A Race to (Be) The Top

Ji Meng finished 180 episodes of the man-machine drama in his mind, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Chang Huanxi was talking on the phone, and his expression seemed to him a bit...disgusting.

Fortunately, Chang Huanxi hadn't chatted for a long time and hung up the phone soon.

"Who are you talking to on the phone?"

"Ah Ling, I didn't expect it, I got his phone number." Chang Huanxi laughed.

Ji Meng silently read the "telephone number" several times, and figured out another doubtful point.

"It turns out that the phone numbers of Ruby and Zero are similar. It is not a coincidence that the company sometimes buys an entire number segment to use as a work number for employees. Unexpectedly, they even take care of AI."

"Xinshan's staff have considered the details so thoughtfully for you. You can't disappoint their kindness. The point is, don't blame them. These people are also doing it for your own good."

Ji Meng called up Lubi's number from the address book, and looked through it over and over.

Chang Huanxi gave him an encouraging look: "Shoot as much as you want, such a sloppy style is not like the usual you."

Ji Meng hesitated and pressed the dial.

Ling Xiaolu had just hung up the communication with his mother when he received a new call. After seeing the call notification, he almost shook his phone.

In reality, when Ji Meng received a call, the Dimensional Wall was a little unstable.

"...Friend?" He picked it up cautiously.

Ji Meng actually didn't think about what to say: "Well, you defend... No, have you finished calling yet?"

Ling Xiaolu: ... what are those two words before "not", please explain to me clearly.

But he replied obediently: "It's over."

"Then..." Ji Meng got stuck again, "Online?"

Chang Huanxi frantically hinted with her eyes: Say something nice.

Ji Meng replied with his eyes: I don't understand.say what?

Chang Huanxi said angrily, "Say you want to see him."

"I want to see you." Ji Meng answered quickly, and after finishing speaking, both of them were stunned, only Chang Huanxi gave a big thumbs up.

Ji Meng's voice shook the tympanic membrane, and Ling Xiaolu's heart beat suddenly faster, and he couldn't describe what it felt like.

He and Ji Meng had only been separated for a few hours, but they couldn't wait to see each other again.

"Okay, wait for me!" He agreed without thinking, hung up the phone, and ran downstairs.

Ji Meng was also flustered: "What should I say when I see him?"

"Tell me the first thing you want to say when you see him!" Chang Huanxi couldn't wait to help him activate the app on the ring, "Just say what's on your mind!"

Chang Huanxi heaved a sigh of relief when Ji Meng was half pushed and half rushed to the line.

"If this confession fails, I will change my surname to Ji!"

The two of them went offline together in Dongye, and went online face to face at the same time.

Obviously, the running around offline will not affect the online, but both of them are panting at the same time, it seems that in order to see each other faster, they have traveled for a long time and finally saw each other.

They were one step apart, their eyes met, and the silence was louder than the sound.

As soon as Ling Xiaolu's brain became hot, he wanted to pounce on him.

Ji Meng's heart is full of twists and turns - his parents are fake, teachers and classmates are fake, the bracelet is fake, even the past is fake.

He lives in Truman's world, alone, but clinging to the lies fabricated by others, innocently believing in the whole world.

With a sweep of his long hands, Ji Meng hugged Ling Xiaolu, who was rushing up, into his arms, and hugged him tightly.

"Don't worry, you still have me."

Even if your whole world is fake, but I am real.

Ling Xiaolu: ... Oh day?

Ji Meng tightened his embrace again.

"I'll take good care of you."

Ling Xiaolu: I don't want it.

Ling Xiaolu struggled to break free: "My friend, are you still misunderstanding something?"

Ji Meng shook his head resolutely: "No, I believe everything you said."

Ling Xiaolu didn't believe it.

"I accept your character design, no," Ji Meng said in a panic, "You said you don't want to form a contract, right? Then don't, you can do whatever you want."

Ling Xiaolu: ...It's even more unbelievable!

