Valentine had a very scary dream.
He dreamed that he was lying on the ground and being violently attacked by a giant earth-yellow dragon. The dragon was singing while it was attacking.
"The night is getting cooler, and the flowers are falling to the ground and turning into frost~"
"You look from afar and consume all the twilight~"
…
Absolutely.
Valentine lay on the ground bursting into tears. It's okay for the dragon to bully him. It's just because I don't have the ability to beat him, but it's too much for you to insult me with my hometown's songs.
And why is there an accompaniment on the side? Listen to this bleak flute sound and this sad pipa sound, which makes Valentine feel extremely aggrieved.
etc.
Why does this dragon sing the songs of Earth?
And there is actually noise in this accompaniment? Can't you just change the speakers to a better one? Are any of the subwoofers from a certain store with free shipping better than this? !
Valentine wiped his tears with his hands and turned over on the ground. He looked up and saw that there was no earth-yellow dragon, only an endless black sky and land.
"What the hell is this place... hell? Did I get punched to death by Ceria?" He stood up and brushed off the dirt on his body, looked around, and a familiar feeling came to his heart.
here……
It was exactly the same place where his consciousness came after injecting the key not long ago.
The sky was black, as was the ground, as if the entire space had been soaked in ink, and there was a refreshing fragrance in the air, which reminded Valentine of Fengyoujing. The ground was clean and flat, with no fluctuations visible in his field of vision. Overall, it looked like the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, except that the color was reversed and turned black.
In this absolutely flat, windless and quiet black space, a thin line shines with a faint white light in the far distance. Valentine himself also emits a faint light like that line, illuminating his surroundings. A range of several meters.
The short Vaifan man moved slowly in the black world, looking around with curiosity.
If this was the hell of the Terra world, Valentin felt that he could still accept the fact that he died just after crossing over. At least, there was no torture here, only tranquility except for him.
It would be better if there were others...
"This is not hell, it is your spiritual space." A neutral electronic sound echoed in the black space. Valentine recognized this voice, it was the system that suddenly appeared in his mind after traveling through time.
"Besides, there are indeed others."
"look up."
Hearing this, Valentine raised his head, and what he saw was the sky as black and pure as the ground, and the blue light shining in the black...
Flying dragon.
Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and dragons roared like thunder. The pair of broad wings composed of countless electric currents were tumbling in the air, which made Valentine see it in a daze.
"This is the spirit behind you, the flying dragon you just saw. The 'key' brings not only pain, but also a visible increase in strength."
The electronic sound appeared in Valentine's ears again, a little louder than before. It sounded like the system was standing next to him and looking up at the dragon.
"It's a pity that a dragon with such a majestic momentum is not aggressive at all." The system lamented: "You should also feel it. That thunderstorm did not cause any harm to Ceria."
"If your Origin Stone skills are stronger and you can feel her physical condition, you can even see that your lightning heals Ceria's nervous system that was slightly damaged due to overwork."
"..."
Valentine didn't know what to say.
The protagonist encountered a big BOSS just after leaving the novice village. He exhausted all his strength and fired a big blow, but it did no damage at all and also added blood to the opponent.
This is outrageous.
"System, come out. I think we need to have a good talk." Valentin was stunned for two seconds, accepting the setting of this mental space and the fact that he had defeated the enemy, and decided to take care of the most important thing.
For example, calmly talk to the system about how to get yourself out of this hellish place without any output ability.
After chatting, PK with the real person in the system.
"This is why I appear." The system's voice was a little louder, and Valentine even heard a sense of pride in it.
"Also, don't even think about real-person PK. Although I can't do that, I can indeed erase it with just a little computing power..."
Erase the host?
Valentine was not surprised.
The system is the tool given to the protagonist in the early stages of the novel. It can handle all kinds of weird settings. It is normal to have stronger abilities. Isn’t it easy to kill a person?
"This planet you exist on."
"..."
Not only can this system read minds, it's also incredibly powerful.
Valentin took a few deep breaths to calm down and asked: "Then why did your system choose me if you are so powerful? Are you using me for anything?"
It’s strange to say that in the system flow novels that Valentin once read, those systems select a host and release tasks for the host to complete with a very purposeful purpose, allowing the host to continuously become stronger and constantly change the results of certain events to achieve interference. The purpose of the world line, but his system has not given him a mission since it appeared. As for props, it gave him a Lenz bow for revenge. Moreover, his revenge plan failed and there was no punishment. .
