Chapter 532 The Nightmare Face and the Journey to the Black Hole
After seeing off the overly enthusiastic Mr. Clown, Lando turned his attention to the office building.
After showing the guard the ID of [World of Machine Combat] on his personal terminal and the winning information of the 'Xinghen Playground Entertainment Competition', a beautiful woman dressed as a professional secretary soon came to Lando and said respectfully: "Dear
Your Excellency 'Yu-Gi-Oh!', our manager has been waiting for you for a long time, please come with me!"
After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation.
Lando nodded slightly, indicating to lead the way.
Under the leadership of his secretary, Lando entered the building and made his way to the top of the building without any hindrance.
The secretary knocked on the door of a certain office, and then said respectfully: "Manager, Your Excellency 'Yu-Gi-Oh!' is here!"
"Come in!" A slightly gentle voice sounded.
After entering, Lando immediately noticed that the design in the office was extremely simple and clear, which seemed a bit out of place with the exaggerated and high-profile style of the Xinghen Playground seen outside.
The manager had already walked out from behind the desk and came towards Lando with a smile on his face.
Lando took a closer look and saw that this was a handsome and capable middle-aged man.
The moment he saw him, Lando's heart shrank slightly, and there was some warning...
not human!
This guy...isn't human!
In the Human Alliance, there are many aliens who use various means to make themselves look like humans.
But this was the first time he had seen something that could give Lando such a heavy sense of oppression.
In telepathy, the strength of this aura is no less than that of his teacher Ruan Honglian!
"Welcome, Mr. Yu-Gi-Oh!, I am the management manager of Entertainment Star No. 1, Edison Vega." Edison introduced himself enthusiastically.
The winner of the title of 'Yu-Gi-Oh!' has an extraordinary status in the Star Trace Amusement Park, and Edison will naturally not neglect Lando.
Lando nodded slightly and said: "Mr. Edison, nice to meet you, please call me Lando."
"Okay, Mr. Lando." Edison said calmly: "Mr. Lando is here for the prize of the first place in the entertainment competition and the one-day trip to the black hole, right?"
Lando nodded, confirming.
Lando, the leader of Edison, sat on the sofa in the office.
The secretary had already understood the situation and poured two cups of tea in advance and placed them in front of the two of them, and then left as quietly as a civet cat.
Edison made a please gesture, and then said: "Mr. Lando won the first place in the entertainment competition, and the rare item he won was the 'Nightmare Face'. I have notified the people below to send it over as soon as possible.
Just wait a moment.”
"As for the other reward, a one-day trip to the black hole, there will be one in three days. If you are willing, I can arrange it for you right away!"
For Lando, the sooner the better, so he readily accepted the proposal.
As for whether his sudden queue cutting will affect other tourists?
These are issues that Xinghen Playground needs to worry about, and Lando naturally won't worry too much.
During the chat, Lando discovered that Edison was a very well-informed person, and he was particularly interested in what he said about his experiences outside the galaxy.
Edison smiled and said: "With all due respect, Mr. Lando, although the Milky Way is the birthplace of the Human Alliance, due to various reasons, the overall scientific and technological education level here has lagged behind other galaxy clusters by one or two generations."
"If you have the chance, it's best to leave the Milky Way and go out to see something. The Milky Way is in the heart of the Alliance. It has been peaceful and peaceful for too long. It is far less... exciting than the outside world!"
Lando looked out the window, his tone became leisurely, and said: "Yes, I will naturally go out and take a look!"
"Boom!~Boom!~Boom!~"
"Manager, I have delivered what you asked for."
First there was a gentle knock on the door, and then a thick voice sounded.
"Come in!" Edison said softly.
A strong man in a suit pushed open the door, placed the metal box he was carrying on the table, and then stepped back.
With the help of the open door, Lando saw several strong men in the same clothes waiting outside.
Edison pressed the code, opened the metal box first, and then pushed it in front of Lando.
