A Race to (Be) The Top

Ling Xiaolu swallowed nervously: "Drunk, drunk lying in the execution ground."

Linglong had a strong urge to touch his forehead, but he didn't dare, for fear of revealing his flaws.

"...Drunk lying on the battlefield?"

"Yes! That's the name!"

"I haven't seen any novice learn this kind of skill as soon as they come."

"Then congratulations on seeing you now."

"Ok?"

"No, I mean... I didn't know what skill to learn, so I ordered one at random. I didn't expect that this skill can only be used to run around, and it would cost money to learn it again. What a trap!"

Ling Xiaolu forcefully explained, Li Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and Ling Xiaolu didn't know how much he believed.

"Why are you running?"

"You also saw that man chasing me just now, but I couldn't beat him, so I had to run."

"You are a newcomer, why did he chase you?"

Ling Xiaolu was speechless: "Don't ask me about this, ask him."

Li Zheng was silent, Ling Xiaolu was timid, afraid that he would see something.

"Then what," he pointed at his feet cautiously, "this, can you untie it for me? My feet feel numb after being bound for a long time."

Li Zheng raised his hand slowly, Ling Xiaolu thought that for such a person who came out of Xianxia novels, his custom-made gestures must also be extraordinary, staring at him intently.

However, Li Zheng didn't break the curse for him, but stretched his fingers to the back of Ling Xiaolu's neck, and lightly touched the suspicious place just now.

Even though the temperature of his fingertips was very low, Ling Xiaolu was suddenly covered in cold sweat.

Just now the collar was triggered and hidden, and now Ling Xiaolu can only pray that the time has not passed 15 minutes.

As expected, Li Zheng didn't touch anything, his eyes darkened in an obscure manner.

Ling Xiaolu felt Li Zheng's fingers leave the back of his neck, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Now you can..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Zheng grabbed his left wrist with his retracted hand, and flipped it up quickly, revealing the game bracelet that had already been disguised.

Ling Xiaolu: ...

How terribly cautious this man is!

"Uh, I just bought it, what's the problem? Although it's not as good as yours, it's cheaper than yours." Ling Xiaolu told the truth, but it was also nonsense.

Seeing that Ling Xiaolu was not the person he was looking for, Li Zheng let go of his hand somewhat disappointed.

"I got the wrong person."

"No, nothing, nothing."

With a slight movement of Li Zheng's fingers, the vine wrapped around Ling Xiaolu's ankle was quickly pulled away, the whole plant sank into the ground, and then came out from Li Zheng's feet.Ling Xiaolu looked down and saw that it was a sunflower-shaped plant with seven or eight thorny tentacles. At this time, it was waving its tentacles socially. I don't know if it was an intelligent or default action. Lulu" stuck out his long tongue.

Ling Xiaolu: ...This doesn't match your masculinity!

Li Zheng called out the radar and found that the signal had disappeared. At the same time, Ling Xiaolu also received a private text chat from Ling Long.

Linglong: Good news!The technical department has solved your problem in a surprise attack, and now the pet radar has completely failed to scan you!

It seems that Xinshan Company is still quite efficient, Ling Xiaolu thought optimistically, maybe the programmers work overtime, and the collars on their necks will be removed.

"I wasted your time."

Ling Xiaolu was in a good mood: "How come, it is my honor to get in touch with idols up close!"

Li Zheng is used to hearing such words, so naturally he doesn't think deeply about them. With a wave of his long sleeves, people and pets disappear in front of Ling Xiaolu in an instant.

"Crisis lifted!"

Ling Xiaolu, who escaped from the tiger's mouth, turned around triumphantly, but froze in place as if struck by lightning.

Citizen's husband, no, it's the domineering prince Ji Meng, pulling the corner of his signature mouth, and walking towards him aggressively.

Ling Long couldn't help but want to call for help at this moment: "You are too happy."

Just as Tu Dun had cooled down, Ling Xiaolu wanted to repeat the old trick: "I..."

Ji Meng held his claw in his right hand, and the lightning around his arm crackled: "Try another somersault, believe it or not, I'll chop you into coke!"

The word "go" was swallowed by Ling Xiaolu, he was very puzzled: "Don't you feel ashamed to keep staring at a cute newcomer like me when you go on an appointment?"

"It would be shameful for me to be run away by a rookie like you three times in a row." Ji Meng strode like a meteor, and he was in front of him in a blink of an eye, and now Ling Xiaolu couldn't fly.

"Mengxin, Mengxin," Ling Xiaolu corrected helplessly, "otherwise, it's fine to call him a novice. Show others some respect."

