Chapter 456: The style of the SSSR-level divine pet is not right
Chapter 456: Something is not right about the style of the SSSR-level divine pet.
Chu Guang completely abandoned Yu to Luo Yu, and then he disappeared and went somewhere to fool around, and never showed up on the B6 floor again.
At this moment on the B6 floor.
Luo Yu, who had no experience in raising a baby, was staring at the mother body that was modeled after himself, and had been staring at it for a long time.
Anyway…
let’s change its name as usual.
Luo Yu cleared his throat and said.
”Hey, can you change its name?”
Yu tilted his head.
”Ew?”
Luo Yu: “For example… how about calling it Ew?”
Yu: “Ew?”
Luo Yu: “…”
There was no way to communicate at all!
Luo Yu sighed in giving up and gave up the idea of changing the name of this guy.
”That… Yu.”
”Yu!”
Hearing his own name, the tentacles floating on the back of Yu’s head danced happily.
It can be seen that it likes this name very much.
Luo Yu thought for a while and proposed a compromise plan.
”Xiao Yu, how about your nickname Xiao Yu from now on?”
Compared to a one-character name, this nickname is easier to pronounce, and it is much more recognizable than before.
”Xiao… Yu!”
It is still a little difficult for it to pronounce it continuously, but it looks like it understands the meaning of what it means.
Luo Yu smiled and reached out to rub its round and tender head.
This little guy…
it turns out that he can understand what I say.
At this time, a mean voice suddenly came from the direction of the elevator entrance.
”Why is the nickname longer than the real name?”
Looking back, it turned out to be Mosquito. Seeing that smirking look, Luo Yu rolled his eyes.
”What do you care.”
Mosquito walked up with a smile and hooked his shoulder in a friendly way.
”Haha, let’s not talk about this. Come on, brother will show you a treasure.”
”Wait, what are you going to show your dad?”
Luo Yu got nervous when he heard that this guy was going to show him a treasure again.
According to his past experience, everything that Mosquito made casually should be of some use, and things that were made seriously are probably useless.
These are all lessons learned from blood!
”Let me make it clear first, the task given to me by the manager is very critical. I have to be more cautious these days. Why don’t you find someone else to test it?”
Upon hearing this, Mosquito was immediately unhappy, and his serious eyebrows were raised.
”Gan! What do you mean by this? Does the thing I made have a high accident rate?”
A subtle expression appeared on Luoyu’s face.
”How can you have the nerve to ask such a thing.”
After saying that, he took Xiaoyu and walked towards the elevator, intending to take the little guy outside to get some fresh air.
Seeing this, Mosquito was immediately anxious and hurriedly followed.
”Hey! Wait, give me a brother… No, give me a chance brother! I promise you that this time I will not cheat! Otherwise, you can take a look first, if it is useful, you can take it away, no money, if it is not useful, I will keep it for myself!”
Hearing that it was free, Luoyu stopped and turned around with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
”Really?”
Mosquito nodded quickly.
”Really! When have I ever lied to you?”
”…”
Although he didn’t think Mosquito could come up with anything good, Luo Yu still followed him with a doubtful mood.
What if?
Mosquito can occasionally make two “godly outfits”, but the performance is not very stable.
Soon, Luo Yu took Xiao Yu and followed Mosquito out of the shelter and came to the hut in the south of the base.
A humanoid mecha about three meters high stood at the door of the hut.
It has a heavy chest armor and angular contours. The two mechanical arms are like Blitzcrank’s hands, like big pliers. The connecting parts on the shoulders and back seem to be able to mount other weapons, but probably they haven’t thought about what to mount, so they are still empty at the moment.
It’s like a smaller version of the “Titan”, exactly the same as the illustration hand-painted by Brother Mole on the forum.
Luo Yu was stunned for a few seconds, and then burst into a swear word.
”I’m blazing!”
Xiao Yu, who was standing next to him, tilted his head and echoed.
”Brazil?”
Luo Yu looked at it hurriedly and said.
”Don’t learn this.”
