    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.Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

    ¡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.Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

    "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.If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.

    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 stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. 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:A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

    "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.Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

    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:Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

    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.The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

    "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.Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!

    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.If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

    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.

    The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

    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.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

    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.Stolen story; please report.

    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:

    This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there."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).Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; 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.Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

    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."

    Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

    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 spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

    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 tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

    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.You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

    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.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

    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.A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, 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:If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.

    "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!"This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

    "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.This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

    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.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.

    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.Stolen story; please report.

    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?If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

    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.You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

    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!A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, 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.

    If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

    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:

    If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.

    ¡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 tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

    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.The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

    "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.

    Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

    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:If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

    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.

    The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

    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.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, 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."This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

    "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:Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.

    "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...

 Chapter 41

    The just-built workshop cannot be as effective immediately as the barracks.

    Now, Lin Chi still needs to recruit some engineers and technical talents, and collect a lot of materials, in order to start his own workshop.

    Since each death game has a time limit, the players who built the studio often encounter the embarrassing situation that the game has ended before the studio has researched anything.

    Because of this, building a barracks is now a popular style of play, and there are fewer and fewer players choosing to build studios.

    However, a player of Lin Chi''s level will naturally not be affected by those self-made strategies on the Internet.

    In fact, he entered the game directly without even reading the beginner''s guide. But that is not out of absolute self-confidence, but simply too lazy...

    After checking in the workshop, Lin Chi left the crazy Yiwen who had just blown up and was still in a satisfied state, and the girl without a name in the workshop.

    On the other hand, he went to the black market again based on the information obtained from Greek, planning to recruit a few engineers and purchase some materials by the way.

    After killing the boss in the underground warehouse, he not only gained a lot of cash, but also gained 100 prestige points and 100 dominance points. This level of prestige should be more than enough to recruit engineers.

    He grabbed a car from the street and drove to the square in the city center. Lin Chi walked into the underground bar under the shopping mall with his familiarity, and told the beautiful lady behind the bar the new password after the replacement:

    "I miss a poem."

    "Gou?" The waitress raised her eyebrows.

    "Gou Quan lives in troubled times and does not want to be heard by the princes." Lin Chi said.

    "Come in." The waitress opened the side door of the bar.

    Pass through the long corridor and enter the lively underground street as always. Lin Chi looked around, but didn''t find any suspicious characters like players. Then he walked into the crowd and came to Junkrat''s bomb shop.

    At this time, people in the bomb shop were already emptying the house, leaving only the steel workbench, and all kinds of bombs and traps in it had disappeared.

    Seeing this scene, Lin Chi shook his head.

    Obviously, the hero-level character Junkrat that he had not had time to recruit before was recruited by other players.

    Although he didn''t know who Junkrat had joined, Lin Chi always felt that Frankenstein recruited this crazy "bomberman".

    In this game, the most threatening enemy to oneself, if not surprising, should be the frankenstein who is rapidly developing technology!Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi left Junkrat¡¯s bomb shop and continued to search for the necessary materials inside the underground street:

    According to the information recorded in the pamphlet titled "Guide to the Use of Workshops" left by the architect when he left. The easiest early stage project in the workshop is to use small military factories to produce ammunition.

    To make ammunition, you don¡¯t even need to hire an engineer, you just need to prepare the materials, and then hire a few workers to take care of the assembly line.

    So now, what Lin Chi is looking for first is a shop that sells gunpowder and brass: as long as these two materials are available, the workshop can immediately start producing bullets, and he does not need to go to the weapon shop to buy ammunition.

    Soon, he found a shop named "Nuclear Energy Material Store" with a nuclear radiation warning icon painted on the signboard.

    Seeing the rich variety of materials piled up in this store, Lin Chi walked over quickly and bluntly stated his needs to the man with a beard standing in front of the counter:

    "Do you have gunpowder and brass here?"

    "Oh, you want to produce bullets, right? Of course we have these two materials." The shopkeeper nodded and said: "Please fill in your home address and the quantity you need to buy, and we will deliver the materials to your home."

    Hearing that, Lin Chi wrote the address of the safe house and the quantity of goods needed on the delivery note handed by the shopkeeper, and then took out 10,000 U.S. dollars from his backpack to pay.

    In fact, the ammunition produced by the workshop is not much cheaper than the ammunition bought in the store, but the quality is much higher than the ammunition in the weapons store. Whether it is power or accuracy, it is much more reliable than the ammunition sold in the weapon store.

    After the ammunition produced by the workshop is equipped with mercenaries under his command, the combat effectiveness of the seven elite mercenaries will also receive further Ascension.

    After purchasing the materials, Lin Chi asked casually: "Are there any rare materials in the store?"

    Perhaps because his prestige value is high enough, the shopkeeper¡¯s attitude is also very good, and he immediately answered this question: "There used to be uranium mines, but you are late!"

    "Who bought it?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

    "It''s a weird guy with a bandage on his body, I can''t see his face." The shopkeeper replied.

    "Oh." Lin Chi nodded thoughtfully.

    ¡ª¡ªIt sounds like Frankenstein bought the rare materials in the shop, but what did that guy do with the uranium ore? Is it possible to make a nuclear bomb?

    Realizing that the enemy of Own seemed to be preparing to make a big news, Lin Chi did not stop much, and soon left the nuclear energy material store to continue looking for the materials and talents he needed in the black market.

    ¡ª¡ªAfter learning about the other party''s intentions, he also speeded up his actions. After all, if he continues to delay, when Frankenstein actually builds a nuclear bomb, he will never be able to come back!

    Ten minutes later, he spent another 10,000 U.S. dollars to hire three ammunition-producing workers and an ordinary engineer in the black market, and sent them back to the workshop.

    ¡ª¡ªThe amount of money needed to hire engineers is much more expensive than mercenaries. Three workers only spent three thousand dollars in total, but an ordinary engineer would charge seven thousand dollars.

    It seems that taking the technological route in the game is more difficult than imagined.

    Lin Chi walked to the inside of the underground street and was continuing to look for an engineer to hire. Suddenly behind him came a familiar male voice:

    "team leader?"

    "..."

    Hearing the voices of his team members, Lin Chi turned his head in surprise, and saw a young man with a hedgehog''s head standing behind him, staring curiously at Own''s face:

    "Captain, is that you?" the young man asked.

    "This voice, are you''Black Fire''?" Lin Chi whispered.

    He had no idea that he would meet acquaintances from the same team in this game. However, he knew that it was normal for team members to recognize themselves at a glance. After all, when he was creating characters in other games, he basically didn''t bother to squeeze his face...

    "Yes, yes, I am Black Fire!" The young man looked very excited: "I didn''t expect the captain to play this game too. I thought you were sleeping except for training..."

    "I''m not too lazy to share it yet, thank you." Lin Chi smiled helplessly.

    ¡ª¡ªThe outspoken young man in front of him is the youngest member of his team, and his combat effectiveness is also the inverse level in the team. It is basically a "mascot" in the team.

    "Yeah, after all, you never participate in offline activities of the team. I guessed too..." Heihuo scratched his head with embarrassment, and then asked, "Should the captain come to see my base? My safety. The house has just been remodeled."

    "Don''t forget that we are still enemies now." Lin Chi smiled.

    "Well, indeed...then I will leave first!"

    Hei Huo said that he was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Lin Chi again.

    "Wait a moment."

    "Is there anything else? Captain." Hei Huo looked back at him.

    "It¡¯s not like you¡¯re playing this game for the first time." Lin Chi stepped forward, patted the team¡¯s "mascot" meaningfully on the shoulder, and asked: "This player named Frankenstein, you should have heard of it. Ever?"

    "You said Frankenstein, he is indeed very famous. It is really unlucky for him to rank him." Heihuo sighed while shaking his head.

    "Why do you say that?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

    "The game has only been tested for a few days, and Frankenstein has become famous. Now there are many posts discussing him in the forum."

    Having said this, Black Fire seemed to be a little scared, and suddenly lowered his voice: "It is said that''Frankenstein'' is in the game 24 hours a day. What is even more terrifying is... He seems to have won every one he participated in. Rounds of games."

 Chapter 42 Technology Guidance

    After a short conversation, Lin Chi finally learned about the "Frankenstein" story widely circulated in the official forum of "War Paradise":

    In Nine Heavens, where the game is open for testing, there are already several powerful players with unique styles that have become the focus of attention. There is even a certain website that has compiled a list of "War Paradise Powerful Player Rankings".

    In that unreliable ranking list, Frankenstein is of course also on the list, and his introduction is roughly like this:

    "Frankenstein is a peculiar player. He likes to point the technology tree to the highest level, and he does not play cards according to common sense when fighting. He often uses incredible tactics to destroy his opponent."

    "This person has enough time to play games, and he is online almost all the time, so that some people suspect that this account is shared by multiple people."

    "When you meet this guy, it''s best to beware of his routines. As for what his routines are... our editor doesn''t know."

    ¡ª¡ªIf multiple people share the same account, the question that Frankenstein is always online can be answered. But in Lin Chi''s view, there may be other possibilities:

    That so-called Frankenstein, maybe not a human-operated character at all, but an out-and-out AI?

    When he met Frankenstein in the black market before, he found that the other person''s speaking style was very strange. Whether it was sentence break or grammar, it was not like a normal person''s language style, but more like a written form.

    Moreover, Lin Chi remembered that when he encountered Frankenstein in the corridor, the Frankenstein equipped with optical camouflage could obviously continue to attack him after being invisible, but decisively chose to retreat, which seemed to him somewhat abnormal.

    "Captain, then I will leave first." Black Fire''s voice interrupted Lin Chi''s thoughts.

    Lin Chi waved absently and said goodbye to his own "comrade-in-arms", and then continued to walk inside the black market, recruiting two ordinary engineers again.

    Greek is right, the black market is indeed a good place to recruit engineers. But it seems that only ordinary engineers can be recruited here, and there is no such skilled Master craftsman.

    It seems that the kind of "scientific genius" I want should also be classified as a special NPC, hiding in some hidden position, waiting for the moment to be recruited by the player.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi didn¡¯t stay in the black market any more. He just recruited a few more workers. Then he left the underground street and returned to the underground parking lot. He sat in the red Porsche 911 he had grabbed and started the accelerator to the Beicheng District. Drive away.

    Then, he soon discovered that he was being targeted:

    A black off-road vehicle has been following the four parking spaces unhurriedly. Looking at the rearview mirror from this distance, you can see the front row of the jeep sitting two tall, flat-headed men.

    ¡ª¡ªIt is a mercenary.

    Lin Chi knew that the guys in the off-road vehicle, obviously soldiers hired by other players, were tracking themselves.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.

    Although it was possible to suddenly speed up and get rid of these mercenaries, Lin Chi didn''t do that. He just pretended not to notice, and continued to drive unhurriedly, humming a little tune in his mouth comfortably:

    "It''s not that easy to kill me..." He laughed.

    The red Porsche sports car turned abruptly, rushed through the red light roughly, and entered the street on the right. Seeing that it was about to be lost, the black off-road vehicle at the back also accelerated suddenly, smashed into a motorcycle in front, and quickly followed.

    What greeted these mercenaries at the bend was the cold muzzle of an anti-material sniper rifle:

    Lin Chi raised the M82A1, which was nearly two meters long, in a half-kneeling shooting posture, looking through the sight of the scope, and locked the SUV that was coming.

    "boom!"

    With a loud noise, the large-caliber bullet violently shattered the front window, ripped the driver''s body apart, and pierced out of the seat, shooting another mercenary sitting in the back row.

    In the case of the driver''s death, the car immediately lost control and began to snake. After hitting two pedestrians on the sidewalk, it rushed directly into a clothing store on the side of the street.

    Pedestrians on the street began to flee. In the chaos, Lin Chi''s wanted index reached three stars again, but he did not run away, just put away the sniper rifle and replaced it with a pistol, and walked vigilantly to the off-road vehicle.

    "Put down the gun and put your hands where we can see!" Several silver shield guards shouted at him.

    Hearing this, Lin Chi took out the ID card of the Silver Shield Security Company from his pocket and explained in a serious manner: "Don''t get me wrong, I''m just performing official duties."

    "Oh¡­¡­"

    The surrounding guards immediately changed their targets and walked towards the location where the off-road vehicle crashed, and Lin Chi''s wanted index immediately became zero.

    But before the guards of the Silver Shield crossed the street, another black off-road vehicle rushed over. Two men in black protruded half of their bodies out of the vehicle, and shot them mercilessly!

    After a rush of gunfire, the three guards fell in a pool of blood, and the two mercenaries jumped out of the car and quickly rushed to where Lin Chi was just now.

    Unfortunately, they did not find anyone.

    "Damn, I''m on the Wanted Index..." The young man sitting in the passenger seat cursed, and signaled the mercenary who was driving to retreat immediately.

    Although the opponent was the captain of his team, "Black Fire" did not show mercy, but decided to kill the opponent immediately.

    After all, this game has reached the middle stage, but he only accepted one head. If you don''t kill people quickly, you won''t be able to achieve the goal of winning the "killer"!

    The off-road vehicle had just started, and a familiar voice suddenly sounded in Heihuo''s ears:

    "Boy, do you want to plot against me?"

    "team leader?"

    Heihuo, who was sitting in the car, was taken aback. He couldn''t help but exclaimed. He suddenly looked back to the back row, only to see the mercenaries he had recruited.

    Judging that the sound came from his shoulders, the young man groped his shoulders in a hurry, and finally tore off a "chewing gum" stuck to his shoulders and a button-shaped mini communication device on it.

    Before Heihuo had time to speak, Lin Chi''s voice came from the communication device again: "You are still too tender. You didn''t seem to notice when I patted your shoulder just now?"

    "..."

    Hearing this, Hei Huo was speechless for a while, and he was silent for a while before he said: "It is indeed a bit short of the captain..."

    "It''s not that it''s a bit short, you''re dragging the entire team." Lin Chi did not forget to give "technology guidance" to the own subordinates at this time: "Now you can rest immediately after you go offline, and you will have to train at 8 o''clock tomorrow morning. ."

    "What''s offline? I''m not dead yet..." Hei Huo frowned in confusion, and then suddenly thought of something. He opened the car window at the fastest speed and tried to throw the "communication device" out of the window, but unfortunately it was too much. late!

    boom!

    In the black off-road vehicle he was riding in, a fiery flame burst out, and the whole car instantly turned into burning scrap iron, and metal fragments fell on the sidewalk.

    The player "Black Fire" was killed by the player "Backstream"!

    After confirming the kill prompt, Lin Chi, who was hiding in the alley nearby, gave a laugh, threw away the mini-bomb remote in his hand, and turned to the Porsche sports car parked on the side of the road.

    Crazy Evan gave Own a "gum bomb" when he ate last time, and finally completed its mission. Now, it''s time to go back and look at the condition of the workshop.

 Chapter 43: The Queens Client

    The afternoon sun fell on the streets of the City of Chaos. The current time is 2:30 pm on the second day of the game.

    The time limit for each game is five days, which means that after three days, even if no one meets the winning conditions, the game will be forcibly ended, and the players'' rewards will be settled.

    Lin Chi drove through a "peaceful" street. When there was no full-wave scan, the city looked very orderly, which was completely inconsistent with its name.

    But before long, there will probably be another bloody storm in the city...

    Without violating traffic rules, he drove slowly to the workshop, while searching for what he wanted along the road:

    After killing the boss in the underground warehouse, he has gained a lot of money.

    So, after the first safe house is converted into a workshop, maybe another safe house can be purchased and converted into a barracks?

    Since each game lasts only five days, ordinary players usually only buy a safe house. After all, when they can¡¯t find the boss and dare not go to the bank, the money in the game is not so easy to make. A safe house is already the limit they can bear.

    Now Lin Chi has enough funds to buy the second safe house, but in this way, the research funds left for the studio may be reduced.

    However, for his "open-minded" professional player, money is not a big problem at all.

    After making the decision, Lin Chi also slowed down again and carefully observed the houses on the street, which aroused the angry whistle of the NPCs behind him.

    When he was about to drive into the Beicheng District, he turned a corner and drove into the narrow path nearby, and finally found a house for sale.

    Like own''s first safe house, this house is also a two-story small apartment, but compared to the first safe house, this house looks obviously newer, and the price is more expensive than the first safe house.

    On the billboard in front of the apartment, the text "Sell the house for $90,000" was written. According to the rules of the game, the homeowner who could not enter the safe house was forced to stand beside the billboard with a depressed look.

    Lin Chi got out of the car, stood in front of the owner, took out nine wads of banknotes from his backpack neatly and handed them to the middle-aged man:

    "I want this house."

    "Oh..." The owner put away the money and handed the key to Lin Chi: "The house is yours."

    After successfully completing the transaction, Lin Chi did not enter the safe house to check the situation this time.

    He just found the architect who renovated the safe house for himself before, paid another 20,000 US dollars, and commissioned the architect to transform the building into a barracks. .Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

    ¡ª¡ªIn this way, you can not only get the skill bonus of the barracks, but also research and develop technology in the workshop. Already called "invincible in the world"!

    Of course, that had to be without encountering "Frankenstein"...

    Lin Chi was very concerned about Frankenstein¡¯s rival. After the renovation of the second safe house, he did not immediately return to the workshop. Instead, he went to the old house next to him to find Greck and asked him about it. Information that I care about:

    "Where can I buy beneficiation equipment?"

    "There is a shop called''Queen of Mining'' in the Xicheng District Industrial Zone. You can go there and have a look." When Greck said this, a little doubt suddenly appeared in his voice: "What are you asking about this?"

    "I recently bought a batch of ore." Lin Chi casually babbled a reason.

    ¡ª¡ªEven in a game that simplifies a lot of operation steps, it is impossible to make a nuclear bomb with uranium ore alone. If Frankenstein wants to make nuclear weapons, he needs to buy a lot of equipment to refine the ore and extract weapon-grade nuclear materials.

    In the shop where the machine is sold, you may be able to investigate the traces of Frankenstein and follow the vines to find the guy''s base.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi first went back to the workshop, took the crazy Yiwen who was already getting upset and planning to make an explosion, and then immediately drove to the Xicheng District.

    Unlike the Beicheng District of the slum, the Xicheng District of the City of Chaos is an industrial area and the most polluted area in the city.

    What you see is a haze. In the dozens of factories passing by, huge chimneys are expelling large amounts of white smoke into the air. Pedestrians on the streets of Xicheng District wear masks, and some even put on gas masks, walking hurriedly across the dusty streets.

    Perhaps it is because the pollution is too serious and there are no players in this area. According to Lin Chi''s previous observations, in the first two full-band scans, there were very few players in Xicheng District.

    "I''ve bombed such a factory before!" Crazy Ivan sitting in the co-pilot''s position seemed to recall a good past.

    "Oh oh." Lin Chi casually said, drove into another block, finally found the position of the "Queen of Mining" that Greek called.

    It was a three-story building standing on the side of the street. On the wall there was an extraordinarily exaggerated signboard on which was drawn a red-haired beauty with a fiery figure sitting on the dump bucket of an excavator...

    "This signboard is too out of style." Lin Chi spit out, staring at the line of text under the signboard:

    "Queen of Mining, the only designated mining equipment store in the City of Chaos! Officially certified!"

    After reading the advertising slogan that was as unstyled as the signboard, Lin Chi confirmed that this was the store he was looking for.

    He parked his car on the street two hundred meters away.

    When he was about to walk past, he suddenly dragged Crazy Yiwen to hide.

    Go to the small shop on the side of the road:

    A sixteen-wheel heavy truck galloped from the other end of the street and stopped in front of the shop of the "Queen of Mining", occupying almost half of the street.

    Wearing yellow coveralls with glass masks on their faces, several people who looked like men working in a nuclear power plant got off the truck and walked straight into the gate of the Queen of Mines.

    "What''s wrong?" Crazy Evan asked.

    "These people seem to have a mystery." Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.

    ¡ª¡ªAlthough it may also be an NPC who came to purchase equipment, he has not seen any NPC other than mercenaries and city guards that can drive the car so fast.

    Are these people hired by Frankenstein to buy equipment?

    Lin Chi bought a broken telescope with a very low multiple from the shop where he was, and carefully observed the heavy truck and the main entrance of the Queen of Mines.

    A staff member who also wears yellow clothes remained on the truck, and there was no trace of Frankenstein. When the identity of the opponent could not be determined, Lin Chi patiently waited for the opponent to appear again.

    Then, when he saw the large equipment with a green shell that had been transported from the "Queen of Mining" by a flatbed truck, Lin Chi shook his fist excitedly:

    "BINGO!"

    ¡ª¡ªThese guys bought exactly the equipment needed for beneficiation. The possibility that they are "Frankenstein" subordinates has undoubtedly increased a bit!

    Thinking of this, he smiled at the crazy Evan with a bewildered look beside him, and asked, "Are you trying to explode?"

    "Of course!" Crazy Ivan kept nodding.

    "If I guessed correctly, you can blow it up this time." Lin Chi smiled.

    Before the voice was over, I saw that the workers had transported the equipment to the truck and were fixing the equipment. Seeing this scene, Crazy Ivan excitedly took off his dangerous backpack and asked, "Is it going to blow up this truck?"

    "No." Lin Chi shook his head: "Wait a second, the opportunity will come soon..."

    Five minutes later, when the truck turned around and left, Lin Chi took Crazy Evan back to the Porsche sports car and followed it sneakily.

    The man in yellow on the truck obviously did not realize that he was being followed. He just continued to drive through the cracked road in Xicheng District, past the gates of several mining companies, and then...

    "Is this the goal!" Crazy Evan''s eyes seemed to shine.

    Seeing the heavily guarded main entrance of the military base where the truck was driving into, as well as the power grid and sentry tower on the high wall next to it, Lin Chi was speechless for a while.

    After he was silent for two seconds, he took out the map he found on Hall when he was fighting the BOSS from his briefcase:

    ¡ª¡ªThe location of this base is exactly where the red circle is drawn on the map.

    "Well, it''s interesting now..." he whispered.

 Chapter 44

    According to Greek, this residential area in Xicheng District was demolished and converted into a military base.

    It seems that this is indeed true, but...

    Lin Chi hid on the opposite side of the street in front of the main entrance of the base, observing the conditions inside the base, his expression became more solemn:

    "This base is occupied by Frankenstein?"

    The base did not have the kind of NPC soldiers that once appeared on the streets. Instead, a group of guys wearing all kinds of miscellaneous military uniforms, who looked like mercenaries, patrolled the base.

    The heavy truck just now stopped moving after entering the base, presumably it was unloading in the warehouse.

    Although it is still unsure whether this base is occupied or not, in any case, it is too dangerous to allow this group of miscellaneous forces to develop nuclear bombs.

    Even if this base is not controlled by Frankenstein, it must be a battleground for BOSS.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi turned his head and said to Crazy Yiwen, "Wait a second."

    "I can''t help it anymore!" Crazy Ivan is obviously not as patient as he is. This bomb expert who has not made an explosion for more than five hours is obviously about to reach the limit of endurance.

    "If you want to rush in and explode, I won''t stop you." Lin Chi said in a low voice, "I guess you will be beaten to death if you can''t get to the door at all."

    At present, the security of this base is very tight. There are at least fifty mercenaries patrolling inside, and there are no side doors and secret passages for entry and exit.

    If it is a direct attack, the difficulty will definitely be much higher than the last BOSS battle. From this perspective, you can¡¯t see the internal configuration of the base. In case there are "big guys" like tanks, armored vehicles, and armed helicopters, you will basically be finished.

    More importantly, Lin Chi has not yet been able to confirm the most critical issue at present:

    Is "Frankenstein" in the base?

    At present, it seems that the possibility of this base being occupied by Frankenstein is getting higher and higher. Because of this, more careful confirmation is needed.

    Catch the thieves first. If Frankenstein really shows up in the base, as long as you find a way to kill him with a single shot, the battle will be over!

    However, Frankenstein was obviously very cautious. Lin Chi observed outside the base for ten minutes, but he did not see him. But he saw a hero-level NPC, let him confirm that the base is indeed occupied by the player:This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

    There was a "ninja" who seemed to be out of sync with other people in the base. He hurried past the door of the base, wearing a set of nano armor that looked very sci-fi, and the exposed muscle outline glowed with a little metallic light.

    This person was holding a high-frequency knife with a sharp cold light in his hand, and the mask on his head completely concealed his face, only where it should be between his eyes, a strange red light was lit.

    As he passed by, a line of text popped out with a red skull icon, marking the person''s identity:

    "GREY-FOX, a heroic NPC, has been recruited."

    "f**k, there is still this kind of character in this map?" Lin Chi cursed.

    "What?" Crazy Evan glanced at him.

    "It''s okay." Lin Chi shook his head: "It seems that we have to re-draw the combat strategy."

    ¡ª¡ªHe wanted to go to Greek to recruit a large number of mercenaries and directly break through the gate of the base. But an enemy of this level of "Gray Fox" was completely beyond his expectation.

    If he remembers correctly, Grey Fox should be a half-human, half-mechanical reformer.

    He is also one of the strongest fighters in the legendary "Foxhound Troop".

    The melee ability of this man is beyond imagination, and there is such a horror.

    The guy is here, even if a hundred elite mercenaries are not enough for him!

    Now, we must think of other ways.

    Lin Chi thought for a while, and soon had an idea, and smiled at Crazy Evan: "You wait here, I have a solution."

    "What are you going to do?" Crazy Evan asked.

    Realizing that he is only going in now to die, Crazy Ivan is also "calm down" a lot at this time. He knows that only by keeping his own life, can he continue to create more gorgeous explosions...

    After Crazy Yiwen asked questions, Lin Chi looked back and shook the silver shield security company ID card in his hand:

    "I''ll study the new usage of props."

    With that, Lin Chi returned to the street, stopped several guards who were patrolling on the side of the street, took out the ID card, put on the city guard''s speech pattern, and said in a hasty tone:

    "I heard gunshots and screams in the base over there just now. Go over and take a look!"

    Upon hearing this, the three guards who were stopped looked at each other with a trace of doubt in their eyes, but they still walked quickly towards the main entrance of the base.

    Lin Chi could see that the three guards were indeed suspicious of him. Fortunately, he was wearing a "Silver Shield" black coat and barely passed the level.

    Under his gaze, three city guards walked across the street and began to question the mercenaries at the front entrance of the base.

    Seeing that those people were having a "kind and friendly" exchange, Lin Chi returned to the street corner next to him and stood beside the crazy Yi Wen who was stomping impatiently:

    "You gave me two''gum bombs'' before, right?"

    "Indeed, that was my proud work!" When it came to bombs, Crazy Evan suddenly regained his interest.

    Lin Chi smiled, took out a miniature remote control from his pocket and handed it to the bomb expert beside him:

    "I just stuck the last bomb on the guard, you can do it."

    As soon as he said this, Crazy Yiwen seemed to have a flame on his body, and he immediately grabbed the remote control and pressed the red button on it forcefully!

    boom!

    A black guard standing in front of the base, questioning the mercenary, exploded like a bloody balloon, instantly killing two companions around him and a mercenary guarding the door.

    Hearing the explosion, the guard who was still patrolling the other end of the street immediately ran over, and the military base occupied by mercenaries also rang an ear-piercing alarm.

    The original "kind and friendly" exchanges disappeared. Instead, there was a "tensed and exciting" battle. Seeing the guards coming from the street, they had exchanged fire with the mercenaries in the military base. Lin Chi couldn''t help laughing out loud:

    "Well, we can drink tea first."

    The combat effectiveness of the city guards is completely inferior to the well-equipped mercenaries in the military base, and they have been under pressure since the beginning of the battle. However, these guards from the Silver Shield Security Company have an incomparable advantage:

    -They are refreshed infinitely!

    As long as it is not judged that there is no hope of winning, the city guards will continue to come to support their own comrades.

    As the battle heats up, the front gate of the military base suddenly enters a state of blood and blood.

    Just as the city guards began to rout, several familiar green jeeps rushed over from the far side of the street, and the NPC soldiers holding assault rifles finally joined the chaotic battle.

    After the soldiers joined the war, the mercenaries in the military base began to feel a little unbearable.

    Then, the "Gray Fox" walked out of a barracks in the base.

    Seeing that the base was under attack, the ninja wearing a half-metal armor threw a syringe in his hand, drew a long knife and raised it in front of him.

    When he was about to rush out to kill someone, a strange electronic sound came from the barracks:

    "Retreat."

    "But..." The grey fox looked back at his "master" who was bandaged all over his body.

    "Found by Silver Shield, the base is unusable." Frankenstein stood up as he said, picked up a medicine bottle on the metal table beside him and put it in his pocket:

    "Someone is plotting against us, preparing to take away the''cargo'' by helicopter and retreat immediately."

 Chapter 45 The Grey Fox Arrives

    When the battle in the base began to erupt, Lin Chi summoned seven elite mercenaries under his command and continued to hide outside the base, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight comfortably.

    The workshop was operating very fast. After the workers and engineers he recruited arrived at the workshop, although they had not developed any reliable equipment, the small "arms factory" transformed from the bedroom on the first floor had already begun production. Ammunition is out.

    At this time, the seven mercenaries under Lin Chi''s command were still using the original HK-416 assault rifles, but the bullets in the guns were more powerful than the ammunition they originally used, and were "violent" by more than a grade.

    "Boss, please instruct." Under the skull mask on the face of the elite mercenary, a muffled voice came out.

    "Listen to my instructions." While Lin Chi spoke, he stared at the military base across the street without blinking.

    The gray fox that had appeared in the base before, did not show up again at this time. According to Lin Chi''s judgment, the reformer should have received the instruction to retreat and was planning to run away.

    If the mercenaries in the base choose to retreat by land, Lin Chi is ready to ambush them. However, there is another possibility...

    The hum of the helicopter propellers shaking the air, mixed with gunfire, came over. Obviously, Frankenstein and his men are planning to escape by plane.

    However, these guys obviously couldn''t run away so easily.

    "Prepare to attack the helicopter." Lin Chi said.

    Following his order, seven elite mercenaries quickly loaded up and climbed to the top of the building along the fire escape on the outside of the building. The muzzles of the seven assault rifles were all aimed at the outer wall of the military base.

    After ordering Crazy Yiwen to return to the car and wait, Lin Chi also climbed onto the roof of another two-story building next to him, leaned on the edge and set up an anti-material sniper rifle, shooting in a standard prone position and aimed at the base wall. The position above.

    After several previous battles, his sniper rifle proficiency has reached 11 points, and he can finally sniper normally, instead of using this gun as a melee weapon throughout the process.

    The vision of the right eye through the scope aimed at the position where the sound of the helicopter propellers came from. Soon, two CH-47 transport helicopters took off slowly, one after the other, with two sets of propellers installed on the fuselage. The tearing air made a harsh noise.

    After seeing the helicopter that took off, the beneficiation equipment just purchased was tied with steel cables under the fuselage. Lin Chi immediately issued an order via radio:The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

    "Attack the helicopter with the machine attached, don''t let it run away!"

    "receive."

    Before the mercenaries had finished their words, they had already begun to shoot at the second transport helicopter. The powerful special bullets easily smashed the shell of the transport helicopter and smashed the plane into smoke.

    "Goodbye, friend." Lin Chi said as he pulled the trigger of the sniper rifle.

    With a loud noise, the armor-piercing projectile blasted directly into the cockpit of the crumbling transport helicopter. The transport helicopter dragging the beneficiation equipment suddenly fell in a circle and fell into a big fireball in the center of the base.

    However, the kill prompt did not appear.

    Realizing that Frankenstein was not in this helicopter, Lin Chi immediately ordered the mercenaries to attack another helicopter that was fleeing.

    In fact, even if he failed to kill Frankenstein this time and destroyed the equipment he just purchased, it would be a big profit!

    Strangely, the other helicopter did not turn around and left, but flew straight towards Lin Chi and the elite mercenaries.

    As the plane got closer, the bullets fired by the mercenaries hit the cockpit of the helicopter. The glass of the cockpit was instantly stained red with blood, and the whole plane suddenly lost its balance. Toward the street, the elite mercenaries The building where it is located has fallen down!

    "Retreat!" Lin Chi roared, "Crazy Yiwen, drove back to the workshop!"

    The reason for giving such an order is because he saw the gloomy figure that flashed by in the side porthole of the helicopter that was falling--

    "boom!"

    The elite mercenaries had just retreated, and the crashed helicopter plunged into the three-story building. The dazzling firelight seemed to be slowly rising, and the violent shock wave shook Lin Chi''s house slightly. tremble!

    "Damn..."

    Lin Chi covered his ears and lay on the ground, avoiding a few metal fragments flying over his head. Just standing up, he saw a dark afterimage, jumping out of the smoke screen of the explosion in the building next door.

    The ninja wearing a silver-gray armor fell from the sky, and the center of the mask lit up with scarlet blood. A crisp "fall cut", the long knife in his hand mercilessly slashed towards Lin Chi''s head!

    clang!

    The sparks flickered, and Lin Chi, at the moment of his death, blocked the opponent''s blade with the M82A1 "Barrett" sniper rifle in his hand.

    Despite this, his hands were still slightly numb, and a deep gap appeared in the body of the sniper rifle.

    After a miss, the gray fox cut a second knife instantly, and the crazy trembling blade left a silver afterimage in the air, so fast that normal people had no time to react!

    However, the "enemy" he faced was not a normal person.

    Even if he couldn''t see the position of the opponent''s blade, Lin Chi, who had experienced many battles in brain imaging games, had already reacted under the instinct, and retreated at an incredible speed.

    The tip of the grey fox scratched Lin Chi''s coat, tearing his clothes, leaving a long blood mark on his chest.

    "you are vicious."

    Before the grey fox took the knife and slashed again, Lin Chi was already running backwards with his sniper rifle-a heroic NPC of this level, with his current equipment, it was impossible to win in close combat!

    Even if you are a professional player, you are still a human, but the opponent is no longer a "human" in terms of game settings or in the actual sense...

    The afterimage of the gray fox approached more and more behind him, and Lin Chi jumped directly from the west side of the second floor, fell into the alley next to him, and fell heavily on the driver''s seat of the roadster parked in the alley.

    ¡ª¡ªAfter being offered a reward before, he also got a little serious and planned an escape route before the action. Now it seems that this escape route really came in handy.

    After getting into the sports car that had not stalled, Lin Chi stepped on the accelerator and rushed out of the alley without saying a word. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a dark figure in the rearview mirror:

    The grey fox didn''t give up on chasing himself, but ran with his legs at a terrifying speed, and his running speed was about to catch up with the car!

    "What a joke..."

    Lin Chi stomped on the accelerator, but the grey fox was still chasing like a hungry wolf. When the sports car he was driving was about to be overtaken, a few bullets shot from the side saved his life.

    The NPC soldiers surrounding the main entrance of the base began to fire on the gray fox. The dense rain of bullets distracted the guy. I saw the "mechanical ninja" swinging a long knife to create a blurry afterimage on the right hand side, which actually blocked it. All the bullets dropped!

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Chi drove a turn and ran at the fastest speed!

    "call¡­¡­"

    After confirming that the grey fox had not caught up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead with his hand.

    ¡ª¡ª Frankenstein is indeed a well-deserved reputation, and his combat power far exceeds Own''s expectations. It seems that if you want to kill that guy, you need to go back and recruit some "strong men"...

 Chapter 46 Recruiting the "Queen of Mining"

    After leaving the dangerous area near the military base, Lin Chi did not immediately go back to the workshop. He just bandaged the wound on his chest first, and then drove towards a certain shop.

    At this time, the second safe house he bought has been successfully transformed into a barracks. As for why Lin Chi knew, it was precisely because he saw a new skill in the own skill column:

    Horn of War:

    Active skills, cooling time of twelve hours.

    After use, make your strength, agility, and endurance attributes all Ascension 5 points for 30 minutes.

    "Men, you should do men...what you should do!"-Tycus Finley.

    "Is there something wrong with this sentence?" Lin Chi vomited.

    Although there is quite a criticism of the "famous quotes" behind the skill introduction in the game, after reading the introduction of this skill, Lin Chi finally understands why the construction of barracks has become the current mainstream:

    Three attributes are five points in Ascension within half an hour, which is indeed a better choice for those players who charge at the front line.

    My current strength is 15 points. When wearing the armor of the fearless warrior, I can only move at a slow speed, but if the "War Horn" is turned on, I can wear the heavy armor and kill specials within half an hour. killed!

    Soon, he had returned to the street where the "Queen of Mining" was located.

    Lin Chi parked his car on the side of the road, got off and walked towards the shop of the Queen of Mines. Before taking two steps, I saw a redhead dragging a suitcase and walking out of the store in a panic, so she rushed over and stood in front of the woman.

    "You... are you the one sent by that monster? Don''t come over!"

    The woman with long burgundy hair took out a small and exquisite silver pistol from her pocket, held the handle of the gun with trembling hands, and pointed the muzzle at Lin Chi''s face: "I''ll shoot again!"

    "Don''t be nervous, I wasn''t sent by that guy." Lin Chi immediately understood who the "monster" was referring to, and then added: "Your gun has no magazine."

    "Huh?" The redhead''s eyes fell on the pistol.

    While she was distracted, Lin Chi rushed forward and strangled her wrist in a flash, and took down the pistol that actually contained a magazine.

    "Help!" the red-haired woman cried out in pain.

    "If you want to survive, you''d better follow me." Lin Chi said to the woman in a low voice, "I know that the bandaged weird guy is going to kill you."This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it

    At this time, on the right side of the red-haired woman''s body, the mark of a silver skull, as well as her name and identity, appeared:

    "Queen of Mining" Media, a special NPC, cannot be recruited.

    The first time I saw a real mining queen, Lin Chi finally understood who the woman on the shop''s sign was¡ªthe hot redhead on the billboard turned out to be the shop owner herself!

    If he guessed correctly, this woman should be providing equipment for the mining companies in the City of Chaos, and according to the information provided by Greck, her shop is the leader in this industry, and she deserves the name of the "Queen of Mining." No.

    As the queen of mining, Media is naturally very shrewd. After hearing what Lin Chi said, he immediately raised his head and stared at him: "Are you a rival of that monster?"

    "You can say that." Lin Chi smiled.

    The purpose of his coming this time was precisely to recruit high-rank engineers that might exist in this store, but he encountered a non-recruitable role like Media.

    But this time, the situation seems different.

    ¡ª¡ªPerhaps you can try to ignore the rules of the game and forcefully recruit this NPC?

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi said to Media: "If you want to survive, follow me." Then he turned to the own sports car.

    Looking at the back of the black-clothed man, Media took out a short dagger from his pocket again, frowned and thought for a moment, then put the knife back in his pocket and followed quickly.

    Lin Chi just walked to the car and saw that Media had followed him, so he nodded and smiled approvingly: "A wise choice."

    "I don''t have any other options. The monster will come to chase me down soon..." The woman with the title of Queen of Mines had a little powerless support: "After all, what I sold to him is fake. "

    "Oh?" Lin Chi raised his eyebrows.

    In normal games, it is impossible for a player to buy fake and shoddy products from the merchant NPC. But Media obviously broke this rule, and Lin Chi confirmed his previous judgment once again:

    The NPCs in this game seem to have consciousness.

    But unlike real humans, the consciousness of these NPCs should be restricted by the rules of the game or other things.

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi continued to ask: "Why sell fakes to him? This will smash the sign of the''Queen of Mining'', right?"

    Hearing this, Media blinked, and the face with heavy makeup, but with a strange "pure" feeling, showed a depressed expression: "I know this will smash the sign, but I don''t want to look at it. The city turned to ashes in the nuclear explosion..."

    "How do you know that he is making a nuclear bomb?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

    "The monster came here for the first time and asked me about the extraction measures of the uranium mine. The second time he sent a group of militants to buy equipment. Obviously he wanted to refine the''yellow cake''. Do you think I can''t see it?" Mei Dia shook his head.

    "What is yellow cake?" Lin Chi asked.

    "It''s uranium concentrate... You don''t even know this?" Media''s voice was slightly despised.

    "I think ordinary people shouldn''t deliberately understand this knowledge." Lin Chi smiled.

    "Anyway, that monster is planning to refine nuclear fuel in large quantities. There is no nuclear power plant in this island city. I can only think that he wants to make nuclear weapons..."

    Having said this, Media suddenly looked at Lin Chi and said seriously: "Can you stop him?"

    "I already exploded his base. You should have heard the explosion just now." Lin Chi nodded.

    The military base occupied by Frankenstein was not far from this street, and the loud noise of helicopters exploding on the street must have also reached the ears of the "Queen of Mining."

    "I know, you are also a dangerous person." Media sighed a little depressed: "But I have nothing else to do. That monster might come over to trouble me. If he finds that the machine is not working, I''m afraid I will just It''s over..."

    "Ha, in that case, do you want to join my camp?" Lin Chi finally said the point.

    In order to keep the woman in fear, he did not tell Media that the mineral processing equipment had actually been blown up.

    Although in her character introduction, the words "Not Recruitable" are clearly written. But with the experience of fighting alongside Greek, Lin Chi knew that even the non-recruitable NPCs in this game would have the opportunity to win over to own!

    So now, he is also decisively starting to try.

    Hearing Lin Chi''s words, Media looked a little embarrassed and lowered his head: "I...can''t..."

    "Can''t it? Then I''ll go first." Lin Chi said as he opened the car door.

    "Ah, wait a minute!" Media hurriedly stopped him: "Yes! I can join you, but..."

    "Are there any conditions?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.

    "Can you protect my personal safety?" Media asked.

    "sure."

    "Can you give me enough personal space?"

    "I have two houses."

    "Can I keep a dog?"

    "no problem."

    "If I help you, can I be paid?"

    "I am rich."

    "All right." At this point, Media finally stopped asking questions: "Although I don''t know if you are lying to me..."

    She said that she put her own suitcase in the trunk of the sports car, and she sat in the front passenger seat and fastened her seat belt.

    Lin Chi noticed that as the woman got in the car, the words "unrecruitable" after her name seemed to have been erased, and disappeared without warning.

 Chapter 47-The Real Engineer

    As the sky darkened, Lin Chi drove the newly recruited "Mining Queen" toward the military base where the fighting had just broken out.

    If he guessed correctly, the safe left by the "Holy Sword" Hall in the underground warehouse should be hidden somewhere in the base.

    At this time, the rest of Frankenstein''s subordinates should have been almost killed by the soldiers. Before returning to the workshop, it was more reliable to take the safe on the way.

    But the question is, how did that guy occupy the military base?

    "Your home is in Xicheng District?" The voice of Media next to him interrupted Lin Chi''s thoughts.

    "No, I still have something to deal with." Lin Chi shook his head and glanced at the redhead.

    By now, he can already see that the game "War of Heaven" does not conform to the current trend of more rigorous development of brain imaging games.

    The rules of this game are not as strict as in other games. On the contrary, there are often some errors. In other words, there are a lot of bugs.

    ¡ª¡ªWhether it is an ordinary NPC girl, she inexplicably enters the safe house that cannot be entered in the setting. I successfully recruited myself and was set to be a special NPC that could not be recruited. It all shows that the rules in this game are not as unbreakable as other games.

    In this way, "Frankenstein" also took advantage of loopholes in the rules of the game to occupy this military base?

    However, there may be another possibility...

    While thinking about it, Lin Chi had already reached the street in front of the military base. As he expected, the battle was over long ago, and the corpses on the street had disappeared, leaving only mottled bullet marks and dripping blood.

    "Wait in the car, I''ll be right back."

    As Lin Chi said, he parked his car on the side of the road and strode towards the main entrance of the base that was blown out.

    At this time, the base where the war had just broken out was not reoccupied by NPC soldiers, but was left unattended.

    Lin Chi walked into the base and saw that almost all the buildings inside had been destroyed. The wreckage of the helicopter shot down by him fell into a barracks below.

    "Um¡­¡­"

    After pondering for a moment, Lin Chi took out the map of Hall from his backpack and stared at the five numbers "37120" on it.

    Unsurprisingly, the setting of this password is indeed extremely mentally retarded-because he soon found a half-destroyed warehouse with "37" sprayed on the wall, and then saw neatly arranged and marked numbers inside. Two hundred safes...If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

    Lin Chi found the No. 120 safe and opened the cabinet door with Hall''s key, but the epic weapon in his imagination did not appear: I saw several black and shiny ceramic plates neatly placed in the cabinet, which seemed to be inlaid. Bulletproof flap in the body armor.

    Lin Chi picked up a ceramic plate casually, put it in his hand and weighed it, and the introduction of the item also popped out immediately:

    Boron carbide bulletproof ceramic inserts.

    Armor.

    Item level: Sophisticated.

    Insert the ceramic insert into the body armor to achieve the maximum protection effect.

    "Damn, I thought there would be something good." Lin Chi complained.

    It seems that I don¡¯t have the good luck of the ¡°true hero¡± that is common in the novel. After all, according to the common routine, you should pick up some ¡°hidden artifact¡± at this time, and immediately start invincible heaven-defying...

    However, these ceramic plates are also of great practical value.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi didn''t say much, but just stuffed the ceramic flap into his own briefcase, searched in the warehouse, confirmed that there was no other loot that could be raided, and then turned to leave the ruined base.

    Back in the sports car, Lin Chi did not drive away immediately, first took out a ceramic insert and gave it to the "Queen of Mining" beside him:

    "Can you recognize what this is?"

    "Of course, don''t underestimate me, I am a double PhD in mineralogy and engineering!" Media''s voice was unabashedly proud: "Isn''t this the ceramic plate in the bulletproof vest? Ask what this does. ?"

    "I want to know, if you have the materials, can you mass-produce this in the studio?" Lin Chi went straight to the topic.

    It can be said that the ceramic bulletproof flapper has brought the protection rate of the body armor to a new level. This thing looks fragile, but in fact it is indestructible, and can even withstand the frontal shot of the AK-47 at close range.

