Chapter 20: Neighbors
"Is that her?" , Ye Yichen was stunned for a moment, and then passed the friend application.
Soon, a private message was sent: "Excuse me, are you a veteran player of Frost and Order?" ”
Frost and Order, respectively, in recent years, the largest and most innovative online games, namely "Frost City Wall" and "Road of Order", but also the first two generations of holographic online games developed by the company "Void Network", which developed the Barren Era, unlike other Internet companies, each online game developed by Void Network has a close connection, and they only operate one product from beginning to end, for example, the Road of Order is a game built on the Frost City Wall, just like the development of the times, and it continues continuously.
Coincidentally, the two games that Ye Yichen chose at the beginning were "Frost" and "Order", like the previous president of the Xingtian Guild, he also met in that game, but he didn't use the ID he used before this time, so there were fewer people who recognized him.
Faced with Sanshui Ruxin's question, Ye Yichen did not answer positively, but replied with two words.
"How?"
There is no statement, there is no refusal, but you can easily take the initiative in your hands, if the other party has good intentions, then it will naturally answer positively, if it is hostile, then directly drag it into the blacklist and pull it down.
There was silence in the chat box, as if the person on the other side was thinking about something, and after half a minute, Sanshui Ruxin's letter - one - this - read - novel {y}{b}{d}{u} before sending it again: "Hmm...... Excuse me, are you a casual player or a guild player? ”
Ye Yichen smiled slightly, this time the situation is clear, I think it is to win over or recruit people, right?
After thinking about it, he still decided to tell the truth, so he replied to a "scattered person".
"Oh, okay, I see, looking forward to working together again."
This time, Sanshui Ruxin's reply was terrible fast, as if it was an automatic reply set in advance, no matter how Ye Yichen answered, it was this sentence, in fact, this sentence was indeed universal.
After speaking, Sanshui Ruxin's avatar went black, obviously offline.
Seeing that the other party was offline, Ye Yichen was speechless for a while, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he opened the system menu and chose to go offline.
……
The pointer on the wall had gone to the place where it was almost thirteen o'clock, Ye Yichen turned out of the game warehouse with his body propped up, and found that the sunlight outside was a little dazzling, so he walked over and closed the curtains, only to find that this room was actually made of ink style curtains, when he first saw it, he thought it was black and white stripes, but now when it is fully unfolded, he can see that this is a huge black and white ink painting, with fine workmanship.
The pattern on the curtain is a flying dragon composed of light ink, coiled between several peaks, because the curtain itself is not the kind of material that completely blacks out, so there is a slight light penetrating the curtain, so at a glance, the ink dragon seems to be floating in mid-air.
"Huh?" , Ye Yichen's body was suddenly stunned, and he reached out to touch his chest, and the badge that represented his identity and status in the Assassin League was taken out by him.
The dragon motif used by the League of Assassins is fundamentally different from the traditional Oriental dragon, not the five- or four-clawed golden dragon that represents absolute power, but the "water dragon" with a lower status in the dragon race and a low origin.
In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the water fly actually refers to the poisonous snake, the so-called "five hundred years into Jiao, Jiao thousands of years into a dragon", refers to this creature, it does not have dragon horns, the body is more slender, it looks less majestic and domineering, but there is more of an indescribable mystery and weirdness.
The image of the water fly is rarely used by people, because its origin as a poisonous snake makes people feel unliked, and even the use of "snake" as a metaphor for villains is also a common thing, the water fly of the Assassin League represents the mystery of its whereabouts, the ruthlessness of its attack, and the concealment before the dragon really becomes a dragon.
However, the ink dragon shape on this curtain is actually a water dragon!
This made Ye Yichen very puzzled, such an unpopular pattern was still used, which greatly surprised him.
After thinking for a while, he couldn't think of a reason, Ye Yichen turned around, put the badge back on his neckline, and then turned around and walked to the kitchen, his diet has always been quite regular, regular to the extent that it has become a dead habit, today is already an exception, he even tried to use lunch by the way when carrying out the goal, of course, this is someone else's opinion, in his opinion, sometimes it is just to solve the goal by the way when using lunch.
"There's nothing at all!" Ye Yichen looked at the empty cabinets in the kitchen with an unhappy face, and complained, "Doesn't this homeowner prepare something to eat at home?" ”
With a stunned face, he took out a pack of lemon tea from the refrigerator, Ye Yichen sighed and inserted the straw into it, and walked out of the kitchen while drinking.
Now there are three options in front of him, the first, go out to eat, the second, go downstairs to buy groceries, and the third, order takeout.
