Chapter 559: Utopian Society
["There are seven races in the Garden of Eden, namely the Minotaurs, the Zuma, the Hippogriffs, the Gargoyces, the One-Eyed Race, the Hog-headed Race, and our Panda Race. The girl took great care to count what she knew. 】
"Only seven?"
Mu You was a little strange.
To put it bluntly, the races of the Star Spirit Realm are set up for the gods to collect beliefs, and basically each race corresponds to one or several gods, so the races that have been born in the history of the Star Spirit Realm must be thousands, not to mention tens of thousands.
There are nearly a thousand races in total, and there are only a few dozen races left in the Star Spirit Realm at present, so what about the remaining hundreds of races? Didn't get sent here?
["Oh, by the way......" At this time, the girl seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly added: "The seven races refer to the races that are now alive normally in the Garden of Eden, and on the back of the Garden of Eden, there is a vast dormant area, which is said to have many races sleeping in it, but how many there are, I, I don't know very well......" The girl couldn't answer the specific number, and looked at you with some apprehension, very worried about being judged to have failed to answer. 】
"Sleep Zone?" Mu You was stunned.
["Answer correctly, you get 20 points!"] ”】
[Your reply made the panda girl smile, and while counting the points in her hand, she looked at Ling expectantly, waiting for the next question. 】
["Next question: Please elaborate on the information about the 'Hibernation Zone' (value: 30 points.") ”】
["I heard my grandmother say that the dormant zone is a special area created by the Watchmen to deal with the growing population of the Garden of Eden. ”】
["The space in the Garden of Eden is limited, and the limit can only accommodate ten races to survive, and any more will squeeze each other's survival resources, causing the living conditions of all races to drop sharply, and keeping the number of races in the Garden of Eden at seven is the most ideal number calculated by the watchmen. ”】
["However, every once in a while, outside races join in, and if left unchecked, the population here will only increase, so the watchmen have created a kind of 'dormant chamber', and it is said that the body of those who enter it will be frozen, stop the loss of life, and enter a long hibernation, and the consciousness will enter a beautiful dream and enjoy a carefree life in the dream. ”】
["From now on, whenever a new race joins the Garden of Eden, one of the oldest races will be sent to sleep in the dormant area en masse, so that the races in the garden will always remain at seven ......" The girl is trying her best to explain to you what she knows. 】
"Dormant Warehouse...... I really made this kind of thing......" Mu You exclaimed, this kind of science fiction thing actually appeared in the magic world first.
However, even if it is a dormant chamber, it is impossible to have no energy consumption, right? Hundreds of races, even if there are only 10,000 people in each race, will add up to an extremely large number, so many dormant bins, how much energy must be consumed every day?
Besides, even when the cemetery is used up, no matter how large the dormancy warehouse is, sooner or later it will be filled, and what will happen to the extra people at that time?
Mu You always felt that there was something wrong with this so-called 'dormant warehouse', but he couldn't say what the problem was, so he had to put it down first and continue to ask questions.
……
In the next hour, Mu You asked questions about all aspects of this underground world, and the panda girl also answered them one by one, some of them were clear, and some of them she didn't understand.
After some roundabout and tentative work, I finally figured out the situation of this 'Garden of Eden'.
In short, the so-called Garden of Eden is actually a utopian society ruled by artificial intelligence, where robots act as both rulers and nannies, responsible for providing survival materials for all living beings, and arranging jobs for everyone.
During this period, Mu You also asked the name of this panda girl, named 'Chunli', nicknamed Lili, grew up with her grandmother, and her grandmother died when she was ten years old, and she has been living alone until now.
Perhaps because of her long-term isolation, Lili is a more maverick child in her clan, and always likes to secretly do some unruly things, such as this time, she was during schoolwork, she heard the sound of fighting above the sky, and her curiosity was bursting, so she secretly skipped class and ran to the scene to watch the excitement, which happened to pick up the mechanical heart.
In addition to being reckless, Mu You's other impression of her is that she is a 'foodie'.
In the question just now, she got nearly 1,200 points, and all of them were exchanged for food.
In order to facilitate the pick-up of food, Mu You parachuted directly into the restaurant halfway.
"Boss, let's have another fried pork ...... with bamboo shoots" Mu You looked at the empty plate that had just been extracted from the game and was licked, and ordered again without thinking about it.
As a result, no one answered this time.
Mu You looked up, only to find that the boss had walked out of the back kitchen and was standing next to him, looking at him with a strange face: "Guest, the bamboo shoots are really gone this time, and the store next door can't borrow them, or ...... Do you order something else first? I'm going to ask someone to order bamboo shoots. ”
"Oh, that's it......"