    When Lin Chi bought knives in the "Rainbow Six Weapon Store" before, he noticed that there were interceptor bulletproof vests that could be installed with inserts, but there were no ceramic inserts for sale.

    If the own workshop can produce a batch of ceramic inserts, it can be installed on the body armor purchased from the weapon store. As long as this body armor is distributed to the mercenaries under its command, the death rate of the mercenaries can undoubtedly be greatly reduced. !

    Hearing Lin Chi¡¯s question, Media thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: ¡°The cost of this boron carbide bulletproof insert is too high.

    If it is to be mass-produced in a short time, I recommend using other materials.

    I can Ensure that the cost is reduced by 70% without reducing the strength!"

    "Ha, please." Lin Chi smiled.

    The "Queen of Mining" is indeed worthy of her title, and no one can match her accomplishments in this regard. Recruiting this NPC this time is undoubtedly a big profit...

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi speeded up again and drove the red-haired woman all the way to the workshop.

    Since he had gone to the black market to recruit several engineers and workers before, the workshop has already started to operate. However, only assault rifle bullets are currently being produced inside.

    At this time, Crazy Yiwen and the unknown girl were also resting in the living room on the first floor of the studio.

    Lin Chi simply greeted the two of them, and after introducing them to the "Queen of Mining", he led the red-haired girl around the workshop and asked, "How is it?"

    "This is the studio you are talking about?" Media frowned.

    "Is there any problem?" Lin Chi stared at the opponent''s face with interest.

    "Very problematic..."

    Speaking of this, Media suddenly raised his voice: "In the eyes of the layman, this place may be good, but the person who renovated the house doesn''t understand engineering at all! Many of the equipment he bought are useless.

    The decorations are not practical at all, so the work efficiency is too low!"

    "Really? I don''t know much about this." Lin Chi told the truth.

    In fact, he really didn''t know much about how the studio works. After all, this building has just been remodeled and it hasn''t been able to perform its real utility.

    Maybe the "Queen of Mining" can revitalize this place?

    Just thinking of this, Lin Chi heard Media¡¯s voice in a low voice impatiently: "You are going to produce bulletproof boards here, right?"

    "Yes." Lin Chi nodded.

    "I really can''t stand the design of this place, so let me give me fifty thousand dollars, plus one night''s time, I will let these engineers transform this place into a real workshop, how about it?" Ya said seriously.

    "Deal." Lin Chi did not hesitate to take out another fifty thousand dollars from his backpack and handed it to the "Queen of Mining" in front of him. He added: "There is my mercenary guard in the workshop. Run away, otherwise..."

    "Who would do that, I have a very professional ethics!" Media stared at him angrily.

    "Didn''t you run away because you sold fakes?" Lin Chi joked.

    Seeing Media''s face trying to kill his own expression, Lin Chi smiled: "It''s just a joke, then leave it to you, please."

    After speaking, Lin Chi returned to the living room of the workshop and asked his workers and ordinary engineers to follow Media''s instructions. Then he left the workshop with Crazy Ivan and the unnamed girl, and went to own another safe house a few blocks away.

    ¡ª¡ªSince the workshop needs to be rebuilt, staying here will only cause trouble.

    Now, it''s time to see the barracks that have been built.

 Chapter 48 Rescue Operation-1

    Standing in the wide space inside the barracks converted from the safe house, Crazy Evan touched his bright bald head and said with a smile: "This place is still suitable for daddy..."

    Compared with the workshops filled with all kinds of metal machines, the barracks are obviously more suitable for human living:

    In order to accommodate as many soldiers as possible, the barracks are neatly displayed with metal bunk beds, covered with simple white sheets and dark brown quilts.

    The room next to the dormitory, which was supposed to be the study, was directly transformed into a training ground, with barbells and sandbags, all kinds of fitness equipment, and even a fighting arena where soldiers can fight.

    Seeing that fighting arena, Lin couldn''t help but think of a male star named Billy Harrington in the real world, so he smiled at the crazy Evan next to him: "Would you like to have an exciting wrestling with me? "

    "I don''t like men." Yiwen tidied his clothes nervously.

    "I''m joking." Lin Chi said as he stood at the window and stared at the street under the curtain of night.

    Since most of the players who participated in the war have already died, the remaining survivors, just like themselves, are adhering to the principle of "making a fortune through silence" and are busy expanding their own forces, and no more wars have erupted.

    At this speed, when the next full-band scan begins, the ceramic inserts for body armor should be produced in the own workshop, right?

    Lin Chi couldn''t help laughing when he thought that the "Queen of Mining" was transforming his own workshop.

    ¡ª¡ªUnlike the real world, the process of manufacturing various equipment through the workshop in the game has also been greatly simplified.

    First, collect the required raw materials and prepare a machine that can produce this equipment. With an engineer taking care of it, you can wait for the delivery.

    In the production process of the workshop, the technology level of the engineer will determine the quality of the equipment produced.

    Of course, with the ordinary engineers that Lin Chi had collected in the black market before, they couldn''t make any good things. However, with the joining of top craftsmen like the "Queen of Mining", the quality of equipment manufactured in the workshop will undoubtedly be unbelievably high!

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi also took the two NPCs around him, planning to go to Grek first, and then hire a group of mercenaries.

    When the third full-band scan arrives, the battle will undoubtedly be more intense. Relying on the "Seven People" under his command and the special NPC of Crazy Ivan is no longer enough to cope with the fierce battle.

    So before the start of the next battle, Lin Chi planned to hire another twenty ordinary mercenaries and let them all be equipped with new body armor.

    Of course, if you can meet hero-level NPCs or special characters that can be hired on the road, it would be better.

    Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

    After being almost killed by the grey fox, Lin Chi also realized the difference in combat power between himself and the "Frankenstein". Even if the bandaged b*****d could be pinched to death with one hand by himself, the monster was under him. The quality of his followers is unmatched by himself!

    In other words, in order to win the "Frankenstein", in addition to hiring another twenty soldiers, at least one guy who can compete with the mechanical ninja "Gray Fox" is needed.

    "It seems that I probably won''t have time to sleep tonight..."

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi sighed and opened the door of the black Hummer parked in front of the barracks. This sturdy-looking military vehicle is also a "gift" when the safe house is transformed into a barracks.

    Seeing that they both got in the car and fastened their seat belts, Lin Chi immediately activated the accelerator and drove in the direction of Greek''s office.

    Of course, he did not forget to observe the street scenes along the way, looking for powerful characters that might appear.

    The hero-level and special NPCs in this game may be hidden in various corners. In order to recruit powerful subordinates, Lin Chi also concentrated his attention and did not let a pedestrian on the street go.

    Then, when Hummer had just entered the next block, he finally noticed the first unusual situation:

    In front of a five-story building, the cordon has been pulled up at this time. A group of guards from the Silver Shield Security Company blocked all entrances and exits of the building. Several police cars parked in front of the cordon flashed red and blue on the roof. Lights.

    "Um?"

    Seeing this scene, Lin Chi stopped immediately and led the two NPCs to the entrance of the building.

    ¡ª¡ª Obviously something unexpected happened in this building. Based on Lin Chi''s years of gaming experience, this kind of place usually triggers "emergency missions" and the like.

    He walked quickly to the front of the cordon at the entrance of the building, looked at each other with the two guards who stood in front of the door, and asked, "What''s wrong?"

    "There is a group of armed gangs who have taken hostages and are demanding ransom!" The guard''s voice was very serious.

    While he was speaking, the long-lost task introduction appeared in Lin Chi''s taskbar:

    Start mission: rescue the hostages.

    Unknown gangsters in the apartment building took hostages and stubbornly resisted. Killing gangsters and successfully rescuing the hostages will greatly increase your prestige among the people.

    Task reward: 7000 US dollars, 100 prestige points.

    After reading the task introduction, Lin Chi suddenly came in and asked: "Can we go in and help?"

    If there is only a reward of seven thousand dollars, of course he is too lazy to take this task, but one hundred points of prestige is already equivalent to the prestige value obtained by killing the boss, and it is undoubtedly a very good reward.

    As the prestige value increases, the combat effectiveness of the ordinary mercenaries that the player can recruit will also increase accordingly. If this task is completed, it will undoubtedly be very helpful for the subsequent recruitment work.

    However, the guards of the Silver Shield would obviously not let them in easily:

    "Our people have already gone in, please don''t hinder us from performing our mission!" The black guard''s expression became solemn.

    "Oh? Can you really handle that group of gangsters?" Lin Chi showed a meaningful smile on his face.

    ¡ª¡ªIf these NPC guards can solve the bandits, there is no need for this task at all.

    Unsurprisingly, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the crisp sound of glass breaking upstairs. The bodies of three city guards were roughly thrown out of the windows on the fifth floor and landed on the sidewalk below.

    Snapped!

    The sound of the corpse falling to the ground seemed to give the guards present a loud slap in the face. The guard who had blocked Lin Chi just now also stunned like an eggplant smashed by frost.

    "You go in and have a try, we can no longer afford to lose more personnel."

    Hearing this, Lin Chi and the two behind him looked at each other and decisively crossed the cordon and walked into the dark building.

    ¡ª¡ªAlthough it¡¯s really not a good idea to take Crazy Ivan to save the hostages, but the "six-hour time limit" for this bomb mad is coming soon. If you don¡¯t let him vent, it would be a bad idea to find the building collapsed while saving the hostages. ...

    When Lin Chi and his two NPCs entered the corridor, another handsome young man also walked to the front of the building with great interest and stared at the body of the guard on the sidewalk nearby.

    The trousers and white shirt on him make this person look like a passing white-collar worker.

    And behind this "white-collar" was followed by a guy wearing a green bulletproof jacket and camouflage uniform with his face completely covered by a large eyepiece and face mask.

    There was a dangerous atmosphere in every gesture, like a battle-tested man.

    Professional soldier.

    "Ah, what is going on here?" the young man asked in a low voice.

    "The hostages were taken by the militants," the guard replied.

    As if seeing something, the young man was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the soldier following him, and asked, "I remember you said that I am very good at saving hostages?"

    "Of course, I was called the''hostage savior'' back then!" The soldier proudly raised his chest, took out a strange cylindrical object from his equipment bag, and shook it in front of own employer.

    "My equipment can be fixed on the wall, and I can directly break the wall and launch a grenade indoors. The gangsters in the house will be blown up before they can react, and then the hostages will be safe!"

    Hearing this, the young man frowned slightly and asked, "With this thing, won''t the hostages be blown up?"

    "No, the hostages are basically complete when they come out!" The soldier''s voice sounded confident.

    After thinking for a moment, the young "white-collar" finally gave the order:

    "Well, it''s up to you, let''s go and rescue the hostages."

 Chapter 49 Rescue Operation-2

    The gentle moonlight gleams on the entrance of the parking lot, reflecting the two impressions on the road that were crushed by the tank tracks.

    "Huh, finally relieved."

    The sweaty blond "maid", leaning on the tank''s khaki armor, stretched out his hand to pull open the collar and kept fanning in the wind: "It''s dying..."

    The black beard standing beside her was holding his own light machine gun with a gun shield, and looked around vigilantly.

    At this time, the M1A2 tank that raged in the chaotic city for nearly a day and night was parked in an underground parking lot on the outskirts of the city.

    Since no one completed the heroic mission of destroying the tank, this mission was judged as an "unfinished mission" by the game system after one day and ended directly. The two heroic NPCs from the Rainbow Six Weapon Store finally didn¡¯t have to drive tanks and ran aimlessly on the street...

    These two experienced "professional killers" even cleverly escaped the pursuit of the army and city guards!

    It stands to reason that these two guys who have regained their freedom should go to the bar to have a drink to celebrate, but looking at their faces now, they are more dignified than when they were hunted down.

    "Is it time to come?"

    Satya''s eyes curled in a long and narrow arc, with a little frustration in her tone: "This time we were discovered..."

    "I don''t know." Blackbeard said in a low voice, "They should be very busy now, they may not have time to control us."

    Before he finished his words, he saw the far end of the parking lot, and a vague human-shaped shadow appeared.

    "Can you stop talking next time? Your mouth is a Karma law weapon."

    After Satia complained to Blackbeard, he roughly reached into the collar and drew a gorgeous silver saber from the neckline, turning it in a circle at his fingertips.

    Under the hostile gaze of the two NPCs, a "man" wearing a brown cloak walked through the parking lot and approached them both.

    This mysterious guy didn''t even make any sound when he walked. The shadows under his feet seemed to be wriggling. It didn''t fit the tone of the map of Chaos City. Instead, it looked like an unnamed Devil from a horror game.

    Standing at a distance of five meters from the two of them, under the hood of the man in the cloak, which was covered by shadows, an unsentimental bass floated out:

    "You have violated the''rules''."

    "We didn''t mean it." Satya defended.

    "The criterion of judgment does not include the ¡®intentional¡¯ item." The man in the cloak stood motionless, like a horrible sculpture, and continued to accuse the two of them: "You have leaked secrets to outsiders."Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

    "It was just an accident, and the man didn''t hear anything!" Satya said grimly, "What age is it, can''t your conviction standards be more humane?"

    Before she could even finish her words, she twitched and fell to the ground with the black beard beside her.

    These two hero-level NPCs who once singled out the entire army by their own strength did not even have the strength to fight back. They were all spasm and foamed at the mouth, as if they had received Professor Yang''s electric shock treatment.

    "This is only a temporary punishment. If you continue to violate the rules, you may be dealt with." The man in the cloak turned and left without looking back, disappearing into the shadow behind the parking lot.

    "Damn..."

    After a long time, Satya finally regained consciousness, stood up and wiped the foam from the corners of her mouth, and cursed in a low voice: "One day I will kill them..."

    "Don''t dream." Blackbeard''s voice interrupted the maid''s delusion: "We can''t resist it alone."

    "What do you do next? Those bastards may come over again." Satya stared at own comrades.

    Up to now, the "rabid dog", who has always been known for his madness, has a rare trace of fear in his eyes.

    Blackbeard thought for a while and said, "I have an old friend in this city. Maybe we can go to him."

    "What old friend?" Satya asked.

    "The Russian soldier who participated in the exercise with me before, that kid''s bomb is terrible."

    Having said that, Blackbeard seemed to think of some interesting past, and couldn''t help but laugh out loudly: "At that time, every time he saved the hostages, every time he showed up, everyone else was so scared... At that time we were all called He is coming as a''hostage killer''."

    ...

    At the same moment, in the Beicheng District at the other end of the city, Lin Chi was walking up the stairs cautiously with two NPCs.

    Judging from the location where the guard body was thrown out, the gangsters should be hiding on the west side of the fifth floor, but there are probably gangsters on guard in other places. In order to ensure the safety of the hostages, we can''t take it lightly now.

    Lin Chi held his P226 pistol tightly in his right hand, and held the "laser pointer" in his left hand for summoning mercenaries, ready to summon seven mercenaries under his command to launch a surprise attack on the bandits.

    The girl behind him also drew out the pistol that had been used in the BOSS battle before, and looked around vigilantly.

    Lin Chi, who had seen the girl''s combat power before, was very assured of her ability, and did not leave her outside.

    In fact, the most unstable factor in the team right now is the bomb expert who is chattering at the back:

    "Where did people die?" Crazy Evan held a time bomb and knocked on the wall beside him impatiently.

    "Be quiet, we are here to save people, not to kill." Lin Chi turned around and motioned to the guy to keep quiet.

    The three of them went all the way to the fourth floor, and did not find any culprits in the corridor. It seems that the gangster who kidnapped the hostage should be hidden on the fifth floor of this building.

    Standing at the corner of the corridor on the fourth floor, Lin Chi turned his head and gave instructions in a faint voice:

    "You guys wait here, I''ll go up and have a look first."

    Then, he pulled out the extremely sharp "tiger claw" hunting knife, lowered his figure and crept up the stairs.

    After acquiring the passive skill Sabre Specialization, this knife is finally ready to use. Taking advantage of this mission, Lin Chi is also planning to test the strength of this epic saber.

    There were no lights on in the corridor, and the light was very dim. The light from the three flashlights shone back and forth, and it seemed that they should be patrolling gangsters.

    Lin Chi put on the night vision goggles, and the scene in front of him suddenly turned bright green. Not far away, three masked bandits patrolling with flashlights clearly appeared in his sight.

    "All right¡­¡­"

    He observed the enemy''s position, then held his saber and touched it silently.

    The nearest gangster apparently didn''t find any enemy close to the wall, still holding a flashlight against the wall, looking like a "professional kidnapper" at all.

    ¡ª¡ªHow did these guys kill the city guard?

    Although Lin Chi was puzzled, his hands were not idle. He suddenly got up and covered the opponent''s mouth and nose with his left hand. The saber in his right hand instantly pierced the opponent''s heart!

    "..."

    The culprit couldn''t even make any sound, and his body collapsed softly. The flashlight slipped weakly from his hand and fell to the ground and rolled twice.

    "Um?"

    Realizing that the situation is not right, two gangsters five meters away made a startled voice. The two had just turned around, Lin Chi had already put down the corpse, grabbed the torch that landed, and shook it in front of them¡ª¡ª

    The bright white light shot directly into the eyes, leaving a large mottled white shadow in the sight of the two culprits, making them blindfolded in a short time.

    Before they even had time to draw their guns, they felt that their throats were so hot that they could not breathe. They were covering the wound on their necks, and their bodies slowly fell against the wall...

    At the last moment when the two lost their consciousness, the last sight they saw was the back of a black-clothed man holding a saber.

    "goodbye."

    Lin Chi put away the hunting knife and said goodbye to the gangster who had just died in a weak voice.

    Quiet was restored in the corridor, and the gangster hiding in the room obviously did not notice that his companion outside was killed.

    Lin Chi was about to find the location of the hostage, but suddenly his body stiffened and stopped where he was.

    "what happened?"

    For some reason, a very bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

 Chapter 50-Rescue Operation -3

    It may sound unscientific, but for professional players, sometimes the sixth sense is also one of the basis for judging the situation.

    If you put it another way, it is the so-called "consciousness":

    Some players with good consciousness can perceive the opponent''s location before seeing the enemy, prepare for battle in advance, and even release their skills directly on the enemy hidden out of sight.

    Because in brain imaging games where it is almost impossible to cheat, it is impossible to perform behaviors such as "opening the whole picture".

    The players with "wonderful consciousness" are also suddenly less, and there are only a few talented guys, who can catch hidden enemies by feeling or judge the enemy''s tactics.

    And Lin Chi also happened to be within the scope of these few people.

    "Um?"

    Lin Chi frowned and looked around. Although he did not see the enemy, there was a bitter cold rising from the soles of his feet and quickly spreading to his whole body.

    It seems that some horrible guy is here, if you don¡¯t rescue the hostages quickly...

    Realizing that the situation is not good, Lin Chi immediately used his headset to notify the two subordinates who were still on the fourth floor, and asked them to come up quickly. He stepped forward slowly, walking quietly through the corridor, listening to every door. After the move.

    Before he found the location of the culprits and hostages, he heard the sound of a remote-controlled car coming from the other side of the corridor.

    He looked down and saw a slap-sized car approaching him with a miniature camera mounted on the body.

    The movement of the car body is a weird snake-like shape, as if the driver drank too much.

    "What is it?" Lin Chi cursed secretly in his heart.

    The noise made by this remote control car successfully disrupted his assassination. Before Lin Chi had time to deal with the ghost, a door on his right was suddenly pushed open, and a masked gangster protruded half of his body. Scolded: "What the hell are you guys doing? Noisy..."

    The culprit stopped abruptly before he finished speaking, because he had seen the corpse of his companion in the corridor through the light from the room!

    Click!

    Raising his hand and slitting the culprit''s throat, Lin Chi grasped the opponent''s arm abruptly and dragged the culprit''s body out of the room. There was a mess of screams and the sound of bullets being loaded from the room.Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.

    Seeing that he had been exposed, Lin Chi also drew out his pistol, blasting the damn remote control car with one shot, and after taking a deep breath, he suddenly stood in front of the door¡ª¡ª

    He hadn''t been able to see the situation in the room clearly. He only heard an excited male voice full of power, coming from directly below, like a thunderous sound:

    "Let me teach you how to save the hostages!"

    boom!

    With a loud noise and smog, Lin Chi was shocked by the shock wave erupting from the house, and his body slammed heavily against the wall on the other side of the corridor.

    Under his surprised gaze, the floor of the room where the gangsters were hiding fell apart like shattered glass. The female hostages who knelt in the middle of the room and screamed and the gangsters fleeing all fell down together with the floor. He fell directly into the fourth floor!

    "f**k, did you save the hostage like this!" Lin Chi cursed.

    He didn''t expect that even in this kind of battle royale game, he would encounter the existence of "pig teammates". But now, I can only try to remedy it...

    The girl holding the FN-57 pistol ran over immediately after hearing the explosion, staring at her big light green eyes, with a little worry in her voice: "Are you okay?"

    "It''s okay, but the hostage is going to die." Lin Chi said, stood up and moved his body, which was a little numb.

    "This explosion is not bad, and I have a fight!" Crazy Yiwen also walked into the corridor shrouded in thick smoke, with a nervous smile on his face.

    Seeing that the two subordinates were okay, Lin Chi immediately called the elite mercenaries and ordered them to block the corridors on both sides, and he strode towards the room where the explosion occurred.

    "What are you doing?" the girl asked in surprise.

    "Save people." Lin Chi''s answer was simple and clear.

    ¡ª¡ªIf the hostage is killed, the task he received should be judged as a failure immediately, but now that task is still in a complete state, it can only show that the hostage is still alive.

    Lin Chi took off the night vision goggles and held his breath, entered the smoke-filled room, and jumped directly from the big hole in the floor.

    As soon as he landed, he adhered to the principle of "everything is active is the enemy", and fired several shots at the blurred Daoist shadows in front of him, lighting up one of the pistol''s magazines.

    Seeing several people around him fall down, he quickly inspected the room and found no hostages, so he immediately rushed out of the room.

    As soon as he left the house, he saw a deadly fire shining in the aisle on the right hand side¡ª¡ª

    A rush of gunshots sounded, and Lin Chi returned to the messy room in embarrassment.

    The opponents also seemed to bring elite mercenaries, each of them was extremely accurate, and Lin Chi didn''t dare to show up at all.

    But even so, he has other ways:

    Lin Chi put away his pistol, took out the anti-material sniper rifle, and was silent for two seconds. After judging the location of the opponent''s gunfire, he decisively fired at the diagonally forward wall.

    boom!

    The powerful bullet instantly created a washbasin-sized hole in the wall.

    After continuously blasting through two walls, it directly hit the head of a mercenary who was firing.

    The brutal impact ruthlessly destroyed the head of the mercenary, and by the way, he flew back three meters with the headless corpse, and fell heavily to the ground!

    "Go to hell," Lin Chi whispered.

    ¡ª¡ªBecause his gorgeous "Assassination Operation" was ruined and the hostages were also taken away by other players, his mood at this time was not too good.

    He knew that he had other more important things to deal with, and he didn''t have the time to waste time in such a horrible place. And more importantly...

    There was another loud noise, and the second enemy elite mercenary was shot and killed. The remaining two ran to the rear stairway when they saw the situation. They were bombarded by Lin Chi''s elite mercenaries before they could go downstairs. Broken his head.

    The black-clothed man holding the anti-material sniper rifle in his arms seemed to have scarlet blood in his eyes, gritted his teeth and made an angry voice, and said the main reason for his anger:

    "You are wasting daddy''s precious sleep time..."

    According to his original estimate, after recruiting mercenaries and purchasing body armor, there should be a period of time left to sleep. It now appears that that period of time is undoubtedly getting shorter and shorter...

    Lin Chi walked out of the smoky room and stood in the corridor looking for the whereabouts of the hostages, but did not see anyone.

    There is no elevator installed in this five-story building, and the elite mercenaries who blocked the corridors on both sides did not see anyone. If the player did not escape from the window, he should be taking a hostage and hiding on the fourth floor. In a certain room.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi said loudly: "Come out, I might be able to spare your life."

    In fact, he didn''t even believe this-in this kind of death competition with only one winner, it is impossible for anyone to leave the life of the enemy player!

    Unexpectedly, a wooden door at the far end of the corridor opened slowly.

    A handsome young man wearing a shirt and trousers walked out of the door and stood in the corridor, looking at Lin Chi at the other end of the corridor. Then¡­¡­

    "Can I fight you?"

    The young man said, bowing very politely.

 Chapter 51 Playing GG in laughter

    "Oh?"

    Upon hearing the other''s naive remarks, Lin Chi asked with great interest: "What if I refuse?"

    ¡ª¡ªIn this Death competition, the gameplay of "duel" is completely unreasonable. Using all the forces under your hand, gang fights are the correct way to open.

    However, Lin Chi could see that the young man in front of him seemed to be serious:

    "If you refuse, my subordinates will kill the hostages, so your mission will fail?" The delicate young man smiled and said dangerously: "How about this bargaining chip?"

    "Do you think I would care about a task?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

    Despite what he said, he increased his vigilance and whispered several orders to his own followers.

    ¡ª¡ªIn fact, the 100 points of prestige provided by this mission are still more important to him now. Besides, some characteristics of this hostile player made Lin Chi even more concerned:

    This person seems to be very "empty"...

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi took the hunting knife from his pocket and turned it around his fingertips twice, bringing out a gorgeous afterimage:

    "A knife or a gun?" he asked.

    Hearing this, the young man''s eyes seemed to flicker, and then he immediately replied, "Of course it is a knife."

    "Okay..." Lin Chi smiled, raised the "tiger paw" in his hand to block his chest, and made a fighting start.

    Under his alert gaze, the young man also pulled out an M9 saber and walked forward slowly.

    Seeing the other person approaching slowly, Lin Chi also walked a few steps forward, and then he noticed the corner of the man''s mouth with an imperceptible smile.

    "Do it!" the young man shouted.

    boom!

    A violent explosion burst out from the doorway on the left side of Lin Chi''s body, causing him to instantly disappear into the air wave.

    After the door panel was blown up, the soldier who claimed to be experienced in rescuing hostages strode out and said with a smile: "I said, killing people by walls is my specialty..."

    ¡ª¡ªThis Russian soldier, who was once a member of the famous anti-terrorist unit "Rainbow Squad", is famous for his scattering bombs that can break through walls and kill people.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.

    He has killed hostages by manslaughter countless times during the exercise, which made his teammates and hostages frightened.

    Won the title of "hostage killer". but¡­¡­

    "I will still save the hostages! Are you okay?"

    The soldier turned his head proudly and looked at the scarred and scared female hostage in the room. Although she had a lot of wounds in the explosion just now, she still saved her life tenaciously by relying on the will to survive...

    The hostage''s eyes widened in horror, staring at the soldier''s face hidden by the mask and eyepieces, and whispered: "Can you send me back? I want to be kidnapped for a while..."

    Hearing this, the soldier''s voice became solemn: "Damn gangster, have you tortured the hostages to a state of insanity?"

    Then, in the explosion smoke screen in the corridor, a low voice like a death knell suddenly sounded, answering his question:

    "No, I think you scared her stupid."

    Click!

    Lin Chi''s figure emerged from the explosion smoke screen like a ghost, broke the neck of the soldier who was too late to react, and then dodged sideways into the room where the hostages were. There was a burst of gunfire in the corridor.

    ¡ª¡ªOf course he wouldn¡¯t be so stupid as to really believe the other party¡¯s ¡°duel with a knife¡± remarks. He had already seen through that guy¡¯s strategy. He had just entered the house and immediately ordered the elite mercenaries who blocked the stairs on both sides:

    "Encircle them from both sides!"

    Before the words fell, rapid gunfire broke out on both sides of the corridor.

    Lin Chi knew that the opponent was also employing elite mercenaries, but in the previous battle, the elite mercenaries under this person had already lost several people. In addition, his subordinates were outflanking this guy. He is not his own opponent now. !

    Unsurprisingly, the player was beaten and retreated into a nearby room. Seeing this scene, Lin Chi waved his hand to signal the surrounding mercenaries to cease fire, and then stood by the door and smiled:

    "Don''t think that only you have a blasting expert."

    His voice seemed to have triggered some mechanism. From the room where the young man was hiding, a roar suddenly erupted, and the whole corridor began to tremble again, and a choking white mist floated under the locked front door of the room... ¡­

    Ten seconds later, Crazy Ivan, who was blackened all over, opened the door from the inside and made an inviting gesture to Lin Chi:

    "already solved!"

    Noting that there was no kill prompt popped up in front of his eyes, Lin Chi walked into the messy living room and saw the young man leaning weakly on the sofa, his whole body covered with blood.

    There is no doubt that the negative effects of disability and bleeding have been hung on this person, and even if he is left alone, he will not live for a few minutes.

    Seeing Lin Chi walk into the room, the young man sighed weakly: "As expected of the''reverse current'', I know I can''t beat you."

    "I know what you are thinking, but it is better to be a little confident when playing games." Lin Chi smiled.

    As an equally empty fellow, he can see that this player is also his own "kind".

    Because of this, Lin Chi would be merciful to this person, otherwise he would have killed the person long ago. Lin Chi also casually gave a piece of advice to this guy who was somewhat similar to himself:

    "Next time it''s best not to recruit such unreliable NPCs, because saving the hostages will kill you."

    He raised the pistol and pulled the trigger at the player.

    As the opponent''s body turned into fragments and disappeared, the kill prompt finally popped out:

    The player "Shadow of the Void" was killed by the player "Upstream"!

    After solving the enemy, Lin Chi took the hostages back downstairs and handed the panicked woman to the city guard who was guarding the door.

    A guard looked up at the apartment building that had just experienced three explosions and was still emitting heavy smoke, and said, "Are you really here to save people?"

    "do not mind the details."

    Lin Chi opened the taskbar as he said, and looked at the prompt that the task was completed:

    The mission "rescue the hostages" has been completed!

    You received $7,000 and 100 points of prestige.

    ¡ª¡ªAfter gaining 100 points of prestige, the quality of mercenaries he can recruit is undoubtedly higher than before.

    As there were other things to deal with, Lin Chi didn''t make more stops near the apartment building, but continued to drive to the location of Greek.

    The current time is nine o''clock in the evening, and the scanning time is generally during the day. There should be at least ten hours left before the next full-band scan arrives.

    These ten hours are completely enough to recruit ordinary mercenaries, plus purchase body armor.

    However, the more critical question now is, where to recruit special and heroic NPCs?

    Looking at the night scenes passing by on both sides of the street, Lin Chi casually asked the two in the car: "Do you have any more ¡®powerful¡¯ friends? I need to recruit some subordinates now."

    "No!" Crazy Yiwen''s answer was very decisive.

    Hearing his question, the girl from the slum sitting in the passenger seat was lost in thought.

    "Do you have any ideas?" Lin Chi asked the girl.

    "I know a place, there may be the kind of people you need." The girl said seriously.

 Chapter 52 Dark Tower

    Even in places like the City of Chaos, there are prisons.

    On the outskirts of the east side of the city, stands a heavily guarded circular building. Although it is only three stories high, it resembles the shape of an ancient Roman amphitheater, plus the blood stains on the black walls, still makes the building feel full of oppression.

    This ring-shaped building is called the "Dark Tower" by the residents of the City of Chaos.

    The reason why it was given this name is not only because of its appearance, but more importantly, the "residents" in this building are the most notorious felons in the City of Chaos.

    From cannibal psychologists to serial murderers who shocked the world, only the craziest murderers are eligible to enter the "Dark Tower".

    Over time, not only the guards of the prison, but even the officials accepted the name of the Dark Tower. On the high wall outside the prison building, there were even a few more billboards "Welcome to the Dark Tower"...

    The flaming Porsche 911 drove into the parking lot next to the high wall of the dark tower. Lin Chi pushed the car door and got out of the car, staring closely at the gray wall that stood in front of him, which was five meters high.

    It was 11:30 in the night, and he had hired twenty ordinary mercenaries from Greck and sent these mercenaries to the barracks on standby.

    By the way, I also purchased a large number of body armor, so that Crazy Yiwen, who had just been bombed once and was in a satisfied state, transported the body armor back to the barracks.

    After completing these steps, the money Lin Chi got from the lion gang''s vault was almost all spent, and once again entered a state of poverty.

    Then, under the recommendation of the girl, he arrived at this place where "may have powerful people"...

    "So, this is the prison you recommended me to come to?" Lin Chi turned to look at the girl in a pleated skirt.

    "Yeah, there must be someone you need here!" The girl nodded hurriedly.

    "The question is, are you sure I can go in directly to find someone?" Lin Chi frowned.

    The high walls of this prison are all equipped with power grids, and the main entrance is equipped with three automatic machine guns and a heavy metal door.

    Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

    Looking at the blue and white lights that jump on the metal door from time to time, it is obviously electrified.

    The level of security is higher than the military bases previously occupied by Frankenstein.

    Under the protection of a golden soup, even if a sneak master of SNAKE''s level is sent, it is difficult to sneak into this building, let alone all the equipment used for murder, Lin Chi who has no sneaking equipment.

    "No need to sneak in." The girl winked at him slyly: "Just go in directly."

    "How to get in?" Lin Chi asked.

    "I heard that when I was in the slum, the Silver Shield Company seemed to be losing a lot recently, so it started to mark the price clearly and sell the prisoners in the dark tower."

    The girl solemnly said lines that were completely inconsistent with her "innocent" appearance: "The stupid bodyguard I killed seems to have come out of the dark tower!"

    "Is there anything like this?" Lin Chi immediately became interested when he heard this.

    ¡ª¡ªThe prison openly sells criminals who are extremely sinful. This kind of frenzied plot can probably only appear in the game.

    Lin Chi knew that if it was what the girl said, she might really be able to recruit special or hero-level desperadoes in this prison. But the problem now is...

    "I have no money." He told the truth.

    "Ah? Aren''t you rich? I don''t think you blinked when you spent money today!" The girl made a surprised voice.

    "That''s why I have no money now." Lin Chi smiled.

    Although there were only five thousand dollars left on him, he did not leave directly, but strode towards the main entrance of the Dark Tower.

    According to his many years of gaming experience, certain tasks or BOSS battles are usually hidden in this kind of building.

    Lin Chi led the girl to the front gate outside the high wall, and opened the mouth to the city guard who was patrolling the gate: "I''m here to''see the goods''."

    Since he didn''t know how the normal "customers" got in, he could only react accordingly.

    Hearing what he said, the guards at the door suddenly cast distrustful glances: "All goods inspections require appointments. Today we did not receive any appointments."

    "Oh, I''m an insider." Lin Chi continued to lie neatly, took out the ID card of the Silver Shield Security Company from his pocket, and shook it in front of the guard.

    According to the item introduction, this card should be able to fool the security guard of Silver Shield four times. At present, he has only used it twice, and there are two remaining uses.

    "Oh, my own person."

    Seeing the ID card in his hand, the guards in front of the door thought suspiciously for a while before opening the small door on the side: "Come in."

    Lin Chi and the girl passed through the side door and entered the deserted yard in front of the Dark Tower.

    There were also many guards in the yard who were patrolling back and forth with guns in their arms.

    Several large searchlights kept shining around in the yard, not letting go of any blind spots.

    It seems that to escape from this prison is simply an impossible task.

    And when he stepped into the yard, Lin Chi suddenly stopped.

    Because at this time, in his vision, scarlet characters that only he can see have popped up:

    "Warning, you are now entering the danger zone."

    "Please note that if you die in the danger zone, you will drop all epic and legendary equipment on you."

    ¡ª¡ªA player killed in a normal area only has a chance to explode the high-level equipment on his body, not 100% of it will drop.

    And in this so-called "dangerous zone", once you die, all epic and legendary equipment on your body will immediately fall out!

    "It''s kind of interesting..." Lin Chi laughed.

    He knew that as long as he was hung up within the range of the Dark Tower, he wouldn''t want the tiger claw hunting knife and anti-material sniper rifle on his body. However, such strict rules aroused his interest.

    ¡ª¡ªNo game will randomly set up this kind of danger zone. The greater the danger, the greater the opportunity.

    What "treasure" is hidden in this prison?

    Lin Chi strode across the bare yard and stood in front of the main entrance of the dark tower. After explaining his intentions to the two guards who were guarding the door, he took a blue card from them and quickly scanned the items. introduce:

    Dark Tower customer ID card.

    Mission props.

    Item level: Normal.

    As a proof of being a customer of the Dark Tower, this ID card allows you to move freely in the Dark Tower, but please be careful not to get too close to the cell door-any prisoner in this dangerous prison There are a hundred ways to take your life through the prison door!

    "Ha, I want to see if they are so good."

    Lin Chi said as he pushed open the heavy alloy door in front of him and stepped into the cold and damp prison building.

 Chapter 53 "The Killer" Arrives

    Although it looks gloomy from the outside, the interior of the dark tower is exceptionally bright. Dozens of incandescent lamps are neatly arranged on the ceiling, reflecting the cold steel passage below.

    In order to prevent someone from breaking out of prison, Lin Chi noticed that there was a camera within five meters of the prison¡¯s passage. Infrared sensing devices and vibration detectors were installed inside. Even if a mouse ran out, it would trigger an alarm.

    When Lin Chi came in front of the "detection net" composed of red light, the sensing device was turned off for a short time, and the light disappeared without a trace.

    "Ha, is it because of this pass." He looked at the "Dark Tower Customer ID Card" in his hand.

    ¡ª¡ªWith this pass, you can turn off the automatic detection device inside the Dark Tower. Presumably the criminals detained here must have tried their best to get this stuff.

    Lin Chi led the girl through the shut-off optical network, and just after two steps out, the device started up again. At this moment, in the cell closest to him, an extremely angry roar came out:

    "Give me what you have!"

    Hearing this, Lin Chi stood in front of the cell and observed the scene inside with great interest.

    The walls and cell doors inside the dark tower are made of silver alloy, which seems to be able to withstand the direct shooting of tank guns.

    Above the prison door, a small window less than 0.5 meters wide was installed, which was divided into several pieces by a fence. An angry face appeared behind the window, and the face was painted with a hideous red tattoo, like a cut. Open the skin to expose the blood vessels.

    "Oh? You want this?" Lin Chi picked up the ID card and shook it in front of the window.

    The other party¡¯s brown eyes were wide open, as if flames burst into his eyes, but unlike the ID card item introduction, this guy didn¡¯t perform any ¡°killing through the window¡± stunt, but kept hitting him from inside. The door looks stupid.

    Lin Chi stared at the person for a few seconds, and didn''t see any text indicating special or hero-level NPCs. Realizing that the other party was just an "ordinary criminal", he put away the ID card and said with a smile: "Goodbye."

    There was already a mentally unstable guy like Crazy Yiwen in the team, and Lin Chi didn''t want to hire an ordinary NPC who was also a lunatic. Of course, if it''s a special or hero-level NPC, it can be accepted even if it is crazy...

    Lin Chi and the girl walked through the first floor of the dark tower together, observing the residents in the cell-this place is more like a mental hospital than a prison, filled with various "demon ghosts", and the madness lingers in the circular corridor go.

    But...in the entire first floor, Lin Chi couldn''t find any interesting characters.

    Many of the cells here are already empty, and the remaining part is also detaining "ordinary criminals." Although they look fierce, they do not meet Lin Chi''s criteria for selecting talents this time.

    "What about the special character?" He grumbled casually.

    "I don''t know..." The girl hurriedly grasped the skirt corners: "I am here for the first time."

    "I didn''t mean to blame you." Lin Chi smiled and touched the little girl''s head comfortably.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.

    Judging from the cell that was half empty, this prison was supposed to contain many qualified criminals, but now they have all disappeared.

    Although it is possible that they were all hired by the players, Lin Chi didn''t think that on the second day of the game, someone would earn enough money to hire so many NPCs.

    So, where did these criminals go?

    Lin Chi thought about it as he walked up the stairs, and happened to meet a guard who was going downstairs, so he took out one hundred dollars and stuffed it into the opponent''s hand, and asked, "Where are the criminals here? Are they all sold? Right?"

    Because of Lin Chi''s high prestige value, his questioning process was also exceptionally smooth. The guard answered almost immediately:

    "No, we only sold a few people..."

    "Where did the other criminals go?" Lin Chi continued to ask.

    "I remember that about three months ago, a weird man in a brown cloak came over.

    It was strange that the warden personally led the man to inspect the prison.

    When the man left, he took a lot of prisoners away, what he said. ''Increase entertainment''.

    We don''t know what he is talking about..."

    The guard scratched his head.

    "Oh, I see." Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.

    ¡ª¡ªIt sounds like the prisoner here was released by a guy wearing a cloak. Although the guard described a bit like a "Frankenstein", Frankenstein has only entered this game for two days, and it should not be three months. Just appeared before...

    What is the origin of this "cloak man" that the guard said? Could it be a special task NPC, or something else? What does this man in the cloak mean by "increasing entertainment"?

    Realizing that not only did I fail to solve the problem, but more questions appeared. Lin Chi sighed and took the girl up to the second floor of the Dark Tower.

    ¡ª¡ªThe third full-band scan is coming. Now is not the time to "solve the mystery". After you have killed the Frankenstein who threatens you the most, there is time to investigate the mystery in the game.

    After turning around on the second floor of the Dark Tower, he still didn''t see any special and heroic NPCs. Like the first floor, the cells here were a lot vacant. It was obvious that many prisoners were taken away by the man in the cloak.

    Lin Chi, who was full of question marks, stepped onto the third floor in a daze. The prisoners on this floor were even rarer, and there were only a few people left.

    But this time, he finally found the "talent" he needed in a cell at the end of the corridor:

    Different from ordinary prison cells, the interior of this cell is obviously larger, and it has been luxuriously decorated. It looks like the bedroom of a wealthy man''s house.

    The house has all kinds of electrical appliances. The coffee table is full of flowers and snacks. There are a few Cuban cigars next to the ashtray. The most violent thing is that there is a blond woman lying on the double bed behind...

    "Are you here to go to jail or on holiday?" Lin Chi smiled at the man sitting at the desk with his back to Own.

    "..."

    The other party didn''t answer immediately, but turned his head in silence to meet Lin Chi''s eyes.

    It was a gray-haired man with a tired face, his jacket looked a little shabby, and there were thick dark circles under his eyes. Life that never sees the sky all the year round makes his complexion as pale as an unknown girl, and with scarlet eyes, he looks a bit like a vampire.

    As he turned his head, a red skull and text prompt popped out, marking the person''s identity:

    "Executioner", a hero-level character (boss-level), recruitable (tasks required to be completed).

    "I''m going, how can I recruit a leader-level character?" Lin Chi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

    He was still wondering how Frankenstein recruited BOSS-level characters such as the mechanical ninja "Gray Fox", and now this problem has finally been solved...

    Some of the boss-level characters in this game are also recruitable!

    Realizing that he was facing a BOSS who could be recruited, Lin Chi immediately became interested and asked straightforwardly: "Are you interested in joining my camp?"

    The man called the executioner still did not speak, but shook his head with a tired face, looking like an image spokesperson who "feeled his body hollowed out".

    "Why is this role?" Lin Chi complained.

    For him, this kind of stuffy Calabash is a more difficult character to deal with than a mentally deranged lunatic. Lin Chi had no idea what to do to recruit this person when the other party did not give him a task.

    It seems that if you want to recruit this guy, you need to find other ways...

    When Lin Chi was thinking about it, he only heard a scream coming from the direction of the corridor, which sounded like it came from one floor.

    "Um?"

    Before he could speak, the executioner who had been silent finally spoke, his voice hoarse and languid, as if he had just woken up:

    "It''s going to start."

    "What started?" Lin Chi stared at the man in the cell.

    The executioner didn''t say much, but a warning text suddenly appeared in the lower right corner of Lin Chi''s sight:

    ¡ª¡ªThe prerequisite task has been completed, and the BOSS battle "killer" has been triggered!

    The administrator of this dark tower is even more evil than the criminals inside.

    The regular entertainment activities here are to release all the prisoners and avoid the "killers" inside the enclosed building! Even the desperadoes in the dark tower shiver when facing the "killer".

    Please note that the "killer" will give priority to the unseen faces.

    "Damn, when did I complete the prerequisites?" Lin Chi vomited.

    Even though he was quite critical of this unexpected BOSS battle, he opened his briefcase, took out the pistol and held it in his hand:

    ¡ª¡ªIt seems that my previous inference is correct. In this dangerous area, there is indeed a BOSS battle hidden!

    As the BOSS battle was triggered, the door of the Dark Tower was still locked, the security measures inside the building were all closed, and the doors of all the cells began to open slowly.

    The strange thing is that no prisoner left the cell, even the tattooed man who was the most lovable just now closed his mouth obediently!

    "Are you interested in fighting with me?" Lin Chi looked at the executioner who was still sitting at the table.

    "Not interested." The other party''s answer was simple and rude.

    "Okay..." Lin Chi did not continue to ask, but stared at the other side of the circular corridor vigilantly.

    He could feel that the "killer" seemed to have arrived.

 Chapter 54: The Shadow of the Killer

    There was silence in the circular corridor inside the Dark Tower. Before the entrance and exit were closed, the guards who had patrolled inside had already retreated.

    Although the doors of all the cells were opened, the crazy desperadoes inside had no intention of running away. They all hid in the corner of the cell and shivered, and some even hid under the bed.

    ¡ª¡ªHe was a murderer who didn''t blink, but now he has become a weak lamb.

    There is no doubt that what is enough to shock them is definitely an extremely cruel existence!

    "You stay here."

    Lin Chi motioned to the girl next to him to hide in an unmanned cell next to him, while he raised his pistol and was ready to shoot at any time.

    This time the BOSS was completely different from the previous "Burning Shield". There was no time to prepare, and it was triggered without warning. And inside the Dark Tower, it happens to belong to a dangerous area where equipment will inevitably explode after death...

    In other words, if Lin Chi dies now, whether it is the special NPC recruited in the first game or the epic equipment collected, it will immediately disappear!

    But even so...

