The Chinese New Year is the most solemn of the traditional Chinese festivals, and when we walk on the streets, we clearly feel the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival. We looked up, every shop was decorated with red and green, and above the street, there were countless streamers, and under the ribbons, there were countless jubilant people, all of whom were wearing festive clothes and carrying bags of shopping bags in their hands, shuttling through one store after another.

We were all very excited about such a prosperous and lively scene, and Liu Zi held my hand and pulled me to squeeze in the crowd. Her interest was very high, and she had to go in almost every store and search for a lot of things, whether she needed them or not, whether she wanted them to buy them or not, and she had to dig them up and cut prices back and forth with the shopkeepers. Liu Zi also paid a very low price, so many things could not be traded, but after walking to a dozen stores, I would always buy low prices, just like a fool, I went to many stores with her, and as a result, I had a lot of "cheap" goods that we didn't use.

Liu Zi is very considerate, she will often help me carry things, but every time I go to a store, she will push things into my hands, and then they will be submerged in the shelves, and when we come out, I have a few more things in my hands. Then, Liu Zi pulled me into another house.

"Ahh Dragons, there are clay pinchers there! "Liu Zi had just come out of a shop, and as soon as she looked up, she saw a small stall with clay figures, and immediately called out, and pulled me towards it.

"Girl, do you want to pinch the clay figurine?" The clay kneader kneaded a ball of mud into a lifelike Zhu Bajie, handed it to a child, and when he looked up, he saw Liu Zi looking at his work with great interest, and hurriedly greeted.

"Master, pinch me a hundred-year good match." Liu Zi pointed at the two of us and said softly. I was yawning at the moment, just looking at the crowd coming and going, and I was in the mood to pay attention to what Liu Zi was doing.

The craftsmanship of the master mason is very good, and soon the two clay figures that are close together will be pinched, I didn't look carefully at who the clay figure was pinching, and paid, and Liu Zi, but holding the clay figure, went happily.

"Dragon, look at how well this clay figure is pinched." After Liu Zi got the clay figurine, he didn't drill into the store anymore, but couldn't put it down and played with the clay figurine in his hand, and after playing for a long time, he sent the clay figurine to my eyes and let me see it.

I took a cursory look at the clay figure, and was about to say some kind words to send her, but I didn't expect to see the face of the clay figure, and I was attracted, and the expression on my face became astonished, the two villains who kissed the mouth, a man and a woman, the woman was exactly the same as Liu Zi, and the male one was like me. Looking at this clay figure, I couldn't help but admire the extraordinary craftsmanship of the clay figure, he was able to pinch the two of us out in a short time.

Looking at the pair of clay figures, my face slowly sank, and I looked at Liu Zi fixedly, without saying a word. The joy on Liu Zi's face slowly subsided under my gaze, and the hand holding the clay figure trembled slightly.

"This clay figure is very well pinched, and the master is really a good craft." Looking at Liu Zi's frightened little white rabbit's expression, I couldn't help but sigh. It's just a clay figure, it doesn't mean anything, so why be angry with a clay man? Seeing Liu Zi still standing there at a loss, I patted her head and smiled, "Silly girl, what are you doing in a daze?" Let's go! ”

Liu Zi's face immediately became cheerful, lively like a little swallow, holding a clay figure, pulling me, and rushing into a store.

It was very late, we came back, and this time, we bought a lot of things, which I threw into Liuzi's house and ran to the Internet, while Liuzi, who went into the kitchen and was tinkering with dinner.

In the news on the Internet, the most talked about the game "Taimeng", most of the articles are about guessing what kind of changes will be made to the game "Taimeng" this time, I took a look, but there is nothing worth noting. In addition, I also found that there are also some articles that say that because the game "Taimeng" stopped running this week, a large number of players poured into other games, which made Xu You's game company smile. At this time, I thought of the game "Rampant World" that I used to play, so after entering the account, checking the iris and fingerprints, I entered "Rampant World".

There are a lot of players in "Rampant World", I looked at the empty skin, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was sold so fiercely that there was nothing left. I tried to call the dragon to travel the world, but I didn't expect that he was also there, we agreed on a place, I immediately teleported over, and ran to the agreed place.

"Dragon! How well did you mix in the game "Taimeng"! "When Long Xingtian saw me, he asked me first.

