Introduction to the shopping version!

Diary: In the first year, I woke up at the end of humanity’s doomsday. A group of humanoids thought I was the last glory and were willing to join my army.

Diary: In the second year, my humanoid and I successfully began to explore the star sea. The next star sector is the Koprulu sector? .. A bug, a race that looks like humans, and a high-tech alien with braids? Do you guys play StarCraft?

Diary: In the third year, for some unknown reason, a newly discovered civilization in the neighboring galaxy condemned me and declared me their enemy.

Diary: In the tenth year, my relationship with the neighboring galaxy has suddenly improved. Now we are discussing how to pay the 'hire fee' for the fleet I help them 'patrol' the capital star.

Diary: In the Nth year, my research team told me that the fox cry of "Galaxy Rise, Human King" has been heard from the surrounding galaxies.

Volume 1: NieR: Automata: Out-of-Control Servant

Chapter 1: EDF will not abandon anyone

Headquarters.

"Sky Fury Squad, copy and paste! Sky Fury Squad, copy and paste!"

The liaison officer shouted in vain over and over again, trying to call back the team that had lost contact.

"Please, anyone! Just write back!"

She had been on this call for over half an hour, and this might be her last attempt at contact.

With the damn alien invasion of Earth almost over a year ago, the disappearance of entire units in the EDF (Earth Defense Force) has become commonplace.

The real reason why the liaisons have been persistent is because the Sky Fury Squad is composed entirely of elite warriors, the aces among humans.

They have been carrying out the most important and dangerous missions in Asia.

Sometimes, in order to ensure that their mission is carried out normally, the entire war zone will cooperate.

With such treatment, they naturally assumed that they were directly under the EDF headquarters, and now that the war situation was tense, they were equipped with special information liaison personnel to facilitate issuing orders to them.

Judging from the current loss of contact, humanity may have to eliminate another ace member of its arsenal.

With this thought in mind, the silent liaison officer prepared to take off her headphones. As the exclusive liaison officer of the Sky Team, she had the responsibility to report the latest movements to the commander-in-chief, even if it was... missing.

However, like a joke, when she placed her hands on both sides of the headphones, the sound of the blasting microphone echoed in her ears.

As the sound effect faded, the sound of a person's breathing was heard.

This turn of events made her purse her lips for a moment, with a hint of surprise on her face.

After the surprise, she reacted quickly, stretched out her slender fingers and pressed the call button with trembling hands.

"Sky Fury Team, can you hear me? Got it, please reply!"

"Can you hear...get out of here!"

A deep male voice came from the headset first, but he didn't finish a complete sentence before it turned into a loud shout.

The liaison officer then heard the rough sound of gas being ejected from the power armor and the cutting sound of a sharp blade piercing into some kind of shell.

This sound lasted for more than ten seconds. After a "bang" sound, something heavy fell to the ground, and then the male voice came again.

"Huh—I can hear it."

"Excellent, soldier, please state your identity."

This was definitely not the voice of the original Sky Fury captain. The liaison officer, who had many experiences of cooperation, had some kind of judgment in his mind.

"Can't your life detection device display my information?!"

"No, your signals disappeared shortly after entering the Yellowstone Forest. Perhaps there's something shielding the magnetic field there."

She expressed her speculation carefully.

But it appears the person she was talking to had a different opinion.

"There's no magnetic field shielding. I think some of my equipment was damaged during the previous battle... My communication device just had an emergency repair."

Although the other party said this, the information and conclusions in it made the liaison officer feel cold in his heart.

The signal blocking option was removed, which almost foreshadowed the wrath of the sky. The human ace team was completely wiped out in an instant!

The only one on the call right now may be the one left among all the team members.

But maybe there is not enough time for her to digest all the information slowly now.

"I'm a corporal from the Sky Fury Squad, soldier code J-10086."

As the soldier's code was reported, the sound of the liaison officer's fingers tapping on the keyboard could be heard quickly.

Soon the sound stopped.

Because the information she needed was already in front of her screen.

Name: Yan Luo.

Type of soldier: Sword soldiers.

Rank: Corporal.

Resume: ....

"Corporal Yan Luo... please report the situation. Are there any other people? I mean... in the same situation as you..."

She did not ask about the progress of the mission, as the current situation almost silently told the outcome.

The team's organization was completely disbanded, which made it impossible to complete the original mission.

"Mission completed, there's no one else."

"what?"

The contact person expressed disbelief and doubt.

Yan Luo certainly knew what she was wondering about. He took a deep breath and continued speaking through a communication device.

"Mission accomplished. All the teleportation devices in the forest have been destroyed."

The words paused here.

This made the contact person unsure whether to be surprised or sad.

The surprising thing is that the mission was completed, which greatly facilitated the next battle. The sad thing is that the team has been essentially eliminated.

