    The sky was getting dark, and towering buildings cast dark shadows on the streets.

    The soft light from the door reflects the big sign of "Midnight Restaurant".

    As always, today, there is only one customer in this restaurant.

    The young man with a cold expression sat near the door, under his short hair, showing a pair of godless eyes, staring at the vegetable platter on the table in front of him, which was obviously too bright in color.

    There is a sweet and greasy smell in the room, left by the strawberry ice cream dessert just now. As for the clashing sound of bowls and chopsticks from behind the counter, it was naturally the idiot chef who made it.

    ¡ª¡ªI have inherited this restaurant for almost half a year, and I haven¡¯t learned how to cook yet...

    Realizing that the taste of the dishes should not be any better, he put down his chopsticks and looked up at the holographic projection screen on the opposite wall.

    On that screen, the earth is rotating and the exact time in this time zone is displayed:

    July 1, 2035, 20:31. Smog, acid rain.

    Looking at the weather forecast following the time, the young man sighed. Even if you are used to heavy pollution, acid rain is not good news.

    In this era, most people¡¯s meals are cooked by housework robots, and a few people retain the habit of ordering takeaways. People who eat in small restaurants like him have become completely ¡°rare creatures¡±.

    In fact, he also has housework robots at home. The reason why he chose to eat in the restaurant downstairs is for other reasons:

    ¡ª¡ªAs a guy who lives alone and is alone all year round, occasionally talking to other people helps to maintain mental health.

    Although I communicate with my teammates in the virtual space every day, chatting in the real world is not a concept.

    Thinking of this, he couldn''t help complaining:

    "so troublesome."

    In the twenty-four years since he was born, this man named Lin Chi has always been synonymous with laziness.

    Aside from being a "professional player" who was not so glamorous in the eyes of the older generation, there seems to be nothing remarkable in his life.

    Guys like him are basically the negative textbooks that relatives and friends often refer to when educating children. By the way, they will also be labeled as "promising", "no future", "mixed eating and waiting to die".

    Lin Chi knew that those guys who were biased towards the game absolutely couldn''t understand what he did in the game. He has always paid no attention to the opinions of others, and he is too lazy to explain. He just continues to maintain the original rhythm of life and lives alone.

    "How about today''s food..."

    The faint female voice, as thin as a mosquito, interrupted Lin Chi''s thoughts.

    He turned his head and saw a cute chef with a petite figure and a single ponytail standing beside him staring nervously at him, wearing a white apron outside his gray coat, stained with colorful stains.

    Seeing the girl''s fair face with a look of expectation in tension, Lin Chi decided to lie:

    "good."

    "Then why don''t you eat it?" The girl''s voice was a little confused.

    "I''m not very hungry today. I just want to talk to someone." Lin Chi continued to lie straightly and neatly. He took out his mobile phone with his right hand to make an appointment with his housework robot and began to cook automatically.

    "That''s it." The girl seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She pulled a chair and sat down beside Lin Chi. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks: "I can chat with you, and it just happens to be fine..."

    "Yeah." Lin Chi nodded, and replied casually, "Thanks."

    Looking at the young girl sitting next to him, what appeared in his mind were burnt chicken wings, steaks "tender on the outside and charred on the inside", and egg soup that was too salty and could only be diluted with water.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

    ¡ª¡ªIf she doesn¡¯t improve her cooking technology, no one will come to eat in this restaurant, but even if she improves, there won¡¯t be any new customers...

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi couldn''t help but worry about the girl''s future. But the other party was obviously optimistic, and just smiled and asked, "Did you play the game again today?"

    "It''s''playing a game'' thanks." Lin Chi corrected the girl''s words, then nodded: "It''s still the same."

    As a professional player plus a team leader, he spends at least ten hours in the game every day. Of course, it refers to ten hours in the real world.

    The time flow rate in brain imaging games is different from the real world. Generally speaking, the ratio is ten to one. Ten hours in the game are only equivalent to one hour in the real world.

    Now, Lin Chi and his comrades are training in a competitive game called "Sword Blade", preparing for the upcoming, lucrative arena competition in this game.

    Although the training was mentally exhausting, Lin Chi knew that only by continuing to train and familiar with the tactics could he defeat those monster-level opponents.

    In a sense, he is actually not lazy.

    ¡ª¡ªLin Chi''s laziness is mainly manifested in his body, but his thinking is much more active than ordinary people. Because of this, compared with the guy in the real world who is always incapable of stimulating, he is totally different in the game.

    Thinking about the formation strategy in the 5V5 battle, the girl asked again:

    <div>

    "Does that... hurt?"

    Hearing this, Lin Chi laughed: "What you said is easy to cause misunderstanding."

    "Ah? Ah! I didn''t mean that!" The girl flushed and waved in a panic: "I mean intubation behind the head!"

    "It''s the''brain-computer interface'', not the intubation behind the head." Lin Chi helplessly explained: "In addition, this is an external device, so it doesn''t hurt at all. Don''t worry."

    While speaking, he touched the metal collar worn on his neck, and a circular metal interface was exposed at the back of the collar.

    ¡ª¡ªAs the original military brain-computer interface technology began to be used for civilian use, the first "brain imaging game console" was officially born five years ago, in 2030.

    The appearance of this device is similar to the past holographic game warehouse, but the configuration inside is quite different.

    When the "brain imaging game" starts to run, there will be a small data interface inserted into the port on the user''s collar, and by using a weak current to stimulate the cerebral cortex, directly modify the neural signal, providing the player with unparalleled simulation Experience.

    When this kind of game console came out, it was like a blockbuster detonated in the game industry. Today, there are still many players who refuse to use this kind of gaming equipment, and still stick to old-fashioned VR games or antique-level screen display games.

    After all, for many "traditional players", directly modifying neural signals sounds a bit too exciting.

    But for Lin Chi, this kind of problem is completely irrelevant:

    Because he is a "pioneer."

    When brain-computer interface technology was first put on the market, it experienced malicious slander from traditional game manufacturers.

    At that time, many people even thought that a player wearing such a connected device would be shocked into a fool.

    To this day, there are still some idiots who believe such rumors.

    At that time, only a very small number of "hard men" bought the first-generation interface devices and became the first players of brain imaging games.

    These initial players were called "pioneers" by later players.

    To this day, these pioneers have basically either become professional players or popular anchors, and they are all going well.

    A guy like Lin Chi who has never shown his face, but is just famous in the game, is rarely seen these days.

    However, Lin Chi was not really interested in those false names. After all, it is very troublesome to maintain popularity, and it is completely inconsistent with his character.

    Moreover, there is actually another unknown reason why he chose to become a professional player.

    "Well, my cousin is also playing this kind of game. He told me last time that he encountered a strange thing." The girl''s voice came over.

    "What''s the weird thing?" Lin Chi asked perfunctorily.

    "He has been playing this kind of game for several years. I suddenly told me a few days ago that the NPC in a recent new game seems to be emotional..." The girl''s tone was a little unsure.

    Hearing this, Lin Chi''s eyes were a little dispirited, and suddenly they widened slightly, and asked quickly, "How is he sure?"

    "I can''t remember. He only said that an NPC cried to him before he died. It doesn''t look like an AI anyway." The girl added: "That game seems to be called a battle... what is the battle? "

    "War Paradise?" Lin Chi said.

    "Yes, yes, this game seems to be very popular recently, I often see advertisements." The girl kept nodding.

    Hearing this, Lin Chi was silent for a moment, took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code to pay for the meal, stood up and turned around and left.

    "Where are you going?" the girl asked.

    "Sorry, the team is going to train suddenly." He turned around and smiled, hurriedly walked out of the restaurant''s main entrance, and walked towards the stairs not far behind.

    Lin Chi has always heard about the game "War of Heaven". The game has just started to be tested a few days ago, and his team has no plans to enter this game for the time being.

    But now, it''s time to give it a try.

    Walking quickly into the high-speed elevator next to the stairwell, Lin Chi pressed the button on the 35th floor and looked down at the phone screen. The official advertising email from the game:

    Dear virtual game players:

    Tired of the same linear drama emotions? Want to try a real sandbox game?

    Tired of playing RPGs that can only play one role? Do you want to lead your subordinates in virtual reality and experience the thrill of dominating the army?

    Welcome to the large open world killing game "War Paradise"!

    Here, NPC is no longer a vase that only repeats the same lines, but a character with "self-awareness" that can truly interact with you.

    Here, you will not be bound by a boring task chain, but you can experience the sandbox gameplay with a high degree of freedom.

    Here, you don''t have to stick to a role, but you can command an army and experience the magnificent and huge crazy war.

 Chapter 2 Unique Designated Account

    Opening the door of No. 3501, Lin Chi walked into the living room, took off his brown long coat and threw it on the sofa, and strode towards the corner of the living room.

    A large machine with a silver-gray shell is quietly leaning against the wall. It is nearly three meters long. Inside the streamlined shell, a red soft recliner is installed. The recliner comes with restraints to fix the limbs and body. Tool.

    Had it not been for the "Pulse Entertainment Company" logo sprayed on the shell, it would have been used as an interrogation device.

    However, even if they know that it is just a game console, its internal structure still makes many ordinary people talk about it:

    On the upper side of the back of the reclining chair, where the back of the user''s head should be in contact, is inlaid with a dark metal ring, and a sharp cold light flashes in the center of the ring.

    This is not a holographic game device in the traditional sense, but a brain imaging game warehouse. And the ring on the back of the chair is the "behind-the-head cannula" position used by a stupid chef.

    Lin Chi yawned, opened the shell of the game compartment, pressed his right thumb on the small screen in the inner corner of the game compartment, and scanned his own fingerprint.

    I saw a few lines of dark green text appearing on the small LCD screen inside the machine:

    "Identity detection has been completed. The user uniquely assigned ID: 410-I8DA21SSSR."

    "Welcome back, Mr. Lin."

    After completing the test, Lin Chi quickly switched the "Sword Blade" currently used in the game warehouse to the "War Paradise" just downloaded.

    Even if he always looks lazy, his other name is still famous in the gaming circle. At the beginning of the test of "War Paradise", he took the initiative to send him an invitation letter.

    In other words, Lin Chi can enter the game directly without making an appointment.

    After relaxing and lying on the soft chair and fixing his body, Lin Chi pressed the button on the armrest and slowly closed his eyes.

    Hum!

    The roar exploded in his consciousness, and the chaotic color blocks spliced by countless colors instantly occupied all of his sight.

    "Begin physical function testing." A mechanical female voice without emotional fluctuations whispered in her ear.

    The access of the port did not cause any pain, but it made Lin Chi awake dozens of times, and his five senses became more acute than ever, and he could even hear the sound of blood flowing in his body.

    People who have never played brain imaging games will never experience this indescribable wonder.

    "Please speak more than three syllables, so that the system can reconfirm your identity." The mechanical female voice reminded.

    Hearing this, the young man who had been listless, finally raised the corners of his mouth and showed a smile:

    "I''m here," he said.

    The images in front of him flowed like a kaleidoscope like a kaleidoscope. Lin Chi''s consciousness and various feelings were pulled from the real world to the virtual Realm by the game warehouse of the imaging game in his brain.

    He knows that his body in the real world is basically in a "vegetative" state now, and even if he is slashed by others, he will not have any feelings or reactions.

    Of course, if it is Death in the real world, the own character will be "permanently disconnected".

    With the activation of the sensory isolation system, the constantly changing picture in front of him was frozen into a gray background board, and then appeared a few lines of small characters used to reconfirm the player''s identity:

    Name: Lin Chi.

    Gender: male.

    Age: 24 years old.

    Occupation: Unemployed.

    "Do I have a career now?" Lin Chi complained.

    Then, he quickly faced new problems:

    ¡ª¡ªWhat name should be given to the own role?

    Lin Chi is very sure that he suffers from the "difficulty in naming" disease. He is very fortunate that he is not a novelist, otherwise, just naming the characters in the pen will cause heavy brain cell casualties.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

    "Um..."

    After thinking for a moment, he decisively looked away from the input field and adopted the "random naming method" that he had often used before.

    With virtual hands under the background board, he tapped randomly on the "keyboard" floating in front of him. The female voice who only listened to the prompt sounded again:

    "Are you sure to use this role name? Please note that once you decide, you can''t change it."

    Hearing this, Lin Chi turned his gaze back and stared at the name he had just typed indiscriminately:

    countercurrent.

    Seeing that this random name didn''t seem ugly, Lin Chi decisively pressed confirmation.

    "During the test, the name can be used. Welcome, upstream."

    After choosing the name, the next step is the face-squeezing session.

    Lin Chi''s semi-transparent body suddenly disappeared, and his field of vision became a "God perspective" from top to bottom.

    What appeared in his sight was the familiar body that had been used for twenty-four years, except that the clothes were changed to a set of very old-fashioned gray casual clothes, which was completely indistinguishable from how he looked in the real world. .

    Lin Chi controlled the non-existent "eyes", turned around the own character, and began to adjust the appearance of the character.

    For some reasons everyone knows, in brain imaging games, the gender of the game character must be consistent with the player''s actual gender. The "Ladyboy" has officially withdrawn from the stage of history.

    In addition to being unable to change the gender, the player can make any changes to the appearance of the own character.

    Most players are unwilling to expose their true appearance in the game, and they finally have the opportunity to become handsome and beautiful. Most of them will shape their character images in a good direction.

    Of course, there are some weird people or fanciers with unique tastes, who will make the characters look weird.

    Regarding his virtual appearance in the game, Lin Chi was not interested in changing too much. He just lengthened his hair a little bit and added a scar on his cheeks to avoid being exactly the same as the real appearance.

    Then, he suddenly discovered the problem:

    "Why does this person look like kidney deficiency?"

    Lin Chi noticed that the own virtual character also inherited the "fine tradition" of the real world.

    This character seems to be only in his early twenties, but it doesn''t match the sunshine and vigor that young people should have at all, and looks decadent. Although the appearance is not ugly, it looks more like a zombie than a living person.

    Realizing this, Lin Chi also tried to make his own character a little more energetic. After all, the more low-key appearance in the game, the better. It''s too individual image, and it is easy to attract other players'' attention.

    However, things are obviously not that simple.

    After painstaking adjustments for a while, Lin Chi found to his frustration that no matter how he adjusted the appearance of his character, even if he turned into a two-meter-tall sturdy man, he still looks like a listless ghost...

    "Forget it, that''s it."

    Lin Chi reluctantly restored the character shape to its original state.

    Looking at the virtual character who looked almost like himself, but with a few more scars, he decisively stopped adjusting and chose "Confirm" in the dialog box floating next to the character''s head.

    "The role is created."

    The female voice without emotional ups and downs sounded again, and a dialog box titled "War Paradise Closed Beta Announcement" popped up.

    Lin Chi quickly browsed the content of the announcement, ignoring a lot of nonsense that is not important to the player, and directly focused on the following key points:

    ¡ª¡ªThis game is currently in the testing phase, only part of the map is open, and the first game mode: Death competition. Other maps and game modes will be available in subsequent updates.

    In the Death competition mode, one hundred players will join in each round, and teams cannot be formed. Players cannot be resurrected after being killed and are counted as direct defeat.

    There are three ways to win in the Death competition mode:

    Murderer-Kill at least seven players, and survive all other players Death.

    Raiders-Domination points reach more than 1000, and kill the final BOSS in the map.

    Ruler-replace the highest leader on the map and ascend to the position of the ruler.

    When any player meets the winning conditions, the game will end immediately.

    Please note that if at the end of the time limit, there is still no player fulfilling any of the three winning conditions, the game will also end.

    After a single game is over, trophies and various rewards will be distributed based on the scores of each player''s performance in the game. The winner will receive additional rewards.

    "Oh? Just throw a hundred people on a map and have a good time..."

    After reading the introduction to the Death competition mode, Lin Chi quickly understood what he should do, and then went directly to the next step:

    "Starting to match, you are now in the queue, using random map mode by default. Random maps are being selected."

    Accompanied by the emotionless female voice, a series of map names appeared in front of him, and he began to switch quickly:

    Royal hunting grounds.

    Primitive jungle.

    Ruins of Mars.

    The wreckage of a nuclear explosion.

    Ancient Museum.

    State Women''s Penitentiary.

    ...

    Looking at the imaginative map names flashing in his sight, an ominous premonition slowly rose in his heart.

    After waiting for about ten seconds, a bright red name finally freezes in front of my eyes:

    Welcome to the "City of Chaos"!

    "What about the State Women''s Penitentiary? Show me this after I take off my pants?"

    While complaining, Lin Chi has already started to quickly browse the map profile below:

    City of Chaos.

    Map size: Medium.

    The City of Chaos is an industrialized city located in the Pacific Ocean. It is jointly controlled by multiple consortia and organizations. The cultures of various countries converge here.

    The city is technologically advanced, public security is weak, and crime is prevalent. Those who choose to develop here will face unprecedented opportunities and dangers.

    Tip: Find the underground bar in the City of Chaos, there may be something you are interested in.

    Staring at the irregular island map below the text, Lin Chi didn''t say much. It seems that my first battle in "War Paradise" will take place in an open city map similar to "GTA".

    ¡ª¡ªLet''s see if there is any "that kind of AI" in this game.

    As the text field disappeared, the scene in front of Lin Chi began to darken rapidly. Then, he heard the system tone again.

    This time it was not the cold female voice, but a very exaggerated and infectious male voice:

    "Welcome to...War Paradise!"

 Chapter 3 Novice Tutorial

    I don''t know how long it took, a weak dizziness awakened Lin Chi''s consciousness.

    Open your eyes, turn your head, avoiding the white light in front of you.

    Then came into the line of sight, it was bleak gray, mixed with cruel bright red.

    He sat up slowly and looked at the dozens of headlights hanging from the ceiling, focusing the light on him. And the bloody ring that he was in, completely sealed by barbed wire.

    The dull soft platform was stained with unwiped blood and brain plasma. The corpses of the contestants who had just died were piled up on the sidelines.

    Shaking his head still a little dizzy, he reached out his hand to stroke the swollen bag on his face, Lin Chi could already imagine his face swollen into a pig''s head.

    I ignored the middle-aged referee who was standing on the court, wearing a shirt and trousers, and his shirtless fist, staring at his opponent. Lin Chi, who had just woke up, looked down at his muscles and shorts soaked in blood.

    Then, a smile appeared on his scarred face:

    "Boxer? The physical attributes seem to be pretty good this time."

    During the process of establishing an account in War Paradise, he did not see the option to adjust the "Birth Location". It seems that a player entering a new game should be refreshed in a random location with a random identity.

    Although I seemed to be being beaten just now, my life was not in danger, and my body was just aching.

    Lin Chi could feel that the pain in this virtual world should be only about one-third of that in the real world, otherwise he would not stand up so easily after being knocked down.

    "Isn''t dead yet, dwarf?" the fierce bald muscular man yelled, the burning tattoos all over his body were very conspicuous.

    Naturally, Lin Chi didn''t have time to pay attention to the provocation of AI. He just stood up and moved his muscles a bit, opened the status bar with a thought, and confirmed his current state:

    Role name: Countercurrent.

    Domination points: 0.

    Prestige: -5.

    Strength: 14 (10 for ordinary people).

    Agility: 12 (10 for ordinary people).

    Endurance: 18 (10 for ordinary people).

    Lucky: 9 (10 for ordinary people).

    "The prestige is negative. Why is luck so low?" He said, raising his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

    It seems that the initial role that I got this time should be an unfortunate boxer. The offensive power and agility are not very good, and the super endurance makes him a "human sandbag". No wonder he can get up easily even when he is knocked down.

    Unlike those newbies who will face a group of friendly NPCs and send money and equipment to the game when they enter the game, "War Paradise" will throw the player into a ghost place like a fighting arena at the beginning.

    However, based on Lin Chi''s game experience, this should be just a novice training scene.

    As expected, he just stood up, and a line of prompt text that only the player can see appeared in front of him:

    ¡ª¡ªNow, you have 30 seconds to familiarize yourself with the mobile operation of the game. You can move by yourself, but don''t leave the ring.

    As a legendary "pioneer", Lin is already familiar with how to control virtual body actions.

    He tried to move his body and make larger movements. The mobile training was completed quickly, and the originally shaky pace finally stabilized.

    ¡ª¡ªPlease try to attack the opponent, and use your arm to block the opponent''s attack.Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

    This line of hints just appeared, Lin Chi saw the bald man rushing forward, making a heavy punch without fancy, and slamming his head!

    This punch is heavy and fast, and if an ordinary player suffers this blow, it is estimated to have been blasted into a concussion and will directly withdraw from the stage of history.

    However, for an experienced player like Lin Chi, such an attack... actually is not a big deal.

    Flashing backwards, the opponent''s upper hook was rubbed against his chin.

    Under the surprised gaze of the audience outside the field, the boxer who had just been knocked down once hit the bald man with an overweight straight fist.

    On his face, the force was so strong that the neck of the bald man made a crisp "click"!

    The bald man fell silent on the bloody ring, and a pool of blood slowly expanded under his head.

    After witnessing the unexpected scene, the NPC spectators who were still noisy on the sidelines were all silent at once.

    Lin Chi was not too excited when he killed his opponent with a punch. He just looked down at his right fist with red knuckles without wearing boxing gloves.

    "Not bad..." he whispered.

    From the details of this novice tutorial, Lin Chi is absolutely certain that "War of Heaven" is definitely the most realistic brain imaging game he has ever played!

    Except for the weakened pain sensation, other sensations of own are basically the same as those in the real world.

    Lin Chi was thinking about it. The referee on the field quickly stepped forward, grabbing his right fist and violently raising it:

    "It''s unbelievable. The winner of this game is the player code-named "Reverse Current"!"

    The referee''s voice was drowned in the cheers of the audience on the sidelines almost overturning the ceiling.

    It should be because of winning in the fight that Lin Chi''s prestige value, which was originally a negative number in the status bar, instantly became 10 points.

    Standing in the boiling fighting arena, looking down at the audience off the court, only the same excited faces came into view. Lin Chi shook his head in disappointment:

    It seems that these NPCs that are set as off-site audiences do not show a strong level of intelligence as described in the "War Paradise" advertisement. They are still not self-aware and only repeat specific lines and actions. The NPC is nothing.

    Taking the heavy gold belt handed by the referee, grabbing a gray cloak on the sidelines, Lin Chi walked down the bloody ring along the contestant passage. Just returned to the lounge and was stopped by a staff member:

    "That punch just now was really cool! This is your trophy."

    An excited young man stuffed a pitch-black pistol and two magazines into his hand.

    While holding the pistol, Lin Chi''s sight again appeared prompt text:

    Completing the novice tutorial rewards, get the spoils: the old SIG-P210 pistol X1, pistol bullet X6.

    "Um?"

    Standing on the spot weighing the cold firearm in his hand, looking at the "Proficiency: 0" prompt next to him, Lin Chi fell into deep thought.

    In some games, even weapons with zero proficiency can be directly controlled by the player''s strong personal ability. Is this the same game?

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi, who was standing in the empty lounge, took a deep breath, slowly raised his pistol, and pointed the muzzle at the mirror in front of him.

    "boom!"

    Five minutes later, someone with a gold belt on his waist limped and walked out. On the rough leather boots, a bullet hole was still emitting blue smoke...

    ¡ª¡ªIf teammates see that they hit their right foot with a shot, those guys will probably laugh out loud.

    Lin Chi opened the status bar casually, and saw that his pistol proficiency changed from zero to one.

    New players may still be interested in this old routine of slow Ascension proficiency, but for old players like him, only a painful feeling arises spontaneously.

    But Lin Chi knew that for brain imaging games that directly manipulate the virtual body through thinking, just like the real world, proficiency is indeed necessary.

    If there is no proficiency, characters such as professional soldiers and special police can directly kill people immediately after entering the game. The game originally has a poor balance, and it is really completely hopeless.

    Fortunately, there was originally a roll of bandage in the inventory, which was probably a "extra benefit" that appeared as a boxer. Otherwise, Lin Chi, who had just entered the game, would have to go to a doctor.

    "The injury isn''t healed yet..." He muttered thoughtfully, and continued to limp forward.

    The bandaged right foot, although it no longer hurts, it still doesn''t work well.

    In this way, the treatment in "War Paradise" will take some time to take effect.

    While digesting the information obtained from the novice tutorial, he walked through the dark corridor. The young boxer pushed open the not heavy metal door at the end of the corridor.

    "..."

    The dazzling sunlight rushed through the gaps of the dark clouds, dispelling the shadows that hung all over the body.

    Entering Lin Chi''s line of sight, dozens of towering skyscrapers and small complexes of buildings below.

    There was a traffic jam on the street ahead, and the drivers kept honking their horns angrily. The hurried pedestrians walked across the sidewalk with their ears covered, and the fallen leaves and trash at their feet were blown up by the wind, forming an extremely realistic and dirty picture.

    Looking up at the gloomy gray sky, feeling the cold wind blowing across his cheeks, the boxer''s face was full of astonishment.

    Even for him, it was the first time that he saw a virtual world with such exquisite details!

    Although a lot of details can be seen in the arena just now, compared with the whole city, the level of shock of the closed small scene is naturally different.

    "This... it''s almost like crossing."

    Facing the incredibly true "City of Chaos", Lin Chi couldn''t help but sigh.

    He was about to take to the street and encountered this shocking game scene at close range. He saw a suit and leather shoes with a greasy face, and two fat men with black bodyguards behind him, walking quickly towards him across the square.

 Chapter 4 The correct way to play sandbox games

    Seeing the other party''s huge figure from far to near, Lin Chi, who was standing on the steps, narrowed his eyes slightly.

    ¡ª¡ªThis guy is obviously an NPC. Moreover, it should be here to send the task.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi''s brows unconsciously appeared a few wrinkles.

    Of course he knew that Daoist was not to be seen, but that was in the real world. Many of the NPCs in the game have characteristics that can be inferred from their appearance.

    What''s more, there are some guys who are more Damn it...

    Thinking of the NPCs who had gnashed their teeth that players hated in the brain-imaging role-playing game, Lin Chi felt helpless.

    According to his experience, there are two types of NPCs that disgust players in role-playing games¡ª¡ª

    Lin Chi was thinking about it. Fatty in a suit and shoes had already stood in front of him and said straightforwardly:

    "Boy, are you the champion of this ghost place? I have a ''dirty job'' here and I''m well paid. Can you help me?"

    Immediately afterwards, in front of Lin Chi''s eyes, a prompt that only he could see appeared again:

    Start the mission: kill people and kill them.

    "Is the name of this task a bit too straightforward?" Lin Chi complained.

    Before he finished his words, the two bodyguards behind Fatty had already stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right. The two dark silhouettes were full of pressure, and there was a full of threatening aura between their gestures.

    Seeing this scene, Lin Chi frowned again and was about to ask the other party about the details of the mission. He saw Fatty curl his lips in disdain, and slowly said: "You have to understand, shit, you have no right to refuse. I am not. I''m reasoning with you..."

    "The first type." Lin Chi sighed.

    "What did you say?" Fatty asked.

    "It''s okay." Lin Chi shook his head.

    ¡ª¡ªIn the game, there are two kinds of NPCs that will make the player feel disgusted. The first of them is the plot characters who have a strange attitude towards the player.

    No one likes to be humiliated while playing games. In a near-real brain imaging game, this kind of disgust can be ascension several times.

    However, in some games, even NPCs that cannot be skipped in the main storyline will verbally attack the player and may even beat the player.

    The most depressing thing is that as long as this kind of NPC is judged by the system as a "friend camp", even if the players hate their teeth, there is nothing to do with them. They can only swear and complete their assigned tasks.

    However, in a sandbox game like "War Paradise", there may be other solutions.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi suddenly said, "Shall we go and talk later?"

    While speaking, he pointed his finger at the unmanned alley behind the black metal building of the arena, shrouded in shadow.

    "What do you mean?" Fatty''s small eyes narrowed.

    Lin Chi could see that the IQ level of this NPC was indeed higher than those of the audience in the arena, but it was not much higher. This kind of trap, which is obvious to humans, is completely invisible to him.

    As for the two bodyguards next to them, they are more similar to the existence of mental retardation. In such a conversation, you don''t need to care about them at all.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

    "If you need to kill someone, I have a weapon here I want to show you. It''s not very convenient on the street." Lin Chi explained.

    Fatty nodded almost immediately, led the own two bodyguards, turned and walked towards the empty corner behind the arena.

    ¡ª¡ªThis kind of crappy lie that would be instantly dismantled by humans with normal intelligence has become a "justified and well-founded" reason for the NPC.

    Realizing this, Lin Chi didn''t say anything, just stretched his right hand under the gray cloak and silently grasped the cold pistol handle.

    Follow Fatty and the two bodyguards to the end of the dark alley behind the arena where no one will notice. The fat man in the suit said, "Two days ago, a slum-born b*****d killed one of my bodyguards and took his gun. I have no face. All you have to do is kill her. ..."

    "Oh oh." Lin Chi pretended to listen carefully, looking for a time to do it.

    When he killed the boxer just now, he had noticed that there was no exact damage figure in "War Paradise", and the damage calculation rules were not like games, but rather similar to the real world.

    Now the own pistol proficiency is 1, and there are five bullets left. Although the proficiency is really low, it should still be able to hit within a distance of less than three meters.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi lowered his head and looked at the hands of the two bodyguards behind him and the pistol holsters hung around their waists.

    Then, he silently started the countdown:

    Three, two, one.

    Do it!

    At that moment, this old player who had experienced many battles moved like a godly aid, and drew his spear at lightning speed!

    boom!

    A shot smashed the head of the bodyguard standing on the left, and Lin Chi''s right hand was numb with recoil. His power attribute is completely enough to use a pistol, but his low proficiency makes it difficult to shoot.

    "what!"

    Witnessing the bodyguard being killed, the fat man screamed in horror and started to run backwards. The other bodyguard quickly drew his pistol and aimed at Lin Chi''s chest!

    Seeing that the opponent was about to resist, Lin Chi, who was too late to aim, fired three shots, and the other bodyguard who stood in front of him fell down with blood.

    At this time, Fatty had run ten meters and was about to rush to the street.

    "He is going to call the police."

    Realizing that the situation was not good, Lin Chi held the handle of the pistol with both hands, aimed at the opponent''s unsuspecting back in a standard shooting posture, and without hesitation, pulled the trigger again and fired the last remaining bullet.

    The gun was shot crooked without any suspense.

    "Damn proficiency." Lin Chi cursed, turned to look at the ground beside him, and immediately found a usable weapon.

    Bending down to pick up a dark red object by the wall, he lowered his figure and rushed towards Fatty''s escape.

    At the same time, his inventory popped up in his field of vision, and a series of prompts appeared:

    Slabs.

    Melee weapons (can be thrown).

    Item level: Normal.

    General-purpose weapon, can be used without proficiency. Requires minimum strength value: 7. The strength value required to reach the maximum attack power: 12.

    "Plate is a civilian weapon that can be seen everywhere, and it can exert great lethality in the hands of masters. It can be said to be a must-have for home travel. Bricks are in hand, I have the world!"

    Without time to pay attention to the item introduction, Lin Chi, relying on his higher physical attributes than ordinary people, rushed behind Fatty in three steps and two steps, lifting a brick and smashing it into the opponent''s skull.

    With a crisp sound, the battle is over.

    Throwing away the blood-stained bricks, Lin Chi looked around, and after confirming that his actions had not been seen by others, he began to check the results of the battle:

    Except for pistol proficiency reaching 2 points, other attributes have not changed at all. And the previous task named "Killing People and Killing the Mouth" has also changed from a yellow complete state to a gray uncompleted state.

    However, to Lin Chi, who didn''t want to take on this task, this kind of thing was completely irrelevant.

    "This is the correct way to play a sandbox game." He laughed.

    After groping on Fatty''s body, he found three thousand dollars in cash and a car key. In addition, there is a blurry photo.

    ¡ª¡ªIn this way, there is no punishment for killing the NPC in "War Paradise", but you can also search for loot.

    However, things should not be so simple.

    Lin Chi knows very well that if there is really no penalty for killing NPCs, players can make a fortune by slaughtering NPCs madly, and the difficulty is too low.

    In this kind of open world game, killing will have a punishment mechanism, for example...

    Lin Chi didn''t have time to go back and search for the bodies of the two bodyguards. From the alley in front of him, there were messy footsteps and a gloomy male voice:

    "I heard the gunshot just now, right here!"

    Before he could finish his words, he saw three flat-headed men wearing long black trench coats and sunglasses appearing at the entrance of the alley, staring at each other.

    Dark blue epaulettes hung from the shoulders of these people''s clothes, and the epaulettes were painted with rough shield patterns. Their right hands were pressed on the holsters around their waists, and they were obviously ready to draw their guns.

    At the same time, in the upper right corner of Lin Chi''s field of vision, two purple four-pointed stars appeared continuously, and they were also very intimately explained in text beside them:

    You have reached the Wanted Index 2. City guards are trying to arrest you, they may use lethal force.

    "I admit, you are still stronger now..." Lin Chi whispered.

    Then he picked up the brick at his feet.

 Chapter 5 The First Blood

    "Uh-huh."

    A handsome young man in casual clothes standing on the sidewalk stretched out his hand and rubbed his hair. After clearing his throat, he reported a name that was completely inconsistent with his appearance:

    "Hello everyone, I am your good friend "Terminator"."

    In front of the boy, there was a translucent gray ball floating, and the lens in the center of the ball was facing the boy''s face.

    Although the sphere was obviously higher than the city''s technological level by more than one level, the pedestrians passing by the teenager continued to rush on as if they hadn''t seen it at all.

    The reason is simple: the NPC can''t see that thing.

    If you want to broadcast live in the brain imaging game, it is naturally impossible to be like an old-fashioned computer game.

    You only need to share the screen picture and you are done.

    It requires special in-game props, to be precise, a program to record the in-game screen and transmit it to the external network.

    The prop called "spherical camera" used by the teenager is the only designated live broadcast channel for the anchors in the game "Heaven of War".

    "Well, this time I started a new game, and the random map I got was''City of Chaos''..."

    Having said this, the teenager coughed in a panic, and added: "It was just a mistake last time. I will definitely not be the first to leave this time. I promise."

    As an unknown anchor who has just started live broadcasting, there are less than a hundred viewers in the Terminator''s live broadcast room, but his attitude is still very serious.

    After all, a rookie anchor like him, if he fishes all day long, he will definitely finish playing, at least he has to be "dedicated" to have a chance to get ahead.

    Unfortunately, he was killed when he first entered the map last time and gave him blood. This time the Terminator has also become a lot more cautious.

    This time, instead of conducting live broadcasts in unmanned corners as last time, he chose one of the safest locations in the city-large streets.

    In this city, it is not the police who is responsible for maintaining order, but the hired private security company "Silver Shield."

    The guards of the Silver Shield, all wearing long black windbreakers and sunglasses, were scattered in various locations in the city, attacking anyone who dared to commit illegal acts.

    The more people there are, the more guards there will be. The reason why the Terminator feels at ease is also because while he is talking, there are already no less than ten black guards passing by him.

    ¡ª¡ªWhat can happen in this kind of place?

    Thinking of this, the boy smiled brightly at the camera.

    Then he heard the roar of a high-horsepower engine from the west end of the street.

    The pedestrians on the sidewalk burst out with screams and dispersed backwards. Before the Terminator knew what was going on behind him, he saw a gleaming cylindrical object, rapidly expanding in his field of vision.

    clang!

