For these mercenaries, these medieval cross-dressing enthusiasts who appeared out of nowhere were very troublesome. Some mercenaries even placed orders to find someone to assassinate these people.
However, these medieval cross-dressing enthusiasts are still active in the city until now, and it is unknown what the difference is between the mercenaries who do the work and the mercenaries who are paid.
In addition to these active undead who act as the embodiment of justice at the bottom, there is another group of undead who enjoy a life of luxury around the city center.
Niuniu Street and Genting Highlands were their regular haunts. Every morning, they'd wake up and go for a stroll, figuring out where to have some fun. As for money... their boss, Sun Yang, would regularly send them money, and if they ran out, they'd have to complete missions. Things like stealing intelligence, stalking, or kidnapping.
The undead people naturally knew each other's situations, but they did not become hostile or hate each other. Sun Yang allowed them to do what they wanted, but also set rules for them. If they could not act within the rules, they should get out of this city and go back to Dolan Gureg.
This is unacceptable to the undead who have experienced modern life. Even the undead who practice their own justice in the slums have to admit that they yearn for warm beds, wireless networks, and 24-hour hot water.
No matter where they were, it was much more comfortable than moving around in the ruins of Dolan Gureg. In that completely lost country after the war, the only way they could sleep peacefully was to find a secluded cave to hide in.
After looking around for a while and feeling that there was nothing he could do for the time being, Sun Yang activated the world transfer device in his office. He wanted to go to the XCOM world and pressure the people there into handing over the Sky Fortress's blueprints and professionals.
Sun Yang wasn't going to crush the aliens for nothing. Perhaps there are indeed people who would fight for honor and survival, and when it's all over, they would retire without asking for any reward. But Sun Yang was clearly not one of those noble people.
I hope the people in XCOM can understand that if a person can crush aliens, he can also crush other things.
The world doesn't stop when it reaches its happy end, and the stories that follow are always painful. New disputes, new arguments, new crises...
Perhaps there is a way to solve the problem once and for all, but not now, not here, not with this person.
***
"Long time no see, Commander Lunna," Sun Yang appeared on the XCOM Avenger's flagship, a flash of fire, his spiral sword in hand. "How have you been lately?"
He was wearing a long, loose-fitting black trench coat and carrying a spiral sword. Sun Yang thought he had fulfilled his protocol—showing up without armor was already a gesture of respect.
Opposite Sun Yang was a thin young woman who was eating Polish dumplings with vegetable salad in big mouthfuls. She seemed to have not changed much from before.
If I had to say something, it would be that her figure is better. It seems that she can have a good rest and eat now that the alien crisis is over.
"You, you just appeared like this..." Lena wiped her mouth and danced around in shock, "You just appeared out of thin air like that?!"
"What are you talking about, you who can teleport with psychic power? Is there any need to make such a fuss, elder?" Sun Yang complained back without hesitation, "Didn't I teleport away from here last time? I really won't move."
Commander Lunna's true identity is the Elders, a powerful alien race that invaded this planet. This race possesses powerful psychic abilities, using them to develop a variety of bizarre technologies. The psychic communication protocol used by humanoids was developed by the Elders of this world and passed on to humans.
"Yeah, one second there was nothing, and the next second a unit with an extremely high energy level suddenly appeared. Even before psychic teleportation, there would be signs of energy instability. Forget it, what do you want to ask me for?" Commander Lunna rolled her eyes. "People like you wouldn't come here in person unless it was necessary. Did the robot you sent here complain to you?"
"Not really. The cooperation is going smoothly, and the various technologies you have are very useful... It's just that some special technologies would be opposed if my humanoid proposed them, so I came here in person. My dear Lena." Sun Yang took a step forward, and Commander Lena jumped out of the chair and took several steps back.
"Who's talking to you, dear? What are you going to do? I'm warning you, I'm not married yet. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're so powerful. Haven't you seen how strong I am?" Commander Lena's body was immediately wrapped in a purple energy, and her psychic power was still very strong.
"Oh, sorry, I'm used to talking to my humanoids. Sorry, sorry," Sun Yang scratched his head. "I want the technology for the Sky Fortress. To be more precise, I want the technology for robots to learn how to build XCOM and giant aircraft."
"You're looking for really sensitive technology," Lena frowned. "Even if you've done a lot, I can't just share it with others for free. You understand."
"I can perform handstands, eating and drinking, and actual genuine backflips. Believe me, I can do this all day long." Sun Yang didn't even blink when he was talking nonsense.
"Who wants to watch you do a backflip?" Lena was speechless.
580 Technology Exchange and Cultivation
Although Lunna was full of disdain, she was quite quick in her actions. These core technologies were not obtained for free, and even Sun Yang couldn't take them by force. After all, the XCOM commander Lunna was also a psychic with strong combat capabilities, and he might not be able to defeat her.
After some consideration, Sun Yang decided to offer some real core technology in exchange - some holographic production technology.
