"What's wrong, my grand leader? Why have you suddenly become so melancholy?"
There was a picture flashing in the dark room, and along with it was a three-dimensional fluorescence that was approaching green: "If you have any questions, I haven't slept for a long time..."
"In the end, you ran away on your own, didn't you?"
"No...well, I got lost at the station and I couldn't find you after searching for a long time, so..."
"Where are the messages? Where are the messages? Didn't you see any of them?"
"Of course...of course I just saw it, hahahaha..."
The girl who was lying on the hotel bed at this time tossed and turned for a while, then faced the unscrupulous smile reflected in the three-dimensional image of the communication ball, and sighed softly again - with the help of virtual reality technology
With the rapid development, stereoscopic projection video technology for communication has become more and more common, and stereoscopic video calls between friends have become something that can be realized at any time. As an application platform for virtual reality technology, the Alliance
Friends' channels have naturally incorporated such technology into it. The only difficulty that needs to be solved, apart from the balance between games and real-life calls that need to be overcome, is probably that only players who are not familiar with each other are left, facing their own realities.
Looks like courage.
Fortunately, Duan Qing had already met Mengzhu, so he no longer had to worry about this.
"Don't you usually read messages? What's the use of your friend list?"
"Uh... when it comes to leaving messages, of course there is a certain delay, right? Besides, I finally ran back... Oh no, I finally found a place where I can get online..."
"What? You've already settled in?" The girl in the darkness screamed and sat up: "It's a shame we've been waiting here for you for so long!"
"I can't get through it anyway, so let's do this for the time being." Duan Qing in the video was operating other places, laughing and saying, "With the chatter flowing around, your life there will definitely not be bad.
…”
"..."
I don't know if something of concern was mentioned. The girl who had already knelt down and sat up became silent again. The image from the other end moved back and forth for a long time before she noticed the slightest abnormality on the other side: "So what?"
Already?"
"I heard Sister Liushang talk about something today."
Duan Qing was shocked, but the movement of his hands did not stop: "Oh? What did she tell you?"
"About the history of league competitions and the history of contestants." The girl held the communication ball and read, "There are also...something about bonuses."
"Bonus?" In the video, Duan Qing, who was busy checking the news, stopped his movements: "Why are you asking this?"
"Uncle..."
The girl whispered: "Do you know why I want to organize an offline party during the finals?"
"Why?" Duan Qing started busy again without turning his head.
"Because... I asked some people, they run underground casinos."
The girl in the darkness said in an authentic voice: "The odds offered in the underground gambling market are very high, and there are many names, one to several thousand. If you can win... you may be able to make money."
It’s a lot of money.”
"... Damn it, I originally thought that what you like is the sense of accomplishment of making money in the game, but now it seems..." The man in the video stopped his movements and said "I don't know you"
He looked at the girl in front of him: "You really fell into the money bag! You even dare to enter such a bet..."
"Of course I don't dare." The girl buried her head in the pink communication ball: "I have been thinking of many ways to cheer myself up...I know that you are very powerful, uncle, and so is Sister Liuzhang.
Sister Liushang said today, you are very familiar with that Chen Tianfan, so...if I ask you to watch the game with me and give me some suggestions, maybe I can actually win some bets and make a lot of money...
"
"Sister." Duan Qing looked at Mengzhu's face angrily: "Master, the leader, can that kind of thing be decided based on competition experience? That's a clear attempt to steal your money, okay? You
If you look carefully at those names, they are all low-probability events that are impossible to occur. The probability of success is almost zero. Why do you want to give people money?"
"But, but..."
"We... former professional players can help you analyze the trend of the game, but at most it is a rough judgment. It is impossible to predict 100% of the time. Some low-probability events
Accidents, the state of the players, and even coincidences and accidents in some competition venues may ultimately determine the outcome of the game. Ask the commentators who doesn't hate these things the most! What else do you think?
If you want to bet on these things...do you really think that I am a god?"
"But, but..."
"But what? You haven't already invested the money, have you?" Duan Qing in the video sneered: "Sister, can't we make money? Although you usually always shout about public funds, but if you put it
If you sell those gold coins in the game to others, you can at least make a lot of money, right..."
"But the money is not enough at all!"
The girl who lowered her head suddenly shouted, and then lowered her head silently: "I, I went and did the math. The more than 7,500 gold coins can only be sold for more than 10,000 yuan at most...
And it’s everyone’s money…”
"You..." Duan Qing in the video also fell silent: "Do you need money very much?"
"I, I have a younger brother...you should know."
The girl still lowered her head, as if she was enduring her emotions: "He, he has a disease that the doctor can't name. According to this disease... it should have been extinct in the last century.
But I don’t know why...why it still appears on him..."
"So you need money?" Duan Qing sighed: "Treat him?"
"We have no family, and he can only live in the orphanage now. With my own income...it is impossible to afford the cost of using the Isc-type treatment cabin." Mengzhu replied in a low voice: "I can't even afford it.
I can’t even afford the money to send him to the hospital..."
"...Hey." Duan Qing in the video gave a wry smile: "This kind of bloody routine can only be seen in TV dramas... I'm sorry you can bear it, but usually you can't.
Didn't notice a single thing."
"I, I am the leader!"
"I understand, stop, stop, stop." Duan Qing hurriedly raised his hands: "So you have to be strong, right? Really... and it's just a cure. I thought it was so big... uh."
As if he had thought of something, Duan Qing stopped what he was saying and showed an embarrassed expression: "Well, it seems that I am a pauper who is poorer than you... In short, how much money do you need now?
"
"Probably... it will cost tens of thousands of yuan first. That's just the initial move-in fee..."
