Chapter 668 Taking Ciri to Visit Omega (3) Modin Calls
"... From what we have read from the "last words" left by the Protheans in the last reincarnation, intelligent machines will harvest all civilized races in the galaxy every 50,000 years. They have done this 700 times, and now
It is the new round of the 49990th year..."
Xie Yuan told Xili with a rare serious look: "There were two types of survivors in the previous era, a kind of intelligent and special creature, such as Solian, which is a plant-based intelligent creature. It has verified
Harvest all this.
The second type is when the Protheans are desperate and hope to survive the harvest period and make a comeback by hiding themselves.
But it is a pity that the first Thorian did not have normal moral ethics and could not tell the difference between Reaper slaves and ordinary people. After being deceived by Reaper slaves and Turian agent Saren, she became indiscriminate.
The earth fought me—and died.”
"My God... this can only be said to be a pity, but it is understandable. In my opinion, Solian is not a creature that is beneficial to us."
After Ciri learned that Solian once controlled the residents of a small town to live like marionettes, he had no good impression of this plant creature, and then directly focused on the next follow-up situation.
"The other is a living person that the Protheans worked hard to hide - but it is a pity that this is the only Prothean who has survived for fifty thousand years."
Xie Yuan said with great regret: "At this time, this last Prothean is under my care and has been living in secret."
"Wow! An alien who has lived for fifty thousand years?!"
Xili couldn't hide the look of shock on her face: "Huh... Fifty thousand years ago, I really don't know how he survived, and you actually hid it for him? But why do you do this? Are you worried that someone will harm you now?
he?
Isn’t it possible? Now, shouldn’t the Asari, Salarian, these Council races and even the Hanar people start to worship him again?”
"If he was just a person, I would suggest him to do this and be honored on the altar until the end of his life." Xie Yuan also scratched his head helplessly, "But I accidentally did something that made
Once he appears, he will become extremely dangerous."
"What's going on?"
"He is no longer a person," Xie Yuan said faintly, "I once dreamed of going back through the ages, meeting him in another timeline, and at the same time saving two boxes of embryos that were about to be hatched by their race - the extinct Puro
The fairy race has reappeared in the world."
"Isn't this bad? He no longer needs to be the last vengeful spirit?" Ciri was very puzzled.
"No, the emergence of this small tribe will bring about huge changes in the entire society - all of them, the Protheans, may be lifted up to the altar and revered as the supreme noble..."
Speaking of this, Xie Yuan paused for a moment: "But they will never be able to reproduce healthily again, because they will become a so-called protected species, accepting the admiration and wait-and-see of the world - just like your zoo in Night City.
Visiting a caged beast.
One day, they will discover that the Prothean society is actually different from the current understanding. At that time, in order to limit the development of the Protheans, a lot of fame will make the new Protheans gradually get lost in it.
Then they will become slaves of indulgence and extravagance forever - and eventually gradually die out. The official only needs to say that the last Prothean died due to such and such shameful reasons, and the "god" who once controlled them all died sadly.
_o_m ”
"That's why you would rather hide them... um... so..." Xili looked at Xie Yuan and spread his hands, "Is there any way to stop this so-called mechanical race from... harvesting the world?
I mean, if you knew about these things, why didn't you do some actual operations instead of doing nothing here?"
"How do you know I didn't do anything?" Xie Yuan sneered, "Before I tell you, I have prepared three plans to deal with this matter - the first of which is gradually coming to an end.
Another one is starting, and the third one can only be said to be a revenge plan after the failure of the first two - now I am just looking for the possibility of implementing the fourth plan."
"Does that mean we can finally get rid of them? And then the world can be preserved?" Xili glared. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 668: Taking Ciri to visit Omega (3) Modin calls
Big eyes looked at Xie Yuan hopefully, hoping for a positive ending.
But disappointingly, Xie Yuan’s answer was depressing: “Wrong, every plan is a helpless solution to preserve species.
The first plan is an escape plan; the second plan was actively passed on to humans by the Reapers, with unknown intentions. I prepared it step by step, but will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary; the third plan relies on our executors.
Thousands of years after the harvest is completed, the power will re-invest humanity into the earth - and then prevent the power of revenge from going directly to the dark space where the reapers begin to sleep again, and then blow up the reapers' lair."
