This is the end of the summer season, the round new lotus ripples slightly on the water surface, and the morning breeze brings a hint of coolness in the bright brocade lotus bushes that exude a quiet and fragrant fragrance. The distant skyline has quietly risen with golden clouds, bringing the prosperity and warmth of a new day to the earth. The early morning smoke shines in the lotus pond, which is like a dream, and it adds to the charm and grace.

There is a woman standing in the jade corridor by the lotus pond, green and young, with a cold demeanor, a graceful posture, ice muscles and snow, like a willow moon under the eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes quietly looking at the lotus pond, and the thin lips under Gao Tingqiong's nose are gently pursed.

She was dressed in a gorgeous plain blue brocade silk dress, with a tall and straight chest supporting the green lotus and red flowers embroidered on the placket, and a golden rope-shaped ribbon was lightly tied around her waist, revealing the tight and slender outline of the willow waist, and the sleeve collar was embroidered with golden cloud steaming patterns, like a hot melt structure, and like a snow condensation. The perfect blend of these two elements is obviously due to the fine polishing and repeated scrutiny of the costume design master.

The cold woman's beautiful black hair reached the back waist, gently scattered on her shoulders, and a few strands of softness fiddled in the silk morning breeze.

She is like a fairy who has fallen into the dust for nine days, not touching anything, not causing dust. The cold and cold emanating from the faint bones makes people secretly ashamed and discouraged. But people can't wait to stop her in their arms, and play with her wantonly after the cold beating is shattered.

There is a poem that says: Shi Xiao's smile is infinite, and it is like a beautiful flower. Don't come to think about it. A glimpse of the past, the golden lock of the small orchid room.

But the cold woman is not a sad person, nor will she open her lips slightly and spit out a melancholy and lonely poem.

She looked at the lotus pond, her slender jade hand supporting the stone fence in the corridor, and never spoke. But there was a lazy voice on the side.

"This lotus leaf lotus flower is also very beautiful."

The owner of the voice was a young man standing next to a cold woman.

He was wearing a simple black casual shirt, his eyebrows were slightly raised to his temples like a sharp sword, the starry eyes that rose up at the corners of his eyes were half lazy, and the lips under his upturned nose were faintly outlined in a beautiful arc. His expression was lazy, as if nothing in the world could arouse his interest. Although he is like a sword in the sheath, the hidden edge and the structure of the scabbard are enough to be ignored.

Hypocrisy, when did you like lotus leaves and lotus flowers?

The cold woman's face was full of waves, but she secretly pouted in her heart, she turned her head slightly, but what she saw was the young man's gaze looking at her chest, still with a lazy look, but with a trace of magma that can melt the gold stone, as if as long as the temperature rises somewhat, it can instantly reach the ignition point, and there is nothing left to melt the ice and snow in front of her.

Well, to put it simply, it's a touch of lewdness.

The cold woman secretly added in her heart, she frowned slightly subconsciously, turned her head and fell into the lotus pond again, and did not say anything. Eight years of acquaintance have given her a very sufficient understanding of young men, even more than the other party's own.

"This ghost weather of Huangshan Star." The young man was not annoyed by the cold woman's indifference, and there was no feeling of heat in the courtyard, but he sighed lazily, and smiled at the Yiren beside him after speaking, "Fortunately, the second fort is about to be completed." He spread out his hands, "At that time, there will be a comfortable ecological environment within a radius of 100 miles." ”

Didn't you wantonly let the energy company explore and mine the thermal energy crystal ore, causing the temperature of Huangshan Star to fluctuate unpredictably?

The cold woman's cold gaze looked at the man, but it was not facing his face, her eyes fell on his chest, looking at the black monotonous casual clothes, Sakura's lips opened lightly, and she said irrelevantly, "Zero will come over tomorrow." ”

Her voice was as cold as her charm, cold and cold, but unhurried, and every word was very clear.

The smile on the young man's face was sluggish, revealing that lazy demeanor, and he suddenly said: "By the way, if you are not interested in the game, you should not enter the "Chopping Doom" in the past few days. ”

Although he didn't say who the "we" were, the cold woman knew it in her heart.

Misfortune? The four major powers jointly issued a statement before, ordering everyone in the nine star fields to force the trial of the virtual online game?

The statement of the four great powers pointed out that "Chop" has a way to make people stronger, and it is a game that is also entertaining but can improve human beings, and has an unparalleled effect on the coordination of the human body, especially the improvement of mental power. There are even reports that exaggerate that this is the second era of human evolution since interstellar migration.

There is always a story behind this, and the words of the person in front of her made the cold woman feel that there is more behind this story.

Virtual systems are no strangers to cold women, and they are an emerging product that can ignore the venue and people and greatly improve physical combat workouts.

In recent years, this technology has eliminated nuclear kinetic energy and made a qualitative leap forward after using foreign energy as the power core.

