Li Lai is a wind elementalist with a strength close to two stars. He has recently been promoted to lieutenant colonel. This time, he will escort 10 elemental teachers to Lanyue City.
He has followed the escort to and from Lanyue City three times, so he understands the dangers of this journey.
When he saw that among the people assigned to him, in addition to ten elemental masters who were barely able to see, there were also nearly a hundred "heroes" who felt that even a three-year-old child couldn't compare to him, his face could be imagined.
He went to Admiral Joyce to report, but the order he got was to bring all these "heroes" with him!
The only good news is that he doesn't have to care about the lives of these "heroes", as long as he escorts the ten teachers to Lanyue City, and then returns the same way.
Admiral Joyce said that there is no other way, Lieutenant Colonel Li Lai had no choice but to leave angrily with another lieutenant colonel who came with him.
The lieutenant colonel also led the task, and he will lead the escort team to Lihai City.
Looking at the backs of the two lieutenant colonels leaving, Admiral Joyce looked at the controller sitting in front of the monitor with a dark face.
"Start monitoring follow."
"As ordered!"
Following Admiral Joyce's order, two bee-shaped flight monitors took off from the base camp and headed towards Lanyue City and Lihai City respectively.
These two flight monitors were sent from the imperial city a few days ago, and they are high-tech from aliens.
The shape of the bee is only the size of the fingernail of an adult index finger. It is extremely concealed and can fly tens of thousands of kilometers in the wild.
Its own super signal transmitting equipment will not be affected by distance, can stably transmit the picture back, and can absorb sunlight as energy, so there is no need to worry about energy shortage.
After the initial debugging and adaptation, it has been flexibly used in military operations.
With these two flight monitors, the front-line army is like an extra pair of eyes, and it can know the situation ahead and make better action plans.
This undoubtedly improves operational efficiency and greatly reduces unnecessary casualties.
In this escort mission, two bee monitors will also participate, and the information will be transmitted immediately, and the headquarters will process the information and transmit it to the two leaders.
Seeing the figures of the group of brave men appearing on the surveillance screen, Admiral Joyce's face became gloomy again, and the whole person was shrouded in low air pressure.
His request was rejected by the Marshal, and he was merciless - if he continued to insist on keeping the brave at the base, the commander's position would be replaced.
He had no doubt that if he really said one more sentence, the Marshal would remove him.
Although Si Sheng is young, he is the patron saint of the Roland Empire and the soul of this entire army, and is not something that Admiral Joyce can defy.
Therefore, Admiral Joyce had to hold back.
He couldn't watch his subordinates die, the only thing he won was to ignore the safety of those brave men.
You can even give up when necessary.
Looking at the brave heroes who were still smiling and smiling in the surveillance video, a bit of disgust flashed in Admiral Joyce's eyes.
He will let the little majesty know that the weak are the weak, and they should stay in their position honestly, instead of interfering at will and causing trouble for others!
Players do not know they are being monitored.
After seeing their leader and fellow elite soldiers on the square, they followed their respective teams and boarded the military shuttle again.
The shuttle took off slowly and passed through the city wall.
At the moment of passing through the city gate, the barrier guarding the circle opened a hole, and quickly closed after they passed.
Then, the shuttle began to sink, almost close to the ground, flying all the way forward.
After three years of hard work, the front-line army has cleared out the interstellar beasts on the southern border and pushed the border forward a few kilometers.
However, the guardian circle cannot expand outward, so although the ground is safe, the sky is still not guaranteed, so the shuttle can only fly close to the ground, so as not to provoke the air overlord.
"The modeling of this game is really amazing!"
Several female players gathered together and whispered to each other, their eyes fell on the one hundred elite soldiers on the opposite side, a few pairs of star eyelid kapika.
They are all ready to go, although not all of them are handsome, but their mighty and masculine fierceness and the discipline they show are inexplicably shocking.
"Lieutenant Colonel Li Lai is so handsome!"
"I didn't expect that he is also a lieutenant colonel in the starry sky, woohoo, I didn't get him before, but now I see the real person, and he is really handsome!"
"Is Li Lai also a god's card? Why am I not impressed?"
