War Paradise

Chapter 4 The correct way to play sandbox games

Seeing the other party's huge figure from far to near, Lin Chi, who was standing on the steps, narrowed his eyes slightly.

——This guy is obviously an NPC. Moreover, it should be here to send the task.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi's brows unconsciously appeared a few wrinkles.

Of course he knew that Daoist was not to be seen, but that was in the real world. Many of the NPCs in the game have characteristics that can be inferred from their appearance.

What's more, there are some guys who are more Damn it...

Thinking of the NPCs who had gnashed their teeth that players hated in the brain-imaging role-playing game, Lin Chi felt helpless.

According to his experience, there are two types of NPCs that disgust players in role-playing games——

Lin Chi was thinking about it. Fatty in a suit and shoes had already stood in front of him and said straightforwardly:

"Boy, are you the champion of this ghost place? I have a ‘dirty job’ here and I’m well paid. Can you help me?"

Immediately afterwards, in front of Lin Chi's eyes, a prompt that only he could see appeared again:

Start the mission: kill people and kill them.

"Is the name of this task a bit too straightforward?" Lin Chi complained.

Before he finished his words, the two bodyguards behind Fatty had already stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right. The two dark silhouettes were full of pressure, and there was a full of threatening aura between their gestures.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chi frowned again and was about to ask the other party about the details of the mission. He saw Fatty curl his lips in disdain, and slowly said: "You have to understand, shit, you have no right to refuse. I am not. I'm reasoning with you..."

"The first type." Lin Chi sighed.

"What did you say?" Fatty asked.

"It's okay." Lin Chi shook his head.

——In the game, there are two kinds of NPCs that will make the player feel disgusted. The first of them is the plot characters who have a strange attitude towards the player.

No one likes to be humiliated while playing games. In a near-real brain imaging game, this kind of disgust can be ascension several times.

However, in some games, even NPCs that cannot be skipped in the main storyline will verbally attack the player and may even beat the player.

The most depressing thing is that as long as this kind of NPC is judged by the system as a "friend camp", even if the players hate their teeth, there is nothing to do with them. They can only swear and complete their assigned tasks.

However, in a sandbox game like "War Paradise", there may be other solutions.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi suddenly said, "Shall we go and talk later?"

While speaking, he pointed his finger at the unmanned alley behind the black metal building of the arena, shrouded in shadow.

"What do you mean?" Fatty's small eyes narrowed.

Lin Chi could see that the IQ level of this NPC was indeed higher than those of the audience in the arena, but it was not much higher. This kind of trap, which is obvious to humans, is completely invisible to him.

As for the two bodyguards next to them, they are more similar to the existence of mental retardation. In such a conversation, you don't need to care about them at all.

"If you need to kill someone, I have a weapon here I want to show you. It's not very convenient on the street." Lin Chi explained.

Fatty nodded almost immediately, led the own two bodyguards, turned and walked towards the empty corner behind the arena.

——This kind of crappy lie that would be instantly dismantled by humans with normal intelligence has become a "justified and well-founded" reason for the NPC.

Realizing this, Lin Chi didn't say anything, just stretched his right hand under the gray cloak and silently grasped the cold pistol handle.

Follow Fatty and the two bodyguards to the end of the dark alley behind the arena where no one will notice. The fat man in the suit said, "Two days ago, a slum-born bastard killed one of my bodyguards and took his gun. I have no face. All you have to do is kill her. ..."

"Oh oh." Lin Chi pretended to listen carefully, looking for a time to do it.

When he killed the boxer just now, he had noticed that there was no exact damage figure in "War Paradise", and the damage calculation rules were not like games, but rather similar to the real world.

Now the own pistol proficiency is 1, and there are five bullets left. Although the proficiency is really low, it should still be able to hit within a distance of less than three meters.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi lowered his head and looked at the hands of the two bodyguards behind him and the pistol holsters hung around their waists.

Then, he silently started the countdown:

Three, two, one.

Do it!

At that moment, this old player who had experienced many battles moved like a godly aid, and drew his spear at lightning speed!

boom!

A shot smashed the head of the bodyguard standing on the left, and Lin Chi's right hand was numb with recoil. His power attribute is completely enough to use a pistol, but his low proficiency makes it difficult to shoot.

"what!"

Witnessing the bodyguard being killed, the fat man screamed in horror and started to run backwards. The other bodyguard quickly drew his pistol and aimed at Lin Chi's chest!

Seeing that the opponent was about to resist, Lin Chi, who was too late to aim, fired three shots, and the other bodyguard who stood in front of him fell down with blood.

At this time, Fatty had run ten meters and was about to rush to the street.

"He is going to call the police."

Realizing that the situation was not good, Lin Chi held the handle of the pistol with both hands, aimed at the opponent's unsuspecting back in a standard shooting posture, and without hesitation, pulled the trigger again and fired the last remaining bullet.

The gun was shot crooked without any suspense.

"Damn proficiency." Lin Chi cursed, turned to look at the ground beside him, and immediately found a usable weapon.

Bending down to pick up a dark red object by the wall, he lowered his figure and rushed towards Fatty's escape.

At the same time, his inventory popped up in his field of vision, and a series of prompts appeared:

Slabs.

Melee weapons (can be thrown).

Item level: Normal.

General-purpose weapon, can be used without proficiency. Requires minimum strength value: 7. The strength value required to reach the maximum attack power: 12.

"Plate is a civilian weapon that can be seen everywhere, and it can exert great lethality in the hands of masters. It can be said to be a must-have for home travel. Bricks are in hand, I have the world!"

Without time to pay attention to the item introduction, Lin Chi, relying on his higher physical attributes than ordinary people, rushed behind Fatty in three steps and two steps, lifting a brick and smashing it into the opponent's skull.

With a crisp sound, the battle is over.

Throwing away the blood-stained bricks, Lin Chi looked around, and after confirming that his actions had not been seen by others, he began to check the results of the battle:

Except for pistol proficiency reaching 2 points, other attributes have not changed at all. And the previous task named "Killing People and Killing the Mouth" has also changed from a yellow complete state to a gray uncompleted state.

However, to Lin Chi, who didn't want to take on this task, this kind of thing was completely irrelevant.

"This is the correct way to play a sandbox game." He laughed.

After groping on Fatty's body, he found three thousand dollars in cash and a car key. In addition, there is a blurry photo.

——In this way, there is no punishment for killing the NPC in "War Paradise", but you can also search for loot.

However, things should not be so simple.

Lin Chi knows very well that if there is really no penalty for killing NPCs, players can make a fortune by slaughtering NPCs madly, and the difficulty is too low.

In this kind of open world game, killing will have a punishment mechanism, for example...

Lin Chi didn't have time to go back and search for the bodies of the two bodyguards. From the alley in front of him, there were messy footsteps and a gloomy male voice:

"I heard the gunshot just now, right here!"

Before he could finish his words, he saw three flat-headed men wearing long black trench coats and sunglasses appearing at the entrance of the alley, staring at each other.

Dark blue epaulettes hung from the shoulders of these people's clothes, and the epaulettes were painted with rough shield patterns. Their right hands were pressed on the holsters around their waists, and they were obviously ready to draw their guns.

At the same time, in the upper right corner of Lin Chi's field of vision, two purple four-pointed stars appeared continuously, and they were also very intimately explained in text beside them:

You have reached the Wanted Index 2. City guards are trying to arrest you, they may use lethal force.

"I admit, you are still stronger now..." Lin Chi whispered.

Then he picked up the brick at his feet.
