At the end of the day, Zhao Nuo instructed Jian Tong and the three of them to take a taxi back, and then drove Xia Xiaoling to the "secret base".

"Are you sure it's over here?" Looking at the increasingly desolate scenery on the side of the road, Zhao Nuo asked again.

"Uh-huh, here it is, it's almost there."

Xia Xiaoling, who was sitting in the passenger seat, opened the window and stared at the sparsely populated street outside the window without blinking.

If Zhao Nuo remembers correctly, her home should be in Dongcheng District, but now they have come to the most desolate area of the entire city, the outskirts of Beicheng District.

The area is already relatively backward, and the recent "haunting" has caused many residents to move out, making it even more desolate. The current Beicheng District is completely incomparable with the other three districts.

"Is this the school you're talking about?" Zhao Nuo looked at the wooden signboard of "Shentian Elementary School" on the right side of the road, and always felt that this ominous name seemed to have been seen in some game.

"Well, it's about five hundred meters further on." Xia Xiaoling nodded.

After driving about 500 meters from the school gate, Zhao Nuo followed Xia Xiaoling's instructions and turned the car into an alley with poor lighting.

Before the car could stop, Xia Xiaoling had already jumped out of the car and ran quickly to a pitch-black iron door in front of her.

"This is my secret base!" The girl, who is the leader of "Hellfire Entertainment", has a smile of unknown meaning on her face.

As she spoke, she took out a silver key and inserted it into the keyhole of the black iron door, making a "click" sound.

"Is this the house you rented?" Zhao Nuo also stood in front of the door after locking the car.

"Well, even my father doesn't know about this base."

Xia Xiaoling easily pushed open the iron door, and the two walked into the courtyard together.

Due to the darkness of the sky, this courtyard is slightly gloomy. Zhao Nuo looked around through the dim moonlight. There was a gravel-paved path leading to the gray two-story house in front of me.

In the black dirt on both sides of the path, a few small flowers bloomed here and there, and near the wall on the right-hand side, a bare cherry tree was planted. It is slightly higher than the low courtyard wall.

"How's that, isn't it beautiful?" Xia Xiaoling proudly crossed her feet and made a gesture of "please come in": "Welcome to my paradise." ”

"Isn't it a secret base? How did it become a paradise again? Zhao Nuo complained as he followed the girl to the building in front of him.

Xia Xiaoling stood in front of the dark brown wooden door of the building, and took out the key to open the door.

Before entering the door, the dust on his face made Zhao Nuo cough:

"It's been a long time since this place has been cleaned."

"I haven't been here for half a year. What's wrong? Xia Xiaoling asked suspiciously.

"Nothing." Zhao Nuo decisively stopped the topic, and at the same time curiously observed the scene in the house:

The layout of the living room looks simple, with only a coffee table, a sofa behind the coffee table, and a wall facing the sofa. Hanging flat-screen TV.

The walls of the entire house are wrapped in pale pink wallpaper, adding a touch of life to this slightly old house. However, the appearance here is still very different from Zhao Nuo's previous guess, borrowing a common line from puzzle games, "There is nothing to care about in this room".

"This is your secret base? Why don't you even have a computer? Zhao Nuo was a little disappointed.

"It's all on the second floor, come on." Xia Xiaoling said and walked briskly up the stairs facing the door.

"You're too defenseless, aren't you?"

Seeing that the girl had already gone upstairs, Zhao Nuo smiled helplessly. Go back to the yard and lock the door from the inside, then close the door. Then he quickly followed.

Walking into the room on the second floor, Zhao Nuo's eyes lit up. The original feeling of boredom was suddenly swept away:

"Not bad."

Unlike the first floor, which is divided into several rooms, the second floor of this building has only one large room, and as for the furnishings inside...... Zhao Nuo didn't know how to describe it, but he felt a sense of "going home".

The layout of this place is similar to the cabin I rented before, and it is almost full of all kinds of game consoles and CDs, as well as ...... Incredibly rich in Cheng dù's game peripherals.

is really worthy of being a local tyrant. Compared with Xia Xiaoling's collection, Zhao Nuo felt that his peripherals were simply not worth mentioning. Whether it's quantity or quality, it's all completely crushed by this guy's collection.

"Not bad, right?" Xia Xiaoling said happily. Leaned back on the dusty leather couch next to him.

"Great." Zhao Nuo gave her a thumbs up.

Faced with this kind of house that can be called a "lifelong dream", Zhao Nuo, who is a deep game house, is naturally excited, and observes Xia Xiaoling's collection everywhere, and soon finds a target of interest:

"Is this Resident Evil "Licker" model sold? I can buy it for a good price. ”

Zhao Nuo recognized at a glance that the thing was an out-of-print treasure, and when he wanted to buy it, it had been discontinued in Japan, and the remaining few pieces were all bought by others, and he regretted it for a long time at that time.

