War Paradise

Following the address provided by Shen Wenchong, Lin Chi quickly traversed the streets of Xiacheng District and saw a small house cast from black rock standing in the corner of Xiacheng District.

Lin Chi stood in front of the hut, knocked three times rhythmically on the carved wooden door that was inconsistent with the style of the slum, and asked, "Is anyone there?"

Thirty seconds later, the door slowly opened inward.

Lin Chi walked into the room, and a bitter cold came on his face. The temperature in this room was lower than that of the street outside, and the neatly arranged spine of the bookshelves leaning against the wall were hung with a little icy ballast.

He looked around confusedly, and soon noticed a pair of white calves in the gap between the side of the bookshelf and the wall.

"Hello." Lin Chi said tentatively.

"Hello." A cold female voice floated from the corner.

Lin Chi walked over quickly and stared at the intelligence merchant sitting in the corner of the room.

The first thing that catches the eye is a short green skirt and a white pullover that she wears outside. A girl with short hair and ears is sitting on a wooden chair, looking at Lin Chi with expressionless face, and her age should not be determined visually. Over eighteen years old.

Although this person’s clothing looks like an ancient style, the exposed legs are obviously “indecent” in this era. After noticing the faint lines on the girl’s calf, Lin Chi immediately understood why the other party lived in this way. In the cold room:

"Organization doll?"

"Yes."

Under the neat bangs, the godless eyes met Lin Chi, the girl's voice was colder than the temperature in the room, as if the attribute of "feeling" had not been set.

Maybe this is the organ doll from the early stage?

Just when Lin Chi thought of this, the introduction of this NPC appeared in his sight:

"Cold Intelligence Merchant", special NPC, cannot be recruited (for testing purposes).

At the same time, under his field of vision, an empty black frame progress bar appeared.

Lin Chi was wondering what the progress bar was for, so he saw a few lines of thoughtful prompts popped up by the game system, and answered his question:

"You met a special NPC with a ‘favorite degree’!"

"Through Ascension, she can get information and other rewards more easily through her favorability for you. When her favorability rises to the highest, a special plot event will be triggered."

"Please note that the system is still in the testing phase, please bear any consequences that may occur."

——There is such a setting?

Seeing this prompt, Lin Chi was stunned for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth, showing a smile.

It is the first time that he has seen this kind of settings similar to GALGAME in an in-brain imaging game. After all, the GALGAME set is not suitable for use in this kind of realistic game, and few manufacturers will set it up. Set something like "favorite degree".

Although attributes such as reputation value are still used by many games, it is also through completing tasks to Ascension. Today, this kind of favorability that rises and falls through dialogue has disappeared in brain imaging games.

In this way, "War Paradise" can be regarded as opening up a new Realm...

Thinking of this, Lin Chi bowed politely and smiled: "Looking up to the name for a long time, I'm here to inquire about information."

After finishing speaking, the girl did not make a move, and her face was still expressionless, but the green progress bar under Lin Chi's sight rose slightly:

Favorability +20. Current favorability: 30.

"What kind of information is needed?" The girl lowered her head and asked, the delicate face made by the engineer, like a beautiful porcelain doll.

Seeing the ascending favorability, Lin Chi followed the tide and immediately asked: "I heard that there is a secret organization in the agency city, and now I need information about this organization."

When speaking, he rolled up the sleeve of his right arm, revealing the dark armband tied to his arm: "They may be using this weapon."

The girl looked up at the "Devil Slayer Handguard" installed on Lin Chi's arm. After ten seconds of silence, she said:

"Twenty thousand gold coins."

"This information needs 20,000 yuan?" The polite smile on Lin Chi's face disappeared.

"Yes." The girl replied.

"Is it too expensive?" Lin Chi shook his head.

He couldn't even finish his words, the newly increased favorability was instantly cleared, and the progress bar that had just improved was not only cleared, but even a red strip was added backwards:

Favorability degree -50, current Favorability degree: -20.

As the favorability dropped to a negative number, the girl-like intelligence merchant quoted a new price: "Thirty thousand gold coins."

Hearing this, Lin Chi quickly understood that what affects the price of information sold by the other party. If you want to buy information at a low price, you must find a way to Ascension favorability.

"Well, do you need any help?"

Seeing that his favorability was too low, Lin Chi also decisively changed his mind and began to try to trigger the task from this special NPC.

If she can complete the task provided by her, the favorability of this NPC will undoubtedly be greatly Ascension.

Unfortunately, things are obviously not that simple.

"No need." The girl's answer was succinct and clear, and she didn't mean to post any tasks.

——In other words, is this NPC just a prop to test the "friendship system"?

Realizing this, Lin Chi's expression became more serious. After all, if this is the case, the hope of your Ascension favorability is obviously getting more and more faint...

"If you don't need information, please leave." The girl stretched out the small hand that had been hidden in the sleeve of the gown, and pointed to the icy wooden door.

After the favorability reached a negative number, she decisively ordered the eviction. But at this moment, Lin Chi suddenly thought of something:

"Why do you live in such a ghost place?" Lin Chi raised his eyebrows meaningfully, "Looking at your appearance, you don't look like a resident of Xiacheng."

"I don't know." The girl's voice was still flat, sitting motionless in the chair, like a sluggish puppet.

"I guess it might be related to an organization called'Dollhouse'?" Lin Chi asked tentatively.

—— Although Xiacheng is poor and chaotic, it is not within the jurisdiction of the guards. Even those bastards in the "doll house" shouldn't pay too much attention to this area where no one can afford dolls.

If this girl is also a special institution doll similar to the owner of a doll shop, besides being exiled from the city, she probably can only hide in this kind of place...

As soon as this was said, the organ doll girl did not speak, but silently nodded.

"So, what if I say that I am the enemy of the Dollhouse?" Lin Chi smiled.

After finishing speaking, his favorability increased by 10 points. Although it was still negative, the girl was no longer likely to draw a knife at any time.

"Really." The girl asked for the first time.

"Yes, I also killed some of their people." Lin Chi pointed to the armor on his arm: "Use this."

Even if it is an agency doll, the girl obviously wouldn't immediately believe his one-sided words, just asked again: "Can you prove it."

"You can ask the owner of the Shuanshuiliu doll shop." Lin Chi folded her arms: "She is also an agency doll who doesn't want to be restrained by others. With the network of intelligence merchants, she should be able to contact her? "

Upon hearing this, the girl nodded slightly, stood up and moved her frosted limbs, making a crackling sound.

She walked to the window, picked up the wooden microphone on the window sill, and whispered something to the microphone with the help of the "cobweb" communication system installed underground in the city.

Lin Chi only waited for less than a minute, only to see the progress bar below his sight, suddenly rising like a thermometer placed in boiling water, reaching a level that was almost full in an instant!

—— Favorability degree +1000, current Favorability degree: 990.

Seeing that the favorability level is about to be full, Lin Chi strikes while the iron is hot, and tells the girl who has just put down the microphone, his own proposal:

"I can also be regarded as the guy who has made enemies with the Dollhouse. If you can provide their information, I can destroy this organization and completely solve the trouble they have caused..."

Before he finished speaking, his favorability bar was finally full.

A strange light suddenly lit up in the godless eyes of the doll girl, and her thin body seemed to be trembling slightly. After blinking vigorously, she whispered, "Really?"

This time, the doll, who has been in a state of no emotion, showed some emotion for the first time.

——Is this the special plot triggered after the goodwill is full?

While thinking about it, Lin Chi nodded without hesitation:

"certainly."