    The young man who was accurately hit on the head by the flying garbage bin twitched and fell to the ground like a knocked out salted fish, and an expanding pool of blood suddenly appeared under his body.

    At the last moment of "life", the Terminator widened his eyes and looked innocently at the black Buick car that was speeding down the street and several security company SUVs that followed in pursuit. With mixed feelings in my heart, I finally suffocated a word:If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.

    "Dry..."

    Before the voice was over, the boy''s body turned into data fragments and disappeared.

    Subsequently, the other ninety-nine players still alive on the map all saw the announcement message that appeared in their field of vision:

    The player "Terminator" was killed!

    Congratulations to the player "Countercurrent" for winning the first blood of this game! The player will get a little attribute value and a reward of ten thousand dollars!

    Lin Chi, who was driving hurriedly across the street, naturally saw this message. However, he had no time to celebrate at this time. He just added that little attribute value to his luck, so that the originally failed luck value finally reached 10 points.

    "Under what circumstances can you kill someone by hitting a trash can?"

    He muttered and stomped the accelerator, driving this high-horsepower chariot hurriedly forward.

    Driving a vehicle in "Heaven of War" seems complicated, but actually only needs to control the accelerator, brake and steering wheel.

    After all, by 2035, self-driving vehicles have become popular in the real world, and few people except racers have touched the steering wheel. If the driving operation in the game is too cumbersome, it will undoubtedly make it difficult to Ascension.

    "These bastards are chasing really tight..."

    Lin Chi glanced at the rearview mirror, and was immediately dazzled by the red and blue lights.

    Because he robbed a car from the street and brought down three guards by the way, his wanted index has reached three stars. Four SUVs with blue stripes and shields painted on their bodies are chasing after them.

    Lin Chi knew that as long as he got out of the car, he was shot to death. If he wanted to survive, he had to escape the chase of the guards.

    So the question is: what should I do to get rid of these bastards?

    The engine has reached its limit, causing the temperature inside the car to begin to Ascension, Lin Chi can even hear the screams of the chassis and tires of this car, and the street scene in front of him has also turned into blurred lights and shadows.

    But even if the own speed is close to 200 kilometers per hour, the SUVs are still clinging to the rear of the car, and there is no sign of being thrown away. Instead, they are getting closer.

    Seeing this scene, even Lin Chi, who was once known as the "old driver" in racing games, felt a sense of inexplicable powerlessness.

    ¡ª¡ªIf you continue like this, you will be killed. It''s time to find a breakthrough.

    Thinking of this, he slammed the steering wheel to the right, violently overtook a green off-road vehicle in front, and by the way, he turned off the front of the opponent.

    When the off-road vehicle hurriedly dodged to the side lane, an SUV behind happened to chase over¡ª¡ª

    boom!

    After the terribly loud noise, the two cars that collided turned into a mass of twisted wreckage, and the passengers in the car turned into meat sauce before they could even say a last word.

    The shining metal fragments exploded in all directions, swept across like an oversized shotgun, and instantly knocked down several pedestrians on the side of the street. There was a burst of screaming and wailing from the street.

    After successfully solving a car, Lin Chi still frowned-I wonder if the AI had a bug during the test. In his opinion, the driving skills of the guards in this game are too strong.

    It''s just as difficult to get rid of these bastards by car!

    But even so, he did not give up his efforts, but his eyes widened, staring at the blurry street scene ahead.

    ¡ª¡ªIt''s not your style to die miserably at the beginning of the game as soon as you enter the game.

    So now, it''s time for these stupid AIs to see your true strength!

    Lin Chi was planning to make a desperate move, but the scene in front of him stopped for a moment, and then suddenly returned to normal.

    At that moment, his body, the vehicle he was driving, and the entire space around him suddenly appeared "stuck" for a moment.

    If you are a novice, I might be confused, but an old player like Lin Chi naturally knows what this pause means in brain imaging games:

    "Online repair?"

    Lin Chi noticed that the speed of several SUVs that were still chasing after them suddenly slowed down a lot, and they were dumped out of sight within ten seconds.

    At the same time, a system announcement popped up in the lower right corner of his sight:

    "We found a bug that the city guards are too difficult to get rid of at a moderately wanted level. The in-game corrections have been made. The "War of Heaven" is still in the testing stage. There may be some bugs, and our programmers will deal with them immediately. ."

    "..."

    Seeing the announcement, Lin Chi was too lazy to complain anymore, but he turned a corner and rushed into the underground parking lot on the side of the street, confirmed that there was no guard to catch up, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

    Sitting in the car and waiting for a minute, his Wanted Index dropped back to 0, and the purple star that kept flashing in the upper right corner of his vision finally disappeared completely.

    After successfully escaping the pursuit, Lin Chi grabbed the white shirt on the back seat of the car that should have been bought by the car owner, and put on the black trousers beside him, replacing the "rags" on his body.

    After changing his clothes, he opened the door and got out of the car, stood in the dimly lit underground parking lot, and sighed long.

    ¡ª¡ªJust now, I seemed to be a little too excited.

    As for why this situation occurs, the reason is actually very simple:

    In the only Realm I am good at, I just came in and suffered a miserable defeat, which is really unreasonable.

    "You should mature a little too."

    Lin Chi laughed self-deprecatingly, turned and walked towards the exit of the parking lot.

 Chapter 6 Heroic NPC

    Leaving the underground parking lot and returning to the virtual sunlight, Lin Chi first observed the surrounding situation and made sure that no player was in ambush before crossing the street to the "steam clothing store" on the opposite side.

    In addition to the peculiar name, the decoration and layout of this store are also different from ordinary stores.

    When I walked to the door of the store, I saw that there was not a poster of a handsome and beautiful girl on the windowpane, but a picture of a fat middle-aged white man wearing glasses. The guy also showed an amiable smile on his face, his expression revealed A breath of profiteers.

    It seems that this person should be a role like the shop owner. However, Lin Chi didn''t care about the details at this time, but strode into the store and bought a discounted black briefcase for five hundred dollars.

    Although the price is a bit more expensive, in this game, the backpack is considered a necessity.

    Under the surprised gaze of the beauty salesperson, he stuffed the pistol, cash, and all other props he was carrying into his briefcase.

    The black briefcase seemed small, but it was as deep as a bottomless pit. Even if a lot of things were put in, the weight and size remained unchanged.

    In order for the player to play the game more smoothly, there is no need to worry about the storage of props.

    In terms of carrying items, "War Paradise" is not as completely realistic as some hardcore games, but like old-fashioned role-playing games, it continues to adopt the surreal "dimensional package" setting.

    Even this small backpack has almost unlimited storage space. Whether it''s piles of banknotes or an assault rifle that is longer than a backpack, you can put it directly in.

    Of course, the props that can be put in a small backpack are limited to small-sized props that the player can directly hold, and cannot be put in living things. It is still impossible to pack a tank or a kitten into a backpack.

    However, for Lin Chi, who didn''t have many props, such a backpack was enough.

    Lin Chi glanced at the mirror in the store, and saw that the lumps on his face had disappeared. Although he looked decadent, his appearance became quite normal after putting on new clothes.

    He nodded narcissistically, and placed a few more poses by the way, which caused the NPC clerk to look contemptuously.

    Lin Chi is quite satisfied with the way he is now. After all, in the commercial area, if you continue to wear the cloak before, it will definitely attract the attention of other players.Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

    He didn''t stay in the clothing store for too long, so he took to the streets again, mixing into the crowd of NPCs.

    Although he successfully won the first drop of blood, Lin Chi had no plans to continue to find someone to fight.

    The first thing he needs to do is to figure out the role determination mechanism of this game:

    Looking around, these NPC characters on the street do not display the health bar and name.

    Although the kill when he drove away just now was very hurried, Lin Chi remembered clearly that he did not see a player standing on the sidewalk at the time, but only after killing the opponent did the system prompt pop up.

    So the question is: how to find the location of other players?

    If the players will never reveal their position, this game may not be finished in another year. After all, in a city of this size, if you want to find an enemy, even if you know what the opponent looks like, you are still looking for a needle in a haystack.

    Lin Chi knew that in the game, there must be a way to confirm the positions of other players. but...

    "I should read the tutorial before entering the game." He smiled helplessly.

    ¡ª¡ªThat being said, while the game is still being tested, the "War of Heaven" tutorial does not actually provide any reliable information.

    Moreover, for professional players, adaptability is also a necessary quality.

    Looking at the pedestrians passing by, Lin Chi was planning to "test" it through his own method. In the lower right corner of his sight, the small red letters of the system announcement lighted up again:

    "Twenty minutes later, the first round of the "full-band scan" of this game will begin. Please be prepared. When the full-band scan starts, the locations of all players will be marked on the map with red dots. Come on, last thirty minutes."

    After reading this tip, Lin Chi rubbed his hands wretchedly, and said with a smile: "The opportunity is here."

    ¡ª¡ªUndoubtedly, this "full-band scan" that starts regularly is the killing time provided to the players by "War Paradise"!

    In other words, before the outbreak of the First World War in the City of Chaos, he still had $12,500 in funds and 20 minutes of preparation time.

    So what we have to do now is of course to buy weapons.

    After all, now I only have a broken gun rewarded by the novice tutorial, and there are no bullets yet. Participating in war with this kind of equipment is simply the rhythm of giving away heads.

    Lin Chi followed the instructions of the mini-map, crossed the sidewalk and turned a corner, entered the next block, and finally found the store he needed most at the moment:

    It was a small shop on the corner of the street. On the big sign hanging above the main entrance, a blonde girl holding an AK47 was drawn. Below is the tattered signboard: a line of crooked text is painted on it with red paint:

    "''Rainbow Six'' Weapon Shop-all the killing equipment you need is here! Many special forces elites highly recommend it!"

    Pushing open the glass door of the weapon shop and walking into the room, an unpleasant smell of gun oil hit his face. Lin Chi looked around and saw that all kinds of guns, even chainsaws and long knives, were hung on the walls. Such melee weapons.

    A bearded man wearing a body armor and a desert camouflage helmet is standing behind the counter, checking an M2 heavy machine gun on the metal table in front of him.

    "Um?"

    Seeing a customer coming in, the weapon shop owner wearing sunglasses raised his head and glanced at Lin Chi, and asked, "Boy, what are you going to buy?"

    However, Lin Chi, who originally wanted to buy weapons, suddenly stopped when he saw the other party.

    He found that, unlike the unnamed passers-by on the street outside, the weapon merchant in front of him displayed his name in small dark red letters on the right side of his head:

    "Gun Shield" Blackbeard, a hero-level character, cannot be recruited.

    As if to mark this person''s danger, behind this line of fine print, there is a conspicuous red skull icon.

    "Wait, a heroic character?"

    Realizing that he was not facing an ordinary NPC this time, Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said in a low voice, "This is interesting..."

    Before he could finish his words, he saw a blond woman wearing a black and white maid outfit walking out from behind the counter, holding a mop, and wiping the floor with perfunctory movements, leaving a few traces on the wooden floor of the weapon shop. White imprints.

    The blonde girl noticed Lin Chi''s existence, her dark blue eyes widened slightly, she raised her white right hand and waved it as a greeting, and made a lazy voice: "Ah, are there any guests here? Welcome! ..."

    Although it looks harmless, like the vicious boss of the weapons store, this "maid" is also marked with his name and identity in dark red text:

    "Rabid Dog" Satya, a hero-level character, cannot be recruited.

 Chapter 7 Gun Shield and Rabid Dog

    Even though he didn''t check the game tutorial on the official website before entering the game, Lin Chi still knew something about the follower system, one of the main systems of the game "War of Heaven".

    As the advertisement says "You can command an army", this game allows players to subdue NPC subordinates and charge for themselves.

    NPCs in the game can be roughly divided into several types.

    The most common one, as long as the player''s prestige reaches a certain level, it can be recruited through an intermediary merchant. If the prestige value is high enough, these guys will even come here especially and take the initiative to join your team.

    Obviously, the subordinates who can be subdued so easily are basically the cannon fodder of low intelligence.

    Their existence is basically similar to the hard work of the peasants of the human race, the hard work of the orcs, or the little soldiers who can only attack along the three-way line of soldiers in MOBA games. Except for some simple tasks, the only other purpose is to be sent out to die.

    Of course, "War Paradise", which regards NPC''s IQ level as one of its selling points, naturally cannot have only this level of AI. In addition to the cannon fodder type miscellaneous soldiers, there are other NPCs:

    Special characters and hero-level characters are the true essence of this game''s AI system!

    According to the official introduction, special characters are extremely rare, and the number of hero-level characters will be slightly higher. Both of these two types of NPC have common characteristics:

    Their combat power is extremely strong, and they have super abilities in the Realm they are proficient in. Only by completing specific requirements or tasks can you have the opportunity to bring such NPCs under their command.

    More importantly, according to the information provided by the game developer, special and heroic NPCs have "self-awareness"...

    Before seeing the two in the weapon shop, Lin Chi, like most players, thought that the official was completely nonsense.

    But now, he was shaken:

    ¡ª¡ªThese two guys, shouldn''t they really have consciousness?

    As a professional player, Lin Chi has his own set of judgment methods for the normal NPC behavior patterns of brain imaging games.

    In other games before, he has also encountered a player pretending to be an NPC trying to figure out himself, but without exception, he saw it through instantly and then killed the opponent directly.

    But this time, Lin Chi couldn''t identify it for a while. Are these two guys human-operated characters, or are they officially AI?

    "Why are you in a daze, are you still buying?" The black beard who was wiping the gun shouted impatiently.

    "Don''t scare the guests away, idiot." The "maid" who was sweeping the floor next to him seemed to have no respect for own boss: "If you have a better temper, we won''t even be able to eat."

    "Ah, let me take a look first." Lin Chi, who had recovered his senses, stood in front of the counter and began to look for items of interest.

    Even so, he still cares a little about these two heroic characters. Especially for the weapon shop owner with a big beard, Lin Chi always felt that he seemed to have seen this guy in an old game, but he couldn''t remember it for a while.

    Absent-mindedly, he picked up a carbon steel saber, Lin Chi''s gaze turned from the dark blade, and several lines of item introductions popped out:Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!

    MK3 carbon steel saber.

    Melee weapons.

    Item level: Sophisticated.

    General-purpose weapon, can be used without proficiency. Requires minimum strength value: 5, requires minimum agility value: 8. Reaching the maximum attack power requires agility value: 13.

    "This saber is actually a copycat, but at least it is better than a brick."

    After reading the article introduction, Lin Chi weighed the still light dagger in his hand, and asked casually, "How much is this knife?"

    As the current firearms proficiency is too low, melee weapons that do not require proficiency are more in line with his needs. Although this knife doesn''t look good at the introduction, it is enough for self-defense.

    "One thousand dollars," the boss replied.

    "It costs a thousand yuan for this broken thing? Can it be cheaper?"

    As soon as Lin Chi finished speaking, he saw the vicious shopkeeper, picked up a double-barreled shotgun and started loading bullets, and said slowly: "Do you know that there are two''prohibitions'' in my shop?" "

    "I don''t know." Lin Chi shook his head.

    "First, someone shot in my shop." Blackbeard said as he held up the shotgun and assumed a standard shooting posture: "Second, someone was bargaining with me, and the goods in this store are not discounted."

    "Count you cruel..." Lin Chi laughed.

    It sounds like, if you continue to bargain, the boss might blast Own''s head with a gun. However, he is now more interested in this so-called "prohibited matter".

    ¡ª¡ªThis seems to be a certain kind of rule, and it is still the kind that can be used.

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi didn''t say much. He just looked back at the windowpane of the weapon shop, took out ten banknotes from the briefcase to pay, took the saber into his own pocket, and then turned and left.

    When passing by Satya, the blonde maid smiled and whispered, "Happy transaction."

    "Don''t laugh at me." Lin Chi said as he pushed open the door of the weapon shop¡ª¡ª

    Then, three people stood in front of him.

    In fact, Lin had noticed that someone was staring outside the gun shop. He was not too surprised. He just pointed out a "cold man" standing in the middle who was wearing a gray shirt and had a flat head. Provocative question:

    "These two are your boyfriends?"

    Obviously, the player with a beautified appearance in the middle is the player, and the two people standing on both sides are full of bitter and bitter faces and look like idiots. They should be the NPC recruited by this player.

    "a**hole, do you think you can leave alive?" The player put his right hand into his pocket and held something while speaking.

    He is about to draw a gun.

    Realizing this, Lin Chi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his tone of voice sounded very meaningful: "You really want to do this? There are many guards on this street..."

    Perhaps because he was racing on the street just now, he noticed that there were more black guards in the crowd than before. Even if this guy took two subordinates, the unscrupulous murder in the street was completely deadly.

    Unsurprisingly, after hearing this, the player hesitated for a while and looked around to observe the surrounding conditions.

    At this time, Lin Chi had already pulled out the carbon steel saber he had just bought¡ª¡ª

    Click!

    The opponent''s reaction was astonishingly fast. The moment Lin Chi took the knife, he had already retreated sharply. The knife wiped his gray windbreaker, but it still left a shocking scar on his right arm.

    At the same time, two purple stars appeared again in the upper right corner of Lin Chi''s field of vision. As he reached the Wanted Index 2, the black guards patrolling nearby began to quickly surround him.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Chi took the knife back a few steps and stood at the door of the weapon shop, and at the same time he did not forget to throw a mocking sentence: "Hidden fast, how many years have you been single?"

    "Damn, do you want to die!"

    The player roared and pulled out his pistol, and fired at Lin Chi.

    If he meets other people, he might not do it, but I have to say that Lin Chi''s sluggish appearance, the ability to pull hatred is more than a grade higher than that of ordinary players.

    Being mocked by such an unreliable b*****d is really unbearable...

    Because of his low proficiency, he also encountered the same embarrassment as when Lin Chi slaughtered NPCs-even after firing several shots, he was shot crooked, and the bullet hit the floor-to-ceiling window of "Rainbow Six Weapon Store".

    With a crash, the window glass of the gun shop shattered to the ground, and the original chatting in the shop suddenly stopped.

    When the two subordinates next to the opponent drew their guns, Lin Chi had already hid in the weapon shop. I saw the boss and maid who were still in a "happy and happy" state just now, and they had already stood in the middle of the weapon shop!

    The two figures standing in the weapon shop, one tall and one short, brought out an incredible sense of oppression. The two of them stared at the bullet hole on the wall of the house without blinking, and the whole body seemed to be lit up with scarlet blood. .

    Facing the two NPCs who seemed to be exuding murderous aura, Lin Chi smiled and stood aside, giving up the position of the main entrance of the weapon shop:

    "Then, let me see the strength of heroic characters."

 Chapter 8 The King of Slaughter

    "Idiot, don''t fight, it''s time to go!"

    Seeing that the black guards on the street began to surround themselves, the player who had just shot and broke the glass called out and ordered the two subordinates to put away their weapons.

    Although he wanted to kill the b*****d who hid in the gun shop, he knew that if he didn''t run anymore, he would only be killed first.

    So now, they can only "bear the humiliation" and retreat first.

    Thinking of this, this cool-looking man with a handsome appearance turned his head to look at a black sports car parked in the alley next to him.

    Before he stared at the player, he had already prepared the retreat route in advance. Now, as long as you get in the car before the guard catches yourself, you can leave this place safely.

    However, when he thought of the guy''s extremely powerful mocking face just now, another anger surged into his heart.

    Before leaving, he raised his middle finger at the broken glass of the gun shop and yelled:

    "Miscellaneous, wait for me..."

    boom!

    A gunshot interrupted his cursing, and a burning sensation spread from his fingertips to his body.

    The "sporty man" who was scolding was surprised to find that his raised middle finger was gone!

    "I rely on..."

    Unexpectedly, he was surprised and angry for a while. He took out the pistol just put in his pocket with his left hand, barely aimed at it, and squeezed the trigger at the humanoid shadow standing in front of the gun shop.

    This time, he was lucky to hit the opponent''s chest, but what he heard was not the sound of bullets tearing flesh and blood, but a crisp crash.

    clang!

    The player who just fired the gun couldn''t help being stunned, because it was not the b*****d who came out of the gun shop.

    A burly man with a black beard strode out, and the eyes under the sunglasses seemed to show a trace of blood. He wore a heavy helmet on his head. The heavy equipment on his body was not so much a bulletproof vest, but more like ancient times. Heavy armor.

    The bullet just now didn''t even leave any trace on the bulletproof plate on the brawny man''s chest.

    "Did you shoot at my shop?"

    The brawny man with a bullet belt on his shoulder shook his hand. The light machine gun painted in desert camouflage was different from ordinary machine guns. The front of the gun body was equipped with a thick fan-shaped glass shell, which looked like a transparent side. Shield.

    Seeing the heavily armed and oppressive "killing machine" standing in front of him, the player was speechless for a while. Then, after seeing the "hero-level character" prompt above the opponent''s head, turn around without saying anything!

    It''s a pity that of course his movements are not fast enough for bullets.

    The black beard in heavy armor shook his head, and a deadly tongue of fire was ejected from the muzzle of the machine gun in his arms, which instantly smashed the player and the two subordinates around him into a sieve, and fell to the ground with blood. , Never move again.

    Following the death of this player, a system announcement appeared again in the eyes of the remaining players in the City of Chaos:

    "The player''living under the crotch'' was killed by an NPC!"

    "Friend, your name might as well be random." Lin Chi shook his head.

    At this moment, he had already taken advantage of the opportunity of the guards to focus on Blackbeard, sneaking into a small coffee shop on the side of the street without knowing it, sitting by the window and ordering a latte. Rao I am interested in watching the excitement.

    If "living under the crotch" saw Lin Chi''s current condition, he might have a heart attack.

    Seeing the on-the-spot tension on the street, Lin Chi took a sip from the coffee cup in his hand. The taste that was exactly the same as the real world filled the mouth of the virtual character.

    Eating and drinking in the game is naturally impossible to fill your stomach, and it is completely useless in a practical sense.

    However, being able to experience food in the real world can be regarded as a good adjustment during the game. Because of this, the function of eating and drinking is basically added to the current brain imaging games.Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

    "So, that''s what the gun shield is like..."

    Seeing the light machine gun with a "shield" in Blackbeard''s hand, Lin Chi finally understood the origin of Blackbeard''s "Gun Shield" title.

    Because this NPC who carried a machine gun to kill in the street attracted all the hatred of the guards. Lin Chi''s original wanted level had also disappeared at this time.

    Therefore, now he is also sitting in the cafe with peace of mind, waiting for the good show to begin.

    After all, the battle that erupts in this kind of virtual reality is much more exciting than a Hollywood blockbuster!

    The gun shop owner armed to his teeth seemed to have his own aura of fear, causing the pedestrians on the street to start running around again. Only the city guards wearing black windbreakers remained in place, pulling out their pistols and aiming them. black beard.

    "Put down the gun and raise your hand to surrender!" one of the guards shouted.

    "Who are you talking to?"

    Blackbeard curled his mouth, and suddenly started shooting again without warning. The three guards standing in the front had no time to react, and they were bombarded into rags by the bombardment on their faces.

    "Who do you think I am? Daddy retired from the SEAL!"

    Blackbeard roared and poured bullets at the guards on the street, and the fierce howling even overwhelmed the gunfire: "Do you think I will continue to be patient? Let those bastards weaken me again and again? You trash see clearly! This is the complete form of the''gun shield''!"

    The roar from the street where the gun battle broke out caused the windowpanes of the coffee shop to tremble slightly. Hearing Blackbeard''s speech, Lin Chi finally remembered where he had seen this guy:

    "Is it "Rainbow Six: Siege"?"

    Because this game is really too old, Lin Chi only played a few rounds. He didn''t know the characters very well. He only remembered that there was indeed a member of the SEAL team. The feature was that he could install a shield on the rifle. .

    However, the thing in that guy''s hand is much more powerful than an assault rifle...

    Deafening gunfire mixed with screams covered the whole street. With Blackbeard''s indiscriminate shooting, this block suddenly turned into bloody The Underworld. Pedestrians and guards who could not dodge far fell in a pool of blood. .

    Although the guards were also fighting back, the small pistols in their hands could not cause any damage to the heavy body armor on Blackbeard.

    This is no longer a battle, but a complete unilateral slaughter!

    However, the city guard should not only have this combat power.

    Just thinking of this, Lin Chi noticed a few military-green jeeps rushing forward and braked abruptly not far from the gun shop.

    Before the car stopped, there were more than a dozen people wearing urban camouflage uniforms and wearing berets.

    The soldier in the cap jumped down, and the shell of the rifle in his hand flashed a dangerous cold light.

    Although he couldn''t see the status bar of the NPC, Lin Chi knew that Blackbeard''s wanted level should have risen to the highest level.

    After all, the people who came this time were no longer guards on patrol, but real soldiers.

    The soldiers who just got out of the car used the jeep as a cover, raised the M4A1 carbine in their hands, and fired at the black beard who was slaughtering the guards. The black beard embarrassed and hid in the gun shop.

    "These slivers are really fierce." Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and stared at the reversal of the battle on the street.

    ¡ª¡ªFortunately, when I fled, my wanted level was only 3. If it was higher, I would definitely be killed directly when I encountered these soldiers without equipment.

    However, Lin Chi is more curious now, where did the other heroic NPC in the gun shop go?

    After the battle broke out, he never saw Satya, the "rabbit dog" who was also a heroic character. The guy was obviously murderous, but he didn''t come out. It only showed what she was preparing...

    Lin Chi was thinking about it when he heard the black beard''s roar from the gun shop that was being fired:

    "Mad dog!"

    "Is it a rabid dog?" The blonde maid''s complaining sounded a little dull, as if she was in a confined space.

    Then, the table in front of Lin Chi and the seat under him began to tremble slightly.

    He was guessing what was going on when he saw a dazzling white light suddenly lit up behind the sealed iron fence next to the gun shop¡ª¡ª

    boom!

    The loud noise of the explosion directly shattered the windowpanes around him, and a violent air wave swept across the street. A jeep and four soldiers beside it suddenly disappeared into the burning fireball.

    "f**k, what''s the situation?" The coffee cup in Lin Chi''s hand was frightened.

    Before he could say anything, he saw an M1A2 heavy tank, smashed through the fence door and rushed out. The track left two traces on the fragile street. The khaki outer armor was painted with a husky pattern with tongue out.

    "That''s okay?" Lin Chi''s eyes widened.

    "Let''s go to The Underworld!" The manic female voice burst out from the speakers installed on the tank turret. Compared with the maid who couldn''t lift the energy just now, she was totally different.

    I have to say that the AI ??of the soldiers in this game is not low. They did not die one by one like the black guards, but turned around and fled immediately when they saw the tank appearing.

    But... it''s too late.

    After another shot, the remaining soldiers even screamed before they were blown away by the shock wave of the explosion.

    By this time, almost all the soldiers had been shot to death, and there was only one seriously wounded guy who was still crawling forward with difficulty, leaving a long blood trail behind his body.

    Seeing that there is still a living mouth, the "rabbit" did not choose to take another shot to end the opponent''s life, but instead drove the tank and stopped in front of the crawling soldier:

    "I will... crush you bit by bit?"

    After speaking, the left track of this 60-ton killing machine ran over the crippled legs of the soldier.

    The terrible scream that broke out then shook Lin Chi''s tinnitus for a while.

    I thought that the black beard who was slaughtered in the street was cruel enough. It was not until the "Brazy Dog" came out that Lin Chi realized that the real abnormality was not the retired SEAL soldier, but the seemingly lazy maid in his shop... ¡­

    Amid the howling of the soldiers killing pigs, the tank was slightly retreated, and then moved forward again, running over the opponent''s legs that had been crushed into pieces of paper.

    Seeing this cruel scene, even if he knew it was in the game, Lin Chi still had a subtle sense of discomfort.

    "How did this game pass the review?" he said to himself.

    Then, Lin Chi suddenly noticed that in the alley to the right of the gun shop, there was a dark human-shaped shadow standing.

 Chapter 9 Full Band Scanning

    Sitting in the coffee shop where the glass was shattered, Lin Chi turned his gaze to the alley next to the gun shop, and saw a tall guy standing motionless there, not knowing what he was thinking about.

    From this angle, he couldn''t see the other person''s appearance, and the guy was still wearing a dark cloak, and he couldn''t see his face at all.

    Is it a player?

    According to Lin Chi''s previous experience of confronting "living under the crotch", when observing the player, as long as his eyes stay for a few seconds, a gray skull icon will appear on the opponent''s head, marking his player identity.

    However, there was no prompt on this strange guy.

    In other words... is he an NPC?

    But under this kind of bullet rain, the NPCs on the street will have run away long ago, unless there is something wrong with this guy''s AI, or...

    Lin Chi frowned slightly.

    Then, he saw the strange guy in the cloak, turned and walked slowly into the alley, disappearing around the corner.

    Looking at the way this person left, it didn''t seem to be running away, but rather it was more like a mission accomplished.

    As the weird guy left, the tank driven by the rabies finally crushed the soldiers into meat sauce, retreated back, and stopped in front of the main entrance of the weapon shop.

    "It''s time to go!" The maid''s voice floated out of the tank.

    Under the silent Lin Chi''s gaze, the black beard who had taken off the heavy body armor, jumped in from the entrance above the tank turret. The tank carrying two heroic characters started again, ran over the bodies of several soldiers, and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

    As the tank left, a dialog box popped up again in the lower right corner of his sight:

    "The City of Chaos officially notified that a tank was destroying the streets in Xicheng District. Our soldiers suffered heavy casualties. If anyone can stop the massacre, they will receive 100 dominance points."

    "Heroic mission-Chariot of destruction has been triggered, do you accept it?"

    Recalling the scene he saw just now, Lin Chi decisively chose "No", after all, with his current equipment, the odds of winning against tanks were zero. and...

    He rubbed his hands trivially, walked out of the cafe, and walked towards the empty weapon shop.

    In fact, Lin Chi just wanted to test the combat effectiveness of hero-level NPCs, but didn''t expect things to develop into this way.

    Now that the owner of the weapon shop has run away, it is time to enter the shop and plunder!

    Striding across the bloody streets and entering the weapon shop, Lin Chi''s eyes suddenly lit up with excitement:

    As he expected, because the two guys ran too fast, the weapons in the shop were almost intact, and all kinds of killing weapons were still hung on the walls of the shop.

    Lin Chi walked to the front of the wall on the left hand side and removed an AKS-74U hanging on the wall.

    Then, he immediately realized that the hand feels a bit wrong.

    "Damn, is it a model?"

    Realizing that the "gun" in his hand was just an ornament, Lin Chi just threw away the metallic plastic shell and discovered the depressing truth.

    The weapons hung on the walls of this gun shop are not authentic at all, they are all toys that can only be used for viewing.

    "Damn profiteer." Lin Chi cursed with a smile, and walked to the display cabinet.The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

    Even if the guns on the wall are fakes, the saber that I just bought is definitely the real one, and that saber is on display in the cabinet.

    Unsurprisingly, the weapons left on the counter are indeed genuine. Although they are basically melee weapons. but--

    "This is not bad..."

    Looking at a certain "big killer" displayed in the showcase, Lin Chi rubbed his hands and smiled excitedly.

    Five minutes later, when he left the "Rainbow Six Weapon Shop", his backpack was already full of melee weapons looted from the weapon shop.

    In a sense, melee weapons are now more reliable than firearms. After all, most melee weapons do not require proficiency and are very suitable for use in the early stage of the game.

    Back on the street where the war had just broken out and many corpses piled up, Lin Chi immediately turned a corner and entered the next block. There are no NPCs alive on the street just now. If you continue to stay, it is likely to become a live target for other players.

    He had just walked onto the street next to him when he saw four ambulances whizzing past the street with police lights on, and galloping towards the bloody murder scene.

    Before the sirens of the ambulance disappeared, the game prompt appeared in Lin Chi''s field of vision again:

    "Full-band scanning is officially started, remaining time: 29 minutes. The positions of all players have been displayed on the map, I wish you a happy hunting!"

    As the full-band scan started, dozens of red dots suddenly lit up in the miniature map on the right side of Lin Chi''s field of vision.

    Seeing that there were three red dots within less than 500 meters from him, he turned around without saying a word, rushed into a 20-story office building next to him, took the elevator to the fifth floor, and stood at the end of the corridor and looked down from the window. Streets.

    I don''t know the strength of other players. It''s obvious that the direct brainless charge is a death behavior. It''s better to observe the situation first.

    Like Lin Chi''s thoughts, the three red dots scattered on the nearby street did not immediately move. They stayed in their original positions for about a minute before starting to move quickly.

    Lin Chi was observing the actions of the three people, only to see a few red dots on the far side of the map dimmed, and then three more kill prompts lit up:

    The player "Dark Sword" was killed by the player "Frankenstein"!

    The player "does not exist" was killed by the player "Frankenstein"!

    The player "Fragrant Chicken" was killed by the player "Frankenstein"!

    Seeing these three prompts, Lin Chi frowned slightly: "This product is pretty amazing."

    ¡ª¡ªIn the early stage of the game, you can kill three people in 1V3. If you didn''t hit the big luck like when you got one blood, this Frankenstein is definitely not weak.

    As if excited by Frankenstein''s record, with this round of three kills, several more kill prompts began to appear one after the other.

    The first large-scale PVP battle in this city has finally officially started!

    Although there are three conditions for victory in the Death competition, you only need to achieve any of them to win the game, but in the just-opening test of "War Paradise", most of the players are still in a groping state, and there is no reliable strategy.

    The victory condition for killing the final BOSS in the map is "Strategic Frenzy". The difficulty of completion is undoubtedly very high. After all, let alone the final BOSS now, players can''t even find a normal BOSS.

    As for replacing the supreme leader on the map, the victory condition "ruler" for ascending to the position of the ruler, no one knows how to complete it...

    So now, if you want to win this Death game, you can only achieve the simplest and rude "killer"!

    ¡ª¡ªKill at least seven players and survive when all other players die. Of the three winning conditions, this is undoubtedly the simplest one.

    Lin Chi has already killed one player and only needs to kill six more people and ensure that he survives to the end to complete this winning condition.

    However, I want to survive to the end in a melee of a hundred people. Obviously it is not so easy...

    In line with the principle of "making a fortune with silence", Lin Chi did not act rashly, but continued to stand in the corridor, while observing the street below, paying attention to the movements of the three red dots nearby on the map.

    Seeing a red dot less than two hundred meters away from the office building he was in, it was slowly moving towards this building. Lin Chi opened his backpack, and when he was about to take out his weapon, his movements suddenly stopped.

    ¡ª¡ªAn abnormal change appeared on the nearby map.

    Suddenly another red dot rushed over and overlapped with the red dot that was walking towards the office building. Then, one of the red dots dimmed, and the kill prompt popped out at that moment:

    The player "Queen Fenghua" was killed by the player "Knife King"!

    The guy who had just completed a killing did not stop, but continued to rush towards another nearby player at a speed of nearly ten meters per second.

    The player "NEC" was killed by the player "Knife King"!

    The player "The Underworld Hydra" was killed by the player "Knife King"!

    "This kid..." Lin Chi squinted his eyes and looked at the red dot on the map that was rapidly approaching the office building, and couldn''t help blowing a whistle.

    Even he didn''t expect that in just two minutes, this guy named Sword Emperor would directly kill three nearby players. Now the only people left in this block are himself and the Sword Emperor!

