Winter.
On the snowy land, there is a group of heavily armed teams moving forward at high speed.
Even in such an extremely cold place, judging from their clothes, it does not look like they are in the harsh winter. Large areas of skin are exposed, and the thin action clothes are tight to the body. Everything seems to be just for the convenience of fighting.
If you zoom in closer and take a closer look at the faces of these girls flying on the snow, you will find that all of them have expressionless faces, as if they don't know the cold and are tireless, just like... dolls.
Suddenly, the leader raised his arm and gave a stop command.
The entire team immediately stopped and began to guard the surrounding area.
The captain squatted down and groped for something on the snow. He seemed to have found some traces. Judging from their appearance, they should be chasing someone.
Soon, an oval-shaped doll with two ears on its head was dug out of the shallow snow.
Look at this strange looking doll.
The captain frowned at first, then reacted immediately and shouted.
"Everyone, unfold the defense screen..."
Before even saying the word "barrier" for the barrier, the chubby doll in the captain's hand burst out red and white rays in all directions, followed by a loud "rumbling" sound that echoed in the ice and snow.
The fire soaring into the sky centered on the captain, and the billowing heat waves spread towards the surroundings.
There was no doubt that it was a bomb used as a bait trap.
After the thick smoke, there were team members scattered all over the snow. The only one who could still move was the captain holding the bomb, because she still activated the defensive barrier at the moment of the explosion.
But even so, the almost zero-range explosion still left her unrecognizable, with her skin torn open and burn marks all over her body.
But because of this, you can see ropes one after another, like wires, forming a dense circuit... No, you can vaguely feel the flow of magic from these veins, so it should be said that it is a magic network, hidden in Beneath her human exterior.
"Damage detection...f287...death...f288...death...f289..."
"The damage ratio exceeds 95%...it is determined that the arrest operation failed...the reason for the failure...the target is suspected to have professional knowledge in the mechanical system...the target's danger level is estimated to be seriously wrong...the latest data is being uploaded..." .”
Bang!
A gunshot came from a distance, completely ending the captain's emotionless mechanical voice.
A magic bullet penetrated her head. The captain, who was already seriously injured, fell limply on the cold snow just like her men.
Almost a minute later.
Several stranger figures wearing snow suits quickly approached the location of the team's corpses. Among them was the one who was obviously the leader, with the ID of "White Ghost" on his head.
He held a slender firearm in his hand, and the bullet that ended the captain should have been shot from him.
"Damn it, Brother Bai, your new professional mechanic is too powerful. You destroyed an F-level formation so easily?"
One of the players looked at the messy scene after the bomb doll. Even the thick snow was blown into a deep hole. On the white ground, blackened explosion traces could be seen everywhere, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Seven or eight of them must be level 20 modified experimental bodies. They were half-buried in the snow due to the explosion. If they were to fight head-on, it would be impossible for these players, who were only over ten levels, to defeat them. , but their Guild Leader Bai Ghost single-handedly destroyed the enemy group without even seeing him.
He was a little embarrassed. Who would have thought that the professional mechanic on the technological side, who was ridiculed and looked down upon by many Winter players at the time, and was only available in Winter, could have such great power. As expected, there is no such thing as a useless profession. There are only useless players.
But on the other hand, blowing blowing...
Another male player in the team looked at the horrific corpses of these "golem" girls with great heartache, especially when he walked next to the captain whose head was shot, and it was clear that half of his head was blown away by a sniper. , exposing the magic network circuit inside, but their boss, Bai Ghost, could still remain calm, picked up the tool box and began to disassemble it, trying to find some mechanical parts that could be used again.
Moreover, this scene is not the first time. Ever since the boss was promoted to the machinist profession, he has been extremely persistent and excited about these golem experimental girls...excited about being able to dismantle various parts on their bodies.
Therefore, when the last companion marveled at the power of the mechanic profession, this one curled his lips and couldn't help complaining: "Mechanic? I think if Brother Bai continues like this, he will really become a master first! How can he bear to do this? Get rid of it!"
"Go away, you think everyone is the same as you. Last time, we were almost wiped out just because you were fascinated by the experimental team leader. Isn't she just a little bigger, a little whiter...a little too big?" Is there anything?"
"Oh, yeah, originally I said I wanted to share the recently released Setu, so it seems..."
"Ahem, that, I'm really not interested in this, but I have a friend..."
While his teammates were chatting and complaining, White Ghost had initially completed the disassembly of the team leader's experimental body.
He carefully put several small and sophisticated magic circuit components into his backpack, and then looked at the captain's body with a look of reluctance in the white ghost's eyes.
