Chapter 413: The Secret of the Ruins
Chenping didn't expect that the private house he was in was actually the entrance and exit of the underground ruins, and when he followed the gray-robed old man through a long dark tunnel, he came to a brightly lit underground city. Although the city is a bit dilapidated, its buildings are very intact, and there are people in the city who seem to live here. But none of this surprised Chenping, what surprised him was that there was a huge high-altitude platform in the center of the underground city, and a huge spaceship was parked on it!
It was a medium-sized spaceship that was flat, manta ray-like, gray and black, and looked very inconspicuous. However, the appearance of a spaceship in this kind of ruin is unusually eye-catching, and it is believed that anyone who comes here will notice its existence at first sight. Chenping constructed the entire three-dimensional map of the royal city in his mind, and found that the location of the spaceship was exactly the place where he entered the ruins last time, so the place where the golden light was blessed for the Wyvern Warrior should be the inside of the spaceship.
"There aren't many people living in the dungeon, you just need to find a place to rest, and you won't stay too long anyway!" The gray-robed old man said calmly: "If you are hungry, you can go to the center of the city, where food and water are provided, and it doesn't cost anything!" β
"And how do I leave?" Chenping asked.
"When you come back here in three days, I'll take you away!" After the gray-robed old man finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the passage.
Chenping walked around for a while, and found that the place he was in should be the living area of the dungeon, although there were a lot of items engraved with star patterns in the house, but they all lost their original functions because of the long time, which made him faintly disappointed. It was only after walking a distance towards the center that he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity in the dungeon, as if he had seen it somewhere. After a moment of careful recollection, he remembered where this familiarity came from.
Factory base, the kind of large base for the production of spaceships! When I was a student at the school, the school organized several visits, one of which was to go to the spacecraft production demonstration base. It was also at that beginning that Chenping became deeply interested in cosmic adventures and had a dream of becoming a cosmic explorer.
Although this dungeon is very different from the factory he visited at that time, Chenping has also seen a lot of restoration maps of ancient star-patterned relics, and has a certain idea of the spaceship production base of the ancient star-patterned civilization. Now that the two are in comparison, it is found that this place is very similar to the ship-making base in those pictures.
"Oh, there's a newcomer!" Just when Chenping was in high spirits, suddenly three big men appeared in front of him and blocked Chenping's way.
"Who are you?" When Chenping saw these three people, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, because these three people were all players, and he clearly felt the uncoordinated simulated energy fluctuations on each other's bodies.
"Who else could it be?" The three guys saw that Chenping hadn't figured out the situation yet, and couldn't help but show a burst of sneering: "Hehe, of course it's your senior, or the kind of old-timer who needs to be honored!" β
"What do you mean?" Seeing that these three people could actually guess their true identities, Chen Ping couldn't help but feel a sense of unease flashed in his heart.
"Hand over your equipment!" It's just that the three of them no longer have the heart to chat, but walked a few steps viciously, as if they were about to start a war with Chenping.
"Equip ...... What equipment? Chenping was stunned for a moment, sneered and pretended to be stupid.
"Don't pretend, the people who lured you into coming here won't take your gear. If you don't want to suffer, just hand over all your gear and we'll promise to let you live! Seeing Chenping's blank appearance, the three of them had even more disdain on their faces, and they rushed up directly, preparing to subdue Chenping by themselves...... Just a moment later, the three guys were beaten by Chenping to the point that they did not look like humans, and they fell to the ground desperately begging for mercy.
"Tell me, what's going on here?" Chenping stepped on the face of one of them and asked coldly.
"Big brother, spare your life!" The man was terrified and said, "If you die here, you will be really dead!" β
"What?" Chenping was shocked when he heard this.
"This star-striped relic has been subjected to a special layer of forbidden power, and everything is working normally on the game terminal, but it restricts teleportation. So fight here, once the life points are exhausted, we players will also die! The guy hurriedly explained: "Big brother didn't lose anything, just let us go, okay?" β
"Then why don't you get out of here?" Chenping asked.
"Big brother, do you think we don't want to leave?" The guy said with a bitter face: "We are imprisoned here, and we can't leave at all!" β
"Imprisoned here!" Chen Ping's face changed slightly, and he immediately asked, "Say, who imprisoned you?" β
"Who else could it be, it's the pair of dog men and women in the Ming Shang Kingdom!" The guy said with a sad look on his face.
"Are you talking about Bian Ling Wuyan and Queen Mingxia?" The more Chenping listened, the more shocked he became, and cold sweat involuntarily flowed from his forehead.
"Who else could it be but them!" The guy seemed to touch the sad place, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Big brother, you don't know, in fact, most of the high-ranking officials of the Ming Shang Kingdom know about the existence of our players. Therefore, if you are obedient and obedient, you can arrange to do some rough work under your hands, and if you are disobedient, you will be thrown directly into this hellish place, and let us fend for ourselves! β
"How is it possible, don't the brain monsters care about this situation?" Chenping asked with a frown.
"How could they care?" The guy became more and more excited: "As long as those guys collect the money, they won't care about the life or death of our players!" β
"That's right!" Thinking about it seriously, Chenping also felt that his idea was a bit naΓ―ve, so he changed the question: "Why are they imprisoning us here?" β
"We players are all elites from various civilizations in our own universe, and we have a background that people in this place don't have, so if they want to make high-tech products such as spaceships, they naturally have to find us!" The guy explained.
"Building a spaceship?" Chenping was a little stunned for a while!
"This ruin was originally the base for the ancient star-striped civilization to make spaceships, and after years of repairs by players, most of the facilities are operational, so it's really not a problem to build one or two spaceships." The guy pointed to the ship on the high platform in the center of the city and said, "The ship on it is the second completed ship I've ever seen. If it weren't for the fact that the materials were not enough, the speed of manufacturing could be greatly improved! β
"What do they want these ships for?" Chenping looked at the spaceship and asked suspiciously.
"Of course I escaped from this hellish place!" The guy said as a matter of course: "It's not a day or two that we players have been imprisoned here, and that pair of dog men and women have long known that they are Three-Eyed Stars from an advanced civilization, how could they be willing to become the playthings of the brain monsters!" β
"Really?" Chenping felt in his heart that this guy was too arbitrary, after all, Bian Ling Wuyan, Mingxia and others were different from these players, they were natives of the Ming Shang country. Even if you know that your ancestors are brilliant Three-Eyed Star people, you may not be naΓ―ve to think that as long as you escape from Hunter-7 Star, you can live a happy new life. Are they all people in high positions, are they really willing to let go of the power in their hands and start over willingly?
If you go against the ground and imagine that you are the kind of people like Bian Ling Wuyan and Mingxia. Chenping thinks that they will secretly build a large number of spaceship weapons, train elite warriors to fight with brain monsters, and completely take possession of the Hunter-7 star. Of course, they have this idea because they have not seen the terrifying combat power that the brain monsters have. You must know that in other game stars, Star Wars is just one of the regular shows of the brain monsters!
