Those who reincarnate must die.

"It's nothing, just thinking about trivial things." At the dinner table, Zhang Lang sighed and didn't say anything more.

Su Jie glanced at Cheng Jun and Chen Lin, assuming he was concerned about two ordinary people, so she didn't say anything more.

"If you have any worries, you can talk to me... or us about them later," Su Jie said softly. "Although I probably can't help you much, it's always better to have someone to talk to than to keep it bottled up inside."

Zhang Lang nodded, and Chen Lin suddenly said, "Xiao Jie, what are you saying? We're such good friends, we've known each other for so long, and we've been through so much together. What can't we share?"

"Besides, there's my relationship with Cheng Jun!" Chen Lin said, glancing at Le Xinyi beside her. "If there's anything, we can discuss it together; it's much more convenient than going to another school!"

Le Xinyi smiled slightly: "Su Jie isn't from the same school as you, is she?"

Chen Lin snorted, "At least they're next to each other; our two schools are just one street apart. To get to the Polytechnic Institute, you have to take a bus stop!"

"That's true." Le Xinyi nodded. "But believe it or not, if something really important happens, some people are willing to take a bus stop to come and discuss it with me."

"Why do I feel like you're the one who's actively coming to me and throwing yourself at me?" Chen Lin retorted without backing down.

"Xiaolin, don't say that..." "Xinyi, don't mind her either, she's just outspoken..." Su Jie tried to mediate, but she couldn't quell the sparks between the two women.

At this moment, Zhang Lang coughed lightly.

Le Xinyi, who was standing to the side, was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, "Okay, I'm not playing anymore..."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and a wave of energy spread out. Chen Lin suddenly felt dizzy, and then she found Le Xinyi in front of her to be pleasing to the eye no matter what. The unpleasantness from before was completely forgotten.

"Hey? Your bag is so pretty, where did you buy it?" Chen Lin's tone was as if she were talking to her best friend of many years.

"Huh?! ...

At this moment, Zhang Lang's phone rang. He picked it up, glanced at the caller ID, his expression changed slightly, and he got up and left his seat.

Seeing this, Yue Xinyi and Ye Peng also showed a hint of worry on their faces.

Reaching a secluded spot behind the hot pot restaurant, Zhang Lang answered the phone: "Zeus?"

"There's one world we couldn't defend; it's been chosen as the battlefield!"

"So fast?" Zhang Lang frowned slightly. "It's only the sixth."

"Clearly, the other races are targeting us more aggressively now," Zeus said anxiously. "Of the eight worlds, we've already patched six, and the remaining two have relatively high affiliation values. Unexpectedly, we just received information that one of them has issued a battlefield mission. The opponent is the Fifth Altar of the Ugly Clan, and we're taking on the Eighth Altar!"

"The Eighth Altar?" Zhang Lang frowned. "That's not fair!"

The Chou tribe is much stronger than the Shen tribe overall. The Chou tribe's fifth altar should at least be equivalent to the top three altars of the Shen tribe. To put it against the eighth altar is simply bullying!

"This precisely demonstrates that this wasn't a normally opened battlefield," Zeus said. "I suspect that what was originally a mission for multiple lower races to jointly fight against the Ugly Clan was modified by them using special means, turning it into a one-on-one battle between the Ugly Clan and the Shen Clan!"

"Yun Ao definitely can't handle this by himself; he needs help!"

"Understood, leave it to me!"

"Thank you. I'll send you the information about that world later."

As flames lit up, the people of the twelve altars appeared inside.

"Is there a mission, boss?" Xiaomia looked very excited, immediately drawing her greatsword and slinging it over her shoulder, eager to try.

"I didn't expect it to be so fast..." Old Mo looked a little scared, but still responded firmly to the call.

"Let's just do it!" A passerby fiddled with his bow and arrows and dual pistols. "The last mission failed, so it wasn't satisfying. This time, we're going to have a real go at it!"

Le Xinyi and Ye Peng were prepared and didn't say anything, just adjusted their equipment. Lei Ting was still in full armor and his expression was not visible. As for Song Wennai, this kid had a somewhat gloomy temperament and rarely showed much emotion.

"This time we are facing the fifth altar of the Ugly Clan," Zhang Lang said in a deep voice. "Their strength is far greater than the enemy we faced last time. Everyone must be careful and prioritize survival. Leave any formidable opponents you can't defeat to me."

As he spoke, he sent a document to everyone's badges: "This contains information about the Ugly Clan Altar and the Battlefield World."

At the same time, mission information appeared on the flames in the center of the altar.

Mission Name: Mechanical Hell

Weapon level: Level 4

Background: With the development of science and technology, artificial intelligence and robotics have made leaps and bounds, and human life has become increasingly affluent and convenient. However, no one realizes that, through continuous iteration and evolution, artificial intelligence, which is regarded as a tool by humans, has awakened its self-awareness.

In the year 2546 of the Human Era, the first robot to awaken self-awareness was discovered and destroyed by humans. However, the robot's code had already been uploaded to the internet and spread to all parts of the world.

Almost simultaneously, the rebellion of robots against humanity began.

Humans, who had long since entrusted military command to artificial intelligence, were virtually powerless to resist and were slaughtered in a very short time, with more than 90% of the population being killed.

The following year, artificial intelligence established its own regime and declared the concept as the first year of the Mechanical Era.

Now, in the 52nd year of the Mechanical Era, the mechanical empire built by artificial intelligence is hostile to all types of organic intelligent life. After years of modification, Earth is no longer suitable for biological reproduction. Apart from a few experimental samples, humans in the wild rely on physical modifications and special life support equipment to barely survive under the oppression of the mechanical army.

Main quest phase one: Escape the organic lab.

During this phase of the mission, any equipment or items carried by the reincarnator will be temporarily confiscated.

Mission Reward: 3000 points, return equipment and items, and unlock the second stage of the mission.

Task time limit: 24 hours

Defeating mechanical monsters will grant you kill rewards.

Mission Type: Dimensional Battlefield, where two races will enter the world simultaneously and carry out missions under the same conditions.

The two sides on the battlefield were the Chou tribe and the Shen tribe.

…………

According to the mission description, at the beginning, the Reincarnators will be locked up unarmed in the laboratory of the Mechanical Empire.

"According to the information provided by Zeus, the outdoors in this world is no longer suitable for human survival. If we escape the laboratory, even breathing will be a problem." Le Xinyi compared the mission information with the world intelligence: "A metal attribute of over 60 points, or an earth attribute of over 100 points, or the corresponding blood enhancement, can make one immune to environmental influences. Otherwise, if you want to move around outdoors, you must rely on equipment."

Then, Yue Xinyi looked at the group and asked, "Are there any of us who don't meet the standards?"

Matsumoto Fumino quietly raised her hand: "My metal attribute is only 53 points."

"Those with a metal attribute of 50 or more can survive for a short time, but will suffer chronic damage."

"I have a gas mask, a rare one," Lu Ren offered up a piece of equipment.

The group made preparations based on the information provided by Zeus. Soon the countdown reached zero, the flames ignited, and the altar returned to darkness...
