Chapter 637: Successful Seizure of the Martian Mothership and Authority to Launch Large-Scale Expedition Missions
"You have successfully destroyed the 'Root of Mars Mothership Machine Soul'."
"It has been detected that you have completely occupied the Mothership's core compartment and are powering it with a large-scale Feng Shui Engine—"
"You meet the qualifications for occupying the 'Martian Mothership Battle Fortress'."
"The Martian Mothership Battle Fortress will become an extension of 'Hammond Innovation Labs' and will possess the attributes of 'Large Vehicle,' 'Cosmic Battle Fortress,' and 'Portable Laboratory'."
"Your template item 'Portable Laboratory' has been permanently changed to 'Portable Fortress'."
"Portable Fortress: Dark Gold/Mythical/Lv-, Composite Template Item, Portable Laboratory, Cosmic Battle Fortress, Large Vehicle. Usage Requirement: Cheng Tian.
Portable Laboratory—(Omitted).
Once per instance, you can summon the 'Martian Mothership Battle Fortress' carrying Hammond's Portable Laboratory. During the summoning duration, your laboratory branches in other instances will be forcibly closed, temporarily suspending all research and commercial activities.
Hull Data—Total height 750 meters, maximum diameter 1 kilometer, total volume 196 million cubic meters, overall durability 3.4W/10W, energy bar 2.5W/10W. The outer disc area has additional durability bonuses based on armor plate strength.
Internal Space Distribution—
Possesses the 'Central Dome Area' with composite functions such as a core command laboratory, energy hub, bacterial fluid clone production line, and living quarters;
The 'Outer Disc Area' serving as the combat deck and vehicle bay;
The 'Bottom Thruster Area' responsible for the engine array;
The 'Annihilation Suppression Area' linked to the vehicle bay, equipped with vehicle deployment modules, laser emission modules, and more.
You can choose to summon the 'Martian Mothership Battle Fortress' directly before entering an instance that meets the corresponding summoning rules, or you can summon it when you have no faction affiliation. Upon successful summoning, you will be considered an independent, new faction. This faction can be renamed once.
As the leader of an independent instance faction, you will be able to accommodate NPC units according to Space rules, becoming one of the optional factions for Heaven's Chosen players, and bearing various responsibilities such as issuing relevant missions to players.
At the same time, possessing the 'Martian Mothership Battle Fortress' will also qualify you to participate in missions containing specific tags such as 'Cross-Planar' and 'Space Warfare'. When necessary, you may need to undertake Heaven's Chosen Space's 'Large-Scale Expedition Missions,' leading a large number of players, including yourself, to perform tasks including but not limited to suppression, rescue, and support.
"Additional Evaluation: When you choose to summon this thing in other suitable instances, even if you do nothing, you will have a huge impact on the instance's direction.
Furthermore, as a faction leader, you may also become a quest giver for some higher-tier players."
The moment Cheng Tian successfully seized true control of the entire Martian Mothership, a large batch of familiar information appeared before his eyes, dazzling Cheng.
Looking at the entire Heaven's Chosen Space player community, there were actually far more powerful beings than Cheng Tian, and their numbers were quite a bit higher than imagined, as the player base was simply that large. The only reason Cheng Tian hadn't encountered them yet was that he wasn't qualified.
However, most of these players who were more powerful than Cheng Tian were strong in terms of individual combat power. Even if there were those skilled in operating mechs, it was only in relation to combat power.
This Metal Slug 3 instance was not Cheng Tian's first clear; rather, it was a relatively common high-intensity war-type instance, a game that many B-rank players would experience at least once.
When faced with multiple options, there would always be some who made the same choice as Cheng Tian and his group: rushing into space, breaking into the Mothership, and engaging in a boarding action directly against these octopus-mushroom creatures. There were even instances where the Root of Mars was destroyed before it could escape, skipping the second phase entirely.
But Cheng, whose thoughts were always unconventional and who always liked to do strange things, achieved something unprecedented in the Heaven's Chosen Space's entire player archive: he turned the Martian Mothership into his own property.
This thing was never meant to be acquired by players; it simply didn't exist in the treasure chest loot pool.
However, Cheng Tian first obtained a Portable Laboratory through his talent template, allowing him to build small and large structures anywhere in different instances. Subsequently, he acquired a large Feng Shui Engine from the SIN department capable of powering large vehicles. The Martian Mothership was a rare psychic-controlled vehicle, and Cheng Tian's breakthrough in psychic power limits was enough to activate the Mothership's Machine Soul within the large vehicle. After winning, he then used his strong affinity for vehicles as a Vehicle Master to brand the Mothership, which had its backdoors removed, with his own psychic power.
It could be said that if any one step had been missed, this capture would have ended in failure, or perhaps not even been triggered at all.
And a vehicle of this specification was no longer a combat vehicle in the conventional sense. Its 'Flying City' attribute was clearly more pronounced. Possessing such a vehicle also meant it would be difficult for you to be accepted by other factions, so summoning it would essentially mean establishing your own faction.
Cheng Tian's identity was clearly no longer limited to 'player.' He would inevitably be labeled a 'faction leader,' and one who could issue commands to other players who joined his faction—
Of course, whether rebellious players would obey was another matter entirely.
Theoretically, mission rewards were still provided by Heaven's Chosen Space, but Cheng Tian had the authority to interfere with and finalize the mission details.
Moreover, not only players, but theoretically, Cheng Tian could also recruit NPC units from other worldviews to fill the ranks of his own faction.
Currently, it was called a faction, but Cheng, with a battle fortress so large that it could theoretically provide living space for at least 100,000+ humans, had a total NPC count of less than a hundred, even including the puppet army and metal dinosaurs... But then again, for Cheng Tian, filling up NPCs wasn't a difficult task, as his small laboratory had gathered the essence of cloning technologies from the Martians, NESTS, and Shadaloo!
"Large-scale expedition missions...?"
Cheng Tian shifted his gaze from that phrase in the description, a glint flashing in his eyes.
He didn't know why, but that phrase somehow made him feel a little excited.
Cheng Tian quickly reined in his scattered thoughts, reconnected with the entire Mothership, and swiftly completed an internal area scan, confirming the remaining Martians, as well as the government forces and Modern Army soldiers who were searching for an exit. Then, the ship started, heading directly towards Earth.
Not long after, the Root of Mars, having deactivated its Mothership core form, regained its physical freedom and flight ability, and was descending to Earth protected by a psychic barrier, when a shadow suddenly fell over its head.
As it instinctively moved its eyeball upwards, the true form of the shadow—the Martian Mothership Battle Fortress controlled by Cheng Tian—had its 'Annihilation Laser Cannon' at the center of its undercarriage enter a charging state.
