Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 561 Ji Ming's Spring Festival

Although according to the development of the earth, this 647 million has already included the vast majority of rich people in the world who can afford a VR helmet and the yuan account activation fee.

However, major helmet vendors are engaged in a crazy price war to occupy the mainstream market, and governments of various countries are constantly increasing preferential measures to increase manpower.

The VR helmet, which originally cost 10,000 yuan and was in short supply, has seen a price collapse.

Even the latest trial (low) price has dropped to one thousand yuan per model, and it can also give away five former VR flagship games.

Of course, under the suppression of "Two Moons' Struggle", those users who bought the helmets as a New Year reward for themselves would not even look at them.

"What kind of junk is this? Even a dog wouldn't play with it!"

The same night you get the helmet, you will get a 647 RMB discount on your savings card. From then on, you will sleep with the game on every night and become a famous electronic pet.

However, although this is another wave of people joining the game, compared to the major guilds that were still very confused a year ago, everyone this year is obviously much more skilled.

Many players have already signed labor contracts with various companies and organizations before they even join the game. They can start working after reaching level 20 in the Novice Village within seven days.

Yes, after a brief period of suspicion and discussion, the influence of "Two Moons' Struggle" in the real world has become increasingly greater and has almost become an inseparable part.

After all, as long as people enter the game, their real body is almost like an object, and entertainment and work can be done in another world.

The resulting significant reduction in actual demand and the surge in employment opportunities have directly eased many of the increasingly acute contradictions on the planet.

Although, to put it in a worse scenario, if Ji Ming goes crazy one day and shuts down the server of "Double Moon Struggle", the drastic changes will directly lead to a huge explosion of Earth civilization and the official start of S3.

But to put it in a positive way, as long as "The Struggle of Two Moons" can run stably, the Earth civilization will get rid of a lot of constraints and sit back at the negotiating table, and the development speed will be much faster than before.

At least the only space station on earth today has allowed foreign astronauts to observe and learn, and participate in the construction of the lunar base.

Just like the fastest period of human development in the last century, at least in the "external" field, everyone has come together again.

This is a new beginning, and perhaps in a few years, it will be recognized by historians as a great symbol of the earth's civilization entering a new era.

Amidst the continuous good news, Ji Ming finally chose to spend this year's Spring Festival at the busier Foreign Affairs Bureau headquarters.

As a local employee of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, Adele naturally got a Spring Festival holiday so that she could experience the feeling of a festival in another world.

So even though strictly speaking there is not a generation difference in age, the teacher is the elder, so Ji Ming still gave her some New Year's money.

And because she wasn't given any last year, she was given two this year.

"Okay!"

But before Ji Ming had the chance to announce his travel plans for the next few days, he saw a hand reaching out to him.

"What are you doing?"

"What about mine? I want one too."

The one who could do such a shameless act must have a virtue comparable to that of a little lion and an upbringing comparable to the Aurora Dance of Saint He.

"Damn it, not to mention that you are only nine years younger than me, you have already reached adulthood, why do you still need lucky money when you are almost twenty?"

Aurora had guessed that he would say that and immediately pointed to Adele beside him.

"You're right, but if I remember correctly, isn't she eighteen this year? How can I say that!"

"Look at how hysterical you are. How embarrassing!"

Ji Ming immediately stood in front of Adele.

"I am someone's teacher. Once a teacher, always a father. Isn't it natural for me to give some money to the children during the Chinese New Year?"

……

"Did you miss a word?"

"No."

……

"Why don't you ask me if I dare to call you dad?"

"Because you're so brave."

……

"Just give it a try. What if I don't dare?"

"Oh, God, I remember you have a father, right? If both your parents are present, then go ask your biological father for money!"

Now Ji Ming only hopes that when the little lion and Aurora Dance meet one day, he can bow respectfully to this shameless master of the field.

Because her next sentence was.

"Didn't I tell you? My biological father became successful by calling others dad - he was married into the family."

"I understand. This is your Bai family's family tradition, right?"

"Yeah, my grandpa did it too."

"You really..."

"father."

"..."

Ji Ming had no choice but to send her a red envelope of four yuan on Fetion.

