Chapter 109: Secret
"Who are you?"
In a coastal villa in Galves, Bai Xiaolou, who had changed into his usual clothes, was a man with an ordinary appearance, belonging to the kind of passer-by who was inconspicuous on the street.
Under the leadership of the villa NPC housekeeper, he came to the balcony facing the sea on the second floor, and there were a few tables and chairs on the balcony, when Bai Xiaolou was looking at the sea from afar, he heard the movement of footsteps, he turned his head, and after seeing Chen An, he once again asked the question of the first meeting.
"Who are you?"
Chen An walked to his side calmly and said.
"Is time and space out of order?"
Bai Xiaolou was slightly stunned, muttering in his heart, but he said quietly on the surface.
"I am Bai Xiaolou, a lucky person favored by fate. ”
"Lucky?" Chen An said as he looked at the sea, his tone revealing a hint of melancholy. "Why not a trick of fate?"
"Let's get straight to the point. Bai Xiaolou stared at Chen Andao. "Who are you?"
"I've also been curious as to why you have this question. Chen Andao.
"Because, whether it is in the past, present, or future, there is no rising star named Chen An in the game industry. Bai Xiaolou said lightly.
"Do you have the ability to predict the future?" Chen An raised his eyebrows.
"I'm just an ordinary person, and what is not ordinary is that I have 20 years more memories than others. Bai Xiaolou seemed to have unloaded a boulder in his heart, and said with relief.
"What do you mean?" Although Chen An had expected it, he still wanted to get personal verification from the other party.
"I am a born-again. Bai Xiaolou chuckled. "It's ridiculous, isn't it?"
"No, it won't. ”
Thinking of himself and the mysterious young man in the game, there was nothing else that could shock Chen An.
"What about you?" asked Bai Xiaolou.
"Just like you, but the difference is that I'm from another plane. Chen Andao.
"Other time and space?" Bai Xiaolou couldn't help but lose his mind.
At first, he thought that the other party was a reborn like himself, but he didn't expect him to come from another time and space.
About rebirth is the biggest secret in Bai Xiaolou's heart, since he found out that Chen An is an alien, he immediately fell into a short panic, after all, in his original world trajectory, Bai Xiaolou, the first person in the world, does not exist, just like Chen An.
In terms of Bai Xiaolou's current fame, he can't hide Chen An's suspicions, after hiring a private detective after repeated investigations, he found that Chen An, a mysterious person who suddenly appeared, has no trace at all, it is said that he first appeared in Montres on the west coast of the mainland, and at the same time happened to meet one of the only two friends in the game, the ruthless Shenlong, after his help, this newcomer who is ignorant of the game has become independent.
He doesn't like fighting, and after leaving Monteres, he has been traveling around the continent regularly, much like those laid-back players who specialize in sightseeing, and eventually he jumped directly from level 30 to level 40 in Galves, and he threw himself into the ladder arena, thus starting the myth of the winning streak, and it is rumored that he played the ladder in order to make money to buy equipment and skills.
Before joining the Ladder Arena, Chen An's game trajectory could not be seen as abnormal, but since he created a winning streak all the way to the Ladder, he seemed so unusual and suspicious.
For this intruder who disrupted the world line, Bai Xiaolou had reason to suspect that he and himself were the same kind of people.
After much deliberation, he decided to negotiate head-on with the other party to see if he was friend or foe before making his next move.
But Chen An's answer undoubtedly had a great impact on Bai Xiaolou, he was not a person from this time and space? So didn't he take the initiative to jump out mean that he had nothing to do? Even so, he had a huge interest in Chen An's origin.
"I have heard that your world arose after countless years of rebuilding after a great cataclysm, and that my world is the world that existed before your great tribulation. ”
"Interesting...... Bai Xiaolou couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. "Then should I treat you as an ancestor?"
"No, how many years older than me when it comes to age? Chen An shook his head and smiled. "Besides, I am not from the ancients before your great tribulation. ”
Sometimes everyone can be honest with each other when they talk about it, since they have ulterior secrets for each other, and this secret has undoubtedly brought the relationship between the two closer after it is said.
Then, Bai Xiaolou told Chen An his story.
If he was not reborn, Bai Xiaolou's original life trajectory, he would have been an ordinary gold medalist in the original small studio, although he was later promoted, but the salary he earned was still not high, when he was twenty-three years old, his sister who depended on him left him because of a serious illness, and since then he has been messing around in various games to make a living, until he was thirty-two years old, he died suddenly, and then woke up and unexpectedly returned to 20 years ago.
