The spacecraft opened smoothly, giving a clear view of the interior.
Xiao Mo was pulled away by Xue Lihong for a hundred meters in an instant, and he waited for a while without seeing any attack.
The two walked back again.
Except for a round light body in the center of the spacecraft, there was nothing else.
"The items and facilities inside require spiritual power to activate." Xiao Mo explained, bending down to enter the interior of the spacecraft.
Xue Lihong grabbed him and said, "I'll do it."
Xiao Mo shook his head and spread his fingers. "If the other party really has the ability to attack, it will only have one chance at most, otherwise it will attack as soon as the door opens. I will go in first. If he attacks me, you still have A chance to rescue me. If you go in first and die, I won’t be able to do anything about it."
This is a fact, Xue Lihong knows it in her heart, he is just concerned about it and is confused. This is not a good sign. He is becoming less and less calm when facing Xiao Mo's problems.
The interior of the spacecraft is not big, and it is very cramped for one person to walk in. Xue Lihong stood outside and watched Xiao Mo bend down and reach out to touch the round light body. Then when his hand just touched the light body, all movements suddenly stopped. live.
Just as Xue Lihong was about to move, Xiao Mo turned around and waved to him, indicating that he should wait for a while.
As for Xiao Mo, after he came in, he knew that there might be something wrong with the light body, but he still had to reach out and touch it. Before that, he asked the system if there was any danger. The system said that it was not aware of the danger, but the light body Full of energy.
"I am a system that is specially designed to carry out tasks for people on earth. There is not much relevant data about the Zerbeians. Wait, I found one. In this case, the light body should be similar to a nutrient tank to help Zerbies. For the recovery of the Beyya people.”
"How to open the light body?"
"have no idea."
"Then how do you take it out separately?" Xiao Mo looked through the light body and found that it was integrated with the spacecraft. This allowed him to repair some damage in the light body when repairing the spacecraft.
The system still says it doesn't know.
Helpless, Xiao Mo could only reach out directly, but just when he touched the light body, he suddenly heard a sound.
No, it should be said that the other party conveyed the meaning directly in his mind.
"Hey, thank you for saving me, Earthling."
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, but please don't try to open your light body, okay?"
Xiao Mo paused his hand, turned around to signal Xiao Hong not to worry, then turned around and kept his original posture and asked, "Are you conscious?"
"Yes, I have to thank you, brother Earthling! There was a problem with my spaceship, including the nutrient tank for repair, but you repaired the spacecraft, including the nutrient tank. When you discovered the spacecraft, I could hardly hold on. , the damage to the nutrient tank is even worse. I have to say, this surprised me. I thought that the intelligent creatures on the earth only have the lowest level of intelligence. Well, of course, I don’t mean to insult you. Believe me, this was just before I came. misunderstanding."
"...You don't understand the earth, how can you speak Chinese?"
Halahal laughter rang in his mind, "No, I don't speak any earth language. You can understand me, including I can understand you, just because we are all communicating with spiritual power. I Anything you say goes directly into your head into a language you understand.”
"Am I also using my mental power to communicate with you?" Xiao Mo said doubtfully.
"Brother, are you kidding me? You used your mental power to repair and open the spaceship. Now you also use your mental power when speaking. Moreover, you also have a strange but thorough mental power protection net that prevents me from peeking into your brain. Memory, but you actually said you didn’t know you could use mental power?”
Xiao Mo was immediately alert and regretted greatly at the same time. Did this Zerbiyan mistakenly think that he was some kind of spiritual master when he told him this? Now that he knows he knows next to nothing about psychic powers, what will he do
"Are you scared? No, no, no! I can't read your brain, but I can feel your emotions. Please don't be afraid, earthling brothers. According to the interstellar convention, no intelligent creature can actively harm or attack itself. There are no intelligent beings that violate interstellar law.”
Really, but you come to the earth and plunder it in the name of fun. Xiao Mo didn't say this. It seemed that if he didn't say it, the other party wouldn't know.
