There are basically three ways to enter the game - you are near-dead; Voluntarily being pulled into the game by others; There is also the substitution of someone else to enter the game. The former cannot be chosen, while the latter two are either for immortality or money.

Lu Shuo and Xiao Siyu are both newcomers, and they entered the game under the condition of near death, so in the eyes of them and Chen Yunyi, Xie Yinxue only saw the fear of death and the desire for life.

But in the eyes of Qiu Yuxing and Xia Duoyi, who are old game participants, Xie Yinxue can see the fear of death in addition to the fear of death...... Facing the thirst for immortality.

Those who survive to the end of the game will be able to gain immortality.

In other words, there can be no real teammates in this game, everyone is each other's opponents and enemies. If it weren't for the fact that there was still a chance to choose to leave forever in the later stage of "Suo Changsheng", Xie Yinxue felt that everyone might have already fought at this time, and they would never get along so harmoniously.

However, a brief peace could not change the fact that they were always adversaries.

So Xie Yinxue didn't understand a little: it stands to reason that Wei Dao and the others, who entered the game for immortality, should hope that the more newcomers die, the better, especially Lu Shuo, Chen Yun and Xiao Siyu, who are very likely to become fierce enemies in the future.

But Wei Dao Qiu Yuxing told all the newcomers the life-saving news that "you can live by trading with the ferryman NPC at a price", why is this?

The author has something to say:

Xie Lao: I'm strong, you can't.

Chapter 12

There is one more thing, Xie Yinxue feels that Qiu Yuxing in the guard sword team is a little familiar.

He had always had a good memory, almost remembering, and if he had forgotten something, it would have been very insignificant.

So Xie Yinxue felt that Qiu Yuxing was familiar, and they met for the first time in the "Lock Changsheng" game, so in the real world, they must have seen it before—or rather, Xie Yinxue had seen Qiu Yuxing.

But where did you see it, Xie Yinxue couldn't remember it for a while.

He asked Liu Buhua: "Nohua, before entering the 'Lock Changsheng', have you seen Qiu Yuxing?" ”

"I haven't seen it." Liu Buhua always knew Xie Yinxue's thoughts very well, he just got up, Liu Buhua understood what he really wanted to say, "Do you think he is familiar?" ”

"Yes." Xie Yinxue pondered with her eyes, but she still had no clue.

He would notice this person, mainly because when Xie Yinxue was in the front yard, he found that Qiu Yuxing seemed to have heard the words of Chen Yun, Yan Zhi and Wei Qiuyu arguing.

"He's not like a good guy." Liu Buhua also said, "Although he pretends to be a good person." ”

Before the words fell, the sound of the little maid coming to deliver lunch and knocking on the door sounded, and the two had to stop communicating for a while.

All participants in the game have the same meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day: one main dish and one pickle in the morning, three dishes and one soup at noon and dinner, and a gluttonous feast at the same time.

But when today's lunch was brought to Xie Yinxue, he found that he had an extra dish - maybe it can't be said to be a dish, it would be more appropriate to call it a dessert.

Because it's a cup of sweet soup with white pears.

Although Xie Yinxue and Liu Buhua both ate at the same table, the little girl specially put the white pear sweet soup in front of Xie Yinxue, so that people would not be mistakenly admitted that this was for Liu Buhua.

But even so, Xie Yinxue still asked the little guy: "Is this for me alone?" ”

"Yes." The little guy smiled and nodded, "Chef Ah Jiu saw that you have been coughing a lot lately, so he specially made sweet soup for you to moisten your throat." ”

"Oh?"

Xie Yinxue raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.

Do the chefs here still have such privileges?

Or is it ...... Only Ah Jiu is an exception?

"It just so happens that I feel a little uncomfortable in my throat these days, and Ah Jiu's move is really intimate." Many speculations flashed in Xie Yinxue's heart, but her face was soft, and she smiled softly and said, "Can you call him to meet me?" I would like to thank him personally. ”

"Of course, Mr. Xie, please wait a while."

Yesterday, Xie Yinxue knew that these little guys would not refuse his request, and he was just polite to these words.

Sure enough, it wouldn't be long before the little guy brought Ah Jiu over.

When they stepped into the threshold of the main house, Xie Yinxue was scooping a spoonful of sweet soup and tasting it.

His hair was full of green silk that was originally tied with a red belt, and he was still there when he picked vegetables in the vegetable garden in the morning, but now he didn't know where he went, so that a few strands of hair fell down along Xie Yinxue's posture of bowing his head, and the weakness was on the side of his ear, which made him even weaker and pale.

The vertical pupil chef's gaze was thus fixed on his bloodless, snow-cold white cheeks.

Hearing the sound of someone moving, the young man raised his eyes to look at the door, and after seeing the person who came, the corner of his mouth raised a light smile: "Ah Jiu, you are here." ”

The vertical pupil chef walked up to him and stood still, lowered his eyes and looked at Xie Yinxue and said, "Mr. Xie, is there something wrong?" ”

"I heard from the little guy that you made Ang Sydney sweet soup for me." Xie Yinxue didn't mind that Chef Vertical Pupil was in such a condescending posture, she looked up at him and said, "So I want to thank you in person." ”

The vertical pupil chef was silent, and his eyes seemed to be indifferent in an extremely cold realm, but it seemed that some illegible emotions were circulating.

After a long time, when Xie Yinxue almost thought that he was dumb, the vertical pupil chef finally spoke.