Ji Meng stood still at a distance where Ling Xiaolu could grab Ling Xiaolu's back collar if he turned somersaults: "Speak."

"say what?"

"..." Ji Meng was stopped by the question, "I don't know! Tell me!"

Ling Xiaolu: ...

I'm afraid it's not wise!

"The first time I went offline urgently was because... I was sick, I didn't feel well, and I went offline to buy medicine." Ling Xiaolu began to make up.

"Hmph." Ji Meng made a heavy nasal sound, scaring away all the reasons Ling Xiaolu was going to make up later.

"What about the second time? Why did you run away when you saw me?"

"The second time, the second time is because... I learned a new skill and wanted to try it out!"

"You go to the pet exchange to learn skills?"

Ling Xiaolu was so regretful that he wanted to cut off his tongue: "I learned the skills first, and then went to the pet exchange to see if there are any babies for sale. Who knows, I saw you as soon as I came out. Do you think we are destined?"

Ji Meng made a softer "hum" this time.

Seeing that he accepted it slowly, Ling Xiaolu became more confident when he lied: "The third time is even easier, you suddenly flew over with a big sword, anyone who sees the first reaction must want to run away .”

"If you don't run, why should I chase you?"

"You don't chase me, why should I run?"

The conversation stalled.

"You really have nothing to hide from me?" After a long stalemate, Ji Meng asked unwillingly.

"I'm a newbie, what can I hide from you?"

"What about Li Zheng? Why did Li Zheng get involved with you?"

"What do you mean... Pay attention to your quality! I just wanted to watch the excitement, but I didn't expect to meet him on the same pillar by chance. My idol is kind-hearted. Although I don't know you before, I saw you dignified and bullied me." The rookie saved me from your clutches."

Maybe it was because of the disastrous defeat just now, Ji Meng's expression was a little bit bad.

Ling Xiaolu is very good at observing words and expressions: "But don't be sad. After all, you are still a newcomer compared to him. It is not shameful to lose to him. Even though it is in front of many people, it is still live, wow, maybe all online Everyone saw it."

Ji Meng's complexion became darker: "Are you trying to comfort me?"

"I just want to tell you that it's not scary to lose, it's embarrassing to be surrounded by people."

"Do you want to die..."

"Look, look! It's done again! Do you think I can't run away when I see you?"

Ji Meng was hesitating between beating him up for lack of martial arts and feeling aggrieved if he didn't beat him, but at this moment he heard a shout from behind, "They are over there!"

Ling Xiaolu knew that his whereabouts had been discovered, and wanted to use the power of the crowd to get rid of the entanglement and bypass Ji Meng to probe, but was frightened by the dense crowd.

It was still Ji Meng who had experience in this kind of situation. Ling Xiaolu only heard a sharp whistle in his ear, and then he was picked up by his collar and placed on an unknown object.The thing flapped its wings twice, quickly rose into the sky, and accompanied by a long howl, it threw the chasing crowd far away on the ground.

It was the first time for Ling Xiaolu to go to the sky, but he felt that the huge object under him was shaking violently from side to side, and the wind was whistling in his ears, and he was afraid that he would fall and be smashed to pieces.He closed his eyes tightly, and held tightly to whatever he grabbed hold of.

After flying for a certain distance like this—of course it took a long time for Ling Xiaolu, the giant beast finally landed. Ji Meng turned his head to look at Ling Xiaolu who dared not move, and his mood improved a lot.

"Have enough hugs?"

Ling Xiaolu secretly opened one eye, and confirmed that he was no longer in the sky according to the surrounding environment. Only then did he realize that it was Ji Meng's waist that he was tightly hugging just now, and he hurriedly let go.

Ji Meng snorted, and jumped off the mount again like a chicken, Ling Xiaolu's feet were soft after landing, and he almost lost his footing.

Ji Meng saw that his face was pale, and he didn't seem to be pretending: "Are you afraid of heights? Have you never been on a spaceship?"

"Is your spaceship open?" Ling Xiaolu asked back.

"Not bad, I still have the strength to talk back."

Ling Xiaolu was very afraid that he would say something like "If you have the strength to retaliate, then fly again", so he immediately refrained from reciprocating.

He settled down, and only then did he have the energy to look carefully at Ji Meng's flying mount.This is a huge flying dragon with a huge belly. How such a big belly can fly is really a mystery.However, when he wanted to stay away from this person and look around, he found that he didn't know where Ji Meng had taken him.

In addition to a thick and towering giant tree behind him, in front of Ling Xiaolu is an endless grassland, on which there are several monsters with ferocious appearance.