"call……"
Stopping his twitching eyelids, Duan Qing took a long breath and suppressed his thoughts of borrowing money and his previous thoughts of finding someone: "How many...you have already
Has the money been invested in underground banks?”
"No, no." Mengzhu waved her hands hurriedly: "I, I haven't made up my mind yet..."
"Let me take a look first."
After retrieving the news that he had ignored before, Duan Qing looked through the battle report from Code Whisper Ninglan and muttered to himself: "Let's see if we can make a profit first... Are there any people who have entered the top 16?"
These? Brothers Duan, Sunset Lone Smoke, Sky Barrier, half a box of cigarettes... Well, three people from Wings of Freedom entered, no, there was also Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice... Oh my god, all the people from Sword of Justice
No more? This is the rhythm of pills..."
"What, what's wrong, uncle?"
"It's nothing, just a sigh... Well, there are so many people who are second in the world, and Huan Meng... Yu Chen? This guy can actually win? Let's see... He defeated a person from Devil's Paradise, hehe
...It seems that this team has also been wiped out, which is really satisfying..."
"Uncle..."
"If civilian players can log in again, the miracle of seven years ago will really happen again. These professional players will have to bury their heads in the soil... No, where is the lineup for tomorrow's game? We have to continue.
Drawing lots? How can we predict this?"
"Uncle!"
Looking at the very involved man in the image, Mengzhu shouted again: "I'm calling you!"
"ah?"
"You, you..." Looking at the other person looking at her face, the girl hiding in the bed curled up again: "If I... or we participate in the competition together, is it possible to make money?"
"..."
Duan Qing did not answer, but still looked at her indifferently.
"You, Sister Liuzhang, and Sister Ninglan are all so good. With the two of us who are lagging behind... we should be able to defeat many players, right? Even if we don't get the first place, at least we can get a good ranking."
No?" Facing Duan Qing's silent expression, the girl's voice became more and more serious: "Maybe, we can also get a share of the total bonus pool and earn money that we will never make in our lifetime.
…”
"...Hey, hehe, hahahaha!"
In Mengzhu's surprised eyes, Duan Qing burst out laughing: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."
"After all these years, I still hear such words...and it's from your mouth."
"Again, what's wrong, uncle?"
"nothing."
The uncle in the image lowered his head and covered his eyes with his palms: "The Fool's Adventure Group participates in the League Cup? The idea is excellent, maybe they can get an ideal ranking, and a legitimate life-saving money, maybe
I can conquer the world and grab a piece of territory in that professional world, but it's a pity..."
"I won't participate in the competition." Duan Qing whispered: "I'm afraid I won't be able to in this life."
Snapped.
The image was suddenly cut off, and the interior of the room returned to darkness, leaving only boundless silence and the incomprehensible face of the girl who had been given a soup.
************************************
"You taught that girl to do this, right?"
"...are you finally willing to reply to my message?"
"You're introducing Chen Tianfan again, and you're introducing bonuses... Do you really want me to come out so much?"
"This is your punishment for avoiding it. And...those things are all at my discretion. I can't be responsible for what other people will think of."
"……you are vicious."
"Compared to your disappearance in the past three years, this setback is nothing."
"Her brother is sick, which should be the reason why she has been offline in a hurry recently."
"What?"
"She just told me...she needs a lot of money for medical treatment, so she needs money very much now. If you have time...just go and ask."
"Really...why don't you care?"
"Nonsense, I can't control it now..."
"Ha, then I don't care. Why should I pay for the medical treatment of my love rival?"
"……What?"
"What, why do you think I came to Hualan? Do you think three years will make me give up easily? I have worked so hard to find you for so long and you ignored me, but now you have taken the initiative to contact me for a girl.
?”
"You, you..."
"When you blurted out, did you think of a woman who had been waiting for you for three years for a quarter of an hour? What was her name?"
Looking at the large string of text that kept popping up on the screen, Duan Qing's fingers did not move for a long time. After a while, he looked at the top of the cabin in a daze and let out a long sigh. The sound was still echoing in his ears.
There was a prompting sound when the message was sent, but he was a little agitated in his heart, but he was in no mood to continue reading. Only at the end, he left a few words at the bottom of the dialog box: "Sorry..."
"It's my fault this time, go to sleep."
He closed all the chat interfaces and got up with a lonely expression. The prompt sound from the system was like a mischievous elf. It rang again from the panel where Duan Qing was: "Are you there?"
"The labor and management haven't come to their senses yet, so I won't write so much. I originally thought I was joking on myself, but I didn't expect that the big bosses of the alliance were so generous that they actually sent Chen Tianfan here! Hahahaha, I
I still can’t believe it…”
"That's not right. Didn't they save half of the labor fee? Damn it, I still can't beat these old guys..."
"This time in the UEFA Cup, the quality of the competition is still very good. There are so many wonderful scenes that I was a little dazzled by myself. When I first started doing this, I didn't feel much, but now I feel like I'm there alone.
It's really a very tiring thing. Even if my brain can keep up, my voice can't keep up... Oh, I'm not showing my age, I just want to find a few more reasons, okay
Let me continue to look for guests!"
"How do you think about it? Do you want to come? Although the date of the competition has been moved forward due to the compression of the qualifiers, but... I believe you have been paying attention to this final, right? You are even talking about it.
When we arrive at the scene, you, who has been disappearing for three years, must be hiding in a corner not far from here, right? The Heavenly Shield has arrived, shouldn't you also give your seniors some face?
Do you want to support my show?"
"Looking forward to your answer."
Duan Qing didn't answer. He didn't even look at the specific content of the message. He just looked at the top of the message, which was part of the historical record - a message posted by Fanhua Sijin when he wrote the last letter.
The formal invitation to the alliance and the payment amount attached to it were written there very conspicuously, as dazzling as real gold, attracting his attention.
