Abnormal crossing

Chapter 118 Rich woman, hungry, food!

Look at the message box that pops up in front of you.

Gu Wei blinked rapidly.

Kite song?

So, can game friends in "Mech Overlord" send messages directly through the Xinghai Internet platform?
This thing can often bring unexpected surprises to people.
But soon.

Gu Wei's entire attention shifted from his surprise at the functions of the Internet platform to the content of the message sent by Yuange.

20v20 civil war?
Could it be the multiplayer mode of Mech Overlord? -- It looks like it's a customizable one?

"Hey? News about Yuange?" Gu Wei didn't try to hide the information when he checked it, so Milo could see the content on the screen clearly: "This is the teammate you were paired with before, the rich lady who used the Riel Greatsword?"

"Yes, that's her," Gu Wei nodded and asked Milo, "Captain, does this kind of civil war count as points?"

"Of course," Milo smiled. He was quite reliable on this topic. "The essence of this kind of civil war is actually multiplayer ranking, but both parties will agree on a random matching key in advance. As for the settlement, the score will be calculated based on multiple dimensions, such as the score difference between the players, the performance in the game, etc., and even the mecha model will be taken into consideration."

"So generally speaking, the points deduction for losing in multiplayer mode is not as strict as that in single-player mode. Even if you are killed instantly right after entering the game, the maximum deduction is about ten points."

“The purpose of this approach is to encourage players to play multiplayer games more frequently. After all, to some extent, multiplayer mode is actually a more common scenario in Star Ocean.”

Multiplayer mode more common?
Gu Wei was slightly stunned, but soon understood what Milo meant.

Also.

Different from the many-to-one elimination of alien life forms.

The mecha battles that take place in reality are basically small- to medium-scale group battles, that is, chaotic battles based on fleets.

Unless you are an elite who is qualified to fight the enemy one-on-one, you will most likely have to fight in a multi-on-many situation.

However, in a many-to-many game, there is no matching mechanism for opponents of the same level. If you are unlucky and meet the big boss leading the enemy team, you may be killed instantly when you meet.

The many-to-many combat in Mech Overlord should follow similar restoration rules, and in this case the penalty for failure will definitely not be that high.

"."

Then Gu Wei looked up at Milo and vaguely guessed his attitude: "Captain, from what you said, it seems that you support me to fight a civil war?"

"Yes, you can go and have some fun," Milo patted his shoulder, his tone relaxed, "Anyway, our fleet doesn't have anything urgent to do right now, and the silent period of the jump point only affects external communications, so it won't interfere with the game connection of Mech Overlord."

"Plus, your friend Yuange performed very well last time. The level of the civil war she dragged you to participate in is probably not low among the newcomers. It's good for you to go and broaden your horizons. What you lack most now is experience."

Gu Wei thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

Milo did have a point.

And from a social perspective, Gu Wei himself actually wants to see the world.

So he immediately replied to Yuange to accept the invitation, turned around and went to the game cabin of "Mech Overlord" to log in to the game.

Swah——

After a flash of white light similar to the activation of the original god.

Gu Wei came to the hangar of "Mech Overlord" again.

A few more seconds passed.

A prompt popped up in front of him:
[Friend "Yuan Ge" invites you to join the game, game mode: 20v20 multiplayer battle, do you want to join? Yes/No]

Gu Wei immediately clicked yes.

As the choice was made, the scene before his eyes changed again.

Different from the enclosed hangar in the original two-player mode.

The area where Gu Wei appeared this time looked like a huge spaceship cabin, with faded yellow and black warning strips spreading like snakes on the cabin walls. The cabin section had a hexagonal honeycomb structure, and each cabin wall was embedded with energy pipes as thick as a bowl.

The surface of these dark red alloy tubes is covered with ice crystals, and low-temperature helium is hissing out from some cracks.

The dome was covered with anchor tracks, which were now flashing alternately with faint blue beams, a bit like the lights from the stage ceiling.

Look forward with your naked eyes.

The crisscrossing corridors seemed endless, sparks were flying from a large area from time to time, unknown fuel condensed into a strange purple mist in the corridor, and the entire wall of the northwest corner was torn into a jagged crack.
It is clear.

This map should be related to "attack" again, and the map area should be much larger than the original Fallen Center.

Besides the Syrian style, Gu Wei also noticed another thing:
There were mechas neatly arranged in the cabin, including large ones that were almost as tall as Kai [Liuguang], and small ones that were only five or six meters long.

His own Fisherman's Fury seems to be located in the edge area, with an orange and black mecha on each side, the specific models are unknown.

