Chapter 57:
Speaking of the topic, Zhang Xiangyuan finally became serious.
"Yes, they."
When he learned that the person outside the base was Tang Xiao an hour ago, he immediately decided to meet Tang Xiao before she entered the "inside" of the base.
And the chance to meet him by all means was just to pass a sentence.
"There are many players here besides us."
Tang Xiao: "I know."
At least until there is a clear way to clear the customs, it is safer to hide in a "peaceful area" with armed asylum in the face of player forces killing each other.
What's more, different players are teleported to different places at the beginning of the game, and it is difficult to keep players close to the capital at the beginning, so Tang Xiao has already made preparations for a large number of players to gather here.
But Tang Xiao knew that Zhang Xiangyuan meant more than that. If it's just ordinary players here, he doesn't need to go to great lengths to find himself.
"No, they...and us..." Zhang Xiangyuan muttered for a long time, only half a sentence: "They are them."
The remaining half of the sentence seemed to be shoved into the stomach, which sounded uncomfortable. Tang Xiao looked at Zhang Xiangyuan's tangled expression, and took the second half of the sentence: "We are us?"
They are them, we are us?
Seeing this strange scene, Tang Xiao did not continue to ask, but patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you for your reminder, I understand."
Zhang Xiangyuan took a long breath, nodded in relief, and then looked at her gratefully: "Then I'll go back first, they'll be suspicious later, come to me if you have anything."
"Good."
Watching Zhang Xiangyuan leave, Tang Xiao did not rush out, but contacted the system directly.
Contrary to the usual eager attitude of making money, the system did not move for a long time, only the customer service came out with a whimper: "Hello player, "Infinite Dooms" customer service is online for you."
Tang Xiao did not seem to have a doubtful attitude in his heart, but asked directly: "System, do you have any tasks to be assigned?"
There was a second of silence in the sea of consciousness. The system didn't expect her to ask this question, but it could only answer: "The task needs to be triggered by the player, and the game cannot tell it in advance."
This sounds true. The previous series of quests for the Hope Tinder were triggered by Tang Xiao picking up the injured researcher himself. The dungeon requires players to meet the trigger conditions. In addition to giving a supply clue, the system also came up with a bounty system that allows players to kill each other, but has not given any clear instructional tasks.
Even letting players eliminate each other is implied by points, and never directly issued an order to kill a player.
From a certain point of view, these choices are all made by the players themselves, and the system is from the point of view of a bystander from beginning to end, but it has picked itself out.
In short, it is a place worth thinking about.
Tang Xiao was not disappointed after hearing this ambiguous answer, but continued to ask: "Then open the system mall, I want to buy something."
Although the dogby system has an attitude of making money with no bottom line, it is strange that there are not many items that can be bought with money in the system mall, and almost all have a limit on the number of times, even so, Tang Xiao couldn't even afford one.
The system doesn't know why this poor ratio suddenly wants to buy something, but it still answers: "In order to balance the game ecology, the system mall will not be open when players join the base."
The props, I am afraid it will also attract some unnecessary attention. Compared with the various slapstick operations before the Goubi system, the rule of closing the mall is not too much.
However, with Zhang Xiangyuan's reminder first, and the various encounters in the star base, Tang Xiao did not think the purpose of the system would be so simple.
And through this answer, she also has a corresponding guess.
Did not give the system time to react, she continued to ask without hesitation: "Then I want to check the rewards for completing the Fire of Hope quest, is it alright?"
The "Fire of Hope Mission" refers to the virus research materials Tang Xiao and the others obtained from the researchers who escaped from the base in the city of Zhaixing City.
Although a lot of things happened in the middle, Tang Xiao still remembered that the reward displayed at the beginning was a random permission, and now he has time to wait for the system to issue it.
While urging, he did not forget to warn: "Don't try to fool me with points, understand?"
System: "…"
Other players are jealous that she has so many points, but she still dislikes it!
Although the points have not shown any practical use yet, but the players are not stupid enough to really regard these as a number to judge whether the strength is strong or not, and have not seen the previous supply Does the point battle give a point limit rule? A similar situation will inevitably occur later. Some players are still worried about missing some major opportunities in the future due to insufficient points, and Tang Xiao has already begun to dislike too many points for no use. In contrast, it makes people want to vomit blood.
Go in circles.
The system explained that this is one of the ways to cash out random rewards. Which light group Tang Xiao selects will get the corresponding permissions.
Tang Xiao didn't hesitate, reached out and clicked on the middle one, the vision disappeared in the next second, only a mysterious and mysterious feeling appeared in her mind, reminding her of the authority she had obtained —
[Customer Service Friend]: Players who have obtained this permission will fully optimize the communication channel with customer service. Except in very special circumstances, customer service shall not refuse the player's dialogue request, and shall not be unable to read the player's message. And adjust the player's event processing priority to the first team.
