War Paradise

Chapter 219

While waiting for the waitress to return, Lin Chi picked up the cup and took another sip of goat’s milk.

Although it is meaningless to eat and drink in the game, it is a good pastime to experience the taste of “exotic food”. After all, in the real world, he probably would never drink such things.

History is always surprisingly similar, just when Lin Chi sat in front of the bar and put his arms on the table. Just listen to another knock on the door in front of the tavern.

Hearing this sound, the brawny man who had just nailed the door panel reluctantly shouted: “Knock the door!”

boom!

There was another loud noise, and a man carried the cold wind and fell into the tavern embarrassedly. Several people who were sitting at the table playing cards turned their heads to look at the person who had just entered, and shouted: “Hurry up and shut the door. Shut it off! Bastard, don’t hinder us from playing Gwent.”

“This difference in treatment is quite big.” Lin Chi said with emotion in his heart.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chi immediately realized that the other party did not have the status of a “Shadow Guardian” or the like, and in the eyes of these NPCs, they did not get any respect at all. but……

——This guy, isn’t he a player too?

Lin Chi increased his vigilance a little and stared at the man who had just entered the tavern:

The man was wearing a set of light leather armor that was almost frosted, his face was covered with icy ballast, and he looked trembling, as if he might return to the west at any time.

Although the general player is protected by the rules of the game, it will not be frozen like this ghost. But it does not rule out the possibility that this person deliberately pretended to look like this.

In the advent mode, it is much more difficult to recognize if the opponent is a player than in the Death competition.

After all, in this mode, the NPCs possessed by the player are all aboriginal appearances. The “handsome and beautiful” face-squeezing technique that is common in Death competitions does not appear at all.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi didn’t say much, but just pretended to be a “hidden master” and continued to sit at the bar, playing with the wooden cup in his hand.

He knew that when he could not confirm the identity of the other party, the other party could not figure out the details of own.

In this state, it’s up to you to see where the horse’s feet are exposed first.

Not long after Lin stayed late, the young man in light leather armor pulled a chair and sat beside him. Staring sideways at the “old hunter” beside him, he asked tentatively: “How are you?”

“Hello.” Lin Chi turned his head and glanced at the guy, and asked casually, “Is there something wrong?”

“I just arrived here, and I still can’t figure out the situation.” The young man said, pulling the brim of the peaked cap on his head: “May I ask, is there a war here recently?”

This person’s speech is almost like the standard line of the player when he talks to NPC. However, such straightforward remarks made Lin Chi suspicious.

“Are you a mercenary?” Lin Chi frowned slightly.

“No, no, I’m a scavenger.” The blue-faced young man rubbed his flushed hands: “There are treasures in the Savia Valley, maybe you can make a fortune!”

Seeing the excitement of the other party, Lin Chi put down the cup and reminded casually: “There may be a war going on recently. You’d better not run around and keep your own life.”

“Thank you, thank you.” The young man who claimed to be a scavenger repeatedly thanked him, staring at the glass cabinet behind the bar with some confusion, and asked: “Where is the bartender?”

“She has something wrong now.”

“Then I have another question…” The scavenger said again.

Before the other party finished speaking, Lin Chi already stretched out his right hand and said dumbly, “Get the money.”

“Huh?” The scavenger didn’t react for a while: “What?”

“Although I’m not an intelligence businessman, I won’t answer questions for free.” Lin Chi said and moved his finger: “If you need information, you pay. It’s that simple.”

By now, he was almost certain that this young man was not a player.

After all, a player would never report himself so stupidly. The scavenger who looked suspicious was probably just a frozen NPC.

However, even so, this person still has use value…

Lin Chi inadvertently glanced at the tavern hall at the back. There are currently four people playing cards, and the three next to him are watching. In addition, three people occupy three empty tables scatteredly, drinking without a word:

——In the frozen Savia Valley, there don’t seem to be many such gathering places. There may be other players hidden in this tavern, and there may even be more than one.

Despite the seemingly happy appearance, Lin Chi could still perceive it, as if there was an invisible haze, floating in the air inside the tavern along with the smell of alcohol.

When the situation is uncertain, all you need to do is to be patient.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi was about to talk to the scavengers around him, but saw that the silver-haired woman finally walked down the stairs, holding a square box wrapped in white cloth in her hand.

