Chapter XXVIII. Offline Communications
The experience of living in the manor was not too bad, but it was not very good. ∈ ↗ the top novel, the hay-stuffed linen mattress was barely enough, but Barrett dropped out of the game as soon as it got dark. Emptying the nutrient solution, he stepped out of the game pod naked, and then slapped the wall on his left hand side. Then I saw a reversal on the wall, and Barrett, who took out a towel from it, finally regained his real identity at this time, and simply wrapped his body and went into the bathroom.
"Tick-tock" thick drops of water hit Su Chen's tightly closed cheeks, and the water that shot out from all directions hit the ground, hitting the glass, playing a unique and soothing movement. Su Chen, who still had those currents of water washing his body with a unique vibration, also took this opportunity to move his muscles and bones.
Immediately afterwards, Su Chen frowned directly: "This feeling, there seems to be something wrong!" Dolly did a full body scan to check my physical condition. ”
"Make the master!" The glutinous electronic sound sounded, accompanied by red light sweeping back and forth on Su Chen's body. Then, in less than 1 minute, the smart computer reported Su Chen's physical examination report: "The owner's physiological indicators are normal. Muscle density decreased by 0.005% and cell activity decreased by 0.0015%...... Although the owner's fitness data has decreased slightly, it is still well above the average of the health department, so don't worry too much. ”
"Bang!" Su Chen, who punched the wall, spat out: "Sure enough, the effect promised when the game cabin was launched was to be discounted a little!" What health care function, what will not affect the health of citizens, it seems that it is just a propaganda slogan! ”
"Smack-" Su Chen, who snapped his fingers to stop the flow of water. The door of the bath room with dry and wet separation was opened. Draw in a soft towel from the outside. Although in this day and age more people have long been accustomed to it. After washing, use the built-in air-drying function of the bath room to dry your body. But I don't know when Su Chen fell in love with the feeling of natural knitwear wiping his skin.
After Su Chen woke up, this aspect really increased a lot of expenses, after all, in this era, the price of natural knitwear is far more expensive than those synthetic fiber products. And the extra extra washing and drying also increased the cost of living for him as a "reserve technician" to some extent – even if it was so minimal.
Dressed in crisp clothes, he stepped out of the door of his apartment, the hallway outside which was far quieter than it had been in months. Since the start of the operation of the game "Diarra Continent", the living area where Barrett is located has some indifferent interpersonal relationships, and it seems to be divided by an invisible force.
Although there are not many players like Barrett who don't have to wait outside for the second generation. But even those citizens who have been unable to log in to the game for the time being have changed their lifestyles as a result - it seems that the attraction of credits is not much worse than that of money in classical times.
After walking into the restaurant and expertly ordering a set meal in front of the vending machine. Barrett came to the table and waited quietly for the moment when he filled his temple. Although the food in the game can constantly stimulate Barrett's taste nerves, because of the mission, Barrett has to rely on unleavened bread with a very poor taste to satisfy his hunger many times.
In contrast, the food in the apartment restaurant, although it looks the same because of the machine, is indeed the best combination carefully selected by the supercomputer in terms of taste. Feel the soft and flavorful beef tendon slowly melt on the tongue coating, and feel the taste buds stimulated by the marinade composed of 23 kinds of spices. If the same taste wasn't repeated every day, it was a Michelin-level treat in classical times.
However, the taste buds that had already been dulled by this could not convey any joy to Su Chen. After hastily solving the package in front of him, he returned to the apartment and clicked on the communication option of the smart computer. But then Su Chen's raised arm stiffened in mid-air, and at the same time, his expression became very hesitant: "Should I send them a message or not!" Is it really good that everything in the virtual world is involved in reality? However, since they gave me the communication account, they are naturally prepared for this. But ......"
Stand in front of the only remaining membrane between reality and virtuality. Barrett, who doesn't know if he should break it, hesitated - in fact, because of the previous employment contract, Barrett's real identity should not be too much of a secret in front of the two female tycoons. And Rielly and Laru, who are close to them. I'm afraid it's not difficult to confirm that Su Chen is Barrett's controller!
"What should come is coming back after all!" Su Chen, who shook his head, finally clicked on the communication key given by Rielly, and wrote in the message to the other party, "How are you doing now?" Is it still within Boreham's reach? ”
In the game Diarra Continent, it is very difficult for both natives and players to communicate remotely. In a world where post offices and post offices are only a few areas, not even carrier pigeons can guarantee the safety of letters. However, with the player's current identity and strength, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to get a convenient and effective curiosity.
Not only are SMS scrolls expensive, but the limit of twenty-five words or less, and the high failure rate of players using spells at this stage are even more frustrating. Not to mention the Wind Channel, which has a communication distance of 1 mile per caster's level, which can only be effective when you have to keep your companions nearby. The only thing that seems to be more effective is that there are only a few mages who can master it, but even fewer who can make it into a strange "communication sand table".
For Barrett characters who are unable to cast spells, the only way out is to find the right curiosity. But Diqila's lettering paper could not transmit messages in both directions, and as for the double-sided mirror, Su Chen did not dare to hope for it. On the contrary, in the reality of extremely convenient communication, it is far more convenient to contact through offline means when you don't know where your companions are in the depths.
But just when Su Chen looked at the time, ready to lie down for a while and fight it again for three hundred rounds. His ears suddenly remembered Schubert's serenade. Tapping his watch, he was about to see what the letter was. But the voice of the guy who advanced to Rieli made Su Chen's eardrums vibrate.
