Looking at the number that appeared on the mobile phone screen in front of him, Wang Hao's mind came back to that charming and bright face.
This call came half a month earlier than expected.
He didn't know if this was related to his actions in the UK, and he didn't want to think about it.
There are many things that once you make a choice at the very beginning, there is no way back.
Wang Hao pressed the answer button, and it was almost time to end the call.
On the other end of the phone, apart from a gentle nasal sound at the moment the call was connected, there was silence.
For more than ten seconds, they could only hear each other's breathing.
It seems that Wang Hao has a feeling of history repeating itself. He is very familiar with this kind of silence and understands it very well.
I'm afraid the other party is thinking about how to word it better, right?
As for him, should he act hysterically, or should he show a gentlemanly demeanor and face it calmly?
Last time he found the latter, and now... he knew that this weird and embarrassing atmosphere would not last long.
"Hao, let's break up."
The soft voice sounded in his ears, and the corners of Wang Hao's mouth curled up, still making such a straightforward opening statement.
I remember that the last time he heard this sentence, his mind suddenly went blank and he was stunned for several minutes.
It can be called a nightmare memory.
On the other side of the sea, a woman as beautiful as a flower looked at the photo frame on the table in trance. The scene in the photo was once their best memory.
This is all in the past tense.
A flash of determination flashed across Fang Yanxue's beautiful cheeks, and she swept the photo frame into the box she had prepared.
Everything in the box is a testimony of the two of them walking together.
"Well, I hope he can bring you the happiness you want."
Hearing the man's low and slightly sentimental words, Fang Yanxue thought she had already forgotten this man.
But when she heard the man's familiar voice, her heart throbbed involuntarily.
Maybe she is a bad woman. After discovering that the man was not as sad as she thought, her guilt lessened and was replaced by another emotion.
"He is very good, better than you."
Hearing the woman's angry voice, Wang Hao completely let go.
Now Yang Zhe has begun to make a name for himself in China. He deserves to be called a talented and promising young man. He must be highly valued by Fang's father.
Isn't that why I decided to go abroad in the first place?
There was no need to tell the other party these things. Wang Hao shook his head and his voice became softer again. "I wish you happiness."
Thinking of her in the previous world, she often appeared in various magazine news, noble and beautiful, like a goddess, with a forced smile from the corners of her eyes. Is that really happiness?
Wang Hao didn't know, and this was nothing he should worry about.
Calmness returned to the phone call, and he knew that this was Fang Yanxue's revenge on him.
He has no habit of actively hanging up on girls.
Perhaps, we should make an exception today?
He once thought that it would be difficult to say what he said today. It turns out that time can indeed eliminate everything.
"You have known this for a long time, right? Those good brothers of yours have approached me, and it was your instruction. Right? Wang Hao, I hate you."
It's really hard to predict a woman's emotions, even if it's his girlfriend who has been dating for seven or eight years. Wang Hao still can't see clearly what the other person is thinking.
It was obvious that he was the victim, and it took him more than a year to get over that experience in his previous life.
One thing. He was certain that at least the other party never said such words in his last life.
This relationship is completely over. Wang Hao no longer wants to spend his energy on it.
Throwing his phone aside, he started to log in to his account on the One Piece Forum.
As the information in the game is constantly updated, his advantages will be gradually compressed, so it is important to recharge yourself at any time.
Because the system was being updated, people who couldn't log in to the game had to stay in the forum.
The forum is also the most popular at this time.
Wang Hao found a post on the forum, which seemed to be a ranking of the top 100 celebrities in the world.
He was stunned for a while before he remembered this thing.
What is the world's top 100 celebrities list? Many players may not understand this term in later generations, but the other name, wcg personal competitive list, must be familiar with it.
This top 100 celebrity list is the predecessor of the WCG ranking list. The difference is that the former is an audition for players, while the latter is recognized by professional associations.
In layman's terms, one is a private ranking and the other is officially recognized.
With the popularity of One Piece, the status of those who can enter the WCG list has also skyrocketed.