The Zerbeiya seemed to have guessed what Xiao Mo was thinking. This was something that was easy to guess. He said in an apologetic and extremely angry tone: "Don't you know we are coming? Those damn six-armed people People! They deceived us! This is not the primitive planet mentioned in the game promotion at all. As soon as we arrived, we were attacked by your protective net in the atmosphere... Believe me, I am not complaining about you. Who would welcome uninvited guests? And we are not guests but robbers.”
Xiao Mo thought that this Zerbeiya man should be very young, maybe just an adult? Is your personality more out-of-the-box
"Game?" Xiao Mo asked pretending not to know.
"Yes, Yugi! My God, Zheer, this is the conspiracy of those insidious six-armed people! They use us as cannon fodder and as testing tools! Maybe there are some resources that the six-armed people need on your planet, but They couldn't break through your planetary defense net, so they simply tricked a group of people to help them break through. When I go back, I will definitely sue Peanuts Game Company until it goes bankrupt! But, damn, they must have thought of this a long time ago, not only They tricked us into signing a preliminary confidentiality contract, and also tricked us into signing a liability exemption contract! Well, this is the best evidence of greed. If we were not attracted by their publicity, we thought we could get a lot of good things... "
The young man from Zerbea cursed himself several times and continued to say to Xiao Mo: "Hey, brother, either you can help us, or simply use the entire earth civilization as the plaintiff, and I will help you testify against the actions of Peanuts Game Company. It's an invasion. How about we share half of the compensation we win in the lawsuit? Well, this must be an invasion. I feel like you don't even know we're coming."
Chance! Xiao Mo's heart beat faster and he shouted in his heart, but he did not immediately believe that the alien would really help the earth. He only asked as steadily as possible: "What is going on? Can you tell me?"
"Of course." The young man from Zerbia said without any concealment.
"When the Peanuts Game Company promoted players and adventurers, it said that it had discovered a strange planet and suspected that civilization had once appeared. However, the planet seemed to have been almost destroyed due to natural disasters or wars. The company said that they discovered The Earth Queen also made some small developments and changes to the Earth, and put in some high-value items to increase the gameplay and call on everyone to come to Taobao. I heard that they also put a portable system on the Earth, which is better than ordinary people. The optical brain is a much more advanced product. There are also some special monsters discovered on other planets, and they have also been put on the earth, saying that the earth's environment is particularly suitable for transformation into a hunting ground. In short, adventure games like this are very popular in all major galaxies. Similar to □□, it is very popular with players who like to find excitement and strong people who are constantly seeking breakthroughs. Some mercenary teams even make a living from it."
"The company didn't mention that there are intelligent creatures on earth?"
"I mentioned it, but they just said very simply that they suspected indigenous people. Well, we thought that they had obtained permission from the indigenous people, or that the indigenous people on the earth were not very intelligent and civilized. For example, if you went to visit a primitive forest, you would go first Ask the savages living inside if they agree? Brother, don’t be angry. I’m not saying you are savages. We are indeed wrong in this regard. Such adventure games are not completely legal, but... well, if you know the earth There are intelligent beings with such high mental power who can repair our Zerbeian spaceship... You simply amaze me! Are other people on earth the same as you? If so, then this is a scam! Peanuts Game Company also Violated several interstellar laws and interstellar peace treaties.”
The young man from Zerbia suddenly screamed: "God Zerbia! If this is the case, those six-armed people will definitely not let us go back alive."
Xiao Mo said nothing. The young man from Zerbia misunderstood it because they were almost completely wiped out by the lightning cloud. If they successfully enter the earth, even if they find people on earth, even if they think this is wrong, there will still be many people who ignore it. At most, some "kind players" will not take the initiative to harm people on earth.
So how to take advantage of the Zerbeians’ misunderstanding? How can this misconception be exploited to save the planet
"Do all people who come to Earth get the same information?" Xiao Mo asked, holding back his anger.
