From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

This Malacca Channel mission is the first overseas mission of the Qianlong Special Forces, and it is related to the control of the world's first channel in the future, so not only the Southern Theater is paying attention, but also the entire Daxia high-level officials are paying attention.

Since the departure of the special forces, Lu Heng has received the latest mission report every day.

On the first day, the deep-sea team of the special forces entered the Andaman Sea and began to look for the location of the seabed rift. They encountered a group of abyss lice and continued to explore after cleaning them up.

On the second day, the deep-sea team continued to explore the Andaman Sea. Nothing happened that day, and they began to gradually reduce the exploration area.

On the third day, the deep-sea team was attacked by a high-level abyss monster on the seabed. Cao Lixiong protected the team and retreated to the sea surface. Together with the team members who supported the sea surface, they killed the 30-meter-long multi-headed demon snake.

On the fourth day...

While the special forces were performing their missions, Lu Heng was practicing the Wind Dragon Absolute Slash in Binhai.

The proficiency of the Wind Dragon Absolute Slash LV1 has been practiced to (932/1000), and it is not far from full practice.

On the fifth day of the special forces' mission, the Fire Emblem accumulated a batch of quenching orders.

Lu Heng came to the Quenching Castle for quenching and completed the quenching orders above +6, three of which were spirit infusion.

After finishing, the professional experience of the master quencher increased by 510 points.

Since the quencher level was upgraded to the master level, it is difficult to gain professional experience for quenching operations below +6, so this part of the quenching orders was handed over to Yuan Hecheng to complete.

Yuan Hecheng did not have to take into account combat power like Lu Heng, and put all his energy on quenching, so his quenching professional level increased quickly.

More than half a year has passed, and he has rushed to the advanced quencher.

Sometimes, Lu Heng did not have time to complete the quenching orders, and the customer wanted it more urgently, so he would also do the quenching above +6 for him.

Now Yuan Hecheng is the quencher with the highest skill level in the Quenching Castle, except for Guru and Lu Heng.

After Lu Heng completed the quenching orders accumulated during this period, he looked back and saw Yuan Hecheng was still busy.

As the quenching market grows, there are many low-level quenching orders, so Yuan Hecheng has work almost every day.

Lu Heng's main purpose of quenching is to improve the quenching level and obtain flame resistance.

Therefore, quenching work that cannot gain professional experience is basically not done.

Yuan Hecheng is different. He does quenching not only for professional experience, but more importantly for making money.

In the past six months, as his quenching skills have become more and more advanced, he has made a lot of money and has paid back the money for the [Fluid Metal] crystal core absorbed by his daughter Yuan Yaoyao.

Lin Zeyu bought this [Fluid Metal] crystal core at a high price and planned to use it himself.

However, this crystal core can only be used for Lin Zeyu, but the adaptability is not particularly high.

Yuan Yaoyao's initial talent is [Mechanical Heart], which is perfectly compatible with the [Fluid Metal] skill.

So, when Yuan Hecheng came for help, Lu Heng gave the [Fluid Metal] crystal core to Yuan Yaoyao when they could not pay.

The purchase price of this crystal core was 40 million.

Yuan Hecheng has been working hard for the past six months and has been paying back the money. He finally paid it back last month.

Paying back the money is not the end, but a new beginning.

Because Yuan Hecheng found that his daughter would be recruited to the Abyss Battlefield every once in a while. Although she came back without any illness or disaster every time, he was always worried.

So he wanted to make more money and buy resources to help his daughter improve her combat power.

For this reason, as long as he could make money, he would take any quenching work.

Seeing that Yuan Hecheng was still busy, Lu Heng did not disturb him. He waved to him and left the forging room.

When he returned to the front hall of the Quenching Castle, he met Yuan Yaoyao head-on.

Yuan Yaoyao was wearing a dress. When she saw Lu Heng, she showed a mixture of childishness and cleverness on her face. She trotted over and took Lu Heng's hand to run to the second-floor balcony.

"What's wrong?" Lu Heng asked in confusion.

Yuan Yaoyao ran to the south balcony of the living room on the second floor, closed the door with her backhand, pushed Lu Heng into the chair, and then sat aside, saying seriously: "Brother Lu, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Lu Heng looked her up and down, and could not see any problem, no different from before.

