Abnormal crossing

Chapter 284 Garbled text?

Inside the cave.

Gu Wei rubbed his eyes, somewhat bewildered.

No.

What about such a large beaked mech?

It just disappeared?
The next second.

Gu Wei's alarm bells immediately went off, and he instantly maxed out the defense module of Fishing Man's Wrath—regardless of how the Sharp-Beaked Mech disappeared, the kill notification of "[Catch up, hehehe]" was prominently displayed in front of him.

Hey bro got KO'd again.jpg

In other words.

The plant in front of me is definitely an enemy, not a friend.

that's it.

Gu Wei controlled [Fisherman's Wrath] and stood ready for a good five or six minutes. The light of the energy shield flickered steadily in the dim cave, ready to deal with any possible flowers or other unexpected events.

However, the expected scene did not occur.

The massive ice wall in front still stood menacingly, radiating a visible chill, and the peach tree in the center of the ice remained unchanged—except for one branch missing a flower bud.

Everything was eerily quiet, as if the system notification that the sharp-beaked mech had vanished into thin air and that Hehehe had been instantly killed was just an illusion.

"."

Inside the cockpit, Gu Wei frowned deeply. He tried calling out to Yuan Ge and the Red Elite Soldier through the communication channel, and even sent a private message to Hei Hei Hei, but there was still no response.

"Hey, Big Eyes," Gu Wei couldn't help but call for backup, "Stop playing dead, have you figured it out? What the hell is that thing?"

“I don’t know either,” the big-eyed voice said with rare hesitation and confusion. “Anyway, this thing definitely didn’t appear in the Universal Cataclysm. I’m 100% sure of that.”

"Furthermore, logically speaking, Mechmasters rarely generates such inexplicable things—it's true that the Mechmasters mastermind has a wicked sense of humor, but it usually tries to avoid going down the path of mysticism. Of course, it could also just be that you were unlucky."

While talking.

The relaxed tone in Big Eyes' voice was gone, and even the songs by Tia that could be faintly heard before had temporarily stopped playing.

Just as he said.

This special plant certainly did not appear during the Universal Cataclysm—although the exploration team of the Universal Ruins was almost completely wiped out the moment the alien tide appeared, many of their mech remains were later collected and gathered by the Star Sea Alliance.

The mech's built-in equipment recorded a lot of exploration footage, including footage of the destruction of that special building, and there was absolutely no trace of this peach blossom plant in any of these events.

As for the possibility of Mechmasters being an original work...
To know.

Although the Beaked Mech is geared towards speed and lethality, it is, after all, a mid-tier mech from the eighth generation.

Within the scope of the Star Sea.

There are many weapons and methods that can destroy the Beaked Mech. In high-power scenarios—that is, large-scale weapons like planet-destroying cannons—it is not impossible to instantly vaporize the Beaked Mech.

But in cases like the one just now, where a single flower completely evaporated the Beaked Mech.
Top-tier civilizations might be able to accomplish this at some cost, but such high-cost behavior actually contradicts the generation logic of the "Mech Overlord" mastermind and is closer to the realm of mysticism in its manifestation.

To put it bluntly, if this kind of video were to be disseminated on the Xinghai Internet platform, it could potentially stir up trouble among certain groups who are unaware of the facts.

This pace may not be very large, but it certainly falls into the category of instability.

Therefore, under normal circumstances.

Mechmasters may generate enemies that are so powerful they can kill the player in one hit, but the creatures' appearances are often on par with their lethality—like the art style of battleships that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Lu Bu wielding a halberd is far more believable than Dongfang Bubai, who could kill with a mere needle.

Then, Big Eyes thought for a moment and said to Gu Wei, "How about this, you measure its biomass level and see what the value is."

This time, Gu Wei did it very quickly.

Previously, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Gu Wei had kept the object detection radar locked and hadn't switched on the mass-energy detector. But now, whether the object detection radar was on or off was obviously no longer important, so he simply freed up his hands and switched on the mass-energy detector.

The operation of a mass energy detector is slightly more complex than that of a geomagnetic radar, but only slightly more complex – unlike geomagnetic radar which can automatically scan by simply pressing a switch, it requires an additional step of aiming at the target.
Yes, that's the only extra step.

But if even [Catching Up Hehehe] doesn't understand this, what else can Gu Wei say?
After a while.

On the main screen of Gu Wei's cockpit, the mass-energy detector interface, which had been locked onto the peach tree, suddenly started flashing garbled text.

Subsequently, instead of displaying any numbers in the numerical field representing the target energy level, a series of scarlet symbols were clearly refreshed:

[Target energy level: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ]

Gu Wei: "."

Big Eyes: "What the hell?"

If this plant could be the product of a sudden whim of the "MechWarrior" mastermind, then the current mass-energy detector interface is definitely an inexplicable situation.

Because it is different from radar.

Devices like radar vary greatly in principle, materials, and power, and these differences directly affect the outcome of a player's game.

Just like the India-Pakistan air battle before Gu Wei's time travel.

The Chinese early warning aircraft locked onto the enemy as soon as the Rafale took off, while the enemy had no idea of ​​the J-10C's location, which ultimately led to the meme of "6-0 on Tianya".

But mass-energy detectors are different.

In the game, the strength difference between players can be directly judged by the mechs and scores. The mass energy detector measures the strength of neutral creatures in the game, so there is no need to hide this strength difference.

The intuitive data shows that it can actually better drive the game progress—for example, a neutral NPC with a strength of 500 Pnumar is higher than the team's strongest combat power, but if three mechs with a score of 3000 are mobilized, it may be possible to take it down.

If the number were 10,000 instead of 500, the commander would definitely turn around and leave while humming as he hears you, to avoid getting whipped.

But if the specific values ​​are not displayed, how would anyone know how much more powerful this NPC is than themselves?
The essence of "Mech Overlord" is player-versus-player combat, or PVP. Neutral NPCs are only used to provide various buffs and gameplay. If the boundaries are too blurred, it will affect the player's gaming experience.

So, putting aside the actual situation for now, at least in the game "Mech Overlord", all neutral creatures can have their energy levels displayed by the mass-energy detector.

That's really strange.

Inside the cockpit, Gu Wei's brows furrowed tightly, his entire being resembling the pained expression on Wolf's face from S10: "What on earth is going on?"
