Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 169 Gao Hongliang: This is what technology is all about!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wen and Cheng Xiao tightened their grip on the magical firearms. Regardless of whether they were ordinary people or soldiers, it was inevitable that they would be nervous when they first saw a skeleton running around with broken weapons, let alone fight it.

Then it was the turn of the caring older sister Zhan Lan to come online and encourage people.

"Don't be afraid. Those skeleton soldiers are just basic grunts. If you make good use of your equipment, you can easily eliminate them."

Besides, we're right behind you; if you encounter any danger, we'll step in to protect you.

Zhan Lan's gentle and peaceful words were like warm sunshine, shining into Zhu Wen and Cheng Xiao's hearts, easing their tension when facing an enemy they had never seen before, and allowing them to focus their attention.

As the distance between the group and the skeletal soldiers continued to close, the skeletal soldiers, who had been wandering in the city ruins, seemed to have sensed the presence of living people on them and swarmed towards them almost simultaneously.

Upon seeing this, Luo Li immediately ordered the team to halt, then said to Zhu Wen and Cheng Xiao, "Get ready, the battle is in your hands."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wen and Cheng Xiao took a deep breath and strode to the front of the group, holding their magic guns and aiming them at the direction where the skeleton soldiers were about to appear.

When a group of skeletons came into view, Zhu Wen instinctively pulled the trigger. A blue magic ray shot out from the muzzle of the gun, passing over the skeletal army and shooting into the distant sky.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Xiao, a veteran, immediately shared his years of shooting experience with Zhu Wen, saying, "Zhu Wen, don't be too nervous. Wait until those monsters get closer, aim, and then shoot."

Perhaps it was Cheng Xiao's voice that reminded Zhu Wen that she still had companions fighting alongside her. The tension and panic she felt after seeing the skeleton dissipated considerably, and her finger, which had been tightly gripping the trigger, finally loosened. She then asked Cheng Xiao in a more composed manner.

"Brother Cheng Xiao, I remember you're a soldier, right? So what should a newcomer pay attention to when using firearms? Could you tell me about it as soon as possible?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but admire the girl's composure; she had calmed down so quickly. He then spoke rapidly, "With the performance of this magic gun we have, all you need to do is aim the crosshair at those skeleton soldiers and pull the trigger! You don't need to think about anything else!"

After Cheng Xiao finished speaking, he raised the muzzle of his gun, and the crosshair in his field of vision immediately aimed at a skeleton soldier. Then he decisively pulled the trigger.

Another blue magic ray streaked across the night sky, but this time it accurately struck the skeleton soldier a hundred meters away, annihilating him.

Seeing this, Zhu Wen followed suit, adjusting the direction of the gun muzzle using the crosshair in her field of vision, and then pulled the trigger. Another skeleton soldier was blown apart by the magic ray fired from the magic gun.

Destroy one skeleton soldier. Reward: 100 reward points.

Zhu Wen was overjoyed by the notification from the God. Although she was still a newbie in the God's Space, she had already learned about the importance of reward points from Li Shuaixi's introduction to the God's Space.

Thus, the desire for reward points completely overwhelmed the fear of monsters in her heart. Once Zhu Wen got into the zone, her speed in killing skeleton soldiers even surpassed that of Cheng Xiao, a rigorously trained soldier, which drew the attention of many veteran players.

Not bad, much better than those useless newbies from before.
Zhu Wen and Cheng Xiao worked together seamlessly, wiping out a group of skeleton soldiers before they could even reach the Central Continent Team.

After the battle, Zhu Wen stood there blankly, reminding Cheng Xiao of himself when he was a recruit. He was about to go up and say a few words to Zhu Wen to relax when he heard her complaining, "Is it over already?"

Cheng Xiao silently chose to keep quiet. He now understood that those chosen by the main god were mostly ruthless individuals.

"As newcomers, your performance in the initial battle was not bad. Tell me, how many reward points did the God give you for killing these skeleton soldiers?" Hearing Luo Li's question, Cheng Xiao glanced at Chu Xuan and only answered after seeing the other party nod: "100 reward points for each skeleton soldier. I killed twenty-two and got two thousand two hundred reward points."

Seeing this, Zhu Wen also reported her gains. "I received 2,500 reward points."

"Only reward points? No side quests? The main god is being too stingy this time."

After learning about the two newcomers' gains, Zheng Zha complained again that the rewards given by the main god for this mission were too small. Luo Li replied, "Perhaps this is the normal amount of reward."

Our Zhongzhou team had two high-reward missions before, one was a team battle, and the other was scheduled before a team battle.

Team battles offer high rewards primarily from eliminating enemy Reincarnators. As for Ju-on, there's a saying: "Before a major battle, there are always supplies." You should understand that, right?

Zheng Zha said with a dark face, "I understand! The last half of the sentence is unnecessary! You don't need to ask again!"

Luo Li shrugged, completely ignoring Zheng Zha's protest, and instead said to Zhu Wen and Cheng Xiao, "Given your previous performance, as the captain of the Central Continent Team, I hereby declare that you have passed the assessment. From now on, you are temporary members of the Central Continent Team. If you want to become permanent members, then work harder~".

Zhu Wen and Cheng Xiao exchanged bewildered glances. "We thought we were already members of the Zhongzhou team, even though we're just temporary team members."

However, precisely because of this, Zhu Wen and Cheng Xiao's trust in the Zhongzhou team increased again. After all, people often don't cherish what they have easily obtained, but they know how to cherish what they have achieved by overcoming difficulties.

Since Zhu Wen and Cheng Xiao had passed the preliminary test, Luo Li didn't hold back and immediately showed them the complete form of the magical costumes they were wearing.

"Gao Hongliang, link Zea to their Mystic Codes."

"KO, command sent, Zea is establishing the link!"

As Gao Hongliang said "It's done," Zhu Wen and Cheng Xiao not only felt their magical costumes become lighter, but their senses also became much sharper. Moreover, their magical costumes no longer felt sluggish when they moved, and their movements became very smooth.

"What is this?" Zhu Wen and Cheng Xiao were surprised. They did not expect that the changes after the Mystic Code was linked to the so-called Zea would be so great.

"Surprised? That's to be expected! Zea is an incredibly powerful artificial intelligence!"

Gao Hongliang praised his own Zeya and explained the changes in their magical costumes to Zhu Wen and Cheng Xiao.

"In short, with Zea's computing power, the magical costumes you are wearing are now truly complete. In addition to improvements in basic attributes in all aspects, they also provide AI-assisted combat functions."

Hmm. You know what auto-aim is? It means automatically aiming and firing during ranged combat. And during melee combat, it means automatically blocking and automatically attacking.

If you need it, I can even set up a one-click combo for you~, so, do you want it?
