Chapter 404 Rules

"That's right!"

Many people are also gradually regaining their senses.

Time passed by little by little, and seven hours was neither long nor short, and it only took a nap.

Of course, few people can sleep well.

As time drew near, the Propeller was getting closer to the city of Star Rings, and could clearly see the appearance of the entire mechanical city. In fact, it is a mechanical city, more like a mechanical planet.

Nick is currently using all the words of praise he can think of, crazily praising the magnificence of the Star Ring City.

"My God, look, this scale, this sense of technology, is simply uncanny workmanship"

At this moment, suddenly the spacecraft radar system issued a warning.

"Warning, an unknown spaceship was detected."

"Master Zhang Wei, these spaceships seem to be flying to the Star Ring City."

The operator reported to Zhang Weihui nervously.

Zhang Wei turned his head and reported to Long Ming and the others: "It's a spaceship from another civilization."

"Don't worry about them, drive normally, and without strength, any small action is unwise."

Long Ming gave the order very rationally.

"Understood."

Zhang Wei nodded in response.

At this time, a special prompt popped up on the illusory screen.

"Please follow the guidelines and go to the interstellar port T01."

In the next second, illusory light and shadow gathered in front of the propeller, forming a guiding track.

"Slow down, follow the guidance, everyone is ready to land."

Zhang Wei immediately issued an order

Nick excitedly reported to everyone: "Brothers and sisters, we are about to arrive in the City of Star Rings, and it is time to witness the miracle of history."

At this time, a non-commissioned officer walked beside Nick and whispered a few words in his ear.

Nick nodded quickly to express his understanding, and then Nick solemnly said to the many watching people: "Dear people, because I don't know what it's like to arrive at the Star Ring City, so the next live broadcast will not be explained. Only image transmission is carried out, and the smoothness of the image is not guaranteed, but we try our best to ensure the smooth progress of the live broadcast.”

Su Mo in front of the TV watched more and more absorbedly, his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and he was more or less excited.

At this time, the viewing rate of the live broadcast has reached 99%.

In the live video, an operator reported loudly: "In 1 minute, it will enter the expected orbit."

"Present the city of the star ring and the flight trajectory, as well as the detection of the rotation rate and parameters of the city of the star ring, all displayed."

Zhang Wei gave the order in a deep voice, operating a ship is not that easy.

"yes!"

Immediately, rows of complicated parameters emerged.

Although there are guidelines, the city around the stars is not static, its top-shaped body is constantly rotating, forming gravity.

This Thruster does not have an artificial intelligence system, and all operations need to be done manually. If it makes a mistake, the ship may drive face-to-face with the ground and hit the interstellar port.

Even now, the most elite doctors in the Federation are in charge of the operation.

They are also very nervous at this time, after all, they don't have much experience.

"The output of the power system is adjusted, and then decreased by one percentage point, and the positive parameters of the ship's bow are corrected by 0.03."

Zhang Wei looked at the floating values ​​and kept giving orders.

"It is being adjusted."

Through the optical imaging system, everyone can clearly see that the city around the stars is getting closer and bigger.

The Thruster grew smaller and smaller, like a grain of sand.

"Distance: 172 kilometers!"

"Entering StarCraft 1 Port!"

"Data correction in progress."

"Switch Auxiliary Power Unit 3 off."

"Reduce power output, further decelerate."

"Activate the rest assist system, activate the anti-gravity system, and prepare for landing."

Seen from the sky, the Propeller is constantly decelerating, and the anti-gravity device is turned on, and it lands on the interstellar port little by little.

There are countless battleships staying in the entire interstellar port, but even so, there are still a lot of vacant positions.

After a while, with the vibration of the Propeller, it finally landed smoothly at the designated position.

"Successfully landed."

Zhang Wei reported with a sigh of relief.

"well done."

Long Ming took the lead in applauding.

slap~~

Zhang Wei and the others also showed a smile.

After a while, the boarding exit of the Propulsion was opened, and Long Ming and others walked down, looking at the endless interstellar port with no end in sight, and the countless ships staying here.

Long Ming and the others were completely shocked. At this moment, they were like frogs in a well, seeing the magnificent sea for the first time.

At this time, a sweet voice sounded.

"Welcome to the City of Star Rings."

Long Ming and the others slowed down, and at some point, Ge Li had already appeared in front of them.

"Hello, Miss Golly."

Long Ming greeted politely, it's always right to be polite, of course Long Ming kept looking at Ge Li, but it's a pity that he couldn't tell whether Ge Li was a human or a robot.

"President Longming, you don't have to be so polite. By the way, I'd like to ask you to wait for a while. The others will arrive soon. We'll go together when the time comes."

Golly said with a smile.

"good."

Long Ming just wanted to see what people from other civilizations looked like.

