Frankly speaking, Su Ji was still a little uncomfortable with the current atmosphere.
After all, Liu Yiyi is recognized as the royal sister in the class, and the image of the eldest sister has been firmly established.
But now her voice is gentle and soft, and she speaks softly, sounding just like the neighbor's sister who wore a white dress when she was a child.
And frankly speaking, Su Ji and Liu Yiyi are not familiar with each other.
In my impression, this was the first time he and Liu Yiyi had face-to-face communication, so it was inevitable that they would feel a little unfamiliar after getting along with each other.
"Um……"
"I just want to say thank you."
Liu Yiyi said softly, her eyes were very clear and full of sincerity:
"To be honest, I didn't expect that the first person who came to save me would be You."
"If it weren't for you, today would be the last day for me and my mother."
Su Ji smiled: "As long as you're fine."
"So many things happened in the past, and I only found out about them today."
Liu Yiyi said softly, "Mom went to cooperate with the Kuroshio organization to raise money for my treatment."
"After all these years, she didn't expect to be targeted again by this group of people."
"It's only today that I realized that there are so many unknown things hidden in this world."
"The player's circle..."
"It seems to be a more complex existence than the world I originally touched."
"Actually, you are not alone." Su Ji held a stick of French fries in her mouth, shook her head and said, "I think so too, and so do many other people."
"So it's impossible to quit, right?" Liu Yiyi asked casually.
"Although saying it may make you feel a little frustrated, -" Su Ji nodded: "That's right."
The first lesson Su Ji took during training was about the history and background of the killing field game.
In the long history of games, which is as long as the ancient galaxy, there has never been an example of a player quitting the game midway.
Once joining the game, players must endlessly duel and compete on the battlefield between the spiritual realm and the real world until a new champion race is determined.
And now there seems to be some news circulating among the top players, saying that this year’s battlefield game will be unprecedentedly intense and cruel.
Because not only are new races coming, it is even possible to open up new war zones.
According to the discussion in the Oath Forum, the most likely new war zone to appear at present is probably the underworld.
Among them, the most representative race born in the underworld is naturally the [Undead].
But judging from today's situation, this rumor is probably not just a rumor.
After all, he saw with his own eyes Fenrir, the giant undead wolf that was recalled from the underworld.
From this point of view, the [Undead] race will become a very difficult enemy for mankind in the future.
However, judging from the current data, there are still a relatively small number of undead players active in the real world, and they will probably not pose a big threat to humans for a while.
But what happens next...
Who knows?
"Ah? It's okay. I have nothing to be depressed about."
Liu Yiyi shook her head nonchalantly, and finally regained her sisterly demeanor:
"To tell you the truth, I have long accepted this kind of thing."
"Since we can't stop or change it, it's better to think about how to adapt to this new world."
"In my opinion, it would be good to think of him as a new era that is coming."
"Anyway, no matter we live in good times or bad times, we have to live seriously and hard, right?"
Su Ji paused slightly while chewing potato chips, and her eyes seemed to move slightly.
"Yes." He said softly.
Unknowingly, the chat box seemed to be opened.
The two sat in front of the flood embankment and talked about old times and things from their high school days.
Meeting old classmates feels like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
"We didn't know each other very well back in high school, and I never had the chance to communicate with you."
"Hmm~"
"Although I don't know what you have been through in the past few years, it seems that you have changed a lot since the player incident happened."
Liu Yiyi nodded and said in a teasing tone, "He is much more handsome than before. Really, I lied to you that I was a puppy."
"You're really flattering me." Su Ji subconsciously touched her nose.
"I'll leave first, it's getting late."
Yiyi stood up, raised her hands above her head, and stretched her soft waist, "You have time to make an appointment for dinner another day?"
"No problem." Su Ji made an OK gesture.
"Okay, I'll call you when my sister is free." Liu Yiyi waved her hand, turned around and walked away coolly.
[The seemingly casual and successful invitation made the little deer in the girl a little restless. 】
【Why!】
[It’s really a pity to say that, starting from tonight, there may be another girl who has been harmed in this world...]
"Get lost."
Su Ji cursed in a low voice.
After Liu Yiyi left, she also received a message from Hua Jianxiao on her phone, saying that the cleaning work on the battlefield had been completed and she could come back.
I looked at the time again, and it was indeed getting late.
After finding a trash can and throwing the finished takeout bags in, Su Ji returned the same way.
On the way, Su Ji happened to pass by the team of macho brothers responsible for escorting criminals.
Both Xiao Yong and Lu Hekai have been arrested.
The two of them have been tightly cuffed by Tianxuanhui's special anti-psychic handcuffs, and are being pushed around like zombies surrounded by a circle of special police with guns and a dozen players.
At this moment, these two people had long lost their arrogant and arrogant appearance in the past.
