Chapter 389: Chapter 216: Pac-Man Game, Magical Girl Kokonoe Sakura

Old Beijing Mai Internet Cafe, Room No. 7.

Ke Mingye, Qing Meng, and Paranoia transformed into pixel characters and entered the Pac-Man game on the screen, while Cai Bing had already started her experiment outside the game.

She lowered her eyes and rapidly operated her cellphone with her left hand, while simultaneously raising her right hand to try touching the computer that was running the “Pac-Man game.”

However, no sooner had she extended her finger than a mysterious force jolted her hand away, a streak of firelight rushing through the air.

“Come on… does it hurt that much?”

Cai Bing hissed softly, tilted her head, and looked down at her wrist, which was scorched, as the entire desktop computer was enveloped in a faint halo.

“So, this computer really is untouchable, huh?”

She murmured, having anticipated this, so she turned to operate another computer beside her, opening a pitch-black program.

At the same time, she kept an eye on the progress of the game interface from the corner of her eye.

The game map was littered with dots. Players seemed unable to pick up the dots; only Pac-Man could ingest them upon contact.

Moreover, Pac-Man could defy gravity, moving freely in all directions across the interface.

Only Ke Mingye and Paranoia among the players could move upward, one using a web shooter, the other relying on the transformation ability inherent to a Magic Girl.

As for Qing Meng, her jump wasn’t high enough to reach the horizontal bar above.

So her pixelated body could only move left and right in the bottom row in an awkward and stiff manner, like a person with a disability.

Imagine one of the dwarfs from Snow White holding a shotgun, shaking his head from side to side as a giant beast from the forest approaches; that pretty much sums up her plight.

In such a situation, if she encountered Pac-Man, she would have blown up on the spot, let alone have time to deal damage.

Hence, Magical Girl Hongyue could only carry her body, constantly flying up and down across the interface, dodging that relentless Pac-Man.

Qing Meng let Hongyue carry her body, while she focused on wielding a submachine gun, firing pixel bullets crazily at Pac-Man.

Her light blue ponytail swayed like waves, and like “Metal Slug,” granular pixel bullets continuously shot out of her gun barrel, directly aimed at Pac-Man.

As the game had just begun, Pac-Man’s movement speed was still very slow. Therefore, Qing Meng could completely anticipate its trajectory and shoot with precision.

Each pixel bullet that hit Pac-Man triggered exaggerated damage effects, and Pac-Man’s body flickered momentarily.

At this moment, pixel Ke Mingye was equally busy.

He clung to the horizontal bars with his web in the 2D interface, swinging back and forth, scrambling up and down between the bars, but he couldn’t find a chance to get close to Pac-Man.

He had no long-range attack methods, so he could only lower his left hand and shoot out a web.

Accompanied by the sound of “Zi-la Zi-la,” the electricity traveled along the tough web towards Pac-Man’s back, but it was utterly unimpacted, continuing to rush forward, swallowing the dots.

Pixel Ke Mingye cursed under his breath, with a speech bubble popping above his head:[Damn it, not even a scratch.]

Accompanied by the sound effect “PA!” popping up on screen, the web soon burst apart.

In desperation, Ke Mingye, to avoid looking like he was on the sidelines, quickly used a card from instance No. 14 to summon a bunch of poisonous spiders to make his presence felt.

However, just as these spiders crawled towards Pac-Man, they were sent flying several meters like bowling pins struck by a bowling ball, smashing into the edge of the interface and turning into a pile of fragments.

Nevertheless, Ke Mingye could see that as Pac-Man continuously swallowed the dots scattered across the game interface, its speed was visibly increasing.

If they didn’t deal with it quickly, soon they would only see its afterimage, let alone land their attacks on it.

Thus, in the next instant, a row of flamboyant, colorful special effects text suddenly appeared above the pixelated Ke Mingye’s head:[Rotary Arm Fist-Guessing Skill!]

[Charging Progress: One Circle! (Power UP!)]

[Charging Progress: Two Circles! (Power More UP!)]

[Charging Progress: Three Circles! (Power UPUPUPUP!)]

Accompanied by the effects “Duang~” “Duang~” “Duang~,” the Power UP notification box kept popping over pixel Ke Mingye’s head.

For a moment, this somewhat clumsy-looking pixel character became imposing, like a suicide bomber to be feared.

Then, this pixel character, as if boosted by some special Buff, shot out webs with his left hand, grabbing them to jump up and down, while rotating his right arm, shouting something.

But his voice didn’t come out of the computer, instead, a bubble with text inside it appeared above his head–[Screw you, Pac-Man, eat my Rotary Arm Fist-Guessing Skill]

Pixel Qing Meng yelled back in response, with a message bubble popping above her head too–[Can you stop waving your arm around, are you doing a radio exercise? Do something useful!]

She kept talking while firing madly at Pac-Man.

[Boss Pac-Man’s Health: 76%-55%]

Magic Girl Hongyue, carrying Qing Meng, flew chaotically around the interface like a fly, dodging Pac-Man’s pursuit, with a speech bubble popping above her head–[It’s getting faster, we can’t drag this out!]
