Chapter 2: The Baptism of the Otherworld

"Where is this, I remember......" Tang Mu opened his eyes and found himself standing in a steel room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

His gaze fell on the steel mechanical arm, and then he looked to the side, and there was also a TJ64 humanoid mecha of the same model standing next to him, and the others also woke up, each seizing the time to familiarize himself with his new body.

The alloy door of the room suddenly separated, and a TJ series commander rack walked in, looked at the people who were familiar with the mecha, and transmitted the voice to everyone through the channel: "Welcome to the outpost Kodonia, I am Ouyang Ling, the person in charge here." Without further ado, please open the communicator and accept my posting of task information. The rest will be relayed to you by your captain, good luck. ”

After the commander issued the task, he left the room, and everyone noticed that there was an extra message in the upper right corner of the line-of-sight, and Tang Mu opened the envelope to check the mission information:

Quest E: Find the Dhara Grass.

The base requires one hundred and twenty live Dhara grasses, each of which earns 200 points and is recognized by the company as an explorer. After the collection is full, each plant is worth two points, and there is no upper limit.

Note: Each person must have at least 20 plants to complete the task

(The quest information also has a picture of the Dhara grass attached to it.) )

At this time, the door opened again, and two more mecha went out of the room, one also belonged to the TJ series captain body manufactured by Tianjian Company, and the other belonged to its own model. Looking at the weapons and equipment worn by the other party, Tang Mu felt like a poor ghost.

"I'm the person in charge of this operation, codenamed Wolf Fang."

After opening his mouth to the chief, everyone knew that the other party was the man who had received them before, and anyone who had been trained as an explorer knew that in this dangerous extradimensional world called Losomia, they usually used simple code names, and there was nothing surprising about it.

"I believe you have received the mission information from the commander. Finding Dhara grass is the easiest E-rank quest at the base. You must leave the base and look for the Dhara grass in the crimson land ahead, and only those who complete the mission will be considered to have passed the base's entrance examination, and will be insured for the death of the subsequent mission operations. ”

"Don't take it lightly with just the simplest task, you all know the danger of time in another dimension through training, the junior mecha that has not undergone any modification is like paper paste, and it can't withstand the attack, usually at least a third of the people will be brushed off in the initial mission, which means that 2 of you may die here, and you won't get any compensation from the company afterwards."

Wolf Fang glanced at the flock of sheep in the room with satisfaction, and continued: "Now you are familiar with your current body, and listen to me finish a few precautions, maybe you have already understood it in the previous training, but I still have to repeat it. ”

Notes:

The first point: mechas. The company will not provide these mechs for free, and everything will be liquidated after the mission is over, depending on the amount of ammunition consumed or the extent of damage to the mech. However, you can rest assured that if you are able to complete the mission successfully, this discount is nothing, and if you want better equipment, you will have to buy mission points from the base.

The second point: the soul card slot. Wolf Fang pointed to the chest of the mecha, and the position of the human heart continued: "Our consciousness has been completely separated, converted into electronic signals and stored in the chip, and embedded in the heart of the mecha as the core of the driving mecha, once the soul card slot is damaged, it means GAMEOVER, even if the mecha is completely destroyed, as long as the soul card slot is safe, it means that you are still alive."

Point 3: Teamwork. I don't care if you have a previous grudge or not, you must write it off here for the time being, and your companions may save your life in the near future. Once the mecha is damaged, it must rely on its companions to recycle the black box that stores the soul card slot, once the soul card slot cannot be recovered, the latter may cause a series of problems such as confusion and mental collapse of people, and even become a madman, there are too many cases of this kind of thing. In the absence of special circumstances, when you see the damage to your companion's mecha, you must recover the black box that stores the soul card slot as soon as possible. If someone destroys someone else's soul card slot for personal gain, or dies because of their opinion, once one of the above two situations is found out, you will be blacklisted, and no company will accept such a person.

Now, choose your own weapon, a gun, five magazines, and an alloy knife, and other weapons or bullets must be earned by paying points after completing the character.

Tang Mu took out the weapon from the steel frame that popped up next to him, made a few shooting movements, and found that the mechanical arm was not as agile as a human body. According to the information left by Tang Kun, a semi-automatic rifle was selected, the rate of fire was not fast, the accuracy was high, and the recoil was not too large, so as not to cause damage to the mechanical arm, and the lethality was also good.

After choosing their own weapons, everyone began to familiarize themselves with their firearms. I've played with guns in the past, but that's in the virtual world, which doesn't mean that I can simply do the same thing with mechas.

"You are in charge of this mission operation, and you can get five percent of everyone's mission points after completing it." Wolf Fang said to the TJ64 humanoid mecha beside him, turned and walked out of the room.

"Now I am taking over this mission, and I am now the acting captain Song Lin, codenamed Wuhua. Now report your name and code name from left to right. ”

"My name is Wang Huan, code name Gold Coin."

"Tang Mu, codenamed Black Cat."

"Bao Buping, code name Baozi."

"Zhou Jia, codenamed Red Moon."

"Li Qiangsheng, code name sheep."

Everyone reported the code name they had thought of in an orderly manner.

"There are still ten minutes to clean up before the mission starts. What questions do you have now, there are only two chances. ”

"I want to know what the points are for and how to get them." Gold coins were the first to ask questions. What is the ability to redeem credits?

