Li Xing was very interested in this bracelet and imdiately started researching its functions upon acquiring it.
"The life status detection gives a sense of black technology, but it's only shocking at first; upon closer thought, you'll realize that advanced fitness trackers on Earth have similar effects."
"This is just an upgrade to certain features."
Li Xing raised the perpetual motion cara with one hand, aid it at his arm, and analyzed: "The so-called 'card point' should be so universal currency in Eternal Civilization, akin to the status of the US Dollar in the United States or the yen in Japan."
"As for the difference..."
"There's simply no physical dium to carry it."
"The advantage of this economic structure is that no matter what you do, it's very efficient and convenient, and it makes it easy to restrict criminals."
"The downside is that it places a high demand on network technology, and if a non-official civilian hacker genius erges, it can lead to big problems."
"My intelligence level and knowledge reserve are insufficient, so I can only provide so surface analysis."
"After saying so much, my conclusion is..."
"The bracelet given to us by the Extrely Effective Monarch is a stripped-down version!"
"Previously captured Longevity Star People ntioned that their protective clothing all have pain shielding devices, data collection attachnts, and auxiliary thinking sub-brains and other black technologies."
"Also, the 'card points' in these bracelets probably aren't many, possibly only enough to support a one-way 'teleportation'."
As he said this, Li Xing scratched his head and said sheepishly: "That's all."
"I tend to view things from a shallow perspective, so if you ask to say more, I can't think of anything."
Ma Ran gave him an approving look: "Being willing to think and actively analyze the situation is a comndable trait."
"Keep it up."
Li Xing, receiving praise, laughed and expressed that he would continue to strive, fight bravely, and create new brilliance.
Next to him, Su Qiangwei just snorted lightly.
Getting caught in the crossfire without doing anything.
She dared to vouch with her conscience that what Ma Ran said just now was definitely an indirect jab at her!
Having gone through life and death together so many tis, who doesn't know each other here?
Ma Ran didn't even need to speak; just a look, and she knew what he wanted to say.
"Li Xing has already said quite a bit, I'll just add a little more."
Ma Ran completely ignored Su Qiangwei's reaction and continued speaking on his own: "These bracelets have monitoring and detonation chanisms."
Li Xing and Wu Di's pupils contracted, and they simultaneously grabbed their bracelets, trying to remove them.
But their efforts were in vain.
After all, they were just flesh and blood, not like the freaky Mutants; when it cos to sheer hardness, they can't compare to these black technology creations.
The Extrely Effective Monarch set up ans and backdoors, not intending for them to easily remove these things.
The pure white full coverage protective clothing on them was just an illusion created by the advanced Disguise Card.
In essence, it didn't have all the functions of protective clothing and naturally couldn't withstand explosions.
"No need to worry too much."
Ma Ran shook his right hand with the bracelet: "After arriving at the Consciousness Transmission Factory, I'll help you dismantle them."
"Now, let's mainly discuss the upcoming tactical arrangents."
Two maps were spread out in front of everyone.
Li Xing aid the lens at the maps, glanced at them, and felt dizzy and a tingling scalp, getting goosebumps all over.
The map of Earth, at least, has different shapes and colors, with its own mory points.
The Eternal Civilization Main Base here...
Must have been revamped by a late-stage perfectionist!
Looking around, dozens of dense squares, perfectly balanced, without a single discrepancy, no area was too small or too large.
No mory points whatsoever!
Wu Di also looked over curiously, his facial muscles stiffening, and the curiosity in his eyes disappeared instantly.
Who would want to look at this kind of thing!
It's practically a brain cell killer!
Normal humans couldn't possibly understand it, right?
After all, Wu Di passed the Academic Ability test and was admitted to Grass Hut Academy with flying colors; his intellect surpasses that of the vast majority of humans on Earth.
But his reaction to seeing this map wasn't much better than Li Xing's.
"Quiet!"
Su Qiangwei raised her volu slightly: "What Ma Ran is going to say next is important and concerns your lives."
"No interruptions, just listen carefully."
The usually laid-back girl, speaking at crucial monts, still carries so weight.
