Chapter 213 Level 6: Heavy Fortress on Land, Sea and Air
Xu Qingqiang is only a three-star warden now, and there are not enough vacancies for wardens to be allocated.
However, under Wei Huan's suppression, these criminals dared not make trouble. Sitting high on the throne of bones, he was like a prison warden. Just a glance from him and these criminals would obediently put away all their anger.
Mu Zhong's work also went smoothly.
He said, "Major Xu will soon be promoted to four-star warden. There will be enough vacancies by then, so you can wait a little longer."
Who dares to say no?
Wei Huan was sitting next to them, and there were so many high-level fighters surrounding them. If they dared to say "no", these people would throw him out of the car.
However, because of the temporary stay in the car, they finally saw how fast Wei Huan opened the treasure chest.
After plowing the fields for thousands of miles, he hardly missed any treasure chests, and those below silver level were not rare to open.
They were lucky and soon encountered a golden ruin on the island. It happened to be a survivor environment, so Wei Huan arranged for the undead to teleport them to the battlefield of the BOSS battle to let them understand the difference between having an "anchor point" and not having an "anchor point".
Of course, what these criminal sequences saw was not only that the boss battle would become easier with the anchor point, but the key was the strength of Wei Huan's chariot.
After Wei Huan's continuous battles to open treasure chests, everyone in the main team changed into a large number of high-end equipment. Gold equipment was the basis, and some people even wore platinum equipment.
The survivors of this world are spiritual in nature, and their physical combat power is not very strong. When they met the main force of Wei Huanche, they were beaten down. Wei Huan's undead didn't even have time to make a move, and the battle was over.
This is a gold-level monster, right?
Is it so easy to kill?
After Xu Qingqiang ate this gold-level survivor, he frowned and said to the Demon Eye Lord who descended from Wei Huan’s vision: “No, it’s not enough.”
Wei Huan understood.
The Endless Prison should have no upper limit, but upgrading is not easy. If Xu Qingqiang wants to reach level 999, he may have to eat up the entire Challenge World.
"But it will be soon." Xu Qingqiang felt it and continued.
Wei Huan was no longer picky about silver treasure chests. He would open any he found and leave them all for Xu Qingqiang to eat.
Finally, after this group of criminals slept on the ground in the square for two days, Xu Qingqiang was promoted to a [Four-Star Warden].
A four-star warden can release 155 warden positions. After deducting the warden positions given out before, there are still 125 vacancies left.
Criminals who qualify as warden can obtain the key to enter and exit the endless prison, and can also get a prison of their own.
By eating, they can capture the souls of those lives and put them into prison, and then they can get a proportional increase according to the level of their prison.
The rank of the warden can change, but only superiors can appoint subordinates.
So when Xu Qingqiang was promoted to a five-star warden again, they had to come to Xu Qingqiang for reassignment.
As for whether or not to make additional payments at that time, that is something Mu Dehao needs to worry about.
Xu Qingqiang is not a person who likes business management. He gets a headache when he sees these things. He only likes eating and fighting. The reason he likes fighting is that he can eat a lot of good things, such as black brains... so delicious!
Two days after the criminals in the car left, an exciting piece of news spread throughout the area.
"The level six tank upgrade is complete!" There was a hint of excitement in the butler AI's tone.
Wei Huan was already waiting at the driver's seat when the upgrade was only 8% complete.
Because the entire vehicle was being upgraded, the tank was filled with white fog for three full days.
At this moment, the white mist dissipated, revealing the full picture of the sixth-level tank: a heavy fortress for land, sea and air.
First of all, the cab is of course larger.
Previously the cab could accommodate 20 people, but now it can accommodate 100 people.
However, this time the cab is divided into four areas.
[Main driver's cab] is at the front, similar to a trapezoid, wide on the outside and narrow on the inside. The arrangement of the driving seats inside is similar to that of a level 5 vehicle, and the number of people is also 20.
