“Before going to the warehouse, it’s best to make thorough preparations,” Captain Dijia scanned Bai Lixin and Li Cangshan back and forth. “You can’t go dressed like this. You’ll be eaten by space creatures as soon as you enter the warehouse.”
“There are fifteen people in the hall. Are they your companions?”
Li Cangshan nodded. “Yes, we formed a team temporarily, and I’m the captain.”
Captain Dijia’s eyes flashed slightly. “Then let’s take them with us. The more people, the better chance of success. I’ll take you to the armory where you can find the equipment you need.”
As Dijia spoke, he walked to the door first, and when leaving, he didn’t forget to take Bai Lixin, who was silent beside him.
Li Cangshan followed behind, feeling embarrassed as he scratched his ear. “Um, Captain, sorry to say, but we’ve already been inside the armory. We took some weapons from there.”
The man glanced at Li Cangshan from the corner of his eye. “What kind of armory is that? It’s just a recycling bin for discarded weapons. If the real armory were that easy to open, my spaceship would have turned into a tourist ship.”
Li Cangshan subconsciously looked down at the laser gun in his hand. “…”
‘A recycling bin for discarded weapons?
Such a useful laser gun can only be regarded as a waste product?! Shock!’
“The laser guns you’re holding are antiques from a hundred years ago. I encountered a pirate ship during flight and confiscated them from that ship. They’re all old stuff on the verge of breaking down, so I just threw them into that room.”
Listening to Dijia’s explanation, Bai Lixin’s gaze fell on the laser gun in Li Cangshan’s hand.
The first time he came to this level of the virtual world, he saw a laser gun for the first time.
At that time, it was also his first real encounter with such a hard object, and he didn’t know how to use it.
After entering the Dark Steel City virtual world again, he often saw soldiers holding weapons in the palace in the Fair District.
The laser guns held by those people were very similar in structure to the one Li Cangshan was holding now, almost identical.
It was impossible for the palace to use outdated weapons.
From the information Dijia had just given, it could be inferred that the level of civilization at this level should be about a hundred years ahead of the lower virtual world.
Dijia, who claimed to be the control system of this ship, was quite familiar with the spaceship. He navigated the corridors like a mole finding its hole, skillfully dragging Bai Lixin along, twisting and turning until they reached a metal wall.
The metal wall clicked twice obediently, and a large hidden iron door that Li Cangshan had never seen before opened.
The lights came on, illuminating the space.
The square room had ten or so pieces of protective clothing and helmets hanging on one wall, and the other wall was filled with various weapons.
There was also a wall full of shelves, holding many handy cold weapons.
On the shelves of the last wall were many pieces of equipment that could be worn, such as handbags, wristbands, belts, waist bags, leg straps, and so on.
The room was packed with things that it was overwhelming.
Dijia: “Call your people over to pick out weapons and defensive clothing.”
Li Cangshan responded with a nod, pressing his ear as if talking to himself in the air: “Listen up, I’ll send you coordinates, everyone needs to get here within three minutes.”
S419M: [As expected of someone in the special forces, Li Cangshan gives that feeling as soon as he opens his mouth. Concise and to the point, the message is so clear I’d give him a perfect score for this message transmission.]
Bai Li Xin: [Mmm, excellent.]
In less than three minutes, all the team members had gathered here.
Li Cangshan instructed everyone to stand at attention like students in military training. Without waiting for questions, he explained the situation clearly.
The team members immediately understood and looked at the unfamiliar Dijia in front of them.
“The weapons in the arsenal will be
“I will distribute the weapons among you,” Li Cangshan said, his hand behind his back and with a stern expression. “I will give you the most suitable weapons. No one is allowed to take them privately, let alone point their guns at their comrades. Understand!”
All fifteen people raised their heads in unison, and their unanimous response echoed through the corridor: “Understood!”
In the following time, Li Cangshan led the team to select weapons.
Bai Lixin didn’t follow but went to Dijia and whispered in a voice that only the two could hear, “Can you monitor all areas of the spaceship in real-time?”
