Ling Xiaolu was so panicked that his mind went blank, he was overwhelmed, and even forgot how to log off.
He avoided many crises by being alert and agile and acting foolishly, but none of them came as directly as a poison dove.
Poison dove's style of doing things is really not detours!
Ling Xiaolu squeezed his earlobe with his free hand in a hurry.
Lubi: Master! ! Help! ! !
The quarrel was teleported in almost seconds, and the small treehouse seemed crowded due to the fact that three people were crammed into it.
The first thing Li Zheng noticed at first sight was the name of the pigeon that changed color, and he was highly alert.
Ling Xiaoluru grabbed the life-saving straw and was flustered: "Master, I thought he was speaking in a black name. I really don't know who he is... If I knew, I would definitely not say it..."
The expression and tone of his struggling for help explained what happened in this tree house just now. What a smart person Li Zheng was, he instantly sorted out the ins and outs, he flicked his long sleeves and the snake sword in his hand, without saying a word, he spread out to the dove. attack.
The two were already evenly matched, so how could Jinjiu be the opponent's opponent with one hand? After a few moments, he had to let go of Ling Xiaolu and use all his strength to confront Li Zheng.
They fought from the crowded tree house to the outdoors, the claws and the blades were clanging, the crows and the spells flew together, and it was difficult to decide a winner for a while, until the dove called to stop.
"Wait a moment!"
The two stopped their hands at the same time, and then looked around, there was still the shadow of Ling Xiaolu.
Poison Dove was a little sullen about his involvement in the dispute, and his dissatisfaction was unabashedly written in his long and narrow eyebrows, leaving no doubt that if an innocent passerby passed by at this time, he would surely become a cannon fodder for his anger.
It was only at this moment that Li Zheng turned his attention to his face. The appearance of the dove has always been a legend in the Magic Continent. Even people who are indifferent to Li Zheng's matters subconsciously looked at him more.
Poison Dove and Li Zheng briefly looked at each other, realizing what the other party was looking at.
"Tsk." He clicked his tongue disdainfully, and took the mask back lazily.
"I am willing to be used as a swordsman by my apprentice." He sarcastically divorced.
"Better than someone who needs to be dealt with with a knife." Li Zheng replied blankly.
Poison Dove put his hands in his pockets and returned to his absent-minded appearance. Just like the wild beast's savage and vicious moment of hunting, after the outbreak, no matter whether it is successful or not, it will retract its claws, but no one dares to say that this sleepy appearance is the body.
"Little brother said he never confessed to the second person, and I believed him. So how did you know? Guess it?"
Dispute without answering.
Poison Dou knew that he had guessed correctly: "No wonder, I said, why did Li Zheng accept an apprentice inexplicably."
"I accept him as a disciple, it has nothing to do with his identity."
"Really?" Poison Dove shrugged needlessly, "If you say it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Anyway, your relationship is limited to master and apprentice."
"What my apprentice doesn't want to do, no one can force him."
"If you don't call your chronic, invisible pressure persecution."
The poisonous dove hit the nail on the head sharply, Li Zheng kept silent again, and the breath of the sword drawn and crossed secretly flowed between the two.
…
Ling Xiaolu shrewdly huddled in Dongye, a place where neither of them could enter.
Ling Long went to inquire about the news and finally came back.
"Xiaolubi, I finally figured out what's going on!"
He told Ling Xiaolu the information he had collected.
"Xuanjiu was the first batch of players in the game's internal beta test. When he purchased the peripherals, he hadn't made an appointment yet. Soon after the public beta test, he had accumulated too much murderous aura and kept a black name for a long time.
"Until the company launched the appointment service, he was also the first user to buy rings, but the black name is the name that covers all colors by default, so no one in the game knows that he has upgraded the peripherals.
"In addition, Jinyu himself also rejected the exclusive customer service provided by the company for him. The customer service who handled this matter resigned very early. As a result, there are almost no people in the department who know that this account is an appointment account!"
Ling Xiaolu held his head in despair: "Why didn't such an important matter be found out earlier!"
Linglong was also very aggrieved: "Why should I go to check the account permissions of the poisonous dove for no reason, I will be infected with the bird's air!"
Ling Xiaolu: "…"
"Then what should I do now? Not only did the Poison Dove know it, but my master also guessed it. I can't just hide in Ji Meng's house like this!"
Ling Long wanted to say that the most dangerous problem now was not the exposure of his identity, but the time bomb tied to him. Zero didn't know what outrageous actions he would make, and dismantling the collar was their top priority right now.
