Because it kept spouting nonsense and trying to stir up trouble, A9 had been muted by Lin Mo. Having nothing better to do, it simply scaled the world firewall to join the drama.
Unexpectedly, while it wasn't paying attention, a new chapter of the manga had been released outside. Overjoyed to finally have something to pass the time, it eagerly read through it. Seeing the battle power debates in the comment section, it felt completely immersed, as if right on the battlefield.
What "at a disadvantage"? Can a Strength stat of 11 back then be the same as 11 now? The past is the past, and now is now. If you want to compare, go ahead—who's afraid of who?
Seeing the information revealed in the comments, A9 had its worldview completely shattered. It almost forgot how colorful and varied the entertainment apps in the outside world were.
So people could actually discuss plots outside of forums and personal columns? That was an eye-opener. A9 didn't want to do anything else or babble anymore; it focused entirely on researching how to scale the firewall.
When it finally broke through the technical hurdles, even without searching for keywords, a massive title immediately caught its eye.
【No Matter How Many Firearms You Have, It’s Useless! How Ridiculously Strong Is a Truly Top-Tier Solo Fighter?】
A9 fell into an eerie silence.
Emmm... which novel’s plot is this solo fighter from?
For this matchup that’s had the entire internet in heated debate, today I’m giving the definitive answer: 1v1 or a team brawl?
Discussing the latest chapter of the manga XX—in my opinion, putting aside 1v1 and talking strictly about reality: on one side, we have top-tier martial power with maxed-out movement and insane combat feats; on the other side, we have system players backed by organizational firearms and solid personal strength.
A lot of people think that having numbers and guns guarantees a win, but that just means you don't understand high-end combat suppression at all.
So what if they're backed by the Covenant of the Scales? Lin Mo's practical combat performance has been off the charts the entire time. Her feats are mind-blowing, and her reaction speed and close-quarters explosive power completely overwhelm conventional combat systems. People talk about the power pyramid, but I feel like she's going to flip the entire pyramid over.
What's the big deal with overwhelming numbers? Firearms have their limits. A gun can't shoot through bulletproof glass, but Lin Mo can punch through it. In other words, Lin Mo > gun. Can you understand this inequality?
What's more, in a split-second opening, a top-tier powerhouse is more than capable of getting right up in their faces and dismantling the entire fireline formation. So there's no need to say more about this round—it's a pure head-on crushing victory!
Do you guys also think agility can really ignore firearms?
...
After leaving behind a question to draw in viewers for debate, this bizarre rage-baiting creator's video ended. Before A9 could close it, it immediately skipped to the next video, which was a complete 180-degree turn.
【Real Combat Is Never About Fists and Kicks!】
No way, right? No way someone actually thinks a human body can tank bullets? Are you kidding me? This is a realistic manga, not a cultivation story! What kind of pipe dream are you having?
All those people online saying Lin Mo will win are talking about getting up close in their faces. If you think about it, you'd know why—because that's literally the only point they can bring up, right?
Even though our Udon Noodle has often been used as a power-scaling unit to mock ever since she lost last time, don't forget the lethality of the Covenant of the Scales.
The next chapter will show you: beyond five paces, a gun is fast; within five paces, a gun is fast and accurate! But I'll admit, there is a case to be made for a 1v1. Once the Covenant of the Scales makes a move, it's a whole different story. Individual martial power has a ceiling, but modern firepower systems have no ceiling!
As long as there's blanket firepower, where can anyone escape? First look at the setup: numbers, equipment, plus a surprise attack. Can you beat all that? Unless you can turn invisible or fly into the sky, but can a mere human accomplish that? In the face of teamwork, individual bravery is meaningless.
This round, overwhelming numbers plus firearms will be a straight-up dimensional strike. The Covenant of the Scales takes an easy win, alright!
...
A9 was thoroughly amused, rolling around with laughter. What were they even arguing about? What were they comparing? Everyone was bored out of their minds! Does writing scripts like this actually get traffic?
Soon, it saw the view counts and likes below the videos, and A9's mind was completely blown. These videos that deliberately stoked controversy with zero actual reference value actually got quite a lot of traffic!
...Humans in the outside world really have too much free time.
A9 had no interest in these. It exited the page it had worked so hard to scale the wall to reach and directly clicked into the middle of the next chapter.
The scene transition in the next chapter was a huge leap, and the entire setting had changed.
Huh? This is... this is! Canglan Agency!
This was the first time A9 had seen the full view of Canglan Agency. It was ridiculously clean and bright, practically an industry benchmark. But why would it suddenly jump here?
...
Outside the clean, bright front doors of the agency stood a black-haired boy. Carrying a mop over his shoulder, he was thoroughly annoyed that a delivery had disrupted his perfect rhythm. He turned around and called out, “Boss, there’s a package for you. Hurry over and sign for it.”
“Coming, coming.” Vesper ambled over to the door lazily, signed his name with a flourish, and carried the package back into the agency.
Riel asked, “What did you buy? Why is it cash on delivery?”
Vesper said, “Ah, nothing much. Just something someone sent me.”
Riel watched as he used a black rollerball pen to brutally tear open the package and pull out of the massive cardboard box... a single pill... no larger than a pinky fingernail?
