Chapter 1 Li Ang

Li Ang greeted Chichai and Wang Congshan, then returned to the outer sea of Yin City and entered the underwater Zerg nest to listen to the report.

The down-and-out young master who had lost his right to inherit the title of Duke of Atoka due to an accident, Jones Good, had sailed the four-masted Atoka into the harbor.

Many people gathered on the shore of the harbor, looking at the many scars on the Atoka that were obviously caused by sea beast attacks, and exclaimed in shock.

According to Jones Good's original plan, the spices, silk, palm oil, and other materials loaded on the ship would be transported to different companies according to the contract after arriving at the port, earning a lot of money.

But now, the plan has changed.

Jones Good and the captain of the Atoka boarded the shore via the gangway extending from the deck,

and met the port affairs officer of the New World.

The background of the Door World is similar to the Age of Discovery in the real world.

Any citizen who encounters a sea beast attack has the responsibility and obligation

to report to the port affairs officer when, where, and on which route they were attacked by which sea beast.

The port affairs officer will then report to the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Maritime Bureau, and the Imperial Navy,

so that the Imperial Navy can accurately grasp the sea beast activity on the route and ensure smooth passage.

According to Jones Good and the captain,

they were attacked by sea beasts while sailing at sea.

The captain and crew fought bravely and hit the sea beast's throat with a harpoon turret, repelling the latter.

When the sea beast fled, it dropped some corrosion-resistant wooden boxes containing gold and silver products and precious porcelain from its throat.

It was speculated that it might have been accidentally swallowed by the cold-blooded sea beast when it swallowed modern shipwrecks at the bottom of the sea.

Modern ships on the Door World do use indestructible wooden boxes to load valuables—there have been similar cases in history of killing sea beasts and seizing treasures from their bellies.

Jones Good's legendary experience quickly spread throughout this small town in the New World.

Everyone, including the port affairs officer, looked at this lucky man with envy and jealousy—imperial law only has regulations on the salvage of cultural relics in near-sea areas, and any treasures salvaged on the high seas belong to the discoverer.

The value of the treasures discovered by Jones Good far exceeded the income of the Atoka from ten ocean trade voyages on the route.

However, Jones Good did an incredible thing in the envious eyes of everyone—he publicly declared that he would not personally own these treasures,

but would donate all the treasures to the Imperial Museum and the royal family.

Because among these treasures, there was a lost prince's crown from the previous dynasty, which was very likely left behind by the prince of the previous dynasty who went to other countries to avoid the war with the current empire, but encountered difficulties at sea.

The empire of the Door World does not have the saying that "the sword of the previous dynasty cuts the officials of the current dynasty" or any taboos.

A treasure is a treasure.

The lost royal equipment of the previous dynasty can better show the strength of the empire.

In fact, Jones Good was not lying.

The treasures loaded on the Atoka were indeed the loads of shipwrecks found by the Zerg nest at the bottom of the sea.

In Jones Good's eyes, that crown was indeed an artifact of the previous dynasty.

According to the plan of the Zerg nest,

with the help of the Zerg nest, Jones Good will soon regain wealth, reputation, and power, and will be able to return to the imperial capital again with the opportunity to offer the crown, contact the upper echelons of the empire,

find out the truth about his father's treason, clear his father's name,

avenge his uncle who seized the family property, and put him in jail.

And he himself will regain his status as a noble son and eventually win the heart of the beauty,

making the Duke's daughter who regretted and abandoned him regret it.

This "Duke's Revenge" is indeed so refreshing,

but the reason why the Zerg nest does this is just to allow Jones Good to achieve class leap quickly in a reasonable and legal name.

Whether he is the Count of Monte Cristo or the Great Gatsby,

he must quickly gain reputation and wealth so as to approach the power class of the imperial capital.

The Door World has a vast area and abundant biological resources.

The Zerg nest does not actually need to parasitize and control so many mortals.

It only needs to erode some of the imperial noble class, religious people, and elite scholars,

and find out from them whether there are real gods behind the polytheistic sects.

Three months.

