It was destined to be turbulent outside Sunset City. On a day when most of the players were crowded in Jackdaw Wasteland to play activities, the monster spawning point that should have been peaceful was instead hit by a bloodbath.
The fixed team of the Temple of the Gods guild was originally taking the newly joined trumpets to the wild to earn points and level up. They occupied multiple locations in the wild to spawn monsters under the name of a large guild. However, within a few minutes, the team of 8 people were buried.
That’s right, they were buried, and the other side only had two people, without milk.
The trumpets brought by the Temple of the Gods were 8 people in a group, four trumpets and four big ones. As a result, the trumpets were stunned when they were controlled and did not fight back at all. The big ones were also controlled by the summoner and the formation master. This familiar operation and fighting style, even if the opponent hid his ID, the manager recognized the person at the first time.
"Damn! It's because of Xingzhi Wuji. Let's go. Don't fight with them."
The new member of the gang was very confused: "Ah? There are only two of them, why don't they fight?"
"Then let's not waste time, the ranking number of array masters, the summoner Wu Qushan Overlord, fight a fart."
However, they were not given a chance to escape. The formation master and the summoner were both control professionals, especially the formation master was blocking in front and the summoner was controlling in the back. They could not escape. The group of 8 people struggled, but failed. In the end, they lay dead on the ground and watched the two people walk away.
The nightmare was not over yet, besides them, other gang members were also blocked.
At around 10pm, among the numerous new activity discussion threads on the forum, there was a live broadcast thread in the wild. The poster took advantage of the lack of people to kill monsters in the wild to complete the task, and ended up witnessing a two-person team in the wild. The opponent only had a formation master and a summoner, but they wiped out several five-person teams in succession. What's more, these teams were all members of the Ascension Alliance.
As soon as this post was posted, many people came to post comments.
Hahaha, I happened to be in this branch server, and I thought they killed the team next door and were coming to kill us, but they just left after killing them.
I happened to be there too, and I would like to thank these two underworld bosses for doing justice for the people.
Thanks to the two kind brothers, we finally sent the group of people who went to the sky away. It was outrageous that they occupied three spots with just one team.
Wait... Summoner + Array Master, from the Netherworld, only kills the Ascension Alliance... Could it be those two
The players on the forum had sharp eyes and soon discovered that these two people were not just strangers, but the two big brothers who had just finished the battle in half an hour and set the fastest record for clearing the first level of the new event. When someone posted a message, others would watch it. Soon, there were many pictures and short videos in the post, all of which were live broadcasts of the two people's situation in the wild.
At first the players couldn't find it, but later they found that as long as they kept an eye on the team that climbed up, the bosses would come to harvest them sooner or later. This wild harvest lasted for more than an hour. The two bosses were very sharp and picked small teams of less than 10 people. Once they were surrounded by a large group, they would never fight.
After this wave, it turned out that the players in this branch server benefited as the points occupied by the Ascension Alliance were suddenly vacant, causing their monster spawning speed to increase sharply.
Huoshuyinhua also saw this post, and excitedly sent it to the private group and added "行止无拘". The group was full of acquaintances and friends, and everyone was familiar with "行止无拘" as the pseudonym of Guizhen Fanpu, so they naturally reacted immediately after seeing this post.
Fire Tree and Silver Flower: "This... is it my illusion? It seems that Brother Zhen didn't have much output?"
Bitter Melon: "What did you do again?"
Apple: "It's not your illusion, he was just blocking people, not touching them."
Wu Liao added: "He didn't fight against the many hard controls of the formation master, but only used soft controls. Don't you see that the main control and output are on him?"
Yi Niu Er Wan: "Based on what I know about him, he did it on purpose."
Many people were still active at night. Ta Yunzhong and others finished the battle early. He was a little surprised to see the post and asked in the group: "Are you playing as a support?"
The message was not replied until after ten o'clock in the evening.
I had just come out of my daily dungeon when I saw a message in my friend list saying I was offline. Then a message popped up in my group chat:
Guizhen Fanpu: I have no entanglement with them, I am just accompanying them to test my skills.

Su Mo logged off early. After taking the medicine and cooperating with Lele to collect his physical data, he lay down on the bed in the dormitory to rest. Perhaps because he was too excited in the game, he did not feel sleepy and talked to Lele about the game from time to time.
"Su Mo, do your eyes hurt today?" Lele asked.
Su Mo: "It's okay today, it doesn't hurt that much."
Lele wrote down the key points and turned to get the eye patch from the cabinet. Su Mo's physique was poor. Others could stay in the laboratory for three days and three nights without sleep, but he would feel uncomfortable in the eyes after concentrating on working for half a day. This problem has always existed, so Lele has a record in his memo. Whenever Su Mo stays in the laboratory, he must remind him to pay attention to eye health.
