All Novel Full Chapter 1039
Chapter 1039: Chapter 962 “I…
I am not willing to accept this!”_1 Chapter 1039: Chapter 962 “I…
I am not willing to accept this!”_1 Victoria wasn’t able to mount the dragon.
Instead, she was swallowed up in one gulp, and reincarnated at her checkpoint at the speed of light.
While she was making these two attempts, other players and streamers weren’t idle, all imitating her approach, trying to “smuggle” themselves into the New World.
So far, however, no one has succeeded.
One group perished in the stratosphere, another in the thunderstorm clouds, and yet another at the claws of the aerial predators.
No one could even get close to the surface.
To say nothing of landing on the Pandora Planet, no one had been able to survive the worlds behind any of the space-time shards.
Some attempted to enter the naval warfare world, but after crossing through the shard, before they could even speak with the captain, they were hit in their chest by a cannonball fired from God-knows-where, and blown to pieces in a massive explosion.
—To expect a person without any sea navigation experience to stand firmly on the deck amidst colossal waves and fierce winds is simply absurd!
Not to mention navigating through the waves and rain, amidst the sounds of gunfire and melee, to initially notice the enemy’s cannon fire.
Of course, theoretically, 17th-century sailing ships in these weather conditions were firing through random shots; whether they hit the enemy ship was completely up to luck, not to mention hitting an actual player.
But every single player that came through would be hit squarely by a cannonball; no one could escape!

This counter-intuitive situation let the players once again truly feel “Lincoln’s Malice”.
The other shards were of the same ilk:
Crossing into the [Corrupted Giant] world, before they had a chance to look at their surroundings, they were suddenly shrouded in a black fog, and then felt all their strength being rapidly sucked away, making even standing a struggle.
Within a minute, their strength and vitality would be completely drained, and they would fall dead with a bang.
Crossing into the [Lightsaber Dwarf] world, they did get a good look at a lot of things: it seemed to be a battle happening on another planet, with never-before-seen styles of architecture, robot models, and their weapons.
The lightsaber in the hands of the dwarf was particularly extraordinary.
It was not only sharp enough to slice through iron, but it could also reflect bullets!
And then the player would be killed by a bullet reflected off the lightsaber.
—It was entirely accidental.
The reflected bullet had pierced through a robot before it struck the player standing behind the robot.
As for those who crossed into the [Iron-Blooded Warrior] world, before any Iron-Blooded Warriors even had a chance to attack, the player would be impaled through the chest by a sharp claw, instantly dying.
…
Although these players also met with unfortunate ends, at least they knew how they died.
After preparing a bit, they were not lacking in the courage to fight again.
But there were other players who didn’t even know how they had died—
When White Frost wanted to go to Pandora, she accidentally got intercepted by another space-time shard and entered a strange world.
It was a tranquil forest, quiet, peaceful, beautiful.
She looked left and right, saw no danger, so she curiously took off her parachute bag and wing suit, planning to explore this new world.
The parachute bag landed with a “thud”.
The noise wasn’t loud, but due to the quiet environment of the forest, the landing sound was very obvious.
She struggled to remove her wing suit and also took off her helmet.
The moment she removed her helmet, White Frost suddenly heard the noises that had been blocked by the helmet—the sound of something moving quickly through the forest, stepping on grass, rustling leaves!
She turned around abruptly, only to see a blurred humanoid shadow roaring as it pounced at her.
The entire face was just a huge, bloody mouth!
The next moment, everything went black for her and she was reincarnated at the checkpoint.
“Ahh!!!”
After being reborn, White Frost screamed, clutching at her wildly beating heart, so scared that her hands and legs had gone weak, her whole body drained of strength.
She directly exited the game, returning to her virtual house.
She sat obediently on the sofa, watching as [Pandora Planet] slowly loaded, completely giving up on the adventure of trying to smuggle herself in.
She completely ignored those viewers who urged her to “go and explore again, we didn’t get a clear look”, pretending she didn’t see them at all.
—The viewers truly hadn’t seen clearly, even when replaying the live-stream recording, they could only see a blurred shadow.
That thing was just too fast!
…
…
Victoria was okay.
Even though she had been swallowed whole without any warning, it wasn’t the first time she had been eaten by a dinosaur.
Moreover, before she was eaten, she had a very clear view of the Phantom Dragon’s full appearance.
Facing such a massive creature, being swallowed wasn’t surprising at all.
With a certain psychological expectation, even if she was suddenly scared, after the initial shock passed she was calm, and there was no psychological shadow.
So, she persevered and proceeded with the third round.
When she entered the cockpit of the [Crimson Storm] with an oxygen tank, wing suit, parachute, and the heavy flamethrower and fuel cylinder, after a lot of fiddling, Shinshi looked at her in shock and asked, “Why are you taking all these things?”
