"In this respect, it is very advantageous for weaker players. Their lost items are of lower quality, so they can be retrieved faster and can more quickly try to escape another probability mission."
"The stronger players are slower to retrieve their items, so they will most likely only be able to do the hunt missions. We probably don't have many options."
Xiao Linlin's analysis was comprehensive, and she thoroughly explained the rules and situation of the game in just a few words.
"I know."
Su Lin nodded silently. The most important goal now was to retrieve fifty percent of the lost items and then begin the hunt as soon as possible.
Time is of the essence! It's a race against time! Get those kills!
This is the primary escape method arranged by the game mechanics for strong players in this promotion match.
The three quickly left the hotel and wandered the city streets as night fell. The entire city was dazzling and brightly lit. Apart from the fact that there were many people with superpowers everywhere, it was no different from a major metropolis on Earth.
Jia Zhengyi didn't have any specific goal in mind. He simply picked a direction at random and led the two of them forward.
Xiao Linlin frowned and reminded him, "Brother Jia, we must take every game seriously. You can't be half-hearted. Any negligence or perfunctory attitude will affect the original escape plan and probability."
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you saying, girl? Do you think I'm not working hard? I'm very focused, okay!"
Although Jia Zhengyi spoke seriously, his feet unconsciously walked towards the snack shop on the side of the street, and he took out a banknote: "Boss, three servings of spicy meatballs, please."
"Okay!"
The boss smiled and took the money, then opened his mouth and breathed out a burst of flame to grill the food on the tongs. In no time, it was freshly cooked, and the heat and aroma made Jia Zhengyi's mouth water.
"Here, three servings of spicy meatballs!"
"Thank you, boss."
Jia Zhengyi happily accepted the food, then turned and shared it with the two of them: "Eat it while it's hot! Let me tell you, anything made with this superpower is incredibly delicious! Purely natural!"
Su Lin took it without saying much, but Xiao Linlin reminded her with dissatisfaction, "Jia Zhengyi! We didn't come here to shop!"
"Grandma, I know."
Jia Zhengyi stuffed a meatball into her small mouth and replied helplessly, "Let me replenish my energy, okay? Otherwise, how will I have the strength to find my way?"
"So, did you find it?"
Xiao Linlin's cheeks were puffed up from the meatballs, and she didn't forget to feed Su Lin a few. Jia Zhengyi shook his head enviously, "What differential treatment..."
"Nothing was detected, but don't forget my nose is also very sensitive; I can sense that we'll find something in this direction."
"Just come with me, that's all. You've already called me radar, how could I lead you astray?"
Jia Zhengyi smiled, before he could finish speaking.
Sudden!
A new message notification appeared in front of Su Lin.
【warn!】
[A player has accepted a "hunt" mission, and you have become the target!]
All three saw the notification message. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Linlin and Jia Zhengyi saw a "red scythe" mark that only players and followers could see above Su Lin's head!
This sign was extremely eye-catching, large and bright, hanging high! The mechanism seemed determined to make sure everyone knew Su Lin was here!
"Oh no, someone's so fast!"
Jia Zhengyi's expression changed drastically, and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes. He hadn't expected that in just a few hours, his boss would become a target of assassination.
"Don't panic."
Xiao Linlin frowned, but remained confident: "At this speed, this player must be very smart and capable of using the rules and mechanics, which is why they completed 50% of the conditions so quickly."
"He has a fighting spirit, so he adopted a strategy of aggressively attacking players to clear the game. However, his completion speed is too fast, which also shows that even if he has the ability, it is very limited. The quality of the lost items he has must not be high."
"Brother, are you confident now?"
Xiao Linlin looked at Su Lin, who calmly swallowed the last pill and patted the Tang sword at his waist that had transformed into a dagger: "Counter-pursuit?"
His rhetorical question startled Jia Zhengyi!
What kind of battle maniac is this, chasing after someone as soon as he's been targeted?
At the same time, he also sensed Su Lin's strong confidence in this answer. With the boss's formidable strength, he could easily regain control of the situation.
Even with only a Tang sword in hand, Su Lin was fearless.
"No, going to him now will waste time and a spot."
Xiao Linlin shook her head, then looked at Jia Zhengyi: "Is this the person you've seen before? Can you find the pursuer?"
"I can't find it, I can't see the marker."
Jia Zhengyi looked around, gazed into the distance, and shook his head, saying, "Only those being hunted should have a marker. I can see the locations of the survivors around me, but I can't tell which one is chasing us."
Xiao Linlin's earlier foreshadowing has come to fruition; Jia Zhengyi can now directly pinpoint the exact locations of all the survivors he has seen in the same area.
"How far away is the nearest one?"
“I’ve been observing him for a long time, three blocks away. He’s been looking for a container, which doesn’t seem like he’s on a kill mission.”
"It could also be a disguise... Be vigilant, and if any survivors approach us, remember to warn them."
"Don't worry! Do I look like a newbie?"
Jia Zhengyi raised his eyebrows and smiled calmly: "In my eyes, this bunch of trash are like clowns who have taken off their clothes, with no secrets whatsoever."
This statement is brimming with strong self-confidence, and has a subtle air of pretentiousness.
Gain a comprehensive view! Use mobile radar to pinpoint the location of everything!
He couldn't imagine how his team could lose; it was simply impossible for them to lose.
Xiao Linlin suddenly became alert, staring at Jia Zhengyi and looking him up and down: "Just now... were you imitating your brother's tone of voice?"
"Did I? Why would I imitate my boss?"
"That's right! You didn't imitate it at all. Your brother is much more handsome than you!"
Just as they were talking, a piercing police siren suddenly blared from the street, drawing the attention of the three of them.
"This is quite a big operation, with several cars. Are they going to crack down on prostitution or organized crime?"
Jia Zhengyi watched curiously, while Xiao Linlin asked with some doubt, "Is there such a thing as cracking down on organized crime here?"
"What do you think? Where there are people, there will be conflict. With the added power of superpowers, these dark forces will only become more varied and ingenious..."
Halfway through his sentence, Jia Zhengyi suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Hey! Wait a minute, are those cars coming towards us?"
"No doubt about it, they're coming for us."
Su Lin stood by the street, spoke calmly, and silently watched several police cars speeding closer.
Xiao Linlin turned around in surprise and saw police cars quickly surrounding the group.
The car door opened, and several fully armed police officers with superpowers quickly walked up to the three of them, their gazes sweeping over them coldly.
Who is the suspect, Su Lin?