He said, "It's sweet pear soup." ”

This sentence has no beginning and no end, and Xie Yinxue was a little stunned after hearing it.

"It's not Sydney Sweet Soup."

Seeing that he didn't seem to understand, the man added an explanation: "It's fragrant pear sweet soup." ”

"But does it make a difference?"

Xie Yinxue let out a helpless chuckle from his nose, he knew that fragrant pears and Sydney pears were not the same kind of pears, but they were both made into sweet soup, even if the pear flavor was slightly different, it had already melted in the sugar water, leaving only sweetness and pear fragrance.

Chef Vertical Hitomi said, "I hate snow." ”

"—everything that has to do with snow, and the word 'snow,' disgusts me."

Ah Jiu's answer Xie Yinxue really didn't expect.

In particular, he also used the word "disgust", expressing his preferences so clearly that at first glance it sounded as if he was scolding Xie Yinxue - but such a vivid and strong emotion, is it really what an ordinary NPC can have?

Or, all chefs are like this, it's just that Ah Jiu chats with him more.

This is a question worth studying, Xie Yinxue couldn't help but be silent for a few seconds, and decided that he would find an opportunity to verify it tomorrow.

Xie Yinxue moved a little closer to the chef with vertical pupils, and said with a smile on her face: "I have snow in my name, and I like snow very much, so Ah Jiu, do you hate me too?" ”

Even though Xie Yinxue's tone and tone of voice had always been gentle and soft, the words he had just said sounded like he was provoking Ah Jiu.

"Nope."

Who knew that the man smiled after listening to Xie Yinxue's words, he condescendingly looked at the bloodless and sickly young man in front of him, and his hoarse voice came from under the mask, low and clear: "Mr. Xie, you are different from everyone else. ”

Xie Yinxue gently put her chin on the back of her hand, looked at the vertical pupil chef and continued to ask, "What's the difference?" ”

Chef Vertical Hitomi said, "You are like this bowl of sweet pear soup." ”

When Xie Yinxue heard this, his eyes drifted to the sweet pear soup on the side, and he smiled with interest: "Are you saying that I am also part of the ingredients?" ”

"As long as it's in the garden, it's all."

The vertical pupil chef almost directly told Xie Yinxue the answer, even though everyone had guessed the answer this morning. But Xie Yinxue listened to Chef Vertical Pupil reiterate this matter at this moment, but she felt that there was something in his words.

So Xie Yinxue asked him, "Then are you too?" ”

These chefs in the Qinfu courtyard want to cook and cook, and they also have to enter the vegetable garden, if the ingredients that enter the vegetable garden are all ingredients, and the game participants are, then the chef, will it be?

"Master is a swordman, you and I-" The vertical pupil chef was still laughing, but he leaned down, close to the young man, leaned against Xie Yinxue and whispered, "It's all fish and meat." ”

After saying that, the chef straightened up and turned around and left the main room.

Xie Yinxue gradually smiled, staring thoughtfully at his departing back.

Liu Buhua, who had been on the backdrop for a long time, had not yet spoken, but Xie Yinxue asked him first: "Nohua, what do you mean when you say that the chef says that I am the same as this bowl of pear sweet soup?" ”

Liu Buhua shook her head: "I don't know. ”

Xie Yinxue also frowned in distress as if he couldn't think of an answer, but after a few seconds, his brows relaxed.

Liu Buhua understood him, and immediately said when he saw this: "Godfather, you already know what he means?" ”

"Yes." Xie Yinxue bowed, "He's saying that I'm as sweet as pear soup." ”

Liu Buhua: "......"

The willow didn't want to say anything.

He always felt that Chef Ah Jiu's words didn't mean that, but what could it mean? It can't be that Xie Yinxue is as fragrant as the pear sweet soup, right? In short, whether it is fragrant or sweet, none of these two answers is reliable.

Liu Buhua still felt that Chef Ah Jiu was threatening Xie Yinxue, saying that he was more like an ingredient, and this was the correct answer.

But now Xie Yinxue didn't bother to care about the sweet pear soup, he was thinking about what Ah Jiu said at the end:

- The master is a sword, you and I are both fish and meat.

"Master" should refer to Master Qin, and "fish and meat" are all meat, do you refer to ingredients?

Could it be that Ah Jiu was telling him that the chef and the game participants ...... Are they all ingredients?

The condition for the game participants to be treated as meat ingredients is to order meat dishes, so if the chef is also meat ingredients, what are the trigger conditions?

Xie Yinxue had a guess in his heart, his eyes were heavy, he looked at the pear blossom silver bracelet on his wrist, and smiled: Yes or no, don't you know if you try it tonight?

The author has something to say:

NPC: You're like this bowl of sweet pear soup because you're ......

Xie Lao: Super sweet.

Chapter 13

The night came in anticipation of Xie Yinxue.

As soon as the time came, the sound of the third watch also sounded, and the little man in the shroud quickly set up a large round table in the center of the inner courtyard, and sincerely invited all the "distinguished guests" to eat the banquet.

This night, everyone sat around the round table, looking at the menu that the butler sent to them, and their expressions were more or less gloomy.

And Xia Duo lost a pair of legs, and he was able to sit on a chair with the help of Dai Yue.

Maybe it was because of the heavy blow, or maybe it was because of the powerlessness caused by the pain, she was extremely silent tonight, and at first glance, her face was even whiter than Xie Yinxue, probably caused by excessive blood loss last night.