    Judging from the situation shown on the map, the sword king''s fighting style fits his name very well-this guy rushed all the way to the enemy, killing the opponent with a single blow at very close range, obviously using a melee weapon.

    Realizing that he met a master this time, Lin Chi did not panic, but licked his lips, suddenly showing a weird smile on his face:

    "Want to fight me close? I''m afraid you will regret it..."

    He turned away from the window and walked into the dimly lit corridor.

 Chapter 10 The Sword Emperor

    The blood-stained leather boots stepped on the floor tiles in the lobby of the office building, leaving scarlet marks.

    A man wearing a black one-piece combat uniform, as the horrified gazes of the surrounding office workers, strode into the stairwell. The six scabbards of various lengths hung on his body silently warned the others. " Don''t come close".

    The guy''s limbs were unusually long and thin, and looked a bit like an ape, with a cruel smile on his bruised and tough face.

    "Hehehe..."

    He grinned loudly with his sharp teeth, and jumped up the stairs in two steps in three steps. The speed of the upstairs almost surpassed the full-speed elevator.

    The reason why this person sets his character''s appearance like this is also out of consideration for flexibility. As a thorough pragmatist, he didn''t care about his appearance in the game, and even adjusted his face to be uglier.

    Unlike other players, this guy named "Knife King" did not carry any firearms, except for six various sabers, there were no other weapons.

    This is exactly the way he chose to fight.

    The King of Blades has always proudly declared that he is the most superb player of Saber Technique in brain imaging games. And those guys who dared to raise different opinions obediently shut their mouths after experiencing his melee ability.

    When "War Paradise" first started testing, the King of Swords immediately joined this new barbaric stage.

    Although this time it was not the ancient map he liked, but a modern map. However, the Sword Emperor, who has killed three players instantly, is obviously confident in own''s strength.

    One hundred and seven meters, one hundred and six meters, one hundred and five meters...

    Seeing the distance shown on the map getting closer, the slender man pulled out a cavalry knife hung around his waist, and the slightly curved blade flashed a sharp cold light.

    Quickly rushing to the fifth floor, the Sword Emperor noticed that the distance between himself and the red dot in the office building was already less than 20 meters!

    "Hidden here? Hehehe..."

    The "ape" gave a wretched smile, turned and walked to the corridor on the right.

    In the real world, he has always had an almost pathological preference for all kinds of knives. The birth of brain imaging games made him ecstatic.

    ¡ª¡ªYou can kill people with a knife in a virtual world that is almost real. What could be better than this?

    Unlike ordinary players, the Sword Emperor does not actually have a strong desire to win. He has only two goals in this game:

    Collect rare knives that can be taken out of the map and put into the warehouse. And... Use the knife to get rid of those incompetent opponents!

    Because of this, he is so active now.

    ¡ª¡ªIf you want to kill in close combat, you can only take advantage of it now. In the late stage of the game, after the players'' firearms proficiency rises, there will be no more chances!

    boom!

    Kicked open the wooden door of the office, the Sword Emperor lowered his figure and rushed into the room, like a cheetah hunting, and hurriedly turned towards the Daoist shadow in front of the office window.Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

    He thought that the other party would be the same as the three idiots before, drew his gun in a panic, but saw the guy standing there unavoidably, holding a black saber in his left hand.

    Realizing that the other party was planning to fight with him, the Sword Emperor bared his sharp shark teeth with a smile, rushed to the back of the guy in a blink of an eye, and slashed his backhand to the back of the opponent''s neck!

    The white arc of light flashed, and the moment before the cervical spine was cut by the blade, the man in the white shirt retreated at a ghostly speed, and the left hand holding the saber slammed into the heart of the Sword Emperor.

    Faced with an unexpected attack, the Sword Sovereign did not panic, but suddenly turned sideways, his slender body made a "two-stage jump in the air" that violated the laws of physics, and instantly withdrew three meters away, inserting the cavalry knife in his hand back.

    The scabbard pulled out a machete one meter long.

    "Interesting..." While the Sword Emperor spoke in a dumb voice, he looked at the enemy he was fighting against.

    The guy was dressed in a white shirt and trousers. He was dressed like the office worker NPC he met in the office building. He had slightly longer hair. The expression on his face looked like he might fall asleep at any time, and he looked listless. .

    The Sword Emperor thought that his opponent would take the opportunity to draw a gun. To his surprise, the other party did not draw a gun. He just changed the black saber that he had held in his left hand to his right hand, and then raised the dark blade in front of him.

    "The left hand is not very convenient," the man said.

    Seeing this scene, he thought that the other party was a left-handed sword king, and his heart suddenly filled with nameless anger.

    ¡ª¡ªIn this way, this guy''s dominant hand is actually his right hand. He didn''t use his full strength just now?

    It''s time to let this b*****d feel the difference in strength!

    The Sword Sovereign didn''t say anything, just with his left hand holding the hilt, he pulled out another short-handled dagger. The serrations on the dagger''s blade were like the teeth of a wild beast.

    "Second Sword Style?" the man teased.

    Before the words fell, the Sword Sovereign''s left hand lifted upwards, and the saw-blade dagger flew out like a bullet, drawing a cold light towards the enemy''s head!

    As if foreseeing the movements of the Sword Emperor, the man tilted his head to the right, and the dagger flew over his cheek, nailing it through the back glass window.

    While the opponent was distracted by avoiding Flying Daggers, the Sword Emperor instantly attacked and slashed at the man''s neck. Forcing the opponent to retreat again, he swung his empty long knife and cut off half of the screen of the monitor on the desk next to him.

    This madman who is addicted to swords, a fierce howl erupted in his throat, and his speed of swinging the sword was so fast that he created a nearly physical arc of light in front of him!

    The buzzing sound of the blade trembling, and the wind breaking the air with the blade of the blade, echoed continuously in the office.

    The man holding the dagger backed back in embarrassment, and began to circle with the Sword Emperor in the office a few squares separated by the desk.

    "Don''t run...If you have a kind, fight with me!" The Sword Emperor roared.

    This office with many obstacles affected his flexibility. And even the Sword Emperor had to admit that the opponent''s speed was faster than his own.

    What is the origin of this guy dressed like an office worker?

    While the Sword Sovereign was whispering secretly, he heard the man hiding behind the square desk speak: "You want to fight me close, don''t you?"

    "That''s right." The Sword Emperor gritted his teeth. He knew that at this distance, he could not attack the opponent at all, so he simply stopped chasing and saved his energy.

    "okay then."

    The other party said that he put away the black bladed saber and opened the briefcase that had been hanging on his waist. Then--

    "f**k..."

    Seeing the melee weapon taken out by the opponent, the ferocious expression on the Sword Emperor''s face suddenly became astonished.

    Similar to the roar of a motorcycle engine when it starts, it reverberates continuously in the office.

    "Go ahead?" The man said with a smile.

    "Wait a minute, are you... not so good?" The Emperor Dao looked at the "big killer" in the opponent''s hand with a dazed expression.

    ¡ª¡ªThat is not a knife, but a chain saw that is spinning wildly!

    Lin Chi, who had finally entered the state after the battle just now, had already automatically ignored the other party''s words, rushed up with a grinning face and waved the chainsaw, looking like a perverted murderer in a horror movie.

    At the same time, in his vision, the equipment introduction popped up as usual:

    Pneumatic chain saw YNM-3000

    Melee weapons.

    Item level: Sophisticated.

    General-purpose weapon, can be used without proficiency. Requires minimum strength value: 10. The strength value required to reach the maximum attack power: 17.

    "I got the chain saw, why do you still read the brief description of the item? Go and kill someone!"

 Chapter 11 Epic Trophy

    As the saying goes, "There will be days after the slabs, and the chain saw is still in front of the slabs." Throughout the ancient and modern times, since the invention of the chain saw, it has quickly seized the throne of the "queen weapon" in various bloody, violent and curiosity works.

    In fact, chainsaws in the real world are not very effective. The weight of this thing is too heavy, which makes it inflexible. When using it, it is easy to spray yourself with oil. In the actual battle, it is not as reliable as a chopper.

    Nevertheless, people still have a soft spot for this domineering "weapon".

    After all, whether it is its rugged appearance, the domineering sound at startup, or the refreshing smell of engine oil, it all reveals an irresistible charm, which can be regarded as a man''s romance...

    In the game "Heaven of War", the standard weapon of this murderer is naturally added.

    Moreover, the chain saw in the game is also a "special power enhanced version" that only exists in the virtual world!

    Wow!

    After a burst of bloody, brutal, and murderous images that would be mosaicked even in R-18 movies, the battle in the office came to an end.

    Lin Chi, covered in blood, put away the chain saw he got from the counter of "Rainbow Six Weapons Shop", looked around, and looked at the dilapidated office, the sawn desk, and the splash on the wall. Large blood stains.

    As the broken body that fell in the house slowly disappeared, a kill prompt appeared in front of his eyes:

    The player "Knife King" was killed by the player "Backstream"!

    With the appearance of the kill prompt, Lin Chi''s pocket sank and automatically received a reward of five thousand dollars. At the same time, the new attribute in his status bar, the number of kills, has also changed from one to two.

    Kill five more players to complete the kill requirement of the "Murder". Then, just think of a way to survive to the end.

    Lin Chi checked the time, and the full-band scan still had twenty minutes to end. The positions of all players are still displayed on the map.

    Even if there are no players nearby, standing in an office facing the street is still a bit unsafe.

    Lin Chi was about to turn around and leave, but found that a faint purple light was shining at the position of Sword Emperor Death.

    "Um?"

    He bent down, picked up a short knife from the pool of blood, placed it in his hand and looked at it.

    This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

    It was a short dagger with a dark gray handle, with a dark U-shaped handguard on the handle. The blade was curved like a bracket, and the blood trough on the back of the knife was very conspicuous, and the blade was shining. Sharp cold light.

    As for this short knife that is not purple, why does it glow purple. When the item introduction appeared, Lin Chi got the answer:

    ¡ª¡ªThis is a purple epic equipment!

    "Tiger Claw" hunting saber.

    Melee weapons.

    Item level: Epic.

    General-purpose weapon, can be used without proficiency. Requires minimum agility value: 14. Reaching the maximum attack power requires agility value: 21.

    When the user''s agility reaches 18 points, a special skill is unlocked: hemorrhage, which can cause a bleeding effect on all enemies that can bleed within a melee range in a short period of time. The bleeding continues until the enemy''s wound is bandaged or the enemy dies.

    "This knife is used to hunt Bengal tigers, and experienced hunters can even tear the tiger''s throat with it without injury."

    After reading the item introduction, Lin Chi couldn''t help laughing out of the sharp scimitar in his hand.

    "This is really an unexpected gain."

    ¡ª¡ªIn the game "War of Heaven", the rarity of items is also the same as other games. From low to high, they are divided into five levels: ordinary, excellent, sophisticated, epic, and legend.

    But unlike other games, after each round of the game, all the equipment in the player''s hand from normal to excellent levels will disappear. Only Epic and Legendary equipment can be brought out and stored in the player¡¯s private warehouse.

    There is no doubt that epic and legendary equipment are very difficult to obtain. Even if a player obtains this level of equipment, if he is killed while carrying the equipment, there is a chance that his epic and legendary equipment will be exposed.

    It was the first time that Lin Chi played with epic equipment.

    It is conceivable that the Sword Emperor would be depressed when he found out that this piece of equipment was gone...

    With the lessons learned from the previous shot that hit the right foot, Lin Chi, who is currently only 12 points agile, did not try to use this short knife, which requires a minimum agility of 14 points, but temporarily put it in his briefcase.

    Then, just as he turned around to leave, he suddenly noticed a deadly white light in the building on the other side of the street¡ª¡ª

    "..."

    At the moment when he saw the light, the professional player''s "body" had already reacted, but he didn''t draw his gun and shoot like the protagonist of the movie, nor did he sloppy sideways to hide from bullets. Instead, he made the choice that best fits the current situation-

    Lin Chi turned one hundred and eighty degrees in an instant, and a "fighting tiger" was lying on the floor. The frantic vortex of air swept over his head. After piercing the window glass, it hit the wall of the office again. A hole the size of a washbasin!

    boom!

    Only then did the dull gunfire pass.

    Lin Chi did not stand up, but looked back with a lingering fear:

    Looking at the power of this horror, the opponent should be using a large-caliber anti-material sniper rifle. If I get this shot, I am afraid that my body will be blasted in two!

    "Why is this guy so accurate?" Lin Chi frowned.

    The weapon proficiency in "War Paradise" is not inherited and will be cleared at the beginning of each game. Not long after this game started, the players'' firearms proficiency should be very low.

    So... how did this sniper achieve such precision?

    When Lin Chi was thinking about it, another shot was fired, but this time, the bullet enough to penetrate him through the wall hit the window frame of the house.

    Seeing this scene, Lin Chi was shocked for a moment, then stood up, turned and walked towards the door:

    "It turned out to be blind..." He laughed.

    ¡ª¡ªAs he thought, it is impossible to accurately hit the target when manipulating an anti-material sniper rifle with low proficiency. The reason why that guy''s first bullet was so precise was actually just a misfire!

    Unsurprisingly, when Lin Chi turned and left, the opponent fired two more shots, but they were all skewed for several meters, with no hope of hitting.

    Standing in front of the door, Lin Chi did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned his head to face the sniper in the next building, showing a provocative smile, and by the way arrogantly compared to a scissor hand:

    "goodbye¡­¡­"

    Before he finished speaking, a big hole was suddenly opened in the wall beside him, and the hard and cold slag fell on his face...

    Lin Chi, who was almost playing off, left the house immediately, returned to the aisle, and entered the sniper''s field of vision.

    ¡ª¡ªSince it has been targeted by a sniper, it is not a good idea to continue hiding in this building. Taking advantage of the sniper''s position has not shifted, running from the back door is the right choice.

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi also immediately came to the elevator in the corridor. Just as he was about to press the button, he suddenly noticed that all three elevators were moving upstairs from downstairs.

    Is it a coincidence? Or¡­¡­

    Realizing that the situation was not quite right, Lin Chi immediately rushed into the stairwell and peered down. Accompanied by the sound of messy footsteps, several men in black long clothes were rushing up quickly.

    He immediately realized that it was the noise he had just used the chainsaw in the office that had attracted the attention of the city guards. Although he has not yet entered the state of being wanted. but¡­¡­

    Looking down at his shirt soaked in blood, Lin Chi quickly ran along the stairs to the upper floor.

 Chapter 12: Strange Information

    Three steps in two steps rushed to the ninth floor. Lin Chi stood at the top of the stairs and listened. He confirmed that the footsteps in the corridor had disappeared, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

    Having already fought the guard once, he knew very well that the guard''s IQ was not very high. Presumably now, these stupid people in black should still look at each other at the murderous "scene" on the fifth floor.

    However, after experiencing brutal close combat, new problems emerged:

    You must find a way to change your clothes, otherwise the guard will still look at yourself.

    ¡ª¡ªWearing a shirt dyed dark red to the street, fools can see that there is a problem. Even if the guard doesn''t want him, other players will definitely see through the own player''s identity at a glance. It is equivalent to the "full-band scanning" effect that comes with it.

    Maybe in the office, there will be suits left by office workers or something?

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi first observed the map and confirmed that there were no other players nearby. Then he opened the wooden door closest to him and walked into an office.

    Since he was not sure whether the sniper was still aiming at this building, he was also more alert this time, avoiding the position of the window, bending over and turning around in the office. No clothes were found.

    Leaving this office and opening the door next door, I saw that the shutters in the room were closed, making the light in the room a bit dim, but at the same time blocking the sniper''s view.

    Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and stared at the neat desk in front of him.

    "Is anyone there?" he said.

    The coffee cup on the table wafted out of white air, and the computer chair on the opposite side was still trembling slightly. Obviously, someone is hiding in this office, and-it can''t be a player.

    Recalling what the chef in the small restaurant downstairs said to him, "NPC seems to have feelings", Lin Chi didn''t say much, just pulled out the carbon steel saber and held it in his hand, and walked into the house lightly.

    ¡ª¡ª"Whether AI can develop self-awareness" is a common topic, but it is one of the few topics that interest Lin Chi.

    As for why he cares so much about AI, it is also due to an experience five years ago.

    The faint sound of breathing from behind the desk interrupted Lin Chi¡¯s "Memories Kill". He walked over slowly, before he could see what was behind, the first thing that caught his eye was a sharp cold light¡ª¡ª

    The moment the knife stabbed, Lin Chi had already stepped forward, staggered the tip of own''s knife, and then grabbed the opponent''s thin wrist and twisted it slightly. The knife in her hand immediately fell to the ground.

    "I''m going to call the police!" A painful female voice shook Lin Chi''s eardrums.

    "Shhh... don''t call." Lin Chi put down the saber in his hand, put her index finger on her lips to signal her not to make a sound, and at the same time, he didn''t forget to kick the fruit knife that fell on the ground aside.The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

    He squinted his eyes and looked at the long-haired spectacles who was holding her wrist: This woman was wearing a dark professional outfit with a very frightened facial expression, and his visual age should be around twenty-five years old.

    Lin Chi stared at the woman for a few seconds, and no name or symbol popped up on her head.

    In this way, she should be an ordinary NPC like those passers-by on the street.

    "I won''t harm you." Lin Chi whispered.

    Although his voice sounded very sincere, it was a pity that the blood-stained clothes on his body and the scarlet spots that were not cleaned on his face suddenly reduced the persuasiveness of this sentence to a negative number.

    "Don''t kill me...Don''t kill me..." The woman''s slender body kept trembling, obviously frightened.

    "I won''t kill you." Lin Chi took the woman''s wrist and retreated two steps, pulled a computer chair next to her, and motioned her to sit down: "I just want to ask you a few questions."

    "..."

    Although the woman wearing glasses was still shaking, she sat down obediently. She clearly knew that even if she resisted, she was not the man''s opponent.

    Seeing that the other party finally calmed down, Lin Chi did not immediately ask questions, but stared at the other party''s face with interest and the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose.

    ¡ª¡ªIs this woman really just an ordinary NPC?

    Even after only a brief exchange, Lin Chi could still see that this woman''s IQ level was nowhere higher than those of passersby and city guards outside.

    She did not scream, run away, and call the police like other NPCs that were set up. Instead, he hid in this room and took a fruit knife to defend himself. Although this response may be designed, but...

    "What are you asking?" The woman rubbed her right wrist with her left hand. Looking at her with her eyes closed, she seemed to have resigned herself to her fate.

    "Are you an aboriginal here?" Lin Chi asked the first question.

    "No, I just came here to work, and I don''t know any secrets." The woman spoke quickly, and added: "Don''t kill me..."

    Upon hearing this, Lin Chi asked again: "How long have you been here?"

    "It''s been about three months." The woman cowered.

    "Oh."

    Lin Chi glanced at the blinds thoughtfully.

    ¡ª¡ªThe three months in the game, if calculated on the basis of ninety days and converted according to the time ratio between the real world and the brain imaging game, only Nine Heavens has passed in the real world.

    If he remembers correctly, the game "War of Heaven" happened to be officially opened for testing before Nine Heavens.

    Is this a coincidence?

    Realizing that the situation is not quite right, Lin Chi continued to ask, "In your opinion, is there anything weird about this city?"

    The woman did not speak, but just glanced at him tremblingly.

    "I mean except me." Lin Chi added.

    "Ah..." The woman came back to her senses and said: "It''s actually pretty good here, but it''s a bit messy. Every day you can hear gunshots and explosions. I heard that there are a lot of murderous criminals. In the city..."

    Having said this, the woman took another look at Lin Chi''s blood-stained shirt, and then looked away as if terrified.

    "A''cruel criminal''?" Lin Chi repeated her words secretly in his heart.

    It sounds like the "cruel criminal" should say that the player who entered this map is right. And the three months she said fits the length of time since the game was launched.

    But Lin Chi knew that things were obviously not that simple--

    From the start of the server to the present, the number of players participating in the test is countless. While he was ranked on the map of "City of Chaos", tens of thousands of people also ranked on this map.

    If the game''s NPC has self-awareness, how should this "parallel world" problem be handled? If you put different independent AIs in each map in the game, the workload is too much, even if you use the most powerful supercomputer at present, it is difficult to do it.

    ¡ª¡ªThis woman is really just an ordinary NPC, are her words just a game egg?

    When Lin Chi was thinking about it, the explosion from outside the window interrupted his thoughts. He stood in front of the blinds, opened a corner, cast his gaze on the street below, and then frowned slightly:

    The tank that had been killed out of the weapon shop was driving by on the street below, followed by several military-green jeeps, one of which was already on fire, as if it was about to explode.

    "Why are you again?" Lin Chi laughed, turned and left.

    As soon as he reached the door, he heard the woman ask again: "Where are you going?"

    "I still have something to do. You can hide here first." Lin Chi said without looking back, "Remember not to go to the street. Now the street is a bit...unsafe."

 Chapter 13 Daily Life of GTA Player

    boom!

    After the deafening explosion, an SUV turned into a burning wreck, and pedestrians screamed and fled in all directions. The vehicles on the road quickly dispersed on both sides, trying to avoid the killing machine that was going retrograde.

    The double-decker bus rushed directly onto the sidewalk and crushed three pedestrians under the wheels. An Audi A6 that could not dodge in front was directly run over by a heavy tank with a khaki-colored shell. Accompanied by a terrifying click, it was crushed. Flat scrap iron!

    An excited female voice came from the loudspeaker installed on the tank turret:

    "Go away!"

    The black guards and the soldiers who had just arrived in the street drew their guns and fired at the tank. It is a pity that the guns in their hands cannot cause any damage to the heavy armor of the M1A2 tank!

    Seeing that the situation was not good, a soldier who was driving a jeep following the tank shouted at the radio: "We need support! I can''t stand it here¡ª"

    Before he could even finish his words, the whole person was blown into the sky along with the jeep, and the mixture of burnt flesh and steel shards fell on the sidewalk one after another.

    Hearing the explosion on the street, the four guards who were still in the office on the fifth floor of the office building immediately drew their guns and ran downstairs.

    The four people who rushed downstairs didn''t notice, a Daoist shadow appeared behind them at some point¡ª¡ª

    The pitch-black blade pierced the back of the guard who was walking at the back. Before the guard could even make a sound, another hand stretched out from behind and tightly covered his mouth.

    The three guards in front passed the corner of the stairs, and did not notice the strange actions of their companions behind them, nor did they see the desperate eyes of their companions dimming. He just continued to walk downstairs quickly and rushed towards the street where the fighting broke out.

    It wasn''t until the footsteps disappeared from the corridor that Lin Chi put down the guard''s body, took off the black coat of the opponent and put it on him, and by the way tore off the silver shield badge on the shoulder of his coat.

    After solving the clothing problem, Lin Chi did not leave immediately, and took out a P210 pistol and two magazines from the guard, and then left the scene of the crime contentedly.

    The sound of explosions and screams passed from the street into the corridor, and the whole building seemed to tremble slightly. When Lin Chi came into the hall, he saw two cars smashed the glass door at the entrance of the office building and rushed in, hitting the wall and deformed.

    The air in the hall was full of blood, and just by looking at the blood-stained car windows, you knew that the drivers of these two cars were definitely not saved.

    Lin Chi checked the map in the lobby, and saw a red dot staying in the building 600 meters away. It should be the sniper who shot just now.This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

    Although the opponent is inaccurate, if he rushes out of the building, there is still the danger of being shot in two. The power of the anti-material sniper rifle is not a joke. As long as you wipe a side, you will basically die. .

    If you can find cover...

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi looked at a crashed jeep at the entrance of the hall, raised the pistol he got from the guard, aimed at the fuel tank of the jeep, and pulled the trigger.

    boom! boom! boom!

    After three rhythmic gunshots, his pistol proficiency went from 2 Ascension to 3. Sparks and billowing black smoke suddenly appeared at the location of the Jeep''s fuel tank.

    The flame quickly spread to the car body, and the thick smoke drifted towards the street outside the hall. Seeing that it was almost there, Lin Chi covered his mouth and nose with his hand and walked towards the entrance of the hall.

    Under the cover of heavy smoke, he walked safely onto a chaotic street, then immediately mixed into the fleeing crowd, ran to the street behind the office building, and left the sniper''s range.

    "call¡­¡­"

    After finally leaving the danger zone, Lin Chi let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at the two cars that were crushed into scrap at the intersection.

    Judging from the track traces left on the ground, the two lunatics in the weapon shop were driving their tanks to the west, and they should not be back for a while.

    So now, it''s almost time to leave this ghost place.

    Although the full-band scan is still ten minutes away, Lin Chi knows that it is not a good idea to continue fighting with other players without reliable firearms.

    After making the decision, he did not hesitate, and immediately stood on the street.

    Wow!

    A black Mercedes-Benz SLK200 convertible sports car that was approaching suddenly braked in front of Lin Chi and stopped less than fifty centimeters from his body.

    "Fool, what are you doing?" The man in sunglasses raised his middle finger to him while driving. His colorful shirts and shorts looked like gifts when he was on vacation in Hawaii.

    Seeing this NPC''s angry look, Lin Chi did not answer the question, but walked to the door of the driver''s seat and asked: "Have you heard of "GTA"?"

    "What?" The man in sunglasses did not hear him clearly.

    "..."

    Within the next two seconds, Lin Chi suddenly pulled the car door without warning, and pulled the man with sunglasses out of the driver''s seat.

    The man with sunglasses lost his balance and fell to the ground. He was about to get up cursingly, and Lin Chi made another kick and kicked him to the ground. Then he got into the car and started the engine in a familiar way.

    "It''s better to wear a seat belt next time you drive, my friend."

    After he finished speaking, Lin Chi ran away in the roadster he had robbed, leaving only the dumbfounded man with sunglasses standing still eating his exhaust gas. After a few seconds, he finally took out his cell phone and called the alarm panicked.

    At this time, Lin Chi had already turned a corner and drove towards Beicheng District where there were fewer players on the map.

    "You have reached the Wanted Index 2. The city guards are trying to arrest you."

    After the wanted notice popped up in front of him, Lin Chi speeded up again and flung to the black guards who were about to draw their guns on the side of the road.

    Driving a convertible into the streets of Beicheng District, I saw that the buildings on the street became more and more dilapidated, and even small cracks appeared on the road.

    "The Beicheng District is a slum?"

    Seeing those gang members walking around on the sidewalk wearing sweaters and holding submachine guns, Lin Chi immediately understood the reason for the small number of players in Beicheng District.

    ¡ª¡ªThis area is so chaotic that even the city guards dare not get involved. As long as they act carelessly, they may be shot to death by gang members on the street!

    However, in this "lawless" area, there should be many gunmen and mercenaries working for the money, which is a good place to recruit NPC entourage.

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi drove slowly through the dilapidated streets of Beicheng District, waiting patiently until his own wanted index disappeared, then parked his car on the side of the road, got out of the car and looked at the graffiti-filled walls on the street.

    It''s time to experience the subordinate recruitment system in this game.

 Chapter 14: How to Appear the Elite Mercenary

    Pushing open the tattered wooden door of a bar on the side of the road, a pungent drunk smelt on him, Lin Chi strode into the dimly lit room, and looked around at the drunk man at the table.

    Since he didn''t know where to recruit NPCs, he chose the bar to try his luck. After all, in many old games before, the "pub" was a good place to recruit subordinates and gather information.

    But this time... things don''t seem to be that simple.

    "Hahahahaha!"

    A burst of laughter mixed with vomiting sounded from the corner, followed by another sneer.

    The drunk guys in this bar are all local residents and gang members dressed and dressed, and there are no such things as intelligence dealers.

    Did you go to the wrong place?

    Lin Chi, who was wondering, walked to the front of the bar and asked a question to the waitress wearing heavy makeup and tight-fitting leather: "Can I recruit subordinates here?"

    The woman curled her lips in disdain, and snorted: "I don''t understand what you are talking about."

    Hearing this, Lin Chi took out one hundred dollars from his pocket, put it on the bar in front of the waitress, and smiled: "Can you understand it now?"

    "Ah? Oh..." The waitress looked back, and quickly stuffed the hundred-dollar bill into her pocket, leaning into Lin Chi''s ear and lowering her voice: "In the alley behind the bar, there is a door with a circular mark. You knock on the door all around, wait a minute, someone will open the door."

    "Ha, thanks."

    After taking note of the information provided by the waitress, Lin Chi didn''t stay longer, and immediately left the noisy bar. As soon as he returned to the street, three men in pullovers stood in front of him.

    "Boy, are you just here?" One of them smiled contemptuously.

    "The newcomer has to pay, and the entrance fee." The other guy next to him took the conversation.

    Looking at the short knives in the hands of the three people, Lin Chi immediately realized that he had encountered a robbery. He didn''t panic, just patted his own briefcase, and smiled: "How much does it cost?"

    "Three thousand." The man standing in the middle reported a number, raised the knife and shook it in front of Lin Chi. The light reflected by the sun dazzled Lin Chi''s eyes: "We want cash."

    "Oh, okay, okay..." Lin Chi pretended to be scared, turned around and fumbled in the briefcase. Then--

    Accompanied by a harsh roar, he started the engine of the chain saw in his hand, and smiled kindly at the stunned three robbers:

    "Is this okay?"

    Before the words were over, the three people turned around and ran, jumping across the street like rabbits, not knowing where they were.

    Seeing that they had already f***ed, Lin Chi put away the chain saw with unfinished talent, turned and walked towards the alley behind the bar.

    As he entered the alley, the game announcement appeared again in the lower right corner of his vision:

    If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it."The first full-band scan is over, the number of deaths: 23. I wish you all a happy game."

    At the same time the announcement appeared, the dense red dots on the map finally disappeared.

    "Twenty-three..." Lin Chi repeated the Death number in his heart.

    Counting the two people who died before the start of the full band scan, a total of 25 players were killed. There should be 75 players remaining in the game.

    Just a scan of the game''s early stage, one-quarter of the players "retired from the stage of history". Obviously, the game''s late stage battle will undoubtedly be more intense!

    In this kind of game, fighting alone is not a good idea. In order to save your lives, it is better to recruit some subordinates first.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi quickened his pace, walked into the gloomy alley, and soon found an iron door with a circle painted in red paint.

    He followed the waitress''s prompt, raised his hand and knocked on the door four times, then stood aside and waited patiently for a minute.

    The iron door slowly opened to the inside, and a flat-headed man wearing a jacket and jeans stood by the door and asked, "Is here for someone?"

    Lin Chi nodded and looked at the strangely pale face of the other party.

    This person looked like he had taken the medicine or was suffering from a skin disease. Above his head, there is a silver skull icon and a line of small characters introducing his identity:

    Listless Greek, mercenary intermediary merchant, special NPC, cannot be recruited.

    "Come in." The man named Greek pulled the door back and motioned to Lin Chi to follow him.

    Recalling the scene of being robbed before, Lin Chi silently pulled out the carbon steel saber and stuffed it into his pocket, and followed the flat-headed man with pale complexion into the house.

    The layout of the living room is very simple, with only a few pieces of dirty furniture, which looks like a typical slum.

    On the wooden table with a broken leg in the middle of the living room, a silver saber was nailed to the wooden table levelled with bricks. The table top was covered with papers that looked like contracts, and some of them were still stained with blood.

    "Don''t mess with things." Greck reminded him, pulling a rough wooden chair and sitting down at the table, and asked bluntly: "Which one do you want to hire?"

    "How many kinds are there?" Lin Chi asked.

    "The first type is cannon fodder, five hundred dollars a piece, you need to be by your side at any time, you need to provide them with shelter."

    Geek said as he took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Lin Chi.

    The man in the photo cocked his mouth. , Skinny, revealing a breath of mental retardation.

    "Forget it, I need to be more combative." Lin Chi returned the photo to the opponent.

    "The second type is an ordinary mercenary, one thousand and five hundred dollars per person, who needs to provide shelter and is very effective in combat." Greek introduced.

    "Is there a third kind?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.

    "Yes." Greek nodded: "The third type is elite mercenaries. It costs three thousand dollars to hire one. You don''t need to provide them with shelter. They usually hide near you. If needed, you can Summon them and they will be there in ten seconds."

    "What a summoning method?" Lin Chi asked with great interest.

    This time, Greek did not answer, but just explained impatiently: "Only after hiring, I will teach you how to call them. How about, are you hiring or not?"

    "Then hire three first." Lin Chi said as he took out nine thousand dollars and put it on the table: "Can I see them?"

    Since he currently has no residence, he cannot provide a residence for ordinary mercenaries, and can only hire elite mercenaries. More importantly, Lin Chi was still more interested in the "calling" that Greek said.

    The map of "City of Chaos" is a simulation of the urban conditions 30 years ago. The various settings in it are still relatively realistic, and there should be no such unscientific "calling" of the magician.

    It is conceivable that the summoning mentioned by Greek should be another method.

    After waiting for a while, the pale-faced intermediary businessman finally finished counting the money, nodded and said: "Come with me and show you."

    The two walked out of the house together and returned to the dirty and narrow alley. Greek took out a silver object like a laser pointer from his pocket and gave it to Lin Chi, explaining:

    "Press the button above, and the elite mercenaries will appear next to you within ten seconds."

    "Are you sure?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

    Except for the two of them, there is no aura of any creatures in this alley. Where are the three elite mercenaries hiding in order to arrive in ten seconds?

    Lin Chi, who was still a little confused, pressed the red button on the "laser pointer". After waiting for five seconds, the alley was still as quiet as ever.

    "Aren''t you lying to me..."

    Before Lin Chi finished speaking, he was interrupted by the impact sound from diagonally forward.

    boom!

    With a loud noise, the lid of the large trash can on his right flew three meters away and hit the opposite wall. A tall man wearing a digital camouflage uniform with a thermal imaging mirror on his forehead slammed out of the trash can. Stand up!

    Seeing the soldier holding the HK-416 assault rifle, Lin Chi couldn''t help making a stunned voice: "I rely on..."

    With the appearance of this mercenary, behind the empty telephone pole on the left, another Daoist figure appeared ghostly, and the third mercenary dropped down from a window above.

    In less than ten seconds, the three of them had stood in front of Lin Chi, raised their right hand and saluted a very standard military salute.

    "Leader, any instructions?" The mercenary standing in the middle spoke, the skull mask covering half of his face.

    "Have you always been hiding nearby?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

    "You have hired us, and we can guarantee to respond to your call within ten seconds." The mercenary''s voice was low and firm: "We will shed the last drop of blood for you!"

    "Well, I''m just trying it out, you can go first." Lin Chi waved his hand.

    ¡ª¡ªIt seems that Greek did not exaggerate the words. The three elite mercenaries he hired could indeed rush to him from a seemingly impossible position within ten seconds!

    Following Lin Chi''s order, the three mercenaries quickly walked out of the alley and disappeared out of their sight.

    "How is it?" Greek''s voice had a hint of pride.

    "As expected of being an elite, I served it."

    Lin Chi nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "Do you have any special mercenaries or hero-level mercenaries here?"

    No matter how strong these three followers are, they are nothing more than ordinary NPCs. What Lin Chi is really interested in is the special NPCs and hero-level characters that can be hired.

    Hearing his question, Greek frowned, and he was silent for a while and finally spoke slowly:

    "I do have one special mercenary here, but that guy''s spirit, how should I put it... it''s a bit abnormal."