But he was afraid that after telling Ling Xiaolu, the other party would panic, who could accept that he coexisted and died with an AI inexplicably
"You can still procrastinate for a while. Now all the procedures are working overtime to solve this problem. Try to take off the collar as soon as possible and nothing will happen."
He didn't dare to speak too seriously, for fear of scaring Ling Xiaolu. The fact is that almost all the colleagues in the three departments are working all night to study how to remove the collar, at least to separate Ling Xiaolu and Ling's accounts.
"Don't worry about concluding a contract, as long as you disagree subjectively, even if they tie your finger to it, it won't take effect!"
Compared with forming a contract, Ling Xiaolu was more worried about how he would face his master and brothers in the future. Why didn't you speak up in the first place and say you didn't want to accept it? At least it won't be as serious as it is today!
Ling Xiaolu cautiously stuck his head out, and the two were standing outside Ji Meng's house.
He fully carried forward the ostrich Dafa, not only could not hide, but even the private chat function was shamefully closed.
As a result, the two people simply blocked the door, and there was a lot of perseverance that Ling Xiaolu could not come out, and they did not leave.
Ling Xiaolu is very distressed. Is it the only way back to Jin Ming and Fan Ming? Can't we just sit down with kindness and fight the landlord together with the three of us
…
Ji Meng, like many young people, is very afraid of all kinds of relatives who are not senior.
The last call to check zero was a last resort, and he asked him twice in a row. At that time, he was a little hesitant because this relative was famous for gossip.
The thing he was most afraid of really came, and relatives took the initiative to ask him to "talk about the family", this and that greeted a lot, and finally turned the topic to Zero.
It was only when he talked about this topic that Ji Meng was a little more awake, so he didn't fall asleep.
"Xiao Meng, there's something wrong with the temporary worker you asked me to check last time."
"Have you checked again? This matter has passed." Ji Meng said perfunctorily.
"No, listen to me! I have no impression of the person you asked me to check."
"There are so many people up and down the company, it's normal to have no impression, not to mention that Zero is just a temporary worker."
Or the testing department, which sometimes even recruits students to work part-time.
"Not only did I have no impression, I asked other colleagues in the Ministry of Manpower, but I didn't have an impression. Even if I asked people in their department, few people could tell who it was."
Ji Meng had a headache: "You asked so many people? No need."
You don't have to think about it to know that this will cause trouble to Zero himself, which is not Ji Meng's original intention.
"There is only one department manager who has a good relationship with me. He accidentally revealed something, guess what?"
"If it is a project developed by the company in secret, it may not want people to know about it."
Especially this kind of internal employees who love gossip and open their mouths are more difficult to guard than commercial spies.
The relative asked mysteriously: "Did you know that the company is secretly researching AI?"
"I know," Ji Meng was very impatient, "Is this a secret? Since a long time ago, various game companies have been researching the field of AI."
From large to high-level NPCs to small pets, they are all AI creatures with a certain level of intelligence. It is precisely because of these AIs that the game is more lively and interesting.
"Then do you know that the company is developing AI-type players?"
"..." The other side of the phone was silent, "I don't know, how do players develop?"
"It's just using AI to pretend to be a player! Implant the player's memory into the AI, so that the AI doesn't even know that they are AI, just like ordinary players!"
Ji Meng frowned: "What's the point? Will AI charge money?"
"No! But it can stimulate consumption! The operating strategy of all game companies is to coax high-level players, catch middle-level players, and stabilize bottom-level players. Although bottom-level players don't charge much, they are the cornerstone of the entire game. Only high-level players are willing to spend. It's not that your aunt told you that although you are still young, you can't just indulge in games, you should also start to learn this knowledge, it will be useful in the future!"
Ji Meng rubbed Shangen, thinking about what reason to end the call.
"The temporary worker you asked me to check should be in charge of testing this project... Oh, by the way, I also heard that the AI switches in the test are all set on the back of the neck. Next time you encounter a player who behaves strangely, touch it. If there is any abnormality in the back of their necks, you will know."
"… "
"Hello? Xiao Meng, are you listening?"
"...I'm listening." Ji Meng was suddenly in a bad mood for no reason, "I know Auntie, I have something to do, so I'll hang up first."
"Hello? I haven't finished yet, hello?"
Ji Meng hung up the phone and walked around the room irritably for two times. He might vaguely remember something, but he was unwilling to accept it.
He starts the peripheral and connects to the game.
There were two unexpected people standing outside the gate of his own courtyard. If Ji Meng was in a bad mood just now, it would be even worse when he saw the two of them.
"Are you two okay?"
Li Zheng didn't speak, and only moved his eyes to Poison Dove. It seemed that his existence was the reason why he stayed here.
