Cataclysm King

Chapter 151 Titan Mechanical Research Institute
A good night's dream.

Ever since he learned the breathing method, Ji Xun hadn't had such a long and comfortable sleep for a long time.

The ultimate experience brought by the Yinyue joy secret technique makes people not feel tired afterwards, but has an indescribable sense of relaxation both physically and mentally.

And this feeling is addictive.

Ji Xun didn't have the habit of sleeping late, and his biological clock opened his eyes early in the morning.

I looked at the time on the wall, it was seven o'clock.

Ji Xun sat up, looked at the naked Miss Qiqi lying beside him, and the corners of his mouth curled up inexplicably.

Her figure was graceful and well-proportioned, her skin was delicate, and because she was lying on the bed, her majestic chest was squeezed and deformed.

No matter what, it's very attractive.

Seemingly aware of that gaze, Dong Qi moved his eyelashes slightly, but he didn't intend to open them.

Ji Xun admired it and stroked her smooth skin.

Then I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Dong Qi originally wanted to sleep more.

Thinking about tossing all night, I should be very tired.

But I don't know why I just woke up, but I feel very energetic.

Hearing that Ji Xun got out of bed, she didn't feel sleepy after lying down for a while, so she got out of bed too.

They were already very familiar with each other, and Dong Qi had no intention of putting on clothes, so he walked to the bathroom naked.

Ji Xun was brushing his teeth. Seeing Dong Qi walk in, he also moved a little away, and said vaguely, "Sleep for a while?"

The free hand patted the upturned buttocks.

With a sound of "啪~", there were slight waves.

Dong Qi looked at himself in the mirror with sleepy eyes, picked up his toothbrush, and muttered, "I can't sleep anymore."

The cup was filled with water, she took a sip, and after vomited, she asked, "You still woke up so early? I thought you were tired and needed to sleep a little longer."

Miss Kiki is not shy.

Ji Xun listened to the obviously joking tone, turned sideways, and stood behind her, holding his waist with a clear vest line with one hand.

Although Dong Qi is half a head shorter than Ji Xun, the proportions of his legs are very exaggerated.

When the two stood together, their hip bones were not much different.

And because Dong Qi's figure is exquisite, his hips are straight, and he is not wearing any clothes, this posture is a bit ambiguous.

Warm touch, suddenly full of interest.

Dong Qi glanced at Ji Xun behind him from the vanity mirror, his brows were curved, and he said: "It's not easy for me to wash up like this."

Immediately after sensing something, she raised her eyebrows and looked again, the expression in her crystal eyes also teased a little, and asked, "Why, you are so energetic so early in the morning?"

As he spoke, he twisted his delicate body provocatively.

After the joy last night, this kind of intimate and ambiguous action was also unlocked, without any tweaking at all.

Ji Xun smiled and enjoyed the joy brought by this kind of intimacy.

After the toothbrush was finished, Gulu Gulu spat out a mouthful of water.

Because Dong Qi was still in front of her, some bubbles flowed on her collarbone, and then flowed down.

Ji Xun stretched out a hand and clung to it, wiping off the foam.

Instead of wiping it off, it got all over my body.

Dong Qi glanced at the hand that was still rubbing foam at the beginning, but then wandered around, and said quietly: "Ah, this guy got it all over the place."

Her tone was a little helpless, but there was a faint smile on her pretty face.

I don't think it's too early in the morning.

Dong Qi's body was slightly tilted back, and he tilted his head and covered Ji Xun's face with his mouth full of bubbles.

Looking at the painted face in the mirror, he immediately laughed.

In the bathroom, it will soon be full of beautiful spring scenery again.

After breakfast, Ji Xun and Dong Qi changed into hunter costumes and came to the west gate of the crowded Lion City.

The Lionheart family spent a lot of financial and material resources in this new city.

Now almost every day, there are more than [-] trains coming from the Nugget Wharf of Innocence City, bringing in a large amount of materials and personnel, and the construction of the city has new changes almost every day.

All kinds of functional buildings have already been prepared.

For example, the hunter union.

The Hunter Guild has a branch at the West City Gate.

There are densely packed hunters here who are ready to venture out of the city.

