Chapter 10: Re-enter the game
In the next few days, Lu Yu watched the TV that he usually didn't watch, and listened to the radio, and the frequency and time of going to the street to buy things also increased a lot, but the game cabin that he usually played the most didn't touch it much now.
It's not that his personality has changed dramatically after playing the game, it's purely for his own personal purposes.
Do you still remember the player named "Explosive Pistol" in the game, when I first met him, Lu Yu felt that he looked and sounded like a young man who was often active in this area. That person often gathers a group of people to drag racing around here at night, and then finds a roadside to get together to drink and smoke, and Lu Yu has met him several times when he went to the convenience store to buy snacks.
If this person is the "explosive pistol", and the appalling setting in the game is indeed true, then this person should be missing by now, and Lu Yu will not see him again.
That's right, Lu Yu suddenly watched the TV and listened to the radio, and occasionally searched the Internet, in fact, just to see if there was a missing person notice about this person. And he overcame his laziness to wander the streets, just to increase the chance of encounters.
But he only lasted three days in this life.
"Looks like they're probably missing." Lu Yu said to himself, "Although it is possible that I haven't come out to mix in the past few days, but in this way, the authenticity of that setting has increased a few points." ”
At this time, Lu Yu was lazily slumped on the sofa wrapped in a blanket, holding an open book in his left hand, and a piece of potato chips in his right hand was about to be sent to his mouth, and there was a whole tube of potato chips and a cup of hot coffee on the coffee table next to him. The twenty or thirty square meters of space around him were piled up with all kinds of books and movie DVDs, and although they were very numerous, they were neatly arranged, but they didn't feel like a mess.
This area, plus a small kitchen that is almost not opened, a toilet that basically has to finish a book to get out once you sit in, and a bed and refrigerator in two corners, this is basically all the content of Lu Yu's daily life.
Lu Yu's parents are said to be scientists who receive state allowances, and the content of their work is very mysterious, and most of the time they spend most of the year either abroad or in a mysterious research institute that cannot be found on a satellite in China, and they have not seen them a few times since they were young. Soon after he was born, he was sent to his grandmother's house in the countryside to raise him, until the death of his only relative a few years ago. Maybe he felt that Lu Yu was an adult and no longer needed a guardian, so his parents just hurried back to handle his grandmother's funeral, left him a sum of money, and then let him live independently.
Therefore, Lu Yu's current state is quite free. He rents a house by himself, no one cares about his family, and he won't be stupid enough to find a woman to control himself. Then, without the constraints of a regular job, he earned enough money to make a good living by writing something for magazines or playing some popular games for money and equipment. What's more, if there is really an urgent need for money, there is still a huge amount of money given by the second elder in the bank.
From the above description, it can also be guessed that Lu Yu is quite a homely person in real life, and probably does not have many friends. In fact, there is only one person who can keep him in touch and meet from time to time, and that is Wei Simeng, who is studying for a doctorate in the same city. The two grew up together in the countryside since childhood, and came to the city to study together, although they have not been related by blood for more than 20 years, they are closer than brothers.
It just so happened that when Lu Yu thought of Wei Simeng, the latter's call happened to come in. As soon as Lu Yu picked it up, he could only hear Wei Simeng's usual innocent voice coming from there.
"Hey, Ah Yu, come out to eat at night! Someone told me about a new store today, and it sounds good! ”
"I'm too lazy to move." Lu Yu lazily ate another potato chip, "I'll just cook a noodle and eat it later." You go to the mine first, and I'll try it next time. ”
"Don't be like this, it's boring to eat alone." Wei Simeng said dissatisfied.
"Then you can find a woman to accompany you." Lu Yu said earnestly, "Didn't I say you, Mengmeng, you're almost a three-year-old person, you don't even have a girlfriend, have you read books for so many years......"
"Not everyone in their twenties is called Ben San, okay!" Wei Simeng roared on the other end of the phone, "And what about yourself!" You're not single yet! ”
"That's a question for now." Lu Yu lightly tried to debunk the topic. Wei Simeng actually said yes rarely this time, but he continued: "Then I'll pick you up downstairs in ten minutes!" ”
"Hey! I didn't say I was going! Lu Yu yelled into the phone, but Wei Simeng hung up the phone with a snap as soon as he finished speaking.
