56 Ruler of the Dark Tower
In the face of Lin Chi's questioning, the executioner still sat calmly at the table, without the slightest intention of resisting:
"I don't understand what you're saying. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Then I'll get straight to the point." Lin Chi walked into the bedroom of this leader-level NPC and put the muzzle of the gun on the back of the other party's head: "I was still wondering before, how could these killers come so coincidentally. You must have informed them, right? β
Lin Chi had always been very concerned about how he inexplicably completed the "pre-task" of this boss battle without making a special move.
At that time, he was still fighting, and he didn't have time to think about it. But after the battle, it only takes a little thought, and the truth immediately emerges.
If the quest is triggered when you step into the Dark Tower, then you probably haven't found the executioner yet, and you will go straight to the boss battle.
- The so-called pre-mission is not to step into the Dark Tower, but to "talk to fellow prisoners" itself!
In this way, there is no need to guess who the "manager" mentioned in the boss's profile and the "prison warden" in the mouth of the guards are.
"Calm down." Said the executioner.
Even if the opponent held a gun to his head, this leader-level NPC still did not resist, but slowly raised his hands and put on a surrender posture. And added: "Don't kill me." β
"Are you really a boss......
In the face of this kind of "leader" who was extremely painful, Lin Chi also felt powerless, but he lowered his voice and reminded: "Do you want to continue fighting?" The killer you sent is no match for me at all. β
For him, as long as he enters the limit state and kills the remaining six killers, it is a piece of cake at all. However, if you continue to use that trick, I'm afraid you'll have a headache for a while after quitting the game.
The executioner nodded, "I know they don't have a chance of winning. β
As he spoke, the decadent-looking man waved his right hand slightly.
As he moved, there was a sudden scream from the second floor of the Dark Tower, and then ......
Lin Chi was surprised to find that a kill prompt appeared directly in his sight:
The boss battle "Killer" has ended, and it took six minutes and seven seconds.
Congratulations to the player "Reverse Current" for breaking the record for the fastest kill of this boss! You have received the achievement "I alone am an army!" β
You have earned $50,000, 100 prestige, and 100 Domination points.
ββ¦β¦β
Realizing that the executioner had killed the boss with a wave of his hand, Lin Chi asked in surprise, "What did you do?" β
"Just keep them out of the way." The executioner explained.
ββIt seems that this person used some kind of authority to directly kill the boss he sent. In this way, this guy shouldn't just be a heroic NPC, but ......
"You're an administrator?" Lin Chi's eyes curved into a dangerous arc.
According to what he saw before, in the game "War Paradise", even heroic NPCs will not have the permission to kill other NPCs in seconds. If you can really wave your hand and directly kill people, Blackbeard and Satya don't have to run around hard.
Generally speaking, if you can have this kind of permission in the game, you are at least a GM.
But if this product is really a GM, how can you set yourself as an NPC and add it to the game map?
"I'm not an administrator, I'm just the 'leader' of this prison." The executioner replied.
"And how did you kill those killers?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.
"I planted bombs on them."
"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Chi's gun was still pressed against the other party's head: "You'd better explain." β
Ever since he entered the game, he has always had doubts about the strange behavior and game mechanics of the NPCs in the game.
It seems that some of the NPCs in the game do have their own independent will, as advertised. And a few of them have even understood that they are nothing more than "game characters"!
He remembered that Blackbeard and Satya had said "we can't be as free as you," and the two men were clearly aware of something.
Even Lin Chi, who is a professional gamer, is the first time he has encountered this kind of thing. After all, in the previous brain imaging games, most of the NPCs were mentally retarded characters, which simply did not reach the intelligence level of these people in "War Paradise".
ββFrom the perspective of NPC IQ, the game I am playing has undoubtedly made history!
Thinking of this, Lin Chi immediately asked his most curious question:
"You already know who you are, don't you?"
"Maybe." The executioner's answer was vague.
"What are you talking about?" The girl's childish voice came from the door, and she heard the conversation between the two of them, but she didn't understand what they meant.
"Adults talk, children don't interject." Lin Chi didn't have time to explain to the girl at all.
"Cut ......"
The girl snorted a little dissatisfied, but left the place in front of the door.
Seeing the girl leaving, Lin Chi shook the gun in his hand and cast a dangerous gaze on the blonde who was lying motionless on the bed, as if she was stunned: "It's better to say it quickly, I'm a little impatient." β
"Don't threaten me with that woman, she's inflatable." The executioner said listlessly.
