Chapter 16 (1/2)

Oh no… oh no oh no oh no!

Lin Xi had arrived at the Food Street of River Town as Daydreamer, Cannoneer.

His real body remained in the base of JC Kings after he clicked on the Soulfall button in the Abyssal Hunt special mission.

Like Zhao Mingwei, his first thought was that the game company had made a ‘minigame’.

In the end, not only did he log in as his Sacred Souls game character, he even appeared on Food Street, a place he was familiar with!

At the moment, half of his surroundings were debris, and the wails of monsters could be heard across all directions.

Lin Xi was left bewildered, unable to differentiate if this Food Street was reality or game.

However, the presence of a group of people drew him out of his pondering. A troop of full-armed soldiers was rushing towards the outer reaches of that avenue.

Lin Xi stared at the armed forces.

Were they NPCs in the game?

“A large group of terrorists spotted in Sector A. The advance group is being pinned down. Repeat, the advance group is being pinned down! Calling backup! Calling backup!”

The soldier at the led was running towards Lin Xi and shouting for help into his portable radio—but was promptly shot through his leg even before he could move more than a few paces.

He fell right beside Lin Xi’s feet, and Lin Xi could clearly see that his face and uniform were dripping with blood.

A cutscene? Or was it some side quest?

Lin Xi looked up—nearby, a knight wearing a skull-face armor was standing on top a two-storied building, while on the ground, a bunch of orcs was brandishing their clubs as they charged towards Lin Xi.

In that instant, Lin Xi did not even think before casting an inspection spell.

[Gray Orc Slave, Normal, Level 7, HP: 1000]

[Stronger Orc, Normal, Level 15, HP: 2340]

[Rainer the Fallen Legion Archer, Elite, Level 29, HP: 9791]

A bunch of orcs ranging from Level 5 to less than 20, and a Level 29 Elite…

Lin Xi was confident that he could handle them.

With that, he drew out his main weapon—an automatic handgun—and headed towards the legion of orcs.

“Kid! What are you doing?! Get the hell back!”

When the soldier who had been calling for help saw Lin Xi in his leather jacket and a cowboy hat, he got the impression that he was some hedonistic hoodlum.

“Don’t worry, friend. I have a gun,” Lin Xi said, twirling the Ranger Automatic Handgun—his primary weapon.

It was a Blue-grade item. Although Cannoneers should by logic be wielding hand cannons, Lin Xi had only completed his class advancement yesterday and did not have the time to change his primary weapon.

“Where did you get that gun? Whatever… it’s useless against them, kid!”

The soldier couldn’t care less about gun laws at the moment—in his eyes, Lin Xi was a mere young man with an eighth-grader syndrome, showing off with his little pistol.

“A handgun is useless? What about this boy?” With a quick wave of Lin Xi’s hand, machine parts began to appear out of thin air over his left palm, which he finally built into an antitank rocket launcher.

“You…” The soldier was left completely dumbstruck.

If they had met just the day before, that would have been enough to have Lin Xi sent to the firing squad!
