It has been a full year since humans on earth came to this strange world.
For Soma, his time is longer.
Counting the time spent in several ruins, the time since leaving the earth has exceeded three years.
If you just live day after day, copying today to tomorrow, and copying tomorrow to the day after tomorrow, repeating the same thing every day, there will be no cognitive progress.
So three years may not change a person.
But in the past three years, since the first day I traveled to the wasteland, I have never stopped moving forward.
A period of more than a thousand days is enough to bring about a complete qualitative change in a person.
As the lord of a territory with tens of thousands of people, he has experienced one thrilling adventure after another, and dealt with the quarrels of the survivors one after another. Sumo is no longer the young man who was sad in spring and autumn.
It's not that he doesn't trust other people now and has become hard-hearted.
But most of the time, his stance on things is indeed no longer on the same line as most people.
Take the "hibernation" plan that lasted for several months a few days ago as an example.
There is no doubt that players on the scavenger route have suffered major nerfs, so much so that the level has been stuck at the same level for two full months.
Players on the Chef Apprentice Route and the Mechanic Route are laughing their heads off. The average level gap between the two sides has been reduced to about three levels.
If he had just traveled to the wasteland without much experience, Sumo would definitely not be able to make such a decision.
Because this will directly represent that as a lord, he has to bear the pressure from all the scavengers.
To put it more simply, he is responsible for the progress of these people and the balance of the territory.
After all, if players of a certain route are suppressed for a long time, the only result will be an increasing internal imbalance.
Now, making the decision to go into hibernation, Somo barely had much time to think about it.
He knows exactly what he wants to achieve and what he can ultimately achieve.
Even if this process requires the sacrifice of some people, it is completely worth it in his opinion.
Of course, this does not mean that Soma has now become a hard-hearted person in power who only does things based on profit.
But he considered it more comprehensively.
For example, now that the hibernation has passed, the appearance of the pumpkin bunker has opened a "treasure" for scavengers.
Their fallen levels will rise quickly on this route, catching up with their disadvantages at a speed that players on other routes cannot understand.
Now treat this group of players who escaped from the academy's experimental base.
In the short term, Sumo can already imagine that the academy's base will launch an attack on the territory and will be under unimaginable pressure.
But in the long run, this happens to be one of the driving forces for development.
At this time, the trunk of the troop carrier escorting the prisoners opened, and under the urging of the soldiers, everyone began to step out.
Almost at the same time, Sumo also walked to the troop carrier.
"Thank you to the God of Luck, thank you for taking me in. Thank you for your warriors who helped us resist the pursuit of the academy. We will always be loyal to you and become a brick and tile under your rule." It is so exaggerated that it makes people scratch their toes.
The voice of the ground shouted, but Lao Wang's eyes were secretly looking at this man who had only been seen in the game live broadcast.
It was exactly the same as what I saw in the live broadcast room half a year ago, or it was like the memory suddenly came to reality.
The human Su Shen's body is still tall and straight, with a pair of eyes as dark as meteorites.
And what's surprising is that even if you use the danger perception ability that comes with the fighting route to test it.
Lao Wang could only feel the mighty power in the man in front of him, like a lake of water.
This is fundamentally different from what everyone in the world chatted about.
Those who speculate that Su Shen has died, or that Su Shen has disappeared from everyone.
They will never know.
The current level of Su Shen's route may have already passed level ten, or even reached the next level.
"It seems that you are quite good at talking. I mean just like the natives of Blue Star."
"Okay, I'll give you a minute to convince me to take you in."
People can still remain normal when facing similar people with similar status or similar strength.
Once faced with things that are too far beyond your own level, you will start to subconsciously imitate the scenes you have seen or heard before.
Sumo had already experienced Lao Wang's enthusiasm many times and had no psychological fluctuations at this time.
Instead, he was more interested in what he could dig out of these people.
Realizing that his behavior was too frivolous, Lao Wang immediately stopped his peeking eyes.
After all, he was the one who could lead people to escape from the academy base. Naturally, his mind was not very smart, and he quickly adjusted his mentality.
