When Lin Chi and Frankenstein returned to the Blood Eagle Clan's residence, it was already dark.

There seemed to be a simple heating device in the cave, but the extreme cold, which was close to minus seventy, still penetrated into his skin through the protective clothing, making Lin Chi feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he hugged his arms tightly.

"It's cold in this place." He whispered.

Before the motorcycle lost power, Lin Chi still drove the steel chariot with super climbing performance, safely entered the cave, and then put down the camouflage net at the entrance of the cave, covering this already hidden cave.

On the night of Mars, when the temperature is extremely low, no one should be wandering outside, so the territory of the Blood Eagle tribe has become a temporary safe house, and there is no need to worry about the enemy for the time being.

It's just that the temperature here ...... It's a little too anti-human.

"Burn fuel." Frankenstein said, standing in front of the oil drum in the corner of the cavern.

"Don't be funny, we'll suffocate if we burn here." Lin Chi shook his head.

"I forgot that humans need to breathe." Frankenstein gave up his original plan, sat down on the stone slab in the corner of the cavern, and said tremblingly, "It's cold. ”

The temperature in the cave is now completely out of the control of the player's protection system, and even the player's virtual body will be significantly affected.

- So, how did the people of the Blood Eagle tribe survive?

Looking at the corpses piled up in the cave, Lin Chi couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and then noticed that the two spacesuits that he and Frankenstein had taken off before were still placed in front of the Blood Eagle Clan's closet.

"Let's change into a spacesuit." Lin Chi immediately made a judgment: "At least you won't freeze to death this way." ”

At this temperature, as long as they take off the protective clothing, they are afraid that they will freeze to death immediately, and the two can only put on spacesuits outside while wearing protective clothing, and completely wrap their bodies into bloated zongzi.

Although it is not very beautiful, the most important thing now is to survive in this hellish place, no one will pay attention to the problem of appearance in Mars, and survival is the only purpose of people.

Although the two of them were about to freeze to death, the pigs and rats in the cage were still very happy, and it seemed that these strange animals were more adapted to the Martian environment than humans, and they were still arching around in the cage, looking active.

The heavy spacesuit, while isolating the air conditioning, also isolated the sound of the outside world, Lin Chi and Frankenstein turned on the radio, sat on the stone slab in the corner of the cave, and chatted without a word:

"Will Lin Chi be like a human?" Frankenstein asked.

"What do you mean?" Lin Chi frowned and looked at the other party's face through the double-faced mask: "I was originally a human being. ”

"Marry and have children, and reproduce." Frankenstein explained.

“…… I'll go. ”

Hearing this topic, Lin Chi was also a little speechless for a while, and asked rhetorically: "Why are you the same as my relatives?" Still urging this every day? ”

"No, but humans are social animals." Frankenstein's scarlet eyes looked at Lin Chi without blinking: "According to the information I know, this is so." ”

"That's true, but I don't think there's anything wrong with living alone." Speaking of this, Lin Chi showed a malicious smile on his face: "Moreover, isn't there still a 'virtuous wife' in my family?" How can it be considered a single life? ”

"I'm not your wife." Frankenstein said it seriously.

"Hah, I'm just kidding." Lin Chi raised his head and looked at the stone wall on the top of the cave that was shrouded in shadows.

He has always had a sense of reality in the virtual world even more than in the real world. Although it is not like some avid gamers, who have almost completely abandoned the real world and indulged in brain-imaging games every day. But there is also a growing trend in the amount of time he spends in the virtual world.

In addition to "Sword Blade" and "War Paradise", Lin Chi is also playing several other games, earning his own living expenses in the game, which is also one of the tasks of professional gamers.

Although when playing those games, it's just a routine. However, the degree of immersion of the brain imaging game is naturally not comparable to the games of the past.

- As long as you enter the virtual world, you will be affected by that world. As for the degree of impact, it depends on how realistic that game is.

