#441 - Golden Cicada Thieves Group (2 in 1 order required)
As the game livestream progressed, G-chan began to reminisce about the features of the game's combat system that were showcased in the previous battle.
Having finished that exhilarating duel, she was actually somewhat lost in thought, her mind constantly replaying every wonderful moment from her battle with her master.
She turned her head towards the camera, took a deep breath, and said to the audience with great enthusiasm:
"Hello everyone, did you all see that? That battle with my master was truly magnificent and thrilling!"
"First of all, I've found that this game's combat system is very sophisticated. It not only requires skillful mastery of various unique martial arts, but also a thorough understanding of one's own inner strength cultivation."
"You see, in the first few rounds, although my moves were already very precise and sharp, I was still inferior to my master and was firmly suppressed by him."
After that, G-chan brought up the character's stats panel.
"This is because my inner strength cultivation had not yet reached the pinnacle. I couldn't fully integrate the 'true energy' within my body, so every killing move I used had a bit of rawness and stagnation, making it easy for my master to see through and seize the openings."
As G-chan spoke, she kept swiping on the character panel, as if her whole body was back in the heat of the intense battle.
"But that's okay, because the goal of game cultivation is to bring your inner strength cultivation to perfection. When I gradually entered the zone in the mid-game and finally mastered the mysteries of borrowing 'true energy', you all saw how swift, sharp, steady, and agile each move became, right? My punches and footwork instantly became as smooth as flowing clouds and water. Although I haven't completely suppressed my master yet, I can already confront him tit-for-tat and 'separate'!"
"And in the last ten or so rounds, when my whole being had become 'Lin Shui Hua Yun(临水化云: near water becomes cloud)' and 'seamless', and my inner strength cultivation had reached an unprecedented peak, each strike I made emitted a ' zheng zheng' sword aura, and suddenly broke through my master's defense that was hard to break as an expert!"
G-chan's tone gradually rose, and she couldn't help but swing a few punches and palms in the air, recreating the fighting spirit and ambition of the time.
After a brief aftertaste, the game livestream continued.
...
The night was dark, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, its bright moonlight outlining the silhouette of 'Mount Wuyin(雾隐山: Wuyin Mountain)' north of 'Linshui County'.
At the foot of the mountain, a large camp called 'Jianjia Pass' was built against the mountain, brightly lit and heavily guarded. Among the mountains of relief supplies piled up in the camp was 'Zhong Wuye's(钟无夜: Zhong Wuye)' target for this trip - the 'Golden Cicada' Thieves.
Previously, 'Zhong Wuye' had received information from an informant that the 'Golden Cicada' Thieves were coming here to commit a crime.
Late at night, 'Zhong Wuye', dressed in tight-fitting clothes, led the 'Liuli' Troupe warriors to sneak close to the foot of the mountain.
She made a gesture, and the members of the 'Liuli' Troupe quietly dispersed, preparing to launch a surprise attack.
The game popped up a prompt: [Infiltrate the camp without alarming the guards]
G-chan concentrated slightly and suddenly found that her field of vision had changed. She seemed to have transformed into a crow, flying high and overlooking the layout of the entire camp.
"Wow, so there's an aerial reconnaissance segment first!"
The barrage of comments complained: "What Assassin's Creed."
G-chan manipulated the crow's perspective to circle over the camp, observing the deployment of each key location as if she knew them like the back of her hand.
Sure enough, she soon found a group of scruffy, ' ferocious'-looking thieves gathering in a corner, who looked like members of the 'Golden Cicada' Thieves.
G-chan seized the opportunity to fly the crow all the way, taking in the terrain of the entire camp and the specific location of the thieves.
Finally, as the crow flew over a low wall, she quickly pressed a button. The screen darkened, and when she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the normal third-person perspective.
"It's amazing! This special perspective, modeled using the somatosensory pod equipment, makes the reconnaissance and tactical deployment segments incredibly cool!" G-chan said with emotion to the audience in the livestream.
