A Race to (Be) The Top

In the end, he still couldn't get rid of the fate of repairing the courtyard. Ling Xiaolu stared at the hot spring under his feet angrily, as if he wanted to find the true meaning of life from the bubbling spring water.

"Master, it turns out that staring at the surface of the water can comprehend life."

Li Zheng carelessly fiddled with the snow on the plum blossom petals, as if the previous incident had never happened.

"What did you realize?"

"I realized that it's a fool not to soak in hot springs, hey—"

He lifted his feet and jumped into the pool. Unexpectedly, he stepped on an unknown object, which was soft and slippery and could still move.

Ling Xiaolu let out an "ahhhh" and fell into the pool in embarrassment, getting soaked from head to toe.

"There are water ghosts!" He cried out in fear.

A black shadow sprang out from the pool, Li Zheng stretched out his hand to catch it, Ling Xiaolu took a closer look, it wasn't that snake.

"You," Ling Xiaolu wiped the water off his face angrily, "Can you lurk in the hot spring just because you are a cold-blooded animal?"

The hot spring pool was originally small, Ling Xiaolu originally just wanted to soak his feet, but now he was squeezed wet in the pool, looking weak, helpless and pitiful.

"Master, why didn't you make the hot spring bigger when you first designed the yard, so that—"

The reason why he stopped abruptly in the middle of the conversation was because Ling Xiaolu caught a rare arc in the corner of Li Zheng's mouth.In such a world of ice and snow, under the blooming wintersweet tree, the beauty who was colder than the wind and snow, and more lonely than the wintersweet was smiling, and he was so amazed that he forgot what he wanted to say for a moment.

"How about that?" Li Zheng asked with pursed lips.

Ling Xiaolu really wanted to deceive himself, but he couldn't: "Master, are you laughing at me?"

"Yes," Li Zheng admitted frankly, "Is there a problem?"

"No problem," Ling Xiaolu hugged his wet self distressedly, and said bitterly, "It's pretty pretty."

When Li Zheng heard this, his smile deepened. Yunhu jumped off him and chased his tail in circles in the snow. This scene was so beautiful that Ling Xiaolu not only dared to look at it, but also dared to test it on the verge of death.

"Master, can you play the flute?"

With a flicker of Li Zheng's cold eyes, Ling Xiaolu hesitated: "I, I'll just ask."

Not daring to meet Li Zheng's gaze, Ling Xiaolu sank to the bottom of the pool with a guilty conscience, bubbles bubbled up on the surface of the water.

When he couldn't hold back anymore and came out of the water, he found that Li Zheng was still standing under the tree, but he had an extra jade flute in his hand.

Now the hand and the flute are integrated, the body of the flute is crystal clear, and the hand is also crystal clear, the fingertips rise and fall, the music rises and falls, faintly visible, near and far away, like resentment, like admiration, like Weeping like a complaint.There is a poem that says, riding the stream eastward, the jade flute blows the waning moon.It's not only the crescent moon that blows down with the song of Li Zheng, but also the wind and snow and the nine cold plums.The petals fluttered down, falling on the top of the hair, on the shoulders, and on the snowy ground, just now a white fox stepped on another plum blossom here.Now the fox has stopped playing, and listens quietly with the deer that fell into the water in the hot spring.

After a brief absence, Ling Xiaolu quickly called up the video function to record this once-in-a-lifetime scene. If he missed this time, he would probably have to look for the same scene in the special effects of the movie.

"Wow, Master," Ling Xiaolu sighed in disbelief at the end of the song, "It sounds good! I, I recorded a video, do you mind, Master? If you mind, I will delete it."

"I don't mind." Li Zheng put away the flute, thousands of strands of silver thread gushed out from under his feet.

Ling Xiaolu had seen this scene before, knew that he was about to go offline, and asked: "Then can I put it on my homepage?"

There are more and more silk threads glowing with silver light, and Li Zheng is wrapped around by the silk threads, and his figure gradually fades away.

"up to you."

"Thank you, Master!" Ling Xiaolu shouted hurriedly, "The hot spring is on me!"

After Li Zheng disappeared, Ling Xiaolu couldn't wait to cast out the holographic video and watch it twice. Before Li Zheng was present, he was ashamed to lick the dog blatantly. Watching the replay now, luckily he could bear it back then!

