Lu Fan looked at it and saw a screen photo on the screen of his mobile phone.

Screen photos are the kind of photos taken with a mobile phone camera pointed at the computer screen, and the person taking the photo seems to be shaking his hand constantly, and the effect of the finished film is simply not good.

Lu Fan squinted and looked at it for a long time, and could only barely make out that it was a wisteria flower, but it was not a flower in reality, but a 3D modeling with a strong cartoon rendering style.

This appears to be a picture taken from the item screen of a video game, with the name of the item on it: [Bleak Wisteria Flower]

Lu Fanqiang resisted the urge to incarnate Teacher Rao Luoxiang to teach the other party to take screenshots, and asked casually, "What is this?" ”

"Here's a screenshot I took a week ago from Star Soul Art Online during pre-login." Qin Hao replied.

"Star Soul Divine Domain?"

Lu Fan and the three of them looked at each other, and in the past few days, various TV programs, websites, and subway stations have carried out overwhelming publicity for this game, and they are naturally familiar with it.

Moreover, Lu Fan remembered that Senior Qin, who was in the third year of high school, had said that his brother's distress seemed to be related to this game.

Seeing that the doubts on the faces of Lu Fan and the others were getting heavier and heavier, Qin Hao took a sip of coffee and began to talk about his past from the beginning:

"My girlfriend's name is Wu Xiaoya, and she is the same age as me.

The two of us met in college, and it's been almost five years since we started dating.

After graduating from university, I went to work in the imperial capital, while Xiaoya stayed in Donghai City to work, and the two of us started a long-distance relationship.

As a couple like us, we have to find a way to keep our relationship together, but we both graduated and don't have much savings, so it's a luxury to fly to each other every weekend, and our meagre internship pay can't hold up.

Later, I happened to see the "Star Soul Art Online" deleted beta recruitment poster posted by Gentleman Games Company in the subway station, thinking that I wouldn't have anything to do in my free time anyway, so I pulled Xiaoya to play this online game together.

Let me first explain the meaning of the deleted closed beta of "Star Soul Art Online", this test is mainly for game developers to check the game's gameplay process, class balance, game bugs and other aspects in advance, in preparation for the upcoming open beta.

Of course, players who participate in this deleted closed beta can also benefit from it.

First of all, there is the benefit of the gaming experience. After the open beta of the game, the world is full of new players, but because of the experience of playing in advance, the beta players can be one step ahead as 'old players'.

There are many guilds, strategy groups and other player organizations in the game, and they like to find 'old players' as staff officers, after all, there are old drivers to lead the team, and fighting bosses and raiding dungeons is also twice the result with half the effort.

Moreover, in order to reward old players, before the end of the closed beta, each of these players can choose a prop in their backpack and keep it until the open beta.

After Xiaoya and I studied the game's mechanics and art style, we both felt that this cartoon fantasy style game was quite suitable for us, so we signed up for this test.

The deleted closed beta lasted for more than a month, and we both had a lot of fun in it, so we unanimously decided to continue playing during the open beta and stay in this game for retirement.

Half a month ago, in order to facilitate players to pinch their faces for their characters in advance, the official Gentleman Games opened the [Open Beta Pre-Login] event. Before the official launch of the game's open beta, players can first go to the server to create a character and pinch their faces.

And this [Bleak Wisteria Flower] was received in the account mailbox a week ago, when I logged in to the game to create a new character, and the sender was Xiaoya's game ID, and this wisteria flower should be an item that Xiaoya chose to keep during the closed beta. ”

Qin Hao said so much in a row, and suddenly felt a little dry, grabbed the small cup on the table and poured a sip of coffee.

Lu Fan thought for a moment and said, "In other words, Brother Qin, do you think that this wisteria flower is some kind of message conveyed to you by your girlfriend?" ”

"Yes." Qin Hao nodded with great certainty,

"Although Xiao Ya broke contact with me earlier, I had a hunch that Xiao Ya would land in Star Soul Divine Domain, so I pre-logged in a week ago, but I didn't expect to receive an email from her. But when I replied to any email, Xiaoya was silent. ”

Chu Xiong showed his straightforward characteristics at this time:

"Brother Qin, with all due respect, the flower language of wisteria flowers seems to be 'intoxicating love', right? Your girlfriend sends you a dim wisteria flower, which means that this love has been dimmed and annihilated, doesn't this mean that you are dead? ”

The other two were silent, although Chu Xiong's words were not good, but Lu Fan didn't want to deny this speculation.

Qin Hao shook his head decisively:

"According to Xiaoya's character, if she really wants to break up with me, she will definitely not say hello in reality, let alone send such a strange email to hint. So my guess is that there may be something else going on here.

