(For the Silver Alliance, random update cannot be used, and the completion progress is 13/100.)
"Welcome to the Mechanical City. Are you ready to greet the morning sun? A passionate day has begun. Are you still worried about the beetles of the Virus Gang? Are you still afraid of the looting of the Steel Teeth Pirates
Don't worry! Today, the new Anti-T46 Spiral Particle Cannon will be launched on Kroll Street. Use your contribution points to buy it for a limited time. It will only be sold for six hours!
Let's kill these bastards with one shot, and let your mechanical career begin with the death of all enemies!
The price is only 99.8 contribution points, act now! The order hotline has been printed on your chip, the Mechanical City will never fall!"
There was total darkness in his consciousness. As the darkness slowly faded away, Bai Wu heard noisy advertisements and the sounds of countless metals rubbing against each other.
He slowly opened his eyes.
"We are lucky to be in a relatively mild village." Xie Xingzhi obviously came to his senses earlier than Bai Wu.
Appearing within the white fog's sight were some buildings of varying heights, just like the ruins of Denglin City that they had visited before.
These buildings cannot be called ruins, but because they are covered with all kinds of weird graffiti and the walls are decorated with light tubes of mixed colors, the area looks like a painting. The painting shows a town from seven hundred years ago, in which all kinds of robots live, and the colors of the painting are colorful.
As for what appeared in the distance of the white fog's sight, there were countless towering high-rise buildings, huge billboards, airships and novel flying objects, aerial lanes, and tracks leading to the core city - a super-huge floating city 1,200 meters above the ground.
This world has no moon or sun. The powerful energy shield prevents any foreign objects from invading. It seems to be an independent world.
This was Bai Wu’s first time in the Mechanical City. Even though he had played many science fiction games in his previous life, the scene before him still seemed incredible to him.
The vast outskirts of the city are made up of these old communities, where various mechanical creatures also live.
As the white fog surveyed the surroundings and the distance, notes kept popping up:
Strictly speaking, you are not in the Mechanical City, although you have heard the advertisement of the Mechanical City, but this place is a garbage dump. What is a garbage dump? It is a place where waste generated by various cities is piled up. Scrapped mechanical lives, attached to some part of the restless soul, they are all piled up here.
These houses you see are built by refugees on the edge of the mechanical city using various waste materials based on the memories in their souls. It is very dangerous here, but then again, where in this damn place is not dangerous
In the entire abandoned town, one can see many mechanical bodies with parts of their mechanical cores exposed.
Bai Wu temporarily called them the Robot Clan. Some of these Robot Clan sat in the shade and smoked, while others gathered together, seemingly playing cards and gambling.
Others went to pan for gold in huge waste dumps. They needed food and energy.
Even though it is an abandoned place, there are vending machines that provide many strange goods, as well as processing plants and repair shops.
But obviously, these places require money, that is, contribution points.
Bai Wu's gaze turned toward the city center where tall buildings stood.
The inner city is a place of prosperity and corruption, sin and distortion. Of course you will go into the inner city to take a look. After all, you need to earn prestige points and contribution points. There are more opportunities there. Before you have enough contribution points and prestige points, you will not see Zero.
Bai Wu looked up:
The core city, where the real rich people stay, is closely related to the inner city. It is also the place you must arrive to meet Zero. My old friend, before that, we have to slowly understand many things in the entire mechanical city, as well as the promotion system.
Xie Xingzhi remained silent the entire time, waiting for Bai Wu to observe slowly. He was sure that Bai Wu must be confused, and then he slowly told Bai Wu how to survive in this place.
But this is not the place to talk, because noisy advertisements bombard people's ears.
"Hey, guys, would you like some breakfast? 0.07 contribution points, enjoy this morning's hearty breakfast, c21 series fuel, let the new day start with full energy!"
"Are you still worried about not having enough contribution points to go to the inner city to get a chance to rise to prominence? Are you still upset because you can't buy the latest city walker for your beloved woman? Are you still embarrassed because you don't have a good-looking D-series body? Motor Company, a credit company you can always trust, only needs to mortgage your temporarily worthless mechanical core, and you can get the right to experience a D-series body. Of course, we will charge you a little interest, but when you have gained enough prestige in the inner city, this little interest is nothing?"
