From star abyss

Li Aozi closed the note, and the haze in his heart subsided a lot.

The bonfire dyed his face orange, and beautiful sparks were flying like butterflies. Not far away, there were heartless players joining in the fun, posting screenshots of Du Zexin's mecha on the forum.

"Wow, Gundam! What a man's romance!"

"This look is clearly Armored Core, you fake fan!"

"Du Zexin, are you [Mechanic]'s mentor?"

Facing these chattering players, Du Zexin, whose consciousness is stored in [Future Watch], is a little at a loss.

"Are these little guys yours?" Du Zexin pointed at the average level 10 players: "Although the strength is just okay, what are they talking about - Hey! Don't spray paint graffiti on my armor! And you ——Why do you have to take off your clothes when drinking!"

The wrinkles on Li Ozi's face gradually faded away, and he gradually regained his youthful beauty. He rubbed his stiff facial muscles and waved his hands:

"These little guys have their own unique abilities, don't treat them like ordinary people."

"Special ability?" Du Zexin picked up an unlucky guy with his fingers and put it in front of the monitor. His eyes lit up and he scanned it for a while. "Everything seems to be normal, but... you are right, I just can It feels like they are not the same kind as our Azure Star people.”

"Um...let me down!"

Caramel Snail was about to cry. He had just driven all the way from Nuliang City, and was picked up by a 20-meter-tall iron man. His feet were dangling in the air. He was so scared that he closed his eyes and trembled.

"You can call them 'Adventors', they have great potential. I plan to take them into space." Li Ozi said with a smile.

Go to space!

The players got excited when they heard the word.

For so many days, the players of the Murloc Guild have been grinding monsters and leveling up, rushing to complete tasks, and competing with each other in the arena of Triangle Town. It can be said that they are working hard.

During this period, due to the diligent work of the players, the Oakland lords made a lot of money, and they also destroyed several bandit nests around them, which made them laugh out of their dreams.

It's just a pity: because the fishmen guild announced the information from the beginning, most professional players and big guilds also gathered later. In the final trial to the universe, there were 31 people in the whole guild, and no one Shortlisted.

Among the 25 players finally selected, there are four professional players:

Qiongyu’s veteran player ‘Yu Tianxiao’ looks like an ordinary-looking [Mechanic] who dresses like a social animal. He always looks friendly and does not look threatening at all.

Li Ozi glanced at the panel of this guy: Good guy, the closed beta is only halfway through, and his main career level is already level 12, and there is also a lv.3 [hacker], which directly fills up the total level.

This is the [Mechanic] that is relatively difficult to upgrade in the early stage.

No wonder Yu Tianxiao was said to be cheating when playing PVE in his previous life. He does have two skills.

The player ID sent by Lao Ganye is [LGY] Garridon, and he has also reached the level of lv.10 [Warrior], but he has no sub-profession. What is surprising is that this young man actually has a whole life profession - [Chef] 】.

[Chef]...Li Ozi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

According to his experience, what [the chef] produced in the early stage was very disappointing.

Delicious, non-poisonous, buffing effects - early cooks can only have two at the same time.

Unfortunately, Li Ozi glanced at Garryton's professional knowledge. It was so good that he didn't even learn [Basic Nutrition]. I hope these players will wish themselves well.

There are also two professional players. One is [XXG] Cumin Fen, the captain of the Xiangxiang Chicken Women’s Team. The game character looks like a green-pink gradient short hair [Ranger] who looks very cyberpunk. He also has price implants in his arms. Expensive recoil reducing prosthetic body.

It has to be said that professional players do have two skills. Li Ozi took a look at the various equipment on the opponent and estimated that it was almost the same as the initial starting capital that he burned the bank.

Originally, as a female player, Cumin Fen should be very eye-catching among this group of older men. However, most people cannot appreciate her punk style, so they can only stay away from her.

The last contestant surprised Li Ozi—[IP] Night Sword from Endless Pioneers.

Apart from anything else, his nickname, which is not only serious, but also has an antique flavor, looks extremely out of place among a group of chaotic players.

He clearly looks like a handsome young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, wearing a samurai uniform and tied up hair. However, he is surrounded by a group of prosthetics, a muscular man wearing a cute pig mask, and a wasteland style coat. Among the sharp brothers, he became the most abnormal one.

Li Ozi had a deep impression on this poor kid, but it wasn't because of his skills... How should I put it, Ye Zhanjian was a very special professional player.

