Chapter 174 – Shanghai Battle (2)
Shanghai, inside a 12-story western restaurant located in a certain pedestrian street, many diners were currently dining here in a refined manner.
“What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?” a lady plained as she picked up her napkin and wiped her mouth. “I can’t even hear the piano.”
“Miss Cheng, if you like Bach’s Twelve Little Preludes No. 12, I can play it for you,” a man in a suit said, smiling.
After taking a slice off her steak, the lady placed it into her mouth with misted eyes. Once she devoured the cut, she said, “Mr. Zhang-”
Boom!
Before the lady could finish speaking, the restaurant’s door suddenly opened. Three mysterious animated characters then ran into the building. The person leading the group was none other than Little Peach.
“Paint this place!”
“Yes, sir!”
Takka! Takka! Takka!
Boom…
Amidst the dining guests’ confusion, Little Peach’s group sent large blobs of red paint flying all over, thoroughly painting the entire restaurant in red.
“We’re done here! To the next building!”
After issuing her mand, Little Peach ran out of the restaurant together with her two “underlings.” As they exited the building, though, they just so happen to e across two of the donation group’s members. Immediately, both sides engaged each other in brutal bat.
“This…”
The man in the suit was dumbfounded as he looked at his female panion, who had been thoroughly dyed in red. “What is going on here?”
Meanwhile, after spitting out a mouthful of paint, the lady said with teary eyes, “M-My dress…”
“No problem. This paint looks like it disappears automatically.”
“B-But the paint on the steak isn’t disappearing.”
Hearing this, the man’s plexion darkened. Smacking the table, the man yelled at the restaurant’s manager, “What is going on here?! How can your restaurant allow a bunch of lunatics to enter and spray paint all over us?!”
“I… This…” The manager was also caught off guard by the situation. Hurriedly, he ran over and cleared the table. “I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry. We…”
Boom!
At this time, the restaurant’s entrance got kicked open once more. Disney’s representative, who emerged victorious from the battle, then entered the building with his Italian Artillery. After scanning the red paint inside the building, he smirked and started firing.
Boom!
Boom!
The restaurant’s red interior was instantly dyed blue…
However, before Disney’s representative could turn around and leave, the assault rifle-wielding soldier from the bullet ment group charged into the building and took care of the representative. The soldier then frenziedly sprayed paint all over the restaurant.
The blue restaurant was dyed red once more…
The diners: “…”
The manager: “…”
…
Meanwhile, on the pedestrian street…
At this time, most of the ignorant masses had already dispersed from the area. In contrast, those in the know had e running over to participate in the interactive event. They stood on the sidelines, cheering excitedly.
There was even someone that hauled a loudspeaker over, using it to play Deja Vu as the battlefield’s background music.
Of the crowd gathered, a dozen or so people had formed groups that ran between the donation group and bullet ment group. They did so to experience the refreshing feeling of having paint sprayed all over their bodies.
“UP! You’re the ruler of the world!”
“My lord! Shoot! Shoot me quickly!”
“Cover us in paint!”
Holding his forehead, Chen Yu asked, “Did you guys get addicted?”
Takka, takka, takka…
Despite his plaint, Chen Yu still raised his pistols and dyed these people in blue.
“Ptui. Awesome!”
After spitting out the harmless paint, the group dashed toward the red team’s side of the battlefield.
“Shoot us!”
“Blast us!”
“Haha…”
[This looks so damned fun.]
[Hahahaha…]
[I want to play as well!]
[Crap! I can’t get in anymore! They blocked off the area!]
[You can still enter through the sewer! Hurry!]
[I envy you people in Shanghai.]
[Thost taking photographs at the scene, make sure not to upload your photos online. You’ll have your IP blocked.]
[Nintendo really is a genius. They actually managed to make such an exciting game.]
[Will it enter production next year?]
[More like a hundred years later! I need to stay healthy so that I can play it once before I die.]
As more paint continued covering the battlefield, the donation group, which launched a pre-emptive strike at the start of the battle, gradually expanded their advantage.
