"The volume, energy output, capacitance, shield strength... have all increased, and the basic values have increased at least three times compared to before..."
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the data projected in front of him and felt quite satisfied.
"Huh? The maximum speed has been reduced so much?"
He suddenly noticed that in the speed column, the value displayed was 40,000 meters per second, which was a full 10,000 points less than before.
But after he thought about it, he understood.
Although the ship has been upgraded and its scale has become larger, it does not mean that its speed will increase accordingly.
On the contrary, as its size increases, its various maneuvers will decrease.
Not to mention that the previous Shuguang was a stealth special service ship and was already known for its speed.
Now after upgrading, although it still has the function of invisibility, its good speed has been banned.
Replaced with the ability to specialize in combat.
Speaking of which, this kind of battleship is more in line with what most people know.
He has abilities in all aspects, and is not particularly proficient in anything, but he is not partial to subjects either.
Zhang Xiaoman feels that as the size of the ship increases in the future, the functions it has will probably become more complete.
In the end, it might turn into a Titan that can freely roam the universe.
He didn't know what level of civilization Titan had, but the things produced by the system were quite strange.
Some of the accessories on these battleships look particularly high-tech, while others are very ordinary.
Take the Dawn as an example. The jump engine and some intelligent systems it has are almost at the level of a level 2 civilization.
But the anti-gravity engine and graviton reactor have reached around level 3.
Now that the stellar furnace suddenly appeared after the upgrade, the level is even higher.
However, many of the living facilities inside are only at the current stage of human beings. At most, they are only partially beyond the level, and cannot reach the level 2 civilization technology.
The entire ship feels like it has been pieced together.
Zhang Xiaoman himself is not very good at this aspect.
He speculated that maybe the level of civilization perceived by humans is not the real status quo of the universe at all, and is itself wrong.
It may also be that the thing produced by the system will appear in a more suitable way due to the influence of the original gang establishment order.
The Shuguang as it is now is almost perfect for Zhang Xiaoman.
If he had more advanced technology, he might be like Sun Mingsheng and others, unable to even get through the door of the spaceship.
…
Two weeks later, Eero.
This is a city called Hurghada, close to the Red Sea, and 200 kilometers south is the small town of Qiqituk where Zhannan once lived in seclusion.
Compared with the bad road conditions, sea transportation in Las Garibal is relatively good.
The most important thing is that there is an airport near the sea. Apart from the capital Cairo, this is one of the cities with the most developed transportation in Elo.
At the same time, as the capital of the Red Sea Province, a famous tourist attraction and a resort city, Hurghada's beach projects are also very developed.
You can see tourists from all over the country here, especially European and American tourists who love beach culture.
There are even many luxury hotels near the beach, making it hard to feel like you are in a country in Africa.
At this time, in front of a tavern on the beach of Dulce, a white couple wearing sunglasses was stopped outside by the security guard at the door.
The man spread his hands, looking in disbelief.
"Shet! I'm a tourist, I'm here to spend money, why don't you let me in! Be careful, I'll complain to your boss! Let him fire you!"
Next to him, the scantily clad female companion also had an unhappy expression.
In fact, here, the man's threat still carries a lot of weight.
Although the local tourism projects are pretty good, they are all the business of capitalists.
For ordinary local residents, life has not become much better.
The only difference is that the wages offered by hotels, restaurants and other places here are higher than those in other cities.
Being able to find a good job in one of those hotels is something that many people dream of.
Therefore, as long as a customer reveals something like a complaint, the waiters will bow their heads and admit their mistake.
No way, this is for life.
However, things didn't seem to develop as the man expected.
The two black bodyguards standing in front of the bar were completely unmoved and barely looked at them.
One of them just glanced at the two people slightly, and then said with a straight face:
"Sir, I'm sorry, this place is not open to the public."
The white man was surprised at the other party's pure English when he suddenly saw a group of five white-skinned guys approaching.
"Wildfire Tavern? It seems this is the place."
The leader was holding a mobile phone in his hand, as if he was comparing some information.
"Hey buddy, are you open today? We want to come in and have a couple of drinks."
The man raised his head and said to the two black bodyguards.
The black bodyguard looked at them, then stepped aside and let the five people in.
"Waltfa!"
When the man on the side saw this scene, he couldn't help but take off his sunglasses and cursed.
"Why can they go in!? Aren't you closed to the public! You have to give me an explanation!!"
"Sorry, they are members."
"Member!? Do you think I'm stupid? Those people just here are obviously here for the first time! You are discriminating! I want to go to the consulate, just wait for me!"
The man was furious.
The black bodyguard remained extremely calm, as if he didn't care at all about the threat to the person in front of him.
The man vented his anger, and suddenly his voice stopped as if he thought of something.
He looked at the female companion beside him, and then at the two big men. Thinking of the five men who had gone in before, he suddenly had a realization in his heart.
"Oh...I see, no wonder you don't let me in, it turns out your place is a gay bar!"
What he said was loud, causing several pedestrians passing by to stop.
At this moment, even the two black bodyguards who had always been as steady as a rock couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.
There is an urge to hit someone.
Fortunately, their professionalism allowed them to restrain their hands that were about to move, so they didn't bloom a bright flower on each other's face.
When the man saw them like this, he thought he had hit the mark, and immediately showed a proud look.
"Haha, even if you beg me to come in now, I won't even go!"
Some nearby residents had actually discovered the change of ownership before, and initially no one cared about it.