"Be careful, there are all famous monsters here, and they like to actively attack Mengxin like you." The word "Mengxin" was specially emphasized by Ling Xiaolu, and now he was bitten by the vile Ji Meng. Heavy.

In fact, he didn't say that Ling Xiaolu also discovered it. The few monsters closest to him have been staring at this side since he landed, probably after he stepped out of the safe zone, they arrested him for "leveling". So there is no need to upgrade the monsters in the game?

Ling Xiaolu retreated subconsciously, leaning against the big tree: "You...why did you bring me to this kind of place?"

Ji Meng snorted lightly again, Ling Xiaolu was going to suspect that his pig spirit was reincarnated, and this pig spirit just happened to raise a fat dragon.At this moment, the dragon exhaled heavily from its nose, curling up black smoke, the pig spirit immediately shifted his attention to his beloved pet, took out something from his bag to feed it, and left Ling Xiaolu aside in the cold.

Fat Dragon flew away after eating, and the "Pikachu" that Ling Xiaolu had seen just now, who was crying by Li Zheng's snake, jumped out of nowhere, and grabbed Ji Meng's trousers expectantly.Ling Xiaolu vaguely saw a pattern: the standard for a local tyrant to raise a pet is to be round and fat!

"Are you hungry too?" Ji Meng spoke to the baby with an unreasonably gentle voice, "I'll feed you now."

Ling Xiaolu watched helplessly as this man sat on the ground and summoned a travel bag. His fat ball "weapon" (?) grabbed the edge of the bag, buried his head in it, and searched for it. After finding it, he took out the food with his short hands He came out and stuffed it into his mouth all at once, making his already round cheeks even rounder, his mouth chewed and chewed, and the residue splashed all over the process.Ling Xiaolu couldn't bear to look directly at this rude table manners, but the owner, Ji Meng, looked at it kindly and kindly, with a suspicious old mother smile on his face.

"Cough cough!"

Ling Xiaolu coughed to remind Mother Ji that there was still a living person here, but Ji Meng got it wrong: "Are you hungry too?"

"I..." Ling Xiaolu was about to ask him to take him back to the town, but Ji Meng handed him some food.

"Want to eat?"

Ling Xiaolu: ...

Not eating for nothing, he imitated Ji Meng and sat cross-legged beside him, angrily took it.What Ji Meng gave him was food made of simulated meatloaf. The skin was golden meringue, and the mouth was full of cheese flavor. Steaming.

"Is this really virtual food?" Ling Xiaolu expressed his amazement, "The taste is so natural, it doesn't have the taste of artificial food at all, and the freshest beef is nothing more than this. Moreover, the skin is so crispy, it's like it just came out of the oven. Just take it out."

"Of course, there are so many delicious things here that you can't eat them all in seven days and seven nights." Ji Meng replied with the pride of "this is my kitchen".

"Is there any more?" Ling Xiaolu reluctantly licked the leftovers from the corner of his mouth, Ji Meng hooked up all the gluttons in his stomach.Ji Meng was pinching a pale pink round ball with two fingers at the moment, playing with his beloved pet lying on his left knee, when he suddenly felt the weight on the other side, he turned his head and saw that Ling Xiaolu was approaching The face was startled.

Ling Xiaolu's gaze fell directly between his fingers, Ji Meng looked at him with great uncertainty, then at the meatball in his hand, then at him, then at the meatball, and confirmed that Ling Xiaolu was staring at him. The thing is that this thing is right.

Ling Xiaolu looked expectant, pointed at the balls, and pointed at himself.

Ji Meng raised it with difficulty: "Do you want to eat...this?"

Ling Xiaolu immediately nodded vigorously: "Is it possible?"

Ji Meng's expression was still confused, and he stretched out his hand hesitantly: "Yes... yes..."

As soon as Ling Xiaolu heard him say yes, he couldn't wait to go up and swallow it, and even put Ji Meng's fingers into his mouth, Ji Meng's expression instantly became weird.

"Hmmmmm..." Ling Xiaolu closed his eyes, raised his head, and showed an extremely intoxicated expression.What kind of rare delicacy is this in the world? It has already surpassed the pleasure that food can bring. The faint fragrance of cherry blossoms transmits sweetness to every molecule of the body through the taste buds until the body becomes lighter and lighter, floating to The sky, merged with the clouds.Ling Xiaolu couldn't help taking a deep breath, immersed in a sense of happiness and satisfaction.

On the other hand, Ji Meng was still staring blankly at his empty fingers, when Ling Xiaolu took the ball away from his hand, he still licked his fingertips.

