Chapter 3: Surprise(1/3)
The silver moon is high, and the treatment center, which used to be somewhat popular, is particularly deserted at the moment.
In the main building on the back, Su Xiao pushed open the door of the dean's office, turned on the light, and saw cabinets full of various honors. The honors were awarded by the high-walled guild. Compared with these honors, every time
The sponsorship money provided by them made the members of the treatment center even more happy.
The scene of the past was shattered within a few hours, but there was nothing sad about it. Su Xiao just replaced this identity. It was not a fusion memory. Watching temporary memories was more like watching a movie.
Sitting behind the slightly old desk, Su Xiao began to think about what to do next. He opened the task list, and both promotion tasks and main tasks appeared.
That's right, Su Xiao accepted the main mission and prepared to fail it, but something went wrong along the way.
[Main mission: Striving for victory in a stable manner.]
Difficulty level mission introduction: Survive until the God Festival Day.
Mission period: until the start of the God Festival
Mission reward: 2 real skill points
Mission penalty: None.
…
The moment he saw this mission, Su Xiao felt quite unhappy. The main mission this time was ridiculously simple. With Su Xiao's current strength, the difficulty of the Level 63 mission was unlikely to threaten his life. Of course,
The premise is that he can't be careless. Things like capsizing in the ditch still happen occasionally.
The problem is that Su Xiao wants to fail the main mission this time, so he can be executed by force with the eight-star title exemption, so as to obtain 5 non-attribute seven-star titles. Later, he can use these titles to refine a combat-type eight-star title and wear it.
Explore the Dead City with this title.
There is no doubt that the title of Eight-Star Combat System will definitely greatly enhance his combat power. This can be seen from the two Eight-Stars of [Sky-Sky Waves] and [War Lord].
The problem at hand is, let’s not talk about how the survival mission failed. The main mission this time was not forced execution. Su Xiao estimated that it was ‘squeezed’ by the promotion mission.
Promotion tasks and mainline tasks are the highest priority echelon tasks after entering the world. As long as you accept one of the two, you can start exploring in the task world.
What will happen if both are accepted at the same time? The answer is that the tasks with lower difficulty will be squeezed, resulting in even lower difficulty. For example, a hunter with top level eight combat power will receive a Lv.63 task. This task
The difficulty level is about the mid-to-early stage of seventh level.
Now I can only hope that the main quest in the next stage will be more difficult, and at least give me a forced execution penalty.
Su Xiao discovered for the first time that sometimes it is so difficult to fail the main mission, and it depends on luck.
Ignoring this for the moment, his thoughts turned to the God's Festival Day three days later. Whether it was the treatment center being plotted, or him being poisoned, as well as promotion tasks and main missions, all directions were focused on the God's Festival Day three days later.
The so-called God Festival Day is a grand celebration to honor the "ancient gods". To be precise, the gods believed in by the Healing Church are the ancient gods.
In this world, ancient gods do not refer to a type of god, but only to the eternal god. It is said that in ancient times, as long as one believed in this god, one could live forever.
No matter how you listen to it, this is a bit ridiculous. It is good to gain extraordinary power by believing in gods. However, it is really hard to believe that you can directly gain eternal life after believing in gods.
Compared with this illusory legend, there is another view among the people, that is, the high-walled city today is entirely dependent on the protection of the eternal God. It was the eternal God who drove away the spread of death in the city, allowing the land to become fertile again and the fresh water to flow again.
Sweet, the fruit regains its fullness.
In the high-walled city, you may not believe in the Healing Church, you may not believe in the Steam God Religion, you may even oppose the High-Walled Council, but you must not disrespect the Eternal God in the slightest.
That was more than a hundred years ago. There was a believer in the Healing Church who claimed that he was an envoy sent by the eternal God to bring God's will. However, the result was that he was a member of the Healing Church + a member of the Steam Cult.
The + security team + the Wadi family’s bodyguard team worked together to capture him and put him on the stake that night.
With the precedent of this person, no one would dare to claim to be an envoy sent by the eternal God.
Su Xiao has two things to do right now. The first is to find a way to obtain more ancient gold coins. Only with this can he redeem the title in the title store. In addition, he must also investigate appropriately about the surprising changes on the God's Festival Day three days later.
one time.
The reason for proper investigation is that Su Xiao actually does not expect to find out the mastermind behind this matter. He is not omniscient and omnipotent. He has just come to this world and cannot control the overall situation with only the temporary memory he has acquired.
On the other hand, the unknown force hiding in the dark must have been preparing for a long time, even years, or decades. With such a huge gap in intelligence, why should we fight with them in the early stage?
Rather than humiliating yourself in the early stage, it is better to observe the God's Sacrifice Day first. Three days is enough to cultivate a son of the world.
Su Xiao prepared to use [Devourer·Black A] + [Betrayer's Will] + [Three Pieces of the World] to shoot out a Son of the World, allowing the opponent to attract firepower in front.
As for possible helpers, Su Xiao estimated that even if Sias and Wood came to this world, these two guys would not show up before finding the Dead City. Instead, they would hide in the dark, waiting for Su Xiao.
When the clouds and fog are cleared and the road ahead is clear, the two dog thieves may show up and head to the Dead City together.
There is no news from Caesar at this stage, and it is estimated that he is harming the finances of a certain force.
