Under Mu Qing's strong suppression, the figure shrouded in silver light could not move at all.
It can be seen that it is trying to gather strength, and the silver light flashes violently under its urging, but it is still unable to resist the erosion of Mu Qing's jade-colored light.
Finally, the silver light was dispersed by the jade-colored streamer.
But what surprised Feng Qi was that what was shrouded in silver light turned out to be a puppet made of an unknown material.
The puppet is silver-white in color and takes on the shape of a human, with mechanical holes everywhere on its body.
There is also a silver-white crystal inlaid between the eyebrows.
You can clearly see the gaps between the joints of the puppet, and there is a silver-white gear on the chest, which rotates slowly with the light of the silver-white crystal on the forehead flashing.
"It seems...the alliance of weak tribes in the field...has become unreliable!" A sharp voice came out as the puppet's mouth opened and closed.
After hearing these words, Feng Qi's face turned cold.
When he first came into contact with him, he felt that this guy's voice was very weird, like electronic synthesis...
At first he thought it was the mission issuer who wanted to disguise his identity.
Now it seems that this guy has long anticipated the possible risks of face-to-face transactions and chose to control the puppet.
"It seems... Feng Qi has many secrets." The puppet spoke again at this time.
Under the suppression of Mu Qing's aura, the mental connection to control the puppet was intermittent, making it very difficult for the puppet to speak smoothly, and it was even difficult to control the puppet's actions.
"How to deal with it?" Mu Qing turned to look at him at this moment.
At this time, the puppet grinned mockingly and revealed a crazy smile:
"If... I guessed correctly... Feng Qi should also be a certain domain force... and this domain force also controls the alliance of weak races in Star City... What an unexpected piece of information!"
Facing the provocation from the puppet, Feng Qi's expression remained normal.
He doesn't care about such provocation.
Since the launch of the super virtual game, he has been in a dangerous situation and does not care about the provocation of a small force.
As for why it is determined that this is a small force.
From a normal historical perspective, the strongest force in Star City in the future is the old fan who controls the Hupo Research Institute.
There is a high probability that this small force will be wiped out during the development and growth of the old fans.
No matter from the perspective of history or the current strength of the Daybreak organization, this small force cannot make waves.
What made him regretful was that he thought he could catch a little mouse in advance.
Unexpectedly, this little mouse was so cautious and escaped this fishing operation.
Judging from this point alone, this small force is quite good, at least much better than the Yeying Clan who only know how to control their minds.
Thinking of this, Feng Qi said coldly:
"Tear it apart and take the parts back for study."
After hearing his instructions, Mu Qing did not hesitate and grabbed the silver-white crystal on the puppet's forehead with her left hand.
The extremely hard body of the puppet was powerless against Mu Qing's power. The silver-white crystal on its forehead was twisted and sunken, and Mu Qing easily grasped it in her hand.
Losing energy and power, the puppet suddenly became paralyzed.
Looking at the silver-white puppet held in Mu Qing's hand, Feng Qi decided to take it back to the Hupo Research Institute for research.
But just to be on the safe side, he decided to give the puppet a comprehensive checkup first.
Make sure there are no monitoring, listening, positioning, or even remote-controlled explosion equipment inside the puppet to prevent accidents.
Having experienced multiple timelines, he knows how cunning the latent forces in these fields are.
All actions must be based on stability.
"Sir Narrator, this puppet looks familiar to me." At this time, the black dragon who had been standing not far behind him suddenly said.
When he heard these words, his heart moved, and he immediately turned to look at the black dragon.
"Tell me what you learned."
"Sir Narrator, let me first introduce to you my origins. My people and I come from the second level of the Black Domain in the domain world. We belong to the low-level racial forces on the second level and make a living by mining resources to supply powerful clans."
"In our world on the second floor of the Black Domain, there are two extremely powerful racial forces. They occupy the east and west sides of the second floor of the Black Domain respectively, and both want to embezzle each other's territorial resources, so these two forces have been at war all year round.
