Ling Xiaolu stared at Ji Meng for a long time, until Ji Meng suspected that there were mushrooms growing on his face.
He subconsciously reached out and touched: "Is there something wrong with my face?"
Ling Xiaolu shook his head vigorously, then continued to stare intently.
Ji Meng didn't have plastic surgery? He looks so handsome, but he hasn't had plastic surgery yet
Ling Xiaolu suddenly understood what a jealous person is, someone like Ji Meng, who is tall, rich, and handsome, and doesn't care about other people's feelings at all.
Recalling that when they first met, he rudely complained about Ji Meng's behavior of playing games with his real name, and even persuaded the other party to change his name.
Obviously this name is very important to him, but Ji Meng didn't have a word to explain.
Ji Meng was stared furiously by him: "No problem, what have you been staring at me for?"
"Look at how handsome you are." So handsome that he could stare at him for six hours!
The overly straightforward compliment made Ji Meng's cheeks fly with a strange redness: "There's something wrong!"
After a while he asked again, "What did Nan Xun tell you?"
Ling Xiaolu has become abnormal since chatting with Nan Xun alone.
"Have I let you down?"
When Ling Xiaolu opened his mouth, the ambient temperature dropped a few degrees.
Ji Meng twisted his face dutifully: "...No."
Rather than saying that Ji Meng was comforting him, he was convincing himself: "If you don't stand up in that situation, then it's not you. You who will stand up for others..."
Ji Meng's eyes drifted to Ling Xiaolu again, with understanding, but also a strong reluctance: "It's the Lubi I know."
"… "
Ling Xiaolu pulled Ji Meng and ran out.
"… where?"
"There's a double live broadcast tonight, have you forgotten?"
Of course Ji Meng didn't forget, but he thought that Ling Xiaolu should not have the heart to play casual games under such circumstances, just like him.
So Ji Meng behaved negatively: "What do you want to play?"
Ling Xiaolu called Chuya without hesitation, he had an intuition, asking Chuya this kind of question would get the best result.
Lubi: The last live broadcast tonight, I recommend a game!
The first buds return in seconds.
Early shoots: Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies.
Chuya: Remember this game has only one life!
The name sounds a bit romantic, and Ling Xiaolu would never consider it in the past. He prefers adventure, action and exciting games.
But today, Ling Xiaolu pointed at the name and pressed "enter the game" without hesitation.
The scene has changed, and around them, there are many people dressed as NPCs... or maybe they are NPCs.
"Welcome to two guests, are you here to experience the holographic online game?"
"Holographic online game?" Ling Xiaolu looked at Ji Meng in confusion, confirming that he had never played this game before.
"Isn't this a holographic online game?"
NPC: "You're joking, this is the real world. Holographic online games are the latest technology developed by our company."
They watched an NPC walk into the game warehouse, and the other NPC closed the warehouse door after explaining a few words to him.
"Through our game warehouse, you can experience a brand new fantasy continent. There are completely different customs, don't you want to try it?"
"Okay." Ling Xiaolu is willing to believe Chu Ya once, "Just play this."
The NPC took the two to two adjacent positions: "There is only one caveat in this game, that is, each person has only one life, please be sure to cherish it."
This is also consistent with what the first sprout said.
"understood."
Ling Xiaolu lay in the warehouse, and finally glanced at Ji Meng next door, and found that the other party was also looking at him.
Before there was time to communicate more, the warehouse door slowly closed, blocking the sight of the two, and then it was pitch black.
…
A chalk tip was thrown onto Ling Xiaolu's head, and he got up from the desk in pain.
"Ling Xiaolu, stand up!"
Ling Xiaolu stood up reflexively when he heard the voice of the head teacher.
But when he saw the person in front of him clearly, he still made a surprised voice.
"... Teacher Luo?"
There was laughter from below, Ling Xiaolu looked at the familiar faces around him in surprise, his high school classmates who had been away for several months.
