Chapter 52: The Gathering

Cleaning up all the broken steel plates and residues, he was not in the mood to play the game again today, he originally wanted to buy another batch of new materials to recharge, but he decided to move first, thinking that Ouyang He was probably two streets away from him, he was a little restless.

Before his strength reached the bronze level, Tang Yi didn't want to meet this guy in reality at all, no, even if he really reached the bronze level, when he had to solve the contract problem, he would rather be in the game than reality.

After simply filtering the rental information on the Internet, Tang Yi immediately called the agent and made an appointment to see the time and place, and there were several real estate agents near the community.

In the next two days, Tang Yi followed the intermediary to look at the house everywhere, and now he has a lot more money on hand, and he is not as particular about renting a house as before, although he does not pursue how luxurious, but he always wants to make himself more comfortable, so it is inevitable to choose several more.

On the third day, Tang Yi finally found a house that satisfied him, a well-decorated one-bedroom apartment, clean and tidy, and it was in the suburbs, and the rent was not too expensive, although the price was that the transportation was not very convenient, but as a game otaku, Tang Yi rarely went out.

After signing the rental contract, Tang Yi began to pack up his things at home, but in fact, there were not many things he could pack, and the most valuable thing in the rental house was probably only this computer specially configured for games.

It wasn't until he was busy with all this and was about to move that Tang Yi received a phone call, it was his classmate in college, Zhang Jin. Strictly speaking, they are not classmates, not even one class, but just the same school.

The first time I met was in an online game that was very popular in college years, when their school opened a guild in the game, pulled a large group of alumni into the guild, and organized a copy of the group together, Tang Yi is the therapeutic profession in the team, and Zhang Jin is the main meat shield tank profession in the guild.

The combination of healing and tank quickly familiarized the two of them, and after a while, they were both surprised to find that each other's game skills were actually good.

"This tank is really awesome! The skills are just right! ”

"This treatment technique has the shadow of my original drift!"

The two almost inadvertently arose this thought, and as senior fans of the game, the two soon became friends who cherished each other, playing group copies together.

After graduating from university, Zhang Jin went to another city, and I heard that he had found a sales job, and the game gradually stopped being online, and then the contact between the two gradually decreased.

Connected to the phone, on the other end of the phone was Zhang Jin's familiar and somewhat unfamiliar voice.

"Tang Yi, guess where I am now?" Zhang Jin went straight to the point, and his tone was still very familiar.

Tang Yi was in a trance, heard the noise of pedestrians and vehicles on his mobile phone, and pondered, "You're not at home?" It's rare to remember to call me, have you come to me? ”

"Haha, that's right, I'm in the taxi to your place at this time, I guess I'll be there soon." The two chatted for a while a while ago, so Zhang Jin also knew that Tang Yi lived here.

"Why did you remember to come to me so specially?"

"Don't think about it, I don't have time to come to you. In the past two days, I came on a business trip to meet a customer, and I just finished my work during the day, thinking that you happen to live nearby, so I stopped by, how about having time to get together at night? ”

Tang Yi glanced at the somewhat messy room, the moving company that made the appointment would not be able to come until tomorrow anyway, he agreed: "Okay, I'll wait for you on XX Road, forget it, you get out of the car and send me a location directly!" ”

Hanging up the phone, Tang Yi temporarily put the troubles of the game behind him, remembering the college life of playing games together, he began to look forward to meeting tonight.

Half an hour later, Tang Yi and Zhang Jin found a barbecue restaurant and sat down, originally Tang Yi wanted to invite his old classmates to have a good meal, but Zhang Jin had a soft spot for the barbecue stall on the roadside.

I haven't seen each other for a few years, and the two of them seemed a little raw at first, but Zhang Jin quickly found a common topic: "The battle for the world came out of the nostalgic costume some time ago, have you played?" ”

The battle for the world is the online game that the two of them used to team up and struggle together for a long time in college, but after graduation, because the time is getting less and less, they basically stop playing.