Because in fact, the opponent still has a lot of removable and usable golem parts, but firstly, there is not enough time now, and secondly, there is no room for those parts in his already full backpack space, so even if he takes them down Yes, how to take it away is also a problem.
"Okay, stop talking. It's time to retreat. I'm afraid reinforcements from the experimental base are coming soon. If a G-level team comes, I can't stand it. Let's go, retreat back to the hiding place!"
White Ghost waved his hand, and it was obvious that these players were familiar with the road. They moved a little closer to their feet and activated the switch. It turned out that even their boots had been transformed into high-speed power sliding boots adapted to the snow. They came faster and walked faster. Quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the vast white snow.
About half an hour later.
The figure of the White Ghost Team disappeared into an ice cave. As they went deeper into the ice cave, after many twists and turns, they finally arrived at the hidden stronghold of their rebel army "White Star".
Yes, since the open beta of the server, most of the players who chose "Winter" as their birth point have been taken to the laboratory and brainwashed into submission. The players have been divided into two groups. One group has completely joined the organization. The other faction is naturally led by White Ghost, who successfully got rid of the brainwashing by relying on the addition of intelligence attributes, and then confronted the organization after escaping.
From just one person at the beginning, as White Ghost's influence grew, he finally formed a guild called "White Star". Although with the current power of their rebel players, they are far from being able to fight against the organization, but they often fight. The guerrilla warfare in the opening scene was quite manageable, and precisely because their rebel force was growing stronger, White Ghost, the player leader who was the first to escape from the laboratory, was now listed as wanted by that organization.
The white ghost sighed when he thought of this.
He walked to his warehouse, first put away the components that were disassembled today, and while looking at the almost full warehouse, White Ghost sat at his mechanical work table and fell into deep thought.
In fact, the biggest drawback of the mechanic is that there is not enough storage space here! Especially the portable space!
Don't look at the many powerful machines in his warehouse now. In addition to high-explosive bombs like before, magic bullet sniper rifles, and even battle golems that look like spiders, the problem is... how to bring these? What about entering the battlefield?
It's okay to fight positional warfare, but the problem is that almost the vast majority of battles are actually encounters and guerrilla warfare.
But in the wild, he couldn't bring the warehouse to fight, right?
Just like the bomb he buried in the snow before, although it looks small, it occupies three entire grids. It is not like the material that can be stacked with 99+ in one category.
It cannot be superimposed, which is a common problem of all machines. As the level of subsequent machines increases, some machines, such as power arms, have to occupy six or seven grids, making the already poor backpack space even worse.
Therefore, the upper limit of space in the carry-on backpack almost locks the upper limit of the mechanic.
Therefore, the most pressing issue facing White Ghost now is actually how to find a way to increase the number of machines that can be carried with him.
As long as he can overcome this difficulty and give him enough preparation time, White Ghost will be confident that he can form an army by himself, and even actively plan a counterattack, instead of being like now, he can only fight guerrilla warfare against experimental organizations.
[Ding, you have received a new friend application]
When he was thinking about future countermeasures, suddenly, a system prompt came in Bai Ghost's mind.
Because he is considered a celebrity in the cold winter, countless people join him every day, so in order to be clean but afraid of missing something important, White Ghost set it up so that only players above level 20 can apply for his friends. As a result, there are still He was a little surprised that he could apply as a friend.
When he called out the system and clicked on it, White Ghost frowned.
"Black Feather? Who is this... Well, there is a certification behind it... President ka? Wait, ka!?..." White Ghost muttered at the bottom of his mouth. When he saw the final certification icon, he was even more surprised. .
White Ghost was born as a power leveling player, and he must be considered a hardcore player by now, so as an insider, he naturally knows about super guilds like Ka.
Although it seems to have been heard recently that Ka had a bit of a bad start in "Falling God", White Ghost is still very surprised. Why would such a large guild, and a person from Thousand Islands, contact him?
However, Ka's reputation was the best stepping stone. After some hesitation, even though he didn't like socializing much, he still agreed.
soon.
It might have been five seconds before he accepted the friend request.
With the sound of "ding dong", the unread private message from the new friend "Black Feather" flashed.
White Ghost looked over it quickly, and then he realized that the other party had taken on a mission with cross-border requirements and needed to find a collaborator in the cold winter.
As for me, I am relatively well-known in the winter, and as a "machinist" profession, I can be said to be the number one player, so naturally I was approached.
Why is his career mentioned here?
It's because Kuroyu's mission, "Creating an Annihilation Star," is also related to machinery.
