Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Chapter 506: Strange Calmness and the Experienced Gunner "Adenauer"

Three months later, summer.

"Are you going back now?"

"Well, Xin still needs my help with some things, and your troops also need a second test. If the second test goes well and Xin's work is done, I should be able to rest for a while. Let's go."

"Om~"

Gloria, who had not been seen for a long time, came to Han Zu's bunker on the island a few days ago and brought him some news from the Tig people and the contractor. There were many things, but they were not important. What was more important was the biochemical army that Han Zu intended to form before. According to the information brought by Gloria, the formation of the army has completed the preliminary stage and has passed the first test. According to the various data obtained from the test, the combat effectiveness of these biochemical armies is considerable. With the technical support of the contractor, the combat effectiveness of each unit of this biochemical army, which currently has 500 people, has almost reached the strength of ordinary contractor sentinels. However, there is still a lack of materials. Although the combat effectiveness is strong, their defense is not good enough. Some basic vehicle-mounted weapons can cause effective damage to them. Therefore, under Gloria's improvement, some biochemicals have been remade with new materials and are ready for secondary testing. If the test is successful, the combat capability of these biochemicals will be on par with ordinary armored Tig soldiers, which is a great improvement.

After reporting the information to Han Zu, Gloria did not stay, but directly returned to the contractor's site through teleportation. Han Zu also began to think about what had happened during this period.

Strangely enough, ever since he accidentally entered the new copy, for the past three months, Infinite Company and the Ferdinand family seemed to be asleep and did not make any moves. Han Zu used almost all the means he could use, but failed to find any useful intelligence. During this period of investigation, everyone in Infinite Company, from the management to the ordinary employees, were doing their usual work every day. As for intelligence, it was normal if Han Zu could not find anything. After all, Infinite Company and the Ferdinand family had ways and methods to make the contractor's equipment impossible to investigate.

But the strange thing is that in the past three months, Han Zu's investigation of Unlimited Company and Feidenan Family was like a transparent glass. He could easily find all kinds of information about all the people and projects he wanted to investigate, and all the information showed that neither Unlimited Company nor Feidenan Family had made any big moves in the past three months. This strange calm even made Han Zu doubt whether the other party had discovered his whereabouts, so he carefully checked his actions during this period and confirmed that he would not be exposed. It was this absolutely safe situation that made Han Zu a little unbelievable. A situation that seemed to be a trap, but in fact nothing happened.

The investigation yielded no results, so Han Zu temporarily focused on operating the fake account. After this period of processing, the "Adenauer" account had completed a second job transfer and entered the bottom team of the upper-class players. Although Han Zu tried to keep a low profile, his upgrade speed was still relatively fast, so it was inevitable that he also attracted some attention. Fortunately, about a month and a half ago, there were several other players who attracted the attention of a large number of players in the Infinite City. There were two main reasons. The first was that they also started operating with new accounts. Although the first half of the month was mediocre, in the following month, their upgrade speed was ridiculously fast, and even exceeded the previous record of players who upgraded significantly in the shortest time.

The second point is unusual. The personal abilities of these guys are like Han Zu who does not hide his abilities. In the initial stage of account creation, they showed combat power and combat thinking ability that did not match their level. At that time, some sharp-eyed players suspected that they used some cheating methods. After all, based on the combat experience they showed, they did not look like professionals who had undergone rigorous training and had certain combat experience. Their embarrassed reactions in some situations proved that they were not pretending to be bad players like Han Zu, but really had no combat experience. Without combat experience, but with combat abilities that did not match their level, it was inevitable that people would suspect them.

Soon, someone analyzed the battle videos of these players frame by frame, but surprisingly, these people did have the same strong strength, and they did not rely on any cheating methods. Even if the evidence was conclusive, there were still stubborn players who did not believe that they were really capable. Among these people, some groups still had some connections in society, so they used these connections to find several of the players and did a very childish thing, that is, to fight offline. The result was naturally obvious. Those who wanted to cause trouble were knocked down in a few moves. Similarly, this also proved that those players who quickly upgraded their levels were the real deal.

