"..."
Luo Zhen and Silica walked side by side on the dense streets, and there was an indescribable awkward atmosphere between them.
Call it awkward, but actually this atmosphere comes entirely from Silica.
Luo Zhen was still the same as before, with a face full of laziness and carelessness. He was just teasing Bina while walking on the street, making Bina keep making sweet noises.
But Silica is different.
(What to do, what to do, what to do, what to do, what to do...!?)
Silica walked silently beside Luo Zhen, but she was screaming anxiously in her heart.
Although Silica finally chose to team up with Luo Zhen because of Bina, but after thinking about it carefully, Silica discovered that she had never had the experience of being alone with a stranger of the opposite sex before.
In other words, at this time, Silica didn't know what actions she should take or what topics she should talk about.
(What a fool I am! Why didn’t I realize this before...!?)
Silica complained to herself in her heart.
(Ugh...it's all Bina's fault...)
Silica could only follow Luo Zhen and remained silent.
until…
"That's right." Luo Zhen said to Silica: "Can I just call you Silica?"
Luo Zhen spoke out so suddenly, which startled Silica.
However, Silica reacted quickly.
"Yes...yes! Please do this!"
Silica responded quickly.
"So, Silica, can I ask you a question?" Luo Zhen asked curiously: "When did you subdue this little guy?"
"When...?" Silica tilted her head and said truthfully: "About a year ago, right? When I was walking on the lower floor, I suddenly met Bina, and she even approached me. I will take it with me. I fed it the nuts I carried, and then Bina followed me back to town."
"I see." Luo Zhen nodded and said, "You are so lucky."
Generally speaking, although small animal type monsters sometimes do not take the initiative to attack, they will choose to get close to the player. If they suit their liking and feed them, it is possible to accept them as familiars, but if they happen to be encountered It is considered very lucky to meet this type of monster, and it is even more lucky to carry the food that the other party likes with you.
So, Silica's luck is really good.
In this regard, Silica also nodded calmly.
"Yes." Silica said without hesitation: "Being able to meet Bina is really the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me in this world."
The smile that appeared on Silica's face as she said this was not the kind that felt happy about her luck in being able to conquer her familiar, but the kind that made her happy that she was able to meet the familiar named Pina. kind of.
As an expert on familiars, Luo Zhen could almost tell from this smile how much Silica valued Bina.
Of course, what Silica values is not the ability of the familiar, but the existence of Bina itself is very important to her.
Obviously, Silica doesn't just regard Pina as a pet she cultivated in the game, but as a true companion and friend.
"Chirp!"
Bina also let out a beautiful cry again, as if to echo Silica's words.
It can be seen from this that the relationship between Silica and Bina is by no means as simple as the relationship between an ordinary beast tamer and a familiar.
It's not that Luo Zhen can't understand.
(If Silica's age is really what she looks like, then it would be too cruel to let a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl live alone in a world where she could die at any time.)
Under such circumstances, when Silica met Bina, it was not just an opportunity for her, but an encounter with an important friend and partner.
Silica must have regarded Bina as her spiritual sustenance, so she could continue to live in this world, right
This can be seen from the fact that Silica pushed away the other teams and chose Luo Zhen, a single player, to form a team with him for Bina.
It is precisely because of this that Luo Zhen will actually team up with Silica.
In fact, although Luo Zhen raised his hand at the beginning, his real purpose was not to form a team with Silica, but for other purposes.
However, this is a story for another day.
"Okay." Luo Zhen said to Silica: "Are you ready to leave the town? Or do you need to replenish recovery items or repair equipment first?"
"No, no need, I'm ready." Silica shook her head, and then asked tentatively: "Then where should we go? Lost in the forest?"
To the north of the 35th floor, there is a forest composed of dense and huge trees.
The forest is divided into hundreds of blocks in a checkerboard shape, and it is set so that if someone steps into one of the areas for one minute, the surrounding blocks will randomly change. Therefore, it is called the Lost Forest.
There are only two ways to leave this forest.
One is to continuously break through each block within one minute, move to the next block before the block changes, and continue like this. The lost forest that has not reached the one-minute time limit will not undergo structural changes. Players will naturally be able to go out sooner or later.
One is to use expensive map props sold in the prop shops in the main street area and move forward while checking the connections of blocks in all directions.
These are the only two ways to leave the forest.
In addition, even using the transfer crystal in the lost forest is useless, as it will only be randomly sent to a certain area of the forest.
However, thanks to this structure, there are many undiscovered treasure chests in the Lost Forest. The monsters inside are also higher level than the monsters in other training areas. After hunting, you can get more experience points, money and dropped props. It is a very good place for mid-level players.
After Silica arrived at the 35th floor, she also hunted in the lost forest.
"Lost in the forest?" Luo Zhen touched his chin, and then suddenly asked: "Isn't it a kind of maze there?"
Can it be considered a kind of maze
what does this mean
Silica looked at Luo Zhen in confusion.
In response, Luo Zhen just waved his hand.
"It's nothing, I'm just talking to myself, don't worry about it." Luo Zhen skipped this question with a perfunctory attitude and said, "Okay, let's go to the Lost Forest."
"Okay...ok." Although Silica was still a little concerned, she still nodded.
After that, the two went to a nearby prop store to buy high-priced map props unique to the Maze Forest, and then left Mixie and headed to the Lost Forest.
These two people didn't notice that someone followed them immediately after they left the town.