The most obvious contrast is naturally that of Xiao Yong, the chief director of Xinning Branch.
He was already quite young, but now he looked as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.
His hair was visibly whiter, his face was unshaven, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and he had thick bags under his eyes that could fit a ping pong ball.
It felt as if one foot had already stepped into the coffin.
When passing by, Xiao Yong said expressionlessly:
"congratulations."
"You win this time, kid."
Su Ji said lightly: "It will be the same next time - it's a pity that there will be no next time."
"No."
Xiao Yong shook his head and slowly showed a meaningful smile:
"Not only will there be a next time, you will also have a next time, and a next time..."
"This game will never end until the final winner is determined."
"You are still young now and can still win many, many times..."
Xiao Yong stared at Su Ji with bloodshot eyes:
"But what's the point?"
"After all, there are only two ways to survive."
"Either you keep winning, step on the corpses piled up like a hill, and climb all the way to the throne."
"Either--just choose the right place where your butt is sitting."
"oh!"
Su Ji nodded calmly, as if suddenly enlightened:
"I understand, I understand."
"So Director Xiao, you are hanging your butt on a tree."
Xiao Yong's face suddenly turned pale.
He didn't say anything more, but gave Su Ji a look of resentment, snorted coldly, and left without looking back.
Following Lu Hekai, the two of them were pushed into a police car equipped with bulletproof armor.
The car door is closed.
Xiao Yong's view of the world was cut into a small square.
The siren sounded and the bulletproof vehicle gradually moved away.
"What will happen to them?"
Su Ji looked at Xia Ying aside and said.
"After going through the relevant legal procedures and processes, we will be convicted and sentenced."
Xia Ying said: "The charges against these two people are not light. After the process is over, it is a certainty that Xiao Yong will be sentenced to death."
"As for Lu Hekai, the best outcome is just life imprisonment."
"Probably he will be thrown to the Italian island of Poveglia and imprisoned for the rest of his life."
"But being thrown into a hellish place like that, it's better to just die."
"Indeed." Su Ji nodded.
After all, it is a place called the Island of Death.
Because there have been too many plague victims on this island in the past.
In the fourteenth century, the Black Death swept across the entire continent of Europe, and Poveglia Island was used as a place to isolate infected people.
Since then, countless travelers and explorers have claimed to have heard the wails of the fallen there.
If you want to stay in that place for the rest of your life...
It's really better to just die.
"Thank you for your hard work tonight."
Xia Ying said, "It's getting late, go back and have a good rest."
"The captain and superiors will definitely be busy tonight, so we'll have to supply you with late night snacks another day."
"Ah, actually I was just talking casually..."
Su Ji scratched her head and said, "And... thank you tonight."
Even though she didn't specify it clearly, Xia Ying understood what he was referring to.
Su Ji actually knew that concealing the true situation on the battlefield was an act that was absolutely prohibited in the Tianxuan Society's "Player Charter".
This matter was originally just his own business, but after Xia Ying was involved, everything became not that simple.
If the superiors find out that Xia Ying knew about it and failed to report it, not only will he be punished, but Xia Ying will also bear considerable responsibility.
In other words, if you calm down and think about this matter tonight, he did indeed do something wrong.
He was like a naughty kid who broke his toys in the store, and Xia Ying was the tired mother who followed him and wiped his butt.
I feel really sorry to say it...
But then again.
Apart from anything else, stabbing that bastard to death one by one is indeed quite comforting...
The soldiers above are irrational, just like the people who kill four times have no IQ.
"You're welcome, I understand." Xia Ying nodded and said, "It's always like this the first time."
Hey, hey, hey, don't drive such a useless car like that slutty guy... The corner of Su Ji's mouth twitched.
"Besides, I've done this kind of thing before." Xia Ying added.
"Eh?"
Su Ji was stunned for a moment, and before she could chew it carefully, Xia Ying walked away.
"See you tomorrow." she said.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Su Ji also replied.
＊
＊
The night is getting darker.
The dock and warehouse area, which had been busy all night, finally came to a standstill.
The pink Maserati was parked under the garage of the small mansion.
The two parking spaces that Lan Wentao bought finally came into use. The pink Maserati and the orange Lexus each occupied one space, which abruptly raised the level of excitement in the garage to a higher level.
Su Ji and Hua Jianxiao had been fighting all night, and were exhausted by this time. After a few bad words, they both became silent in a tacit understanding.
Go home, take a shower, and lie down on the big, soft bed.
Looking at the chandelier on the ceiling, Su Ji felt that her tense nerves finally relaxed.
But what followed immediately was the complicated emotions that came to my heart unconsciously.
——He needs to face some choices alone.
Needless to say, it will definitely become a regular job.
With his ordinary third-rate bachelor's degree and professional skills and work experience that he is ashamed to share, it is simply a fantasy to find a job with the same level of pay in a normal world.
