Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 719 Is It Just a Coincidence?
Although Li Jiu also knew that Gordon dared to go back alone because he relied on his double kukri and fire power, but even so, he still had a great risk of dying on the spot in that town.
"Captain, this is nothing." Gordon said unconcernedly, "In the virtual world, risking one's life for the employer is the job of a mercenary. If a mercenary accepts the employer's payment but becomes afraid of death at the critical moment, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the virtual world. Once he has such an experience, he will never receive any missions again."
"Besides, I didn't know at that time that the captain had such means... With the captain's strength at that time, I was sure that even if I didn't go back, you would only be trapped for a little longer, but there would definitely be no danger. So, when I went back, I didn't actually help much." Gordon paused and added.
"Haha, virtual world..." Li Jiu smiled calmly and nodded. Although he was just a student in the virtual world, he had lived there for 10 to 20 years after all, so he had heard a little about the mercenaries in that world. Gordon was right. In the virtual world, mercenaries were indeed people who worked hard for others, using their lives to exchange for money.
It seems that Doug has lived in the virtual world for too long. Even though he has woken up and come to the real world, he cannot forget some memories and living habits in the virtual world.
"But this is the real world after all, and you did help me today." After thinking about his experience in the virtual world, Li Jiu continued, "As the leader of the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group, I must clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. You have made a great contribution today. In addition to the mission reward you deserve this time, go to Doug tomorrow to claim the 1 million Alliance Coins reward."
"Thank you, Captain!" Gordon said respectfully immediately.
Although he didn't help much this time, he did risk his life and did play a small role, so he was still meritorious. As a mercenary, he fought bravely regardless of life and death in order to make merit and earn more rewards, so he naturally would not refuse Li Jiu's reward.
And this 1 million Alliance Coins was a huge sum of money for Gordon. After all, before this, he only received 100,000 Alliance Coins as a reward when he just woke up. Therefore, he was very satisfied with Li Jiu's reward.
"Also, how effective is that double kukri?" After rewarding Gordon, Li Jiuyou looked at the double kukri on Gordon's waist and asked expectantly.
"Captain, these two knives are very effective. After I use the fire power, my strength is close to that of a third-level warrior. I can kill a third-level biochemical warrior with a light knife. One to two thousand health points. If it is a heavy knife, it can kill him with one blow!" Gordon drew out the double kukri, placed it in front of Li Jiu, and said with excitement in his eyes.
"Oh? It's so powerful." Li Jiu exclaimed slightly, took the two knives from Gordon, held them in his hands and looked at them carefully.
These two knives look similar to Nepalese machetes, and when put together they form a double kukri.
Li Jiu touched the blade and looked at the blade. Judging from the outside, he couldn't tell that these two knives were any different from ordinary Nepalese machetes. Even the materials used were basically the same.
However, he knew that these two knives were mixed with a special element that could specifically restrain biological viruses, and had great lethality to biochemical warriors.
"This double kukri looks very similar to the one used by the ghost hunter in the Crossfire game. Especially after Gordon used his fire power, he was wrapped in red flames, just like the ghost hunter in the game..." Li Jiu thought to himself as he looked at the knife. "However, the power of this knife seems to be even stronger than that in the Crossfire game."
At this moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling... Could it be that the ghost hunter in the game was modeled after Gordon?
However, Li Jiu was very clear that he had first encountered the Crossfire game in the virtual world, and then met Gordon. So how could the character in the game be modeled after Gordon?
Or... does the Crossfire game in the virtual world really have a function similar to the power of prophecy, and will all the people and things that appear in it appear in this real world?
"The power of prophecy? The power of prophecy again..." Li Jiu pondered to himself.
The power of prophecy is a power that only appears in legends in this world. Logically speaking, it should not exist.
But in fact, Li Jiu had long felt that the Crossfire game in the virtual world seemed to have a function similar to the ability to predict the future, otherwise he would not have encountered the scenes that appeared in the Crossfire game one after another in this world.
Later, he learned that Kaqi, who was right next to him, was actually an awakened person with prophetic superpowers!
But that’s not all. Not long ago, he actually got a prophecy card from Du Yu, which also had the power of predicting things!
All these signs show that the power of prophecy is not just a power that exists in legends, but a real power!
