"Seeing you so worried, are you not satisfied with the spoils of war?" Nan Guo de Xue asked, driving and looking at the road ahead.
"No, I'm very satisfied. It's just that opponents like Stormwind Gang will only be small fry from now on. There's nothing to be particularly happy about winning," Lu Yuan said honestly.
The next opponents are Oasis City and Apollo. These two are not just slightly stronger than Stormwind Gang; moreover, they have a cooperative relationship.
"By the way, do you have any ideas about the use of that supercomputer?" he asked Nan Guo de Xue.
She thought for a moment, then softly spoke six words.
"Develop player skills."
"Develop skills?"
Lu Yuan was very interested in this suggestion.
"Yes," Nan Guo de Xue nodded. "An RPG growth system without skills and builds always feels like something is missing, doesn't it? I've looked at the code for the hibernation pods. Currently, it only focuses on improving the six basic attributes, which is a general type of genetic modification. It has no drawbacks, but also no unique features."
She explained in her characteristic cool and clear tone.
Lu Yuan: "Indeed."
"But we have now accumulated enough combat experience to analyze employees' combat characteristics from recordings, thus providing more targeted genetic modification and granting active or passive skills."
"This kind of genetic modification is deeper and more complex, requiring possibly hundreds or even thousands of times the computing power we have now. Fortunately, we found that supercomputer; otherwise, it would be completely unmanageable."
Hmm...
This is a legitimate use.
"Then you will be in charge of this task. You can ask Butler for assistance if it's not busy," Lu Yuan said.
"Okay, then I think we can solicit everyone's opinions in advance. If they can get the abilities they like, it will be a very happy thing."
"Good idea!"
..........
Butler took less than 1 second to watch all the tactical helmet recordings accumulated over the past few weeks and tallied everyone's honor points.
The next morning, Earth time, Lu Yuan posted the results in the player community. The views quickly soared, and the cloud players seemed particularly interested in this data.
The player with the highest honor points, as expected, was Guo Li Cheng, with a whopping 1880 points, killing 86 enemies, including a power armor elite.
Caoyuan followed closely with 1550 honor points. Like Guo Li Cheng, he hadn't destroyed any vehicles, but excelled in the sheer number of infantry killed.
Third place, Ying Ji Chang Kong, 1490 points. Nothing to say, FPV master, destroyed a large number of enemy vehicles and bunkers from the air, all high-value targets.
Fourth place, Jubian, the leader among intelligence-type players. Although he was physically weak and his marksmanship was average, with a pulse laser cannon, he achieved a record of 5 propeller fighters, one wheeled vehicle, one tank, and three infantry fighting vehicles, earning 1350 points.
Fifth place was somewhat unexpected: Wo Yao Chi Dan Ta, the first player to experience death. She destroyed many vehicles with an anti-tank rifle, earning 1170 points.
The remaining 20 players had honor points below 1000, with the lowest being 710 points.
Butler AI, according to Lu Yuan's instructions, also quantified the production capacity. A basic power armor corresponded to 1200 honor points, an armored all-terrain vehicle to 550 points, and a military exoskeleton to 280 points.
There was one product whose production capacity consumption far exceeded that of power armor: the reconnaissance drone whose blueprint was obtained not long ago. It has now been renamed "hummingbird" and is worth 3000 honor points.
Ying Ji Chang Kong was posting in the community, calling on all pilot players to pool their honor points to exchange for a "hummingbird" and take turns flying it.
Players were allowed to lend honor points to each other and also allowed to pool their honor points to buy something as a group.
In addition, some players who contributed ideas to combat operations, such as Bei Hai Xian Yu, received extra experience points from staff work.
After these results were released, community users immediately erupted into a fierce debate over the topic of "Who is the strongest player in a one-on-one fight?"
Some believed it was Guo Li Cheng.
Another part felt that Caoyuan limited his performance for the sake of the overall situation, and he didn't even wear an exoskeleton when defending Red Iron Town. If he had full equipment and focused on killing enemies, his honor points would surely surpass Guo Li Cheng.
Ye Xing's true fans believed that Ye Xing, who didn't do reconnaissance and fully participated in combat, could easily boost his honor to 3000 or even 4000.
A small number of players also believed that Jubian, who had set up his laser cannon in advance, was invincible, but this view didn't receive much support, as the size and weight of the laser cannon were not suitable for single-person carrying.
Several other posts were also lively.
A dozen cloud players who were passionate about the background setting were arguing about the criteria for judging "dangerous AI."
Some believed the standard was "whether it would fight for the interests of its own kind," while others believed it was "whether it would lie to humans" or "whether it considered AI superior to humans."
No one could convince anyone else.
Someone also opened a dedicated post to express the shock brought by Executive Officer gaining the highest authority to open the secret vault.
"That scene, that feeling! It was like restarting a sealed piece of history!"
"Yes, I underestimated the importance of the Executive Officer identity before. Actually, if you think about it carefully, according to the setting, he was quite a figure in the entire history of humanity."
"Definitely. Cangyuan is at least the level of a corporation like Arasaka in Cyberpunk 2077. The Executive Officer of such a corporation is roughly equivalent to a prime minister of a country."
"No, no, no, I actually think that compared to a title like prime minister, being the person in charge of humanity's first interstellar voyage is much cooler!"
"Oh right, I almost forgot about that... That is indeed cool."
"Are there similar Cangyuan secret rooms on other planets in the universe? According to the same protocol, the Executive Officer should also be able to open them with the highest authority, right?"
"Very likely!"
Lu Yuan smiled and closed the community page.
It's about time.
It's now 1:10 PM, and it's almost been 60 days since he crossed over to this universe.
As the countdown finished, the system prompted that Lu Yuan had completed a main quest.
【Main Quest Completed: Survival V, survived for two months, gained 80 exchange points.】
This time, the next stage of the quest didn't appear; instead, a brand new main quest appeared!
【Main Quest Activated: Phoenix Nirvana】
【Quest Description: Expand Cangyuan's business to the scale of a small space development company and officially return to the stage of history!】
【Quest Goal: Achieve all of the following conditions】
【Number of Employees: 500; Current: 25】
【Control Range: 100; Current: 32 (Main Camp 20 + Branch Bases 12)】
【Prestige: 100; Current: 41】
【Industrial Strength: 100; Current: 15】
【Military Strength: 100; Current: 9】
【Number of Outer Space Strongholds: 1; Current: 0】
It seems that the three quest lines of 【Survival】, 【Development】, and 【Construction】 only have five stages. After advancing any of these quest lines to the final stage, the 【Phoenix Nirvana】 quest, equivalent to a "final exam," will be activated.
The 【Development】 quest line, aimed at increasing power generation, still has the fourth and fifth stages to complete, which will yield 140 exchange vouchers upon completion.
The 【Construction】 quest line, aimed at increasing the number of camp personnel, only has the final stage left, which will yield 80 exchange vouchers upon completion.
After that, it will likely take a considerable amount of effort to achieve all six requirements of 【Phoenix Nirvana】.
Lu Yuan currently has 133 exchange vouchers, plus the 220 points he hopes to get soon, for a total of 353 points, which is still enough to buy quite a few good things.
"By the way, since the main quest has progressed to the next stage, the system store should also have new items, right?"