The [port cab] and [starboard cab] are naturally on the left and right sides and do not participate in the driving of the main vehicle, but can be split into two separate tanks. The combat capability is almost equivalent to that of the main vehicle. They can participate in combat and conduct reconnaissance.
Each side can accommodate 30 people, making it a true escort vehicle. In addition, because the internal space of the tank has a strong compression capability, the two sides of the tank are small in size and can enter most ruins for combat.
It is definitely a huge improvement for ruins development.
After all, remote combat is possible.
The remaining part of the driving area is of course the [commander's cabin], the most important area and the "brain" of the vehicle.
Wei Huan has his own private room, which is right behind the main cab, and is located in the middle of the entire cab. However, the interior design is clever, and he doesn't feel the stuffiness of being in a closed area when he sits inside.
On the contrary, the various projection screens in front of him allow him to see the scenery outside the car as if he were at the front of the vehicle, just as if he was still a beginner, sitting in front of the windshield and driving.
The interior space of the commander's cabin is about 100 square meters. There is an automatic door at the back that can be adjusted to one side. He can see the scene behind him by turning his seat, but people outside cannot see him.
Outside is a nearly fan-shaped combat meeting room.
This place can accommodate more than a hundred staff officers to plan and advise him, and pre-war and post-war meetings can be held directly here. If there is anything, people can be called to the commander's room for private discussions. The functions are so complete that there is no room for error.
Coming out of the cab, of course, it's still the square.
The square was further expanded, but not to such an extent that it seemed wasteful.
After all, after upgrading to level six tanks, the vehicle can accommodate 1,001 crew members.
A thousand people living in a car require a lot of space to move around.
Therefore, the biggest change that makes people feel at first glance is that the top floor has suddenly become higher, to the extent that when looking up, one needs to squint to see the lights on the ceiling.
The building is 30 stories high.
Circular buildings surround the square. Below the square, there are not only many shops but also many people.
The crew members who are usually very well-behaved couldn't help but walk out the door to check the changes after the upgrade. They were so excited that they couldn't control their voices and the sound of conversation was everywhere.
"30th floor!"
"When I came out, it directly showed 26 floors. So it grew from the bottom up?"
“It’s becoming more and more grand and lively.”
"I heard that a level 6 vehicle can accommodate a thousand people. I wonder who will get on it?"
"This is too fast! I haven't even warmed up in my Level 5 car yet, and I'm already in a Level 6 car."
"Hahaha, maybe you'll be living in a level 7 car before you even get comfortable in your level 6 car."
"I believe what you said. Boss Wei has this ability. You don't even know how to open boxes these days. I'm scared. Is this still challenging the world? Is this buying goods for free?"
Similar discussions were heard everywhere, and the crew's words were filled with respect for Wei Huan and their gratitude for being able to step onto this train.
Wei Huan did not disturb them. He summoned his "grandsons" and stepped on its back shell. He bypassed the place where everyone was gathered and took Mu Zhong to other places.
After upgrading this chariot, how could Mu Zhong be absent from the joy of "opening a treasure chest".
Wei Huan also summoned a facehugger for Mu Zhong. As the interior of the chariot became larger, moving around became more and more time-consuming. At the moment, the facehugger, which could move at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour, was obviously the most suitable choice.
However, Mu Zhong also said, "I'll have the veterans develop some balance bikes or in-car light rails. Everyone has their own things to do, so don't waste time on things like rushing."
Wei Huan nodded.
This is only a level 6 vehicle. I heard that after the level 7 vehicle becomes a war fortress, it can accommodate 10,000 people and its interior is as big as five aircraft carriers. It is indeed necessary to deal with the internal transportation problem.
But speaking of "veterans," Wei Huan thought of something else. He asked Mu Zhong, "Is the pilot about to advance?"
"I feel like I'm getting faster. I've been learning pilot knowledge from veterans lately, and I've been training at the pilot's career temple at night. It's really speeding up a lot, and I might advance at any time."
"The emergence of the third-level mecha will greatly enhance the overall strength of humanity."