"Three dollars for iced black tea and one dollar for pudding. Take them as New Year's gifts. Oh, save some money."

Aurora Dance's originally happy expression froze after seeing the number. She wanted to say something but stopped herself, and finally said one sentence.

"Damn it, you're just being stingy!"

After saying that, she went offline angrily.

Since they had no family left anyway (no hell joke intended), Ji Ming and Adele had a New Year's Eve dinner with their local colleagues at the Foreign Affairs Bureau.

As a result, while he was eating, he started to receive a large number of messages on his Fetion.

First, Director Chen sent a classic blessing to the group: [Chinese New Year, everything is new, Zhao Dongsheng and his family wish you good health like an evergreen tree, a successful career like a spring breeze, and a harmonious family like the warm sunshine in the new year. Happy Chinese New Year and happiness to your family! ]

Then came a series of blessing text messages from old colleagues in the Foreign Affairs Bureau. Some were sent to a group, such as Wu Ye, who actually wished his parents good health, and some were individual, such as Brother Tiaozi asking him if he wanted to go to his place to celebrate the New Year next year.

Even the Gaul guy [Iris Temple], the anti-demon warrior Sanjori, and Howard, a Chinese-American executive of White Eagle who he had met once in the dungeon a long time ago, sent him New Year's greetings.

Especially the former, who spoke to him in poor Mandarin.

Low EQ: "What the hell this Gallic barbarian said is bullshit!"

High EQ: [Haha, I understand. Congratulations buddy! ]

However, after thinking for a moment, Ji Ming reported to Lao Zhao that Howard had contacted him privately.

But the reply I got was a sentence worth savoring: [Oh, it’s just a blessing, normal communication, no big deal]

Tsk tsk, it seems that things on Earth have really changed a lot...

At this time, the little lion also sent a message: [Hey, the Chinese New Year is still fun. I am having hot pot with my old friends. Come and see how my Chinese New Year sushi is? ]

As a descendant of a heavenly soldier from a most imaginary parallel universe, he was born in Pingdong Prefecture under the jurisdiction of the Yamato Province, which means Old Tokyo. This weird creature actually has the terrible tradition of eating sushi during the New Year.

But the picture he attached was not the so-called "festive sushi" that would make Ji Ming's eyes go dark and dye the rice red, but a picture of...

[My evaluation is that a dog will never change its eating habits]

[Jealous! You are just jealous of your buddy's ability to pick up girls! ]

That’s right, as the saying goes, it’s hard to change one’s nature, and Giuseppe is causing trouble for the little girl again.

And judging from the fact that her ears are a little pointy but still relatively rounded, she is obviously a half-elf girl... well, she could also be a grandmother.

……

Oh, it’s hard to say who is picking up whom.

The last one is Aurora Dance. She is more aggressive because the words she captioned the picture are: [Family].

The following is an outdoor photo taken from a low angle, obviously in a medical institution such as a nursing home.

In addition to the medical staff in the corridor, the camera also sees festive decorations everywhere on the walls, floor and ceiling.

There was also a middle-aged man and woman who were dressed quite respectably and were communicating with the doctor, and a little boy who was leaning on the railing of the gazebo and looking out.

Ji Ming thought about it and replied.

【pretty good】

Then he added another sentence.

【envious】

Sincerity is the ultimate weapon. Aurora Dance, who thought that Ji Ming would curse at her even if his defense was not broken, obviously did not expect such a reply.

After a long while, I sent a message [You are also my family (love)]

Ji Ming couldn't help laughing, thought for a moment, and replied, "I love you (love)"

But no matter what the two of them were thinking, the young boss was really about to vomit, and was anxiously scratching words in the lower right corner of Ji Ming's field of vision.

[I'm already wondering if you're expressing your affection or disgusting each other! ]

After that, many people sent blessings to Ji Ming, from the dungeon to the distant deep forest kingdom, and Ji Ming replied to them one by one.

[No, I order you to take the next three days off] This is Archangel Sylvia.

[No, I order you to work for the next three days] This is the lazy dog ​​Bloomfield.

[It’s New Year’s Day, we can talk about it later if there’s anything.] This is Heart Lucia who wants to force Ji Ming to work overtime.