"Barrett! Have you completed your advanced quest? The woman on the other end of the instant messenger directly used Su Chen's character name in the game. Obviously, he is deliberately avoiding the identity of a single person in reality.
Although he couldn't see anyone, Su Chen still showed a knowing smile. I saw him look at the watch in his hand and say, "That's right! The advanced quest has been completed. Although the profession has not changed, the two special abilities obtained are indeed worth all the previous efforts. ”
"Isn't it an advanced class?" Rielly on the other end heard a slightly surprised voice.
Su Chen raised his wrist and lay down on the big bed behind him: "According to the earl, for me, it is not a very good choice to choose an advanced career too early. So I feel like my path to advancement may be dragged down to the leap from level 10 to level 11. ”
"But obviously I didn't get an advanced class, but I had to go all the way to complete the task. Barrett, don't you think that's a bit too tricky? Rielly's voice came from the microphone.
Su Chen didn't mind this: "After we meet, let you take a look at my newly acquired ability, and you will know that the trouble is just a small problem." ”
"Wait! Wait! According to Barrett, even if you don't choose an advanced class. If you want to cross the watershed of level 5-6, it seems that you have to complete a specific task? Rieli's voice on the watch instantly rose a lot.
Su Chen, who heard it as if he felt the tingling of his eardrums, raised his hand and tapped it on his watch a few times, and Rielly's voice was immediately transferred to the snow-white ceiling. Then Su Chen took off his watch, held it in his hand and said, "There should be no restrictions in that regard!" At most, it may have an impact on the abilities you gain after leveling up. Of course, if it's an advanced profession, I'm afraid that in addition to early preparation, that level is also indispensable. By the way, I'll tell you, according to the latest news I have received, I am afraid that the promotion from level 10 to level 11 is not just experience. ”
"I've been worried about this for a long time. Level 11 is called an exemplary level in the game! If there are no obstacles set up in this level, it will be strange! Rielly said as a matter of course.
Su Chen, who felt something when he heard this, immediately asked, "Listen to what you mean!" It seems that during my absence, I was cheated by the system! ”
As soon as the words fell, Su Chen heard the sound of a torn cloth from the ceiling. Not long enough, Rielly's voice came again: "I just forgot to turn on the option of sound filtering, I'm really sorry to let you hear a little noise!" ”
"It doesn't matter. I'm more concerned about what happened to you during my absence. "I don't have to confront Rielly's possible fangs and claws. Su Chen asked without any scruples.
"Forget it! Even if I don't talk about it now, you'll be able to get news from a few other people when we meet. After a pause, Rielly continued, "It's not a big deal, it's just a bit of a Native caravan." Not enough as a retaliation, I did something with their cargo as I left. Guaranteed to surprise them when they find out. ”
Hearing this, Su Chen didn't even lose his temper: "You guy won't get into any big trouble because of this!" Do you need me to rush to you to help with the aftermath after I've completed the handover? ”
"You can rest assured Barrett in this regard, although I am the one who came up with the idea, but it is the noodle boy who did it. He's a pro at that. It's definitely not going to be so easy to be caught. Accompanied by Rielly's confident words, there was the sound of a palm colliding with fat.
Su Chen, who was obviously relieved, warned him: "Don't think that if you shoot the noodles, everything will be fine." Know that some special spells can still be used to point out what you have done before. Moreover, some brutal caravans do not need to pay attention to any evidence, in order to recover losses or even just revenge, it is possible to overshoot those who they feel are suspicious. ”
"So after leaving the caravan, we set off again very quickly. Now, even if their people want to come to us to trouble, I'm afraid it will take at least 2 days to travel. By then, we'll already be on to the next location, and there's no way they'll be able to catch up. Rielly said proudly.
Su Chen, who touched his chin, sighed: "I hope that this lesson can make you learn a little bit." But by your ears, it seems that a few of them are not in the sphere of influence of Bolim Lords now! ”
"Got it! When you return, Captain, we will be sure to cooperate with your plan. You pointed to the east, we don't dare to face west, you said that we will never catch chickens when you hunt dogs......" After Rielly's assurance fell into Su Chen's ears, he seemed to find that there was not much sincerity in it.
Barrett, who sighed again, shook his head: "I hope you can do what you say!" Now to answer my question, where are the few of you? ”
"If my calculations are correct, it will probably be tomorrow that the few of us will be able to return to Shafir City, where we first met." Immediately after that, Rielly suddenly emphasized, "Barrett, you don't need to come out to find us, just wait for us in Poitu to rush back for the round." ”
Although Su Chen couldn't see Rieli's expression, he could also feel the other party's panic: "You won't get into any trouble now, don't dare to say it!" ”
"Nope! Absolutely nothing! Rielly emphasized.
Su Chen also raised his voice a little at this time: "In that case, Miss Rieelly, do you dare to open the video and let me see your current expression!" ”
"You're a slippery head! I want to take this opportunity to see my true face. I'm not going to let you get away with it! Rielly, having found a suitable interface, immediately hung up.
A Barrett, who had turned over, shook his head: "Forget it! Wait until the game to find out what trouble those guys got in during my absence! Wait a minute! It's all because of Rieli's interruption, and I actually forgot the most important thing. I haven't had time to inform them about the effects of long-term use of the game pod on the human body.
