Chapter 226 Return, the Secret of Promise Fortress

The slight dizziness subsided, and everyone opened their eyes and looked around curiously.

"I've really regained my youth!"

"It should be more than just younger, the pressure and hidden injuries accumulated before have disappeared."

"It really makes me feel a lot more relaxed now."

"Is this the Promise Fortress? How magical!"

"Yes, this is the Promise Fortress, welcome everyone."

"Huh?" XN

Flitt and others were attracted by the strange voice and looked at the source of the voice. Four people they had never seen before were standing aside to greet them, led by an intellectual beauty with brown hair. There was a snow-white shadow floating around the five people.

Seeing Huang and Wang Liumei, Yang Hui said nothing, walked over quickly and hugged them.

"Welcome back." Huang and Wang Liumei said softly.

"Well, I'm back."

Graham also walked up to Setsuna, Lyle and Tieria and hugged them gently. Although the relationship between them was not so close, seeing them again after decades, Graham's nostalgia was still aroused.

Fleet and the others also understood at this time that they were Yang Hui and Graham's companions, and they would also be my companions in the future.

"Let me introduce you, this is Huang, Huang Li Noriega, this is Wang Liumei..."

"This is Fleet, Yulin, Yasem..."

Yang Hui made a brief introduction to each other, and nodded to each other to get to know each other, but at this time, Huang and Wang Liumei came to Yulin, took her hand and said softly: "Thank you for taking care of Yang Hui."

Yang Hui: (°ー°〃)

Everyone: (ω) Watch the show invisibly!

Yulin was stunned for a moment. She hadn't said anything yet, so why did he know her relationship with Yang Hui?

But soon, she figured it out. Women know women best. The look of love for someone can't be hidden, not to mention that they love the same person.

"This is what I should do."

"This... Huang? Studying in the United States?"

"Yang Hui, Fleet and the others are new here, you take them to visit the fortress, we want to chat with Youlin."

"..."Originally Yang Hui wanted to say something, but when he sensed two murderous auras, he shuddered and nodded quickly: "Okay!"

Then Yang Hui led the others on the scene to leave the central hall.

"Hehe~"

Seeing Yang Hui like this, the three women who stayed behind covered their mouths and laughed softly. Yang Hui in this state is rare, and also very interesting.

"Now that everyone who is in the way has left, Youlin, can you tell us how you and Yang Hui met?" Huang asked.

"Well, okay."

...

On the other side, although everyone regretted that they could not watch the show, when they thought that Yang Hui would vent all his grievances on them, they still followed Yang Hui obediently and left, just in time to visit the Promise Fortress in advance, which is their future home.

While Yang Hui was showing them around, he introduced the basic situation of Promise Fortress. The current Promise Fortress was still very small, so it didn't take long for everyone to visit the existing area and then return to the central hall.

"Are you back?"

"Well, the fortress is still very simple now, so it won't take much time. I'll start the two-way channel first, Mephis." As he spoke, Yang Hui came to the periphery of the central hall, where there was a metal door embedded in the wall.

[Commander. ]

"Start it."

[Yes, Commander, starting the cross-gate... connecting to the Gundam AGE world coordinates... completed. ]

Under everyone's surprised eyes, a small blue light spot lit up in the center of the metal door, which gradually expanded and turned into a small vortex, eventually filling the entire door opening. The vortex with black inside and blue outside kept rotating at a slow speed.

[Gundam AGE world has been connected, unlocking the world connection function, unlocking the cross-gate access, unlocking permanent and temporary permissions, Commander, congratulations on successfully connecting to the first world. 】

"There will be more and more in the future, and Promise Fortress will also restore its former glory. Mephis, what are permanent and temporary permissions?"

[The right to stay in Promise Fortress is divided into permanent permissions and temporary permissions. With permanent permissions, you can stay in Promise Fortress permanently. Temporary permissions only allow the owner to stay in Promise Fortress for a maximum of one week. At the end of the period, you will be forcibly repatriated to the original world. Without temporary permissions, you cannot stay in Promise Fortress. 】Mephis's voice was still flat, without any ups and downs.

Everyone heard what Mephis meant, and also knew what it meant that Fleet and others had an extra countdown on their panels compared to Yang Hui, Huang and others.

"How to get temporary permissions and permanent permissions?"

[Temporary permissions are granted by the fortress's senior management, with a time limit of one week, and senior members can freely set the time; permanent permissions can be obtained in four ways:

1. Perform a monthly mandatory task once.

2. Sign a permanent employment contract with the fortress and work for the fortress in this life.

3. The mission world is not connected to Promise Fortress, and use the number of followers to bind back to the fortress.

4. Unlocked. 】

“…” Yang Hui was embarrassed, his face was almost tangled together, “Wait, what does this unlocked mean?”

