Chapter 14: Love is a Light
"Hey, how's it going, is this Everfree Tower fun?"
As soon as Wang Meng logged out of the game and took off his infiltration helmet, the voice of his roommate Yang Biao came to his ears.
"Well, as a fully immersive game, the experience is still very good." Wang Meng responded and climbed out of bed.
"Going to dinner?" Yang Biao proposed.
"Let's go, I happen to be hungry too, and I still have a class on "Principles of Operating Systems" in the afternoon! Eat early, and when you come back, you can play online for a while. Wang Meng nodded and began to pack his things.
On the way to the school cafeteria, Wang Meng and Yang Biao continued to chat about the game.
"How do you think "Evertower" compares to "Myth Descent"?" Yang Biao asked.
"Myth Fall" is a virtual reality visual immersion game, players through the control of the controller and game warehouse to enter the game, Wang Meng and Yang Biao were once the most famous tasks on the "Myth Fall" leaderboard, and also made a small profit through this game.
In order to play "Mythology" for the convenience of playing, the two of them even rented an apartment outside the school.
It's just that later, because the game warehouse was cracked, the gold mining studio invaded on a large scale, and the game ecology was destroyed, including Wang Meng and Yang Biao, a large number of players withdrew from the game, and "Myth Descends" also stepped down from the altar.
"That must be much more powerful than "Myth Descends"!" Wang Meng recalled the game experience just now.
"Neural sensing is completely in! That kind of experience...... How to describe it, it's like crossing over! Those flowers and plants, NPCs, it's just like the real thing! ”
Yang Biao was a little moved by what Wang Meng said, sighed lightly and said: Hey, it's a pity that she didn't let me play the game, saying that I wouldn't reply to her as soon as I played the game......"
"Didong ......"
Before Yang Biao finished speaking, he heard his mobile phone ring, and hurriedly took it out of his pocket to look.
Wang Meng stopped, ready to wait for Yang Biao to finish the news and continue walking.
Don't ask, it must be that "she" who is right.
Yang Biao has a girlfriend in a long-distance relationship who goes to college in another city, and the two have known each other since high school, and it has been 5 or 6 years now.
On weekdays, Yang Biao almost always keeps his mobile phone in his hand, always waiting for the message from his girlfriend, so that he can reply as soon as possible.
"Ah Biao, what's wrong?" Wang Meng saw Yang Biao standing in place with his mobile phone for a long time without speaking, and asked.
"Brother Meng...... I ......" Yang Biao's voice was full of tears, and he handed the phone to Wang Meng.
The mobile phone shows a particularly concerned dynamic, a petite and cute girl and a tall and handsome boy on the selfie, the two hug each other, and the gesture is intimate.
This girl Wang Meng has seen it, it is Yang Biao's girlfriend, and this boy is a little self-evident......
The screen flashes and a line of prompts appears on it.
The activity you viewed does not exist, please refresh or return. 】
Obviously, when this news was released just now, I forgot to block Yang Biao.
"I ......" Yang Biao's body trembled slightly, he had always been calm and introverted, and it was inevitable that he couldn't control his inner emotions at this moment.
"Let's go, let's not go to the cafeteria, let's go to the backstreet for a drink!"
Wang Meng patted Yang Biao on the shoulder, and the two turned around and walked towards the small restaurant in the back street of the school.
In the small restaurant, it is now the hotel, and groups of three or five gather together to drink nonsense, and it is very noisy.
Wang Meng casually ordered a few commonly eaten dishes, went to the refrigerator to get a few bottles of beer, and put them on the table.
"Click...... Hiss...... Gurgling ......"
Yang Biao took the beer on the table and pried open the lid, and drank it directly.
"There is no grass at the end of the world, come with me to play "Endless Tower"!"
"Let me tell you, I have met a lot of girls in the game, there are quiet and cute little priests, there are wild and tsundere little assassins, if you don't like humans, I'll introduce you to a slime, it's good-looking!"
"How about it, let's continue to write a wave of legends that spanned "Myth Descending" back then, what TM love is not love, can there be games to play?"
At this time, in fact, it doesn't make much sense to persuade anything, Wang Meng remembers that there is a "white bear theory" in psychology, which is to divert attention to put it bluntly.
After a bottle of beer, Yang Biao seemed to be a lot more sober, slapped the table, and shouted.
"That's right! What TM love is not love, Lao Tzu is fed up! ”
……
……
After having a drink with Yang Biao in a small restaurant, the two naturally didn't have the energy to go to class anymore, so they found a reason to ask for leave, and the two went back to the dormitory to sleep directly after drinking.
When Wang Meng was woken up by the mobile phone, he found that it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon.
What woke Wang Meng up was the phone call of the courier delivery man, and it was the arrival of the infiltration helmet of "Endless Tower".
Yang Biao was still sleeping soundly on the side, and Wang Meng didn't wake him up, after all, this kind of drunken sleep has an excellent "healing effect".
went downstairs to get the helmet back, Wang Meng left a message for Yang Biao with his mobile phone, preparing to go online to play for a while, and then take him to do the previous task when Yang Biao was online.
Returning to bed, putting on a helmet and entering the game, Wang Meng found that the game time happened to be in the afternoon.
Relying on the rapid activity of neural sensing, the time flow rate in the game of "Endless Tower" is almost 4 times that of outside the game, and it was close to midnight when Wang Meng went offline, and now it should be the afternoon of the next day.
The first thing to do when you go online is, of course, to go to the Adventurer's Guild and return the entrusted quest.
It was still the graceful professional skirt NPC who received Wang Meng, and after Wang Meng threw the demon head on the counter, the NPC was suddenly frightened.
In the end, it was the person in charge of the Leydington City Adventurers Association who stepped forward and settled the reward for the task for Wang Meng.
A total of 1 gold, 500px XP, and an Adventurer Badge upgrade.
Wang Meng took the money and pouted, turned around and walked out of the Adventurers Association.
"This place of cheating fathers, the master will never come again in the future!"
I don't know when Yang Biao will be launched, Wang Meng didn't accept those tasks that required him to go out of the city to hunt monsters. Instead, he wandered around the city of Lydington aimlessly, trying to see if there were any side quests, or hidden quests to do.
After all, now the main quest players are gathered together, and going out to do hunting tasks is not efficient, time-consuming and laborious.
"That...... Hello, I'm a new player, please ask, where is the guide of the mage's profession? ”
Wang Meng was wandering aimlessly on the street, when a soft-sounding voice came into Wang Meng's ears.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Wang Meng found that there was an extremely short and cute little Lori standing in front of him wearing a new mage suit.
Wang Meng thought to himself, this little Lori is the type that Yang Biao likes!
With a move in his heart, Wang Meng opened his mouth and said:
"Go straight along the main road, turn left when you see the Bear Tavern, and then walk forward for a distance, the Wizard's Sanctuary is there, go in and ask the NPC to know where the career guide is!"
"Okay, thank you so much!"
Little Lori bowed to Wang Meng to express her gratitude, turned around and prepared to go in the direction Wang Meng had guided.
"Wait......" Seeing that little Lori turned to leave, Wang Meng opened his mouth and shouted.
When Xiao Lori heard Wang Meng call herself, she was stunned, turned around and looked at Wang Meng suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "Still ...... What else is going on? ”
Wang Meng tried his best to make the smile on his face look natural, walked up to Xiao Lori, and stretched out his right hand.
"Give money, it's not in vain to ask for directions."
"Novice characters, each spawn 99 initial copper coins, and it will cost you 30 gold coins to register for the profession in a while."
"So, give me the other 60 as travel expenses!"