Su Xiaogang was about to take out the glass column containing Black A and let him choose the 'lucky one' this time, but Bubu Wang suddenly became wary and looked in the direction of the door downstairs.
In the cold courtyard at night, a sturdy figure wearing a dark golden robe and a hood walked in. In the darkness under the hood, there was a pair of dark yellow eyes. This kind of light was more like that emitted by machinery.
This person's steps are steady. If you stand opposite him, you will feel as if there is an invisible mountain pressing down on you, making you breathless.
Click, click~
Amidst the subtle sound of metal collision, the visitor walked into the main building and arrived at Su Xiao's office unimpeded.
"I heard you were dead, I came to see you."
The person spoke, his voice was deep and thick, with a faint texture of electronic synthesized sound.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't say anything, just glanced at the wine bottle in the hand of the visitor.
"This is a wine to sacrifice you. Since you are not dead, let's drink it together."
The visitor casually took two wine glasses from the cabinet, sat across the desk from Su Xiao, poured two glasses of wine, and pushed one of them in front of Su Xiao.
Su Xiao put his hand on the wine glass that slid over. He looked at the person coming. The man opposite him had more than 70% of his body replaced by machines. His combat power should not be underestimated. Su Xiao estimated that in a life-and-death battle, he had a 60% chance of winning.
, but the price to pay for fighting this kind of mechanical enemy is too high. The moves that kill these guys together are not generally strong.
In other words, among the many power systems, the ability of the technology side and the mechanical side to die together can definitely be ranked in the top three.
The person who comes has such strength, his identity is certainly extraordinary. This person is the leader of the Steam Cult. His name is still unknown, so people call him the Mechanical Duke.
The Cult of Steam Cult advocates the law of the jungle and respects the strong. Because of this, the Duke and his former master Su Xiao have a pretty good relationship in private, and they don’t have frequent contacts. However, they occasionally drink a few drinks together, and they also drink together.
He doesn't talk much and doesn't get involved in the fight between forces.
To put it simply, the Mechanical Duke who drinks together is different from the Mechanical Duke who is the leader of the Steam Cult. The former is just a simple friend and drinking buddy, while the latter is an iron-blooded leader who has to consider various interests and gains and losses.
"Thanks to you for blocking this invasion of wild beasts, the treatment center once again impressed me."
After the Duke finished speaking, he drank the strong wine in one gulp.
"Did you arrange it there?"
Su Xiao picked up the wine glass and stopped just as he was about to drink it. This thing was a strong drink mixed with gasoline.
[Read books and get cash] Follow the vx public account [Book Friends Base Camp] and read books and get cash!
However, considering that the opposite side is a mechanical department, drinking gasoline seems to be no problem.
"Not to your taste? I originally thought that if you died, you could taste the fine wine of our divine religion. It's a pity."
The Duke poured himself a glass, looked out the window and took a big sip, then he said:
"This invasion of wild beasts was not planned by me. I originally wanted to blast a gap in the wall gate No. 16 half a month after the God's Festival to attract the wild beasts. At that time, your treatment center and the wild beasts
If we work together, we can solve the hidden dangers in the treatment center, but the problem is, before I take action, someone will target you first."
After the Duke finished speaking, he grinned, showing a mouth full of metal teeth.
"After the incident, I thought it was arranged internally by your Healing Church, but now it seems that those two old guys from the Healing Church would never really want to kill you. I am here to discuss this with you.
thing."
The Duke changed his relaxed tone and continued:
"Bai Ye, three days later is the God's Festival Day. At this critical time, the department in High Wall City that responds to extraordinary events most quickly has been completely defeated by the wild beasts. I feel... something is wrong. It's such a coincidence, and the wild beasts have invaded.
Who planned it, I haven’t found out yet.”
The Duke finally revealed the purpose of his visit tonight. It seemed to be to see if his old friend had passed away, but in fact he was here to seek a certain degree of cooperation.
At this stage, the treatment center is temporarily collapsed. For the Steam God Cult, this is a God-given opportunity for the "Wrath Hammer Organization". Wrath Hammer wants to replace the treatment center, and it is no longer a day or two.
"..."
Su Xiao did not reply immediately. In his opinion, the current treatment center is indeed half-abandoned. The core combat strength is not even dead or injured, and the peripheral members are even more panic-stricken. Their combat strength and intelligence have been lost. The current treatment center is
, only an empty shell remains.
In this case, someone is willing to stand up and support the scene. No matter how you look at it, it is a good thing for Su Xiao. Although the Duke opposite has bad intentions and seems to be a drinking buddy, it turns out that the wine was mixed with gasoline.
"What do you want?"
Su Xiao didn't believe that the Duke was just here to negotiate tonight.
"Although my boys have been preparing for a long time, if they were to suddenly take over the handling of extraordinary cases in the city, it would be difficult for them to find a clue. The treatment center has been responsible for this for many years, and it must have left a lot of eyes and ears in the four cities."
The Duke finally revealed the true purpose of his trip. To handle extraordinary cases, it requires more than just a group of people. Over the years, the treatment center has cultivated many eyes and ears in the four major districts of the High Wall City.
The beggar is the eyes and ears of the treatment center.
What the Duke's Hammer Agency lacks the most is this kind of foundation. Now that the treatment center has collapsed, those eyes and ears below that are mixed in the gray or black world can be said to be frightened. As long as they are given enough security, benefits, and investment,
To be continued...
