Chapter XXXIII
Professor X: They are not fools.
The mysterious abilities of Shen Yi and others, the construction of super-tech warships, the long-term disappearance and appearance, the departure of the Pioneer, many things are revealing the secrets of this world to mutants.
With the release of technology and large-scale production by Norman Company, the world disasters caused by space instability are frequent, and Norman Company stopped production some time ago and began to prepare for relocation, and with the wisdom of Professor X and others, he became more aware of the unusual nature of things.
But it was Serena who really confirmed all of this.
At the behest of Shen Yi, Serena has been revealing everything about this world to teach them to X, intentionally or unintentionally.
Don't worry about leaks.
The existence of rules has its own meaning.
Just as Shen Yi once questioned whether the Bloody City had any reason to hide its existence from the Earth, it is neither meaningful nor necessary for the strong and weak parties to conceal their existence from the weak side.
It's stupid to keep a low profile for the sake of counterpoint.
It's boring to hide for the sake of concealment.
If the city does not allow adventurers to leak secrets, it is only because of the needs of the mission and the needs of the plot.
When the mission is over, nothing matters.
Bloody City doesn't have to care about the NPC's feelings, because if they want to, they can destroy the world with a wave of their hand, even if they know?
The people of the system star know their identity.
To paraphrase a modern idea: I am God, you are all God's created people, and those adventurers are my holy angels, and you have to serve them.
Is there a difference?
There is no god, and human beings are willing to bow down to God to worship, and the Supreme Council is at least much more real than an ethereal god.
Therefore, it is not a problem to leak secrets to NPCs, the problem is that leaking secrets does not mean that the other party will definitely believe it, believing does not mean that they will follow you, and being willing to go with you does not mean that it is unconditional......
Yes, taking away Professor X and other mutants is exactly one of the purposes of Shen Yi's personal visit.
The future development of the base will require a large number of manpower.
There are only six people in the Broken Blade team, and even if Zhao Ling'er and others are added, they are understaffed.
In order to get enough help, Shen Yi, the biggest human trafficker in the city, can be said to rack his brains, and finally hit the idea on Professor X and other mutants.
As generals who are already five difficulty, the strength of mutants is actually far inferior to them.
But after all, they are also the bosses of a world, they are plot characters, and they enjoy plot bonuses. Their bodies are only equivalent to ordinary people, and their abilities can reach four difficulty levels, which are also equivalent to two difficulty levels combined.
But most importantly, all mutants have one thing in common, which is that they are weak and powerful.
Their own weakness can be compensated for by equipment, but the powerful ability is inferior to many adventurers until now, at least Zhou Yiyu's metal control is far inferior to Magneto, and these bosses have no restrictions on whether they can attack people.
In the era of the sea of stars, ordinary soldiers can make up for it by arming themselves with technology, not to mention these mutants?
Not only that, but many special abilities were extremely desired by Shen Yi and them.
The easiest thing to do is activation.
If it weren't activated, Shen Yi's technological armament would not have been able to go all the way so smoothly, relying on the activation of the saved robots, in some respects even exceeded the number of production!
And it's not just Shen Yi who has activation!
Little Jerry's activation is more powerful than Shen Yi!
And in the world of mutants, little Jerry may not be the only one who has activation!
What does all this mean?
Of course, it is not an easy task to take them away.
This is not to say that the Supreme Council will not allow it.
The Supreme Council will not take measures to control the strength of adventurers, and it is always a principle of balance to control adventurers.
The principle of balance makes it necessary for an adventurer to gain followers, in addition to having a good opinion, to put in an effort equal to the strength of the target.
And in most cases, in the absence of a task, the stakes are quite high to gain followers through the principle of fairness.
For example, the 2nd Airborne Battalion only needs 15 points to summon a normal soldier when the opinion is full.
However, in the simulated world, buying a Soldier with points costs the equivalent of 250 points. Although the latter is stronger than the former, there should not be such a big gap, and the key to this difference lies in factors such as tasks, feelings, and needs.
System Star Soldiers have no feelings for adventurers, so everything has to be at the highest price. Of course, adventurers can also take the initiative to connect with each other and improve their friendship, but this simply does not work compared to thousands of people.
Because of this, adventurers will hardly buy NPCs in pure consumption mode, which is too expensive and too worthless.
Mutants are more powerful than system soldiers, and the points they need to earn far outweigh the help they can bring.
