Chapter 300 – Paris in the Flames of War
Wei Xiao Bei was initially not aware that his charm had now increased to 13.72 points!
For a normal person, this number could already be considered as handsome. With his muscular body, it was easy to imagine how attractive he was to women.
What’s more, romance in France was from top to bottom and all around.
However, for a conventional Chinese man like Wei Xiao Bei, this was already not on the level of romance but immorality!
In the end, Wei Xiao Bei could not endure their ravings anymore and wore sunglasses and a scarf.
When he reached the hotel, he lied down on bed and opened a few bottles of brandy. This was something that could not be helped. French alcohol was fundamentally made with fermented grapes that were also called sweet liquor.
Although Wei Xiao Bei was not a veteran in wine, he did not like the sweetness from sweet liquor.
Luckily, brandy could be brought anywhere in the world.
After drinking five bottles, his mind swayed as he gradually fell asleep.
Paris, France!
Without a doubt, the Dust World here should be more bustling.
Naturally, bustling was from Wei Xiao Bei’s description of the Dust World.
He already understood that the deeper the history of a place was, and the more people there were, then the Dust World would also be more bustling, meaning that there were more monsters.
Paris, France was a place that had always been compressed with people.
……
Before Wei Xiao Bei even opened his eyes, he could already hear the loud boom of cannons. At the same time, the ground below him was shaking.
When he opened his eyes, the first thing he did was jump close to the window.
The thick scent of smoke entered his nose.
Wei Xiao Bei was on the 38th floor. Although it was not the top floor of the hotel, he could still clearly see many things in the surroundings.
Just like other places in the Dust World, this place also projected buildings from the real world like 40 floor tall skyscrapers or neat, orderly roads.
However, the situation outside was different from the real world. In the huge plaza far away where the status of Napoleon was erected, there were groups of soldiers wearing military uniforms from the Napoleonic era colored red, white, and blue.
At this moment, they were ordered in rows of straight lines while raising their long flintlock guns under the command of an officer. In front of the soldiers were two bronze cannons that were shooting out big cannon balls at their enemies.
Without a doubt, these soldiers were Napoleon’s French army.
The opposing force was wearing gray military uniform. They were also lined up in rows and when they advanced enough distance, the military officer would stop them and order them to take aim and fire. Afterwards, with a whistle, they charged towards the French army with the bayonets attached to their guns.
It was the Russian army.
However, the cannons of the French army were able to blast the Russian soldiers into meat paste.
Could this be the War of the Sixth Coalition that happened in Europe?
Ping! Ping! The sound of guns echoed as the charging Russian forces were all shot down by the French army.
Before the Russian army had even reached the French army, their soldiers had already fallen from the salvo of the guns and cannon. The remaining Russian army could not handle the threat of death anymore as they all turned around and retreat.
The French army took this chance to pursue and kill the enemy. In the end, the number of Russian soldiers that were able to escape did not exceed 30. Moreover, in this battle, there were more than 300 Russian soldiers facing against the 400 French soldiers.
When the battle ended, the French forces began to perform maintenance on their weapons and cleaning the dust inside the gun barrels. A portion of their forces began to clean up the Russian corpses.
This was the Dust World of France.
Although Wei Xiao Bei knew that the Dust World reflected human thoughts, he never imagined that France would show him the War of the Sixth Coalition.
Soon, another thousand man force arrived wearing blue and red. This should be Prussia’s army
Another battle erupted again.
The two sides began to engage in another gun fight.
Comparing the both sides, the French army had was better in quality. Even if their allies were shot to the ground, they still continued to fire in a cycle of clean, load, and fire.
In their eyes, this was not a war. It was only normal cyclic work as if they were farmers polishing rice.
On the other hand, the Prussian army who had rushed to the battlefield were much more chaotic.
After being attacked by artillery, the Prussian army which had exceeded the French in number showed signs of collapse.
If their officer did not put energy into waving his military knife and attempt to kill fleeing soldiers, the French army would have once again gained overwhelming victory.
However, once the Prussian army steadied their troop formation, the French army’s casualties began to increase.
In the end, a force of more than 200 Austrian cavalry had arrived and attacked the side of the French army, causing them to collapse and flee in disorder.
Under the pursuit of the Austrian cavalry, the number of French soldiers that were able to escape did not exceed 20, taking revenge for the Russian army.
This battle should have ended.
After understanding the situation, Wei Xiao Bei prepared to go down and earn some evolution points.
From the previous battle, he could estimate that the status values of the different armies in the Dust World was only a slightly stronger than the normal soldiers in the real world.
These opponents were the best suited for farming evolution points.
Naturally, the firepower of the flintlock was now low. It could be seen just from the holes on the walls that the bullets created were not weaker than modern firearms. The only problem was that it was troublesome to set up.
On the other hand, the small bronze cannons were able to smash holes into hard limestone walls, making them equivalent to modern bazookas in firepower.
Without a doubt, this was the difference between the real world and the Dust World.
Even if that was so, these mid 19th century soldiers would need to reach several requirements to defeat Wei Xiao Bei.
For example, they would need to surround Wei Xiao Bei with tens of thousands of soldiers in an open field.
With thousands of guns that were not any weaker than Ak47s, they should be able to make Wei Xiao Bei experience crushing defeat.
Naturally, as long as Wei Xiao Bei had not gone crazy, he would never allow such a thing to happen.
Wei Xiao Bei jumped out from the window and stepped on the wall.
Activate Ground Rooting!
Wei Xiao Bei’s body was perpendicular to the wall as he observed the surroundings below. In the end, he had decided the Austrian cavalry that were chasing the French as his target.
After deactivating [Ground Rooting], Wei Xiao Bei shot down from the ground like an iron ball. When he reached the 20th floor, he stamped on the wall and glided towards the roof of a 12-floor building close by.
Bang!
With a loud boom, Wei Xiao Bei landed on the roof that was covered in pipes and a ruined central air conditioning system.
Although his descent was perfect, he still furrowed his brows.
It was not that he was injured from the fall, but the force of the impact when he landed was too big. This had dissatisfied him.
Should I go learn Qinggong?
Wei Xiao Bei immediately threw his thoughts to the back of his mind.
As a Guo Shu expert, he understood the requirements to learning Qinggong.
‘Gifted Skeletal Structure’, this phrase was something that had different meanings in various different martial arts.
If a Qinggong user sa a thin and soft child, they would call them gifted.
On the other hand, a hidden weapon expert would call people who had long arms and large palms as gifted.
As for Bajiquan, the phrase meant tall height,thick and solid bones, and muscular physique.
Naturally, it did not mean that only these people could learn martial arts.
However, Wei Xiao Bei was incredibly muscular, and his cells were densely packed. It would be a bit hard for him to learn Qinggong.
Perhaps because of his status and kills, he had enough power to jump high, but making a soft landing was something he could not do.
In short, he was like an artillery shell.
In this way, the noise from Wei Xiao Bei’s action was huge that it would attract his enemiesy’ attention. This could create a lot of problems.
With a stride, he directly leaped down the roof while leaving a trail of shattered cement.
For Wei Xiao Bei, jumping down 10 floors was not a big deal anymore. As long as he could properly control his strength, he would also be able to jump down 30-40 floor without any injuries.
As he landed on the ground, he observed the tracks left behind by the Austrian cavalry and chased after them.
In truth, Paris was a very big city, and it was one of the centers of politics, economics, arts, culture, commerce, and amusement of the world. Paris was a city covered in many streets and roads. The amount was enough to make people confused.
In the Dust World, on the other hand, the roads were even more chaotic as countless ruined buildings and roads would easily make a person lose their way.
