Chapter 7 Entry

In his free time outside of strengthening, Shen Yi also visited many old friends.

Team Yunhai's Zhou Hao entered the fifth difficulty in the first stage, the colonel also went there, and the evil emperor entered three days earlier, obviously trying to avoid him.

But no matter what, at least Shen Yi won't be too lonely in a world of difficulty five.

And Meryl was there too.

The five-difficulty task lasted for a year, and it was synchronized with the real world, so she is still fighting the Zerg there--Zhou Yiyu is very happy about this, because he has another chance. There will be no response.

For the same reason, Shen Yi and the others probably can wait for Lao Meng and others in the second half of the five difficulty time.

Both Cliff and Hua Tianrui still have a mission world before they can enter. The difference is that Cliff is already the leader, while Hua Tianrui is still the heir—his teacher and leader of the Dragon League is still in fifth. Difficulty has not left.

The leisurely years always pass quickly, and before you know it, the one-month vacation will pass quickly, and it will be time to enter the world of difficulty five in a blink of an eye.

The bloody coat of arms sent a notice to Shen Yi one day in advance, but it was of no value, after all, the world had not changed, and neither had the missions, it was nothing more than two main missions and a one-year garrison period.

Therefore, everyone did not make any special preparations. They just got together and had a barbecue party that night, recalling the years along the way, lamenting the hard experience, and completely relaxing the tense spirit.

Everyone drank a little too much that night, and no one restrained themselves, but deliberately let alcohol dominate their bodies.

The result of a hangover is not a headache, but sex.

When he woke up in the morning, Shen Yi found that Wen Rou and Zhao Linger were sticking to him like octopuses. The 3P in his dream was suddenly completed like this, and Shen Yi couldn't help but feel sincerely happy. The two girls probably woke up too, but they didn't move at all, they just pretended to be asleep, they only blinked their eyelids lightly, Shen Yi didn't point them out, but just kissed one of them lightly on the cheek.

"Ah!" A terrified scream suddenly came from the next room.

Shen Yi put on his clothes and went over, only to see Hong Lang pinching the fat man's neck and yelling, "Tell me, what did you do to me last night? What did you do? Ah?"

"I didn't do anything!" The fat man rolled his eyes when he was pinched: "My wine is very good,

If you get drunk, you go straight to sleep. What did you do to me, right? "

"Are you sure?" Hong Lang let go.

He touched his buttocks: "Then why do I feel my butt hurts?"

Fatty and Hong Lang looked at each other, then shouted "Ah" together, and rushed out of the room.

"..." Shen Yi patted his forehead helplessly.

In another room, King Kong came out with his arms around Tina, looked at the backs of the two and said with a smile, "Another unforgettable night, isn't it?"

"That's right... Where's Yi Yu? Where is he?"

"In the yard, he didn't go back to the house, and slept in the open air all night."

"...It seems that you didn't drink much yesterday."

"Actually, I drank too much. It was Tina who carried me back. At that time, Yiyu also wanted to crawl in. Fortunately, Tina threw him out. Fortunately, she was sober, otherwise..." King Kong replied embarrassingly. .

Shen Yi was stunned, and finally burst out laughing, turned around and went into the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone.

After breakfast, we will go to the interstellar world together.

After passing through the light gate, everyone has entered the star world.

Different from the past, they appeared directly in a spacious hall this time. The hall looked like a high-tech ground command center, with countless instruments inside, and some people in white robes were walking around inside. What are they talking to each other.

A middle-aged woman in a white coat wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked directly towards Shen Yi and the others: "Welcome to the simulation world, generals."

Shen Yi and the others looked at each other, only to realize that they were standing on the same platform at the moment.

The platform looks similar to the light transmission platform, but the facilities are obviously more complicated, and the people around them are not surprised by their appearance. Some soldiers in military uniform even salute when they look at them.

"Please don't be surprised, gentlemen." The middle-aged woman had already stood in front of them and said, "This is no longer the world you have experienced in the past. From the moment you stand here, it means that you have completed your career as a soldier." To the transformation of the general, he has become a real warrior who can resist the Zerg. Although this is only a simulated battlefield, it no longer relies on missions to command you as in the past..."

Shen Yi understood a bit: "It's like a recruit who has finished training and started to go to the battlefield, everything is starting to get closer to reality, right?"

"Yes, everyone, welcome to the interstellar battlefield." The middle-aged woman smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "My name is Louise, and I am the guide of the central base, responsible for guiding every general who has just come here to report .If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time, and I will try my best to answer you."

"Central base?" Shen Yi stepped off the platform and looked around the hall.