"Yes, it's a white card. He is an officer who likes to cook. There are bonuses for running restaurants."
"… "
Li Lai, who was standing in the front row of the team, had an expressionless face, but if you look closely, you can see his clenched teeth and the faintly bulging blue veins on his forehead.
Although he was mentally prepared, the discipline of this group of heroes was still so bad that he wanted to beat people.
What did they think it was for? Outing
As a result, the twitter players quickly received a notification of falling favorability.
[Ding ~ [Li Lai]'s favorability for you has decreased by 1000, and he is already in the [disgust] range. He may attack you at any time, please be careful]
Holy crap, a drop is 1000 favorability? !
Light face is also ugly.
She didn't do anything this time, and was discussing the next strategy with several professional gods. How could she reduce her favoritism to her
After inquiring, she found that everyone lost a thousand, and she should have been seated.
It looks like this...
Or her home Li Zhecheng! For things not for people, whoever offends him loses his favor, and will not implicate others.
Lightly slandered, but finally remembered to restrain players in the team channel.
She whispered: "This is an epic mission, everyone cheers up, no one wants to fail the mission, right?"
"Just treat it as role-playing. We are soldiers now. Look at the NPC soldiers next door. We will do what they do. Then don't desert, and obey the command."
Qingyan was still very prestigious, and the eighty players suddenly quieted down, restrained their sloppy behavior, and their attitudes were much more correct.
Li Lai glanced at everyone.
He didn't know why these brave men suddenly became serious, but it didn't affect his perception of them.
Seeing that they finally settled down, he didn't waste any more time, but started talking about this action.
"This time, we will escort ten Elementalist teachers to Lanyue City and set up an Elementalist branch in Lanyue City. This way, we don't need to escort the children to the Imperial City this year."
This is actually good news for them, of course, if these brave people are not involved.
"When we reach the front line, the shuttle will no longer be available. At that time, we need to walk to Lanyue City, which is expected to take seven days."
"Within seven days, we must arrive at Lanyue City."
"Because the rations and materials we carry can only last for seven days, if we cannot reach Lanyue City for seven days, we will be in a huge predicament."
Hearing this, the players suddenly realized a very serious problem - this task should last for a week!
If the NPC team leaves while they are offline, they will be left in place and the mission will fail!
But they are not NPCs. Although the game cabin is supplemented with nutrient solution, it is not enough to support them for so long.
Besides professional players, who can play games day and night every day? This task is too unreasonable! Never thought about letting the player finish it
in the palace.
Xu Sili looked at the content returned by the flight monitor—this was the instrument he purchased and sent to the front line, and a monitoring point was also set up in the darkroom.
After hearing Li Lai's words, he finally realized that something was wrong.
This is indeed a very large loophole with a lot of restrictions on players, but...
If the player's mission fails, he will fail. As long as Li Lai and the others can successfully reach Lanyue City and Lihai City, there is no difference to him.
However, you still have to increase the stakes and let players work hard to complete the task.
He opens the task editor and organizes the language.
Just when the players flinched a little, a prompt suddenly appeared in front of them.
[Ding ~ Successfully triggered the elite task [Elementalist Branch Lanyue City]]
[Description: This is a branch task of the epic mission [Elementalist Branch], please escort ten Elementalist teachers to Lanyue City, and establish an Elementalist Branch (0/10)]
[Quest reward: a lot of experience points, reputation, land construction order (fragment)*1]
At this moment, not only the Imperial City players, but also the players from Lanyue City and Lihai City who reached level 5, also received the elite missions corresponding to the main city.
When they saw the description of the land construction order, everyone was boiling.
[Land Construction Order (Shards): Collect 50 pieces, you can exchange a piece of land in the camp warehouse for the construction of the mercenary group’s territory]
What the hell!
Mercenary territory? Does this mean that the guild resides
Although the guild does not even have a shadow, after all, it is only now in the closed beta, but this does not hinder the excitement and enthusiasm of the players.
This is baby!
Anyone who has played the game can understand the value of this thing. Even if you don't join the guild, this resident order fragment can be sold for a good price.
