402. Access to the system
The person who came out of the combat compartment was tall, with a net height of about 1.8 meters.
He was wearing power armor with obvious signs of repair, and there were many broken spots on the armor that were sealed with metal skin, blue and purple, looking poor and embarrassed.
Li Nuo estimated in his heart that he should have met the kind of professional player who focused on exploration and prestige.
Since it's to explore the plot, as long as the plot can get by, there's no need to spend a lot of money on equipment.
Li Nuo's gaze rested on the man's face.
The opponent's head is obscured by a power helmet with a transparent glass cover, and inside there is a searchlight that emits light outward.
The glow of the searchlight barely illuminated the man's face, he was about thirty years old, he looked ordinary, not handsome or anything, but he was extremely calm and steady, and he looked very bold.
Even in the face of Li Nuo, a "little boss" of unknown depth, the man still maintained his calmness and calmness.
Among them, the immortality of being a player is his biggest reliance.
The player commander stops about thirty meters from Lino.
He took out an iron box from the armor pocket on his chest.
After pressing the button on the box, he pointed it at Li Nuo and said towards the box:
"Hello, Honorable Elder of the Dead, we are sorry for our previous offense, and we ask that you forgive us for our rude behavior."
Iron Box is a simultaneous translator.
The words spoken by the player commander are simultaneously translated into the language of the deceased by the box.
"We are legal interstellar mercenaries from the Dikaga Federation. We were recently hired by the Unified Bureau's Command Enforcement Department to investigate the mysterious signals emanating from the planet Lisom-13. I am one of the commanders of this operation..."
The player commander paused when he said this, and his face became a little strange, as if he was a little embarrassed
After nearly a second, he said:
"I'm one of the commanders of this trip, the captain of the interstellar mercenary team, refreshing cucumber slices."
Ha.
Li Nuo almost burst out laughing.
When these players named their characters, didn't they think about introducing themselves in front of important NPCs one day?
What serious person would name himself "refreshing cucumber slices".
Obviously, the player commander also knew that his name was difficult to get into the hall, so he simply didn't do anything, turning his personal embarrassment into everyone's embarrassment.
"I also brought my teammates, crispy potato sticks, sweet strawberry juice, sour lemonade..."
The player commander named his teammates one by one, which successfully caused complaints from the combat pod.
Seeing that he and the others were giggling, the little boss still had no desire to attack, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little more confident in their hearts.
The player commander coughs lightly and gets back to business.
Mechanical bosses like this are all fixed routines.
First of all, be sure to figure out what kind of game mechanic the boss in front of you is.
Answering questions, contesting, turning in items, or taking on a side quest.
The player commander gets straight to the point and says:
"Based on our findings, we have determined that the planet is hiding beneath the death of the Deceased Clan. It is this strange thing that broadcasts a mysterious signal to the whole universe. Together with the Broken Ursa pirates roaming our system, we explore the planet together. From the clues we've gathered, the chair beneath you is the gateway to the Land of Wonders. If we want to enter the land of strange things and obtain the strange things of death, what price should we pay? β
Li Nuo just wanted to say the prepared words, but suddenly found that there was an extra system message in his mind that he had never seen before!
γAttention! The large-scale realistic multiplayer online game "Star Sea" greets you! γ
[Mysterious and ancient existence, you have come into contact with the players of "Star Sea". They are a bunch of lively creatures who will run around for you as long as you give a small profit. γ
[When they ask you, you can ask them for items, information, or ask them to join you temporarily.] γ
[Of course, you can also torso them with force.] γ
[Before you can reply to them, the Star Ocean game system needs to evaluate your identity and strength. γ
[Do you want to accept simple detections from the game system?] γ
Li Nuo secretly raised his eyebrows, he really didn't expect that his incomplete deconstruction core system would be able to receive system information from the game "Star Sea".
However, after thinking about it deeply, Li Nuo didn't feel strange.
The Assassination Angel had previously said that behind the player, the undead, should be the core of the plane called the Command.
During the existence of the Supreme Star Palace, the core of this plane has sent many gods to the Star Palace, and the two sides have a cooperative relationship.
