Chapter 336 A Weird Civilization
This mission to the Malacca Channel is the Qianlong Special Forces' first overseas mission, and it is related to the control of the world's first channel in the future, so not only the Southern Theater Command is paying attention, but the entire Daxia high-level officials are paying attention.
From the time the special operations team set off, Lu Heng would receive the latest mission reports every day.
On the first day, the deep-sea team of the special operations team entered the Andaman Sea and began to search for the location of seafloor fissures. They encountered a group of abyssal woodlice and cleaned them up before continuing to explore.
The next day, the deep-sea team continued to explore the Andaman Sea. Nothing happened during the day and began to gradually narrow the area of exploration.
On the third day, the deep-sea team was attacked by a high-level abyssal monster on the bottom of the sea. Cao Lixiong protected the team and retreated to the sea surface, and joined forces with the sea surface support team members to kill the 30-meter-long multi-headed snake.
The fourth day...
While the special forces team was performing missions, Lu Heng was practicing the Wind Dragon's Breath Slash in Binhai.
The proficiency level of Wind Dragon Breath Slash LV1 has been reached (932/1000), and it is not far away from being fully trained.
On the fifth day of the special operations team's mission, Fire Emblem accumulated a batch of tempering orders.
Lu Heng came to the Quenching Fort to perform quenching, and completed the quenching orders above +6, three of which were for spiritual infusion.
After completing this, the Master Tempering Master's professional experience has increased by 510 points.
Since the level of the quencher was upgraded to the master level, it was difficult to gain professional experience for quenching operations below +6, so this part of the quenching business order was handed over to Yuan Hecheng.
Unlike Lu Heng, Yuan Hecheng put all his energy into tempering, unlike Lu Heng who had to take into account both combat power and strength, so his tempering career level improved quickly.
More than half a year passed, and he had already reached the advanced quenching division.
Sometimes, Lu Heng does not have time to complete the quenching order, and if the customer wants it urgently, he will also do quenching above +6 for him.
Now Yuan Hecheng is already the most skilled tempering master in the Tempering Fort, except Gulu and Lu Heng.
After Lu Heng completed the quenching business orders he had accumulated during this period, he looked back and saw that Yuan Hecheng was still busy.
As the quenching market gets bigger and bigger, the number of low-grade quenching orders is very large, so Yuan Hecheng has work almost every day.
The main purpose of Lu Heng's quenching was to increase the quenching level to gain flame resistance.
Therefore, quenching work that cannot gain professional experience is basically not done.
Yuan Hecheng is different. He is tempering not only for professional experience, but also for the more important purpose of making money.
In the past six months, as his quenching skills have become better and better, he has made a lot of money, and has already paid back the [fluid metal] crystal core that his daughter Yuan Yaoyao absorbed.
Lin Zeyu took back this [fluid metal] crystal core at a high price and planned to use it himself.
However, this crystal core can only be used by Lin Zeyu, but its adaptability is not particularly high.
Yuan Yaoyao's initial talent is [Mechanical Heart], and the compatibility with the [Fluid Metal] skill is perfect.
Therefore, when Yuan Hecheng came to ask for help, Lu Heng gave the [Fluid Metal] crystal core to Yuan Yaoyao when their father and daughter could not afford the money.
The purchase price of this crystal core at the time was 40 million.
Yuan Hecheng has worked hard in the past six months to pay back the money, and he finally paid it back last month.
Paying off this money is not the end, but a new beginning.
Because Yuan Hecheng discovered that his daughter would be recruited by the Abyss Battlefield every once in a while. Although he came back healthy and safe every time, he was always worried.
So he wants to make more money and buy resources to help his daughter improve her combat power.
For this reason, he would accept any hardening job as long as it could make money.
Seeing that Yuan Hecheng was still busy, Lu Heng did not disturb him, waved to him and left the forging room.
When he returned to the front hall of Quenching Fort, he met Yuan Yaoyao head-on.
Yuan Yaoyao was wearing a dress. When she saw Lu Heng, she had a childish and clever smile on her face. She ran over and took Lu Heng's hand to the balcony on the second floor.
"What's wrong?" Lu Heng asked doubtfully.
Yuan Yaoyao ran to the south balcony of the living room on the second floor, closed the door with her backhand, pushed Lu Heng into a chair, then sat aside and said with a serious face: "Brother Lu, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Lu Heng looked her up and down, but couldn't see anything wrong. It was no different from before.
