Chapter 42: Swapping a Shotgun for a Cannon
Now Mu Chen couldn't believe that "Mecha God of War" was just a simple game. The recruitment speculation post he saw on the Internet might not be groundless.
Perhaps it was more than that. The description of spiritual power cultivation to the final stage in the "Spiritual Harmony" material made him yearn for it, but it also frightened him.
What is the concept of eternal spiritual power?
This is the rhythm of becoming a god!
Let’s not talk about the likelihood of success of this kind of thing, but from this we can at least see that the Earth Federation Science Research Institute, or simply the Earth Federation, has quite a conspiracy in this game.
But what if he knew this?
Now he is just an ordinary college student and an ordinary game player. His biggest wish at present is to make money and cure his sister's disease.
Even further, I just hope that I can earn enough money through games and live a prosperous and stable life. If possible, I will marry a gentle and beautiful wife in the future and have one or two lovely children. That's enough.
As an ordinary person, his thoughts are so ordinary and simple.
Although he has traveled through time once, he is just an ordinary person no matter before or after time travel.
You can't expect an ordinary college student, an otaku who only knows how to play games, to suddenly develop such lofty ideals as saving the earth or destroying the world. This is unrealistic.
Mu Chen just wants to live a peaceful life now. It is really not his place to interfere with what the Earth Federation Scientific Research Institute or the Earth Federation wants to do through this game.
Besides, there are hundreds of millions of players in this game, basically covering all walks of life in the Earth Federation society. If there is any problem, it won't be his turn to come forward.
Moreover, in Mu Chen's view, the current Earth Federation has a sound rule of law and a stable and orderly society. No matter what happens, no one would dare to risk the lives of so many people.
Conspiracy theories and so on, in the final analysis, he is just scaring himself.
Thinking of this, Muchen shrank decisively and just pretended that nothing happened!
It's just monitoring. Anyway, I haven't done anything shameful in the game, so I just think of it as contributing to building a harmonious society.
Of course, you still need to practice. No matter what this game will eventually become, improving your own strength is not a bad thing.
There is a saying that goes well, life is like being raped, if you can't resist, just close your eyes and enjoy it!
Thinking about everything on the bright side, the fact that he has attracted the attention of the Earth Federation Science Research Institute, the boss behind the game, at least shows that his talent is outstanding even among the hundreds of millions of players, right?
After figuring out that there would probably be no serious dangers if he continued playing this game, Mu Chen's mind came alive again.
No matter what the purpose of these big guys is, it ultimately depends on the players in the game to achieve it. As long as they can continue to show their value, they may be able to get some additional benefits.
The reason why such an idea came to mind was that Mu Chen found that in the information he had just read, the section on how to practice to break through to spiritual power accounted for more than one-third.
Moreover, the instructions for each step of this part of cultivation are extremely detailed, and every detail is explained clearly and clearly.
For example, for a simple mecha action, this information will list all the mecha parts that need to be controlled to complete this action, and then carefully explain the operating principles of these parts, and then describe them one by one with the cultivator's control behavior. Correspondence allows viewers to not only know what is happening, but also why it is happening.
This is a completely different narrative style from the content of cultivation after reaching spiritual power.
Mu Chen's mind was spinning so fast. He could already infer a lot of things through these small details.
It seems that breaking through the spiritual power and liberating it is not that simple!
There shouldn't be many people who practice this technique who can break through to this realm, right?
In this way, I have successfully broken through to the second level, so I should be considered a rare talent.
This conclusion made him feel more at ease.
Talents, why don't they just use them as cannon fodder?
As for the benefits, he just thought about it. For him now, this cultivation method itself is already a huge benefit.
Not only did he solve the current problems he encountered, but he also gave himself hope for continued improvement.
Although he has never wanted to be a superhero who wears underwear, it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to improve his strength.
Apart from anything else, after his strength increases, the chance of winning the prize money from the competition will be much higher. Even for this, he must work hard to practice.
After making up his mind, Mu Chen no longer hesitated, exited the training ground directly, and opened the mecha purchasing interface.
After struggling for so long, I can finally enter the shopping phase that I love to see.
Is Windrunner already in disrepair? Just replace it!
Multifunctional laser transmitters can’t keep up with demand? Change!
Is the tungsten steel titanium sword broken? Buy new ones!
Mu Chen, who felt that he was now wealthy, almost couldn't hold back his eager heart when he looked at the dazzling array of products on the shopping interface.
However, after dilly-dallying for a long time, he finally bought only a common-level Windrunner II, a blue iridium alloy sword, and a small charged laser cannon.
These things only cost 870 machine battle points in total.
If the common-level Windrunner II mecha has 640 combat points and is replaced by something else, the price will be a bit lower, not to mention whether it can be used regularly.
If you choose the same model of mecha helicopter, the windrunner type I, which has become a tattered one, can still hold 160 combat points. If you buy another one, it will be a waste.
The blue iridium alloy sword has 80 combat points. This sword is 2.7 meters long and weighs 135 kilograms. It has no other characteristics except that it is durable and durable.
Mu Chen felt that using the sword was too expensive. He might break it when he got happy. He spent a lot of money to buy a better one and it probably wouldn't be used for a few times. At least he wouldn't feel bad if it broke.
The small rechargeable laser cannon has 150 combat points. This is an upgraded version of the multi-function laser launcher. It can also be recharged in multiple stages, with a single shot of 5,000. The maximum attack power can reach 25,000. In any case, it can be regarded as a replacement of a shotgun with a cannon.
In this way, after spending a total of 870, Mu Chen completed the change of clothes.
There was no way around it. He had long been accustomed to being careful with his budget. Even if he had some spare money now, he wouldn't be willing to spend it all at once.
This is especially true after seeing those enhanced mechas that often have more than 3,000 mecha points.
Common-level mechas and weapons are just transitional, there is no need to waste them.