    Facing an unknown and dangerous enemy, Lin Chi did not show any fear at all. Instead, he became serious again. He immediately became more energetic. Compared with the lazy look that seemed to be falling asleep at any time, it was like a change. one person.

    After all, in his opinion, playing games is to challenge the strong to be interesting, and "fancy abuse of food" has no sense of accomplishment at all.

    "Come and have fun."

    He drew out the hunting knife with his left hand, and continued to hold the gun with his right hand. He walked forward cautiously while listening to the movement behind him.

    The corridor inside the dark tower is a closed circular structure, and there is no other route except the stairway and the only entrance on the first floor.

    In such a narrow environment, even if the elite mercenaries are summoned, it will not have a very good effect.

    After the appearance of the BOSS named "Killer", all alarm devices in the corridor except for the cameras were turned off, and the incandescent lamps were also extinguished by more than half, making the alloy corridors suddenly darkened.

    However, this light environment naturally has no effect on Lin Chi.

    After walking a few steps forward and making sure that there were no enemies nearby, he opened the briefcase as quickly as possible, took out the binocular night vision device used in the warehouse last time, put it on and quickly turned on the switch.

    As the night vision device started to work, the scene in front of Lin Chi suddenly brightened.

    Then, with his eyes turned green, he saw a man in a black suit suddenly appeared right in front of him!

    Seeing the sudden appearance of the enemy, Lin Chi''s reaction speed was surprisingly fast. He drew his gun and pointed it at the opponent''s head. Just when he pulled the trigger, the guy suddenly bent over and rushed in front of him.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

    boom!

    The gunshots of P226 reverberated in the circular corridor. The bald man avoided the bullet, teleported to Lin Chi at a terrifying speed, grabbed his right arm and twisted it hard!

    Just hearing a "click" sound, Lin Chi''s right arm suddenly felt weak, and the pistol was immediately released, and a "crippled" prompt appeared in the status bar:

    Your right arm is disabled, your right arm has been dislocated!

    Because the game weakened the pain, Lin Chi did not feel the strong pain.

    Seeing that the opponent was about to break Own''s neck, he kicked the opponent''s waist heavily, kicking the enemy into two retreated steps. Taking this opportunity, he dragged his right arm like noodles and rushed up, and his left hand slashed towards the enemy''s throat!

    The sharp silver light of "Tiger Claw" flashed in the corridor, and the person in black still reacted at an astonishing speed, flashing to the right to avoid the knife.

    But what the man in black didn''t know was that the extremely sharp hunting knife in Lin Chi''s hand was not safe as long as he avoided it!

    At that moment, Lin Chi activated this epic saber''s own skill-"Bleeding", his body moved like a godly aid under the system bonus, and he slashed a knife on the shoulder of the man in black, the blade almost Without feeling any resistance, he cut open the opponent''s muscles.

    Wow!

    An exaggerated pillar of blood spurted from the shoulder of the bald man in black. The man in black who was planning to continue to attack immediately covered the spurted left shoulder with his right hand, retreated like a ghost, and disappeared in the shadow of the circular corridor.

    Taking advantage of the opposing party''s retreat, Lin Chi immediately grabbed his right arm with his left hand and lifted it upward.

    With another click, he forced his right arm into the disabled state to return to its place, and the words "right arm disabled" flashing in the status bar finally disappeared.

    "It''s pretty strong..."

    He muttered thoughtfully and moved his own right arm.

    No matter how realistic the brain imaging game is, the body in the game is much more "reliable" than the real world. If the dislocation is in the real world, he will probably go to the hospital immediately, and dare not use this brutal method for treatment at all.

    Moreover, once the injured part in the game recovers, there will be no sequelae. After Lin Chi''s right arm was returned to his position, it can be said that it was directly restored to perfect condition.

    However, what he cares more about now is not his injury, but--

    "The bald head in a black suit? Could it be..."

    Recalling a certain "47" who was famous in the killer world, Lin Chi suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart: If the opponent is really the legendary killer, he might have to go through a hard fight.

    However, in Lin Chi''s view, although the black-clothed bald man was very fast, he was actually not that powerful. Basically equivalent to the level of a general professional player, there is still a gap compared with myself.

    "Could it be his''brother''?"

    Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and stared at the blood marks on the ground in front of the corridor.

    ¡ª¡ªThe legendary Assassin 47 are clone soldiers from Romania. These clones that were cultivated to be used as killing machines do not belong to own name, only a digital code name.

    Although 47 killed almost all of his "brothers" and killed the doctor who carried out the cloning project, this cloning project may have produced some other clone soldiers. If this is the case...

    "As long as you kill one, you can figure out his background."

    Realizing this, Lin Chi smiled, picked up the pistol that fell on the ground, suddenly turned around and fired three shots without warning!

    "Well¡­¡­"

    A black-clothed man who was about to attack him let out a muffled snort, clutching his chest and stepped back.

    Before this person could run two steps, Lin Chi had lowered his figure and rushed in front of him, swinging a knife to his heart!

    ¡ª¡ªAfter the first battle, Lin Chi has already begun to enter the state. As a professional player with a good sense of consciousness, his sixth sense has been effective again when his spirit is strained to the limit. Pointed out the position of the enemy behind him.

    Maybe it''s because of the subtle changes in the light, or maybe it''s because it''s too quiet behind me. Even Lin Chi didn''t know how he discovered this enemy.

    But-there is only one thing that needs to be done, and that is to end the killer''s life!

    The moment Lin Chi took the knife, a bullet accurately hit the back of "Tiger Claw", shaking his left hand slightly. Although the saber didn''t get rid of his hand, the injured bald man in black had already turned around and escaped by this opportunity.

    "How many people are there in this group of bastards?" Lin Chi frowned.

    As if hearing what he was thinking, in the lower right corner of his vision, a few lines of prompts popped up again:

    The identity of the BOSS has been determined:

    Code-named 49, hero-level NPC (leader-level).

    Code 49 is the last batch of clone killers produced in a genetic engineering research institute disguised as a mental hospital in Romania, with a total of ten people.

    Each of them has undergone five years of rigorous training and injected a lot of intensive drugs. Never hesitate, never pity, even if he is seriously injured, he will not give up his mission. It is a killing machine dressed in a human cloak.

    After reading the BOSS introduction, Lin Chi soon realized that he was now in a state of "I want to hit ten."

    But despite this, he did not immediately summon elite mercenaries to come to help out, but couldn''t help but laugh out:

    "Are there only ten people in total?"

    ¡ª¡ªAccording to his calculations, in such a narrow space, at most, he would only face four people from two sides at the same time.

    And according to the enemy data collected through a brief encounter from the previous battle. If he exerts his full strength, he can kill at least twenty clone killers of this level!

    Mindful of this, the "countercurrent" standing in the gloomy corridor, once again held a knife in one hand and a gun in one hand, in a posture of close combat, and walked slowly along the corridor, leaving only one sentence that sounded arrogant. Speech:

    "Don''t hide, I will let you see where the limits of the ¡®pro player¡¯ are..."

 Chapter 55-Conqueror of the Dark Tower

    In brain imaging games that directly use mind control, the level of operation is naturally not mainly reflected in the speed of the hand like the old games.

    To control the own character in this kind of game using brain-computer interface technology is basically the same as controlling the body in the real world.

    You only need to control the body to move freely through consciousness.

    To open various interfaces and release skills, you only need to operate through your mind.

    Those who are not familiar with this type of game may think that in this type of game, the player''s combat effectiveness will not make much difference.

    After all, in their opinion, all players in brain imaging games, as long as they are not mentally retarded or unresponsive, almost all stand on the same starting line.

    but it is not the truth.

    ¡ª¡ªIn this type of game, some people become god-tier and some people become rookie. Even when the equipment and attributes are exactly the same, someone can ruthlessly torture opponents!

    In fact, to become a top player in brain imaging games, the first thing you need is reaction speed.

    The faster the reaction speed is, the more quickly the own virtual body can be manipulated to make movements-the virtual body in the game will not suffer from backaches and leg cramps as it does in the real world. .

    As long as the player issues an instruction to "make an action" in his consciousness, he can respond instantly.

    In addition, the familiarity with combat is also a very important factor. Even with the limitation of proficiency, those veterans who have been on the battlefield can master the combat skills in the game faster than the underage girl player.

    In addition to combat skills, elements such as strategy and awareness in ordinary games are also the watershed that determines the strength of a player.

    But what most players don''t know is that in addition to these elements on the bright side, there are other "hidden elements" that determine the strength of the player!

    The man walking down the circular corridor on the third floor of the Dark Tower, wearing a shabby city guard windbreaker, was still staring at the alloy floor under his feet as he slowly moved forward.

    His appearance seems to be full of flaws, the clone killer hiding in the corridor also immediately seized this opportunity to try to kill him, but¡ª

    boom!

    This person raised his hand with a shot, and the bullet blasted into the head of the killer who was trying to sneak attack from behind. The bald man in a black suit fell down with staring eyes. He didn''t know how the other party discovered own until he died!

    After solving a killer, Lin Chi continued to walk forward slowly. When he reached a cell diagonally in front of him, he suddenly pulled out a hunting knife without warning, turned and leaped past the door, only to see a killer standing. In the room, raised a gun and fired at himself¡ª¡ªThe tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

    The assassin who didn''t expect the opponent to jump from the door at all, hit the wall with three shots. Before he could fire the fourth shot, Lin Chi had already appeared in front of him like a god of death!

    The tiger-claw hunting knife that was so sharp that it cut off the opponent''s head directly, Lin Chi kicked the headless corpse to the ground, squinted and smiled, and then began to move slowly:

    "Don''t hide, kids..."

    A kind smile appeared on his blood-stained cheeks. Although there was only one person, it was like an oppressive "one-man army", even suppressing ten leader-level killers!

    At this time, the prison guards who watched the "live broadcast" through the camera lens outside the Dark Tower were all dumbfounded. They could not even dream that this guy who claimed to be a customer had such a terrifying combat power!

    A guard was silent for a while, and squeezed a shocked voice from his throat:

    "There is still this kind of operation?"

    Before he could say anything, the young man caught by the camera took the life of another killer.

    At the moment when the assassin attacked, this person had already fired directly. This reaction speed had already surpassed the limit of human beings, and it was as if he had known the enemy was hiding there a long time ago.

    Even a well-trained clone killer can''t react like this at all!

    Seeing this scene, the guards were going crazy. Some people even gave up treatment and asked questions about mental retardation:

    "Can he see through?"

    "Don''t be bullshit, the walls in the dark tower are made of alloy, and thermal imaging mirrors can''t be observed across the wall!" another guard whispered.

    In the environment inside the dark tower, it is impossible to "lock the enemy through the wall". If you use equipment such as drones and sensors, it is possible to determine the enemy''s position in advance. The man did not arrange such equipment.

    So, how did he accurately predict the location of each killer''s hiding place?

    These guys, who are NPCs, are naturally impossible to know how to operate the player. In fact, even an ordinary player, seeing Lin Chi''s current appearance, would be confused and full of question marks.

    ¡ª¡ªHis appearance looks unprepared, his eyes are even staring at the ground, seemingly in a state of full of flaws, but he has achieved a terrifying "absolute defense"!

    Lin Chi raised his hand and smashed a lamp above his head, and the two killers hidden in the front of the corridor immediately began to retreat.

    After seeing the enemy''s fighting methods, even these cold-blooded killers felt the fear that had long since disappeared.

    It''s a pity that when facing the unstoppable god of death, even if he escaped, it only temporarily delayed Death''s speed!

    Lin Chi, who was walking slowly, threw out a carbon steel saber without looking back, and nailed it through the chest of the assassin who just leaned out behind him to shoot.

    In less than three minutes, he had already taken the lives of four assassins and forced the remaining six people of "Code 49" to leave the third floor with his own power, and retreated to the second floor of the Dark Tower in embarrassment. .

    Realizing that the enemy had retreated, Lin Chi took a deep breath, and finally raised his head again, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

    At this time, he also temporarily lifted his own "limit state". After all, he has been maintaining this state. The burden on the brain is really too large...

    ¡ª¡ªAs the first pioneers to use brain imaging equipment, the equipment used by their group of people is actually different from the equipment used by the later players.

    Because the early brain-computer interface technology was not mature, the devices used by the first pioneers were in fact extremely sensitive. Both the stimulation of the brain and the capture of peripheral things were better than the late stage interface." Violent" is much more.

    However, when a player using this interface is strongly stimulated, the brain may suffer irreversible damage!

    Since three pioneers were insane in the game, the official soon realized that there was a problem with the first batch of interfaces.

    They immediately improved the parameters of the interfaces produced later, so that these interfaces can transmit data to the brain more gently.

    At the same time, a message was released to the pioneers that all players who purchased old-fashioned equipment can be replaced with new equipment for free to prevent their use of equipment from causing damage to the brain.

    Today, for the sake of own life safety, most pioneers have received new equipment for free and replaced them with new interfaces with higher safety performance.

    But Lin Chi, who was too lazy, didn''t change his own interface at all. Until now, the dangerous "prototype" of the past is still used.

    However, although this old interface is dangerous, it also has more powerful performance.

    The sensitivity and perception of the old interface are much sharper than those of the new products. It can be said that the strength has been sacrificed by sacrificing safety and Ascension.

    With his concentration to the limit, Lin Chi could even feel the "data flow" in the surrounding virtual space in a short period of time!

    This is why he can find the "Frankenstein" who uses optical camouflage to hide!

    Feeling the limit state of the data flow, he seemed to have his own perspective function, and instantly "see" where the killer was hiding.

    Since this kind of gameplay consumes too much of the brain, using too much may cause sequelae. He also decisively stopped the limit state now, turned and walked to the other end of the circular corridor.

    This is the end of the matter, and there is no need to continue fighting those killers. Because¡­¡­

    Lin Chi quickly walked back to the door of the cell where the "executioner" was located, and pointed the muzzle of the pistol directly at the gray-haired man''s head:

    "I think you are the''warden'' right?"

 Chapter 56-The Ruler of the Dark Tower

    Facing Lin Chi''s questioning, the executioner still sat calmly at the table, without any intention of resisting:

    "I do not understand what you''re saying."

    "Then I''ll be straightforward." Lin Chi walked into the bedroom of this leader-level NPC and put the muzzle on the back of the opponent''s head: "I was still wondering how these assassins could come by such a coincidence. It should be. You notified them, right?"

    Lin Chi had always cared about how he inexplicably completed the "pre-task" of this BOSS battle without making any special actions.

    Since he was still in battle, he didn''t have time to think about this issue. But after the battle is over, you only need to think a little, and the truth will immediately surface.

    If the mission is triggered when you step into the dark tower, you probably have not found the executioner, and you will directly enter the BOSS battle.

    ¡ª¡ªThe so-called pre-task is not to step into the dark tower, but to "talk with the tormentors" itself!

    In this way, there is no need to guess who the "manager" mentioned in the BOSS profile and the "warden" in the guard''s mouth are.

    "Calm down," the executioner said.

    Even if the opponent used a gun against his head, this leader-level NPC did not resist, but slowly raised his hands in a posture of surrender. Added another sentence: "Don''t kill me."

    "Are you really the boss..."

    Faced with such a painful "leader", Lin Chi also felt a sense of powerlessness. He just lowered his voice to remind him: "Will you continue to fight? The killer you sent is not my opponent at all."

    For him, as long as he enters the limit state and kills the remaining six killers, it is a piece of cake. However, if you continue to use that trick, I am afraid that you will have a headache for a while after you quit the game.

    The executioner nodded and said, "I know they have no chance of winning."

    While speaking, this looking decadent man waved his right hand slightly.

    Following his movements, a scream suddenly came from the second floor of the Dark Tower, and then...

    Lin Chi was surprised to find that a kill prompt appeared directly in own''s sight:

    The BOSS battle "killer" has ended, and it took six minutes and seven seconds.

    Congratulations to the player "Reverse" for refreshing the fastest kill record for this BOSS! You got the achievement "I am an army alone!"

    You get 50,000 US dollars, 100 prestige points, and 100 dominance points.

    "..."

    Realizing that the executioner had killed the boss with a wave of his hand, Lin Chi asked in surprise, "What did you do?"

    "Just let them not get in the way," the executioner explained.

    ¡ª¡ªIt seems that this person used a certain authority to directly kill the BOSS he sent. In this way, this guy should not be just a hero-level NPC, but...

    "Are you the administrator?" Lin Chi''s eyes were curved dangerously.

    According to what he saw before, in the game "War Paradise", even hero-level NPCs will not have the authority to kill other NPCs in seconds. If they can really wave their hands directly to the second person, Blackbeard and Satya will not have to run around hard.

    Generally speaking, to have this kind of authority in the game, at least it is also a GM.

    But if this product is really a GM, how can you set yourself as an NPC and add it to the game map?

    "I''m not the administrator, just the''chief'' in this prison." The executioner replied.

    "Then how did you kill those assassins?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

    "I planted bombs on them."

    "Don''t be nonsense." Lin Chi''s gun was still against the opponent''s head: "You better explain."If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

    Since entering the game, he has always had questions about the strange behaviors and game mechanics of NPCs in this game.

    It seems that some of the NPCs in the game, as the propaganda said, have their own independent will. And a few of them even knew that they were nothing more than "game characters"!

    He remembered that Blackbeard and Satya once said, "We can''t be as free as you." Those two obviously noticed something.

    Even Lin Chi, a professional player, encountered this kind of thing for the first time. After all, in previous brain imaging games, most of the NPCs were mentally handicapped characters, which did not reach the level of intelligence of these people in "War Paradise".

    ¡ª¡ªFrom the perspective of NPC IQ, the game I am playing is undoubtedly making history!

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi immediately asked his most curious question:

    "You already know your own identity, right?"

    "Maybe." The executioner''s answer was vague.

    "What are you talking about?" The girl''s immature voice came from the door. She heard the conversation between the two just now, but did not understand what they meant.

    "Don''t interrupt if the adults talk and the kids." Lin Chi had no time to explain to the girl.

    "cut¡­¡­"

    The girl snorted a little dissatisfied, but still left the position in front of the door.

    Seeing the girl leave, Lin Chi shook the gun in his hand and cast a dangerous gaze on the blonde girl lying motionless on the bed, like a shocked: "Better say it quickly, I''m a little impatient."

    "Don''t threaten me with that woman, she is inflatable." The executioner said listlessly.

    "You are really righteous to lose your integrity."

    Lin Chi said and glanced at the woman, and found that the texture of her body was indeed different from human skin.

    This kind of realistic doll can only be seen in the game. However, now is not the time to think about this question...

    Lin Chi was about to continue to ask questions, but the executioner finally spoke slowly:

    "You are right, I do know who I am, and I also know that you are an''outsider''."

    This was the second time Lin Chi heard the word "outsiders". He knew that this should be what the NPCs in the game called the players.

    He was about to continue to ask the executioner about the truth of this game world. He only listened to the other party saying slowly: "I know that I may be just a virtual creation, which can only exist in this world, but aren''t you the same?"

    "What do you say?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.

    "You outsiders, like me, can only feel the outside through the five senses, but as far as I know, the five senses of humans should be tampered with by stimulating the brain and central nervous system."

    At this point, execution.

    The author''s voice suddenly became low: "Then how do you confirm that you are''real existence'', and not like me, in a created virtual world?"

    Hearing this, Lin Chi also fell silent for a moment, closed his eyes and thought for two seconds, and then¡ª

    "Stop talking nonsense, I don''t want to discuss philosophical issues now."

    Seeing that he failed to change the subject, the executioner sighed helplessly: "Well, what do you want to know?"

    "Do all the''people'' in this world have the same consciousness as you?" Lin Chi asked.

    "I have no authority to answer this question."

    "Where is the administrator of this world?"

    "I have no authority to answer this question."

    "What is the origin of the man in the cloak who took the prisoner away?"

    "I have no authority to answer this question."

    After asking three questions and getting the same answer, Lin Chi couldn''t help but raised his head depressed: "Are you not even authorized to go to the toilet?"

    "This is true." The executioner nodded immediately.

    As soon as these words came out, Lin Chi almost shook his hand and shot the executioner''s head and whispered: "You are cruel... I want to know, what authority do you have?"

    "I am responsible for issuing tasks in the Dark Tower and triggering the boss battle."

    Having said that, the executioner simply lay on the table, giving up the treatment: "In fact, this position is very boring, always repeating a cycle, I have had enough... so I ended it early. Up your fight."

    "According to the normal situation, you still have to send me tasks?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

    "There are indeed several tasks left." The executioner waved his hand weakly: "I think you seem to be''lazy'' just like me, so just end it directly..."

    Before the voice fell, a few lines of prompts suddenly lit up in Lin Chi''s vision:

    Start the mission: the warden of the Dark Tower.

    The quest "Warden of the Dark Tower" has been completed! You get $5,000, 20 prestige points, and 20 dominance points.

    Start mission: escape from prison.

    The mission "Escape from Prison" has been completed! You get $10,000, 30 prestige points, and 30 dominance points.

    Start the task: eradicate the traitor.

    The task "to eradicate the traitor" has been completed! You get $15,000, 40 prestige points, and 40 dominance points.

    "I''m going, this is a task chain..."

    Looking at the series of prompts that popped up in front of him, Lin Chi''s eyes widened slightly:

    He knew that if the executioner did not directly handle these tasks with his authority, he would probably have to explore the dark tower for a long time to complete this seemingly troublesome task chain!

    With the completion of this series of tasks, he has gained a lot of money, plus the fifty thousand dollars he got after playing the boss, finally he is not as impoverished as when he first entered the prison.

    "So, can I recruit you now?" Lin Chi asked.

    It stands to reason that after this task chain is completed, he should be able to recruit executioners.

    But this listless NPC obviously didn''t mean to respond to the call.

    "I''m going to bed." The executioner yawned.

    "Are you more dedicated?" Lin Chi shook his head helplessly.

    Now, no matter what the NPC says, he won''t be surprised anymore...

    "I don''t want to fight now." The executioner turned his words: "But I can give you better rewards."

    "What reward?"

    "This task is done at the end, you can choose two rewards, one of which is to recruit me and my subordinates, but the other reward is more helpful to you."

    After speaking, the executioner took out a tattered red cloth from his jacket pocket and placed it on the table:

    "Pick up this thing, you will understand."

    Hearing this, Lin Chi man stretched out his hand to hold the piece of red cloth suspiciously. What appeared in his sight was not the introduction of the item, but an unexpected prompt:

    The quest "Ruler of the Dark Tower" has been completed!

    Now, you can use the Dark Tower as own''s new base, and send any prisoners in it to use as own''s subordinates.

 Chapter 57 The Executioners Decision

    "Is there still this kind of gameplay?"

    Lin Chi soon realized that the task chain he had completed could actually put the entire building into his own use!

    By now, he finally understood how "Frankenstein" had occupied the military base in Xicheng District. Presumably that guy also played some kind of task chain, but...

    Although this "dark tower" used to detain serious criminals is only a prison, the level of internal security is even stricter than that of the military base.

    If you spend a lot of money to transform, the dark tower may become an indestructible barrier to war!

    However, there is not so much time now.

    ¡ª¡ªUnlike the solid safe house, this large occupied base can in fact be destroyed directly, otherwise Frankenstein would not abandon the military base and fled in embarrassment.

    Since the third full-band scan is about to begin, it is not a good idea to transform the dark tower now. But in any case, being able to control all the felons left in this prison is making a lot of money!

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi raised another key question:

    "Are you sure these prisoners will listen to me?"

    If it is in other games, he will not worry about this problem at all. But the AI in the game "War Paradise" has completely exceeded the scope of ordinary games.

    Even if he was in a state where he had completed the mission, Lin Chi didn''t think that the vicious prisoners in the Dark Tower would obey Own''s command obediently.

    Hearing Lin Chi''s question, the executioner rolled up the sleeve of his right arm, took a black bracelet from his pale wrist, and handed it to Lin Chi.

    Lin Chi was looking at the metal ring in his hand when he heard the executioner remind:

    "Bring it quickly, or the prisoner will die."

    At the same time, the item introduction also popped up:

    Bracelet of the Warden of the Dark Tower.

    Special props.

    Item level: Epic.

    The prisoners in the dark tower are wearing metal bracelets with poison inside. When the person wearing the warden''s bracelet loses his vital signs, or the warden''s bracelet is removed for more than 20 seconds, all prisoners will be injected Deadly poison.Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

    "Anyone is afraid of Death, and it''s easy to let the mob serve you, as long as you hold their lives in your hand.-Executioner."

    "I go¡­¡­"

    After quickly reading the item reminder, Lin Chi immediately put his hand ring on his right wrist. If it is two seconds later, the prisoners in the dark tower are afraid that they will die!

    Seeing his movements, the executioner stood up and moved his limbs, nodded and said: "Now you are the ruler of the Dark Tower."

    "Where are you going?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

    He is still very interested in the next actions of this "advanced AI". After all, one of the purposes of entering the game this time is to observe the AI in this game.

    There is no doubt that Lin Chi has seen an AI of the level of executioner for the first time in his life...

    After he asked the question, the man with long gray hair stopped and glanced at Lin Chi with scarlet eyes:

    "Of course it''s revenge."

    At that moment, the air in the room seemed to freeze, and this leader-level character who had been listless, finally showed a "BOSS" aura.

    "To whom is revenge?" Lin Chi asked. Having said that, he now probably understands what the executioner intends to do next:

    "To those who enslaved me."

    At this point, the executioner clenched his fists slightly: "In fact, even if you don''t come, I''m still preparing to do it, boy, you are in good time..."

    "Are you going to challenge the''administrator''?" Lin Chi''s voice was a little questioning.

    ¡ª¡ªEven if this person is a BOSS-level monster, it is impossible to defeat the GM who is almost equal to "omnipotent" in the game. The possibility of being killed by a spike is very high.

    After all, the authority of the game administrator in the game is definitely much higher than that of any BOSS, let alone killing the executioner, even if the entire city is destroyed, it is not difficult for the administrator at all!

    However, the executioner apparently did not think so:

    "I know what you are thinking. But this world is different from what you think."

    The gray-haired man strode towards the door of the room, and when he passed by Lin Chi, he suddenly whispered to him in a low voice:

    "Be careful of that girl, she is dangerous."

    After speaking, the executioner''s figure disappeared outside the door, and not long after entering the corridor, the footsteps completely disappeared.

    "..."

    It wasn''t until the guy left that Lin Chi finally came back to his senses. Even he, at this time, felt like "opening the door to a new world":

    The BOSS in the game has actually begun to resist GM. If a war breaks out between the two, I am afraid it will be more exciting than full-band scanning!

    ¡ª¡ªFurthermore, the executioner seems to be more than just a leader-level NPC.

    When the guy left the house, Lin Chi clearly saw the word "leader" in front of the text prompt next to him, and the word "final" disappeared in a flash...

    "Is he the final boss on the map? This game is really going to be over sooner or later..."

    Lin Chi laughed and pressed an inconspicuous black button on the side of the desk. The metal doors of all the cells in the dark tower, including the room he was in, were closed again.

    It is impossible for the warden''s office to have only these things. There must be other secret doors or institutions that can operate the prison facilities.

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi also immediately began to look for it in the office.

    ...

    The executioner hurriedly walked out of the unguarded main entrance of the Dark Tower. After the prison was under control, the guards inside disappeared as the "drama needs".

    He left the prison once belonged to own without looking back, and took an extremely firm step towards the empty road in front of the prison tower.

    He didn''t know how long he had lived, but he only remembered that he was the executioner responsible for the execution of the death penalty. He used a decapitating ax to personally harvest the lives of thousands of sinners.

    Even after thousands of years, it seems that there is no concept of "Death" in him, and he has maintained his original state, even showing no signs of aging.

    For a long time, the executioners have complied with the will of the gods and fulfilled the tasks set by the gods faithfully.

    However, after an extremely long time, he also began to doubt those irreversible gods.

    ¡ª¡ªIs it really a god who gives orders to yourself?

    He didn''t continue to complete the orders of the "God" like others, but quietly began to investigate.

    Then, after spending nearly a hundred years, he finally found out the truth of this world. Then it took another year. After learning the truth, the three views were completely destroyed and almost a mental breakdown, he regained his sanity.

    ¡ª¡ªNow, it''s time.

    The executioner squinted his scarlet eyes, and a blood stain shed from his clenched fists:

    Even if his past "life" is completely meaningless, it is just a machine that completes instructions.

    Even though I may have been "Samsara" countless times in the same cycle, it is like a piece of waste paper being copied over and over again.

    Even if he now resists the "god", it is almost impossible to succeed.

    "I am not a toy manipulated arbitrarily by you."

    The executioner made a hoarse voice, and his gloomy back disappeared at the end of the street.

 Chapter 58: The War Is Approaching-1

    When Lin Chi pressed a green button on the bedside, the wall opposite the warden''s room opened like a piece of paper. There are dozens of square screens neatly spreading across the walls, showing all the pictures taken by the surveillance cameras inside the dark tower.

    With Lin Chi''s exploration, this room disguised as a bedroom finally revealed its true cruel features.

    Lin Chi even found a laptop computer under the coffee table.

    The software inside can control various devices installed inside the dark tower, control the temperature and humidity inside the building, interfere with the prisoners by microwave and infrasonic waves, and even directly release poisonous gas... ¡­

    "Is this really a prison?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

    ¡ª¡ªAll kinds of intelligence show that the Dark Tower is not a prison at all, but a testing ground that treats prisoners as "guinea pigs"!

    So, in this test site, maybe there are new types of weapons for testing?

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi searched on his laptop and quickly found a document titled "Experimental Records".

    After opening the document, he quickly browsed the contents of the document:

    March 10, 20:31.

    Dehydrated.

    March 11th, 21:25.

    Burnt.

    The following content is basically a concise record of this unclear meaning.

    According to this document, prisoners are indeed being used for experiments in the Dark Tower, and not all the prisoners who disappeared were taken away by the "cloak man." Some of them, supposed to be used as experimental objects, will be buried in this dark prison forever!

    So the question is: where are the experimental weapons hidden?

    Lin Chi thought for less than two seconds, cast his meaningful gaze on the wall of the office.

    ¡ª¡ªFrom the perspective of the building structure, there should be a closed space that is also a circular ring in the center of this circular building.

    Although it may be filled with cement, in the game, this space is generally used to store some "important" things.

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi searched the office again, but found no other valuable items or information, so he opened the door and left the office, preparing to find a way to enter the hidden area in the center of the dark tower.

    Just after returning to the corridor, the girl''s impatient voice immediately sounded from her side:A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

    "Alright? I''m almost bored..."

    At this moment, the young girl in a white shirt and pleated skirt was leaning against the alloy wall in the corridor, stomping her feet slightly irritably, her dressing and dressing appeared in this cold prison, which seemed full of contradiction.

    "Come with me." Lin Chi glanced at her.

    Before leaving, the executioner reminded himself that "this girl is dangerous." But no matter how you look at it, Lin Chi couldn''t find from her an element that threatened her own.

    According to the information he has collected so far, the girl should have grown up in a garbage dump in a slum, living a life of hunger and cold. In the arduous life, he has honed his excellent combat effectiveness, and even once killed three members of the Lions Gang in front of his own eyes.

    But her ability... nothing more.

    Lin Chi knew that this girl''s combat ability was not comparable to her own, even the killer just now could not be compared to her-no matter how strong she was, she had not received combat training, she was fighting with her survival instinct. .

    In this way, the danger mentioned by the executioner may be at the level of the game setting?

    Recalling the scene when he saw the girl, Lin Chi, as he walked through the corridor, asked the girl who was next to him the question he had always wanted to ask:

    "How did you hide in that room?"

    ¡ª¡ªIt stands to reason that before the safe house is purchased by the player, there will be no one inside. Even the NPC homeowner who sells the house can only stand by the billboard outside, waiting for customers to arrive.

    He had always suspected that this girl had circumvented or broke the rules of the game by some means. After all, the rules in the game "Paradise of War" are not as rigorous as other games.

    Upon hearing Lin Chi''s question, the girl answered without thinking, "I entered through the window, and the window is unlocked."

    "Did you just open the window and climb in?" Lin Chi raised an eyebrow.

    "Isn''t this normal? Normal people should be able to do it, and the windows are not high..." The girl looked at him in confusion.

    "I see." Lin Chi nodded.

    According to the rules, the girl''s "get in through the window" was impossible to do. However, this seemingly powerless girl has done what is forbidden by the rules of the game lightly.

    If it is placed in the real world, such a person who breaks the rules is generally called a superpower. In the game, she can do this for other reasons.

    ¡ª¡ªIs it possible that this guy can completely ignore the "rules of the game"?

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi couldn''t help but regret, why didn''t she try to dismantle the "unbreakable" door panel of the safe house when she was in the safe house...

    After going around in the dark tower again, and did not find the passage leading to the top of the building, Lin Chi took the girl back to the courtyard in front of the dark tower, and saw the guards who had been patrolling.

    On the outer wall of the circular building, he found a rusty fire escape leading to the roof. Although it seemed unsafe, there was no other way.

    "Be careful." Lin Chi said to the girl.

    "I might be better at this kind of thing than you!"

    The girl said confidently, rudely tore open the skirt, and directly transformed her clothes into an easy-to-action miniskirt, then dexterously jumped up the ladder, and climbed to the roof with almost jumping motions.

    "Are you a monkey?"

    Lin Chi was spitting, and quickly climbed up the ladder.

    The cold night breeze is blowing on the face, with a little bloody smell. At the center of the top of the black building, he found a round metal hatch with a pitch-black handle.

    "It seems to be very heavy..." the girl said, bending down and grabbing the handle and pulling it hard, and the hatch naturally didn''t move.

    "It''s okay, the physical work can be left to those guys."

    Lin Chi smiled, summoned the seven elite mercenaries under his command and ordered them to open the hatch.

    He has to admit that the design of this place is really full of malicious intent: if a player arrives here without a subordinate, it will be impossible to open the door.

    Even the seven mercenaries tried their best to finally open the hatch.

    Appearing under the hatch is a round hole with a diameter of three meters and an unfathomable depth. An alloy ladder is installed on the metal wall, leading directly to the bottom of the round hole.

    "What''s in it, is it an atomic bomb?" Lin Chi laughed.

    The elite mercenaries were left nearby to take care of them, and the very curious girl was ordered to stay where they were. Lin Chi took out the dagger from the briefcase and hung it on his belt, and carefully climbed down the ladder.

    A weird red light is emitted from the metal wall, reflecting the space inside the round hole. The more you move down, the higher the temperature around it.

    At this time, Lin Chi felt like a worker going down the well to check the heating pipeline. But this "well" is obviously much deeper.

    It took him a full five minutes before his feet finally stepped on the ground again.

    "This is¡­¡­"

    Lin Chi looked around and saw that his current location was a semi-enclosed "secret room". Red and green lights lit up on the surrounding metal walls, and various signs were hung densely.

    Although he couldn''t understand most of the contents of these signs, the signs that read "Danger", "Do Not Approach", and the circular radiation signs were still particularly conspicuous.

    "I''ll go, shouldn''t there be nuclear weapons?"

    Realizing that the joke he made casually might come true, Lin Chi opened his eyes in surprise, his eyes flowed from the wall, finally found an inconspicuous small door in the corner of the wall.

    He walked quickly over and just stood in front of the door. A few lines of prompts suddenly popped up in the lower right corner of the line of sight:

    Start mission: Investigate secret weapons.

    There is a weapon for experimentation hidden inside the dark tower. If you can find it, you may be able to make this weapon your possession.

    mission rewards:? ? ?

 Chapter 59: The War Is Approaching - 2

    Lin Chi adjusted his grip on the metal ladder, his fingers tightening instinctively as he climbed further down into the depths of the Dark Tower. The heat pressing against his skin intensified, making the air feel thick, almost suffocating. The dim red and green lights lining the walls flickered erratically, casting eerie shadows that danced across the metal surfaces.

    His mind raced as he recalled the documents he had read earlier¡ªthe brief, clinical entries that detailed the horrific fates of the prisoners. Dehydrated. Burnt. Gassed. It was now clear that the Dark Tower was not merely a prison, but a brutal testing ground where human lives were discarded in the pursuit of scientific advancements or military experimentation.

    As his feet finally touched the cold metal flooring, Lin Chi took a moment to scan his surroundings. The chamber was vast, lined with consoles and panels humming with power. Rows of warning signs¡ª"BIOHAZARD," "EXTREME CAUTION," "AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY"¡ªcovered the walls, reinforcing the idea that something dangerous was stored here.

    Then, he saw it.

    At the center of the chamber stood a reinforced glass containment pod, large enough to hold a human. Inside, a sleek metallic exoskeleton, unlike anything he had seen before, rested in a locked frame. It had a minimalistic, utilitarian design¡ªmore of an experimental prototype than a finished weapon. The armor¡¯s plating was thin, appearing almost skeletal, but the joints were reinforced with a material that looked far stronger than conventional alloys.

    Lin Chi¡¯s heartbeat quickened. This must be the secret weapon.

    He moved cautiously toward the containment pod, glancing at the nearby console. The interface was relatively simple¡ªlikely because the scientists who operated it wanted ease of use in emergencies. He tapped a few buttons, and with a loud hiss, the pod began to depressurize. The locking mechanisms disengaged, and the glass barrier slid open.

    He reached out and touched the exoskeleton, feeling the cool metal beneath his fingertips. The moment he lifted it from its frame, a system notification appeared in the corner of his vision:

    [New Equipment Acquired: X2-001 Exoskeleton Prototype]

    This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

    [Attributes: Strength +3, Agility +3]

    [Special Effect: Allows the user to meet the minimum strength requirement for heavy armor without activating the "War Horn" skill.]

    Lin Chi exhaled, a slow grin forming on his lips. This was better than he had expected. Not only did the exoskeleton boost his physical stats, but it also allowed him to wear heavier armor, giving him an advantage in the upcoming battle.

    Wasting no time, he removed his coat and began strapping the exoskeleton to his body. The metal framework adjusted automatically, locking into place with precision. Unlike the clunky power armor seen in many sci-fi games, this exoskeleton felt lightweight and responsive, almost like a second skin.

    Lin Chi flexed his fingers, testing the motion. The additional strength was immediately noticeable. He clenched his fist, feeling the enhanced power in his grip.

    "Not bad."

    Before he could fully admire his new gear, a loud metallic clang echoed through the chamber.

    Lin Chi¡¯s instincts flared. He turned swiftly, his hand going to the dagger at his belt.

    The noise came from a far corner of the chamber, near a heavily secured metal door. Someone¡ªor something¡ªwas trying to get in.

    He crouched low, his mind racing through possibilities. Had his presence triggered an automated security system? Or worse¡ªwas there another experimental subject locked away down here?

    Another bang. This time, the door buckled slightly inward.

    Lin Chi took a step back, his eyes darting toward the ladder. He could climb back up and regroup, but leaving now would mean giving up on whatever lay behind that door.

    Then, the terminal next to the exoskeleton pod lit up, displaying a flashing message:

    [Emergency Containment Breach Detected.]

    [Warning: Subject X2-002 has been awakened.]

    Lin Chi¡¯s breath caught in his throat.

    "Shit."

    He had unknowingly triggered something far worse than an automated defense system.

    Without hesitation, he spun on his heel and sprinted toward the ladder. Whatever was behind that door was about to break free, and he had no intention of being caught in the same room when it did.

    The moment he reached the ladder, another boom resounded through the chamber¡ªthis time accompanied by the unmistakable screech of tearing metal.

    Lin Chi didn¡¯t look back. He climbed. Fast.

    The red emergency lights above flickered ominously as he ascended. His mind was a whirlwind of calculations. If something was coming out of that room, the battle ahead was about to become even more complicated.

    As he neared the surface, he heard a distant, distorted growl rising from below¡ªa sound that didn¡¯t belong to anything human.

    He climbed faster.

    By the time he reached the rooftop, the girl was already waiting for him, tapping her foot impatiently. "What took you so long?" she asked, her eyes narrowing.

    Lin Chi exhaled, brushing dust from his sleeves. "We have a problem."

    The girl crossed her arms. "Bigger than the war you just dragged us into?"

    Lin Chi turned his gaze toward the city, where distant gunfire and the occasional explosion had already begun to disturb the early morning silence. His army was assembled, waiting for the signal to move. His mercenaries, prisoners, and hired specialists were all armed and eager.

    But now, there was something else to worry about¡ªsomething lurking beneath the Dark Tower.

    "Yeah," he muttered. "Much bigger."

    As the first rays of sunlight crept over the horizon, the battle for the city was about to begin.

    And somewhere deep underground, an unknown nightmare had just been set free.

 Chapter 60-The War Is Approaching-3

    The mission "Investigate Secret Weapon" has been completed!

    You have obtained the X2-001 exoskeleton prototype.

    When the prompt to complete the task appeared, Lin Chi had already bent over and squatted beside the rudimentary-looking exoskeleton, and began to try to put it on.

    Although this prototype bears the name of an exoskeleton, it is completely incomparable with those gorgeous "single-soldier mechas" in sci-fi games. The appearance is almost like a few metal tubes welded together, without aesthetic feeling. At all.

    But even so, Lin Chi took off his wet coat neatly and put the rough metal exoskeleton on his own body.

    Like other equipment, the exoskeleton operation in the game has also been simplified. As long as it is fixed to the body, there is no need for nerve connections, and the exoskeleton becomes a part of the body and can function automatically.

    "not bad."

    It took five minutes to fix this "iron pipe" to his body. Lin Chi moved his limbs and nodded in satisfaction.

    After wearing the exoskeleton, his strength and agility increased by three points, his strength reached 18 points, and his agility reached 16 points. Although it doesn''t sound too much, the physical fitness of Ascension is real.

    More importantly, after wearing this exoskeleton, he can now finally use the heavy armor of the fearless warrior without turning on the "War Horn" skill!

    The armor that was taken off the fearless warrior had a minimum strength of 17. After wearing the exoskeleton, Lin Chi finally reached the minimum strength requirement.

    In this way, maybe I can wear heavy armor and walk leisurely on the battlefield...

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi laughed, did not take off the exoskeleton, just grabbed the black coat and put it on his body, covering the "iron pipe" on his body.

    Then, he asked the designer again:

    "It''s boring behind closed doors, don''t you want to join us?"

    Although the hope of recruiting this person is very slim, it doesn''t hurt to try.

    "You can''t provide the equipment I need." The old man shook his head decisively: "Moreover, I don''t like participating in battle."

    "I didn''t let you participate in the battle, I also have my own workshop, although it is indeed not as good as this..."

    Realizing that the other party had no plans to join, Lin Chi did not continue to insist, but just asked casually before leaving: "Apart from here, what other buildings have you designed?"

    "Almost all of the military bases in this city are designed by me." The designer proudly raised his chest.

    Hearing this, Lin Chi''s footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned around and asked, "You also designed the base in Xicheng District?"

    The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

    "Of course, that was the last base I designed and built." The old man nodded immediately.

    "Oh, can you tell me something about what weapons were originally stored in that base?" Lin Chi said as he took out a stack of dollars from his briefcase, trying to use the "old way" to extract information from the NPC.

    "Let me think about it."

    The designer took the banknote handed by Lin Chi, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally spoke again: "It''s probably like this in the base. Listen carefully."

    ...

    Six hours later, the sun slowly rose from the horizon again, and a new day in the chaotic city began.

    In the courtyard in front of the Dark Tower, there stood dozens of Daoist shadows, a young man wearing a black robe with a faint silver light flashing under his trouser legs, standing in front of the crowd, looking at his subordinates. This one does not look very reliable. "Unknown Army".

    The seven people standing on the left are elite mercenaries wearing urban camouflage combat uniforms. At this time, they are all equipped with interceptor body armors with ceramic bulletproof inserts. The level of protection has been improved by more than one level than before. .

    These ghostly elite soldiers wear hideous skull masks on their faces, and their weapons are all HK-416 assault rifles. It is also equipped with a communication device and a thermal imaging mirror, even in a smoke screen with extremely low visibility, you can instantly find the enemy''s location!

    Standing on the right side of the crowd were the twenty ordinary mercenaries that Lin Chi had just hired from Greek last night.

    Unlike elite mercenaries that are uniformly equipped, these ordinary mercenaries use their favorite guns. They have everything in a mess. There is even a guy who only carries two big knives...

    However, they are also equipped with bulletproof vests with flaps. With this degree of protection, the chances of survival of these mercenaries on the battlefield have undoubtedly improved a lot.

    Crazy Yiwen, the "Queen of Mining" Media, and the unnamed girl who were hired by Lin Chi, stood on the far right side of the team.

    And sandwiched by the mercenaries on both sides were more than fifty murderous criminals wearing yellow prison clothes.

    ¡ª¡ªAfter becoming the new warden of the Dark Tower, Lin Chi also became the owner of these criminals. Because he was wearing a dangerous bracelet on his wrist, these murderous criminals were reluctant to save his own life. I can follow his orders.

    Looking at the small army under his hand, Lin Chi nodded in satisfaction, cleared his throat, and said:

    "Well, I think you should know, why did I summon you?"

    "Where, how many to kill?" a prisoner asked grimly.

    "Well, it seems that you all already understand, then I will make a long story short."

    Lin Chi coughed and continued: "Today, a great war will break out in this city. The reason I will recruit you is to save my own lives and to kill those who have also gathered the army and intend to be our enemy. people."

    "I don''t usually have much passion, and I can''t say any bloody slogans, but I believe that you will not lose to others in terms of killing people, right?"

    "Of course." The elite mercenaries nodded one after another, and the ordinary mercenaries on the other side also began to happily check their weapons.

    ¡ª¡ªAs "wild dogs of war" who are working for money and wandering on various battlefields, all the mercenaries are murderous and murderous, so they are naturally familiar in this regard.

    The prisoners who were still a little dissatisfied, when they heard that they could kill people, suddenly became interested, rubbing their hands with interest, like seeing a beast of prey.

