Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?

Chapter 533: The Ruthless Methods of the Players

“Are these the Transcendent beings of this world? So weak, even thermal weapons can take them down.”

Inside a factory, a figure moved between huge industrial equipment.

They casually walked over and kicked a figure that could no longer move, their tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

“Don’t underestimate the Transcendent organizations of this world. Also, shutting down the normal operation of this factory and driving those people away will attract the attention of the organizations in this world!”

A voice from another figure, who was still busy, spoke up to warn.

“This is the first time I’ve spawned with the identity of a small factory owner. The Myriad Worlds Terminal is finally acting like a human being this time. I remember the last time it was a beggar who started in hell, which made me want to restart the game right there.”

He spread his hands and sighed.

Although the identities they spawned with made basically no difference to high-level players like them.

“Besides, I saw those workers toiling so hard. What’s wrong with giving them a vacation? If they don’t leave, how will this place become our base?”

“I don’t understand how a person like you was selected by the Myriad Worlds Terminal to be a vanguard explorer.”

“Does that even need to be asked? Of course, it’s strength! But you technical guys, have you completed the language synchronization for this world?”

The youth asked a bit impatiently.

As ”players” of the game world, especially those who could be selected by the Myriad Worlds Terminal as world vanguard explorers, they were basically powerhouses.

Furthermore, they had already broken free from the information blockade of the low-level players and possessed almost the same information access permissions as the ”Game Architects.”

So, they were very clear that what they were playing was not a game, but it was also a game.

However, the world they were in was not the game world, but a real world outside of the world.

As vanguard explorers, the first batch of players designated to descend upon this world, they needed to collect information about this world for their own world and provide data of this world to the Myriad Worlds Terminal.

This included the language integration package.

Therefore, these technical players responsible for organizing languages feared encountering worlds that had not achieved unification.

Worlds where just one region had one language, and the total number of languages amounted to dozens or even hundreds.

When they encountered such a world, they could only admit their bad luck, as the workload would directly double.

Of course, the qualification to be among the first batch of vanguard explorers was extremely rare, and their benefits were very generous.

Behind high benefits was also high risk.

If they failed to meet the hard task indicators, their personal score in the Myriad Worlds Terminal would be lowered, and their qualifications to explore new worlds and access other worlds in the future would also be restricted.

So, as the first batch of players, their primary goal was to collect information about this world, and the second… was to collect Destiny.

Of course, their world didn’t call it Destiny, but Game Qualification, which was a rare resource.

And this resource often existed within a certain person or certain groups in this world.

They needed to find ways to acquire these rare Game Qualification resources, and this qualification could be used to offset the failure of a vanguard exploration mission.

As for the Soul-substance resources that players mainly collected, they didn’t need to actively collect them, lest they put the cart before the horse.

The time for harvesting Soul-substance would be when a large number of players descended.

“Whew… Fortunately, this world seems to have achieved unification in advance. There is only one common language, greatly reducing the workload. The trial version has already been uploaded to the Myriad Worlds Terminal for integration. The next step is continuous optimization, but that’s no longer my job.”

The person started packing up his things after finishing all this.

“Hey, wait. Are you packing up and preparing to log off?”

“No, you idiot. We’ve already been discovered here. I need to leave this place first. I don’t want to be buried here with you. Also, since you are the main combatant, you have the obligation to protect me and stall for time so I can escape first.”

“No, you’re just running away? Then what about these guys I caught? Do you know how much effort it took me to bring them here alive?”

“I never asked you to catch them. The information in their heads is even less than what I collected online. You’re just looking for trouble.”

As he spoke, he had already finished integrating his equipment.

A pure-colored cube the size of a fist was held in his hand and then disappeared.

Immediately afterward, a vehicle appeared beside him.

“I’m looking for trouble… Holy shit! A limited-edition Explorer patrol motorcycle? And it’s been modified. You’re modifying this kind of collector’s item? Take me with you!”

“I’m not taking anyone.”

“Then I’ll stall the people coming for you, and you lend me this to play with!”

“We’ll see, if you can still meet me.”

He said coldly.

A helmet floated into his hand.

As he put it on his head, a mosaic-like pixel block covered his entire body, and then a professional motorcycle uniform replaced the clothes he was wearing.

It was clearly part of the same series as the vehicle.

Seeing the figure leave directly, he put away his previous expression, his face becoming indifferent.

