Chapter 210
The characteristic of the Tianjia Zerg is that the higher the level and the stronger the female Zerg, the more beautiful their appearance.
In this exhibition hall, Lu Ze had never seen a female insect with ordinary appearance.
He blended in with the other customers and was no different from those who came for the first time. They all looked at the goods with curiosity and amazement.
He walked from the outside of the exhibition hall to the inside. At the beginning, he could still see a few A-level female insects, but as he moved towards the middle, all the ones that appeared were standard S-level... The innermost booths were about one meter above the ground, and were standard SS-level.
The red SSS-level mark on the glass of the exhibit in the middle made it the product that attracted the most attention.
Level 3S, female insects of this level were rare even in the past.
Lu Ze's position was still some distance from the center of the booth. It wasn't that he didn't want to stand closer, but as an invited guest without purchasing qualifications, he naturally had to make way for the big guys who did.
Another point is that he has no time to move forward.
[The appearance of the object bound to the 'Oath' program has been detected. The scanning system has automatically started and is currently performing a precise scan.]
His core program automatically reported a message without his active activation.
This message popped up just as he approached the central booth.
The pledge process? What is that?
Lu Ze was stunned for a moment, and quickly began to check himself. You know, before this, he didn't know that there was such an unknown program hidden in his core program.
Fortunately, after being activated, this program did not hide its own intentions.
Soon, he discovered that this program should have been installed when his core was manufactured.
Not only that, all the information about the program was presented to him in great detail.
[The 'Oath' process is a ceremony that the Lord establishes with the Empire's management after appointing them.]
[If the pledge object has not been modified, the previous pledge program will automatically bind the direct descendants of the object, and the descendants who inherit the 'pledge' will inherit the permissions of the previous generation synchronously.]
【After His Majesty the Lord left, the oath process fell into a dormant state.】
[After the return of His Majesty the Overlord and the activation of the Oath Program, this program will be used to find the owner of the Oath. When you are near the owner of the Oath, the program will automatically send you a reminder...]
When Lu Ze saw this, he saw a message from A0 at the end.
[Lu Ze, after you leave Tianyun Star, you will have the opportunity to encounter the owners of these oaths. In addition to the tasks assigned by His Majesty, you also have a task, which is to find them and determine whether they are qualified to inherit the 'oath'.]
If not, please record it and wait for your decision.
[If, after observation, you find they are eligible to inherit and their situation is extremely difficult, you can provide appropriate assistance...]
The Zerg on Tianyun Star are enough for A0 to have an understanding of the current situation of the Zerg outside Tianyun Star, so it came up with two different results after calculation.
Lu Ze's gaze fell on the female insect on the central exhibition stand, who lowered her head and allowed herself to be examined.
So this is the female insect that A0 mentioned, who inherited the 'oath' of a certain archon ten thousand years ago. Her potential level and current strength seem impeccable, better than A0 expected.
This situation is really too bad.
It’s better not to meet than to meet in such an occasion.
Lu Ze knew very well that it was impossible for him to take this female insect, who was the focus of everyone's attention, out of the stage without alerting others... not to mention that this was just a virtual world.
The female insect was actually in a place where one couldn't just rush in and rescue the insects.
What's more, he didn't come here to save anyone this time.
There are so many Zergs here. Are we going to save only one and ignore the others?
Lu Ze stood there without making any movement.
However, changes have taken place at the booth.
The central exhibition stand was very spacious, and even with a female insect tied to the central pillar, it was still nearly a hundred square meters.
The displays that originally surrounded it suddenly disappeared, leaving only the 3s female insect in the center.
A voice appeared.
Then a young male elf with an elf appearance and long limbs appeared beside the booth.
"Everyone, this Level 3S female insect you see now is the grand finale exhibit of this expo."
This should be someone from the Expo official.
After appearing, he behaved gracefully and introduced the exhibits behind him to everyone with a smile.
"You know, even at our expo, we haven't seen a level 3s female insect for several years."
"The Zerg's combat power is well-known across the interstellar world. It goes without saying that everyone knows it."
"As everyone knows, since the decline of the Tianjia Zerg, high-level Zerg have become increasingly rare. Among them, female Zerg above S-rank only appear at the Starlight Expo, held every five years."
"Enough of the nonsense, let's see for ourselves the combat power of this female insect."
The host said as he pressed the floating button on the screen at hand.
Almost at the same time, a prompt sounded in Lu Ze's ears.
[A battle is about to begin. To avoid accidental injuries, the current state will be locked in [Unattackable, Untouchable] mode.]
Lu Ze found that his state changed from solid to transparent smoke. In this state, he could easily penetrate objects and be penetrated.
【Movie viewing mode is on.】
"This female insect's combat power ranks among the top three even among the 3S-level female insects sold at the expo."
"Next, I will remove all his restrictions so that everyone can observe his strength up close."
In the virtual world, the inhibitors on the body function similarly to those in reality, and basically these Zerg exhibits also have them on their real bodies.
Logically, there is no need to impose strength restrictions in the virtual world.
But if you want to know why they do this, it is actually very simple. It is nothing more than suppressing their strength in reality to prevent them from causing trouble if they are not suppressed in reality.
Lu Ze had heard Wan Xing mention it when he was asking Wan Xing for information.
