"Zhao Xu, this is the New Year, the family is so busy, you still go out?"

At this time, Zhao's mother was preparing for tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, watching Zhao Xu just brush his teeth and wash his face before preparing to go out.

Even on this rare holiday, she couldn't help but mutter, "I usually indulge in games at home every day, and it's not easy to see you during the New Year, and now I'm going to leave again." ”

"Mom, isn't Dad going out today? Don't worry, I'm a classmate, and I'll be back soon tonight. Zhao Xu said.

At this time, Zhao's mother looked at Zhao Xu and couldn't help but shake her head, "He went to that company today to give people a year-end bonus, can it be the same?" ”

It's just that as soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Xu had already gently closed the security door of her house, and after a few seconds, she pressed the elevator door and headed towards the first floor.

To be honest, Zhao Xu himself didn't really want to go out.

It's just that this time I happened to meet his high school friend who came back from abroad, and last night because he had been in the game, the other party called him four or five times in a row.

Later, when Zhao Xu finished taking a bath, he realized what was going on.

Half an hour later, after taking the subway, Zhao Xu arrived at a restaurant specializing in morning tea.

With the arrival of the New Year, many shops opened by outsiders on the roadside have already closed the iron gates at this time, and after posting the notice of next year's return to the city, they will return home directly.

And Zhao Xu, because of the reason why a big family came to settle down, naturally lost the childhood memory of "returning to his hometown" and "babbling" on the railroad tracks on the train.

However, on this Chinese New Year's Eve, the wave of returning to the hometown has long passed, and there are still shops on the street, and most of the merchants who want to do this wave of peak business in the new year.

The tea house where Zhao Xu went to the appointment this time, because of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, also continued to open morning tea at this time.

"Hey, Brother Xu."

Suddenly, an exclamation resounded throughout the hall of the restaurant, and the other tables of guests enjoying morning tea glanced at the noisy side, then turned around and did not pay attention again.

In a hurry, the city is often so indifferent and indifferent to get along.

Zhao Xu also relied on this exclamation at this time, and immediately located several of his high school friends, and walked straight through a few round tables.

"Xu Shao, long time no see." At this time, Zhao Xu's classmate Liu Feng came directly over and put his arm on his shoulder.

"Hmm." Zhao Xu carried a hint of nostalgia, "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"I'll go, your eyes will make me think you have bad intentions towards me." Liu Feng couldn't help laughing, and after sitting down, he handed over the menu, "Come on, let's order the wave first, you can see the supplement." ”

Zhao Xu naturally didn't explain much.

In Liu Feng's eyes, they only met during the winter vacation last year.

But in Zhao Xu's memories, the last time they met was a chance encounter in a tavern five years ago.

At that time, Liu Feng himself was full of spirits, although he entered the game late, but his excellent ability made him quickly become popular.

Soon he married a local aristocratic woman in Arthury, and with his career as a priest, he became a powerful member of the local community.

even directly organized and recruited a team of well-known adventurers.

And at that time, Zhao Xu, who met again in the rivers and lakes, was only a few years away from the death of his family, and at the same time, the 'Demon Sealing Campaign' in the entire northern land was only reaching its peak.

Zhao Xu, who was full of vicissitudes of life at that time, met the high-spirited Liu Feng again, and the two high school friends of the same age seemed to be five years apart.

Zhao Xu glanced at the refreshments such as "honey chicken feet", "steamed pork ribs", and "barbecued pork buns" on the menu, then checked the "barbecued pork rice rolls" and handed it to the waiter waiting on the side, and said in a harmonious voice: "It's okay, thank you." ”

At this time, the transparent glass basin that was open also turned to his eyes, and Zhao Xu directly unpacked the tableware in front of him and put it in turn to burn it.

"Liu Feng" who sat next to him was in high school and later took the AP international class to study abroad, while the other two same friends Hong Qiwei and Hou Tiansheng were admitted to the university step by step like Zhao Xu.