"No, games are generally divided into closed beta, public beta and official opening. The players and adventurers who enter the earth in the closed beta should be people within the Peanuts Game Company, or have a closer relationship with them. They have more information than us. .We are considered public beta players..."
The young man from Zerbea didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "We only really believed in the existence of such a planet after seeing the promotional pictures and images sent back by the first batch of closed beta players, and the credibility of Peanuts Game Company It's also very high... Wait, if the images they gave are true, how did they enter the earth? Didn't you open the protective net at that time? "
Xiao Mo's heart moved and he blurted out: "No, when the first batch of invaders came in, we didn't notice it, so we didn't open the protective net. After all, it not only consumes energy, but also affects the normal life of us people on earth. But in After the first batch of closed beta players you mentioned, the invaders we identified entered the earth and wreaked havoc, we had to open the earth’s protective net.”
"I see." The young man from Zerbia seemed to understand it completely. "I just asked Peanuts Game Company how could they have the guts to trick so many people? I'm afraid they don't know that you have such a powerful protective layer."
"No, they know." Xiao Mo thought that since he had misunderstood, let's let the misunderstanding become a fact.
"You said they knew?" The young man's tone changed slightly.
"Yes, after the invaders entered the earth, we fought to the death and obtained a spacecraft and the portable system you mentioned. After we cracked it, we learned that the six-armed man you mentioned was to form the protection of our earth's protective layer. God is coming!”
The young man from Zerbia was silent.
Xiao Mo didn't want to give him a chance to doubt or waver, so he settled on the facts again, "What do you think, why did Peanut Game Company go out of their way to develop the Earth across such a long distance? Since they decided to develop the Earth, would they not conduct a thorough investigation of the Earth? "
"...You said that your patron saint forms your planet's protective network?"
"right."
"What exactly is your patron saint?"
"I can't tell you. You can ask those six-armed people for details. They will definitely know, and it will definitely be of great benefit to them."
"If what you say is true, how could they say it."
"Even if they don't explain, you should be able to tell from their movements." When Xiao Mo said this, he didn't know that the Peanut Group had sent a warship and was now in outer space.
"If the six-armed people are really for your patron saint, then why do they disclose this planet to the players?" Even if the young man from Zerbia shouted that this was a conspiracy, it was only out of anger that he almost died. , in fact, I am not really sure.
Xiao Mo has already thought of the answer: "I think it's because those six-armed people have no way to capture our protector, and maybe they are still making sure, and one of the ways to make sure is through your reaction. Are you and those six-armed people Are people different?"
The young man from Zerbia seemed to be shaken by something. Xiao Mo felt that he could vaguely feel the other person's emotions. He turned his eyes to the light body and wondered if it was because of contact with this light body that the two of them were Only when can we have spiritual communication
Xiao Mo deliberately said in a doubtful tone: "You just said that I used mental power, right? In other words, you are good at using mental power?"
"Ah!" The young man from Zerbia seemed to have finally figured it out, "So that's it, that's it! Maybe your patron saint is also mentally powerful, otherwise we wouldn't have been almost completely wiped out when we passed through the protective layer. I couldn't help it at that time. Resist the other party's consciousness shock and mental intrusion. I understand! I understand it completely! Peanuts Game Company will call us over because they found that their six-armed people cannot capture your patron saint through force, so they gave us the idea In order to prevent us from being suspicious and to prevent the secret from leaking, they simply attracted many people in the name of the game. Good! What a trick! It’s so vicious!”
"Thank you. You also made me understand what this brutal invasion that almost caused the entire civilization of the earth to collapse was about. Those six-armed people, and the Peanut Group are so abominable and vicious!"
At this point in the conversation between the two, it seems that the truth of the matter has been revealed.
For a while, neither of them spoke, each other digesting the information they had just received.
Xiao Mo made it clear that the young man from Zerbia should have a good rest, and he also needed to tell his companions the truth he had just learned.
The young man from Zerbia was also very tired and said that he really needed to rest for a long time. At this time, he was not afraid that Xiao Mo and the people on earth would hurt him. After all, he thought that if the people on earth wanted to sue the Peanut Group, they would also need him as a direct witness to testify about the true aggression of the Peanut Group under the guise of a game.
