'+3 exquisite steam dagger
Requires steam device to pressurize, has three steam warheads inside, damage 2D4+2, steam warhead damage into the body +30, damage outside the body +2
Introduction: This is a brutal weapon used by nobles in the Sodom era. It looks plain and worthless, but once you pull the trigger and inject the burning high-pressure steam into the human body, you will know what a balloon-like explosion is.
Note: There is a gold stamped mark on this dagger with the name Freya.1622.1.28. Perhaps it can reveal some secrets.
“It’s great to have an unexpected reward right out of the gate.”
Those guys don't look like ordinary people.
Li Lin casually hung the steam dagger on the strap under his wallet, exhaled lightly, squinted his eyes and looked at the surrounding scenery.
The air that had been filtered through multiple punctures spread out in all directions along with the vibration of the resonance chamber, and the small steam locomotive whistled along the track. The people around him were wrapped in windbreakers like him, wearing different gas masks and moving forward silently, and only the sky was filled with dark gray dust.
If there is no good way to deal with it, the dust will quickly wear out the machines and cause people to fall into exhaustion. However, the people in the upper district have no concerns about this and are even proud of it. Especially since he is now at the top of the foggy city, people can see the dim gray sky as long as they look up. Even the civilians who were shot are incomparably noble figures compared to the world below them.
Therefore, they would rather suffer the torture of various filters and gas masks than give up their dignity and live underground. That undoubtedly means giving up their status. Especially when they look at the brass pipe locomotives extending from the ground, they avoid them as if they were encountering a manure truck, which shows what these people think.
Just like a poor man trapped in a swamp, even his outstretched hands seemed to be cut off. No matter how he struggled and called for help, it was useless. Even pulling him hard would cause his entire body to break apart, causing him to die completely.
" Dying , lifeless..."
But what does this have to do with me?
Looking at the numb movements of the people around him and the appearance of some gorgeous motorcycles honking as they passed by, Li Lin pulled on his cloak and hurriedly walked along the street.
If he hadn't been discovered, he wouldn't have been considered a criminal. Through several successful encounters, he had gained a lot of things, including a detailed map of the Fog City that he had gotten from some unlucky guy, which helped him understand this numb yet vibrant city.
The game system can only show its presence at this time. As long as you find the local map and enter it, the automatic search and navigation system will be turned on. This is also a little consolation left in this outrageously difficult game - although this is only in the city. If you are in a dungeon or in the wild, you have to look for it yourself even if you have a map.
"Even the fog needs a change. We need to unite and change the world from the bottom of our hearts. Don't you want to see the sun? Can we see the world outside the gray fog, other than what outsiders describe?"
The street orator tried his best to shout at the numb crowd with a bronze megaphone, but most people just raised their eyelids and glanced.
Seeing the exquisite underwear of the young man standing on the podium and shouting at the top of his lungs, these people shook their heads and returned to the numb crowd. Only the masked boy in front of the loudspeaker seemed to shout from the bottom of his heart. However, even if some people were slightly moved, they looked at the bodyguards standing around the boy and the boy's gorgeous gas mask and began to lower their heads and hurried past.
No one would believe a word of the nobles. Even in the upper class districts full of nobles, this was true. Sitting in a small shop, Li Lin took a bottle of foggy drink unique to the Fog City and inserted it into the vent of his gas mask. He inhaled it with a smack, while flipping through his package and mission log to see what he had gained.
If a person suddenly stops and gestures while walking on the street, it may attract a lot of attention. However, in a semi-public entertainment venue like this, as long as you don't kill anyone, who cares what you do?
"But this mist drink is indeed interesting..."
I was clearly inhaling some air, but it felt like it was being poured into my mouth.
Under the pressure of the Longma fog, the people in this city who love to enjoy life always develop something that looks strange but has good effects.
"Let me see. I don't know what a key is for. It's rubbish. Two steam daggers, but they can only be used once. They're probably for self-defense. One map has been loaded. Basic steam science, keep it. And a siren... for calling the police?"
Who will the police kill when they come? Will they kill each other?
Recalling the brutal and violent scenes of those gray-skinned policemen, Li Lin didn't think calling the police was a good idea.
This was all he had gained along the way. After taking inventory, Li Lin opened the task panel to see what tasks had changed.
'Mission Change: Fog
Mission introduction: You have three days of free time, but as soon as you go out, you are ambushed by a group of ignorant kids. Of course, you are so skilled that you didn't even let them know what happened and you walked out, and even took away a terrible weapon. But this may be a breakthrough. Judging from the level of sophistication, this is obviously not a toy for children. This thing can kill anyone who is defenseless. Think about it, you feel that this city doesn't seem to be so friendly to you. Should you continue to spend three days in ignorance, or...
Mission Objective: Unknown
Mission Reward: Unknown
Note: This task may have an unknown impact on the main story, please choose carefully.
In simple terms, it's about possible problems with the mission, right? If we investigate further, it might make things more difficult, like there might be hostile forces on the ground.
'I still say that, it's none of my business.'
I just happened to have a basic knowledge of steam, wouldn’t it be great to practice the skill for three days?
After finishing the steam drink, Li Lin shrugged and planned to find a hotel to study. However, when he walked into an empty alley, Li Lin suddenly felt that something was wrong with the air.
Strong steam instantly gushed out from the front and back of the alley along the pipes. The hot steam vortex was like two walls blocking the way forward and backward. At the same time, Li Lin suddenly felt a baffle in the corner behind him suddenly flip open.
"The dawn salutes you, sir."
“…”
"I advise you not to act rashly, because your life is not so safe."
Listening to the distorted mechanical sound coming from behind the gas mask, and the bone-chilling coldness that almost touched his vest, Li Lin's pupils behind the saint's face suddenly shrank, and then a strange smile bloomed at the corners of his lips.
He loves this city, and there are kind people giving him equipment all the time.
