"What do we ordinary people do when you say that?" Hongye teased. She turned around and hugged Guigui, who also had a C rank. "Guigui, we are ordinary people, NPCs, who were involved in a legendary story. So we can only hug each other, trembling and at a loss."
Bai Quan: "NPCs are also divided into different levels. Some NPCs have a lot of roles. The second-level NPCs will give out quests and props. You are the lowest-level NPCs who don't give out quests or props, and you only repeat the preset fixed lines when you have a conversation!"
As soon as Bai Quan finished speaking, Hongye and Guigui started to fake cry in tacit understanding.
Masha thought, why do I feel like you two are actually enjoying this?
Hua Gu Shuang spoke up: "You guys are pretty good, but you have low qualifications. Look at me, I have A qualifications, but I am still just a supporting role."
"You've been asked to measure things quite often recently." Hongye complained.
Hua Gu Shuang immediately retorted: "Aren't you often sent to pick fruit?"
Baiquan: "Why should a tool make things difficult for another tool?"
Masha saw that Baiquan was just showing off his superiority! Wow, this annoying place is exactly the same as mine, Ma!
The League Secretary: "Let's stop talking nonsense. I say, we have to seriously consider the issue of action in Eastern Europe. It will become more and more difficult to catch bad guys in the future. It is obvious that the propaganda of the World Government and the strong suppression of the authorities are working. After awakening, the number of superpowers causing trouble has obviously decreased."
"Yes," Chihiro nodded, "Before, I could see the burning city right away after taking a walk, but now I can't find the target even after flying for a long time."
"As fewer and fewer superpowers are causing trouble, the forces available to each district to arrest us will increase accordingly, and the risk factor is rising." The league secretary looked at Masha and suggested seriously, "It's about time we suspend our operations in Eastern Europe."
"I know." Masha nodded. "That's why we are going to Africa now. Sub-Saharan Africa is originally a lawless and chaotic area, and the world government's control is very weak. Correspondingly, these places also need someone to uphold justice."
"But the Black Africa Tripod is still there. The number of awakened people is small to begin with... Are you planning to take the Black Africa Tripod away?" The League Secretary looked at Masha, "The problem is, there aren't even any decent ancient monuments in Africa, right? Where can we find the Tripod? Are we going to look for Wakanda?"
Masha retrieved the data from the computer.
The place in Africa with the lowest average awakening rate in the past year is Burundi, which does not have many ancient monuments, but is close to one of the most magnificent natural wonders on Earth: the Great Rift Valley of East Africa.
To the southwest of Burundi is Lake Tanganyika, a huge, long freshwater lake that is closely related to the Great Rift Valley of East Africa.
He pulled up a topographic map of Burundi and said, "I think the tripod is not necessarily in an ancient monument. The tripod we found in Wallachia was not in any historic site. It was just a broken castle. The tripod in the basement of our maid shop also has nothing to do with ancient monuments. I guess the tripod is located in some places where the distribution of spiritual energy is special."
Chihiro: "Yes, the American tripod seems to be in Yellowstone National Park, which is also a natural wonder. So it is normal for the tripod to be hidden in Lake Tanganyika."
The League Secretary shrugged: "You are right. I was misled by the fact that Stonehenge can glow."
Shelley also entered the world in the car from the fairyland at this time. She asked, "Didn't we say we were going to see Petra? How long will it take?"
"To tell you the truth, I'm lost and need to find a place to return to the real world and use GPS to locate myself," said Masha.
Chihiro: "I remember in Indiana Jones and the Last Airbender, the place where the Holy Grail was finally found was actually Petra. You didn't run over there and find the Holy Grail, did you?"
"How is that possible? Petra has been thoroughly explored. There is no such thing as the Valley of the End, nor a bridge that can be invisible to the naked eye." Masha laughed. "The most important thing is that the ancient ruins of Petra have been turned into a heavily guarded fortress by one side of the war."

It’s 7:30, get up! It’s time to vote!
At twelve o'clock noon, I will come again to urge those friends who don’t like to get up early.
Chapter 498: Sure enough, this is how it unfolds! (Updated )
After entering the real world twice to determine the direction, Masha finally found the way to Petra.
When they confirmed the position for the second time, a group of Hind planes flew overhead, so Masha concluded that Petra was still under the control of the Soviet Union and the Bedouin United Emirates.
After driving for a while according to the map, Masha saw the positions of the Soviet and Bedouin coalition forces on the high ground beside the road. It seemed that the Jews had not yet reached here.
