Chapter 38: The Apex
Although it is now a battlefield, when the wind blows, it is as beautiful as a paradise.
Ye Ci squinted at the sky, in the gloomy sky, it seemed to be cracked, and light shot out from the cracks in the clouds, illuminating the surrounding dark clouds with a bright light, soft and golden light, it was a kind of contrasting beauty, a kind of beauty of alternating light and darkness, a kind of beauty born out of a cocoon, so beautiful that it was dazzling.
Ye Ci sat on the rock opposite Liunian, squinting into the distance, as if he had turned into a statue. And Liu Nian looked at her quietly, as if the noisy war in the distance had nothing to do with him at all, of course, in fact, in Liu Nian's opinion, these battles really had nothing to do with him, and the reason why he was sitting here was just because of Gongzi You.
After a while, Ye Ci suddenly said without a beginning or an end: "I met Naga." โ
These words really came out very suddenly, very beginningless, and even made Liu Nian, who had been watching her intently, slightly stunned before reacting to what she was saying. He blinked, then curled the corners of his mouth, and said to Ye Ci again: "And then?" โ
"And then?" Ye Ci finally withdrew her gaze from the clouds in the distance, quietly looked at Liu Nian attentively and calmly, and then she put her hand on the corner of her lips, bit the middle finger of the pair of gloves that Liu Nian had just given her with her teeth, and pulled it hard, and the hand came out of the glove, she raised her hand, shook the smoke-like ring in front of Liu Nian, and said, "He gave me this thing to help me achieve this victory." โ
"Summoning so many magical beasts out, is it a skill on this ring?" Talking to the same top players is to save time and effort than talking to ordinary players, Ye Ci didn't even say anything carefully, and he already knew what Ye Ci was going to tell him by drawing inferences.
"Well, a rather perverted skill." Ye Ci raised the hand with the ring in front of him, squinted his eyes and looked at the ring on his finger carefully, and said very calmly, as if the shock brought by this ring was really just a joke that was calm, there was really nothing worth discussing.
Liu Nian paused slightly, his dark eyes became more profound, and he asked slowly, "What about the conditions?" The Naga probably wouldn't give this to you for nothing, and no NPC would be able to do that, let alone a Naga. โ
"I don't know yet." Ye Ci sighed, put down his hand, and met Liu Nian's gaze: "Naga said that he would naturally look for me when the time came." She shrugged her shoulders as she spoke, "You see, we're just players, but Naga is the ultimate boss of an epic quest, so I can only say whatever he wants." โ
Liu Nian looked at Ye Ci's helpless appearance and suddenly couldn't help it, he bent down and laughed: "It's the first time I've seen a character who can make you so helpless, even if he is an NPC, he is very capable." โ
Ye Ci was noncommittal about the comments of the passing years, she just sighed: "How do you say it? It's not that I'm helpless, it's just that this NPC is too high-IQ, and he can always cut through your weaknesses, well, I'm just a person with weaknesses, so I'm being used. โ
"I'm glad you're being used."
Ye Ci tilted her head and thought about it, she remembered the excitement when the tide-like alliance players and the demonic beasts she summoned rushed into the defensive encirclement of the prosperous world just now, her eyes couldn't help but bend up, as if it was a crescent moon that had just crawled out, she pursed the corners of her mouth and nodded: "Indeed, I was really happy to see the appearance of the Shengshi people turning on their backs just now." As she spoke, she opened her eyes again, looked at Liu Nian, made an innocent expression, and spread her hands: "You say, isn't the meaning of fighting a war to see the other party fail?" It's like, is the meaning of listening to a live singing like listening to a broken sound? โ
Liu Nian paused slightly, and then laughed louder, he propped his hands on the rock behind him, and the hearty laughter went straight to the clouds, he kept repeating Ye Ci's argument, and nodded while repeating: "The meaning of fighting is to see the other party's defeat, and the meaning of listening to the scene is to listen to the broken sound, sure enough, sure enough, this is really the real meaning of these things." He laughed out loud for a while, then gave Ye Ci a thumbs up and said, "I can't see it, Emperor of Truth." โ
Ye Ci also laughed with him, it was a kind of relaxed laughter after all the burdens were put down.
The two of them sat on two rocks opposite each other, laughing so unashamedly that they seemed to be in tears. Such lightness and cheerfulness were simply different from the bloody battle that was still going on on on the front line, and in their laughter, it seemed that the dark and disgusting clouds in the distance also slowly let go of a little, and the more dazzling golden light fell.
