The saying "money can make ghosts grind" is vividly reflected in the NPC, which is set as a shop owner who only recognizes money in the game. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After seeing the banknotes in Lin Chi's hand, the bookstore owner, who had a disgusted face before, suddenly seemed to be a different person, and began to be courteous to him.

Lin Chi only used more than a hundred yuan to buy a large number of ancient books that were about to become moldy, and then threw all these yellowed books into the gray cloth backpack he had just bought from a roadside stall.

Since the backstory of the game map this time is not as "easy to understand" as the last time in Chaos City, the first thing he plans to do is not to start killing people immediately, but to figure out the setting of this map first.

So now, Lin Chi also walked into an antique-style hotel on the side of the road, opened a single room, and began to read the books he had just bought from the "Cangjie Ancient Bookstore".

The candlestick on the wooden cabinet at the head of the bed emitted a leisurely light, reflecting the dark bedroom, Lin Chi lay on the bed, casually opened a copy of "A Brief History of Ancient Times", and began to quickly browse the contents.

When he first turned the first page, his expression was still very "lazy", squinting his eyes and muttering lazily:

"Oh......"

After reading a few more pages, Lin Chi's eyes suddenly widened, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared:

"Huh?"

As he continued reading, he opened his mouth slightly and made a confused voice:

"Huh?"

After another ten minutes, he had already entered a state of bewilderment:

"What the hell?"

- Although he had long sensed that there was a deviation in the world line of the map of Organ City, even Lin Chi had not expected this unexpected unfolding before.

The records in the first part of this history book are still relatively similar to the real ancient Chinese history: Emperor Yan and Yellow Emperor, King Wu conquered the Six Kingdoms, and Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms......

However, from the Three Kingdoms period, the situation was not quite the same.

According to the record of this brief history, after Liu Bei's death, the military advisor Zhuge Liang continued the Northern Expedition for the last wish of his ancestors, but he was unable to break through the Wei state's hold.

As Zhuge Kongming became more and more tired, his physical condition also deteriorated. But this time, when his life was nearing the end, he did not find a way to continue his life, but tried his best to make a great invention that changed history by studying the ancient mechanism passed down by the Mo family and the public loser:

This invention is also known as the feng shui engine.

Lin Chi originally thought that the "Feng Shui Engine" was something like a spell-driven mechanism. But according to the records in this history book, the feng shui engine is not an ordinary mechanism, but an ancient computer made of bronze, silk and sandalwood!

Although the feng shui engine at the beginning could only perform the simplest addition calculations, and was basically not much stronger than the abacus, with the continuous improvement of later generations of craftsmen, its size began to shrink more and more, and its function became more and more powerful.

Today, the Feng Shui engine has become a "miniature computer" that can be built into various machines and puppets as much as modern computers!

Since there are no radios or other equipment in this world line, the long-distance communication carried out by the people here is done by borrowing "cobwebs" buried underground that connect the entire city.

By sensing the faint vibrations of the silk threads, the feng shui engine can reproduce the other person's voice, and even recreate the other person's face on another screen through the shadow shape cast on the inside, completing an incredible "video call." ”

In other words, China, which is on this world line, has not undergone industrialization, so it has directly skipped a historical stage and forcibly entered the information age!

As for the energy used by people in this era, in addition to burning coal, it is mainly wind and hydropower, and the bladed turntable installed in the river of death is not only a machine used to kill people, but also a simple "hydroelectric generator".

With the continuous development of mechanical techniques, puppet dolls have also become commonplace. The craftsmen installed small feng shui engines inside the puppets, and these feng shui engines manipulated the wooden joints and silk threads inside the puppets to make the puppets perform certain movements, which is how the puppet guards on the streets worked.

"Nima, this black technology can only be done in the game......" Lin Chi sighed.

Even he didn't expect that the technology tree in this world would be crooked like this.

As it was not clear what was going on the other side of the river, he began to read the following account of the Greek state on the other side of the river:

According to the description of the history books, the ancient Greek technology tree was also very crooked. And their tech tree shift started when Archimedes discovered the use of solar energy through research......

With the shift of the technology trees of ancient China and ancient Greece, the two countries were soon unified, and then began to expand rapidly at the same time in the "year 251 of the Gregorian calendar", that is, around the 500th year of the Common Era.

With the "black technology" beyond the level of contemporary technology, they swept through many countries along the way, until the armies of these two countries encountered in the city of the institution.

Two extremely powerful armies fought to the death along the river.

The war lasted for three years, and both sides lost a huge number of soldiers, but they still could not distinguish the winner. In the end, the two countries had to negotiate peacefully, and a new border was drawn along the river.

As each other was wary of the other, both countries began to build new fortress cities along the river.

This barren river beach has developed into a bustling metropolis after a few decades. This is the game map - "Trap City"!

It took half an hour to finish reading this incredible "history book", Lin Chi casually put down the damp pages, opened the window of the hostel, and suddenly a howling cold wind mixed with snowflakes rushed into the house.

"Players should have been assigned to the opposite Greek-controlled zone, right?"

Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and stared at the vague Greek city in the distance.

In his opinion, the players who are lined up in this map should be randomly assigned to both sides of the riverbank, and if they are all born on this side, then it makes no sense to design the Greek cities on the other side.

So the question arises - how do players cross the river with the giant "meat grinder" installed?

It seems that these two cities across the river are completely disconnected. However, the technology and architectural styles on both sides have also been "integrated" a lot, which is obviously the result of mutual spy investigations between the two sides.

However, if the players are completely unable to cross the river, then this deathmatch will never determine the winner.

In other words, maybe you can find a secret passage or something like that, and you can get to the Greek city on the other side of the river?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi closed the window, casually stuffed the "Brief History of Ancient Times" into his backpack, and then left the hotel and began to look for the weapon store along the road.

According to his speculation, there should also be a mechanic similar to "all-band scanning" in this map, and the battle between players will probably start at dawn.

Until then, it's time to buy some reliable weapons and hire a few guards by the way.