Hong Qiwei and Zhao Xu are also in the same university town, so after crossing Arthur, they are quite close to each other because of geographical relations.

Although Arthur is the last harbor after the destruction of the earth, there is no doubt that the vast majority of people are basically bound by their towns all their lives after they have no convenient means of transportation, and never leave.

In the process of adventure travel, Zhao Xu and other adventurers can still travel south and north, see the customs and customs of various places, and reluctantly get together with friends on the earth again.

"Brother Xu, I'm really sorry, I delayed coming back for too long this time. Replace wine with tea, and toast you first. ”

After everyone clinked glasses together, Liu Feng did not feel uncomfortable in the whole process, and directly started chatting, and did not focus on his own study abroad experience, but just had some fun on the Internet, which suddenly set off the atmosphere of the table.

Zhao Xu looked at Liu Feng and was very emotional.

Whether it is on Earth or Arthur, it is often people like Liu Feng who can get acquainted with anyone, and even "otaku" like him and Hong Qiwei, if there is no Liu Feng in tandem, they are too lazy to come to this kind of class reunion.

"Brother Xu, have you played 'Arthur'?" Suddenly, his friend Hou Tiansheng asked, he and Hong Qiwei are both game fans, and even some of Zhao Xu's games were brought into the pit by them.

It's just that when he went to college, without this kind of atmosphere, Zhao Xu began to play less and slowly retreated.

"I've just played a little bit, but I'm not very good at it." Zhao Xu said with a slightly "shy" smile.

He didn't make the slightest intention to pretend, or think about how to steer the topic in this direction.

At this moment, it seems that he is really an outsider, and not the current Arthur player first.

"Then you hurry up, I look at this game, it will definitely be a hit in the second half of the year and become the first game." Hou Tiansheng said, "I re-registered three numbers for this game, and only then did I understand some basic links, and now I rely on gold, and I don't have to spend my family's money to go out with my girlfriend every month." ”

After Zhao Xu listened, he smiled silently.

In the previous life, countless people beat their chests, and the moment they exchanged the game gold coins for RMB by taking advantage of the popularity of Arthur's game, they were extremely complacent.

It was only after a few months that I crossed over that I realized that all I got in exchange was a mirror and a moon, and I lost the opportunity to play the game.

"It's obviously a monkey, you betrayed our FFF group, you can see the wealth." Hong Qiwei was worried about his stomach, grabbed a basket of barbecued pork refreshments that had been prepared and delivered, and said while eating: "All the money I earned in the game was put into weapons and equipment, and I don't know how nourishing it is." "First Literary Network

"I really don't know why you players with sisters are tired every day."

Hou Tiansheng suddenly turned his face, "Heh, the fun of adults, how can you understand this dead fat house." Arthur's game blocks all 18X functions, in reality you can still vent yourself to the little butter, and you can still go to heaven in the game? ”

Hong Qiwei, who suddenly insisted that the three dimensions were heretical, argued again.

And Zhao Xu silently picked up the teapot and filled it for a few people, in fact, among the people present in the previous life, the fattest math bully Hong Qiwei had the highest level.

The wife he married in his previous life, Zhao Xu has also seen it, and she is completely the demeanor of everyone's ladies.

It can only be said that this wave of crossing has ushered in a day when many otaku who are addicted to games have ushered in a turning point in their lives. Like Zhao Xu, who barely got into the car, has not been left behind.

"I heard you guys, Arthur's game feels pretty good. However, it hasn't been opened abroad yet.,I'm definitely going to die or live when I play the national server now.。 Liu Feng sighed.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu came to his senses.

In the previous life, the foreign service was opened in the semi-annual period and the September period.

If it is really according to Antinoya, it will be crossed eight months after the start of the service, it will probably be in June and July.

For these players in the national server, the shortening of 12 months to 8 months may not be so obvious.

