A Race to (Be) The Top

With a brand new green name on his back, Ling Xiaolu recognized Chang Huanxi in the crowd, and walked towards him without thinking.

"It's me, I've built the account."

His appearance remained intact, so he wasn't afraid that Chang Huanxi wouldn't recognize him.

Chang Huanxi was obviously stunned for a moment, this confused expression made his bread face look even more ridiculous.

"Xiaolu, how do you know it's me?"

He only made an appointment with Ling Xiaolu to wait for him in Xinshou Village, but he remembered it after going online. He forgot to say that he had plastic surgery, and he forgot to tell the other party's ID. Should not know".

However, Ling Xiaolu was able to recognize him accurately at a glance among the dozen or so players present, which really surprised Chang Huanxi.

Ling Xiaolu got stuck: "I, this..."

He tried his best to find an excuse: "I guess, because the word 'Ji' is very special, and this name suits you very well."

"Really?" Chang Huanxi believed it as soon as she heard it, without any suspicion, "I think so too!"

Ling Xiaolu was glad that he patched well, and that he was Chang Huanxi. If this were his master, the road might already be under his feet.

Chang Huanxi: "My appearance doesn't scare you, does it?"

Ling Xiaolu is embarrassed to say that he has long been used to looking at the bread face, but Chang Huanxi's three-dimensional face that is slightly flirtatious, he is not particularly used to it.

"No, he's very individual, and he's more recognizable than the stereotypically handsome guy in the game..." Licking the dog did everything for Licking.

"Sight!" Chang Huanxi patted him on the shoulder excitedly, "Do you want to have one too? I'll sponsor you!"

"...There's no need for that." Ling Xiaolu declined with the corners of his lips pulled. He admired Chang Huanxi's eclecticism, but it didn't mean he also had the courage to run around with such a face.

"It's okay, whichever one you like in the mall, just send it to me for payment."

Chang Huanxi's rich and powerful style still can't be changed, Ling Xiaolu knows his character well, knows that he is just bold and doesn't care about money, if it were someone else, he would think that he is showing off his wealth.

The two exchanged friends, Ling Xiaolu deliberately pretended to be a novice, and had to be taught by Chang Huanxi to know how to operate gestures.

"Wait a little longer, don't you mind?" Chang Huanxi asked.

Ling Xiaolu wondered: "Who are you waiting for? Is there anyone else coming?"

"Well, a girl I met not long ago is also from our school. She heard that I was playing this game, so she insisted on coming to experience it."

Chang Huanxi looked impatiently towards the birth point: "Girls are slow in creating accounts, and it might take hours to pinch their faces."

He also makes games at home, so he is very aware of the spending habits of female players.

"Does she know what you look like now?"

"I forgot to say."

"What about the name?"

Chang Huanxi said awkwardly: "Maybe she is as smart as you, so you can recognize her at a glance?"

While talking, someone called Chang Huanxi's name loudly.

"Chang Huanxi—where are you? Chang Huanxi? Chang—"

"This, this, this." Chang Huanxi greeted her with her six-month pregnant belly, which shocked the girl.

"Who are you?"

"Are you Sissy? I'm Chang Huanxi."

The other party was obviously frightened by the ugly face in front of him: "You, you, are you Chang Huanxi?"

"Hush——" Chang Huanxi looked around, and many people were looking in their direction, lowering his voice, "In the game, don't always call me by my real name."

"But, your face..."

Chang Huanxi touched her chubby face: "What's the matter? Is it out of character? Xiaolu just praised me."

"..." Ling Xiaolu, who was inexplicably stared at by the girl, really wanted to defend his aesthetics, he was really not what she imagined.

Sissy showed disgust on her face: "Why do you make yourself so ugly? You look like this, uh..."

The reason why she clamored to play together was to create a chance to get along with Chang Huanxi.

However, facing such an indescribable face, Qianqian could only try her best to hypnotize herself with Chang Huanxi's real appearance.

"By the way, where is your human battle pet? I'm curious, let me meet, okay?"

Ling Xiaolu actually wanted to ask this question a long time ago. Chang Huanxi and Ling have always been inseparable in the game. Could it be that Chang Huanxi deliberately sent people away in order to pick up the girl?

