Chapter 12

"How do we deal with these two big guys? How could they be carried on the transport plane?" After tidying up some of the miscellaneous items thrown off the transport plane, Wang Fusheng scratched his head and asked, looking at the two missiles, each weighing around 100 kilograms and about 4 meters long.

Just now, the fat guy had a sudden impulse and took down these two missiles, and Wang Fusheng, also having a sudden impulse, didn't feel anything was wrong. But now, it seemed these two missiles were just a burden, and they couldn't be used at all. And for a long time in the future, they wouldn't be useful, because players now couldn't possibly have them, and using them would risk exposure.

"In the vast wasteland of the war ruins, besides the wandering zombies, there are also some large birds that have been mutated by radiation. These missiles are probably for dealing with those avian monsters. As for how to handle them, let's hide them for now. Just because we can't use them now doesn't mean we won't need them in the future. We have the map of this war ruin, so we can find them later." The fat guy also felt that these seemingly powerful heavy weapons were now a bit useless and said with a hint of helplessness.

"Let's do that. Come on, let's hide these things first. Then, record the data you just transmitted to the computer, destroy the computer, and we'll go to the car factory to get a car and leave as soon as possible." Although the risk was great compared to the gains, it was too late to regret now. What mattered was how to deal with the aftermath.

After recording the data from the computer, Wang Fusheng felt that although the journey wasn't too far, it wouldn't be peaceful, as the fat guy had said. The number of monsters in the wild wasn't high, and their strength wasn't great, but they weren't something Wang Fusheng and the fat guy, who had no weapons or equipment, could handle. However, they had obtained a good amount of water and food, so they wouldn't starve in the wasteland.

"Should we take those two missiles?" After loading the supplies onto the off-road vehicle, filling the fuel tank with diesel, and driving around the open area without finding any abnormalities, the fat guy got into the car, ready to head to the chosen war ruin. But thinking about the records of the monsters in the wasteland he had just read, the fat guy felt uneasy and said.

"The two missiles weigh about 200 kilograms. Although adding them wouldn't exceed the vehicle's load capacity, the increased weight would increase fuel consumption. We don't have much diesel, so we need to use it sparingly. Moreover, although launching the missiles only requires a simple launcher, they are long-range weapons. They are not reliable for dealing with the enemies we might encounter. Let's leave them here." Wang Fusheng shook his head and rejected the fat guy's suggestion.

Wang Fusheng, with his rich experience in wilderness survival and combat, knew that carrying the two missiles would only provide some psychological comfort to those ignorant of combat. They had no practical use and would only be a burden. According to the stolen data, although the wasteland was dangerous, as long as they had enough water and food, Wang Fusheng was confident they could reach their destination.

"Sit tight, don't worry. I'm here, so nothing will happen. Don't forget we have guns and grenades. Even if something does happen, it's just a game, and we can come back to life." Wang Fusheng patted the worried fat guy's shoulder to reassure him, and then the off-road vehicle roared out.

Wang Fusheng's reassurance seemed to have an effect, making the fat guy's face look a bit better. However, as the road conditions worsened, although there was no danger of the off-road vehicle flipping over, it began to shake and jolt violently, making the fat guy's face turn sour again.

Wang Fusheng's target was a war ruin 50 kilometers away. There, Wang Fusheng would help the fat guy earn points, and then both would advance to the rank of private and leave the war ruin to enter the safe base and start a new game.

Although the road to this war ruin was a bit dangerous and not as smooth as the road to another war ruin 70 kilometers away, Wang Fusheng still chose this one because they didn't have much diesel. It was impossible to travel a straight 70 kilometers, and reaching a war ruin 50 kilometers away in 100 kilometers was already a blessing, let alone a 70-kilometer one.

If Wang Fusheng were alone, he could choose to travel off-road, but now with the fat guy, he couldn't do that. So Wang Fusheng chose the more dangerous route, but with the off-road vehicle, their chances of survival and speed were much higher, so the success rate wasn't low.

"Have you figured out what that thing is?" After driving for an hour without encountering much danger, Wang Fusheng sighed in relief when he saw the fat guy open his eyes.

To thoroughly destroy the evidence of robbing the transport plane, the fat guy didn't even dare to take the hard drive of the computer, destroying everything. However, the data transmitted from the transport plane was extensive, and Wang Fusheng only remembered the map, leaving the rest to the fat guy to memorize quickly.

The fat guy's quick memorization was different from that of ordinary people. After quick memorization, ordinary people need to quickly say it out loud or they will forget. But the fat guy could store the memorized information in his brain and recall it like a file stored on a computer. However, he could only do this three times. After the third time, the fat guy could only remember the information that left an impression, and the rest would be forgotten like an ordinary person.

