Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 706: The ragpicker
Bright spots appeared on the black screen, and their number increased rapidly.

The originally dark picture quickly brightened up at this moment, and clusters of brilliant nebulae that had only been seen in photos connected into a huge galaxy.

——Although they are all pixel-style.

Watching high-definition pixel style on an 86-inch TV feels like playing FC games on a 4090.

But then again, the appearance of the starry sky in the opening animation is not that surprising.

When it comes to science fiction, space themes are definitely an unavoidable topic.

So far, Li Chengxi has remained calm.

Then the starry sky on the screen rotated rapidly, which made me dizzy. The camera seemed to be moving forward through countless nebulae, but the speed was too fast so there was an illusion of the stars rotating.

After a few seconds, Li Chengxi saw the camera move forward to the ring of a huge gas planet. From a distance, it looked like a ring, but when the camera was zoomed in for a closer look, it was actually a large area of ​​densely packed asteroids.

The camera continued to move forward and finally stopped on an asteroid that barely had a diamond shape.

"What the hell is Solomon's Fortress?"

This asteroid seemed to have been artificially modified. Metal structures wrapped around the asteroid could be seen in many places. As the camera continued to move forward, Li Chengxi saw that an artificial opening was made on one side of the asteroid, like a hangar.

There was even a row of things with complex mechanical structures, which looked like small spaceships, parked on the floor of the hangar.

“Okay, this is science fiction.”

As Li Chengxi complained, the camera continued to move forward, passing through the thick rock layers of the transformed asteroid and entering the interior.

At this time, Li Chengxi saw a group of people, or humanoid creatures, walking through the passage.

They all wore a uniform that looked like a space suit but was much lighter than a space suit. Since there was no lighting in the passage, lights like flashlights lit up on the chests of their space suits.

Referring to the experiences of Viola and Yang Yiyi, the protagonist of the science fiction script must be among this group of people.

Li Chengxi was looking up and down, trying to see who was the protagonist in this team, when intermittent flashes suddenly began to appear on the screen.

The group of people opened fire with weapons that looked like guns.

The reason why they are said to be like guns is that some of them look like gunpowder weapons, with their appearance being slightly different from those on Earth, but some are like laser guns, emitting long and thin beams of light.

In the darkness, these flashes intermittently illuminated the surroundings, and it could be vaguely seen that they were attacking some kind of mechanical structure.

After careful identification, Li Chengxi realized that the object that was hit was the magic casing.

This thing has been used by people from the Glow Ion Priory. It's not as powerful as the golem, but its advantage is that it's cheap, so it can be mass-produced.

You know what, the darkness, the approaching mechanical monster, plus the flash of weapon fire, this composition really has the feel of a space horror movie.

Li Chengxi watched this group of people maintaining a tight formation while firing to the left and right. When he was wondering who was the protagonist, he suddenly saw a flash on the screen.

The floor beneath everyone's feet seemed to be violently torn apart, and a large group of silver-glittering magic shells exploded directly in the center, instantly submerging the group of people.

Oh, not the main character, just a supporting role?

The picture began to move again, as if someone was responsible for moving the camera and pushing it to another place.

There is also a passage here, and there are also a few people, even their clothes are very similar, with only slight differences in color.

The difference is that they were not attacked, or rather, they were attacked before but were beaten back.

Li Chengxi saw that some people seemed to be injured. Since the gravity on the asteroid was not enough to stand normally, they strung the injured together with ropes and pulled them like a train. Now there should be a protagonist, right?
It was the same with Yang Yiyi. She was excited for a long time at the beginning, only to find out that the person who jumped off the cliff was a minor character in an overlong plot.

As if to confirm Li Chengxi's complaints, this time nothing suddenly appeared to kill this group of people. They passed through the dark passage and came to a space that seemed much more empty.

Then, I don't know what they did, but the headlights all around were turned on.

A huge mechanical creature that almost took up the entire screen appeared on the screen.

Its lower body looks like a pyramid, but is made up of countless gears, Nixie tubes, vacuum tubes and metal plates.

The upper body seems to have a human figure, but it is only at this stage.

The head appears to be made of brass pipes and it is hard to understand what the purpose of this mechanism is.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Mid-June, 1388 Astral Era.

Unknown asteroid remains.

The dark and deep corridors had not been passed by anyone for thousands of years, and fine dust floated in the low-gravity environment until they were swept out by the strong light of the personal lighting system.

"Captain, is there really a treasure in this damn place?"

Through the void protective suit, even though it was through the short-range magic communication that came with the suit, the sound seemed muffled.

"Of course there is. According to my analysis, no one has entered this place for thousands of years. We are the first group of treasure hunters."

The person who answered was also one who was stuffed into a protective suit.

She walked in the front, and even though one-third of her companions were unable to move due to injuries and had to be led by ropes, her voice still sounded full of excitement.

Through the mask of the void protective suit, one can see from her face that she is a standard human being. She is not very old, and no older than twenty.

What is more worrying is that half of her hair is shaved, and there is a metal thing like a connector inserted into the scalp. However, she usually combs her hair back to cover the connector, so it is not easy to see unless she turns her face to the side.

"Long, think about it, this is an ancient ruin that no one has been to for thousands of years. What will we find here?"

"I don't want to think about this at all. Before the benefits, we have to consider the risks. There are already several recyclers competing with us."

The person who was talking to her was a very strange 'person'.

Although it was difficult to see clearly inside the void suit, from the mask she looked like a ball.

And it was a shiny ball that looked like natural crystal. Whenever she spoke, the ball would emit a faint orange light, as if there was a ball of light wriggling inside.

Long is her name, and she is a silicon crystal person.

They are one of the very few races that can adapt to and survive in the void environment. Their true form is the crystal ball, and their body is mechanical. They can be modified at will, even by simply putting together a few wooden sticks.

They only appear in the void. It's not that they can't survive under normal gravity, but the number of the species is small and the endless void is too large, so it is almost impossible to see them in the mortal world.

The captain of the Silicon Crystal People, named Alyssa, is a recycler.

In simple terms, it is a rag picker...
