Chapter 398: Digitization
In the past, there was a long interval between deployment tasks, like Number Three, there still hasn't been any news, Li Yu even thought he drifted until losing contact.
But this time, Clone One gave him a surprise. The time since deployment hadn't even exceeded half a day, and the task was directly completed.
This speed was unprecedented, but at the same time it also made him mutter to himself. With such a fast speed, could it be he casually picked up some garbage from the street side to fob it off.
Seeing Li Yu absent-minded, Connor just assumed he was in a bad mood from being messed with by Titus just now.
As a Prince, his status was esteemed, it wasn't good for him to say much about this kind of thing, simply hanging up the communication and going to busy himself with his own matters.
Returning Star and the Star Glory Empire were too far apart, and some areas couldn't be jumped through via Stargates. The so-called sending a delegation was also communicating through remote projection.
And Li Yu couldn't wait to open the [System Log].
[Task - Acquire Valuable Items - Completed - Time - Two Hours]
Sure enough it was fast, only taking two hours' time. Li Yu continued to read down...
If you don't restrain yourself, the final infusion might even cause them to completely explode.
You pondered the task objective, your eyes full of emptiness.
Right at this moment, a passing Pedestrian accidentally bumped into you, he wore a pair of blue glasses.
He seemed to treat you as an NPC, pulling out a Gun from his back and wanting to make you squat down.
You tilted your head looking at this guy shouting loudly and constantly jumping around...
...Half an hour later, in the ruins of the city, you picked up these sunglasses, boringly submitting them to the System...]
Uh... a rather brief task log, clearly this world made Number One feel very bored.
No superpowered lifeforms, also no interesting "acquaintances", and just happened to have a blind guy treat Number One as an NPC, quite outrageous.
Seeing this, Li Yu also knew what those sunglasses were. It was the game world's login device, which was the item the protagonist originally obtained.
He just didn't know what kind of ability he would possess after coming to this world?
Gamifying the entire world? That would be too outrageous...
[Obtained Special Item––Virtual Glasses: As the login device for the game world, it allows an NPC to see the truth of the world.
After wearing it, you will temporarily be able to digitize your body.]
Oh... Li Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, so it wasn't gamifying the entire world, but digitizing himself.
Li Yu felt somewhat novel, immediately taking out these sunglasses and wearing them over his eyes. A special fluctuation scanned his entire body.
Some complex symbols began to emerge on the sunglasses, finally gradually turning into data that Li Yu could understand.
[Host: Li Yu
Health Points: 100%
Mental Power: 100%
Level: A2
Abilities: Seed of the Voice––Forcefully manipulate targets (depends on target's Mental Power)
Energy Manipulation––...
Red Lotus State––...
Golden Blood State––...
Rage––...
...]
On this page, basically most of Li Yu's own information was marked out, excluding those deeply bound to the System, such as titles and the like.
And this was just a basic ability. The greatest benefit of digitization was erasing the impact injuries brought in combat.
Under normal circumstances, if injured in combat, the impact suffered was comprehensive across many aspects, but after digitization, everything was quantified into Health Points.
This meant that unless Li Yu's Health Points dropped to zero, even his heart being hollowed out wouldn't prevent him from continuing to fight.
Li Yu did an experiment on himself, cutting open his skin, letting fresh blood flow out.
And his Health Points also became 99%, but very quickly, restored to 100%.
This was a quite interesting ability, also able to provide no small help in combat. Having this kind of harvest in two hours was the correct way to open the System.
[Avatar Task Completed... Avatar Recovery Successful... Discovered Host had another life leap, Avatar Strength Synchronizing... Time needed––720 hours]
[After the Avatar Strength Synchronization is completed, the System will undergo an upgrade.]
This prompt made Li Yu somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that after fusing the second Gene Chain, the Avatar also needed to adapt.
Last time it was when he reached A-rank lifeform. He didn't expect the System's detection to be after the Avatar deployment returned.
He had fused the second Gene Chain for a while now, the Avatar hadn't been deployed, and the System also had no movement.
This time after completing the task and returning, it was finally detected.
Evolution then evolution, recently there's nothing going on, just wait slowly, Li Yu didn't care much about this.
After taking off the Glasses, Li Yu felt his body undergo a certain change again, disengaging from the digitized state.
