Suddenly hearing the system's voice, Lin Yang was delighted: "System, have you completed the upgrade?"However, the system did not answer him, but continued to speak mechanically:
"Guardian of the Universe (Special Mission): Host, please protect your home universe."
"Task reward: unknown."
"Mission failed: The cost of failure may be difficult for the host to bear, please do your best to protect your home universe."
"Duration of the mission: long."
The mechanical voice quickly finished explaining the task and fell silent.
Lin Yang tried calling several times but got no response.
Obviously, the system should still be under upgrading, and this task should have been temporarily released by triggering the special task activation mechanism at the bottom layer of the system.
He now has a good understanding of the system.
The system probably has two operating mechanisms.
One of them is the intelligent mechanism that can communicate with him.
The other is a mechanism that has absolutely no intelligence and will only be triggered at certain special times.
For example, when the intelligent mechanism is dormant, if the task requirements are met, the unintelligent mechanism will be temporarily activated to arrange the release of the task.
And this unintelligent mechanism seems to run on the underlying logic of the system and only acts according to the rules.
There is no way to communicate with it at all.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that this task can be said to be the strangest one among all the tasks he has accepted.
The mission reward is actually unknown!
This was the first time he encountered this situation.
"My dear disciple, what are you thinking about? Do you want to say goodbye to your family again?"
The fat old man saw Lin Yang suddenly fall into deep thought, and after waiting for a while, he couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yang came back to his senses and said slowly: "No need, I have already informed my family, please take me to the competition now."
"Okay." The fat old man nodded, and then suddenly said, "My dear disciple, I have another idea. Do you want to listen to it?"
"Please speak!" Lin Yang said.
"It's like this. It just occurred to me that you can go to the neutral universe to participate in the competition first. After entering the universe-level arena and drawing your own competition area, you can explain that you are from this universe." said the fat old man.
"Neutral universe?" Lin Yang was a little surprised, "Is there still a neutral universe?"
"Yes, some universes are very powerful, and due to some special reasons, they become neutral universes."
The fat white old man explained.
"One advantage of the neutral universe is that even if you register for the competition in the neutral universe, you don't have to fight on behalf of the neutral universe. Before you get your final ranking, you have one chance to change your registration location. After you draw the competition area, you can change your registration universe to your hometown universe."
Lin Yang was a little confused when he heard this: "Senior, what is the purpose of doing this?"
"It's very simple. Since Universe No. 364 has some unknown deals with some high-level officials of the Universe Alliance, if you participate in the competition from this universe from the beginning, you will definitely be discovered by them. Then, when the divisions are drawn in the universe arena, they will use some shady operations to deliberately target you." said the fat old man.
"Secret operation? Is it possible?" Lin Yang was stunned. "This is a cosmic competition, is it possible to be manipulated behind the scenes?"
"Haha, silly disciple, you have to know that absolute fairness does not exist at any time or place. The universe-level competition is just a little higher in standard, and it is more difficult to manipulate behind the scenes."
The fat old man laughed and continued:
"But since Universe 364 is involved with the top leaders of the Universe Alliance, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, they will definitely eliminate any factors that may lead to unexpected failure."
"So, to be on the safe side, it's better for you to compete from a neutral universe. Otherwise, when the competition area is drawn, Universe 364 will most likely arrange all the elite players in the universe together with you."
"It's even possible that the top leaders of the Universe Alliance will arrange some seeded players to target you together with the players from Universe 364. If that happens, you might not even be able to make it into the top 100."
Lin Yang's eyes narrowed: "Can there be some behind-the-scenes manipulation when drawing the competition area?"
“Yes, most of the shady operations are in the random drawing stage, so as long as you draw the competition area before exposing your identity, it doesn’t matter what happens later. As long as you make it into the top 100, even if they target you later, they won’t be able to arrange so many people at the same time.” The fat old man nodded.
"Then please take me to the neutral universe to compete."
The fat old man made it so clear, so Lin Yang naturally wouldn't be so stubborn as to insist on participating in the competition from this universe.
Anyway, as long as you draw the competition area, you can change the initial participating universe and change the initial competition location to your hometown universe.