So the system interface created by Xinggong can intervene in the game "Star Sea", which is also in the past.
Assassination Angel's evaluation of the core of the "Command" plane.
Based on this, Li Nuo gradually realized that it seemed feasible to use players to help him destroy the metal creation group.
Li Nuo pondered for a moment and said silently in his heart:
"Detected."
A message came from the system.
[The "Star Sea" game system is undergoing simple detection.] γ
[Progress: 1%, 2%, 3%]
After about three seconds, the progress bar reached 100%, and several more system messages were refreshed.
[Simple detection completed.] γ
[The "Star Sea" game system has determined that you are a "boss-level" NPC, and now provides you with a mission operation interface for NPCs of this level.] γ
A strange and novel interface unfolded in Li Nuo's mind.
From top to bottom, the content on this interface is:
Task name, task difficulty, task details, task limit, and task reward.
Fill in each of these five items in turn to initiate a quest to the player.
However, there is no need for Li Nuo to fill it out manually.
According to the gaze information on the interface, the lines he says to the player will be automatically converted into the content of the mission interface and transmitted to the player.
The types of tasks and the intensity of tasks that boss-level NPCs can initiate far exceed those of ordinary NPCs.
As small as asking players to help themselves fight monsters, to allowing players to collect massive materials, etc., all of them are within Li Nuo's mission initiation authority.
Also, there is no limit to the number of players who can participate in the mission.
In other words, it is now possible for him to give the player commander a task to form an army for himself.
But compared to the strange thing of death, such a time-consuming, labor-intensive and labor-intensive task is obviously far more difficult than the reward.
When a player receives such a task, there is a high probability that they will choose to bargain or even refuse.
Li Nuo thought about it for a while and had a specific idea in his heart.
Seeing that the miniboss was silent, the player commander named Refreshing Cucumber Slices thought that something was wrong with the content he had translated with the simultaneous translator, and was tinkering with the iron box in his hand at this time.
Li Nuo raised his arm and made a clattering sound, causing the refreshing cucumber slices to tremble slightly, and he involuntarily became nervous.
"You have awakened me from my slumber..."
Li Nuo said in a vicissitudes of life and in a low tone.
Thanks to the fact that the "Universal Communication Technique" was in effect, the Unas Ring language used by Li Nuo was transmitted to the human beings present word for word.
Players are surprised to find that the mini-boss does not use the language of the dead, but instead uses a mysterious language that is obviously very unfamiliar, but can understand the meaning.
Players can't help but feel that the boss's compulsion is far higher than they imagined.
Even the player commander looked solemn, his eyes flashing with anticipation.
As a player commander, he certainly has the most experience in the team.
A situation like this, which is nominally an elite monster of the Dead, but does not use the language of the Dead, only says one thing!
That is, there is a very high probability that there is a hidden plot in it.
And the hidden plot often corresponds to hidden quests and peculiar rewards.
Li Nuo saw that the color of the refreshing cucumber slices was different, and he knew that his initiative had worked successfully.
Next, it's up to him to explain his identity and launch a mission against the player.
Li Nuo continued to say in a slow and distant tone:
"The eternal calamity has not yet subsided, so why are you fighting?"
Voices echoed through the vast treasure room, forming a burst of reverberation.
Refreshing cucumber slices frowned, obviously not expecting the little boss to ask such a fake-sounding question.
Why fight?
Of course, it's for the sake of legendary items, massive experience, and hidden professions, but is it also for the happiness and fulfillment of the universe?
Refreshing Cucumber Slices tried to consider the words and sentences, and wanted to express the idea of asking for money in a tactful way, answering NPC's questions in a civilized and decent way.
At this moment, a young woman's voice came out of the combat compartment:
"Captain, captain, don't forget the ancient books we found when we ran errands to collect plot clues in the early stage."
"Ancient books?" The refreshing cucumber slice turned his head thoughtfully to look at the combat cabin, and then said as if awakened from a dream:
"Oh! Yeah! Ancient! This is a story-oriented mechanical boss! Strawberry juice, over to you. You will answer the boss's questions. When it comes to delving into the plot, you're the best. β
"Sting-" The airlock door opened.
