Secondly, Su Lin also wanted to know if these things were worth the price. What if this batch of technological equipment worth one or two million couldn't even defeat a few local mages? Su Lin felt that even if Xiao Linlin wanted to buy more next time, he wouldn't agree.
You get what you pay for. No matter how generous Su Lin is with his money, he still needs to see tangible results and returns.
"Jia Zhengyi, take a close look at the manor. Apart from the orcs... are there enough humans to complete our mission?"
"That's enough, the boss arrived quickly, not many people have died yet... With the kill efficiency of the technology equipment provided by the little girl, completing the mission shouldn't be a problem."
"Speaking of which, this girl is really meticulous. She actually knows the specific power and combat effects of all the things the boss used just now... Apparently, there was some kind of combat instruction manual when she bought them, and she thoroughly studied the manual."
Upon hearing this, Su Lin chuckled, "Did you only realize how thoughtful she is today?"
A night breeze blew in, bringing with it the strong stench of blood from the manor, causing Su Lin to squint his eyes slightly, feeling a faint sense of comfort.
Technological methods are quite expensive, but the benefits are also obvious: they allow survivors to be in a relatively safe combat position and directly enjoy the fruits of the battle.
This was the first time Su Lin had used this fighting style since entering the escape game, giving him a slight illusion of being back on a modern battlefield.
Soon, Su Lin composed himself and asked, "Jia Zhengyi, have you figured out why these orcs came here?"
"Hmm... I've been observing them for a while, but I'm not entirely sure yet. I'd guess they're after someone, right?"
“The little girl said my guess was rather vulgar, but in the information updates I’ve seen, there are indeed three people who have been fleeing from the manor… Unlike the other humans who fled because the manor was burning, they have been hiding inside the manor.”
"It's because the way they escaped was so strange that I suspect they must have attracted the orcs."
Jia Zhengyi paused for a moment, then suddenly spoke up: "Boss, are you interested in this? If we want to find out the truth, we need to find a way to save those people, otherwise, with your indiscriminate and all-encompassing attacks, they'll most likely die inside."
"Not interested, ignore it."
Su Lin shook his head. He couldn't be bothered with the petty squabbles among the NPCs. Whatever their family feuds or national grudges, as long as it didn't affect his escape or profits, he would kill them all!
Even if we assume there's some shady dealing or small gain involved, Su Lin isn't interested.
This war game involves 10 phased missions, which is enough to give Su Lin a headache. While doing the missions, he also has to search for high-value areas all over the world, so he really doesn't have the energy to do anything extra.
"Alright, then kill them all... By the way, boss, how about something more exciting?"
While observing the manor, Jia Zhengyi chatted with Su Lin and suddenly excitedly suggested, "I'll give you a location; you can attack those orcs from a distance! It'll be like playing whack-a-mole, it'll be so much fun!"
"How do you want me to fight?"
Su Lin touched his waist: "Sword control?"
"Flying on a sword is fine, or anything else is fine... I just feel like we're just killing time anyway, so we can take this opportunity to practice some new combinations."
Jia Zhengyi said enthusiastically, "I've been thinking about this for the past two days. I think my role in the team shouldn't be limited to just information positioning, right? With our combat strength and capabilities, I could definitely help the boss build a combat radar!"
"Boss, do you know what an AWACS aircraft is? In modern warfare, AWACS aircraft are also information points, used to locate the enemy, guide weapons, and conduct beyond-visual-range combat!"
"Look, isn't our system a perfect fit for this tactic? I'll position you, you strike from the far end... and if it's even further, we have the all-around expert, she's practically a born long-range combat genius!"
Jia Zhengyi started talking again, but what he said really piqued Su Lin's interest.
He even heard Xiao Linlin exclaim in his earpiece, "Wow, Brother Jia has finally figured it out! He's actually going to play beyond line of sight!"
"Hey, you brat! Are you mocking me?!"
"No, no, I'm just being sincere in my praise. Brother Jia actually thought of things I hadn't thought of... Seriously though, it's definitely worth a try."
"Boss! Listen, listen! The little girl agrees with us doing this... I mean, not doing it, we're testing new combat methods!"
Jia Zhengyi spoke with righteous indignation: "As the boss's followers increase, we must master a more complex combat system that is diversified, versatile, and adaptable! Only then can we ensure that the boss's winning streak continues uninterrupted!"
"Okay, let's give it a try."
Su Lin nodded, but Xiao Linlin's voice suddenly came through the earpiece: "Brother! Why don't you let sister try? She's been wanting to help you... but since you didn't ask, we can't just step in."
"Is it convenient for her to make the move? Will the people in the city discover the shady dealings?"
Su Lin pondered for a moment and asked, and Xiao Linlin replied, "An NPC just came by. They wanted to ask you for help to go to the manor. The patrolmen have already returned to the city and brought back the message. The rescue team in the city will be setting off soon."
“I didn’t tell my sister to refuse, I just said she needed to think about it a little... after all, agreeing too quickly wouldn’t be in line with the pride of a pure-blooded elf.”
"If my sister takes action, she will naturally have a reason for being invited by the human empire's NPCs. Even if she accidentally kills someone, it won't matter... I have ways to deal with it."