After all, with the potential shown in Starry Sky Era, this resident will definitely not worry about the fragments being sold!
The Lanyue Lihai City players who were complaining at first shut up at this moment. After all, they don't seem to need to contribute to get the quest reward
Of course, except for those players who haven't reached lv5 yet.
And the players who have not yet received the quest in the Star City, are beginning to rejoice—maybe they can also get a share of the pie later? Now you have to hurry up and do daily tasks to upgrade!
The impact of the residency order is huge, and the players' spirits have risen to a new level.
Originally, most of the 162 players were professional players. Although they had to spend seven days and nights in the game, the difficulty was not that big, but…
Resident Order Fragments!
Just now, they have received news from their respective clubs one after another - no matter what, they must complete the task and get the resident order fragments!
A few of them waved their hands and offered extremely generous rewards very decisively.
It's no wonder that the club attaches so much importance to it, because the closed beta has only been opened for a week, and "Starry Era" has swept the major game evaluation websites, video websites and the largest social software hot search list in a slaughtered manner.
Holographic games have been remembered by people for many years. In fact, there have been some in the past few years, but the quality is generally poor, and it has not caused any waves.
But "Starry Era" is different. Its technology is absolutely the world's top, and it is even hard for people to believe that the video of the starry sky is not a false propaganda shot in the later stage.
Until more and more internal beta players broadcast live, and more and more high-quality videos appear, netizens have to believe that this holographic game is for real!
This alone is enough to detonate the enthusiasm of game lovers.
Of course, the only shortcoming of Star Era at present is that the game cabin is too expensive! Moreover, the restriction of one person and one cabin has also greatly caused persuasion to quit.
However, if a cheaper game helmet can be released during the public beta, I believe this problem can be well resolved.
And now, those clubs with forward-looking eyes have already begun to seize game resources.
The guild residency is something that must be won!
The players are gearing up and excited for inexplicable, isn't it just seven days? Liver!
Anyway, the body is in a dormant state in the game cabin, there is no risk of sudden death, and according to the NPC's settings, they definitely need to rest and eat in the middle of the game, so they can go offline during that time.
Resident Order Fragments! Must get it!
Looking at the players' big eyes that became extremely bright, and the excited expressions on their faces, Li Lai thought... This group of brave men may have a disease in their brains.
With a sigh in his heart, suppressing his worries about the future journey, he continued to explain.
"Between the Imperial City and Lanyue City, the most dangerous ones are the Asmo Mountains and the Niria River. By crossing these two natural dangers, 80% of our mission has been completed."
Li Lai said solemnly: "The Asmo Mountains are densely covered with jungles, and there are countless aggressive plants and one or two star beasts growing in them."
A light screen appeared beside him, and various interstellar beasts that had been detected so far continued to appear in the light screen.
"Even, we have recently detected the traces of the Samsung beast."
In the picture, a huge figure appeared.
According to Li Lai's explanation, this is a three-star beast called a rock beast, which can disguise as a huge mountain rock, which is difficult to detect with the naked eye.
This was also detected by the flight monitor.
The soldiers listened carefully, even though the information was usually memorized by them.
And the players have also restrained all the rambling, this information can greatly improve the task completion rate, and they naturally attach importance to it.
Some people even started recording, and Anazi had already started live broadcasting.
Now most people in the forum are watching her live broadcast, and then frantically discussing this mission, even players from other main cities also participated and helped to make suggestions.
The worst this time is probably the closed beta players in the two main cities of Mushuang and Lanxing.
Some people have already ridiculed in the forum - the Imperial City player is the son of the planner, Lan Yuelihai picked it up, and Mu Shuang and Lan Xing are probably the old king next door.
However, after the new elite task came out, everyone has a higher awareness - the one who earnestly does daily leveling up is the real son!
Benefits may be late, but never absent.
This also further triggered the enthusiasm of novice players to do daily activities during the public beta, but it is too early to say these.
Soon in the forum, a great god sorted out all the interstellar beasts mentioned by Li Lai. After being seen by Qingyan, he directly asked his teammates to share it.
This is the advantage of the game's embedded forum, the information of the forum can be used directly in the game.
