Abnormal paradise

Different from the first assessment, the settlement screen turned into an interactive animation. From a third-person perspective, Ember saw the subsequent changes in the paradise world.

The revelation of the gardener incident caused an uproar. Because the wasteland world was of great concern, all forces requested to enter the manor.

The farmer and the shepherd boy, who had always been hostile, felt the threat coming and chose to unite for the first time. However, the directors, doctors, and commanders of the Foundation united to put pressure on the Supreme Council of the Foundation, and finally forced the Supreme Council to issue an ultimatum, ordering the farmers to completely open the Dark Veil Forest. At the same time, leaders of the scavenger and the university also came forward to persuade the shepherd boy, so that the manor, which the two regarded as forbidden, was completely exposed to the world.

Farmers and shepherd boys who destroyed many scientific research equipment and precious materials out of anger realized that there were still many secrets they didn't know about hidden in the manor, so they decided to investigate the manor thoroughly in anger.

The perspective suddenly changed, and Yi Yan saw many fully armed soldiers surrounding another gardener's hut in the manor.

On the four operating tables in the cabin, there were lying on the unconscious Sunflower Driver, Piranha Tour Guide, and two game characters, a cat and a dog. Judging from the way they were covered with bandages, it was clear that they had just received a surgery. field surgery. A burly figure was packing up medical equipment and flushing various reagents into the sewer. He turned around, took off his mask, and looked at the four figures with an inexplicable smile on his face.

gardener!

Seeing the appearance of the second gardener, Yi Yan instantly realized what the other person was thinking.

There is a gardener symbiosis inside and outside the Dark Veil Forest, which can not only paralyze farmers and shepherd boys, but also monitor changes in the Dark Veil Forest at all times. They use their natural affinity to allow the animals and plants in the manor to ignore various abnormal changes, making them The "outsider" farmers and shepherd boys have been kept in the dark. Unfortunately, the spatial fluctuations still showed their flaws, and then revealed the secret of the Dark Curtain Forest.

Knowing that his life was coming to an end, the gardener did not show any fear or melancholy, and opened the door and walked out calmly.

He faced the muzzles of the guns and shouted the end of his declaration of revenge:

"When I return, the lands of the manor will flow with lava, and the streams will be lit by the Dark Veil.

The partner who lives with me will be reborn in the fire.

Join me in writing your crimes with blood and cage you for eternity. "

As soon as the words fell, gunshots rang out. The farmers and shepherd boys were completely furious and ordered him to be killed. They were determined to find the gardener in the wasteland world and avoid future troubles.

The scene changed again, and Ember found himself back at the Foundation's Hidden Facility No. 19. The "young blood vine" he obtained from the gardener was subjected to a series of analysis and research by the science and technology department, and various complex data were obtained. As the top manager, the old man in a suit, after checking the data, decided to transfer the "Young Blood Vine" to the equipment manufacturing department, and finally made it into an accessory.

[Tip: You have obtained the mission prop - the equipment (accessory) "Blood Vine Bracelet". 】

…

[Blood Vine Bracelet] (infancy/mission props)

Equipment type: Accessories

Equipment special effect 1: HP +20, Sanity +10

Equipment special effect 2: Virus resistance (weak level, highest immunity to weak level virus infection, can grow)

Equipment special effect three: Fear resistance (weak level, the highest immunity to the fear effect of weak level, can grow)

Equipment effect four: Swallow·Growth (Swallowing the "life core" can improve the equipment effect.)

Requirements: None

Introduction: The body of the blood vine bracelet is a vine originating from the wasteland world. Its growth environment is extremely special, and it is fused with the blood of the gardener, giving it extraordinary growth capabilities. But because of this, without the original growth environment and without the blood of the gardener as its foundation, the life span of the blood vine will be greatly shortened. In order to cope with the upcoming exploration mission, not only its life potential has been over-stimulated, but also it has been made into an easy-to-carry accessory. When the exploration is over, its life will also come to an end, unless it can grow to its extreme state within a limited time.

[Tip: This equipment is a mission prop, and players can only hold it for one assessment cycle. 】

…

"This thing is extremely important. It depends on whether you can survive in the wasteland and whether you can complete the mission. Be sure to keep it safe!"

The person in charge of the control center handed the [Blood Vine Bracelet] to the hands of Ember who could act, and said with great satisfaction: "I have read your assessment report this time, and your performance was extremely good. You did not live up to the expectations of the supervisor and me, even if Looking at all the new employees, your results are enough to be among the best. Although you are not a reality bender, your performance in the same period is not inferior to them, so the supervisor decided to submit a quota application to the Supreme Council and send you there Looking for [Stairway to the Sun] in the wasteland world."

Then, the person in charge of the control center called up a picture with gene fragments drawn on it.

"In order to dispel your concerns, the supervisor allows me to reveal the secrets of the paradise world to you in advance. As you know, our world is not the only one. At the same time that you and I are talking, there are creatures from another world. Doing various things. That world and the paradise world are parallel worlds, but they are not completely isolated. They are like a genetic chain, spiraling forward, supporting each other, and influencing each other."

Speaking of this, the eyes of the person in charge of the control center flashed with enthusiasm. He waved his hand casually, and the gene fragments began to twist, sometimes connecting end to end, sometimes colliding and merging.

"Life and the world are different after all. Although there are many similarities between the two, the operating rules must not be confused. The intersection and entanglement of time and the erosion and fusion of space and space make the paradise world occasionally have abnormal phenomena related to the past and the future. Sometimes it is even the past and future of parallel worlds. For example, the wasteland world you are about to enter is not the "fairy tale" world on the same timeline as ours, but the future world of the fairy tale world."

