Earth's Best Gamer - Chapter 491
Chapter 491: Special Heroes: Tanya, Yuriko
“What’s so special about that?” Qin Yueyu and Su Nongying asked.
“Well, it’s a special edition of the original Red Alert.
“In this version, everything on the Chidragon side is enhanced, from the troops and buildings to tanks, submarines, and aircraft carriers.”
Mister Bug chuckled.
“Take the soldiers as an example.
“In this game, the cost of training a Chidragon soldier is only half of that of an Ameagle one, but the Chidragon soldier is capable enough to fight two Ameagle soldiers at once. Moreover, after the upgrade, a Chidragon soldier can single-handedly destroy a phantom tank. Yes, it’s the type you saw just then, the one that can change into a tree,” Guo Wei said, adjusting his glasses.
“Isn’t that too over the top, destroying a tank all by oneself?”
One of the new players sounded unconvinced.
“In a game, yes, but it’s quite normal in the Land of Inheritance,” Guo Wei said calmly.
From the image, the attack of the phantom tank seemed to be at the level of Extraordinary Rank-6 or Rank-7. Many members of Dragon City could fend it off.
Although during WWIII, the Chidragon army might still be inferior to the top forces of the world in terms of equipment and weapons, after the WWI and WWII that lasted for half a century, the discipline, bloodthirstiness, and their dauntless minds cultivated by the wars definitely made it one of the toughest forces in WWIII.
Strictly speaking, in this special edition, the Chidragon army had been enhanced by too much. Too many individual soldiers were able to destroy high-tech weapons all by themselves.
Even if Red Alert was famous enough to be in the same league as Command and Conquer, the Perfect game, the imbalance would reduce the evaluation of this edition to Excellent or Refined.
It was only well-remembered in Chidragon because it was played by many people who were born in the 90s.
Thanks to its popularity, it was transformed by a Superior Book of Civilization in the Land of Inheritance.
“In that case, it’s not a bad thing.
“Things are looking good for us!”
Elder Meng moved his porcelain teacup and inhaled the white steam in the shape of a divine bird.
This Enlightenment Tea was made with the water from the Dense Fog settlement. Drinking it over time would enhance one’s spirit and mind.
“Yes, it looks good for us.
“But we have some trouble as well.”
Ji Ye nodded, then shook his head.
The Red Alert background was both good news and bad news for Dragon City.
The good news was that the game involved a lot of advanced technology, which would greatly improve Dragon City’s technology level.
The bad news was that the game covered the entire world, meaning that the heroes summoned wouldn’t be limited to Chidragon background.
That would pose some difficulty to the management of the Dream City.
Theoretically, Dragon City could add the “from Chidragon” requirement to all sacrificial rituals,
but it would cause another problem. Since the Transcendent technologies in Red Alert belonged to different countries, each country would have its own technology. For instance, magnetic weapons mainly belonged to Urssia, whereas Teleportation was mainly used by the Allies.
Because of that, summoning Chidragon heroes only wouldn’t give Dragon City all the advanced technologies.
Elder Jiao shook his head and added, “According to real history, I don’t think Einstein would want to come to a settlement that has a restriction on nationality or ethnicity.”
Because of that, Dragon City couldn’t explicitly restrict nationality.
Moreover, the truth was that, due to historical reasons, Chidragon had made outstanding literary achievements in history, but in terms of technology, there were significantly fewer heroes in that aspect than in western countries.
Because of that, to enhance Dragon City’s technology, they couldn’t summon Chidragon heroes only.
Seeing that the others were hesitating, An Quan said decisively, “Well, I don’t think we need to worry too much.
“The background of this sub-settlement is Chidragon’s Glory, which means that the heroes summoned will mainly be from Chidragon, and they’ll be more capable than heroes of other countries!”
Yes, it was Chidragon’s Glory!
After that, the first round of sacrificial ritual using 20 Souls of Civilization and offerings in the new Dream City sub-settlement proved that An Quan was right.
Of the 20 new natives, there were ten Chidragon people and ten foreigners.
However, all the natives summoned by Elite Souls of Civilization were from Chidragon. They wore green military uniforms and stood ramrod straight.
[Elite Chidragon Soldiers]
[Level: Ordinary Rank-7]
[Rarity: Elite]
[Description: The soldiers of Chidragon, who have undergone all difficulties, are extremely uncommon in their will and fighting ability, making the other countries afraid of them.]