Xiao Yu nodded.
”Brazil!”
Luo Yu covered his face with his palm.
Mosquito walked up to him with a smirk and poked him with his elbow.
”Destroyer No. 1, the cost is about 60,000 silver coins, and the cost is mainly on steel… How about it? Is this equipment awesome?”
”It’s absolutely awesome,” Luo Yu stared at the iron lump intently and swallowed his saliva, “I believe you if you say this thing is a power armor… By the way, what is its power supply device?”
Mosquito said bluntly.
”It doesn’t have that thing.”
”It doesn’t have that thing?!” Luo Yu was stunned, and the whole person was dumbfounded, “What do you mean?”
Such a big iron lump weighs at least five or six tons. Without a motor structure to provide external power, it is just a decoration!
Just now he thought it was a metal hydrogen battery function, but the cost of 60,000 silver coins didn’t sound like it, so he guessed that it was probably a gasoline engine or solid hydrogen, but he didn’t expect Mosquito to tell him that it didn’t!
Damn, a power-type animal can’t even run with this thing on!
”Of course it means literally,” Mosquito said with a grin, “I know what you are thinking, don’t worry, this thing is not meant for people to wear.”
Luo Yu immediately looked at him alertly.
”What do you mean?”
Mosquito cast his eyes on Xiao Yu standing beside him, his burning eyes shining, like a weird uncle who kidnapped children.
”Hehe… According to my observation, whether it is the evolution of Qingquan City or the evolution of Lost Valley, they all rely on the power of the organism itself to provide power! In this case, why don’t we just abandon the design of the power components and let the slime mold that can be used by us dominate the entire machine! Use the purest power to drive our armor!”
Luo Yu stared at Mosquito in amazement.
Good guy.
According to this logic, as long as the car owners are all supermen, the car manufacturers don’t need to sell the engine?
Just leave two holes under the seat so that the owner’s legs can stretch out and run, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and also exercises the body.
But…
what it said seems to make sense?
Although he has never seen Titan in the game, he has seen the “Decay Knight” that corrodes power armor.
That thing carries a chain saw, not only does it split armor-piercing bullets with its hands, but it also kills a kid with one knife when fighting. It is a human tank. No matter whether it is T1 or T0 players, they are not opponents. Later, the manager took action and killed it in seconds.
It’s not just the Decayed Knights. I heard from Lao Bai and the others that there are a bunch of evolved bodies of similar strength in the city center. The garbage of the prosperous era has been played out in the hands of these slime molds.
Xiaoyu is also a slime mold, and it is a mother body of a higher level than the evolved body!
There is no reason why he can’t do it!
Thinking of this, Luoyu’s eyes gradually became hot, and he looked at the little guy standing next to him.
”Xiaoyu, why don’t you try this?”
”Eh?”
Yu tilted his head and followed Luoyu’s gaze to look at the iron lump.
It leaned forward and took a look. The tentacles on the back of its head floated forward, knocked on the hard breastplate, and then knocked on its arms. Then it turned around and shook its head like a wave drum.
”Eh!”
Perhaps because of the blood connection, although Luoyu didn’t understand what it said, he unexpectedly understood what it meant.
Scratching his head, he looked at the mosquito with a subtle expression.
”Uh, it seems to think this thing is food… It’s saying it can’t be eaten.”
”Puff!”
Mosquito couldn’t help but spray, and hurriedly walked up to try to explain to Xiaoyu.
”Be good, kid, this is not for you to eat, you try to get in first!”
Maybe it was frightened by the impatient look, or maybe it was because the way this guy spoke was not like a normal person, Xiaoyu took a step back in fear, and then quickly slipped behind Luoyu.
”Eh!”
Seeing the pitiful look, the kind-hearted Luoyu couldn’t bear to force it, looking at the anxious mosquito brother, coughed lightly, and reminded him.
”You scared it.”
”I just want to teach it how to use it, hey… why is it so difficult!” Seeing that this guy couldn’t understand what he meant, the mosquito was so anxious that he almost scratched the back of his head.