This was the reason the fat guy was randomly assigned to the same war ruin as Wang Fusheng. The fat guy's mental power was at the maximum value of 100, which amazed Wang Fusheng. Although Wang Fusheng's mental power was also over 90, the difference between 90+ and 100 was significant. The former was just excellent, while the latter was perfect. Wang Fusheng always believed that there was nothing perfect in the world, but the fat guy's mental power was perfect. This made Wang Fusheng very curious about how much of the fat guy's brain had been developed.

Wang Fusheng's strong mental power was the result of life-and-death experiences, enduring countless loneliness and pain, and developing a strong will. The fat guy, on the other hand, couldn't even shoot a gun and was so fat that he clearly hadn't suffered. Yet, his mental power was perfect, which could only mean that his brain development rate was at a monster level, making even geniuses look weak in comparison.

"I found it. This should be a skill. When you become a private and transfer to the safe base, you can learn a skill for one of the six professions. I don't know what it is specifically, but the permission to open it is at the private level. Once you reach the private level, you can insert it into your electronic device and learn it." The fat guy said in one breath.

"Is there any useful information in the data? For example, which profession is better, some maps that the system hasn't revealed and need players to explore, and which monsters drop high-quality equipment. Oh, and what does the F3 star mark on my sniper rifle mean?"

"Let me answer your last question first. In the 'Fate' game, weapons and equipment are divided into levels. F level is the second-to-last level, with G level being the lowest. Above F level are E, D, and up to SSS levels. Each level has 12 stars, which is the current classification of equipment. What's above that, I don't know because the data didn't include it.

As for the choice of profession, it depends on personal preference. Since the game has created these six professions, each has its strengths and weaknesses. There is no strongest or weakest, or it would affect the game balance. As for your monster-killing map and the issue of what monsters drop, there is some information in the data, which should help us make some money in the early stages. So, this robbery wasn't a loss." The fat guy rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Oh, right, we are in the wild now. There is a wilderness survival task on the electronic device. If we survive for 3 hours in the wild, more than 10 kilometers away from the war ruin, we can earn 50 points. Since we have to travel in the wild anyway, these points are free for the taking."

"Okay, noted." Wang Fusheng nodded, opened his electronic device, and indeed saw the [Wilderness Survival] task in his task list, so he accepted it. After accepting the task, Wang Fusheng remembered the energy stone in his backpack: "What is the 2nd-level energy stone for?"

"It's the energy core for assembling a mecha. One of the six professions is a mechanic. Mechanics can manufacture all the equipment used by the six professions, and the energy stone is used to assemble mechas for the mecha warrior profession. A 2nd-level energy stone, if you're lucky, can assemble an E-level or higher mecha, which is a relatively powerful weapon in the early stages. By the way, how many points do you have now?"

"Almost 800. That zombie king alone contributed 500 points, quite generous." Wang Fusheng smiled as he looked at his points.

"A bit more. My points are only from the system, and after advancing to private, I won't have much left. You should accumulate more points now. In the data I obtained, there is a design plan for assembling a mecha. After we advance to private, we can see if we can use points to buy some materials and assemble it."

Ding! Player Phantom successfully advanced to 1st-level private. He became the first player in the Chinese region to advance to 1st-level private, rewarded with 100 points.

Ding! Player Sky successfully advanced to 1st-level private. He became the second player in the Chinese region to advance to 1st-level private, rewarded with 50 points.

Ding! Player Bai Tian successfully advanced to 1st-level private. He became the third player in the Chinese region to advance to 1st-level private, rewarded with 30 points.

...

The system announcement was repeated 10 times, but only the top three received rewards. This was the time when players started advancing to the safe base, and some players began to truly enter the world of 'Fate'.

"The road conditions are too poor, and it will take about two hours to reach the designated war ruin. We need to stay in the wasteland for three hours, so we can advance around three and a half hours. Do you think we should advance as soon as we reach the war ruin, or wait a bit?" Hearing the news of players advancing, the fat guy didn't feel much, and he looked at Wang Fusheng and asked.

"Many players have calculated on the game forum. Including the 100 points for advancing to 1st-level private, 500 points are needed to have a good foundation in the new game world. I already have more than enough, so I'll advance first. As for buying materials to assemble the mecha, let's check the market first. After all, the information in these low-level war ruins is too limited." Wang Fusheng thought for a moment and said.

"Alright, we'll advance when we reach the new war ruin. There is some information about the main quest in the stolen data. After we get out, we'll do it first and gain some benefits." The fat guy nodded, but he had a smile that said, "I'm counting on you, and you'll protect me." Wang Fusheng didn't mind. The fat guy would definitely be useful in the future, and since they had a foundation for cooperation, Wang Fusheng didn't mind continuing to work with him.
