The Imperial Capital, the capital of the entire empire, is also the largest city. Becoming a person of high power here is the dream of everyone who arrives in the Imperial Capital.
Looking at the prosperous hotel, he wanted to go in and order some food, but when he looked at the remaining money in his hand, he realized it was probably not enough for a week of Internet access. He needed to save a little.
Now he had to do two things: find his companions who set out first, and then take his companions to the Internet and make money in this city, make a lot of money, and make his hometown rich after becoming a big shot.
However...
He looked at the guns in the system backpack. According to Liu Yuan's recommendation, he not only bought Red Alert, but also bought Elden Ring and Resident Evil. These two games could provide him with props to help hunt Danger Beasts.
He believed it because Liu Yuan said that if it wasn't useful, he wouldn't charge money.
He also tried it; these were indeed useful. He paid but did not hunt Danger Beasts because he felt that using these to become a soldier and a superior person might make more money than hunting Danger Beasts. One week is a short time, but it is enough for him to try.
While walking on the street, he found something very strange. Many people on the street had red health bars above their heads, some very light, and some very dark.
This was something he had never seen before. He also bought the two most basic games and had a system backpack. Unfortunately, the system backpack could only hold items obtained in the game; other things could not be placed in it.
"What are these?"
While walking, he suddenly noticed that a girl protected by many bodyguards had a deep red health bar above her, with the word "enemy" marked on it.
"Huh?"
The girl's name was Arya, with long golden wavy hair, a delicate face, and gorgeous clothes that made people feel good upon seeing her.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Before Tatsumi made a move, the girl approached him first. If it was before, he would have been nervous when approached by such a cute girl and might have thought she was a good person based on his first impression.
But after playing some games and understanding the function of the health bar, he became alert.
"It's my first time in the capital. I have no money and don't know what to do."
Tatsumi was telling the truth. Although he was pure, he was not stupid. To be promoted smoothly in the big city, he learned how to disguise himself under the guidance of retired soldiers in his hometown.
Besides, he didn't need to disguise himself. He just smiled and pretended to know nothing.
"Is that so? My name is Arya. Do you want to come to my house to be my bodyguard? I can give you delicious food and a lot of money."
"Can I?"
"Of course!"
Tatsumi had to admit that this woman gave him a very good first impression, but the blood-red health bar reminded him that this woman was not simple, and he could not fall into her trap.
Following Arya to her home, her parents immediately gave Tatsumi a friendly welcome. He catered to them on the surface but remained alert in his heart.
Because her parents also had health bars, and the word "big enemy" was enough to confirm his suspicion.
One day, they smiled until night and assigned Tatsumi a good room. As it got dark, Tatsumi took action. The symbol of an enemy doesn't appear out of thin air, and he had to investigate the mansion carefully.
The mansion was large, and the security was very strict. It was a pity that these people mainly focused on the outside and the owner and his relatives. There was no strict patrol in other places. No one thought that Tatsumi, a countryman, would not launch a sneak attack but explore other areas.
He searched half of it and smelled blood in front of a warehouse.
This warehouse did not even have security personnel, and he easily entered. But the moment he did, he felt as if his heart stopped.
His childhood sweetheart Sayu and his best friend Ieyasu.
"!!!"
The moment he saw them, Tatsumi's head was in a mess. Sayu was in a very bad state, with many scars. In a seriously injured state, it seemed she only had one breath left. Ieyasu was better than Sayu, with more breath left, but it seemed she could not survive.
The water in this Imperial Capital is too deep.
"Damn it!"
His anger burned in his heart, but he controlled it and opened TT for help.
"Can anyone help me? I'll do anything for you."
This short sentence was enough to prove the seriousness of the matter.
Tatsumi was a newcomer who had joined the Internet cafe less than half a month ago. However, almost everyone knew this newcomer. Since he joined, he had been making guides based on the information provided by everyone.
Every guide was posted by him after he personally tested it and found it useful. Almost all players agreed that Tatsumi's guides were foolproof. After reading them, they felt that even if they were newcomers, they could pass the game by following his guides.
After a while, everyone had a good impression of him even though they had never met him.
Before anyone asked what was going on, Liu Yuan replied directly: "Don't panic when something happens. Explain the danger you are in, what kind of assistance you need, what the on-site environment is like, and whether there are special treatment methods in your world."
Liu Yuan's words woke Tatsumi up. He sorted out his thoughts and replied: "My friends has been tortured to death. Help me save my friends. It's very dangerous here. There are many monsters. I can't kill them all..."
Tatsumi had a certain understanding of his own strength. He could deal with Danger Beasts, but there were too many people in the mansion. He couldn't handle it, especially since his best friends and childhood sweetheart were there.
Akemi Homura: "I can help."
Yoshida Saki: "I can too."
Namikaze Minato: "I can fight a little, Kushina can treat a little, and both of us can come."
Subaru Natsuki, Fujimaru Kaoru, and Tina also said they could help, and some were even ready to pay to apply to go to Tatsumi's world to help.
Seeing the people ready to help, Liu Yuan gave up the idea and started to dispatch: "Minato, go. Yoshida Saki or Akemi Homura will do. Remember to bring the golden apple."
Almost instantly, the few people Liu Yuan mentioned appeared in the warehouse where Tatsumi was. The moment they arrived, Yoshida Saki felt a little nauseous because of physical discomfort.
Minato Namikaze was also scared when he saw this scene. Konoha has the Anbu, and they will interrogate prisoners, but no matter what, they will not torture to this extent. At most, they will cut the neck with a knife and obtain the memory in the brain through special secret techniques, but this...
The hair was gone, there was no intact skin on the body, and even the teeth in the mouth were broken.
Kushina did not hesitate and directly treated Sayu, who was the most seriously injured.
"I can only prolong her life, but I can't completely cure her..."
"Just feed this to her."
Yoshida Saki also took out the golden apple. The golden apple can restore life after eating, and if the body is incomplete, it can even grow bones and flesh.
"Thank you, thank you."
At this moment, Tatsumi's tears flowed. He vowed that he would do his best to repay these friendly "companions" from the Internet cafe.