"That's right. Commander Mu is extremely anxious but doesn't dare to rush me because your side is equally important."
Wei Huan nodded. It was not important that he belittled himself. If he was not strong enough, humans would not have reached the sixth-level world so quickly. Now, if he did not want to stabilize himself, it would be no problem for him to go to the sixth-level world.
Therefore, no matter what Mu Zhong arranged, Wei Huan didn't want to influence him. It was fine with any plan. He believed that Mu Zhong was more thoughtful than he thought.
As they were talking, the two of them turned into a door.
If you pay attention, you will find that there are streams of light on the ground as they come here. It is the AI butler who is leading the way and taking them to the energy room and armory first according to the order.
These two places are also the top priorities of the tank. As a tank commander, you must know their locations and basic environment.
When they arrived at the energy room, Wei Huan saw the energy ball that looked like a big black iron ball protected by layers of protection. He was stunned for a moment and then looked at Mu Zhong.
Mu nodded: "Yes, the things I brought back should be the parts of the sixth-level tank."
This has to start from when Mu Zhong awakened his dual talents: pilot, and they entered the third-level world to explore the technological ruins.
At that time, when Wei Huan entered the cab, he saw the size of the current level six tank. Then Mu Zhong moved the energy core out of the energy room, which was of course the energy source of the level six vehicle.
Energy is like an engine.
Under the influence of the veterans, all the drivers on the car gave up their dreams of becoming mecha pilots.
Of course, it is also because Mu Zhong, the "driver leader" who owns a driver training ground, is of too low a level.
The veteran is a typical science and engineering guy. Relying on the talent bonus of the driver, he has thoroughly studied many of the level 6 tank materials brought back by Mu Zhong.
If it weren't for the lack of raw materials and the fact that Wei Huan's chariot was upgraded so quickly, the veteran could probably have built a level 6 chariot by hand without having to bother him.
Of course, it is definitely not as good as what the system gives.
However, just like a level five mecha technician can make a mecha by hand, it is still possible to spend a long time making a customized high-end mecha.
Recently, with the assistance of a group of science and engineering experts on the car, the veteran created a mecha with a combat capability that can reach Sequence Four.
The biggest advantage of this mecha is not that it is stronger than mass-produced ones, but that the skills it has fully mastered in challenging the world can be brought into reality.
In reality, in various confrontations between humans and the Dark Beast Lords, the victorious side will obtain special resources, which can be used to create items that challenge world technology.
In short, when Wei Huan saw the "heart" of the newly upgraded tank, which was the energy reactor he often saw, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Then he said, "Are the Bluebeards a level six civilization?"
Mu Zhong said, "The survivors of the third-level world are the Bluebeard people, but there is no evidence to prove that the technological ruins also belong to the Bluebeard people."
That's true.
Wei Huan asked again: "Have you thoroughly studied this energy reactor?"
"I haven't researched it thoroughly yet, maybe 40-50 points. If it were a one-to-one replica, I think we should be able to make it, but Blue Star is short of building materials. Perhaps if we win a few more battles on the battlefield, some resources will drop."
"Do you think we should go to the big battlefield?"
"After entering the Level 6 world, there will be an opening battle, and both sides will be given a month to prepare. I think it would be better to eliminate some of the Dark Beast Lords' combat power before the opening battle."
"Random battlefield?"
"Um."
"The idea is right."
Wei Huan nodded. Actually, he had wanted to go to the big battlefield, or the random battlefield, for a long time, but the matter of upgrading the chariot had been dragging him down. He had to wait until the remaining few level seven parts were upgraded so that he could focus on killing the dark beasts.
Thinking of this, Wei Huan looked up: "Butler."
"I'm the train commander."
"Let's see which level 7 components can be upgraded?"
"Okay, Captain, we can now upgrade the level 7 balcony and level 7 vehicle hull."
"Upgrade directly."
"Okay, Captain."
After completing the conversation, those on duty at the war platform discovered that the fog had descended again.
