In his spare time outside the fortification, Shen Yi also visited many old friends.

Zhou Hao of the Yunhai team entered the fifth difficulty in the early stage, the colonel also went there, and the evil emperor entered three days early, obviously trying to avoid him.

But no matter what, Shen Yi will at least not be too lonely in the world of five difficulties.

There's also Meryl.

The five-difficulty task lasted for a year, and it was synchronized with the real world, so she was still there fighting the Zerg - Zhou Yiyu was very happy about this, because he had another chance, and he didn't know if he would react if he touched her now.

For the same reason, Shen Yi and them are estimated to be able to wait for Lao Meng and others in the second half of the five difficulty times.

Cliff and Hua Tianrui both have one more mission world to enter, the difference is that Cliff is already the sect leader, while Hua Tianrui is still the heir - his teacher and dragon alliance leader is still in the fifth difficulty.

The leisurely years always pass quickly, and before you know it, the one-month vacation passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is time to enter the world of five difficulties.

The Blood Emblem sent a notice to Shen Yi a day in advance, but it was of little value, after all, the world has not changed, and the missions have not changed, it is nothing more than two main quests and a one-year residency period.

Therefore, everyone did not make any special preparations, but just got together for a barbecue party that night, reminiscing about the years along the way, lamenting the hard experience, and at the same time completely relaxing the tense spirit.

Everyone drank a little too much that night, and no one restrained themselves, but deliberately let alcohol dominate their whole body.

The result of a hangover is not a headache, but a mess.

When he woke up in the morning, Shen Yi found that Wen Rou and Zhao Ling'er were stuck to him like an octopus, and the 3P in his dream was suddenly completed like this, and Shen Yi couldn't help but feel heartfelt happiness. The two girls probably woke up too, but they didn't move, just pretending to be asleep, only their eyelids blinked, and Shen Yi didn't break them, just kissed one of them lightly on the face.

"Ahh

Shen Yi put on his clothes and went over, only to see Hong Lang pinching the fat man's neck with his bare body and yelling: "Say, what did you do to me last night?"

"I didn't do anything!" The fat man rolled his eyes when he was pinched: "I drink very well, and I sleep directly when I get drunk, what did you do to me, right?"

"Are you sure?" Hong Lang let go.

He touched his buttocks: "Then why do I think my ass hurts a little?"

The fat man and Hong Lang looked at each other, then shouted "ah" together and rushed out of the room.

"......" Shen Yi patted his forehead helplessly.

In the other room, King Kong walked out with Tina in his arms, looked at the backs of the two and smiled, "Another unforgettable night, right?"

"That's right...... Where is Yiyu?

In the yard, he didn't go back to the house, and slept in the open all night. ”

“...... Looks like you didn't drink much yesterday. ”

"Actually, I drank too much, and it was Tina who brought me back, and Yiyu also wanted to climb in at that time, but fortunately Tina threw him out. It's good she's sober, otherwise ......," King Kong replied.

Shen Yi paused, finally laughed, turned around and went into the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone.

After breakfast, everyone went to the interstellar world together.

Passing through that gate of light, everyone has entered the interstellar world.

Unlike before, they appeared directly in a large hall this time, which looked like a high-tech ground command center, with countless instruments in it, and some people in white robes and coats were walking around inside, talking to each other.

A middle-aged woman in a white lab coat wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked directly towards Shen Yi and them: "Welcome to the simulated world, generals." ”

Shen Yi and the others looked at each other, only to find that they were standing on a platform at the moment.

The platform looked somewhat similar to the Optical Teleportation Platform, except that it was noticeably more complex in terms of facilities, and the people around them were not surprised by their presence, with some soldiers in military uniforms even saluting when their eyes swept over.

"Don't be surprised, several. The middle-aged woman stood in front of them and said, "This is no longer the world you experienced in the past, from the moment you stand here, it means that you have completed the transformation from a soldier to a general, and have become a real warrior who can resist the Zerg." Although this is only a simulated battlefield, it will no longer rely on missions to command you as in the past......"

Shen Yi somewhat understood: "It's like a recruit who has completed training and started to go to the battlefield, and everything is starting to get closer to the truth, right?"

"Yes, several, welcome to the interstellar battlefield. The middle-aged woman smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "My name is Louise, and I am the guide of the central base, responsible for guiding every general who has just come here to report." If there is anything you can ask me at any time, I will do my best to answer it for you. ”

"Central Base?" Shen Yi walked off the platform and looked around the hall.

