Just then—
The Enforcer Bureau Director, who was frantically dialing for help, suddenly froze, his eyes flashing with terror as he stared at the surveillance footage on the left side of his screen.
The footage showed—
A cannon barrel, its surface shimmering with crimson runes, slowly extending from a phantom gate composed of swirling white mist. It adjusted its aim, its muzzle locking onto the Law Enforcement Bureau.
That thing... it was the divine being's urethra he had seen in the transmitted images!
Now, that thing had found him!
It was over.
The director's face turned ashen, a flicker of despair in his eyes as he slumped into his chair. He gazed at the seven young women's photos arranged on his desk.
He knew there was no point in running. He couldn't escape.
The moment that thing appeared above him, his death was sealed.
A pang of regret struck him. If he had fled the Law Enforcement Bureau immediately after the incident, could he have avoided this fate?
After all, the thing seemed to be targeting only key buildings.
Just then—
The military district line, which had been busy, finally connected.
A frantic voice roared from the other end of the line, "Our military district is handling the ghost cannon. Your Law Enforcement Bureau needs to quickly stabilize the city's residents. We're working on a solution."
"Evacuate the Law Enforcement Bureau immediately! It's likely to be the next target!"
"..."
The Enforcer Bureau Director held the phone to his ear, his expression unchanging as he stared at the surveillance footage. He calmly observed the cannon, its barrel glowing with crimson patterns, aimed directly at the bureau, and the deep blue light bullet already surging from its muzzle.
"Evacuate my ass," he muttered.
The next moment—
BOOM!!!
Massive explosions erupted one after another within the Law Enforcement Bureau!
The director, who had just been blasted away by the initial shockwave, was immediately engulfed by the subsequent fiery blasts and hurled high into the air, only to be struck by multiple light bullets.
Pfft.
A faint sound burst amidst the chaos, resembling a blushing girl's awkward embarrassment after accidentally passing gas.
The Law Enforcement Bureau, from start to finish, never had a chance to mount any resistance.
It simply vanished.
This was a battle of overwhelming disparity.
No one could withstand the sustained bombardment from a 110cm-caliber cannon firing at a rate of 2,900 rounds per minute at close range.
If God had used this thing to destroy the world back then, it might have been far quicker than the flood.
However—
Though the Law Enforcement Bureau had fallen, Chen Jiang and his group didn't stop.
As Scar Dog watched the city-wide projection materialized by Li Hao, he continuously crushed energy blocks, causing the cannon barrel to shift its position abruptly in the void.
In just over ten minutes, every critical structure in the city—the military bases they could identify, and even the vital buildings they couldn't—had been subjected to a comprehensive bombardment.
Meanwhile, the ranking list had changed:
[Player Blood Sacrifice Points Ranking]
[Top Ranking: Human Player Chen Jiang]
[Blood Sacrifice Points: 4,820]
[Second Ranking: Mechanical Race Player Feng Jiutian]
[Blood Sacrifice Points: 3,120]
[Third Ranking: Fox-Eared Race Player Xiao Yue]
[Blood Sacrifice Points: 389]
As expected, Chen Jiang had once again surged to the top.
But this was only the beginning.
The targets he had bombarded so far were not densely populated residential districts. The next phase would focus on heavily bombarding those areas.
He paid no attention to Feng Jiutian in second place, but glanced at Xiao Yue of the fox-eared race with mild surprise.
The fox-eared race didn't sound like a particularly combat-oriented race. How had she managed to secure third place?
He had been completely silent before, but now he suddenly surged to third place on the leaderboard. It seemed he must have stumbled upon some extraordinary opportunity.
After all, only about half an hour had passed since the event began.
To have already killed 389 alien race players in just thirty minutes was truly remarkable. Just look at fourth place, with only 102 points!
As for himself, he was an exception.
As for Feng Jiutian, he couldn't say. After all, Feng Jiutian was one of the few mechanical race players who openly revealed themselves, so it was understandable that he might have some tricks up his sleeve.
He quickly put the matter out of his mind, figuring that stumbling upon extraordinary opportunities was perfectly normal in the wilderness.
He glanced at his 4,820 blood sacrifice points and couldn't help but grin with excitement.
With 4,820 blood sacrifice points, he could exchange them for nearly 5,000 one-star items—a massive boost for him!
Just as he opened the Altar Shop, ready to purchase nearly 5,000 one-star items and secure them immediately, he noticed a change in the number behind one of the one-star items.
The quantity had shifted from (99,892/100,000) to (99,891/100,000).
In the information stream to the right of the item, a line of text flashed by quickly:
[Ape-man race player Su Bajie has exchanged for a one-star item: Hedgehog Gauntlets.]
Chen Jiang frowned slightly at these changes, saying nothing.
This information indicated that one of the items originally stocked at 100,000 had just been purchased, and the player who exchanged for it was Su Bajie of the ape-man race.
Meanwhile, his target—the five trash items with only 10,000 units in stock—remained untouched.
The inventory was still full.
Clearly, no players were interested in this pile of crap, even at its ridiculously low price.
But if a player suddenly swept in and bought nearly 5,000 units, it would inevitably draw the attention of other players. A closer look would reveal:
["Huh, the buyer is none other than Chen Jiang, the top-ranking human player!"]
The rest was self-evident.
In the blink of an eye, all 50,000 trash one-star items would be swarmed by players of every race, snatched up as if they were priceless treasures, and instantly wiped clean.
After all, the fact that Chen Jiang, the top-ranking player, was spending so many blood sacrifice points on these trash items meant they must have some special quality. Combined with their low price, anyone with even a few blood sacrifice points would likely buy one.
It was like this:
A pile of shit is priced at 1 blood sacrifice point and put up for sale, but no one pays any attention.
Then suddenly, a celebrity everyone's watching buys a huge quantity of it. The rest is obvious: most people will rush to buy the remaining piles.
On Blue Star, many celebrities get paid to buy useless, overpriced items. Then, driven by wishful thinking, ordinary people spend fortunes to buy the same worthless things.
The final result...
Chen Jiang frowned, his hand hovering in the air.
He now had only two options:
Buy nearly 5,000 one-star items, knowing he'd never get the rest. Keep saving blood sacrifice points until he reached 50,000, then buy everything at once!
Which should he choose?
Was there even a question?