Out of curiosity, Masha turned off the road and drove to the Soviet position, took a look at their anti-tank gun bunkers.
He discovered that the Soviets had driven their tanks up a steep hillside and placed them in semi-buried bunkers to use as turrets.
Everyone looked serious, probably because a Jewish attack was imminent.
The league secretary hit Masha and said, "Hey, this car is shaking so much now, you are not going to drive it to the enemy's position to see what's going on, are you?"
——Fuck, are you the worm in my stomach?
The league secretary and Chihiro understood as soon as they saw Masha's expression.
"He will tell you next that this is the romance of men, you don't understand." Chihiro said.
Masha: "This is the romance of the Blue Man, you don't understand!"
The league secretary shrugged and ignored Masha.
Shelley said, "Didn't you buy an East German newspaper to find Maxim? I saw it said that the Sinai Peninsula now, under the mediation of the World Government, has promised not to use air force to attack each other's positions, so the battle has turned into a pure ground battle."
Cai Shi asked in confusion: "Why is the mediation only related to the Air Force?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's 'give the World Government a face, we have to promise something, so why not just let the Air Force not participate in the war'."
Masha shrugged.
Baiquan asked: "I don't understand these, but it seems that the Jewish air force should be very strong. Wouldn't it be a big loss to just promise not to invest in the air force?"
"How should I know? Don't ask me," said Masha.
At this moment, the sudden explosion scared Masha.
But the girls in the car world couldn't hear any sounds from the outside world, so they looked at Masha who suddenly straightened up in surprise.
Masha said, "Excuse me, there are shells falling outside, the Jews have started shelling."
"Is a war about to start? It looks like they are heading towards Petra as well." Shelley muttered.
The League Secretary said: "Don't stop just because you want to watch the Jewish attack."
"What's the matter? Let me take a look!" Masha began to use the tone of Baiquan lying on the ground, "This is a real fight! It's more real than any game! Let me take a look!"
Xiao Shi: “Ah Silly~”
Her voice is so sweet, and the elongated ending tone at the end is even more charming, forming a sharp contrast with the baseball bat in her hand.
Masha: "We should get into Petra before it falls into the chaos of two armies fighting for it."
Masha reluctantly left the Soviet and Bedouin coalition positions that were under bombardment and continued to advance along the road they were guarding.
The canyon in front of the ancient city of Petra was not as narrow as Masha imagined - Masha's imagination basically came from Indiana Jones 3.
After passing through the long canyon and seeing the ancient city suddenly appearing between the cliffs on both sides, Masha could somewhat imagine the shock of the Swiss explorers who discovered Petra.
There are several Soviet outposts in the valley. While the ancient city of Petra can be seen, barricades set up by the Soviet army also appear.
Soviet combat engineers were using bulldozers and heavy machinery to build solid concrete fortifications, and heavy machine guns were mounted in temporary bunkers built with sandbags next to them.
A T72A with the Bedouin coalition logo was parked next to the temporary bunker.
Masha drove straight through them and arrived at the square in front of the gate of the ancient city of Petra.
This place has become the Soviet army's command center, with busy soldiers everywhere. Looking up, you can see various communication antennas installed on the top of the cliff, and the circuits connecting the antennas hanging down the cliff, adding a cyberpunk feel to the ancient city.
Masha decided to take a walk around the ancient city first.
Chihiro: "Hey, when you get to Petra, you're just going to see it alone? What about us?"
Masha was shocked: "You guys want to watch it too? No, your job today should be to continue catching the superpowers who have committed crimes and bring them back to fertilize the fields, right? You said you were going to take a break, how long have you been resting?"
The League Secretary shrugged. "Come on, they've shown their capitalist side. Let's just keep working. We probably won't see Petra anyway."
"Wait a minute!" Masha stopped the league secretary who was about to leave, "We might need to go to the real world to steal something later, so don't leave yet."
Chihiro: "You don't really think the Holy Grail is here?"
"What if? If we see anything unusual, we will definitely have to go down and check it out. It will be more reassuring if you two are around."
"Did you find anything unusual?" asked the League Secretary.
"No, not yet. It just looks like a very grand and magnificent ancient city, that's all. I'll have to go inside the grandest building and maybe see the famous hall where Indiana Jones started his adventure."
As soon as Masha finished speaking, the feeling of weightlessness caused by the fall instantly captured all of them.
