Chapter 374: Task Team Gathering (Plus 1 & 2)
Shadu, an inconspicuous fast-food truck shop in the underground black market.
Dave, who hung up the phone, was in high spirits.
He waited months to witness Link's transformation from a slave to the king of Shadu.
With Link's current status, it is almost impossible for Dave to get Link to do anything. Even he himself broke his thoughts.
But a phone call from Link rekindled his long-extinguished hope.
Dave closed the door of the stall and then went to his store's warehouse to pick up a black box. Glancing left and right, he found that no one was paying attention, so he quickly stuffed the black box into his backpack, zipped it up, calmly walked out of the warehouse area, and left the underground black market with the crowd of people.
Walking out of the underground black market, Dave felt that the bright sunlight drove away the depression on his body, and the whole person was freed from the oppressive environment.
Drive the classic car and go all the way back to the iron gate repair shop on the edge of the slum.
Although it is a repair shop, since Dave moved the store into the underground black market, the storefront room here is no longer open, and it is only used to sleep after returning from work every day and conduct experimental research.
Enter the shop and pull down the roller shutter again.
The room was messy, and everything was stacked haphazardly. Bottles and cans were scattered all over the place, and you even had to tiptoe to pass through the hallway.
Dave opened the door to the cargo room at the corner of the staircase, and a staircase leading to the ground appeared in front of him.
Dave is usually afraid of disturbing the people, and he is also worried that his plans will be exposed, so the experiments are carried out underground.
Walking up the stairs to the basement, the sensor control lights are on, and the holographic screen of the workbench is a few blueprints of mechanical equipment, and the countertop is messily placed with various tools and equipment. And in the corner of the room, there is a huge sculpture covered with a plush blanket, and the neat lines are faintly visible.
Dave took off his backpack and was about to get to work, when the alarm on the table suddenly glowed red.
Immediately after that, the monitoring screen popped up on the HUD glass display, and it was three strangers sneaking around in front of their house.
Two of them kept looking around, and one bent over to fight the door lock.
Dave has been doing business in the underground black market all year round, and the number of people who pass in front of his small shop every day is not a thousand but eight hundred, and he has already developed a sharp eye. At a glance, it can be seen that these people are the killers of the Platinum Hotel.
Dave's mechanical glasses shrank back and forth, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he instantly understood the reason.
"You're being watched, huh...... If you dare to come to the door, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
Dave quickly tore off the plush blanket covering the giant sculpture, and suddenly a two-meter-tall mecha appeared in front of him.
The mecha has a central manned design, with uneven metal surface levels, and even the most basic polishing has not been done. The soldering points can be clearly seen where each module is attached, and there is even a place where the tape is wrapped and fixed. The design of the mech is devoid of beauty, like a steel deformity randomly pieced together from a garbage heap, and the whole body exudes an old and tattered atmosphere.
Dave quickly pressed the mech button, and a motherboard-like thing popped out from under the mech's crotch.
Then quickly place the five chips in the backpack on the motherboard one by one.
Crash~
The roller shutter door outside was pried open, the door was pulled up, and the three killers immediately broke into the room, raised their guns and began to search for Dave's whereabouts.
"He's in the house, search!"
"Don't let him run!"
Dave in the basement listened to the sound of three staggered footsteps overhead, glanced at the HUD projection, and saw the busy figures of three platinum hotel killers through the surveillance in the room.
Dave immediately opened the safe and took out three battery balls from it, which were placed in the three hemisphere grooves behind the mech.
"Didn't find it!"
"I don't have it on my side!"
"Come to me, there's a door to the basement!"
The killers outside were communicating unscrupulously, and Dave had already decided to hide in the basement.
A moment later, the door at the staircase in the basement was opened with a "squeak~", and the friction of the old sour teeth came down the stairs into the basement, as if death had descended.
"Dave, don't hide, surrender obediently and go back with us, maybe there is still a life."
"If you resist, then we'll have to take your corpse back."
The three killers cautiously entered the stairs and slowly walked down from it with their guns in hand.
Dave, this guy is not a soft persimmon, he is proficient in mechanical transformation, and the difficulty of issuing this bounty task from the Platinum Hotel is not low.
"Link contacted you privately over the phone, as long as you go back and explain the reason to Derek, and are willing to tell the secret between you and Link, we promise not to hurt you a hair."
