214. Comic Con Journey

One night, Makoto Kyushu and Xiaojing sat on the sofa and played "Radiant Soul 3" together, and finally defeated the final boss with the help of nearly ten death experiences and strategies.

The undead manipulated by the player enter the Paradise Forge and throw the light spark in their hands into it along with their own bodies, allowing the flames to burn the entire sky and re-illuminate the dim world that is about to shatter.

"Whew~It's finally over~" Xiaojing wiped the sweat from his forehead and lay down on the sofa tiredly:

"Brother Cheng is also very powerful, obviously not long after he started, he was already able to play with me to clear the customs."

"Because you played with me, I was able to start so quickly." Makoto Kyushu said modestly.

Although Makoto Kyushu is more interested in martial arts, he has also played some video games to some extent. In addition, he has the keen reflexes and insight of a warrior, so the game is very fast to get started.

Kyushu looked at the curtain call animation on the TV screen with sincerity:

The player-controlled undead endured a lot of hardships and dangers, and finally used themselves as firewood to ignite the flame of light and make the Furnace of Heaven burn again. The whole world has been restored from its original fragmented and dark appearance to a paradise of birds and flowers. People laugh and laugh, and the soil is full of honey and milk, just like the world depicted in the Old World Picture Scroll that the player gets along the way.

"Oops, I haven't done my Dailies for today." Xiao Jing saw that the time was close to ten o'clock in the evening, and he was busy taking out his mobile phone.

Makoto Kyushu curiously leaned over to take a look and found that she was opening a mobile game with a biased anime style.

"This game is called "Tokyo/Ghost Order", and now it is Wano Country, it should be said that it is one of the most popular mobile games in the world." Xiaojing took the initiative to introduce:

"Brother Cheng plays?"

"Don't play." Makoto Kyushu shook his head.

"Eh~ Then do you want Brother Insincere to enter the pit?" Xiao Jing smiled and persuaded: "I'll take you to play!" ”

Out of curiosity, Makoto Kyushu has searched for information about this game on the mobile browser:

["Tokyo/Ghost Order", also known as "Tokyo/Demon Order", is a role-playing adventure game independently developed by Toookyo! 】

[The game takes place in a fictional world where ghosts coexist and are called "Tokyo Gensokyo."] Here, those chosen by fate will receive the "Psychic Body", and you will take on the role of a mysterious character called the "Soul Killer", and you will encounter youkai with different personalities and unique abilities in the demon-infested post-apocalyptic Tokyo, become their master, and work with them to defeat unknown threats and stop Hyakki's nocturnal journey - all while retrieving her lost memories and gradually discovering the truth about Gensokyo. 】

To put it simply, this "Tokyo/Demon Instruction" is a common gacha mobile game on the market, with gacha cultivation as the main consumption point of krypton. However, it has captured a large number of players in the past few years by relying on the above-average game quality and update speed, frequent offline fan activities, and game benefits known as "charity" in the industry, and has won the first place in the mobile game sales list of Wano Country for several consecutive years.

Kyushu Cheng has never been interested in this kind of game - the core consumption mechanism of this game is card drawing, to put it bluntly, it is to spend money to gamble, whether it is the heroic and righteous "Chen Jiuzhou" or the "Kyushu Cheng" betrayed by the gambler's parents, I don't like it very much, it's like a kind of rejection from the soul.

But since Xiaojing likes this kind of game, as long as she doesn't get dizzy and loses all her living expenses, Kyushu Cheng has no reason to stop her.

Twenty minutes later, Xiao Jing finished the daily tasks of the game, got up and asked, "Brother Cheng, there is COMIC CON this weekend, do you want to play together?" ”

β€œCOMIC CONοΌŸβ€ Seiichi Kyushu tilted his head.

"It's Comic Con!" Xiaojing explained.

"I see." Makoto Kyushu thought for a moment and asked, "But is it okay for you to go out alone?" ”

"Oh, don't treat me like a child!" Xiao Jing puffed up his cheeks slightly, but said with a little confidence:

"If it's this kind of activity of particular interest wear a hat and sunglasses. It's still possible to go out! ”

"That's too reluctant, isn't it~" Kyushu Makoto played with the game controller and asked casually:

"If I go with you, can you take them all off?"

