5. Become famous early
Unlike Tian Boguang, who was busy counting sheep, Huo Chenggong didn't know what happened tonight, and after he replied to the text message, he entered the streets of Skynet again.
After getting the first-class Rescuer Medal that can increase NPC's favorability, Huo Chenggong walked on the street, at first he thought that those guards and patrolmen saluted because of his second lieutenant rank, but when an NPC second lieutenant officer took the initiative to salute him, he felt that it was wrong.
He hurriedly opened the remarks of the surname of the medal, which indicated that several discounts for the medal winners, in addition to the basic favorability increase, the remarks reminded that the medal winners can also enjoy 95% off shopping consumption in this area, and the behavior of the same rank has priority.
Even Huo Chenggong couldn't think of these at all, and at this time he saw that there was a line of words at the end of the note: -10000 points from the lower level. Is this 10,000 points experience points, so what kind of treatment will it be when it reaches the second level? Huo Chenggong, who didn't know anything about this, was extremely surprised.
Because he was not a talented person in the past, among the huge federal soldiers, although he was finally promoted to the school level, it took a long time and sweat, so how much time did he usually have to play such a simple game that had nothing to do with mental training?
And when he gradually rose to prominence by virtue of diligence and perseverance, the war had already swept into every corner of the world, and there was not an inch of pure land, and it never ended until he died.
Some of his known strategies were just obtained from chatting with his comrades-in-arms who gathered from all over the world during the interval of the battle.
Many of those guys used to have the mentality of getting by, so they could squander their time and have a well-known "elite" in Skynet.
Huo Chenggong still remembers that their mantra and even their last words were always "If this is in Skynet...", but war has never if, and the war and reality gradually made them wake up from their dreams and gradually learn to face it strongly.
But if you come back in this life, you will have to take a path that looks similar to theirs.
While thinking about this, Huo Chenggong told himself that he said to himself: "But there is an essential difference between me and them at that time. As he spoke, he closed the surname list, since he didn't understand it for the time being, then he would do it, and then take a look and understand?
Thinking of this, Huo Chenggong suddenly felt a little funny, he was a rookie or a lieutenant, but he hadn't really carried out a plot mission, looking at the high-level standard armor in the backpack, Huo Chenggong walked towards the arsenal, wearing a second lieutenant uniform, wearing the Rescuer Medal, he enjoyed the salute of the NPC inspectors he met all the way, and of course, the eyes of the players.
The guards outside the door of the arsenal were directly released, Huo Chenggong strode into the store, the first time he got the mecha was directly rationed after entering the interface, and the mecha on his body was rewarded by the system, speaking of which, it was the first time he entered the arsenal warehouse of Skynet, and he didn't take the path of a person.
Huo Chenggong was a little proud in his heart, walked to the front of the stage, and in the face of NPC programmatic inquiries and introductions, Huo Chenggong directly ignored it, he looked at the mecha on display there, among the pillars of light, the shrunken mecha projection model was rotating, and the player's hand touched it, and its parameters could be displayed.
There are only six kinds of mecha here, three-level system and three-level assault, in view of the level of the highest commander of the base, such a small base is only the mecha used by the captain, and the pilot's ability and mecha are also matched, even with the help of the cockpit, a newcomer uses combat armor, except for the equipment that is often exploded, there is no benefit, so in such a small place where players above the captain have disdained to come, such a mecha ration is enough.
However, since it is a game, players can do some personal modifications in the mecha, such as colors such as the shape of limbs, and if you really want to, you can also put wings on the back to make a birdman...
But there is a price to install, including when it is used, it will also cause some imbalance in the mecha surname because of modification, from this point of view, Skynet still basically follows the principle.
Looking at a few players on the 10:1 configuration table with the shape of the mecha, trying to stand out from the crowd, you can also see a few players groaning there and carefully checking the parameters of the mecha.
Huo Chenggong couldn't help but smile silently, people can't look good, especially in the virtual world, those who pursue weirdness may be old fanatics who have no hope for the dream of a pilot in their lives, and those uncles who seem to be groaning or even bearded may be a hot-blooded teenager full of longing for tomorrow in reality.
Who can know whom? It's like Tian Boguang doesn't know who I am.
Thinking of Tian Boguang's guy, Huo Chenggong couldn't help but smile again, the quiet mecha was sold and everyone in the hall looked sideways, could this upgrade maniac have any new tricks? But the players who had been secretly peeping at him found that Rommel began to buy mechas.
