Chapter 71
Now that the mission was over, Shen Yi and the others played hard in New York for a day, and they didn't return until the end of the 24-hour free world given by the city. 11)
As soon as they entered the evaluation space, they saw Lan Yan standing there, which surprised everyone.
Shen Yi even said directly: "Why did you appear?"
"What? Don't you want to see me?" Lan Yan asked back.
"No, it's just that this time I don't remember what trouble I caused." Shen Yi spread his hands.
Every time a manager appears, it is bound to be accompanied by some special circumstances in the task world. But this time, Shen Yi can be said to be very law-abiding. Even if he talked to the girl in white, he never did anything that would harm the mission world. There is really no reason for Lan Yan to come out and confront him face to face.
Lan Yan laughed: "It's not only when there is trouble that the manager will appear. In the past, we didn't openly appear in front of adventurers, because we didn't want them to know our existence. But for adventurers who already know our existence For those who are familiar with us, especially for adventurers like you who are quite familiar with us, it doesn’t make any sense to keep secrets, so it’s normal to come out to chat occasionally when you’re free.”
Shen Yi and the others looked at each other.
The dignified space manager actually said that he wanted to chat with them, which made them quite a bit surprised and a little flattered by ordinary citizens when they heard that the mayor wanted to visit him to express his condolences.
Shen Yi said to himself: "Chat... it sounds a bit unbelievable, you don't look like such a boring person."
"Why is it boring to chat with you?" Lan Yan smiled.
Shen Yi replied: "Even my friends don't really like to chat with me."
Hong Lang replied, "That's because I suffered too much."
"Shut up!" King Kong slapped Hong Lang, this guy's mouth was as mean and open as ever.
On the contrary, Lan Yan nodded: "That's true, even communicating with someone like you is a risk."
Shen Yi shrugged: "Then you are not afraid of being tricked by me again today?"
Lan Yan smiled: "Because you don't need to set me up, just ask directly, and I will answer everything I can."
Shen Yi was slightly taken aback.
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, "How did you become so talkative?"
Lan Yan smiled wryly: "Because you don't say anything, you already know it, but it may not be the answer we want you to know..."
He didn't say any more, but Shen Yi already understood.
Obviously the city already knew about his contact with the girl in white this time.
They found that proper maintenance of mystery is a necessary means of controlling adventurers. But for an adventurer like Shen Yi who already knows many secrets, it is meaningless, and it will make things worse.
This is like a high-ranking general who originally disdained to pay attention to a soldier under him, even if he was brave and brave. The problem is that my enemy always runs over to meet his soldiers with nothing to do, and pretends to be a corporal, saying to his soldiers: "Come to me, I am treated better than your generals, you General, what's the matter..."
Even if this general is powerful and arrogant, he can't stand the enemy's repeated poaching.
So one day when he found that his deadly enemy ran over again and told one of his brave soldiers some shameful things about his general, the general had to stand up and explain to his soldiers: "I will tell you Tell me, things are not like this..."
This is the reason why Lan Yan appeared here - it is much better to take the initiative to explain something to Shen Yi than to make the other party listen to the one-sided words of the girl in white.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi asked: "Which part of her statement do you want to correct?"
Lan Yan smiled wryly: "I didn't come to lie to you, Shen Yi, if you preconceived and thought that what she told you was true and what I said was false, then I have nothing to say."
Shen Yi shrugged: "I have to hear it before I can decide who to believe."
Lan Yan pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Then let's start with the creator of the city. In fact, you already know that this city was not created by humans..."
Everyone's spirits were lifted at the same time.
Lan Yan leisurely said: "That's right, this is a city built by an extraterrestrial civilization. This civilization has a much longer history than human beings and is more developed. They had the ability to travel between stars ten thousand years ago. At that time , the earth is still just a barren land. This civilization calls itself Queres, not the so-called Xel'Naga..."
Lan Yan glanced at Shen Yi intentionally or unintentionally: "The Queres people have a life form that is more advanced than human beings. They are a kind of spiritual life. They are weak in body but strong in spirit. This life form makes them rich in wisdom and supercomputing ability, make their technological development far beyond human imagination. But for the same reason, the weakness of the ontology also makes their lifespan short. In order to extend the individual life, but also to make the race stronger, the Queres Started unremitting research on life science. However, the composition of life is even more complex than the composition of the universe, with more diverse forms. Even for the Queresians who already have the ability to travel between stars, if they want to create the perfect It is not an easy task to create life forms. For this reason, they began to wander in the universe, trying to find an answer that could solve this problem."
Shen Yi interface: "Create a perfect life? No wonder the girl told me that I can call them Sarnaga."
"That's right." Lan Yan nodded: "What the Queres are trying to do is the same as what the Naganagas in the background story of StarCraft did, the difference is that the Naganagas simply want to create a perfect Life, while the Queres have a more direct purpose, which is to try to make their own life form more perfect."
Shen Yi finally understood why the girl in white said "you can call the creator of the city Sarnaga" - trying to create a perfect life, which is exactly what the girl in white wanted to tell him.
Maybe it's more than that, Shen Yi asked: "Then what about those Zergs?"
Lan Yan smiled wryly: "As you know, they were created by the Queres people."
"What a coincidence." Hong Lang muttered.
"It's not all a coincidence." Lan Yan replied: "Zergs are the testers in this world before humans."
Everyone was stunned, and Wen Rou blurted out: "You mean those Zergs were once urban adventurers?"
Lan Yan nodded: "To be precise, they used to be the closest to perfect life in the eyes of the Queres people. They are powerful, brave, united, strong in regenerative ability, but low in intelligence."
"Simple mind is perfect?" King Kong asked incredulously.
Lan Yan replied: "For powerful spiritual beings, this is exactly what they need most."
