Lin Huai glanced at the girl, and the girl noticed Lin Huai's gaze, and quickly retracted her gaze.
Lin Huai:
People from Chenxing come and go in a hurry. Because the "circus" people had already left, soon, they also left here.
Before leaving, Chen Liexue said to Lin Huai, "Say hello to Tian Chu for me."
"Oh..." Lin Huai shook his hand, "Leader, see you again, Captain."
He had no expression from the beginning to the end, and he was still very indifferent. Lin Huai looked at him and suddenly thought of another person.
— a profiteer.
Xia Xingye is Chen Liexue's half-brother, and was once a member of Chen Xing. He once chased his elder brother, and later betrayed Chen Xing because of the death of another member. From then on, the meaning of his life was to take revenge on Chen Liexue.
He hates him.
But now, Xia Xingye failed to complete his revenge and died.
Lin Huai remembered Xia Xingye said that Chen Liexue had never seen him as a younger brother in his eyes. I don't know what Chen Liexue is thinking now that Xia Xingye is dead.
But Chen Liexue didn't seem to respond.
"Hey!"
There was a sudden slap of palms on his shoulders, Lin Huai turned his head, and what he saw was Du Chongshan.
Lin Huai raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Didn't you and Chen Xing go on duty to find someone?"
"It's boring to find someone on duty. How can we catch the crow so easily? If we could catch it so easily, he wouldn't be a crow." Du Zhongshan said carelessly.
Lin Huai looked at the hand on his shoulder: ...
"Tsk, aren't you afraid that your team leader will deduct your salary?"
"He won't today. Originally, he didn't come to the Sixteenth City today, but he said he would come." Du Zhongshan shrugged, "He is..."
When he said this, he looked into the distance and smiled: "It's actually a boring gourd."
"Stuffy gourd?"
"Stuffy gourd is that he holds everything in his heart, has no way to explain, and has no position to explain, so he doesn't explain, because explaining is useless. He is this kind of person, very stubborn, and very simple. So sometimes it feels really troublesome." Du Zhongshan said.
Lin Huai: ...
Lin Huai looked at Du Chongshan with a very strange look, and Du Chongshan said: "There is a young man waiting for you all the time, you say hello to him, and then my brother will take you out to play? Just right, you come The high-end camp is here, my brother is the host, and I will entertain you." Lin Huai turned around and saw Lu Xiaotian standing at the corner of the street looking at him, trembling. Du Chongshan said next to Lin Huai's ear again: "Young man is very loyal. Just now when the 'king' was about to beat you, everyone else ran away, but he was still standing there."
When he walked towards Lu Xiaotian, Lu Xiaotian still had a dreamlike expression on his face. Lin Huai dismissed him casually, and then Lu Xiaotian patted his chest and left.
"Okay, now it's just us two brothers left!" Du Zhongshan patted his chest and said happily, "Let's go, Brother Du will take you around!..."
"Hey, Du Zhongshan!" A sharp female voice sounded behind him, "I said where did you go, so you came here... Hey, you, you and him...?"
"Come here to bring the newbies to familiarize themselves with the familiar environment."
The person who came to him was that sweet-looking girl. The girl looked at him, curled her lips and said, "When did you become so kind?"
"What's the relationship between me and him? Which one of us is with whom?" Du Chongshan said with a smile, "Everyone has seen me wearing only underwear."
Lin Huai, who saw Du Zhongshan stripped naked and tied to a pillar before: ...
girl:…
She said "I care about you" and left. Lin Huai found that this girl was a bit weird, and every time he saw him, he would subconsciously look away, so he asked Du Chongshan casually.
Du Chongshan shrugged and said: "She, it's nothing, she must have been greatly impacted, after all, it was widely rumored that Tianchu likes blond hair, glamorous and big breasted women."
Lin Huai: "?? Who said that?"
"The crow said it when he was still in the regiment. He said that Tian Chu is a pervert who only likes blond, cold, beautiful and big-breasted women, and he also mocked him for not doing it. I was skeptical. But she seems to believe it." Du Zhongshan said , "Let me think about it... It seems that the three of them went to a dungeon once, and there was an auction in it, and Lao Chu took away a blonde NPC, but that NPC was disguised as a crow, and Lao Chu disrupted the plan. Oh I heard that the crow was also given medicine at that time, that scene was quite weird... "
Lin Huai: ...
"However, I feel that Lao Chu is deliberately trying to sabotage his plan. Or it's a good thing he's not raising it. Otherwise, if he really made a dio, how embarrassing it would be after the two of them released the dungeon." As he said, Du Chongshan laughed loudly.
Lin Huai: ...
He squinted, a little out of breath.
"Okay, before Lao Chu comes, I'll take you to the four main cities to play." Du Zhongshan said with a smile.
The two walked slowly in the warehouse area. As they walked, Du Zhongshan said: "When you have money and are eligible to buy land, you can transfer your capsules to other city-states. So living in the sixteenth City, either newcomers or ordinary poor ghosts. And the piece of land that originally belonged to you in the sixteenth city will also be empty, unless the system will allocate it to newcomers after you die."
