Constructing-Style Wizard - #458 - Chapter 454 444 Headquarters Reception

Somewhere on the outskirts of the Machto galaxy, the tranquil starry sky is as deep as ever, as if the eternal river of time embraces everything.

“If there were only three of us, I would definitely not come to this hellish place that Maher asked me to do.”

In the battlecruiser Sun Knight, Strawberry Juice sat in the driver’s seat and wandered around the outskirts of the Mach Soto system.

Behind her, her two companions were paying close attention to the radar and fire system control interface of the spacecraft, always paying attention to any changes on the display screen.

After hearing Strawberry Juice’s complaints, the two players echoed a few words.

“Strawberry Juice is absolutely right. Fortunately, there are other players participating in this task.” The female player who spoke was called “Cat Strip Flavored Cat Litter.”

Another female player named “Cat Litter Smell Cat Strips” said:

“I just don’t know which guild the players who also received this hidden mission belong to. If only they had agents in the Machsoto galaxy, our mission would be much easier.”

About half an hour ago, two sisters, Strawberry Juice and Cat Strips and Cat Litter, received a hidden mission from the Metal Manufacturing Group branch.

Before they set off, the NPC who issued the mission told them that in order to ensure that the mission went smoothly, the branch invited several other player teams to help.

The location where the three Strawberry Juices are at this time is the gathering place for the players.

When everyone is here, they will go deep into the Machso system to search for the whereabouts of the synthetic engineers.

The three people from Strawberry Juice set off early and were the first to arrive.

After they waited in place for about five minutes, three silver-gray spaceships arrived here through jump.

The spaceship piloted by Strawberry Juice is the Sun Knight battlecruiser, which has an appearance similar to a boomerang and has a silvery white surface.

The three silver-gray spaceships look like iron gears, with a heavy aura.

This is a vehicle equipped by the Metal Creation Group for senior pilots, called the Sliding Gear battleship.

Strawberry Juice recognized the origin of this kind of spaceship at a glance, and then whispered to her companions:

“It seems that the helpers the NPC has found are players who specialize in doing missions for the Metal Creation Group’s faction. Only players who specialize in improving the reputation of the Metal Creation Group can drive the battleship Sliding Gear.”

As soon as Strawberry Juice finished speaking, a Sliding Gear battleship sent a communication signal to Strawberry Juice’s spaceship.

Strawberry Juice pressed the answer button on the screen to start communication.

A scene on the other side’s ship appeared on the communication screen. The person responsible for communicating was the captain of that ship, a player wearing the uniform of a senior pilot of the Metal Creation Group.

This person glanced at the scene in the strawberry juice cabin and saw that three female players were participating in the mission, so he said with an elegant and polite smile:

“Hello, we are players who specialize in running group missions. The team name is ‘Metal Walker’. I am the captain, the Great Walker. Next to me are two deputy captains, the Second Walker and the Third Walker. Behind me are the Four Walker, The Five Elements…”

The figures on the communication screen generally introduced their team members.

After he finished speaking, Strawberry Juice introduced the three of them and then added each other as friends.

Another five minutes passed, and three more player teams arrived.

The spaceships piloted by these three player teams have different appearances and are not standard equipment for senior pilots of the Metal Creation Group.

As usual, Strawberry Juice added their captain as a friend and kept in touch at any time.

After everyone arrives, the mission interface refreshes and changes from the state of gathering the team to the state of starting action.

The information provided by the Metal Creation Group appears on the mission interface, emphasizing the dangers of this mission to players.

According to reliable information, about half a year ago, a cruise observation satellite of the Metal Creation Group lost contact while passing near the Mach Sotho galaxy.

The Metal Creation Group immediately sent a team of synthetic engineers to repair it.

Less than a month after setting off, contact with the maintenance team was lost.

In the following time, the group successively sent out three synthetic human search teams, but all of them disappeared, and no news was sent back.

The group suspected that they were star thieves in the Machsoto system, and robbed the cruise observation satellite and killed the synthetic engineer.

Therefore, the group specially invited undead people who are not afraid of death to go deep into the Mach Soto galaxy and inquire about the satellites.

As long as they find out the whereabouts of satellites or synthetic engineers, players can make a deal.

If you can bring back a satellite or a synthetic human’s main control chip, the mission reward will be at least doubled.

It’s been a month since the last synthetic search team disappeared.

Judging from the circulation speed of items in the Machto galaxy, high-end goods such as the synthetic human master control chip may have been installed in the electronic brain of a certain star thief boss.

