Chapter 16: Chapter 16 BOOM!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Damn⦠damn, damn, damn!
Lin Xi, in his Gun Master identity, was transported to Jiangchengâs food street.
His real body was still at the Supreme War Team Club. It was after he saw the special mission âAbyss Huntâ that he clicked the descend option.
His initial thought was the same as Zhao Mingweiâs, that it was a kind of âmini-gameâ made by the gaming company.
As a result, not only did he log into his game character, he appeared on the familiar Jiangcheng food street!
At this moment, half of the food street had turned into ruins, and the wailing of monsters could be heard everywhere.
Lin Xi was a bit confused at this moment. He couldnât tell if this food street was reality or a game.
But a group of people pulled him out of his pondering! Armed forces, a group of fully equipped soldiers, were running briskly to the outskirts of the street.
Game NPCs? Lin Xi glanced at the armed forces.
A soldier in the front shouted as he ran towards Lin Xi, âA large number of terrorists have appeared in Sector A. The advance team is obstructed! I repeat, the advance team is obstructed! Requesting support! Requesting support!â
The soldier was running towards Lin Xi while using his walkie-talkie to seek support, but before he ran a few steps, an arrow pierced through his leg.
The soldier fell at Lin Xiâs feet. At this moment, Lin Xi saw that his face and clothes were already covered in blood.
Instance storyline event? Or some side mission?
Lin Xi looked up into the distance. A skeletal knight in armor holding a longbow was standing atop a two-story building. Beneath the knight, a large group of orcs were waving clubs and running in Lin Xiâs direction.
In an instant, Lin Xi didnât think and directly cast a scouting technique.
âGray Orc Slave, common creature, level: 7, health points: 1000â¦â
âStrong Orc Soldier, common creature, level: 15, health points: 2340â¦â
âAnnihilation Legion Archer·Rainer, elite creature, level: 29, health points: 9791â¦â
A group of orcs ranging from level five to twenty, plus a level twenty-nine elite⦠Lin Xi felt confident in his ability to handle it.
He took out his main weapon, a semi-automatic pistol, and walked towards the orc horde.
âKid! What are you doing! Get back!â The soldier who had requested support saw Lin Xi walking towards the orcs. Lin Xi, wearing a leather jacket and a cowboy hat, looked like a reckless troublemaker.
âDonât worry, friend. I have a gun.â Lin Xi waved his main weapon, the âRanger Semi-Automatic Pistolâ.
This was a blue-quality semi-automatic pistol. Normally, the Gun Masterâs main weapon should be a hand cannon, but Lin Xi had just switched professions yesterday and hadnât had the chance to change his main weapon.
âHow do you have a gun? Kid, a pistol wonât work on those guys!â
The soldier couldnât care less about such details. In his eyes, Lin Xi was a cocky teenager trying to show off because he had a small pistol.
âThe pistol is useless? Then is this useful?â Lin Xi suddenly swung his hand, and mechanical components began to appear on his left hand, ultimately forming an anti-tank rocket launcher.
âYou⦠you⦠youâ¦â The soldier was utterly dumbfounded. If he had encountered Lin Xi on the street a day ago, this scene would have been enough to get Lin Xi executed!
Illegal possession of a firearm was already a serious crime, and this guy illegally possessed an anti-tank rocket launcher!
âLeave this to me.â Lin Xi raised the anti-tank rocket launcher in his hand. This was the Gun Masterâs basic advancement skill at level twenty-five.
He aimed at the orc horde charging in the distance and pulled the trigger.
âRun, baby!â Lin Xi felt a massive recoil travel from his arm to his shoulder. The cannon roared with a deafening sound, and a missile flew into the vanguard of the charging orc horde.
âShitâ¦â
At the moment the missile fell, Lin Xi saw two soldiers running towards him, who were likely still within the missileâs blast radius.
Flames erupted, the scorching firelight spread with the explosionâs impact, and at the same time, orc limbs and flesh scattered everywhere.
A series of numbers like -123, -179, -157 popped up in Lin Xiâs view, and his experience began to slowly increase.
The two soldiers who were running towards Lin Xi emerged from the fire unscathed.
âCaptain!â The two soldiers ran to the captain behind Lin Xi and raised their submachine guns at this⦠unfamiliar young man with a smoking anti-tank rocket launcher in his hand, an imposing sight indeed.
âNo friendly fire damage? This setting is really considerate.â Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the two unscathed soldiers and said, âWait here, I need to get some oranges⦠no, I mean, Iâm going to take the orcsâ heads.â
âStop!â
One of the soldiers wanted to order Lin Xi to stop, but was held back by the captain beside him.
âCaptain, who is he?â the other soldier asked the captain softly.
âI donât know either.â The captain watched Lin Xiâs back. The next second, a heavy Gatling gun appeared in Lin Xiâs hand.
Lin Xi aimed at the orc horde in the distance and pulled the trigger. The Gatling gunâs barrel started spinning rapidly, and bullets swept out like a storm.
âNone of our team possesses such equipment. Where did his heavy weaponry come from?â The soldier watched Lin Xiâs back, shooting with the Gatling gun, thinking this guy should be classified as an extremely dangerous person.
âNo idea. And isnât there a bunch of strange people appearing in the war zoneâs center, too?â
The captain looked up at the sky engulfed in flames and saw a witch flying on a broomstick.
What has the world come to? This question popped into his mind, but he was brought back to reality by the message on the walkie-talkie: âSupport troops have arrived.â
âFriend, can you still move?â
Suddenly, Lin Xiâs voice rang in the captainâs ear again. The Gatling gun in his hand was glowing red, too hot to continue firing.
âNot for you to ask.â The captain stood up, supporting himself.
âPlease evacuate quickly. I might not be able to hold back that guy for long.â Lin Xi dropped the over-heating Gatling gun and took out a grenade launcher, eyeing the Annihilation Legion Archer standing atop a building in the distance.
Earlier, the archer had shot an arrow into Lin Xiâs characterâs chest, reducing his health by nearly a third.
âItâs they who should retreat.â As the captain spoke, the support troops had already set up a defensive array at the entrance to Jiangcheng food street.