Moreover, Wang Hao discovered that in the British forum, his name was also included in the audition list, and judging from the current voting, the support rate is not low.
However, voting among players is not standardized now, so these things cannot be done realistically.
Wang Hao couldn't remember which update the official gave out a clear election method to select the top 100 best gamers in the world and formulate a ranking based on many conditions such as the number of votes received, personal performance, and reputation.
This is the origin of wcg.
It is also regarded as the clarion call for professional players that spring is coming.
In addition, the most popular posts on the forum are discussions related to the first kill of the instance.
A Ukrainian player came forward to give his own account, revealing the identity of the bounty thief, accusing Wang Hao and others of using cheating props, and calling for official sanctions, which received responses from many people.
In fact, the game officials will naturally ignore these people's fuss.
Some people who really went too far had their forum accounts blocked directly.
After this incident, people from other countries have become much more honest. With the wisdom of the masses, the props Wang Hao once used were quickly revealed.
This is actually not difficult. Many players have seen the arrest warrant in action, but they just don't know its actual function.
"It seems that after the system is updated, many large guilds will be eager to download the game."
Wang Hao slightly thought in a daze, even if he could not get the first place in the world, it would be good to get the first kill in the country. This would be very beneficial to the development of major guilds.
This time the system was updated very quickly, exceeding many players’ expectations.
As someone shouted on the forum, "The server is now open."
The sailors who were still talking wildly immediately turned into birds and dispersed.
After Wang Hao logged into the game, he was immediately shocked by the official company's generosity.
The updated content that appears in front of you is not a piece of cake.
Some minor adjustments were omitted, but the following ones caught Wang Hao's mind:
First of all, the official emphasized that in this upgrade, the AI of the indigenous people has been greatly improved, and it is hoped that players can strengthen their interaction with the indigenous people.
Secondly, the system opens up the maritime arena. Players can engage in 1v1, 3v3, 5v5, and even large-scale team battles there, allowing players to fully enjoy the passion that giant ships and cannons bring to mankind.
Finally, the highlight of this update is the official announcement that a large-scale campaign will be launched after twelve game hours.
The entire event will be divided into three major sections, namely Northern Europe, a large-scale campaign based on the Hundred Years War between England and France;
The Mediterranean is based on the largest Battle of Lepanto in Europe in the 16th century;
In East Asia, the Battle of Myeongryang will be used as the background of the campaign.
The battle will be held in a separate instance space. Players from countries not directly participating can freely choose their camp.
Take players from Britain, France and other countries as an example. As both sides of the battle, British players cannot join the French camp. The same goes for the opposite, but this does not affect players from the two countries participating in other battles.
Of course, there are only a few players who do this.
After seeing the contents of the system announcement clearly, Wang Hao heard cheers coming from near the pier.
Moreover, the surrounding NPCs have also changed significantly. They are no longer like puppets in the past, pointing at the howling players around them, as if they don't understand.
For players who mainly add charm attributes, this is undoubtedly great news.
In the past, although players with high charm values could get some benefits from being in the hands of NPCs, it was not obvious.
But after this upgrade, the subjectivity and authority of NPCs have been greatly enhanced. If someone continues to treat them as puppets like before, they will definitely suffer a big loss.
Although these NPCs cannot covet players' rewards, they can adjust the quality of rewards within their own powers.
For example, the reward for a mission is a weapon. There are three rewards given by the system, two white boards and one green outfit. In the past, players could only try their luck, but now, it depends on the attitude and the mood of the noc.
Wang Hao estimated that many players would not be accustomed to this change in the initial period.
But he also knows that players will eventually accept this change because it makes the game more real and close to life.
The second content of the system update is also in line with the taste of players.
Since large-scale piracy was banned, players have lost a channel to vent their anger.
Although dueling can solve some of the needs, the fees required for application are still too expensive for ordinary players.
The Maritime Arena was born in response to this need.
Here players can freely PK freely, whether it is a one-on-one battle, a group battle, or a team battle with more than a hundred people, you can always find what you like here.