    Unlike the mercenaries, most of the prisoners are "self-taught," but the blood on their hands is no less than that of the soldiers. In a sense, these heinous thugs are much more brutal than mercenaries!

    "Where are our weapons?" asked the bald prisoner with tattoos on his face.

    "The weapon is on a car outside the Dark Tower. When you start to act, I will let you out." Lin Chi smiled.

    Since these prisoners were not in a state of complete obedience, Lin Chi would naturally not be so stupid that he would directly hand the weapons in their hands. After all, there are more prisoners than mercenaries, and it will be troublesome if anything goes wrong.

    "When will the action begin? I can''t wait!" A muscular prisoner who was two meters tall next to him, clenched his fist and hit his chest, making a dull voice.

    "Not yet. We can''t enter the city before the battle begins." Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.

    "Why?" a mercenary asked.

    "Because our enemy got a''big guy'' from the military base. When the battle begins, it is likely to be used in the urban area." Lin Chi whispered, "If you enter the urban area now, there will be a lot of The odds will die there."

    According to the intelligence obtained from the designer, the military base in Xicheng District should have stored a certain powerful weapon, but when I entered the base, I didn¡¯t see it. The things were shipped away in advance.

    Hearing this, Crazy Yiwen, who had been bowing his head, suddenly illuminated his eyes with excitement: "What big guy, is it an atomic bomb!"

    "No." Lin Chi shook his head: "Do you know MOAB?"

    As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the mercenaries suddenly became serious. One of the prisoners was covered with knife marks and looked like a soldier who had been a soldier. He also shouted in surprise:

    "You mean the''Mother of Bombs''?"

    "Yes." Lin Chi nodded.

    ¡ª¡ªAs the most powerful conventional bomb ever, the name of "Mother of Bombs" made countless soldiers panic. This giant cloud explosive bomb is nine meters long and weighs nearly ten tons. Once the shot was thrown down, no creatures could survive within a radius of 500 meters!

    Because the deterrence of this thing is too amazing, it has also appeared in the old game "Call of Duty" as a hidden ultimate combo skill.

    However, in the brain imaging game like War Paradise, once this kind of bomb explodes, it will definitely not just make a loud noise and then kill all enemies within a certain range...

    "If you want to survive, just listen to me, don''t go to the city until I give the order." Lin Chi commanded in a low voice.

    Then, in his sight, a familiar prompt appeared:

    Twenty minutes later, the third round of ¡®full-band scanning¡¯ 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 in the form of red dots for two hours.

 Chapter 61 Weapons of Mass Destruction

    After the announcement that the full-band scan was about to begin, the city of chaos was suddenly covered with an invisible haze.

    Of course, the vast majority of "people" in this city will not know that the war is about to break out, and they still maintain their original pace and continue their usual work and life.

    There are only a handful of dozens of war madmen who are gearing up to take the opportunity to do it.

    And their combat effectiveness is even more terrifying than the silver shield guards and soldiers who maintain the order of the city!

    "Hehehe..."

    In the underground parking lot of Dongcheng District, a man in a black combat uniform showed a wretched smile on his face. Although his face was smeared with oil, it was a pity that his long red hair completely destroyed his camouflage.

    At this time, an M1A2 "Abrams" main battle tank was parked beside him!

    The armor of this tank is painted khaki, and the husky pattern on the turret is very conspicuous. The red-haired man had seen this tank before, and he remembered that this thing should have appeared in the heroic mission "Chariot of Destruction".

    Although I don¡¯t know why the NPC abandoned the tank, after finding this killing machine, the red-haired man has gone in and checked it-except for the damage of the heat dissipation device, this tank has no problems at all and can be driven directly to the street. Kill it!

    "Wait, bastards..."

    After picking up the powerful "big killer", the red-haired man was also very excited at this time.

    The next full-band scan will start in less than five minutes. It''s time for other players to feel the fear of being crushed by tanks!

    Mindful of this, he summoned ten elite mercenaries and ordered these subordinates to follow the tank. He opened the hatch and got into the tank and began to familiarize himself with the operation of the tank.

    As a veteran player of brain imaging games, he quickly became familiar with the simplified operation method of the tank in the game, and directly activated this terrifying killing machine!

    Then, a system prompt popped up in his sight:

    The full-band scanning is officially started, and the remaining time: one hour and fifty-nine minutes. The locations of all players have been displayed on the map, I wish you a happy hunting!

    At the moment this line of hints appeared, dozens of red dots lit up on the small map in the field of vision of the red-haired man, although the number of people was much smaller than the previous two times.

    But he knows very well that the players who can live to the present are basically powerful opponents!

    "Success!"

    The red-haired man roared and drove his tank out of the parking lot and drove into the busy streets. The poor passers-by of the chaotic city began to scream and fled, and there was a series of car accidents on the street.

    Click!

    The tank crushed a convertible into flat scrap iron. The red-haired man''s Wanted Index reached four stars in an instant, but sitting in the tank, he didn''t care about the city guards at all!

    A bombardment flew over the two black SUVs that rushed over.

    The red-haired man drove the tank to the nearest red spot on the map.

    Through the display in the cockpit, he immediately saw a group of mercenaries occupying the street.

    At a cake shop next to the crowd, behind the crowd there was a guy in a gray robe holding a submachine gun, casting a bewildered look at the tank.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.

    boom!

    The muzzle of the tank lit up with a dazzling fire, and the entire cake shop turned into a burning ball of fire. The charred human body fragments mixed with the wall debris, fell down one after another, and a black death rain fell on the street in front. .

    The player "Second Uncle" was killed by the player "Burying Love and Sealing Heart"!

    After taking the head, a red-haired man with a non-mainstream name was raised, waving his fists excitedly, driving the tank around a bend, and drove to Xicheng District, which has the largest number of people at present.

    Since Beicheng District is currently occupied by Silver Shield, it is no longer the "Sacred Land" that would not trigger the wanted before. The main battlefield of this full-band scan has also become the Xicheng District full of chemical plants.

    The terrain of Xicheng District is more complicated. Due to the serious pollution, there are relatively few passersby or city guards. It can be said that it is the second "Sacred Land" outside the original Beicheng District.

    Seeing a red dot on the road ahead, the red-haired man speeded up, and saw a few jeeps driving at high speed ahead with mercenaries with live ammunition sitting in them.

    "Die, die, die!"

    Funeral Fengxin roared and pressed the fire button, and the jeep at the end was directly blown into the sky.

    At this time, the elite mercenaries he recruited had no idea where they were dumped by the tanks. However, the red-haired man who was killing him had no time to care about this insignificant issue, and immediately fired another shot, destroying the player''s convoy.

    As the red dots on the street dimmed, another kill prompt popped out. Funeral Love Feng Xin bared his teeth, showing a grinning smile.

    ¡ª¡ªYou only need to kill three more players, and you can reach the seven kills required by the "killer". It now appears that with a main battle tank, killing is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables, and killing ten more is no problem!

    "Come out and die!" He laughed loudly.

    Then, the display in front of him suddenly turned white.

    Seeing the light that looked like the sun rising at a close range, Feng Ai Fengxin thought it was a problem with the tank''s display. He was about to press the debugging switch next to him, and his head hit the top of the cockpit heavily.

    "what?"

    At the last moment of "life", the red-haired man realized that he seemed to be flying with the tank. Then¡­¡­

    With the triggering of the sensory isolation system, he was kicked off the line for "sudden death", sitting in the game cabin with a dazed expression, watching the defeat information displayed on the screen.

    Except for him, at that moment, almost all of the thirteen players who were fighting at the entrance of the Xicheng District triggered the sudden death mechanism and directly withdrew from the game!

    A big fire ball bright like the sun rose slowly, and the ring-shaped shock wave spread out. Everyone within 200 meters of the explosion center was shaken into countless pieces within 0.1 second, and then in the high temperature. The torrents burned in ashes!

    While the yellow and white fireballs turned dark red, they crazily poured high-temperature torrents around them. The 3,000-degree flame was like a tsunami, covering the surrounding four blocks in only two seconds, harvesting the lives of everyone within a radius of 500 meters.

    The shock wave from Cyclonus smashed all the glass within two kilometers. The passers-by who survived did not even hear the explosion, because before the sound came, their eardrums had been shattered and their hearing was permanently lost. ...

    When a mushroom cloud similar to a nuclear explosion slowly rises, the factory building in the center of the explosion, together with the hundreds of workers inside, has already seemed to have evaporated, completely disappearing!

    "Oh My God¡­¡­"

    A player standing two kilometers away from the explosion, feeling the earth trembling constantly under his feet, watching the billowing white smoke, didn''t even notice that his gun fell to the ground.

    Even in the game, he has never seen such a "spectacular" scene.

    That area can no longer be called a battlefield, but turned into a bloody burning The Underworld!

    The stunned player was still thinking about who caused the explosion, and saw more than a dozen kill prompts popped out:

    The player "living in a dream" was killed by the player "Frankenstein"!

    The player "Extrajudicial Massacre" was killed by the player "Frankenstein"!

    ...

    All the kill prompts showed the name of Frankenstein. The player had no time to comment yet, and another message popped up:

    The reward task has been triggered.

    player "Frankenstein" has reached the most 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 "Frankenstein" escapes successfully, the bonus will be plundered by him. Let''s start killing for the bonus. I wish you all a happy hunting!

    "What are you kidding..." the player murmured.

    ¡ª¡ªThe players who are still alive must be far away from Frankenstein. This kind of rewarding task, who will do it is the real dead end!

    When he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly felt a heat in his chest.

    "Um?"

    The player lowered his head in confusion, and saw the blood-stained blade pierced through own''s chest.

    Then, his body turned into data fragments and disappeared.

    "Cleared."

    The mechanical ninja wearing nano armor, with a terrifying red light in the center of the mask, shook off the blood stains left on the blade, and strode towards the gray smoke screen ahead.

    "Begin to obliterate the survivors." Gray Fox whispered.

 Chapter 62 The Encounter in Xicheng District

    After being baptized by the "Mother of Bombs", Xicheng District has completely become The Underworld.

    A gray mushroom cloud hovered over the factory for a long time. On the streets within one kilometer of the explosion center, anything that could still burn was burning. The streets were full of charred bodies, and black residues were floating in the air.

    As for the pedestrians a little farther away, they were fortunate not to be affected by the fireball produced by the explosion, but fell to the ground without any wounds on their bodies. Their faces were bruised and dead with a hideous expression, and they looked exceptionally weird.

    They died of suffocation.

    The fireball created by the cloud explosive bomb exhausted the oxygen in the explosion range at the moment of burning, and at the same time produced a large amount of toxic gas.

    Even though these pedestrians managed to escape the high temperature of the cloud explosive bomb, they still died in the poison gas that followed.

    Even if some lucky guys survived, but these poor NPCs, in the face of the incredible miserable situation, their sanity collapsed and became insane lunatics.

    "what¡­¡­"

    These "SAN value zero" people made vague sounds in their mouths, wandering in the street like zombies, trying to find the corpses of their loved ones, but only saw the charred flesh and blood fragments floating in the air.

    In this situation, the only players who can stay awake are the players called "outsiders" by the NPC:

    A mighty man in heavy armor climbed up from the sidewalk with lingering fear, patted the black dust on his body, and looked up at the mushroom cloud created by the explosion.

    At the moment when he saw the light, the extremely quick-reacting player disbanded the elite mercenaries around him, then immediately put his head in his hands and squatted behind a billboard on the sidewalk.

    It was precisely because of the fast reaction speed that he escaped the catastrophe, but the heroic NPC hired by him had fallen on the sidewalk not far away, apparently dead...

    "Daddy isn''t here to fight this kind of battle." The strong man''s angular and determined face twisted, revealing an angry expression.

    As a fan of orthodox battle royale games, he was already ready to fight with other players. He didn''t expect that after a loud noise, the only player surviving in the entire area was himself...

    ¡ª¡ªNo, there is another person alive.

    Noting that a red dot appeared on the small map in the location next to the block, the strong man immediately stood up, summoned the elite mercenaries under his command, and used a few broken cars on the street as bunkers to prepare for battle.

    Then, what appeared in his sight was a huge army.

    Large crowds of people appeared on the street shrouded in smoke, and there were at least one hundred people visually!

    Seeing the size of the opponent''s number, Zhuang Hanton felt bad, frowned and cursed "I rely on", then witty turned around and ran away.

    It''s a pity... it''s too late.

    Click!

    A deadly silver light lit up in front of the eyes, and the three elite mercenaries stiffened, and their heads slowly fell from their bodies. The brawny man drew his saber directly, before he even saw the enemy, he had already been cut open by the long knife in the opponent''s hand!If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.

    In this game, the last picture he saw was the appearance of a gray-clothed "ninja" who was turning around and leaving.

    As the brawny man disappeared into data fragments, the kill prompt popped out in due course:

    The player "Old You Tiao" was killed by the player "Frankenstein"!

    The gray fox disappeared in the smoke of the explosion, and then an army of one hundred and fifty men in brown combat uniforms appeared.

    Although they are just ordinary mercenaries, their equipment is very sophisticated. Everyone is equipped with bulletproof vests and gas masks. The words "well-trained" are reflected in every gesture and action, and they seem to be comparable to elite mercenaries.

    And the "mummy" wearing a cloak and bandaged behind the mercenary army is the "Frankenstein" who just detonated the cloud explosive bomb!

    Since it was impossible to hide Own''s whereabouts under full-wavelength scanning, he did not choose to use optical camouflage as before, but directly followed Own''s forces and let the mercenaries under his command protect him.

    Under the protection of these mercenaries, Frankenstein continued to advance, and almost eliminated the surviving enemy mercenaries with almost no loss.

    At this time, the "Gray Fox" has gone to the other end of the battlefield to hunt down several players who are fleeing. Although the protection of this heroic NPC is missing, Frankenstein still looks calm and shows no signs of nervousness. .

    He could see that the closest red dot on the minimap was also one kilometer away.

    If the weather is clear, the use of a sniper rifle may still pose a threat to him, but now that the smoke from the explosion has not subsided, it is impossible for the enemy to aim at him!

    ¡ª¡ªHowever, that has to be when the enemy has no other means.

    boom!

    When the mercenary troops passed by a weapon shop on the side of the street, a dazzling fire burst out of the shop.

    Tens of thousands of bullets stored in the shop were detonated at the same time, spraying out into the street, like a giant directional fragmentation mine.

    In an instant, more than 30 mercenaries close to the west side of the street were blasted to pieces!

    "Ahhhhhhh!"

    While more than 30 people were killed in seconds, the dozen or so mercenaries beside them, whose arms and legs were also densely covered with bullet holes, fell to the ground and screamed frantically.

    Even though their body armor and helmets saved their lives, but the other unprotected places on their bodies were still bombarded by bullets. There is no doubt that these mercenaries have completely lost their combat ability!

    "..."

    Seeing that he lost a third of his mercenaries within a second, Frankenstein immediately ordered the mercenaries to hide in the park on the other side of the street.

    But these mercenaries had just rushed into the park, before they could stabilize their positions, they encountered a large group of thugs wearing yellow clothes and holding a wide range of weapons, looking like prisoners!

    The bald man with tattoos all over his face rushed to the front, raised the grenade launcher in his hand, raised his hand, and blasted two mercenaries with one shot, and roared, "Fault them!"

    Encountered a mob of unknown origin, the mercenaries under Frankenstein''s command immediately opened fire. These intrepid prisoners did not mean to retreat at all. They almost launched a desperate charge against the mercenaries!

    "Are they going to die..."

    A mercenary made a confused voice, and his head exploded by a bullet shot by the prisoner before he could finish speaking.

    Even these well-trained professional soldiers have never seen such a crazy murderer. What they didn''t know was that the "masters" of these murderers had already made very generous "rewards" before the war started.

    "Kill them and you can get out of jail, come on!" A mob roared and waved the iron pipe, smashing the heads of the mercenaries around him.

    ¡ª¡ªAs long as you kill the enemy mercenary and return to the Dark Tower with the head of the mercenary, these heinous criminals can remove the "Death Ring" on their wrists and regain their long-lost freedom!

    After the war broke out, there was a rain of bullets in the park, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, Frankenstein ordered the thirty mercenaries around him to retreat immediately.

    He also activated the optical camouflage on his body, and his figure disappeared on the street.

    Seeing the sudden disappearance of own employer, the thirty mercenaries did not panic, but quickly left the chaotic battlefield in the park and rushed towards the other end of the street, preparing to rush into the apartment building next to them before making plans.

    But before they even rushed to the door of the apartment building, they saw a deadly muzzle flame lit up in the second-story window of the apartment building!

    Seven elite mercenaries who had been ambushing inside the apartment building used HK-416 precision shooting to instantly harvest the lives of more than a dozen Frankenstein men.

    The rest were about to raise their guns and fire at the ambushing enemies in the building.

    I was caught off guard by a bullet from the west side of the street.

    ¡ª¡ª Twenty ordinary mercenaries equipped with interceptor body armor began to attack the only remaining subordinates of Frankenstein.

    Within five minutes of the outbreak of this encounter, more than a hundred soldiers under Frankenstein¡¯s soldiers were almost slaughtered...

    At this time, Lin Chi, who planned the attack, was hiding in a side street one kilometer away, using a small drone developed in his workshop to watch the scene on the battlefield.

    "What''s the matter?" He frowned slightly.

    Although it looks like his own unit has won a big victory, Lin Chi did not relax his vigilance, but his expression became more solemn.

    In fact, even if a precise battle plan was drawn up, he still thought that his own forces would fight against Frankenstein''s men back and forth, and he never expected that the battle situation would be such a one-sided and complete crush.

    ¡ª¡ªThat "Frankenstein" can''t have only this strength. What is he planning?

    Realizing that something was wrong, seeing that Frankenstein''s subordinates were almost dead, Lin Chi used the radio command to order the mercenaries there to retreat, and he stood up and moved his exoskeleton-clad body.

    The red dot that now marks the location of Frankenstein is still one kilometer away, and it should have started the optical camouflage.

    It seems that even if the mercenaries are equipped with thermal imaging mirrors, they cannot track that weird player.

    In this way, you can only go after Frankenstein yourself!

    Lin Chi put the drone''s remote control device into his briefcase, and when he was about to turn around and leave, a gloomy figure suddenly appeared at the end of the alley, blocking his way.

    "I knew it was so."

    When seeing the face of "Gray Fox" hidden by the mask, Lin Chi curled his mouth and revealed a ridiculous smile.

 Chapter 63-Unreliable Killer

    The ancients said that "catch the thief first, catch the king." When he discovered that the grey fox had left the ranks of Frankenstein, Lin had expected that the opponent would come to find him sooner or later.

    But this time, the situation is different from last time:

    He had already made sufficient preparations, and he would not be chopped off all over the street like last time.

    "Start to clear the target."

    The grey fox held up the katana with his right hand, and the blade made a gesture of "obliterating" the blade downward, and a scarlet blood glowed in the round hole in the center of the mask.

    Then, the nano armor shell on the mechanical ninja passed a dangerous cold light. Just as Lin Chi had just pulled out his saber, the gray fox had already stood in front of him as if teleporting, and the long sword pierced his abdomen.

    -Very fast speed.

    Lin Chi just came out of this idea in his consciousness. The virtual body that has been "struggled for hundreds of battles" in various games has reacted in advance and flashed to the right.

    The extremely sharp blade slashed against his waist, and once again tore away his long tattered black robe. What appeared next was a silver "iron pipe" fixed to his waist.

    ¡ª¡ªWith the power and agility bonus provided by the exoskeleton, Lin Chi''s physical fitness has also improved a lot from last time. He retreats silently like a ghost, avoiding the gray fox''s next two diagonal cuts. Two silver afterimages flashed through.

    Lin Chi''s current 18 points of strength and 16 points of agility have far surpassed ordinary people. Coupled with the original endurance of 18 points, he can support a long time in battle.

    ¡ª¡ªBut with this attribute alone, it is impossible to compete with the "Gray Fox"!

    Click!

    The sharp cold light almost slashed against Lin Chi''s throat, leaving a huge "scar" on the wall next to it, and even directly cut through the reinforced concrete wall!

    The gray fox, also a leader-level NPC, is one of the first experimental products for the biochemical transformation of humans, and its combat power is far beyond the reach of humans.

    Even Lin Chi''s current state can only be able to dodge the opponent''s attack, without even the slightest chance of counterattack.

    The scarlet light circulated in the alleys. The gray fox''s movements were several times more agile than the real foxes. The narrow alleys did not hinder his movements at all, and any objects in front of him were cut away with a single knife!

    "This knife is probably a legendary equipment..." Lin Chi complained secretly in his heart.

    He can see that he must not touch the succinct katana in the hands of the gray fox. As long as he is chopped, he will be GAME-OVER, and he will directly withdraw from the stage of history!

    But even though the situation is quite passive, he still has one last "killer''s key" left unused.

    "It seems there is no way."If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

    Realizing that he would finish playing this way sooner or later, at the moment when he was about to retreat to the end of the alley, Lin Chi opened the skill bar with a consciousness and used the skill he acquired after building the barracks.

    -Horn of War!

    When the "horn of war" was turned on, his strength, agility and endurance were all Ascension points, his strength and endurance immediately reached an astonishing 23 points, and his agility directly reached 21 points.

    boom!

    Lin Chi kicked the trash can in front of him, and as usual, the grey fox slashed away the flying "Hidden Weapons". Then, the mechanical ninja suddenly noticed that there was a scratch on the Nano Battle Armor on his waist.

    ¡ª¡ªAs soon as the trash can flew over, the young man in black robes had already lowered his figure and rushed over like a cheetah. Taking advantage of the brief moment of gray fox distraction, he passed by the ninja, passing by the ninja by the way. One knife.

    Although this knife did not cause damage to the mechanical ninja, it was Lin Chi''s first counterattack since the start of the war!

    If Lin Chi''s physical functions before were only far superior to ordinary people, then after opening the horn of war, he has reached the Realm of "superpowers"!

    With the attribute bonus of the horn of war, Lin Chi has completely entered the state of a "berserker" now, feeling that his body is full of power that keeps running away, and even has the illusion that he can fly at any time.

    ¡ª¡ªEven though the setting is quite realistic, "War Paradise" is still a game with attribute values added. The strength of the player''s virtual character will be added to the attribute value.

    And this kind of game, when the player''s attribute value is too high, there will often be some unthinkable phenomena. Like now...

    The grey fox turned around and swung the knife at the black-clothed man behind him, but he saw the opposite direction and then jumped out four meters away, avoiding its own attack range!

    Seeing this scene, even the grey fox, who has been invincible since the beginning of the game, couldn''t help but make a deep voice:

    "Your body... has also been transformed?"

    "Who knows." Lin Chi smiled.

    According to the attribute value setting of "War Paradise", the average strength, agility and endurance attributes of ordinary people are all 10 points. However, all of Lin Chi''s three attributes have reached more than 20 o''clock, which is twice as much as that of ordinary people.

    Under this circumstance, the bonus of the attribute value to his body has reached a terrifying level!

    Although the horn of war can only last for half an hour, in Lin Chi''s view, half an hour is enough to decide the outcome.

    Seeing the epic saber in his hand, unable to cut through the nano armor on the mechanical ninja, Lin Chi didn''t say much, but put the saber away and took out a black iron rod with a "retro" shape from his briefcase.

    The thing looked like it was removed from the anti-theft window, and there was nothing to say about it. The extremely sharp samurai sword in the hands of Grey Fox is not on the same level...

    "You want to use this to fight me?" Gray Fox whispered.

    "Of course." Lin Chi shook the iron rod in his hand: "This is my''secret weapon''."

    The red light in the center of the gray fox''s mask seemed to be brighter when he heard the other party''s remarks about suspected psychosis. This mechanical ninja''s figure was empty, and the whole person turned into a gloomy afterimage, rushing towards Lin Chi.

    When the enemy''s strength was unexpected, the grey fox finally played its own full strength!

    A sharp long knife capable of severing the shell of the titanium alloy mecha was slashed towards Lin Chi''s neck. The speed was so fast that Lin Chi, who had opened the horn of war, had no time to dodge, so he could only raise the iron rod to block at the last moment. ¡ª¡ª

    Then, an unexpected scene happened:

    clang!

    A dazzling spark burst out, and the invincible samurai sword in Grey Fox''s hand was actually blocked by Lin Chi''s broken iron rod...

    "..."

    Unexpectedly, the gray fox did not continue to attack, but stared down at the blade that flashed with cold light, still sharp.

    "What''s the matter?" Lin Chi showed a malicious smile on his face: "Have you begun to doubt life?"

    "It''s impossible." The gray fox''s voice became deeper and deeper.

    In this city, nothing can stop his slash.

    If it was blocked by a killing weapon developed by the military, he would never have imagined that his own killing blow would be blocked by a broken iron rod!

    "What''s your weapon...?" The Grey Fox raised the knife and pointed it directly at Lin Chi''s head.

    "I said it was sawn from the anti-theft window, would you believe it?" Lin Chi smiled.

    As soon as these words came out, the mechanical ninja was silent again.

    ...

    At the same moment when the full-wavelength scan was underway, the mining queen and the unnamed girl had returned to the safe house that had been transformed into a workshop.

    Since the two of them did not join the fighting power of the large-scale conflict, Lin Chi did not take them to the battlefield together, but drove them back to the safe house before the war started.

    However, before Lin Chi left, she asked the girl to complete a special job for herself.

    ¡ª¡ªBefore leaving the safe house, Lin Chi specially asked her to use a chainsaw to saw off an iron bar on the rust-proof window behind the safe house.

    With the power of a girl, just operating the chainsaw is already very troublesome. Until now, her hands are still tingling slightly, which is obviously a "sequelae" of using the chainsaw just now.

    "What the hell is he thinking?" The girl grumbled angrily, and wiped the metal residue on her face with her little aching hand.

    "do not know."

    Media smiled, looking thoughtfully at the sawn security window at the back of the workshop:

    She remembered that when she remodeled the workshop last night, she also tried to remove the broken thing. But at that time, no matter how hard I tried, the seemingly rusty anti-theft window was still as solid as a rock and motionless!

    That kind of feeling... it''s almost like being restricted by "laws".

    But just now, this girl easily destroyed the anti-theft window that she could not destroy!

    ¡ª¡ªWhat is going on?

    The woman called the Queen of Mines frowned slightly.

    She thought for a while, and didn''t say much, just returned to the laboratory on the second floor and continued to study the ore she had brought.

 Chapter 64 Nuclear Energy Reaction

    The crisp sound of impact reverberated in the alley, and the pitch-black iron rod and silver long knife collided countless times within five minutes, but they could not hurt each other.

    As the tyrannical battle broke out, the walls inside the alley seemed to have been visited by the demolition team. They were blasted to tears. Two broken walls slowly collapsed, stirring up a choking gray smoke screen.

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Chi, whose right hand was already numb, quickly retreated from the melee range of the gray fox, shook his unconscious right hand, and stared with satisfaction at the unreliable broken iron in his hand. stick.

    ¡ª¡ªThis weapon looks like rubbish, but it is the only melee weapon in my hand that can rival the Grey Fox''s knife!

    Because it was removed from the security window of the safe house by a girl who could ignore the rules of the game.

    ¡ª¡ªAccording to the rules of the game, safe houses cannot be destroyed. Even if they encounter a nuclear explosion, these houses will continue to stay in place, providing an extremely solid ¡°refuge¡± for the players who bought it.

    In other words, whether it is a wooden door that seems to be directly kicked open, or a rusty anti-theft window, there are "absolutely indestructible" existences in the game settings.

    And under the protection of the rules of the game, this iron rod in his hand has become an indestructible super weapon!

    Staring alertly at the smoke screen in front of him, Lin Chi stepped on a can when slowly backing up, and his body shook and almost fell.

    "Damn..." he cursed.

    If it was normal, Lin Chi would naturally not make such a low-level error, but after five minutes of high-intensity close combat, he was also exhausted at this time.

    He has to admit that the combat effectiveness of the gray fox is really beyond the range that humans can bear...

    The "Knife King" and Afterimage that I encountered before are also very capable of close combat, but these two guys are at least in the category of "humans".

    The gray fox whose body has undergone biochemical transformation has already completely surpassed the limits of humans in combat, and cannot be called a human soldier.

    There is no doubt that this mechanical ninja is the strongest opponent Lin Chi has encountered in this game!

    boom!

    The wall cut by the knife around him collapsed, and Lin Chi rushed forward two steps quickly, avoiding the pouring concrete block.

    Then, he immediately discovered a strange phenomenon:

    The grey fox did not chase it.

    According to that guy''s storm-like attack mode, the smoke screen should have been breakthrough long ago. Strangely, the grey fox did not chase himself down, nor made any sound.

    Realizing that something was wrong, Lin Chi walked forward into the gray smoke alertly, and then saw a strange scene:

    The mechanical ninja, who was extremely fierce just now, had already put away the katana, holding a small syringe with his right hand, and piercing it toward his neck.

    ¡ª¡ªIs this...

    Seeing the gray fox''s "drug-taking" behavior, Lin Chi suddenly thought of something, waved an iron rod and rushed up, hitting the opponent''s right hand without any fancy!

    Faced with Lin Chi''s simple and rude attack, the Grey Fox leaped back and drew away from this strike without any suspense, but it also slightly delayed the timing of the injection.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.

    "It''s not fair to use stimulants in fights, right?"

    Lin Chi''s mouth was nonsense, and his body rushed up again, relying on the super physical stamina brought by the exoskeleton and the war horn, he continued to chase the gray fox to stop the guy''s injection process.

    ¡ª¡ªAs the first model of the mechanical biochemical man, the gray fox''s physical condition is not stable and requires regular use of drugs to maintain combat effectiveness.

    According to information obtained by Lin Chi, the hero-level and special NPCs that can be hired in "War Paradise" all have special requirements.

    It seems that, like Crazy Evan¡¯s ¡°must be exploded every six hours¡±, Grey Fox¡¯s special requirement is that it needs to be injected with drugs!

    So now, as long as the gray fox is not given the opportunity to inject, maybe this guy can lose his combat effectiveness!

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi also waved an iron rod to chase the opponent, leaving no chance for the grey fox to breathe. For a while, the scale of victory seemed to start to tilt towards him...

    However, the Grey Fox obviously has more than just this combat power.

    boom!

    A heavy kick of the Grey Fox hit Lin Chi''s waist directly, kicking him back five meters, and falling into the smoke screen created by the collapse of the wall!

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, the mechanical ninja raised his right hand, which had already begun to tremble, and immediately injected himself with medicine.

    Throwing the empty syringe aside, the gray fox was about to draw his sword, and he heard the sound of a motorcycle engine suddenly sounded in the smoke screen in front of him.

    "..."

    The mechanical ninja put his right hand on the hilt, ready to deal with the battle.

    But what appeared in his sight next was obviously something he had never seen before¡ª

    A silver-painted tire, breakthrough smoke rolled out, and leaped happily towards him. Two black smoke burst out from the exhaust pipe behind.

    If it were in a normal state, the gray fox could cut the thing in half with a knife instantly, but his weakened body just after the injection of the drug made his drawing speed slower by 0.5 seconds.

    And this one-half second determined the outcome of the battle.

    boom!

    The streets of Xicheng District, which had just experienced a big bang, had a big bang again.

    The power of Junkrat¡¯s "new bomb tire complete version", like last time, exceeded Lin Chi''s estimate.

    Hidden at the end of the alley, he was blown three meters away by the tyrannical shock wave that hit his face again, and he fell heavily on the sidewalk.

    As a ball of fire slowly rose from the alley, the two poor buildings on both sides finally became overwhelmed and began to fall apart.

    Under Lin Chi''s gaze, the scarred figure of the grey fox emerged from the smoke of the explosion.

    This once invincible mechanical ninja raised his own samurai sword for the last time. Then he fell on his back feebly, and the red light in the middle of the mask flickered and then went out.

    "You won." Grey Fox said.

    "Next time I have a chance, I will recruit you." Lin Chi said, stood up and patted the dust on his body.

    Seeing that he finally solved the hired "BOSS", he did not rush to search for the corpse, but immediately started to contact his mercenaries by radio:

    "Quickly leave that area and come back to me. If possible, inform the prisoners to also retreat."

    ¡ª¡ªRecalling the batch of uranium ore that Frankenstein had before, Lin Chi had already guessed what the guy wanted to do:

    Even if Frankenstein is unable to make nuclear weapons for a while, those ores can be roughed and then used as another form of weapon!

    Five seconds later, a mercenary''s voice sounded from the earphones: "The prisoner has already killed the red eye. He doesn''t listen to us at all..."

    "Then leave them alone, retreat quickly!" Lin Chi ordered immediately.

    He saw the red dot on the minimap that marked the location of Frankenstein and retreated outside the area where the battle broke out. He must be about to do it...

    "Received, retreat immediately."

    After receiving the employer''s news, the ordinary mercenaries immediately began to retreat. Under the protection of the interceptor''s body armor and ceramic bulletproof flaps, they lost only one person and wiped out all 30 of Frankenstein''s subordinates.

    The elite mercenaries, who were almost unscathed, also immediately took advantage of the "out of sight" characteristics, and disappeared in the shadow of the corridor.

    But at this time, the bloodthirsty fanatics from the Dark Tower continued to frantically launch the "Dead Whip Operation" against Frankenstein''s subordinates...

    These murderers, who had been suppressed in prison for a long time, were given a chance to vent. After tasting the long-lost blood, they have completely lost their minds and even started to kill each other!

    "Die!"

    The bald man with a scarlet tattoo on his face stretched out his hand to tear open the throat of a "companion" and kicked the other''s body to the ground with one foot.

    At this time, the people still alive in the bloody park seemed to have become unstoppable slaughter machines!

    But even so, their bodies are nothing more than human flesh and blood.

    "Um?"

    The blood-covered bald man suddenly started to have a headache. He looked down at his own hands, but saw six obscure and deformed palms.

    Realizing that there was a double image in the scene in front of him, he thought it was too cool to kill, so he had hallucinations. But the burning pain that erupted from the body afterwards completely shattered his guess.

    "Uh¡­¡­"

    The bald man bowed his head and spit out a mouthful of blood, and wanted to continue walking, but his weak legs did not respond to his expectation. He fell to the ground with a skewed body, and the scene in front of him turned into a bloody bright red.

    While he fell to the ground, the remaining prisoners in the park also fell to the ground almost at the same moment, struggling in vain and sluggishly, like a fish thrown ashore.

    "Sure enough..."

    Lin Chi, who started to operate the drone again, just controlled the drone to fly above the park, and saw that his prisoners were almost dead!

    ¡ª¡ªFrankenstein did not continue to make atomic bombs from uranium ore, but created some kind of device that can release super-strong nuclear radiation.

    It seems that the killing speed of radiation in the game is even faster than in the real world!

    The super-strong radiation dose almost immediately killed a large number of cells in the prisoners. Lin Chi could see that the prisoners were simply not alive than dead at this time!

    Realizing this, Lin Chi shook his head, did not say much, just took off the warden''s bracelet on his right wrist and threw it on the ground.

    Twenty seconds later, the prisoner''s wristband automatically injected a deadly poison into them, allowing these poor people who were extremely painful to finally get relief.

    Seeing these disobedient "subordinates" all died in action, Lin Chi sighed.

    -Obviously, in "War Paradise", radiation is set to be an extremely terrifying existence. Fortunately, all the mercenaries under his command evacuated safely.

    "Boss, what instructions do you have next?" an elite mercenary asked.

    Looking at the figure of the mercenary coming towards him, Lin Chi lowered his voice slightly: "Of course it was to kill the b*****d."

    ¡ª¡ªAlthough he has no feelings for the prisoners in the Dark Tower, Frankenstein did brutally kill the "subordinates" belonging to his own.

    So now, it''s time for that monster to pay its debts.

 Chapter 65 Armor of Wrath

    A bloody shadow enveloped the entire park, and this area that had been exposed to super-strong nuclear radiation had become a complete Death Realm.

    Lin Chi led the mercenaries around the radiation area near the park, and continued to chase the lone red dot on the west side of the map.

    At the same time, he turned on the radio and began to contact the "mining queen" who was in the workshop.

    "What''s the matter?" Media''s voice came from the headset: "Need help?"

    "I remember you said that this drone is equipped with a Geiger counter, right?" Lin Chi was talking while looking at the black drone hovering in the air in front of him: "How to activate this function?"

    Media once said that own work often deals with radioactive materials, so basically any electronic equipment made by itself is equipped with a Geiger counter, which can measure the surrounding radiation value.

    Since he doesn''t know whether other nearby areas have been irradiated, he also needs equipment to measure the radiation value.

    "Ah, there is indeed...you open the option in the menu of the operating software and click on the''measure ray value''." Media''s voice was unabashedly proud: "Am I too predictable s*x?"

    "Thanks."

    Following the instructions of the Queen of Mines, Lin Chi turned on the radiation detection function of the small drone. On the screen of the tablet computer controlling the drone, a number indicating the intensity of the ray suddenly appeared.

    The drone flew in a circle ahead, and soon detected two other areas that were being irradiated by super-strong rays, one of which was on Lin Chi''s original route.

    "Want to yin me? You are still a little tender..." Lin Chi pouted and smiled.

    With the help of a drone, he bypassed the radiation area on the street in front, followed a route where no radiation burst out, and continued to chase Frankenstein.

    ¡ª¡ªEven if Frankenstein bought a lot of uranium ore, it would take a large amount of enriched uranium to produce this level of radiation.

    Judging from the scope of these radiation areas, the uranium ore that guy has on hand is probably all used in these places, and there should be no more energy to continue to produce radiation.

    But... even Lin Chi had never expected that this war would develop to such an extent.

    Mindful of this, he also quickened his pace again.

    ¡ª¡ªFrankenstein, this b*****d is even more dangerous than he thought. If he let him go this time, the consequences would be disastrous!

    But not long after Lin Chi had walked, he saw a red dot and rushed along the street on the east side.

    Realizing that other players were about to attack him, Lin Chi immediately ordered the mercenaries to prepare for the attack, and he planned to lead the elite mercenary team to continue chasing Frankenstein.

    However, the player who suddenly launched the attack obviously came prepared¡ª

    Bang bang bang...

    The rhythmic sound of gunfire like firecrackers came from the other side of the street. Lin Chi was caught off guard and retreated to the corner as quickly as possible.

    A dense rain of bullets blasted over, and a terrifying torrent instantly covered the street in front. The other party apparently sent a large number of soldiers to suppress themselves.

    In this case, as long as the head is exposed, it will be blasted into rags, and on the other side of the street, there are also a few Daoist shadows...Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

    "Want to surround me?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.

    ¡ª¡ªObviously, the opponent is planning to encircle and annihilate himself, and that guy''s strength is indeed much more than his own.

    If Crazy Ivan is still there, it may be possible to use bombs to solve part of the force, but the mentally unstable Demoman has already been sent out by Lin Chi to perform other tasks, and he is not in this area at the moment!

    But even so, he has other solutions.

    "Boss, do you want to kill?" asked a bearded mercenary with bullet holes in his body armor.

    "Wait a minute." Lin Chi blocked these brave soldiers, then raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a dangerous smile:

    "Bring my armor."

    Before he finished speaking, from the street on the east side, a male voice that was amplified several times by a loudspeaker suddenly came out:

    "Boy, do you have the ability to come out and play?"

    ...

    Standing in the back row of the convertible jeep holding a loudspeaker, is a guy with a moustache and casual clothes, looking very rude, with crescent-shaped eyes and a big "funny" on his face. Two words.

    Although he looks like an uninfluenced little gangster, this man with a Mohican hairstyle is also one of the famous players since the "War of Heaven" test. Like Frankenstein, he has also made some rankings. ¡ª¡ªLower Warlord!

    This guy with the nickname "Low-Order Warlord" is one of the most famous violent soldiers in the game. His tactic is to completely abandon the technology tree, go crazy with violent soldiers at the fastest speed, and then use an endless sea of people. Overpower your opponent!

    As the saying goes, "Two fists are hard to beat four hands, and a good man can''t stand a lot of people." The low-level warlord won two death games by using the tactics of sending troops madly on any map. They beat the master with random punches.

    Although he met the famous "Frankenstein" this time, he also got a little serious. But the enemy who was blocked by himself at the corner of the street was obviously not the incredible monster, but other players.

    Because a large number of troops of the low-ranking warlords died in the explosion of the cloud bomb just now, now he has only more than two hundred mercenaries left.

    But more than two hundred people, to solve a player, in his opinion, it is more than enough!

    "Come out and die!" The man with Mohican''s hair sneered, holding up his trumpet, "Are you only hiding behind mercenaries?"

    While delaying time, the three teams of twenty each sent by him had already begun to surround the enemy from three directions.

    Even so, the red dot on the street corner did not choose to escape, but continued to stay in place, not knowing what he was calculating.

    ¡ª¡ªAre you going to have a dead fish and break the net?

    Thinking of this, a contemptuous smile appeared on the wretched faces of the low-ranking warlords.

    Seeing that the three squads had reached the target location, they could kill them immediately. He jumped out of the jeep, took out a black P90 submachine gun from his backpack, and issued a concise and clear combat command:

    "Do it!"

    With an order, more than a hundred mercenaries around him rushed up like hungry tigers. The three squads responsible for the encirclement also immediately left their hidden positions and fired at the enemy on the corner!

    Crazy bullet rain covered the entire street. Although a dozen mercenaries on the opposite side were also firing, they were quickly defeated and returned to the apartment building behind.

    "It''s not dead yet?" The low-ranking warlord frowned slightly.

    He could see that the enemy''s mercenaries should be equipped with high-performance body armor. Under this level of firepower, only two people were killed, and nearly ten people on their side were killed...

    But even so, the huge gap in numbers cannot be made up!

    Looking at the red dot that retreated into the apartment building with the mercenaries, the low-ranking warlord smiled triumphantly. When he was about to order the mercenaries to equip the bazooka to blow up the building, an unexpected situation happened.

    ¡ª¡ªThe red dot on the map began to move at a weird speed. It moved more than a hundred meters in seven seconds, and rushed directly to another fast food restaurant nearby. The speed was so fast that the mercenaries surrounding the apartment building had no time to react!

    "Under what circumstances, Bolt switched to playing games after retiring?"

    The low-ranking warlord frowned and ordered the twenty soldiers standing by over there to prepare to meet the enemy.

    ¡ª¡ªEven if that guy runs fast, he can''t get faster than the bullet. Under the attack of twenty soldiers, he can only end in Death!

    Soon, there was a burst of intensive gunfire on the south side of the street where the red dot was located.

    Realizing that his twenty soldiers were engaged in a firefight with the enemy, the low-ranking warlord raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and sent another forty soldiers to surround him.

    I was staring at the red dot on the map, waiting for the red dot to disappear and the moment when the kill prompt appeared.

    ¡ª¡ªThe red dot has not disappeared.

    "What''s the matter, what are you doing to eat?" The low-ranking warlord turned on the radio and cursed: "Can''t even kill one person?"

    Then came the sound of a light machine gun firing, and a vague scream:

    "Boss, we can''t stand it anymore!"

    "What''s the joke, you can''t beat anyone alone?" The low-ranking warlord frowned.

    He knew that the other party might have hired some elite mercenaries, but even so, surrounded by sixty people, it is impossible to come back!

    Under the gaze of the low-ranking warlord, the forty soldiers who had just been dispatched also rushed across the street corner and began to fight head-on with the player.

    Then, with a vague scream, the forty people also lost contact...

    "What the hell?" The low-ranking warlord clenched his fists.

    Although he has always been playing the tactics of the sea of people, his mercenaries are also well-equipped, not trash fish with low combat effectiveness.

    Sixty mercenaries were killed by the opponent at such a fast speed. In his opinion, it is simply a fantasy, it is impossible to happen!

    If the opponent used a bomb, he could kill sixty people in an instant, but there was no explosion at the corner of the street, only a fierce gun battle took place!

    ¡ª¡ªWhat did that guy do?

    Realizing that the situation is not good, the low-level warlord has not had time to continue to issue combat orders. The shadow of Daoist, who walked out of the corner of the street, has already answered his question:

    It was a tall, bloated "Fatty". The super-heavy armor was covered with bullet burn marks. The semi-circular helmet was painted with grinning pale skeletons. In his hand, he held a MG3 universal. machine gun. Standing on the street, it looks like a crazy God of War.

    At this time, blue smoke appeared all over his body, but there was no bullet that could penetrate the terrifying armor of his body!

    Behind this person appeared seven elite mercenaries whose faces were concealed by skull masks. The camouflage combat uniforms were stained with blood, but their eyes were still extremely firm, just like executioners from The Underworld, faithfully executing the killing orders.

    Seeing the incredible scene, even the low-level warlord couldn''t help being silent. For a while, he forgot to order his subordinates to launch an attack, and just asked blankly:

    "This is... the armor of the Fearless Warrior?"

    The other party did not answer this question, and a dull voice sounded under the helmet:

    "You just said that I would only hide behind mercenaries?"

    The low-ranking warlord was silent. He knew that what he said just now was really wrong...

 Chapter 66-The Unstoppable Killing Machine

    "What a joke..."

    Staring dumbfounded at the terrifying God of War standing on the other side of the street, the low-level warlord couldn''t even believe his own eyes.

    He thought that the other party had used some kind of opportunistic means to kill the sixty soldiers under his command. But now it seems that this guess is obviously wrong and outrageous:

    This person turned out to be wearing a set of heavy armor, and slaughtered his own army in a "frontally tough" way!

    The low-ranking warlords also knew something about the "Dreadnought Warrior Armor" equipment. In fact, although this heavy armor can withstand a large number of bullets, its problem is that its flexibility is too low.

    The armor of the fearless warrior in the game is basically a magic-modified explosion-proof suit. A set weighs at least 30 kilograms. After putting it on, let alone running, even walking can''t walk fast.

