"Ding!" A crisp sound from the soul echoed in Xiao Ran's mind, waking him up from the endless darkness.
Slowly opening his eyes, what he saw was a vast, clean and inexplicably sci-fi-like space, about thirty meters high and wide. In the empty space, only Xiao Ran and the holographic projection in front of him were conspicuous. Incomparably, on both sides of this huge space, there are several monitor-like things hanging on the white walls made of unknown materials, showing an endless and vast image of the starry sky.
Xiao Ran's eyes were as wide as lanterns, with a confused look on his face. Anyone who has been sleeping well and wakes up to find that he is not in his own bed, I think, will have the same expression and thoughts: "Where... is this place? Why am I here?"
Before Xiao Ran woke up, a voice that clearly appeared in his ears but could reach deep into his soul rang out:
"Ding, welcome to the cosmic fortress Prometheus."
"Your number is 678."
"The area you are in is the real zone. You can perform real-type mecha missions here and distribute the mission rewards you receive."
"In thirty minutes you will begin to enter the mission world to perform your first mission. This mission is a group novice mission and no senior pilots will participate."
"You have thirty minutes to gain an understanding of this fortress within your authority."
"Your attributes are currently: Hit 2 (2) affects shooting ability and accuracy
Skill 1 (1) affects fighting ability and strength
Reflection 6 (6) affects response speed and sensitivity
Spirit 8 (8) affects skill consumption and perception
Physique 3 (3) affects physical fitness and endurance
(The values in parentheses represent normal values, and the values outside parentheses represent current body values)
Skills: None.
Overall Rating: No rating. "
Xiao Ran, who was a little confused, suddenly froze, his eyes slowly changed from dull to stunned, and then he unconsciously pulled out the corners of his mouth to a huge extent, and his mouth opened wide because of this, especially the blue suit he was wearing. He looks so cute in Doraemon's pajamas and bare feet.
After several minutes, as the thirty minutes passed by, Xiao Ran suddenly slapped himself in the face. The crisp sound and burning pain made him understand that what he was seeing was not a dream, but a dream. It's an inexplicable fact.
"Damn it, the main god space is this?" Xiao Ran raised his head and looked at the smooth ceiling above his head and shouted loudly, with a sense of laughter and laughter in his tone.
The emotionless voice echoed in Xiao Ran's ears: "This is the real area of Prometheus Fortress. It is located at the junction of planes in the universe. It is in two different dimensions from your original world. One is composed of the true master god of the universe. The place that was created, and I am the main system that manages everything about it.”
Xiao Ran never thought that the voice would answer his words, but from the voice's answer, he also learned that this was by no means a real dream, but a cruel fact. Xiao Ran, who was naturally not nervous, felt a little nervous at this time. , being able to pull him from another dimension to this place is something that only gods or aliens with extremely advanced technology can do. No matter who it is, he is definitely not something he can resist or offend.
He stretched out his hand to press his beating heart. There was indeed some panic and fear of the unknown, as well as a trace of excitement that he didn't know where it came from. Xiao Ran asked: "How did I get here."
"A program circulated in a certain galaxy in the universe is a key to Prometheus Fortress. Once you download it to the terminal and open it, you will come to this place."
"Program? Terminal?" Xiao Ran's face suddenly became a little weird. He remembered that he habitually played with his mobile phone before going to bed, and even used his mobile phone to download a program from a certain publishing platform. There was no introduction, just some robot battles. In the game with pictures, there are Gundams, Zakus, and even mechas like Sebasta and Getta.
Xiao Ran, who has been interested in these things since he was a child, downloaded the game immediately. More importantly, Xiao Ran clearly remembered that the number of downloads of that program was a very conspicuous 0, and he even saw after opening the game. Looking at the constantly rotating reading interface, I fell asleep inexplicably, and then came to this place.
Xiao Ran smiled bitterly. It seemed that he had found the reason why he came here. He couldn't blame anyone at all. If he wanted to blame, he could only blame himself for being stupid. If he didn't sleep well at night, he had to use his mobile phone. Bad habit of sleeping.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, especially the hollow feeling in his heart, he looked at the less than fifteen minutes left and forced his thoughts to become clearer: "Is there anyone else in this fortress? Why? Am I the only one here?"
"Prometheus Fortress will gather all those who have used the key from all over a certain galaxy. After you complete the novice mission, you can go to other areas in the real zone to communicate with other people."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows, and this time he sensitively noticed a word - all over the galaxy, which means that there are other people in Prometheus, or even many people, but they are all from different places in the same galaxy. planet. Xiao Ran didn't know what aliens looked like. They could be called humans, and they must not be much different from Earthlings.
But where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and there are strong people and weak people in the rivers and lakes. Xiao Ran regarded this sentence he learned from the game as the truth. After seeing the attributes appearing in the virtual projection in front of him, he asked: "What class do my attributes belong to in this place? I mean among the newcomers."
