After returning from Wujie City, Gu Jiu simply washed up and went to bed, sleeping until noon the next day.
Today is Saturday, and the Gu family is all resting at home. Only Gu Mingli, a senior high school student, made an appointment with his classmates to go to the nearby library early in the morning to study hard and make progress every day.
As for which "classmate" it is, only Gu Mingli himself knows.
When they found that Gu Jiu had not gotten up yet, the Gu family was very worried. Old Mrs. Gu and aunt Wen Aiying took the key and quietly opened the door. They found that she was sleeping soundly and did not have the heart to wake her up.
After finally getting enough sleep, Gu Jiu stretched and got up.
It was late autumn now and the weather was a bit cold. She put on a thin knitted sweater jacket and groped her way downstairs.
The aroma of food was floating in the air. Gu Jiu took a deep breath of the air filled with the smell of food. He was in a good mood and smiled towards the living room: "Grandma, uncle, aunt, big brother, big sister-in-law, Xiao Qing'er, are you all here?"
"Here I am!"
"Aunt, I didn't go out to play today."
The Gu family members responded one after another.
This is a habit that the Gu family has developed in recent months. Whenever Gu Jiu appears, they will speak up to greet her and let her know that they are all there.
Gu Jiu walked over calmly and sat next to Old Lady Gu.
If you don't look into her eyes, seeing her movements so naturally and smoothly, it's almost hard to believe that her eyes are actually not seeing clearly.
Wen Aiying said worriedly, "Ajiu, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask Doctor Wang to come over?"
Dr. Wang is a family doctor serving the Gu family.
She only gave birth to two sons, and Gu Jiu was raised in the Gu family. She truly treated her niece as her own daughter. As long as she felt a little uncomfortable, she would become very nervous.
The others also looked over with concern. Ever since Gu Jiu's eyesight deteriorated, they had been treating her as if she were a fragile glass doll, handling her with great care.
"No, I'm just too tired, so I slept a little longer." Gu Jiu refused hastily, and before they could ask, he changed the subject, "Aunt, I'm hungry, can I have lunch?"
The women in the Gu family could not stand her soft and coquettish behavior, so they stopped asking questions and quickly asked the kitchen to start cooking.
But they were still confused and wondered why she was tired.
She had been staying at home these days, and the only exercise she had was walking with the old lady in the villa area. She hadn't done anything, so how could she be too tired? She still had to get checked to prevent any accidents from happening to her body.
After lunch, Dr. Wang was called over and took the opportunity to give the Gu family a simple physical examination.
Gu Jiu calmly underwent the examination, and the results showed that there was nothing wrong with her, and she was very healthy.
She said to her grandmother and others, "I'm very healthy, don't worry." She was just blind, and it had no effect on her health.
The Gu family also knew this, and during the physical examination, they secretly asked Dr. Wang about her eye condition. When they heard that there was still no improvement, they were a little disappointed.
In fact, they had some extravagant hope in their hearts, hoping that a miracle would happen to her eyes and they would suddenly recover for the better.
There are too many things in this world that science cannot explain, just like it is impossible to find out why her eyes are deteriorating.
However, there is no miracle. For now, they are enduring until she eventually goes blind.
After the physical examination, Gu Jiu saw that it was almost time and wanted to go back to his room.
She has an appointment with Lu Ji today. If she doesn't enter Wujie City now, time will be wasted. She would feel embarrassed to keep the girl waiting.
"Grandma, uncle, aunt, I'm going back to my room to rest."
Gu Yiqing wanted to play with her aunt, so she took her hand and said, "Aunt, can you play with me for a while? I'll sleep with you."
Gu Jiu was tempted, but still refused.
She was afraid that her nephew would wake up in the middle of the night and find that she was not in the room. If this alarmed his family, she would not be able to explain herself clearly.
According to the rules of the Zhutian Game, low-level players cannot easily reveal game matters to the real world. Even if they want to, they will be silenced by the rules. Unless they are high-level players who are strong enough to override the rules, they will have no concerns.
She also didn't want to worry her family. Even if her family was willing to understand and not ask any further questions, they would still be worried about what she was doing and whether her life was in danger.
Song Qinghe pulled the braid on her son's head and said softly, "You are a big boy now. How can you let your aunt sleep with you? You have to learn to sleep by yourself."
Gu Yiqing pouted and said aggrievedly, "I already sleep alone at night, why can't I sleep with my aunt during the day? If you don't let me sleep with my aunt, then I will sleep with my parents tonight."
"No." Gu Mingjie refused calmly, "You are a man, you can't sleep with your parents."
Gu Yiqing asked his father innocently, "Then is it okay for me not to be a boy?"
"No, you were born a boy, and your gender cannot be changed."
Gu Yiqing hung his head in frustration and sighed to his mother, "Mom, why did you give birth to me as a boy? If I were a girl, I could sleep with you."
Song Qinghe was speechless. Where did this unlucky child come from? Why was he so easily deceived
**
After returning to the room, Gu Jiu locked the door and drew the curtains before entering the Boundless City.
As soon as I entered Wujie City, I keenly noticed that the atmosphere of Wujie City today was a little different.
In the past, there were many people in the Boundless City, and the streets and alleys were filled with an atmosphere of freedom. Players moved freely in the Boundless City and got to know this Boundless City located in the void.
But at this moment, the city had a more solemn atmosphere, and although the players passing by tried their best to hide, they still revealed some clues.
