Chapter 1378: 453. Submit to me
“Am I seeing this right, how can there be so many Alliance warships gathered outside the black hole?”
Cucumber Slice touched his forehead, his face showing genuine confusion.
In fact, he was indeed shocked.
While following the fleet through the quantum leap, he chatted with GM and sought advice.
The advice from GM was simple, just letting Cucumber Slice go with the flow.
As for the game screen showing a large number of warships, and this screen being seen by the brothers Winter Melon and Kelp, GM did not mention it at all, as it seemed there was no need to emphasize it.
...
This directly led Cucumber Slice to not expect the disconnection zone outside the black hole to be the scene of this event.
More importantly, why did those warships from the Angel Enterprise Alliance explode?
Would this massive, earth-shattering explosion affect the players’ warships?
With these questions in mind, Cucumber Slice picked up his phone, opened the mobile app of the game, and checked the game video he had recorded.
As expected, due to the disconnection, the game’s built-in recording function was unexpectedly interrupted, and the game video was lost.
Fortunately, little brother Winter Melon had recorded the game screen with his phone, providing material for a replay right now.
The three of them gathered around the phone and watched the video recorded on the phone again.
There was no mistake, the flames and the explosion had indeed occurred inside the Alliance warships.
From the video recorded, almost all the Alliance’s warships had exploded.
Even the Artificial Angels were blown to pieces from the inside out by the bomb.
This tremendous explosion, bursting forth like a glimpse of a night-blooming flower, left the three completely shocked, reflecting, and curious.
Just as the three of them were deep in thought about the cause and effect of the explosion, Winter Melon suddenly slapped his head and hurriedly opened the streaming channel:
“Right, there’s just over two minutes left until the game maintenance. That streamer should be about to enter the disconnection zone, right? We might see the explosion scene again from his perspective.” noveldrama
The live streaming footage appeared.
The three of them watched intently.
On the screen, the streamer was about to make the last short-distance quantum leap.
Before officially activating the “Jump Knife,” he swaggered, vigorously hyping up the atmosphere in the streaming room, yet he hesitated to press the “Jump Knife” activation button.
Clearly, the streamer was playing with the audience’s expectations to maximize the emotional response in the streaming room.
The comment section immediately burst with dense subtitles:
“Just press it already!”
“Press it, hurry and press it, the official maintenance end time is about to come!”
“Hand over the game helmet to me, I’ll help you press it!”
“Dare you not to press it!”
The streamer seemed to enjoy the “praise” from the comments.
Under the watchful eyes of 300,000 online viewers, he pressed the “Jump Knife” activation key at the moment 18 seconds were left until the end of the maintenance.
“Hum—” The ship vibrated, a sudden feeling of thrust arose, and the spacecraft accelerated continuously as the large miniature quantum leap engine was ignited, bright blue flames erupting from the back of the ship.
The streamer clearly understood the mechanics of the “Jump Knife” operation very well.
He knew that it only took 15 seconds for the spacecraft to start a short-range quantum leap and reach the destination, so he precisely timed the activation 18 seconds before the maintenance ended.
As he intended.
The spaceship turned into a straight light blade, flashing forward a full 800 kilometers in an instant.
“Eh? Then what?”
The live streaming screen went pitch black.
Winter Melon thought his phone was broken, pressed the screen with his hand, but found everything working normally.
Instead, he saw a massive number of subtitles pop up in the comment section, all asking whether the streamer was still alive or if he had disconnected.
Logically, after completing the short-distance quantum leap, the streamer’s perspective should immediately reveal the scene inside the disconnection zone.
But since the live streaming screen was pitch black at that moment, the only explanation was that the streamer had disconnected.
Winter Melon turned off the streaming loop and then scrolled through the game’s official website.
He pointed to the phone screen and said:
“The game’s official announcement says, server maintenance is completed, players can log on now.”
Winter Melon remarked:
“That streamer really snagged a disconnection reward, huh…”
Kelp added from the side:
“Lucky as hell, but he does have some skill.”
Cucumber Slice pondered and said:
“So, that means, only the three of us saw the scene of the ship exploding, right?”
The three looked at each other, their eyes flashing with excitement.
This was exclusive information and purely firsthand!
If they were to release this video, it would definitely be a major news story that would rock the entire network!
“How about this, Kelp and I go rush to work on the video and then log on afterwards?” asked Winter Melon.
Cucumber Slice thought for a moment and said:
“Let’s hold on for now. Winter Melon, copy the video onto a USB drive and give it to me. I’ll consider it further to avoid any potential conflict with the game officials over disclosing business secrets.”
The meaning behind Cucumber Slice’s words might be hard for those outside the industry to understand, but the studio members like Winter Melon and Kelp truly empathized.
In the past, there had been incidents where players posted bug details online, only for the game company to demand a take-down.
If the video they recorded on their phones also showed some sort of bug, then it might not be suitable for posting online.
Winter Melon felt that Captain’s reasoning was sound.
He went back, transferred the video to a USB drive using a data cable, handed it to Cucumber Slice, and then along with Kelp, put on the game helmets and officially logged on.
