Chapter 154 Like a god coming to the world, the fire of hope brought by Bai Fu
On the way to Ulises, Bai Fu took the opportunity to search for the specific situation of Ulises on the interstellar network.
In the edge world, a star region at the junction of the explored universe and the dark realm, some civilizations hidden in the dark realm will be discovered every once in a while.
Due to their different locations, the subjects who discovered these civilizations were different, and the experiences of these civilizations after integrating into the star sea were also different.
Some dark domain civilizations have developed very well after integrating into the star sea. If one or two powerful superpowers are born in the civilization with good luck, they may still have a certain say in the star sea.
Some dark domain civilizations are quite miserable. Not to mention having the right to speak, ensuring the normal inheritance of civilization requires a bit of luck.
The Ulises civilization where Vic is located is a typical example. Ulises was originally discovered by a mining team and was connected to the Star Network Community, the main controlling force of the Sea Lion Galaxy, through a wormhole. The Star Network Community was formed by A civilized union composed of multiple civilizations, the cultural attributes are relatively inclusive, and they prefer doing business with other civilizations rather than invading and killing.
Therefore, the Ulises civilization spent a relatively happy period when it first integrated into the star sea. The investment bank of the Star Network Community built two star ports on Ulises and exported a large amount of money to Ulises. Interstellar commodities, but this good time came to an end with the arrival of the ghost civilization that once caused a dimensional disaster in the Initial Gate galaxy cluster.
The ghost civilization that lost in the civilized war has become a violent terrorist organization, and every time it takes action, it will inevitably bring disaster.
Their attack forced the StarNet community to shrink its power, and the subsequent flood (Zerg attack) temporarily left the StarNet community with no time to pay attention to other things. As time went by, the Ulises civilization, which had lost its backer, was disrupted by the Sea Lion Galaxy. On the star road, those Xinghai villains who could sentence anyone for hundreds of years were targeted.
They went to Ulises Planet every now and then to do something. The resources of Ulises Planet were robbed, and the population was getting smaller and smaller due to the continuous plundering.
Thanks to the emergence of several A-level superpowers from the Ulises civilization, and the sale of a lot of assets to hire interstellar hunters, it has been able to persist until now. However, with the sharp decline in assets, those A-level superpowers Either died in battle or fled, and now only Vic is left. The Ulises civilization may have really reached the brink of collapse.
"It's so miserable."
Bai Fu couldn't help but sigh secretly.
If it had not been discovered by the mining team, the Ulises civilization should still be working hard to develop while wondering whether there are intelligent life forms like them in the universe.
If the ghost civilization did not suddenly appear to cause trouble, with the assistance of the Star Network Community, although the ontological culture of the Ulises civilization would have been severely impacted, the quality of life of the Ulises people would definitely not be much worse.
However, where are there so many ifs in the world?
The sea of stars is full of hope, and the sea of stars is cruel. There is a real Virgin here, and there are also indifferent blades shouting "Destroying you, what does it have to do with you?" You never know which one, hope or destruction, will come first.
Bai Fu turned her head away and found that Vic was praying with his eyes closed.
Carrying the last hope of an entire civilization on her own, Vic indeed has a more protagonist aura than any "protagonist" she has encountered before.
But the halo of his protagonist may not necessarily bring him a good experience. Judging from the various information he has disclosed so far, Bai Fu feels that in the original plot, there is a high probability that the Ulises civilization will completely collapse. Then after the player arrives in the Star Sea, he will contact the player as "the last flame of civilization" and embark on the arduous road of revenge or rescuing the captured compatriots.
"Relax." Bai Fu comforted Vic.
Vic opened his eyes and forced a smile. His lips turned white and sweat broke out on his forehead from time to time. It was obvious that he was under great pressure.
Bai Fu didn't say much.
After entering the Star Sea, she can no longer personally take players around to complete tasks like she did on the Origin Star.
The sea of stars is too big. Even with the blessing of various spaceships, she cannot take care of all the players. Therefore, when establishing her own power, it is necessary for her to recruit more NPCs to work for her.
"Anya is the commander-in-chief of operations, and Yulia is the laboratory director and master of magic healing. I also need many commanders to perform specific tasks."
She was wondering if she could take this opportunity to recruit Vic and let a large group of protagonists work for her. Even if she couldn't become a real protagonist, she would still have to be a Star Sea Hero - Fu Ba.
Just as she was thinking, Vic finally contacted the Ulisses, and learned from the conversation that the slave traders only had one spaceship. The spaceship was equipped with very ordinary weapons, and its firepower might not be as good as the cargo ship from Broken Star.