 Chapter 15 Recruitment Mission: Crazy Evan

    "Is that person mentally ill?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

    Although it sounds unreliable, he will naturally not let go of special NPCs that can be hired.

    Obviously, even if it is a mental patient, there should be a way to control it, otherwise this intermediary businessman would not keep the lunatic.

    After Lin Chi spent money to hire three elite mercenaries, Greek''s attitude improved a lot, and patiently explained: "That person...how do you say, I''ll take you to see him sooner."

    The two returned to the living room and walked into the next bedroom. Greek pushed open the bookcase on the wall to reveal an iron fenced door on the wall behind, then took a key from his pocket and opened the small door.

    There was no window in the small room behind the door, and it was almost impossible to reach out. There was a damp atmosphere in the air, like the kind of storage room that was completely unsuitable for living.

    Greek fumbled on the wall next to the door, and the incandescent lamp on the ceiling lit up, casting a pale light.

    Then Lin Chi''s eyes were caught on the four walls with peeling peelings, and the man tied to a chair in the middle of the room:

    It was a bald man whose right eye was covered by an eye mask. His body was restrained by a psychiatric patient. He was firmly fixed on a heavy iron chair with a plastic mask on his face to prevent him from biting. People may commit suicide by chewing their tongues.

    The man stared at Lin Chi with his left eyes widened, and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes made him look a little old. At the same time, in Lin Chi''s sight, a silver skull icon marking a special NPC appeared, and a line of text introduction:

    ? ? ? , Special NPC, can be recruited (tasks need to be completed).

    "Who is this, isn''t it Dr. Hannibal?" Lin Chi asked.

    Before Greek had spoken, the bald man sitting on the chair suddenly shouted excitedly: "Happy birthday! Are you here to pick me up!"

    Hearing the other party''s strong Russian accent and excited voice, Lin Chi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is he from the Soviet Union?"

    "Yes, he used to be a blasting expert in the former Soviet Union. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, he came here as a mercenary. The mental state of this b*****d was very unstable, and he almost blasted my base into the sky several times." Greek explained with a frown. .

    Hearing this, Lin Chi had already learned the real name of this NPC. He once met this crazy "old friend" in an old game decades ago.

    Then, the introduction of the characters in his sight changed again:

    The real name has been determined:

    "Crazy Yiwen", a special NPC, can be recruited (tasks need to be completed).Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.

    "Crazy Ivan is from the Soviet Union. He is a blasting expert who is famous for his madness. He can install bombs almost anywhere, and once installed, he cannot be dismantled."

    "How are you!" Crazy Yiwen shouted loudly: "Can I move my muscles and bones? I haven''t touched a bomb for half a month!"

    "No, get out." Greek''s answer was simple and rude, then turned to Lin Chi and asked: "How is it, are you interested?"

    "If I can guarantee that he will not put a bomb on me, I would be very interested." Lin Chi told the truth.

    "I won''t plant a bomb on my employer!" Crazy Evan argued loudly like a little aggrieved: "I have a professional ethics!"

    Without waiting for Lin Chi to speak, the bald man with an unstable mental state said quickly: "If you get my backpack back, I can be your subordinate! Even if you send me to die, you can I just install the bomb!"

    Before he finished his words, a long-lost taskbar appeared in Lin Chi''s sight:

    Start mission: bomb backpack.

    Crazy Evan asks you to help him retrieve his lost bomb backpack. If you retrieve his backpack, this bomb expert will join your camp.

    Task reward: special NPC crazy Yiwen.

    "..."

    After reading the introduction of this task, Lin Chi thought for a moment and immediately made a judgment.

    "Where is his backpack?" He asked Geek.

    "You really want to accept this lunatic, if it is blown to death, it won''t be my business." Greg sighed helplessly: "His backpack was sold by me to the black market. You go to the black market now, maybe even You can buy it."

    "Where is the black market?" Lin Chi asked the second question.

    "You don''t even know this?" Greck''s expression was a little surprised: "The underground bar in the city center, go and see, remember this code..."

    After asking Greek about the location of the bar and the signal, Lin Chi left the alley, got on the stolen Mercedes-Benz SLK sports car, and galloped towards the city center.

    Even if Crazy Yiwen''s spirit is not stable, Lin Chi decided to recruit him. After all, this guy went crazy, and his blasting level was absolutely superb. When he couldn''t control it, even if he rushed into the enemy group with a bomb and blew himself up, it would be worth the fare.

    Moreover, what Lin Chi is more interested in now is the underground black market in the City of Chaos.

    According to his many years of gaming experience, places like the black market generally sell weird things that are not available in normal stores. If you are lucky, you may be able to buy rare treasures.

    As he drove slowly into the downtown business district, Lin Chi parked his car in the underground parking lot of the mall and walked into the crowded mall with a briefcase.

    Even though the people around him were ordinary NPCs, Lin Chi still increased his vigilance.

    ¡ª¡ªI think of going to the underground bar, I shouldn''t be alone. After all, in the small prompt before entering the game, it has been clearly written: Find the underground bar in the City of Chaos, there may be something you are interested in.

    If you encounter other players in such a place, it is likely that PVP will break out directly. However, in places like the black market, there are generally guards equipped with heavy firepower.

    In other words, the black market area is likely to belong to the kind of "safe zone" where PK cannot be carried out.

    Take the elevator to the third floor of the basement and walk into the feasting ballroom. Lin Chi walked through the crowd to the bar. To the Asian beauty who was bartending, he gave the secret code provided by Greck: "I miss a poem."

    Hearing this, the woman narrowed her narrow eyes to look at him, and asked, "Gou?"

    "Gou rich, don''t forget each other." Lin Chi whispered.

    "Okay, come in." The waitress put down the colorful cocktail glass in her hand and gestured to Lin Chi to walk into the bar.

    The narrow passage behind the bar was amazingly long, and Lin Chi walked for a minute before reaching the end. Before he saw the true face of the black market, he had already seen a dozen sturdy men on both sides of the aisle carrying light machine guns.

    "Sure enough." He secretly confirmed his own judgment.

    In the black market area, it is obvious that PVP cannot be performed. Even if other players are killed by a preemptive strike, they will be shot and bombarded by these guards!

    ¡ª¡ªThen, let¡¯s see what is on sale in this place.

    After moving on for about a hundred meters, Lin Chi took a deep breath and pushed open the silver metal door at the end of the aisle.

 Chapter 16 The Bomberman in the Underground Street

    The heavy metal door slowly opened, and even Lin Chi was slightly surprised when he saw the true face of the "black market".

    The imaginary scenes such as underground halls or warehouses did not appear. This so-called black market turned out to be an underground street!

    Although it is located underground, the width of this street is about the same as that of a downtown street. Both sides of the street are filled with all kinds of weird and strange storefronts, just like the Blacken version of the downtown commercial street.

    Even if he knew that there was a shopping mall above, Lin Chi looked up and saw the effect of the starry sky.

    The ceiling of this underground area was extremely vague, and the walls were completely invisible.

    In addition to the starlight from the small lamps, there was even a ballroom installed on the ceiling.

    The "artificial moon" modified by spherical lights...

    There were many more guests in the black market than Lin Chi had imagined, and most of them were ordinary NPCs used to make up the number.

    The crowd was also mixed with many guards armed with heavy weapons and wearing interceptor body armor.

    Just looking at the appearance, you know that it is more than a grade better than the waste wood guards on the streets outside.

    Seeing this scene, Lin Chi couldn''t help shook his head.

    To find Crazy Evan''s backpack in a shopping street of this size is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack. Greg only said that the backpack was sold on the black market, but did not mention where it was sold.

    However, if it is Crazy Ivan¡¯s backpack, it should be sold to a store that sells explosives.

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi''s gaze swept across the signs on both sides of the shopping street and began to look for his own target.

    ¡ª¡ªIn this area, there are only three shops whose names are related to bombs. As a result, the target range is much reduced.

    Lin Chi hurried across the crowded streets and walked in the direction of the first shop.

    A huge tire pattern was drawn on the signboard of this store, with four simple and rude characters "BOMB" written underneath.

    Lin Chi walked to the front of the store, only to see a gray-headed face, a shirtless man whose right arm and leg were replaced by machinery.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.

    The man, standing behind the counter yawning boredly, the remaining strands of blond hair curled up like a burning flame.

    "Hey, I want to buy something." Lin Chi knocked on the oily metal counter, and looked at the grenades of various colors and the strange-shaped cylinders hanging behind the counter.

    "Oh oh oh!" The man who was still sleeping just now jumped up like a monkey, Yin & Yang said strangely: "Welcome to the bomb shop! Would you like to have some bomb tires today?"

    "No need." Lin Chi looked at the shopkeeper, always feeling that he had seen this product somewhere.

    Immediately afterwards, the red skull logo and name displayed on the opponent''s head instantly answered his question:

    "Jun Rat", a hero-level NPC, can be recruited (tasks need to be completed).

    "This stuff can be recruited?" Lin Chi asked secretly in his heart.

    He thought that the owner of the store was the same as the two guys in "Rainbow Six Weapons Shop", and they were non-recruitable characters. He didn''t expect that Junkrat could be recruited under his command, which was unexpected.

    But for now, it is better to solve the problem of Crazy Ivan first.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi suppressed the urge to recruit Junkrat immediately, and asked: "I''m looking for a backpack full of bombs. It was sold by a man with a flat head. Do you have any impression?"

    "Bomb backpack..." Junkrat frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly shouted, "I have an impression!"

    "Oh, is that backpack still with you?" Lin Chi asked.

    ¡ª¡ªAlthough he wanted to bring this hero-level character into his command, after a brief exchange, Lin Chi found that the spirit of this product seemed to be abnormal.

    It seems that we need to reconsider whether to recruit this guy. After all, it¡¯s enough to be a crazy Evan, and with Junkrat, this team may be beyond own control...

    "Of course here, but you have to fulfill one of my wishes!" Junkrat suddenly laughed, and a metal trap was turned into a metal trap with his left hand, making a dangerous click.

    "What wish?" Looking at the smirk on the other party''s face, Lin Chi''s heart had an ominous premonition.

    "Help me test the new version of the bomb tire! I''m making some new equipment and I can''t walk away temporarily." Junkrat put forward the condition straightforwardly: "If you test the bomb tire for me, I will give you that backpack. You can come back alive, hahahahaha!"

    Before he could speak, Lin Chi received a new task:

    Start mission: bomb tires.

    Junkrat asks you to help him test the new bomb tires, use the bomb tires to kill a player, then come back and report to Junkrat.

    Task reward: $10,000, new bomb tires to complete the version X1.

    Seeing the requirements of the task, Lin Chi frowned slightly¡ªif the full-wavelength scan continued, this task would not be difficult to complete. But in the current situation, let alone killing a player with bomb tires, it is not easy to find a player.

    Although there may be players in this black market, the use of bomb tires here is basically no different from suicide. It is estimated that he was killed by a heavy armored guard before it bombed anyone.

    While thinking about it, Junkrat had taken out a black rubber tire with spikes from under the counter. A metal engine was installed in the center of the tire, with an exaggerated smiley face painted on it.

    "That''s it, my new product has an effective explosion range of 20 meters!" Junkrat proudly patted this "big guy".

    "How do I use this thing?" Lin Chi looked at the engine in the middle of the tire.

    Just looking at the appearance of this thing reveals a breath of danger. If it was not required for the mission, he would never use such equipment.

    As soon as the voice fell, Junkrat took out a gamepad that had fallen out of paint and placed it next to the bomb tire, and explained: "The new product is operated by this special remote control.

    The joystick controls the direction, the green button is for acceleration, and the red button is for acceleration.

    Press the button and it will explode! If you don¡¯t believe me, look..."

    Seeing Junkrat''s slender fingers were about to press on the red button, Lin Chi grabbed the handle abruptly, interrupting the opponent''s death behavior.

    "I see, wait for my good news."

    Lin Chi tried to stuff the bomb tires into his briefcase, but he didn''t expect it to be successful once. It seems that the backpack in this game is even more unscientific than imagined...

    He had just put away the tires and the remote control, and was about to turn away, when Junkrat¡¯s Yin & Yang''s weird sound floated from behind:

    "I wish you a smooth journey!"

    "Go to hell." Lin Chi spit out, and walked back to the entrance of the underground street.

    It¡¯s not too late to go shopping in the black market later. Now that I have received the task, it¡¯s time to look for a hapless person and become a sacrifice to the bomb tires!

    Just before returning to the metal door, Lin Chi''s hand hadn''t touched the doorknob, and he saw that the door was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

    "Um?"

    Realizing that a player might enter the black market through the secret tunnel, Lin Chi squinted his eyes and a sinister smile appeared on his face:

    The opportunity is here.

 Chapter 17: Moon Shadow Thousand Heavy, Fire of Dispute

    Lin Chi stepped back and stared at the slowly opening door, only to see a slender figure emerging from behind the door.

    It was a woman with long white hair, wearing a remodeled gray tight-fitting combat uniform, showing the big skin around her waist and white arms. The leather boots stepped on the metal floor with a crisp knocking sound.

    Just looking at the exquisite face like a work of art and the perfect body, Lin Chi knew that it must have taken a long time to establish the character.

    When she saw Lin Chi, the woman''s body suddenly froze, and a blazing flame appeared in her purplish eyes.

    "Do we know each other?" Lin Chi asked with a smile.

    "It''s a pity that you didn''t kill you in that building." The woman frowned, took out a one-meter-long M82A1 "Barrett" anti-material sniper rifle from her backpack, and shook it provocatively in front of Lin Chi''s eyes. shake.

    "Oh, it''s you." Lin nodded slowly, staring at the dark shell of the opponent''s sniper rifle: "Your marksmanship is good."

    Seeing this sniper rifle, he immediately realized that this woman was sniping the own sniper in the office building. If he hadn''t reacted fast enough at the time, he would have been killed in the first shot.

    "The proficiency was too low at the time, and I won''t miss it again this time." The woman said as she stretched out her right hand and pressed a few times in the air, Lin Chi''s sight showed the other party''s name and the gray skull marking the player. Logo:

    Thousands of moon shadows.

    "That''s a good name," Lin Chi joked, and at the same time opened the menu and showed the other party the name of the own character.

    "Upstream... you really don''t know how to name it."

    Moon Shadow Qianzhong frowned slightly, and then suddenly lowered his voice: "The reason why I told you your name, I just want you to remember that you died in the hands of Moon Shadow Qianzhong in this game!"

    "It doesn''t matter who will die first." Lin Chi said casually, "Could you please let me go? I want to go out."

    "..."

    Seeing this guy''s decadent appearance with extremely strong hatred ability, Yueying Qianzhong''s eyebrows frowned again, and she gave way to the front door without saying a word.

    Lin slowly walked into the passage, not forgetting to turn back Yin & Yang mocked in a weird sentence: "Goodbye, beauty."

    Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.

    Immediately afterwards, without waiting for the other party to answer, he immediately quickened his pace and walked in the direction of the underground bar.

    Even if he didn''t look back, Lin Chi could still feel the heat of the "flame of hatred" behind him, but...this situation was exactly what he wanted to see.

    "Come on." He laughed.

    ¡ª¡ªEven if Yuekage Qianzhong originally planned to visit the black market, after the unpleasant conversation just now, he must be angry now, planning to kill himself immediately!

    And what Lin Chi needs now is a player willing to play against him.

    Walking quickly through the long passage and back to the underground bar, Lin Chi took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor of the mall, sat on the bench in the corner, and observed the situation in the mall.

    Soon, he noticed that there were four flat-headed men in black suits and sunglasses, looking around in the mall lobby, seeming to be looking for something.

    It seems that this is the subordinate hired by Yueying Qianzhong.

    Realizing this, Lin Chi, who had been hiding in the corner of the mall suddenly stood up, walked through the crowd and swaggered towards the exit of the mall.

    His actions immediately attracted the attention of the people in black.

    Lin Chi could clearly see that the four people had followed quickly with the image reflected by the floor-to-ceiling windows at the entrance of the mall. But he still pretended not to see, walked out of the main entrance of the mall, and came to the large plaza in front of the mall.

    This square looks like it imitates the shape of New York¡¯s Times Square. The surrounding buildings are full of gorgeous neon lights and giant LCD screens, dazzling the pedestrians on the square, and it can be called a famous attraction in the city of chaos. One out.

    There are a lot of guards here, and there are even a few soldiers with live ammunition patrolling the square. If you fight directly here, you may not be able to escape.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi speeded up again and walked into the underground parking lot on the west side of the square.

    Before he walked to the own roadster, a gloomy female voice had been heard from the entrance of the parking lot:

    "Without a guard? You are quite confident."

    "Are you sure I didn''t bring my subordinates over?" Lin Chi smiled.

    Before he could say anything, he suddenly drew his pistol, turned and fired on the Daoist shadows at the entrance of the parking lot behind him.

    boom!

    The crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the dimly lit parking lot. As soon as Lin Chi hid behind the van beside him, a intensive rain of bullets shot over, blasting the iron sheet on the roof of the van.

    "kill him!"

    Following Yueying Qianzhong''s order, the four men in black circumvented Lin Chi''s location, and the assault rifles in their hands flashed strange black lights under the lights.

    Faced with the situation about to be surrounded, Lin Chi did not panic either. He just took out the "laser pointer" Glake had handed to own from his briefcase, pressed the button on it, and shouted, "Kill them all!"

    As soon as this was said, the woman with long white hair was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn''t help laughing:

    "Who are you talking to? Are you scared?"

    Before Yueying Qianzhong could even finish her words, she was interrupted by the dull gunfire.

    The black mercenary on her left fell silently, blood gurgling out of the small hole on her forehead. The remaining three mercenaries turned around abruptly, even before they had time to shoot, they were shot several times, and collapsed in a pool of blood!

    "this¡­¡­"

    Yuekage Qianzhong didn''t understand what happened for a while, and it wasn''t until all four of his subordinates were killed that he noticed the three dark figures that appeared like ghosts from the shadows inside the parking lot.

    ¡ª¡ªI was ambushed.

    Thinking of this, Yueying Qianzhong turned and ran away without hesitation. After all, the subordinates can still be recruited if they die. If you die, you will lose a lot!

    Seeing the white-haired woman running away in a panic, Lin Chi smiled, motioned the three elite mercenaries to retreat, then took the Junkrat out of the backpack and handed it to the own bomb tires, and put them on the ground.

    "How do you start this thing?"

    Lin Chi tried to pull the rope on the engine in the middle of the tire, only to hear the piercing roar of the bomb tire engine, and it began to vibrate constantly.

    Seeing that the bomb tire had been activated, he immediately took out the handle and pushed the joystick forward¡ª

    Buzzing!

    The engine of the bomb tire screamed again and hurriedly went straight ahead.

    Seeing that the tire was about to hit a car next to him, Lin Chi immediately turned the tire and pressed the green accelerator button.

    "Damn, what is that?"

    Yueying Qianzhong, who was escaping to the outside of the parking lot, turned around and saw a large tire covered with needles, jumping happily and rushing towards him!

    When the tire was less than five meters away from the white-haired woman, Lin Chi raised his mouth with a bright smile and pressed the red detonation button on the handle.

    At the moment when the dazzling light was on, he expressed his sincere greetings to the woman who disappeared in the light:

    "I wish you all the best, beauty."

 Chapter 18:countercurrent

    Since several players were killed by monsters in the game, they suffered a nervous breakdown due to severe pain. In brain imaging games that can fully simulate the five senses, how to deal with pain has become a problem that developers pay attention to.

    Except for "Dark Souls 7" and "Mass Effect: Scorpio" and other hardcore games that did not weaken the pain, most of the brain imaging games have weakened the pain in the game.

    After all, with the exception of a few players with special hobbies, most people play games not for abuse, and no one wants to roll around in pain.

    Even in "War Paradise", which is also a hardcore game, the pain felt by the player is reduced to one-third of the usual.

    In addition, in order to protect the mental safety of the player, there is a special "sensory isolation system" in this game.

    ¡ª¡ªWhen the system detects that the pain suffered by the player is greater than the endurance limit, the isolation system will instantly activate, isolate the player''s five senses, and protect the player''s consciousness by directly disconnecting.

    This situation of being kicked out of the game by the isolation system is called "sudden death" in the player''s mouth.

    And now, Moon Shadow Qianju, who was swallowed by the explosion of the bomb tire, experienced an instantaneous death process.

    Junkrat¡¯s bomb tires are extremely fierce. Thousands of bolts and steel nails inside, which burst out with a violent shock wave and a high temperature of 3,000 degrees when it exploded, and instantly nailed the body of the white-haired woman. Hole, then turned into coke in the flame!

    Had it not been for the timely activation of the isolation system, Yueying Qianzhong would have experienced an indescribable feeling at that moment.

    But even if the five senses are isolated, the anger left in this woman''s heart cannot be erased!

    "You give me...wait..."

    The sound made at the moment of the explosion is naturally impossible for the other party to hear. But Moon Shadow Qianzhong has already memorized the player''s name firmly:

    countercurrent.

    She was kicked out of the game because of her sudden death. Naturally, she didn''t see her. At this time, the "countercurrent" that detonated the bomb tire was actually embarrassed.

    The player "Moon Shadow Qianzhong" was killed by the player "Countercurrent"!

    When the kill notification was lit and he received a reward of five thousand dollars, Lin Chi, who was standing 25 meters away from the explosion location, was directly blown away by the shock wave of the bomb tire explosion and fell on the concrete floor three meters away.

    If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

    There was a dull pain from up and down.

    He was pretty sure, just now a few bolts flew over his own cheeks, if it was a little bit off, it might be nailed into the eyes!

    "Who said that the explosive range of this thing is only 20 meters? Daddy must blow his dog''s head..."

    Lin Chi stood up and patted the dust on his body, staring at the heavy smoke at the entrance of the parking lot.

    The explosion just overturned several nearby cars. Fortunately, the own Mercedes-Benz SLK was parked inside, otherwise it would be scrapped.

    However, the more important question now is...

    Seeing that he instantly reached a level 6 Wanted Index because of an explosion in the city center, Lin Chi decisively ordered the three subordinates to retreat, and then strode towards the open-top sports car inside the parking lot.

    He knew that using bomb tires in the parking lot would definitely bring himself a wanted index, but because Junkrat¡¯s bomb tires were too powerful, the wanted index was much higher than expected.

    It seems that we can only make another big escape. Even if you reach the six-star Wanted, it''s actually not a big deal. After all, the opponent is just AI...

    Just when Lin Chi thought of this, he saw a system announcement pop up in the lower right corner of his vision:

    The reward task has been triggered.

    Player "Countercurrent" has reached the highest wanted index, and Silver Shield has issued a wanted order within the city. In the next ten minutes, the location of this player will be displayed on the maps of all players, and the player who kills it will receive a reward of 100,000 U.S. dollars!

    If the "countercurrent" escapes successfully, the bonus will be plundered by him. Let''s start killing for the bonus. I wish you all a happy hunting!

    "..."

    After reading this announcement, Lin Chi felt a gulp of old blood pouring into his throat, and cursed in a low voice, "Damn, why didn''t you say it earlier?"

    He was very confident about escaping the NPC''s chase, but now that the player joins the chase, the situation becomes more complicated.

    After this so-called "reward task" was triggered, he was in a state of being hunted down by the whole city. It can be regarded as a complete "enemy of the public"!

    Other players hidden in this city will pursue themselves frantically. The difficulty to escape successfully has undoubtedly increased a lot. But even so...

    "So you want to kill me?"

    Lin Chi smiled, got into the black roadster, plugged in the key and started to spark.

    He had always been decadent in the game before, but now he seemed to be a different person. His body was sitting straight, and his godless eyes finally flashed with a strange light.

    ¡ª¡ªWhat is the purpose of playing games?

    In addition to being very interested in self-aware AI, another hobby of Lin Chi in the game is to challenge the strong, or to challenge the seemingly impossible horrible tasks.

    Although he wanted to recruit some subordinates first, develop his own forces before starting to challenge. But now, it seems that there is no other choice!

    So now, let them see the true strength of professional players!

    Lin Chi had just started the engine when he saw the smoke burst out of the three soldiers breakthrough.

    The three of them had just passed through the dense smoke created by the explosion, and saw a huge black shadow, already hurriedly towards own!

    boom!

    A beautiful tail flick dissipated the dense smoke around and hit the three soldiers into the air.

    Lin Chi quickly jumped out of the car and grabbed the sniper rifle that was flashing purple light at the location where Yueying Qianzhong had just died.

    I put the gun in the passenger seat, and the equipment prompt popped out again:

    M82A1 anti-material sniper rifle.

    Long-range weapons.

    Item level: Epic.

    Heavy firearms require proficiency to use and require a minimum strength value of 13, and maximum attack strength requires a strength value of 15.

    When the user''s power value reaches 14, a special passive skill will be unlocked: one hit kills. No matter where it hits any part of the enemy''s body, it can kill the enemy in one hit. This effect ignores armor and body armor.

    "The famous M82A1 Barrett anti-material rifle uses a 12.7mm caliber heavy bullet, even if it hits the enemy¡¯s toe, it can also destroy the opponent¡¯s legs. Don¡¯t be misled by certain games. This gun can be connected. Because of the installation of a high-efficiency brake, its recoil is not great."

    "That woman really left me something good." Lin Chi sat back in the driver''s seat and rubbed his hands trivially.

    ¡ª¡ªUnlike the Tiger Claw Hunting Knife, which cannot be used due to insufficient agility, this epic sniper rifle does not require a high power value. With Lin Chi¡¯s current power of 14 points, not only can this gun be used, but also unlocked by the way The passive skill of "one hit kills"!

    Although his sniper rifle proficiency is still 0, he can''t perform long-range sniping, but...

    When one of the three soldiers that was hit into flight was about to get up, his mouth was suddenly blocked by some "black long and straight" hard object.

    Seeing the black "Reaper" standing in front of him, the soldier wanted to scream in horror, but could not make a sound because of the barrel of the gun in his mouth.

    After roughly poking the muzzle of the anti-material sniper rifle into the opponent''s mouth, Lin Chi looked at the soldier who was trying to struggle in vain and whispered:

    "goodbye."

    The deafening sound of anti-equipment guns reverberated in the underground parking lot, like a hunting horn.

 Chapter 19-Fighting against the Night of the World-2

    The sun set, and the night shrouded the chaotic city.

    The soldiers pulled up a cordon in front of the entrance of the underground parking lot. Pedestrians in the downtown square hid far away, whispering uncomfortably, while looking at the entrance of the parking lot where heavy smoke was emitted.

    Passers-by who had been in the square before naturally felt the explosion in the parking lot. However, these NPCs, who were set to watch the crowd, didn''t know what happened, they just watched from a distance.

    In this city, apart from the guards and soldiers, there are only 74 players left who know the current situation.

    "Someone actually started the reward quest? Really confident enough!"

    Sitting in the room with no lights on, a sturdy man with a hideous face and a height of two meters, the corners of his mouth with three scars slightly turned up.

    He threw away the cigar in his hand and took out a silver-bladed saber from the pocket of his camouflage shirt.

    At this time, the map in his line of sight had already shown a striking red dot, marking the location of the hunting target.

    As an "old player" who has participated in four death games, this man has encountered the same situation twice in other maps.

    In those two reward missions, the player who was set as the target failed to survive five minutes.

    ¡ª¡ªIt is no longer a difficult problem to escape from the attack of all other players and city guards, but it is impossible to do it!

    "Let''s see if this unlucky ghost can last for five minutes..."

    The burly man pushed open the tattered wooden door in front of him, and walked over to the overpass in the street next to him.

    The reward of one hundred thousand dollars is irresistible to any player in the early stage of the game, and he is naturally no exception.

    After all, it only costs three thousand dollars to hire an elite mercenary.

    If you can get the bonus of the reward mission, you can undoubtedly form a small army, or buy those expensive epic equipment on the black market!

    The strong man strode to the overpass, took out the binoculars from his backpack, and observed the situation in the central square:

    Dozens of soldiers have surrounded the entrance of the underground parking lot, pulled up the cordon, and are preparing to lay out spike belts that can puncture tires.

    Then, from the parking lot, a harsh roar suddenly erupted¡ª¡ª

    A dark convertible sports car ripped through the smoke and hurriedly rushed out. The soldier on the right side of the sports car was about to raise his gun. He only heard a loud noise, his body broke from his waist into two parts. , The upper body slipped weakly...

    "f**k, anti-material gun?"

    The brawny man immediately recognized the weapon mounted on the opponent''s car. It seemed that the guy had mounted a large-caliber sniper rifle on the passenger seat of the convertible, making it a fixed-position "turret"!This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

    But just like this, it is impossible to break out of the encirclement!

    Under the gaze of the strong man, dozens of soldiers beside the sports car raised their assault rifles at the same time, and they were about to blast the driver and the car into a sieve.

    When he just put down the binoculars to grab the head, a bright white light suddenly appeared in his vision again.

    The effect of using flash bombs at night is much more reliable than during the day. The dozens of soldiers surrounding the sports car have temporarily lost their eyesight under the white light, and they have become "eyes blind" who crash everywhere.

    At this time, the sports car had started again, and rushed toward the street where the strong man was!

    Seeing that the other party''s car lights were getting closer, the strong man smirked and put away his saber, took out a shot of the necessary artifact for shooting games from his backpack, and put it on his broad shoulders.

    At the same time, the equipment introduction also popped out in due course:

    RPG-7 rocket launcher.

    Long-range weapons.

    Item level: Sophisticated.

    The rocket launcher can be used without proficiency. Minimum strength required: 14. The strength value required to reach the maximum attack power: 17.

    "There is no enemy that can''t be dealt with with a single RPG. If there is, just try again."

    After aiming at the road in front of the sports car, a roar from the heart erupted from the chest of the brawny man who is a member of the RPG cult:

    "R¡ª¡ªP¡ª¡ªG!"

    This violent shout was round and full of breath, and even overwhelmed the noise of the sports car engine for a while.

    At this time, Lin Chi, who was driving, also with his super dynamic vision, noticed the man standing on the overpass, holding a rocket launcher and aiming at own!

    "It''s bad." He secretly said badly.

    At this speed, even if you make a sharp turn, it is difficult to avoid the direct attack of the rockets!

    Just when he resigned and stepped on the accelerator, the accident happened again.

    With a gunshot, the strong man carrying the bazooka stiffened and fell from the overpass. Immediately afterwards, a few more bullets shot towards the sports car driven by Lin Chi, smashing the front window glass of the convertible.

    "Ha, thank you."

    Lin Chi laughed, slammed the steering wheel to the right and rushed straight into the narrow road next to him.

    While making a sharp turn, the kill prompt also popped up:

    The player "your physical education teacher" was killed by the player "Second Uncle"!

    Lin Chi knew that now own life had become a golden brick in everyone''s eyes. No player will sit and watch other players grab the head, and because of this, the outbreak of PVP battles among other players has won him a chance to breathe!

    Unfortunately, this breathing opportunity did not last long.

    Before he could drive to the end of the street, he saw a military-green convertible jeep, which directly blocked the exit. The dazzling high beams were also lit in the rearview mirror. It was obvious that there was a car chasing after him. Abandon.

    At this time, it was too late to just step on the brakes!

    Realizing that he was about to hit the jeep in the way head-on, at the last moment before the car crashed, Lin Chi slammed on the brakes, leaned the car to the left, and hit the wall from the side.

    Wow!

    An extremely piercing noise suddenly sounded in his ears, and the body rubbed against the wall to create a spark, forcibly creating the effect of "sparks with lightning all the way".

    Immediately afterwards, the front of the Mercedes-Benz SLK slammed into the body of the Jeep, and the airbag suddenly popped out, pressing Lin Chi onto the seat.

    boom!

    Lin Chi drew out his pistol and exploded the air bag, pulled off his seat belt, and stood up with the anti-material sniper rifle. He just used that powerful "Barrett" into an invincible melee weapon!

    With a loud noise, the soldier who was hit in the back of the jeep was smashed to his head by Barrett''s zero-range shot.

    At this moment, Lin Chi had already jumped onto the convertible jeep, threw away the sniper rifle, raised his hand, and slit the driver''s throat!

    "Do you think this can kill me?"

    Lin Chi, with a red eye, opened the door and kicked the driver down. He started the accelerator in the light of the car and drove the broken jeep that was deformed. He carried the sniper rifle and headless corpse in the back, and continued along. The street began to flee.

    This time, his car didn''t even drive a hundred meters, and he saw a sixteen-wheeled truck on the road ahead, whistling frantically, rolling towards him.

 Chapter 20-Fighting Against World Night-3

    "Is there not a normal person in this city..."

    Seeing the truck rushing towards the broken jeep he was driving, Lin Chi grabbed the sniper rifle on the back seat, jumped out of the car and ran towards an alley by the side of the road. Although the running posture is very embarrassing, but under the current situation...I can''t manage that much.

    The shadow created by the front of the truck expands in the line of sight, and the shadow of own is already covered. At the last moment when the giant steel beast rushed forward, Lin Chi jumped forward--

    boom!

    With a thunderous and regretful roar, thick smoke rose into the sky, and the front of the sixteen-wheeled heavy truck crashed into a clothing store on the side of the road and got stuck in a position less than one meter away from Lin Chi''s body.

    Before the driver could get out of the car, Lin Chi was already holding the sniper rifle that he had used as a melee weapon, and fired three shots at the glass of the cab. After seeing the spray of blood on the window, he put away the sniper rifle. Turned and left.

    The player "Road Killer" was killed by the player "Countercurrent"!

    With the battle just now, his sniper rifle proficiency has gone from 0 Ascension to 5, which is another way to find a way to quickly improve his proficiency.

    But now, it is not time to rest.

    ¡ª¡ªNow, only four minutes have passed since the start of the reward task. Lin Chi knew that he still needed to evade for six minutes before he could completely get rid of other people''s pursuit!

    In such an alley less than two meters wide, if there is a gunfight, he will not even have a chance to hide.

    Mindful of this, he quickened his pace again, rushing to the exit on the other side in three steps and two steps.

    Before he could reach the exit, several men in black with guns blocked his way!

    "Damn..."

    After Lin Chi took out the "laser pointer" and pressed the button, he slammed his head on the cold concrete floor with both hands. A rain of bullets grazed over his head, blasting against the wall with a crisp crackling sound.

    Two seconds later, the three elite guards he hired arrived again.

    The window on the second floor of the building on the right suddenly opened, and the mercenary dressed in city camouflage uniforms popped out half of his body, and a deadly fire burst out of the HK-416 muzzle in his hand.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.

    The three people stuck at the entrance of the alley were caught off guard, and two of them were shot to death in an instant. The remaining man in black also hid behind the wall and dared not show his head.

    Just when Lin Chi stood up, the three elite mercenaries had jumped out of the window and stood beside him, using their bodies to block all possible bullets from around him:

    "Boss, please instruct." The voice of one of the mercenaries came from under the skull mask on his face.

    "Let''s get out from here. I will grab a car when we get to the road. You immediately retreat." Lin Chi gave instructions in a low voice.

    ¡ª¡ªAs long as you can grab a reliable car, you can deal with it for a few minutes, and with the fire support of three elite mercenaries, the success rate of escape is a little higher.

    "Received." The mercenary nodded slightly.

    Under the leadership of Lin Chi, the four of them quickly walked through the alley and rushed into the street next to them. Strangely, the large number of guards and soldiers in the imagination did not appear. It''s gone.

