Chapter 1063: Decoy Trap
After Feng Zi ordered the Type-VI Hunting Robot to send everyone flying, she removed the obstacles in the middle of the road to allow Zhang Heng’s car to pass by. Then, she charged the robot to move forward again.
With the massive droid ahead of him, clearing the way like a snowplow, Zhang Heng rushed through four sentry posts in one go. Finally, he was getting closer and closer to the white signal tower. However, this was also the furthest he could go. After passing the fourth checkpoint, the excavator directly cut off the road in front of him.
Zhang Heng stopped the car and alighted with all his equipment.
A little further ahead, the Type-VI Feng Zi was controlling was already engaged in a battle with the guards. The sound of gunfire and the shouts of some people could be heard. Soon, nonetheless, everything returned to normal.
Qiu Ming followed closely behind with a gun in his hand. He got up and ran with Zhang Heng, ducking in and out and to the left and right through the road that had been dug out, keeping a lookout for their surroundings.
So far, everything was going smoothly. With the modified Type-VI, the two of them didn’t encounter much trouble. All that said, the situation wouldn’t be so optimistic in the future.
In fact, Qiu Ming had already seen a destroyed Type-VI. In order to kill this robot, Mr. G’s side had obviously invested a lot of money. They used an unknown amount of explosives to directly blow up a massive 10-meter-crater into the ground. Other than the robot in the center being directly blown up, many human corpses were also strewn around the surroundings. It seemed that they were unlucky ones who didn’t make it to safety in time, buried together with the machine.
At this moment, the two heard the sound of an explosion in front of them. It wasn’t that terrifying, though, and should indicate that the Type-VI Feng Zi was controlling had got hit by a rocket launcher or something. Fortunately, with the droid’s defensive and self-healing abilities, there shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Sure enough, not long after that, the sound of the explosion quickly disappeared.
Feng Zi, who was 30 kilometers away, was now in her complete bloodthirst mode. She sat cross-legged in an underground warehouse, surrounded by all kinds of cheap pirated dolls. Beside her feet was a bottle of coke she bought from the vending machine, but because she had been fighting, she didn’t have time to drink it.
Admittedly, Feng Zi had been cautious when she first took over the robot. More than once, she would subconsciously give the order to dodge an attack, and as time passed, and she experienced more and more battles, she finally understood what Zhang Heng meant when he said, “Don’t worry, just focus on the attack and not the defense.”.
Because of the Type-VI Hunting Robot’s exceeding robustness, Feng Zi realized that normal attacks would cause it to suffer little or no damage. Even if it took a rocket launcher hit, the deformed metal shell would quickly recover.
Feng Zi couldn’t be blamed for being overly cautious. She had seen Zhang Heng fight the Type-VI before, and from the looks of it, Zhang Heng had only used a knife to cut the robot into pieces. Thus, she had some doubts about the robot’s strength in the beginning.
She was, however, experiencing a completely different thing now. She felt like a brave warrior who had picked up a god’s equipment in a game, gone from being a noob in the beginner village to a ruthless experience harvester. This excited her completely—the commands were becoming more and more unrestrained, and she had unknowingly pulled away from Zhang Heng and Qiu Ming.
As Feng Zi continued to drive the Type-VI Hunting Robot on a test run, Zhang Heng and Qiu Ming finally encountered their first battle. As they walked, Zhang Heng suddenly opened his mouth and said to Qiu Ming, “Squat.”
Although the latter did not know why Zhang Heng said that, Qiu Ming, unlike Feng Zi, clearly understood Zhang Heng’s strength. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Heng opened his mouth, he immediately squatted without hesitation.

The next moment, a sniper round landed on the concrete road behind him.
Sniper!!!
Qiu Ming had already found some cover and crawled into it without needing Zhang Heng to remind him. On the other side, Zhang Heng was also hiding behind a stone slab.
“Do we need to recall the robot?” Qiu Ming asked.