After Xiao Mo went out, he pulled Xue Lihong away to talk.
Xue Lihong just listened to half of it. He could only hear Xiao Mo's voice, but he also made a rough guess.
After Xiao Mo finished explaining the conversation between him and the Zerbeians, Xue Lihong inserted her fingers into his hair, grabbed him and kissed him.
"You're great! Coping with it brilliantly."
Xiao Mo blushed at the praise and concealed it: "Actually, there is another problem. The Zerbeians may have mistakenly thought that the level of superpowers of people on earth is similar to mine, that is, everyone can use mental power and have Technology to repair the Zerbiyan spacecraft. If he learns about it later... "
"Did the Zerbeians see how you repaired his spaceship?"
Xiao Mo recalled, "According to what the other party said, he probably became conscious after I repaired the nutrition tank of the spacecraft. He had already entered a state of frequent death before."
"That is to say, he didn't know that you used supernatural powers to repair the spacecraft, and mistakenly thought that you had this technology."
"right."
"Don't worry about this. I think that even in advanced civilizations, not everyone is a technical worker. They should be the same as the people on earth. Most of them just have a wider range of knowledge than the people on earth. That is, most of them are ordinary people, and the elites are just A small part. Even if the Zerbeians find out later that not all people on Earth are like you, we can use individual elites as an excuse, and by the way, we can also explain that this is the reason why we have not been recognized by interstellar civilization. And the patron saint, Earth Only certain people are qualified to know about the protective net."
Xiao Mo felt relieved, but at the same time he couldn't help but wonder what kind of qualifications were needed to be recognized by interstellar civilization, so he casually asked the system.
His Majesty replied: "The criteria for judging the level of a civilization are based on three points: history, overall strength, and personal strength. As long as two of them meet the requirements, you can be upgraded.
History refers to the history of the development of civilization. Generally speaking, there are four processes, that is, the budding period of civilization, the period of satisfying food and clothing, the period of breakthrough development of science and technology or strength, and the period of leaving the planet and having the ability to explore the universe. Usually civilizations with a relatively complete history of development are more moral and peace-loving. Those with more fragments of civilization are usually more warlike. The more complete the history of civilization development, the higher the possibility of being recognized by interstellar civilization.
The overall strength, according to the situation on the earth, can be understood as technological strength.
Personal strength depends on whether the individual is strong or not. For example, if there are more than ten people in the earth civilization who can reach or surpass the highest strength of the first-level civilization, then as long as the earth civilization has a certain development history, or the scientific and technological power can break through the earth, Then the civilization on earth can be promoted to the first level civilization.
In fact, according to historical and overall strength conditions, the earth has reached the first-level civilization standard, but it has not been discovered and recognized by interstellar civilization. "
"So now that we have the chance to be discovered, we are just short of being recognized?" Xiao Mo smiled bitterly.
System: "Yes."
Xiao Mo clenched his fist and turned to ask Xue Lihong, "What should we do now? How on earth are we going to use the Zerbeians?"
Xue Lihong: "You can ask your system, His Majesty, if this matter can be successfully sued according to the Zerbia people's statement, and whether it can solve the earth's predicament."
Xiao Mo subconsciously looked at his wrist again.
The system hummed: "It's possible. But there are two difficulties that must be solved before that."
"What two points?" Xiao Mo asked immediately.
System: "The first difficulty is how to transmit information through the interstellar network. If there were no lightning clouds, this would not be a problem at all. The Zerbeians must have interstellar network link ports in their spaceships, but now we have lightning clouds."
"The second difficulty is that the Peanut Group will definitely hinder the transmission of information. They must have discovered the changes in the earth, and they will definitely deduce that some players know the truth. Even if there is no so-called truth, they must beware of the surviving players uniting with the people on earth to fight against They filed a lawsuit. Just now, the Zerbeians have said that all players have signed a liability exemption contract, so they have no way to sue the company based on game losses. If they want the Peanut Group to compensate them for their losses, unless they and The people on earth have united and used aggression as an excuse. So even if we can break through the lightning clouds, the Peanut Group will definitely intercept the information we send out. Just like the people on earth can block mobile phone signals, they can also block interstellar network signals."
