Chapter 177: The Beginning of the Public Universe

Ian intends to make a copy.

[Select the region, the city of the poor. 】

[Entering the matchmaking state, the system will search for copies of the preparation stage in the Endless City.] 】

Each player's name appears on the matchmaking screen.

This is the teaming feature of the Extreme City.

It is located in the public universe, and the resources of the quest are larger than the private universe.

"Hey, can you limit the dungeon area?"

Ian suddenly discovers that the matching star map of the sequence system has tasks in various areas.

They are: the Raiders Star Pirates, completing the commission to forge civilizations, and collecting exotic plants in the universe......

When players choose a sequence dungeon, they can also claim some quests, and they will have special quests at the beginning of the quest!

"It turns out that the city of the poor still has this kind of function...... I'll just say......"

Ian seems to have discovered a strange toy, and quickly familiarizes himself with the functions of the Extreme City.

The black box universe copy, the cat and the cat knew the universe black box at the beginning, and behaved as if he had known it for a long time.

Now it seems that she picked up the special quest in advance, and then locked the dungeon in a certain range!

Ian can also try to open a copy of the public universe.

He is now level 26, and he can only obtain attribute points and skill points when he upgrades, and his real combat power is manifested in equipment, skills, and sequence abilities.

As the hierarchy and sequence increase, another hard requirement emerges.

Technology.

Whether it is the mechanical body on the technology side or the rainbow cannon on the mysterious side, Ian is shocked and stimulates his enthusiasm at the same time.

He manipulates the sequence system and locks the range.

【Ding! You choose to take the White Hole Galaxy as the center, extending outward for 10,000 light-years to find a possible public copy of the universe. 】

[The bias you choose is: equipment, breakthrough technology.] 】

【Searching......】

The city of the Dead is so powerful that it can even allow players to join forces to accomplish a single objective.

Ian receives the mission of the Public Universe.

【Ding! You have received the quest "Collect Materials for the Furnace Civilization", and you will be rewarded for completing it. 】

'10 Phantasmal Star drones, the equipment has been upgraded, and the elixir is sufficient. ’

Ian watched as the copy counted the seconds.

Start searching, 1 second ...... 2…… 3……

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the sequence system searched for a task that met Ian's requirements.

Ian was overjoyed and joined the dungeon's team.

Sou.

The teleportation force moved him to the location of the team, which was located in a huge abandoned starport, where countless ships that had been broken from the space station were still in disarray.

A blue, translucent, glowing banner that tells the player where this is.

'Where are you at the moment...... Forge civilization, space ship recovery port. ’

'Abide by the law and be a good citizen of Samsung. Violation of the public law of the furnace is punishable. ’

The banner of public law that needs to be obeyed is not written, I am afraid that it is thought that all outsiders know the information.

The players looked nervous.

"A level 30 high-threat dungeon, in the public universe, we need to be more cautious than usual in our play."

"Do you need to complete a special mission? There are a lot of shipwrecks nearby, if you can dismantle the usable ship AI core...... We're going to make a fortune! ”

They each formed their own teams.

【Ding! Player Outlander, you are currently working on a copy of the Public Universe. 】

[You have received the quest "Collect Materials for the Furnace Civilization" to start.] 】

A copy of the public universe, unlike the Sequence World, is just an area of the public universe.

There is no way for players to leave this place until the quest ends.

All they need to do is follow the prompts and complete their own tasks.

"Uh...... The mission says that a team of interstellar pirates will soon come to steal supplies, and we, as the helpers of the Forge, need to stop him. ”

A team of players is also entering the Public Universe dungeon for the first time, and they are talking loudly.

Ian didn't have that task.

He leaves the player group and enters the abandoned Starport.

The main part of the whole body is iron blue, showing a cold and murderous temperament, and the edges are iron and blood outlined in crimson.

The blood-red flames and furnaces are the emblems of their civilization.

This is the Furnace Civilization, a high-level civilization that mainly sells crafts and equipment, and indirectly has a reputation in the public universe.

Players each receive a mission for the Furnace Civilization, and they are in one of the Furnace Civilization's starports.

Ian saw a mechanical humanoid standing guard on the side of the road.