This [Bleak Wisteria Flower] is a custom item signed with Xiaoya's game ID, and there may be a hidden mechanism in it. But if you want to crack the secret of this item, you can only explore it in the game.

I'm just a regular gamer, and I'm an office worker, and I have a limited amount of time to spend in the game every day, so I wanted to find someone to explore the game with me.

I first thought of my brother, who joined the "Game Research Department" in his sophomore year of high school, and it was full of bigwig players who were very good at tackling various games.

But my brother told me that the Game Research Department was disbanded because the minister, Zhao Kejin, was addicted to scrap mobile games, and then he introduced me to your Everything.

So, I'm going to ask you for help – and I'm willing to pay you, of course. ”

Lu Fan suddenly realized at this time: "In other words, the senior wants to invite us to play "Star Soul Divine Domain" with you and investigate the clues left by his girlfriend?" ”

"Yes, if the schedule of the members of your club is inconvenient, at least I hope that Lu Fan will definitely participate in it."

Lu Fan said secretly: Am I the kind of person who seems to be idle all day long?

…… It seems to be true.

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in his head:

"Discover the key clues of the [Fourth Milestone], the milestone has begun, and the current exploration progress: 10."

Hearing the system prompt, Lu Fan understood: the decadent young man named Qin Hao in front of him should be one of the key figures in the fourth milestone.

It seems that as Ilya said, if you explore more relationships, you will always find the trigger point for the milestone.

That being the case, Lu Fan nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Qin's busy, I'll be next for Lu Fan." ”

Qin Hao suddenly showed a look of overjoy, and said gratefully: "Don't thank you for your kindness, you will be rewarded afterwards." ”

"Well, money isn't the most important thing." Lu Fan waved his hand, he estimated that Qin Hao, an office worker who had just graduated, had not saved much money.

After that, Lu Fan learned some information about "Star Soul Divine Domain" from his casual chat with Qin Hao.

In fact, when Lu Fan was a student before the time travel, he played many types of online games and knew a lot about online games.

However, the tech tree in this world is not exactly the same as in the previous world.

One of the more obvious differences is the development of graphics card technology.

Now, the new game graphics card GTX6900 launched by Eagle Weida has been able to reach the resolution of almost visual reality, that is, it has really reached the point of [virtual reality], and supports the latest 360-degree panoramic display VR headset.

But this has also led to an explosion in the price of the hardware configuration of the computer host. Lu Fan wasn't sure if the computer in his room could bring this game.

Finally, Lu Fan and Qin Hao made an appointment to participate in the open beta of "Star Soul God Online" next Saturday.

Lu Fan first set up an account in the game, and then found Qin Hao's game character, and after Lu Fan personally checked the wisteria prop, the two sides discussed their future actions.

After the plan was agreed, Lu Fan and the three of them chatted with Qin Hao about some of the things that they didn't have, and they disbanded on the spot and went back to their respective homes.

……

In the evening, Lu Fan turned on the desktop computer on his desk. This console has a pink chassis with cute patterns printed on it.

After carefully checking the details of the computer hardware configuration, Lu Fan was disappointed.

This computer uses an antique-level graphics card, not to mention high-end games like "Star Soul Art Online", and even the 3D mini-games from a few years ago may not be able to bring it up.

Of course, there is a reason why the hardware is so old, and this old pink computer was not originally his, but Futaba used the leftovers.

Lu Fan also recalled before that their whole family was controlled by their daughter, and his son was sent by a charging phone bill. The first thing the old man did when he paid his salary was to find a way to please his daughter, and he could only use the rest of his sister.

It can be seen from Lu Fan's girlish room that whether it is a bed, a bookcase, or a curtain, they are all outdated items left over by my sister, not to mention the large pile of old dolls piled up in the corner of the room.

In Lu Fan's kindergarten days, he only played with dolls.

But later,I don't know if Futaba is gradually growing up sensible.,Began to feel sorry for this brother who can only pick up leaks.,Slowly she began to ask her dad for some toys that boys like to play with.。

After getting his hands on it, Futaba deliberately said that he was tired of playing and secretly stuffed it to Lu Fan, which allowed Lu Fan to have a few decent Transformers in his childhood.

You must know that in an era when he only had Barbie dolls to play with, Chu Xiong, the little fat man, laughed at him a lot.

Every year when Lu Fan celebrates his birthday, Futaba will ask him what he likes in advance, and then pester his father to ask for it.

After the old man bought it for her, she didn't even open the package, and secretly stuffed it into Lu Fan's schoolbag on Lu Fan's birthday.

Slowly, as long as the sister of Futaba is mentioned, Lu Fanman only has the word "cute" left in his mind - cute and sensible, who doesn't like it?

He was thinking about it, when suddenly, a voice came from the door—

"Brother, what are you doing?"