Mu You also reacted at this time, he had already ordered dozens of fried meat with bamboo shoots without stopping, and in the eyes of others, it was estimated that he had become a strange person belonging to the giant panda.
Mu You checked out, turned around and left the store.
["System-kun, are you there? What's next? ”】
At this time, Chunli in the game is still waiting to answer the questions and get points to continue to exchange for food.
["There is no Q&A task today. Mu You had no choice but to reply.
["Huh? That's it? How do I earn points in the future? Chun-Li was shocked. 】
["The Q&A system will brush up questions from time to time every day, and in addition, points can also be obtained by doing tasks, and the points obtained by completing tasks will generally be much higher than answering questions. ”】
Mu You considered that he had almost understood the basic situation now, so he paused to ask questions, and some of the remaining details were discussed later.
[Suddenly, you hear footsteps outside the door.] 】
[Two armed robots swaggered into Chun-Li's courtyard and were heading towards the bamboo house.] 】
["Oh no, the patrol is coming! It must have come to search for the hidden things......" Chun-Li exclaimed, and hurriedly dragged out a sack from behind the door, and stuffed the sack under the bed with difficulty. 】
[Through the opening of the cloth bag, you can vaguely see that the bag is full of some broken props and bottles and cans with mud, and you even see a few pieces of human skulls......]
"You really pick up everything......" Mu You was speechless.
When he fought with the so-called 'host' before, he blasted a hole in the sky, and a lot of things from the outside world fell in at that time, and she obviously picked it up under the falling object.
[After Chun-Li hid the 'stolen goods', she quickly stuffed you into her clothes and wrapped you. 】
[At this time, the two robots in the courtyard have already stepped into the door, and a mechanical voice is broadcast from their mouths: "AY7463, Panda Man Chunli, routine inspection, please cooperate, scanning ......"]
[The eyes of the two robots emitted a red light curtain, and everything in the room, including Chun-Li, was carefully scanned......]
[Chun-Li is holding the corner of her clothes, and she seems to be whistling with her head tilted indifferently, but from the strength of her holding you through the clothes, you can clearly feel her nervousness. 】
["Dangerous objects have been found!"] "As one of the robots scanned under the bed, an alarm went off. You feel Chun-Li's body tremble slightly......]
Mu You was also nervous at this time, he held his pocket watch early, and once he was discovered by the robot, he issued an urgent mission to borrow Chunli's body to kill the two robots.
However, these robots are likely to be 'networked', and the price of doing so is that they will be directly exposed, and it may be more troublesome in the future.
Thankfully, things haven't gotten that bad.
[The robot dragged out the cloth bag just now from under the bed, and poured out all the contents inside, and the garbage in bottles and cans was suddenly scattered all over the ground......]
[Two robots quickly locked on to one of the tiny pieces of iron in a piece of garbage: "Dangerous items found!] Initial scan for offensive weapon fragments, execute command: Carbonize Erase! ”】
[You notice that this piece of metal is somewhat familiar, and it seems to be a fragment belonging to your shotgun......]
[The two robots didn't look at anything else on the ground, staring at the debris on the ground as if they were facing a great enemy, the muzzles of their guns appeared on their hands, and each of them sprayed a dazzling laser ...... at the debris]
[In the scorching heat, the fragments quickly melt into ash and disperse with the wind.] 】
[Only then did the robot put away the red weapon in his hand and continued to scan the ...... in the house]
["Scan completed, confirm safety."] After a few seconds, the robot stopped scanning. 】
[One of the robots walked up to Chun-Li and broadcast: "Chun-Li, the panda person, hides external objects without authorization, gives a warning, and deducts 3 evaluations!] ”】
[After the verdict is announced, the two robots go out and leave, leaving only a piece of tattered garbage and a bitter face of Chun-Li......]
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief slightly.
The two cyborgs were oblivious to the foreign objects that littered the ground, except for the piece of iron, which was clearly the remnant of him.
Having said that, these robotic scans can quickly lock onto a piece of iron the size of a fingernail in a pile of mud-soaked debris...... Could it be that they have some kind of special sensitivity to mechanical objects from the outside world?
But if you want to talk about mechanical items, his mechanical heart is also a machine, and it is much larger than the iron piece, so it is said to be more conspicuous, why hasn't it been scanned?
As soon as this question appeared, Mu You immediately remembered a previous text in the abyss, saying that when he approached the protective shield, he had a feeling of 'falling leaves returning to his roots'.