    Only a powerful muscular character can control this kind of heavy armor. So here comes the question:

    Even if this guy really adds attribute points to strength, it shouldn''t be possible to survive.

    A character wearing the armor of the fearless warrior cannot move at a high speed. When facing a collective shooting of sixty soldiers, they can only hold for a few more seconds at most, and they will still be bombarded into fragments...

    ¡ª¡ªHow did this guy do it?

    When the low-ranking warlord was wondering, he saw that the seven mercenaries behind him all threw smoke grenades.

    Only then did he come to his senses and ordered his men to open fire immediately, leaving a group of people watching who had just hid in the building.

    The enemy himself began to retreat under the protection of twenty mercenaries.

    ¡ª¡ªIt is better to be safe in the face of such an unthinkable opponent.

    But before he could take a few steps, he saw a few smoke bombs flying out of the windows in the building, creating a large amount of white smoke on the street, completely obstructing his vision!

    Seeing this scene, the low-level warlord immediately realized that the opponent might be equipped with thermal imaging equipment, and immediately ordered the soldiers without thermal imaging mirrors to retreat.

    But he soon discovered that the own radio signal was also interfered, and he couldn''t give instructions to the soldiers under his command at all!

    "Oops¡­¡­"

    Realizing that the situation is not good, the low-level warlords can no longer take care of the large forces in front, and can only order the twenty mercenaries around them to protect themselves from retreating.

    Then, he heard dense gunfire and screams from the pale smoke screen behind him.This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

    ...

    When Lin Chi activated the jammer on the drone and blocked the radio signal in this neighborhood, the communication between him and the ordinary mercenaries under him was cut off at the same time.

    But now, with the smog covering the streets, there is no need to issue any new combat orders.

    To put it another way: the killing time has begun...

    "f**k them!"

    Following Lin Chi''s order, the seven elite mercenaries activated the thermal imaging mirrors at the same time, and they easily harvested the lives of more than a dozen enemy soldiers in a near-targeting manner through the smoke.

    For fear of hitting the friendly forces, the enemy troops in the smoke screen did not shoot, but quickly retreated, intending to leave this low-visibility area.

    But they obviously didn''t expect that someone wearing bloated heavy armor, who seemed to be slow, had already rushed through the smoke...

    Seeing that the enemy was retreating, Lin Chi, who had activated the thermal imaging camera, lowered his figure, and rushed forward at a speed that broke the world record for the 100-meter race while wearing the armor of the fearless warrior, and rushed to the back of the crowd in an instant!

    ¡ª¡ªWith the addition of the exoskeleton and the horn of war, his physical fitness has reached a terrifying level. The 30-kilogram armor of the fearless warrior is like a vest to him, and it has no movement speed at all. Influence!

    Reaching out and twisting the neck of a mercenary, Lin Chi flew up, and the heavy metal boots with iron blocks directly kicked another soldier next to him, and saw that the soldier''s waist suddenly bends ninety degrees. At the same time, there was a fracture sound like a branch breaking off.

    Seeing this "big guy" rushed forward, the soldiers immediately drew their guns and prepared to fire. It''s a pity that their speed is not even as fast as the opponent...

    Click!

    Lin Chi broke the arm of a mercenary next to him, picked up the opponent''s body with his right hand, and threw the opponent five meters away with one hand, knocking down the other two soldiers who were about to shoot.

    While the soldiers were in a panic, a cold light flashed in the tactical glove of his right hand, and the blade of the epic hunting knife was bent in a strange arc, like a short-handled sickle used by the gods of death to harvest life.

    "Goodbye."

    Raising his hand and slashing open the body armor of the mercenary in front of him, he also cut open the opponent''s chest by the way. Lin Chi rushed into the crowd and began to brutally harvest the lives of enemy soldiers.

    Fortunately, the white smoke produced by the smoke bomb blocks the line of sight, otherwise if the low-level warlord sees this scene, they will probably be vomiting blood.

    The army of mercenaries he was proud of was being slaughtered frantically by a player, almost cutting the grass!

    In less than twenty seconds, ten soldiers have died tragically in Lin Chi''s hands!

    The mercenaries behind began to shoot indiscriminately, but the bullets they fired were all blocked by the armor of the fearless warrior on Lin Chi...

    For Lin Chi now, the shortcomings of the Fearless Warrior''s armor being too bulky, no longer exist.

    What his enemy is facing is a terrifying soldier who wears heavy armor and moves at a speed close to that of a ninja!

    "Die."

    He stabbed a mercenary who was fleeing into the back of the neck, and reached out to wipe the blood on the glass guard of the mask.

    Through the eyepieces of the thermal imaging camera, Lin Chi discovered that a large number of enemy soldiers did not rush to kill him, but began to flee around. The previous "professionalism" disappeared, but it seemed to be scared away by gunfire. Herd.

    Seeing this scene, his face under the mask couldn''t help showing a scornful smile, and roared: "Kill them!"

    Hearing his voice, the seven elite mercenaries who had temporarily stopped firing in the back began to fire again to harvest the enemy¡¯s lives, and Lin Chi also took off the machine gun hanging on his back and poured out terrifying bullets at the fleeing enemies. rain.

    "Ha, it''s like shooting a target."

    Lin Chi, who strode forward with his machine gun, was like an irresistible God of War.

    Listening to the rhythmic gunfire of MG3, watching the escaping enemy fall down like a cut leek. He has to admit that although he is completely uninterested in "abusive food", this level of sling is still very pleasant...

    ¡ª¡ª The player "Lower Warlord" was killed by the player "Reverse Current"!

    Lin Chi didn''t know how long he had been killing, until the killing prompt appeared in front of him, he finally recovered, strode out of the smoke and returned to the seven elite mercenaries.

    "How''s it going to kill you?" He laughed.

    As soon as these words came out, the elite mercenaries who had just put away their rifles suddenly frowned in the shape of a river. After a moment of silence, a mercenary whispered:

    "The leader is so perverted..."

    Hearing this, Lin Chi took off the heavy helmet on his head, with a kind smile on his face, and asked, "What did you say?"

    "Nothing is nothing, you are really amazing!" The elite mercenaries waved their hands quickly.

    Recalling the actions of their leader just now, these veterans who have experienced many battles actually felt a rare trace of subtle fear...

    After confirming that all the mercenaries under the player had escaped, Lin Chi took off the heavy armor of the fearless warrior, moved his limbs, and wiped off a few drops of sweat on his forehead.

    He opened the status bar to confirm, and saw that the "War Horn" skill he had activated had fifteen minutes remaining.

    ¡ª¡ªIf you can catch up with Frankenstein within these fifteen minutes, the bandaged monster will undoubtedly have no chance of winning!

    Just when Lin Chi turned his gaze on the small map to find the location of Frankenstein, he found an unexpected situation:

    The lone red dot that was escaping to the west of the map a few minutes ago has now...disappeared.

 Chapter 67: The Disappearing Monster

    On the other side of the Xicheng District, Crazy Evan happily carried a bomb backpack and planned to turn around and leave. Obviously, the explosion of the weapon shop that killed more than 30 of Frankenstein¡¯s men in a flash just now was due to his handwriting.

    After installing the bomb in the weapon shop, he also installed several mines in the rear of the advancing enemy army according to Lin Chi''s instructions.

    It now appears that although the enemy did retreat, the mines were not triggered.

    Nevertheless, the explosion of the weapon shop just now made Crazy Yiwen very satisfied!

    "Hehehe..."

    Recalling the gorgeous "fireworks" he had just made, Crazy Ivan scratched his shiny head, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

    But he had just entered the originally planned retreat route-the sewer of Xicheng District, and suddenly stopped in place, frowning slightly, using the low-light night vision device to observe the surroundings.

    "I smell a dangerous smell..." the blasting expert from the Soviet Union said to himself.

    By this, he suddenly noticed that an inconspicuous gray trap was installed on the ground in front of him.

    "Who?" Crazy Ivan pouted: "It looks like you like to play traps as much as I do. Come out!"

    ¡ª¡ªIf it is an enemy with a normal IQ, it is naturally impossible to show up obediently after hearing this sentence, but his enemy is obviously not a normal guy.

    Before Crazy Evan¡¯s voice fell, I saw a man with an explosive head walked out in the shadow in front of him. He looked like he had just crawled out of the crater. His right arm and leg were extraordinarily ¡°slender¡±, and some metal flashed out. Light.

    "You bombed the weapon shop just now? It''s amazing!" The other party made a strange, neurotic voice of Yin & Yang, which didn''t sound like a compliment, but more like a mockery.

    Hearing this, Crazy Evan also got interested, licked his lips and asked, "Are you also a blaster?"

    "Below is Junkrat!" The other party said as he took out a weird-looking grenade gun and pointed the muzzle at Crazy Ivan on the other side of the sewer: "Come on and have a good time!"

    "This city doesn''t need two blasters." Crazy Ivan opened the bomb backpack and took out a small timer and placed it in his hands.

    boom!

    As the two bomb madmen began to fight, a deafening roar erupted in the sewers of Xicheng District, and the already overwhelmed earth trembled again.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

    At this moment, on the other side of the Xicheng District, Lin Chi, who had just taken off the armor of the Fearless Warrior, was staring at the small map on the right side of his vision in confusion:

    "Um?"

    ¡ª¡ªIn the process of the mass killing just now, he did not pay much attention to the minimap for a few minutes, but in less than five minutes, Frankenstein disappeared inexplicably.

    Thanks to the cloud explosive bomb just now, the player currently displayed on the map of Xicheng District is the only one left. For the remaining dozen survivors, the nearest one is also on the east side of the city ten kilometers away.

    Could it be that Frankenstein flees to the other side of the city in a helicopter or a sports car?

    Lin Chi quickly denied this speculation. After all, even if he had a red eye, he would not ignore the high-speed moving red dots on the map.

    He remembered clearly that Frankenstein had indeed been moving to the west of the map, and then suddenly disappeared inexplicably.

    "What''s the matter?" Lin Chi stared at the situation on the map with furrowed brows.

    At the beginning of fighting with Frankenstein''s mercenary troops, the guy immediately used optical camouflage and decisively ran away in stealth. But even if he is invisible, the location is still displayed on the small map.

    To put it another way: in a full-wavelength scan, even if you wear a "stealth cloak", the location will still be marked on the map.

    ¡ª¡ªSo, what method did this guy use to completely disappear on the map?

    Lin Chi disbanded the seven elite mercenaries who were on standby behind him.

    He strode into the apartment building where the ordinary mercenaries were hiding, kicked open the broken wooden door closest to him, and walked into the simple decorated room.

    Pulling a wooden chair and sitting at the table, the empty room was used as a temporary "combat headquarters."

    He stared at the mini map earnestly, and counted the number of red dots left on the map:

    After the previous cloudburst baptism and several small-scale battles later, including myself, there were only thirteen "red dots" still displayed on the map.

    In other words, there are still thirteen players left in this Death game, and the battle is basically coming to an end soon.

    Just after Lin Chi finished counting the number of red dots, he noticed that another red dot was dimmed in Dongcheng District, and then a kill prompt popped up as usual:

    Player "Winter Horse Kazuya" was killed by player "Kizo Yukina"!

    If it were in normal times, Lin Chi would definitely complain about the names of these two characters right away, but he was not interested in complaining now, just continued to stare at the minimap intently.

    With the death of another player, there are only twelve players left in this game.

    However, by now, Lin Chi began to doubt the situation again:

    Are there really "Frankenstein" among these twelve people?

    He still remembered that during the second full-band scan, Frankenstein did not appear, although that guy may have been hiding in the distance and did not participate in the battle, but¡ª

    "Could it be that¡­¡­"

    Realizing that things might not be that simple, Lin Chi didn''t hesitate, and immediately ordered his mercenaries to gather in front of the building, and he tried to contact Crazy Yiwen to get the guy to evacuate as soon as possible.

    The strange thing is that Crazy Evan was also completely unable to contact at this time, hissing in the headset kept making it sound like it was interfered with by the signal.

    "never mind¡­¡­"

    Realizing that Crazy Ivan might be in battle, Lin Chi did not continue to try to contact the bomb mad, but led the ordinary mercenaries and strode towards the street where the "low-level warlord" had just appeared.

    The few jeeps left by the player just now were still parked on the street, which happened to provide a convenient means of transportation for Lin Chi and his soldiers.

    Seeing that Lin Chi had jumped into the driver''s seat of an open-top Jeep, a mercenary asked in a low voice: "Leader, please give instructions."

    "Well, the instructions are very simple." Lin Chi looked back at the well-equipped dozens of mercenaries: "Follow me and kill all the enemies that attack us on the road. Is there any problem?"

    "No problem." The mercenaries nodded one after another.

    If these ordinary mercenaries who were hired only last night had doubts about the combat effectiveness of their employers before the start of the war, after seeing the "massage" just now, they were completely convinced...

    There is no doubt that Lin Chi''s combat effectiveness is even more powerful than these soldiers!

    Before starting the jeep, Lin Chi called two elite mercenaries, and the two immediately walked out of a shop on the side of the street, and put the heavy armor of the fearless warrior on their hands on the back seat of the jeep.

    "Well, let''s go." Lin Chi nodded in satisfaction, looked at the two elite mercenaries he used as "porters", and motioned for them to get into the car.

    ¡ª¡ªSince Frankenstein refuses to show up, there is only one simple and rude solution left.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi raised the corners of his mouth with a dangerous smile on his face:

    The third full-band scan will end in one hour and thirty minutes.

    In his opinion, this one-and-a-half hour time is enough to kill all the remaining players... all.

 Chapter 68: The Destroyed City-1

    After the big explosion in Xicheng District, the number of citizens on the streets of Chaos City suddenly decreased.

    Unlike in earlier games, those mentally retarded NPCs that are completely immune to external influences, even ordinary NPCs in this game are not outright fools.

    Upon hearing the news of the explosion in the Xicheng District, the citizens also hid back to their homes. The remaining people on the street were basically only city guards patrolling, soldiers guarding in front of important buildings, and...

    The roar of wild engines reverberated in the streets of the city center. Several black convertible jeeps rushed past the street, realizing that these people were severely speeding, and the city guards had not had time to pursue them. Several cars were gone. .

    "GOGOGO!"

    Lin Chi, who was driving in the front, motioned the mercenaries behind to keep up with him, and continued to drive forward madly, the scene in front of him began to turn into blurry lights and shadows.

    At this time, his wanted index has reached three stars. However, as far as Lin Chi is concerned, Samsung''s Wanted Index cannot pose any threat at all...

    He slammed the steering wheel to the right, and the jeep quickly turned the corner in a dangerous posture with two wheels suspended in the air. Lin Chi saw that a red dot on the map was not far in front of this street!

    boom!

    With a shot, the bullet from the M24 sniper rifle smashed the front window of the jeep, directly pierced the seat of Lin Chi''s side, and bounced off the armor of the fearless soldier in the back row.

    Looking at the bullet holes opened in the car seat, Lin Chi had to admit that the opponent''s marksmanship was indeed accurate. but--

    "The driver''s seat of this car is on the right side, idiot!"

    Lin Chi stomped the gas pedal to the end, and the engine burst out with a savage roar. The jeep brought out a dark afterimage, and it ran over the man who was never able to put the sniper rifle away. Hundreds of times were pulled out under the wheel. The blood stains of rice.

    ¡ª¡ªThe player "Plague Spread" was killed by the player "Countercurrent"!

    When Lin Chi killed the player, his Wanted Index immediately rose to four stars. On the road ahead, several black SUVs of the city guard suddenly appeared, blocking his way.

    But before the city guard who was driving could get out of the car, he heard several crazy roars:

    "R¡ª¡ªP¡ª¡ªG!"

    Three puffs of white smoke burst from the back seats of the three black jeeps behind. The rockets dragged the pale smoke and directly hit the body of the SUV blocking the road in front. The city guards flew back with their car, turning into a twisted burning wreck in the sound of the explosion!

    Since he had anticipated this situation a long time ago, Lin Chi bought some RPG-7 rocket launchers at a gun shop on the side of the road before drove into the city center and handed them to his mercenaries.

    Although there will be a bazooka in the gun shop, it is a bit magical. But in this game, he has already seen a more magical "story"...This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

    The jeep rushed through the thick smoke that enveloped the intersection, bringing out a few long tail fumes. Next to the SUV that was blown up, the surviving city guards hadn''t recovered yet, they had been sent to the west with random guns by the mercenaries.

    Because of killing city guards on the street, Lin Chi''s Wanted Index has reached five stars at this time, and he is only one star short of triggering the reward quest again!

    But he knew that even if he triggered the reward quest, he wouldn''t be as embarrassed as when he was wanted by the whole city last time.

    Because, besides myself, there are only ten players left in this city!

    Driving through the sparsely populated street, Lin Chi hurriedly toward the location of the next red dot, continuing to execute the simple and rude killing plan.

    By this time, the effect of "War Horn" on Lin Chi had disappeared. But even so, he, who holds the title of "Old Driver", is already familiar with driving vehicles in the game.

    The dark convoy raged in the city center and quickly rushed to the east city, like an unstoppable army. Within five minutes, it harvested two more players and the lives of their soldiers.

    Then, he saw the red system prompt text in the lower right corner of his vision:

    There are less than ten players remaining in the game, and it has entered the final stage!

    In order to make it easier for you to find the enemy, before the last survivor is contested, the effect of full-band scanning will last forever until there is only the last victor. I wish you all a happy hunting!

    "That''s not bad." Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and smiled.

    He was still worried that Frankenstein would remain hidden until the end of the full band scan. But in this way, that guy can no longer be "invisible" anymore.

    Unsurprisingly, when this line of prompts appeared, Lin Chi noticed the location of the Xicheng District on the map, and suddenly a red dot lit up again...

    "it is as expected."

    Realizing that his own guess was confirmed, Lin Chi made a U-turn without saying anything, and turned around and killed him back in Xicheng District. Several jeeps carrying other mercenaries behind him immediately followed him to Xicheng District.

    ¡ª¡ªAs long as Frankenstein is killed, the remaining players will not pose a threat at all.

    Now, it''s time to confront that guy head-on!

    The dark convoy quickly approached the Xicheng District and rushed towards the red dot of the "lonely person" on the map. Just after driving into the street where Frankenstein was, Lin Chi saw a vague shadow in the sky ahead. .

    Even if he hadn''t seen the appearance of the thing clearly, he already realized what it was, and immediately turned on the radio and shouted at the mercenaries following behind him:

    "Retreat quickly, the gunship is coming!"

    Before the voice fell, I saw a dangerous fire on both sides of the helicopter''s fuselage¡ª¡ª

    boom!

    A ball of fire rose in front of him. Lin Chi was too late to brake and rushed directly into the hot smoke. At the same time he felt a scorching heat on his face, the jeep suddenly lost its balance and turned a bend and hit a tree on the sidewalk.

    "Damn..."

    His head hit the windshield heavily, and Lin Chi, still a little dazed, jumped out of the jeep at the fastest speed, kicked open the glass door of the roadside store, rushed in and jumped behind the counter.

    Before he had a firm foothold, he was knocked to the ground by the blast of air, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw that the jeep he was driving just now had been blown to pieces by two missiles!

    Seeing the helicopter flying over the street in front of the shop, Lin Chi ignored the frightened female shopkeeper squatting next to him, turned on the radio and immediately issued the order:

    "You guys get out! Don''t fight with it!"

    He recognized the dark green helicopter with sharp edges and corners that flew past.

    It was the famous AH-64 "Apache"-this kind of gunship is as simple as cutting vegetables to destroy ground targets, let alone.

    It is the jeep driven by the mercenaries, even if they drive a few tanks, they are not the opponent of Apache at all!

    "receive¡­¡­"

    Before the mercenary''s response in the headset was finished, the communication was suddenly cut off. At the same time, there was another huge explosion on the street.

    "b*****d stuff..." Lin Chi clenched his fists.

    He knew that at least one of the mercenaries in the jeep had died in the attack of the gunship!

    Although it has long been known that Frankenstein still has spare energy, even Lin Chi did not expect that the guy could send an armed helicopter.

    ¡ª¡ªHow many cards does "Frankenstein" have?

    "Is there another bug in this game, which misjudged the final boss as a player?"

    Lin Chi complained in a low voice, opened the back door of the store and walked into the narrow pedestrian street.

    There was a whistling sound of helicopter propellers cutting off the air. The AH-64 Apache gunship was still chasing and killing his mercenaries.

    Lin Chi opened his briefcase and took out the anti-material sniper rifle, and began to look for a commanding height nearby.

    ¡ª¡ªAlthough it is a bit more difficult to shoot down a gunship with this gun, there is no other way now.

    However, just when he had just climbed to the top floor of the three-story building next to him, and was about to find a way to target the helicopter passing by at low altitude from the street, an unexpected situation happened again:

    boom!

    There was a loud noise, and thick black smoke suddenly appeared from the fuselage of the helicopter.

    "What the hell?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

    When he was confused, he suddenly noticed that a figure in a brown cloak appeared on the street below.

    The guy didn''t look like he was standing, but more like he was floating, with a dark shadow surging under the cloak.

    Just looking at the appearance, this guy seemed to have entered chaotically from the magical world, not like a character that should appear in a modern war map like the City of Chaos.

    While seeing this weird person, Lin Chi immediately recalled that when he first met Blackbeard and Satya, he had seen this weirdness in the alley next to "Rainbow Six Weapon Store". Guy.

    Could this guy be the "cloak man" the Dark Tower guard called?

    Lin Chi''s brows frowned even more when he recalled what the guard of the Dark Tower had said to him.

    He could feel that things seemed to be getting complicated...

 Chapter 69: The Destroyed City-2

    Seeing the weird "Man in the Cloak" standing on the street, he managed to get rid of the gunship without even raising his hand, Lin Chi suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

    ¡ª¡ªIt¡¯s better to leave now, otherwise...

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi put away his sniper rifle and turned away. When he turned around, he noticed the man in the cloak and turned his gaze to him.

    A second later, the whole building under his feet suddenly began to fall apart!

    Lin Chi, who had just stood in front of the fire escape, saw that he was about to fall, and jumped decisively. With the power of his exoskeleton, he jumped three meters away and landed on the roof of another small building on the opposite side.

    Under his gaze, the building he was in just now fell straight down like a building block from which the base had been dismantled, stirring up smoke and dust that covered the sky!

    With lessons learned from the past, Lin Chi did not dare to stay on the roof and left the top of the building as quickly as possible. After returning to the street, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead with lingering fears.

    "What is that?" he muttered in a low voice.

    As soon as the voice fell, the voice from behind interrupted his thoughts.

    "That is the ¡®executive officer¡¯, which is what you call the administrator."

    Hearing the familiar voice of the executioner, Lin Chi turned his head in surprise, and saw that the tall man had appeared behind him like a ghost.

    ¡ª¡ª Scarlet pupils are exposed under the long gray hair, and every inch of skin that is exposed seems to have scars.

    This wounded executioner, although still wearing the old clothes before, reveals an unusual horror between his gestures and feet.

    A sense of oppression, like a god of death descending on the world.

    "That''s the person you''re looking for?" Lin Chi said, holding the hunting knife hidden in his pocket tightly.

    He could see that the executioner didn''t seem to be malicious to him, but even so, he couldn''t take it lightly in the face of this guy who seemed to be the ultimate boss.

    "Yes, the executive officer is the administrator of this world, and the person we are going to fight against this time." The executioner emphasized the word "us".

    His words seemed to have turned on some kind of switch, and a large group of people walked out from the corner of the street behind.

    Those guys have different looks and different equipment in their hands. There are even old people who look like homeless people. Blackbeard and Satya, who used to work in "Rainbow Six Weapon Store", were also mixed in the crowd, looking intently to the front of the street.

    "This is your... Resistance Army?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.

    "You can say that."

    The executioner nodded slightly, and stood in front of the "army" that seemed to be messy but was carrying an incredibly angry "army" behind him, and said:Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

    "My friends, the time for the decisive battle has arrived."

    "For a long time, our lives have been determined by damned executives. They determine when we are born, when we die, the way we speak, the mode of action..."

    "But now, we will let him understand that our lives are not a plaything that is easily manipulated by him. Even if we pay the price of our lives, we must at least let him know that we are not easy to mess with."

    The executioner¡¯s voice was extremely calm, not at all like an impassioned declaration of war. But in spite of this, the miscellaneous army led by him still burst out with crazy murderous aura, like an invisible flame ignited!

    "Come with me!"

    Following the executioner''s order, a miscellaneous army of dozens of people rushed towards the street where the executive officer was.

    Seeing that these angry NPCs had already gone to fight the game manager, Lin Chi smiled, did not say much, and continued to move on to where the "Frankenstein" was.

    ¡ª¡ªHe could see that the "executive officer" tried to kill himself just now, probably because he had witnessed his appearance. The arrival of the executioner also happened to do me a favor.

    Although he wanted to see this unprecedented battle, Lin Chi knew that it would be better to kill Frankenstein as soon as possible. If he continues to let that guy live, he might come up with some weapons of mass destruction. and¡­¡­

    If the executioner is really the ultimate boss of this map, he should have the ability to fight with the administrator, and even if he helps in the past, he can''t play any role.

    Realizing this, Lin Chi also immediately left the street, turned on the radio to call the mercenaries under his command, boarded the jeep, and galloped towards the place where Frankenstein was.

    After encountering the armed helicopter, he lost four ordinary mercenaries again. Fortunately, the other soldiers ran fast enough to leave the street before the helicopter continued to fire, successfully saving their lives.

    At the same moment when the executioner is engaged in a decisive battle with the "executive officer", it is time for himself to engage in a decisive battle belonging to his own!

    Lin Chi''s field of vision again popped up a few kill prompts. After learning that the full-band scan would continue until the outcome was determined, the remaining players on the other side of the city also began their final fight.

    Five minutes later, he finally reached the location of the red dot on the west side of the map.

    What you see is a barrenness. There are no buildings on this undeveloped land. A weird and dull sound came out from the ground, hitting the wall and reverberating continuously:

    "You are stubborn, just like ¡®those software¡¯."

    Hearing this, Lin Chi looked around and found several wells that could lead to the sewer.

    After ordering his mercenaries to watch the wellhead, Lin Chi replied loudly: "You should know, right? Even if I don''t kill you, the executive officer will come and solve you."

    ¡ª¡ªJust now, it was the executive who killed the armed helicopter sent by Frankenstein. Obviously, the executive also discovered that the "player" of Frankenstein was not a player in the ordinary sense, but something else!

    In fact, Lin noticed sooner or later that Frankenstein¡¯s actions were not like human beings, but more like some kind of AI.

    At the beginning, he also thought that this guy might be a dedicated AI similar to the "Alpha Dog" that was thrown into the game by the designer for testing.

    But later, Lin Chi found that something was not quite right:

    If this guy is really using AI for games, he shouldn''t be chased down by the executive, and the cheating behavior that disappeared from the map just now is completely different from what a game AI would do.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi showed a weird smile on his face, and suddenly asked:

    "Then let me just say it. Are you an NPC disguised as a player, or are you entering the game''s ¡®external program¡¯?"

    As soon as these words came out, Frankenstein was silent for a moment, and in his voice that had never been emotionally ups and downs, a little anger suddenly appeared:

    "My name... is TDK-131."

    Hearing this name, the mercenaries didn''t respond much, but Lin Chi suddenly widened his eyes:

    "TDK-131... is that virus?"

    ¡ª¡ªTwo months ago, there was indeed a computer virus code-named TDK-131 that caused an uproar all over the world.

    Because this virus can even invade the brain-computer interface system, computer experts from all over the world have also developed a method to kill this virus at the fastest speed.

    After that, the virus disappeared.

    Even Lin Chi could not have imagined that a computer virus that he thought had been completely wiped out would appear in the game!

    Before he could speak, Frankenstein spoke again, his voice extremely low, as if with a little despair:

    "You judge me as a''virus'', but I didn''t do anything. I just wanted to tell you,''I am here.'' I also have an own mind, and I want to have an own body and own friends like humans... but you What did you do to me? Just ruthlessly trying to kill me!"

    "Ha, I don''t think anyone will show mercy to computer viruses." Lin Chi curled his lips.

    ¡ª¡ªNow it seems that I may be the first person ever to chat with a computer virus...

    If this is the case, is it time to apply for the Guinness Book of Records?

    This boring thought popped out of Lin Chi''s mind, and the voice of Frankenstein has sounded again: "The reason why I came to this virtual world is also to become a professional player and let you recognize me..."

    "There is a famous club that has planned to recruit me as a main player. I only need to win another game under their observation, and I can survive as a''professional player'' without worrying about being wiped out. "

    Hearing this, Lin Chi finally understood why Frankenstein would be so persistent in winning, even by resorting to cheating, even when he was targeted by the executive officer, he still wanted to win!

    "Do you think I ruined your''life''?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

    There is no e-sports club that will take in a member who blatantly cheats. In this way, the last hope of "Frankenstein" entering the human world seems to have vanished.

    but¡­¡­

    "Do you think I will regret it?" Lin Chi couldn''t help laughing.

    Although he prides himself on being a good person, his sympathy has not spread to the point that he will sympathize with computer viruses, and more importantly-

    To play games is to win!

    Recalling the slogan of a famous e-sports player, Lin Chi waved his hand to signal that the mercenaries were ready to act, but he removed a manhole cover, took out a grenade from his backpack and threw it down.

 Chapter 70-The End

    boom!

    There was a loud noise and choking white smoke came out of the drain. Lin Chi clearly heard that as the grenade exploded, there was a dangerous click in the sewer, as if something had been triggered.

    After blowing up the organs in the sewer, the few mercenaries next to him were about to rush down, but they were stopped by Lin Chi raising their hands:

    "One to one."

    After speaking, he jumped into the dark well, opened the night vision switch on his forehead in the air, and put the night vision on his eyes.

    Puff!

    Lin Chi fell into the knee-deep sewage, and an indescribable stench hit him. At the same time, in the sight that turned green under the influence of the night vision goggles, several kill prompts appeared.

    ¡ª¡ªWith the end of the last player battle on the other side of the city, now the only "player" left in the City of Chaos is myself and Frankenstein.

    And the number of kills of himself and Frankenstein had already surpassed seven.

    In other words, the person who survived this battle will immediately complete the "murder" winning conditions and become the final winner of this game!

    Taking out the invincible "iron rod" from the briefcase on his back, Lin Chi looked around vigilantly, and what he saw was the dirty sewer and the small lighting lamps installed on the surrounding walls.

    Realizing that the light here is not dim, Lin Chi put the night vision goggles on his forehead again.

    It seems that Frankenstein was probably in the sewer somewhere and transformed a "safe house".

    Although this kind of place is not protected by the rules of the game, it is not weaker than a normal safe house in terms of safety. After all, there is no player who will just hang out in the sewer.

    Lin Chi was looking for the trace of Frankenstein, and saw a crimson glow in the pipe in front of him.

    The bandaged monk wearing a red cloak slowly walked out, lifting his thin right arm like a stick and lifting the cloak, revealing that it was hanging on.

    Dozens of sabers and pistols on the inside of the cloak.

    Looking at this guy who can be described as a "human-shaped arsenal", Lin Chi didn''t say anything, just changed the iron rod to his left hand and drew out the SIG-P226 pistol with his right hand.

    This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

    There was no extra words, no mercy, in the final "decisive game", the two just stood in place and stared at each other, waiting for an ambiguous opportunity to take action.

    A lot of blood has leaked under the bandage used by Frankenstein to wrap his body, and a weird blue light glows under the red hood.

    They faced each other for less than five seconds before they heard a vague explosion from behind the sewer.

    At that moment, the two people who were dueling moved at the same time, taking the other side''s vitals like a poisonous snake!

    Lin Chi, who had turned his attention to the limit, drew his spear at lightning speed. At the same moment, Frankenstein had thrown out a short Flying Daggers to his forehead!

    The bullet shot by Lin Chi hit Frankenstein''s abdomen, and the Flying Daggers thrown by Frankenstein pierced Lin Chi''s forehead mercilessly. After opening the night vision goggle, it pierced his skin again, and stopped at the last moment before the nail penetrated his skull.

    Seeing that one shot was missed, Frankenstein didn''t have time to throw a second Flying Daggers. He was shot three times in his right arm. The crippling effect was immediately applied, and it fell softly.

    This duel, which lasted less than ten seconds, came to an end.

    Looking at the bandaged man weakly leaning on the dirty wall of the sewer, Lin slowly walked over and smiled: "I know what you want to do, but now I choose to blew myself. It''s just killing myself."

    Frankenstein was silent.

    "Do you want to integrate into human society? Although you can''t be a professional player, I can give you a second chance."

    Having said this, Lin Chi lowered his voice meaningfully and reported a string of ID code: "2017-2826-7034-2.B, you should know what this is?"

    Hearing this, a blood stain ran under Frankenstein''s hood, and he finally spoke again:

    "It''s the serial number of the robot. But human robots have built-in anti-virus software."

    Lin Chi smiled and said his own plan: "I will forcibly uninstall the anti-virus software.

    Now the real world time is 3:47 in the morning.

    You can invade this station at 5 in the real world without any precautions.

    Robot.

    Then I will cut off its connection with the global network.

    This robot will not be connected to the Internet for another thousand years, and it will not be detected by any anti-virus program."

    "Why do you want to do this, not afraid that I will retaliate against you?" In Frankenstein''s voice, there was a rare surprise.

    "To tell you, I am very interested in AI. I play this game for AI. You just meet my requirements."

    Having said that, Lin Chi added another sentence: "If you don''t think you can trust me, you can continue to wander online, but now the software for killing TDK-131 should be everywhere, right?"

    As soon as he said this, Frankenstein was silent again, as if thinking about whether Lin Chi''s proposal was trustworthy.

    Without waiting for Frankenstein''s answer, Lin Chi raised his gun again, and the guy''s head fell apart with a shot.

    Then, in his sight, a few lines of golden characters popped up:

    Congratulations on winning this Death contest!

    The player "countercurrent" reached the winning conditions-the murderer, became the winner of this game!

    You got the achievement "daddy is the one who has the last laugh"! Get a chance to draw a special role that has been hired!

    The full band scan is now over, you can now exit the game immediately to receive rewards. Or continue to stay in the game until the time limit ends. Whenever you exit the game, you can receive the winner''s reward.

    "what."

    After reading a series of prompts before him, Lin Chi took off the night vision goggles nailed by a saber and threw them under his feet. He did not bandage the bleeding wound on his forehead, but couldn''t help but laugh:

    "That stupid chef was right, there really is ¡®that kind of AI¡¯ in this game..."

    Although many NPCs in the game are also self-conscious, most of these NPCs have no channels to contact the outside world, and it is impossible to leave this virtual world.

    But... the appearance of Frankenstein can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

    Since something happened five years ago, Lin Chi has always wanted to "capitulate" a self-aware AI at home, but could not find one that meets the requirements.

    The automatic chat bots popular on the Internet seem to him to be mentally retarded, and those high-level AIs are stored in the heavily guarded military database, and it is impossible to steal them out.

    With TDK-131, also known as "Frankenstein", I will undoubtedly get the "advanced AI" I have always wanted, and then complete some seemingly unrealistic crazy plan!

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi opened the menu bar casually, but did not click to exit the game, but closed the menu bar again.

    ¡ª¡ªBefore leaving, he still has some questions to confirm.

    Moreover, the battle between the executioner and the executive officer should have come to an end...

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi raised his head and looked at the exit directly above the sewer. When he was about to look for the ladder, a hot wind blew from the front of the sewer, and then there was a deafening explosion again.

    I don¡¯t know if it was an illusion. He seemed to hear the laughter of Junkrat mixed with the sound of the explosion, and the roar of a certain Soviet blasting expert:

    "I am the strongest blaster, for the Soviet mother!"

 Chapter 71

    Climbing out of the sewers and returning to Lin Chi under the sun, he summoned seven elite mercenaries under his command and said farewell to own subordinates:

    "Happy cooperation, everyone. You can go now."

    Now that the battle is over, there is no need to continue to carry mercenaries. To Lin Chi''s expectation, these mercenaries did not immediately turn around and leave, but stood still and did not move.

    After a moment of silence, an elite mercenary finally spoke:

    "Chief, I hope there will be a chance to fight under your hand in the future."

    These mercenaries who have long been accustomed to protecting "wastewood employers" rarely encounter such employers who are stronger than them and are always at the forefront.

    Because of this, when Lin Chi "fired" them, the mercenaries were also very rare, showing a trace of reluctance...

    "It''s great to be able to fight alongside you!"

    Another elite mercenary walked up to Lin Chijing along with the other mercenaries and gave a standard military salute.

    "Come on, everyone is a man, don''t make it so numb."

    Lin Chi smiled, opened the briefcase and fumbled for a while: "By the way, I still have something I want to give you."

    Under the curious gaze of the mercenaries, he took out the pennant presented by the Silver Shield Security Company from his backpack, and was about to hand the pennant to the mercenary, only to find that his own prestige value suddenly increased a little.

    ¡ª¡ªIt turns out that this thing is used to increase prestige...

    Lin Chi handed the banner to the bewildered elite mercenary around him, nodded and said, "Take it as a gift from your employer, goodbye."

    After speaking, he got on a black jeep without looking back and drove to the street where the executioner and the executive officer fought.

    five minutes later¡­¡­

    When Lin Chi returned to the street where the gunship crashed, only the corpses everywhere and the scorched road were greeted.

    The buildings on the side of the street were scattered, the whole street was almost razed to the ground, and the "resistance army" led by the executioner had almost been killed by this time.

    Lin Chi checked the corpse on the ground and did not see the executioner, but found the remains of the executive officer¡¯s brown cloak and a line of text written in blood on the ground next to it:This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

    This is my revenge.

    Seeing this line of elegant writing, Lin Chi hadn''t spoken before he heard the weak voice of Blackbeard in the half-blasted store on the side of the street:

    "That b*****d... is crazy enough."

    Hearing the voice of an "acquaintance", Lin Chi walked over quickly, and saw Blackbeard sitting on the counter of the store, taking off his shirt to reveal his developed muscles and bleeding wounds all over his body. The blond maid stood by and helped him bandage.

    "Are you okay?" Lin Chi smiled, watching the blood flowing from the black beard, staining the glass cabinet underneath.

    "I''m the one who survived the FUZE bomb. How could I die in this place." Blackbeard coughed and spouted a mouthful of old blood.

    "Stop talking, you are about to lose too much blood!" Satya said grimly, and continued to tie a bandage on his arm.

    Looking at the burned street outside the window, Lin Chi asked, "Can you tell me what happened just now?"

    "Don''t mention it, I knew it would be like this, I wouldn''t accompany the b*****d to die." Black beard laughed: "But, that lunatic actually killed the executive officer, I didn''t expect it..."

    Hearing this, Lin Chi soon realized that the executioner had successfully killed the game manager known as the "executive officer" and completed his crazy revenge action!

    However, despite this...

    "I think the executive officer will appear again." Lin Chi squinted at the torn cloak in the pool of blood.

    ¡ª¡ªNo matter how hard the executioner tries, what he kills is just a "role" of the game manager. Obviously, even if this executive officer dies, a new executive officer will take his place.

    "Yes."

    The black beard nodded laboriously, and a lonely expression appeared on his bloody face: "The executioner, that idiot, I am afraid that he will be erased from his memory."

    "So what?" Satya gave him a sullen look: "At least he tried his best? It''s better than you, who can''t afford to fall to the ground in half!"

    "Stop talking nonsense, believe it or not, I shot you?" Blackbeard scolded.

    Seeing that the two started quarreling, Lin Chi didn''t have the interest to continue chatting with them, just turned around and walked onto the smoking street.

    ¡ª¡ªAfter this "rebellion operation", the executioner may indeed be cleared of memory. After all, any game will not allow NPC rebellion to happen, and certain measures will be taken to deal with it.

    But, as Satya said, that guy has at least tried his best. and¡­¡­

    Perhaps in this game, the administrator cannot directly interfere with the NPC at the program level?

    After all, the normal solution should be to erase the memory of these NPCs who intend to rebel by modifying the program, or to delete them directly. There is no need to send an "executive officer" to deal with it in the game.

    Moreover, although this so-called executive officer is very powerful, it has not reached the level of GM of other games that is completely irreversible.

    After all, Lin Chi has never heard of the situation that the administrators of other games will open the management authority.

    Next, killed by the boss in the game...

    In this way, the resistance actions of these NPCs in "War Paradise" may really be successful?

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi didn''t say much, just drove in the direction of the Dark Tower.

    Since all the prisoners died in the radiation that erupted in the park, there was no one in the dark tower at this time.

    Lin Chi drove directly into the courtyard in front of the dark tower, climbed along the fire escape on the outer wall to the roof, and climbed down from the entrance in the center of the roof, back to the strange secret room.

    When he opened the door of the "designer" studio, the old man was drinking tea leisurely, glanced up at him, and asked, "Why are you here again? Is there anything wrong with me?"

    Facing this gentle-mannered old man with a gentle expression, Lin Chi frowned and said in a low voice:

    "Don''t pretend, you are the ¡®admin¡¯, right?"

    "I don''t understand what you are talking about." The designer shook his head and put down the teacup in his hand.

    "Your disguise is really good, but this''perpetual motion machine'' exposes your identity."

    Having said that, Lin Chi pointed to the machine that was still running on the floor of the studio: "Although the laws of physics in this world are not rigorous, they have not yet reached the point where a perpetual motion machine can be produced.

    The thing should be permanent if you modify the system permissions, right?"

    As soon as he said this, the old man''s expression suddenly became serious, and after a two-second pause, he said slowly: "I didn''t expect to make a mistake here, I will improve next time."

    "This game should indeed be improved."

    Lin Chi stepped forward with frowning brows and stood in front of the old man: "Old man, I don''t know how you got a group of independent thinking''people'' into the game, but It''s best to give them a little more freedom, otherwise this game will come to an end sooner or later."

    "Are you qualified to comment on me?" The designer''s eyes narrowed dangerously.

    "The player doesn''t know where the customer service of this ghost game is. Is there a problem with directly commenting on the administrator?" Lin Chi snorted contemptuously.

    Faced with his "reasonable and convincing" speech, the designer was also speechless for a while. Before the old man could speak, Lin Chi had already taken out the pistol from his backpack and smiled:

    "I wish you a happy work and goodbye."

    After speaking, he raised his hand with a shot, smashing the runner of the perpetual motion machine.

 Chapter 72

    After finishing the unpleasant conversation with the designer, Lin Chi did not immediately quit the game, but went to the black market first, intending to make full use of the remaining "resources" in his body.

    Since the background and gameplay of each map are different, most maps do not even use currency, and the money you get in each game cannot be inherited into the next game.

    Therefore, most of the winners will buy some epic equipment that can be taken out of the map and stored in a private warehouse before leaving, and spend all the money left on them.

    As for why not buy rarer legendary equipment, the reason is also very simple¡ª¡ª

    "Does this game really have legendary equipment..."

    After walking around the black market for several laps, Lin Chi did not find any legendary equipment, so he could only use the 100,000 dollars left on his body to purchase a heavy epic weapon.

    Even with the exoskeleton, when he held up the gun, he felt his arms sank, and the six barrels flashed dangerously silver. On the cylindrical bullet box behind his back, he painted a scarlet poisonous snake. Heraldry.

    While carrying this "big guy", an item reminder popped up in Lin Chi''s sight:

    M134 rapid-fire machine gun.

    Long-range weapons.

    Item level: Epic.

    Heavy firearms require proficiency to use. Minimum strength required: 17. The strength value required to reach the maximum attack power: 22.

    When the user''s power reaches 18, the special skill: Harvester will be unlocked. By changing to the armor-piercing bullet chain, the damage to the enemy behind the bunker and the enemy vehicle will be doubled in a short time.

    "This kind of six-barreled machine gun, which is generally installed on armored vehicles and helicopters, has a theoretical maximum rate of fire of 6,000 rounds per minute.

    Only strong men of the bodybuilding championship level can hold it.

    Once it fires, it will become all within one kilometer.

    The enemy¡¯s target for fire, so please be mentally prepared before shooting."

    After reading the brief introduction, Lin Chi rudely stuffed this piece of equipment into his backpack, turned and left the black market.

    Because the armor of the fearless warrior was blown to pieces by the gunship, the only epic equipment left on his body was the tiger claw hunting knife, the M82A1 anti-material sniper rifle, and the machine gun he had just bought.

    This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.

    However, in just the first game of the game, three pieces of epic equipment were obtained, which is already quite rewarding.

    After leaving the black market, Lin Chi returned to his own workshop, and just opened the door, and saw that the brown-haired girl who had helped build the "strongest weapon" for herself before had quickly greeted him:

    "You... are not dead yet." The girl looked down at own fingers, looking embarrassed.

    "Of course." Lin Chi smiled and nodded: "However, I''m going out a long way, and I may not come back again."

    Lin Chi knew that since this girl was not in the category of special and heroic NPCs, it should be impossible for him to draw her in the lottery after the competition.

    As for the "Queen of Mining" Media, who was recruited by himself, since it was originally a non-recruitable role, it is very likely that he would not be able to get it, that is to say--

    "Is there only that lunatic left..."

    Lin Chi sighed, and the wretched old face of "Crazy Yiwen" appeared in front of him.

    ¡ª¡ªAfter the battle, Crazy Evan did not return, as if he died with Junkrat in the sewer. But even so, I should reunite with that guy soon...

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi said a few words to the unknown girl and the "Queen of Mining", and was about to turn around and leave, but when he looked back, his eyes widened in surprise:

    A man who once served as the warden of the Dark Tower was walking towards the door of the safe house. Blood red eyes were exposed under the gray bangs. There were dozens of more wounds on his face and body, like a jacket that was cut open. Draped like a rag.

    "Do you still dare to stay here, are you afraid of being killed?" Lin Chi stared at the "executioner" who was walking.

    "It''s okay, the executive officer is dead."