It does look like a control hall here, there are screens everywhere, some screens are still fighting, countless soldiers are fighting against the Zerg, it really looks like the world of "Star River Troopers", the only difference is probably those adventurers who are brave in the swarm, Shen Yi saw that several adventurers were attacking with all their strength and fighting with a group of bugs, all kinds of skills were wild, and the scene was extremely bloody.

"Yes, this is the central base of the human side. Louise rubbed her glasses and replied, "Every new general who joins the battlefield will be the first to enter here, and then I will be in charge of explaining everything to them." ”

"Then you are ......," King Kong asked after a moment's hesitation.

"NPC, that's what you call humans created by the system, right?" Louise laughed, she clearly knew who she was, "yes, I'm an NPC, and the rest of them, just like me, we're all NPCs, and it's our responsibility here to cooperate with you and get rid of those damn bugs." But unlike those ignorant NPCs, I know where I come from, what kind of existence I am, and what I mean to exist. ”

"Then you're happier than they are. Shen Yi said.

"That's true. Louise laughed, "Then please come with me." ”

Louise had already taken the lead.

Shen Yi's gaze lingered on the hall screen for a moment, and then followed the woman out of the hall.

Passing through the corridor, they had come to another hall.

The hall was empty, except for a three-dimensional projector in the center.

Louise walked to the three-dimensional projector and gently pressed the button on it, and a bright light curtain had spread out in all directions, and it was a galaxy reflected in people's eyes.

Shen Yi only felt that something in his body moved slightly, as if it wanted to resonate with this galaxy, he knew that it was the universe in the depths of his soul, and hurriedly suppressed it. Fortunately, this resonance was only the first wave, and it quickly disappeared.

Louise stood in the middle of the galaxy and said, "Look, everyone, this is the interstellar world we are in. ”

"Hell, that's a lot bigger than I thought. Zhou Yiyu muttered, there are at least thousands of stars shining in this galaxy projection, and it is estimated that it is at least the size of a solar system.

"So where are we?" asked Shen Yi.

Louise tapped on one of the planets, and the planet was instantly enlarged and presented to everyone like a ball: "This is the main star of South Burley, that is, the planet where the central base is located, so it is also called the central star or main star, and it is the most important and core part of the entire simulated world." ”

Following the enlarged planet, Shen Yi saw that the entire main star was densely packed with almost all kinds of defensive forts. In the very center of the main planet is a vast complex of buildings like a city, and in that complex, there is a tall tower that looks quite similar to the Tower of Babel in the city.

As if seeing Shen Yi's doubts, Louise pointed to the complex and replied: "Yes, this is the central base, and as for this tower, it is the core system, which is where we are now." ”

"Are we in the system?" exclaimed the crowd.

Shouldn't the system be the most critical and the most secretive, and how can adventurers be allowed to appear directly inside the system?

As if seeing everyone's doubts, Louise smiled: "The system is not a separate existence, to be precise, the entire interstellar world is actually a system, but the part responsible for each position is different." We might as well understand it this way, the whole system area is the C drive of the computer, and in the C drive, there are many executable files. We are now in one of those documents. If those bugs are viruses, then you are responsible for the anti-virus, and we are one of the foundations on which this document is built, and we are responsible for supporting you. So I want to ask a few people to enter from here first, and then make an appropriate choice after understanding the situation of the whole system. ”

"Let's talk about the specifics. ”

Louise clicked with her hand, and the magnified host star was shrunk again, replaced by a cluster of planets orbiting the host star.

"This is where the generals are, please see, there are currently twelve planets controlled by the generals, each ......"

"Twelve?" Hong Lang cried out, "But I heard that humans and Zerg each account for half of the country. ”

"Half of the area under control. In fact, the vast majority of the planets in this world are non-occupied, and there are no people there, including bugs. Louise replied, "The world we live in is so big that we may not be able to explore it in a lifetime, whether it is the real world outside or this simulated world." The long-term war and the limited number of troops make it impossible for either humans or the Zerg to expand without scruples. It is the common choice of both sides to properly concentrate forces to protect the existing territory, and then slowly expand in battle. However, because of the vast distance, the vast area, the expansion seems so insignificant in the eyes of this world. ”

"What's more, not every planet is suitable for survival, even if we are already superhuman. Shen Yi pointed to one of the stars and said.

Louise laughed, "You're right, so the battlefield is still unfolding on this finite planet after all. Look, these twelve planets are what we humans currently occupy. This is Andromeda, this is Dragonus, this is Defender One, this is Defender Two......"

Louise introduced the twelve planets occupied by humans to the Broken Blades one by one, most of them are not large, the largest is about the size of half a earth, and the smallest asteroid is about the size of two China. Each planet is topped with a number of red flags, each of which represents a force of adventurers.

Most of these planets are around the central main star, forming an arch posture, and once the Zerg want to attack, they must first rush through the blockade of these moons.