According to the calculations of the Zerg nest brain worms, in three months,

the Zerg nest will be able to advance its erosion to the high-level officials of all countries on all continents of the world, and find out the truth about the sects.

Jones Good's "Duke's Revenge"

can, and can only, be refreshing for three months.

Li Ang coldly watched Jones Good's superb acting skills in the picture,

listening to the Zerg nest brain worms deducing and calculating the various variables that may occur in the plan.

In the Zerg nest's longer-term plan, Jones Good's personal Long Aotian-style love-hate and family honor and disgrace are just insignificant episodes.

"Leave it to you."

Li Ang said casually, and then left the trench Zerg nest in the Zerg nest brain worms' kowtows and farewells, returned to the outer sea of Yin City, and logged into the game square, went to the Immaculate Furnace shop, and met Mule.

Compared with the last meeting, Mule's mental state was much better. I don't know if he had solved some mental problem. As soon as he met Li Ang, he smiled and said, "It's rare."

Li Ang raised his eyebrows, "What's rare?"

Mule grinned and said, "It's rare to see you not wearing a dragon-headed white coat."

"Oh, that."

Li Ang, wearing casual clothes, waved his hand casually, "I came in a hurry and didn't have time to change.

Did you bring what I wanted?"

"It's all here."

Mule nodded, took out a huge silver metal box from the void, and smashed it on the counter of the Immaculate Furnace shop, "Take a look, is there anything missing."

The metal box brought by Mule, like the [Automated Pet Feeding Box], has a space folding function,

but the former is more advanced,

able to hold different levels of extraordinary items and list them in categories.

The metal box was filled with a dazzling array of items,

including ordinary items from the real world,

such as rifles, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, bulletproof vests, antibiotics, drones, compressed biscuits, night vision devices, radiation suits, telescopes, etc.

There are also extraordinary items,

magic potions, first aid potions, swords, wands, talismans, magic weapons, laser swords, gene potions, buff dishes...

The level of quality is not very high, but there are too many types.

"I almost moved half of the black market,"

Mule shook his head helplessly, and handed a long list to Li Ang, "These things are enough to fight a modern war against any small country in the real world.

You bought so many things, you don't want to form a mercenary group, do you?"

Mule was of course joking. Li Ang glanced at the list and said casually with a smile: "Mercenary groups are too slow,

A modern war is enough for me to go for five minutes.

This is your reward."

"So much?"

Mule raised his eyebrows when he saw the transfer number, and shook his head enviously: "So it's so profitable to open a shop? Sure enough, working to the end is nothing."

"Ha."

Li Ang chatted with Mule with a smile. The chaos caused by the American City Building made more people worry about their future destiny.

Many middle and low-level extraordinary people joined Liu Wudai's Ark Project,

and also gave Mule more resources.

Mule was busy with work, and after chatting for a few words, he logged out of the game square.

Li Ang also exited the square, took a lot of supplies, and returned to the real world.

Not long ago, he went to West Asia through Mule's channels to solve an abnormal incident, completed a regular task, and earned enough experience points.

His personal level reached Lv27, which met the requirements for equipping the [Terminal Vending Machine].

And now, the dazzling array of items Li Ang purchased from Mule has also arrived, and it is time to use this vending machine that claims to be able to conduct cross-border transactions.

He plugged the vending machine's power cord into the socket of the cruise ship cabin. The liquid crystal screen on the surface of the vending machine lit up, showing the welcome subtitles and a new prompt.

[For first use, please place your palm on the coordinate recorder]

Coordinate locator?

Li Ang looked at the eight-ring password lock diagonally below the LCD screen, and put his hand on the password lock.

With a "click" sound,

the eight-ring password lock turned on its own, and the rotation speed gradually increased, stopping twice every few seconds.

Forming two eight-digit numbers,

、；

、0；

...

Li Ang recorded all the numbers that had stopped,

and finally, the password lock stopped at 00000000, 00000000.

And in his mind, there were also instructions for using these numbers - every two eight-digit numbers, when combined together, corresponded to the coordinates of a world,

the numbers that had appeared before were all the world coordinates of the script tasks that Li Ang had previously experienced.