"Delegate, you have the right to stay in Starport temporarily, please carry out the mission you received."

The humanoid mechanical body is all black, and has no face, just a two-meter black man.

"I'm the Starport Guard 'V-11', you can check the map of the Starport from me and ask me questions within my authority."

With that, V-11 waited for Ian to respond.

Ian thought for a moment, "I want to search for a high-voltage core, a cooling unit, an energy fuse controller. ”

This is his special quest, and after completing it, he can earn a lot of experience points, as well as materials for breakthrough techniques.

V-11 replied, "Delegate, your mission is located on the 21st floor of Starport, please use the space elevator to get to the work area. ”

"Since Starport has been unmaintained for a long time, there will be runaway machinery and mutant beasts underground."

"If you run out of ammunition for your weapon, you can restock it in the red area, and that's the answer to your question."

Negative 21 floors?

Access via the space elevator.

Ian looked left and right and found a small employee elevator.

Inside was marked the button for the -21st floor, and when Ian clicked it, the elevator began to wait.

Some players are tasked with fighting pirates, and they've already fought their first battles with their magic guns or machines.

Rumble!!

Outside the ship's recovery port, the blasting of explosives unleashes a scorching flame.

"Find your target, kill them!" The player shouts.

The elevator slides down.

Led Ian underground.

Starport, which was originally floating in the sky, was damaged and fell to the ground after the war, and is currently awaiting repairs.

It also performs the task of dismantling ships, but due to the damage to important components caused by violent disassembly, the Forges Civilization has prepared a series of commissions.

Stop interstellar pirates from stealing resources, searching for parts inside abandoned ships, or a series of other missions.

The space elevator plummeted kilometers underground.

"Ding! minus 21 floors. ”

The elevator doors open, and it can go up to minus 10,000 floors, where the Earth's core may be located.

Ian stepped out of the elevator door and was greeted by a vast area lit up by white lights.

It's like a large luxury parking lot, except that it looks like a garbage dump due to the ruins of the damaged ship.

"Sassy-"

Some strange voices appeared around Ian.

He remembered V-11's words, and since the abandoned starport was unmaintained, some of the automatons had rebelled.

Except for players who are confident in their strength and want to get breakthrough technology, and there are also interstellar pirates who don't want to die, no one wants to come to such a dangerous place.

"Buzz...... Detects a target that is not on the whitelist and opens fire tentatively. ”

An electronic sound rang out from the darkness, and Eagle Vision marked Ian's vision red, forming a red path.

Hot lasers erupted from the end, shooting towards Ian.

Ian dodged and summoned the seagull with a wave of his right hand and activated his mental space.

The mechanical body that remained in the mental space materialized, and as soon as it appeared, it launched an attack on the enemy.

Zizi Zi !!

10 bursts of scorching lasers melt the ruins of steel into molten iron.

The target of the attack on Ian was instantly destroyed by the blow, and an explosion went out.

"Warning! The body is badly damaged, and there is no energy source ......"

Electronic tone stalls.

Ian walked over and saw that it was a humanoid machine, with its limbs removed and its head equipped with anthropomorphic facial features.

[Name: Mechanical Agent]

[Level: 30]

[Sequence: Gold]

[HP: 0/5000, Shield Value: 0/2500]

[Attack Module: Severely damaged, unable to fire.] 】

[Defense Module: Penetrated by an unknown weapon, unable to be repaired independently.] 】

[Description: A mechanical agent who can disguise himself as a normal person, usually haunts various high-end banquets, and acts as a waiter at banquets.] 】

Autonomous mechanical bodies on the technology side.

Ian snapped off its skull, pulling a chip out of it, before dismantling the entire machine into pieces.

He's unlocked the tech side, whether it's dismantling the parts or handing them over to the researchers, waiting for civilization to progress.

He can all reap the benefits.

【Ding! A level 30 gold sequence mechanical body was completely dismantled. 】

[Skill points obtained: 300 points (skill points can be used to speed up research and ensure that demolition work has a higher likelihood)]

The setting of the technology side, the skill value.

Skill points can be infinitely stacked, and the more skill points you have, the more ingenious the player will be.

At the same time, it can increase the success rate of dismantling work.

