Chapter 138: Return and Harvest

When he regained consciousness, he found himself back in the hall of the transit space.

The time flow ratio between the mission world and the transit space, which is also the real world, is much larger than the previous one, about ten to one, and the others have been in it for five or six hours, and nearly half an hour has passed here.

The transit space is still bustling, and even though it has been a few hours since the end of the first mission, there are still people from all sides staying here, laughing and laughing with each other.

With the final balance as the center of the circle, a pile of exoskeleton mechs with tattered surfaces fell out of thin air and scattered around him.

Through the mask full of scratches, familiar faces appeared in front of him: Zhang Jiawei, Lin Yuxian, Jace, Xiaoqian, Claire, Zhou Zifeng, Xu Wenguang.

There are also a few more fresh faces: those few people who "died" in the mission, and now the butlers who have come back to life.

The only thing missing is Carlos - it seems that he didn't survive.

As soon as he returned, some people began to complain:

Lin Yuxian: Damn, counting the addition of this mission, I only have three lives left!

Zhou Zifeng: I don't have five either!

There is also schadenfreude:

Zhang Jiawei and Xu Wenguang were expressionless, they had neither losses nor any contributions in the final battle, they didn't know what to say, they looked at each other and breathed a deep sigh of relief, and a bitter smile appeared on their tired faces.

There are also those who began to celebrate after escaping death and abused dogs.

Claire, Jace, these two foreigners really opened up, and they hugged their housekeepers directly in front of the public and began to kiss, looking at the mouth-to-mouth posture of slamming together, it felt as if their tongues were sticking out into each other's stomachs.

"Hey, hey, there's still acid on the mask, don't come here!" Zhong Heng wanted to dodge, but the exoskeleton armor was broken and he couldn't move, so he pounced on Xiaoqian:

“555555……”

Howling and crying.

In the dark abyss, there are no teammates, no backup, not enough weapons, pinning the hope of life and death on everyone, fighting hand-to-hand with hateful monsters and turning danger into danger again and again, saving the world (uh, it's big), the mental pressure on people is naturally not ordinarily great, and even Xiaoqian herself doesn't know how to do it.

It may not be much at the time of the battle, but when it is over, it is like a tight spring suddenly released, and the feeling of relief will make people's spirits first trance, and then collapse instantly.

"I almost can't come back...... "Holding Zhong Heng, who couldn't move or come out because of the damage to the exoskeleton armor, and was lying on the ground like a dead corpse, he cried so much that he was crying in torrential rain, although there was a layer of separation, ah no, two layers of exoskeleton armor, it also made Zhong Heng embarrassed:

Why don't you give me some face, there are so many people watching here......

……

It's troublesome, and after the return, we still have to do the right thing.

The confirmation of the information heard from Claire and others in the second mission - as they say, the management of the Balance Organization can now only be described in one word:

Mess.

With the appearance of Zhong Heng and others, more figures began to emerge, almost all of them were participants who entered the second game in advance like them, all of them were dirty and ragged, and they had obviously experienced a bloody battle.

There were six or seven hundred people who chose to leave early, but less than a quarter had returned, and most of them had not only the fatigue and fear of the bloody battle, but also the anger that was ready to be attacked.

"x Nima's scales, what a piece of rubbish!"

"I'm quitting, I'm quitting, I'm still an ordinary member who gets your salary, do you treat your employees like this!"

"The largest evolutionary organization, me!"

"Where are your superiors, I want to complain!"

"What about the leaders of your branches? Get the hell out of here...... Hey, that's him! Don't run, stop, explain to us what is going on?! ”

"This is the level of the leader you sent?!"

……

Exactly as expected, the insult of an evolutionary echoed in the transit space, if it weren't for the rule that you can't do it, I'm afraid there would be a river of blood here, Rao is so there are also some people who can't hold back their anger, and their brains are hot and they are kicked out by the main system.

Like what happened to Claire and others, most of the leaders of these scattered teams belonging to the small organizations under the balance are of worrying quality, and they do not have the command quality that a captain should have.

There are also those who are as high-flying and domineering as Claire and they encountered, extremely excessive, smiling and swearing harmless before leaving, and as a result, they sell their teammates as soon as something happens, or use their teammates as animals, and even rely on their strength and threats to do extremely excessive things.

Although there are those who know how to command and have the ability to bring the team up, but after all, they are only a minority, and a small number of the evolutionaries under them who have been blessed, convinced by them, and have a little sense of identification with the scales, try to stand up for their captain and say something for the organization, but they are scolded well, if it weren't for the prohibition of brawls here, these guys who came out and the mud would definitely be killed and disabled.

