May you be happy and prosperous

JAY fell silent, but the people around were still talking about it.

Many Eudemons staff feel that they should not come to Gamma A this trip, and some teams even have the idea of ​​returning. The WL team came to carry out the task——

You know, people have always tacitly agreed that the only goal of these people is to hunt and kill awakened Eudemons.

"——Although it has been confirmed that there are strange wild phantom beasts attacking human beings on this small affiliated planet of the Middle Ancient Continent, it is impossible to get in touch with awakened phantom beasts anyway?"

"--Yeah yeah."

"—or someone in the know leaked the news. Anyway, since the 'King' group is here, there must be something they are interested in here."

"—Which unlucky bastard is so talkative?"

"—Oh my God, I'm not feeling well, I don't want to wake up tomorrow morning and see the bloody fur of my phantom beast hanging on the window!!"

……

Lu Twelve looked around silently, and then found that the expressions on the faces of other Phantom Beast staff around him were not very good-looking, so he paused and asked JAY: "The 'King' they said is..."

JAY seemed to have seen the instant doubt on the face of the black-haired young man, so he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "That uncle's name is 'King' and his Chinese name should be 'Asura'; 'Clown'; I don't know the name of the one in the wheelchair, but everyone calls him 'Doctor'; the beautiful girl with golden hair is 'Linghua', and the little girl is 'Yinhua', the two women are sisters look."

"Oh." Lu Twelve nodded slowly, as if he didn't care much, because anyway, he couldn't remember so many names when I told him all at once.

JAY looked at the dull faces of his teammates, and sighed: "Now this group of people is no different from Phantom Beast Killers in the eyes of Phantom Beast professionals—although I personally think that this group of people is different from ordinary Phantom Beast Killers. Phantom beasts are the ones who don’t like them, ahaha. And they can kill awakened phantom beasts, so how damn strong must they be? I really shouldn’t even think about it—I wonder if they are human after all.”

Lu Twelve subconsciously turned his head to look at Fa Cai. The latter frowned slightly and shook his head, denying the possibility that these people might be other creatures. With his gaze back, Lu Twelve thought for a while and asked, "Kill Awakening Eudemons, this kind of thing... feels unbelievable, won't they cause dissatisfaction among other awakened Eudemons?"

JAY nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, I heard that some awakened phantom beasts are discussing in private to counter-hunt the 'Warriors' - because occasionally we will also get news of the death of the 'Warriors', there is It is rumored that the awakened Eudemons are actually taking revenge... I don't know if it is true, but I think the possibility is not high. After all, after all, there are very few free awakened Eudemons like Master Shabak, basically there are awakened Eudemons The staff is in control, and it is still difficult to leave the sphere of influence of the staff to do something alone, not to mention, the military staff is not just any kitten that can die with two or three cats."

Lu Twelve: "Anti-hunting? It's hard, isn't it already killing awakened phantom beasts? With such a precedent, other awakened phantom beasts won't take action rashly."

JAY showed an uncertain expression, curled his lips and said: "Although the reputation of 'killing awakened phantom beasts' is very loud, they obviously did it with a purpose-because in the four-dimensional ranking of the currently known awakened phantom beasts Among them, Mei and Yukihime have the lowest four-dimensional total value... Well, of course, they are only the lowest among the awakened phantom beasts. In fact, it is still too high for ordinary phantom beasts... But if they win these two awakened phantom beasts If it is very hard to win, the chances of beating the protégés are very small."

"Ah," Lu Twelve sighed, "Are you looking for soft persimmons on a special trip? Then it's no wonder the other awakened Eudemons are unhappy."

JAY rubbed the tip of his nose: "It's really going to kill me. To be honest, I think the relationship between the Eudemons and the staff has become very subtle after awakening, as if they are no longer a simple relationship between the Eudemons and their masters. ...I can’t put it into words, but it’s like one day your cat suddenly turned into a human and talked to you about a concept, and your first reaction was not “Oh, so happy” but “What the hell is this?” -"

Lu Shishi looked at the sky: "To be honest, I have already experienced this feeling when I first saw Brother Cai."

Get rich: "..."

The blond man next to him, who had been looking around distractedly, didn't seem to be listening to them, but immediately raised his head with a lot of reflection, and cast a dissatisfied look at the black-haired young man.

