January 795, New Calendar, day and night.
The same bonfire, the same five people resting here, the tents are set up, and there is a stream not far away where you can get water - there are many water sources in the Emerald Forest, and the team has been drinking such "pure water" for several days.
, this is a treatment you never get in the real world.
Only this time, the member of the team has changed.
A Niu hammered the last rivet into the soil, then stood up, clapped his hands, and exhaled a breath - in the past, when it was time to camp, he and Bad Shao were responsible for setting up camp, so he was somewhat skilled at doing this.
Duan Qing was responsible for going out to find dead branches for making fire, and the girl was responsible for making arrangements in the middle - in fact, she was sitting on the ground, dangling her golden ponytail, and watching the show leisurely. With the "heroic" character of the evil young man in Jie City, even if
If you have an idea, you won't come up with it, but the upright A Niu has complained more than once about the girl's lack of effort.
"Why, this girl is sitting there doing nothing... No, no, I'm not bullying others, I'm just... Look, you can also let her go collect firewood.
Ah, how easy it is..."
Normally if Duan Qing hears this, he will jump out and yell: "Do you think it's easy to pick up firewood? It rained two days ago, do you know? It takes a long time to pick out two that can be burned..."
.”
Mengzhu sometimes feels embarrassed and wants to find something he can do, but this is often pushed back by other grown men - anyway, it is not a very tiring job, just do it casually and you will get it done. But then
Coming back, if it's a very tiring thing, I probably can't let a girl do it.
Later, after Xue Ling Huan Bing joined, the girl didn't want to do it anymore.
When the first few people were there, the bonfire activity at night was just casual chatting, listening to Duan Qing bragging and Bad Shao bragging. Mengzhu was responsible for complaining about them, and A Niu was the best listener - not only responsible for listening, but also responsible for asking questions.
.After getting along with each other for a few days, everyone knew that he knew very little about various things inside and outside the game, so they all kindly taught and helped him. Naturally, there would be some exaggerations, such as when he first entered the forest.
Two nights ago, he recalled the battle before entering the forest, and then asked why Duan Qing's sword moves were so powerful.
Such questions already involve players’ tips for playing games. In the world of martial arts, it’s like asking the other person “How do you practice martial arts?” The other two people looked embarrassed and wanted to
Duan Qing reminded that dumbfounded Qing, but Duan Qing himself didn't seem to care.
"Although there is indeed a trick in this, but now I... probably can't use it, so it still has something to do with my equipment." Duan Qing said with a smile, patting his gloves at the same time.
: "But there are some things I can share with you..."
"The free world, including other virtual reality games, actually simulates real touch, which involves many factors, such as degree of realism, degree of conversion, touch rate, response ratio...well, those
We won’t talk about professional concepts. We talk about games. For example, if you draw a sword quickly, it means that your move is faster than others, and you can close your hands faster than others. If you use some skills and means, you can do a lot of things you usually want.
Unexpected things.”
"In game terms, it means shortening your attack, which is the so-called attack and closing." Duan Qing said: "This is the most basic way to defeat the enemy."
He made a "whoosh, whoosh" punching motion: "Then coupled with enough reactions in your mind and a plan to allocate these actions reasonably, a dazzling set of moves appears."
"The rest is a question on another level. Which of your moves are feints, which are real moves, and how to make the other party be deceived..."
Another eloquent speech, but because it sounded so powerful, no one could interrupt him for a while with their usual contemptuous attitude. However, whether A Niu could understand it or not, Mengzhu and Bad Shao were both knowledgeable people.
, so later I asked Duan Qing in private whether those words were true or false, but Duan Qing laughed as usual and responded with the "Qingshan Sword God" trick.
Of course, after experiencing so many things, by that night, not many people were in the mood to think about these things.
Duan Qing was still responsible for collecting firewood and keeping watch, but A Niu was the only one left to set up camp. The girl was strong enough, but she was only responsible for handing things over, holding up shelves, etc. It was a labor-intensive job.
A Niu was still in charge. The woman in blue robe sitting on the side still had a calm face, but the fingers playing with her head showed her high interest at this time.
When night fell, an accident visited them - a certain monster came over and planned to attack them. They had actually been preparing for such an "accident" for a long time. After all, they had been deep into the forest for too long, and their luck could not last forever.