After all, it's just an inconspicuous little bar on the roadside, and no one usually pays much attention to it.
At most, there is only a small group of customers who often come here to spend money, but they find that this place is not open to the public.
Now, with the man making such a fuss, everyone onlookers became interested.
"It turns out this is a gay bar. I asked why it suddenly closed to the public after changing the owner recently."
"Yes, I was surprised at first. Every day there are big and thick men running in, but last time I wanted to go, I was stopped outside. They are all gay..."
"Tsk, tsk, what a pity for such a nice bar. I used to come here often, but now it seems that I don't have the guts to go in again..."
"..."
The whispers of passers-by sounded from time to time, making the two bodyguards guarding the door feel goosebumps all over their bodies.
It was in this atmosphere that Hu Peng and Xun You entered the room.
They couldn't figure out why everyone around them looked at them with such strange eyes.
"Gouzi, are we in the wrong place? Is this the bounty tavern we built?"
Hu Peng asked his friends around him with some uncertainty.
Xun You also had a baffled expression.
"That's right, Wildfire Tavern, the name has been changed."
As he spoke, he and Hu Peng came to the bar and asked one of the men who looked like a bartender:
"What's going on with those people outside? They're just standing there, why don't you go out and drive them away?"
The bartender was cleaning a glass.
At this time, I heard the two people asking questions. I glanced outside through the long corridor and the translucent door curtain, and then said in a nonchalant tone:
"Oh, they may be customers who want to come in for a drink. Recently, our place has changed its entrance. Many people thought it was an ordinary bar and wanted to come in, but they were stopped outside. There were so many It will cause a lot of trouble like now."
"Oh? Does this happen often?"
"It doesn't happen very often. After all, where the two brothers John and Cruise go, basically all problems are solved. Occasionally, there are one or two stubborn ones, but in the end they just get a beating and then leave obediently."
Hu Peng also asked aloud:
"If that's the case, how did the two people at the door tell the difference between ordinary customers and bounty hunters? Wouldn't they stop the wrong person?"
The bartender hung up the wine glass and replied:
"You're right, John and Cruise are both veteran hunters. If they hadn't lost a leg during a mission, they wouldn't be here to look at the gate now."
When Hu Peng and Hu Peng heard this, they both turned their heads and looked in the direction of the door in surprise. They did not expect that both of them were wearing prosthetic limbs.
"Don't worry, even if each loses a leg, they can still fight several of those so-called gangsters."
The bartender seemed to have guessed their doubts and explained casually.
"Don't worry, with them here, no one can sneak in. Those ordinary people and bounty hunters, they can tell with just one glance."
After he finished speaking, he stretched out two fingers and pointed at his own eyes, and then at Hu Peng and Xun You.
"My name is Paul, you two. I see it's your first time here too. How can I help? Are you planning to have a drink, accept a mission, or hand in a mission?"
After hearing what he said, Hu Peng immediately became interested and asked:
"Oh? Are there any tasks recently? Where should I check?"
Paul wiped his hands, then took out a large tablet computer from under the table and handed it to the two of them.
"This is a task recently released by our tavern. There are also some commissions from other employers. If you haven't registered yet, you can register first."
Hu Peng took the tablet and looked at it. He was familiar with the program inside.
After all, he found someone to make it, and he was considered half a developer.
Now, the interface of the mission hall is displayed on the tablet.
Most of them are tasks from the bounty tavern, and there are also private hires where some employers spend extra money to improve their ranking.
"Temporary mission: Class C, investigate anomalies in the sewers of Bali City, Gaul, reward 50,000."
"Temporary mission: D level, investigate the mutant beasts that appeared near the town of Qiqituk, reward 100,000."
"Temporary mission: Class C, investigate the mutant beasts that appeared in Hanson Park in the United States, bounty: 200,000."
"Long-term mission: Level A, turn in the body of the mutant beast. The bounty will fluctuate according to the strength and completeness of the mutant beast."
"..."
These are all tasks provided in the Wildfire Tavern. After clicking in, you can view detailed information about the content.
In addition, there are many private employment or organizational employment tasks, most of which are entrustments to protect and suppress bandits.
Of course, the style follows the usual standards of work of bounty hunters and will not issue tasks that violate local government laws.
This is also the difference between bounty hunters and mercenaries.
Mercenaries are the type who can do anything if given money.
Bounty hunters have a better bottom line and will not do anything outside the law.
Because this profession originated in Europe in the Middle Ages at that time, it was a group of people used to hunt down fugitives, and the word bounty is also the translated name.
In fact, according to the original meaning of the word at that time, only money received from employment through legitimate sources can be called "bounty".
Other gold coins obtained in violation of local laws are just ordinary rewards.
Without the word "bounty", naturally he is not a bounty hunter.
Therefore, many bounty hunters look down on mercenaries, and they hate it when others confuse them with mercenaries.
Now, the tavern established by the Wildfire Team provides a gathering place for this group of bounty hunters.
Of course, it is impossible for the few members of the Wildfire Team to achieve this. Behind them, there is the support of the huge organization of the Star Alliance.
At this time, an off-road vehicle suddenly stopped outside the tavern, and several burly men got out of the vehicle.
Two of them walked to the trunk and lifted a huge box out of it.
The appearance of these people made the crowd watching the excitement outside once again confirm the fact that this was a gay bar.
However, the big men obviously had no intention of staying at the door any longer. They picked up the boxes and walked straight into the Wildfire Tavern.
