The next day, Xiao Zhi got up early.
Last night when Xiao Zhi asked 0724 about his dreams, 0724 seemed anxious about his master's financial situation. The smile on the screen disappeared when he wiped the floor, and the movement of waving tools to clean was not so cheerful, and he looked really sad.
The owner is so poor, but 0724 can't make money, 0724 can only clean...
The livelihood of the family is not settled, so sad.
In order to keep 0724 from worrying, Xiao Zhi posted the news of selling game coins on ZERO's forum after waking up.
According to the current ratio, 1 star coin can be exchanged for 10 gold shells, and the more than 100 million in his backpack can be converted to buy a house on a good livable planet.
But Xiao Zhi didn't intend to exchange all Jinbei into star coins.
After all, he spends most of his time in the game. The accommodation provided by Hailan Comprehensive University is very good, and they don’t need to move. If they are not particularly picky, the student cafeteria also has free meals. He doesn’t like to buy, buy, and buy. In reality No opportunity to spend money at all.
Moreover, it is very troublesome to sell a large amount of game coins in a short period of time, and rich players are not always available.
He only intends to sell 300,000 game coins first, so that his savings can reach the average interstellar level. On the one hand, it is to let 0724 not worry, and on the other hand, it is to prevent any emergencies that need to be spent.
It's not easy being a breadwinner.
After the news was released, some players contacted him soon. According to the trading rules, they will first put the money on the trading platform of the forum, and the star coins will enter Xiao Zhi's account after both parties confirm.
Everyone bought different amounts, Xiao Zhi made an appointment with them all in Chiba City. His offline location is in the village of wood spirits in Chiba country. In addition to being able to return directly to the place before entering, the village of wood spirits also has several teleportation arrays leading to major cities, which can be regarded as benefits for VIP residents.
He woke up in his house in the wood spirit town, where it was still as peaceful and peaceful as ever.
A scent wafted into the window. It seemed that the three neighbors were having a party again. Today their theme seemed to be hot pot. The three of them were preparing in full swing, and they could hear the movement from a distance away.
Xiao Zhi still remembered that the spices related to Chinese cuisine were very expensive on the Dazemen sub-continent, and Qianyewu also researched alternative crops for this situation. These three people can afford hot pot, which requires a lot of spices. It seems that they are all a group of rich people.
Seeing Xiao Zhi push open the door, Freedom Sword waved to him enthusiastically, inviting him to join in.
However, Xiao Zhi still had arrangements, he apologized to a few people and said that he had made an appointment to meet them later.
Seeing this, the three of them didn't want to stay, and they enthusiastically stuffed him with a scallion pancake with tiramisu: "Take it and eat it on the road. It's made with green onions researched by Qianyewu, and it tastes pretty good."
Xiao Zhi took the hot scallion pancake, took a generous bite, and praised: "It's delicious, Granny Su's cooking skills are really good!"
The Chiba Black brand scallions are also good, not much different from real scallions. This guy is really an agricultural talent.
After waving goodbye to several people, Xiao Zhi stepped on the teleportation array and left the land of wood spirits.
·
Arriving at Chiba City, Xiao Zhi rushed to the agreed place.
This is the central square of Chiba City. There are a lot of people coming and going, not only the wood spirits who are the aborigines, but also many players who come to do quests and buy things. You can even see the figures of the Xiyue tribe and orcs. , even the priests and knights of Blaise.
Because they are barely Hessian civil servants, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but look at the few Bresse people. They were all dressed in white and gold intertwined clothes. Nothing.
After a while, the agreed players gradually arrived, and Xiao Zhi started to trade with them, so he stopped paying attention to the few people over there.
After finishing the deal with the last person, Xiao Zhi let out a sigh of relief, now he can finally escape from the abject poverty class. He stood up, and it was rare to be interested today, and wandered around Chiba City.
Compared with six hundred years ago, this place has changed a lot, and there are many new things, but it has not changed much. Wang Shu is still the same as it was then, and Chiba City also has a leisurely retirement atmosphere as always.
