This villain, please exercise some restraint.

An Xu, who had just gotten off the plane, clicked on the flight mode when he saw a message from Uncle Wang, one of the organizers of "The Storm".

[The winner of this year’s Jianghu Fengyun said he wants to investigate you, and... this person seems to have a great background. I always feel that there is something wrong with him. You’d better be mentally prepared. 】

An Xu smiled, somewhat helplessly.

Investigate him? Have a background? What's the use of knowing this? His most glorious deeds occurred during the time when he participated in "League of Kings", and he had admirers because of this period.

Before this period of time, the virtual aura brought by competitive games had been erased, and he was just a waste who once even disliked himself.

If an admirer of oneself can understand the whole picture of oneself through investigation——

If it was the pervert, he would be quite happy. Maybe, after that guy understands himself deeply, he won't behave in such a rude manner again.

This is what he really wants to see.

When he chose to retire at his peak, he had no intention of leaving a mark in history. In the final analysis, he had a clear understanding of himself.

He is not a pacifier or a legend. In essence, he is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person with shortcomings...who loves prostitution for free.

Maybe a few years later, as he retires and no longer appears, the discussion about him will become less heated, and then he will really get what he wants.

And now-

After thanking Uncle Wang, An Xu clicked on another message.

Not surprisingly, this message was sent by Xia Xiaotong.

[Isn’t your admirer going too far? Does he speak regardless of the occasion? He doesn't think he's funny, does he? 】

Soul asked three questions in succession, which made An Xu's lips rise slightly.

Just...how would he know the answer?

[Okay, okay, let’s not talk anymore. I’m going to see Sister Xiaoyun. I don’t know how she is doing yet. It’s really worrying...]

【oh! By the way, it seems that the linkage between "Final Fate" and "Jianghu Fengyun" is about to start. Ye Jiang and I may not be able to log in these two days. How about you go in first and help us explore the way? 】

【Thank you, Xiao Anan~】

When An Xu saw the words "Xiao An'an", An Xu's hand holding the phone trembled.

"Oh, there's really nothing we can do against this young lady."

That's what he said, just the curvature of the corners of his lips, but never suppressed it.

Fortunately, he also had this intention.

It's rare to encounter the linkage between "Final Fate" and "Arcade". One is a holographic game that he is very concerned about now, and the other is a game that he has been deeply involved in. Unexpectedly... they have a connection.

He had no reason not to explore.

Just... control that npc - thinking about this guy, An Xu felt a little pain in his head. He just hoped that this guy wouldn't be so haunted and bite him so hard.

Although he likes difficult games, he deliberately targets... He has no masochistic tendencies.

......

The world of "Final Destiny", Central Plains.

Compared to the Star Dou Forest, which is full of ferocious beasts, this place is made in an ancient style.

As soon as he stepped into the Central Plains realm, a brief introduction to this world appeared in front of An Xu.

This is the usual practice when players first step into a "new map".

For example, the introduction to the Star Forest is - even if the stars change, this Forest of Steel, which contains a lot of resources, will still be open to you.

This sentence is quite short, but it is not a subtle statement about the positioning of the Star Dou Forest.

According to An Xu's understanding, the Star Dou Forest is a gathering place for many raw materials. It is also a must-go place for players to accumulate experience points in the early stage and obtain weapons-making resources.

But at this stage, most players' exploration of the Star Forest is only at a shallow level. They would like to obtain too many in-depth resources, but they just don't have the strength.

As the introduction says, the Star Dou Forest "will always be open to players." It and even the entire forest are completely open, but it is limited by strength, and no one has set foot in deeper areas.

As his thoughts turned around, An Xu watched the bright yellow regular script in front of him slowly appear and then quickly dissipate.

[The Central Plains is a transportation hub, where all forces are entrenched, with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It reaches the East China Sea in the east, the Western Desert in the west, the Southern Border in the south, and the Northern Plains in the north. 】

The introduction to Zhongyuan was also quite simple and crude.

"The southern knot is the southern border..."

An Xu murmured these four words. This linkage opened up a corner of the map of the Central Plains and Southern Xinjiang.

The introduction to Zhongyuan gave him two basic pieces of information.

First, the transportation was developed, and the introduction to the transportation took up half of the page. He had an intuition that there might be something fishy in it.

Second, the situation is complex and unfathomable.

When his vision returned to clarity, An Xu blinked and walked forward along the catwalk in front of him.

Each player has a thoughtful map prepared by the system, with teleportation points and various locations marked on it, which is a good helper for road-crazy players.

For An Xu, as long as he ran through the map once, he would basically remember it. But for Xia Xiaotong, a top road addict, she could spin more than ten times in the picture no matter how small it was.

Therefore, An Xu quite recognized the system's auxiliary props.

At least when there is no one to lead the way, the player's gaming experience is greatly improved.

When he entered the game, there were only a few rays of dawn in the sky, but when he was about to enter the core area of ​​the Central Plains, which was the location of this linkage mission, it was already dusk.

Looking at the faint outline in front of him, An Xu adjusted his silver-white glasses and smiled slightly.

Soon, it arrived.

A gentle breeze blew over his cheek, blowing his slightly longer hair a little, but the excitement was faintly visible in his eyes hidden under his glasses.

Not many players can get here so quickly. The players who occasionally walked by glanced at the strange young man standing there who seemed to be stopping to admire, then looked away and continued running forward.

A ghostly figure quietly appeared beside An Xu.

The visitor's entire body was wrapped in a black cloak, and the black cloak hat covered the expression on the corners of his lips, making it impossible for people to see through his thoughts for a moment.

Compared with An Xu, who was wearing a white novice uniform, the two were one black and one white, one bright and one dark, but... unusually harmonious.

"control."

An Xu didn't even turn his head, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, as if he was not surprised by his arrival.

If this game had a pet following system, Temperance would definitely be the one that follows the most closely.

"You haven't done anything. To be honest, I'm quite surprised."

An Xu moved the black hair from his forehead, looked at the afterglow of the sun in the sky, and said.

"..."

What responded to him was a long silence.

When An Xu couldn't help but turn his head to look, the inexplicably familiar black figure was no longer around him.

Temperance, inexplicably followed him all the way, appeared inexplicably, and then... disappeared of his own accord.

An Xu scratched his head, and the surprise on An Xu's face was visible to the naked eye.

Something is wrong, there are a hundred things wrong, and you finally caught yourself alone. How can you control this guy and not bring yourself to death?

But now, instead, he walked away as if nothing happened...

"What a strange guy-"

Muttering to himself in a low voice, An Xu suppressed the surprise on his face in the next moment, stopped thinking, and trotted forward.