"But...isn't there a plan that can stop the Reapers in advance or defeat the Reapers in a frontal war?" Whether it is escaping, accepting the enemy's plan, or even stealing home for revenge after being attacked, Xili believes that
Too weak, "Why isn't there a perfect way to protect everyone?"
"Because I'm sorry to say: We, including all races in the universe, have no way to completely defeat the mechanical race of reapers."
Xie Yuan's helpless answer left Cili speechless: "All of our technological levels are set in advance by the Reapers, and there are few who can surpass the technological level of the Reapers.
As a race that fully masters all technologies, they even have more than 700 technological reserves in different directions - and we have only just reached a more basic level, how can we fight with a race that has complete technology?"
"There is no need to fight!" Xie Yuan summed up everything in one sentence, "We are at least a thousand years too late in front of such a super giant - it was only a few years ago when we discovered this matter, and we had to make all preparations
No.
If there hadn't been some Prothean resisters from the previous generation who risked their lives to tamper with the castle, we would have been defeated at the beginning - and because of this, we got the opportunity to select survivors and escape."
"...I still don't believe it." After a moment of silence, Shirley disagreed. "We will have nothing to do."
"It's okay!" Xie Yuan reassured, "Follow me for the next few days, and when I finish handling the matter, you can feel it here and you will know how... flashy our place is."
Xie Yuan showed a complicated look on his face, uttered a word, and then continued: "But it is also so fragile and fatuous."
"Okay! I'll go and see for myself." Xili also agreed.
"Okay!" Xie Yuan stood up, "Wake up the cat and let's set off now! First the market area, then the Afterlife Bar."
Shiri, who was just about to stand up and wake up the cat, made a move: "Why should we go to the bar? Although I don't object to it."
“The bar is one thing, but getting to know the local boss is another.”
, she is also the owner of this bar and nightclub."
"An old bustard is actually the master of this planet?!" Xili was so shocked that her outlook was shattered.
But Xie Yuan immediately said "hiss": "Don't say this to your face. This old lady who is more than a thousand years old cannot listen to this."
"Oh!" Xili immediately nodded seriously and made a zipper gesture on her mouth.
…
At this moment, they walked to the market area, and Xie Yuan introduced Xili to Xili, Harlot, the Eco-man, who tricked people to death without paying for their lives: "This is the Carrd District, controlled by Harlot, the Eco-man. The biggest advantage here is that it is stable.
.Because two years ago, the constant war for control between the Volers and the Batarians caused most merchants and customers on the space station to move their business to the relatively stable Carrd District."
"So, this Harlot man is a very good businessman?" Xili immediately asked Xie Yuan, while the cat was grabbing Xili's trousers and timidly looking at the surrounding affairs.
"I think the rest are just average, but as a businessman, I think he is very good at being cunning and selling the upper class to the lower class."
Xie Yuan looked at Aiko and told Shiri gently in a voice that only two people could hear: "If you have no background and are a stranger, it's best not to buy things here. I bought a large amount of goods last time
After coming out of here, we exited the space station. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 668: Taking Ciri to visit Omega (3) Modin calls
It only takes an hour to encounter space pirates."
"Ah?!" Xili was shocked when he heard this. Then he glanced around and resumed his whisper, "Isn't that just a collusion between businessmen and bandits?"
"Yes, but unfortunately, the place you came to is even more lawless than Night City. Harold is already considered a kinder merchant."
Xie Yuan also spread his hands and explained helplessly: "The gadgets, weapons, armors or shields are all fair, a little more expensive than the ordinary market, but once sold, they cannot be returned or exchanged.
If the buyer of a large item is a madman, he will find a way to make a profit - but he probably doesn't dare to do this recently."
"Why?!" Shirley became a little interested.
"It's very simple. After I used the puppet to buy the goods twice, I left the goods in the space and dropped a cheap empty ship and a bomb.
Then as soon as the pirates boarded the ship, "It crashed!"
Xie Yuan made a gesture to spread the fireworks: "They all exploded together."
"Then since you tricked the pirates..." Shirley looked at Harlot, the Eko man who was as stable as a rock at the moment, "He looks pretty good."
