ZS001 Trunk World, February 15, 2018.

"How is it, are you still adapting to Xiaolan in this era?" Fang Xiaoling pushed open the door and saw Xiaolan playing a shooting stand-alone game in the room.

Xiaolan sat at the computer desk, not noticing Fang Xiaoling coming in at all, she was wearing headphones and was engrossed in the battle with the level lord.

"Xiaolan!" Fang Xiaoling took off her headphones, "It seems that I asked in vain, you can really find fun in any era." ”

"Sister Xiaoling, what are you asking?" Xiaolan stared at the computer screen and muttered to herself, "Squat, slide, jump!" ”

"Hey-" Fang Xiaoling sat down on the bed next to her, took out her mobile phone and said, "I'm going to order takeout, what do you want to eat?" ”

"Just braised pork rice, wow! And gold! ”

"Grape gold bricks? Do you still want to drink fruit tea? ”

"No, no, I'm talking about games, and I'm drinking casually." Xiaolan put the headphones back on, "Sister Xiaoling, you can go out if you have nothing to do, just put it on the table for me when the meal arrives." ”

Fang Xiaoling clenched her fists, took a deep breath through her nose, slowly released her fists again, got up and walked out of the room with a dark face.

The living room was empty, and she looked in the direction of the coffee table sofa, unconsciously in a daze.

In order to save all kinds of energy in the real world, there is only one backbone left in the virtual world today, and the timeline has changed from many to one.

Carefully calculated, it has been almost five years since the squad came to the 21st century.

Everyone has a new life, and only herself and Xiaolan continue to live in Canglan International's home.

I took out my phone and looked at the list of numbers in the address book, not knowing who to call.

Wang Chenyu and Li Mengling went to Paris the year before last, and the young couple traveled everywhere, and they didn't know where they were recently.

Although Aunt Xiaoyu is in the local area, she is busy with her pet shop every day.

Not long after Li Mengli arrived in this time and space, she bought the rooftop bar to operate, and she couldn't see that her stuffy gourd could still be the boss, and she was quite famous in the city.

As for Yu Ren, although he is the only idler, he has nothing to talk about with him......

"Hey—" Fang Xiaoling sighed and put her phone back in her pocket.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and she thought to herself that maybe someone from the team had come back to see her, and immediately ran to open the door, only to see the robot at the door and say, "Happy New Year!" Dear Canglan International residents, your takeaway has arrived, please check. ”

Fang Xiaoling opened the robot's storage compartment and took out the takeaway, but just as she closed the door, someone reached out to stop the door from closing.

"What? Don't let me in? ”

The familiar voice was like a warm current, Fang Xiaoling saw the person coming, and without saying a word, she stepped forward to hug him.

"Sister!"

"Good sister, what's wrong with you?" Roland smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you've pressed my hair, you have to let me put things down, right?" ”

"Sister, I miss you so much...... Will you come back more often in the future? Fang Xiaoling let go of the other party and couldn't help wiping her tears, "I'm so lonely at home, like a lonely old man." ”

"Pathetic to say, didn't I come back to see you?" Roland put a few mentions of drinks and fruits on the ground and took off his scarf, "Where's Xiaolan?" ”

"She's playing games in the room." Fang Xiaoling complained, "I know how to play games every day, and I can't control her." ”

"As long as she's happy, that's what the virtual world is all about." Roland walked into the living room, "Okay, Xiaoling, the house is very clean." ”

"I stay every day and I don't have anything to do, I can only clean."

After speaking, Fang Xiaoling let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong with you, sigh? You're not happy when I'm back? Roland sat on the sofa and patted the position next to him, "Little friend, do you need my sister to talk to you?" ”

"Sister! Don't make fun of me, I'm really in a bad mood. ”

"So, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"I just think...... Hey—I can't tell. Fang Xiaoling sat down and held Roland's hand, and continued after a moment, "In this era, almost no one knows the meaning of the existence of the virtual world, I just swipe my phone when I have nothing to do, you don't know how many volumes there are in this era."

Everyone was busy with work, as if they couldn't eat as soon as they stopped. ”

"There's no way around it, after all, after everyone enters the virtual world, they will completely lose their memories of the real world." Roland said calmly, "The real world is still under construction and development, and although certain results have been achieved, various resources are still in short supply.

The construction of a new home is not a mandatory job, and if some people don't want to be so tired, they can rest in the virtual world, wait for the real world to be built, and then wake them up. ”

"I understand, like you just said, the meaning of the virtual world is to let everyone rest and be happy, right? But in fact? People in the virtual world are also under a lot of pressure, do you know sister, now it's not just real people, but a lot of data NPCs are also rolled together.