Luoyu said patiently.
”Be patient, its mind is still that of a child, it doesn’t understand anything… Even if you tell it that this thing is equipment, it won’t understand what it is used for.”
As he spoke, he suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Perhaps he should take it to the edge of the city to learn how to hunt, at least to know where the food it eats every day comes from.
This can also be regarded as teaching by example.
It is definitely more reliable than simple indoctrination.
However, Mosquito seemed to have reached a dead end. He gritted his teeth and walked towards the iron lump in disbelief.
”MMP! I don’t believe that I can’t teach this guy! Wait, I’ll show you!”
As he said, he picked up the crowbar, broke open the connecting parts at the back of Destroyer No. 1, and then put his hands and feet in.
A muffled sound like a bell came out of the tin can.
”Get in like this, hold the two handles inside, and then twist them hard to switch to sports mode-”
Before the voice fell, there
was a slight click.
With the sound of hinges rolling, the movable door panel behind closed heavily, and the locking structures of various joints were unlocked, and at the same time, an uncontrollable chain reaction occurred.
The body of Destroyer No. 1 slowly tilted forward, and then began to fall faster. The two arms stretched forward were like upside-down green onions, heavily poking into the mud. While the upper body was folded forward into an M shape, the head also plunged into the ground.
Looking at the mosquito that suddenly knelt down, Luo Yu was stunned, but Xiao Yu next to him made an interested sound.
”Eh.”
Luo Yu coughed lightly.
”…Even if you can eat it now, you can’t eat it. You can’t eat people.”
The floating tentacles drooped down, and Xiao Yu’s face was full of regret.
”Eh…”
Weird…
I clearly didn’t understand what this guy said, but there was no communication barrier.
But now is not the time to talk about this.
Luo Yu walked to the side of Destroyer No. 1 and shouted at the immobile iron lump.
”Hey, are you still alive?”
After a long while, the voice with an echo floated out from the iron lump.
”… Damn, I almost got disconnected by me, cough cough… I’m still alive, help me.”
Luo Yu stepped forward and grabbed the iron lump’s shoulder, pulling with all his strength, but found that it didn’t move at all.
The weight of five or six tons is still a bit difficult for agile players.
Then he tried to move the movable door at the back to help Mosquito get out, but found that the door was like welded to the armor, and it didn’t move no matter whether he pried it with his hands or with a crowbar.
As if seeing Luo Yu’s intention, the iron lump floated out a weak voice.
”It’s useless… The movable door is locked in combat mode.”
Luo Yu couldn’t help but complain.
”Then you fucking cancel the combat mode quickly!”
Mosquito was silent for a long time before he uttered a sentence.
”To cancel the combat mode… you have to stand up first.”
Luo Yu threw away the crowbar in his hand, sighed, took out the VM and clicked it twice.
”…Anyway, I’ll help you contact Lao Bai and the others.”
After placing the coordinates for help on the map, Luo Yu took Xiao Yu away from here and went to the Fifth Ring Road of Qingquan City.
Due to the large number of new players leveling up nearby, and the fact that gnawers can produce nutrient paste and active substances, the number of fruiting bodies in the northern suburbs has been greatly reduced. If you want to spawn monsters, you can only go deep into the city.
Originally, thinking that Xiaoyu was at least SSSR level and the only divine pet in the whole server, he could help a little in the battle, so Luoyu didn’t waste too much time in the low-difficulty area. He directly locked onto an office building suspected of having crawlers and took Xiaoyu to kill him.
According to the manager, among all the slime mold fruiting bodies, this little guy likes to eat crawlers the most, followed by butchers.
The latter is a bit difficult to deal with because of its high health and high defense, but the former is still relatively easy to deal with, and the number is not rare.
However, there is a problem here.
The area where crawlers are active is usually close to the hatchery. In addition to crawlers, there are also many alien species such as gnawers, martyrs, and even terrifying tyrants.
As for Luoyu, because he flies a plane every day, either training or going on duty, he hasn’t fought infantry battles for quite a long time, let alone the city.
