You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 267 Set Sail, Lace Eve! (2 in 1 Pre-order)

At this time, Xiaoyu and his friends in the future saw the closure of the time and space vortex, and also saw the sacrifice of the four divine beast girls inside the vortex.

Everyone suddenly felt heavy-hearted.

Ada: "No matter what, we can't let their sacrifice go to waste. We must find a way to save the world once and for all."

Heya nodded and said, "Indeed, although the entrance to the space-time vortex has been temporarily sealed, it does not mean that the world is out of danger."

Die Mei: "What should we do next?"

Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said:

"According to what Dr. Silva said in the holographic image, in order to reverse the disorder of time and space and the damage caused by the divine crystal, we need to use the power of the divine crystal in Fina and me. Therefore, we must go back to the year 1200 of the Goddess calendar and save Fina."

Elsabel frowned and said:
“But now, we still have a problem, which is how to return to the year 1200 of the Goddess calendar.

The four great beast mothers have already fallen, and it is impossible for them to tear the space apart and send us back..."

Ada interrupted:
"Regarding this question, I do have an opinion. Since the divine crystal itself has the power to travel through time and space, if we use a large enough divine crystal to build a warship, can we all travel through time and space?"

Xiao Yu sighed, "The question is, where can I find such a large divine crystal?"

This problem once again trapped everyone.

Afterwards, Xiaoyu and others took the shuttle and temporarily returned to the ground.

……

The next morning, Xiaoyu was still asleep when she was awakened by the sound of gunfire in the suburbs of the mobile city.

Ada pushed open the door and walked in: "The city chief wants to see us urgently."

After entering the chief's office, the mayor of the mobile city, a middle-aged man who looked to be about fifty years old, looked at the outskirts of the city and said:

“I believe you must have heard the noise coming from the outskirts of the city in the morning.

In fact, the space-time vortex that appeared recently in the sky destroyed many of the warships of the Mobile City Alpha's garrison, and the resistance took advantage of the city's weak defenses to launch an attack on us."

"The Resistance?" Xiaoyu asked curiously, "Didn't the Resistance base crash along with the Dome Factory?"

The Prime Minister sighed. "Although their stronghold has been destroyed, a considerable number of men remain. They have been reunited by the radical factions within the resistance army, forming a formidable force."

Heya nodded and said:
“Indeed, the resistance army is divided into two factions. One is the ‘moderates’ headed by Elena and me, and the other is the ‘radicals’.

Compared to ours, the radicals' demands are even more extreme, calling for humans to be driven out of cities and replaced by humans.

Originally, they were just a small force, suppressed by Elena and me.

Presumably, with the fall of the Dome Factory and the decline of the city, they felt the time had come to launch a counterattack."

The Prime Minister nodded and said, "That's why I invited you to this meeting, Ms. Heya. You were once the adjutant of the rebels. I think it would be best if you could persuade them to stop their attack on the city."

Die Mei sneered at this time: "Mr. Prime Minister, don't you know why the resistance organization was originally established?"

As the leader of a fairy tribe that was once bullied by Griffin, Die Mei empathizes with the plight of the mecha girls.

The Prime Minister's voice gradually faded away:

"I know that humans have done many bad things to mecha girls in the past, so I really have no right to expect Ms. Heya to forgive us.

However, many citizens of this city are innocent. They are not members of the "Consortium" and have not participated in the persecution of the mecha girls. Please have mercy on them.

In addition, I will personally propose a motion in the Skyrim Federation Parliament to grant mecha girls citizenship. Mecha girls will enjoy the same status and treatment as other citizens, and we will also take a portion of land from the country to provide for your livelihood."

Heya was silent for a moment. She could hear the sound of gunfire from the distant suburbs and the crying of children in the nearby streets.

"Okay, I promise you."

"Thank you very much." The Prime Minister breathed a sigh of relief.

She started to leave the office, but suddenly stopped before leaving and said:

"Don't get me wrong, I don't forgive your actions now. I just don't want Elena and Unit-01 to die in vain, nor do I want our companions to degenerate into the people we once hated the most."

……

After leaving the Prime Minister's office, Xiaoyu and his group came to the outskirts of the mobile city.

At this time, the city defense forces were engaged in a fierce battle with the Mecha Girls Resistance Army.

On the battlefield, flames shot up into the sky, and the sounds of gunfire and mecha collisions intertwined into chaos.

The defense line of the mobile city was defeated under the fierce offensive of the resistance army. The glass windows of the high-rise buildings were shattered by bullets, and the buildings and cars on the streets were reduced to scorched earth.

The Federation Army's sword girls and ship girls moved across the battlefield like lightning, constantly cutting off the rebels' offensive routes.

The rebels were not to be outdone. They were equipped with various weapons, including high-rate machine guns, explosive flamethrowers, and huge energy cannons.

They engaged in mobile street fighting in the narrow city streets, continuously capturing one stronghold after another.

