War Paradise

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 fucked, 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:

"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.

——It 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."
