Chapter 221: Encounter (Part 2)
Shui Wuyue: "Know yourself and your opponent, let's continue to play." ”
Red-haired madman: "What I said is that it shouldn't take much time to brush up on a dungeon." ”
風の矢:"どうい。 (Agreed.) )”
Brahma Guest: "Then go on." ”
Liang Liang: "Hmm. ”
Good Happiness: "Good. ”
Just as everyone was gearing up and jumping, a window suddenly popped up on the screen, which read:
Temporary Maintenance Announcement on October X:
Dear players, thank you for your support of Zone of Disillusionment! We plan to carry out temporary server maintenance from 11:00-12:00 noon on October X, and the number of shards in the points gacha (characters, equipment) will be doubled after the maintenance. During the maintenance period, you will not be able to log in to the game, and we will give each person 2000 points as compensation after the maintenance is over, I wish you all a happy game.
20XX/X/X/X
It turned out to be a maintenance announcement, and when I looked at the time, it was just eleven o'clock at noon that day, and in desperation, Zhou Jialiang had to turn off the computer and get off the machine, and when he walked to the front desk and was about to pay, he found that he was penniless.
The person in charge of collecting money at the front desk was a sweet-looking little girl, looking at Zhou Jialiang who was embarrassed and rummaging through his pockets, there was no too much expression on his face, but he faintly pointed to the QR code stand on the table: "If you don't have cash, you can scan this payment." ”
"But I'm ...... I didn't bring my phone. Zhou Jialiang helplessly raised his left wrist and pouted at the bracelet, "Only this, but it doesn't seem to be able to open it." ”
He originally thought that the other party would count down on him, and then stage a drama to let him work to pay for the Internet bill, but he didn't expect the other party's expression to suddenly become overjoyed after seeing the bracelet, as if he had found a rare treasure.
At this moment, the little girl also raised her left hand, wearing the same bracelet as Zhou Jialiang on her wrist.
Zhou Jialiang's eyes widened: "Why do you have ......?" ”
"I'm Miyuki." The little girl then asked, "Are you Liema-kun or Sayama-kun, or ......?" ”
Zhou Jialiang patted his head after hearing this, and smiled: "I'm Zhou Jialiang." ”
"That's great!" The little girl who looked like two people clapped her hands, "I finally met an acquaintance!" ”
"By the way, why are you here? Also started a network manager? Zhou Jialiang asked.
"I don't know, I was walking alone in the fog for a long time, and as soon as I came out, I arrived at the door of this Internet café, and I just happened to meet the boss here who came out of it, and he seemed to know me, and said that he had been looking for me for a long time, and it felt like I was already working here......"
"Did you explain it to him?"
"No...... Because it was too late, he asked me to sit here, answered the phone and went out immediately. ”
Mei Xing also felt a little inexplicable, and then Zhou Jialiang pointed to the computer in front of her: "Then this game ...... How do you get on it? ”
"That's because the boss gave me an account card when he left, saying that it was my stuff and telling me not to lose it again." Speaking of this, Miyuki turned to ask, "Have you encountered anyone else?" ”
Zhou Jialiang shook his head: "No, but even if you meet it, you can't recognize it." ”
"That's right, it's weird, we're completely different when we get here." Miyuki looked at the rows of guests on the computer desk in front of her, looking a little lonely, "Now I only know that Sayama-kun, Kashiwagi-kun, and Rima-kun are in the same city as us, but I don't know how to find them......"
"Well, and I can't even use the bracelet now, and I don't know how to contact them."
Zhou Jialiang tried to fiddle with his bracelet, but there was still no response.
"Then wait until the game is maintained, and we'll contact them through the game." Miyuki looked at the time displayed on the computer, "There are still more than forty minutes." ”
"Well, that's all it takes now......"
Zhou Jialiang's expression was a little hesitant when he said this, and Meixing asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"When the Divine Tree dungeon was on the fourth floor just now, there was a countdown on it."
"yes, I saw that too."
"Could that be a time limit for this layer in practice?" Zhou Jialiang held his chin and thought thoughtfully, "Moreover, when I first entered the game, I received a private message, which mentioned that time was running out, and I don't understand whether this sentence refers to the time until the service is suspended for maintenance, or the time left for us to actually break through the fourth layer......"
"I guess it's just for the suspension." Miyuki thought for a while, "If we don't master the time of clearing the first three layers, it is very likely that we will have to stop the service before we have time to play or halfway through the fourth layer." ”
"What about the countdown to the fourth floor?" Zhou Jialiang was still a little worried, "You know, the first three layers are not there." ”
Just when both of them were in deep thought, a white puppy-like animal in front of the Internet café was staring at them through the glass sliding door, Zhou Jialiang subconsciously looked there and suddenly felt familiar.
As soon as the little guy found out that Zhou Jialiang saw it, he immediately ran away!
"Let's go!"
Zhou Jialiang pulled Meixing and pushed the door open and ran out, following the little white guy scurrying in front of him.
The two finally came to a large area of ruins that had been demolished, and it was known from an abandoned door number that fell on the ground that the place was called "Qingtang".
"Qingtang?" Zhou Jialiang frowned and said to himself, "The cannon often said that he used to be the 'first brother of Qingtang', as well as Shi Zhen, Liema and Baimuquan...... They also spent their childhood in Qingtang...... Is this the place? ”
Miyuki listened and was curious: "It turns out that Cannon-kun used to live here......"
During the conversation, two more figures walked here, looking at the appearance of the dusty servants, Zhou Jialiang thought it was a scavenger who came here, one of them was a dark-skinned, skinny middle-aged and elderly man looking at one of the houses that had not completely collapsed, as if he had a sense of sadness, only to see him bend down, as if rummaging for something below, when he rolled up his sleeves, the bracelet on his wrist was impressive.
Seeing this, Zhou Jialiang hurriedly stepped forward and smiled slightly: "Brother Liema? ”
When the man heard this, he quickly stopped his movements, raised his head, and looked at him suspiciously: "How do you know that I am ......?" ”
"Because I'm Xiao Zhou." Zhou Jialiang lifted his left sleeve and revealed the bracelet, "It seems that your appearance is even more exaggerated." ”
"Ahem, don't mention it, I almost scared myself to death when I looked in the mirror!" Liema glanced at Mei Xing not far away, "Who is she?" ”
"Miss Miyuki.".
"I see, although you two have changed your appearance, at least you are still human, and I am ...... specially"
As soon as he heard this conversation between the two, another slightly decadent strange man also walked up, revealing his bracelet and said, "You may not believe it, but in fact, I am Kashiwa Spring." ”