Oh no, there is still punishment. Valentin was a little scared just thinking about Ceria's punch.
"Because you and the original owner of this body died at the same time, you provide the soul, and he provides the body, just right. As for what I want you to do...don't you want to know why there is no mission? In fact, there is Yes, you can take a look, but I don’t think you can finish it now.”
Task panel...?
Valentin muttered something, and sure enough, a blue translucent panel appeared in front of him. There was only one task on it, and Valentin glanced at it and felt that the system was teasing him.
It is indeed a mission that cannot be completed at this stage... I don't think I can complete this task until I die! Saving the world of Terra!
And what’s the reward for this mission? A wish? Do you have a vest called Aladdin's Lamp on Earth?
Valentin closed the task panel with a look of despair.
"Don't be so sad. I didn't say that those special props and abilities can only be obtained through missions. The boss gave me this mission. I have to figure out how to complete it. I can't follow the old routine." The system began to comfort a certain little dragon man who had turned into black and white.
"Is your boss called Raven? Is it followed by a series of numbers?" Valentin twitched the corner of his mouth.
"No, that's how the characters in the novel could appear in reality." The system rejected Valentine's unrealistic idea. "In addition, don't think too much about where I come from and what force I belong to. You won't understand even if I say it. This is not information that your civilization level can understand. You just need to complete your mission. OK?"
"I will... try my best." Valentin replied without confidence.
According to the original settings in the game, the guys in Rhode Island are the ones most likely to save the world, but why is there a system asking me to do such a thing? Are you asking me to join Rhode Island? The key is that I can't even get out of the Rhine Life in this state, so why bother joining Rhode Island?
"Don't worry about this, I will help you escape." The system no longer waited for Valentine to reply and directly read his mind to communicate with him.
"How can you help me? Give me a Lenz bow and rush to deliver it?" Valentin rolled his eyes. "But speaking of it, the power of the Lenz bow is too small. The explosion range is only three or four meters. I remember the original range was eight meters, right?"
"But the aftermath of the explosion is quite wide... There was no such setting in the original game."
"That's because the laws of this world exclude it. The laws are hard to explain. The most intuitive impact is the changes after things that are not from this world come to this world, such as the Lenz bow I gave you. If It would be too perverted to bring it over as it is. With an eight-meter freezing range, a six-meter explosion range, and its own ammunition conversion, how can a weapon in this world still survive? So I reduced its power a little, so that this world can Tolerate it.”
"And if props in the virtual world appear in the real world, they must abide by the rules of the real world. The Lenz Bow in the game has not been made to show the impact of the explosion on the external environment. As long as you leave the six-meter explosion range, even if it is attached If you stay on the side, you won't be harmed."
"But reality doesn't work, so there was a majestic explosion aftermath... Although it shattered the glass, it was still not enough for Ceria."
The system was silent for a while. Valentine didn't understand the rules at all, but he still listened to some of the words: "So you reduced its explosion range and power?"
"The bullets were also cut, so that only Source Stone can be used to generate energy arrows."
Wasted.
The weapon Lenz bow is considered useless in this world.
Valentine lamented silently.
"So even if you gave me a desperate attack that day, I still wouldn't be able to penetrate Ceria's armor, right?"
"It might be possible if it's a Watcher Prime with a golden chamber prime and a 3+ magazine-reducing purple card, but the dead end p is really not feasible."
Grass.
Originally, Valentine thought that he could use warframe's heaven-defying armor and weapons to be unparalleled in this world, but now it seems that there is basically no chance.
"Then how do I get out..." Valentine lost his color again and entered a salty state.
"The ability has been reduced, but it doesn't mean it can't be used, right? Besides, I'm not a stupid system that only gives you the game ability of warframe." The system's voice contained a slight smile.
"And why do you think I gave you a Lenz bow that couldn't defeat Seria?"
"If it's not for me to kill that bastard, what's the purpose?"
Valentine's salted fish turned over and continued to salt it.
"Move your little head and think about it. If I gave you the Watcher Prime I just mentioned, can you really beat Ceria? Can you escape?"
The air seemed to condense, and Valentine felt like he had been lightly knocked on the head by something.
"This... really can't be done."
Valentine, who was lying on the ground, frowned and began to deduce hypotheses.