"Hey, pigeon."

Just as Gu Wei was looking around, Yuange's voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Can you hear me?"

Gu Wei nodded immediately: "Okay, where are you?"

"I'm seven positions to your left, and we're in a private chat now," Yuange said quickly, "Have you ever played or seen this kind of multiplayer civil war before?"

Gu Wei replied honestly: "No."

"As expected, it's a good thing I didn't rush to pull you into the public channel," Yuange said in a tone that was not expected, "Since you haven't played a multiplayer civil war, let me first give you a brief introduction to the situation."

Then Yuange paused and continued, "The map we are playing now is called [Torn Iron Curtain], and the background of the map is based on real events in history."

With Yuange's introduction, a piece of Xinghai history gradually emerged before Gu Wei.

About 190,000 years ago.

A deep space strategic fleet belonging to the seventh-level civilization Aurora Federation was attacked while performing a deep space jump. The entire fleet was destroyed. The attackers were from another seventh-level civilization, the Biqiuli Kingdom.

The two sides were originally the same country and ally of an alliance called the Iron Curtain Alliance. This attack completely tore up the Iron Curtain Agreement signed by the two major civilizations, and triggered the "War of the Betrayer" which was famous in the history of the Star Sea civilization.

As the war develops.

This war involved the deaths of more than ten seventh-level civilizations, affected an area of no less than sixty galaxies, and lasted for three thousand years. The direct and indirect casualties were difficult to calculate.

According to Star Alliance statistics.

In the entire war alone, the number of star systems that were completely destroyed or scrapped reached 1600 billion.

Even in the nearly one million years of history of Star Sea Civilization, this war is enough to rank among the top.

And at this moment.

Gu Wei and his companions were in the core battleship Senna in the attacked fleet. This core battleship was floating in the K7 asteroid belt. The ship was divided into seven battle zones during the attack. The two sides of the game played the roles of defenders and attackers respectively.

"According to the settings, 78% of the ship is in a state of weightlessness," Yuange provided accurate data like a tour guide, "so the entire battle process is a great test of the mecha operator's control ability and the hardware level of the mecha itself."

"At the same time, the low-temperature helium leaking from the warship will form a light blue ice mist with the metal debris. It will be generated in a random compartment every 90 seconds. The effect is to reduce visibility and energy weapon efficiency by 30%, which is relatively challenging for the intelligent brain's scanning ability."

"And due to the invasion of the Bikuri Kingdom's network pollution, the shipboard AI has become logically disordered. The invaded automated defense system will attack indiscriminately, and any area may be at risk."

"There's another thing you need to remember. This is a multiplayer team game. If you want to destroy the enemy, you must complete multiple strategic goals. So after you access the public frequency, the captain will issue the corresponding tasks. Considering the difference in combat power between your mecha and mine on paper, we may not be assigned to the same task group. You must be mentally prepared."

Gu Wei nodded in understanding: "I see, no problem with me."

Logically, it is equivalent to the lane division in lol, which means that Yuange goes to the top lane and I go to the support.

"By the way," after introducing the general situation, Yuange thought of something else: "Pigeon, have you modified any parts of your Fisherman's Fury?"

Gu Wei shook his head and said, "No, I don't have any money."

He was not unfamiliar with mecha modification. After all, the last item in the personal information column was the degree of modification of the mecha.

To put it simply, you can modify your mecha in both online and offline ways. Needless to say, offline, after the modification is completed, you can just scan the data and update it in the game.

The situation online is a bit more complicated.

Some people simply don't have that much money in real life, so they just spend some money to have fun in the game. After all, virtual products are definitely much cheaper than real ones.

Some people first debug and match the game continuously, summarize a set of perfect magic combination, and then complete the synchronization in reality.

If it's a little more extreme.

The player's entire mecha is a self-designed product, and he can even participate in the selection of super-level mechas.

In addition, compared with offline changes, there is also a situation that goes against the rules online.

For example, Gu Wei’s "Angler's Wrath".

The direct reason why the Fisherman's Fury fell behind was that the mecha could not adapt to "Argon", that is, the density coefficient and plane point group of the material that triggered the fifth generation of innovation, and was completely abandoned by the generation.

But in the game "Mech Overlord", this restriction is not as extreme as in reality.

As long as you pay enough, you can equip the Angler's Fury with 'Argon' materials - the only impact is that the material's performance efficiency is not as high as other mechas.

In the past period of time, Gu Wei has actually visited the modification market quite a lot, and he is quite fond of some of the modification modules.

However, his wallet was limited in thickness, and Gu Wei inherited the rabbits' fear of insufficient firepower, which was the money version of his fear, so he had never been willing to upgrade his mecha.