Ignoring the dissatisfied and reproachful eyes of the God of Fortune, JAY nodded solemnly and continued to educate: "The two creatures change the way of getting along in the same form without warning or buffer, as if two dimensions were forcibly drawn into Fused together, there is only a thin layer of membrane in the middle... That membrane may be punctured with a 'snap' one day, and no one knows what will happen after that."

"..."

"And the 'WL' group is likely to be the spike that punctures that membrane."

"JAY, that's a bit of a lewd statement."

"Really? Actually, I think so too."

"..."

"..."

The two humans stared at each other for a moment, and then they couldn't bear to look directly at each other, and both averted their eyes.

At this time, Sabak and Byron came back with three sets of basic equipment. Considering Sabak's identity, Lu Twelve and JAY both closed their mouths and temporarily ended the discussion about the WL group and the military personnel. topic.

Lu Twelve first expressed his condolences to Sabak and the others for their hard work waiting in line, and then took the things in their hands to look through - every set of equipment is standard configuration - brand new and correct, everything is stuffed in an independent In the small toolbox, open the toolbox, and you can see that there are safety helmets, light energy matching miner's lamps, walkie-talkies, mine map records, download all-in-one devices, ropes, hooks, and a folding shovel.

Ten gold coins, at any rate, gave a lot of things. Originally, Lu Twelve was even ready to "ask Brother Cai to dismantle the material center as soon as he saw the total number of items below three"... There were enough in the toolbox All kinds of items made him stop, and the material center escaped. Then the black-haired young man studied the folding shovel with interest for a while. It was very strong, but it was not heavy. Can be used as a weapon...

Of course, I hope that the so-called "critical moment" will never come, amen.

Here, when the black-haired young man was excitedly picking at the toolbox like a child who just received his new toy, after Sabac put down the equipment, he felt that something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere almost immediately.

No matter the expression on his lord's face at this moment.

It still looks like JAY's poor acting skills and guilty conscience.

Frowning sensitively, the tall awakened Eudemons turned to JAY and asked, "Did something happen just now?"

JAY looked at his ready-to-move look, and thought of this guy's rather distasteful temper towards human beings, let him know about the military personnel, why not make a big fuss with those military personnel on the spot?Thinking of this, JAY shivered, and simply whistled and turned his head away: "What happened? It's nothing."

"Little Chongzi, did I remind you that if you dare to show off your poor acting skills to me, you will pay a painful price that you don't want to know."

Sabak stood up, walked to JAY's side and said such a sentence expressionlessly. At this moment, the latter seemed to be completely threatened. He raised his head and looked at Sabak with his mouth wide open. With a glance, he suddenly saw Lu Twelve standing behind Shabak, holding a shovel in his hand, zipping his mouth with a livid face——

It was hard to get off the tiger, and JAY suddenly had the urge to cry loudly.

He threw down the sentence "Suddenly thirsty, I went to buy something to drink" and flew away quickly, leaving behind Lu Twelve who was staring at Sabak with black lines all over his face, but couldn't say a word.

Lu Twelve: "...what's wrong?"

Sabak: "Did something happen just now? The expressions of the people around—including those Phantom Beast staff members—are not quite right."

Lu Twelve: "Uh, hehe."

I really want to knock him out with the shovel in my hand, so that I don't have to face Shabak awkwardly and rack my brains to think about the embarrassing questions he raised.

It's a pity you can't beat him.

Lu Twelve silently turned his head to Fa Cai, who was silent beside him, asking for help. The blond man raised his eyebrows, and accepted the poop shoveler's temporary off-site help without much resistance, asking him to get his ID card, and then grabbed Sabak Go to the side to "talk about life".

Lu Twelve and Byron, who were left behind with a sigh of relief, squatted on the side of the road and looked up at the taskbar silently.

"Hey, shortlegs—"

"To shut up."

"..."

Byron, who was refused to chat, was bored, grabbed his ID card and scanned the A-level tasks one by one with great interest. Not surprisingly, he found that there were very few A-level tasks worth doing—because it was officially released There are too many Phantom Beast craftsmen who came to Gamma A this time, and everyone is an experienced Phantom Beast craftsman, so if any task worthy of receiving is refreshed, it will It's the rhythm of head-scratching.

Byron: "These missions to find mineral veins should be quite interesting."

"Normally you can't find it." Lu Twelve said contemptuously, "Do you think you have a gold mine search device with you?"

