Chapter 248: The Exploration Team of the Weird World
In the secret stronghold, the leader in black leather was lost in thought.
He didn't believe it completely, but he did half believe it. He didn't believe the words of the awakened person who claimed to be from the Wave City Oasis. He believed it was himself and the intelligence information collected by Area 51.
Since a few months ago, the number and terrifying levels of evil spawns have increased dramatically.
This cannot be faked.
Although the strength of the awakened ones is also rising, as long as you make a trend prediction chart, you can find that the disaster will become more and more serious, and there will be more and more imbalanced areas, until the world falls.
The difference lies in whether most of the world has fallen, or whether the entire world has been completely engulfed.
If it is the latter, it is necessary to prepare in advance at this time and build a Noah's Ark that can continue the fire and redeem the human elite.
"If you want me to believe you, that's fine, but you need to show me your sincerity. For example, you can look for treacherous means."
Hearing what the leader in black leather said, the man in light blue robe shook his head, "No, no, no, everything requires a clear price tag and an exchange of interests. I have already provided you with a lot of information, but there is no one who is sincere enough."
It’s you.”
"What's more, the world will eventually be swallowed up. Even if there are ways to find evil, what's the point?"
The man in light blue robe made a slightly strange request to the leader in black leather robe.
Why does Dudu require that there be means to find evil spirits?
Their city-state of Waves does not have such magical means. Even if it does, what is the point? For thousands of years and even longer, the destruction of worlds and the birth and continuation of oases have proven that the world's sinking and destruction is
foregone conclusion.
The evil spirits are inexhaustible.
There is no point in dealing with evil.
"As someone who has experienced this, I would like to give you a piece of advice: seize the time to accumulate useful power and look for mysterious materials and artifacts. Only these things are meaningful."
"When the world is destroyed, if you can afford to pay enough, the door of our Wave City will be open to some of you."
The leader didn't seem to be moved, and the man in light blue robe didn't mind either, "It's hard for you to have a clear idea of this now, but when you know more about the world of ghosts, you will understand what our Langtang City is like.
oasis.”
"Maybe."
The leader cannot deny.
He was still waiting. Since the man in front of him said that the tide of gray mist was about to come, he waited to see what would happen.
However, you have to start making some preparations.
Donghuang, Sunset and the others are probably taking the wrong path to eliminate evil. This may not be an opportunity for their Bald Eagle Federation.
It’s time to deepen our exploration of the mysterious world.
It's a pity that if the man in front of me hadn't shown great strength and had an even stronger force behind him, I wouldn't have been so passive if I had used some extra means.
…
Pacific training base.
At this time, one day has passed since the first occult basic examination.
The scores have already been announced. Some are happy, some are sad, and some are frothing at the mouth.
"President, President, cheer up."
When Pearly came back, she saw a girl cheering Eloshi up, but the effect was very little.
In front of President Eloshi was an open textbook. She held a pen, gritted her teeth, and stared at the patterns and words in the textbook as if facing a formidable enemy. Finally, after holding on for a few minutes, she failed.
She fell down and lost her fighting ability.
It's also quite normal.
After all, he is President Irohi who makes people worry.
But Polly didn't have time to worry about it now. She was very busy, so she walked directly through the room where Eloshi was and returned to her rest room.
This made Elohi, who had just gotten up, bewildered.
You don’t even want to comfort me, this president, this abominable plastic sisterhood!
…
Because from yesterday to today, Pearly was in a state of shock and was still in a trance.
She arrived at this training base the day before yesterday.
Yesterday, after taking the oath, Pearly officially joined the membership. She took a special membership quota and did not need to pass the internal examination.
Of course, with her strength, she could easily pass even the internal examination.
Therefore, direct special recruitment.
A shocking day began for Pearly.
After joining the club, she could actually see a simple and mysterious interface in her mind, including "mission acceptance", "item exchange", "evil detection" and so on.
So amazing!
She had previously thought that as the parent organization of the sisterhood, Firepower might be a little more magical, but her imagination was still lacking.
This... is so unscientific!
But really beef beer!
She had already learned the words "beer" and "fuck" from President Eloshi. They are indeed very useful. No matter what situation she encounters, if she chooses one of the two words, she will definitely be able to match them.
contextual.
After tinkering for a while, based on the above suggestions, Pearly exchanged one of the basic skills for 'Punch'.
The next moment you are in a special space.
The next moment, she learned it.
I couldn't help but exclaim: "Mentor Beef!" "Xinhuo Beef!"
Pearly's awakening ability is diamond transformation, which allows her to turn part of her body, or even her entire body, into diamonds, giving her a very powerful defense.
