Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 71 The Terrifying Six Times Headshot Damage (Supplement 7)

morning.

Lu Xiaobei went to a newly opened inn in the ancient city to work as a model and take photos. It is said that the commission for this photo shoot is as high as 1000 yuan, which makes people a little envious. This world is unfair. Sometimes being good-looking can really put food on the table.

"drop!"

A WeChat message from Zhang Ruolin: "S-level main quest, Xicheng Battle, what do you say? Are you going to go solo or take me with you?"

"Let's go together. Axe and Little White have both gone to Beihai to hang out. I'm worried you'll get bullied if you go out of town alone. (doge.JPG)"

Zhang Ruolin sent a laughing emoji: "At least you still have some conscience. I feel safer with you. Is there anything I need to prepare?"

"I get off work at four o'clock in the afternoon. Come to the internet cafe at four o'clock and come with me to the player black market. After we get there, we'll see how to replenish strategic supplies."

"Yeah, okay!"

……

noon.

"drop!"

A WeChat message from Lu Xiaobei: "Ding Han, order me a rice bowl with shredded pork with garlic sauce from Aunt Xue, and bring it to me by the canal in half an hour?"

"it is good."

I didn't refuse and ordered two rice bowls from Aunt Xue's restaurant.

One serving is shredded pork with garlic sauce, and the other is also shredded pork with garlic sauce.

After the boxed lunch arrived, I asked Old K to help me check the network administrator's machine. Then I ran across the road and headed straight for the canal. There I saw Lu Xiaobei sitting alone on the steps, watching the flowing water.

Today, she has a slightly melancholic air about her.

"What's going on here?"

I exclaimed in surprise, "It looks like something unfortunate has happened..."

"It is indeed quite unfortunate."

Lu Xiaobei took the lunchbox and said, "Don't ask. I won't tell you. Just keep your troubles to yourself."

"Ok."

I didn't ask any more questions. I just sat down next to her and started wolfing down my food.

"Ding Han".

She ate a few bites of food, seemingly without much appetite, and asked, "Have you thought about the future?"

"after?"

I was surprised and thought to myself that when I reach level 100, I will be wearing the most advanced sixth-generation power armor and wielding an epic power sword, and I will sweep across the world. Of course, I must never say this out loud.

"No, I don't really like to anticipate the future."

I said softly, "A predetermined future often fails to materialize."

"A pre-planned future..."

Lu Xiaobei became even more melancholy: "You're right, we shouldn't make too many assumptions about the future. We should all live in the present."

As she spoke, she seemed to cheer up and regain her appetite, focusing all her attention on the shredded pork with garlic sauce rice in front of her.

After dinner, Lu Xiaobei strolled leisurely to the ancient city, saying that he had only taken half of the photos of the inn and that he was going to shoot outdoor scenes in the afternoon. I was too lazy to ask, so I went back to the internet cafe to continue slacking off.

……

It was four o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhang Ruolin arrived, dressed beautifully. She didn't go into the internet cafe; she just waited outside for me to get off work.

As Yingzi brushed past him, she couldn't help but glance at Zhang Ruolin a few more times.

"Ding Han, who is this woman?"

She said warily, "You've been staring at me like that, do you have some romantic entanglements outside?"

"What nonsense! She's my friend, Zhang Ruolin, a proper friend."

"Oh... a proper boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Ladies, don't overthink it."

"alright."

Sakura said, "I think Xiao Bei is better. Xiao Bei is the woman who can live a good life with you."

I stared at her for a long time.

"What?" Sakura asked, a little flustered. "Did I say something wrong?"

"Lu Xiaobei only knows how to play and wander around all day. You say she's the kind of woman you can live a good life with? Don't you feel guilty saying that?"

"I……"

Sakura was speechless; she couldn't continue the conversation.

After finishing my shift, I walked out the door and whistled at Zhang Ruolin: "Hey beautiful, wanna go out and have some fun?"

"Okay, brother!"

Zhang Ruolin is a very tactful person; she quickly stepped forward and took my arm.

"Nima..."

In the internet cafe, Old K, who was getting a drink, dropped his energy drink on the floor.

……

Evening, the player black market.

"Old horse!"

When I appeared with Zhang Ruolin, Old Ma, with a long face, said, "I've said it eight hundred times, my surname is Liu."

"I know, Lao Ma, no need to emphasize it so many times."

Zhang Ruolin said, "Ding Han and I came here to replenish our ammunition in preparation for tomorrow's Xicheng battle."

"Well, you're lucky you got here early."

Old Ma said, "If we had come any later, we probably would have left empty-handed. There are so many players coming to replenish their supplies today, and many types of ammunition are already sold out, and we can't replenish them anytime soon."

I was a little nervous: "Then I'll buy some more 9mm bullets."

Zhang Ruolin nodded in agreement.

So, I decided to exchange my remaining 2 Star Coins for supplies and purchased 7000 rounds of 9mm submachine gun ammunition. At this point, the Howler's ammunition in the interdimensional storage space reached 1.3+ rounds, which should be enough to handle the entire battle.

Of course, the most important thing is to be able to sustain yourself through war. In the process of a major battle, you can kill a few BOSS-level units, obtain more equipment, sell it for money, and then continue to replenish ammunition. This is a healthy development mode for a player.

"What about me?" Zhang Ruolin said, "You're the captain, so you decide how I should allocate my ammunition and supplies."

"How many Star Coins do you have now?" I asked.

"4.2W!"

"Damn, she's really rich..."