"And in this way, we can know the entire battlefield in advance, laying the perfect foundation for the upcoming bandit suppression operation. It's just too wonderful!"
As soon as she finished speaking, 'Zhong Wuye', under G-chan's control, spun around and sneaked into the camp.
Her movements were as agile as a swallow, and she narrowly avoided wave after wave of guards all the way, penetrating deep into the hinterland in a smooth and flowing manner. Looking around, 'Zhong Wuye' found that the terrain here was extremely complex and varied, because it was originally a test site set up with various traps. He couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, secretly calling it bad luck, and had to be vigilant at all times, paying attention to his feet.
Sure enough, when taking a detour around a cave in the center of the camp, 'Zhong Wuye' suddenly felt his feet empty, and his whole body was covered by a giant net from the ground, hanging upside down in mid-air.
"I didn't expect there to be such a ' ground seam' trap, this level is really cunning!" G-chan exclaimed from the side. She was a little anxious, but immediately calmed down and manipulated 'Zhong Wuye' to unfold a series of actions: first, she threw the shuriken she carried with her backhand, accurately hitting the mechanism that held the trap. After the trap was released, 'Zhong Wuye' drew out the short sword from his waist, using it as a lever to support his body, and finally escaped the shackles after some maneuvering.
In this way, under G-chan's heroic command, 'Zhong Wuye' broke through countless traps: stepping on poisonous snake mines, bypassing lightning strikes, dodging shuriken mazes, using bamboo copters to cross illusions, and performing sword flying. These tests of martial arts, wisdom, and courage made the entire bandit suppression journey unprecedentedly thrilling. Until the end, 'Zhong Wuye' finally figured out the location of the 'Golden Cicada' Thieves' nest, waiting for one strike to bring these gangsters to justice.
...
The night breeze was gentle, and the bright moonlight outlined the silhouette of 'Mount Wuyin(雾隐山: Wuyin Mountain)' north of 'Linshui County'. In the 'Jianjia Pass' camp, a group of scruffy, ' ferocious'-looking thieves were gathering, who were the long-rumored 'Golden Cicada' Thieves.
They were all ' awe-inspiring', with a ' smart and unrestrained' look, steel knives hanging from their waists, and faces full of dust, with a bit of the demeanor of a chivalrous hero. The leader was a burly figure with a wild and unruly face, iron eyes, thick eyebrows and a beard, looking like an ambitious and ' dominate the world' chivalrous thief leader, who was the leader of the 'Golden Cicada' Thieves, 'Qin Huan'.
At this moment, the 'Liuli' Troupe warriors led by 'Zhong Wuye' had quietly approached the 'Golden Cicada' Thieves' base camp. G-chan manipulated 'Zhong Wuye' to dodge wave after wave of guards with agility, and was only a short distance away from 'Qin Huan'. She was about to order 'Zhong Wuye' to set up a battle formation and fight the 'Golden Cicada' Thieves to the death, but suddenly found that her manipulation perspective was obscured by a cloud of mist, gradually moving away.
When the mist dissipated, G-chan saw that she had turned into a small snake, lying not far from 'Qin Huan's(秦焕: Qin Huan)' desk, listening to what the thieves were saying.
"Brother, I heard that the 'full court of civil and military officials' are going to completely ' operate' on us with this relief operation. We have to act quickly!" A daring ' minion' said to 'Qin Huan'.
'Qin Huan' laughed loudly, his ' bold and unrestrained' voice deafening: "Good boy, did you think that I have been in the 'jianghu' for so many years and don't know the ' inside story'? I have long heard that the 'old thief Taishi' is taking this opportunity to ' borrow a knife' to get rid of our ' scourge'! Alas, he only has so little ability, and he dares to challenge the 'Golden Cicada' Thieves! He will be in for a treat later!"
