Chapter 101: The First Sight of the Fortress of Prometheus
As soon as the white light flashed, Yang Hui, Huang, Wang Liumei, Graham, Instant, Lyle, and Tieria found themselves in a completely unfamiliar place, which seemed to be in a huge building, full of a sense of future technology, but everything had not yet started, only the faint lights of the emergency flickered.
"Mephis, are you there?"
[Yes, Commander, welcome to the Prometheus Fortress.] γ
A pleasant female voice sounded around, as soon as the voice fell, the lights suddenly turned on, and the strong light pierced everyone's eyes, and after opening them again, they really saw clearly what kind of place they were in, as if the office hall in the next few centuries, the pure white metal walls outlined the lines of gold, atmospheric, luxurious and elegant, there were a large number of projection panels on the walls and on the ground, but there were just all kinds of gibberish flowing.
At the same time, a woman's phantom appeared in front of them, pure white long hair and waist, an unknown style of white tights outlined a concave and convex body, a pair of fiery red star eyes seemed to be burning with enthusiasm, but there was no expression on the face, like an iceberg, which can be described as two heavens of ice and fire.
"You're Mephis?" Yang Hui asked.
[Yes, first meeting, Commander, and everyone, I'm Mephis, the intelligent terminal AI of Prometheus Fortress.] γ
"Tell us about the current state of the Prometheus Fortress."
[Everybody come with me.] γ
The crowd walked out of the hall following Mephis's projection, and they were shocked by what they saw.
"This ...... Is this Prometheus Fortress? β
"Hello? Just kidding, right? β
"Is this the mezzanine of the space?"
"The battle is too fierce."
When they saw the scenery outside the door, they were shocked at first, and then a word popped up in their hearts at the same time - I Gan!
Because they found that there was nothing but a perfect building and floating land in the area where they were located, and even the land was just a few steps from the doorway, and all that was left was an abyss-like void, surrounded by a large number of rubble ruins, as if the entire continent had been shattered by an inexplicable force.
"This ...... Isn't it nothing? Yang Hui grew his mouth and complained.
[Yes, Commander, as I said, the Prometheus Fortress was destroyed by self-explosion except for the central hall.] γ
"But this is too ......" Yang Hui wanted to complain a few words, but finally gave up, instead of wasting saliva and complaining, it was better to do something serious," ...... Forget it, how am I going to rebuild the rest of the area? β
"Follow me.] γ
Mephis led the group back to the central hall and took the innermost elevator directly to the top floor, where she introduced them to the detailed functions of the central hall.
[The central hall is the core of the Prometheus Fortress, similar to the role of the command tower, the first floor is the office hall, the members of the fortress can receive tasks, submit tasks, contribute resources, exchange resources, etc. can be handled on the first floor, the second to the fifth floor are the strongholds of various departments, such as the intelligence department, the staff department, the general combat conference room, etc., the sixth to the ninth floor is the special port and Gnaku for the commander and the high-level of the fortress, the tenth to the twelfth floor is the high-rise residential area of the fortress, and the thirteenth floor of the top floor is the commander's residential area.
The living area is not limited to a room, it is a small space that can be extended infinitely, and the owner can arrange it according to their preferences, of course, except for the commander, all decorations need to cost bonus points, and the details of reward points and additional tasks are also asked to upgrade the central hall to unlock more features and find out later.
At the same time, the commander has the highest privilege control panel. γ
As he spoke, a large holographic projection appeared in the empty room, it was the Prometheus Fortress, and the central hall floated alone, but there were many plus signs around it, and there was also an upward arrow on the central hall.
"Huh?" Yang Hui clicked on the plus sign on the front of the central hall, and another panel popped up, on which there were several options for production area, scientific research area, trading area, entertainment area, residential area, mining area, military area, and port, and each option corresponded to a construction opportunity and some unseen amount of resources.
At this time, Yang Hui completely figured out what the task reward he had obtained before was, it turned out that the construction opportunity and the enhancement building opportunity both existed for Prometheus Fortress.
"What are these resources? And what is the source? Yang Hui asked.
[The three resources are Void Gold, Aethergas, and Chaos Crystal. γ
As soon as they heard these three names, Yang Hui and the others felt that their heads were big, was this something they could understand? Not to mention that there are no such things on the earth, I'm afraid other worlds won't have them, right?
Mephis ignored the stupid appearance of a few people who had just arrived in the big city like Tubaozi, and continued to introduce: [...... Three resources can be harvested from mines, and the amount harvested is related to the number and level of mines, while construction opportunities and building enhancement opportunities can only be obtained from quest rewards. γ
Understood, that is to say, resources and everything are secondary, and the most important thing is the opportunity to build and strengthen the building, so every mission must be carried out to the best in order to better develop the fortress of Prometheus.
"So what the hell is this powerful sense of dΓ©jΓ vu?" Yang Hui complained, he remembered some games he had played in his previous life, this mode was exactly the same, he really wanted to ask the creator of Prometheus Fortress if he was a time-traveler from Blue Star like him.