"So I have to say that there is someone behind this Harlot - this can't hurt him." Xie Yuan made a gesture of inviting a lady first, "Go, I can say that Harlot is already the most popular person here.
An honest businessman.”
Xili showed a speechless smile and could only walk up bravely and say hello to the Eco people: "Hi! Boss, have you purchased any new goods recently?"
"A very happy look: welcome, a stranger that Omega has never met before."
The Eco's tone was prefixed with happiness: "There is everything here, please feel free to check it out at the data pad next to it.
With a serious expression: Please note that I do not negotiate prices here, nor do I advocate returns."
Xili showed an expression of "Sure enough," and then clicked on the terminal next to her to check.
Xie Yuan also came up in the same way: "Hi! Harold, long time no see. I heard that you also hired a quarian worker?"
"A puzzled look: Who are you? Have we ever met?"
Harold was a little confused. He didn't recognize the man in front of him.
"Ha! Harlot, Harlot, you are such a noble person and forgetful of things."
Xie Yuan laughed and immediately changed the subject, pointing at Xili: "This is my student, Xili, Harlot. The weapons and equipment you will transfer to her later must be new ones - I don't
Accept old items for refurbishment.”
As he spoke, a thin, glossy obsidian card suddenly appeared out of nowhere in his hand and waved it in front of Harold: "I only hope I can use this card when I'm drinking and watching dancers."
"Serious expression: It turns out that I am a high-level VIP guest of Elia. I will definitely meet your request."
Harlot, the Eco man, paused for a while and said: "With a slightly aggrieved expression, in fact, even if you don't say it, I plan to give you the real thing - there is really not much money to be made by trading in the M3 Predator pistol and the M-4 Ninja Dart submachine gun.
.”
"Uh-huh! It's good to know. You are a businessman who pays more attention to reputation in Omega. If you are greedy for this little thing... Huh-huh. @ESSENTIAL\/书馆·无码first~~"
Xie Yuan sneered at this, but before the Eco man could say anything else, Xie Yuan interrupted directly: "Ah, by the way, where is the Quarian I mentioned?"
"An expression of compassion: The quarian lost his travel expenses and had no one to live with, so I helped him settle down and let him open a branch as an assistant.
But he doesn't know why he's crazy. He always complains about the lack of customers, often curses, complains about this and that - I'm worried that he is a little rude to you... If you want any electronic plug-ins, I actually have them here...
…”
Harold argued hesitantly.
Xie Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Harlot, who suddenly felt like he was in a bloody and cold environment, feeling cold and scared.
"This is a guy who has killed many people!" Harold immediately understood, and then secretly cursed himself as a fool - what are you doing to provoke a murderer?!
"After all, the Quarians often experiment with special accessories on protective suits, so they have no idea about this electronic plug-in. (This chapter is not over yet!)
Chapter 668: Taking Ciri to visit Omega (3) Modin calls
Identification is very skillful, I trust the experts more here..."
"Or..." Xie Yuan looked at Harlot with a sarcastic smile on his face, "Do you really like to torture your wife so much that you even bother to disturb my shopping interests?"
"The look of disapproval: I definitely didn't - now that I think about it, the Quarians do have a way with this."
Harold was in extreme denial, but he began to tremble slightly at this moment - which indeed proved that he was scared.
After purchasing the necessary weapons, Ciri left with Xie Yuan with Harlot's "Welcome to come again next time" concluding remarks.
But she was still a little puzzled by Xie Yuan's cynicism towards Harlot: "Are you doing this to retaliate for what happened before?"
"Retaliation? No," Xie Yuan shook his head, "If you want revenge, you can't use words but directly use guns. I'm warning him - don't always let your own dark psychology persecute those who are desperate in Omega.
people."
Xie Yuan then told Shiri that due to the astonishingly high gravity of their home planet, the Eco people evolved into an elephant-like shape with four legs on the ground. As a result, they were often ridiculed by other races, and even competed with other races in the universe.
In the early days of racial contact, there was a dark history of the Eco people being captured and ridden as rare mounts.
Before Harold achieved his current status, he probably had this kind of experience when he was young. Therefore, Harold's deep inferiority complex made him cunning and mean, and he especially liked to exploit rookies like this who had just smuggled themselves to Omega.
It gave him an unusually satisfying feeling.