"Kroll Spiral Cannon? I admit that the T46 weapon is an innovation, but if you buy it, others will buy it too, and the jet power of the T46 is not unstoppable. Rather than a cannon, you may need our Mog Company's new product - the anti-T46 Will Shield."
"Welcome to join the Mechanicus. Flesh and blood are weak, but machines can ascend. Under the leadership of the president of the Mechanicus, we will surely receive the blessing of the God of Machinery. Pirates, beetles, and the Rawu virus? God will purify them!"
"Mechanical superstar Jia Kai'er will hold a concert in the inner city in three days. Do I need to tell you how charming Jia Kai'er is? Thinking of her slender titanium alloy legs and the seductive movements driven by her pseudo-bone, my mechanical core has become a long strip! Damn bastards, come and buy tickets quickly!"
"The Rawu virus is spreading. Please do not get too close to other mechanical bodies. Currently, it has been detected that the Rawu virus can be transmitted from person to person. Please go to the inner city's top three hospitals every Friday for data purification. Do not merge data with strangers. - Mechanical City Security Office."
A huge amount of information kept coming in through almost no repetitive advertisements. Bai Wu realized this time, was this a prophecy
I have never experienced a large area outside the tower, but now I have.
Moreover... this place is both a dangerous black zone and a city of robot humans.
Bai Wu smiled. The first exploration of the black area seemed to be much longer than he had imagined.
Bai Wu also quickly understood the power of this place.
Not far in front of him, an animatronic dog was tilting its head.
Oh, damn my obsessive-compulsive disorder. It's a mechanical shell painted with husky paint, but the soul is that of a Shiba Inu. I can't accept it! But you'd better not bully it. Although it is a stupid dog beaten by homeless people, a bite is enough to make you lose a lot of health. You'd better earn contribution points quickly and get yourself a set of Kuros Eye equipment. Their equipment has no cost-effectiveness, but who doesn't like the Eye of the Prodigal
"There is no mutation level, no distortion entry, but the notes given by the Eye still indicate that these mechanical races have strong attack power."
"At the same time, I was asked to update my equipment quickly. From this, I can infer that... these mechanical races may seem weak, but they may cause great damage to pure flesh and blood... The only thing that can defeat technology is stronger technology."
"This dog is said to be easily picked up by the homeless, which shows that it should be the weakest of all the creatures in the mechanical city. The previous advertisement mentioned the beetles of the virus gang and the steel-toothed pirates. Obviously, they are more dangerous than the homeless..."
Bai Wu quickly sorted out his thoughts - in this place, if he relied solely on his own flesh and blood, even a homeless person in this small town might pose a threat to him.
Xie Xingzhi looked at the white mist in silence for a long time, then said:
"Are you surprised? I was also surprised when I first came here. This city is simply magnificent beyond imagination. This is the largest ecological zone outside the tower I have ever seen, although we don't know whether we should count mechanical objects with souls as living things."
Bai Wu's inner surprise was almost suppressed by his desire to explore:
"If this place is purified of some of its distorted rules, it might be more suitable for human survival than the tower. Speaking of which, won't we be attacked if we just show up like this?"
Xie Xingzhi found the first half of the sentence funny. This place was not a place where the weak tower dwellers could survive. He responded with the second half:
"No, we don't have any contribution points, and we don't have any energy. To these mechanical people, we are trash, and it would be a waste to kill us."
"We need to obtain contribution points now. This is the currency of this world. How many contribution points are needed to enter the inner city?" Bai Wu looked at Xie Xingzhi.
Xie Xingzhi was surprised. Bai Wu seemed to understand a lot:
"Take your time. There's about thirty seconds left before we need to choose our initial character."
"What the hell?"
"Compared to them, we are primitive organisms, that is, carbon-based life. We have a unique survival system in this place, which is different from these mechanical races. You will understand it immediately."