After a long while, Liu Nian smiled, looked at Ye Ci and asked, "What do you need to summon so many demonic beasts?" โ
"Soul." Ye Ci shrugged his shoulders: "However, I haven't figured out where this soul came from for the time being. โ
"Then what did you use to summon these magical beasts?" Liu Nian Tingye said this, his brows furrowed slightly, he thought he knew something.
"I have no strengths, only experience." Ye Ci smiled and sighed, but she didn't see any unwillingness in her at all.
Liu Nian blinked his eyes and sighed secretly, sure enough, after a while, he shook his head and laughed helplessly: "That's ...... How much experience did you spend yourself? There should be a lot, how many levels are there now? โ
"Fifty-three." Speaking of this free and easy word, I can't help but have a feeling of tears, this is really a pit dad, a living pit dad. This answer obviously surprised Liu Nian, he looked at Ye Ci with wide eyes, as if looking at a monster, Ye Ci was a little hairy by him, and waved his hand again and again: "Don't look at me like this, if it were you, you would do the same." โ
Liu Nian was speechless, he thought about it, indeed, if he was in the position of Ye Ci today, at this juncture, at the opportunity to have such a skill, I am afraid that he would not hesitate to choose this. In fact, sometimes, one's own interests are the last thing to care about, he thought, he and Ye Ci are indeed the same kind of people, so for Ye Ci's current result, he was surprised, he was distressed, but he understood. Because repeating it again, he thinks Ye Ci will do the same, and if it were him, he would do the same, which is probably the fate of people like them.
People who are known as top players are destined to be saddled with more by the average player, whether you want to or not.
Although he thought so, although he was so sure, and although he understood Ye Ci so well, Liu Nian couldn't help but ask: "Do you regret it?" โ
Ye Ci kept smiling like this, she shook her head resolutely, and didn't even hesitate for a second: "No." โ
"Even if no one ever knows that you did all these things today, you won't regret it?"
She nodded: "Yes, even if no one ever knows, do you know why?" โ
Liu Nian sighed, how could he not know, he thought, they are a group of people: "Because you are Gongzi You." โ
"Yes, because I am, Childe." Ye Zi was clear, word by word, when she said her name, she increased her strength, maybe Liu Nian never knew what this choice was for her, but it didn't matter, he was right. Speaking of this, her gaze suddenly became a little melancholy, and she sighed: "It's just that there are still regrets in the end." โ
Liu Nian immediately understood the meaning of Ye Ci, he understood Ye Ci's thoughts, this time in the PVP competition, she was actually holding back her strength, and wanted to compete with herself in the finals, and now this situation has to be said to be a pity.
However, he looked at the corner of Ye Ci's lips and slowly hooked a smile: "I've been moving forward, but I won't stop and wait for you for this matter." โ
"I know." Ye Ci took a deep breath, jumped off the rock, raised his arms, slouched his waist widely, squinted at the clouds in the distance, and let the golden light that passed through cover her body, as if the whole person had turned into a sculpture plated with golden light: "However, it doesn't matter, I will try harder to catch up with you." Then she lowered her arm, turned her head to look at Liunian, serious and persistent, and called him very cautiously: "So, Liunian." โ
"Huh?" Liu Nian just smiled and looked at her, and the character slowly overflowed from his nose, as if a small insect was burrowing into people's bones and blood, and people seemed to be a little drunk when they heard it.
Ye Ci smiled and jumped a few steps, stood on the edge of the rock where Liu Nian was sitting, and looked up slightly at Liu Nian sitting on the rock, her face seemed to glow, and her amber eyes were so brilliant, as bright as glass beads. The corners of her mouth moved, and she said slowly: "So, you have to always stand at the top, don't let others have a chance to catch up with you, I will catch up with you in the shortest possible time, and I will surpass you in a shorter time." She laughed again as she spoke: "If you can wait for me, please stand at the top of the world and wait for me." โ
The color of Liu Nian's eyes deepened, he leaned forward, and moved his face closer to Ye Ci, a little closer, and finally, he covered the corners of his soft lips, and he whispered softly to Ye Ci in a voice that only two people could hear: "Okay, I will wait for you at the top of the world, wait for you to catch up with me, wait for you to surpass me." โ
Eventually, all of this turned into a watery spring glowยทยทยทยทยทยท (.. )
