[Star Ascending Mission: New Leaf City

Mission Rating: 1 star

Difficulty: S level

Mission Type: Single-player

Mission Mode: Guardian Mode

Background: In 2274, the Blue Star under the rule of the Heavenly Palace was in chaos. As the largest port city along the coast, Xinyecheng involves the interests of all parties, and there are many disputes between the fish and the dragon.

Objective: Choose a martial arts hall on Wuhun Street to protect it, so that it will not be forced to close, with a time limit of two months.

In his personal space, Zhao Yan saw the content of his ascension mission on the electronic screen.

The Star Ascension mission is definitely a solo S-Rank, and the difficulty is also among the top in the S-Rank!

In addition, the mission world involved in the Star Upgrading mission is usually very large, and the level of combat power in it will not be limited to the star level of the mission itself.

For example, in a one-star ascension mission, players have a high probability of encountering a strong player with two-star or even three-star combat power in the mission world.

"Gunfire" does this to allow players to get in touch with higher-level worlds and opponents in advance, and if they can't adapt, then even if they succeed in rising to the stars, they won't be able to survive long in the high-star mission world.

But these are nothing to Zhao Yan.

Even if his current combat strength is not at the four-star level, it is almost the same, and to deal with a one-star ascension mission, as long as he does not die, there is basically no accident.

"New Leaf City?"

Zhao Yan had already seen all the one-star S-level missions organized by the Dragon Teng Club in advance, and there was no "New Leaf City" among them, so this might be a mission world that had just been refreshed.

"2274, the future world?"

Zhao Yan looked at the time written in the background of the mission, if it was compared with the time in the present world, then this mission was very likely to be in the future world, which made him look forward to it.

"The Death of China" can be regarded as a parallel world of the past, and after experiencing the history of the 'past', Zhao Yan also wants to see the scenery of the 'future'.

The equipment he chose to bring in were: a tiger gun, nano-sized body armor and a Chinese badge.

Among them, the nano-level body armor is a new one directly given by the Dragon Teng Society, and the Chinese badge can allow Zhao Yan to gain the favor of the Chinese in any mission world with Chinese, which helps him integrate into the mission world more conveniently.

The props he chose to bring in were: S-class (one-star) prop Iron Wolf Summoning Order X1, S-class (one-star) high-intensity miniature remote-controlled bomb X10, and S-class (one-star) signal jamming electromagnetic bomb X10.

Among them, the high-intensity miniature remote-controlled bomb, Zhao Yan felt that it was very easy to use after using it once in the home world, so he asked for another ten from the Dragon Tenghui.

As for the final signal jamming electromagnetic bomb, Zhao Yan felt that it would be very useful in some special times, so he also asked for ten of them from the Longteng Society.

After making all the preparations, Zhao Yan chose to teleport into the mission world.

By the time Zhao Yan came back to his senses, he had already appeared on a street.

Looking around, there are many high-rise buildings, people coming and going on the streets, and there is a constant flow of traffic.

At a glance, this is a bustling modern city, and there are no maglev flying cars flying all over the sky as Zhao Yan imagined, holographic stereoscopic projection advertisements and so on.

"Could it be that the timeline of this world is further back, and the level of technology is about the same as that of the present world?"

Such a thought flashed in Zhao Yan's heart.

He was standing under a wooden gatehouse, with vermilion columns, bright yellow beams, and flying horns and heavy eaves, full of antique charm, which made him feel very kind.

Looking up, there is a huge door plaque on the door square, on which three big characters are written - Wuhun Street.

This is the Wuhun Street mentioned in the mission.

Zhao Yan looked at the buildings inside, which were also full of ancient style, and felt a bit like a foreign Chinatown in the real world.

He stepped inside.

Unlike the bustling street scene outside, there was not a single pedestrian on Wuhun Street, and all the martial arts halls that Zhao Yan passed along the way were all closed, which looked very depressed.

