"Other systems don't send rewards directly 'ding!' Is it in the account? Why do you need to activate this? Han Fei asked angrily.

"The host can go outside the signal zone and absorb psionic energy to activate the ability bloodline!"

So there is the opening scene.

After lying in the quagmire for another half an hour, after the group of mutant wolves walked away, Han Fei quickly stood up, didn't care about cleaning up the mud all over his body, hurriedly ran towards the signal area, took the time to check the system panel, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out:

[Star Pupil]: 3.4%. (Absorb more psionic energy to activate bloodline)

Throughout the way back to the city, Han Fei communicated with the system in an elegant and easy-going manner, but the system turned a deaf ear and continued to be a turtle with a shrunken head. Han Fei is also very helpless, other people's systems are all kinds of crazy and cool bully, but what he got was a fake and shoddy product that was withdrawn from the group, and he just had a lemon in his heart.

Forget it, just act as if nothing happened.

Back in the dormitory, Han Fei took the time to go out and feed the stray animals, and began to wander in the ocean of knowledge.

In the evening, Han Fei, who was watching a short video, suddenly received a call from Han Bing. said that he was on vacation at the end of the year, and invited Han Fei to his side for the holiday together. Han Fei hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

Speaking of which, the two of them haven't seen each other for almost a year, Han Bing finished his service in the Pioneer Corps, and because of his good performance, he directly changed his volunteer, and now he has been promoted to second lieutenant.

In the afternoon, Han Bing followed the navigation and drove to Han Fei's downstairs.

On the co-pilot sat a woman with short hair and ears, with delicate facial features, and a faint scar on her face from her left ear to her chin, which added a bit of heroism.

Han Fei got into the car, and Han Bing introduced:

"This is Zhong Jing, your sister-in-law, after a while, when the things in the group are over, we will come back and get married!"

"Hello sister-in-law!" Han Fei greeted him with a slight restraint.

"Hello, I often hear Han Bing mention you." Zhong Jing replied with a smile.

"Let's go to the welfare home to visit Han's mother first, and then go to my place for dinner." Han's mother is the director of the welfare home.

When I arrived at the gate of the welfare home, I applied for a visit, but I was told that Han's mother had retired and was no longer living in the welfare home. The three had no choice but to drive away.

In the evening, Han Bing personally cooked, and the first, first, second, and second quarters of the dormitory area had kitchens, and they threatened to show Han Fei the good things from nature. Zhong Jing poured a glass of water for Han Fei and went to the kitchen to help, and there were bursts of laughter in the kitchen from time to time, and suddenly the whole house was full of sour smell. Han Fei had to keep scrolling through the information on the Internet, not listening to it.

Half an hour later, Han Bing served a large plate of food, took out a bottle of wine, and poured it for the three of them.

The good thing that Han Bing said was the plate of meat that was boiled slimy, which looked very dark. The taste is not bad, it is just a little richer than the taste of synthetic food, Han Fei felt for the first time that maybe Boss Liang Qian's cuisine was still a little reasonable......

While drinking and chatting, most of the time it was Han Bing talking, Zhong Jing occasionally echoed a few words on the side, Han Fei just replied, although the two had a close relationship, they didn't have much in common. Han Bing said more about things when he was on a mission, and Han Fei only then knew that the Pioneer Corps was actually subdivided into many arms, such as some were specially stationed on the main lines of various cities to ensure smooth traffic and signals, some were stationed at various resource points, and some were responsible for exploring unknown wilderness and so on.

The Han soldiers were stationed between Huicheng and Cha'an City, and the two cities were 500 kilometers apart. Cha'an City is the fourth first-class city of mankind. So far, mankind has established a total of four first-class cities: Cha'an City is located in the southwest of the Southern Continent, Huicheng is in the southwest of Cha'an, built because of the Daji mine, and further west, there is a wilderness that humans have not been able to explore, which is already the border of human power. More than 1,000 kilometers north of Cha'an City, crossing the Yuanjiang River that divides the north and south continents, the northern city is located on a loess plateau, moving along the Yuanjiang River to reach the estuary, and the East China Sea City stands near the sea. In the triangular center surrounded by these three first-class cities, Hangang City was built across the river, spanning the narrowest part of the entire source river, and is an important hub connecting the north and south continents.

The four first-class cities with Hangang City as the origin are like four nails rooted in the continent of human civilization in the new era, and nine second-level and seventeen third-level cities are linked to each other, constantly exploring the unknown wilderness and lighting up the map of human civilization.

"This continent was once full of our human footprints, even if it was ravaged by natural disasters, it was not able to wipe out human civilization, and one day, we will conquer this continent again!" With the strength of the wine, Han Bing said enthusiastically.

........

It was already past ten o'clock when Han Fei got home, and he was a little dizzy because he drank some wine, so he didn't plan to read. When I opened the panel of the system, I actually found that the task reward, the bloodline ability [Star Pupil], had actually changed.