“Ah?” Victoria was startled, unable to come up with a good reason, she could only stubbornly say: “Feels like they might come in handy.”
Luckily, unless specifically programmed, virtual characters won’t interfere with a player’s actions, so she was successful in taking all these items with her.
——Victoria had originally planned to bring a mortar launcher, which was indeed available at the base.
But after considering her falling speed and the aerial predator’s agility, she wisely abandoned this idea.
The more reliable choice was the continuous-firing flamethrower.
What followed next was familiar territory.
Because she had repeatedly fought the same battle, Victoria’s combat power had noticeably increased.
After swiftly handling [Swift Dragon] at the checkpoint, [Abomination] held its own in the underwater battle, even gaining some advantage.
When [Venomous Widow] made its appearance, the prepared [Eureka Raider] confronted her.
The two level-five creatures began their fierce fight.
If Victoria were to hone her combat skills a little more, she might be able to win without using a nuclear bomb.
But her mind was filled with thoughts of Pandora, she had no patience to wait, dragging along the half-damaged [Abomination], she jumped into the passageway.
After initiating the meltdown of the reactor core, Victoria threw Shinshi’s evacuation cabin into it, and hastily put on her wing suit, shouldered her parachute, and then with the fuel cannister cradled in her arms, squeezed into the evacuation cabin.
…
Another successful transition.
A rapid plummet, bypassing the thunderstorm cloud.
When the striking predator, with its yellow-red skin and black stripes, appeared again, Victoria already had a firm grip on her flamethrower.
Flames spurted out into the sky!
Due to her rapid descent, the violent flames left a long streak behind in the air.
Had the Phantom Dragon ever seen a creature that could spit fire?
It maintained a cautionary distance from Victoria, encircling her as she soared through the air.
Forced to, Victoria had to spin in circles with her flamethrower, spraying a spiralling torrent of fire descending from the sky!
Surrounding this “fire dragon” was another giant creature with fiery red skin, which was also spiralling downwards!
ονǤᴑ.сᴑ
The live-streamer community watching this highly-watchable spectacle cheered continuously.
Victoria was delighted—
“The flamethrower tactic is a huge success!
It daren’t approach me anymore!!”
However, as soon as her sentence ended, the output of her flamethrower drastically decreased, and the ten-feet-long fire dragon quickly began to reduce into a slender fire snake.
In the next moment, even the fire snake disappeared.
The flamethrower gave a final spasmodic cough, spewed out two tiny sparkles, and then completely ceased working.
It took Victoria a moment to realize—
The fuel in the compressed canister was used up.
The predator that had been following her without giving up—the Phantom Dragon, Toruk, Lion Dragon, Final Illusion—finally saw its opportunity, spread its magnificent wings, and pounced towards her once again!
Victoria, not accepting defeat, turned to look at the surface that seemed to be very close—
It was a coastline, with dense jungle on one side and the bright blue ocean on the other.
At her current altitude, she could even see several distinct blue sinkholes in the ocean, and suddenly appearing circular clearings in the dense jungle.
She thought she even saw some things on the coastline that didn’t seem to be natural formations.
But after the Phantom Dragon swooped towards her, her vision once again faded to black.
…
“So close!
Just a tiny bit away!!”
“Just a minuscule gap away!!!”
After failing for the third time, Victoria finally lost patience and became frustrated, “I was only a bit away from success!!”
Seeing this, the Room Administrator immediately tried to console her:
“It’s okay, you’re not a bit away, there’s still a long way to go…
Don’t worry about it.”
Seeing this comment, Victoria became more frustrated.
After some deep thought, she had a new idea: “What do you guys think, could I use a long spear that can be assembled, and with the speed from falling and the force behind it, kill this massive creature in one shot?”
Before everyone could contemplate the feasibility of her idea, a conspicuous message suddenly popped up:
[Don’t bother!
It’s loaded and you can login directly now!]
The live broadcast room instantly erupted in excitement:
“It’s loaded?
Let’s go!”
“I’m coming for my virtual wife!”
“I’ve just quit my job!
My retirement will start one month from now after completing the challenge!!”
“I am two months away from graduation!
Be it retiring after graduation or continuing as a suffering worker depends on this round!”
“Translator, translate!
What does the real road to financial freedom mean!!”
…
The audience count in the live broadcast room suddenly dropped by a third!
This clearly showed how strong the lure of Lincoln’s “wish” was!
Especially for those overseas players who weren’t able to purchase Pacific Rim, who could only sate their desires by watching the live stream, they now had a goal and furiously poured into the new world.
“Don’t dawdle, Yi!
Hurry up and login to check it out!” Room Administrator urged Victoria.
But Victoria hesitated, her unwillingness quite evident:
“I…
I can’t accept it!!”
“I was so close to succeeding!”
