Chapter 8: Simulated Combat

The next day, Tang Mu met with the Prairie Eagle at the agreed place. There were only a few people enjoying breakfast in the www.biquge.info restaurant, Tang Mu found the grassland eagle who was drinking black tea in the corner, the food in the teacup had bottomed out, and the other party had been here for a while.

"Sorry, I'm late." Tang Mu looked at each other, scratched the back of his head and said.

"I've just arrived." Prairie Eagle stuffed the last half of the cake into his mouth, drank the black tea in the cup, looked at the black cat with interest, and motioned for the other party to sit down and talk.

Tang Mu sat down opposite the Prairie Eagle and asked the waiter at the restaurant for black tea and chocolate cake. Getting up in a hurry in the morning, he couldn't find a topic to communicate with the other party, hesitantly stirred the black tea in the cup, raised his head and said, "I...... I have a question. What happened to the previous shooting...... That, I know the league explicitly forbids it...... Cannibalism. He thought about it for a long time and found a word that barely fits.

"Black cat, you suspect that the person who shot you was me." Prairie Eagle didn't blame Tang Mu in his words, picked up the black tea just brought by the waiter again, and said with a smile: "As the person concerned, you have more right to doubt than anyone, after all, that armor-piercing bullet destroyed the black box on the mecha by a few centimeters, and ordered your life, so I would have the same idea." You're right, the Mecha Alliance does clearly stipulate that all pioneers are forbidden to 'kill each other' in the other world, and the black box will record the reason for the damage to the mecha, and if necessary, the alliance can learn everything through the black box, and if it is found that there is a malicious attempt to kill the same kind, it will be punished with the most severe punishment. ”

"But ......"

"Are you trying to say why this is happening?" Prairie Eagle saw through Tang Mu's thoughts, put down the teacup, fiddled with the cheesecake that the waiter had just served, and continued: "The alien world is like this cake in the eyes of everyone, but the cake is so big, many people want to monopolize it, and the opponents of Tianjian Pharmaceutical Company naturally don't want Tianjian Pharmaceutical Company to go too smoothly, so they all find some greedy pioneers to act as hunters to prevent the daily operation of the other party's company." ”

"Oh!" Tang Mu seemed to understand and agreed. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a relationship of interests.

"The task given to me by the upper echelons of the Tianjian Company is to escort the extract of the Dhara grass to the terracotta fortress, which is seven days away from the outpost, and bring the items back to the Overworld through the dimensional teleportation of the mecha company. Are you wondering: why did the Prairie Eagle reveal classified mission information to you? Actually, this was originally your mission, and if it were as originally planned, the Wolf Fang would follow you to ensure that this mission was successfully completed. Now because of the appearance of the enemy hunter, the situation is extremely bad, and the other party will definitely do everything possible to block it on the way to ensure that the Dhara grass cannot be sent back to the main world smoothly. Hunters usually do not hesitate to kill the escorts, vainly trying to take the mission items for themselves, and all the companies will hire me, knowing that the extract of the Dhara grass that we are about to escort can create billions of credits for Tianjian. ”

Billions of credits!

Tang Mu's head was dizzy when he heard this huge astronomical number, although acting as a hunter was a risk, it was also an opportunity to get rich in an instant, no wonder so many people would take risks. Now, Tang Mu was more and more worried about his situation, the hunters hiding somewhere in this land could show their fangs at any time and launch a deadly attack on them, even if the steppe eagle was an experienced pioneer, he still couldn't guard against it.

"In fact, most of the pioneers died at the hands of their companions." Prairie Eagle said in disgust: "There is nothing more disgusting than being shot black by a companion." When those people succeed in a sneak attack, they will immediately destroy the opponent's black box and kill everyone who knows what is going on. Some people who are cornered will self-exile, because the Mecha Alliance will thoroughly investigate this kind of thing, all the black boxes on the mecha have the same function, the exiled people cannot return to the main world through the base of the Mecha Alliance, once captured, even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will still be banished, just like those who are not able to recover the black box, the rest of their lives will be spent in the dark abyss. ”

"The sniper who attacked you hid in the shadows and didn't dare to show his face, once the opponent's mecha was recorded, it would be completely finished, and most of the mecha that didn't come into contact with each other would not be checked by the mecha alliance."

After getting the other party's explanation, Tang Mu suddenly realized, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and found that the black tea in the cup was already cold. Tang Mu hurriedly swallowed the cake and black tea and simply ended breakfast.

After breakfast, the Prairie Eagle invited Tang Mu to go to the training ground together. It was an eggshell-shaped square, and when you walked in, it was very spacious, with resting tables and chairs in the center of the square, and eight huge screens on it, each screen was divided into twelve areas, most of the screens were dark, and several of the bright screens showed a man holding a gun and fighting a winged flying snake-like monster.

"It's a real simulation." Prairie Eagle explained to Tang Mu: "Whether it is the weight of the guns, the player's physique, the strength of the monsters, and the layout of the scene are all virtual and realistic, except for the pain being weakened by 90%, many people in the main world like this exciting game." Of course, in the game, players don't have to worry about their lives being in danger and enjoy the battle. ”

At this time, Tang Mu looked at the screen, a middle-aged soldier was split by a flying snake, and a GAMEOVER picture appeared on the game screen, and in the next few seconds, he saw the middle-aged soldier walking out of the preparation room intact.

"The game was originally developed to train the trailblazers. Facing the creatures of this world without mecha is very different from the difficulty of the main world, and the monsters in the game are all 100% restored. Most ordinary people can't hold on for a few minutes. Black cat, you can go in and give it a try! Prairie Eagle pointed to the entrance of the preparation room and said to Tang Mu with a smile.