There was no sign of improvement in their physical condition, so all they could do was to be careful in their daily lives. If the doctor had not agreed to let Su Mo play holographic games, Lele would have stopped him when he first went to the hospital. But he gradually discovered that after playing games, his master became more talkative and cheerful, and he would not stay in the laboratory all day.
It put an eye patch on Su Mo and said, "Su Mo, you can go to sleep now. You will have the first class at 8:30 tomorrow morning. It's Professor Edward's class. You need to get enough rest."
"We'll have braised pork with rice for lunch tomorrow." Lele tidied up Sumo's blanket. "This is a new menu. I compiled it based on the recipe sent by Mr. Yu Zhen. It's also a food supplement. The meat is vegetarian, so you can eat it without worry! We'll go home in the evening. We can rest for three days this weekend. Monday's class has been moved to a later date."
Su Mo reminded: "I want two copies, and bring one to my senior brother."
Lele pulled the quilt and prepared to turn off the light, when suddenly Sumo's light brain flashed, and its intelligent brain immediately read the owner's message, "Sumo, there is a message from Mr. Yu Zhen."
When Su Mo heard Yu Zhen, the figure of the formation master instantly emerged in his mind. He asked, "What did you say?"
Lele immediately reported: "Mr. Yu Zhen said 'good night'."
"Help me reply to him." Su Mo was wrapped in a blanket, and the eye patch gave him a suitable temperature. He seemed to feel sleepy instantly. "Say good night, see you tomorrow."
The first class at Capital University started at 8:30. When Su Mo entered the classroom, he found that it was a rare occasion that all the students were present in the classroom today. In the past, many students in the classroom chose to take classes remotely with the projector turned on. This was the first full class since the start of the school year.
Several students in the class were lying on the table with tired looks on their faces, and it was obvious that they were in low spirits.
The average physical fitness of Star Alliance citizens is C-level, and the physical fitness of Capital University students is A-level or above. This kind of fatigue is very rare, even more exaggerated than the previous final exam points. Not long after he sat down, two people squeezed in and sat next to him.
"Sumo, if Professor Edward calls on you later, please let me know the answer. I'll treat you to some juice later."
"Me too, me too. I just got here after studying for a while and haven't reviewed the textbooks at all."
"If I hadn't heard that we had invited a big guy to give a lecture today, I would have turned on the projector a long time ago. Edward, that old man, is the most annoying when he calls my name."
Su Mo learned from their chat that Professor Edward's friend should come to give a lecture today. He rarely reads group chats and occasionally misses messages from the class. Professor Edward is good at making friends. He is also an external professor at the Capital Star Research Institute. He knows many bigwigs in the circle. Many lectures in the Mechanical Forging Department are hosted by him and the department leaders.
The monitor came over with a book in his arms and sat next to Su Mo. "How dare you two say that? The reliable group you told me about yesterday is not reliable at all. I am almost being tricked by you."
"Today's class should be about the intelligent formula of deep learning. The specific content is on pages 324-356 of the textbook. But Professor Edward likes to talk about hot topics, so he should mention the recent incident of the Cangqiong Group's intelligent machine library." Su Mo paused for a while after speaking, "You guys stayed up all night?"
"You don't know, Xueba, the three of us teamed up to play games all night, but we still hadn't finished the game by morning. It's all because the squad leader found unreliable teammates, and we were matched with two teams of scumbags."
Su Mo felt that this sounded familiar, "Tian Huan?"
"Yes, Sumo, you know it too. It launched a scam event with random matches, which screwed us to death." Another classmate said to the monitor, "Let's go back and play at noon. I just saw an assignment on the Starnet forum. It's the first group we followed yesterday, the one we followed in Stepping on the Clouds. There's a screen recording on the forum, and you can slide over the cliff."
Su Mo: “?”
"You can still play like this?" The squad leader was shocked, "We don't have that rope."
The classmate said, "Let's make one. Although it's not as useful as the flying rope in the guide, any rope that can bear weight will do, right?"
Several people discussed it across Su Mo, and after a while they realized something was wrong. The squad leader explained, "In our game, there is a particularly difficult level. The cliffs are about three or four meters apart, and the entire group needs to pass through. We were just talking about this."
"… It's okay, you guys chat." Su Mo paused for a moment, "But if you cross the cliff, according to the general game settings, there will be environmental factors, maybe you can observe the surroundings."
For example, cut down the trees against the mountain. There will always be one that is three meters high.
