Chapter 137: Golden Twin-Tail Loli
"My Lord! Save us!! My Lord!!"
"My Lord! If you can kill the Bomber, you definitely have a way to save us."
"The countdowns on us are almost over! Help!!"
...
The players with bombs bound to them were all incredibly terrified at this moment.
Because they were very aware that if they died in this game, they would also directly die in the real world.
No one wanted to die.
"Riku... they... look so pitiful. Do we have a way to defuse the bombs on them?" Gon revealed a look of unbearable sympathy.
Because the vast majority of these guys with bombs bound to them in this game world were novice players. They had even greeted several of them on the way here.
Players who logged into the game together, now about to be separated by life and death.
"It's not that simple. These bombs were manifested by the opponent's Nen ability. Now that the opponent is dead, this ability has actually been strengthened." Killua shook his head.
"Wait, Riku, this guy said before he died that he has two friends who are also Bombers. It seems if we find the other two, we can defuse the bombs on these people."
Gon suddenly said.
His words instantly gave the players with planted bombs a glimmer of hope, like finding the last lifesaver.
But when they looked at the countdowns on their bombs, they felt immense despair once again.
Because the time they had left absolutely wouldn't support Riku finding the other two Bombers!
Moreover, even if they were found, they absolutely wouldn't be willing to defuse the bombs for them. It could be said these players with planted bombs basically had a nine-in-ten chance of dying.
"It's useless. The opponent strengthened the Nen effect before dying. If I were you, I'd rather leave here as soon as possible. These guys are going to explode very soon."
Suddenly.
A loli with golden twin-tails in the crowd suddenly spoke up.
Her voice was crisp, yet carried a hint of adult maturity, feeling somewhat old-fashioned.
"What kind of talk is that? What do you mean we can only wait here to die?"
"Damn it, you're only making sarcastic remarks because this bad luck didn't fall on you."
"My Lord! Please, hurry up and think of a way to save us. As long as you're willing to save us, I'm willing to give all my cards to you."
"And mine! Not only am I willing to give you all my cards, but I'm even willing to help My Lord find other cards."
"Me too! Help!!"
...
Seeing the glaring crimson countdowns on their bombs dwindling, these players could no longer sit still.
They understood that if a solution wasn't found, everyone would indeed end up like the golden twin-tail loli said:
Turning into shattered watermelons with a final bang.
"Oh?"
Riku couldn't help but look at this golden twin-tail loli.
He had noticed her right from the very beginning.
However, because he had to deal with the Bomber just now, he hadn't had the time to address her.
Standing before him was none other than Wing's master, Biscuit!
A Two-Star Stone Hunter!
A Pro Hunter who purely enjoyed finding beautiful gems for fun. Her strength was far, far more formidable than her disciple, Wing.
System Trait: Two-Star Stone Hunter - Biscuit System Traits: [Transmutation Type Nen Talent] - Double Gold, [Magical Esthetician] - Double Gold, [Muscle Barbie] - Double Gold, [Fiery Temper] - Purple, [Loves Handsome Men] - Purple, [Loves Restricted Material] - Purple, etc.
It had to be said, the loli before him absolutely did not match her appearance.
As a transmigrator, Riku clearly understood that this seemingly small and cute loli would directly transform into a Muscle Barbie once she truly unleashed her combat power.
A fierce woman with exaggerated muscle definition!
Biscuit's combat power was absolutely Phantom Troupe-level, perhaps even surpassing the vast majority of their members.
"What? Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me with that gaze? Hmph! If it weren't for the fact that you're somewhat handsome, I would definitely be angry."
Biscuit crossed her arms, glared at Riku with her beautiful eyes, and snorted.
"Ahem, everyone, just as they said, the time bombs on your bodies were strengthened by the Bomber before his death. Even for me, trying to defuse them carries an extremely high risk!
I cannot guarantee a perfect defusal, and it's even possible the defusal process might cause the bomb to detonate prematurely."
Riku said slowly, "You now have two choices: one, fend for yourselves; two, hand it over to me to defuse, but I will not be responsible for your lives."
"Ah!?"
Hearing Riku's words, the players with planted bombs were all dumbfounded.
"I'm willing!! Damn it! If this time bomb on me isn't defused, it's a dead end anyway. Since it's death either way, I'd rather die by your hands.
If an accident occurs during defusal, I absolutely will not blame you. Please, My Lord, defuse mine first!"
A burly player stepped forward with gritted teeth.
"And me! Count me in! I'd also rather die during defusal than be blown to death by this thing."
"Me, me, me, me!"
"Me too!"
...
Very quickly, these players made their choices. In reality, they had no other choice.
"Riku, are you really confident? This thing is extremely dangerous."
Killua became somewhat worried.
"You guys step aside a bit. Be careful not to get caught in the blast. Next, I will defuse the bombs for everyone. There might be mistakes, and the defusal process will inevitably be very painful, so you must endure it."
More and more players had gathered around, especially those with bombs planted on them.
This included the player from whom Riku had obtained the Nen Exorcist trait. He had also joined the crowd, but instead of rushing forward, he chose to observe the situation first.
Because he had more options. Even if Riku couldn't defuse the bomb, he could use his own ability to temporarily restrict it.
How he specifically chose to act depended on Riku's defusal success rate.
"Just bring it on! No matter how much it hurts, I'll endure it. If I make a single sound, I'm not a man!"
The muscular man who spoke first stood in front of Riku. His bomb was located on his chest; if it exploded, it would directly blow his entire body apart.
What surprised people was that Riku was actually gently rubbing his hands together, and some white, thin, Play-Doh-like strips appeared in his hands.