If this is the case, players can’t pry open the head of the Star Thief boss and dig out the main control chip from inside…

Facing the information provided on the mission interface, the players had difficult, very difficult emotions to deal with.

However, considering the generous mission rewards, players still plan to try hard.

“Everyone, I have a suggestion.”

A player named Da Xingzhe said in the chat channel:

“If we break into the Mach Soto galaxy like this, it will probably be difficult to find the satellites and main control chips. So, we might as well change our thinking. For example, we pretend to be the group’s synthetic human search team to lure the star thieves in the Mach Soto galaxy. Attack us, then use the trick to follow them into their lair.”

The advice resonated.

Another player said:

“This is a good idea. The star thieves have dealt with three batches of synthetic human search teams, and they should have formed a fixed pattern of dividing the spoils. Who gets the synthetic human’s main control chip, who gets the synthetic human’s bionic nerve bundle, these are all fixed. Regularly. Once we confirm that the main control chips of the previous three synthetic human search teams have been stolen by those stars, then we can go directly to the door and make a deal with the other party, or simply rob. Anyway, the people in this galaxy They are all star thieves and are not protected by the Unification Bureau.”

“Who’s going to play the synth search team?” another asked.

Everyone looked at the great traveler.

Among the players at the scene, only the Great Walker team has the exclusive vehicles of the Metal Creation Group, and only they are the most suitable to play the role of the synthetic search team.

The great traveler said:

“I am willing to free up a sliding gear for the use of people who play the role of the synthetic search team. As for who will play the role of the synthetic search team, my suggestion is that there should be no part-time “Space Marine”, “Psychic” and other combat professions players come. Because the group’s synthetics generally command small drones in combat and will not go to the battlefield in person. Compared with players of combat professions, their physiques are more well-proportioned, and can even be said to be thin. “

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

DaWangZe is indeed the senior pilot of the Metal Creation Group, and his opponent’s level of attributes for the group’s synthesizers is definitely the highest among them all.

Following his advice, the guys began to screen for suitable candidates.

Three female players, Strawberry Juice, Cat Strips, and Cat Litter, were directly selected because they were slim, had no excess fat, and were very similar to synthetic humans.

In addition to the three of them, three other players who only work part-time in the production profession were selected.

A synthetic search team composed of six people boarded a Sliding Gear.

In order to play the role of a synthetic person well, they must learn the speaking tone and behavior style of a synthetic person.

In “reality”, these habits that take many years to form will waste a lot of time.

But this is a game world, and players can use brain chips to achieve quick results.

The Great Walker used his authority within the group to download the thinking and behavioral paradigm files of the synthetic human engineers, encapsulated them into brain chips, and gave them to Strawberry Juice and others for use.

After about an hour, everyone was ready.

Strawberry Juice and others mastered the behavior of synthetic humans and began to drive the spacecraft deep into the Machto galaxy.

The rest of the people dispersed and hid in various places on the edge of the galaxy to avoid alerting the enemy.

After receiving the signal from Strawberry Juice and others, they will launch a jump and go to support.

“Take a deep breath, take a deep breath. When we see the weird looks of the Star Thieves, we must not laugh out loud. We must keep our faces tight.”

Strawberry Juice puffed up her chest, took a few deep breaths, and encouraged each other with her companions.

The Machso galaxy is located on the edge of the Galaxy Star Territory, and is the most peripheral Xiong Xi within the territory of the Bureau.

The Mach-Soto galaxy is a paradise for star thieves, a hotbed of chaos and evil, and the old enemy of civilization and order.

Pure human beings only play a sparse and common role here. They only account for about 35% of the total population of this galaxy.

The remaining 65% are filled with hybrids of humans and machines, hybrids of humans and space creatures, sutures of humans and space monsters, and hybrids of humans and plants.

All biological forms that are unimaginable and unacceptable can be found in the Mach-Soto galaxy.

For example, there is a strange species called the “Horse Snake Man”. It is a chaotic creature that is a mixture of four genes: centaur, human-headed snake, walking grass and pure human. It is born with the limbs of a horse, the scales of a snake, and grass. Leaf-like hair and human features.

There are many, many weird species like this in the Mach Sotho galaxy. Don’t be surprised by their strange appearance.

Therefore, Strawberry Juice repeatedly warned his companions to pay attention to their expression management. Always remember that you are a synthetic being with no emotions, not a human being.

What Strawberry Juice didn’t know was that at the same time that their group was heading towards the Mach Soto Galaxy, the team led by the Great Traveler quietly left their posts and flew into the dangerous deep space outside the Mach Soto Galaxy.

