"Zhang Ning, what's the matter with you? Didn't I tell you earlier that we would start the main mission on the parchment tonight? Why haven't you come online yet? Hurry up. Everyone is waiting for you." It's eight o'clock in the evening.
Just after ten o'clock, Shen Zhu's phone call came.
Zhang Ning deliberately pretended to be sick and spoke into the microphone: "I'm sorry, director, I'm feeling a little unwell right now and I'm not in good condition. I'm afraid I won't be able to play the game tonight."
"It doesn't matter. Come up quickly. If you can't defeat the monsters, you can just gain some experience. I'm telling you, you can't miss such a large main mission. Your level is already low."
"It's no use. I tried it just now and the system prompted that my various physical functions did not meet the minimum standards and I could not log in to the game." Zhang Ning continued to lie.
"How could this happen? What's going on?" Shenzhu asked anxiously.
"I don't know. I just feel weak and weak. Maybe I caught a cold because the air conditioner in the car was turned on too low just now."
Shen Zhu said dissatisfied: "You really don't make people feel reassured. How about I tell Mr. Zhou that the task is postponed, and I can go over to see you and take you to the hospital."
Zhang Ning hurriedly declined: "Thank you, director, for your concern, but no, I'm preparing to take a taxi to the hospital right now. It's probably not a big deal. You guys are busy with your work. Don't wait for me on that mission. The battlefield will start tomorrow. First
We must not lose in this battlefield. After completing this mission, we estimate that we should be able to obtain a lot of high-end equipment, which will increase our chances of winning. We must not affect the collective because of me alone."
Just kidding, if Shenzhu comes over, wouldn't he be able to help with everything?
"Didn't you drive your car back today to invite people out for a drink and end up getting drunk?" Shen Zhu's murderous voice came from the other end of the phone.
"No, how can I? I can still tell what is serious and what is serious. I am really not in good shape today." Zhang Ning said and pretended to cough twice.
"Okay, you go to the hospital first. If you need anything, just call me. I'll go online and tell you. Mr. Zhou and his gang are still waiting," Shen Zhu said.
"Okay, thank you, director, and everyone for your concern. Goodbye!" Zhang Ning hurriedly hung up the phone after saying that. If he continued talking, he would probably be in trouble.
Just as we hung up the phone, the ringing rang again. This time it was Mingxue. My dear, I had forgotten about this aunt. In the morning, I told her that we would meet at the professional union after entering the game in the evening.
As soon as Zhang Ning connected, Ming Xue's murderous voice came from the receiver: "Zhang Ning, it's so shameful that you dare to let me go. Come and die immediately."
Zhang Ning hurriedly apologized and explained the curse and swore. After coaxing her for a while, she finally coaxed Mingxue to hang up the phone.
"You guys have to be together, together, together..." As soon as I hung up, before I could put my phone down, the ringtone started ringing again.
Zhang Ning was immediately in pain. This matter is not over yet. It seems that sometimes being popular is not a good thing. Just making a fuss can cause people to panic.
This time the call came from a stop-and-go call, and Zhang Ning didn't dare not answer it.
"Brother, I heard that you are sick. Why are you still on the phone? Does it matter? Have you gone to the hospital? Do you want me to drive over and pick you up now? Or I will go to whichever hospital you are in right now."
"No, you and your sister can do the mission. You can't handle such a large mission without me. I just called a taxi to call for a taxi. Don't worry, it shouldn't be a big problem. Go to the hospital and get a shot tomorrow morning to make sure you're fine.
"
"Then be careful yourself."
"Well, hang up. I think the taxi will be here soon. I'm going downstairs, 88."
"I wish my brother a speedy recovery."
"Thank you for your good advice, I hope everything will be fine tomorrow morning."
…
After hanging up the phone for the third time, the world finally became quiet.
For more than a month, I have been used to entering the game on time at eight o'clock every night. Today, I suddenly have no time. I am really not used to it. I sit in the room and stare at the wall in a daze, watching the time pass by second by second. It is really boring. .Coupled with being worried about what happened in the game, I felt really uneasy, and my days suddenly felt like years.
It lasted until nine o'clock like this. Zhang Ning couldn't stay any longer. He simply went out and found a barbecue stall on the street outside, ordered a few skewers, and ordered a bottle of beer to eat and drink.
There was something on his mind, nothing he ate tasted good, and the grilled chicken wings that usually make him drool when he looked at them always tasted bad. Zhang Ning sighed, drank the rest of the beer in one go, and paid the bill aimlessly. wandering in the street.
It lasted until 12 o'clock at midnight. Zhang Ning estimated that by this time, they were halfway through their mission back to Shenzhu. Even if they saw that they were online, they could not get in, so they walked home under the midnight street lights.
With a flash of white light, Zhang Ning appeared in Yanggu Town. His first reaction after going online was to quickly call up the character attribute panel to see if his appearance had changed. After confirming that his appearance had not changed yet, Zhang Ning finally relaxed. One breath.
