Chapter 270: Protective Shield

Through the interpretation of the information stored in the ring, Meng Ke knew most of the flower vine star, and also knew why it seemed that there was a sea of flowers as far as the eye could see, and there was no other life.

It turned out that the trading location of the Flower Vine Star was not on the surface, but underground-this point was not written in the Star Thieves Alliance's roaming guide, and it was no wonder that Meng Ke did not find the location of the trading place.

With a fierce contempt in his heart for the lifeform who wrote the Star Thief Alliance's roaming guide, Meng Ke led Lu Yue and the group of Terminators towards a huge flower that looked like a trumpet flower. In the information in the storage device there is a description of this flower, which is a flower designed to replace transportation.

As described in the description, this flower resembles a spaceship, a car, or a taxi, and in the center of its petals is a space with an area of about ten square meters, and the petals of this flower will close and seal when passengers sit in it, and then take passengers into the underground world, which is also a special vehicle for those small races.

As for those with large sizes, there are naturally large plant vehicles to replace them, and even those extreme evolutionary civilizations of the intelligent beast type that can reach tens of kilometers or hundreds of kilometers at every turn have transportation flowers suitable for them.

I have to say that the Flower Vine Clan is really a magical civilized race, and the seemingly weak flowers have become so diverse in their hands, which is really eye-opening

Flying into the sky, Meng Ke and his party fell to the inside of the flower along the mouth of the flower. Contrary to what you might expect, this morning glory-like flower is so flat on the inside that standing on it is like standing on flat ground.

After Meng Ke and his party fell here, they saw the petals behind them slowly closing. And as the petals closed, the ground under the feet of Meng Ke and his party also shook slightly, just like the elevator descending, if you look at it from the outside, you can see that the huge flower that was originally standing in the sea of flowers suddenly descended to the ground. And its open flowers were all closed at the moment, and in a matter of seconds, the whole flower was lowered into the ground along with the flower vines.

Amazingly, the ground where the flower was located was still intact, not even a single hole, and if it weren't for the bare absence of a trace of flowers and plants, I am afraid that one would have thought that the huge flower was an illusion.

The flowers fell quickly, and in less than three seconds, Meng Ke and his party saw the top of the flower room open again, as far as the eye could see. It's a soft glow.

Meng Ke knew that this was the time to arrive, he and Lu Yue glanced at each other, and the two flew out under the protection of the Terminator.

A Terminator was the first to fly outside, and after confirming that it was safe, Meng Ke and Lu Yue went outside under the protection of the Terminator.

As far as the eye can see, it is gorgeous.

The Underworld is basically the same as the Overland World, but in addition to flowers, there are some other plants, such as purple trees. The blue hanging baskets, the lotus leaves swimming in the water like fish, and the small trees that sparkle everywhere in the sky are dazzling to watch.

Other than that, the underworld is noticeably more cluttered than the surface world. The lifeforms of the major civilizations that disappeared on the ground appeared here, but the difference was that they were all small civilizations, and those who were big didn't see a few, and they didn't know if they couldn't get in or what.

Fall steadily to the ground. Meng Ke opened the navigation system in the ring and followed the instructions on it to go straight to the store that sold the protective shield.

It took just over two hours to gallop all the way. After several transfers, Meng Ke and his party came to the door of a huge underground factory.

This is the place where all kinds of plant-based shields are sold, and it is also a prestigious location among the trading stars of the Flower Vine Star - because here, even the plant-based shields of the early level 5 civilization can be bought, as long as you can come up with the right price.

Because of this, this factory has become the most popular place in the Flower Vine Star Trading Market, and some civilized races with a little background will come here, even if you can't buy the protective shield of the early civilization of the fifth level, it is worth the price to buy some protective shields of other levels.

Because the shield technology of the Flower Vine Star is notoriously good, even the protective shield of the same level of technological civilization is slightly inferior to the plant protective shield of the Flower Vine Clan, and even within the Star Thief Alliance, there is such a rumor: The Flower Vine Clan may not be the race with the strongest combat power, but it must be the race with the strongest defensive power.

In the same way, the strongest defense race will naturally have the strongest protective shield manufacturing factory, and the protective shield factory that Meng Ke and his party found is a branch of one of the top companies of the Huateng Clan

Walking straight into the factory gate, the scene inside is on one side, and the inside, which originally looked a little depressed from the outside, is full of people, and it is almost a crowded scene. If Meng Ke hadn't turned off the sound receiving device on the exoskeleton power armor helmet, I'm afraid his ears would have been deafened by that powerful volume, because in addition to ordinary civilized races, there are also many extreme evolution civilizations of the intelligent beast race type here, and that loud voice can be imagined......

Squeezing through the crowded crowd, Meng Ke followed the guidance of the navigation and walked towards the depths of the factory.

There is no need for a special map here, because there is a detailed record of this place in the navigation ring provided by the Flower Vine Clan for free, including which place is the production workshop, which place is the trading area or which place sells high-end items, etc., all of which have detailed records, which is much better than the Rheinsain Star.

After all, on the planet Rheinsain, you need to recruit new maps no matter where you are, and if you want to enter an extremely important or high-level place, you have to pay a deposit to enter. Hanato Star is different, it can be said that all the places here are free to enter, and there is no need to pay an additional deposit or anything like that.

Maybe it's also in the spirit of a love to buy and buy and watch you if you don't buy it, or maybe the Huateng clan is too lazy to do this, so there will be rules that are completely different from those of the Rheinsain Star.

Anyway, this was convenient for Meng Ke, and he directly followed the navigation and twisted it several times, and Meng Ke finally came to a façade.

