Although the construction of the base on the Floating Island Fortress is nearing completion, only the Floating Island Fortress with no defensive weapons in its buildings, no matter how advanced it is, it is impossible to withstand the attacks of unknown creatures or humans.

Even if the three cannons can play a defensive role, but this is only in the absence of a large-scale attack, once it encounters a collective attack by thousands of unknown biotas, the floating island fortress will definitely suffer very serious losses.

Moreover, the current floating island fortress only has the ability to land and sea, but the air defense capability is extremely weak, and a large number of air defense weapons need to be installed to make up for this shortcoming, which is definitely a large amount of money.

Lu Ping looked at the bill in his hand with a headache, now his energy point has become negative, and he owes more than one million, if he doesn't want to pay it back, let alone install defensive weapons, even the food and ammunition of his subordinates have become a problem.

In addition, as in today's cold and freezing, all unknown creatures are frozen in ice, and many mines also need to dig through the ice before they can be mined, and the income from energy points is far less than the consumption, Lu Ping couldn't help but show a sad face.

At this time, Shirata Keiji came up with understanding, and said in a low voice: "Commander, are you struggling with the problem of energy points?" In fact...... It's not impossible. ”

"Huh?" Lu Ping raised his head and listened to what Shirata Keiji meant, he seemed to be able to solve this problem?

There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes: "Do you have a way to get an energy point?" ”

"Uh...... There is no way to do this for the time being. Keiji Shirata shook his head and made a pertinent suggestion: "But you can take credit!" But only if it agrees......"

"It?"

Lu Ping was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

It in Shirata Keiji's mouth must be a red queen.

If the red queen can agree to the credit, it is indeed a good way.

So Lu Ping immediately opened the dialogue with the Red Queen and conveyed his willingness to take credit to the past.

After a few minutes of silence, the voice of the red queen finally came to his ears.

"Yes, the upper limit shall not exceed 10 million, and it must be paid off within half a year."

Lu Ping grinned, ten million, the red queen is really generous.

In this way, he can squander energy points with impunity, but it would be better if they didn't need to be repaid.

Fortunately, it took half a year to repay the debts, but it left him enough time for development, and he believed that he would definitely be able to pay off these accounts after half a year.

However, before this, Lu Ping still has a question to clarify: "After the red, this 10 million energy points is my actual income, right?" ”

"Theoretically, yes."

"That's great!" Lu Ping clapped his hands violently and said with a smile: "Then my permissions should be able to be upgraded to intermediate permissions, right?" ”

The red queen was silent.

"Red queen, you must know that I need strength now! Only with strong strength can I earn enough energy points, and you don't want me to be in debt after half a year, right? ”

Lu Ping had an idea in his heart, although he knew that the possibility of the red queen agreeing was very small, he still wanted to give it a try.

But in exchange for this sentence, it is still silent.

Lu waited quietly, and after a long time, the red queen finally compromised.

"Temporary clearances can be opened for you, but you'll need to be put to the test!"

"Test?" Lu Ping was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What kind of test?" ”

The Red Queen explained: "The promotion of primary authority to intermediate clearance requires the completion of a mission issued by the base to test whether the commander has the strength to withstand all that this clearance brings. ”

"And that said?"

Lu Ping was stunned, this was the first time he took the initiative to release a task after hearing about red.

"So what is this mission?"

"Please wait, the data is in transit...... Once the transfer is complete, the commander can view the mission details in the control panel! ”

Lu Ping immediately opened the control panel, and sure enough, he saw an envelope-like thing appear in the center of the panel, he quickly clicked on it and read it carefully......

【Promotion Mission】

Requirements: Resist a wave of enemy attacks and knock them back.

Mission time: 6 hours.

Failure Penalty: Intermediate privileges are frozen for three years, and promotions cannot be made for three years!

Reward for completion: Raffle x1.

[Hint: The lottery can draw any kind of red alert unit attached to the intermediate authority.] 】

……

“……”

After reading the details of the mission, Lu Ping rarely fell silent.

It has to be said that the punishment for failure is very severe!

If he really can't be promoted to mid-level authority within three years, then his development will be greatly hindered, and even the pitiful advantage he has in the last days will be wiped out, and there is even a great possibility that he will be surpassed or even wiped out by the ambitious human race!

After all, his floating island fortress is so eye-catching that any human who sees it will probably think of taking it for himself, and he doesn't think that he can only recruit personnel units to fight the survivors who have planes and tanks.

Although he can temporarily hide in the depths of the ocean, the ocean is originally home to unknown creatures, and who knows if there are even more powerful unknown creatures there? For example, something similar to the Scaly Giant.

But it was clear that he had no choice.

Either develop silently on his own, and with his current energy point, he may be able to pay off his debts within half a year. Either he chooses to accept the promotion task and fight for it, and once completed, he will be one step closer to the future.

Lu Ping weighed it in his heart for a long time, and compared to the former, he felt that the latter was more reliable.

Because if you don't try, how can you know that you won't be able to finish it?

"I'm accepting the promotion mission!"

He took a deep breath and made a move that would make him feel very bold when he thought about it later.

"The mission is established, and there are still twelve hours left before the start of the mission. I'm going to give you Intermediate access for the time being, and I'm asking the Commander to build a line of defense as soon as possible to fend off the enemy's attack! ”

"Twelve hours? Enough is enough! ”

Lu Ping turned his head to look at Shirata Keiji and ordered, "The Red Queen has already agreed." ”

Shirata Keiji nodded, he had already received the message from the Red Queen, and he was even more in awe of Lu Ping at the moment, this was the first time he had seen him care so much for a person.

"I'm going to give you a mission, and in the next twelve hours, you must build me the most basic defense units! It doesn't matter if it's strong or not, but it must be practical! ”

"No problem, mission guaranteed!" Shirata Keiji nodded, he vaguely sensed a trace of nervousness in Lu Ping's voice, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and immediately ordered the assistant behind him to build fortifications.

After finishing the order, Shirata Keiji invited: "Commander, it will take some time to build a defensive unit, why don't you let me take you to familiarize yourself with the base?" ”

Lu Ping nodded, followed Shirata Keiji into an off-road vehicle, and headed towards the center of the floating island fortress.

[It's finally stamped, and it's starting to break out! ] 】
