Notice, this man’s name is Adam. He is the protagonist of the game's DLC - Father's Promise chapter. Adam was originally a family of three, living in Bergglen with his wife Barbara and daughter Emilia. When the war broke out, they were unable to escape the city, but they were able to eke out a living. However, misfortunes never come singly, and Barbara fell ill and died because there was no suitable medicine. After her mother passed away, her daughter Emilia became withdrawn and soon fell ill. On the night Emilia fell ill, shelling destroyed the apartment building where Adam's family lived, and they lost most of their supplies. Adam only had time to reluctantly carry Emilia and escape to the next building to settle down. The plot of the DLC starts here. Father's Promise tells the story of Adam running around in a war-torn city in order to save his daughter. It's just that the ending of the story is...sad. ——At this time, Li You looked at Adam who fell to the ground.
This man had short hair, a beard, a denim jacket and trousers, and carried a large backpack similar to Marco's on his back. There was still a look of horror on his face, and there was also a hint of hidden sadness, but not too much. Li You had a guess in his mind, but still asked: "Are you...Adam?" Adam was stunned: "You know me?" Li You used his special skills and began to make up: "Ah, I heard someone mention you before. You live with your wife and daughter, right? I heard that you seem to be looking for medicine for them, right?" Of course, Li You didn't make random guesses, he had analyzed the situation. First of all, in the plot after the start of the DLC, Adam, as a father, has to take care of his sick daughter, so he has not left home for the past few days and will not go out at all. But one night a few days later, Adam fell asleep uncontrollably due to excessive fatigue. When he woke up, he found that Emilia was mysteriously missing. Until then, he would run around trying to find his daughter. But as far as Li You could see, although there was some anxiety and sadness on Adam's face, it was not obvious, and he didn't mention his daughter at all just now. So he concluded that the current time should be before Adam's wife died of illness, and Adam came out to find medicine for his wife, which makes sense. That must be the case! However, Adam was stunned after hearing this: "...Isn't this the case?" Li You: "?" The two looked at each other, but no one spoke for a moment. Li You's hands behind his back clenched into fists, and he began to think about which part to hit to effectively cause short-term memory loss. Adam seemed to feel a chill coming over him, and he shivered all over, and then said quickly: "...Ah, ah! By the way, you are right, I am indeed here to find medicine!" Li You: "...huh?" Adam quickly explained: "That's right, I do live with my wife and daughter, but they are both healthy and fine."
"It's just that a few days ago, when I was searching for supplies near my home, I picked up a poor girl. Her parents seemed to have disappeared, and now she is the only one wandering around. I couldn't bear it, so I took her home. . "But her condition is very bad. She has a lot of scratches on her body and is still sick. Our medicine reserve at home has also been exhausted, so I came out to find some medicine for her." Li You was stunned after hearing this. Adam's wife and daughter were still fine, but he picked up a war orphan? This plot... seems to have gone a little awry? He couldn't help but think of Adam's story, which would also appear in another plot DLC, Smoldering Embers. In the story of that DLC, Adam's wife and daughter were not mentioned. Instead, as a supporting character, he adopted several war orphans in his apartment building, opened an orphanage, and has been dedicated to helping those poor children. them. There is no overlap in the plots of the two DLCs. Of course, some people think that it barely makes sense that Adam opened the orphanage after his own DLC plot ended. So this is... the plots of the two DLCs overlap? Li You couldn't help but think so. He was still a little distracted, but Adam had already asked: "Um...if you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first? I have to rush home..." Somehow, Adam subconsciously used honorifics. Li You then looked at him, pondered for a moment, and said, "Wait for me for a while." He came to the grass on one side, turned his back to Adam, and quietly took out a gourd from the system backpack. [Withered and yellow crooked-mouthed gourd: The light yellow crooked-mouthed gourd contains medicinal liquid that can cure common abnormal conditions. It can also temporarily increase resistance after use. 】 This gourd is a fusion of three gourds from Sekiro World, and is effective against most abnormal conditions. At least Li You tried it, and ordinary poisoning could be relieved easily. But for diseases...he really didn't know if it would be useful. Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. There will definitely be no harm in drinking it anyway. Li You took off the gourd of medicine for injuries from his waist, returned to Adam, and said, "Aren't you looking for medicine? These two gourds contain medicines prepared by myself. One is for trauma, and the other is for minor illnesses." Help. I'll give you some, take it back to the girl." Adam was obviously stunned. He looked at the two gourds in Li You's hand, one dark and one light, and hesitated to speak. Li You could guess what he was thinking without thinking, so he said, "I know it's hard for you to believe me when we first meet. But it's okay, take these back, just in case." Because the story of his father's promise was really sympathetic, Li You also wanted to help Adam, but he couldn't just say, "I know your wife will die of illness soon, take these medicines back, and treat her if she is sick." Isn't that asking for a fight? In that case, even if Adam is so good-tempered that he doesn't punch him, he will definitely think he is a psychopath. "The weather in Berglen has been getting worse recently, and you and your family must also take care of your health." Li You can't reveal that he has extraordinary powers, so he must be more cautious about spoilers, otherwise if he violates the rules of the system, he will be sent away. So he finally said to Adam: "We just moved to this villa. Father Orek introduced us. The priest is a good man, so I also want to help him as much as possible. I am barely a pharmacist, and these are the potions I prepared myself." "I don't ask you to trust me, but even if it's for that poor child, take it." When he said this, he mentioned Father Orek again. Adam was finally moved, nodded, and said: "... Sorry, it's not that I don't want to believe you. This city has been very different since it was engulfed by war." "Since you are Father Orek's friend, then I am willing to believe you. Please share the medicine with me." He rummaged through his backpack, took out two old empty plastic bottles, and handed them to Li You. Li You poured half of the potion in the two gourds into the plastic bottles.
"... Thank you. If these are really useful, I will definitely come to thank you in the future." Adam said goodbye to Li You and left on his own. However, Li You had excellent eyesight and saw him turn a corner in the dark and turn to the church. He didn't think it was offensive, Adam's behavior was reasonable. And he helped Adam out of goodwill. In the game, Adam's combat power is equal to Roman's, firmly ranked first, and has a strong characteristic that never collapses. The promise to his daughter supports him and enables him to withstand all storms. Adam has already touched many people with just this small character trait. So Li You wanted to help him. After sending Adam away, Li You turned back to the villa. Facing Roman and Marco's doubts, Li You just smiled and explained that it was a friend who needed help. Roman and Marco thought of Adam's desperate escape when he saw Li You, and nodded vigorously. You said it was a friend, so it was a friend. Li You:? What strange things are these two thinking about? He waved his hand and said, "Okay, there's nothing else to do. We still take turns to keep watch at night. Be careful of bandits." "I'm going to rest too. Call me if you have anything." Roman and Marco nodded again. Li You then went to the basement. Roman and Marco looked at each other, and then Marco tentatively extended his hand and said, "... Let me introduce myself. My name is Marco. I used to be a firefighter and I'm good at scavenging." Roman held his hand: "Roman, I'm a deserter, barely a bit of fighting power." As he said that, he subconsciously looked at the direction where Li You left, and added: "... But he is definitely not as strong as Mr. Li, far behind." Marco agreed: "Indeed... Mr. Li is simply not a human. Do you know that he and Miss Edge are actually assassins of an international organization." Roman was also shocked when he heard it: "Is there such a thing? ” Marco lowered his voice: "This is what Mr. Li told me when I first met him. It is said that they came to Berglun to perform a confidential mission, but because of the outbreak of war, they were left here." Roman was a little dazed: "... No wonder, no wonder they are so strong, they turned out to be top killers..." But Marco said: "But in my opinion, Mr. Li is at least a good person when he is not working. By the way, I also found that he may suffer from a certain PTSD..." Roman was very interested: "Tell me more, tell me more!" On the third floor sentry post, Aggie was on guard while listening to the whispers of the two people downstairs, laughing and crying.
