Gamers Are Fierce-Chapter 655 - 653: Pun

Now!

Li Ang's hand flashed with Blue Lightning. The main cannon he had ripped from the Sentor Tank roared to life, flames and smoke spurting from its barrel. The high-explosive shell sliced through the air, narrowly missing a Fire Tornado before hurtling towards the flatbed truck.

"Hmm?"

Cai Wen, swaying back and forth like a boxer, instantly locked onto the shell's trajectory. It reached back with its cabbage-leaf hand to grab a cabbage from the Cabbage-pult behind it, clenched the projectile in its fist, and hurled it with all its might!

The cabbage was much lighter than a watermelon projectile but exploded with only slightly lesser force. Thanks to Cai Wen's precise throw, the cabbage struck the high-explosive shell like a high-speed shot put.

BOOM!

The two collided and burst apart in an instant. Leaves flew and metal shrapnel scattered. Cai Wen, standing tall at the front of the vehicle, whipped up a wind with its fists so dense that it shielded the car beneath from the shrapnel.

Even after delivering a perfect punch, this bok choy still had enough strength to twist its body. It deftly caught a poisoned Crossbow Arrow, shot from a sneaky angle, in its teeth. "PTOOEY," it spat the Arrow—fired by the assassin Ezio Auditore—onto the ground. The expression on its veggie face clearly conveyed disdain, as if to say, "Is that all?"

I've actually been... looked down upon by a bok choy...

A strange mix of feelings—loss, shame, and embarrassment—welled up in Ezio Auditore's heart. It felt as if he were a student who had studied hard for ten years, confidently walking into a college entrance exam, only to discover he was competing against genius high school students from some advanced planet with IQs over 300.

The abilities of humans truly have their limits... Ezio Auditore murmured blankly. To survive in this world, one must surpass humanity...

No one paid any mind to the inner thoughts of this Italian fellow, an assassin-turned-warrior. Everyone's attention was focused on the Stryker Armored Vehicle's cannon.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The cannon emptied its ammunition, all five remaining high-explosive shells flying out of the magazine.

With a life-or-death crisis imminent, even Dave, who always acted erratically, seemed to have a flash of lucidity in his eyes. He shook his burlap fertilizer bag, pulled out the last Energy Bean, and slapped it hard onto Cai Wen's back.

"Ah, you're good, Malaysia!"

Along with Dave's inexplicable roar, Cai Wen's figure swelled once again. The devastating green fist shadows reappeared on the track. Neither the incoming shells from the front nor the sneak attacks from other teams behind could penetrate this barrier of wind from its fists.

However, the triumphant smile on Cai Wen's face suddenly froze. The bok choy realized that as it was about to hit the last incoming high-explosive shell, the shell veered off course for no reason. It plummeted like a sharply descending line, tumbling to the ground.

"What's that?"

Shou Margot's pupils shrank. Her Crow Tengu vision, far surpassing that of ordinary humans, allowed her to clearly see something amiss with the last high-explosive shell. A layer of semi-transparent threads clung to the outside of the shell. The metallic housing at its base had vanished, its payload hollowed out. In its place was a bloated, mid-sized insect with sacs full of acid on its back.

I see, Shou Margot thought knowingly. That NPC from GTA5 previously released some oddly shaped insects. They all arrived ahead on the track and wove a net with transparent threads. As the vehicles and the first few shells passed, the transparent net was lifted. When the final shell—the one carrying the special insect—passed by, the net was pulled down again. This intercepted the shell, dragged it to the ground, and positioned it perfectly under Crazy Dave's vehicle, which was also a blind spot for the alien plants' attacks. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

BANG!

The Poison Exploder Worm exploded instantly. Strong acid and shrapnel showered the underside of the flatbed truck, swiftly melting away most of the chassis.

The three little green aliens in the cab felt the vehicle shake. They frantically spun the steering wheel, trying to stabilize it, but their attempts were unfortunately futile. After the acid corroded the fuel tank and all the fuel leaked out, the wobbling flatbed truck slowed down. It eventually crashed into a lamppost, leaving its four drivers arguing in a strange language, as if conducting an encrypted conversation.

It was a success.

The System notification sound echoed in his ears. Li Ang, on top of the Stryker Armored Vehicle, exhaled a breath of murky air and released his Divine Power, recalling the Soldier Bee.

"How did you do that..." The Witch, looking confused, was about to speak but stopped herself, realizing it would seem like she was probing for her companion's secrets. She closed her mouth.

"It's the bugs. I added bugs," Li Ang explained earnestly. "This world is entirely made up of data, so as long as you exploit bugs—both insects and computer glitches—you can target things effectively."

"..." The Witch was silent for a moment but couldn't help but retort, "Isn't that English pun a bit too lame?"

"Is it? I think it's alright." Li Ang grinned. "I once read a book called 'How to Chat with the Opposite Sex.' It said that incorporating some extremely clever puns into conversations can ease awkward atmospheres and create jokes so funny they could cause incontinence."

??? I'd love to hear what kind of joke could actually make someone laugh so hard they wet themselves. The Witch was brimming with unspoken complaints.

In contrast, Sunset Gold Smelter, sitting in the co-pilot's seat, nodded. "Oh, oh, I think I've read that book too! It had detailed instructions on how to attract the opposite sex. For example, if you see their selfie on social media, you reply, 'Is this you?' If you see a travel photo, reply, 'Web photo, right?' See a picture of shoes, reply, 'Fake?' See a hotel photo, reply, 'Another hookup?' See shared music, reply, 'Trend chaser?' See a post about daily life, reply, 'That's it?' See hints they're looking for love, reply, 'Big talker?' See late-night posts, reply, 'Don't you find that embarrassing?' Over time, everyone of the opposite sex in your social media circle will pay special attention to you. Um... I was actually thinking of trying it out too, but I don't have many girls in my social media circle. They're either advertising bots or girls selling tea..."

??? I think getting chewed out and then unfriended is more likely! Are you two sure you were reading 'How to Chat with the Opposite Sex,' and not 'How to Enrage the Opposite Sex and Make Them Your Mortal Enemy'?

The corners of the Witch's mouth twitched. She decisively chose not to dwell on this topic any longer.

The Stryker Armored Vehicle advanced, entering a narrow and steep rollercoaster section, picking up items such as banana peels, red mushrooms, and green turtle shells. However, considering they had just destroyed the vehicle of Crazy Dave, a dark horse in the race, surprisingly few teams dared to drive alongside them. This allowed them to cruise smoothly through the rollercoaster segment.