After getting familiar for a while, he put down this newly obtained toy, starting to ponder how to deal a heavy blow to Titus.
"...This guy definitely is thinking of ways to force me recently, won't stop until he gets the Heart of the Titan..."
"...If that's the case, there is a way..." Li Yu suddenly remembered a certain matter, his smile gradually becoming "brilliant".
...............
In a certain empty Starry Sky, a large Spaceship was sailing. This Spaceship rarely didn't enter Jump State, only using Thrusters to move leisurely.
In the Spaceship, Daniel sat on a Metal Seat, looking excitedly at the news playing on the Holographic Screen. It was exactly Returning Star's news channel.
The broadcast was still the recently highly momentum-filled Li Yu.
Over half a year had passed since the Ordos Incident. Daniel firmly believed in Li Yu's words, thinking he was executing a secret task, wandering in the Universe without any complaints.
It was just that as time passed, he occasionally wondered if Your Excellency Li Yu had forgotten him.
At the very beginning, he felt surprised at his own thoughts, but as time passed, such thoughts also frequently appeared.
"I am executing a secret task, Your Excellency Li Yu definitely won't forget me!" A white little person said by his ear.
"What Bullshit secret task, haven't you discovered yet, this Spaceship reveals eeriness everywhere. What exactly is imprisoned in that Warehouse?" Another black little person emerged:
"The soldiers on the Spaceship simply aren't listening to your command."
Daniel's face struggled, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
Suddenly, the news on the Holographic Screen disappeared, a familiar face appeared before Daniel's eyes.
"Daniel, my Captain, long time no see." Li Yu looked at the dull-faced Daniel and smiled.
Daniel was his former royal guard Captain, during the great battle in the Ordos System.
This Captain was Utterly Loyal to him, even wanting to take him away from among several A-rank lifeforms.
After the battle ended, Li Yu sent him and the Meteor Fleet's former commander Elton together into the Starry Sky.
At that time, he himself didn't even expect Elton to have any use. It was just that with his abilities at the time, wanting to turn Elton into his Zealot was somewhat troublesome.
Killing him felt too much of a pity, so he sent the other party to wander in the Starry Sky.
And that Spaceship, as well as all the soldiers on it, and the intelligent management terminal, had always been under Li Yu's control.
"Your Excellency... Li Yu!" Daniel was incomparably excited, suddenly shooting up from the Seat, standing straight.
Li Yu nodded, without too much pleasantries, getting straight to the point: "Still remember the secret task I told you back then?"
"Remember!" Daniel nodded firmly. In his mind, the white little person ruthlessly punched the black little person flying, simultaneously cursing: "Scram..."
"Very good, now is the time to start the task..."
During Li Yu's narration, Daniel's expression gradually became extremely wonderful, from disbelief, to panic and unease, and then to accepting reality.
"...This task is very important, absolutely cannot make a mistake, understand!?" Li Yu said solemnly.
"Understand!" Daniel immediately shouted, his gaze already extremely firm.
No matter what, he was Your Excellency Li Yu's Subordinate!
That figure who blocked in front of him in the Ordos System, he would never forget!
Li Yu nodded in satisfaction, going offline again. And Daniel clenched his fists. Such a long wait was not in vain, Your Excellency Li Yu still remembered him.
Although this task sounded truly too outrageous, since Your Excellency Li Yu ordered it, he would definitely complete it!
He immediately gathered the soldiers of the entire Spaceship, starting to secretly issue various instructions. Although these instructions all sounded very strange, these soldiers acted very normally.
In the Spaceship's Warehouse, the Meteor Fleet's former commander General Elton was in a Cage. His head hung low, his figure withered, his Mental State extremely poor.
At the same time, his eyes were full of bloodshot, repeatedly murmuring two words in his mouth––Li Yu.
With the passage of time, he had completely stopped thinking about the possibility of escaping.
The manager of this Spaceship was simply a demon, frequently broadcasting news about Li Yu on the public address system, intentionally torturing him.
Li Yu's increasingly high Status and increasingly powerful combat power made him gradually despair, no longer hoping for the possibility of escaping.
And even less expecting that Returning Star could investigate the truth clearly. No one knew the faces of those politicians better than him.
He originally followed Vimala's orders, wanting to quietly kill Li Yu.
