Lying under the tree, listening to the rustling of the leaves when the breeze blows through the forest, time seems to slow down like this.
When the sky was getting dark and the whole forest was shrouded in night, Frost let go of Xiao Zhi's tight hand. Sensing movement, Xiao Zhi asked in a low voice, "Does your head hurt anymore?"
Frost propped up his body, looked down at Xiao Zhi, shook his head slightly, and stretched out his hand to gently comb Xiao Zhi's messy temple hair.
Xiao Zhi let him move without saying a word.
For a moment, there was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the air.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhi felt the movement from the address book, and whenever the player received a private chat, he would feel the reminder from his mind.
Xiao Zhi took out the address book, it turned out that the message was from Einstein.
Hey hey hey: Junior brother, come to my dormitory quickly! ! ! Show you a big baby! !
7654321: Hey, the genius is just black, brother, your words are easy to make people shy.
Hey hey hey: ... Junior brother, do you actually have this style of painting
7654321: I am guarding a big treasure right now, what kind of big treasure is there on your side? Tell me, let me think about whether to go there or not.
Hey hey hey: I have an accidental discovery, about the original secret of the ZERO world, absolutely exclusive, now the teacher and Vidi are ready to come, if you don’t come, you will lose.
7654321: About ZERO
Hey hey hey: Yes, are you sure you don't want to come
7654321: I was wrong, right now.
Hey hey hey: Hey hey, I will send the location of the dormitory to your terminal later, today I will treat you to supper.
7654321: Thank you brother, happy~
Xiao Zhi closed the address book with a smile on his face, and then met Frost's gloomy gaze. The moonlight is good tonight, reflecting Frost's eyes like a hunter in the jungle, with a light cold light .
Xiao Zhi's smile was a little stiff.
Ah, chatting too vigorously with my brother, I forgot about Frost. After a while, Xiao Zhi will go offline, leave Frost and his brothers to eat supper happily, thinking about it, why does he suddenly have a strong sense of guilt
Frost's tone sounded calm: "Did something happen?"
Xiao Zhi bit the bullet and said, "I...may have to sleep for a while later."
There was a doubtful light in Frost's eyes.
Xiao Zhi: "You also know that when we Athanasi sleep, our souls will save the world in our dreams."
Frost: "..."
Why are these words so familiar
Xiao Zhi has already proficiently started talking nonsense: "Just now I received a revelation that a catastrophe is about to occur in another world, and I need a chosen person like me to save the world."
It's been a long time since he talked to Asen, Xiao Zhi realized that his skill was not unfamiliar, it was still so fluent, he came to it casually, and seemed to be influenced by Li Daye a little, the plot became more and more mediocre.
Hearing this familiar nonsense, a little smile appeared on the corner of Frost's mouth. This is Xiaoqi, and it hasn't changed at all.
He stretched out his hand to Xiao Zhi with a smile, and Xiao Zhi also passed it over. Just when he thought Frost would pull him up, Frost pulled him closer Leaving himself, the other free hand stretched across Xiao Zhi's back, hugging him in his arms.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
this…
The smile on Frost's face did not change, maintaining this posture, he lowered his head towards Xiao Zhi until their foreheads touched, and Xiao Zhi could no longer see anything except Frost's chin and drooping silver hair. At other times, he heard Frost's voice: "Okay, you go to sleep, I will take you back to the Hall of Bones."
"Boom... Boom..."
Accompanied by this, there was the sound of a heartbeat that gradually became faster, as if someone was dancing to cheerful drumbeats.
At this moment, Xiao Zhi is the only one who can have a heartbeat among the two.
Xiao Zhi felt his voice was weak: "Then... good night..."
"Good night," Frost replied.
After the person in his arms was breathing evenly, and his eyes were closed tightly, Frost raised his head and stared at the sleeping face of the person in his arms: "Athanasi..."
·
Xiao Zhi calmed down his heartbeat, and then left the game cabin.
"Hello, master." 0724 took the initiative to greet Xiao Zhi while cleaning.
"Hello." Xiao Zhi also responded, as if greeting a friend.
"Does the master have any plans for today?" 0724 asked.
Xiao Zhi said while changing his clothes, "I'm going out for a while, I don't have any special arrangements."
0724: "Do you need to rent a scooter for you?"
Xiao Zhi thought that everyone is in a dormitory, and probably not too far apart, just two steps away, so he said, "No, it's very close."
After greeting 0724, Xiao Zhi walked towards the dormitory that Einstein sent.
But the more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did he walk out of the dormitory? And also left the teaching building area of the history department and headed further afield
Where is this going
Only then did he look at the distance displayed on the navigation—565km away from the destination.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Oh, is this the dormitory for the rich
It is a little bit beyond the imagination of traditional earthlings.
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but open the big map and look at it. Fortunately, Brother Ai's dormitory is still on the same land as his, and there is no need to cross the sea.
In the end, Xiao Zhi had no choice but to rent a scooter at the school, and continued towards Einstein's dormitory. Fortunately, human beings have entered the interstellar era, and the speed of transportation is no longer at the slow level of the earth. In fact, the 565 kilometers can be reached in less than 20 minutes.
