Chapter 11 Preparation for the Preliminary Round

On March 14, 2021, in some places, this festival, known as White Day, is also considered a well-known public holiday, although the origin of this thing is unknown, there is no story, and in terms of customs, there are still great differences in different places, but this does not prevent its popularity.

If anything, it's probably because of the instinct of human reproduction, which makes humans think that the more things like Valentine's Day, the better. Think about it, Valentine's Day, White Day, Tanabata, First Meeting Anniversary, First Confession Anniversary, First XX Anniversary...... All in all, as long as it's for the sake of reproduction, no matter what day it is, humans can find an appropriate excuse.

That's not the point, though.

In general, White Day is a response to Valentine's Day, no matter where it is. This year, of course, was no exception - it was no coincidence, but Mr. GM just liked this kind of dispensable little fancy.

"Yo! Happy White Day! ”

"Three hours later, the preliminary round of the world's No. 1 martial arts meeting is about to begin. Same as the qualifiers, the preliminary round adopts a big scuffle, a single-elimination format. In order to facilitate the communication and contact of the contestants and speed up the progress of the competition, each contestant will be provided with three GPC teleportation opportunities after the start of the competition, so please be prepared. ”

"Well, everyone who can hear this news is the one who has successfully advanced to the preliminary round, because the total number of people is thousands, and it is also very troublesome to read the list, anyway, you just need to know it yourself. Let's start preparing now, and in three hours, the game will begin. Hmm, does it need to be highlighted? If an NPC teammate dies, the player is immediately disqualified, and this does not change. ”

"Okay, without further ado—well, no, no, I talked about scores before, right? If I forget this stubble, some people will be disappointed. Well-wait a minute-okay, now you can check your score in your mind, and in an hour, the mall system will be opened, so stay tuned, everyone. ”

In the darkness of nothingness, Lin Qing's figure was a little thin - of course, no one could see it in this darkness, but even just listening to his voice as he muttered could make people feel that his will was quite depressed: "Hey-should I say that he is worthy of being a demon?" Even here you can ...... It seems that the words that said that he was a high-ranking creature that day were not just blowing......"

"Hey—may I ask, what are you talking about?" Lin Qing's cellmate is similar to the original.

"Uh- nothing. Let's continue our discussion of the topic we just had. Lin Qing replied half-deadly, "You said that you finally became the master of the thief door by chance, right?" Well, then, your original hot senior sister also became your apprentice, right? And then you two do you have - wait a minute! ”

"Of course—what?" The cellmate was about to talk about the romance he had been laying for a long time, but he was frightened by Lin Qing's sudden shouting, and he was stunned for a while, "What's wrong?" Are you finally crazy? ”

Lin Qing didn't pay attention to his cellmate, but just muttered in a low voice: "That guy, just said that White Day is coming?!" It's been a month! it! it! it! ”

"Twenty-nine days, eight hours, and thirty-two minutes have passed since you came in, to be exact." Although Lin Qing ignored it, the cellmate still kindly helped Lin Qing correct the ambiguity in his words, "Count the heartbeat, don't you do this?" ”

"I don't have that habit, and I don't think Xiao Jin will come to see me in a few days......" Lin Qing bit his lower lip, and then smacked his lips, "And after losing my physiological needs, my physical time is completely disordered...... Tut. ”

"Got an unplanned situation? Little crook classmates? The cellmate sounded very happy.

To illustrate here, after learning that the other party was a heinous criminal, and later learning that this guy was a thief - that is, a thief, Lin Qing set himself up as a liar full of lies - although he was more or less that kind of person in the first place. Scum who feels about the same level is always more likely to have a sense of closeness than between scumbag and good people.

Then the two of them began to talk nonsense, smugly and complacent about the crimes they had committed in the past.

All in all, after telling the legendary story of his ups and downs in crossing into the magical world, relying on his extraordinary mind and rhetoric, as a commoner, he was favored by the eldest lady of the Eisen family, and was only one step away from marrying Bai Fumei to the pinnacle of life, at least on the surface, the relationship between the cellmate and Lin Qing became very close.