Gu Jiu didn't know any players in Wujie City, and he didn't want to ask a passerby, so he walked towards the training ground in District 98.
When she arrived at the training room, she saw Lu Ji waiting in the training hall.
"Aji, have you been waiting for a long time?" She looked apologetic and explained why she only entered Wujie City in the afternoon.
Although Lu Ji didn't seem to care when she entered Wujie City, when he saw her waiting here, he wanted to explain to her. He didn't want her to think that he didn't value her.
Lu Ji listened to her explanation first, then said softly, "I didn't wait too long."
Gu Jiu said "oh" and looked at her with a smile.
The tips of Lu Ji's ears turned slightly red uncontrollably, and he changed the subject somewhat stiffly, "Are you still exercising today?"
"Of course we have to train." Gu Jiu walked towards the training room with her. Thinking of something, he asked, "Aji, the atmosphere in Wujie City is a little tense today. Do you know why?"
Lu Ji was a little confused, "I don't know, I didn't pay attention."
She really didn't notice it. She lived in her own world, rarely paying attention to irrelevant people and things, and had no interest in anything in the outside world. So far, the only person who could arouse her interest was a human girl named "Gu Jiu". She thought this human was very interesting. She was like a luminous body, blooming her own charm, which easily attracted the attention of the world and caused some ripples in her heart, which was as calm as stagnant water.
Because of her rare interest, she was willing to spend time interacting with Gu Jiu, wanting to see to what extent this person could influence her.
This is a long process, but for Lu Ji, the thing he has the most is time.
When the day comes that she feels that Gu Jiu can no longer attract her, it will not be too late to leave.
Seeing this, Gu Jiu knew about some of the character traits of this little friend and did not ask any more questions.
In the evening, Gu Jiu finished his exercise an hour early and decided to stroll around Wujie City.
Lu Ji didn't know what she was going to do. When she suggested going shopping, he silently followed her into a busy bar in Wujie City.
Lu Ji was completely dazed until he sat in the bar with loud music.
A waiter brought the prepared cocktails. In the psychedelic lights, the smell of wine, the crazy music, and the young men and women created an ambiguous and extreme atmosphere of enjoyment.
Gu Jiu drank his wine with a happy expression. He called a waiter and threw the tip card he had just exchanged over to him.
A tip card costs ten points.
"Please sit down." Gu Jiu slightly raised his delicate chin towards the male waiter, his expression relaxed.
The young and handsome waiter in uniform took the tip card, looked at Gu Jiu with a hint of seduction, and said softly, "I wonder if the guest has anything to ask?"
Gu Jiu reached out and lifted the waiter's chin, looking at his face.
Seeing this scene, Lu Ji's face suddenly stiffened, his dark eyes staring straight at the beautiful hand that was hooked around the waiter. He had an urge to pull it back and hold it tightly.
How could she... touch another man's chin
Gu Jiu was completely unaware of the drastic mood swings of his friend beside him. After looking at the male waiter, he asked, "Are you a player too?"
"Of course." The waiter smiled slightly. Although the smile was ambiguous, it was not frivolous. His voice was very warm. "All humans in this Boundless City are players. Only players can enter Boundless City."
"Can players also be waiters?"
The male waiter smiled slightly, and understood in his heart that this person was another newcomer who had just entered the Boundless City and was not clear about the situation in the Boundless City, so he asked such a cute question.
"Yes, it's not easy to earn points in the game, so I can only do some part-time jobs."
Gu Jiu asked some more questions and learned that a temporary bar waiter like him could only earn 800 points a month. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's better to enter the game world to earn more points."
It only takes a second to enter the game world, and when you come out you will get a certain amount of points, which is more than what you would earn in Unbounded City for a month.
In Gu Jiu's opinion, part-time job is not cost-effective, and she is not willing to spend all her rest time on part-time job in Wujie City.
The waiter thought to himself that everyone knew this, but the dangers in the gaming world were too great and death was commonplace.
Many players would rather earn points in the Boundless City than go to the game world. Most players will enter the game world only when the time comes, and will never go in during their rest time. Even if they do go in, they will find powerful players to help them pass the level.
For this reason, a set of relationship chains has been formed between the players of Unbounded City, the complexity of which is beyond the imagination of newcomers.
These male waiters felt that there was no need to explain to a newcomer like Gu Jiu. She would naturally understand once her game level improved.
After chatting for a while, Gu Jiu naturally turned the topic to Wujie City.
"The atmosphere in Wujie City is a little off today. Do you know why?"
The waiter didn't expect her to be so perceptive. He didn't want to answer at first, but when he saw the classical beauty who looked like a Jiangnan ink painting under the light, the words came out of his mouth.
"I heard that some big shot in the sporadic area is making some moves."
"Sporadic areas?" Gu Jiu was somewhat interested. Her system manager highly praised the sporadic areas.
The waiter hummed and lowered his voice, "Guest, you should know the specialness of the Scattered Area, right?" After she nodded, he continued, "Those who can live in the Scattered Area are people who can destroy a small world with a stomp of their feet. In the eyes of the players in the Zhutian game world, they have been promoted to demigods and have powerful demigod bodies. Every time they make a decision, Wujie City will always be affected. It will be fine after a while."
"I see." Gu Jiu's face was filled with enlightenment. "So what did they do this time?"
The waiter shook his head and laughed, "How can a small person like me know what the big people do? Although the big people in the scattered areas rarely show up, there are many forces under them. Whenever they want to do something, they will let the people below do it..."
