Journey of a Thousand Miles

"really?"

"fake."

"Forget it, I still won't say it."

"..."

"It's not a very important matter." Chongchong said.

"There is nothing unimportant about bugs," said the mosquito.

"My day..." Shura suddenly broke out.

"What's wrong?" 33 asked concerned.

"I ate a bubble gum before, and I was biting it... I suddenly found that the bubble gum was gone..."

"Have you swallowed it?" Chongchong asked.

"I don't make it..." Shura posted an emoji of a small man squatting in a corner, "Suddenly...it's gone?!"

"Maybe you swallowed it agitatedly, and then stuck in your gut," said the mosquito.

"Hahahahahaha I feel sorry for you—" Qianli laughed.

"Fuck..." Shura kept repeating the picture of squatting in the corner.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with eating it, right?" 33 said.

"I can't die." Wu Jiu gave an authoritative answer.

"If I go to vomit now..." Shura continued to send messages, "Is there still time?"

"Maybe you were lucky and didn't stick to the intestines, but when you went to the toilet, you got stuck on the chrysanthemum." The mosquito said.

"..." Shura was speechless.

"Maybe just wrapped in shit, don't be so pessimistic." Qianli said.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha——" 33 laughed like crazy.

"That's it~" Mosquito said.

"Shit bag candy, very powerful." Chongchong said.

"Don't scare Shura," Wu Jiu said kindly, "Bubble gum is more dangerous to children."

The Spring Festival Gala has long since ended, and the roar of the fireworks has gradually faded away, but none of the six of them seem to be sleepy, and they are still chatting one after another, from the south of the sky to the north of the earth, and the topics are so irrelevant , the chatter is all about things that don’t matter, and even Chongchong, who is usually a taciturn person, has a good time talking. The news she sent this night is probably worse than what everyone has heard from her in the past half a year since they knew her. many.

Until the lights in the city were extinguished little by little, the noise was replaced by silence, passion was replaced by dreamland, and fatigue flooded into the brain, the six people said good night to each other at dawn when the sun was about to come out.

On the first day of the new year, Qianli fell asleep.On the second day of the Lunar New Year, take the time to clear as much as possible of the tasks to be done in the copy that will be played this week, and then go offline in advance to pack your luggage a little bit.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up. Qianli feels that his home is like the legendary family with nothing to do.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, when I went out in the morning, I received a text message saying that I had to check in two hours in advance. It was the first time for Qianli to fly on a plane. I didn’t understand anything, so I decided to follow the official instructions honestly and go two hours in advance. Two hours.

For the first time in my life, I have crossed such a long distance alone. I was at a loss at the airport, I felt a little nervous when I took off, I was a little surprised when I looked at the scenery outside the window, and I imagined what S City was like again and again. Friends... what is it like.

Imagine what the first sentence is going to say.

How to bloom the first smile.

Qianli just looked out of the window in a daze, the boundless white clouds are misty, the weather on the ground is still a bit gloomy, but the sun is shining brightly above thousands of miles.

On the way, I ate an airplane meal that was even worse than the noodles I cooked myself. The official reimbursement by LDM is in economy class, so it’s good to have something to eat.

More than two hours passed by in a seemingly long time, and when the thousand miles landed, he was already two thousand kilometers away.

As soon as Qianli got out of the airport, he wanted to curse.

I lean on lean on lean on, it's freezing to death!

It's not that he didn't read the weather forecast, and Wu Jiu also reminded everyone to keep warm. Qianli's equipment today is already the most cold-proof configuration for him. In previous years, he could survive the coldest winter with such clothes. Unexpectedly...

There is something called regional differences.

Qianli suppressed the urge to burst into tears in the cold wind. Today really experienced a lot of firsts in his life, such as the first time he realized what it feels like to be so cold that his teeth are chattering—I can’t control it at all, okay? It's hard to say.

Despite this, Qianli still struggled to find the subway station, and the moment he entered the warmer underground, he was moved to feel that he should still have a chance to reach his destination alive.

Wu Jiu was particularly prescient, and asked everyone if they needed him to pick them up at the airport in the second year of junior high school. "Doesn't your family need to pay New Year's greetings in the third day of junior high school?" Mosquito asked.

"I can push things about at home, S city is huge, I'm afraid you won't find your way when you come here for the first time." Wu Jiu said.

"Then go and pick up Shura." Qianli said.

"...Is there something called a taxi?" Shura said.

"We don't need to pick up the old man," Mosquito said. "It may be inconvenient for a girl like Chongchong. You can go pick up Chongchong. It's good to help with luggage."

This proposal is very reasonable, so everyone agreed on it, and there was the scene of Qianli now half dead in the subway.

