Chapter 173: The Player's Quest

"Gin!"

After Gray Yuan repeated the name, his face suddenly turned cold.

After a moment, she looked at Conan and said coldly, "Where is he?" ”

"I don't know!"

Conan shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's not that you don't know, that guy Jiuqin has a mysterious whereabouts, and he has always been alone. It was already very difficult for me to find out that he was entering this dungeon, how could I possibly know that he was hiding there?

The only thing that is certain now is that there must be something in this copy that he cares about, and what we have to do is stop him in time when he shows up. If it's possible, just kill him! ”

Hearing Conan say this, Gray Yuan's expression gradually softened.

Suddenly, Gray Yuan seemed to think of something, and said with a strange face: "I don't know why, I always feel that this copy is a little weird!" ”

Hearing this, Conan's eyes froze, and the smile on his face gradually converged: "What do you mean?" ”

"The dungeon mode and the geographical environment have an indescribable weirdness!"

Gray Yuan frowned and looked around, and said in a low voice, "Based on past experience, competitive dungeons have never chosen to be conducted in outer space. Because this kind of dungeon never restricts the use of skills and items, if the location is set in outer space, it will limit the strength of the player in the summon stream and transformation stream in disguise.

Not to mention anything else, even if you are here, your strength can only be less than forty percent! ”

"Anything else?"

Conan pondered for a moment, then asked in a whisper.

Gray Yuan nodded: "Of course there is, don't forget, the environment we are in now is an unknown planet, and since the system has set the mission location here, there must be some special reason."

One of the biggest possibilities is that there is some unknown life here, and these lives are the biggest obstacle for us next!

But...... If my reasoning is correct, it doesn't make sense. ”

"First of all, the inclusion of quest gatekeepers in competing quests has never been done before.

Secondly, if there really is an alien lifeform in the copy, why hasn't it appeared until now? ”

When Gray Plains was all done, Conan laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

Gray Yuan looked at Conan and said dissatisfied.

"Laughing at what? Laughing at you, of course! ”

Conan pursed his lips and whispered, "First of all, who told you that this is a competitive copy?" ”

Gray Yuan frowned and said, "It's obviously ...... here."

Before Gray Yuan could finish speaking, Conan waved his hand and interrupted her: "I know what you want to say, what you want to say is that all the members of this dungeon are players, and there are no Awakened Ones.

And the system divides the players into three camps, and carries out work such as occupying points and mining, which is obviously the mode of competitive copies for resources, right? ”

Gray Yuan looked at Conan suspiciously, and although he didn't understand what he meant, he nodded his head and expressed his thoughts.

"But...... It's all what you think, and the system never explicitly states that this copy is a resource-competitive copy! ”

Conan pointed to the barrier beside him, "Besides, now we can only be sure that there are no awakened people and alien life in the area where we operate.

But what about on the other side of the barrier? We don't know anything about the situation over there, so maybe there are a lot of Awakened and Formal Beings waiting for us right now! ”

Just as Gray Yuan was about to say something, a prompt suddenly came to her ear.

At the same time, several system prompts were sent to her personal system!

"System Prompt: The Iron War is over, Red: 5210 points, Yellow: 4258 points, Blue side: 4823 points, and Red wins.

Rewards all RED members with a 1-level upgrade to their protective suits, a 30% increase in Strong Acid Resistance, a 10% decrease in Physical Damage taken, and a 10% increase in Movement Speed. ”

"System prompt: The second stage of the mission is unlocked, and the shielded area will be opened after ten minutes, countdown: 00:09:58."

"System Prompt: Phase 2 Mission Background Overview: The Nostromo commercial drayage returned to Earth from the planet Cedus with a crew of 7 and 20 million tons of ore, and the spacecraft received a mysterious signal while passing through an asteroid, and the spacecraft computer immediately woke up the dormant crew.

......

……”

"Tip 1: The alliance permission is turned on, allowing teams and teams, teams and individuals to use it.

Once the two sides have reached an alliance, all members of the alliance will form a temporary faction.

Those in the same faction are not allowed to attack each other, and the alliance channel will replace the original team channel and communicate.

Note: Once the two parties have reached an alliance, the alliance cannot be canceled until the end of this quest.

Tip 2: This dungeon is in hunting mode, kill ordinary alien ×1, the killer can get 500 points, and all the allied allies of the killer will be rewarded with 50 points each.

Kill the Awakened Alien ×1, the killer will receive 1000 points, and all the allies of the Killer will be awarded 100 points each.

Kill the player Alien ×1, the killer will receive 2000 points, and all the allies of the killer will be awarded 200 points each.

Kill Iron Alien ×1, the killer will receive 4,000 points, and all allies of the killer will receive 400 points each.

Kill the Alien Queen ×1, the killer will receive 4000 points, and all the allies of the killer will receive 400 points each.

Note: For every member of the alliance who dies in battle, 1,000 points will be deducted for each member of the alliance. After the end of the dungeon, those who have negative points will be punished by the system!

Tip 3: This dungeon lasts for 156 hours, and after the dungeon ends, a special exchange channel will be opened, which can be exchanged for limited special items with the points obtained by the individual! ”

Seeing this, the two of them suddenly at the same time, and Gray Yuan muttered even more: "No wonder that guy came in here, it turned out to be the idea of playing special props."

But if that's the case, it's much harder for us to sabotage his operations. ”

Hearing this, Conan on the side pouted: "Leave that guy alone, let's think about our own situation first!" ”

"What do you mean?"

Gray Yuan frowned: "It's just some alien creatures, just kill it, what situation do you need to consider?" ”

"If only it were that simple."

Conan shook his head and said helplessly: "Take a good look at the mission background overview, this space creature relies on parasitism in the human body to complete hatching.

