Chapter Seventy-Five: Acquisition of Equipment
"How the hell is this done?"
Qi Lin tried to swing his fist a few times, and the sound of the fist wind breaking through the air immediately sounded - whether it was strength or speed, although it was not as terrifying as in the game, it was much stronger than Qi Lin's previous state in reality.
Lowering his fist, Qi Lin gently stroked the metal lid of the game pod—if this kind of low-cost, mass-produced game pod could promote human evolution......
There's no need to go to the ground to find rare mutant serums, you don't have to experiment with living people repeatedly in cold labs, and you don't have to face the failed results of fusing mutant serums...... Wait until five years later......
Qi Lin didn't dare to think about it anymore, this thought was a little too crazy, there are two sides to everything, and it was a good thing to let everyone have a chance to become an evolutionary, but it was just ......
There is an iron law in nature that the higher the creatures, the fewer they will be - because each individual needs to occupy more resources, just like the food chain pyramid, the top of the pyramid occupies the smallest area, and the bottom area is much larger than the top.
Why did war break out in the old times?
The answer is that the earth can no longer afford the pressure of an overpopulation, and the only way to alleviate this pressure is a world-class all-out war.
War will reduce a large number of people, and the reduction of population will directly reduce the amount of resources required by human society to a level that can be maintained.
Just like on a grassland, if the rabbits are flooded, there will be a shortage of food, famine, fighting, and epidemics will follow, and when all the rabbits that exceed the maximum number of rabbits that the grassland can support are all dead, the ecology on the grassland will slowly return to its original balance.
Human beings once thought that they had jumped out of the constraints of nature, but this iron law of nature still strangled human necks, and even once forced human beings to the brink of extinction.
The history of mankind is the history of war, and war is the wheel that drives human progress, and throughout the history of mankind, we have been in wars of all sizes, large and small, almost all the time - but before the advent of nuclear weapons, human wars did not have such a great impact on the earth's surface.
A nuclear war would force mankind to abandon the world on the ground...... And when the humans return to the surface......
Between the evolutionaries, there will inevitably be wars with more brutal means, more widespread effects, and greater destruction!
Compared to the original humans, the evolutionary can be regarded as a higher "creature" - a hundred monkeys can live together in a forest, but one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
As a powerful evolutionary, the desire for power is endless, and in the process of pursuing power, a large number of resources are necessary, Qi Lin can already foresee what the battlefield where countless evolutionaries rush forward one after another to fight with the enemy will be like, compared to this, the war in the old era can only be called a child's fight......
Qi Lin sighed, sat down, and threw two cans on top of the stove - if this was to happen, all he could do was become stronger and live.
Saving mankind and saving the world, that is the work of great men and heroes, Qi Lin thinks that he is not a hero, as long as he can save himself.
Since the game pod can promote the evolution of the human body in reality, it must have something to do with the strength in the game, the night vision ability comes from the Ghost Falcon, and the rapid recovery comes from the Corpse King, that is, as long as you get new abilities in the game, then there is a certain chance of projecting it on the body in reality.
And in "Wasteland", if you want to become stronger, there are two most common ways - hunting and exploration.
Hunting can earn resource points and serums, both of which can be converted into hard power for players.
The meaning of exploration is broader, with hidden quests, wasteland treasures, secret adventures, etc...... Expeditions require more luck than the energy and strength required for hunting.
Qi Lin now has three exploration clues at hand, namely: the hidden mission of the Transformer Experimental Base in the Northwest Region, the origin of the [incomplete activation core], and the map and gray card of the Li Family Castle.
The task of transforming the human base was too far out of reach for Qi Lin, and the activation core was even more clueless, and the only thing that could be started now seemed to be the Li Family Castle located in the ruins of Xuzhou City.
"That gray card...... What is it locking up? ”
……
One of the benefits of the body transformation is that although Qi Lin has been immersed in the virtual wasteland world for many days, except for the discomfort when he first woke up, his body quickly recovered.
After leaving a note, Qi Lin once again lay down in the game pod.
Exploring the "Li Family Castle" will be his main goal at present.
