A Race to (Be) The Top

Chapter 8: When the crisis is lifted, it is not scary to lose, it is embarrassing to be surrounded by people!

Views:

Ling Xiaolu nervously swallowed: "Drunken, drunk and lying in the court."

Linglong had a strong urge to hold his forehead, but he didn't dare, for fear of revealing flaws.

"... Drunk on the battlefield?"

"Yes! It's the name!"

"I've never seen a newbie learn this skill right away."

"Congratulations on seeing you now."

"Um?"

"No, I mean... I didn't know what skill to learn, so I just ordered one. I didn't expect that this skill could only be used for running, and it would cost money to relearn it. What a pit!"

Ling Xiaolu forced a wave of explanations, Li Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and Ling Xiaolu didn't know how much he believed.

"Why are you running?"

"You also saw that the man was chasing me just now, but I couldn't beat him, so I had to run."

"You are a newcomer, why is he chasing you?"

Ling Xiaolu was speechless: "Don't ask me about this, ask him."

Li Zheng was silent, Ling Xiaolu was timid, for fear that he would see something.

"Then what," he pointed cautiously at his feet, "this, can you help me solve it? My feet are numb after being wrapped around for a long time."

Li Zheng raised his hand slowly, Ling Xiaolu thought to himself that such a person who came out of Xianxia novels, his custom gestures must also be otherworldly, staring intently.

However, Li Zheng did not release the curse for him, but put his finger on the back of Ling Xiaolu's neck and tapped it at the suspicious place just now.

Even though the temperature of his fingertips was very low, Ling Xiaolu was forced into a cold sweat.

The collar was triggered and hidden just now, Ling Xiaolu can only pray that the time has not passed fifteen minutes.

Li Zheng really didn't touch anything, his eyes darkened obscurely.

Ling Xiaolu felt the dissent fingers leave the back of his neck, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Now you can..."

Before he finished speaking, the hand that Li Zheng had already withdrawn grabbed his left wrist and flipped it up quickly, revealing the already disguised game bracelet.

Ling Xiaolu: …

This man is terribly cautious!

"Uh, I just bought it, is there any problem? Although it's not as good as yours, it's cheaper than yours." Ling Xiaolu said the truth, but it was nonsense.

Seeing that Ling Xiaolu was not the one he was looking for, Li Zheng let go of his hand in disappointment.

"I got the wrong person."

"No, no, it's fine."

With a slight movement of Li Zheng's fingers, the vines wrapped around Ling Xiaolu's ankle quickly pulled away, the whole plant submerged into the ground, and emerged from Li Zheng's feet. Ling Xiaolu looked down and saw that it was a sunflower-like plant with seven or eight thorny tentacles. At this time, it was waving its tentacles socially, not knowing whether it was a smart or a default action, and suddenly raised the flower tray and rushed to Ling Xiaolu, "Pululu" Lulu" stuck out his long tongue.

Ling Xiaolu: ... This doesn't match your manly temperament!

Li Zheng called out the radar and found that the signal had disappeared. At the same time, Ling Xiaolu also received a private text message from Ling Long.

Linglong: Good news! The technical department's raid solved your problem, and now the pet radar can't scan you at all!

It seems that Xinshan Company is quite efficient, Ling Xiaolu thought optimistically, maybe the programmers would add a night shift and take off the collar around their necks.

"I wasted your time."

Ling Xiaolu was in a good mood: "How come, it's my honor to be in close contact with idols!"

This kind of talk is familiar to everyone, and naturally he doesn't think deeply. With a wave of his long sleeves, he disappears instantly in front of Ling Xiaolu.

"Crisis lifted!"

Ling Xiaolu, who escaped from danger, turned around proudly, but froze in place as if struck by lightning.

The national husband, no, it was the domineering crown prince Ji Meng who pulled his iconic corner of his mouth and walked towards him aggressively.

Ling Long couldn't help but want to call for help at this moment: "You're too happy too soon."

The Tu Dun had just cooled down, and Ling Xiaolu wanted to repeat the old trick: "I..."

Ji Meng held a claw in his right hand, and the lightning around his arm crackled: "You try another somersault, believe it or not, I will split you into coke!"

The word "go" was swallowed by Ling Xiaolu, and he was very puzzled: "Don't you feel embarrassed when you make an appointment and keep staring at a newbie like me?"

"It would be shameful for a rookie like you to escape from your hands three times in a row." Ji Meng strode to Meteor, and in a blink of an eye, he was in front of him, and Ling Xiaolu couldn't fly.

