War Paradise

Chapter 22 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’s “impulse reaction” was killed by the player’s “backflow”!

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, but other players also disappeared, and did not chase and kill like before. Yourself.

At this time, the ten-minute countdown to the reward task was already nearing its end.

As the soldiers and other players all 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.

——His 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 beside 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.

“It’s okay.”

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? Now the army has stopped pursuing 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.

“Ok.”

Confirming that these two men would not join his 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 themselves. If the car is overturned 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 reward 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.

“I have done my best for 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’?”

——In brain imaging games, although gender cannot be adjusted when creating characters, some players with special hobbies will adjust their characters to look like monsters.

Such players who use non-human characters are called “humanoid monsters” 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 walked over slowly 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 had 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’.” The player said.