"There are 2 A-level superpowers, 6 B-level superpowers, and more than 200 C-level soldiers on the spaceship. The strength of those C-level soldiers is not very good, but they are all equipped with star nets. The new ray guns and particle guns produced by the community can pose a certain degree of threat to A-class superpowers."
Vic looked solemn.
Bai Fu was convinced that she had experienced the power of the particle gun.
The information brought by Vic convinced her that it was indeed easier to defeat this group of slave traders than to destroy the Fire House. After all, Vic was also an A-level superpower, and after killing Lava, she had done dozens of them from Lava. Guns directly increase the player's combat effectiveness by a large margin.
"The only problem is that the main goal of this mission is not to eliminate the slave traders, but to save people, so it is inappropriate to attack directly. If the other party sees that the situation is not right, they may run away."
Bai Fu thought for a moment.
"It seems we'd better find a way to lure them into taking the initiative. It would be even better if some people can infiltrate their ranks."
Vic nodded: "It's easy to lure the enemy. As long as the spacecraft lands on Ulises, they will definitely come over to investigate, but if you want to break into them..."
A bit whimsical.
Slave traders are greedy but also cautious. They will strictly search people after they catch them. Therefore, it is basically impossible to send people to deliberately pretend to be caught and infiltrate them, and then cooperate inside and outside.
"You can't say that." Bai Fu smiled, "I think you should get to know me and the brave men who followed me to the star sea again."
"Brave?"
Vic was stunned for a moment.
It seemed like it had been a while since he'd heard that title.
"Their abilities are very special, I hope you are not too surprised."
Bai Fu nodded towards Di Bao Ji, Di Bao, it's time for you to perform!
OK!
Dig Ji, who had been taking pictures of Bai Fu, ran over immediately after receiving the order.
Vic was confused.
Special ability?
When he was still guessing what the special ability of Dig Ji was, Dig Ji suddenly shot himself in the heart.
【Fuck! 】
Not to mention Vic, the viewers in the live broadcast room who hung up to watch Bai Fu were all shocked.
[Oops, I already have a premonition of how scared this alien will be]
[Digging for treasure will make you happy]
[You shouldn’t be scared to death. Xinghai’s medical technology should be trustworthy.]
Looking at Diggy Ji who fell to the ground, Vic's brown skin turned green with fear. No, sisters, it's just a show. Are you so cruel?
He rushed forward quickly and stretched out his hand, not knowing what to do. In the end, he could only look back at Bai Fu.
Save me, hurry up and rescue me now, I will be rescued soon!
But Bai Fu didn't seem to see the urgency in his eyes: "Don't worry, she's fine."
I can't breathe anymore, but I'm still fine.
Vic gritted his teeth and stood up to do something. At this moment, he was shocked to find that Digger appeared in the central hall of the spacecraft.
It just popped up all of a sudden.
He lowered his head and found that the body on the ground was gone. He raised his head again and found that Di Ji had walked in front of him.
Vic's brain shut down: "Illusion? Dummy? Projection? Existential cognition? Or..."
"Resurrection." Bai Fu gave the correct answer. "She, and they, all have the ability to resurrect. If you don't believe it, you can verify it again."
"No, no need to verify."
Vic's mouth was slightly open, and a violent storm arose in his heart.
He believed it, but even after he believed it, he felt more and more shocked. There were nearly a hundred brave men with the ability to resurrect. Is this a racial talent or something? You must know that even in the star sea, races with the ability to resurrect are not common, and Bai Fu, who leads these brave men, what is her identity?
“Who are you?”
Anya jumped out in time, with a proud look on her face: "You can call the boss Silver Moon, or Sublime Moon."
In terms of spreading Fumen, her enthusiasm is no less than that of Di Ji.
[Whoever calls Fufu boss, we are half-brothers and sisters]
[But you can just brag about it. Let me, Anya, do the intimate contact with Boss Fufu.]
Silver Moon, the Sublime Moon?
Vic had never heard of this name, but he still remembered it in his heart.
Now he began to believe that Bai Fu could really help him solve the problem, but the more this happened, the more he felt that he was in debt. After all, he only gave Bai Fu 2,000 credit points.
This little money is not enough to hire Bai Fu, let alone Bai Fu's entire team.
You have to find a way to compensate.
Vic is not the kind of person who likes to be in debt. Over the years of traveling in the star sea, he knows that maintaining a balance of interests can better maintain interpersonal relationships.
