"Whew-"

"Updated! It looks like we'll have to wait until the evening to go live. ”

In a room in an apartment building, Mao Ming lay on the bed, took off the linked virtual device, and looked at the empty white ceiling with his eyes open, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Slowly sitting up from the bed, Mao Ming first looked at his hands and feet, then pulled off his shirt to look at his somewhat emaciated figure, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"It's really a little uncomfortable!!"

Standing up from the bed, Mao Ming first twisted his waist left and right in place, stretched his muscles and bones, then spread his legs slightly apart, made a lunge movement, and subconsciously murmured softly, "Type 1 Sweep!" ”

With his right hand and palm into a knife, he subconsciously slashed forward.

He took another step forward with his right foot, raised his hands above his head, as if holding a long sword, and shouted softly again: "Type 10 Slash!" ”

"Oops......"

As soon as this action was made, Mao Ming suddenly felt the muscles in his arm pull slightly, and the action quickly stopped.

"It's not a little bit of poor physical fitness."

Mao Ming touched the muscles on his left and right arms, and there was a slight tingling, but fortunately, he stopped relatively quickly, and he didn't finish all the complete "Type 10 Slash", the muscles were just gently pulled, otherwise, if he had done this action according to the action in the game just now, I am afraid that the muscles on his thighs would have been at least a slight strain.

"Alas, if only we could awaken transcendent seeds in reality!"

In the past, he might have felt that although he was thinner, he was acceptable.

But now compared to his body that awakened the transcendent seed in the game world, it was really the difference between heaven and earth, clouds and mud, and the huge gap made people seem to be a little depressed.

"But it seems that the combat skills of this trainee knight can be used in reality."

Mao Ming exhaled lightly again, and then shook his head again, "I'm a little stunned to play the game, although I remember those moves, but my physical fitness supports, I can't exert any power at all." ”

Thinking about him in the game, his physical fitness has reached two or three times that of a normal person, and he is even stronger in terms of recovery, and not particularly fatal injuries can last for a long time, but in reality, he is just an ordinary person after all.

The one in the game who awakened the transcendent seed is different from him in the real world after all.

Walked to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, bowed a handful of water and washed his face, Mao Ming looked at the emaciated immature face in the mirror, and was somewhat in a trance for a while.

"The game is so real that I can't even tell which world is real and which world is fake! If only I could stay in the game! ”

Although he is already a young man in his twenties, he is intellectually told that he is now in the real world, but his brain still doesn't seem to be out of the game, and he unconsciously recalls the bone monitor lizard he suddenly encountered before the update, he just had time to take a look, and then the next moment he was pulled away by the tongue of the big lizard, and directly returned to the resurrection point.

"It's a really miserable death!"

Mao Ming complained, simply washed and cleaned up his personal hygiene problems, returned to the room and hastily dressed, and prepared to go out to the mall.

I've been staying at home for a while, and I just happened to be able to buy some daily necessities and come back today while I was updated, and I took a casual walk to take a breath.

After graduating from college, his family arranged to find several jobs, but unfortunately they were not satisfactory, and he resigned and went home not long after.

In fact, the main problem is that he is timid and introverted, always does not know what to say to outsiders, and has a certain degree of social barriers.

Fortunately, the conditions at home are not bad, my father has a factory, my mother has not retired from the public institution, and there are five or six properties in the city where he lives.

It was pure luck to start playing "Journey to the Otherworld" before.,Accidentally got the qualification for the test.,He happened to be bored rummaging through the game in those days.,Somehow the ghost found the game.,This started to make him addicted to it.,If it weren't for the game to be updated,,He wouldn't want to go offline.。

"My virtual device is a bit rotten, is it time to change it?"

Out of the apartment building, Mao Mingdu was in a state of mind all the way, thinking about the monster in the game for a while, and thinking that his virtual device was a little bad for a while.

Now his virtual equipment is similar to VR glasses, but there is a little more electrical signal in the device, which he bought when he was in college, and the VR game has just come out to experience it for a while, but the quality is too poor after that, and there is no interest at all.