The idea of fighting mutant slime molds is completely different from the idea of fighting predators, aliens, and mutants.
It is not enough to have good marksmanship. You must use the terrain to pull and move to avoid being surrounded by groups of fruiting bodies.
Once surrounded by a sufficient number of gnawers, let alone awakened ones, even awakened ones wearing power armor will have their scalps tingling.
Luo Yu, who only brought some light weapons, fell into a bitter battle as soon as he entered the ruins of the office building. He was
almost killed by the martyr hiding in the corner.
He dodged the corrosive mucus and the spores with a sulfur smell. Before Luo Yu could stand firm, a crawler rushed up from the front.
”Roar!”
The deafening roar echoed in the stairwell. Luo Yu quickly shook out the bayonet of the rifle and stabbed it towards the head of the crawler.
The speed of the agility system gave him a considerable advantage. This white blade directly pierced the eyes of the crawler.
The creeper cried out in pain, and black blood spurted out.
Luo Yu turned on the spot, avoiding the claws that were aimed at the ground, pulled out the centurion pistol inserted in his waist, and fired several shots at the back of the creeper’s head.
”Bang!”
The fire of the explosion flickered, and as the smoke dissipated, the creeper finally drooped its shoulders and fell to one side.
Luo Yu, who was panting, breathed a sigh of relief, put the pistol back into his waist, walked forward and picked up the rifle on the ground that was wet with black mucus.
”…I should have teamed up with two teammates earlier.”
This kind of monster-intensive dungeon is still a bit difficult to swipe alone.
Looking at Xiao Yu hiding at the exit of the stairwell and peeking out, Luo Yu couldn’t help but complain.
”Can you help me a little?”
”Eh?”
Xiao Yu tilted his head, not knowing whether he didn’t understand or pretended not to understand.
But when it saw the creeper lying in the stairwell, its scarlet eyes suddenly shone.
”Eeh!”
Luo Yu didn’t need to teach it at all.
It dodged and pounced on the reptile, raised its head and bit it, and began to eat happily.
Seeing the greedy look of this little guy, Luo Yu couldn’t get angry, and smiled and shook his head.
Forget it.
After all, it is a new pet.
It is not realistic to expect it to have the ability to “punch the manager and kick Lao Bai” immediately. Maybe I should be more tolerant and give it some time to grow and adapt.
Imagining the appearance of this little guy who will amaze everyone after growing up, Luo Yu waited for it to eat and observed its eating appearance.
I saw that the slender waist bulged up and down, and the food that was eaten seemed to be sent below the waist and put into the skirt-shaped mushroom block.
Is the stomach growing in the lower body?
What a strange structure.
Speaking of which, it seems to have grown a little taller, but the change is probably within one centimeter, so it is not obvious.
At this moment, Xiaoyu suddenly stopped eating, raised his head alertly and looked around, as if he had noticed something.
”Eh!”
Hearing the warning voice, Luoyu’s face changed slightly,
and the rifle in his hand was loaded. At this moment, the suppressed roars gradually became clear, accompanied by the tremors of running, and rushed towards this side from the upper and lower parts of the stairwell at the same time like a tsunami.
Gnawers!
A drop of cold sweat crossed Luoyu’s forehead.
The number was at least one hundred – no, it might be four or five hundred!
Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed Xiaoyu’s arm, pulling it up from the side of the crawler’s body.
”Run!”
…
Thanks to Xiaoyu’s perception, they were not surrounded in the stairwell, but moved to the nearest floor to deal with the surging gnawers.
The gunshots and explosions continued for a long time.
It was two hours later when Luoyu and Xiaoyu escaped from the ruins of the office building.
After using a grenade to get rid of the gnawer that was chasing him, Luo Yu let out a long sigh, sat down on the hood of a scrap car on the side of the road, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his dirty sleeves.
It was so close! He almost
died!
It was a bit embarrassing for him, an ace pilot, to die in such a place.
Time always slipped away silently, and it was dusk before he knew it.
