Harrison Moore, a famous interstellar freedom explorer, has been keen to dig ruins and pursue the unknown all his life, although his strength is low, but he can always magically turn danger into a disaster, and over the years he has discovered countless historical sites, leaving dozens of books, his spirit of brave exploration (as long as he does not die, he will die) has attracted a large number of followers in the universe, and regards him as a spiritual leader and a street lamp of life.

During the World Tree War phase, Harrison was already old and frail, and was in a state of semi-retirement. The three major civilizations were the one that was discovered, and they were attacked by the World Tree civilization, and they were caught off guard at the beginning and suffered heavy losses. Because they don't know the origin of the enemy, all the civilizations that have explored the universe are basically only beaten in the early stage, and they are completely on the defensive, and can only passively resist a steady stream of invaders, and one planet after another is occupied by the World Tree and used as nourishment.

The three major civilizations have tried their best to collect clues about the World Tree civilization, and the most critical of them is the location of the World Tree itself.

The World Tree itself is a cosmic treasure, and the World Tree civilization has already obtained it in the era of farming and burning, so a distorted civilization form has been formed, and all the development of civilization revolves around the World Tree, and countless people have tried their best to nourish and enhance this cosmic treasure.

Due to the specificity of the World Tree, only by finding its body can we solve the problem at the root, otherwise no matter how many invaders are killed, the World Tree can also use the nutrients of countless planets to transform and nurture more armies.

The main body of the World Tree is rooted in the world of the secondary dimension, hidden deeply, and is invisible and closed like the former Underworld dimension. At that time, the explored universe was basically a soldier, and many volunteer explorers spontaneously organized themselves to search for the secondary dimension, and Harrison also returned and joined them.

Because of a series of coincidences, he was the first to discover the secondary dimension where the world tree itself was located, recorded the dimensional coordinates before sacrifice, and threw it into the space storm of the secondary dimensional world.

This coordinate is like a drifting bottle drifting in the vast sea, ups and downs, and finally luckily fell into the hands of the three major civilizations, so Harrison's deeds have been handed down, and the world knows of his exploits.

These are the images of Harrison in the later versions of his previous life.

In the current era, Harrison is still just a young budding explorer, and his strong curiosity and adventure prompted him to give up the opportunity to inherit the billions of family assets of the consortium and resolutely step into this promising industry.

As a newcomer to the archaeological exploration team, Harrison's instincts were obviously not very convincing, and his teammates present were all capable of thieves...... Ahem, the spirit of getting to the bottom of the matter, unsurprisingly ignored Harrison's warning.

Harrison couldn't help it, and his curiosity overrode his vigilance, so he kept his vague worries to his heart and continued to follow the team.

A scavenger ship hovers 100 meters above through a high-altitude sandstorm and drops a multi-purpose ground-drilling vehicle, its outer armor covered in colorful graffiti, apparently artistically processed by this group of scavengers with limited literacy.

The group boarded the driller, followed the instructions of the detection radar, broke through the ground, and dived all the way down, quickly approaching the underground cavity on the map.

Because this kind of underground ruins have existed for too long, the structure is extremely unstable due to crustal changes, and there is generally a risk of collapse, so scavengers will not directly drill into the passage from the side, and the first choice is to go through the main gate.

Wow!

Soon, the tip of the drill rig finally penetrated the rock formation and entered a cavity. All the team members walked down, turned on their searchlights, and observed their surroundings.

This is an underground cave with traces of artificial excavation, about seven or eight meters high, and at the end of the cave is a closed metal door, which is suspected to be the entrance to this underground ruins.

The short explorer trotted over, took out his instrument and scanned the metal door, muttering, "Well preserved, not much sign of rust, this is a high-strength alloy material, according to the rough detection results, this material synthesis technology is at least galaxy-level starting, but there is no matching material record in the database......"

Hearing this, the more excited everyone became, the higher the level of the lost civilization, the more things in the ruins were eligible to be sold on the black market.

However, this also means that there are more risks to the unknown.

"Is there an energy reaction in there?" The captain asked.

"Let me see...... Well, not at all, I guess the energy here is exhausted, and even if there are traps or defensive measures, they are all paralyzed. ”

"Then let's go in and have a look." The captain instructed, "Be careful, no one is allowed to lift the shield without my order." ”

The group sliced open the gate with a laser, crept inside, groping their way forward, the routes inside were intricate, and the environment looked like a large underground military base.

Harrison walked over to a sign, dusted it off, and had the translator read the text on it, which turned out to be unrecognizable.