"Well, I'm not embarrassed to say that." Xiao Jing pursed his lips tightly and nodded slightly: "But if I am accompanied by Brother Cheng, I will definitely be able to!" ”

"Then I'll go together~" Makoto Kyushu readily agreed.

On Saturday morning, the two traveled to the outskirts of Chiba, where the COMIC CON Comic Con is held.

The exhibition site was as crowded as any tourist attraction in Tokyo in August. In addition to ordinary tourists like Makoto Kyushu, there is also a large group of tourists called Coser.

"There are so many people." Because of being accompanied by Kyushu Cheng, Xiaojing finally mustered up the courage to take off the three-piece set of hat, sunglasses, and mask, and went out to show his true face.

Like most young girls, Xiao Jing knows a little bit of makeup skills, covering up the faint dark circles under her eyes, and adding a bit of blood to her pale facial skin. With her slender figure that is not very athletic and the summer outfits that she hasn't worn much, the shape is not beautiful but also very attractive.

But perhaps because of her inferiority complex, she still didn't dare to look at others, and kept walking with her back bowed slightly.

"Keep your head up and be bold." Makoto Kyushu encouraged beside him.

"But." Xiao Jing looked at Kyushu Cheng with a gloomy face, but he was suddenly patted on the back, and then he finally raised his head reluctantly:

"I know~ that's it.!"

She seemed to see something she was interested in, and her eyes seemed to sparkle.

Following her gaze, Makoto Kyushu saw a girl wearing a pink and white Lolita dress and holding a short staff, which should be the Coser of a certain anime character.

"It's . The round fragrance of "Magic Knight Girl", I didn't expect to see this kind of old Coser this year! Xiao Jing was obviously excited.

"Are you going to talk to her or take a picture?" Makoto Kyushu asked with a smile.

"But." Xiao Jing lowered his head again, showing timidity.

"Don't be afraid, just go talk to her." Makoto Kyushu put the long-handled umbrella in his hand on the ground:

"I'll be watching you here. If you're in danger, how about turning back to me for help? ”

"Well, I see!" Speaking of which, Xiao Jing took a deep breath and made up his mind to walk towards the magical girl.

Xiao Jing walked trembling steps, and finally came to the girl's side and talked to her.

Kyushu Cheng didn't listen carefully to what the two of them said, but five minutes later, Xiaojing ran back with joy, and took out his mobile phone to show off:

"Brother Cheng, I took a photo with her! She's so nice! ”

In the photo, Xiaojing is smiling shyly, while the magical girl shows a confident smile, which should be the character's signature move.

"Yes, not all of them are malicious." Kyushu Makoto nodded: "Many people are able to communicate amicably, so don't be afraid of them." Look them in the eye and say whatever you want to say. ”

"Well, I see, Brother Cheng!" Xiao Jing nodded with a smile and stroked the hair next to his ear.

Obviously, Kyushu Makoto is a year younger than her, but in her opinion, Kyushu Makoto is more like a big brother who can protect her and guide her when necessary.

The two spent another morning wandering around the show. With Kyushu Cheng following behind her to give her a cover, Xiaojing gradually became a lot more emboldened and more open than usual.

"Brother Cheng, look, I took a photo with that person again! He's so handsome! ”

"Brother Cheng, let's go play that VR experience hall, shall we?"

"It's like a book signing. Wow, it's Mr. Quan! Brother Cheng, I. Shall I go to the queue! ”

Makoto Kyushu also had a lot of fun. Although he is not a lover of this, he is also a young man, and naturally likes this kind of gathering full of youthful energy.

At noon, the two left the exhibition venue, and finally found a vacant seat at a nearby conveyor belt sushi restaurant, and decided to fight again in the afternoon.

"Xiaojing, do you like this kind of thing very much?" Makoto Kyushu took a plate of eel sushi from the top of the track, and after taking a bite, he felt that it was not as fresh and delicious as Fukuoka.

"Of course, in fact, I told Brother Cheng that you must not laugh." Xiao Jing bit his lip tangledly, thought for a moment and said:

"I started learning Chinese because I liked Wano Country anime very much, and I thought I wanted to come here to study, and my parents happened to have this idea too, so they sent me here."

