle again, and fired into the rock eater's mouth.

"hiss--"

The Rock Eater was hit at the weakest point at close range, and the massive damage allowed 48 to let go.

"Hmph, miscalculating the enemy's strength, that's the end. Hey, but I didn't hit this thing at all, so I slipped away..."

The two knives on the mechanical arm of No. 48 were folded back, and the mechanical arm stepped on the ground and became her means of transportation, leading her away from the still struggling rock worm.

She understood that just a few shots could not kill the boss-level monster, so... it was better to run away.

"Disgusting monster, die!"

With a scream, Julian ran out from the rubble. There was a red light in his eyes, and he jumped several meters high when he stepped on the ground. He swung his axe, still aiming at the rock worm.

The giant ax precisely slashed on the mouth of the drill bit in the experiment, not only chipped off half of the drill bit, but also broke one of its teeth!

"Hey hey hey——!"

Losing half of the drill bit, the other half wasn't enough to allow it to drill into the ground. This blow is equivalent to seriously injuring it.

"Hahaha, weak, useless, obediently hand over all the ores you have hidden!"

Julian chopped the wounded monster like a child playing with ants in the yard.

'...This guy...is quite powerful. '

Just now, thinking about number 48 running away, seeing Julian's almost whipped corpse, he was secretly amazed. As soon as she turned her eyes, she immediately manipulated the mechanical arm and rushed over, shooting at the rock-eating worm with full force, while shouting to Julian:

"Hey hey~ It was really thrilling just now, you almost died."

"Tsk, I can solve it myself."

Julian felt happy at the moment, because the pain of not being able to fight heartily for a long time due to the restrictions of the unknown before was completely released in this battle.

"go to hell!"

After finishing the final blow, the rock-eating worm crashed to the ground under Julian's giant axe, turning into fragments of data and disappearing. A mountain of ore was left in the place of its disappearing body...

For Julian, it can be regarded as a rewarding experience, not to mention that the No. 48 level is also good, and he is qualified to fight side by side with Julian.

"Hey! A lot of ore~"

"You pick first." Julian was not always so generous, but he was never stingy with the teammates he recognized.

"That's not a problem, but I saw your friend coming to you... that should be your friend?"

The girl looked at somewhere high up.

"What the hell? How can I have friends? I, Julian, have always been alone!"

Julian swung his giant ax with a look of disdain.

But the girl still stared at that place. In her perception, the man in the black windbreaker was obviously dressed in a low-key manner, but he had a super high sense of presence:

"Isn't that your friend standing on that rock? He's been staring at you."

"Huh? What..."

As soon as Julian turned his head, his eyes met the masked man in a black coat standing on the red high rock, and the movements of his hands gradually became stiff...

"The Nameless One? What are you doing here?"

Because of the existence of unrelated persons, the unknown person chose to answer his questions through encrypted channels.

Julian's complexion is getting worse and worse.

"What's the matter, he wants to take you away? Hey, if you don't want to leave, tell me, and I'll kill him for you~"

Seeing that Julian suddenly stopped fighting, the girl waved the other two mechanical arms to help him block all the bugs easily, and asked in 'kindness'.

"If you let me go, I'll go. Am I so shameless?!... Hey, I'll give you some face."

Julian, who was in high spirits just now, hangs his crown like a rooster who has lost his fighting spirit, and even throws the giant ax in his hand in a fit of anger, chopping an unlucky bug in half.

"Huh? Are you really leaving?"

"...That's right."

When the girl heard this, her expression collapsed.

"Okay ok... happy times are always short... by the way..."

The girl thought for a while, then said with a smile:

"Although I'm usually called 'No. 48', I don't think that's a good name, so I thought of a new name for myself, and it's called 'Nein (Nein)'~ Next time we go to play together Great guy!"

Julian threw his claws at the rock where the unknown man was, and climbed to the top in three steps. Nain was waving goodbye to him behind the scenes.

Not only does the thunder and lightning never stop here, but there is also a strong wind like a knife. But the nameless person was not affected by the strong wind, and even the hem of his clothes remained motionless. The rock-eating worms that Julian faced were only small characters, and the characters he was about to bring in were the real troubles.

A low voice came from under the mask:

"Julian, don't you remember anything I told you? Don't mess with the 'maintainer'."

It didn't take Julian a few seconds to recall what a 'protector' was, and he immediately understood why the nameless man was so eager to find him.

"Isn't it just making a little more noise? Those humans even want to take care of this? It's so annoying!"

The nameless man sneered.

"Slightly? You can't attract other people's attention at any time, I told you? Your memory is not very good, and I will punish you when I go back."

The most serious thing about the so-called punishment is that it is sealed as static data, which is equivalent to sleeping without knowing when to wake up, and whether to wake up or not is all in the nameless person's thought. But Julian believed that, just for this kind of mistake, the nameless person would not use that method.

So he is confident:

"Hmph, you can punish me whatever you want, I'm not a squeamish child..."

"Then send you to school and learn the rules, how about it?"

The purple-haired boy immediately shut up, his body shivering. How could he forget this punishment that was more terrifying than sleeping...

"The 'Maintainer' has entered the Abyss of Fishy Worms now, and they will find us in one to two minutes. You have to hide."

"Isn't it enough to kill those 'defenders'? Are you and I still afraid of them?!" Julian shouted eagerly.

"Heh, killing them is a small matter. What do you want to do if it triggers Endia's full investigation? Hurry up and decide your punishment after it's over."

Before the nameless man finished speaking, a round hole leading to other spaces was formed under Julian's feet. When Julian fell into the hole due to gravity, his eyes were still unwilling...