Tang Mu followed the advice of the steppe eagle and entered the maintenance room, the space inside was not small, there were many weapon shelves on both sides, he picked up a gun casually, and found that these weapons were very heavy, and there were no eyes in the parameter settings and images, Tang Mu selected the shape armor again, used the same weapon as the previous mecha, and determined the start of the game on the console. The walls around the preparation room suddenly disappeared, and Tang Mu went in to find himself on a familiar terracotta land.

There is a wilderness in front of you, with the terracotta unique to this world at your feet, and the sparsely vegetated forest in front of you, and the silence all around. Tang Mu held his gun and raised twelve points of vigilance, if there was any movement around, he would be counterattacked by thunder.

Before he could make progress, a flying snake appeared in his field of vision, Tang Mu instinctively raised it, and shot violently in the direction of the flying snake's attack. In just a few seconds, the magazine was emptied, and the flying snake was smashed into a sieve by the barrage, fell to the ground and disappeared into a ray of white light.

"That's it." Tang Mu gasped for breath, quickly reloaded his firearm with magazines, stared at the place where the corpse of the flying snake disappeared, and frowned, there were still three magazines left on his tactical belt, counting the magazines just now, there were only one hundred and sixty bullets left, according to this way, at most killing ten flying snakes, it would consume all the bullets in the body, there was nothing worse than fighting with bare hands.

The second flying snake refreshed on time, aimed at the flying snake and pulled the trigger, there was still a distance of thirty meters between the two sides, the bullet successfully hit, but did not kill the target, the flying snake still approached quickly, at most, it would not take ten seconds at most, it would come to Tang Mu's side.

Bang!

Another bullet hit, the target is still there, Tang Mu is not sure where the vital point of the flying snake is set, usually the weakness of some virtual monsters is based on the reality template.

Seeing that the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, Tang Mu was anxious, switched the gun to semi-automatic mode, and fired a series of barrages, ending the flying snake three meters away. He waited in place for a while, the stronghold was not refreshing the new flying snake, and Tang Mu had to continue to advance.

As soon as he stepped into the forest, he found that there were more monsters around him, this time he encountered not flying snakes, but a group of giant dinosaurs, a total of three, exactly the same as the previous encounter, in the real face of such a monster, Tang Mu is not a body of steel now, consciousness has distanced himself to avoid the danger of being disemboweled, even if it is just a game, he does not want to have such an experience.

Raise the flat shot, with the help of the shape armor, but the opponent is surprisingly sensitive, dodging most of the bullets, and ordinary bullets that hit the skin cannot hurt the opponent.

The three-headed Pang Dire Beast had already approached quickly, raising its claws to surround and kill Tang Mu. The next moment, Tang Mu fell, he suddenly lost consciousness and was sent out of the maintenance room.

"One minute and thirty seconds, shorter than expected." The Prairie Eagle walked towards Tang Mu sullenly, smiling and comforting. "You didn't move purposefully, but ran into the forest, and unluckily encountered a three-headed dinosaur, and your body was gloriously dismembered." He pointed to the bloody skeleton that was eaten on the virtual screen and said to Tang Mu. "You don't need to be sad about this kind of rudimentary mistake that only a novice rookie would make, after all, it's your first time using it, it's really a simulation." He patted Tang Mu on the shoulder, and then walked into the maintenance room.

In a few minutes, the game really began, and the steppe eagle was almost as well equipped as him. It's just that at the beginning of the game, the steppe eagle looks around, and then you stay in place for about thirty seconds before officially setting off. Tang Mu didn't know the Prairie Eagle's intentions, but he heard someone behind him say: "That person is confirming the outflow of the mission, and he is a pioneer who has been ordered by experience." ”

After the steppe eagle set off, the road was very smooth, he was able to kill a flying snake with almost a few shots, after killing a large number of flying snakes, the steppe eagle suddenly changed direction and entered the forest, his luck was good, he met a dinosaur, three shots beat it into a ray of white light, and then continued to move forward, killing along the way, and finally the game stopped, brushed out a large row of numbers to settle the situation of the battle and bullet consumption just now, and the final score stayed at three thousand six points, and the last evaluation given by the brain was A, According to the person behind Tang Mu, it was because of injuries and the use of high-priced weapons that he could not reach S.

"Every qualified pioneer must be clear about his goals at the first time, execute according to the plan, and ensure the smooth progress of the task." The Prairie Eagle sat down beside Tang Mu with some gasp, teaching in the tone of his senior. He raised his head, looked at the man behind Tang Mu, and asked, "By the way, this is ......"

"...... Li"

"Black cat."

"Prairie Eagle, from the White Raven. Next up is our most likely companion. Prairie eagles stretched out their hands to greet each other in a friendly manner.

"I don't think we have a chance." When Li shook hands with his hands, he explained awkwardly: "My mecha was destroyed not long ago, and I won't participate in the final mission, and ...... Nothing, I'll go first. ”

The atmosphere at the scene was a little weird, and before Li left, Prairie Eagle said with disdain: "That man was frightened, he was too timid, he would never be a pioneer in this life, it is estimated that he had decided to give up the task after learning about the hunter." ”

Tang Mu was silent, and did not react to the slightly caustic tone of the Prairie Eagle, this is the choice of most people, risk the danger to make a fortune in this world, who wants to do the work that risks their lives all day long?

He didn't think so himself!
