Eternal Night

Chapter 138 Upgrade Content and Awakening

(PS: Thanks to the alliance leader Li Chaoren for the reward. I will add another chapter here. Thank you again for your support.)
Wu Xianxiao brought Jiujiu and Daphne back to Gaia.

When he first returned, Wu Xianxiao was still lying in the hibernation capsule in a daze.

"...Fuck, I'm actually a little uncomfortable. The first thing I did after returning was not to go to the medical base station to save lives."

Wu Xianxiao complained about himself, secretly cursed himself for being such a jerk, and then immediately said enthusiastically: "Mastermind, please explain the task system, the trusteeship system, and the points system."

"Judgment in progress... Judgment completed."

"Task system: When maintenance personnel enter the dream world, the main brain will list zero to multiple tasks based on the current dream world. Accepting the tasks will earn rewards. The rewards are divided into multiple items such as dream world objects, authority upgrades, information exchanges, attribute upgrades, and points earned."

"Tasks are divided into two categories: optional and mandatory. Optional tasks are selected by the maintenance personnel at their discretion, while mandatory tasks must be completed."

"Corresponding to the reward is the punishment. If you fail, you will be given a variety of punishments."

"Hosting system: maintenance personnel can spend points to host dream worlds. The main brain will suppress the dream world for thirty days. The lower the baseline reality of the dream world, the more points are required. This is designed to help build a large number of low-level shelters so that maintenance personnel can gain extra time and go to dream worlds with lower baseline realities to become stronger."

"Points system: You can earn points through tasks, and the points can be used to perform escrow business at the mastermind, which can increase your authority."

“The points system is in trial operation, and in the future we may add options such as physical exchange and reward exchange.”

After listening to the introduction of the main brain, Wu Xianxiao carefully analyzed all the information of these three major items.

The task system is very simple and clear, and seems to be no different from the infinite flow main god system he has seen before. There are rewards and punishments, side quests and main quests. The specific situation is still unclear, but in short, this is a good thing... It should be a good thing, right?
Compared with the uncertainty of the task system, the hosting system is really a good thing.

Wu Xianxiao had a very comfortable ten-day vacation. He no longer felt as nervous as before, and his whole body felt completely tense.

Before this, the pressure of nightmares, the pressure of guarding the dream world time, even the simplest problem of eating, all weighed heavily on Wu Xianxiao's heart, like a spring being compressed tighter and tighter, making it almost difficult to even breathe.

With the hosting system, dream worlds like Castlevania, or even more difficult dream worlds, at least have a chance to catch their breath. If you really can't beat them and will die if you go in, then you can go to a weaker dream world to earn more points, host it as a main brain first, and then find a way to go back for revenge after your strength increases. This is also a good idea.

Finally, there is the points system.

It is still in the trial operation stage, there are too few points that can be exchanged for items, and points can only be obtained through tasks. I don’t know whether the main brain will continue to be updated in the future. This points system undoubtedly has huge potential. Who knows, this main brain may really become the main god in the future.

"...But can this master brain really be created by human technology in the 29th century?"

This is the biggest doubt in Wu Xianxiao's mind, a question he has had since he was awakened. Especially after knowing that the lower the baseline reality of a dream world, the less powerful the technological weapons will be, or even ineffective. Then, as the mastermind of technological creations, how could they be so powerful that they could penetrate into dream worlds at a lower level of baseline reality?

"Could it be that the main brain is also the so-called singularity technology?"

Wu Xianxiao thought for a long time but couldn't get the answer. He could only skip this issue and see if he could find an intelligent teammate like Xu Shilan and let them think more.

After confirming the upgrade information of the main brain, the next thing Wu Xianxiao has to do is to wake up the new maintenance personnel. This is what he wanted to do before the main brain was upgraded. What if he won a big prize?

For example, if there are three or four people of the same level as Chu Minghao, he can just lie down and win.

"We can wake up eight people in total. I hope we'll have better luck."

This time Wu Xianxiao didn't try to wash his hands. After all, nothing can change a person's fate, and money can't change his destiny. He accepted the fact that he was a poor man, so he just highlighted his great strength and awakened eight newcomers at once. At least he should have one or two SSRs, right?

They don't have to be too strong. Even if Chu Minghao doesn't have high expectations, he should at least have teammates of the same level as Yamade and Xu Shilan, right?
"Mastermind, wake up the maintenance personnel... one by one."

As Wu Xianxiao began to wake up the maintenance personnel, hibernation capsules suddenly emerged from the metal deck.

Along with Wu Xianxiao's expectant eyes, several tentacles stretched out from the hibernation capsule, showing their fangs and claws for a while, and then these tentacles put on Wu Xianxiao's body.

"Don't be angry, there are still seven spots left."

Wu Xianxiao forced himself not to be angry, pulled the tentacle and shook it hard, and the whole tentacle was immediately shattered into pieces. At the same time, the force was quickly transmitted back, and within just a few seconds, all the tentacles immediately turned into rotten meat and fell to the ground, and then disappeared into pieces, along with the main body shrunk in the hibernation capsule.

