Act 1: Broken Heart Chapter 12: Leaping Fortress
Before dawn, Resa had already come to the Explorer Alliance, where there were personnel on duty twenty-four hours a day, and there was no need to worry about no one receiving her, Resa went to the registration window for the Frost Fall Node to go to the wilderness, the population density of the Frostfall Node was much higher than that of the Frost Node, so there were relatively many people going to the Wilderness.
Ressa waited quietly, about an hour or so, before it was his turn to register, the Frostfall Node is the largest node, and the Leap Fortress that can be selected is much more than the Frost Cold, Resa chose a Leap Fortress that was not originally available in the Frost Node as the target, and quietly waited for the number of people to reach the standard.
The so-called Hop Fortress is still a fortress base still built in the earth's space, which is used to connect nodes with the earth's wilderness, and each fortress base is equipped with the most advanced space concealment devices and powerful garrison forces, and explorers will enter the Leap Fortress through the Twist Jump. Then jump through the fortress to the wilderness, which can ensure the safety of the node to the greatest extent, and can also avoid the tragedy of explorers appearing directly in the group of celestial beasts after going to the wilderness.
Spatial Leap requires a huge amount of energy, so you must gather at least a thousand people at a time before opening Spatial Leap, in addition, all martial arts are prohibited in the Leap Fortress, even if the enemy who does not share the sky faints on the ground, if you dare to kill him, then you and your loved ones will be wanted by all nodes. Therefore, no one will want to do it in the Leaping Fortress, even if they settle the grudge, they will have to pay for themselves and their loved ones.
After registering, Ressa found a quiet corner and sat down, looking at the information on the billboard, there are only more than 600 explorers registered at present, at least a thousand people, and the folding device will be activated. Ressa pulled an energy bar from her pocket, held it in her mouth, and played with a silver coin in her hand.
This silver coin is issued to explorers after the Hop Fortress is registered to go to the wilderness, don't look at it is very small, its internal electronic units and energy devices are currently the most advanced, after the explorer goes to the wilderness, they can activate the space energy in this coin, and the Hop Fortress forms an induction, and jumps back to the Snap Fortress in a very short time.
However, due to the fury of the Leap Energy, this coin can only be used once, which can be called a consumable, so before the explorer goes to the wilderness, he must pay 100 exploration points to exchange for silver coins, and can only be exchanged for one, if you don't exchange coins and want to go to the wilderness, then if you want to return to the Leap Fortress, you must return to the wilderness location you arrived at the beginning, and open the Leap Gate through the crystal card.
It's just that this opening time is quite slow, and it will be quite dangerous if it is discovered by the Heavenly Beast. No loot will be recovered inside the Hopping Fortress, but Explorers will be able to trade some of their bounty targets or quest items privately.
Of course, this exchange must be exchanged at the Hop Fortress's Trading Center, and each party will need to pay 10% of the value of the item they need to exchange. to avoid a situation similar to black eating black.
In order to prevent Explorers from selling silver, it is not possible to open a gateway with a crystal card for a period of time after first reaching the wilderness, but coins do not have this restriction.
As for the way to activate the coin, it is very simple, as long as a small amount of ability or energy in the body is infused, the internal refraction system of the coin can be activated, and this reincarnation energy will wrap the holder and fold into the retaining area in the middle of the fortress square within a few tenths of a second.
As long as your reflexes aren't outrageously slow, even if a Celestial Beast strikes, a few tenths of a second will be enough to get you out of the dead ground.
As for the energy bar, it is a very convenient energy supplement item, just need to turn the switch, you can absorb pure energy from the energy bar, this energy can be quickly converted into all kinds of nutrients, abilities and even spiritual energy required by the human body.
It can be understood as the lowest energy potion, due to its limited energy recovery effect, so its price is relatively cheap, only 10 points of exploration value, you can exchange 1 from the Hop Fortress, each energy bar can replenish 40-50 units of energy, about the energy consumed by the human body for 1 hour of uninterrupted high-intensity exercise.
When this energy is converted to an ability or psychic energy, it is enough to perform 1 attack of normal strength. Although these energies are not much, don't underestimate these energies, the critical moment is likely to be the key to saving lives.
Of course, there are many other ways to quickly restore the body's energy in the wilderness, such as absorbing the crystal nucleus of the heavenly beast or finding some fruits with strange effects, but these are very risky, and it is very likely that a certain fruit that is eaten contains highly toxic or neuroparalytic toxins, once it falls into such a situation, it is basically the end of death.
Therefore, if you want to recover your body's energy safely and quickly, energy bars are the most cost-effective choice, with Ressa's current energy level, only 10 energy bars are needed to recover most of your body's energy and abilities in ten minutes.
Therefore, every time she sets off to the wilderness, Ressa needs to spend 300-400 exploration points, except for 100 to buy Leap Silver, and all other exploration values are basically used to buy energy bars.
This mission was different from the past, and Ressa was well prepared.
A full 500 exploration points were spent, and of the remaining 400 points, 300 points were used to purchase energy bars, and the last 100 points were used to purchase antivenom and neuroactivating reagents, which are rarely purchased.
As their name suggests, the antivenom can remove most of the toxins after injection and become immune to most toxins for the next 24 hours.
