power ups
It was three hours later when I was kicked out of the side quest.
Outside, it was dusk on the sixteenth day of the frozen snowfield. A group of people walked out of the city gate tiredly, and the whole team looked like they had rolled in water.
It turns out that the mission details had already reminded us that this would happen ten years after the apocalypse.
After ten years, both the people in Edison's building and the people in Tesla's building had died due to lack of food.
What the hungry people encounter is nothing more than a "soul" or "magnetic field" that exists due to dark matter.
Ye Miaomiao found Zhang Pei's diary and realized that these people all had the purest original intention - to dispel the darkness. It was just that their ideologies diverged and they eventually became more extreme.
However, relying on the power of a single building, it is impossible to leave the High Energy Theater, and the two buildings must cooperate.
After a thousand attempts to open the door, Ye Miaomiao, the first player to discover the mission, arrived.
According to the quest in Zhang Pei's diary, she could unite the forces of the two buildings. However, upon hearing that they had no food to eat, the farming player became terrified and rushed out in a hurry to get home for dinner.
Ye Miaomiao humbly learned the experience of completing the side quests, and then opened the reward panel.
Congratulations, you've completed the side quest! The rewards have been successfully sent to your backpack. You've received 6,000 points, the 12-volume Steam Generator Series, and two Light Believers (Lucos and Tamra).
Congratulations on reaching the ending and obtaining the achievement:
Super Speedrunner: A speedrunner who skips eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating, going from birth to death with just a blink of an eye. Gain a permanent bonus: Agility +30 (all members)
Super Thick Armor: You finish a dungeon without losing a single drop of health. Receive a permanent bonus: HP +20 (for all members)
Archer Mastery: Aim from start to finish. Obtain special item: Magic Quiver.
A Bright Road to Death (Thanks from Tesla): If you encounter Tesla, you will definitely defeat him. Obtain special item: Tesla's two-handed weapon.
Ye Miaomiao burst into tears of joy. Having obtained a generator set, the territory could finally enter the electrical age! Two unfamiliar NPCs stood before her, but Ye Miaomiao ignored them and looked at her achievement first.
The first two achievements are for enhancing all members, gaining a total of 30 points of agility bonus and 20 points of health. You know, completing a "daily guard mission" only adds two or three points!
With so many additions at once, I can only say that it is worthy of being an Electric Age side quest.
"Thirty agility points! I now have a 20% chance of dodging arrow attacks! Running speed is 100m/8s. Holy shit! Am I Usain Bolt?"
"real!"
"I feel so light, is that a word you can say? I weigh 180 kilograms, but now I feel like I can fly with a single gust of wind."
The team members cheered, and Ye Miaomiao smiled and looked at the last two achievements——
Magic quiver and Tesla's weapons.
The magic quiver is a leather barrel, finely inlaid with several sparkling magic stones and engraved with ancient patterns, giving it a sense of Western fantasy.
Its magic stone can replicate the arrows placed in the owner's quiver, providing an unlimited supply of ammunition.
Ye Miaomiao: “!” Love it.
Infinite resources, but magic is so unreasonable. She hated that humans in Civilization couldn't develop a magic technology tree, otherwise she would have been stuck in this fantasy world forever.
As for Tesla's weapons...
"This is..." At this time, the tired but excited team members looked over and looked at the weapon in Ye Miaomiao's hand in disbelief: "What did he use just now?"
Tesla's weapons are no strangers to the hungry people, because he used these two laser beam launchers to kill a level five dark beast.
The team members looked at the two launchers with envy.
This is real high-tech. Compared with the inferior cannons, it is like the primitive people's wooden spears meeting the modern people's hot weapons.
Besides, even if you haven't seen Star Wars, you've probably heard of lightsabers. They're legendary laser weapons!
"I'll go back and test the values. Now that we have a prototype, maybe we can figure something out."
Ye Miaomiao retracted her weapon.
After entering the dungeon, everyone had barely slept all day. The dry food they had eaten was no match for hot meals, and they were now both hungry and sleepy. Ye Miaomiao quickly dismissed them after giving them overtime pay and giving everyone a day off.
She bought a roujiamo on the roadside and walked quickly towards the research institute.
The researcher looked haggard, but with his big, energetic eyes, he stared at the series of books in Ye Miaomiao's hand like a starving ghost.
Ye Miaomiao: "..." So exploiting an NPC would also make one feel guilty? She was really afraid that this NPC would die in front of her.
Ye Miaomiao quickly pushed out the two believers of light behind him.
Luthers and Tamra are both clones of researchers from S Corporation. They only retain their original owners' memories of "photoelectric" technology.
However, their basic attributes such as intelligence are not low, and they have great room for development.
"Now that we have the second and third researchers to share the work, you must get eight hours of sleep every day to ensure sustainable development."
The NPC loaded these words into the program, and Ye Miaomiao felt at ease to place the series of books in front of the three people.
"Lord, this book contains sufficient information. We no longer need to research steam generators," the researcher replied after a moment. "However, based on this, I have discovered several technologies that can be further developed."
Ye Miaomiao listened attentively.
