[Star Ascension Mission: New Leaf City
Mission level: one star
Mission difficulty: S level
Mission Type: Single player
Mission mode: Guardian mode
Mission background: In 2274, chaos arose in Blue Star under the rule of Tiangong. As the largest port city along the coast, Xinye City involves the interests of all parties, a mixture of good and bad, and constant disputes.
Mission goal: Choose a martial arts gym in Wuhun Street to protect it so that it will not be forced to close. The time limit is two months]
In his personal space, Zhao Yan saw the content of his star-rising mission on the electronic screen.
The star-upgrading mission is definitely a single-player S-level task, and the difficulty is also among the top in S-level!
In addition, the mission world involved in star-raising missions is usually very grand, and the level of combat power in it is not limited to the star rating of the mission itself.
For example, in a one-star star promotion mission, players have a high probability of encountering strong men with two-star or even three-star combat power in the mission world.
"Gunfire" does this to allow players to have early access to higher-level worlds and opponents. If they cannot adapt, they will not survive long in the high-star mission world even if they succeed in rising stars.
But these are nothing to Zhao Yan.
Even if his current combat power does not reach four stars, it is almost the same. Facing a one-star star promotion mission, as long as he does not commit suicide, there is basically no chance of any accidents.
"Xinye City?"
Zhao Yan has already seen all the one-star S-level missions compiled by the Soaring Dragon Society in advance, and "New Leaf City" is not among them, so this may be a newly refreshed mission world.
"2274, the future world?"
Zhao Yan looked at the time written in the mission background. If he compared it with the time in the present world, then this mission was most likely to be in the future world, which gave him some expectations.
"The Sorrow of Shenzhou" can be regarded as a parallel world in the past. After experiencing the history of the 'past', Zhao Yan also wanted to see the scenery of the 'future'.
The equipment he chose to bring in were: tiger gun, nano-level body armor and Chinese badge.
Among them, the nano-level body armor is a new one directly given by Longteng Society, and the Chinese badge allows Zhao Yan to gain the favorability of Chinese people in any mission world where there are Chinese people, which helps him integrate into the mission world more conveniently.
The props he chose to bring in were: S-level (one-star) prop Iron Wolf Summoning Order X1, S-level (one-star) high-intensity miniature remote control bomb
Among them, Zhao Yan used the high-intensity miniature remote-controlled bombs once in the home world and found them very useful, so he asked for ten more from the Soaring Dragon Society.
As for the final signal jamming electromagnetic bombs, Zhao Yan thought they would be useful in some special situations, so he also asked the Soaring Dragon Society for ten of them.
After making all preparations, Zhao Yan chose to teleport into the mission world.
When Zhao Yan came to his senses, he had already appeared on a street.
Looking around, there are many tall buildings, people coming and going on the streets, and traffic flowing continuously.
At first glance, this is a bustling modern city. There are not maglev cars flying all over the sky or holographic stereoscopic projection advertisements everywhere as Zhao Yan imagined.
"Is it possible that the timeline of this world is further back and the technological level is similar to the current world?"
Such thoughts flashed through Zhao Yan's mind.
He was standing under a wooden doorway. The vermilion pillars, bright yellow beams, flying corners and double eaves were full of antique charm, which made him feel very friendly.
Looking up, there is a huge plaque on the gate, with three big characters - Wuhun Street - written on it with flying dragons and phoenixes.
This is the Wuhun Street mentioned in the mission.
Zhao Yan looked at the buildings inside, which were also full of ancient style and felt a bit like Chinatown abroad in the real world.
He stepped inside.
Different from the bustling street scene outside, there was not a single pedestrian on Wuhun Street, and all the martial arts schools that Zhao Yan passed along the way were closed and looked very depressed.
What really makes Zhao Yan feel amazing are the names of these martial arts schools:
STG three soldiers combined into one pavilion.
Heavy artillery military boxing.
Zero fighter empty hand flow.
Million Voltage Ship-killing Knife
"Are these really martial arts schools?"
The corner of Zhao Yan's mouth twitched, feeling that the painting style was wrong.
But this also made him more curious about the martial arts in this world.
After walking a few hundred meters, he stopped in front of a martial arts gym called 'Flying Sword'.
The door to this martial arts gym is open.
Zhao Yan stepped in and found no one at the front desk.
"Is there anyone?"
he shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man rushed out angrily:
"You still dare to come?!"
Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment when he saw this man.
The other party was wearing a white vest, and the two exposed arms were actually mechanical.
"Do the warriors in this world take the route of human body modification?"
Zhao Yan guessed in his heart.
"who are you?"
The young man who rushed out was stunned when he saw Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan wore a white casual jacket, black sweatpants and gray sneakers. He looked elegant, like a college student who was still studying.
