Ye Shuiyou's car is really good. Xiao Lan asked Ye Shuiyou to park the car downstairs before this trip. Homecoming is about to be established and he needs to contact many parties. In this case, coordination back and forth is the best way to do this.
It's inevitable.
The harmonic sound echoed in the car every second. Xiao Lan calmly picked up the phone and heard a sweet female voice from the other side.
"Xinxin, I, Xiao Lan, have been released from prison, but I'm not sure yet whether he can come with us."
"Then what can you do?"
"There is only one way..."
After Xiao Lan talked on the phone for a long time, an anxious voice came from the other side.
"What? Are you going to use the money you earned from your first auction to pay off the loan shark for that kid? You are too good for a good guy..."
"Stop talking, what I have experienced in the past few days has made me change my previous thoughts. In life, you can't care too much about money, otherwise, your life will be very tiring." After Xiao Lan said that, he turned the phone off.
and hung up the phone.
When the car reached the Fourth Ring Road, it blended into the traffic, just in time for the rush hour. Even on the main road of the Fourth Ring Road without traffic lights, the speed of the car was still not high. Looking under the bridge, there happened to be a pedestrian street below.
Crowds of pedestrians strolled on the street, everything was calm and orderly, without the slightest sign of violence. The night wind was a bit cool, and the sweetness like lollipops seeped into the aroma of the grass. This long-lost feeling
The breath made Xiao Lan feel an inexplicable throbbing, as if all the pores in his body wanted to stretch out to capture such freshness and longness.
Passing by a small street shop, Xiao Lan had already driven the car, but after thinking about it, he turned back and said, "Boss, here are two packs of double mutton ingredients, two packs of hard-packed lamb, and two cans of beer."
.”
Ten minutes later, at a parking spot under Liuli Bridge, Xiao Lan got out of the car, when a woman suddenly greeted him.
The woman was in her forties and was the person in charge of the surrounding community, mainly responsible for the homeless people in this area.
"Three years ago, after he became mentally ill, his condition has been getting worse. If it continues like this, he may have to enter a mental hospital." The two of them picked up a few bags, and Xiao Lan also took the things he had bought from the car.
Come down and walk towards a ragged young man opposite.
"What did his family say?" Xiao Lan asked anxiously from the side.
"They said they had to sever ties with him to avoid being hacked by debt collectors in the game again." The middle-aged woman sighed and continued with a smile, "Actually, this kind of situation often happens in our community. Fortunately,
With the help of you volunteers, by the way, help me take these to him."
A few minutes later, three just-right stones were placed in a triangle, a fire was lit in the empty space in the middle, and a pot was placed on top. An extremely simple double mutton environment was set up.
"Slow down, be careful."
The man opposite Xiao Lan's chopstick hands trembled, but he still tried his best to put the mutton into his mouth. Xiao Lan took a chopstick himself and tasted it with relish.
The man just looked at Xiao Lan but didn't say a word.
"I'll find you a new place in a while. The environment there is nice, and it will be your new home." Xiao Lan said while putting a piece of meat into his bowl.
The man stared at Xiao Lan, not eating meat. His left hand holding the chopsticks couldn't help but tremble. The chopsticks and the beer cans hit each other, making a sharp snapping sound.
"Don't...I...I can't go home, they will kill my whole family." The man stammered, but Xiao Lan could see that his stuttering was not born, let alone a stutter, but came from the bottom of his heart.
That deep fear.
"Don't...don't talk about my family...don't talk about my family..."
Xiao Lan grabbed the opponent's arm and took out a piece of paper rolled into a scroll shape from his pocket with his other hand. The quality of the paper was very good, and there were exquisite wooden sleeves on both sides.
"This...is this a secret order in dragon language?" The man's eyes widened when he saw it. He never dreamed that he would get such a thing one day.
After unfolding, under the neon light, a divine dragon loomed on the paper. Here was the most important guild invitation in the minds of players in the early days of the old version - the Secret Order of the Dragon Language.
The word "Long Yu" in it is naturally taken from the ID of the president, Long Xinxin, "Long Yu Wentian".
…
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when Xiao Lan got home. When he turned on his phone, it turned out that Xiao Lan knew that Long Xinxin had returned the money to a designated account for him. Xiao Lan smiled and shook his head, but he knew very well that this Xi Shui
The eldest sister who is passing through the years is never willing to look back when she does something.
"Brother Lan..."
As soon as the lights were turned on, Ye Shuiyou and Fenghuang Impression came out of the bedroom. Fenghuang Impression was better than before, at least his face looked much rosier.
"Bai Yuan, you shouldn't hide this from me." Xiao Lan shook his head, but still said quite relaxedly.