The new city discovered by the Lionheart family is very rich in resources, with countless different-dimensional spaces and various mining resources waiting to be developed.

So this has attracted a large number of speculators and hunters to risk gold.

There are also well-equipped official hunter groups and various mercenaries brought by nobles from other main cities.

The efficiency of land reclamation is very high.

Ji Xun and Dong Qi came to the Hunter Union, where it was crowded and noisy.

Various recruitment information is displayed on the notice board at the door.

"'Sen'jin Sentinel' Beast Hunter Group recruits pioneer hunters to explore A-level difficulty, and the settlement fee is 30W"

"'Dark Garden Lair' opened up wasteland, produced high-quality demon marks, finished skill cards, and decrypted masters."

"'1981 Titan Mechanical Research Institute' brushes mechanical blueprints, regardless of occupation, to violently output."

"."

Even though Ji Xun had carefully reviewed almost all the information he could get before coming here, but after coming here today, he saw a lot of new information about different dimensions.

I glanced casually.

Ji Xun also discovered that it seemed that the closer to the depths of the Old Continent, the more difficult extra-dimensional spaces there were, and the materials produced became more and more precious.

After casually listening to the hunters chatting a few words, I found that in some difficult different-dimensional spaces recently, all kinds of gold and silver cards and materials have been produced.

Although the death rate is high, hunters are also flocking to it.

But Ji Xun's goal has been set.

He just glanced at it casually.

It didn't take long for him to get the latest detailed information about "1981 Titan Mechanical Research Institute" from the intelligence merchant.

The two sat in a tavern near the trade union and found a seat by the window.

Ji Xun carefully read the information of that alien space.

And Dong Qi was sitting opposite, flipping through the information he had read.

She grew up in gangsters since she was a child, and she has never really explored different dimensions.

Although she was no stranger to the hunter profession, she was a little cautious when preparing for the first time as a hunter.

After all, the guaranteed death rate in the different-dimensional space is no joke.

And more importantly.

She was afraid that she would be too weak and become a burden to the one in front of her.

When doing business, Ji Xun always looks serious, efficient and focused.

He quickly finished looking through the information, and said to Dong Qi: "The alien space restricts entry ranks. Although there are many monsters, if there is no hidden plot, the strongest monsters should be the second-order A-level, C, and D-level monsters." The difficulty of the plot seems to be very easy at present. And there is no restriction on mechanical weapons, our firepower is sufficient, and there is almost no risk. So I may choose to explore B-level or higher at that time."

"Ah."

Dong Qi nodded while listening.

The analysis of the space in these words has been very thorough, and she couldn't get in.

At this time, Ji Xun looked at Dong Qi and said, "There is one more important point."

In fact, he knew very well that Dong Qi's combat power was definitely not low.

The combat power of the main body is indeed not strong, but the combat power of the mechanic lies in the machinery.

Her armor forged by Gunnir Orkin, among other things, has a better life-saving ability than the average third-level card master.

In this kind of different-dimensional space, it is actually enough.

But Ji Xun is very clear that in the different-dimensional space, the most dangerous thing is never monsters, but people!
After talking about the tactical layout of the different-dimensional space, he said again: "Be careful when the time comes. At present, this space has revealed a few very practical black-tech mechanical drawings. Those from the Lionheart family are willing to release it, there is a high probability that there is a hidden danger , I have the idea of ​​letting outsiders go to mine. Moreover, they may have some information that others do not know, and there may be changes at that time."

This is not conjecture.

But it is most likely true.

When Ji Xun first traveled through time, in the 407 space, he still didn't quite understand why Cao Yu could go directly to the final level of the extradimensional space.

It was only later that I gradually realized that those top nobles had some information about the Old Continent that was unknown to outsiders.

So when the Cao family brought out those newly discovered mechanical black technologies, Ji Xun specifically asked Xie Guozhong.Then I learned that the batch of information about the Old Continent in the hands of the Cao family came from the Oran Dynasty that collapsed 200 years ago.

And the Lionheart family will choose a site to build a new city here, obviously it is not a random choice.

Instead, he has some directional and accurate information.

Think again about Chujiu's mother who was imprisoned in Rose Manor.