"I built a number earlier, but I didn't play it when I practiced to more than 20 levels." Tang Yi also had some nostalgia in his eyes, he did go to build an account, but he didn't play for too long, firstly, he could no longer find the fun of the game back then, and secondly, because Lin Maoran found him later, he no longer had time to touch other games.

Zhang Jin sighed slightly: "I've been playing, but I have too little time to play, I'm tired to death from work every day, and when I come back at night, I have to help change the children's diapers and cook food for my wife. ”

"I think you're showing off to me."

After two years of occasional contact, the two are not too strange to each other.

Zhang Jin smiled a little proudly, but he didn't stay too long on this topic, the two touched the beer, and he was a little serious: "Are you still doing boosting recently?" By the way, last time you said that the local tyrant who made a big move, what was the origin? ”

Tang Yi, who had been kept in the dark before, once asked his friends if they had introduced him to this business, including Zhang Jin.

But Tang Yi didn't want to talk to Zhang Jin about this matter now, and didn't want him to be involved: "It's okay, after finishing this order, I'm going to go back to my hometown and do some small business." ”

"Tsk, it seems that I've made a lot of money recently, so you can have this meal today!"

"Nonsense, don't rob me."

"That's not going to work, I'm going to order it again, boss! Grab the menu! ”

……

The two gradually chatted more and more interested, for Tang Yi, after graduation, there was less and less contact with his classmates, although someone initiated two class reunions, but he resigned, it was rare to have someone sitting opposite him, chatting while drinking, which made his mood a lot better.

Zhang Jin misses his career as a copy of the group in college, but he understands that feeling can never be found again, Tang Yi can probably hear it when he speaks, since Zhang Jin's child was born, his life pressure has suddenly become a lot greater, and he has to force himself to meet more customers, which can make the monthly salary more beautiful.

Zhang Jin even asked Tang Yi half-seriously and half-jokingly whether the game boosting would make money, otherwise he would simply change careers, at least he could do a part-time job to earn some extra money.

Of course, Tang Yi didn't want to involve others anymore, the Dark Gate was very suitable for people who were short of money, but it was definitely not suitable for a man who had just had a child to play, he casually said a few perfunctory words and cut off Zhang Jin's thoughts.

The wine was drunk until almost ten o'clock, both of them were a little groggy, walking slowly along the side of the road to sober up, Tang Yi wanted to find a nearby hotel for Zhang Jin to stay for a night, but Zhang Jin resolutely refused, because he had booked a train ticket for the early morning, and he still had a bunch of things to do during the day tomorrow.

Tang Yi sighed slightly, and no longer delayed time, called a taxi for him, and waved goodbye, but he didn't know that the next time they met would be a few years later.

If it weren't for the game Dark Gate, maybe his life would be like Zhang Jin sooner or later, right?

Tang Yi sighed a little in his heart, and watched the taxi start slowly for a while, and he was ready to go home, and the moment he turned around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a right-turning motorcycle speeding towards him, the other party's speed was extremely fast, and he felt like he was about to take off, and it was too late to brake again.

With a bang, the motorcycle and the taxi collided.

Tang Yi paused for less than a second, then pulled out his legs and ran away.

His speed was extremely fast, and he could even go to the Olympics, but the anxious Tang Yi didn't notice this, and when he arrived at the scene, he looked full of mess, he took out his mobile phone tremblingly, and was about to dial 120.

A roar of engine starting came again, Tang Yi turned his head, and was surprised to find that the motorcycle rider who was also knocked to the ground had stood up at some point, and helped the motorcycle, turned his head indifferently and looked at it, without saying anything, started the car and drove away.

How can it be?

Tang Yi lost his mind, and when he wanted to stop it again, it was too late.

Looking at the motorcycle that gradually disappeared into the night, he couldn't help but shudder, and for a while he was completely stunned.

For the moment the rider turned, on his bare right arm, he saw a very familiar tattoo, a holy angel in chains!