Especially when her whole body is transformed into diamond, her defense has no blind spots and is extremely perfect.
It's just that it's defective, and it can't move even if its whole body is turned into diamonds.
When she fights normally, she is semi-diamond, with diamond-shaped palms and arms, which can be used for both defense and attack. Now she has a heavy attack skill, diamond heavy attack, which can easily smash Xie Xie's head with one blow.
On the first day of joining the club, Pearly felt that she could at least beat the two versions of herself yesterday.
And at this time, she saw a line of recommendations on the exchange - the third awakening recommendation.
"The official warrior of the Fire Flame, 'Polly', your mysterious accumulation has reached the standard, and all the conditions are met. Do you want to apply for the 'Triple Awakening Ceremony'?"
"Tip: It is recommended to carry out the third level awakening as early as possible to start the fourth level accumulation faster. At the same time, the strength will be greatly improved after the third level awakening, which will also help to perform more advanced tasks and make more contributions to the fire and mankind.
.”
"Tip: This redemption can advance contribution points."
Since the recommendation said so, even though Pearly was still a little worried and afraid about the third awakening, after asking President Elohi and Vice President Bai Yansi, she still stepped into the place of awakening without hesitation.
Then,
People go in in the morning and come out in the morning.
When she came out, she was still a little confused. It wasn't because she was tempered by the calamity of awakening, but because... it was too easy. She almost couldn't survive the second awakening several times. After awakening, she was still confused for a long time.
But now it is the third level. It is obviously a more difficult awakening, but I have passed it without knowing it.
It's difficult, yes.
But compared with the previous two awakenings, it seemed like it was gone.
"and……"
Polly touched her forehead, then raised her hand and looked at the back of her hand. It was as smooth as jade. This was just an adjective, not a real jade.
"The previously alienated diamond on the forehead has disappeared, as has the crystallization of the bones on the back of the hand."
"According to the book "Mystery and Awakening", it seems to me... that the level of pollution has decreased? Normal awakening will increase the level of pollution and intensify alienation, but the place where our Xinhuo awakens is even
It can purify pollution.”
"Niubi! Damn it! It's really a firewood!"
This could shock Pearly for ten thousand years, but it happened in just one or two days.
So much so that her whole body is in shock, President Elohi? I'm sorry, President, she doesn't worship him anymore. There is only one person that she, Pearly, worships, admires and follows now.
That mentor!
Master Tutor!
"Everything is for humanity, President, President, you will understand, right?"
Pearly glanced at the situation next door, then looked away and rubbed her forehead.
She was shocked, but in addition to shocking her old mother for ten thousand years, she also faced a difficult problem - she had no contribution points.
To be precise, it is a negative contribution point, a lot negative.
After redeeming the 'Heavy Attack Skill' and several training opportunities, she was in the red. After applying for the Awakening Ceremony, Pearly's contribution points dropped to the bottom.
Need to make money!
No, you need to contribute to the organization.
Otherwise, looking at the dazzling exchange list but unable to buy anything, not even the most basic training cards, Pearly felt it was torture.
She entered the task panel.
——She is a special recruit and is not a student. She does not have a full schedule of courses and can conduct self-study as she wishes.
Pearly also attended several classes.
She was born as a wild awakener and is very aware of the importance of these courses, whether they are theoretical courses or practice courses.
But the problem is...she can't even go to the gravity field now o(╥﹏╥)o!
After much deliberation, Pearly decided to do the task first.
Part-time work and part-time study.
She looked at them one by one.
There are many tasks for Xinhuo. There are cleaning, transportation, construction, planting and other tasks in the training base. These are chore tasks and the contribution points are small. Judging from the requirements, they are probably provided to ordinary people.
For more advanced ones, there are patrol tasks, as well as recruitment of instructors, lecturers, etc.
She couldn't take the latter.
Pearly continued to browse, and gradually understood the task contribution from low to high.
"The most important task is to eliminate evil spirits. However, in high-intensity battles, it takes a long time to restore life energy. I can earn twenty or thirty contributions in one day, which is a lot."
This is still based on familiarity.
But she's not familiar with him, not anywhere.
She still owes more than one hundred contribution points!
Polly looked at the tasks marked with the word 'recommended', which were suitable for triple awakened people and were rich in rewards.
Finally, a special sub-category of tasks was selected - exploration of the mysterious world.
The contribution is very high, and the Secret World is a treasure. The only problem is that such tasks require a team, and as a newbie, Pearly can only be a team member, not the captain.
Fortunately, the taskbar gives very considerate prompts.