Yuan Yaoyao sat upright, took a deep breath and said, "I was recruited yesterday."
"Are you going to the Sykes Civilization again?" Lu Heng asked her before. So far, all her recruitments have been to the Sykes Civilization.
It may be that her mechanical heart is particularly matched with the world of Sykes, coupled with the spatial anchor point and the Black Feather Spirit Mechanical Angel, the combination of multiple reasons makes her often recruited to the world of Sykes.
Yuan Yaoyao shook her head and said: "Not this time, this recruitment is very strange."
Generally speaking, the recruitment of the abyss battlefield will evaluate the combat power of the draftee, and the combat power rating of the same superpower in different worlds is different.
Yuan Yaoyao's combat power rating in the future technological world will be very high, but in other worlds, it will be relatively low.
Therefore, Lu Heng guessed casually: "Another cyber world?"
Yuan Yaoyao shook her head again: "Actually, I'm not sure, because I was recruited this time and didn't even leave the initial space."
Lu Heng became curious and asked, "What's going on? Tell me in detail."
Yuan Yaoyao began to talk about her recruitment process:
"I was recruited this time. After the transmission was completed, I appeared in a strange space surrounded by many glowing lines, like a cyberneural network.
"I'm floating in mid-air, I can't feel gravity, so I won't fall.
"When I summoned the Black Feather Spirit and wanted to move.
"The neural network in the surrounding space lit up and started talking to me.
“He told me that he knew my identity and my mission, but he asked me to stay where I was until the mission was over.
"He also promised that as long as I stay where I am until the mission is over, he will give me generous compensation.
"He also showed me the compensation list, which contains [Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core]. This crystal core can increase the skill slot.
"I'm actually very curious about what the outside world is like.
"However, after analyzing the crystal core of my optical brain system, I believe that the level of civilization in the world is beyond the scope of cognition, and it is recommended that I follow the other party's request.
"The analysis of the optical brain system has never been missed, so I followed the requirements and stayed at home for fifteen days listening to music and watching TV.
"After the time is over, I really got a [Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core], look."
After she finished speaking, she took out a super crystal core and held it up in front of Lu Heng.
Lu Heng's eyes widened when he saw the super crystal core. It has been a year and a half since the arrival of the Abyss. I have heard of [Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core] a few times, but I have only seen it twice.
The first time was the one from the Gong family, and the second time was the one in front of me.
After being recruited, if you lie down and watch TV for fifteen days, you can get a [Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core]. Is there such a good thing?
If this matter were told, no one would believe it, but Lu Heng believed it.
Because Lu Heng remembered an incident before his rebirth.
This civilization that requires the recruits to stay put and is willing to compensate them is probably the world in their memories... related to the source of reincarnation.
The behavior of this civilization is very strange. The recruiters are sent there with a mission, but this civilization requires the recruiters not to participate in the mission, and is willing to give more generous compensation than completing the mission.
This situation seems very illogical on the surface, but it does happen.
In Lu Heng's memory, the process described by other people with powers after their return was similar to Yuan Yaoyao's situation.
Of course, there are also people with superpowers who disobey the requirements of this weird civilization and want to force their way out. As a result, they lose consciousness instantly and when they wake up, they have returned to Blue Star.
Yes.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The process is very weird. This civilization will prevent the recruiter's actions, but will not kill the recruiter.
Once the recruiter resists, they will use some method to make the recruiter unconscious until the recruitment time is over.
In the last life, many people with superpowers discussed this weird civilization and speculated on why they did this.
Lu Heng also thought about this problem, but no matter how he analyzed it, he felt that this civilization's behavior did not comply with normal logic.
In addition, there were very few people recruited to this weird civilization. In my memory, they were only recruited two or three times in the previous life. No one could break out of the initial space, and no one knew the reason why this civilization did this.
Lu Heng put himself in the shoes of this weird civilization and felt that they might not want the recruiters to destroy the balance of their world.
Only this explanation is more reasonable.
Whatever the reason, one thing is certain, the level of this weird civilization is far above humans, even far above the Sykes civilization.
"Brother Lu, are you listening?" Yuan Yaoyao waved her hand in front of Lu Heng.
"Yes, I heard it." Lu Heng was lost in memories just now, so he was distracted.
"Don't you believe what I said?" Yuan Yaoyao also felt that what she said was too incredible, and adults might not believe it.
