Today, when the beta of Paradise of War has entered the middle and late stages, players have already reached an agreement on the question of "which is the most practical renovation plan for the safe house":

-- There is no doubt that, except in very few special cases, it is the right choice to come up and change the barracks first. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike workshops, which require engineers to be hired, the Barracks can instantly improve the mercenaries' stats once they are built, and they also come with the most frequently used skill in the game, the Battle Horn. The initial cost performance is so high that I don't know where it is.

As for the safe house renovation plan "Headquarters", which was just added to the game in this update, it is even more useless in New York, a map where all players have their own scanning skills.

With this in mind, after Lin Chi found the architect, he also chose to transform his safe house into a barracks. But......

In a map so simple as making money, he certainly wouldn't be satisfied with just having one safe house.

While waiting for the barracks to be renovated, Lin Chi went to the bank on the street for a few more turns, and easily earned the funds to buy a second house.

In the Italian Quarter next to it, he bought a two-story apartment that was being put up for sale, and then decisively converted the second safe house into a workshop where processing and research equipment could be developed.

Due to the game Paradise of War, players are allowed to save safe house remodeling schemes that have been used in previous matches. Lin Chi also handed over the new special prop "Workshop Drawings" in his backpack to the architect in charge of this transformation. After the other party started work, he stood on the lawn in front of the apartment and looked at it for a while, and then turned around and left satisfied.

The design on that paper is the workshop that was renovated by the mining queen Medea in the City of Chaos, and the operation efficiency is several times higher than that of ordinary workshops.

At that time, Lin Chi also relied on the workshop renovated by Media, so that he could produce body armor ceramic inserts for dozens of mercenaries under him in a short period of time, which greatly reduced the casualty rate of his subordinates.

Obviously, once this workshop is successfully built, its "tech tree" in this game will also be rapidly improved.

And in New York in 2050, the content that the workshop can develop will definitely be much richer than it was in the City of Chaos!

Thinking of this, Lin Chi, who was walking along the sidewalk towards the barracks, also hummed a tune out of tune.

At this moment, he keenly noticed that a not very harmonious figure appeared in the crowd opposite the intersection in front of him:

It was a flat-headed man in a black suit with big sunglasses covering half of his face, although his figure was not as strong as the "Terminator" in Lin Chi's impression, but his walking pace was unusually steady, not so much a human being as a precise machine.

In addition, this person's height is also more than ten centimeters taller than the passers-by around him, and he is at least two meters tall, and his appearance of "standing out from the crowd" is also the reason why Ling Lin Chi noticed him at a glance.

Seeing the guy who was suspected to be the "Terminator", Lin Chi was silent, and after staring at the other party for a few seconds, the long-lost red skull logo and the text introducing the name finally appeared in the field of vision:

T-800 production type, heroic NPC, not recruitable.

Realizing that he had encountered a terminator patrolling the street, Lin Chi also immediately turned off his electronic eyes to avoid attracting the attention of the other party, and he blended into the crowd and left the street as fast as possible.

Unlike electronic guards, which are marked yellow in the electronic eye, the Terminator is supposed to use a special shielding device that cannot be detected by the electronic eye at all.

Although as long as you stare at each other for a few seconds, a hint of a hero-level NPC will appear in your sight, but in the heat of battle, there is no such free time.

――It seems that we are going to start as soon as possible.

After noticing the undetectable nature of the Terminator, Lin Chi also decisively chose to act immediately, returned to the newly renovated barracks, and said to the two special NPCs who were sitting in the living room chatting, "Do you want to visit with me?" ”

"What to visit? The stale ruins of capitalism! "Crazy Ivan, who was still a little listless, immediately became interested.

"I'm going to visit the Statue of Liberty, are you interested?" A meaningful smile appeared on Lin Chi's face.

Seeing his expression, the quick-witted Medea shook her head busily and excused herself: "I won't go, I'll go to the workshop to see ...... later"

In fact, Lin Chi had never planned to bring this technician who was useless in battle. After a few more words of advice to Medea and the regular mercenaries left behind, he returned to the street, flagged down a taxi, and went to the Statue of Liberty with Crazy Ivan.

As one of the landmark buildings of New York, the Statue of Liberty standing on Liberty Island holding the torch high has long become a famous attraction for countless tourists.

Because of this, Lin Chi did not easily believe the information provided by the priest at that time. However, when the taxi arrived at the ticket office, he soon realized that the Statue of Liberty today was a little different from usual.

In front of the automatic ferry ticket office, which is always lined up on weekdays, but now it is empty, Lin Chi and Crazy Ivan stepped forward, only to see a few electronic guards guarding something on the shore, and there are no tourists on the island where the goddess statue is located.

Noticing the arrival of the two "tourists", an electronic guard drove over and stood in front of Lin Chi and made a mechanical sound:

"Sorry, this attraction is temporarily closed."

-- Now it seems that the information provided by the old priest is indeed true.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi smiled, turned his head and glanced at Crazy Ivan, motioned for him not to speak, and then explained, "We are not tourists. ”

"Who are you?" A mailbox-shaped robot asks routine questions.

"Actually, we're NSA people." Lin Chi's face did not change and his heart did not beat nonsense: "If you don't believe it, you can scan our face and compare it with the database." ”

Hearing this, the crazy Ivan next to him widened his eyes slightly, and was about to speak when Lin Chi stepped on his feet, and let out a muffled snort in pain.

After a series of "money-making operations" in the bank, Lin Chi's electronic eye authority level has been upgraded to level 6, although he cannot directly control the electronic guard, but it is more than enough to modify part of the data loop inside the electronic guard.

Taking advantage of the fact that the robot was searching for data, Lin Chi's left eye lit up with an imperceptible blue light again, and he unknowingly added the facial data of himself and Crazy Ivan to the robot's memory chip.

"After the test, the two are NSA employees." A green light lit up on the head of the electronic guard: "Permission to enter, please two of you board the automatic ferry." ”

"It's just kidding me......"

Before Crazy Ivan finished speaking, he was dragged onto the boat by Lin Chi's arm, touched his shiny bald head suspiciously, and asked, "How did you do it?" ”

"I'm really from the NSA." Lin Chi's tone was very serious.

"Don't talk nonsense."

The two chatted without saying a word, and the silver automatic ferry quickly sailed towards the Freedom Island where the goddess statue was located, and just as the island was getting closer and closer, Lin Chi's sight suddenly lit up with a dangerous red light.

"Huh?"

Noticing that a hostile player had arrived on Liberty Island one step ahead of him, Lin Chi, who had just sat down, stood up again and moved his muscles:

"This is interesting......
