Pushing open the tattered wooden door of a bar on the side of the road, a pungent smell of alcohol hit his face, Lin Chi strode into the dimly lit room, looked around and looked at the drunk man at the table. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Since he didn't know where to recruit NPCs, he chose the bar to try his luck, after all, in many old games, the "tavern" was a good place to recruit subordinates and gather intelligence.

But this time...... Things don't seem to be that simple.

"Hahaha!"

A burst of laughter mixed with vomiting erupted from the corner, followed by a burst of laughter.

The drunken guys in this bar look like they're all locals and gang members, and there's no intelligence traffickers or anything like that.

Is it in the wrong place?

Lin Chi, who was wondering, walked to the front of the bar and asked the waitress wearing heavy makeup and tight leather clothes: "Can I recruit subordinates here?" ”

The woman pursed her lips disdainfully and snorted, "I don't understand what you're saying." ”

Hearing this, Lin Chi took out a hundred dollars from his pocket, put it on the bar in front of the hostess, and said with a smile: "Can you understand now?" ”

"Huh? Oh......" The waitress looked back, quickly stuffed the hundred-yuan bill into her pocket, and leaned into Lin Chi's ear and lowered her voice: "In the alley behind the bar, there is a door with a circular mark painted on it, you knock on the door four times, wait a minute, someone will open the door." ”

"Ha, thanks."

Noting down the information provided by the hostess, Lin Chi didn't stop for long, and immediately left the noisy bar. As soon as he returned to the street, three men in jumpers stood in front of him.

"Boy, you're new here, aren't you?" One of them laughed contemptuously.

"The newcomers have to pay money, the entrance fee." Another guy next to him picked up the conversation.

Looking at the short knives in the hands of the three people, Lin Chi immediately realized that he had encountered a robbery. He didn't panic, just patted his briefcase and said with a smile: "How much does it cost?" ”

"Three thousand." The man standing in the middle opened his mouth to report a number, raised his knife and shook it in front of Lin Chi, and the light refracted by the sun shook Lin Chi's eyes: "We want cash." ”

"Oh, okay, okay......" Lin Chi pretended to be frightened, turned around and fumbled in his briefcase. And then—

With a piercing roar, he started the engine of the chainsaw in his hand, and smiled kindly at the three dumbfounded robbers:

"Is that okay?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the three men turn around and run, jumping through the street like rabbits, and I don't know where they have gone.

Seeing that they had gotten out, Lin Chi put away the chainsaw and turned around and walked towards the alley behind the bar.

As soon as he entered the alley, in the lower right corner of his vision, a game announcement appeared again:

"The first full-band scan has ended, deaths: 23. Have a great time playing. ”

At the same time as the announcement appeared, the dense red dots on the map finally disappeared.

"Twenty-three......" Lin Chi repeated the death count in his heart.

Counting the two people who hung up before the full-band scan began, a total of twenty-five players were killed, and there should be seventy-five players left in the game.

With just one scan at the beginning of the game, a quarter of the players "quit the stage of history", and it is clear that the battles in the later stages of the game will undoubtedly be more intense!

In this kind of game, it's not a good idea to fight alone, and it's better to recruit some subordinates first in order to save your life.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi quickened his pace, walked into the gloomy alley, and soon found an iron door painted with red paint and circles.

He followed the waitress's prompt, raised his hand and knocked on the door four times, then stood aside and waited patiently for a minute.

The iron door slowly opened inward, and a flat-headed man in a jacket and jeans stood in the doorway and asked, "Looking for someone?" ”

Lin Chi nodded, looking at the other party's unusually pale face.

The man looked like he had taken a pill or had a skin disease. Diagonally above his head, a silver skull icon is suspended, along with a line of small letters introducing his identity:

The listless Greck, the mercenary intermediary merchant, the special NPC, cannot be recruited.

"Come in." The man named Greck pulled the door back and turned sideways to signal Lin Chi to follow.

Recalling the previous robbery, Lin Chi quietly pulled out the carbon steel saber and stuffed it into his pocket, and followed the flat-headed man with a pale complexion into the house.

The living room is very shabby, with only a few pieces of dirty furniture, and it looks like a typical slum.