"How should the upper echelons of the fortress be set up?"
Mephis didn't speak, but a new panel popped up in front of Yang Hui, but at first glance he knew how to operate, which was almost the same as the union system of the online game in the previous life, only more detailed, under the commander extended like a tree diagram, a deputy commander, a chief of intelligence, a commander-in-chief, a chief of staff......
"Are there any fixed candidates for these positions?"
[Commanders can make changes.] γ
Hearing this, Yang Hui nodded, it's not a rule that is completely set to death, as there are more and more members of Prometheus Fortress, these positions are definitely not enough, there are too many outstanding talents.
"Okay, now tell me how I'm going to get to another world."
[The interval between world missions is one month, and the commander can enter the mission world in advance, no matter how long the commander has been in the mission world, the time of Prometheus Fortress will be fixed at one week.] γ
"That means, no matter how long we've been in other worlds, it's only been a week since we've returned to Prometheus Fortress, right?"
[Correct.] γ
"So how is the mission world determined?"
[Randomly selected from the database, and the current followers are also randomly selected from the commander's direct squad, and will not change until the commander upgrades the central lobby and unlocks higher permissions.] γ
"Huh!?"
This one made everyone dumbfounded, and the personnel were randomly selected? So what are they doing with them? If you're unlucky enough not to get drawn, wouldn't you waste a week in Prometheus Fortress and then pray for yourself to be drawn on the next mission?
"Yang Hui, it seems that upgrading the central hall is the top priority." The emperor said.
"Well, let's get everything clear first, and then we'll have a meeting to determine the next steps."
"Hmm."
Subsequently, everyone asked their doubts one after another, and Mephis was also very conscientious, and every question was answered in detail.
One of the most important is the issue of their longevity, after all, they have traveled to other worlds, although only a week has passed in Prometheus Fortress, but they have spent a few years or even more than ten years, that is to say, Yang Hui went on a mission, and when he came back, he might become an old man, but the emperor was still as beautiful as a flower, which was very embarrassing.
Moreover, it is a big project to rebuild the fortress of Prometheus, and it is impossible to complete it in the short term.
However, they also got the perfect answer, that is, after becoming a member of Prometheus Fortress, their age has been fixed, and if they are children, they will only grow up to 25 years old at most, and the elderly will return to their youth after entering, and although the physical age will also grow with them when they enter the mission world, it is just the appearance, and on the premise that they will not die in battle or die of disease, even if they are centenarians in appearance, their bodies still maintain the functions of their youth.
And they all got their own panels, such as Graham's MS driving is B-, Moment, Lyle and Tieria are all C+, and there are some unique skills, such as the Emperor's [Tactical Forecaster] - which can speed up the brain when analyzing intelligence and making plans; There is also Wang Liumei's [Super Spy] - the chance of being discovered after performing a spy mission is greatly reduced, and so on.
Although there are many things that want to complain, it is a more reasonable way, and if you can stay young forever, the emperor and Wang Liumei and the female members who will continue to join in the future will not have any objections.
After understanding the necessary information, Yang Hui first set up everyone's authority, for example, the emperor directly gave the deputy commander, Wang Liumei was the chief of intelligence, and after raising several people to the highest authority, let each go to arrange their own rooms first, and then hold a meeting in half an hour.
The emperor and Wang Liumei naturally did not need a separate room, and after symbolically asking Yang Hui's suggestion, they went to decorate the new house together, and Yang Hui stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the ruins and void outside the window, feeling emotional.
"Hehe, I didn't expect me to have such an encounter, it was already very strange to be reborn in the Gundam OO world." Yang Hui shook his head and smiled bitterly, feeling that the world is impermanent, he was originally just an otaku who ate and waited for death, but he accidentally traveled to the Gundam OO world, drove to the Gundam he liked, found an excellent fiancΓ©e, and experienced a passionate battle.
Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, he could travel to more worlds, and he was forced to take on a great responsibility.
"Mephis, why me?" Yang Hui asked, he didn't believe that this was a random choice, in case he chose a commander with a wrong outlook, I am afraid that without the enemy from other positions, Prometheus Fortress would become the castle of the Great Demon King.
[The world where the commander was originally located was invaded by [insufficient authority], the database was screened, analyzed, and calculated, and the commander was the most suitable person, the existence of the Prometheus Fortress is not for a certain civilization, but for the balance of all universes. γ
"Blue Star has been invaded? So the white light I saw before ...... "That was Yang Hui's last memory in Blue Star."
[Just as the commander guessed.] γ
"Well, I have one more question, what if...... What happens if I fail my mission, or if I become a villain? β
[If the mission fails, I will leave the commander and re-select the test subject.] γ
"Okay, then I'm really glad that I'm a five-good young man who grew up under the red flag, but ......," Yang Hui said, bringing up the personnel authority panel, and pointed out the option that Mephis had hidden before-the commander heir.
ββ¦β¦ Make King Lee Norriga the Commander Heir, and if anything happens to me, she'll be your new Commander. β
[Completed.] γ
