Chapter 62 Inquiry
Chapter 62 Inquiry
Huang Hong arrived at a small, private room in the mission hall. As the door closed, the noise from the outside world abruptly ceased.
Huang Hong sat on the sofa, browsing the virtual screen in front of him. He first unlocked the information about the surrounding area, which he would need sooner or later, before starting to search for information that interested him.
As expected, the information available at Dragon Fortress was far greater than that at Labyrinth Fortress, and surprisingly, there was also a lot of publicly known information here!
With D-level privileges, one can log into the fortress's online forum, and if one is willing to search, one can find a lot of useful information in the forum.
Of course, such information is often difficult to verify, and there may even be some traps involved. Whether or not to believe it depends on your own judgment.
Huang Hong found the feeling he had when he was on the World Peaceful Water Forum before, which was a fantasy version of a novel forum because the content of these forums was too much like novel stories or anecdotes.
A few hours later, after reading a bunch of random things, he finally realized what was going on when his stomach started growling.
After warning myself not to let frivolous pursuits distract me from my studies, I quickly ate something outside and then returned to my room to continue researching.
Of course, his previous efforts on the forum weren't wasted; he also obtained a lot of information related to the Paradise World...
For example, the monsters that suddenly appear in various areas of the amusement park are not actually real life forms, but projections created by the amusement park.
Huang Hong largely agrees with this, as it explains the bizarre situation where the monsters were completely obliterated after he used his decomposition ability.
For example, whenever a new area enters the Paradise World, the rules it carries will conflict with those of the Paradise World. Ultimately, there will only be two outcomes: the area will be assimilated, or the area will collapse due to the conflict of rules. Of course, the latter is extremely rare.
This reminded Huang Hong of Anyue City, and he never expected Anyue City to be so unlucky.
Huang Hong then inquired about how to escape the Paradise World, and unsurprisingly received the conclusion that he lacked sufficient permissions.
After thinking for a moment, Huang Hong asked how he could become a member of the Fortress Alliance and own his own mechanical fortress.
This was something Huang Hong had thought of after mining. With his skills, "working" was certainly good, but how could it compare to controlling the means of production and constantly making money from money?!
Huang Hong quickly received a reply, which surprised him. It was a public message stating that to truly join the Fortress Alliance and own his own mechanical fortress, three conditions had to be met...
First, the applicant must be a mechanical life form or a force possessing a mechanical life form.
Secondly, it possesses Level A access to the fortress network.
Third, it has 100 million credit points.
Once all three conditions are met, you can apply for a special grant within the fortress network, possessing a fortress core and a complete set of mechanical fortress blueprints.
Of the three conditions, the first is identity restriction; the second is contribution restriction. It is worth mentioning that by simply completing tasks, you can only obtain B-level privileges at most. To be promoted to A-level privileges, you need to complete additional promotion tasks; the third is resource restriction. Here, 100 million credit points is just the basic threshold.
Afterwards, Huang Hong reviewed the three conditions and the relevant matters concerning the special subsidies in detail.
What Huang Hong didn't know was that while he was reviewing information related to the establishment of the mechanical fortress, this information was also simultaneously uploaded to the fortress network's large database and backed up to a separate storage space.
This is normal. Although having ideas in this world does not necessarily mean taking action, it at least indicates an intention. And to have an intention and then explore it more deeply represents a certain attitude.
Under the big data search, all the information about Huang Hong began to be compiled into a separate backup. In fact, as a newbie, Huang Hong was not well known by the fortress network, but there happened to be a copy at the Labyrinth Fortress.
When Huang Hong's various actions in the Labrador Fortress were collected into the backup data, it was as if some pre-set conditions had been triggered. This data was intercepted by higher-level authorities and disappeared directly from this independent storage space.
Huang Hong was completely unaware of all this. He shut down the information related to the construction of the mechanical fortress and began searching for intelligence about the spacetime echo.
First, what is spacetime echo?
The so-called echo of time and space is essentially the reflection projected by the river of time and space into various worlds. It records the past of the world, but due to various coincidences, it reflects into the present.
Echoes of time and space are not illusions, but real phenomena. However, they are not a true record of the past. They may give rise to different histories due to some minor changes.
In any case, the spacetime echoes encountered in a complete world are generally controllable because they do not transcend the scope of this world.
But Paradise World is different. It is formed by the convergence of countless worlds. Although they may be large or small, they are equivalent to the convergence of the histories of countless worlds. The chaotic rivers of time and space overlap and overlap with each other, which not only makes it easier to create time and space echoes, but also makes the time and space echoes that are created unrecognizable.
The time-space echo that Huang Hong experienced in Anyue City is an example, and an even more extreme one at that.
Dragon Ball plus zombies—luckily, that city didn't have any martial artists who defied the rules. Otherwise, let alone Master Roshi, who could push the moon off its orbit, or Tao Pai Pai, a second-rate martial arts assassin, even if it were Ox-King or Tien Shinhan, they would probably all be defeated.
After seeing all this, Huang Hong finally understood the difference between Paradise World and Time Echo. The former seems real, but in reality, most of it is illusory, so killing monsters can only decompose them into source energy. The latter seems illusory, but in reality, it represents a certain kind of reality, so it is possible to decompose it into some extra things.
Having understood the essence of time-space echoes, the next step is paid content. Huang Hong began searching for nearby time-space echoes, preferably those related to martial arts, and even better if they were related to Dragon Ball.
Needless to say, the skills of the Turtle School are beyond question. Huang Hong really admires the flying technique of the Crane School. Moreover, judging from the Tiger School he learned, the martial arts styles in the Dragon Ball world are probably far more than those shown in the anime. If he could delve deeper, he should gain a lot.
Moreover, if Huang Hong could obtain the Saiyan's innate talent and bloodline, it would truly be a huge boost for him. Not to mention the powerful Super Saiyans, the Saiyans' inherent talent in martial arts and combat alone would greatly benefit him.
What?! Supporting pure humans?!
If it were in the previous world, Huang Hong could lie on his small bed, surfing the internet while eating crayfish takeout and drinking soda, and he could also shout out similar slogans without any scruples.
But right now, my life is the most important thing.
As long as it allows him to quickly increase his strength, he'd tolerate anything, even becoming a Saiyan, let alone something more abstract!
