"Fighting mice? I should be playing Project Stars, not fighting mice with Warhammer, right?"

"How difficult can it be to hit a mouse? Kenneth's knife can cut people so fast. Wouldn't it be enough to kill the mouse with two swipes?"

While the players were complaining, they saw the sullen NPC's mouth corners slowly raised, revealing a charming smile.

"You think hunting mice is easy, don't you?"

"That's good. If any damage occurs next, the ET points required for treatment will be doubled."

Just one sentence made all the players swallow their saliva - they remembered that the wind speed determines the height of the skirt, and it seems that 25 ET points were deducted before entering the medical cabin. Doubling this is 50 points. How many steel bars must be moved? Earn it back?

"The panel has also been updated. This is a serious task." The recycling air conditioner muttered in a low voice, pointed at the personal panel and read:

"[Recruit Trial]: This is a duel, defeat your opponent!"

Wu Que had already turned over and jumped onto the cockpit of the B550M. The tall mecha roared, and his heavy fists punched one end of the big iron box. The steel seal on top was immediately smashed down, along with the half of the iron box. The door also opened together.

"Then...begin your battle, soldiers!"

Under Wu Que's control, the mecha retreated to the side, leaving the field to the players. And the players immediately became nervous. Kenneth, the only one with a weapon, stood at the front. He stared at the dark hole, only to hear a sharp scream from inside, and then a huge gray object burst out of the iron box.

"I'm super, what a big rat!"

Just like the scanning result of ET7424, the gray rat was 2.3 meters long including its tail, as big as a gray leopard. Its scarlet eyes kept turning, and its sharp fangs were exposed. It looks extremely ferocious.

The squirrel locked in the iron box was obviously starving. When he saw the players in front of him, he immediately entered a violent fighting state. His short and powerful limbs suddenly exerted force towards Ken who was closest to him. Nice bumped into it.

Kenneth was not frightened by the size of the gray rat. The previous game was a fantasy game with countless large monsters. He calmly raised the scimitar in his hand, but as soon as he struck it, he secretly screamed that something was wrong——

The impact of this thing seems a bit strong!

His knife did hit the gray rat's face, and even got deeply into it. But the squirrel's attack had no intention of stopping because of this. Instead, it became more fierce because of this knife. With a wild scream, it slammed into Kenneth's body!

"boom!"

Kenneth felt like he was hit head-on by a dump truck. He flew up high and fell to the floor of the hall.

“Holy shit!!!”

Everyone exclaimed. They didn't expect that the fiercest Kenneth was not the enemy of this gray rat. Now that Kenneth was knocked away, wouldn't they be the ones who will be attacked by the rat next?

"Run separately, run separately!"

Captain Hamster saw that the gray rat was about to rush towards where the crowd was gathering, and quickly greeted him. Several people dispersed one after another, and Squirrel randomly picked a person and chased after him. The unlucky person chosen was Mammoth.

But the mammoth didn't panic much. He ran towards the wall. He heard that the gray rat seemed to be chasing behind him and jumped to one side suddenly. However, he heard a "boom" and the gray rat The rat's squeaking screams echoed in the hall again.

"It's too big, not that flexible, and it's hard to use your brain!" Kenneth stood up holding his stomach. The spot where the gray rat hit the wall happened to be where his knife was. The collision made the sharp knife sink deeper.

Kenneth didn't hesitate. He rushed forward and shouted: "Over there, help me attract attention!"

At this time, the one closest to the squirrel was Captain Hamster. Seeing that the squirrel was not actively aggressive due to pain, he boldly stepped forward and kicked the squirrel on its round belly.

The squirrel was in pain and was about to attack the hamster captain who attacked it again. At this time, Kenneth had already rushed to the side of its head, grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands, and made a downward stroke with force——

As blood spattered, the scimitar slid down and cut the gray rat's throat directly. The huge body suddenly fell to the ground, its limbs still twitching.

"This...killed?"

The players slowly approached the squirrel's body, no longer looking down upon in their eyes.

And the light screens on their wristbands also popped up messages at this time:

"[Recruit Trial]: Mission completed.

Mission reward: Basic fighting skills at the base·limited to new recruits. "

"Basic fighting skills, what is this?"

While the players were curious, Wu Que was also wondering: "ET7424, you still have such a good thing hidden and haven't taken it out?"

"No, it's just that the power generation room is unlocked, and the connected small training room is unlocked." ET7424 replied, "The small training room can provide a dummy, and the preloaded program on the dummy can provide basic combat training. If the player has Firearms, you can also practice shooting here.”

"Is there such a good thing? Bring it over quickly." Wu Que just regretted that there were not enough materials to unlock all the rooms in the base and quickly complete the body.

But now he has to face these confused players first.

"Well done." Wu Que walked up behind the players, "As a reward, you can get a feast of rat meat tonight - this is a rare meal on the waste planet."

"In addition, Soldier Kenneth..." He looked at Kenneth who was limping while holding his stomach. The latter suddenly became smart and shook his head repeatedly, "Executor, I'm fine, I don't need treatment!"

"Do you really not need treatment?" Wu Que asked doubtfully, "Suffering from the injury will affect your work efficiency."

"Really, there is really no need for treatment!" Kenneth yelled in his heart, joking for 50 ET points, whoever treats him is stupid.

"The power station has been unlocked, and a small training room has also been unlocked, where you can hone your skills." Wu Que explained, "I hope everyone will continue to focus on unlocking the base rooms and strive to make the base one of the top 100. 100% functioning state.”

"Yes, Lord Executor!"

Everyone responded in unison, watching Wu Que walk into the central control room, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have to say, this NPC has quite a sense of oppression. He has a poker face and reminds me of my former instructor."

"Yeah, especially when he said he wanted me to go for treatment, my heart almost jumped out of my chest." Kenneth was still a little scared and almost lost his 50 points.

Captain Hamster, who had been deep in thought, suddenly raised his head and said:

"Don't you think it's a bit strange that the NPC wants us to duel with this gray rat at this time?"
