In this realistic war game, only I understand the course of the battle.

[Bounty: The truth behind the Battle of Baigou River. I'll exchange all my honor points for it.]

Very few people responded to the bounty, and no one could give a convincing answer to Lone Wolf.

On the day of the Baigou River settlement, this person directly questioned in the public channel whether Wending and Shan Hai Jing had joined forces to set up a scheme, and specifically named and cursed the two guilds for joining forces to harvest casual players.

I didn't expect him to still be so serious about it, but it also shows that he's not a bad person and has a stubborn streak that doesn't believe in evil.

It seems that he is not only not a guild player, but also hates guilds to the core.

Even if I said something to him in a private chat, no one would believe me if he spread it around.

Shen Du clicked on Lone Wolf's profile picture and sent him a private message.

[Classic of Mountains and Seas - Taotie]: "I know the truth."

After sending the message, Shen Du received a reply from the other party within seconds.

[Lone Wolf]: "Taotie? You're the Taotie from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

[Lone Wolf]: "As a core member of the Classic of Mountains and Seas guild, why can't you ask for information within your own guild instead of coming to me?"

[Classic of Mountains and Seas - Taotie]: "I am not actually a person from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. I just got lucky and reaped the credit by following Prince Yan, Zhu Di."

That's half true and half false.

Upon hearing this, Lone Wolf understood immediately; he had previously suspected Taotie's identity as well.

After all, even if he really was a person from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, his words in the public chat tarnished the reputation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

[Lone Wolf]: "What about that wind over the Baigou River?"

[Classic of Mountains and Seas - Taotie]: "It was indeed an accident."

The lone wolf remained silent for a long while.

【Lone Wolf】: "I wouldn't believe you if someone else said that, but I believe the ID 'Classic of Mountains and Seas - Taotie'."

I currently have 150 honor points, I'll transfer them all to you right away.

[Classic of Mountains and Seas - Taotie]: "Keep your honor points for yourself. I only have three questions to ask."

Lone Wolf: "Are you serious?"

【Classic of Mountains and Seas - Taotie】: "Seriously".

Shen Du didn't type immediately; he hesitated for a moment before typing out the first question.

【Classic of Mountains and Seas - Taotie】: "First question, are there any superpowers in this game? Like those who can fly, disappear into the ground, or split city walls with a wave of their hand?"

[Lone Wolf]: "You, someone with an S-rank achievement, come asking me if I have supernatural abilities?"

[Lone Wolf]: "No, at least not in this instance."

I once entered a dungeon where there was a character named Zhang Jiao, who was known as the Great Teacher of Virtue. He used talismanic water to cure diseases, and his reputation was legendary. However, Guangzong City was still burned down by Huangfu Song's fire.

If he could really summon heavenly lightning, he would have already struck down those tens of thousands of government troops outside the city.

As for players, the strongest I've ever seen is someone who trains their physical body to the point where they can wear triple armor and wield a spear to break through enemy lines.

"You can't talk about flying through the clouds or tearing apart city walls with your bare hands; those are things that don't exist."

Shen Du breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing these words.

[Classic of Mountains and Seas - Taotie]: "Second question. What's the use of reputation points?"

Lone Wolf: "You haven't used it yet?"

[Classic of Mountains and Seas - Taotie]: "Haven't had time to deal with it yet."

[Lone Wolf]: "You're not a newbie, are you? You have unlimited potential!"

[Lone Wolf]: "Honor points can unlock many things."

For example, the unique effects of special weapons, rare skills, and mysterious items.

The more powerful the effect, the more honor points are required to unlock and upgrade it.

Some items with powerful effects require an enormous amount of honor points to unlock.

Some are only valid in the current instance, while others can be carried over to the next instance.

But there is one ironclad rule: when someone dies, everything is wiped out.

Everything you accumulate in the dungeon, whether for this game or permanently, is wiped out the moment your character dies.

[Classic of Mountains and Seas - Taotie]: "Are skills and titles also exchanged using reputation points?"

Lone Wolf: "Not necessarily."

Some titles are automatically unlocked by the system after meeting certain conditions and do not consume reputation points.

Shen Du then remembered that the title "Slaughterer on the Baigou River" had indeed popped up automatically during the settlement, without costing him any reputation points.

He hadn't had time to examine its additional effects in detail, probably because he hadn't unlocked them yet.

[Classic of Mountains and Seas - Taotie]: "Third question. Do you know which defenses players participated in in Dezhou and Jinan?"

The message was sent out, but it disappeared without a trace.

Shen Du waited for a while before a new line of text appeared on the screen.

[Lone Wolf]: "I can't answer that question. On one hand, I don't know either, and on the other hand, even if I told you, it wouldn't be of much use. I can only say that there is currently a large army in Texas."

Shen Du's earlier thoughts were indeed correct.

Many players followed Li Jinglong south to Dezhou after Baigou River.

The Wending Guild is estimated to have actively participated in the defense of Jinan and Dezhou as well.

The input prompt on Lone Wolf's screen flashed several times before finally sending a message.

【Lone Wolf】: "Taotie, thank you for giving me the truth today, which has relieved me of a worry, and you didn't even ask for my reputation points. Whether you think it's too little or not, I owe you a favor."

However, even if I knew about the defense deployment, I couldn't tell you. When the system determines that a battle has taken place, all public channels and private chats are disabled until the battle is over.

But I have a piece of advice for you—just don't easily reveal your player identity. Never.

Lone Wolf:

"First, when a player kills another player, they will receive the other player's entire reputation points, as well as rare items and weapons as a reward."

Second, NPCs aren't stupid. They're almost identical to real people.

If you do something out of place in front of NPCs, they won't think you're "doing a quest"; they'll think you're crazy.

At best, they would be flogged and driven away; at worst, they would be beheaded on the spot on the grounds of insanity.

In this game, more players are executed by NPCs than are killed by other players.

Third, some players aren't after reputation points or faction quests; they just enjoy killing other players.

You can never guess which seemingly insignificant soldier you encounter in the city will be this kind of person.

Don't give them a chance.

Shen Du stared at the text on the screen; these words didn't seem to have been made up on the spot.

"Damn, it seems every game has this kind of weirdness."

Especially in the world of Command & Conquer, where death means account deletion, the thrill these people derive is even greater.

[Classic of Mountains and Seas - Taotie]: "You speak as if you've experienced it firsthand."

[Lone Wolf]: "I was about to win a dungeon, but someone's words ruined it."

[Classic of Mountains and Seas - Taotie]: "Hey, if I die, I'll just create a new account and start over. What's the big deal?"

Shen Du had just finished typing that sentence when he suddenly realized something.

You've traveled from another world into this game, while others can create new accounts and start over.

But if I die in this game, where will I go?

Shen Du quickly organized his thoughts and asked the fourth question.
