Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Chapter 508 The Polluted City (2)

“Click, click.”

After his hands were handcuffed behind his back, "Adenauer" was able to move freely, which also heralded the official start of the dungeon process. This dungeon called Johor Bahru City was a bit strange. It had no fixed main quest requirements. That is to say, players would not receive any main quests from beginning to end. Of course, this also meant that players had a very high degree of freedom.

However, it is also because of this that the experience of the Johor Bahru dungeon on the forum is not necessarily useful even if you remember all of it. The extremely high degree of freedom is often accompanied by extremely high randomness. What situations each player will encounter are all random, and there are rarely repeated situations. However, it is precisely because of the high randomness of the Johor Bahru dungeon that it attracts a large number of players, not only attracting players to play in person, but also attracting many fans who like to watch others' live broadcasts. After all, this is also an opportunity to obtain mission information without risking your life. Although the randomness of Johor Bahru is very high, what if?

So naturally, there were quite a few people watching the live broadcast of the "Adenauer" instance this time. But Han Zu was not aware of this, mainly because Xinshan City was a new instance that appeared shortly after he disappeared, so he naturally had no idea about the relevant situation. Although he searched for Xinshan City on the forum, because he originally used the keyword "Instances that can obtain growth weapons" for targeted search, he did not find any news about the popularity of Xinshan City, or other related information, so he naturally did not know that at this time in the official live broadcast channel of "Adenauer", a large number of fans and players had already started a very heated discussion.

"Wow! This Adenauer is such a hard worker! How long has it been since he last cleared a dungeon? A week?"

"No, Adenauer usually enters the dungeon only every two or three days at most."

"Three days exactly. The last dungeon he cleared was a long dungeon that focused on solving puzzles. Three days is considered a long time. I guess he took the time to rest. Anyway, the last dungeon wasn't dangerous, but it was quite brain-burning."

"Why did he just stop moving after the opening animation? Was he just in a daze?"

"If you look closely, he is observing the internal structure of the cell."

"But the prison city where the cell is located is still far away from the official process area of the dungeon. Isn't this a bit too cautious?"

"It may just be his habit. Don't forget that when he was still a novice, he was able to successfully clear a new dungeon that was far higher than his level. If he didn't have this habit of observing the environment at all times, it wouldn't be so easy to clear it."

"Shouldn't it be good luck?"

"Luck is also a part of strength. Moreover, you can't go far in the Infinite City dungeon just by relying on luck, even if you have a job with a high luck attribute. Moreover, the job change that Adenauer chose has basically nothing to do with luck."

"I know Adenauer is a gunner, so...what is his profession?"

"newcomer?"

"Well, not long ago my friend recommended the player Adenauer to me, saying he was very good. I was curious, so I came to take a look."

"Then your friend is a connoisseur. It just so happens that there are quite a few "Ajia experts" in the channel right now. Let them introduce you. "Ajia experts"! Come out and work!"

"I'm coming!"

Every unique player will have a considerable number of fans, which is especially evident among the players of Infinite City. However, unlike other groups, the players of Infinite City support a person or thing not only based on strength. Even if a person's strength is average or even low, as long as he has something unique, he will be sought after by players with the same or similar characteristics. Naturally, these players who have a thorough understanding of other players are jokingly called "such and such scholars", and their base is not small. Even in the Infinite City, there is a player organization composed of various scholars not only in the player forum, but even inside the Infinite City. They jokingly named it the "Royal Academic Exchange Meeting", but surprisingly, this platform, which was originally a platform for various "factional" scholars to chat and joke, actually obtained the official support and certification of the Infinite City after reaching a certain scale, and the official also participated in it. Every once in a while, it will even release some rankings based on actual data and player discussions, and evaluate from many aspects such as strength, uniqueness, popularity, etc., and even regularly gather the best among them for some unique competitions funded by the official, and there will be generous rewards regardless of winning or losing. Even those players who do not participate in the competition and just watch the live broadcast will get some small rewards.