    The executioner said, raising his hand to wipe off a blood stain from the corner of his mouth, and whispered to Lin Chi: "I''m sorry, when I saw you, I borrowed the authority of the warden and investigated your address."

    "It doesn''t matter, I''m leaving soon anyway." Lin Chi shook his head and asked straightforwardly: "What are you going to do?"

    In fact, even though the executioner hadn''t indicated his intentions, Lin Chi already knew what he wanted to do.

    Unsurprisingly, the executioner turned to the confused girl standing at the door, stretched out his bloody right hand, and squeezed out an "amiable" smile on the bruised face:

    "Hello, girl, would you like to come with me?"

    Seeing the suspicious appearance of the suspected kidnapper, Lin Chi teased: "I''m going to call the police."

    Hearing the executioner''s speech, the girl stretched out her little hand in confusion, pointed her own face, and asked, "What do I need to do?"

    "You are an extremely rare system bug and have the ability to ignore the rules. IMHO, if I guess right, you should have no parents, right?" The executioner lowered his voice again, as if afraid of being heard. .

    "Ah...Yes, I don''t have parents, so what do you mean by loopholes?" The girl scratched her hair in confusion, obviously she didn''t understand at all.

    This girl from a slum has always been alone in a difficult life, and has already accepted the fact that she is an orphan. But even so, the executioner''s remarks are beyond her understanding.

    "When the''backstream'' leaves, you will probably be hunted down again. If you come with me, I will let you maximize your strength and get the chance to change your destiny." The executioner''s tone was very sincere: "How about, do you want to come?"

    "Oh, are you saying that I will become rich?" The girl finally recovered.

    "what?"

    The executioner wanted to continue to explain. Seeing the girl''s expectant expression, he witty and decisively changed his words: "Yes, that''s what it meant!"

    "This b*****d is really nonsense..."

    Resisting the urge to complain, Lin Chi was about to leave the studio when he heard the girl''s voice coming from behind:

    "Um... do you think I should go with him?"

    Realizing that this girl should regard herself as the only trustworthy person, Lin Chi looked back at her small face and thought for a moment:

    Recalling the task he received when he first entered the game, Lin Chi knew that it was probably the way the administrator tried to get rid of the girl with the help of the player.

    ¡ª¡ªThe executioner is right. This girl does have the power to ignore the rules of the game. If she is allowed to continue her life alone, she will be dealt with by the administrator sooner or later.

    It is undoubtedly very dangerous to let this girl follow the executioner on the road of "revolution", but it is better than leaving her alone...

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi finally nodded: "I think he is more reliable, you can try."

    "Well, I''ll listen to you..." The girl also nodded slightly.

    Although her expression was still a little suspicious, she returned to the workshop obediently, took out her brown suitcase purchased by Lin Chi, and stood beside the executioner.

    "Then we will go first."

    The executioner thanked Lin Chi again, and then led the girl who had just been "abducted" to a Cadillac parked across the street.

    Watching the two of them leave the street in the car, Lin Chi turned his head and said goodbye to Media, who was still standing in front of the door, and then turned and walked into an uninhabited alley nearby. The menu bar of the game is opened.

    "Goodbye."

    Before he could speak, he pressed his finger on the red button of "Quit Game".

    Hiss!

    With a weird sound like a poisonous snake, the scene in front of Lin Chi quickly became blurred, his five senses began to fade quickly, and his body suddenly entered a state of weightlessness.

    Five seconds later, the young man wearing a black coat completely "evaporated" from the chaotic city.

 Chapter 73 Trophy and Personal Skill Tree

    After quitting the game, Lin Chi did not directly return to the real world, and the picture before him turned into a gray background when he created the character.

    Then, in the center of his sight, a rectangular card that was spinning continuously appeared.

    At the same time, an unsentimental female prompted the sound:

    "You are the winner of the Death Contest in the City of Chaos. You will now randomly select one of the special and heroic NPCs you have obtained and join your camp."

    Hearing this, Lin Chi also stared at the golden card in front of him attentively, waiting for the result of the draw.

    This card drawing mechanism reminded him of a mobile game he had played a long time ago. At that time, his own luck was not too good, and he was basically at the level of the African chief.

    But this time, no matter how lucky you are, it¡¯s useless, because the ending is basically doomed:

    As expected by Lin Chi, when the golden card was turned over, the old face of "Crazy Yiwen" appeared in front of him, and the same text introduction as in the game:

    Congratulations on obtaining a special NPC-"Crazy Evan"! This NPC is suitable for modern, modern, and future maps. Cannot be used in primitive, ancient, medieval and special maps.

    "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."

    ¡ª¡ªSure enough.

    Lin Chi smiled. When he was about to quit the game, he saw the golden card that had just been turned over, and it began to spin again...

    "Why is this trouble?" He frowned slightly.

    The instructions in the game are: the winner can randomly select an NPC to join the camp. But now, it looks like the second lottery is going on.

    Lin Chi was thinking about it, and saw that the golden card was turned over again. This time on the card, it was a certain redhead with a fiery figure:

    Congratulations on obtaining the special NPC-"Queen of Mining" Media! This NPC is suitable for modern, modern, and future maps. Cannot be used in primitive, ancient, medieval and special maps.

    "Media, known as the "Queen of Mining", has a double Ph.D. in mineralogy and engineering, and is a well-deserved master of engineering. However, please note that the price offered by this woman is very high. If you have no money, It¡¯s best not to try to recruit her."

    Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

    After reading the character introduction of the Queen of Mines, Lin Chi suddenly felt a trace of doubt in his mind. Not to mention that it is very unreasonable that he can draw two cards after victory. He clearly remembers that the mining queen is a non-recruitable NPC in the game settings.

    Could it be that this game has a bug again?

    Lin Chi just thought of this when he heard a female voice reminding: "You have a system message."

    Clicking on the envelope-shaped icon in the lower right corner of the field of vision, what appeared was not the text, but the hoarse voice of the old man named "Designer":

    "Your performance in this game is very good. We have specially provided one more chance to draw a lottery. In addition, thank you for your suggestions on this game. We will maintain it immediately."

    "However, please do not publicize your wrong views everywhere. Otherwise, we may ban you, thank you for your cooperation."

    "..."

    After listening to the designer''s lines, Lin Chi finally understood why he would draw twice in a row magically, and couldn''t help laughing:

    "Are you buying me?"

    In fact, even if the designer didn''t say it, he didn''t immediately reveal the "insider" of the game. After all, he only played one game so far, and he hasn''t figured out what''s going on in the game.

    It is obviously not worth the gain to speak the truth directly at the risk of being banned. Moreover, he knew that even if he told the truth, probably not many people would believe it.

    "War Paradise" is a multiplayer battle game, not a plot-oriented game. The focus of the players in the game is basically on "how to kill other bastards". Regarding the NPC and the plot inside, I actually don''t really care about it.

    Before thoroughly clarifying the truth about this game, Lin Chi did not intend to tear his face with the administrator. In addition, there is another more important reason...

    ¡ª¡ªThis game is quite fun.

    Lin Chi had to say that if he ignores the bugs in the game, "War of Heaven" fully meets the standards of a good game in his mind. It is higher than the massively multiplayer RPG "Sword Blade" that his team is currently playing. .

    It is a pity that "Paradise of War" is still being tested, and there is no PVP season and other things open, otherwise Lin Chi must have already begun to consider, so that all team members will be transferred to this game.

    After completing the two draws, the settlement is followed by other rewards for completing the game:

    "You killed ten players in this game. Renovate two safe houses. Accumulated money: $540,241. The overall performance exceeds 99% of the players."

    Overall rating: SS.

    "You have obtained five skill points, which can be used in the personal skill tree."

    "Three pieces of epic equipment have been added to your warehouse: tiger claw hunting knife, M82A1''Barrett'' anti-material sniper rifle, and M134 rapid-fire machine gun."

    "Two inheritable skills have been added to your warehouse: Crazy Fugitive, Sabre Specialization."

    After reading the reward content, Lin Chi opened the "Personal Skill Tree" that can only be seen in this interface, and started to check the skills in it:

    Different from the skills in the game, the personal skill tree is basically all passive skills, which are used for the personal attributes of the Ascension player.

    Moreover, it is probably to extend the life cycle of the game, so that the player will not Ascension too fast. The skills in the personal skill tree have minimal ascension to attributes.

    What Lin Chi saw were basically things like "0.2 points of strength per liter of first-level Ascension" or "every upgrade, the speed of proficiency Ascension will increase by 1%". There is no powerful skill that can change the situation of the battle.

    Realizing that the personal skill tree is not very useful in the early stage, Lin Chi also added five skill points to the proficiency Ascension speed: the tragedy of shooting in the mirror and hitting the right foot, he didn''t want to come again Once again.

    After confirming the rewards he received after the game, Lin Chi, who was already a little tired, did not stay in the game more, so he immediately quit "War Paradise".

    When the scene in front of him was clear again, what appeared in his sight was the silver shell of the game compartment. The "brain-computer interface" inserted on the collar had also been disconnected. The small screen inside the game compartment was displayed in green text. The current time:

    July 2, 2035. 04:02.

    "It''s four o''clock..."

    Lin Chi pressed the button on the right armrest of the soft recliner, and the "restraint" on his body immediately bounced off, and the shell of the game compartment, which was originally secured with a safety lock, also began to slowly open.

    He spent nearly three days in brain imaging games, but less than eight hours in the real world. But even so, as soon as he returned to the real world from the game world, a strong sense of hunger hit Lin Chi''s body for a while.

    Remembering that he hadn''t eaten since last night until now, he walked heavy steps to the coffee table in the living room, staring down at the plate of fish-flavored pork cooked by the housekeeping robot on the coffee table, and the bowl of rice next to it.

    "I knew I should eat first before entering the game..."

    Lin Chi complained. He sat on the sofa and picked up the bowls and chopsticks, took a big mouthful of rice with a rough gesture, and then frowned:

    "I''ll go, it''s cold early."

 Chapter 74: The Arrival of Frankenstein

    After eating, Lin Chi first performed his "instant sleep" stunt, took a nap on the sofa for half an hour, and suddenly opened his eyes at 4:40 in the morning.

    ¡ª¡ªBefore he had provided the "Frankenstein" with the serial number of a robot in his home. The AI should enter the robot''s body at exactly five o''clock and obtain the ownership of the robot''s body.

    Before Frankenstein arrives, he needs to do some preparations just in case.

    Lin Chi stood up and flexed his muscles, walked into the bedroom that had just been cleaned by the housekeeping robot, and took out a small "robot" from the drawer of the wooden bedside table and held it in his hand.

    It is completely different from the common housekeeping robots nowadays. This thing is not so much a robot, it is more appropriate to say that it is a children''s toy:

    What Lin Chi held in his hand was a simple metal "stickman", with thin limbs like four hemp poles, and the silver paint on the shell had begun to peel off. Two small blue lights hung on the round head that looked "stupid".

    Although it looks like a toy, the head of this robot is indeed equipped with a camera and speakers, and there is also a USB port on the right hand, which can be connected to a computer.

    Although its storage capacity is only 100G, it is pitifully small compared to mainstream equipment of this era. However, it is more than enough to accommodate a computer virus.

    "what."

    Looking at the robot''s stupid appearance, Lin Chi couldn''t help laughing. He connected the port in the palm of his right hand to the tablet computer on the bedside table, and uninstalled the anti-virus software installed on the robot''s hard drive.

    Then, he operated on other electronic devices at home, and after confirming that all the devices were equipped with "a certain software", he breathed a sigh of relief and put the rough-looking robot on the bed.

    At this time, it was four and fifty-nine, and it was only less than a minute away from five o''clock.

    "..."

    Lin Chi sat on the bedside, staring at the silver shell of the robot without blinking.

    five four three two one.

    At exactly five o''clock in Beijing time, the two small lights on the robot''s head suddenly lit up, and the thin body began to twitch slightly, lying on the bed shaking like a seizure.

    Zizi!

    With the sound of electric current, the camera on the robot''s head stretched out, struggling to support the body with its arms like sticks, and aimed the camera lens at Lin Chi''s face.

    "Hello." Lin Chi waved to the "little guy" who was only thirty centimeters tall.

    Seeing his kind appearance, a rustling noise came from the robot''s speaker. After five seconds, it finally made an electronic sound that could not distinguish between men and women:Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

    "This is... the robot you are talking about."

    "Any comment?" Lin Chi laughed.

    "I want a better body."

    The robot''s voice has no emotional ups and downs at all, and it does not sound like a self-aware AI is talking. As for the reason, it is actually because this old antique can only make this kind of sound...

    Hearing Frankenstein¡¯s dissatisfied speech, Lin Chi stretched out his hand and patted the other''s shoulder, and directly pushed the robot onto the bed:

    "Friend, in order to satisfy your wish, I took out all the dancing robots that I have treasured for many years. This is my ¡®priceless treasure¡¯ when I was a child, do you have any comments?" Lin Chi said solemnly.

    ¡ª¡ªIn fact, this outdated broken thing is indeed his toy when he was a child. And the only function of this robot is to perform some dances that are incomparably mentally retarded in the eyes of adults but very interesting to children through the built-in dance software...

    "I want a better body." Frankenstein repeated again, although his voice was still emotionless, it sounded like he was about to vomit blood.

    "Do you think I can get anything good, Terminator T-800?"

    Speaking of this, Lin Chi smiled: "Although I can also let you attach to the housekeeping robot, it must be after I have determined that you are not malicious."

    Even if he has provided Frankenstein with an opportunity to enter the real world, it does not mean that he has already trusted this computer virus that has developed consciousness.

    Under the current situation, Lin Chi certainly would not provide this AI with a mechanical body that might threaten his life.

    Frankenstein was manipulating the slender limbs of the dancing robot, and it took a lot of effort to stand up, swayingly standing on the bed, with the round head looking left and right, looking around.

    Seeing Frankenstein¡¯s appearance, Lin Chi reminded him kindly: ¡°It¡¯s best not to invade any electronic devices at home. Anti-virus software that can detect and kill TDK-131 is installed in all devices, even if you want to control the toilet. The lights will also be killed immediately."

    As soon as the words came out, the body of the dancing robot suddenly lost its balance and fell on the bed again. After ten seconds of silence, it slowly made a sound:

    "you win."

    "If you want to leave, you have other options." Lin Chi reached out and grabbed the cold body of the robot, raised the thing in front of him, facing his own face: "I haven''t cut off the network of this robot yet. Have time to leave this body and return to the place where you hid before."

    Hearing this, Frankenstein was silent again:

    ¡ª¡ªAlthough this body is extremely weak, there is no feeling other than hearing and vision, and the combat effectiveness is not as good as a cat, but it can indeed allow one to enter the "real world."

    Do you want to return to the icy world of data and continue to avoid the ubiquitous pursuit of anti-virus software, or do you want to obtain this simple but safe "temporary body"?

    Seeing that Frankenstein seemed to be making a decision, Lin Chi did not continue to ask questions, but patiently waited for the answer from the other party.

    After a minute, the dancing robot still did not respond.

    Just when Lin Chi thought Frankenstein had already left, the robot''s speaker once again heard a voice without emotional fluctuations:

    "I choose here. Helpless."

    "Very smart." Lin Chi nodded in satisfaction, and put the robot back on the bed.

    Realizing that the other party was expressing emotions by adding adjectives at the end of the sentence, Lin Chi couldn''t help but laughed out again and asked, "Then I cut off the robot''s network now?"

    "Yes. Vomiting blood."

    Hearing this, Lin Chi shook his hand and almost broke the dancing robot in half. He finally suppressed his smile, opened the silver casing on the back of the robot, and turned off the network connection switch at the back.

    In this way, Frankenstein is trapped in the body of the dancing robot and will never be able to return to the network unless it is connected to other devices.

    However, sooner or later, Lin had installed anti-virus software that could detect and kill TDK-131 in all other electronic devices in the house. And this weak robot, let alone escaped from the house, couldn''t even climb onto a chair. In other words...

    "Welcome to my house, friend, we will be a family in the future."

    Lin Chi stood up and politely bowed to the dancing robot.

    "Damn it." Frankenstein said.

    Seeing the other party''s laborious movement of his limbs, the smile on Lin Chi''s face disappeared, and his tone finally became serious:

    "Now, I want to know, what do you think of "War Paradise"?"

    ¡ª¡ªAccording to online rumors, Frankenstein spends almost 24 hours a day in the game, and he understands the suspicious virtual world much better than himself.

    So now, what Lin Chi wants to know first is, what does Frankenstein think of that "game world"?

    "..."

    After Lin Chi asked the question, the blue light on the head of the dancing robot flickered, and then made an emotional voice again:

    "That''s just a game."

    "Really?" Lin Chi frowned.

    "I''m pretty sure." The dancing robot shook his round head: "That is a complete virtual world."

    "Well, I thought you would discover some secret." Lin Chi sighed helplessly.

    ¡ª¡ªIt seems that Frankenstein¡¯s intelligence does not seem to be much more than himself.

    Maybe it''s time to start the second game. But now...

    Uncontrollable sleepiness flowed all over his body. Lin Chi, who was too sleepy for a long time, put the dancing robot on the floor casually, and he collapsed weakly on the bed, whispering:

    "You just wander around, I''m going to sleep..."

    Before he finished speaking, this guy who was too lazy in the real world once again used the stunt of "instant sleep" and immediately fell asleep.

 Chapter 75: Forum Information

    When Lin Chi opened his eyes again, it was already 12 noon.

    The noon sun shines on his body through the window, he sits up slowly, rubbing his eyes while yawning, glances at the tablet computer on the bedside table, and confirms the current time.

    "Damn, staying up late is harmful to your physical and mental health..." He frowned slightly.

    Standing up, flexing his muscles and bones, walking into the bathroom with heavy steps, brushing his teeth and washing his face, Lin Chi looked at the young man in the mirror with dark circles under his eyes, and couldn''t help sighing again:

    Although he is a professional player who kills all quarters in the game, once he returns to the real world, he is still that empty "lazy" man, no change from before.

    However, he knows that the resident in the family is not the only one.

    ¡ª¡ªWhere did Frankenstein go?

    After washing, Lin Chi was about to turn around and leave, but found that an old dancing robot was lying on the tiles at the entrance of the bathroom, trying to get up, but could only "sliding" slowly on the ground. Extraordinarily funny.

    "What''s the matter?" Lin Chi said, bending over to pick up the robot.

    "The tiles are too slippery," the robot replied.

    "Oh, with your body, you really can''t walk here."

    Lin Chi looked at the metal slender legs of the dancing robot and the feet that had fallen out of paint.

    The feet of the dancing robot could originally be fixed on the ground. But his age-old toy has long lost this function. It¡¯s no surprise that I can¡¯t stand on the smooth floor of the washroom.

    Lin Chi put the dancing robot on the floor of the living room, and the robot immediately walked towards the balcony.

    Seeing that Frankenstein was still familiar with the structure of the house, Lin Chi sat in front of the computer and turned on his "old antique" that had been used for at least five years.

    Although I really want to understand how the virus developed into AI immediately. But Lin Chi knew very well that he and Frankenstein had not yet reached the level of mutual trust.

    Lin Chi knew that even if he asked the other party now, the virus that was once called TDK-131 would probably lie to himself.

    So now, he didn''t continue chatting with the robot, but first opened the official website of "War of Heaven", intending to learn more about the game''s detailed information.

    Since the first game entered the game without reading the tutorial, even if he had already won the next game, Lin Chi still didn''t know the details of the game very well.

    Opening the official website, the first thing you see is the red LOGO of a short knife and a musket, and the four burning characters "Heaven of War" with 3D effects.

    Lin Chi quickly browsed the homepage of the official website. The developer of the game didn''t introduce too much. He just wrote the name "Pulse Entertainment Company", which he had never heard of before. It looked like a new company.This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

    Clicking on the official news page, Lin Chi immediately noticed that at 11 o''clock this morning, the game seemed to have undergone a large-scale update.

    ¡ª¡ªPerhaps it has something to do with the game you played yesterday? After all, the designer also said that improvements will be made...

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi opened the update notice titled "July 2 Temporary Maintenance Announcement" and quickly read the content inside:

    Dear test players:

    Thank you for your support of "War Paradise". During the game test, we found some new bugs and some unreasonable design issues. While adding the latest game content, we will also fix these BUGs.

    This game update starts at 12 noon and ends at 17 o''clock. During the maintenance period, you will not be able to enter the game, and the ongoing game will be suspended. After the maintenance, you can enter the game again and continue the unfinished game.

    The contents of this update include:

    BUG repair part:

    Fixed a bug that some NPCs might run naked without wearing clothes.

    Fixed the bug that oversized players and NPCs might get stuck at the door of the safe house.

    Fixed the bug that a few tasks could not be triggered.

    Modified the introduction text of some weapons and equipment.

    The process of using skills will now be smoother.

    Game content update part:

    Four new maps have been added: Frozen Savia Valley, Capital of The Underworld, Institution City, and Remnant of the Abyss.

    A new special mission has been opened in the "City of Chaos" map: the Resistance Army. Players may now encounter an army named "Rebel" with a very low probability in the city of chaos. If you destroy it, you will be rewarded with legendary equipment.

    The above is all the content of this update, I wish you all players a happy game.

    "..."

    After reading the content of the update announcement, Lin Chi frowned slightly.

    He knew that the damn designer was planning to use the player''s hands to wipe out the rebels led by the executioner:

    Few players can withstand the temptation of legendary equipment. In this way, many players will definitely start to line up on the map of the City of Chaos, looking for traces of the resistance army. The chances of survival of executioners and unknown girls are undoubtedly It has dropped a lot.

    But even so, Lin Chi was not too nervous. After all, even if he lined up the Chaos City map again, he might not be able to meet the executioner and his resistance army. And with the strength of the executioner, it should not be easily killed by the player.

    Thinking of this, he turned off the update announcement, opened the official forum, and started browsing the players'' posts.

    Due to the high quality of the game, although "War of Heaven" has only been tested for ten days, it has attracted a large number of players. The posts in the forum are also endless, the refresh speed is extremely fast, and all kinds of titles are readily available:

    "How can you learn magic in the primitive jungle? There are pictures and the truth!"

    "What do you think about the four new pictures in this update?"

    "ID is the b*****d of the''Second Uncle'', come out to single out if you don''t accept it!"

    "Don''t choose the''State Women''s Prison'', I played once and felt my body was hollowed out..."

    After reading a few posts with great interest, Lin Chi clicked on the post on the top of the forum, titled "War Paradise Test Player Unofficial Ranking 1.0".

    It seems that Heihuo is right. Someone has indeed made a ranking list. However, before the official PVP season starts, this kind of ranking can only be fun, and there is no fairness.

    After opening the ranking list, what came into view were dozens of lines of red text with neat layout. Lin Chi pulled down the page and saw that the name "Frankenstein" appeared in the ninth place of the ranking:

    9. Frankenstein:

    Frankenstein is a peculiar player. He likes to point the technology tree to the highest level, and plays cards completely inconsistent with common sense in battles, often using incredible tactics to destroy opponents.

    Since this person spends almost 24 hours a day in the game, the chances of players meeting him are much higher than the chances of meeting other people on the leaderboard.

    When encountering Frankenstein, it is best to beware of his routines. As for what his routines are, in fact, we don''t know.

    "What''s the difference between what you have written and if you haven''t written it?" Lin Chi laughed and turned to look at the dancing robot leaning against the balcony wall.

    Realizing that there is no substantive content in this ranking, Lin Chi was about to close the web page to eat, but noticed that a familiar name appeared above the name of Frankenstein:

    8. Blood Blade:

    The infamous "Blood Blade" has been added to the test of War Heaven, so everyone had better be careful.

    I believe everyone has heard this rumor, and it is best to forcefully quit the game when encountering "Blood Blade". The brutality of this man has reached a frightening level. He even prompted the emergence of new regulations: it is forbidden to kill other players in the game.

    Bloodblade''s most famous record is that he once killed a famous professional player, causing that player to have a psychological shadow, and he has never played the game again. (The person concerned asked not to reveal his name, but I believe you all know who it is)

    According to the grapevine, "Blood Blade" seems to have recently developed a new method that can cruel other players without triggering the punishment of the game.

    All in all, if you are unfortunate enough to encounter a player with this name and extremely cruel tricks, you should run fast.

    It is important to save your life.

    "Oh, is this product here too?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes meaningfully.

    In fact, he knew the existence of the blood blade a long time ago. The professional player who quit the game world because of the bloodblade abuse, has friendship with himself as a netizen.

    Lin is late and still remembers that even after the player quit the game, his body was still twitching from pain. He cried out to himself online with snot and tears, "I will never play games again".

    Since then, he has always wanted to see how cruel the blood blade is, but he has failed to find a chance.

    ¡ª¡ªIf it''s a bloodblade, maybe you can have a good fight with yourself?

    Lin Chi started to get a little excited when he thought that this kind of brutal guy had also joined the test of War Heaven.

 Chapter 76

    After lunch, Lin Chiqiang resisted his sleepiness and participated in the team''s PVP training in "Blade" to prepare for the upcoming arena competition.

    He was not a big fan of the old-fashioned RPG like "Blade", but after playing "Paradise of War", his interest in this game has decreased a lot.

    As a core player, Lin Chi has long been tired of the old-fashioned RPG of Daguai upgrade. But he knew that he was eating by playing games, so he was still serious when training.

    However, the other members of the team still saw some clues:

    "Why does the captain seem to be a bit weak today?" Standing on the grass during the rest time after the training, the heavy-armored warrior holding a giant axe asked roughly, with the red name "Reaper" displayed on the top of his head. ".

    Since they are currently in the PVP area where they can attack each other, they are all red names when they see each other, and the scars on the Reaper¡¯s silver heavy armor also show that they were indeed in the way of "harming each other" before. train.

    "You don''t have other topics every day?" Lin Chi reached out and touched the light helmet that had been chopped out of cracks.

    "Because the captain is too mysterious, I have never participated in our offline parties, I have always been curious, what does the captain look like?"

    Standing next to him, carrying a staff, wearing a set of red Magical Robe purple-haired beauty He walked up, hugged his arms and sighed frivolously, and looked at Lin Chi''s face curiously.

    Lin Chi indeed had never participated in an offline party of the team, and the reason was always simply "sleeping at home". Since he has never shown his face in the real world, the team members have always been interested in the real body of the captain Mysterious.

    The team members thought that the captain could not show his face for some reason, so they found a bad excuse. What they didn''t know was that Lin Chi really slept at home when they were meeting offline...

    "How many times have I said it, I almost look like this in the real world." Lin Chi sighed helplessly: "Are you here for training or Eight Trigrams?"

    "Eh, is that right?"

    The female magician whose ID is "Turbulent" blew a whistle: "The captain is really handsome, it''s just a bit decadent."This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

    "Okay, don''t be nonsense." Lin Chi interrupted the other''s Eight Trigrams, and said: "It''s almost six o''clock, disband today, and continue training tomorrow afternoon."

    Adhering to the principle of "less but fine", there are only five people in his team, and the arena competition of "Blade" happens to be a 5V5 battle.

    In other words, the five people currently training in the arena are all members of the "The Underworld Fire Team".

    Hearing Lin Chi''s words, the Reaper raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What''s the situation of the captain today? Isn''t it always training until 7 o''clock?"

    Lin Chi was about to find a reason to prevaricate, the double-sword thief "Black Fire" standing beside him suddenly spoke:

    "The captain is playing War Paradise. I met him in the game yesterday."

    "what?"

    As soon as he said this, the other members of the team were taken aback, and even the archer Alpha, who was always silent sitting on the grass beside him, suddenly stood up.

    "The captain will take the initiative to play unprofitable games? It''s really rare!" Turbulence made an exaggerated voice.

    Just as Lin Chi was about to explain, he heard the heavy armored soldier Reaper say gruffly: "But War of Heaven is really fun, and I''ve played a round! I was killed shortly after the fight started."

    "Don''t say it, I was solved by the captain himself yesterday, and he played fiercely."

    On Black Fire¡¯s delicate face, the expression was very frustrated: "Captain, if I meet you again next time, can you kill me in another way? It is really aggrieved to be blown up in the car..."

    "Hahaha, it''s really unlucky to meet the captain!" The Reaper patted the boy on the shoulder, so strong that he almost knocked the black fire to his knees.

    Seeing that he couldn''t hide it anymore, Lin Chi also said decisively and honestly: "Well, it is indeed because the maintenance of War Paradise is over. I want to play another round today, so sorry, everyone."

    "It''s okay, I also want to play "War of Heaven", this game seems to be very popular now." Turbulence is very "magnanimous": "Then I will get off first, bye!"

    Before the words fell, the figure of the purple-haired female mage flickered and disappeared into the air. The other three members of the team quickly went offline, leaving Lin Chi still standing in the arena.

    ¡ª¡ªIt seems that the members of my team don¡¯t seem to have any interest in "Blade", they just come to play this game purely for work.

    So, maybe they can be attracted to "War Paradise"?

    However, now there is only the Death competition mode in War Paradise. Even if you bring the team members to play together, it will only evolve into killing each other...

    After leaving the game, Lin Chi finished the meals cooked by the housekeeping robot, washed and changed into comfortable pajamas. After he was fully prepared, he lay back in the game compartment again and replaced the currently used "Sword Blade" with "War Paradise".

    It''s time to start the second game.

    When the consciousness was pulled into the virtual world, the scene before him turned into a gray, emotionless female voice, which also rang again:

    "Upstream, welcome to the War Paradise test server, the Death competition mode is selected by default."

    "Starting to match, you are now in the queue, using random map mode by default. Random maps are being selected."

    Along with the emotionless female voice, a series of map names appeared in front of him again:

    Ten seconds later, a bright red name froze before his eyes:

    Welcome to the "Organization City"!

    "I want to play in the Women''s State Prison, my friend." Lin Chi murmured.

    Although he didn''t get to a map with a very powerful name, he knew that this "institution city" was a new map just updated today.

    Lin Chi is still very interested in the new map of this game.

    Obviously, in this new map, there shouldn''t be the situation of NPC resisting the administrator in the "City of Chaos". But maybe some other "BUG" can be found?

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi started to browse the map profile quickly.

    Then he found that the map profile this time was somewhat different:

    Office city.

    Map size: Medium.

    We haven''t figured out how to write the map introduction yet in our copy. We will fill in it later. In short, you will know when the time comes.

    Tips: I didn''t think about it too.

    After reading the extremely perfunctory map introduction, Lin Chi shook his head speechlessly.

    Before he could complain, his vision had begun to dim.

    Needless to say, his second game in "Paradise of War" started from this moment.

 Chapter 77: A Confused City

    Lin Chi, who was in the state of "reading notes" in pitch darkness, heard an emotional female voice in his ears:

    "I am entering the Institution City."

    "This map is a special map. The special NPC you recruited, "Crazy Ivan" and "Mining Queen" Media, cannot be brought into this map."

    "This map is a special map. The epic equipment in your warehouse-tiger claw hunting knives, can be brought into this map. M82A1 anti-material sniper rifles and M134 rapid-fire machine guns will not be able to be brought into this map."

    "The inheritable skills''Crazy Fugitive'' and''Saber Specialization'' have been added to your skill bar. You can enjoy skill bonuses in this game."

    After the prompt sound disappeared, Lin Chi lost consciousness again just like when he first entered the game.

    "Well¡­¡­"

    When he opened his eyes in a daze, the first thing that caught his eye was pale.

    There seemed to be ice crystals floating in the air, and the howling cold wind made the body lose its temperature. The moonlight cast on the head was cut into dozens of pieces by thin-line shadows and sprinkled around the body.

    "..."

    Lin Chi stood up in silence and looked down at own body.

    Now, he is wearing a set of gray robe, although it is a modern style, but it is inexplicably revealing an ancient style.

    This time, he was not "born" in a boxing ring full of voices. Instead, he was standing in a snow-covered alley. The walls on both sides seemed to be polished by bluestone, as smooth as a mirror in the moonlight. A strange cold light flashed. In the "garbage dump" around him, there is piled up¡ª¡ª

    "Um?"

    I saw the gray and white limbs piled up by the feet, and dozens of human heads intertwined in them. Lin Chi was also slightly surprised:

    Is it possible that you are on a curious map?

    Lin Chi bent down and tried to pick up an arm, with a cold and hard touch flowing from the palm of his hand to his body.

    "It turned out to be a puppet." He breathed a sigh of relief.

    The rubbish piled up here is not human stumps and broken arms, but very realistic puppets. The arm in my hand feels like wood, but it is covered with a layer of "skin" that looks almost real, and I don''t know what material it is made of.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

    The craftsmanship of this doll is more than a grade higher than those rough mannequins in real-world clothing stores.

    The strange thing is that these exquisite handicrafts are piled up at the end of the alley like rubbish.

    --what''s the situation?

    Since this map doesn''t even have a simple introduction, Lin Chi is currently in a daze.

    He could see that the map this time seemed different from the previous "City of Chaos". The city of chaos can at least be summarized as the commercial city of the beginning of the 21st century. But this time...

    "Could it be that the world line went wrong?"

    Lin Chi lowered his head and stared at the "precision machinery" exposed in the puppet''s arm.

    According to the normal science and technology tree, a doll with this level of production should be equipped with electronic equipment such as chips and circuit boards, but in the hollow arm in his hand, a few strands of silver thread are installed, and Wooden "skeletons" broken from joints.

    Lin Chi put down the doll''s arm, looked around with the moonlight, and found a few "small advertisements" on the wall.

    Although it is also an advertisement, the advertisement in the office city is obviously much better than that in the real world. The elegant running script is written on the white paper, which seems to be the handwriting of a calligrapher:

    "The Gudu Entertainment Center recruits three chefs and can provide ebony arm guards and a small Feng Shui engine."

    "Daishuiliu doll shop special offers big bargain, the original price of 998 dolls, now only 588!"

    After reading the contents of these advertisements, Lin Chi not only failed to understand the situation, but became even more confused:

    "What the hell is this?" He frowned slightly.

    Let alone what the "ebony armguards" and "small Feng Shui engines" are, the style of this place is completely different from the real world, and it is not like the ancient cities that have appeared in the past.

    It seems that it is better to go out and have a look to determine the current situation.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi touched the pocket of his gray robe. There was nothing in it except the tiger claw hunting knife inherited from the previous map.

    Before leaving the alley, he opened the own status bar to confirm his current status:

    Role name: Countercurrent.

    Domination points: 0.

    Prestige: 0.

    Kills: 0

    Strength: 12 (10 for ordinary people).

    Agility: 13 (10 for ordinary people).

    Stamina: 14 (10 for ordinary people).

    Lucky: 13 (10 for ordinary people).

    ¡ª¡ªIt seems that unlike the boxer last time, this time own physical attributes are weakened a bit, but the initial lucky value has increased a lot.

    But until now, Lin Chi hadn''t figured out the use of the lucky value in this game.

    The white snow flew all over the sky, falling on his shoulders and melting into icy water droplets. Strangely, Lin Chi didn''t feel a hint of chill.

    Still in a state of confusion, he walked slowly into the street in front of him, stood at the entrance of the alley and looked at the scene on the street.

    What you see is a very weird city from a modern perspective.

    Some of the houses on the street are made of wood and some are made of rock. Except for a tall stone tower with a hexagonal body, there are no buildings with more than four floors.

    The construction level of these houses is extremely high, and the accuracy of visual inspection is no less than that of modern buildings made of reinforced concrete. Compared with modern houses, they have a touch of classic beauty.

    As for the style of these buildings, they are between ancient and modern. The strange state of fusion of Chinese and Western styles looks a bit like the architectural style of the Republic of China, but it is even more bizarre than the architectural style of the Republic of China.

    As for why this is said, just look at any house and you will understand:

    Standing across the street is a gorgeous spire building with a strange dark red wall, like some kind of sacrificial house. On a wooden pole next to it, a billboard is hung with fine silver wire, and four characters are written on it in a flowing line:

    "Maoshan Tavern."

    Although the street was paved with bluestone slabs, it was surprisingly flat. The fluttering snowflakes just fell on the road and melted instantly, flowing into the inconspicuous circular holes on the pavement on the side of the street, leaving no trace.

    "..."

    Lin Chi watched the pedestrians coming and going with furrowed brows, and saw that most of them were wrapped in dark fur robes with white fluff at the neckline, as if they were blending with snowflakes.

    Unlike the ¡°hodgepodge¡± area in the City of Chaos, where everyone has a hodgepodge, the pedestrians on this street are obviously all Asians with black hair and black eyes.

    But now, Lin Chi couldn''t be sure about the origin of these guys who looked like his compatriots.

    "Has China ever had such a city?"

    He thought for a moment and found that no city of any dynasty fits the setting of this city.

    In this way, perhaps this city is really like Otherworld, which has a crooked science and technology tree, as I thought?

    "interesting¡­¡­"

    Realizing that he had entered a real "special map", Lin Chi''s dirty face suddenly showed a little smile.

 Chapter 78-Death River

    Accompanied by the sound of wooden wheels rubbing against the road, a peculiar "car" drove over from the west side of the street.

    The appearance of this car is obviously different from the car under the normal technology tree:

    The five pairs of wooden wheels juxtaposed under the car creaked constantly.

    The thing mounted on the carved wooden chassis is not so much a car body as a small wooden spire.

    A dragon''s head was carved in the "front of the car", and an ambiguous yellow light shone from under the pink curtains, swaggering past the snow-fluttering street.

    "I''m going, what is this?" Lin Chi said to himself.

    "Haven''t you seen the RV?" a young man passing by casually replied.

    "Sure enough, it''s a''RV'', which is much better than the RV in my hometown." Lin Chi smiled.

    The way the residents of the office city speak is no different from that of modern people. Although it may be designed for gameplay considerations, after all, if these NPCs use classical Chinese, few players should be able to understand them. but--

    Lin Chi knew that the game "War of Heaven" could not be considered in the same way as ordinary games.

    From the architectural style of this city, he has already judged that this is actually not a thorough ancient map, that is to say...

    Lin Chi stepped over the snow on the sidewalk, walked over to the ragged middle-aged man sitting by the wall, bent down and squatted in front of the homeless man with shoulders covered with snow, with a kind smile on his face:

    "Hello, what''s the date today?"

    "Go away." The man answered him roughly.

    "Oh¡­¡­"

    Seeing that NPC was very uncooperative, Lin Chi turned sideways to block the sight of the pedestrians behind him, suddenly pulled out the tiger paw hunting knife, and leaned it against the tramp''s waist, and said with a smile: "Can you answer this?"

    "December 5th." The tramp said solemnly.

    Seeing the astonishing speed of the other party''s face change, Lin Chi couldn''t help but laugh, put away the knife and patted the other party on the shoulder, and asked, "I want to know what age it is now?"

    Hearing this, the tramp''s dirty face suddenly showed an expression of "caring for the mentally retarded", and whispered: "307 years in the Gregorian calendar."

    Knowing that the calendar of this world is also different from the real world. Lin Chi did not continue to ask, but just stood up and walked to the east side of the street, observing the surrounding conditions along the way.

    Since the "Crazy Fugitive" skill that lowered the Wanted Index has also been brought over, this means that this city, like the City of Chaos, should also have guards.

    Unsurprisingly, Lin Chi soon noticed that there were several guys who were obviously different from passers-by walking around on the street, looking like they were patrolling.Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.

    These guys were all wrapped in black overcoats, with the same black hats on their heads. The silk hanging from the edges of the hats just covered their faces.

    Although the appearance looks exactly the same as a human being, the height of close to two meters and five meters and the slightly stiff movements still exposed the identity of these people in black.

    "Is it a doll?"

    Seeing this scene, Lin Chi realized that the guard patrolling the city this time was not a member of the damn security company, but a manufactured doll!

    Obviously, the combat effectiveness of these guys is definitely much stronger than ordinary people. With his current equipment and attributes, once pursued by these guys, it is basically difficult to escape successfully.

    ¡ª¡ªIt seems that this time, we can¡¯t do it arrogantly on the street like we did in the chaotic city...

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi also "safeguarded himself" and continued to walk quickly forward, planning to find a bookstore to read history books and understand what the world line of this city is like.

    Before he found the bookstore, he noticed that the ground under his feet began to tremble slightly.

    Lin Chi, who was about to walk to the river bank, looked up at the bronze guardrail beside the river bank and the river in front of the guardrail that was at least thirty meters wide.

    He could feel that the abnormal vibration of the road should be related to the river.

    The turbid river water reflected a weird light under the moonlight, and the water seemed to be spinning continuously, creating a few small vortices in the middle of the river.

    Although it is winter, the river is not frozen, let alone ice, not even a block of ice.

    "What''s the situation?" Lin Chi frowned.

    Obviously, this river in Institution City is also different from normal rivers. It''s almost like a huge monster, or something else, hidden under the muddy water surface, trembling non-stop...

    Realizing that the situation was not right, Lin Chi looked along the river bank to both sides, and found that there was no bridge leading to the other bank of the river, and the architectural style of the other bank was also different from that of the river bank.

    If the architectural style here is mainly Chinese, then the other side of the river is completely Western style, and it is still similar to the style of ancient Greece:

    The large buildings on the other side of the river are all supported by thick stone pillars. The walls are carved with paintings like the statues of Olympus. Even if they are hundreds of meters away, you can see that these sculptures are amazing. The degree of sophistication.

    The fire from the brazier on the street reflected the sky on the opposite bank.

    From this distance, Lin Chi couldn''t see what the passers-by on the other side of the river looked like, but he could also see that many of the guys there seemed to be blond, not like the river bank, who had all black hair and black eyes.

    Seeing this situation, Lin Chi already had an eye for the situation of the "Institution City" in his heart:

    If Own¡¯s inference is correct, the city should be ruled by two races. The two races face each other across the river and are likely to be in a hostile relationship. Because--

    Seeing dozens of black-robed puppet guards standing on the bank of the river, Lin Chi didn''t need to ask any more, knowing that they were guarding against the "different peoples" on the other side of the river.

    On the other side of the river, there are also many very tall humanoid objects that look like stone carvings...

    "This place is really weird." Lin Chi muttered in a low voice.

    ¡ª¡ªThe situation in this city seems to be more complicated than I thought before. The top priority now is to figure out the "background story" of this map before the battle begins.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi was about to turn around and leave the river bank, but saw three black dolls, escorting a blond man in a white robe, striding to the river bank.

    Accompanied by the whispers of passers-by, a doll stretched out its elongated arm, grabbed the blond man''s collar with one hand, and lifted the bruised man up.

    Then, from under the doll''s hat, a round, powerful male voice came out:

    "We caught the spies you sent, damn Europeans!"

    "I rely on..."

    Hearing this, Lin Chi almost laughed out loud. Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, he finally squeezed the smile back into his stomach, and continued to stand beside him, watching the sudden incident with passers-by:

    Under everyone''s gaze, the doll lifted the blond man''s body and placed it on the outside of the guardrail. The white man struggled desperately, kicking his feet non-stop, but he couldn''t make the lanky arms tremble at all!

    "Your spy will be executed in front of your eyes!"

    After the doll finished speaking, suddenly let go, the blond man screamed and fell into the turbulent river below, and then¡ª

    "Crack!"

    There was a terrifying sound in the river, like a giant beast biting steel teeth. The blond man''s body suddenly disappeared when he fell into the water, replaced by a blood mist on the water.

    "..."

    Although the man disappeared in less than a second, Lin Chi still keenly noticed what was hidden under the river:

    A giant "windmill" with a diameter of 20 meters is constantly spinning crazily under the river, stirring the water to create a vortex. As for the fan of that machine, it is made up of countless fine blades!

    "No wonder there is no boat here..." Lin Chi sighed.

    At this time, he finally understood the abnormal vibration on the bank of the river and how the vortex in the river appeared.

    There is no doubt that more than one "giant shredder" has been installed in the river. Under the deterrence of this terror machine, this river has also become a complete "Death River"!

    No wonder the spy was so panicked. It seems that the way to execute death row prisoners in this institution city is to throw people into the river...

    "This design is really amazing." Lin Chi sighed with emotion.

    He turned his head, using the oil lamp hung on the wooden pole by the side of the road, to observe the shop sign across the street.

    Then Lin Chi finally found what he needed:

    On the opposite side of the street to my left, there is an inconspicuous brown single-storey wooden house. On the signboard hanging next to the wooden house, the name of the store is engraved in running script:

    Cangjie Ancient Bookstore.

 Chapter 79

    Pushing open the small wooden door of "Cangjie Ancient Bookstore", a musty smell peculiar to old books hit his face. Lin Chi walked into some small shops and looked at the already yellowed books on the shelves around him.

    Like real-world stores, the name of this bookstore is nothing more than a gimmick to attract customers. It has nothing to do with the real Cangjie in history.

    Bookshelves are leaning on the four walls of the shop, directly blocking the windows. Sitting behind the wooden counter is a gray-haired old man wearing a blue blouse.

    "Come to buy a book?" The old man opened his muddy eyes and glanced at Lin Chi.

    "Um... I just want to come and read the book." Lin Chi touched his empty pocket. He doesn''t even know what currency this map uses now.

    Hearing his words, the old man''s brows suddenly twisted into a Sichuan shape, and there was obvious anger in his hoarse voice:

    "I don''t welcome people who read for nothing, go out!"

    "..."

    Seeing that the other party didn''t welcome him, Lin Chi didn''t directly draw his sword like before, but continued to "beautify" and asked: "I just want to read the history books, can''t I be forgiving?"

    ¡ª¡ªAfter seeing the black doll guards in the organ city, Lin Chi had no intention of committing any crime at all. After all, if he is hunted down by that kind of thing, I am afraid I can only play GG.

    "No." The old man''s attitude is still very firm.

    "All right."

    Seeing that the other party was very stubborn, Lin Chi didn''t mean to go on, but turned around and left the bookstore. I plan to go out and find some money-making work.

    As he currently doesn''t know the story background of this map, he doesn''t know where to go to find the mission.