This unusual phenomenon was quickly reported to Mu Zirui's ears. Mu Zirui understood what it was and rubbed his hands excitedly: "It's time for us to show our power remotely!"
Before the tank reaches level four, the balcony is just a balcony, just like a motorhome, and the balcony has no combat capability at all.
After reaching the level 4 terrain siege vehicle, the balcony becomes a [War Platform] with two ranged output positions, which can provide double damage, double critical strike and double attack distance for ranged units.
Level 5 [War Platform], with four output positions, damage, critical strike and distance are doubled.
Level 6 [War Platform] has eight output slots and triples the damage.
Now, the level 7 [War Platform] they are upgrading to has 30 output slots instead of 16, so the damage is naturally increased fourfold.
Anyone standing on the war platform and outputing damage remotely will fall in love with this feeling, as if they are as powerful as a god.
The key is that there is no need to be afraid of being attacked, the tanks will protect them.
However, the war platform also has a small weakness, which is that the spiritual power consumption will also increase. Although it is not four times, if you want to deal four times the damage on the level 7 war platform, you will have to consume twice the normal spiritual power.
Therefore, the long-range weapons on the tanks would often be quickly exhausted in battle, and then replaced by the next batch of long-range weapons.
But even though their legs feel weak every time they leave the war platform, the rangers are still crazy about the feeling of being on it.
Now that they know that after upgrading to level 6 vehicles, they can actually get level 7 war platforms, they are extremely happy.
Melee had tears of envy streaming down his face.
However, Wei Huan knew that although the challenge world was cruel, it was still very fair.
The shield upgraded to level seven not only improves the defense and counterattack capabilities based on the original level six shield, but also has a new function.
Melee combatants now carry special badges, which also have the ability of a protective shield. Although they are one level lower than those on the car and the number is limited, the safety of melee combatants is indeed greatly guaranteed.
However, this time, not only were there few materials for a level seven protective shield on their chariots, there were no upgrade blueprints either. It was unknown how long it would take to upgrade the shield.
[Level 7 car shell] is also a good thing.
The level 6 protective shield plus the level 7 vehicle shell cannot be broken by similar monsters in the level 5 world, and the level 7 war platform can seize the opportunity to counterattack.
Upgrading a level 7 vehicle takes longer, even if it's just parts, it still takes three days.
Nothing happened during the three days or so, so they continued to move forward, fighting when they needed to and getting familiar with the interior of the car when they needed to, with no thought of going back to add more members.
After all, the number of people added to the chariots this time was not a few dozen, but nine hundred, which is not a small number no matter how you put it.
Currently, those who can come to the level five world are all talents from various legions. There are not enough people on their own, so it is impossible to happily cram people into Wei Huan's car like a level five car.
This includes Mu Dehao. He is in charge of the development of the entire Qinglong pioneering army in the challenge world. The materials obtained and the talents trained are all sent to the battlefield. Every stitch and thread has a source. Even if more resources are tilted towards Wei Huan, he cannot neglect his own job and ignore the battlefield.
For the above reasons, even if Wei Huan went back, there would be nothing to worry about, so it would be better for him to continue collecting supplies outside.
Moreover, he had promised Commander Mu that he would find an island in the uninhabited area suitable for the Qinglong Army to build a city, and he must keep his word.
In fact, there are islands along the way that are suitable for the Qinglong Army to build a city, but they are all smaller than the Five-Star Island. Wei Huan thought that if Daxia wanted to build a city, it had to be big. The Qinglong Army was going deep into the uninhabited area, so it would not be excessive to choose the most perfect island.
As for building a city deep in uninhabited areas, is there any danger?
Of course not.
Because challenging the world is not about leveling up and killing monsters as you think. It is not the case that the monsters get stronger the further you go. For example, in the Xuanwu City that has just entered the fifth-level world, it is possible that high-level monsters and royal tribes will be refreshed.
