Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Shall we take a look at the exchange network mode?Before I knew it, half an hour had passed.
In that time, Instructor Ding had tried every trick in the book, attempting all sorts of methods.
For example, he
The moment Instructor Ding charged in, the Gatling barrels had already started spinning rapidly, firing blue flames!
"Dada dada dada..."
Shell casings fell like popping beans while the Gatling's muzzle spat blue flames, turning Instructor Ding into a sieve!
The players following Instructor Ding didn't fare any better; they charged into the warehouse one after another, only to fall like wheat under a scythe.
Soon, everyone who had followed Instructor Ding into the charge was dead, not a single survivor remained!
"What's going on? Does this demon not need to reload?"
Instructor Ding was baffled, as he was the first to die and, naturally, the first to respawn.
Respawning in this game only took one second, so after reviving, Instructor Ding headed back to the warehouse just in time to catch up with the tail end of the squad.
He charged again with unwavering resolve, and again, he bit the dust with the same resolve.
That was why Instructor Ding voiced his existential doubt: why doesn't it reload?
From the start to now, the demon's Gatling gun hadn't stopped firing, but here's the thing, while a Gatling gun has plenty of ammo, its rate of fire is also high.
In real life, Gatlings used while moving mostly come with 300 or 500 round ammo boxes, and in games, the ammo count for these guns is usually set around 300 or 450 as well.
But obviously, this particular Gatling was far exceeding those numbers.
"Could it be... just like in reality, it's using an ammo box with 4000 rounds??"
This guess was ludicrous, but Instructor Ding vaguely sensed that it was probably the truth.
In this ridiculous game, even the lowest-level Infernal Inferior Demon could wield an M4A1 with special effects, so what was so strange about a high-level Hell Demon using a Hellfire Gatling with 4000 rounds?
If there was a better gun available, wouldn't it be stupid not to use it?
Seeing that the recently resurrected human players were about to charge to their deaths again, Instructor Ding quickly stopped them and began explaining tactics.
"Don't just rush in headlong! Go one by one, deplete its ammo!"
Under Instructor Ding's command, the players formed a long line, charging in groups of three or five at a time.
Meanwhile, Instructor Ding was silently calculating the enemy's remaining ammunition.
According to typical game design logic, the higher the ammo count of a gun, the slower its reloading speed would be.
For a firearm with a 4000-round magazine like this one, the reload time could easily exceed ten seconds; and once the demon ran out of ammo, or couldn't control its hands due to reload fever, that would be the moment for the human players to launch a full counterattack!
Finally, after several more rounds of death, Instructor Ding roughly estimated that the enemy's 4000 rounds should be nearly spent.
He decisively ordered: "Brothers! Charge! Spread out as soon as you enter the warehouse, its ammo is almost gone!"
The human players surged in all at once, and as Instructor Ding charged into the warehouse, just as he predicted, the demon's ammunition ran out!
The impressive Hellfire Gatling's barrels were still spinning, but no longer spewing blue flames, while the enormous Hell Demon seemed to be looking down for something.
"Now's our chance!"
Instructor Ding immediately moved his mouse to aim, targeting the demon.
If everything went as he predicted, this demon would have at least ten seconds of reloading time, enough for the human players to focus fire.
But the next second, Instructor Ding froze.
Because after running out of bullets, the demon simply stretched out its claw, randomly grabbed another 4000-round ammo box connector from beside its body, inserted it into the Hellfire Gatling, and completed the reload.
Then, the Hellfire Gatling spat blue flames once more!
Although a few human players reacted quickly and fired sporadic shots that hit the demon, it seemed unaffected, not sustaining any fatal damage.
Immediately after, a deluge of Gatling bullets sent the human players who had rushed into the warehouse back to the respawn point.
"This is absurd!"
Instructor Ding was furious; he had played FPS games for many years and had never encountered anything as preposterous as this.
How could this Hellfire Gatling not only have a fast firing rate, huge killing power, and lots of ammo, but also reload so quickly?
It had reloaded in almost two seconds, which was faster than assault rifles and sniper rifles!
Is there no justice? No law?
If this wasn't a job order, Instructor Ding would have certainly raged about it, but the thought that it was a client's request quickly calmed his anger.
"Alright, it's definitely my fault no matter what, the Client Daddy can't be wrong, I just haven't found the right way to play this game..."
Instructor Ding repeated this phrase to himself a few times, quickly soothing his near-breaking point stress.
"Guys, don't rush in anymore, the main entrance has too much firepower, let's think differently, take the side door!"