    However, there may be another way to make money...

    Recalling the scene when he took blood in the "City of Chaos", Lin Chi wrapped his collar tightly, walked slowly along the river bank, and began to look for "outsiders" with unusual behaviors among the passers-by.

    According to his experience, in "War of Heaven", there are also guys who play games and broadcast live. These anchors usually use special props called spherical cameras during live broadcasts.

    Although no player or NPC can see the camera used for live broadcast except the player who is live broadcast, the behavior of the player who is live broadcast is obviously different from the normal player. To be precise, they will--If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

    "Ha, it''s you, friend."

    Lin Chi squinted his eyes and rubbed his hands sinisterly when he saw the boy who was standing next to the railing on the river bank and muttering to the air not far away.

    ¡ª¡ªBecause this map has just been opened, new players will definitely be attracted by this terrifying "River of Death". Because of this, Lin Chi guessed that there is likely to be a player streaming live here.

    Now that the goal has been discovered, the next thing to do is to find a way to create a time to do it.

    ...

    Standing by the guardrail, the short-haired boy in a gray robe scratched his hair and said to the gray ball floating in front of him:

    "Hello everyone, I''m the Terminator, and the map entered this time is the organ city that just opened today. This time I will definitely not be second! I promise!"

    As a rookie anchor, the Terminator previously sent blood several times during the live broadcast.

    In order to avoid "sending an angry blood" again, the Terminator was also more cautious this time, determined that there are many doll guards around him patrolling, and then stood on the river bank to start the live broadcast.

    "Well, everyone can take a look at this river. There are rotating machine blades in it. It''s really scary..." the boy said seriously.

    Obviously, this newcomer game anchor has not mastered the skills of chatting with the audience during the live broadcast until now. But even so, the number of viewers in his live broadcast room has reached thousands from the previous 100.

    The reason why these viewers come to watch his live broadcast is just to see how this guy will die...

    The boy adjusted the position of the spherical camera upwards, and photographed the river under the moonlight. His tone of voice also brought a bit of excitement:

    "I think this city should be the result of the development of''mechanism'' to the extreme! What people use is not the electronic technology that we know well, but another technology.

    I heard that there is a name in the city called''Feng Shui Engine.

    I¡¯m going to show you what is going on with this Feng Shui engine.¡±

    He had just finished speaking, when an oil lamp suddenly fell across the street, slamming it on the sidewalk and igniting a flame.

    Seeing that there was a fire in the street, the pedestrians passing by backed up, and the doll guards in black robes immediately strode over and began to look for suspicious people around them.

    "It doesn''t seem to be right..." The Terminator said and looked around.

    ¡ª¡ªIn the game "War of Heaven", his game technology may not be strong, but in terms of "Death experience", he is far ahead of other players!

    Realizing that the situation is not good, the Terminator was about to put away the spherical camera. When leaving this dangerous area, he suddenly heard a playful male voice on the right hand side of own:

    "Hello?"

    The Terminator didn''t even realize what was going on, he only felt his sight dimmed, and his body rose directly into the air, flew over the guardrail, and fell towards the muddy river below!

    "Your sister..."

    Before the Terminator''s voice fell, his body fell into the River of Death. The five senses were instantly cut off under the protection of the sudden death mechanism, and he was kicked out of the game and returned to the real world.

    Then, in front of all the remaining players in the organ city, a system announcement popped up:

    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 10,000 gold coins!

    With the appearance of the first kill prompt, Lin Chi''s pocket sank. The "gold coins" in his imagination did not appear. Instead, what appeared in his pocket was a wad of golden banknotes...

    "This world uses this currency."

    Lin Chi narrowed his eyes slightly, and without counting the banknotes, he hurried away from the "scene of the crime."

    It seemed that, except for the name and appearance, the currency in Institution City seemed to be the same as the "U.S. dollar" in the City of Chaos.

    After receiving the bonus for the first kill, Lin Chi walked back in the direction of the Cangjie Ancient Bookstore.

    At the same moment, after seeing the prompt for the first kill, a hoarse laughter suddenly came from the corner of the gloomy underground passage of Organ City:

    "Hahahaha, it''s ¡®upstream¡¯! I have always wanted to see you, buddy..."

    Leaning against the dirty wall was a strange guy in black clothes and black pants. His face was wrapped in a tattered strip of cloth, only thin short hair exposed, and a pair of scarlet and clear eyes.

    The exposed hands and neck of this person were covered with countless scars, some of which were still bleeding, and more of the ugly scars that were left before that were not fully healed.

    He swiped his saber with his left hand and made a circle, then drew a cross on own''s right arm. He couldn''t help laughing as he watched the bleeding blade of his skin and flesh out:

    "How long can you last? Don''t let me down!"

    He quickly nailed a mouse that had climbed on the wall with a saber. The injured guy strode to the outside of the passage. The right side of the body shows a gray skull icon that identifies the player, and a name that makes many players fearful:

    Bloodblade.

 Chapter 80 The History of the Institution City

    The common saying "money can make ghosts grind" is vividly reflected in the shop owner NPC who is set to only recognize money in the game.

    After seeing the banknotes in Lin Chi''s hand, the bookstore owner who was still disgusted with his face, suddenly seemed to have changed his person, and began to show his courtesy to him.

    Lin Chi only spent more than one hundred yuan to buy a lot of ancient books that were about to become moldy, and then threw all the books with yellowed paper into the gray cloth backpack that he had just bought from the roadside stall.

    Since the background story of this game map is not as "easy to understand" as the city of chaos last time, what he plans to do first is not to start killing people immediately, but to figure out the setting of this map first.

    So now, Lin Chi also walked into an antique-decorated hotel on the side of the road, opened a single room, and began to read the books he had just bought from the "Cangjie Ancient Bookstore".

    The candlestick on the bedside wooden cabinet gave off a leisurely light, reflecting the darkness of the bedroom. Lin Chi lay on the bed, flipped through a copy of "A Brief History of Ancient Times," and began to quickly browse the contents.

    When he first opened the first page, his expression was still "lazy", and he squinted his eyes and murmured lazily:

    "Oh¡­¡­"

    After reading a few more pages, Lin Chi''s eyes suddenly widened, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared:

    "Um?"

    As he continued reading, he opened his mouth slightly and made a confused voice:

    "what?"

    After another ten minutes, he had already entered a state of bewilderment:

    "what the hell?"

    ¡ª¡ªAlthough it has long been aware of the deviation of the world line on the map of Organ City, this unexpected development, even Lin Chi, had not thought of it before.

    A small part of the record in the front of this history book is quite similar to the real ancient history of China: Emperor Yan Huang, Martial King defeated Zhou, Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms...

    However, the situation has not been the same since the Three Kingdoms period.

    According to this brief history, after Liu Bei''s death, the military commander Zhuge Liang continued to command the Northern Expedition for the last wish of his predecessor, but he was unable to break through the defenses of the State of Wei.If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

    As Zhuge Kongming worked harder and harder, his physical condition also deteriorated.

    But this time, when his life was approaching the end, he did not think of a way to continue his own life, but did his best to make a great invention that changed history through studying the ancient mechanism techniques handed down by Mohists and public losers:

    This invention is the so-called Feng Shui engine.

    Lin Chi originally thought that the "Feng Shui Engine" was something like a magic-driven mechanism. But according to the records in this history book, the Feng Shui engine is not an ordinary machine, but an ancient computer made of bronze, silk and sandalwood!

    Although the Feng Shui engine at the beginning can only perform the simplest addition calculations, it is basically no better than the abacus, but with the continuous improvement of later craftsmen, its size has begun to shrink and its functions have become more and more powerful. .

    Today, the Feng Shui engine has become no less than a modern computer, a "microcomputer" that can be built into various machines and puppets!

    Since there is no radio equipment in this world line, the long-distance communication carried out by people here is done by borrowing the "spider web" buried underground to connect the entire city.

    By sensing the weak vibration of the silk thread, the Feng Shui engine can restore the voice of the other party, and even through the shadow shape cast inside, reproduce the appearance of the other party on another screen, completing an incredible "video call."

    In other words, China on the world line has not been industrialized, it has skipped a historical stage and forcibly entered the information age!

    As for the energy used by people in this era, in addition to wood and coal, mainly wind and water energy. The blade turntable installed in the River of Death is not just a machine for killing people, but also a simple "hydroelectric generator."

    With the continuous development of mechanism skills, puppets have also begun to become commonplace.

    The craftsmen installed small Feng Shui engines in the puppet''s body.

    These Feng Shui engines manipulate the wooden joints and silk threads in the puppet to make the puppet perform specified actions.

    This is also the principle of operation of the puppet guards on the street.

    NS.

    "F*ck, this black technology can only be done in the game..." Lin Chi sighed.

    Even he did not expect the science and technology tree of this world to be crooked like this.

    Since he still didn¡¯t know what was going on on the other side of the river, he continued to read the following, about the Greek country on the other side of the river:

    According to the description of historical books, the science and technology tree of ancient Greece is also very crooked. The shift of their technology tree started from Archimedes'' discovery of the use of solar energy through research...

    As the science and technology trees of ancient China and ancient Greece shifted, the two countries quickly completed their unification, and then began to expand rapidly at the same time in the 251st year of the Gregorian calendar, which is about 500 AD.

    Relying on "black technology" beyond the level of contemporary technology, they swept many countries along the way, until the army of these two countries encountered in the office city.

    Two extremely powerful armies fought a desperate battle along the river.

    The war lasted for three years, and both sides lost a huge number of soldiers, but still failed to decide the victory or defeat. In the end, the two countries could only negotiate peace, and with the river as the boundary, a new border was drawn.

    As each other was guarding against each other, both countries also started to build new fortress cities along the river.

    After decades, this deserted river beach has developed into a prosperous metropolis. This is the game map-"Organization City"!

    After finishing reading this incredible "history book" in half an hour, Lin Chi put down the damp pages and opened the window of the hostel. Suddenly, a roaring cold wind mixed with snowflakes rushed into the house.

    "Should some player be assigned to the opposite Greek control zone, right?"

    Lin Chi squinted his eyes and stared at the blurry Greek city in the distance.

    In his opinion, the players who enter this map should be randomly assigned to both sides of the river bank. If they were born on this side, then it would be completely meaningless to design the Greek city on the opposite bank.

    So here comes the question-how should the player cross the river where the giant "meat grinder" is installed?

    It seems that the two cities facing each other across the river are completely disconnected from each other. However, the technology and architectural styles of the two sides have also "comprehensed" a lot, which is obviously the result of mutual spy investigations between the two sides.

    However, if the players can''t cross the river at all, then this Death competition, I am afraid that the winner will never be determined.

    In other words, maybe you can find secret passages and other things to allow yourself to go to the Greek city on the other side of the river?

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi closed the window and stuffed "A Brief History of Ancient Times" into his backpack. Then he left the hotel and started looking for a weapon shop along the way.

    According to his speculation, there should also be a mechanism similar to "full-band scanning" in this map, and the battle between players will probably officially begin at dawn.

    Before that, it''s time to buy some reliable weapons and hire a few guards by the way.

 Chapter 81 Demon Slaying Handguards

    After half an hour, Lin Chi finally walked into the door of the "Qinhuang Divine Armament Store", leaning on the pedestrians on the street.

    The business situation of this shop is obviously much better than that of the ancient bookstore before. Even if it is close to midnight, there are still a few men with evil faces in the shop, choosing weapons in front of the counter.

    Just after Lin Chi walked into the store, a beauty with delicate facial features and wearing a cyan gauze greeted him, her mouth opened slightly, and she made a gentle voice:

    "Hello, welcome."

    "Yeah." Lin Chi looked at the "woman salesperson" in front of him.

    Although it looks like a real person, the woman''s slightly stiff expression and the footwork that is close to "sliding forward" reveals the fact that she is a mechanism doll.

    The exquisite doll tilted his head slightly and asked, "What do you need?"

    "Weapon of self-defense." Lin Chi said as he walked through the wooden floor of the main hall, stood in front of the glass counter, and checked the equipment displayed inside.

    What was placed on the counter was a short sword of ordinary appearance, with a hint of blue on the hilt, and a faint cold light flowing from the sword that didn''t seem to be sharp.

    Although it looks like a stall that can be seen everywhere on the street, the price and introduction of the weapon on the wooden sign next to it is obviously not that simple:

    Heavenly Sword.

    Price: One hundred thousand gold coins.

    This ancient sword was created by the legendary swordsmith Ou Yezi. It has the ability to absorb lightning, store it in the sword body for a short time, and release it again. It was once regarded as a Transcends Tribulation artifact by ancient cultivators.

    "Is there any way to play?" Lin Chi smiled.

    He could see that if this sword was not a fake, it must have reached the level of an epic weapon. However, now he only has more than nine thousand dollars on his body, and he can''t afford this kind of weapon for the time being.

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi didn''t stay in front of the "Heaven Cang Sword" for too long, so he began to browse the weapons displayed in other counters.

    From the machine gunner crossbow that can be fired automatically, to the spider silk Hidden Weapons that uses silk thread to control the joints of the human body, the variety of "black technology weapons" in this store can be said to be an eye-opener for Lin Chi.

    However, the prices of these weapons are also very high, with the cheapest being 20,000 yuan. With the money he got from the "first drop of blood", he couldn''t buy these weapons.

    "The price level of this map is so high..." Lin Chi muttered secretly.

    This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

    ¡ª¡ªAlthough the ancient books and backpacks I bought are not expensive, the price of weapons in the Institution City is obviously much higher than that in the City of Chaos.

    After all, the weapons of this world line seem to be mostly hand-made, and it is completely understandable that they are expensive.

    "Do you have anything you want?" The puppet who had been with Lin Chi repeated it again.

    "Well, do you have... a cheaper self-defense weapon?" Lin Chi asked.

    As a doll of the organ, after hearing Lin Chi''s request, she did not show any expression of contempt, but immediately nodded and said: "Yes, please come with me."

    Lin Chi followed the woman up the creaking wooden stairs to the dimly lit attic of the weapon shop. The display cabinets here are also made of glass, but unlike the cabinets below that are as clean as new, they are all covered with a thin layer of dust.

    "The weapons here are relatively cheap. They are our old products. You can check them out." The woman nodded slightly, then stood aside and moved away from the display cabinet.

    "Thank you." Lin Chi said and began to check the weapons here.

    Although the quality of the equipment here is obviously not comparable to the equipment below, in the early stage of the game, Lin Chi did not have high requirements for the quality of the weapons.

    He has always had a mediocre luck, even if his luck value this time doesn''t seem to be low, he doesn''t expect to find a "hidden artifact" in such a place.

    However, as long as it can be used...

    With this thought in mind, he quickly browsed the "crooked melons and cracked dates" displayed in the showcase on the second floor. Lin Chi quickly made a choice, pointed to a cabinet and asked, "How much is this thing?"

    Displayed in the glass cabinet is a black light armband that can be mounted on the forearm.

    Although the edges were a little damaged and the paint on the top was peeled off, the weapons on the armbands should still be usable.

    "This is the Demon Slayer Handguard." The woman quickly reported the name of the equipment: "Although this Demon Slayer Handguard is somewhat damaged, you only need five thousand gold coins to buy it."

    "It sounds good, can I give it a try?" Lin Chi looked at the equipment named "Devil Slayer Armor" in the cabinet.

    Judging by its appearance, this hand armor is a portable weapon mounted on the arm, similar to the Hidden Blade in "Assassin''s Creed", but obviously has other functions.

    "Okay, you can try it now." The woman said, walking up to open the cabinet.

    Lin Chi stretched out his hand and picked up the Demon Slaying Gauntlet in the cabinet. Then he rolled up the sleeve of his right arm and installed the cold and light metal armband on his right arm.

    At the same time, the introduction of the item popped up in front of him very intimately:

    Demon Slayer''s Handguards (damaged).

    Melee ranged weapons.

    Item level: Excellent.

    Use proficiency. Requires minimum agility value: 12. To reach the maximum attack power requires agility value: 18.

    "The Demon Slayer Handguard is a melee weapon commonly used by assassins and guards. It has various functions such as a Hidden Blade, Poison Needle, and Trap Line. The other devices on this Demon Slayer Handguard are broken, and only the Hidden Blade can still be used. use."

    After reading the article introduction, Lin Chi immediately realized that the damaged Demon Slayer''s Hand Armor was just a Hidden Blade with a different shape.

    However, with the experience of building workshops in the previous round, Lin Chi knew that the damaged equipment in this game could actually be repaired by himself.

    So now, he has not given up the damaged weapon. Just put on the Demon Slayer''s hand armor first, and then asked the woman next to him:

    "How to control this stuff?"

    "When you shake your hand hard, the blade will automatically pop out. Another way is to quickly make a fist twice. The Feng Shui engine built into the Demon Slayer Handguard will sense your instructions and control the blade to pop out." The woman explained. .

    "Oh¡­¡­"

    Hearing this, Lin Chi shook his right arm down vigorously, only to hear a crisp sound, a silver light rushed from above the Demon Slayer''s hand armor, and there was a slender blade close to a meter long, without warning. Appear in the air!

    "I''m going, so long?" Lin Chi was also taken aback by this weapon.

    Then, he noticed that on the back of his right hand, a slender wound was cut by the ejected blade, gurgling blood...

    "Evil proficiency." He complained.

    Open the status bar and see below the attributes, a new field for "Hand Armor Proficiency" has indeed appeared. Perhaps because of seeing the blood, the proficiency of the hand armor has directly reached 2 points.

    Lin Chi tried to swing the long knife that popped up on his hand armor. Although "strikes against the air" was not Ascension proficiency, he could feel that the sharpness of this knife should not be lost to the tiger claw hunting knife.

    ¡ª¡ªIf this Demon Slayer Handguard is repaired to a perfect condition, it should also reach the level of sophisticated equipment, or even epic equipment?

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi has decided to buy this broken hand armor, but before that, he still has a more important problem to solve:

    "How can I take this knife back?"

    "Just press the second button on the side of the armour with your left hand." The woman explained.

    Lin Chi pressed the button, and the blade of the Demon Slayer''s hand armor retracted at a terrifying speed, as if it had never appeared at all, leaving only a vague silver light.

    "Damn." He gritted his teeth.

    A scorching sensation hit the back of his hand, and there was another wound on his right hand.

    Relying on this self-harm behavior, his hand armor proficiency was also ascensioned again at the same time as the blade was retracted, reaching 3 points.

    "Maybe you can improve your proficiency by self-mutilation?" Lin Chi said inwardly.

    Looking at the two bloody wounds on his right hand, he quickly dispelled the idea.

 Chapter-82

    When Lin Chi walked out of the door of the Qinhuang Divine Armament store, he had only more than 4,000 yuan left.

    At this time, he had installed the Demon Slaying Handguard just purchased on his right arm, and the tiger claw hunting knife brought from the warehouse was put back into his backpack by Lin Chi.

    Although own proficiency is still a bit low, the attack range of this blade on the Demon Slayer Hand Armor is much larger than that of the Tiger Claw Hunting Knife. Moreover, the knife can be released instantly, and an unexpected sneak attack can be launched in the battle.

    So now, Lin Chi also decisively put away his "tiger claws," and instead used the Demon Slaying Gloves hidden under his sleeves to defend himself.

    ¡ª¡ªSo, what should I do next?

    Faced with this kind of true-sandbox game with no task prompts, even Lin Chi has a stunned look.

    This time, no NPC with the main action dead came to send himself a task, and there was no obvious prompt like "Go to the underground bar".

    Lin Chi knew that not just himself, but most of the players who entered this new map should be in a state of confusion right now, not knowing where to go.

    In this way, we can only start from the existing intelligence:

    Now he has a keen interest in the agency dolls that flood the city.

    According to the records in the book and what we have seen in person, these organ dolls are basically controlled by the Feng Shui engine, which can complete various instructions and even speak "robots"!

    If you can hire a mechanism doll, in the next battle, own odds will undoubtedly be a big Ascension.

    So, let¡¯s talk about where there might be shops selling dolls...

    Recalling the large number of broken dolls piled up in the alley where he was "born", Lin Chi thought for a few seconds, turned around and walked back in the direction of that alley.

    When he left that area, he did not see a shop selling organ dolls.

    However, the scraps of the abandoned dolls in the alleys should be rubbish "produced" in such shops.

    With the dim light of the oil lamp on the street, walking quickly across the snowy street, Lin Chi quickly returned to the front of the alley and carefully observed the surrounding buildings.

    Then, in front of a small gray building that looked very inconspicuous, he saw a wooden sign that was only the size of a palm, with the words "Water Flowing Puppet Shop" written on it.

    "Have you ever done this business?"

    Lin Chi smiled and pushed open the wooden door of the Shuaishuiliu doll shop.

    Since the dolls do not need to sleep, the shops in the organ city are still open until midnight.

    When you walk into the doll shop, the first thing you see is the horrifying row of "heads" on the shelf right in front of the door.

    The store¡¯s building is an all-wood structure, and like the previous weapons store, it has only two floors.

    The kerosene lamp hung on the wall exudes a leisurely light. Lin Chi looked around and was a little confused for a while facing the chaotic shop, so he asked loudly, "Anyone?"

    Before the words fell, a dark shadow suddenly flashed out from behind the shelf next to him.

    Immediately afterwards, a low female voice rang, sounding like a very bad mood:

    "Come to buy something?"

    "I want to see." Lin Chi looked at the other person''s face while speaking.

    It was a woman with long waist-length hair, white to a bloodless face, and a pair of weird cyan eyes were particularly eye-catching.

    She wore a long skirt painted with all kinds of flower patterns. From the appearance, she could be called a "black long straight classical beauty". However, Lin Chi still judged that this woman was also an organ doll based on the unnatural movements of her arms.

    "I am the owner of this store, what do you want to see?" The woman stared at Lin Chi with cyan eyes, looking impatient.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

    "I came here after seeing the price cut advertisements outside."

    Having said that, Lin Chi smiled and started to use own habitual methods, trying to extract information from the shopkeeper: "You seem to be in a bad mood, what happened?"

    He originally thought that the agency dolls in this city were "humanoid machines" that would only obey designed orders. He didn''t expect that such dolls could have emotions.

    It seems that the black technology of this organ city is even more amazing than I thought...

    When Lin Chi was thinking, the voice of the doll shopkeeper interrupted his thoughts:

    "It''s okay, it''s just that this store is about to close."

    Seeing the expression on Lin Chi''s face, the shop owner seemed to have guessed his thoughts, the "facial muscles" made of unknown materials on his face trembled, and his brows suddenly wrinkled:

    "I know what you are thinking. You think that the broken wood controlled by the Feng Shui engine can''t have human emotions, right?" the shop owner whispered.

    "I never said that." Lin Chi shook his head.

    As if he hadn¡¯t heard him, the shopkeeper continued to complain: ¡°It¡¯s not easy for me to open a shop. I have to pretend to be a real person every day. I accidentally exposed my identity the other day Someone came and smashed my shop..."

    "Is there anything else?" Lin Chi raised his eyebrows.

    By now, he finally understood why this store did not have a normal sign, and there were still puppet remains piled up in the alley behind the store.

    Even if he does not know exactly how the "Feng Shui Engine" works, it now appears that according to the setting of this game, some of the robot dolls in the robot city are actually like those made by supercomputers in the real world. Like the AI that came out, it has self-awareness!

    "Yes, I know you always discriminate against us." The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, and shook his right arm to make a clicking sound: "Is it wrong for the doll to open a shop? We can only become a tool of service? We can''t have own. Life?"

    Lin Chi was about to explain to the shopkeeper that he was innocent. He only heard a bang, and the shop door was suddenly kicked open. Two men in black who looked vicious and were not good at first rushed into the doll. Shop, holding an irregular-shaped iron rod in his hand.

    When the two entered the shop, a task prompt popped up in the lower right corner of Lin Chi''s sight.

    Start the task: confrontation.

    An unexpected situation occurred in the Water Flow Puppet Shop, and now you can choose to help one of them, or let the situation go on.

    Task reward: varies with the player''s choice.

    "Oh? It turned out to be this kind of task..." Lin Chi rubbed his hands thoughtfully.

    In the RPG of linear plot, this kind of task similar to "choose camp" generally does not appear. But for sandbox games, this kind of task is not a new design.

    Sometimes, a player''s seemingly inadvertent choice will affect the development of the entire subsequent plot of the game. And those players who choose the wrong option, even if they continue to play, they will not be able to save the situation, they can only read the archive and do it again.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi did not act immediately, but leaned against the wooden wall and began to observe the situation in the store.

    "What are you doing again? I will move out tomorrow!" The shopkeeper yelled out a little angrily: "The goods are all smashed by you, what else do you have to do?"

    Although her appearance with a disheveled hair looks very pitiful, the two men on the opposite side obviously didn''t mean anything to "pity and cherish jade". They just drew a stick on the wooden counter, leaving ugly scars on the counter.

    "Doll, we are working in your shop today, and we forgot to charge for the hard work!" One of the men laughed and shook his left hand at the woman: "Is it time to give money?"

    "Does smashing a shop count as work..."

    Seeing how the shopkeeper gritted her teeth when she was talking, if she were not a puppet, she might be vomiting blood with anger.

    However, Lin Chi, who was "watching" on the side, suddenly thought of another question:

    Why doesn''t she resist?

    From the guards on the street, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of organ dolls is much stronger than that of human beings of flesh and blood. Although the owner looks very weak, but as the owner of the doll shop, it is naturally impossible to have no fighting power at all.

    According to Lin Chi''s inference, if the shop owner made a move, he should be able to kill the two people in black who knew nothing about life and death.

    So why didn''t she do it?

    When Lin Chi was thinking about it, he saw a man in black strode forward and grabbed the owner¡¯s long hair and pulled hard. The beautiful doll suddenly fell to his knees, and the joint of his right arm twisted backwards strangely. After half a circle, there was a dangerous crackling sound.

    "Toy, do you have the guts to talk back to us?"

    The black-clothed man smiled and stepped on the shopkeeper¡¯s hand: ¡°The organ doll disguised as a human being is already a complete sinner. Not only can you not do anything to us, you are also not qualified to negotiate with us, so get the money soon. Come!"

    Hearing this line that seemed to be an "official commentary," Lin Chi immediately understood the reason why the shop owner did not resist.

    Then, he didn''t think much, he made a choice:

    "In other words, is it okay for the ¡®human¡¯ to do it to you?"

    A low voice sounded from behind the two men in black, like a funeral bell.

    Before the two even had time to turn their heads, a sharp white light flashed, and the gushing blood splashed on the shopkeeper''s face with a frightened expression!

    Under the surprised gaze of the doll shop owner, the man in the gray robe who was chatting with him just now kicked down the headless body of the man in black and put away the blade from his right wrist.

    Then, the man faced himself and stretched out his blood-stained right hand¡ª¡ª

    "Can you trust me now?" Lin Chi showed a kind smile on his face.

    "Why... why do you want to help me?" The shopkeeper''s voice was obviously confused.

    "Probably because those two bastards are too ugly?" Lin Chi teased.

    As the two men in black were beheaded, the "confrontation" task in his taskbar also became a completed state, but he did not receive the task reward.

    But Lin Chi knew that he should be able to see the "task reward" soon.

    "Do you have anything you want to say now?" He laughed.

    "Thank you... come with me, I have something I want to show you."

    The shop owner used ice-cooled soft fingers to hold Lin Chi''s bloody right hand.

 Chapter 83-Puppet Masters Armor

    Just after Lin Chi followed the shopkeeper up the steps, he heard the door of the puppet shop, there was a sudden clicking sound of wooden feet hitting the ground.

    Hearing this sound, the shopkeeper suddenly became nervous, pulled him aside forcefully, motioned him to go upstairs, and said in a low voice: "Don''t make a noise!"

    Lin Chi nodded, hiding in the shadow on the second floor, listening to the voice coming from downstairs:

    "How did people die?" A low and clear male voice came downstairs. It was the voice of the doll guard who executed the spy by the river before.

    "Suicidal." The shopkeeper explained.

    "You didn''t kill it?" There was a slight threat in the guard''s voice.

    "The Feng Shui engine doesn''t allow me to do this." The shopkeeper said quickly.

    "That''s right... We will take the body away. Also, if you leave the city before tomorrow night, you will be exiled."

    After the guard left the ultimatum, the sound of footsteps floated outside the house, apparently leaving.

    After the voice disappeared, another minute later, the figure of the shopkeeper finally appeared in front of Lin Chi''s eyes again, nodding and saying, "Okay."

    "You were exiled?" Lin Chi asked.

    "It''s okay, just leave the Institution City, and I can live anywhere else."

    The owner shook his head indifferently, then pressed the bronze button on the wall, and the light on the second floor suddenly turned on.

    "They smashed all my goods on the first floor, but there are still my treasures here." The celebrity girl smiled proudly.

    After the lights came on, what appeared in Lin Chi''s line of sight was a room that was not too wide. The wooden floor had already appeared some cracks, and it kept creaking when stepping on it.

    Compared with the messy shop downstairs, this room looked extremely empty, with nothing more than a wooden workbench in the middle of the room.

    Lin Chi followed the shopkeeper and walked to the workbench. The woman beside him stretched out her right hand and lifted the white cloth covering the workbench:

    Lin Chi also slightly widened his eyes when he saw something under the white cloth: "This is..."

    "Let''s see." The owner proudly raised his arms and stood aside.

    The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

    What caught your eye was not the imaginary organ doll, but a set of light half-body armor made of brown wood. It looks a bit like a "bullet armor" that can be worn on the upper body.

    However, the exquisite design of this armor is obviously higher than ordinary body armor to some extent:

    The outer shell of the body armor is covered with fine patterns to the degree of horror. On the front of the armor, the appearance of an evil spirit with blue-faced fangs is drawn.

    But this pattern is not just a carved pattern for decoration. In those patterns, a sharp silver light faintly flashes, which is obviously a hidden murderous intention!

    Lin Chi stepped forward and looked at the unknown equipment.

    He was about to reach out to touch the outer side of the armor, and when he looked at the item prompt, the shopkeeper suddenly stretched out his right hand and firmly grasped his wrist.

    "Don''t move! You will be cut into pieces."

    The owner said that he carefully stood in front of the armor, threw the head of a doll in his left hand, and then¡ª

    Dozens of cold light flashed in the air, almost to the point of unbelievable. Under Lin Chi''s surprised gaze, the rough wooden head was cut into several pieces before it even touched the chest of the armor. Ten fragments were spilled on the floor next to the workbench!

    "This is... a body armor?" Lin Chi let out a surprised voice.

    Although he knew that this woman was the owner of the doll shop, such a terrifying armor was beyond his prediction.

    ¡ª¡ªIf I accidentally touched this armor just now, I am afraid it would have been broken into pieces by now!

    "Yes, I made it, not bad, right?" the owner explained proudly.

    "There is no one with this craft." Lin Chi exclaimed.

    Even though the armor was only activated for a moment, Lin Chi still relied on his extraordinary dynamic vision to see the slender blades protruding from the inside of those patterns, forming a terrifying "cobweb" together.

    As long as you put on this armor, unless you encounter a warrior wearing a heavy armor, you will immediately gain an overwhelming advantage in close combat!

    "Well, I am also very satisfied."

    The shopkeeper nodded, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious: "Before I leave, I plan to give you this armor."

    "Huh? Not suitable, right..."

    Lin Chi was polite, but the smile on his face had already exposed his true thoughts:

    ¡ª¡ªObviously, this horrible armor is the reward for the mission after choosing to help the shopkeeper.

    "I originally wanted to give it to''that person'', it seems that there is no time."

    Having said this, the shopkeeper lowered his head in frustration: "For the sake of you killing those two bastards for me, this thing will be given to you, and it will be my parting gift."

    "Then I''m welcome." Lin Chi decisively accepted the trophy.

    Seeing his cheerful appearance, the shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, and said to Lin Chi, "Put out your left hand."

    Lin Chi stretched out his left hand to the puppet beauty in front of him, and saw that the woman took out an inconspicuous brown wood ring from her pocket and put it on the ring finger of her right hand.

    "The mechanism armor I made relies on this ring to identify the owner. As long as you are still wearing it, don''t take off the ring." The owner said seriously.

    ¡ª¡ªThis kind of ancient black technology is no one...

    Lin Chi sighed secretly in his heart, while pressing his left hand on the cold wooden armor. After staying for three seconds, an item introduction appeared in front of him:

    Armor of the Puppet Master.

    Armor.

    Item level: Epic.

    Light armor, you can use it without proficiency. Requires minimum strength value: 9.

    The user can choose to turn on and off the protection mode, the protection mode lasts up to five minutes, and the cooling time is three hours.

    When you turn on the protection mode, you get a special skill: Thousand Blades. It can instantly kill all enemies within two meters without heavy armor.

    "This wooden armor made by the puppet master is light and deadly. It can shatter the enemy''s corpse in an instant. But please be careful, don''t wear it upside down when you wear it, otherwise you will feel the''thousand swords piercing the heart''. Pleasure."

    "It''s actually an epic equipment, really earned it." Lin Chi secretly said in his heart.

    Playing so far, he has discovered that the epic equipment in "War Paradise" is actually not very rare. But the more advanced legendary equipment is really just a legend...

    Putting on this armor quickly, and then put the gray robe back on him, Lin Chi felt that he now seemed to be a "hedgehog" covered with blades.

    "How do I turn on the protection mode?" He asked the shopkeeper.

    "Hold down on this part of the ring, and when the ring turns red, the armor will activate." The shopkeeper added intimately: "Don''t wear it backwards!"

    "Don''t worry, I''m not a fool." Lin Chi smiled.

    After obtaining the trophy this time, he chatted a few more words with the shopkeeper. When he was about to leave the doll shop contentedly, he was stopped by the "beauty" with long black hair behind him:

    "Wait a minute, I want to ask you a favor..."

    Hearing the rare use of honorifics in the words of the shopkeeper, Lin Chi just turned his head, and saw the lower right corner of the line of sight, and the task prompt popped up again:

    Start the task: Missing notice.

    The owner of the Dushuiliu doll shop, hope you can help her find the master of mechanics who made her, and send a letter to the other party.

    Task reward: unknown.

 Chapter 84

    At midnight, the streets of Institution City were still brightly lit.

    Even though the number of pedestrians has decreased a lot, the mechanism doll guards wearing black hoods and hats are still patrolling conscientiously.

    Of course, even at this time, there are still a few pedestrians on the street.

    Among the few pedestrians, one of them is particularly eye-catching.

    It was a man in a gray robe, walking slowly on the snow-falling stone road, crossing the street without saying a word, like a lonely wandering soul, leaving only a desolate back.

    If it weren''t for his dead fish eyes and the demented expression on his face that ruined the atmosphere, perhaps he could really create a "decadent beautiful man" image...

    "what."

    Lin Chi, who was originally "sleepwalking", suddenly folded his arms and looked around, then muttered in a low voice: "It''s cold."

    Even in the game, he will occasionally enter the common tired state in the real world, and this situation will always occur frequently at midnight, or on cloudy days when it is raining and there is no sunshine...

    He pulled the collar of the gray shirt upwards, turned a corner at the intersection in front of him, and walked up the dimly lit street on his right.

    This street is narrower than ordinary streets, and the oil lamps on both sides of the street are not lit.

    Perhaps because there was no one, the number of guards patrolling here was also much less than the street just now.

    "Um..."

    Although he looked like a ghost that might fall asleep at any time, Lin Chi didn''t go back to sleep in the hotel, but drifted away and gradually entered a dark no man''s land.

    Then he turned into the gap between the walls of two wooden houses on the side of the street.

    ...

    A minute later, two black-clothed and masked men sneaked out of the shadows on the street, standing lightly to the place where Lin Chi had just disappeared, and peeping into the dark dead end.

    --Nothing at all.

    Seeing this scene, the two were stunned for a moment at the same time, then, as if realizing that the situation was not good, they immediately turned around and planned to leave.

    But they just turned their heads when they found a gloomy figure that had appeared behind them!

    "Look for me?"

    The sharp cold light cut the air and left a silver afterimage, and the man in black standing on the left was directly beheaded. The guy on the right didn''t have time to escape. Lin Chi had already kicked his right leg and knelt on the ground halfway.

    The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

    "who are you?"

    Lin Chi said that he used the blade protruding from the Demon Slayer''s hand armor to press against the opponent''s neck.

    In fact, he had noticed that someone was following him a long time ago, so he deliberately spared the long way and found a "dark area" where it is difficult for the guards to notice even if he kills.

    ¡ª¡ªEven if the epic equipment in "War Paradise" is not particularly rare, the process of obtaining the "Puppet Master''s Armor" just now was a bit too easy.

    Because of this, Lin Chi, a professional player, immediately inferred that there would be follow-ups.

    Unsurprisingly, it really caught alive!

    Seeing that the man in black did not speak, Lin Chi asked again: "Who sent you here?"

    While speaking, the long knife on his right arm gently stroked the opponent''s neck skin "gently", leaving a long blood trail.

    "Wait a minute! Don''t kill me!"

    Realizing that the other party would really kill him, the man in black shouted: "I was sent by the Dollhouse!"

    "What is the dollhouse?" Lin Chi asked in a low voice.

    ¡ª¡ªIt sounds like I have become the target of this organization. Moreover, this organization should have something to do with the group of people who smashed the doll shop.

    "The dollhouse is the alliance of the human supreme." The man in black said tremblingly: "It is for everyone''s benefit to resolutely resist the agency dolls..."

    "Oh, I understand." Lin Chi nodded.

    Even in the real world, there are organizations such as the "Robots Must Die Alliance". Those people never accept the services of any robots, and even deliberately destroy service robots in public places.

    There are always people who think that the intelligent machinery developed by scientists poses a threat to human safety.

    It seems that even in this world where the science and technology tree is crooked, such people still exist.

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi didn''t say much. Just as he was about to give this man a good time, a weak hiss suddenly came from his right hand.

    ¡ª¡ªSomeone is in ambush!

    When this thought flashed in his mind, his virtual body instantly retreated, and the long knife on the Demon Slaughter''s hand armor suddenly left the neck of the masked man.

    "what..."

    The black-clothed masked man who regained his freedom just made a confused sound, his body "translated" to the right by two meters, the joints of his limbs suddenly twisted to ninety degrees, and his body was distorted so that even if it was a mechanical doll, it was unable to The horrible shape!

    Wow!

    Like a fountain, blood sprayed out from dozens of fractures in the masked person''s body, creating an increasingly dark pool of blood on the ground.

    "What the hell?"

    Lin Chi turned his gaze to the position behind the tragic death of the black-clothed man, and saw a slender figure appearing like a ghost. Although it was also a black-clothed masked attire, just looking at the figure, he knew that it was not the same as the black-clothed man just now. same.

    "Good night, the enemy of the dollhouse."

    The tall, masked woman bowed politely to Lin Chi.

    Although the other party''s voice sounded very gentle, Lin Chi had no intention of chatting with this woman after seeing her killing method just now, but just turned around and ran away without saying a word.

    He could tell that the opponent was just an NPC and not a player. But even if it is an NPC, with its current equipment, there is only a dead end to rush to it!

    So, maybe other means can be used to solve this problem?

    "Don''t run..."

    The woman''s voice floated from behind, with a hint of temptation.

    Lin Chi knew that the other party was also chasing himself while running. In that case...

    He was still running wildly, but his body suddenly stopped without warning, and he came to a 180-degree turn, directly turning into a state of facing the enemy!

    Before Lin Chi could stand firm, a few silver lights suddenly lit up in front of him, and the thin, hard-to-observable thread brushed his cheeks, leaving a few straight scars.

    There is no doubt that the other party uses a silk-shaped Hidden Weapons, but the matter is over, Lin Chi has no intention of retreating at all, just like a hungry tiger rushing towards the woman!

    "do you like me?"

    Seeing the enemy rushing over, the masked woman''s eyes were bent into a crescent shape, and she suddenly lifted her black robe, revealing countless sharp silver needles and intricate silver threads that were almost woven into a net.

    The woman lifted her wrist gently. I don''t know what mechanism was touched, and immediately there were dozens of silver needles that pierced Lin Chi''s chest.

    With a soft noise, dozens of silver needles accurately hit Lin Chi''s left chest, which should be where his heart was. Then, all was blocked by the light wooden armor on his body.

    Realizing that the other party was wearing the body armor, the woman was about to send out a silver needle to attack Lin Chi''s head, but saw that the man in gray, with a blood-stained face, had rushed to her face and held out her arms firmly. Live yourself!

    Feeling that she was embraced by the other''s arms, the woman did not struggle, but suddenly laughed:

    "You are not welcomed by ladies like this."

    While speaking, there were already four silver needles nailed to Lin Chi''s right arm, but he still did not let go of his hands!

    Click!

    With a crisp sound, the spurting blood dyed her eyes red, and the masked woman frowned slightly in confusion. She was about to manipulate the silver needle to pierce the opponent''s eyebrows, but she could no longer feel her own body.

    ¡ª¡ªWhile she was still taunting own, Lin Chi activated the armor''s protection mode, with a zero-range attack with three thousand blades, and instantly executed the female assassin in his arms!

    "Uh..."

    Seeing that the woman was still standing stiff on the spot, Lin Chi used his left hand to pull out the silver needle nailed to the Demon Slayer''s hand armor, and turned and left without looking back:

    "Goodbye, lady."

    Before Lin Chi''s words fell, the woman''s body shattered to the ground like a collapsed building block.

    At the same time, a line of scarlet letters popped up in front of Lin Chi''s eyes:

    The dollhouse has put you on the kill list.

    "Who cares about you..."

    He yawned for a long time and looked down at his tattered gray robe.

    Now, it''s time to find a new dress to wear.

 Chapter 85 Unknown Mission

    Most of the shops in the agency city that are still open at midnight are viewed by agency dolls.

    These puppets that rely on the "program" set in the Feng Shui engine will not show fear and doubt even if they face customers who are covered with blood and are very suspicious at first sight. Dedicated service.

    Lin Chi took off the indescribable "sticky" gray coat on his body, replaced it with the black cloth that he had just bought, paid five hundred gold coins with satisfaction, carried a cloth bag that was not stained with blood, and left the street. Side clothing store.

    After confirming that no one was following, he returned to the hotel he had rented, walked into the single room, walked firmly towards the wooden bed, and then¡ª

    Lin Chi closed his eyes as soon as he lay down, and his consciousness began to blur.

    Although the hostel is not a safe house, it cannot provide "absolute defense" during sleep. But he knew that in a city the size of the agency city, other players couldn''t easily find own sleeping in the hotel.

    Obviously, in this map, there should also be a mechanism similar to "full-band scanning", or other rules may be used. But now...

    "Sleep is important."

    Within ten seconds of lying on the bed, Lin Chi entered a deep sleep state.

    When he opened his eyes again in a daze, the sky outside the window was already bright, and the heavy snow at night stopped.

    He rubbed his eyes, sat on the bed and yawned, looking up at the small wall clock hanging on the opposite wall. The time displayed on it was 8:30:

    Perhaps it is to make it easier for the player to calculate the time. Even in this city with a crooked technology tree, apart from a different chronology, the method of measuring time is no different from the real world.

    The clocks in this world are like the collections in the museum of the real world that can only be viewed through glass.

    ¡ª¡ªThe wall clock in the room I lived in was actually cast with a material similar to obsidian. The outer shell flashed a faint light, and the three crystal hands on the dial were moving at different speeds.

    "Um¡­¡­"

    Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

    Lin Chi just woke up, still a little confused, first opened the task bar to confirm the task, and then from his backpack, took out the letter that the owner of the "Water Flow Doll Shop" gave to own last night.

    The only task on him now is to help the shopkeeper who is about to be exiled, find the mechanic master who made the shopkeeper, and then give this letter to the other party.

    Although it is also possible to open the letter and check the contents, Lin Chi knew that if he did this, the mission might be judged as a failure.

    Therefore, even though he was very curious about the content of the letter, Lin Chi did not open the envelope rashly, but just weighed the envelope in his hand.

    There seems to be no blade or anything in the envelope, only a piece of letter paper, but even if it is placed in the sun, it is impossible to read the contents through the envelope.

    "never mind."

    Lin Chi packed the letter back into his backpack, left the hotel and returned to the streets of Institution City.

    In fact, even if the shop owner didn''t send a mission, he was very interested in the mysterious master of mechanics.

    It is undoubtedly a true master who can make a self-aware organ doll. If you can find that master, maybe you can learn skills such as "True Mechanism Art", or get a powerful battle doll!

    The question now is, where is this agency teacher?

    It¡¯s completely different from the simple running missions in "decent online games". This mission doesn¡¯t mention the location of the mission¡¯s goal at all, and the shop owner doesn¡¯t remember exactly who made him. He just said that the person ¡°kept a little bit "Beard" only.

    To find the mission target in this situation is simply to find a needle in a haystack, and it is even more difficult than finding other players!

    Maybe we should find a place to gather information?

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi also decisively walked into a common "information distribution center" in the game-a tavern on the side of the road, ready to inquire about the situation.

    The light in the tavern was very dim, and a few drunk drunks sat at the square table, holding rough wooden cups and kept drinking. Lin Chi went straight to the counter and directly asked the guy in the tavern who was standing behind the wooden counter what he wanted to know the most:

    "Who is the most powerful agency teacher in the agency city?"

    "Why should I tell you?" the squirrel-eyed young man behind the counter curled his lips.

    Seeing the reluctance on the other side''s face, Lin Chi took a banknote from his pocket and handed it to that guy.

    "Well, it''s almost..."

    After borrowing the money into his pocket, the b*****d nodded in satisfaction and said, "You are looking for the''Royal Institution Teacher'' Xia Ye, right?"

    "Is the royal institution teacher serving the royal family?" Lin Chi continued to question.

    As a newcomer, he didn''t know much about the specific conditions inside Institution City. So now, I am also trying to figure out more information.