It's just that now that Mao Ming thinks about it, he feels that there is something wrong with his cheap virtual equipment, as if some kind of medium directly pulls people in.

"That's probably the way it is, right?"

Mao Ming is a little strange, but 100% real simulation of this kind of game is the first time to play after all, he is too lazy to think so much, what technology is used, he doesn't care, the game is fun, in the game he feels like a different person, special blood, special value and sense of existence.

"If the quota is opened in this update, I don't know how many people will enter...... Alas, the next time I meet that bone monitor lizard, I should be careful of his tongue as soon as possible, and Boss Xu They came back and said that the skin can't be beaten at all, and they must use the bed crossbow, and the master said that there are still many monsters under the magic crystal mine, and now I don't know if the bed crossbow will work, otherwise use the magic crystal cannon...... No, I think there should be a blacksmith in the camp, the weapon is too simple......"

When he arrived at the bus stop in the community downstairs, Mao Ming habitually stood behind the crowd behind the platform, he actually had a car at home, but he went to get a driver's license before, and after being reprimanded by the coach, he was reluctant to go again.

Naturally, he can take a taxi, and he also has money, but he still doesn't feel the need. In fact, to some extent, he grew up according to the standards of a good child since he was a child.

At the moment before and after Mao Ming, many office workers and students are waiting for the bus while swiping their mobile phones, which was almost the same for him in the past.

In fact, there is not much to see, just to relieve his nervousness when there are many people, but today he completely forgot about the mobile phone, and the whole person looks wooden and immersed in that world.

“…… By the way, Trainer Gusa said that the transcendent first order learns the tactics of trainee knights, so is there a higher level...... It's all Western martial arts, doesn't it mean that there is still the Eastern Continent...... Hey, my physical fitness in the game seems to be very strong, can I get some free fighting, if I can take a screenshot, it's enough for me to make a kung fu movie, and the mount, riding on the mount and playing with a long-handled weapon is too stylish, hahaha, those sand sculpture mounts ran away, what if I have a mount? I still have to find NPCs to help raise it, and I have to brush up some favorability when I go back......"

"Alas, buddy, can't you get on?"

Mao Ming suddenly felt as if he had been gently pushed, and when he turned around, he saw a young man wearing glasses pointing to the bus in front of him.

He only reacted at this time, he had been at the back of the line, and unconsciously followed the flow of people to the front, just blocking the path of the people behind.

Mao Ming quickly identified the bus he was waiting for, and sneered at the crowd around him: "Up, on!" ”

When he got on the bus, he was followed by a lot of people, and he squeezed forward again, as if because it was too crowded, and accidentally elbowed the back of a young woman in front of him.

"What are you doing?!" A young woman standing in front of Mao Ming suddenly turned her head and glared at him fiercely.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's too crowded! Mao Ming showed a shy smile, grabbed the handrail with one hand to stabilize his figure, and said apologetically.

"Look at the dots!" The young woman in front looked at Mao Ming's cowering appearance, obviously had some bad associations, glanced at him with disgust, and moved her body to the front, as if she wanted to stay away from Mao Ming.

The bus swayed all the way forward, Mao Ming's thoughts fluttered, and he was once again immersed in another world, thinking about the bone monitor lizard and the magic crystal of the crater.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a silver-white light flashing.

"Huh?" Mao Ming saw that on the other side of his body, under the armpit of an ordinary-looking man, a pair of silver tweezers quietly poked out, reaching into the handbag of the young woman he had just bumped into.

As if noticing Mao Ming's gaze, the ordinary-looking man quickly put back the tweezers in his hand, raised his head and glanced at Mao Ming casually, and actually showed a faint smile at Mao Ming.

"Got a pickpocket?"

Mao Ming only felt that his heart suddenly twitched, and he instantly became nervous.

"Shall I break his identity?"

"Do you want to stop him?"

