Return to the shelter, day 2.
Mocha Cafe’s food delivery drone arrived on time.
A hearty breakfast can always fill you up with energy and awaken your vitality.
Take advantage of your free time. Wu Chen turned over the AE86 that was put up for sale for the first time, inside and out. It was easy to find a spare medical kit in the glove box in front of the passenger seat: a capsule, a tube of injection, a band-aid, a roll of gauze, a mask, and a pair of gloves.
Refer to the campus card, 2B pencil, and car keys that Wu Chen carries with him. There must be another use for the medical kit.
Bailiyan made an appointment with the player and his wife to visit the camp. Wu Chen had nothing to do and decided to go with him.
Transfer to the player couple's four-wing airship and merge into traffic. Zhi Nao has found the origin of the four-wing airship in the camp LAN, which is from the Star Wars story world: Emergency Firespeeder.
An emergency fire boat, also known as an emergency fire boat or fire boat, is a flying boat used to fight fires. The boat is equipped with anti-gravity generators and jet engines; it uses an "ablative cockpit" canopy that can be exposed to extremely high temperatures for a short period of time. After dismantling fire-extinguishing facilities such as police lights, ultra-high-pitched sirens, and sirens, it was transformed into a civilian four-wing residential airship by the player couple.
Because the player bases gather in the camp, it is similar to the Broken City and has its own high-dimensional space-time attributes. In short, camp space-time is also folded. Coupled with the three-dimensional stacking of floating flat bases, the entire camp extends in all directions and is extremely huge.
Fortunately, Wu Chen's brain had already arranged the trip in advance. Otherwise, the four of us would be looking for a needle in a haystack because they were not familiar with the place. Especially the floating flat panels, which are assembled layer by layer and stacked up and down. Form a vertical "Sky Street Matrix". It can be compared to the multi-layer deck of a spaceship. From top to bottom, there are hundreds of layers, and the density is far higher than that of a skyscraper.
They are both camp players. Tablet sizes vary. This one like Wu Chen is just a basic model. Various medium and large tablets, comparable in size to starships. The functional modules it carries are staggering. So in the Broken Traveler camp, there are farmers, ranchers, fishery owners, and garbage dump owners, all of them. Without leaving home, you can fend for yourself and be self-sufficient.
The so-called "nothing changes without departing from the origin". As the "carrier of memory", all players who successfully reach the Broken City must try their best to continue their own exclusive branch plot lines. Trying to survive and risking one's life.
"Where to go?" Baili Yan asked with a smile.
"Camp Talent Trading Market." This was the first place recommended by Zhinao Ai to Wu Chen.
"Hire plot characters?" Bailiyan asked again.
"Let's take a look first." Wu Chen was not in a hurry. After all, supporting yourself is the main prerequisite. The first pot of gold is less than 300 coins. Roughly calculated based on the tablet base's daily consumption of one coin, it can last for several months. Enough for Wu Chen to find a way of survival that suits him. It's best to be self-employed and self-reliant. Ask yourself, Wu Chen doesn’t want to work for a big player.
Lifestyle players are also good. However, asylum coins cannot be redeemed without trading with players. Referring to the rules of the Reaper, only by harvesting the plot can you grab a large amount. In particular, "using players' own branch plots to intervene in the main plot will bring the greatest profit."
Of course, harvesting players is also possible.
In the past, the world of Asylum was thriving. Players don’t need to deliberately gather together, they can be obtained in all the worlds (story worlds). Nowadays, except for a few big lord-level players, most players have been shattered along with the sanctuary. Even VIPs are reduced to no different than novices. They can only bring their exclusive shelter to pieces and crowd into the Broken City, just to seize a "cone place".
Legend has it, the one who started it all. It is the super villain, Wu Chen.
It's a pity, except for the lord-level players who retain most of their memories. Most VIP players no longer have this memory.
It is also said that by upgrading files, it may be possible to partially recover the lost shelter memories of VIP players.
As Wu Chen saw at this time, the Broken Traveler camp where low-end VIP players gathered was made up of flat bases, spliced left and right, staggered up and down, and assembled into giant stacked cubes in the air. From a distance, it looks like an endless mosaic sky, while up close, it seems like you are in a huge 3D pixel puzzle. Various vehicles from different sci-fi story worlds shuttle around. There are also numerous drone groups forming a dense matrix. Like a flock of black birds, walking through the alloy jungle. A gust of wind turns east, and another swarm turns west, erratic. Various neon strips, LCD screens, and holographic images are used to fill the limited space. Following the trajectory of the laser, the images sometimes intertwined and overlapped, sometimes differentiated themselves; sometimes they were hit by a swarm of drones taking a shortcut, causing interference and fragmentation before slowly merging together, creating a gorgeous and psychedelic scene.