Lu Heng nodded and said: "I believe this world must be very strange."
Yuan Yaoyao's eyes lit up, she held up the super crystal core in her hand and said happily: "Really? Then I'll give this crystal core to you."
Lu Heng was stunned and reminded: "This crystal core is a priceless treasure. If others find out about it, they might send mercenaries to rob it."
Yuan Yaoyao nodded and affirmed: "I know, but I want to give it to you."
Lu Heng thought about it seriously, bent her fingers back to hold the crystal core, and said: "Use it yourself. To survive in the abyss era, each recruitment must be improved, otherwise the subsequent recruitments will become more and more difficult." Dangerous.”
A [Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core] can increase combat power a lot. Lu Heng actually wanted it, but it was a bit cold-blooded to take such an important treasure from a little girl.
Moreover, Lu Heng has three more skill slots than Yuan Yaoyao. This crystal core will be a greater improvement for Yuan Yaoyao and may even determine her future destiny.
If she really took this crystal core and failed to come back from the abyss battlefield in the future, she would definitely not be able to overcome this hurdle in her heart.
Yuan Yaoyao thought for a moment and took out another thing: "Then this is for you."
The thing I took out this time was a cubic transparent crystal. After checking its properties, I found that it turned out to be [Abyss Law Assimilation Crystal Nucleus].
As the name suggests, this kind of crystal core can assimilate weapons and equipment with laws, and the effect is the same as using divine energy to assimilate.
To put it simply, this crystal core can replace divine energy and assimilate the laws of an item.
However, this crystal core does not give the opportunity to cause bugs. The data limits the quality of items that can be assimilated. The upper limit of item quality is 100kg.
In other words, it is impossible to assimilate a tank or a battleship into the abyss world.
Lu Heng does have one item that needs to be assimilated, and that is the S-level treasure [Space Confinement Orb] obtained from the elven world.
This [Space Confinement Orb] was used by the Great Arcanist Augustus in exchange for the [Magic Book of Secrets].
At that time, Lu Heng's entire team and Fiona were all imprisoned in the magic tower by this [Space Confinement Orb]. It was only after Tyrese arrived that the energy attack of the magic tower was broken and a few people were released.
This S-level [Space Confinement Orb] is very powerful and fully worthy of the S-level rating.
Lu Heng got the orb, but it stayed in the inventory.
Because there is not enough divine energy for law assimilation, there is no way to take it out on Blue Star.
Now Yuan Yaoyao took out an [Abyss Law Assimilation Crystal Core], which can be used to assimilate the [Space Confinement Orb].
Lu Heng took the crystal core and asked: "Have you thought about it, do you really want to give this treasure to me? This treasure is also very precious and cannot be bought outside."
Yuan Yaoyao nodded seriously: "I got these two crystal nuclei by watching TV for fifteen days. I'll give you one, whichever one you want will do."
"Increasing the skill slot will greatly improve you. You can keep it for yourself. If you must give it away, just give it this law assimilation crystal core." Lu Heng said.
"Okay." Yuan Yaoyao nodded happily, and then began to absorb the [Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core].
After a while, the number of her skill slots increased from 3 to 4.
"My skill slot has increased. Brother Lu, what skill do you think I should learn?" Yuan Yaoyao was very happy.
"Don't worry, you can decide when you find the right skills. Since you gave me such a valuable treasure, I'll give you something as well." Lu Heng accepted such a valuable treasure from her and decided to help her upgrade her skills.
"What gift is it?" Yuan Yaoyao's eyes suddenly lit up because she had not received a gift from Lu Heng yet.
In her opinion, the crystal core she was given at the beginning could not be regarded as a gift. After all, her father was paying back the money.
Therefore, when she heard that Lu Heng was going to give something away, she immediately became happy.
"Have you reached the full proficiency level in your current skills? Do you have divine energy? Let me see if I can help you upgrade your skills." Lu Heng said the "gift" he wanted to give.
After hearing this, Yuan Yaoyao pouted and whispered: "It's not a gift..."
"What did you say? Louder, which skill do you want to upgrade?" Lu Heng asked again without hearing clearly.
"Hmm... [Fluid Metal] Okay, the proficiency of this skill is already full. The optical brain analysis upgrade will improve the skill the most." Yuan Yaoyao was in a daze for half a second, and then decided to choose the best upgrade skill based on the conclusion of the optical brain analysis. .
