Reincarnated as an Energy with a System
chapter-863

Ning wore a white t-shirt on his way to the central hub of the service station. The lift took him away from the outer ring and soon enough he arrived at the center.

Just a few hundred meters away from him was the location where all the food in this place was grown. A few hundred meters further was the room where the main fusion reactor of this service station was located.

A few hundred meters beyond that was the room where all the Space stones were located.

Ning ignored all of these for now and went to the other side of the hub, to the top. When he arrived there, he walked over to a location he was told to visit.

At the very end of the hub was a massive glass dome that created a special room that could not be found anywhere else in this station.

It was a room with absolutely no gravity at all.

Ning walked up to a counter and said his name. The nearby people heard him and turned around immediately.

"That's him. That's Immortal Energy."

"He really came," a few of them were surprised.

Ning looked back at the people and recognized a few of the faces there. "Of course, I came," he said. "What reason do I have to run away?"

"We'll show you the reason," one of them said. Ning recognized the man's face to be similar to the one who had attacked him first.

"So… what are we doing here?" Ning asked. "What's Burst Shooter?"

"Are you serious? Have you really not played it yet?" someone asked.

"Nope, first time," Ning said as he looked around waiting for an explanation.

"Well, I would explain, but surely someone as good as you don't need my pitiful explanation right?" the man asked.

"Well… yes, you're right. I don't need your explanation at all. Let's get on with whatever I am here to do. I don't have much time to waste," Ning said. "After all, I have so many more dungeons to clear."

The group frowned and the man walked forward before entering the room. The rest of the group followed him and Ning followed them as well, wondering what exactly he was supposed to do here.

As he went in, he felt the gravity slowly get lower and lower, until he was freely floating through the air with nothing pulling him anywhere.

Ning was surprised that there was such a place, but he didn't think much of it at the moment.

"So, what do we do now?" he asked.

As he did, a bunch of droids came flying through many holes in the ground of this dome that also turned out to be spherical as well.

From what Ning saw, they brought out some sort of clothing, maybe armor, and a few guns.

'Guns?' he thought. 'So we really are shooting something. Each other maybe?'

"Wear it," the man who was challenging him first asked.

Ning shrugged and wore the armor. The armor seemed to glow on its own as it glowed red the entire time he was wearing it, and once he was done, it glowed green once he was done.

Then, another droid came up to him and gave him two guns to use. Ning looked at the futuristic gun that didn't even have a proper hole for the bullet to come out of.

'Do they even use bullets?' he wondered.

Just then, he heard a high-pitched sound and turned around to see the man firing his gun. However, while he did fire the gun, and the gun did make some sound, there was no bullet coming out of the gun.

At least, not one he could see. Still, the droid he shot showed red light, making Ning think there were indeed invisible bullets.

"Are you ready?" the man asked him.

"Uh… one second," Ning said and pointed both his guns towards the droid that the man had shot and pulled the trigger himself.

Suddenly, a burst of air flew out from the gun, and Ning was sent tumbling backward aas that was the only force acting on his body at the moment. With no gravity, it would take him forever to stand upright in this place.

Although, the concept of up and down didn't make much sense here anyway.

Ning didn't understand what had happened with his guns, so he shot them again to see if they would push him back.

They did, and so Ning used it to get himself back into stability. He looked at the gun, wondering if he was given the wrong one.

That was when he noticed something.

At the side of the gun where his thumb was, there was a button with two words written on each side of it.

Burst and Shoot.

At the moment, the guns were in 'Burst' mode.

"Maybe…" Ning thought and changed his guns to 'Shoot' and shot again. This time no powerful burst of air came out. What came out was only a small sound that told him he had fired.

Ning couldn't see the 'bullet', but something had landed on the droid and it had turned red for a few seconds before changing back to regular white colors.

'Oh,' Ning thought and shot again. He tried to count the time it took for the invisible bullet to land and it was about 0.5 seconds to 0.8 seconds at most.

Ning changed the guns back into burst mode and shot it towards his right at a certain angle. The moment he shot, the burst of air pushed him aside, fast enough so that he could dodge any attacks that might come his way.

"Oh… so that's what it's all about," he understood. He was supposed to use 'Shoot' mode to shoot the target and use 'Burst' mode to dodge. He looked toward the man and said, "Let's fight."

The rest of the group cleared up, going to the outer edges of the dome, ready to watch this round of Burst Shooter between the two of them.
