NPC's Poverty Story

Chapter 44 The War That Breaks Out Early

In the middle of the night, the scorching fire ignited half of the sky, and the roar of artillery fire awakened the silent night. The war in Jiangcheng broke out without warning.

The army of the Dawn Alliance outside the city cooperated with the lurking members inside and outside, and Jiangcheng, which had been blocked for several days in a row, was completely opened. A shell accurately landed on the administrative building of the Imperial Administration in Jiangcheng, igniting a raging fire.

Shuguang's army entered Jiangcheng, followed by a group of players who had been waiting outside the city for a long time.

A war suddenly broke out in the once peaceful Jiangcheng. The sleeping people were awakened by the sound of gunfire. The city fell into chaos for a while, and confusion and panic enveloped everyone's heart.

Although this is a long-premeditated war, for these ordinary people, everything is so sudden.

The city fell into chaos, the army of the Empire and the army of the Dawn were fighting, and the players who mixed in were cautiously shuttled through the streets and alleys.

This kind of war is not something they can intervene at the moment, so many players who have received An Mio's mission just want to contact An Mio quickly and buy some weapons for self-protection.

The task An Mio gave them was to be able to complete it at level five, and they had also met the requirement a few days ago, but they were blocked outside the city and couldn't get in, and the block lasted for several days.

Fortunately, the current central area where Dawn and the Empire are fighting is near the city center, and other places are relatively safe.

The current state of this group of players can be roughly divided into two types, one is a lone ranger, and the other is a small-scale team.

Lone Rangers are naturally those players who have bought weapons before. They have some combat power here, and they walk alone in the city looking for opportunities.

The other type is the players who have received An Mio's mission. Several of them form a small team to look for An Mio's whereabouts. Although An Mio has left a string of phone numbers before, it is not easy to find a phone booth here.

……

"I thought it was just a simple map, but I didn't expect it to start with a nightmare difficulty! We can't participate in the battle at our current level!"

"This war is not prepared for us novices at all, is it? Let us be cannon fodder?"

"What kind of ghost designed the difficulty of the game, is it so perverted?"

"As we all know, this game is also called "One Hundred Ways to Die as Cannon Fodder"."

In the player forum at this time, the players in Jiangcheng were wailing. The new map they had been waiting for for a long time had nothing to do with them, and everything that was happening now had nothing to do with them.

When the war broke out, An Mio was naturally awakened. During the day, she was still worried about her safety, but the war started in the middle of the night.

For the time being, there should be no need to worry. In the face of war, who has time to take care of her as a weapons dealer?
The fighting has not spread to the old city yet, but the tranquility of the past is no longer here. The sound of gunfire and gunpowder smoke fill the entire city.

An Mio did not act rashly, but looked at the news on the player forum. It was similar to what she expected. After the war started, the blockade of Jiangcheng was broken, and the players had already entered here.

She believed that players would contact her soon, and it was time to make some preparations. She had to take the initiative to find those players without exposing her location and identity.

An Mio expressed incomprehension to the wailing of the players in the forum, who do you blame for your low level?Who is to blame for the low combat power?
What if you charged [-]?

An Mio didn't know that it was herself who caused the current situation.

Originally, this war would not have broken out so early. At least another ten days and a half months would pass. At that time, the average player level would reach around level ten. After the faction system was opened, players could choose to join the Empire or the Dawn faction.

The players who played the main role in the subsequent wars were also the players, but because of a series of actions by Mio, this rhythm was directly disrupted, which led to the early outbreak of the war between the empire and the dawn, and the players' level and combat effectiveness did not reach the standard.

Although An Mio is not aware of this, this change is undoubtedly beneficial to her, and this group of players does not have the ability to compete with her for benefits.

Not long after, An Mio received a call from a team of players.

So An Mio started to act, and changed into her previous clothes. Now she no longer needs a car to transport weapons, which is what An Mio is most satisfied with.

The city is quite chaotic, and An Mio doesn't have to worry about attracting the attention of others, after all, these people are too busy to take care of themselves now.

Quickly walking through the streets of the old city, An Mio quickly found the player team that contacted her just now according to the location on the map.

There are a total of five players in this team of players. Only one person has reached the highest level of level six. The other four have just reached level five. In An Miao's eyes, they are just a bunch of rookies.

However, An Mio will not evaluate a player based on their strength. She now evaluates players based on whether they have star coins. As long as they have star coins and are not as strong as themselves, they are good players.

An Mio, a player who is stronger than herself, thinks that there should be none at present, and she probably won't have one in the future. After all, she can rely on this group of players to gain a lot of experience, and players can only do task upgrades by themselves. There is also no way to buy experience points.

After a brief transaction, An Mio left here. These five people were still satisfactory to her, and they seemed to have come prepared.

It's just that An Mio didn't mention the mission that they were supposed to help, because the war broke out early, and this group of people didn't have any fighting power at all.

Not long after leaving, An Mio received a call again, and she immediately rushed to the next location.

When she released the mission in Wulan Town, there were more than 40 players, but An Mio knew that there were definitely more than these gathered in Jiangcheng.

And her goal now is to sell all these weapons, and she will have no time to sell these things for the time being.

Although Suguang is now attacking the administrative building of the Imperial Administration, Yasuo knows that Suguang's real goal is not there.

The experimental base hidden somewhere underground in the city is their goal, and that is also An Mio's goal. Now she has the strength to fish in troubled waters.

Before that, harvesting a wave of players' star coins and experience to improve yourself can make this operation safer.

Since the vicinity of the city center belongs to the battle zone between the empire and the dawn, the range of activities of the players is also limited to the old city and the outskirts of the city. Find squads of players scattered among them.

At this time, the players saw An Mio as if they had seen a savior. In this environment, only the weapons in An Mio's hands could give them a little psychological comfort.

But if they knew that the current encounter was entirely caused by An Mio, then they might only be full of thoughts about killing An Mio.

It's a pity that even An Mio doesn't know about this matter, and it's naturally impossible for others to know about it.

Apart from other things, An Mio at this moment is an angel in the hearts of the players. Although she needs to spend money, she has no complaints.

An Mio didn't know the weird thoughts in their hearts, she just wanted to cut leeks.

In the chaotic city, most people would not notice An Mio's petite figure shuttling around the edge of the city.
