From the first time I logged into the game, the first time I fought monsters, the first time I upgraded, and the first time I caught a pet beast, I worked hard to become stronger little by little, with a simple belief in my heart: Only by being stronger than her can I protect her.
At that time, I was very tired, tired, bored and bored, lying on the grass in the swamp area, panting heavily and looking at the stars in the night sky above my head, but what appeared in my eyes was that she was even brighter than the stars.
Smile and eyes.
At that time, he stood up tiredly, with a smile on his face. When he thought that as soon as he reached level 20, he could see her and fight side by side with her in the same camp, he was so happy that he forgot everything. From evening to
At dawn, the boring and boring task of killing monsters is only supported by this belief.
From Xinshu Village, to Kerr Town, to Allen Grand Canyon and then to Stone City, he has experienced so many battles along the way, and he often fantasizes about her appearing in front of him in the game.
He also seriously wondered, if he met her in the game, would he tell her his true identity?
However---today, everything imagined has come true.
She was standing next to him.
She is fighting side by side with herself.
I'm trying my best to protect her.
No one knows how someone is feeling right now, and his heart is almost trembling with excitement... But on the outside, there is only one word to describe it---dumb.
"Master." Dingdang helplessly called someone who fell into a distracted state again, "Master!!"
"Oh!" Xiao Song tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand, and his spirit returned again.
"Master, the defenders who searched are gone." Dingdang whispered. Someone looked down at the map covered with red dots in his hand and pointed with his finger, "There are many here.
Defending players... Well, we have no choice but to take a detour, take a detour from the hill here!"
He checked his head and then waved to the dozen or so people behind him, "Everyone, follow me!!"
"You are just leading us here to sneak around the hills. Is this okay?" Huihuang's left hand muttered dissatisfiedly. Wei Aixue, who had already put away her dragon mount, resisted him, "Okay, you
!Let’s go!”
A group of people hunkered down and walked quietly on the path beside the hill. In the silence, there was only the sound of the "rustling" giant python slowly crawling. Dabai chased after the blood python, fiercely, sitting cross-legged on the blood python.
Zhang Yang above his head shouted "Stop!", and the blood python's huge body suddenly stopped, blocking the entire intersection. Dabai, who couldn't make a gesture, ran into it and scratched the silver python's tail with a tiger claw.
"Stop---" The blood python turned back fiercely, spat out a message ferociously, and the snake's head suddenly approached the white tiger, its pupils stood up, its fangs exposed, and it let out a low roar of disdain.
"Roar---" Not to be outdone, Dabai's white hair stood up and he let out a huge, majestic roar.
"Hush!!" A certain female mage and Dingdang's saliva sprayed onto Dabai's face almost at the same time, causing Dabai to retreat several times in disgust. "There is the sound of fighting over the hill." Zhang Yang, who was sitting on the snake's head, spoke in a low voice.
Someone immediately took out the parchment map, unfolded it and looked at it, "Yes, there are eight blue light spots moving near here... They belong to the Yellow Turban Army."
"Ignore them." Murong Fei said, "Let's go around. Hurry up to the teleporting NPC and leave the battlefield."
"...Okay." Someone hesitated for a moment, but did not object and led everyone to continue walking in circles.

The focus turned to the inside of the game company. Since it was the first time to trial the "offensive and defensive war" system, the technicians were conducting intense testing and monitoring throughout the process.
"How's it going?" Professor Cangyun said haha and strode into the busy monitoring room.
"Teacher. It's unexpected. The attacker is about to lose." He Yujie greeted him respectfully and took Professor Cangyun to a big screen. On the big screen, there was a picture that was almost the same as the map in someone's hand, a hilly area.
, a small number of blue light points and scattered red light points are still chasing each other.
"Oh! What? It's been going on for three hours? It's much longer than the expected two hours of fighting?" Cangyun put on his reading glasses and glanced at the data frame in the lower right corner of the big screen.
"Well! There is a small group of remnants of the crusaders who are very tenacious! They are still working hard to get closer to the teleportation point at the back door of the bandit village!" He Yujie pointed at the map that was circling back and forth between the hills.
More than a dozen blue light spots, "The strangest thing is this team, professor, I suspect they used some abnormal intrusion method, and they are still letting the staff check it."
"Oh? How do you say it?" Cangyun pushed up his glasses with interest.
"This group of remnants of the crusaders, fourteen players, has been advancing westward for more than half an hour, and they haven't even encountered an enemy once." He Yujie said doubtfully, "There are obviously many defenders players searching around here.
There are remnants of the crusade, but they happen to escape every time, let’s just talk about it!”
He Yujie drew a circle with her finger on a hilly area, "Near this hill, the defenders circled around to check, and the remnants of the crusaders also hid around the hill. The defender team went
North, they hid to the south, and the defending team went west, so they hid to the east. They waited until the defending team left before they started to move on, and they happened to take a road with no defenders nearby... This
Their luck is too good! It’s as if they can completely understand the layout of the battlefield and control other people’s movements at any time!!”
"Really! So strange?" Professor Cangyun yawned lazily, "What about that? Have any external intrusion programs been detected?"
"No." He Yujie lowered her head in shame, and then asked, "By the way, tutor, where is Professor Charles?"
"Well, he is sleeping. After finally completing the main control system, let's take a good rest." Professor Cangyun answered casually, pushing up his reading glasses and looking at the big screen with interest, which was still going around in circles.
The remnants of the conquering army.
"Ms. Jie! Hello, Professor. I found out where the bug is!" A technician named Xiao Zheng hurried over and greeted politely before saying, "I found an error in the internal program and mistakenly passed the internal monitoring information to a person.
The player's map has now been cut off."
"What? There is such a mistake?!" He Yujie was surprised and immediately followed Xiao Zheng to the monitoring station aside, "Let me see what is going on?"
Only Cangyun was still idly clasping his hands behind his back and looking at the big screen, "Well, not bad, the kids on the defensive side have finally become smarter."
On the map on the big screen, hundreds of defenders who were originally eager to end the battle and were searching for the remnants of the crusade like headless flies seemed to have had an epiphany and began to consciously gather in the same direction...