Sun Yang has never delivered this magical technology from the mountains to any organization. He knows very well how terrifying this technology is.
As long as there is energy, we can continuously produce any materials needed for survival and construction. This is a technology that would be amazing even in the space age.
As long as there are enough holographic production machines and spare parts, a spacecraft that needs to fly for months or even years will not need to prepare an ecological garden or a large amount of durable food reserves. Whatever is needed can be simply pressed a button. The energy required to start the machine can even be directly used from the spacecraft's power source.
This is Griffin's true core technology. Most military technologies can be upgraded with more advanced materials and production blueprints. However, no matter how advanced the equipment, it cannot be ignored on the battlefield.
Holographic technology solves this problem. It can not only produce ammunition on the spot, but also produce new bodies and equipment. Just think about it and you will understand how dangerous it is if it leaks out.
Sun Yang ultimately only delivered the technology for producing food, and only to XCOM's senior scientific researchers.
"I won't give you the technical details of producing weapons, but these food production technologies should be enough for you to deal with the famine problems in various places." Sun Yang explained to Lena.
"These are enough." Lena did not bargain. She just asked her chief scientist to study and analyze whether these technologies are feasible.
But to be honest, Sun Yang's operation is not very effective, and this technology will be leaked one day.
Although it is troublesome to reversely deduce the methods of producing other materials from the technology of producing food, there is always a way to find them, and it is only a matter of time before they are discovered.
Sun Yang delivered a degraded version of the holographic production technology, but with XCOM's scientific research capabilities, it is entirely possible to iterate and upgrade based on this degraded production technology. It is only a matter of time before it catches up with the level of the original version.
In exchange for this precious technology, Commander Lena is completely open to the technology. As long as Sun Yang wants the technology, she will let her subordinates cooperate fully.
Even if the technology Sun Yang needed was only in the hands of the former Security Council and aliens, she would directly issue orders in her capacity as the commander of XCOM, asking Sun Yang to take people to copy and learn these technologies.
Sun Yang was not sure whether he had lost or gained. Subjectively, he felt that he had lost, but the prerequisite technologies required to build a giant aerial fortress were too many, and the humanoids trained in the base during this period were simply not enough to start from scratch through research and trial and error.
Why not use it when it's already there? He wasn't even a comprador. A comprador only buys goods. Sun Yang learned the technology by trading it in.
After finalizing the technical details of the deal, Sun Yang became idle. He left the technical difficulties and handover details to his humanoids and XCOM's scientific team, and he was unable to participate in academic exchanges.
As someone without any professional skills, I only need to show up when the advancement is blocked, so that the other side can use their hidden skills.
Compared to herself, Commander Lunna was much busier. The remaining aliens still kept her busy, and sometimes she also had to participate in conflicts around the world as a politician. She was definitely a busy person.
It's great to have all my subordinates in human form. I don't have to worry about anything except problems I can't solve. Sun Yang usually stays at XCOM's headquarters, and no one bothers him.
However, according to Commander Lena, when Sun Yang stayed at the base, the Earth Council, which had always opposed her before, suddenly became much more restrained in its attitude. Although they were still stubborn, they spoke much more politely.
The remaining alien armed forces in various places also quickly went dormant. Originally, there were dozens of small-scale armed conflicts around the world every day, but after Sun Yang arrived, there were only one or two per day. His mere presence was enough to restore the ability of many aliens and earthlings who wanted to make trouble.
"After I broadcast the news of your arrival, these stinking bugs kept quiet," Lunna briefly explained to Sun Yang. "Many people still remember what you did, and your deeds have been written into history textbooks. Not many people survive to be written into history books."
Those aliens and people from the Earth Council who were frightened by Sun Yang's killing are still alive. They have personally experienced that some people should never be provoked.
Although there was a suspicion of being taken advantage of, Sun Yang was relatively tolerant. He wouldn't be so fussy as to ask for more technology or resources for such a matter. Sometimes being generous would make subsequent cooperation more convenient.
Learning the technology of the Sky Fortress is a long and complicated process. Even though the humanoids' speed of summarizing information and learning ability are much faster than humans, it still requires a process.
Sun Yang planned to wait for the key nodes in Night City to occur in the world of XCOM, and at the same time test the limits of his own strength.
***
"Huh..." Sun Yang breathed a sigh of relief and cast the spells he had learned on himself in order.
[Liberate Magic] Temporarily shortens your vitality limit, bringing about magic power beyond the limit.
[Inner Potential] A dangerous spell originating from the lost continent of Lordran. It absorbs fire and activates the body's inner strength, but this power is too strong and will continue to erode the body's vitality.
Rings... Two Rings of Strength from the farmer, a Ring of Roaring Dragon's Glory from Strider, and a North Temple Priest Ring. The first three rings increase his spellcasting power, while the last one increases his mana bar.
The power surging in his body soon reached its peak. After hesitating for a moment, Sun Yang took out a black mask from his waist and put it on his head, then grasped a magical dagger in his hand.
