In the corner of the game room, a square game warehouse is lying quietly in the corner.

The game compartment is approximately 1.5 meters wide and 2.5 meters long and 1 meter high, and is placed flat in the corner of the room. The overall shape resembles a coffin made of obsidian, with gold and silver patterns all over it. These patterns crisscross each other to form a rectangular open space, on which there is a series of numerical codes, and the blue numerals with a cool light occupy the middle position, which is very striking against the background of the pattern and the black base plate.

"Huh~~~~."

With a long, steam-like sound, the lid above the compartment opened to both sides. A figure slowly stood up against the edge.

This person is Zheng Ming. Due to the several "death" states experienced in the fighting game before, coupled with the high-intensity combat, it was a little mentally exhausted at this time.

Four days have passed since he got on the spaceship, and in the past few days, Zheng Ming has spent all his time except eating and resting in this fighting game. After continuous familiarization and training in that virtual spiritual world, Zheng Ming quickly comprehended some basic combat skills from the beginning of the battle, and the training strengthened his ability to make quick judgments in fleeting battles.

In short, it has become more and more familiar with the state of combat that it should be in through this game. At the same time, it has also collapsed and quit after only experiencing "death" once at the beginning, and has become the habitual "death" of today.

Of course, all of this is not without a price. Every growth will be accompanied by pain, due to the pain of "death" in the previous game, its expression is constantly changing when it stands in the game warehouse. Sometimes hideous and painful, sometimes indifferent and indifferent, sometimes hearty.

Time passed quietly, and it stood in a trance for a while before finally coming back to its senses and returning to its normal appearance.

With a twitch in the stomach, there was a gurgling sound in the abdomen. Obviously, it didn't consume physical energy, but a strong feeling of fasting came. Zheng Ming stroked his stomach and walked out of the game warehouse.

The automatic door of the game room sensed that it was close to slowly opening, and the scene in the hall unfolded. An unexpected figure caught its eye.

This is a huge and sturdy back, sitting on the sofa with his back to it, slowly sipping tea, and after hearing the sound of the automatic door, he put down the teacup and looked back at Zheng Ming without hurry.

"Uncle Allen? Why did you come to me when you were free? ”

Even if he had given the other party permission to enter the room when he checked in, Zheng Ming was still very surprised by the appearance of the other party. After that day of conflict, a thorn was planted in the hearts of both sides.

Although Zheng Ming said that the attitude taken by the other party is reasonable, it is impossible to say that there is no trace of mustard on both sides. So of course, both sides have a tacit understanding of estrangement from each other, and they have not even been alone in the past few days after entering the spaceship.

"You're out? I'm here to talk to you about something. ”

"Oh. Long waiting. When did you come? Just let the smart housekeeper wake me up. ”

"It didn't take long. Besides, I don't have anything important, and it doesn't get in the way to sit and drink tea. ”

Speaking of which, the two sitting on the sofa facing each other fell silent. Zheng Ming saw that the other party didn't open his mouth to explain his intentions and didn't ask, but instead invited the smart housekeeper to order some food.

"A nutrition package No. 5, an energy package No. 7, and ......"

At this point, Zheng Ming remembered that there was another person next to him who turned his head and asked, "Uncle Allen, what do you want to eat?" ”

"Oh. I'm done. Don't give me some. ”

"That's good. Bring me another Nutrition Package No. 10. ”

"Okay. One nutrient set for No. 5 and No. 10, and one for each of the No. 7 energy package. Please wait. ”

Seeing that the intelligent butler robot turned around and left after taking the order, Alan said: "Speaking of which, the food in the dining area is more abundant and delicious, if it weren't for the fact that you have been closed, I would have called you when I went before." ”

"I think these packages are just good. After all, I am the identity of eating for nothing, and if I ask for it again, it will seem a little shameless. ”

Quiet, polite, respectful, but not happy, happy to talk about. Anyone could see the estrangement between the two sitting across the coffee table on the sofa.

Alan Pilson whispered as he picked up the empty teacup that was set aside, "I'm sorry for what happened that day. The team hired me to deal with unexpected conflicts, and I can't get the team in trouble because of yours. ”

"I told you before that you don't have to feel guilty. There's nothing wrong with the choices you've made. I can't thank you enough for taking me to Starland for free. I will definitely repay you in the future. ”

"What to talk about in return? Your Aunt Yun asked me to take care of you, these are all things I should do. If you have any advantages and shortcomings that day, I am really ashamed of your Aunt Yun. ”

"You've taken good care of me. There is nothing you should do for me, one yard is one yard, Aunt Yun has a friendship with you, it doesn't mean that I shouldn't be grateful. ”

At this point, the two were speechless again. Alan Pilson raised his head and looked at Zheng Ming deeply. This child, who obviously has a beautiful and immature appearance, is far more unpredictable than some adults.

Alan Pilson picked up the teapot and poured a cup of steaming tea, then pushed it in front of Zheng Ming, refilled a cup for himself, and then continued to speak.

"I guess I'll be in Star's Landing City tomorrow. We will stay in Starlanding for a few days before heading out for other cities. The purpose of my visit is to ask you if you want to follow us when you enter the city. ”

Hearing Alan Pilson's words, Zheng Ming's expression moved, he lowered his head and picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, and after thinking for a while, he said softly: "I don't know what your specific itinerary is after entering the city?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just to follow the caravan to sell and buy goods. Although the security of 'Star Landing City' is very good, there will not be any life-and-death struggle, but there may still be some disputes. ”

"Then I won't disturb you and the caravan's trip."

This is Zheng Ming's decision after weighing the pros and cons. Although it may be more convenient to follow Alan Pilson and others, Zheng Ming still feels more comfortable alone. Moreover, looking at Alan Pilson's reaction, it seems that he also agrees with Zheng Ming's departure. Otherwise, the other party would not have sat opposite Zheng Ming at this time. If the other party wants to carry it all the time, there is no need to come to it and talk about it.

In this way, the tacit two sat quietly opposite each other, each sipping their own tea. Just as Zheng Ming was in a daze as he looked at the handsome face reflected in the burgundy tea at the bottom of the teacup, Alan Pilson drank the rest of the tea and stood up.

"Now that I've said that's all I have to say, I won't bother you. Don't wake up too late tomorrow. It may be in the morning. ”

"Okay. Uncle Allen walks slowly. ”

"No need to send it."

After Alan Pilson said a word to Zheng Ming, who wanted to get up to see him off, he turned around and walked away unusually simply. Zheng Ming, who was halfway up from getting up, sat back on the sofa again and slowly picked up the teacup.

On the tea water that ripples in the teacup, Zheng Ming's thoughtful face is reflected, constantly changing with the rippling water...