Stand with them.
However, this accident did not turn into a disaster in the end. Mengzhu and A Niu did not even see what hit them - before the thing appeared in their sight, they heard a huge cracking sound, and something
The shrill scream of an unknown monster.
The two of them did not notice the gradually disappearing blue light in Christine's eyes sitting aside.
"A...well, a reptile, maybe a crocodile. Anyway, it has been broken into pieces of ice on the ground."
After that, Duan Qing came back and took a look at the situation. Although he didn't need him, others could guess the miserable situation of the monster over there, so after a simple explanation, he shrugged slightly to express his helplessness, and then turned to the cloak on the other side.
The figure gestured with its head.
After the grudge was resolved, Duan Qing finally decided to stay. Originally, he planned to stay alone, but the girl did not agree. After she found out the whole story, she showed great affection towards Xue Ling Huan Bing.
There was great hostility, especially after she knew that the other party was from the Wings of Freedom, this vague initial impression became even deeper.
She insisted on staying and watching to see what the other party was up to. As for the other reasons, Duan Qing, who looked helpless, could not understand. As for Liu Qingniu, he was a moral person, so naturally
There was no reason to go back alone, so he stayed with him. As for Duan Qing himself, he didn't know what broke his original firm determination.
In short, when they came back to join together, what they saw was the woman in blue robe's teasing smile, as if she had seen what happened just now.
As for Xue Ling Huan Bing, she did not make any statement or do anything out of the ordinary. Everyone only knew that before she left, she had a brief exchange with Christine. Because of the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, this exchange became
It was very intriguing, but both parties involved had nothing, and from their standpoints, there was nothing they could do to ask.
However, after such an incident, something was finally broken. At this time of night, the flames of the bonfire were clearly extinguished, illuminating the faces of the four people sitting around, except for the great magician who was still sitting quietly in the back.
The rest of the people, including Xue Ling Huan Bing, sat together. Everyone had sent Duan Qing as a representative to invite the beautiful woman in blue robes, but she was still rejected.
"I will not participate in my friend's bonfire party, oh hehehe..."
She blinked her big eyes, those bright blue pupils, which were clearly visible even at night.
It's still the same small talk. Although everyone was originally a passerby, but after a teammate died, especially when something like that happened before, those relaxed emotions still quietly disappeared. The topic needs to be rediscovered, and the relationship needs to be repaired again. Then
The woman in the black cloak looked at Duan Qing, but hesitated several times. The girl who was observing secretly shook her head again, thinking about the fishiness in it. Duan Qing himself was actually confused about the previous relationship between the blue robe and the black cloak.
I was somewhat interested in the conversation, but the woman definitely wasn't.
But the story is still told.
"...not long after we entered, we encountered a wild boar. The wild boar was indeed very powerful, but our attacks were not as ineffective as you think, and could still cause some damage. We spent a little time
After some effort, I finally got rid of it.”
The story Xueling Huanbing told at this time was about what happened after he led an elite team into the forest.
"...Of course we don't want corpses or anything like that. We're not in the mood to care about that."
The woman's voice had no ups and downs, as if the story she was telling had nothing to do with her: "Later, I met some wild boars, black bears, and other monsters one after another. They were basically animals that are generally believed to exist in the forest. Their strength
None of them are very strong, so everyone's mentality is very optimistic. Liang... everyone in the team thinks that this mission should be easier."
The woman's voice gradually became deeper: "Later...then we met the monster, and they rushed up like this, and then..."
What happens next? Of course everyone knows now - a team is full of five people. When Duan Qing saw their battle, it seemed that he only saw three. That giant dragon-like monster was so powerful.
Just imagine.
A Niu has always liked to listen to adventure stories. Thinking of the giant snake that he saw raging everywhere and being invincible, he marveled at the fantasy and thrills of this game. Duan Qing noticed many strange things from it.
If I don't know anything about it, I guess the process will not be as understated as hers.
The girl who had been wrinkling her nose muttered angrily: "Not all of them died..."
Xue Ling Huan Bing frowned.