Xiao Zhi was waiting in front of the booth for his snacks when he suddenly received a message from Einstein.
Hey hey hey: Junior brother, you are online! Very good! Come, come, help the world.
7654321: What's the matter
Hey hey hey: Our history department has an appointment with the mech department, how can such a crucial battle be without you, little brother
7654321: History department and mecha department? It's a bit far away from professionalism, can this be fought
Hey hey hey: old tradition.
7654321:
Hey hey hey: It's a long story, I'm tired of typing... You come to Britanda in Changyue Desert first, and I'll tell you face to face.
7654321: OK, I'll be right there.
After sending the message, Xiao Zhi walked towards the teleportation array with his Walomi ice cream.
·
When he arrived at Britanda, Xiao Zhi saw Einstein waiting for him not far away as soon as he left the teleportation formation. He was leaning against the wall, flexibly flipping a dagger with his fingertips, the tip of the knife danced around his fingertips, but it didn't hurt him at all. Next to him was Viddy who looked enviously.
Xiao Zhi stepped forward to greet them: "Senior brother."
The two also noticed Xiao Zhi, and Einstein said, "Little brother, are you here to eat melons? You actually brought your own snacks!"
Xiao Zhi continued to eat indifferently: "Anyway, it's not playing now, so tell me what's going on?"
Einstein said: "The old tradition between our two departments is that the freshman friendly match is about to begin. Every freshman has to go through such a wave, and the result of the battle directly determines the momentum of the two departments in the next year. Who will win?" Whoever wins will have an advantage in talking about it."
Xiao Zhi didn't quite understand: "Why would the history department match up with the mech department? It seems that our two departments are not on the same planet?"
Xiao Zhi remembered that the history department was located on planet 12, and the mecha department seemed to be on planet 2, so there was nothing to do with their daily study and life.
Einstein shrugged: "It starts from the year when the two chiefs entered school. Do you know the stories of the chiefs?"
Xiao Zhi shook his head and ate ice cream.
Einstein: "The head of our History Department is called Bai Yan, and the Mecha Department is called Tim Gard. Of course, you may be more familiar with their game IDs. Bai Yan is Luo Ye, and Tim Gard is Longinus."
When Xiao Zhi heard these two names, he was really familiar with them.
Whether it is a forum or the world, as long as there are these two people, there will never be peace. Xiao Zhi himself has seen the guilds on both sides face each other at the Xinghai Auction. It was really sparks flying and mocking each other. constantly.
Xiao Zhi couldn't help asking: "What is the hatred between the two of them?"
Einstein: "In the year of enrollment, Bai Yan and Tim Gard both applied for the strategic command major of the command department. It is said that the two of them competed against each other all the way during the exam. After all, they both went for the first place. And these two are indeed excellent, and the top two records of the highest score in the command system are left by them."
"In the end, the first place in the strategic command major was won by Bai Yan. Tim Gard was not convinced at the time, and said harshly that he would fight with him after entering school."
"But who knew that Bai Yan turned around and applied for the history department again, and finally entered the history and strategy major with the first place. I heard from the gossip that at that time, a military school secretly came to poach the corner of Haizong, wanting to let He changed schools, but was stopped by the high-level executives of Haizong."
"When Tim Gard heard the news, he was furious. He regarded Bai Yan as his old enemy, but Bai Yan slapped his ass and left, and gave him the first place he won with great difficulty. If he took it, wouldn't it be Is it embarrassing?"
"How could Tim Gard bear this breath? He turned around and applied for the Mecha Department, and then successfully entered the school with the first place. In this way, although the two are not in the same department, Liang Zi has already formed a relationship. And it continued into the game, Bai Yan established Shangshan Rushui, Tim Gard established God of War, and the two guilds continued to fight."
Xiao Zhi scooped a scoop of ice cream: "Why do I feel that the command department is the worst?"
Einstein: "That's right, people in the command department don't like our two departments."
