Snowflakes were falling down little by little.
The shadow leopard squatted on a tree and looked at the figure hugging in the snow from a distance. After a while, it silently jumped from the trunk to the ground.
Just after turning into a black-haired youth, a tall figure appeared beside him, holding a three- or four-year-old baby in one hand, and holding a kebab in the other.
"Little September, do you want to eat?"
The silver-grey short-haired man handed the skewer to him and asked with a smile.
The black-haired young man squinted at him, with a stinky face, and did not take the skewer, while Cha Mo still raised his hand, the two of them stood at a stalemate until—"Eat...eat..."
The little doll in his arms also clapped his hands, his sea-blue eyes were sparkling, maybe he didn't understand the meaning, but he babbled.
Eyes fell on the smiling face of the child, the black-haired youth pursed his lips, and finally couldn't hold back, stretched out his fingertips and pinched his glutinous cheeks.
Soft and dough-like, with the tenderness of egg whites, it feels particularly good.
The little doll is not very happy.
His mouth pouted slightly, and his blue eyes were wet, but he didn't struggle to open it, which made people want to bully him even more.
Jiuyue smiled wickedly, and just as she was about to withdraw her hand, she saw that the heat on Cha Mo's face had faded, and she stepped back slightly.
He paused, then snorted again.
He simply took a skewer from the man's hand, squatted on the ground, and bit the diced meat while looking at the two increasingly blurred figures in the distance.
The person beside him stood silently for a while, and just when he thought he had left, he heard him ask again, "Why did you form a contract with him?"
September rolled his eyes.
At this time, the man put the little doll down, and the little mermaid leaned over to him, staring at him curiously.
Jiuyue rubbed to the side, but the little mermaid didn't follow, just put her finger in her mouth, and stared straight at him from the spot.
At this moment, a snowflake fell and just landed on his nose. Those clear and beautiful blue eyes suddenly turned into cross-eyed eyes.
September:"… "
He looked at the little doll helplessly, stretched out his fingers to help him wipe the snowflakes off the tip of his nose, thought about it, and then dragged the skewer to the top of the wooden skewer, and then brought it to his mouth.
"Can you eat?"
Xiao Haige looked at him, then looked at the barbecued meat that exuded a tempting aroma, opened his mouth and bit it down, and his eyes became brighter and brighter when he ate it into his mouth.
Cha Mo looked down at them and smiled lightly, "Mushuangcheng's barbecue sauce is still so special, you can bring some when you go back."
Jiuyue hummed, looked at the little mermaid hugging the kebab and eating sweetly, and paused, "Heidi and the others... are they really gone?"
"not sure."
Cha Mo shook his head, "This little guy is probably Heidi's child, the emperor's blood of the sea elves. He will be hunted by sea beasts alone. No matter how you look at it, the sea elves are not optimistic."
Jiuyue pursed her lips, looked at the little mermaid's ignorant appearance, reached out and rubbed his soft blue hair, and whispered: "What are you going to do? Take this little brat to the imperial city, and then find them?"
Cha Mo did not speak.
"You're still the same." Jiuyue sneered, "So nosy... Are you still injured?"
Cha Mo was silent for a while, then laughed again. He looked down at the young man squatting on the ground: "Is Xiao Jiuyue caring about me?"
I thought he would fry immediately, but the black-haired young man just quietly raised his head and looked at the dark night sky.
"The sea is dangerous."
He stood up, picked up Xiao Haige and stuffed it back to him, "Don't think I'll take care of him, you pick it up, raise it yourself!"
Cha Mo was forced to take over the little mermaid, and being seen through his intentions, apart from being a little helpless, there was not much embarrassment.
"September… "
"Don't get close to me, I said I didn't forgive you, your life or death has nothing to do with me!"
After speaking, the youth turned into a black panther, blended into the shadow under the tree, and disappeared.
Cha Mo stood where he was and shook his head with a smile.
"Ah—" Xiao Haige waved her little hand, as if surprised by the sudden disappearance of September.
Looking at his innocent and innocent appearance, Cha Mo had a headache. The pure-blooded sea elf was still a royal family, and it was different from a half-elf like Xiao Asheng.
The most intuitive, even if the legs are differentiated, the pointed ears can't be hidden.
Really want to give it to Roland's little emperor
He could see that the sea elf should have no intentions, but even so, he is not a good candidate for entrustment.
After all, it is impossible for him to take care of the child all the time, and there is no guarantee what will happen to the people under him...