Ji Meng was also stunned when he saw the name of Poison Dove.
"...Did you buy a ring? Or are you the original?"
The last time Shijiu was imprisoned, he took the initiative to fund the other party's blacklisting, but he was rejected!
Poison Dove was very relaxed and turned a deaf ear to his questions.
"Please ask the little brother to come out and tell him that I won't do anything. I just want to say a few words to him."
"Can't you tell him yourself?"
"Also, then you ask him to turn on the private chat function, and I will tell him personally."
Ji Meng didn't want to help him spread the word. He spent a lot of effort helping Chang Huanxi set up the Spring Equinox City, but he didn't even take a photo of Ling Xiaolu, so he was beaten to death by this pervert.
Of course, Ji Meng was simply dissatisfied with his behavior of killing people for no reason, not because he couldn't beat him!
"Lubi doesn't even turn on the private chat function, it means he doesn't want to talk to you, just wait if you like!"
After speaking, he ignored the dispute, walked away, and slammed the door, which was quite a sign of declaring territorial sovereignty.
Poison Dove didn't care, he simply sat down with his knees down. Anyway, he has always lived in an indeterminate place in the game, and he has a lot of time. He just doesn't know how long another person can spend with him.
Ling Xiaolu jumped up nervously after seeing Ji Meng online, and felt that his nervousness was a little unnecessary.
"What's the matter?" Ji Meng asked angrily, "What are the black and white impermanence pestles at my door?"
Ling Xiaolu hesitated: "There is a little conflict between us..."
"You finally realized that the bird head is not a good person? Did you know that yesterday..." Ji Meng stopped, "Forget it, don't say it."
It's embarrassing to say it.
"But why did that guy suddenly become gold? You know what?"
Ling Xiaolu has been struggling since yesterday, and now he finally mustered up the courage: "Friend... I want to confess something to you."
Ji Meng saw that his attitude was different, and he looked at him squarely: "What's the matter?"
"That's right, that's right, I'm not an ordinary player... No, I mean I'm an ordinary player, but there is something unusual about me... Oops, what should I say!"
Confessing to Ji Meng seems to be more difficult than confessing to Poison Dove: "Actually, I really don't blame me for this matter, it's really your company's peripherals that have gone wrong. It's not that I don't want to take this collar off, it's that it really can't be taken off. .I don't want to hide my identity on purpose, but I didn't even think about using the identity of a pet to play games!"
His words were incoherent, and Ji Meng was confused: "What the hell are you talking about?"
Ling Xiaolu took a deep breath and repeated what he said to Jin Jiu yesterday. After his first experience, he spoke in more detail, more comprehensively, and more vividly.
Ling Xiaolu felt that he could tell stories with his talent.
However, Ji Meng's reaction was not like the pigeon dove's, his eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened. On the contrary, as Ling Xiaolu spoke, Ji Meng's face became darker and darker.
Until Ling Xiaolu told the whole story, he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Ling Xiaolu thought that he was angry because of his concealment, or that he didn't believe what he said at all.
"Friend, I didn't mean to deceive you maliciously, can you understand the feeling that I don't want to, but I have to wear this to enter the game
"... Or do you think I'm lying to you all this, do you remember the scene when we first met?... I can prove it to you!"
He grabbed Ji Meng's hand and pressed it against his neck.
Something could be felt at first, but soon disappeared again.
"Look, I didn't lie to you, this one really exists, and this one on my wrist is fake! It was made by Xin Shan to confuse others, just to divert the attention of the collar.
"The collar is not 100% detectable, as long as you touch the switch once, it will automatically hide for fifteen minutes.
"You, my master, and the poisonous dove all suspected me because of the switch. It's just that you quickly forgot about it, and I have been facing my master's speculation, and I did not expect the poisoning at all. Dove is a golden name."
Ji Meng maintained this posture, motionless, as if turned into a statue.
But the expression on his face made Ling Xiaolu believe that he was emotional at the moment.
If Ji Meng's face was gloomy just now, then after Ling Xiaolu tried to prove himself to him, his face became ashen.
He just stood there motionless, as if he knew some unacceptable fact, his eyes fixed on Ling Xiaolu.
Ling Xiaolu was stared furiously by him, and a chill came from the back of his neck.
It was the chill that emanated from Ji Meng's fingertips.
"… Friend, what's wrong with you? You still don't believe me?"
He timidly pushed Ji Meng's tense and stiff arms.
"friend?"
The author has something to say: Ji Meng: The stupid son of the landlord's family will not collapse!
Lubi: I'm sick!
