Chapter 37: Smoke in the Ruins

Because last night was Friday, I followed Liu Ronghua and his group to play until midnight at night, just to raise the character level to full level as soon as possible. This situation also reminded him of the situation when he was in college, playing games with Liu Ronghua and Zhou Xiaoyu in the computer room all night.

At 3 o'clock in the night, Liu Ronghua was still unsatisfied, and Sun Yimin was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, so he had to sleep first.

One night, my mind was full of game content, and I had some bizarre dreams. In his dream, he seems to have seen the goddess Wuxin in the game, and her appearance is a combination of the game's avatar and his imaginary reality.

He woke up at about 5 a.m., still sleepy in bed, closing his eyes and trying to fall asleep again, but his mind was full of thoughts that made him unable to calm down, and he gave up after tossing and turning.

When you get dressed and get up, the living room is slightly bright, and the light comes from the refraction of the external office building and street lights. The door of the master bedroom was closed, and Liu Ronghua was still asleep. Sun Yimin had no way of knowing what time he fell asleep, probably not long ago, he thought.

He didn't bother to wash up, and sat down on the sofa alone, immersed in the loneliness of the early morning.

At this point, he thought of the virtual world in online games. He was thinking: At this time, the game world should be lonely and sparsely populated. If this is the case, it should be good to take a break inside at this time and experience the feeling of walking alone in heaven and earth.

After making up his mind, he went back to his room, turned on the computer, started the game, and logged in to the "Yanyu Ren Pingsheng" server in Telecom Area 8. He set the camera to first-person mode again.

Where to go? He opened the world map, browsed for a moment, and found a map area that he never seemed to set foot in level 20 - "Xiangxi Bamboo Sea".

Find the station, teleport. In the blink of an eye, I was in a bamboo forest, a circular clearing (just a safe area), and I looked around at the endless sea of bamboo.

In the early morning, the forest is filled with mist, and all kinds of insects and birds are singing.

At this time, King Xiang was in a deserted, desolate and silent place, and in the lonely wandering, Sun Yimin experienced a kind of freedom from the world.

He chose a random direction and walked straight ahead aimlessly. Out of the archetypal clearing, the font color of the name "Xiangxi Zuhai" in the upper right corner of the map changed from green to red. This is a hint that it is out of the safe zone.

Stepping through the forest meadows, rows of luxuriant and towering bamboos swept past him. He took the halberd from his back and cast a skill at random, only to see that where the blade passed, clusters of huge bamboo branches fell down, causing birds and bamboo leaves in the forest to flutter in the air.

After the bamboo branches fall to the ground, they gradually submerge among the grass and quickly decay and disappear. And when I walked away and looked back inadvertently, I was surprised to find that the original bamboo branches were erected there, as if nothing had happened, like a dream.

Before I knew it, I had crossed the border of the bamboo forest, and a ruined village loomed in the distance in the mist, and dark blue cooking smoke rose from the gray morning mist.

Curious, Sun Yimin gradually approached the village and looked around at the empty neighborhood.

Listening carefully, there was a sound of arrows cutting through the air in the distance, and following the sound, I found that in the wild grass in the wilderness in the distance, a female "phantom bow" was constantly shooting arrows in all directions at the moment.

With a whistling roar, the beasts not far away fell to the ground in response, letting out painful whimpers.

Curious, Sun Yimin gradually approached her and carefully looked at her appearance.

I saw that the woman was long and graceful. The blue and white metal armor parts covered her chest and waist down, but showed off her proud bust and perfect figure just right.

Forearms and knees are covered with bladed wrist and knee pads, and shoulder guards protrude diagonally from the back to the sides, like a pair of metal wings, radiating a fantastical brilliance.

She held a huge longbow in her hand, and although the bow was almost two-thirds her height, it was used with great ease in her hands, without the slightest effort or disobedience. It was as if the Great Bow was an integral part of her body.

The bow body is carved with a dragon and a phoenix, and the two ends are inlaid with blue pearls, scattering a ghostly light outward. The purple smoke that swirled through the body meant that the weapon had reached the pinnacle of forging level.

