A Race to (Be) The Top

Li Zheng probably said all the words he had saved throughout his gaming career today, but before Ling Xiaolu could figure out how to reply, Zhenjiu laughed first.

"What's the matter? Li Zheng, he started to sell badly, he didn't sing well and he came from a poor background. Do you think this is a PK draft? You know my little brother's weakness is soft-hearted, and you use this to kidnap him. That's not kind. Besides, even That kind of scum can't be beaten, so your snake is so useless?"

His relaxed and teasing tone instantly dispelled the low pressure in the room, and the atmosphere created by Li Zheng was destroyed by him, and even Ji Meng secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

As expected, Li Zheng is Ling Xiaolu's master, and he is very strict with his little apprentice's tricks. For a moment just now, Ji Meng almost thought that Ling Xiaolu was going to agree.

Li Zheng, who was rudely complained by Zhenjiu, lowered his eyes, and the silver snake had turned into a sword at some point, and was held in Xu Xu's hand, his fingertips stroking the edge as if nothing had happened.

Zhenjiu casually tapped his fingers on the table, but his nails popped out, making the clang sound of sharp objects hitting the table.

"Little brother, don't listen to your master's provocative words. In the final analysis, you are just useful to him. I am different. Although I wash away your murderous intent for you, it is my personal choice. You don't need to feel that you owe it to me." , I just simply want to play with you. Like to play together, do you need any reason?"

Despite the masks, both Ji Meng and Li Zheng felt that they were being swept away by the sight.

"Look at these two people, one is cold and the other is fierce, what's the fun with them, they are not comfortable at all. Follow your master, you have nothing to say all day long; accompany the prince to study, if you are not careful, your account will disappear Why don't you stay with me, outside the battlefield, kill whoever you want, and go wherever you want."

"You can play together without being bound..." Ling Xiaolu said weakly. After the black dove became the golden dove, it suddenly became scary in his eyes.

Zhenjiu's lazy voice was mixed with a hint of charm: "But after binding, there are more tricks to play."

Ji Meng's face turned black all of a sudden: "I suspect you have bad intentions, if I catch evidence, your account will be gone!"

Zhenjiu sighed softly, expressing disdain.

Ji Meng was obviously displeased, he originally asked these two people to come to a gentleman's agreement, how is it now, are they competing for posts?

You two have long mouths, wouldn't you bully him?

In that case, don't blame him for being unscrupulous!

Ji Meng slapped the center of the table heavily with his hand, and left something behind after he left.

Li Zheng took a glance, his face changed slightly.

Zhenjiu's voice also stopped being lazy: "Ji Meng, you are going too far."

Ling Xiaolu is full of curiosity, what is it that can make his master change his face and the big devil raise his vigilance?

He looked over Ji Meng, and there was a lavender ball in the middle of the table, which was similar in appearance to the pink ball he had eaten, but nearly twice the size, and exuding a strong aroma.

Ling Xiaolu took a deep breath, intoxicated...

Ji Meng has the winning ticket in his hands: "Do you have the loyal meatballs that can only be exchanged for the prestige worship of pets?"

The legendary top-notch loyalty ball can instantly increase the pet's loyalty from 0 to 100. It is a soul-bound item that cannot be traded.

Pet prestige can only be obtained by collecting and raising pets. If you want to achieve worship, you need to spend a lot of money and energy. It is useless to spend money alone. You also need time, patience, and love for pets.

Compared with the energy required, the price/performance ratio of this top pet meatball is not so high.If there are no top-level ones, then feed them a little lesser ones, eat a few more, and the loyalty value will always be full.

Only someone like Ji Meng who really loves babies will keep a house full of pets regardless of rewards, feed each one well, and don't use them to fight, and his reputation in the pet world will gradually increase.

Ling Xiaolu couldn't hear what Ji Meng said, he was sitting on the edge of the table with his mouth open, drooling all over the table.

The response of the person involved is the best answer, Ji Meng is proud of himself, don't think that emphasizing affection and loyalty is Ling Xiaolu's only weakness, he can't deal with the two of you, and he can't deal with a foodie?

He wants to tell them with practical actions that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

The last one used is the killer's trump card!

In Nuo Da's room, for the time being, there was only the sound of Zhenjiu's nails tapping on the table, ringing irregularly.

After a long while, he exerted force on his hand, and five nails were deeply embedded in the table. He didn't know what material the furniture in the game was made of, but he just pierced five holes in the smooth table.

Zhenjiu moved her finger, and retracted her nails into the glove: "Is it a gentleman's agreement? I agree."

Li Zheng leaned back slightly: "I agree."

Ji Mengzhi was satisfied: "Ling Long, please be a witness as a staff member of Xinshan... Ling Long?"

Ling Long, who rolled off the assembly line a long time ago: You think too much, there is me but no Zhenjiu, there is Zhenjiu but no me, dear~

"Forget it, the three of us supervise each other." As long as there are two people holding back, the third person will not dare to mess around.