"He, he'll be here soon."

Chang Huanxi glanced at him and said that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived: "Here we come."

A tall and familiar figure walked straight towards the three of them, but what surprised Ling Xiaolu was the name on that person's head.

"……one?"

Chang Huanxi greeted freely: "A Ling, you are here, come quickly, and introduce you to my two new alumni. This is brother Xiaolu, and she is Sissy."

Ling Xiaolu was so suffocated that he was about to explode, but he couldn't ask, so he could only pretend to nod and say hello like Qianqian: "Nice to meet you."

Chang Huanxi continued: "He is my bound fan name. You can call him A Ling A Yi. Although his current ID is One, he was called Zero before. This is his new account. He just changed his name. The job, uh, is quite special, after testing one account, it will be replaced by another one."

Sissy was very excited: "Chang Huanxi said that you are very good at pinching your face. You look like an intelligent human being in a movie. Can you teach me?"

Yiyang looked at her, her cold expression was in stark contrast to her excitement: "There are many default models in the mall, if you are not good at it, you can directly recharge and buy it."

His attitude made Sissy a little confused, and she tugged on Chang Huanxi's sleeve in private: "You...? Is your binding a little too polite?"

"It's normal, after all, he is..." Chang Huanxi paused, "He's in the service industry."

He quickly passed vaguely: "Go, I will take you to Ji Meng's house."

Qianqian's eyes lit up: "Are you talking about that Ji Meng? Ji Meng from Xinshan?"

"you recognize?"

"I met once, it's..."

"I ignored you when I greeted you, didn't you?" Chang Huanxi took it for granted, "It's not the same, you can tell with your toes, that's what he looks like."

Ling Xiaolu thought that he would never have the chance to stand outside the door of this familiar building, and the spring breeze from Dongye was blowing in his face, but the reality made him feel the wonder of fate.

Chang Huanxi only stepped forward with one foot, then backed out, and rang the doorbell frantically, until Ji Meng, who had an unhappy expression, called out.

"Brother, give them some access rights, otherwise I am the only one who can get in."

When Ji Meng saw a group of people outside the door, he looked like he had seen a ghost: "Why are there so many people?"

Chang Huanxi was not surprised: "Oh yes, this is Ling, he changed his number. You know Xiaolu, this girl I mentioned to you...is not the one you think! Don't say it!"

Sissy obediently performed a girlish salute between a nod and a bow: "Hello."

Ji Meng frowned, based on what Ling Xiaolu knew about him, this expression showed that he was upset.

Ji Meng is very resistant to strangers. If the stranger is of the opposite sex, the coefficient of resistance will be multiplied by two.

"Why don't you take them to your house? Obviously you have a house yourself."

"Didn't I want your house to be more lively? Since..." He omitted it wisely, "Your place has become deserted and deserted again."

"No need." Ji Meng bluntly refused.

Chang Huanxi also said that he was joking: "What are you doing? Many friends have multiple paths, don't you think so? Xiaolu?"

Ling Xiaolu was suddenly cueed, and he didn't know which side to stand on: "I'm free, I can go anywhere."

Cici pinched her fingers coyly: "If it's inconvenient..."

While talking, she kept peeking at Ji Meng from the corner of her eyes, trying to show her reasonable appearance.

With a sullen face, Ji Meng raised his hand and clicked a few times on the invisible void panel, and Ling Xiaolu received a system notification that he was allowed to visit.

Chang Huanxi: "That's about the same."

Ji Meng continued to operate expressionlessly, dragging Chang Huanxi out of the list of allowed visitors.

Chang Huanxi:? ? ?

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Take your friends wherever you like, and let me be quiet."

"Hey, you bastard!"

Qianqian hurriedly tugged on Chang Huanxi's arm. She didn't want to be disliked by the young owner of the game company on the first day she went online.

"Since it's inconvenient for him, it's the same to go to your house. I want to go to your house to see, okay?"

"Okay," Chang Huanxi agreed, "Anyway, there's nothing to see in his house. Ling, let's go."

Ling Xiaolu pointed at himself: "Then I..."

"Don't pay attention to him, let him play with the baby alone."