    What''s happening here?

    When Lin Chi was wondering, he saw a "killing machine" with a khaki-colored shell, approaching his location from the east side of the street. The track creates two gullies on the road.

    ¡ª¡ªIt is the M1A2 tank operated by two NPCs in the weapon shop!

    Seeing this scene, Lin Chi immediately understood the reason why there were no soldiers here: the soldiers in this area did not chase themselves, but were still chasing this heavy tank that raged from day to night!

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Since no one has completed the heroic mission called "Chariot of Destruction", this heroic mission still exists. And the tank that was set as the mission target was still very dedicated to rampage on the street, waiting for the moment when the player destroyed own.

    Realizing this, Lin Chi waved his hand and ordered the three elite mercenaries to retreat, but he stood in the middle of the road, blocking the front of the tank!

    "Wait a minute!" he shouted.

    Seeing that the tank was getting closer and closer to him, he was also ready to hide aside. Just when he was about to run, the sixty-ton tank... finally stopped.

    Then, "Rabid Dog" Satyana''s very gentle voice floated out of the tank:

    "It''s you, what''s the matter? The sabers we sell will not be returned."

    "You are being wanted, right?" Lin Chi went straight to the topic: "It just so happens that I am too, can you give me a ride? I can help you drive."

    ¡ª¡ªIf these two hero-level NPCs really have self-awareness, they should be exhausted after driving the tank for a long time.

    And Lin Chi''s current bet is that "they need other people to help drive" this!

    After he spoke, a black beard sigh sounded in the tank. It sounded obviously exhausted. It was completely different from the state in the gun shop before:

    "Boy, can you drive a tank?"

    "Of course." Lin Chi nodded confidently.

    As a professional player with a wide range of games, he has played brain imaging games such as "World of Tanks VR" before, and he is quite experienced in tank driving.

    According to the experience of driving, the driving operation in "War Paradise" has obviously been simplified, even if it is a tank, it should not be difficult to drive where.

    Police sirens sounded on the street behind, a dozen jeep-carrying soldiers approached quickly, and Lin Chi''s speech speed also accelerated a lot: "Is it all right? If I don''t need it, I''m going to run away."

    "..."

    The two in the tank were silent for a while, and the hatch at the top of the turret suddenly opened.

    "Come in, if you dare to act rashly, I will blow your head." Blackbeard threatened.

    Lin Chi didn''t pay attention to his threat at all, but climbed up the turret at the fastest speed and jumped into this heavy tank.

    After entering the tank, a rush of heat rushed into his face, immediately making Lin Chi feel like he was in a sauna.

    "Is there no refrigeration equipment in this tank?" he complained.

    "It broke two hours ago." Blackbeard said gruffly, and a sharp saber in his right hand had reached Lin Chi''s throat.

    "Don''t think about attacking us, or you will die miserably." The sweaty black beard threatened again.

    At this time, the brawny man had already taken off the interceptor''s body armor, and by the way, also took off his jacket, his body was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his face was flushed like pig liver.

    "I know, I know." Lin Chi looked around and looked at the complicated electronic devices in the small space: "I just want to run away with you..."

    Lin Chi knew very well that with his current attributes and equipment, if he wanted to kill two heroic characters in the narrow space inside the tank, the success rate would be zero.

    However, he didn''t have any intention of "killing and carjacking" at all, he just wanted to drive the tank and run away.

    What else Blackbeard wanted to say, the voice of the maid came from the cockpit in front of the car:

    "It''s time to go, you two sit firmly!"

 Chapter 21-The Night of Fighting the World-End

    As Lin Chi expected, the tanks in "War Paradise" have undergone a lot of simplifications compared to real tanks.

    Although the original complex eyepieces and electronic equipment are still there, they have become decorations similar to the textures in the old games. In fact, this tank can be operated by only one person.

    Because the armor is very heavy, in order to save the space inside the tank, the driver''s seat of the M1A2 tank is not an ordinary seat, but a reclining seat.

    In other words, the driver is actually driving this world''s strongest main battle tank in a semi-lying position.

    At this moment, lying halfway in the driver¡¯s seat, it was a certain blonde maid in the weapon shop¡ª¡ª

    "Grasp it!" Satya shouted.

    When the refrigeration equipment in the tank was broken, she was already sweating profusely at this time. The clothes all over her body were soaked in sweat and stuck to her body, and her long hair seemed to be stuck to the seat, and she looked like a disheveled hair. Looks very embarrassed.

    The sixty-ton war machine started again and drove along the street. Although many guards and soldiers were firing behind them, their poor weapons were unable to cause any damage to the armor of the main battle tank.

    "Need help?" Lin Chi walked to the side of the cockpit and looked at the design inside.

    Like the M1A2 tank in the real world, the direction of this tank is controlled by a joystick similar to the handlebar of a motorcycle. The button for firing the gun is directly changed to the joystick.

    As for observing the situation outside the tank, it is done through the display screen in front of the driver. The most intimate thing is that there is a green front sight in the center of the display screen...

    "Ha, it''s just like playing a game."

    Lin Chi laughed, and then realized that own was indeed playing a game.

    ¡ª¡ªThe fidelity of the brain imaging game is beyond imagination, and occasionally makes the player forget that he is in the virtual world. Moreover, it was the first time that even Lin Chi saw a game with a high degree of immersion like "War Paradise".

    "Well, I beg you, I''m almost exhausted..."

    Satya turned her head laboriously, squinted at Lin Chi''s light blue eyes, moved her body out of the cockpit, and slightly bent over to Lin Chi and made a gesture of inviting him in.This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

    Looking at Satya''s soaked "see-through costume", Lin Chi smiled and said, "You should change your clothes."

    Hearing this, the blonde maid looked down at Own''s chest, her face flushed suddenly.

    Lin Chi didn''t say anything, just lay down on the black leather chair in the driver''s seat and began to try to control this violent war machine.

    Within ten seconds, he figured out the simplified operation method of the tank, and then immediately manipulated the big guy to turn around and face the dozen or so jeeps that were catching up from behind.

    "What are you doing?" Blackbeard''s voice was slightly distrustful.

    "Of course I killed them!" Lin Chi rubbed his hands enthusiastically.

    In the early stage of the game, the players did not get enough weapons to explode the M1A2 tank, so they failed to complete the task. The NPC soldiers who followed were bound by the rules of the game and could not destroy the tank.

    Lin Chi knew very well that the soldiers in the City of Chaos must have the firepower to destroy the tank. But the problem is that this tank is set as the player''s mission target.

    ¡ª¡ªIf the NPC soldiers destroy the tank, the triggered hero mission "Destroy the Tank" will be completely meaningless. In other words, these soldiers kept this tank until now for the players to complete their tasks!

    In other words, now...

    "These bastards can''t resist tanks, can they?"

    Sitting in the small and hot cab, Lin Chi raised his mouth and smiled with excitement, then suddenly accelerated, driving the tank to the soldiers straight ahead!

    boom!

    He pressed the red button on the joystick, and the tank''s body shook violently, and the 120mm smoothbore gun burst out with dazzling fire, tearing the darkness of the night sky through.

    An oncoming jeep was hit by the front of a shell on the hood, and the whole car instantly turned into a burning fireball!

    The shock wave brought by the big explosion overturned the two jeeps next to them, causing the two jeeps to overturn the car at high speed. The roof and the upper body of the soldiers in the car were ground together, leaving a shocking impression on the road. Super long blood stains.

    "Take it to death!" Lin Chi roared and continued to drive the tank forward.

    But the convoy that was chasing the tanks ceaselessly started to be retreated...

    Click!

    A reversing jeep was roughly run over by a tank. The soldiers in the car were crushed directly into meat sauce, merged with the car body, and turned into a "strange substance" that even God can''t see what it is. ".

    Seeing the brutal killing scene, Blackbeard was silent for two seconds, and asked the "rabbit dog" beside him: "This kid is your relative? Why is he as crazy as you?"

    "Come on, I don''t have such a savage relative." Satya smiled.

    "It''s too convincing..." Blackbeard murmured.

    At this time, Lin Chi had no time to pay attention to the dialogue between the two hero-level NPCs. He just continued to manipulate the tank and bombarded a jeep on the right front, killing the lives of four soldiers again.

    In fact, he is not simply killing people, but also familiar with the operation of the tank, and at the same time, he also figured out some other settings in the game:

    Unlike the previous open world games, the "policeman" in this game will not keep rushing forward without fear of death. In the face of unmanageable firepower, even soldiers dispatched under the most wanted index will wisely choose to retreat.

    ¡ª¡ªIn other words, if it is the late stage of the game, if you can form a heavy firepower, you can even ignore the city guards and start the killing directly!

    "It seems it''s time to climb the''Tech Tree''." Lin Chi laughed.

    In this city, there must be a lot of "high-tech talents" like Junkrat. If you can receive these guys under your command, it will undoubtedly make the next game process smoother.

    However, Lin Chi''s first thing to confirm now is another matter:

    "Two, you are being wanted, aren''t you?"

    "What''s the matter?" Blackbeard frowned.

    "I want to ask, if you are interested in joining my camp, I can help you get rid of the wanted." Lin Chi said seriously.

    ¡ª¡ªEven if the character introduction has clearly stated "not recruitable", Lin Chi still tried to "recruit security" to these two hero-level NPCs.

    After all, the combat effectiveness of these two men is very terrifying.

    If the recruitment is successful, he can walk sideways in the city in the early stage.

    Hearing Lin Chi''s words, Blackbeard was silent again, and it took half a minute before he slowly replied, "No."

    "Why?" Lin Chi asked curiously, he heard the hesitation in the other''s tone.

    Then, the retired SEAL soldier with a beard gave an unexpected answer:

    "Because we cannot violate the''rules''."

 Chapter 22 The End of the Hunt

    Lin Chi pressed the red button and shot a van that rushed out from the street next to him, and the kill prompt bounced out at the same moment:

    The player "Pulse Response" was killed by the player "Countercurrent"!

    Lin Chi knew that this main battle tank was still very deterrent. After he got into the car, not only was the soldier beaten and turned around, the other players also disappeared, and they did not chase and kill like before. Own.

    At this time, the ten-minute countdown to the reward task was already nearing its end.

    As the soldiers and other players began to retreat, the tank at this time almost entered the state of walking on the street. As the pressure became less, Lin Chi decisively continued the topic just now:

    "What rules?"

    "You should know exactly what I''m talking about, kid." Blackbeard''s voice was helpless: "We are not the same as you."

    "Yes, we can''t be as ¡®free¡¯ like you." Satya took the stubbornly.

    "Is that so?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes slightly.

    It sounds like these two hero-level NPCs not only have self-awareness, they may already know that they are characters in the virtual world. but¡­¡­

    "We are not fools. Of course we know the difference between people from the''outside world'' and the aborigines." Blackbeard coughed: "In fact, we are not natives either, but..."

    Before he could finish his words, he stopped abruptly. Lin Chi looked back in surprise and saw that Blackbeard''s mouth was moving, but there was no sound.

    ¡ª¡ªHis voice is blocked?

    Realizing that he seemed to have triggered the shielding mechanism in the game, Lin Chi sighed helplessly: "In fact, what you call the''outside world'' is not that free."

    Whether it is the natural laws of birth, old age, sickness and death, or laws, regulations and ethics, even humans in the real world are always in a state of "dancing in shackles", and it is impossible to do whatever they want in a game.

    "I know, to some extent, we are actually more comfortable than you..." Satya laughed.

    She couldn''t even finish her words. The whole person suddenly squatted inside the tank with his head in his arms. The black beard next to him also squatted down without saying a word, looking like it was very painful.

    "What''s the matter?" Lin Chi had an ominous premonition in his heart.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

    "fine."

    The two stood up quickly, and their expressions returned to their usual state: "It''s just a joke."

    --Is it really?

    Although the conversation just now is likely to be an easter egg added by a game designer. But Lin Chi always felt that things were not that simple.

    As a professional player, Lin Chi knows that "Paradise of War" is indeed just a game. This kind of virtual world entered through a brain-computer interface cannot be real at all. but¡­¡­

    While he was thinking, a large string of text suddenly popped up at the bottom right of his sight:

    The reward task has ended.

    Congratulations to "Upstream" for successfully escaping the hunt! His wanted level has disappeared, and he has received a bonus of one hundred thousand dollars!

    You have become the first player to escape from the reward mission since the beginning of the test. You will get the achievement "Public Enemy" and unlock the new passive skill "Crazy Fugitive".

    "..."

    After reading a series of prompts, Lin Chi''s original six-star wanted index suddenly became 0. He parked the tank on the side of the road and asked again before leaving:

    "Really don''t want to go with me? The army has stopped chasing you for the time being."

    "Come on, the army is coming again soon." Satya curled her lips and raised her hand to wipe the large beads of sweat from her forehead.

    "All right."

    Confirming that the two men would not join the own army, Lin Chi also decisively opened the hatch and left the tank, then rushed into the apartment building beside him without saying a word, avoiding the dangerous area on the street.

    Even if the Wanted Index has disappeared, there may still be players staring at him. If the car rolls over in such a place, the gain is not worth the loss.

    After waiting patiently for five minutes, after confirming that no other players had entered the building, Lin Chi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    Then, he began to count the spoils of this rewarding mission.

    The 100,000 dollars in cash rewarded by the mission has automatically entered the briefcase, enough to hire dozens of mercenaries. In the originally empty skill column, there is also the newly acquired skill called "Crazy Fugitive":

    Crazy fugitive (passive skill): The experience of escaping from the most wanted index makes you an experienced fugitive. When wanted, the speed at which the Wanted Index fades is increased by 20%, and the effect is permanent.

    "Daddy has contributed to the country! Why are you hunting me down?"-Trevor Phillips.

    "Not bad..." He nodded in satisfaction.

    In this city that will trigger the wanted if you are not careful, the ability to quickly reduce the wanted index is undoubtedly very practical. In this way, even if he was chased by guards again, he should not be as embarrassed as before.

    In addition, the bomb tire task received from Junkrat has never been completed and has become "completed." As long as you return to Junkrat, you can receive the task reward.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi left the apartment building through the side door and returned to the quiet street, looking up at the near-real night sky.

    Although he was still very concerned about what Blackbeard and Satya said, he knew that he couldn''t ask any useful information from the NPC when the blocking was triggered.

    To figure out what happened in this game, you need to think of other ways.

    He grabbed a car from the street and returned to the central square where the war had just broken out. He saw that the previous soldiers had already evacuated and the square was restored to its original appearance.

    He came to the underground bar again after he was familiar with the road. Lin Chi gave a secret signal and passed through the long passage into the underground street of the black market.

    At night, there are fewer passers-by NPCs in the black market, and dozens of guards holding light machine guns are still patrolling conscientiously.

    Lin Chi was about to go to the shop where Junkrat was, and noticed a very discordant figure in the crowd:

    It was a guy wearing a red cloak, his head was completely covered by the shadow of the hood, only two weird red lights were exposed. His body was covered with pale bandages, and there were a few spikes protruding from his arms, which did not look like a human at all.

    Seeing this weird person, Lin Chi squinted his eyes meaningfully:

    "Is it a ¡®humanoid monster¡¯?"

    ¡ª¡ªIn brain imaging games, although gender cannot be adjusted when creating characters, some players with special hobbies will adjust their own characters to look like monsters.

    This type of player using non-human characters is called "humanoid monster" by other players.

    Obviously, this guy should also be a member of the humanoid monster!

    When Lin Chi noticed the player, the bandaged monster also noticed him, and slowly walked over at an uncoordinated pace, stopping in front of Lin Chi:

    "Hello, are you''reverse'', right?" Under the player''s hood, a non-emotional voice that has been electronically processed.

    "Yes, who are you?" Lin Chi frowned.

    Hearing his question, the other party stretched out his right hand that was also wrapped in bandages, as if he was still bleeding:

    "I am''Frankenstein''." said the player.

 Chapter 23-Frankensteins Melee Mode

    Frankenstein.

    At the same time that the name came into his ears, Lin Chi immediately realized that this person was the one who killed the three players in an instant at the beginning of the first full-band scan!

    At that time, Lin Chi was quite concerned about this player. After all, in the early stage of the game, killing three people instantly without any good equipment is not something that ordinary players can do.

    Looking at it now, just by the appearance of this guy, it has been separated from the "normal player"...

    "Hello." Frankenstein''s emotionless voice floated from under his hood, and he couldn''t tell whether it was a male or a female. A trace of blood slowly oozes under the bandage on his chest.

    "Are you okay?" Lin Chi shook the opponent''s cold right hand courteously.

    "It''s okay." Frankenstein said as he took out a few white pills from the satchel hung around his waist and threw them under the hood: "I''m fine."

    Facing this strange-looking "humanoid monster", Lin Chi couldn''t find any topic for a while. After a moment of silence, Frankenstein spoke first:

    "You''re good."

    "Yes." Lin Chi admitted openly, without any humility at all.

    He knew that the "brilliant deeds" that he had just escaped from the reward quest and killed three players by the way had obviously been spread among the participants in this game. Now even if you forcibly pretend to be weak, it is impossible to stage a drama like a pig and a tiger.

    More importantly, Lin Chi is currently very interested in Frankenstein.

    ¡ª¡ªIn this kind of map where most of the NPC characters are human-shaped, the weird appearance of the "humanoid monster" is undoubtedly very eye-catching, completely unable to play a role in camouflage.

    The humanoid monster player that dared to appear in this kind of map, if it weren''t for his own death, would definitely have a strong strength. And the Frankenstein who once killed three players in seconds, obviously belonged to the latter.

    "Do you like Frankenstein?" Facing the silent Frankenstein, Lin Chi took the initiative to look for topics.

    ¡ª¡ªFrankenstein, the legendary scientist, is the so-called "Frankenstein".

    The player''s body does look like it was spliced together, because Lin Chi has clearly seen that there are several obvious stitches under the bandage on the other''s ribs...

    After Lin Chi asked the question, Frankenstein did not answer immediately. He shook his head first, and then said slowly:The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

    "I am''Frankenstein.'' You are a strong opponent, but you will still lose to me."

    This person not only has a weird voice, but also has a weird grammar, which is not like a normal person''s way of speaking, but has a "print" style.

    "Who knows." Lin Chi is completely uninterested in slapping each other, just waved his hand and smiled: "I have something to do, you should be busy for now."

    He could see that Frankenstein was very cautious and did not reveal any news at all. That being the case, he also decisively gave up trying to figure out the details of this person.

    After all, if this guy can survive, they will meet on the battlefield sooner or later.

    Moreover, if you want to investigate this guy, there is actually a better way:

    Watching Frankenstein open the metal door to leave the underground street, Lin Chi looked around, and after confirming that there were no Frankenstein men around, he followed sneakily.

    The light in the passage was as dark as ever, and the figure of the bandaged man in the cloak in front was looming. Lin Chi kept a distance of about 30 meters from the opponent, making sure not to lose it, and silently squeezed the pistol in his pocket.

    In fact, he didn''t immediately kill Frankenstein''s thoughts, he just wanted to see where that guy came from.

    However, if Frankenstein is too dangerous, Lin Chi is also ready to deal with him directly.

    Following the Frankenstein back to the underground bar, because the other party''s characteristics are like a light bulb in the dark, it is very eye-catching among the crowd, Lin Chi also retreated a little bit to avoid being discovered by that guy.

    It seems that Frankenstein did not realize that he was being followed. But even so, facing such a strange opponent, Lin Chi did not relax his vigilance at all.

    Frankenstein did not choose to take the elevator upstairs, but walked into the stairwell. Seeing this scene, Lin Chi frowned slightly, opened his briefcase and took out the carbon steel saber, and put it in his pocket together with the scabbard.

    ¡ª¡ªHe found out?

    Lin Chi, who was not sure about the current situation, waited for ten seconds before cautiously following.

    The cold light cast by the incandescent lamp made a hint of coldness in the stairwell. There was no one empty in the corridor, and no footsteps could be heard.

    "What''s the situation?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

    With the moving speed of Frankenstein just now, it shouldn''t be upstairs so fast. In other words...

    Realizing that the other party is likely to be waiting for him in the corridor, Lin Chi directly drew out his saber and held it in his right hand.

    Then, his body suddenly stopped:

    If it is an ordinary player, it may not be visible, but as a professional player, Lin Chi has keenly noticed the abnormal situation.

    No matter how realistic the brain imaging game is, it is just a game. In this kind of game, if you want to sense hidden enemies or props, in fact, not only can you judge by the five senses, but there are also some other methods. .

    There seems to be nothing unusual in the stairwell, but the "data flow" is different from other places.

    Lin Chi couldn''t accurately describe that feeling, it felt like the sixth sense in the game. But what he can be sure of is: there is something hidden beside him!

    Thinking of this, he suddenly swung his dagger and pierced it against the shadow of the front wall!

    clang!

    The blade did not pierce the wall, but was blocked by hard metal. At the same time, a cold voice rang from the shadows:

    "You can see through optical camouflage."

    The figure of Frankenstein emerged from the shadow of "Nothing", and the steel arm guard installed on his arm just blocked Lin Chi''s dagger.

    "Where did you get the optical camouflage? If you say it, I can kill you."

    Lin Chi''s mouth was "friendly communication" with the other party, but the dagger in his hand was unambiguous, and it drew towards Frankenstein''s throat!

    While Frankenstein raised his right arm to block this strike, he put his left hand into his bag, before he had time to get something out, Lin Chi''s big foot was already on his chest, and his thin body hit the wall heavily.

    Although the current technological level of equipment lags behind a bit, Lin Chi''s melee combat ability makes up for this disadvantage.

    After a kick, a mouthful of old blood spurted out from under Frankenstein''s hood. Just as Lin Chi was about to pierce the opponent''s throat with his knife, this weird player... became invisible again.

    Click!

    The dagger hit the cold concrete wall, and the recoil made Lin Chi''s right hand a little numb. Frankenstein activated the optical camouflage at the last minute and disappeared like a ghost!

    Immediately afterwards, an unsentimental electronic sound floated over the corridor:

    "I will take revenge."

    "Ha, I''m waiting for you."

    Lin Chi said that he quickly put away the dagger, and strode out of the stairwell without looking back.

    Fighting against the enemy without seeing the enemy is really a disadvantage. If he continues to stay in that place, maybe he will be conspired by Frankenstein.

    Moreover, after learning that the opponent had optical camouflage, Lin Chi immediately thought of a way to deal with it.

    "Someone on the black market should be selling thermal imaging mirrors, right?"

    He smiled, retracted the dagger into its scabbard, and walked towards the entrance of the black market.

 Chapter 24 Bomb Backpack and Safe House

    The bomb shop operated by Junkrat still doesn''t have any customers, just like the last time I came here.

    Lin Chi walked to the counter, and before he could speak, the other party''s excited over-the-head voice rang:

    "You used bomb tires, right? I felt the vibration in the store! Isn''t my baby cute?"

    "Nonsense, I just used it nearby." Lin Chi said angrily: "What about the blast range of 20 meters? Daddy was blown up when standing 25 meters away."

    "Ah, that might be my calculation error, I''m really sorry."

    Junkrat said so, but there was still a usual weird smile on his face, without any embarrassment at all.

    Afterwards, the gray-headed man used his mechanical arm to take out a wad of cash and a silver bomb tire from under the counter.

    At the same time, in Lin Chi''s sight, a prompt to complete the task popped up:

    The mission "Bomb Tire" has been completed!

    You have been rewarded for the task: 10,000 US dollars in cash, the new bomb tire complete version X1.

    You gained 30 dominance points and 20 prestige points.

    After reading the information column of the task completion, Lin Chi rudely stuffed the loot into his briefcase, then opened the status column thoughtfully to check his current status.

    After completing the mission, both dominance points and prestige reached 30. It seems that these two points should be PVE rewards for completing tasks or killing BOSS.

    After experiencing the previous reward mission, Lin Chi''s kill count has reached five, and there are only two heads left to kill seven people required by the Murderer.

    In this way, it seems that PVP is faster...

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi smiled, closed the own status bar, looked up at Junkrat''s black and gray face, and asked, "Where is that backpack?"

    "Oh, I just forgot, the backpack is here!" Junkrat took out a red "school bag" from under the counter and placed it on the table.

    Lin Chi was about to stuff the bomb backpack into his briefcase when the nervous "bomberman" in front of him suddenly shouted again:

    "do not do that!"You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

    "What''s the matter?" Lin Chi frowned and looked at him.

    "This backpack must be carried with you. Putting it in other packages will explode!" Junkrat reminded: "Besides, don''t let it be shot, or it will explode!"

    Hearing this, Lin Chi put his right hand on the bomb backpack for a while, and the item information finally popped out:

    Ivan''s bomb backpack.

    Quest items are not tradable and cannot be used.

    The item may explode when placed in the item box, and will definitely explode when hit by a bullet or a severe impact.

    This backpack is the "source of power" of Crazy Ivan, and the bomb expert used the materials in the backpack to make the bomb. If you are not a bomb expert, don''t open it, otherwise you will... No, you have no chance to regret it.

    "All right¡­¡­"

    After reading the item information, Lin Chi sighed helplessly, picked up the dangerous red backpack, and carried it behind him.

    To recruit special NPCs, it was not as simple as I thought. On the way back to Beicheng District from the black market with this backpack, you must avoid fighting other players as much as possible, otherwise, if the opponent hits this thing with a shot, you will probably be blasted to the bone!

    Moreover, Lin Chi is more concerned now, there is another question:

    Looking at the "Hero-level NPC, recruitable (tasks to be completed)" on the top of Junkrat''s head, Lin Chi asked casually: "Do you have any other tasks that I can help you with?"

    "Not for the time being!" Junkrat said as he took out a trap and began to check the bite of the trap.

    "Then, are you willing to join me? The treatment is very good."

    As soon as he said this, Junkrat raised his head and glanced at him, and said straightforwardly: "No, I''m still opening a shop!"

    "..."

    Realizing that this NPC was still in a state where it could not be recruited, Lin Chi knew that he must have missed some task or ignored the timing of triggering.

    But for now, it is better to send the extremely dangerous bomb backpack to Beicheng District first.

    Lin Chi, who carried a "big bomb" with him, didn''t say much, and immediately left the black market with a bomb backpack and returned to the large square in front of the mall.

    Since the thing he was carrying was likely to blow himself up, this time he was more cautious than before.

    He walked quickly through the crowd and returned to the underground parking lot. He sat in the BMW M3 he had grabbed from the street before. Lin Chi put his backpack in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt very intimately. Just breathed a sigh of relief.

    He knew very well that if the backpack was hit by a bullet now, he would still be blown into the sky.

    But in any case, this thing is finally not clinging to own''s back...

    Driving the BMW M3 out of the underground parking lot and back to the street above, Lin Chi''s speed this time was also much slower than before, basically equivalent to those street cars driven by NPCs on the road.

    If you drive too fast, the bomb backpack might explode. In the current situation, it is better to be safe.

    Following a broken motorcycle, he slowly drove out of the city center. While driving to the north of the city, Lin Chi looked at the night scenes on both sides of the street.

    When he passed this side before, he was basically in a state of escape from the wanted, and he didn''t have the time to look at the surrounding street scenes. This time he finally had a chance.

    If the red backpack in the passenger seat is not there, this journey might be more pleasant...

    As BMW slowly entered Beicheng District, the houses on both sides of the street began to become more and more dilapidated, and street lights became scarce.

    Lin Chi was about to concentrate on the road, but suddenly saw a red light on a billboard, dispelling the shadows on the street:

    "This house is for sale! Only seventy thousand dollars."

    Behind the billboard is an old two-story apartment. The outer wall peeling off a lot, revealing the gray-white wall below, and the two windows on the second floor are also broken. It looks like it is common in horror games. Haunted house.

    "Um?"

    Seeing this advertisement, Lin Chi suddenly became interested, parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car and walked to the place of the billboard.

    ¡ª¡ªIn "Paradise of War", players can indeed buy houses and use them as their own bases. In addition to elite mercenaries, two types of mercenaries also need to provide shelters before they can be hired.

    Of course, it costs a lot of money to buy a house. Even this kind of broken house in Beicheng District requires 70,000 U.S. dollars to buy.

    If it is an ordinary player, it should be difficult to save 70,000 US dollars now, less than a day after the start of the game.

    But for Lin Chi, who has received one hundred thousand dollars from the reward mission, there is no problem in buying this building.

    Lin Chi walked quickly to the side of the billboard and saw a middle-aged man wearing a peaked cap, leaning against the billboard and smoking a cigar. The brown coat looks expensive, so the owner of this house should be right.

    Seeing someone approaching, the middle-aged man seemed to be in a bad mood, and asked angrily: "Is there something wrong?"

    "I''m here to buy a house." Lin Chi pointed to the "haunted house" behind the billboard.

    ¡ª¡ªIt''s time to buy a "base".

 Chapter 25 The Intruder in the Safe House

    Buying a house in the game is completely two concepts from the real world.

    If you want to buy a house in "Paradise of War", you don''t need to go through messy procedures, you don''t have to keep the house purchase contract and the real estate certificate, and you won''t be troubled by the mortgage every month.

    ¡ª¡ªYou only need to pay the cash once and get the key from the owner, and the house will become your private property.

    Of course, at the end of a game, the houses purchased by the player in this game will also disappear. But the houses in the game are not expensive. And at the end of each game, the player holds the interior decoration structure of the house, which will be saved as a "decoration template".

    That is to say, if the player buys a house with a similar structure in a later game, he can directly apply the decoration template of the past to decorate the house in the style used before.

    Lin Chi took out seven wads of cash from his backpack and gave it to the middle-aged man. The other party didn''t even count, so he put the money into the briefcase in his hand and handed Lin Chi a bunch of keys:

    "This house is yours."

    The man turned and left, and the billboard that was originally lit was also dimmed suddenly, and the words "This house is for sale" on the sign disappeared without a trace as if it had been erased.

    "Happy Trading."

    Lin Chi weighed the cold key in his hand and looked back at the bomb backpack in the car. After thinking about it, he took the backpack out of the car, then stood in front of the apartment¡¯s front door and opened the dust seal with the key. The gate for a long time.

    ¡ª¡ªAfter recruiting Crazy Evan, that guy might blow the house up to the sky. It''s better to take a look at the house you bought first when there is no accident.

    The key was inserted into the keyhole with a crisp clicking sound. Lin Chi opened the door and just walked into the room when he was choked with the dust on his face.

    As he stepped into the house with his feet, a few lines of game prompts popped out:

    You have purchased the building here as a safe house, and you can make any changes to the interior of the building. The following are the rules for the use of the house:

    The walls, doors, windows, and foundation of the house cannot be destroyed. Your subordinates can enter and exit at will, but NPCs and town guards who enter without permission cannot enter your house.

    When you are in a wanted state, you cannot enter the safe house.

    Other players can invade your safe house, but the house cannot be forcibly broken into doors or windows, and the strength of the lock is the highest. When other players invade, you will automatically receive an alert.

    You will be moved out of the safe house within five minutes before the start of the full band scan, and you will not be able to enter. Until the scan is over, you can return to the safe house.

    "There are quite a few rules." Lin Chi narrowed his eyes slightly.Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

    Obviously, these rules are set to prevent players from hiding in the safe room until the end of the game after killing seven people. However, Lin Chi didn''t want to be opportunistic. These rules didn''t have much impact on him.

    Looking back at the painted wooden door of the apartment, he couldn''t help being suspicious of the rule that "doors and windows cannot be destroyed", turned around and closed the door, took out the chain saw from the briefcase and saw it down against the door panel.

    Click!

    With a crisp sound, the seemingly vulnerable wooden door was undamaged, but the chain saw almost got stuck in the chain.

    Seeing this scene, Lin Chi put away the chain saw and nodded in satisfaction.

    It seems that the outer shell of this apartment should be protected by the most powerful "mysterious force" in the game-the rules of the game.

    Regardless of the game, the "rules" are the most powerful force, similar to the broken wooden doors in Resident Evil that seem to be kicked open with a single kick, but still have to be unlocked with a key.

    Or the "precipice" in "Dark Souls" that is less than half a meter in height but can''t climb at all.

    All have been blessed by the rules of the game.

    And the wooden door of the safe house is obviously set to be completely indestructible by the rules of the game.

    Under the protection of the rules of the game, even if the floor is washed by a nuclear bomb, this room will still be strong...

    After confirming the strength of the door, Lin Chi walked through the dusty corridor and entered the living room on the right. He fumbled around on the wall and finally turned on the living room light.

    There are no electrical appliances in the living room, just a sofa, a coffee table and a few chairs on display. It looks like it is old. The wallpaper that should have been milky white is also slightly yellowed, a bit like a house layout in the 1990s.

    Lin Chi put the bomb backpack on the chair, while leaning back on the sofa lazily, he sighed with satisfaction:

    Although there is no need to eat or drink in brain imaging games, proper rest and sleep are also necessary. After all, even if it is a virtual body, the spirit of manipulating the body will be exhausted. Sleeping in the game can also be regarded as one of the means to eliminate fatigue.

    The time limit for each Death game will last for five days-that is, twelve hours in the real world. It would be too difficult to stay awake for these five days.

    What''s more, Lin Chi originally belonged to the kind of "lazy" guy...

    As soon as he leaned on the sofa, a sense of sleepiness surged in my heart. When Lin Chi was about to sleep first, the slight noise from the next room made him wake up instantly.

    clang!

    It seemed that some metal object had fallen on the wooden floor, making a crisp crashing sound.

    "Anyone?" he whispered.

    ¡ª¡ªAccording to the rules of the safe house, any NPC, including guards, should not be able to enter without the permission of the owner.

    Is it a mouse?

    Lin Chi took out his saber from his pocket and walked slowly towards the door on the west wall of the living room.

    If there is a player hiding in the house, he should receive an intrusion alert. The NPC was completely unable to enter the house, and the only possibility he could think of was the mouse.

    With a creak, Lin Chi opened the old wooden door, and what you saw was a simple bedroom with a double bed in the center and a two-meter-high wardrobe against the wall.

    Lin Chi used the moonlight from the window to press the light switch, only to find that the light in the bedroom seemed to be broken and did not turn on.

    "Um?"

    He clenched the carbon steel saber, walked to the front of the double bed and took a look, made sure that no one was hiding by the window, and then turned to look at the wardrobe behind.

    "How are you?" Lin Chi asked tentatively.

    There was deathly silence in the bedroom, and even the sound of a heartbeat could be heard.

    At that moment, he suddenly had the illusion that he was playing a horror game-in the current situation, he seemed to have also encountered it in "Silent Hill"...

    Lin Chi took a deep breath, stepped forward and grabbed the handle of the closet. After he was ready to deal with the enemy, he pulled hard.

    Click!

    He pulled down the dilapidated wardrobe door.

    At the moment when the cabinet door fell, a sharp cold light suddenly appeared, piercing Lin Chi''s throat!

    There is an ambush!

    Between the sparks and flints, Lin Chi jumped back to avoid the opponent''s attack, and then kicked directly into the cabinet, but... his right foot didn''t hit anyone, but he slammed behind the closet. On the side of the wooden board.

    what''s the situation?

    Lin Chi hadn''t figured out what was going on, the knife in the other hand had already been stabbed at his calf. He took two steps back in embarrassment, avoiding the knife with an embarrassment, and then saw a thin black figure that jumped out of the closet and quickly rushed into the living room.