"There's still a week for the college entrance examination, but you still dare to sleep in class?"
"High school, college entrance examination?" Ling Xiaolu has not completely shaken off the shadow of these two words, "Isn't the test already finished?"
"Hahahaha..." The whole class burst into laughter.
The head teacher's face went out of shape: "What are you talking about in your sleep during the day?"
"Am I not playing games?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha… "
"I see you haven't woken up!"
Ling Xiaolu panicked, was he really just dreaming just now
Ji Meng, Li Zheng, Jin Dou, Nan Xun... Are these the people in his dream
Then this dream is too detailed and too real!
"How can this game be like this? I have already finished the exam."
Ling Xiaolu was about to cry aggrievedly. What could be more terrifying than letting a former candidate who bid farewell to the college entrance examination three months ago travel to a week before the college entrance examination? !
The head teacher was furious: "Ling Xiaolu! Give me a standing class!"
…
"Ji Meng, Ji Meng, wake up!"
Ji Meng opened his eyes suddenly, sat up alertly and looked around, and recognized from the surrounding furniture that it was in his own home.
Chang Huanxi was taken aback by his abnormal performance: "Are you awake? It scared me to death."
"... Chang Huanxi?"
"... What's wrong with you, brother? Had a nightmare?" Chang Huanxi wanted to test Ji Meng's forehead temperature, but was stopped by the other party.
"Why am I here?"
"This is your home, where are you not here?" Chang Huanxi asked strangely.
"Then why are you here?"
"...I'm here to find you, brother!"
"Am I not online?"
"Online? What were you just playing?"
"The Elf Contract."
"I haven't heard of anyone's game."
"… "
Chang Huanxi's face was as usual, and she couldn't tell that she was lying.
"Xinshan's game, you are also playing."
"Come on," Chang Huanxi said with disgust, "how could I possibly play your game."
"Why not?"
"Hey, let me give you a little something, what are the masterpieces of Xinshan's masterpiece?"
He counted with his fingers: ""The Swordsman Romance 33", "The New Swordsman Romance Forty-six", "The Swordsman Romance Online Version 108"... It's hard to find someone who has no love, "VR Swordsman World"! You Look, how uncharacteristic it is, catching an IP and letting your family plan to change their name is harder than letting them grow thick hair!"
"… "
Ji Meng seemed to think that Chang Huanxi was right. He knows all those games... But where did "Elf Contract" go
He looked down suddenly nervously to examine his fingers.
"Where's my ring?"
"What ring? Are you married?"
"How about a deer better than others?"
"Who is this? Your fiancee?"
Chang Huanxi quickly denied her logic: "No, you shouldn't be called a fiancee when you get married."
"What day is today?"
"Can you still remember to ask?" Chang Huanxi showed a "final" expression, "Today is the opening day of the university, aren't you going to be late for the first day of school?"
"… "
Ji Meng was dragged by Chang Huanxi to the gate of the university without knowing why, and the words Yanshan University were clearly in his eyes.
On the way here, he secretly searched the Internet for "Elf Contract", but as Chang Huanxi said, he could not find any information related to it.
Is everything that happened before a dream
This is ridiculous too.
Chang Huanxi was immersed in the excitement of the beginning of campus life: "Smoke big! Here we come!"
Ji Meng was dragged in by him with a lot of thought. Along the way, there were freshmen who came to report. These two people were outstanding in appearance, which attracted a lot of direct or implicit scrutiny.
Chang Huanxi was accustomed to it, and even replied generously, but Ji Meng always frowned, and his eyes hardly left the ground.
"I understand." Ji Meng, who was silent all the way, finally spoke.
"What do you want to understand?"
"I'm still in the game, it's a holographic world."
Chang Huanxi stopped: "Aren't you sick, brother?"
He had the urge to check Ji Meng's temperature again.
"Are you an NPC?"
"… "
Chang Huanxi: "I'm your uncle!"
What a hell of a morning.