"Boom~Boom~" Under Cha Mo's gaze, the little mermaid spit out bubbles in a bored way, but on land, his bubbles didn't succeed, which made the little guy puff out his cheeks unhappily.
Cha Mo sighed again, turned around, took the little mermaid into the space crack, and disappeared in place...
In the early morning, the sun shines through the glass windows, reflecting the frost flowers condensed on the glass crystal clear.
Xu Sili was sitting by the window holding a cup of hot milk, looking at the icy sky and snow outside, the whole person was lazy and had no idea of going out at all.
It has been more than a month since I returned from Dusk Frost City.
It snowed heavily in the Imperial City yesterday, and the weather became as cold as Dushuang City. He had already put on a mink velvet coat and stayed in the Imperial Palace all day long, relying on the not very warm floor to keep him alive.
The floor heating of the bedroom relies on the magic circle engraved below, which is similar to the one in the bath, but I don't know if it is old, or because the area of the palace is much larger, the underground fire magic circle is not very powerful.
However, the bedroom is already a palace with good thermal equipment, much better than the courtyard where he lived in the trial world.
In this winter, I don't know how many people will freeze to death...
Xu Sili was a little worried.
Of course, it is estimated that there are very few people who are afraid of cold like him. From the attribute panel, the subsistence rate of the imperial city has not dropped much, probably because a large number of element masters have been put into production, many people can eat, and the anti-freeze ability is also Improve it a lot.
With the continuous production of wood elementalists before winter, the granaries on the imperial city side have been built one after another, and they have been transported to various villages and towns through the elementalist mercenaries.
The problem of food and clothing has been greatly improved than before.
As for the other four major cities, Lanxing City and Mushuang City do not need to worry for the time being, but Lihai City and Lanyue City have more prominent problems.
However, after sending the Elementalist engineering team over, Xu Sili ordered the foreign war to be stopped, let the garrison hide in the city, and then ordered the Elementalist to engage in production.
Lanyue City, which had the most difficult conditions, was due to Si Sheng's shot and Xu Sili's lv2 upgrade before returning. Now that the hole in the protective barrier has been resolved, manpower can be freed up.
In this month, the production capacity of elemental masters is not bad, and with the addition of many one- or two-star elemental masters, the efficiency has improved a lot.
Lihai City itself is close to the sea. Even in winter, the temperature is rarely below zero. Now it is the warmest among the five cities. At present, the Elementalists are stepping up production.
But thinking that in a few days, the second test will start, Xu Sili is not so worried anymore.
After all, there are players here, and it is convenient and fast to transport food, as long as the granary in the imperial city is full.
When it comes to transporting food, Xu Sili thinks of the teleportation formation.
Nearly two months have passed, and there is still no progress in the construction of the teleportation array. After understanding it, he knows that the related inheritance of the array has been broken for a long time.
Chi Yu has a special talent for construction, but whether the formation method is considered construction is still open to question. In short, it is impossible to build it well before the second test.
Anyway, I have already met my second brother, so Xu Sili is not in a hurry, just take it slowly.
The next focus is on the three lv3 urban areas of the imperial city, as well as Lihai City and Dushuang City, because he read the strategy, and the imperial city can continue to be upgraded only if the four main cities are upgraded to lv2.
Several main cities are mutually restrained. If you don't read the strategy in the future forum in advance, you will have to take a lot of detours.
Xu Sili thought slowly, and felt that after entering the winter, his thinking would also be a lot slower, and he always felt as if he had forgotten something and couldn't remember something.
It wasn't until Si Sheng came in from the door and walked up to him that he came back to his senses.
"Your Majesty." Si Sheng called to him in a low voice.
Xu Sili nodded with a smile, waved Janice and the other maids back, then took his hand, and finally hugged him dissatisfiedly, burying it on his waist and rubbing.
"It's so warm~" He couldn't help sighing.
Si Sheng didn't mind being his heater, he gently stroked his long hair with his big palms, enjoying the intimate time that only belonged to the two of them, and then asked, "What were you thinking about just now?"
"Well, I was thinking that the hero is coming again soon..."
Maybe, he can let Si Sheng and his second brother meet... Xu Sili thought to himself.
However, Si Sheng stroked his long-haired hand, obviously stunned.
"The brave... are you coming again?" he whispered, his tone somewhat unclear.
Xu Sili didn't hear anything unusual about him.
"Yeah, two more days." When he upgraded the Imperial City before, he detected the summoning circle by the way, and recorded the opening time of the second test.