It does look like a control hall here, with screens everywhere, and wars are still happening on some of the screens, countless soldiers are fighting Zerg, it really looks like the world of "Starship Troopers", the only difference It was probably those brave adventurers who were fighting among the worms. Shen Yi saw that several adventurers were attacking with all their strength and fighting against a group of worms. All kinds of skills were wild, and the scene was extremely bloody.

"Yes, this is the central base of the human side." Louise adjusted her glasses and replied, "Every new general who joins the battlefield will enter here first, and then I will be responsible for explaining everything to them."

"Then you are..." King Kong asked hesitantly.

"NPC, that's what you call the humans created by the system, right?" Louise smiled, she obviously knew her identity very well: "Yes, I'm an NPC, and the rest of them, like me, We are all NPCs, and our responsibility here is to cooperate with you and eliminate those damn bugs. But unlike those ignorant NPCs, I know my origin, what kind of existence I am, and the meaning of my existence. "

"Then you are much happier than them." Shen Yi said.

"That's true." Louise smiled: "Then please come with me."

Louise has taken the lead to move forward.

Shen Yi's eyes stayed on the picture of the hall for a moment, then followed the woman and walked out of the hall.

Through the corridor, they have come to another hall.

The hall is empty, except for a 3D projector in the center.

Louise walked to the 3D projector, lightly pressed the button on it, and a bright curtain of light spread in all directions, and it was astonishingly a galaxy was reflected in people's eyes.

Shen Yi only felt something move slightly in his body, as if it wanted to resonate with this galaxy, he knew that it was the universe deep in his soul, so he quickly suppressed it. Fortunately, this resonance was just the beginning of waves, and soon disappeared.

Louise stood in the galaxy and said, "Look, everyone, this is the interstellar world we are in."

"Damn it, this is much bigger than I imagined." Zhou Yiyu muttered, there are at least thousands of stars shining in this galaxy projection, and it is estimated that it is at least as big as a solar system.

"Then where are we?" Shen Yi asked.

Louise tapped one of the planets, and the planet instantly enlarged like a ball and appeared in front of everyone: "This is the main planet of Nanbury, which is the planet where the central base is located, so it is also called the central star or the main star. It is the main star of the entire simulation world. The most important and core part of it.”

Following the magnified planet, Shen Yi saw that the entire main star was almost densely covered with various defensive forts. In the center of the main star, there is a vast building complex like a city. In that building complex, there is also a tall tower, which looks quite similar to the Tongtian Tower in the city.

As if seeing Shen Yi's doubts, Louise pointed to the building complex and replied: "Yes, this is the central base. As for this tower, it is the core system, which is where we are now."

"We are in the system?" Everyone exclaimed together.

Shouldn't the system be the most critical and the most confidential? How can the adventurer appear directly inside the system?

As if seeing everyone's doubts, Louise smiled and said: "The system is not a separate existence. To be precise, the entire interstellar world is actually a system, but each position is responsible for different parts. Let's understand it this way , the entire system area is the C drive of the computer, and there are many executable files in the C drive. We are now in one of the files. If those bugs are viruses, then you are responsible for killing viruses, and we are It is one of the foundations for building this file, and it is responsible for supporting you. So please ask a few people to enter here first, and then make an appropriate choice after understanding the situation of the entire system."

"Then tell me the details."

With a touch of Louise's hand, the magnified main star was shrunk again, replaced by a group of planets revolving around that main star.

"This is where the generals are. Please see, there are currently twelve planets under the control of the generals, respectively..."

"Twelve?" Hong Lang called out, "But I heard that humans and Zerg each account for half of the country."

"Half of the country has been controlled. In fact, most of the planets in this world belong to the non-occupied area, and there are no people there, including bugs." Louise replied: "The world we live in is very big, and it may not be possible to spend a lifetime. After the exploration, whether it is the real world outside or this simulated world, this is the case. Long-term wars and limited troops make it impossible for humans or Zerg to expand without scruples. Appropriately concentrate troops to protect It is the common choice of both of us to have a territory and then slowly expand it during the battle. However, due to the vast distance and vast area, the expansion seems so insignificant in the eyes of this world."

"What's more, not every planet is suitable for living, even if we are already superhuman." Shen Yi pointed to one of the stars and said.

Louise laughed: "You are right, so the battlefield is still unfolded in this limited planet after all. Please see, these twelve planets are currently occupied by us humans. This is Andromeda, this It's Dragon King Star, this is Zhongwei 1, this is Zhongwei 2..."

Louise introduced the twelve planets occupied by humans one by one to the Broken Blade team. Most of them are not big, the largest is only half the size of the earth, and the smallest asteroid is only about the size of two Chinas. There are some red flags on each planet, varying in density, and each flag represents an adventurer force.