The setting sun stretched the shadows of the man and the mother, blending them into the shadows of the steel and concrete wreckage.
Xiao Yu came closer.
A slender tentacle floated to his forehead, gently rubbed the black mucus on his forehead, and murmured softly.
”Eh.”
Hearing the comforting voice, Luo Yu smiled and replied.
”Thank you.”
”Eh!” Xiao Yu made a happy sound in response, as happy as a little dolphin.
Luo Yu scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, with a hint of shyness in his proud smile.
He suddenly felt that this burden was quite cute, and the abstract facial features were not that ugly.
After all, it was based on himself…
Just as he was thinking this, the tentacle that had just wiped the black mucus from his forehead retracted and stretched into its mouth.
The bulging cheeks seemed to be sucking.
Cold sweat and hot sweat broke out on Luo Yu’s forehead at the same time.
I always feel that…
the painting style has become strange.
…
On the other side, at the south gate of the outpost.
With the help of Lao Bai, Mosquito managed to crawl out of the iron lump he made.
Because the Burning Corps was doing a mission outside before, he had been lying here with his butt sticking out for an afternoon and almost suffocated to death.
Looking at the embarrassed Mosquito, Ye Shi teased him in a joking tone.
”Good guy, what kind of torture instrument have you invented? An automatic canning machine?”
Quitting laughed heartlessly.
”Hahahaha, it feels like it should be used with a fishing rod!”
Mosquito rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with these guys who don’t understand art and appreciation.
”Get out! This is my Destroyer No. 1! Tsk… It seems that the transmission components still need to be improved, or at least an auxiliary motor needs to be installed.”
Kuangfeng, who was standing aside, touched his nose.
”To be honest… falling down is a problem of the center of gravity. If the center of gravity is not on the central axis, no matter how you design it, it will fall forward.”
Mosquito scratched the back of his head and smiled.
”…It seems so, I totally forgot about it.”
Kuangfeng: “…”
In order to divert the topic away from himself, Mosquito coughed and asked.
”By the way, why didn’t you go to the front line?”
Ye Shi said with a smile.
”We are a quick reaction force, not a filling-in division. If we all go to the front line, who will take care of the homeland defense?”
Kuangfeng nodded.
”Well, speaking of which, we recently caught two spies… They came from the Bugera Free State. Someone bribed them to pretend to be refugees and sneak into the industrial zone of Dawn City, trying to blow up our tank production line,”
Mosquito said in surprise.
”Damn, those people are still not honest?”
Lao Bai said with a smile.
”Maybe he got impatient, after all, Brother Bianjian ruined their business worth several hundred million. The enterprise is stationed on the south bank of Tianshui. They can’t come openly, so they can only come secretly… Speaking of which, what about you? Why did you stay back so long?”
”That’s right, it’s been a week, enough for you to give away your head twice… and you made this thing?” Ye Shi laughed and teased, bringing the topic back to the iron lump that looked good but was useless.
Knowing that he couldn’t get over this hurdle today, Mosquito sighed.
”Ah… It’s all tears if I talk too much. I thought I could help Brother Luoyu’s battle pet get a set of divine equipment, but I didn’t expect that the mother body was a mentally retarded person and couldn’t understand what I meant at all.”
Kuangfeng said with a subtle expression.
”Is there a possibility that you misunderstood the use of the mother body.”
Even if it is understood literally, that thing is not used for war, right?
According to the clues they have found so far, hunting is basically the work of “fruiting bodies” and “evolved bodies”.
These two are equivalent to “laborers” and “experts” in the slime mold society.
”It may be that its strength is too weak, and it doesn’t have the ability to eat such a big iron lump…”
Lao Bai reached out and knocked on the shell of the Destroyer No. 1, with an interested look on his face.
”It would be better if this thing was designed to be lighter. If it only weighed one or two tons… the strength system could try to wear it.”
Mosquito’s eyes lit up.
”I’ll think about it!”
…
The sun set quickly.
