Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 88 Bounty Hunter
The next day, Ren Mian left Olympia.

She never said where she was going, and Ji Xinghuo would not ask.

Only Ji Xinghuo and Jiangnan Caiyi were left in the villa, but after a few days, Jiangnan Caiyi also returned to Earth.

There is not much difference between cultivating on the earth and the astral world. Most people like to live on the earth, where life is more convenient and they are with their families.

Ji Xinghuo considered returning to Earth immediately, and took the initiative to hand over Ren Mian's letter to the Sword Bureau, so that he would be at ease.

However, Ren Mian also confessed that it should be as late as possible.

Ji Xinghuo thinks it makes sense, the later he gets in touch with the Sword Bureau, the stronger his strength will be, and he can calmly face any problems.

He continued to practice alone.

Using a bottle of B-grade blood marrow solution every day, the star power increased steadily, and soon broke through 440 points.

Martial arts ranks have also improved rapidly.

However, when Ji Xinghuo opened the Vientiane Star Pupil interface, he found it unbearable to see his own and Qing Hong's abilities, and the progress of those upgrades had only a slight increase.

Without spiritual energy, only relying on exercising supernatural powers by yourself, improving efficiency is a world of difference!

The growth of star power is very important, and the upgrade of abilities is also very important.

It is difficult for ordinary people to take care of both ends, but I can do it myself!
Moreover, the growth of star power seems to be too fast. Ji Xinghuo predicts that when his star power reaches about 500 points, he will evolve for the third time and be promoted to a high-level alien.

This is not a good thing, because at the stage of intermediate aliens, I only fused two alien species, and did not increase the upper limit of star power too much.

The Thunderbolt Hand is only a high-quality ability, and only a dozen points of star power have been added after the fusion.

It's not enough.

After thinking about it, Ji Xinghuo finally packed his bag and put it in Qing Hong's dimensional stomach, and embarked on a hunting journey again.

His original plan was to go to Juefeng Valley and continue to harm those stone sickles.

But then thought of a better place to go.

early morning.

Ji Xinghuo boarded a train, drove out from the east gate of Olympia, and galloped southeast along the railway.

Three hours later, the train slowed down and pulled into the station.

In the car, Ji Xinghuo saw the strong fortresses and fortresses along the way. This is the "star frontier", 274 kilometers away from the earth and the star gate of Fomalhaut.

He got off the train, and as far as he could see was a huge military fortress, covering an area of ​​more than 30 square kilometers. Built according to military needs.

In the fortress, there is a post at five steps and a post at ten steps.

Teams of heavily armed soldiers patrolled the city, and there was the sound of military drills in the distance. Most of the pedestrians on the street were soldiers.

Looking at the high wall, there are rows of dense steam ballistas installed on the 30-meter-high city wall, and there is a constant roar inside the city wall, which is the sound of steam boilers running.

Thick smoke and mist shrouded the sky, as if returning to the earth in the age of steam engines.

This is "Fortress Midpoint"!
The distance between Earth and the two star gates of Fomalhaut is 548 kilometers.

In 2051, after the Earth Allied Forces repelled the invasion of the Fomalhaut tribe and took back the Stargate, the two sides signed a peace agreement under the mediation of the Tianyu Royal Court, drawing a line between the two stargates to the southwest. -The border line going northeast.

The earth side calls it the astral defense line.

This line of defense is located in the southeast of Olympia, with a length of [-] kilometers. The east end is Yanhuang City of the Asia-Pacific Community, and the south end is New Philadelphia of the American Federation.

On the star boundary defense line, the countries of the earth continued to invest manpower and material resources, and built military fortresses at every important terrain node.

So far, there are more than seventy fortresses!

On average, about [-] kilometers away, there is a military fortress or fort, and troops are stationed inside.

In the area behind the line of defense, all key terrains and important positions have been built with fortifications, such as sentry towers, forts, fortresses, barracks, etc., tens of thousands, extending all the way to Olympia, including the entire Olympia in the defense system.

Of course, the military center of gravity is still in the southeast.

Fomalhaut is doing something similar.

On the opposite side of the astral defense line was the front line of the Fomalhaut tribe, with a buffer zone of less than five kilometers between the two.

There are more than 70 military fortresses on the Star Boundary Defense Line, the most important of which is the Midpoint Fortress.

It was the first to be built and the largest in scale.

At the same time, the geographical location of the Midpoint Fortress is also very important. It is built on the top of a mountain more than 200 meters high, blocking the most convenient road to Olympia.

The midpoint fortress is heavily populated, and the Asia-Pacific Community alone has stationed an entire group army here, with a number of about [-]!
There are also armies from the American Federation and other countries, with a total of more than 50 troops.

The railway station was built at the foot of the Midpoint Fortress, between the first city wall and the second city wall, on a relatively flat terrain.

After getting off the car, Ji Xinghuo walked towards the upper city. Almost all the people he saw along the way were soldiers. There were checkpoints at every intersection to check his identity and race.Most of the shops, restaurants, bars, and hotels on the street were strangers in military uniforms.

Everything here is in the service of war.

After a while.