Some people have experimented before, because of the level difference, they can rarely detect the information of NPC.
However, if the player downloads the information compiled by the forum, the system can automatically detect and display the NPC information with the highest matching degree in the database.
This setting is very interesting, and it also greatly satisfies the hobbies of the players of the textual research party-everyone uses the information they have compiled, what could be more inspiring than this
Li Lai was still explaining, he didn't just tell the brave men, but also the ten teachers.
As an elementalist, although the combat power is not strong, if you know this information in advance, you may be able to provide some help at critical moments.
"The Neria River is the second hurdle. The width of the entire river reaches thousands of meters. There are countless river beasts in the water. The largest one has been observed, with a length of about 400 meters."
On the light curtain, an image of a river beast appeared. It looked like a fish, but its size was magnified countless times.
"Of course, we don't need to go into the water."
Li Lai said, "Above the Neria River, there is a huge bridge that survived a hundred years ago. Now there are only two iron locks left. We can use these two iron locks to cross over."
"It's this silver flying fish that we need to watch out for when crossing the Neria."
A picture appears.
"This kind of flying fish has roughly thick and long arms and is not very aggressive, but it will jump out of the river and smash the prey on the river into the water."
"In addition to these two dangerous places, there are other difficult environments. I hope everyone is mentally prepared."
Li Lai's face was calm, and he spoke at a slow pace, giving people a feeling of trustworthiness.
"When encountering an attack by an interstellar beast, we must not fight unless we have to, because once we are held back, we may fall into a desperate situation of being besieged by countless interstellar beasts."
"At that time, no one can save us."
"Remember, our goal of action is to advance, advance, advance at the fastest speed! No matter how strong or weak the star beast encountered is, don't be disturbed."
"When you are in the wild, you are no longer yourself, but a whole, and you will move your whole body. Before doing anything, think about your teammates."
At this time, the shuttle slowly landed—they had reached the real frontier, and it was no longer suitable to use the aircraft further.
Li Lai asked the soldiers and elemental teachers to go down to the ground first, but the players were left behind by him.
After everyone else left, his eyes fell on the players.
At this moment, the players have long since restrained their attitudes, for fear that the team leader would be unhappy and kick them out of the team.
Starry sky's NPCs are too intelligent, you can't use ordinary NPCs to guess.
However, their impression of Li Lai was too bad.
He swept over everyone one by one, and his voice became stern, "I have no other requirements for the brave men, I just hope you don't make trouble!"
"I don't understand why Your Majesty insists on letting you take part in such a dangerous mission, and I don't know why the Marshal and the Admiral would agree."
"But in my opinion, your strength is completely insufficient!"
Li Lai said bluntly, "You are as fragile as a three-year-old child, and even a three-year-old child is stronger than you. Your participation makes me feel deeply disturbed."
His words made all the players take a breath, and even Buddhist players like Su Mo couldn't help frowning.
They were actually despised by NPCs!
And Li Lai didn't realize it, he continued: "I know you may not agree, but this is the truth."
"I don't know what special ability you have that can make you smile when faced with such a dangerous task, without any sense of crisis!"
"I hope you can at least be obedient. I will save your lives as much as possible, so that you don't die in vain on the road and become the nourishment of the interstellar beasts."
"But at a time of crisis, I can't guarantee that the decision to abandon you will be made."
"It's still too late to withdraw voluntarily. If you take the initiative, I believe that His Majesty and the Marshal will not embarrass you."
Li Lai's remarks can be said to be sincere and sincere, but the players listened with strange expressions.
Admittedly, it was frustrating to be despised, but the leader didn't seem mean-spirited.
but…
It's impossible to quit, even if you're dead skinned, you have to keep up with the team!
"Lieutenant Colonel Li Lai, you don't have to worry about this. If there is any danger, just run away. Don't worry about us!"
"That's right, don't do stupid things like sacrificing your companions to save us!"
"Yes, yes, your lives are the most important. Of course, if any of us die, we hope to take our bodies with us if we have spare energy..."
Although they can be resurrected from the dead, if the team leaves, they will also be left behind.
