Chapter 362 Looking for the Lost Shrine

[Number Zero: "Don't be confused, keep moving forward, the answer is at the end of time"]

"The answer lies at the end of time?"

Cheng Shaofeng read this sentence several times, but still felt confused.

"Time keeps moving forward, how can there be an end?"

"Or is it the end of my time? That I will know the truth before I die?"

"No, that's too stupid! The end of this time must refer to a certain person or a certain item, or the final time when the natural disaster base is unlocked?"

He shook his head, it was hard to say any of these possibilities.

But the first two sentences are still very easy to understand.

"Don't be confused. Keep moving forward to tell me that the current path is right. Just keep going."

"Then...continue to upgrade!"

Cheng Shaofeng simply put the things he didn't understand behind his mind. If he didn't understand something, he would put it aside. After a certain amount of time, he would understand it.

"Huh? This sentence looks so familiar."

Cheng Shaofeng didn't think much. He and Zero studied all the new functions of the base again. After understanding them all, he started to chat casually with Zero.

"Number Zero, in the knowledge base you unlocked this time, is there anything else about the background of the world? I want to hear what happened in this world."

He has been recruiting players, instructing them to fight monsters, upgrade and make equipment, and he continues to expand his territory and earn crystals. But...how did the world suddenly become like this?

How did the alien race appear?

"Zombies, bugs, ethereal spirits, mechanical monsters. How come these virtual creatures that only exist in earth novels appear in this world?"

Cheng Shaofeng felt that this world was like a suture monster, which stitched together various fantasy, science fiction and ghost novels into one world. When he thought about it occasionally, he felt a strong sense of violation.

No wonder players still rarely think that this is the real world, it is too much like a game!

[Number Zero: "Master, I have some unsealed data here. The conditions for opening it will not be met until you reach level 4 professional and the base reaches level 5."]

"Oh? Say it quickly!"

[Number Zero: "The heroic spirit is immortal, and the shrine is eternal! Only by finding the lost shrine can we help mankind unlock the true power."]

"."

Cheng Shaofeng, who had been silent for a long time, asked with difficulty: "No more?"

[Number Zero: "No more."]

"Damn! Who the hell made this natural disaster base? When the labor and management see it later, give him two big tricks first. Why are you pretending to be a ghost? Can't you just speak plainly?"

"Gan!"

It’s easy to criticize, but most of this sentence is easy to understand.

"Lost shrine, unblocking power. Humans in this world cannot accept the blessings of the shrine like players. Is it because it is sealed? How was it sealed?"

"Could it be"

Cheng Shaofeng suddenly thought of the only unique shrine relic he had ever seen - the Colossus City shrine.

This shrine hidden in the basement of the city lord's mansion was already wrapped in various kinds of flesh and blood when they arrived and became a "contaminated shrine". At that time, the players spent a lot of effort to clean up the things around the shrine. .

Then the players responsible for cleaning up, including Cheng Shaofeng himself, received an additional [Piety Point].

"I received an extra reward for purifying the shrine contaminated by the zombie city lord. This reward was not given by the natural disaster base, but by the shrine. Is this the [lost shrine] that No. 0 said?"

Number Zero did not answer, and it did not know the meaning of this sentence. It was just a paragraph unblocked in its own database.

"Does the immortality of heroic spirits and the eternal presence of shrines refer to the characteristics of shrines that cannot be destroyed? Do heroic spirits refer to high-level humans? Or high-end combat power? People in the fifth-level realm? Or the so-called gods?"

"It seems that I have to find time to talk to Hades."

Since Cheng Shaofeng escaped from the underworld space, he has never taken the initiative to find Hades again, because even if Hades was bound, the power that transcended space still made him very uneasy, which made Cheng Shaofeng instinctively I don't want to have anything to do with him.

But at this time, the guidance from the base gave him a lot of things to ask Hades.

"Then the next goal of the base is to find the shrines! Find all the shrines! This is also the goal of many players. Let's strengthen ourselves together!"

The bonus of the constellation will bring extremely strong power to the players. In the current situation where the upgrade speed is rapidly slowing down, the power blessing of the constellation is faster than gaining experience.

Most high-level players are stuck at level 49. Upgrading to level 50 requires a huge amount of experience, which is more than the experience from levels 40 to 49 combined!

Players will have to grind hard for a while before level 50 players will appear.

It's better to find a shrine to increase combat power quickly.

As far as Cheng Shaofeng knew, the people from the special agent team were particularly interested in shrines. After leveling up to level 40 in the southern battlefield, they dispersed to various regions to look for shrines.

