My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2631 -878: In Short, For the Ultimate Victory, Let’s Send a Wave First!

When the successful demon-banishing Sir Murphy arrived at the players’ assembly area with a mysteriously refreshing smile, the place was already in an uproar.

Currently, almost all the players in the game have been gathered here, except for the few who are tied down by important responsibilities that they cannot leave. The others kindly showed up to join in the event.

In theory, such large-scale gatherings are quite challenging, especially since players have different gaming habits and login times. However, perhaps thanks to the “mask era” in reality, players generally have plenty of free time to spend on such “group activities,” allowing Murphy to see the lively “family reunion” of players.

After a series of “expansions,” the number of players in the game has exceeded 6000, with 2000 pure newbies like Daddy Potato joining within a week. Seeing more than 5000 players gathered like this is a bit intimidating, leaving them somewhat reserved and awkward.

Lady Judy walked around with her silly husband visiting well-known veteran players, while the Stonemason Association temporarily built some stone steps for resting. Big shots like Old Chen joyfully exchanged experiences with players from other industries, while the young people gathered eagerly discussing how to slaughter the Werewolf later.

Compared to the veteran players who are as composed as old dogs, the newbies were a bit noisy, treating this as a lively large-scale team-building event, eager to show their martial prowess in front of veteran players.

Such actions made the assembly area resemble a bustling fair, like tens of thousands of ducks squawking together, causing headaches, yet amidst the noise, there are those who stand out like a firefly in the night, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

This refers to the shield holder in Dasaen’s five-member squad, Ruthless Mantis.

This guy is considered an outstanding veteran player. With his combat skills and equipment accumulation, he could have been chosen to join the God Slayers, but surprisingly, Sao Brother voluntarily gave up this glorious opportunity. It’s not that he feared taking responsibility, but rather an unforeseen event suddenly happened to him.

“Hey, hey, hey, slow down! What’s with running around with a big belly?”

Mantis, wearing awe-inspiring armor and carrying the formidable Hot Melting Battle Axe, chased around like a nanny after his wife, and whenever Sister-in-law Bug appeared, regardless of whether they were professional players or industry big names, they would stand up and make way to show respect.

It’s not that Sister-in-law Bug is as domineering as Street Cleaning Tiger, but primarily because her three-month pregnant belly causes players to feel jittery.

Sister-in-law Bug entered the game a week ago.

It caused quite a stir. When she arrived at the Maginot Line with the militia of Crimson Castle, humming like a traveler, Mantis, who was preparing excitedly to slay gods, was so shocked he almost disconnected.

Firstly, Mantis didn’t know when his mischievous wife sneakily applied for game access; secondly, he was baffled by Alpha Company’s audacity in giving helmets to pregnant women!

If there’s spare time, why not give the helmets to those brothers in need?

However, things weren’t as scary as Brother Bug imagined, because Sister-in-law Bug’s helmet had a mandatory “non-combat personnel” permission lock.

Based on the information Mantis received from Brother Fa on the forum, this special permission could protect Sister-in-law Bug’s safety in the game, instantly disconnecting her upon encountering any danger, preventing her from participating in any combat-related scenes until she was out of the “special physiological stage,” at which point the permission would be lifted.

In other words, even after getting the helmet, Sister-in-law Bug can only play the role of a “traveler” in Transylvania, enjoying scenery, tasting delicacies, and having leisurely fun, but she can’t do anything else.

According to Brother Fa, this was Alpha Company’s promotional plan for “special groups,” and Sister-in-law Bug fortunately got selected for the test spot. Brother Fa wagered Alpha Company’s honor, assuring Mantis that the helmet wouldn’t affect her pregnancy health, and its built-in health management program could help her promptly spot potential issues.

It’s like wearing a super-advanced health assistant that would immediately notify the nearest medical institution if something happened, and she could only log on eight hours a day, spending the rest in reality to ensure sufficient physical activity.

After getting such assurances and finding the otherworldly activity interesting, and in lockdown conditions effectively adjusting moods, Sister-in-law Bug refused to return the helmet, even leading to a living room fight with Mantis, where Brother Bug got beaten up, only to ultimately comply.

He’s a good man, and to care for his wife, he reluctantly abandoned the God Slayers summons, even writing a letter entrusted to someone to explain to Lord Pa Ying, although unintentionally this led Mantis at the silver rank to become the lead general in the “Three-Day Miracle” operation.