He said: "With their abilities, it is really easy to get into the group of slave traders, but there is a problem. Those slave traders will definitely confiscate their weapons. Without weapons, they may not be of much use. "
The basic strength of C-class superpowers is still too ordinary.
Bai Fu laughed: "This is not a problem, just don't worry."
No matter how much the slave traders search you, they can't take away the player's experience. As long as the player has experience, he can buy things in her dungeon store at any time. When the time comes, the player buys a few prayer cards and throws them in the slave trader's spaceship. As long as the spacecraft can be blown up so that it cannot fly, everything will be easy to handle.
Although Bai Fu did not explain in detail, Vic did not continue to ask questions this time. He believed that Bai Fu really had a solution.
It was the first time since he received the distress signal, no, since he was the only A-level superpower left in the Ulises civilization. This relaxation came from the fire of hope ignited by Bai Fu in his heart. .
More than a hundred years have passed, and the Ulises civilization, which has been sinking endlessly in suffering, should usher in its own lucky moment, right?
Vic tried to imagine a better future, but he didn't dare to go deep into it at all. Don't casually regard the people he meets in suffering as gods, otherwise the gap between imagination and reality may sting him.
When the spacecraft passed through the atmosphere and sank into the blue star Ulises, Vic, who was standing by the porthole, suddenly sighed.
"Actually, I was called a brave man before."
Bai Fu turned around, and the players wandering around playing cards also pricked up their ears.
"After the Ulises civilization was invaded by those from the Chaos Star Road, in order to allow the civilization to continue, many superpowers in the Ulises civilization stood up. We actively resisted the invasion, wandered in the star sea, and wanted to give the Ulises civilization a The Ulises civilization found a backer, but this was simply impossible. No one was willing to stand up for Uleses who could not provide any benefits. As time went by, more and more superpowers died in the battle, but the situation did not improve at all. , the remaining superpowers split, some felt that the Ulises civilization was completely hopeless, and it was better to pursue their own future than die with this terminal civilization, and the other part was like me. "
Vic was silent for a moment.
"Actually, I also thought about leaving, but my father has paid too much for Ulises. I want to leave a little spark of fire for Ulises. In this way, at least someone will remember what he has done in the future. .
"In short, after the great split, the people of Ulises were almost dissatisfied. No one calls me brave anymore, and few people have hope for the future. After the spacecraft lands, if anyone has any hope for the future, You don’t look good, I apologize in advance.”
Bai Fu nodded to express her understanding.
After listening to Vic's words, the players also started discussing.
[I am super, this Ulises star is much worse than the Zuyuan star]
[If you take a look at it, you will know how hopeless it is to live in a place like this]
[Damn, I’m angry, Chaos Star Road, right? I will take action after the 2.0 Xinghai version is launched! 】
[Good boy, the human emperor is here! 】
The players' emotions were all aroused, and they wished they could flash to Ulises.
A few minutes later, a player standing at the other porthole suddenly screamed.
"What's that?"
Bai Fu looked in the direction of his finger and saw an almost circular area on the ground that was completely crystallized. White and black crystals were mixed together, like burning scars, which made people's hearts tighten. Vic explained: "Ulises was attacked by a large pirate group decades ago. In order to scare us, the flagship of that pirate group fired a plasma spear towards the ground. Under the burning of the plasma spear, , that area became like this.”
Come on, isn't this burning glass? !
Bai Fu’s pupils shrank.
An attack of this level, let alone an A-level superpower, would be difficult for an S-level superpower to resist head-on, so they could only dodge first.
Amidst the exclamations, the spacecraft finally stopped on the ground.
The hatch opened, and Vic was the first to walk out. The environment of Ulises is very different from that of the Origin Star. The gravity, air composition, and temperature are all different, but it is still very easy for Bai Fu and the players to adapt. .
During the landing process, the spacecraft had already attracted the attention of the ruin-like city not far away, but not many people came to greet it. There were only a few people. Standing at the front was a little girl who was happy after seeing Vic. ran over.
"Brother Vic, you are finally back!"
Vic greeted the little girl, while Bai Fu and the player looked around.
The situation in Ulises was worse than they imagined. The place where they lived was in devastation. The black buildings that looked like metal squares were missing pieces here and there. The clothes they wore looked old and only a few people could wear them. A battle armor with certain protective capabilities.
Leeks are not like that!
Bai Fu was speechless.
"This is the interstellar hunter I hired this time, Silver Moon, and her followers." Vic introduced.
The reaction of the Ulises people was not big. Their brows had been furrowed since they appeared, but now they only opened their eyes slightly, and then nodded and said "Welcome".
