The lights on the first floor were on. Xiao Zhi opened the door with the key and found his father sitting on a stool waiting for him.
"That one just now... was Shi Piao?" Father Xiao asked.
Although he has never met Shi Piao in person, he has seen some photos of Shi Piao in his WeChat Moments.
The photos in the WeChat Moments are usually photos that are beautiful and well-edited, and there are still some differences between them and the person. Therefore, Xiao's father did not recognize Shi Piaolai at the first time.
However, he was not a fool. After seeing his son's various abnormal reactions today, he still guessed what happened.
"Yeah." Xiao Zhi nodded.
His previous actions were too obvious. Even if he wanted to hide this matter, he couldn't.
"Have you reconciled with her?" Father Xiao asked again.
His son's life-long events have always been a matter of great concern to him.
"No." Xiao Zhi shook his head: "Dad, don't mention her again. There is no longer any relationship between her and me."
Father Xiao was startled, but then he squeezed out a smile and said, "It doesn't matter if you let it go. As a man, you must be brave enough to take on the responsibility and also be brave enough to let it go."
Xiao Zhi returned to the third floor where he was, sat on a chair, and stared at the night view of the city outside the window in a daze.
All expectations are gone...
There is no longer any possibility between him and her, it has been completely broken off.
There is pain, but more of it is relief.
Now think about it, the discomfort and pain after falling out of love is just torturing himself. It has no meaning other than making him decadent and sinking.
In this world, besides his parents, who else would really feel sorry for him and care about him?
Those vows she made were just a joke on her part, but he foolishly took them seriously.
In today's materialistic age, it's no longer the age when my parents were young. Really, it's really worthless.
He no longer dares to hope for love, nor does he want to touch it.
Xiao Zhi just sat on the chair for a few minutes.
Then, he turned on his mobile phone, clicked on the 'World of Living Beings' icon, and entered the 'World of Living Beings' game.
The world in the game is also at night.
There is no moon in the game world tonight and it is very dark, just like Xiao Zhi's current mood.
Xiao Zhi controlled the character to get up from the simple bed, then opened the door and entered the same simple yard.
The yard belongs to Yang Xu's family. Since Xiao Zhi started cooperating with Yang Xu's brother and sister and established a good relationship, he has lived in an empty room in Yang Xu's family.
People in the village go to bed early and usually go to bed soon after dark. The same goes for the Yang Xu brothers and sisters.
In order not to disturb the brother and sister's rest, Xiao Zhi gently opened the door to the courtyard and walked out quietly.
It's quiet outside, with only a few scattered lights.
Xiao Zhi, who had lived in Heping Village for several days, was already quite familiar with the topography of Heping Village. He went to the place where he had previously conducted strength training in the dark and started strength training.
It is very secluded here, let alone night, almost no one comes here even during the day.
Xiao Zhi is going to stay up late for strength training and strive to increase the character's strength value to 100 points tonight!
He could no longer continue to be so decadent and sinking.
Emotional issues have been resolved.
Then, there should be an end to the game.
After all, in the final analysis, games are just for leisure. They are just an additive in people's lives. He cannot rely on them to change his destiny.
As a man, career comes first.
He doesn't want to continue to sink in this game world, and it's time to choose to leave.
Then look for inspiration, collect information, and prepare for writing a new book.
Becoming a warrior is his last obsession in the game "World of Living Beings".
He wanted to become a warrior as soon as possible, but he gave up this obsession in his heart.
As for what he will do after becoming a warrior, he has already made a decision in his heart.
When leaving, you must leave simply and without any sloppiness.
After leaving, he will never come back.
Two hours later, the time came to 11:07 pm, and the phone vibrated slightly.
Tip: "Because you worked hard and seriously, your strength increased by 1 point."
The character's strength value has been increased by 1 point, from 97 points to 98 points.
You read that right, it did take Xiao Zhi 2 hours to increase this 1 point of strength value.
As the character's strength value gets closer and closer to 100 points, the time required to increase the strength value becomes longer and longer.
From 1 hour at the beginning, to 1 and a half hours later, to 2 hours now.
Xiao Zhi still clicks on the screen every few seconds to control the characters in the game world and perform strength training.
While conducting strength training for his character, Xiao Zhi used his computer to browse the game-specific forum of World of All Living Beings.
The time came to 11:26.
Tip: "Because of your unremitting exercise, your physical fitness has improved by 1 point."
Before I knew it, the time came to 11:57 pm.
Prompt: "You are very hungry now and need to eat."
Xiao Zhi was well prepared for this. He paused his training, controlled the character, took out a piece of dried meat from his body, put it into the character's mouth and started chewing it.
He took out another bamboo tube used to hold water from his body and opened the lid.
The character chews dried meat and drinks water.
After eating and drinking enough, continue strength training.
At 1:25 in the morning, my phone vibrated slightly.
Tip: "Because you worked hard and seriously, your strength increased by 1 point."
The character's strength value has been increased by 1 point, from 98 points to 99 points.
It's just 1 point away, just 1 point away, and your strength attribute can be increased to 100 points.
After staying up until early morning, Xiao Zhi's eyes were already covered with bloodshot eyes.
1:57 am.
Tip: "Because of your unremitting exercise, your physical fitness has improved by 1 point."
The character's physique has increased by 1 point, but this is no longer important.
The bloodshot eyes in Xiao Zhi's eyes became more and more numerous, and he became more and more sleepy.
2:51 am.
Prompt: "You are very hungry now and need to eat."
Xiao Zhi took out the food and water again and started eating and drinking. After eating and drinking enough, he continued strength training.
Finally, at 3:58 in the morning, Xiao Zhi's cell phone vibrated slightly again.
Tip: "Because you worked hard and seriously, your strength increased by 1 point."
The character's strength value has finally reached... 100 points.
Xiao Zhi rubbed his bloodshot eyes, with a relieved smile on his face.
Then, he quit the game, turned off the computer, threw his phone next to the pillow, and fell asleep.