A tense negotiation was resolved peacefully, and Ji Meng, as the host, managed to control the situation. He was about to put the balls back in his bag, but he met Ling Xiaolu's disappointed face.

Ling Xiaolu: Huh?Not for me to eat...

His heart was written on his face, Ji Meng's hand was hanging in the middle, neither receiving nor giving.

"Ahem," Zhenjiu reminded him, "I promise not to use the props first."

"..." Ji Meng could only take back the ball with a hard heart. This soul-bound ball also has a usage rule, that is, it can only be taken by bound pets.He just left it outside for a while, Xiao Lubi, Lei Lulu, Squirrel, Fat Chirp... the whole family came here following the smell, guarding the door ready to move.

Before Chang Huanxi arrived, he heard the voice first: "Brother! Are you done?"

He broke in and was startled by the people in the room: "There are so many people? Why don't you call me to play mahjong?"

Crowd:  …

He remembered that Ling was still waiting outside, so he greeted Ji Meng: "Hey, let Ling come in first."

"What are you doing?" Ji Meng frowned, and gave Ling Yi a temporary access right, but Chang Huanxi was dissatisfied.

"Give me a permanent permission, look how stingy you are."

"What the hell are you here for?"

"Celebrate! I even called everyone here."

Ji Meng didn't understand: "What are you celebrating?"

Chang Huanxi took a cursory look at the people present, and could tell that none of them were particularly happy. This mahjong game might be Ji Meng's only winner of the three.

He can understand that the other two people are upset, why does Brother Xiaolu look so slumped?

Chang Huanxi secretly elbowed Ji Meng: "Hey, did you succeed?"

"Don't play charades."

"Confession?"

Ji Meng was puzzled: "What confession?"

"..." Chang Huanxi's voice rose in anxiety, "Didn't you go online to confess your love?"

Everyone present heard it, and Ji Meng blushed furiously: "What nonsense! If you talk nonsense again, get out of my house!"

"What did you say? You didn't confess?!"

Chang Huanxi hated that iron cannot be made into steel, so she choked out a sentence for a long time: "I love you!"

He has pushed the front atmosphere to the extreme, only the last sentence is needed, this person can talk about it, is there hope for him to change his surname!

Is it so difficult to say "I love you" when we meet directly to bind people?Even if you can't say "I love you", it's okay to say "Damn it"!

Ji Qing brought Chu Ya to visit, but these two people had the authority to enter the house directly.

"Chang Huanxi said that there is a happy event for us to celebrate," Ji Qing looked at the people in the room as if there was no happy event, "What happy event?"

"Sister, don't ask, I'm Ji Huanxi from today on."

"Huh? I don't mind having an extra brother."

"Believe me, it will definitely raise your brother's average IQ. If you don't believe me, ask your real brother."

"Xiao Meng?"

"No, what happened to me?"

Ji Meng couldn't figure it out, he had just won a beautiful battle, and at this moment he was supposed to walk around the valley three times proudly with his head held high, how could Chang Huanxi say he was defeated? cockfighting?

Chu Ya's mind turned quickly: "The confession failed?"

"No confession!"

After speaking, he quickly glanced at Ling Xiaolu, but the other party seemed to be hit hard because he didn't eat the meatballs, and he didn't pay attention here.

Zhenjiu gloated: "He just made 500 million yuan, so don't remind him that he lost [-] million yuan."

Ji Meng lowered his face: "Are you arguing with Li for two hundred and five?"

Li Zheng stood up: "I'm leaving."

"Don't go, my God," Chang Huanxi kept him, "It's rare that there are so many people, we are going to have a party."

"Who said there was going to be a party?" Ji Meng was annoyed, this is still his house!

"Beep——" the sound was harsh, Ling blew the flute beside him, and when the paper roll flew out, the tip hit Ji Meng's face.

Chang Huanxi suddenly remembered the follow-up arrangement he had made in advance, and hurriedly winked at zero.It's a pity that the other party didn't know how to be flexible, and didn't see the signal from Chang Huanxi, so they still proceeded according to the original plan.

"Congratulations for getting out of the order." Ling raised his hand expressionlessly, and the confetti fell down like snowflakes, falling on Ji Meng's head and body.

Ji Meng: "..."

Chang Huanxi turned her head and whistled, what happened?It has nothing to do with him.

Outside the gate, 411 couldn't get in, so they shouted anxiously: "His Royal Highness, I am also a member of the family, let me in too!"

Ji Meng let the person in with a cold face, 411 was ecstatic.

"Although there are as many as four Shangyues in our family, this is the first time I have the honor to visit Shangyue's house..." His eyes met Shang Zhenjiu's golden name, "Oh day?"

Zhenjiu: Oh.

411 crouched in the corner and wept.

"I thought I had become the trend of the times, why did the times abandon me again, woo woo woo..."

"Did you buy a new ring?" Ji Qing asked Zhenjiu.

Zhenjiu smiled but said, "I bought it for a long time, miss."

"Thanks a lot."