In fact, it can be speculated that the Lionheart family and the survivors of Oran have secretly colluded.

So the information in hand is almost a certainty.

Based on the current information about the "1981 Titan Machinery Research Institute", Ji Xun saw a lot of shadows of the Lionheart family behind the scenes.

But that's one of the reasons he chose.

There is no room for difficulty, so he can't arouse much interest.

After Dong Qi listened, he thought about it seriously, and nodded: "Yes."

The two were discussing in the tavern.

However, it is also a coincidence.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly walked past the window.

"what"

Dong Qi glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and let out a slight hey, his expression immediately became uneasy.

Because the group of people walking outside was none other than the fifth young master of the Lionheart family, Kake.

Dong Qi was captured last time because of the guy, it's strange to have a good face.

Ji Xun also followed his gaze.

This Young Master Kake had an arm broken by Qin Rushi in Hong Lou before, and now it seems that he has connected it, and he is leading a group of guards to patrol the city.

This Lion City originally belonged to the Lionheart family, so it's not surprising to see this one.

Ji Xun cares about other things.

Among the group of guards, he also found Artest, the master of the Brotherhood, "Boxer".

However, Ji Xun's gaze was not focused on Artest, but on the sword-shaped object wrapped in bandages on the guy's back.

He guessed it was a weapon.

But usually combat weapons such as relics are stored in cards for easy access and warming.

Those carried like this are either cheap goods that are not worth wasting a containment card, such as most mechanical equipment.

Or it's uncontainable.

Like a catastrophe!
Ji Xun knew that Artest had advanced to the third level, so he preferred the latter.

Just as this thought flashed by, Dong Qi on the side also saw his gaze, and said coldly: "The big sword behind that guy Artest is the cataclysmic object that was snatched from Big Ivan's warehouse—【X-199 -Useless Great Sword].”

Is it really a catastrophic thing?

When Ji Xun heard this, he suddenly remembered the time when the keel was auctioned, and the big Ivan shop was going to auction a cataclysmic item.

Later, because Master Merlin appeared midway, it was suddenly interrupted.

Could it be this one?
I asked, and it was true.

Ji Xun was also puzzled, "Why is the cataclysmic object put up for auction?"

That kind of big chamber of commerce is definitely not short of money.

This thing is more valuable as a collectible than sold.

Dong Qi himself was also puzzled, and said: "I don't know the reason. But Fatty Song seems to mean his grandma. And based on the information currently known, the big sword is useless except for its indestructible properties. "

"."

Ji Xun's mouth twitched slightly.

This is true.

Most of the cataclysmic objects are too high-level for ordinary people to use.

This [X-199-Useless Great Sword] is said to be a cataclysmic object, but as the name suggests, it is known to be no different from an iron plate.

It's clumsy and has no special entries.

Nothing but hardness.

But when Ji Xun heard this, a thought came to his mind.

He has the cataclysm himself.

Just because this kind of high-end stuff is not available now doesn't mean it's useless.

If there is a chance, it is natural to hold it in your hand and study it.

After Dong Qi and Ji Xun had an intimate relationship, it seemed that there was some tacit understanding between the two.

She looked at Ji Xun's gaze, as if she had guessed something, and said, "Do you have any ideas about that sword?"

Ji Xun nodded.

Dong Qi's eyes suddenly lit up and he said enthusiastically: "Ah, I have wanted to kill that guy for a long time."

She and Artest belonged to the kind of deadly enemies, and they would definitely not be lenient if they could kill them.

But when he thought of something, Dong Qi showed embarrassment: "But, that guy is already in the third rank, which is very troublesome."

Ji Xun didn't take it seriously, but felt that the third level had some ideas that people wanted to try, and said indifferently: "Yes. When I advance to the second level, I can find a chance to try it."

But as soon as these words came out, a new idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

what.
Could it be that Artest's advancement to the third level has something to do with this great sword?
After all, the third level is a big threshold for a card master, and one needs to comprehend one's own "curse seal".

That threshold has troubled many Tier [-] card masters for a lifetime, and it cannot be passed just by working hard.

Instead, some special opportunities are needed.

But Artest's breakthrough was very sudden.

