Chapter 103: Road Encounter
Take off the game helmet, the sun shines into your eyes, and a golden glow.
Cotai Strip.
Lin Ling rubbed his messy hair and glanced at the rising sun. In fact, this time period is about half an hour before the start time of "Eternity" maintenance, which is enough for him to listen to the nagging of NPCs and get the quest reward. However, this time period is also the time when the number of players online is the highest, and if he chooses to claim the mission reward with his teammates at this time, all League of Legends players online will see the system announcement of killing the ancient god Ksur.
This is undoubtedly a good topic for players who are worried about how to pass the time of system maintenance.
When the time comes, I am afraid that the official forum will be uneasy.
Those who haven't had enough fun will use this system announcement as a topic to kill time, talking about it over and over again, trying to make up a little bit of what they don't have to make up for it.
This would be detrimental to Lin Ling's reputation.
In contrast, when handing over tasks at the end of maintenance in the afternoon, the announcement from the system will only cause a little ripple at best, and will not attract much attention from players who are preoccupied with the game.
The game wisdom that is ten years ahead of others, is it just talk?
Lin Ling turned on the automatic update of the game helmet, after the death of a big boss like the ancient god Ksur, the system will definitely make some updates, remove the relevant NPCs of the blood sacrifice mission, adjust the task trigger and the strength of the boss, and drop items.
Lin Ling thought about it for a while, and sent a text message to tell Li Linda to remember to turn on the automatic update, hang the game helmet on the stand at the head of the bed, and get out of bed to wash.
He wasn't much excited to take the first kill of the ancient god Ksur.
Because all of this is in his plan, and the performance of Uncle Ben and the group of miscellaneous fish at the peak of the bright peak can be called actors, and they will do it obediently if they don't have to do something as a "director" to guide them. Sometimes Lin Ling is a little skeptical, have all of these guys been familiar with "The Self-cultivation of Actors"?
After taking care of the housework, it was ten o'clock in the morning.
Lin Ling sat down in front of the computer and replied to the email sent by his parents who were far away on Mars as usual, and his parents congratulated him on his admission to the University of Science and Technology of the Future, and sent him 3,000 yuan of pocket money to his bank card to buy some study materials and clothes.
Mars, which is still in the development stage, has a much harder life than Earth, and money is needed almost everywhere.
But Lin Ling did not refuse his parents' gifts, but he sent the transaction records of the black market to his parents with attachments, telling them that he could make money now, and asked them not to send him any more money in the future. Then, he looked at his mailbox, and the University of Science and Technology of the Future replied to his class schedule, and sent him the required books for the course and the purchase price of the school.
Looking at the long list of books, Lin Ling selected some necessary professional course textbooks and handed them to the academy to purchase, and other elective courses and basic subject textbooks, he was going to go to the book city to purchase.
Every year, the book city will discount some textbooks in the summer, and although the discounted price is higher than the second-hand books in the flea market, Lin Ling still has the money to buy books. Before going out, he made an appointment for an outpatient registration online, transferred 45,490 yuan obtained by selling gold coins to his medical card, and planned to go to the hospital in a few days to dispense some medicine, and then went out with a bag on his back.
"Yo, Xiaolin, want to go out?"
In the elevator room, Lin Ling met a female colleague of his mother, who was still single in her 40s and liked to be nosy on weekdays. He wasn't very good at dealing with this kind of old woman with the attributes of eight women in the past, and at most he would only nod his head coldly a few times, which could be regarded as a greeting.
But as a human being in two lives, Lin Ling already understands the truth of behaving in the world, and knows that smiling at this kind of old woman with the attributes of an eighth woman is the best way.
"Aunt Zhang, please first." Lin Ling stretched out his hand and pressed the elevator door and asked the old woman to go into the elevator first. He stood in the doorway, pressed the floor, smiled and said to the old woman, "I've been at home for too long, and I want to go out and find a job." ”
"Looking for a job? Kobayashi, your body ......."
The old woman asked pretending to be concerned.
Lin Ling's eyes flashed with a gleam, he knew very well that the ultimate purpose of this old woman was to find out about her parents.
"I want to ease some of the burden on my family." He deliberately did not say anything about his physical condition, but led the topic to the family situation.
The old woman immediately took it for granted that Lin Ling's parents were not doing well on Mars, otherwise they would not need their son with a genetic disease to go out to work to reduce the burden on the family. Her eight women had a seizure, and asked repeatedly, "Don't read the book?" I heard that a few days ago, a postal courier came to our building to deliver the admission letter......"
"It's probably Uncle Lin's house on the third floor, and his son is the same age as me." Lin Ling interrupted the eighth woman's chatter. He knew it was the nosy community security guards who were chewing their tongues behind their backs.
After deciding to pay off the money his parents owed, he looked for an opportunity to move out and away from this old-fashioned neighborhood with a very bad atmosphere!
"Oh." The old woman nodded thoughtfully, the owner surnamed Lin on the 3rd floor is also a colleague with her, is it such a thing as his family receiving an admission letter, just ask at work.