"What the hell?" the League Secretary exclaimed.
Baiquan: "Oh! I'm floating!"
"We're falling!" Masha yelled. "There's a section of ground that's not recognized as 'ground'! There's something under this Petra!"
Chihiro has already activated her ability - the car will not be damaged by this kind of fall, but Masha and the others may still get hurt if they fall to the ground.
After a moment, the free fall stopped.
Masha glanced at his cell phone. He checked the time as soon as he started free falling.
By subtracting the time that Masha remembers from the current time, we can get the time t of free fall. Then, based on the fact that h is equal to half g multiplied by t squared, we can calculate the approximate depth underground at this time.
After a quick mental calculation, Masha said, "Everyone, we are now about 500 meters underground. The ceiling above our heads may be very thick, but it is not recognized as 'ground' by the car, so we fall down. Generally speaking, this indicates that the ceiling above our heads is artificially constructed."
"So, we are going to find the Holy Grail?" Chihiro asked half-jokingly, "We are going to be immortal soon?"
Masha shrugged: "Who knows? Anyway, let's explore this underground city first. It's pitch black outside and we can't see anything. We have to go back to the real world and then we can use lights to illuminate this underground city."
Masha paused, then continued, "Also, in order to avoid superpower fluctuations alerting the Soviet troops on the ground, we should try not to use superpowers. Guigui, get ready, we may need your bear power."

It’s noon, 12 o’clock, time to vote!
See you at 12 o'clock at night.
Chapter 499: Breaking Free from the Shackles of Time (Part )
Masha brings the little car into reality.
Then turn on the car lights.
When I turned on the low beam at first, I could only see a thick stone pillar not far from the car. It seemed to be one of the load-bearing pillars supporting the hall.
The light didn't reach the edge of the hall at all, and it was pitch black all around.
Masha cuts into high beam.
Then two statues about four or five meters high appeared in everyone's sight. There was a stone door between the statues. It seemed that the statues were guards guarding the gate.
Chihiro patted Masha's shoulder and said, "Dr. Indiana Jones, what do you think?"
"The statue's attire is definitely not that of an ancient Bedouin. This place is much older than Petra." Masha could only come to this conclusion. After all, although he liked history, he was not yet a professional archaeologist.
If he was asked to immediately determine the construction date of the ruins by looking at the clothing of the statues, he could only say "I can't do it".
What's more, this underground city may be even older than the history of Sumerian civilization. After all, it is a creation of the mythological era.
A true mythical era.
"Put on the power armor, and let's go explore."
Masha gave the order.
The reason why we have to wear power armor is because we are so deep underground and have been closed for so long, there may not be enough oxygen.
Although Masha and the others didn't feel any problems with breathing in the car, before entering the real world, Masha specifically closed the doors and windows of the car so that the air did not circulate well.
Maybe everyone will be short of oxygen as soon as they go out.
Gui Gui is leading the charge wearing the No. 20 power armor - her 105 strength can also be effective after putting on the power armor. Most people wearing this Soviet power armor can lift a quarter of a ton of things, and each of them can easily break the men's weightlifting world record of more than kilograms, while Gui Gui can lift one ton wearing the power armor.
One ton!
Masha didn't know whether this was because the super strength bonus could be applied to the equipment, or because Guigui could lift a ton without wearing power armor, but it was the limits of the human body that restricted Guigui's performance?
If it is the latter, then it can prove Masha's speculation: attribute values are the attributes of the soul, and they will still take effect even if they are separated from the body.
Guigui's 20 strengths are soul attributes, but the human body limits its performance. After putting on a mechanical exoskeleton, the effects of these 20 strengths can be fully exerted.
——Wow, in that case, if I transform my body into a machine, I can complete the two steps of cultivating immortals, “splitting the spirit” and “combining the body”?
——Should this be called immortal punk or cyber immortal punk?
——It’s quite exciting!
Now, Gui Gui, the first cyber cultivator chosen by Masha, put on the power armor, opened the sliding door of the King Cup Bread first, got off the car and stood on the ground.
Masha asked through the headset: "Is everything okay? Did the ground collapse or something?"
"Not at all, the ground is made of very hard stone slabs." Guigui replied.
——That’s right, after all, this ground is recognized as the “ground” by the little car!
——This sentence is difficult to understand, but anyway, if it has been recognized by Xiaocheche, then it must be correct.
Masha, Chihiro and the league secretary got off the car one after another.