"Mengxin, Mengxin," Ling Xiaolu reluctantly corrected, "Otherwise, it's okay to be called a novice. Give others some respect."

Ji Meng stood still at the distance where Ling Xiaolu could hold him by the back as long as he turned somersaults: "Let's talk."

"say what?"

"..." Ji Meng was asked, "I don't know! You said it!"

Ling Xiaolu: …

I'm afraid it's not wise!

"The first time I went offline because... Am I sick? I'm not feeling well. I went offline to buy medicine." Ling Xiaolu began to make up.

"Hmph." Ji Meng let out a heavy nasal voice, frightening back the reasons Ling Xiaolu was going to make up later.

"What about the second time? Why did you run away when you saw me?"

"The second time, the second time is because... I learned a new skill, I want to try it out and see if I can use it!"

"You go to the pet exchange to learn skills?"

Ling Xiaolu was so sorry that he wanted to cut his tongue: "I learned the skills first, and then I went to the pet exchange to see if there were any babies for sale. Who knows that I will see you as soon as I come out. Do you think we are destined?"

Ji Meng made a quieter "hum" this time.

When Ling Xiaolu saw that he was slowly accepting it, he was more confident when he lied: "The third time it was even easier, you suddenly flew over with a big sword, and the first reaction of anyone seeing it would be to flee. ."

"If you don't run, why am I chasing you?"

"You don't chase me, why should I run?"

The conversation stalled.

"You really have nothing to hide from me?" Ji Meng asked reluctantly after a long stalemate.

"I'm a newbie, what's there to hide from you?"

"What about Li Zheng? Why did Li Zheng get along with you?"

"What do you mean... pay attention to your quality! I just wanted to go to see the fun, but I didn't expect to be on the same pillar as him. My idol is kind-hearted. , saved me from your claws."

Perhaps remembering the fiasco just now, Ji Meng's face was a little bad.

Ling Xiaolu is very good at observing words and expressions: "But don't be sad, after all, you are also a newcomer compared to him, and it is not ashamed to lose to him. Although it is in front of many people, it is still live broadcast, wow, maybe it is all online. Everyone saw it."

Ji Meng's face became darker: "Are you comforting me?"

"I just want to tell you that losing is not scary, it's embarrassing to be surrounded by people."

"Do you want to die..."

"Look, look! I'm doing it again! Do you think I can run away when I see you?"

Ji Meng was hesitating between beating him to win or not to feel aggrieved, when he heard a shout from behind, "They're over there!"

Ling Xiaolu knew that his whereabouts had been discovered. He wanted to use the power of the masses to get rid of the entanglement and bypass Ji Meng, but was frightened by the dense crowd.

It was Ji Meng who had experience in this kind of situation. Ling Xiaolu only heard a sharp whistle in his ear, and then he was picked up by the collar and placed on top of something unknown. The thing flapped its wings twice and quickly rose into the sky, accompanied by a long howl, throwing the chasing crowd far to the ground.

Ling Xiaolu went to the sky for the first time, but he felt that the giant under him was swaying violently from left to right, and the wind whistled in his ears, for fear that he would fall and be shattered. He closed his eyes tightly, holding whatever he caught.

It flew for a certain distance like this—of course, it took Ling Xiaolu a long time to fly, and the giant beast finally landed. Ji Meng turned to look at Ling Xiaolu, who dared not move, and his mood was much better.

"Have enough hugs?"

Ling Xiaolu secretly opened one eye, and confirmed that he was no longer in the sky based on the surrounding environment. Only then did he realize that it was Ji Meng's waist that he was holding tightly, and he hurriedly released his hand.

Ji Meng snorted, and once again jumped off the mount with a person like a chicken. Ling Xiaolu's feet were soft when he landed, and he almost lost his footing.

Ji Meng looked at his pale face, as if he was pretending: "Are you afraid of heights? Haven't you ever been in a spaceship?"

"Is your spaceship open?" Ling Xiaolu asked rhetorically.

"Not bad, I still have the strength to talk back."

Ling Xiaolu was very afraid that he would say something like "if you have the strength to pay back, then fly again", and immediately stopped paying attention.

He calmed down, and only then did he have the energy to carefully examine Ji Meng's flying mount. This is a flying dragon with a huge body and a huge belly. How such a big belly can fly is really a mystery. However, when he wanted to stay away from this person and looked around, he found that he didn't know where he was taken by Ji Meng.

Apart from a sturdy towering giant tree behind, in front of Ling Xiaolu is an endless grassland, and there are a number of monsters with fierce appearances on the grassland.