It is said that even under the supervision of a level five or six civilization, it seemed to have caused quite a stir.
It was just because it was suppressed that no trouble occurred, and the news that spread was regarded as groundless.
——After all, if the Zerg, who are like stray dogs and can only entertain the public, can still cause trouble under the suppression of the sixth-level civilization, it will make some civilizations uneasy.
The surrounding illusion changed, and Lu Ze found that his vision had turned into a bird's-eye view.
Below, the female insect, which has full strength after the restrictions are released, faces a huge star beast.
"We have reproduced this extinct tusk beast 100% according to the original data. We have not only reproduced its appearance, but also its strength in its heyday."
"We can say that we brought it back to life in the virtual world."
The Fanged Beast, extinct for over 10,000 years, belonged to a race that once possessed low intelligence and a very primitive level of civilization.
This race is very small, with only tens of millions of people on the entire planet.
This race of creatures has thick skin and can use star power. With their huge size and special abilities derived from star power, even a fifth-level strongman would not dare to guarantee victory without any injuries in a one-on-one fight.
However, when facing attacks falling from outside the atmosphere, they no longer have this advantage, and their large bodies become the best targets.
Later, ninety-nine percent of the creatures of this race died on their planet, and only a few individuals, after being pushed to the extreme, evolved the ability to live in the universe.
However, even so, most of them can only float in space for their entire lives, becoming beings with no fixed place to live and can only drift around in space.
Don’t ask why Lu Ze knows this race so well. Back then, in the Milky Way, it was a fight between everyone, and some low-level civilizations became cannon fodder because of their location and other reasons. It was also a helpless thing.
The Tianjia civilization reserved respect for its opponents towards the civilizations destroyed by its own civilization, and after completely accepting them, they all placed them in the planetary civilization collection hall.
If the Tianjia civilization hadn't fallen to its current state of decline, this collection would probably have been flooded with visitors every day... But now? It would have been destroyed long ago.
Judging only from strength, the Fanged Beast is far stronger than the female insect below.
Level 3s female insects also need to grow, but they have just undergone their first evolution and are far from their peak.
Even though we are in a virtual world now, we are not completely immune to the damage we receive and it will still be reflected back to the real body.
The only advantage is probably that the Fanged Beast has low mental strength and cannot harm the female insect at the mental level.
Probably because of the idea of not damaging the goods.
The battle below begins.
Like other visitors, Lu Ze was paying attention to the battle situation on the field.
"Don't worry, everyone. The injuries he sustained are all within reasonable limits and will definitely not affect his value."
"Having only completed the first evolution, yet already possessing this much speed and power, it's definitely worth the money."
The host changes his role and becomes a commentator.
"The fangs of the tusk beast can condense star power, making it indestructible, and its hardness is comparable to that of Transcendent A-grade alloy."
"The speed of a Level 3S female insect has reached its limit. The star power gathered on its wings can easily cut through nearby objects..."
This is a spectator match, and the outcome can be predicted without even seeing the ending.
The winners in the end are of course the products that the expo is proud of.
It is true that the Fanged Beasts are very powerful, but they are controlled by AI after all, not to mention that they were defeated by the Zerg in the past.
One more time...
When the 3s female insect fights to exchange injuries and gives it her all, it is easier to kill the opponent than to win.
Very realistic blood gushed out from the wound. The difference in body size made the female insect almost covered in blood from head to toe, and the blood dripped onto the ground.
Lu Ze's eyelids moved slightly. The degree of alienation of this female insect was higher than he had originally estimated.
The insect body is 40% alienated, which is very rare in the first stage of evolution - almost nothing.
However, this also indirectly proves that the host did not lie and is indeed very excellent.
Even though the Tianjia Zerg have an appearance that is infinitely similar to that of humans, they are ultimately evolved from "insects". Even after tens of thousands of years, they still retain the characteristics of insects.
However, under normal circumstances, this insect transformation will not show up.
Female insects will show alienation during battle. Although they will still have some anthropomorphic features after being fully alienated, their wings, claws, and skeletons will tend to resemble those of insects.
The male insects' mimicry is the most perfect; even if they do show signs of abnormality, it is only an extra pair of antennae and a tail.
Moreover, compared to female insects who are more likely to become alienated during fighting, male insects tend to become alienated during reproduction.
The host could see the customer's offer, and he only heard him calling out higher and higher prices with an increasingly sincere smile on his face. It was conceivable that this time the product was probably sold at a very satisfactory price.
Lu Ze only looked at it for a while and then stopped reading.
The purpose of his visit had been achieved, and the crawler program had also transmitted a lot of information. The next step was to wait until he left to conduct an on-site inspection.
The bidding in the exhibition area is relatively transparent. The numbers on the glass booth keep jumping, and when a number does not change for five minutes, it will disappear from the venue.
This means it has been purchased.
Lu Ze didn't go to the auction area. According to the introduction, there were B-level and a small number of A-level female insects, and like the female insects here, they had all completed their first evolution.
However, their level and strength were not as good as those of the female insects, so they did not get a separate number to bid for, but were sold in groups of five.
As for the price... I can only say that even if it's a package price of five, it's enough to buy hundreds of adult female insects on the black market.
