Suddenly, a light door appeared in the room. Cheng Lin, wearing only a nightgown, stepped out of the door, then walked to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of cold beer.
He opened it with a "pop" sound, held it with his right hand, walked through the warm spring-like guest room, came to the window, and drank slowly.
Even though as a seventh-level person, he was no longer afraid of the cold, Cheng Lin still had to sincerely believe that "heating" was a great invention.
During these few days of rest in the provincial capital, Cheng Lin felt that he had seriously deteriorated.
Because after advancing to the seventh-level realm, one no longer needs to be so strict in cultivation, and the daily practice does not need to be followed as strictly as before. You only need to rest in an environment rich in spiritual energy, such as the spiritual world, and feel as if you are there every moment.
In practice.
Also because of the vacation and boredom, the motivation that had been weighing on him all the time about practicing to become stronger disappeared, so Cheng Lin found himself hopelessly lazy.
It became a daily routine to lie down in the living room of the villa in the spirit world, plug in the game console to the big screen, and play single-player with Elu and the others holding the controller.
In addition, Ellu has become obsessed with cooking recently, and seems to be very talented, so that the problem of eating can be solved in the spirit world, especially the spiritual chives grown at home in the medicine field, which are quite good when cooked.
"Oh, what a rotten life." Cheng Lin sighed, took a sip of beer, turned around, put on his coat, opened the door, and left the hotel.
Today is the last day of the old year, also known as the New Year's Eve. Because there is no such custom, it is impossible to spend it in the spiritual world. As for friends... everyone has gone home to reunite, and Cheng Lin suddenly became a loner.
.
"How are you going to spend New Year's Eve tonight?" As he passed by the front desk of the hotel, Cheng Lin heard the two girls at the front desk muttering.
He muttered silently, thinking that this was really a difficult problem.
The provincial capital is naturally lively. Although there has been an outflow of people from the north in recent years and the population has declined, the effect of a big city has begun to become apparent. At least Cheng Lin felt that there were quite a lot of people, even a little noisy.
A holiday must be a holiday. Cheng Lin hid everything related to Tris and put on a set of street clothes.
He didn't bother to wash his hair, which made him look messy. However, the self-cleaning ability of his seventh-level body kept him from being dirty. He was even cleaner than most people, but he just looked sloppy.
With a face that looked like an unemployed young man/a dead house, Cheng Lin squinted his eyes and went to a nearby noodle shop that was small but had good craftsmanship to eat. Well, it was just garlic.
After finishing eating, he turned around and went to another Haidilao restaurant, where he ate while scrolling through videos and watching game live broadcasts - as his level increased, his appetite for each meal became larger.
After brushing and brushing, the sky outside also darkened. Cheng Lin looked at the time and saw that it was already evening. He paid the bill and walked out of the store under the eager eyes of the waiter.
"call……"
A gust of cold wind hit him, making Cheng Lin sniff.
"Where to go next?" Looking up at this steel forest-like city, the lights on the surface of the high-rise buildings were all lit up, looking colorful.
There were virtual fireworks on the screen on the surface of the building opposite. Not to mention, it looked like that, but there was no sound, which was very embarrassing.
Shaking his head, Cheng Lin stuffed his hands into his down jacket and kept his messy hair down. He walked around randomly and saw a lot of people, but they were all in pairs, which made him upset.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly stopped and saw an Internet cafe on his right.
"Xingxin..." Cheng Lin silently recited the name of the store, then hesitated, turned around and walked over.
Opening the door, the sultry breath suddenly hit my face.
Cheng Lin looked at the environment, nodded slightly, then walked to the bar, took out his ID card, and handed it to the girl at the bar:
"Includes the night."
he said.
The young girl opposite was stunned for a moment, then looked at the time and said, "It's not quite yet... there's still half an hour left..."
"Then we will drive for an extra hour and then book the night." Cheng Lin said nonchalantly.