I am just an ordinary college student, I have not experienced any military training, and I only know a general movement when aiming and shooting. If the system throws a real firearm at him, he might not even know how to turn on the safety.
In this case, you have no chance of escaping unless you get that super-easy-to-use nirvana. Moreover, during the daytime experiment, it was the working hours of the Ministry of Defense. Almost all the employees of the Ministry of Defense were waiting in this underground facility. Even if I could kill Andrea and Ceria, it would be difficult for me to escape. If you are caught, you may be detained even more seriously, and you will completely lose the chance to escape.
And that Lenz bow...
"The Lenz Bow explosion destroyed most of the laboratory's facilities. Other laboratories have been occupied, and the 'Isis Project' can only be put on hold temporarily."
Valentine raised his head.
"Now, you will no longer be forced into the laboratory by that guy, and you will have ample preparation time to plan how to escape."
"Really?" He jumped up from the ground and looked at the darkness in front of him with joy.
After suffering for so many days, he finally had the chance to leave here.
"New abilities are in place, and the enemy's tense nerves are beginning to relax. You don't need to be afraid of the dark..."
With the increasingly profound sound, the shadow of the world twisted and jumped, wrapping around Valentine's legs. They went all the way up, tightly wrapping the thin Vaifan man, and finally covering his eyes.
Darkness finally fell, and all that was left was the lifeless electronic sound.
"The time has come for the great feast."
--------Preparation--------
When he opened his eyes, what he saw was the small lamp beside the bed that emitted a soft yellow light. Valentine sat up and felt a pain in his body. He lifted up the hem of his clothes, but there was no congestion in his lower abdomen.
Coupled with the shelving of the "Isis Project", these two things are probably the most gratifying things for him since he came to this world.
"Vaifan's body is resistant to beatings..." Valentin sighed softly.
"But, what will the new ability be?" He raised his hands and looked at it carefully, then looked at his body, but found nothing strange.
"Insert the card Dr. Herrington gave you into the host computer, look at the route map, and prepare to run away. As for your abilities, you will know later." The voice of the system appeared in his mind.
Valentine found the card and inserted the side with the golden finger into the console.
"System, since you can play music, are you also a computer? Do you have an avatar?" Valentine waited for the computer to read the information while talking to the system in his mind.
"PC? That is indeed similar to me. But if you really want to say that the world is most similar to me, it is the supercomputer buried in another research institution. In addition, regarding the avatar, I do have this function." The voice of the system There was some disdain, as if he looked down upon the level of computers in the Terra world.
"But I suggest not to think about those unrealistic things. Three-dimensional creatures can never be together with two-dimensional paper people."
"So you are a two-dimensional creature?" Valentine was a little surprised.
"I can exist in a two-dimensional form or a four-dimensional form. To me, the difference in dimensions is just a different way of existence. In addition, I am not a living thing."
…
Nothing to say.
Just as he was listening to the system bragging about beer, there was a data computer room on the fifth underground floor of the Rhine Life Laboratory.
This is the most heavily guarded place in the entire underground facility, with only its administrators and a few scientists with the highest authority allowed to enter. These dozens of servers soaked in coolant contain the data of the entire Rheinland Life Laboratory. Every hard drive removed can be exchanged for the same weight of pure Originium. It is no exaggeration.
Moreover, next door to the data computer room is the laboratory responsible for the "Fire Demon Project". The flame that burned down the entire five underground floors did not break through the heavy door of the computer room. This also shows how much Rheinland Life values these unfavorable things. Stop the buzzing machine.
A Liboli woman with white hair and orange eyes looked at the display screen in front of her in a daze, and the tea on the table was filled with hot white mist. She is Dr. Hemmer's assistant, the White-faced Owl, who was transferred here after the "Balrog Project" was put on hold and is responsible for managing these data.
This is just a sinecure. Let her have something to do for the time being. After the Balrog Plan is restarted, she will be allowed to return to Hemo and continue working.
But being idle does not mean that you can remain idle forever.
Just when the white-faced owl almost fell asleep, a window suddenly popped up on the display screen on the table.
"An unknown program has been detected attacking the database, and the level 3 firewall has been activated."
Below this sentence is a cross-section of the building, with a red dot lighting up just above Valentine's room.
Li Boli blinked at the red dot on the screen, and then dialed the phone: "This is the data computer room, and I am the administrator White-faced Owl. The database of the Rhine Life Laboratory has been invaded, and the source of the intrusion is in the experimental body." Isis' room, please ask the Ministry of Defense to send someone to investigate immediately."
