Chapter 356: Is this a 40k damage value?_2
```
But the downside is that it basically has no defensive capabilities whatsoever.
Even a level 20 gunman could shoot him in the forehead, and he'd drop dead on the spot.
If he were to be surrounded and beaten by a group of lifestyle occupation players without fighting back, he would be beaten to death within ten minutes.
In secret realms or in combat with others, this person must ensure that he kills the opponent as quickly as possible, preferably without giving them a chance to fight back, otherwise once the opponent counterattacks, he is certainly the one who would die.
It could be said that every battle was like dancing on the edge of a knife.
When it comes to head-on combat, and especially when it involves battles with more than one person, such as legion battles, this person could basically only hide in the back and watch the action unfold. A single AOE attack covering him would mean he'd be dead without a trace.
But... in this type of competition measuring damage against a wooden stake puppet, and with the stipulation of a short time frame.
There was no one more suitable in the entire Firefly Civilization than this person.
Although, in the whole Firefly Civilization, this person's combat power ranking was not the highest, his ability to cause damage in an instant was definitely at the top.
"You."
The leader of the Firefly Civilization looked at this man, then to the other players around him, and said, "You, you, and you, you five will participate in this competition. Try to take all top three spots."
These five were not the top five in the combat power rankings of the Firefly Civilization, but were the five people who could cause the most damage in the shortest amount of time.
He was 1920th in the Federation combat power rankings, but he could take on the position of a leader because that role did not require one to be the strongest on the planet.
After all, being the strongest meant maintaining one's position every day, which would definitely require a lot of time and energy, leaving no time to manage trivial matters.
But as a leader,
he needed to thoroughly understand everyone's unique traits within the civilization, so that he could deploy the most suitable people at the most appropriate times.
...
Soon.
The ten players sent from both civilizations stood on the central stage of the arena.
On the Blue Star side, the federal leaders consulted Chen Miao for his opinion, and after confirming his participation, they sent Chen Miao and four other players who could cause significant damage in a short period to go up.
In the center of the arena,
there was a wooden stake puppet placed in the middle of a huge platform.
Above the wooden stake puppet, there was a ten-second countdown, with a panel also floating in mid-air.
"After the countdown ends, please have the player 'Wang Zifa' from the Blue Star Civilization step forward and use his strongest method within 3 seconds, aiming at the wooden stake," read the announcement.
"..."
Chen Miao, leaning on his cane in the middle of the platform, glanced around. The arena was packed with players, resembling an anthill, and it was unclear whether this was a place created out of thin air,
or if there truly existed such a place in the universe,
capable of accommodating so many players to watch the battle at the same time.
At this moment—
"Boom!!!"
With the countdown over, the player from Blue Star Civilization suddenly created nearly a hundred doppelgängers around himself, each holding a short arrow, plunging straight into the wooden stake as their bodies turned into black smoke.
The full-force strike from nearly a hundred doppelgängers looked incredibly exaggerated.
And as the 3-second countdown quickly ended, a panel popped up in the air.
'Player': Blue Star, Wang Zifa.
'Damage': 1420.
"Phew..."
This attack clearly took a lot of effort from the player, who was a bit out of breath as he moved from the center of the platform to stand respectfully and cautiously beside Chen Miao, nodding slightly before quietly taking his place behind Chen Miao.
The damage value: 1420.
Chen Miao looked at the damage value without speaking; he could not judge whether the value was high or low, but if he went by his past experiences, this damage value would definitely be too low.
But obviously, the puppet must have had a high defense.
"Boom!"
```
While he was thinking, a player from the Firefly Civilization had already stepped forward.
"Player": Firefly, Qi Mi.
"Damage": 3202.
The damage inflicted was clearly not just one level higher; it was more than double—nearly a threefold difference.
"How about that?"
At this moment, a player from the Firefly Civilization, a young man wearing a duckbill cap, walked up to him with arms folded and a teasing smile: "I hear you're quite famous, heard quite a few people discussing your name."
"They say you have a combat power of 1.4 billion, say you're the god of Blue Star."
"Do you think your Blue Star can win against us Firefly?"
"Forgot to tell you, the Firefly player who just took his turn is merely the weakest amongst us, but it seems he's several times stronger than your Blue Star Civilization, doesn't it?"
"..."
Chen Miao was momentarily at a loss for words; he didn't understand why this person had suddenly come over to mock him—it really was strange, looking more like a clown performing his act. He decided not to hold back and took his turn.
He became the second player from Blue Star to go.
Standing in the middle of the platform.
He still raised his silver-white pistol, aimed it at the puppet in the center of the platform, and slowly pulled the trigger.
But this time he did not activate the Grade B skill Sky Full of Blossoms; although the skill allowed him to inflict more damage in a short period, it had a drawback—once used, that weapon could not be used again for 24 hours.
And there were a total of 18 chances; using his trump card at the start would make the subsequent path very complicated.
Fortunately—
After the D-grade civilization promotion battle ended, he had fused three unique firearm skins with the Grade S item Cup of Equity, significantly enhancing the power and speed of his bullets.
Even without using the skill, he could still unleash formidable power.
Of course... it was quite expensive.
In the blink of an eye.
A dozen dazzling laser columns shot straight towards the wooden stake puppet, and in the span of three seconds, a panel appeared in mid-air.
"Player": Blue Star, Chen Miao.
"Damage": 39202.
A whopping near 40k damage value; the total damage values of the two previous players combined didn't even reach a quarter of his.
Chen Miao looked at the panel before him, his mouth twitching slightly, clearly very dissatisfied with the damage value—how could it be only 40k? He had just spent Star Coins to buy fifteen rounds of ammunition.
He had spent a total of 15 million Star Coins.
And that was the damage value he got?
Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire
While the Cup of Equity was indeed a powerful weapon, its only drawback was that using ultimate moves was free, while a regular shot would cost 1 million Star Coins. If he hadn't wanted to win this Grade S secret realm, he would never have spent 15 million Star Coins.
It was truly too expensive.
What he didn't see was that, the moment the damage value appeared, the face of the Firefly Civilization player who had come to provoke him turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Are you kidding me?
That's 40k damage?
Just a few casual shots? Since when was the Gunman Profession so strong? But they don't have Gunman players in their civilization, do they?
The problem was, although he was a bit stronger than the first Firefly Civilization player, he didn't think there was a tenfold difference, which meant, unless something unexpected happened, he was most likely unable to surpass Chen Miao.
For this first event, the Firefly Civilization might lose the first place.
But it was still okay...
Soon, the skinny man with the duckbill cap figured it out—the other participating players from Blue Star Civilization certainly wouldn't match up to the participants from Firefly Civilization.
After all, the heritage of an established civilization was still there.
First place only awarded 5 points.
Second and third place combined awarded 4 points.
Not much difference, just 1 point less. As long as Chen Miao couldn't get first place in every event, the ultimate outcome of this Grade S secret realm would still be their victory. Although the process might be convoluted, the end result would certainly be beautiful.