In the face of these evolutionaries who escaped death from the second mission and crawled through the pile of dead people with more or less blood on their bodies, the mutual aid association composed of low-level evolutionaries under the balance was immediately overwhelmed - not only could not cope with the doubts of these people, but also because these people collectively made the reputation of the organization stink.

Those Evolutionaries who joined in the first round of the solicitation but did not make it to the second game were more or less hopeful about the scales, and were considering whether to join the neutral evolutionaries who followed the mix, and even some of them who were not determined in the first place and had no sense of identity with the organization wavered and chose to leave without looking back.

The fire in the front yard and the fire in the back yard made these major evolutionary associations anxious, but under the management system of the loose alliance, there were not enough people to deal with it, and they were on the verge of collapse in the blink of an eye.

Next to them, those neutral evolutionary groups that did not choose to enter the second field in advance, and the evolutionary groups belonging to various governments laughed at this, and took advantage of the situation to start recruiting these chaotic rabble with nowhere to go, and some began to take the rhythm: mockery, insults, rumors, and even inciting trouble, and falling into the balance.

The entire transit hall was suddenly transformed into a vegetable market.

In addition to seeing the world and understanding the intelligence, Zhongheng also came with the intention of recruiting new members for the development of harvest ants, and now is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

But he doesn't plan to do so for the time being.

Although not many of the evolutionaries who participated in this mission were stronger than Final Heng, compared to these people, his background was too weak, and blindly following the crowd would only be shattered by the waves:

The so-called guns shoot the first birds, just like these organizations have recruited a lot of people before, but they can't bring them up and now they are gathering fire, if the final balance is too prominent, it is very likely to be recorded in a small book - especially since there are many evolutionaries affiliated with various governments here, he doesn't want to be noticed by these people, and he will settle accounts after returning to reality.

The recruitment thing is put aside first, and finally Heng has another plan, and what he needs to do now is a few other things:

First, hide your identity.

As I said before, there are many evolutionaries here who are affiliated with the government, and there must be a purpose for espionage and recording the information of evolutionaries here.

Although the things that can record information exchanged in the virtual space cannot be taken away, and the memories of these people who specialize in intelligence are not covered, and it is very likely that they will be written down first and then restored when they are noticed, or some evolutionaries themselves have the ability to record information.

Therefore, he first took advantage of the chaos just now when no one paid attention to their little shrimp and immediately took the rest of the people back to the room to escape from the center of the chaos, and then exchanged it for a low-cost fantasy skill that can hide their true colors through the ball of light:

Transfiguration, only 2000 points.

He changed his face to an inconspicuous public face in his 30s, so that after staying for a long time, he would not be noticed after gradually revealing his strength - as for the previous one, he could only ask for more blessings.

But there are so many people here, it is impossible for those people to pay attention to each of them, and besides, he has already done all the low-key work that can be done, not to mention that there are participants who are eliminated here every moment, and no one will feel strange if there are one or two less.

Not only did he weigh himself, but all the members of the harvest ants, including the housekeeper, he bought this skill for them to prevent unwanted branches - or in that sentence, being rich is willful.

This has to mention the harvest of this second game.

The reward is always proportional to the risk, although the final balance lost three lives in the second game, a repair module, and weapons such as electromagnetic guns, although the insect army was locked in the tunnel in the end and did not float out and did not lose it, plus the protection of the titanium alloy wormbox with a semi-sealed structure, the insects in it did not die too much, but most of it was used up in the previous battle.

The losses were heavy, but compared to the current gains, he felt that these "investments" were still worth it.

With more than 230,000 points and 14,000 evolution fragments, the point ranking has risen from more than 200 to 6th!

Far beyond expectations.

Along the way, Zhong Heng himself brushed a lot of monsters, especially the self-explosion that killed more than a dozen aliens, although the final boss Jace who controlled the spaceship ion cannon contributed a lot, but the final Heng did not admit much, especially the nest mother was killed by Xiao Qian, and Zhang Jiawei also made a lot of efforts along the way, and it was not normal for Zhong Heng to have few points.

Lin Yuxian and Xu Wenguang also made a lot of contributions.

If you want to be a qualified leader, people have contributed so much to you, and it would not be interesting enough if the harvest was swallowed alone - especially Zhang Jiawei, this rich second generation was not afraid of death, and he sacrificed himself without fear of death, once dragging the elite alien for the whole team, in exchange for a precious retreat opportunity, which really touched him a lot, at that time, if there was no one for him, the team could not retreat in time, even if it was not destroyed, it would be crippled, and finally Heng was a little embarrassed to find an excuse to deduct his points.