Everyone suddenly realized that the reason why the Queres people created life forms like the Zerg might be to transfer their spiritual will to the Zerg, thus forming a dual combination of wisdom and intelligence.
It's like the looting in a novel.
Wen Wen couldn't help but said: "It's hard to imagine that the most intelligent life in the universe would actually look at such a disgusting body of Zerg."
"Disgusting is only for human beings." Lan Yan retorted: "Sharp mouthparts, powerful, physical conditions that can survive [immortality] in any harsh environment, abandon human aesthetics, replace beauty with function, you You'll find the beauty of the Zerg unparalleled...at least for the Queres."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "I guess in their eyes, we must look extremely ugly."
"Maybe." Lan Yan also laughed: "After the Queres people launched a long space exploration, one day they finally let them find a strange place. This is a magical cosmic space, it has The ability to accept spiritual ideas and transform them into real existence. The Queres people think this is their greatest discovery ever, their racial adventure, and this space is the world we are in now, the bloody city .They call it the...origin."
Origin, as the name implies, the Queres people believe that this space is the starting point of the universe. The universe was born here, and it expands eternally and infinitely towards the surroundings.
As a life conceived in the universe, returning to the origin of the universe is like returning to the womb and re-breeding its own life form.
This, is what the Queres are trying to do.
They succeeded.
They failed.
They created the Zerg, a powerful life form, but lost the ability to control them.
Lan Yan didn't say how all this happened. There are still many secrets about the city that have not been revealed to them, but Shen Yi knows that sooner or later, about the city, about the girl in white, all these secrets will be revealed to them. He is open.
Since the girl in white confided the name Sarnaga to Shen Yi, in order to avoid unnecessary speculation by adventurers, Lan Yan stood up and explained to Shen Yi and the others about the Queres people, which also proved from a certain aspect For one thing, the Supreme Council was nervous about their contact with the girl in white.
Sure enough, Lan Yan said at this moment: "I hope you understand that the reason why I told you this is also an expression of the sincerity of the Supreme Council. We don't want you to continue to cooperate with that girl. It is best not to even see her again."
"Does this count as asking us to stand in line?" Shen Yi asked: "A choice between you and her?"
"That's right."
"That's a pity, so far, the city hasn't come up with any reason for me to stand by your side. It's a bone to let a dog do things, let alone force people to stand in line?"
"Every adventure you take pays off."
Shen Yi replied brazenly: "It's just salary, I mean extra income."
Lan Yan laughed angrily at him: "That girl didn't even pay you wages."
Shen Yi quickly replied: "The problem is that she didn't force us to fight! If killing the enemy and getting rewards is a salary system, then no one would be grateful to the boss for getting the salary they should get. Only The help beyond our duty is worthy of our gratitude, isn't it?"
Lan Yan was completely speechless.
Although Shen Yi's words are harsh, you have to admit that he has a point. At this moment, Lan Yan thought for a long time before finally saying:
"What extra help do you want?"
Shen Yi smiled and replied: "That depends on you, I'm not that picky about special help outside of my duty."
Wei Wei thought about it, and Lan Yan said: "If I remember correctly, you are a melee gunner. Your melee is mainly based on normal attacks, so you have always been eager to acquire the fatal blow skill, right?"
Shen Yi's complexion changed slightly.
The fatal blow is the unique ability of the Juggernaut in Warcraft, which can double the damage power of the normal attack.
Such skills also exist in cities, but they all have their own flaws. Either only power damage doubles, no weapon damage doubles, or it's power reduction mode. For example, the violent claws and powerful impact are the same. On the surface, it seems that the doubling is larger, but because of the different damage conversion mode, the real damage is limited, and the growth rate is also limited.
Only the fatal blow obtained in the World of Warcraft is a truly flawless double attack, so it is recognized by the city as a skill that is not an S-level skill but is more powerful than an S-level skill—just like the A-level threat. Zhentian is also more powerful than the standard robot of double S rank. Of course, the difficulty of obtaining it is also extremely high, not even lower than subduing Megatron.
Shen Yi has always wanted to enter the world of Warcraft to obtain this skill, but one reason is that the level of difficulty is not enough, and the other reason is that he lacks confidence in obtaining this skill.
Unexpectedly, Lan Yan said it at this moment.
Before that, he only told Ali, the waiter in that store, that he was interested in entering the World of Warcraft.
At this moment, Lan Yan has already said: "I am the space manager, and I have a certain authority to issue tasks, and I can decide the content of the tasks in the recent period. Twenty-five days later, the task of Warcraft will be released. If you are interested, you can Go in and try."
"If that's all there is to it, it's useless."
"What else do you want?"
"Mission modes, content, combat methods, and how do I get what I want?"
"I'm not that girl and can't reveal much to you!"
"Then say what you can say."
Lan Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "The four-area hegemony mode, the war type, the optional mission is the garrison form."
"anything else?"
"If you want to get a fatal blow, there are only two ways. One is to join other camps, kill the Juggernaut, there is a certain chance to get a skill scroll, the probability is about 10%. His inheritance. The probability of success is 100%, but it is very difficult."
"How to join the orc camp?"
"Each of the four districts has a corresponding camp. If you want to join the orc camp, you must go to the southern district."
"I don't want to go to the South District, can I switch to the East District?"
"……no problem."
"Then please."
Lan Yan took a deep breath: "Do you know what you are asking me to do? Help you cheat!"
Shen Yi chuckled: "It's not considered cheating, at best, I revealed some of the exam questions early, and there is no place to find standard answers for the exam questions. The impact is not much, is it?"
Lan Yan glared at Shen Yi fiercely, after thinking for a while, he finally nodded: "I can promise you, but you have to do one thing for us."
"what?"
"Help us kill someone."
"who?"
"Remember Ivy?"