As soon as the mask was put on, it further absorbed the vitality in Sun Yang's body, while the dagger provided some magic power enhancement.
[Mask of the Black Witch] and [Blue Dagger], the former increases the spell power by 10 times at the cost of 1.05% of health, and the latter increases the spell power by 1.05 times at the cost of reduced resistance.
Considering that all the current equipment and spells are not much different from the data in the game, Sun Yang can easily calculate the effect of this set of BUFF after superposition.
1X1.2(解放魔力)X1.4(内在潜力)X1.2(狂吼龙辉戒指)X1.05(黑魔女面罩)X1.05(青之短刀)结果为2.22264,最后再加上两枚力量戒指0.4的增幅。结果为2.62264。
If you erase the numbers at the end, it's a 2.6-fold increase. An average person who barely exercises can now carry the pace of an adult walking briskly.
The purpose of all this Sun Yang did was to train his teleportation ability. He had the humanoids spend a month building a huge teleportation target for training.
This target is much larger than XCOM's flagship. Sun Yang asked the humanoids to make a shell based on the data of the Hyperion in "StarCraft 2" for him to train his teleportation ability.
To do this, he must conduct teleportation training outside the XCOM base, otherwise the chain reaction caused by the failure of teleportation is likely to cause a series of small earthquakes in the XCOM base.
Huh, huh... The boiling power made Sun Yang's body feel as if it was burning. The power brought by these rings and the burden on the body almost killed him.
Summon. Sun Yang raised the Spiral Sword high and released all the stored magic power in his body in one breath. The immense power in his body guided the teleportation target prepared by the humanoids from another world, attempting to transport it to the world of XCOM.
In an instant, his body was drained of energy, and as his mental strength was drained, his vitality began to be rapidly drained. The intense mental and physical pain caused Sun Yang's consciousness to disconnect.
boom--! ! ! !
A nearly kilometer-long, hollow warship landed before him, stirring up dust that sent Sun Yang flying dozens of meters. It had barely been summoned, but due to Sun Yang's insufficient strength, the warship's exterior bore numerous cracks and damage.
Sun Yang took several minutes to calm down before stabbing his spiral sword into the ground and restoring himself. He then launched hundreds of reconnaissance drones, commanding the humanoid figures from another world to fly them into the battleship to assess the damage.
A few minutes later, the humanoids submitted an assessment report. If the current mass was used, 60% of the fragile materials would be destroyed during the transmission. Restoring the original production and scientific research equipment would take at least a month.
It's not enough. Sun Yang sat on the ground, enduring the waves of pain in his head. His original plan was to leave some redundancy for special circumstances, but now it seemed that he was barely touching the bottom line.
The current size of this battleship is just right for carrying the necessary production equipment, scientific research equipment, and mobile combat forces. If it were any smaller, the cargo capacity would have to be reduced, or the number of troops carried would have to be reduced.
During these months of training, Sun Yang's teleportation and physical abilities had clearly improved. Initially, his teleportation had even caused the target to break into several pieces, forcing the humanoids to repair it for half a month. Now, the target can be fully restored in just one day after being dragged back.
But in his recent practice, Sun Yang could clearly feel that he had reached a bottleneck, and the results of his recent transmission had only shown a slight improvement.
His intuition as an immortal told him that further cultivation would lead to no further progress. This body had probably been tempered to its limit.
It seemed that due to the intense and relentless tormenting of his body day and night, his attributes had also improved significantly. He was already a top-tier player.
【活力85精力85体力85意志力99力量45敏捷42适应力66智力70信仰99】
The potential in his body has been fully developed. If he wants to become stronger, he needs to hunt more souls to strengthen himself. But where can he find so many souls for him to hunt now?
Sun Yang had also tried absorbing animal souls at the world's largest slaughterhouse, but the efficiency was far too low. Working at peak efficiency for 24 hours straight, it would take Sun Yang a month to reach the next level.
Is it really going to shrink? Just as Sun Yang was staring at the spaceship in front of him, thinking hard, the spiral sword in his hand suddenly made a strange movement.
With a flash of fire, a tall, thin figure emerged from the sword's tip. He patted his dark robe and looked around warily.
"Master Sun Yang? What are you doing?" Strade took off the metal mask on his face and looked at Sun Yang in some surprise.
"I'm exercising. What's wrong with you? Have you died in Lordran?" Sun Yang told the truth.
"I could move around normally in Lordran in ancient times, and it was no problem after I became stronger. I just wanted to use the power of teleportation to visit other worlds, but I ended up coming out of the spiral sword... I am also a person bound by the First Flame." Strade knocked on Sun Yang's spiral sword and sighed.
"Why don't you take a break before continuing your adventure? You look tired too." Sun Yang suggested.
"Alright. I've just finished exploring Lordran, and I was planning to report back to you." Strade glanced at the massive battleship behind him. "We really need to have a chat."