The three killers looked at the traces of the staircase and could be sure that Dave had fled here.
It's just that their words are like mud cows entering the sea, coming down a narrow staircase into the basement, only an empty echo, and no response.
Dave ignored the killer and instead climbed the ladder onto the mech and sat in the 'cockpit' in the middle.
The mecha activated, and the red energy of the three hemispheres behind it passed through the catheter to the mecha's core hub under Dave's buttocks, and then transmitted to the mecha's limbs.
The sound of hydraulic and oil transmission is clearly visible, and the joint ejects pressure vapor and starts the transmission.
Scavenger Mecha, officially launched!
The killer, who was slowly going downstairs, heard a strange noise, and was even more sure that Dave was in the basement.
Dave's eyes were firm, and he had the confidence to call the board after activating the mecha.
"I'm afraid the Platinum Hotel has been spying on me for a long time, right? Link just called me on the front foot, and you guys came with the back foot, the underground black market is really a good place, and it's okay to trade freely, so why doesn't it take effect when you come to me? ”
The three killers look at each other and decide to continue the conversation to distract Dave while communicating tactics in sign language.
"The hotel can't be blamed either. Link is now on the top wanted warrant at the Platinum Hotel, and you, as the person who was once most closely associated with him in the underground black market, will naturally be under surveillance. Now that the connection is confirmed, Nadrick has to take action and arrest you back for interrogation. If you cooperate well and help the Platinum Hotel deal with Link, you will also have a share of the reward of the highest wanted warrant. ”
"Hehe, as far as the conditions offered by the Platinum Hotel are concerned, it is difficult for me to be tempted~"
Dave's Scavenger mech's scanning function is turned on, and the location of the three people has been locked through the wall on the holographic screen.
The heat signal outlined the silhouette and body shape of the three people vividly, and also saw the sign language of the three people.
"Tell us what you want, and we can contact Manager Thomas right now. As long as you can sit down and tell the secret between you and Link calmly, I think Thomas will definitely agree to your offer. ”
"Huh, huh?" Dave was joking.
The trio donned special gas masks, while one of them pulled out tear gas and used words to distract Dave as he prepared to forcibly subdue the other.
It's a pity that the actions of the three of them on the stairs were all taken into the eyes of Dave's thermal imaging, naked like ***, there is no secret at all.
This joke, in addition to ridiculing the conditions offered by the other party, is also teasing their delaying tactics.
"Then my condition is...... For your lives! ”
As soon as Dave finished speaking, the scavenger mech went into action.
Squeak Squeak –
At the same time, the killer's tear gas was also thrown directly into the basement, blasting out countless smokes with a bang, and then the killer rushed into the basement, and a burst of fire was monstrous. This was followed by a dense thud of bullets crashing against the metal.
The residential building was playing party, mahjong, and everything, and I didn't notice the heavy gunfire in the basement at all.
But after a few moments, the residential building began to shake slightly.
The tea cup next to the mahjong table trembled, the water level fluctuated, and the aunts and uncles did not play their cards and stared closely.
In the room, the chandelier above his head began to shake, and the shadows of men and women dancing in the room were also swaying, and after a while, the DJ stopped the music, and the twisted Matt in the living room also stopped moving, looking up at the shaking ceiling lamp stupidly.
"Earthquake?"
I don't know who suddenly asked.
In the next second, a mecha broke through the wall from the first floor, shook off the three corpses hanging on its body, and rushed towards the south.
The people in the residential building were all leaning against the windows, staring at the handsome back of the scavenger mecha in amazement.
"Oh my God, there's still a mecha hidden in our residential building!"
……
At the same time, inside Shenmu City.
Link is on his way to finding the other members.
In addition to Dave, who escaped from the Machine City and is familiar with the structure of the Machine City, Link is also ready to recruit some more talents to complete this task together.
With such a good main line of planet quests, the first thing Link thought of was the players.
The main quest is only once and cannot be repeated. Such a precious opportunity, without a few players, Link can't pass his own level.
These potential players, not following him to experience the top plot of the planet, but fighting guerrilla battles with fanatics and mercenaries on the front line, is really a waste of talent. The more you feel today, the higher their potential for growth in the future.
For the sake of the player, Link can be said to have broken his heart.
In the weapons and ammunition shop in Shenmu City, the wind-chasing Rejoice is leading the men of the Miracle Guild to replenish ammunition supplies.