"It's not very unusual, maybe many international students think like you." Makoto Kyushu took a sip of barley tea and said lightly:

"It is through this culture that the country of Wano continues to influence Yanhuang, which is why there are many young people like you who are interested in the country of Wano."

"Brother Cheng means that I am stupid like this?" Xiaojing shrunk his neck, and seemed to be a little confused about Kyushu Cheng's attitude:

"Just because of this thoughtless naΓ―ve idea, I decided to study in Tokyo, but it turned out that it was so much worse than I imagined, and I suffered so much because I didn't adapt to the environment, but I could only grit my teeth and feel sorry for myself haha, Brother Cheng, I deserve it, right?"

Saying that, Xiao Jing felt a little regretful. Perhaps many people like her fantasized that their life would be like an anime with the theme of youth campus love before coming to Tokyo - meeting a group of like-minded partners, participating in various national youth competitions with club classmates, and preferably meeting an excellent and beautiful true love

But as a result, Xiaojing's campus life in Tokyo is indeed similar to that of youth campus-themed anime, but it is more inclined to the depressive style of "The Shape of Sound".

"Maybe~ I had unrealistic fantasies, but I was devastated by the cruel reality, and I could only crush all the grievances and swallow them in my stomach." Kyushu Cheng subconsciously put the empty plate on the track, and hurriedly took it back again:

"People will always make some decisions in their lives because of poor thinking and naivety, and they will regret it immensely. We can't turn back the clock, the only thing we can do is to move on. If you can correct your mistakes, you will try to correct them, and if you can't correct them, you will live your mistakes wrongly. I think that's the kind of awareness that every great person should have. ”

"Eh" Xiaojing nodded as if he understood or not.

"You regret your decision to study in Tokyo, but haven't you always stuck with it?" Kyushu Cheng smiled:

"You said before that you were going to go to a prestigious university, presumably no matter how much you regretted it, you never gave up your studies, right?"

"Well, even if I don't want to go to school, I don't want to talk to anyone, and I don't want to face the stinky face of the counselor, but I still grit my teeth and go to school every day and get good grades." Xiaojing said dejectedly:

"That's all I can do, but I'm so persistent, probably just because I don't want to disappoint my parents~"

"Isn't that amazing?" Makoto Kyushu smiled gently:

"No matter if you make a decision that you regret again, no matter how stupid a mistake you make, you still continue to not give up on yourself and insist on living a life that is meaningful to you, which is already very powerful~"

"Eh~" was suddenly praised, and Xiaojing's mood suddenly became a lot happier.

"That's right, you've always been a very powerful person, so don't look down on yourself anymore~" Kyushu Makoto patted her on the back and encouraged:

"The reason why I have been willing to help you for so long is precisely because I have seen the possibility of you having "greatness". ”

"Hey, hey." Xiao Jing was so shy that he was praised, and hurriedly scraped his cheek with his fingers:

"I really have what Brother Cheng said~"

"I'm sure you'll be able to get rid of your introversion and become cheerful again before the end of the summer vacation. Even the counselor who scolds you all the time will be caught off guard by your change. Kyushu Cheng encouraged:

"When you're full, let's go back and play. I remember you saying there were some other big events coming up in the afternoon? ”

"Hmm~"

After eating and drinking, the two returned to the exhibition site.

Xiaojing told him that there would be a large-scale event here in the afternoon, which seemed to have something to do with the "Tokyo/Demon Command" she was playing now.

Probably the event is about to start, and there are a lot more tourists here than usual, and a few staff members are maintaining order on the spot.

"Oh, is that guy cosmic black and white magician?" Xiao Jing's gaze was quickly attracted by a girl not far away.

The girl sat in front of a booth selling manga doujinshi, dressed in a black and white Western-style dress, a huge black magic hat, and a long broom on her knees, looking like a quiet and serene witch.

"Miss Qinggong?" The moment he saw the girl's face, Makoto Kyushu said subconsciously.

The girl seemed to have seen Makoto Kyushu as well, and quickly lowered the brim of her hat.