However, as more time passed, the youths among the bullet ment group discovered more and more secrets relating to the game. For example, they could submerge into allied paint, heal themselves up by having allies spray paint over them, and use their death paint to injure their enemies.
When the battle had reached its seventh minute, the scales of victory began reversing under the bullet ment group’s struggles.
At this time, however, a daring short-haired girl in short jeans quietly snuck up to the metal console, pulled out one of the unopened drawers, and grabbed the green bodysuit inside. She then put the bodysuit on.
Poof!
As the smoke spread, the girl had also transformed into a chibi version of herself.
“Huh? Hahaha!”
Growing overjoyed, the girl raised her submachine gun and pulled the trigger.
Takka, takka, takka…
Streaks of green paint shot out of the nozzle and dyed the other colored paints green.
Following this, the cloud timer in the sky reset to 10 minutes.
[A third side has joined the battle. bat time extended.]
“What the?” Chen Yu was stunned. Subconsciously, he approached the girl and asked, “How did you-”
Takka! Takka! Takka!
Before Chen Yu could finish his question, the girl pulled the trigger without hesitation and shattered Chen Yu.
“Yay(#^.^#)!” The girl cheered. “I killed the UP!”
Seeing this, the surrounding spectators instantly went crazy and dashed forward.
The fastest and closest four people quickly snatched the remaining green bodysuits available and put them on.
Poof, poof, poof…
After the white smoke dissipated, four more players joined the green team, pleting the team.
“Kill!” The girl’s enlarged head flushed with excitement. She then charged into the battlefield while recklessly firing her submachine gun.
The four other people also started excitedly spraying paint all over…
“Crap! I almost got one!”
“I was so close to falling into the abyss of happiness…”
The viewers that arrived late grew so frustrated that they wished to kill themselves.
[How bold! Aren’t they afraid that the host will get angry?]
[It’s an interactive event. Why would the host get angry if it improves the stream’s performance?]
[Getting to play the game once is worth dying for!]
[I’ve been wondering whether it’s alright to steal the third group’s bodysuit since a while ago.]
[The battlefield has bee even more chaotic now…]
…
Ding!
The elevator of a hotel opened, and a couple walked out of it while holding hands. When they saw the lobby covered in red and blue paint, they could not help but be shocked.
“W-What is going on?”
“Are they renovating?”
“How can there be such a renovation?”
“Darling, I’m scared. Is this a lunatic’s doing?” The woman seized this opportunity and revealed a pitiful expression.
“Don’t be scared.” The man cooperated with his partner’s act and hugged her. While caressing the woman’s head, he said, “Even if there’s a lunatic here, I’ll protect you.”
“You’re the best, hubby!”
In the next moment, someone abruptly kicked the lobby’s glass doors open, and five crazed big-headed dolls ran into the lobby.
“Here! Paint over everything!”
“Roar!”
The five animated characters cheered and fired their weapons.
Takka! Takka! Takka!
Takka!
The lobby quickly became dyed in green.
The guests standing before the front desk had long since grown numb to this situation. After wiping off the green paint on their faces, they gently cursed, “Goddammit.”
“The Elevator! Paint the elevator as well!”
The girl on the green team manded.
Takka, takka, takka…
Boom!
Blobs of paint flew past the “frail” and “pitiful” couple one after another, exploding inside the elevator behind them.
“Pull back!”
After the five big-headed dolls left, the couple looked at each other in astonishment.
“D-Darling, you’re green.”
“You’re green as well…”
With the participation of a third force, the situation on the small battlefield became even more intense.
Red, blue, and green paint flew all over the place, dyeing the ground, walls, store lobbies, surrounding onlookers, and sewers in their respective colors. Even a few police helicopters that flew at a low altitude failed to escape the chaos…
9…
8…
The cloud timer in the sky started counting down the last 10 seconds.
Seeing this, the three teams stopped holding back and started using up all their ammunition and stockpiled grenades. Some players even deliberately ran into enemy fire, taking advantage of their death explosions to cover a large area in paint.
Boom!
Boom!!
“Suicide! Kill yourselves!”
Boom, boom, boom…
The battle instantly heated up.
1!
Conquest over!
Calculating results!