Ji Meng pointed to Ling Long: "Is this your customer service? I want to see him."

When Ling Long was summoned, he felt a little guilty when he saw Ji Meng at the scene.

"I know everything."

Ling Long cautiously aimed at Ling Xiaolu, the other party's performance was beyond his imagination.

"Yes," Ling Xiaolu testified for Ji Meng, "I told him everything, and I know everything I need to know."

What you shouldn't know is also filled in your brain, so you can figure it out.

"What's your number?"

Ling Long didn't want to say it, but he dared not say it: "92735."

He thought to himself that it was over, was this considered a crime of deceiving the "lord"?

Given Prince Ji's notoriously irritable personality, he might lose his job.

"Too... this player is really sorry. I am also a low-talking employee in the customer service department. I can only do things according to the orders of my superiors. I didn't mean to hide it from you, huh."

Ling Xiaolu also felt sorry for this humbug, and at this time, he almost called out Ji Meng's black name, Linglong is immortal, and heaven will not allow it.

Ji Meng's performance surprised them both.

"It's okay, I know it's not your fault."

Linglong: ...

Relying on Ji Meng's unfamiliarity with the dragon's body structure, he secretly patted the dragon's head with the dragon's claws, meaning: Is his mind abnormal?

Ling Xiaolu nodded tacitly. From the moment he confessed, he has been ill, and it has been visibly worsening.

Ji Meng continued: "You not only have to be his customer service and help him conceal his identity, but also pretend to be his pet..."

Ling Long almost burst into tears: Bosom friend!Unexpectedly, his bosom friend turned out to be the young master!

"It's really hard for you to be caught between the company and Ruby all the time."

The miniature dragon claw held Ji Meng's hand tightly, and Ling Long's eyes filled with tears: "It's not hard work! This is what I should do!"

"Thank you."

Ji Meng shifted his gaze from Ling Long to Ling Xiaolu: "Thank you for taking such good care of him."

Ling Xiaolu: ...

Ling Long: "For the company, I will die!"

"Give you a raise."

Ling Long: ...! ! !

"Thank you too... no, thank you this player!"

"Is there enough funding for the AI ​​​​R&D department? If you need funding, you can speak."

Ling Long was also stunned: Shouldn't it be the hardware peripherals department?

"If, I mean if I want to develop new features..."

"What new functions do you want!" Ling Xiaolu interrupted him frantically, "I suspect that something is wrong with your mind!"

"There's no need to develop it," Ji Meng hurriedly retracted what he said earlier, "It's fine now."

"What do you mean it's fine now? Why don't you tell that department to delete me!"

Ji Meng hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand again, hugged the angry Ling Xiaolu into his arms, and patted him on the back.

"I was the one who said the wrong thing."

Ling Xiaolu was not much better.

"No forgiveness!"

Ji Meng recalled how he usually coaxed the angry Lei Lulu.

"Here you are." He had a pink ball in his hand.

Ling Xiaolu: ...I will eat it!

Ling Long stared at the two of them dumbfounded, is it so unconventional for couples to quarrel now?Why can't he understand a word?

After eating the meatballs, Ling Xiaolu rubbed his forehead on Ji Meng's shoulder with unconcealed excitement. Ling Long looked up at Ji Meng and supported the back of the other's head, and condescendingly said to himself with his back behind his back: "Increase bonus."

Linglong: ...

It did a backflip, and its two front paws were held together: "This player, if you want to add any functions, feel free to mention them!"

Little Lubi ran over bouncingly, and saw his father feeding him, grabbing Ji Meng's armor.

"Dad, yes!"

Ji Meng resolutely fed Xiao Lu Bi Ye balls, and picked them up, one big in one hand and the other small in the other, with a long-lost aunt smile on his face.

Ling Long couldn't take his salary for nothing, so he dedicatedly took a family portrait of a family of three, who made taking pictures is one of the functions of small pets.

"The one on his neck, is there a way to show it?" Ji Meng pointed to the collar.