"Will he have an accomplice here and get out of the car and beat me?"

"I read the news before that thieves all have accomplices, and if their deeds are exposed, they will retaliate against others."

He has been introverted and silent since he was a child.,Don't have much sense of existence.,Because he's relatively thin.,In elementary and junior high school, he was bullied by some naughty students.,After working in college.,This kind of thing is less.,But it's also the most honest and temperamental one in the class and dormitory.。 And when he came out to school and work, his parents were afraid that something would happen to him, so they told him to be nosy and have no reason to provoke wrongdoing.

The key is that he himself knows that he is very cowardly, and he has rarely encountered such a thing as a thief on the bus, and he has encountered such a thing before when he was just in college, and once encountered this kind of thing at the train station.

That time, he panicked and didn't dare to stop it, so he could only watch the pickpocket take someone else's wallet and swagger away.

The ordinary-looking man standing on the other side of Mao Ming's body seemed to glance at Mao Ming inadvertently, seeing that Mao Ming, who was thin and weak, didn't dare to look at him at all, the corners of his mouth inadvertently outlined a smile, the tweezers in his sleeve slipped down to his right hand again, and his left arm was slightly raised just to block the sight of others, and the tweezers, which were about twenty or thirty centimeters long, quietly poked out from under his armpit.

Although there are occasional news on the Internet that he has been caught stealing something, and the masses work together to subdue a certain gangster, the reason why it is news is that most of the time, most people are hanging on their own business.

Those who really dare to stand up and shout the first are often a minority, and if he finds out that he is a tall and enthusiastic young man, he will have quietly slipped to the back compartment and looked for an opportunity to get off.

But a young man like Mao Ming, who was nervous when he saw him, looked timid and afraid that he hadn't gone through any experience, and he didn't dare to shout just now, and he believed that the other party didn't dare to do the same this time.

"Ahem!!"

The moment the man started with tweezers, suddenly, Mao Ming coughed awkwardly.

The man's brows frowned slightly, the movements in his hands slowed down, and he glanced at Mao Ming out of the corner of his eye.

Mao Ming grabbed the handrail with one hand, tilted his head sideways and looked out the window, as if the cough was just an accident, and he didn't pay attention to the man's movements at all.

The man stared at Mao Ming for a while, as if to confirm whether Mao Ming was intentional or not, and seeing that Mao Ming seemed to be completely unintentional, the tweezers that had just been withdrawn a little bit were handed out again.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem—"

Mao Ming, who was looking out the window, suddenly coughed violently, and his voice was terrifying.

It's not a low-pitched cough like a mild cold, but like a tuberculosis ghost in some movies, it seems that there is a mouthful of phlegm stuck in the throat, desperately trying to cough it out.

"Yo ......"

On the congested bus, Mao Ming's violent coughing sound suddenly sounded, and the passengers next to him instantly avoided the front and back sides.

The young woman standing in front of Mao Ming was touched by him just now, and at this time she even shrank sideways into the window of an old man sitting next to her, as if she just wanted to avoid this disgusting scene from afar.

When Mao Ming's cough suddenly sounded, the man with an ordinary face moved quickly, and the tweezers in his hand were taken back almost immediately, and he was not seen by others, but he was still looking up at Mao Ming's smiling face, which was already a little more hideous at the moment.

Mao Ming's face was flushed, his expression was extremely unnatural, and he didn't know if he was coughing or couldn't stand the strange eyes of many passengers. After stopping the cough, he shrunk his neck slightly, deliberately not looking at the ordinary-looking man staring at him, and after arriving at the bus stop for another stop, he panicked and followed the passengers who got off the bus next to him.

As soon as he got off the bus, Mao Ming was ready to change to one, he was really nervous, he just wanted to shout "there is a thief" but didn't dare to shout, so he could only use a desperate cough to remind him.

Standing in the crowd and being looked at by everyone with special eyes is really extremely uncomfortable and tormenting for him.

