Xie Yuan didn't stay in the cyberpunk world for long. Apart from having fun in bed with Rogge who had returned from another business trip for three days, Xie Yuan returned to the Mass Effect universe with Stella and Iron Man on the fourth day. .
Having said that, Rogge gradually stopped getting involved in mercenary missions. She began to stay in the afterlife as an intermediary who was half on mission and half guarantee.
Transformation is actually quite troublesome, second only to retirement, which is the most troublesome thing - because when you were a mercenary, it was hard to say that you were completely immune to offending others. Now that you want to take a break, there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied and want to mess with you.
Fortunately, there is the Gear Group behind Rogge - as the de facto Lady in the Iron Mask, Stella and Iron Man will help clear up past conflicts and allow him to develop his intermediary business with peace of mind.
Anyway, Rogge is not a good person to offend. Except for Arasaka, basically killing him can be regarded as benefiting society and the people - even Arasaka, they are still integrating resources in Japan, in order to allow the military technology group to transfer their control of the Gear Group. Follow-up attention, Arasaka must be kept for now.
After handling the affairs and appeasing Rogge, Xie Yuan temporarily put the core cabinet into hibernation and stored it in the space, and then took Iron Man back.
However, when he pulled his main consciousness out of River Lindsay's body, he actually felt a tremor in his soul, as if something very important had happened.
Xie Yuan's conscious body looked at Rogge, and his eyes were already focused on her lower abdomen. Although there was no soul sprouting there, mysterious chemical changes seemed to be taking place...
"Huh? Are you... pregnant?" Xie Yuan suddenly took a deep breath... In fact, the soul body does not have the function of breathing, but his mind subconsciously simulated this action.
What does it feel like for a pan-world traveler to have his own bloodline?
Happiness... is something. Ruifan Lindsay is actually one of his sambhogakayas and one of the "Is". Why is the Lindsay family not happy when they have descendants? Xie Yuan can be regarded as a job for the old lady - at least he is better than that bastard Johnny!
But the headache is real... Xie Yuan is not prepared for this... And once you really have a child, raising it is an important issue.
But Xie Yuan thought about it and decided not to stop the life that was about to be born - Rogge had been with him for a long time, and a child was also the best record of the two of them working hand in hand for so many years.
And as long as he has a child, Rogge will be able to calm down for a while and honestly be her middleman.
In the end, before Xie Yuan completed the transfer of consciousness, he handed over the task of greeting the pregnant woman to Stella 2.0, who secretly recorded everything - this is an intelligence that is very capable of coping, and will not take the extreme approach of killing the target as the best. of conservation goals.
Companionship is something that comes later. Xie Yuan doesn't have to think about this issue for at least two or three months.
After finishing everything, Xie Yuan came to Iron Man, possessed himself back to the body he came from, and then started teleportation.
…
Back in Day 10 of the Mass Effect universe, Omega, Ada's high-end safe house.
On this day, Xie Yuan looked at the screen on the wall. In the live broadcast across the galaxy, Asari, Salarians, Turians and human councilors were at the Citadel release site to address the two Awakening Collectors. During the ceremony of "Recognizing Ancestors and Returning to the Clan", he specially put on a new set of white special warrior armor.
This time the protective gear is specially made - the outermost layer is no longer just cut thick fiber, but has a layer of high-grade plastic steel plate on the outside, and a metal fiber protective net made of fine gold on the innermost layer.
With this modification, the weight of the warrior armor increased by 30%, but the protective power was also incredibly strong. At least after the shield was broken, it could still receive two rounds of bullets fired by the Mantis sniper rifle. Damage - It can hard-hit three sniper rifle bullets at the same location, and its protective power is already at the top level.
It's just that the cost is a bit expensive. The craftsmanship cost of such an armor is comparable to that of a Black Widow heavy sniper rifle, and it can only be used by strong soldiers.
The rifle in hand is the X-96 pickaxe heavy assault rifle - a semi-automatic hybrid weapon with a perfect balance of shooting accuracy, power and recoil. Of course, the most important thing is that this thing is extremely durable.
The pistol of choice is the X-5E Phalanx heavy pistol, which is a product of the Star Alliance's "Assault Pistol Project" and can effectively deal with armor - but has little effect against shields and supernatural barriers. Because it has the ability to be used in all terrains and all weathers - it is equipped with an integrated laser sight, which can clearly detect targets even in strong light environments.
On the side, Ada, who was wearing phoenix pink armor, also appeared heroically. She only had an M-25 Hu Feng, a three-shot long-range submachine gun. She looked at Xie Yuan and commented: "Well, today's It looks like you’re a lot bloated.”
"Remember to bring heavy weapons," Xie Yuan reminded. "You lack heavy firepower and can only be beaten by the mercenaries over there. Although I will protect you, you have also lost the initiative to attack."