"Wang Dazhi, a native of Xishan, China, was once a member of the Purple Shirt Territory, and his route is: fighting enthusiast."
"My route level is the highest, level thirteen, and the others are at the lowest level, ten. They are all evolvers who have gone through the first qualitative change."
"There are a large number of precious machines in the branch base of the college, mainly for biology. It is a comprehensive biological laboratory. There are also large-scale production lines that can supply the survival material needs of at least 50,000 people. In addition, there are
It’s not a military base, so the defense isn’t as strong as expected. At least it’s not as scary as what other players in the chat channel described about the academy, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to escape so easily.”
"If you are willing to trust us and want to send troops to raid there when the metal aging disaster strikes, we will be the most determined first in your hands!"
Climb first?
In ancient wars, the first batch of warriors who rushed to the front and successfully opened up the situation were called first ascenders.
Sumo was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that it only took such a short time for Wang Dazhi to guess what he wanted to do.
As expected of a player who can upgrade his route to level 13, he really has something.
However.
"Unfortunately, if it's just these, I'm afraid it won't convince me to offend the academy and take you in."
Lao Wang was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that Su Mo would refuse, and his calm mind suddenly panicked.
The other people staying nearby were even more nervous, and one person immediately said:
"No matter how strong the academy is, is it still as strong as you, or as strong as those alien gods?"
"Shut up.."
Lao Wang hurriedly interrupted, but he didn't expect that the man's face was even more dissatisfied.
"You are our hope. How could our human God Su be afraid of the Blue Star Academy?"
"And if those people on the World Channel know that you are afraid of the academy, then how can we Earthlings go home?"
It's over.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and even the soldiers' breathing became much lighter.
Although he saw that Somo was not angry because of this, and even the expression on his face did not change, Lao Wang still involuntarily took a step back and quickly drew a subtle boundary with the man.
You can't expect everyone to be smart, and you can't expect to save everyone.
This is the consensus of all survivors until now in the wasteland.
I always have a Virgin mentality and think I can keep everyone alive, but the result is often the opposite.
Whoever deserves to die, let him die.
For those who don’t want to live, it’s useless to say anything.
"You seem to think that me saving you and saving you is the right thing to do?" Sumo interrupted him and said calmly.
"Of course. Of course not." A look of fear appeared on the man's face, and he said bravely: "We can pay any price, as long as we don't go back there, we are willing to do anything."
"Very good, take him to the labor camp. This is the first time I've heard of someone willing to join."
Sumo smiled lightly, but did not continue to embarrass this person.
Just to survive, this is human nature.
If you make things difficult for the other party just because of such a trivial matter, you may even kill them.
That would be too unstructured.
The soldiers behind him stepped forward and quickly pulled the person who had just spoken away.
But what is surprising is that before leaving, this man was not angry at all, but instead looked at the others with excitement on his face.
Obviously, his greatest wish is to survive, even if it means becoming a hard worker.
"Is there anyone else who wants to be a hard worker? I'll give you a chance to choose."
There was a commotion in the crowd.
In the end, a few more people raised their hands sparsely, and together with the previous person, a total of eight people followed the soldiers and left with fear on their faces.
"I really didn't expect that you would use this method to screen. They are so lucky to survive."
Lao Wang squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying.
It's a pity that these fools put all their points in physical and bone strength, but not in brain power at all.
Even if they become hard laborers, why don’t they be taken in and sheltered?
Thinking about it this way, the method of raising Gu in the academy's research base is not a big problem. The Gu kings trained are just ordinary players with puffy levels. If you really want to try to figure out what they can do, it's better not to think about it.
After a pause, Lao Wang continued.
"In addition, we can also bring you a lot of useful information, including tips on improving route levels."
"And. The secret to success when evolving for the first time."
"I promise, what I know is definitely something that 99% of players have not yet come into contact with."
First evolution?
Finally hearing something more interesting, Sumo's calm face inevitably showed a hint of surprise.
Risks often come with gains.
It seemed that the pursuit by the academy caused these people to run around Qinggang City, and happened to arrive at Tianyuan Territory.