At this moment, a group of figures came over from a distance. Looking carefully, they were not much different from people, except that their skin was fair and their ears were pointed. They were all dressed in silver high-necked and corseted clothes, and their eyes were extremely proud. The leading man holds a scepter in his hand and a crown on his head, which can be seen to be imperial.

"I am Memikas, the lord of Yanas, and I am here upon invitation."

The leader of the country said.

Golly smiled and said, "Master Yanas, please wait a moment."

Immediately afterwards, two groups of people walked over, both of which were humanoid civilizations, but with different styles of clothes.

The group on the left has scaly skin, gill-like organs on either side of the lower jaw, and frog-like claws on their hands.

The team on the right is thin and short, with large pupils, dark and rough skin, and gray all over.

The two teams introduced themselves respectively. The people with gills are from Heike Free State, a civilization that lives on the seabed.

The other team claimed to be from the Falaise tribe, whose civilization was born underground.

Long Ming frowned. He looked at the participating civilizations, his expression constantly changing.

At this moment, towering figures appeared one after another, a big man with a burly body, a face full of flesh, and a whole body embedded in a metal outer armor, with violent eyes, full of oppression, came over, each of them was taller than everyone else. cut.

It takes the lead, and its eyes are like wild animals, which is daunting.

Nick and the others couldn't close their mouths when they saw that there was such a tall person.

"What are you looking at, little man!"

A big man passing by said to Nick, his eyes were full of disdain,

It was amazing that Nick could understand it. He was sure that the other party was not speaking their language, and his tone was so loud that he almost smoked himself to death.

And this is the overlord from the High Motos civilization.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining civilizations also appeared one after another, all of which were humanoid creatures. Some civilizations had extremely thick body hair, a bit like savages, and some were very beautiful, with extremely tender skin and eyes like sapphires.

There are also extremely gloomy beings, wearing cloaks, wearing bone jewelry in both hands, and black beam guns on their waists, who look like enemies to anyone.

Long Ming took a deep breath, and he had some clues in his heart. It should be a humanoid civilization to participate. It’s just that something went wrong at a certain stage in the progress of civilization. For example, some planetary seas submerged the land, so humans evolved towards marine life.

Or the climate has changed, and in order to adapt to the environment, a new evolution has taken place.

In layman's terms, it is more like the same species, moving towards different evolutionary terminals in different environments.

Golly glanced at it for a while, and snapped her fingers when she saw that the teams of the twelve civilizations were all in line.

"Okay, let's go!"

In the next second, the metal square floor tiles under everyone's feet began to float in the air, like small aircraft, flying everyone into the sky.

Along the way, everyone can see magnificent steel buildings.

Some figures can also be vaguely seen, but no one can confirm whether these are human beings or other creatures.

At the same time, from time to time in the air, a miniature aircraft passed by them at an extremely fast speed.

It looks like it's about to hit, but it never does.

A moment later, everyone was amazed and landed on a giant circular square.

In the center of the square, a metal obelisk stands, and on the top of the obelisk sits a bright throne.

A girl with long silver hair, wearing a blue dress, a cold expression, a haughty and elegant demeanor, wearing crystal high heels, with a graceful body on her side, her chin propped up with one hand, was sitting on it like a queen.

Everyone recognized the girl in front of them at a glance, it was the NPC Ikaloya who opened the star ring.

Ikaloya stood up slowly, looking down at everyone with haughty eyes.

"Welcome to the Negative Universe. I am honored to tell you that your twelve civilizations from different dimensions have successfully stood out from hundreds of contestants and won the qualification to participate in the Cup of Heaven."

Hearing Ikaloya's words, everyone took a breath.

The subconscious meaning of her words is that hundreds of civilizations are disqualified, have no chance to stand here, and are destined to perish.

At this time, the Lord of Yanas, Memikas, also lowered his proud head and asked: "Respect Lord Ikaloya, what do we need to do to win the Cup of Heaven and the continuation of civilization."

Representatives of other civilizations also asked in awe.

Ikaloya replied indifferently.

"The so-called Sky Cup victory is very simple, just to survive.

As soon as this remark came out, all representatives of civilization looked vigilantly at representatives of other civilizations around them.

Long Ming's heart sank, could it be that they were killing each other?

"You don't have to guess wildly. What I said to survive is not to let you kill each other."

Ikaloya explained blankly.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But Ikaloya's next words made everyone's hearts go cold.

"What I'm talking about is surviving, which is more cruel than letting you kill each other."

When Ikaloya said this, a special virtual image expanded with a wave of his hand.

The map of the vast galaxy emerged, and you can see that the city of the star ring is at the center point. There are only twelve flashing light spots, which are shining on the orbit of the city of the star ring, representing the twelve different civilizations that have been selected. planet.