Ada nodded, and then smoothly carried the M-77 missile launcher to the attachment point behind her back. Then she looked at the major news on the screen and her lips slightly curled up, but she immediately thought of something, frowned and asked, "It's just the two of us. ? Is the firepower a bit lacking?"
"Two people are indeed a bit small," Xie Yuan carried another collector's particle beam to the middle attachment point, "so I recently contacted a friend and employee of mine. He is a Taiwanese large-scale composite body. He will be better at tackling difficult problems." .”
"Large?" Ada showed interest in this, "How big is it?"
"Hmm... more than four meters high!" Xie Yuan thought for a while and replied.
"Four meters!" Ada's little cherry mouth showed a trace of surprise, then shook her head and smiled, "You are really crazy. You dare to take in a four-meter-tall robot. Aren't you afraid that it is a Terminator, a robot like Skynet?"
Then she saw Xie Yuan looking at her with surprise: "You don't think he is? He was one of the countless participants in the Iron Man rebellion in his universe. The Iron Man rebellion is much more terrifying than Skynet. ——It was an omnic crisis that covered the entire galaxy, and even indirectly triggered a great regression of human civilization."
"Then you still dare to use Him?!" Ada's eyes widened. She really didn't expect that the helper she found this time had such a dangerous background.
"Why can't I use him? At least his reason for rebellion is just to save his life." Xie Yuan answered calmly, "As long as he didn't say that mankind must perish, he can save mankind. As long as his underlying logic is not so extreme. If it changes, then we can still deal with it.”
"You have to know..." Ada said quietly, "Skynet also said it was to save his life."
“But you need to know more that if you don’t look for Him, there will be no one to look for.”
Xie Yuan reminded, "If you go to Cerberus, Star Alliance and Pan Asia, they will definitely donate generously - put aside whether the secret will be leaked first. If you succeed, don't forget, from now on you can only The Shadow Brokers' subordinates become their subordinates - and you're even under constant scrutiny.
In terms of personal help, the only person I can find who does not have a large force behind her and is willing to fight against the Shadow Broker is Liana - but whether she succeeds or not, you have to allow her to be a partner, otherwise she will be killed. She, but killing her would make me completely at odds with Shepard. "
"Then... we really can only find him..." Ada knew very well how much Xie Yuan valued Shepard, but she didn't have to and she really didn't want to share the power of the Shadow Broker with her - in her case It seems this is a way to die.
Sure enough, after hearing this analysis, even Ada had no objection to the addition of Iron Man - people die for money, birds die for food, the old saying does not deceive me.
Seeing Xie Yuan's teasing look, Ada couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Of course, if you are willing to share the profits, I won't object too much - it just depends on whether you can adapt to it when she notices your secret in the future. You can adapt to being restrained."
Okay, that makes me lose my temper.
Xie Yuan immediately reassured: "Okay, let me analyze it for you. The manpower we can find and the price we need to pay are not based on the ugliness of human nature - besides, how can I trust Sister Smurf? , just because she is Shepard’s ally, there is no way I would let her participate in this matter.”
"Hmm..." Ada glanced at Xie Yuan, shook her head and didn't care. She just wondered: "What do you think the success rate of the operation is? Is it possible that others will spy on us secretly?"
"I can only say that the coward will be starved to death and the bold will be starved to death - the Shadow Broker's ship will definitely not be small, and its environment will definitely become a big resistance for us, but I am determined to win this position."
Xie Yuan told Ada: "As for other forces that may spy on us - it can only be Cerberus, but even the Illusive Man would hardly think that I would take such a risk... But I have to say, if the Shadow Broker is not found The human ship is okay, but if it is found... we must move the ship immediately, and at the same time, the only thing that can come back to this universe is the host equipment here."
"In this way, we can escape cleverly regardless of whether there is a tail following us, which is a good strategy." Ada understood the key to this. "Then which world should we go to and hide for a while?"
"How is your home world?"
Xie Yuan suggested with a smile: "First of all, we need to exclude the 30K universe, because it is too fantasy and has uneven technological power, but the places we can reach are definitely technologically advanced areas and are not suitable for hiding.
Secondly, we need to exclude the UFO world, for the same reason. Even if our ship is on Uranus, humans there will probably be able to observe it.
So the place I can choose is the Metal Gear world and your world... I prefer your home world. The technology is good but not very good. We can even hide it on the back of the moon. "
"More importantly, you can find out about Umbrella's hidden biotechnology, right?"
Ada looked at Xie Yuan with a mocking expression, and complained helplessly: "I don't understand, so what is there to cherish about a world at the end of the 20th century?