Following the prompts, Pearly took out her Xinhuo mobile phone, opened the Xinhuo Forum APP, and selected the ·Task Section·Uncanny World Exploration subsection.
A lot of information jumped out immediately.
…
…
The task section and sub-section of the forum are more lively than Pearly imagined.
"The patrol team at Stronghold Three is recruiting new members, led by veteran graduates, to show you the charm of the mysterious world."
"Is anyone taking over the task of building the defense line of Stronghold No. 4? Mengxin is a wood-type awakener. Please ask a big boss to join the team."
"No. 2 Stronghold, exploration and mapping mission, plans to carry out activities within ten kilometers around the stronghold, currently two are short of two, please give me a shout if anyone has signed up."
"Fortress No. 1, there are three people missing for the practical guard mission of the General Studies Course in the Secret World. The registration deadline is tomorrow."
"No. 2 stronghold, blood snake fruit tree land reclamation mission, led by the fireman 'Luo Jianxing', there are three missing and one is missing, only the reconnaissance department."
Polly had read the instructions, and all tasks involving the mysterious world needed to be carried out in a team. The team size should be at least three people, and if there were more, it could be five, six or seven people.
The key lies in the team leader.
Only experienced second-level experts who have made sufficient contributions within the organization and who have completed the 'Uncanny World General Studies Course' and passed the exam are eligible to form a team and serve as captains.
Pearly also knew the reason.
Yesterday, she roughly flipped through several books, and the textbook she flipped through the most was General Knowledge of the Secret World.
Through this book, she learned that evil is vast, mysterious, and dangerous.
It is also very difficult to enter the treacherous world.
If you want to explore the treacherous world, you need to be led by an experienced and stable strong person. She is not qualified to build a team, and even if she did, she would not dare.
"Yes, there is too much information in it."
"The captain is at least the second level veteran, and Xinhuo's second level..."
Pearly compared herself a little.
She just learned a heavy attack, and her combat power has been greatly improved. The experienced second-level masters in the organization may not be much weaker than herself at the third level.
And there are dozens of such people just by scanning at random.
It is also a sub-section within the task section.
"We have so many powerful people! Niubi! You are worthy of being our organization!"
"But which mission should I choose?"
"No, it's about which task am I suitable for?"
She has had three sleeps, but she is still a little proud. She thinks that the captain also needs three sleeps, so that such a team can earn more.
With this thought in mind, she looked carefully.
There are many teams led by triple awakeners, but they also have requirements, and she cannot go to many teams.
Pouting, Pearly searched.
It didn't take long to find a team that looked like a good fit for me.
"The Strange Realm Exploration Team, led by the fireman Shi Yunxi, is missing a T. If you are interested, please chat privately."
She can be a T!
With some nervous thoughts, Pearly sent the application.
…
Half an hour later, Pearly came to the secret area, the No. 16 training ground next to the first floor of the base, and met her three teammates.
They are all girls.
One of the women, who looked like a royal sister, stepped forward and stretched out her hand.
"Hello, my name is Shi Yunxi."
"Hello, I am Pearly. My ability is a diamond body. I am good at fighting head-on."
As she said that, while shaking hands, she raised her other hand and it turned into a magnificent diamond in an instant.
Beautiful and hard.
It's an enviable ability.
Shi Yunxi withdrew his gaze and continued to introduce to Pearly, "My ability is water, and here is Anna, whose ability is fire. Both of us are long-range output types."
"This one is Cen Jing. Her ability is secret sound. She can hear some special sounds between heaven and earth. She is the investigator of our team."
Several people got to know each other.
Shi Yunxi and Cen Jing are old people who have learned a lot, and Anna is also an outstanding graduate who has studied in the training camp.
It was mainly Pearly. After Shi Yunxi recalled it, he realized that he really didn't recognize her.
A name I have never heard of.
But everyone is Xinhuo's comrade-in-arms, so she thinks it's okay. After a brief run-in, Shi Yunxi said, "Since everyone is okay, it's better to set off sooner rather than later. Let's set off today."
"I have shared the task with you, now let me explain it in detail."
She has been in the instructor position for a long time and her actions are vigorous and resolute.
He immediately opened a map and said, "Our mission is not just to explore the evil, but also has a purpose. We need to go to the northwest of Stronghold No. 2, more than ten kilometers away, to mine the void stone there."
"This mission has a guaranteed contribution. In addition, based on the number of 'Void Stones' we obtain, we can obtain additional contributions, with no upper limit. The mysterious materials collected along the way will have to be sold to the organization when we return.
In exchange for a contribution.”
"Overall, this mission is very worthwhile."