However, looking outside, the outside of the galaxy map is all bright red, a standard occupied area.

"Outside the track where you are, all monsters occupy the area. There are Titans, Zergs, strange people, aliens, etc., more than tens of thousands of races. They will tear you apart at all costs. All you need to do is live go down."

Hearing this, there was infinite panic in the eyes of everyone present, isn't this a pit of fire?

The faces of Long Ming and the others were also extremely ugly. They knew that winning the Sky Cup would be very difficult, but no one expected it to be like this.

However, Long Ming remained patient and didn't say anything. Normally, he shouldn't be given a dead end.

But some grumpy people may not be able to bear it.

For example, the big man from the Gomotos civilization accused him with red eyes.

"What kind of cup is this? It's clearly a dead end."

Ikaloya sneered like watching an idiot.

"It's up to you whether you live or die. In the galaxies occupied by monsters outside, there are countless ruins of fallen civilizations. You can plunder them infinitely to create new civilizations. When you win, your civilization will be ruined." Fire was reborn and became the new master of the world."

"Of course, as an inviter, I also prepare a gift for all of you, allowing you to obtain the minimum qualifications to fight against monsters. All of you get gold points and silver points from the star ring, and it will be 1 to 1 and 1 to 0.1 It will be converted into star coins unconditionally. At that time, you can enter the city around the stars and exchange everything you want inside, materials, weapons, technological blueprints, etc. It is worth noting that the gold points and silver that can be exchanged for star coins point, not the gold and silver metals in your hands, after all, those metals are not worth mentioning in the vast universe."

"It is also worth noting that you are strictly prohibited from attacking each other within the protection range of the Star Ring City. Of course, outside the area covered by the Star Ring City, you can fight whatever you want. Of course, you can also ignore my words and choose your future and future at will. Make all the choices you want, including attacking each other between civilizations, and even attacking the city of Star Ring, as long as you have the strength and bear the corresponding consequences."

Hearing Ikaloya's words, everyone fell silent.

At this time, Long Ming's old face kept changing, and he finally asked.

"Respect Lord Ikaloya, what about the civilization that participated in the Cup of Heaven before?"

"They have all sunk into the endless sea of ​​stars. The Sky Cup will continue to select contestants until the real winner is determined. Your arrival will prove their demise."

Ikaloya made no secret of exposing the harsh reality.

"Isn't this the same or a dead end, let us die in disguise?"

Some civilization representatives responded with some unacceptable responses.

Ikaloya's eyes became colder and colder. She flicked her sleeves and replied in an extremely cold voice.

"The future can be used as a bet. What is a mere human life? Fate may be unfair, but death will treat everyone equally!"

In the next second, everyone present fell silent.

Su Mo and others, who were watching the live broadcast, were also shocked from the beginning to silence.

In any case, this is the reality, if you don't fight, you will die, and if you fight, there may be a chance of survival.

"Goli gave them the exchange token, and you will explain the rest to them."

"yes."

Golly replied respectfully.

Afterwards, Ikaloya's figure turned into light spots and disappeared, and no one knew whether Ikaloya, the owner of the Star Ring City, was a human being or an illusory image.

At this time, Ge Li took out some metal plates and handed them to the representatives of civilizations one by one with a smile.

"This is a symbol of your civilization."

Long Ming took the sign and took a look at it. There was a five-digit number written on it, which should represent their number.

Golly said with a smile: "Okay, now everyone can exchange your gold and silver points into star coins. Star coins are the common currency of Star Ring City, and their main material is cast from star stones." , and starstone is a kind of ore that contains special energy, and it is also the cornerstone of this world. You can use star coins to exchange for weapons, all technologies, and even materials you want. Of course, these are just your starting funds and do not represent anything In the future, you still have to watch your own development."

"Give us 700 million gold points and 2.6 billion silver points."

The Lord of Yanas, Memikas, spoke first.

Hearing the words of the Lord of Yanas, Memikas, some civilizations looked a little moved. Long Ming accurately captured the changes in their expressions, and 700 million gold points and silver points should be considered a lot.

Golly directly took out a special striped metal card and handed it to Memikas. At the same time, she directly operated it on her wristband, and directly deducted its corresponding gold point and silver point value.

"Next."

In fact, Long Ming guessed right, 700 million is indeed a lot.

The next exchange for many civilizations is only 300 million, 400 million, and of course there are more.

But what surprised Long Ming the most was the unattractive Falaise civilization, who exchanged one billion gold points and three billion silver points in one go.

In the end it was Long Ming's turn, but he was not in a hurry to exchange, but waited for the representative of the civilization who exchanged to leave.

Golly said to the people who had already changed, "You can go to the Star Ring City to exchange on the intelligent mechanical pillars erected everywhere. You can also go to various shops to exchange, in short, there is everything here. Only you can't think of it, and you can exchange it without you." not reach."