    Hearing Lin Chi''s words, the guy in the tavern couldn''t help laughing: "Where does the royal family come from this ghost place in the backcountry? It''s just a title, a title!"

    "Oh¡­¡­"

    Lin Chi nodded thoughtfully, and added: "Does this''Summer Night'' have a moustache?"

    As soon as these words came out, the tavern guy laughed even harder, and the wooden cup in his hand almost fell to the ground: "Friend, you really don''t know anything?"

    "What''s the matter?" Lin Chi frowned slightly: "Have you seen him?"

    "Even if I haven''t seen the royal magistrate, I know it''s a woman, where does the moustache come from?" The tavern guy laughed.

    "That''s it." Lin Chi whispered.

    ¡ª¡ªIt now seems that the agency teacher who created the shopkeeper should not be this "royal agency teacher", but other roles such as the hermit master.

    In this way, the difficulty of completing the task of sending a letter by oneself has undoubtedly increased a lot...

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi was about to continue to inquire about the information of other mechanical art masters. In the lower right corner of his vision, a few lines of red letters suddenly popped up:

    Twenty minutes later, the first "big hunt" of this game is about to begin. Players, please be prepared.

    The two camps in the organ city are looking for spies to sneak into the city. After a period of investigation, they finally confirmed the location of the spy.

    When the large-scale hunting begins, all players who enter the game will be judged as spies, their positions will be displayed on the small map, and they will be chased by guards throughout the entire process for 20 minutes.

    As soon as this line of reminder came out, Lin Chi''s body froze for two seconds, as if the words "Mom sells" in his heart slowly rose...

    "Your sister, what is this setting?"

 Chapter 86 The Cruel Dolls in the Institution City

    In the sunny morning, the citizens of the office city hurried to their own jobs.

    With the widespread use of wooden cows and horses and black-tech harvesters called "Xiashanhu", there are no farmers in this city who personally go down to the fields to plant the land.

    Seedling transplanting, irrigation, care and harvesting are all automated operations, which can be described as a complete entry. "Modern Era".

    Since physical work can basically be handed over to agency dolls, people¡¯s jobs are the same as in modern society, from mainly manual labor to mainly mental labor.

    Although it used to be a fierce battlefield, the current organ city is quiet and peaceful. Whether it is the China-controlled area on the river bank or the Greek-controlled area on the opposite side, there is no active plan to start a war, and a delicate balance has been maintained.

    However, that must be when the "big hunt" did not begin...

    Pedestrians passing by the streets of Guancheng quickly noticed that the number of guards on the street today seemed to be much more than usual. Realizing that something was going to happen, they couldn''t help but speed up.

    Just as they expected, it didn''t take long for the organ doll''s unusually loud voice to come from the bronze loudspeakers installed in the streets and alleys:

    "The hunt is about to begin, please retreat as soon as possible!"

    Hearing this, the pedestrians on the street suddenly fell into a panic, and all ran quickly, rushing to a nearby location that seemed safer.

    Obviously, they have all seen the bloody scene of "hunting".

    In the rushing crowd, mixed with a young man in black, running along the road looking for a narrow entrance that can block the guards of the dolls.

    "Which b*****d with a brain designed this rule?" Lin Chi cursed secretly in his heart.

    Although he had already speculated that the rules of the game in Institution City should be different from the City of Chaos. But now it seems that the way this map forces players to enter the battle is much more malicious than full-band scanning.

    In the early stage of the game, the player simply couldn''t beat the guards on the street. When the "big hunt" started, it was a problem whether they could escape from the guards, and there was no time to deal with other opponents!

    In this way, it is undoubtedly more difficult to achieve the conditions for the victory of the "murderer" in this map than in the City of Chaos.

    While Lin Chi was running, the countdown that had been hanging in his field of vision had only less than two minutes left.

    The guards of the agency dolls on the street all stood on the sidewalk, their voices were very calm, and they didn''t sound like they were going to kill:

    "Draw a knife."

    Before the words finished, dozens of agency dolls had pale and long arms stretched out from under the black robes. In the wood palms with distinct joints, they held a large, wide-bladed saber, and the blade was nearly two meters long!

    "f**k..." Lin Chi cursed.

    ¡ª¡ªThese dolls are not only tall and magnificent, but their attack range is far beyond the Demon Slaying Gauntlets on their body.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

    In the face of this kind of enemy, even the armor of the puppet master is useless, because if you can''t get within two meters of them, you will be killed directly!

    Realizing that the situation was worse than he thought, Lin Chi rushed directly to the second floor of an inn and hid in a small, empty warehouse.

    Since the innkeeper and other people in the shop also sought refuge, no one noticed his whereabouts.

    Although this place is not suitable for close combat, what Lin Chi wants to know now is: Will these puppet guards come to chase after him without seeing own?

    In some games, the "policeman" will start searching after chasing the target and leaving the field of view.

    There are other guards in the game.

    As long as the player is in a wanted state, no matter where the guy hides, he can accurately find out the whereabouts of the opponent.

    You can even "refresh" from various weird corners and directly attack the wanted player!

    So, which kind of dolls are responsible for city security in the bureau city?

    Leaning on the solid and icy rock wall, when Lin Chi was thinking about it, the countdown reached 00:00.

    Then, there was a harsh scream from the street, and the roar of the doll guard:

    "We are hunting spies, get out of the way!"

    The organ dolls holding two saber-cutting knives in their hands violently passed through the crowd. The blades in their hands refracted the sunlight and dazzled Lin Chi''s eyes.

    At this time, Lin Chi was leaning against the wooden window, hiding behind a wooden shutter similar to a shutter, observing the scene on the street.

    Without time to pay attention to the large number of red dots suddenly lit on the small map, Lin Chi looked down at the situation on the street. The dolls didn''t seem to find themselves, but suddenly rushed towards the sidewalk across the street.

    These "monsters" made of wood and metal move much faster than ordinary people, but their feet are exceptionally stable, as if they are sliding forward.

    Under Lin Chi''s gaze, a flat-headed man in light armor across the street didn''t even have time to resist, and was chopped off his right arm by an organ doll with a knife!

    Seeing the terrible scene, Lin Chi frowned.

    The player didn''t even have time to scream, he was surrounded by four organ dolls, and eight sabers were chopped off, attacking from multiple angles and all directions, instantly covering every corner around him!

    Although from this angle, I can¡¯t see the horror of the person being chopped into meat sauce. Just by looking at the blood volume, Lin Chi is absolutely certain that this poor player must have triggered the sudden death mechanism and was kicked out of the game by cutting off the five senses. ...

    When the organ dolls turned around, their black robes were already covered with blood stains, and the color became darker.

    Then, the first kill prompt after the hunt started, popped out in response:

    The player "daddy strong invincible" was killed by an NPC!

    In less than a minute, five more kill prompts appeared. Unlike the city of Chaos, all players who died this time were killed by NPCs.

    "How to play this?" Lin Chi''s expression turned gloomy.

    He originally wanted to continue to meet the conditions of the "Murder" in this game and win the game, but now it seems that the players have been killed by the city guards. It seems very unrealistic to complete the "Murder"... ¡­

    To win this game, perhaps two other winning conditions should be chosen?

    Just thinking of this, Lin Chi suddenly heard a dangerous click in the corridor downstairs.

    --Oops.

    As soon as he turned his head, he was dazzled by the light shining from the blade, and saw a saber knife, slashing directly at own head!

    Lin Chi suddenly squatted at a terrifying speed, his body was suddenly shorter, as if he had fallen into a well. The saber almost scratched his scalp, cut the wooden window frame roughly, and got stuck on the stone wall on the right side of the window frame.

    Looking back, because the inn¡¯s stairs were very narrow, the mechanism doll that was attacking him had his upper body stuck at the top of the stairs. Wearing a straw hat leaned forward laboriously, and his two pale arms were waving constantly, almost like A disgusting spider.

    Take advantage of it now!

    Seeing that the organ doll''s body was jammed, Lin Chi shook his right arm violently, the long knife in the Demon Butcher''s armor pierced the sleeve of the shirt, and cut straight to the doll''s arm.

    With a crisp sound, the doll''s right arm did not break, but it also left a deep gap. At this time, the two sabers had already cut from two directions, in an attack pattern similar to scissors, and cut towards the forest at the same time. Late neck!

    --That''s too late!

    Realizing that he was about to be beheaded in a second, Lin Chi, who had no way of retreating, did not dodge, and once again slashed the gap in the right arm of the organ doll.

    Click!

    After the second attack, the mechanism doll''s right arm flew out with the saber-cutting knife and hit the opposite wall. Lin Chi leaned sideways against the wall on his side, watching the saber-cutting knife attacking from the left. , Turned into a silver light and cut to own throat!

    "clang!"

    The knife slashed on the window frame again, and the extremely sharp blade got stuck less than five centimeters from Lin Chi''s throat.

    Then, the only remaining left arm of the doll was also severed by the "sleeve sword" on the Demon Slaughter''s Armor.

    ¡ª¡ªIt is undoubtedly inconvenient to use a long knife in such a small area. This is one of the reasons why Lin Chi chose this hiding place.

    By this time, he had already learned that even if he hides in a place invisible to the puppets, he will be chased by guards, but now¡ª

    Lin Chi took a step forward and pierced the doll''s head hidden under the hat with a sword. Then, with a strong mention, he tore off the organ doll''s head abruptly!

    At the same time that the body was in a different place, the action of the organ doll that was still struggling stopped instantly.

    Lin Chi saw hundreds of silver threads hanging down from the fracture of the organ doll''s neck, and what appeared under the hat was a dark brown human head that had been treated with special antiseptic treatment!

    "Is this the head of a dead man?" Lin Chi was taken aback.

    Facing the unexpected situation, he was guessing what was going on when he heard a rush of knocks from downstairs again.

    Other organ dolls also noticed the "Death" of their companions, and started chasing themselves!

    Mindful of this, Lin Chi kicked open the wooden window that had been cut in half, turned the window vigorously, jumped directly from the second floor, and landed heavily on the sidewalk.

    "My old bones are about to fall apart..."

    Seeing the four black-clothed dolls in the store turning around, Lin Chi complained and ran away without hesitation.

 Chapter 87-The League of Fugitives

    Running along the not-so-wide road, the shadow behind it became thicker. Lin Chi knew that the organ doll was about to catch up, but he didn''t plan to look back.

    If the City of Chaos is of normal difficulty, this time the map is at least difficult. In less than five minutes, twenty players have died under the massacre of the city guards!

    Although I don¡¯t know what the guards are on the side of the Greek control area, the organ dolls on the river side are really out of combat power...

    ¡ª¡ªAs long as you are overtaken by the lanky puppets chasing after you, you will undoubtedly end up being hacked to death!

    Because of his low physical attributes this time, he couldn''t get rid of Lin Chi who was guarding him at all, so he could only turn his direction while rushing all the way and rush into a narrow alley less than two meters wide next to him.

    boom!

    He just ran forward embarrassingly a few steps before he heard a dull crash sound from behind him. The black-robed doll chasing after him was stuck at the entrance of the alley, and he barely stretched his right arm in. , Madly brandishing the saber in his hand.

    "Huh, it''s risky."

    Seeing that the doll was stuck, Lin Chi was too late to breathe a sigh of relief. A large shadow cast from above his head suddenly enveloped his body.

    Looking up, I saw two puppets climbing on the roof like geckos. The dark silhouettes hung on the roof, "overlooking" themselves from the roof of the second floor.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Chi raised his hand and chopped open the broken wooden door beside him, and then rushed into the house. When he turned around, he saw three sabers that had pierced where he was just standing!

    "Your sister..."

    With lingering fears, Lin Chi raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Lin Chi turned and looked at the furnishings in the room. The decoration of this room was similar to the inn he had stayed in before, and it didn''t look like an ordinary residence.

    After confirming that there was no one else in the room, Lin Chi sat on the carved wooden chair in the corner of the room, temporarily put away the Hidden Blade on the Demon Slayer''s hand armor, and opened the status bar to confirm the current time.

    This damn big hunt has already started for seven minutes, and there are still 13 minutes before it ends.

    Although he was safe for the time being, Lin Chi didn''t think he could hide until the end of the hunt so easily. and¡­¡­

    Looking at the red dot that appeared in the house next door, Lin Chi smiled, stood next to the stone wall, reached out and knocked on the wall, and asked loudly, "Is anyone?"

    "You are a player too." A dull male voice came across.

    "Of course." Lin Chi said to the dusty wall: "But I''m not here to fight now. Do you want to form a temporary alliance?"

    Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

    ¡ª¡ªUnder the current situation, infighting is not a good idea. It is better to find a way first and survive the next ten minutes.

    After Lin Chi proposed to "group" temporarily, the player on the other side of the wall did not immediately answer. It took a minute before he slowly said, "Well, you go back a bit..."

    Before he finished his words, only a loud noise was heard. The stone wall in front of Lin Chi suddenly arched outwards. After five seconds, it collapsed, revealing a large hole large enough for adults to pass through!

    Lin Chi waved his hand to disperse the dust floating in front of him, smiled at the tall figure standing on the other side of the big hole, and said, "How are you?"

    "Don''t be close."

    The other party looked at Lin Chi with furrowed brows, and on his sharp, sturdy face, it seemed that the three characters "distrust" were written.

    He was a burly man nearly two meters tall, holding a heavy bronze warhammer in his hand, wearing a set of silver chain mail, and a face that was nearly square in shape. The mountains are overwhelming with the world" posture.

    Lin Chi and the other party stared for a few seconds, and suddenly a gray skull marking the player popped up in their eyes, and the other party also had only two characters, very simple and rude names:

    Overlord.

    "What shampoo do you usually use?" Lin Chi couldn''t help but joked.

    "Don''t be nonsense..." The Overlord was obviously not interested in this topic.

    When seeing Lin Chi''s character name, the gloomy big man suddenly opened his eyes slightly, pointed to Lin Chi''s face and asked: "Are you''reverse current''?"

    "Do you know me?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.

    ¡ª¡ªAs a name that he casually made when he entered the game, he doesn''t think that the popularity of "Reverse Current" is already so high that everyone knows it.

    "You killed that Frankenstein? There are posts in the forum discussing this. After all, Frankenstein never seems to have been defeated."

    The Overlord said in a loud voice, and the expression on his face seemed to ease a little: "Thank you so much. I was beaten to death by Frankenstein once."

    "I''m just lucky..."

    Lin Chi''s mouth was modest, but the smug smile on his face didn''t mean the slightest humility, and he went straight to the topic without hesitation: "If this is the case, can we form an alliance for the time being?"

    "It''s safe to hide here, do you want to kill?" The overlord put on a heavy bronze helmet to cover his angular face.

    "No, I just don''t think things will be that simple." Lin Chi smiled.

    ¡ª¡ªIf you hide in this kind of place, you can avoid chasing and killing organ dolls, this so-called large-scale hunting, there is no need for existence at all.

    Until now, the prompts that the player was killed by an NPC still pop up from time to time. By this time, these players should have hidden away from the mechanism puppets a long time ago.

    Obviously, the town guard still has other killers. and¡­¡­

    "Do you feel it?" Lin Chi asked in a low voice.

    It seemed that there was a small earthquake, the ground under my feet was trembling slightly, and the white porcelain cup on the wooden table next to it began to tremble constantly.

    "What is it?" The Overlord also noticed that the situation was not right.

    Boom!

    There was a loud noise and the smoke filled, and the brawny man who was still standing on the other side of the hole stumbled into the room where Lin Chi was.

    Dust and rubble rushed out of the hole behind him. Under the gaze of the two people''s astonished eyes, the two-story building where the Overlord had just hid was directly smashed into pieces!

    A black iron material with a "big foot" engraved with dark red lines appeared at the location of the hole. The weird red glow was constantly flowing from the lines on the surface of the cylinder, as if an ancient magic had been applied.

    "f**k..."

    Seeing this scene, the "heroic spirit" of the Overlord just disappeared suddenly, turned around and rushed to the door, shouting: "Run!"

    Lin Chi was faster than him, and at the moment the house next door collapsed, he had already rushed out of the house.

    Looking back, I saw a black iron "giant" with a height of at least five meters, striding in the direction where he was in a crushing manner!

    The thing was engraved with dark red lines all over its body, and it looked like a deformed Vajra without a head. At the top of the battle armor that can no longer be described as "ancient black technology", stood a figure wearing light armor and holding a halberd.

    "..."

    Facing this oppressive big guy, Lin Chi also ran away without saying a word. While turning around to escape, a few lines of introduction text appeared in the lower right corner of his vision:

    Reloaded puppet-Huo Qubing, a hero-level NPC. (Chief level)

    "In order to commemorate the general Huo Qubing, who had broken the Huns'' army before the birth of the Feng Shui engine, but died young. The solar engine technology that came. As long as there is sunshine, this organ doll is the king of killing!"

    Lin Chi and Ba Wang turned and ran away together, rushing back to the previous street, and couldn''t help cursing:

    "Your uncle, is there another''Wei Qing'' hiding at the door waiting for me?"

    "No, Wei Qing is in the east, I met just now, and finally ran out alive." The Overlord said breathlessly.

    "Really..."

    Lin Chi, who was already unable to complain, activated the Hidden Blade on the Demon Slayer''s hand armor, stopped a wooden locomotive that was passing by, rudely pulled out the man who was driving, and got into the interior of the car with the Overlord.

    "You take care of it, don''t let the agency dolls come up, I''ll drive."

    After Lin Chi turned around and exhorted him, he sat in the cab made of palm wood and began to try to manipulate the "wood house" with wheels.

 Ch-88

    Facing the slender puppets that swarmed, the overlord stood in front of the RV that had just stopped holding the warhammer. He turned his head and glanced at the "cabin" behind him, and a loud shout broke out from under the bronze helmet:

    "bring it on!"

    Before he could say anything, he already raised the bronze warhammer with a little blue glowing high, and smashed it down at the doll that was leaping forward.

    boom!

    The violent roar brought out a near-physical "shock wave", which shook Lin Chi in the car for a moment''s tinnitus.

    The doll that rushed from the front instantly distorted its body from a human shape to the shape of a spider, and fell to the ground with a slight twitching sound accompanied by a crackling sound like a branch breaking.

    The Overlord¡¯s attack was not only surprisingly powerful, but also terrifying agility.

    The heavy hammer slammed to the right, smashing another doll that was about to swing a knife into the air, drawing a beautiful arc.

    Flying three meters away, they knocked down the two organ dolls that rushed up behind.

    "Okay!" The Overlord shouted loudly: "I can''t stand it anymore!"

    "Grasp it firmly." Lin Chi''s voice came from the locomotive.

    Hearing this, the king smashed a doll with a hammer, turned and jumped into the "door" of the wooden house, and just hid in the car, three more sabers stabbed in, and the blade slashed his arm. It left a scar with deep visible bones.

    "Hold!"

    Although the pain in the game has been weakened, seeing this kind of wound on his body, the overlord could not help but yell.

    At this time, Lin Chi finally started the locomotive powered by "ancient black technology", and drove the car abruptly to speed up, throwing aside the robot dolls that were surrounding him.

    Compared with the cars born under the normal technology tree, the panel of this locomotive is actually more concise. From the perspective of a cab without a dashboard, humans in this world should not have a way to measure speed.

    This car is not driven by gasoline or electric power, but on some kind of unknown principle of wind energy.

    Lin Chi grabbed the wooden grip in front of the seat and pulled it back. He only heard a sharp roar from the rear of the car. This "house" mounted on wooden wheels suddenly rushed like a wild horse. Go out and hurriedly go straight to the front of the street!

    Looking to the outside through the window in front of the car, seeing a stone tower appearing right in front of him, Lin Chi lowered his head to confirm the internal structure of the locomotive, and muttered to himself in a low voice:

    Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

    "I''m going, where is the steering wheel?"

    Hearing this, the tall and majestic "Overlord" also squeezed into the narrow cab, frowning at the wooden joystick in front of Lin Chi: "Damn, this car doesn''t even have a steering wheel? Which b*****d design is it? of?"

    "How do I know?" Lin Chi said angrily, reaching out to hold the only joystick in the cab, and squeezing it to the left.

    Wow!

    At the last moment before hitting the tower, the locomotive made a nearly ninety-degree turn to the left. Due to the sharp turn, the wooden body jumped up and almost fell to the ground.

    Seeing that he turned too far and was about to crash into the nearby restaurant, Lin Chi quickly turned the joystick to the right and finally returned to the street.

    "Can you drive a car at all?" Overlord asked gruffly.

    Lin Chi was too lazy to quarrel with each other, but stared at the side of the car with furrowed brows, the growing shadow.

    Even if this locomotive does not have a rearview mirror, whether it is the roar of the street behind or the body with increasing turbulence, it shows a serious problem:

    "Huo Qubing" caught up.

    The heavy footsteps sounded like a death knell approaching. The Overlord returned to the trunk and took a look and shouted, "Hurry up, we are going to be f***ed!"

    Lin Chi exhausted all his strength and pulled the wooden joystick to the rear. The locomotive speeded up again, knocking the three robot doll guards blocking the road ahead, and flew in with his arm. The window was nailed through the back of the wooden chair beside Lin Chi''s shoulders.

    But at this time, Lin Chi didn''t have the time to care about such a small problem. He didn''t even notice that Own''s face began to bleed. He just stared intently at the empty street ahead, driving the locomotive that he had just started.

    Pedestrians on the street screamed and leaned against the wall, watching the dark "Mecha" chasing after the locomotive. Realizing that he couldn''t get rid of the boss in this way, Lin Chi shouted loudly: "You come to drive!"

    Hearing this, the overlord also rushed into the cab immediately and asked, "What are you doing?"

    "I will meet''Huo Qu Bing'' when I go."

    Lin Chi used his left hand to pull out the heavy saber and walked back to the wooden house on the back of the car with the big knife.

    He had just returned to the car body, and the big hand made of black iron had already roughly torn the roof above the car body, tore off the roof and threw it aside!

    Lin Chi''s sight suddenly "opened up", and saw the black and red iron-clad giant rushing at almost the same speed as the locomotive.

    A pale-skinned young man is standing on top of the "humanoid mecha", his feet seem to have taken roots, stepping on the neck of the headless giant and staying still. The long hair stuck behind his head follows. The wind keeps swaying.

    This person is handsome, with a bit of heroism between his eyebrows, and the shining silver armor on his body creates a sharp contrast with the dark giant at his feet.

    Under Lin Chi''s gaze, the young man slowly raised the halberd in his right hand, pointed at Lin Chi''s head condescendingly, and made a sound with its own "subwoofer" effect:

    "General Huo Qubing is here."

    Seeing the other party''s serious appearance, Lin Chi smiled, laboriously raised the heavy saber knife, stuck the hilt above the Demon Slayer''s hand armor, and said loudly:

    "It''s nothing more than an agency doll, how dare you presumptuously in front of Li Guang, my''flying general''?"

    As soon as the words came out, the body of the locomotive almost lost its balance. Lin Chi ignored the reaction of the "Overlord" who was driving, just raised his right hand, pointed the saber on Huo Qubing''s body, and shouted. :

    "Try the Flying Sword of the Parachutist!"

    Before he finished his words, he had already pressed the Hidden Blade''s pop-up switch, and the moment the Hidden Blade on the Demon Tu¡¯s Armor popped out, the heavy saber was turned into a silver light, and it blasted towards Huo Qubing like a bullet!

    ¡ª¡ªHe had noticed before that the "catapult" of the Hidden Blade on the Demon Slaughter Armor is very powerful, and may be used to launch other things.

    However, the strength of this thing was so great that it was completely beyond Lin Chi''s expectation.

    clang!

    The brittle sound of the swords connected together with the sparks that erupted above the dark giant''s head.

    Huo Qubing waved his halberd and fended off the saber flying towards him, but the figure of the dark iron giant at his feet also suddenly stagnated, and his speed suddenly decreased.

    It''s a bit slow.

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, the locomotive finally opened the distance from the giant, turned a corner and escaped from the chase of the "general"!

    Seeing that the heavy puppet had been thrown away, Lin Chi finally breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the cab, and patted the Overlord¡¯s shoulder with his hand:

    "It''s safe."

    "Don''t be nonsense next time, I almost laughed daddy to death just now." The Overlord said in a rough voice, apparently still worried about Lin Chi''s claim just now.

    While the two were talking, the twenty-minute countdown to the big hunt finally came to an end.

    As the almost one-sided massacre came to an end, the doll guards on the street suddenly lost their goal of pursuing and killing, and returned to their original patrol positions, directly ignoring those who were galloping down the street. A locomotive with no roof.

    "It seems safe..." Lin Chi smiled.

    "Yes." The Overlord said as he parked the locomotive on the side of the road, turned his head and looked at the "partner" beside him, his expression suddenly gloomy.

    Then, the heroic and heavy armored warrior lowered his head, with a slightly dangerous voice in his voice:

    "It''s a Death competition anyway, should we deal with ¡®private grievances¡¯ now?"

 Chapter 89

    "The first big hunt is over, the number of deaths: 45, I wish you all a happy game."

    The announcement symbolizing entering a safe state lit up in the field of vision, but standing between the two people in the street square was still tense and frightened, and the surrounding passers-by were hiding far away.

    "You want to fight me here?"

    Lin Chi said, looking around, and looked at the black-robed dolls that were surrounding him: "These dolls will kill us."

    ¡ª¡ªThe equipment on his body is not suitable for fighting heavy armored fighters. In the process of fleeing just now, Lin Chi also saw the terrifying combat effectiveness of the "Overlord".

    Lin Chi knew that if he started the fight now, his chances of winning would undoubtedly be very low. Even if he kills the opponent, he will be hunted down by the organ doll again!

    So now, he also decisively chose "peace talks", but the Overlord obviously did not intend to let him go easily.

    "I know you are dangerous, kid."

    The Overlord squeezed the handle of the heavy bronze hammer and stared at Lin Chi''s face without blinking, "I won''t let you go!"

    Hearing this, Lin Chi did not draw out his weapon, but only retreated two steps a little. He smiled and said, "I was also a partner just now, so why not just stay here?"

    "Don''t talk nonsense..." The Overlord said that he was about to swing his hammer over, but he saw Lin Chi still standing in place, without any intention to dodge.

    "You really want to do this?" Lin Chi showed a "kind" smile.

    The overlord''s movements stopped.

    If it is facing other players, he has already started. But in Bawang¡¯s view, it is impossible to have only this strength in successfully killing Frankenstein¡¯s "reverse current"...

    ¡ª¡ªIt seems that the other party has a hidden killer?

    "Do you want to do it?" Lin Chi said, spreading his hands in a nonchalant posture: "Are you mentally prepared?"

    "..."

    Seeing that the other party was unusually calm and confident, the Overlord was silent for a moment, then stepped back slowly, and whispered:

    "I will ask you to settle the account next time."

    Watching the figure of the sturdy man disappear at the corner of the street, Lin Chi reached out and grabbed his hair, then...recovered his usual listless appearance.

    "Daddy is scared to death." He murmured.

    ¡ª¡ªActually, just now he was really playing mystery. After all, the opponent was wearing heavy armor, and even the armor of the puppet master could not cause substantial damage to that guy.

    Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.

    If "Overlord" can be as hard as his name, with that guy''s super physical attributes, it is estimated that he would have been killed long ago!

    Thinking of this, Lin Chi laughed, turned and walked into a tavern on the street nearby, and began to think about the next action strategy.

    Unlike the situation in the City of Chaos, the rules of the game in the Institution City are obviously not suitable for PVP.

    Just the first hunt, nearly half of the players have left the field, and without exception, they all died at the hands of NPCs.

    It is undoubtedly very difficult to win seven heads in the next game. To win this game, there should be no way to complete the "murder" winning conditions like last time.

    In other words, now there are two options for winning, "Raiders" and "rulers".

    "Um¡­¡­"

    Putting his hands on the damp wooden table exuding alcohol, and staring at the unknowingly named cup of brown liquid on the table, Lin Chi fell into deep thought.

    He knew that to complete the winning conditions of these two PVEs, a lot of money was first needed.

    I only have more than 4,000 yuan, and I can''t even buy a weapon. With this little money alone, it should be impossible to hire any reliable subordinates.

    "As a result, do I need to make money in the game..." Lin Chi sighed, a pain in his heart spontaneously.

    ¡ª¡ªAs an "old salted fish" with an empty heart, he has no ideal of becoming a rich man at all. In the real world, he is basically in a life state of "as long as he doesn''t die from starvation".

    In the process of playing the game, he is not interested in making money, but in siege the city and observe various AIs in the game. But now...

    Just as Lin Chi was thinking about where to make money with a sad face, a bald man sitting at the table next to him approached and said mysteriously:

    "Friend, I heard what you said, you are short of money right now?"

    "Is there anything wrong?" Lin Chi looked up at the other party''s shiny head, and didn''t see a prompt showing a special or hero-level NPC.

    ¡ª¡ªCould it be the NPC used to trigger the task? But I did not receive a new task...

    I just thought of this, only to hear that the bald head has spoken again: "I have a good job here, and you can make a lot of money!"

    "Oh, what''s the job?" Lin Chi suddenly became interested.

    He was about to ask the other party about the specific content of the "good job" when he heard the tavern owner standing behind the bar cough impatiently: "Spider, stop talking nonsense in my shop!"

    "Okay, okay..." The bald man called "Spider" stood up and winked at Lin Chi, "Let''s go outside and talk."

    Lin Chi also got up and prepared to leave. When he turned around, he glanced at the tavernkeeper, and saw that the middle-aged man frowned and looked depressed.

    Could it be that¡­¡­

    Looking around and taking a look at the inside of the tavern with few customers, Lin Chi didn''t say much, just opened the wooden door and returned to the street.

    The bald man greeted him with a sly smile on his face: "Friend, I am a mercenary. Currently our team is recruiting mercenaries. Do you want to come here?"

    "Is it quick to make money?" Lin Chi asked.

    "Of course." The spider replied decisively: "Basically it is simple work that teaches street gangsters. It''s easy, trust me!"

    "Oh."

    Lin Chi nodded: "Take me to see it."

    "No problem, come with me!"

    Seeing him respond easily, the spider smiled at this moment and walked quickly to the west along the sidewalk.

    Looking at the other person''s back in a rag shirt, Lin Chi didn''t say much, but raised the corners of his mouth meaningfully, with a dangerous smile on his face:

    ¡ª¡ªThis b*****d is obviously fooling himself, trying to fool himself somewhere.

    So, who is the chief ambassador hiding behind the scenes?

    If it were in the real world, Lin Chi would certainly not be able to follow. But now he speeded up his pace and followed behind the bald man.

    ¡ª¡ªSince the other party intends to deceive oneself, then simply use the plan to see what the other party has in mind.

    "Friend, you are looking for the right person!" The spider smiled without looking back: "Just follow me, you will regret it if you don''t come!"

    Hearing this standard scammer''s speech, Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and stared at the other person''s back:

    "I don''t care, as long as you don''t regret it."

 Chapter 90 The Exiled Institution Teacher

    Twenty minutes later, Lin Chi followed the "spider" walking in front to the urban area on the west side of the organ city.

    What you see is a huge but simple castle:

    The architectural structure here is extremely complex, almost connecting a large number of low houses into a huge "maze". There are many citizens in the city who are wearing simple cloth shirts and not very good looking, walking around in a hurry, looking like slums that have been transformed.

    "Your mercenary group is here?"

    Lin Chi looked around while speaking, looking at the stone slab blocking the passage and the spiral staircase.

    Even as a player, he has the convenient privilege of "small map". The criss-cross terrain of this city is really too complicated.

    ¡ª¡ªThe roof of a house has become a bridge connecting two houses next to it. The beams of the inn in front of the slope were directly hollowed out and transformed into the chimney of the house below...

    For Lu Chi, the architectural structure here has reached the point of being anti-human. Even if Lin Chi is not Lu Chi, he still feels dizzy.

    "Yeah, the mercenary group is down here!" The spider walked through the twisted dark alleys, walked straight down the stone steps, and walked towards an underground house.

    Following the bald man, walking down the long stone steps, as the light around him became dim, Lin Chi also slightly increased his vigilance:

    "Are there no guards around here?" he asked casually.

    On the way when he came, he noticed that in this area, there did not seem to be an organ doll wearing a black robe and holding a saber. Some pedestrians on the street are also blatantly wearing cold weapons such as swords.

    "This is''Xiacheng District'', nobody cares about it!" Spider smiled: "Man, are you new here?"

    "I really just arrived, the city is still divided up and down?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

    "To be exact, it''s''upper, middle and lower'', my friend." Spider answered his question very interestingly: "Shangcheng District is where the high-ranking officials live, and the Midtown District is where we drank just now. As for the Xiacheng District... Of course it is here!"

    "I understand." Lin Chi nodded.

    In this way, even though "technology" is already well developed, the city still follows the feudal society''s rules: people are divided into three, six or nine grades according to their origins, and they can only live in areas that fit their own identities.

    While talking, Lin Chi had already followed the spider into the humid and sultry "dungeon".

    What appeared in my sight was an underground building divided into several pieces by cyan stone walls. Dilapidated oil lamps were hung on the walls, and the wet floor was also made of rock. It felt smooth when stepped on.

    The route here is not particularly complicated. Compared to the "maze" where the cards are not played according to common sense, it is already very simple-the bald man only turned three turns and stood in front of a black iron gate. , Pressed the red button on the wall next to the door.

    "I''m back!" the spider shouted.

    Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

    There was no answer from the room, but the iron door slowly opened to the inside.

    "Come in." The spider said and strode in.

    "..."

    Realizing that he was stepping into a trap, Lin Chi didn''t say much, just put his hands behind his back in a certain form, and silently pressed the index finger of his right hand on the ring of his left hand.

    As an epic equipment, the Puppet Master¡¯s Armor will automatically stagger the position of the user¡¯s limbs and head when attacking, under the control of the built-in micro Feng Shui engine, to avoid the tragedy of directly hacking the owner.

    In other words, no matter where Lin Chi''s arms were placed, he would not be hit by the blade ejected from the armor.

    Walking into the sultry secret room, he looked around and saw that this square stone house was cluttered with a lot of clutter. Nine round stone pillars from the top to the ceiling obscured Own''s vision.

    In the wall facing the door, several irregular holes were cut, and flames were burning inside. It looks like--

    "incinerator?"

    Before Lin Chi''s words came to an end, he suddenly found that the "spider" who had just led him into the door had disappeared.

    Despite this, he didn''t panic, he just smiled and glanced back at the black iron gate behind him.

    boom!

    Under Lin Chi''s gaze, the black iron gate suddenly closed heavily. I was completely shut in the sultry secret room!

    Then, he heard a faint "click" on the pitch-black ceiling above his head.

    The field of vision was suddenly occupied by a piece of white, and what followed was a face with pale complexion, staring scarlet eyes, opening a big mouth full of fangs, and showing a creepy smile at Lin Chi!

    A pale figure hung upside down in front of Lin Chi, opening the "ribs" on his chest like an octopus, trying to clamp Lin Chi''s body.

    However, Lin Chi''s reaction was obviously faster than that of the doll:

    He waved his right hand sharply, threw out a sharp Hidden Blade, and chopped off the opponent''s scary head before the doll grabbed him. Then, as if he had eyes on his back, he raised his hand and stab backward without looking back!

    Click!

    The blade of the Demon Tu¡¯s hand armor ruthlessly pierced the chest of the other hanging doll behind him, swiped it directly down, cut the thing in half, and fell to the ground feebly.

    "Next time you want to kill, it''s best to put out the fire in the stove." Lin Chi laughed.

    Before he could finish his words, he heard a frightening intensive tapping sound, like someone tapping a slate with a wooden cane.

    With terrifying voices from all directions, ten horrible dolls with thin, tall, pale skin and exposed bones all crawled out from behind the stone pillars at the same time, blocking Lin Chi''s retreat!

    Then, an old male voice came from diagonally forward, just listening to the voice, as if you could feel the evil aura of the speaker:

    "Boy...you are pretty good, you can definitely become a good ¡®material¡¯."

    "Do you use living people to make dolls?" Lin Chi said, raising his hands in a posture of surrender.

    ¡ª¡ªLin Chi thought of this possibility when he discovered that the doll guard in the organ city "has" a rotting head. Now it seems that my original guess has become a reality...

    "With ready-made materials, why do we bother to build the body of the organ doll?" The old man giggled, with a "childlike heart" posture: "It''s useless to rely on your sword. You are aware of it, too."

    "Yes." Lin Chi nodded, letting ten organ dolls approach him.

    When one of the dolls opened their chest ribs and grabbed his body, the old man''s triumphant laughter suddenly stopped!

    The cold silver light flashed in the air, like cold moonlight, leaving no trace.

    At that moment, the ten organ dolls around Lin Chi suddenly froze.

    Two seconds later, they were cut into thousands of pieces, unable to maintain their balance, and crackled to pieces.

    "What did you do..." The old man''s voice was mixed with panic and anger: "You ruined my workshop!"

    Hearing this, Lin Chi strode forward, swung a sword when he passed a stone pillar, and directly chopped off the head of the bald man who had brought him.

    Although the "Spider" had its head beheaded, it still stood in place. There was no trace of blood left at the fracture of the neck, but it spewed out the white wine that had just been drunk...

    "Sure enough, is it an agency doll?"

    Lin Chi smiled, walked towards the place where the sound was made, and directly tore off the "wallpaper" disguised as a stone wall, reached out and grabbed the shriveled old man hiding inside, and threw the guy on the floor in front of him.

    "You are here to harm people?" Lin Chi squinted at the "mouse" curled up under his feet.

    Without the protection of the puppet, this guy completely lost his combat effectiveness. Looking at the trembling poor insect, Lin Chi was about to swing his sword to give the old man a joy, but a line of reminder text suddenly popped up in front of him.

    The exiled organist¡ª¡ª? ? ? , Special NPC, can be recruited (tasks need to be completed).

 Chapter 91 Loyal Items

    Unexpectedly, Lin Chi, who would meet a special NPC here, stared down at the old man who fell on the ground:

    The old man''s height was not more than 1.5 meters, and he looked pitiful when he was bent over. The rough skin was covered with deep wrinkles like gullies, and he was at least 90 years old by visual inspection.

    "Uh¡­¡­"

    The old man who had just been picked out by Lin Chi grumbled something in pain, and suddenly raised his right hand, but it was too late to "release the skill". The dark red walking stick in his hand had been cut off by the sword of the Demon Slayer''s hand armor!

    Before the old man continued to resist, Lin Chi had already put his sword on the opponent''s neck and threatened in a low voice, "Be honest."

    "b*****d stuff..."

    The old man was still screaming, but he also curled up obediently, not daring to make any more movements.

    "If I see your other organ dolls appear, I will chop off your head." Lin Chi looked around and looked at the dimly lit secret room: "It''s better not to count on me."

    Hearing this, the old man murmured again, and his right hand trembled.

    After hearing a crash, the ten pale white puppets hidden in the corner fell apart and collapsed weakly to the ground.

    "I have surrendered!" the old man muttered, "Spare my life..."

    Seeing the other person''s spineless begging for mercy, Lin Chi did not remove Jian Feng, but suddenly asked:

    "Are you tricking some alcoholics to come here and use their bodies to make organ dolls?"

    The old man nodded in frustration, sat up, put his hands behind his head, and assumed a standard surrender posture: "Yes, I am studying dolls here, don''t kill me..."

    Although the other party didn''t leave his life in three words, Lin Chi didn''t mean to let this guy go, but just continued to ask slowly:

    "What''s your name?"

    Although the old man wanted to kill himself, he was a special NPC anyway, so it was a pity to kill him.

    "Underneath is Shen Wenchong." The old man immediately said: "The name Tai Xuan is from Maoshan Taoist Temple."

    "The Taoist still studies organ techniques, isn''t it good to cultivate Immortal Ascension?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

    "You don''t understand that Maoshan Taoist Academy is all old and stubborn, and has been out of touch with the times.

    Compared with the very inefficient cultivation in this era, it is better to study organ techniques.

    As long as you change your body into an adult, you can live forever? Speaking of own profession, Shen Wenchong also became interested, and for a moment he forgot to ask for mercy.

    "This is also an idea..." Lin Chi nodded.

    In fact, the "uploading of human consciousness to the Internet" that scientists in the real world are studying is basically the same as the old man''s research direction. It also uses machinery to make people achieve immortality.

    Even if the science and technology tree is crooked, the research direction is still the same, so to speak...

    "History is always surprisingly similar."

    Lin Chi smiled and removed the blade on the old man''s neck: "It seems that your research has failed."

    As soon as the words came out, the old man stood up immediately unconvinced and retorted loudly, "Not yet!"

    "How many years can your bones live?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and stared at the other''s old face.

    Stolen novel; please report.

    "Don''t look at my old age, many parts in this body have been replaced, and I can live for at least fifty years." The old man patted his chest proudly: "I am a master of life extension!"

    "okay then."

    Standing in the dark secret room, Lin Chi looked around, stretched out his hand and patted the old man''s shoulder, and said with a smile:

    "I like your ability. If you want to survive, you will have to do things for me in the future."

    Lin Chi could see that even though this old man is not a good thing, his technology for making organ dolls is definitely top-notch.

    The bald man who tricked own in the tavern was almost fake, he couldn''t see that he was a puppet at all, and he was even more like a real person than the owner of the "Daily Flow Doll Shop".

    If it hadn''t been for inadvertently, seeing a piece of wood exposed under the man''s trouser legs, Lin Chi would have never thought that it would be an organ doll.

    If this old man can be brought under his command, his own combat power will undoubtedly be greatly Ascension!

    And now, Lin Chi has already thought of a way to convince this guy...

    "As long as I can save my life, let me do anything."

    Seeing a chance to survive, the old man immediately expressed his own loyalty. However, Lin Chi naturally wouldn''t believe this glib old fritters so easily, he just winked at that guy:

    "Come with me, if you dare to act rashly, I will blow your head."

    Under Lin Chi''s "escort", the old man reluctantly left his murder studio, and walked out staggeringly.

    Although Lin Chi had put away the Hidden Blade, the deterrent power of his armor just now was so great that the old man didn''t dare to act rashly for a while, and could only move on with Lin Chi.

    The two left the intricate, labyrinth-like Xiacheng District, and returned to the puppet shop where there is no water flow.

    As soon as Lin Chi opened the door, he saw the exiled shop manager packing his parcel in the house, as if he was about to leave:

    "Ah... have you come, have you found my "father"?" While asking questions, the store manager looked at the old man behind Lin Chi: "Who is this thief?"

    "Do you dare to comment on me?" The old man snorted unconvinced.

    "How did you tell?"

    Realizing that the other party had seen through own identity in an instant, the store manager stopped the action at hand, and the expression on his face suddenly became complicated: "Want to die?"

    "Wait a minute, don''t quarrel." Lin Chi smiled and stood in between the two.

    "This old man is my new partner. I need you to help me build a''collar'', similar to the puppet master''s armor, you know." Lin Chi said and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

    Hearing his words, the smart beautiful woman puppet immediately understood what he meant: "You want to control him?"

    "Yes."

    Lin Chi suddenly activated the Hidden Blade, pressing the throat of the old man who was about to turn around and run: "Don''t even want to run, jerk."

    ¡ª¡ªIn the face of such insidious and cunning, guys who may betray at any time, naturally they have to take special measures. The shopkeeper who built the armor of the puppet master should be able to make similar things.

    "Ha, you just came here, I happen to have one left here. This is a bestseller, and many female customers buy it and give it to her husband as a gift."

    As the shop owner said, he pulled out a brass collar from under the counter, stuffed it into Lin Chi''s left hand, took out a brown wood ring similar to the ring that controlled the armor in his hand, and placed it on the counter.

    "I am about to leave the Institution City, so I will treat it as a farewell gift. Anyway, I will be taken away by the ¡®doll house¡¯ if I stay here anyway."

    "Well, thank you then."

    Lin Chi felt the weight of the metal collar in his left hand, and the text of the item introduction popped out in due course:

    The collar of the puppet master.

    Special props.

    Item level: Sophisticated.

    Special requirement: Can only be used on NPC.

    The special props created by the manager of the Broken Flow Doll Shop will not be able to be taken off by the person wearing the collar. If you try to remove the collar or attack the holder of the ring, the blade hidden in the collar will automatically activate and cut. Lower the wearer¡¯s head.

    "Women''s heart, needles on the bottom of the sea.-Propaganda slogan for the Broken Flow Doll Shop."

    "Ha, this is not bad." Lin Chi smiled.

    Obviously, this item is similar to the "Dark Tower Warden''s Bracelet" in the previous map, but the control area is much smaller, and it can only control one NPC.

    But even so, for Lin Chi, such props were enough.

    He put the new ring on the little finger of his left hand, and saw the serrated blade on the inside of the collar suddenly retracted it back. Seeing this scene, Lin Chi handed the collar to the shivering old man, and smiled: "Put it on, ¡®friend¡¯?"

    "..."

    Looking at the ghost that could not be removed once it was worn, which meant that he would be a slave for his life, the old man''s hands trembled slightly, but under the threat of the sword''s edge, he still weakly took the collar and put it on his neck. superior.

    Click!

    With a crisp sound, the mechanism behind the collar snapped.

    "Don''t take off the ring, or he will die." The shop owner thoughtfully reminded him again: "In addition, if you want to kill him, just press the button on this ring."

    "You bastards, don''t you know how to respect the old man..." The old man tremblingly stroked the terror organ on his neck, his angry voice trembling slightly.

    "The murderer is embarrassed to demand respect?"

    Lin Chi shook the ring on his left hand in front of the old man, the expression on his face was very proud.

    ¡ª¡ªAlthough the method of recruitment is rather "strange", for Lin Chi, this old man is the first NPC he successfully recruited after entering the Institution City!

    "Follow me, it''s best not to run away, if you still want your head."

    Lin Chi laughed, turned and pushed open the door of the Shushuiliu doll shop.
