The ancient trees are towering and lush, exuding a unique fragrance of the jungle. From time to time, there are strange chirping of insects and birds, and dull roars of wild beasts.
No doubt this should be in a forest somewhere
But the iron lump in front of me is incompatible with the lush jungle environment.
I looked at the iron lump in front of me curiously
Well! Could it be said that this is the legendary Titan Castle? But no matter how you look at it, this thing is not much different from a bunker.
The only difference is that this iron bump has four wheels underneath!
Well! Maybe this should not be called an iron lump or a castle, but should be called a mobile bunker with wheels.
Next to the mobile bunker there are nine mechanical golems holding big swords. If you look closely, aren't they the same mechanical monster lightsaber warriors that we killed as monsters in the underground palace of Titan Castle?
The only difference from before is that these lightsaber warriors are now staring at green fonts on their foreheads. This clearly shows that they should be harmless beings and can never be my enemies.
At this moment, a message suddenly flashed across the system menu in the lower left corner
Ding!
System prompt: You have successfully reached the location of the Space-Time Fortress. From now on, you are the master of this fortress.
Haha, this iron lump is really the so-called time and space fortress. Now I finally understand what it means to not look at a person's appearance.
But the problem is too shabby. Look at the nine lightsaber warriors looking at me motionlessly, as if waiting for some order.
Strange, could it be that these robots will be my subordinates?
After thinking about it, I cautiously moved closer to them.
Almost at the same time!
Ding!
System prompt: You got nine subordinates, lightsaber warriors
Then another submenu [Army System] popped up in my system menu just below the team channel. I subconsciously turned on the army system and took a look. I couldn't help but be stunned.
All the information about the 10 lightsaber warriors is neatly arranged inside.
Subordinates: Lightsaber Warrior Level: 133 Health: 330,000 Magic: 13 All things attack: 13 All things defense: 130,000 Magic attack: 130,000 Magic defense: 130,000 Speed: 330 Skill: Laser beam Description: Alchemists of the ancient Titan civilization
The mechanical golems created are also the most loyal guardians of Titan Castle. They have no emotions and will only follow the orders of their masters.
After careful comparison, I found that the lightsaber warrior in front of me was different from the ones I met in the Titan Castle before.
The lightsaber warrior I encountered before was a two-star enhanced monster with a level of 140, a life index of 80, an attack of 140,000, and a defense of 140,000.
And there are three skills: [Laser Beam] [Laser Blade] [Laser Half Moon]. But now my lightsaber warrior is just an ordinary monster, and it only has one skill [Laser Beam]
What's even more depressing is that their health points are only 330,000, attack 130,000, defense 130,000. These attributes are too different.
So this is the difference between ordinary monsters and enhanced monsters?
An iron lump, coupled with 10 defective lightsaber warriors, this is the so-called time and space castle. It is completely different from the tall and magnificent scene of thousands of troops and horses in the imagination.
When I think about how much effort Xue Xi and the others have put into getting such an iron lump plus nine robots, I feel so depressed that I want to hit the wall.
Just when I was stunned for a moment, I suddenly heard
Swish, swish, swish, the sound breaks through the air!
The sound came so suddenly that I couldn't help but be startled. I subconsciously looked up and saw several lightsaber warriors waving blue lightsabers and killing a monster. It was a giant python.
The same monster, from time to time it shoots out silver ice arrows from its mouth
The ice arrow is very fast, but its attack power seems to be lacking. The lightsaber warrior it hit only caused damage of -20,000 hp.
In comparison, the attacks of the lightsaber warriors were quite sharp, and they hit one out of ten. The dazzling [laser beam] kept flashing and stirring. In just ten seconds, the python monster was killed by the lightsaber warriors.
The [Laser Beam] was riddled with holes and then exploded with several gold coins and debris all over the floor.
After killing the monster, the ten lightsaber warriors remained motionless, looking at me indifferently.
at the same time!
Ding!
System prompt: Your subordinate lightsaber warriors kill the monster [Gray Python], you can order your subordinates to collect the loot through the [Army System]
I clicked on [Army System] and saw that there were a lot of options in it.
The one in the first row was [Voice Command], so I quickly activated the first voice command and said: "Collect loot."