"You can be careful, there are all red monsters here, and they like to take the initiative to attack Mengxin like you." The word "Mengxin" was especially emphasized by Ling Xiaolu, who was bitten by the vile Ji Meng. Heavy.

In fact, he didn't say that Ling Xiaolu also found it. The nearest monsters have been staring at him since he landed. Probably as soon as he stepped out of the safe area, he was arrested for "leveling". It is said that there is no need to upgrade the monsters in the game

Ling Xiaolu retreated subconsciously, leaning back against the tree: "You... why did you bring me to a place like this?"

Ji Meng hummed softly again, Ling Xiaolu would suspect that his pig essence had been reincarnated, and this pig essence luckily raised a fat dragon. At this moment, the dragon exhaled rough air from his nose, rolling black smoke, and the pig essence immediately turned his attention to his pet, took out something from his bag and fed it to him, leaving Ling Xiaolu to one side.

The fat dragon was full and flew away. The "Pikachu" that Ling Xiaolu had just seen, was beaten and cried by the quarrelling snake jumped out of nowhere, and grabbed Ji Meng's trousers with a look of anticipation. Ling Xiaolu vaguely saw a rule: the standard for this local tyrant to raise a pet is to be round and plump!

"Are you hungry too?" Ji Meng spoke to the baby in an unbelievably gentle voice, "I'll feed you here."

Ling Xiaolu watched the man sitting on the ground and summoned the bag. His fat "weapon" (?) grabbed the edge of the bag, buried his big head in it and searched for it. After finding it, he took out the food with his short hand. When he came out, he stuffed it into his mouth, making his already round cheeks even more round, and his mouth was chomping and chewing, and the residue splashed all over the place. Ling Xiaolu couldn't bear to look directly at the rude table manners, but Ji Meng, the owner, looked at it kindly and kindly, with a suspicious old mother smile on his face.

"Cough cough!"

Ling Xiaolu used a cough to remind Ji's mother that there was still a living person here, but Ji Meng was wrong: "Are you hungry too?"

"I..." Ling Xiaolu was about to ask him to take him back to town, but he didn't think Ji Meng handed him some food.

"Want to eat?"

Ling Xiaolu: …

Not eating for nothing, he imitated Ji Meng and sat cross-legged beside him and took it over in a fit of anger. What Ji Meng gave him was a food made of simulated meat patties. The skin was golden puff pastry, and the entrance was rich in cheese flavor. The meat filling tasted like beef, with a little peppery numbness. Ling Xiaolu still ate it. Steaming.

"Is this really virtual food?" Ling Xiaolu expressed his amazement, "The taste is so natural, it doesn't have the taste of artificial food at all, and the freshest beef is just like that. Moreover, the skin is so crispy, it looks like it's just out of the oven. Take it out."

"Of course, there are so many delicious things here, you can't finish it for seven days and seven nights." Ji Meng's answer was quite proud of "this is my kitchen".

"Anything else?" Ling Xiaolu reluctantly licked the slag at the corner of his mouth, and the greedy worms in his stomach were hooked up by Ji Meng. Ji Meng was holding a pale pink round ball with two fingers at the moment, playing with his pet lying on his left knee, when he suddenly felt the other side heavier, turned his head and saw Ling Xiaolu approached him. face startled.

Ling Xiaolu's gaze fell directly between his fingers, Ji Meng looked at him with extreme uncertainty, then at the ball in his hand, then at him, and at the ball again, confirming that Ling Xiaolu was staring at him. Yes this thing is right.

Ling Xiaolu looked expectant, pointed to the ball, and then pointed to himself.

Ji Meng raised a little with difficulty: "Do you want to eat... this?"

Ling Xiaolu immediately nodded vigorously: "Is it okay?"

Ji Meng's expression was still confused, and he hesitantly stretched out his hand: "Yes... Yes, yes..."

As soon as Ling Xiaolu heard him say yes, he couldn't wait to get up and take a bite, and even put Ji Meng's fingers in his mouth, and Ji Meng's expression instantly became weird.

"Hmmmmm..." Ling Xiaolu closed his eyes and raised his head, showing a very intoxicated expression. This is a rare delicacy in the world, it has surpassed the pleasure that food can bring, the faint cherry blossom fragrance transmits sweetness to every molecule of the body through the taste buds, until the body becomes lighter and lighter, floating to the The sky, merged with the clouds. Ling Xiaolu couldn't help taking a deep breath, immersing himself in a sense of happiness.

On the other hand, Ji Meng was still staring blankly at his empty fingers. Ling Xiaolu licked his fingertips when he took the ball from his hand.