Byron: "I just need to find a reason to be in the vein."

Lu Twelve was taken aback: "Why?"

Byron pouted: "Look for someone."

Lu Twelve was taken aback again: "Are you looking for someone too?"

Byron: "Well, looking for my former subordinates, who else is looking for someone?"

"Master Shabak, but he's not sure if he really wants to find someone." Lu Twelve thought for a while and asked again, "Is your former subordinate also buried in the first batch of Phantom Beast workers?"

Byron turned his head, looked at the black-haired young man next to him with strange eyes, nodded slowly after a long silence, and said with a rare look of seriousness: "It should be counted."

"But don't be impulsive in everything. I heard that the authorities have organized people to start a search and rescue. You can't be in a hurry here. If you search around like a headless chicken, can you be more professional than a professional... …Speaking of which, we won’t miss the task today, right?”

Lu Twelve yawned for a long time. He started to feel sleep deprivation after waking up too early today. At this time, he was waiting for the task bar to refresh the task while chatting with Byron. Turning his head to watch Brother Cai and Sabak "talk about life" uneasily - this process was obviously not smooth, because for a while, Sabak seemed to go straight to that very powerful uncle Ashura to fight went.

It was still Fa Cai who frowned and stretched out his hand to hold him, so he sat down heavily on the grass with a murderous face on his face.

During the conversation between the two, Sabak's expression became more and more ugly. Lu Twelve couldn't help leaning over to see what they were discussing, but at this time, he saw the ID card in Fa Cai's hand, showing It is the ranking of the [-] known awakened Phantom Beasts in the world announced by the Phantom Beast Staff Association. Of course, there is no Sabak on it. Apart from the known Phantom Beasts of disciples and Chaoyun, there are some other Phantom Beasts Lu Twelve stretched his head to look, and saw the names of "Mei" and "Xing Ji" at the end of the list.

"..."

It seems that Brother Cai told Sabak about those people's deeds of "picking soft persimmons".

You are really good at stirring up flames, Brother Cai.

But now that things have reached this point, it's impossible for Sabak to be more unhappy than now... Just satisfy your curiosity once and for all.Thinking of this, Lu Twelve paused next to Fa Cai, and then stretched out his hand to poke the strong arm of the awakened Eudemons: "Master Shabak?"

Sabak raised his head and gave him a gloomy look: "What's the matter?"

"Actually, I really want to know why those people would specifically take weapons from awakened phantom beasts—are those weapons part of their bodies? For example, for example, that knife——"

"God-killing knife?"

"Oh yes, that's the one. Is this knife...Xinghime's leg?"

"..." Shabak raised his head and looked at the black-haired young man with an idiot expression on his face for a while. After a while, he took off the two big knives wrapped in cloth on his back and put them on the ground. In front of Lu Twelve, "Look."

Lu Twelve: "Huh?"

Sabak: "The knife is here, am I missing a leg?"

Lu Twelve: "..."

After being silent for a while, Fa Cai stretched out his hand, shook his head helplessly, and touched the head of the black-haired young man whose face was disheveled in the wind because of being ridiculed for his IQ.

"'Weapon' is just something that awakened Eudemons must have. Every awakened Eudemons will have a weapon that belongs to them and is easy to use. These weapons are tailor-made by craftsmen according to their abilities... ...Forget it, you don’t need to know so much, in short, weapons are not part of the body, they just have them, and when they encounter better weapons, they may replace them.” Sabak continued to say with a paralyzed face, “Of course, The premise is that you humans are more than capable of providing them with 'better weapons'."

Lu Twelve had a blank face: "...how about the atomic bomb?"

Sabak: "..."

Lu Twelve: "Just kidding."

Sabak: "Not funny."

Lu Twelve: "..."

Lu Twelve was silent for a while, looking at the expression on Shabak's face, he suddenly felt that this guy didn't seem to be purely angry at the incident of "the same kind was killed and seized weapons". Jo seems to be a little... worried?

What's going on?Lu Twelve was taken aback, Sabak was worried... who is it?

In short, this guy can't possibly be worried about humans, maybe he is worried about the same kind who are about to be murdered by the WL group or something?I can't tell that this guy is quite caring, but what's the matter with this guy looking like he's ready to take advantage of the dark night and wind to eradicate his opponent tonight?I just want to be a quiet Phantom Beast worker! !