, our Black Snake clan is loyal to one of the racial forces."
"To tell you the truth, I was once a member of the cannon fodder group and was sent to the frontline combat zone, and barely survived. On the battlefield, I saw powerful racial forces that were hostile to us. Their appearance characteristics were very obvious, and they had silver
Long white hair and eyes."
"In addition, they have many ways to deal with the enemy. They are generally good at using a silver-white long bow to kill targets from a distance. Some tribesmen are good at driving away beasts, and some even use musical instruments to carry out mental attacks, including manipulation.
A puppet warlock similar to the silver-white puppet just now."
After hearing Heilong's explanation, Feng Qi immediately asked out of curiosity:
"What's the name of that racial force?"
"Silver Moon Clan!"
Hearing this name, Feng Qi's pupils suddenly contracted.
The name Silver Moon Clan is not unfamiliar to him at all.
The first powerful field forces he learned about were not the shadow forces behind the Science and Technology Research Institute, nor the Lord of the Mist, nor the psionic tribe.
It's the Silver Moon clan that Black Dragon calls.
In the world 1500 years in the future, the reason why Suction Cup loses consciousness and becomes dementia is also related to the Silver Moon Field.
In the normal historical line, the Silver Moon Field once invaded Star City.
At that time, most of Star City's forces were dispatched to Future City to help fight, and the situation at that time was very critical.
Facing the crisis of Star City's destruction, luckily someone took action.
She single-handedly resisted the attack of the Silver Moon Domain, and finally withstood the attack of the Silver Moon Clan.
But this battle can only be described as a miserable victory.
After the battle, the scarlet crystal embedded in the sucker's body shattered, and the sucker lost consciousness and could only act driven by instinct.
The sucker inherited the scarlet spar left by Mu Qing at her peak. At that time, Mu Qing was already able to kill disaster-level domain monsters. Even if the effect of the second embedding of the scarlet spar would be weakened, the sucker's combat power was definitely not weak.
.
The answer to this can be found 1500 years later.
1500 years later, the scarlet crystal on the sucker's body has been completely broken, but his fighting power is still extremely terrifying, and he can even fight with Xiao Hei for a while.
This shows how powerful the Silver Moon Clan was at that time.
Thinking of this, new questions arise.
He discovered that the Silver Moon Clan appeared at the wrong time.
In the normal historical line, the time when the Silver Moon Clan appeared was at the end of the Dawn Army's demise, not at this point in time.
But when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly understood.
He felt that the Silver Moon tribe should have sent their tribesmen to the human world in advance.
Similar cases include Xiao Can and his clan members.
Xiao Can also sent some tribesmen to enter the human world first, and relied on the vanguard troops to collect resources in the human world.
What's even more tragic is that while the Xiaochan clan members were collecting resources, they also sent back the flesh and blood sacrifice technique.
As a result, the moment they arrived in the human world, Xiaochan and his tribe were harvested by a wave of old fans, and they collectively became the flesh and blood sacrifices of old fans.
He suspected that all old fans were probably confused at the time.
Now that I think about it, Lao Fan is really a template for a protagonist, and things like blessings from heaven will really happen to him.
Therefore, it is understandable that the Silver Moon Clan sent the Pioneer Clan ahead of time to explore the way to the human world.
But what he didn't expect was that the Silver Moon clan members were already lurking in Star City.
He has never discovered their existence in multiple timelines.
Thinking of this, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.
The existence of the Silver Moon Clan must be a hidden danger, but he does not intend to waste time with the Silver Moon Clan now.
The Silver Moon Realm has not yet arrived, and the current Silver Moon Clan is simply unable to make waves.
This era does not belong to the Silver Moon Clan.
At the time when they appeared on the stage of history, he had been dead for who knows how many years.
He still has to focus his energy on the Science and Technology Research Institute in Future City. As for the information related to the Silver Moon Clan, leave it to him in other timelines to investigate and solve it.