The Stealth Modification Module concealed his figure, and the Mute Module was also present.

It seemed he was an old hand at escaping.

After the other party left, he spat.

The person acted so cool and aloof, but in the end, he still had to run away to ensure his Game Qualification wouldn’t be eliminated.

However, the other party had already shown his background just by slightly revealing himself, so he was very clear that he was someone he couldn’t afford to provoke.

He just acted a little clueless, but he wasn’t stupid.

Otherwise, why would they cooperate with that kind of attitude?

It was better for the other party to leave sooner.

Now that the guy was gone, he had no more reservations.

So, he wanted to turn this factory into a huge gift, giving those Transcendent beings a big surprise.

He didn’t believe that the Transcendent beings of this world were that weak, so he needed to lure those old guys out.

At least he needed to gauge their strength and understand their general capabilities so his next actions would have a limit.

Otherwise, doing something without knowing anything and getting himself killed would be an irrecoverable loss.

And what he was going to do next was to set this place up as a giant trap, waiting for those Transcendent beings to seek him out.

He admitted that this was his best starting scenario, but that didn’t mean he cared about this factory.

He had witnessed the fall of too many worlds, let alone a mere factory.

Allowing this place to become the grave of a group of Transcendent beings might even increase its value of existence significantly.

But it was clear that the person who left earlier was in a hurry, which meant he didn’t have much time left.

Before he could fully set up the explosives, there was movement outside.

Or rather, even if those people came in without making a sound, the small map around him in his vision marked the incoming people.

He was a vanguard explorer, so the Myriad Worlds Terminal would naturally give them the best and most standard features, but it wouldn’t give him other such good things, such as the weapons, equipment, vehicles, and special effects he possessed, because these things belonging to him were the motivation for him to voluntarily explore new worlds one after another.

At this moment, he hid in the darkness, looking at the men and women walking in so carelessly in the distance.

He frowned.

How did this group of people find him here?

They had no sense of crisis whatsoever, walking in as casually as if they were on a spring outing.

Just as he took out a gun and was about to take out one of them first, the other party seemed to sense something and quickly became vigilant.

“What is this? A sixth sense?”

He pursed his lips and put away the firearm.

It seemed the people who came this time were not easy to deal with.

The other party’s alertness to danger was actually so high.

“Who is it! Come out! I know you’re here…”

“I see you. Give up resistance! We are…”

“Hey, hey! Are those the kidnapped people?”

Just as one of them was shouting, trying to trick the other party out, his teammate immediately spotted something, pointing at the figures on the ground in the distance.

Because the factory was relatively dim, they couldn’t see very clearly, but they could distinguish that there were several figures.

But they still walked over cautiously.

At this moment, the player in the dark adjusted his mindset.

He had seen many worlds and many power systems.

Because of the differences in power systems, the focus of combat power, insight, and even pure destructive power varied.

So, he quickly accepted this setting and decided to just play it as a game.

So, he didn’t risk going out to mock them, but waited for the best time to send these guys and this small factory all into the sky!

The explosives he had set up were densely arranged around the area where the captured people were located.

The equivalent power was enough to send all these guys away.

He secretly left a screen monitor and quietly left the place.

He didn’t want to be affected by his own explosives.

After all, they still hadn’t found those special guys carrying the Game Qualification, so he couldn’t afford to lose his life yet.

“Be careful, don’t rush over. Watch out for an ambush!”

“It’s alright. I have Protective Spells. I’ll go see how they are first.”

“You!”

Seeing the other party being so reckless, he didn’t stop him but paid more vigilant attention to the surroundings to prevent a sneak attack.

But as time passed, no danger seemed to descend.

And the person who had gone over had already rescued the few people who were tied up.

“It’s alright. It looks like the other party ran away in advance. There are still fresh traces left behind.”

“Have you confirmed the other party’s identity?”

“The other party seems to be the owner of this factory. It’s strange… he doesn’t look like someone who can access Transcendent power, and their family hasn’t had any relatives with Transcendent power either.”

With the rescue of the hostages, this sudden attack seemed to end unexpectedly quickly for them.

The next step was just to send them back to their respective academies.

Of course, if they insisted on returning home, they wouldn’t stop them, but if they were kidnapped again, it might not be so easy to rescue them.

“Hmm? Wait, what is this?”

