Chapter 62: At the Cost of My Life
Chen Rui flew towards the center of the tribe with the purple-haired guards.
Along the way, Chen Rui's gaze kept sweeping around.
Along the way, he didn't see any buildings with a sense of technology, everything was just like the feudal era of the earth.
The civilization in this world has a history of hundreds of millions of years, shouldn't the level of science and technology be so backward?
Immediately, Chen Rui remembered that the virtual universe company banned the use of spaceships in this place and banned the dissemination of spaceship-related technologies.
Could it be that this is the result of a technological blockade...... Chen Rui muttered to himself.
There are more than 500,000 people in the entire tribe. Adults, children, old people, and women in the tribe all practiced martial arts. Obviously, this is a world that worships martial arts.
Soon, the two of them came to the giant palace in the center of the tribe.
Chen Rui followed the purple-haired guards around the giant palace, and finally stopped outside an antique mahogany hut.
The purple-haired guard knocked lightly on the door of the house: "Chief, my subordinates have something important to report." ”
"Come in." A calm female voice came from inside the room.
The purple-haired guard motioned for Chen Rui to wait outside, and pushed open the door alone and walked into the house.
...
After a while, the purple-haired guard walked out of the house and said to Chen Rui:
"I have made the matter clear to the chief, and the chief invites you to come into the house to discuss it in detail, and I will not stay here any longer."
He arched his hand to Chen Rui and left on his own.
Chen Rui bowed slightly, groaned slightly, and then he pushed open the door and walked slowly towards the house.
As soon as he stepped into the door, Chen Rui's gaze swept to the two figures sitting in the room.
Suddenly, he was slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
However, before he could speak, a familiar crisp female voice came from inside the room:
"Chen Rui?"
This familiar female voice was suspicious, obviously she didn't expect to meet Chen Rui here.
Chen Rui smiled bitterly, he didn't expect to meet this woman here, and responded:
"It's me. What a coincidence, Zi Ming! ”
He and Zi Ming are the super-elites of the same class of the Black Dragon Mountain Branch of the Virtual Universe Company.
Although in the battle in the decisive battle space, Zi Ming was quite dissatisfied with Chen Rui's combat methods, but in the previous year or so, the two often met in the lecture hall opened for elite members by the Black Dragon Mountain Branch of the Virtual Universe Company, and occasionally chatted a sentence or two.
During this period, Zi Ming also asked Chen Rui many times for advice on the application of the field, and the two gradually became acquainted.
Ziming is the kind of woman who is straightforward, dares to love and hate, and never pretentiously does things, plus she does look very much in line with the aesthetics of earthlings, Chen Rui naturally feels a little close to such a woman.
Then, Chen Rui looked at the beautiful woman beside Zi Ming again. I saw that this woman had purple hair and blue eyes, and there were seven or eight points of resemblance between her eyebrows and Zi Ming.
Seeing the appearance of this beautiful woman, Chen Rui began to be suspicious in his heart.
Just when he was speculating about the relationship between Zi Ming and this beautiful woman, Zi Ming looked at the beautiful woman and said:
"Mother, please avoid it first, this is my acquaintance, I want to talk to him first."
The beautiful woman bowed slightly, then got up and walked outside the house.
Seeing the beautiful woman close the door, Zi Ming looked at Chen Rui and said:
"Chen Rui, what a coincidence, I was able to meet you here. You also took on the life and death test mission of the Chiyan Continent? ”
"That's right, you must have also taken over the mission of the Chiyan Continent!" Chen Rui nodded and gave an affirmative reply, and then he wondered: "That one was your mother just now, are you the aboriginal of the Chiyan Continent?" ”
Zi Ming didn't hide it, and directly talked about her origin:
"Yes, I was originally an aboriginal here. More than a year ago, I cast the Triple Realm in a battle, and within two days, a mysterious person came to take me from here.
"There have been rumors circulating in our Chiyan Continent that in addition to the domain master-level powerhouses who will mysteriously disappear, the supreme geniuses among the human race will also mysteriously disappear. But after all, the number of so-called supreme geniuses is too rare, and there have never been a few people in history, so most people don't take this rumor seriously. It wasn't until the day I was taken away that I knew the rumor was true.
"At first, I thought I was going to die, I must have been captured by the legendary Outer Demon God. Later, I learned that our Chiyan Continent was just an insignificant continent in the vast universe, and the legendary Outer Heaven Demon God was the powerhouse of the Black Dragon Mountain Branch of the Virtual Universe Company. It's ridiculous that we used to think of the Chiyan Continent as the whole world.
"Then, I was absorbed into the Black Dragon Mountain Branch of the Virtual Universe Company, and then I met you in the decisive battle space."
Zi Ming explained what happened to her in one breath.
"So, your first life-and-death test mission was to choose the Chiyan Continent." Chen Rui realized this, and then he said in a tone with a hint of blame: "As the first life and death test task, you shouldn't choose this task, you should choose an ordinary level task." ”
Zi Ming sighed:
"I know, but I have my own struggles. My father is a stellar ninth-order powerhouse, the patriarch of our clan, and with him, our clan can be stable and prosperous. But just two years ago, he was killed in a battle with the demon clan on the border!
"After the news spread, several medium-sized tribes in the vicinity were thinking of annexing our tribe. Do you know what happens when the tribe is annexed - the men are sent to the border battlefield to be cannon fodder, and the women are slaves?
"Originally, I could only do nothing but watch the tribe be annexed and the people enslaved in the next few years."
Then, a flash of excitement flashed in Zi Ming's eyes:
"But now it's different, I've become a super-elite of the Black Dragon Mountain Branch of the Virtual Universe Company, with a start-up capital of 100 billion Qianwu coins. I have purchased a large number of stellar-level cultivation resources, and with these resources, my mother will be able to quickly cultivate to the eighth level of the stellar level, and other clans will no longer dare to covet our clan!
"It's a pity that I will have to leave here after completing the mission, or die directly in the mission, and I can't protect the clan for a long time. Otherwise, in fact, I can use the resources directly on myself, and the effect may be better.
"I'm a genius after all!" Zi Ming boasted bitterly.
Hearing this, Chen Rui finally understood why Zi Ming was so disgusted with the combat methods he used in the decisive battle space - it turned out that her father had died not long ago, and her father's death had also caused the tribe to face a huge crisis. In this case, it is really undesirable to let Ziming call herself "Dad".
Immediately, Chen Rui thought of something, his face changed, and he said in a deep voice:
"How much did it cost you to buy these resources? Have you ever bought a cheatbook, a weapon, or a battle armor for yourself? ”
"It's almost all spent, stellar-level cultivation resources are too expensive, and in addition to cultivation resources, I also bought a suitable Force weapon for my mother. I had a little money left on my own, and I promoted myself to the ninth rank of the planetary level. As for the cheats of the exercises, weapons, and battle armor......" Speaking of this, Zi Ming shook her head and didn't continue, obviously there was no extra money to buy these items.
"It's a pity that the Virtual Universe Company doesn't allow us to bring slaves in, otherwise I only need to spend a small amount of money and buy a few stellar ninth-order slaves, and I can solve this matter." Zi Ming smiled bitterly, as if she was quite annoyed.
"Then do you know that without the right exercise cheats, Force weapons, and battle armor, how sure are you that you can complete this mission?"
"Less than half of the way - the metaverse company doesn't allow natives like me to ask my people for help in missions, I can only complete tasks on my own. But I don't have a choice!
"If I don't, my people will be enslaved and sent to be used as cannon fodder. I will not allow this to happen – even at the cost of my life! Zi Ming's tone was firm.
Chen Rui sighed and didn't say anything more.