This battle line unites the major forces, and it is inevitable to plan the future direction from an overall perspective.
The current Silver Moon tribe is obviously not qualified enough.
What's more, Black Dragon only said that the silver puppet looked like a war weapon of the Silver Moon clan, but could not give a definite guarantee.
Thinking of this, he looked at the black dragon and said:
"Go back. If you receive any news about the Silver Moon Clan, please inform me at any time."
"Yes." Black Dragon bowed his head respectfully, then jumped down from the top of the building.
After the black dragon left, Feng Qi turned to look at the metal puppet held by Mu Qing with one hand, then took out his cell phone and dialed Dean Hu Po's number.
He decided to ask Hu Po to send staff to conduct an inspection on the metal puppet outside.
After the preliminary inspection confirms that there are no problems, it will be sent back to Hupo Research Institute for detailed inspection.
"let's go."
"Yeah!" Mu Qing immediately nodded obediently.
Taking a step forward, Feng Qi's figure fell straight from the air. Upon seeing this, Mu Qing immediately jumped down.
The body is falling rapidly, and the game is switched to the natural ability.
At this moment, his telekinesis came out of his body and wrapped around his whole body. His body immediately hovered in the air, and then he used his telekinesis to catch Mu Qing who fell down.
In the blink of an eye, he carried Mu Qing and flew towards the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
…
Five months later.
Hupo Research Institute, training room.
After waking up the screen, Feng Qi began to check the latest inquiries.
The first is the content of the email.
The email contains the latest information from our own forces, as well as the training status of the military headquarters and field battle groups.
What he is more concerned about is the development of "Breaking Dawn".
Some time ago, the new energy line was connected to the super virtual factory outside Star City, and the number of virtual game warehouses produced every day began to increase significantly.
According to the survey report, the share of "Breaking Dawn" in major universities has reached 30%. At the same time, virtual game rooms have been opened in various areas of Star City and have begun small-scale operations.
In other words, the next step of the super virtual game can be launched.
The virtual game warehouse quota competition between various schools in Star City can be started in advance.
In response, Fengqi looks forward to it.
The purpose of choosing to release the super virtual game on this battle line is to quickly improve Star City's comprehensive strength in all aspects, especially in terms of combat power.
The purpose of holding the quota competition is to stimulate the competitive spirit of the students in the school.
Fierce competition can also significantly stimulate students' desire to improve their abilities.
These students will all become soldiers of the Dawn organization in the near future.
After reading the content of the email, Feng Qi clicked on the authority database and found the information about the layout competition left by the Scarlet Research Institute.
Start taking a closer look.
Among the Scarlet Research Institute's planning projects for the virtual competition, one project attracted his focus.
The name of this project is "Coaching Team Development".
The specific planning content is to create a unique coaching team to become the exclusive coaches for students and new warriors.
What surprised Feng Qi was the planned selection direction of the coaching team members...
…
One month later.
Star City East District, 11 p.m.
There was a continuous drizzle in the sky, and the East District of Star City shrouded in rain was still brightly lit even in the middle of the night.
On the way home, Xiaoyu, who was very drunk, stumbled over the trash can placed on the roadside, and then vomited.
The knocked down trash can now stretched out two mechanical claws, righted itself, and then began to clean up Xiaoyu's vomit.
Struggling to stand up while holding on to the smart trash can, Xiaoyu staggered a few steps and almost fell down again.
"Do you need help calling the rescue center?"
At this time, the smart trash can suddenly asked.
"No need." Xiao Yu refused fiercely, then took a step forward and fell to the ground again.
The fall was so strong that his right leg actually split horizontally at an irregular angle.
The trouser legs were torn due to the excessive range of motion, revealing the metallic prosthetic limbs.
"I think you might need help."
"No need!" Xiaoyu struggled to stand up again.
Looking down at her prosthetic limb, Xiaoyu felt a trace of self-deprecation on her face.
After so many years, I still haven't been able to come out.