"From the moment I came in, my plans basically collapsed. Actually, I understand. Lin Qing let out a long sigh, and finally asked a question he had always wanted to ask, "If there are only two of us here, the punishment of life imprisonment seems to be rarely used, and it is very serious...... Is it really just the two of us here? ”

"No, a lot." The cellmate replied to Lin Qing's words, "When I came in, there were at least two other people, and then one after another, after coming in, there were at least fourteen or fifteen people, including you. The reason why it was just the two of us who were talking all the time was because many of them had a nervous breakdown, and their vocal organs were damaged, and they couldn't speak—well, some of them were probably dead. There are very few people like you who are still so sober for a month. ”

"Very well - so I'm relieved. This - a prison cell? It's not just the prisoners who have been arrested in our world. Lin Qing showed a satisfied smile, "The next thing you need to consider is the way to get out of here." ”

"There are so many people -- didn't you say that 'life imprisonment' is used very infrequently?" Lin Qing pretended to be casual and said, "What? You've seen fourteen or fifteen people since you came in - at least, that's pretty low? ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" The cellmate let out a sinister laugh that was not commensurate with his rough voice, "Little liar, you don't need to trick my words in such a low-level way. We're going to live here forever, together -- for a long time. I have nothing to hide from you, just ask and I'll tell you everything. ”

"Of course, as you might have guessed, I've been here - well, I don't know, I mean, when I first came in, I wasn't in the right place to time it and I wasn't in the mood to do that. In short, at least, it's been a few hundred years. ”

"Roar......" Lin Qing let out a long voice that was a little weird, "Before asking why you have been able to live for so long, can I ask, why are you so skilled?" ”

“…… Sorry, what? The cellmate thief was stunned for a moment.

"I mean, I came first, obviously I came first—no, just kidding." Lin Qing played a stalk that others couldn't understand, and when he looked at others with a bewildered look, he seemed to have a very strong sense of pleasure, "I want you to say that you saw Bai Xue directly kill someone in the book." Anyway, I mean, why do you speak Mandarin? ”

"Mandarin - is that the language you use? Just by the name - has the language of that world been unified? When I went, it was just someone trying to unify the text. The cellmate sighed, "What do you say?" Vicissitudes, right? Anyway, I've studied your language, and it's slightly different from the one you use, but I've listened to you've said that-what do you say? After a chapter-long monologue, you basically understand the differences. ”

"The book is the same as the text—it's wonderful." Lin Qing muttered and smacked his lips, "The language at that time was not as simple as 'slight differences' from now, you old pervert." ”

"No, except for a few words of unknown origin, the biggest difference is that the discourse has become long and complex, and the vocabulary - right? Vocabulary, moreover, points more concretely. Again, there are a lot more two-syllable words. The cellmate laughed cheerfully twice, "It's not difficult, trust me." ”

"Very good, very good...... Lin Qing read two sentences and pressed his temple, "Well, Uncle Thief, I know that we no longer have physical needs, but, after knowing that I haven't slept for a month, I feel very sleepy now." I understand it's just psychological, but can you just leave me alone? I hope to try it out if I can fall asleep. ”

"Of course, although I never succeeded." The cellmate laughed a few times, "I hope that when you 'wake up', I can still have a pleasant conversation with you who are so sober." You see, I haven't been like this for a long time. ”

"Ah...... I'll try my best......"

…………

"Calm down, calm down, okay? Yellow - Ahem, I mean, Golden Libra. Xiao Cang pressed his temple, revealing a painful look, "Let's repeat, you, sentenced Lin Qing to 'life imprisonment'." And now, no matter where you are, you can't find him? ”

Golden Libra nodded silently, his eyes a little red.

"Ah...... I said I couldn't get in touch. Xiao Cang held his head in his hands, looking very headache, "In short, that is to say, now that the preliminary round is about to start, Lin Qing, as your collaborator, has lost contact, you are in a hurry, right?" ”

"It's not!" Golden Libra slammed the table, stood up, and shouted loudly very excitedly, Xiao Cang, who had never seen her like this, was so shocked that she almost fell to the ground, Golden Libra stared at him for a while, turned his head aside, lowered his head and sat back silently, "I, always, not online." Until now......"

"Uh-" Xiao Cang didn't understand what Golden Libra wanted to say, but he obviously felt that Golden Libra's state was wrong, so in order not to overstimulate her, Xiao Cang pretended to understand something, and groaned.

"Hello, second-in-command." A golden eye opened behind Xiao Cang's ear, and the voice of the two-color ball sounded softly in Xiao Cang's ear, "You haven't contacted me for a long time, haven't you?" ”

"Hey—shouldn't you be looking for clues about Lin Qing?" Xiao Cang covered his mouth and whispered.

"Hmm~ This way, déjà vu, should I say that I am worthy of being a brother and sister? Hey. Second-in-command, you are really relieved of me, and my sister, who doesn't even want to let the Dark Forest see me, is so relieved to leave me alone. The voice of the two-color ball seemed to be complaining, "Of course, of course I was looking for a clue from the forerunner, didn't I find it now?" ”

"......" Xiao Cang frowned slightly.

