Three days after the Battle of Red City ended.
Players were going in and out of the Red City, with trolleybuses passing by on the road from time to time.
In the past few days, the natural disaster base has basically been moved to the inner city of Red City.
Everything is fine in Red City, and you can move in with just your luggage. Players just need to bring their belongings and choose a residence in the designated area.
Cheng Shaofeng dismantled part of the buildings in the Huozhen base and moved it to Hongcheng, but retained some of the basic machinery because the geographical location there was very good, there were monsters spawning there, and players also needed it as a supply point.
Not to mention that the development of the natural disaster planting base is inseparable from the nutrient-rich black soil of Huo Town, which will become the base camp of the planting base in the future.
And... a cunning rabbit has three burrows, always preparing for the worst.
If anything unexpected happens in Hongcheng, we can retreat back to the Huozhen base.
Those local vagrants who followed Cheng Shaofeng also moved into Hongcheng and lived in the area designated by Cheng Shaofeng.
In order to facilitate management and save resources, Cheng Shaofeng arranged all the local people over 2,000 years old to live in a high-rise residential area.
The perfect heating, power supply and water supply system allowed them to experience the room temperature of 20 degrees for the first time in the winter of the wasteland. They were so moved that they cried and shouted that they wanted to give birth to babies for the lord.
When Hongcheng was first established, it was a technological city and an environmentally friendly city. It has abundant clean energy, solar energy, and can easily supply this community of more than 2,000 people.
Most of Hongcheng's daily energy consumption is used to maintain the virtual world equipment for fishing. Very little is used for other civilian purposes, and solar energy is enough.
The total area of Red City is 240 square kilometers. The inner city is a standard square, covering an area of 100 square kilometers. It is surrounded by huge steel walls on all four sides and has controllable gates. When all are closed, infantry from outside cannot enter.
For air defense, there are a large number of energy anti-aircraft guns, which are specially used to attack abnormal objects in the air.
This is also the reason why even though Cheng Shaofeng and his companions had a large number of crows that could be summoned, they were unable to explore the inner city of Red City before. They were killed as soon as they entered.
But... now they have all become Cheng Shaofeng's property, and Zero can fully control all the city defense equipment.
The system that Long Yi had cracked into before was also repaired by Zero, and more complex confidentiality measures were added. Long Yi is now completely helpless against the Red City's network system. In his own words... it is no longer in the same dimension as his technology.
Zero once again proved why it is the strongest AI intelligence.
In 3 days, with the help of robots, the Scourge Base officially took over Red City and had the entire city to itself.
Cheng Shaofeng stood on the top floor of the administrative center, looking at the empty Red City, and an idea popped into his mind.
"How many players do I need to summon to fill this city?"
Not to mention the hundreds of players now, even the 1,000 players who are about to be summoned are just a drop in the ocean.
"When my players fill up this city, there will be at least hundreds of thousands of people, right? More than 400 players take over a city, hundreds of thousands of players... they will have to flatten the wasteland, right?"
Cheng Shaofeng thought this was very likely.
The Scourge Base has been successfully upgraded to level 4! The 'Comprehensive Processing Workshop' is now open for construction, and the 'Nano-Replica Robot' has awakened.
Cheng Shaofeng charged the base with 100,000 energy and reached level 4.
The upgrade took 3 days so it was just completed.
"Zero, please introduce the newly unlocked buildings and robots."
Zero: "Master. The comprehensive processing workshop and the nano-replica robot are supporting equipment. The nano-replica robot can analyze and copy most of the mechanical items in your hands and process and manufacture them through the comprehensive processing workshop."
"At the same time, the integrated processing workshop can also save and replicate all equipment maps, and can produce them by itself by providing the corresponding materials and energy."
Cheng Shaofeng: "Okay! Build a comprehensive processing workshop for me right away. I'm going to start copying my Green Goblin skateboard! And I also need to copy the large device that can absorb the energy of the shrine!"
In Cheng Shaofeng's opinion, the practicality of this thing is better than the synthesizer of all things!
The Everything Synthesizer requires constant luck to have a chance to synthesize some good things.
The comprehensive processing workshop can directly copy existing items.
"By the way, Zero, can my equipment be copied?"
Zero: "The equipment obtained from the loot generator cannot be copied, because the items are obtained by decomposing all the energy of a certain creature. There are no completely identical creatures in the world. Changing any condition will make the equipment different, so it cannot be reproduced."
