“So we will go find the mecha repairman later and see if we can remove the micro mecha’s permissions.”
In the City of the Braves, Wutui Techang and Luoye Ranchen were talking while eating in Wutui Techang’s house.
Luoye Ranchen had already communicated with him, and he also opened a space to mark the location in the home panel, recording the coordinates of the spaceship and the star field at the same time.
This way, the two of them wouldn’t need to be so anxious.
In any case, they could return to Blood Dance’s spaceship at any time. They could go back to it at any time. There was no need to stay on the spaceship, unable to go anywhere!
“This home system was launched at the perfect time. It is a must-have for home and travel!”
Wutui Techang said cheerfully, “You have no idea. I was almost suffocating on that spaceship.”
He gnawed on a crispy fried chicken drumstick in an excited manner. “Come to think of it, now that we aren’t afraid of being exposed, should we go back and steal some more?”
Luoye Ranchen shook his head. “You can only return home when not in combat. What if you are killed on the spaceship?”
“It is uncertain whether this marked location will disappear after you die or not. We can’t take that risk.”
If marked locations could be recorded and saved as teleportation points, it would be incredible. If they spent money to open up a few more spots, wouldn’t it be easy to travel around the entire universe?
The forum was still exploring the strategy for the home system and it wasn’t known if there were any traps yet. It was better for them to pay attention.
Wutui Techang nodded. “Okay, I’ll do as you say.”
Then he continued to look at the information about mecha repairmen on the forum. They had been away from Roland for too long and couldn’t keep up with a lot of the latest information.
For example, the mechas. It was said that the Roland Research Institute had independently developed a mecha, which cost hundreds of millions of Escher coins. No player had gathered enough money to buy it yet.
After all, no matter how rich they were, hundreds of millions of Escher coins were close to 700 to 800 real coins. This wasn’t something that everyone could afford. Even if they had money, they would be crazy to use it to buy a mecha in a game.
What’s more, even if a rich person came forward, it wasn’t easy to collect 100 million Escher coins.
So since the release of the mecha, no player had obtained it. They heard that it had been distributed to NPC soldiers in the army.
But there was also good news. The launch of mechas meant the mecha repairmen of the Roland Empire also came into being. Finally, there was someone who could help repair and unbind the mechas previously stolen from star thieves and lizardmen.
It was said that if they completed a mission and met certain conditions, they could go to the mecha training class and receive guidance and training from the mecha instructor, Yu Sen.
But what they both got were micro mechas. They shouldn’t need any training, right?
“Where can I find a mecha repairman? Does it cost money to have him repair it?” Wutui Techang searched the forum for a long time but found no relevant information.
“It should be the research institute right?” Luoye Ranchen guessed.
“Where is the research institute?”
“I heard it is next to the Xiao Wu Military Factory, in the canyon that appeared during the closed beta. I still have the video from that time saved. I’ll go look for it.”
I nodded. “Okay. Then I’ll post a question on the forum and ask for help. Maybe someone will be willing to take us there.”
Those who snatched mechas should be from big guilds. Even if some individual players got it, they probably sold it. It was understandable that these big guilds were unwilling to release the information.
“Ask the boss if he has any connections?”
“Okay.”
Just as the two of them were discussing it, the doorbell of the house suddenly rang.
Wutui Techang exchanged looks with Luoye Ranchen and stood up curiously. He went over to open the door and was immediately startled by the robot standing outside the door.
Behind this robot, there were several other robots holding instruments and doing something unknown in his garden.
Wutui Techang was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously turned on shooting mode and walked around the house.
Then he found that the street originally crowded with people had become quiet at some point. The area seemed to be blocked and was filled with robots that appeared from nowhere.
“What happened?”
Wutui Techang used detection on the robot in front of him and found that its health bar was quite thick. He immediately calmed down and asked this question in a slightly confused manner.
“Hello, due to the recent appearance of unknown black bugs in the universe, which are extremely destructive, we have received a notice to disinfect all people returning to Roland through special channels to prevent them from bringing back adult insects or eggs and causing harm to Roland. Please cooperate with us.”