"You belong to the primary technological planet Earth in the Real Zone. Your planet's technological and physical development are far inferior to other planets in the same region that can receive keys. It is completely normal to have low attributes and no skills."
Xiao Ran felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat. The inexplicable voice's answer seemed to be wrong, but it definitely explained his current situation to him in detail.
"What are the basic attributes of other people? Are there any other people on earth?" Xiao Ran asked repeatedly: "You just mentioned the mecha mission. Is the pilot attribute related to this? You mentioned the real zone several times. Are there other areas besides the real area?"
"In Prometheus Fortress, the average attributes of newcomers in the real zone are between 15 and 20. It is not ruled out that newcomers with high attributes will appear. Most people will activate one or two skills." The inexplicable voice was emotionless. , but there was also some doubt at this time: "Logically speaking, it is almost impossible for someone like you to open the key to get here, so you are the only exception in the entire Prometheus Fortress."
He had a one in six billion chance of winning the lottery, and Xiao Ran felt that he was a little broken. To put it in his dialect, that would be a collapse.
"The pilot is the driver who controls the mecha. The pilot attributes are equal to your personal attributes. The higher the attributes, the stronger you can be in driving the mecha. Even when you are not driving the mecha, you can still exert powerful effects. For personal combat power, you can strengthen your attributes through the combat points obtained after completing tasks, and you can also improve your attributes through your own exercise. You can also use the combat points to purchase other items, skills, and maintain yourself. equipment and replenish supplies.”
The words pilot, mecha, combat merit points, attributes, skills, and equipment were all firmly remembered by Xiao Ran in his heart. These were words related to life, especially the words pilot and mecha, which made him even more confused. Xiao Ran, who has loved this kind of animation and games since childhood, was a little excited. Being able to drive a huge mecha is definitely a steel romance that only belongs to men. For this kind of romance, the danger can probably be smoothed out a little bit. .
"Prometheus Fortress is divided into real area, super area and fantasy area. Different areas are temporarily unable to be contacted. The tasks performed in the mission world you go to are also different, and the rewards you get are also different."
A series of conversations have made Xiao Ran clear about some things about this world. The entire Prometheus Fortress seems to be a place dominated by mechas. He needs to go to different worlds to complete some tasks to make himself stronger. Get more stuff too.
Xiao Ran felt a little lucky, and thought to himself: "The real zone, the super zone, and the fantasy zone should correspond to the world of the mission, the real robot series, the super robot series, and the fantasy robot series. Although I don't know what the super and fantasy zones are. How do you distinguish between fantasy and fantasy, but I am very happy that I am in the safest and controllable real zone. If I encounter that kind of super robot world, I may die without knowing how."
"Can I go back to my original world?" Xiao Ran asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Your current clearance cannot be answered. Your current clearance is: Private."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows: "How to increase authority."
"Complete the tasks issued by the Lord God, and obtain the total combat points up to a certain value to increase your authority."
Although he did not get an answer, the voice did not clearly deny the possibility of Xiao Ran going back. Thinking of the people at home, there seemed to be a hope in Xiao Ran's heart. He took a deep breath and asked indifferently: "The information on the mission I want to carry out."
"The mission you are about to perform is a group novice mission. The mission cannot be selected. The information of this novice mission will be displayed on the projection in front of you."
The holographic virtual projection in front of Xiao Ran suddenly changed. When he looked at it, he felt that his heart had stopped for a moment, and his breathing became more rapid. He suddenly asked with a trembling voice: "What did you just say? I’m just an Earthling, so before I carry out the mission, does anyone know the situation in the mission world?”
"What you are talking about is basically impossible. Whenever you complete a mission and return to the fortress, without special props, the Lord God will automatically clear your brain of the trends and missions in the mission world during the mission, leaving only basic information. , the memory is returned only when you return to the same world again.”
Xiao Ran's eyes lit up: "What about outside the mission period?"
The inexplicable voice replied: "There are no memories that can be cleared outside of the mission period."
"Hahaha..." Xiao Ran covered his stomach and laughed loudly. He couldn't stop laughing and even shed tears: "Although I don't know what kind of place this is, and it's all aliens. Humans are not as powerful as them, but I have advantages that can make me defy the odds!"
The picture that appeared on the virtual monitor at this time represented an animation about real-type mechas belonging to the earth. Movies and games were emerging on it. Although there were only pictures that could not explain anything, Xiao Ran still I immediately recognized everything displayed on it, and the most numerous of them were the most famous mecha series on earth, Gundam.
The one that represents this unselectable novice mission world shows a picture of the earth and many huge hourglass-shaped satellite colonies facing each other far away.
"The group newbie mission world, Gundam SEED, starts counting down... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Enter now..."