Yuan Yaoyao sat up straight, took a deep breath and said: "I was recruited yesterday."

"Going to the Sykes civilization again?" Lu Heng asked her before. So far, all her recruitments have been to the Sykes civilization.

It may be because her mechanical heart is particularly compatible with the Sykes world, coupled with the space anchor point and the Black Feather Spirit Mechanical Angel, multiple reasons have made her often recruited to the Sykes world.

Yuan Yaoyao shook her head and said: "Not this time, this recruitment is very strange."

Generally speaking, the recruitment of the Abyss Battlefield will evaluate the combat power of the recruited, and the same superpower has different combat power ratings in different worlds.

Yuan Yaoyao's combat power rating will be very high in the future technology world, but it will be relatively low in other worlds.

So, Lu Heng casually guessed: "Another cyber world?"

Yuan Yaoyao shook her head again: "Actually, I'm not sure, because I was summoned this time and didn't even leave the initial space."

Lu Heng began to feel curious and asked: "What happened? Tell me in detail."

Yuan Yaoyao began to describe the process of her summoning this time:

"I was recruited this time. After the transmission was completed, I appeared in a strange space surrounded by many luminous lines, like a cyberneural network.

"I'm floating in mid-air, I can't feel gravity, so I won't fall.

"When I summoned the Black Feather Spirit and wanted to move.

“The neural network in the space around me lit up and started talking to me.

"He told me that he knew who I was and what my mission was, but he asked me to stay where I was until the mission was over.

“He also promised me generous compensation as long as I stayed where I was until the mission was over.

"He also showed me the compensation list, which contained [Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core]. This crystal core can increase the skill slot.

“I’m actually very curious about what the outside world is like.

"However, after analysis of the crystal core of my optical brain system, I believe that the level of civilization in the world is beyond the scope of cognition, and it is recommended that I follow the other party's requirements.

"The analysis of the optical brain system has never been missed, so I followed the instructions and stayed at home for fifteen days listening to music and watching TV.

"After the time is over, I really got a [Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core], look."

After she finished speaking, she took out a super crystal core and held it up in front of Lu Heng.

Lu Heng's eyes widened when he saw the super crystal core.

It has been a year and a half since the arrival of the Abyss. I have heard of [Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core] a few times, but I have only seen it twice.

The first time was the one from the Gong family, and the second time was the one in front of me.

After being recruited, if you lie down and watch TV for fifteen days, you can get a [Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core]. Is there such a good thing?

If this matter were told, no one would believe it, but Lu Heng believed it.

Because Lu Heng remembered an incident before his rebirth.

This civilization that requires the recruits to stay put and is willing to compensate them is probably the world in their memory... related to the source of reincarnation.

The behavior of this civilization is very strange. The recruiters are sent there with a mission, but this civilization requires the recruiters not to participate in the mission, and is willing to give more generous compensation than completing the mission.

This situation seems very illogical on the surface, but it does happen.

In Lu Heng's memory, the process described by other people with powers after their return was similar to Yuan Yaoyao's situation.

Of course, there are also people with superpowers who disobey the requirements of this weird civilization and want to force their way out. As a result, they lose consciousness instantly and when they wake up, they have returned to Blue Star.

Yes.

The process is very strange. This civilization will prevent the recruiter's actions, but will not kill the recruiter.

Once the recruit resists, they will use some method to make the recruit unconscious until the recruitment time is over.

In the last life, many people with superpowers discussed this weird civilization and speculated on why they did this.

Lu Heng has also thought about this problem, but no matter how he analyzes it, he feels that this civilization's behavior does not comply with normal logic.

In addition, there were very few people recruited to this weird civilization. In my memory, they were only recruited two or three times in the previous life. No one could break out of the initial space, and no one knew the reason why this civilization did this.

Lu Heng put himself in the shoes of this weird civilization and felt that they might not want the recruiters to destroy the balance of their world.

Only this explanation is more reasonable.

Whatever the reason, one thing is certain, the level of this weird civilization is far above humans, even far above the Sykes civilization.

"Brother Lu, are you listening?" Yuan Yaoyao waved her hand in front of Lu Heng.

"Yes, I heard it." Lu Heng was lost in memories just now, so he was distracted.

"Don't you believe what I said?" Yuan Yaoyao also felt that what she said was too incredible, and adults might not believe it.