The psychiatrist said this is called PTSD, also called post-traumatic stress disorder.
The symptom is that the painful experience on the front line will keep flashing through the mind and cannot be separated from it.
The moment she closed her eyes, the previous scenes reappeared in Xiaoyu's mind.
After graduating from Winter Academy, he joined the frontline supply area with his younger brother with hopes for a better future for mankind.
During his frontline career, he experienced too many tragic moments.
Life seems to fade away in an instant, and the brother who was joking with you just now suddenly leaves.
The tragic scenes kept flashing through his mind. Xiaoyu clenched her fists and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The scene of his younger brother being dismembered bit by bit by the domain monster seemed to be right in front of him.
Helpless cries shook his nerves.
"Ah!" While roaring, Xiaoyu punched the lamppost on the roadside.
The lamppost suddenly bent under his force, and the lightbulb began to flicker and become unstable.
[It has been detected that you are damaging public facilities, the compensation mechanism has been opened, and your identity information is being checked.]
At this time, the smart trash can on the roadside issued a warning, and then released a light aimed at Xiaoyu's face.
[It has been detected that your identity information is Xiaoyu, a retired frontline soldier. Since you are a recipient of the Medal of Outstanding Humanity, the fine is waived. We ask again if you need help. ]
"I said, no need!" Xiaoyu opened her red eyes and roared towards the smart trash can.
After saying that, he staggered towards home.
After so many years, he still couldn't get over that despair.
In the end, he was the only one who survived the field war group he formed.
In the fierce battle, his wife died in the battle, his brother died in the battle, and all his brothers died in the battle.
The only one who survived lost his legs and received prosthetic limbs.
When he woke up and learned all this, he was eager for revenge, wanted to return to the front line, and continue to fight until death.
But at this time he was told that he had to retire and could no longer go to the front line.
He questioned the staff of the Chapter Association that he had lost everything, so what was the point of living like this? It would be better to return to the front line and use his last strength.
In the face of his questioning, the staff of the Chapter Association did not respond, but silently arranged the discharge process for him.
After being sent back to Star City, he wanted to return to the front line more than once.
But all applications were rejected.
He is already a disabled person, and it seems that there is no point in living like this.
He has dedicated his life to the front line, and his relatives have also died on the front line, but he has to live in the main city for the rest of his life.
This pain was unbearable for him.
He could only choose to drink to get by to numb his nerves.
But even when he was drunk, the experience on the front line was still vivid in his mind, lingering like a nightmare.
After staggering forward for dozens of meters, he held on to a lamppost on the side of the road and couldn't help but vomit again.
The honor of a soldier is to die in battle.
This sentence was said by his captain when he first entered the front line.
At the time, he thought this sentence was just for showing off, but now he truly feels the meaning behind it.
It would be better to die in battle if we were just living like this.
But thinking that the realm field that killed his relatives and brothers has not yet been dispelled, he couldn't help but feel hatred in his heart.
But he knew that he would never be able to return to the front line.
Even if he buys a ticket to fly to the front line, he will be forced to cancel it.
He knows this is his protection.
But he doesn't need this bullshit protection at all.
After continuing to stagger for a while, he suddenly found a shop he had never seen before at the corner of the street.
Arriving in front of the store, Xiaoyu looked up.
"Virtual game room?"
Even late at night, the store was still open, with a poster posted in front of the door.
There are several background pictures of the front lines on the poster, with words such as real simulated battles written on them.
Seeing these contents, a look of disdain appeared on Xiaoyu's face.
In his opinion, this is just a gimmick for game companies to make money.
Just as he was about to leave, a recruitment notice under the poster caught his attention.
[Veteran Recruitment]:
Recruit virtual combat coaches.
Preliminary requirements: Five years or more of frontline combat experience, and your own strength evaluation has reached: Silver·lower level and above.
Improvement requirements: Applicants are required to have strong combat qualities, strong practical skills and experience, and veterans with command experience will be given priority.