So the fact that humans can build cities in uninhabited areas is certainly not a risky move, but rather it provides humans with a larger and safer area for exploration. Exploration centered on that island is a mission that can be completed in three to five days. The uninhabited area is no longer an uninhabited area.
Since he couldn't find it right away, Wei Huan didn't force it, as he had a lot of things to do right now.
And now what he, or the entire chariot, is most interested in is the first deployment of the chariots on both sides.
In the past few days, Mu Zhong led the crew to carry out combat force allocation and combat training, and today they discovered a golden treasure chest.
Mu Zhong believed that the chariots on both sides could try to fight, which made the crew members on the chariots who were not strong enough to go on the mission very happy.
For example, Zhou Yong and Lin Xu, although they also practiced very hard, due to their talent and the short time they had entered the challenge world, especially as melee professions, they could be assigned fewer and fewer tasks in the current level five world, and now they could only do some logistical work in the car.
It’s not that the logistics work is bad, but since they are willing to go to the front line and are trusted by Wei Huan, it is perfect for them to participate in the operations of the chariots on both sides.
While he was thinking, the tanks on both sides separated from the main vehicle and moved independently. Wei Huan also saw their appearance through the projection screen inside the vehicle.
They are like two submarines, in the shape of water drops, with big heads and small butts. Their color is also white because Wei Huan's chariot is primary white.
However, its size is much smaller than a submarine. The thickest part of the front of the vehicle is only a little over half a meter in diameter, and its length is only 2.5 meters. When flying in the air, it looks like two fired cannonballs.
Every time he saw the chariots on both sides, Wei Huan would marvel at the power of the law of space. How could such a large space, with driver's seats for thirty people, be crammed into this small car?
To put it bluntly, even the coffin is too small.
But don’t be fooled by the small size of the tanks on both sides, their combat effectiveness is not weak.
The speed, defense, attack, etc. are almost the same as the main vehicle, except that it does not have as large a living space as the main vehicle, and does not have a mecha studio and energy center. In addition, there are only two war platforms, and the combat endurance is only 5 days. It must return to the main vehicle to recharge, and it cannot complete energy replenishment by itself.
In non-combat mode, the battery life will be longer.
Wei Huan stared at the chariots on both sides, which were like two cannonballs, leaving the chariots and heading towards the island ahead.
There is a sign of a golden treasure chest on the island. Not only is there a golden-level ruin here, but there is also a royal tribe deeper in the island.
The world monsters in the fifth-level world are not those deceiving survivors.
There are mostly monsters on the islands and in the sea, including birds and fish. In addition, on the islands where dark energy gathers, there are also some dark creatures. Although there are not many undead creatures, there are some.
Wei Huan was paying attention to the battle between the chariots on both sides while observing the island.
The island without dark energy looks only slightly smaller than the Five-Star Island. Unfortunately, it does not meet Wei Huan's standards.
However, he still chose to hand the map to Mu Dehao as soon as possible. It was still up to Mu Dehao to decide where to build the city.
After a while, the battle between the chariots on both sides officially began.
In fact, chariots with two sides are better for killing royal tribes in open areas. Chariots with flying capabilities can be used for air suppression.
But Wei Huan still let the chariots on both sides go to the ruins.
It was also to test whether this type of tank could meet expectations and fight in the ruins.
"Captain," the steward AI suddenly said, "There are coordinates for a treasure trove five thousand kilometers away. Do you want to go?"
"No." Wei Huan denied it directly. He was not ready yet.
He already has 22 complete sets of treasure maps, including one relic that requires 20 fragments to synthesize.
But Wei Huan never dared to open it.
Not to mention the ruins with 20 fragments, he suspected that even if it was an underground palace with 15 fragments, Mofidi would probably find a way to find it.
While he took away two Mofidi suits in succession, it seemed that he was also in the process of removing the seal from Mofidi.
Mofidi would definitely find a way to find him again, completely remove the seal on it, and thank him for his help with death.
Wei Huan is not yet fully confident of fighting against the god-level monster.
But the butler said, "That's a treasure map with 25 fragments."
