I handed over the game to the gaming industry, and the government gave me a hacked version.

Chen You sat on the wooden chair, shifted to a more comfortable position, and crossed his legs.

"Just joining in the fun... and enjoying the scenery while I'm at it." Chen You smiled.

"There's no scenery here, only slaughter." Moon Arrow looked into Chen You's eyes. "In your current state, you won't be able to snag the BOSS."

"Let's go."

This is the greatest kindness she can offer.

Chen You's smile faded.

He could hear the warning in Moon Arrow's words.

"Thank you for reminding me. However, I have a problem." Chen You reached out and grasped the hilt of the Jade Emperor Sword at his waist.

"Since we've come all this way, I'd feel terrible going back empty-handed."

The meaning was quite clear from those words.

Saros sneered repeatedly: "If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences."

The giant axe left a blinding trail of sparks as it slashed across the rocks.

"Let's see how long you can keep up your bravado after your newbie protection period ends." He strode towards the Titan warship.

Oro's smile remained gentle.

He even bowed slightly to Chen You before turning and floating towards the floating sanctuary.

The three parted on bad terms.

Back on the warship's deck, Salos kicked over a wooden barrel.

"That kid's too arrogant!" he yelled in the guild chat. "The moment his protection period ends, he'll definitely use a town portal scroll!"

Inside the floating sanctuary, Auro sat on his throne, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrests.

"Guild Master, should we set up an anti-magic barrier in advance?" an oracle asked in a low voice.

Oro looked at the blurry black dot on the distant reef and shook his head. "No need to waste resources."

"A casual player who barely survives during the newbie protection period will run away faster than anyone else once the time is up."

"Our target is Star Neptune, don't get distracted by these insignificant bugs."

In their eyes, Chen You's composure was nothing more than a facade.

In the center of the bay, the phantom of Neptune had already occupied half of the sky.

Thunder rumbled in the clouds, each flash illuminating the sea with a ghastly white light.

Chen You sat in the chair and brought up the system panel.

[Remaining time for new player protection period: 11 minutes and 05 seconds]

He touched his chin.

"These foreigners look down on people," Chen You muttered.

"It's time to show you what a TOWER RUSH is all about."

He opened his backpack and his eyes quickly locked onto an inconspicuous compartment in the corner.

【One-time use arrow tower (strong attack)】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Quickly constructs a powerful attack arrow tower with automatic target acquisition at the designated location.]

Construction time: 10 minutes.

Quantity: 999

This was built on his guild territory.

In high-level matches where attack power can easily reach tens or hundreds of thousands, this arrow tower's attack power isn't even enough to scratch the BOSS.

Chen You stood up and waved one hand.

"Buzz—"

The void trembled, and the enormous body of the Nine Nether Devouring Kun reappeared.

A colossal, dark blue beast floated on the sea, resembling an island.

As a three-dimensional mount (land, sea, and air), the Nine Nether Devouring Kun has no restrictions in the sea.

Chen You leaped onto the back of the Kun.

More than ten palaces of varying sizes sit on the back of the colossal beast, which is over a thousand meters long.

In addition to existing buildings, there are many flat open spaces.

He selected an area and used the [One-Time Arrow Tower (Strong Attack)].

A system notification immediately popped up, accompanied by a prominent red warning box:

[Warning: The current construction location has been detected as a living special carrier.]

[Once the building takes effect, the Nine Nether Devouring Kun will temporarily lose its ability to move until the building is destroyed or actively demolished. Continue?]

Chen You grinned.

As long as it can be built!

He originally just wanted to give it a try, and if it didn't work out, he would have to choose a nearby reef or island.

"yes!"

He didn't stop, his fingers clicking frantically on the virtual panel.

"Bulk construction, maximum quantity!"

A dense array of blue beams of light instantly illuminated the back of the giant Kun.

999 construction progress bars appeared simultaneously, and the phantoms of wood and refined iron rapidly intertwined and recombinated in the pillar of light.

This strange commotion immediately attracted the attention of the three major guilds.

On the Titan warship, Thalos took out a monocular telescope and saw the phantom image on the back of the kun.

"An arrow tower? A dilapidated arrow tower?" Saros was stunned, then burst into deafening laughter, "Hahahaha!"

"Is this kid scared out of his wits? Using a high-grade arrow tower for defense? Does he think this is child's play?"

At the edge of the floating leaf, Moon Arrow's brow furrowed even more.

Looking at the pillar of light that almost covered the entire back of the Kun, a sense of absurdity rose in her heart.

These low-level defensive structures could be cleaved into pieces by a single axe blow from a berserker of the Titan Temple.

What exactly does he want to do?

Inside the floating sanctuary, Oro's smile deepened.

"A clown jumping around," Oro muttered.

Outside the bay, the solo players and small guilds who had been kept out were also in an uproar.

"Holy crap! Is that a construction-focused player? That hand speed is enough to keep you single for at least thirty years!"

"What's the point of building so many arrow towers? One sneeze from Star Neptune and they're all gone!"

"We mere mortals simply cannot comprehend the thinking of such a master."

Chen You ignored the ridicule from the outside world.

He stood at the very center of the Kun's back, surrounded by countless pillars of light, quietly watching the countdown.

The sea breeze grew stronger, the roar of the Star Neptune was deafening, and the sea began to churn violently.

Construction time remaining: 1 minute.

[New player protection period remaining: 1 minute 05 seconds.]

The timing was perfect.

He even took out a cup of hot tea from his backpack and leisurely took a sip.

Soon, a series of crisp system notification sounds rang in my ears.

"Ding ding ding ding ding—"

Construction complete.

The blue beam of light on the back of the Kun disappeared at the same time.

Ninety-nine heavy arrow towers, each ten meters tall, are scattered across the back of the Nine Nether Devouring Kun.

The dark, heavy crossbow bolts were already automatically cocked, their arrowheads gleaming with a chilling light.

From a distance, this originally elegant deep-sea behemoth had been transformed by Chen You into a terrifying hedgehog covered in steel spikes.

The 999 arrow towers stacked together form a terrifying steel jungle.

At the same time, the golden halo buff above Chen You's head, which symbolized absolute invincibility, flickered twice and shattered completely.

The new player protection period has ended.

The atmosphere in the bay instantly became extremely subtle.

Neptune is swaying in the sea, seemingly gathering his first major attack before his appearance.

The leaders of the three guilds all turned their gazes toward the giant steel Kun at the edge.

He really didn't run away.

Saros gripped the giant axe in his hand, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

I didn't use a return scroll, nor did I log off.

He just sat there casually in the middle of that pile of broken metal, holding a teacup.

Saros opened his friends list and sent a message to Auro.

[Private Chat] Salos: That kid really didn't back down, is there a trap?

Oro stood at the edge of the floating sanctuary, looking in Chen You's direction.

He slowly raised the staff in his hand.

The surrounding fire elements gathered wildly, scorching and distorting even the air.

No nonsense.

A massive fireball tore through the air, carrying terrifying heat and a piercing whistling sound, like a falling meteorite.

They went straight for Chen You's face.
