Chapter 8 Night Road Encounters

When the big-tailed wolf was still proud, Luo Luo kept looking at him silently, without the usual laziness and confusion in his eyes, and his expression was complicated.

"What's wrong?" The big-tailed wolf finally noticed that something was wrong with Lolo and turned his head to look at her.

"I want to go offline." Luo Luo still stared at him. She felt that today was really shaking and that something seemed to have changed. What she didn't figure out in the equipment store just now, she needs to think about it.

She looked uncomfortable, and quickly looked at herself to make sure that there was nothing wrong, and then the big-tailed wolf raised his head again: "Then when will you come back?" ”

Luo Luo didn't say a word, opened the task panel and shared the task of "Lifting the Seal of the Strange Forest" with the big-tailed wolf, and then waved his hand, leaving a sentence of "Probably tomorrow!" "It's going underground.

The big-tailed wolf petrified in place, and it didn't react until Luo Luo's figure completely disappeared for a long time.

He, the jade tree in the wind, was abandoned!

At this time, Luo Luo was already awake after going offline, but he was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed and refused to get up. In reality, the feminine face without a veil is exposed to the air without concealment.

After a long while, Luo Luo fluttered his eyelashes and opened a pair of eyes as beautiful as stars, but in these beautiful eyes, there was a confused look.

After quietly staring at the ceiling for a while, she finally got up, grabbed the phone on the bedside, and dialed a familiar number.

The phone on the other end of the microphone rang only twice before it was picked up, and an enthusiastic female voice sounded: "Hey? Is it my dear Lolo?! ”

"Momo, are you free now?!"

"What a surprise! You're going to offer me a date. ”

“……”

"Okay, okay, Luo Luo is looking for me, of course I'm free! I'll be waiting for you in the old place. The people over there seemed to be familiar with Luo Luo's character, and hung up the phone after making an appointment with a place.

After getting dressed and going out, she beckoned a taxi, and more than ten minutes later, Luo Luo appeared in a double room in a coffee club, and opposite her, there was already a woman in fashionable clothes and exquisite makeup.

Li Mo, a girl of her age, has a warm and bold personality and is capable, which is completely different from Luo Luo's carelessness. But these two people are close friends from childhood to adulthood. If there is anyone in this world who understands Luo Luo and who is a person that Luo Luo trusts, then Li Mo is definitely one of them.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Mo saw that something was wrong with her. Although Luo Luo is often lazy and doesn't like to talk, he has never looked so preoccupied as he does today.

Li Mo smiled and pushed a cup of coffee to Luo Luo, who had just sat down: "I knew you liked to drink this, so I would have ordered it for you a long time ago." Here! ”

With a faint smile, Luo Luo took a sip of his coffee, then put down his cup and began to be silent.

Li Mo was not in a hurry, he picked up his cup of coffee and drank it slowly, occasionally flipping through the free fashion magazines delivered in the coffee shop. For a while, no one spoke, just silent.

Until the cups in front of the two of them were bottomed out, Luo Luo finally sighed and began to speak:

"I never thought that there would be times when I would need others to sacrifice to protect me."

As early as when Luo Luo sighed, Li Mo pushed the cup and the magazine aside and listened quietly, but after waiting for a long time, she only heard this sentence, and there was no follow-up, she finally couldn't help but raise her good-looking eyebrows: "Gone?" ”

After gathering his thoughts a little, Lolo began to talk about everything that had happened since he entered the game.

Li Mo is also a veteran player who has been playing rebirth since the closed beta, and when she first heard that Luo Luo actually took the initiative to enter the rebirth, she was first surprised, and then after hearing Luo Luo's race and the skills she learned, she sighed at her good luck. It wasn't until she heard what happened after the big tail wolf and Luo Luo teamed up that her expression finally became serious, and she frowned until she heard the end.

"So, you're being protected?!" Li Mo, who knew everything that had happened, didn't express any opinions, but just smiled informally: "Yes, our Luo Luo finally has a prince to rescue." ”

"Momo, this feeling is very bad, really." Luo Luo frowned, not knowing how to express his emotions: "It's been a long time since I've been bothered by what someone else has done, and it doesn't matter to me anything. But today I'm bothered, which means I'm starting to care about something, and I don't want to care about anything. ”

Li Mo closed his eyes, placed his right hand on the table, and gently clasped the table with his index finger, making a rhythmic tapping sound, and after about a minute, he opened his eyes again and looked at Luo Luo seriously: "I think you are too proud." ”

Looking at Li Mo inquiringly, Luo Luo didn't plan to say anything, just quietly waited for her to continue.