Disabled, injured, retired frontline warriors, and all those who meet the requirements can sign up.
Registration requirements: Enter "Breaking Dawn" and pass the virtual coaching trial assessment.
…
At the end of the recruitment notice, there is a line of text.
[Once the fire of faith is ignited, it will never be extinguished. Have you ever thought about setting sail again when you return to ordinary life? Come on, even if you no longer set foot on the frontline, your young face will carry your faith on the journey.
.]
【Veteran, welcome to join us!】
The last sentence of the recruitment notice inexplicably touched Xiaoyu's heart.
During the depressing years after he retired from the army, he thought of many ways to return to the front line, but they all failed.
So he found another way and wanted to become a school teacher to train future warriors.
Let them carry their faith and continue on the road to the front.
But after being seriously injured, his legs were broken, and his Dantian, which stores spiritual energy, was in a semi-dead state, and he couldn't teach actual combat at all.
If it comes to teaching theory, there are too many instructors in the school who are more suitable than him.
This road is impossible for a loser like him.
Looking at the text of the notice, the extinguished fire in my heart suddenly ignited a spark.
Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the glass door with a trembling body and entered the virtual game room.
The decoration of the virtual game room is black and blue, full of a sense of technology. There are twenty virtual game warehouses inside, each of which is separated from each other by opaque black glass.
More than half of the game warehouses have green lights on and are vacant and unused.
When I came to one of the glass doors, there was a price list posted on it, detailing how to use the virtual game warehouse and the usage fees.
The price is not high and is affordable to ordinary people. It only costs 15 per hour.
After reaching out and pressing the "on" button, the electronic synthesized sound sounded:
"Your identity has been confirmed and payment will be automatically deducted during use!"
The glass door opens at this time.
Seeing this, Xiaoyu stepped into the glass door.
Following the instructions, he changed his clothes, then activated the game chamber and got in.
After going through the naming process and the novice tutorial according to the process, Xiaoyu's figure appeared in the center of the virtual city.
Xiaoyu was immediately shocked by the real scene in front of her.
Regarding this virtual game, he just had the attitude of giving it a try, but he did not expect that the degree of simulation of this game has reached the level of almost completely simulating reality.
More importantly, his legs reappeared in the virtual world.
In disbelief, he subconsciously reached out and pinched his right leg.
The familiar pain feedback made his eyes turn red.
He suddenly realized the significance of the publisher of this game recruiting veterans.
This game is essentially not just a game, but a training ground.
Veterans have extremely strong actual combat abilities, but they have no choice but to retire due to injuries, disabilities and other reasons. However, in this game, the combat skills and experience they have honed can shine again.
While feeling excited, he followed the recruitment instructions and called up the function panel.
Pulling down the menu, he found "Coach Trial Task".
After clicking, a pop-up window appears.
[Should the coach recruitment trial be started?]
yes!
[Coach recruitment trial starts, Trial Task 1: Ranking mode reaches Diamond, and above rank evaluation, current rank: No rank]
Without hesitation, Xiaoyu decisively closed the page and opened the ranked matching mode.
…
Xiaoyu did not go offline for the next three days.
In just three days, he reached the diamond rank.
The winning rate reached a terrifying 94.8%.
Years of frontline command experience allow him to quickly formulate battle plans and lead the team to victory.
The individual's kill participation rate even accounts for more than 50% of the team's.
His excellent performance was even screenshotted and posted on the newly established "Breaking Dawn" discussion platform, becoming the subject of heated discussion among many players.
After completing the first level of trial, Xiaoyu accepted the second level of test.
This trial is designated to participate in a hundred-man level team battle ranking, and each battle is required to obtain command points of A level or above.
This is far more difficult than the first test.
The 100-player ranking match is full of variables. Players in the game have balanced data, and it is difficult to determine the outcome based on individuals.
Battlefield command ability is particularly important.
This time, Xiaoyu once again completed the assessment project with extremely eye-catching data.
Command points are always maintained at A-SS level.