Unless you want to be like that cool guy in Hua Jianxiao and wait for twenty years of hard work to find the right person, then just go to sleep.
As long as he becomes an official member of the Tianxuan Society, he can get a salary that would make almost 99% of the people around him envious.
In this society where heroes are most often judged based on salary and income.
This job would allow him, a failed young man who had been a negative example since childhood, not only to become someone else's child, but at least to gain respect and recognition that he had never experienced before.
So the question arises - what happens next?
Like Sister Tang, Xia Ying and Die Sao Nan, can they truly become a professional gamer and dedicate all their life and enthusiasm to this career?
If [Shengtang] really sends me a recruitment letter, will I really have the courage to embark on this journey?
If I died gloriously, would my parents be proud of their son who dedicated his life to the great and heroic cause of mankind?
and……
Is this really what I want to do from the bottom of my heart?
Su Ji couldn't help but think to herself.
Regarding this issue, when he was chatting with Liu Yiyi just now, he was indeed touched by her words.
However, this was far from the point where he could make up his mind.
Every young person who has just graduated will feel confused about the future, let alone myself who has been living in confusion for twenty years?
And what he had to face was still such a rough road.
"Brother, tell me, what should I do?"
Su Ji played with the [Unmarked Knife] in her hand, looked at the vast starry sky outside the window, and murmured.
After tonight's mission was over, the knife was ordered to be temporarily left here for his safekeeping.
According to the Tianxuan Society's charter, props above the level of [Blue Treasure] obtained in official missions must be turned over to the national treasury.
But regarding this clause in the Charter, there is actually a key addition later.
That is: "If the prop can play a significant role in the hands of a certain player, and the player has made a commensurate outstanding contribution to the Tianxuan Society, then the prop can be awarded to the player as a meritorious reward. . ”
Su Ji happened to meet this additional requirement.
In other words.
Starting today, he has his first [Blue Treasure] level equipment.
According to Hua Jianxiao, for newcomers, this is also a rare and highest honor.
You know, most newcomers at the same stage as him can already arrogantly stare at other players of the same period with their noses just by possessing a [Purple Rare] level weapon.
Unfortunately, although the Wuming Dao is very powerful, it doesn't seem to be very good at talking to its owner.
The ember energy on its body has gradually faded away, and its black armor has also been disarmed.
Holding it in Su Ji's hand, it has returned to its original sage mode shape of only twenty centimeters.
The Unmarked Sword in the form of a sage can be described with a simple word, that is - pulling the crotch.
Not only does it stretch the crotch, but it's also tasteless, and it feels like you could commit suicide by caesarean section.
But at this moment, Su Ji discovered.
The unmarked knife placed under the moonlight streaming in outside the window seemed to be absorbing the moonlight around it.
The solidified moonlight formed small silver-white crystals, which gradually formed the blade of the unmarked sword.
Compared with the previous black one, the silver-white new blade looks more beautiful.
And it feels more integrated with the original blade.
The light blooming from the blade is like an unsheathed thunderbolt, which can cut through the darkness in an instant.
Su Ji stared at the slightly flickering tip of the knife, and new words gradually appeared in front of her eyes.
【Do you know what the sharpest knife in the world is?】
Su Ji was slightly stunned.
interesting.
Because this time, the prompt text in front of me was actually a question sentence.
This was the first time he had seen such a sentence.
However, this strange question coincidentally hit Su Ji's blind spot in knowledge, so he had to answer truthfully:
"have no idea."
【What?】
[As a socialist successor who graduated from nine-year compulsory education, you don’t even know this?]
"What's that like?"
【I have no idea.】
Su Ji: "?"
How can we smash this dog system?
Waiting online, quite urgent...
【Just a joke.】
[I really don’t know the answer to this question.]
【but I know--】
【The most powerful knife, what kind of things can be cut off.】
"Kill yourself by pretending to be someone else."
Su Ji held the knife backwards and made a dissection gesture.
【Don't, don't get excited!】
[If you have something to say, please say it. The world is so beautiful, but you are so irritable...]
【Ahem!】
[The most powerful and sharp knife in the world can not only cut through three thousand sorrows, but also the love between children.]
[If one day, if you really own this extremely precious sword...]
【I hope you can cut off more than just this.】
"What's the meaning?"
Su Ji frowned slightly.
[I hope you will cut off the confusing and complicated words in this world with your sword and horse.]
[Whether they come from ancient history books, strange civilizations, or lost ruins...]
[As long as you make that knife, you will discover a new world that you have never heard of before among the layers of twists and turns. 】
[In that magical and magnificent place, you will find a more mysterious and great power...]
As the text scrolls and refreshes continuously.
In Su Ji's field of vision, he saw a new function button slowly appearing in the text editing toolbar.
