Chapter 38: Secrets
Murphy took a deep breath, and then said a little unwillingly: "Since you have guessed it, I have no need to hide it." However, you have to make sure that after I tell the secret, I will not sit on the ground. ”
Yun Qi shook his head: "That's impossible, I can guarantee other matters such as trading hidden rewards, but I can't make unnecessary guarantees except for what you said about 'sitting on the ground', but if your secret is valuable, I can convert it into a certain reincarnation point and discount it when trading the final reward." ”
"I'm sure it's a secret that won't work for you." Murphy said angrily.
"The value of a secret is not necessarily in itself, but more in the reference value. Believe me, studying the laws of things is itself an existence that cannot be embodied by values. ”
Seeing Yun Qi say this, Murphy also had to say everything.
The real reason why Murphy did everything possible to even abandon the main quest and take on this hidden quest is that the shoulder cannon involves a more hidden reward: the Predator.
In the original plot, the Predator, as the most important part of the coming-of-age ceremony, is to get the indispensable part of the Predator's suit from the pyramid - the shoulder cannon.
It represents not only a weapon, but also an important part of the rite of passage, and without obtaining the shoulder cannon, even if the Predator kills more aliens, it is not considered a complete merit.
This is also why as soon as the pyramid mechanism is activated, the Predator's first target is not the alien, but the human. It was because the humans took the three shoulder cannons in the dark cabinet and touched the mechanism of the pyramid.
"So, as long as you hand over the shoulder cannon, you can get the help of the Predator?" Yun Qi repeated Murphy's last sentence and said in a questioning tone, "Are you sure it's just help?" ”
"That's not wrong, anyone who has watched the original movie knows that at the end of the film, the human and the Predator only survived the heroine and the last Predator in the alien attack, and after that, the two joined forces to fight against the alien race that took advantage of the time and place, and it was the shoulder cannon that played the role of a bond." Murphy said.
Yun Qi thought about it carefully, and there was indeed this plot in the last part of the film, but the film is a film after all, and it does not mean that the world reshaped by the reincarnation world will definitely repeat everything in the movie.
At least in the experience of "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra", the giant Neo snake demon that appeared did not appear in the original movie.
Perhaps seeing Yun Qi's doubts, Murphy told him that he had also obtained from other people about the method of "buying" the Predator with the shoulder cannon, and as for reliability, a reincarnation contract signed by both parties would show that all this was true.
"Since you're being honest, let's talk about the more important topic: how many chips are you going to put up for the rewards of this mission?" Yun Qi especially accentuated the words "honest with each other", which couldn't help but make Murphy's heart beat faster by half a beat.
In the end, the two sides agreed: with the assistance of Sandru and Yun Qi, the last link of saving people will be given to Murphy as much as possible, of course, if the situation does not allow, the person who finally gets the "shoulder cannon" must hand over the shoulder cannon to Murphy.
In exchange for chips, in addition to giving Yun Qi the weapon transformation nameplate, Murphy also gave Sandru a gravity chip as an advance payment, and after completing the mission, he had to pay an additional 3,000 points to each of them.
[Anti-gravity chip: one-time consumables, a transformation of the technology props, increase the anti-gravity function of the technology props, the anti-gravity effect depends on the original gravity of the technology props, and the effect range is 5%~50% of the anti-gravity effect. 】
Yun Qi was envious, but Sandru looked indifferent, it seemed that he had made up his mind to develop towards a magical necromancer.
Yun Qi couldn't help but think about how to get his hands on the anti-gravity chip, but when he remembered that he had suddenly killed the Predator before, it was already a bit excessive, and he couldn't take all the benefits alone, so he gave up.
This is equivalent to splitting a C-tier weapon worth 9000 points into three, plus the amount of the advance payment, which is worth at least 4000 points.
Considering that Murphy's actual strength is still above Sandru and Yunqi, the comprehensive reward of more than 8,000 points is already considered a high return.
However, Yun Qi did not let Murphy go because of this, he didn't believe the so-called nonsense that you could get the Predator by exchanging shoulder cannons, and he had to let Murphy put more blood.
In the end, Murphy promised to give Yun Qi all the alien enhancement potions that would be revealed in the future for free, anyway, he didn't have much other effect except to sell them to the main god at half price. In addition, he insisted that he didn't have more common currency in his body, and if he gave more, there would be a danger of ending in a negative reincarnation point, so he insisted on refusing to let more.
Finally, there is the reincarnation contract, which is signed in Murphy's repeated emphasis: no matter the final reward for the hidden plot - the shoulder cannon is obtained by any one of the three parties (Murphy, Yunqi, and Sandru), it must be handed over to A (Murphy), and if it is violated, it will be directly erased
When everything was done, Sandru's barbecue came to an end - half-burned.
Yun Qi did not shy away from picking out a bunch and putting it into his mouth three times and two times, for the reincarnation, supplementing nutrition is the first priority, and the taste is the last.