But as soon as the man got out of the car, his feet were not yet steady, and suddenly a force came from behind him, pushed him, and a vicious voice followed:

"You don't have long eyes, step on my feet!"

Mao Ming stumbled and shook several steps towards the platform in front of him, holding on to the ground of the platform next to him with one hand before he stopped his body and did not fall.

As soon as I turned around, I saw that the person who had just gotten out of the car and pushed him was the man in the car with an ordinary face. Behind this man, there was also a strong man of about 1.85 meters. Looking at the posture, it was obvious that the two gangs committed the crime, and after being disturbed by Mao Ming on the bus, they came to trouble him.

Mao Ming glanced at the two of them, got up from the ground silently, didn't dare to look at the two anymore, turned around and prepared to leave. This will make his heart pound and pound, and the more he is afraid of something, the more something will come.

"Hey, let you go? Give me back! ”

The man with an ordinary face saw Mao Ming's cowering appearance, and his tone became more and more arrogant.

caught up with Mao Ming in a few steps, and slapped him the head, "If you step on my foot, you want to leave, lose money!" ”

The tall man next to him followed in a few steps, blocking in front of Mao Ming, with the same unkind look.

Mao Ming's face turned blue and purple for a while, he lowered his head and didn't dare to squeak, and his body trembled slightly.

He really hasn't encountered such a situation, because the schools along the way are pretty good, even if he was bullied in school before, it was just someone who asked him to buy drinks and snacks and laugh at him.

But being blocked by others really made him a little at a loss.

On the bus platform, there are not many people at this station, waiting for the bus and getting off the bus are in a hurry to go to work and school, many just glanced, seemed to perceive the contradiction of several people, and did not stay, so they left in a hurry, only two or three people, but also just watched from afar, and no one stepped forward for a while.

"Speak! How to pay? ”

The man with an ordinary face looked at Mao Ming and was silent, the anger on his face became a little heavier, and he raised his hand to push Mao Ming again.

In his opinion, a soft persimmon like Mao Ming is not easy to meet, in fact, even if Mao Ming dares to argue a few words and glare at him a few times, he will probably leave with a few cruel words.

Now in this society, he really doesn't dare to be presumptuous, but the other party doesn't dare to squeak for a long time, which is rare.

With his eyesight, he can naturally see from Mao Ming's clothes that the other party's conditions are good, the most important thing is that this character is superb, he can't let out a fart for a long time, and the man with an ordinary face remembers that the last time he met someone like Mao Ming, it had to be when he was in junior high school in the township, those well-behaved nerds had to perform.

"Maybe we can make up for a few hundred yuan to make up for the loss of just 'going empty'."

The ordinary-looking man thought so in his mind, but at the moment when he stretched out his hand to push Mao Ming again, he suddenly snapped and found that his hand was opened, and before he could react, a shadow flashed in front of him, and a sharp pain suddenly came from the ribs in his chest.

"Ah...... I...... You're ......."

The ordinary-looking man clutched his chest, took a step back, and squatted down with his body hunched, tears about to come out.

Mao Ming looked at the other party's performance in a daze, and then looked at his hands, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

Just now he was completely frightened by this man, his mind was blank, and when the other party pushed at him, it was completely subconscious.

"Type 2: Stabbing?!"

Mao Ming looked at the fingers of his right hand, his fingertips were slightly red, and there was a faint pain, thinking back to Fang Cai's subconscious movements, as if it was the combat skills of the apprentice knight he learned in the game.

The apprentice knight's combat skills are a total of ten attack and defense actions, and he and Huang Da and Hua Yu Guan Xiong were pulled and practiced hundreds of times in each movement with Gusa in the game, and then in order to better exert his strong physical fitness when fighting monsters, he continued to practice.

Among them, the first type of sweep and the second type of stabbing are the first few movements, and he is extremely proficient, and he is only subconsciously moving, although the body is still a little jerky and unnatural to use, but it is a natural reaction after encountering various monster attacks during this time.

"Dare to do it!"

