I summoned the Fourth Scourge in Warhammer

Chapter 68 We landed on our feet!
"Hahaha! Even if all three of them attacked at once, they wouldn't be a match for me!"

After easily taking down three opponents, he laughed maniacally and spun around on the spot, his voice, enhanced by the potion, tinged with a hoarse excitement. He raised his arms, pointed at the onlookers, and shouted triumphantly, "Again! I'll take on ten!"

However, as soon as he uttered his bold words, he felt a sweet taste in his throat, and a hot, metallic liquid gushed out uncontrollably, smearing the lenses of his gas mask. Crimson blood slid down the mask, leaving the onlookers completely bewildered.

Realizing something was wrong, Name quickly opened the system panel, and what he saw shocked him.

Some attributes increase dramatically, such as muscle strength, which increases almost exponentially.

【肌肉强度- 35.6/10.6 (解放者+20.4)(体能强化剂+5.2)(神圣慰剂+3.4)(肾上腺素+6.0)】

However, some attributes have plummeted, falling to levels comparable to those of a paramecium, making their names truly alarming:
【肝脏功能- 1.2/10.1 (冰点素-3.2)(哨兵-2.0)(体能强化剂-1.7)(解放者-1.9)(肾上腺素-1.3)】

【肾脏功能- 1.7/9.5 (冰点素-2.8)(哨兵-1.8)(体能强化剂-1.5)(解放者-1.7)】

Even worse, after just a couple of movements, his name was already covered in numerous debuffs, such as: [Major Chest Hemorrhage (Suppressed)], [Fractured Bones (Suppressed)], [Ruptured Heart (Suppressed)], [Multiple Organ Failure (Suppressed)]

Each one is enough to kill a mortal within minutes, but each has a (suppressed) suffix. Clearly, the name's death is nigh once that (suppressed) suffix ceases to exist, and now… only a few seconds remain.

"This shouldn't be!" The name stared wide-eyed, letting out a defiant roar, "It was promised that after the injection, I'd live for at least 24 hours..."

Before he could finish speaking, with a "crack," his armored body fell straight to the ground like a broken log, and then fell silent.

At first, the onlookers thought this guy was doing some kind of performance art. But when the system ID above his name disappeared, they realized that he was really dead, and dead so quickly that he didn't even struggle.

"Holy crap, the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique!"

"He pooped right there!"

"Excuse me, excuse me." Li Yongsi pushed through the crowd, walked to the body of the person in question, squatted down, took off the person's gas mask and examined it. "Hmm... it should be a problem with the neutralization solution. The formula needs to be changed..." he muttered to himself.

As he spoke, Li Yongsi carried the body on his back: "Tell the person named Ming later to send me his bank card number. I'll transfer some money to him as research funding and to cover the cost of buying the body."

The players' eyes lit up at this, for this was real money! They immediately asked enthusiastically, "Do you need any more experimental materials, sir?"

"Boss, I feel perfectly healthy, and I'd like to be a test subject too!"

"I'm in great shape, I can withstand a lot of damage and I'm definitely a good prospect!"

"Don't worry, I'll let you know when I need to," Li Yongsi waved his hand and then carried the body away, clearly intending to examine the cause of death of the deceased in detail.

In the distance, Redito and Nguyen Van Bo stood together, taking in all of this.

Rediton's mechanical voice echoed in the hall: "Even by the standards of the Krieg Death Legion, your disregard for life has reached a point I cannot comprehend."

Ruan Wenbo casually replied, "This world is so terrible, maybe it's better to die sooner? If you're lucky, you might even be able to return to the throne."

Rydito seemed thoughtful, data streams flashing through his optical eyepiece: "Is this your view on life and death? It's thought-provoking..." He didn't seem to fully understand, but didn't delve further. Rydito changed the subject: "Have you figured out how to kill the higher-ups of the gene-stealers?"

“I’ve been looking at the Trinity foundry these past couple of days,” Ruan Wenbo said. “You can produce gravity umbrellas and Valkyries, right?”

“These two items are indeed not difficult to produce,” Redito said, “but they are quite difficult to use… Are your soldiers capable of handling them?”

“They will learn,” Nguyen Van Bo said calmly, his tone carrying an undeniable conviction, “They definitely will…”

“I think I know what you’re thinking,” Redito said. “I have no right to interfere with the lives of your soldiers, but I think I have the right to express my dissatisfaction with the potential damage to the Gravity Parachute and Valkyrie during training.”

“What do you want?” Nguyen Van Bo asked directly.

“Give me all that equipment that appeared out of nowhere, no matter how damaged it is, and I’ll maintain it. I think it’s a win-win situation,” Redito stated his terms.

High above in the Nest, a howling wind swept across the densely packed honeycomb city below, resembling a labyrinth of steel and concrete. A dozen or so players, each carrying a gravity umbrella provided by Redito—high-quality equipment produced by the Trinity Foundry—stood on their backs.

Ruan Wenbo stood before them, his voice exceptionally clear in the wind: "According to the Star Forces' original procedures, to become a paratrooper, we should undergo complete training, from theory to land training, and then to low-altitude parachuting. But Peditia doesn't have that much time!"

He glanced around at the players, whose eyes gleamed with excitement, without a trace of fear.

"So, our training involves wearing powered paragliders and jumping directly from high places!"

Upon hearing this, the players were not shocked; instead, they erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

"We landed on our feet, and were the first to step into hell!"

"For Super-Earth!"

This is the way!

Ruan Wenbo nodded in satisfaction and looked at Li Yongsi beside him: "The rest is up to you, Father Li Yongsi."

Upon hearing this, Li Yongsi sighed helplessly: "I can no longer be called a priest, Company Commander Ruan. I'm just an apprentice who's ordered around..."

Despite his complaints, he walked forward and began to teach the players how to operate the gravity parachute.

Ruan Wenbo watched as Li Yongsi stepped forward, calmly picked up a model of a gravity parachute, and began explaining its structure and operation to the players. He nodded inwardly. He had thought that with no missions or battles these past few days, many players would log off out of boredom, but the result was unexpected—most players logged off briefly and then returned.

It makes sense, considering this is a game where thought processes are accelerated three times, which translates to three times the lifespan. Players spend a day here equivalent to a third of a day in the real world, experiencing three times the lifespan of reality – a huge attraction for anyone. Moreover, the physical abilities of the Astral Army Superman in the game are many times stronger than in reality; these two points alone are enough to draw people in.

Ruan Wenbo's gaze returned to the players listening to Li Yongsi's explanation, and a thought flashed through his mind: for most of the players using the gravity parachute for the first time, they would probably end up physically "landing on both feet"...
