The Legendary Mechanic (Transcendental Mechanic)

"Hello, players, this is Xinghai Times, dedicated to sharing first-hand game information and escorting your gaming career."

The two hosts, a man and a woman, recited the familiar opening remarks. As soon as the program was released, thousands of old viewers poured in. According to the usual practice, there was a wave of reminders.

"It's a base, I can't see it!"

"Sure enough, we will talk about version updates, looking forward to it."

"Stunning, my big time."

"Swipe up the barrage to cover up the cold jokes!"

The barrage of demons danced wildly, densely packed, and the awkward and cold jokes at the beginning of the show quickly passed, and we entered the main topic.

Male host: "...A few days after the game, the 1.0 version update will come, and Xinghai will soon enter the next version of the plot. Regarding this, we have obtained first-hand information and some unconfirmed gossip. The first phase screens the information for the majority of players, and guesses and analyzes the next version.”

"Then, before starting the analysis, let's do a comprehensive review of the plots of each planet in the current version. A large part of our information comes from the event chronicles compiled by players for different planets. Here, we thank all enthusiastic players. , This information provides great convenience to our work.”

The players were named and praised, and they felt very happy.

Then, the two hosts summarized the plots of each novice planet. At this time, the main plot of each planet has ended, and you can go through it from beginning to end. The Times also introduced and commented on the important characters in the plots. The explanation is naturally not dry, but accompanied by screenshots and video materials.

Every time a planet’s deeds are mentioned, the players of that planet are the most active on the barrage. The 1.0 main plots of these planets are also varied, such as the event of Lord Thingolethas on Frostwinter, the arcane tide on Paleton, The dynasty split of Changge Star, Xia Rixing’s Shadow Group incident, Su En’s Chaos Outland Expedition, etc. These are the core main lines, and there are secondary main lines besides this, just like Seablue Star’s main line is the Six Kingdoms and Germination, The secondary mainline is the same as Bennett's shelter project.

The backgrounds of the planets are different, and the feeling of the main plot is also very different. There are modern styles, sci-fi styles, magical styles, mysterious styles, and indescribable styles. There are all kinds of styles. The locations of these planets are far and wide. Knowing the position of his planet in the universe, Han Xiao understands that the distribution of novice planets in each star field is fairly even, and there is only Seablue Star, a novice planet, in the Shattered Star Ring.

Among all the main plots, Seablue Star ended the earliest and received the most attention. There must be a protagonist in the plot, which is closely related to the event. The two hosts read the speech, and finally it was Seablue Star's turn.

"When it comes to the main plot of Aquamarine, we must mention a character that is absolutely unavoidable. After the plot of Aquamarine is over, he is still active in the public eye. He is the first character to lead players into the interstellar world. I believe that the majority of players love him. Your name will not be unfamiliar..."

The barrage ran wild in an instant. Maybe they don't know the plot of other planets, but Han Xiao's name is almost known to everyone, and these audiences immediately have a common topic.

"The black star has come out!!"

"Excuse me, is this the video of Han, Black Ghost, Germination Destroyer, Lord of Sanctuary, Interstellar Explorer, Prophet, Black Star Mercenary Leader, Materialist, Box Opener, Poor, Xiao?"

"Black Star: You bastards are talking about me behind my back again."

"The Thirty-Second Real Men's Team applied for the battle! Our slogan is—Kung Fu in the world, only fast!"

"Ah, I want the dragon seat! I want Aroshia! I want to lick them to death!"

"Screen licking monster go away!"

Now it's the turn of Seablue Star players to be active, and the intensity of bullet screens has been completely raised to a higher level. Huaxia players have always been full of this promising skill of swiping the screen.