Imitating Bai Lixin’s manner, Dijia lowered his head slightly and leaned close to Bai Lixin’s ear. “Yes.”
Because the voice was lowered, Dijia’s tone became deeper, with some inexplicable ambiguity. “Master.”
Bai Lixin: “Is there anyone who has woken up in the back? Like Mr. Kayla who left the virtual world with us at that time. Has he woken up?”
Dijia shook his head, “No, only we woke up. But the Mr. Kayla you mentioned entered the black hole with us.”
Bai Lixin was stunned.
He got into a black hole but didn’t wake up here. Could it be that the virtual world on the upper level is not only this one, but also other worlds?
Did Mr. Kayla wake up in another world?
Captain Dijia moved closer to Bai Lixin, “ I only have you as my master. You are my only one, but you always mention others.”
“The Third Duke.”
“Mr. Kayla.”
“Li Cangshan.”
“And that inferior S-001 simulation robot.”
The man’s index finger fell to Bai Lixin’s chest. “How can you remember so many names? I’m different, I only remember your name.”
“Nonsense,” Bai Lixin immediately retorted. “You just pronounced the names ‘Third Duke,’ ‘Mr. Kayla,’ ‘Li Cangshan,’ and‘S-001’ very skillfully. Cunning robot, you can’t fool me.”
Captain Dijia: “…”

In the live broadcast room.
[Haha, cunning.]
[Hahaha, my face is almost numb from smiling. The interaction between God Xin and the big boss is too sweet.]
[The boss who always likes to be possessive and God Xin who always likes to expose the weaknesses of others.]
[The big boss who got exposed: What else can I do? I managed to catch my wife with my ability, so naturally, I have to spoil him to death.]
——————————-
After ten minutes, Li Cangshan piled up a small mountain of equipment and weapons in front of Bai Lixin. “God Xin, these are yours. See if they fit and are handy. If not, you can change them.”
Li Cangshan not only brought protective clothing and weapons to Bai Lixin but also detailed equipment like wristbands and belts.
Bai Lixin first picked up the protective clothing and tried it on, it fit just right.
He didn’t know what material the protective clothing was made of. Its surface had a metallic sheen, and it looked as hard as metal. But when worn, it was soft and lightweight. It didn’t have any heaviness and it felt very comfortable.
Bai Lixin was satisfied. He reached out to try the weapons Li Cangshan had brought over and suddenly heard Dijia’s cold voice from behind him, “Hmm, Li Cangshan even knows your size? He knows more about you than I imagined.”
A broad arm stretched out from behind and grabbed the weapon Bai Lixin was about to try, “Are you also satisfied with the weapons he gave you?”
He casually threw the weapon onto the metal table in front of him, and the heavy weapon made a crisp “bang” sound when it touched the table.
Everyone immediately looked over.
Dijia glanced at the people present expressionlessly, and everyone quickly turned their heads, looking at their noses with their eyes, and their hearts with their noses.
“Although Li Cangshan has good taste, this weapon is not the most suitable for you,” Dijia whispered lowly in Bai Lixin’s ear, “I have a weapon that is more suitable for you. Follow me, master. Later, I will take you to my room alone to give it to you. It is something that only you can use, and others do not have the qualification to enjoy it.”
Bai Lixin shuddered, “…”
‘Can you speak normally?
Haven’t you had enough of this master-servant relationship?!’
—————————-
In the live broadcast room.
[Uh, forgive me for suddenly thinking crookedly.]
[… I didn’t think crookedly at first, but your words made me successfully think crookedly.]
[Okay, you guys successfully made me crooked too.]
[ “Something only you can use,” it’s definitely not what I’m thinking.]
[It’s what you think.]
[So that’s how it is.]
——————————
In addition to Bai Lixin who was equipped with full body equipment, everyone else’s equipment was also very complete.
“These clothes are so comfortable, they’re not heavy at all, and not hard.” The pink-haired girl stroked the outer fabric of the protective clothing with surprise. “And this size fits me perfectly, it’s amazing. What kind of attacks can this protective clothing defend against?”