What appeared in front of me was a super, luxurious, huge manor, which monopolized the entire lake and mountains, and there were no other neighbors to disturb it, showing the low-key and simple happiness of the rich.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
No, can this be called a dormitory? !
Xiao Zhi followed the instructions and parked the scooter. At this time, a man with blond hair and wearing a traditional tuxedo came to him. The man saluted Xiao Zhi respectfully: "Welcome, Mr. Xiao Zhi, I It is the master's AI butler Sarrian, it is an honor to serve you."
Xiao Zhi followed Sarrian, changed to the scooter inside the manor and headed towards the most luxurious building.
Along the way, Sarian and Xiao Zhi talked and laughed freely, without any bluntness at all, just like a real human being, completely different from 0724 in Xiao Zhi's dormitory.
Finally, Xiao Zhi came to the hall of the mansion.
As soon as Sarian opened the door, Xiao Zhi heard the voice from inside.
"Hahaha, I still won, and I said that the younger brother is so smart that he can definitely find my dormitory!"
"Why… "
"You are the only one who will get lost in the interstellar era."
"Come, come, this cup of super spicy happy water is yours."
Xiao Zhi saw the familiar gambling scene of Shimen again. Every time Einstein bet with Wei Di, it seemed that Wei Di lost. Obviously he should be the one with the highest IQ in Shimen, but every bet must lose, never No exceptions.
Wei Di drank the blackish-red liquid in the cup with a look of hopelessness, then Xiao Zhi saw that his expression changed several times, and finally jumped up like a fire on his buttocks, and ran to the small room next to him, He seemed more energetic than usual.
After delivering Xiao Zhi, Sarian took his leave and left.
Li Daye and Einstein were both sitting on the luxurious sofa, Xiao Zhi walked over to greet them, and then sat down. The sofa is very soft, but still willful. The surface material has a low-key luster and texture, and it smells like money.
Xiao Zhi paralyzed on the soft sofa: "Senior Brother Ai, your dormitory is far different from that of our ordinary people. I thought I could walk there, but when I looked at the distance..."
Einstein scratched his head embarrassingly: "I originally thought that living in a student dormitory would be more or less the same, but my dad specially arranged one for me when he donated money to repair the dormitory. "
Li Daye looked at Xiao Zhi, and explained to him: "Our professional game equipment is also donated by his family, including the latest ZERO game cabin."
Xiao Zhi suddenly realized, no wonder the painting style of this professional is so unique, it turns out that there are big patrons.
Xiao Zhi looked at Einstein as if he was looking at a alive and kicking God of Wealth, this is the real light of the teacher! The golden light of local tyrants!
After chatting for a while, Vidy also came back. Although he looked a little sluggish, the degree of sluggishness was not much different from usual.
Xiao Zhi looked at Einstein: "So, what kind of big treasure is it, doing it so mysteriously?"
Einstein greeted everyone to a hidden small room. The temperature and humidity in the room were specially set to store fragile items.
He mysteriously took out a white box, put the box on the table and said, "I bought a manuscript of Gu Shenxue at the Nibile auction."
The Nibile Auction, the highest-level auction in the three galaxies, is none other than a place where the rich and famous in the entire interstellar show their identities and status, and ordinary people don't even think about it.
Einstein said: "Gu Shenxue, that is, the boss Shenxue in the game, is a person who still has the habit of hand-painting in the information age. You will be surprised by the content here."
With that said, he opened the white box.
The eyes of the other three people all looked inward. There were many hand-painted drafts in the box. It can be seen that the painters were very skilled. The hand movements are very steady.
Einstein put on the gloves and spread out the papers on the table one by one.
Following his movements, Xiao Zhi saw more and more familiar scenes, scenes he had seen in the world of ZERO.
Wei Di pointed to one of them: "This is King Chiba!!"
On the screen is the King Qianye that Xiao Zhi had seen before. He has always been on the throne since the operation of ZERO, and has never been replaced, and the current situation has not changed much. Although it is only a draft, it still does not affect the beauty of this great beauty.
Li Daye noticed the handwriting on the manuscript: "It turns out that his name is Qianye Sanyijiu... Who chose this name, why is it so casual?"
Later, some familiar scene concept drafts appeared, such as the lush Chiba king tree, the vast desert, and the continuous black forest...they are all what ZERO looked like when it first opened the server.
Xiao Zhi looked at these: "It turns out that Shen Xue once participated in the development of ZERO, but no news has been released."
Einstein said: "I was a little curious, so I asked someone to investigate Gu Shenxue's affairs, and found something even more surprising—Gu Shenxue should be Noah Pei's wife."
The other three looked at him in surprise.
Einstein used the terminal to project a piece of information: "They got married a long time ago, when both of them were very young. At that time, Noah Pei was already famous, but Gu Shenxue was still unknown. The relationship has never been made public, even when both parties are famous later."
