"Destroy the micro-flying insect nest, complete, and reward 200 merit points; destroy the small war insect nest, complete, and reward 500 merit points. Oh, there is also a supplementary task, discover and destroy the plasma insect nest..."
The beautiful female soldier behind the window couldn't help but look up at Alex. When she saw the other person's handsome face, she quickly lowered her head and said in a softer, sweeter voice, "The reward meritorious service is worth 2,000 points. A total of 2,700 points have been uploaded to the terminal system. , please keep working hard.”
"Didi..." A prompt message came from the watch terminal on his arm at the same time. Alex took a look and looked happy.
"5575", this is the value of all Alex's merit points. Only a quarter of the assessment time has passed, and he has completed more than half of the indicators.
This does not include the plasma core and part of the blue-level psionic energy crystal in his hand. After handing it in, he can pass the assessment now.
Of course, Alex is not such a short-sighted person. He also sees that this small resource star is a training ground for explorer students. Otherwise, with the size of this Zerg regiment, Steel Fortress can destroy it at any time.
For explorer students like Alex who are strong and have outstanding records, this is the best time for them to further widen the gap between them and other students.
Thinking of this, Alex marked out 50 points of merit, and smiled at the female soldier with a fair and clean face, "Beautiful lady, I think you will strictly keep my secret, right..."
A few minutes later, after Alex left the handover room, he couldn't help but touch the lip mark on the side of his neck. Although the beautiful female soldier was hot and open enough, he had no idea of trying her style.
After Alex came out, he turned around and entered the exchange room next to him. After coming out not long after, he already had a disc-shaped object in his hand that was purple in the upper part and silver in the lower part. The surface was a half button. On the purple round crystal, you can vaguely see the flashing electric light inside. The entire lower body is made of Newman alloy that conducts energy. The clamping arm extending from the bottom can fit perfectly into the arm muscles.
Next, Alex non-stop replenished a large amount of food, water and stockpiled ammunition. In order to avoid attracting the attention of others, he purchased a little too much and did not use the space in the void bag.
After completing these preparations, Alex hid the exchanged disc-shaped item under his windbreaker and came to the mission hall.
After not seeing each other for several months, the mission hall seemed deserted and deserted. Of course, this was also because most people were outside performing missions.
The momentum of the scattered students in the hall has changed a lot compared to a few months ago. This is an inevitable transformation after fighting with the Zerg. The students who can be retained now have more or less strength. .
Alex glanced at the mission screen, quickly made a choice, and turned to leave.
half year later……
Suddenly, there was a violent vibration on the tawny ground. A tank bug, covered in paint and with a carapace on its back as if a piece of it had been chopped off, had red eyes and struck out its claws at the man in front of it as if it was crazy. .
"Defense mode." With a faint voice, the man stretched out an arm. On the arm was an oval purple crystal. A purple light curtain emitted from the inside of the crystal, quickly forming an inverted triangular current shield in front of the arm. Facing the double pincers.
"Bilibili clatter..." The double claws and the shield collided hard, and the current shield suddenly dented inward, but that was the end, only a sizzling sound was heard in the air. The next moment, a powerful The energy exploded suddenly, stirring up dust and sand all over the sky.
Faintly, a figure suddenly shot out backwards, drawing two long marks on the ground, and smashed a huge boulder behind it into pieces with a "boom".
Standing on the ground with one arm, the figure looked up, and it turned out to be Alex.
Not far away, the Tank Bug's huge body flashed with lightning, and large amounts of blood poured out from various wounds without any expense.

"The last struggle? Then go to hell!" At the final verdict, Alex's eyes were cold, and the purple crystal on his arm made a rapid "buzzing" sound, and a purple sword-shaped beam was generated from scratch. .
"Attack mode...go! Thunder God Sword!"
The next moment, the purple sword energy penetrated the space, and the terrifying power instantly penetrated the tank bug from head to tail. The remaining power continued unabated, and a deep trench a hundred meters long spread out behind it.
The huge tank bug collapsed, and next to this tank bug, two other smaller tank bugs had been dead for a long time.
"It's over." Alex breathed a sigh of relief and touched the surface of the purple crystal with a slightly happy expression. This blow consumed about one-third of his magnetic field power, but its power was still very impressive. satisfied.
The Thunder God Sword, a satellite-level low-level exclusive weapon, together with four other types of weapons, the Frost Crack Sword, the Burning Flame Sword, the Shadow Sword, and the Divine Light Sword. Although they are only entry-level equipment, they can improve a junior like Alex. The explorer's combat power is 30%, and it also has two combat modes: defense and attack, as well as several auxiliary modes to switch, which is very cost-effective.
