"Our city s is a well-connected city, and it is very tolerant." Ke Xun, as a guide, led everyone off the high-speed rail. After passing by a sesame cake stall, one person bought a square sesame cake for him. One of the characteristics of the city.”
Qin Ci and Zhu Haowen were not seen either, each took a bite of the biscuits in their hands, expressing that they were chewy.
Weidong tasted the taste of his hometown, and he had a feeling of being reborn again: "I just thought, when I get developed, I will make a film of "Shaobing on the Tip of the Tongue", and shoot all the sesame cakes in the country, what kind of crab shell yellow? Ah, what baked naan, what chess pieces, and the only one in our city's Crock Pot biscuits!"
"Young man, your ambitions are lofty!" An old man sitting next to a sesame cake stand eating sesame cakes praised.
"Uncle, you are blessed with good teeth!" Wei Dong also replied, and said to everyone, "This is the way of communication in our city s. In the eyes of the elderly, we are all promising young people~"
Qin Ci answered the phone and explained to everyone: "The organizer of the medical exchange meeting has arranged a hotel. If Hao Wen'er is inconvenient, you can stay at the hotel with me."
Zhu Haowen chewed the biscuits vigorously, feeling that his cheeks were thrown away: "I live at my aunt's house, and my cousin's marriage arrangement also needs manpower. I have to come over and help in advance."
Ke Xun looked at his phone. It was after 17:00: "It's still early. Let's find a restaurant to rest for a while, and then go back to our respective houses after dinner."
Everyone nodded, and Qin Ci also said, "Let's have something simple in the evening, and we'll get together after Xiaomu arrives in a few days."
So Ke Xun took everyone to a restaurant with a clean storefront. The well-built restaurant owner looked at the four handsome men in front of him. The fruit pattern on the chest of the T-shirt made everyone fresh and juicy...
The owner of the restaurant opened his mouth with an accent of Chengdong of S City: "Ke Shen~ you always talk about it, please tell me, I have to treat you hard today!"
Wei Dong whispered and bit his ears with his two partners: "Ke'er is the rebirth of Boss Li..."
Boss Li spoke directly, and his voice was also loud: "I'm afraid the two new friends don't know. Three years ago, people called me Fat Tuo Li! I have more than 230 kilograms of meat, don't believe it? If it weren't for Ke Shen, I think it's all right now. Too fat to walk!"
While talking, Boss Li showed everyone the muscle lines on his forearm. Qin Ci and Zhu Haowen unknowingly gave a thumbs up to Ke Xun, a gold medal body sculpting expert. Speaking of which, this was the first time to get along with his friends outside the painting. While chatting and laughing, I didn't realize that there was a bit of sympathy for life and death.
Over there, Ke Xun and Boss Li were talking at the door of the box: "There are only four people, all of them on their own, don't make all those vain heads, the whole sheep feast? Get a quick rest! Come four bowls of authentic glutinous rice noodles, and then Serve with a few side dishes…”
Boss Li said, "The store is small and the food is simple." On the other hand, he arranged for the waiters to fill in the "Sixteen Steamed Bowls". The sixteen steamed bowls, including the black porcelain bowls on the top, were thirty-two bowls.
"Old Li Changliang, I'll give him 32 likes~" Wei Dong was rude, stretched out his chopsticks and took a steamed ball, put it in Qin Ci's bowl, and put a piece of fried tofu full of soup in Zhu Haowen's bowl , We have experienced so many paintings together, and we have almost figured out our appetite for each other.
"Since the experience of entering... This is the first time I have tasted food calmly." Zhu Haowen dipped the fried tofu in fried chili oil, and sent it into his mouth hot and spicy, exhaling hot air while enjoying himself Chewing: "Eat more than once, and you will have more greed for this world..."
If it was before, everyone might be depressed because of this emotion, but at this moment no one thinks about it. Everyone laughed and raised their glass of wine: "Those who are greedy for the world are the most worthy of drinking~"
Ke Xun put the phone in the middle of the table, and it was Mu Yiran on the screen. He frowned slightly, staring at the slightly shaking camera before he finally understood. He put the coffee cup in his hand in front of the camera and had sex with everyone. a cup.
"Seaweed and small crispy meat~your favorite~" Ke Xun pushed the two steaming bowls in front of the camera.
Mu Yi was struck by Ke Xun's words, put down the coffee in his hand, touched his chin and looked at everyone, as well as the delicacies that can be seen and eaten at this table.
"Boss Mu, when are you coming here~ Let's go to Ke'er's place to make dumplings~" Wei Dong couldn't drink enough, and he felt dizzy after three or five glasses of liquor.
Mu Yiran smiled lightly and didn't say anything, but Ke Xun understood from his smile that this person probably didn't have time to come over to accompany everyone - the next time we meet, I'm afraid we can only wait until the next painting.
Painting, this strange existence, should I hate it or appreciate it? Ke Xun and Mu Yiran "touched a cup" and drank it all.
"After all, how many levels have we passed?" Zhu Haowen started talking about this sensitive topic after observation and felt that the box was very safe, but he still avoided the use of the word "painting".
