Chapter 965
Chapter 965: Chapter 899: Smearing Tactics_1 Chapter 965: Chapter 899: Smearing Tactics_1 Red Dust was bewildered.
So was the opponent.
The resurrected qualifying teams were confused too.
The netizens watching the live broadcast were also dumbfounded.
…
Everyone was in a daze, only Lincoln and Mavis were amazed.
To be honest, he also didn’t expect a nuclear explosion to occur in such a situation.
In his estimation, a nuclear blast might occur during the struggle for the “Sword of Heaven”, in a battle within the Public World, or even in a duel within “Testing the Sword”….
He had mentally prepared for all of this.
The only thing he didn’t anticipate was the explosion happening first during [Freedom Day], which had nothing to do with Chang’an.
But the spectacle was no less impressive.
After the ten teams advancing to the next round were confirmed, the map was supposed to shut down as per the original plan.
But seeing the live-streaming room full of question marks, Lincoln had Mavis pitch in, showing everyone a slow-motion video clip that clearly demonstrated the fission and explosion processes of the two Uranium Swords.
Only then did he return broadcasting rights to the director.

As a professional, the director smoothly switched to another match to continue the live broadcast despite the shock of the unexpected incident.
However, in the live-streaming room, the topic of discussion among the viewers did not change at all.
They were still discussing the nuclear explosion.
Not only debating in the live-stream room, but also on various player forums and social networking sites, GIFs and short video clips of the nuclear explosion were spreading like wildfire, instantly sparking a heated discussion–
“The ‘Sword of Heaven’ is actually made of uranium!”
“No wonder the master holding it in his hand would lose blood!
Turns out it wasn’t a cursed sword, it’s the damn nuclear radiation!?”
“Can human power create a nuclear explosion?
This is ridiculous!”
“Does this mean that everyone who gets the ‘Sword of Heaven’ is potentially a nuclear explosion Sword Immortal?”
“The two people in this match already are!”
“It’s just a shame that it’s one-time use.
I see that all they have left in their hands are the hilt, probably unable to repair.”
“Shit, a Sword Immortal?”
“No, unless one person has two swords, otherwise they need to collaborate, so they can only be considered half a nuclear explosion Sword Immortal.”
“I got it!
Half-step Sword Immortal!”
…
“Bloody hell, a half-step Sword Immortal!” Super Tomato complained, “Shouldn’t this thing be restricted a bit?”
He had been watching the competition broadcast when he couldn’t hold back anymore seeing this comment.
Viewers were puzzled: “Restricted?
But why?”
“The damage of this thing is seriously overkill.
As soon as it is used, it becomes an ‘all-clear’ effect.
Fairness is very questionable, right?”
“Besides, once it is used, it will be destroyed.
It’s like using a permanent item as a one-time use.
It’s somewhat wasteful.”
In the end, he couldn’t help saying: “If I had known that this thing could cause a nuclear explosion, I would have snatched one no matter what!”
The viewers had different opinions:
“I don’t want restrictions, I just want to see a nuclear explosion.
Let’s have one in Metropolis too!”
“Considering Lincoln’s stir-up-trouble personality, I suspect that apart from [Peaceful World], there are no restrictions in the remaining areas…”
“No need to make it so complicated, right?
There are a total of 196 ‘Sword of Heaven’, now there are still 194 left, so we can still explode…97 times!
Damn, that’s a lot!”
…
“If the official won’t restrict it, then we will!”
Super Tomato suddenly got in the mood, and started editing a post on the forum, with the title—
[Virtual World Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty!]
…
Elsewhere, Red Dust walked out of the blacksmith’s shop, staring at the Heavenly Falling Sword in his hand, melted down to just the hilt, with tears welling up in his eyes.
He had made it through the first round, but his sword was now useless.
Compared with this agonising loss, he truly preferred elimination…
As for those who competed with him and failed to qualify because they died in the nuclear explosion, they received a notification from Cloud Dream, granting them a second chance.
The remaining 194 “Nuclear Sword” holders took out their treasured swords, reacquainted themselves with these weapons, and had a mind to connect with the other “Nuclear Sword” holders.
Chasing Wind was no different.
Relying on luck and “Money Comes,” he worked hard for seven days before he finally managed to snatch a Heavenly Falling Sword.
He would not let it explode easily.
But whether to use it or not, the most urgent matter was to ensure that he could use it when he needed, so the most important thing now was to get to know other [Sword Holders] quickly, to avoid not finding someone to cooperate with when he wants to set off a nuclear explosion.

The player community was abuzz.
After watching the commotion for a while, Lincoln hugged Camille Victoria, suggesting that she should log off early to rest, and then hugged Mavis to show fairness, and then he also went to bed early.
The next morning, Little Princess ran over early and had a meal with Lincoln in the Aerospace Center.
Then, she accompanied him to work.
However, Lincoln planned to go to the “Chang’an” team today, instead of the Pacific Rim project team.
A week had passed, and the task line for the second chapter had been developed and was ready for his review.
And this review process was quite time-consuming.
The task line of the second chapter seemed to be just one, but it was quite long.
In addition to the players following their uncle in Chang’an City for “counter-terrorism” and looking for infiltrators in Wolf Guard as part of the story, there was also a storyline involving various assassins and heroic figures entering the city trying to assassinate Anloshan.

Wu Di’s missing master will also reappear.
Aside from the players and all these local heroic figures wanting to kill Anloshan, there was a third party force too.
In chapter one, the Five Elements Great Formation that was broken by the players, in subsequent stories, was found to be a method used by Yang Guozhong to try to curse and kill Li Linfu.
Though the players broke the formation, it was too late, as Li Linfu was already critically ill.
In the second chapter, players had the opportunity to find out the continuation of this task line: Li Linfu had also set up a formation in Chang’an.
He had a chance to use this formation to protect himself, but he gave it up.
He kept the flag used to control the formation as a powerful trump card.
The goal was only one: to kill Anloshan!
In the end, all these storylines will come together to form the grand climax.
In addition to the storyline, the updates for some sub-profession gameplay have also been completed, and are all set to be packaged together.
The specifics include a professional [Horse Racing] league, a [Wine Brewing] sommelier competition, a [Blacksmith] sword casting competition, a [Tailor] beauty pageant… and so on.
For these large-scale competitions, Cloud Dream will invite celebrities and experts from corresponding sectors in reality to serve as judges, providing a chance for players who want to deepen their learning or move towards real-world developments.
This will significantly enrich the sub-professional gameplay, providing more playable content for casual players.
Once all these are done, if time permits, he plans to tidy up the storyline of “Gravity”.
Henry previously told him that in order to confuse American intelligence agencies, he’d begun looking for their spy satellites in space as a ruse.
This sentence gave him an idea.
In the original story of “Gravity,” the root cause of all disasters was Russia destroying a decommissioned spy satellite with a missile.
The resulting explosion debris destroyed a large number of spacecraft and affected the protagonist, leading to the subsequent series of events.
This time, Lincoln planned to pin the blame on America.
Actually, he didn’t know if there really was a spy satellite monitoring the Third Machinery Factory.
But it didn’t matter.
——Whether there was one or not, he was going to pin this on them!