"Why do you want to move?"
"The Sixteenth City is not very prosperous, and if you live in the Sixteenth City all the time, other people may get your address and guard your body at the door." Du Zhongshan shrugged, "Even if only friends know about it at the beginning. Your address, but friends will not stay friends forever. If you stay where you live in the game from the beginning, 'old friends' will come to seek revenge."
"Oh… "
As Lin Huai spoke, he saw an open space between the full capsules beside him. On the open space, there is a bunch of white calla lilies quietly.
Seeing Lin Huai stop, Du Chongshan said softly: "Oh, it used to be Xia Xingye's capsule there. But he has moved out for a long time, and no one knows where he lives now - a new one will be moved here soon. Is it a resident?"
Lin Huai suddenly knew who the source of this bouquet of calla lilies was.
Chen Lixue.
He doesn't know where his younger brother lives now, the only thing he remembers is his address when he first entered the game.
The edge of the city is the transport hub to other areas. Du Zhongshan took out some common currency and paid for the transportation fee. There, countless players walked into the beam of light and were teleported to another city.
When the pure white beam of light disappeared before Lin Huai's eyes, he heard Du Zhongshan's voice: "Okay—welcome now—"
"Four main cities, real high-end camps!"
…
The four main cities are much more prosperous than Lin Huai thought. There are many buildings and shops everywhere, and all kinds of strange-shaped institutions. One of the most eye-catching is the square located in the center of the city. There, countless bounty tasks are refreshed every moment. Players who come and go can choose to accept the task according to their own level, and return to the lobby after the task is completed to receive the reward.
On the square outside the hall, there are many players chatting and exchanging information. Du Chongshan saw Lin Huai staring at her, shrugged his shoulders and said, "The reward there is not worth much."
"It is worthless?"
"The four major urban areas only encourage legal rewards. What about exploring a dungeon, bringing back a certain item, etc. You have to receive rewards that are really valuable but lack a little bit of morality, and you also get black market rewards." go."
The place where Du Chongshan brought Lin Huai came was the busiest place in the entire main city, with restaurants, restaurants, and various cinemas lined up on both sides of the street. Du Chongshan led Lin Huai into a private room of a restaurant.
"Outside the game, if you want to eat bluefin tuna and the best caviar, you have to spend a lot of money. But here, you only need to pay a little bit of points." Du Zhongshan flipped through the menu familiarly, Lin Huai asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Lin Huai: "...I don't care."
"Oh, then follow the old menu." Du Zhongshan handed the menu to the beautiful woman beside her. She also seemed to be a player and only worked here. After the woman took the menu obediently, Du Zhongshan suddenly slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot the special service here."
The woman covered her mouth when she heard the words, and said with a coquettish smile: "Recently, a new batch has arrived in the building, what do you plan to do?"
"Still the same, I miss the old days." Du Chongshan grinned, looked at Lin Huai with a smile and said, "What do you want?"
Lin Huai looked at the beautiful woman next to him, then at Du Chongshan, and squinted: "Are you sure?"
"Sure, it's boring to go out to eat alone. Of course, it's interesting to have someone to eat with. PS, you can also feed them." Du Zhongshan said.
Lin Huai stared at him suspiciously: "Aren't you afraid that Old Chu will beat you?"
"Don't be afraid." Du Zhongshan said with a grin, "Choose quickly, there are all kinds of countries here, British, Nordic, American, local Chinese, long-haired, short-haired, blond, silver-haired, black-haired, White hair, male, female, father-in-law... "
Lin Huai: "... Father-in-law??"
The corner of Lin Huai's mouth twitched wildly, and he shook his head. Du Chongshan didn't wait for his answer, so he said to the waiter: "Give him something with a better temper. This is my brother's first time here, so I'm a little shy."
"Okay." The waiter said with a smile.
After the waiter went out, Lin Huai sat cross-legged on the ground, squinting and said, "You will be beaten to death by Lao Chu."
Du Chongshan smiled mysteriously at him.
After a long time, the tuna came, the wagyu beef came, and Shishidai sake also came. Then, when the paper door was pulled open again, Lin Huai's back tensed.
Then…
"Sir, here are the staff who accompany you to dine. One is a beautiful lady and the other is a cute little gentleman." The waiter smiled and said, "I wish you a pleasant meal."
"Thank you, Sakura." Du Chongshan picked up a piece of fish sashimi with his chopsticks and shook it in the air, "Come here."
A white long-haired cat ran up to Du Chongshan's side, raised its head, and swallowed the fish on the chopsticks with a "owwow".
Lin Huai: ...
"... What a genius idea it is to let the cat eat with you." Lin Huai twitched the corners of his eyes, looking at the silver long-haired cat lying beside him. Compared with Du Chongshan's well-behaved white cat, this silver cat was almost covered with rejection written all over its body, after being carried to Lin Huai by the waiter. It immediately found a place to lie down, and reluctantly began to sleep.
… so I hate cats the most. Lin Huai looked at the cat with a face like "Lin Huai owes me eight million", thinking with vacant eyes.