"That's a shame... I was planning to make more copies of some of the epic equipment for players to use."
But think about it, what Zero said is right, decomposing and recombining organisms in the loot generator is a random combination of biological materials and energy, which is completely uncontrollable. It is not like the production of mechanical parts, as long as the materials are filled according to the same design, the same thing can be produced.
"Hey! By the way, can electronic components be copied?"
Zero: "Yes, there are electronic components in the initial blueprint of the comprehensive processing workshop. You just need to put in the corresponding metal materials, mainly copper, nickel, gold and other materials."
"It doesn't matter. There are plenty of warehouses in Hongcheng. We can have as many as you want. I think it will be enough for a few years..."
Zero: "Yes, shall we build a comprehensive processing workshop now?"
"put up!"
Cheng Shaofeng didn't even ask about the material consumption, he just started building!
The face of the nouveau riche can no longer be concealed.
It’s been 3 days!
Cheng Shaofeng's mouth was still curled up...
Take a look at the current energy of the base.
Level: 4
Energy: 125570/1000000
"The base needs to accumulate 1 million units of energy to reach the next stage. It will take some time... Let's raise our own level first!"
"Zero, give me energy and advance to level 30!"
All of Cheng Shaofeng's crystals are stored on the top floor of the administrative center and guarded by a fourth-order fishing robot controlled by Zero, so there is no need to worry about safety.
Under Zero's control, crystals of different colors floated out of the surrounding boxes and transformed into streams of energy that entered Cheng Shaofeng's body.
Cheng Shaofeng needs 50,000 energy to reach level 30.
It’s a piece of cake compared to the large amount of crystals harvested in Hongcheng.
Energy flowed through Cheng Shaofeng's body, and a miniature base appeared vaguely in his mind, emitting a network of thin energy lines that helped Cheng Shaofeng open up all the joints in his body and maximize the use of energy.
Cheng Shaofeng has never encountered a bottleneck. The Natural Disaster Base can clear all obstacles for him.
3 hours later.
boom!
A huge airflow rushed out from Cheng Shaofeng's body, and the surrounding windows were blew open.
All the energy turned into a ball of white light and gathered in Cheng Shaofeng's hands.
He clenched his fists.
"Level 3! Such a strong power!"
Congratulations to the Lord for reaching level 30, all attributes +11, available attribute points +11, available skill points +11.
Cheng Shaofeng's strength, agility, and intelligence all increased by 11 points, which made Cheng Shaofeng feel different instantly, and... there was also a surge of unconsumed energy lingering in his chest.
Cheng Shaofeng knew that those were his 11 attribute points and 11 skill points.
"Upgrading to level 30 gives a lot of extra attributes and skill points. It's a huge improvement! It's much stronger than the player's clone..."
"But players are given 3 skill points for every level they gain, but I only get 1. This is better than me. I guess when the clones were designed, it was to allow players to gain more skill points to strengthen their skills and gain combat power as quickly as possible."
"When Cheng Dafu reached level 30, he was given an extra 7 attribute points and 7 skill points, which is not bad."
When Cheng Shaofeng was looking at his attributes, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and a talent from his soul emerged.
"Oh right, innate skills!"
Every time a human evolver advances one level, he or she will comprehend a talent skill. If there is a heritage, he or she will comprehend the skills within the heritage based on previous practice experience. It is also an opportunity for newcomers in the nine heritages of the Human Alliance to learn advanced skills. They should seize this opportunity to directly comprehend the skills that are difficult to practice.
For those who don't have any inheritance, obtaining innate skills... depends more on luck.
Talented skills are the embodiment of one's own will, and will generate a skill that suits oneself based on one's own work style and practice direction.
Some will be weak, some will be strong.
For example, an evolver who likes to watch some content that is not suitable for children, in line with his own temperament during evolution, obtains a skill that allows him to imagine exciting scenes at any time... and can also share these scenes with others.
Humanoid film viewer.
But its impact on actual combat is very low, which means it is a useless skill. As for why Cheng Shaofeng used this as an example... Damn, the fangirl went back to the base yesterday, and among the common skills she brought back, this thing was one of them!
It's called illusion.
Others use skills to control their opponents, but he uses skills to directly control himself!
Of course, if the other party has the same XP as you, you may be able to turn enemies into friends after sharing the screen.
Moreover, even this crappy skill can only be learned at level 20.