[Star Pupil]: 11%. (Absorb more psionic energy to activate bloodline)

"System, what's going on? Is there psychic energy in the signal area? ”

"The flesh of mutated creatures contains a certain amount of psionic energy." The system answers.

"Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

"The host is too weak, and the chance of being able to hunt mutated creatures alone is infinitely close to zero!"

“........”

"System? I have a question. ”

“......... Host, please. ”

"Do you think you deserve the title of [Becoming Stronger System]? It's been two days, why haven't I gotten stronger at all? ”

Han Fei asked with a frown.

The system was silent for a long time, and then replied:

"Okay, I've got a showdown, I'm not pretending. I'm not the omnipotent system you say, I'm just an artificial intelligence. Disguise yourself as a system just to better guide your path. ”

"Guide me? What road? Han Fei asked curiously.

"Actually, I don't know, my core data hasn't been unlocked yet. However, times are about to change, Han Fei. A catastrophe is coming. ”

"What kind of catastrophe?"

Han Fei asked nervously, but the system no longer replied.

Han Fei was digesting the news he had just gotten, and at this moment, he received a call application from his boss Liang Xi, and before he could speak, Liang Qian hurriedly spoke:

"Han Fei, I don't want to come back for a while because I have something to do outside, you help me take care of Da Kui, and the authority of the store is transferred to you."

"Good boss!" Before Han Fei finished speaking, Liang Qian hurriedly hung up the phone.

Linked to the information revealed by the system, Han Fei had a faint ominous premonition in his heart. I couldn't get into the study state all night, so I could only watch some short videos to calm down.

The hands quietly crossed twelve o'clock, and the new year came.

January 1, 2999.

7 a.m.

Han Fei woke up and received a message from Han Bing, saying that the troops had come to a temporary mission, the holiday was canceled, and they would gather again next time they met. On the way, I always felt an inexplicable throbbing in my heart, and the ominous premonition in my heart was flooded again.

When he came to the store, Da Kui was lying on the bar and playing the role of a beckoning cat, glancing at Han Fei. After pouring cat food and water for Da Kui, Han Fei suddenly remembered the meat of the mutated creature, and with an idea, he walked to the back kitchen and opened the freezer!

"Dragon Eagle Egg, Psionic Concentration, Medium."

"Wild boar, psionic concentration, extremely low."

"The ribs of the ground crocodile, the concentration of psionic energy, high!"

..........

Looking at the food in front of him, Han Fei had to admit that he had a bold idea. The mind struggled for a long time, but in the end, curiosity prevailed over reason.

"I'll only eat one piece, should be fine, right? It's a big deal, and ...... will be deducted from your salary when the time comes."

After grinding for a long time, he finally stretched out his evil hands to the piece.......

"Alpaca meat, psionic concentration, extremely high!"

......

Cook! Burn the oil! Fry!

Ingredients with high psionic concentrations often require only the simplest way of cooking.

.......

Without much hesitation, Han Fei took a few gulps and ate the one-pound alpaca meat, then opened the system panel and stared at the progress bar.

Da Aoi next to him glanced at him in disgust, got up and jumped away.

“.......... 23%........... 29%”

"That's it?"

Quietly grabbed Da Kui and stroked it a few times, Han Fei calculated how much more he needed to eat to activate the [Star Pupil], it was simply too dangerous outside the signal area, and it was not suitable for him, a weak ordinary resident.

Suddenly, Han Fei received a message from the master of Huicheng:

"Urgent mission: ask Han Fei, a Level I base station maintenance personnel, to immediately go to the SW-C-12 area to deal with the base station failure."

Seeing the urgent task, Han Fei didn't dare to delay, closed the door, got into the automatic traffic car, and drove towards the south gate.

Coming to the south gate, Han Fei rode his beloved motorcycle, drove to the mission site, drove 10 kilometers to the southwest, got off the car and walked for more than ten minutes, and finally came to the mission site. It's a low, mountainous area, and the tall trees have been cut down, leaving only stumps, which look like tombstones from old records. The above-ground part of the signal base station is two meters high, rectangular, standing on the ground, and the whole body is white. The terrain is generally flat, with each base station spaced one kilometer apart. In layman's terms, outside the signal coverage of the base station, it is shrouded in the fog of war.

According to the guide, Han Fei found the faulty base station, frowned, and found that things didn't seem to be so simple. The ground part of the entire base station is two meters, but the part buried in the ground is also more than one meter, and the surrounding area has been reinforced, and the pile in front of me has been broken ten centimeters from the ground, and the fracture is torn, and the upper part flies out for more than ten meters, and the middle line is torn to the ground.

This has to be the effect of a high-speed impact.

If you can't fix it, just replace it with a new one!

This base station does not affect the entire signal network, and it is not in a hurry. Han Fei filled out the mission log and prepared to return to the city.