Si Sheng hummed softly, but the image of the young man embracing the brave man flashed through his mind again, making the bottom of his eyes a little gloomy.
"Ali." He suddenly shouted.
"Um?"
Xu Sili responded, suddenly got up and rushed towards him. Si Sheng took two steps back. When he realized his intention, he simply hugged him and sat down on the sofa the next second.
Xu Sili sat on top of him, held his cheek with a smile, pecked his lips, then tightly wrapped around his waist, his cheeks pressed against his neck, squinting to absorb the warmth of the man.
Second brother should accept Si Sheng, right
Xu Sili thought silently.
In fact, what he is most worried about is his big brother, um, and his father. I hope that there will be peace and no bloody incidents will break out.
"Your Majesty..."
Si Sheng tried to continue the topic just now, he finally made up his mind, but the people who were chasing in his arms obviously didn't think so.
"Well, you say it."
Xu Sili concentrates on unbuttoning his clothes, and now he especially likes to see Si Sheng's appearance from meticulous to disheveled.
Si Sheng lowered his eyebrows and looked at him. The young man's cheeks were already crimson, and his complexion was very white, so as long as he was a little excited, the change was obvious.
At this moment, his eyes were sparkling, and his rosy lips were so seductive that his throat tightened slightly.
"You are like this, I can't say it." He said with some difficulty.
Xu Sili had already unbuttoned his jacket, and when he heard him use honorifics again, he knew that he was serious about talking, so he had to stop and sit down obediently.
"That's fine now."
Si Sheng looked at his gentle and angular appearance, it was hard to imagine that he would be so dignified and indifferent when facing outsiders.
This is the god that belongs only to him...
his Ali.
If you want to ask, suddenly you can't ask.
Perhaps, this is good now, there is no need to go to the root and break the state that has been finally achieved.
Thinking of this, Si Sheng didn't ask any more questions, leaned over to kiss the young man's red lips, and turned around and pressed him on the sofa.
Xu Sili blinked, vaguely feeling something.
It's just that he soon won't have the energy to think about things. After all, although he took the initiative, the control is no longer in his hands...
As the time for the second closed beta is approaching, a lot of work in the game team has been arranged as planned.
For example, the 5,000 game cabins that were reserved were announced five days before the start of the internal test, and all of them were distributed to the players who paid the deposit within two days.
These 5,000 game cabins are basically drawn at random, and are no longer directly provided to professional players as in the first test, so this time the ingredients are more complicated, and there are basically players from all walks of life.
The number of players scheduled for the second test exceeded 100,000, and the winning rate was 5%. After receiving the game cabin, many lucky geese posted photos and videos on the Internet.
Deng Jianan is one of them.
As a relatively well-known anchor in the game circle, he has been paying attention since the first test of Starry Sky Era, but unfortunately he didn't have a share in the test, so he could only hide humbly in the forum and spy on the screen.
And now, as an African chief, he finally got a lot of luck and got the qualification to purchase the second test, how could he not live stream it
"Hello everyone in the audience, have you seen the staff behind me? They are helping me set up the game cabin!"
"That's right, it's the game cabin of Starry Sky! Please call me Ou Huang'an from today!"
A wave of envy, jealousy and hatred quickly passed through the barrage, and of course there were also yin and yang peculiarities.
[This is the holographic game cabin that sold 50,000 units? It looks normal too]
[50,000 yuan, the anchor is really embarrassed]
[The first test is called Ou Huang, you are called a big head]
Deng Jianan rolled his eyes, "A thousand gold can't buy a good heart! I like it! And you haven't investigated it, do you know how much Huaxia Coin is worth in the game?"
"Hey, ten dollars!"
"So I only need to get 5,000 Aixue Coins in the second test, and then I will pay back the money. Do you understand?"
Deng Jian'an's family is considered wealthy, and being an anchor is also out of interest, so in the face of people who are yin and yang, it is not at all accustomed to it, and it is directly open to confrontation.
Those who follow him also know his temper. Not only is he not disgusted, but he is also swiping the barrage "good". Some people have analyzed that it is the price of the first test, and the second test should be reduced.
"It's hard to say."
Deng Jianan said while sending the installed staff away, "The second test should not open the recharge channel. If the recharge is not opened for a day, the price of the game currency will not drop in a day."
"And you think, if you can make a shot, you will be a local tyrant of 50,000. Which one do you think will waste time on brushing game coins?"
[Haoan starts again]
[Tsk tsk, do you see these two round coins in my hand? Now it's gone!]