Most of these planets surround the central main star, forming a guard posture. Once the Zerg wants to attack, they must first rush through the blockade of these satellites.

And there are some planets besides those satellites, which are densely packed with blue dots, which are occupied by the Zerg.

Shen Yi counted, and there were about 1,400 red flags, slightly more than what Shen Yi had expected, but the difference was not big, but there were nearly 3,000 blue flags.

If a blue flag represents a brood, then the strength of the Zerg can be imagined.

"So it seems that we are going to choose one of these planets as our residence?" Shen Yi asked.

"Yes." Louise replied: "Even on the twelve occupied planets, there are still large areas of unoccupied space. So except for those areas that have been occupied by the generals, all other blank areas can be occupied by the generals themselves." Choose. When you have selected the territory, you can exchange it at the central main system."

"What do you need in exchange?"

"A lot. The first thing to exchange is the energy converter..." Louise explained to Shen Yi.

As we know from Hua Tianrui, energy converters are the basis for adventurers to obtain resources.

The efficiency of energy conversion depends on many aspects.

Levels of energy converters—energy converters are also divided into high, medium and low levels. The more advanced the energy converter, the higher the conversion efficiency.

The size of the energy conversion field - in the same area, the more energy converters there are, the lower the conversion efficiency will be. This is like the current broadband Internet access is the pursuit of dedicated lines.

Efficiency of energy converter operators - energy converters need to be operated manually, and the number and efficiency of operators directly determine the efficiency of energy conversion.

The location of the energy conversion territory - not every location has the same energy. It's as if people in the inland can't compare the price of seafood with people on the seaside. A good location can also bring higher conversion efficiency.

The above four points determine the efficiency of energy conversion, and at the same time make adventurers face different choices.

For them, the closer they are, the greater the safety factor, but at the same time the lower the conversion efficiency. And the more energy-rich the region is, the more likely it is to trigger a war.

Therefore, the choice is extremely contradictory, and it is precisely because of this that Shen Yi sees that the flags on each planet are sparse and different, the weaker the more the more they want to unite together, the stronger the more they dare to occupy the territory independently, and at the same time there are constant wars.

At this time Louise had already taken out a light yellow bead, this bead looked a bit like the Eye of Hades that Shen Yi saw at the beginning, only slightly smaller in size.

Louise said: "This is the energy beads obtained through the energy converter. This is a standard unit of energy. Each bead can be exchanged for 10,000 points. Each point can be used to exchange for ten points, or one hundred Star Alliance points. currency."

"Star Alliance?" Shen Yi noticed the word.

"Yes, the Star Alliance." Louise affirmed: "This is not an unorganized and loose world. The Star Alliance is the highest organization of human beings here, and the Supreme Council governs the entire Star Alliance."

"The Supreme Council...you mean..."

"Your Supreme Council is also our Supreme Council!" Louise replied: "Whether you or I, we must accept the management of the Supreme Council. When necessary, the Supreme Council will issue tasks to all generals and must be completed."

When she said this, everyone was speechless.

I thought this so-called Interstellar Alliance was a spontaneous organization of NPCs in this world, but I didn't expect it to be directly led and run by the Supreme Council, which means that here, there are no tasks here, but the Supreme Council skipped the system and started direct management up.

Louise has continued: "Alliance currency is used to recruit personnel in this world. The installation of energy converters and the construction of defense facilities require sufficient manpower to be responsible, and even the defense of the territory requires the assistance of soldiers, and the alliance currency is The basic unit of employment."

"In addition, generals can choose to use points or points to redeem any facilities they need. But please note that all items redeemed with points cannot be taken out of this world. Of course, you can also choose to use points to redeem, but I It is recommended that you do not do that, because it means that the facilities you can exchange will be greatly reduced, and what the Zerg love to do most is to launch a surprise attack when the new generals are not stable."

"In addition, the price of items exchanged with points and items exchanged with points will be different, especially for some consumable items, the price will increase sharply, which may be similar to the use of points, and corresponding merits are required. So The idea of ​​exchanging points for consumables is not suitable."

"Thank you for your guidance, I understand." Shen Yi replied: "May I ask what meritorious service is?"

"Merit is your contribution to killing enemies. Although in this world, there is no physical reward for killing Zerg, you can still get war contribution for killing Zerg. War contribution determines your military rank promotion, and can also increase your authority. "

"It turned out to be like this. That is to say, the promotion of military rank here is not calculated by missions, but by killing enemies? In theory, if I kill enough Zergs, I can be promoted to Marshal in just one day."

"That's not the case, General." Louise said: "Killing ordinary Zerg can bring you enough merit, but these merits do not mean that you can be promoted to the corresponding military rank, but the authority in certain aspects will be moderately increased. For example, if you are a major general now, you can recruit 50,000 soldiers, which is your upper limit. But these 50,000 people are not real 50,000 people, but are divided according to strength. Some senior soldiers may be worth ten. Or a hundred people."