Players can say that there is one less death. Unless they bring their bodies, they will be a hero again after 30 minutes!
Li Lai looked at these brave men, and once again felt that their brains were sick.
He has already said the good and the bad, and if they don't listen, there is nothing he can do.
It's useless to talk too much, Li Lai stopped talking nonsense, but let someone send the equipment over, and then distribute it.
Each player was given the same armor as a soldier and a laser gun, and when they touched the gun, all players were as excited as children.
But soon, Li Lai realized the problem.
Will these brave men shoot
There is a training room at the border base, and the expected departure time is also the next morning, so he then led the players to do the test.
The results soon came out - only half of these brave men were barely able to meet the standard, and the others were all not up to the standard! This is still a target, if you shoot mobile, it is estimated that the result will be even worse!
Li Lai's face was so dark that it couldn't be darker. He didn't say anything. He directly confiscated the laser guns of the half of the players and replaced them with short blades of cold weapons.
He was so worried that these guys would shoot his teammates!
Players in the same team are not expected to be hit, but NPCs are hard to say. After all, even now, Li Lai is an attackable target.
Therefore, although the players were reluctant to bear laser guns, they also obediently replaced them with cold weapons.
Anyway, armor and weapons are already unexpected joys. Many people can't help but feel that epic tasks are different.
Looking at the cloud players watching the live broadcast, they couldn't help but feel like a lemon.
This armor and weapons add up to 2,000 reputation! They are so sour...
Jianyu Xingchen put on the armor, and then gestured with the laser gun to the player who had changed to the cold weapon, his face was full of pride.
Hehe, he is a master of CS!
Shooting a target is trivial~ Looking at Su Mo who put away the laser gun next to him, he couldn't help but deplore: "Boss, your armor changed too early! What a pity..."
A thousand reputation! It can be exchanged for two thousand Aixue coins, it hurts to think about it.
Su Mo rolled his eyes.
What a pity.
The exchanged armor is bound, but the one issued by the army is not, he can take it back and give it to Chiyu.
It would be great if I could get an invisible helmet, since Chi Yu runs on the construction site all day, safety helmets are quite necessary.
That night, the players settled in the temporary base built by the border line, and in the early morning of the next day, they would set off for Lanyue City.
Qingyan and Lin Mu set up a temporary channel to exchange information together and discuss the next actions, while some players went offline to deal with real things, and at the same time prepare for staying online for the next seven days.
I have to say, seven days and seven nights, thinking about it is still enough.
Hua followed the people around him out of tune. He found a corner by himself and was about to go offline when he heard a familiar voice.
"Are you Hua Sui?"
He looked sideways and found that it was Lieutenant Colonel Li Lai.
The young man looked at him indifferently.
This week has been life-threatening for him, and no one knows how he made it through the boot camp.
He couldn't die, and his sense of reality couldn't be lowered. Even if he was offline, the training time would not be reduced. He had to actually train for fifteen days in the boot camp before he could be considered to have completed this elite mission!
Li Zhecheng is really ruthless. The NPC he hates most now is him, except for Ham.
When he becomes stronger, sooner or later, Li Zhecheng will look good!
As for abandonment? That doesn't exist.
Want to beat him with such a small setback? Huh, no way!
Hua Sui looked at Li Lai with an indifferent expression.
He still doesn't have a good opinion of NPCs now, but he has to say that the life in the military camp during this period has made him still have a little affection for the army.
Devil Ham is very annoying, but because he is young, his NPC comrades take good care of him, and even make him feel sincere and warm even in reality.
However, it was limited to a handful of NPCs.
Li Lai walked to Hua Sui and looked him up and down.
The thin and weak young man looked nothing special. It was unimaginable that he could complete the most difficult recruit training and persisted for almost a week.
"Hamm just contacted me and he said you were special."
Li Lai said, "I hope you don't let me down, this mission... just live well."
With that, he handed him a laser gun.
Hua Sui frowned and didn't answer.
"Take it," Li Lai said. "This gun was given to me by Ham before, and now it's yours."
"He asked you to give it to me?" Hua Sui finally said.
Li Lai shook his head.