Many civilization representatives left after hearing Golly's words.

At this moment, Long Ming stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Exchange two billion gold points and eight billion silver points for me."

Ge Li took another meaningful look at Long Ming, and then replied.

"Okay! A total of 2.8 billion star coins, you keep it."

In fact, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Federation to have so many gold points and silver points, but the Federation is different from other civilizations in that they participated in the Earth Cup twice.

Accumulated background is naturally thicker than others, this is a big gamble!

Fortunately, they won the bet, after they gave up the first Sky Cup. The entire country gritted its teeth to reach a unification, overcame difficulties together, and forcibly held on until the second opening of the Cup of Earth.

Not killing each other and crashing.

Ge Li picked up a card and handed it to Long Ming.

"Wish ya'll good luck."

"Thanks."

Long Ming took the card.

After finishing everything, Geli turned around and left directly.

At this time, Augustus and other members looked at Long Ming with very ugly expressions.

"How do I feel, the star ring calls us over, as if using us as shield consumables to resist external monsters."

"Yes, like cannon fodder."

"I also have this feeling."

Long Ming raised his hand to interrupt everyone, and said in a deep voice.

"Fate is won by oneself, but I don't think it's a bad thing. Don't say such things in the future. This is also our opportunity, our opportunity to rise."

"Makes sense."

Augustus nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Long Ming suddenly turned his head to look into the distance, and several figures left in a panic.

"What's wrong?"

Augustus asked.

"Someone is staring at us, but it's not clear whether it's a person or something. Let's leave them alone, let's go and see what resources and weapons can be exchanged, so we can discuss it and make the most of the limited funds in our hands."

Long Ming replied in a deep voice.

"Okay, but are we looking for a store to exchange, or are we looking for a mechanical column to exchange?"

"Looking for the mechanical column, I have a feeling that the mechanical column should be opened by the owner of the star ring. But the store is not necessarily, although the store is likely to be cheaper, but it is not guaranteed. After all, their knowledge is much richer than ours."

"Makes sense."

Everyone responded one after another.

So Long Ming led the people towards an empty mechanical pillar in the distance.

At the same time, Nick whispered to the broadcast equipment in his hand: "Dear people, the next step is to involve federal secrets, so there will be no more public live broadcasts, goodbye!"

Speaking of Nick, he cut off the live broadcast signal.

Suddenly, the TV in front of Su Mo was covered with snowflakes.

Su Mo was speechless, he was fascinated by it. He was extremely curious as to what the Star Ring City could exchange for.

Once curiosity comes up, it makes people uncomfortable.

Su Mo was walking around in the room. He was a little bit pained. Although the Federation did not restrict the public from accessing the truth, even if the public knew the usefulness of gold points and silver points, they were unlikely to be able to play a role.

Because the prerequisite for you to use these two things is to go to the City of Star Rings.

And to go to the city of the star ring, you must have a ship, and now only the federation has the ship, which means that the exchange channel is in the hands of the federation.

I have so much money, and it is difficult to exchange it. Maybe there will be a way in the future, but at least it is like this for now.

On the other side, Long Ming and others stood in front of the mechanical column, checked the exchange interface, and saw the dazzling exchange list, everyone was stunned.

A type I gene medicine that can comprehensively strengthen people, and a medicine that can extend a person's lifespan by a hundred years, unexpectedly only costs 100 star coins.

It's cheap as hell, but this is only limited to the lowest level of genetic medicine, and the higher the level, the more expensive it is. For example, the V-type genetic medicine costs one billion star coins, and the price varies according to different varieties.

The types of ships are even more drool-worthy.

They even saw a planetary star destroyer that sold for 100 billion star coins.

Its remark parameters clearly state that the main cannon is equipped with a meteorite cannon, which can easily destroy a standard planet when it is fully charged.

Destroying planetary-level ships is an existence that they usually dare not even think about.

Now it's just a bunch of redemption numbers, how can it not make people very excited.

"Look at this planet-level fortress! It's super cheap, and the price is only 200 billion star coins."

Spade said with red eyes.

Long Ming also frowned, and reminded: "Calm down, we only have 2.8 billion star coins, and it is impossible to exchange only one type of thing. We need to exchange production lines, blueprints, and reserve materials, as well as various urgently needed items."

After hearing Long Ming's words, Spade and the others gradually calmed down, replaced by great disappointment.

It's like the treasure is right in front of you, and you can get it right away, but it's a pity that the balance is insufficient.

Augustus said in a deep voice: "You are the calmest here at Longming, and you will allocate the purchases. We support you unconditionally."

Augustus doesn't dare to ask other people to give advice now, including himself, who has the urge to spend all his money to buy a large ship.