Soon, the bell for class rang.
Professor Edward came in from outside in high spirits, greeted the students in the classroom, and immediately got to the point. He did invite a friend in the industry to talk about "Intelligent Deep Learning and Market Application". This subject focuses on theory, but it is also connected with the current market. Understanding the needs and conducting research is also one of their main courses.
"My friend is young. He happened to be in school today for some work. He came to give you a lecture when he had time." Edward laid the groundwork for the first half of the lecture. "You should have heard of the Cangqiong Group. Today we invited Mr. Yu Zhen from the Cangqiong Group. He has been in charge of many projects in the industry. The most popular project recently is the Tianhuan Game Virtual Holographic Loader."
When the students in the class heard about Tianhuan’s project, they immediately perked up.
Su Mo turned his head and saw Yu Zhen, dressed in a suit and tie, walking in from the door. He did not bring any extra teaching aids and only had a teaching blackboard in his hand. After greeting Professor Edward, he immediately got down to business.
The man in a suit was different from his usual home clothes. He exuded a more serious and upright aura, and his every move had the power to suppress the whole audience. The classroom soon became quiet, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the topic he brought up.
It was the first time that Su Mo had seen Yu Zhen like this. Unlike the taciturn array master in the game, the real Yu Zhen had an innate aura at a young age. He spoke naturally and fluently, and his way of speaking was very similar to that in the game, with concise language that went straight to the point. Coupled with his outstanding appearance and aura, people's eyes would always be drawn to him.
During this time, their eyes met, and Yu Zhen just nodded slightly and continued speaking.
During the entire class, although Su Mo was already familiar with the knowledge points, he still couldn't help but follow Yu Zhen's train of thought to finish the class.
Yu Zhen only taught half of the class, and Professor Edward continued with the second half.
Once the person was replaced, the atmosphere in the classroom changed. Su Mo listened to the students around him whispering about Yu Zhen, from the development of the Tianhuan Loader project to its current popularity throughout the Star Alliance. Even behind the scenes, students who knew about the loader and Tianhuan games had heard of his name, and many students even planned to submit their resumes to join his project during the summer vacation, but unfortunately he never recruited outsiders.
"Su Mo, I heard that you rejected the invitation from the First Research Institute before?" The squad leader asked in a low voice: "Boss Yu's original project was in line with the First Research Institute. If you had gone, you might have joined his project team directly after graduation. What a good opportunity! What a pity."
"It's okay, I'm not suitable."
Su Mo looked outside the classroom. Yu Zhen was no longer there, but he had an indescribable feeling. At this moment, his light brain suddenly vibrated, and inside was a new message from Yu Zhen - [Would you like to have lunch together?]
He paused for a moment and replied:
[good.]
The reply came quickly—
[Then I'll wait for you in Area A of the office building.]
-*
Su Mo only had one class in the morning. After class, he did not go to the physical examination site with his classmates, but went to the laboratory instead. Office Building A was located next to his laboratory building, very close, and it could be said to be on the way.
After arriving at the laboratory, I started working on intensive data calculations with Senior Brother Zhou.
At around ten o'clock, the data came to an end.
"I'm so tired." Brother Zhou came out of the laboratory, grabbed the calculation paper and began to look at today's work. "Fuck, have you finished all the calculations?"
Su Mo nodded: "I have something to do tonight, so the workload is light. I'll calculate it for you first. The other file is mid-range data, which is about two days' worth. I'll go home on the weekend and won't stay here."
"I can hardly keep up with you." Senior Brother Zhou sat down dejectedly. "It's better to have less today. I need to take a break and go to my brother's shop later to repair his machine. I was exhausted last night."
Su Mo looked at him: "Aren't you here to look after the store? Why are you so tired?"
"He's my cousin. I only sat there for half an hour before he said he was done with his work and asked me to help him calculate materials." Senior Brother Zhou couldn't help but complain, "I'm a top student at Capital University and a future star in mechanical forging, but he actually asked me to help him calculate materials. The most important thing is that my smartphone is broken, so I have to calculate manually."
Su Mo said: "Didn't you report it?"
"No, my brother is stingy. He said that I was learning mechanical forging, and he was willing to let me try the smartphone in his store." Brother Zhou said, "But I have to fix it for him. The smartphone in his store has broken down for at least six times. The repair shop he found is probably not very good. I'll take a look at it for him in the evening. It will save trouble if I can be fixed, so he doesn't have to ask me to do labor every time. I'll have to charge him next time. Brothers should be clear about accounts."
Su Mo asked: "Which generation of smartphone is it?"
Senior Brother Zhou was stunned for a moment: "L-250, I took a look yesterday."