“I brought it here.” The waitress smiled.

Lin Chi noticed that everyone in the tavern seemed to cast meaningful eyes over.

He nodded, took the box in the waitress’s hand, pretended that no abnormality was found at all, and whispered: “I’m leaving now.”

“Don’t stay longer?” The waitress’s voice sounded a little bit sad.

“I plan to go home and sleep.”

Lin Chi single-handedly opened the wooden door that had just been nailed again by the strong man. The Silver Wolf, who was lying next to the door, immediately stood up and shook his body, and stood beside him.

One person and one wolf left the tavern and returned to the snow in the sky.

This time, Lin Chi did not leave directly, but walked around the tavern a few times, and after covering up his and Silver Wolf footprints, he lay down in the snow not far in front of the tavern.

“Go over there,” he ordered in a low voice.

As if he had understood the master’s command, Silver Wolf quickly ran to the west of the tavern, while Lin Chi continued to ambush at the door, observing the situation inside.

The blizzard provided him with natural camouflage, covering him with a layer of white.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the broken wooden door of the tavern finally opened again.

The young scavenger who came out first, with a curious expression on his face, turned around and asked, “The horse you mentioned is here?”

“Yes.”

Accompanied by the rough male voice, the bald-headed man who had just contracted to open and close the door also walked out of the tavern: “If you need it, you can give you a discount.”

“I just need a horse.”

As the scavenger said, he happily walked to the back of the tavern.

The bald-headed man turned around and closed the door, then… drew out the short knife hung around his waist.

It’s a pity that this big guy who has been patiently lurking in the tavern for a long time, even before he can do it, the old hunter who has been hiding in the snow suddenly stood up and put a barbed arrow on the counter. On the bowstring of the bow!

——Kill him!

The moment Lin Chi started his hand, the brawny man also noticed his presence. While his huge body dodged to the right, he tried to remove the round shield behind him.

boom!

The arrows tore through the air like bullets and nailed them to the wooden walls of the tavern. The speed at which the opponent dodges made Lin Chi a little surprised.

At this moment, the strong man had already drew his short sword and rushed towards him.

The speed of this big man was completely inconsistent with his seemingly bloated body. Before Lin Chi could put away the recurve bow, he saw that the opponent had already rushed up, swinging his short sword and slashing at own head!

But before the sword could be dropped, the strong man’s right wrist was bitten by the silver wolf that shot from the side.

“what……”

The brawny man who was hindered by Lin Chi’s “pet” caused a low roar in his chest. It’s a pity that this player with strong physical attributes has obviously not learned how to deal with wolf bites.

Before that guy could break free, Lin Chi’s second arrow was already on the string, standing at a distance of less than three meters, and aimed at the opponent’s bright head.

This time, the strong man could no longer dodge.

While the Silver Wolf released his mouth and jumped backward, the bald man was shot through his forehead with an arrow from the “old hunter”. From the white snow mist.

Following this person’s death, a line of small red characters lit up in Lin Chi’s vision:

“You killed a player!”

The corpse of the bald man did not disappear immediately as in the Death competition, but continued to lie motionless in the snow, and the snow under his body slowly turned dark red.

Although he killed the enemy, Lin Chi did not relax his vigilance, but cast his vigilant gaze towards the back of the tavern where the scavenger was.

——Even if the scavengers didn’t hear the sound of the battle just now, it was too quiet behind.

When Lin Chi walked around the wooden building quickly and came to the horse stable behind the tavern, he saw a series of long footprints on the snow.

Judging from the range of steps, the scavengers obviously ran all the way and fled.

“Um?”

Seeing this scene, Lin Chi reacted almost immediately:

“That kid is really a player?”

——Although the scavenger may seem stupid, he is actually a cunning “old fritters”. This person is just planning to pretend to be a novice and lure other players hiding in the tavern to reveal their identity.

In this way, even if he did not kill the strong man himself, the scavengers should be ready to kill him…

But now, realizing that the brawny had been killed, the kid also decisively chose to escape, avoiding a head-on confrontation with the enemy.

Isn’t this kid a random character with extremely low combat effectiveness, so he can only be such a shady person, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi couldn’t help but laugh, turned and left the stable, and walked towards the own wooden house along the route he had come.

Compared to continuing to chase the escaped player, he is now more interested in the not-heavy box he just obtained.
