Chapter 45: The smoke rises from the river and the mountains to the north
"I've upgraded, Xiaoyu, I've finally upgraded!"
There is only one hour left before the end of the closed beta test. The game time for Zhang Miao and Big Cousin is up, and they have already been offline. Du Shiyu and Xia Miaomiao finally reached the full level before the server is closed.
Xia Miaomiao happily hugged Du Shiyu and jumped up and down, she was so excited that she forgot everything she did.
"Quick, quick, go back and log off, be careful of data loss."
"Ah, there are 2 minutes left."
The two of them ran to the camp in a hurry. On the way, they saw that most of the players had gone offline. A few scattered players were still gritting their teeth and seizing the last time to spawn monsters. The camp was empty, and it was the NPC's off-duty time. The two of them went to birth.
I clicked it, breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed.
After logging off with peace of mind and waking up on the bed in the rental house, Du Shiyu first looked at the time, which was four o'clock in the afternoon.
She yawned and went to wash up. When she passed Xia Miaomiao's room, she knocked on the door, but there was no response.
"Slacker!"
Du Shiyu muttered and went to the bathroom, cleaned briefly, returned to the room, fell on the bed, and fell asleep quickly.
I slept until dark and figured the game had been shut down, so I turned on my computer and looked at the official website.
Sure enough, the announcement of the end of the first test has been sent out, and the pre-sale page of the helmet also shows "The qualifications for the second test are being drawn...".
It was nothing to do with her, so she didn't care much. She glanced at the forum, and saw that they were all nervous, making wishes, and placing candles... The title of the most popular post was very scary:
[Shocked, a new account logged in on the last day, a shady deal? 】
Du Shiyu curled her lips, touched Kong's suffocating stomach, and stood up to order a takeaway.
"Miaomiao, do you want to have dinner?"
"I want to eat barbecue!"
"Barbecuing is so expensive for you!"
"You've made so much money, but you're still so stingy...and the beer, please keep it cold."
"I can't eat you to death!"
I ordered takeout, and there were a lot of messages waiting to be verified on WeChat. I clicked on them and saw that most of them were solicited by a certain game company or game studio.
"Xiaoyu, come here quickly."
"what?"
"come over!"
The best friend's room was in a mess, with smelly socks, dirty clothes, and even underwear thrown around. Du Shiyu slapped her nose in disgust and walked to Xia Miaomiao's computer.
"Look, the forum has exploded!"
"Ah, what's going on?"
"Someone posted a picture about shady dealings, and a new account logged in today."
"……boring."
The forum did crash. After refreshing, it was all garbled. After refreshing again, it finally became normal, but it was still stuck. After struggling to click on one, it turned out to be an angry cloud player "greeting" the game's official parents and relatives...
"Wow, it's on the hot search."
Xia Miaomiao didn't mind seeing the excitement and quickly opened a web page.
"Look, even other game forums have fallen."
"...as for that?"
Du Shiyu couldn't understand it.
"Think about it, what would happen if you paid the money and thought about it day and night hoping that you would win, and suddenly it was revealed that you were operating behind the scenes?"
Du Shiyu thought seriously, "But I have a helmet."
The best friend rolled his eyes, it was really hard to talk to someone with such low emotional intelligence.
Du Shiyu lost interest after looking at it for a while, "I'm going to boil water for a bath, what about you?"
"I'll wash it after you wash it."
Du Shiyu was about to leave, but she thought of someone in the game, pushed her best friend and said, "That older cousin is interested in you, what do you think?"
"What are you thinking about? It's just a game."
"Really?" Du Shiyu didn't believe it. She spoke like her best friend holding her voice in the game, "Oh, it's so disgusting, so scary... Why don't you stop being afraid when people go offline, green tea!"
"What's wrong with green tea? I'm happy with green tea." The best friend was not ashamed but proud. He proudly puffed up his chest and said, "I am a naturally beautiful girl. He has the vision to take a liking to me..."
Du Shiyu looked at the doghouse-like room and retreated in defeat.
At the same time, Zhang Miao and her eldest cousin also met.
The two have known each other for a long time and have played several games together, but this is the first time they have met offline.
Zhang Miao knew that the other party was fat, but he still didn't expect him to be so tall and fat.
"The waiter?"
"Fuck!"
"Haha...why are you as skinny as a monkey?"
"To each other, each other, I thought there was a wall in front of me, and I was thinking of a detour. Who knew it was you."
"Ha ha……"
Between the two of you, you slap me and I punch you. When we first met, it felt like we had known each other for a long time.
The eldest cousin is 1.9 meters tall. He is fat but very strong. Walking with him, Zhang Miao looks like a little bean sprout.
The two entered the restaurant, sat down in the corner, ordered a table of dishes, and started chatting.
After talking about the game for a long time, my eldest cousin smiled and said, "Do you know what happened to Mr. Wang?"
"What's wrong, I almost forgot about this person."
"This guy is unlucky. Every time he enters the game, he dies. All kinds of accidents, accidents, haha... The boss who invested in him withdrew his capital, and the few who hang out with him avoid him. It's a good studio.
, it has become obsolete before it even opens, do you think it’s funny or not?”
"Accident!?"
"He fell to death, was beaten to death by monsters, was struck to death by lightning... various ways of death, I guess his luck value was negative, haha... He called me yesterday, drunk, and yelled at the game official..."
"What the hell did this guy do?"
"I didn't do anything. You know how to operate normally."
"Then the game officials are too stingy, right?"
"So, our game ID is a hidden danger... Oh, it's sad to say it."
"I heard that you can change your name in the second test, and you can also flatter yourself?"
“The official website didn’t say anything, we’re just guessing.”
"Grass!"
The two drank a glass of wine and ate a few bites of food before getting down to business.
"How about it? Have you thought about it?"
"Hangcheng?"
"Quasi first-tier city, big company, high-end apartment. Ruoran and Xiaosha are also going, as well as Erniu, Lao Xie and the others. I heard that more than 30 players are staying there. How exciting is it to think about?"
Zhang Miao was also moved by reason. Since he agreed to join the job, it didn't seem good to hold off, so he nodded hesitantly.
"Okay, all the brothers have gathered together and let's have a big fight together!"
Zhang Miao grinned widely and had a drink with him.
"This day is like a dream..."
The eldest cousin finished it in one gulp and let out a long sigh.
"Yes, to tell you the truth, I haven't paid the rent for next month yet."
"Me too, I came from a rural area. My family was poor and I had enough to eat. After graduating from high school, I moved bricks on a construction site. Fortunately for you, at least you are a college student."
"College students are nothing. 985 is about the same. Those from second-rate universities like me are not as popular as you."
"Tell me, what would we do in the future if we didn't have this game?"
"What should I do!?" Zhang Miao got drunk and thought about it seriously, "Probably... lie down, I don't have much ability, and I can't endure hardships. I may live until the age of 30, and I can find someone as arranged by my parents.
I don’t know how many women get married and live like this for the rest of their lives.”
"It's different now, brother, do it well!" The eldest cousin almost knocked Zhang Miao to the ground with a slap.
Zhang Miao giggled, "Well, do it well."
"When the smoke rises, look north from the river...", the eldest cousin was drunk and sang like a ghost.
"The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighs, the sword energy is like frost..." Zhang Miao did the same, slapping the table and yelling.
