Chapter 1 A Courier
Ten years later –
"Tank, pull the boss away from the crowd and let the boss butt face us."
"Treatment, leave those rangers alone, let them fend for themselves, and give me a hard time to keep an eye on the tank."
"Mage, prepare to release the Starfire Shower, the boss is going to summon a mob."
"Okay, okay, that's it, it's time to get to the killing line, everyone has a big move for me."
In Chu Ge's room, he yelled into the microphone while controlling his character.
In the screen, the boss's HP steadily decreased, and finally ran out completely-
Lord of Darkness: "Do you lowly mortals think you can defeat me in this way?" It's naïve, one day I'll come back to this world, and when that time comes, everything will be gone in smoke - ahhhhhh "Boom!
With a brilliant explosion, this powerful Dark Lord boss was finally knocked to the ground by a group of greedy adventurers.
The adventurers who had survived the bloody battle suddenly cheered.
"Boss, you're too hanging."
"Hahaha, the first kill, the first kill in the whole server, boss."
"Boss, touch the corpse quickly, you must be red!"
And yet—
"Ahhhh Looking at the corpse of the huge boss who fell on the screen, and looking at the cheers in the team channel, Chu Ge couldn't raise his interest, but instead let out a lament in a long voice.
Although the game in front of him is actually quite good strictly speaking, and the boss battle just now is also exciting and intense, but there is no way to make him feel excited.
No way.,He's been playing this game for five or six years.,When I first entered the game, it was quite fresh.,It feels like everything is interesting.,But when the content of the game is gradually figured out.,When the expansion pieces appear one after another and go away.,When everything is reduced to data,The initial sense of substitution,It's completely gone.。
For him, the current game is just a constant accumulation of accumulated data, and even if it is the first kill of the whole server, it can no longer bring comfort.
Of course, he also thought about changing the game, but unfortunately, this is already the best online game on the market at the moment, and the other games will only get worse.
Chu Ge has also tried a lot of single-player games, but basically he can easily clear the level within a few days, and he can't provide him with much fun at all.
Easily gave the assigned authority to the deputy head of the regiment, Chu Ge quit the game, and then stared at the computer screen in a daze.
From a very young age, Chu Ge has inexplicably had a feeling that he is not an ordinary person, he is destined to experience a very thrilling adventure in his life, a magical and exciting experience, although he is very ordinary now, but one day, some magical things will befall him, and then start an extraordinary life, this feeling is very vague, but it has always existed in his childhood, the only question is, what is this magical thing, and when will it come.
When he watched Harry Potter, he often fantasized that one day he would receive an offer from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
When he plays World of Warcraft, he often fantasizes that he will one day travel to Azeroth and become a mage or paladin to save the world from danger.
When he reads those online novels of martial arts, immortals, fantasy, and alternate history, he often feels that maybe one day, he will really have the opportunity to travel into that kind of world.
However, people will eventually grow up, and as they grow older, they become more and more realistic, those fantasies about the unknown gradually blurred, and the inexplicable feeling that they feel very unusual begins to fade, and all that remains is helplessness and compromise with the real world, as well as a sense of resignation.
I'm just an ordinary person, living in the real world, destined to spend my life in the ordinary, and then, like everyone else, die.
This idea replaces all the fantasies of the past and becomes more and more realistic as I get older.
But occasionally, just occasionally, that vague feeling that he is not ordinary will still come out, although he has realized that this world is not so magical at all, but more or less, there is still some hope, can encounter some extraordinary things, but this hope brings some comfort at the same time, but also often torments him, so that he can not be willing to continue the ordinary and boring life.
"Ah, it's so boring!"
He couldn't help but shout.
However, this shout did not vent much of the depression in his heart, Chu Ge still had a lot of helplessness in his heart, why did he always feel that his life should not be spent so ordinary? Why do you always feel that those magical adventures are destined to happen?
Chu Ge hadn't had this idea for a long time, but today, like a traveler in the desert longing for clear water, he longed for such a thing.
His eyes suddenly saw a coin next to the keyboard, as if he had found something amazing, and his eyes were staring at the coin deadly, "Move, move me!" 】
He thought to himself as he stared at the coin.
Yet despite his wide eyes, the coin remained motionless.
Chu Ge refused to stop, he stretched out a hand towards the coin, as if he wanted to hold something up out of thin air [Move, please move for me, even if it's just a trace, God, Buddha, Sanqing, the will of the universe, no matter who is listening to my prayers, please give me a little response, just a little bit]
However, the coin was still motionless, gravity faithfully carried out its mission at this moment, everything was extremely normal, only Chu Ge himself was dancing at the coin like a psychopath.
Chu Ge sighed and gave up his futile efforts, sure enough, it still doesn't work, and sure enough, reality is reality.
He suddenly laughed to himself, he knew that the coin could not be moved, he had tried it countless times before, and the result had been different this time.
Shaking his head, Chu Ge was about to stand up and get himself lunch, when the doorbell suddenly rang.
Chu Ge walked to the door and glanced out of the door from the cat's eye, but saw a fat man with a stubble face holding a large boxy box in his hand, checking the address on a courier bill.
"Building 9, Unit 2, Unit 403, that's right," the fat man muttered to himself, ringing the doorbell again.
"Hey, it's a courier, but I don't seem to have bought anything online recently." Chu Ge thought strangely in his heart.
But he still opened the door, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Is it Mr. Chu Ge?"
"Uh, it's me, what's wrong?"
"We've got your courier here."
Chu Ge took the express delivery list and glanced at it, the sender Xie Tiantian? Thank you? Isn't that your uncle? He still remembers that when he was a child, his uncle would bring him a lot of delicious food every time he came to his house, and would tell him some interesting stories, and even bought him a PS game console that was a luxury accessory at the time.
It's just that one day ten years ago, after the last conversation between the two in the café, my uncle completely disappeared, and I don't know if he disappeared or what's wrong, why did he suddenly appear again today?
"Uh, okay."
While thinking about it, Chu Ge still signed for the package.
