[Taoli, the new version has been updated, and you will get more than 20 draws when it goes online, why don’t you go back to the trap? 】
In the dim room, the light from the monitor reflected on Taoli's face, making her look sickly pale.
His eyes moved in the chat box. The person who sent the message was a netizen nicknamed "Wish Machine". He had been on good terms with the other party for more than two years and played many games together. Tao Li tapped the keyboard with his fingertips. Strings of characters appear on the screen rapidly.
[Based on my experience as a chief in Africa, more than 20 crickets are of little use to me]
Taoli, as her name suggests, is handsome. Her father’s surname is Tao and her mother’s surname is Li. It’s as simple as that. It’s not an online name. The two of them travel on business in Africa all the year round. It’s normal for them to have no news for ten days and a half, leaving only Tao Li is alone in China. Fortunately, a dozen or so apartments were demolished in her hometown, so she can barely make ends meet by collecting rent, living a "sleeping" life.
After a while, the words 'The other party is typing.' disappeared in the chat box.
[Don’t you miss them? Don’t you miss the characters in your game account? They miss you very much.]
Taoli in front of the computer rolled her eyes and continued typing, muttering: "How do you know whether they miss me or not?"
[Wake up, what are they? They are just dots, codes, and data. Living hard is more important]
[What about real people, proteins, calcium, carbon atoms? You are the least qualified to say this. Don’t think I don’t know what you do at home all day long, but then again, the important thing is the heart, isn’t it? ?]
"Hiss~" Seeing the other party replying such a long message in the blink of an eye, Taoli took a deep breath and made a small contribution to global warming.
[Don’t make fun of me with Keima Katsuragi’s famous sayings, I’ll update them again, and they’ll be online soon]
Watching the download progress bar supported by gigabit broadband advancing rapidly, Taoli took her hands off the keyboard and mouse and took a sip of happy water.
[By the way, is your personalized signature real? 】
‘Personalized signature?’ The message that popped up in the chat box made Tao Li stunned for a moment. She really didn’t think about it. She clicked on the profile panel and saw what it was: “I’m so bored, I really want to go to a different world~”
This signature was written a long, long time ago when I was in the second grade of secondary school. I can’t remember exactly how many years ago it was.
After looking at the game that had been downloaded and resources were being integrated, Taoli replied superficially:
[It’s true, it’s true. After all, I’ve visited almost all the tourist attractions in recent years. The earth is really boring]
【Okay, I'll wait for you.】
[Yeah, I'll be online soon, wait a moment]
Taoli entered her account and clicked to log in. Familiar music sounded in her ears until she clicked on the door to start the game.
Buzz~
The sound effects of today's game are particularly lifelike to my ears, and the white light emitting from the screen seems to be completely swallowing up the peach and plum.
By the time the buffering interface of the game ended, Taoli, who was sitting in front of the monitor, had disappeared.
"giao! What the hell!"
The hall in front of me looks like some entertainment venue. It is dark all around, but in the center, there is something similar to a slot machine. The machine has three screens and a lever on the right. The figure on the first display looks vaguely familiar. The other two screens have nothing.
The surrounding scene looked weird. Tao Li lowered his figure downwards and looked around cautiously.
"Hey brother, it's me, relax."
Taoli's body stiffened. Isn't this neutral voice that was neither male nor female the same as the "wishing machine" that she used to talk to on the phone?
However, this sound was made by the extremely weird machine in front of me, no matter how weird it looked.
"A wishing machine?" Taoli looked at the weird machine.
"It's me, Sister Tao." The machine seemed very happy.
"I must not have woken up yet." Taoli reached out and rubbed her temples, "First of all, let's say that I'm not interested in another world. For the sake of us being friends, send me back."
"What are you thinking about, Taoli, didn't you promise me?" The machine made the voice of a former friend, which was simply too weird.
"I promise you, I promise." Recalling the last few messages in the chat box, Tao Li became less and less confident the more she talked about it.
"You are cheating! I obviously meant to play games with you!" Taoli feigned anger and moved forward, rolling up her sleeves and about to push down the weird machine.
