Gu Jiu was biting a straw in his mouth, drinking milk from the box intermittently, his eyes fixed on the door of the tavern. After the four players came in, he just glanced at them casually, and when he found that Lu Ji was not there, he quickly looked away.
Hearing someone calling her, she looked again.
Gu Jiu glanced casually at the four people, acting very indifferent, as if he didn't know them.
Jiang Ze looked over and scanned the four people.
The person who spoke just now was a young man with a mixed-race appearance, exceptionally handsome, and a physique taller and stronger than the average oriental male. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Gu Jiu, with a look of shock and surprise on his face. It was obvious that he was very surprised to see Gu Jiu here.
Next to this man was a girl with big wavy hair and delicate makeup on her face, looking charming and mature.
Like the man, her expression also looked shocked, but compared to the man's undisguised surprise, her face looked a little ugly, as if she didn't want to see Gu Jiu here.
The remaining man and woman did not know Gu Jiu, and they looked at him with curiosity and unfamiliarity.
Because the man's voice was not disguised, everyone in the pub looked over.
Chai Yingying, who was trying to get information, came over and stood beside Gu Jiu to show her support. No matter if the other party is an old friend or an enemy, it is always right to stand with the eldest lady first.
The mixed-race man who came in walked quickly and stood in front of Gu Jiu.
He stared at Gu Jiu with his eyes, and said in surprise: "Gu Jiu, when did you become a player? Why didn't you tell me?"
Gu Jiu asked curiously: "Why should I tell you? I didn't know you were a player."
Man: “…” What she said made sense, because he didn’t expect Gu Jiu to be a player.
Then, the man looked at Gu Jiu for a moment and said in a sighing tone: "Gu Jiu, you haven't changed."
The fact that Gu Jiu can appear here proves that she is now a B-level player. This shows that she has experienced many game worlds, but she still looks like the person he knows, which shows that the game world has not much influence on her.
Gu Jiu's reaction was very calm, he just hummed casually.
The man didn't care and continued, "If I had known you were also a player, I would have gone to Hai City to find you."
He had a look of regret on his face. Ever since Gu became a player, he had put too much thought into the game world and Boundless City, and as a result, he hadn't seen Gu Jiu for two years.
He originally wanted to wait until he became stronger and more confident in the tasks in the game world before finding time to look for Gu Jiu.
Hearing this, Chai Yingying and Jiang Ze immediately understood that this man and Gu Jiu were players from the same world.
Contrary to the man's regret, the woman beside him looked uglier and uglier, and finally couldn't help but speak out, "Gu Jiu, does Dad know that you've become a player?"
Gu Jiu finally gave her a look, "Who are you? What is the relationship between your father and me?"
"you!"
Everyone present could see that the woman was so angry that her body was shaking. This showed how powerful the young lady was in making people angry.
In other words, she cared a lot about Gu Jiu's attitude, so she could get angry because of her words.
Gu Jiu no longer paid attention to them.
Even if they were from the same world and knew each other, she still had the same attitude.
Although he looks like a very gentle person, his attitude is so contemptuous and casual that it really makes people angry.
Chai Yingying suddenly understood that it seemed that these two people did not have a good relationship with the eldest lady in the real world. The man was okay, he was just an ordinary friend, and the eldest lady was willing to pay some attention to him, but there must be a gap between them and the woman.
Listening to the sentence "Does Dad know?", it is reasonable to guess that these two people are sisters.
But they are definitely not biological sisters. They may be half sisters, and their relationship is not that good.
Seeing Chen Zhiru so angry, the other two players wanted to help her and said hurriedly: "Huo Ting, Chen Zhiru, let's go to the counter first to ask about the situation."
They had just entered the tavern and knew nothing about the situation in the tavern. They should first find out the situation in the tavern instead of looking for someone to reminisce about the past. There were quite a few players in the tavern. In addition to the players, there were also some NPCs who could be used to get information.
Huo Ting did not delay his business. He looked at Gu Jiu deeply and went to the counter with his companions.
Chen Zhiru stared at Gu Jiu with a terrifying look in her eyes. Just when everyone thought she was going to do something, she turned around and followed the three people.
Seeing the four people leave, Chai Yingying asked with a gossipy look on her face: "Miss, who are they?"
"One is a family friend, and the other is a stranger."
The old friend refers to Huo Ting, so she gave him some face. The person she was not familiar with was Chen Zhiru.
Seeing that she had no intention of talking anymore, Chai Yingying did not ask any more questions. If she was not mistaken, the handsome man named Huo Ting had a very special feeling for the young lady. Could he be the young lady's suitor in the real world
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Huo Ting.
No matter how handsome or manly you look, it’s useless. The eldest lady likes delicate and gentle girls, especially those who are well-behaved and obedient like Ji Mei, who can act like a spoiled brat and live off her.
Gender alone is not enough to attract the young lady.
Huo Ting and his three companions also did not get any useful information from the tavern owner, but after all, they were all players, and a player nearby kindly told them about the situation of Ella Town and the tavern.
The four of them immediately decided to book the last two rooms.
There were two men and two women, and the two rooms had just been allocated.
After getting the room key, Huo Ting did not go upstairs to rest, but walked towards Gu Jiu.
Chen Zhiru followed with a tense face.
Huo Ting sat opposite Gu Jiu, staring at her deeply with a pair of eyes, smiling very happily, and said, "Gu Jiu, I'm so glad to meet you here."
In fact, what made him happiest was that Gu Jiu remained unchanged.
It seemed that no matter what happened, she was still the proud eldest daughter of the Gu family, and nothing could change her, not even the dangerous game world.
