Link's near-collapse voice wafted through the desert, only the relentless sound of the wind echoed.

"Xiaobao, is the gerbil really gone?"

The treasure hunt rat sniffed hard, but I don't know if it was out of distance or if the desertified gerbil had no smell on it, but it really couldn't be found.

Squeak squeak.

Link was cold, he finally knew what the so-called inducing unknown problem was.

The gerbil's abilities were extremely useful when crossing the Gobi, but now they are gone, all gone!

Ah Fu on the side didn't feel the desperate atmosphere, and was still trying to stretch his neck to look: "Boss, why hasn't the gerbil come back, is it because he was born too curious about the desert?" ”

🗡❤

Burst!

listen

Heart-piercing voice.

"Ah Fu, let's get ready to go!"

Ah Fu was a little confused: "Boss, aren't you waiting for the gerbil to come back?" ”

Link's tone was grim: "To celebrate the birth of the gerbil, I gave it a big gift. ”

"When the gift was given, why don't I know?"

Seeing Link turn around, Ah Fu glanced at the desert a few times, and hurriedly followed up and asked, "Boss, what did you send?" ”

"Send it free ......"

This time the pet ran away can be regarded as a lesson for Link, and the success rate and material matching are still very important.

Spending more than half an hour in the ruins of the city, Link wasn't prepared to stay any longer. Now that the Wasteland Gang has issued a warrant for him, the helicopter is already on its way, so there is no need to continue to waste time here and increase the risk.

Link walked ahead with a satellite phone, and Ah Fu followed closely with his backpack.

The treasure hunt rat stood on Link's shoulder, seriously like a small sentinel, sniffing the wind blowing from the Gobi and carefully distinguishing the ingredients and breath inside.

Link quickly pulled away from the awkward atmosphere of gerbils fleeing and focused on the [Attributes] screen.

After synthesizing, there were only 7 points of blood left, which was not enough to synthesize other pets, so Link simply chose to upgrade.

[Lv1→ Lv2 costs 400 XP, is it necessary to level up?] Yes / No]

Be!

Link chose to level up without hesitation, and all his life and energy were restored.

————

For every level you level up in Destiny, you will get 3 potential points.

Potential points can be added to any of the seven attributes.

Strength, agility, stamina, and intelligence are all available in regular games, and the effects don't have to be explained too much.

They correspond to attack, movement speed, attack speed, health and energy, and the ratio of stamina intelligence to life energy is 1:10.

The energy value represents the affinity for energy, and if the energy exceeds 5 points, it is the so-called ability in the game, which can control the use of energy to attack, and the common control of various elemental powers, such as telekinesis, illusion, etc.

There are four main classes in the Destiny game, which are martial arts, abilities, mechanics, and mysteries.

There are many specific classes under these four categories, and you can learn another subclass after level 20, so there are many combinations and ways to play the game.

But if you want to say that the most crucial element of the game is undoubtedly the experience points.

XP can be used not only to level up the player, but also to improve skill levels, perks, and even pet levels.

I'll talk about these in detail when I encounter them later, and I'll look at Link first.

After moving up to level 2, Link gets 3 allocable potential points, but he doesn't add them after thinking about it.

"It's enough to escape with blood and essence for the time being, and 3 potential points can save your life at a critical moment."

On the one hand, there are 3 potential points, which can be used as hole cards.

Second, Link was reborn and got the golden finger, and he hasn't decided which series to choose, so he won't rush to add points.

Link exited from the [Properties] interface, and every ten minutes he took out his satellite phone to look at the GPS coordinates and correct the bearing.

Walking in the endless Gobi is a rather tedious task, not to mention that they still run on their legs.

So this time also became the time for Link to deepen his understanding of Ah Fu.

"Ah Fu, how did you get caught?"

"Our tribe originally lived in the desert, and then the Wasteland Gang swept the desert and annexed the tribe, and all the tribes were sent to slave camps. Boss, in fact, our clan also had superpowers at the earliest, but two fists are invincible with four hands, and one superpower can defend the tribe, but in the face of hundreds or thousands of firepower from the Wasteland Gang, there is only one way to die. ”

Ah Fu's tone became depressed as he spoke.