The small icon on the message bar kept flashing, and countless messages popped up in an instant. Zhang Ning opened it and checked them one by one. They were all sent by friends in the game who were concerned about his condition. He had no intention of replying and hurriedly repaired his equipment. I went back and forth to the warehouse and pharmacy to stuff the package with various high-end supplies, and then summoned the little yellow horse to leave the city.
Before Shenzhu and the others complete their mission and release the Rise of Demons version online, they must leave Yanggu Town, a place of right and wrong, otherwise they won't be able to leave until their identities are revealed and they want to leave.
After leaving the city, the first place Zhang Ning thought of was the Yuren Tribe in the northern wasteland. The Yuren Tribe was relatively far away from Yanggu Town. There were basically no players in the Yuren Tribe within a radius of dozens of miles. Moreover, the Yuren Tribe He does not hate the demons, and even if his identity is recognized by NPCs when he settles down there, he will not be driven away or hunted down.
The little yellow horse ran all the way, and it took more than three hours to finally arrive at the town of the Yuren tribe. At this time, Shenzhu and the others had not yet completed their mission, and Zhang Ning still entered the city as a human being.
Zhang Ning walked around the city and took on a few small tasks. Almost no one had been to this place, so it was relatively easy to find tasks. However, there were no large tasks in the remote areas, and the rewards were very stingy.
Several missions are all about killing monsters. Even though the monster resources in the entire northern wasteland are relatively scarce, there are still a lot of monsters and monsters in some areas near the Feathered Tribe. Now Zhang Ning is the only one here to level up, so the monster resources are completely sufficient.
Zhang Ning is fighting a kind of sandworm that looks very similar to a poisonous scorpion. Killing these sandworms has a chance to obtain sandworm eggs. Sandworm eggs are a task item required for one of the tasks.
Suddenly, a system ringtone echoed over the server——
"Ding~!"
System announcement: Players Yunmeng, Xinyuehu, Shenzhu, Stop and Go, Wuliang, and future masters have completed the main mission [Remnants of the Demons]. The demon forces lurking in every corner of the continent have officially launched a full-scale war against the human camp. Game version It is automatically updated to [Rise of the Demons], and the new version of the game information has been released on the official website at the same time. Please go to the official website to learn more.
The system announcement was still echoing over the server, and Zhang Ning received another system prompt message.
"Ding~!"
System prompt: Dear player, due to the game version update, your race information has been changed from "Demon (Hidden)" to "Demon".
Zhang Ning immediately called up the character attribute panel, and sure enough he found that the two words "hidden" behind his race had been automatically removed, and the character's appearance had also changed. His current appearance had obvious demonic characteristics.
Zhang Ning had been mentally prepared for the revelation of his racial identity in advance, and was not surprised at this time. The only thing he was worried about was that his previous promise to take Mingxue to level up might not be fulfilled. If he looks like this in the human camp,
If you appear on your territory, you will definitely be immediately attacked by NPCs and players.
"Zhang Ning, when did you get online?" Shen Zhu sent a private message.
"It's been several hours. You just realized it now. I went online after coming back from the hospital less than one o'clock." Zhang Ning replied.
"Are you okay now?" Shenzhu asked with concern.
"Then it must be okay. If something really happens, how can I get online now?"
"Okay, it's okay. During the mission, I got two pieces of level 45 light armor, one blue and one purple. I'll keep them both for you. Come and get them now," Shen Zhu said.
Zhang Ning immediately recovered: "Director, I'm sorry, I took on a task after going online, and I can't leave now. Let's wait until we go online in the evening."
"That's fine. It's my first PVP tonight, so don't give me any more problems."
Zhang Ning thought: Can I say that something has gone wrong? If I participate now, I can only represent the demon clan, and I will no longer be able to fight side by side with you.
…
That night, when they entered the game, the group at Chunfeng Pavilion still couldn't wait for Zhang Ning to show up, and Zhou Mengyun's invitation to team up remotely did not receive a response.
"You kid, what's going on? You haven't seen anyone for a long time, and you ignored the invitation to team up. Do you not want to hang out anymore?" Zhou Mengyun sent a murderous message.
"Brother, what's going on? Everyone is worried about you." Zai Zai was just worried as always.
"You kid, you always let me off the hook at critical moments. Let's see how I deal with you after work tomorrow." Shenzhu was completely disappointed with Zhang Ning.
In addition, other members of Chunfengting Studio and several familiar friends of the same boat also sent messages to inquire. Zhang Ning chose to ignore all of this, and had already thought of excuses in advance: the mission accidentally fell into a closed map,
You can't go out until the mission is completed. I sent a message to tell you about this in advance. Didn't you receive it?
They'd be damned if they could say they received it.
At this time, you can say: Probably, maybe, maybe, the system does not allow contact with the outside world. I don’t know the specifics.