He needs to turn the password lock once first, and after it is reset, turn the password lock once again to get two sets of eight-digit numbers, and then he can enter that world.

As for 00000000, 00000000, it is the coordinates of the earth.

"According to the maximum value, the maximum coordinate of this password lock is 、,

That is to say, the terminal vending machine can theoretically reach so many worlds at most?

Or, there are so many world coordinates theoretically existing in the terminal vending machine, and most of them are worthless."

Li Ang narrowed his eyes and thought: "Okay, let me recall.

The script tasks I have experienced before, which are particularly valuable,

are the planet where the deep-sea giant beast is located,

the box world suspected to be Su Ni Sheng's previous life,

the high-dimensional hacking script world simulated by computers and full of game tasks.

The Gu Han Temple script task world where I first met Chichai, which is suspected to be ancient Earth, may also be one.

In addition, there are Abnormal Fairy Tales,

and the world of alchemists..."

Since the password lock only provided numbers and did not explain which planet these numbers corresponded to,

Li Ang thought for a while,

and chose to enter the last number that appeared.

He stepped forward and turned the password dial.

With a "click" sound, the password dial was fixed in place,

and a white light lit up on the liquid crystal screen.

Li Ang's consciousness instantly connected to the terminal vending machine.

His body was still standing in the first-class cabin of the Longqing cruise ship, facing the terminal vending machine.

What Li Ang felt should be the projection of the terminal vending machine in another world - the vending machine had completed the transmission and was on the top of a remote mountain covered with dense forests.

"This is..."

Li Ang, like the legendary staff member shrinking in the vending machine, used the LCD panel of the terminal vending machine as his eyes and looked around.

The terminal vending machine itself does not have any attack or movement capabilities, nor can it carry Li Ang's power to perform any actions beyond the vending machine's own functions.

"Gah, gah--"

A sharp and ear-piercing cry sounded in mid-air.

Li Ang looked up at the sky through the screen of the vending machine and saw a deformed bat with an unusually large wingspan flying in the sky.

It had as many as eight tails, and the end of each tail was covered with barbs, like foxtail grass.

And behind the bat, a giant, hairless vulture covered with pink spots was flying, equally ugly,

seemingly preying on the deformed bat in front.

"Click!"

The hairless vulture suddenly shook its wings and suddenly accelerated, biting the tail of the flying bat in front of it, directly crushing the bat's lower body, and blood splattered everywhere.

The bat screamed, turned around, and tried to scratch and hurt the vulture with its claws,

but the latter's skin was exceptionally rough and thick, completely blocking the bat's futile struggle.

The hunting process lasted only a few seconds, and the giant vulture completely killed the bat.

It opened its mouth as wide as a snake, swallowing the entire bat into its belly.

Its seemingly turbid but sharp eyes seemed to notice the terminal vending machine on the top of the mountain below, which was particularly abrupt,

and swooped down directly, pouncing towards the terminal vending machine.

"..."

Li Ang narrowed his eyes. If he were here in person, he could erase the vulture's consciousness with just a look, causing the latter to fall directly to the ground.

However, the terminal vending machine itself does not have any counterattack power, and if it is destroyed, it may cause damage to himself.

Li Ang immediately followed the hint in the dark,

withdrew his consciousness from the terminal vending machine, and returned to the real world.

At the moment of returning,

Li Ang's telepathy with the vending machine also dissipated. The vulture-like creature that gradually magnified on the liquid crystal screen also disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

"That was... the mutated world of the Biological Mother Matrix, right?"

Li Ang said silently: "That world was occupied by mutated creatures because of the appearance of the Biological Mother Matrix.

I didn't expect that after I took away the Biological Mother Matrix, the mutated creatures still exist."

He looked at his spiritual power slot and found that the short transmission had consumed nearly 500 points of spiritual power value.

"The transmission only lasted for less than a minute, and there were no transactions. These 500 points of spiritual power value should be the cost of the transmission itself.

If I encounter humanoid creatures who are rational enough to communicate and conduct transactions, it may consume more spiritual power."

Li Ang pondered for a while and quickly made a decision, randomly turning the password dial to see if he could reach a random world that he had never been to before.