“No need. We can solve this small problem ourselves.” Zhang Heng shook his head. Then, he took out Lego blocks from his bag and spent two minutes assembling them into a sniper rifle. Upon inserting the Infinite Building Block, he completed the last step of its materialization.
Qiu Ming’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw this. He didn’t know what words to use to describe his feelings anymore. He was already beyond shocked to see Mr. G’s men drill a hole in the second floor, but at least he knew how the other party did it. Zhang Heng’s building block turning into a sniper was the real wild card. He had no idea how it worked.
This chapter is scrapped from readlightnovel.org
With a gun in his hand, Zhang Heng immediately set a simple trap. He took off his coat, put it on the barrel of the gun, and pushed it out of his hiding spot. About three seconds later, a bullet pierced the coat and left a hole in it.
Zhang Heng had roughly figured out the other party’s position from the hole and the previous shot. He then gave Qiu Ming a look, asking the latter to help him attract attention.
Therefore, Qiu Ming extended his gun-wielding hand out of cover and fired wildly in the direction of the bullets. This time, the sniper from afar did not fall for the decoy. He ignored Qiu Ming, who was shooting away happily. Instead, he turned the muzzle to the area Zhang Heng was hiding and held his breath.
In the end, his efforts paid off. In the next moment, he saw a figure jump out from behind the stone slab.
“Got you!” The sniper’s eyes flashed with joy as he pulled the trigger in his hand.
However, when the bullet from the gun’s barrel hit the target, the sniper was shocked to realize that it was still just a coat. There was no one underneath it.
For a moment there, he felt smug, thinking he had seen through Zhang Heng’s tactic. He did not expect to trip over the same stone twice in the next moment. Furthermore, this trip would actually prove fatal.
After the gunshot, Zhang Heng had already dashed out from the opposite direction. He spent a second and a half locking onto the target in the distance, and another half a second to adjust his posture and breathing.
Then, he pulled the trigger.
Zhang Heng aimed at the sniper’s arm, but because of the terrifying kinetic energy the bullet generated, not only could the sniper not shoot again, but he could also lose his entire arm. If he was sent to the hospital late, he might even die from excessive blood loss.
However, considering how he hadn’t been polite with his previous three shots, Zhang Heng had already shown mercy on account of Miss F.

Chosen Chaos
30 years have passed since first contact. Earth has now been accepted into the galactic community, is expanding its territory to other planets, and has begun to adopt the myriad advanced technologies found throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. But as the least advanced race in the galaxy, the Earthians are struggling to carve a niche for themselves, made all the more difficult by the fact that they are the only race in the entire galaxy incapable of developing supernatural powers. Until recently. Few know how or why, but small groups of Earthians have begun to display superhuman abilities — and the militaries of the galaxy have begun to display interest in them. Combined with the rise of an evil thought to have been vanquished two decades ago, these superpowered Earthians are forced to choose between the value of their own lives… and the value of the entire galaxy. Part 1: Chosen Few — A mundane visit to the local science museum starts off a series of worrying events for Austin Travis and his friends. They would like nothing more than to continue living their lives as they have, but the universe seems to have other plans… Part 2: Chosen Elite — CSF-1 and the Eximius Vir return to normal military operation and discover a clue to finding powerful ancient technology. However, they aren’t the only ones to discover this clue, and soon find themselves in a race against time to prevent the technology from falling into the wrong hands… Part 3: Chosen Hidden — As the summer comes to an end, Pierce Bradley and his friend prepare for their last few days studying abroad on an alien planet. Pierce would like nothing more than to return home and flaunt his new experiences in front of his friends and classmates, but the universe seems to have other plans… Chosen and its three parts begin the Key Saga, a new novel series that takes place 20 years after Rise — which tells the tale of the aforementioned evil. Reading Rise is not a prerequisite for reading Chosen, but it will help to understand the setting and the various conflicts within. Character art on cover by @quassihollic on twitter.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