What kind of will he choose? Everyone thought it was really boring, he just chose an intermediate assault armor - a simple dark black, 20mm mouth cannon, dual laser scanners, a 15mm beam gun, an enhanced defensive arm shield, alloy piercing spikes, 5 fusion grenades... So ordinary.
Wait, what is he doing?
After Huo Chenggong selected the mecha, he moved to the center of the configuration installation table, clicked on the toolbar, he took out a set of shell removal tools, and was dismantling the shell, and the absurd thing was that he took out another cutting gun, and cut the mecha alloy shell in half along the middle.
Only the right side of the mecha shell was kept, and then he... The left arm of the mecha is being dismantled, and the left lower limb is being dismantled.
The movements are so skillful, some discerning players can't help but wonder, is this still a mechanic? He even dismantled the joint drive of his left arm! This is a professional level even in the virtual world, but the action is really arrogant, so this is also equipment worth 3000 points of real money.
Many people involuntarily gathered around, and they even called their friends to come in the channel.
In the virtual block at midnight, people kept appearing from the starting point and coming here, at this time the NPC salesman stood there expressionlessly, the guards were still solemn, the patrol street police were walking back and forth according to the program, and the sentinels on the periphery of the base were silent, only here, gradually crowded with people.
They were all looking at what the recently up-and-coming newcomer upgrade king in front of the configuration table was busy with.
"What kind of craft is this?" A player who is a maintenance engineer exclaimed in a low voice, and only then did the people on the side see clearly, this player who was actually a player with the rank of captain, and a player with the rank of captain rushed to this small remote base? Before the surrounding players could react, they saw a major next to the captain and whispered, "Could it be the composite defense process of the fighting armor?" ”
… Major? Some players have seen that this major has an Iron Eagle logo on his chest, which is the famous Iron Eagle Guild!
They were shocked by the reputation of the union to which they belonged, but they ignored what the major had just said that if it was circulated, it would disgrace the experts, because the composite defense process of the fighting armor was used to create the defensive surface of the general-level mecha! Huo Chenggong did indeed do this.
At least it seems.
He was molding the alloy he had purchased into a single piece of armor according to the outer dimensions of the mecha arm components with a cutter and a hydraulic grinder, and so on until the whole stage was filled with shining silver light.
Standard armor is headless, while assault armor has a helmet-like head, completely anthropomorphic.
At this moment, the mask of the assault armor was also taken off, revealing the hideous inside, and now Rommel on the stage is dismantling the parts of the head of the assault armor, two laser scans like human eyes, and the 20mm mecha main gun in the mouth is completely exposed in front of people's eyes.
The appearance of all the parts of the 10:1 virtual mecha is realistic, and a player can disassemble it so easily, and after the parts are wrapped in alloy armor, they must not affect the use of transmission, what kind of understanding does this need to know about the mecha?
The major of the Iron Eagle Guild was finally moved when he saw this scene, and he was sure that this was indeed the process of the composite defense process. Without hesitation, he walked towards the front desk, Huo Chenggong was busy, he didn't bother, but he immediately sent a live video to his superior, and continued to watch it silently.
He was wondering if the author knew about the layout of the sensor's energy line of a real mecha... He suddenly laughed dumbly, how could there be a senior maintenance engineer who had done such a thing but did not understand the layout of the line?
But he didn't understand that Huo Chenggong was just recalling the legends he had seen.
On the battlefield in the past, Huo Chenggong had to repair himself or help his comrades maintain the mecha in between artillery fire, even under the cover.
Assault is the middle force of the Federation, and he doesn't know how much he has been in contact with.
So in the game, how can he not catch this kind of line emission that does not involve the core technology, and is just a simple mecha drive part structure?
Huo Chenggong was engrossed, sinking into his own world, slowly shaping the alloy according to the shape of the face armor, and then molding, and after splicing, he went to busy with the rationing of parts.
At this time, there was an exclamation from the audience, and people exclaimed that half of the protective surface at this moment was the original dark black, and now the other side was silver formed along the outer edge of the part, and after the two main colors of the interstellar era were spliced into a surface, embedded in the head of the assault armor, the moment it was displayed on the stage, everyone looked up at its location, and they were shocked.
Because at this moment, the mecha face has changed from the previous rigidity, but now it seems to be alive, which contains a kind of mystery, weird, like a mixture of gods and demons, the laser decorated as the eyes emits a faint blue light, indifferent and arrogant staring at the front and ignoring all beings.