The man hosts the reader's manuscript, briefly introducing Han Xiao's life story for the players:

"Han Xiao, formerly known as Xiao Han, a member of the Overmela family, was captured by Germination and made into a test body due to an accident. He was captured and made into a test body, but the brainwashing failed. He pretended for a long time, and finally found a flaw and escaped from Germination's control. The journey against Germinal. He once took refuge in Xinglong, and then left to become a free killer on the dark net, code-named [Black Specter]. Germinal had hunted him down for many years, but only saw his shadow. He awakened a certain predictive ability, able to Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, sensing dangers in advance. After a period of dormancy, he started a comprehensive revenge, single-handedly directed the expedition of the Six Nations against Germination, and sneaked into the headquarters of Germination during this battle, stole all confidential information, and served the Six Nations Established the victory and became a heroic figure of Seablue Star, but his journey did not end here. One day, he predicted that Seablue Star was about to suffer a disaster, so he used some means to summon space battleships, and led the elite Carefully selected fighters enter the interstellar space to seek solutions...

Most of the above information comes from chronicle data and is provided by players. "

Players collected a lot of information during the exploration period. Han Xiao’s deeds are already public information. In the event history of Seablue Star, Han Xiao is like the rope operator behind the scenes. Many events are inextricably linked to him. Han Xiao’s name has been mentioned countless times in the chronicle data, which also allows new players to learn about the plot events that have happened through the data, and keeps increasing Han Xiao’s reputation.

The chronicle documents of version 1.0 are already vast, but Han Xiao is still a shining star, a hero among 1.0 NPCs.

After talking about Seablue Star's deeds and summarizing the plot of version 1.0, the two hosts entered the next segment, which is also the theme of this episode, analyzing the new version.

"According to the information we have, we have made a few guesses. First, in the new version, players must connect with the stars, leave their original planets, and start traveling the universe."

"Second, in addition to the thirteen novice planets today, the new version will also add new birth planets, and based on the above point, the new birth planets should be able to directly enter the interstellar planets, and here we boldly guess the relationship between the new planets and The old planet is different, the old planet has to go through a new story to enter the interstellar, but the new planet can directly enter the interstellar, and the price is that the new planet must use a new account to start from scratch, while the players of the old planet inherit the previous high Level accounts, so regardless of whether they are new or old, they have their own advantages."

"Third, although the plots of the new versions of different planets are unknown, the characters must lead to the plots, and there must be clues hidden in the characters. We suggest using the characters as the starting point to guess who the next version of the plot will be. What role will the protagonists of version 1.0 play in the new version? Most planets have limited clues, but there is only one exception—Seablue Star!"

"Before Black Star left, he left behind a frozen mission - [The Last Position]! The mission description is as follows: 'One day in the future, catastrophe will sweep across Seablue Star, and the third refuge will be the last safe position, protect Only the faint fire in the darkness can hope to overcome the difficulties', the mission requirement is to protect the third shelter, the destruction rate must not exceed 50%, and we have reason to believe that this mission is exactly what Seablue Star version 2.0 event, an unknown catastrophe, the entire planet will be affected, and Black Star will inevitably play a role in the disaster..."

Han Xiao left the frozen mission in the first place to leave players with a direction to imagine, so as to improve his reputation. Before the version changes, there will be a wave of speculation about the new version. The report of the Times is in his expectation.

...

Seablue Star, the third refuge.

Towering steel walls, guarded by turrets, the shelter is now fully formed, like a giant fortress on the wasteland. Han Xiao has been away for more than a year. The current manager of the shelter is Huang Yu. He built the shelter according to the established strategy The place is in an orderly manner, and now it has accommodated more than three million refugees. In addition to these asylums, there are hundreds of thousands of floating population, who are aliens.

Countless players regard the third refuge as the main city, not only because there are enough daily tasks and rewards here, but also because Han Xiao made a series of decisions during his tenure to cultivate the habits of the players. After the habit is formed, the players like to gather here. Interact with stalls, trades, team formation, etc.

Residents have conflicting senses towards Yiren. On the one hand, Yiren likes to help them with work, but for the existence of Yiren, most people are jealous and regard them as aliens. They always feel that there is a gap. In the eyes of some residents, it is as dangerous as a settlement of special races, and they dare not go there at all.