The unsuccessful opening of the door did not affect Wu Xianxiao's ambition to draw cards. Soon after, the second hibernation capsule stood up. Under Wu Xianxiao's expectant gaze, the tentacles enthusiastically came towards him.

"..."

Wu Xianxiao followed suit and quickly started using the third awakening quota. "Brother, do you still remember me?"

As the pink aura dissipated, Wu Xianxiao punched out, and a pile of pink rotten meat exploded all over the ground, and then the pink rotten meat quickly dissipated into ashes.

The fourth hibernation capsule, the fifth hibernation capsule...

When the sixth hibernation capsule emerged, Wu Xianxiao had subconsciously raised his fist, and then a handsome man with glasses walked out. When he saw Wu Xianxiao's fist, he was so scared that he immediately raised both his hands.

Although even the man with glasses himself didn't know why he raised his hand, the aura of death that was overwhelming him still made him make a choice from the bottom of his heart.

"Liang Min! Male, 25 years old, graduated from Xinggang University, no criminal record!!" Liang Min raised his hands and shouted loudly.

Wu Xianxiao and Liang Min stared at each other for a long time before Wu Xianxiao put down his fist and shouted, "I won!"

Liang Min was confused and asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"

Wu Xianxiao said seriously: "I am just an African, not an African chief! This is a qualitative difference! At least Africans still have the opportunity to sneak into Europe!"

"What what what?" Liang Min was even more confused.

Wu Xianxiao didn't care about the newcomer and just said to him, "Get out of the way. I want to continue pretending!"

The seventh hibernation capsule was also successfully opened, and a dark-skinned muscular man with scars all over his body walked out from it. He had a face full of flesh and a cold expression. After coming out, he looked at Wu Xianxiao and the man with glasses, sneered and said nothing.

Wu Xianxiao had no objection, he continued to open the eighth awakening quota, and soon, the eighth hibernation capsule was successfully opened, and an ordinary middle-aged man walked out of it. He had ordinary looks, average height, and was a little bald. He looked like the kind of person that you wouldn't find among a group of disgraceful people.

Wu Xianxiao looked at the three newly awakened maintenance personnel, and his heart was actually heavy.

Putting aside the metaphysics of Europe or Africa, judging from this situation, Gaia's pollution is becoming more and more serious.

There are more and more nightmares penetrating from the dream world through the shelter to Gaia. Although they are blocked by completely scientific metal isolation doors, this kind of thing is completely unscientific, but its impact undoubtedly exists, that is, the probability of maintenance personnel being distorted and contaminated is getting higher.

When he was awakened, he heard from his predecessors that there was only a very small chance of encountering distortion and contamination when awakening a sleeper, and the distortion at that time was not so exaggerated that the tentacles were completely transformed into monsters, which even his predecessors could easily deal with.

By the time he came to wake up the newcomers, five out of the eight were either deformed, parasitized, or in a state of contaminated death.

This can only mean that there are so many nightmares on Gaia that even the main brain can hardly isolate them.

(Could this be the reason for the upgrade of the main brain?)
Wu Xianxiao thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He only knew that he had to become stronger at a faster rate. No matter what happened, strength was the key to facing everything.

At this time, the dark-skinned muscular man sneered at Wu Xianxiao and said, "Are you the maintenance captain of our area? Well, from now on, this captain position is mine. From now on, you all listen to my orders. Do you understand?"

Liang Min and the middle-aged man didn't say anything, and Wu Xianxiao didn't even look at him. The dark-skinned muscular man made a sound and looked around. Then he saw the Samoyed and then saw Jiujiu falling on the Samoyed's head. His eyes lit up and he reached out to grab the Samoyed.

"Good stuff, dog meat! Finally I don't have to eat that synthetic snot, and there's also roasted bird..."

He could not utter the next sentence. Wu Xianxiao had crossed a distance of more than 20 meters and appeared beside him. He grabbed his head with one hand and lifted it up. Liang Min and the middle-aged man both blinked their glasses, and their heads kept turning back and forth between the positions where the dark-skinned muscular man and Wu Xianxiao had just stood.

The two of them had no idea how Wu Xianxiao crossed a distance of more than 20 meters in a flash.

Wu Xianxiao looked at the dark-skinned muscular man calmly and said, "You just said, what do you want to eat?"

The dark-skinned muscular man suddenly became furious and hit Wu Xianxun in the face with his elbow, while kicking him at the lower body with both feet.

Then when his elbow hit Wu Xianxun's face, the joint broke with a snap, and his kicked feet were hanging limply, obviously either dislocated or fractured.

Wu Xianxiao let go of the dark-skinned muscular man, and saw him wailing and rolling around while holding his elbows and feet.

Wu Xianxiao no longer looked at the man, but turned to look at Liang Min and the middle-aged man. He smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wu Xianxiao. I can barely be considered your senior. Please listen carefully to what I am going to say. This concerns the life and death of all of us."

"Because of the emergence of the 'weekend', the dream network has undergone a drastic change. Now there is no dream network. Instead, there are real nightmares, terrifying unknowns, nightmares that are chasing us, and death that can come at any time..."

"...This is the world you and I will face!"
