Ling Xiaolu's expression went from stunned, to surprise, to excited as if he had seen a long-lost relative. Tears rolled in his eyes, and he was about to burst out.
He rushed over desperately, and his voice was accompanied by a cry: "Husband! I finally found you!"
Ji Meng: ? ?
All the students around looked over.
"This year's freshmen are really unrestrained."
"Youth is passion."
Ji Meng awkwardly held Ling Xiaolu in his arms among the curious crowd, nervously not knowing what expression to use to deal with the eyes of eating melons around him, wishing to find a barrier to isolate this place from the world.
But even so, he didn't mean to push the other side away, and let Ling Xiaolu bury the whole person in his chest, and put his hands on the other side's back at a loss.
After a long time, Ling Xiaolu raised his head: "So I wasn't dreaming! I almost wondered if I was crazy!"
Five minutes later, the two sat face to face in the second dining hall, Ling Xiaolu could not wait to pour out his past experiences to Ji Meng in one breath.
"I woke up a week before the college entrance examination, I thought it was a game planner joking with me, but I didn't expect it to be true!
"I actually took another college entrance examination like this! Again! Do you understand the feeling of that nightmare repeating itself? Fortunately, I still remember how to answer the questions, otherwise I would really be killed in the examination room!"
he said excitedly.
"After the college entrance examination, I went to the game store where I bought the peripherals for the first time, do you know what the clerk said to me
"There is no "Elf Contract" game at all! Follow! Ben! No! Yes!
"So what have I been playing for the past few months? Am I schizophrenic?"
Ji Meng patted him: "Don't get excited, you are calm and calm."
Ling Xiaolu took a long breath and continued: "Then I checked on the Internet, guess what? There is no information about this game at all! Xin Shan has never done "Elf Contract" at all, only various versions "Swordsman Love"!
"Then I checked your name, President Cha Xinshan's nephew, Sister Cha... In short, I checked everything I knew, but found nothing! There is no evidence to prove that my experience in the past few months is real! "
In reality, Ji Meng pays more attention to privacy. Neither his name nor his photo have appeared in the media. It is normal that Ling Xiaolu can't find it.
"Then something even weirder happened. It seemed that I had a whole summer vacation, and it seemed that it had only been a day. I don't even know how long I have lived in this world. The point is, in my memory, For three whole months, I was doing math every day until yesterday!"
Ling Xiaolu grabbed Ji Meng's hand incoherently: "If my husband hadn't seen you today, I really thought I was crazy, and made up a completely non-existent memory, and no one believed what I said!"
"Don't worry, don't worry," Ji Meng put his other hand up to reassure him, "I'm here now, I can prove it."
After Ling Xiaolu confided all this, he felt a sense of relief.
"Great, I can finally prove that I'm not schizophrenic. What the hell is this game? The holographic world in the holographic world, which world are we in now? Is this world real? How do we go back?"
Ji Meng couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Are you... hungry? Why don't you think while eating. It is said that this canteen is very famous in Yanda."
Ling Xiaolu nodded vigorously: "I want to, I only feel that I am real when I eat."
They came to a window at random, and the AI staff greeted warmly: "Classmate, what would you like to eat?"
Ling Xiaolu asked curiously, "The second cafeteria is so advanced that even the auntie is AI?"
The reason why it can be distinguished at a glance is because the AI here is all economical, the upper body is a realistic human, and the lower body is a machine crawler, which is blocked by a window, and there is no difference at all from a distance.
Auntie Dafan explained: "It was also held by ordinary humans before, but because of frequent beatings by classmates, it was replaced by AI."
Ji Meng & Ling Xiaolu: "… "
Often beaten by classmates, how bad is this cafeteria? !
They didn't hold out any hope, and just asked for something. Ling Xiaolu also bought an extra bun that was strongly recommended by his aunt. It is said that it is a special product here.
Ji Meng stared at Ling Xiaolu, who was burying himself in hard work, for a moment. He never dreamed that he and Ling Xiaolu, who did not exist, could get along in this way in reality.
How great would it be if this was not an inner world, but a real world
He reached out his hand subconsciously and wiped off the residue from the corner of Ling Xiaolu's mouth: "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Ling Xiaolu agreed very quickly, but the speed of eating did not slow down at all.