Du Chongshan: "You look sad."
"No." Lin Huai replied, "I understand the feeling of being forced to open."
As he spoke, he took a chopstick of tuna, put it near the cat's mouth, and looked at it without blinking. After smelling the delicious smell of fish, the cat moved its furry whiskers and opened its eyes...
"That's right, cats, as long as you give them something to eat, they will quickly get used to you!" Du Zhongshan compared his thumbs.
Then he saw Lin Huai, just as the cat was about to open its mouth to bite the fish, clamped the fish into his mouth at a very fast speed.
Du Zhongshan: ...
Cat:…
Lin Huai: "Hmph."
Lin Huai not only chewed it by himself, but also stared at the cat.
"For some people, the high-end camp is a paradise. Here, there are the best restaurants, the largest casino, and even an immersive movie theater. All the enjoyment you can't imagine and can't get in reality, in Here you can have it at a lower price—the premise is that you can survive the monthly dungeon without dying." Du Zhongshan rubbed the cat's head in his hand and said, "Drunk lying on the lap of a beauty, wake up The power of the world. The so-called pinnacle of life is probably nothing more than this, right?"
"...Generally speaking, when the characters in the novel say these words, what they touch is the head of a beauty instead of a cat's head." Lin Huaixu said with eyes, "It's not a rented cat's head..."
In return for his words, the silver long-haired cat squatting next to Lin Huai slapped him hard with its paw.
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense! Let's celebrate our little friend Lin Huai's arrival in the high-level field, and wish him a fortune in the next life! Shine!" Du Zhongshan raised his glass and said. Lin Huai touched the wine glass with him, and while drinking with his right hand, he pressed the cat's head that came close to the ground with his left hand.
"...Recently, probably the entire high-end camp will be looking for that person. But for me, unless the crow reappears in front of my eyes, the so-called rumors are all fake news to me." Du Chong Shan shrugged and said cheerfully, "If you have wine, you will be drunk today. Let the deputy head consider those troublesome things."
"Not Chen Liexue?"
"Leader? Leader, he is just waiting for someone. Everyone always has to look forward to something to survive. My hope is that every time I come back here after passing the dungeon, I can have a cute cat. Xiao Come here, eat another piece." Du Chongshan said, and gave the cat another chopsticks of fish.
—It's not bad to be able to live heartlessly like Du Zhongshan. Lin Huai thought.
"Wait a minute." Du Chongshan's cell phone rang, he picked it up, and sent a message back, "I'll send a message back, tsk...someone is looking for you."
Lin Huai was busy fighting the cat. He heard the words: "Who?"
"Who else? Hehe, I told him that we are eating in the red light district, and there are beauties to accompany you. By the way, the one who will accompany you is a silver-haired lazy British beauty with a bad temper..." Du Zhongshan's fingers flew like flying.
Lin Huai: ...
After a while, there was finally another knock on the paper door.
"Hello, here to pick up the cat." The human outside the door said.
…
Lin Huai and Chu Tianshu walked on the road in the main city, and they didn't speak a word along the way.
Chu Tianshu didn't look at Lin Huai, his profile was very cold.
As if still angry.
Lin Huai touched his nose.
When he reached the corner of the street, Lin Huai finally couldn't hold back, and said cautiously, "Are you still angry?"
Chu Tianshu: ...
Lin Huai: "What's wrong...uh..."
Pain came from both shoulders, and he was pressed against the wall by Chu Tianshu.
Chu Tianshu looked at him condescendingly, with a slightly gloomy expression.
It was a look that Lin Huai had never seen before, almost with a bit of hostility in his eyes.
And after Lin Huai's shoulder pain got worse, he saw another emotion under that gaze, which was suppressed hard.
— The desire to control.
— A desire to protect that borders on the desire to control.
Lin Huai: ...
After a while, Chu Tianshu sighed, tapped his forehead with his fingers and said, "Don't tiptoe."
"Oh." Lin Huai stood back calmly.
"What did you want to do just now?" Chu Tianshu asked.
"Generally speaking, according to the novels and movies I've read, the next male lead is going to press the female lead against the wall to kiss, and then say with red eyes that I'll give you my life." Lin Huai said, "So I'm going to Stand on tiptoe to cooperate with you."
Chu Tianshu: ...
He took a few deep breaths, and suddenly clawed out his claws like lightning, grabbed Lin Huai's head with both hands, and rubbed his hair into a mess.
"Idiot." He whispered, "Let's go."
"Leaving? What are you going to do??"
"Go to the hospital first, do a physical examination, and check your injuries—don't refuse, I know the puppeteer stabbed you through." Chu Tianshu opened the things that looked like terminals in his hand, and checked them one by one, "Then , take you to the office hall, register the property, move you out of the sixteenth district, and move you to my house. You stay alone in the sixteenth district, it's not safe, and then... "
Lin Huai: "...that's all??"
"Otherwise?" Chu Tianshu complained, "Then, we..."
His eyes stopped on the last line of text, and finally he said, "Go home."
