Chapter 9: "Please Be My Torch Again"

[An avalanche, no snowflake is innocent...]

[Many sparks formed a prairie fire and lit the torch...]

[The torch of enlightenment leads the lost out of the darkness, but burns the fire to the light...]

[He's not terrible...]

[The scary thing is the supporters around him!] 】

[Location: No. 3 Main God Space (Commercial Street)]

[Earth time: 9:51]

"Lin Jiu..." Lu Ming looked at the girl in front of him who was almost two heads shorter than him, and there was a little more doubt between his eyebrows.

Lu Ming only has an image of her when she was a child, they used to be neighbors, but because the girl was so annoying, Lu Ming didn't like to talk to her very much, and then went to high school and went to other cities, and gradually lost contact.

"Long time no see." Lu Ming thought for a long time and only said these four words.

"It's been almost five years..."Lin Jiu lowered his head and stirred the dish that had bottomed out with his chopsticks.

They are sitting in a restaurant on the commercial street, although the digital body does not need to eat, but people are like this, the more unfamiliar the environment, the more spiritual sustenance.

Dry rice is one of them.

"It's really unexpected to meet here." Being able to meet acquaintances in this kind of place, Lu Ming only felt that his recent luck had been spent: "The whole server notice... Not cheap, right? ”

Without waiting for Lin Jiu to respond, Su Zhong spoke first: "50 points, what do you say?" ”

As he spoke, the waiter served another dish.

Lu Ming turned his head and glanced a few times, as expected, the waiter was also a player, and he asked, "How long have you been in the game?" ”

"One year, we were the first players." Lin Jiu said: "Except for the rookie players who came today, the other players are the first batch. ”

A year ago, that is, during high school.

Lu Ming was a little puzzled, many people disappeared inexplicably, but there was no news in the society, he thought that he had not left the society, but there was indeed no report at that time.

Later, Lu Ming asked some questions about the game and got a general understanding of the situation.

The game is called Earth, and the game is divided into five main god spaces, each of which has a manager.

At present, there are two groups of players, with a total of more than 500,000 people, and there are almost 100,000 people in one main god space.

As for the managers, the general opinion among players is that of an alien civilization.

Lu Ming suddenly remembered what the manager Satan said: Since it is a game, please show your strength, after all, only the winner can go to the end.

It's exactly what the girl in the mental hospital said.

Will the two be connected?

"Lu Ming." Lin Jiu's tone was serious: "Sure enough, I'm more glad that you have also entered the game than in the original world." ”

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment: "Why?" ”

"Because that world is so hypocritical." Lin Jiu said: "Dressed in a gorgeous appearance, in fact, the inside has long been full of holes, compared to there, this world that is still moving forward in order to live is better." ”

Lu Ming moved his gaze and landed on the girl's chest, she was still the same as before, even if she was wearing a gothic costume, she was still very conservative: "This place is virtual after all..."

"This year, no matter how many copies I experienced, I still felt that something was missing in my heart, and I thought about it for a long time... It's the torch! A torch that keeps me going! Lin Jiu suddenly grabbed Lu Ming's hand: "Lu Ming, just like before, become my torch again, okay?" ”

Lu Ming knew that this was not unrelated to her experience when she was a child, and if she hadn't opened the door that day, maybe there would have been no later story.

"If you can, you can be a torch yourself." Lu Ming withdrew his hand.

A hint of loneliness flashed in Lin Jiu's eyes, but he was quickly covered up by a smile: "It's okay, if you have a torch, one is enough, as long as it's Lu Ming, what are your plans next?" ”

The points of the rookie dungeon are very small, not everyone can find clues, and if you kill the boss, the points will be wiped out when the points are cleared, which will inevitably create a situation where most rookie players must participate in the dungeon after three days.

In the main god space, you have to consume a fixed amount of 20 points every month.

Lu Ming only has enough points to deliver for two months, not including daily expenses, which is not much better than those players with low ratings.

"I'll go to the next copy."

Lin Jiu was stunned for a moment: "Don't you have enough points?" I can give it to you. ”

"Lin Jiu!" Su Zhong lowered his voice, his tone angry.

Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I have enough points." ”

As long as you get a dungeon, you can get at least ten points of participation in the prize, and it's better to get a dungeon than to stay in the main god space and waste it.

"If it's enough, there's no need to participate." Lin Jiu looked at him and said, "You join our guild, so that you will have a commission of ten points every month." ”

Lin Jiu said in a tone that could not be refused, as if he had planned the future route for Lu Ming.

"I get it, but I always have to get a copy, it's just a matter of priority." Lu Ming's brow, which was covered by bangs, frowned slightly.

"It's okay, I have points." Lin Jiu emphasized, his face delicate and slightly childish.

"Thank you." Lu Ming responded lightly with two words.

Su Zhong's face was ugly, and he sat aside without saying a word.

Lin Jiu silently lowered his head and picked up the already cold dishes.

It was almost eleven o'clock when the three of them left the restaurant.

"Where do you live now?" Lin Jiu looked at Lu Ming with his spare eyes.

"Personal space..."Lu Ming said while observing the shop, "Is there any other place to live besides personal space?" ”

"Yes." Lin Jiu nodded: "Some houses in the main god space can also be purchased. ”

Even the game has the saying of buying a house...

It is estimated that a lot of points will be needed, and Lu Ming did not continue to ask deeply.

"Then I'll go back to my personal space first."

Lin Jiu's steps slowed down, and the lights of the shops flickered in her eyes.

"Brother Ming..."Su Zhong suddenly spoke: "Regarding the matter of joining the guild, we have to negotiate with the president first. ”

"I understand." Lu Ming didn't plan to join the guild in the first place, so he just had to be perfunctory.

He opened the panel, ready to return to his personal space, when she suddenly grabbed his hand.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ming pressed his finger back for a moment.

Lin Jiu raised her head, her eyes seemed to be mixed with thousands of emotions, and after a long time, she lightly opened her thin lips: "Are you used to eating the dishes here?" ”

"Hmm."

[Returning to Personal Space...]

……………

【Current Location:Personal Space】

Tip: You can spend points to decorate your personal space. 】

[Estimated price: 3 points]

There is no need to...

Personal space is just a place to rest, and Lu Ming doesn't plan to waste points here.

Lu Ming began to look at the other features of the panel.

The first is the World Chat Channel, which, unlike the mailbox, is where the public chats.

[75901: I'm a newcomer, ask the big guys to bring it! ] 】

[38902: The points are not enough, the next copy must be on, the newcomer asks, is each copy like an orphanage in the underworld?] 】

[30912: The bigwigs are familiar, if you run into them in the dungeon, please protect! ] 】

The news was refreshed quickly, and after a few glances, new news appeared.

One caught Lu Ming's attention.

[73356: Brother Norton, I'm Wang Ya of Country C! 】

A similar message popped up soon after:

[95922: Brother Norton, I'm Inano Murakami from Country J! 】

[21890: Brother Norton, I'm Kessel from Country E!] 】