Once upon a time, the Superpower was a symbol of a clan's strength, and each clan took pride in being able to produce a Superpower.

However, when the Wasteland Gang's steel torrent swept in, the once proud superpowers either died in battle to protect their clan, or were lured by the Wasteland Gang to defect in battle.

"Then how did you go from coolie to cook? Don't the mercenaries talk about you when you eat so fat? ”

This body type, even if you say that you didn't steal food, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

Ah Fu smiled, touched his head and said, "Actually, at first, I only ate a little bite, and I won't be found at all." But one time I was so hungry that I stole a chicken leg at night, and by chance I was found out, so I ......"

"What's wrong?"

So he was taken out by the mercenaries, tied to a cross, and exposed to the sun in the desert for two days and two nights. They only gave me water, but not food, and they hung for their lives. Later, after the tie was loosened, I was asked to eat a few catties of sand, which spared me. ”

Ah Fu patted his stocky belly: "I wasn't fat before, but since I ate sand and had a stomachache for a few days, my belly slowly bulged and my body became bloated." ”

Link was silent after listening.

After being hungry for 2 days, I was poured a few catties of sand, my stomach was clogged and flatulent, and my whole body was swollen......

These brutes!

After a while, Link comforted, "It's good to wait until we get to Shadu." When the time comes, buy an enhancement solution on the black market and you will be able to expel the sand from your body. ”

"Boss, how much does that augmentation solution cost?"

"10,000 yuan a piece."

Ah Fu's eyes widened and he gasped: "It's so expensive, you have to save until the Year of the Monkey?" ”

"What did you do in the Clan before?"

"The coffin was carried by me and my father, as well as a few relatives. I only earn two or three hundred yuan a month, and I can't afford to buy an enhancement solution for 10,000 yuan a month, I'm afraid I can't afford it in my life......" Ah Fu said in a depressed tone, 10,000 yuan is an astronomical amount for him, and he can't earn so much in his life.

"Not necessarily. There are many opportunities and ways to make money, which is different from your tribes that are closed to information and inconvenient transportation. ”

The two talked all the way and walked all the way, and when the sun set, they found a Gobi boulder.

Link and Ah Fu pluck dead tree branches nearby, light a campfire, and curl up in linen to survive the first night of the game.

The next morning, Link felt his cheeks being shaken back and forth, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was a treasure hunt rat shaking his head with two small paws to get him up.

Link rubbed his sleepy eyes and glanced at Ah Fu, who was slumped on the ground and snoring.

"Xiaobao, tell him to get up."

After receiving the order, the treasure hunt rat jumped on Ah Fu in three or two steps, and used Ah Fu's belly as a trampoline.

After trying a while, Ah Fu didn't respond, and the treasure hunt mouse ran to the collar of his clothes again, unfolded a solid horse step, and clenched his two little paws into fists.

The fist was like a heavy rain falling on Ah Fu's face, and the fat on his face trembled under the 'bombardment' of the small fist.

(￣ε(#￣)

Ah Fu immediately woke up from his sleep, covered his face and screamed.

The two of them replenished their energy a little, and Link glanced at the pure water that still had about a liter left, and then looked at the data on the satellite phone.

"We walked 20 kilometers in half a day yesterday and 50 kilometers today. If nothing else, we will be able to reach the Grand Canal of Gauria this afternoon, and then we will make some supplies, find a place to rest, and tomorrow we will grit our teeth and walk for another day, as long as we pass through the Weeping Valley, we will be able to enter the territory of Shadu in the evening, and then we will be safe. ”

Listening to Link's words, Ah Fu's eyes were bright, flashing with hope and excitement.

By tomorrow night at the latest, he will be able to say goodbye to the galewind desert and the barren Gobi forever.

He's going free!

Link is equally confident.

As long as we pass the canal supply pass today, the road behind will be much safer.

Although the entire barren Gobi and the Weeping Valley are the territory of the Mechanic God Cult, most of the activities of the Mechanicus Cult are concentrated south of the Gauria Grand Canal, and they rarely patrol across the canal.

The distance from the Valley of the Crying Valley to the canal is more like a buffer zone.