All kinds of messy thoughts in Lu Twelve's mind drifted away like a pop-up screen in the video. After a while, he was so excited by his own gods that he showed a broken expression, and pulled Sabak, just He wanted to say something, but just when he had time to speak out the persuasive words, he suddenly heard Byron behind him suddenly let out a "wow" exclamation!

At the same time, JAY, who didn't know when he would come back, also yelled "I got it, I got it" and other words, and this exclamation attracted the attention of Fa Cai and Sabak who were talking. , Lu Twelve hurriedly turned his head to see what the two restless monkeys were yelling, and after a closer look, he found that the two were holding an ID card and dancing happily.

Seeing Lu Twelve turned his head, JAY grinned happily at him with big white teeth: "I got the cleaning task, luckily Byron is quick enough—"

The Phantom Beast staff who were "not fast enough" all cast resentful glances at the ID card waving in JAY's hand.

"Stop yelling," Lu Twelve said with a headache, "Do you still want to get out of the material center alive?"

While talking, the black-haired young man snatched the waving ID card from JAY's hand. After several missions, he was quite familiar with the interface of the ID card's special function interface for Phantom Beasts, and switched screens with ease. , found the [Gamma Planet A] mission option in the team mission list, poked it in, it was the mission they originally received in the Phantom Beast Staff Guild, at this time, the mission progress has become [3/0] It shows that this change appeared after their starship entered Gamma A star, which means that they only need to complete three missions on this planet to receive the revenge of this summary mission as an additional Fourth reward.

Under this task, there is the option of the task that Lu Twelve and the others just received [Level A: No.12 Main Road of Mine Lode in F Area (Cleaning)].

When walking towards the confirmation task receiving window, Lu Twelve took the time to look at the description of the entire task——

[Recently, an unknown insect-shaped phantom beast (temporary name: Gamma Nematode) has been found in the No. 12 main road of the mine vein in the Gamma A Star F area. Now the Gamma A Star Mine Vein Development Department sends an invitation: Please have the ability to phantom! The orc team went to clean up this batch of gamma nematodes, and sprayed alkaline solution to neutralize the acidic solution in the cave.Note: Gamma nematodes can spray corrosive venom. According to the results of the sample research brought back by the staff who collected insect samples last time, the composition of this corrosive venom is close to highly concentrated sulfuric acid. Go to the supply center to get enough alkaline solution for emergencies.

Task reward gold coins: 100 pieces

Task reward social contribution value: 300

Mission reward Eudemons staff guild contribution value: 150

Mission Completion Progress: Gamma Nematode 150/0

Task completion progress: mine road repair 150M/0M

Recommended types of Eudemons: land combat/flying. Due to the special terrain, aquatic Eudemons are not recommended] "Concentrated sulfuric acid? This is a bit powerful, it might disfigure your face."

Lu Twelve exited the interface, and he couldn't help sighing that it was indeed the A-level task content provided to the blue phantom beast staff. Compared with the task of washing phantom beasts with cages and scrubbing, it was simply not a level...

At this time, JAY, who had poked his head over to see the mission before he was with him, frowned: "Insect-like phantom beasts? This is rare. I haven't heard of it before. How do you feel that there is something wrong on this planet?" The ghosts are all weird, could it be that something is producing new species in the depths of the mine?"

Lu Twelve: "Brake, brake, watch out for the crow's mouth, teammate."

Lu Twelve returned the ID card to JAY, and when JAY took the ID card and began to search for information about Gamma nematode on the relevant mission forums, he opened the entire Gamma A star mission map that he had taken from the material center before. After taking a look, he looked at the map from the beginning to the end. In the end, Lu Twelve found that Area F was in a relatively remote area, far away from the center of the entire vein.

It's just that Area F happens to cover one of the three entrances leading to the center of the vein.

The entrance to Area F is at the intersection in the east. Lu Twelve looked at the sign on the map and found that this entrance was opened only recently. It is said that it is the shortest road to the center of the vein—unfortunately, just now Halfway through the start of digging, a large number of gamma nematodes appeared, which affected the continuation of the digging work.

"Well," Lu Twelve said while looking at the map, "This road is the main road, comrades who are looking for someone can cheer."

"I can also cheer here," JAY waved the ID card in his hand, "Look at this gamma nematode—a completely metalized worm, each hand is the size of a palm, and it's possible to stomp to death with your feet Sex is basically zero.”