Following the introduction by the person in charge of the control center, the picture screen changed and was replaced by two unfinished world compositions. Yi Yan saw that the two worlds on the map had many related areas, and there were also many unexplored places covered in black. It is worth mentioning that the place called "Stairway to the Sun" is located in the dark area of ​​the wasteland world. Although the surrounding environment has been explored, the dark area in the middle is like a forbidden area and cannot be touched.

"According to the information that has been identified, the fairy tale world was destroyed by an unknown disaster, and the factors that formed the wasteland world cannot be investigated." The person in charge of the control center stared at the two world compositions, his voice revealing confusion, "This It is not an accidental phenomenon, because our paradise world is also born from the unknown and destroyed by the unknown, and even the six worlds that are now known are all like this. They are obviously related to each other, but they are not so close."

Hearing this, Yi Yan nodded silently, as if there was an invisible sharp blade, cutting the two timelines into six less closed worlds.

"All the top executives of the foundation want to know the cause of the destruction of the paradise world, and even more want to know how to continue it. They are frantically exploring the secrets hidden in the deepest parts of the world, but they have gained very little. Because there are many restricted areas of life that block their Even if you know that there may be answers hidden in the figure, you can't see it with your own eyes." The expression of the person in charge of the control center changed from confused to excited, "However, a turning point occurred. There was a gap in the restricted area of ​​​​life where the Sun Staircase is located. Even if it’s extremely small, it’s still worth a surprise!”

"Although the reason for its formation has not yet been identified, according to my estimation, it should be the collision point between the Paradise World and the Wasteland World, which happens to appear near the Staircase of the Sun. Therefore, not only can we break into the restricted area of ​​life through space cracks, but the people in the Wasteland World You can also take this opportunity to sneak into it. The only problem is that the restrictions in the restricted area are only slightly loosened, and both sides can only send low-end combat forces. Fortunately, even if there are intelligent life inside the restricted area, the life level will not be too high. Suitable for where you are now.”

The eyes of the person in charge of the control center finally fell on Ember: "The heads of all parties in the Paradise World are stepping up contact with the Wasteland World, hoping to promote this cooperative action. No matter what the outcome is, we still need to prepare what should be prepared. Yes, in fact, if possible, I even hope to fully equip you with the best items, but unfortunately the space cracks have a limit, and group travel is more stringent, so the supervisor asked me to prepare the most suitable items for you. Rewards for you to choose from.”

[Tip: This assessment is officially over, and you finally received a "perfect" evaluation. 】

[Tip: According to the credit point acquisition rules, you have obtained a total of 6,400 foundation credit points. Credit points can be consumed in the game, but during the test period, the Singularity platform did not support the credit point trading function. 】

[Tip: Since you received the highest rating in this assessment and received strong attention from the foundation's senior management, you can receive excess rewards. You can choose two of the following options as assessment rewards. 】

…

"1. [Basic level evolution reagent] (normal version): Obtain an additional core attribute point and important attribute point respectively. The effect lasts until the basic level of life transformation is completed."

"2. [Basic Level Violent Potion] (Improved Version): The upper limit of life is increased by fifty points, each important attribute is increased by three levels, and the "crushing" effect is obtained when attacking. It will cause double damage to targets whose power level is lower than yours. Doubles the damage, the effect lasts for ten seconds, and has no negative effects."

"3. [Active Software Biochemical Suit] (armor), an abnormal equipment personally built by the top manager of the No. 19 Concealed Facility based on the abnormal project [Active Software]."

…

"Can I choose them all?"

Although it was a bit shameless, Yi Yan still asked.

"cannot."

The simple response from the person in charge of the control center shattered Yi Yan's greedy thoughts. His eyes wandered back and forth among the three options, and he chose [Active Software Biochemical Suit] first, because he was missing a piece of armor, and secondly, he chose [Active Software Biochemical Suit]. It happens to be matched with [Active Software's Greedy Appetite], which can enhance the slowing effect. As for the remaining choice, Yi Yan couldn't help but get entangled.

Both props have their own advantages. The violent potion can double his combat power. The duration of ten seconds is enough for him to win a life-and-death battle.

But Ember finally chose the evolution reagent. The reason was actually very simple. The equipment requirements for the active software biochemical suit were four points of strength and two points of agility. Ember, who had reached level six with the assessment reward, only had six important attributes in total. In this case, the passive skill [Elementary Resurrection] he obtained will lose its effectiveness because the perception level does not reach one point, and the field of vision will also be reduced.

Furthermore, in the long run, the evolution reagent is equivalent to giving Ember an extra level. At least during the closed beta period, it gives him a stable attribute advantage. Moreover, the effects of attributes are becoming more and more obvious, and the evolution reagent will gradually bring If the weak advantages are accumulated, it may not be able to form a powerful effect comparable to the violent potion.

"Is this your decision? A wise choice."

The person in charge of the control center adjusted the frame of the mirror, with a look of approval on his expression: "Before taking action, I suggest you take a good rest and recharge your batteries. In addition, give me the equipment materials you want to strengthen or inlay, so that you don't have to waste them. Although it won’t be free this time, I can open the foundation’s exclusive store to you and give you purchase suggestions that will not exceed the upper limit of the space crack.”

This volume ends. I would like to thank all fellow Taoists for their support, and I hope this book will have a good outcome.