Almost at the same time as I gave the order, one of the ten lightsaber warriors suddenly raised their hands and gave me a standard military salute, and then said in a cold and mechanical voice: "Sir,"
Then he quickly walked to the place where the monster died and picked up all the debris and gold coins on the ground.
Then the lightsaber warrior just now saluted me again and said, "Sir, the trophies have been collected. Please give me instructions on how to distribute the trophies."
At the same time, a series of item information popped up in the system bar
20 gold coins, 1 snake skin, 1 long blood-replenishing pill, 5 fangs, 5 snake meat, 500 pounds, 1 snake gall;;;;;; While looking at the information on these items, another string of information flashed in the system prompt bar
Ding!
System prompt: You can process the trophies obtained by the army through the [Army System] submenu [Intelligent Loot Distribution Mode]. As long as the classification of items is set in advance, your subordinates can accurately and quickly process all the trophies according to your instructions.
I quickly opened the submenu of [Army System] and took a look.
As expected, there is [Intelligent distribution of loot for you]. Although the dense series of commands seems very complicated, I quickly understood the secrets with my many years of gaming experience.
So I quickly made the settings
In the equipment column, ordinary items without stars are classified as garbage, so after picking them up, they are all thrown into the fortress [ordinary warehouse]. After accumulating a certain amount, they can be returned to the city and sold to the recycling NPC to obtain stars.
Then throw it to the [Excellent Warehouse] of the fortress for later processing.
The final equipment that exceeds four stars will be thrown into the [Quality Warehouse] to wait for processing.
The rest of the miscellaneous items have also been set similarly.
In this way, the combat subordinates will clean up the trophies and store the trophies in the corresponding warehouses. All I have to do is check the major warehouses from time to time.
I have to say that this menu command is indeed very flexible and efficient.
After I set up the menu and started execution, the ten lightsaber warriors retreated
‘I’ looked around and then said: “Be careful”
"Yes," the lightsaber warrior responded indifferently, then drew his sword in his hand and watched the surroundings with vigilance.
I was quite satisfied when I saw this scene. This was the first time I had tasted the style of a superior since I was a child. Although I only had ten men under my command, and they were all dull-witted robots, I still felt that spontaneous sense of accomplishment.
Makes me feel good haha
After the decoration was completed, I curiously walked into this iron lump
At this time, I was surprised to find that there was something extraordinary inside the iron lump that looked unremarkable on the outside. To use a fashionable saying, it was advanced.
Yes, the interior of the fortress actually has a sense of ultra-modern technology.
The huge computer screen clearly displayed an eye-catching slogan [Time and Space Fortress Console]. As soon as I walked in, I heard a soft female voice: "Welcome, respected sir Suifengfeng"
I was startled and quickly looked up and looked around, looking for the source of the sound.
At this moment, I suddenly noticed a blond woman wearing a short skirt and military uniform standing in front of me.
"Hey, who are you?"
"I am the artificial intelligence of the fortress. You can call me Taiya. I am happy to serve you."
Completely different from the cold and dull lightsaber warriors outside, this woman named Taiya said that the facial expressions of artificial intelligence are extremely vivid, and she looks like a real person.
"Taya, artificial intelligence, is really high-tech." After thinking about it, I asked curiously: "This is my first time coming into contact with the Time and Space Fortress, and I don't know what to do at all. Can you tell me what to do next?"
"
"Yes, sir, Taiya exists to assist you in handling various daily affairs." Taiya paused slightly and then continued: "The first step is that you must learn how to control this fortress. In fact, this step is very simple. All you have is
All orders can be executed on your behalf through Taiya."
I asked curiously: "Does this mean that as long as I use my words, you can carry out my orders according to my wishes?"
Taiya smiled and said: "Yes"
I couldn't help but feel happy: "Haha, it's really advanced enough."
Having said this, I looked at Taiya curiously: "By the way, you are really just an artificial intelligence, not a real person hired by a game company to fool me."
Taiya said: "Taya is the most advanced artificial intelligence produced by the Titan Empire. Although I can simulate various emotions of human women and understand various complex commands, in essence I am still a set of program data and do not have the
Real human emotions, so I can’t be considered human”
I touched my nose awkwardly. It seemed that I was being suspicious.
In fact, I have always had a very strange feeling since entering the world of divine rituals.
That’s because the NPCs in this game are intelligent, or too humane.
