Chapter 3: Phantom Martial Arts Hall
Although Qin Liang was reluctant in every way, he was finally dragged by Wu Wei to the martyr's cemetery. Of course, the premise of coming is that Qin Liang's dinner Wu Wei has a bag, and it must be the kind of rich demon beast meat.
More than 70 years ago, an unknown wormhole appeared in the Milky Way, and countless monsters poured out of the wormhole, almost exterminating humans. Humanity worked together to unleash all combat power, including nuclear weapons, and finally drove out the demon beasts. But after the war, the earth became no longer familiar to people, and monsters were rampant.
Compared to ordinary domestic animal meat, the meat of demon beasts undoubtedly contains more energy. Therefore, the meat of the demon beast is very expensive, and in Qin Liang's memory, it seems that only when his sister, who has become a special enrollment, comes back, he can feast on it.
"I said that you are not a starving ghost reincarnated, you have eaten three servings here, and you are not afraid of dying." Looking at Qin Liang's left and right bows, Wu Wei had a look of resentment on his face.
Hand-grabbed lamb chops are a delicacy in Chinese recipes, which is deeply loved by the majority of meat foodies, and Qin Liang, who also likes to eat meat, is naturally no exception. However, this hand-grabbed lamb chop is obviously not ordinary mutton, but a demon beast grass antelope.
Although it is a grass-eating demon beast, its strength has not yet reached the standard of a first-class demon beast, but it is more powerful than an ordinary wild antelope, and the meat quality is also delicious. But the price is not just higher, but doubled. Qin Liang had already eaten Wu Wei's pocket money for a week after killing three hand-grabbed lamb chops, and if he continued to eat it, Wu Wei's pocket money for the next week would be overdrawn.
"You're too stingy, let's invite you to eat dragon meat another day." Qin Liang reluctantly put down his hand and called the waiter to come with another one.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that he is really full, but looking at the resentment on Wu Wei's face, he still decided to give up the part he wanted to pack and take away, otherwise Wu Wei would have to fight with him.
"I was stingy with you, I just dragged you to the martyr's cemetery, and you slaughtered it so ruthlessly with a knife, I really don't know how you suddenly became so edible with your small body?" Wu Wei paid the money, and glanced at Qin Liang's three hand-grabbed lamb chops with some doubts, and his belly was only slightly bulging.
"What do you know, this is not to be seen, and the belly is not to be measured." Walking out of the hotel, Qin Liang stretched his waist and looked comfortable, "Is there anything else, I'll go home if it's okay." β
"It's not even seven o'clock in the evening, why are you going home now?"
"Sleep." Qin Liang said as a matter of course.
"I said you've just had a holiday and you're so lazy, you can't do anything else?" Wu Wei glared at Qin Liang a little speechlessly.
"I can't do anything else now, I haven't got the qualification certificate of a junior rune master yet, and I can't find a job, can I do anything other than sleep and eat?"
The so-called junior runemaster's qualification certificate is not obtained and he can't find a job, but it's actually just an excuse. What Qin Liang has to do recently, eating and sleeping are the most important, and Qin Liang has gained a lot from one night in the martyr's cemetery. Therefore, eating to replenish energy and sleeping to digest this energy is the best way to practice at present.
Of course, there are better cultivation methods, but those all cost money. Qin Liang has no money now, and he has parents who can't run into the wild for ten days and half a month and don't come back to find materials by himself. In addition, I am not in a hurry at the moment, so I chose this most secure method.
"Then you can't waste yourself like this, come with me to the Phantom Martial Arts Pavilion tomorrow to practice well." Wu Wei looked at Qin Liang with some dissatisfaction, feeling that his brother was too decadent.
"I want to go to the Phantom Martial Arts Pavilion too, but I don't have the money." Qin Liang shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly.
The Phantom Martial Arts Pavilion is a unique entertainment venue of this era, similar to an Internet cafΓ©, a 100% virtual game, and a combination of the three forms of the Runemaster's classic formation Phantom Array. You can play against other players in the Phantom Gym, and although it is only a projection of fighting against each other, you can exercise the reflexes of your brain. All the battles in the phantom array can be realized in reality.
Qin Liang had wanted to go to this place for a long time, but he was shy in his pocket. The consumption of the Phantom Martial Arts Pavilion is not something that anyone can afford. Some children from good families, just because they have so much combat experience, are not obtained in actual combat, but accumulated through the Phantom Martial Arts Pavilion and other players.
Of course, because you won't really die in the Phantom Martial Arts Pavilion, you don't have the kind of tenacity that you have sharpened on the edge of life and death. However, although it is a bit of a fly in the ointment, it is much better than practicing stupidly against a stake alone. And the consumption in the phantom array is the same as the consumption of exercise in reality, so that the purpose of exercise can be better achieved.
************************************
"Why are you looking at me like that?" In a large-scale Phantom Martial Arts Hall in Hanyang City, Wu Wei looked at Qin Liang with a puzzled expression.