Xiao Mo pondered for a moment and said: "We can wait and see, or try to get as close to the sky as possible when a certain lightning cloud disperses to see if we can pass on the message."
The system feels that just waiting is unrealistic.
Xue Lihong said: "It's not difficult to break out of the lightning clouds. What's difficult is how to deal with the inevitable attacks from the Peanut Group."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Mo and the system asked at the same time.
Xue Lihong explained: "You all think that it is difficult for us to get close to lightning clouds, because the spacecraft will stop as long as it is close to high altitude, right? But for us... To be precise, for Lao Xiao, this is not a problem."
"Oh?" Xiao Mo didn't understand.
Xue Lihong looked at him: "Do you still remember what I told you, asking you to try your best to communicate with the light spot?"
"You mean you want me to convince the light spots in my heart, and then let it convince the light spots in the sky, so that we can break out of the lightning clouds? But I simply..."
Xue Lihong raised her hand, "I didn't think of it before, but after you talked to the Zerbeians, I suddenly thought that maybe your guess was not wrong. The light spots can actually communicate with spiritual power."
"ah!"
"So before our plan starts, you must do one thing first, and that is to master the training and use of mental power. It doesn't matter even if my inference is wrong, it will always be good for you to learn one more ability."
Xiao Mo immediately asked the system: "Your Majesty, do you know how to train and use mental power?"
His Majesty the System suggested: "The best mental training methods and usage methods that I know are in the hands of the Zerbia people, at least this is the case for the fourth-level civilization and below that I know."
"You asked me to ask the Zerbeians for advice? But will they agree? This should be their unique secret skill, right?"
"No, just like humans can make and use tools, if a savage came to ask for advice on how to make tools, wouldn't you teach them? I'm not saying that you can get the other party's core spiritual power cultivation method in one fell swoop, Zheer The Beiyaren family is different, and the core spiritual power cultivation method is also slightly different, but what you need now is just an introductory method, just let them tell you how to turn trees into wood, and how to turn wood into the tools you need. And it’s just about how to use the tools. Zerbia won’t care about this most basic knowledge. Of course, if you want him to teach you, you also need him to like you, and the easiest way is to make him like you. The way to do that is to show him favor, and we have a great opportunity right now.”
Seeing that Xiao Mo seemed to be thinking, Xue Lihong rubbed his head and whispered: "Don't think too complicatedly."
"Yeah." Xiao Mo organized his thoughts and tried to simplify things.
According to the discussion between the three of them, in order to solve the Earth's predicament, the approximate order of things to be done is as follows:
1. Rescue the Zerbeians in exchange for teaching him how to practice spiritual power.
2. After learning how to use mental power, try to communicate with the green light spot in the heart.
3. Use green light points to bribe (persuad) other light points in the lightning clouds so that the spacecraft can leave the earth. Before doing this, try to transmit the information through the interstellar network, but more than 99% of the time it will be intercepted by the Peanut Group.
4. After breaking through the lightning clouds, find a way to break through the blockade of the Peanut Group, get rid of the other party's pursuit, and at the same time sue the other party for invasion through the interstellar network. -The difficulty in this article is how to break through the blockade of the Peanut Group. Maybe the Zerbeians have a way
5. Prevent the Peanut Group from doing nothing and blowing up the earth directly in order to destroy evidence. - Regarding this point, we must find a way to confuse the Peanut Group. It is best to make them believe that the earth wants to take refuge and there is a way to help them capture the light spots.
Xiao Mo told Xiaohong and His Majesty the system the order he had sorted out and the problems that had to be solved.
Xue Lihong said: "Let's do it step by step. You first treat the Zerbia people and see how much we can dig out of him."
