Seized by the System

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the large-scale military base at the far east of Russia. The middle-aged, bearded Russian officer Anton patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Sir Paulis, we sent out the newest model warplanes we secretly co-developed with the USA, they are specialized to go against low and mid-level Extraordinaires. They can't fly, and their speed for escaping is also incredibly slow. In the open grassland, unless it burrows into the ground, it can only be used as a target. I can't wait to see the pictures the boys send back after the bombing…"

Paulis, an elderly Yunsian officer, sighed. "An Extraordinaire's ability is weird, it is impossible to guard against. There are all kinds of methods, otherwise, the Defense Command Center would not be so cautious and allow them to run amuck the Siberian Wilderness for half a year."

Anton said disdainfully, "They're not that scary. Our Russian Special Affairs Liaison Institute has basically understood the source of power for Extraordinaires. It is nothing but the Eastern vitality cultivation system, Western sorcery cultivation system, along with a godhood system that's universal to both the East and West. By the time they finish targeted defensive measures and then equip them to those strong warplanes, they are already invincible."

Saying this, he sneered again, "I heard some people are spreading some dogsh*t prophecy about the new era in Petersburg. Ancient eastern countries, the overlord of the new era is about to recapture his territory…? Hmph, I'll let them know right now. That prophecy is just a pile of dogsh*t! The Siberian Wilderness is ours, in the past, present and future!"

Paulis did not speak, as if silently agreeing to his colleague's viewpoint.

…

On the supercruise warplane, a group of Russian pilots were encouraging each other over the call channel.

"It's about time we teach those Extraordinaires a lesson!"

"Yes, before these latest and strongest fighter planes, they'll realize that the sh*tty spells they cultivated are completely worthless!"

"Let's first give them a taste of the XXXX missiles. I can't wait to see the shapes of their mouths as they scream for mommy!"

"Hahaha, hahaha…"

A wingman Major who was currently conversing with his colleague, suddenly realized that there was something flashing outside the cockpit that was tightly following them.

"What is that?!" He cried out in surprise.

"Efim, what are you screaming about?" in the call channel, the leader of the flight formation, a Colonel, asked.

Efim said, "I see a sword. It's glinting. It's following me!"

The Colonel said, "What sword? Is it a mysterious flying sword? Can it pierce the armoring of the warplane?"

Efim said, "It doesn't need to pierce the thick armoring. It just needs to pierce the cockpit, or drill into the ass of the fella below my ass, that's more than enough!"

The Colonel continued, "Try attacking it!"

Efim said, "My apologies, Your Excellency. That thing is currently stuck to the glass of my cockpit. Please instruct me on how exactly I should attack it?"

The Colonel, "It's very simple. I'll just blast you along with it!"

Efim said, "#[email protected]%you…"

After a moment, Efim's voice was full of surprise, "It's talking to me?"

The Colonel said, "Have you gone mad? A sword that can talk… Ah, I was wrong. It probably has a function similar to phones. What is it saying?"

Efim said, "It says it's letting us go back. If we continue advancing, it'll attack us."

The Colonel said, "Damn it. That thing is threatening the strongest flight formation on this planet!"

Efim said, "Your Excellency Mr. Colonel, have you ever read the book 'The Three-Body Problem'?"

The Colonel said, "I've never heard of it, why are you bringing that up?"

Efim said, "I feel like it's similar to that earliest weapon that was beyond an ordinary person's imagination, the 'waterdrop' that was shot by theTrisolarans 1 …"

The Colonel, "I don't understand a word you're saying. Think of a way to get rid of it!"

After a moment, Efim replied, "It says it doesn't want to clash with us. However, if we insist on attacking their encampment, then it will destroy us here…"

The Colonel, "Damn it. That thing is threatening the Russian Empire's latest warplane squadron!"

Efim said, "I've already relayed your words. It's flying towards you now. It said it wants to have a nice little talk with you!"

The Colonel cursed, "You bastard, how dare you expose my position. I'll have you court-martialed!"

Efim said, "You're standing out the most in the flight formation. It guessed who you were itself and said it wanted to seek out the leader. It has nothing to do with me!"