In the past few days, she had also vaguely felt the girl's hostility towards her. After today's incident, this feeling suddenly became obvious. Xue Ling Huan Bing didn't know what went wrong. What she did today
What he did did not leave a good impression on others, but he probably didn't offend Mengzhu too much - he just wanted to keep them to help him, and at most he used them, even if he saw the problems.
, Duan Qing, who was the most opposed to her in the past, is now on her side. She really hasn't figured out what else irritated this girl who is usually very happy-go-lucky.
Thinking that the days to come may become more and more difficult, it would be better to open it if possible. The unity of a team is still very important. Even in a game, in such an environment, if you encounter any unexpected situation and have a grudge in your heart,
It definitely wouldn't work out. Xue Ling Huan Bing was silent for a while, seemingly considering something carefully, and then made a decision.
"I know...that some of my thoughts during the previous period were...not very friendly to the people here."
Her expression was cold, but her voice was almost soft. Given her personality, she rarely said such words.
"But in this current situation, what I can do alone is limited after all, so my purpose and original intention remain the same..."
"Although something bad has happened, please give me a chance to... make a formal request."
"I hope you can help me."
Although there was still some confusion and the tone of voice was extremely stiff and unnatural, it had a hint of true feelings. The remaining three people looked at each other and were speechless for a while.
In fact, for Mengzhu and Aniu, there were very few "some things" that happened in between. They almost didn't feel any problems. Only Duan Qing silently admired in his heart that after being taught a lesson by him, this woman,
A lot has indeed changed - at least she followed her own advice.
"Well, I still don't know what's going on, but since we are all on the same team, we should help each other..." Aniu sat there cross-legged and scratched his head, like a simple and honest man.
Skinny bear.
"I don't want..." Mengzhu, who took off his hood, muttered very loudly. Duan Qing looked over and saw that a bottle of oil could hang from the girl's pouted mouth. Seeing Xueling Huanbing, she was confused.
Her eyes were looking at her, and even Duan Qing's eyes on the side looked a little strange, and she suddenly felt a little confused: "I...I don't believe her anyway..."
In fact, when she said those words, Mengzhu had already regretted it. As a rare kind-hearted and pure girl in the new era, she was actually not good at using evil words to treat others. But the girl still harbored a grudge in her heart.
, and as a woman, something called intuition is telling her that after the evening, the attitude of the woman in black cloak towards Duan Qing seemed to have changed a lot, and then temporarily
The decision to change, as well as their future action goals, are based on those changes.
She was wary of these changes in her heart, and was very troubled by her attitude towards these changes, which made Mengzhu feel confused. Naturally, Xue Ling Huanbing would not notice these thoughts in Mengzhu's heart, or maybe she did,
But he didn't take it to heart - Xue Ling Huan Bing's current focus was still on the predicament in front of him.
"Well...if there is anything I haven't done well, I hope you can come out..." the woman in the black cloak said seriously, "I will definitely correct it..."
"Yes, if you have any difficulties, you will definitely feel better, and everyone will help you solve it." Duan Qing also said on the side. He wanted to comfort the girl, but in Mengzhu's eyes, it became accomplices.
Feeling aggrieved in her heart and feeling something about to overflow from her eyes, Mengzhu hurriedly lowered his head, but his voice was choked with sobs: "I...you...you...
, you Wings of Freedom are not good people anyway..."
The girl's words were getting louder and louder, but they could still be heard because they were so close to each other. Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing looked at each other, and they both saw expressions of surprise that they didn't know the truth about. After a moment, they thought of something.
Duan Qing still went down: "There is no one else here now. This...well, in short, she should be regarded as a senior executive of Wings of Freedom. If you have any problems, you can try to report them and see if they can be solved.
....."
The girl lowered her head and sobbed for a while, and finally told her story intermittently.
In fact, the story of Mengzhu is quite outrageous in the eyes of people like Duan Qing, because such stories happen almost every day in the game. They are nothing more than the elders of a team ostracizing newcomers, and the collective ostracizing individuals.
Mengzhu is a very sunny girl, otherwise she would not have been able to rely on herself and start a business as Duan Qing saw after suffering setbacks. This kind of sunshine is not developed in a day or two. When the girl first entered the game,
This characteristic has been manifested in various aspects.
Therefore, after working tirelessly and fighting together, in the wild team cooperation in which the teams finally worked together to kill the monsters, she was eventually noticed by the people of Wings of Freedom who were showing fresh blood here, and then she was absorbed into the six teams here.
