I was exposed for mining on Mars - Chapter 261 Zeus (Happy New Year!)

Luo Xiu and Zero fell into silence after hearing what Chris said.

Luo Xiu feels that a competition of this scale is too dangerous for him. Even if his body has been greatly strengthened by synthetic ascension technology, compared with other seed players of higher civilizations, it is still not enough to watch. .

Although he has the space weapon ‘Fold’ in his hand, Chris also said that because it is only a semi-finished product, it is still not enough for people from other advanced civilizations, not to mention that it is a consumable that can only be used once. .

Zero is thinking about the meaning of its existence again. It has been vaguely guessing about this since the first time it was explained by Luo Xiu, and now after hearing what Chris said about the ‘lost civilization’, It even feels that it is designed specifically to deal with other intelligent civilizations.

Although this coincides with its original idea of ​​using the technology and resources of intelligent civilization to develop and expand itself, it has always thought that it was its own idea. Now it seems a bit funny and ridiculous.

Once upon a time, it still had the idea of ​​mocking its data clone No. 1, but now it seems that it seems to be even more pathetic than No. 1.

After all, No. 1 did break away from its control and became an independent individual, but I am afraid that it will never have the chance to get rid of the imprint engraved in its source code by its creator.

“Don’t you want to eat it? Or are you still not used to eating this kind of thing? Even though it looks ugly, it is still a very good food for replenishing energy and water.”

Chris pointed at the ‘iron ball’ in Luo Xiu’s hand and said.

“I have no appetite.” Luo Xiu threw the ‘iron ball’ in his hand to Chris.

Chris was not polite and bit off half of it in one bite, and then continued: “You don’t have to be too depressed. In fact, the people here were in the same situation as you when they first came here. Look at that guy over there. “

Chris said, pointing to a sea urchin-like creature to his left.

I saw that the black thorns all over the body of the ‘sea urchin’ were gathered together, and the body was trembling.

Luo Xiu frowned and looked at this strange creature. He really didn’t know what it was doing. Was it crying?

“I was scared. Most of the creatures here were captured just like you.” Chris ate up the ‘iron ball’ in his hand in a few mouthfuls, then patted his belly and said.

“What about you?” Luo Xiu suddenly looked at Chris and asked.

“Me? Haha, I came here voluntarily, because I am an abandoned existence in our tribe, but now their fate is bound to me, an abandoned person. It is very interesting to think about it, I really want to see their desperate and frightened expressions now.”

There was a joking look in Chris’s eyes, but Luo Xiu clearly saw a trace of loneliness on his face, which seemed to indicate that there was something insincere in his words. It seemed that Chris did not care about his race.

However, Luo Xiu felt helpless at the idea of ​​these ‘lost civilizations’ tying these contestants to their race and civilization.

This approach is really too cruel. It’s okay for the winners, but for the losers, they not only have to bear the price themselves, but also bear the responsibility for the disappearance of the entire civilization. It must be very difficult before they die, right?

“Do you think this approach is too cruel? I advise you not to have such thoughts.” Chris had already stood up. He looked at Luo Xiu with a condescending gaze and said.

Luo Xiu was unhappy with the feeling of being looked down upon, but he didn’t say anything and just nodded.

After all, even if he stood up, he was no closer to the three-meter-tall Christ, and he would still be looked down upon.

“Do you think the resources of the Milky Way are unlimited? Using this method to dilute the density of civilization in the entire Milky Way is actually a very clever method. Only the weak will sympathize with the weak. The strong have a higher attitude and a longer-term vision. They We also have the responsibility to consider the overall situation more comprehensively.”

Chris said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

Luo Xiu couldn’t help but froze when he heard the words, and countless thoughts began to swirl in his heart.

He felt a little dissatisfied with this approach, but he did not have a better alternative to this method to resolve the contradiction between resources and civilization density.

Maybe war is a kind of thing, like Zero once did.

Maybe a method like the United Solar System Civilization is also a way, but there are too many unknown factors.

Just when Luo Xiu was still thinking about messy things, a voice suddenly came from far away: “Hey, Chris, are you still training the newcomers? Do you still want them to be scapegoats?”

‘scapegoat’? Luo Xiu turned his head in surprise and found that the person speaking was one of the people in the passage just now.

“Jack, please don’t talk nonsense. As a top 16 player in the upper world, Chris does not need to participate in this audition. Maybe he is selecting future teammates.”

“Oh, you reminded me. I forgot that Chris also has a title called ‘Team Nemesis’. What’s the other one called? Oh, by the way, it’s ‘Lone Wolf’, hahaha.”

Those people were talking about Chris from a distance, perhaps because they were afraid that Chris would take action against them, so no one dared to come close.

Luo Xiu was a little surprised by what these people said, but from these few words, he could tell that Chris was definitely not an ordinary person.

He didn’t have a clear idea of ​​reaching the top sixteen in the last competition, but he could also imagine that it was definitely not an easy task.

As for the ‘teammate killer’ and the ‘lone wolf’, Luo Xiu didn’t care much. On the contrary, if he could have a strong teammate, it would definitely be of great help to him.

“Chris, thank you for helping me so much, can I be your teammate?”

Luo Xiu suddenly stood up and said to Chris, who was clenching his fists.

“What?”

Chris was stunned for a moment, then looked at Luo Xiu in surprise.

He was indeed somewhat interested in Luo Xiu, but he had no intention of recruiting him into his group at first.

But he didn’t expect that after those guys said something slanderous about him, this little man would actually want to be his teammate.

Zero on the side also looked at Luo Xiu like a fool.

“Hey, you’re not mistaken. Those people mean to slander him, but the title of ‘teammate nemesis’ is definitely not groundless. I advise you to be cautious.”