Lu Twelve: "Where is the point of cheer?"

JAY thought for a while: "Is it weird enough?"

Lu Twelve: "..."

Lu Twelve and his team went to the material center to receive the alkaline solution as reminded in the task. They originally thought that the material center would probably distribute a bucket of alkaline solution to each of them, but unexpectedly, the staff confirmed that they were After the mission, they were led directly to the back warehouse, and stopped in front of a large vehicle that looked like a firefighter's fire truck in terms of external structure.

Everyone in the team was silent.

Lu Twelve: "...What is this?"

"Alkaline solution loading vehicle." The staff member took the duty sheet, made a registration on it, entered fingerprints and signatures, and said without looking up, "After the gamma nematode was discovered, it was urgently dispatched from the earth. It is considered an expensive item. , be careful when you drive—”

"I don't know how to drive... No, that's not the point," Lu Twelve turned to look at Byron and JAY, "What kind of weird mission did you take?"

JAY: "Don't worry, you don't know how to drive and blame us for not taking the mission well? It's good if you can receive the mission. Didn't you see the jealous eyes that people cast on us at that time?"

JAY curled his lips to express his dissatisfaction with Lu Twelve, but Byron looked at Lu Twelve with a smile and asked, "Why can't you drive? Is it because you have short legs and can't step on the accelerator?"

Lu Twelve: "..."

Lu Twelve's face was livid, and JAY turned his head and looked at Byron with surprise.

At this moment, the staff members are obviously too lazy to continue to tangle with these funny people. After handing over the car to them, they went to work on other things, leaving a team of people who were helpless in the face of the giant mission props... Everyone moved quite Looking up for a while in unison, Fa Cai jumped into the car and sat in the driver's seat to grope for a while. Just as Lu Twelve looked up hopefully at his various gropings and waited for a miracle to happen, Shabak quietly said next to him Ended the sentence: "If you don't want this shelf of 'valuables' to be turned into a pile of scrap iron, then don't hand it over to the lord, just give up."

Lu Twelve turned his head and gave Sabak a blank expression.

And as expected, one minute later, Fa Cai quickly jumped out of the driver's seat, and when he met Lu Twelve's questioning gaze, he shook his head calmly.

Sabak let out a hearty and hearty laugh beside him, as if he was sighing: I'll just say it.

I have no idea what the hell he's doing.

Anyway, Lu Twelve just felt his heart was full.

Lu Twelve can't drive, mainly because he has no money to buy a car and no time to learn a driver's license... He thought for a while, then turned to a teammate present who obviously had money and time: "Why don't you know how to drive? Do you have short legs too?"

"There is a maglev light rail. It is convenient to go anywhere. If you can't do it, you can call a taxi. Why do you drive by yourself!" After answering a lot, JAY seemed to be wrong, so he added, "It's just too lazy to drive, you think Are you as sad as you with short legs and can't step on the accelerator!"

Lu Twelve pretended not to hear his ridicule, and turned his head to Sabak, who shrugged: "If you can't play with such childish things as humans, you can ask Byron."

Lu Twelve: "..."

You still don't know how to play childish things, why should you dislike them.

Silently complaining in his heart, Lu Twelve turned his head to Byron again. The silver-haired young man was stunned for a long time, and he choked out a sentence: "I can fly a battleship."

Lu Twelve almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears: "...what?"

"Oh, speaking of this, I suddenly remembered a joke," Shabak said with a serious face, "there was once a second prince who rolled around in a stern manner and got a battleship driver's license through the back door with his royal brother, and then as long as In the future, when a team of warships sets off to a certain planet, there will always be a battleship in the neat team jumping up and down like a grasshopper—"

Lu Twelve made up the picture in his head, then laughed out innocently, and asked quite flatteringly, "...and then?"

Sabak continued with a blank expression: "Then the second prince's driver's license was confiscated, and he has been living a life of driving without a license for the next few days."

Lu Twelve: "Hahahahahahahaha!"

Amidst the laughter of the black-haired young man, Byron climbed onto the big crane with a black face like the bottom of a pot. In his eyes, he backed up a few meters and moved forward a few meters. He was quite steady, and a silver-haired head poked out from the driver's seat. He said with a stinky face, "I have been driving professionally without a license for 300 years. Do you have the guts to go to Zone F by yourself?"
