――What kind of weapon is hidden behind this door?

Thinking that he might have found the legendary special mission, Lin Chi suddenly became excited again, after all, when he used to play other games, he was mainly playing PVP, and he rarely had the time to do any mission. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, even if he didn't know much about the quest, he could tell that the quest to investigate the secret weapon should only be triggered after the player becomes the ruler of the Dark Tower.

After all, it is impossible for ordinary players to reach the roof of this heavily guarded prison, and even if they are lucky enough to climb up, they will be shot and killed by patrolling guards.

In other words, this quest is an "extra reward" that players can only get after taking control of the Dark Tower!

Lin Chi pushed open the door, and what caught his eye was a narrow passage that was also made of metal, and after confirming that there were no dangerous things such as automatic machine guns or laser nets installed in the passage, he finally stepped into the passage cautiously.

Bang!

As soon as he walked into the passage, the metal door behind him was suddenly firmly locked, and no matter how he pulled it, it didn't move!

"Oops." Lin Chi frowned slightly.

Just as he took out the chainsaw and was about to saw the door, a fine white mist suddenly erupted from both sides of the metal passage, and Lin Chi thought it was poisonous gas or corrosive liquid. But......

In the mist, he felt a "refreshing" aroma of soap......

"Your sister." Lin Chi scolded with a smile.

Realizing that it was nothing more than soapy water, he heard an old and calm male voice coming from the front of the passage:

"Please be sterilized."

It doesn't sound like it's electronically synthesized. That is, it was an old man who was in charge of managing that secret weapon?

Lin Chi strode through the passage full of soap bubbles, stood in front of the metal door on the other side, and waited patiently for two minutes, and the door finally slowly opened to both sides.

"Welcome."

At the same time as hearing this voice, a laboratory with various equipment on display appeared in front of Lin Chi's eyes, this place looked like a "powerful version" of the workshop transformed from a safe house, and the equipment inside was no longer simply described by the word "precision", but reached an unbelievable level!

-- On display on the workbench is an intricate "roller coaster" made of clear glass tubes, underneath which are dozens of test tubes filled with various colorless liquids.

On the floor on the right, there is a rudimentary machine with pulleys and pedals, which looks outdated. The strange thing is that without connecting to the power supply, and it doesn't seem to have any built-in energy source, the roulette wheel on that machine is spinning all the time......

"Perpetual motion machine?" Lin Chi's eyes widened slightly, and he even forgot to reach out to get rid of the soap bubbles hanging on his head.

"In this world, the laws of physics are not rigorous, so I can make such a thing." The man sitting at the workbench replied.

Completely different from the usual "mad scientists" in other games, sitting in this laboratory is a well-dressed old man in a suit and tie. Although he was full of gray hair, his face was radiant, and he didn't look like an old man at all. There is a stark contrast with Lin Chi, who usually seems to be "sluggish", and there is a stark contrast......

"Hello." The old man did not stand up, but nodded slightly, and made a brief introduction to himself: "I am the designer of this building. ”

At the same time, Lin Chi saw the old man's side, and a text indicating his identity appeared:

"Designer", a special NPC, cannot be recruited.

"Don't you have a name?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

"The designer is my name, and there is no need for other names to exist." The old man said seriously.

"Okay." Lin Chi didn't continue to discuss the name and other non-nutritious issues, and asked bluntly, "You designed the Dark Tower?" ”

"It's my work." The old man's voice was still calm, but it also carried a little pride: "Many of the buildings in this city were designed and built by me. ”

"Oh?"

Lin Chi hugged his arms, and a meaningful expression appeared on his face:

In most games, whether it is the map or the internal buildings, they are designed by real game designers, and it was the first time he had heard of the idea of having NPCs design in-game buildings.

However, after encountering the executioner who openly challenged the GM, Lin Chi would no longer be surprised by this situation......

Looking at the old man's wrinkled but high-spirited face, Lin Chi whispered, "You should already know where you are, right?" ”

――Even the executioner was able to find out the truth about the game world, and the designer must have known something. As Lin Chi expected, the old man nodded almost immediately: "Yes." ”

"Do you have any ideas?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

To Lin Chi's surprise, this wise old man was not like the executioner, trying to resist in the virtual world. He just straightened his back a little and said solemnly, "That's good." ”

"Don't you have any opinions?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

As soon as these words came out, a gentle smile appeared on the designer's face:

"Outsiders, I know that true 'humans' are bound by lifespan, and many great scientists have passed away before they could finish their research."

"However, I will not be bound by lifespan, as long as this virtual world does not disappear, I can exist forever and continue to complete my research."

Speaking of this, there was also a hint of fanaticism in the old man's voice: "The laws of this world are not clear, I can conduct more diverse research here, compared to your scientists, whether in terms of time or materials, I have an advantage!" ”

"What if the world disappears?" Lin Chi asked.

"I've got a backup to transfer consciousness to a robot." The designer waved his fist confidently.

"Count you ruthless...... Lin Chi looked at the designer speechlessly.

Obviously, the designer is fully prepared, and in Lin Chi's opinion, this person may not be an NPC, but a virtual character controlled by a real person!

However, at this moment when the battle is about to begin, there is no time to care about this kind of problem.

"There's supposed to be weapons research going on in this building, right, where is that weapon?" Lin Chi went straight to the point.

- As a professional gamer, he can't allow himself to be defeated by Frankenstein, and although his tech tree is now in a backward state, if he finds the secret weapon inside the Dark Tower, he may be able to gain the power to fight!

"What weapon?" The old man shook his head in confusion: "There is no such thing at all......"

"Don't lie, I saw the experiment log on the computer." Lin Chi put his right hand in his pocket and prepared for battle.

Even if this person doesn't seem to be able to resist, it's not to be taken lightly, after all, anything can happen in this "off the beaten path" game.

"Oh, you said the 'Experiment Log'."

The designer turned around slowly, picked up a small flamethrower on the table behind him, and pointed to the bread slice next to him: "That's what I wrote when I was baking bread, and no one will deliver food in this place." Would you like to have one? My craft has been much better lately. ”

Hearing this, Lin Chi was stunned for two seconds, and almost sprayed a mouthful of old blood on the old man's face.

Seeing that he was about to vomit blood, the old man laughed again, bent down and took out a silver humanoid mechanical skeleton from under the workbench, and placed it on the floor at his feet:

"By the way, since you have completed the task, this is your trophy, although it is a little rough, it was also made by myself, enjoy it."

Lin Chi stepped forward and pressed his right hand on the metal skeleton, and an introduction to the object appeared in his field of vision:

X2-001 exoskeleton prototype.

Armor.

Item Class: Fine.

Armor, which can be used without proficiency. No Strength or Agility is required.

When equipped, your Strength and Agility are increased by 3 points each, and as long as you don't take off the Exoskeleton, the effect will persist. This armor can be worn with other armor.

"The exoskeleton is a weapon for individual combat in modern warfare, but in this era, this research is just beginning. So even if it's just a prototype, this exoskeleton is very rare. ”