There is nothing bad about insurance nowadays.
"Okay, dear disciple, close your eyes first. I will take you to the neutral universe now."
The fat old man laughed and put his hand on Lin Yang's shoulder.
Lin Yang did as he was told.
After a while, the familiar feeling of dizziness set in. This time, the dizziness lasted a little longer, about half a minute, before I felt myself back on solid ground.
"arrive."
The next second, the voice of the fat old man sounded beside him.
Lin Yang opened his eyes and saw a spaceship hovering in the universe.
And now he was standing in front of the spaceship, suspended in the air in the universe with the fat old man.
This made Lin Yang a little confused. He thought that the old man would take him directly to the competition venue.
What's going on here that we are stuck in the universe now?
"My dear disciple, this spaceship is prepared for you by the master. Before the draw of the competition area, the master's identity should not be revealed, otherwise you will be targeted. You should sign up for the competition as a free man." The fat old man said slowly.
"Uh..." Lin Yang looked at the old man with a strange look in his eyes.
Will I be targeted if I reveal my identity?
What’s going on with this old man?
He was curious, but now was not the right time to ask.
The fat old man looked at him, coughed dryly, and said, "You go first. The spacecraft's intelligent system has already set the route, and will take you directly to the competition area."
"Okay." Lin Yang did as he was told.
"By the way, after signing up, you will verify on the spot that you have the strength of a primary super gene warrior, and inform the examiner that you are about to absorb the effects of the intermediate super gene potion."
Before Lin Yang started the spaceship, the fat old man suddenly gave another instruction:
"In this way, you don't have to participate in the preliminary rounds, and can directly participate in the top 30 competition in this universe. In this way, during the few months of the primary competition, you can safely absorb the power of the genetic medicine and fuse extraordinary substances."
"Ah? Is it possible? Directly advance without competition?" Lin Yang was a little surprised.
"Haha, that's right, but only those who have reached the level of super gene warriors can be qualified for this kind of recommendation."
The fat white man smiled and explained:
"Although there are many contestants in each universe, the number of contestants who can reach the level of super gene warriors is still relatively small."
"Moreover, those who can reach the level of super gene warriors must have the support of advanced civilizations. Ordinary people cannot get super gene drugs."
"That's why we'll send the super gene warrior contestants directly into the final stage of the top 30 qualification competition in this universe."
Lin Yang immediately understood and nodded: "Junior understands."
"Well, go ahead. After you sign up for the competition, you can only move around within the scope of the competition area and are not allowed to go out. If there is any emergency, just message your master directly!" The fat old man waved his hand.
"Goodbye, senior."
Lin Yang said goodbye to the fat old man, started the spaceship, entered automatic cruise mode, and flew towards the designated target planet.
Half a day later, a huge celestial body appeared before their eyes.
Looking at the planet that was at least hundreds of times larger than the Blue Star, Lin Yang was shocked!
"This... can a planet be so big?"
Lin Yang was completely shocked by the scene before him.
He had never seen such a huge planet!
The feeling is hard to describe in words.
It’s like you become an ant and there is a peak in front of you.
Shocked!
Extremely shocking!
There are countless spaceships coming in and out of the surface of the planet.
It looks a bit weird, like a moth to a flame.
When the huge spaceship approached the planet, it seemed to be swallowed up and turned into inconspicuous black dots.
hum!
The next moment, just as Lin Yang was in a daze and shocked, when the spacecraft approached the planet to a certain distance, he heard a mechanical synthesized sound coming from the direction of the planet.
"Competitors of the Cosmic Contest, please enter the planet from the 108th exclusive entry channel. If you enter the planet from other channels, it will be regarded as giving up the competition. Thank you for your cooperation."
Lin Yang came back to his senses and, under the guidance of the intelligent system, slowly approached the exclusive star access channel.
-
Today, the competition is about to start and enter the real climax. Lin Yang is about to show his talent in the universe and fight to protect the Blue Star and his hometown. Xiao Hu needs to think about it carefully.
What you owe today will be made up tomorrow!
Please vote!