Metal armor, fair-skinned

The G body, and the exquisite weapons and equipment, are shining in the morning light at this moment. Under the cover of the mist, in such an uninhabited wilderness, she looked like an exotic elf from the world of ancient mythology, exuding wild and demonic charm.

Sun Yimin couldn't help but be intoxicated by the picture in front of him.

Pull the lens and look at her appearance up close, she is like a fairy in the world, her silver-white hair is tied into a bun at will and coiled on her head, her face is delicate and fair, and her facial features are delicate and charming.

The name of the levitation above the head is: "Smoke in the ruins". This name has a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu in Sun Yimin's opinion. Another line above her name indicates that she belongs to the gang: "Senluo Tang" [hall master].

Sun Yimin right-clicked on the opponent's avatar to bring up the character attribute page, and when he saw the combat power, he was 332,000! You must know that players with a combat power of more than 100,000 are already at the gold level, and most RMB players such as Liu Ronghua and others have a combat power of less than 300,000.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that the day before yesterday, he was bored to watch the game character rankings, and the first place in the Phantom Bow professional combat power ranking was none other than her - "Smoke in the Ruins".

What puzzled him was: What did such a level 70 god-level female player do early in the morning in this level 20 map area and slaughter those low-level beasts and monsters?

The woman seemed to notice the approach of this outsider, and suddenly turned around and aimed the strange longbow at Sun Yimin's character, King Xiang.

He was stunned, thinking about how to deal with it, but saw the other party talking on a nearby channel: "What do you see, don't you know this great god Yiyi?" ”

"Are you still young at 70?" Sun Yimin asked rhetorically, with a smiling emoji.

"Haven't you seen an immortal elf?" He was relieved that the other party's words were friendly. Previously, he was worried about whether he would die today like the last time he encountered a ghost in the wild.

"What are you doing in the wilderness early in the morning, a girl's house?" Sun Yimin asked curiously.

"I can't sleep, come out and relax."

"As it happens, so do I." Although Sun Yimin is telling the truth, the familiar lines blurted out seem a bit clichΓ© to him.

She replied with a smiling emoji. Don't speak.

Sun Yimin added: "This place is very good, I like the feeling of wandering alone in this wilderness." ”

"Well, I used to come a lot." Dependency and.

Sun Yimin asked: "What are you shooting these monsters for, can you increase your experience points or burst out of what superlative?" ”

"I'm really playing a piece of equipment, and for me, it's really superb." Yiyidao.

"What's the best?" Sun Yimin became more and more puzzled.

"The armor of the level 20 phantom bow class."

"What do you want it to do, don't you wear level 70 best equipment." Sun Yimin asked.

"Don't do anything, it's good-looking." After Yiyi answered simply, he continued to shoot the prey around him.

"What's the use of looking good? You changed to level 20, isn't your combat power greatly reduced? The more Sun Yimin thought about it, the more confused he became, and he couldn't help but ask again.

"I see you're almost at the top level, why do you talk like a novice?" Yiyi's tone was slightly contemptuous.

"I'm a newbie, I haven't really played before." Sun confessed truthfully.

"Yes, King Xiang has a dream... It's an interesting name. ”

"What's interesting?"

"I remember that there is another person in your gang called Goddess Wuxin, the name of the two of you is not an online game couple?" Yiyi asked.

"Hehe, not really. I just came to play this game, and I joined my buddy's gang, and I happened to see that the name of the goddess was very good, so I chose one for myself in her way. ”

"Your name is a fair and dual one, but it's just ...... The implication is not very good. Yiyi said.

"How?" Sun asked curiously.

"You know it literally. You are the king of Xiang, and you have a dream to get the goddess, but the goddess doesn't mean that. What she likes is not King Xiang. Speaking of which, there is another allusion in this, which is the origin of the phrase King Xiang has a dream, but the goddess has no heart...... As far as I know, this comes from a history with mythological overtones

Tale. The protagonist is Emperor Yan's Ji Nu Yaoji turned into a goddess in Wushan after her death, and later met King Chu Huai, and had a romantic affair. Later, King Xiang imitated his father, but was politely rejected by the goddess. Yiyi retold the allusion that Sun Yimin saw last time in Baidu Encyclopedia in his own words, and it seems that it is by no means vassally elegant, but real

Culture. This made Sun Yimin have an unusual impression of the girl in his heart. It's just that what she said seems to be right, this name seems to indicate that she has no relationship with the goddess? Whatever, I don't know what this goddess looks like anyway, and I don't want to pursue any goddess.

