Chapter 1783: Cheer
Skill 6?
The moment Lin Qiye saw this line of text, his heart tightened once again.
Among the BOSS skills they had initially surveyed, Skill 6 [True Love Cheer]'s description was marked as "Unknown." Now, a judgment icon had suddenly appeared, catching him off guard... He knew that if anything went wrong with him now, with one member of their three-person team dead and another imprisoned, it would be game over.
Lin Qiye stared at Aimeimei on stage, his spirits soaring to the highest level of concentration!
"Skill 6 [True Love Cheer]: When Aimeimei requires cheer support, all targets within the venue must simultaneously perform the correct cheer movements and shout the corresponding chants, otherwise they will be instantly wiped out at 100% health, entering a death state (Before each cheer, the audience will perform a demonstration);"
Reading this floating skill description, Lin Qiye froze in place.
Perform movements and shout slogans? What kind of bizarre skill was this?
Just as Lin Qiye was愣神, the entire venue's audience raised their glow sticks and fan banners, moving in perfect unison as if they had rehearsed this countless times!
"Aimeimei, Aimeimei, you're the most beautiful!!"
"Aimeimei, Aimeimei, you're the best!!"
"Ten miles of spring breeze can't compare to you, iMi follows the light forever!"
As the chants rang out, all the fans rhythmically waved their glow sticks, interspersed with heart-making gestures and thumbs-up motions, leaving Lin Qiye completely bewildered.
Though he had never seen a cheer event in his life, it didn't prevent him from memorizing all the movements and slogans... As the second round of cheering began, Lin Qiye endured the shame burning in his heart and quietly recited the cheer words while repeating the movements.
At this moment, Lin Qiye wanted nothing more than to kill Guan Zai.
What the hell had this guy been studying all day besides writing code?!
—Skill 6 [True Love Cheer] Judgment in progress... Judgment failed.
When this line of text floated above Lin Qiye's head, he finally exhaled in relief... but the next moment, as if thinking of something, his pupils slightly contracted.
He abruptly turned to look in the direction where Yuzuri Takishiro had vanished, murmuring to himself:
"Oh no..."
...
Meanwhile.
Underground of the concert venue.
In the dim and cramped Dungeon, Yuzuri Takishiro rubbed his dizzy head and slowly stood up.
"So this is a Dungeon..." He surveyed his surroundings, deep in thought.
This was a prison cell approximately five square meters in size. All five planes were brick walls, except for one side which faced outward—that side was made of steel bars. Through the gaps in the bars, he could see the scenery beyond the Dungeon.
Yuzuri Takishiro gripped the long blade in his hand and struck one of the walls with force, but couldn't leave even a scratch.
He reversed the blade's edge and slashed violently at the steel bars, only for the recoil to send the blade flying from his grip.
"Everything in this cell is indestructible... It seems impossible to escape on my own." Yuzuri Takishiro squinted outward. Beyond appeared to be an independent underground space, but due to the dim lighting, he couldn't make out what lay within.
He sighed and sat down helplessly in the Dungeon. "Since I can't escape on my own, I'll have to rely on my teammates to save me... I wonder how Seven Ye is doing now."
The moment he finished speaking, a line of small text floated above his head. He looked up in confusion:
—Skill 6 [True Love Cheer] Judgment in progress...
"Skill 6?" Upon seeing these words, Yuzuri Takishiro's heart sank, but after waiting for a long while, the text showed no other changes.
Judgment—did it really take this long?
Just as he疑虑, another line of small text appeared:
—Skill 6 [True Love Cheer] Judgment successful!
BOOM—!!
Yuzuri Takishiro's body exploded with a thunderous crack, crimson blood light splattering across the Dungeon.
Player Yuzuri Takishiro has died.
In the dim, lightless space behind the bars, a dark red panel floated in the void, silently ticking:
—10:00
—09:59
—...
...
Great Xia.
Golden Coast.
Xia Simeng wore a red and white sexy swimsuit, leisurely lying on the golden sand. In one hand she held a freshly cracked coconut, gently swaying it so the ice cubes inside clinked melodiously.
"Team Leader, aren't you coming down for a swim?" Vice-Team Leader Cao Sha, wearing swim trunks and a均匀ly tanned muscular build that secretly attracted countless glances from beauties on the beach, asked.
"I can't swim anyway, you all go ahead." Xia Simeng yawned, waving to the other team members playing in the water.
"Alright then, we'll go first."
Cao Sha nodded and walked straight toward the shoreline, where the other five members of [Phoenix] Squad were already standing in the sea water, splashing each other and laughing. The sparkling surface of the sea reflected their joyful faces.
Except for the vice-team leader, all members of [Phoenix] Squad were female. This group of tall, flawlessly proportioned beauties in swimsuits playing at the beach had drawn the attention of fully half the beach to them.
Xia Simeng seemed accustomed to this. She lay alone under the beach umbrella, beginning to rest peacefully.
BOOM—!!!
Just then, a thunderous roar erupted from the sea water!
The originally sparkling sea surface surged without warning, the explosive sound echoing across the entire coast, shocking everyone. Xia Simeng abruptly sat up from the sand—above the sea, the sky had already changed colors!
Above the distant sea surface, a massive head formed from coagulated seawater rose up, blotting out the entire sky.
The giant shadow spread madly along the coastline. Everyone on the beach stared blankly at this scene that resembled divine providence; for a moment, no one even remembered to flee...
"RUN!!!"
Without hesitation, Xia Simeng threw away the coconut in her hand and roared loudly. Only then did the nearby crowd snap back to their senses and flee terror-stricken toward the beach exit!
But the seawater was faster.
That sky-blocking sea head had no intention of giving anyone a chance to escape. Especially the [Phoenix] Squad members and other tourists standing in the water—they had not a moment to react before being swallowed by the waves.
Seeing this, Xia Simeng roared in fury. She stamped her bare feet hard into the sand and launched herself into the air like a cannon, throwing a punch at that sea head!
"Klein"-peak spiritual power erupted forth. This single punch gouged a massive hole in the sea head, but after briefly obstructing it, the opening was rapidly filled by seawater. The overwhelming mass pressed toward the coastline!
BOOM—!!
The sea head crashed onto the beach, suddenly opening its enormous mouth. Surging seawater swept nearly a thousand tourists on shore into its grasp, then rapidly retreated into the sea. The entire coastline fell deathly silent in an instant.
Though Xia Simeng had punched through the sea head's defenses and bounced back onto the water's surface, avoiding the waves entirely, her eyes remained fixed on that sea mass as it moved toward the border, her chest heaving.
"What kind of monster is this?! Give my teammates back to me!!"
Rather than seize the chance to flee, Xia Simeng dove headfirst into the churning water, vanishing swiftly with the underwater currents.