The short videos recorded in the game can be posted on the personal live broadcast page to attract fans to like and reward.A video "Ji Meng Dancing" on Ling Xiaolu has received hundreds of thousands of "licking screens" and gifts worth tens of thousands of gold coins since it was released. Get rid of poverty overnight.

After this piece of "Li Zheng Blowing Xiao" is released, I will be able to make a fortune!Ling Xiaolu rubbed his hands excitedly.

After posting the video, he expanded the hot spring, adjusted the layout of the yard, and planted more than a dozen plum trees because he thought that Lizheng and wintersweet were a good match.When Li Zheng goes online next time, it will be one step at a time, and the scenery will be like a painting. I feel drunk just thinking about it.

Ling Xiaolu, who had finished his work, lay comfortably stretched in the hot spring pool, and the silver snake came windingly, wanting to share the fruits of his labor.

"Go," Ling Xiaolu waved his hand to chase it away, "find a place to hibernate."

The snake circled around the shore, chose a place farthest away from him, and got into the water.

"Hey, forget it, I'll give you half generously." Ling Xiaolu bent his legs, and one person and one snake coexisted harmoniously in the hot spring.

Yunhu also came, but he didn't seem to want to get in the water. Finally, he fell on Ling Xiaolu's head, curled up into a ball and slept on it.

"As long as Summer doesn't come, it's quite spacious here."

The snake hissed and spit out its message diagonally behind him.

Ling Xiaolu turned his head and met the eyes of the white wolf behind him.

Ling Xiaolu: ...

Ling Xiaolu lay down in the pool and scrolled through the homepage.

The video uploaded just now really became popular. After all, many people have witnessed Ji Meng's dancing, and there are many video versions, but this is the only one for Li Zheng Chuixiao.Ling Xiaolu refreshed the page every second, and the number of screen licks increased wildly by hundreds.

——I can watch this video for a year without taking my eyes off it!No!ten years!

——Thank you PO master for sharing! PO Lord good people have a safe life!Eighteen lifetimes are safe!

——Male god, do you lack a flute?The one that makes dolphin sounds!

——I'm so envious, so envious, so envious of Ruby, you can actually listen to live performances!

——No, I'm satisfied with the video, I don't expect more! (Tons of liquor were poured)

——Why can Lubi enjoy such treatment? Do you know that Lizheng gave him a cloud fox today and was thrown away by him again?What did the fox do wrong again?

……

Ling Xiaolu checked the comments for a while, and found that there were too many to read, so he simply stopped reading.

Switching to the circle of friends, he liked Ji Meng's Jiugongge one by one. He guessed that he was probably the only person in the game who did this.

A stranger came over privately, his name looked familiar, but Ling Xiaolu couldn't remember who it was.

"Disciple Lizheng, are you there?"

Ruby: Who are you?

"Fuck, I'm 411!"

A potato appeared in Ling Xiaolu's mind.

Ruby: What did you want me for?

The 411 over there seemed unwilling, and came back after a while.

411: I have a bad attitude on the battlefield!I apologize to you!

Ruby: No.

411 almost sent out curse words.

411: I really do!

Ruby: Oh.

411: I apologize to you with practical actions!

Ruby: Really?

411: Don't you despise foxes?Just brushed a rare pet, only I know the coordinates, I'll take you to catch it!

411 was afraid that he wouldn't come, so he added more fuel.

411: Very powerful!A hundred times stronger than Yunhu, he was caught by others when he went late!

Ling Xiaolu naturally didn't believe what he said, so he planned to follow him to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.He is not afraid of golden or black names anymore, how can he be afraid of a potato?

Ruby: All right, how do we go?

The place 411 took him was also very remote.

"Of course rare babies are found in sparsely populated places," 411 suddenly became very enthusiastic, "I'll take you there, and I guarantee you can catch them!"

"Okay." Ling Xiaolu pretended to believe, and followed him to a maple forest.Maple leaves are as yellow as gold leaf and red is better than fire. The deeper you go, the more autumnal it will be. There is a thick layer of fallen leaves under your feet, and squirrels who are not afraid of people are jumping around in front of them.

"Where is the place you mentioned?"

"Don't worry! We'll be there soon!" 411 seemed more anxious than him, and didn't even notice the darts shot out from the woods.

"Fuck! Who shoots at me!"

Ling Xiaolu noticed a figure in the forest just now, he thought it was an ambush arranged by 411, so it seems that he has been wronged.

A man in gray clothes came out with his head down, bowed and apologized before he got close: "Sorry, I hit you..."

