War Paradise

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.

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—

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.

——If 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:

——Obviously, 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.

——This 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.