Cheng Shaofeng called it: paper towel consumption skill.
"Rely on the defense!"
Of course, most of the talent skills are relatively normal. Some of the better skills that Cheng Shaofeng found are: Fire Spell, King Kong Body, Summon Pig Spirits, and Summon Wolf Spirits.
They are all pretty good and are used by many players.
At this moment, after Cheng Shaofeng sensed his third-order evolutionary talent... his mouth opened wider and wider until it reached an exaggerated angle.
"Fuck! I'm really a coward!"
It was already showing on his smartwatch.
Talented skills: Shadow Guard 1, Shadow Guard Enhanced, Shadow Guard 2.
Cheng Shaofeng had thought that the third-tier talent skill would be related to Shadow Guard, but he wanted to give Shadow Guard 4 more skill slots, or some other forms...
I never expected that he could actually summon a second shadow guard!
Closing his eyes, Cheng Shaofeng felt the imprint from his soul. This skill was invented by himself and he knew it naturally without any practice.
"Summoning, Shadow Guard 2!"
Cheng Shaofeng's body energy was rapidly lost, and a black shadow formed in front of him. There were still eight empty spots of light on his body. Cheng Shaofeng himself fell into an extremely weak state.
"The skill slots are still 8. The abilities of Shadow Guard 2 are the same as mine. It seems that they just increased the number, but did not enhance the abilities... That's still a huge profit!"
"It's just that... I can barely control the Shadow Guard and myself to operate on two lines, and now there's another Shadow Guard, my brain is not enough."
Cheng Shaofeng didn't even dare to think about how terrible it would be if a martial artist learned this skill. That martial artist would occupy the brain capacity of martial artists all over the world every day...
"Huh? This..."
Cheng Shaofeng's real body closed his eyes.
Shadow Guard 1 and Shadow Guard 2 opened their eyes at the same time. The two shadow guards looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes!
This double vision was directly reflected in Cheng Shaofeng's mind, as if he had four eyes!
At the same time, the two physical sensations, two smells, and two senses of hearing all converged into Cheng Shaofeng's own soul through the shadow guard, without any sense of awkwardness.
Shadow Guard 1: "Fight?"
Shadow Guard 2: "Okay, let's try!"
The two black shadows fought with bare hands and basic moves in front of Cheng Shaofeng who had his eyes closed. Their movements were smooth and silky, without any discomfort at all!
After fighting for 15 minutes... the shadow guard stopped, and neither could break the other's moves.
They bowed and looked at each other: "Your Excellency has great skills!"
Cheng Shaofeng: "Hahahaha! Awesome! After I reach level three, I can fully control both bodies. Drawing a circle with my left hand and a square with my right hand is no problem at all!"
After he opened his eyes, the two shadow guards became noticeably slower. Apparently, the limit was two. After the third body woke up, the rest would enter a state of low brain consumption.
Cheng Shaofeng looked at his two shadow guards, hesitated for a moment, and used 5 of his 11 attribute points on agility.
His nerve reactions were strengthened, his brain worked faster, and he could barely control three bodies.
"It works! It seems that increasing agility will improve my control ability... I have to add more in the future."
Cheng Shaofeng added the remaining 6 points to agility at once, and felt that his physical and thinking speed had improved a lot.
While being able to smoothly operate two shadow guards, the main body can barely be in a half-asleep and half-awake state.
"This is great. We can use the Shadow Guard to do more things safely."
"It's just that after this summon... it's a bit physically demanding."
Cheng Shaofeng was so weak that he didn't want to move at all. He found a comfortable position on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Shadow Guard 1 entered Cheng Dafu's body, walked out of the administrative center, and took a trolleybus to the north gate of Hongcheng.
"To the north of Huo Town is Red City. To the north of Red City... there is still such a rich output. Players will be blessed in the future."
He was going to the north to find a place to build a new communication base station to prevent players from dying while exploring the north.
Shadow Guard No. 2 thought for a moment.
"Zero, make me a blank clone. I want to enter this body."
"Next, the base is ready, it's time to let the new batch of players come up!"
“A new base, new rules, and new missions... It’s time to let players know more. If they want to survive the apocalypse safely... they need to resolve the dangers that have yet to come.”
Shadow Guard No. 2 connected to the operating platform of the Scourge Base and began to write the announcement:
"End of the World OL" internal beta version 2.3 update announcement