The discussion about whether the strength of this group of players is true is still going on to this day. However, as more and more offline fights are scheduled and the real videos are uploaded to the Infinite City forum by them or other witnesses, the heat of this kind of discussion has gradually decreased. Although it is impossible for it to disappear completely, at least not many people care about it anymore.

Han Zu was also curious about this matter for a while, and naturally investigated it, but his contractor's equipment was much more effective than those players' methods. It didn't take long for him to roughly understand the backgrounds of these people and found a connection point, that is, regardless of their status and family background in reality, these players had been to the Feidenan family's sphere of influence at about the same time. Although Han Zu could not detect the location of the Feidenan family's headquarters using the contractor's equipment, it was still easy to find some of their spheres of influence.

So after understanding this situation, Han Zu was not too concerned about it. It was obvious that most of these players were from the Feidenan family, or at least they were cooperating with the forces behind them, or they were selected by the Feidenan family. If these people behaved mediocrely, it would be abnormal, but in the current situation, after all, people from the Feidenan family should be quite capable, so Han Zu naturally lost his curiosity about them.

However, what gave me a headache for a while was that during the period when public opinion was the hottest, in order to debate whether these players who were connected to the Ferdinand family used cheating methods, the players on the forum used a lot of players with faster upgrade speeds to compare with them, including my own "Adenauer" account. I handled it very cleanly, so no one would doubt me, but because of this, my own account also attracted unnecessary attention, and at that time attracted many players to watch Han Zu's copy live broadcast and invite them to form a team. In order to reduce exposure as much as possible, Han Zu could only further slow down his upgrade speed, and even deliberately failed two copies. Although this disrupted Han Zu's plan to a certain extent, it did successfully reduce some of the attention on himself.

Today, the popularity of "Adenauer" has dropped to a normal level, but there are still a considerable number of basic fans left, and the reason they stayed is because of "Adenauer's" fighting style. This was also an unintentional move made by Han Zu in order to make his identity more credible.

Unlike most gunner-type players, "Adenauer" does not rely on active professional skills or powerful professional props. He is more pure. In almost all battles, the only things that "Adenauer" can use are the guns and ammunition in his hands, as well as a small number of throwing weapons, or some basic items such as booby traps. Moreover, among other gunner-type players, "Adenauer" is very valuable for always adhering to the action of changing positions after shooting a shot when facing long-range enemies. He does not use any powerful props or skills to keep guarding the same position. After all, according to common sense, according to the power of those skills and props, this approach is often very safe, but it also loses the soul of the gunner. This also leads to the fact that although there are many branches of the gunner profession, the final destination of most players is often a fixed turret, lacking the agile professional soul that the gunner should have. Although there are also quite a few players who try to move positions constantly in battle, the effect is often not as effective as being a fixed turret.

Therefore, when a player like "Adenauer" who possesses the soul of a Gunner appeared, he was naturally sought after by many Gunner players. Although their professions may have different characteristics and are suitable for different combat scenarios, for a master player like "Adenauer" who always keeps his original intention and does not turn the Gunner profession into another type of turret mage, the envy and pursuit are also natural.

The most important thing is that "Adenauer" is not fancy. He will not do the kind of show-off action that looks very popcorn-like, but the actual effect is inversely proportional to the degree of danger. He pays more attention to the effect of each attack. If the enemy is far away, he will use the weapon in his hand to carry out normal long-range sniping. If the enemy is very close, he will use shotgun-type weapons or fully automatic weapons with extremely fast firing rates to quickly annihilate nearby enemies or repel them, giving himself a chance to distance himself. If there are few people, he will kill at a fixed point and constantly change positions to prevent the opponent from counterattacking. If the number of enemies is large, "Adenauer" will not deliberately use gun fighting techniques or other fancy but impractical things just to show off. A powerful, simple and reliable grenade or bomb is often the way "Adenauer" deals with the crowd.

