War Paradise

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?"

——After 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--

"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.

——Because 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.

——In 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.