At that time, Mu You guessed that the mechanical heart could be something from this Garden of Eden?
Because it is a thing here, it is not a foreign object, so it has not been scanned out of the anomaly, so it can explain what happened just now.
However, in this way, it means that Mu You can't send in the mechanical parts obtained by the Star Spirit Realm after Mu You, and he can't use them if he sends them in, and he will be discovered immediately when he uses them.
The only way to rebuild your combat power without exposing yourself is to 'take local materials' and find local mechanical parts in the Garden of Eden to reassemble a mecha skin so that it can fit perfectly into the local area.
It's just that he is still a square with no hands and feet, and in the process of looking for mechanical parts, he can only fool Chunli to do it for him.
["Ding, the quest system has been updated!"] "Your voice is playing directly in Chun-Li's head. 】
["Mission 1: Continuously supply energy to the system and find a stable source of energy (value: 100 points per day)"]
["Mission 2: Search for mechanical parts for the system and assemble a complete mecha (value: 1000 points)"]
["Mission 3: Go to the dormant zone and find a way to infiltrate it and investigate (value: 1000 points)"]
This little panda girl seems to be particularly resistant to killing robots, so Mu You didn't have a hard time for her, and slightly modified the content of task 2.
Mechanical parts don't have to be obtained from robots, you can also look for scrapped and outdated parts, there are so many robots here, there will definitely be a large number of replacement parts every day.
As for task 3, it was purely improvised.
The setting of this 'dormant zone' makes Mu You feel a little abrupt, especially in such a utopian society ruled by robots, this kind of pure waste of resources seems to be supposed to exist...... In short, it doesn't hurt to go in and investigate when you have the chance.
["Mission...... It's so difficult......" Chunli muttered quietly after listening to your broadcast, but suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, it's too bad, I'm going to mine in the back mountains today, I'm going to be late!" ”】
[Chun-Li hurriedly took you out of the door......]
[You borrowed Chun-Li's perspective and saw the scenery of the outside world. 】
[A gathering place for panda people, located on a mountain. The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, the vegetation is luxuriant, and long pavilion corridors, small bridges and flowing water can be seen everywhere. A plump panda man or carrying a flat pole is busy in the farmland; or dressed in a cloak and playing the flute in the mountains and forests; Or wear a hat on your head, dance a gun and stick on the top of the mountain, a quiet and peaceful ......]
[Chun-Li flexibly climbed to the mountainside of the back mountain, passed through a bamboo forest, and arrived at a natural mine......]
[At this moment, in the mine, there are already a large number of figures working with axes and pickaxes, in addition to the panda people, you also see a kind of creature with a human body and a bull's head, with two horns on its head, and a magnificent body, which is the minotaur family. 】
【"Chun-Li!! You're late again! Arriving at the scene, Chun-Li was just about to sneak into the mine when she was frozen by a roar from behind. 】
[Chunli turned around mechanically and saw an old female panda man standing behind her, and hurriedly waved her hand to explain: "Granny Yao, I didn't mean to, it was those patrolmen who turned over my home, and I was busy cleaning up the ...... that was late"]
[The elderly panda man walked quickly to Chunli on crutches, and was just about to scold her, but he was suddenly stunned, frowning and staring at her chest: "What is hidden in your chest, how can there be fluctuations in potions?" ”】
["Ah......" Chunli was startled, her eyes turned sharply a few times, maybe she knew that she couldn't hide it, so she had to take out the cloth bag hidden in her chest and hand it to the old man. 】
"This is...... Epic Potion!? The old man looked at the medicine in the cloth bag with some shock, hurriedly closed the mouth of the cloth bag, looked left and right vigilantly, and after confirming that no one saw it, he looked at Chunli seriously: "Where did you get this thing?" ”】
["Yes, Department...... Uh, I picked it up in the valley where the explosion happened......" Chun-Li replied. 】
["Only these were picked up? Is there anything else? The old man asked hurriedly. 】
["No, it's gone...... Oh, there are still some bottles and cans, but they are all garbage, and I picked them up after looking at the fun......" Chun-Li shifted her gaze and muttered. 】
[The old man stared at her eyes silently when he heard this, and after looking at it for a long time, he sighed and returned the cloth bag to her: "I don't care what you do, in short, you deal with it yourself, don't be discovered by those robots, otherwise, I won't be able to protect you.] ”】
["I know, I promise! Seeing that the old man's tone softened, Chunli breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly patted her chest to guarantee. 】
["In addition, as the price of fooling around, you will not be allowed to eat dinner tonight! The old man left a sentence and shook his hand away. 】