A female player named Sweet Strawberry Juice has just walked out of it.
She was wearing power armor that had also been repaired many times, and the overall silhouette was a little bloated, but the graceful and friendly appearance in the power helmet was not affected by the tattered power armor.
After a brief scrutiny, Li Nuo was sure that this was a detail-oriented, empathetic, and game-oriented player who particularly liked to study the game's plot.
Sweet Strawberry Juice walked out of the hatch and removed the metal bag from its back and lowered it to the ground to open it.
The bag was filled with fragments of antiquities sealed in bottles and jars, and stacks of thick ancient books.
Strawberry juice picked up an ancient book, opened it in his hand, skillfully flipped to one of the pages, and then held it up for Li Nuo to see.
On the page is an illustration of a strange starship sailing in outer space.
Different from the appearance of the starship on the tech side, which resembles an ocean ship, the starship in the illustration resembles a boot.
Sweet strawberry juice took a deep breath, plucked up the courage and said:
"Your Excellency, what I am showing you now is the rumored starship built by the Dead. It is said that its ships are powered by wailing souls. Everywhere it passed, a widespread catastrophe of death erupted, and corpses were strewn all over the field overnight. β
When Sweet Strawberry Juice spoke, he always paid attention to Li Nuo's expression.
Li Nuo's face was still in the shape of a skeleton, without any fluctuations.
Seeing this, Sweet Strawberry Juice did not feel depressed, but her eyes lit up and she had some inferences.
Under normal circumstances, a mini-boss with a high level of intelligence should read a few lines when he sees his own starship, boasting about how awesome the death ship of the Dead is, right?
But now, the mini-boss sitting on the door of the strange thing and blocking the way is unmoved, and the language it used before was not the language of the dead.
What do these two points say when they are put together?
The veteran plot party quickly guessed the answer!
Sweet strawberry juice's eyes flashed with joy, and he hurriedly opened another book.
The book also has illustrations of the Dead's Booted ship being shattered by a large humanoid creature.
Booted ships, Li Nuo may not be very familiar with them.
But the humanoid creature that smashed the booted ship, Li Nuoke couldn't be clearer, it was exactly the combat form of the Star Palace Angel when he was shuttling through the universe.
The artificial angels imitated by the angel enterprise consortium are designed with reference to the cosmic space combat form of genuine angels.
Li Nuo nodded slightly, and gave sweet strawberry juice a slight response.
Sweet Strawberry Juice keenly sensed the affirmation from the mini-boss, cheered softly, and said quickly to the captain:
"I know, I know. This mini-boss is not on the side of the Prayer of the Dead, it is the enemy of the Prayer, a mysterious race called the Supreme God Race by ancient texts. β
"The Supreme Protoss... There really is such a cosmic race..."The refreshing cucumber slice exclaimed:
"Isn't the Angel Enterprise Consortium imitating the Supreme Protoss and creating imitations?"
Sweet strawberry juice nodded repeatedly:
"That's how it should be."
After staring at the ancient book in the other party's hand and pondering for a few seconds, the refreshing cucumber slice whispered:
"Have you figured out how to answer this boss's question? As a rule of thumb, you only have one chance to answer a question. β
"Don't worry, Captain. I've already figured it out. Sweet Strawberry Juice raised her pretty face, looked at Li Nuo who was sitting on the high platform and said:
"Your Excellency, we are fighting to destroy the remnants of the Prayer for the Dead!"
There was a little more solemnity in the air, and everyone subconsciously held their breath and waited for Li Nuo's reply.
After being silent for a short time, Li Nuo said word by word:
"You're too weak."
The two little players had complicated faces and looked at each other with regret.
The answer is correct, but the level is not enough to open the plot of this mini-boss.
Just as the two of them were about to discuss leaving, Li Nuo said again:
"Prove to me your faith in the victory over the remnant of eternity, mortals. I would reward those who are brave and determined enough. β
The two little players paused and looked at Li Nuo in unison.
At the same time, the two of them and the other players present all received the mission information from Li Nuo.
Thanks for the subscription and monthly pass!