[Woooo, me! If you hit me, I'll definitely go for it! I persuaded my mother to get on, but she didn't get hit, my heart hurts!]
Deng Jianan laughed and said that he would send a red envelope to celebrate on Weibo later, and the barrage let him go.
Then, he showed the audience the game cabin worth 50,000 Huaxia Coins in all aspects, and hung the link of the live broadcast room opened in the Starry Sky Forum to warm up for the official launch of the second test.
Like him, there are many people who are looking forward to the opening of Star Era, including Xu Yuheng.
But this time, he didn't want to play, but after an emergency test at the research center, he has come to the conclusion that the physical condition of that Miss Yin can fully withstand the load of holographic games.
And because of her vegetative state, the game cabin has also been specially modified to ensure her nutritional supplements during the game.
As long as the second test is officially launched, she can test whether she, as a vegetable, can recover her consciousness in the holographic game.
Not only the Yin family, but also Xu Yuheng attaches great importance to it.
Because if you can get the support of the Yin family, the situation set up by the old foxes such as Lin Hua can be solved easily, giving enough time for the development of Star Era!
Of course, he also attached great importance to Yin Xing's line.
If this poor Miss Yin can't connect to the game, then the Yin family will play a big role.
As a younger brother, Yin Hong, as long as Xingyuan Era can really make Yin Xing like it, she will never sit back and watch this project be destroyed.
At 10:00 a.m. on September 22, the Star Era finally ushered in its second closed beta test. At the same time, about 6,000 people were already waiting in the game cabin.
In the senior VIP ward of a private hospital.
In the spacious and comfortable room, there were two more game cabins that were more than two meters long. The woman who had been lying on the hospital bed all the year round was now transferred into the game cabin. Through the transparent cabin door, she could be seen. Weak, thin face.
Yin Changping and his wife, the doctor and the staff sent by the game team surrounded the game cabin, while in the other game cabin, their grandson Yin Zhaoyang was lying.
He'll take their place, guiding his aunt in the game, if that works out, of course.
And Yin Xing was also lying in the game cabin at the moment.
His sister wasn't by his side, but she would also enter the game together, and they made an appointment to reunite in the game.
[Welcome to the Era of Starry Sky]
Accompanied by this mechanical female voice, countless people, with their own hopes and expectations, consciously connected to this epoch-making holographic game.
It was also from this day that the Starry Sky Era officially started its legendary journey, but many people did not realize this at this moment.
Xu Yuheng also lay in the game cabin. After a familiar dizziness, he opened his eyes again, and he had come to a virtual space.
In front of him, the universe starry sky began to evolve, and countless planets flashed away, finally converging into a dazzling galaxy.
Being in it makes people feel infinitely small, and can't help being immersed in this beautiful starry sky. Then, the picture changes suddenly - a planet full of primitive atmosphere expands in front of it, accompanied by shocking sound effects, A line of small words appeared above the planet.
[Novice Planet: Ai Xuexing]
Xu Yuheng was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he was also shocked by the evolution of the starry sky, and then he realized that this was a newly added cutscene.
When he selected Ai Xuexing, his body began to sink uncontrollably, turning into a meteor and crashing into this fascinating planet.
Although he had already experienced it during the first test, he had to say that once again, Xu Yuheng still felt his heartbeat speed up.
Immediately his eyes went black.
When he opened it again, he had come to the place where he had been offline at the first test time—on the top of a tower in the inner city of the imperial city.
Looking forward, you can overlook the entire inner city.
In reality, it was still early autumn with a bit of heat, but in the game it was already winter. I saw snow and silver, and there were still countless pedestrians walking through the streets.
It seemed that it was the same as before he went offline, and it seemed that something was different.
Of course it is different, the Imperial City has been upgraded to level 3!
Xu Yuheng felt a headache when he thought of the problems his brother gave him. Although the two plans were rejected by the elder brother, the research center raised it several times later.
Looking at the unfinished teleportation formation over there, Xu Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief.
fortunately!
It's just that he hasn't been lucky for a long time when a game prompt suddenly pops up.
[Attention, [Si Sheng]'s favorability for you is -10000, the favorability value has reached the [Deadly Enemy] range, and NPCs may kill you at any time]
[Reminder, [Si Sheng] is known as the patron saint of the Roland Empire. Your relationship with his mortal enemy will likely cause you to be attacked by his fanatical supporters. It is recommended to restore the relationship with him as soon as possible]
Xu Yuheng: ? ?