"Understood." The other end of the phone answered.
The white-faced owl hung up the phone and inserted a USB flash drive into the interface. Soon, the alarm was lifted, and the white-faced owl continued her dazed routine.
In the corner of the computer room, the indicator light on a server turned red and soon returned to normal.
————————I’ll talk about it later————————
Valentin looked at himself in the mirror and was a little confused. He didn't expect the system to be so reliable this time.
At this time, he was wearing an IOTV gen4 body armor made by Earth Eagle, with thick bulletproof panels on the chest and back. The outside of the body armor is a blue Velocity Systems multi-purpose patrol vest. The upper pocket is filled with sand-yellow magazines. The grenade bags on both sides also contain two M67 grenades and two M64 shock bombs.
There were five weapons on the table in front of him: a Remington ACR assault rifle with an MRS reflex sight and a UVG tactical grip, an MP7A1 submachine gun with a DP small sight, and the XM25 air blast, which looked heavy ammunition launcher, the original M45A1 pistol without any accessories and the classic M9 multi-purpose bayonet.
Next to these weapons was a bulletproof helmet with holes cut out, presumably custom-made for Valentine.
Obviously, these weapons and armors were created out of thin air by the system just to get him out of here.
"Is this... the rhythm for me to fight out? Can't I sneak in?" Valentin was a little doubtful of his own eyes.
Rifle submachine gun grenade launcher…
This system just lets him kill people!
It's okay to kill Andrea, he won't have such a big psychological burden, but he has to point the gun at ordinary Defense Department officers and other experimenters...
Valentin knew that his survival was the most important thing, but if a good young man who had grown up under the red flag of a harmonious society was allowed to kill people without any transition, he felt that he might not be able to pull the trigger.
"Otherwise? There are cameras everywhere in this building. What's the use of sneaking? Can you still be invisible?" The system sneered at his childish idea.
"Loki, Loki in Warframe can become invisible." It was obvious that Valentine had his own ideas.
"That's too expensive. It's just to help you escape. It's not worth it."
"Expensive?" Valentine felt that he heard wrongly.
"Don't ask so many questions. I suggest you run away. I can feel that someone is already coming, and they are carrying weapons." The system urged.
"Oh." Valentin hurriedly arranged the equipment, carried the ACR and XM25 behind his back, and took the MP7 in his hand to look at it carefully.
"There are some differences between this gun model and the one in the real world...the one in Call of Duty 8?"
He quickly recognized what ability the system had given him this time. Not only these weapons, but also the COD-specific mini-map and prop indicator bar that suddenly appeared in front of you.
However, judging from the armor on his body at the moment, the system still contains private goods in this ability.
There is no such body armor and ammunition slings in COD8.
As for why these two weapons were used, Valentin could also make a guess. In the multiplayer mode of Call of Duty 8, ACR and MP7 are two cancerous guns. ACR takes advantage of both near and far, while MP7 moves fast and has no solution at close range. In multiplayer mode, there are often a bunch of people shooting at each other with ACR and MP7. , nicknamed acr versus mp7.
Now he is starting the multiplayer mode of Call of Duty 8 DLC: Terra World, and he is definitely the strongest with a gun.
It can only be said that thanks to the gaming abilities given to him by the system, he can still run around with all these weapons and ammunition on his back. If he were only given equipment but no abilities, he would probably have a hard time even walking.
Valentine walked to the door, turned and looked around the room. Although he hates Rhine life, after each experiment, he can only feel a trace of warmth in this room. And today, he will leave here, leaving this place that has left him with many painful memories.
"Hope it won't come back again," Valentine whispered softly, sliding the card through the lockpick.
"Permission level 1, authentication passed."
The door opened, and Valentine opened the door to welcome the coming freedom.
Then he saw two heavily armed men standing at the door, with three words written on their badges: Ministry of Defense.
The three of them stared at each other, and soon the two brothers were the first to react and ran away quickly. While running, he shouted into the intercom: "Level 2 alert! Experimental subject 'Isis' has escaped from containment! He also has gun weapons and explosive projectiles in his hand! The danger is extremely high! Go and notify Director Celia." !”
Looking at the backs of the two defense brothers, Valentin silently uttered one word.
"Grass."