"Come and tell my brother if you have some terminal illness, so you want to lose your wealth before you die. Actually, you don't have to go so far, just give me all the money. Qin Liang took a step back and looked at Wu Wei carefully.
"You're terminally ill, don't be, don't give me back the card."
"How can there be any reason to take back the things that were sent out, do you think it is possible for me to spit out the fat in my mouth?" Qin Liang dodged Wu Wei's scramble and asked very seriously, "Is there really nothing?" β
"Don't worry, if you're dead, I can't die." Wu Wei glared at Qin Liang angrily.
"It's okay, you're inviting dinner again, and you have something to do with me to get a membership card, so I don't have good intentions to doubt it." Seeing that Wu Wei's appearance was not like a joke, Qin Liang had a smile on his face, and walked upstairs with his arm around Wu Wei's shoulders.
"I said you kid can't guess the good place?" Hearing Qin Liang's explanation, Wu Wei rolled his eyes.
"I've thought about the better, if I have a terminal illness and die soon, I will definitely buy all the money to buy dark coins, gold ingots, papier-mΓ’chΓ© cottages and so on, and burn them to prepare first. I won't invite you to dinner, please come to the Phantom Martial Arts Pavilion, the meat will rot in your own pot, you are already very tall compared to me. β
"Why hasn't it changed for a few days, and your boy's mouth has become so poor?" Wu Wei looked Qin Liang up and down, as if he felt that his brother was a little strange.
"Isn't this the end of the exam to finally be free, after being suppressed for so long, I naturally have to release it, otherwise it will become a mental illness."
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to take care of you kid, I've become chattering lately. But I really can't stay with you for a few days. β
"Are you really terminally ill and dying?" Qin Liang's eyes widened.
"Fuck off, Lao Tzu is in good health, but you have a terminal illness." Wu Wei punched Qin Liang in the chest, and then said with some reluctance: "The university will start in a month, and the students will go over a month in advance to receive military training, and I will also prepare in advance, how can we play with you when the two of us are not in the same city in the future?" β
"You scared the hell out of me. I thought you really wanted that. Qin Liang breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I will live well without you, if you are really not at ease, send me half of your monthly living expenses, I will definitely raise myself for nothing." β
"Come on, you, I'm in college, and my dad said that he will control my finances, and he won't give me a dime except for the necessary tuition and living expenses. I want to spend money like this and earn it by myself, and I want to see if you can find a job and get a salary to help me with a few dollars when you get the junior rune master qualification certificate. β
"So miserable?" Qin Liang looked at Wu Wei with a sympathetic expression, "It's okay brother, when the time comes, I really don't have any money, and two steamed buns and a cup of boiled water can make up for a meal." If you're really unbalanced, I have another solution. β
"What's the solution?"
"Take advantage of your Lao Tzu's lack of financial control on you this month, spend more, and make up all the money you will spend in college in the next few years, if you can't spend it alone, call me, I'll help you." I like to do such good people and good deeds. β
"Fuck off."
Wu Wei pushed Qin Liang.
"Alright." Qin Liang stepped forward and patted Wu Wei on the shoulder, "Aren't you just going to college, and you're not going to the battlefield, don't you see you when you come back for the New Year's holidays." β
"Aren't I afraid that if I'm gone, you kid will be bullied?" Wu Wei was a little emotional.
The two have been classmates since elementary school, Wu Wei's family background is very good, Qin Liang's family background is average, but I don't know why Wu Wei likes to play with Qin Liang. It is often said that husbands and wives are destined, and sometimes brothers are like that.
The two of them hooked their shoulders into a box, and several pairs of strange ** eyes made the two of them get goosebumps all over their bodies, and they hurriedly separated and closed the box door.
"You haven't played this before, do you want me to take you?"
There are two instruments in the box, and the seats are similar to those of a space battleship, with a helmet on them.
"Don't you go play yours, I just went in and was a rookie who didn't have anything, I'll go and play the machine first, you play yours." Qin Liang waved his hand.
Although he had never been in this Phantom Martial Arts game, Qin Liang still knew the general thing. Phantom martial arts games are divided into two types: battle and exploration. The former is the type of solo or team confrontation between players and players, which is the same as the familiar battle push tower game in Qin Liang's mind.
In the latter, the player becomes an adventurer, alone, or in a team to explore and obtain resources in an unknown area, which is a bit like fighting monsters and upgrading in a virtual game. And Qin Liang was not interested in either of them, he came to the Phantom Martial Arts to test it.
That's right, it's a test, there is no difference between the production of Eagle Eye Talismans and the game of gods and demons, and some things in the final exam are also very similar to those in the world of gods and demons. Even the effect of going to the martyr's cemetery last night to use the mourning for the dead is exactly the same as in the game of gods and demons.
Therefore, Qin Liang wants to test whether this world is the same as in the gods and demons games except for the absence of a game panel. And Phantom Games is a good testing platform.
