The afterglow of driving a human-computer interactive combat device...referred to as a machine in a vision has not ended yet, and Seve has to face a new vision.
It's not that scary, because it was like this when he left the vision before and obtained electronic components, plates, and a backpack, even though the process was extremely fast, even instantaneous.
The gathered light will turn into physical objects, which is the reward given by the vision.
Ignoring the sound of Lycra in his ears for the moment, Seve tried hard to push away the boulder he was pressing on, letting it roll to the side with a dull sound, and he stood up.
As far as the eye can see, there are piles of rocks.
In the diffuse smoke and dust, bits and pieces of faint blue light are swimming and dissipating, and there are many light pillars above the head that are spreading and sweeping downward.
It's hard to say how many living people there are.
Reaching out and touching the halo, it immediately condensed toward the center and then expanded. This appearance made Seve a little curious about what the reward was... Laika said that there are various rewards for visions, and some special isolated cases can even be exchanged for a sum of money. Sky-high price.
For example, clothing that allows people to barely move around in the sun for a short period of time is taken out of the vision and modified to become a flagship product of a certain company.
Could it be that in this unexplored vision, there will be a magical creation that will allow me to make a fortune, pay off my debts, and live a free life?
A train that can repair itself, a machine that allows a mad driver to ride on it with crazy actions... No matter how you look at it, you can make a lot of money.
The light condensed and then suddenly dissipated, appearing in mid-air...
She is a black-haired girl with a ponytail.
She appeared unexpectedly, and the surprise on her fair cheeks turned into panic due to the attraction of gravity, and then she fell hard into the rubble.
Fortunately, she was wearing a work jacket and work clothes commonly worn by repair workers, so she would not be scratched by the gravel.
Seve quickly reached out and grabbed her collar, pulling her out of the stone debris. The two looked at each other... Strictly speaking, her little face, which was dirty due to dust, was confused and confused.
Cypher's protective mask allowed her to see her face clearly.
The girl's name is Lin Shenxue, and she is the 'senior mechanic' in the vision.
The good news is that she was calm and didn't let out any imaginary 'screams about being in a strange place' to mess things up.
Of course this was because she couldn't speak.
Cypher asked her to stand in the rubble. She quickly took out the tablet from her accustomed place, and then she was shocked to find that the thing was broken.
The cracks on the screen and the slightly curled appearance indicate that it has reached the end of its life.
Lin Shenxue was gesticulating to express herself - Saifu quickly signaled her to calm down: "Don't be anxious or nervous!"
"I don't know what the situation is now. Anyway, please take your time. I'll ask the acquaintances here about their situation, and don't go too far. This place is not safe right now."
Telling her not to run around, Cypher turned around and called Laika.
Behind him, Lin Shenxue was dusting off the loose coat, covering her nose and trying to figure out where she was... After all, in her memory, she was still heartbroken that her house was smashed just now.
"Laika, what is this thing that cannot be produced in the vision?"
"...Why do you suddenly ask this? Let me think about it, um..."
Laika paused and quickly answered: "Basically, you can get everything in the vision. Weapons, equipment, materials that don't belong to us, production tools, rare minerals..."
"In rare cases, some living bodies will be paid, such as Q Company, which currently monopolizes the protein supply of some node cities."
"They once received a cage of special-quality birds in a vision. After improvement and breeding, the canned and fried chicken they supplied are still very popular today."
Seifer looked at the translucent company logo on the UI in front of him and fell into silence.
It was an octagonal base with a huge LOGO consisting of the word 'Qin' in the middle.
"Let's... let's not discuss the fried chicken company first. I mean, are there any higher-level rewards? In terms of living bodies."
Laika's speed in flipping through information was unusual for ordinary people, and Seve sometimes even suspected that what was on the other end of the communication was a difference engine or something else.
"Unfortunately, ornamental animals, edible animals, plant specimens or seeds are extremely rare. In particular, the secret actions of many companies will not be recorded in the independent mercenary archives, so..."
Cypher thought for a while and said: "I understand, it needs to be verified. As for the fantasy journey, I will tell you after I settle down. The Red Crossbow communication is completed."
"...Okay, you must tell me, Red Crossbow."
After the communication ended, Seve turned back and shrugged to Lin Shenxue: "Bad news, Miss Lin Shenxue. Anyway, you calm down first, or I can help you calm down physically."
Lin Shenxue nodded.
"Welcome to Edge Node City. This will be your second hometown. The advantage is that you won't be hunted down by strange machine monsters. The disadvantage is... well, I don't have a clue to send you back at the moment."
