In the guarded town at the east gate of Qincheng.

Xu Minghao is online again, and the character is no longer in the resurrection hall, but appears in the center of the square guarding the town.

He looked around the square, and compared to the previous two days, the number of players who came to guard the town was significantly higher.

Before Xu Minghao could go to the mercenary hall, his long-range call had already sounded, and it was the guy who called the shrimp.

It seems that this kid must have been paying attention to Xu Minghao's online situation, and not long after he went online, the call came.

"Hey, Mingyue, where are you? I'm going to look for you now. Shrimp couldn't wait.

Xu Minghao looked around the square, there were a lot of people, and it was difficult to find someone, so he said: "Meet directly at the door of the mercenary hall!" I'm going to rush over now. ”

"Okay, I'm close here, I'll wait for you at the door of the mercenary hall!" Shrimp finished speaking and hung up.

Xu Minghao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This kid is still so impatient. ”

At the entrance of the mercenary hall, the changes here have been earth-shaking, full mercenary squads can be seen everywhere, of course, there are many temporary teams to do tasks, what remains unchanged is that it is still so lively.

Xu Minghao refused the pull of several waves of players, came to the door of the mercenary hall, and saw the figure of the shrimp guy at a glance.

There was no way, the guy stood in the most conspicuous place of the gate, and kept waving to Xu Minghao.

As soon as Xu Minghao approached the mercenary hall, the shrimp boy began to hurriedly shout: "Mingyue, Mingyue, this way, this way!" ”

"Shrimp, don't shout, you're so big, I can see it." Xu Minghao waved his hand to signal the shrimp to be quiet.

Shrimp also smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "It's not that I'm afraid you won't be able to see it!" Let's go. ”

Xu Minghao followed the shrimp into the mercenary hall, and he came here to find an excuse in addition to handing in the task.

Xu Minghao casually found a team with few people to line up, turned back to Xiami and said, "Xiami, you wait for me here, I'll go to hand over first, and then accompany me to run." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you next to you!" Shrimp didn't say anything, and found a place where no one was around.

The work efficiency of the task window was very high, and soon it was Xu Minghao's turn, and he stepped forward to start the handover with the staff.

"Hello, I'm here to submit my personal expedition mission 88. This is the item required for the mission, the Crystallization of the Shadow Leopard's ability. Xu Minghao took out the ability crystal from his backpack and handed it over.

"Hello, the mercenary moon is like the wind, the items required for the mission have been submitted, and the test is ongoing, please wait!" The staff took the Psychic Crystals and placed them on a discernment device.

"The test has been completed, and the result is the crystallization of the Wind Shadow Leopard's ability, which is determined to be the mission item of Expedition Mission 88, mission assessment: qualified, may I ask if the mercenary will receive the task reward." The staff asked casually.

Xu Minghao didn't care about the task reward, and responded: "Confirm to receive the task reward." ”

"The mission reward has been distributed, please pay attention to the mercenary! Is there anything else I can do to help you? The staff asked politely.

Bite!

Congratulations to the player for the moon like the wind, and the character level has been upgraded to level 9!

Xu Minghao glanced at the character attributes, plus the previous experience of alien beasts in the Yongge Forest and the 3,000 points of experience in this expedition mission. The level went straight to level 9.

"Hello, I want to visit Academician Qin An of the research institute in person, just say that I have an item that pulls energy, please inform me." Xu Minghao and the staff explained their purpose.

The staff also looked at him in surprise, after all, the mercenaries who came here were only handing over tasks, and there were few such requests.

One of the purposes of Xu Minghao taking on this task is to establish a communication channel with Qin An, which is also the key to his next upgrade task from the research institute.

And Xu Minghao relied on the memories of his previous life, and happened to have the key items for the research of energy weapons, he didn't believe that Qin An would not take the bait, as long as he could communicate with Qin An, he believed that he would definitely receive that task.

"Wait a minute, I'll call the research institute and ask!" After the staff finished speaking, they called to ask.

And the player behind Xu Minghao also said impatiently: "The front, what are you doing?" Lao Tzu has to go out of the city to do a mission later! ”

Xu Minghao was in no mood to pay attention to the players behind him, silently waiting for the staff's notice, although his expression was stable, he was still a little anxious in his heart.

The staff hung up the call, turned to Xu Minghao and said, "Hello, the research institute has agreed, please come over as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, thank you!" Xu Minghao thanked him, but his heart blossomed.

"Damn, I've finally taken the first step, wait until I go to visit Academician Qin An, and I must fool him." Xu Minghao secretly said firmly in his heart.