He bowed his waist, looked extremely unconfident, and spoke hesitantly, Ling Xiaolu couldn't see his face clearly at all.

"Grass, who am I?" 411 became annoyed when he saw the man's attire, "Can the locusts get away?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The person being scolded kept bowing his head and apologizing.

"Get off, get off." 411 Huiqi roared.

The man in gray picked up the darts and quickly retreated into the woods. Ling Xiaolu noticed his companions in the distance.

"Why are you so fierce?"

411 sneered: "Is it necessary to be polite to locusts?"

"What are locusts?"

"Don't you know about locusts? Do you know about cheating? Dajin Studio?"

"I know cheating."

"They are only a little bit better than cheats. The difference is that the cheats are automatic, and they are manual. They hang online every day to kill monsters, just to make some money."

"Oh..." Ling Xiaolu seemed to understand, "What's wrong with making money through labor?"

"The locusts destroy the balance of the game and make money worthless. There is no one in the game who doesn't hate them!"

"Then why didn't Xinshan block their accounts?"

"Xinshan?" 411 sneered again, "Do you know who the biggest customer of the locusts is?"

"who is it?"

"Prince Ji!"

Ling Xiaolu: "..."

"Prince Ji can support a studio by himself, how could he be sealed among these people?" 411 suddenly remembered, "Prince Ji, do you know who it is?"

"...I heard something."

"Not a good person either!"

"..."

Ling Xiaolu felt that as a friend, he had the obligation to defend Ji Meng.

"It's a bit too much for you to say that, and you don't know him well..."

"I don't understand, don't you understand?"

Ling Xiaolu rubbed his nose: "I don't really understand."

"That guy relied on his own connections, colluded with the studio, disturbed the price of gold, and even made all the girls in the server call him husband, and he is not afraid of kidney failure!"

If you say this, it will resonate with Ling Xiaolu. "It's not just a girl? He won't let go of even a man!"

"Yes, is it?" 411 was dumbfounded.

"Isn't it?" Ling Xiaolu was about to analyze it in depth, but suddenly realized that he had slipped up, and hurriedly muddled it away, "The sentence just now was just my guess."

"...Is that so," 411 whispered angrily, "I thought I had a chance too."

Ling Xiaolu:? ? ? ? ?

The topic seems to be developing in a strange direction, and Ling Xiaolu shoulders the heavy responsibility of bringing it back on the right track.

"Where is the baby you mentioned? Why haven't I seen it after walking for so long?"

"Hush—" 411 suddenly became very cautious, looking around, as if a beast would come out at any moment.

"What's the matter? Could it be that the baby is still very fierce?"

"Not fierce, not fierce, very gentle."

Seeing his eyes flickering and his voice deliberately lowered, Ling Xiaolu knew that he was not far from the trap.

"No, I, I'm afraid, you go ahead of me."

Ling Xiaolu deliberately pretended to be very timid and wanted to hide behind, but 411 was even more frightened than he looked, and insisted on walking in front, the two of them pushed and shoved, passed through a narrow pass, and suddenly saw a bright light.

This is a valley with a hidden entrance, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and a small pond in the southwest corner.

A rustic wooden house is located by the pond, and two or three crows landed on the roof, and in the distance is a small piece of farmland, where several NPCs are farming.

The autumn here is deep and the maple forests are full of colors, which is also a beautiful scene, but compared with the endless Beimang and Dongye, it looks a little more simple and idyllic after all.

Ling Xiaolu was a little disappointed that there were no ominous beasts as expected.

"Where did you bring me here? How can there be any rare babies?"

"Yes!" 411 insisted, "Go ahead."

He said so, but he refused to take a step forward.

Perhaps there was movement here, and a figure flashed out of the wooden house. Ling Xiaolu was stunned when he saw it, and the other person's footsteps also stopped for a short time.

Zhenjiu's silver-white helmet was covered with a layer of gold by the autumn scenery, Ling Xiaolu couldn't see the other party's expression, but he guessed that Zhenjiu was as surprised as he was at the moment.

"How did you come?"

"You ask him."

Turning his head, he saw 411 retreating more than ten meters away, shouting to Zhenjiu from the air, his voice still trembling.

"Zhenchenzhen, Zhenjiu! I brought you the bounty object you locked! This guy has a bounty of 100 million, you, you take it all, don't share it with me!"

Ling Xiaolu: "..."
