In the early morning, the warm sunshine falls on the Sioux City landmark building "Sioux City Gate". In the cafe on the top floor of Sioux City Gate, two stunning women sit face to face drinking coffee and eating breakfast. One has a delicate face and a smiling face.
Feminine, with a graceful figure and slender legs, they are exactly the characters Shen Xingchen and Leng Yan in the game.
Shen Xingchen stirred the coffee with a spoon in his left hand, and gently swiped the control panel with his right hand to bring up one screenshot after another in the game, as well as some lists in the database.
"How about it?"
He smiled coldly and said, "How have you been with Su Xinghe recently? Is there any progress?"
"progress?"
Shen Xingchen glanced at her with his beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "Where can we start talking about progress, Miss Xu? He and I are just schoolmates, we don't have that kind of relationship, and he is not my favorite."
The corner of Leng Yan's mouth raised slightly: "But Su Xinghe is not ordinary enthusiastic towards you. The dignified leader of the Galaxy Guild has such a high voice in the national server that some people have already used the term 'born king' to describe him. Ever since Yue Heng last
After the first game, more than a hundred years later, the only real king in our national server is Ding Muchen..."
"Yeah..."
Shen Xingchen looked gentle and said with a smile: "People from more than a hundred years ago, people at that time, how pure they were in playing games. As far as just playing games, raising operations, tactics, and awareness to the limit is enough.
Okay, but what we have now, the second world and the metaverse, are just a resource-plundering game in a virtual world. In essence, it’s still human-cannibalism, but without bloodshed.”
"Okay!"
He chuckled coldly: "My worldly sober Shen Xingchen sent such a stunning hypersonic vertical take-off and landing aircraft to Ningcheng so early to pick me up for coffee and breakfast. Isn't it just to be cynical?
"
"That's not true, there are other things."
Shen Xingchen smiled slightly: "Ayan, although we are friends who only met in the internal beta test of "The World", but... I just like you so much, and we hit it off right away, so as good sisters, there are some things I shouldn't say, but still
What to say.”
"oh?"
Leng Yan took a bite of tiramisu, looked up at her, and said with a smile: "Tell me, you can tell me whether you like it or not. I'm mentally prepared. I'll take a few more bites if I get angry."
"Yeah..."
Shen Xingchen lowered his head slightly and saw the tall breasts on his chest. She almost couldn't see the menu when ordering just now. She felt a little embarrassed and her face turned slightly red. Just say yes. Who made you grow so big?
, it’s not like she was going to compete. She coughed, covering up her embarrassment, and said: "Ayan, do you particularly like the commander of the Death Battalion on the Snowy Tianchi, the man named Lin Zhao?"
"I asked this suddenly..."
Leng Yan's pretty face turned red instantly: "What are you going to do!?"
"meaningless."
Shen Xingchen pursed his red lips and said: "You are a person living in the real world, and he is an NPC in the game. After all, he is a person from two worlds. It is impossible for him to come out of the game, right?
Is it possible that you, Miss Xu, have been clinging to the game all your life and never come out again? Even if you were willing, your parents would not agree."
"Know it……"
Leng Yan frowned slightly: "Thinking about it...it's really sad. If he really existed, how wonderful would it be..."
"Don't be like this..."
Shen Xingchen frowned and said softly: "Actually, you should be mentally prepared."
"What kind of mental preparation?"
"Parting from him."
Shen Xingchen said: "The kind of farewell forever."
"ah?!"
Leng Yan was slightly startled: "Why...why?"
"Lin Zhao's fate has been decided." Shen Xingchen looked into his best friend's eyes and said, "Lin Zhao, as well as those NPCs from the Chen Dynasty in Snowy Tianchi, such as Chu Huaixi, Chen Yu, Huang Tingyu and others
, the final fate is probably to die on the battlefield, and die in the snowy Tianchi map."
"Why?"
Leng Yan suddenly felt very, very sad, with almost tears in her eyes: "Why must this happen?"
"Because the layout of the world has already been decided."
Shen Xingchen took a sip of coffee and said: "The entire Snowy Tianchi and the entire Tianchi army are just chess pieces, or in other words, they are just pawns. The real chess players are in Baidi City."
"..."
The cold-faced woman frowned slightly: "That emperor in Baidi City?"
"No, the emperor has no such intention."
Shen Xingchen's red lips slightly opened: "The person who really plays this game of chess in the world should be Marquis Wen of Baidi City. Many major events that happened before, including Marquis Wu's expedition, the snow-covered Tianchi to defend the enemy, etc., are all very important.
It may be part of his plan. When I took over the mission at Baidi City, I heard some relevant news several times. All the southern armies of the Great Shang Dynasty moved north and were stationed in the area of the Fusu Great Wall.
Half of the troops at Daxiong Pass have also appeared in the snowy Tianchi, so a battle with the four northern tribes is inevitable."
"Based on these, it doesn't necessarily mean that Tianchi Army is in a dead end?" Leng Yan was still unwilling to give in.
"you listen to me."