The young man originally thought that someone was making trouble again, but when he saw Zhao Yanhou, he felt that Zhao Yanhou looked like this, and it wouldn't hurt even if he hit someone, so he didn't look like a bad person.
"Ale, don't be impulsive."
Another person walked out from the inner room. He was a middle-aged man with a calm temperament. He was wearing a blue gown, black cloth shoes, and a straight posture.
Zhao Yan noticed that the visitor's hands were silver-gray, full of metallic luster, and they had obviously been modified.
"Big Brother."
The young man known as A Le stepped aside to give up his position.
The man in green shirt looked Zhao Yan over and asked gently:
"Hello, what do you do for me?"
"I'm here to learn boxing."
Zhao Yan said with a smile.
Then he remembered the name of this martial arts school, so he added: "You can also learn swordsmanship."
"You want to learn to sword?!"
A Le looked at Zhao Yan in surprise.
The eldest brother, who has a calm temperament, also has a strange expression:
"Are you sure you want to learn the sword?"
Zhao Yan looked at him and asked, "Why, you don't accept students now?"
"you"
A Le was about to speak, but was stopped by his senior brother.
He looked at Zhao Yan: "Come in with me."
After saying that, he took Zhao Yan into the inner room.
Inside is a messy venue, with more than a dozen martial arts disciples standing or sitting.
These martial arts disciples all have traces of transformation on their bodies, and they all have injuries.
Some people's wounds are still bleeding, someone's mechanical arm is damaged, and parts are scattered on the floor.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the senior brother bringing Zhao Yan in.
"As you can see, we are encountering some difficult things now. If you come into contact with our martial arts gym now, you may be in danger, so I suggest you come back later."
The senior brother said to Zhao Yan sincerely.
Zhao Yan was not surprised by this.
This mission mode is 'Guardian Mode'. This mode usually allows players to protect the safety of someone in the mission world. The other party may encounter assassination or terrorist attacks.
The goal of Zhao Yan's mission this time is to require him to protect a martial arts gym, which is essentially the same as protecting a certain person.
"Master, can you tell me what the specific problem is?"
Zhao Yan asked.
The senior brother frowned slightly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, so you better not ask any more questions."
After that, let people see the guests off.
Under normal circumstances, it would take a lot of effort for Zhao Yan to gain the trust of the people in front of him and initially integrate into a martial arts gym, but he had an easier way.
"Are you Chinese?"
Zhao Yan asked.
The senior brother was startled and nodded.
Then Zhao Yan thought, and the Chinese badge was taken out from the equipment slot and appeared quietly in his trouser pocket.
This badge does not need to be seen to function directly.
The senior brother who had just frowned suddenly felt cordial to Zhao Yan. I don’t know why, but he immediately felt that the person in front of him was worthy of trust and respect!
This feeling is obviously ridiculous, but it is so natural.
"I am also Chinese, so I want to know more about this matter, maybe I can help."
Zhao Yan said with a smile.
With the help of the Chinese badge, the senior brother's perception of him had changed. He hesitated, took him into a reception room, and at the same time ordered someone to make tea.
When the tea was delivered, Zhao Yan picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The martial arts master named Qiao Minggui slowly said:
"When Xinye City was first established, this Wuhun Street existed. Like Xinye City, it has a history of nearly a hundred years. Wuhun Street has always had a rule. Who wants to open a new Wuhun Street here? To open a pavilion, you must stand up and accept the challenges of various sects. Only warriors who can pass three levels in a row are qualified to open a pavilion here and accept disciples.
Seven years ago, a master named Yan Maoyun came here with his son and wanted to open a martial arts gym. But Master Yan failed to pass the three levels and finally had to leave sadly. Unexpectedly, seven years later, Master Yan’s son would come to visit again. This time, instead of opening a martial arts gym, he wanted to demolish the entire Wuhun Street!
Master Yan's son is now working for the Tianhua Group. This time targeting Wuhun Street is not only his personal intention, but also the will of the Tianhua Group behind it. Before you came, the people from Tianhua Group had just left, and my junior brothers were injured by the other party's people. "
Qiao Minggui briefly told Zhao Yan the whole story.
"Tell me about Tianhua Group."
Zhao Yan said to Qiao Minggui.
He knew that the key to this mission was the Tianhua Group.
"You don't know Tianhua Group?"
Qiao Minggui was a little surprised.
"Yes, I just came to New Leaf City and I don't know many things."
"If you connect to my brain, I will send you the relevant information."
"Well, I don't have a brain."
Zhao Yan looked at Qiao Minggui awkwardly.
"You don't have a brain?!"
Qiao Minggui was even more surprised this time.
Zhao Yan felt that this emotion was probably the same as someone telling him that he didn't have a mobile phone.
