Feeling the undisguised look of disdain from Daniel, even Blade, who always presented a cool image, couldn't help but show a flicker of embarrassment on his face.
To effectively deal with these dark creatures, every bullet in his shotgun was mixed with expensive pure silver.
One clip of bullets would cost him at least several hundred U.S. dollars.
As an unemployed vagrant who hunted Vampires year-round, Blade's financial situation simply couldn't support such a luxurious way of 'watering' with bullets.
Otherwise, why do you think he carries that silver longsword to chop Vampires all day long?
Do you really think he's purely doing it to show off and look cool?
Hmm. Well, there is indeed a little bit of that reason.
"Give me the gun." Daniel extended his hand.
Blade hesitated, "My gun is out of…"
"5000 U.S. dollars, consider it bought by me."
"Catch! The gun and the remaining twenty bullets are all yours!"
Blade instantly became incredibly decisive, unhesitatingly throwing the shotgun in his hand, along with all the silver buckshot he carried, to Daniel.
Daniel: ( _ )
Bro, your cool persona really collapsed a bit too quickly.
Daniel steadily caught the shotgun, quickly loaded the bullets, raised the gun, and fired at the Vampires.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots rang out consecutively, and the heads of several Vampire gunmen instantly exploded!
The headless bodies swayed, then fell to the ground, quickly turning into puddles of ash.
Seeing Daniel's precise marksmanship, the remaining Vampires were terrified and immediately shrank behind cover, not daring to show their heads.
Seeing this, Daniel unhurriedly pulled out a few grenades, pulled the pins, and without even looking, threw them forcefully towards the Vampires' hiding places.
Boom!!
A huge explosion sounded!
Several unlucky Vampires were directly blown away by the grenades, their skin and flesh torn, falling to the ground and screaming in pain.
It must be said that Vampires' vitality is indeed tenacious; even with such severe injuries, their wails were still full of vigor.
Daniel raised his muzzle, finishing off the Vampires on the ground one by one, and the mission progress quickly increased by several points.
Seeing Daniel's ferocity, Quinn swallowed with difficulty, forcing himself to remain calm and shouted, "Don't be afraid! Let's go together! He can't kill all of us at once!"
The Vampires looked at each other, seemingly persuaded, and simultaneously raised their guns at Daniel.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
As the gunshots rang out, another layer of ash appeared on the ground.
Facts proved that Daniel certainly could.
Bang!
Daniel slightly raised his muzzle, precisely hitting Quinn's legs as he tried to escape in the chaos.
"He's yours."
Daniel ignored Quinn, who was wailing on the ground, and walked towards the Vampire Blade had just knocked down, carrying his watermelon knife to finish him off.
[Current Vampires killed: 665]
Looking at this number, Daniel frowned, feeling uncomfortable all over.
He turned his head and looked at Blade, who had just finished a brief interrogation of Quinn: "Do you want this kill?"
Blade shook his head: "No."
Swish!
A flash of blade, and Quinn's head instantly moved.
[Current Vampires killed: 666]
"Ah, that feels good!"
Daniel let out a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
.
Blade looked at Daniel's relieved expression and always felt that this guy seemed to have some special Hobbies.
Daniel put away his watermelon knife and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"
Blade said in a deep voice, "Quinn said Frost has been planning a big move recently. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm going to Frost's territory to search for him one by one and drag him out."
When Frost's name was mentioned, Blade's voice was filled with bone-chchilling coldness.
Frost killed his birth mother; he and Frost had an irreconcilable grudge, and this revenge must be taken!
Daniel grinned: "Coincidentally, I also need to hunt Vampires. How about we temporarily team up? You look for your Frost, and just leave the kills to me."
"Good."
Blade thought for a moment and then agreed to Daniel's suggestion.
He wasn't a stubborn person; with an extra powerful helper, the search for Frost would only be smoother.
The moment Blade agreed, the system's prompt sounded in Daniel's mind:
[NPC Eric Brooks has joined your team]
[You can view your teammate's personal panel]
Seeing the prompt, Daniel exclaimed, "This game actually has a team-up function? Why didn't it appear before?"
He remembered fighting a BOSS with Tony not long ago, and there was no such prompt then.
[Teaming up with an NPC requires the player to personally send an invitation. After the NPC agrees, the team can be successfully formed. NPCs do not have the authority to initiate team-ups proactively.]
"Then why didn't you say so earlier!" Daniel was speechless.
[This game has extremely high freedom, aiming to provide the most realistic immersive experience. All gameplay and plot developments are to be explored and discovered by players themselves.]
"Alright then."
Daniel pouted and curiously clicked on Blade's personal panel.
[NPC: Eric Brooks (Blade)]
[Race: Half-human, Half-Vampire]
[Attributes: Strength?, Agility?, Constitution?, Spirit? (Cannot view until favorability is reached)]
[Equipment: Cool Sunglasses, Bulletproof Armor, Silver Longsword, Silver Dagger]
[Favorability: 0]
"This guy is actually a half-human, half-Vampire."
Daniel was a bit surprised, but then he thought, does that make him half a Vampire?
If he chopped him, would the mission progress increase by 0.5?
At this moment, Daniel suddenly noticed that Blade's equipment slot seemed clickable, and he curiously tapped on the Silver Longsword.
[This NPC's favorability towards the player is insufficient, unable to remove this equipment.]
!!!
Daniel's eyes widened instantly.
He immediately asked the system, "According to this, as long as the NPC's favorability is high enough, I can freely remove their equipment!?"
[Yes]
Hiss~
Daniel gasped, contributing a little to global warming.
He seemed to have inadvertently discovered the game's god-tier mechanism!
Daniel looked at Blade, his gaze suddenly becoming incredibly enthusiastic: "Bro, do you have any missions? Or anything you need help with? I'm free anytime!"
"No."
Blade looked at the suddenly enthusiastic Daniel, feeling an inexplicable chill rise from his spine, as if some conspiracy awaited him.
The two did not linger in the nightclub.
After agreeing on the location and time for their next action, they left one after another.
Before leaving, Blade did not forget to carefully search for the silver buckshot scattered on the ground, even using a dagger to pry out those embedded in the wall.
These pure silver bullets were extremely precious to him; after taking them back, melting, and recasting them, they could be used again.
This is what it's like behind the scenes for a superhero, bittersweet and real.
And Daniel also asked Blade for some special equipment to deal with Vampires.
Blade was hesitant at first, as his equipment was all expensive.
But Daniel didn't say a word, directly pulling out a large stack of banknotes with Franklin's portrait.
Seeing Daniel try to insult him with money, Blade immediately turned hostile, snatched the Franklins in front of him, slammed them into his pocket, and then unhesitatingly took off his equipment and weapons, throwing them all to Daniel.
If Daniel hadn't explicitly stated that he wasn't interested in his iconic sunglasses, Blade would have even taken them off and given them to him as well.
It's no wonder Blade reacted so strongly.
After all, the price of pure silver had been soaring recently, and he was almost out of money to eliminate Vampires and protect New York.
