CHAPTER 59: CHAPTER 59 ZHAO MING: SO MUCH EMOTION VALUE? [THE IMPERIAL LAST AIRSTRIKE]
Great Xia Federation, North.
Songgel Ice Field.
Seventh Special Operations Brigade, Special Battalion One Meeting Room.
[White Reaper]
This scenario lasted for a total of 14 days within the game.
In reality, more than two days have passed.
The mental impact on these soldiers, however, is hard to dispel.
people.
of them never saw the enemy’s appearance.
Only the last soldier saw them.
Proving that guy wasn’t a ghost, but that’s precisely what made it more frustrating.
Northern Army of the Great Xia Federation.
The special operations elites who are stationed in the north year-round, dealing with ice and snow.
In a map of snowy terrain.
An NPC with a sniper rifle killed 300 people, and if it weren’t for exposing himself, even the last soldier wouldn’t have pinpointed where that enemy was.
It’s not that no one questioned the rationality of this scenario and the NPC.
Shen Yan had his doubts.
But Zhao Ming sent a video to Shen Qinghan, who watched it and told Shen Yan it was completely reasonable.
Shen Yan fell silent.
Shen Qinghan wouldn’t lie to him, and she said it based on Zhao Ming’s video.
This shows complete overpowering in terms of skill; how can one NPC be so absurd?
Shen Yan recalled the aces of various military districts of Great Xia Federation, or other federations’ elite units, not a single top sniper could reach such a level.
Who was this NPC modeled after?
Even after pondering for a long time, he couldn’t figure it out.
Shen Yan looked at everyone in the meeting room and spoke:
"Why has everyone gone silent?"
"Still doubting the authenticity of this scenario?"
He completely trusted Shen Qinghan.
But the people under him maintained skepticism about such an absurd NPC.
Besides Battalion Commander Liu Feng, the rest were company commanders.
Company Commander Qin Xu spoke:
"Commander... Could you show us the perspective video of Simon Hayer so we can take a look?"
Shen Yan was amused but angry, slammed the table:
"Show you?"
"Lose in the game, you can research and win it back."
"What about reality?"
"Tell that to the special operations elites of the Slavic Federation!"
"Show us your tactics, plans, training?!"
"Go tell the armored aces of Antarctic Star Federation!"
"Show us your equipment, weapons, missiles?!"
"Losing isn’t shameful; being unable to take a loss is!"
"If everything is readily available for you to study, then what are you even here for?!"
Liu Feng glared at Qin Xu, quickly spoke:
"Commander, he didn’t mean that...."
Shen Yan replied coldly:
"Then what did he mean?"
"Isn’t it just questioning the rationality?"
"What, even my proof isn’t enough?"
"If there’s no problem, then there’s no problem."
"If you can’t beat the NPC, find the reason in yourself."
"I stayed up for two nights outside without sleep."
"Why couldn’t 300 people stuck in the camp come up with a good response tactic?"
"Where’s the energy of shouting during training? The slogans resonate, but the actual performance is like this?"
"I think this scenario is very good."
"Next, every battalion will rotate through training."
"Great Xia Federation, Northern Army, elite troops stationed for years at Songgel Ice Field! Let an NPC slaughter them on a snowy map without leaving a single one alive!"
"Embarrassing!!!"
"All of you train, train well and find an opportunity to teach those Slavic Federation folks a lesson."
Friction among the Six Major Federations mostly results in localized conflicts.
They don’t resort to missiles as weapons.
Thermal imaging is useful but not widely effective.
With technology from each federation, they’ve long developed clothing to counter thermal imaging. Despite various restrictions, the combat power of border forces remains the focus.
Seventh Special Operations Brigade often faces clashes with the Slavic Energy Federation.
Thus, in Shen Yan’s view, this [White Reaper] scenario is an ideal training ground.
No need to hope everyone trains to the level of the NPC; just having a few reach half of it would be amazing—and dealing with those foes would be easy.
Using sheer skill to overpower, even if they have complaints, they’d have to swallow them.
Under Shen Yan’s orders, Seventh Special Operations Brigade began strategizing tactical responses.
Special Battalion One resumed after two days of rest.
A collective analysis within the brigade brought together tactical insights, and as the first battalion, they re-entered the game.
Inside the game room.
Liu Feng discussed the upcoming tactical responses:
"Once we enter the scenario."
"Everyone immediately aim and shoot towards the nine o’clock direction for suppressive fire."
"Company Three fetch all arms and equipment from the barracks..."
"Company Two..."
"Company One..."
After detailing the tactics, Liu Feng saw everyone ready and started the session.
The scene flickered before everyone’s eyes.
[White Reaper]
Large letters gradually lit up, followed by the scenario unfolding.
But it left everyone confused.
Boom!
One soldier on the edge got headshot.
[299/300]
Liu Feng shouted:
"Hide!"
Everyone quickly found nearby trees and hid behind them.
Indeed... behind trees.
This wasn’t a camp but a little grove at the foot of a mountain, with scattered trees and many cut trees leaving stumps where soldiers hid.
Liu Feng, Fang Hui, and others silently cursed.
For damn’s sake....
Whole two days of studying camp maps, terrain, tactics....
How could it be a random map?!
Shit!!!
A bad feeling rose in everyone’s mind.
[Emotion Value +2596]
[Emotion Value +2882]
[Emotion Value +....]
Inside Polestar Game Company.
Zhao Ming watched the beginning of [White Reaper] and the frustrated expressions of everyone, and couldn’t help but laugh.
Hmm, need more training....
Where’s the time for thorough research; randomness tests adaptability more.
Earlier he had wondered where this surge in Emotion Value came from.
Since the [Battle of Britain] scenario’s bombing on both sides had been yielding stable Emotion Values, no trending criticisms online.
This sudden spike in Emotion Values found its source now.
Viewing the extra Emotion Value, Zhao Ming exchanged detailed data from the [Earth Database] on the [Bloody Battle of Sanshuli] Theater, weather, and both sides’ equipment.
Rendering them allows Shen Qinghan to contact the Northern Army.
One side plays as Republic soldiers, ordered to rush Sanshuli to block the US Army, while the other plays as the United States of America’s mechanized unit preparing to retreat, both making up Great Xia Federation’s troops.
But Zhao Ming estimated that the blockade probably won’t succeed.
Because historically it took extreme conditions to manage barely five minutes faster than the enemy.
Trying this scenario for the first time, how could Great Xia Federation troops anticipate nonstop rushing through 145 miles overnight to reach the blocking site.
Start with letting them try it out.
Once they’ve been sufficiently challenged.
Exchange for the solution on how to successfully block.
Meanwhile, the Northern Army hasn’t finished with [White Reaper]; after [Battle of Britain], pass on to Shen Qinghan to inform the Northern Army.
Currently, the [Battle of Britain] story scenario, after some progress.
Has reached the mid-to-late stage.
The Imperial is attempting one last large-scale air raid on London.