Lu Heng nodded and said, "I believe this world must be very strange."

Yuan Yaoyao's eyes lit up, she held up the super crystal core in her hand and said happily: "Really? Then I'll give this crystal core to you."

Lu Heng was stunned and reminded: "This crystal core is a priceless treasure. If others find out about it, they might send mercenaries to snatch it."

Yuan Yaoyao nodded and affirmed: "I know, but I want to give it to you."

Lu Heng thought about it seriously, bent her fingers back to hold the crystal core, and said: "Use it yourself. To survive in the abyss era, each recruitment must be improved, otherwise the subsequent recruitments will become more and more difficult." Danger."

A [Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core] can increase combat power a lot. Lu Heng actually wanted it, but it was a little cold-blooded to take such an important treasure from a little girl.

Moreover, Lu Heng has three more skill slots than Yuan Yaoyao. This crystal core will be a greater improvement for Yuan Yaoyao and may even determine her future destiny.

If she really took this crystal core and failed to come back from the abyss battlefield in the future, she would definitely not be able to overcome this hurdle in her heart.

Yuan Yaoyao thought for a moment and took out another thing: "Then this is for you."

The thing I took out this time was a cubic transparent crystal. After checking its properties, I found that it turned out to be [Abyss Law Assimilation Crystal Nucleus].

As the name suggests, this kind of crystal core can assimilate weapons and equipment with laws, and the effect is the same as using divine energy to assimilate.

To put it simply, this crystal core can replace divine energy and assimilate the laws of an item.

However, this crystal core does not give the opportunity to get a bug. The data limits the mass of the items that can be assimilated, and the upper limit of the mass of the items is 100kg.

In other words, it is impossible to assimilate a tank or a battleship into the abyss world.

Lu Heng does have an item that needs to be assimilated, which is the S-level treasure [Space Confinement Orb] obtained from the Elf World.

This [Space Confinement Orb] was used by the Great Arcanist Augustus to exchange for the [Magic Secret Book].

At that time, Lu Heng's entire team and Fiona were locked in the magic tower by this [Space Confinement Orb]. It was only after Teris came that the energy attack of the magic tower was broken and several people were released.

This S-level [Space Confinement Orb] is very powerful and fully worthy of the S-level.

Lu Heng got this orb, but it has been kept in the inventory.

Because there is not enough divine energy for law assimilation, it cannot be taken out on Blue Star.

Now Yuan Yaoyao took out a [Abyss Law Assimilation Crystal Core], which can be used to assimilate the [Space Confinement Orb].

Lu Heng took the crystal core and asked: "Have you thought about it? Do you really want to give me this treasure? This treasure is also very precious and cannot be bought outside."

Yuan Yaoyao nodded seriously: "I got both crystal cores by staying at home and watching TV for 15 days. I'll give you one. You can take either one."

"Increasing your skill slots will greatly improve you. You can keep it for yourself. If you must give it to me, give me this law assimilation crystal core." Lu Heng said.

"Okay." Yuan Yaoyao nodded happily, and then began to absorb the [Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core].

After a while, the number of her skill slots increased from 3 to 4.

"My skill slots have increased, brother Lu, what skill do you think I should learn?" Yuan Yaoyao was very happy.

"Don't worry, you can decide when you find the right skill. Since you gave me such a valuable treasure, I will give you something too." Lu Heng accepted her valuable treasure and decided to help her upgrade her skills.

"What is the gift?" Yuan Yaoyao's eyes lit up immediately, because she had never received a gift from Lu Heng.

In her opinion, the crystal core given at the beginning could not be considered a gift, after all, her father was paying back the money.

So, when she heard that Lu Heng was going to give her something, she immediately became happy.

"Have you fully practiced your skill proficiency now? Do you have divine energy? I'll see if I can help you upgrade your skills." Lu Heng said the "gift" he was going to give.

Yuan Yaoyao pouted and muttered softly: "It's not a gift..."

"What did you say? Speak louder, which skill do you want to upgrade?" Lu Heng asked again without hearing clearly.

"Well... [Fluid Metal] Okay, this skill proficiency is full, and the optical brain analysis shows that upgrading this skill will improve the most." Yuan Yaoyao was stunned for half a second, and then decided to choose the best upgraded skill according to the conclusion of the optical brain analysis.