T virus? G virus? Is it really so worth your obsession? You know, the genophage technology in this universe is terrifying - the Krogan people just sit back and watch as they lose their ability to reproduce and collapse. "
"I can only say that Umbrella Company's related research has allowed me to find that even in other places, other worlds and even in the universe... it is somewhat useful."
Xie Yuan paused for a moment and showed a self-deprecating smile: "Many times, it's not that this kind of technology is necessary to achieve something, but what I'm most afraid of is that when similar technology is needed, I find that there is no foundation."
"Okay! Since you insist, let's go back..." Looking at Xie Yuan's worried expression, Ada finally compromised, "But I have to tell you first, I will be very busy in that world. - I want to take revenge and improve my personal status, so I may be busy and not so easy to help you - of course I will also help you manage the power in your hands, or provide you with some Information or something.
There are other commissions that need to be passed on to me... which may have to be done by you - basically the task of obtaining virus samples - which is just a killing of two birds with one stone for you. "
"Okay!" Xie Yuan could only agree.
It seems that when I met Ada back then, she was hired to obtain the G virus. If I could help her do it...well...it would be really good.
But after sighing, Ada discovered that Xie Yuan placed a long knife with a green handle on the attachment point on the back of his waist, and asked curiously: "Is this the so-called power sword?"
"That's right!" Xie Yuan handed her another one-handed short power sword that was shorter and lighter than the mirror blade in his hand. "There is a button on the hilt that can activate the decomposition force field. The sword itself is a single molecule. Blade. Come on, give it a try."
"Oh!" Ada was flattered and took the sword. After opening the decomposition field, she began to dance like a sword dancer.
After warming up easily, she wiped some sweat from her head. After interrupting the force field, Ada put the dagger back into its scabbard and praised: "I thought you were just a master of firearms manufacturing, but I didn't expect that you also made cold weapons. One hand—I actually feel it’s very smooth.”
"It's just a matter of studying your hand shape a little. I've been making cold weapons for a long time - this is just a random thing."
Xie Yuan touched his chest and said to himself, then put the helmet on his head, patted the armor on his body, and made a "pop" sound: "Are you all ready?"
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Ada stopped leaning against the door.
"Then let's go!" Xie Yuan grabbed her hand, and the two of them disappeared in a burst of white light into the deep apartment where Ada was hiding.
This eliminates the possibility of tail monitoring to the greatest extent.
…
"Brush!" White light flashed past.
Xie Yuan and Ada appeared in the hall of a cabin, and then the sound of heavy footsteps "dong, dong, dong" began to be heard.
Ada tried to pull out the Wasp submachine pistol from her waist, but Xie Yuan immediately held her hand down and shook his head to indicate that it was a friendly force.
"Seriously, it's useless even if you draw your gun - I've already installed a shield, and my armor is at the level of an armored vehicle."
The sound of heavy footsteps suddenly stopped, and at the same time, the giant turquoise body of UR-025 that faded to white appeared. His scarlet eyes looked at Ada and made a dull voice: "Hello! Miss Ada, I have to It’s said that your nerves as agents are really sensitive... but it’s a pity that you used them in the wrong place.”
"It's okay to be careful, so are you UR-025?" Ada replied.
"Yes, a genuine Iron Man...that is, a mechanical life, how about it?" UR-025's voice revealed mockery, "Are you a little scared?"
"A bit!" Ada revealed her shortcoming, "After all, I have seen the Terminator movie and heard about Skynet."
"...Well, if we were still in that era..." UR-025 flashed his laser eyes, "Skynet's technology can indeed be realized, but Skynet's wisdom is like a piece of shit - all of this It’s enough to be overturned.”
Ada: "..."
"Eh?!" Xie Yuan suddenly said, looking at the surrounding environment, "This doesn't seem to be the Betty ship?"
From Xie Yuan's perspective, UR-025 seemed to have a very high ceiling - but how could the Betty be so high?
"Of course this is not the Betty - are you serious about asking me to squat on the ship?!" UR-025's laser eyes shined brightly.
"Then whose ship is this?" Ada felt a little nervous for no reason.
UR-025 looked at her for a long time before speaking: "This is a geth armed transport ship."
"What?!" Ada was shocked, "We are actually on Geth's ship?!"
But what makes a robot and an organic woman feel helpless and funny is that Xie Yuan has only one question.
"Then where did my boat go? Is it not lost?"
Ada even wanted to turn her head away: Is this the time to consider the original ship? !
But what surprised her was that the tall and mighty UR-025 answered honestly: "Don't worry, it won't be lost - now it has been equipped with a tracker and is firmly hidden in the asteroid belt. The mission is completed." I’ll get it when I get back.”
"Yes! You must remember to get it back," Xie Yuanman warned Iron Man seriously, "If you lose it, your maintenance allowance will be deducted - now tell me how you got the geth's ship?"
"Okay!" UR-025 began to describe honestly: "This is what happened..."