It would be nice if she was like Aunt Xiaoyu and did what she liked, but most people were forced to do what they didn't want to do, and they didn't have the courage to change the status quo. ”

"Is that why you're in a bad mood because of these things?" Roland patted her on the shoulder, "Okay sister, it's a dream and you will wake up one day, no matter how people in the virtual world live, when they wake up in the real world, they will understand." ”

"Sister, I'm not unhappy because of these things." Fang Xiaoling sighed, "I think that my life is already the envy of most people."

There is a popular word in this era, which is called rich and leisure.

That's what I am, but I'm still not happy.

I'm wondering if the existence of the virtual world is necessary, in fact, I know that a large part of the reason why you keep the virtual world is for the squad, after all, our real body has been ......"

"Xiaoling! Don't say that. Roland interrupted her, "This is also my home, not to mention that some people come to the virtual world, not completely to escape the construction of a new home in the real world, they are also very reluctant to the virtual world." ”

"The real world is your home."

"Good sister, are you complaining that I won't come back? Both sides are very important to me, but the real world needs me more now, and the environment and climate are about to turn around, do you want me to leave it alone at this time? ”

"No, my sister is working hard for the future of mankind, and in comparison, I'm just an NPC in the virtual world." Fang Xiaoling looked at the ground, "What right do I have to interfere in my sister's affairs?"

If you have pity on me, come back and see.

If I'm really busy, I'll be left to fend for myself. ”

"Xiaoling, I don't understand why you're saying this." Roland stood up, "If I didn't know you, I wouldn't care what the real world would become."

But you were willing to leave only one brain for the happiness of all mankind, didn't you? ”

"I don't want to do it now!" Fang Xiaoling grabbed the cup on the coffee table and threw it on the ground, "I really don't want to live like this anymore, I miss the days when everyone was together, and I miss the team!"

You are so selfish, for the sake of the real world, you only leave a time and space in the virtual world, and you have canceled so many functions, what is the new version of the virtual world?

Sister, ask yourself, what qualifications do you have to leave only one plane? My rainbow bridge can't be used, and the traverser is a scrap, even if the team supports you, have you consulted all the traversers?!

You are a dictatorship!

Wang Chenyu and Li Mengling don't know where they are, Aunt Xiaoyu is in the local area, and I can't go over immediately if I want to see her! ”

"You...... Won't you take a taxi? If you can't use the Rainbow Bridge, you won't be able to go anywhere? Roland frowned, "You are simply unreasonable now, do you have to quarrel with me on Chinese New Year's Eve?"

Besides, everyone can have a good time, even Xiaolan knows to find something she likes to do, why are you the only one complaining? ”

Fang Xiaoling was stunned for a long time, she took out her mobile phone, and only then did she notice that there were two words "Chinese New Year's Eve" under the date.

When the delivery robot said "Happy New Year", she thought she had misheard.

"No wonder you're back, it turns out it's another year." Fang Xiaoling pulled the corners of her mouth, "I stay in the house every day, and I don't even know what day it is." ”

"Xiaoling, don't be so confused, why can't you find something you like to do?"

"Because I'm the only one who is stupid! Only I care about the squad's past. Fang Xiaoling muttered, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, but do you see anyone coming back?"

Everyone has their own lives. ”

"Xiaoling, don't say that, there is no unbroken feast in the world, it doesn't mean that there is no one in everyone's heart." Roland persuaded, "People always have to look forward, even the best story will always come to an end one day, does my team have to stay together every day to be perfect?"

Actually, everyone is having a good time now, and that's enough, isn't it? ”

"Yes, yes, everyone is very happy, everyone is looking forward, only I am still in the abyss of memories of the past!" Fang Xiaoling covered her face, "Every time you come back, it's like visiting the door, you have to say that sentence after a few days, what is the meaning of my existence?"

I used to be the source of everyone's emotions.

What now? I became a portal between the virtual world and the real world.

Xiaoling, please send me home with your dopamine.

Your words have become the only fear in my heart.

Every time I see you, I wonder when you're going to say that again......"

"Please send me home with your dopamine." Roland looked at her and said calmly, "I'm sorry Xiaoling, I know it's very inappropriate to say this at this time.

But I didn't mean to be angry with you, there was an emergency in the real world that called me back.

Believe me, this side of the virtual world is also my home, and one day, I will be busy with everything and then be here with you forever. ”

"There can only be one home!" Fang Xiaoling overturned the coffee table, the sound of glass shattering lasted for a long time, she stared at Roland, gritted her teeth and said, "I don't need your pity, don't come back." ”

After speaking, Roland in front of him disappeared, and was sent back to the real world by Fang Xiaoling with dopamine energy.