"Don't mention it, I'm there, I can't achieve anything, and I can't do anything well, but you, in the new game, must have made a lot of money." I said dejectedly.

"I'm not going there, I'm in a new game, this name has been preemptively registered, so many old acquaintances can't find me, I'm now in the "Taimeng" game, the name is Buying and Selling the World, Dragon, if you have something to sell, you can find me, I'm in the 146 area of the furious battle city." Long Xingtian enthusiastically told me his name.

"Huh! Who made your name so famous in "Rampant World"? Mine is different, not many people know it at all, so I can still use my original name. I jokingly said.

While we were talking, we only heard the system say: "Players, please note that in order to celebrate the New Year with all players, this game will take 4 times the explosion rate during the New Year, from February 15, 2026 to March 3, 2026, for a period of 17 days. ”

"Dragon, how's it going, are you interested?" Long Xingtian smiled at me and asked me.

"I think there's a lot of news like this, and all game companies are desperately trying to attract players during the week when LX updates the game, trying to snatch players from the game Taimon. But I believe that the updated "Taimeng" will be more attractive to players, so I won't get into this muddy water. To be honest, I'm not used to this game right now, and I don't always get into it like I did in Taimu, and I think you've got some of that. I shook my head and said.

"It's a shame that you don't join in, although this game is much worse, but as long as you can make money, it doesn't matter." It's a pity to pay the dragon in the world, it seems that I have let go of a large amount of wealth that has been in hand, and I understand that maybe the dragon can take this opportunity to make money, but my chance of making money is very low, this is first of all my equipment is gone, if you continue to play this game, then, you have to buy a new set. The explosion rate has increased now, but it's still very low, and I can't necessarily get valuable equipment. Secondly, I estimate that this game will only be good for a week, and once the game "Taimeng" is updated, then, a lot of players will flee this game, and at that time, the equipment that has been hit will become worthless.

After saying goodbye to the world, I also quit the game and walked out, but I saw that Liu Zi had already cooked the meal, so I immediately gobbled it up.

Liu Zi's home is in M City, Province H, which is hundreds of kilometers away, and it takes us 7 to 8 hours by car. We set off in the morning and when we arrived at our destination, it was already afternoon. Then we called a taxi and drove straight to Liuzi's house.

Liu Zi's home is very remote, and the driver doesn't know how to go, under the guidance of Liu Zi, the taxi turned around for a long time before turning into a dilapidated residential area on the outskirts of M City. The houses here are almost all made of iron sheets, with only one floor, and most of the iron sheets of the iron houses here have traces of erosion, many of which have rotted through the holes, especially the roofs, which have been eroded even more, and people use some plastic bags to seal up the holes, so the roofs and walls of these iron houses we see are covered with red and white plastic bags.

Liu Zi's home is in the depths of this slum, and I increased the price several times in a row, and the driver drove in in fear, because the security here is very bad, and there are often robberies, and if it weren't for my tough attitude and giving me more money, the driver would not want to drive in.

When the taxi arrived in front of a dilapidated tin house, Liu Zi immediately threw me off, rushed out of the car door, and ran towards a house, shouting as she ran: "Grandpa, grandma, I'm back!" ”

Hearing Liu Zi's scream, there was a sound of things falling over in the room, and then two gray-haired old men walked out majestically. One of the old grandmothers looked forward vigorously, looking very excited, trembling in her mouth, and muttering indistinctly, "Is Liu'er back?" ”

"Grandma, it's me! Your Liu'er is back. Liu Zi knelt on the ground, hugged the old woman's neck, and cried.

"Silly boy, grandma is not dead, why are you crying!" The old grandmother touched Liu Zi's head and said kindly.

The old man was calmer, saw me, walked over, and just wanted to ask me, but I took the first step, helped the old man and said, "Grandpa, Liu Zi and I are back to see you." ”

"You are?" The old man asked me suspiciously.

"Grandpa, my name is Tenglong, you can call me Xiaolong or Xiaoteng, there are some things here, Liu Zi and I are filial to you two elders." I raised the things in my hand towards the old man.