This made her, who had been with the team many times, not know how to deal with it.

She quickly composed herself.

"Understood. Thank you. I will arrange a retreat route and ground support for you..."

"no need."

"what?"

She suspected she might have heard wrongly.

But the voice coming from the other side was so decisive.

"Huh—I said no." Yan Luo's breathing was so heavy that it was barely audible through the headset. "I'm surrounded by thousands of ants, spiders, and wasps, along with several Alpha and Beta class bugs. How many people are you planning to send?"

Let’s not talk about the ants and wasps for now. These are biological weapons from the alien invasion. Their appearance and characteristics are just like their names, except that they are only a few meters tall. As for Alpha and Beta... they are enlarged versions that are dozens of meters tall, giant monsters.

Just to destroy them would require a medium to large-scale battle. Is it worth launching such a large-scale offensive just for the retreat of one person?

It was obvious that the liaison officer didn't know how to balance the two, and she fell silent.

Yan Luo had some expectations about this situation, and he said:

"That's why I said no."

"You mean..." Her voice hesitated, "that we give up on you?"

"Yes."

"No, we ed..."

"Enough!" Yan Luo interrupted her and began to speak to himself: "I know what you want to say. EDF will not give up on anyone, right?"

"Listen, little girl! There's nothing in this world that no one can't give up! Not to mention making choices that only lead to meaningless sacrifices!

Instead of sacrificing hundreds of people in exchange for one of my own, you should keep them alive and continue to fight for the future of mankind.

And I've had enough of this fucked-up world! Dead people! Dead people! Still dead people! Enough! Just let me die here in peace and take a few of those damned idiots with me!

"..."

"..." The channel went silent for a moment. Perhaps realizing his hysterical outburst had caused some confusion on the other end, Yan Luo added something. "Sorry for saying so much useless nonsense. Let's end this communication so you can report back."

Yan Luo wanted to end the call quickly, but...the contact person seemed to have mustered up some courage.

"First of all, I'm not a little girl."

"what?"

"Because the information shows that I am the same age as you. Secondly... please come back alive. Dongyi Company still owes you endorsement fees."

"Huh? You... ha!" Yan Luo chuckled into the communication. "Besides my teammates, there are actually people complaining about this joke. Fine, fine, considering that Dongyi Company owes me, I'll struggle and see if I can fight my way out. I just happened to kill an Alpha, so I'll ask them if they need me to take a leg back for promotion."

"You can't drag something this big back, right?!"

"That's right..." He sighed. "Then please help me request air support. Forget about ground support! Ammunition, water, food, etc. Please airdrop some, thank you."

And then there is this conclusion.

"Forget it, no need for airdrops, here they come, wish me luck."

Communication ends..

"Good luck," she replied softly.

The liaison officer then took off her headphones and turned around. She needed to report to the commander-in-chief immediately in order to get some useful support for the last survivor of the team.

However, when she just stood up, she saw a middle-aged man standing in front of her.

The military rank insignia on his shoulders all reveal his identity.

"commander?"

"I heard everything... I'll send out air strikes and armed reconnaissance by the Death Squad. That forest... is a very important battlefield. We need to find out the specific situation."

The Death Squad, another ace unit, this is more of a rescue mission than a reconnaissance operation.

As the commander-in-chief of EDF, he does need to make some overall decisions, but...EDF will never give up on anyone.

Chapter 2: High EQ: We have an extra support!

"Yan Luo! Yan Luo! This time, the number of attention points is 2,000! Someone important must have noticed you!"

A slightly excited and energetic girl's voice sounded in Yan Luo's mind. This was his system.

As for the origin of the system, I won’t go into too much detail, as it’s all part of the old story about time travelers.

"It sounds like a lot." Yan Luo replied perfunctorily.

This may be the largest income expenditure he has ever had since he came into this world.

His system is an auxiliary system that generates income by harvesting the popularity of celebrities. As long as others know him and have strong feelings for him, they can bring him system points called attention points.

These points can be used to exchange for "goods" in the system, including but not limited to talents, skills, and physical objects. However, the positioning of this system is a bit problematic and is more inclined towards life.

The so-called mall is full of all kinds of stuff, such as singing skills, photography knowledge, fishing techniques, etc.

It actually sounds quite useful, but it is of no help to Yan Luo's current situation.

If he traveled to a world as peaceful and harmonious as the daily life in anime, then he might be able to rely on this system to become a live broadcast star or something like that.

However, he traveled to an era of war.

Yes, this is edf5, a game he once played. It is a world where the earth is invaded by aliens and human society and order are on the verge of collapse.

Auxiliary systems for life and entertainment are of no use here. Humans, who are living in danger from day to day, no longer care about matters other than survival.

So his system has become a complete waste.

Having said that, his system actually has some other uses.