Moreover, it seems that Kaqi is not the only one who possesses the prophecy. There may even be people who have awakened the prophecy ability who are more powerful than her!
"Game of Crossfire... Kaqi... prophecy cards... they all have the power of prediction, and I actually encountered them all?" The more Li Jiu thought about it, the more solemn he felt.
Li Jiu originally didn't care whether there was any prophetic ability to predict the future in this world, but now, people and things related to the prophetic ability appeared around him one after another... This had to attract his attention!
Why was he connected to the power of prophecy? Was he also in someone else's prophecy? Or, had someone noticed him through the power of prophecy?
"Are these just coincidences?" Li Jiu couldn't help but frowned as he thought about it. "No matter what, at least I haven't been affected by any prophetic powers yet... Of course, except for the Crossfire game in the virtual world..."
"Captain..." When he was thinking about it, Gordon next to him saw that Li Jiu was lost in thought and stood there for a long time, so he couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.
"Oh..." Li Jiu was slightly stunned and came back to his senses.
"Captain, is there anything wrong with this knife?" Gordon asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Haha, there's nothing wrong with the knife. It's a good knife." Li Jiu shook his head and smiled, then returned the knife to Gordon. "Gordon, you're tired too. Go back and rest first."
"Okay, Captain." Gordon nodded, then turned and left the main building.
After everyone left, Li Jiu was the only one left in the main building lobby, sitting alone on the sofa and lighting a cigarette.
"The knife that Lin Zhen researched will be very helpful in future battles in the Eastern Province. I have to make him make more tomorrow." Li Jiu thought to himself, "Although this knife is difficult to make, at least each of the brothers in the Fifth Squad should have one. In addition, I have to see if Kaqi has any good weapons. If she doesn't, I have to make one for her. However, the Fox Hunter Special Operations Battalion is backed by the entire Alliance Government. Their conditions are much better than mine. I'm afraid they may have better weapons than this knife..."
"Also, although Zhao Wu and his men have joined the Thunder Leopards, there are no vacancies in the group for the time being. We can only wait for the mercenaries who are out on the mission to come back and see how many people are missing, and then make arrangements for them."
"Next, the most important thing is to join Mr. Knight's Dark Knights, and then learn from them how to truly use superpowers!" Li Jiu's eyes flashed with anticipation.
Although Li Jiu now has a powerful method of cultivating supernatural powers, he is still very immature in the specific techniques of applying supernatural powers.
He knew that his use of soul control was probably only the most basic and simplest use. Moreover, most of the awakened people in the alliance were probably similar to him.
Only organizations like the Dark Knights, Flying Tigers Special Forces, and Black Dragon Special Forces, which have the support of the alliance government or large power groups, will have deeper skills in using supernatural powers!
After all, a single awakener like Li Jiu could only buy a way to cultivate superpowers from outside, but could not find any specific techniques for using superpowers. Their understanding of superpowers was basically gained through their own exploration.
As for the skills in using superpowers like those of the Dark Knights and the Flying Tigers Special Operations Battalion, they are probably the systematic experience summarized by the alliance, which has gathered a large number of awakened people and many professional researchers through in-depth exploration and continuous verification !
"If I can learn more in-depth skills in using superpowers, my strength will definitely be greatly improved. By then, I may not need to use biochemical transformation, and I can easily fight against level 5 or 6 biochemical warriors." Li Jiu was full of expectations. "Also, my strength has increased. In the provincial elimination match in a month, I will be more confident in leading the fifth team to win the championship."
"In addition, in about a month, I will be fighting with Shangguan Lingyun from the Shangguan family... That guy is already a level 6 warrior with the rank of major general, and he is at least a monarch-level awakener. However, this is only the information Donna learned a year ago, and now I don’t know how much the opponent’s strength has grown..." Thinking of the battle with Shangguan Lingfeng in the near future, Li Jiu did not dare to take it lightly.
This was a promise I made to Donna, and I didn't want to break it. Although I didn't promise to help Donna win at that time, if I lost, I would lose face.
With his current strength, he would not be able to win even if he faced Shangguan Lingyun from a year ago.
Therefore, in the next month or so, especially after joining the Black Knight, I must seize the opportunity and take the time to improve my personal strength.