At this moment when Mao Ming was stunned, the tall man standing on the other side was a little surprised at first, and then raised his fist and hit Mao Ming.

Mao Ming's whole body was hairy, and he almost instinctively let go of the tall man's punch, but this tall man had obviously fought a lot of bad fights on the street, and after the punch was empty, he raised his foot and kicked at Mao Ming.

"Sideways! Back off! ”

At the moment when the strong man kicked over, Mao Ming seemed to be able to feel his brain giving instructions to his body to dodge, and he could tell that this kick was kicked towards his chest and abdomen, but unfortunately his body was like a classic car, and it was two beats slower than the brain's reaction, and he barely had time to let go of the position of his chest, and was kicked on the arm by the other party.

"Lao Kong, get him! Alas, I rubbed it, it hurt me to death......"

After the strong man kicked Mao Ming back a few steps, the man who had just been stabbed in the ribs by Mao Ming unintentionally with a knife eased a little, rubbed his chest and stood up, shouting loudly in his mouth.

Mao Ming was taken a few steps back, rubbed his left arm, which had just been kicked a little painfully, and looked at the two people in front of him who were about to come over and beat him again, and for some reason suddenly felt as if the panicked emotion in his heart had disappeared.

His heart became very calm, looking at the two people who rushed towards him, there was no fear, but a very normal feeling.

First, he sideways avoided the tall man's big hand grabbing his shoulder, and hit the tall man's chin with a backhand "Type 3 Counterattack" right hook. The jaw was struck, and the tall man was unsteady on his feet, stumbling and falling backwards.

And the man with an ordinary face who had eased up raised his right foot and kicked at Mao Ming, Mao Ming grabbed the other party's right foot with a snap, and suddenly lifted the man to the ground.

Seeing that the two people were put to the ground by him, Mao Ming didn't continue to step forward, ignored the bitter shouts and scolding of the two, turned around and ran out quickly towards the other side of the street.

After running all the way for three or four hundred meters, and turning two street corners, he slowly stopped.

His heart was pounding wildly, his face was slightly red, he had never fought with anyone since he was a child, but when he started to fight with someone just now, he didn't hesitate at all, everything seemed so natural and calm, as if it was ......

It's as if he's facing all kinds of monsters in the game......

The first time he entered the game, he panicked when he was confronted by the gnoll shop and bit at him, yelling and not knowing what to do.

But later, I saw more and fought more, and I had no fear.

This is not only because he has awakened the Transcendent Seed and learned the skills of the apprentice knight, but also because he has accumulated a lot of combat experience after facing various monsters such as Gnolls, Sawtooth Tigers, Brute Crocodiles, and Death's Fury.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a battle-hardened veteran.

Although his physical fitness is no different from before, his fighting consciousness is not at all the same as he used to be.

"Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Mao Ming's breathing gradually stabilized, standing on the edge of a corner street, looking at the street and pedestrian vehicles in front of him, as if he suddenly had a new perspective on the world.

"Why was I so scared before? What was I afraid of before? ”

Mao Ming stood there stunned, and after not knowing how long it was, suddenly a car horn woke him up.

He turned his head and saw the zebra crossing of the street without traffic lights, and at this moment, an old man with inconvenient legs was walking slowly and tremblingly facing the street entrance of the traffic.

A sports car seemed to be waiting impatiently, and the horn sounded twice in the roar of the engine.

"Wait a minute, horns are forbidden in the city, don't you know?!"

Mao Ming rushed to the middle of the zebra crossing in a few steps, yelled at the sports car, and then helped the old man to cross the zebra crossing.

In the old man's thanks, Mao Ming waved goodbye and left, walking briskly on the street with his head held high, with a faint smile on his face, as if everything was particularly pleasing to the eye.

Vaguely, he seemed to feel that something was more in his heart.

It's not just the apprentice knight's combat skills that he learned from the game, but a very strange emotion, which makes him no longer walk with his head down and bend over, but with his head held high and striding meteors.

Maybe that's courage!