Immediately after, Tang Xiao saw a small flame on the chat interface between himself and the customer service in the virtual space, and when he clicked in, he could see the note: [The fire of your friendship has been lit La! Please keep up the good work! 】
Tang Xiao smacked his lips: "I'm afraid this function is not plagiarizing a goose, right? Sure enough, it's a money game."
To be fair, the game of Infinite Doom is also the world's number one conscience mobile game in the real world, and Tang Xiao, who is still a rich man, doesn't blink when he recharges money, but she just entered this game and up to now, she Accepting his status as a poor man well, he can't help but have a bit of hatred for the rich for a while. Looking at the game with a big family and a big business, the nose is not the nose, the eyes, or the eyes.
"But the pay is not bad, at least I don't have to worry about finding someone when I complain."
Although it has no practical effect, Tang Xiao is quite satisfied with this permission. She is used to the poverty of zero krypton, and she does not expect any golden fingers to explode. She usually scolds the system and customer service They always pretended to be dead and didn't see a shadow, and this time it was unavoidable.
Vaguely, she seemed to hear something spitting blood.
The next process needless to say, the base's work efficiency is quite fast, Tang Xiao and others have successively obtained the base's temporary ID card, and have been assigned a residence. And because they protect and transport important research materials, everyone has their own independent residential space, and the living conditions they enjoy are more favorable than those of many people who were taken into the base from the beginning.
Though these are probably the least important things to them right now.
The staff responsible for arranging them gave them a document, which introduced the internal situation of the base in detail, of course, it was limited to the scope that ordinary people could know.
The city is almost the same, and she even saw a lot of job postings on it.
If you put aside the game factor, being able to survive here is indeed a rare stability in the apocalypse. Whether it is Chen Lingling, who is displaced, or Zou Yiduo, who is devoted to scientific research, it is the best home.
On this day, several people did not leave their rooms at the same time, whether it was because they were concerned about their relatives and friends, whether they were sorting out and calming their minds, or for other reasons, at least on the surface, no A person is in a hurry to communicate with the outside world, but rests in his own space.
Receiving the report below, Colonel Feng nodded, not surprised. It seems that they have been exhausted from running around day and night. Even if they are excited because they come to the base, it is only after they regain their energy.
Just…
The clerk also asked cautiously: "The request from the Special Ability Division..."
On the premise, their internal affairs will be resolved by themselves.”
"Okay, I see."
On the other side, in the room where Tang Xiao was, she was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, as if she was feeling something.
As time passed, electric currents suddenly appeared around her body, which first appeared in the form of electric light, and then slowly transformed into bright white rays of light, drilling into Tang Xiao's eyebrows.
This process lasted for a long time, requiring a considerable amount of current to be converted into a little pure white filament, until Tang Xiao drained all the power of lightning that could be mobilized in the sea of knowledge, and only converted the insufficient One percent of the white energy, but even so, when she opened her eyes sweating profusely, the look on her face was much lighter than before.
As she used the power of lightning more and more proficiently and frequently, she gradually realized some problems, the most important of which was that this power was not easy to control.
Although it is my own special ability, but I don't know how to fully grasp it, this kind of feeling is not good.
So she began to consciously manipulate the power of lightning in battle to see if she could transform them into other forms of existence, but she never found a suitable answer.
Until before the capital base, when she realized her insignificance in front of the life of her former teammates and caused huge fluctuations in her mental power, the power of thunder and lightning collided with the mental power in the sea of consciousness , actually let her see a different possibility.
Through conscious control, use mental power to compress the power of lightning, until the two are combined, a new energy appears.
This new energy is very pure, it can be transformed into spiritual power, it can also be transformed into the power of lightning, and it can even be integrated into the strength of the meridian to gain ***, and it runs smoothly, just like her own One, without a sense of stagnation.
Although it requires a lot of power of lightning to transform, the energy contained in the unit does not decrease but increases!
Compared to the power of thunder and lightning, which requires her mind to control, the new energy will undoubtedly make her strength leap forward, and it is foreseeable that more ways of using it will be developed.
I just didn't know the name of this new energy, Tang Xiao thought to himself for a while, "Then call it spiritual power."
Anyway, this world is a technological world, even if it is called Balala Magic as she wishes.
So on the first day she entered the base, she devoted herself to the transformation of spiritual power until the middle of the night.
Someone who had been worried all day and had just breathed a sigh of relief was suddenly startled.
And sure enough, Tang Xiao opened the interface to contact customer service again, and he typed slowly:
"Are you there?"