Ian frowned as he looked at the pieces that had become fragments under his hands.

Due to the low skill value, some of the dismantled parts were broken, and he didn't notice it in time.

Dismantle some more mechanical brush skill values.

Everything you get after killing a runaway machine belongs to the player.

The abandoned ships and materials on the site are all resources of the Furnace Civilization, and the cameras that can be seen everywhere will record the player's behavior.

If a player violates the rules, not only will they fail special missions, but they will also be wanted by the Forge.

A few more broken machines noticed Ian.

Ian pulls his bow and shoots an arrow, and the alloy arrow pierces the target, shattering the cable that hides inside.

Losing the function of the cable, the mechanical body suddenly shuts down, leaving it to be slaughtered.

【Ding! Kill [Mechanical Runaway Unit]

[Loot obtained: EXP *2298, raffle points *1810.] 】

Ian used some of the items obtained in the lottery in this dungeon to make it easier for himself.

He kept an eye out for movement in the distance.

Most of the out-of-control mechs are in a dilapidated state.

Their health is depleted, and their shield is not restored to its peak.

However, there are still parts of the machine that are intact, and they may have completed themselves by unloading other machines.

The entire abandoned starport is like a ghost harbor, with no living people to manage it, only commissioners and pirates who carry out tasks.

The rest is the runaway machine and the normal machine V-11.

Footsteps echoed in the empty space.

The people who operate in the starport are not players, and only the interstellar pirates are left.

Ian looked back.

A bright searchlight shone into his eye, and the massive drill bit pierced the roof, revealing a spiral-shaped tip.

Each floor is made of space alloy partitions, and the elevator cannot be handed over to pirates.

If they want to enter the underground level, they have to rely on this kind of violence.

With the high temperature, the bricks broke through all the way to the layer below, and a deep circular hole with a diameter of fifty meters appeared in front of Ian.

Boy......

Ian didn't plan to care, it's normal to mess up here, after all, it's no man's land.

However, he had barely turned around when a group of people jumped down from the hollow where the molten iron remained.

"Wuhu~"

They landed on the surface and caught a glimpse of Ian.

"It's the enemy!"

The interstellar pirate's pupils constricted, and he didn't realize that there were enemies underground, so he immediately raised his gun and aimed at Ian.

Shots rang out, and Ian's figure vanished in a flash.

Tut.

Star pirates are really annoying, like mad dogs.

Ian dodged and moved to the back of the wall, and the high-energy bullet pierced through the steel plate, sending a pungent smell wafted through it.

"Head! There's an enemy on this level, let's not go down first! ”

Interstellar pirates talk with encrypted walkie-talkies.

Their words are translated by the sequence system for Ian to hear.

There are other interstellar pirates on the lower floors, and he first takes out the enemies on the minus 21 floors to complete his special mission.

Phantasmal Star Drone, unfold!

Ian's figure flashed, and 10 drones unfolded from behind him.

Zizizi!!

Phantasmal rays are fired at a multitude of interstellar pirates, and when several people are about to be cut in half, the seagull snorts a resentful peck.

Ian is equipped with an electromagnetic arrow that can cause a small area of electricity and shoots it at the group of interstellar pirates.

The interstellar pirates tried to dodge, but they saw a dense stream of heat, and they couldn't dodge, and the arrow pierced a man's chest.

Bang!

The electric current exploded at this moment, and the blue current immediately paralyzed a person, and the equipment on the pirate next to him also failed instantly.

Ian uses the locks brought by the Hunt Marker to take out the enemies on the spot one by one.

He took a deep breath and launched the Shadowless Dash.

The level 32 Golden Sequence Pirate is still using his spiritual power to pick up a piece of spaceship wreckage and want to smash the drone.

The next moment, Ian's figure appeared behind him.

The pirate's pupils constricted, and he saw Ian put his hand on his waist, where there was a strange knife.

The handle of the knife is not a normal handle, but a trigger for a firearm.

Ian pulled the trigger, and the current and impact carried the strength of his whole body, and he swung a knife and slashed.

Qiang β€”β€”!!

The interstellar pirate's waist was cut off diagonally by the knife, and he fell to the ground with a heavy blow.