The Colonel, "Ah, damn it, why are there three swords coming at once? Two of them are surrounding me while dancing the Waltz!"

The Colonel, "They've started trying to hit my left and right wings? That damn ground service crew. The must have been drinking vodka when tightening my screws. My airplane wings are shaking!"

The Colonel's panicked cry resounded through the call channel. The pilots who heard him all trembled in fear and lost their previous savagery.

What was currently happening now was very quickly reported to the rear military base.

Anton said, "Impossible. How did they not realize it earlier? They are all equipped with the most advanced radar!"

The Colonel said, "My apologies, Sir. Their speed is too fast, and they barely even register on the radar because of how small they are."

Anton said, "Do you have any methods to attack it?"

The Colonel said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to even if we perish together. Its speed is too astonishing. Comparing our warplanes to it, it's like comparing a turtle to a bird! As for flexibility, there's no point in trying to compare that …"

Anton said, "What's your distance to the enemy?"

The Colonel replied, "Less than 400 kilometers of flight. However, we are currently circling at a high altitude, and are not approaching. Awaiting your orders, Your Excellency."

Anton stopped talking and hesitated for a long while, but finally made his decision, "Launch all the air-to-ground missiles in advance and return to base. See if they attack you or intercept those missiles!"

The Colonel understood what he meant. He was a soldier, not an undisciplined Extraordinaire, so he had to obey his orders.

The Colonel said, "Roger that, Your Excellency!"

…

Lin Yuqing was controlling his Jade Sword using his spiritual sense, and realized that the other party suddenly ceased dialog. Following that, several dozen long missiles whistled and shot towards the Cloud Fog City Extraordinaire base like swords lined up in the sky, shocking Lin Yuqing.

"Damn it, I still have the moral principle of rivers and lakes, I'm too soft and hesitant!" He seared this lesson into his heart. This was a battle, it was not personal struggles in China anymore. This was a strife for their own interests!

The tens of billions of revenue each year was a life-or-death struggle. It wasn't a game of playing house.

If he had swiftly killed those pilots the moment after discovering them, instead of nagging them for half a day, this crisis would not be happening now!"

"My disciples, destroy as many as you can!" He could not be bothered with those warplanes that turned around and returned at high speed, and lead the way towards the high-speed missiles that were flying towards them.

Compared to these latest warplanes, to these most advanced air-to-ground missiles that did not need to be piloted by humans, there was no need to consider their ability to survive G's, so the could reach extremely high speeds.

At least, after these missiles were launched, their speeds quickly reached an astonishing Mach 6!

This was a rare hypersonic cruise missile!

For a distance of 400 kilometers, they did not even need 200 seconds to be able to reach the Extraordinaire military encampment!

Lin Yuqing's Jade Sword could exceed this speed, but for his reaction, he was not a non-human like Sir System, so it was impossible for him to intercept so many high-speed targets with such in such a high speed.

After all, compared to large aircraft, these missiles were much smaller, and their flight path was much more dispersed.

"As expected, they're not regular soldiers, to actually commit such a mistake like this!" After hearing the report, Officer Anton smiled in glee.

As long as one of the missiles hit its target, it would be enough to let those Extraordinaires know the true power of technological weapons!

"Bam!"

"Bang!"

The missiles were exploded in high altitudes one after another, or were hit until they lost their path and swerved everywhere.

Although the three Master and Disciples tried their absolute best, they were only able to intercept less than 20% of the missiles. After all, those missiles scattered upon launch and had different trajectories, so to be able to detect and react with just the ability of the human's spiritual sense, it already caused the retreating pilots to watch with wide eyes and open mouths…

Those were hypersonic cruise missiles! How could there be Extraordinaires who could intercept them without sustaining injuries?!

What happened now had crushed their previous worldview to powder!

"Damn it, I've completely lost my face. Thankfully, we managed to inform them two minutes in advance, so they should have started to evacuate by now. They're all Extraordinaires, two minutes should be enough for them to get out of the bombing range of the missiles…" Lin Yuqing smiled bitterly.

