802 until the day they met

"Accept? Yes, of course! ”

Suddenly opening his eyes, Duan Qing put his gaze on the area near the bottom of the system prompt, and then stretched out his finger and subconsciously pressed it in the blank space where there were no options at all. The result of no reaction then appeared in front of him unexpectedly, accompanied by the text that gradually disappeared from his field of vision, Duan Qing, whose fingers were hovering in the air, was stunned for a long time before he woke up from the world in front of him that slowly returned to a normal appearance: "Sure enough...... Can't you do it? ”

"It's boring."

With a wave of his hand, he swept out of his consciousness the countless chaotic system prompts that still echoed in his mind, and then clicked on one of the icon buttons in his system menu to return to normal before the invisible ripples were about to envelop him. The rumbling deafening sound then echoed over this block representing the center of Zaraha City, but Duan Qing, who had long been out of this world, could no longer hear it, and when he opened his eyes again, he shook his head, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of his game cabin: "It's not very simple to hide from you guys, you only need a downline Dafa...... Hey? ”

"Ning Lan?"

He poked his head, looked back and forth left and right for a long time, and finally retracted his eyes again in the empty reaction, and the basement, which looked a little dark because the lights were not turned on, immediately kept echoing Duan Qing's previous call, and it was only after a long time that the footsteps of him walking on the ground gradually subsided, and he was silent for a while while lying on the door and listening, and finally walked back again in the quiet result: "......"

"Forget it, I'd better solve my own problems first."

The focus of his gaze hovered over a still steaming teapot and a few teacups next to his game cabin, Duan Qing sighed deeply, and then sat down in his seat at the sound of the game cabin door opening again. All kinds of game news and reviews belonging to the free world then gradually unfolded on the screen in front of him under his operation, and there were some prompts in the middle from time to time that were playing the latest information of the League Cup qualifiers, Duan Qing, who had been looking back and forth between those news and live broadcasts for a while, then withdrew his hand helplessly, and let out a deep sigh: "Didn't you just release your pigeons once......"

"Do you need to hold a grudge like that?"

The scrolling strip then flashed through a new piece of news that broadcast a large number of official declarations signed by Freedom Wings, which had been occupied for a week due to the buzz and number of hits. In that news, Freedom Wings announced a series of major changes to their management, including the fact that Freedom Wings' Ice and Snow Goddess Snow Spirit Phantom Ice was flying freely to its own leader, and a formal challenge from an unknown free world player, Mo Shangaoyama.

"I'll beat you."

Although the previous content is roughly different, the last sentence has not changed at all, and the simple and cold wording makes it easy to feel the woman's unchanging determination as always. After reading back and forth on those eye-catching words for a while, Duan Qing finally silently turned off the chilling message, and what gradually appeared in his mind was the figure of the woman who covered her face with a silver mask in the only few meetings he had just met recently: "Chu Lingbing ......"

"You still haven't changed anything after all."

Scratching through the playback screen of the next game that was about to start, Duan Qing turned around and logged into the game again, and then turned around and walked back in the direction he came from in the result that the invisible wave attack had disappeared for a long time. The Imperial Army, which was like the world's policemen, gradually drowned behind him, but they could no longer find the figure they were looking for, Duan Qing, who had passed through a few streets, then ignored the figures of several Imperial guards who were patrolling the streets, and came to the depths of the corner of a certain alley: "I'm back...... How long have you been waiting here? ”

"What do you say?"

Gesturing impatiently at his wrist, the player named Legend of the Flame pointed in the direction where the voice kept coming from the previous battle: "I've been waiting for you to come back since I withdrew, but I'm waiting for you now...... Why don't you go out for a while? ”

"I just went offline and hid for a while." Duan Qing showed an apologetic smile: "The time difference between online and offline is still a little big. ”

"Offline dodge?" The Yangtze River No. 7 on the side also showed a curious smile: "Who can force our invincible Brother Qingshan to go offline?" ”

"I don't know who it is, and I'm not invincible." Closing his eyes slightly, Duan Qing replied slightly indifferently: "No matter how powerful your ability is, it will only provoke more powerful game sanctions in the end." ”

"But I see how you behaved before...... Is there simply no one to stop you? The fat thief hiding in the corner of the underground steps looked at Duan Qing excitedly: "One person forced back an entire imperial team...... Looking at this gaming world, how many people can do it? ”

"There are a lot of people in the game world who can do that, but they don't bother to do it." Duan Qing hurriedly pulled out half-truths and half-truths: "For example, the three brothers of the broken family in the rivers and lakes, as well as the sunset lonely smoke and the angry madman...... If they really want to break the rules of the game, it must be very easy to do. ”

"That's right, that's breaking the rules of the game."

