War Paradise

Chapter 41 Black Market Encounter

The just-built workshop cannot be as effective immediately as the barracks.

Now, Lin Chi still needs to recruit some engineers and scientific and technological talents, and collect a lot of materials in order to start his workshop.

Since each death match has a time limit, the players who built the studio often encounter the embarrassing situation that the game has ended before the studio has researched anything.

Because of this, building a barracks is now a popular style of play, and fewer and fewer players choose to build workshops.

However, players of Lin Chi’s level will naturally not be affected by the strategies made by online players.

In fact, he entered the game directly without even reading the beginner’s guide. But that is not out of absolute self-confidence, but simply too lazy…

After checking in the workshop, Lin Chi left the crazy Yiwen who had just blown up and was still in a satisfied state, and the girl without a name in the workshop. On the other hand, he went to the black market again based on the information obtained from Greek, planning to recruit a few engineers and purchase some materials by the way.

After killing the boss in the underground warehouse, he not only obtained a large amount of cash, but also obtained 100 prestige points and 100 dominance points. This level of prestige should be more than enough to recruit engineers.

He grabbed a car from the street and drove to the square in the city center. Lin Chi walked into the underground bar under the mall with his familiarity, and told the beautiful lady behind the bar to entertain the new code after the change:

“I miss a poem.”

“Gou?” The waitress raised her eyebrows.

“Gou Quan lives in troubled times and does not want to be heard by the princes.” Lin Chi said.

“Come in.” The waitress opened the side door of the bar.

Pass through the long corridor and enter the lively underground street as always. Lin Chi looked around and found no suspicious characters like players. Then he walked into the crowd and came to Junkrat’s bomb shop.

At this time, people in the bomb shop were already emptying the house, leaving only the steel workbench, and all kinds of bombs and traps in it had disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chi shook his head.

Obviously, the hero-level character Junkrat that he had not had time to recruit before was recruited by other players.

Although he didn’t know who Junkrat had joined, Lin Chi always felt that Frankenstein recruited this crazy “bomberman”.

In this game, the most threatening enemy to oneself, if not surprising, should be the frankenstein who is rapidly developing technology!

Thinking of this, Lin Chi left Junkrat’s bomb shop and continued to search for the necessary materials inside the underground street:

According to the information recorded in the pamphlet titled “Guide to the Use of Workshops” left by the architect when he left. The easiest initial project in the workshop is to use small military factories to produce ammunition.

To make ammunition, you don’t even need to hire an engineer, you just need to prepare the materials, and then hire a few workers to take care of the assembly line.

So now, what Lin Chi is looking for first is a shop that sells gunpowder and brass: As long as these two materials are available, the workshop can immediately start producing bullets, and he doesn’t need to go to the weapon shop to buy ammunition.

Soon, he found a shop named “Nuclear Energy Material Store” with a nuclear radiation warning icon painted on the signboard.

Seeing the rich variety of materials piled up in this store, Lin Chi walked over quickly and bluntly stated his needs to the man with a beard standing in front of the counter:

“Do you have gunpowder and brass here?”

“Oh, you want to produce bullets, right? Of course we have these two materials.” The shopkeeper nodded and said: “Please fill in the address of your home and the quantity you need to buy, and we will deliver the materials to your home.”

Hearing that, Lin Chi wrote the address of the safe house and the quantity of goods needed on the delivery note handed by the shopkeeper, and then took out 10,000 U.S. dollars from his backpack to pay.

In fact, the ammunition produced by the workshop is not much cheaper than the ammunition bought in the store, but the quality is much higher than the ammunition in the weapons store. Whether it is power or accuracy, it is much more reliable than the ammunition sold in the weapon store.

After the ammunition produced by the workshop is equipped with mercenaries under his command, the combat effectiveness of the seven elite mercenaries will be further improved.

After purchasing the materials, Lin Chi asked casually: “Are there any rare materials in the store?”

Perhaps because his prestige value is high enough, the shopkeeper’s attitude is also very good, and he immediately answered this question: “There used to be uranium mines, but you are late!”

“Who bought it?” Lin Chi frowned slightly.

“It’s a weird guy with a bandage on his body, I can’t see his face.” The shopkeeper replied.

“Oh.” Lin Chi nodded thoughtfully.

——It sounds like Frankenstein bought the rare materials in the shop, but what did that guy do with the uranium ore? Is it possible to make a nuclear bomb?

Realizing that his enemy seemed to be preparing to make a big news, Lin Chi did not stop much, and soon left the nuclear energy material store to continue searching for the materials and talents he needed in the black market.

——After learning about the other party’s intentions, he also speeded up his actions. After all, if he continues to procrastinate and waits for Frankenstein to actually build a nuclear bomb, he will never be able to come back!

Ten minutes later, he spent another 10,000 U.S. dollars to hire three ammunition-producing workers and an ordinary engineer in the black market, and sent them back to the workshop.

——The amount of money needed to hire engineers is much more expensive than mercenaries. Three workers only spent three thousand dollars in total, but an ordinary engineer would charge seven thousand dollars.

It seems that taking the technological route in the game is more difficult than imagined.

Lin Chi walked to the inside of the underground street and was continuing to look for an engineer to hire. Suddenly behind him came a familiar male voice:

“team leader?”

“…”

Hearing the voices of his team members, Lin Chi turned his head in surprise, and saw a young man with a hedgehog head standing behind him, staring curiously at his face:

“Captain, is that you?” the young man asked.

“This voice, are you’Black Fire’?” Lin Chi whispered.

He had no idea that he would meet acquaintances from the same team in this game. However, he knows that it is normal for team members to recognize themselves at a glance. After all, when they create roles in other games, they basically don’t bother to squeeze their faces…

“Yes, yeah, I’m Black Fire!” The young man looked very excited: “I didn’t expect the captain to play this game too. I thought you were sleeping except for training…”

“I’m not too lazy to share it yet, thank you.” Lin Chi smiled helplessly.

——The outspoken young man in front of him is the youngest member of his team, and his combat effectiveness is also the inverse level in the team. It is basically a “mascot” in the team.

“Yeah, after all, you never participate in offline activities of the team. I guessed too…” Heihuo scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and then asked, “Should the captain come to see my base? My safety. The house has just been remodeled.”

“Don’t forget that we are still enemies now.” Lin Chi smiled.

“Well, indeed…then I will leave first!”

Hei Huo said that he was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Lin Chi again.

“Wait.”

“Is there anything else? Captain.” Hei Huo looked back at him.

“It’s not like you are playing this game for the first time.” Lin Chi stepped forward, patted the team’s “mascot” meaningfully on the shoulder, and asked: “This player named’Frankenstein’, you should have heard of it. Ever?”

“You said Frankenstein, he is indeed very famous. It is really unlucky for him to rank him.” Heihuo sighed while shaking his head.

“Why do you say that?” Lin Chi asked curiously.

“The game has only been tested for a few days, and Frankenstein has become famous. Now there are many posts discussing him in the forum.”

Having said this, Black Fire seemed to be a little scared, and suddenly lowered his voice: “It is said that’Frankenstein’ is in the game twenty-four hours a day. What’s more terrifying is… he seems to have won every one he participated in. Rounds of games.”