Xiao Zhi thought to himself, it's no wonder it's pleasing to the eye, the first and second majors switched to other majors one after another, and set a new score record for them. Every time the two chiefs are mentioned, they have to be taken out and flogged. The command department is the one who really throws people to death.
The three of them chatted about the gossip of the chief and walked forward, and it was said that they were going to make an appointment.
Xiao Zhi was a little curious: "When we face off with the mecha department, who usually wins?"
Einstein: "About two-thirds of the time we win."
"Huh?" Xiao Zhi was a bit surprised by this. ZERO is a game that focuses on operation. It stands to reason that the mecha department, which is usually engaged in combat training, will have an advantage over the history department students.
Einstein looked at Xiao Zhi, and pointed to his head: "You know, tough men are generally not very good here, and they are at a disadvantage in terms of tactics."
Vidy: "Since ancient times, routines have always won the hearts of the people."
Xiao Zhi understood, this is the story of a group of black-bellied men who entrap straight steel men.
Einstein patted Xiao Zhi's shoulder solemnly: "Although our major is an unpopular direction, it is the main strength when bullying the mecha department. Junior brother, you are the freshman representative of our major. Come on."
Xiao Zhi: "... I'm the only one in this class of our major, can I not be the representative?"
·
The three finally arrived at the agreed place, a ruin of the arena in the desert.
This is one of ZERO's arena maps. After the dueling parties submit the decisive battle agreement, the battle will begin. The conditions and bets for victory are determined by the two parties themselves.
There are two groups of people standing in front of each other, the group on the left is dominated by swordsmen, who belong to the God of War Guild, and the group on the right is dominated by mages, who are good at Ruo Shui.
They stood up with a feeling of confrontation between two armies, and they were attacking each other with their eyes.
The one on the left is a tall and handsome boy with brilliant blond hair, wearing advanced swordsman equipment. He should be Tim Gard, game ID Longinus.
The person on the right is a black-haired boy wearing a dark blue mage's robe and a monocle. He has a smile on his face, but it gives off a black-bellied feeling that hides a knife in his smile. Looking at this posture, Xiao Zhi also knows it. The bit must be Baiyan, the game ID Ruoye.
The arrival of Xiao Zhi and the others naturally attracted the attention of both parties.
Bai Yan glanced this way and recognized Einstein and Wei Di. He nodded at them, and his smile seemed much more sincere: "You are here."
Einstein waved to Bai Yan familiarly, and then stretched out his hand to signal him to look at Xiao Zhi beside him: "I've been waiting for a long time, let me introduce to you, this is the freshman of our major this year—Xiao Zhi, ID is 7654321, and he is enrolled with full marks for professional practice. of."
As for the 0 points in the written test, Einstein selectively ignored it.
Bai Yan casually sent Xiao Zhi a friend request: "Hi, welcome to the Department of History. I heard that the practical exams for your major are very difficult. It seems that Junior Brother Xiao is very good."
Following Bai Yan's overtures, Xiao Zhi instantly received a large wave of friend requests, which made him busy for a short time.
The Department of History is full of joy and harmony, and naturally some people don't like it.
In the crowd of the mecha department, a boy with white eyes said strangely: "This is the ace major of your history department. I heard that the one last year couldn't fight at all. This year is even worse. No one applied for the exam before." , where did you find someone to act as a front?"
Bai Yan still smiled: "Your freshmen are very courageous."
Tim Gard frowned slightly: "Hmph, I will educate him well in the future."
Everyone's eyes fell on the talking boy.
The boy didn't hesitate, and continued: "Who doesn't know that there are only a few people in their broken major, and they don't know if they are bumpkins from marginal stars. They just took the exam because they want to take the government subsidy and play games in class. "
As soon as he said this, the crowd behind him burst into muffled laughter, which still gave him face, while the people from the history department on the opposite side didn't have so many scruples and just laughed out loud.
Even Tim Gard gave him a "shame on you" look: "Walter, stop talking..."
Walter looked around feeling a little confused.