In the final analysis, no one believes that Bai Fu can solve the problem. Even if Bai Fu solves the problem this time, what about next time?
Bai Fu is an interstellar hunter, and hiring an interstellar hunter costs a lot.
Although he had long realized that the situation would turn out like this and warned him in advance, Vic was still embarrassed now.
"Sorry, let me take you into the city first to inquire about the specific situation."
"Let's go." After taking two steps, Bai Fu suddenly asked, "Vic, how old are you?"
Vic was puzzled: "25 years old."
"young people?"
"Young for an Ulises."
Bai Fu: "..."
No wonder the little girl called Vic brother, but she really didn't see it. The weather on Vic's face always made her think that Vic was as old as Nissen.
The 25-year-old A-level superpower is indeed an NPC with lucky talents.
On the way into the city, Vic introduced Baifu to Ulises.
There are now only three cities left in Ulises, and the population has dropped from hundreds of millions at its peak to hundreds of thousands. These cities are not so much cities, but are actually similar to some settlements on the Origin Star. The only difference is The technological level of Ulises is higher than that of the Origin Star, and the architectural style is mainly metal aesthetic. Even when civilization is about to die, those dilapidated buildings still give people a sense of cold technology.
"Brother Vic is back!"
The little girl shouted in front. On the roadside, many people poked their heads out of their houses. They just looked and didn't speak.
Finally, Vic took Baifu and the others to the city manager's residence to learn about the situation.
The manager was an elderly man whose eyes had begun to become cloudy. When Vic came in, he was calculating how much food was left in the city.
"Those slave traders captured 725 people this time. They did not capture more because their spaceship could not hold them. These 725 people are all young and strong. After they are captured, it will be more difficult for us to collect food in the future."
The manager scratched his head in worry, and the other Ulisses around him also sighed.
Interstellar slave traders would visit Ulises every now and then, commonly known as "buying goods". They would capture at least hundreds of people each time, and at most thousands of people. The population of Ulises would decrease sharply. This slave trader was out of business. Vigorously.
The Ulisses harbor boundless hatred, but hatred cannot be transformed into fighting power.
When the slave traders came again, they were unable to resist.
Resistance requires force and money. They are about to lose all force. As for money, where will they get it?
Every time this happens, managers will regret it.
Perhaps when the Great Schism comes, he should make a firm decision and lead the entire clan to leave Ulises. At that time, they still have some money to hire starships to transport people.
It's a pity that at that time, all he thought was that once Ulises was abandoned, they would become rootless duckweeds and be easier to bully in the sea of stars. Even if their bloodline was lucky enough to continue, Ulises's From now on, words only exist in memories.
In fact, even if they stay in Ulises, they have waited year after year, and the situation still has not improved at all. Now, there are only the last few hundred thousand people in Ulises. Isn't the word Ulises about to be used in the universe? Perish in the torrent?
The manager forced a smile: "Vic, why did you come back early? Forget it, just come back. With you here, those slave traders should restrain themselves a lot."
Vic said: "Uncle, I came back this time to rescue those compatriots who were captured by slave traders."
Hearing his words, the manager's expression suddenly changed: "This is too dangerous, don't be impulsive."
He doesn't want to bother anymore.
Vic is the last A-level super user of Ulises. If he dies, then Ulises will lose even the last bit of confidence and will soon be dismembered by those slave traders.
Vic said: "I brought helpers back."
The manager glanced at Bai Fu and Yulia, then shook his head: "Those slave traders are not ordinary people, so it's better to be cautious."
The Ulisses standing behind him moved their mouths, but finally said nothing.
Vic had long expected this situation: "We have no way out. If we don't resist, we will inevitably die. If we resist, we may die faster, but we may also find a glimmer of hope."
The manager doesn't speak, just sits.
Vic stood for a while and then said firmly: "I will act according to my own ideas."
Throwing these words, he walked out of the manager's home.
When he walked outside, he said to Bai Fu with a sullen face: "The manager was not like this before, but the older he gets, he, alas."
The Ulisses had almost completely lost their fighting spirit. They lived like zombies. There were some exceptions among them, but most of the exceptions either died or were assimilated.
Bai Fu looked around, her eyes passing over each Ulisesian.
She suddenly thought of the Ancestral Star. After the 2.0 version is opened, the Ancestral Star will also be connected to the Star Sea. Will the Ancestral Star become the same as Ulises by then?