"Picked another bunker today, have you written down the tactical essentials? Next time, it's not going to be ten men attacking a bunker, you're going to try to attack in a squad of five. So think more about wanting to collar and key. ”
As Chasing Feng was talking, the door of the weapon shop suddenly opened, and a man wearing a black suit and sunglasses walked in the door, swept around, and his eyes focused on Chasing Wind, who was talking bitterly.
The man in sunglasses walked up to Chasing Wind and said, "President Lin has something important to look for you, please get in the car and talk about it." ”
Chasing Feng recognized that the person in front of him was Link's driver, and then glanced at the black limousine outside the open gate, which was indeed Link's official trip.
Chasing the wind's heart suddenly tightened, Link actually had something important to say to himself, could it be some special task?
Chasing the wind followed the driver and got into the car full of anxiety.
Link sat in the back seat with his legs crossed, and glanced at it when he saw Chasing Wind get into the car.
After a month of open beta in the game, the level of chasing the wind reached level 19, and he changed from the martial arts department - martial artist to a qi martial artist, a profession that relies on internal qi to enhance physical strength and fight.
"President, are you looking for me......" Chasing Feng looked nervous and excited, with a hint of nervousness.
Link nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that your cultivation has not been left behind during this time. Now I have an important mission here, and I need you to infiltrate the Machine City with me. This is a confidential and dangerous task that you can turn down if you don't want to. ”
Link said, throwing the edited mission text to Chasing Wind.
Suddenly, a task appeared on the wind-chasing interface - a B-level mission!
[You triggered the B-rank quest [Mechanical Spy], accept/decline]
[Hint: Link admires you and invites you to secretly go to Robina City, the base of the Cult of the Mechanics, as the mission is extremely dangerous and will be extremely difficult, but you will learn a lot about the secrets of Wasteland during the mission.] Your main mission is to keep Link and the Mysteries safe, and to carry out the tasks that Link gave on the way.]
[Reward: 50,000 XP, Link Favorability, Shenmu City Prestige, Random Blue Quality Reward]
After reading the details of the mission, Chasing Feng was dumbfounded.
B-level mission, this is a task difficulty that even the military intelligence department can't receive!
Compared to the quest hint, the quest experience reward given is not too high, but the NPC favorability thing, how powerful it is, needless to say. The reason why Wind Chasing and the Miracle Guild were able to go smoothly after the open beta was all due to the favorability earned when they joined the Link Gang, and now they can get the favorability reward again, which is to lay the foundation for the future development of themselves and the Miracle Guild!
Not to mention the fact that there are also Shenmu City reputation and random blue quality rewards in the mission.
Bombing Chicken was a druid player before, and had no advantage other than being slightly higher in rank among druid players. But after getting the psychedelic vine presented by Link, he can solo the bunker by himself, and complete many tasks that the closed beta players can't complete, and countless players' eyes are red with jealousy.
This time you will be rewarded with a random blue quality, and you will have a good chance of getting a blue quality pet!
Grunt~
Chasing the wind was stunned for a while, and finally came back to his senses and swallowed his saliva.
"The president trusts me so much, I will never give up!"
Link nodded in satisfaction, "The details of this mission can't be mentioned to anyone, including friends who have a good relationship with you." Once revealed, you will not only lose your mission qualifications, but also lose your identity as an employee of the Lin Consortium, understand? ”
Chasing Feng chuckled in his heart, he had wanted to talk to the rest of the guild about the details of the mission and analyze it together when he returned. But when he heard this, he immediately retreated, and didn't dare to say more. At least not in the game!
"There's nothing you can do to get ready. Tonight at 0:00, meet at Wuthering Castle. ”
After chasing the wind and getting out of the car, the black sedan did not stop, but drove straight to the next place.
The players of the Miracle Guild, led by the Dog Remnant King, all grinned and asked curiously: "President, what is the matter with Link looking for you?" Did you give you a special mission? ”
Chasing the wind's face turned into the color of pig liver: "Shhh Unspeakable! ”
: Haha I didn't expect it, Wanjun started to add changes again. First, it's because it's recommended.,Second, everyone has been urging these days.,Said that there were fewer updates.,So Wanjun started to repay next month's additions a few days in advance.。 So recommend tickets, monthly passes, and rewards, all of which should be smashed quickly~