Of course, the Thunder God Sword can also be said to be one of the items with the highest exchange value in Base Three. The exchange price of up to 10,000 merit points is beyond the reach of most people. In order to redeem it, Alex did not have enough points, so he only Can take out that precious plasma core.
However, it was all worth it. In just a few months, Alex's accumulated merit points had already exceeded the 10,000 mark and were moving towards a value of 20,000.
Alex stood silently for a moment, then suddenly turned to a boulder not far away with cold eyes, and shouted coldly: "Who is it!"
There was silence in the air. After a while, a soft and slightly embarrassed voice came from behind the boulder: "Naqisi, I told you that you shouldn't hide."
"I didn't expect his senses to be so sensitive. We would be discovered even if we were holding our breath like this!" Another crisp and lively voice retorted.
While talking, two boys and girls walked out from behind the boulder.
Among them, the young man with slightly longer black hair and a handsome appearance rubbed the back of his head and laughed dryly: "Sorry, sorry, we just happened to pass by and saw you fighting. We hid in order to avoid misunderstanding. Please forgive me!"
After saying that, he bowed deeply.
"It's you." Alex was slightly surprised. The light of the Thunder God Sword on his arm gradually faded, and he recognized that the man and woman were the boy with two swords and the rapier swordswoman who performed amazingly on the day of the breakout.
"Ah! I recognize you!" The girl with long chestnut hair, stunning appearance, and a white swordsman outfit next to the boy suddenly pointed at Alex and shouted, "You were the one who transformed into the 'Iron Knight' that day. Guy, I didn’t expect you to be so strong.”
"Don't point at others like that, it's very rude... Naqisi." The boy with two swords whispered quickly. While speaking, he glanced at Alex secretly, showing an apologetic expression.
"Yes, I was the Iron Knight that day." Alex admitted simply and put away the Thunder God Sword. He saw that the young man and woman had good personalities and let go of his guard. "No one stipulates that you have to show your full strength. Isn’t it?”
"Hmm, you're right. It's much more pleasing to the eye than those hypocritical guys." The chestnut-haired girl tilted her head and said with emotion, "But you are also really strong. It was so easy to kill three tank bugs by myself."
In response, Alex just smiled lightly and said nothing.
The chestnut-haired girl named Naqisi looked at Alex carefully and suddenly asked: "Are you interested in cooperating with us? I know the location of a big guy, because Kirito-kun and I can't be sure to get it." I’ll ask someone for help next time.”
"Oh, what big guy?" Alex originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought about the day of the breakout. The strength shown by these two people was not necessarily much weaker than that of Prince Xiulize. Even they said The difficult guy actually aroused his interest.
Naqisi smiled slightly, as if she had already guessed that Alex would say this, and she smiled without any concealment and said: "It's a Zerg warlord, but there are two Tiger Leaping Bugs guarding it, and there are dozens of others. Guarded by sword-footed insects and flying insects."
When Alex heard this, he immediately understood. No wonder he was a big guy. Zerg played a commander role in the Zerg army and was rarely seen.
However, it is extremely difficult to deal with just one Zerg warlord, not to mention the two Tiger Leap Insects that are guarding them. This Tiger Leap Insect is an advanced unit of the Saber-footed Insect. It has extremely strong melee capabilities and can be used by ordinary students one on one. Neither is its opponent.
Alex's eyes couldn't help but gleam as he secretly considered the pros and cons.
"How's it going! Are you interested? You get 40% of the final harvest, and the remaining 60% will be shared between Tongmu-kun and I." Seeing that Alex didn't respond for a long time, Naqise said with a slightly nervous expression.
Alex thought for a while and finally agreed to the other party's invitation, "In that case, let me see how powerful the Zerg Warlord is!"
The boy and girl were overjoyed when they heard this and looked at each other. Naqisi smiled and said: "You are very welcome! With you here, I am more confident in this operation."
…
A week later, three people were lying quietly on a low hill a few miles away, carefully observing a small mine in the distance.
A dark hole was etched by the acid on the ground. It was unknown how many meters deep it was. A green carpet covered with mucus and tumors completely covered the area, looking like a piece of dirty green cloth.
At the entrance, a large number of engineer insects came in and out, mining a purple ore from the hole.
Next to them, several gray paste-like creatures were swallowing pieces of purple ore. After a while, they spit out the finished green-grade irregular-shaped psionic crystals again.
The nether energy crystals that were finally excavated formed a pile of hills, glowing green on the ground.
