Mr. Melancholy Wants To Live A Peaceful Life

CHAPTER 26

Why would so many levelers have been lost in this unopened world? While being trounced by You Zhengping wearing the handsome uncle's face, Yuan Luori understood. For one thing, it was because there was no possibility of abandoning or failing at a mission to scout out an unopened world; because the System's control over an unopened world was weak, the levelers could go in but not out, and they had no way of getting information to outside worlds; they lost the option of making a getaway.

The other reason was the Protector in front of him! When he had used a mixture of the bubble machine equipped from the System and his own skills to take down the majority of the Protectors, Yuan Luori had been proud of himself, thinking that this world's super powered organization was no better than this.

What Yuan Luori didn't know was that he was facing young Protectors who had only trained for fifteen years but had never experienced actual combat. In the words of Director Xiao and the other elders, today's young people were only trainees. Apart from the small number of captains and deputy captains, the others weren't qualified for actual combat.

This action to probe and contain Yuan Luori was a test Director Xiao had given Lian Yufan and You Zhengping's squads. In the future, countless Destroyers might come to this world. Before that happened, it was necessary for the new people to become familiar with the Destroyers' awesome powers and innumerable battle tactics.

But when You Zhengping furiously charged out to champion Yu Hua, when he saw Yuan Luori standing on the big bubble and understood a new use for his space ability, the battle was already over.

The electric current released from the space swept over all the bubbles like a silver snake. Yuan Luori, who was using a bubble as a place to stand in midair, bore the brunt. His whole body went numb from being electrocuted. He was unable to move.

He only had time to press down on the bubble machine and release more bubbles that would burst on contact to attack You Zhengping. You Zhengping opened a space and wrapped the bubbles in it. He concentrated, pushing the space with the bubbles hidden inside towards the electricity-numbed Yuan Luori. When it was close enough, You Zhengping opened the space. The bubbles flew out, surrounding Yuan Luori.

"Ha, how could the weapons I released myself harm me?" Yuan Luori said, forcing himself to bear up.

You Zhengping sneered. "We Protectors never copy and paste."

In their first special ability class, they learned to turn attacks against the attackers, use the Destroyers' confidence in their own abilities to deceive them. Therefore, Lian Yufan had known to hide bits of glass in the bubbles when attacking Yuan Luori, and You Zhengping of course also knew to lead the lightning from the space into the bubbles.

Hundreds of bubbles glowing silver pelted towards Yuan Luori. Yuan Luori fished out his phone with difficulty. He wanted to use a new item... A tongue of flame curled around Yuan Luori's phone. Cen Xiao, stepping on the space ladder You Zhengping had laid out, had also mounted to the sky. The controlled flames snatched away the Destroyer's System item.

"I'm sorry, but the second lesson we learn is not to give Destroyers the opportunity to use a new ability when they've reached the end of their tether," Cen Xiao said.

This was knowledge and experience countless Protecters had exchanged their flesh and blood for over hundreds of years. A Destroyer could get an item to protect his life from a floating screen that the ordinary person couldn't see with the naked eye. When he seemed to be about to do this, the Protectors had to immediately prevent him from attaining a new item or ability.

You Zhengping's generation of Protectors was in fact quite a bit weaker than their elders, but because of the System's hibernation, Yuan Luori and the other levelers had also become weaker. The floating screen controls had become cell phone controls, and it was much easier to snatch away a phone than a floating screen.