Even the major was distracted by this scene and ignored the flashing avatar in the personal call bar.
This is just the visual impact of the face protection, but what about the whole? Those who were reluctant to look away saw that the left arm had been formed, and the silver alloy parts perfectly wrapped the shoulder, upper arm, joints, lower arm, and the curved drive rod between the arm joints.
Then Huo Chenggong installed a silver shell on the periphery of it, and installed a star spike on the shoulder, seeing that the major here was dumbfounded, this guy directly enhanced the armor's melee combat and defense capabilities on the basis of the assault armor.
As the right side of the main defense surface, now there are two layers of alloy protection, with a minimum of +30 defense, plus the arm shield equipped on that side, oh, this guy has also been replaced with silver, he sighed that Huo Chenggong is still continuing to install the breastplate, and the lower limbs are like the upper limbs, and it is finally completed.
Then Huo Chenggong took a big step back, enlarged the ratio of this mecha to 1 to 1, placed it on the display table, and then clicked on the total parameters: total defense 500, movement -3, and the rest of the surnames can remain the same. Huo Chenggong sighed slightly, if he was driven by the engine of the school-level mecha, he would not lose his movement.
But he thought about it, and the move-3 was not too much of an obstacle to him, after all, what he was currently facing could not be a school-level pilot.
And below the lieutenant, with his own defense, his own fighting experience, and those messy strategies, he should be able to get through it smoothly.
So Huo Chenggong smiled, he looked back and saw so many people behind him, desperately filming a finished product that he had personally completed, he smiled again, this was what he expected, although he was engrossed in the transformation just now, but he could still detect the abnormality of the hall at the moment of thinking, and this was what he wanted.
Fame needs to be done early.
Only at the beginning of the real development of Skynet, can it be valued by others, can it be qualified to form its own army, establish its own forces, and finally combine virtual and reality, and become an existence that transcends the past and even surpasses that person, and can change anything.
He looked at the fighting armor of Rommel Rommel, the silver fox of the Star Sea that he had made based on his memories, Rommel had been paranoid about this kind of appearance since he was a lieutenant, which also reflected his true surname, like a demon in wartime and a god in peacetime.
In fact, every truly good soldier is like this, but I am already ahead of you in this life!
Huo Chenggong remotely controlled the mecha and did a few fighting moves, the mecha with the shield in his right hand and the stab in his left hand danced with cold light, his figure flickered, and the eyes of the major who saw this scene were tight, this is the fighting style of New Rome.
Europa-style names, New Rome's fighting starters, Asia Minor's belongings, Hurricane upgrades, incredible mechanics, who is he? At this time, he saw the call, and quickly answered it, and a voice came: "Hurry up and contact him and join us." ”
"Yes, sir, conditions?" "I'm afraid he doesn't want it!"
The Major no longer hesitated, and strode up: "Hello, Your Excellency Rommel. He prayed in his heart that you would be our Asians and not foreigners in Asia, and Rommel turned back: "Hello, Your Excellency Major. "What's hidden in the synthesized electronic sound, is it his age?
The Major took a deep breath, and he still asked, "Are you Asiatic?"
"Yes."
"Have you heard of the Iron Eagle Guild?"
"A strong union, like thunder." Rommel said calmly, glancing at the iron eagle on the Major's chest.
Of course, he had heard of the second largest trade union in Xuchang District, but in the near future, it inexplicably declined, and many masters were silent until the beginning of the war, and they did not show up again until the beginning of the war, and legend has it that they have also disappeared in reality, as if the world has evaporated.
It is even said that they were originally a radical organization of officers, looking for like-minded partners in Skynet.
In the aftermath of the Europa Incident, it was thought that they had been overthrown, otherwise Asia would have become the second in Europa, and the radical institutions of violence, no matter how good their intentions, often ended up being accomplices of the scholars, and this is a one-sided public opinion, as evidenced by countless clear examples of Europa and history, and so people have settled on it.
And no one argues against it.
However, as a soldier who has experienced the war years, Huo Chenggong has a great antipathy for those bureaucrats who neglect their duties, and the politicians who often shout that sacrifice is necessary, but shrink back in the rear, but he has a deep affection for the simple soldiers who are passionate and eager for meritorious deeds.
