War Paradise

The common saying "money can make ghosts grind" is vividly reflected in the shop owner NPC who is set to only recognize money in the game.

After seeing the banknotes in Lin Chi's hand, the bookstore owner who was still disgusted with his face, suddenly seemed to have changed his person, and began to show his courtesy to him.

Lin Chi only spent more than one hundred yuan to buy a lot of ancient books that were about to become moldy, and then threw all the books with yellowed paper into the gray cloth backpack that he had just bought from the roadside stall.

Since the background story of this game map is not as "easy to understand" as the city of chaos last time, what he plans to do first is not to start killing people immediately, but to figure out the setting of this map first.

So now, Lin Chi also walked into an antique-decorated hotel on the side of the road, opened a single room, and began to read the books he had just bought from the "Cangjie Ancient Bookstore".

The candlestick on the bedside wooden cabinet gave off a leisurely light, reflecting the darkness of the bedroom. Lin Chi lay on the bed, flipped through a copy of "A Brief History of Ancient Times," and began to quickly browse the contents.

When he first opened the first page, his expression was still "lazy", and he squinted his eyes and murmured lazily:

"Oh……"

After reading a few more pages, Lin Chi's eyes suddenly widened, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared:

"Ok?"

As he continued reading, he opened his mouth slightly and made a confused voice:

"what?"

After another ten minutes, he had already entered a state of bewilderment:

"what the hell?"

——Although it has long been aware of the deviation of the world line on the map of Organ City, this unexpected development, even Lin Chi, had not thought of it before.

A small part of the records in the front of this history book are quite similar to the real ancient Chinese history: Emperor Yan Huangdi, King Wu defeated Zhou, Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms...

However, the situation has not been the same since the Three Kingdoms period.

According to this brief history, after Liu Bei's death, the military commander Zhuge Liang continued to command the Northern Expedition for the last wish of his predecessor, but he was unable to break through the defense of Wei.

As Zhuge Kongming worked harder and harder, his physical condition also deteriorated. But this time, when his life was approaching the end, he did not think of a way to extend his life. Instead, he tried his best to make a great invention that changed history through studying the ancient mechanism techniques handed down by the Mohist school and public losers:

This invention is also known as the Feng Shui engine.

Lin Chi originally thought that the "feng shui engine" was something like a magic-driven mechanism. But according to the records in this history book, Feng Shui engine is not an ordinary mechanism, but an ancient computer made of bronze, silk and sandalwood!

Although the Feng Shui engine at the beginning can only perform the simplest addition calculations, it is basically no better than the abacus, but with the continuous improvement of later craftsmen, its size has begun to shrink and its functions have become more and more powerful.

Today, Feng Shui engine has become a "microcomputer" no less than modern computers, which can be built into various machines and puppets!

Since there is no radio equipment in this world line, the long-distance communication carried out by people here is done by borrowing the "spider web" buried underground to connect the entire city.

By sensing the weak vibration of the silk thread, the Feng Shui engine can restore the voice of the other party, and even through the shadow shape cast inside, reproduce the other party's appearance on another screen, completing an incredible "video call."

In other words, China on the world line has not been industrialized, it has skipped a historical stage and forcibly entered the information age!

As for the energy used by people in this era, in addition to wood and coal, mainly wind and water energy. The blade turntable installed in the River of Death is not just a machine used to kill people, but also a simple "hydroelectric generator."

With the continuous development of mechanism skills, puppets have also begun to become commonplace. The craftsmen installed small feng shui engines in the puppet's body. These feng shui engines manipulated the wooden joints and silk threads in the puppet to make the puppet perform specified actions. This is also the principle of operation of the puppet guards on the street.

"Nima, this black technology can only be done in the game..." Lin Chi sighed with emotion.

Even he did not expect the science and technology tree of this world to be crooked like this.

Since he still didn't know what was going on on the other side of the river, he continued to read the following, about the Greek country on the other side of the river:

According to the description of historical books, the science and technology tree of ancient Greece is also very crooked. The shift of their technology tree started from Archimedes' discovery of the use of solar energy through research...

As the technological trees of ancient China and Greece shifted, the two countries quickly completed their unification, and then began to expand rapidly at the same time in the 251st year of the Gregorian calendar, which is about 500 AD.

Relying on "black technology" beyond the level of contemporary technology, they swept many countries along the way, until the army of these two countries encountered in the office city.

Two extremely powerful armies fought a desperate battle along the river.

The war lasted for three years, and both sides lost a huge number of soldiers, but still failed to decide the victory or defeat. In the end, the two countries could only negotiate peace, and with the river as the boundary, a new border was drawn.

As each other was guarding against each other, both countries also started to build new fortress cities along the river.

After decades, this deserted river beach has developed into a prosperous metropolis. This is the game map-"Organization City"!

After finishing reading this incredible "history book" in half an hour, Lin Chi put down the damp pages and opened the window of the hostel. Suddenly a howling cold wind mixed with snowflakes pounced into the house.

"Should some players be assigned to the opposite Greek control zone, right?"

Lin Chi squinted his eyes and stared at the blurry Greek city in the distance.

In his opinion, the players who enter this map should be randomly assigned to both sides of the river bank. If they were born on this side, then it would be completely meaningless to design the Greek city on the opposite bank.

So here comes the question-how do players cross the river where the giant "meat grinder" is installed?

It seems that the two cities facing each other across the river are completely disconnected from each other. However, the technology and architectural styles of the two sides have also "comprehensed" a lot, which is obviously the result of mutual spy investigations.

However, if the players can't cross the river at all, then this deathmatch, I am afraid that the winner will never be determined.

In other words, maybe you can find secret passages and other things to allow yourself to go to the Greek city on the other side of the river?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi closed the window and stuffed "A Brief History of Ancient Times" into his backpack. Then he left the hotel and started looking for a weapon shop along the way.

According to his speculation, there should also be a mechanism similar to "full-band scanning" in this map, and the battle between players will probably officially begin at dawn.

Before that, it's time to buy some reliable weapons and hire a few guards by the way.