For some novice players, or players of average level, they think that "Adenauer" is exaggerated, and in fact his level is just so-so, very average, but among the players of medium and even high level, they know very well that "Adenauer"'s extremely practical and simple actions are the more powerful level. Because of this, "Adenauer" not only has a part of his fans, but also has a lot of players who don't like him. Although they boast that they will definitely defeat "Adenauer" easily if they meet him, and he is a guy who doesn't live up to his reputation, but when they really meet "Adenauer" and are kicked to death as if he is a roadside stray, they naturally restrain themselves a lot.

Another thing his fans like to talk about about Adenauer is that he doesn't like to talk much. Unless the mission requires it, he hardly says a word. And no matter what the situation is, even if he panics, he won't show it. Instead, he will try to stabilize his emotions and concentrate on overcoming difficulties. Of course, after winning a battle or defeating a powerful enemy, he won't be complacent. He will often just take a look, then reap the spoils and move on to the next step.

This observation after defeating a strong enemy has become a saying among Adenauer fans. They call it "the recognition of a seasoned shooter" or "Adenauer's" recognition. If a player, after fighting with Adenauer, even if he loses, takes a look at the defeated player, it means that he considers this person to be a difficult enemy to deal with. Then this player will be respected and valued by other professional shooters to a certain extent. After all, even Adenauer recognizes this person, so he must not be a fool.

Of course, it doesn't mean that only players with a level and quality similar to "Adenauer" will be "recognized". This is also why his fans prefer him. He will not look down on or despise the other party just because the other party is weaker than himself. Instead, he will observe carefully and find the special features of the other party. For example, a player may be a novice, with average shooting skills or no combat skills, but as long as he has some outstanding qualities or talents, "Adenauer" will give the other party enough respect, just like a lion fighting a rabbit with all his strength.

Because of this, players who lost to "Adenauer", no matter what level they were, would not harbor any resentment towards him, and would even respect this opponent. When "Adenauer" became a friendly companion in the team, they would often respect his opinions, but he did not raise any opinions, after all, "Adenauer" was a man of few words.

Wu Zhitu from the Quack Club is now one of Adenauer's fans. At first, other Gunner players in the guild recommended him the game video of Adenauer's completion of the bunker dungeon one month after they completed the dungeon. Especially after he knew that Adenauer had completed the new bunker dungeon like them, and was not only a player in the same batch as them, but also a novice, Wu Zhitu immediately took a new look at Adenauer. When he saw Adenauer's perspective, not only did it answer his doubts at the time, but he was also shocked by Adenauer's tactical thinking and courage when he was a novice. After all, using some rubbish weapons to deal with the current situation does not mean that one can do everything and dare to do everything.

Wu Zhitu is not a novice, nor is he an average player. He naturally understands how powerful Adenauer's extremely simplified action method is. Wu Zhitu is naturally not stingy with his praise for Adenauer. He has repeatedly said to other Gunner players in the guild and his friends who are also Gunner players, "If it's a one-on-one, even if my level is higher than Adenauer, I don't think I have a sure chance of winning. If his level is the same as mine and he has more experience, then I don't think I will be his opponent."

Not only Wuzhitu, but also some professional Gunner players who are similar to him or even stronger than him, have almost the same idea after learning about "Adenauer's" fighting style and experience, which leads to them occasionally coming to watch "Adenauer"'s games. Players like them already have a certain fan base, and some of their friends occasionally come to see who they are following, and they bring their own fan groups. As a result, more and more fans are attracted to "Adenauer".

So although Han Zu didn't want his vest to receive too much attention, and even deliberately made some stupid moves to lower the popularity, although the popularity was not the top, the fan base was not small. This did give him a headache for a while. However, as the level of the vest "Adenauer" increased and he gained experience, his popularity gradually averaged to a normal number, which also made Han Zu relieved. At least it did not attract the attention of Infinite City or Infinite Company. Otherwise, he would have created such a vest in vain. But now the effect is not bad, so he just left it alone.
