There are not many reasons in this world that can make a man work hard to do an impossible thing, and being disrespected in front of the girl he likes is one of them.
Although Zhao Fan did not mention it deliberately, Zhang Dali was able to infer from some details revealed in his words that his intention to clear the heroic difficulty dungeon was mostly to regain face in front of the yogurt pudding and trample the Blood Moon Dynasty on the way.
Ichiban let out a bad breath.
Obviously, he has a lot of affection for yogurt pudding, otherwise he wouldn't be stupid enough to want to break the heroic difficulty dungeon. This is the passion of youth and frivolousness, and it can't help but evoke some of Zhang Dali's emotions.
He thought of Xu Ranran, the girl for whom he was once willing to give everything, and who might still be willing to do so now.
After meeting Xu Ranran last time, he never met Xu Ranran again, and he didn't even have any contact.
He did not take the initiative to contact Xu Ranran, and Xu Ranran did not contact him, which made Zhang Dali deeply disappointed.
He originally thought that the unexpected encounter would always be an introduction and would stir up some waves, but in fact, life was as peaceful and silent as ever, without any waves at all.
It seems that the chance encounter with Xu Ranran was just another tease from God, which made his mood unable to settle down until now, but there has been no follow-up.
When he thought of this, Zhang Dali's mood instantly became very low.
It took more than five hours to clear the secret camp dungeon. Including the previous four hours online, it had been online for more than ten consecutive hours. Zhang Dali, who was feeling tired, was reluctant to stay in the game anymore.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Fan and the others and agreeing to go online in half an hour, he hung up and logged off.
It was almost April, and the weather was getting warmer. After getting out of bed, he no longer felt as cold as before when he got out of bed. Zhang Dali did not go directly to cook, but took the mobile phone from the bedside and walked to the window, opening the curtains.
Look outside.
It was half past nine in the evening. Due to the impending demolition, most of the residents in the community had moved elsewhere. There were not many lights nearby and it looked a bit desolate.
But not far away are high-rise buildings reaching into the sky, most of them brightly lit, showing the style that a city should have.
The index finger of his right hand quickly moved around the phone screen, and Zhang Dali quickly found the name he was thinking about.
He lightly touched the name on the screen, and a number he was already familiar with popped up.
His fingers kept wandering around the screen. After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Dali still didn't have the courage to press the number.
"If I don't contact her, will she contact me?" Zhang Dali asks himself this question several times every day. He is looking forward to it, but has gained nothing so far.
In fact, after experiencing a secret love for a long time, Zhang Dali also knew that waiting may never yield results, and most happiness must be achieved by oneself.
It's just that he has too many concerns, such as the current situation.
A person who can't even support himself easily has any right to strive for happiness. He is not a child playing house and can call his husband and wife's age without shame. Without material things, there is no way to fall in love.
Although loving someone can mean food, rice, oil, salt and simple meals, that is not what Zhang Dali is willing to give.
He wants the person he loves to live a carefree and prosperous life, but he can't give it now.
With a sad smile, Zhang Dali locked the screen of his phone and walked to the kitchen.
After washing the rice with ease, plugging in the rice cooker and turning on the induction cooker to heat up the dishes, Zhang Dali quickly finished preparing his dinner.
Compared to when he was struggling to eat instant noodles before, he could make two side dishes for every meal and now he seemed to be living a better life.
Zhang Dali ate quickly because eating alone was a lonely thing. The longer he ate, the sadder he became.
After eating, Zhang Dali went to bed, but he did not directly enter the game. Instead, he did a hundred push-ups and a hundred sit-ups.
Lying in bed all day long will inevitably degrade your physical strength. Not doing some exercise will be detrimental to your health.
What Zhang Dali fears most now is getting sick, even a small cold. He can't afford to get sick when he is alone.
After finishing his sit-ups, Zhang Dali had just put on his gaming helmet and before he could connect, the phone beside his bed suddenly sent out a text message.
"I guess it's 10086." Except for the 10086 customer service who often sends him traffic reminders and payment reminders, no one has sent messages to Zhang Dali's text box for a long time.
Of course, in his heart he hoped that it was Xu Ranran who sent it to him.
Taking the phone and unlocking the screen, Zhang Dali saw the word "Mom" on the screen.
His mother rarely sends him text messages. She always calls him for everything. He didn't expect to receive text messages from his mother. Zhang Dali was very surprised.
"Are you coming back during the Qingming Festival?" The content of the text message was very concise, but Zhang Dali could feel the affection and expectation from his mother.
"Come back." Zhang Dali replied neatly.
Due to his father's indolence in food and work, Zhang Dali's family has always been maintained by his mother. As a result, his mother was just fifty and already had a head full of white hair.
After graduation, Zhang Dali wanted his mother to stop working so that she could have children and take care of her health. However, he tried many times to persuade her, but her mother refused to listen. She said that he had not yet married a wife, and that all his previous family property had been lost to his father. Now she and his father are divorced.
Even if the money is saved, I have to earn more money for him to marry a wife.
Every time he heard such words, Zhang Dali wanted to cry, and he kept cursing himself for being useless because he couldn't even find a job after graduation.
Zhang Dali was forced to become a professional gamer because he was eager to get rid of his mother's financial support.
The average monthly income is only 3,000 yuan, of which 00, he will remit it to his home regularly every month in order not to worry his mother. The remaining 1,000 yuan is only enough for him to work hard.
alive.
Zhang Dali knew that being a low-end professional gamer like him had no future. He had only over-planned to become a professional gamer, but he did not expect that in today's society, competition is fierce and it is not easy to find a stable job.
The longer a professional gamer works, the more out of touch with society he becomes. Under the cycle of evil, he has been doing what he does now, stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Dali, who was afraid of inquiries from his mother and relatives, did not dare to go home. This year, he went back during the Chinese New Year and has never returned home.
Zhang Dali originally planned to go home on May Day. After all, after divorcing his father, his mother was very lonely. He also wanted to go home more often to accompany his mother, but the current situation made him unable to do so.
Now that his mother has sent a text message, Zhang Dali decided that he must go home during the Qingming Festival.
At any rate, he now has a little money, and the unsold equipment in the storage ring in the game is worth at least tens of thousands, which is enough for him to stand upright in front of his mother with a proud look.
"Hey, please help me, please don't trouble me anymore." I feel that whether he can get rid of his previous weakness in the future depends on "Chaos". Zhang Dali sincerely hopes that his life in "Chaos" can go smoothly.
Let's not have any more weird things like being mysteriously teleported to the order camp.