What really made Zhao Yan feel amazing was the names of these martial arts halls:

STG Three-in-One Gym.

Heavy artillery military fist.

The Zero fighter's empty-handed flow.

Million volts chopping sword

"Are these really martial arts halls?"

The corners of Zhao Yan's mouth twitched, and he only felt that the painting style was wrong.

However, this also made him more and more curious about the martial arts of this world.

After walking a few hundred meters, he stopped in front of a martial arts hall called 'Flying Electric Sword'.

The door of this martial arts hall is open.

Zhao Yan walked in, and the front desk was empty.

"Excuse me, anyone?"

He shouted.

As soon as the words fell, a young man rushed out angrily:

"How dare you come?!"

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment when he saw this person.

The other party was wearing a white vest, and the two arms exposed were actually mechanical.

"The warriors of this world take the route of human body transformation?"

Zhao Yan guessed in his heart.

"Who are you?"

The young man who rushed out was also stunned when he saw Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan wore a white casual jacket, black sweatpants and gray sneakers, looking polite, much like a college student who was still studying.

The young man originally thought that someone was making trouble again, but after seeing Zhao Yan, he felt that the other party was like this, and it might not hurt to beat someone, not like a bad person.

"Ah Le, don't be impulsive."

Another person came out of the room, a middle-aged man with a calm temperament, wearing a cyan robe and black cloth shoes, with a straight posture.

Zhao Yan noticed that the hands of the person who came were silver-gray, full of metallic luster, and they were obviously also transformed.

"Big brother."

The young man known as Ah Le leans sideways to give up his position.

The man in the green shirt looked at Zhao Yan and asked gently:

"Hello, what are you doing?"

"I'm here to learn boxing."

Zhao Yan said with a smile.

Then he remembered the name of this martial arts hall, so he added: "It's okay to learn swords." ”

"You want to learn swords?!"

Ah Le looked at Zhao Yan in surprise.

The elder brother with a calm temperament also has a somewhat strange expression:

"Are you sure you want to learn the sword?"

Zhao Yan looked at him and asked rhetorically, "Why, you don't accept students now?" ”

"You"

Ah Le was about to speak, but was stopped by the senior brother.

He looked at Zhao Yan: "You come in with me." ”

After speaking, he took Zhao Yan into the inner room.

Inside was a mess of halls, and more than a dozen martial arts hall disciples were standing or sitting.

These martial arts hall disciples all have traces of transformation on their bodies, and they all have injuries on their bodies.

Someone's wounds are still bleeding, someone's robotic arm is broken, and parts are spilled all over the floor.

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they saw Senior Brother coming in with Zhao Yan.

"As you can see, we're in some tricky situations right now, and if you come into contact with our martial arts hall now, you might be in danger, so I'd suggest you'd better come back later."

Senior Brother said to Zhao Yan sincerely.

Zhao Yan was not surprised by this.

This mission mode is 'Guardian Mode', which usually allows the player to protect someone in the mission world who may be assassinated or terrorized.

And Zhao Yan's mission goal this time is to ask him to guard a martial arts hall, which is essentially similar to guarding someone.

"Master, can you tell me about the tricky thing?"

Zhao Yan asked.

Senior Brother frowned slightly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you better not ask more." ”

After saying that, you have to let people send off guests.

Under normal circumstances, if Zhao Yan wants to gain the trust of these people in front of him, it will take a lot of effort to initially integrate into a martial arts hall, but he has an easier way.

"You're Chinese, aren't you?"

Zhao Yan asked.

The senior brother was stunned and nodded.

So Zhao Yan's heart moved, and the Chinese badge was taken out of the equipment bar by him and quietly appeared in his trouser pocket.

This badge doesn't need to be seen to be directly functional.

The senior brother who had just frowned suddenly felt cordial to Zhao Yan, and he didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that the person in front of him was very trustworthy and respectful!

It's a ridiculous feeling, but it's so natural.