But in fact, if we think about it, if the territory had not developed at a rapid pace during this period, it would have reached the point where we would not be afraid of ordinary enemies.
Even if you encounter this kind of opportunity, I'm afraid you won't be qualified to enjoy it.
"It seems you are a smart man."
"Okay, let's go down and rest first. I need some time to deal with the mess you left."
There was no rush to listen to the secrets from Wang Dazhi's mouth.
After calling the guards to take these people down to rest, Sumo turned around and opened the game panel to start the operation.
Well, it’s the same configuration as last time for the Harvest Tribe.
Although these people have not yet joined the territory, as long as the game determines that the player has been discovered and is within the territory.
As a lord, you can intervene.
Sumo opened the list of foreign visitors with a familiarity, and without thinking, disabled the chat channel speaking function of everyone on the list.
In this state, even in the world chat channel, you can only enter and watch, but cannot speak.
Of course, there is a price for using this feature.
The game also takes into account that hostile players will send messages through channels to cause damage after sneaking into the territory.
Therefore, a price of 1,500 disaster points was set for lords to purchase and use.
Since I activated this thing last time, the points for renewing territory chat next month are no longer enough.
Even if no one from the academy comes to visit, Sumo plans to earn some points from this aging disaster.
In addition, blocking their chat permissions is not enough.
According to preliminary understanding, these people's route levels are very high, and their attribute points have also changed slightly after the tenth level of evolution.
In order to prevent them from being accidentally injured, Sumo simply arranged for two teams of guards to stay at the scene to assist in the defense.
When will I be able to earn enough 50,000 points in the future and activate the 'route disabling' function?
It will be much easier to conquer people with strong route abilities.
"Please tell everyone to disperse in an orderly manner. It seems that we will not encounter a major crisis tonight."
"In addition, the number of personnel on duty tonight will be increased five times to try to ensure that our border will not be invaded by enemies."
Su Mo tilted his head and gave some instructions to Li Hu and Feng Tianmin.
Nearly a thousand people were waiting on the security wall, and there were thousands of residents in the village ready to go.
In addition, many people followed the emergency plan and hid in shelters built during the heavy fog in the territory.
Now that the crisis is over and it's getting late, it's time to let everyone know the good news.
Soon, the convoy began to leave in an orderly manner, and some guards who did not have their turn also followed back towards the village.
Brother Kuangren was stunned for a moment as he looked at the array of weapons he had lined up. In the end, he could only accept this reality with a sad look on his face.
Fortunately, there were many "good-hearted people" who helped him load the weapons into the car while watching the joke.
Otherwise, if he only hired a few people to move so many people, he would probably have to move them tomorrow morning.
The gap under the city wall.
As soon as Sumo came in, he saw Lu Kuan waiting there, so he put away other thoughts and strode over.
"What's wrong? There was a major discovery at the explosion site?"
Lu Kuan didn't go around in circles and simply took out the energy stone fragment.
"There weren't many things of analytical value left at the explosion site, but I found this in the center of the explosion, a substance that has the same origin as the energy stone, but has completely different properties and structure!"
Homogenous but not homogeneous?
What's going on?
Sumo took it in surprise and looked at it against the light on the city wall.
The graceful patterns spread out like snowflakes, refracting the light falling into many different colors.
The semi-opaque brown color makes the light source less dazzling like sunglasses.
If the previous Noh Stone felt like a rough stone, it will become slightly rounder after being filled with energy.
So the material now is like a small piece of jade, it feels very warm and moist, but has a suitable damping feeling that makes people feel at ease.
"Can you see what this is?"
Lu Kuan cast his eyes over tightly, his face full of expectation.
Oops.
Do you really think I'm a fiery person?
Su Mo complained in his heart, but his hand movements were not slow at all, and he directly opened the system for identification.
The upgraded survival system has also made great progress in identification, and the entire process no longer requires concentration.
Just recite silently in your mind, and the green light will automatically emit identification.
One second.
Two seconds.
Just when the third second came, the green light quickly retracted.
An attribute panel naturally appeared in front of you, bringing a detailed analysis of the fragments!