    ¡ª¡ªWhat the hell is that?

    Seeing that the other party was about to run, Lin Chi, who was in a state of confusion, immediately took out his "laser pointer" and called three elite mercenaries, shouting, "Grab him!"

    Before he finished speaking, he heard a scuffle and struggle in the living room. Lin Chi walked over quickly. When he saw the thin figure pressed by the mercenary on the ground, his eyes widened in surprise:

    "It''s you?"

    The one who was subdued by the elite mercenaries was an unkempt little girl dressed in rags similar to a sack.

    At this moment, she was struggling like a wild cat, raising her head laboriously, staring at Lin Chi with green eyes, and a low roar from her throat:

    "Who are you?"

    "You killed a Fatty bodyguard and took the bodyguard''s pistol, right?" Lin Chi said as he took a photo from his pocket and threw it in front of the girl: "That guy is offering a reward for your head."

    "So you were sent by him to kill me?" The girl''s voice was hoarse.

    Hearing this, Lin Chi raised the corners of his mouth, with a weird smile on his face, and shook his head meaningfully:

    "No, he has been killed by me."

 Chapter 26 Fearless Warrior-1

    The girl who was subdued by the elite mercenaries was very thin and looked only fifteen years old at most.

    Her long dark brown hair draped over her shoulders like dry kelp, her face and body were filthy, as if she had just crawled out of a garbage dump, and she couldn''t distinguish her original skin color.

    Looking at this strange intruder, Lin Chi squatted down in front of her with great interest, rubbed her dirty cheek with the back of a saber, and asked:

    "I want to know, how did you get in?"

    ¡ª¡ªAccording to the rules of the safe house, there should be no unauthorized NPC entering. Before a player buys it, the house should be completely unmanned. Otherwise, the homeowner wouldn''t be standing outside the house at night.

    So the question is, how did this guy get into the house?

    It seems that she should have been hiding here before the house was sold. If it weren''t for a bug in the game, then...

    Could it be that special NPCs can ignore the rules of the game?

    Lin Chi stared at the girl''s face for a while, and did not pop up the name tag or prompt of the special NPC. The girl was obviously an ordinary NPC, not that special kind of existence.

    The girl didn''t answer the question, just stared at Lin Chi with light green eyes, looking like an irritated wild cat.

    Seeing that she seemed very stubborn, Lin Chi sighed helplessly, and suddenly lowered her voice:

    "You came from a slum, you should be able to tell that I have no interest in little girls at all, and I am not the kind of person who ¡®loves, cherishes and cherishes jade¡¯."

    As soon as this remark came out, the girl''s struggling a little less, Lin Chi smiled and continued:

    "So, if you don''t say anything...I should kill you and throw your body out to feed the dog."

    Upon hearing this, the girl''s body trembled at an imperceptible extent, but there was still no sound.

    Seeing that the girl didn''t mean to confess at all, Lin Chi raised the carbon steel saber and shook it in front of her face. Then--

    He put away his saber, stood up and sat on the sofa, narrowed his eyes and yawned:

    "Go and tie her in the bedroom, I''m going to sleep."

    He originally joined the game to observe the AI, so naturally he would not kill this strange NPC directly, and keeping her should still be useful.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.

    Moreover, if she has the power to ignore the rules of the game, she will undoubtedly find a treasure this time!

    Lin Chi, who was already exhausted, leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes, and added: "Watch the guards, don''t let her run away, and don''t let anyone enter the house. I suspect there may be a secret passage in this house."

    "If anyone comes in..." a mercenary asked.

    "Don''t talk about killing."

    As soon as Lin Chi finished speaking, he quickly entered a dreamless sleep.

    ...

    When he opened his eyes again, sunlight had already poured in from the broken window in the living room.

    In the time bar next to the minimap, the time displayed was 7:35. Lin Chi stood up contentedly, stretched his waist, and walked into the bedroom to check the "captives" he had caught.

    The girl was tightly tied to a wooden chair by rope, her eyes closed looked like she was asleep. There were three elite mercenaries with live ammunition standing nearby, staring at her without blinking.

    "Thanks for your hard work, no one will come in at night, right?" Lin Chi asked casually.

    "No, we also checked all the corners of the house and did not find any secret passages or hidden entrances." The mercenary standing on the left side of the chair said.

    ¡ª¡ªDefinitely an elite mercenary, really dedicated...

    Lin Chi sighed secretly in his heart, and then continued to give orders: "Leave one person to guard her, and the other two will follow me."

    He picked up the bomb backpack, left the dilapidated apartment, and walked towards the "office" where Greek was.

    After the rest, it''s time to hire some new subordinates.

    The streets of Beicheng District were as dirty and messy as before. Some gang members, as well as the guys who were obviously taking drugs, wandered the streets.

    There were a few gangsters with short knives who wanted to trouble the "outsiders", but after seeing the two elite mercenaries behind Lin Chi, they retreated wittily.

    Entering the alley behind the bar, knocking on the door four times, the iron door slowly opened, revealing Greek''s familiar pale face.

    "Have you brought back the bomb backpack?" Greek asked.

    Lin Chi took off the red backpack from behind and shook it in front of the opponent''s eyes.

    "Okay, okay..." Greck''s body shrank back: "Don''t come in, I''ll bring that madman out for you."

    "Is it so scary?" Lin Chi smiled.

    "I used to work in a four-story building. After recruiting that lunatic, I moved here the next day." Greek said with lingering fear, and closed the iron door of the cabin heavily.

    Two minutes later, a happy bald man walked out of the room with a red face, and when he saw the backpack in Lin Chi''s hand, he rushed over at the speed of a hungry tiger and shouted:

    "Isn''t this my backpack! I''m finally back!"

    Lin Chi handed the bomb backpack to Crazy Yiwen, and a reminder of the task completion popped out:

    The mission "Bomb Backpack" has been completed!

    You got a follower: the special NPC "Crazy Evan".

    You gained 30 dominance points and 20 prestige points.

    Under his gaze, the bald man wearing a white vest and army green trousers seemed to be reborn, with a bomb backpack on his back, and muttering words like "Praise the Soviet mother" in his mouth.

    While Crazy Evan was still celebrating his freedom, Lin Chi spent another twelve thousand dollars to hire four elite mercenaries from Greek.

    He is not interested in the tactics of the crowd, and pays more attention to quality than quantity. With previous combat experience, Lin Chi is still very satisfied with the combat effectiveness of elite mercenaries.

    "Can you go now? I don''t want to see that madman still wandering around here." Greek glanced nervously at the crazy Evan next to him.

    "Wait a minute, I have another question. Do you know where anyone can help decorate the house?" Lin Chi asked.

    "For decoration... go straight from here, the shop is 200 meters away."

    Greek finished speaking very quickly, and immediately fell heavily on the iron gate. Lin Chi didn''t stop too much, stretched out his hand to grab Crazy Ivan''s arm, dragged the bomb expert who was still cheering, and walked quickly to the position that Greek said.

    Before stepping out of the alley, he suddenly heard a sudden burst of gunfire on the street in front of him.

    Lin Chi stretched out his right arm to signal the two elite mercenaries to retreat, while poking out his head cautiously, he looked in the direction where the gunfire sounded.

    He saw three walking "cans", holding light machine guns, massacring gang members on the street.

    The gray armor on the three people was extremely bloated, and the thickness was beyond the scope of the body armor, but the explosion-proof suit used by the bomb disposal unit. On the semicircular helmet on his head, a smiling skull pattern is drawn.

    In less than five seconds, the gang members wandering on the street had fallen down seven or eight people. Although these gangsters were also fighting back, the pistols and submachine guns in their hands could not penetrate the heavy armor of those three!

    After witnessing the slaughter of gang members by three heavily armored soldiers, Lin Chi opened his eyes slightly.

    Because, this kind of elite soldier, he once saw in an old game called "Call of Duty":

    "This is the''Fearless Warrior''? There is still this unit in the game?"

 Chapter 27 Fearless Warrior-2

    Players who have played the famous shooting game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" series in the early 21st century should all be deeply impressed by one of the elite units.

    This kind of crazy soldier named "Fearless Warrior", wearing a set of explosion-proof suits for bomb disposal units, is protected by strong armor, and swept the entire battlefield with a light machine gun in his hand.

    If you use ordinary firearms to attack, you need several magazines to solve them. Even if you use an anti-equipment gun that can kill ordinary characters in one hit, you need several consecutive headshots to get it.

    These savage killing machines will not stop even if they are shot, they will only step forward with firm steps and bring Death to every corner of the battlefield!

    "What''s happening here?"

    Watching the fearless fighters massacre the gang members on the street, Lin Chi was a little confused for a while.

    At this time, on the heads of these soldiers wearing heavy gray armor, a red skull icon marking their identity and a line of red text were already displayed:

    Fearless warrior, hero-level NPC, cannot be recruited.

    ¡ª¡ªSo, why do these guys come to slaughter other NPCs?

    Lin Chi, who has not yet figured out the situation, did not take to the streets rashly: without knowing whether the opponent will attack own, going directly to the street is undoubtedly a deadly act.

    How about running from the back exit?

    Lin Chi looked back at the exit at the other end of the alley, then cast his eyes on the heavy armor on the fearless warrior again, and began to think:

    ¡ª¡ªJudging from his game experience, these fearless fighters should be "elite monsters" regularly refreshed in Beicheng District. It may be that the Silver Shield Security Company sent over to kill in order to prevent local gangs from becoming too powerful.

    Elite monsters in general games will drop some good equipment after being killed. As for what equipment the Fearless Warrior will drop, it is already clear at a glance without saying:

    If you can get the heavy bulletproof armor on these guys, it will be basically invincible in the early stage of the game. Even in the late stage, this kind of armor will still have the power to fight!

    Realizing this, Lin Chi also immediately made a decision. Instead of turning around and running, he asked the two elite mercenaries behind him:

    "Do you have any smoke bombs on your body?"

    "There are smoke bombs, but these soldiers are difficult to fight." A mercenary whispered.

    "I know." Lin Chi glanced at the elite mercenary. He thought these guys would only obey orders completely. It seems that even ordinary NPCs would have their own ideas.The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

    Reaching out and dragging the crazy Yiwen who was about to run out back into the alley, Lin Chi summoned the elite mercenaries he had just hired. He thought that only six would come, but he didn''t expect all the seven mercenaries to appear beside him.

    "Everything came here, didn''t I say to leave someone to guard the girl?" He frowned slightly.

    "I knocked her out!" one of the mercenaries replied proudly.

    Lin Chi did not continue this topic, but resisted the urge to complain and began to issue combat instructions.

    Since the three fearless warriors are all powerful hero-level characters, and there is an unstable factor of Crazy Ivan in the team, even Lin Chi cannot guarantee 100% success.

    However, the key to the success or failure of the action fell on the bomb expert!

    ...

    As everyone began to confirm the battle plan, the fearless warrior was about to kill the corner of the street. The entire street was littered with the bodies of many gang members, and there were at least thirty people visually.

    The invulnerable weapons of the gang members are like mosquitoes stinging on the quilt when they attack the fearless fighters, and they have no effect at all. The MAG43 light machine gun in the hands of the fearless fighters can easily tear their thin clothes and flesh and blood!

    As the surviving gang members turned around, the unfair showdown finally came to an end.

    The three fearless soldiers put down their light machine guns and slowly turned around. When they were about to leave, two elite mercenaries wearing urban camouflage uniforms suddenly rushed out of the alley and fired at the fearless fighters.

    All three precise shots hit the back of a fearless soldier. Before the three "big guys" turned their heads, the two mercenaries who fired had lowered their stature and jumped into the bar on the street.

    "You b*****d, don''t come in!" The waitress hiding behind the bar yelled.

    Before she finished her words, she was overwhelmed by the tyrannical sound of three light machine guns firing at the same time.

    The three fearless warriors strode towards the entrance of the bar. The machine guns in their arms kept spitting out the tongue of fire. The violent bullet rain shattered the windowpanes of the bar, and then blasted the tables and chairs in the house.

    When the fearless fighters were suppressing the two soldiers in the bar, the young man in black long clothes had led five other elite mercenaries out of the alley, lying on the ground and setting up the feet of the M82A1 anti-material gun.

    Through the sniper scope, he locked the head of a fearless warrior.

    After going through the battle of rewarding tasks, his sniper rifle proficiency reached five points. Although proficiency alone cannot guarantee a hit, years of game experience has virtually provided a bonus to his aiming stability.

    boom!

    After the deafening noise, the muzzle of the anti-material gun glowed brilliantly, and the dust on the ground nearby was blown to both sides.

    This shot accurately hit the helmet of a fearless warrior, and the hitting guy almost fell down. The other two who were attacking the mercenary also turned around instantly, transferring their hatred to the current "most threatening". Lin Chi''s body!

    "Do it!"

    When Lin Chi gave the order, he put away the sniper rifle and withdrew back into the alley. The five mercenaries beside him threw smoke bombs into the street, and the gray smoke that rose into the air blocked the sight of the two warring parties.

    As the smoke rose, the five mercenaries immediately retreated and left the street quickly.

    However, it is of course impossible for the Fearless Warrior to give up the attack because of the smoke.

    Three "fat" figures strode out through the smoke five seconds later, and walked towards the alley where Lin Chi was hiding. The light machine gun in his hand was as solid as a rock, and the muzzle was facing the alley.

    There is no doubt that as long as they see the enemy, they will pull the trigger within 0.5 seconds and blast any living creatures that appear in the field of vision into a sieve!

    The three fearless warriors quickly stood in front of the alley. The alley was empty and there was no one.

    They did not hesitate, and continued to stride into the alley. The man walking in the front, the heavy metal boots stepped on the manhole cover in the alley, making a dull crashing sound¡ª¡ª

    boom!

    With a loud noise, a fiery fireball rose into the sky, and the pressure-sensitive bomb that Crazy Evan installed under the manhole cover exploded. The two closest fearless warriors had their explosion-proof suits burned to black!

    The armor of these guys is extremely terrifying, even in the case of close contact with the explosion, it is still not completely damaged.

    But the ground under their feet is not so strong!

    Click!

    The ground in the alley fell apart. The two fearless warriors in front had no time to dodge, so they fell into the big hole exploded by the bomb and fell directly into the sewer.

    The fearless warrior who was in charge of the palace did not fall, but the explosion-proof armor on his chest also showed small cracks in the explosion.

    This "lucky guy", who didn''t fall into the sewer, but was still a little embarrassed by the bombing, saw the dark heavy gun barrel, which had reached the crack in his armor chest!

    boom!

    Barrett''s bullet fired from a zero distance penetrated the weak point of the armor, and after tearing the chest cavity of the fearless warrior...it stuck on the bulletproof steel plate inside the armor.

    Lin Chi, who was holding a sniper rifle, looked at the huge figure with blood on his chest and fell to the ground, with a bright smile on his face:

    "You lost," he said.

 Chapter 28 Damaged Battle Armor

    After successfully solving a fearless warrior, Lin Chi did not risk trying to kill the other two underground, but immediately ordered the mercenary to drag the body of the fearless warrior into the alley and began to take off the heavy armor of the opponent.

    This type of heavy armor used to resist heavy fire attacks can be described as tightly connected at the joints, and can even be immune to poison gas attacks.

    Needless to say, it is very difficult to take off the armor from the outside.

    Lin Chi and the two mercenaries took a lot of effort to finally take the explosion-proof suit off the body, and then the chest muscle was opened with a big hole.

    The man''s body was thrown into the big pit that had just been blown up.

    "Fortunately, it is Beicheng District." Lin Chi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

    There is no city guard here in Beicheng District, and even if you are in a street shootout, you will not be wanted. If you are in another location in the city, you might have been wanted for a long time, so you can only give up this armor and choose to run away.

    At this time, the inside of this heavy armor, which was a bit like a "canned bottle", was already dripping with blood. Lin Chi put his right hand on the equipment and paused for a while, and the item introduction came out thoughtfully:

    The heavy forged armor of the fearless warrior.

    Heavy armor. It is damaged and cannot be equipped.

    Item level: Epic.

    Armor, you can use it without proficiency. Minimum strength required: 17. Reaching the maximum defense power requires a strength value: 20.

    "This armor is the reason why the fearless warrior is invulnerable. You only need to wear it, take a light machine gun, and you can take a leisurely walk on the battlefield."

    After reading the article introduction, Lin Chi frowned again:

    Unlike the previous two purple outfits that burst from the player, this is the first time I picked up epic-level equipment from a "monster". Obviously it was a very memorable moment, but it was a pity that this armor was broken.

    The big hole punched in the chest by the anti-material sniper rifle just now is really very conspicuous. If you want to use this armor, you must first find someone who can repair it. After the big hole in your chest is blocked, this armor will have practical value.

    So, where are the NPCs that can repair the heavy armor?You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

    Lin Chi tried to stuff this dozen kilograms of armor into his briefcase, but failed without any suspense. Only two elite mercenaries can be ordered to carry the armor on their shoulders and walk towards the safe house.

    He wanted to go directly to the NPC to decorate the safe house. After experiencing the unexpected incident, he also decisively changed the Target: It is better to bring the armor back to the safe house first, in case something goes wrong and loses. If you have this armor, you will lose a lot.

    To his surprise, "Crazy Evan", who was crazy before, was exceptionally quiet on the road, it was like a different person.

    Looking at the bald one-eyed man walking with his head down, Lin Chi asked curiously: "Are you feeling well?"

    "Ah? No!" Crazy Yiwen''s words were still exaggerated as always: "I am very satisfied with the explosion just now! Still aftertaste!"

    Before Lin Chi had time to complain, the other party spoke again: "As long as I can blow it up every six hours, I will be very satisfied!"

    ¡ª¡ªIt seems that like the black beard who "not allowed to shoot in the gun shop", Crazy Ivan also has rules, and his rule is that a bomb must be planted every six hours.

    Realizing this, Lin Chi didn''t say much. Even if this guy needs to install bombs four times a day, he can still be quiet for another five hours...

    Leading his men back to the door of the safe house, Lin Chi took out the key and opened the door. Before he could enter the house, he saw a little girl in a torn cloak standing in front of the corridor, with the nine "macho men" at the door. Looking at each other.

    "Huh?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.

    "Ah." The girl made a surprised voice.

    ...

    If you encounter some frenzied player, what will happen next is probably the indescribable plot of "Slum Girl VS Nine Mature Men".

    It''s a pity that Lin Chi is more disciplined.

    He just punched the girl in the face and knocked her out again, then lifted her thin body and threw it on the double bed in the bedroom.

    "This is your home? It''s luxurious!" Crazy Evan walked into the living room and looked around.

    "Are there problems with your eyes?" Lin Chi said, avoiding the entrance of the living room. Two mercenaries carrying the armor of the Fearless Warrior walked into the room and placed the armor on the wooden floor of the living room.

    "When I was in service, I was lying in ambush in the wilderness every day!"

    Crazy Evan sat on a chair and put the bomb backpack by his feet: "At that time, the U.S. had a mining vehicle that could teleport over time, and I would often install bombs.

    On that kind of minecart, when it teleports back to the base...BOOM!"

    "Oh, I know, I''ve played that before." Lin Chi, who has played computer games of the previous generation, nodded perfunctorily and asked: "Who do you know, can you repair this armor?"

    "I don''t know!" Crazy Evan replied loudly.

    "Okay." Lin Chi smiled helplessly.

    ¡ª¡ªIn the black market, there may be craftsmen who can repair this armor. If you go to the black market now, you can also see if you can recruit Junkrat to your subordinates.

    Just when Lin Chi was about to leave for the black market, the long-lost system announcement came on again:

    "Twenty minutes later, the second round of the "full-band scan" of this game is about to begin. Players, please be prepared."

    "At the beginning of the full-band scan, the locations of all players will be marked on the map as red dots for one hour."

    "You are still in the safe house. You will be moved out of the safe house five minutes before the start of the full-band scan, and you will not be able to return to the safe house before the end of the scan. Please be prepared in advance."

    Upon seeing this news, Lin Chi knew that he could not go to the black market for the time being:

    As he predicted, in order to encourage players to perform PVP, the duration of "full-band scanning" in the game is gradually increasing.

    The second scan lasted twice as long as the first. It is conceivable that the next scan time will only become longer. At the late stage when the game limit time of this round is about to end, this scan may be maintained throughout the entire process until the final winner is determined!

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi moved his limbs, stared at the mercenaries around him, and whispered:

    "Ready to go, guys."

    "Do you want to kill? Can I participate?" Crazy Evan pointed to Own''s face excitedly.

    Seeing the excitement of the bomb expert, Lin slowly nodded his head-if he left this lunatic in the safe room, he would not know what would happen...

    The mercenaries wearing urban combat camouflage uniforms with skull masks on their faces began to check the assault rifles in their hands. One of them said: "The leader, it''s time to give our team a name."

    "what¡­¡­"

    Hearing this request, Lin Chi, who was suffering from naming difficulties, was silent for a while. After thinking for a while, he finally thought of a name in an old comic that has been serialized to this day, and said to the seven elite mercenaries:

    "''Qiwuhai under the king'', what do you think?"

    "..."

    As soon as he said this, the mercenaries in the house fell silent.

 Chapter 29: The Elegant Killer

    After a moment of silence, one of the mercenaries finally spoke: "Boss, I think it''s better to change the name..."

    Seeing the "caring for mentally retarded" gazes of the seven elite mercenaries under his command, Lin Chi coughed embarrassingly and asked, "How about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?"

    "Not very good," the mercenary replied.

    "Can Seven Fairies?" Lin Chi asked again.

    "We are men, thank you." The mercenary''s voice sounded a little frustrated.

    "Seven Dwarfs?"

    "Chief, do you want to say that you are a princess?"

    "Then ¡®Calabash Baby¡¯?"

    "Do you really know how to name it?"

    After borrowing several impressive names in a row, they were all denied by the mercenaries. Lin Chi shook his head: "Well, let''s call it the mercenary now."

    In terms of his naming talent, he was too bad to be saved. Even his own character names were randomly generated, and he didn''t know how to name his own troops at all.

    However, there are only seven elite mercenaries and "Crazy Yiwen" under the current subordinates, and they have not yet reached the point where they must be formed.

    ¡ª¡ªPerhaps you should ask the members of your team in the future, how to name the characters better?

    Seeing the expressions of relief on the elite mercenaries, Lin Chi sighed again and signaled them to disband on the spot. He left the safe house with Crazy Ivan and returned to the streets of Beicheng District.

    With ten minutes left before the full-band scan started, Lin Chi had not walked two steps before he found that there were fewer gang members on the street than usual.

    Even if the Fearless Warriors had been killing on the streets just now, it did not cause this kind of attrition. In Lin Chi''s view, the sudden decrease in gang members clearly illustrates a situation:

    "A player is here?"

    He quickened his pace thoughtfully, walked into a small restaurant on the side of the street, and stood at the window to spy on the outside under the surprised gaze of the fat boss.

    It seems that other players should have also discovered the advantage of Beicheng District-this area is not protected by the Silver Shield Security Company, and even if it kills people on the street, it will not be wanted by the guards.

    Although the gang members on the street also carry guns, their firepower is more than one grade worse than the soldiers who will come to chase the player under the high wanted index.

    This chaotic slum area is simply a perfect killing field, and it is really suitable for fighting!

    Unsurprisingly, Lin Chi only waited for less than two minutes before he heard the roar of high-power engines from the street.Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

    Three black Dodges picked War Practitioners and hurried past the old streets of Beicheng District, with the car roof mounted on the roof.

    The heavy machine gun is very conspicuous.

    This team is clearly led by the player, and the equipment level is much better than Lin Chi''s current lineup. As for why it has an advantage in equipment, the reason is also very simple:

    "Ha, this kid didn''t sleep last night?" Lin Chi laughed.

    ¡ª¡ªIt seems that many players should be seizing the opportunity to increase their strength while sleeping.

    Lin Chi once heard that certain fanatical players who want to win will take mental stimulation drugs before entering the brain imaging game to force themselves to stay awake during the game.

    Lin Chi has always been very disgusting with the behavior of using doping, but he has to admit that those guys who use drugs to play games are indeed much faster than normal players.

    After the three "chariots" left, Lin Chi was about to leave the restaurant, but suddenly noticed that on the corner across the street, a tall man in a suit and leather shoes walked out, especially formally dressed, in this hip-hop style slum. It seems very uncoordinated.

    "Comrade, can we go out? It''s boring to stay here!" Crazy Yiwen saluted a non-standard military salute.

    "Wait a minute, there are enemies outside."

    Lin Chi grabbed the bomb expert who was about to leave, pressed him on the chair next to him, and continued to observe the movement outside through the window.

    According to his experience, the names of other players can only be seen when entering a combat state or when the full-band scan begins.

    Under normal conditions, if you want to see the names of other players, you can only wait for the other party to actively display their names like "Moon Shadow Qianzhong".

    So now, although he has determined that the man in the suit is a player, he cannot see the other''s name. but¡­¡­

    Under Lin Chi''s gaze, the man in a suit did not leave the street as quickly as a normal player.

    "Why is this person making trouble?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

    The full-band scan will start in less than five minutes. Many players are on their way to Beicheng District. However, this person stands in the street with no followers and smokes in this situation.

    Lin Chi knew that if this person was not deliberately committing death, then he must have left behind. And those who deliberately die should not survive now, so...

    "Are you two eating or not?" the restaurant owner asked impatiently.

    Then, when he saw the two-meter-long sniper rifle in Lin Chi''s hand, the boss closed his mouth wisely.

    Lin Chi put the M82A1 on a greasy plastic table in the restaurant, while the man sat on a chair beside another table, and started aiming through the window glass, locking the sight on the man in the suit.

    "You are the LOWest sniper I have ever seen!" Crazy Evan laughed at his posture.

    "Are you here to fight or to make complaints?" Lin Chi ended the topic rudely, and continued to aim at the opponent intently.

    At present, his sniper rifle proficiency is 6 points, and he can already carry out medium-range sniping, and can at least guarantee to hit a stationary enemy within 300 meters.

    The man in the suit is only about two hundred meters away from the restaurant. There should be no problem with hitting, unless...

    Less than five seconds after Lin Chi just aimed at the opponent, the familiar red skull mark suddenly popped out, and then a line of small red characters appeared:

    "Elegant Killer" Hecht, a heroic NPC, has been recruited.

    ¡ª¡ªThis guy is not a player at all, but a hero-level NPC recruited by other players!

    "Using own subordinates to attract firepower, this person is really shameless."

    Lin Chi put away the sniper rifle, with obvious contempt in his voice.

    The opponent is not a player but an NPC, and shooting him directly will expose his own position. What''s more, this is still a hero-level NPC, maybe it will perform some stunts such as "bullet time", and then complete the anti-kill gorgeously.

    So now, Lin Chi didn''t do anything immediately. He just turned around and smiled kindly at the restaurant owner and asked politely: "Does this restaurant have a back door?"

    "Of course." The restaurant owner Wei Wei Nuo looked like he had encountered a plague: "Please come with me."

    When Lin Chi was about to turn around and leave, he heard the crazy Yiwen next to him speak: "Ah, I know that person!"

    Hearing this, Lin Chi looked at the bomb expert who was not in a stable state of mind: "Have you seen him?"

    "When I first came to this city, I went to Greec to''find a job'' with him." Yiwen stretched out his hand and scratched his head: "This kid always wears a suit and is very decent, like the typical capital of the American emperor. Domineering lackey..."

    "Stop talking nonsense, does he have any specialties?" Lin Chi roughly interrupted Crazy Yiwen''s speech.

    "Oh, this, let me think about it..." Crazy Ivan said slowly: "He seems to have said that own has a very strong sixth sense, and you can feel other people watching Own''s eyes, no matter if the person staring at him hides. How far¡­¡­"

    Hearing this, Lin Chi almost spit a mouthful of old blood on Crazy Yiwen''s face: "Why didn''t you say it earlier?"

    Before he could finish his words, the brown-haired man in a suit and leather shoes suddenly threw his cigar away and turned his head to look at the restaurant window.

    Then, two rifle grenades broke the glass and crashed into the restaurant!

    At the moment of his death, Lin Chi kicked over the plastic table next to him, and lay down on the dirty ground with his head in his hands.

    boom!

    The grenades that exploded at close range almost deafened his ears. The plastic table used as a bunker was blown off by the shock wave and hit the restaurant owner''s head, causing the owner to foam up and fall down.

    "Too bad, can this be called an explosion!" Crazy Yiwen shouted at something in Russian, and his white vest was blackened.

    "Don''t talk nonsense, go!" Lin Chi grabbed Crazy Yiwen''s arm and turned around and ran.

    Climbing and rushing out of the back door of the restaurant, before he could catch his breath, a scarlet text prompt lit up in his sight:

    The full band scan is officially started, remaining time: 59 minutes. The locations of all players have been displayed on the map, I wish you a happy hunting!

 Chapter 30 The Killers Betrayal

    At the same time as the full-band scan started, dozens of red dots appeared densely on the map. What''s different from last time is that this time, most of them appeared in Beicheng District, which no one cared about before.

    Seeing this scene, Lin Chi knew that the residents of Life in Beicheng District, who were in dire straits, might have an unforgettable day.

    But now, it''s not the time to care about such things.

    At lightning speed, he took out the pistol and fired four rounds, blasting the head of a man in black at the back door of the restaurant. Lin Chi took out the summoning device from his pocket, pressed the red button, and shouted: "Mercenary! "

    Seven Daoist ghostly flashed out from all corners of the back alley, occupying seven shooting points in the back alley within five seconds, blocking all the positions where the enemy might appear!

    "How did you do it?" Crazy Evan looked back at the greasy wall with a dazed expression.

    Then, from the street next to it, a dull explosion sounded.

    While seeing the enemy''s position, the players'' barbaric killing game immediately kicked off, and the Beicheng District was shot and bloody. If you don¡¯t know the current situation, you might mistakenly think that you have traveled to Iraq.

    Unlike the first full-band scan, most of the players who participated in the war this time have developed small-scale forces.

    Because of this, the battle in this scan is much more exciting than the first time¡ª¡ª

    "Ah ah ah ah ah!"

    Accompanied by the barbaric howling, the three Dodge War Practitioners that drove through the street just now drove back again. The heavy machine gun on the roof, under the operation of mercenaries, was madly at all living creatures on both sides of the street. Spit out tongues of fire.

    They just killed a few people.

    Suddenly a rocket was dragged with white smoke, and it flew out of the window on the second floor of a nearby building.

    It directly hit the hood of the last black tank and blew the whole car into the air.

    Rising up, flying three meters away in a circle and hitting the middle of the road, turning into burning twisted scrap.

    Seeing that his comrades were killed, the machine gunners on the remaining two cars immediately turned their guns and started shooting at the second floor of the building. The intensive bullet rain instantly blasted the concrete walls of the house into riddles!The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

    While the second floor of the house was shot by machine guns, the first kill in this full-wave scan finally appeared:

    The player "RPG Cultist" was killed by the player "King of Darkness"!

    "There are quite a few believers in the RPG religion."

    Lin Chi sighed with emotion and winked at the crazy Yiwen next to him.

    The Soviet blasting expert wearing a vest and trousers rubbed his hands happily, took out a red bomb from the bomb backpack, suddenly lowered his head, and the whole person jumped out like a cheetah at an incredible speed!

    The first time he saw Crazy Yiwen''s frontal fighting style, Lin Chi was also a little surprised, and then immediately ordered the mercenaries to fire from the right side, attracting the firepower of the two cars.

    The mercenary machine gunner in the car was about to shoot at the elite mercenaries under Lin Chi''s command, only to find that a bald head wearing an eye mask had rushed to the front of a chariot!

    "f**k, run!" A horrified voice sounded from the car.

    At this time, Crazy Ivan had entered the dead spot of the roof machine gun, and the Dodge War Practitioner had just begun to accelerate. The bomb expert lifted his right hand and the bomb he threw directly stuck to the car door.

    boom!

    There was a loud noise, smoke filled, and the second tank disappeared in a shocking explosion, and the kill prompt also bounced out at the same moment:

    The player "King of Darkness" was killed by the player "Countercurrent"!

    After the employer was killed, the mercenary in the front car did not continue to resist, but quickly started the engine and ran across the street corner.

    "You are quite fast." Lin Chi walked out from behind the restaurant, with a slightly surprised expression on his face.

    He originally only wanted to see Crazy Ivan''s combat effectiveness before sending this guy out, but he didn''t expect this person to move so fast, even faster than his elite mercenaries.

    "A bomb must be fast. This is my experience on the battlefield!" Crazy Ivan said with arms folded: "If you go slow, won''t you be beaten to death on the road?"

    "Okay, it''s time to withdraw." Lin Chi looked at the small map.

    A few more kill prompts popped up, and the number of players in Beicheng District decreased again. But despite this, dozens of people still gathered in this area, and the sound of gunfire and explosions, mixed with vague screams, came from the neighborhood next to it.

    Since there were four red dots within a range of less than 500 meters, Lin Chi did not intend to stay here for a long time, and immediately led the soldiers under his command to an apartment building next to the street.

    As he passed the graffiti-filled wall, he glanced thoughtfully at the cigar that was thrown on the sidewalk.

    ¡ª¡ªI discovered the "elegant killer" of own before, but after that, he suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he did not continue to pursue him.

    Could it be that he hired his player and ordered this NPC to retreat? But normal people should always choose to chase after victory, right?

    Lin Chi didn''t say much, but walked quickly into the corridor entrance and began to arrange a line of defense in the corridor under the command.

    At the same moment, in a yard next to the block, there was a handsome, handsome, black-haired, red-eyed young man who was known to be a player by his appearance. He was furious at a man in a suit:

    "Why don''t you catch up?" The black-haired man stared at his suit and leather subordinate with furrowed brows, and said coldly, "Give me a reason."

    The reprimanded "elegant killer" Hecht slowly raised his head, with a hint of hesitation in his voice: "Boss, I suspect that this person has a late move, and it might be dangerous to chase him..."

    Before he could finish his words, he slapped the black-haired man on his face. Although he was still standing still, a subtle light flashed in his eyes.

    "You can do whatever I ask you to do! It''s just an NPC, dare you to comment on my tactics?" the black-haired man gritted his teeth.

    "But you have only one tactic, that is, every time you send me out to die, to help you figure out where the enemy is..."

    Before Hecht had finished speaking, he took another kick on his stomach, leaving a dirty shoe mark on his black suit.

    "Do you have any comments on my tactics?" His master lowered his voice.

    "No more." Hecht shook his head.

    "It''s pretty much the same." The black-haired man snorted in satisfaction, then turned and said, "Come with me and kill a few more people."

    boom!

    With a gunshot, the player fell down with a shocked expression on his face.

    He never dreamed that he would be betrayed by his heroic NPC!

    "This ghost game...what are you...joking..."

    The black-haired man who was shot in the back coughed up a mouthful of blood and tried to crawl out of the yard in vain, but Hecht stepped on his back.

    Then, the man in the suit, code-named "Elegant Killer," raised the P226 pistol engraved with delicate patterns, and pointed the muzzle at his owner''s head:

    "I''m sorry, I don''t think I am suitable to work with you."

    After Hecht finished speaking, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

 Chapter 31 Fireworks Show

    The player "Black Mage" committed suicide!

    When this line of prompts appeared, the sound of guns in Beicheng seemed to pause for an instant, and then it rang again.