She paused, and seeing that Anna and the others seemed to have almost digested and absorbed it, she continued, "What I want to say now is the precautions for this mission."
"Since this is the first time we are far away from the stronghold, we must first prepare sufficient supplies, including healing potions, energy recovery potions, purification potions, and calming potions. Each of us needs to be equipped with more than 5 bottles."
"You also need to bring a tactical backpack, a bright light torch with sufficient fuel, a variety of life-saving props, etc. You can't be too careful when exploring the mysterious world."
"In addition, I saw a treasure called 'Teleportation Runestone' in the exchange list. The exchange price is 500 contribution points, but the rental price is only 10 contribution points."
"We are going to a relatively far place on this trip, so I think we should rent one. Of course it would be best if we don't need it."
Makes sense.
But wait!
After listening to captain Shi Yunxi's words, Pearly's complexion turned pale.
Only then did she realize that there were so many different ways to explore the treacherous world. It was too... too reckless to just jump in without knowing anything.
She said weakly, "I, I'm afraid I can't."
After a few minutes,
After learning about Polly's life experience and psychological struggle, Shi Yunxi and the other three looked at each other in shock.
They looked at each other.
Anna said, "Specially recruited to join the club, this just shows that you are very good, Pearly."
Shi Yunxi also nodded, "Although your knowledge reserve is not very rich, it's not a big problem. Just follow the instructions. To be honest, the three of us don't have much exploration experience. We are all newbies."
"As for your lack of equipment and potions now, it doesn't matter. You can just make up for it first and then it will be deducted from your harvest."
At Shi Yunxi's suggestion and with Anna and Cen Jing planning and arranging together, Pearly began to cross-dress.
He took off his student entry-level uniform and put on a green-level tight-fitting combat uniform, a white-level standard jacket, and purchased a green finger tiger equipment, a tactical backpack, and a set of medicines.
It can be said that he is armed to the teeth, elementary level.
After finishing her disguise, Pearly couldn't help but feel excited as she looked at her equipment, but she felt even more stressed.
She, Pearly, was heavily in debt on her second day of membership.
…
After all the three people in Shi Yunxi finished changing their clothes, the four-person team set off to the entrance to the No. 2 stronghold in Linshan City.
Their attire is similar to that of Pearly, but their equipment is more advanced.
What Shi Yunxi was wearing was the only piece of magic weapon she bought at a loss, the 'Silver Scale Battle Armor'. It was similar to a battle suit. It clung to her underwear and skin, and outlined her graceful figure, but was blocked by the wide sleeves outside.
The robe completely covered her.
The robe is in the Xinhuo style, and looks like a wide windbreaker. The hem hangs down to the ankles, and the middle zipper closes the entire robe from top to bottom.
It can also be pulled up high. Even if you are an awakened person on the physical side, wearing this fire-style robe will not affect the battle.
It also represents the fire culture.
The orange-red dawn fire is engraved on the black robe, burning brightly, and the sword inserted upside down represents the fire's determination to cut through all thorns.
This is the second uniform to incorporate the Fire logo into it, besides the Fire cloak.
When a man wears it, it looks mysterious and majestic.
When a woman puts it on, she looks beautiful and sassy.
Mengxin Polly followed Captain Shi Yunxi all the way to a high-end community in Linshan City.
Then,
Then I saw the mysterious world shuttle door hidden in the villa, filled with blue brilliance.
"Is the opposite side the mysterious world?"
She swallowed.
Seeing that Polly was a little nervous, Shi Yunxi took her hand and motioned for Anna to hold her. At the same time, he held Cen Jing's hand with his other hand.
Four people holding hands.
As Shi Yunxi stepped forward, a fierce pulling force came. The four of them seemed to be tumbling in a drum washing machine or riding up and down on a roller coaster.
There was a rolling movement, and when a light appeared in front of her, Pearly couldn't stand still and sat on the ground with a slap on her butt.
It doesn't hurt either.
She turned her ass into a diamond by instinct.
He looked up and around in a daze. In front of him was a hall more than ten meters high, with sunlight shining in from the window.
Following the three captains, Pearly walked out of the stone hall and saw dilapidated villas and low gray buildings outside.
Further away are the stretches of white hills, with people and robot-like guys walking around on them, and the sound of clanking mining can be heard.
The most eye-catching thing is the vigorous old tree tens of meters high in front of the mine, with weeping willows and green swaying trees, standing here like a patron saint.
This is the strange world, special, mysterious, and strange.
But some familiar shouts brought her back to reality.
"We are short of three members of the Strange World Exploration Team. If anyone comes, they will start immediately~!"

Two-in-one, sorry for the late update, I’m bald~·!