Lu Yu held the phone for more than ten seconds, scolded "this guy" hatefully, and had to get up to change clothes. Although Wei Simeng is usually confused, one of the big advantages is that he is very punctual, and ten minutes is ten minutes, not only will he not be late, but if Lu Yu is late, he will have to be broken by him for a long time.
Perhaps because he noticed Lu Yu's character, he didn't know which day he would develop into a ****** personality, Wei Simeng, as the last line of defense of human beings, had to resolutely take on the arduous task of pulling him out to see the beautiful side of society every once in a while. Sometimes it's for dinner, sometimes it's shopping, sometimes it's driving around to experience nature, visiting museums, and so on. Fortunately, these two are undoubtedly straight men, otherwise I don't know what sparks will be sparked if we get along like this.
"Do you want to tell Simeng about "The Land of Apocalypse"? If you just ask him not to touch this, does it count as revealing information? A few thoughts suddenly flashed through Lu Yu's mind, but then he denied it. If that cheat dad's game counts this behavior as revealing information, wouldn't he have died unjustly? And it's okay to die, if you just say the name of the game and hang up, Wei Simeng's stupid guy will definitely try it to see what it is, wouldn't it be self-defeating at that time, which is equivalent to killing him himself?
"Forget it, the intelligence is insufficient, wait until you play a few games and see if you can find a reliable way." Lu Yu shook his head and made a decision, seeing that the time was almost up, he hurriedly put on his coat and went out. In case being late, it's not a joke, the nagging Wei Simeng can teach them to eat the whole meal in one breath.
In this way, Lu Yu eats and sleeps every day, sleeps and eats, reads books when he is in the mood, and goes into the game cabin to play a few other games when he is not in the mood. After a few days of muddy life, Lu Yu pinched his fingers and counted, and the survival points were probably almost used. Although the game setting is not 100% certain, and he will feel uncomfortable if this mystery is not solved for a day, it is not enough to experiment with his own life, and it would be too stupid to hang up because of such a thing.
After thinking about it, Lu Yu decided to relax and experience the game again.
The landing hall of "Land of Apocalypse" is still as simple as ever, except for an additional system message on the wall, telling Lu Yu that players "Amano" are paying attention to him. There are two ways for players in the game to get in touch, one is to add friends, one party makes a request, and the other party can complete the addition after receiving it. Two people who are friends with each other can check each other's current situation, chat in real time in the landing hall, and invite multiple friends to their meeting room to talk face-to-face, in which case several friends can appear in the space even if they don't know each other. At the same time, the biggest advantage of friendship is that several people who are friends with each other can arrange a game copy together, so that they will go through the level in the form of a small team, rather than by themselves.
The other is Amano's "attention" to Lu Yu. "Follow" This behavior does not need to be confirmed by the other party, it can be carried out in one direction, but the relative authority will be much less, only one item to confirm the current situation, the confirmed status is not complete, you can only check whether you are alive and the current level, and you can't view the other party's survival points, clearance rate and other information like friends.
Generally speaking, players who complete the game in the same game copy are more likely to build a deep bond, and often as soon as the game ends, the surviving people add friends to each other as soon as the game ends. As for why Amano didn't apply for friends but used the unpopular method of "following", Lu Yu probably knew the reason.
"Hmph. I hate it, but I look forward to seeing you again. Lu Yu snorted, and easily focused on Amano, "Let's talk about each other." ”
Due to the shyness of his pocket at this time, Lu Yu did not have enough game coins to buy some favorite items. He put the only piece of equipment on his hand—the pit daddy's "cotton bracers"—and put the only item, the antidote serum, in his pocket, so that he was fully prepared. At this time, Lu Yu had already been promoted to level 2, and his current state was like this:
[Level: 2,200/300]
[Survival Points: 2]
[Rating: Fighting: N\/A, Ranged: N\/A, Operation: N\/A, Puzzle Solving: E, Spirit: B, Trait: N\/A]
【Skill: None】
[Equipment: Cotton Bracers]
[Item: Antidote Serum]
[Clearance rate: 100%, good at type: plum blossoms]
[Game Currency: 400]
"Well, to get survival points to stay alive! In order to save more money, go to the store to buy something and play! In order to...... Well, in order to open those few evaluations that haven't been opened yet, it's best to learn a skill and see what's going on! Lu Yu racked his brains to find a reason to cheer himself up, "Uh, ah, that...... All in all......"
Without hesitation, he opened the door in front of him.
"Next game, I'm coming!"
