Chapter 208: Guarding the Homeland! The Secret of the Gap in Time and Space!
[Secret Realm: Guarding the Homeland]
[Level: LV59 (only LV59 and below professionals can enter)]
[Number of people entering: No upper limit]
[Difficulty: Increases over time]
[Restriction: Only support professionals can enter ]
[Description: A land affected by a mysterious aura, all the creatures in it have been transformed into strange beasts that only know how to devour humans. Your mission is to protect the last home of mankind! ]
[Main Mission: Guard your homeland! ]
[Mission Description: The alien beasts will attack the last home of mankind like a tide. You need to rely on your auxiliary ability to help the last humans resist the invasion of the alien beasts.]
[Guard for at least 30 days, otherwise the entire world's human beings and homes will be overwhelmed by the beasts. Even the human base camp will be affected.]
In a land with a dark sky, Zheng Cheng's figure slowly appeared.
Looking into the distance, the sky is dark, the earth is barren, and there are large tracts of dense forests on both sides.
He was now on a low hillside. About three kilometers away in the distance, there was a constantly surging dark fog.
“Is this the secret place that guards our homeland?”
Zheng Cheng muttered, recalling the information he had gathered, and then turned around.
Behind him stood a low thatched cottage.
Walking into the hut, there was indeed a prismatic crystal standing in the center, floating quietly in the air.
"Summoning Crystal..."
At the same time, words appeared in front of Zheng Cheng's eyes again.
These are the rules for guarding the secret realm of our home!
[Professionals are welcome to enter the secret realm of guarding the homeland. Please always abide by the following rules! 】
[1. Please protect your home crystal at all times. Once the home crystal is destroyed, your mission will be considered a failure! ]
[2. Please note that any skills with attack effects in this home will be disabled! ]
[3. You can collect life crystals to increase your summoned units, or you can collect wood and iron ore to upgrade your home crystals to summon higher star units.]
[4. Every time you summon a soldier, there is a chance to summon a 'hero unit'. Success rate of summoning a hero unit: 1 in 100,000.]
[5. Your soldiers can absorb soul power by killing monsters and then upgrade. However, different star soldiers have level caps and cannot break through them.]
[6. After killing the alien beast BOSS, there is a chance to obtain a hero crystal, which can be used to summon a hero unit. There is no upper limit for the upgrade of the hero unit. ]
[7. There is a certain chance that building blueprints will drop after killing the monsters. Please stock up on enough wood and crystals in advance.]
[8. After killing a monster, there is a certain chance of obtaining life essence, which can be used to increase the hero's star level.]
[9. As your star rating of killing monsters increases and time goes by, the area covered by your home will expand accordingly.]
[10. The level of your home limits the number of your military units. Please upgrade your home level as soon as possible.]
【Good luck.】
One rule after another appeared in front of Zheng Cheng. Although he already knew them, Zheng Cheng still read them carefully.
He then reached out and touched the summoning crystal, and another line of writing appeared before his eyes.
【Name: Home Crystal】
[Attribute: Time and Space Gap]
[Function: Summon life of corresponding race]
[Host: Zheng Cheng]
[Level: LV1]
[Current unit: 0/10]
[Resources: 0 (with 10 units of free resources to summon)]
[Attached buildings: None]
[Durability: 100/100]
[Tip: You need 100 units of iron ore and 10 units of space crystal to upgrade to LV2]
"Well, it's just a first-level home crystal, and all other data are 0... huh?"
Zheng Cheng's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the "Properties" column of the Home Crystal.
"A gap in time and space!"
"The home crystal is actually a gap in time and space!"
"Its function is to summon life of the corresponding race..."
He quickly pulled something out from his arms, a 'living thing' that was like jelly and collapsed in the palm of his hand.
Wonders of the world!
An award received from the joint professional college entrance examination.
It needs to heal and grow by devouring the gaps in time and space, and he has been searching for information about the gaps in time and space.
Unexpectedly, I got the answer here.
Sudden.
The wonder of the world in his hand seemed to feel the temptation of "food" and began to move.
Towards the direction of the home crystal!
Zheng Cheng quickly stuffed the world's wonder back. This home crystal was the key prop he used to complete the secret realm.
Wouldn't he be miserable if he was swallowed by the world's wonder?
"I didn't expect that the Home Crystal is a world wonder. It seems that there are secrets here that I don't know. It's a pity that there is only one Home Crystal here... Hmm?"
Zheng Cheng's pupils moved slightly: "No! Not one!"
"The subjects of this secret realm assessment are all the students of the Auxiliary College of the Imperial Capital National University, as well as some students of the Special College, at least more than 2,000 people."
"Doesn't that mean there are more than 2,000 Homeland Crystals here?"
“No, no, no…”
Zheng Cheng still shook his head vigorously: "Those things all belong to someone else, and they are all classmates. It would not be nice to snatch them away... However, if they voluntarily give them up, then wouldn't that mean..."
"Forget it, the most urgent thing is to protect our home first."