After loading her weapon, Ada looked at the chaotic battlefield and sighed:
"It's so noisy and chaotic here, and both sides are getting too carried away. Who knows if anyone will listen to Heya? The Prime Minister really knows how to give others a hard time."

Heya shook her head. "No, it's useless for us to convince them here. They are all passionate and innocent children. Right now, I'm afraid they will only listen to the radical leader. So we should sneak into their lair and capture the leader."

Haruta pounded his palm with his fist. "I see, this is what they call catching the leader first!"

……

Half a day later, Xiaoyu arrived on the ground in a shuttle.

On Earth, once lush forests have been polluted to a grayish-brown hue. The vegetation has withered, the land has become barren, and once clear rivers have become murky. Vast tracts of land have been eroded by chemicals, devoid of life.

The air was filled with a pungent chemical smell, making people feel as if they were in a doomsday scene.

The mountains in the distance, once majestic and magnificent, have now been mined into huge mines, and the exposed mineral layers appear dead gray.

Some mutant creatures wander in this desolate land, such as six-legged elks and three-legged crows, which make strange and mournful cries from time to time.

Ada told everyone what she learned from history textbooks.

Probably starting from 1900 in the new calendar, mankind entered an era of excessive industrial expansion, and the earth was polluted at a rate visible to the naked eye until it completely lost its value for survival.

So, humans began to use propulsion suspension technology to create floating islands one after another and moved to live in the sky.

The earth was therefore completely abandoned.

Die Mei sneered: "Discarding them after use is exactly what I imagined about this rabble."

Heya brought everyone to an abandoned mine on the ground.

"This place was once a mine for divine crystals, but now it has been transformed into a military fortress by radicals."

A massive concrete wall surrounds the mine's entrance, topped with heavy machine guns and surrounded by a secure area covered in barbed wire and surveillance cameras.

A vast expanse of open ground had been cleared from the mines within the fortress, where a simple barracks had been erected. Mecha women were moving about in the area, conducting drills. From the training grounds came the sounds of mechas colliding and firearms firing.

Xiaoyu and his group sneaked around the training ground and entered the underground passage of the fortress. They found that the depth of the mine was much larger than they had imagined, and the radicals had built a large-scale tunnel network.

The dark underground passage twists and turns, with various pipes and cables crisscrossing the ceiling, emitting a faint humming sound.

The air was filled with the smell of damp and water droplets condensed on the walls. The dim light cast swaying shadows, and the occasional sound of wind made people feel as if there was some unknown existence wandering in the darkness.

A depressing atmosphere enveloped the passage. Xiaoyu and his companions moved forward tremblingly, always alert to the movements around them.

Finally, Lu Yu relied on his memory to control the character through this tunnel network with many branches and reached the deepest part.

Suddenly, a dazzling light came from the front!
When we arrived at the exit of the tunnel, we discovered that it was a vast underground command center.

The large screen displayed the city defense map of Mobile City Alpha.

A mecha girl, holding a microphone in front of the big screen, continuously gave orders to various combat units.

Heya whispered, "She is Luna, the leader of the radical faction."

Ada was about to load her weapon when Heya stopped her and said, "Leave it to me!"

"Who is there! Come out!"

Luna looked towards the entrance of the hall warily.

After a moment, Heya raised her hands and walked out of the shadows: "Luna, it's me." Luna saw Heya and was surprised: "Senior Heya?! You came... alone?"

"Yes."

Heya said calmly, "I escaped from the fortress city alone and came to you. Elena was killed by humans, and I want to avenge her."

Luna nodded frantically: "Senior Heya, with your help, we will definitely be able to win the first battle and take over the fortress city!"

She enthusiastically pulled Heya to the command platform and briefed her on the rebels' offensive.

Heya stood behind her and quietly took out the electric shock device from her hand.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

Luna, who was electrocuted, collapsed directly into Heya's arms.

Her expression was one of disbelief: "Senior Heya, why…"

"I'm sorry, Luna, but I can't bear to see you let the children of the resistance die in vain.

Even if you take the fortress city, the Sky Federation will mobilize its main forces from other places to counterattack. You only have so many people, and sooner or later you will be wiped out by the Sky Federation. Don't let them fill the line.

I promise you that I will give you a home to live in.

Now, you take a rest..."

After Luna fell into a coma, Heya gave orders to all the rebels through the intercom, asking everyone to stop the attack immediately and return the same way.

The governor of the fortress city also ordered the city's defenders not to pursue the retreating resistance forces.

This short war was finally quelled.

……

Heya placed Luna on the small bed, and Xiaoyu and others also entered the command hall, looking around curiously.

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

Suddenly, the Fire Dragon Lady began to shout excitedly, pointing and dancing somewhere at the edge of the hall.

Everyone came there and took a closer look.
It turns out that next to this command hall, there is a huge abyss.

And at the bottom, there is a huge cute divine crystal with a diameter of about 5 meters!
When everyone saw this divine crystal, they were shocked. Even Ada, the native of this world, exclaimed:
"I've never seen a divine crystal this large, even in books and TV shows."