The old grandmother also noticed me, and she looked at Liu Zi, but Liu Zi blushed and did not make a sound. The old grandmother's eyes were not good, but she could notice that Liu Zi's expression was abnormal, and she looked at me happily, I hurriedly approached and called out affectionately, "Grandma is good." ”

"Huh! Child, you are so good, tell grandma, where do you live? When the old grandmother heard me call her grandma, her eyes narrowed, but the old man next to her interjected: "Old woman, let's not talk to the children all the time, we have to invite the children into the house to sit after standing for so long!" ”

"Huh! Look at my memory. The old lady smiled and patted her head, and led us into the house, Liu Zi took a step forward, helped the old woman, and walked into the house, and I also helped the old man and followed us in.

In this room, Liu Zi put down her grandmother and went to cook, while I stayed with the two old men.

"Child, where do you live, are your parents okay?" As soon as the old woman sat down, she began to question me again.

"Grandma, my family lives in Y City, Province G, thanks to Grandma's auspicious words, my parents are very good." I replied respectfully, "My words may be a little untrue, but there is no need to tell the two old men about the misfortunes of my family and make them worry about my family, is there no need to do it?"

"Child, what kind of work do you do, how did you meet my Liu'er?" The old woman continued.

"Grandma, I work at Dadi Company in N City, Province G, mainly as an accountant. Grandma, I didn't understand a lot of things not long after I came out, but fortunately I met Liu Zi, she helped me a lot? Grandpa, grandma, I would like to say thank you both in advance for raising such an excellent granddaughter. I.

My words made the two old men very happy, and the children did well and were the things they wanted to see the most, and then the old grandmother and the old grandfather asked me many questions, almost all the things in my family. The answers to these questions, last night at dinner, Liu Zi and I have already discussed, unified caliber, we made up a set of lies to deal with the second elder, in order to make the second elder happy. Seeing the appearance of the second elder constantly nodding, they were still very satisfied with my performance, I glanced at Liu Zi, who was cooking, and smiled, we knew that our plan was successful.

When dinner was ready, I took the initiative to help Liu Zi bring the food, and during the meal, I kept picking up the dishes for the second elder, and the grandparents kept shouting, so that the second elder was so happy that he praised me for being sensible. When I ate by myself, I didn't pretentious, I gobbled it up like before, and my true temperament invisibly shortened the distance between the second elder and me. This meal, everyone had a good meal.

After eating, Liu Zi washed the dishes and chopsticks, and was called by the old grandmother to the back room to talk. The two of them spoke very quietly, and I don't know what they said, but when they came out, the grandmother's eyes narrowed very much, and she walked more neatly. And Liu Zi blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at people.

We brought a lot of gifts this time, Liu Zi unpacked the packaging, one by one handed over to the two old people, every time they took one, they had to blame us for being too expensive, we should save the money, don't spend it like this. Having said that, they were in a very happy mood.

After distributing the gifts, Liu Zi put the fruit on the table, and the four of us began to chat. By ten o'clock in the evening, the two old men were already in good spirits, so we stopped chatting and asked the two of them to go back to sleep. At this time, Liu Zi and I found a very embarrassing thing, that is, this small tin house is very small, but it is divided into two rooms, one is larger, and the other can only fit one bed. As you can imagine, this hut is the same one that Liu Zi slept in before. Now the two old men sleep in the larger house outside, and Liu Zi sleeps in this small one, here, there is no place for me to sleep.

The two old men said goodnight to us and went to bed on their own, soon snoring slightly. Liu Zi and I glanced at each other, but they didn't move, what should we do now, it's more than 10 o'clock in the evening, it's not very late, but I can't call a car here during the day, let alone at night, I have no other place to go except to spend the night here.

"My grandparents are so relieved of me!" I looked at Liu Zi and said to her with a wry smile.

"Dragons." Liu Zi pulled me into the small house. "I'm sorry, I didn't think it would be like this." Liu Zi asked me to sit on the bed and whispered to me.

What else can I do for such an accident but sigh?

Liu Zi took off my coat, then took off her coat herself, got into the quilt, and said, "Dragon, let's lie like this, otherwise, grandparents will suspect us." ”

I groaned, leaning against the head of the bed, half-reclining, I was going to sit like this for the night. Liu Zi turned off the light and stopped talking, but after a while, I noticed that she was leaning against me, half-lying and half-sitting like me, still not speaking.