"Ah, delicious—" Ling Xiaolu sighed sincerely for a long time, he buried his head on Ji Meng's right knee, rubbed his cheeks uncontrollably, rubbed left and right, suddenly turned over to rub the back of his head, and suddenly rolled back .

"It's so delicious, how can there be such delicious food?" Ling Xiaolu finally calmed down a little and asked with wide eyes, "What the hell is this?"

Ji Meng looked down at him with complicated expressions: "This is... a ball that adds loyalty to pets..."

Ling Xiaolu woke up suddenly, and found that he was still resting on Ji Meng's lap. He panicked and shouted incoherently to Ji Meng on the ground: "Pet, then you, it's pet food, why didn't you say it earlier!"

"Because you look like you want to eat..."

"Then you can't just feed me! You can refuse me! What if I eat poisonous-ah!"

The chattering Ling Xiaolu jumped up with an electric spark from the soles of his feet, which made him jump back a step. Rao was still electrocuted like this, and it felt a little imaginary pain.

As soon as he lowered his head, Ji Meng's pet glared at him hostilely, his cheeks bulging and angry.

Ji Meng quickly took away the pet that caused the accident, and explained a little embarrassedly: "You stole its ration, it is a little angry."

"..." Ling Xiaolu was silent for a moment, then suddenly squatted down and cried with a "wow".

His crying is fake, his grievance is real: "Why am I so unlucky, I was chased and beaten by you on the first day I went online, and the crowd looked at me like a monkey. You caught me in such a place and tricked me into eating dog food, Even your baby bullies me, I just want to play a game quietly, whoever messes with me, wow…”

Of course, the most aggrieved thing was that he couldn't say about the collar. The more Ling Xiaolu thought about it, the more sad he became, and the fake cry also brought three points of truth.

The first time Ji Meng saw a boy cry when he said he was crying, he was also a little flustered. Ling Xiaolu's accusations sounded so reasonable that he couldn't refute them, but he couldn't even apologize, so he could only bite the bullet and be vicious. He asked, "What do you want?"

Ling Xiaolu was silent. After a while, he pretended to wipe his eyes and raised his chin: "Send me back to town."

"no."

Ling Xiaolu: …

Ji Meng didn't know why he refused without thinking: "Change another one."

"..." Ling Xiaolu was silent for a while, "Then I want to spank you Pikachu's ass."

"It's not Pikachu, it's Lei Lulu." Ji Meng called the baby out again, but hesitated. Lei Lulu grabbed Ji Meng's wrist tightly with her short hands, tears rolling in her big round eyes, but not a single drop fell. Ling Xiaolu just took a peek and almost scolded, it's just an AI, do you want to be so playful!

"This one doesn't work either," Ji Meng made a gesture, and put the baby away again, "and another one."

If Ling Xiaolu couldn't beat him, he would have done it long ago. What he was most annoyed about was not Ji Meng's protection, but the fact that Ji Meng took a photo before he was favored! He's someone who's done novice tasks, and he recognizes that gesture! Who is this!

"Forget it, I'll go by myself." Ling Xiaolu was about to take a step forward, and several red-name monsters nearby all looked at him, and he shrank back again.

Ji Meng stood up, patted the unnecessary soil on his body, whistled, and the dark flying (fat) dragon flapped its wings, exhaled hot air, and flew in whirring.

He stretched out his hand to carry Ling Xiaolu's back collar as usual, but the other party shrank his neck and held it empty. Ji Meng's hand stayed in the air for a long time, and finally changed his route, grabbed Ling Xiaolu's waist, hugged him and jumped onto the dragon's back. Of course, he still remembered that this guy was a patient with a fear of heights, so he kindly reminded him: "Hold tight."

After he finished speaking, Ji Meng realized it was superfluous. Ling Xiaolu hugged his waist tightly from the moment he left the ground. Ji Meng rubbed the dragon's neck twice, and his arms around his waist tightened accordingly. .

Ji Meng turned his head, and the guy who had avoided him before was now sticking his whole body on his back, wishing he could stick it tighter.

After hesitating, he leaned into the horse's ear and gave an order. The giant dragon raised its head and exhaled a nose of thick smoke, and ran towards the northwest with a "dong dong dong", raising a trail of dust. This kind of flying mount was not originally designed for walking on land. The proportions of the body and legs were seriously uncoordinated. The stubby calves supported the huge body, and it looked very funny from a distance. The earth vibrated under its feet, and the nearby monsters did not respond in time, and were knocked out by the huge body dozens of meters away.