After seeing Xu Minghao do it, Shrimp immediately surrounded him, "Mingyue, how is the task handover?" Where to go now? ”

Xu Minghao motioned to Xiami to go out with his eyes and said, after all, he didn't want too many people to know about the existence of the research institute, although the method of rapid upgrade was only known to him, but it was still safer.

After getting the signal, Shrimp didn't say anything, followed Xu Minghao out of the mercenary hall, and rushed all the way to the station guarding the town.

On the way, Xia Mi made sure that there was no one around, so he dared to continue to ask, "Mingyue, where are we going?" What are you doing? So mysterious! ”

Xu Minghao didn't continue to hide it, "Go to the research institute in Guangming City first, I can't tell you the specific situation, I can only say that this mission is likely to be one of the main tasks, you know!" ”

After hearing this, Shrimp's face was full of shock, he didn't even know the trend of the game now, so he received the main quest.

"Mingyue, cow! The task is..., by the way, to keep it secret, you can't say it! Shrimp quickly looked around to avoid listening to others.

Xu Minghao looked at the nervous appearance of the shrimp, and suddenly smiled: "Let's go, there is no need to be like this, others will think that you have a ghost when they see it, just be normal!" ”

At this time, Xiami reacted, probably felt that his behavior was a little excessive, and quickly adjusted, but his eyes were still staring at the players who walked by from time to time, maybe now in his eyes, every passing player is not like a good person.

Xu Minghao and the two took a ride from the guard town and rushed to the research institute in Guangming City, fortunately, the speed of the car in the game has special bonuses, and there is no delay too much.

Coming to the gate of the research institute in Guangming City, it is heavily guarded and there are patrolling guards everywhere.

Xu Minghao and the two passed the review of the guards before they were allowed to enter the gate of the research institute.

"Mingyue, what is this research institute for? It's so heavily guarded! "Shrimp looks at such a big battle.

Xu Minghao looked up at the familiar tall research institute in front of him, and there were still many guards guarding it.

"This is the institution that determines the direction of the game, and it is also the last barrier for humanity in this game world." Xu Minghao said with some admiration.

Shrimp looked at him with some suspicion, "Mingyue, it won't be you who broke it blindly, how do you know this thing!" ”

Xu Minghao said angrily: "That's it!" It's my first time, how do I know! ”

Xu Minghao didn't explain again, after all, talking too much at this time would arouse the suspicion of Xiami, so it was better to pretend to be stupid.

Xu Minghao and Xiami had already come downstairs to the research institute, and the guards looked at them vigilantly.

Xu Minghao stepped forward and said to a guard: "Hello, please inform Academician Qin An, I have already made an appointment to meet him."

"Wait a minute, I'll consult Academician Qin An." After a guard signaled Xu Minghao not to approach, he dialed a phone.

After a while, the guards no longer looked at Xu Minghao and them vigilantly, but smiled and asked them to wait for a while.

At this time, a young man came down from the research institute and walked towards Xu Minghao and them.

"Hello, I'm Academician Qin An's assistant, you can just call me Xiao Wang, Academician Qin is doing experiments in the laboratory above, you can go up with me first!" Xiao Wang briefly explained the situation.

Xu Minghao didn't expect Academician Qin An to receive them in person, after all, Academician Qin An, as the leader of the Guangming City Research Institute, must have a lot to do.

Xiao Wang took the two of them to a conference room, which was empty, Xu Minghao and the others found a place to sit down.

"Wait a minute, Academician Qin An will come to meet you after the experiment is completed. I've got some things to do, so I'm not going to entertain you. Xiao Wang said apologetically.

"It's okay, you are busy first, you don't need to greet us, we just wait here!" Xu Minghao said understandingly.

After seeing Xiao Wang leave, Xiami spoke, "Mingyue, you tell me honestly, what are we doing here?" ”

Xu Minghao glanced at the shrimp with a thirst for knowledge, and said seriously: "Didn't you ask me before, how should our combat effectiveness be improved?" Now I can answer you specifically. ”

"Alien beasts have supernatural crystals in their bodies, and compared to humans, alien beasts are too powerful, and if we want to suppress them, we can only take two paths." Xu Minghao didn't plan to hide it anymore.

"First, strength itself, so that humans themselves have a body as powerful as that of alien beasts. Second, powerful weapons, ordinary weapons are already very weak against alien beasts, and it is necessary to develop a new type of weapon with great power, and the energy in the alien energy crystal is a breakthrough. Xu Minghao roughly expressed his opinion.

"Well said, young man. I can't believe that there are people as knowledgeable as you among the mercenaries. Suddenly a voice came from the door.

Xu Minghao and the others were also attracted by the sound of the door, where there stood an old man with a serious expression in white overalls, and perhaps his eyes full of stars and a sea of stars were impressive.

This old man is Academician Qin An.