Dijia replied, “It can defend against general attacks, such as strong corrosives, intense light, physical attacks, and chemical attacks. Even if you confront space creatures, this protective clothing can save your life at critical moments.”
Li Cangshan: “Captain, have you ever dealt with space creatures? What do they look like, and what attacks do they use? It would be best if you could tell us these information in advance. Knowing oneself and the enemy can ensure victory, and our chances of winning will be greater. Besides splitting, what else can space creatures do?”
Dijia paused, “They can also transform.”
The big guy laughed, “Transform? Like Transformers? Hahaha, that’s interesting.”
The big guy seemed to be amused by his own cold joke and laughed at the top of his lungs. However, his joke was too cold and did not resonate with the rest at all. Everyone looked at each other awkwardly, and finally, the big guy also stopped laughing in embarrassment.
Even the air was filled with embarrassment
Soon, the man’s next sentence turned this awkwardness into gloom.
Everyone only heard the man say coldly, “Alien creatures can become any possible life form.”
As the man’s gaze roamed around the room, whoever he looked at became tense, instinctively lowering their heads and avoiding eye contact with the man.
The man’s gaze stopped on Li Cangshan’s face, “They might become you to deceive others.”
Li Cangshan’s breath hitched.
The man’s gaze shifted to the pink-haired girl next to Li Cangshan, “They could also become you.”
His gaze didn’t stop and moved on to the next person, “And you, you, and you…”
“They can become anyone, even more like the original than the original.”
The air became heavy, and everyone froze in place, at a loss.
“Can we have a secret code?” A clear young voice broke the somewhat oppressive atmosphere, rescuing everyone from fear, “A code that only we know.”
The man rubbed his chin thoughtfully, “We can try. What code do you plan to use?”
Li Cangshan: “I have a question. When the space creatures were locked in the warehouse, how many space creatures were there?”
Dijia: “If I’m not mistaken, there were two hundred and twenty-two.”
Several gasps rang out.
Li Cangshan: “Are these space creatures intelligent beings? You said earlier that they look like the original even more than the original. Is it because they learned the original’s behavior or for other reasons?”
“That explanation is not accurate,” Dijia denied, “These space creatures do have intelligence. They can learn knowledge from the outside world. When they boarded the spacecraft, they were just harmless blobs of flesh, sticking to the ventilation ducts and turning into pieces of metal. So the crew members on the ship didn’t pay attention to them at first. By the time they noticed, the space creatures could already mimic them.”
“There is no doubt that space creatures have intelligence. But saying they can look like the original even more than the original just by learning is not quite right.”
Everyone listened with confusion, and the pink-haired girl asked, “Why not?”
“Space creatures can deceive opponents, make them rationalize their behavior, make them unable to resist approaching them and consider them their companions.”
Pink Hair: “So, space creatures are beings of mental attack?”
Dijia shook his head again, “No, confusing opponents is just their passive attribute. Their active attribute is attack. They can shoot out long tentacles from their bodies. These tentacles can be as soft as water or as hard as blades. They can easily strangle the necks and bones of prey, or pierce through their chests effortlessly.”
The pink-haired girl’s face was already very ugly, “And they can split, and only fire can completely kill them. First, they use mental attacks to confuse enemies, then they use physical attacks to kill them. It sounds invincible. There are more than two hundred space creatures on the other side, and we only have a dozen people. So what can we do to fight against them?”
“It’s not like that,” Captain Dijia spoke lightly, “They are not absolutely perfect space creatures. Besides fire attacks, they also have a weakness.”
The pink-haired girl quickly asked, “What is it?”
“Before going to the warehouse, it’s best to make thorough preparations,” Captain Dijia scanned Bai Lixin and Li Cangshan back and forth. “You can’t go dressed like this. You’ll be eaten by space creatures as soon as you enter the warehouse.”
“There are fifteen people in the hall. Are they your companions?”
Li Cangshan nodded. “Yes, we formed a team temporarily, and I’m the captain.”