Although Roman and Marco deliberately lowered their voices, she could still hear it clearly. And she knew that Li You must have heard it. But it seems that this is the effect Li You wants. Having said that, the identity set by Li You this time is indeed quite interesting, and she has become a female killer. But she doesn't hate it either. Since following Li You to travel through different worlds, she has really experienced all kinds of things. Aggie recalled the past few months with some emotion. In the bedroom behind her, Livia was sleeping soundly. Marco and Roman were still chatting downstairs, while Li You was at the workbench in the basement, holding a piece of paper and drafting a plan. The second half of the night passed by in a dull manner. Except for the occasional gunshots in the distance that broke through the darkness, there was nothing else unusual. … The fourth day in this world. Li You only slept for three hours last night. Now he is in great physical condition, so staying up late is not a problem. Compared with these, the most important thing is to list the things to do. After meeting Adam last night, Li You began to think, in addition to brushing the survival days of the main task, what else can he do in this world? This War of Mine is a game that is so enjoyable once you get into it. You can truly feel the struggles of civilians to survive in the war. Well, it would be fine if it became a pure survival game. But at least, Li You never killed any good people while playing this game. Even if he was familiar with the game mechanics, he would still attack the military camp and donate generously to civilians. Generally speaking, players call this kind of gameplay the thief flow. "Wait... thief, thief?" Li You suddenly had an idea: "The system says that extraordinary abilities cannot be exposed. Does it mean that it is bound to my identity? If I wear a mask and go out, will it be considered as exposing extraordinary abilities?" He was a little eager to try, but he still held back. This kind of operation dare not mess around. If the system does not recognize this opportunistic method, he will be sent to have a cordial exchange with Cream Nero. Wait until one day when there is no choice, then try this dangerous method. "Let's sort out what to do next." This War of Mine, in addition to the most classic four-player survival mode, the subsequent updated story mode is also very good, and the three story DLCs are impressive. Two of them have been mentioned, namely Father's Promise and Embers Smoldering, and the other is "The Last Broadcast", which tells the story of broadcaster Malik, who risked being purged by the military to broadcast information in the city to the survivors of Berglun. The final endings of the stories of these three DLCs are full of regrets, and Li You also wants to change those endings as much as possible. But the problem is that the time of the DLC is not easy to determine. He only knows that the time of Embers Smoldering is the latest, because the story begins after winter. As for Father's Promise and the Last Broadcast, it is really impossible to determine. Fortunately, we have contacted Adam now and know that his story has not yet begun, so now only the time of the Last Broadcast DLC has not been determined. If it is the worst case, it is possible that Malik's family is now gone. Because after the DLC update, players may randomly go to the bombed radio station shelter when starting the classic mode. If that's the case, Li You can only say that he tried his best.
So at the moment, in addition to ensuring the safety of the shelter and finding enough supplies (mainly food), what Li You has to do is to confirm whether the announcer Malik is still alive. And this is not difficult to do. Li You remembered that there was a radio in the priest's church. He should be able to get the answer by asking him. He began to think. "Although you can't go out during the day when playing the game, wandering merchants always come to your door during the day, and sometimes nearby neighbors, or even other desperate characters will come over, which should show that even if you go out during the day, it's not that dangerous." "In that case, I can do it too. Let's go to the church now." Li You packed up briefly. Roman and Livia hadn't gotten up yet, so he said hello to Edge and Marco who were eating, and planned to set off. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a man with glasses carrying a big bag walking cautiously towards their shelter not far away. "Is that... Franco? Speak of the devil." Franco is a wandering merchant in the game. He wanders around the city and trades with people. Generally speaking, he comes every three days. Franco also saw Li You standing at the door, so he quickened his pace and rushed over: "Hey! It's you, the new neighbors that Orek said!" He took a breath and introduced himself: "My name is Franco, I'm a merchant. You can tell me what you need. I can provide most kinds of supplies. We will barter." Li You looked at him and fell into thought. Franco: "?" He was a little puzzled, but fortunately Edge and Marco also came to the door and greeted him: "What do you have?" Franco cleared his throat and said: "You will know when you see it." He opened his backpack and showed the contents to everyone. I have to say, the things are really complete. From nail parts to canned meat, to smaller tools and weapon parts, most of the supplies that can be found in the city are here. Aggie flipped through it briefly, and her eyes fell on the four cans in the bag. She has already understood the challenges she needs to face in this world. Needless to say, food is a key. At this point, the combined appetite of her and Li You is probably more than that of ten strong men. This is an imminent food pressure. Although they have found more than ten cans, if they eat freely, they can finish them all in one meal. At least at this stage, it is necessary to save money, so Aggie also puts food replenishment first. However, barter... What valuable things do they have here that can be exchanged? After clearing the ruins of the villa and adding the supplies from the flower shop, their inventory should have been relatively abundant. But some of them were left in the church before, and a lot of them were consumed in reinforcing the shelter, so now they are a little stretched. The most valuable supplies now are guns and ammunition. Aiji and Marco looked at each other, then looked at Li You, waiting for him to make a decision. Li You happened to come back to his senses at this time, met the eyes of the two, and smiled slightly.