    "What''s the situation?" Lin Chi''s expression was a little confused.

    In the player who has survived to the present, of course, there will be no fancy fools, even he can''t figure out why this person committed suicide.

    Is it just an accident? Or¡­¡­

    Recalling the "elegant killer" who had disappeared just now, Lin Chi glanced at the mini map and found that the four red dots within 500 meters before had become three.

    The player who was killed by Crazy Ivan just now also added a kill for himself. In this way, other players killed by NPCs under the player''s command will also be counted in the number of kills of the player himself.

    ¡ª¡ªSo, what if the player''s NPC suddenly betrays and kills the owner?

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi didn''t say much, just glanced at the street outside the window thoughtfully, and then led his men to the second floor.

    So far he has collected six heads, and he is only one short of the number of kills required by the "murderer". But to win by killing monsters, one of the more critical conditions for victory is to survive when all other players are dead.

    At present, there are more than fifty players left, and it is very early before the other players are all dead. Lin Chi is also safe, and did not venture out to collect the heads, and continue to stay in the apartment building to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

    However, it is obviously impossible to watch the game leisurely when the full-band scanning starts.

    Three nearby players were displayed on the map. Two of them moved toward the south side of the map, while the other slowly moved toward the building where Lin Chi was.

    "Prepare to fight."

    Lin Chi gave instructions to the mercenaries around him. The seven mercenaries spread out tacitly, squatted under the window frame, took out the periscope-like gadget from the tactical vest, and stretched out the window to peer down.

    In contrast, Crazy Ivan doesn¡¯t look like a professional soldier at all. He is still leaning against the wall and humming an out-of-tune Soviet ballad. His face scorched by the thick smoke with an undisguised smile is obviously right. Very satisfied with the explosion.

    "It''s really exciting to mix with you, let''s blow up this city to the sky together!" Crazy Evan laughed.

    Lin Chi had no time to chat with the madman, but leaned against the window frame and slightly tilted his head to peek at the scene downstairs.

    Unlike the previous "Knife King", which moved amazingly fast, this time the attacking own enemy was not fast, as if he were walking.

    Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

    Five seconds later, the red dot turned a corner on the map and entered this street.

    Lin Chi''s brows frowned even more when he saw the opposing team''s lineup:

    ¡ª¡ªUnlike yourself, the other party obviously pays more attention to quantity. Because there are now forty mercenaries, walking towards this apartment building.

    These mercenaries are all wearing ragged jungle camouflage uniforms, all using AK-47s, and wearing gas masks. It seems to be a terrorist rather than a soldier.

    The player was very shrewd and didn''t come with his subordinates, but sent mercenaries to fan out on the street, preparing to encircle the building where Lin Chi was.

    "This kid treats mercenaries as consumables, right." Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.

    Since most players have not even purchased a safe house, even Lin Chi did not expect that the enemy would hire so many ordinary mercenaries.

    ¡ª¡ªIt seems that the opponent should have hired a large number of mercenaries for this scan. As for the accommodation of these mercenaries...As long as they are killed in this battle, you don''t have to worry about it anymore.

    Even if the soldiers under his command are all elite, in such a closed building, once surrounded by enemy forces, they can only be slaughtered!

    Realizing this, Lin Chi didn''t let the elite mercenaries launch a preemptive attack. Instead, he waved his hand and ordered:

    "retreat."

    "Huh?" The elite mercenaries made a stunned voice and turned to look at their leader: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

    These elite mercenaries, who are set to come and go without a trace in the game, can indeed "disappear out of thin air" in the building. But Lin Chi and Crazy Yiwen were unable to "teleport" suddenly like they did.

    In the eyes of the elite mercenaries, this choice of the leader was basically equivalent to giving up resistance, but Lin Chi did not explain anything, but ordered them to retreat again.

    "All right¡­¡­"

    The mercenaries looked at him worriedly, and the shadow of escaping into the corridor disappeared.

    Seeing that the seven elite mercenaries had left, Lin Chi turned to Crazy Yiwen and asked, "You should be able to blast in a targeted manner?"

    "Of course!" Crazy Ivan patted his chest proudly: "That''s the basic skill of a blasting expert!"

    "Well, your chance is here..."

    Lin Chi lowered his voice and quickly issued instructions to the blaster.

    After listening to his orders, Crazy Evan nodded and said: "Yes, I need a minute to prepare."

    "OK, I will fight for you this minute." Lin Chi smiled, took out the anti-material sniper rifle from his backpack and set it on the window.

    boom!

    A mercenary who walked on the right side of the encirclement had his upper body blasted back and flew out, but his legs walked forward two more steps, and then he fell to the ground feebly.

    "..."

    Seeing the extremely miserable death of their companions, the other mercenaries were stunned for two seconds before raising their AK and aiming at the window on the second floor.

    At this time, Lin had put away the sniper rifle sooner or later, avoiding the dangerous position in front of the window.

    "kill him!"

    I don¡¯t know who yelled first. The mercenaries began to suppress the second floor of the apartment building with firepower. The overwhelming rain of bullets shattered all the outer windows of the second floor, and the speed of enclosing the apartment building was suddenly slowed down. .

    Seeing that he had successfully attracted firepower, Lin Chi threw out a few flash bombs and smoke bombs he had obtained from the "Rainbow Six Weapon Store", further delaying the speed of the enemy mercenaries. Then shouted loudly: "Alright?"

    Crazy Ivan''s voice was caught in the dense gunfire, and it came intermittently: "Give me ten more seconds!"

    Hearing this, Lin Chi simply threw away all the flash bombs and smoke bombs in his backpack, creating the illusion that "dozens of brothers hiding in the building can kill you". Then I closed my eyes and counted ten silently in my heart.

    Do it!

    When the countdown reached zero, he rushed out like a hungry wolf, rushed into the stairwell in three and two steps, smashed the window glass at the corner of the stairs, and jumped out from the back of the apartment building!

    Before he fell to the ground, he had already seen the figures of two mercenaries appearing on the left. He immediately drew his pistols and shot them in the air before he fell heavily on the open space behind the building.

    "Damn, it''s fortunate to weaken the pain..."

    Lin Chi looked at the glass ballast on his clothes, looked back at the broken window with lingering fear.

    Then, he squatted behind the wall with his head in his hands decisively, and firmly covered his own ears.

    After another two seconds, the most terrifying explosion since the beginning of the game has arrived!

    Buzzing!

    The frantic noise and the howling of violent air currents shook Lin Chi for a while and lost his hearing. The ground under his feet also began to tremble constantly.

    The fiery flames instantly shattered the front part of the apartment building, carrying dozens of tons of steel and cement, and spewing out toward the street in front. More than 30 mercenaries who were fanning out, even before they let out a scream, they were blown up to death!

    Amazingly, even if the first half of the apartment building was blown up, the back wall of the apartment building that Lin Chi was leaning against was only slightly cracked. Except that the glass was shattered, it was still in a firm state, and it didn''t mean to collapse at all.

    ¡ª¡ªUnder Crazy Evan¡¯s incomparable blasting skills, the entire apartment building turned into a huge one-way "firework"!

    "This kid is really scary..."

    Lin Chi staggered to his feet and shot and killed a mercenary who was stunned by the explosion not far away. Then I saw Crazy Ivan pushing open the iron door at the back of the apartment and strode out:

    "How about it, not bad!" The blasting expert laughed.

    Lin Chi, who was still a little dazed by the explosion, couldn''t think of any adjectives for a moment, so he nodded:

    "It''s not just good, it''s just too good..."

 Chapter 32

    Unlike ordinary mercenaries, hero-level NPCs and special NPCs that can be hired have uncertainty.

    These guys have different personalities, and their abilities are also different. They are not like ordinary mercenaries that can come and go, and even have to meet certain conditions to satisfy them.

    If used well, these NPCs can be transformed into weapons of mass destruction like Crazy Yiwen, causing incredible damage!

    But if you don¡¯t use it well and anger such NPCs...

    Recalling the player who committed suicide before, Lin Chi smiled, called out the seven elite mercenaries under his command, and rushed towards the location of the player who had just sent mercenaries to surround the apartment building.

    After the gorgeous explosion, the battle has been completely reversed, and the red dot on the map began to recede quickly, obviously in flight.

    "kill him."

    With an order from Lin Chi, seven mercenaries crossed the burning street and rushed across the corner. After a few seconds, a mercenary returned to report the situation:

    "Boss, he hid in the sewer, do you need us to hunt down?"

    Hearing this, Lin Chi shook his head: "No, someone will help us deal with him..."

    Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of light machine gun shooting from the ground, echoing continuously in the sewer.

    Then, another kill prompt popped up:

    player "Pangolin" was killed by an NPC!

    "Sure enough." Lin Chi laughed.

    He knew that it was the two fearless fighters who had fallen into the sewer before to help him solve the running player: after all, it was not easy to climb out of the sewer while wearing that kind of armor.

    Looking back at the wreckage of the burning apartment building, Lin Chi noticed that several red dots that were approaching on the minimap had also been evacuated within 500 meters. It seems that the big explosion just now also played a role in deterring other players.

    When no one dared to approach, he was also happy. Sitting comfortably on a bench on the side of the street, he did not join in the chaos of other players.

    However, there are certain things that make Lin Chi more concerned:

    Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.

    ¡ª¡ªWhere did that guy go?

    During this full-band scan, the player he was most concerned about-the "Frankenstein" wearing optical camouflage, did not get any kills, nor was it killed by other players.

    Frankenstein didn''t seem to take part in this full-band scan, he was planning something, and the equipment on that guy also made Lin Chi very concerned.

    So far, the technological level of most of the equipment in this city is within the scope of the beginning of the 21st century. Only Junkrat¡¯s ¡°bomb tires¡± look a bit sci-fi, but to put it bluntly, it¡¯s just a big deal. No.¡¯s remote-controlled bomb.

    However, the optical camouflage on "Frankenstein" has completely surpassed the scientific scope of other equipment, not to mention the era in which the City of Chaos is located.

    Even in the real world in 2035, optical camouflage equipment is still in place.

    During the experimental period, it was not put into mass production.

    So, where did the optical camouflage on this player come from?

    While thinking about it, Lin Chi noticed a red dot rushing towards this block, so he stood up and rubbed his hands, smiling at the elite mercenaries who had just rushed back:

    "Time to work, guys."

    ...

    When the second full-band scan was over, Lin Chi''s number of kills reached eight people, which had already exceeded the number of kills required by the "killer demon", the winning condition.

    As all the red dots on the map disappeared, the players began to retreat from the Beicheng District, and the battle statistics also popped out:

    "The second full-band scan is over, the number of deaths: 17. I wish you all a happy game."

    Although the number of deaths this time is a bit less than that of the first scan, the number of players left in this game is less than 50 even if the number of players that hang up elsewhere is counted.

    "We are going to win!" Crazy Evan waved his arms happily.

    "Not yet." Lin Chi replied casually, walking through the particularly desolate street with the blasting expert.

    After two scans, the game has entered the middle stage, and the remaining players are also strong players. Those who are new, fake, and all kinds of fancy dead players have basically been eliminated. NS.

    Therefore, the next battle should be more difficult than before.

    Before the third scan begins, it is necessary to continue to develop power.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi first brought Crazy Yiwen back to the safe house and let this guy who had just created a big explosion and was still in a state of satisfaction stay to visit his house.

    Then he returned to the street and found the store that Greek had said before, which could renovate the safe house.

    Walking into the store, I saw a tall man who was studying the complicated drawings laid out on the table. Seeing a visitor, this person greeted him warmly and asked: "I am an engineer here. Do you need renovation?"

    "Yes." Lin Chi nodded, "What are the plans?"

    "There are two options." The engineer led Lin Chi to the workbench.

    Lin Chi originally thought that the two so-called plans should be just a change in the interior styles of "European" and "Chinese", but when he saw the drawings on the workbench, his eyes widened slightly because of surprise.

    "Well, I will read the tutorial before entering the game next time." He sighed.

    ¡ª¡ªIf it was not because he was too lazy to read the tutorial, when Lin Chi bought the safe house, he would immediately come to decorate it.

    Because this so-called decoration is not simply repairing the interior of the house, but completely transforming the safe house into other buildings!

    The two decoration schemes that appeared in his sight were "barracks" and "studios":

    As the name suggests, the barracks plan is to transform the safe house into a barracks that can accommodate a large number of soldiers, suitable for players who like "violent soldiers".

    Soldiers stationed in the barracks will receive a combat power bonus. The hero level and special NPCs inside will also increase satisfaction. Players who have built a barracks will also get a skill called "War Horn", which can improve all attributes of their own within a period of time.

    As for the workshop plan, it is to transform the safe house into a small combat laboratory, suitable for players who like to upgrade the technology tree.

    Compared with the barracks, the number of soldiers that can be accommodated in the workshop is much smaller.

    In order to research technology in the workshop, the player must have his own prestige value Ascension to a certain level before he can recruit engineers.

    In addition, the research in the workshop also requires a lot of funds, as well as various materials collected in each area of the map.

    "Which solution do you need?" the engineer asked.

    Upon hearing this, Lin Chi gave the answer without hesitation:

    "Of course it is Kobo, thank you."

    At this time, he finally knew how the optical camouflage on "Frankenstein" came from, presumably that guy has already built a workshop and is constantly researching!

    Although the construction of the workshop requires a lot more funds than the barracks, after it is completed, it is necessary to collect materials and increase prestige. But Lin Chi, who himself had no interest in crowd tactics, chose Gongfang decisively.

    "Let''s upgrade the technology tree..." he smiled.

 Chapter 33 Intercepting Mission-1

    Ten minutes later, when Lin Chi, who was standing in front of the safe house, handed over 50,000 US dollars in cash to the engineer for the "decoration fee", there was only less than 500 yuan left on his body.

    "The renovation work will take two hours. Please don''t let anyone in during these two hours."

    The muscular engineer, with a kind smile on his face, closed the door of the safe house heavily, shutting Lin Chi, Crazy Yiwen, and the girl with their hands tied outside the door.

    "Are you going to create an explosion!" Crazy Evan stared at a small building on the side of the street not far away with interest.

    "Honestly, it''s not six hours yet." Lin Chi reminded.

    After experiencing the big explosion in the apartment building just now, he was also a little more alert to Crazy Ivan-the explosive power this guy created was really too strong. God knows what else is hidden in his bomb backpack.

    As the engineers are currently remodeling the safe house, they cannot return to the safe house within two hours. When Lin Chi was thinking about where to find something to do, he heard Crazy Yiwen say:

    "It''s time for us to eat!"

    "Oh." Lin Chi looked at the other party''s blackened face thoughtfully.

    As a player, he has no feeling of hunger or thirst in the game. But these NPCs should still need to eat and drink in the setting.

    Although I wanted to tell the other party, "You won''t starve to death even if you don''t eat," Lin Chi still wisely chooses to take him to the restaurant when he thinks of the power of Crazy Ivan''s bomb.

    The two walked two steps, but the little girl in rags still stood still and did not move. Lin Chi turned around and asked, "What''s wrong?"

    "Can I go too?" The girl''s voice sounded weak, and her legs seemed to tremble slightly, as if she had been hungry for a long time.

    Hearing this, Lin Chi patted the little girl on the shoulder, took the saber from her pocket, and cut the rope in her hand.

    "If you come with us, I can pay for your meal. Of course you can leave by yourself, whatever you want." He said.

    Lin Chi knew that it is not a good way to always tie this girl:

    The reason why he would catch this guy was just trying to figure out how she got into the safe house. If the girl is always hostile, there will be no way to ask the truth from her.This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

    Just as Lin Chi expected, after he cut off the rope in the opponent''s hand, the girl who had regained her freedom did not run away. She just stood there and hesitated for a moment, blinked in confusion, and then - followed decisively. Stand beside Lin Chi.

    "I''m hungry..." she whispered.

    "I know." Lin Chi glanced at her.

    On the streets of Beicheng District where the war just broke out, pedestrians are extremely rare, and bullet craters and blood stains can be seen in many places on the streets. There are only a few light poles on the sidewalk that can still stand.

    After crossing the sparsely populated street, looking around and confirming that there were no players nearby, Lin Chi took two NPCs and walked into a fast food restaurant on the side of the street.

    "Order whatever you want."

    Lin Chi, who had no idea of eating at all, leaned on the creaking broken wooden chair and checked his current attribute values while the two of them were ordering food:

    Role name: Countercurrent.

    Domination points: 60.

    Prestige: 50.

    Kills: 8.

    Strength: 15 (10 for ordinary people).

    Agility: 13 (10 for ordinary people).

    Endurance: 18 (10 for ordinary people).

    Lucky: 11 (10 for ordinary people).

    "Ascension..." He moved his arms thoughtfully.

    The current virtual body of own is indeed a bit more flexible than when I first entered the game. The two attributes of strength and agility should be ascensioned with the amount of exercise after exercising in the game.

    But what about the "lucky" attribute?

    Even now, Lin Chi hasn''t figured out what bonus this attribute will provide for himself. As for why it has been a little self-associated inexplicably, Lin Chi also doesn''t know.

    In a normal game, increasing the luck value can result in the Ascension dropping good equipment, or the Ascension crit rate and other attributes.

    But in this game, it seems that there is no concept of "critical strike" at all.

    If you want to pick up equipment from an NPC, you only need to pick up the corpse directly.

    So the question is, what is the use of luck?

    While thinking about it, they saw that the two had already come over with burgers and French fries. Seeing that the girl wearing the "sack" was about to sit down, Lin Chi reached out and stopped her again:

    "You better go and wash your hands first, and wash your face by the way."

    ¡ª¡ªThis girl is really too dirty. Compared with her, Crazy Evan can be regarded as a kind of talent.

    "Oh¡­¡­"

    The girl looked unwillingly at the hamburger on the tray, and then quickly walked to the restroom behind the restaurant.

    Watching the girl''s back disappear into the corner, Lin Chi just turned his head and saw Crazy Yiwen staring at him with a meaningful gaze, so he asked, "What are you doing?"

    "Comrade, shouldn''t you be interested in the little girl? I really didn''t see it..." Crazy Evan laughed and gnawed a bite of a chicken leg.

    "Don''t be nonsense." Lin Chi didn''t bother joking with the NPC at all, but looked down at the few poor bills left in the briefcase.

    After paying for the meal, he only had more than four hundred dollars on him. Not to mention the materials needed to buy the workshop, this little money is not even enough to buy a grenade.

    In Ascension''s prestige, before recruiting engineers, you need to find a place to get some money.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi turned to look at the tattered street outside the restaurant.

    In this kind of city, you might be able to make money quickly through robbery as you did in GTA.

    ¡ª¡ªHowever, it is better not to go to banks in other urban areas.

    Based on Lin Chi''s experience, just detonating a bomb in an underground parking lot in the city center would trigger the most wanted. If he robbed the bank, he would definitely reach the highest wanted level, triggering a bounty mission to be hunted down by the whole city.

    In the last bounty mission, I happened to run into a tank before successfully escaping. If I did it again, I''m afraid there would be no such good luck.

    However, if it is in Beicheng District¡ª¡ª

    According to Lin Chi''s previous observations, there seems to be only one gang in Beicheng District. The gang members are all wearing purple hoodies, with cross-shaped patterns painted on the front of their clothes.

    In this chaotic zone with no city guards, even if you robbed the gang''s vault, it will not trigger the wanted, at most you will be hunted down by the gang members.

    However, the remaining more than 400 yuan of "start-up funds" should still be enough to equip themselves and their subordinates with masked headgear...

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi looked at Crazy Evan and asked, "Do you know anything about the gangs in this neighborhood?"

    "I don''t know, I''m a soldier in the Soviet Union, I don''t put these punks to put in one''s eyes at all!" Crazy Evan gobbled up and said, "That kid Gecke seems to know something, when I was locked in a dark room by him. , I heard him mention the gang a few times."

    "Well, let''s talk to him later." Lin Chi nodded.

 Chapter 34 Intercepting Mission-2

    While they were talking, a girl in a torn cloak sat at their table.

    Lin Chi didn''t react at first, but he was stunned for two seconds before asking, "Who are you?"

    "It''s me¡­¡­"

    The girl stretched out her white hand, grabbed a handful of French fries, stuffed it roughly into her mouth and gobbled it up.

    At this time, although her long brown hair is still in a "kelp"-like state, her hands and face are finally clean, and she finally reveals the true face she has hidden for a long time.

    She is not particularly beautiful, but she is definitely not ugly. The green eyes squinted comfortably, like a wild cat that had just caught a mouse, and the skin color was sickly pale, which should have been caused by the long-term life in the slums where the sky is not visible.

    "Not bad." Lin Chi laughed.

    Hearing this, Crazy Evan''s eyes suddenly became complicated again: "Comrade, you really are..."

    "Don''t bullshit." Lin Chi interrupted the blasting expert''s nonsense and asked the girl casually, "You killed one of Fatty''s bodyguards and took the bodyguard''s gun, right?"

    "Yeah..." the girl said slurredly, "I threw the bullet afterwards."

    Hearing this, Lin Chi stared at the girl who was devouring, and began to plot a robbery plan.

    ¡ª¡ªIt seems that this little girl is also capable of fighting, and it should not be low. At least in ordinary NPCs other than mercenaries, it can be considered very high.

    After all, taking guns from bodyguards to kill them is impossible for ordinary NPCs.

    This girl also looks pretty good. If she is allowed to dress up, she can even play the role of the "princess" of a wealthy family to relax those gang members. Then others will wait for the maneuver!

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi didn''t say much, but just continued to stare at the girl for a while, the crazy Evan beside him coughed and said:

    "By the way, there are beautiful women in our Soviet army!"

    "Which one?" Lin Chi asked curiously. After the previous battle, no matter what character appeared in the game, he would no longer be surprised.Stolen novel; please report.

    "Of course it is, "Natasha the sniper with no bullets." You should have heard of it, right?"

    "Oh, where is she now?"

    "How do I know?" Crazy Evan replied straightforwardly: "I only know that she is here too!"

    "Okay." Lin Chi smiled helplessly, temporarily letting go of the idea of recruiting Natasha.

    In this game, recruiting heroes and special NPCs is naturally the more the better.

    After all, even if you do not recruit, other players will rush to recruit. Moreover, the only winner in each Death game will receive special rewards:

    The player who wins the Death competition will get a chance to draw a lottery. One of the heroic NPCs and special NPCs under his command will be randomly selected to join his own camp permanently.

    These NPCs who are permanently added to the faction can be brought into the next game. Even if you hang up in the next game, you will only temporarily lose your combat effectiveness, and you can continue to use it in the next game.

    In other words, if the player can win consecutive victories, a powerful army can be formed!

    However, in each Death game, there will be at most one winner. At the end of the time limit for each round, the game will be forcibly ended even if there is no winner. So this game has been tested so far, and there are actually only a few players who can get the chance to win the lottery.

    ...

    After Crazy Yiwen and the girl had eaten, Lin Chi led the two back to the door of Greek''s stronghold and knocked on the door rhythmically.

    "Oh, it''s you..."

    Greek opened the door and saw Lin Chi''s face. He just breathed a sigh of relief. Then he noticed the "Plague God" behind Lin Chi and his expression instantly became solemn: "Can this b*****d stay away from me?"

    "I won''t blow you up." Crazy Yiwen promised vowedly.

    "Then how did my original office building collapse?" Greek frowned.

    "It''s just an accident." Crazy Evan laughed.

    Seeing Greek''s face of bitterness and hatred, Lin Chi quickly explained: "Don''t be arguing, I''m here this time, I have a few questions I plan to ask."

    "What''s the problem? You have to pay to get information from me." Greek turned his gaze to him.

    "To be precise, it is about the gang in Beicheng District." Lin Chi went straight to the topic: "Are you a member of the gang?"

    "Of course not. How could I be mingling with the gangsters of the''Lions Gang'', Daddy is a free businessman." Greek said with a certainty.

    "Then do you know where the gang''s treasury is?" Lin Chi asked.

    "I heard it''s on Field Street, what do you want to do?" Greek''s eyes sharpened, he was obviously aware of Lin Chi''s meaning.

    "You understand." Lin Chi raised his hand and made a money counting gesture.

    "It''s crazy to rob their vaults." Greek lowered his voice: "The Lions Gang has hired very powerful guards, and you probably will never get back!"

    "What powerful guard?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

    "I don''t know who it is, but the Silver Shield Company once sent five fearless fighters to rob the lion gang''s vault. Guess what? Those five fearless fighters never came back." Greek said in his voice. A little fear.

    It sounds like the difficulty of robbing the gang''s vault has increased a lot. However, Lin Chi did not give up the plan, just changed the topic:

    "Do you want to join?"

    "Huh?" Greek frowned and stared at him.

    "Our current start-up funds are not enough, and we still need some ¡®sponsorship¡¯ to implement the plan." Lin Chi smiled and said, "If you join, after the robbery is successful, we will give you a 10% share, how about?"

    "Twenty percent," Greg said through gritted teeth.

    "Just 10%. If I don''t want to, I''ll do it alone." Lin Chi made no concessions.

    As soon as these words came out, Greek was silent again, and after thinking about it for a while he nodded helplessly: "Then it''s 10%, it''s not a lot..."

    Seeing that the other party had agreed, Lin Chi immediately went straight to the topic: "I need the specific location of the vault. If you have a map, it''s best. In addition, prepare some flash bombs and a mask. I need to cover my face."

    Gek nodded immediately, and asked again: "Would you like knit hoods or stockings?"

    "Thank you for good breathability."

    Lin Chi said that he summoned seven elite mercenaries under his command, led all his subordinates, walked into Greck''s humble office, and began to discuss this battle plan.

    ¡ª¡ªHe knows that the "powerful guard" that Greek said is not just a hero-level NPC.

    After all, the Fearless Warrior was also a hero-level NPC, but that guy killed five Fearless Warriors. In this way, the mysterious guard is probably hidden in the chaotic city and no one has ever discovered...

    "Maybe there is a BOSS battle?"

    Realizing that he is likely to face a boss, Lin Chi, who prefers to challenge a strong enemy to abusive food, can''t wait.

 Chapter 35-Intercepting Mission-3

    Forty minutes later, Field Street in Beicheng District welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

    An old white van was parked into the alley on the side of the road. The three men and a girl in the car got out of the car sneakily and opened the trunk to check the various equipment inside.

    "The lion gang''s vault is in that building." Greek pointed his finger at the double storey across the street: "I don''t know exactly where it is."

    Lin Chi stared at the warehouse that seemed to have been abandoned. The exterior wall of the building was covered with moss and creepers, and it didn''t look like it was inhabited.

    Is that mysterious "BOSS" hiding in this building, guarding the gang''s vault?

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi summoned his subordinate mercenaries, sent two people to investigate the surroundings of the warehouse, and then picked up the FN57 pistol provided by Greck in the trunk and fitted with a silencer, and handed it to the newly dressed FN57 pistol.

    Girl, took out two more magazines and handed them to her.

    "Aren''t you afraid that I would kill you?" The girl shook her pistol in front of Lin Chi''s eyes.

    "I react faster than you." Lin Chi patted her thin shoulder: "Moreover, I think you should have made a choice."

    When persuading the girl to take part in the action, Lin Chi proposed to pay her 10,000 U.S. dollars after success. For girls struggling to survive in slums, this price is unbelievable.

    "..."

    The girl was silent for a moment, put the pistol in her jacket pocket, and whispered: "I... won''t go back to the garbage dump again."

    "I understand." Lin Chi smiled.

    While talking, the two mercenaries who were in charge of the investigation came back and reported to Lin Chi the guard position outside the warehouse.

    "Can''t you blow up this building directly?" Crazy Ivan asked impatiently.

    "Do you want to blow the money to pieces?" Lin Chi decisively rejected his proposal. Without knowing where the treasury was, it was too risky to use the bomb rashly.

    "The mercenary solved the four people behind the warehouse, assigned the target in advance, and listened to my instructions while doing it."

    Lin Chi pointed his finger at his ear.

    If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

    For this operation, they also obtained the latest model of military portable communication device under the "sponsorship" of Greck.

    "Received." The seven mercenaries disappeared into the shadows behind the alley like ghosts.

    "Um...you go and kill the three people at the door." Lin Chi said to the girl.

    Hearing this, Greek and Crazy Evan next to them were both taken aback, and immediately cast distrustful glances at Lin Chi.

    "Let this little girl kill the three men? Are you kidding me?" Greek pointed his finger at the girl''s white face: "If it fails, wouldn''t the equipment I provided to you be wasted..."

    "I just want to see her combat effectiveness." Lin Chi smiled and asked the girl seriously: "Can it be done?"

    "Yes." The girl nodded without hesitation.

    Hearing this, Lin Chi nodded and issued an order to the mercenaries through the throat microphone:

    "The action begins."

    Following his order, accompanied by four weak and inaudible sounds, the four gang members patrolling the back of the warehouse fell helplessly to the ground at the same moment, blood gurgling from the wound on their head.

    The elite mercenaries used silencing guns for long-distance shooting, and the four of them were quietly resolved in an instant. The three guards standing at the front door of the warehouse didn''t notice the strangeness, but continued to patrol casually holding submachine guns.

    Then, they noticed a young girl who didn''t look like a slum dweller, walking towards the front door of the warehouse.

    When he saw the girl, one of the gang members blew a whistle.

    ¡ª¡ªThat was a girl with a petite figure and fair complexion.

    Her light green eyes looked around blankly, and her dark brown curly hair was gently scattered behind her.

    She is wearing a white short top, matching a pink pleated skirt, and shiny long leather boots.

    It looks very expensive at first glance.

    "Whose big Miss is this?" One of the gang members rubbed their hands, and the face under the purple hood showed a malicious smile.

    The girl walked up to the three of them, as if she was a little scared, she was silent for a while before she cowered and said:

    "Um...I and my family are separated, have you seen their car?"

    "What car? Let me see what price you should charge your parents when kidnapping you." One of the gang members made a joke, which caused the two companions around him to laugh.

    "Hey, girl, you came to the wrong place..."

    A gang member said that he came forward, and when he was about to grab the girl''s collar, his body suddenly stiffened, and the whole figure stopped in place like a sculpture.

    "What''s wrong?"

    The other two came forward and immediately saw the knife stuck in the man''s chest. Before they even had time to react, they saw the girl pulling out a pistol at lightning speed¡ª¡ª

    Even with the addition of a silencer, the close-range shooting of the FN57 pistol is enough to kill them instantly!

    Confirming that all three of them are dead, the girl bent down and put the pistol back into the holster, then turned her head, and smiled triumphantly at the stunned Greck and Crazy Evan in the alley.

    Seeing her solve the goal so smoothly, Lin Chi was also a little surprised.

    In fact, he was ready to rush out to "make up the knife" at any time when the girl missed. But I didn''t expect her combat power to be much stronger than I thought.

    ¡ª¡ªIt seems that own has indeed picked up good things.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi laughed out loud, and said to the stunned Geek beside him: "Send your people out."

    "Huh? Oh, I see..."

    Greek, who was awake like a dream, took out his cell phone and made a call. Ten seconds later, three ordinary mercenaries who had been hiding on the street rushed to the front of the warehouse and searched for the bodies of the gang members. The key to the front door.

    Naturally, Lin Chi wouldn''t be so stupid that he rushed into the warehouse to die, and these three mercenaries were the pathfinder fodder provided by Greek.

    The collars of these three people are equipped with hidden miniature cameras, which can take real-time pictures of the conditions inside the warehouse.

    Seeing that they had opened the door and entered the warehouse, Lin Chi took out a laptop from the trunk of the van and began to observe the "live broadcast" picture sent by the three on the screen.

    What appeared in the picture was pitch black. Because the windows on both sides were blocked by heavy dark curtains, the warehouse was almost out of sight.

    "Enable the tactical flashlight." One of the mercenaries'' voice sounded from the darkness.

    No one responded.

    "Um?"

    Realizing that something was not right, Lin Chi frowned.

    There was a thump, like the sound of someone falling to the ground, followed by a hoarse and desperate scream. And the screams only appeared in less than five seconds and then disappeared!

    Then came the voice of a middle-aged man with a hint of ridicule:

    "Someone came here again... I''m so happy."

    Then, the signals of the three cameras were interrupted at the same time.

    "Damn, what''s the situation?" Greek scolded a little depressedly. As a "human resources businessman", he never expected that the three fairly reliable mercenaries he sent would even have the opportunity to fight back. No, I was killed directly!

    "Prepare the night vision goggles." Lin Chi said, standing up and turning off the laptop: "I will meet them when I go in."

 Chapter 36-Burning Shield

    As soon as this word came out, Greek immediately shouted: "You want to go in by yourself? It''s crazy..."

    "What else can I do if I don''t go in by myself, and send my subordinates to die?" Lin Chi said as he took out his ownP210 pistol and carbon steel saber, and weighed them in his hands.

    Although his mouth was very "righteous and awe-inspiring", the uncontrollable smile on his face and the invisible "flame" that seemed to be burning in his eyes revealed the fact that he was very excited.

    "You seem to have changed..." Crazy Evan stared at Lin Chi''s face.

    ¡ª¡ªThe man who always looks decadent on weekdays, who looks like he might fall asleep at any time, disappears. Instead, there is a "hot-blooded male protagonist" who seems a little excited.

    As for the reason, it couldn''t be simpler:

    ¡ª¡ªIn Lin Chi''s opinion, there is no fun in slinging rookie. Only challenging a strong opponent is the real meaning of the game!

    Seeing that he was already eager to try, Greek tentatively made his opinion: "The warehouse is a closed space, we can throw tear gas in it."

    "It''s useless. The man''s voice was dull just now. He should be wearing a gas mask." Lin Chi immediately rejected the other party''s proposal: "Moreover, if the smoke blocks the line of sight, it will become more troublesome."

    ¡ª¡ªIf the workshop has been built and high-tech equipment has been developed, maybe you can use those equipment to sling the boss in the warehouse, but Lin Chi does not intend to wait any longer, but intends to break in immediately.

    According to the introduction in the game, the City of Chaos belongs to a medium-sized map.

    There are only four bosses in the entire map.

    If all four bosses are killed, the final boss will be unlocked.

    And when the dominance points reach 1000, kill the final BOSS, you can complete the winning conditions of "Raiders Madness" and win the game.

    In the game, BOSS can be regarded as a very rare existence, and the rewards after killing should also be very generous. Lin Chi knew that if he didn''t hurry up, another big battle would erupt when the BOSS was discovered by other players. and¡­¡­

    "I need money now." Lin Chi said and touched the scabbard of the saber: "Don''t worry, I am a professional."

    "Professional robber?" Greck glanced at him.

    "You''ll find out later." Lin didn''t have the time to chat with the AI, just clenched his saber and strode towards the front door of the warehouse.

    A pair of binocular night vision goggles purchased by Greck, placed on Lin Chi''s forehead-in order to make this robbery mission successful, the mercenary intermediary merchant also spent the money.

    When she passed by the girl, the girl lowered her head slightly and said, "Good luck."

    "I have always been lucky."

    Once invited to play mobile games at the invitation of team members, Lin Chi, who was nicknamed the "African Leader" by his teammates, opened the door of the warehouse without any embarrassment.

    As soon as he entered the warehouse, a bloody smell came upon his face. Lin Chi put on the night vision goggles, and the picture in his field of vision suddenly turned green.