Sighing softly, Li Mo began to say what she had always wanted to say but didn't have a chance to say:

"You've been smart since you were a kid and you've learned everything very quickly. You think that there is nothing worth your mind, and there is nothing that is worth your attention. And so it is, you are really good at everything, so you never have a time when you are stuck and need help from others. You don't want to care about anything because you don't need anything at all. ”

Speaking of this, Li Mo stopped, looked at Luo Luo who was thinking and smiled, beckoned for two more cups of coffee, the coffee was served, she slowly tore open two packets of saccharin and poured them into the coffee respectively, and poured a little milk from the pot next to her to blend, the spoon slowly stirred in the coffee cup, without making any sound, only the curling heat rose in the cup, blurring the emotions in her eyes:

"Today, in the face of that ignorant girl, you want to teach but can't do anything about it, because it's a game and has nothing to do with anything you can be proud of in reality. At such an unwilling moment, the man called the big-tailed wolf protected you, helped you, saved you, and even lost his life to go in. In reality, you definitely don't need anyone's protection, let alone give people the opportunity to sacrifice for you to this point, so the reason why you start to care is because you realize your weak side. ”

Li Mo suddenly raised his head, pulled the corners of his bewitching and ruddy lips and smiled brightly: "You want to change!" This is a complete affirmation, Luo Luo shuddered, and after a moment of silence, he slowly nodded his head.

Li Mo smiled with satisfaction, pushed over another cup of coffee that had been prepared, and gently patted Luo Luo's hand: "Don't care about your family, you don't have to pretend to be a little sheep, not to mention that it's just a game." ”

Withdrawing her hand, Luo Luo picked up the coffee in front of her, lowered her eyes, and didn't let anyone peep into her heart: "I don't care about anything." ”

That's weird! Li Mo pursed his lips, but he also knew that some things could not be rushed, so he said perfunctorily: "Yes, since you don't care, then let go and play." ”

She has a very light temperament, not so much because she doesn't associate with others, but because she disdains to guess and cater to other people's minds.

She is also very arrogant, not so much lazy, but because she thinks that anything can be easily solved, and it is not worth her to remember and think about seriously.

But when she was making shoes for the big-tailed wolf just now, she was very awake, so awake and calm that she barely felt the slightest sleep.

How many years? Since junior high school, she hasn't done anything so soberly and seriously, right?!

Is it really oppressive to be motivated? Or are people really cheap?!

The praise and flowers from childhood only make me feel more and more boring, but today's little girl makes me feel a little impulse to devote myself to one thing that I haven't seen for a long time?!

All right! It's hard to be in the mood, so try it again and see when the game will get boring.

After saying goodbye to Li Mo and returning home, Luo Luo walked straight into the bedroom, and at first glance, he saw the game connection bracelet he had placed on the bed.

Picked up the bracelet and was stunned for a while, remembering that the time agreed with the big tail wolf was tomorrow, so Luo Luo didn't log in to the game, but went to the official forum of Rebirth, carefully browsing through various topics, trying to find some information that may be used in the future. Of course, it's also important to have information that is available now. Her knowledge of the game setting of Rebirth is still in its infancy.

When he inadvertently flipped to the screenshot of the game named "Sleeping Beauty", the corners of Luo Luo's mouth twitched violently, and it seemed as if a team of crows were flying over his head......

Then she kept this strange expression, skimmed through all the comments under the screenshot, and decisively closed the topic after not getting any valuable information.

After reading some of the experiences of other players on the forum, and closing his eyes and sorting them out, Luo Luo finally had a general understanding of rebirth.

Rebirth is a game that is completely hosted by the Brain and is no longer controlled by the outside world from the moment it runs. Therefore, many people see it as another world in the universe, because it has a set of laws that can only be applied in its world and is not interfered with by other worlds.

And these laws were formulated and enforced by the main god of that world, that is, the reborn intelligent brain "Chaos".

This world is set in the background of Western magic, and there are three camps: light, darkness, and neutrality.