[The commander’s authority is insufficient, please upgrade the central hall and unlock more authority. 】

“…So, for now, there are only the first three methods?”

[Yes. 】

"Then what does a permanent employment contract mean?"

Mavis did not answer Yang Hui, but directly called up a contract and placed it in front of Yang Hui.

Everyone looked at it and immediately understood what it meant.

This contract is set up for members who do not perform tasks. Promis Fortress is not just a military fortress in the void, but a void city that can be infinitely expanded. In addition to military buildings, it also includes residential and trading areas. , entertainment area and other areas, even there is a huge circular desk-like thing in the middle of the central hall, indicating that these areas and jobs need someone to work.

Non-combatants who sign this contract will be assigned to these positions to serve combatants.

Of course, it will not be free. As more and more areas are built, Promis Fortress becomes more and more prosperous, and the population increases, there will be currency in circulation. This is how the reward points that will appear in the future will exist. , according to different positions, a certain amount of reward points will be used for life in the fortress.

But... this alone is not enough to qualify for permanent authority. The biggest limitation of this contract is binding.

The person who signs the contract is completely bound to the Promis Fortress, and both will be prosperous and devastated. This... is the biggest constraint.

The easiest way to understand it is that the more prosperous the Promes Fortress is, the better their wages and benefits will be. Once the Promes Fortress is destroyed, they will disappear.

Why is it so harsh? Mavis also answered this.

[According to the central database, traitors have appeared within Promis Fortress, causing major crises. In order to limit the emergence of traitors and to strengthen the sense of belonging of the fortress members to the fortress, the former commander increased the restrictions. 】

"I see."

At first, everyone was a little bit unable to accept this mandatory approach, but after listening to Mavis' explanation, they agreed.

The existence of Promis Fortress is too important. Its existence represents the balance of countless universes. They cannot imagine what will happen if countless universes lose their balance. In order to protect its safety, no amount of rules and restrictions are enough. strange.

"Now it seems that upgrading the central hall and increasing authority are the top priority goals." Yang Hui said.

Everyone was about to agree upon hearing this, but Mavis raised objections.

[It is not recommended that commanders upgrade the central hall too quickly. 】

"Why?" Yang Hui was stunned for a moment and asked.

[The level in the central hall represents the difficulty of the mandatory task. The higher the level, the more difficult the task. It is recommended that the commander proceed step by step and act according to his ability. 】

"Is there such a rule? Why didn't you tell me before?" Yang Hui asked.

This rule is a top priority. If they don’t know it, they would frantically upgrade the level of the central hall in order to increase their authority, and enter the difficult mission world under the current conditions without knowing it. That would be asking for their own death, and they would even You may not know how you died.

[According to Article 99 of Promis Fortress Intelligent AI Operation Rules, when it is determined that the current commander’s choice will threaten Promis Fortress, it will be stopped in time, and reminders and corrections will be made based on the records of the previous commander to protect the existence of Promis Fortress. . 】

"..."

Hearing this, Yang Hui looked at the emperor with a strange expression.

Upon receiving Yang Hui's gaze, Huang shrugged. She didn't expect that her previous decision had caused them to miss such important information, but... it wasn't too late, and it also showed that her suggestions were all right.

"Okay, what else do I need to know?" With experience, Yang Hui, who was worried, confirmed to Mephis to avoid missing important information again.

[With the commander’s current authority, no. 】

"…Then thank you very much."

[My responsibility is to guide the commander to rebuild Promis Fortress...]

"..."

Listening to Mavis's serious response to him, Yang Hui slapped him in the face. What was he trying to do with the intelligent AI that had no feelings?

[Commander, any other instructions? 】

"No...wait!" He originally planned to end the question and answer time, but Yang Hui suddenly thought of something very important and wanted to ask clearly, "Mephis, what is the rule of task release? Tasks and rewards, and the task world What is the relationship between them?”

No one else understood why Yang Hui asked this question, except for one person, Graham. When they received the third phase of the mission, they all discovered the problem from a series of missions.

All missions revolve around the Diva, and according to Yang Hui's memory, the story of the Gundam AGE world for a hundred years also revolves around the Diva.

In this case, does the Diva have a very important significance to the Gundam AGE world? And is the reward they get for completing the mission something from the Gundam AGE world?

[Insufficient permissions to answer. 】

"……okay, I get it."

No answer was given, but Yang Hui was not discouraged, because no answer was the answer.

And what they have to do remains unchanged, which is to rebuild the Promes Fortress, strengthen themselves, resist powerful enemies, and slowly uncover the secrets of the Promes Fortress.