The two of us leaned on each other like this, neither of us spoke, no one moved, and for a long time, I heard Liu Zi's faint voice: "Dragon, are you unhappy?" ”

"No, I'm just thinking about something, grandma's eyes should be cataracts, this kind of disease, as long as a small surgery can be solved, and grandpa where they live now, it's too simple, the old people are old, maybe they won't live for many years, find them a better place to live." I said to myself.

"Dragon," I suddenly noticed that Liu Zi put her head in my arms, I smelled the fragrance of her hair, did not move, but continued: "After the New Year, we will make arrangements, the money will be paid by me, and I still have nearly 10 million in my account, I should be able to help them find a more comfortable place." ”

Liu Zi didn't say anything more, and I stopped talking, but Liu Zi changed her position, sat on her side, and lay half of her body into my arms, and I didn't pull her away, just wrapped one hand around her and combed her hair with the other. We just sat and hugged each other all the time.

Outside, the two old men were also talking secretly.

"Hey, I said old man, what do you think of that young man." The old grandmother asked the old man.

"A very good young man, not arrogant or impatient, his mouth is also very sweet, he looks tall, and his appearance is handsome enough, worthy of our family's willow." My grandfather has a very high opinion of me.

"You said we want them to sleep together, will it ......" The old man couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he thought of us being alone and widowed together.

"Old man, it's not that you don't know our Liu'er's temper, if it weren't for the person she fell in love with, how could she bring him back, you don't want to think about our environment here, can Liu'er bring outsiders over?" The old lady said unhappily.

"The lad is very good, and I have carefully observed it, and he is very open to us, and does not care at all about the simplicity of our place, and sits down when he sees our dusty chairs here, and does not wrinkle his forehead, and you see how he eats, as if he has been hungry for days. That young man seems to be a poor man, too, and does not dislike us. The old man spoke his observations.

"Poor is poor, as long as Liu'er likes it, you don't know, our Liu'er, how much I love him, although my eyes are a little blindfolded, but I can still pay attention, Liu'er's eyes always glance at the child's body, when eating, she is also very natural to scoop soup and vegetables for him, I can see that our Liu'er has taken care of the child for a long time, so there will be such a natural action. Moreover, this is what Liu Er requested, otherwise I wouldn't dare to let them live together, the current bad man, but the sea is gone, do you think I gave Liu Er to a person so casually? "The old grandmother is not confused.

We lived here for several days, and then we let my grandmother go for cataract surgery, and my grandmother didn't agree, and it was useless for us to persuade her, so we had no choice, and then we proposed to change them to a better place, and they were strongly opposed, saying that they were used to living here, and they didn't want to move the place, and in the end, they advised us to eat more, not too saving, if we buy a house, tell them, they will help us make up a sum of money. Alas! Fathers, they are all virtuous, they only have children in their hearts, and for the happiness of their children, they are willing to gnaw chaff.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, my father called me again, and in these days of the Chinese New Year, we often talked on the phone to say hello, and I also learned that my mother's condition had improved, and the experts in the hospital in Beijing were really good. If you have the opportunity to go to Beijing in the future, you must thank the doctor.

"Dad, is Mom's illness still improving?" I asked as soon as I called.

"She's recovering well, and she's been awake for about ten minutes every day."

"Really?" I almost jumped for joy, "Is that mom awake now, I want to talk to her." I asked anxiously.

"She just fell asleep, and the doctor said, don't give her too much stimulation, so don't talk to her on the phone until her condition stabilizes, and don't let her see you, lest she think of your sister again and cause her condition to deteriorate again." My father's words shattered my hope of communicating with my mother, and he warned me not to run away to visit my mother.

"You tell the doctor, I promise not to disturb my mother, let him cure his mother's illness quickly, and we will give him as much as he wants." I was inspired.

"This, alas, dragon, can you inform your sister?" My father's words seemed a little embarrassing.

"Yes, although she can't appear in public or talk to me often, if it's urgent, we can still use the emergency channel. Dad, what are you looking for her? "I was stunned for a moment, since I said that my sister is doing secret work in the LX company, and she can't show up in public, and she can't talk to her at will, my father hasn't taken the initiative to talk to my sister, and now he suddenly wants me to contact me if something happened.

"Oh, this, the doctor, the doctor said, I want to set a special treatment plan for your mother, but I don't have enough money here, I ......" The father couldn't go on, alas, everyone's parents are the same, their own money can always be selflessly provided for their children, but if you want to ask for your children's money, it is always belching.