"It's a pity that I haven't got a fan name after buying it for so long," Zhenjiu half-jokingly said, "The system doesn't include any distribution."

"This is really difficult," Ji Qing also joked, "Why don't I apply to the AI ​​research and development department to develop a smart pet for you."

Not far away, Ji Meng shook his body and looked over slowly.

Sure enough, his sister also knew that the company had launched this business, why didn't anyone tell him earlier?

He used to be the only one in Ji Meng's house, but since Daling Xiaolu moved in, there have been more and more guests coming and going. Today, almost all the main members of the family are present, which can be described as a mess.

When Ji Meng managed to look up from a pile of unknown pets and looked for Ling Xiaolu's figure, he couldn't find it anyway.

Ling Xiaolu hid in the yard by himself, and things started to go haywire from the moment he confessed to Ji Meng. He really should seriously consider those three philosophical questions.

There was a bouncing figure in the garden. Fawn was wearing a small red cape today, as cute as ever.

It stretched its arms and legs, muttering something, Ling Xiaolu leaned on the railing with his chin leaning on it, enjoying himself.

Unexpectedly, Xiaolubi can still dance, and he deserves to have his genes.

But this dance looks a bit strange, is it familiar?

Ling Xiaolu looked at it for a while, but couldn't laugh anymore.Isn't this the dance that Lei Lulu danced in circles and clapping belly? When did Xiao Lubi learn to dance with Lei Lulu?

The difference is that Leilulu sings "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Ling Xiaolu felt ashamed that his son could dance such a childish dance.

"You are here."

Ling Xiaolu immediately got up and turned around when he heard this voice: "Sister."

"Why don't you go play with everyone?"

Chang Huanxi tricked everyone into playing Werewolf, and Ji Qing was the first to be sacrificed.

Can Ling Xiaolu say that he is thinking about philosophical issues?

"It's nothing, I want to be alone."

Ji Qing didn't ask any further questions, and stood beside him behind the railing, watching the little deer dancing and dancing thoughtfully.

"Xinshan has a lot of games, and there are many more popular games than this one. "Elf Contract" can only be regarded as a moderately popular game. Many players think that it is very naive to treat babies as the theme of a game. thing."

"Does my sister feel the same way?"

"If I felt the same way, I wouldn't be here."

"Oh..." Ling Xiaolu realized that his question was a bit silly.

"But I don't care which one to play, unlike Xiaomeng."

"Does Ji Meng like "Elf Contract" very much?"

"I'll show you something."

Ji Qing threw out a holographic photo album, and Ling Xiaolu flicked the pages. The first one was a drawing of a child. It was an unknown animal with pointed ears, round belly, and short limbs.

"what is this?"

"Xiaomeng's painting. He didn't have many friends when he was young, and his parents were busy with work, so they gave him a lot of companion AI pets to play with. It should be said that he grew up with these babies since he was a child."

No wonder, Ling Xiaolu thought, he hasn't learned how to make friends until now.

"The stick figures you see are all drawn by him, the babies in his imagination. Later, the company decided to develop an online game with the theme of pet fighting, and openly solicited setting drawings. He was very happy to submit the entire album to participate. Then I was selected." Ji Qing smiled, "Xiao Meng should be the youngest non-staff original artist in the "Elf Contract" project team."

"Wait," Ling Xiaolu pointed at the unidentified animal on the screen, "Could this be Leilulu?"

Ji Qing nodded.

Ling Xiaolu: "..."

The huge difference before and after the beauty, how Lei Lulu evolved from these childish strokes, Ling Xiaolu respects Xinshan Art in awe.

"I still don't know one thing. How did the judges of that competition pick this painting out of so many entries?"

"Oh," Ji Qing didn't take it seriously, "Xiao Meng used the manuscript submitted under his original name."

Ling Xiaolu: ... Isn't this the painted version of "My Mayor's Father"?

Ling Xiaolu turned to the next one, round and round, with a big tail, holding a chestnut in his hand: "Uh, squirrel?"

"Ah."

The next one is easier to recognize: "It's Fat Chirp!"

"Exactly."

Ling Xiaolu saw all the animals in Ji Meng's house in the photo album, and some creatures that he didn't have in his house and couldn't tell what they were at all. He was surprised that Ji Meng had painted so many.What is even more surprising is that after so many paintings, the painting skills have not improved much.

"Now you know why Xiaomeng has a soft spot for "Elf Contract", right? Because this is the world that made his childhood dreams come true."

Ling Xiaolu also wanted to have such a strong family strength. When he was young, whatever he fantasized about, the family would make it real for him.

The drawing on the last page looks different from the previous ones. There are no horns, strange ears, or tails, and the various structures look like people.

"Is this, is it a person?"

Ji Qing took a look: "It should be."

"Isn't he painting all babies? Why did someone suddenly appear?"

Ji Qing's eyes wandered back to the courtyard.

"Maybe Xiaomeng also thought that when he was a child, there would be a human child like him among the babies who accompanied him."