Yiren helped Bennett build many refuges, but after they were completed, most of them would return to the third refuge. Huang Yu didn't understand the behavior of Yiren's crowd gathering, so he could only attribute the reason to his former boss , he felt that only the black ghost knew the reason.

However, in the past few days, a large number of aliens came from all over the place without warning and poured into the shelter. This phenomenon has attracted Huang Yu's great attention.

"Has the reason been found out?"

In the conference room of the refuge, Huang Yu asked his subordinates. After he took charge of the refuge, he formed a team of his own. All the people present were members of the dark net and directly belonged to Bennett.

"No, the intelligence networks from all over the country still haven't found the reason for the large-scale migration of aliens. Now the number of aliens in the third refuge has exceeded 800,000, and it is still growing."

"This is not a good sign. Although most of the aliens are safe and sound, there are also saboteurs. We have encountered several attacks this year. Once these aliens have other purposes, 800,000 superpowers can cause The damage is devastating, if it is not handled well, the third shelter that has been established for two years may be destroyed overnight."

Huang Yu was worried.

It is naturally impossible for him to know that the large-scale gathering of players in the third refuge is precisely because the Times has speculated about the mission left by Han Xiao. The third refuge is likely to be a key location of the main storyline, and there is a high probability that it is a safe place .

So before the update, most players decided to come to the refuge, so that not only can they switch to the mainline as soon as the new version comes, but it is also safer than other places.

"This kind of hidden danger has to be prevented, and we must take measures..." Huang Yu said.

"But... the instruction left by His Excellency Black Phantom is not to adopt any hostile strategies against aliens, and not to try to control their freedom—except for those who make troubles. We violated his message by doing so."

Huang Yu shook his head, "I know, but I can't be unprepared against other people because of this. The Black Phantom has been gone for more than a year. If he was there, I wouldn't worry about anything at all. However, he is not here, so we need to adapt."

"Then what do you decide to do?"

Huang Yu said in a deep voice: "Split, prohibit some aliens from entering the main city of the refuge, and drive them to the two nearby acropolis, either Overmela or Heisong. In this way, even if turmoil breaks out, there will be no It's going to happen in the hinterland."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Just do this, notify the managers of the two acropolises, first secretly mobilize the army to prevent accidents, and three days later, we will officially start the diversion of different people." Huang Yu's tone was firm, confirming the decision.

Suddenly, a burst of sleepiness hit him, and he yawned involuntarily.

...

Dusky star.

A hidden mothership base.

In the dark conference room, the screen of the video conference was lit with a faint cold light.

These people are Dusky Star's high-level people. Every screen is a group of blurred figures without showing their faces. They are extremely mysterious. Even Gedora, who has been hostile to Dusky Star for many years, only knows a very small number of high-level people. Dusky Star is like It is an unreal fog that has been hidden in the darkness.

The screen in the middle is the leader of Dusky Star, which is blurred, and the sound has also been mechanically synthesized.

"What stage has the alienated body we put in grown?"

"According to the time calculation, the larval stage has passed, and all the alienation source bodies will enter the larval stage within two months. The impact has already been latent. It is estimated that in about a year, the alienation source body will enter the outbreak period, but the time cannot be accurately determined. After all We have no control over the Primarch's thoughts."

Dusky Star leader: "Keep observing. Gedora has intercepted an alienated source body. I don't know how far the research has gone. The plan needs to be improved. We can't wait for the alienated source body to grow naturally. After the symptoms break out, we need to take some actions. Details Let's talk again, Anur, how is Ashes?" The last sentence asked Anur, one of Dusky Star's A-level power users, and the teacher of Ashes.

The screen representing Anur made a sound, "I asked him to concentrate on exercising his abilities, and the progress is very good. His strength has increased significantly. Give him some time, and the chance of entering the natural disaster level is more than 20%."

"Well, Rogo died in battle, and Vermila was imprisoned in Hongguang Prison. We urgently need to replenish high-level combat power. Ashes is currently the most promising candidate to reach A-level. His abilities are very strong. Tell him, I have high hopes for him ...then let's call it a day."

The screens went black one by one, and the dark room returned to dead silence.
