Chapter 157 Is spring coming for the intelligence department?
Yumu District.
At the edge of the concrete wall covered with vines and bullet holes, a sound of breaking through the air was heard.
Before the snow wolf, which was lying on the ground chewing on the dead body, could react, it was nailed to the tree trunk with a throwing spear.
Fang Chang, who was holding a mechanical compound bow, stepped forward and checked the prey. It was already dead. When he saw the short spear that had penetrated the tree trunk, he couldn't help but smack his tongue.
"This is so awesome!"
The trunk of this tree is as thick as a thigh.
If he were to shoot with an arrow, he wouldn't be able to shoot through it unless he charged up the shot.
No, even if it is 80% charged, it is still too much, unless it can be replaced with arrows forged from pure steel.
Kuangfeng looked at his right hand, his face full of silence, and murmured to himself in a low voice.
"...Is he so strong?"
"Brother Feng."
"What?"
"In the future, use another hand to wipe your butt."
"Get out!"
Guangfeng stepped forward and pulled out the throwing spear, but only half of it was pulled out, and the other half was left behind the tree trunk.
As for the mutated snow wolf, there is no need to look at it, it must be dead.
Fang Chang: "The strength of your right hand must be at least 30 points. It feels like it is enough to penetrate a steel plate. Think more broadly, not just throwing spears, flying knives, throwing arrows, stones and bricks... Damn, I suddenly
I feel like Lao Bai’s strength system is completely a trap, and he can be beaten with a mechanical arm.”
"Not necessarily," Kuangfeng shook his head and said, "I remember Brother Guang said in the group a long time ago that at the 10th level of the gene sequence, the power system should unlock exclusive skills. Otherwise, compared with machines, it is indeed a bit
It’s useless.”
The strength system is okay, but the worst case scenario is to install a mechanical arm. The alien system players will really suffer, as they are born with the debuff that they are not good at operating complex machinery, not to mention the poor intelligence attribute.
If the shortcomings in this aspect cannot be made up for through skills in the later stage, the alien system will be completely useless. Kuang Feng estimates that there will definitely be new changes by the time he reaches level 10.
"Yes," Fang Chang nodded, "When you said that, I also remembered that the boss of the Blood Hand Clan... almost broke through before he died."
"Yes, and... I feel that this mechanical prosthetic body should have some demand for intelligence attributes," Kuangfeng said thoughtfully, looking at the half-short spear in his hand, "I feel nothing when using it normally.
But if you increase the output power, you will feel a slight dizziness... I am not sure the cause of this phenomenon, and I haven’t seen any similar instructions on the official website.”
Fang Chang touched his chin with interest and suddenly said.
"Speaking of which, what is the power source for your robotic arm?"
Kuang Feng was stunned for a moment and said.
"I don't know, but there is a charging port here."
As he spoke, Guangfeng lifted up his sleeves and showed off the hole in his arm.
Fang Chang stared for a while and said.
"There's more than one hole, there's one on the forearm, there's also one on the shoulder... I don't think they are all charging ports."
Gale: "What else do you think?"
Fang Chang: "Look at the opening on the shoulder. The two bars on the outside are obviously fixed slots. I guess they are used to connect the neural interface of the external implant. Maybe I can install it in the future... uh, install it again.
An arm?"
Kuang Feng: "..."
It would be okay to put another arm on.
Doctor Octopus?
It doesn't seem impossible.
However, he does not have a third arm in reality. If this non-existent arm is installed, how should it be used... and so on.
Guangfeng suddenly raised his head, looked at Fang Chang and said.
"Do you still remember the description of the intelligence system on the official website? I remember it said that the intelligence system attributes will affect the operation and number of connections to the neural access equipment."
Fang Chang nodded.
"I was thinking about this issue just now. Maybe mechanical transformation is the correct way to play the intelligence-based combat profession. If the store opens the purchase of implanted prosthetics in the future, maybe the spring of the intelligence-based profession is coming!"
It’s spring for the intelligence department.
Guangfeng suddenly burst into tears.
It always felt like he had been waiting for a long time, and this was considered to be the end of his wait.
Fang Chang: "But you have to be careful. If I drop my mechanical bow, I can pick it up. If you die...even if the arm can be recovered, I feel that it will be difficult to put it back on."
Kuangfeng held his right arm and said calmly.
"Don't panic, I will take good care of my unicorn arm."
Amused by this guy's sultry expression, Fang Chang said with a smile: "That really needs to be taken care of. By the way, you'd better try not to show off on the forum for a while."
"...why?"