But this doesn't mean that he has a detailed plan, and he is willing to blindly enter a pool of muddy water that does not know the depth, so he expressed respect, but his tone is thousands of miles away, and the major can feel it, there is a trace of incomprehension in his eyes, as if he knows us very well?
He insisted on extending the invitation, although when he spoke, he knew the result.
Sure enough, Rommel politely refused, saying, "Thank you for your attention, but I don't have much time to spend in Skynet, so I'd rather play alone." Rommel paused, then added, "This is just an outlet for my pastime, don't take it too seriously, Your Excellency." ”
The major opened his mouth, Rommel had already collected the mech, said goodbye to him, turned around and walked through the crowd and walked out of the hall, he was still on the stage, and the low-level players in the audience couldn't help but make a noise when they saw that for them, it was the legendary Iron Eagle Guild that had not been able to recruit Rommel.
There is no disrespect for Iron Eagle, just regret.
Because everyone thinks that such a union and such a player are compatible, why can't they go together? Even the major couldn't understand it, he smiled bitterly, surprisingly not angry, and said to his superior: "Sir, maybe he is too good, so he disdains the game." ”
"Attention, you're right not to be entangled anymore." Xu Chongzhi put down the communication and withdrew from Skynet, he rubbed his eyes that were a little red, thought about it and called up the transformation record, as a traditional mecha manufacturing family, he has an understanding of machine repair beyond ordinary people.
Looking at those actions, and some of the plausible things he knew, Xu Chongzhi was thinking, what was Rommel hiding something, then why did he show it on stage, and if so, why did he refuse Tie Ying's solicitation, was he waiting for higher treatment?
He was thinking about it, but at this moment, Huo Chenggong was wearing a god and demon armor, and he was waiting for the second demon army messenger in the storm of yellow sand.
Ensign Mission: Brave Rangers.
Mission Objective: Within a radius of 500 miles, with three Demon Army Mecha Special Equipped Companies, under the condition of cutting off wireless communication, find two Demon Couriers and kill them.
Difficulty: 8
What a simple task, although there are five low-level demon armorers in charge, as long as it is at coordinates 15.12, and coordinates 62.322, you wait, the messenger of the demon clan will appear, it's as simple as that, you can enter the side quest after you finish it, call the naval aircraft carrier formation to bombard the enemy camp, and then at least 1000 experience points can be obtained.
"There's almost no pleasure in cheating fighting, so let's go to sleep after doing it."
Huo Chenggong, who wanted to use the new assault armor to have fun, was bored with the yellow sand with his thick alloy fingers, and he pounced on the moment the prompt sounded, and the demon messenger was turning this towering large sand dune, and when he saw the enemy appear, the demon roared against the wind and pounced.
In the face of such a lieutenant-level demon, Huo Chenggong calmly pulled the trigger at the moment of pounce, and the beam gun accurately hit the two fusion grenades he buried there.
The smoke has not yet dissipated, the yellow sand has not yet fallen, the starlight spurt has slammed into the arms of the enemy, the collision of the two mecha made Huo Chenggong's cockpit vibrate violently, he pressed his body tightly, while the hind legs were stretched out, the shield of the left arm was raised to open the opponent's arm, and the right hand swallowed like lightning.
The thick double-pointed alloy thorns like short spears instantly pierced into the cockpit position of the magic armor, and a -50 burst out on the head of the magic armor again.
When, the cockpit surface fell with the exiting alloy thorn, hitting Huo Chenggong's left leg, and then fell into the yellow sand with a thud, the wind blew the sand and dust, even if his figure was covered, it still filled the opponent's cockpit, making the green blood flowing from the body of the realistic demon soldier turn yellow and black...
The huge head, small eyes, bulging limbs, and the features of the armpit with membranes, maybe this is to reduce the guilt of killing, and the demons look like they should die.
Huo Chenggong shook his head, but at this moment, he saw a little light in the cockpit of the magic armor in his eyes, what was the situation? Huo Chenggong stretched out his arm and pulled out the poor demon body, and he finally saw that what had just come from behind the pierced demon body was the light of the demon armor light brain.
"It's realistic." Huo Chenggong smiled and stretched out the alloy finger of the mecha and lightly clicked it, at this moment, Huo Chenggong's face couldn't help but change, the light disappeared in place, and along his mecha arm quickly towards the cockpit position... A sudden cool sensation in my brain flashed away.
Huo Chenggong was stunned, is this a real physical reaction, or just an illusory stimulus?