"It has never been modified before." Yuange's tone was a little hesitant, but he soon made a decision: "Then I'll give you a small part."

Followed by.

Before Gu Wei could react, a prompt appeared in front of him:
[Received a gift from player "Yuan Ge", 1 Light Dome Thruster, 1 Star Mark Shield, do you want to accept it? Yes/No]

Gu Wei: “????”

"After all, I'm the one who dragged you here to fight in the civil war. This time, the opponent is not weak either. It's good to have more chances to save your life." Yuange took the initiative to explain, as if he was worried that Gu Wei would refuse. "These two are the equipment I discarded. They are not worth much, but the quality is good. The light dome thruster can be used for a long time, and the star mark shield probably has 20 to 30 times of durability left. After all, your conditions are not easy."

Gu Wei: “.”

After hearing Yuange's last words, Gu Wei suddenly remembered something:

When they first met, Yuange was surprised by the Fishing Man's Fury. To save trouble, Gu Wei made up a reason that his family had no money and his parents had to scrape together a lot of money to buy a Fishing Man's Fury. But now it seems...
Yuange seemed to believe it?
No, are all these foreigners so simple?
Then Gu Wei hesitated for a while and asked Big Eyes, "Big Eyes, what do you think?"

"."

The big eyeball that turned into an intelligent brain was silent for a moment: "This is really a rich woman."

Gu Wei: “?”

"Let me tell you, these two devices are not just common stuff," Big Eyeball explained leisurely, "The Light Dome Thruster uses the principle of global light pressure acceleration, and uses the light pressure effect to achieve fluid-free propulsion. It can increase the speed by more than 2 times while being compatible with your engine. Moreover, each time this thing is conventionally propulsed, it will accumulate the space-time curvature distortion value. When the distortion value is ≥ 80%, it can also trigger short-distance quantum tunneling, and directly ignore the physical obstacles on the path to complete the crossing."

"As for the Star Mark Shield, it's also not ordinary. The generator of this thing contains pulsar core powder. It generates a dynamic neutron degenerate state barrier by stimulating the iron-260 isotope decay chain with a half-life of 60 million years. It can withstand the impact of a megaton nuclear warhead exploding in the face. It can also guide the enemy's energy attack to the preset gravitational focus and deflect the attack using a principle similar to the refraction of a gravitational lens."

"In the Star Sea battlefield, Light Dome Tunneling + Star Mark Focusing is even a very mature coordinated tactic - by tunneling to the center of the enemy formation and simultaneously tuning the shield to a gravitational lens, the firepower can be refracted and gathered into a suicidal crossfire net to effectively kill."

"In terms of price, a set of brand new Light Dome Thrusters plus Star Mark Shields is enough to buy twenty units of Fisherman's Fury - I mean the original ones that won't be possessed. Even if they are second-hand now, they won't be much cheaper."

Gu Wei: “.”

Damn it?

Is it that awesome?

No wonder the big eyeballs even burst out with foul language.
So Gu Wei moved his lips, reconnected the call and said to Yuange: "Yuange, this equipment is too expensive, I don't..."

"Alright, alright, stop wasting time," Gu Wei was interrupted by Yingge before he could finish his words: "I've already said this is equipment I don't need. The Star Mark Shield might be scrapped after a few times. Why should I refuse it?"

"Besides, I am also considering the upcoming civil war. Your Fisherman's Fury is too confusing. With your strength and these two parts, it might bring some small surprises. Hurry up, the game is about to start!"

"."

Seeing that Yingge had said this, Gu Wei had no choice but to swallow back what he had originally wanted to say: "Then I will accept it shamelessly. By the way, Yuange, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes," Yuange said with an eye-rolling tone, "My artificial black hole has inexplicably evaporated a lot recently. If you can solve this problem, don't even mention the light dome thrusters. I will just worship you in the bathroom - if you can't solve it, stop talking nonsense."

Gu Wei swallowed hard: ".?"

Artificial black hole?
If any other stranger said this in front of Gu Wei, even though this is the Star Sea World, Gu Wei would still be more or less suspicious.

But the person who spoke at this moment was a super rich woman, so the credibility of her words instantly became close to 100%
anyway.

How much would an artificial black hole be worth, if it had value?

Then, considering that Yuange was obviously showing signs of anger, Gu Wei immediately clicked to accept.

Swah——

next second.

In Gu Wei’s personal information column.

In the originally empty [Renovation Module], two options appeared silently:

Light Dome Thrusters (installable), Starscar Shields (installable).