Heya analyzed, "This divine crystal must have been discovered accidentally by the rebels in a mineral vein. They hid it here, probably hoping to one day build their own combat flagship."

Haruta smiled and said, "Such a large divine crystal, is it enough for us to create a ship girl that can travel through time and space?"

Ada nodded: "That should be enough, but what items should we use to perform the feminization?"

Everyone racked their brains for a long time, rummaged through their bags, but couldn't find any precious enough materials to feminize.

Just when everyone was in a dilemma, suddenly!

Lan Baiji, who was jumping around nearby, was suddenly tripped by the cable under her feet. She staggered and hit Ada's back directly.

Ada's bag was knocked open and a piece of underwear flew out.

The garment was pure white, with lace trimmings along the edges. It was shaped like two hemispheres connected by a ribbon, and it fell directly into the abyss.

"Oops!"

The girls hurried to the side of the abyss and leaned over to take a look.

The piece of clothing fell squarely onto the divine crystal.

The divine crystal began to emit dazzling white light, transforming into streams of light, and continued to expand!

A dazzling light rose from the bottom of the abyss, and in the light, the figure of a young girl gradually emerged.

The first thing to take shape was a pair of slender legs, covered with pure white skirt armor that shimmered slightly, exuding a noble atmosphere.

Then, a slender waist and even curves appeared, and as the body took shape, the white armor gradually covered it completely. The armor was embellished with shimmering lace patterns and wrapped in a layer of soft cotton.

The ship girl's head gradually emerged, her jade-white eyes were clear and bright, and she wore a pair of headphones with small wings on her head, which trembled gently.

A pair of white hemispherical wings spread out from the back, forming an elegant arc.

Finally, a pair of slender arms took shape, with a long thin ribbon held at the end of the right hand.

Her long pure white hair fluttered in the wind, and the ship girl stood on the earth like a heroic Valkyrie.

A game prompt popped up in front of Lu Yu: [Female transformation successful, congratulations on synthesizing the Super Crossbow-class ship girl, Lace Eve]

"..."

Xiaoyu and the others in the game looked up at the huge ship girl that was about 15 meters tall and fell into silence.

Especially Ada, who had a complicated expression when she saw her bra turned into a cute girl.

Elsabel secretly gave Lan Baiji a thumbs up: "Well done!"

"..."

Outside the screen, Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan, who were live streaming the game, also fell silent.

"..."

The audience in the live broadcast room also fell silent.

At this time, in Taoyuan Township Villa.

Among the project team members who were watching the live broadcast, except Wan Xiaotong who was still watching the live broadcast happily, the others were frantically covering their faces, wishing they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Everyone looked at Technical Director Chu Xiong with complicated expressions.

Chu Xiong's old face has turned red like a tomato: "I haven't been to anything."

At this time, deep in the server of Taoyuan Light Year, in a mysterious room.

Melissa sat elegantly on the sofa with her snow-white legs crossed, shaking the red wine in her glass with one hand and lazily supporting her chin with the other, watching the live broadcast on TV.

"This is what makes the game fun. I'm just implementing Taoyuan Township's corporate culture. Don't you agree, my masters?"

The corner of her mouth curled up.

……

Lu Yu was the first to come back to his senses and was thinking about what to say to smooth things over.

After all, no matter how difficult it is, life must go on.

He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, I didn't expect that the designers in Taoyuan Township are quite creative, right?"

Liu Mengyuan also echoed in confusion, "Indeed, indeed. If you think about it carefully, doesn't this just demonstrate the freedom of this open-world game?"

In the live broadcast room, the barrage also reacted and began to discuss enthusiastically:
"Indeed, at first, I thought the game's promotional slogan of 'everything can be cute' was just a gimmick. I didn't expect that the programmers at Taoyuan Township had actually coded almost every item in the game to be feminine."

"Think about it, this is quite a lot of work. No wonder they didn't make it to the opening of the Tianzun Cup. I forgive them!"

"Well, yeah, actually, think about it, isn't this kind of high degree of freedom more exciting? I can't wait to try out more props that can be feminized."

As everyone continued to discuss, the comments in the live broadcast room quickly became lively again, and even became more heated than before!

After Lace Eve appeared on the stage, the popularity of the live broadcast room soared to 1600 million!
Completely broke the previous highest viewing record of the Taoyuan Light Year website!
At this point, in the game plot,

Xiaoyu and others are preparing to board the ship's cockpit to check.

Everyone came to the feet of the ship girl and looked up at her magnificence from below.

Lu Yu knew what the audience in the live broadcast room wanted to see. He tried to rotate the mouse's perspective, but the screen perspective always got stuck when it was about to reach the critical angle.

The live broadcast room was filled with angry comments: "Damn Taoyuan Township!"

Aida muttered, "Now the question is, where is the ship's cockpit? How do I get in?"
