Chapter 101 The War of Civilizations 1
[Initial supplies: One set of clothes, 1 communication terminal, 2000 universal coins.]
[Mission: Survive for 10 days.]
Current number of participants: 59
[This game: War of Civilizations]
[This bonus: Saves you from a mental breakdown once.]
[Because you are among the first survivors of the survival game, your Constitution, Strength, and Speed attributes will each receive a +3 bonus.]
[Since this is not your first time entering the game, your chance to participate in the lottery is 1. Lottery participation: Yes/No.]
Lin Xia chose to participate in the lottery.
[Congratulations on obtaining: Close-fitting Light Armor. Do you wish to wear it?]
yes.
Lin Xia touched it; the light armor was worn underneath her clothes, close-fitting, covering only her upper body. She blinked; why were the items she drew both times the same thing—life-saving items...?
[Close-fitting lightweight armor: maintains a constant temperature to protect the body from harm; exceeding its limit will cause damage.]
[Apart from game items, no other items may be used; the game account has been frozen.]
Backup successful: Prepare light armor, survival points required: 10000
Have fun playing the game, and I look forward to seeing you again.
As soon as Lin Xia opened her eyes, she saw herself standing in a crowd, lined up neatly. There were at least tens of thousands of people here.
On the opposite platform stood several people in military uniforms, one of whom was speaking in a heavy tone with disheveled clothes.
"This war is a battle for survival! The mechanical civilization's army will soon arrive in our star system..."
After listening for a while, Lin Xia understood that the technology in this world was quite advanced, and it had already reached the stage of exploring the universe and supporting space warfare.
This time, they are fighting against a mechanical civilization, and these people are reserve soldiers selected from the rear.
"Remember! You only have two days to train. Two days later, we'll meet on the battlefield!"
He left in a hurry after he finished speaking. He was replaced by a tall man who swept his sharp eyes across the room and said, "Failure means annihilation. On the battlefield, there is only death, no retreat. You are all new recruits, you don't know each other, and you have no tacit understanding. Now, I will give you a special privilege."
“You can team up with people you know well. I’ll put you in a team as appropriate to improve your teamwork.” He glanced at his wrist: “You have five minutes.”
Whether it's war or interstellar war, anyone who thinks about it knows that it's impossible for one person to easily win. And if you're with people you don't know well, you're very likely to become cannon fodder.
Lin Xia immediately stepped to the front of the line: "I am Lin Xia. Those who acknowledge me can come over."
As soon as she made a move, many others followed suit and stood up.
There are 59 people in this world, and hopefully there will be more here, so that their survival will be more secure.
As soon as she finished speaking, people began to crowd towards Lin Xia. Ji Wei, Xie Cheng, A Tong... and several other people she didn't recognize made up a total of 20 people, and they weren't all Chinese. Their expressions varied.
Ji Wei's face flushed with excitement: "Did everyone come from the ship?" Everyone nodded and looked at Lin Xia.
Lin Xia felt a little awkward and nodded, "Let's talk about it after we've divided into teams."
"Alright, time's up. Captain, register the names and send them to headquarters."
Lin Xia quickly added everyone to her contacts using the terminal on her wrist and sent the message. Several people looked at the device on her wrist in surprise, clearly curious about how Lin Xia knew how to use it, but no one dared to gossip at the moment.
Three minutes later, with a "beep", everyone received a message on their terminal, including their room number, fleet, squadron, and platoon.
"You have five minutes to go to the training ground."
Seeing someone take off running, Lin Xia glanced at the group and said, "Run." The group then started running and followed.
On the way here, Lin Xia passed by many tall trees and flowers, and she took pictures of them all.
Following the person in front, we arrived at the place. As soon as we entered, we found that it was extremely large, which must be some kind of space technology.
Everyone held their breath as they stared at the black mecha standing in the hall.
Mech! Backup required?
Backup!
[Backup successful: 1 retired mech backed up, requires 500 survival points]
[Retired Mechs: Mechs that are beyond repair and are primarily for display.]
Lin Xia's eyes sparkled, indicating that the things she could back up this time must be high-tech, but then she thought of the situation in her own world, and her eyes dimmed slightly.
I had only been standing still for a short while when I saw that the instructor from before had arrived.
"Time's up. Anyone who hasn't arrived yet, go run 20 laps." His voice was deep and serious. Immediately, someone closed the door and went out, calling on the people behind to run laps.
"The rest of you, quickly find your formations and line up to pass the test."
"The Black Tiger Fleet is coming this way!"
"This is the Third Battalion."
Upon hearing the name of their respective fleet, Lin Xia led the group over and stood behind the Third Squadron.
Having learned from past mistakes, everyone cooperated well this time and quickly lined up.
The man at the front of the unregistered fleet called out to the crowd, "Pass through quickly!"
Lin Xia looked over and saw that there were a total of four testing ports, and they were at the first one.
The first test was for strength.
Lin Xia subconsciously looked at her attributes and realized that these were the attributes she had trained, not the system attributes.
A metal instrument with a sandbag-like object hanging in front of it displays the force value when people punch it with their bare hands.
She was surprised to find that almost everyone's strength value was around 70, with some reaching 100. Hers was 130, which was quite high.
It was Lin Xia's turn. Lin Xia also wanted to try and see if the attribute values indicated by the system were accurate.
She clenched her fist and punched hard. The number displayed was 130. Everyone looked over in surprise, especially the people behind her.
They knew Lin Xia was definitely strong, but they didn't expect her to be this strong. Thinking about what would happen next, their gazes towards her suddenly became intense.
Among the people behind, Ji Wei's strength is 76, Xie Cheng's strength is 53, A Tong's strength is 88, and the others are all below 50.
The second test was speed.
Seeing that the fastest speed ahead was 90, Lin Xia, now aware of the system's accuracy, decided not to show off and kept her speed at 110.
Ji Wei's speed is 97, Xie Cheng's speed is 70, A Tong's speed is 95, and everyone else's speed is below 60.
The last test was mental strength.
[Backup successful: Backup of Mental Strength Test Pod *1, requires 1000 Survival Points]
Backup successful: 1 Strength Tester backup, 500 survival points required.
Backup successful: Backup speed tester *1, required survival points: 500
She couldn't discern the testing method from this either. She glanced at the backup area, thinking she could try testing this herself when she got back.
When it was Lin Xia's turn, she lay down in the test chamber, where a cold metal object was pressed against her head.
[Fully unleash your mental power.]
Knowing that this was not a way to cheat, Lin Xia unleashed her mental power.
[Beep, mental strength value is 117.]
Hit the red ball with all your might. One point is awarded for each ball that goes into the net. Total: 300 points.
Lin Xia hesitated for only a second before deciding to go all out. During the test, she heard many people discussing that those with high mental strength and precise control were assigned more advanced mechs.
The balls that pop out are actually multicolored; you have to pick out the red ones and then bounce them into a net that keeps changing positions.
"Extremely difficult. It seems I spoke too soon..." Lin Xia felt a little embarrassed.
