Chapter 74 Unexpected Discovery
Qi Lin looked at the girl's body in shock and fell backwards. He was stunned for a long time before he put on a sentence: "This fool..."
"System Announcement: The First Wasteland Survival Grand Prix ended successfully! Winner: Player 9527!"
The system kept browsing world announcements, and the players seemed to be in a frenzy on the World Channel. Some lost bets and kept cursing, some technical party analyzed Qi Lin's tactics, and some simply sighed... But the most was the olive branch to Qi Lin by representatives of various forces.
However, Qi Lin had no idea at this moment. He just lay on the street with his back, pillowing his hands behind his head, and staring straight at the large radiant clouds floating around in the sky.
Qi Lin is really tired. Whether it is physical or mental, in this high-intensity deathmatch, he has to keep thinking, fighting, and making choices every second...
The mental overdrawn, coupled with the feeling of fatigue that surges after the effect of the stimulant medicine has passed...
With the end of the game, the blocked area was also lifted. A team of soldiers wearing Thunder City Guard uniforms, fully armed soldiers soon appeared in front of Qi Lin. Along with them, there was an old face that Qi Lin knew - Bryce.
When Bryce saw Qi Lin, his first sentence was: "I really didn't expect you to win the final victory."
"Me too."
"This is the winner's prize, and the bounty of Crain has been transferred to your personal account by the master's brain the moment you kill him."
After saying that, Bryce slid his finger and the huge sum of 200,000 points was cut to Qi Lin's name. At the same time, a soldier walked up with a password suitcase made of metal.
Qi Lin glanced at the soldier. Although it seemed that the soldier was no different from an ordinary player, his expression was quite silly. The id on his head was not the unique id that belonged to the player, but the "Thunder City Guard Soldier".
"NPC soldier?" Qi Lin asked. He knew that people with high authority could exchange resources points for various things on the main brain. Except for the firearms and vehicles in the hands of players in the rich areas at the beginning of the game, food, materials, NPC servants, and even "Heart of the City". As long as your authority is high enough, as long as your resource points are enough, it is not a problem.
This game is like the real world, and there is never any fairness.
"Yes, NPC soldiers are easy to manage and obey orders, and there will be no unnecessary thoughts." Bryce said casually.
Qi Lin thought about it and even the Heart of the City said that he would buy it. Hiring a group of NPC soldiers is not a big deal for people like Thunder.
"Okay, now we are two living people here. Can you tell me who did it?"
Qi Lin’s implication was very clear. He wanted to know who set up this death race and who did not want to get e-level serum.
"I'm sorry, I can't say it for some special reasons, but I can tell you that this is definitely not the original intention of the City Lord. The City Lord did not know anything related to this death match in advance." Bryce said with his eyes drooping and staring at his instep.
"...I know it's not Thunder, is that his son, or a woman? Or... a relative?"
"I can't disclose..."
"You don't need to disclose it, just tell me, I guessed it right or wrong."
This time, Bryce didn't speak, so he barely agreed to Qi Lin's intention.
"I knew that you rich families are just too busy... Forget it, as long as that person doesn't come to cause trouble for me next time, give me the serum. I haven't been offline for a few days. I'm in a hurry to go offline and take a shower. After getting so much money, it's time to have a good meal."
At Bryce's gesture, the soldier carrying the suitcase entered a string of passwords and opened the suitcase. He saw a needle tube and a thumb-sized piece of Hetian jade lying quietly on the foam pad in the box. There were complex carvings on the jade block.
"What is this?" Qi Lin picked up the jade block and put it in front of him. The carvings on the jade block were very exquisite. Obviously, this was a rare work of art... However, for Qi Lin, the artwork was worthless at all, not to mention that the price of this jade block is far less than an e-level serum.
"A promise, the excess e-level serum, now there is only one in Thunder's inventory. The city lord is willing to compensate you with a promise. As long as you take this token and go to the city lord at any time, he can meet your reasonable request." Bryce said.
"Reasonable request? Can he give me Thunder City?" Qi Lin said with a smile, squinted.
A promise that such compensation can be big or small, he wanted to know what the meaning of Thunder this time.