What could be so valued by the group of "hunters" and the men in black would be worth at least no less than an E-grade serum, or even much higher......
Landing in the wasteland world, Qi Lin quickly returned to Thunder City, but when he returned to Thunder City, he encountered a small episode that made him cry and laugh.
The guards of Thunder City have all been replaced by NPCs hired from the mastermind, and they didn't cause any sensation when they entered the city, but when he just walked into the crowded business area, he was immediately recognized by a few sharp-eyed players.
It's okay not to recognize it, as soon as he recognized it, Qi Lin was surrounded by a large group of players almost instantly-
"Great God! Great God! I am the leader of the Glory Hunting Troupe, and our Hunting Regiment lacks a position as a deputy leader...... No, no, no, we are missing a place for the head of the regiment, if you want to ......"
"What? 9527? Live 9527? Appeared? Where is it?! ”
"! It's really 9527! Don't stop me, I'm going to hack him to death, Lao Tzu bet 5,000 points on the Red Dragon Type 6! ”
"9527 Great God! The little girl is your admirer, and your shot is so handsome! Everyone's hearts were shot...... Well, do you have a girlfriend? Oh, and if there is, wouldn't mind having another one...... The little woman has a comprehensive technique and a rich posture ......"
“9527! 9527! I'm a reporter from the Wasteland Thunder Daily, we've been looking for you for a long time, I hope you can be interviewed by us, it only takes a few minutes......"
In addition to all kinds of onlookers, there were even many "groping pig hands" who touched Qi Lin's body, and there was even a player who was left with a pair of pants because he lost because of gambling and was carrying a brick to come and fight Qi Lin......
"Brother Pants" was quickly dragged down by the NPC soldiers who maintained order, and Qi Lin also took this opportunity to forcibly squeeze out of the crowd with a brute force of up to 19 points and got into a small trading house.
Stepping into the trading house, Qi Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced back at the chaotic crowd, as if the players hadn't noticed that Qi Lin had sneaked away, and was still huddled together on the street.
"What services do you need?"
A sweet female voice sounded behind him, and Qi Lin looked back and saw a tall and dignified hostess standing behind him, smiling and looking at him.
Qi Lin looked the hostess up and down, and saw that the other party was wearing a well-fitting black vest and white shirt on his upper body, a wolf skin belt of a two-headed wolf was tied around his waist, and a small pistol was inserted on the belt, and the lower body was a pair of clean canvas breeches, the trouser legs were neatly tucked into high leather boots, and the long black hair was tied up in a high ponytail at the back of his head.
"Not an NPC ......?" Qi Lin was stunned, generally the guys and entertainers of big business houses will hire NPCs to the system, and NPC employees will not be lazy and will not make mistakes, although the price is more expensive than hiring players - however, Qi Lin feels that if he wants to hire the woman in front of him, the price may not be cheaper than NPC.
The woman chuckled lightly, then resumed her dignified and polite smile, and said in a voice: "Hello, I am Persephone, the manager of the Thunder City Commercial Bank of the Lexing Star Shield Foundation, how can I help you?" ”
Lexing Star Shield Consortium? Isn't this the consortium that sold the slave girl named "Angelina" at auction in the first place? I didn't expect that the business house I casually entered was opened by the Lexing Star Shield Consortium.
"Uh...... I need, buy a little weapon. Qi Lin said.
After having 1.7 million resource points, Qi Lin couldn't look down on those ordinary weapons captured from the man in black, and this time, he had to exchange shotguns for guns.
"It's really an honor for our firm that the winner of the Wasteland Survival Grand Prix came to us to buy weapons." Persephone laughed.
"You know me?"
"I'm afraid there is no one in Thunder City who doesn't know you now!"
"Hehe......" Qi Lin laughed dryly, if he could, he would rather everyone not know him.
While chatting with Qi Lin, Persephone led Qi Lin to a warehouse guarded by several NPC guards behind the trading house, and as she ripped off a huge oil cloth, two rows of racks full of various dazzling weapons appeared in front of Qi Lin.
"This is all the blue to purple quality weapons that we have in our firm, and the corresponding ammunition of various models is sufficient, please choose as you like."