The word "Bai Yuan" completely stunned Phoenix. Even Ye Shuiyou next to him could feel that his little sister's body was trembling, one after another.
"What...what's going on? What about Bai Yuan?" Ye Shuiyou asked immediately.
Xiao Lan sat down on the sofa. He didn't know how to organize his words at this moment, but after looking out the window, he still spoke slowly.
"Phoenix Impression, your real name is actually Bai Yuan, and you also have a brother named Bai Nan. When the old version of Yuehua Legend was officially launched, he entered it with the dream of gold mining, but it didn't take long for him to enter the game.
It's a vicious cycle, unable to make ends meet, and the expenses are getting bigger and bigger. Bai Nan has no choice but to sell his sister to a nightclub as a waitress. But Fenghuang has a very firm impression that she can be a waiter, but she will never sell her body.
"
While Ye Shuiyou was listening to Xiao Lan's narration, his head slowly turned to the Phoenix image on the side, his eyes full of surprise.
"Because Phoenix Impression was pretty, she quickly became a popular girl in the nightclub. In order to attract customers, the boss reluctantly agreed to her request. This is why Phoenix Impression can only work in the nightclub during the day.
In fact, she is not a college student at all. For her brother, she did not go to college at all."
"Brother Zhui Meng, please stop talking, please?" Fenghuang Impression couldn't help it any longer and knelt down directly in front of Xiao Lan and Ye Shuiyou. He was already crying uncontrollably.
"Your parents borrowed 800,000 yuan in usury before they died. Now Long Xinxin has paid back 700,000 yuan for you. I will pay the remaining 100,000 yuan, but the premise is that you must get through your brother's
Work, and then give this thing to him for me."
Another scroll. When she left, Long Xinxin only gave a total of five such things to Xiao Lan. Although Long Xinxin wanted to give them to her later, Xiao Lan felt that with the decline of Homecoming, these
There is no need for things to exist anymore.
But today, Xiao Lan, who sent out two at once, must have fully realized that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Unrolling the scroll, Phoenix Impression nodded resolutely. Tears dripped on the paper drop by drop, but they were not absorbed by it, but fell directly down.
"What on earth is going on? How do you know about Phoenix Impression?" Ye Shuiyou couldn't help but ask outside after settling down Phoenix Impression in the room.
"Actually, I didn't mean to. There is a key chain on Phoenix Impression's waist, and the small plate on it says Bai Nan's name. And this Bai Nan is a person we knew when we were in the older version of Like Water, but
Although we know him, we are not familiar with him. He is from another guild, and we only know some basic information about him."
"Later, because of his careless actions during a mission, he lost all the money he had invested before, which directly led to his current situation."
Ye Shuiyou shook his head after hearing this: "I didn't expect that high-end players like you at that time would be so risky?"
Xiao Lan shook his head: "What high-end players? There is no word "high-end" in the game, only the amount of investment. For those who invest less, can you say that they are not high-end? In fact, it is just that one skill is better than others.
It’s just short.”
As Xiao Lan was talking, the phone in his hand rang again. It turned out that it was Rong Xinshui who urged Xiao Lan and others to come online again, because tonight, the first round of knockout rounds was about to take place. And Xiao Lan and others' opponents were the ones in the previous row.
The arrogant family ranked second in another group.
"Haha, I'm afraid it's going to be quite difficult tonight." Xiao Lan glanced at Ye Shuiyou, then at the bedroom next to him where Phoenix Impression was sleeping, and shook his head.
"Forget it, there are only seven people. The Arrogant Family is nothing special. They are all defeated by their subordinates." Ye Shuiyou also smiled and went back to the house to prepare.
The screen flashed, and Xiao Lan and Ye Shuiyou appeared again in the fire element cave of St. Francis Church, while the rest of the people appeared in Hyrule City.
Time was really tight. As soon as Xiao Lan and others came online, the system issued a countdown prompt.
brush……
When I was about to look inside and outside, the map was completely dark and I couldn't see my fingers.
"It's buried in the deep valley again." Rongxin complained with a pout.
"By the way, she didn't come?" Long Xinxin looked around, but only found 6 people.
"Well, no one can bear this kind of thing, let alone a young girl." Xiao Lan said lightly.
"Forget it, if you don't make it, you won't go. It's just a PK competition. The worst thing is that you lose this time. Anyway, the teams that enter the knockout rounds will be rewarded." Long Xinxin nodded and said.
The countdown time ended, and Xiao Lan and others faced off against the arrogant family on the opposite side with an incomplete lineup of 7 people.
The first game of the knockout round actually started with such a comparison of strengths.
