41 Black Market Encounters

A freshly built workshop cannot be effective immediately like a barracks.

Now, Lin Chi still needs to recruit some engineers and scientific and technological talents and collect a large amount of materials in order to start operating his workshop.

Since each death match is time-limited, players who have built the workshop often encounter the embarrassing situation where the workshop has not yet developed anything before it has been developed.

Because of this, building barracks is the popular way to play now, and fewer and fewer players choose to build workshops.

However, players of Lin Chi's level will naturally not be affected by the strategies made by players on the Internet.

In fact, he didn't even read the novice guide and went straight into the game. But that was not out of absolute confidence, but just being so lazy...

After checking in the workshop, Lin Chi left the crazy Evan who had just blown up and was still satisfied with the girl who had no name in the workshop. He went to the black market again based on the information he received from Greke, preparing to recruit several engineers and buy some materials.

After killing the boss in the underground warehouse, he not only obtained a lot of cash, but also obtained 100 prestige points and 100 command points. This prestige level should be more than enough to recruit engineers.

He casually grabbed a car from the street and drove to the square in the city center. Lin Chi walked into the underground bar below the mall with a familiarity, and told the beautiful waiter behind the bar, saying the new code after the replacement:

"I miss a poem."

"Gou?" The waitress raised her eyebrows.

"If you have a complete life in troubled times, you will not seek knowledge and gain success to the princes," said Lin Chi.

"Come in." The waitress opened the side door of the bar.

Through the long corridor, he entered the underground street that was as lively as ever. Lin Chi looked around and found no suspicious figures who looked like players. Then he walked into the crowd and came to the bomb shop of Crazy Rat.

At this time, the bomb shop was empty, leaving only a steel workbench, and all kinds of bombs and traps inside disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chi shook his head.

Obviously, the hero-level character "Crazy Rat" that he had not had time to recruit before was recruited by other players.

Although I don’t know who the Crazy Rat joined, Lin Chi always felt that it was Frankenstein who recruited this crazy "bomb man".

If nothing unexpected happens, the enemy that threatens you the most in this game should be the Frankenstein who is rapidly developing technology!

Thinking of this, Lin Chi left the bomb shop of Crazy Rat and continued to look for the needed materials inside the underground street:

According to the information recorded in the brochure called "Guidelines for Workshops" left by the architect before leaving, the early project in the workshop that is easiest to start production is the use of small military factories to produce ammunition.

To make ammunition, you don’t even need to hire an engineer. You just need to prepare the materials and then hire a few workers to take care of the assembly line.

So now, Lin Chi first looked for a store selling gunpowder and brass: as long as he had these two materials, the workshop could start producing bullets immediately, and he no longer had to go to the weapon store to buy ammunition.

Soon, he discovered a store with a nuclear radiation warning icon painted on the sign, called "Nuclear Energy Materials Store".

Seeing the store full of materials piled up, Lin Chi walked over quickly and told the man with a beard standing in front of the counter directly:

"Do you have gunpowder and brass here?"

"Oh, you are going to produce bullets, right? Of course we have these two materials." The owner nodded and said, "Please fill in your address and the quantity you need to buy, and we will send the materials to your house."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chi wrote the address of the safe house and the quantity of goods needed on the delivery note handed over by the store owner, and then took out 10,000 US dollars from his backpack and paid.

In fact, the ammunition produced in workshops is not much cheaper than those bought in stores, but its quality is much higher than that in weapons stores. Whether it is power or accuracy, it is much more reliable than the ammunition sold in weapons stores.

After the ammunition produced by the workshop is equipped with the mercenaries under his command, the combat effectiveness of the seven elite mercenaries will be further improved.

After purchasing the materials, Lin Chi asked casually: "Is there any rare materials in the store?"

Perhaps because his prestige is high enough, the owner's attitude is also very good, and he immediately answered this question: "There were uranium mines in the past, but you are late!"

"Who bought it?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

"It's a weird guy with bandages on his body. I can't see his face." The owner replied.

"Oh." Lin Chi nodded thoughtfully.

——It sounds like Frankenstein bought the rare materials in the store, but what did that guy buys uranium ore? Could it be that he wants to build a nuclear bomb?

Realizing that his enemy seemed to be preparing for big news, Lin Chi did not stop for much and quickly left the nuclear energy material store to continue looking for the materials and talents needed in the black market.

——After learning about the other party’s intentions, he also accelerated his movements. After all, if he continues to delay, when Frankenstein really creates a nuclear bomb, he will never be able to turn the tables again!

Ten minutes later, he spent another ten thousand dollars to hire three ammunition workers and an ordinary engineer on the black market to send the three back to the workshop.

——The amount of money hiring engineers is much more expensive than mercenaries. The three workers only cost 3,000 US dollars in total, while an ordinary engineer costs 7,000 US dollars.

It seems that taking the technology route in the game is more difficult than imagined.

Lin Chi walked to the inside of the underground street and was continuing to look for engineers to hire. Suddenly, a familiar male voice came from behind:

"team leader?"

“…”

Hearing the voices of his team members, Lin Chi turned around in surprise and saw a young man with a hedgehog head standing behind him, staring at his face curiously:

"Captain, is it you?" the young man asked.

"This voice, are you 'black fire'?" Lin Chi whispered.

He had never expected that he would meet an acquaintance from the same team in this game. However, he knew that it was normal for team members to recognize themselves at a glance. After all, when he established characters in other games, he was basically too lazy to pinch his face...

"Yes, yes, I'm Black Fire!" The young man looked very excited: "I didn't expect the captain to play this game too. I thought you were sleeping except for training..."

"I'm not too lazy to that point, thank you." Lin Chi smiled helplessly.

——The outspoken young man in front of him is the youngest member of his team, and his combat effectiveness is also the lowest level in the team. He basically belongs to a "mascot" in the team.

"Yeah, after all, you never participate in the team's offline activities. I guessed too..." Heihuo scratched his head embarrassedly, and then asked: "Captain, do you want to come to my base to see it? My safe house has just been renovated."

"Don't forget that we are still enemies now." Lin Chi said with a smile.

"Well, indeed... I'll leave first!"

Heihuo said that he was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Lin Chi.

"Wait a moment."

"Is there anything else? Captain." Heihuo looked back at him.

"It seems that this is not the first time you've played this game." Lin Chi walked forward, patted the team's "mascot" on the shoulders, and asked, "You should have heard of this player named Frankenstein, right?"

"You said Frankenstein, he is indeed very famous. It's really unlucky to get him in this order." Heihuo shook his head and sighed.

"Why do you say that?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

"The game has only been tested for a few days, and Frankenstein has become famous. There are many posts discussing him in the forum now."

Speaking of this, Heihuo suddenly lowered his voice as if he was a little scared: "It is said that 'Frankenstein' is in the game for twenty-four hours a day, and what's even more terrifying is that... he seems to have won every game he participated in."