It was exactly as Lin Yuqing said. Immediately after the news about the incoming missiles arrived, the distant encampment was already thrown into chaos. All sorts of disappearing techniques were being performed, all of them exhibiting remarkable abilities.

The most effective ones were those who knew how to escape underground. The ones who were able to drill hundred and thousands of kilometers underground were the safest.

The others could only use full-body arts started to run about madly. The could only pray that the missile did not carry any mushroom warheads inside it. Otherwise, there really weren't that many people who would be able to escape it…

At this moment, someone suddenly stopped their steps and pointed towards the cloudless sky.

"Look, a green dragon is coming!"

Some people ran while raising their heads, and indeed saw a large azure dragon several meters long, its body wrapped in purple electricity. With a 'swoosh', 'swoosh', 'swoosh', it approached at a speed far surpassing the naked eye and swept away all the incoming missiles.

In less than thirty seconds, the hypersonic cruise missiles which caught Lin Yuqing and his two disciples off guard were completely swept away.

"The Eastern Dragon God has come to save us!"

"As expected. They kept saying that Cloud Fog City had a large trump card. So it was the Dragon God!"

"Haha, I didn't come all the way here for nothing. Let me hurry and take a picture…"

No one continued running anymore, but they all stopped and whipped out their phones to take pictures.

If they flee the battlefield, they would definitely not get their final payment. This was a tacit rule for mercenaries…

The middle-aged man Landlord Liu long had since run out of his tent to direct the evacuation. He looked on with wide eyes and an open mouth, and turned towards the girl beside him, "Landlord Yun, was it you who asked for reinforcements from the Duke?"

Landlord Yun said hesitatingly, "I didn't. Requesting him to act once will cost several hundred of millions of dollars, right? If the Duke had such a large budget, he would definitely mention it beforehand."

Hearing her words, Landlord Liu immediately shouted, "All of you, get back here. We spent a large amount of money to invite the Dragon God to help us. This piece of land is ours. It's our victory!"

Landlord Yun slapped her head. She really was too young for this…

…

In the high skies, Vigilante A just finished sweeping the missiles. It reverted back to its human form and controlled its flying sword, and was just about to fly away.

However, for some reason, it suddenly landed below.

Fang Ning grew curious. "Sir, the Truth Department told us to cross the border and intercept these unknown mighty, advanced missiles, lest they fly inside the border and cause accidental deaths. We finished what they asked of us, so why aren't we leaving yet?"

The System said, "I think I heard someone say they want to give me money…"

Fang Ning was speechless. "Stop talking nonsense. We're tens of thousands of meters up in the air, did you hear a ghost?"

The System said, "Oh, let me rephrase myself. Earlier, one of my environmental monitoring threads saw that there was someone down there who seemed to have mouthed something like wanting to give me money…"

Fang Ning looked below through the System View, and realized that for ten thousand meters below them, each person's face was extremely clear, as if he was seeing them from just ten meters away.

The sight shocked him, and he cried out in surprise, "It's so clear! No wonder you said you could see the shape of their mouths as they spoke, but that shouldn't be, right? I remember the image the System View gave be never used to be so amazing?"

The System said, "Oh, that King Cobra Shaz's gallbladder, you should be able to remember. After I collected the top-level medicinal materials on a certain night last month, I personally simmered a top-level medicinal diet to eat. After eating, your vision improved by several hundred times. You can now clearly see the facial features of people tens of thousands of meters away. Your eyesight is not inferior to that of a hawk's anymore. Mr. Multi-Millionaire was playing games that time, and didn't check the system notifications. You can look through it when we go back…"

Fang Ning felt regretful after hearing those words. "I've told you so many times. If you're not eating in large quantities, if you're just eating a little, let me do it instead. Don't waste the time the System could use for framing monsters…"

He knew immediately that that taste was definitely rarely seen in the world. The System was the one who produced it, and with so many top-level ingredients as well, just how delicious had it been?

The System said, "When it was done, I swallowed it in one mouthful. I didn't waste even a single second."

Fang Ning felt even more regretful. "Damn it, you're even more of a waste than feeding Zhu Bajie ginseng…"
