"That guy is mentally ill?" Lin Chi asked curiously. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although it doesn't sound very reliable, he naturally won't let go of the special NPCs that can be hired.

Obviously, even if it is a psychopath, there should be a way to control it, otherwise this intermediary businessman would not have kept that madman.

After Lin Chi spent money to hire three elite mercenaries, Greek's attitude was much better, and he patiently explained: "That person ...... Anyway, I'll take you to see him sooner. ”

The two returned to the living room and walked into the adjacent bedroom, where Greck pushed open the bookcase on the wall, revealing an iron fence door on the back wall, then took a key from his pocket and opened the small door.

The small room behind the door had no windows, it was almost invisible, and there was a damp smell in the air, like a completely uninhabitable storage room.

Greck fumbled around the wall next to the door, and the incandescent lights on the ceiling lit up, casting a white glow.

Then what caught Lin Chi's eyes were the four walls with peeling skin, and the man tied to a chair in the center of the room:

It was a bald man with his right eye covered by an eyepatch, his body in a restrained suit for a mentally ill person, firmly attached to a heavy iron chair, and a plastic mask on his face to prevent him from biting or chewing his tongue.

The man's left eye widened and he met Lin Chi's eyes, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes made him look a little old. At the same time, in Lin Chi's line of sight, a silver skeleton icon identifying a special NPC appeared, along with a line of text introduction:

？？？ , special NPCs, recruitable (quests required).

"Who is this, could it be Dr. Hannibal?" Lin Chi asked.

Before Greck could speak, the bald man sitting in the chair suddenly shouted excitedly: "Happy birthday!" Are you here to pick me up! ”

Hearing the other party's thick Russian accent and excited tone, Lin Chi suddenly thought of something and asked, "He came from the Soviet Union?" ”

"Yes, he used to be a demolition expert in the former Soviet Union, and he came here as a mercenary after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and this bastard is very mentally unstable, and he almost blew up my base several times." Greck explained with a frown.

Hearing this, Lin Chi had already learned the real name of this NPC, and he had seen this crazy "old friend" in an old game decades ago.

Then, the introduction of the characters in his sight also changed again:

The real name has been determined:

"Crazy Ivan", a special NPC that can be recruited (quest required).

"Originally from the Soviet Union, Mad Ivan is a notoriously frenzied explosives expert who can plant bombs in almost any location, and once they are installed, they cannot be dismantled."

"Hello!" Crazy Ivan shouted, "Can you make me move?" I haven't touched a bomb for half a month! ”

"No, get out." Greck's answer was simple and rude, then he turned to Lin Chi and asked, "How is it, are you interested?" ”

"I'd be interested if I could make sure he didn't put a bomb on me." Lin Chi told the truth.

"I'm not going to plant a bomb on my employer!" Crazy Ivan argued loudly as if he was a little aggrieved: "I have a good work ethic!" ”

Without waiting for Lin Chi to speak, the bald man with an unstable mental state said quickly: "If you get my backpack back, I can be your subordinate!" Even if you send me to die, as long as you can get me to plant a bomb! ”

Before the words fell, in Lin Chi's sight, a taskbar that had not been seen for a long time appeared:

Start Mission: Bomb Backpack.

Mad Ivan asks you to help him recover his lost bomb backpack. If you recover his backpack, this bomb specialist will join you.

Reward: Special NPC Crazy Ivan.

“……”

After reading the introduction of this task, Lin Chi thought for a moment and immediately made a judgment.

"Where's his backpack?" He asked Greck.

"You really want to take this madman, it's none of my business if you get blown up." Greck sighed helplessly: "I took his backpack to the black market and sold it, you can go to the black market now, maybe you can buy it." ”

"Where's the black market?" Lin Chi raised the second question.

"You don't even know that, do you?" Greck's expression was a little surprised: "Downtown speakeasy, go check it out, remember this code......"

After asking Grek about the location and code of the bar, Lin Chi left the alley, got into the snatched Mercedes-Benz SLK sports car, and galloped towards the city center.

Even though Crazy Ivan was not mentally stable, Lin Chi still decided to recruit him. After all, this guy is crazy, and the level of explosives is absolutely superb, and when he can't control it, even if he is allowed to rush into the enemy group with a bomb and explode himself, it will be worth the ticket price.

Moreover, what Lin Chi is more interested in now is the underground black market in the City of Chaos.

Based on his years of gaming experience, places like the black market generally sell bizarre things that can't be bought in normal stores. If you're lucky, you might even be able to buy rare treasures.

Driving slowly into the downtown business district, Lin Chi parked the car in the underground parking lot of the mall, and walked into the crowded mall with his briefcase.

Even though the passers-by around him were ordinary NPCs, Lin Chi still raised his vigilance.

――I don't think you're the only one who thinks of going to a speakeasy. After all, the tip before entering the game is clearly written: find the speakeasy in the City of Chaos, where there may be something you're interested in.

If you encounter other players in such a place, you are likely to explode in PVP. However, in places like the Black Market, there are usually guards equipped with heavy firepower.

In other words, the black market area is likely to belong to the kind of "safe zone" where PK is not possible.

Taking the elevator to the third basement floor and entering the brightly lit dance hall, Lin Chi walked through the crowd to the bar, and said the code provided by Greck to the Asian beauty who was bartending: "I miss a poem." ”

Hearing this, the woman narrowed her narrow eyes and looked at him and asked, "Gou?" ”

"Don't forget each other." Lin Chi whispered.

"Okay, come in." The waitress put down the colorful cocktail glass in her hand and turned slightly sideways to signal Lin Chi to walk into the bar.

The narrow passage behind the bar was surprisingly long, and Lin Chi walked for a minute before he reached the end. Before he could see the true face of the black market, he had already seen more than a dozen fierce men carrying light machine guns on both sides of the passage.

"Sure enough." He secretly confirmed his judgment.

In the black market area, it is obviously impossible to carry out PVP, and even if you preemptively kill other players, you will be shot and blown to pieces by these guards!

――So, let's see what is being sold in this place.

After continuing to move forward for about a hundred meters, Lin Chi took a deep breath and pushed open the silver metal door at the end of the aisle.