Ji Meng snorted, turned around and gave him a back view, naturally he didn't see Chang Huanxi making a face behind his back.

"Walk around, go to my house, my house is much bigger than this, there are many fun things, and there is a swimming pool."

Ling Xiaolu watched Ji Meng's back disappear into the door, and chose betrayal very unmeaningly.

"Sorry, I'm a little curious, I want to go in and have a look, and I'll look for you later, okay?"

Chang Huanxi thought of Ji Meng's coquettish operation, he was not surprised at all when he canceled his access authority, but it was strange for him to give Ling Xiaolu the authority.

With Ji Meng's personality, it is absolutely impossible for him to say such a thing as inviting someone to come in and sit down.And Ji Meng's performance clearly extended an invitation to Ling Xiaolu.

"Okay, okay, go and see that bastard, don't let him stay alone and shut himself up."

After speaking, he clasped Ling Xiaolu's wrist nervously: "But listen to me, there is a room on the second floor, you must not enter it, or that guy will turn against you."

Ling Xiaolu vaguely guessed which room it was, but he couldn't say clearly.

"I must be careful not to wander around."

Sissy's eyes were envious and sour. Her family has a cooperative relationship with Net Zero, and she is roughly half of the game circle.

It is a well-known fact that Ji Meng has a bad temper, and it is not known which aspect of Ling Xiaolu's talent can make such a Ji Meng look up to him, even Chang Huanxi was kicked out, but let him in alone.

"Then we'll see you later." She said with some reluctance, but she didn't know who she was.

Ling Xiaolu waved goodbye to the three of them, and when he entered the door, he saw Ji Meng feeding his squirrel.

Ling Xiaolu tilted his head in confusion, could it be his illusion?The squirrel seemed to be thinner than the previous two days.

It has always been greedy, but now it also looks listless in the face of food.

The house was still the same house, but the atmosphere in the house was not a little bit different from that of Buckby.

"...I came in?"

Ling Xiaolu tried to make some noise to interrupt Ji Meng's distraction.

Ji Meng glanced lightly: "Why didn't you play with them?"

"I..." Ling Xiaolu rubbed the back of his head, "I'm curious, can I come in for a walk?"

Ji Meng withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and the focus of his gaze was unclear: "You can do whatever you want."

Ling Xiaolu nodded with a dry smile, and slipped along the wall into the yard.

He has lived here for so long that he can figure out how to get there with his eyes closed.However, when he searched carefully inside and out, he finally had to admit a cruel fact——

——The little deer is gone.

Ling Xiaolu felt sorry for Ji Meng, he lost both of them at the same time, how could he bear it.

If I knew it was like this, it would be better to choose the little prince, at least I could leave some memories between the two of them.

Now only Lei Lulu is by Ji Meng's side, just as he was thinking, Lei Lulu passed by without looking sideways, and was stingy to give him a look, as if it was just a tree stump sticking there.

This is not the Leilulu he knew, Ling Xiaolu raised his chin at it: "Puts, puffs, puffs."

Lei Lulu glanced at him indifferently, as if he was just a stump that could speak human words, and then continued to walk his own way expressionlessly.

Ling Xiaolu's eyebrows drooped.This Leilulu seemed to be possessed by Ji Meng, and he carried a thick wall to isolate him from the outside world.

He carefully looked around and made sure that Ji Meng was not around.

"Ah Ray, Ray, Ray—"

When Leilulu heard the familiar movement behind him, he turned around hesitantly, and saw the new stranger swaying his limbs and doing a funny dance.

"Ah thunder, thunder, thunder—" He raised his hands to the left.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

"Ah Lei Lei—" buttocks twisted to the left

"Ah lulu—" buttocks twisted to the right.

Turned around and patted his stomach: "Thunder ah ah ah ah ah!"

Leilulu: "..."

Ling Xiaolu maintained the last movement, looked at Lei Lulu with a sluggish expression with a smile, and squeezed his eyes: "Do you still remember this?"

Leilulu's sluggish expression slowly changed, its eyes became round, and tears rolled in their sockets.

"Lei Lulu?"

Lei Lulu flew over almost the moment he opened his mouth.