"I'm also Chinese, so I wanted to know more about it, maybe I can help."

Zhao Yan said with a smile.

With the assistance of the Chinese badge, the elder brother's perception of him had changed, and after a moment's hesitation, he led him into a reception room, and at the same time ordered someone to make tea.

After the tea was delivered, Zhao Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip, and the senior brother of the martial arts hall named Qiao Minggui said slowly:

"When New Leaf City was first established, this Wuhun Street existed, and like New Leaf City, it has a history of nearly 100 years. Wuhun Street has always had a rule, whoever wants to open a new martial arts hall here, must stand up and accept the challenge of various sects, and only martial artists who can pass three levels in a row are qualified to open a museum here to accept apprentices.

Seven years ago, there was a master named Yan Maoyun who came here with his son and wanted to open a martial arts gym. But Master Yan failed to pass the three levels, and finally had to leave gloomily. I never thought that seven years later, Master Yan's son came to the door again, and this time the other party was not going to open a martial arts hall, but to demolish the entire martial arts street!

Master Yan's son is now working for Tianhua Group, and this time he is targeting Wuhun Street, not only his personal meaning, but also the will of Tianhua Group behind it. Before you came, the people of Tianhua Group had just left, and my juniors and disciples were injured by the other party's people. ”

Qiao Minggui briefly told Zhao Yan the whole story.

"Tell me about Tianhua Group."

Zhao Yan said to Qiao Minggui.

He knew that the key to this mission was this Tianhua Group.

"You don't know about Tianhua Group?"

Qiao Minggui was a little surprised.

"Yes, I just came to New Leaf City, and I don't know a lot of things."

"You connect my brain, I'll send you the relevant information."

"Well, I don't have a brain."

Zhao Yan looked at Qiao Minggui with some embarrassment.

"You don't have a brain?!"

Qiao Minggui was even more surprised this time.

Zhao Yan felt that this emotion was probably the same as someone telling him that he didn't have a mobile phone.

"I see."

Qiao Minggui glanced at Zhao Yan, seemed to understand something, and suddenly stood up, "You wait for me." ”

With that, he got up and walked out of the reception room.

A few minutes later, he held a black, very thick metal glasses in his hand and handed it to Zhao Yan:

"Then you can use this first."

Zhao Yan took the glasses, a little heavy.

When worn on the eyes, the lenses in front of the eyes become electronic screens.

This interface and operation mode are very similar to the explorer glasses that Zhao Yan used before, so he quickly got started.

"You received a new letter."

A message appeared in Zhao Yan's interface.

This was obviously sent by Qiao Minggui, but Zhao Yan didn't see the other party operating any electronic devices at all, just sat there quietly, and the news was actually sent.

"It seems that the technological level of this world is indeed ahead of the current world."

Zhao Yan thought so, and then 'clicked' the letter on the electronic screen.

Inside is information about Tianhua Group, there are words, there are pictures, and there are videos.

To put it simply, Tianhua Group is one of the strongest forces in Xinye City, and the industry involves all aspects, mainly bionic prosthetics.

Tianhua Group's products are selling well throughout the Yahua continent, and its influence is not limited to New Leaf City.

Zhao Yan looked at the various bionic prosthetics that appeared on the electronic screen, and had a preliminary understanding of the world.

It's probably a cyberpunk-style quest world.

"Master Qiao, can I use this to look up some other information?"

Zhao Yan asked.

He wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about the world.

"Yes."

Qiao Minggui nodded and said, "This one you use is an old-fashioned smart glasses, and now almost everyone uses smart brains, if you want to use it, you can take it directly." ”

Smart brain and smart glasses, probably the difference between a smartphone and PHS?

Zhao Yan thought so, and then thanked Qiao Minggui.

Next, he used smart glasses to connect to the world's network and began to understand the history of this world:

Before 2012, the general trend was similar to the real world, with World War I, World War II, Cold War, and World Nuclear Peace.