After completing the two assessments, a pop-up window appeared in front of Xiaoyu's eyes.
[Entering the review stage, your information has been paid attention to, please wait for the phone notification!]
Seeing that she passed the preliminary review, Xiaoyu was excited.
But thinking of the rejections before this, a trace of loneliness appeared on his face.
This time, he was also not sure of success.
He called up the function menu and chose to quit the game after not being offline for several days.
As the game warehouse opened, the electronic sound of successful deduction sounded.
The surrounding holes begin to absorb nutrient solution.
After getting up and finishing dressing, Xiaoyu subconsciously took out her phone and took a look.
Since he was expecting and fearing failure, he couldn't help but sigh.
…
Hupo Research Institute.
training room.
Feng Qi sat in front of the screen and checked the content of the email.
At this time, a jumping new notification content appeared in the lower right corner.
After clicking on the jumping message, a pop-up window suddenly appeared, and what came into view was a photo of a man with a haggard face.
As he read through it, a smile appeared on Feng Qi's face.
Leader of the Anaconda Chapter, recipient of the Medal of Outstanding Contribution to Humanity, (former) Silver-level upper-level strength, and seven years of frontline command experience.
He didn't expect that the plan to form a virtual coaching team had just started and he had already recruited a general.
Data shows that Xiaoyu is disabled in reality.
But this problem is not a problem at all in Feng Qi's eyes.
What he values is Xiaoyu's ability.
In "Breaking Dawn", his abilities and consciousness can be taught to students and new warriors through actual combat in the training room.
These valuable practical skills are invaluable to "Breaking Dawn" and the construction of Star City's combat capabilities.
After reviewing Xiaoyu's detailed information, Feng Qi took out his cell phone.
…
In the dark room, there were a large number of cigarette butts lying on the floor.
Xiaoyu, with red eyes, kept smoking one cigarette after another, looking at the mobile phone placed on the table from time to time.
After years of decadence, "Breaking Dawn" ignited a flame of hope in his heart.
He really didn't want to miss it.
The sentence in the recruitment announcement, "Young faces will carry your faith on your journey," was full of lethality for him.
After taking a deep breath of cigarette, the sparks quickly spread backwards.
He exhaled a cloud of white mist with trembling hands, and his emotions seemed to fluctuate.
Just then, the phone suddenly rang.
He immediately picked up the phone very quickly and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, I am Xiao Li, staff member No. A011 of Star City Veterans Nursing Home. I checked the records and found that you have not had a physical examination for five months. Do you need to come to the hospital for physical examination and other monitoring items?
"In addition, your prosthetic limb has not been maintained for a long time. Do you need on-site help with maintenance and repair?"
"No need." Xiaoyu said solemnly.
"You can rest assured that all our services are free and you will not be charged any additional fees. As a recipient of the Medal of Distinction of Humanity, you can also enjoy additional benefits..."
Before the staff member on the other end could finish speaking, Xiao Yu forcibly hung up the phone.
He is indeed disabled.
He also knew that these were various support services provided by Star City to help retired veterans, with the purpose of allowing veterans to better adapt to life after retirement.
But he was very resistant to this feeling of being treated specially.
Just then, the phone rang again.
It’s never over!
After answering the phone, Xiaoyu, who was in a very bad mood, roared directly:
"Ah, what's the matter!"
Hearing the roar, Feng Qi on the other end of the phone was stunned.
As expected of a veteran who has retired from the front line, he answered the phone with great momentum and even roared at the beginning.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Feng Qi immediately spoke:
"Excuse me, is this veteran Xiaoyu?"
"I am!"
"I am the person in charge of recruiting the virtual coaching team. Do you have time to chat about your application to join the virtual coaching team?"
Xiaoyu, who was about to hang up the phone, heard the other party announce his identity, and was suddenly excited. He quickly threw away the cigarette in his hand, then grabbed the phone and put it to his ear and said eagerly:
"Yes, there must be, you can talk about anything you want!"
