9 Chapter 9: "Ding, congratulations to player Scar Dog for activating the Race Declares War Card!"

"Bang, bang, bang."

Silent gunshots kept ringing in the wilderness, shrouded in the night.

Kerr Cowell and the others quickly searched and took all the items from Culver's body, then quickly left this place.

These corpses did not need to be handled.

After it's dark, the mutated beasts will take care of these unclaimed corpses.

As for the blood-stained brown soil... no one would care about that, there are plenty of such scenes in the wilderness.

The bullets fired by the Self-controlled Rotating Turret of Steel Sword have no physical form, they are light bullets.

It can be roughly understood as converting the energy in the bullet shell into bullets and firing them out.

And Kerr Cowell has enhanced the ammo capacity of the autoturret, increasing the energy in the bullet shell several times.

Yes, it's not reasonable.

But ever since the world was thrown into this strange world, there are even more unreasonable things than reasonable ones, and he has already gotten used to it.

...

The two didn't immediately return to the Ruins Site to occupy Culver's territory.

Instead, after a simple clean-up of traces, they stayed not far from the Ruins Site, holding their breath and waiting patiently.

They must be clear about whether the security guards in the Ruins Site have noticed the movement here.

Otherwise, rushing back to the Ruins Site would be throwing themselves into the net.

A moment later.

There was no movement in the Ruins Site, and the strong light on the crane didn't light up either.

It seemed as if they hadn't noticed this side at all.

At this time -

The sky had completely darkened.

They could already faintly hear the roars of mutated beasts not far away.

Kerr Cowell and Scar Dog looked at each other.

Not saying a word, they picked up their bags, bent down and sneaked back into the Ruins Site, occupying the territory that Culver's gang had previously held.

...

"Phew!"

After everything was settled, Scar Dog exhaled lightly and sat on a pad made of discarded clothes, staring at the shotgun beside him with a dazed expression, mumbling.

"It's hard to imagine that I've now become a person who kills indiscriminately."

"How can it be called 'indiscriminately'?"

While checking out the newly obtained items in front of him, Kerr Cowell casually said without raising his head, "We've been planning this for a long time."

"I mean, even though we were law-abiding citizens just three months ago, now we've become people who can kill without blinking an eye."

"It's normal."

Kerr Cowell stared at the item in his hand, his brow furrowing slightly, and said nonchalantly, "Being a law-abiding citizen on the Blue Star is in line with the survival rules of that world; killing people here is in line with the survival rules of this world."

"Humans have good adaptability, and fortunately, we're doing well in this aspect."

"Uh... so it's not our fault, but the world's?"

"That's right. If this world were like the Blue Star, we could still be law-abiding citizens, even after going through time travel, so one more clause could be added to the rules, like... not discriminating against travelers or something."

"So... it's not that we want to kill people, it's that this world is forcing us to kill."

"Full marks for understanding."

"It's just... 'the world is wrong, not me,' this sentence... sounds pretty chuuni."

"It is quite chuuni. After all, those who usually say this are generally antagonists with miserable family histories or the like."

Kerr Cowell casually tossed an item to Scar Dog's arms, "Alright, let's not talk about these. Check out this item."

Scar Dog's eyebrows lifted slightly as he took the item in his hand.

"Item Name": Race Declaration of War.

"Item Level": None.

"Item Effect": After use, the player may freely choose to join any race and declare war on other races on behalf of that race.

"Item Introduction": Join a certain race and acquire the exclusive talents of that race.

"ps": Some changes may occur in body shape when joining some races.

"What's this?"

Scar Dog was startled, a trace of horror flashed through his eyes, "What does it mean 'to join any race'? I originally thought that when people from all over the world were thrown into this world, it was to be enemies with the indigenous people of this world."

"Now it seems that it's a great chaos, and different races are all enemies?"

"Hmm."

Kerr Cowell shrugged and agreed, "It can be roughly understood that way. Maybe it can be seen as a battle royale game, just with... a few more people."

"But we've been in this world for three months, and apart from the indigenous people of this world, we haven't seen any other races."

"It means we're still safe for now. Maybe in some places, the Battle of All Races has already begun."

"It's not like that..."

Scar Dog frowned, staring at the blue small card in his hand somewhat puzzled, "Even if that's the case, this big issue of declaring war on other races is really easily decided by this small card?"

"I'm not sure, maybe we can try."

After tapping his finger on the table for a while, Kerr Cowell said thoughtfully, "It might just be a voting system, and only when a certain number of votes are reached will a formal declaration of war be made."

Scar Dog licked the corner of his mouth and sighed helplessly. After crushing the card in his hand, he said, "I always feel that with our current position, we don't have the qualifications to declare war. It would be nice if we weren't slaughtered."

The next second after the card was crushed-

A virtual, semi-transparent screen appeared in front of his eyes.

"Ding, congratulations to player Scar Dog for activating the Race Declares War Card!"

"Please choose a race."

"Human Race, Lizard Race, Goblin Race, Mechanical Race..."

Kerr Cowell leaned his head in, carefully counted, and concluded in his heart, there were a total of 97 races.

"A battle of 97 races."

Scar Dog's face darkened and he said grimly, "Mr. Jacob... how many people will die in this?"

"Hard to say."

Kerr Cowell shook his head seriously, "If it really is a battle of 97 races, where the survival of the fittest is taking place in such a world, then the history of this world will surely torment future students to the point of tears."

"Which race are you going to choose?"

"Consider the Titan Race? According to the race introduction, it should improve your skinny build."

"Forget it."

Scar Dog shook his head, "I'll choose the Human Race. I can't accept the idea of slaughtering humans together with the Titan Race."

"Alright, being a human is more comfortable."

Soon-

Another screen appeared in front of Scar Dog.

"Ding, congratulations to player Scar Dog for successfully choosing the Human Race."

"Successfully acquired the exclusive talent of the Human Race - Phoenix Nirvana."

"In recognition of player Scar Dog being the first player to open the Human Race camp in the Arena of All Races, the Human Race camp will be officially opened in the Arena within three days."

"All players of other races can freely choose whether to join the Human Race."
