Chapter 78: New Players Online
The Republic of China, Fengyouxing space orbit.
A space fortress made of steel, like an asteroid, floats quietly in orbit, hiding itself in the back of the planet.
Fengyou Fortress, one of the oldest and most powerful space fortresses in China, has been China's national glory since its birth. It helped its motherland win three battles related to national destiny, and completely established China's status as the most powerful country today.
To this day, this space fortress has been floating in the sea of stars for nearly two hundred years. The long years have left deep marks on it. Fengyou Fortress is no longer as bright as it was a hundred years ago. Many people say that it has lagged behind the times. Even during the Sirius War, the Chinese military did not consider mobilizing Fengyou Fortress to rush to the front line. This fortress has gradually faded out of people's sight.
Once bustling, hundreds of warships entered and exited the fortress port every day. Today, Fengyou Fortress is still operating except for the lights leaking from the gaps in steel. It is as quiet as abandoned.
In fact, there are no service personnel in the entire fortress. Except for more than 500 self-disciplined robots used to maintain the normal operation of the fortress, there are almost no living creatures in the fortress.
Except for one person.
An old man with a small figure and silver hair and beard. He looks about sixty or seventy years old. Although he is thin and short, he is straight, with a knife-like look and energetic. His straight hair makes him stand out in a good temperament. However, under this majestic appearance, there is a brightly colored anime T-shirt, a pair of wide black sports shorts, and a pair of anime flip-flops. It looks out of place with the metallic steel forest atmosphere inside the fortress.
Of course, compared to the magic girl cartoon installed directly above the Fortress Grand Campus, the old man's dress is nothing...
The sound equipment that was supposed to play the magnificent military music was playing, but at this time the friction of love between girls was playing, echoing inside the empty fortress, making the atmosphere even more weird.
The old man stood on the rostrum of the school grounds intently watching the scene where the magic girls released their passions with each other, his eyebrows slightly frowned and his expression was extremely solemn...
Finally, the girls' battle came to an end, the ending song sounded, and the staff list appeared on the picture. The old man relaxed his expression, stretched his waist long, and then glanced at the time in the aftermath.
"It's already morning? Ahha, the long-lost Magic Girl Night, it's so amazing to watch cartoons all night!"
After saying that, the old man waved his hand, and a self-disciplined robot walked out of the control room, holding a playback chip of a boxed magic girl cartoon in his hand, and delivered it to the old man.
"As a matter of course, I am still relatively comfortable. When those soldiers were there before, they could not have such enjoyment. They wore the general uniform that was uncomfortable all day long, and they even had a tense face when they saw anyone, otherwise they would be criticized by the secretary for being so majestic. It's really a tragic. I am a six-star peerless master. Who dares to wipe out my majesty??"
As he said that, the old man stretched out the hem of the T-shirt with force, making the word majestic on the chest of the T-shirt look particularly eye-catching... The loli vampire printed next to the Majesty destroyed everything.
He talked to himself for a while, and while walking towards the cafeteria, the old man said to the air: "Speaking of the matter, what's the one that has been online on Sakurajima recently... Lingjian OL, is there any information?"
The next moment, a girl's ethereal voice came from the air: "It's not clear yet."
"I don't know? You remnants of the civilizations of the previous generation, oh no, don't observers like to peek at the human world the most and know everything? Why can't you handle this?"
"Observers only know what they see, not everything, and we don't like to steal..."
"Damn it, you guys who regard themselves as witnesses of history and only look at them but don't do them are generally omniscient in settings. Why are you so useless?"
"There is no such setting, you watch too many cartoons, which is confused with reality."
The old man shook his head impatiently: "Forget it, in short, at least it is certain that the game world is related to Sun Ze, right?"
"Yes, I can see the traces left by Sun Ze, and at the same time, I also see the shadows of the same kind."
"Well, it's normal for such a big thing to attract your attention. Sun Ze was born in the past, but everyone's chin was shocked. He was never willing to be lonely and could be the focus of attention wherever he went. There were at most ten observers around him, right? Unfortunately, he suddenly fell silent for decades and thought he was dead. As a result, he made such a big news all at once. It's true that even my old guy, who is indifferent to the world, was curious. A game world... how did he do it?"
"I don't know. Summoning a world, even when my civilization has not yet perished, it only exists in theory. I didn't expect that someone could really do it, and it was a wild species that had not been fully inherited. Human beings are really an incredible civilization."
"Haha, it's worthy of being Sun Ze. I didn't expect that he would not only walk ahead of several superpowers, but also surpass you, the inventors of the fire! However, these are also inseparable from the observers around him."