However, if Han Zu knew this, he would definitely feel something was wrong. After all, this situation where players and officials seemed to be enjoying each other was completely different from the time when he first came into contact with Infinite City. In fact, when Han Zu created the "Adenauer" vest, he missed a very important piece of information. That is, the most important item in the player terms has changed. The original clause that "after the player dies, the body will be unconditionally donated to the Infinite Company" has been deleted. However, Han Zu is not very careful about everything. Faced with the lengthy and annoying legal terms, "Adenauer" chose to directly pull the progress bar this time, pulled it to the bottom and then chose to confirm. After all, "Adenauer" was originally a fake identity.

"Adenauer initially chose the most basic initial profession among the gunner-type professions, which is the rifleman in the amateur gunner series. The professional skill is a passive skill. A headshot restores one ammunition of the current weapon. It's pretty useless. However, Adenauer's own shooting skills are very good. And he probably had a certain understanding of the Infinite City before becoming a player of the Infinite City. Therefore, the dungeons he chose in the early stage were some regular level-up dungeons. However, during the level-up process, he accidentally entered the new dungeon with a bunker style at that time. He successfully passed the level with his own thinking. It was also at that time that he was noticed by other players, but the number of people was not large."

"Soon after clearing the bunker dungeon, Adenauer's level reached the level required for the first job change, and he immediately started the job change mission. The initial job of the amateur gunner series can be said to be the starting point of all gunner-type jobs, so the restrictions on job changes are very small, or even negligible. However, most people would choose a gunner-type job with a long gun. After all, they started as amateur riflemen. If they continue to use the long gun, they will still have a little experience advantage. However, Adenauer did not do so at the time. His first full-time job was a job called "Doomsday Guardian."

"'Doom Guard'? It sounds awesome!"

"Then you are wrong. Don't forget that this is just the first job transfer. It is impossible to be a powerful job no matter how you think about it. The so-called Doomsday Guard is actually something like the security personnel in the gathering place in the wasteland background copy. It is essentially a low-level guard. Due to its professional characteristics, most of its attacks will have a small degree of poison and radiation attributes, but these effects are also negligible in actual combat. Although according to another characteristic of the profession, there is no limit to the types of guns and weapons that the Doomsday Guard can use, most of them are garbage weapons, either with almost no accuracy, or with shockingly low durability, and they will fall apart after a few shots, so the upper limit of this profession can basically be said to be non-existent. So this is an unpopular gunner job transfer, not because it is rare, but because it is too garbage, which is one of the reasons why not many people have heard of this profession."

"Huh? So rubbish?"

"Well, if Adenauer's marksmanship wasn't strong enough, if it was someone else, he would have changed his profession in no time. In fact, many of us thought that Adenauer chose the unpopular and useless profession of Doomsday Guard because he was deceived by the impressive-sounding name. But now it seems that he chose this on purpose."

"Intentionally choosing a crappy profession? What do you mean? Is there anything special about this?"

"After Adenauer changed his job to Doomguard, things did not go smoothly for a while. Most of his failures so far happened at that time. Many times, it was because the weapon suddenly fell apart, causing the attack that should have been successful to fail, and the enemy seized the opportunity. We thought at the time that he might want to change to another job, but Adenauer did not. He continued to use the garbage class of Doomguard to get through the period of his first job change, and then to now. It was only after he completed his second job change that we understood why he used such a garbage class as Doomguard to get through this golden period of player improvement."

"Could it be that this rubbish profession of Doom Guard actually have some hidden characteristics?"

"Yes and no."

"What do you mean?"

"The Doomguard profession itself doesn't have any hidden special features. It's really a rubbish profession, but the combat habits developed by using this rubbish profession are really a good experience, at least for Adenauer. Due to the rubbish characteristics of the Doomguard profession, basically all the weapons, armor, and props obtained during this period have a durability level of stinky dog shit. They will break down after a few uses. This passively forces Adenauer to frequently change the weapons he uses. After all, if he doesn't do that, there is a high probability that he will fail at an important moment, resulting in a rollover. Adenauer himself has had a lot of experience. Different types of weapons require different fighting methods, so before Adenauer experienced his second job change, he could be seen frequently changing different fighting methods in battle, and the span was even very large. He might have been sniping from a distance a few minutes ago, and a few minutes later he was fighting with people with a shotgun."