To be honest, Bai Ghost was a little tempted by this task at first sight.
Not only because of the generous SS-level rewards, but most importantly, because he had the opportunity to come into contact with the blueprints of the "Annihilation Star", which were legendary blueprints! Don’t expect to get it, even if you just participate in the production, you can get a lot of experience points.
For a mechanic, what other temptation can be compared to a legendary blueprint! ?
However, after calming down, White Ghost became a little hesitant again.
Because first of all, this task has a time limit, and the required material "Winter Snow Lotus" White Ghost has also heard of. It is not something that can be found casually. It is a bit rare. This means that once he accepts this task, he You have to put down everything you are doing and put all your energy into it.
But in fact, White Ghost himself also has a main mission. Yes, after he became the first player to successfully escape from the laboratory, he automatically obtained the epic mission [Seed of Rebellion] released by the system.
Probably the content of the mission is to constantly fight against the laboratory. When a certain degree of destruction is met, various rewards can be obtained, and the reward amount is no worse than the SS level that Black Feather gave him.
So after weighing it, although it was a pity, Bai Ghost felt that it was better to focus on his own mission.
But before rejecting, he was also a little curious.
[White Ghost: President Black Feather, I would like to ask, even if I get the material, how can I hand it over to you? 】
[Black Feather: Did Brother Bai not pay attention to the "blank" travel card as a mission reward? 】
Blank...track sign?
It's not that White Ghost didn't see the mission reward, but because he had no interest in a card game like Journey Card that was better than nothing, he just ignored it.
Now being reminded by Kuroyu, White Phantom clicked on the [Details Page] of the "Blank" journey card with a doubtful attitude...
"...What the hell!?" Rough Kuang exclaimed echoing in the warehouse.
[White Ghost: President Kuroba, are you saying that this "blank" travel card can store objects into the card and then use it at will? It's even so easy to transport materials across countries just by trading travel tags! ? 】
[Black Feather: Yes, Brother Bai. 】
As soon as Black Feather finished replying, White Phantom's private message was quickly sent the next second.
[White Ghost: President Kuroba, may I ask how you obtained this "blank" travel plaque? Did you buy a card pack from the Adventurers Association? 】
[Black Feather: Well...Brother Bai, look at our mission...]
[White Ghost: I took it! 】
[White Ghost: So what is the channel to obtain the "blank" travel card? 】
Kuroyu was in front of the screen. Although it was a little strange that White Ghost was so interested in the blank cards, since in the mission details, the cooperator did have the name of White Ghost, Kuroyu replied:
[Brother Bai, I asked the people who play travel cards in our KA about this special travel card. They clearly said that this kind of card has never appeared in the game, at least through official channels, so I guess that blank cards are very It may be original by the Fox-Faced Miko. If you want to buy a card pack from the Adventurers Association, you probably won’t be able to get it.】
[White Ghost: Fox Face...Miko? 】
[Kuroba: Yes, she is the NPC who issued this mission, but the fox-faced witch is one of her vests. Her real name is Vivian]
Vivian...
As for the name of this NPC, White Ghost has also heard of it. After all, it was very popular during the closed beta, but it seems to have gradually faded out of the players' sight in the public beta. What's more, it is an NPC in the Flame Domain eight feet away from the cold winter. White Ghost Basically I don’t pay much attention to it.
but now...
[White Ghost: President Black Feather, since there are props like blank cards, I think I can not only help you collect materials, but you can also give me part of the assembly task of "Annihilation Star". When the time comes, I will directly use the blank cards. Just leave the finished product to you】
[Kuroba: This...]
Black Feather outside the screen, looking at the messages in the chat box, felt a bit like a pie in the sky. Of course, he was happy to see White Ghost help them assemble it. After all, he was a mechanic, so I'm afraid he alone One person is more powerful than ten of their ordinary craftsmen, and Black Feather is not afraid that White Ghost will not pay them back, as he is restricted by tasks.
He was now wondering, what was the purpose of White Ghost's efforts?
Is it just for...
As expected.
[White Ghost: President Black Feather, as I have completed the task ahead of schedule, I have a small request. I would like to ask President Black Feather to help me purchase some more "blank" travel cards from Vivian! 】
[Black Feather: Okay, I understand, I will go to the NPC and ask for you. 】
[White Ghost: Thank you, then...please cooperate! 】
[Kuroba: Happy cooperation! 】

ps: Some people get up early on Chinese Valentine's Day to go on a date, and some people get up early on Chinese Valentine's Day to code words. He really made me cry to death!
Anyway, I wish you all a happy Chinese Valentine's Day!