Runner-up five times in five years, the first runner for the championship, always the last to qualify in the heads-up competition, and then giving away nothing in the second round.

In the first year of my debut, I reached the runner-up position, met the son of the version, and recognized him.

The next year, I changed clubs to serve, and was stepped on by the newcomers from my old club. I ended up in runner-up with tears. I endured it.

In the third year, he was recruited back by his old club because of his commanding ability. In the key game of the finals, he was taken away by Tianxiu, the one-on-one king of the year, Canxue, who used a set of combos. His skills were not as good as others, so he let him go.

In the fourth year, he made a comeback. In the finals, he encountered a style of play that was aimed at him. He was bombarded by the mage, and his teammates got sick. As a result, he betrayed his weaknesses and was defeated by his teammates.

In the fifth year, after summing up the lessons learned, he took the Tianwangshan lineup and specially purchased a divine weapon to advance to the finals. However, as soon as the game started, his weapon was stolen by the [Looters] from the opposite side. Being able to watch the opponent use his own weapons to chop up melons and vegetables on his side...

There is no problem with his operation, but his record always makes people think that he is taking advantage of the situation. Some people once suspected that he was cheating because he played well in individual games, but people still think that such a record is too outrageous.

Later, people often used "Are you sleeping with me?" ’, blaming teammates is like acting on yourself.

The two anchors, Li Ozi, were not very familiar with each other and neither of them were colleagues he knew.

The rest are the main force of the Grand Guild.

Since the upper limit of the version is stuck with the player level, in fact, most professional players have little interest in going to the universe. They still have a lot of mission resources to improve their favorability. This is the way to improve their skills and combat effectiveness as quickly as possible.

But the big guilds are different. Their goal is to monetize game assets as soon as possible and go to the universe, that is, to new maps. This is undoubtedly the most profitable wasteland development behavior. Therefore, several big guilds work together to stuff their own elite talents. Now that I'm here, I hope to go to the universe and make a lot of money.

Although Du Zexin didn't understand the value and potential of the players, he still agreed when he saw that these players were willing to spend money to learn some simple knowledge from him, or buy some junk equipment that he considered to be scrap metal.

Li Ozi sat aside, waiting for Du Zexin to upgrade the biochemical pool for him, and continued to inject arcane awakening agent to accumulate some gene fragments.

25 players gathered together, and rented a wave of arcane energy from Li Aozi, and received tens of thousands of experience points. Although Li Aozi looked down on this small change, raising pigs was a profit that would bear fruit later on, so he was not in a hurry.

Sooner or later, players will become addicted to drawing and renting arcana.

Du Zexin didn't really kill the [White Knight]. The threat of the secret society still existed, but after fighting once, he already had some ideas and countermeasures.

"Without the blood of ether, Uhelai is no match for me... I need a body, a body that can resist the poison of ether."

At that time, he almost killed Uhelai, but the body in the colonial costume could not pass the judgment of etheric blood at all.

Li Ozi fell into thinking.

It is too late now to find a body that can adapt to the C3 Luca type universe human race with ether toxicity. If nothing else, it is too late to replace the prosthetic lung lobes on site. Prosthetic implantation requires an appointment 72 hours in advance. After surgery No strenuous exercise is allowed within 48 hours.

However, just because he couldn't find the body of the C3 Luca-type space human, it didn't mean that there was no substitute.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number:

"Ms. N4, we have agreed to cooperate before, can we add another one?"

"Yes, I need a biochemical clone."

"It's expensive? That's not a problem. I can mortgage my arcane energy to you. I believe that the ability to control gravity is almost irresistible to scientific researchers..."

"Haha, look what you said, how could I lie to you? Ao Neng is very important to me, but I am doing this for your sake."

Li Ozi smiled and put down the terminal.

"Who did you find?" Du Zexin asked while upgrading the biochemical pool for him and turning the monitor.

"What Mingji Heavy Industry says matters to everyone."

"What are you doing with them? You don't want to buy fertilizer."

"You'll find out later."

Li Ozi touched his chin and narrowed his eyes.

He suddenly discovered that he was really talented at drawing big pie. It was okay for the players to be fooled. Mobi also believed it, and now N4 also fell into the circle.

really not bad.

Seeing that he was full of confidence, Du Zexin said:

"You'd better cherish this night. This may be your last night on the blue star. I may never see you again."