"Uncreative questions." She commented, "Every time you complete a mission, you get mission points, which can be used to buy weapons, company merchandise, or strengthen your own mechs at the base." You should also notice that I have an automatic pistol in addition to a submachine gun, and the mecha has also been slightly modified to have an extra layer of armor on my chest, and I have a hand blade on my arm, which are all exchanged for mission points from the base, and it will take about 1,000 points. Mission Points can be stored or exchanged for federal credits at a rate of 1:1000. ”

"1000 points, a million federal points, why don't you leave?" Bao Buping couldn't help but ask.

"As I said, I'll just answer two questions."

Everyone was stunned, and the two opportunities to ask questions were wasted? As for the question raised by Baozi, it is really ridiculous in the eyes of everyone. Even if the other party doesn't say it, everyone knows that it is nothing more than for credits, and the higher the task points are, the higher the credits will naturally be.

Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the outpost occupied a large area, and there were at least a hundred people who stayed here for a long time, most of them were guards and researchers of Tianjian Company. The base is heavily defended, with alloy walls and power grid protection on the periphery, and patrolling guards inside, so it's no wonder that most of Tianjian's wealth is invested in this outpost, and once the base loses, it means that the company is about to go bankrupt.

Everyone passed through the heavily guarded gate, the steel gate in front of them opened every two hours, and outside the base was a sea of crimson trees, not so much trees as corals, and the strange vegetation growing on the bare red rocks was also the source of the red land.

"What a spectacular world!" Tang Mu looked at the blue void, and there was a huge planet hanging in the sky. This otherworld, known as Losomia, has no ozone layer, but the atmosphere contains poisonous gases that are unsuitable for human habitation, and in fact, the vegetation here is highly toxic to humans, and it needs to be refined to produce the materials needed by humans.

"Out of the outpost, no one will protect you, the mission begins, we must find 120 live Dhara grass in two days, now please look at the mecha energy bar in the lower right corner, each charge can last for eight to nine hours, after the energy is about to run out, you must return to replenish the outpost to re-energize, otherwise the mecha will be unable to move due to lack of energy. You need to pay attention to when the gates of the outpost are open. The dhara grass near the base is almost emptied, and in order to complete the task within the specified time, they must disperse their actions, and in case of danger, they call for help by radio to others. ”

After saying that, the acting captain Wuhua walked alone to the Crimson Land, and soon disappeared in front of everyone. Several other newcomers looked at each other, Tang Mu shook his head helplessly, and chose a direction to go. He had the details left by his father and knew more about the dhara grass than anyone else.

The red color of the dhara grass is related to the large amount of iron in the soil sac of the red land, and this type of plant can be regarded as a poisonous plant. In the early days, researchers found a substance called the Dhara factor in the leaves of Dhara grass, which can be used to make aphrodisiac agents with almost no side effects, which was welcomed by the upper echelons of the Federation, which is also the main product of Tianjian Company.

Dhara grasses generally grow in areas with high iron content, and can usually be found in red rocks. However, due to the wanton harvesting over the years, the dharagrass has become increasingly rare. Tang Mu left the outpost alone, and after some careful searching, he finally found two very ordinary plants by the rocks, with red leaves, as inconspicuous as weeds.

Tang Mu happily took out the culture flask, carefully dug out the plants and the soil bag underground, put it into the culture flask, and then stored the belt in the container. Just as he was rejoicing, a sheep's frightened cry for help came from the communication channel, and it was clear that he was in trouble.

After hearing the sheep's cry for help, the acting captain Wuhua immediately searched for the sheep's location and quickly made a correct judgment.

"The black cat is closest to me, and the two of us will be responsible for rushing to rescue the sheep."

Save, must be saved, Tang Mu also knew that he didn't have much choice, so he began to search for the coordinates of the sheep, and began to accelerate towards the location of the target radar red dot sheep. The mecha does not run fast, but it can last, he quickly found the vicinity of the coordinates, carefully raised the rifle, and slowly approached the target.

While searching for sheep, he encounters Misty Flowers, who also come to the rescue. After some searching, the two found a sheep mecha that was bound to the ground by a kind of red blood land. The fog flower suddenly fired several shots at the ground where the sheep was, and the ground suddenly joined together like petals, looking like a blood-red clam.

"He's okay!"

"I can't die yet." The fog flower raised and strafed towards the rhizome, and the combined petals finally opened, Tang Mu walked up and used the alloy knife to cut off the tentacles bound to the sheep mecha.

"Thank you, I thought I was going to die."

"Scarlet fangs, a carnivorous plant endemic to the Red Blood Lands, they usually trap their prey. You're lucky, the mech's right arm has been corroded, and the rest is in good condition. Wuhua stepped forward, used the alloy knife to open the rhizome part of the carnivorous plant, and took out a small mass of objects similar to a heart, the stomach of the blood-colored fangs, the place where the nutrients of the prey that are usually consumed are stored, should be able to exchange for some points, seeing that the other party wanted to swallow it alone, although Tang Mu was a little unhappy in his heart, he did not say it, after all, the prey was killed by the other party alone.

The attack on the sheep is just a small episode, and the task still needs to be continued. With this lesson, everyone cheered up, the mecha is not a human after all, it doesn't need to eat, and the body won't feel tired. As long as the mech is not damaged and has sufficient energy, it will continue to work.

The three of them separated again, Tang Mu continued to search for traces of plants, his goal was not only Dhara grass, other valuable vegetation would also be collected, and the outpost foundation would also be willing to pay the price to buy these things, which could be regarded as additional income outside the mission.