Lin Chi, who has never been interested in the real world, also knows very well that he seems to be being more and more deeply affected by "War Paradise", but there is nothing wrong with this......

Thinking of this, he casually asked, "What about you?" What are you going to do? ”

Lin Chi knew that contrary to himself who wanted to take risks in the virtual world, Frankenstein's goal seemed to be "becoming human", and he didn't know why this AI had this idea, but the other party must have his own reasons.

"I want to have a body." Frankenstein replied without hesitation, and there was no confusion in his voice.

"The human body? It's very fragile, that's why humans develop artificial organs. Lin Chi looked at the "person" beside him.

"I know, but I want it anyway." Frankenstein stretched out his right hand, wrapped in two layers of protection, and pressed it against his chest. Then say a line that sounds literary:

"The body is proof of survival."

"I think consciousness is the proof of being alive, what is the difference between a walking dead without self-awareness and a robot?" Lin Chi raised his eyebrows.

"We think differently." Frankenstein didn't want to argue, just looked down at the nearby corpses: "I'm going to sleep." ”

Before the words fell, this AI, who didn't need to sleep at all, had already fallen on the stone slab and snored, seeing this guy's appearance, Lin Chi sighed helplessly:

"It's all said that you don't need to imitate me in this regard......"

As he spoke, he collapsed on the slate, his consciousness falling into the dreamless sleep that is common in imaging games in his brain.

……

Early the next morning, before the oxygen supply equipment of the protective suit stopped working, Lin Chi woke up on time.

A day on Mars is about 40 minutes longer than Earth's. But that's not what woke Lin up sooner or later, he was woken up by the radio equipment of the hazmat suit, a damn radio station received:

"Hello bugs, this is the God of War radio station broadcasting all of Mars! How many people froze to death last night? I guess there are a lot of carcasses going to be food for pigs and rats! ”

"Damn, is this radio station compulsory?" Lin Chi said angrily.

He tried to tune to a different band, and the host's voice was full of mockery, but it was still very clear, as if he was making a straightforward mockery of Lin Chi's useless behavior:

"The song we're bringing to you today is Let-It-Burn from Avatar! What else is there to say? Let the world burn! ”

Lin Chi had to admit that although he was very uninterested in this anchor, the songs chosen by the other party were very appetizing to him. He was listening to metal music when Frankenstein sat up next to him.

It seems that the Martian Ruins map does not have a full-band scan on day one like other maps, but gives players some time to get used to the Martian environment first. And then......

"It's about to start today." Lin Chi said to the Frankenstein next to him.

In order not to make it impossible for players to find enemies, every map in Paradise of War has the mechanic of forcibly dragging players into battle, and this is certainly no exception.

So, what will be the reason for the war this time?

Lin Chi was thinking about it, the music in his ears stopped abruptly, and the voice of the male anchor of the radio station sounded again, with a little excitement in his voice:

"I said, have you heard? The Wolf Tribe has challenged the other tribes! ”

- What does this mean? Could it be a signal for battle?

Lin Chi, who noticed something strange, narrowed his eyes and continued to listen to the anchor:

"One of the most powerful tribes of Mars, the Wolf Clan, is now challenging the other tribes on the highest mountain in the solar system! If a clan can take the banner, they can gain control of the wolf clan! ”

"What is the tallest mountain in the solar system?" Lin Chi muttered.

No sooner had he finished his sentence than Frankenstein had already given the answer in a cold voice:

"The Olympus volcano, located on Mars, is the highest volcano in the solar system, with a diameter of 600 kilometers at the bottom, a height of more than 27 kilometers, an average height of 22 kilometers, and a crater with a diameter of 80 kilometers and a depth of about 3 kilometers."

"You know a lot...... Lin Chi nodded approvingly.

"Collecting data is my specialty." Frankenstein said seriously. At this time, the anchor has already begun to announce the rules of the challenge:

"Although most people know about it, the group of people who were just thrown here may not know it very well, so I'll explain it again: the so-called 'tribal challenge' is the normal way of the duel between the Martian tribes!"