    I saw the three mercenaries just now collapsed less than ten meters away from the warehouse gate. All three of them became headless corpses, dripping with blood on the concrete floor.

    Lin Chi frowned slightly, drew out the carbon steel saber and held it in front of his chest.

    It seems that the guy hiding in this large warehouse should be very good at close combat. And it''s not like a person, it''s more like a squad acting at the same time, killing three mercenaries simultaneously.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi, who was still standing in front of the warehouse, looked around and looked at the situation inside the warehouse:Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

    The internal space of this warehouse is very large. There are a lot of discarded equipment and sundries in it, but there is no trace of a large safe. In addition to the stairs leading to the second floor, there is also an entrance leading down, which should lead to the basement.

    The disorderly layout in the warehouse blocked Lin Chi''s vision. He could feel that someone was hiding in this old warehouse, waiting for him to "surrender himself".

    "It''s weird..." he whispered.

    It stands to reason that when entering the BOSS battle field, the system should pop up a prompt. But he didn''t see any prompts, nor did he see any BOSS health bars or names.

    Could it be a BOSS battle with an open map? If this is the case, it should not be set up in the warehouse...

    Realizing that something is not quite right, Lin Chi clenched the handle of the knife and watched the surroundings vigilantly.

    Then, a faint noise came from the top of the head.

    When he heard the sound, Lin Chi suddenly raised his head. Before he saw anyone, he felt the bloody air flow behind him¡ª¡ª

    Click!

    A silver light flashed from Lin Chi''s throat, and after his throat was cut, he knelt down, clutching his neck.

    "Ha, another one is here to die!"

    The middle-aged man made a dull voice. This guy in a black combat uniform and a mask, who looked like a special forces soldier, dropped from the ceiling of the warehouse, unhooked his rope, and walked. Bend down next to Lin Chi.

    "Huh? Why didn''t it bleed?"

    Before the man in black had finished speaking, the carbon steel saber had already pierced his heart. Lin Chi didn''t even have time to pull out his saber, and his whole body seemed to be teleporting, holding the body of the black-clothed man at the fastest speed and hiding behind the body!

    After a few soft sounds of "pupu", the bullet shot from diagonally forward penetrated the body of the black-clothed man, hit Lin Chi''s chest, and was blocked by his body armor with ceramic inserts. Did not cause any harm!

    "Ha, I knew it was like this."

    As Lin Chi dragged the corpse back to the door, he reached out and touched the metal ring on his neck that looked like a collar.

    Even if Lin Chi hadn''t seen the scene when the three mercenaries were killed, he could recognize it by just listening to the sound, that the three mercenaries should have been cut and killed.

    Because of this, before entering the warehouse, he deliberately borrowed a metal neck guard from Greck that could prevent his throat from being cut by a saber.

    As expected, this neck protector really came in handy. Moreover, the first floor of this warehouse should not be the venue for boss battles, but...

    The enemy hidden in the warehouse was still firing, Lin Chi asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

    "The location has been confirmed." The cold voice of the elite mercenary sounded from the headset.

    Wow!

    Several windows on the first floor of the warehouse suddenly shattered, and the mercenaries fired precision shots from the roof of the nearby building and killed the other two enemies hiding in the warehouse.

    ¡ª¡ªEven if they have just been able to hide their own position, once they shoot, they can''t hide it anymore!

    "Confirm that the enemy has been killed." An elite mercenary said.

    "Thanks."

    While talking, Lin Chi had already dragged the enemy''s body out of the warehouse, and pulled off the other''s headgear, revealing a gray and beard face.

    Looks like this person¡¯s equipment looks like a typical special force, and he doesn¡¯t have any identification documents, but...

    "What sign is this?" Lin Chi pointed to the red shield armband on the shoulder of the corpse''s combat uniform.

    The pattern on the armband looks a bit similar to the armband of the Silver Shield Security Company. The difference from the Silver Shield is that the shield is broken and there is still a ray of flame hanging on it.

    Seeing this armband, while acting as a mercenary agent, Greck, who is also a part-time intelligence businessman, thought for a while: "I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can''t remember it anymore."

    After speaking, he seemed to suddenly remembered something, took out the tablet and quickly began to look up the information. A minute later, Greek''s complexion suddenly became serious:

    "I know where these people came from..." he whispered.

    "Who are they?" Lin Chi asked immediately.

    "The''Silver Shield'' used to secretly set up a special force in order to expel the Lions gang.

    This force is composed of veterans and mercenaries from all over the world.

    They are all murderous, bloody and debt-laden.

    They don''t even remember that they killed themselves.

    How many people are crazy."

    Greck said in a very quick voice.

    "What then?" The curiosity of the girl standing aside was also aroused.

    "Just two days after these murderers arrived in the City of Chaos, they betrayed the Silver Shield and slaughtered dozens of Silver Shield''s security guards, and then disappeared."

    Having said this, Greek looked at the armband with furrowed brows: "This logo is the badge of the team. It seems that they should have joined the Lions Gang..."

    As soon as Greek finished speaking, Lin Chi saw the lower right corner of own''s field of vision, and finally a game prompt popped up:

    ¡ª¡ªThe pre-task has been completed, and the BOSS battle "Burning Shield" has been triggered!

    The "Burning Shield", a special operations team that defected from the Silver Shield Security Company, has been hired by the Lions Gang to guard the vault of the Lions Gang.

    These unblinking terrorist soldiers are hiding in the basement level of the warehouse, waiting for any thieves who dare to come in and die.

    When you enter the basement level of the warehouse, you will automatically enter the BOSS battle. Please note that once the boss is triggered, you will not be able to leave the battlefield until one of the parties is completely eliminated.

 Chapter 37 BOSS Battle: Burning Shield-1

    The basement level of the warehouse is converted from air-raid shelters, which is much larger than the building area above.

    In this intricate "dungeon" full of shelves and large machines, dozens of incandescent lamps on the ceiling are on 24 hours a day, reflecting the gloomy labyrinth below.

    The huge safe containing a large amount of funds from the Lions Gang was embedded in the innermost wall of the basement floor, and the dark cabinet door flashed a sharp cold light under the light.

    Unlike ordinary safes, this safe is not even locked, and it is full of stacks of banknotes.

    Although it looks like it is easy to break. But apart from the gang members of the Lions gang in charge of finances, no thieves who even sneaked into this place could see the metal door of the safe alive!

    As for why this is the case, it is precisely because it is not only the safe that is hidden in the underground floor, but also the terrorist army that is responsible for protecting it.

    ¡ª¡ªThirty soldiers in black combat uniforms were scattered in various positions of the underground warehouse, guarding a safe full of cash.

    These madmen who once killed people on the battlefield have lost interest in most things including money. They have only one hobby, and that is the carnage of carnage!

    After killing dozens of people from the Silver Shield Security Company, this special force named "Burning Shield", after being hunted by Silver Shield, had to escape to Beicheng District to join the Lions Gang. It was not only easy to find one, And it can kill people.

    Under their crazy protection, the security of the Lion Gang¡¯s secret vault even surpasses that of heavily guarded military bases.

    In order to find opportunities to kill people, the burning shield sometimes even deliberately reveals the location of the vault, attracting bold thieves to come and die.

    Since no one has come here recently, this special force stationed underground is also in a relatively boring state.

    But today, their long-awaited "guest" finally arrived:

    "The three idiots above are dead!"

    With the help of cameras installed on the first floor of the warehouse, the underground soldiers saw the fighting erupting on the first floor of the warehouse. They were a little listless, but they suddenly became excited:

    The person who can kill the three soldiers in the warehouse has not appeared for a long time!

    These soldiers, who were set to suffer from severe mental illness, did not even feel a bit sad for the Death of their comrades, but happily began to check their weapons and prepare to deal with the coming enemy.

    Most of them have the same attire as the three soldiers above.

    They are wearing black tight-fitting combat uniforms.

    They are covered with all kinds of weapons.

    Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.

    On their heads, they can switch between night vision and thermal imaging modes.

    The functional eyepiece is like a walking living killing machine.

    However, two of them dress differently.

    "Enter the bunker, start the automatic machine gun, don''t get too excited."

    A tall man wearing a gray coat calmly gave instructions to the other soldiers, holding a MP5K submachine gun with a silver shell in his hand, and hanging around his waist several bullet belts that were obviously not used by submachine guns.

    This person''s face looks only about thirty years old, but his hair is already grey. A few hideous scars on his face, like a medal, showed his "great achievements" on the battlefield.

    In the air next to his body, a scarlet skull mark appeared, and next to it were a few lines of text introducing his identity:

    "Holy Sword" Hall, a hero-level character (leader-level), cannot be recruited.

    "''Holy Sword'' is a retired member of the Delta Force.

    He has participated in the famous''Black Hawk Down'' incident.

    He is famous for being able to come back alive under any circumstances and always remain calm.

    It is said that he once witnessed it with a blank face.

    Own¡¯s wife and children died tragically, but after that, his original blonde hair turned white."

    Hall checked the own submachine gun, and after loading the ammunition, he continued to give instructions:

    "Afterimages, you guard the door on the left, Team Alpha guards the right, hand the automatic machine gun in the middle, remember not to keep alive."

    "Understood."

    The person called "afterimage" is a man who also wears black clothes but does not cover his face like others.

    His face is covered with black oil paint, although his body tone is not the same as the warehouse tone.

    But there is a subtle sense of ambiguity.

    It seems to disappear from other people''s eyes at any time.

    Like Hall, this person is also hung with a skull mark and a few lines of text introduction:

    "Remnant Shadow", a hero-level character (boss-level), cannot be recruited.

    "It is said that''Remnant Image'' comes from the Special Operations Command (SOCOM).

    He once joined Task Force 141 and fought alongside the famous Captain Price and''Soap''.

    After Task Force 141 was disbanded, this person became mysterious.

    Disappeared.

    Until someone witnessed a ghostly killer in the city of chaos¡ªof course, those witnesses were already dead."

    The afterimage didn''t say much, but quietly walked to the shadow next to the iron gate, pulled out a short saber and held it in front of him, and stopped own breathing in a short time, like a corpse hidden in the dark. , And blend with the shadows around you.

    Under the leadership of these two "BOSS", the other more than 20 soldiers also found shelters and were ready to meet the enemy.

    The automatic machine gun facing the middle door has been activated. As long as it senses any living thing in front of the door, it will activate within 0.5 seconds, blasting the opponent to pieces!

    But what the soldiers of "Burning Shield" didn''t expect was that the enemy didn''t honestly come in through the door this time.

    boom!

    There was a dull loud noise from the ceiling, steel and concrete poured down, and the two soldiers directly below had no time to dodge and disappeared in the smoke of the explosion.

    Even Hall did not expect that the enemy could actually blast through the ceiling enough to withstand an air attack, but the experienced soldier did not hesitate and immediately ordered: "Squad No. 2 aims at the ceiling and guards against the enemy above!"

    It''s a pity that the few soldiers who were stunned by the explosion did not react as fast as Hall.

    After a burst of gunshots, the three soldiers in black convulsed and fell down. The smoke has not dissipated, and a few ropes have dropped in the big hole in the ceiling.

    Seeing that someone was about to use a rope to descend from the ceiling, Hall led the four soldiers around him rushing to fill his seat. At this moment, the iron gate on the left that was guarded by "Remnant Shadow" was suddenly kicked open.

    "GOGOGO! Kill them all!"

    Accompanied by a rough male voice, seven elite mercenaries rushed into the house from the side door, and fired at the black-clothed soldiers in view. The soldiers who had beaten the "burning shield" backed back and hid inside the basement.

    But they did not notice that the dark shadow that had been hidden by the door--

    Click!

    "Afterimage" appeared like a ghost, and cut the throats of the two before the elite mercenaries could react!

    Elite mercenaries react very quickly, turning their muzzles to aim while retreating. But the terrifying killer has disappeared without a trace.

    "Damn it!"

    Seeing the tragic death of two teammates in front of them, the mood of the remaining five elite mercenaries was a little unstable. At this moment, a man who came up from behind them whispered:

    "Complete the task first. You must get the money this time... No, you must kill them all."

    In order to own the commission, Greek, as an intermediary businessman, also personally joined the battle.

    Although his outfit is still the usual jacket and jeans, and he wears a cowboy hat on his head, he doesn''t look like a combatant. But the combat power of this special NPC is even stronger than the elite mercenaries around him!

    Gek''s dressing and dressing are actually imitating the style of the "Master" who once taught him marksmanship. As for who his Master is, just look at his fighting style, and it''s clear at a glance:

    Steadily walking into the chaotic battlefield, Greek did not immediately draw his gun, but just pressed the revolver holster hung on the belt with his right hand, and made a slow and steady voice:

    "It''s noon."

    His sight was cruising at a terrifying speed, and quickly locked on the four enemies in the field of vision. Before the four shots, Greek''s right hand suddenly pulled out the revolver at the speed of "single for thirty years", and opened it in an instant. Four shots!

    "..."

    Seeing that all four soldiers in black clothes had their heads shattered, the elite mercenaries next to them were all surprised and asked, "Where did you learn this trick?"

    "secret."

    Geek said to load the revolver with bullets and strode into the basement.

 Chapter 38 BOSS Battle: Burning Shield-2

    "Can''t you keep the front door?"

    Realizing the heavy casualties of the soldiers at the front door, Hall left the four soldiers beside him and continued to guard the hole in the ceiling, while he rushed to the front of the warehouse.

    "Boom!"

    With a dull loud noise, the ground began to tremble slightly, and a bloated human-shaped shadow appeared in the smoke.

    "This is¡­¡­"

    Hall stopped, and when he saw the shadow, he immediately recognized what it was.

    "It''s a fearless warrior, you first withdraw!" he roared.

    ¡ª¡ªTo deal with fearless warriors, ordinary firearms have no effect. Only by using a rocket launcher can you kill these big guys in heavy armor!

    Under Hall''s command, the Burning Shield once killed five fearless fighters. But this time, in a critical situation, the other soldiers burning the shield did not obey Hall''s orders, but subconsciously raised the M16 in his hand and fired at the fearless soldier standing in the smoke!

    boom!

    The terrible roar sounded again, and Hall was blown five meters away by the shock wave of the explosion, and he slammed into the wall and coughed up blood. The soldiers near the Fearless Warrior were blown into bloody fragments in the explosion.

    The body of the fearless soldier who jumped from the gap exploded at the moment of being shot!

    "Damn...Is the bomb tied to the armor..."

    Realizing that he was hit, Hall grabbed his stomach and got up, turning his head decisively to escape.

    Before he ran two steps, he suddenly shot a few bullets from the direction of the exploding smoke screen.

    After a rush of gunshots, Hall, who was shot three times, still adhered to the characteristic of "you can come back alive no matter what battlefield you are on", dragging his injured body tenaciously away.

    Seeing Hall had escaped, the armor of the fearless warrior still standing in the smoke screen slowly moved a step forward. A certain man took off the heavy armor that had been blown out of his body with great effort. After he walked out of the smoke screen, it finally grew. Take a long sigh.

    "Next time I won''t blow myself up again." Lin Chi smiled.

    Lin Chi himself jumped off wearing the armor of a fearless warrior with bombs strapped to his body.

    The big hole on the chest of the armor was not repaired, but was temporarily filled with bulletproof ceramic inserts.

    After the big explosion just now, those ceramic plates were also destroyed again and almost inserted into his heart!

    Because of his strength points, he was not yet able to move flexibly in battle armor. After completing the "suicide attack", Lin Chi also decisively took off his armor and walked out, quickly hiding behind a heavy machine next to him. , Observe the chaotic situation in the battlefield.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

    ¡ª¡ªThe elite mercenaries and Greek who attacked from the side door have already shot ten soldiers of the Burning Shield, plus the few that he killed just now. There should be less than half of the remaining Burning Shield soldiers in the underground warehouse. . but¡­¡­

    Those two boss-level guys are still alive.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi threw away the MP7 that had been shot out in his hand, replaced it with his own P210 pistol, and chased him in the direction of Hall''s escape.

    Due to the low proficiency of the submachine gun, I only shot three shots when I ran out a magazine just now. But after changing into the pistol this time, I shouldn''t miss it again!

    Where Hall left, there were obvious blood stains on the ground. Lin Chi rushed over quickly, and just came to a shelf full of metal blocks, but suddenly stopped.

    ¡ª¡ªAlthough it looks like it was left from the escape, the blood stain is a bit wrong. To be precise, it should be too deliberate.

    As a retired special soldier with countless murders, Hall, a "leader-level NPC", shouldn''t make such obvious mistakes, at least he would forcefully stop the bleeding.

    The blood on the ground now seemed to be telling myself to "hurry up and follow up".

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi was about to pull out his saber when he felt an incredible sense of horror and oppression coming from behind!

    "Die."

    He turned his head abruptly, and immediately saw the pitch-black "after-image" rushing in front of him, and a silver light pierced his heart unambiguously!

    Between the lightning and flint, Lin Chi relied on the terrifying reaction speed of the professional player, and his body moved like a godly aid, and he jumped back a step to avoid the "after-shadow" killing blow.

    boom!

    There was a gunshot behind him, his waist became hot, and a trace of blood dripped from the wound.

    "Is it really okay for two to fight one?" Lin Chi ignored Hall who was shooting at him behind him, and drew his saber and approached the afterimage of the posture of fighting the sword.

    He knew that Hall had been shot in the right arm just now, and now it was the limit to be able to shoot. In the current situation, the threat of afterimages is still greater.

    This oil-painted killer BOSS has almost reached an unmatched Realm in melee combat. Even the "Knife King" he encountered before can''t be compared with the afterimage!

    However, this kind of enemy... is what Lin Chi wants to see!

    clang!

    The blades of the two sabers collided together, bursting out dazzling sparks, and the two extremely powerful melee masters launched a frantic duel in the center of the underground warehouse.

    At this time, the battle on the other side of the warehouse had entered the second half.

    "Hahahahaha!"

    Crazy Ivan rushed into the enemy line with a frantic laugh, and used a bomb to blow up two Burning Shield soldiers and the automatic machine gun next to the soldier. Even though these soldiers are not blinking, they still seem too "weak" in the face of frenzied bomb experts...

    What''s more, there is a certain "cowboy" who is really familiar with McRae to help.

    The revolver in Greek''s hand would shatter the head of a Burning Shield soldier with every shot. For the share of own, this intermediary businessman who doesn''t usually play in person is also a rare occurrence this time.

    "The money from the Lions Gang...is mine!"

    Gek roared and swung his revolver, using the cowboy''s high-speed shooting stunt. He drew his gun and fired three bullets in 0.5 seconds. A Burning Shield soldier who had just probed had three bullet holes in his forehead.

    Under the violent tactics of these two men, the five elite mercenaries recruited by Lin Chi did not even find many opportunities to shoot.

    In a blink of an eye, the burning shield soldiers in the front half of the warehouse were about to be cleaned up!

    However, it was the battle on Lin Chi''s side that came to an end first.

    "Uh¡­¡­"

    The legendary assassin "Remnant Shadow" knelt to the ground with his hands covering his bloody throat, making a hoarse voice:

    "I will not¡­¡­"

    "You''re already a dog, don''t talk about it anymore." Lin Chi turned around and threw out the saber, which pierced Hall''s chest.

    As the two bosses were killed, a system prompt appeared in his field of vision again:

    The BOSS battle "Burning Shield" has ended, and it took three minutes and twenty seconds.

    Congratulations to the player "Reverse" for refreshing the fastest kill record for this BOSS! You get the achievement "The special forces can no longer stop me!" unlock the new passive skill "Saber Specialization".

    Sabre Specialization (Passive Skills): You killed two leader-level characters with a saber, and the saber fighting skills are unmatched! The minimum agility required by the saber is reduced by five points, and at the same time, the skill effect of any saber can be activated regardless of the agility.

    "Ha, that knife finally works." Lin Chi smiled.

    ¡ª¡ªThe hunting knife I snatched from the Sword Sovereign was originally not used because of insufficient agility. After acquiring this passive skill, it finally came in handy.

    The gunshots at the other end of the warehouse are also becoming rarer, and the battle must be over soon.

    Lin Chi, who was relieved of the fighting power of those guys, didn''t come to help, nor immediately opened the safe to search for cash. Instead, he squatted down next to the afterimage''s corpse and began the routine post-battle work of "scraping the corpse".

    "Huh? What is this?"

    After searching the corpse of the afterimage, he did not find any equipment such as a saber, but took out a small card glowing with purple light from his pocket.

    While getting the card, the item introduction popped out in due course:

    Silver Shield Security Company ID card.

    Consumables.

    Item level: Epic.

    When you get the Wanted Index in the Chaos City map, use this ID card to immediately reduce your Wanted Index to 0. The ID card can be used four times.

    "After Shadows sneaked into the Silver Shield Security Company to kill people, they used this ID card. Although the people at Silver Shield are stupid, they are not completely mentally retarded. So, you can fool them with this thing up to four times."

 Chapter 39-Time for Trophy

    When the body of the last Burning Shield soldier fell to the ground, less than five minutes had passed since the start of the BOSS battle.

    Lin Chi could tell that perhaps because it is a group boss, the individual combat effectiveness of the "Burning Shield" is actually not too high. There is no need to fight at all.

    ¡ª¡ªExcept for Hall and Afterimage, the other two dozen soldiers were basically only slightly stronger in combat power than elite mercenaries. Under the attack of Crazy Ivan and Grek, they were quickly defeated.

    As for the two most troublesome leader-level characters, they were taken care of by Lin Chi himself and dealt with them neatly!

    However, even though it sounds easy, Lin Chi did not solve the battle unharmed as before:

    "Are you OK?"

    Greek walked over and looked at the bleeding wound on Lin Chi''s waist. His complexion suddenly became serious: "Did this shot hit the kidney?"

    "It''s okay." Lin Chi said as he took out a roll of bandage he gave at the beginning of the game from his backpack, and began to bandage his own wound.

    In addition to a shot in the waist, there were also several stab wounds on his shoulder and arm. In the face of a close combat expert at the level of "Remnant Shadow", even he could not be unharmed.

    However, the loss of only two elite mercenaries and the successful annihilation of all members of the "Burning Shield" can already be said to be a huge profit!

    Bandaging wounds in the game is much simpler than in the real world. There is no need to care about steps such as disinfection. You only need to tie the wound with a bandage, and the process of automatic recovery will begin.

    Of course, if you have a broken bone or a serious injury, you still need to find a doctor for treatment, otherwise a negative effect called "disability" will appear on the body, making the injured part unable to exert force.

    After handling the wound casually, Lin Chi waved his hand to disband the elite mercenaries and began to look for the spoils of the battle.

    Opening the large, unlocked safe inside the warehouse, I saw that there were dozens of stacks of banknotes neatly stacked. Lin Chi counted it roughly, it should be 300,000 US dollars.

    "The Lions Gang seems to be spending a lot recently." He frowned slightly.

    In fact, Lin Chi knows very well that from the perspective of a game designer, it is indeed impossible to put too much money in this vault.

    If the amount of reward cash is too large, if you kill the player of this BOSS, you will immediately gain an overwhelming advantage and crush other players in the game.

    Although the money in the vault is not as much as imagined, the 300,000 US dollars is considered a huge sum of money for him who is currently embarrassed in his pocket.

    But Greek, who has been looking forward to "getting rich", has obviously lost his dream...

    "Damn it, that''s the money?" The pale cowboy looked inside the safe, tried to find the secret door inside, but found nothing.

    "Fortunately, you should recover the cost," Lin Chi said as he took out three stacks of banknotes and threw them to Greek: "Your share."Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

    "Damn, I spent 20,000 yuan just to buy equipment for you..."

    Greek complained, but there was still a smile on his face. Obviously, he did not spend as much money in preparation for this operation as he said.

    The brown-haired girl in a pleated skirt came up and asked in a low voice: "That... my share..."

    She did not join the BOSS battle just now, but she still witnessed the battle in the warehouse in front of the door. After seeing Lin Chi''s brutal warfare, the girl''s attitude towards him suddenly became much more "gentle".

    "Oh, I almost forgot."

    Lin Chi handed a wad of banknotes to the girl, then turned to the only crazy Ivan who was standing behind him, who didn''t get any income, and asked, "Do you need payment?"

    He thought that Crazy Ivan would also ask for money, but the other party decisively shook his head and refused:

    "What''s the use of money? As long as I can continue to follow you! It seems like I can be very happy to follow you!"

    "All right."

    Realizing that Crazy Ivan wanted only to explode, Lin Chi didn''t force him the money, just opened his briefcase and threw all the remaining 260,000 dollars in the vault into his backpack.

    In this way, there is no need to worry about funding for the time being. And besides that, BOSS should have dropped other things.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi went back to Hall''s corpse that hadn''t had time to examine just now, pulled out the saber from the opponent''s chest, rubbed the blood stains on the guy''s coat, and inserted it back into the scabbard, then began to search for the trophies on the person''s body.

    Like the afterimage, Hall did not drop valuable weapons and equipment. Lin Chi fumbled for a while, and from the opponent''s chest pocket, he took out the key that flashed purple:

    "Holy Sword" Hall''s safe key.

    Consumables.

    Item level: Epic.

    After finding Hall¡¯s safe, you can use this key to unlock it.

    "As the leader of the Burning Shield, Hall is not as crazy as other soldiers. He found some good things in the underground warehouse of the Lions Gang and hid them in his personal safe."

    After putting the key in the backpack, Lin Chi searched Hall again, and finally found a folded city map in a pocket inside the guy''s shirt.

    When I opened the map, I saw a red circle on the outskirts of Xicheng District on the map, and the five numbers "31720" were written in a red pen next to it.

    Seeing this mark, Lin Chi called Geek over, who was still counting money, and asked, "Is there anything here?"

    "This place was originally a residential area, but it was demolished to build a military base." Greek asked in confusion, "What''s wrong?"

    "It''s okay." Lin Chi said as he put away the map and put it in his backpack.

    It seems that "Paradise of War" is more than just a killing game, there are even puzzle-solving elements in the game, but this kind of puzzles that directly give hints is much simpler than those puzzle-solving games.

    After checking the other things in the warehouse again, after confirming that there were no items that could be plundered, Lin Chi took a few other NPCs to the door of the underground warehouse. Before leaving, he did not forget to take one from a burning shield soldier. Put the SIG-P226 pistol.

    The four of them walked up the stairs quickly and returned to the first floor of the warehouse. Before they could walk out of the door, a large shadow suddenly appeared in front of the door:

    "Um?"

    Seeing a group of city guards wearing black trench coats blocking the front entrance of the warehouse, Lin Chi''s complexion sank, and Greek next to him was slightly retreated a few steps:

    "It''s the people of Silver Shield, why are they here?"

    Greek said he was about to draw his gun, but Lin Chi stopped him.

    Facing the large number of members of the Silver Shield Security Company in front of the warehouse, Lin Chi did not back down, but said loudly, "You should have something to tell me, right?"

    As soon as the words fell, the guards at the door stood slightly to the sides. A middle-aged Asian man in a suit and leather shoes with a pink face strode into the warehouse, bright leather shoes stained with dust on the ground.

    Under the vigilant gaze of Greek and others, this person strode to Lin Chi with a serious expression on his face, and then¡ª

    "Thank you so much!" The man said and bowed deeply to Lin Chi.

    "Huh?" Greek made a startled voice.

    "I am the manager of the Silver Shield Security Company.

    Thank you very much for helping us get rid of the scourge of the''Burning Shield''!"

    The man said, raising his head and shook hands with Lin Chi enthusiastically: "This way we can finally defeat the lion.

    Help, completely take over Beicheng District!"

    "You''ve found the location long ago, just waiting for someone to help you?" Lin Chi looked at each other speechlessly.

    Subsequently, a system prompt appeared in his sight:

    The Lion Gang in Beicheng District has been defeated, and the Silver Shield Security Company is currently stationed in this area. Now, criminal behavior in Beicheng District will also trigger the Wanted Index.

    Seeing this line of information, Lin Chi couldn''t help laughing: "It seems that I have destroyed a''Xanadu''."

    ¡ª¡ªWith the destruction of the Lion Gang, the Silver Shield finally completely occupied the entire city, and the Beicheng District will not become the royal battlefield for the players as it did during the last full-band scan.

    In this way, the number of players going to the north city area will also be reduced, and the own safe house will make it harder to expose the location...

    When Lin Chi was thinking about it, the supervisor''s voice interrupted his thoughts:

    "Please come with me. In order to thank you,''Silver Shield'' specially prepared a thank-you gift, and put it outside the warehouse. I promise you will be very satisfied!"

    "Oh?"

    Hearing this, Lin Chi suddenly became interested again: Perhaps the Silver Shield Security Company will reward some good equipment?

    Thinking of this, he exchanged glances with the three people around him. Together, they strode out of the warehouse behind the supervisor.

    The next thing you see is the two city guards standing on the sidewalk, and what they hold-a huge pennant...

    "This is the reward you''re talking about?" Lin Chi pointed his finger at the pennant with the words "Model City" embroidered on the red background and white letters.

    "Yeah, not bad?" The supervisor nodded.

    "Your uncle," Lin Chi replied.

 Chapter 40

    Seeing the pennant, Lin Chiqiang resisted the urge to vomit blood, mockingly said:

    "We worked so hard to kill the enemy inside, so we got such a broken thing?"

    Although he knows that this is a fixed plot in the game, this design is still a bit too malicious in his opinion. It is like a game designer who is clamoring wildly "I like the way you see me upset and can''t kill me".

    However, there may be other possibilities.

    Lin Chi once again stopped Gek, who was so angry that he was about to draw his gun, and stepped forward and took the pennant from the two guards.

    I have to say that the material of the pennant is good, with a touch of tenacity and a touch of softness.

    After he waited for two seconds, the item introduction finally appeared:

    City model pennant.

    Debris.

    Item level: Normal.

    Purpose: We don''t see any use for it at all, maybe you can use this stuff as a quilt?

    "The reward from the Silver Shield Security Company, it is best not to lose it."

    Although it looked like useless tatters, Lin Chi didn''t throw away the pennant, just rolled it up and stuffed it into his backpack.

    After experiencing the previous tasks and plot, he always felt that in the game "War Paradise", there should be no meaningless plot props, seemingly useless pennants, maybe they can be used somewhere...

    After putting away the pennants, he did not continue to talk to the chief of the Silver Shield Security Company, but in the "farewell" of a group of guards, he boarded Greek''s broken van and left the warehouse of the Lion Gang.

    "This group of bastards..." Greck, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror.

    "Leave them alone." Lin Chi, who was sitting in the back row, replied casually, turning his gaze to the brown-haired girl who was sitting next to him and counting the money, and asked: "What is your name?"

    He knew that after experiencing this action, he finally succeeded in improving his relationship with the girl, so he should be able to ask from her now how she got into the safe house.

    It''s a pity that Lin Chi soon discovered that he had already encountered a difficult situation from the "close-to-close" stage:This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

    "I don''t know." The girl raised her head, staring at him with big confused eyes.

    "Huh?" Lin Chi frowned.

    "I''ve long forgotten what I called, and I don''t have a friend to talk to..."

    Having said that, the girl looked down a little embarrassed, stretched out a strand of long hair blocking her forehead, and then made a request that was even more terrifying for Lin Chi than singled out the boss:

    "Maybe you can give me a name? I haven''t read a book, and I don''t know what I should call it."

    As soon as he said this, the expression on Lin Chi''s face suddenly became serious, and said solemnly: "It''s better to choose your own name. After all, it''s your own name."

    His naming difficulty has no signs of getting better at the moment. In order to avoid the embarrassment of naming the mercenary team before, he decisively rejected the girl''s request.

    However, speaking of the mercenary team...

    "I need to hire two more elite mercenaries." Lin Chi said to Grek.

    After losing two elite mercenaries in the BOSS battle, he intends to continue to maintain the state of the seven-man mercenary team.

    Although the current funds are enough for him to hire a large number of mercenaries. But Lin Chi planned to spend most of the money on the operation of the studio.

    After all, "climbing the technology tree" is more in line with his appetite. Moreover, in Lin Chi''s view, he only needs these combat power to deal with any small-scale battle.

    "Get the money." Geek continued to drive without looking back.

    When Lin Chi hired two elite mercenaries again, the van finally reached the street where the safe house was located.

    Without waiting for Greck''s broken car to stop, Lin Chi jumped out of the car with Crazy Ivan and the unknown girl, rubbing his hands with some excitement, and strode towards the direction of the safe house.

    ¡ª¡ªThe two-hour renovation time is over, what is the broken house now?

    Haven''t seen the safe house that has been converted into a workshop, Lin Chi has already thought about dozens of possible appearances, from the sci-fi style steel tower to the small castle on the mysterious side.

    Then, when he saw the safe house, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared:

    The imaginary comprehensive renovation did not appear, and the outer wall of the safe house still looked like a ghost that might collapse at any time.

    Although the dilapidated house is relatively low-key, it will not attract the attention of other players. But from the outside, apart from drawing the curtains, the safe house is completely indistinguishable from before the renovation!

    ¡ª¡ªIs this really completed? Isn''t that engineer ran away with the money...

    Lin Chi stood in front of the door suspiciously, took out the key and before inserting it into the keyhole, the broken wooden door of the safe house was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

    A sweaty muscular man stood in front of the door with a proud expression on his face. He proudly said: "Welcome to the workshop I personally remodeled!"

    "Are you sure you are not fooling me?" Lin Chi frowned.

    "Come in and take a look!" The engineer said, leaning against the door and letting the door open.

    Lin Chi, who was still skeptical of this person''s words, strode into the old aisle, stepping on the moth-eaten wooden floor with both feet, making dangerous squeaks.

    He can be sure that there is no transformation in the aisle.

    However, when he turned a corner and saw the scene in the living room, his eyes widened in surprise:

    The original dilapidated living room is gone, replaced by a small "war factory"!

    All the walls under his eyes turned into metal materials, and a ghostly silver light appeared slightly. All kinds of lamps are installed on the ceiling, and there is even a large shadowless lamp for surgery, which is enough to meet the needs of any work.

    The wall facing the window has become a huge LCD screen. A curtain that can be lowered at any time hangs directly above the screen, and a new projector is installed in the corner of the opposite wall.

    In addition, there are three small workbenches on display in the living room, and shelves full of precision instruments and equipment are leaning against the wall.

    This room has been transformed from an outdated building in the 1990s into a battle laboratory beyond the technological level of the City of Chaos!

    Seeing this scene, the crazy Yiwen and the girl were also speechless for a while, and Lin Chi''s eyes seemed to light up with a blazing flame.

    "How?" The engineer''s voice was a little smug.

    "It''s amazing."

    Lin Chi nodded, suppressing his excitement, and walked around in this two-story old house.

    Now, with the exception of the two rooms on the second floor that are kept as they are, the other rooms in the safe house have been completely transformed into war workshops!

    The bedroom on the first floor becomes a "mini armament factory" that can produce ammunition on a small scale.

    On the metal wall of the study room on the second floor, there are several automatic robotic arms that can perform precision operations.

    The engineer even broke through the rule of "the foundation of the safe house cannot be destroyed", expanded the basement full of garbage, and transformed the original garbage dump into a huge storage room comparable to the underground warehouse of the Lion Gang!

    Seeing that the own safe house became like this, Lin Chi was also very excited at this time. He seemed to be able to see the scene where he led a group of "robotics" to crush other players after he had filled the technology tree...