"What? You can't bear to leave?" Li Ao bumped into his armor and laughed and cursed: "Idiot, I'm going to space, not to heaven. Why is this the last night?"

"No matter how many times I see this plan, I feel crazy. Even if you are the one who proposed the plan, I still can't accept it immediately."

Du Zexin ignored his joke, turned his waist and screwed the bearings, slowly lowered his head, and looked almost at eye level with Li Ozi:

"I once fantasized about escaping from the ground, but you did it for me. You dare to think and do it more than I do. I really don't know what else I can say... Maybe I should change my obsession."

"I don't know, Du Zexin, your path forward should only be chosen by yourself, and I cannot and will not interfere for you."

Li Ozi spread his hands:

"You can't decide your origin and current situation, so you have to work hard to change the future. It's like a marathon. You have to keep running."

"But what if I go at full speed and can't catch up to where others started?"

"It's not you who's wrong, it's this fucking game."

Li Ozi habitually wanted to smoke a cigarette. After posing, he realized that he had quit for Alexia. He shook his head and said:

"Du Zexin, ancient people would not have thought that there would be no sun in the future world, nor would they have thought that people in the future would use nuclear bombs to fly into the sky... The times and environment will limit your development. If you cannot win on this track, , then go diving and swimming.”

"Maybe you are right." Du Zexin said, "Li Ozi, thank you for communicating with me. It's been a long time since I've had an open chat with someone... You are my first friend."

"I'm honored." Li Ozi said.

"I want to give you this."

The cockpit of the mobile armor opened, and a chip immediately popped up on the computer:

"I copied and uploaded my consciousness into this lotus chip. If one day, I am no longer me, you will——"

"Don't say that, it's too unlucky."

"I am a materialist." Du Zexin said, "Li Aozi, believe me, promise me this first."

"...Okay, I believe you, Ozawa."

"My soul and personality are stored here. If this mobile armor cannot withstand the pressure, take this lotus chip and bring it back to Gemini City, the Hive Apartment on Yingfei Plaza West Road, Room 210 , room password 1204."

"Is that your birthday? December 4th?"

"You don't need to care...Li Ozi, bring this chip to the server. You will receive a big gift."

Du Zexin said:

"I also gave this chip to Miss Yawen. Don't worry, I have a backup. Don't worry, I'm scared to death. Li Ozi, don't worry, I'm scared to death."

He said "Don't worry" three times in a row, but Li Aozi still felt like he was explaining the funeral arrangements.

"...Stop talking, Mobi, you'll be fine. You still have to change this shit like frost."

"Yes, my country, even though it is rotten to the core, I still want to change it. The future of 600 million people should not turn into a farce because of the stupid decision of the bitch Medway."

Du Zexin paused for a moment and asked:

"Lee Oz."

"you say."

"I suddenly realized that I no longer wanted to go to the universe."

"How to say?"

"Because I feel like I'm not afraid of the future anymore."

Du Zexin raised his hand and pressed it on the breastplate:

"I have the courage to face it...the courage called responsibility. I feel that with it, I suddenly have great strength."

"Come on, you just said you were a materialist." Li Ozi joked: "Now you believe in subjective initiative again?"

"This is not a contradiction, Li Aozi. No flowers will grow on a frost-plated circuit board, but there will always be people who sing the praises of the future to the false sun. Someone must face this ugly world, which is worse than the worst. world, and then..."

"Then?"

"I will destroy her with guns and rebuild her brick by brick on her ruins."

Du Zexin's electronic sound is not impressive, but he speaks the most romantic words:

"Finally, love her to the fullest. I think I won't be afraid of a blue star like that, nor will I be like him, let alone escape, and I won't want to go to the universe."

"Frost Plating, Sky Ring, Zhengxu, Red Arrow... Everything on the Blue Star is shrouded in the shadow of the evil spirit, but even if there is no evil spirit, there will still be war, plague, hunger and death in the world... I saw it, I saw that everything……"

"Did you see that? What are you talking about? What did you see?"

Li Ozi was wary and immediately asked:

"Du Zexin, who let you see those?"

"It's not important - I think, Li Ozi, I mean, I probably understand that what the Blue Star needs most now is not old-era technology, but hope. As long as there is a little hope, the world can still be saved. "

Li Ozi's figure was reflected in the electronic eyes:

"Lee Ozi, please bring hope back to us."