Ian shook off the blood from the high-frequency village rain knife.

Without much effort, more than thirty powerful interstellar pirates were all dealt with by Ian alone.

"Delegator."

V-11 descends through the space elevator, and it sees Ian's record:

"You are very strong! Much stronger than other clients, Starport needs your help. ”

Help?

Could it be another special task?

【Ding! Law enforcement unit V-11 wants to hand you a hunting commission. 】

[You need to go to the minus 59 floor to stop the interstellar sea from stealing the cruiser battle data.] 】

[Mission Reward: Cruiser Research Progress +50%, AI Combat Improvement (Technical Data)]

Not bad!

What a nice extra quest.

Ian's "Adventure Leader" is the Hunter's superior replacement.

And the task of killing interstellar pirates, which belongs to hunting pirates, triggers the position ability.

High-level special missions, starting with 5000 additional experience points.

Ian readily accepted, "No problem, leave this matter to me." ”

【Ding! You have received the V-11 mission, complete it within 42 minutes, or the Star Pirates will escape from the starport. 】

There are 42 minutes left, so let's say.

Ian first found all the parts in the minus 21 floor.

[You have collected the special task "Collect Materials", you can choose to submit the mission.] 】

"Submit."

A copy of the public universe, with varying levels between civilizations.

As soon as Ian clicks submit, the parts he has immediately disappear into light and the special mission is completed.

【Ding! You have completed the special mission "Collect Parts". 】

[Rewards: EXP *5600, Breakthrough Technology [Pseudo-Intelligence Core], Ship Parts*12......]

After the special mission is completed.

Ian was about to move, and a light coalesced in front of him.

It's a player, named "You flashed to my Black Mountain Waist", a strange name, simply "Black Mountain Old Waist".

The Black Mountain Boss is a Mystic player who uses Blink to reach the minus 21st floor.

He wasn't too surprised to see Ian, there was a man on the minimap.

"Hey!" He greeted, "What genre on the tech side?" ”

He'd never seen a Phantasmal Drone before, and 10 Phantasmal Drones were behind Ian, about the same as 10 turrets.

When Ian heard this, his eyes suddenly became strange.

He's still holding a mandala bow, shouldn't he be treated as a mystical side?

Oh...... The presence of the Phantasmal Star UAV is too strong.

Ian silently put away the mandala bow and switched to the charged rifle:

"Yes, I'm on the technology side, and the machine is soaring."

Anyway, the Phantom Star Drone in this copy has made a great contribution, and it can be regarded as in line with the mainstream with two rounds of charged rifles.

The old demon of Montenegro nodded, first made peace with Ian, and then shared the mission information:

"I received the V-11's extermination mission, killing the pirates of minus 59 floors and protecting the cruiser's combat data."

There is no limit to how many quests can be claimed by one player.

However, the greater the player's contribution to the mission, the more loot they can earn.

Thinking of this, Ian walked over to the hole in the borehole, which had cooled from the hot bit.

Looking down, it's dark, and you can't see the bottom at all.

Jump from here, faster than a space elevator.

The elevator's light indicator has been turned off, and it seems that the tech side has used the hacking skill.

Ian will also be hacked.

He placed his hand next to the exposed cable of the space elevator, and the tech side skill window popped up.

The translucent blue window displays Ian's abilities.

'Hacked. ’

Ian unleashes his skill, and a dense code pops up in the window.

The light flickered, and the image appeared in Ian's mind, which was the fire protection system of the minus 59 floor.

He hacked the monitoring of the fire protection system and deactivated the space elevator without arousing the suspicion of the interstellar pirates.

Keep hacking.

Quietly, Ian took control of the tower crane on the minus 59 floor, controlling it to turn slowly.

The tower crane carried more than a dozen tons of steel, and it swayed and hung over the heads of the interstellar pirates.

Shadows obscure a certain light source.

The elated interstellar pirates looked up and saw the steel wires on the tower crane unlocked one by one.

The knot untied itself, and the steel fell to the ground.

"Oops!"

The face of the leader of the interstellar pirates changed drastically: "Retreat, retreat!" Hurry back! ”

Ask for a follow-up and ask for a monthly pass!