"Yes, there are many companions who have helped him, but it still makes me incredible that such a feat is accomplished."
"Why, want to go and have a look?"
"No, my observation object is you. Compared to Sun Ze, I am more interested in you than that game world."
"Then give me some benefits! After watching the drama for so many years, I even showed you the collection of magical girls I collected, but you can't even get the news I want to know!?"
“…”
As the old man walked, he said that he had arrived at the cafeteria. Two self-disciplined robots wearing chef aprons and white hats served a plate of egg bread with love painted rice, and coffee with flowers that pulled out the magic girl's mark. The old man nodded with satisfaction, and said vaguely while eating: "Speaking of this, I haven't played traditional online games for many years. I have been using the funds allocated to me by China over the years to play mobile games. It seems that according to industry insiders, I alone have supported several second-tier brain-dead mobile games on the verge of closing the server? However, over the years, I have been tired of krypton-money tycoon rich people, so why not find my original intention..."
"You just want to find Sun Ze, right?"
"Ha, Sun Ze is not a beautiful girl. What do I do when I go to him? I'm just from a veteran gamer...Wait, why did your voice change? It's exactly the same as a super annoying person?"
The ethereal girl in the air said, "Because I wasn't talking to you just now."
The next moment, the old man was shocked and jumped up and turned around. The fork in his hand was thrown out like a flying knife: "Zhong!"
The flying knife turned into a stream of light, pulled out a straight track, and then ended abruptly between a white and tender finger.
A tall and frosty female officer stood at the entrance of the cafeteria. Her fingers were together, and the metal fork broke into two pieces. Then she walked forward step by step, forcing the old man to retreat step by step.
"Zhang Qing, I warn you, I am a six-star master. Don't think that I am tolerating you in every way because I am afraid of you. As an elder, I am more tolerant of you young people, but I am very angry now, so be careful to slap you to death with a slap!"
The female officer nodded: "I am indeed not your opponent in space combat, but inside the fortress, as a five-star warrior specializing in personal combat, I can beat you up."
"...Zhang Qing, do you have to stop me?"
Zhang Qing said: "General Li, you are the only three six-star super soldiers in China. Leaving your post without permission will endanger national security."
"So I want me to spend the rest of my life in this iron bump like a prisoner?"
"You enjoy a special military budget of more than 50 billion yuan every year in this iron lump, which is more luxurious than any prince or noble..."
"More than 99% of these 50 billion miles are used for the maintenance of fortresses. What I personally enjoy is only one percent. I have fought for China for nearly a hundred years and helped China reach its current status. It is worth more than one trillion yuan? Enjoying a little basic feedback will still be something I owe you!?"
Zhang Qing couldn't help but feel weak when she heard this: "General Li... With your current situation, you can't actually walk. Fengyou Fortress has experienced too many battles and has long been overwhelmed. Now she can barely maintain the framework, but it is no longer possible to operate from a long distance."
"Then don't want this fortress. I've been tired of living for so many years."
"Ha?" Zhang Qing showed an incredible expression, "No, this fortress? General Li, this fortress is your ship's suit, your body, and has long become an inseparable part. This is common sense. Why are you talking nonsense now?"
"It's just the common sense of you mediocre people." General Li said, "or rather, it's the lies you used to deceive the super warriors, making them unaware of their importance and treat themselves as a weapon warehouse. But in fact, whether it's ship-mounted or warship-forming, they are all external objects. As long as my core is still there, everything is possible."
When Zhang Qing heard these words, her brows frowned slightly: "General Li, your remarks are no different from those of the wild species."
"What they said was right, otherwise how would you explain the game world created by Sun Ze? Such a big world cannot be created by any human factory."
Zhang Qing was speechless.
As soon as the Sakurajima incident occurred, countries were shocked by the powerful power displayed by wild species, and their most concerned things were the new world where Ono used to resettle wild species.
A virtualized game world... This completely breaks the theoretical system of super warriors in various countries, and the impact will be very far-reaching...
At least now, a veteran general who had lived in Fengyouxing's space orbit for many years had the idea of an expedition.
"Zhang Qing, thank you for taking care of me over the years. Although I know that the country sent you to monitor and control me, you are willing to be my personal secretary, help me with boring chores, and tolerate all kinds of absurd words and deeds... This time, tolerate me again."
Zhang Qing finally sighed, the frost on her face dissipated, and she said helplessly: "General, you know this is impossible. My task is to take good care of you and let you run to the world of wild species alone. How can I feel at ease?"
"So, I'll go together."