"There is no record of this kind of writing in the database, so it is certain that this is a remnant of a civilization that has not been discovered to date." Harrison spoke on the channel.

"Today is such a lucky day, no wonder Ah Xiang finally responded to my daily greetings for months in the morning." The dwarf detective was in high spirits.

"What did she say?" Harrison was curious.

"She said yes."

Harrison: "...... Come on. ”

Everyone chatted and explored, but they found that there was no danger, so they boldly searched one room after another, but only found living facilities, no special equipment, no text documents left, not even energy and network hosts, not even a single defense facility, it seems that this base has long been abandoned, everything has been emptied.

The flame of excitement in everyone's hearts seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water.

"Isn't it, I obviously found an unknown ruin, but I didn't have any valuable gains, did I run in vain?" The short detective wailed.

"It's not in vain, at least we've discovered a new language, an unknown civilization that once existed." Harrison raised the translator in his hand, and he had recorded the text of all the signs he encountered on the road.

"This kind of archaeological results have a purpose, but we are really historians?" Someone couldn't help but complain: "If it weren't for the sake of digging up something valuable, who would want to come to such a ghost place." ”

The scavengers had little integrity, their patience was quickly exhausted, and the search was getting faster and faster, and it wasn't long before only the last room remained, at the heart of the base base.

Everyone cut open the door and walked in, breathing in unison.

I saw a triangular figure about three or four meters high embedded in the recess of the ground in the center of the room, the whole body was pitch black, smooth as a mirror, and it looked a bit like obsidian, but the detection showed that it was a metal material, and on one side there was a bump with a display screen on it.

There was only this thing in the room, nothing else, like an exclusive warehouse.

"Haha, it's finally rewarding."

"What is this?"

Everyone gathered around in surprise, touching here and knocking there, although I don't know what this thing is, but looking at this quality, as long as it is packaged, it will not be sold on the black market.

The short detective came to the display of the triangle and pressed it a few times, but there was no response, he fumbled a few times, and suddenly found a moving board next to the display, and when it was uncovered, there was a socket, which seemed to be used for charging.

"Hmm...... It's the first time I've seen a connector of this shape, but it's fine. The short detective groaned for a moment, took out his instrument and got busy, and quickly transformed a section of energy transmission line that fit the socket.

He was about to charge the triangular device when Harrison, who had been frowning all the time, subconsciously spoke.

"Wait!"

The crowd turned to him.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I ...... I think it's better to be cautious, no one knows what this device does, what if it's a weapon that runs out of energy? ”

Harrison hesitated, and when he saw the triangle, he felt a palpitation for some reason, as if a voice in his heart was warning him that this thing was dangerous, and his innate instinct had never been so strong for a moment.

"Don't worry, I just probed, this is actually a sophisticated disposable safe device, which is destroyed when opened, but the innermost layer is a material that isolates detection, and I don't know what is stored." The short detective didn't look back.

As he spoke, he poked the plug directly into the interface, and entered a faint energy, and the display of the triangular device lit up, and a password input interface popped up.

The captain leaned over and looked at it, "Can the code be deciphered?" ”

The short detective took out another device and tinkered with it for a while, and said firmly: "The password of this safety device changes in real time, and it must be connected to the quantum network and then deciphered with virtual technology...... I don't have the tools I have right now, but I can definitely open them with a decipherment device with a little more computing power. ”

"That's ......"

The captain hesitated for a moment and said, "Then why don't we open it, you also said it, this thing is a one-time thing, if the things stored in it are not valuable, we will lose money, it is better to put this safe directly into the black market auction, let others draw the lottery, anyway, this form is also very common on the black market......"

"Can this kind of thing be discussed later?" Harrison was inexplicably a little restless, "Let's get out of here, I have a bad instinct......"

"When did your instincts get better?"

The captain glared at him, but did not refute his offer, beckoning the group to transport the device to the rig.

There was only this valuable thing in this ruin, and the group left with the triangular device without any nostalgia, all the way back to the ship.

Suddenly, one of the team members said thoughtfully:

"It's really strange, it stands to reason that since there is a relic left by an unknown civilization on this planet, there should be other traces, but the detection result is only this one, which is not very reasonable, could it be that civilization only dug an underground facility on this planet?"

"That's right, I thought it was a little strange just now." Another chimed in.

At this time, the short detective glanced at the radar picture, sighed, and said in surprise: "Captain, the ruins just now actually collapsed!" ”

Everyone hurriedly went over to take a look, and the underground cavity in the picture had been filled in and disappeared without a trace, and there was no way to go back.

