Beng Tie: What does it mean to broaden one's four destinies in one sentence?

He was still wandering around in the wind and snow, cursing as he went.

"What awful weather! My stamina keeps dropping."

He glanced at the system panel.

Stamina: 76%

[Status: Cold (Continuing to decrease)]

[Friendly reminder: Please find a warm place as soon as possible, otherwise your stamina will continue to decrease until it reaches zero.]

Lin Si sighed.

Even if he is a gaming master, he is helpless in the face of a situation where there is no map and the environment is so harsh that it keeps depleting his stamina. He can only figure it out little by little.

He looked around; all he saw was a vast expanse of white, with a howling wind, and it didn't look like there was anywhere he could find warmth.

"I need to find a place to warm up and recover my strength as soon as possible."

He randomly chose a direction and continued walking forward.

Bronya screamed in her mind: You're going the wrong way! That's an even more desolate wilderness! Beloberg is behind you! Behind you!!!

pity.

Lin Si still couldn't hear it.

He walked further and further away, further and further astray, heading towards the desolate wilderness.

Bronya was in despair.

She gave up. Whatever, let it be, she couldn't control it anyway.

at this time,

"what?"

Lin Si suddenly stopped and exclaimed in surprise.

Something seems to be moving in the snowdrift ahead?

It was a small snowdrift, buried among several rocks. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice anything unusual.

But at that moment, the snowdrift was trembling slightly.

Lin Si narrowed her eyes.

As a gaming legend, he possesses top-tier awareness of avoiding ganks.

In this desolate wilderness, in this terrible weather, a moving snowdrift suddenly appears, looking exactly like a trap.

It's possible that some kind of monster is waiting for people to get close before launching a surprise attack.

Lin Si controlled Bronya's body and tiptoed over, holding the spear in her hand, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

Closer, closer.

That snowdrift is definitely moving! There's something hidden inside!

Lin Si took a deep breath, slowly raised his spear, and poked the snowdrift with the spear blade.

The snowdrift suddenly stopped swaying.

Lin Si: "???"

He poked it again, but the snowdrift still didn't move.

He didn't believe it and poked it hard.

"what!!!"

A scream erupted from the snowdrift.

Immediately afterwards, the snowdrift exploded, and a figure darted out from inside.

Blue hair, red shirt, blue pants, and quite tall.

Lin Si subconsciously took two steps back and raised her spear, aiming it at the uninvited guest.

Then he froze.

Dude, tell me, how did such a small snowdrift perfectly conceal a man who looks to be 1.8 meters tall?

Is this reasonable?

The blue-haired man stood up straight, cursing and swearing, brushing the snow off his body as he opened his mouth to start cursing again, when he saw the muzzle of a gun pointed directly at him.

He was silent for two seconds, then slowly raised his hands.

"...No, sister, let's talk this out. Don't point a gun at me, or it might go off accidentally."

His voice had a slick, oily tone, and his face was plastered with a fawning smile.

Lin Si did not lower her gun, and asked coldly,

Who are you? What are you doing here?

The blue-haired man breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Bronya could communicate and did not intend to fire directly.

He lowered his hands, rubbed them together, and put on what he thought was a very sincere smile.

"Sister, let's talk this out, just don't resort to violence."

He shook the thing in his hand; it was a red sausage, frozen solid.

"I, Lao Sangbo, just came here to bury some red sausage. You know, red sausage tastes even better after it's frozen. Burying it in the snow and freezing it makes it taste absolutely amazing!"

He chuckled twice.

"I haven't broken any laws, have I? It's inappropriate for you to point a gun at innocent citizens in this freezing weather, isn't it?"

Lin Si narrowed her eyes upon hearing this.

Old Sambo?

This name doesn't sound like a good person.

He carefully examined the man in front of him.

She had blue hair styled in an unconventional way, wore a flashy red dress, and her waist was exposed on both sides.

Exposing your waist in this freezing weather? Is that something a normal person would do?

Coupled with his furtive behavior of hiding in the snowdrifts and his glib tongue, he seemed incredibly strange.

Lin Si's brain was working at lightning speed.

Generally speaking, the first NPC you encounter in a game will usually act as a guide or an adventure partner later on.

But this person...

He looks exactly like the kind of unscrupulous merchant who would swindle money from players in the starting village.

Or perhaps they're the kind of traitor who would stab you in the back.

As a top player in the gaming field, Lin Si has an exceptional awareness of avoiding ganks.

He decided to test the waters first to see what kind of background this old Sambo had.

"do not move!"

Lin Si pointed the gun forward, her voice cold.

"Hand over anything of value you have!"

Chapter 6: The Battle of Wits

Sambo: "......"

He remained silent for a full minute this time.

The expression on his face changed from a "flattering smile" to "Are you kidding me?" and then to "Who am I? Where am I? Am I still asleep?"

During that minute of his silence, Bronya screamed wildly in her mind.

No, are you some kind of bandit?!

Is the first thing you do when you meet a stranger to demand that they hand over their valuables?!

What are you going to do if I don't hand it over? Are you going to shoot him?!

Bronya could even foresee that if someone witnessed this scene, within a day...

A terrifying version of the story is sure to circulate among the citizens of Belleburg, both in the upper and lower districts.

"Have you heard? Lady Bronya led troops out to suppress bandits, but ended up becoming a bandit herself!"

"What? That can't be right!"

"It's true! They rob anyone they see! They shoot if you don't pay!"

"Oh my god, does that mean I'll have to pay her some protection money every time I see her?"

"Pay it, pay it. Consider it compensation for the loss of the Great Guardian's daughter's youth..."

Bronya's consciousness was trembling wildly.