"Don't, don't, don't! Brothers and sisters, you have something to say! Sister Tao, Sister Tao! Big brother, big brother! Ugh~" The machine that was being swayed back and forth by Tao Li couldn't bear it anymore and quickly begged for mercy.
After this fuss, the uneasiness in Taoli's heart was suppressed a lot. No matter what happened to the wishing machine, at least the other party did not pose any real danger now, and it was still as funny as before.
"Ugh~" The wishing machine took a breath and said earnestly: "We have known each other for thirty months, so why do we need to use force as soon as we get along?"
"Ha~" Tao Li crossed her arms and sneered, "I don't know which bad guy brought me in."
"Ahem~" The wishing machine cleared its throat, "Let's get back to the subject, as you can see, I am a wishing machine, a machine that can really help you realize your wishes~"
"Oh," Taoli said calmly, "My wish is to send me back."
"Hey~ you listen to me first!" Xu Wan said urgently: "The wish you made can no longer be revoked. I have promised to send you to another world, and I will definitely send you there! But! Tao Li, see me
Are the remaining two screens on the screen?”
Taoli narrowed her eyes. On the first screen on the left of the three screens of the wishing machine, the person in the photo had black hair and a smile on his face. If he looked carefully, he saw that it was Taoli himself. The other two screens were empty.
"When people's wishes are too strong, I will be attracted to them, but three wishes need to be collected to take effect." The wishing machine said: "I was attracted to you before, but your wish will become stronger.
It will be dim for a while, and even salted fish cannot be as good as you!
If there weren't many people in Teyvat who have a strong desire to see you, I wouldn't have come to see you. You must cherish this rare meeting~"
"Well?" Tao Li looked Xu Yuankun up and down, looking at Xiao Heizi, "You still have three wishes, why do you have everything to do with 'three'? You are a trinity Trisolaran, right? Honestly, are you?
Sent here by the Trisolarans?"
"Are you relaxed?" came the humble voice of the wishing machine, "In general, the first wish belongs to you, the second one belongs to those old friends in your game account, and the third one belongs to someone
The wishes of people from another world. And I fulfilled your first wish. Correspondingly, you need to help me fulfill their wishes."
"What good do I get?" Taoli asked.
"Please, it's you who made the wish to travel to another world!"
"I don't want to go now."
"no!"
"Then just give me some golden fingers and make them invincible."
"Isn't it enough for you to travel with your friends in the game? Don't you believe in their strength?"
"Okay, okay, then you have to ensure that we don't die. Even if we can't fulfill our wish, it doesn't matter."
"Then you have to do your best to fulfill other people's wishes."
"You mean you can guarantee that we won't die?"
"Alas~" the wishing machine sighed, "Don't worry, it won't happen. Just treat it as a trip."
"I still want to go back."
"Taoli you!"
"Just kidding, you've dragged me here, do I still have room to refuse?" Taoli spread her hands, "What should I do?"
"If you see the lever on the right, pull it down. On the second screen, the person who will accompany you to another world will appear."
"Then let's get started." Taoli took a deep breath, put his hand on the lever, thinking about the powerful characters in the game, and then pulled hard!
Wow~
The pictures on the screen flashed quickly, and familiar figures appeared one after another until the picture stopped on a petite and slender figure.
The petite girl has short silver hair, emerald green eyes, wears a heavy skirt made of armor and thick velvet, and has a shy smile on her pretty face.
"Noelle!" Taoli's heart was slightly relieved, and it was obvious that the girl's strength made him feel reassured.
"Oh, it's her," the wishing machine said: "This little girl is very shy. Her wish is to meet you, but I told her that this wish does not count. She thought about it and changed it to 'become a real person'.
knight'."
"Huh? Going to another world to become a knight?" Taoli had a headache.
"Go on, there are still wishes for people from another world~" the wishing machine reminded.
"Huh~" Taoli pulled down the lever again. This time, the figures that appeared on the third screen were not very familiar. Slowly, the screen stopped at a person wearing a helmet and armor, whose appearance was invisible.
Looking at the red tassel on the helmet, Taoli felt that it seemed familiar.
"This is"
"Oh! It's him," the wishing machine said in surprise: "His wish is"
"Huh?" The pause of the wishing machine made Tao Li very unhappy.