"It's weird......"

The captain muttered, shook his head, and ordered: "Forget it, don't care about those for now, mark this planet, let's go to the nearest black market planet first to estimate our harvest today." ”

Hearing this, everyone didn't think too much about it, and they all took action and drove the spaceship away from the planet.

Harrison was the only one standing in front of the porthole, looking at the smaller and smaller planet in his sight, and suddenly felt a chill in his back.

All kinds of signs gave him a feeling, as if the mission of this strange ruin was to store this triangular device.

And the ruins collapsed as soon as they left, as if they had been silently waiting for outsiders to take it......

Harrison couldn't help but glance back.

In his line of sight, the triangular device lay quietly in the back compartment, like a Pandora's box waiting to be opened.

……

The opening ceremony of the Black Star Cup was held perfectly, and the qualifiers were in full swing on the second day, and the legion became very lively, with hundreds of millions of members active on the field, which also drove the enthusiasm of the audience throughout the universe.

Because of the large number of events, each media provides live broadcast and video replay functions around the clock, and the audience can freely adjust the lens and choose to watch any event, arena, and player.

The ratings of the Black Star Cup in the universe are maintained at a very high level, and at present, the average viewership of each region is second only to the news broadcasts of the three major civilizations or local civilizations.

The organization department of the Black Star Cup, which was formed more than two months ago, counted the projects with the highest ratings, in addition to the various combat events in the three groups of B-level, A-level, and the Immortal, followed by entertainment events, especially talent shows, singing and dancing talk shows, and countless interstellar citizens are happy to watch those superpowers that are rarely seen on weekdays show their alternative talents on the screen.

There are even many talented contestants who have attracted a large number of admirers, and there are even viewers on the Internet who are arguing about the merits of each contestant...... It turns out that no matter what era it is, the pattern of the draft is always topical.

And the project with the lowest ratings is not what Han Xiao expected, it is really those technical competitions, such as the bunch of mechanical maintenance, mechanical modification, and drawing competitions that Renard applied for......

There are still very few people who are willing to see technical home exercise machinery.

However, Han Xiao didn't care, those technical projects were regarded as pure selections, exploring potential stocks in various fields for the legion and replenishing fresh blood.

The promotion channel of the legion has always been relatively clear, the rank is linked to the position, and meritorious service is also OK, and the qualification can also be boiled, and the Black Star Cup is equivalent to providing another shortcut to ascent, there are capable people at the same level, and the legion members are so enthusiastic, it is also because this model allows many people to see more opportunities and inject new vitality into the legion.

Although players have their own groupings, most of them are more keen to participate in the normal groupings and run over to play happily with NPCs.

As the Evolution Badge became a hit in the lower-tier combat events, more and more players began to purchase the item, and sales skyrocketed in a short period of time.

Using the Evolution Badge in events below Tier B, players can gain a huge advantage, but it's not a guaranteed win. The aberrant has strong melee combat, obvious weaknesses, plummeting magic and psychic resistance, and short hands, making it extremely easy to be kited, while also continuously bleeding.

Against some telekinesis, magicians, and occasionally distorted players are pressed to the ground and rubbed repeatedly.

In the B-rank group, the role of the Evolution Badge is not so strong, and the B-class superpower has the strength to fight the extreme aberration head-on.

Tournaments are in full swing here, and compared to the excitement of the legions, the camp of the other players in the Shining World is much more deserted.

Players from all over the world watched with red eyes, biting handkerchiefs, and watching nearly 10 million legion players play with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Not to mention participating, we are not even qualified to bet!

The "herd" is divided into five "people", and most of them have this mentality, and this effect is more obvious in the player group that chases excitement and fun.

Everyone is having such a good time, how can you do it without adding me!

Compared with the faction war incident more than half a year ago, there are more ordinary players from all countries who have been shaken by the Blackstar Cup League.

Even the Infinite Consortium has been dug up a large number of people, but Sorokin is now very low-key, saying that he doesn't matter.

The most painful thing is that the foreign clubs of other camps, obviously did nothing this time, but they had to watch the loss of ordinary players again, and they couldn't even find a reason to stay, they just felt like crying without tears.

What a whole thing, I don't take you like this!

Do you have to force us to join the party!

Blackstar Legion! You deceive people too much!

The clay people have three points of anger, you have a kind of force on me again!

Push me again, and I'll really join you!