The nerve activation reagent is after injection, the drug properties of this reagent will lie dormant in the nerve center in the next 1 day, if there is a nerve paralysis toxin into the body, these reagents will immediately become active, drive the nerve center to operate, so as to relieve the effect of nerve paralysis toxin. These two can be life-saving in certain situations.
Ressa took a light sip of the energy bar, and then gently twisted the body of the bar to turn it off, this energy bar still has two-thirds of the energy in it, he gently inserted the energy bar into a long pocket on his chest, and looked boredly at the screen in the center of the square, which showed 746 people, and it was estimated that it would not be much longer than the number of thousands.
Carefully settling the flip coin into a pocket close to her chest, Resa began to check the energy status of the miniature guide hand armor on her wrist, well, 96%, a little more than expected. As soon as the mind moved, the abilities in the body converged towards the guide hand armor, and the value on the guide hand armor moved slowly, 97% ............ 98%……………… 100% will guide the device after the energy is fully charged.
Ressa looked up at the screen in the center of the square again, the value on it basically didn't move much, it was only 759 people, Resa shook his head, it seems that large nodes have the disadvantages of large nodes, and too many jumping fortresses have also led to an increase in waiting time.
Resa stopped paying attention to the changes in the screen, leaning against a corner with her eyes closed and pretending to sleep. There is no time to relax, so it is better to take this opportunity to recuperate first.
The numbers on the screen jumped very slowly, and more than ten minutes had passed, and it seemed that it would take at least two hours or so to wait until everyone was together, Ressa just closed his eyes, but he didn't fall asleep, although the Leaping Fortress was still under the jurisdiction of the Human Explorer Alliance, but there was no lack of some small actions in the dark, if he really fell asleep, he might be picked up by someone silently.
Although Ressa's eyes were closed at the moment, his abilities were unusually active, and things within a few meters around him could not escape his perception at all.
He could even perceive that on the other side of the low wall behind him, a middle-aged uncle with a scruffy beard was constantly adjusting the guns in his hands, pinning strange metal rods in his breast pockets, and behind him was a half-man-tall single soldier's backpack, which was very full and could isolate the detection of abilities, and there were extremely remarkable things in it.
Judging from his equipment, this should be a mechanic, and the support of high-tech firepower gives this kind of person an overwhelming advantage in the wilderness against low-level earth beasts.
Unfortunately, both live guns and light firearms have their drawbacks while being powerful.
The attack of a live weapon can not care about those earth beasts with an energy shield, excellent penetration is the nemesis of this energy shield, but the trajectory is obvious and the speed is slow, compared to this, the attack speed of the light weapon is very fast, and the trajectory is fluctuating and not easy to dodge, however, the energy shield can cancel out the attack energy of the light weapon, making it extremely weak when attacking the target with the energy shield.
Moreover, if the mechanic encounters the more powerful Earth Beasts and Sky Beasts, the effect of the gun attack will be greatly reduced. However, the existence of mechanics is generally quite wealthy, and if you are willing to spend the capital and spend a lot of money to get powerful lethal machinery and equipment in the Explorer Alliance, it is not impossible to kill the Heavenly Beast.
But the cost, tsk, I can't imagine it!
Wouldn't you have the opportunity to study those things about mechanics yourself? If you have the ability to be a mechanic, you won't be so embarrassed when you were in the frost node before, and you will be able to reach the Explorer Alliance all the way to the Explorer Alliance by arranging a few self-propelled sentry batteries.
Ressa thought to himself, but his family knows his own affairs, with his current exploration value of several thousand, not to mention the self-propelled sentry guard battery, the fixed sentry guard machine gun can't buy a few, those are all ultra-high-end consumables, a fixed sentry machine gun that can cause fatal damage to the ground beast, the maximum ammunition capacity of the built-in drum is 3000 rounds, with its rate of fire of 10 rounds per second, it can only maintain 5 minutes of firepower.
And the price required for this is as much as 1600 exploration values, of course, this built-in drum can be replaced, can be replaced with two types: fixed energy blocks and built-in drums, which can fire light rays and armor-piercing warheads, respectively.
A single fixed energy block requires 300 exploration points, and the energy can support the firing of about 500 light energy rays, and the built-in drum is relatively cheap, only 150 exploration points are required for each, which is simply outrageous.
These ammunition are generally rarely purchased directly from the Explorer Alliance, and they are basically processed and made by themselves, although the effect is certainly not comparable to the standard ammunition provided by the Explorer Alliance, but it is better than the price.
If you want to make money in the wilderness, you need to be a good gunsmith as well as a mechanic, so that they can make the ammo they need.
Moreover, the mechanical equipment that is generally processed by itself does not have an excellent cooling system like the equipment provided by the Explorer Alliance, and it is often necessary to wait for cooling after several consecutive operations.
Thinking of this, Resa couldn't help but scratch her head and smile bitterly, it seems that it is not so easy to become a mechanic!
At this moment, a low siren sounded, and Ressa's spirit shook slightly, because it was just a notice, informing the explorers that the number of people who had reached the target had been reached, and the jumping device was being prepared, and the next thing was the journey to the wilderness, but it was unknown whether it was life or death..................
