Mass Effect World, Starlink New York City.

"Sir, all the equipment is in order." The young adjutant stood in front of Zhao Min and reported.

"Then ...... Let's go. After Zhao Min finished speaking expressionlessly, he took the lead in turning around and leaving the office hall. Once the "New York Branch of Dawning City Limited in Starlink", it is now empty, with only empty workshops and scattered papers...... Even after hundreds of years, this scene seems to have never changed.

When the twelve small transport ships took off from the top of the building, the adjutant sitting next to Zhao Min looked very unwilling. As the transport ship swept through Sunset Street, she finally couldn't help but say out, "Sir, we're ...... Is it still possible to come back? ”

Zhao Min looked at the surging crowd of protesters outside the window and did not answer the question.

After the war, the Star League was in ruins - not architectural. Compared to the home planet of other races, the Earth has not even been directly invaded, and no Reaper battleship has ever landed on the Earth, and the facilities of the home planet of the Star Alliance can be said to be the most perfectly preserved.

This "ruin" is the human heart......

In this war, a total of 210 million people went to war, and 74 million people were killed and wounded!

The point is not on the casualties - after all, all they need to do is put on a flag, buried in the barren city of Pluto, and fired a few more shots - the total cost is no more than five stars. In addition, all pensions and disability allowances are paid in full, so that the families of these people do not have any complaints...... After all, even if you want to delay the money, you will only do it after a few years when things calm down.

The big trouble now is the soldiers who survived...... There are too many of them! Although these people are all in the prime of labor. But now Starlink doesn't need that much! Because all colonies are "temporarily" lost, humanity currently only has the solar system to house labor...... Although the higher-ups of the Star Alliance really wanted these people to die honorably, the war was fought in a way and speed that they did not want to see. That's the end of it!

Then the 140 million active-duty soldiers left behind became a big problem.

At the beginning, these people were mobilized by all kinds of war propaganda slogans -- "Behind you is your hometown, and we have no way out!" "Every inch of the land of the Star Alliance is forged with blood!" "If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of good fortune and misfortune"...... Give the excitement to the blood, and then go to the battlefield. But wait until they come back. only to find out that this star union is still the star union of bureaucratic capitalism and big entrepreneurs, not theirs.

The sum of all the wealth they hold is less than one percent of that of Starlink. In this place they guarded with their lives. They don't have an inch of land, they don't have a penny of interest, they don't have a job, they don't have a social status...... No one even takes them seriously. No. It should be said. Society as a whole is increasingly seeing them as a "problem", and news networks are promoting their protests as "war trauma syndrome" on a daily basis, and they don't even have the means to speak their minds.

These people quickly turned from heroes to tumors, and the huge sense of loss made countless people begin to hate that they had defended this star link......

Of course, there is also the credit of some people in the Star Alliance. The bureaucrats used their positions to devour a large amount of war surplus materials, and the capitalists took advantage of the abundance of human resources to push wages to the bottom line in one go; Politicians jump up and down. Throwing pots everywhere...... In this case, the "city of dawn" that never takes the initiative to meddle in the politics of various countries. It has become the object of the black pot.

So a certain large group took the lead in shouting, "Support domestic products, reject the dawn!" slogan. Instruct people to gather people to burn all kinds of cheap goods with the logo of the Dawning City, and then double the price of their goods and distribute them at a discount of 20% - but who knows that the Dawning City has long since stopped wasting productivity on basic supplies. The city of Dawn now has all its basic supplies ordered from various countries - including the big group.

The funny thing is that in order to grab the order of Dawning City, the Starlink Group quoted only a quarter of the market price! It is completely using the "patriotism" to plunder the excess profits within the Star Alliance, and then go to make up for the loss of the order in Dawning City. Not only that, but for its publicity, it even had to pay a "hush money" to Dawning City......

The New York branch of the City of Dawn collapsed, and hundreds of thousands of people marching through the streets cheered in unison, ecstatic, like a carnival. Zhao Min looked down at all this with a sneer, speechless. These people had no idea that in exchange for a retreat from the "Dawning City", the price that the Star Alliance needed to pay could even fill these twelve transport ships! Eventually, the cost will be passed on to those who march below.

In terms of grand strategy, the "City of Dawn" was originally to shrink and then move to another world battlefield, which was simply a follow-up to the trend. Zhao Min didn't know what she was annoyed about, and finally she dialed Yakumo Zi's phone with some anger, "Hey, when will that guy come back?!" We're fighting to the death with Mona every day, how long does he, the captain, want to be idle?! Wait for us to defeat the Mona, and then he will come back for a celebration?! Still waiting for our funeral! ”

"How do I know? I'm just dating him, and even if you ask me, I don't have an answer. On the other side of the phone, Yakumo Zi drugged and said without restraint, "But I heard that he opened another harem over there, what is it called Shuiyue Palace." Mature Lori is too versatile.,And role-playing.,Maybe I can't miss it......"

"Fack!"

"Faketu."

*****

Lao Lu, who is still fighting to death here, doesn't know that he was viciously complained about, and even his grandmother is classified as a member of his harem, including Xiao Lizi......

There is a reason why he avoided the war with the Mona people and concentrated on fighting in the Xianxia world. Since the accurate "prediction" that the number of fleets of the Reapers' attack on the Spear System was 24,000, Lao Lu's confidence in his prophecy has increased greatly!