"Dad, I forgot to tell you, my sister told me last time that she helped LX do a big project, and the company rewarded her with a bonus of more than one million. Dad, how much does that plan cost, I asked my sister to send the money, just let her bring the one million prize money over, so that she doesn't spend it extravagantly. "I was relieved, it turned out that I was short of money, and this is no big problem for me now.

"Long, how can you say this about your sister, she won't be as lavish as you, she has to send more than 300,000 yuan every month, although she is in the position she is in now, the income is very high, but she can't send so much money every month, she can't have much left. Dragon, you ask her to send less money in the future, and you have to keep some money down. "My father taught me.

"Ahh Dad, are you telling the truth? My sister sends more than 300,000 yuan every month, and they are really a lot of money! Dad, I live very hard here, and the food expenses are expensive, can you send me an extra 1,000 yuan a month, you see, is your son losing a lot of weight now. My eyes lit up and I complained to my father.

"Rebel, you are so old, you will only spend money, you already have 600 yuan a month, are you still not enough? The long call fee is very expensive, don't talk about it, remember to inform your sister, but if your sister's money is in a hurry, you can also delay it for a while, after all, your mother has been delaying it for so long, and it doesn't matter if it is delayed for a while. The father hastily ended the call.

"Liu Zi, I want to go back today." As soon as I answered the phone, I found Liu Zi, who was struggling to clean up.

"Dragon, what's going on?" Liu Zi stopped, dried the sweat from his forehead, and asked me.

"My dad called me in Beijing just now, my mom's condition has improved, and now the doctor is preparing another treatment plan, and I urgently need a lot of money, I have to go back and prepare." I don't think there's anything to hide, so I'll tell Liu Zi the truth.

"We told our grandparents that we would go together." Liu Zi cleaned up her things a few times and walked into the house.

We told our grandparents that the company had begun to urge us to go back to work, but our grandparents didn't let us stay longer, they said that young people should focus on careers, and just asked us to come and sit often.

The first thing I did when I returned to N City was to send 2 million to my father, and when I called my father, the excuse was that my sister had been awarded by the company many times, and now my mother was in a hurry to use the money, so I sent it together, and said to my father that my sister didn't need money for food and accommodation, and LX company still had a lot of benefits, and a lot of things were sent every month, so the salary was basically not used. As a consequence, I was scolded by my father, saying that my results in this mid-term exam were not good enough, and that I should study hard and strive to work in LX in the future.

I have been in one ear and one ear out of my father's rebuke, but in order to reassure my father, my series of assurances are indispensable. Maybe my performance was a success, and my father actually promised to give me an extra 200 yuan a month to buy nutrition and books.

Tomorrow the game "Taimeng" will be updated, and this night, I entered the website and wanted to see what valuable news there was in the past few days. I haven't been online for a few days, and as soon as I entered the official website of "Taimeng", I saw a very conspicuous news: "Congratulations on the successful update of "Taimeng"! ”

On this site, I'm looking for information about what has changed since the game was updated. Soon, I found them, I looked at them carefully, and found that there were some changes after the update of the game "Taimeng", which I briefly summarized as follows:

1. The time in the game and the real time have changed, no longer 1:1, but 3:1. LX has really solved that time system, and players can have more time to play the game.

2. It is no longer difficult to become a magician, and players who want to become a magician do not have to go to the Four Seasons Hall to suffer, any player, as long as he is in the magician's guild, after learning the magician's books, is a magician. However, LX mentioned that mages who practiced with the previous method would have higher attack power, and suggested that players use the previous method to cultivate mages.

3. The resurrection fee has been adjusted, the resurrection fee has been reduced to 1,000 yuan once, and the punishment for intentional homicide is basically the same as the original, except that the fine is reduced to 1,000 yuan per person.

4. After adulthood, the level can continue to rise, but each level only adds 1 point of strength, a point of agility, and a point of intelligence. Moreover, the experience of each level of promotion will be very high, and it is possible that the player will not be able to upgrade the level if he kills a monster for a month in a row. Moreover, the experience of the latter level is several times greater than that of the previous level. So, although you can upgrade as an adult, it's very unrealistic.

These are just the main points of change, and there are many other aspects that I don't think have had a big impact on me, so I'll just go through them. After reading the revised information, I went to the forum to find some valuable insights as usual.