Zhu Haowen continued: "I started from Tongzilou, and I went with everyone. In total, I have passed three levels."
Wei Dong pushed the egg roll meat in front of Zhu Haowen: "I and Ke Er are crazy about you two."
After Qin Ci finished drinking, his face was not red, but pale: "I have experienced it twice with Xiaomu, and the third time I met Xiaoke and Dongzi."
Zhu Haowen tasted the delicious egg roll meat, and calculated in his heart: "In other words, from the total number, this game has already completed seven levels. Brother Qin, are you sure you entered the first level? "
Qin Ci pulled his thoughts back to the day he didn't want to recall: "At that time, 13 people said that it was their first time. It was in L city in the northwest. I worked there for half a year because of medical exchanges, and I went to art on weekends in my spare time. I wandered around the museum, and now I still remember the name of the museum - the Time Museum."
Qin Ci's mood at this time can only be understood by those who have been in painting.
Mu Yiran was silent on the other side of the screen.
"I think it's better for us to write down every experience. We don't need to record it in detail. We just need to record some key words and numbers in a cryptic way. Maybe we can find some rules from it." Judging from Zhu Haowen's expression , this person should have recorded all three paintings that he experienced.
Wei Dong's face was red from drinking, and he pulled his hair vigorously: "You said when this matter will be over, don't we just keep... breaking through the barrier for the rest of our lives?"
It's probably the most hopeless thing to keep painting for a lifetime.
"If it can be confirmed that Brother Qin and the others experienced the first level, that means that this matter has a beginning," Zhu Haowen held out his hand hesitantly, but he still fell down and patted the person next to him. Wei Dong, "Everything has a beginning and an end, and it is impossible to cycle indefinitely."
"On the beginning, there can only be two conclusions," Mu Yiran said on the screen, "Perhaps that time in L City was the general beginning of this matter; A new beginning after the annihilation."
"After all, that time was the beginning," Ke Xun picked up the conversation, "At present, every level we have experienced has its own rules, as long as there are rules and rules, it means there is a certain number, so we can't go through the levels endlessly. , These levels, there must be a total number."
There must be a total of these paintings.
People go in and out of the painting all the way, how many paintings is the end point
"Since the number is 13, maybe the total number is also related to 13." Wei Dong said what many people thought, and then scratched his head, "It's really not a lucky number."
"Under the premise of this assumption," Zhu Haowen dipped his hand in water and wrote the number 13 on the table, "Since the first level in City L, seven levels have been passed today, and half of level 13 has passed. Turning a corner, but from the three levels I have experienced, it seems that the degree of difficulty is equal, and there is no rule from easy to difficult."
"Because the genres and styles of these works are different, the worlds shown are also different," Mu Yiran said this time, "NPC's performances are also different, some are very mechanical, some are blurry, some But they can observe us secretly, and even carry out bewitching."
Mu Yiran was referring to the "Shadow" that everyone just came out: "By the way, about those Morris patterns, it is indeed related to the painter's experience: this person once performed Morris painting for a huge mansion in order to make a living. Pattern drawing, those patterns are mainly orange, continuous, and spread all over the mansion. The painter has been drawing for a full year, and then he has undergone psychotherapy for nearly half a year. This incident probably caused a great deal to him. Stimulate."
This explains why there is a window with a Morris pattern in a Fauvist painting, and Rong Rong's image in that painting appears in orange—all of which represent the artist's inner world.
Mu Yiran seemed to have something going on over there, so he nodded to everyone, and stopped the video chat.
Ke Xun looked at the video he pressed down, and Mu Yiran gave himself the last look.
"According to what Xiaomu said just now, are the NPCs in these levels gradually becoming stronger? Even gradually thinking?" Qin Ci speculated.
Regarding the summary of the laws of all paintings, everyone is eager to get a glimpse of one or two. Once they grasp the clues, it may be a magic weapon to save their lives.
But the current analysis is just speculation.
The box door was opened, and it was the owner of the restaurant who came in. In the tray were four bowls of steaming beef noodle soup with green coriander sprinkled on top, which looked very delicious.
"I pressed the glutinous rice that leaked from the bed with my own hands, and the taste is definitely not ordinary!" The boss enthusiastically put the glutinous rice noodles on the table one by one, and also placed a plate of sliced beef and a few small plates of seasonings, "I just entered the door. After listening for a few times, I can't understand what you young people are saying. It's similar to that kid like me who stays at home and plays games all day. I chat with my classmates all day long, so I tell him: the real danger It's not the game world in the computer, but the reality! You'll know when you step into society, you can be resurrected if you lose your life in the game, and sometimes it's hard to get up after a fall in the real world."
When everyone heard it, they thought it was the truth, so they all raised their glasses to drink with the boss.
"I'm sorry, I've stopped drinking since I worked out," the boss poured himself a cup of tea and drank it with everyone, "I'm in the year of birth this year, how old are my elder brothers. There are few rivers and lakes that are sinister and ups and downs. I feel that some things that seem difficult are not necessarily bad things. People, you have to have some experience. Once you experience it, you will not be so timid. "