"You're really rightly out of order."
Lin Chi glanced at the woman as he spoke, and found that the material on her body was indeed not quite the same as human skin.
This level of realism can only be seen in the game. However, now is not the time to think about it......
Lin Chi was about to continue asking questions, but the executioner finally spoke slowly:
"You're right, I do know who I am, and I know you're an outsider."
This was the second time Lin Chi had heard the word "outsider", and he knew that this should be what the NPCs in the game called the players.
He was about to continue to ask the executioner about the truth of this game world, only to hear the other party say slowly: "I know that I may only be a virtual creature that can only exist in this world, but aren't you the same?" β
"What do you mean by that?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.
"You outsiders, like me, can only feel the outside through the five senses, but as far as I know, the five senses of human beings should be tampered with by stimulating the brain and central nervous system." At this point, the executioner's voice suddenly lowered: "Then how do you confirm that you are 'real' and not in a created world like me?" β
Hearing this, Lin Chi was also silent for a moment, closed his eyes and thought for two seconds, and then-
"Less nonsense, I don't want to discuss philosophical issues right now."
Seeing that he failed to change the topic, the executioner sighed helplessly: "Okay, what do you want to know?" β
"Are all 'people' in this world as conscious as you are?" Lin Chi asked.
"I don't have the authority to answer this question."
"Where is the caretaker of this world?"
"I don't have the authority to answer this question."
"What's the origin of the man in the cloak who took the prisoner away?"
"I don't have the authority to answer this question."
After asking three questions and getting the same answer, Lin Chi couldn't help but hold his forehead depressedly: "Don't you even have the authority to go to the toilet?" β
"Yes." The executioner nodded immediately.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Chi almost shook his hand and shot off the executioner's head, and said in a low voice: "You are ruthless...... I want to know, what exactly do you have? β
"I'm in charge of handing out the quests in the Dark Tower, as well as triggering boss battles."
Speaking of this, the executioner simply lay on the table, as if he had given up on treatment: "Actually, this position is boring, always repeating a cycle, I've had enough...... That's why your battle ended early. β
"Under normal circumstances, you still have to send me a task?" Lin Chi asked curiously.
"Indeed, there are still a few more tasks." The executioner waved his hand weakly: "I see that you seem to be as 'lazy' as me, so just end it directly......"
Before the words fell, a few lines of prompts suddenly lit up in Lin Chi's field of vision:
Start Mission: Warden of the Dark Tower.
Mission "Warden of the Dark Tower" completed! You have earned $5,000, 20 prestige, and 20 Domination points.
Start Mission: Prison Escape.
Mission "Prison Escape" completed! You have earned $10,000, 30 prestige, and 30 dominance points.
Start Mission: Eradicate the Mole.
The quest "Eradication of the Mole" has been completed! You have earned $15,000, 40 prestige, and 40 dominance points.
"I'll go, it's a quest chain......"
Looking at the large list of prompts that popped up in front of him, Lin Chi's eyes widened slightly:
He knew that if the executioner didn't have the authority to complete these tasks directly, he would probably have to explore the Dark Tower for half a day before he could complete this seemingly troublesome task chain!
With the completion of this series of tasks, he has gained a lot of money, plus the $50,000 he got after fighting the boss, he is finally not as destitute as he was when he first entered prison.
"So, can I recruit you now?" Lin Chi asked.
It stands to reason that after this quest chain is completed, he should be able to recruit executioners.
But this listless NPC obviously has no intention of responding to the call.
"I'm going to sleep." The executioner yawned.
"Are you so dedicated?" Lin Chi shook his head helplessly.
Now, no matter what the NPC says, he won't be surprised anymore......
"I don't want to fight right now." The executioner said, "But I can give you a better reward." β
"What reward?"
"At the end of this mission, you can choose two rewards, one of which is to recruit me and my men, but the other reward is more helpful to you."
After speaking, the executioner took out a tattered red cloth from his jacket pocket and placed it on the table:
"Pick it up, you'll understand."
Hearing this, Lin Chi reached out to hold the red cloth suspiciously, and what appeared in his sight was not an introduction to the item, but an unexpected prompt:
The quest "Ruler of the Dark Tower" has been completed!
You can now use the Dark Tower as your new base and send any prisoner in it to use as your own men.
