The Sabbath

Although I saw Ronggui's face as early as when Purda performed the final operation on Ronggui, the face of the thin man with closed eyes seen at that time is the same as now, with plump skin and full of life The feeling of the breath face is completely different.

What's more, this face soon became more vivid——

"Hey!?" Ronggui jumped up: "Hey hey?! I'm... Maybe I didn't go in?"

Well, Ganqing Ronggui thought he was in the same place~

"No, this place is not home..." He quickly looked around, and saw a woman in front of him wearing a "futuristic" costume in his opinion, but he was not in a hurry to greet her, but Looking around for Xiaomei.

"I'm here." Xiaomei hurriedly said.

"Ah? Ah!" The pronunciation is exactly the same, but because of the different intonation, the meaning expressed is completely different: "Xiaomei, how did you become like this!?"

With such a face, even the stunned expression is more pleasing than others, Ronggui looked at Xiaomei next to him in surprise:

"Xiaomei, you look like..."

"Like a white egg!"

After observing for a while, Ronggui expressed his conclusion.

After Ronggui appeared, Xiaomei's body became a little firmer, but only "slightly".

His body is still incorporeal, still a white mist, but the traces of electric light have subsided, and it is more solid than before, his body now looks more like a piece of light, a piece of staring light, a bit like round.

From a distance, it looks like the holy light behind the icon——that's what the female receptionist originally thought.

However, as soon as Ronggui uttered the adjective "white egg", all the sacred imaginations in her mind suddenly disappeared, and there was only a big white egg left in her mind.

Uh... Eggs are also eaten in Sky City. As the earliest food discovered by human beings with great nutritional value, this kind of food has not been lost at all, and there are more varieties.

"It's like this. When your brainwaves are connected to the electric waves in the system, the system will read the information about yourself in your brainwaves, and automatically generate an image representing yourself in the system."

"Because we look in the mirror every day and our self-awareness far exceeds that of other images, the self-image generated by most people in the system is similar to the real self in reality."

"Of course, there are also very few people whose inner self is completely different from the actual self, and there will be quite a few situations where the system image and even gender are completely different from reality."

"Thank you." After the question was answered, Ronggui was very grateful, but when he turned his head to look at the woman who answered his question, he frowned: "But, who are you?"

"Sorry! I forgot to introduce you just now. I am the receptionist of the system No. 580 [-]. I am responsible for guiding the two new users to answer questions after entering the system." Finally re-entering the work status, the female staff playfully lifted her skirt with her hands , elegantly made an ancient salute to the handsome man Guihe... Baidan Mei.

"Although...ahem, both of you have completed the steps of establishing your own image in the system."

"This is the home of the two in the system, and it is also the warehouse of the two. When the two of you are tired in the virtual world outside, you can return here at any time. Items purchased in the virtual city and in the game will also be stored in this room by category. in the locker."

"Of course, the area of ​​the warehouse and home that comes with the system is limited. If you two want to have more space for activities or more storage space, you can purchase corresponding products in the system."

The receptionist said, looking at Xiaomei sympathetically, and then said: "Don't worry if the image you established at the beginning does not meet your expectations. There are a lot of beauty items to choose from in the game, and the price of the basic face is very cheap. And there are many kinds of…”

After providing Xiaomei with a solution, the receptionist continued to introduce: "Where you two entered the system, the so-called home is just such a room with only basic storage functions. Of course, the necessary browsing and retrieval functions of the computer are also available—"

As she spoke, she touched the desk with her finger, and two huge screens appeared on the desk.The screen on the left is blank, and the screen on the right...

Ronggui saw that it was his own personal page!

"You can run your own personal homepage here, as well as perform other computer functions."

"And if you want to leave the room and go to the virtual world to communicate with other people..."

The receptionist stretched out his hand to touch the wall in front of the two, and the original white wall suddenly disappeared, replaced by a corridor.

The corridor is not very deep, there are two doors on the left, two on the right, and then one more door at the end of the corridor.

Ronggui noticed that the two doors on the left were white, while the door on the right was silver, and the door at the end was gold.

"The first door on the left leads to a virtual lobby where you can interact with other netizens."

"The second door on the left is the free game area. There are currently 130 free games for you to choose from."

"And the silver door on the right—" the receptionist paused: "That's the door for paid games."

"If you have a key, you can insert the key, open the door, and you can enter the corresponding pay game."

"Key?" Ronggui was stunned for a moment. He quickly thought of the two golden cards that Yalando gave him. Before they entered the game compartment, Xiaomei had already inserted a card into the card slot of his game compartment. But the cards are inserted in the game compartment!And they are in the game now, where can they find that card?Besides, it's a card, not a key...

Ronggui was thinking in a mess, his fingers touched something in his pocket, he paused, and took out something from his pocket, this is——

"That's right, it seems that you have already purchased the game key in advance." The female receptionist said with a smile.

Ronggui opened his palm, and at this moment, what stayed in his palm was a golden key.

"Later, you can use the keys to open the silver door. Each key corresponds to an account, so you two need to use a key to open a door..."