"Like the population concept in StarCraft?"

"Yes. Of course, if it is your own soldiers, it belongs to your personal guard and is not included in the upper limit. In addition, as your merit increases, you can increase the upper limit for recruiting some soldiers, or use them to buy some Items that can be purchased through special abnormal channels."

"Special item?"

Louise smiled, and it seemed that she had agreed by default. It turns out that special items can be bought directly here.

Louise continued: "But to increase the rank, in addition to having enough meritorious service, you must also kill specific targets."

"The brood?"

"Yes, you need to kill a low-level brood to be promoted to a general, an intermediate brood to be promoted to an admiral, and a high-level brood to be promoted to a marshal."

"Damn, the second mission said that as long as one brood is killed, it will become three in one go." Hong Lang pointed to the fingerprint.

Louise smiled and replied: "That originally refers to the final promotion, but the previous promotion still needs other foundations, and I am responsible for answering these aspects for you. This is the responsibility of the Supreme Council. There are many things that do not need to be further processed by the system. explained."

"The Supreme Council has really found a good way to deal with the system." Shen Yi also laughed.

It is estimated that this is caused by the Supreme Council's repeated efforts to clean up this broken system. Since I can't control you, I will bypass you.

Have to admit, this is also a way.

"So now, do you have any questions? As long as I know and are allowed to disclose, I will answer them one by one." Louise said. With the improvement of the status of adventurers, many things are no longer hidden, but officially opened to adventurers.

Shen Yi and the others asked some more questions, such as the specific development of the territory here, and whether they could use their own personnel and bring their own supplies.

These answers are all affirmed. The Supreme Council has no restrictions in this regard, or the Supreme Council has no intention of restricting anyone from the very beginning. All restrictions come from the system and rules.

It is worth noting that, according to the rules of this world, in all simulated worlds that are closer to reality, many things do not mean that they exist, but there is a construction process.

Energy converters can be bought, but they need to be built.

Defense systems can also be purchased, but also require a construction process.

The more advanced the system facility, the longer the construction time, but it can be accelerated by hiring more workers.

The price of workers here is not expensive, five thousand coins a month is enough, which is equivalent to fifty points.

However, in order to complete it in a short period of time, I am afraid that it will not be possible without hiring thousands of workers.

In addition, it costs money to build a defense system, it costs money to build supporting facilities, and it also costs money to recruit soldiers to assist in the defense-the recruitment price of an ordinary soldier per unit of population is 10,000 yuan/month.

Senior soldiers are more expensive, and different soldiers have different classifications. Six major generals can recruit a total of 300,000 soldiers, but when the price is calculated, everyone is shocked and shakes their heads at the same time.

Sorry!

Of course, it can also be bought out. You can directly buy a soldier with 2500 points, which is equivalent to two and a half months of recruitment fees. The problem is that you will lose money if you die.

Or buy it with points, then you can bring it out of this world. The direct purchase price is 500 blood points, and you will follow it forever. This is how Edmund's Thor should have come.

A low-level energy converter costs 50,000 points, a mid-level one costs 100,000 points, and a high-level one costs 200,000 points.

All kinds of defense forts have corresponding prices, which are similar to those in stores, but even if they are bought with points, enough quantity can make people bankrupt. It is impossible for a family as big as the Broken Blade team to start it all at once, unless they do not strengthen it before.

Is this a fucking joke?

If you don't earn a penny after entering this world, you have to spend hundreds of thousands first.

If Shen Yi hadn't listened to Hua Tianrui's reminder and kept 800,000 in his hand, he would just stare blankly at this meeting.

Well, I won't stare.

For adventurers who don't bring money in, the alliance also has a way, which is to rent.

Some adventurers who become marshals and leave the world will leave the territory, and then the alliance will send soldiers to take over. When the new generals lack enough points to build their own bases, they can lease these territories first.

Of course, buying is also possible. Some generals like to buy this kind of old territory, after all, it saves the construction process.

The only question now is how much energy the energy converter can convert in a day, but even Louise can't figure this out. After all, as she said, it requires the cooperation of various conditions.

She thought for a while before saying: "If it is an advanced energy converter, in an area where the energy is relatively concentrated, and there are no other energy converters competing for energy within the radiation range, and a hundred workers are responsible for normal operation, then probably You can have one standard unit of energy beads a day."

"What is the radiation range of the energy converter?"

"Intermediate 4,000 square kilometers, advanced 10,000 square kilometers."

"..."

"Do you have any questions?"

"Not for now."

"Then, please choose your territory."