According to Shen Yi's calculations, mutants without plot bonuses need 10,000 points at the first level, and the points will be doubled for each level of promotion thereafter. There are 20,000 second-level mutants, 40,000 third-level mutants, 80,000 fourth-level mutants, and 160,000 mutants at level 5.
If it's a plot character with a plot bonus, it will be doubled.
320,000 to buy Professor X?
I'm sorry, but your psychic power may be strong, but it has little effect on high-level adventurers, so it's not worth it!
With this price, you can buy a good artifact.
So the price-performance ratio is the key that hinders all this.
The collapse of the home world gave Shen Yi such a chance.
As we know, under the principle of balance, there is also some room for bargaining, but the general background remains the same, and the space for counter-offer is limited, and Deccachin is the most typical example.
And under the premise that the home world is about to collapse, the big picture has changed.
At this time, the counteroffer space also increased suddenly, and Shen Yi took the knowing mutants away, and he no longer recruited simply, and he also had the meaning of saving people's lives.
This will make many mutants have a need to leave this world, and this demand is a discount on the price, so that Shen Yi can bring out the people he wants to bring out with relatively low chips.
Because of this, as Shen Yi spoke at this moment, Professor X and the others were obviously stunned.
They obviously didn't expect Shen Yi to say this, Professor X is now unable to see through Shen Yi's mind, in his telepathy, Shen Yi's mind is like being wrapped in a thick protective film, and he is not allowed to snoop at all.
Up to 800 points of mental resistance with will effect can resist even the attack of the Juggernaut, and Professor X can't invade, he can only feel the existence, but he can't enter.
Fortunately, he didn't want to attack, otherwise he would not be able to bear the backlash.
"You're going to let us go with you?" repeated Stormgirl in surprise.
"Yes, come with me out of this world that is about to be shattered. Shen Yi solemnly admitted.
"What about here? This is our home, what about the people here?"
"They will return to nothingness. Shen Yi replied, this matter can't be hidden.
"Can't you take them out too?" asked the Iceman with a frown.
"I'm sorry, anyone who is brought out of here will have to pay a corresponding price, my ability is limited, and it is impossible to bring out irrelevant people. ”
"So you only choose the people who are useful to you?" Wolverine shouted: "Don't think I don't know, this world is what you made it like, you made this world go to ruin, and now you want to blackmail us as a savior?"
"To be exact, it's because of us that you can live until now!" Shen Yi replied.
Without gentleness to make this world its home turf, this place would have been purged long ago.
"But you've ruined it again!"
"Not on purpose. Shen Yi spread his hands.
If he could, he didn't want this world to end like this, the Great Universe Project, if you stay for a month, you can produce several more warships, isn't it worth more than you?
Wolverine's expression, which has always been violent, has been distorted: "Don't you want to take advantage of the opportunity to control us! I won't follow you!"
Shen Yi noticed that Wolverine's favorability towards himself had plummeted from the part he had accumulated over the years to a negative number, and had turned into hatred.
This means that you will have to pay extra points to take this guy away, and your loyalty will not be high.
But Shen Yi didn't care.
He just glanced at Wolverine disdainfully and said, "You think too highly of yourself, Logan, I'm not interested in you." ”
"What?" Wolverine froze.
This time Shen Yi didn't lie.
He really didn't have any interest in Wolverine.
In the X-Men world, Wolverine may be strong, but in the eyes of the five-difficulty adventurers, he is a scumbag.
He may not be able to die, but he is also unlikely to pose any threat to adventurers or zergs.
For most adventurers, this is a troublesome guy who can still put together his own minced flesh after being defeated, but no matter how strong his regeneration ability is, it is impossible to kill him faster than the adventurer.
If the adventurer wants to, he can cut him into pieces and throw them into the boiler to burn, or simply throw them into the worm pile and give them to the worms to deal with him.
Such an existence has no value to the adventurer.
To be exact, with the mutant strength of the X-Men, the combat type is basically worthless.
Their strength is too weak.
The only ones that are really valuable are the auxiliary types.
For example, little Jerry.
Of course, weather control people like Storm Girl and Iceman Babi can also be useful, they can create a large area of slowing effect, and do some damage to the Zerg to a limited extent.
Magneto can help repair the battleship, especially some non-precision parts of the deformation wound, Professor X's mind control is useless to adventurers, but it may cut off the Hive's control over the Zerg.
Of course, only temporarily.
In short, they are all worth more than Wolverine.
But even so, if they can't understand their location and make a wrong judgment, resulting in the price required by the system being too high, Shen Yi will not hesitate to give up on them.