Shen Xingchen stretched out his hand and pressed his best friend's shoulder, and said softly: "These days, the children in the small town have been sent to the south, including some women who have no fighting ability, farmers, etc. have all gone to the Great Shang Dynasty.
The total number is more than 10,000. Think about it, the Shang Dynasty has always regarded the descendants of the Chen Dynasty as a thorn in its side, why should they accept them? What's more, many children of the Chen Dynasty were sent to the upper reaches of the Shang Dynasty.
I went to a good academy, so I think Chu Huaixi actually had a deal with Wen Shuoyang a long time ago."
Leng Yan felt a chill in her heart and asked, "What kind of deal will it be?"
"Chu Huaixi led the Tianchi Army to fight the demon clan to the death."
Shen Xingchen pursed her red lips and said softly: "The Tianchi army must be completely wiped out in exchange for a descendant of the Chen Dynasty to thrive in the land of Dashang. Wenhou Wen Shuoyang mobilized all his troops to fight in the snowy Tianchi and North
The plan for the decisive battle between the four tribes is to determine the outcome in one battle, to strangle all the main armies of the four northern tribes once and for all, and at the same time to wipe out the last army of the Chen Dynasty, so that one war can solve the internal and external troubles of the Shang Dynasty. "
Leng Yan gritted her silver teeth, feeling confused.
Shen Xingchen continued: "So far, what I have said is just my inference, and there is no very strong evidence yet. But if Marquis Wen issues an order to dispatch the Xia prisoners and refugees stationed at the Fusu Great Wall to the snowy Tianchi,
If I join the war, it will confirm my idea even more, Wen Shuoyang has a very deep plan."
Leng Yan was confused and pursed her lips: "It's too complicated. I'm actually too lazy to think about it."
"Um."
Shen Xingchen nodded: "Actually, there is not much we players can do. After all, there are only ten people in the closed beta. If we have hundreds of thousands of elite players, we may be able to influence the situation of the battle, but not now. I doubt this snow
The war in Yu Tianchi is the final battle of the internal beta. When this war is over, the internal beta will be over."
"Is Lin Zhao really going to die?"
"Yes, just a wisp of data has been erased."
"knew……"
Leng Yan held the coffee cup and took a sip. The morning light fell on her shoulders. I don't know why, but today's coffee was particularly bitter. Maybe there was no sugar added when I ordered it?
…
Tianchi Town.
In the afternoon, a young scholar wandered into the town carrying a bamboo box. He looked to be in his thirties and had a handsome face, but his expression was a little decadent. He was leaning on a hiking pole and there were all kinds of things in the bamboo box.
It was a stack of books by sages and some bamboo slips. It was very heavy, but he still carried the heavy bamboo box and stepped into the town step by step.
When passing by the front street, the scholar paused for a moment in front of the bookstore. It was not until Qin Suihan came out of the house that he slowly bowed and saluted: "Gu Zixi, see you, my junior uncle."
"Zixi..."
Qin Suihan smiled slightly: "It seems that the academy sent you here this time?"
"Um."
Gu Zixi nodded and chuckled: "Twelve realms... There are not many brothers among us. We can't let the old master fight, so we can only choose one from my generation, but those brothers are not up to par."
Ah, you can't beat me, so I have to do it in the end."
"confident?"
"No."
Gu Zixi shook his head and said with a smile: "Anyway, my heart is already dead. Just fight with all my strength. If I win, I will make a great contribution to the world and all of it will be recorded on my head. If I lose, it will be all on me, Gu Zixi."
Above all, I, Gu Zixi, am incompetent."
"Actually, it's not necessary."
Qin Suihan said: "If you really can't get out of love, you can take your time. You don't need to come to the Snowy Tianchi."
"You want what you want."
Gu Zixi smiled brightly: "You have to do your duty... I, Gu Zixi, am the best at fighting the twelve realms in the academy. If I don't come, I can't be justified. Those Taoist priests and Mohists are still pointing at the backbones of us scholars and secretly scolding us.
Although Zixi is not talented, I am still willing to fight for us scholars!"
Qin Suihan couldn't help laughing: "Come in for a sip of tea?"
"No, no, no!"
Gu Zixi lifted the bamboo box up from his buttocks and said with a smile: "I heard that there is a Baiweixuan here in the snowy Tianchi that launches a delicacy called 'hot pot'. There is also a saying that the hot pot is paired with wine. The more you drink, the better.
, half of my trip down the mountain was for this, and the other half was for the demon clan."
Qin Suihan smiled and raised his hand: "Go, it's in the back street!"
"Okay, little uncle, come back and play chess with me..."
"good."
…
late at night.
The young scholar placed the bamboo box by the window sill on the second floor of Baiweixuan. He ordered a hot pot by himself and cooked the meat while drinking wine. He was quite elegant and elegant like a scholar. When he was half drunk, he looked across the way.
He suddenly felt a little lost in an empty chair, his eyes were filled with a sense of loss. At this moment, with such delicious food, it would be great if she could sit there and have a drink with him...
It's a pity that if you miss it, you will never look back.
