"What a pity. Later, Liu Bei broke his head and he never regained his previous bravery. However, his open-mindedness is still admirable."
With a slight sigh, Bai Zhi stood up from the recliner and walked towards the living room.
"A hero doesn't talk about his bravery. The past is in the past. We all have to learn to look forward. Have you ever seen Liu Chan publicize his victory? As the saying goes, if you are happy here, you don't miss Shu."
"No... Isn't this different?"
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Mu Qianse couldn't help but speak.
"Are you really not interested in what happened at that time? You are not Liu Chan, those things..."
"Yes, I'm not Liu Chan."
Shrugging, Bai Zhi took a can of herbal tea from the refrigerator.
"Okay, let's not talk about those things. Where are the others? Why are you the only one in the house? Have Xia Wen and the others not come back yet?"
"... Qingyi and Anna went to the Shadow World together, saying they wanted to make advance preparations for something. Lin Xiaoyi came back from the other world, but Xia Wen is still in the copy."
Mu Qianse seemed to sigh in his mouth and replied.
"Then she seemed to have gone out to find a new place to live because of Xia Wen's request. Originally, I wanted to go with her, but considering that it's not safe for you to be here alone, I stayed here. .”
"Huh? Have you finally decided to move out?"
Leaning against the door of the kitchen, Bai Zhi took a sip of the herbal tea in his hand, a look of caution on his face.
"Let me state in advance that you can move out, but I will not refund the rent they paid me before."
"... It seems we are not short of money, right?"
Looking at the vigilant person in front of him, Mu Qianse's mouth twitched slightly.
"Also, don't you think this house is a little too small? The original intention of the school beauty going out to find a house is for us to move there together. I heard that she is planning to find a villa by the sea or something..."
"The villa... wait, why do I have to move there too?"
Bai Zhi suddenly reacted and looked confused.
"If you want to move out, just move out, but I live well here, why do I have to go there? I paid the rent for this room for a year in advance, and I have only lived here for a few months, okay?" "
"The rent we paid before included protection fees. You don't want to deny it, do you?"
Before Mu Qianse had time to reply, with the sound of a key inserted into the keyhole and the door opened, Lin Xiaoyi's slightly teasing voice came from behind Bai Zhi.
"Don't you think it's inconvenient to live here? There's not even an elevator in such a high building."
"Speaking of which, you don't need my protection at all, right?"
Turning his head to look behind him, who looked like the school beauty who had just returned, Bai Zhixu answered with eyes.
"I think this house is pretty good. Why would you want to move to a place like a beach house?"
"There are three reasons."
After closing the door, Lin Xiaoyi stretched out three fingers in front of her face very seriously.
"First of all, we are all players, and according to the rule that players will attract monsters, we are actually not suitable to live in such a densely populated community."
The school beauty looked serious.
"Most of the people living in a residential community like this are ordinary people. If there are some weird stories that are attracted by our players and come to this community, those ordinary people will bear the brunt."
"But by staying here, we can protect them."
Looking at the serious-looking school beauty in front of him, Bai Zhi suddenly became interested and retorted.
"Are players able to deal with all monsters? Not necessarily. It's not like there are no examples of players dying in monsters, but ordinary people surviving from monsters. There are even many such examples... I can explain the details in a moment. The relevant information will be sent to you.”
Lin Xiaoyi shook her head slightly.
"Compared with the risks that players themselves bring to ordinary people, staying away from them is the greatest protection for them. It won't have any impact in a short period of time, but if you stay with ordinary people for a long time, something will definitely happen. "
"Well... what you said makes sense, but what about the second reason?"
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi nodded.
I'm afraid the reason why the deceased Zero wanted to move to her dojo before was probably due to this consideration.
"The second point is that we are familiar with and trust each other. As a player, you must have a few teammates who are trustworthy enough. If we stay together, we can take care of each other. "
Holding out a second finger in front of her, the school beauty looked serious.
"I think you agree with this, right? Rather than finding other familiar strangers to be your teammates, isn't it a better choice for us?"
Volume One: The Gap between Imagination and Reality: Chapter 402 Chapter 396 I am very principled
Just like many online games, there is also a team function among the player groups, but this function will not be opened until the player level reaches level ten.
Therefore, it is precisely because of this that only after reaching level 10 can players officially leave the new level.
It's just that this so-called team formation also has quite strict rules.
First, the level difference between the players in the team cannot be greater than one level.
This rule is actually easy to understand. The tasks and dungeon difficulties faced by high-level players and low-level players are different. Let a level 10 player participate in the dungeon experienced by a level 20 player. That is completely different. An act of courting death.
Second, the mandatory tasks assigned by the system cannot be formed into teams.
The significance of this rule can be regarded as a supplement to the first rule. After all, in the hands of large organizations that have a large number of wild monster resources, it is very simple to use wild monsters to quickly upgrade a novice player. matter.
However, this rapid improvement in level has a considerable drawback.
Every once in a while, players will receive mandatory tasks from the system. This unique mechanism is also the Sword of Damocles that urges players to constantly make themselves stronger.
Under the current premise of Kaitan invading the world, players actually have no way out.
There are many types of mandatory tasks assigned, and the location of the tasks is not limited to the own world itself. For example, in the tombstone apartment that Bai Zhi experienced before, the location of the tasks was in a place where humans were raised by ghost stories. in the world.
The higher the level, the more difficult the mandatory tasks you experience will be. Although you can quickly improve your level in a short time by relying on wild monsters, at the same time, the difficulty of the mandatory tasks you face will also increase. will rise sharply.
Therefore, under the premise that it is impossible to form a team for mandatory tasks, the act of occupying wild monster resources to quickly increase one's own level is actually a double-edged sword.