Su Mo thought for a moment and said, "It's possible that the machine parts are aging and need to be replaced. There are relatively few first-generation parts for the l-250 on the market, but your brother's store should have them. If you don't count the parts, the labor replacement and measurement fees, according to the market repair price, you can ask him to charge 3,000 star coins."
He paused for a moment, "Of course, you can give him a discount, and you won't lose out if he charges you 2,500."
Senior Brother Zhou was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then laughed and said, "Good fellow, you are really good, Su Mo."
"I understand a little bit." Su Mo lowered his head slightly, and suddenly saw a message from Lele, saying that lunch would arrive in 20 minutes. He then remembered that he asked Lele to cook for him yesterday.
He changed the topic and said, "Brother, I'm going out for lunch at noon. I ordered takeout for you. Don't wait for me. If there is any problem with the data, call me."
-*
Yu Zhen came to Capital University because there was a project in the school that was looking for off-campus cooperation. He decided to come to the school to investigate the project on a whim, and the plan to go to Edward's class was made last night because he knew Su Mo was Edward's student.
It was almost time for the get out of class to end, but the office building was still very quiet.
After Yu Zhen said goodbye to Director Liu, he went to the agreed location. From where he was, he could see the laboratory building area. When he came to Capital University, he usually ate in the cafeteria with Zhang Qi, and occasionally went out to eat with people from the school, but these were not suitable for Su Mo.
Finally, he searched for a long time on the ordering app before finding a suitable restaurant.
"Brother Zhen."
Yu Zhen looked up and saw the boy walking up to him wearing a single-room backpack. "Is the experiment over?"
"Not busy for now." Su Mo said, "I'll leave early, otherwise there will be too many people after class."
"Then let's..." Yu Zhen nodded, and suddenly saw the food box in Su Mo's hand.
Su Mo took the lunch box and smiled, "Come to my dormitory. Today is the physical examination day, and the restaurants around the school will probably be full. I just ordered the ingredients. I'll treat you to a small stove. Lele is especially good at making this."
The single dormitory is neither big nor small.
The two of them and a robot had lunch in the small dormitory. This was also the first time Yu Zhen came to Su Mo's dormitory. They ate at a small stove, and the staple food was braised meat with rice. Considering the difference in diet, the small stove was divided into two sides.
"Do you have classes in the afternoon?" Yu Zhen asked.
Su Mo said: "No, these few days are physical examination days, and most of the courses in the school have been adjusted."
"I'm here today to inspect the project, and I'll probably stay until the afternoon." Yu Zhen said, "Tomorrow is Saturday, you haven't booked the hovercraft yet, right?"
Su Mo paused: "Not yet."
Yu Zhen picked up some meat for him and said, "Let's go back together tonight."

At around 7pm, the second level of the in-game event dungeon had already started. The team members had logged in early, sitting in the Jackdaw Wasteland waiting for people, and were also looking through online guides to see if there was any news from the team.
Ta Yunzhong said: "Kugua will be on duty in 10 minutes from now. The only thing left is to follow Xingzhijue. What did they say? Did they say what time they would be on duty?"
"Strange, Brother Xing is so late today too." Hong Guoguo was browsing the group chat, but didn't see Xing Zhi Wu Ji posting a message in the group. However, he said he would be online at 8 o'clock an hour ago. "My eldest brother said he would be online at 8 o'clock, but there is no news from Brother Xing."
Qingfeng said, "No way? Brother Xing usually comes online very early, and he didn't say he would be late today."
Liang Liang's little darling: "Can you contact him? Is there a contact number? Give him a call."
Ta Yunzhong: "Wait a little longer, he is not the kind of person who would be late, maybe he was delayed by something."
Xigua was silent for a while, "Then I'll go to the warehouse to get a few more knives and repair my equipment."
"Did they go out to kill someone last night? I looked at the forum today and saw several posts about them." The Taoist priest said, "If you have a group, talk to them. Have some snacks online. It seems that Dengtian said they are going to block him today."
Hong Guoguo: "I also read the forum today. It's too outrageous. Didn't Qingfeng do a live broadcast yesterday? The fanfiction I follow updated more than a dozen chapters overnight, including secret marriages and outdoor fights."
Qingfeng: “It’s so real.”
Liangliang: "So it's really not a secret marriage?"
Apple: "According to the plot of the fan fiction, after the secret marriage, they just play games online together every day."
As soon as he finished speaking, two messages popped up in his friend list:
Your friend is online.
Your friend [Freedom of Action] is online.
The author has something to say: There is a second update!
It's probably late, don't wait!