As Wu Jiu said, during the Chinese New Year period, the city of S was empty, and there were not many people on the subway. Qianli sat comfortably all the way to the station. Take the steps of narrow escape.

No, it's more tragic than a wasteland dungeon...

The moment his body touched the cold air, Qianli almost turned around and went back.

Damn, he has never seen such a strong wind and waves, what is such a little cold!

A few minutes later, Qianli hid in a shopping mall.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry, so he had to slow down for a while, otherwise he might not see the sun tomorrow.

Although there is no sun today.

It took a while for the body to stop shaking, and I looked around boredly for a long time, and suddenly saw a huge signboard.

It is a video game city.

The sluggish spirit instantly revived on the spot.Alas, in the cold foreign land, he actually found the feeling of home!

Apart from anything else, go up to the top floor and enter the extremely noisy video game city. The big city is indeed a big city, with all kinds of high-end equipment, and many games that I haven't played for thousands of miles.When he came to the cash register, Qianli looked at the price, grabbed a handful of one or two yuan change in his pocket, and bought a few coins under the strange eyes of the cashier girl.

Qianli didn't pay attention to the reaction of the cashier girl, so he didn't do anything else, and happily took the game coins and started wandering around.

The video game city is quite big, and it took Qianli a while to wander from one side to the other.

One side is mainly dancing machines, music games, or shooting guns. Qianli is not very interested, especially dancing machines, no matter what form, he will never touch them.In the past, there are all kinds of strange types, gambling, sports, lottery, KTV... all kinds of things.Dangling all the way for thousands of miles, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found the arcade area.

He just wanted to relive his childhood memories.

As Qianli walked forward, he noticed that there was a circle of people in front of a certain machine, which was quite lively.

Qianli stuck to the back row of the human wall, and looked in through the gap between the heads. It turned out that there was a man fighting the King of Fighters, a very classic 97 version, but the fighting situation... can only be described as horrible.

Obviously, this person's opponent is not a computer, but another person facing him on the opposite side of the machine.The oldest form of these arcade machines is that two players sit side by side, facing the same screen, and later developed into a machine that can only be controlled by a single player. Two identical game machines are attached back to back, so that players You can't see each other in the game.

No wonder there were more people on the opposite side, Qianli came here to see what was going on because there were few people on this side.

"I'll go, buddy," Qianli couldn't help laughing out loud, "Being abused like this, how can I have the courage to continue fighting?"

As soon as Qianli's words were spoken, several people around looked at him, their eyes were extremely complicated, some were surprised, or disdainful, and the man standing beside Qianli said, "This one has been played very well, at least it hit the second one on the opposite side. Personally, the previous ones were all picked by that kid..."

"With this buddy's level, it's normal to be [-]v[-]." Qianli blurted out.

Everyone stared straight at him.

"Why don't you try it?" Another person said with a smile on his face.This person has already been picked just now, and more than once. Before going on stage, he also felt that the kid on the opposite side was no big deal, how could he be picked three by one, and then...then it was the past that he didn't want to recall.Seeing Qianli uttering wild words so lightly and deftly, he was really a little angry. He wanted to ridicule a few words, but after thinking about it, let him hit the wall first, and then it will not be too late to ridicule.

"Okay," Qianli replied without even thinking about it. Fighting with people is more exciting than fighting with machines. "Wait until this buddy finishes. Ah, it's over." While a few people were talking, that person had already lost quickly. What's more, it barely knocked out the first person on the opposite side, and the second person didn't even cut off half a tube of blood.

The man gave up his seat dejectedly, stepped forward to sit down, and put in a coin.

new challenger.

pick people.

ready.

Games start.

Qianli's movements during this process were slow, not at all as skilled as those previous challengers, as if he was slowly groping, and it could be seen that the people behind him were already conceiving the content of the ridicule in advance.

What the hell, let this guy be arrogant.It is not a crime to fight badly, but one cannot bear it if one does not know the heights of the heavens and the earth.

In the first round, Chisato used Mai Shiranui, and the opponent used Yagami.As soon as the "go" sound came out from the game console, Yagami rushed up aggressively.

Qianli retreated without hesitation.

But the momentum on the opposite side did not diminish. During the run, a ray of purple light slid from the ground first. It did not jump or flash for thousands of miles, but chose to block it safely. In front of Qianli, move, move, move!

Every movement of this eight gods, running, jumping, dodging and even skills, is very crisp and neat, and the connection is extremely precise, almost without revealing a little gap, and the offensive is extremely fierce. If you attack, he will confront you head-on. , If you don't make a move, he will still come.

The setting in King of Fighters is that if the defense lasts too long, the defense will be forcibly broken under the continuous attacks of the opponent.Under this setting, as long as one party is aggressive enough, the other party cannot passively slack off.