Since 2012, smart chips that can be connected to the brain have been introduced.

In 2020, the global penetration rate of brain chips will reach 30%, and studies have shown that people's will can burst out with great power with the help of brain chips!

In 2024, humanized warriors with brain chips as the control center will appear in various countries one after another.

In 2035, new warriors who have undergone human body modification will become the main force of the war.

In 2065, an organization called the Heavenly Palace declared war on the world, claiming to create a new world, and politicians from various countries were assassinated one after another.

In 2068, it only took three years for the overwhelming power of the 'Heavenly Palace' to achieve victory!

At this point, Blue Star has no concept of a country, and the four continents are divided into provinces, cities, towns and villages.

After a general understanding of the history of this world, Zhao Yan began to focus on understanding the so-called new martial artists in this world:

Compared with the old-style martial artists who worked hard in the past to hone their bodies, form muscle memory, and exercise various fighting skills, the core of the new martial arts is only two:

One is to use the power of one's own heart magnetism with the help of brain chips.

The second is to constantly replace more powerful prosthetics.

The latter is well understood, and the former is characteristic of this world.

With the popularity of brain chips, some gifted people have found themselves able to directly sense and read electronic information from the outside world with the help of brain chips.

To put it simply, what human beings can understand and understand is human language, but this kind of person directly 'reads' electromagnetic waves!

And that's not even the most incredible.

As time goes by, some people become more and more talented, and they have become more and more talented than just perceiving and reading electromagnetic waves, and even directly manipulating and changing them!

As small as becoming the top hacker, it can easily hack into other systems.

It is so large that it directly converts electromagnetic waves into light energy, electrical energy, and even nuclear energy!

This is a phenomenon that is difficult to explain with existing science, because it is so incredible that one can only classify it as metaphysics:

The human will is combined with electromagnetic waves to produce a special reaction that forms a completely new force.

The warriors of this world have turned this power into a telepathic force.

A strong martial artist, in addition to having a strong prosthetic body, is more important to have a strong mental magnetic power.

"That's interesting."

Zhao Yan took off his smart glasses and exclaimed.

Although it is only a preliminary understanding, he has already developed a strong interest and expectation in the power system of this world:

"What is the difference between the power of the heart and the power of the mind? Could it be a type of mental power? ”

In addition, Zhao Yan also thought of one point:

"The power system of this world is perfectly suited to the transformation of the human body, and if I can bring back the complete cultivation method, maybe it will have a great impact on this world."

There are only two enhancement routes on the bright side of the world of "Gunfire": genetic enhancement and human modification.

Among them, human body modification is very strong in the early stage, but it has been weak since the four-star start, and it will gradually be opened up by genetically strengthened players.

So far, all the five-star players in the world have taken the route of genetic enhancement, and none of the players who have taken the route of human modification have been able to be promoted to five-star.

Therefore, the major organizations in the world will explain the pros and cons to the newcomers who have just joined at the beginning, and advise those potential newcomers not to take the human modification route.

But judging from the power system of the world of "New Leaf City", human body transformation can also have a great future!

Among the materials that Zhao Yan found on the Internet, the most powerful transformation martial artist was even comparable to a humanoid nuclear bomb!

"Brother Zhao, now you should know the weight of Tianhua Group, I advise you not to wade into this troubled water."

Qiao Minggui said to Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan stood up and said to him with a smile, "Master Qiao, thank you for your glasses." ”

"You're welcome."

Qiao Minggui thought that Zhao Yan had listened to his words, so he got up and sent him out of the martial arts hall.

Walking out of the door of the 'Flying Electric Sword' martial arts hall, Zhao Yan once again put on the smart glasses that Qiao Minggui gave him, and turned on the 'panoramic mode'.

In the next second, the whole world became different in his eyes:

The originally deserted Wuhun Street became lively, and there was a three-dimensional image playing above each martial arts hall, and various lights and shadows were intertwined, making the entire Wuhun Street appear colorful and gorgeous.