It is precisely because of this that Shen Yi does not hesitate to provoke them, but also to let them understand the situation.
“...... Now you get it? You're not as valuable as you think. After explaining to everyone the difference between the strength of mutants and the strength of adventurers, Shen Yi said, "So the truth is not a question of whether you are willing to go with me, but whether I am willing to take you away, Mr. Logan." ”
Saying that, Shen Yi casually put his hand on a chair, and the chair didn't move at first, and then it turned into debris all over the ground.
Magneto's eyes shrank suddenly, the opponent in front of him was many times stronger than the strength when he fought with him.
The current Shen Yi, as long as he wants, can easily penetrate the hundred layers of steel plates established by Magneto, and he can allow the metal objects controlled by Magneto, the ice picks of the icemen, or whatever they made to attack him without taking any damage.
"Then what time are you wasting here?" Wolverine glared at Shen Yi angrily, and at that moment he really wanted to stab his claws into Shen Yi's throat.
Shen Yi replied indifferently: "I didn't say that you are worthless, I just said that you are not as high as you think, so if you meet certain conditions, I can still save you...... Yes, please note this. Also, I personally have a small favor that I need the help of Professor Charles. ”
"What's the hurry?" said Professor X, still composed.
"Send a bulletin to mutants all over the world to tell them the truth about the world, tell them what is coming, and tell them the only way to survive...... Then it's up to them to decide whether to follow me or not. ”
This is Shen Yi's biggest purpose.
In the second part of the X-Men, General Trisk once tried to kill all mutants with the method of controlling Professor X, and Magneto tried to kill all humans with the same method.
With the help of a brainwave amplifier, Professor X can infinitely magnify the range of his mind control.
Shen Yi is not interested in the brainwave amplifier, because this thing can only amplify the range, it cannot enhance the damage, and it can only be used by Professor X, it is impossible to use it to kill any bugs or adventurers, but through it, the message that Shen Yi wants to convey can be conveyed to all mutants.
The rest is the choice.
Under the premise of the collapse of the world, I believe that many people will desperately want to escape from this world.
Shen Yi can freely choose any mutant like buying vegetables in the vegetable market.
He doesn't need the other party to be strong, and he doesn't need the other party to be a plot character, as long as he has the ability he needs, there is room for them to play.
"We're not going to help you. The little mischievous replied angrily.
"Not necessarily. This is a matter of saving people, every time one more mutant receives the news, they will get a chance to save themselves, Professor Charles will agree, right?" Shen Yi asked with a smile.
Charles was speechless.
Yes.
There was no reason why he couldn't say yes.
He could not let himself leave, but there was no reason for all the people in this world to die together.
People should always have the right to choose whether to live or not.
As a decent leader, there was no reason why Charles should not agree.
"I can help you with that. Professor Charles replied heavily: "But they may not believe all this." ”
Professor X knows all this because of his long-term contact with Norman over the years, his understanding of Shen Yi's behavior, and his gradual realization in the course of more than ten years of contact.
Many of those mutants don't really understand, and even if the professor tells them, they don't necessarily believe it.
Shen Yi replied: "They will believe it." In four hours, there will be an invasion of the world. Plants will grow wildly and become able to walk, the dead will come back to life and become devouring undead, giant metal machines with self-intelligence will run rampant across the world, toys will become legions of terror sweeping everywhere, angels with wings on their backs will descend, and the whole world will become a paradise of demons and monsters......"
"What did you say?" everyone looked at Shen Yi in disbelief.
"An invasion from another world is about to begin. Shen Yi replied: "Professor Charles, please release this news as well." After four hours, everything that happens will confirm your prophecy. Tell them that I'm here to wait for them. They don't have much time, and from the beginning of the invasion, this world has only 72 hours to live. The invasion of another world will temporarily solidify this space that is about to be destroyed, and all disasters will disappear temporarily. But after 72 hours, the space energy will be completely out of control, and at that time, the whole world will be destroyed. ”
Speaking of this, Shen Yi looked at Professor X: "At that time, only those who truly believe in me can leave here, the more devout the faith, the lower the chips I need to pay, and the higher the chance of being taken away by me." I brought in enough chips to know if there were enough mutants for me to choose from. ”
"The system doesn't deceive, there's no point in pretending, please think more about me. ”
"Those who know how to understand others will surely be able to be forgiven by others!"
"Value for money, that's the only key, and that includes you, Professor Charles, and Eric, Babi, all of you......"
