Compared to the other boy, Liu Yi's information is much more detailed, especially after she became famous, where she went, where she sketched, who she met, and candid photos of her checking in at different gourmet restaurants.
If it is an ordinary painter, no one will pay so much attention to it after the player process starts, but her paintings can bring inner peace to the players, so many people want to buy her information, and she does so almost every month
After encountering a kidnapping incident, someone also proposed to marry her. She only needed to be the family mascot and draw a picture every year.
The marriage failed because half a month after the condition was proposed, the person involved was assassinated - some players who were mentally dependent on Jiang Jiang had a strange possessive desire for him.
This is not an isolated case. Later, there were cases where players who proposed the same conditions were assassinated and were forced to hide in the dungeon. There were many players surrounding Jiang Jiang on the surface, but there seemed to be even more behind the scenes. They were not tolerated by others.
Control is completely spontaneous and automatic in clearing the obstacles around her - because with Jiang Jiang's identity and ability, it is difficult to reject threats from others, so these suitors are regarded as obstacles and need to be eradicated.
Generally speaking, this kind of behavior is like a large-scale brainwashing cult, but this one is more high-end. There is no need for Jiang Jiang, as a "god", to say anything or imply anything. The believers will be as devout as pilgrims, and even worship in the dark.
Urban rumors about being proud of protecting Jiang Jiang.
"...I don't want to go out today. Let's have beef stew for lunch. I haven't had it for a long time." The protagonist, who was enough to cause a small player storm, was discussing the lunch menu with others, and by the way, he disliked the same food as last time.
Side dishes.
Song Xu, the bodyguard and nanny, took note of everything, "I'll pick out the ingredients myself later."
Bian Yongyi, who had no room to speak for a long time, subconsciously looked at Xu Huo. Even the second generation of rich people did not eat so exaggeratedly.
Xu Huo didn't express anything, and even expressed his desire to drink vegetable soup.
Song Xu stared at him with a dark face for a few seconds, then added vegetable soup to the menu.
Bian Yongyi quietly gave Xu Huo a thumbs up.
After breakfast, Song Xu went out to buy groceries. Before leaving, he specifically told several bodyguards that they must protect Jiang Jiang at all times to prevent people with evil intentions from harming her.
Bian Yongyi felt unprecedented pressure because someone followed him when he went to the bathroom alone.
Xu Huo was invited to Jiang Jiang's studio.
Most of the paintings in the studio were covered with canvas. Jiang Jiang said: "These are all unfinished."
"The number is a bit large. Why don't you finish the paintings? I have no inspiration?" Xu Huo took a rough look and found that there were nearly thirty paintings.
"Once a painting is finished, it will be sold." Jiang Jiang said: "I don't like this."
"No one in Area 009 will give you a hard time, right?"
"But people who come to sell paintings have their own difficulties." Jiang Jiang smiled, "They also have a hard time staying in the game, and many of them have contributed to Area 009, so we can't ignore them completely."
"I can only do such small things... but it's really tiring to draw every day, and some of the paintings are not suitable for others to see."
As she spoke, she uncovered the cloth covering the drawing board in the center of the studio. She was obviously painting this one. There was only a layer of black painted on it, and it could barely be seen as an outline of a person, but nothing else.
"This is my self-portrait." Jiang Jiang reached out and touched the person in the painting. "I put all the good things in the paintings I sold, and I can only keep the bad things to myself."
"Everyone has a dark side."
She turned around and looked at Xu Huo with a smile, "You don't think I'm not worthy of my name, do you?"
"No, I'm not your fan." Xu Huo said calmly: "Besides, I said, I have no appreciation."
Jiang Jiang chuckled softly, "This is the first time I've met people who didn't respond to my paintings. In addition to players, many ordinary people also said that they can see something from the paintings, although I don't know what they can see."
Xu Huo's eyes moved to other covered paintings, "Can these be seen?"
Jiang Jiang shook his head, "You can't look at unfinished paintings."
"How about I draw a picture for you?" she suddenly suggested.
Xu Huo narrowed his eyes, walked to her and stopped her from picking up the paintbrush. He smiled and said, "I saw a strange flower planted in your yard."
"Ah, the purple-red one you mentioned is a wormhole flower." Jiang Jiang put down the brush and walked to the window to open the curtains. "They were given by others. It is said that they are a kind of flower that can show the evolution of game partitions."
For plants, the more red parts, the deeper the evolution of Zone 009, haven’t you seen it?”
"No." Xu Huo's expression remained unchanged, "I'm just a little curious about why it's called a wormhole flower."
Jiang Jiang laughed, "What kind of flower can we call it if not a wormhole flower? It's just a name, and each game zone under a big wormhole point evolves by absorbing the energy of this wormhole point. Wormhole flower
It is very indicative and very convenient. You can tell at a glance what stage of evolution a game partition is in."
"A player once told me a joke. It was said that after one game division learned about the Wormhole Flower, in order to prevent other divisions from knowing its strength, it poisoned a large area of flowering plants, which eventually caused the soil quality to deteriorate.
The groundwater is contaminated and ordinary people in the subdivision are getting sick in large numbers."
"People in an entire game division are so stupid. Whether they can beat it or not, we will find out if others try it, or maybe they can just bring a pot of flowers over."
"It may also be a large-scale poisoning incident." Xu Huo took over, "If a large number of ordinary people die, the foundation for nurturing players will be destroyed. The fewer the number of players, the weaker the power of the division. Players have become
People who are old may leave because of the barrenness and war in their hometown, and those who have just become evolutionaries may not live to grow up because they lack the protection and guidance of their predecessors.”
"In this way, it is only a matter of time before a game partition is destroyed or swallowed up."
Jiang Jiang looked at him and said after a long while: "Is the truth so cruel? I would rather it be a joke."
"It is precisely because of the cruel truth that so many people seek peace of mind in your paintings." Xu Huo smiled at her, "From this point of view, no matter which district you go to, you will be a guest. If you are interested,
Become a player?"
Jiang Jiang laughed, "Zone 009 has tested me a long time ago. My physique is not suitable for becoming a player, and this world is too cruel to players. I would rather be an ordinary person and draw every day."
Xu Huo smiled lightly and said, "This idea is correct."
"You are awesome," Jiang Jiang turned the topic back to him, "Do you like games?"
It will be 2022 soon. Unknowingly, it has been a year since the game was launched. Thank you readers and friends for your support. Take a bow!
A lot of things have happened this year, and they are too numerous to describe in detail. I hope they will leave forever with the last day of 2021. Tomorrow is a brand new day and a brand new year. I wish everyone good health and everything goes well!