He boasted: "Yes, you are really literate. ”

Yiyi said, "It's level 68 just now?" Liar. ”

"Uh...... This number was given by Brother Chun, and I just changed my name. It was originally called 'Rubbing Steamed Buns'"

"Oh...... So you're a friend of Brother Chun? Yiyi asked.

"That's right," Mr. Sun.

"It seems that it is a new novice, and it seems to be ignorant." Yiyi said.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Because you don't even know the fashion conversion function......" Yiyi blurted out as she continued to shoot arrows.

"I really don't know, why don't you popularize science?" Sun Yimin laughed.

"Fashion is a special piece of equipment sold in the Marketplace. This thing has a specific appearance that can be worn on top of the original equipment on the body, overriding the visual effect of the original character's equipment. ”

"I know this," Sun Yimin once understood this function, but then asked: "So what is the fashion transformation?" ”

"I'm wearing level 70 armor right now, but don't you think this outfit is ugly? In fact, some low-level equipment has a more beautiful appearance, and I especially like which armor I wore at level 20. But the problem is that, as you just said, if you change to low-level equipment, you will reduce your combat power. Game development

In order to solve this contradiction, the fashion conversion function has been introduced, which allows you to convert a certain piece of armor into a fashion, and retain the original appearance of the equipment after the transformation. ”

After a few words, Sun Yimin understood her original intention of coming here.

Yiyi continued: "But do you know what, this level 20 armor is really hard to find. I searched all over Chang'an, and I couldn't buy a single one. So I had to come out and brush it myself, but I've been brushing here for days, and I can't even see a green quality one, I hate it......"

Sun Yimin pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered that a while ago, when he was desperately doing tasks in order to upgrade to the full level, he once did a small task on the level 20 map "Yandang Mountain" to fight monsters, and often dropped level 20 green clothes, and there were a lot of them in the bag, and then because no one wanted them, they were directly dealt with by NPC merchants.

Thinking of this, he suggested that she change places to brush. Yiyi agreed, and formed a team to pull Sun Yimin in. He took her to her destination.

It was already dawn outside, Sun Yimin went to wash up, and then went downstairs to buy breakfast.

After breakfast, I returned to the game, but I found that I received two unread messages, and when I opened it, it was Yiyi.

The first is: "I really got it, thank you." Attached is an item attribute link text "Mandrill Light Armor".

Article 2: "I'm in Chang'an, come and see if my new fashion looks good." ”

Sun Yimin found her according to her teammates' location on the map. Seeing that she had really changed her dress at this moment, the new costume belonged to simple entry-level equipment, and the shape was relatively primitive, looking like a combination of animal skin and iron parts, wrapping the important parts of the body. Although it is a bit simple, it reveals the white and plump body

Exhaustive.

"Good-looking, wild and charming." Sun Yimin echoed, "It's just...... This animal skin outfit, is it too low-key for you, the goddess? ”

"Haha, that's what you want." Yiyidao.

"It's hard to buy a good heart! Congratulations, you got your wish. "Sun Dao.

"Thank you!" Yiyi said. At this time, a dialog box for a friend application popped up in the center of Sun Yimin's screen, and he clicked to confirm. And she became friends in the game.

This is another friend he has met in the game, and he is also a female god, which makes him feel good early in the morning.

Sun Yimin looked at her wild character image for a long time, opened her character attribute panel, and saw that sure enough, there was no change in combat power.

It was only at this time that he noticed that in Yiyi's "spouse" attribute, "Wind Demon Feather" was prominently displayed, and the name was familiar.

Sun Yimin opened the game ranking list only to find that this Wind Demon Feather turned out to be the top of the Ice Fighting Professional Combat Power Rankings. It also belongs to Sen Luo Tang. It seems that this Senluo Hall is really full of talents.