He just had a new idea, and after thinking it over, he felt that it was feasible. Li You looked at Franco and asked: "Don't worry about bartering. I want to ask, are you interested in cooperating with me?" Aiji, Marco: "?" Franco: "???" "...Ah?" ... After a while, Franco and Li You sat face to face at the kitchen table of the villa and were talking. Franco had recovered and asked Li You: "I roughly understand that you want to join us. So, what bargaining chips do you have to convince me to accept you?" "Let me make it clear in advance that I know you know Orek, but I also know that you just met. Don't try to use him to convince me." Li You smiled calmly and said: "No, I don't want to do business with you, but I have something to ask you." "Franco, I want to ask you first. What is the biggest difficulty for you to do business in Berglun?" Franco thought without hesitation: "What other difficulties can there be? Of course, those heavenly people The army of killers! These bastards beat anyone they see, like mad dogs, and there is no way to communicate with them at all!" "I was almost shot to death by a crazy sniper on the way here!" Li You nodded and said, "To be honest, I am not a local, I came from outside the city, and now I am trapped here." "In this city, you need a skill to survive. And it happens that I still have some fighting power and can do a lot of things, so I want to use this to help others solve their problems in exchange for rewards. "And to do this, reputation is very important. I hope to cooperate with you, walk around the city with you, and make my name known, so that there will be business." Franco is worthy of being an experienced businessman, and he immediately understood what Li You meant: "You want to open an office? A shop?" Li You nodded: "That's probably what I mean." Franco looked at him: "Only by yourself? " Li You smiled lightly, then suddenly grabbed the fruit knife on the table and threw it out! "Shua——" In Franco's astonished eyes, the fruit knife was firmly nailed to the wall. He swallowed his saliva, looked over, and saw a fly was accurately pierced by the tip of the knife. Franco looked at Li You: "...Okay, well, it seems that you are really good at fighting, so what's the benefit if I help you?" Li You smiled and said: "Of course. First of all, when I tour the city with you, I will do my best to ensure your safety. " "And, as long as you are willing to help me, then even if our cooperation is over, you can come to me if you have any emergency, and I will never refuse. In addition to fighting, I also know some knowledge of emergency treatment. "Of course, I know that these are far from enough, so if you have other conditions, you can also mention them and we can discuss them." Franco looked at him, then looked at the fruit knife on the wall, and began to think. He kept rubbing the short beard on his chin with his hands, and the expression on his face kept changing. Li You waited quietly to see how he would respond.
Franco, the merchant, was often seen in the game, and he also had a role in the plot mode. When Adam could not go out for the past few days, he took the risk to find precious medicine for Adam and barely saved Emilia's life. In Li You's opinion, Franco was indeed a suitable partner. In any case, Li You still wanted to do something for the people in Berglun that he knew. So in this case, instead of looking for them one by one in the smoke-filled city, it would be better to do the opposite and put his name out there so that people in need would come to him. Of course, in this case, rewards are naturally necessary. As for what he needs? Needless to say, bring food. In short, as long as his idea can be realized, it can be said that it is killing two birds with one stone. There are indeed risks, but Li You believes that this risk is still within the controllable range. In front of him, Franco thought for a long time, rubbed off several hairs of beard on his chin, and then said: "Let's do this! I can promise you, but in addition to what you just said, I have an additional condition." "When our cooperation is completed, I want you to do three things for me. I don't know what they are, but you can't refuse." Li You was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "Okay, as long as it does not violate morality and is within my ability." Franco slapped the table: "Okay! Finally, you have to pay the deposit, otherwise I still can't trust you." This time Li You thought about it for a while and said: "Deal!" ... After another half an hour, Roman woke up slowly. He got up, yawned, went downstairs to the kitchen, and greeted Marco by the way. "Morning." He opened the refrigerator door and wanted to take out the half can of food left over from the early morning, but when he opened the door, he found that the refrigerator was empty. Roman: “!?” “The shelter was robbed!? Marco——!” He turned his head and noticed that Marco was lying on the table with a helpless look on his face. “Calm down, Roman, we were not robbed.” “It’s just that all the canned goods and guns were given to the wandering merchants by Li You as a deposit for introducing business.” Roman: “!!??” “Why——!?”