Simply, he made a distribution plan like this:

Zhang Jiawei's "debt" was forgiven, and he was divided into 20,000 yuan; Lin Yuxian and Xu Wenguang each shared 30,000 yuan, plus they must have it in their own hands, and it should be enough to have it with the housekeeper; Although Xiao Qian is her own housekeeper, what do you say, "Your things are my things", it is actually the same whether you give it to her or not, but after all, it is she who "saved the world" in the end, without her swordsmanship, it is estimated that everyone is finished, and she is under so much pressure and corpse mutant hand-to-hand combat, especially in the end, killing the nest mother contributed more than 10,000 evolution fragments and more than 100,000 points to Final Heng, if Final Heng "abuses his power" again, it will be too wronged for her.

In addition, swordsmanship is a very powerful skill - especially if the level is raised and two good equipment are matched, so the final balance generously drew 70,000 points.

"You deserve it, I've got enough evolution shards."

The remaining nearly 70,000 is what he left for himself.

Originally, Zhong Heng wanted to buy two reality skills and two fantasy skills, but he was dumbfounded after opening the mall:

I don't know why, the price of real skills has increased, and it is 10 times more expensive than when I first entered the transit space, for example, at that time, there were only 10,000 gun specializations, and there are combat specializations and the like that now require 100,000.

For example, 500,000 for airplane piloting, 300,000 for computer mastery, and one million for doctoral-level physics knowledge.

Therefore, the plan to recharge himself can only be slowed down first, and the final balance turns his goal to not being able to take away equipment, bloodlines, and fantasy skills.

First of all, there is equipment, and the final balance now has nothing but this tattered exoskeleton mecha that is of very limited use in places outside of space (this thing has an advantage in strength compared to the basic attributes of the final balance, and the rest is that the strength is only one or two more adult levels than the final balance), and it costs 8000 points to repair this mecha alone, not counting the money to buy batteries.

So, he decided to leave only the powerful ion saw and sold the mecha in exchange for more than 40,000 points, which added up to almost 110,000 points, which could really make him have a good luxury.

He made a list:

Spend more than 20,000 points to buy a charge and sniper dual-purpose Gauss gun and a number of bullets; Spend more than 30,000 points to upgrade the Flame Enchantment four times; Spend 30,000 points to buy the fantasy skill "Flash"; Spent more than 10,000 points to buy more than 10 new versions of self-detonation bees - this was the most shocking discovery for Zhongheng, and he was really surprised that this mall could still sell equipment that belonged to him.

Of the remaining 7,000 points, the final balance chose to strengthen all attributes.

The transit space can also strengthen the basic attributes, although the cost will be doubled if it is strengthened, and it cannot be taken away afterwards, but the conditions are much more generous - the enhancement attributes here are very cheap, 1000 points can strengthen 1 basic unit, and it will be doubled if it is strengthened to 10 times, which is really a cost-effective choice.

Squandered the harvest and finally collapsed on the bed – a fundamental function of each participant's personal space, which allows the liquid metal walls to circulate like a model to form the desired furniture and decoration structure.

Similarly, basic services such as washing, food, and even entertainment such as watching movies and playing games are also provided, all for free, and cost neither evolution fragments nor points.

Depressed, he lay crookedly, thinking about something: the second game was so difficult, everyone almost didn't come back, and the third game, how to pass it, hey......

Several experiences and real deaths made Zhong Heng's heart have something strange:

He couldn't put it into words, he just felt a little empty - is this what death feels like, suddenly stunned, and then there was nothing until he regained his clarity again after resurrection.

He felt that in the moment of death and life, his thoughts seemed to speed up, and everything he experienced was projected in front of him like a movie video that was tens of thousands of times faster—although it was fast, he could see even a single detail of it, even a speck of dust, very clearly:

Born, grow, leave home, become an evolutionary, come on quests until death, and then repeat on resurrection.

After that, he had a faint feeling that everything in the world was meaningless, and everything in the world no longer needed to be feared - yes, I had even experienced death, what am I afraid of? In my current state, am I alive or dead? Resurrection? Am I the same person after the resurrection? Why am I?

If not me, then what else do I need......

Stop!

In a cold sweat, Zhong Heng suddenly opened his closed eyes.

He shook his head, stopped thinking about these philosophical and mysterious things, and tried to put himself to sleep - although theoretically he could wait until 12 hours later, he would bring Zhao Cheng and Li Xu with him in the next game, so he only had less time to rest, and he needed to sleep well to recuperate.

However, the feeling of going through life and death made it difficult for him to sleep.

"I knew that I would have saved some points and exchanged some sleeping pills...... Well, I've got to get some repair medicine or something......"

Zhong Heng sat up from the bed again, and was thinking about going out to see if he could find Zhang Jiawei and others to borrow some points to exchange for some sleep aids, when a message suddenly passed out from the personal exclusive light ball of the participants around him:

"Your housekeeper Xiaoqian asked to enter the room, do you agree?"