However, for foreign server players, it has been shortened from 6 months to 2 months, which is not even time to complete the training for some professions.

Even the issue of the ninth week of the month was directly gone.

In his previous life, Liu Feng was born into Arthur by Hou Tiansheng in such a teahouse breakfast.

Now, with the crucial four-month game cycle missing, can he still seize the opportunity to marry a beautiful woman and rise like he did in his previous life?

"Monkey, sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter, if you think this game has great potential and can have a life cycle of several years, shouldn't you invest gold coins to strengthen yourself now? If you are so strong, as long as you can catch the first echelon, you can also make money. ”

Zhao Xu said to Hou Tiansheng.

At this time, the other party was slightly stunned, because in his eyes, Zhao Xu had never been interested in games, and even if he played, he would accompany them into the pit, which was equivalent to finding a common hobby.

"Oh, then I'll get back and pay attention." Hou Tiansheng didn't know why, anyway, he felt that when he saw Zhao Xu this time, the other party was both strange and familiar, and his words seemed to be a little more convincing.

"As for Liu Feng, hey, forget it, I'll act for you when you go back, you use that accelerator, you should be able to play the national costume abroad." Zhao Xu said

"Hey, Xu Shao, didn't you play much before?" Liu Feng couldn't help but look surprised, and almost thought that Zhao Xu in front of him was pretending.

"Because, I saw something different in this game." Zhao Xu said with a confident look at this time.

And Liu Feng also looked solemn and nodded.

"Fatty, you see that Brother Xu is so rigid, he has been pulled into the pit by this game, it seems that Arthur is indeed very fierce." Hou Tiansheng couldn't help but say in an ambiguous tone at this time, "Brother Xu, you shouldn't be obsessed with the characters in the game." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the poster outside.

At this time, on the mobile communication building outside, the huge poster depicted a woman in silver armor with blonde hair and a resolute expression, she brandished a sharp blade and looked straight ahead.

"Like this silver-armored knight?"

Suddenly, Hong Qiwei was stuffing a mouthful of glutinous rice chicken, and directly retorted, "Get out, Ms. Vivian belongs to our players, and you don't allow you to blaspheme her in the third dimension." ”

"Vivien?" Zhao Xu didn't react a little.

How come other people know each other?

Didn't Vivien just come to him from May's men?

"You don't know? At first glance, it is the 'gossip area' of the forum. Since this batch of game posters was pasted some time ago, Vivian's popularity has immediately rushed to the first place. ”

"According to the official, these characters are real NPCs in the game, so the forums are guessing which city this 'Vivian' is in, and the threshold will definitely be stepped on by then."

"But how do you know her name is Vivien?" Zhao Xu was a little stunned.

At this time, his eyes also looked out the window, as if they were looking into Vivien's eyes on the poster.

"Brother Xu, the game official has basic information." Hong Qiwei said, "Brother Xu, you know our goddess, right?" ”

"Well, she's right under me." Zhao Xu nodded.

"Haha, Brother Xu, I give you full marks for this joke." On the contrary, Hou Tiansheng couldn't help laughing, but there was no meaning of ridicule.

For these sworn friends, this is a kind of brag and joke.

"Jingle bells."

Suddenly, Zhao Xu's mobile phone rang, looking at his mother's home network number.

Without saying a word, he just held it up and answered.

"Zhao Xu, where are you messing with flowers, a beautiful girl came to the house to look for you."

"Who?" Zhao Xu thought that when he went to school, he was a game dormitory, so how could he have time.

"She introduced herself, her name is Antinoya, this is a friend you met online? Do you also use network IDs to talk in reality after XX? ”

At this time, Zhao Xu's face almost stiffened.

"Mom, you treat her well first, and I'll go back soon."

"Hey, Zhao Xu, your battle shouldn't have made people's stomachs bigger, I can tell you, if you can do this kind of thing at a young age, I, I-"