"Ah ha ha--"

Ling Xiaolu grinningly opened his arms to catch it, and was almost knocked down by its huge impact force.

Lei Lulu, who threw herself into Ling Xiaolu's arms, cried out with a "wow", as if she had been separated for many days and finally found her mother's baby.

"Hey, don't cry, don't cry."

Ling Xiaolu hugged it gently in his arms, and patted his back to comfort it.

Although the contract stipulates that he is not allowed to reveal his identity to anyone, Lei Lulu is not a human being, so he should not be considered a breach of the contract.

After feeding the squirrel, he came out to look for Lei Lulu, and Ji Meng, who accidentally bumped into this scene, looked very surprised.

He is too familiar with Leilulu, although it is usually greedy and mischievous, but it is also not easy to show kindness to strangers, which makes the scene in front of it seem unimaginable.

"Is he so nice to you?"

When Lei Lulu heard his master's voice, he immediately slid off Ling Xiaolu and ran to Ji Meng's side, grabbing his trousers with his short hand, and pointing at Ling Xiaolu desperately with his other short hand.

"What do you mean?"

Ji Meng couldn't understand the situation more and more, Lei Lulu anxiously put his short hand to his mouth, performed a backflip, then repeated these two actions again, and then continued to frantically point at Ling Xiaolu.

Ji Meng was at a loss, but Ling Xiaolu recognized it, and couldn't help laughing. Isn't this his signature move - invisibility plus "I'm going"?

Unexpectedly, Lei Lulu learned it and imitated it so well that he almost laughed out loud.

Ji Meng couldn't be happy, Lei Lulu's performance was too abnormal.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Lei Lulu stamped his short legs on the ground in a hurry, and shouted: "Ah!"

"Your pet is so cute." Ling Xiaolu couldn't help boasting.

Ji Meng thought it was going crazy: "It's not like this usually."

No matter how many times Lei Lulu turned somersaults, the master didn't understand, so he left Ji Meng angrily, and wanted to leave here with Ling Xiaolu.

Ling Xiaolu was pulled by it, forced to stay away from Ji Meng, and turned his head to give him an apologetic gesture.

In fact, it should be Ji Meng who should be sorry, he doesn't know what happened to Leilulu, he has never seen it like this.

Ji Meng looked at the pet food in his hand in confusion, it was the first time that Lei Lulu, who usually regarded food as his life, turned his back on the food today.

Ling Xiaolu was obediently pulled by Lei Lulu to a familiar door on the second floor. Lei Lulu looked up for a while with a sad expression, then lowered his head in frustration.

Of course Ling Xiaolu knew what it was thinking, he patted Leilulu's head apologetically.

He knew that his sudden disappearance would make many people sad, but he didn't expect the pets in this game to have the same sincere feelings.

Ling Xiaolu quietly pushed open the door in front of him, and the small toys he collected in the game were quietly displayed in the room.

Perhaps it was because he didn't bring these things with him, but left them in Ji Meng's house, so they were not destroyed along with Lubi's account.

Ling Xiaolu looked at them one by one with complicated emotions. He could explain the origin of each item clearly. When, where, and with whom did he get it, and in what mood did he treasure it here? , this is probably the only memory Deerby left to this world.

Lei Lulu ran over, holding a photo in his hand, looking up at Ling Xiaolu expectantly.

Ling Xiaolu bent down, even though there was only Lei Lulu himself in the photo, he still recognized the vacant other half at a glance, where Xiao Lubi should have been.

Even this photo was taken by him himself for the two of them.

"Sorry, there's probably no way I could...bring it back."

Lei Lulu's expectations fell through, and he was depressed, holding the photo in a daze.

Ling Xiaolu looked away sadly, and the nearest display came into view, which was the reward he got when he did the mission with Ji Meng for the first time - the statue of the unknown guard.

Ling Xiaolu's fingertips slid gently across the transparent display stand, and the statue's description popped up, "Unspeakable Love", which is simply a portrayal of Ling Xiaolu's current mood.

"What are you doing?"

A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind, Ling Xiaolu was frightened suddenly, flicked his fingers off the display stand, turned around, and Ji Meng stood at the door with a serious face.

"Who let you in?"