Ji Xinghuo came to a gate of the second city wall. After checking his identity, he waited for the gate to be opened with other people who wanted to enter the city.

clack clack...

With a burst of steam hissing, white smoke billowed, and the sound of chains and gears rotating came from the black city wall. Three heavy city gates made entirely of alloy were lifted up one by one by hinge chains, and stopped at about three meters above the ground. height, and then stopped moving.

"Hurry up!"

"Go in right away, the city gate is only open for 3 minutes, don't delay."

Under the loud urging of the city gate guards, Ji Xinghuo quickly passed through the city gate with the crowd, and entered a higher-level urban area, known as the second-level urban area.

The layout of Midpoint Fortress is simple and straightforward.

The outermost is the first-level urban area, which has the lowest terrain and the largest area, accounting for about one-third of the entire fortress; then there is the second-level urban area, located between the second inner wall and the third inner wall, where most of the fortress is located. The location of the office and some important military camps;

Further up is the third-level urban area, where armaments, food and various military supplies are stored;

The highest hilltop city area is the smallest but also the most important. It is the command center of the entire Midpoint Fortress, where the military chiefs of the armies of various countries live, and the king of heaven is in charge.

Ji Xinghuo hadn't walked far in the second-tier urban area before he saw his destination.

"Midpoint Fortress Bounty Office."

He watched for a while.

It is said to be an office, but in fact there is a military camp next to it, and there are not many people entering and leaving, but everyone who enters and exits here is not a soldier, and they are all full of sturdy aura, and some even smell of blood, like desperadoes .

Every single one of them is a bounty hunter!
Bounty Hunter is not a class template, but an ancient class.

In the past, bounty hunters hunted criminals, but now, the target of hunting has become the Fomalhaut clan.

Although both Earth and Fomalhaut have established military defense lines and agreed not to invade each other, the two sides have already had bloody feuds, so how could they be bound by a single agreement?
On the defensive line, friction happens every day.

Larger conflicts break out every year, the bloodshed continues, and the war never stops!
In addition to the military conflict on the surface, aliens from both sides are also constantly crossing the line of defense, secretly infiltrating and hunting the enemy on the opposite side.

Countries on Earth encouraged Yiren to do so, and offered rewards.

The bounty for a Dagon is [-] Asian dollars, and the price for vine spirits is the same. The bounty for Golaukak is [-] Asian dollars, and the lowest is for the Stone Lizard, with a reward of only [-].

As long as you get back your Fomalhaut identity and prove that you have killed the enemy, you can claim the bounty.

The collected alien species can also be sold for money.

This revitalizes the ancient profession of bounty hunter. Many aliens are good at fighting, but have no patience to hunt monsters, and are willing to take risks for money.

There are also people who are not for money.

Some aliens want to sharpen their actual combat ability, to make progress in real life-and-death battles, and to make money by the way.

This kind of person is often either a knife-edge licking blood, or a real genius!

Or both.

There are also some people who are influenced by historical education and hate the Fomalhaut clan to the bone. Only by killing the enemy of all mankind with their own hands can they relieve their hatred and obtain psychological relief.

Of course, there are still some people who are simply bored and enjoy killing people to satisfy their perverted cravings.

There are also those who kill the enemy to take pictures and return to the earth to show off.

There are also those who want to be heroes.

In short, none of the bounty hunters are easy to mess with. Those who can work in this industry for a long time are much stronger than their peers.

Ji Xinghuo walked into the reward offering office and came to the processing counter.

A soldier sat behind the table, looked up at Ji Xinghuo, and asked, "What service do you want?"

"I want to register as a bounty hunter."

It's not like just bringing an organ from the Fomalhaut clan to receive a bounty. It must be registered in advance before it can be officially recognized.

Bounty hunters also have a points system.

In addition to monetary rewards, the more enemies hunted, the corresponding welfare benefits in various countries, as well as the title medal of the battle hero, which is linked to the points.

This system is also designed to manage bounty hunters.

In war, the most taboo is chaotic management, and bounty hunters cannot be allowed to be completely free and undisciplined, so as not to cause negative effects when important battles occur.

The soldier nodded and handed over a form, "Fill out the information and return it to me."

Ji Xinghuo took the form and sat aside.

Name, age, gender, nationality, occupation, rank, and some brief characteristics such as height and weight, email address, and emergency contact, etc., do not involve other personal privacy.Apparently, the Reward Office does not require real information to be filled in.

Ji Xinghuo originally wanted to write a pseudonym, but suddenly remembered what Ren Mian had said.

"When I kill hundreds or even thousands of Fomalhaut clans, accumulate a lot of points, and get a few hero medals, no one will doubt my position, right?"

In the field of public opinion, when the hero points reach a high enough level, it is equivalent to a talisman.

Absolutely politically correct, universal!

Ji Xinghuo didn't hesitate any longer, and wrote down his real name on the name column.

He filled out the form and handed it in.

"Please stand still."

The soldier pointed to a spot in front of the white wall, and after Ji Xinghuo stood up, he picked up the film camera and pointed it at Ji Xinghuo, clicked a few times, and took pictures of Ji Xinghuo's bust and full body respectively, and said, "Get it in an hour." Your bounty hunter qualification."