Since the company designed such a story background for Ling Xiaolu, there must be a way to reveal the collar.

Selfishly, Ji Meng wanted to take a look at Ling Xiaolu who had a pink name on his head.

Ling Long: "Yes, press and hold the switch for three seconds, and then draw it on the neck for at least half a circle, and the hidden state will be released."

Ji Meng did as he did, and Ling Xiaolu's collar appeared on his neck, and his name turned pink.

Ling Xiaolu couldn't feel anything, but in Ji Meng's eyes, what he had been dreaming about day and night had become a reality, but he couldn't move, because he wanted to respect his personality, and Ji Meng was running between heaven and hell.

It took him so much effort to control his impulse, but the other two opponents who were eyeing him were hard to say.

He also has no way to send people to follow him 24 hours a day like Dou Kou, so he can only choose to negotiate openly and honestly.

The unpopular "Black and White Impermanence" was invited to Ji Meng's home - this was also the first time Jinjiu entered Ji Meng's private house, where he met Xiaolubi as he wished.

Little Lubi is the same as Big Lubi, and he is not afraid of the poisonous dove, so he stretches out his white and tender hands curiously to touch his mask.

Zhenjiu wanted to hug him, but was snatched away by Ji Meng. Ji Meng treated Ling Xiaolu like a different person, but he still didn't look good towards outsiders.

"Go play with Leilulu." He sent Xiaolubi away and returned to the negotiating table.

"You must know Luby's identity already." He looked coldly at the two sitting there, "I invite you here to make a gentlemen's agreement. Luby himself does not want to bind the contract, as long as he disagrees, anyone Nobody can force him."

"What will happen if you force it?" Zhenjiu teased, "Is the account gone?"

"You can try it."

"I want to talk to my disciple alone."

Ji Meng disagreed: "Let's talk about it here."

It's rare for Zhenjiu to agree with him: "Why don't you let me whisper something?"

Among the three, Ling Xiaolu felt the most sorry for Li Zheng. He guessed his identity earlier than everyone else, but he never threatened him, and even helped him out of danger many times.

"Master, I'm sorry, you helped me so much..."

"It's my own choice to help you. You don't have to say sorry." Li Zheng interrupted him, "I've been waiting for this opportunity to communicate with you for a long time. If you don't want to make it public, I can wait. Now that I have waited, I will explain."

Ling Xiaolu was very nervous, afraid that what Li Zheng said was something he couldn't refuse.

Although Ji Meng didn't want to admit it, he was also nervous inside, only Zhenjiu couldn't see his expression.

"I have been looking for a suitable partner, you are the first person who made me feel that this person would be very suitable when I first saw it.

"In order to wait for this person to appear, I offended some people, and they all wanted to prove to me that I was wrong for not choosing them, just like Qingmei you have seen.

"I don't care what other people think, but this woman, in order to get revenge on me, squeezed my master away.

"My master, who picked me up when I was a novice like you, said wildly that he would train me to be the number one in the server, and half-coaxed and half-deceived me to become a master.

"However, she herself has a big personality, loses everything, doesn't even know how to take care of herself, so she brazenly says she wants to train me.

"But it is also this person who has witnessed all my growth. Everyone has seen me on the top of the mountain, but only she has seen my climbing process.

"No matter how many people look up to me at the top of the mountain, I will always remember the people who have always encouraged me during my mountaineering.

"It's also the same person who left the game the day before his boyfriend formed a bond with someone else. He didn't leave a word to me, and he hasn't appeared since then."

Li Zheng paused slightly.

"Ziba and Qingmei are the two people I would most like to lose to in this game. But now, I am not absolutely sure that I have defeated the two of them together.

"Even if they ridicule me as a coward in person, I decided to give up this year's Fengyun competition. It's better to be ridiculed off the court than to be defeated on the court.

"Until I met you, you gave me hope, the hope of defeating them again."

Li Zheng stared at him intently: "I need you."