Chu Guang, who had been handling official business in the browsing room all day, briefly learned about the mother from Xiao Qi.
In order to prevent “Yu” from going berserk, he arranged a hummingbird drone to follow the head of the one and the mother after Luo Yu took it away from the shelter.
At present, Yu’s performance is still stable, and no obvious hostility towards humans has been found.
Judging from the attitudes of other slime molds, they did not regard it as a kind of the same, but as an object that needs to be “purified” like other organisms.
The enemy of the enemy is not necessarily a friend, but can be an object of wooing.
Chu Guang extended his index finger to turn off the holographic window suspended in front of him, and leaned back on the sofa.
”Yu, you continue to observe. If there are no abnormal situations or changes, you don’t have to report everything to me.”
Xiao Qi: “Okay, Master.”
Chu Guang continued to ask.
”What about the front line? Any news?”
”According to the reports of players in the game and the exchanges on the forum, the entire Oasis No. 9 is now under our control. There are occasional frictions on the northwest defense line, but there is basically no large-scale exchange of fire… According to the analysis of your army headquarters, the legion seems to be waiting for us to go deep into the desert and enter their home ground.”
After listening to Xiao Qi’s report, Chu Guang’s mouth curled up a faint smile.
”Then let them wait.”
The Skeleton Corps has completed its assembly in the west of Oasis No. 9, and the Storm Corps has been training the Lion Kingdom Army for a week.
The five “Cloud Ting” flapping-wing aircraft reinforced by the Enterprise have been transferred to the aerospace base on the south side of the Tianshui tributary. They will go to the front line as soon as the pilots of the Alliance complete their training.
And just yesterday, Chu Guang had contacted Yun Song.
The light infantry commando team, which consists of more than 20 power armors and hundreds of exoskeleton soldiers, will soon be reorganized into an independent thousand-man team with hundreds of bionic commandos sent by Kangmao Group, and will launch an attack on the homeland of the Falcon Kingdom, Oasis No. 2, while the frontal battlefield is launched.
Oasis No. 2, located on the border of the Great Desert, is the gateway to the Great Desert.
According to the clues provided by Luo Hua, the Pioneer was captured by the Legion shortly after it entered the Great Desert through Oasis No. 2, and it should not be too far from the western border of Oasis No. 2.
In order to prevent the Legion from jumping off the wall and completely dismantling or blowing up the Pioneer, they need to launch attacks in two directions at the same time.
”Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.”
If everything goes well.
Before the end of the year, Griffin will be reunited with his old friend McLen.
Just as Chu Guang was lost in his reverie, Xiao Qi’s voice floated into his ears.
”Master, Prince Summer of the Honey Badger Kingdom wants to see you.”
”Let him come here directly.” It was already this late, and Chu Guang, who had already eaten in North Street, was too lazy to go out again.
Xiao Qi, who was sitting at the desk, nodded enthusiastically.
”Okay!”
…
At the same time, in the Lost Valley deep in the desert, Xiaohong, standing on the top of the valley, looked motionlessly in the east.
After a long time, it uttered a very soft murmur.
”Eh.”
The white dove standing behind it showed a surprised expression on its face after hearing it.
”You mean… the seeds of life that were sown disappeared?”
”Eh.”
Xiaohong shook her head, nodded again, and said nothing, but it seemed to have said everything.
But the white dove obviously understood.
There are many media for transmitting information, and not every information needs to be transmitted through the medium of the material world.
Although his Xiaohong cannot communicate with the “child” thousands of kilometers away, the connection in the dark can make it sense its existence.
Now this connection is broken, but Xiaohong denied that it was “death”.
In this case, there is only one possibility.
That is, the “symbiont” in the young man’s body has been changed into something else.
What could it be?
The index finger rubbed his chin, and there was not much expression change on the rotten face, but the scarlet pupils flashed with interest.
”I see, that’s interesting… these juniors are quite capable.”
The secret that he had studied for decades to crack was solved by these people in just a few days.
In this world of declining civilization, there are people who know more about slime mold than he does.
This is incredible!