The same was true for the quarian - he was stranded in Omega because he lost his travel expenses, and he worked under him in desperation. As a result, Harold suppressed the quarian's business every day, making him starve to death.
, and couldn’t raise the money to leave.
"Ah...this...this Harold is simply a coward - ah, what do I expect?"
Ciri, who was extremely shocked, reacted immediately. After laughing at herself for a while, she then looked at Xie Yuan: "Then do we need to help the Quarian out of his predicament?"
"Taking care of his business is the best way to help him - if you help him too much, it will make him mistakenly think that he can get through the difficulties only by relying on the help of others... This becomes charity and being treated.
The relationship between giving and giving.@精品\/书馆*First update~~”
At this point Xie Yuan shook his head: "And this is not my original intention - I can help others, which is help; but if I solve his problem all at once, it is charity.
The latter will have a bad impact on him and us."
Xili didn't say anything after hearing this, and just nodded seriously.
However, after they arrived at the quarian bar, Ciri spent all the remaining money on the quarian's purchase terminal.
"You don't have any opinion?" Xili asked Xie Yuan when leaving.
"How could it be?" Xie Yuan shook his head and said indifferently, "Anyway, this is your employment deposit, but after you pay the money here, you have to wait until I finish the work before I can settle the payment to you.
Anyway, at my place, food and accommodation are included, but your pocket money has to be paid after completing the collaborative task, is that okay?"
"Of course, no problem!" Shirley agreed, "I can't wait to see what you are doing."
"Huh?! Dr. Modin?" Xie Yuan glanced at the caller ID and pointed at Ciri with a smile, "You are really lucky. You were short of money just now, and you have the will to lead all this and give you money.
"
Shirley: “?_????”
Xie Yuan did not explain too much, but directly opened the communication channel of the multi-purpose tool and greeted: "Hey, doctor, have you gained anything?"
"The harvest was good...I got a lot of information, but I lack manpower——"
As soon as Modin saw Xie Yuan, he started firing machine guns at a rapid rate: "The research progress of that thing is nearing the end. The target captured last time is indeed useful... but it is useless - but don't worry about this, it is your time to take action now."
It’s time for the personnel to show up.”
"Got it!" Xie Yuan nodded, "I'll be right over."
After hanging up the communication, Xie Yuan. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 668: Taking Ciri to visit Omega (3) Modin calls
He took out a manuscript from his backpack, tore off a page, then used a pen to scribble on the paper, then handed it to Shiri: "When the time comes, teleport to this place, we will have
Work done."
Xili looked at the painting in her hand and frowned slightly, then seemed to understand the content inside. Then she handed the painting back to Xie Yuan and said to him: "I already have a clue, I can go."
"Then let's go!" Xie Yuan picked up the white paper and balled it up, threw it aside, and led Xili in the same direction.
Half an hour later, a man wrapped in a coat, wearing a round felt hat and sunglasses came here and picked up the crumpled white paper.
Then it began to unfold slowly and gently, and finally restored the originally crumpled paper to its visible appearance, but then made him move while looking at it.
"From this piece of paper, I can't seem to see any traces..."
A deep baritone voice came from the headphones.
"Yes, just like the paper I picked up a few times before, it's a meaningless smear signal..." The man in the coat said angrily, and then suggested, "Boss, I can go and bring the girl over. After all this
After so many transformations, I don’t believe I will lose to someone who has never done any transformation at all!”
"What if you lose, Kai Leng?" On the opposite side of the earphone, the phantom man's blue eyes were filled with dripping water for a long time. After blowing out a smoke ring, he asked suspiciously, "If you really want to do this in this game,
After that, you should know that the two of us will immediately change from business partners to unrelenting enemies - you may not even survive on the spot."
"Boss, I'm confident..." The man in the coat, Leng Kai, is still eager to fight.
But then he was interrupted by the Illusive Man: "No, the request is cancelled. Before receiving a new mission, you can continue to observe the target from a distance - remember, do not take the initiative to contact without my order, otherwise... if you don't
If you are beaten to death by him... I will be the one to eliminate you, do you understand?"
Leng Kai endured it for a long time, and finally took off his sunglasses, revealing a sinister face full of hatred... Finally calmed down and accepted the order: "Yes, I understand, boss."