"I'll give it to you." On Xia Xiaoling's beautiful little face, a smile that can be described as "pure" appeared.

"Huh?" Zhao Nuo didn't react for a while.

"I'm here to thank you, you can take whatever you want here, it's okay." Xia Xiaoling said seriously.

“…… Isn't that good? Zhao Nuo was a little unhappy, but he was still holding the licker model in his hand.

- Now he feels like picking a reward after completing a game. In the face of this kind of reward level, naturally no one will refuse.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to continue making the game now, so I want to thank you, really." Xia Xiaoling narrowed her eyes and laughed.

"Then I'll take this one." Zhao Nuo shook his hand with a long tongue sticking out his hand, and the terrifying-looking "licker".

"Uh-huh."

Seeing that he finished choosing, Xia Xiaoling also stood up immediately, picked up a black shell PS3 next to him and walked downstairs, and connected it to the flat-screen TV on the first floor.

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Nuo asked.

"I felt very unwilling to lose to you last time, so I asked my brother, and he said that as long as he continues to challenge you, it will be fine." Xia Xiaoling turned on the game console and put a disc in her hand.

“…… You're saying you're going to keep challenging me here? Zhao Nuo set his eyes on the basketball game interface on the screen.

Xia Xiaoling nodded, clenching her little fists as if she was cheering for herself: "I will defeat you this time!" ”

"Ha, I really didn't expect you to be serious about this kind of thing." Zhao Nuo smiled.

In the last arcade battle, he had already seen Xia Xiaoling's terrifying game strength, this guy not only knows how to develop games, but also has strong and scary skills in playing games. But......

It is such an opponent that is more interesting for him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Nuo stood up and stretched his limbs, then caught the handle thrown by Xia Xiaoling, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly:

"Then come on, let me see your true strength."

In the "secret base" in the wilderness, the brutal duel between the two game nerds begins.

The first game in which the two played against each other was NBA-2K, and after a fierce duel, Zhao Nuo won by a narrow margin.

But he didn't even get any chance to rest, so Xia Xiaoling changed to another football game and started the second match.

Looking at the French team on the screen, which was controlled by Xia Xiaoling and was bombing her own restricted area, Zhao Nuo smiled slightly, and already understood her intentions:

"Do you want to drag me down through the continuous fighting? It's naïve. ”

- Although the girl's concentration is beyond imagination, Zhao Nuo knows that he is also "talented" in this regard, to be exact, he has practiced it after playing games for a long time.

Therefore, if there is to be a protracted war, it is not certain who will win and who will lose.

In this way, the two relied on various games to spend the whole night......

Until the next morning, the battle between them was still ongoing.

"Really. Shenglong Fist! ”

On the screen, the "Gang Fist" wearing a brown cloth coat used a special move, and killed the ghost who couldn't dodge with one punch, and Zhao Nuo won the game of "Super Street Fighter 4".

"Are you going to keep fighting?" He asked Xia Xiaoling, who was sitting next to him, questioned.

Although he can continue to persevere, he still feels that going to sleep now is the right choice, he has to help the old guild of the Black Hand at eight o'clock tonight to open up a copy, and it is the first time to contact online games, it will be bad if the chain falls off by then.

"......" Xia Xiaoling remained uncharacteristically silent.

"What's the situation?" Zhao Nuo looked at the girl beside him in some surprise, and couldn't help laughing after two seconds:

"What are you kidding, is this your hidden skill?"

- Xia Xiaoling, who was still fighting with herself half a minute ago, has maintained the posture of sitting on the ground, holding the handle and falling asleep.

Zhao Nuo gently pushed her shoulder, and the girl fell to the ground softly as if she had been pulled out of her bones, but her white little hand still held on to the handle.

"If you want to sleep, go sleep on the couch over there, stupid."

Zhao Nuo tried to make her let go, but found that Xia Xiaoling's hands holding the handle were as solid as steel, and even if it was herself, she couldn't pull a finger at all.

In desperation, he had to unplug the other end of the handle, then picked up the girl and gently placed it on the couch in front of the TV.

"Hoo ......"

Looking at Xia Xiaoling, who was sleeping fragrantly, Zhao Nuo took a deep breath, and then ......

Taking her black blouse from the side and draping it over her gently, he sat back down in front of the TV and continued to play the game.

- He was going to sleep, but when he looked at the time, it was already ten o'clock. If you sleep, you'll definitely miss the night's dungeon reclamation event. In this case, I can only use the "forced game" skill that I used to use in the past.

For a seasoned game nerd, staying up late is too easy. (To be continued) R655