"Ji Meng, are you alright?" Chang Huanxi wanted to open his head to see if water had entered. "You've been talking nonsense since you woke up. What did you dream about last night?"
"I dreamed... No, not a dream, I was in a holographic game before, experiencing another holographic game."
"Ha," Chang Huanxi laughed, "Is it so creative? If you come to Net Zero as a planner, I will apply to the company for the highest annual salary for you."
He leaned over and whispered: "Make sure you have the most hair in the same position."
Ji Meng shook his head: "No, there must be a way to prove that you are an NPC."
"how to prove?"
"I killed you, and you will refresh after a while."
Chang Huanxi jumped two meters away: "Ji Meng! Are you crazy?"
The movement was too loud, attracting the attention of passers-by, and some people were watching them and whispering.
Chang Huanxi didn't want to be famous on campus as a victim of the "School Murder Massacre" as soon as he entered the school. He is now sure that Ji Meng's brain is really in the water.
"Don't say it, I want to stay away from you. Well, you are reporting over there, I am here, you must not come with me, keep your distance!"
Ji Meng: "..."
"Contact me when you're back to normal! Bye~!" Chang Huanxi trotted away, clutching her stomach, for fear that Ji Meng could not help but stab herself.
The reality and the virtual are not clear, the Internet addicted teenager is really scary!
Ji Meng didn't know where to go, so he continued to walk in the direction Chang Huanxi pointed.
Along the way, he called both his family and Ji Qing. They all expressed concern about Ji Meng's university report, but none of them had heard of "Elf Contract".
Ji Qing even asked him, do you want to develop new projects
After hanging up, Ji Meng rummaged through the address book, but couldn't find the name Lubi.
"Are you a freshman here to report?"
A female voice made him suddenly stand up and look up, only to see two strange girls standing in front of him.
The light in their eyes was so familiar that Ji Meng was afraid that the next time they spoke, they would be called "husband".
Another girl spoke up: "Junior brother—"
Ji Meng's heart was relieved, fortunately, God knows that he was about to run away just now.
It's shameful enough to be chased by a brain-dead female fan in the game, he doesn't want to run into a landscape on the campus - even if the campus is fake.
"Junior, are you lost? Which academy are you from, let us take a look?"
Ji Meng sacrificed the tempered strangers to not be aggressive: "No."
The two senior sisters covered half of their mouths excitedly: "This class is so good~"
Ji Meng: "..."
Senior Sister did not retreat: "Then let's exchange contact information, shall we?"
Just as Ji Meng wanted to refuse, he retracted his words and held out a thumb instead.
Senior Sister doesn't understand: "This is... the meaning of giving us a thumbs up?"
"Shouldn't it be to praise you for being awesome?" Another person joked.
Ji Meng retracted silently, bypassing them and walking away without a word.
Game interaction gestures are invalid!
"Hey, junior, we haven't exchanged contact information yet!"
The voice came from behind, and Ji Meng turned a deaf ear.
What he wants to know most now is, where has Lubi gone
If he is also in this world, how can he find him in the vast crowd
It is also impossible for him to use repeated rebirth to find him. The NPC said that there is only one life in this world.
What's more... Lubi is an AI! How can he find a non-physical AI in human society
As he walked, there were more people around him. The students passed by him chatting and laughing. The building on the left had the words "Second Dining Hall" written on it.
This is the college campus he imagined, but it shouldn't be now.
A small golden head flashed by in the crowd, a familiar figure, a familiar figure, Ji Meng's pupils shrank suddenly, is that...
The endless stream of people kept blocking his sight, Ji Meng anxiously swept away the crowd, passed through the obstacles, and grabbed the teenager's wrist from behind.
"Luby!"
Ling Xiaolu turned back in fright, and the stunned expression was fixed in Ji Meng's sight.
The deer in the dream met his eyes, and this glance alone was enough to engrave a chip, implant it in his mind, and remember it for thousands of years.