"I see."
Qiao Minggui glanced at Zhao Yan and seemed to understand something. He suddenly stood up and said, "Wait for me."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the reception room.
A few minutes later, he held a pair of black, thick metal glasses and handed them to Zhao Yan:
"Then you use this first."
Zhao Yan took the glasses and felt a little heavy.
When worn on the eyes, the lenses in front of the eyes become electronic screens.
The interface and operation mode were very similar to the Explorer glasses Zhao Yan had used before, so he got started quickly.
"You have a new letter."
A message prompt appeared on Zhao Yan's interface.
This was obviously sent by Qiao Minggui, but Zhao Yan didn't see the other party operating any electronic supplies at all, he just sat there quietly, and the message was actually sent.
"It seems that the technological level of this world is indeed ahead of the current world."
Zhao Yan thought so, and then 'clicked' on the letter on the electronic screen.
It contains information about Tianhua Group, including text, pictures, and videos.
To put it simply, Tianhua Group is one of the strongest forces in New Leaf City. Its industry involves all aspects, mainly bionic prosthetics.
Tianhua Group's products sell well throughout Asia and China, and its influence is not limited to New Leaf City.
Zhao Yan looked at the various bionic prosthetics that appeared on the electronic screen and had a preliminary understanding of the world.
This is probably a cyberpunk style mission world.
"Master Qiao, can I use this to check some other information?"
Zhao Yan asked.
He wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about the world.
"sure."
Qiao Minggui nodded and said, "The ones you are using are old-fashioned smart glasses. Nowadays almost everyone uses smart glasses. If you want to use them, just take them."
Smart brains and smart glasses are probably the difference between smartphones and PHS?
Zhao Yan thought so, and then thanked Qiao Minggui.
Next, he used smart glasses to connect to the world's network and began to understand the history of this world:
Before 2012, the general trend was similar to that of the real world, with World War I, World War II, the Cold War, and world nuclear peace.
Starting in 2012, smart chips that can be connected to the brain have been available.
In 2020, the global penetration rate of brain chips will reach 30%. Studies have shown that human will can burst out with great power with the help of brain chips!
In 2024, modified human warriors using brain chips as their control centers will appear in various countries one after another.
In 2035, new warriors who have undergone human body modification have become the main force in the war.
In 2065, an organization called "Tiangong" declared war on the world, claiming to create a new world. Political leaders from various countries were assassinated one after another.
In 2068, it only took three years for the 'Tiangong' to show overwhelming power and win!
At this point, Blue Star no longer has the concept of a country. The four continents are divided into provinces, cities, towns and villages.
After roughly understanding the history of this world, Zhao Yan began to focus on understanding the so-called new warriors in this world:
Compared with the old-style warriors who worked hard to hone their bodies, form muscle memory, and practice various fighting skills in the past, the new-style warriors have only two cores:
One is to use the power of one's own magnetism with the help of brain chips.
The second is to constantly replace more powerful prosthetics.
The latter is easy to understand, and the former is a characteristic of this world.
With the popularity of brain chips, some gifted people have discovered that they can directly perceive and read electronic information from the outside world with the help of brain chips.
To put it simply, what humans can read and understand is their own language, but these people can directly 'read' electromagnetic waves!
And that's not even the most incredible thing.
As time goes by, some people's talents become more and more powerful. They can not only perceive and read electromagnetic waves, but can even directly manipulate and change electromagnetic waves!
Small enough to become the top hacker and easily hack into other systems.
It is so large that it can directly convert electromagnetic waves into light energy, electrical energy, and even nuclear energy!
This is a phenomenon that is difficult to explain with existing science. Because it is so incredible, people can only classify it as metaphysics:
The combination of human will and electromagnetic waves produces a special reaction, thus forming a brand new power.
The warriors in this world turn this power into the power of magnetism.
A powerful warrior, in addition to having a powerful prosthetic body, more importantly, must have a strong magnetic force.
"How interesting."
Zhao Yan took off his smart glasses and praised them.
Although he only had a preliminary understanding, he had already developed a strong interest and expectation in the power system of this world:
"What is the difference between the power of magnetism and the power of the mind? Is it a kind of the power of the mind?"
In addition, Zhao Yan also thought of one more thing:
"The power system of this world is perfectly suitable for human body transformation. If I can bring the complete practice method back, it may have a great impact on the present world."
There are only two apparent enhancement routes in the world of "Gunfire": genetic enhancement and human body modification.
Among them, human body modification is very strong in the early stage, but it is weak from the four-star level, and the gap will gradually be widened by genetically enhanced players.
So far, all five-star players in the world have taken the genetic enhancement route, and no player who has taken the human body modification route has been able to advance to five-star status.