This is the factory's built-in shop and where high-grade shields are sold. The lowest shield in it also contains the biological technology of the mid-level 4 civilization, and the highest is the protective shield at the beginning of the 5th level, but it is generally regarded as a treasure of the town, and few civilized races can afford the high price.

And what can be paid is either a fifth-level civilization, or some civilization races whose strength itself is strong, and the protective shield is dispensable, after all, which powerful civilization race does not have its own hole cards? If it weren't strong enough to a certain extent, even if the protective shield of the Flower Vine Clan was stronger than theirs, it wouldn't be worth buying.

What's the use of a stronger shield? Procrastinating a little? It doesn't seem to be of any use.

As for those low-level civilized races. They want it, and they need it very much, but their heritage is not very strong, and it is one thing to not be able to afford it, and it is another thing to not have enough energy reserves.

Even if those civilized races were able to buy protective shields at the beginning of the fifth-level civilization, it was not certain that they would have such a huge amount of energy to urge them. Maybe the Star Battleship can do this, but it can only be done, and it doesn't necessarily last as long as it can last.

Again, even if they have the energy to activate that shield. They don't have the money to buy it, so it's still useless, and there's no other way than to get over it.

Today, however, the store is destined for a sales peak.

Meng Ke took Lu Yue and the Terminators directly into the store. At that moment, a tree-shaped vegetative man greeted him, and he called it a "tree man".

"Hello distinguished guest, is there anything I can serve you?" The voice of the tree man entered the signal receiver of the exoskeleton power armor worn by Meng Ke through the radio, and was translated into speech and entered Meng Ke's ears.

Meng Ke turned off the shield on the sound receiver. He said, "I want to take a look at the protective shield of the fifth-level civilization in your shop. ”

"Huh?"

The tree man was stunned for a moment, and then said with a serious face: "This guest, are you sure you want to see that?" ”

"How. Didn't you claim to have a plant-based protective shield from the early stage of a fifth-level civilization? Is that just a façade? Meng Ke's words were unceremonious, making the tree man's face a little embarrassed.

"Don't get me wrong, this guest, that's not what I meant. It's just that the shield at the beginning of the fifth level civilization is not an ordinary item, and if you want to watch it, you must also show proof that you have purchased such an item. Please know that this is not for you alone, but for the rules of the store. The Treant quickly explained.

"Is it okay to ruin civilization?" Meng Ke nodded knowingly, and then asked.

The Treant paused for a moment and said, "It depends on what level it is." ”

"The relics of the civilization of the seventh-level civilization."

"What?!" The treeman's eyes widened suddenly, and it took a long time to calm down, and he apologized, "I'm really sorry, I was a little out of shape just now." But...... I'm afraid this is not enough, you know, even if it is a civilization relic of a seventh-level civilization, there are great risks inside. ”

"Well, it's fine." Meng Ke waved his hand in understanding and said, "Then is it okay to have a fifth-level civilization's technology tree?" ”

"Yes, you'll need to show a complete level 5 early creature civilization tech tree." The Treant nodded.

"No problem." Meng Ke said this, and stretched out his right hand, and a small memory card appeared in his palm.

"That's a third of that tech tree, you can test it." Meng Ke handed the memory card to the tree man and said.

"Okay, please wait." The Treant immediately took the memory card and went backstage.

In just a few minutes, the tree man walked out of the background again, and said with a respectful face: "This guest, the scientific and technological information you gave has been checked, and it is indeed part of a complete fifth-level civilization early technology tree, now please follow me, and I will take you to choose a protective shield." ”

"Okay." Meng Ke agreed, and followed the tree man to the backstage.

Contrary to what you might expect, the backstage of this store is actually a small room with nothing but three transparent counters. Meng Ke noticed that there were three seeds in each of the three transparent counters, which were green, purple and red, and their shapes were also different.

"This guest, please see, those three counters are the protective shields of the three existing plant-based fifth-level early civilizations in this store. The first green seed is called the Guardian Tree, which can reach a height of up to 3 billion kilometers and cover several star systems with leaves that cover a large number of star systems.

There is a second one, this purple seed called Oni Vine. When it grows up, the ghost vine can not only wrap an entire star system with its vines, but it can also use its strong and thick vines to attack when necessary, not to mention others, even ordinary battleships in the early stage of the fifth level civilization must temporarily retreat under its vine attacks.

As for the third red seed, it is a new product in our store, and it has no name yet, it is a flower. After cultivating, the petals of this flower can protect up to several star systems after blooming, and at the same time, the pollen of this flower can also be used as a weapon to attack, a single pollen can be broken into hundreds of millions of smaller pollen after being hit by enemy fire, causing secondary damage to the enemy, and the power is much stronger than the ghost vine, I don't know which one you like? ”

The tree man led Meng Ke to the three counters, and before Meng Ke could ask, he introduced him aloud.

After some introduction by the tree man, Meng Ke also has an understanding of the performance of the three kinds of protective covers, and now it seems that the first type of guardian tree has the lowest ability, and the price is the cheapest, although it is modeled after the World Tree, it is only made by looking at the oil painting of the World Tree.

The second kind of ghost vine is not bad, but compared to the nameless flower in the back, it seems to be a little dwarfed by the introduction.

So in an instant, Meng Ke determined the goal and asked, "What is the price of the third type of protective cover?" I'm talking about the tech tree. ”

"If that's the case, you'll need two complete technology trees from the early stage of a fifth-level civilization." Treant said.

"It's too expensive." Meng Ke's voice was a little displeased, and he said, "A complete protective shield in the early stage of the fifth-level civilization, is it sold or not?" ”

"No, no, this guest, your way of bargaining really scares me." The tree man hurriedly shook his head, and said in his heart, how could there be such a bargain.

If this can be sold, he might as well just say that he is half price, how can he use Meng Ke as an example. (To be continued......)