After a long hesitation, he walked out of the room.
Half an hour later, Ye Yichen appeared in front of the elevator door with two bags of ingredients, he was very resistant to fast food, probably thanks to the brutal training years, during which his only consolation every day was probably to talk about a few hours of sleep and the delicious food that could make people swallow their tongues.
After getting used to eating that quality of food, he couldn't stand the taste of other restaurants at all, and it was okay to fill his stomach once in a while, but if he had to eat it for a long time, he really preferred to go on a hunger strike.
When the elevator door was about to open, a voice suddenly came from the gate: "Ah! Trouble wait a minute! ”
Ye Yichen turned his head, but saw a figure carrying a plastic bag and wearing a long skirt running over in a hurry.
The figure walked into the elevator quickly, smiled embarrassedly at Ye Yichen, who helped hold down the door opening button, and thanked him.
Ye Yichen nodded twice, his eyes swept over the body of the visitor, but he was slightly amazed, thinking that there were really a lot of beauties in this building, but after looking at it twice, he put his eyes away.
This long-haired beauty with Qi bangs walked two steps and wanted to press the floor button of the elevator, but at a glance, she found that the button on the 5th floor had been pressed, and immediately looked at Ye Yichen with some surprise, so she seemed to remember something, and asked, "May I ask you...... Is it 504? ”
Ye Yichen thought about it carefully, and immediately recalled that the person in front of him seemed to have seen it in the morning, that is, when the delivery man knocked on the wrong door, she seemed to live with the two girls in the morning, they were all from the game studio?
After getting a positive answer, she showed a very quiet smile and said to Ye Yichen: "When we met for the first time, I live in 503, and we are neighbors!" ”
As she spoke, she said again: "This morning, I really bothered you to help them carry such a heavy thing." Naturally, they were referring to the two girls who carried their things upstairs in the morning.
"Little things." , Ye Yichen didn't keep his face calm, smiled slightly, and said.
The girl with Qi bangs looked at the bag in Ye Yichen's hand, and said curiously: "Do you cook by yourself?" It's late. As she spoke, she pointed to the bag she was carrying, which was full of fast-food lunches, and said, "We lazy people have no choice but to eat these!" ”
Ye Yichen pulled his mouth and said, "I just played the game too much, and I couldn't get used to eating things outside, so I just made it myself." ”
As he was talking, the elevator had reached the fifth floor, and Ye Yichen pressed the button and signaled the other party to go out first.
"Playing games? Barren Age? The girl smiled as she walked out, "How about it, you should be a master, right?" ”
Ye Yichen also smiled, and said in a rather teasing tone: "I just entered the game this morning, what do you say?" ”
He didn't tell his horrific achievement of one hour more than others' three days, but told a "lie" that was the truth.
"Haha, I can take you when I have time!" , The girl smoothed her bangs and said to Ye Yichen, "Just take it as a thank you gift for helping, oh yes, my name is Wenzhu, the bamboo of bamboo, if you need help, you can come and knock on our door." ”
"Ye Yichen." , the other party said his name, and Ye Yichen also reported his name, but it was a fake name on the ID card.
After the two chatted a few more words, Wen Zhu took out his key, opened the door quickly, and stuck out his tongue when he got in: "Little brother, we will come to you for dinner if we have a chance!" With that, he closed the door.
Ye Yichen smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then opened his door.
There were no ingredients in the kitchen, but fortunately, there were all kinds of kitchen utensils, pots and pans, and they were all clean, and after a while, the enticing aroma of food wafted out of the kitchen.
Because of what happened just now, Ye Yichen didn't want to go out too much, although he was confident that he didn't expose any information, but there was no harm in being cautious, so this time he had bought enough things, and he could squat in this house for two weeks and a few more days.
"Oh yes...... This dish is still hot. Ye Yichen looked at the food on this table and felt that something was missing, so he took out a box of hot food that had been prepared from the bag and put it in the microwave.
At the same time, in the Moonmark Studio opposite 504, it was a different scene.
"Sister Miao, let's not order fast food from this restaurant in the future...... How to eat this! The girl with short hair and known as "Xiaoxi" looked at her obviously mushy meal with a sad face, and couldn't get off the chopsticks.
Su Miao looked at her miserable lunch, sighed, shrugged her shoulders, and said, "There are no more instant noodles at home, why don't you order something to eat anymore?" But if it's called now, I'm afraid it's already three o'clock in the afternoon. ”
However, at this moment, a loud "boom" sounded, and several girls in 503 jumped up in shock, and all four of them looked at the door in horror, looking at each other speechlessly.