I was speechless for a moment and said, "Replenish the Wind Whisperer's bullets to 2000 rounds, and the submachine gun's bullets to 1 rounds. Forget about grenades, you can't throw them accurately. Use the remaining money to buy first aid kits, adrenaline, and hemostatic drugs. Remember to leave some money for teleportation."

"Row."

In the blink of an eye, her secret stash of money was gone.

After leaving the player black market, the two wandered around the ancient city.

"Shall I treat you to a meal?" she suddenly said.

"okay!"

I readily agreed.

During dinner, Zhang Ruolin asked, "Shall we teleport there at midnight?"

"Ah."

A thought struck me. I realized I hadn't asked for leave the next day, and if the battle of Xicheng started, I probably wouldn't have time to come back to work. So I sent Lu Xiaobei a message: "Lu Xiaobei, I have something to do tomorrow and can't come to work. Can you cover for me?"

"what is the benefit?"

"I'll treat you to a boxed lunch."

"..."

Lu Xiaobei angrily threw a bomb over, making my screen shake uncontrollably.

Although she didn't say she agreed, it was considered as such.

……

Afterwards, Ruolin and I sat in a quiet bar for a while. She ate desserts and listened to music, and even came over to take a picture with me. She then posted it in our "Heaven and Earth Society Team" group chat, saying, "Look, life at the Heaven and Earth Society Xicheng branch is not bad, is it?"

Immediately, Xiaobai sent a drooling emoji: "Envious!"

Axe said, "Why does Ding Han look like he's about to fall asleep?"

"How could he not be sleepy on a date with me? He'd be wide awake with any other woman..." Ruolin sent a resentful emoji.

I was speechless. I sent a message: "After midnight tonight, an S-level regional mission will refresh in Xicheng. Actually, I wanted to go back and get some sleep, but Ruolin insisted on dragging me here. Do you believe me when I say I'm really sleepy?"

"Xin, Ruolin is such a troublemaker!" Xiaobai played the role of the best frenemy.

Zhang Ruolin was speechless and sent a wronged emoji.

I watched for a while, then got really sleepy, so I simply lay down on the table and took a nap.

I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly someone shook my shoulder.

"Ding Han, wake up, it's almost time!"

Zhang Ruolin glared at me: "You actually slept? You slept for more than three hours straight! I'm really starting to admire you!"

I glanced at the time; it was 11:30, half an hour before the regional missions would begin.

Meanwhile, local news was playing on the television in the quiet bar. Reporters from Xicheng TV were conducting interviews outside, and the television footage showed a large number of Burning Wind Legion soldiers leaving the city, about to fight the Dark Tide organization outside the city.

Furthermore, Dulin, the Lord of Xicheng and the Wind-Burning One, came out to speak, reassuring the people and telling them not to panic, that everything was under control, and that the Crimson Dragon Kingdom had already dispatched a battle group from the Crimson Dragon Legion to provide assistance, so the Dark Tide Organization would never dare to lay a finger on the city.

This is probably why Xicheng remains so peaceful despite the impending war outside.

With a behemoth like the Crimson Dragon Kingdom behind them, there's really no need to fear the Dark Tide Organization.

But can the Crimson Dragon Kingdom really be trusted?

Is it possible that the Crimson Dragon Kingdom also intends to use the Burning Wind Legion as cannon fodder to test the strength of the Dark Tide main force? Or perhaps, the Crimson Dragon Kingdom is waiting for the fall of Creek City so that it can have a legitimate opportunity to send troops?

In short, once the war broke out, the situation in Xicheng was not optimistic.

……

Soon after, the two arrived at the player black market. At this time, an option called "Outside Xicheng" appeared in the phase teleportation array, which could directly teleport them to an area about twenty miles outside Xicheng.

After each paying 1,000 star coins, they teleported there with a group of players.

"go!"

Carrying the Roarer, I left the player group side by side with Ruolin. Opening the large map, I found that the southern part of this area was already blood red, completely occupied by the dark tide forces. So, I led Ruolin along a small path and climbed a lush, jungle-covered hill.

The hill, about 100 meters high, is covered with jagged rocks and dense trees, making it a good spot for sniping.

"Find your own sniping spot."

I switched my main weapon to the purple Wind Whisperer and said, "Or... Ruolin, you don't need to fire yet. I'll fire it myself. My Wind Whisperer not only has a night vision aiming system, but also a silencer. It can shoot without anyone noticing and accurately kill Dark Tide units from 1500 meters away."

"also."

Zhang Ruolin smiled and said, "Our team only consists of two people, so we should be careful. You can deal damage, and I can be the experience gainer. If we team up, one person will deal 100% of the damage, and the other person will get a guaranteed 20% experience. Just do your best."

"Ah."

I nodded: "Let's earn some mission points first, no need to rush into a full-scale attack."

"it is good!"

……

Gunshots rang out from the woods below. A vanguard of the Dark Tide and a squad of the Burning Winds faction were engaged in fierce fighting, about 1500 meters away from us.

The Wind Whisperer has an effective range of up to 2500 meters, while my level 10 advanced shooting skill can achieve 100% accuracy at around 1500 meters, but headshots might be a bit of a stretch.

"I'm going to do it!"

He quickly pulled back the bolt, aimed at the head of a level 30 elite machine gunner of the Dark Tide Vanguard Team 1500 meters away, and fired three shots in quick succession. Accompanied by the "puff puff puff" of the silenced shots, the three bullets whistled away one after another!

"2109!"

"MISS!"

"4386!"

……

Two headshots, one critical hit, and he's dead!

"I rely on..."

Zhang Ruolin was also aiming with the scope of the Tier 2 Blue Wind Whisperer, and for a moment she was dumbfounded, looking at me with a face full of surprise.