They lined up to float on the track and merged into the crowded traffic. The four-winged sojourner airship is small and unnoticed. The route has already been set. After turning left and right at the floating hub and going up and down vertically, Wu Chen and his team safely arrived at the F-011A section of the forging workshop, the Broken Traveler Camp, and the talent trading market.
As everyone walked off the drop-off deck, the welcome drone greeted them with smiles. When entering the camp, the digital DNA of Wu Chen and others had already been recorded. There is no mistaking the identity. There are only a few players in the trading floor. Most of the dish-shaped service desks of different sizes are manned by robots. Judging from the appearance, it is only slightly better than Thunderbolt 5. Far less pleasing to the eye than a simulated robot. Since it can replace simulated robots, its only advantage must be that it is cheap.
Everyone wandered aimlessly. Passing by one of the service desks, Bailiyan called softly: "T800."
"T850, naked version." The service robot with a titanium alloy frame nodded and said: "Good day, distinguished guests (VIPs). How can I help you?"
"Uh..." Wu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any recommendations?"
"Please tell me the keywords." T800 needs to search the database.
Wu Chen thought for a while: "Easy to use, reliable in performance, easy to maintain, cost-effective, and not easily damaged. That's all."
Every time Wu Chen said a word, T850's pair of scarlet electronic eyes would flash instantly.
After Wu Chen finished speaking, T850 opened the alloy vault embedded in his chest and took out a talent card: "Bionic Robot (General Service Type)".
The talent card presented to Wu Chen seemed to be collaged from pieces of old film footage. Divided into upper and lower sections. The upper section is a huge half-length still photo. Approximately four-fifths of the entire card. The lower section is a collage of a normal-sized film strip, totaling seven frames. In the first two pictures, the first is a working photo of the bionic robot, and the second is a close-up of the face. There are five pictures left, the first three have white backgrounds, and the last two have gold borders. The entire talent card seems to be very old. The unique exposure remnants of old film can be seen everywhere on the card. Moreover, the traces of collage are obvious, and the workmanship is really good, which I cannot praise.
Wu Chen took a closer look at the women and working conditions in the film, and determined that they were occupations such as bar hostesses. In terms of his identity, he must be an unknown plot character.
"What do you mean?" Wu Chen was confused.
"The VIP doesn't remember the card?" T850 asked.
"The Card Game." Wu Chen blurted out. This is the memory of Die Wu’s fire injection in dormitory 208.
"As you said." T850 smiled: "The few assistants that Broken City can recruit are all in the cards."
"Fragments!" Wu Chen had an idea.
"Fragments." In order to complete this deal, T850 is rapidly reading the database: "Since the dimension upgrade failed, Sanctuary was shattered. Players have rescued themselves. With the help of the Sanctuary Brotherhood's exclusive card "Feng Yun Hui", the plot fragments were sealed into cards. Card. As you can see, this 'two-star card' is the plot character who was saved from fragmentation by the Brotherhood. Therefore, 'the card is a fragment, and the fragments are equal to the card'."
"That's it." Wu Chen couldn't help but be moved.
"Based on Sanctuary rules, "cards are a unique way for story characters to be remembered by Guardians." "It's rare that the opening is about to happen, so T850 is working even harder.
"Looking at the card, it seems like it's just a service-oriented bionic." Baili Yan bargained for Wu Chen: "It's not very useful."
"Comes with the 'Broken Traveler Universal Database Elite Edition'." T850 was already prepared: "As you know, just by writing to the corresponding database, the service robot can turn into a professional killer in seconds."
"How many asylum coins?" Wu Chen asked casually.
"Thank you for the reward of 80 coins. As you know, the market price of two-star cards is as high as 100 coins." T850's expression became more and more respectful.
"I think it's the depreciation price." Bailiyan still felt it was too expensive.
Refer to the entry fee of 1 coin and the tablet fee of 10 coins. An ordinary unknown plot character card actually costs 80 coins. How expensive.
"How can you tell it's a two-star card?" Wu Chen asked first.
"Dear guests, please look at the feature column at the bottom of the card. There are two pictures showing both stars." T850 took the trouble. The so-called "feature bar" is a film strip with a total of seven frames. There are stills displayed in the first and second frames. There are 5 photo frames left at the back, none of which show any images. So how many frames are developed, how many stars?
"What is the characteristic of the first one?" Wu Chen asked again.
"My understanding is that they specialize in hospitality." T850 replied.
"Where's the second close-up of the face?" Bailiyan asked.
"My understanding is that she is a top-notch beauty." T850 replied again.
"Appearance counts as a characteristic?" Bailiyan was puzzled.
Before Wu Chen could answer, the male player said loudly: "Forget it!"