Thinking that this might be Ling Xiaolu's first time eating "real" food, Ji Meng suddenly regretted it. Why didn't he take him out to eat better, why should his first experience be so simple.
Ling Xiaolu swallowed what was in his mouth: "What do you think?"
"I suspect that most of the people here are NPCs."
"But they're exactly the same people I know! I've looked closely, and even the mole on the corner of my high school head teacher's mouth is exactly where it is. The technology of this built-in game is really scary!"
"But since you and I are players, there must be other people. You forgot that when we were in that game scene, we saw another NPC enter the game room with our own eyes, indicating that in this world, he is the so-called player."
"But the real world is too big, so players dilute it, trying to find it is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack."
"We don't need to find them, we can try to find clues, or key NPCs, there may be hints to guide us back."
"I can only think of one sentence from the existing prompts," Ling Xiaolu recalled the same sentence said to him by two different subjects, "This game has only one life."
Since both of them have emphasized it, it is very important to explain this sentence, otherwise why didn't Chu Ya reveal other information to him
"I guess this sentence is to warn us that we can't treat this place like a game and seek death casually."
"Who would seek death in such a real world?" Humans all have survival instincts, right
"But what will happen if I die?" Ji Meng suddenly reacted, "The company cannot let players get involved in dangerous paths, even if it is the most difficult level, the first thing to ensure is the personal safety of players."
How did Ling Xiaolu forget that Prince Xinshan knew Xinshan best.
"Could it be that after you die in this world, you will automatically return to the game?"
The idea is bold, but logical, but no one is going to try it lightly.
"Brother! Are you eating here too?"
Ling Xiaolu looked up, Liu Yemei, Taohuayan, such a familiar stranger, even if it was the first time he met, he recognized it at a glance:
"Xi'er? Why are you!"
"Who is Xi'er?" Chang Huanxi pinched her chin, "but this name is a bit cool. I'll call it this next time I play games. Oh, by the way, who are you? Why are you with my brother Ji Meng? have a meal together?"
Ling Xiaolu:
Ji covered his head without raising his head: "He's an NPC."
"Damn it! You're not cured yet!" Chang Huanxi shouted, "Don't you think you still want to kill me?"
"You want to kill Xi'er?" Ling Xiaolu was startled.
"I just wanted to see if he could refresh."
"Tell me, is this person speaking human words?" Chang Huanxi pulled Ling Xiaolu to ask him to judge, "I have been his only brother for so many years."
"I don't quite understand. If you just want to try and see if the NPC can be refreshed, why not kill an ant?"
Ji Meng: "..."
Chang Huanxi: "… "
"Why are you so smart?" Chang Huanxi took Ling Xiaolu's shoulder excitedly, "Are you also a freshman? Which college, I really miss you lately!"
Ji Meng frowned: "Let go of him!"
"...You shouldn't be my brother's fiancée, right?"
Ling Xiaolu hurriedly denied: "What did you say?"
Chang Huanxi tapped her forehead lightly: "Why am I stupid again, I can't be called my fiancee when I'm married."
Ling Xiaolu: ? ! !
Ji Meng stood up: "I think we don't want ants anymore, just this."
Chang Huanxi rushed out ten meters away like lightning: "You two eat slowly, don't disturb the two of you, dear!"
"Leave him alone, Ji Meng pushed the plate opposite," continued eating. "
Ling Xiaolu only had one bun left.
He took a bite: "I think..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and Ji Meng was slightly surprised.
"What's wrong?"
Ling Xiaolu had a strange expression: "No, nothing."
He turned over the bag containing the buns and read the words written on it:
—Er canteen buns, a century-old brand!
—Inherited for five hundred years, the classic taste will never change!
There is also a small line below:
- With this package, you can get 10% off at the next-door big pharmacy.
Ling Xiaolu: "…"
Ji Meng saw that he was tangled with the steamed buns, and didn't take a second bite.
"are you full?"
"Uh... yes..."
Ji Meng leaned forward slightly, and took away the bun in his hand with a long hand, as if the same thing had happened hundreds of times.
Ling Xiaolu hurriedly stopped: "I've bitten!"
Ji Meng returned to him with a "so what?" expression, and bit down on the part Ling Xiaolu had bitten... The movement froze.
Ling Xiaolu said embarrassedly, "This traditional flavor seems a bit unique."