"Ah, delicious——" Ling Xiaolu let out a heartfelt sigh for a long time. He buried his head on Ji Meng's right knee, rubbed his cheeks with difficulty, rubbed left and right, turned over and rubbed the back of his head suddenly, and rolled over again. go back.

"It's so delicious, how can there be such a delicious thing," Ling Xiaolu finally calmed down a bit, and asked with wide eyes, "What the hell is this?"

Ji Meng looked down at him with complicated expressions: "This is... a ball that increases loyalty for pets..."

Ling Xiaolu woke up in a jerk, and found that he was still pillowed on Ji Meng's lap, and quickly got up, belatedly realizing how out of control he was just now.He panicked, and yelled at Ji Meng on the ground incoherently: "Pet, then you, it's pet food, why didn't you say it earlier!"

"Because you look like you want to eat..."

"Then you can't feed me casually! You can refuse me! What if I get poisoned—ah!"

An electric spark shot up from the bottom of Ling Xiaolu's foot, which made him jump back a step in fright. Even so, he was still shocked, feeling a little phantom pain.

As soon as he lowered his head, Ji Meng's pet stared at him with hostility, his cheeks were bulging, and he was angry.

Ji Meng hurriedly took away the pet that caused the accident, and explained with a little embarrassment: "You robbed it of its rations, and it is a little angry."

"..." Ling Xiaolu was silent for a moment, then squatted down and cried loudly with a "wow".

His crying was fake, but his grievance was real: "Why am I so unlucky, I was chased and beaten by you on the first day I went online, and I was treated like a monkey by the crowd. You brought me to this kind of place and tricked me into eating dog food, Even your baby bullies me, I just want to play a game quietly I provoked someone, wow..."

Of course, the most aggrieved thing was that he couldn't talk about the collar. The more Ling Xiaolu thought about it, the more sad he became, and his fake crying was also a little bit real.

It was the first time that Ji Meng cried when he saw a boy crying, and he was a little flustered. Ling Xiaolu's accusations sounded so reasonable that he couldn't refute them, but he couldn't apologize, so he could only bite the bullet and speak fiercely. Ask back: "Then what do you want?"

Ling Xiaolu remained silent. After a while, he pretended to wipe his eyes and raised his chin: "You take me back to town."

"No."

Ling Xiaolu: ...

Ji Meng didn't know why he refused without thinking: "Change to another one."

"..." Ling Xiaolu was silent again, "Then I want to spank your Pikachu's ass."

"It's not Pikachu, it's Leilulu." Ji Meng called the baby out again, but hesitated a bit.Lei Lulu tightly grasped Ji Meng's wrist with his small short hands, tears rolled and rolled in his big round eyes, but not a single drop fell.Ling Xiaolu only took a peek and almost scolded, it's just an AI, why don't you be so dramatic!

"This one doesn't work either," Ji Meng made a gesture, and took the baby away again, "Change another one."

If Ling Xiaolu couldn't beat him, he would have done it long ago.What made him most angry was not that Ji Meng protected his shortcomings, but that Ji Meng actually took a photo before accepting favor!He has done novice missions, he recognizes that gesture!Who is this!

"Forget it, I'll go by myself." Ling Xiaolu will take a step forward, and several red famous monsters nearby look at him, and he shrinks back again.

Ji Meng stood up, patted the unnecessary soil on his body, and whistled. The black flying (fat) dragon flew over with its wings flapping, breathing hot air.

He reached out to grab Ling Xiaolu's back collar as usual, but the other party's neck shrank, and it was empty.Ji Meng's hand was suspended in the air for a long time, and finally changed his route, grabbed Ling Xiaolu's waist, put his arms around him and jumped onto the dragon's back.Of course, he still remembered that this guy was a person who was afraid of heights, so he kindly reminded him: "Hold tight."

After finishing speaking, Ji Meng realized that it was unnecessary, Ling Xiaolu hugged his waist tightly from the moment he left the ground, Ji Meng rubbed two hands on the dragon's neck, and his arms around his waist tightened accordingly .

Ji Meng turned his head, and the guy who had been avoiding him before was now sticking to his back, wishing he could stick even tighter.

He hesitated for a moment, leaned close to the mount's ear and gave an order.The giant dragon raised its head and exhaled a sniff of thick smoke, and ran towards the northwest direction "dongdongdong", kicking up dust all the way.This kind of flying mount was not originally designed for walking on land. The proportions of the body and legs are seriously uncoordinated. The short and thick legs support the huge body, and it wobbles while running, which looks very funny from a distance.The ground trembled under its feet, and the nearby monsters couldn't react in time, and were knocked away by its huge body and flew tens of meters away.