It seems that several shrines have been found so far, but the people from the special agent team obviously did not report to him or communicate with other players. They seemed to be planning to hide them privately. They were wandering outside and did not enter the base's signal coverage, so they could not synchronize. their map.

Cheng Shaofeng knew the reason. The officials were afraid that the power of the shrine would affect reality and make them unable to handle it.

"Special Agent Team, Special Agent Team, you official people want to cover the shrine. This is contrary to my current philosophy. It should be beaten."

From his perspective, the more shrines players obtain, the more powerful they are, and the more things they can do to help him, whether it is protecting the base or earning crystals.

Thinking of this, he directly sent a message to Wei Long, the captain of the special agent team in the northern battlefield.

"Soldier, I need you to help me mark on the map where your team found all the shrine locations. This is related to the future of the natural disaster base. Any hiding behavior will be regarded as a betrayal of the natural disaster base!"

After editing, Cheng Shaofeng thought for a while but did not send it out.

"Except for the special agent team, have other players found the location of the shrine and not reported it?"

It can't be just for the special agents, it's the same for other players.

Announce!

【World Announcement! 】

[If all teams detect the shrine ruins, they must report to the base as soon as possible! The first soldier to report the location of the shrine will be rewarded with an epic piece of equipment! Soldiers who fail to report violations will be severely punished! The highest is given permanent hibernation! Please tell each other among the teams! 】

The announcement was sent three times in a row, and players who were not within the signal range of the base would also receive it as soon as they entered the base.

If there are rewards and punishments, there is no need to worry about them not reporting.

And you have to rush to report, otherwise you will not be able to get the reward if other players beat you to it.

[Number Zero: "Your decision-making wisdom is beyond my reach."]

"."

The corners of Cheng Shaofeng's mouth, which just showed a hint of pride, twitched a few times.

"Zero, if you don't act awkward, you're pretty normal."

[Number Zero: "Number Zero never lies, every word comes from the sincerity."]

"Hmm~Okay!"

Cheng Shaofeng said it was very useful.

At this time, the base signal suddenly dinged.

[Ding~ New signal source detected! 】

[Already linked to multiple communication base stations in the central city branch! 】

【The map is being updated.】

【Player mark is being updated.】

【The shrine is being updated.】

【.】

"The optical cable from Central City was taken over. It was pretty fast."

The connection here was connected by borrowing a line from a surrounding city, so the amount of work was not large, and it only took 5 days to connect. For example, it would take a week for the southern battlefield to be connected.

At this time, players from the three major areas of Central City, Red City, and Northern Battlefield Base met.

[Magic Conch: "Huh? Brothers from Central City have also joined the World Channel? Hello everyone~"]

[Only the succubus can live up to his reputation: "What a duck~(^.^)Y Ya!!"]

[Yu Mu: "Well, there are more people to chat with. Cultivation is really boring."]

[Wu Ke: " x-on:Wei Long, I bought some of the materials you mentioned last time. Should I send someone to deliver them to you or should you come and get them?"]

[Wei Long: "Don't worry, we will go to Central City to do some business in a few days."]

[Xufeng: " x-on:Wu Ke, brother, you manage a store in Central West City, right? Can you help me find the props on how to clear the profession? This [Barbarian] profession is a bit useless, and there is no improvement, I think I need to change my job to [Inquisitor]. Inquisitors are so popular in the soldier base now!"]

[Wu Ke: "Not yet. I will help you keep an eye on it."]

[Xufeng: "Thank you! Let's have a drink offline when we have time."]

[Wu Ke: "Discipline does not allow it."]

(Player ‘Wu Ke’ withdrew a message.)

[Wu Ke: "I don't like drinking."]

[Master of the Sword Qi Sect: "Good brothers of Central City! I heard that your place is very fun. Do you have any exciting projects? I'm so sick of this zombie. Every day, my face is swollen with pus, and it's so hacked. I feel so sick, can you relax?"]

[God rewards those who work hard: "Thank you for the invitation! We are in the bar, with succubus servants, body art performances, and we give you the nickname: Little Prince of the Silver Party in Central City. I will arrange it when you come!"]

[Master of Sword Qi Sect: "Really, boss!?"]

(The player ‘Tiandao rewards Qin’ has been banned by the lord for 24 hours.)

[Master of the Sword Qi Sect: "."]

[Xiao Yu'er: "Hahaha! Lord, you should treat these men with worms on their heads, huh!"]

[You are forcing me: "666! Good ban! But I suddenly remembered that I took on a mission before. I have to go to Central City to deliver some goods. Do you want to do the mission together?"]