This... what's the situation? He checked in the campus forum, this broken major is in such a bleak situation, could he be wrong
Einstein took the initiative to stand up and help him solve his doubts in a friendly manner. He pointed to his face and said, "Look at me."
Only then did Walter carefully examine this face. There are very few pure Asians in the interstellar era, so they are still very eye-catching. Although the person in front of him looks good, is there anything special about it? He's not gay, and he's not interested in men's faces.
Suddenly, he saw a sense of familiarity from this face, these eyes, this nose, these eyebrows... why do they all have a trace of familiarity? It seems that he often sees it, but he thinks carefully that there is no one who looks like him around him.
Someone from the history department helped answer: "Do you think the big boss of the Ai Group looks like him?"
Walter: "...!"
Fuck!
Aishi Group, the top ten consortiums in the whole interstellar. The business ranges from food to medicine, from retail to technology, and even the military industry. The face in front of me is indeed very similar to that Mr. Ai who often appears in the news, but younger and with a softer outline .
Einstein smiled: "My surname is Ai, my first name is Einstein, and I am the second child at home."
Walter: "…"
Ah... With this kind of background, I already have the capital to be willful, no wonder I dare to apply for this kind of pheasant major...
Xiao Zhi was also in shock, did Senior Brother Ai come from such a powerful background? Then why did he still go to the free dinner in the cafeteria with him? ! Is the happiness of the rich so simple
Walter took a deep breath, this target is too difficult to conquer, let's change the target, he pointed to Wei Di: "When this guy fights, he even hits his own people, he must be fooling around!"
Veddy: "…"
He is not, he does not, he practices seriously every day!
But many things in this world do not necessarily result from hard work...
Bai Yan's face turned to Wei Di with his cold smile, "I remember that Junior Brother Wei Di also passed the command department test, and he was the only one who got a perfect score in the written test of the command department."
Einstein asked: "How does it feel to take the written test of the conducting department?"
Wei Di said calmly: "It's okay, things like written tests are not difficult."
Walter: "…"
Can you let go of the command system, is it easy for the command system? ! One by one, they all give up on it!
Walter pointed at Xiao Zhi with trembling fingers.
This is a freshman who came out of nowhere this year. He doesn't go out very much, and there is no gossip about him anywhere.
But... After being slapped in the face twice in a row, and his face was almost swollen into a pig's head, Walter struggled for a while, and finally slowly put down his hand.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
In fact, he is a country bumpkin from a marginal star. He took this major in order to get government subsidies and wanted to play games in class. You are right, this classmate, don’t give up!
It's a pity that Walter has lost the courage to speak.
After a farce, Bai Yan and Tim Gard began to discuss the upcoming decisive battle.
In the end, they decided to start a 20vs20 battle, and each side selected 20 players from the freshmen to participate.
After the start of the battle, every once in a while, a totem belonging to both sides will be refreshed on the map, a total of three times. The location of the totem is random, but the system will remind you of the range on the map.
The conditions for victory are: 1. Destroy all the combatants of the opponent; 2. Destroy all the three totems of the opponent.
As long as any one of the two conditions is met.
When the fighting time exceeds one hour, sandstorms and falling rocks will appear on the battlefield, and the combat area will be continuously reduced. When entering the range of sandstorms and being hit by falling rocks, blood will be lost to prevent participants from passively competing.
After selecting the freshmen to participate, Bai Yan and Tim Gard submitted applications at the same time.
The application is approved and the battlefield opens.
The area of the viewing platform was also opened at the same time, and all the players except the freshmen moved there.
At the same time, the battlefield exclusive channel and audience channel are also opened. This is a channel that only belongs to this battle and is not open to the public, so players can speak freely.
·
Xiao Zhi entered the battlefield and was teleported to the red side belonging to the history department.
In order to distinguish the identities of the two parties, a red totem appeared on the shoulders of the people on their side, and blue totems on the opposite side. It can't be wiped off, and it's useless when you take off your clothes. It can only disappear with the end of the battlefield.
Everyone in the history department is new to the school, and they are not familiar with each other, nor do they understand each other's abilities, let alone cooperate.