More than unique, Ji Meng began to wonder if Ling Xiaolu planned to eat it if he didn't bring it over
Why let AI have such a big misunderstanding of human food
Ji Meng frowned and wiped out the buns that Ling Xiaolu had eaten. He felt the eyes from the opposite side, almost worshipping him.
Not only on the opposite side, but someone on the right also seemed to be staring at him. Ji Meng turned his head, and a couple at the next table cast envious glances.
"newborn?"
"... Hmm." Ji Meng replied unhappily.
"You know, the couple's challenge circulating on the campus of the University of Tobacco, the second most difficult level is to help the other half solve the second canteen buns that he can't eat."
Ji Meng: "..."
"What is the most difficult level?" Ling Xiaolu asked curiously.
"Jump on Mount Luo."
Monluo Mountain, a famous scenic spot in the suburbs of Hushuo, is also a popular pilgrimage site for couples because of many legends.
Ling Xiaolu and Ji Meng had both been to Monluo Mountain. Ji Meng went with his family when he was about ten years old. Ling Xiaolu Junior High School organized a summer camp and spent two days and one night in the mountain.
At that time, they were both young and didn't leave a deep impression. The two of them projected the holographic model of Monluo Mountain, only to discover that there were many attractions that they hadn't noticed before.
This model is made by the tourism department, and the corresponding introduction will pop up when the finger touches the scenic spot.
"Hundred birds facing the phoenix - a place for birds to rest during the bird migration season, it seems that it has nothing to do with the game."
"Clouds steaming Xia Wei - the best spot to observe the sunset, I seem to have been here and took pictures."
…
"Huh?" Ling Xiaolu opened a spot, "Look here."
"Let it die... and then live?" Ji Meng read out the name of the scenic spot, "The name is very strange."
Ling Xiaolu then read the following explanation: "According to legend, in ancient times, there was a couple who were opposed by their family members and eloped into the forest - an ancient story - unfortunately, they had no vision at night, and unfortunately they both fell into the cliff.
"A year later, the two appeared unharmed, claiming that they accidentally fell into the door of another world, and everyone was amazed."
"The door to another world!" The two said in unison.
Ling Xiaolu immediately connected to the Internet and retrieved all the news related to the keyword "Muluoshan will die and live again".
"Look, it's said here that this attraction is a challenge for couples!"
"There have been as many as 63 cases of missing tourists in the past year. It's unreasonable that the accident rate is so high that it's not being managed."
"It is also said that there are more than 100 similar scenic spots in the country, and the common point is that the missing rate of tourists is extremely high!"
"So these tourists are not missing, but players who have found a way to go back."
Ling Xiaolu gave him a high five excitedly: "It's here, that's right!"
The transportation in this era is extremely convenient. At any nearby traffic point, you can take a high-speed flight to Monluo Mountain. Not only can you choose the foot of the mountain as your destination, you can even go directly to the top of the mountain.
The scenic spot is closer to the top of the mountain, and the two set up the top route on the driving panel.
Taking the aircraft in the holographic game of the holographic game, Ling Xiaolu felt a little novel, and kept looking down at the glass.
Ji Meng looked at the back of his golden-yellow head and couldn't help but want to touch it. It was soft and felt exactly like in the game.
Ling Xiaolu turned his head: "What?"
Ji masked and lied without changing his face: "You had something in your hair just now."
Ling Xiaolu believed it to be true, and he scratched it casually twice, and a tuft of dull hair was raised on the top of his head mischievously.
This was the first time they were in the same "reality" in a small and closed space.
Although the temperature is suitable, Keji Meng still feels hot.
The navigation showed that they had driven halfway, and Ji Meng suddenly didn't like this mode of transportation. Why did it drive so fast
This may even be the only chance for him to have contact with Ling Xiaolu in "reality".
Why not take the three-and-a-half-hour sightseeing bus
Why not take a donkey cart
He once again regretted his decision today.
When he thought that Ling Xiaolu would be bound to Li Zheng when he went back, he became even more irritable.
If he can, he really wants to stay here forever, stay here, Ling Xiaolu takes the appearance of a human, and stays in the world within his reach.
Ling Xiaolu yawned, his little head bit by bit.
Ji Meng secretly slowed down the speed of the aircraft while he was dozing off.