According to the alien types and rewards mentioned in the reward rules, it can be roughly inferred that depending on the host, the strength of these space creatures after hatching will also be different. ”

"We can make a hypothesis......

It is assumed that these space creatures can gain some of the abilities of their hosts after parasitic human bodies, so they are divided into Awakened, Player, and Iron Will......

If the assumption is true, then it means that the strength of the awakened alien is greater than that of the parasitic awakened, the strength of the player alien is greater than that of the parasitic player, and the strength of the iron-blooded alien is greater than that of the parasitic iron-blooded battle winner. ”

Speaking of this, Conan paused: "Don't forget, because there is no oxygen in the atmosphere here, we have to wear these protective suits to survive here, so many skills will be greatly discounted."

Even I can only exert less than 40% of my strength here.

But for the aliens, this is not the case, because they are creatures on this planet in the first place. If they gain strength above the player, even if the player's strength is only the lowest among us, it is enough for it to have the power to threaten us.

Don't forget, we've just gone through a 'knockout match', so how bad will the players who can be retained? ”

Hearing this, Gray Yuan's face instantly became gloomy: "Then you say, what should we do?" ”

"What else can I do?"

Conan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "We can only temporarily give up the action against Gin, and first observe the situation and make plans!" ”

Hearing Conan's words, Gray Yuan clenched his fists tightly, and even the joints turned a little white.

Conan looked at Gray Yuan and comforted: "I know you are very unwilling, but there is no way to do it, who would have thought that the system would actually issue such a task."

And...... We are not completely without opportunities, and since these aliens can pose a threat to us, they can naturally also pose a threat to Gin.

We wouldn't mind if we found out about him, but it had to be for our own safety, you know? ”

Gray Yuan exhaled deeply and said in a low voice: "You don't have to worry, I know it in my heart!" ”

After saying that, Gray Yuan looked around, and saw that the players nearby were all gathered in groups of three or five, as if they were discussing something.

Seeing this scene, Gray Yuan's heart moved, and he asked Conan, "Shall we also form an alliance?" ”

Conan thought for a moment and slowly shook his head: "I don't recommend this.

You know, you and I both decided to participate in this dungeon on an ad hoc basis, and we are not familiar with these players, and we don't know their true strength, if we rush to form a team now......

If one of them is killed, we will also be deducted points, so I think we should go it alone. ”

Hearing this, Gray Yuan nodded slightly: "Then what should we do next?" ”

"Enter the shielded area and look for the Awakened who survived."

"Looking for the Awoken? Are you trying to ......?"

"That's right, we're going to gather intelligence.

Judging by the dungeon's background overview, it's clear that these backgrounds are the epitome of a horror movie in this world. Compared to our confusion, those who awaken must know some important information......

Like what...... Alien abilities, habits, and weaknesses! ”

As soon as Conan's words fell, the familiar chime came back to mind.

"System prompt: The countdown is over, open the closed area, please enter the core area of the dungeon as soon as possible!"

Before Conan could speak, the players next to the two were already rushing towards the "Nostromo".

Conan and the two looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and followed......

......

At the same time, the laboratory on the second floor of the "Nostromo"!

A man and a woman were looking through the protective door of the laboratory, and asked loudly to the silent and others who suddenly appeared, "Who are you?" Why is it here? ”

Through the badges on the chests of the two, Buyu and the others already knew the identities of the two.

The man's name is Brett, and he is the engineer of the ship. And the female is Warrant Officer Ripley, that is, the key protection object that Bu Yu and others are looking for.

Seeing the panic and distrust shown by the two, Guoguo shook his head helplessly, took out a universal badge and brought it to his chest, and said in a deep voice: "We are a special team sent by the company to perform missions on the planet Cedus.

While passing through the planet, the spaceship suddenly malfunctioned and crashed here.

We survived, and when we searched the area, we found the company logo on the ship, so we came in to check on it! ”

Hearing this, Ripley seemed to have figured out something, and hurriedly opened the protective door to let everyone in, and at the same time shouted loudly: "You have all been deceived, your spaceship did not suddenly malfunction at all, but was made in advance, the purpose is to let you stay here!"

Otherwise, the ship would not have crashed, and you would all have survived unscathed. ”

After hearing Ripley's words, everyone was stunned at first.

Bu Si immediately reflected it, and hurriedly reminded Guoguo in his ear: "As mentioned in the background summary, the original purpose of their group was to obtain aliens, but the upper echelons of the company concealed this instruction from you.

So it's very likely that they thought we were like that, and they came here. ”

Guoguo nodded slightly, indicating understanding, and then pretended to look at Ripley with a shocked expression, and asked, "What do you mean by that?" Who is it that harms us? What do you know? ”

Ripley immediately showed a look of resentment, and shouted: "That group of bastards of the company is not for us to go to the planet of Cedus to transport ore at all, but for us to bring that terrifying creature back to Earth for biological research!" ”

"What do you mean? Be clear! ”

Gogo waved his hand, motioning for the person behind him to close the protective door, and then asked Ripley.

Ripley took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and said slowly, "Originally, we were assigned by the company to transport ore to the planet Saidus. But when passing through this planet, I unexpectedly received some strange signal.

And at the moment of receiving the signal, our spacecraft suddenly malfunctioned, and there was no way but we could only make a forced landing here. ”

"Just when Brett and the others were repairing the ship, Kane and I went to look for the mysterious signal, they were suddenly attacked."

At this, a look of horror appeared on Ripley's face: "This is a terrifying creature that parasitizes its own larvae into humans.

When the larvae mature, they will burst out of their chests and will quickly grow into a terrifying monster of about three meters in an hour or two, killing us!

This monster has a hard shell on its surface, and only a firearm can barely damage it. And their blood is so acidic that even if we could shoot them, their blood would cause irreparable damage to the hull......"
