25. [The game is being upgraded...]

After talking to Yan Songlin, there was not much time left, Xu Zhi actually didn't know if her spirit body would dissipate or turn into a corpse after her consciousness was withdrawn from the spirit body, but she was unwilling to "go offline" in front of these two people.

So she said goodbye to Yan Songlin, and took advantage of the last few minutes to find a house where no one was there to hide and wait for the spirit body time to end.

The last experience of the spirit body came to an abrupt end, and Xu Zhi didn't know what it was like to end normal time, but now she finally knew what it was like to be separated from the spirit body normally.

As if her soul had been withdrawn, her consciousness was in a trance for a moment, and before returning to her body, she saw the spirit body dissipate into shards burned to ashes by the fire.

“... I see. ”

In the next second, consciousness returns to its body.

Xu Zhi opened her eyes and felt this "heavy" body again, but her consciousness was extremely clear, and without the restlessness that interfered with her all the time, it seemed that even her thinking speed had become a lot faster.

If the two are compared, Xu Zhi still likes the current state.

She looked at the time, it was not yet six o'clock, so she picked up the game console with anticipation to see if her two dependents had gained something.

But after a while, she saw that the dog suddenly stood in place on the screen, as if he smelled something in the air, and then ran towards the southeast like crazy, and in a narrow corner, surrounded by a pile of discarded garbage, the dog threw away the waste in front of him, and found the "treasure" hidden in it.

A black plant about a meter tall and looking like a shrub, it is obviously not quite right, it does not look like a life, its branches are pure black, like some kind of rock, there are no leaves, and a few black fruits are scattered on the densely branched branches.

Xu Zhi roughly counted them, and there were four.

[Unbelievable...]

[It's surprising that your luck really doesn't look like an ordinary person. 】

[Maybe strong luck is also part of your talent.] 】

The narrator laments Xu Zhi's luck in a row for three in a row, which is enough to see how rare the things found by the dog.

Xu Zhi asked the dog to pick the four fruits, and the moment the last fruit was picked, the "shrub" also broke like gravel and disappeared into the soil.

Xu Zhi suddenly had an idea.

Since only one fruit can be produced in the weakest branches, and four in the bushes, will there be black trees?

And how much fruit should it bear?

It's just that she still doesn't know what this fruit is, but Xu Zhi has some guesses in her heart.

She had never seen such a fruit in the daytime, and the only time she saw it was in the early morning, just after midnight, when the power of the world scattered in the narrator's mouth returned to nothingness.

And this fruit contains a lot of energy, so Xu Zhi guessed that this thing is related to those things that can't be looked at directly at at midnight, maybe it's their leftovers, and as soon as time passes, the fruit will disappear, so it can only be picked up in the early morning.

But this is also Xu Zhi's guess, although she feels that the probability of her guess is as high as 80%, but now it is different from the past, it is too normal for something to appear outside of her cognition, and she does not dare to pack a ticket and say that things are what she thinks.

In the next hour, the two dependents found nothing else, and Xu Zhi was already very satisfied with these four fruits.

After recalling Xiao Yi and the dogs, Xu Zhi didn't immediately send them out to hunt, she planned to do something bold.

Seeing that the dependents had all returned to her, Xu Zhi's sense of security increased a lot, and she instructed the two dependents: "Don't run around, stay by my side." ”

Then he took out a black fruit from the warehouse, and without much hesitation, he ate it directly.

Palate... It doesn't taste good.

It's like eating a blueberry that doesn't have any flavor.

But the moment she ate it, a burning sensation burst out of her body, and a ghost appeared in front of her eyes, and a faint noise appeared in her ears, like the stirring of wings.

There seemed to be a candle flame in the distance, and the moth in the fantasy world came to the real world, and Xu Zhi couldn't tell the junction between the illusory and the real at this moment, she seemed to be transformed into a moth, wanting to pounce into the scorching fire again.

It wasn't a hallucination, she could indeed feel her body as if it was being burned by fire at the moment.

But she hadn't touched the distant candle flame yet.

In a trance, Xu Zhi suddenly thought, will the moth bathed in fire be reborn?

She shook her head again, muttering to herself as if she was insane, "No..."

The phoenix will be reborn, the moth will only be burned to death, and she is not a phoenix, she is a moth.

In this thought, Xu Zhi seems to be more and more convinced that she is a moth, and her mission is to reach the candle flame and sacrifice her death.

Something is not quite right...

"Wang! Woof! ”

The two dog barks sounded in Xu Zhi's ears like bells, and the moths around the sound became blurred, and Xu Zhi's reason also returned slightly at this moment, and she had some doubts about her moth's identity.

"I haven't reached the firelight yet, why is it so hot?"

It's as if it's being burned.

"Am I really a moth? Why didn't it fly? What about my wings? ”

Xu Zhi lost his mind as if he had been lowered at this moment, and even his brain circuits became abnormal.

When her short-circuited brain connected the two questions and felt the pain of her body being burned, Xu Zhi suddenly felt that she understood everything and found the answer, so she said with certainty.

"Sure enough, I'm not a moth."

"I'm a burning candle!"

No matter what kind of brain circuit she used to say this, but the moment she said it, there seemed to be an instant solidification around her, Xu Zhi's self-awareness quickly returned, and she was completely sober.

The burning sensation in her body faded, and Xu Zhi noticed that her memory was a little blurry, and she couldn't quite remember what had happened between eating the fruit and suddenly waking up now.

She only vaguely remembered that she seemed to almost lose her mind, and that it was the barking of dogs that woke her up.

That's it... Right?

In short, today is a great contribution to the Wangwang team, and the dog should be given something good to eat anyway.

Xu Zhi picked up the game console and was about to take out the other black fruits from the warehouse and distribute them to Xiao Yi and Gouzi, but was surprised to find that words appeared on the game screen that had never existed before:

[The game is being upgraded...]

[Estimated need: 2 hours]

“... Can the game be upgraded? Xu Zhi looked at this line of words in surprise, this game can still be upgraded???

"But why the sudden escalation?"