"Yes." Bryce nodded, and then said, "You can ask the city lord to give you Thunder City, but you must take over as the city lord and become an external member of the organization."
"What organization? Is the consortium alliance?" Qi Lin was stunned and asked.
"No, and I can't tell you any information about the organization before you join." Bryce said firmly.
"Forget it, I'm not interested. I'm used to freedom. As for this promise, I'll keep it. When I have a need, I won't be polite to Thunder."
After putting the jade block close to it, Qi Lin took the serum and took a look. This was the serum of an e-level color-changing monster lizard. The ancestor of this creature was a chameleon that was very common in the old era, but compared to a chameleon, the color-changing monster lizard was much stronger.
"Okay, both money and goods are cleared." Qi Lin nodded with satisfaction.
"The city lord said, let you consider whether you are willing to play for him. Now your value is different, so we will naturally give the corresponding one..."
Before Bryce finished speaking, he found that Qi Lin's figure had slowly faded until he disappeared - this guy, after counting the spoils, he actually went offline.
...
Refuge No. 187.
Qi Lin, who had been lying in the game cabin for several days, suddenly opened his eyes, and then a strong sense of hunger surged up - Qi Lin had not consumed any water and food for so many days, and all relied on the nutrient solution injected in the game cabin for a living. Although the nutrient solution can provide energy to maintain the life cycle, it cannot satisfy the empty stomach and intestines and the burning throat.
Qi Lin climbed up from the game cabin with great effort. He saw at a glance that someone had left him a large cup of water. Without thinking, he grabbed it and poured it into half a cup.
The clear liquid flowed through his throat, and Qi Lin felt as if he had come alive, but at this time, his stomach started to scream in disgrace...
Looking around, it was now at one o'clock in the morning. Xiao Lei was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. He kicked the thin quilt to the ground. The gaming cabin belonging to Song Xiaodie was closed with a hatch cover, and several indicator lights showing the status flashed back and forth.
"I hope these two people will remember to buy some food these days. If they don't buy it, they can only eat synthetic food..." Although Qi Lin did not refuse synthetic food, he still couldn't be the same as the ascetic monk. If he could eat meat, he would definitely hope to eat meat.
Qi Lin turned over and crawled out of the game cabin and walked to a corner in the room where the daily necessities were piled up.
There is a large wooden box in the corner, which was picked up by Qi Lin from outside a year ago. After a little repair, it was transformed into a food cabinet.
Qi Lin opened the box and found that there were two cans on the top layer. There was a note of paper pressed under the can. There were several beautiful small words on the note: "If you wake up, remember to heat it up."
"Oh, it's still a girl who has a conscience. If Xiao Lei had definitely not left canned food for herself..."
Qi Lin picked up the can and was about to heat it up, but suddenly, an idea appeared in his mind, making him froze in place as if struck by lightning.
There was no light on in the room, and there was no other light source in this underground shelter... But why did he see everything as clearly as in the sun?
In the game, it was because he inherited the night vision ability of Ghost Falcon, so Qi Lin got used to the night like during the day. This made him not realize that something was wrong immediately after leaving the game.
Could it be... the abilities in the game can be brought into reality? Isn't this too fantasy?
Qi Lin took a look at the not-so-advanced gaming cabin in surprise and decided to do an experiment to verify his guess.
He found a small sharp iron piece and a small roll of bandage, then stretched out the index finger of his left hand, and used the iron piece to cut a gap that was neither deep nor shallow.
The blood beads immediately oozed out, but after two or three drops of blood beads were oozed out, there was no more questioning, and a numb and itchy feeling came from the wound.
Qi Lin immediately wiped off the blood beads, and then he realized that the wound had scabbed!
"The rapid recovery ability of the Corpse King gene..."
Qi Lin can basically be sure that the abilities in the game can really be brought into reality!
Although it is not 100% replication, Qi Lin cannot summon the "Bone Blade" and the "Eagle Eye" cannot be activated, but the night vision ability and rapid recovery alone are already considered extremely amazing.
You know, I have never injected any serum in reality, I have just been lying in the game cabin for hundreds of hours...
Or is this the original intention of the Shelter Master’s mandate to implement this game? It is to transform all the residents in the Shelter into evolutionists and then regain the surface that humans have lost for three years?