Relying on the knowledge of the game he once knew, he quickly got ahead of himself, and even established his own career for a time, but unfortunately the reborn does not mean that everything can be successful, for an ordinary person who is only good at playing games and reading books for a few years, the painful lesson of business failure made him understand that the only way to succeed is the game, and finally he used all the money he earned to invest in the development of the game company "Elderland Sky" in advance through the advanced memory advantage of the reborn, ensuring a stable income in the future.
Therefore, he finally settled down when he was nearly thirty years old, but his rebirth advantage is not much, and in two years, he, the first person in the world, will completely fall off the altar, and he will simply prepare to retire as soon as possible.
However, no matter what, Bai Xiaolou's game talent is undeniable, otherwise how could he always occupy the first position in the world game just from the game of foresight.
Similarly, Chen An told Bai Xiaolou his secret, but he didn't say anything about the mysterious young man in the game, it seems that Bai Xiaolou didn't know about the mysterious young man.
"By the way, I have a question, how did you use your power beyond the rules of the game in that ladder duel?"
After chatting about their secrets, Chen An suddenly changed his words.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you, it's not a game secret in two years anyway. Bai Xiaolou said with a smile. The answer is nothing more than two words, overclocking. ”
"Overclocking?" said Chen An, who was both familiar and unfamiliar.
You've experienced that as well, and you can describe how you felt at the time. "Bai Xiaolou.
"I felt like I was freed from some kind of constraint, as if I was free from all the things in the world. Chen An thought carefully.
"In fact, nothing in the world has changed, it is you who has changed. "Bai Xiaolou. "When the player's desire to win in battle explodes to an extreme, the system will determine that you are in overclocking mode based on your situation, and in overclocking mode, your actions will be greatly enhanced. ”
"It's so simple?" Chen An said in surprise.
"All I can say is that this game is not as simple as you might think. Bai Xiaolou said meaningfully. "As far as I know, the console of this game was originally a virtual reality system used by the military to train special soldiers, and then somehow it was transferred to a game company to develop the game......"
"Would the military be so kind?" Chen An shook his head.
"I suspect that the military is collecting a lot of experimental data. Bai Xiaolou shrugged. "Because one of the things I've noticed is that my nerves have become more reflexes sharper than ever since I played the game. ”
"Do games affect reality?" Chen An muttered.
"In fact, the relevant theories have been around for a long time, but the government has never popularized the people. "Bai Xiaolou. But it's not a secret in the eyes of those who care. ”
"I see, what are your plans in the future?" Chen An nodded.
"What else can I plan, retire after the expiration of the contract with the club, stay at home with my wife and daughter, anyway, I don't need to worry about life in the second half of my life, I may be invited to explain some games when I am bored and free, and publish a book or something. Bai Xiaolou said relaxedly. "What about you?"
"Go ahead and travel through the world of this game, I'm not like you, and I'll leave this world sooner or later. Chen Andao.
"The future is far away, and it is impossible to see each other, so let's just say goodbye to each other. "Bai Xiaolou.
"It's fine. Chen An nodded.
With that, he turned to leave the villa.
"Wait. ”
Without waiting for him to go far, Bai Xiaolou called out Chen An.
"What else?"
"Be careful of one person. Bai Xiaolou said solemnly.
"That mysterious swordsman?" Chen An said.
"You know?" said Bai Xiaolou.
"I only got up to level 40 because of his mission. Chen Andao.
"Then you have to be more careful with him. "Bai Xiaolou.
"Why?"
"You'll find out later, remember, if you meet him next time, it's best to stay as far away as you can...... Because, he's the person I don't understand the most in this game. ”
Not long after leaving Bai Xiaolou's villa, Chen An's mind was all on the other party's advice before leaving, there was one place he cared about very much, he had been calling the mysterious young man "human", not NPC, could it be that he noticed something?
The next day, Chen An left Galves.
And the ladder arena has never seen him appear again, and in that peak duel, he and Bai Xiaolou left a conjecture of countless players, so much so that it later became one of the top ten puzzles in the game world.
Chen An didn't say it, and Bai Xiaolou wouldn't say it.
Because everyone knows the impact of leaking each other's secrets.
The two never met again, not even in private chat, just like Bai Xiaolou's proposal.
In life, we will meet a lot of passers-by, but passers-by are passers-by after all, maybe we will miss them, but the road ahead still has to go on.