Intensive combat training for all mankind in the form of a virtual online game does seem to be a feasible solution.

For young men, the cold woman almost never asks questions, although in the past few years, she knows that as long as she asks, she can basically get answers. Of course, in fact, more often than not, in recent years, young men have made their own arguments. This time, apparently, is no exception.

"Maybe it's harmless, but I don't like you," he paused in his lazy words, and then smiled at the cold woman, "Especially you, the feeling of being watched by someone other than me." ”

The hazy answer did not satisfy her, especially this flattery with a strong sense of encroachment.

"I'm going to check the patrol." Spit out a cold and cold word, and the cold woman ended this empty conversation of three words. As she spoke, leaving the young man with a back that was not swaying but looking extremely capable and resolute, she moved out of the porch.

There was no anger on the young man's face, or even in his heart, but he watched the cold woman go away, and then a lazy look appeared on his face.

A few fragrant winds hit behind him, and four women with respectful looks appeared, their eyes were half-closed, their eyes were lowered, the older one was about twenty years old, and the younger one was twenty-eight years old, wearing well-fitting blue-green, pink, plain white, and silver-gray four-color women's suits in turn.

"What do you say, what's going on in her heart?" The young man withdrew his gaze, propped his arms on the stone railing, half-leaning and half-leaning, his eyes fell on the lotus pond with a beautiful glow, looking at the half-tilting lotus leaves.

He didn't ask a direct question, and there seemed to be only four women in suits behind him in the silent courtyard.

The young man seemed to be asking the four women, but the four women still respectfully did not say a word. Among them, the longest one who has been serving the person in front of them has been more than ten years, and the shortest one is four years.

The silence of the courtyard was silent for dozens of breaths, and the morning breeze carried the fragrance of lotus flowers around the courtyard.

The young man straightened up, looked at the lotus pond in the beautiful environment, stretched his waist and walked out of the corridor, and the four women followed suit, no matter how fast or slow the man's steps were, their steps were unusually consistent with the man in front of them.

Although the lotus pond courtyard is good, he is not a person who cherishes beautiful scenery, and he does not know how to appreciate lotus, nor does he like the morning breeze.

……

Outside the lotus pond courtyard, there is a flower garden full of exotic flowers and plants, and several gravel roads wind up the route of the flower garden. Along the way, the young man walked through the flower beds, suddenly stopped, and the four women behind him also stopped instantly, without any sense of abruptness.

The young man's lazy eyes fell on the roses on the flower bed, which had not rained last night, but those flowers bloomed in the morning light, and the petals stained with fine droplets of water were delicate.

A few steps past the flowerbed, on the grass, there are several simple sheds made of vines and green leaves, and a few wooden swings under the sheds.

He withdrew his gaze and slowly swayed out of the flower garden.

Out of the flower garden, the vision suddenly changed, a silver-black steel fortress like a mountain towered in front of you, covering the sky and the sun, towering into the clouds, when you look up, people feel dizzy, like a prehistoric giant beast that devours everything, crawling there, black armor, although it does not show its fangs, it is enough to make people not have a trace of resistance.

The young man didn't stop as a door opened in front of him in a wall of steel glowing with a forest. He walked onto the inner platform, followed by the four women.

The platform began to rise gradually as the five people stepped in, and then stopped. In the young man's line of sight, there was a bottomless passage, there was no clutter in the passage, and the four walls were smooth and flat, and although there were no lights, they shone orange-yellow.

He stepped out of the platform, but suddenly a rectangular door appeared silently in the passage on the right, and the door glowed with a blue ghost, making it impossible to see the details inside, and a woman in a black suit walked out of the door.

The woman in the suit looked about thirty or forty years old, her short hair only reached her ears, she had no heavenly appearance, her facial features were only mediocre, but her flawless skin made her not ugly, her figure was slightly plump, and she wore gold-rimmed glasses with a cold light.

She took a few steps on the soles of her feet and made the sound of her heels stomping, walked up to the young man, and bowed slightly.

"Take a couple of virtual connections and send them to my room. In addition, the device is distributed to the employees on the outer layer. The inner layer is not allowed to be used without my order. The young man commanded lazily.

The woman in the black suit didn't say anything, straightened up and twisted around, and the rectangular door opened on the wall again. She stepped inside, and the door then closed, leaving no trace of the smooth, flat wall.

The young man took a few more steps in the passage, and then the rectangular door silently opened on his right, glowing with a blue glow, and he stepped inside, followed by the four women.

The inside of the rectangular door is still a passage, and the walls on both sides of the passage, the soles of the feet and the ceiling above are all exposed to plain blue streamers, and the glass is shining, which is pleasing to the eye. On both sides of the wall, you can see four green, pink, plain white, silver-gray doors, without the strange mystery of the orange-yellow passage outside, but quite like ordinary people.

The young man walked to the end of the passage, which seemed to have no door but quietly opened, and he went straight inside.