And there are some planets beyond those moons, which are dense blue dots, which are occupied by the Zerg.

Shen Yi counted it, there were about 1,400 red flags, slightly more than Shen Yi expected, but the gap was not big, but there were nearly 3,000 blue flags.

If a blue flag represents a brood, then the strength of the Zerg can be imagined.

"So it looks like we're going to choose one of these planets as our station?" Shen Yi asked.

"Yes. Louise replied, "Even on the twelve occupied planets, there are still large tracts of unoccupied open space. So except for the areas that have already been occupied by the generals, all the other empty areas can be selected by the generals themselves. Once you've chosen your territory, you can redeem it in the central main system. ”

"What do I need to exchange?"

"A lot. The first thing to exchange is the energy converter......" Louise explained to Shen Yi.

As we know from Hua Tianrui, the energy converter is the foundation for adventurers to obtain resources.

The efficiency of energy conversion depends on many aspects.

The level of energy converter - energy converter is also divided into high, medium and low, the more advanced the energy converter, the higher the conversion efficiency.

The size of the energy conversion field - the more energy converters in the same area, the lower the conversion efficiency. This is like the current broadband Internet access is all about pursuing private lines.

The efficiency of the energy converter operator - the energy converter needs to be operated by manpower, and the number and efficiency of the operator directly determine the efficiency of the energy conversion.

The location of the energy transformation territory - not all locations have the same energy. It's like people in the inland can't compare the price of seafood with people at the seaside, and a good location can also bring higher conversion efficiency.

The above four points determine the efficiency of energy conversion, and at the same time, adventurers are faced with different choices.

For them, the closer they are, the greater the safety factor, but at the same time, the lower the conversion efficiency. And the more energy-rich the area, the more likely it is to cause war.

Therefore, the choice is extremely contradictory, and it is precisely because of this that Shen Yi will see that the flags on each planet are sparse, the weaker they are, the more they must unite together, and the stronger they are, the more they dare to occupy the territory alone, and at the same time, there are constant wars.

At this time, Louise had already taken out a small pale yellow bead, which looked a little like the Eye of Hades that Shen Yi had seen at the beginning, but it was slightly smaller.

Louise said: "This is the energy bead obtained through the energy converter, which is a standard unit of energy, and each bead can be exchanged for 10,000 points. Each point can be exchanged for ten points, or one hundred Star Alliance currency. ”

"Interstellar Alliance?" Shen Yi noticed the word.

"Yes, the Interstellar Alliance. Louise affirmed: "This is not an unorganized and loose world, the Interstellar Alliance is the supreme organization of mankind here, and it is the Supreme Council that oversees the entire Interstellar Alliance. ”

"The Supreme Council...... You mean......"

"Your Supreme Council, and our Supreme Council!" Louise replied, "whether you or I, we are subject to the administration of the Supreme Council, and if necessary, the Supreme Council will give orders to all the generals, and must be completed." ”

As soon as she said this, everyone was speechless.

I thought that this so-called interstellar alliance was the spontaneous organization of the NPCs in this world, but I didn't expect it to be directly led and run by the Supreme Council, which means that here, it's not that there are no tasks here, but the Supreme Council skips the system and starts to manage directly.

Louise continued, "The Alliance currency is used to recruit people from this world. The installation of energy converters, the construction of defenses need to be manned to take care of them, and even the defense of the province requires the assistance of soldiers, and the Alliance currency is the basic unit of mercenary personnel. ”

"Otherwise, the generals can choose to redeem points or points for whatever facilities they need. Please note, however, that all items redeemed with points cannot be taken out of this world. Of course, you can also choose to exchange points for points, but I would suggest that you don't do that either, as it means that you will have much less facilities to redeem, and the Zerg will love to launch a surprise attack while the new generals are still on their feet. ”

"In addition, the price of items exchanged with points and items exchanged with points will be different, especially for some consumable items, the price will increase sharply, and it may be similar to the number of points used, and the corresponding merit will be required. So the idea of exchanging points for consumables is not suitable. ”

"Thank you for your pointers, I see. Shen Yi replied: "May I ask what is the meritorious?"

"Meritorious service is your contribution to killing the enemy. Although there are no physical rewards for killing Zerg in this world, killing Zerg can still get war contributions. War contributions determine your rank increase, and it also increases your authority. ”

"So that's the case, that is to say, the promotion of military rank here is no longer calculated by task, but by killing enemies? ”

"Not really, General. Louise said: "Killing ordinary zergs can bring you enough merits, but these merits do not mean that you can be promoted to the corresponding rank, but the authority in some aspects will be moderately increased." For example, if you are now a major general, you can recruit 50,000 soldiers, which is your limit. However, these 50,000 people are not the real 50,000, but are divided according to strength. Some senior soldiers may be ten or a hundred per person. ”

"Like the concept of population in StarCraft?"