"But their relationship should be very good. They have never been separated in their lives. Every year, the two of them will have a record of vacationing together many times."
Einstein turned to another source: "About ten years after the two got married, Gu Shenxue had a car accident, which left her paralyzed and lost her unborn child and fertility. After that, Noah Pei Cai started to make achievements in the medical field, and after many years, he managed to get Gu Shenxue to stand up again."
"It was also from this year that Noah Pei had the idea of creating a game world. It is not clear whether his motivation for creating the game is related to Gu Shenxue, but the timing is almost the same."
Wei Di suddenly said: "I think it may be related. Look at these people, do their eyes look like Noah Pei's when he was young, and their noses are almost exactly the same as Gu Shenxue's."
He pointed to the photo in the file, and then pointed to a certain manuscript on the table.
Xiao Zhi looked over Wei Di's fingers, and found a manuscript full of portraits in a corner. The characters in the manuscript are different in height, short, fat and thin. They have the appearance of childhood, teenagers and youths, but what they have in common is that they all have almost exactly the same face, a face that combines the features of Gu Shenxue and Noah Pei.
And this face...
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but hold his breath—like Frost!
In particular, those pictures of young people look more and more similar, although they are just line drawings, and Frost's signature silver hair and platinum-gold eyes cannot be seen.
In the past, Noah Pei was an old man in his impression, and Gu Shenxue was only famous when he was in middle age. Xiao Zhi never paid attention to the appearance of the two when they were young, and he did not expect that the combination would be so similar to Frost.
Could it be... Frost is the child co-created by Noah Pei and Gu Shenxue? After discovering that they may never have another child of their own.
Even created a world for this child.
Xiao Zhi remembered that Frost told him a little bit about Noah Pei's surviving memories, and Noah Pei himself said that he was Frost's father. Originally, Xiao Zhi thought that "father" refers to the creator. It occurred to me that there was a deeper meaning in it.
Xiao Zhi suddenly thought about Noah Pei's treasure.
Could it be... Noah Pei's treasure refers to Frost
In other words, as Noah Pei's child, if there is a treasure, he is the one most likely to know.
Is this why Andre arrested Frost
"Junior Brother Xiao, what are you thinking?" Wei Di's voice suddenly sounded, pulling Xiao Zhi out of his thoughts.
"Huh?!" Xiao Zhi hurriedly came back to his senses, but he couldn't say anything, he just said: "... I was just thinking, I don't seem to have seen this person in the game."
The brothers and the teacher didn't know Frost's appearance, so naturally they couldn't match his identity with the person in the manuscript, but it was about Frost's safety, Xiao Zhi didn't know whether he should tell the brothers what he found .
Although he didn't know how Andre knew Frost's identity, just thinking about what he did to Frost, Xiao Zhi dared not tell about Frost easily.
In case more people find out... how will they treat Asen...
Li Daye also rubbed his stubble and thought: "It seems that I have never seen this person before. Could it be the npc from before, or they didn't make it in the end?"
Einstein shrugged: "It's also possible, these are just the first drafts, and some scenes in the manuscript did not appear in the game in the end."
Veddy nodded: "In the game development process, waste drafts are also very normal."
After that, several people left the room and went outside to eat the supper prepared by Sarian.
As expected, Einstein came from an interstellar super-rich family, and the supper was unimaginably gorgeous.
Barbecue and braised meat, which have been popular since the Earth era, are just basic configurations. There are also many novel foods that are exclusive to the Interstellar era, as well as some special delicacies from remote planets.
·
When the pleasant supper time was about to end, Wei Di's terminal suddenly rang, followed by Li Daye and Einstein, while Xiao Zhi was quiet, and he looked at the three of them for no reason.
After a while.
After reading the news in the terminal, Li Daye raised his eyebrows slightly: "Noah Pei Ke is really amazing..."
Veddy said excitedly: "As expected of Noah Pei!"
Xiao Zhi was confused: "What?"
Einstein answered his doubts for him: "Junior Brother Xiao, you didn't order a special push for ZERO-related news, did you?"
Xiao Zhi shook his head: "No."
He is an old antique from the earth age who is addicted to games, and he really doesn't know that the terminal of the interstellar age has the function of customizing news.
Einstein simply turned on the projection screen in the hall, and the latest news was playing on it:
"A brand new habitable galaxy was recently discovered by the pioneering fleet. According to the test, the area of this new galaxy will not be smaller than the Milky Way. The area where the galaxy is located perfectly conforms to the inference made by Mr. Noah Pei 602 years ago. In order to commemorate this An immortal genius, the new galaxy will be named the Noah system, and it may become the fourth largest galaxy inhabited by humans in the future."
Li Daye flipped through his terminal: "Because of Noah Pei's relationship, the number of online users of ZERO will definitely usher in another round of surge recently. Even people who are not interested in games will be curious about Noah Pei's games." .”
Wei Di also looked at the terminal: "There are more people discussing Noah's treasure, and some people guess whether it contains the secret of another galaxy..."
Xiao Zhi watched the news and couldn't help but secretly clenched his palms.