Therefore, major organizations in today's world will clearly explain the pros and cons to newcomers from the beginning, and advise those potential newcomers not to take the human body modification route.
But judging from the power system in the world of "New Leaf City", human body modification can also have a promising future!
Among the information Zhao Yan found on the Internet, the most powerful transformation warrior is even comparable to a human-shaped nuclear bomb!
"Brother Zhao, now you should know the weight of Tianhua Group. I advise you not to wade into this muddy water."
Qiao Minggui said to Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan stood up, smiled and said to him: "Master Qiao, thank you for the glasses."
"You're welcome."
Qiao Minggui thought that Zhao Yan had listened to his words, so he got up and sent him out of the martial arts gym.
Walking out of the door of the 'Flying Sword' martial arts gym, Zhao Yan once again put on the smart glasses given to him by Qiao Minggui and turned on the 'panoramic mode'.
The next second, the whole world became different in his eyes:
The originally deserted Wuhun Street became lively. A three-dimensional video was played above each martial arts gym. Various lights and shadows intertwined together, making the entire Wuhun Street look colorful and gorgeous.
Zhao Yan looked up at the 'Flying Electric Sword' and saw a swordsman in white clothes standing on a skyscraper. With one hand pointing, a flying sword flashing with blue electric light fell from the sky, and then surrounded He flew in a circle quickly, leaving behind a large area of plasma, like a thunder pool.
While watching this three-dimensional image, matching sounds are played from the smart glasses.
"Awesome."
Zhao Yan sighed with emotion and looked at the images of the other martial arts halls one by one with great interest.
The entire Xinye City is almost like this. There are holographic three-dimensional advertisements everywhere. Those shops, shopping malls, parks, etc. that are obviously ordinary when viewed with the naked eye. If you use the 'panoramic mode' to view them, you will see completely A different scene.
Moreover, Qiao Minggui also told Zhao Yan that the smart glasses he uses only have 'panoramic mode'. If you use smart glasses, you can also choose 'immersion mode', which will make people feel immersed and more real!
In fact, smart brain is another name for brain chip, which has been integrated into people's lives in all aspects.
In this era, not having a smart brain is as inconvenient as not having a mobile phone in this world.
Zhao Yan walked out of Wuhun Street wearing smart glasses and was shocked by the 'gorgeous' scene outside.
Not only the surrounding buildings, but also the pedestrians and vehicles on the street have various light and shadow effects, and some even have their own BGM.
All this now is very consistent with Zhao Yan's expectations for the future world.
Suddenly, he felt a sense of hostility.
Turning around, he saw two men with black flames burning all over their bodies walking towards him, like evil spirits coming out of hell.
".Turn off panorama mode."
Zhao Yan commanded by voice.
The next second, everything in front of him returned to normal.
The two men walking towards him were wearing baseball uniforms and had tattoos on their bodies. One of them had his right arm modified and replaced with a robotic arm.
"Hey, where are you from?"
A man pointed at Zhao Yan and said very rudely:
"You're not allowed to come to this street again, you hear me?"
"Are you from Tianhua Group?"
Zhao Yan asked calmly.
"Fuck you"
brush--
Zhao Yan didn't let the other person finish what he said. He stepped forward and instantly crossed the distance of seven or eight meters. He pushed out with a light palm, making the other person fly more than ten meters and finally hit a telephone pole.
boom!
The telephone pole shook violently.
The man with the modified right arm was left with a horrified look on his face.
When Zhao Yan took a step, his brain chip immediately alerted him, giving him Zhao Yan's forward route and attack intention, as well as a response plan.
He also immediately handed over his body to the chip and algorithm, allowing his brain to control the movements of his robotic arm.
But Zhao Yan’s speed is too fast!
As soon as he raised his mechanical arm, Zhao Yan rushed in front of him and knocked his companion away.
"Is this a master?!"
Such thoughts flashed through his mind, and at the same time, the chip's own algorithm also gave new ways to deal with it.
So the robotic arm he raised began to sweep to the right with great momentum.
Snapped!
The sweeping mechanical arm stopped abruptly, and a white palm pressed on the black metal.
The algorithm immediately provided a response: increasing the output of the robotic arm.
But three seconds later, the robotic arm held down by Zhao Yan with one hand did not move at all.
The latest information the man received was that his arm had reached its maximum output.
"you"
He finally realized that he had hit a brick wall.
But no matter how you look at it, you can't connect the student-looking, quiet young man in front of you with a master.
"That's all?"
The other party said.
Looking a little disappointed.
PS: In fact, before I started this book, I wanted to write a book about cyber martial arts, but cyber is too niche, and I was worried about being out of the public eye, so I ended up writing this book.
But I have always been interested in cyber martial arts. This new copy can be regarded as a dream come true for me~ (End of this chapter)