NPC residents in the abyss world feel like real people to me
As for the monsters, what impressed me the most was the terrifying female monster [Shadow Demon Yesa] who actually lost her temper and knew how to play tricks. It was a bit weird no matter how you looked at it.
And now I meet Taiya in front of me again
To be honest, if these NPCs run automatically through artificial intelligence, then the current computer technology would be too scary.
It's almost possible to make the fake look real.
Of course, this idea only flashed in my mind for a moment, and was quickly forgotten. Compared with those irrelevant questions, I was more interested in how this [Space-Time Fortress] could work.
"I already know the control method, so what should I do next? I mean how can I change my fortress from the current iron lump into a real Titan castle?"
Tai Ya said: "This must be done step by step. First you must let the fortress unfold."
I said in shock: "The fortress has been deployed. Are you saying that my fortress has not been fully deployed yet?"
Tai Ya said: "Yes, the time and space fortress is in its original state and cannot be produced or constructed, so you must let it unfold."
It suddenly dawned on me, that’s it. The game [StarCraft] is no different. The first step in the game is to expand the base and then build and develop it.
I was about to order the fortress to be deployed, but after thinking about it I changed my mind: "By the way, I want to take the fortress back to the abyss world, can I expand it again?"
Tai Ya said: "The current time and space fortress is in its most primitive stage and does not have the ability to move, so your instructions cannot be completed."
I was dumbfounded: "It can't move. Isn't it called a time and space fortress? Isn't it said that it can also do long-distance space teleportation?"
Taiya explained: "The time and space fortress can only have the ability to move and space teleport after it is upgraded to eight stars."
I thought for a while and said: "Then how many stars does my fortress have now?"
Tai Ya said: "The current time and space fortress is in its most primitive state, without even a single star."
I said depressedly: "Isn't this me? I must upgrade the fortress before I can return to the abyss world."
Taiya said: "Yes"
My hope failed, I was very depressed, so I had no choice but to order: "Expand the fortress"
Following my order, there was a sound of rolling wheels and the clicking sound of metal friction.
The shaking lasted for about a minute before finally stopping
Tai Ya said: "The expansion of the time and space fortress is complete, you can proceed with the next step of production and construction."
At this time, a very modern building appeared on the large computer screen.
It looks like the shape of the human base in StarCraft.
At this moment, this base is standing alone in the jungle.
Then a series of menus popped up in the lower right corner of the screen.
I looked carefully and saw that there were four sub-menus on it: [Production] [Upgrade] [Recycling] [Construction]
There are several lines of numbers above the four submenus.
If I look carefully, it clearly says [Funds] [Metal] [Energy] [Wood] [Food]. I quickly walked to the big screen to check the functions of these command menus.
As expected, these menus contain all the data of the entire fortress.
Having played StarCraft, I understand.
Energy metals are all indispensable strategic materials.
And funds are the indispensable key lifeblood of the game.
At this moment, these data are all a pitiful 10,000
It seems that these are my starting capital and strategic reserves.
After thinking about it, I opened the master control menu, which is [Production] [Upgrade] [Recycling] [Construction]. Having played StarCraft, I am no stranger to these menus. Although I haven’t used them yet, I feel that I should be able to understand these menus.
Usage
For me, who is determined to bring the castle back to the abyss world, the civilization level of the fortress is naturally what I care about most.
So the first item I clicked was [Upgrade] and soon a series of information was displayed in front of me.
Initial level civilization: the original form of the fortress
One-star civilization: Requires 1 million upgrade funds. Two-star civilization: Requires 10 million upgrade funds. Three-star civilization: Requires 100 million upgrade funds. Four-star civilization: Requires 500 million upgrade funds. Five-star civilization: Requires 1 billion upgrade funds.
Looking at the series of astronomical numbers on the menu options, my mind went blank.
The only thought that flashed through my mind was: It's over. Don't expect to bring so much money back with the castle in this life, especially the 50 billion from the 8-star civilization. Even if I were torn apart to buy meat, I wouldn't be able to get so much money.
Unwilling to give up, I continued to check the [Production] option [Worker], which cost 10,000 and required [One-star Barracks] and [Lightsaber Warrior] which cost 20,000 and required [Two-star Barracks] and [Titan; Hunter] which cost 30,000 and required [Three-Stars].