"Good craftsmanship." During the meal, Yun Qi did not forget to tease.
"Damn, if it weren't for the fierce conversation you talked about and divided my heart, how could it burn like this." That being said, watching Yun Qi eat up all the half-charred barbecue skewers, he still cast a grateful gaze.
……
After splitting forces with Tie Feng, Yun Qi's side only encountered an ambush team composed of three messenger aliens, but unfortunately, under the cruise of Murphy's flying probe, it was quickly exposed, and the ambush turned into a one-sided slaughter without suspense.
The messenger aliens who were supposed to be hunters were all wiped out, and in addition to the strength of Murphy and others, the narrow place that should have been suitable for ambushes became the tomb of the aliens who had the advantage of agility.
Ending this small episode, the proceeds naturally fell into Yun Qi's pocket without dispute: three bottles of alien enhancement elixirs, so far, Yun Qi has collected 25 bottles of alien enhancement elixirs, and the number of aliens killed is 6.
The main quest is to inject an alien enhancement potion to inhibit the hatching of alien larvae in the body: 6/24 completion.
Given that each injection of the potion could also increase his vitality by 10%, Yun Qi had already overfulfilled the task. Sure enough, the strength of the team is always stronger than the individual, and the price Yun Qi paid for this was only 100 reincarnation points per bottle.
Now, Yun Qi is worried about Helena, and her blue name is displayed in her heraldic friends, indicating that she is still alive, but there is no information, and what is even more worrying is how long the dormant alien larvae in her body can support without the strengthening potion.
As time passed, Helena's condition became more and more promising, and now 24 hours have passed, which means that every two hours a bottle of Xenomorph Enhancement Potion needs to be consumed to prevent the Xenomorph larvae from breaking out.
Just then, Murphy stopped,
"There is a situation!" Murphy picked up a handheld computer and surveyed the map image displayed by the flight probe, but there was nothing but the maze that was winding and the full route of the maze had not yet been discovered.
"What's going on?" Sandru looked at the handheld computer for a long time and found nothing.
"There was a red dot on the map just now, and now it's suddenly gone." Murphy wondered.
"Red dots?" Yun Qi asked.
"The Flying Profiler is not only a map killer, but also has a reconnaissance function, which can not only easily scan all living organisms with thermal reactions, but also give feedback to all moving organisms." Murphy explained as he controlled the Flying Profiler to scan the anomaly in all directions, but there was no trace of it.
"Is the thermal sensor malfunctioning?" Sandru asked.
Murphy shook his head: "Unlikely. ”
That being said, he called the probe back anyway - in order to better feedback the situation on the path ahead, Murphy specially asked the probe to keep it too far away from him.
Soon, the flight probe returned to its side, and three red dots were clearly visible.
"It's not bad, that's weird." Murphy muttered.
If it is an alien, the heat induction is isolated by their unique exoskeleton, but it can still reflect their every move with dynamic vision function, but the problem lies in the sudden disappearance, that is, the other party can have a alien exoskeleton at the same time, and intelligently meet the flight probe with dynamic vision ability, in order to disappear for no reason.
"Is it the Predator?" Murphy guessed.
"Unlikely, this place is close to the alien lair, how could the Predator appear here." Yun Qi analyzed.
"I wish it was iron-willed, and they would open the way for us to oblige. What are you afraid of, we are not here to drink tea and chat, fighting, fighting is the normal state of reincarnation. Sandru said with some excitement.
"Be careful." Looking at the excitement of his companions, Yun Qi was speechless for a while, but he still moved forward.
For them, it is reasonable to encounter the enemy, and if they don't meet it, it is called a problem, so they can't give up because of a small abnormality
After a few minutes, they became more cautious, and they walked to the same area where the anomaly had been reported earlier.
"Look, what's that?" It was Sandru who spoke, and he pointed to the far corner, where there was a distinctly disgusting-looking pile of slime that took up most of the corner like a giant silkworm chrysalis.
"Alien slime?" Yun Qi's eyes flashed, which meant that it was self-evident to everyone present.
The three of them silently took out their weapons and formed a triangular formation in a tacit understanding - this was the best way to prevent enemy attacks from all directions.
There was silence, and nothing could be heard except for the propeller sound of the low-flying probes.
"Hostile?" Yun Qi asked in the shortest words.
Murphy glanced down at the handheld computer in his hand: "Hell, everything is normal!" ”
"Damn everything is normal, that's the most abnormal manifestation!" Sandru muttered indignantly.
The silence lasted for three minutes, and just when the three of them thought it was a false alarm, a faint mist suddenly filled the air.
"What's the situation!" Sandru's eyes widened as the fog surrounded them without them noticing.
"The fight you crave is coming." Yun Qi glanced at Sandru behind him.
"Damn! Blame me for this! Sandru pleaded palely.
"That's not right! There's something wrong with this white mist. Yun Qi distinctly smelled a faint fragrance mixed with a strange mixture, and a dizzy signal came from his brain.