"After the strength of our troops is improved, we can find a way to investigate the surrounding environment."
Thinking of this, he placed his hand on the home crystal again.
"Summon troops!"
As soon as the words fell, the home crystal began to flash with faint light.
Ten figures slowly appeared before him.
"I wonder if I can summon a hero unit? One in a hundred thousand..."
After a few breaths, the light dissipated and ten figures appeared before him.
They were yellow people, not tall, with pale and thin faces, wearing linen clothes, probably in their twenties, but they looked like mummies without any morale.
Three of them were holding sickles, three were holding axes, and four were bare-handed with nothing.
Zheng Cheng frowned: " This soldier seems to be only a one-star...human laborer?"
"So unlucky? Forget hero units, not even a human civilian with some combat power was summoned!"
"Human laborers are considered trash even among one-star units..."
With a flash of his eyes, a human laborer holding a sickle appeared in front of him.
【Name: Zhang San】
[Race: Human]
[Army Type: Peonies]
[Star rating: one star]
[Level: LV1 (upper limit: LV10)]
[Host: Zheng Cheng]
【Constitution: 3】
[Strength: 2]
[Agility: 2]
[Spirit: 1]
[Morale: 20]
[Loyalty: 60]
[Hunger: 60]
[Skill 1: Felling Level 3. Years of hard work have given human laborers unique abilities in felling wood, collecting fodder, and weeds. Extra +1 proficiency when felling.]
The attributes of the other nine human laborers are not much different.
Looking at the counts of these ten human laborers, Zheng Cheng's mouth twitched subconsciously.
What kind of military force is this?
Damn it!
The four-dimensional attributes are not even as good as a ten-year-old child on Blue Star!
Moreover, their morale is only a pitiful 20 points, which means that there is a high probability that they will escape during the battle.
Loyalty is only 60 points, barely meeting the standard of not defecting.
The hunger level is also 60 points, which means that they can only work continuously for about an hour at most.
When the hunger level reaches 80 points, the enemy will start to slack off.
Once it reaches 90 points, abnormal conditions such as dizziness, weakness, hallucinations, etc. will occur, and you will be unable to work at all.
Want to rely on them to resist the monsters?
Don’t starve to death before the alien beast arrives!
Forget it, I never thought of relying on them.
"Greetings, my lord!"
After a few breaths, led by Zhang San, the ten human laborers all knelt down and saluted Zheng Cheng.
"Get up~"
Zheng Cheng waved his hand. Through the intelligence he had learned in advance, he knew that these summoned human soldiers would regard themselves as leaders, generals and other similar positions.
You have to be nice to them, care about them, or infect them with your leadership will, improve their morale and loyalty, so as to unleash their maximum combat power.
If they are treated as cannon fodder and exploited blindly, their morale and loyalty will drop significantly.
Once loyalty drops below 60 points, there is a certain chance of defection!
"All six of you, go to the forest and cut wood."
Zheng Cheng pointed at the six people holding sickles and axes and ordered, "The remaining four, go to the forest to find wild vegetables and fruits. Eat until you are full."
Zhang San asked curiously, "Sir, the strange beasts will attack our home in half an hour, don't we need to guard it?"
Zheng Cheng waved his hand: "No, I can arrange it freely."
After hearing this, the ten laborers' eyes all changed, and they said in unison: "Yes, sir!"
The ten people walked together towards the nearby forest. Only then did Zheng Cheng realize that the morale and loyalty of these ten people had all dropped by 1-3 points.
“Fuck!”
Zheng Cheng cursed inwardly, these guys don't believe in him...
Under normal circumstances, ten one-star units would go together to look for food, trying to improve their morale and loyalty and reduce their hunger in order to preserve their strength to meet the first wave of alien beast attacks.
When the first wave of alien beasts attacks, there is a high probability that various supplies will be dropped.
As long as they have supplies, their strength can be improved.
This will grow like a snowball, and then form a more solid strength.
But he had no choice now. He couldn't let these ten hard laborers guard his home.
Once someone is injured, morale and loyalty will drop rapidly.
Taking advantage of this time, Zheng Cheng went around the entire area covered by black fog.
The home is located in the middle of a hillside, surrounded by low hills, which makes it easier for him to guard.
Moreover, at the edge of the black fog on the south side of his home , he also heard the sound of flowing water, perhaps there was a river there.
On the west side, there is a dense forest.
Zhang San and ten other laborers were all there cutting trees and searching for food.
The front of the home is the north.
As for the east, there is nothing.
The entire home is not large, about 10,000 square meters, which is roughly equivalent to 1.5 football fields.
After the reconnaissance, Zheng Cheng came to the center of the home and activated the central radar life monitoring technique.
In an instant, a large 3D map appeared in his mind.
The area covers an area of three kilometers in radius!
After seeing the map in his mind clearly, Zheng Cheng's pupils shrank slightly: "This is..."
On the map, the area where Zheng Cheng is standing is green.
Within a radius of dozens of kilometers, there were densely packed scarlet light spots!!!