The classes are archers, mages, swordsmen, thieves, gladiators, etc., and the hidden classes are more subdivided.

The race is also based on the mythology of Western magic, in addition to the dominant human race, beast race, and elf race, there are also hidden races that have appeared so far, such as the angel race, the demon race, the vampire race, and the Shura race.

However, Luo Luo's race, the Immortal, is a race type with obvious oriental colors, and not only has it never appeared in the open beta. Even the characteristic image of the race that you see when you create the character is completely similar to the other races and classes in the game.

Is there any hidden secret there? Luo Luo instinctively felt something unusual, but he couldn't think of anything to do. After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't understand it, so he had to shake his head and sigh that he had been too casual before, so that there was not enough information to refer to and speculate now.

"The only thing that is certain is that it is definitely not a mistake or bug in the game brain." Luo Luo's fingers flexed slightly, and he used the back of his fingers to support his cheeks and came to such a conclusion.

Respawn the game in the main control room.

"Hurry! That player is online and isn't in the game right now, now go track down her IP and change her race! A programmer with colorful hair, seven or eight pierced ears, and a peacock-like swaggering programmer screamed anxiously in front of a surveillance screen.

"Cheng Guang, this rebirth is completely managed by the Zhi Brain, and none of us have the permission to modify it. You forgot?! Another programmer, who looked much more sedate and was meticulously dressed, walked up behind his back and flicked the back of his head with his fingers and sighed, "Say it! What's wrong again this time?! ”

The peacock programmer stared at the other programmer with a strange face: "There is a player's race that is an NPC race. ”

The so-called NPC race refers to the race that is not obtainable for players in the game and only exists in NPCs in special plots.

After hearing the word "Chang Xian", the steady programmer was obviously stunned, and then his face quickly became as strange as the peacock in front of him: "How come?!" ”

"Ahem." The peacock programmer's eyes began to drift, dodging the other party's gaze and said uneasily: "On the day of the open beta, my nephew had to come to visit, and when he was watching, he accidentally touched a control button, and scanned the race of Qinghong, the NPC of the final stage of the plot currently written, into the hidden race......"

Speaking of this, the peacock programmer hurriedly raised his voice and emphasized: "But there is only a 1 in 10 million chance of being selected, and I turned it off in less than half a minute as soon as I scanned it......" The voice became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into the murderous eyes of the steady programmer.

"But it's just that one in ten million chance that you've been chosen, and that's within half a minute of your swift shutdown of remediation." The programmer looked at him with disdain.

How can people be unlucky, such a chance of mistakes, can be convicted by themselves, it seems that after going home, I should ask the old lady to see where there is a temple that has not closed. The peacock man known as Cheng Guang touched his nose depressedly, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Sitting in front of the management screen of his subordinate, the steady programmer skillfully entered a few instructions, looked at some data, and then thought seriously for a while, and then relaxed and beckoned the peacock man: "This race was drawn and distributed by Chaos himself, if he thinks it will affect the normal operation of rebirth, he should quietly change to another when he draws this hidden race." Since he hasn't changed it, the proof is the law that can run the application, and you don't have to worry. ”

After hearing this, the peacock man was finally relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"But!" The steady programmer suddenly spoke, and the frightened peacock man's anger returned to his chest. Looking at the peacock man's appearance, he also smiled, pushed the keyboard into the computer desk, and patted the peacock man's shoulder casually: "There can't be a next time." ”

"Yes! Leader! ”

After browsing the forums for a while, I really couldn't find anything else to do, and Luo Luo finally logged into the game.

After going online, I looked at the list of friends, and found that the big-tailed wolf was online, so Luo Luo directly connected to the other party's voice, changed the time, and agreed that after dawn in the game, the big-tailed wolf would teleport to the newcomer village to complete the task of the strange forest together.

Speaking of which, Luo Luo went offline for more than three hours this time, and more than seven days passed in the game.

During this time, the big-tailed wolf had already completed his mission of leaving the village, left the newcomer village, and his level had risen to level 14.

With four or five hours to go before dawn in the game, Lolo simply went out of the village, intending to practice his skills in order to add some chances of success to the task for a while.

Since Luo Luo's bonus points are intellectually and physically tendency, she focuses on practicing the small fireball technique and healing technique among her only six combat skills.