The robot spoke in a fluent electronic voice before walking into Wutui Techang’s house.
Wutui Techang captured key information.
“Unknown black bugs? Have they appeared in other places in the universe?”
He could sit at home and a clue came to him without any effort!
As for cooperating with the disinfection work, he naturally had no objection. After all, he had witnessed the amazing destructive power of these black bugs with his own eyes.
He and Luoye Ranchen had analyzed that the main mission must be to eliminate this type of bug. If they really brought back such a terrible thing, their contribution to the mission would probably be negative.
The robot didn’t answer him, but Xiao Wu, who was hiding inside and watching, thought inwardly, “You asked me, but I don’t know. I learned it from you guys.”
This disinfection process was based on the epidemic prevention measures after the discovery of infectious diseases in the universe, except that the disinfectant solution was replaced with high-temperature ray disinfection.
This type of ray would inevitably cause damage to the environment, but there was nothing that could be done about it. Roland would compensate the braves afterwards.
Xu Sili also told his second brother about this matter, hoping that he could ask the gaming team to add a quarantine and disinfection process to the home system and force players to use it.
Otherwise, it would be too troublesome if the robots had to come to their houses for disinfection every time.
Xu Yuheng took it very seriously. After all, this concerned his brother’s life. Besides, it was already bad enough that Roland had the strange beasts. Wouldn’t it be over if the zerg came?
Fortunately, after learning about it, he knew that this was the main mission for the interstellar part. According to the original plan, the game team didn’t intend to let the zerg invade the novice planet.
This update to the home system posed the risk of players returning with bug eggs or adult bugs, which may cause uncontrollable harm. The game team also held an emergency meeting to seek solutions.
As for the fact that it had only been nearly three years since the server was launched and players had already found clues to the zerg invasion, which was faster than originally planned…
Wasn’t this normal?
It was only half a year earlier. It was a small problem!
However, they wouldn’t deliberately remind players about the zerg, or it would be unfair to the players who triggered the mission. Naturally, it was impossible to install that type of epidemic prevention and disinfection equipment.
Soon, the game team updated a patch.
Once players used the return home button to quickly return home, they couldn’t bring back anything with life characteristics, including organisms, eggs, embryos, etc.
As for Xu Sili’s previous suggestion to allow NPCs to return through the home system, the game team decided to launch property usage cards in the future.
Players and NPCs holding property usage cards could use the home system to return to the corresponding property. At the same time, they were subject to the previous regulations. When returning, all living things on their bodies would be left in place and couldn’t be brought back.
Of course, this type of property usage card would be launched later and the pricing still needed to be discussed.
Moreover, the design of the cards also took time. If it was done properly, it could also be a very good selling point.
The matter was resolved smoothly and Xu Sili sighed with relief. At the same time, he learned from Xiao Wu that Luoye Ranchen and Wutui Techang were looking for mecha repairmen, so he gave them guidance on the mission.
He couldn’t send NPCs to investigate the matter, so the two players who first discovered the zerg were the most suitable candidates. As for the rest, he didn’t plan to do too much.
At most, he would send a message to Adrian, reminding him that this unknown black bug had appeared in the universe and its known characteristics. It wasn’t his concern if this could attract the attention of the Interstellar Alliance and whether the zerg could be strangled in the cradle.
After all, the interstellar beasts of the Roland Empire hadn’t been completely eliminated. He didn’t have that much time and energy to care about the distant zerg.
Luoye Ranchen and Wutui Techang received the guidance mission and didn’t return to the Blood Dance spaceship. They instead concentrated on their micro mechas, preparing to return to interstellar exploration after the mechas were completed.
So what they didn’t know was that the two star thieves they killed in the bathroom weren’t discovered.
By the time the other star thieves realized something was wrong and kicked open the toilet door, they found the cubicles were spotless without a drop of blood.
The two star thieves seemed to have disappeared out of thin air on the spaceship.
The star thieves sensed something was amiss but ultimately let it go. Blood Dance’s spaceship once again wandered in space.
Around three months later, Xu Sili finally received the long-awaited good news.