Looking at Guangfeng who was obviously planning to go to the forum to show off, Fang Chang sighed quietly.
"Brother, do you know how many people were seriously injured and had to be repaired last night? I estimate that there is less than a quarter of the 117."
A mechanical arm!
Not to mention the players who were replaced.
A player like him who suffered a slight injury and couldn't get up or down, just put a bandage on it, would be so envious of his European emperor's luck!
Thinking of those players who were clamoring for a sharp knife, the usually calm wind became nervous.
"Then I'll make up a story later..."
"It's best this way," Fang Chang nodded, "Just say that you saved their leader's life and that you gave your life for this robot arm. This reason is better than just going to the ground and waking up with an extra piece of equipment."
It’s better if God pretends.”
Kuangfeng nodded quickly.
"Okay, it's up to you!"
"When someone asks me that, that's what I say."
…
Boulder City.
A plane taking off and landing vertically crossed the towering concrete wall, crossed the outer city area, and landed on the tarmac of the outer building in the inner city.
With three teammates, Li Hua jumped out of the parked plane, walked towards the commander waiting at the edge of the tarmac, and gave a military salute.
"Reporting to the commander, the mission failed. The other party refused to hand over the prisoners of war and refused to conduct further negotiations on the issue of ransom."
The middle-aged man who looked like an army officer nodded and did not blame them.
"Okay, I understand, you go down first."
"yes."
You must be very careful when dealing with disputes between the legion and companies. If you anger the legion, the war may spread to Qingquan City.
Provoking enterprises is also a problem. Although they are far away and it is unrealistic to directly send troops here, as long as the other party raises the regional risk rating and tightens its own bank's loan support for trade routes, it can immediately attract businessmen from the east coast.
If the team is half as small, we will lose hundreds of millions of chips in less than a year.
No matter who wins in the end, they will go there.
It would be best if we could buy prisoners of war as a favor.
If this peacemaker fails, it doesn't matter. At least give it a try. When the time comes, envoys from either side will come and ask, and they will have an explanation.
…
Outside the outpost, the heavy snow stopped for a moment.
Yu Hu, who was carrying a hunting bow, walked all the way and finally saw the outline of the south gate. But what confused him was that he always felt that there were many fewer people here than usual today.
Are you all busy?
The guard at the door recognized his face and let him go after routinely checking his pass.
The chimneys in the industrial area are still floating, and the sound of banging metal comes from the half-covered factory buildings from time to time. It seems that there should be someone inside.
Without staying in the industrial area to the south for too long, Yu Hu went straight to the main building of the sanatorium.
There was a room with a sign there. Yu Hu didn't know what the sign said. He only knew that it was a bank and where his sister worked.
This job is very easy. Most players with VMs have already used electronic payment, and only newcomers will use metal currency.
When there is nothing to do, Xiaoyu would sit at the wooden table at the door and read while holding a book.
When he arrived at the door of the bank and saw Xiaoyu sitting at the wooden table reading a book, Yu Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
"Xiaoyu, are you okay?"
"Brother?" Xiaoyu raised his head and looked at his second brother standing at the door in surprise. He put down the book in his hand and asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
Yu Hu smiled and said, "I'm not worried about you! There was a bright beam of light in the north last night. My eldest brother, sister-in-law, and parents were all worried about you, so I came to see you for them."
Xiaoyu: "I'm fine. I saw that very bright light last night. It's quite far away from here, so it doesn't have any impact."
"I'm relieved that you're okay!" Looking at his safe sister, Yu Hu said happily, "Remember to eat more meat. Only by eating meat can you grow taller."
The little fish shook his head like a rattle.
"Don't eat too much. If you eat too much, you will gain weight."
Yu Hu: “It would be great if you gain more flesh!”
Xiaoyu: "No!"
The little girl was good at everything, but she was too stubborn and Yu Hu had never defeated her in terms of arguments since he could remember. He sighed and stopped arguing with her.
"Forget it, you don't understand, I won't argue with you... Speaking of which, what is your book? Is it good?"
Xiaoyu raised the corners of his lips slightly, looked at the old man who was blind, and said as if to show off.
"This is what Brother Chu and the others said! Xiaoyu is learning two languages now!"
Yu Hu, who was playing with the book, said dumbly.
"Ah? Then you don't know how to learn skewers?"
Xiaoyu said proudly: "No way, Xiaoyu is very smart! Brother Chu said that as long as I study hard, he will reward me with sweets."
Yu Hu looked envious.
It’s not that I envy my sister for having books to read.
Sugar.
He also wants to eat...