Lando looked down and saw a simple, thick bronze mask with a sense of vicissitudes of life placed inside.
This bronze mask is the kind that can completely cover the entire face. The eyes seem to be covered by some kind of deep black substance, and there are no other decorative patterns or colors.
The whole thing has a rough and rough feeling, far from the exquisiteness of modern craftsmanship!
Lando looked at Edison, who made a please gesture.
Holding the green mask in your hands, the material feels like metal, but the weight is unexpectedly light!
There is no string for wearing, so people don't know how to wear the mask.
While Lando was playing with the bronze mask, Edison explained: "This 'Nightmare Face' is a special rare object. It is said that it was first discovered on a backward life star, and the natives there called it their god's
One of the faces, and their god is called... 'Aya'!"
"It can give the wearer the ability to create dreams, but after research and experiments, the dreams created by the 'Nightmare Face' will eventually transform into nightmares, and finally turn into horrific nightmares!"
"However, that's all you can do at most, unless you are willing to put in the effort to use the nightmare ability on the same target for a month. In that case, the target will become... neurasthenic!"
Lando was a little speechless. Although he had long understood that the things that could be taken out as rewards would not be good things. They must have been thoroughly studied and determined to be useless, but it was still a bit unused to this extent.
It was beyond his expectation.
That’s all, it’s a rare item after all. The collection value of this kind of thing is not low in itself, let alone a bicycle.
Seeing the disappointment on Lando's face, as if he had suddenly lost interest, Edison quickly added: "In the indigenous legend, the 'Nightmare Face' is not only the god 'Aya' they worship.
On the one hand, it is an artifact that summons gods to descend, possessing boundless power."
"Oh, so what?" Lando asked expressionlessly.
"Uh!" Edison smiled slightly awkwardly and was speechless.
In fact, they have already done many tests on the prizes they gave out.
The so-called 'Nightmare Face', in their research, was simply contaminated with the power of a certain dimension for some reason, coupled with its special material, resulting in a slight mutation and the birth of some nightmare-related superpowers.
That's all!
Lando casually threw it into his dimensional pocket and chatted with Edison for a while.
Finally, under the guidance of an amusement park staff member called by the latter, Lando went to the VIP rest area.
After all, it is an amusement park, and there are all kinds of consumer items everywhere, and they are more expensive than outside.
But what surprises Lando is that as the winner of the title of ‘Yu-Gi-Oh!’, he has considerable privileges in the Star Trace Amusement Park!
Not only does it have a dedicated luxury residence...
Of course, the luxurious residence here belongs to everyone with the title of ‘Yu-Gi-Oh’, but he is the only one who currently holds this title.
...And all consumption items in the amusement park are 50% off!
By the way, it is worth mentioning that game points can be used as stars in the amusement park, and the exchange ratio is 1:100!
That is, 1 game point is equivalent to 100 stars.
Lando's game points can be used as more than one million stars in the Star Marks Playground!
In the next few days, Lando just played around in the No. 1 entertainment star.
He is actually also very interested in the themed activities of other entertainment stars, such as...the Zerg Defense War!
According to the introduction of Xinghen Playground, the entire entertainment star has been transformed into a Zerg nest. Participating players will randomly form teams and enter to complete the assassination of specific targets, destroy enemy strongholds, guard our buildings, and protect key figures.
A series of tasks such as spying on important information.
There are single-player missions and multi-player cooperative missions, and there may even be confrontation missions between players due to different initial camp choices!
Different camps are also related to the differentiation of initial equipment and the direction of subsequent enhancements. At the same time, they also represent different backgrounds!
Of course, the general background is still the confrontation between humans and Zerg.
Here, you can choose to be a lonely hero, or you can enjoy the joy of "chugging" with your friends!
The entire process will take at least a month.
And it costs a lot!
One person needs one million stars at a time!
Even if Lando has a 50% discount, it still costs half a million, or 5,000 game points, to play once!
This is...a large-scale war-oriented interactive shooting themed game!