Thinking about it, this guy still carries a useless iron sword on his back at any time, maybe there is some special reason?
Ji Xun and Dong Qi had lunch, and then drove out of the high wall of Lion City in the hunter union's troop carrier.

There was a gray mist in the ruins outside, and visibility was extremely low.

From time to time, a few aberration monsters of unknown origin popped out of the mist.

Then Tu Tu Tu was shot to death randomly.

There are many wild monsters in the ruins, and everyone is used to it.

Ji Xun sat at the window, observing the environment of the surrounding streets all the way.

Although this is an ancient relic, the two-way eight-lane main road makes it clear that this was once an extremely prosperous city.

After driving for a few kilometers, the troop transport convoy stopped at a group of building ruins that looked like the entrance of a subway station.

There's a warped light gate here.

It is the entrance of the different-dimensional space "1981 Titan Mechanical Research Institute".

There is a team of mercenaries stationed near the space light gate.

Ji Xun glanced at the "one-eyed wolf head" group logo.

never seen it.

In other words, this group of mercenaries are not from Innocence City.

Looking at the military machinery and equipment on them, it is not difficult to guess that there is a high probability that this is a private soldier raised by a certain nobleman.

All the personnel got off the car, and a total of 30 people participated in the exploration.

Everyone was sent a free information.

There are no tickets for this entry.

Because the difficulty is not low.

A bearded burly man in a mechanical exoskeleton started the introduction.

"I'm Ke Sen, the deputy head of the 'Iron Hands Hunters', and I'm leading this expedition."

"The information in your hands is the latest information we currently have, so you can take a closer look."

"After entering the space, we will be randomly divided into three teams by the will of the space. The final reward will be judged based on the number of monsters killed by the team and the completion of the main task. Therefore, it is best for everyone to cooperate with each other more, so that the team evaluation will be higher. In the end Settlement rewards would be better”

"The research institute has already explored a lot of different dimensions. So this time we will have some land reclamation plans. The difficulty of entering will directly trigger C-level, and the death rate is not low. If you want to quit now, there is still time. But everyone can rest assured , this time in peaceful mode."

"."

Ji Xun had heard about this "hand of steel" in the previous information.

This is a well-known mechanical hunter group in Silver Mist City.

This regiment has a high rate of equipment mechanization, and most of its members are retired professional soldiers.

The overall combat power is much stronger than the hunter group of the same level in the city of innocence.

The leader Ke Sen continued to explain some situations in the space, and Ji Xun just listened casually.

The intelligence bought from the previous intelligence merchants is basically available.

While listening, Ji Xun also silently observed the positions of the people in the team.

Among the 30 people, there should be four second-tier card masters, eight first-tier card masters, and eighteen card master apprentices.

This space does not limit mechanical equipment.

So most of them are equipped with firearms and mechanical equipment.

The overall combat power should be pretty good.

And Ji Xun also noticed a detail.

Although only Ke Sen and a few members wore group uniforms, he took a closer look at the equipment and temperament of the 30 people and speculated that at least half of them should be members of the Iron Hands Hunters.

Judging from this posture, these scattered people are probably here to fill up the "guaranteed death rate" as cannon fodder.

But what others have said has been said before, and the scattered people also think it is reasonable.

Ji Xun felt even more indifferent.

After finishing speaking, 30 people filed in towards the distorted light gate.

The surrounding environment changed, and in a blink of an eye, he came to a claustrophobic corridor.

Enlightenment also occurs at the same time.

"You have entered "1981 Titan Mechanical Research Institute""

"Current plot disaster level: C"

"The death rate of this difficulty: 37.5%"

"Space exploration progress: 39.1%"

"Keywords: Squad Peace Mode"

"Clue: Some unknown reason caused the city's secret underground laboratory to leak pollution, and tens of thousands of humans in the nearby blocks were deformed into monsters."

"Current task: You and your teammates are investigators who are here to investigate the accident in the laboratory. You need to close the exit on the first floor of the laboratory to prevent the pollution from leaking out; killing monsters will give you additional settlement rewards."

Ji Xun looked at Qidi, and it was almost exactly the same as in the information, and there was nothing worthy of attention.