They discussed for a while and decided to act as a small team, and each of them would find familiar people to go with them.
Xiao Zhi politely declined several people's requests to form a team with him, but he is still used to wandering alone.
On the other hand, the strategy chosen by the mecha department is similar, they are all freshmen who are a little familiar in private form a team, and then disperse their activities on the map. Try to kill the person on the opposite side before the totem is refreshed, and then gather together after the totem is refreshed.
Auditorium chat channel:
"What's the situation with 7654321 in the history department? Going alone, you dare to be alone on the battlefield, you're brave enough."
"Otherwise, how can you say it is an ace major?"
"Farewell. Last year, the ace died within a few minutes of the game, and took a teammate with him before he died. This year, it's so messed up. I don't think the history department is doing well this year."
"Don't talk nonsense, he has a perfect score in the practice test, and the game must be very good."
"Don't bluff people, their major is 21st century game research, do you know what 21st century games are called? At that time, most of them were old and antique games that were manually operated. You can play those kinds of games very well, and you may not be able to get into ZERO." .”
Xiao Zhi, who was on the battlefield, couldn't see the audience channel, so he picked a random direction and walked forward.
As he walked he studied the map.
This battlefield is said to be the remains of the arena, but the arena of the orcs is much larger than the ancient Roman arena he knows. The yellow sand is all over the sky, there are sand dunes and rocky mountains, and there are caves and ravines on the ground, not far away. Remains of buildings can also be seen everywhere, and the terrain is quite complicated.
Xiao Zhi observed the environment, trying to deduce from which direction the freshmen of the mecha department would come.
Having nothing to do, he also slapped the battlefield channel:
[7654321: Where are you guys from the mecha department?]
[Such a big one: Who will tell you!]
[7654321: I'm waiting for you here in the circular sand dune, come here, don't you dare?]
[Caesar: Fuck, is this kid so arrogant? !]
[One shot, one kid: go, go, get rid of this guy, let him be arrogant!]
After a while.
[One shot, one kid: @7654321, where are you?]
[Caesar: Don't hide, come out, aren't you cowardly?]
[7654321: I lied to you, but I’m not in the circular sand dunes.]
[One shot, one kid: ... Despicable.]
[Caesar: ... treacherous.]
[7654321: Don't worry, everyone knows where you two are now.]
[The Snake in the Atrium: Did you two idiots reveal your location? Don't run fast! Want to be mobbed?]
[One shot, one kid:...]
[Caesar:…]
Xiao Zhi looked at the battlefield channel and couldn't help but sigh, the mecha department is really a bunch of idiots, no wonder they are always bullied by the history department.
So cute.
Suddenly footsteps came from ahead, Xiao Zhi looked up through the long yellow sand, and found that he was still an acquaintance—Walter.
Xiao Zhi greeted him: "Hello, we meet again."
At the same time, a series of warm fireballs were sent over, which seemed very enthusiastic.
The auditorium exploded because of Xiao Zhi. It wasn't because of his warm greeting, nor because he tricked two mecha freshmen into revealing their positions, but—
Soul Chaser.
"Fuck the soul chaser!!!"
"Is he the one at the Xinghai auction that day?"
"3 million, I'll go, is this guy so rich?!!!"
The freshmen may not understand, and Einstein and Vedi, who have not joined the guilds of both sides, may not understand either.
But all the people present, no matter whether they are Shangshan Ruoshui or the members of God of War, as long as they have experienced the Xinghai auction, they will all be angry at the person who came from the VIP room, slapped God of War with three million gold shells, and snatched away the soul chaser with great fanfare. People still remember.
This person, now appeared in front of them.
Bai Yan turned his head to look at Tim Gard next to him, with a smile on his face, and his tone was sincere and friendly: "I heard you were still thinking about the Soul Chaser later? It's okay, if you want to watch it, I can talk to Junior Brother Xiao about it." Discuss, let him lend you a look."
Tim Gard's face turned black: "..."
Why are the guys in the history department so annoying!