[Please ask the master to punish Fugui: "Are you doing a mission? I don't even want to expose you! Really, you can lie to yourself and don't lie to your brothers, but there are two shrines in Central City that I want to pay attention to, and we can go together." ”]

[Awesome slider: "Ah, yes, yes! I'll go to the shrine too! By the way, I'll buy some materials for the weapon shop."]

[Rolling washing machine: "No, all the people in your weapon shop have names like this?"]

[Awesome slider: "Hehe~"]

Next, the players in Central City and the players in the base started chatting, and the news on the World Channel scrolled like crazy.

Cheng Shaofeng glanced at it casually for a few times and stopped paying attention.

If the players get excited, they will get better than the author of Starting Point!

Next, Cheng Shaofeng thought about it and released some new functions for players to use.

【Portable multifunctional energy tower】.

If players can do it according to the normal method, it will have the full version function. However, it is estimated that players will not be able to find materials like [vibranium]. There is a high probability that biological materials will be used instead of various rare metals, but the functions will not be the same. Well, let’s leave it to the players to explore on their own.

If used properly, it is equivalent to bringing a mobile defense tower to fights, which can greatly increase the team's combat power.

In addition, Cheng Shaofeng has also opened up the production of [Advanced Comprehensive Smart Watch], [Alternate Accounting Set Plug-in], and [Multi-skill Burning Illustrated Book].

At the same time, a task of collecting materials is released to try to make new [relics].

For these things, Cheng Shaofeng will charge an additional 20% of the materials as a handling fee, leaving himself with the production materials to store.

After making the announcement, Cheng Shaofeng also started working with Zero to build the most important facility of the base - [Multi-Architectural Energy Protection Shield].

This is a troublesome project.

"If you can build this, you don't have to be afraid of the fifth-level protrusion."

“These new features, plus the task of finding shrines, will keep players busy for a while.”

Building a [Multi-Architectural Energy Shield] requires a lot of materials and crystals. Even if Cheng Shaofeng just invested the 11 million crystals he just earned from the Soldier Heritage and Shaman Heritage, it might not be enough.

This is a large protective shield for those in the fifth level domain!

Big money eaters!

But Cheng Shaofeng said hard: "We must do it! Without this, the base and I will always live under the fear of those in the fifth-level field. No matter how many crystals we have, they are not our own, and we will never be my neighbor who collects food and guns." Idiot!"

Cheng Shaofeng gritted his teeth and gave all the money to Zero to squander!

At the same time, material orders were continuously placed to the caravans in Central City, and large quantities of rare materials were transported.

Time passed quickly as the players searched for the shrine and Cheng Shaofeng built the base's protective shield.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

Buzz!

A layer of azure light curtain appeared over the Red City Base, undulating like flowing water from the administrative center, slowly covering the entire city.

Zero controlled the Diaoyutong robot to float outside the city, with large gun barrels exposed on its body, filled with Cheng Shaofeng's enchanted ammunition.

[No. 0: "Level 4 attack and defense test!"]

Boom boom boom boom!

Zero turned into a war machine, with lots of fire coming out of his body!

The vast elemental energy poured onto the flowing water-like light curtain above the Red City, and the attack intensity was far greater than that of missiles cleaning the ground!

The land-washing attack that eliminated the zombie city lord back then was not as good as it is today!

This is the enchanted ammunition made by the fourth-level professional Cheng Shaofeng himself. It is extremely powerful!

With an attack of this intensity, even if a mid-level evil spirit were placed here, if it ran slower, it would be blown into powder in an instant!

This is an attack that exceeds the upper limit of the fishing robot!

Cheng Shaofeng, who was sitting in the administrative center, looked expectantly at the protective shield above.

Puff puff puff~~

The bullet entered the protective shield like a stone sinking into the sea, only splashing a few waves before being swallowed up.

After a full minute of ammunition pouring, the entire protective shield remained as calm as ever, with no trace of damage.

The flowing blue light curtain firmly protects the Red City base.

“Niubi!!!”

An attack of this level can be easily resisted, so it is really possible to block the attack of a fifth-level domainer.

Cheng Shaofeng felt truly at ease now.

[Number Zero: "Now it is a primary version of the protective shield, with only one layer. On this basis, we can also superimpose multiple structures to increase the buffer space and build an energy absorption circulation system."]

"Get it right! Keep getting it right! I just received an order from Oath Keeping Heritage. Once the money is in place, keep adding more!"

This week, a lot of things happened at the base.

The good news is that more orders mean more money.

The bad news is that players have discovered a big problem while searching for the lost shrine.