[It’s New Year’s Day, we can talk about it later if there’s anything] This is Eleanor who was still working overtime until the last second.

There were too many things to do, so when all the busy work was over and Ji Ming was finally able to start eating, he found that all the dishes had been cleared away and everyone had left.

Only Adele, who was sitting next to him, was left: "..."

"Well, sorry, that's how the adult world is. There are always endless interpersonal relationships to deal with."

Okay, Ji Ming’s first meal of the new year: instant noodles!

...and Adele couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she went to the kitchen and cooked two dishes for him.

"Woo woo, you are really my sweet little cotton-padded jacket. I am so touched. Your teacher wants to reward you. Don't leave tonight."

So the next morning, Ji Ming took Adele and boarded the recently opened train that could go directly to Sunshine City.

"The two of us, master and disciple, secretly went home to celebrate the New Year without taking them to play!"

……

"Especially that jerk from Aurora Dance!"

Adele: ???

After all, Sunshine City is Ji Ming's birthplace. Since he is spending the New Year in his own home, naturally there will be no accidents.

By the time they have visited all the tourist attractions built and developed by players, this rare long vacation will be almost over.

"goodbye!"

After bidding farewell to Adele who was reluctant to leave, Ji Ming, who had to get back to work, set out for Qixia City again.

However, he took a detour halfway to visit Eleanor's Black Water Territory and Fia's Far Mountain Territory.

The development of Blackwater Territory has long been on the right track, so under Ji Ming's guidance, the Far Mountain Territory of "Eguifeisui" has also become a rare stop for players in the northeastern region of Glow.

And as we all know, the nobles are born cowardly and stupid, and are best at swallowing their anger and being self-righteous.

So after the Far Mountain Territory announced that it would accept pioneers, the resistance and opposition it encountered was actually much smaller than Prince Philip had imagined.

With almost no obstacles, Fia successfully obtained external assistance from the pioneers, and the previous alliances and trade routes were not interrupted.

There was no way, although the pioneers' stance was somewhat biased towards the royalists, which made the opposition nobles who were bent on usurping the throne unhappy.

But the products from players are just too good to be true!

Whether it is the pitch-black weapons or the shiny jewelry and ceramics, they are all top-notch goods and there is real demand for them.

If you ask them to do business directly with the pioneers, a group of country bumpkins from a foreign land, they will definitely not agree for the sake of their own face.

If you ask them to do business with Princess Eleanor, who is not involved in the aristocratic circle and has her own school of thought, no one would agree for the sake of their own dignity.

But if you ask them to do business with Princess Fia, who has a clean background and the support of Prince Onii-chan, everyone will definitely be willing.

Man, this is the core idea of ​​diplomacy - compromise!

So Eleanor took over the low-end demand market, and Fia took over the high-end face market, and these two companies actually took over the trade share in the Northeast region.

As a result, driven by the pressure of reality, both Eleanor and Fia were a little more mature than the last time Ji Ming saw them.

"Then there's nothing much to say. Just give some New Year's money to the hard-working kids."

The first month of the year was all about the New Year, and Ji Ming, who had no shortage of money, plucked out a few more hairs.

As a result, the portion given to Eleanor was returned by Archbishop Tenith as New Year's money.

"Ji Ming, although you are already 29 years old this year, according to the Eastern conventions, you should be married and have a career, but who says I am an old succubus?"

"According to our age calculation method, even if you are a hedonist, you still need to maintain a healthy body and mind at your age. You are a clean child."

"Oh, I am young..."

Perhaps it was because Eleanor's life had gotten on track, and Tenith, having lost his last concern, looked much older.

Although she still looks like a well-matched older sister, her behavior is no different from that of an ordinary old lady.

So much so that when he was speaking to Ji Ming, he was even lying in a rocking chair under the winter sun, speaking slowly, with his brows lowered and his eyes closed.

Anyone could see the deathly aura gradually gathering around her, so Eleanor, who was sitting next to Ji Ming, was always in a depressed mood.

After listening to the archbishop's chatter about many things about the past, his youth, and his father, the two left the garden in silence.