The only thing that is different from the previous extra-dimensional spaces is the "peace mode".

literal meaning.

In other words, in this space, teammates cannot kill each other.

This also prevents a lot of teammates who kill and steal black equipment.

But Ji Xun looked at it, but didn't take it seriously.

Cannot kill teammates.

But there is a lot of room for maneuver.

After observing the surrounding environment, it is no accident that this is one of the three landing spots.

The 30 people will be divided into three teams, one team of ten, and they will go to close the three exits on the first floor of the laboratory.

Fortunately, he and Dong Qi were in the same team.

Others, however, don't feel lucky.

A hook-nosed man wearing a mechanical arm observed the team configuration, exclaimed, "What's going on? Why are there so many apprentices in the team? There's not even a second-order one?!"

This time, the four Tier [-] teams are divided into three teams. In theory, each team has at least one Tier [-] team.

But the strange thing is that their team didn't!

There are only three first-tier card masters, and the remaining seven are all card master apprentices!
Moreover, even the apprentices are loose apprentices with poor equipment at first glance.

The aquiline nose was full of disbelief.

Normally, although the team allocation is random, usually the strength of the three teams is even, and there will not be much difference.

But the current configuration is obviously wrong.

Yinggoubi himself is a Tier [-] card master, and when he looked at Ji Xun and Dong Qi in the team, his eyelids twitched, thinking of something, and asked, "You two...are you carrying very powerful mechanical equipment? "

That's the only way to explain it.

Only if there are card masters in the team that are above the average level,
Dong Qi glanced at Ji Xun, and said, "Yes. I'm a mechanic, and I brought some powerful ammunition."

"."

The hooked nose heard the corners of his eyes twitch violently, but he couldn't say anything.

However, it can be seen from his expression that he is very desperate for this assignment.

The mechanic's ammunition is indeed a part of his strength, but the body is too weak and has great limitations.

In case of high-level monsters, without a second-level card master, the team can easily be wiped out.

This kind of team distribution is bad luck.

The other seven apprentices saw the situation clearly and also had unlucky expressions on their faces.

And it wasn't just their team that was surprised.

The other two teams were equally confused.

They were each assigned to two second ranks.

At first they all thought it was luck, and the team was divided into two second ranks.

But after careful inspection, it was found that even the apprentices were the elite of their regiment.

In other words, in the other team, almost the weakest individual hunter among the 30 people was divided.

The deputy leader Ke Sen had a puzzled expression on his face, as did the people around him.

After a little analysis, they immediately judged that among the scattered people that the team entered this time, there was a certain card master with the combat power of a second-tier card master.

With this in mind, someone immediately analyzed: "This time the adventure team is not mixed with some masters sent by other hostile forces, right?"

Generally speaking, among the scattered hunters, there are very few existences with superior combat power.

This is only the case with the elite cultivated by certain powerful forces.

Recently, the construction of the two new cities is in full swing, and they are also in competition with each other.

There are also the other four members of the Federation and the nobles, and there are many secret methods.

Hearing this, Ke Sen breathed a sigh of relief: "It doesn't matter. It's better to have a master. It just so happens that Master Kaker issued a death order, and this alien space must be cleared as soon as possible. According to the intelligence, this 1981 study is a A special ancient mechanical armor power core, which is said to be able to support super-heavy mecha battles. If you can get it, it will definitely be a key technology that can change the existing mechanical structure. This time our task is to bring the information from the third floor of the dungeon to Go out, there will be masters coming in to crack it later."

"But according to the information in our hands, there are no survivors after entering the third floor. And judging by the assessment of space experts, the 1981 Research Institute may eventually have a hidden plot that exceeds A-level. If we really want to go on rashly, I'm afraid."

"It doesn't matter, I have a top-secret information in my hand. There is a 'safe house' on the third floor of the research institute. As long as we can go to the third floor, the probability of surviving is very high. And it is much more convenient to use bombs. This time We have carried enough magic-breaking bombs, so we should be able to clean up those monsters on the second floor with low damage."

"Ah."

"."

With that said, everyone walked towards the depths of the research institute.

　Sorry, I was planning to write two updates today, but something happened and I was delayed.