The leader of the team, Wuji Huan Shen, is a character, talented and ambitious. This time he was assigned to work in Greenstone Village. He had some complaints earlier, but after Free Flying talked with him once, those resentments turned into nothing.
gained motivation.
The sixth team was established not long ago. Although there are old people like Nan Muyun working with him, he is basically in charge of the team. As long as the task of recruiting new people is handled properly, they will become his team in the future.
When the time comes, it will be possible to make some achievements and compete with other big guys within Wings of Freedom. So during the period of time he came here, he was also working hard to cultivate valuable newcomers, like Meng Meng
Girls like Zhu are naturally among them. However, players like Meng Zhu have limited talent after all. For his own future, more capable people are his better choice.
So when the Longhu brothers came into his sight and had friction with Mengzhu, he already had concerns in his mind.
The Longhu brothers are not only excellent in gaming skills, but also veterans of the game for many years. They have some ideas on how to get along in a guild sub-group. The dispute between Mengzhu and the Longhu brothers is not a problem at all.
Big, but when they showed a little greed for the team's trophies and were criticized by the girl who couldn't stand it, the two of them had already made up their mind to get rid of this ignorant girl.
After that, it was nothing more than forming cliques and fighting against those who disagreed with each other. When the conflicts gradually became more acute and the headquarters handed over the matter of the ruins, and Wuji Fantasy God had to prepare for it, he had to make a choice on this matter.
What happened in the tavern that night was probably the result of a choice.
"Actually... they have already... treated me like that before... always not letting me participate in battles, but asking me to drag corpses and move things.
Do a lot of tiring work, unimportant work..."
As a witness to two of them, after listening to the girl's intermittent description, Duan Qing could probably guess the mystery. But... so what if he guessed it, such bad things almost happened every time.
It is happening everywhere and everywhere, and all he can do is comfort this poor girl again and again. Mengzhu has a simple mind, and it is inevitable to feel sad when encountering such a thing. God knows what happened to the dragon and tiger brothers.
I don’t know how many times I’ve done this, and God knows how many other places this kind of thing is happening...
A freer gaming society is ultimately more sinister.
However, this matter may still be able to be solved. The key lies in Xue Ling Huan Bing on the side - Duan Qing looks at her sullen expression, so he probably won't miss this opportunity to repair the relationship.
Xue Ling Huan Bing is also a person with a certain amount of experience. If it were just for such unfair things, she might not think too much about it, but when she thinks about those messy and trivial things, in the end, she just wants to be more confident when she leads the team to take action.
It was "smooth", and then it became like this. The feeling in my heart was really mixed and indescribable.
In the end, it all turned into anger.
"Don't worry, after I go back... I will let them give an explanation, trust me."
In the end, she gritted her teeth and swallowed her emotions and settled the matter at hand first. Although it was a short sentence, her frank expression and the leadership temperament that naturally exuded from someone who has always been in a position of authority made her a little sad.
The girl wiped her eyes unconsciously.
"Really......?"
"Yeah!" The other party nodded solemnly again.
"Well...thank you...thank you..."
Duan Qing on the side lowered his head and laughed, thinking that simple girls are easy to coax.
But there is finally a way... This is good.
Xue Ling Huan Bing was also secretly relieved, thinking that it was not a blood feud after all. As long as she was more sincere, she could still solve it... No, such a thing, especially for a girl, could definitely be solved if she went back and waved her hand.
.I have come this far in the face of such a dangerous problem, why can't I do something like this...
Thinking of the twists and turns of the day, Xue Ling Huan Bing sighed for a moment at the impermanence of life. She unconsciously looked at that hateful man, and the resentment in her heart rose again - he was looking down and snickering.
"Why are you laughing?" She stared, then realized that her positive image had been damaged again, and then she changed into a serious tone: "Okay, I've told the story of Sister Mengzhu, it's your turn
Let’s talk.”
"Huh? Me?" Duan Qing pointed at himself.
"That's you. Tell me about your experience." Xue Ling Huan Bing pointed at him, and A Niu on the side also put on a curious expression and listened attentively.
"Ha..." Duan Qing smiled again: "My story is so long..."