"First, the power grid. Steam generators generate a lot of noise. Once the research is successful, you can build the units in remote locations and connect them to the power grid."
"Second, electrical safety tips. After successful research, you can place: Basic Electrical Safety Devices; Available careers: Electrician."
"..., and other eight areas of basic research."
Ye Miaomiao listened numbly and said, "Study all of it."
However, after experiencing a whole day of eternal night, Ye Miaomiao still felt a little scared. She asked about the electric light and learned that it was a technology known to believers of light.
All basic light technologies have been unlocked.
Currently, most of the territory's lighting relies on torches, wasting countless amounts of wood every day. Using electric lights would save a lot of resources.
But it's getting late now.
After Ye Miaomiao finished adding a batch of lights and wires to the primary factory, she finished her last bite of her roujiamo (a steamed bun). She contacted a technician who knew about electric heating and reported to the research institute. She also posted an electrician job posting and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up the next day, it was already afternoon.
Ye Miaomiao shook her heavy head and sat up. Seeing that it was already dark, she thought she had only slept for a while.
Turning on the light screen, Ye Miaomiao was a little confused when she saw the increased number of "electric lights" in the warehouse and a series of messages from the research institute.
How come in just a short time, all the electricians have signed up and the electric heaters have been researched?
I looked up at the date and realized that a whole day had passed.
Basic research has been completed in two areas, and we can now build power grids and train electricians.
There is a large open space on the hilly plain, which is far away from residential areas but close to where electricity is needed. Ye Miaomiao built the power plant on the plain.
There's an NPC Electrician, and five other basic electricians, including Abel, who specializes in electric heating. They're responsible for power generation equipment, everyday appliances, and circuit malfunctions.
Several electric wires were pulled to various territories, and then light bulbs and electric heaters were installed in every household.
When night falls, the territory is already brightly lit.
Tonight feels like a carnival.
There was a lively celebration outside. Philip, who was in the Golden Light Hotel, looked out the window at the brightly lit central territory from afar, feeling very confused.
What candlelight is so bright that it can illuminate the entire territory?
Charles had gone out to buy food earlier and for some reason had not returned yet. No one could help him understand why, and he never imagined that these were all electric lights.
"Sir, this is the dinner Mr. Charles ordered for you." There was a knock on the door and a hotel staff member pushed a cart.
On the train was a plate of sirloin steak garnished with two roasted cherry tomatoes, and a plate of two sandwiches—a small amount that made them stand out exquisitely. Next to the main course was a small piece of bread with corn soup and a glass of rich fruit wine, all placed on the table by the window.
Philip felt like he had come home.
Philip knew from the moment he was born that he didn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. He was born a nobleman, and ordinary people worked for him, farming, raising livestock, etc., and he only needed to stretch out his hands.
It was not until the end of the world did he realize that everyone was just an ordinary person in the face of disaster. This realization made Philip panic. He could not believe it and could not face it.
Until now, he has returned to the place he is familiar with.
The rich food was paired with the bright lights and nightlife outside the window, and the hotel sheets were changed every day. Although there were not many stylish buildings, it made him feel the calm before the end of the world.
"Knock knock knock." There was another knock on the door.
"Hello, we're here to install the lights and heaters." One of the men came carrying a ladder, the other carrying a backpack. They were followed by hotel staff to prove they weren't scammers.
Philip was surprised. Electricity?
The two of them completed the installation quickly.
Ye Miaomiao has successfully installed the power grid, and these small furniture can be successfully used after being installed and connected to the wires.
The installation work for several pieces of land was cumbersome, and Ye Miaomiao could no longer do it herself as she had done before when installing the glass windows, so she simply handed it over to the newly hired electrician.
With a few clicks, the light came on and off.
The electricians placed special "recycling" signs on their torches and smiled at Philip. "If you have any problems with your lights or heaters, please report them to the front desk at any time. Our office is at the electrical factory on the hilly plain, so you can report there."
"Electricity costs much less than torches and fireplaces. Not using the fireplace will reduce your room rate by 40 points per month. However, the lord said that it is recommended that everyone turn on the fireplace and electric heat at the same time, especially after the next drop in temperature."
After saying this, the electrician left.
Philip turned on the light in a daze, and the whole room instantly became bright. Under the bright light, he realized belatedly that the celebration in the Hungry Hungry Center was because the territory had electricity.
power ups?
Power on! There's electricity!
An idea instantly rushed into his mind: He must stay here, this is where he belongs! All the previous conflicts of interest and the need to maintain his noble status and move in high-profile were instantly thrown behind his mind.
He still had a lot of assets, and with these and his servants, he would rather give up his princely status than get rid of those nobles who knew nothing.
With servants doing the hard work, he only needed to maintain his current living conditions. Not to mention the greater convenience brought by electricity!
He must be one step ahead of the self-proclaimed clever Duke Feng. That idiot probably doesn't even know that this is the first place in the entire game with electricity!
This is the real first territory, and only here can we truly survive the end of the world in peace.
Thinking of this, a surge of joy rushed into Philip's head. He could hardly breathe, and the fruit wine in his mouth became sweeter and more flavorful.