With players here, Zuyuan Star should not be like this, but there is a guarantee that it will encounter some suffering. A little suffering from the sea of stars may be a big earthquake if it falls on an ordinary civilization like Zuyuan Star. , in this big earthquake, many people she knew or even had a good relationship with could die.
Bai Fu has feelings for Zuyuan Star. After all, it is her hometown in the game.
"We have to find a way to prevent this from happening. The best way is that I can grow enough to protect the Ancestral Star before the 2.0 version is launched. The strength of the S-class should be almost the same."
S-level is the pinnacle of "mortal" and is the only way from "mortal" to natural disasters.
"When are you going to take action?" Bai Fu asked Vic.
Vic said: "Let's start now. Please give me the command of your followers for the time being. I will arrange for them to attract the attention of those slave traders."
"What are you going to do?"
"I suspect that someone within us has secretly taken refuge with those slave traders. When the slave traders attacked last time, they left early when I was still halfway there, so this time I only contacted a few people I trusted when I came back."
Bai Fu nodded: "As long as you have a plan."
She called Jian Qi Dingtian, Hei Si and Patrick Star over and explained the situation to them without forgetting to warn them.
"This mission is very important. I know you usually like to compete, but now is not the time to compete."
After some discussion, Vic took half of the players and left temporarily.
Bai Fu stood on the dilapidated street for a while, and suddenly noticed that the little girl who greeted Vic when she got off the spaceship came over.
"Sister, you look so beautiful."
Ouch, children are really good at talking!
Bai Fu took out a few candies to replenish energy and handed them to the little girl.
"Sister, I heard that Brother Vic said that he couldn't afford to hire an A-class superpower, but you took the initiative to lower the asking price and flew Brother Vic back in a spaceship. Thank you." The little girl who took the candy said quickly Thanks.
Bai Fu said: "You're welcome, it's just a normal transaction."
The little girl raised her head: "Sister, do we, Ulises, really have no future?"
Bai Fu waited for a few seconds before saying: "You are the future of Ulises, and Vic is also the future of Ulises. One day in the future, he will become the hero who leads you out of suffering."
These words made the little girl's mood rise a lot: "Sister, you are such a good person."
Bai Fu neither affirmed nor denied. She called Anya over and asked Anya to play with the little girl.
The battle that follows is dangerous and Anya is not fit to participate.
But when she asked Anya to play with the little girl, it wasn't just for fun. She mainly wanted Anya to keep an eye on this place to see if a mole would jump out and cause trouble after a fight.
Anya's strength is already very close to that of a B-class superpower. There are few people in Ulises who can defeat her. What's more, she also has power armor and prayer cards, so it's easy to catch a mole.
After everything was arranged, Bai Fu took the remaining players back to the spaceship to observe the situation at any time to prevent the slave traders from directly flying the spacecraft to bomb.
While waiting, she marked Ulises on the map.
She has fallen in love with this planet. It is too expensive to buy a livable planet. If Ulises can be transformed into her base in the star sea, it can be used to receive players from various novice planets...
Bai Fu thinks this idea is good, but she doesn't know what the Ulises people's attitude is.
In her opinion, the benefits to the Ulises people far outweigh the disadvantages. She does not represent any civilization. Her followers are players and NPCs "abducted" by her. She is stationed here, and she can It ensures the safety of Ulises without causing any impact on Ulises civilization.
Anyway, let’s see when the time comes.
With her current strength, fighting off this slave trader will not solve the problems facing Ulises. She can only do so if her name can scare the evil organizations in the Chaos Star Road area of the Sea Lion Galaxy. She has the confidence to do things on Ulises, otherwise she would have invested a lot of money in construction here and might be bombed while she was doing it.
Bai Fu waited for more than 2 hours.
When it got a little dark, she received an urgent call from Vic.
"A detachment of slave traders attacked those of your followers. According to reports from your followers, they were interrogating those who were captured. Once the interrogation was over, they would immediately attack us. They did not know that those of you The followers have special contact information, so they don’t know that their plans have been completely exposed. This is our opportunity!”
Vic was overcome with emotion.
The various special abilities displayed by the players made him feel more and more that Bai Fu was a superman.
Bai Fu nodded: "Let's start taking action. Lead them to a place far away from the city where it is inconvenient for the spacecraft to land directly. I will come right away."
Vic did as he was told.
After the call ended, Bai Fu glanced at Yulia who was cutting her toenails.
"Come and live."
Yulia put away the nail clippers: "Let's go."
It's time to stretch out my muscles and bones. I've been dehydrated by spending time in the lab morning and night.
PS: Thanks to Yuan Yuanyuan and Boyan Bushun for the reward