…
Seeing that his sister was fine here and even looked better than when she was at home, the little worry in Yu Hu's heart disappeared.
I planned to say hello to Brother Chu before leaving, but unfortunately Brother Chu was not here. The old man in charge of the warehouse said that he seemed to have gone to the north, and just a few minutes ago.
Thinking of the nuclear explosion in the north last night, Yu Hu couldn't help but worry a little, hoping that the place where Brother Chu went would not be too dangerous.
Every year, there are one or two unlucky guys on Beit Street who get sick from radiation. They can only lie in hospital beds and wait to die because they cannot afford expensive radiation abatement agents.
Moreover, compared to the radiation itself, the alien species attracted by the radiation will be more dangerous, and the probability of breeding dangerous species will be much higher than in other places.
Anyway, may he live long.
In this ruined world, there are too few people as kind as Brother Chu!
…
"A sneeze."
Chu Guang, who was sitting in the light truck, suddenly sneezed without warning. Xia Yan, who was sitting beside him, glanced at him.
"Have you caught a cold?"
"No, I guess someone is interested in me."
It was originally said casually, but the guy sitting next to him didn't know what was wrong with him and suddenly glared at him.
"Whoever cares about you, don't be too sentimental."
Chu Guang: "...?"
What the hell.
While he was talking, the truck drove up next to the Pioneer.
Chu Guang jumped out of the car and helped the lame Boss Xia.
After getting off the truck, Xia Yan glanced left and right, at the huge steel platform and tracks, then at the rumbling production workshop next to him, and whispered.
"Speaking of which, why did you bring me here? Is there any new job? Let me tell you in advance, I don't want to be too far away from the shelter, and I don't want to live outside..."
Hey?
You are quite picky.
Chu Guang: "Okay, I've decided to leave you outside for two days."
When he heard that he had really changed his position, Xia Yan had a bitter look on his face and muttered in a low voice with grievance.
"Hey... if you have any objections to me, just tell me, why don't I change it?"
Chu Guang glanced at her without saying a word, and took her straight to the elevator of the Pioneer. A woman wearing white winter clothing had been waiting there for a long time and smiled at the two of them.
Her name is Wu Ya, she is a medical staff member in the Logistics Department of the Pioneer, and is good at research related to surgery and implantation of prostheses.
Walking up to her, Chu Guang went straight to the point.
"Doctor Wu, this lame man is left to you."
Amused by the name "Cripple", Dr. Wu looked at him with a smile and said.
"Please rest assured that our technology is professional."
"Well, don't let her die."
"!! Wait, what are you doing?" Xia Yan, confused by this conversation, turned pale and took a step back nervously, "What are you going to do to me?"
After all, Wu Ya couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing. After giving Chu Guang a complaining look, she then looked at her patient and said.
"Your boss is joking with you. He bought a mechanical prosthesis for you. I will install it for you in a while. Please rest assured that prosthetic implant surgery is a very mature technology here, and the probability of accidents is less than
1%, and even if an accident occurs, the risk is completely controllable."
Implantation of prosthesis?
Operation?
Xia Yan was completely stunned.
After a while, she looked at Chu Guang in disbelief.
"you……"
Knowing what she wanted to say, and knowing that this vulgar guy couldn't say anything nice to say thank you, Chu Guang waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that she could stop.
"It's not necessary if you thank me. Just work hard and repay me."
After saying these words, he walked towards the action camp. The players in the camp were still waiting for him to arrange work.
Looking at Chu Guang's leaving figure, Xia Yan was slightly startled, and her mood was gradually filled with complex emotions.
Implantation of prosthetics...
That one must be very expensive.
At least it's still expensive in Boulder.
She had seen several implants in store windows several times. Some powerful implants were even comparable to an android with rudimentary intelligence. Even citizens with citizenship would shake their heads when they saw it, saying they couldn't buy it.
rise.
Generally speaking, only powerful mercenaries or private armed forces maintained by big bosses have the opportunity to use such expensive equipment.
To be honest, after seeing her legs become like that, she basically gave up any hope for the future. Even if Chu Guang once told her that if she performed well, he would give her a leg.
I never took it seriously, I just regarded it as a cake painted on the wall.
After all, it's something worth tens of thousands of chips.
How could it be used on someone like me...
Not to mention that the guy told him in a joking tone.
"Do you need me to wait for you for a while?" Dr. Wu Ya walked to her side and said softly, "Anyway, you are the only one scheduled for today's surgery."
Pulling up his collar to hide his ears that were red from the cold, Xia Yan grabbed the crutch stuck in the snow again, turned to look at the elevator and whispered.