"No, it's not that I want to spy on you, Your Excellency Second in Command." "You, like a lot of people, have been put in a special position by me - like the special attention in the chat app, and that's as it should be, isn't it?" Otherwise, I probably won't be online when you look for me. But ah, but, you can't stop the funny thought of 'I'm an intruder,' I mean, you're like a bastard who keeps sending me window vibrating, I don't want to pay attention to you. ”

"Of course, now is not the time to talk about that. Your sister, well, I don't know why I'm upset you, but I'm going to send her back and team up with Thunderfire for this tournament. "As for the Precursor -- we don't seem to be of much help now, are we?" ”

"Golden Libra, do you have-do you have any clue? Can it be released by Lin Qing? Xiao Cang threw the two-color ball aside, wanting to fight for Lin Qing, "It's like-didn't you let me out at that time?" ”

Golden Libra shook his head violently, then raised his hand a little panicked, and wiped it on his face: "Life imprisonment, it's different." ”

"Oh oh, oh, this is crying~" The two-color ball chirped a few times, "I really like the appearance of the forerunner." What an unfortunate fellow. ”

"Shut up!" Xiao Cang lowered his voice and shouted, then coughed twice, "Uh, Golden Libra, I don't think you need to be so excited. Uh-huh-I mean-uh-"

Xiao Cang was halfway through speaking, but he stuck his lines, and the head of the golden balance was buried even lower.

The two-color ball gloated a little and said, "Hey-screwed up, didn't you?" Second-in-command? Comforting others is a very difficult thing to do. First of all, you have to make the other person understand that you are comforting her. Second, do you want to use yours - caring, kindness, or love? to oppress her and make her pretend to be redeemed. This kind of thing is too difficult for you. ”

"Don't mention that you're looking down on me, you can also be comforted like this?" Xiao Cang covered his mouth again.

"Hah!" The two-color ball laughed happily, "The so-called comfort is just an act of forcing the person concerned not to show the unlucky appearance of ruining his mood as a passer-by who has nothing to do with himself." Or else? Let the other person forget all the sad things? Or to stop the other person from feeling sad about it? That's not comfort, that's called brainwashing, okay? Don't joke about the second-in-command, people feel joy from the bottom of their hearts when they lose someone they love? Haha, if you really think that, that's really -- that's interesting. ”

"Goo-" Xiao Cang felt that the words of the two-color ball were very wrong, but he couldn't find the words to refute it.

"Hehe, I understand, I understand, second-in-command, you're still not convinced. You just want them to feel better, right? Even if it's just to make yourself comfortable, it's something that everyone is happy about—oops, that seems a bit jarring? The two-color ball seemed to be very interested, and said very energetically, "Anyway, I'm here to help you." ”

"This kind of rhetorical work, whether it's me or the forerunner, you have to be more professional than the second-in-command, right?"

"Okay, I mean," Xiao Cang spoke in a deep voice and pressed the shoulder of Golden Libra as requested by the two-color ball, "Listen, Golden Libra, this matter is not as serious as you think, trust me." ”

Golden Libra raised his head and looked at Xiao Cang with eyes that didn't know whether it was hope or despair.

"Ahem." Xiao Cang coughed, "Think about it, that guy Lin Qing—"

"After all, it's just an NPC, you don't have to take it seriously, do you?"

Golden Libra's eyes suddenly widened, and he stared at Xiao Cang with a bewildered face for a few seconds, then shook his head with a strange expression and disappeared in place.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! What kind of line is this! Xiao Cang exclaimed.

"Oh, take it easy, second-in-command, you're doing well." The golden eyes opened in front of Xiao Cang, and there seemed to be a bit of banter, "I've said it all, haven't I?" There is no point in comforting, if you don't just want to make yourself comfortable, offer practical help. Now that you've done your part, I'll leave the rest to me, and you can go and prepare for the preliminary round. ”

…………

In the dark room with the thick curtains closed, a golden eye shone brightly.

"Hey, Dead House One—you want me to call you that? What do you think? ”

"What do you say? Brother Lu was arrested? Dead House No. 1 pillowed his hands, crossed Erlang's legs, and whistled, "Hey, you're not serious, are you?" Who is that guy? He's the main character. Before he fought a villain like me, there was no problem that could really stump him. Hmm-do you think that when that Lori is in danger, she suddenly appears to save the world, isn't this appearance very cool and very protagonist? ”