Although 42 years have passed since the Reckoning Day, both the Sand Capital and the Mechanicus Cult belong to the forces that were only bred after the reckoning day.

Some forces have been accumulated, but they are far from the point of a large-scale war.

After the liquidation, the original pattern was completely overturned, and new forces gradually rose.

Accompanied by a change in thinking, thinking about the future fate of mankind, coupled with the birth of superpowers, all kinds of extreme ideas emerged in an endless stream, and won many supporters.

The Cult of the Mechanicus is one such organization, believing that the unity of man and machine is the direction of future evolution.

Inferior soldiers fight with implanted chips, and more advanced are transformed into humans, combining flesh and blood with machinery. The highest mechanical reincarnation program retains only the human brain, and the rest of the body is replaced with mechanical parts, so that as long as the brain does not die, mechanical immortality can be achieved.

At the same time, the Cult of the Mechanics has also developed bioenergy technology. By converting ordinary people's biological energy to generate electricity, ordinary people who are captured will be stuffed into a nutrient solution vessel, turned into a part of a huge battery, and sunk in a dream that they think is reality, until they are drained of the last trace of energy.

Perhaps on the verge of escaping the desert Gobi, Link and Ah Fu are both walking much brisker today.

I didn't even sit down for lunch, but took time to eat a little while on the march.

"Alright, let's start walking due north now, and after another twenty kilometers, we will reach the Grand Canal of Gauria."

Link said, touching the gun belt on his body through his clothes: "Xiaobao, come out to work!" ”

The treasure hunt rat stretched out in the empty pouch of the gun belt and crawled out of his clothes lazily, his mouth slightly open and yawning.

Soon to arrive at the Grand Canal, Link didn't want any trouble.

The Treasure Hunt Rats kept vigil last night and didn't sleep, so in the morning Link asked the little one to sleep and rest.

It's hard to stay up all night, let alone a juvenile mouse.

"Have you rested? After resting, it's time to get to work. ”

The treasure hunt rat squeaked twice and patted its chest to indicate that it was wrapped around its body.

The Grand Canal traverses the barren Gobi, but other places have turbulent water flow and are heavily guarded, except for the middle and upper reaches of the northwest, because of the terrain when digging, there is a slow water bulge, and this is located in the middle and upper reaches, and the patrol of mechanical soldiers is also the least.

In the past, when they couldn't afford to ride a helicopter and couldn't drive a car, players used to wade through the canal from here.

Link is no exception, and although six years have passed since his memory, Link still remembers the coordinates (232,093,723) clearly.

The satellite phone calibrated the direction, and Link took Ah Fu and headed due north.

Link holds a satellite phone in one hand to look at the coordinates plus solar charging, and chats with Ah Fu on the other side.

At this moment, the treasure hunting rat on his shoulder suddenly squeaked and squeaked rapidly.

When Link looked up into the distance, he suddenly saw a mechanical city at the end of the Gobi, slowly moving at the end of the horizon.

Ah Fu saw the boss stop, followed his gaze, and also saw the behemoth at the end of the horizon.

A city made entirely of metal is moving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the end of the Gobi, the ground was scorched by the scorching sun, and the space in the distance looked as if it had been distorted.

And this mechanical city "dances" in the distortion of steam, silently moving in the distance.

"This is a mirage in the Gobi, right? I finally saw it today! ”

Ah Fu opened the corners of his mouth and smiled, he had heard of a mirage when he was in the desert, but he had never seen it, but he didn't expect to see it on the way to escape this time, and it was still a mirage that could move.

Rare!

On the contrary, Link on the side, staring at the distant picture with a serious face, and only after a long time popped up a sentence: "That's not a mirage, that's the core of the Mechanic God Cult, Mechanical City!" ”

"What? This is the Machine City? ”

The sun was scorching, but Ah Fu felt a chill all over his body.

"But boss, how can a city move, this must be a mirage, right?"

Link put away the satellite phone, took out a pistol from the gun belt, and said with a serious face: "It's because it can move, it's the real mechanical city." ”

"The highest attainment of the Cult of the Mechanics, the Mechanic City, a city that can move."