"So that's how it is." Nodding his head, Ronggui understood a little bit, but——

"What's behind that golden door?" He was a little concerned about the door at the end of the corridor.

The receptionist smiled: "It stands for "unknown"~"

"The more games you two buy, the longer the corridor will be, and the number of doors will automatically increase, and the door at the end is a specific door that requires the corresponding key to open."

"The world of the Internet is huge. My introduction can only help the two of you avoid some minor troubles when you enter this world. Next, you need to explore and research on your own."

"Nice to meet you two, I wish you a happy time in the virtual world!"

After completing her reception tasks, the female receptionist retired, her body turned into light in the room, and when light was a child, there were two more exquisitely packaged gift boxes on the ground.

On the outside of the gift box, there is a line of "Little Gift Package for Novices".

Ronggui: =-=

Opening one of the boxes, Ronggui found a banknote inside, with only the words "500 tokens" written on it, and nothing else.

He wanted to open another one, but found that the gift ribbon, which was easy to untie before, could not be untied this time anyway. Xiaomei took the gift box from his hand, and this time, the box was easily opened again.

It seems that everyone has only one chance to open the box - Rong Gui thought.

What Ronggui dismantled was ordinary, but what Xiaomei dismantled was difficult to describe.

The box was on one side of Baidan Mei, and on the other side of Baidan Mei was a pair of...pants.

Almost at the moment when Xiaomei took the things out, Ronggui saw a line of words slowly appearing on the waistband of the pair of pants: "Shorts that will never be patronized by thieves (Note: 3A-level equipment)"

It sounds very arrogant, angry, coaxing, coaxing!

Ronggui looked at Xiaomei enviously, Xiaomei handed the shorts to Ronggui at that time, but unfortunately, this is binding equipment, no matter how he handed it over, the shorts stuck to his hands, and they just couldn't fall off.

In the end, Xiaomei could only ball it up, not knowing where to put it on her body.

Seeing Xiaomei like this, Ronggui was secretly happy, but he didn't enjoy it for too long. Soon, he noticed the mirror in the room, and then saw himself in the mirror——

"Oh my god! I've turned into my original appearance! It's unbelievable!" Dumb as Ronggui, he didn't realize that his image in the game was his original appearance until now.

It's not the dry and haggard look in the freezer due to years of freezing, but fresh and lively, just like him before he was put into the freezer, he was still a half-grown youth!

Because he is too narcissistic and loves to look in the mirror on weekdays, the "self" established by Ronggui in the system is almost exactly the same as the original real him, with almost no deviation! ! !

Look carefully, he is even wearing his favorite suit!

jeans!White T-shirt!There are also sneakers of well-known brands ← Of course, this pair of sneakers is something he has always wanted and never bought. Because he often looks at photos of sneakers, he subconsciously remembered the appearance of these shoes.

Oops!

It was only then that Ronggui understood what the receptionist meant when he said that "the image established in the system is generally what people perceive themselves in reality".

Because he looks in the mirror every day, he is like this in his heart, so he is still like this in the game.

But, in this case, Xiaomei...

Ronggui looked in Xiaomei's direction.

"Xiaomei, is your perception of yourself...an egg...?" Ronggui asked confusedly.

Xiaomei: ...

Ronggui always felt that Xiaomei in the white light glanced at him.

Then--

The "white egg" in front of him began to dissipate.

It was only then that he discovered that the so-called "white egg" was just too strong white light, and because the light was too solid, it looked like a solid body.

And when the light gradually dissipated, a figure appeared faintly inside.

For some reason, when Rong Gui realized that there was a figure there, he subconsciously held his breath.

That figure was thin and tall, not the robotic Xiaomei, nor the boyish Xiaomei he saw every day.

He is a little taller, and his shoulders are slightly thicker. He is wearing a thick, complicated and gorgeous platinum robe that he has never seen before. The wings protruding from the back are white and transparent, and when they are raised high, they have a metallic luster. .

The light dissipated a little more, and Ronggui could see the appearance of the people inside more clearly.

The collar of the complex robe blocked all of the man's exposed skin. The collar was high and directly covered the neck, so the man's exposed skin was only the part above the chin.

Fair to transparent face, slightly wider chin than when he was a teenager, thin lips, straight, golden-brown eyebrows, and under the eyebrows... the same eyes as the sky and the lake...

As if the ice that had been frozen for thousands of years was inside, the man looked at him through the light, looking at him seriously.

Although the appearance is a little different from usual, but...

How could Ronggui not recognize Xiaomei?

"Xiaomei!" Loudly calling out the name of the man in the white light, Ronggui rushed over.

Tightly, he hugged Xiaomei, and habitually touched the wings on her back with his palm.

"Why is it so hard? It's like metal..." Rong Guizheng said in amazement, the feathers under his palm suddenly softened, becoming a tactile sensation that he usually touches.

And when he and the man looked at each other, the ice in the other's eyes melted instantly.

Melted into water, melted into sky.

When the shadows of the black-haired young man in front of him were all over his eyes, those eyes even became a little warmer.

"Well, it's me." Ronggui heard Xiaomei say in a familiar voice.