So one day, he said to the sky, "O prophecy, tell me what it takes to defeat Mona easily?" Then he loosened the "Chu Qing" sword vertically like a magic stick - at this time, his side was like a hundred-year-old child grasping Zhou, full of various models! It can be said that there is everything. Enough "magic sticks" to make a choice. As a result, there was a "snap" - the extremely heavy "Chu Qing" sword fell down and smashed his foot hard!

For this land, the hiker was lame for a week.

Then one day, he took the Scepter of Safras and said again to the sky. "Magical Scepter of Safuras, tell me what it takes to defeat Mona, right?" At this time, he was standing in the very center of the Dawning City, surrounded by a huge deep space fleet, where all the weapons of war were located! Then there was another "snap" - the "Hatsuqing" sword fell from his belt and smashed his foot again......

The tragic Lu Yuan finally determined one thing, if he wanted to defeat the Mona, the key was not in those huge warships that were tens of kilometers long. Now what makes him very entangled is. If the prophecy technique is really successful, then what is the way to defeat the Mona people with the "Chu Qing" sword? Or his feet...... It's a painful question.

There is a price to be paid for making accurate prophecies with the Scepter of Safras - hence the majority of those who abuse the scepter. In the end, it ended badly. So Lu Yuan didn't dare to use it more, what if he fell out of the festival?! So he could only hide the question of "sword or foot" in his heart, and the painful (broken foot, really painful) carried the secret alone. Coming to the world of Xianxia to improve his strength again - he could feel it. The day of the decisive battle against Mona is not far off, and there is not enough time left for him to improve his strength.

Don't look at Lu Xiaoer's daily life seems to be muddy, in fact, he knows it very well in his heart. In martial arts, he has reached the limit of the human body, and his swordsmanship is almost the way, and what he needs to go to the next level is no longer new swordsmanship, but more opponents with equal strength to polish! And the path of magic has also come to an end, and at his level, the enemies he needs to face are all of that kind - if he doesn't go out with dozens of immunity on his body. I'm embarrassed to say hello to others!

His list of spells is in addition to a few legendary spells and spells that are attached to the power of the upper world. Most of the magic under the eight rings will be ineffective against the current opponents, and will be completely reduced to a toy to tease the creeps. Further down, the study of magic has actually become an analysis of rules, laws, and the power of the source sea, and all cultivation paths have begun to lead to the same end here.

In this regard, on the contrary, it is the Oriental immortal system that goes more far-reaching. Unlike magic, which aims to control energy, Immortal seems to have chosen to control the rules of the world from the very beginning—a more difficult path. Therefore, although Oriental immortal art is not as colorful as magic, it is often more surprising in effect. A simple example of this is a large-scale change in the weather, which is supposed to be an eleven-ring magic in Torreel...... was blocked by Sister Mi. But in the East, it seems that many Earth Wanderers can do it.

Of course, this is just a rudimentary idea of Lu Yuan. He was no longer the same person he had when he first entered Baldur's Gate, he was still a blank slate, so he easily accepted the concept of magic. Now Lu Yuan is already a great master of the three systems of swordsmanship, fist and magic, and the research of these three systems is unmatched in the pluralistic world! Therefore, his cognitive obstacles are piled up as high as a mountain!

Not to mention that re-learning the immortal art system is so profound, even the small question of "should the flying sword be held in your hand when using the imperial sword technique", Lu Yuan and Lu Dongbin have been arguing for ten years! For this reason, people's brains are often beaten into dog brains, and no one can convince anyone...... It can be seen how difficult it is to tear down and rebuild the entire knowledge system!

But in the end, Lu Yuan first emptied his heart through a series of 2B behaviors - such as pretending to be demented, such as being a shopkeeper, and transferring (catching) teaching (getting) two children's papers.

Then the first spark blooms from "turning stones into gold"; And now, the Five Spirits Immortal Technique is the second! The original version of the Five Spirits Immortal Technique was the elemental power manipulated by the Elemental Demon God, which was too similar to the plastic energy system in the magic system! But when the five gods use rules to manipulate the power of the elements, the power is more than a hundred times that of plastic magic! Therefore, Lu Yuan instantly realized that he had finally found a breakthrough to open up the magic and immortal magic system......

At the moment when there was no room for fire, the five basin-sized fireballs condensed by Lu Yuan flew out rapidly, strangely bypassing the earth god who was blocking in front, and then smashed into the fire god's face! This life, which had been born from the combination of heaven and earth spiritual power and fire spiritual power since the birth of heaven and earth, was stunned by the sudden attack.

How many years...... How many years, he muttered meaninglessly, how many years have he not been fooled! "It tastes so good!" He tasted the taste of the flame and said, unlike all the flames in this heaven and earth, with a ...... "salty taste? ”

"Who's Idle?" Lao Lu said innocently.

"Hahaha~ Nuwa, I took your deal!" The Vulcan laughed, "Let's have another fight!" TM get over here and die! ”

After saying that, six blazing wings suddenly bloomed behind his back, and the crimson armor served as the hood, and then a huge flame giant sword appeared in his hand. With a red light that pierced through the deep sky, he swooped down towards Lu Yuan with a thunderous swoop! The flames spread even more massive behind him, and landed far under the hood!

But the next moment, I only heard "Touch!" With a loud bang, the flames dispersed, and the entire void shook violently! Then the Vulcan rolled back with his face covered and rolled back faster than he charged......

Lao Lu held one foot high on the spot and posed a Huang Feihong POSE!

"It's okay to play with fire...... Do it with me, you don't have enough class! ”