But now from the occasionally sounding broadcasts, he could infer that Vimala was currently backing Li Yu, making the anger in his heart soar even higher!
Right at this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded on the public address system.
"Warning, personnel breakout discovered in bottom prison block, initiating level one alert."
"Warning, management system invaded, impending shutdown... beep... beep..."
Elton was somewhat dumbfounded, haven't reacted yet, then, he saw the Blast Door that hadn't opened once since he was locked in crack a seam, faint light shining in.
Accompanying the sound of gunshots, a figure rolled in, quickly running in front of Elton's Cage.
"Commander Elton?" That person asked in a deep voice.
A spark of hope rose in Elton's heart, who had already been imprisoned for a long time, immediately saying excitedly: "It's me, I am Elton!"
Finally... finally... someone finally came to save me!
Damn Li Yu, you wait, I will definitely make you pay the price!
And Vimala, you heartless bitch!
Colluding with the Star Glory Empire, secretly hiding the [Apostle], imprisoning Returning Star High Echelon commanders!
These crimes were enough for Li Yu to drink a pot. Elton's heart burned hot. However, just as the other party unlocked the Chains on his body, he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
Being imprisoned for over half a year, during which there was no Nutritious Substance supplement.
And before being imprisoned, he also experienced a great battle, being heavily injured, resulting in his current physical condition being truly worrying, almost having no combat power.
This made his heart run cold. Without combat power, how could he fight his way out of this Spaceship?
"Commander Elton, follow me..." That person said in a low voice. Only until now did Elton see the other party's appearance clearly, making him feel somewhat familiar.
"You are..." Elton frowned tightly, then his pupils violently contracted: "You are Li Yu's royal guard!?"
"It's me..." Daniel didn't look back, acting as if carefully on alert for something. He was covered in wounds, looking as if Elton was even more miserable.
"You...?" Elton looked at him doubtfully.
"Commander Elton, no time to say more, the emergency shelter has already been breached by us, walk straight down this corridor, at the end is..." Daniel poked his head out, firing a few energy bullets for show.
"Inside is an emergency Shuttle Spaceship, you can pilot it to the nearest Life Planet..."
Due to things progressing too fast, Elton was still somewhat dumbfounded. He keenly perceived something: "You guys? Who?"
"Us?" Daniel's tone contained a sneer, gritting his teeth: "We are Li Yu's royal guard corps!"
Elton was stunned slightly, then seemed to understand. What a ruthless person, in order to keep secrets, even made a move on his own royal guard corps.
"Go quickly!" Taking advantage of Elton's momentary daze, Daniel fiercely pushed him out, at the same time activating an energy Shield, blocking in front of him.
The next moment, overwhelming energy cannon fire attacked. Elton stumbled and fled, heading towards the direction Daniel pointed.
"Commander Elton, your Status is the highest, there must be a chance to let the truth see the light of day again, absolutely don't let down our expectations ah!"
A surging explosion firelight struck from behind, rushing Elton into the corner. He didn't dare to hesitate, gritting his teeth and continuing forward.
Just as Daniel said, the path was filled with traces of battle, even sounds of crossfire came, seeming as if they were still fighting.
Noisy sounds of pursuit came. Elton had no time to think much. Following the path, he found the emergency Escape Pod, indeed already breached.
He hurriedly scurried in, boarded the Shuttle Spaceship inside, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and activated the Propulsion Engine.
As the blazing tail flame spewed out, the empty and silent Starry Sky now looked like a symbol of freedom to Elton.
And until the Shuttle Spaceship left, he didn't look back once. In his eyes, there was only the joy of Survivors Of The Catastrophe and hatred.
......
Watching the blockbuster playing out in real-time, the corners of Li Yu's mouth curled up. He didn't expect Daniel's acting skills to be quite good.
Also didn't know if this Elton was decisive or heartless. Until the end, he didn't take a single look at the royal guard corps who "saved him with their lives".
Titus ah Titus, such a crucial Handle delivered in front of you, you will definitely make a strong move, right.
Rather than waiting blankly for Titus's attack, better to strike proactively.
The Ordos Incident still had quite a few mysteries. But as Li Yu's Status became higher and higher, plus the lack of crucial evidence, it resulted in no one willing to bring this matter up now.
But if Commander Elton, who died long ago according to the records, suddenly appeared, then this matter would probably become very interesting.