Although instinctively resisting the map and bracelet, Wu Di and Li Xing imdiately quieted down, bracing themselves, and listening patiently to Ma Ran's tactical arrangents.
Five minutes later.
"That's basically it."
Ma Ran said, stuffing the maps into Wu Di's hands: "So these two maps are for you to keep."
"It doesn't matter if you can't rember everything, as long as you have a concept in your mind."
"Any plan can't be too rigid. If there's a change in tactics, I'll notify you imdiately."
"Li Xing has a perpetual motion cara and has already captured the map content."
"So, take this."
Wu Di obediently hid the map close to his body.
Su Qiangwei looked at Ma Ran with a complex expression.
This guy…
Always appears confident and full of poise, but in reality, it's probably just a facade to keep everyone at ease, isn't it?
The so-called "any plan can't be too rigid" is actually incorrect.
After all, it's Earth's lack of strength that's the issue.
If each mber of the expedition team possessed the combat power of the Divine Child or Sword Master, would there still be a need to adjust the plan based on circumstances?
The answer is obviously no.
Set a target, find the opponent's location, never mind how strong the enemy is or how many there are, just push straight ahead in one go and solve it—what plan adjustnts would be necessary?
Su Qiangwei suddenly ca to her senses, realizing Li Xing and Wu Di had already disappeared, teleported through the "telephone booth" to the destination.
She shook her head and followed behind Ma Ran.
Precisely because of the overall lack of power, intelligence and strategy beco crucial.
The previous assumption, at least at the current stage, is impossible to achieve.
Not to ntion in China, even considering all the extraordinary individuals on Earth, it's impossible to find five beings on the sa level as Sword Master or Divine Child.
Ma Ran grabbed Divine Child's arm and entered the "telephone booth."
Their figures vanished before Su Qiangwei's eyes.
"…"
She felt sothing was amiss, but couldn't pinpoint the problem.
Not wanting to waste ti, Su Qiangwei suppressed this doubt deep within her heart.
She took a step forward, entering the small booth that looked like an old-fashioned telephone booth with a touch of steampunk style.
This device is a fixed teleportation apparatus on the planet's surface.
By consuming "card points," the common currency, one can reach any location within the Eternal Civilization's main base.
"Basic fee 10 card points, deducted."
A chanized voice sounded in the teleportation booth: "Service function initiated!"
"Dear experint participant, Title Holder [Martial God], AI IXJEL976712 is at your service."
Su Qiangwei blinked.
That dog, the Extrely Effective Monarch, is indeed quite formidable.
When did she beco a "Title Holder" of Eternal Civilization?
The bracelet on her wrist actually represents a legitimate identity…
This was sothing she hadn't anticipated.
"Please select your destination!"
The chanized voice sounded again: "You can search by voice or select a location from the map."
Su Qiangwei said without hesitation, "I'm going to the Consciousness Transmission Factory!"
"Teleporting from your current location to the destination requires a total of 397 card points, which is your entire balance. We recomnd retaining ten percent of card points for daily living expenses."
The girl imdiately said, "I don't accept your advice."
chanized voice: "Destination [Consciousness Transmission Factory], confirm imdiate teleportation?"
The bracelet's balance totals only 407 card points.
The Extrely Effective Monarch calculated extrely precisely.
After one teleportation, nothing will be left.
"Yes."
Golden electric light surged, and a dark vortex appeared in view.
At this mont, her body seed to completely dissolve, and ti appeared to rewind.
In a daze, Su Qiangwei felt as if she had returned to an embryonic state, her whole being dim and indistinct, unable to sense the existence of her hands or feet!
Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Su Qiangwei discovered the scenery before her had completely changed.
The countless cubic rooms that once triggered dense phobia had disappeared from view.
In their place stood a massive black cubic factory.
Ma Ran and Divine Child were standing beside her.
Li Xing and Wu Di were half-kneeling on the ground, vomiting painfully.
Their disguises had all been stripped away, revealing their original forms.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
A sharp, piercing warning sounded from the bracelet, and it flashed with a red light representing danger…