"Everyone is just trying to survive, and if there is no deep hatred, they will not slaughter other tribes. Clan Challenge is the way to let the various clans compete without bloody slaughter! ”

"Participation in the Tribal Challenge is not mandatory, each clan can choose whether to participate or not, and if they do, the clan needs to send a minimum of one and a maximum of ten warriors to compete in an area!"

"The warriors of the clan will carry the banner of their own clan, and once the warriors sent out are annihilated by the other tribes, their banners will fall into the hands of the other tribes, and the tribe that obtains the banner will gain control of the tribe that has captured the flag! That's the Martian rule! ”

"Clan members who want to participate in this challenge, please get to the camp at the foot of Mount Olympus in three days, get ready, the wolf clan is provoking you all, give them some color!"

After introducing the rules, the anchor's voice disappeared, and the "God of War Radio", which could not be turned off, suddenly disappeared.

After listening to the rules that the other party said, Lin Chi immediately understood the rules of this so-called "tribal challenge", and said with a smile: "So is it the capture the flag mode......

Capture the Flag mode is actually a common mode in old-school PVP games, much earlier than Battle Royale, but in Paradise of War, this mode seems to be rarely present. But in the Martian Ruins map, the long-lost Capture the Flag mode has finally revealed its true form.

"Yes." Frankenstein agrees.

As they were talking, a task prompt suddenly appeared in the eyes of the two:

Start Mission: Tribal Challenge.

The Wolf Tribe is challenging Mount Olympus to defeat them.

Quest Reward: An entourage that can be taken out of the map (one for each party member, even if the winning conditions are not completed).

……

Seeing the mission prompt this time, Lin Chi immediately realized that the "forced battle" in this map was undoubtedly this so-called tribal challenge!

For many players who have never won at all, the attraction of the retinue is certainly enormous. After all, most of the players have no subordinates at all, except for the three expansion pack followers officially sold.

Although the strength of the three ministries officially sold is not bad, for players who like to pursue differences, having their own unique retinues is definitely more attractive than bringing those "big road goods".

Now, if you can win the Clan Challenge, you can ignore the conditions and get a permanent follower. For many players, the attraction of this quest reward is probably even greater than that of Legendary gear!

Needless to say, on the side of Mount Olympus, there will definitely be a bloody storm......

"Do you want to participate?" Frankenstein asked coldly.

"Do you need to talk about that?" Lin Chi smiled: "Of course I want to participate." ”

Capture the flag on the highest mountain in the solar system is very emotional when you think about it. Lin Chi naturally would not miss the opportunity to participate in this kind of battle.

However, when it comes to the retinue, a new question arises:

"Can't you bring in an entourage on this map?"

- Unlike the other maps, when they entered this map, they didn't see any trace of their followers. And the "Sword Emperor" team encountered in the cave also did not carry any retinue.

Did the retinue not come, or were they waiting for their master somewhere, as they did in the "Iron Curtain Field", which was also a Squad deathmatch map?

Thinking of this question, Lin Chi suddenly realized something, and asked Frankenstein who was taking off his spacesuit next to him: "I remember that you were able to win every game at that time, right?" ”

"I cheated." Frankenstein's voice remains flat.

"What other roles do your subordinates have besides 'Gray Fox'?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

"I have twenty-five retinues." Frankenstein reports a whole bunch of names: "Orlan, Leon, Blazer, Hanzo, Alex, ......"

"I'll go ......" Lin Chi's eyes widened in surprise: "So many?" ”

"I cheated." Frankenstein takes off his spacesuit, revealing the hazmat suit underneath: "But I'm not going to cheat again this time." ”

"By the way, did you see the retinue on this map?" Lin Chi continued to ask.

"Nope." Frankenstein shook his head.

- So, is this map incapable of carrying followers, or is it ......

"Let's go find out." Lin Chi said and put the spacesuit helmet on the stone slab.
