The key point is that the gun in his hand looks strange, bulky and heavy, but its power is not satisfactory.

The shot just now directly hit the wolf's eye, smashing its brain and killing it instantly, but the bullet did not penetrate its skull.

At such a close distance, it can't even penetrate the skull. It's such a waste of such a big body.

[Is this a pistol from the steam age?]

He was playing with the pistol in his hand. If this wasn't the wilderness where there might be other dangers, he would want to take it apart and have a look.

Second Life is a highly open game set in the Steam Age. The main map is about half the size of the Earth. But there are so many copies that it is said that there are tens of thousands of copies, large and small. The total area is hundreds of times that of the main map.

The gameplay of this game is rich and varied, but the main quests are all related to war, either a war between several major countries, or a struggle between the technology department and the extraordinary department.

In the early stage, the world is dominated by NPCs. In the later stage, the level and status of players have risen, and it is the players who dominate the direction of the war.

The first fifty-two zones of this game all have the same initial background, but the directions are completely different, and the deviation becomes more and more serious as time goes by.

There were cases where the extraordinary system had the upper hand, cases where a certain player force unified the world, and there were even cases where the world was turned into a wasteland and had to be shut down in the end.

This time, with the opening of a new area, I don’t know how many players flocked in.

When Chen Xu came in, the zone had been opened for almost a year and was a little behind.

The game gave him the identity of a policeman, which was mostly arranged based on his talents. He is a good shooter and can detect danger in advance.

Such an identity has a lot of benefits in the early stage. In this game, there are many exclusive tasks and exclusive copies, which can only be triggered by related professions.

For example, in the profession of police, if you perform well, you can trigger a mission to join a mysterious department and gain extraordinary powers.

In Second Life, the most popular thing is naturally supernatural power. However, in the early stage of the game, it is not easy to become a supernatural person, and you need to complete a series of tasks. In the early stage, when there are few supernatural players, these tasks are very difficult.

Only after you get through the early stages and there are more extraordinary players, it will become easy to complete the tasks with them leading the way. By then, the number of extraordinary people in the game will increase at an explosive rate.

Obviously, if you want to make money playing this game, the prerequisite is to become an extraordinary person.

Chen Xu's mind flashed back to the relevant information he had seen on the forum. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was about to set. He began to deal with the aftermath. There were two people and a wolf's corpse on the ground, and he had to deal with them.

Just as he was thinking, he heard the sound of a bell. He looked over there warily, raising his gun. Then he saw a mule cart appear on a low slope.

"Officer Chen?"

There was a man sitting on the mule cart. When he saw him, he shouted in surprise.

When Chen Xu saw that he recognized him, he put down his gun.

"Oh, is this the demon wolf?" The man exclaimed when he saw the corpse of the black wolf.

Chen Xu said, "You came just in time. Help me take back the body of my colleague and this black wolf."

"Good, good." The man cheered hurriedly.

This town has a very simple name, Chenjiaji.

However, he was not born in this town, but came from another place. Of course, his background information is that he is an orphan. Well, it is said that the game arranges the identity of an orphan for each player.

Chenjiaji is not very big, with only a few thousand people. In modern times, it is about the size of a larger village.

But in the game, this is already amazing. It is said that the number of NPCs in the entire game is maintained at around 100 million. You know, it costs 300 credit points to occupy one artificial intelligence.

Even if there is a discount for buying in bulk, this is still tens of billions of credit points. I can only say that this person is extremely wealthy.

Chen Xu brought the corpse back to the town, causing a huge commotion. Many people gathered around and almost blocked the not very wide road.

Most of them were joyful. It was obvious that this town had suffered a lot from this black wolf.

This was the first time Chen Xu had encountered such a thing. Looking at the innocent faces in front of him, he was impressed that the simulation level of this artificial intelligence was simply too good. There was no difference from real people.

All the way back to the police station, the atmosphere was different. Looking at the body of their colleague, everyone had a look of grief on their faces.

Chen Xu could understand this feeling. How many policemen could a town have? Most of them were locals, and most of them were probably related to each other. It would be strange if they didn't feel upset when two of them died at once.

The plump director with a mustache and a sad face encouraged him and told him to go back and rest.

Everyone in the police station was a little sad, except Chen Xu, who looked calm and a little weird. To be honest, he really couldn't act it out, and didn't want to.

Before entering the game, he read some popular science about communicating with NPCs. Players have privileges in this regard. Even if they are a little arrogant and disrespectful to their superiors, they will not be suppressed in terms of personnel.

The reason is simple. Who wants to play a game when they have to carefully flatter the NPC? Of course, they just play as they please.

When playing this game, you don't have to worry about interpersonal relationship problems, and it's okay to be a little slow. The premise is that you don't deliberately provoke or insult the NPC, otherwise you will be taught a lesson in minutes.

Chen Xu returned to the dormitory at the back, which was a very simple single room. The sun had already set and it was pitch black everywhere. There was an oil lamp lit on the table, which made the place quite interesting.

As far as he can remember, it was only when he was very young and lived with his grandmother that they would light oil lamps during power outages at night. The style was different, but the feeling was similar.

【The atmosphere is really great. 】

He sighed in his heart that whether it was the jubilant townspeople who had gathered in front of the car on the street just now, or the police officers who were grieving the death of their colleagues, they had successfully created an atmosphere that was completely different from reality, allowing people to immerse themselves in the game.

He went to the bathroom and took a shower.

As for why there are separate bathrooms with hot water in the police station dormitories in towns during the Steam Age, we can only say that this is what players need.

When he entered the bathroom, he received a message saying that this bathroom can only be used by the player himself. In other words, NPCs cannot enter.

This is also a compromise made by the game developers. Although it will break the sense of immersion, without taking a shower, it is estimated that a large number of female players will not be willing to come in and play.