Only those who are also players know how dangerous the gaming world is. And how many players have come all the way, and when they look back, they suddenly realize that although they have survived in the gaming world, they have become unrecognizable and completely different from their original selves.
The gaming world is the best way to train and change people.
Only Gu Jiu had not changed. He could tell at a glance that she was still the Gu Jiu he was familiar with.
Gu Jiu's eyes were still fixed on the door, and he asked, "When did you become players?"
"I was there two years ago, and Chen Zhiru was there a year and a half ago." Huo Ting said, and suddenly thought of something, and asked quickly, "I heard that your eyesight deteriorated. Is it better now?"
Gu Jiu stroked his glasses, "It's still the same. Only by becoming an S-level player can my eyes heal."
Huo Ting pursed his lips and said, "After hearing that you had problems with your eyesight, I wanted to see if I could find medicine to treat your eyes from Wujie City..."
"Who told you that?" Gu Jiu glanced at Chen Zhiru beside him.
Chen Zhiru sat there stiffly. Under her gaze, he felt the blood run cold and his body turned ice-cold.
"Chen Zhiru said so." Huo Ting was a very down-to-earth person. "Once Chen Zhiru mentioned to me that you are very pitiful now."
"Yeah?"
Under Gu Jiu's half-smiley gaze, Chen Zhiru felt uneasy and almost couldn't help but escape from this embarrassing place.
But she didn't leave, she gritted her teeth and held on.
But where no one could see, she desperately dug her fingers into the palm of her hand, using the pain to divert her attention. She felt ashamed and angry in her heart, and the immense embarrassment almost overwhelmed her.
Huo Ting was not stupid. After taking a look at Chen Zhiru, he understood her mentality when she said this. He looked at her suspiciously, "Chen Zhiru, you wouldn't use the player's means to do anything to the Gu family, right?"
He was well aware of the grudge between Chen Zhiru and Gu Jiu, and did not favor her just because Chen Zhiru was his teammate.
"I didn't!" Chen Zhiru said immediately, "You know, I didn't do anything."
She just hid behind the scenes, supporting the Chen family to rise and become the top wealthy family in Hai City again, while letting the Chen family dig a hole for the Gu family. She knew that the Gu family treated Gu Jiu as a treasure and would be very anxious about her eye problem, so she used some means to trick the Gu family, and then suppress the Gu family and make the Gu family become the former Chen family.
A low-ranking family that anyone could step on.
But after a few months, the Gu family ignored the trap set by the Chen family.
At that time, she was still very puzzled as to how the Gu family could be so patient. Was it because the Gu family's favor towards Gu Jiu was just for show? She was very happy about this. Gu Jiu had been the eldest daughter of the Gu family for twenty years, but it turned out to be just like this.
Only now did she realize that she was too happy too early.
The reason why the Gu family didn't fall for it must be because Gu Jiu was also a player and knew his own situation, so he naturally wouldn't be fooled.
She had thought about using some tricks to trip up the Gu family. As long as the Gu family went bankrupt and Gu Jiu was no longer the eldest daughter of the Gu family, she would see how arrogant she could still be. She would still look down on her from a high position and treat her and the Chen family as ants with disdain.
But she didn't dare, because Huo Ting would never allow her to do so.
Even though Huo Ting and she are both players, they are born to be in the same camp and separate from ordinary people. Logically speaking, Gu Jiu, as an ordinary person, cannot be compared with them, but Huo Ting likes Gu Jiu.
As long as Huo Ting likes Gu Jiu, she can't do anything to Gu Jiu and the Gu family.
In the past, she could still comfort herself. What's the point of Huo Ting liking Gu Jiu? Gu Jiu is just an ordinary person. Ordinary people have short lifespans and fragile bodies. Players cannot be with ordinary people.
Until I found out that Gu Jiu was also a player, this kind of luck suddenly became ridiculous.
Huo Ting still looked at her suspiciously.
Seeing the distrust on his face, Chen Ruzhi's face became even uglier. He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood and couldn't help but glare at Gu Jiu.
She has discovered that no matter where or when, Gu Jiu is indeed her nemesis, and will always be the nemesis of her eldest daughter. Even though she is now a player, she still has to endure the humiliation of Gu Jiu, the eldest daughter.
Huo Ting looked at Gu Jiu and asked directly, "Gu Jiu, is there anything going on in the Gu family recently?"
"No." Gu Jiu gave Chen Zhiru an exceptionally gentle smile, "My family is fine."
Huo Ting then smiled and said to Chen Zhiru: "Zhiru, you did a good job. Being a player is not a reason for you to attack ordinary people."
Chen Zhiru said stiffly: "Brother Ting, don't worry, I know, I don't want to use player methods to do anything."
In fact, she was vomiting blood in her heart. She wanted to kill Gu Jiu, the hateful bitch, with her own tricks! Then she wanted to bankrupt the Gu family and return to them all the things they had done to the Chen family over the years.
… …
Chai Yingying looked at Huo Ting and felt a bit of admiration in her heart. He turned out to be a rare handsome guy with a positive outlook on life.
Seeing this, she understood.
Chen Zhiru likes Huo Ting, but Huo Ting likes the eldest lady. Even though they previously thought that the eldest lady was an ordinary person, he still likes her. This fact makes Chen Zhiru so angry that he wants to vomit blood, but he has no way to deal with it.
To Chen Zhiru, the eldest lady was like a nightmare that she could not escape from no matter where she was.
So the eldest daughter is still the most powerful. People who hate her can never escape the crushing oppression from the eldest daughter no matter what.
It's a rare opportunity to meet in the gaming world, and Huo Ting really hopes to have a good chat with Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu's attitude was pretty good. He treated him like an ordinary friend and briefly told him about how he became a player.
As he was speaking, someone else came in from outside.