The two Sliding Gear spacecraft turned on the silent cruise mode, and the optical camouflage and coating to hide radar signals were fully turned on, showing a stealth capability far beyond that of ordinary battleships.

On the spaceship, Great Walker and his teammates gathered around him said:

“Go and invite the NPCs in the cabin to come out.”

A young player got the order, turned around and ran into the corridor.

After a while, a gaunt and thin figure in black robe followed the little player into the cab.

The NPC lifted his hood, revealing a pale skull and empty black eye sockets. It was a skeleton with mysterious lines on its surface.

The great traveler carefully considered his tone and said with a slightly respectful expression:

“Dear Lord Dry Bones, I have arranged for several groups of undead to attract the attention of the star thieves for us. Now, you can safely and boldly guide us to the location of the vacuum bubble safe.”

The Great Traveler’s team actually had another mission on this trip, which was related to the skeleton in front of them called Lord Dry Bones.

Why did the Metal Creation Group arrange a cruise observation satellite to pass through the Mach-Sotto galaxy?

Yes, it was Lord Dry Bones who hired the Metal Creation Group to do this, and he was the financial backer behind the scenes.

According to him, more than a year ago, he hired the group to help him observe the signals transmitted by the vacuum bubble near the Mach-Sotor galaxy.

Once the signal appears, the group will mobilize satellites to take away the vacuum bubble safe that arrives in the area and hand it to the bones.

But now, the satellite is missing, and it is unknown whether the vacuum bubble transmission signal has appeared, let alone the vacuum bubble safe.

The anxious Master Dry Bones had no choice but to take action in person, found the group’s senior pilot, Great Walker, and issued employment instructions to the group.

When this instruction acts on the players, it naturally becomes a hidden mission.

The Great Walker had an idea, and secretly carried out Lord Bones’ hidden mission under the guise of helping the group search for satellites and synthetics.

Doing two tasks at the same time and earning double the task rewards, wouldn’t it be wonderful~~

The great traveler’s wishful thinking crackled, and Li Nuo heard it in other star fields.

In fact, as early as when the Great Walker’s spaceship approached Strawberry Juice, Li Nuo noticed the skeleton hidden on the ship.

That’s right, this Lord Withered Bones is a member of the Tomb Kings.

The aura of death on its body was strong and restrained. Although it was shrunk within the body with great efforts, it was still accurately captured by Li Nuo.

“Okay, okay, I knew that paying attention to the Strawberry Juice girl would definitely pay off. I didn’t expect someone from the Tomb King to show up here.”

Li Nuo stared at Lord Dry Bones on the magic screen, observed deeply, and made secret calculations.

The vacuum bubble safe mentioned by the Great Walker should be the one launched into the outer space by the vacuum bubble launcher below the Convergence City.

Withered Bones and Great Walker will definitely not be able to find this thing, because it was not launched near the Machsoto galaxy at all, but was launched close to Huangyu by the Assassination Angel.

As expected, for the next two-plus hours, Walker and Bones fish in the murky waters of the chaos players have created in the galaxy.

They turned on the high-power deep space scanner and scanned the Machto galaxy inside and out several times, but they could not find the space signal from the vacuum bubble safe.

A vacuum bag safe is not an ordinary shipping container, and its spatial signal is absolutely impossible to be hidden by any anti-detection device.

If the safe’s space signal cannot be found here in the Mach Sotho galaxy, it can only mean one thing:

This safe has long been moved by the star thieves to an unknown location!

“Damn star thief!”

After the taciturn Master Dry Bones came to a conclusion, he rarely spoke and scolded the Star Thief. It seemed that he put the blame on the Star Thief.

He turned his head, stared at the Great Walker with his dark eye sockets, and said in a depressed tone:

“All of you, get out of the cockpit. I’m going to use your ship’s computer to contact the Metal Creation Group.”

“Okay, sir.” DaWangzhe gave a few words to the players around him and led them out of the cab in stride.

After the hatch was closed, only bones were left in the cab.

The skeleton broke off the index finger of its right hand, took out the nail cap on the index finger, and inserted it into the slot of the spacecraft’s computer like a chip.

Three to five seconds later, the holographic screen popped up.

The screen image did not change the appearance of a human being, but spread like a tide, quickly filling the entire cab.

Countless numbers and lines swayed and flashed in the air, creating a vast ocean of virtual images around the withered bones.

The lines created by the holographic screen were controlled by invisible forces, forming a door in front of the withered bones.

The door opened, and an illusory white figure walked out.

Above the figure’s head, there is a line of words floating like the player’s character nickname:

Headquarters, Receptionist No. 7143. (End of chapter)