What really interested Lando was the appearance of the Zerg seen in the propaganda!
According to Xinghen Playground, this is a specially prepared and absolutely controlled creature... a toy!
Although they look ferocious, they are all the result of modulation. In fact, they are absolutely harmless and do not have even the most basic intelligence. They are no different from NPCs in virtual games!
Well, at least that’s what Xinghen Playground promotes.
These Zerg races seem to have many similarities with the Zerg races that have been basically extinct in the Arcane Universe.
This made Lando a little concerned.
Thinking of the exaggerated evolutionary power and adaptability of the Zerg that can constantly plunder and genetically modify themselves, in a sense, they seem to be not much different from arcanists!
Perhaps, the Zerg are also a powerful civilization born from a higher universe. In this way, they continue to absorb the advantages of various universe civilizations and feed themselves back!
After realizing this, Lando temporarily suppressed his desire to explore and study.
Three days later.
Lando boarded a special spacecraft under the guidance of the staff.
In addition to Lando, there are nine other tourists participating in this black hole tour.
On the way, the staff distributed two bracelets to each person.
You must know that even after the black hole has been specially suppressed by the Xinghen Playground, the residual gravity formed by it is still not something humans can deal with.
This bracelet is a position generator. When turned on, it can offset the excess gravity field emitted by the black hole.
One is for normal use and the other is for spare use!
This position generator costs one million star yuan each, and you don’t even have to negotiate the price!
And it will be destroyed after being used once, because the fatigue caused by its resistance to the gravity of the black hole will cause great safety risks when it is used again, so these are disposable consumables!
The spare one is a safety net and will generally not be activated. Just return it to the staff after playing.
But if it is activated due to a tourist's operating error, then you will have to pay an additional one million star dollars!
The other nine tourists all looked to be young people under fifty years old.
But you can tell by looking at their temperament that they are either rich or noble.
As it got closer and closer to the TK-303b black hole, the spacecraft also showed signs of instability. Fortunately, as the special shield position was opened, the spacecraft immediately returned to its original state.
Black holes, the ultimate form of known natural objects in the universe, possess unfathomable power!
When the spacecraft stopped and the tourists stepped out of the spacecraft and stepped on the layer of transparent material on the surface of the TK-303b black hole, everyone was extremely excited!
Even Lando was a little excited!
Although it possesses the [Black Eye], it is a 'Husky' that has been completely domesticated and transformed after all. How can it be shocking to have a close encounter with this terrifying 'Tyrannosaurus Rex' in front of you!
Lando and the others can stay in this small town-sized area for a day and do whatever they can!
For example, chatting and walking, playing chess and cards, or... having a delicious barbecue!
Maybe this is what the so-called rich people show off!
I remember that in the Ancestral Star era, humans had just been able to break through the constraints of the planet and enter the void of the universe.
There are rich people who are willing to spend hundreds and tens of millions just to go to the void!
To be honest, waiting for space at that time was not only dangerous, but also required a long period of adaptive training. The environment after entering the void was also quite poor, but many rich people still flocked to it!
This scene now is so similar to that of the past!
The ingredients used for barbecue are of course the best, but in comparison, their transportation costs are hundreds of times higher!
Do they taste good?
No! What they eat is artistic conception!
Lando is not here to enjoy, he is here to practice in this environment!
So after experiencing the fun of stepping on a black hole, I declined the invitations of other tourists and returned directly to my room on the spaceship.
The staff of Star Trace Amusement Park noticed Lando's movements. After all, it was a bit strange to spend a lot of money to come to the surface of the black hole, but instead of going out to play, he hid in the spaceship and did not go out.
But it is Lando who spends the money after all. He can do whatever he wants, and of course the amusement park employees will not question it.
In this way, in a relatively quiet environment, Lando began to practice the star gathering martial arts!
Although the black hole No. tk-303b has been completely suppressed, the practice of star gathering martial arts only requires conscious perception. This is the best environment!