As soon as 'Qin Huan' finished speaking, 'Zhong Wuye' had bravely rushed in and was fighting with the 'Golden Cicada' Thieves. G-chan was slightly distracted and felt that her perspective had returned to normal. She saw that 'Zhong Wuye' was agile and punched and kicked frequently, sweeping and hitting several ' minion' aside. However, as soon as she came up, she was surrounded by wolves, and more experts from the 'Golden Cicada' Thieves were provoked, and the scene instantly became chaotic.
"Heh, can you a group of guys with low martial arts and mediocre qualifications win half a chance from me, 'Qin Huan'?" 'Qin Huan' proudly shouted loudly, and slowly approached 'Zhong Wuye' while waving a giant axe, looking ' ferocious' and murderous. Seeing this, the 'Liuli' Troupe also rushed up and surrounded 'Qin Huan'.
'Zhong Wuye' did not dodge and bravely fought back.
She saw that her left-hand swordsmanship was exquisite, turning into a flickering sword shadow to greet her, constantly destroying the enemy's offensive; her right-hand palm wind was fierce, infiltrating the enemy's gaps.
In this advance and retreat, you come and I go, it actually evolved into a beautiful picture of 'heavenly essence and cloud temples, hitting and flying'.
Seeing such a good show, the audience in the livestream was also ' dumbfounded' and admired it.
The experts of the 'Golden Cicada' Thieves were also weakened by 'Zhong Wuye's(钟无夜: Zhong Wuye)' amazing technique, and felt that things were not as easy as they seemed. Only 'Qin Huan' remained calm and relied on the strength of his body to violently kill 'Zhong Wuye'.

After a few rounds, 'Zhong Wuye' was in a desperate situation, almost exhausted and would be defeated at any time.
The audience shouted: "Little 'Roubao' cheer up! Now is the time to use your strongest strike! Let the thieves see the power of your shocking sword!"
So 'Zhong Wuye', in the face of the 'Golden Cicada' Thieves' obstruction and ridicule, actually ' in one breath' transformed into a shocking sword energy, driving the 'true energy' to surround her, instantly soaring to an unprecedented high realm.
When the inner strength gathered into a hurricane, 'Zhong Wuye' suddenly raised her sword and shouted wildly, and the shocking sword light bloomed, turning into thousands of sword shadows and slashing towards 'Qin Huan'! This sword was invincible and ' mighty'! In an instant, 'Qin Huan's(秦焕: Qin Huan)' arrogance was also suppressed by this amazing sword.
"Stop, stop! I lost, I lost!" Seeing the shocking sword power approaching, 'Qin Huan' was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and finally fled in a panic at the critical moment, and shouted loudly before leaving: "Stinky girl, you can succeed for a while, and in a month or two I will recruit troops again and fight you again! But you also have to be careful, the 'old thief Taishi' is cooperating with you, and he will ' pit' you sooner or later!"
After defeating the thieves, 'Qin Huan' and others were all arrested.
...
In the center of the camp, there were towering mountains of supplies, tightly bound with ropes, with the words "Imperial Disaster Relief Supplies" written on them. 'Zhong Wuye' looked around and couldn't help but feel suspicious. She clearly remembered that when she arrived here, 'Taishi Bo' had repeatedly instructed them not to open and check such supplies without authorization, and there was a hint of hidden threat in his words.
Logically speaking, 'Zhong Wuye' has always been law-abiding and rarely disobeys the orders of her superiors. However, this time, her heart was filled with a strange sense of unease and curiosity, as if a voice was calling her to uncover the mysterious veil. So, she resolutely stepped forward with her sword, and as the sword light flashed, a large box was ' forcibly' split open.
When the dust that rushed towards her dissipated, 'Zhong Wuye' saw that the box was not filled with disaster relief rations, but with strange-shaped night clothes and shiny private soldier weapons. Those cold steel products shone with a ' ghastly' cold light in the faint sunlight, making people feel inexplicably afraid.
'Zhong Wuye's(钟无夜: Zhong Wuye)' heart tightened, and 'Taishi Bo's(太史博: Taishi Bo)' ' grinning' face flashed in her mind. Although she had many doubts about that person, it was not until she saw such a scene with her own eyes that she completely believed that all this was a carefully planned scam.