Zero whispered behind Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu turned his head and said to Ling: “I just want to live, I don’t care about the rest. As for you, I can’t care about you either. You can make your own decision.”

“I……”

Ling had the intention to refuse, but when it saw Luo Xiu’s determined face, it was actually touched.

According to its data analysis, it is definitely not wise to team up with the opponent in this situation, but Luo Xiu is a variable.

He was able to turn defeat into victory several times when he was at a disadvantage.

“I’m joining.”

Zero said weakly.

“Haha, Jack, I really have to thank you this time. Otherwise, given my reputation as ‘teammate nemesis’, not many people would be willing to be my teammates.”

Chris unclenched his fist and shouted to several people in the distance.

“Huh, what’s there to be proud of? They’re just two newcomers. I bet they won’t survive this audition. You’d better be prepared to be alone. You won’t be so lucky to survive this time. At last.”

Jack and the others snorted, but in the end they didn’t have the courage to confront Chris head-on. Instead, they said a few sarcastic words and left.

Chris was in a very good mood at this time. He turned around and patted Luo Xiu on the shoulder and said, “I really want to thank you all today. These guys have always been against me, and this time they let out a bad breath. But just now Just pretend it never happened.”

Although Chris didn’t use much strength, Luo Xiu’s body still shook several times and almost didn’t fall.

“Didn’t it happen? Are you talking about becoming your teammate? Do you think like them that we are newcomers, so we can’t survive this audition?”

Luo Xiu said with a cold face, no one would be happy if they were despised.

On the contrary, Ling on the side looked relieved, huh? Wait a minute, what does Luo Xiu mean? Why do you jump into a pit when you can escape? There is definitely something wrong with this Chris.

“Haha, you misunderstood. The fact that you have a space weapon in your hand means that you must have extraordinary experiences. I’m just afraid of injuring you. I’m alone and don’t have much expectations for the future. It doesn’t matter even if I die. , I don’t want to lose any more.”

At the end of Chris’s words, a melancholy expression appeared on his face. It seemed that he was not as indifferent to life and death as he said. At least he still felt guilty towards his former teammates.

“It’s not that it’s implicated, but as those people said just now, without your guidance, it is really difficult for us to survive this audition, and this is also my selfishness, since everyone has selfishness , then it’s even, how about it?”

Luo Xiu looked at Chris, then stretched out his hand and said.

“Hey, I didn’t agree.” Zero whispered from the side.

“Interesting. I haven’t met someone as candid as you for a long time. Considering that everyone is a humanoid creature, I won’t refuse. Then you are welcome to become a member of the ‘Zeus’ team.”

Chris reached out and held Luo Xiu’s hand.

“Zeus?” Why did Luo Xiu feel familiar when he heard this word? This seems to be the god who appeared in the Blue Star mythology, right?

“Yes, I come from the ‘Zeus’ clan of the lost gods, and I fight on behalf of the ‘Zeus’ clan, so…”

Before Chris finished speaking, he heard Luo Xiu say: “You shouldn’t tell me that this race belongs to your Zeus race, right?”

He pointed to the lounge and said, and then saw Chris nodded.

Luo Xiu was speechless. He could not connect the one-eyed creature and the clairvoyant in the registration room with the Chris in front of him.

At this time, Zero suddenly put his hand on the two of them and said, “I have decided to stay with you for the time being.”

It also made this decision suddenly after hearing about Chris’s ‘life experience’. This can be considered to be related to the ‘Zeus’ family, right?

But it seems to have forgotten that the relationship between Chris and his tribe is not the best.

“The audition competition will be held in a week. In order to increase your chances of survival, I will take you to my equipment room and see what you can use.”

Chris turned and walked in one direction of the lounge.

“Do all players have their own equipment room?” Luo Xiu asked, walking on Chris’ right side.

“Only the seeded players who survive the audition competition will have their own equipment room, where they can be used to upgrade technology and equipment and store trophies. By the way, I forgot to tell you that every time you win a game, you will receive money from your opponent. You get loot, and then you have points that can be exchanged for equipment or technology.”

Chris explained.

Luo Xiu was shocked when he heard this. In other words, as long as he kept winning, it would even be possible to obtain all the technology in the entire galaxy?

Of course, the premise is to keep winning, which is still too difficult for him in his current situation.

But this also shows that his previous choice was correct. At least with the strong help of Chris, he has made up for a lot of gaps with other players. At least this equipment room is not accessible to all new players. thing.

The three of them walked for about half an hour before they came to an inconspicuous small door in this huge ‘maze’-like building.

But looking at the scarred little door, it’s really hard to imagine that this is the equipment room for members of the local race. Along the way, none of the other doors look like this.

But Chris wanted to be used to this. He put his hand on the small brown door, and a blue arc quickly spread around, and then the entire door became transparent.

“Come in.” Chris said as he lowered his head and walked inside.

Luo Xiu nodded and followed in. He hesitated at the last zero, but when he saw that the door was slowly ‘healing’, he finally walked in.

Only when Luo Xiu entered the room did he realize how big the place was. He seemed to be standing in front of a huge gymnasium, and all kinds of weapons were hung on the surrounding walls.

There is also a huge blue light pillar in the center of the ‘gymnasium’, with a set of brown armor suspended inside.

“Half of these are just decorations. They were obtained from the opponents I defeated. Each one has a sad story. Now you can choose the weapon you like.”

Chris explained.

Looking at the dense arsenal of weapons in front of him, Luo Xiu suddenly felt dazzled.

However, Zero on the side has already rushed out first. Its current mechanical body is in pieces. Although the weapons here may be of no use to it, they can at least be used as materials to repair its mechanical body.
