Chapter 402: Distant Distance
The story begins with this ordinary young man.
He wasn't a great figure in that hypothetical world, and like many ordinary people around him, he didn't make it his mission to change the world, and his only ideal was to make enough money to live a carefree life, at least materially. Luckily, he was good at fiddling with electronics, and he once used his talent to get through the first challenge of his life: college.
Although there were no Siths or Chaos cults in that world, there were many other afflictions. Life is like a pyramid, the people below sharpen their heads and try to climb up, but there are many accidents in the process, such as this young man. Something happened to his family, and he was in dire need of a sum of money that was far beyond his means.
The young man sees no hope, and in despair, he has to use his talents in some improper ways.
In that hypothetical world, information has become something that many people crave because of the Internet. If a couple in love is eager to find out what their partner is all about, young people can provide them with the information they want, and if some people are struggling to fail the test, young people can try to get answers for them...... Even the young man knows how serious the consequences will be if his actions are discovered by those around him.
The academy would expel him, and relatives and friends would look at him with disgust, but these shady actions gave the young man hope, at least he was accumulating step by step, and solving the misery in his life step by step.
The young man's fame gradually spread in the virtual world, and more and more people hired him, and this improvement made him think that his life was back on track. Until one day, a man who calls himself "Z" finds him and offers him a commission that is difficult to refuse.
A huge amount of money will not only solve all the problems he faces, but also allow him to get rid of this disgraceful identity.
"And yet?"
Seeing that Lin Qiu was silent for a long time, Alyssa asked.
"No more. Lin Qiu shook his head: "It's also possible that the person you want to know is not a great hero, he has no lofty ideals, no extraordinary skills, he has few friends, he has no popularity, and he has never even talked about love." ”
In fact, when Lin Qiu came to this world inexplicably, he has always regarded everything that happened around him as a game, and suddenly everything he pursued disappeared, and all the familiar life and affairs became a magical RPG, and he couldn't even find his place in this "magic RPG".
It wasn't until the appearance of the Sith that Lin Qiu had a goal that didn't actually belong to him - to defeat the Sith and the Chaos Sect.
Before that, Lin Qiu just wanted to earn enough gold coins and then play the role of an 'ordinary villager' with peace of mind. Now White Bone Ji suddenly tells him that Tyr-Cyrus is the protagonist of this worldline, just like the protagonist of countless adventure RPGs, and it is their fate to defeat the Demon King and return world peace.
Lin Qiu used to be a lover of RPGs, and in his spare time, he would stay in his room and play RPGs all day, which helped him forget his worries for a while and imagine himself as a completely different person for a while. So he knows the rules of RPG very well, the protagonist does not need motivation, each protagonist is the embodiment of a sense of justice and responsibility, and they have only struggled for a noble goal all their lives.
Lin Qiu felt that maybe it wasn't him who attracted Elisa, but this kind of heroic character, so he guessed that Alyssa wouldn't like his story.
There is nothing attractive about a young man who only thinks about making a lot of money.
Alyssa squinted her eyes and stared at Lin Qiu's every move. At the end, she rolled her eyes: "Boring." ”
In addition to being bored, she was very disappointed with Lin Qiu's answer.
A hypothetical world?
High-rise buildings, internet, limousine?
What's even more comical is a world that can sustain lasting peace.
Alyssa felt that as long as she thought about it a little, she would find that the world Lin Qiu said could not stand scrutiny at all, combined with what Lin Qiu had done in the past, she thought that this must be another story that Lin Qiu made up casually, anyway, what this guy is best at is making things up, no one knows how he came up with these fantastical ideas, maybe he can become a good bard without becoming a knight.
But obviously, Lin Qiu didn't use his "talent" in the right place.
She was trying to talk to Lin Qiu about an extremely serious issue, and the other party actually wanted to make up a story to get by: "So you made up such a story to explain the reason why you are greedy for money? It's really boring, if you don't want to talk about it, then next time." ”
"Heh......" Lin Qiu was stunned, and then he laughed out loud, he laughed so exaggeratedly that he was about to laugh out into tears: "Hahahahaha! You actually saw through Alyssa, I thought I was almost going to deceive you." I've been thinking about it for a long time to make it up...... But at least you have to admit that the Internet and cars are well written, and they are not ideas that ordinary people can come up with. ”
Elizabeth glanced at Lin Qiu and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"But since your story has been revealed by you, then I'll tell the truth as a reward!" Lin Qiu subconsciously helped his sword and the golden sword and shield emblem on his shoulder: "The truth is actually very simple - I was born in an ordinary village, and the person who raised me happened to be a knight, so since I was a child, I was determined to become the greatest knight in this country...... Isn't it often said that people are born with a mission and aspirations?"
This is the most standard birth of every protagonist of RPG, and it is also the starting point of most fantasy RPGs.
Lin Qiu's voice sounded extremely serious, it was likely that he had never thought of it so serious in his life.
The Sacred Tree was on the other side of the forest, and if he found Vanessa and persuaded her to lend her power, he would be one step closer to Tyre-Cyrus's ideals. The plan for the future went through the depths of his mind in an orderly manner, borrowing the power of the five last dragons, obtaining the last soul suppressing jade, advancing to the realm level, and then facing the Sith to end the war that lasted for two eras.
Thinking about it like this, Lin Qiu found that his "schedule" had already been airtight.
"Don't worry, Elisa, according to common sense, the protagonist in the RPG won't lose, and other things ...... I'll wait until I've swiped the Sith alone. ”
Lin Qiu's voice was loud, and Alyssa had rarely seen Lin Qiu make a decision so solemnly. His tone and expression fully showed Lin Qiu's determination, and the fading back made Lin Qiu look like he was walking from one save point to another.
It stands to reason that she should have nothing to worry about.
But for some reason, under Lin Qiu's such a firm expression, Alyssa faintly felt that the other party's later words were against her will.