In the center of the living room, on the wooden table with a broken leg and flattened with bricks, was nailed a silver saber, and the table was covered with paper, several of which were mottled with blood.

"Don't mess with things." Greck reminded him, pulled over a rough wooden chair and sat down on the edge of the table, and asked bluntly, "Which one do you want to hire?" ”

"What are they?" Lin Chi asked.

"The first is cannon fodder, five hundred dollars a piece, always with you, and you need to provide them with a place to live." As he spoke, Greek took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Lin Chi, the man in the photo had a crooked mouth, skinny as wood, revealing an air of mental retardation.

"Forget it, I need to be stronger." Lin Chi returned the photo to the other party.

"The second type is an ordinary mercenary, 1,500 dollars a person, who needs to provide shelter and has strong combat effectiveness." Greck introduced.

"Listen to you, there's a third one, right?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.

"Yes." Greck nodded: "The third type is elite mercenaries, it costs three thousand dollars to hire one, you don't need to provide them with a place to stay, they usually lurk near you, once necessary, you can summon them, and they will arrive in ten seconds." ”

"What's the summoning method?" Lin Chi asked with interest.

This time, Greck didn't answer, but explained impatiently: "Only after you hire will I teach you how to summon them." How, do you hire or not? ”

"Then hire three first." Lin Chi said and took out nine thousand dollars and put it on the table: "Can you let me meet them?" ”

Since he currently has no place to live, he cannot provide accommodation for ordinary mercenaries, so he can only hire elite mercenaries. More importantly, Lin Chi was still interested in the "summoning" in Greck's mouth.

The map of "City of Chaos" is a simulation of the urban situation thirty years ago, and the various settings in it are still relatively realistic, and there should be no unscientific situation such as the "summoning" of magicians.

It is conceivable that the summoning that Greck is talking about should be something else.

After waiting for a while, the pale intermediary merchant finally finished counting the money, nodded and said, "Come with me and show you how." ”

The two walked out of the house together, back to the dirty and narrow alley, Greck took out a silver object that looked like a laser pointer from his pocket and handed it to Lin Chi, explaining:

"Press the button above, and the elite mercenary will appear next to you in ten seconds."

"Are you sure?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

There was no breath of any creature in this alley except for the two of them, where were those three elite mercenaries hiding in order to arrive in ten seconds?

Lin Chi, who was still a little confused, pressed the red button on the "laser pointer". After five seconds of waiting, the alley was as quiet as ever.

"You're not lying to me......"

Before Lin Chi could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sound of impact coming from diagonally ahead.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the lid of the large garbage bin on his right flew out three meters away and hit the opposite wall, and a tall man wearing a digital camouflage combat uniform and a thermal imaging mirror on his forehead stood up from the garbage can suddenly!

Seeing the soldier holding the HK-416 assault rifle, Lin Chi couldn't help but let out a stunned voice: "I'll rely on ......"

With the appearance of this mercenary, another figure ghostly appeared behind the originally empty telephone pole on the left, and the third mercenary descended from a window above. In less than ten seconds, the three of them had already stood in front of Lin Chi, raised their right hands and saluted a very standard military salute.

"Chief, what are your instructions?" The mercenary standing in the center spoke, half of his face obscured by a skeletal mask.

"You've been hiding nearby?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

"You've hired us, and we can guarantee to respond to your call within ten seconds." The mercenary's voice was low and firm: "We will shed the last drop of blood for you!" ”

"Okay, I'll just give it a try, you guys can go first." Lin Chi waved his hand.

――It seems that Greck is not exaggerating, the three elite mercenaries hired by himself can indeed rush to his side from seemingly impossible positions in ten seconds!

With Lin Chi's order, the three mercenaries walked quickly out of the alley and disappeared from the sight of the two.

"How?" There was a hint of pride in Greck's voice.

"It's worthy of being an elite, and I'm convinced."

Lin Chi nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Do you have any special mercenaries here, or hero-level mercenaries here?" ”

No matter how strong these three entourages were, they were just ordinary NPCs, and what Lin Chi was really interested in was the special NPCs and hero-level characters that could be hired.

Hearing his question, Greck's brows furrowed, and after a moment of silence, he finally spoke slowly:

"I do have one here, but that guy's spirit, how can I say it...... It's not normal. ”
