"Hey, are you interested in joining?"
It has become Duan Qing's habit to look through his own message messages every time he goes offline, because since he entered the free world, such messages have never shown signs of stopping. Although at the beginning
, inquiry messages from people on his former friend list accounted for more than 90% of all messages, but as time went by, most of these people gradually gave up their efforts - Duan Qing
They also knew in their hearts that they had been sending messages to a player whose avatar was grayed out, and the fact that there had been no response for a long time made it difficult for people to believe that this guy still really existed.
But until now, Duan Qing has really not looked at it carefully, because he knows what these things are without looking at them.
"As you can see, I put on a show, which has been quite popular these past two days. Many old friends have also come to participate... I mean, since you are also playing this game, you must also be interested in those players.
What can we do?"
Today's message seems to be so different from the same old messages, because the things mentioned in the message seem to have nothing to do with inquiring, spying, crying, etc. Duan Qing stopped reading continuously and
His eyes gradually fell on the words and he read them carefully.
"Although I'm not serious in that, I believe everyone who knows me knows that I have such a personality, and the effect of this kind of program is also very good, and... we don't understand for the sake of understanding, right?
"
"We just want to see each other again."
Duan Qing was silent for a while, then rubbed his belly and walked out of the cabin. After a while, he came back here with a piece of bread, and then continued to read while nibbling the temporary food.
"How about it? Can I please move your Buddha? Don't worry, it's all solved in the game, so if you have special requirements, we can meet them, including things like if you don't want to expose your identity, etc.
There are questions to ask and so on.”
"But to be honest, there are a lot of questions I want to ask you."
snort……
An indistinct mixed sound came out of his nose. Duan Qing looked out the window at the pitch-black night, chewing hard on the highly compressed food in his mouth: "Profiteer... If I really go, the previous sentence will probably mean
Void."
"I don't know if I'm talking to a dead person right now, but after thinking for a long time, I decided to write these words out. So many great gods have promised me before, and I might be able to gain something this time, right?
"
"looking forward to your reply."
"——Blooming flowers."
The message seemed to have ended here, but Duan Qing understood this guy's quirks, so he continued to scroll down, and sure enough, at the end of this long message, he found another line of text.
"By the way, you probably didn't participate in the competition, right? If possible...remember to bring your favorite champion over."
"whispering sound……"
With the remaining bread in his mouth, Duan Qing simply held it in the air, and then used his free hands to write two words on the panel.
"Get lost."
His hand hesitated for a moment, then pressed the send button, then closed the page and opened another message worth reading. There, a player named Xue Ling Huan Bing briefly mentioned his
The guild has already overcome the pressure of public opinion, and then recounted the events of its games in the past few days.
"Due to the emotions I had made before, most of the people in the meeting were alienated from me. Although I am also their boss, their attitude towards me has become somewhat strange due to various reasons. On the surface,
It doesn’t come out, but I can still feel it...but I believe that everything will get better again.”
"The game is still going well, but I feel it is getting more and more difficult. Even the remaining people are unknown people with no background, but they are very strong. The league has added new rules to the game, so I am very worried.
Whether the ability can cope with the coming battle..."
"I have accepted the president's proposal and established my own military order. I hope that this kind of pressure can give me some confidence and allow me to go further in the next competition. Otherwise...even if I don't care about personal
I should also be responsible for my teammates in the team competition. After all, I was the one who brought them together despite their objections. They are all very good players. They..."
"They deserve that dazzling trophy."
The game cabin fell into silence again, and then there was a long exhalation. Amidst the heavy chewing sound again, Duan Qing ran out of his position again, searched around in the darkness for a while, and finally held a water glass again.
I sat back, sipping water and writing underneath the message.
"I watched your game today."
"Honestly, the new venue is very good. Although it seems to be mixed with conditions and restrictions, as long as you deal with it properly, the restrictions on both parties are actually equal, so this is not a big problem. If you don't understand, remember to log off.
Later I went to watch the game against the wind and leisurely."
"As for your tactics..."
"Your style is still too upright. Although it is quite satisfactory, it is easy for people to figure out the routine."
Duan Qing thought for a while, and then wrote again: "The strength of a power player lies in deterrence, in the fear that a fatal blow brings to the enemy. This is often ignored in actual combat, because when being attacked
Before defeat, players always have difficulty predicting the damage they may suffer and the corresponding serious consequences. Even if they predict it, they probably won't care. After all, this is a game world, not a battlefield with real swords and guns.
If you're lucky, you might be able to get past the giant sword you're wielding and turn defeat into victory, just like the thief you faced just now..."
"Therefore, you should reduce some unnecessary movements and at the same time improve the efficiency of your attacks. Even if you cannot succeed, you must make your opponent break out in a cold sweat to be qualified. Of course, the specific situation will also depend on your opponent's occupation and personality.
There will be changes, but at least you should have your own routine to master the rhythm of the game. This may be a bit difficult, if it is really difficult to do..."
"Just think about what I said last time, study more basic moves, and then split into combinations... I believe there are always some techniques that are suitable for you."
Duan Qing wrote a few more sentences, thought about it, but deleted them again: "Forget it, it's already pretty good to be able to do this..."
He chose to send it, then looked at the time, and then drank the water in his hand as if to cheer himself up, then threw it on the ground next to him, and turned around to enter the game.
************************************
"Have they left?"
"Uh... I don't know these two people, so you should make your own guess..."
"Oh, I've won so many games, so it doesn't matter if I lose one or two money...Okay, okay, I can't help you, I can't help you, you...well, just ask Ninglan and Liushang to give you more advice."