At this moment, a deafening sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from outside the camp, like the prelude to an impending storm.
Sure enough, 'Taishi Bo's(太史博: Taishi Bo)' entourage of personal soldiers entered in a mighty array, fully armed and exuding an unparalleled ' fierce' aura, surrounding the 'Liuli' Troupe. 'Taishi Bo' personally rode forward, his eyes ' sinister', looking like a condescending judge.
"Tsk tsk tsk, isn't this the imperial traitor 'Zhong Wuye'? You are really ' have great power', you have even deceived the eyes of my important minister of the imperial court." 'Taishi Bo' said sarcastically, his lips twisted into a cruel arc. He changed his tone and began to enumerate 'Zhong Wuye's(钟无夜: Zhong Wuye)' actions: "You ignored my admonitions and opened the supplies without authorization, which is really unforgivable! What's more, with your 'Liuli' Troupe's ' demon power' and ' cunning plan', you have caused chaos in the 'Linshui County' 'Nightmare Disaster', resulting in the tragic death of countless innocent people! How can such a major crime be lightly forgiven?"
'Zhong Wuye' was shocked on the spot, she never expected that 'Taishi Bo', who had respected her so much before, would suddenly turn against her!
'Zhong Wuye's(钟无夜: Zhong Wuye)' face was livid, and her heart was filled with all kinds of feelings, but she didn't say a word.
'Taishi Bo' seemed to see through her thoughts and added in a ' ferocious' voice: "There is no need to quibble, the imperial court has long grasped the ' conclusive' evidence of your gang's crimes! Today is the day you will be executed, so you should obediently surrender and resist less!"
Before he finished speaking, bursts of tearing air suddenly sounded, like thunder in the ears.
In just a few breaths, dozens of extremely fast black shadows appeared in the sky above the camp, followed by a group of mysterious warriors in black robes descending from the sky, surrounding 'Taishi Bo's(太史博: Taishi Bo)' troops. Their masks were embroidered with blood-colored rose patterns, and the steel knives in their hands were ' cold', and their actions were extremely fierce, and they did not look like good people at all.
While 'Taishi Bo's(太史博: Taishi Bo)' troops were still at a loss, the group of men in black had already made a swift move, and with a wave of their hands, they had torn a huge gap in the military formation! The imperial guards retreated in defeat, with cries of misery, and had no power to fight back. Seeing this, 'Zhong Wuye' felt the unease in her heart swell like a snowball, almost suffocating her.
"Oh my god, it's the 'Nightmare Disaster', the 'Nightmare Demons' are here again!"
But soon, an even more tragic and terrifying fight began in the camp. As if echoing the group of killer-like men in black, the fog in the center of the camp began to ' hazy' and ' surging and roaring like a magic circle'. When the fog dissipated, countless 'Nightmare Demons' ' ferocious' figures rushed out, roaring deafeningly.
They transformed into streaks of black shadows, rampaging through the camp, sweeping aside anyone or anything that stood in their path! Taishi Bo's personal guards had never experienced such a large-scale battle, let alone these bizarre creatures they had never seen before, and in an instant, they were fleeing in terror. Even Taishi Bo himself was left to fight alone, the smug expression that had always been on his face replaced with a hint of panic.
Just then, a huge Nightmare suddenly pounced on Taishi Bo, its blood-filled mouth, sharp teeth and claws, roaring ferociously. Although Taishi Bo had experienced hundreds of battles, he was no match for such a creature, and in an instant, he was wounded by the Nightmare's claws and teeth, bleeding profusely. He clutched his wound and rolled on the ground in a disheveled manner, letting out a heart-wrenching scream, his face distorted.
Zhong Wuye watched all of this coldly, feeling a mixture of emotions in her heart. On the one hand, her anger towards Taishi Bo had reached its peak, and she felt that this man deserved his punishment; but on the other hand, watching him suffer such torment, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. All sorts of conflicting emotions tangled in her chest.