Moreover, there were three Extraordinary Souls of Civilization.
They summoned three members of the Chidragon Dragon Strike Force, one pilot, and one magnetic storm infantry soldier.
The two Quasi-Commander Souls of Civilization summoned a Caucasian spy and an Asian engineer.
Because of the Chidragon’s Glory background, all the Chidragon soldiers summoned were Elite, whereas the foreign soldiers were only Common.
The difference gave Chidragon proper cause to promote Chidragon soldiers to work as grass-root officials to ensure the loyalty of the army.
As for Extraordinary-level soldiers, they would form an individual unit later, and Dragon City would appoint some commanders for them.
That way, the problem with nationalities would be resolved.
However, this only concerned Extraordinary and Common members. Transcendent heroes were different.
The five Special offerings summoned three Caucasians and two Asians, of which four were women and one was a man.
“Nice to meet you, sir!”
One of the female heroes was the first hero to be summoned by a Superior offering, and the management team was already familiar with her.
Because she was the blonde female officer in the image earlier, who had used her guns and explosives to kill nearly a hundred Urssia soldiers.
[Tanya]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-9]
[Rarity: Commander]
[Description: The most legendary secret agent of Ameagle. She could kill a man in 15 ways, was a master in guns and explosives, and she was very capable both in water and on land.]
“Wow, it’s Tanya. She’s definitely the most famous hero in the entire Red Alert series!”
Mister Bug’s gaze was so intense when he stared at her chest that his eyes were practically on fire.
“Behave yourself.”
Ji Ye was a little speechless.
However, he couldn’t deny that he also found the strong and curvaceous Tanya very attractive.
Of course, it wasn’t that he was expecting something to happen.
After all, as a character of the Allies in the game, Tanya had the ability to kill and destroy every creature or building with the Black Eagle pistols and C4 explosives that she carried.
Maybe that ability would become her talent skill in the Land of Inheritance.
The second hero that was summoned was the only man this time, and he was Caucasian as well.
[Sigfred]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-9]
[Rarity: Commander]
[Description: Sigfred used to work alongside Albert Einstein and was very close to the man. He had to some extent obtained hyperspace technology.]
“Welcome, Commander Sig!”
Ji Ye’s eyes lit up when he saw the attributes of the Special hero.
To Dragon City, the most attractive technology in Red Alert was the “hyperspace technology” created by Einstein.
However, it would be some time before Dragon City could summon him.
Although Sigfred wasn’t very famous in the game, since he had worked with Einstein before and knew some of the hyperspace technology, once he became Transcendent and unlocked his memory of that level, he might offer more benefit to Dragon City than Tanya would.
Apart from them, the three other offerings all summoned Excellent female heroes.
“Здравствыйте!”
One of them had tanned skin, wore a beret, and had long legs that Mister Bug couldn’t peel his eyes off. She was an expert in electromagnetic sniper rifles, and her name was Natasha.
“こんにちは!”
The other two were Asians.
They had sweet features and looked like twins. They sounded quite lively when they spoke. Their names were Yuriko and Noizumi, and they were superpower users from Jaipan.
The Transcendent heroes summoned by the Special offerings were all foreigners.
That wasn’t the most ideal situation.
Red Alert was an Ameagle game, and in WWIII, Chidragon only had limited influence on the overall situation.
In the original game, there was no Chidragon army. Naturally, there were no Chidragon Transcendent heroes.
But if Ji Ye had remembered correctly, in Chidragon’s Glory, Chidragon did have a hero.
And he was more powerful than heroes of other forces.
Theoretically, he should have chosen to come to a Chidragon settlement, but why didn’t he?
“It probably has something to do with the level of the offerings.
“After all, he’s very famous, and not just in this game.”
An Quan made a guess.
All the offerings they used this time were dropped by the Dense Fog race, and the highest level offerings were only Superior.
“Alright. Show the new commanders around our settlement.”
Hearing An Quan’s words, Ji Ye gave it some thought and went back to his room.
The Elite Chidragon soldiers wouldn’t be enough to secure the settlement. In the first-batch heroes, there had to be at least one Transcendent hero from Chidragon.
He had obtained a lot of contribution points from destroying the yakshas and the Dense Fog. It would be enough for him to fuse a Perfect offering.