"I have to do a mission. Where can I have so much time... Really, Mr. Captain, otherwise how can I afford the money?"
"Okay, okay...I promise."
beep.
"well……"
Putting down his hand, Duan Qing sighed helplessly - because he was afraid of something unexpected happening, the moment he went online, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and walked from the back row of the auditorium.
He slipped out and ran to the entrance square where he had entered the world before. Then he used the secret language allowed in this world to chat, and reported to Mengzhu - or inquired - about the situation. However, after being criticized and educated
After a warning from the outside, this guy who had withered in the wind in the eyes of passing players seemed to have lost the confidence to return to the game world.
"When will these days be over?"
After lamenting his miserable life, Duan Qing shook his head and walked to the corner of the square, then exited the place and entered the free world, the room of the Adventurers Association that he had offline before. Time and Duan
As Qing expected, it had just entered the early morning of the next day. He sorted out his equipment, and before going out, he checked some of the commissions registered on the blackboard in the association hall as usual.
"...There are ten wild fox beasts, and they are still alive. Tsk tsk, there will be some problems. If they are caught alive, I am afraid they won't be able to get them back in a day...Tanya's assistance patrol mission, the reward is one per day.
One hundred and fifty gold coins... I don't care if I have that much time. I have a grudge against Tusker. God knows whether that guy will pay me... looking for the Kageweed? I'm really interested in this thing.
I’ve seen it on the forum, but the problem is that the rewards you give are too bad! Who would use this money!”
Muttering all kinds of complaints, Duan Qing finally left this place while shaking his head and sighing at the world. After walking around a few streets and asking several passers-by, he finally found himself in Tania City.
To the east, near the foot of the low mountain, we found the place called Ukres District.
"Why such a strange name?"
"I heard that Ukles was a very famous general before the principality, so that's why the place was named after him."
This was a sentence Duan Qing asked in passing when he asked for directions before. However, standing at the entrance of this area, he could feel some military atmosphere from the simple and neat layout of this place. It was well-proportioned.
Above the rows of pointed houses, the early morning sunlight is passing through the shield of the low hills to the east and shining through the gaps between the houses. Some yellow birds passing by here are between the pointed houses and the surrounding trees.
Turning around, some danced with the morning light in the air, and some stopped on the top of the peak. While making a pleasant cry, they stared at the pair of dripping eyes, including Duan Qing.
Passers-by inside.
"Is it because it's close to the mountain?" Duan Qing shook his head and asked, "Why aren't there so many birds in the city..."
After inquiring about Anweina's residence, Duan Qing finally found her in a residential house in the district. This woman had a floral cloth on her head and wore simple clothes, no different from ordinary aborigines.
The citizens of Tania City warmly welcomed Duan Qing's arrival in the same way as they usually treat adventurers. Until Duan Qing understood the purpose of his visit and took out the pendant in his hand, this beautiful man kept smiling.
The young woman finally showed something different.
"So...he is dead." Anweina, who was holding the tea tray with her backhand, gradually lowered her forehead: "The news from the fortress two days ago is also..."
"My condolences, madam." Touching the wooden cup into which hot water had just been poured, Duan Qing said with some embarrassment: "This should not have been his fate..."
"No."
The woman slowly sat on the same stool on the other side of the table: "Ever since my mother passed away, I knew that this day would come sooner or later."
"This is a choice he has made long ago."
Recalling the scenes at that time, Duan Qing's face darkened again: "Your father... is a great warrior."
"He has always been." Anweina shook her head: "But... I never expected that he would become like this. I think..."
"If my mother were alive, she wouldn't want it to be like this."
The silence in the room lasted for a while, and then Duan Qing's voice slowly sounded: "Your mother... must be a very good person, right?"
"my mother……"
Anweina shook her head: "She is also a very ordinary person."
"We originally lived in Weimar Town, a peaceful and peaceful place. Later, the empire invaded the border and we were forced to flee our home." The right hand holding the pendant was placed on the table, but her eyes were focused on an unknown place.
: "Later, for the safety of others, my mother and some other villagers sacrificed themselves to block the pursuing soldiers..."
"What about Silanke?" Duan Qing asked, "Is your father not here?"
"My father was already the commander of a certain force in the principality at the time, and was directing the battle on the nearby battlefield." Anweina said softly: "Listen... He really couldn't send anyone to support him, so he entrusted some adventurers to go forward.
Come to help, but..."
"They didn't come?"
"No, they... seem to be dead too." Anweina's voice became softer: "That should have been a year ago, so I don't remember clearly..."
"No wonder..." Duan Qing murmured: "That guy hates us adventurers so much."
"Please don't blame him, sir." The woman bowed slightly: "But he still stayed in the principality's team and continued to protect other people, because..."
"He can still tell clearly who is the culprit."
"Heh..." Duan Qing shook his head and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly: "On this aspect, your father is stronger than anyone else."
"A soldier must not only have a strong will, but also have the courage to choose a direction." Anweina smiled: "This is what he often taught us before, and it is also my husband's motto now."
"your husband?"
"Jason, Jason Noyle." Anweina said: "A soldier from the Principality, currently serving in the city guard."
"So that's it." Duan Qing nodded: "If I have the chance... I will see his majesty."
"Sir, you don't have to be like this." Holding the pendant in her hand tightly, Anweina bit her lip and thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "But...if it's possible, I still hope you can help with one thing.
.”
"What?"
"My father is a qualified soldier..." In the morning light, the woman raised her head slightly: "Can you make this clear to the principality?"
"Can you...can you clear my father's name?" (To be continued.)
