Chapter 834: Inhuman Traveler
This game is really going to change the sky.
Liu An walked on the streets of Qingshi, and sighed with great emotion, if it is only a small number of players who rebuild the characters, then the entry of a large studio is undoubtedly a heavy weight. After so many years in the gaming industry, although reluctant, Liu An must admit that the studio, especially the kind with huge financial support, has the power to influence the situation in the game.
That's right, Liu An is a professional player, if you have to divide it carefully, then he should belong to the group that doesn't mix well. Although with many years of game experience, it is not too slow to get started with this game, but the failure of several important tasks, so that his development progress is one step behind others, although his current level, in fact, it is also a group of players in the middle to upper class, but online games, can make money is only the top group, if you can't be in the first echelon, it is difficult to maintain a life.
Fortunately, now, a new opportunity is in front of him, as long as he re-establishes a role, he can stand on the same starting line as others, and it just so happens that the price of gold coins is still high, and he can sell this number of things, at least to ensure that he can have no worries about food and clothing for a certain period of time. With this new opportunity, Liu An believes that he will be able to mix it up, at least not like now, only a little better than those non-professional players.
Everything is so perfect, but why is this choice still rejected in my heart?
Liu An walked along the street, every fork in the road, every shop, he was extremely familiar, as a person who spent most of his time in the virtual world, this place was even more familiar to him than the real life community. He can even remember the tasks he has taken in the hands of each NPC, and can tell the good things that will be good at a good price in that item.
But it was useless, and he would go to a new place and start a new life in the future, and the information would lose its original value.
"But is there really no reluctance in my heart?" Liu An shook his head, even if he was reluctant, he couldn't change his choice, everything in the game was only virtual after all, and everything in front of him was just data. One day, he will leave here, and when the time comes, everything will be in the past, and all these things in front of him are really not worth mentioning compared to the pressure of life in reality.
"It's a bit deserted!" There were very few people on the street, and Liu An suddenly felt a little untouched, so he walked to the edge of a rock, sat down, and looked up at the willow tree above his head, which he had also looked at a thousand times, and at this time every branch of the willow tree was clearly reflected in his eyes. As players often say, Pangeria is a game that puts a lot of effort into useless areas. No two trees are exactly the same in this game, but who would stop and take a closer look at one?
If this is true of trees, why not of people? Liu An thought, everyone is different, but no one cares about these - although people are different, but the money taken from different people is universal, people invented money, not only to facilitate transactions, but also to the world independent and different countless human beings have been uniformly measured, since then there is no need to really understand a person, such an invention, how can it be said that it is not smart?
Anyway, I guess what's the use of all this? Liu An laughed at himself: I am not a philosopher, and no matter how much I think, I can't live my life.
Liu An sneered, and at this moment, a sound of footsteps came. Liu An turned his head and found that a boy with a snot was walking towards him.
"Uncle Andy." The boy came over and greeted Liu An, of course the two knew each other, in a mission, Liu An saved the boy's life, and since then, the boy has regarded him as a hero.
But who is the title "Uncle Andy" referring to? Is it me, or am I playing the role? The so-called knight Andy is just a virtual character, and this character is about to disappear.
"Uncle." The boy put his hands behind his back and looked up at Liu An, just like every boy, he also has a hero in his heart, and this is in front of him.
However, he may never know that the hero he thinks of is actually a failed person who is almost thirty years old and can barely support himself. The dividing line between reality and fiction is laid out in front of you, which may be the cruelty of the game, which gives you the glory of victory, the courage to face everything, the pride of dedication to others, the justice that you stick to your beliefs, and the heart that loves others and deserves to be loved and kind. But in the end, it tells you that it's all just a false dream, and you can't bring anything back to reality.
"Uncle, are you leaving too?" The boy spoke several times, and finally asked the question he wanted to ask.
"That's right." Liu An nodded, before this, he was still a little hesitant, but the appearance of the other party made him completely recognize the difference between reality and the game, and made him finally make up his mind to leave - he was Liu An, not Andy. If the other party can meet him at this time, then it can be regarded as a formal farewell.
Let Andy's character have a complete ending.
When the boy heard Andy's answer, there was a look on his face, but for him, this is also part of growing up, and people always have to learn to face separation.
"Uncle, where are you going, can I see you again?" The boy asked again.
"A far away place, I don't think we'll see each other again." Liu An said.
The atmosphere began to be silent, and Liu An secretly warned himself that even if the other party opened his mouth to keep him, he could not shake his decision, everything in front of him was virtual, and he did not need to change his choice because of a virtual character.
"......," the boy bit his lip and was silent for a moment before he spoke, "Alright then, but I have a gift for you." ”
"Gifts?" Liu An was a little surprised, he didn't expect that what the other party wanted to say to him turned out to be such a sentence.
"Hmm." The boy nodded, then handed something to Liu An.
"This is ......" Liu An took this thing and found that it was a small man sewn from coarse cloth, and on the body of the villain, there was also a colored wooden armor sewn on, although the craftsmanship was clumsy, but Liu An could vaguely see a trace of familiarity from this set of armor.
"It's ...... I? Liu An confirmed it repeatedly for a long time before finally saying the last word.
"That's right, it's Uncle Andy." The boy nodded.
"Why do you want to make a doll like me?" Liu An asked puzzled.
"Because ......," the boy choked up and forced a smile, "because Uncle Andy is the greatest hero, and if I make a doll like this for you to take with you, it will surely bring you good luck, and you will be able to overcome any danger you encounter." ”
"What kind of logic is this?" Liu An held the doll and wanted to laugh, but for some reason he couldn't laugh at all.
It's just a doll, not a valuable material, no collection meaning, and it can't be exchanged for a copper plate if it is thrown to the scrap collector.
Because in this world, this puppet is only valuable to one person, and this person is Liu An himself.
But how can he take the doll to the other side? Ask someone to transport it, or bury it and pick it up yourself? None of them are realistic. This puppet can turn everyone into good fortune and fortune in trouble, but it has just been born, and the fate that awaits him is only to be abandoned.
That's right, abandon! For some reason, his heart jerked at the thought of the word. Because he knows very well that what he wants to abandon is not just a puppet. He was also abandoned.
Liu An held the puppet in his hand, and felt that his thoughts, little by little, became clearer. The atmosphere was silent, and the boy looked at him, tears in his eyes, not knowing how to speak.
"Uncle, when are you leaving, will I send you off?" Finally, the boy broke the silence with a crying voice.
"I'm ......" Liu An opened his mouth for a long time before he spit out, "I'm not leaving." ”
Holding the doll in his hand, Liu An felt as if he had really gained some kind of power.
"Not leaving?" The boy looked surprised, but asked puzzledly, "Why didn't you leave all of a sudden?" ”
"There's too much luggage, it's hard to take." Liu An said with a smile.
The boy still didn't understand the meaning of Liu An's words, he didn't know that it was his own puppet that made Liu An really see his heart. It was this puppet that made Liu An realize that although some things are only meaningful to him alone, the existence of this meaning is genuine, just like this puppet called Andy, just like the character called Andy, those who belong to Andy's ease, courage, and integrity...... Perhaps, he will never be able to show it in reality, but this thing really exists in the heart of this person named Liu An! Because the knight Andy is Liu An himself!
How can one abandon oneself?
Since you have chosen your own beliefs, you must stick to them, even if you will lose an opportunity to make a great journey, even if you will miss a golden age everywhere. But so what? Choosing games as your career, of course, is because of your love in your heart, and if you destroy this love with your own hands, then what's the point of becoming a professional gamer? It's better to find another job, at least in the free time at work, Liu An still has the opportunity to come back here and be his true self.