"Yes. Of course, if it's your own soldiers, they belong to your personal guard and don't count towards the limit. In addition, as your merits increase, you can increase the recruitment limit of some soldiers, or use them to purchase items that can be purchased through special non-normal channels. ”

"Special items?"

Louise smiled, it seemed that she had acquiesced, it turned out that you could buy special items directly here.

Louise continued: "But to move up the ranks, in addition to having enough merit, kill specific targets. ”

"Brood?"

"Yes, to be promoted to a lieutenant general you need to kill a low-level brood, to be promoted to a general you need a mid-level brood, and to be promoted to marshal you need a high-level brood. ”

"Damn, the second mission says that as long as you kill one brood, how can it become three at once. Hong Lang fingerprinted.

Louise replied with a smile: "That originally referred to the final promotion, but the previous promotion still requires other foundations, and I am responsible for answering these aspects for you." The Supreme Council is responsible for many things, and there is no need for further explanation of the system. ”

"The Supreme Council has really found a good way to deal with the system. Shen Yi also smiled.

It is estimated that this is all done by the Supreme Council when it turned over and over and couldn't clean up this broken system, since I can't control you, I will bypass you.

I have to admit that this is also a way.

"Now, do you have any questions? As long as I know and am allowed to reveal them, I will answer them for you. Louise said. With the elevation of the status of adventurers, many things are no longer hidden, but officially open to adventurers.

Shen Yi and the others asked some questions, such as the specific development of the territory here, whether they could use their own personnel and bring their own supplies.

These answers are all in the affirmative, the Supreme Council has no restrictions in this regard, or it has not intended to restrict anyone from the beginning, all the restrictions come from the system and rules.

It is worth noting that according to the rules of this world, everything is closer to the real simulation world, and many things are not said to exist, but there is a construction process.

Energy converters can be purchased, but they need to be built.

Defenses can also be purchased, but they also require a construction process.

The more advanced the system, the longer it will take to build, but it can be accelerated by hiring more workers.

The price of the workers here is not expensive, five thousand dollars a month is enough, which is equivalent to fifty points.

However, if you want to complete it in a short time, you may not be able to hire thousands of workers.

In addition, it costs money to build a defense system, it costs money to build supporting facilities, and it costs money to recruit soldiers to assist in defense - the recruitment price of an ordinary soldier per unit of population is 10,000 yuan per month.

Senior soldiers are more expensive, different soldiers have different classifications, and six major generals can recruit a total of 300,000 soldiers, but when the price is calculated, everyone is startled and shakes their heads at the same time.

Please!

Of course, you can also buy it out, and 2500 points can directly buy a soldier, which is equivalent to two and a half months of recruitment costs, and the problem is that if you die, you will lose.

Or buy it with points, then you can take it out of this world, and the price of buying it directly is five hundred blood points, and follow it forever, which is how Edmund's Thor should come from.

A low-level energy converter costs 50,000 points, an intermediate one costs 100,000, and a high-level one costs 200,000.

All kinds of defensive forts have corresponding prices, which are similar to shops, but even if they are bought with points, enough of them can make people bankrupt, and it is impossible for a family as big as the Broken Blade Team to do it all at once, unless they don't strengthen it before.

Is this a joke?

If you don't make a penny in this world, you have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars first.

If Shen Yi hadn't listened to Hua Tianrui's reminder before and left 800,000 in his hand, he would have been able to stare dryly.

Well, I won't be glaring dryly.

For adventurers who didn't bring money in, the alliance also has a way, which is to rent.

Some adventurers who become marshals and leave the world will leave the territory, and then the Alliance will send soldiers to take over. When the new generals lack enough points to build their own bases, they can lease these provinces first.

Of course, it is also possible to buy it, and some generals like to buy this kind of old territory, after all, it saves the construction process.

The only question now is how much energy the energy converter can convert in a day, but even Louise can't tell, after all, as she said, it requires a variety of conditions.

She thought for a while before saying, "If it is a high-level energy converter, in an area where energy is relatively concentrated, and there are no other energy converters in the radiation range participating in the competition for energy, and there are a hundred workers responsible for normal operation, then there will be about one standard unit of energy beads a day." ”

"What is the radiation range of the energy converter?"

"The intermediate level is 4,000 square kilometers, and the advanced level is 10,000 square kilometers. ”

“......”

"Do you still have questions?"

"Not for the time being. ”

"So, choose your territory. ”