It is foreseeable that the maritime arena will be very popular in the future.
As for the final historical battle that is about to begin, Wang Hao can only lament that this is such a timely rain.
He knows more about the inside story than many players and is fully aware of the risks and opportunities contained therein.
This is great news for him and the newly born Polaroid Company.
For this reason, Wang Hao declined the intention to go to the maritime arena with everyone to join in the fun, and instead came to the dock again.
Today, he wants to spend all the money he has.
Wang Hao is not kidding. He currently has almost 300 gold coins in his hand. Except for leaving a few spares, he plans to spend all the rest on the "Piaoxue".
All this is just to enhance your strength as much as possible before participating in the battle.
Two expanded positions were transformed into gun emplacements, and 30 gold coins were spent. This was just the beginning.
Speaking of which, this enhanced version of the Venetian gunboat was wronged by following Wang Hao. Not only did it fail to exert its due firepower advantage, but it also did not gain an overwhelming advantage in terms of attributes. It was unworthy of being ranked among the second-tier ships.
The reputation of the most powerful battleship.
Each ship has ten opportunities for modification. Wang Hao has never done this before. This is partly due to financial considerations, but more importantly, he feels that his current strength is enough to deal with ordinary problems.
But this time the historical battle is different. He has to face players from all over the world, which forces him to show his strongest state.
After the phone call in the morning, it was impossible to say that he didn't have any thoughts in his mind.
The more this happens, the more he wants to make a name for himself.
And this event is the most suitable stage.
Napoleon, the genius of France, Merlin, the immortal commander of Germany, and geniuses from all over the world all showed their talents in this event and were recognized by the whole world.
At this moment, Wang Hao admitted that his heart was moved.
There were more wrinkles on the old shipwright's face. He directed the apprentices below to knock on the ship without stopping for a moment.
It will obviously take a lot of time to transform the two gun emplacements together.
Wang Hao's eyes wandered randomly around the shipyard, and unexpectedly he actually saw an acquaintance.
A somewhat fat figure was lying on the ship wall cautiously, seemingly polishing the gun port position.
When the man raised his head, Wang Hao couldn't help but reveal a look of astonishment on his face. This fat man was none other than Li Tong, a professional businessman who had stabbed him before.
Although this guy's behavior once made him very unhappy, looking back now, he found it a bit funny.
Once upon a time, I was worried about a few silver coins, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
If the guess is correct, Litong Sifang should be working as an apprentice here.
But like the other party, there are two situations. One is equivalent to working as a temporary worker, helping the shipyard, and getting a meager income.
The other is to want to learn a craft, whether it is to learn shipbuilding skills, or to learn craftsmanship skills by doing nothing, no matter which one you learn, you will not worry about having nowhere to eat after you go out.
These are rare talents, and many far-sighted guilds are actively recruiting them.
But it is not easy to learn these skills. Not only do you need to work for the shipyard for free, but you also have to build a good relationship with the old shipwrights, and you even have to risk working in vain.
Seeing the old shipwright's indifference to Li Tong Sifang, Wang Hao knew that this was a serious matter.
At the same time, he was also curious as to why the other party, who was very financially minded, fell into such a predicament.
Litong Sifang obviously did not recognize Wang Hao. He had seen too many people in the game, so it was impossible to recognize everyone, and the faces of Oriental people all looked similar to him.
After receiving today's wages, he staggered towards the door with his back somewhat staggered.
When Wang Hao saw this, he hesitated for a moment, but finally said nothing.
At this time, the transformation of "Piaoxue" was coming to an end.
Looking at the two additional gun positions above, the smile on Wang Hao's face remained unchanged, and he waved his hand, "Basic attack enhancement."
"Basic speed enhancement."
"Basic durability enhancement."
"..."
After spending a lot of gold coins, Wang Hao vowed to build the "Piao Xue" into a giant sea fortress. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
ps: ps: The 10,000-word update was completed, and the results were even bleaker than expected.