I swiped my ID and then slowly climbed up to the second floor.
At the end of December, students were busy preparing for exams at this time, and it was cold, so there were not many people in the Internet cafe. Cheng Lin randomly found a seat to sit down and turned on the machine.
After thinking about it, I opened the browser and entered a special address, and a black login window popped up on the page.
Cheng Lin slowly entered a series of extremely complex keys with his fingers, and then a new forum entrance appeared.
This is the forum affiliated to the World Monk Federation, the one that publishes global rankings. Cheng Lin had already asked for an account from the First Division when he was in the capital, and he hasn't bothered to log in these days.
At this time, I went up and brushed slowly for a while. After a long while, I whispered: "It's not interesting..."
The website that had fascinated and intrigued him at the beginning suddenly became boring when he looked at it with his current mentality.
But I did get some information.
For example, the global rankings were updated again, and Shi Shengcun returned to the top of the list, and he moved into third place, second only to Vladimir who was leaning on the wall watching the show from beginning to end.
Bai Ye was also overtaken by him and was behind him. Speaking of Bai Ye... Cheng Lin didn't know what was going on with her. He didn't know whether she had returned to China to develop, joined the Special Division, or was still in New Zealand.
Thinking that he would check it out later in the year, Cheng Lin boredly opened the game list that came with the Internet cafe and clicked on a relatively popular game, which was new and tested his computing power.
Register an account, then read the rules and start ranking, then use your mental arithmetic ability to quickly defeat the enemy, and then start a new round...defeat...start again...defeat again...
In the middle, I asked for a box of instant noodles from the front desk, added ham, and then easily climbed all the way to the top of the rankings. I thought I might as well just spend the New Year's Eve playing games here.
Speaking of which, I seemed to have spent the last New Year’s Eve in an Internet cafe by myself? What is this called? The flowers are similar every year?
When it came to the ace game, he easily defeated his opponent with only a trace of "blood" through mental arithmetic. Cheng Lin glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer and found that it happened to be 23:59.
He smiled, quickly sent "Happy New Year" in the chat box, and then clicked Surrender. When a big "Failure" icon appeared on the computer screen, the time jumped to zero.
With his extraordinary senses, he heard the sound of a bell coming from somewhere in the distance.
"Dong...dong..."
New Year is here.
At this moment, his mobile phone on the table suddenly vibrated. Cheng Lin picked it up and looked at the caller number. It was Liang Jing.
"Hello? Happy New Year." Cheng Lin answered the call and said with a smile.
Opposite me, Liang Jing also responded happily, and then said: "The work here has stabilized. I would like to ask, when can you come over?"
"Is something wrong?"
“What the headquarters means is that we want to take advantage of the year before to launch another projection,” Liang Jing said.
Cheng Lin's eyes lit up and his tiredness disappeared. He finally realized what he had been waiting for these past few days: "You can do it anytime. How do you feel about today?"
"Ah?" Liang Jing was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect his new boss to be so resolute, "This... I have to wait until you come to Beijing... should I book a flight now?"
Air ticket?
Cheng Lin raised the corners of his lips and smiled lazily: "That's no need. I'll go there by myself. Okay, hang up."
Without giving Liang Jing a chance to react, Cheng Lin pressed the phone, immediately turned off the game, yawned, and quickly disappeared. With the ability to "liquefy", he appeared in the melted water droplets of the outdoor air conditioner of the Internet cafe, and then appeared in
On top of the building.
Then, with a touch of his right hand, the He Jian appeared.
"I've wanted to play like this for a long time." With a murmur, Cheng Lin snapped his fingers, and his figure wielding his sword turned into a stream of light, streaking across the sky above the city and speeding away towards the south, where the capital city was.
…
Half a minute later.
When the girl at the front desk walked up to the second floor holding the cooked instant noodles, she saw only an empty seat.
"Where are the people?" She was stunned for a moment, confused.