If it weren't for the fact that during this large-scale battle mission, players would not receive mandatory missions, Bai Zhi would not have helped Xia Wen and the school beauty quickly upgrade their levels, because such an approach would only harm each other.
The third and most important rule is that only players in the same guild can form a team.
The name of a trade union is not just a title, it also represents the code name of an organization, which can only be obtained after registering in the system.
Just like the teammate Mo Ran Liuli that Bai Zhi met in the previous dungeon, the name of the player guild she belonged to was called [国色天香].
[Relevant Departments], [Gold Hunter Group], [Blood Cross Society], [Nordic Heavy Industries], [Clock Tower], [Umbrella Company]... These player organizations that are famous around the world are here in the system. Corresponding to each player guild.
When players talk about joining these organizations, they are not just talking about it verbally, but they choose to join the player guilds corresponding to these organizations.
It is precisely because of this that Bai Zhi has never wanted to join other organizations, but is planning to establish an organization of his own. After all, there are too many secrets in him.
"You mean, we set up a players' guild ourselves?"
Raising his eyebrows, Bai Zhi looked at the school beauty in front of him.
"That's right."
Lin Xiaoyi nodded seriously.
"We have enough people to meet the minimum standards for applying to establish a player guild. Unless we want to join other player organizations, establishing a player guild of our own is actually inevitable, right?"
"Players can only apply if they reach level 15, and I'm only level 14 now... I'll wait until I reach level 15 before I can apply."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi nodded.
"What about the third reason for me to move?"
"Well... it's always insecure when several girls live together, so we ask you to come together... The villa has a lot of rooms, it's definitely suitable for living, and it's spacious..."
Unconsciously turning her head to look to the side, Lin Xiaoyi reached out and scratched her cheek slightly uncomfortably.
"It's not that I made any decisions on my own. I decided on the new moving location on my own. It's just that you were sleeping at that time. There's no need to bother you with such a small matter. After a detailed analysis, , taking into account many factors, the beach villa is indeed the best choice... If you don’t want to go to the beach, we can change it.”
"Is that just this?"
For some reason, Bai Zhi looked slightly disappointed.
"Where's the most important thing, money?"
"ah… ?"
Opening her mouth, the school beauty looked confused.
"I'm actually very principled, just give me money."
Bai Zhi spoke seriously amid the rather subtle look in the eyes of a certain night owl on the side.
"Instead of saying that there are so many things that you don't have, why don't you go ahead and give me a fixed price? How much is it?"
"Uh... I only have less than 10 million in my card, and this month's living expenses haven't been paid yet..."
Subconsciously taking out her wallet, Lin Xiaoyi took out a bank card from her wallet and handed it to Bai Zhi, and at the same time cautiously asked tentatively.
"I checked the property situation before. If I want to buy an unused seaside villa, it will cost about 6 million to 7 million. So now I can only spend 3 million at most... Is it enough?"
Bai Zhi: "..."
Mu Qianse: "..."
…So is this silly girl really serious
"Ahem... Actually, I'm not interested in money at all."
After coughing a few times, Bai Zhi threw the finished can of herbal tea in his hand into the trash can. He couldn't answer the conversation and simply changed the subject.
"Have you found a house? Is it so fast? Where is the detailed address? How many floors are there in total? How big is the area? Specifically, when can I move in?"
"Mid-level sea view villa, three floors, with backyard swimming pool and pavilion, area of about 150 square meters, these are photos and model introductions, I have not inspected them on site. If you hurry, you can move in tomorrow or the day after tomorrow... "
"Okay, then pack your things and we'll move tomorrow."
Before the school beauty could finish her words, Bai Zhi interrupted her words simply, bringing the matter to a decisive end.
"If you have anything to clean up, clean it up quickly. It's best not to put too many things in the system backpack on weekdays, and don't stuff everything in it, otherwise there may be a big mess at a critical moment... By the way."
As if he thought of something, Bai Zhi turned his head and looked at Mu Qianse.
"Did you return the car I borrowed before?"
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 403 Chapter 397: The Skill of Transformation Again
When the lanterns first came on, Qingyi and Anna both returned from the shadow world.
After finishing the meal in a hurry, before Bai Zhi could ask him anything, a certain white-haired loli couldn't wait to pull him to the shadow world.
When he woke up at dusk, due to the effect of the special potion, Bai Zhi's upper limit of spiritual power was increased again.
Currently, the total number of spiritual energy points he possesses is 2100 points, which has already reached the minimum requirement for skill transformation.
—The second transformation of the perfect skill [Shadow].
The dark gray sky remained as it always was, and everything in this world gave off an unusually bleak and dead atmosphere.
This is a world that has completely died, and even those weird stories have given up. In this dead and gray world, no living beings will ever be born.
After stepping onto the underground teleportation array, Bai Zhi and Qingyi arrived at an underground hall. The light from the gems inlaid on the stone walls on both sides of the hall dispelled the darkness here.
"...You and Anna worked hard all afternoon to decorate this place?"
Seeing the obvious scene, Bai Zhi couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
In the center of this hall, there is an altar made of transparent gems. With the altar as the center, a huge magic circle carved on the ground completely fills the underground hall.
"No, this is one of the results developed before the world was finally near destruction. Anna and I just carried out some cleaning and inspection work."
Qingyi shook his head.
"Put [World Contract] on that altar. The key to further transformation of skills lies in [World Contract] itself."
"Hmm... Then what will that skill evolve into?"
As he spoke, Bai Zhi walked to the crystal altar, took out the [World Contract] stored in the first compartment of his backpack and placed it on it.
"Honestly speaking, I am pretty comfortable using this skill now..."
"Let's wait until it transforms into a truly perfect level. Now your skills are still a bit flawed and not comprehensive enough in some aspects... Let's start."
While talking in his mouth, Qingyi looked towards the crystal altar.