The level 10 mage attribute, plus the fight is a beginner mob, so although Luo Luo's skill proficiency is not high, the damage is still considerable. But if you just stay where you are, the monster will be cleared out in a short time. But if you want to go deeper and encounter more powerful monsters, I'm afraid that Luo Luo's current skill proficiency will not be able to deal with it, plus most of the people who are still leveling up in the middle of the night are in the depths of the forest, even if you go in, I am afraid that it will be a situation where there are more monks and less porridge.

After thinking about it for a while, Luo Luo finally decided to walk around the village to clear out the monsters, although he had a lot less experience, his skill proficiency was steadily increasing, well, although it was limited to the small fireball technique.

After clearing the village twenty times one by one, Luo Luo's fireball technique had passed most of the intermediate proficiency, and when he walked back to the village gate again, a figure came out from under a tree outside the village and walked towards Luo Luo.

Luo Luo also saw the figure, so he stopped, stepped into the village entrance in a hurry, and after making sure that he was in a safe zone, he stood in place and lazily watched the other party approach.

"Little girl, in the middle of the night, why don't you go to a farther place to practice and improve your strength, but linger here?" The figure walked up to Lolo and looked at her kindly.

With the help of the torch at the head of the village, Luo Luo saw the person in front of him clearly, it was a middle-aged man, with an ordinary face on his square face, that is, the kind of public face that would be submerged as soon as it was thrown into the crowd. It is the image of a classic passer-by who appears many times in the movie, and it is cannon fodder.

It's an NPC, that's it.

Too lazy to pay attention to this cannon fodder uncle, Luo Luo slowly walked out of the village after confirming the harmlessness of the other party, and continued to carry out his fireball journey without hurry.

Uncle NPC didn't mind Luo Luo's attitude, and when he saw that the other party ignored him, he followed Luo Luo's ass by himself, watching her use small fireballs to clear the monster along the way. Neither speak nor help.

If anyone sees this scene, they must think it is very strange, a beautiful woman with a veil on her face but still does not hide her beauty, followed by a middle-aged man who seems to be loyal but is full of perverts. The two of them went around the village together to clear the monsters outside the village, and only the woman did it.

In this way, after Luo Luo took this strange NPC uncle to clear the village for another twenty laps, the uncle spoke again: "Little girl, with your current strength, you can go to the wider world to cultivate, but why did you stay here and entangle with these low-level monsters?!" ”

Luo Luo pursed his lips, glanced at him and didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to move on.

So the uncle continued to follow. One after the other, then around the village.

Every 20 laps, the uncle will take the initiative to talk to Luo Luo, and between his words, it is nothing more than asking Luo Luo why he always stays here to fight these inexperienced monsters and the like, and every time Luo Luo does not open his mouth to respond to him.

It wasn't until after 100 laps that the uncle finally stopped, no longer followed Luo Luo, and pulled Luo Luo's sleeve, and did not allow her to continue to move forward, and began to speak impassionedly:

"Little girl, you obviously have a strong strength (level 10 is indeed very strong in the newcomer village) but you are willing to stay here, patrol for the peace of the village, hunt down these monsters that are very low to you (you are wrong, she is here to clear the monsters just because there is no one here to rob the monsters and is safe, the most suitable for practicing skills), and persevere, no matter how the outside world is not distracted at all, let alone boast of your good deeds (people are just lazy by nature and don't want to pay attention to you), you are strong and humble, and willing to protect the weak (who, who?) Who the hell are you talking about?! Now I grant you the title of 'Night Patrol', and may you be able to rid yourself of all evil in the days to come, so that every good soul can sleep peacefully at night." ”

After speaking, Luo Luo heard a system prompt in his ears: "Ding! Player Lolo's virtue moved the Night Patrol Envoy Rod, and was awarded the next Night Patrol Envoy duties, and obtained the title 'Night Patrol Envoy', and the night's various attributes were strengthened by 3%""Ding! Player Luo Luo completes a hidden random A-level quest and obtains the title 'Night Patrol', rewarding 2000 experience points, 1 gold coin, and 2000 prestige points"

The NPC uncle disappeared at the same time as the system prompt sounded, Luo Luo stood in place in a daze, and after a while, she slowly lowered her head, rubbed her somewhat sleepy eyes and muttered, "It turns out that it is not a perverted pervert NPC." ”
