125: Practice shooting
To make such a mistake of entering the wrong map, it’s truly a mark of a brother.
“I still have two questions. You just said Sayid and I have a good relationship? Isn’t he with Asara?”
“Also, how strong was I before?”
From Cai Ning, Liu Yan learned that his current self was incomparable to his past self.
But Liu Yan could feel that he was constantly improving, so if even this couldn’t compare, how strong was his past self?
Cai Ning skillfully walked over, poured a glass of water, and after drinking it, slowly began to explain:
“This ‘arrival’ is undoubtedly a catastrophe for us. Everyone in the delta, which is to say, those in the Third District, are considered our enemies.”
“But there’s one person who’s different, and that’s Sayid.”
“His target is only Hafke. If you don’t provoke him, Sayid won’t actively attack any humans, and sometimes he even provides help.”
“You two are like heroes appreciating heroes, I guess. In Sayid’s eyes, your experience is similar to his; you’re both pitiful people who have suffered from war.”
“As for your mother, after we arrived, she was killed by a blue eagle helicopter.”
Liu Yan’s expression was very complex; his memory was so muddled that he didn’t even know how his own mother died.
“As for how strong you were before, how should I describe it…”
“So strong that it made me wonder if you had a system.”
“You won every time you elbow-jabbed with Reis, sniped against Demulan, and had a gunfight and movement contest with Sayid.”
“The current you, if he stood in front of the former you, I would stake my life that he would be instantly killed like a Soldiers in less than 3 seconds.”
During Cai Ning’s narration, he wore a proud expression, as if such a powerful person was him.
Liu Yan, however, nodded, half-believing, half-doubting.
“Mainly, your current memory has been completely altered into a game format, your experience is far less, and your body isn’t what it used to be.”
Cai Ning tutted and shook his head, then looked at Liu Yan with an expectant expression:
“How about… I die a few times to get you an ECMO?”
“Let’s see if it gets better after clearing the after-effects.”
In the thirty-plus years Cai Ning had been in this world, he had seen many geniuses, but in his eyes, if they met the former Liu Yan, they were all insignificant.
Liu Yan hesitated for a moment, then decisively shook his head.
“Currently, I have three after-effects. One is at the back of my head, related to memory. One is in my left shoulder, a slight stuttering sensation, but it’s not a big impact.”
“And another is from being headshotted by Reis; sometimes I get inexplicably angry, but I can control it now.”
“None of them are particularly severe. Besides, no matter how much you exaggerate, didn’t it still fail?”
“That means it was wrong at the time.”
What Liu Yan was most worried about was that if his previous memories returned, his current memories would be overwritten.
If it was like drinking champagne, he might forget Fuji and Zhao Chuang.
Also, Liu Yan trusted the decision of the heart of africa.
Hearing Liu Yan’s final answer, Cai Ning nodded thoughtfully.
What Liu Yan said made sense. After all, this situation was caused by the heart of africa, and it was the method that maximized the success rate.
“Alright, then I’ll listen to you.”
“Then don’t just stand around. Don’t you have a Soldiers manufacturing plan?”
“I’ll go to the confidential delivery in a bit and get you some big red.”
“Compared to your previous solo efforts, I also think there’s more hope this time.”
“Give me some time, and I’ll make sure all your Soldiers use all sorts of big red!”
With that, Cai Ning patted Liu Yan’s shoulder and entered the Third District through the mist of the office’s back door.
No sooner had Cai Ning left than Fuji pushed the door open and came in.
“Holy crap! Iron Egg, you’re so awesome!”
“And the heart of africa, does it really exist? My dad actually did cross over!?”
“Also, my dad never told me about that system. No wonder he’s so good at finding special items!”
“Iron Egg, tell me honestly, do you have a system too?”
Fuji entered the room with a shocked expression, firing off a series of questions.
Zhao Chuang, meanwhile, stared intently at Liu Yan, his face full of admiration.
In his mind, he was wildly imagining Liu Yan fighting two major forces alone.
Liu Yan looked startled.
“You two actually peeked through the door crack?”
Fuji walked to the office wall and tapped it a few times with his finger.
Thump thump thump—
Liu Yan instantly recognized the sound; it wasn’t a wall, but merely a partition.
“I already removed the soundproofing cotton from the office, you know.”
Liu Yan looked up at Fuji with a speechless expression.
Outside was the foot massage parlor. Fuji had removed the soundproofing cotton and replaced it with a partition, so it was easy to imagine what he was up to.
“I’m telling you, aren’t you bored?” Liu Yan helplessly rubbed his forehead.
“You heard the answers to all your questions just now, and you’re still asking me.”
“That’s enough. We should head into the Third District. We haven’t done anything today yet.”
Liu Yan stood up from his seat and stretched.
The three of them entered the Third District together again… the Third District.
“Same old routine. I’ll go to Longbow Stream Valley first. After all the equipment is distributed, I’ll go to Bakshi to restock.”
Liu Yan had originally planned to take Zhao Chuang to meet Reis, but it wasn’t easy to encounter the real Reis.
This would, in turn, waste the speed of conquering Soldiers, so Liu Yan ultimately gave up on this plan.
“I’m going in first.”
After greeting Fuji and Zhao Chuang, Liu Yan turned and stepped into Longbow Stream Valley.
After Liu Yan left, Zhao Chuang walked over and sat down.
The number of people in Longbow Stream Valley was currently the fewest, apart from Dam Zero.
Its intensity was also the lowest, with basically no small groups coming here.
It was mostly just people looking to avoid conflict and earn a little money.
“Old Chuang, why don’t we go in? We’re just sitting around anyway, and he doesn’t need us to transport equipment anymore.”
“With his quantum storage and vacuum cleaner, he can already meet the demands for manufacturing Soldiers.”
Fuji looked around. Although there were still many Foreigners, they all seemed like easy targets.
Zhao Chuang hesitated. Since Liu Yan hadn’t said anything, he didn’t know if he should go in.
Fuji naturally saw Zhao Chuang’s hesitation and continued:
“We’ll just go into the regular ones. There are no after-effects if we die.”
“Just consider it practicing my marksmanship. Do you want to see me go in there and get my long johns forcibly worn inside out by those Foreigners?”
Zhao Chuang looked confused, not quite understanding what Fuji meant by ‘long johns worn inside out’.
But thinking of the Foreigners’ wickedness, Fuji going in alone was indeed not safe.
Zhao Chuang finally stood up.
“Let’s go, Brother Ji.”
Seeing Zhao Chuang agree, Fuji was delighted and quickly said:
“Okay, Old Chuang, wait for me here. I’ll go to the recycling stall and get a set of equipment!”
“When we go in later, you don’t need to do anything. It’s mainly for you to practice with me.”
With that, Fuji rushed to the recycling stall in the trading zone.
“Old Man, give me five sets of fully modified M250s, put it on Liu Yan’s tab.”
Seeing that it was only Fuji who had come, the Old Man, though puzzled, still found a set for Fuji.
At the same time, he also equipped Fuji with a chest rig and blood packs.
It was as if everything had been prepared for Fuji in advance.
But Fuji didn’t notice. He happily accepted them, thanked the Old Man, and then ran towards Longbow Stream Valley.
The Old Man glanced at the several sets of Level 5 gear that had been prepared in advance nearby.