Under everyone's astonished gazes, Riku directly stuck this thin, white Play-Doh onto the location of the muscular man's bomb.
Then, he gently patted his shoulder, turned around, and plugged his ears with his hands.
"Ah?! My... My Lord... W-What does this mean?"
The muscular man looked in disbelief at the bomb on his chest, which showed no changes. What exactly was this white Play-Doh the opponent had stuck on it?
But before he could react, he heard a deafening explosion.
It felt as if a massive, blunt object had slammed vertically into his chest. He couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of old blood on the spot, his entire body sent flying like a sandbag.
This sudden scene instantly terrified the other players present.
The smoke and dust cleared.
The crowd finally saw the incredibly wretched-looking burly man in the distance. To their astonishment, he hadn't been blown to death, only the area on his chest was injured by the blast.
But the time bomb previously planted by the Bomber had completely disappeared.
"Ah!? The time bomb on me actually disappeared? This... What exactly is going on!"
The muscular player was thrilled.
"Next."
Riku looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
As expected.
Directional blasting could also be used in this game world.
Although his directional blasting was a bit rough in application, Deidara's Explosive Clay possessed extremely high controllability and plasticity.
It was perfect for counteracting explosive effects!
Very quickly.
Witnessing this scene, the other players with planted bombs instantly grew excited. They scrambled to rush in front of Riku, hoping he would defuse their bombs.
Upholding the good habit of doing a good deed a day, Riku directly planted his Play-Doh bombs on all these players, one after another.
Then, he started directional blasting them one by one!
Boom, boom, boom—
Boom, boom, boom, boom—
Deafening explosions resounded. One by one, players were sent flying in incredibly miserable states, but immediately followed by their excited and thrilled shouts.
In less than a short hour, the hundred or so players present who had bombs planted on them looked covered in wounds, but every single face was filled with unprecedented excitement and thrill, because the bombs on their bodies had completely disappeared.
This sudden scene also left Biscuit, the golden twin-tail loli, dumbfounded. Because as a Two-Star Stone Hunter, although she wasn't fond of combat, her combat experience was absolutely astonishing, and she even had some experience sparring with Netero, the Chairman of the Hunter Association.
She had clearly realized that the bombs left by the Bomber would absolutely not be easily defused, bordering on impossible. Yet she never expected Riku to defuse them right before her eyes using such a method.
"This kid... Just now, when he defeated the Bomber, I only saw that this guy's physical constitution was extremely powerful. But judging from his bomb defusal just now, his Nen control is also astonishing!"
Biscuit marveled inwardly.
At this moment, the square had completely turned into a sea of cheering and boiling excitement. These players whose bombs had been defused screamed hysterically with excitement and thrill.
This joy of surviving a disaster made people completely crazy.
"Great, great, the bomb on me is gone."
"A god! He's simply a god!"
"My Lord, please command us to your heart's content!"
"Yes! My Lord!!"
"We want to form an organization called the Anti-Bomber Group, and My Lord will be the leader!!"
"Right, right, right, right!!"
...
The players present shouted with excitement and thrill, every face brimming with unprecedented invigoration.
This impressively included the Nen Exorcist guy.
He had also chosen to let Riku defuse his bomb. Aside from sustaining some injuries, the bomb was perfectly defused. Riku's success rate in defusing all these players' bombs was an astonishing 100%.
"My Lord, thank you for saving me!"
The Nen Exorcist player specifically thanked Riku. "We are also from the G.I. Clearance Group, My Lord!"
As expected.
Not just the Nen Exorcist, but several other guys whose names Riku couldn't even remember were also newcomers who had joined the G.I. Clearance Group back then.
Everyone was shedding tears of gratitude towards Riku.
A massive amount of cards were brought over; these were the cards these players had previously promised to hand over to Riku.
Riku didn't refuse either. After accepting these cards, he sorted out the duplicates and chose to return them to those players, only keeping the cards he needed.
"Wow! So amazing!! Our cards suddenly reached over a hundred, and they are all non-duplicates."
"This is all thanks to Riku! There are so many players supporting Riku now!"
Gon-kun and Killua were incredibly pleasantly surprised.
After Riku saved these hundred or so players, the number of cards in his hands had reached an astonishing amount, taking a massive step towards clearing the game.
However, those top-tier rare cards still hadn't appeared.
"My Lord! If you have any orders, you can contact us directly."
"Yes, My Lord! You saved our lives. Whether in the game or in the real world, I owe you a life."
"And me! My Lord!"
"We are willing to obey your commands, My Lord! As long as you want to clear the game, we will definitely do everything we can to help you."
"We are members of the Anti-Bomber Group!"
...
These players had actually spontaneously formed Riku's fan support group, calling it something like the Anti-Bomber Group, and they spontaneously went to other places to search for cards for Riku.
"It seems you really won over a lot of hearts this time. With their help, you should be able to quickly gather more cards."
Biscuit, the golden twin-tail loli, walked over and said with a smile.
"Wow! It's a little loli!"
"Golden twin-tails... that's quite rare!"
Gon-kun and Killua were both very surprised.
"You two brats, I am not a little loli, and I'm talking to your adult right now, hmph!"
Biscuit snorted proudly.
"Yes, it will be much faster. But those rare cards are still very difficult to find."
Riku smiled.
"Um... can I join your team? My name is Biscuit, a Two-Star Stone Hunter. My strength is very, very high. If you let me join, I believe we can definitely clear the game smoothly, and I'll also be able to find the gem of my dreams!"
Biscuit looked at Riku with a beaming smile.