Lin Shenxue opened her mouth, then found a stone and sat down dejectedly, burying her face in her legs, as if she had been greatly shocked.
Compared to her body that turned into steel, her endurance in all aspects seems to have been improved, Lin Shenxue is probably more unlucky... Speaking of which, is she now a vision reward?
If it is a reward, should it be sold for money?
Occasionally, his thoughts would wander. Cypher shook his head and threw these thoughts aside, and then received a communication call from the city management.
At this time, he quickly opened the scan and scanned the ruins below, and unexpectedly found... there were quite a few people who survived!
The worm crisis is over. Those things that came out of the ground either fell down with them and died, or squirmed back deeper into the ground.
Most of the people who fell down, including mercenaries, workers and collaborators, were scattered in the rubble with their hands and feet. After the initial confusion, everyone hurriedly took action again, trying to find themselves. teammates.
If I remember correctly, if everyone was pulled into the vision the moment they came down, then in theory they should all come back after coming out...right?
Instructing Lin Shenxue to keep quiet and briefly explaining the current situation to her, Seifer took her onto the rescue rope and quickly returned to the upper area.
When being investigated, he made it very clear what happened when he entered the vision. Of course, he only said that he was involved in the defense of the train.
Most of the mercenaries said so, so Seifer easily got through, which made the people who came to investigate lament his good luck while recording.
"Why do you say that?"
The investigator said nonchalantly: "Unfixed anomalies are dangerous in themselves. If you encounter fatal injuries in them, there is a high probability that you will be trapped inside."
"You're lucky that you didn't make any mistakes, so you came back. Look over there, the captain of the independent mercenary probably won't be able to sleep well today."
That team lost several new recruits, and if they want to quickly replenish their ranks...it's hard to say when they will be able to replace them.
After saying a few words, the investigators asked him if he had brought anything out of the vision. After receiving a negative answer, he was left to do whatever he wanted.
The collapsed area was huge, and everything was piled up at once. There was really no time to worry about these mercenaries who had arms and legs and could run and jump on their own.
Seifer waved to Lin Shenxue to follow. When the two took some time to return to the place where the mobile station was parked, Lin Shenxue's eyes widened.
Rather, after she entered the city, her beautiful emerald green eyes never stopped, looking at the buildings and busy people.
In a group of huge, super huge, and Big Mac-level vehicles, Seifer took her into his mobile station, which looked a little strange and seemed to only have the tractor front.
After closing the airtight door and confirming that the outside could not disturb the inside, he turned around and pressed the hatch lock button while Lin Shenxue looked curiously at the maintenance room.
'Du, click'
The hatch was locked and the red light turned on. Lin Shenxue turned around suddenly, and the curiosity in her eyes immediately turned into caution, vigilance, and panic.
However, just like she had a gun pointed at her head before, she could remain calm and silent, waiting for what Seve would say next.
"Very good, you are calm and don't scream like those mindless little girls. You are exactly what I need!"
Lin Shenxue rolled her eyes subconsciously.
Then he pointed at his throat, his mouth, and spread his hands.
"Don't worry about those details for now. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Seve, my internal call sign is T59, my mercenary name is Red Crossbow, and I am a free mercenary."
"Then, you are in an area called 'Vision', and we mercenaries will accept the commission..."
Cypher told her what he knew and deduced, and then made her understand how special he was in this world.
——Brought out from the vision, the only known intelligent creature that can communicate!
"If I lock you in a transparent glass house now and mark it as coming from a vision, maybe in just a month, I can become one of the richest people in Node City."
Making an inappropriate joke, Cypher motioned for her to follow him to the control room, where at least there was a place where text could be entered.
To be honest, Lin Shenxue is also the type of person he knows who can regain his composure the fastest, both before coming to this world and now.
In the control room, Seifer cleared the desktop of a console and asked Lin Shenxue if she could use this to communicate. However, she sighed silently, pointed to the words on the keyboard, and waved her hands, obviously not understanding.
Ah, this... Seve has never thought about why she can understand the words in this world and even communicate with Lin Shenxue. And the most outrageous thing is that she seems to understand other people's speech, but she just doesn't know how to write.
There was no other way, so Seve reached out for Lin Shenxue's broken tablet, asking her to calm down in the car and find someone to repair it herself, maybe it could be repaired.
At this point, Lin Shenxue could only nod, and suddenly gestured curiously, as if wondering why she still wore such protective clothing when entering the stronghold?
So Cypher took off his helmet and exposed the metal head.
"It's simple. You and I are not normal people."