"He didn't say that, but I understand what he meant. You are a good seedling. I hope you can grow up and serve the empire together in the future."
He stuffed the gun into Hua Sui, patted him on the shoulder, then turned and left.
[Radium Shine 3000]
Description: The ninth generation laser gun, produced in Flanda Star Federation, standard equipment
Quality: silver
Effect: Each hit will cause 1500-2000 points of physical damage, 500-1000 points of light damage, with a 5% crit damage bonus
Durability: 90
Energy: 100%
Owner: Hamm
This is actually a silver equipment, which is one grade higher than the bronze equipment of other players. The maximum damage is also a thousand more, and it also comes with a crit damage bonus.
At the current stage, it can be regarded as a god outfit.
Hua Sui pursed her lips and her eyes were slightly red.
Damn, why are you doing such a superfluous thing? Working together for the Empire? Stop being so fucking funny!
He pouted, but when he looked at the gun, he couldn't help but sighed, and then carefully hid it in his arms.
After a while, his body slowly disappeared in place.
The time soon came to the second day, the escort team was ready to go, and the teacher leader to Lanyue City was Endis.
Before leaving, Professor Belen told her a shocking piece of information and asked her to tell Li Lai.
It's just that she couldn't find a chance to tell him until she set off.
Of course, she was also dubious in her heart, and it was estimated that the commander would not believe it either.
Leaving the frontline base, the team officially entered the wild without any guarantees and began a rapid march.
Li Lai is a level 19 wind elementalist, and in this team, he is the strongest in every aspect.
Before entering the jungle, he blessed everyone with the lightening technique.
The lightening technique is one of the most difficult spells to master among the basic wind spells. He does not think that the half-star wind elementist teacher will master the lightening technique.
Blessing 200 people with body lightening techniques in one breath is inevitably a little stressful for him.
But there is no way. The wind elemental division is one of the five rare element divisions. There are not many wind element divisions in the army, and very few spiritual divisions.
This time, besides him, there is only one 1-star wind-type martial artist in the team, and he cannot bless his teammates with light-weight techniques.
However, when he was about to give the order to set off, the players who had been acting so obediently and obediently couldn't help but speak.
It was a girl who looked weak and weak, and when he said there was any problem, he raised his hand hesitantly.
"You said." Li Lai looked fierce.
The female player couldn't help but tremble. This game is too real, and it's really unfriendly to introverts.
However, with Qingyan's encouragement, she still asked, "That... Lieutenant Colonel, can you teach us the body light technique?"
Li Lai twitched the corners of his mouth, and even Admiral Joyce, who was watching this scene in the headquarters, couldn't help shaking his head.
He knew that these brave men would make a fool of themselves!
Why on earth did His Majesty send them here? Do you want to take this opportunity to exclude dissidents
"Are you a spiritual wind elementist?" Li Lai asked coldly.
Do you think everyone can learn light weight
He felt that it was necessary to give these brave men a disgrace, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the girl nodded, "Well, I am a wind elementist, from the spiritual department."
Then, before he could speak, about ten companions stood up beside her.
"Yes, so do we."
Li Lai blinked, Eleven... all
The Elementalist teachers all looked strange, looking at Lieutenant Colonel Li Lai, they hesitated, and finally Endis said: "Lieutenant Colonel Li Lai, why don't you teach them?"
"The brave...they are very talented."
Li Lai thinks that this one-star elementalist teacher may not have a good brain. No matter how good his talent is, can he still learn to lighten the body in one day
He didn't have that time delay!
However, under the repeated assurances of Endis, he still agreed to teach it again, although he didn't think it would work at all.
Then…
The girl who was talking at the beginning slowly lifted her feet off the ground, and then she jumped lightly and jumped directly to the top of a tree more than ten meters away
Li Lai couldn't believe his eyes.
She... learned? Is it so easy? Is the talent really that strong
And then…
The ten people who just stood up have also learned it!
Seeing the brave men jumping around excitedly in mid-air after learning to lighten the body, Li Lai's eyes widened and he lost his words for a while.
Did he... have some kind of hallucination
Is this scene in front of you real