As he spoke, the elevator reached the first floor.
Lin Ling asked the old woman to get out of the elevator first, pretended to be weak, and walked slowly to the bus stop.
After glancing at Lin Ling, the old woman who was taking the bus across the road began to gossip about Lin Ling's family with the eight women who took the same class, and pointed at him with her head down.
Lin Ling lowered his head and stood in the shade of the tree, he raised the corner of his eyes and looked at the group of chattering old women with disdain.
He completely regarded them as his own mouthpiece, as long as those old women publicized the gossip they talked about today in the unit, it would definitely reach the ears of his relatives.
In such a situation, would they still be interested in asking for money?
I'm afraid I don't even bother to step into the threshold.
As long as Lin Ling is given another half a year, he can make up a huge amount of money and settle half of the balance owed by his parents. And the other half, he will take his time with his relatives who like to tamper with IOUs.
Lin Ling took a shuttle bus to the city center, got off at the book city, and bought all the textbooks in the book city.
"Classmate, I'm sorry to ask for directions."
Just as Lin Ling was about to go home, a hand pressed his shoulder.
A young man with a bald head and a pair of round sunglasses on his nose stood beside him and asked, "Where is the entrance to the Hilton Hotel?" How can I not find it? ”
"You mean the IFC mall, right?" Lin Ling removed the hand that was holding his shoulder, the Hilton Hotel in the IFC is a conceptual building, the entire shape of the hotel is a huge spherical shape, relying on the most advanced suspension technology to suspend in the interior of the IFC complex, about twenty meters above the ground, it is one of the most luxurious hotels in Tianwen City.
"Do you see the football field-like building?" Lin Ling pointed to the very conspicuous dome-shaped building, which was the IFC Mall.
"Huh? I thought it was a gymnasium or something, but it turned out to be the IFC mall, and the shape was really weird. The young man in sunglasses nodded slightly to Lin Ling, and then turned his hand and slapped a tall strong man wearing a cowboy hat beside him, "Look at you, you haven't known where the IFC is after spending more than half a year in the hammer of doom?" ”
"Who would go to that kind of place." As soon as the strong man who armed himself like a western cowboy with sunglasses, a cowboy hat, and a tassel scarf spoke, Lin Ling recognized the voice.
It's the wolf god!
"Anyway, I can finally rest." A stocky man with a trolley box picks his nose and pops his nose at pedestrians on the side of the road.
Listening from the voice, it should be that priest, anonymous information!
"Hehe, I wonder if those little babies will scream loudly when they see me?" The man with a tuft of goatee smiled lewdly, and the foreigner standing beside him pushed his sliding glasses and glanced at Lin Ling, the corners of his mouth revealing a contemptuous smile on his lips.
Yaksha and Aarhus!
Very good, have all Uncle Ben's lackeys gathered?
Lin Ling looked at the back of the young man in sunglasses, is this Uncle Ben? It's no wonder that even walking has an unaccustomed toe-to-toe look. He walked into the newsstand everywhere on the side of the road, bought a new anonymous mobile phone number, found an open-air café at random, asked for a cup of iced coffee and sat down, replaced his chip, and dialed Li Linda's phone.
In less than half a minute, the phone was connected.
"I'm zero, do I have time?" Lin Ling picked up the coffee cup and took a sip of the cold brown liquid, he didn't wait for Li Linda to answer him, he said, "I saw the wolf god, he is with Yaksha and Uncle Ben." ”
"Hua Guduo asked for leave today, and she said she was going for a follow-up visit."
Linda Li said something that seemed unrelated.
"No, there are no specialist clinics today. Her situation couldn't be handled by an ordinary outpatient clinic. Lin Ling categorically vetoed, he had just made an appointment with a specialist clinic in the morning, although his condition was different from that of Hua Guduo, but they were both treated in the First Municipal Hospital of Tianwen City, Lin Ling had encountered Hua Guduo in Shiyi in his previous life.
"You mean?" Li Linda didn't ask Lin Ling how she knew, she knew very well that even if she asked Lin Ling, she wouldn't answer her truthfully.
"Don't worry, they're not coming at us, or rather, we're just an incidental. They're supposed to be here to prepare for the offline challenge. Lin Ling vaguely remembered that the Hammer of Doom was a partner of the first offline challenge, and he asked, "Can you help me get an identity and blend into the challenge." ”
"You're going to play?" Li Linda was shocked, as a member of the management of the Doom Mallet Guild, and the staff of the club. In the past few days, she has learned many things that she never knew about in the past through the dual channels of guilds and clubs, and gradually understood what kind of group Lin Ling had offended.
Those who thought they were just pimping, ecstasy thugs, have disappeared from the circle.
Compared with the official terminology of online violence organizations, mafia is the correct name they should have!
"No, I'm going to watch that game from the closest distance." After Lin Ling paused, he said, "It's you who want to play!" ”