At this time, Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi, Wujiu and Zheng Yue, Bai Xiaoyu and Yan Zizai were all standing on the periphery of the three areas.
Strange images appeared in their minds.
The five people were the same, but on Bai Wu's side, some explanations popped up because of the Eye of Prell.
Career options: Doctor, worker, gang member, male prostitute, vigilante, mercenary, driver, teacher, courier... Well, my friend, you have seen a lot of career lists. As a newcomer who is about to enter the mechanical city, you will immediately embark on an adventure different from all the previous areas. Whether you are a degenerate or a human, you must choose a career. In other words, the mechanical city does not support idle people.
By the way, let me tell you a small detail - contribution points are very important. You can earn contribution points by completing tasks within the scope of your profession, or - you can just kill, burn, and loot. Zero doesn't mind.
But if you earn it through non-combat means, such as your job, you will gain prestige points. The higher the prestige points, the greater the chance of seeing Zero, and the higher your status in the mechanical city. At the same time, some rare goods have prestige level requirements.
If you can leave here alive, perhaps you will get a lot of improvements in the Mechanical City. Although this place was created by Zero, you may be able to find something that surpasses Zero here. After all... No one knows what kind of innovation will happen after the machine has a soul.
Finally, I suggest you scroll to the bottom of the career list and wish you a happy adventure in the mechanical city.
The eyes give several long paragraphs of information, and it is obvious that this initial choice is very important.
Bai Wu listened to the advice and slid the information that appeared in his consciousness. Xie Xingzhi said:
"What would you choose? To be honest, my boss is the only one who has seen Zero. I have never seen Zero. Zero's real body should be in the core city, which is the city floating in the air. I have only seen a downgraded copy of Zero in the inner city. In order to see Zero this time, I have studied mechanical medicine hard. I choose doctor. You can choose the same thing as me. In the early stage, I will help you earn some contribution points."
Xie Xingzhi chose the doctor, Wujiu chose the gangster, and Zheng Yue was lazy and followed Wujiu's choice.
Yan Zizai chose mercenaries. Bai Xiaoyu was afraid of this place and followed Yan Zizai and made the same choice.
As for Bai Wu, he scrolled to the bottom of the list of all professions. The profession at the bottom was called Twisted Soul Corrector, (in parentheses), a high-risk profession.
The words "high-risk occupation" are enough to scare away people with normal thinking, but Bai Wu believed in the Eye of Prell, so he chose to be a twisted soul corrector.
Bai Wu didn't know what a twisted soul corrector was, so after choosing, he asked Xie Xingzhi:
"I didn't choose a doctor. I chose a twisted soul corrector. Do you know what this profession is?"
Xie Xingzhi was stunned on the spot:
"Bai Wu, are you kidding me? You are such a smart person, but you can't see the big words 'high-risk occupation'? Are you kidding me?"
Xie Xingzhi was shocked. His first reaction was that Bai Wu was joking. But after the professions were loaded, everyone's interface soon appeared.
Bai Wu, native human, prestige points: 0, occupation: twisted soul corrector (lv1).
Now Bai Wu and Xie Xingzhi can see each other's information, including that of these mechanical residents.
It is worth mentioning that most of the mechanical residents in the outer city are homeless, a profession with no levels.
Xie Xingzhi suddenly felt that Bai Wu was a bit of a rip-off. Perhaps Bai Wu’s journey had ended before it even began:
"A twisted soul corrector means you are responsible for repairing a body with a damaged soul. A damaged body can be repaired, but how do you repair a broken soul? There are not many people in the entire mechanical city who can do this job!"
Xie Xingzhi continued:
"Besides, a damaged soul means that you are facing some sick and twisted souls. The possibility of them attacking you is much higher than other machines."
Bai Wu probably understood that the soul was trapped in the body... which would cause problems for some souls. What he had to do was to correct these souls
"The Rawu virus is spreading... You chose a class that starts with hellish difficulty, damn it!"
(The character cards for Eye of Prey are out. Please help give me a thumbs up. What if there are cards in the future? Although it’s still a long way off, the post with 10,000 people signing in blood has almost reached 6,000. What is impossible?)