Zhao Yan looked up at the 'Flying Electric Sword', and saw a white-clothed swordsman standing on a skyscraper, with one hand and one finger, a flying sword flashing with blue electric light fell from the sky, and then flew around him quickly, leaving a large piece of plasma, like a thunder pool.

While looking at this three-dimensional video, there is also a matching sound playing from the smart glasses.

"Awesome."

Zhao Yan sighed with emotion, and looked at the images of the rest of the martial arts hall one by one with interest.

The whole New Leaf City is almost like this, there are this kind of holographic three-dimensional advertisements everywhere, those who look at the obvious ordinary stores, shopping malls, parks, etc. with the naked eye, and use the 'panoramic mode' to see, you will see a completely different scene.

And Qiao Minggui also told Zhao Yan that the smart glasses he uses only have 'panoramic mode', and if you use the smart brain, you can also choose 'immersive mode', which will make people feel immersive and more real!

In fact, the brain is another name for the brain chip, which has been integrated into people's lives in an all-round way.

In this day and age, not having a brain is as inconvenient as not having a mobile phone in this world.

Zhao Yan walked out of Wuhun Street wearing smart glasses and was shocked by the 'gorgeous' scene in the outside world.

Not only the surrounding buildings, but also the pedestrians and vehicles on the street have their own different light and shadow effects, and some even have their own BGM.

All of this now is very much in line with Zhao Yan's expectations for the future world.

Suddenly, he felt a wave of hostility.

Turning around, he saw two men with black flames burning all over their bodies walking towards him, like evil spirits coming out of hell.

Turn off panorama mode.

Zhao Yan commanded with his voice.

In the next second, everything in front of me returned to normal.

The two men who approached him were wearing baseball uniforms and tattoos, and one of them had a modified right arm that had been replaced with a robotic arm.

"Hey, where did you come from?"

A man pointed at Zhao Yan and said very unceremoniously:

"Don't come to this street again, do you hear?"

"Are you from the Tianhua Group?"

Zhao Yan asked calmly.

"What the do you"

Brush –

Zhao Yan didn't let the other party finish his words, stepped forward, instantly crossed a distance of seven or eight meters, and pushed out with a fluttering palm, making the other party's whole person fly more than ten meters, and finally hit a telephone pole.

Bang!

The pole shook violently.

The man with the modified right arm was left with a horrified expression.

When Zhao Yan was taking a step, his brain chip alerted him as soon as possible, and at the same time gave Zhao Yan's forward route and attack intention, and gave a plan to deal with it.

He also handed over his body to the chip and algorithm for the first time, and let Zhi Brain control his mechanical arm to make movements.

But Zhao Yan's speed is too fast!

As soon as his mechanical arm was raised, Zhao Yan had already rushed in front of him and shot his companion away.

"This is a master?!"

Such a thought flashed through his mind, and at the same time, the chip's own algorithm also gave a new way to deal with it.

So the mechanical arm he raised began to sweep to the right with a thousand momentum.

Syllable!

The sweeping mechanical arm came to an abrupt halt, and a white palm pressed against the black metal.

The algorithm gives the first way to deal with it: increase the output of the robotic arm.

But. Three seconds later, the mechanical arm that was held down by Zhao Yan with one hand did not move at all.

The latest information the man received was that his arm had reached its maximum output.

"You"

He finally realized that he had kicked the iron plate.

It's just that no matter how you look at it, you can't associate the young man with the appearance of the student in front of you, the young man with a quiet temperament, and the master.

"That's it?"

The other party spoke.

Looks a little disappointed.

PS: Actually, before opening this book, I wanted to write a book of cyber martial arts, but cyber is too niche, and I was worried about hitting the street, so I finally opened this one.

But I've always been interested in cyber martial arts, and this new copy can be regarded as a dream come true~ (End of this chapter)