"Ah? But isn't it a taboo for the gunner profession to frequently change the fighting method and cause a large change in the fighting distance? Can this really work? After hearing what you said, I feel a headache, not to mention Adenauer himself. He personally experienced this passive situation. I can't imagine how embarrassed he was at that time."

"That's right. For players of the Gunner type profession, determining the engagement distance is a very important point in the entire profession. Choosing the appropriate engagement distance according to one's own situation can not only make one's combat more convenient, but also greatly increase one's own safety. For example, if you let a sniper engage in close combat with someone holding a shotgun, he will definitely call you a psycho. Similarly, if you let a player who mainly engages in close combat or short-range combat use a short-range gun in his hand to engage in combat with others at a very long distance, they will definitely think you are stupid. Therefore, almost 13% of Gunner type players will generally control the engagement distance to the distance they are accustomed to, and will not change the location or even the fighting method in the middle of a fight like Adenauer did."

"Take sniper-type professions as an example. A sniper's adaptive engagement distance is naturally a long distance, and they will definitely try their best to control the engagement distance within this range. However, in the process of fighting, unexpected situations are inevitable. Perhaps there are too many enemies and they have no one else to help cover them, or the enemy is too fast and can avoid the attack and rush to the close range, or there are other similar factors, etc. Snipers are always forced to engage the enemy at an uncomfortable distance. Although gunner-type professions often have multiple weapons to prevent this situation, for example, snipers will bring some secondary weapons with fast attack speed and good control, such as submachine guns or automatic pistols, which can protect themselves to a certain extent. However, due to their profession, their proficiency in these secondary weapons is definitely not as high as that of the primary weapons. One or two enemies are okay, but if they encounter an unexpected situation like a global event, a large-scale, long-term, high-pressure situation where they cannot maintain an adaptive engagement distance, then they will be very passive."

"Wait, after hearing what you said... I seem to understand why Adenauer chose to continue using the rubbish profession of Doomguard even though he failed several times! Due to the rubbish characteristics of the profession, Adenauer often passively changes various weapon types and various combat distances. Although the distance and type of combat method may vary greatly, and most of the time it is a passive choice, it is precisely because of this situation that Adenauer has a certain amount of experience in combat ranges of various distances, and his proficiency in various weapons is also considerable during the training under such circumstances, right?!"

"Right! You're getting the idea! It's precisely because of this kind of self-inflicted, high-intensity and torturous "training" that Adenauer's fighting style is completely different from that of normal professional gunners. If you want to snipe at someone from the middle, he can do it. If you want to splash water at close range, he can do it, too. Even if you hide and play the sixth man, and lay traps and mines, he can still do it. Moreover, because of his long-term and frequent experience of passively forcing him to change weapons, his proficiency in all types of firearms is basically at the same level. So as long as it is a firearm, Adenauer can use it, and there is no need to find a suitable combat distance, because as mentioned before, any distance is a suitable combat range for him."

"Yes, and that's why he had many careers to choose from when he changed his job for the second time, because his proficiency in various weapons had reached or even exceeded the required level. However, his choice at that time was beyond our expectations. After all, we all thought that he would choose a career that was highly adaptable to various distances and weapons, such as "Wine Taster", "Rebellious Agent", or "Gun Master". However, he chose another unpopular career. I had to go to the official database to find out what this career was."

"Yes, now that you mention it I remember it now. His name seemed to be something like... Commander of Loneliness? Is that his name?"

"That's right, but according to some players who have experience with this profession, they gave the Lonely Commander a very suitable nickname."

"Oh! I remember now! A lone commander! Right?"

"That's right! He is the commander without any troops!"

"Huh? That sounds... weak!"

"Weak? Then the scorer, at least in Adenauer's hands, a commander without troops is not weak at all."

"Then what is the specific effect of this second job change of Lonely Commander? What abilities does it have? What kind of weapons does it have?"

"The profession of the Lonely Commander... Wait a minute, the plot has begun to continue. Adenauer has left the prison and came to the prison van outside the prison gate. Let's take a look first. I will continue after he gets in the van."