As soon as he walked to the range of signal coverage, he received several of the same tasks, those that could be repaired, and those that could not be repaired were marked and ready to be replaced, and when Han Fei uploaded all the task logs, it was already dark when he returned to the city.

In the next few days, Han Fei kept receiving urgent tasks to repair the base station, which was more than he usually needed to repair in two months, and he slowly realized that something was wrong.

It wasn't until the fourth day that the task he received changed:

"Recruitment: Level I base station maintenance personnel Han Fei, please arrive at the south gate before 9 o'clock and follow the action of Team 27."

Not daring to delay, Han Fei hurried to the south gate, and followed the guidance to find the captain of the 27th squad to report. Seeing that it was a young man from a year ago, the captain of the 27th squad frowned and asked suspiciously:

"You are Han Fei? Or an intern? Can you install the base station independently? ”

"Forehead ......"

"Forget it, it's too late to change people now!"

The captain counted the number of people and said:

"It's all here, let's go, I'll talk about it in detail on the way!"

Han Fei noticed that there were many squads assembled at the South Gate at this time, and at a glance, there were more than ten squads, which were also preparing to go.

The 27 squad consisted of 10 people, boarding two jeeps and one engineering vehicle. The captain's name is Jiang Ya, and he looks at the logo and belongs to the Pioneer Corps, Han Fei glanced at it, except for himself and a member of a Level II scientific research institute, the others belong to the Pioneer Corps.

At this time, Jiang Ya said:

"I have already sent the mission statement to you, and there will be a while before you reach the destination, so please take a look."

Han Fei hurriedly looked at the task log:

"Go to the target (coordinates) area, clear the signal fault, and rebuild the signal network.

Note: There are unknown creatures in this area, please pay attention to the safety of all teams. ”

Waiting for a few people to look up, Jiang Ya continued:

"In recent days, the signal base stations around Huicheng have begun to be damaged in a large area, especially in the area connected to the Daji mine, there are monitoring records, it seems to be some kind of large creature, and our task is to rebuild the signal network."

Located in the west of Huicheng, about 30 kilometers away in a straight line, Daji Mine is one of the three major limestone mines of mankind. Huicheng is also known as the energy city of the southern continent.

Then he pointed at Han Fei and continued:

"This is Han Fei, and he is still an intern. When the time comes, everyone can help, and we will close the team as soon as we complete the task early. ”

Hearing this, all the team members laughed and drove the car, Han Fei just listened quietly and didn't dare to interject.

......

The destination is 10 kilometers southeast of the Daji mine, and at this time it has entered the no-signal area, but there is a mobile signal base station on each vehicle to ensure normal communication.

The construction truck was parked on a piece of high ground, surrounded by only sparse bushes, and the view was good. Jiang Ya took the team members to scatter in groups to reconnoiter the terrain, and there were only three people left at the scene, one was named Qin Tian, who looked twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a resolute face, wearing a combat uniform and patrolling with a rifle, the personnel of the Level II scientific research institute was called Zhang Anning, and he didn't know what he was calculating. Qin Tian enthusiastically helped Han Fei move a few pieces of equipment from the engineering truck and prepare for work.

An hour later, a message came from the team's channel:

"The five base stations in the east are all destroyed, there should be no need to repair them, I will pass on the specific situation later, you judge for yourself."

"The three on the west are too."

"Roger!"

Han Fei looked at the information sent from both sides, and there was indeed no need for maintenance. Turn on the general substance printer, add raw materials, set up the printing blueprint, and start printing each part of the signal base station.

It's worth mentioning that this general-purpose model of engineering printer is easy to obtain, but the blueprints stored inside require separate permissions. If you have permission, you can even use it to make guns or general-purpose bullets.

Han Fei is no stranger to this printer, and many parts of his motorcycle with mechanical structure are processed and modified by himself.

After all the parts were printed, Captain Jiang Ya also led the team back. Han Fei noticed that his face was slightly solemn. Seeing that Han Fei skillfully assembled the base station and recalculated the location of the base station, it seemed that the basic skills were very solid, and the progress of the task would not be affected by personal reasons, and his face was a little pale.

After more than five hours, after debugging the last place, confirming that the work is working normally, and uploading the task log, everyone gathers and drives to the next location. This batch of newly installed base stations is also equipped with monitoring modules, and if they are destroyed again, they can also get information about visitors.

The three cars roared through the wilderness, and the mutant animals were vigilant to avoid the unwarranted disaster.

When I arrived at the new mission location, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and in the Southern Continent at this time, the sun would set at six o'clock in the afternoon, and it would be completely dark at seven o'clock, it seemed that I was going to camp tonight, Han Fei couldn't help but be a little worried about Da Kui, I don't know if Liang Qian can go back tonight, it should be no problem if she is hungry all night, right? That cat is so fat......