Just when everyone was preparing to celebrate halfway and head back, a senior student who had been patrolling the factory found a strange construct in a corner.

And with the discovery of this thing, he suddenly found this object in several concealed corners one after another.

“What did you find?”

Just as everyone wanted to know what the other party had found, the student who discovered the strange construct suddenly sensed the threat coming from it and immediately realized the danger!

“Run! It’s dangerous! Get out quickly!”

He shouted at the others the moment he reacted.

He instantly put the object in front of him into his Storage Equipment, then tore off the entire buckle and threw it far away.

But it was still too late.

The number of explosives was far more than just in this one place.

Boom—!

A terrifying explosion, accompanied by rolling heat waves, swept through the entire factory.

The powerful shockwave completely destroyed all the facilities here.

A small mushroom cloud immediately rose from the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

The dust on the ground immediately soared into the air, and then was scattered far away by the shockwave.

And the junior students who were at the center of the explosion at this moment were instantly turned to dust.

Only those few senior students remained, but they were also bloody and mutilated.

Even their Protective Spells were destroyed at this moment.

The high temperature and terrifying shockwave destroyed most of their bodies, leaving only the immortality brought by their terrifying life level, sustaining their last sliver of life.

In the distance, the player looked at the monitor screen, which had turned completely black, and the terrifying mushroom cloud, immediately followed by a terrifying sonic boom that passed him, vibrating his eardrums painfully.

And he rode his vehicle and fled the scene.

The commotion from this explosion was simply too terrifying.

It wouldn’t be long before too many people gathered here.

It seemed he needed to use an item to change his appearance.

As he thought this, the images of those guys surfaced in his mind again, and he couldn’t help but shake his head.

These Transcendent beings were simply too naive!

And at this moment, the few people who survived at the factory, which had been razed to the ground, desperately searched their Storage Equipment with their last ounce of strength, hurriedly looking for something that could heal their almost fatal injuries.

Without the help of Potions or similar items, no matter how terrifying their own immortality was, they couldn’t simply regenerate flesh out of thin air.

As the injuries were gradually being healed, one of them, even though his vocal cords had not been completely reconstructed, let out an unwilling roar!

They almost died here because of this mission!

But that wasn’t the most important thing.

Their immortality allowed them to save their lives, but… those hostages they had clearly rescued, those students, were all junior students who had just come into contact with the Transcendent.

They had only just come of age!

Watching them die in front of them, while they couldn’t even save themselves, this pain was indescribable.

As senior students, they had undertaken many missions, but this was the first time they had encountered such a rampant Transcendent criminal who disregarded human life…

And the other party actually possessed such terrifying explosives!

“I’m unwilling! These guys… these guys! I’m going to butcher them all!”

“Go… back to the Academy. This matter is clearly not something we can resolve.”

The person who still had some sanity struggled to get up and advised.

“I’m not leaving! That guy must be watching us make fools of ourselves nearby! I’m going to find him…”

“I understand how you feel, but do you really think you won’t die? Do you want others to repeat what we’ve just experienced? Go back! Report the incident!”

“Then what about these junior students? Will the Resurrection Spell still work on them?”

“I don’t know, but… sigh… let’s collect these remains first and go back to ask the mentor…”

As these heavy, realistic problems continuously pressured their nerves, time ticked by, but it could not soothe their hearts one bit.

The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

Others who were Transcendent also rushed here to understand the situation, but upon seeing the tragic scene, they couldn’t help but gasp.

The destruction here was too thorough, but thankfully, the people who arrived were students from the Academy.

Those with severe injuries were also helped back to their respective academies.

And this explosion completely triggered the fury of the Transcendent Academies, drawing the attention of more students who had stayed at school to this matter.

This incident was a kidnapping plus a murder of the hostages!

Moreover, it caused such a terrifying explosion that shocked the entire world.

Even senior students could only rely on their immortality for self-protection.

Such a terrifying, planned, and premeditated terrorist act targeting Transcendent beings was a complete provocation against them!

Accompanying this sensational event was another piece of news that also swept the external network and various Transcendent Academies.

A tear in the sky suddenly appeared above the Horasso Swamp, one of the world’s largest wetland scenic areas.

The abnormal spatial phenomenon had already seriously affected the local ecosystem, and if not intervened, it could affect bird migration.

The Main World was visibly becoming chaotic.