Looking at the disbelieving eyes of the others looking at him, Duan Qing smiled bitterly and pointed to his chest: "The lifespan of a game is only that, no matter how rich it is, it will have its own end, but in today's virtual reality technology is so developed, and the light brain replaces the designer for random calculations, this end is only extended indefinitely, if there are too many 'masters', the depth of the entire game world will be quickly excavated, even if there are many new elements and new enemies of this game at that time...... The lifespan of the free world has been greatly shortened. ”

"So in order to prolong the life of the game as much as possible......" Putting down his hands that were clasped on his chest, Flame Legend widened his eyes in surprise: "None of them want to make a move?" ”

Or ...... Don't dare to make a move. Duan Qing chuckled and shook his head: "In order to punish these high-rise masters, game designers often design many valves that prevent them from going further...... Hehe, your character may not meet any good ends. ”

"Sounds ...... Brother Mo seems to be very aware of this situation. The Yangtze River No. 7, with his hands behind his back, asked with a smile: "Do you often encounter such a situation?" ”

“…… I've just heard about it. Duan Qing replied with a deep groan: "For example, the rumors in the market mentioned that there was a second-generation virtual reality game before, and a certain player who explored the abyss ended up becoming a monster and never came back......

"I've heard that rumor too." Shaking his head, the Flying Man jumped up from the steps he was sitting on: "It is said that the player is also a former professional player, and he has relied on his own skills to break through many levels that no one else has passed, and then ...... There was no more news from him. ”

"Is that what you're talking about?" The Legend of the Flame asked in a low voice, "Turned into a monster in the abyss...... He was 'devoured' by the game world? ”

"According to the rules of the Alliance, virtual reality games are not allowed to use methods similar to mind control to dry out the player's gameplay process, so you can treat all claims like that player being devoured by the game as rumors." Duan Qing, who shook his head, replied in a low voice, "But...... Even if it is not swallowed up by the game system, it can at least be sure that it has been sanctioned by the system, and with the development of the game generation, such a situation is considered to be common, so ......"

"Unless necessary, today's professional players will always choose to hide their strengths?" No. 7 of the Yangtze River on the side spread his hands and said the next words for Duan Qing, and then pointed to the direction that Duan Qing had just come: "Then what happened to you just now?" ”

“…… Now I am in a special situation. ”

The eyebrows were silent for a while, and Duan Qing's voice became as low as night: "You just need to know...... Now I just want to solve the problems in this city as soon as possible, and when the problems here are solved...... Scold. ”

"It's going to be over."

There was a strange light in his eyes, and he looked at the others here with an indifferent face: "You will all know by then." ”

"Hey, if we want to find out then, why are we asking you now?" Yangtze River No. 7 continued to ask helplessly: "What can't we be told about?" ”

"Less nonsense, you guys just follow me honestly." Seeming to be a little annoyed by the other party's continuous questioning, Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "In the end, not a penny of benefits will be lost to you, what are you not satisfied with?" ”

"Okay, okay, you're the employer, you're up to you." With a sigh, the Legend of the Flame turned and led the way towards the darkness below the steps, "What do we need to do next?" ”

“…… Let's go back and meet up with those NPCs. Duan Qing, who was looking at the back, replied in a low voice: "Then...... Let's decide what to do after this mission. ”

“…… We are waiting for you in the tavern. Then the Flying Wizard who followed turned around and said, "Don't make us wait so long, okay?" ”

"Don't worry." Waving his hand towards the Yangtze River No. 7, which was also about to leave, Duan Qing lowered his hands: "My speed has always been fast. ”

"As long as no one is making trouble......"

The increasingly quiet air sank around Duan Qing as several people left, but it didn't prompt the lonely man to leave, and he then stood quietly in place, as if waiting for something. The cold wind passed from above where he had come before, seeping into the darkness below the ancient staircase with an increasingly cold chill, but he seemed to have sensed something strange in this coldness early, and his body, which was originally heading towards the depths of the underground pipe network, gradually turned to the rear: "......"

"You've finally found it."

He raised his head, his gaze continued to extend along the steps, and finally the secret entrance under the light of the night sky with a little light came into his field of vision, and the cold and slender figure gradually lengthened under the light of that light, and finally covered part of the entrance, and the long black hair like a waterfall also drifted in the dome of the curved entrance with the cold wind: "...... Why, are you finally willing to know me? ”

“…… When did you show up? ”

"Just while you're talking about monsters."

Different from Duan Qing's previous impressions, the eyes covered under the silver mask were revealing an incomparably cold light at this time: "I'm a monster now...... That's what you're trying to say, right? ”

“…… Please don't twist my words, I'm not as shameless as you think. Duan Qing sighed and lifted his waist: "They didn't notice your arrival, and I ...... Didn't deliberately mean to refer to anything. ”

"But you abandoned me anyway." The coldness in the woman's voice became stronger and stronger: "Otherwise...... Why are you still hiding in front of me at this point? ”

"If I wanted to hide it deliberately, I wouldn't let you follow the previous energy trajectory to find me so easily." Duan Qing shrugged his shoulders: "And...... I've changed the list of Fools to include my name now. ”

"Oh?"

Even from such a distance, Duan Qing could clearly feel the bright light that suddenly burst out of the woman's eyes: "You...... Finally decided to fight? ”

"Fighting? Whose battle should it be? Please, we're not in a group now, let alone the next game, and even if we do, there's nothing between you and me......"

"There's always a game for us."

Staring at Duan Qing fixedly for a long time, the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, who had been surrounded by the cold aura around him, finally let go of his fist, and then under the slightly surprised gaze of the other party, he turned around and walked back in the direction he came: "Before that...... I'm going to keep winning with my team. ”

"Until the day we meet you on the playing field."
