King from scratch

"Mom, I'm coming back and I have something to tell you."

He Xingwen put his bag on his back and walked out of the bus: "No... I'm not short of money, so you don't need to send me money, but I have something to discuss with you. Yes, get home after four in the afternoon, don't... don't use it Pick me up, I'll just come back by myself..."

He Xingwen stepped into the high-speed rail station familiarly, hung up the phone, and after ten minutes, got on the high-speed rail direct to S city.

He Xingwen found the location, put on the earphones, and swiped through the social software on his mobile phone. The news from his friends swiped quickly, such as travel, games, dinner parties, and complaints.

If there is no accident, there should be one of them among these people.

but now……

He Xingwen turned off the phone screen, took out a copy of "Das Kapital" from his backpack, and quickly fell asleep in the familiar Chinese.

System: "Have you made a decision yet?"

He Xingwen yawned: "It just so happens that the players are all going on an adventure, so it's time for me to deal with real life."

"Mom, I'm back!"

He Xingwen hugged his mother full of arms, and when he entered the door, he first boasted about his mother's craftsmanship, and then began to praise Ms. Huang Heling from all aspects, as if she is a model of a good contemporary son.

"The last time I met Aunt Zhang in the neighborhood next door, and they asked you if you were back, I told you that you are independent and don't need us to worry about it at all. You are busy working to earn living expenses when you are only a junior. Guess what Aunt Zhang said ?”

"What did you say, Mom?" He Xingwen stuffed the peeled orange into Ms. Huang Heling's mouth, guessing, "You praised me, didn't you?"

Huang Heling swallowed the orange, and stretched out her hand to hit him: "I still praised you, people asked me if I abused you, or I don't want to go home after summer vacation, so I have to stay there to work?"

He Xingwen leaned close to her with a smile: "How can that be? Who in our community doesn't know that you dote on children?" He Xingwen kept his hands on, peeling off a piece of candy and stuffing it into his mother's mouth. His words were sweeter than candy: " My mother loves me the most at home."

He looked up at Ms. Huang Heling, who was squinting and eating candy, and asked as if looking for approval: "Right? Mom?"

"Don't set me up, it depends on what happens."

Although she is nearly middle-aged, Huang Heling, who is well-maintained and has no worries in her life without leaving the slightest trace of time, was not fooled at all: "I knew you had something to do when you came back, so tell me, what's the matter?"

He Xingwen blinked, and looked at the sky outside the window: "Let's talk about it together when my dad comes back, otherwise I have to explain it again..."

Huang Heling's expression became serious, and she looked He Xingwen up and down.

"Are you in debt?" Her tone was soft: "It doesn't matter if you owe money, as long as you don't gamble..."

As she spoke, she glanced at He Xingwen.

"Absolutely not." He Xingwen said hastily: "Don't make wild guesses, it's not... a big deal."

"Look at your guilty look. You didn't dare to go home during the summer vacation. When you finally came back, you first flattered me and then waited for your father to come back. Isn't it a big deal?" She became serious: "Xingwen, you used to Not like that."

He Xingwen was given solid training, and the situation was not broken until his father came home.

"What's the matter? I heard you training your son from afar."

He Jianwen took off his coat and glanced at the living room, calming down the situation, "Didn't you say you missed your son?"

"He has something to tell us."

"What's the matter?" He Jianwen walked to the sofa, first lowered his head to coax his wife: "What big thing can it be? Think about it, he hasn't even had a rebellious period since he was a child...how big can this matter be? Go? Well, don’t be angry, let me tell him.”

He Jianwen turned his head to look at He Xingwen, who was sitting upright, and it was exactly the same as his wife's opening: "Are you owed money?"

He Xingwen shook his head.

"gamble?"

He Xingwen shook his head.

After getting a negative answer, He Jianwen turned his head to coax his wife again: "Then what's the big deal? You see, you worry about it all day long, and your son is fine."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I want to leave school."

The scene was quiet for a few seconds.

He Jianwen confirmed with him: "I will be a senior soon, and I will get my diploma in one year. Why do you suddenly want to drop out of school?"

Huang Heling beckoned to He Xingwen, and hugged him into her arms: "Is there anything you can't tell us? When something happens, you can't solve the problem by hiding it. Tell your parents why."

He Xingwen paused for two seconds: "Because... I... am addicted..." He glanced at his parents' expressions while talking: "I am addicted to games."

"what?"

"There's a new holographic game recently, you know? It's just... very fun..." He Xingwen's voice gradually lowered when no one answered, "So, I want to play games instead of going to school."

"Just to play games?" He Jianwen confirmed with He Xingwen again.

He Xingwen nodded heavily.

There was a moment of silence.

Huang Heling breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought it was a big deal, I checked our family's savings several times just now, thinking that I would have to sell the suite anyway..."

He Jianwen sighed: "The rebellious period, I knew it, your rebellious period didn't come, it's too late!"

"Just play the game, it's better than gambling."

He Jianwen concluded: "As soon as you said that you would not come back during the summer vacation, your mother would whisper in my ear every day, nothing will happen to our son, guess today you were cheated, tomorrow guess you were naked, loaned, guess the day after tomorrow You and the little girl didn't take good safety measures, and you scared yourself, so scared that you planned to find you secretly."

"Your father won't let me go," Huang Heling took He Jianwen's hand, seemingly complaining, but in fact she was abusing the dog: "You are so old, and you know it well. If we secretly visit you, no matter what happens to you It's hard to be seen by parents."

"He said that if you have nothing to do, you will always go home to find your parents."

He Jianwen smiled, with a relaxed tone: "Let me tell you, Xingwen, don't say that you want to suspend school, even if you really owe money, as long as you still know how to make it clear to your parents, you want to get out of there , we won't blame you either."

"Who doesn't make mistakes?"

He Jianwen: "Only young people have the right to make mistakes, and they are only suspended from school. When you get tired of playing games and come back to school to get your diploma, everything will be in time."

He Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew his parents' personalities, he was always nervous before the dust settled.

The Special Investigation Bureau did not make any mistakes in He Xingwen's character profile. He Xingwen was born in a middle-class family with good economic conditions and a relaxed family environment, which shaped him into what he is today.

Because there is no shortage of money, there is no specific concept of money, and because of the relaxed family atmosphere, I learn to be tolerant.

Happy people use childhood to heal their lives, and unfortunate people use their lives to heal their childhood. 1 note

As the summer vacation draws to a close, two months after the game's beta test began, He Xingwen and his parents went through the suspension procedures at school, extending the short summer vacation to a more distant future.

"Remember to eat on time." Huang Heling told He Xingwen naggingly: "Remember to buy fruits too, don't just order takeaway..."

Seeing that the separation was imminent, she became more and more anxious as she talked, and finally couldn't help but said: "Why don't you go home? You can play games at home, at least you can eat well, I promise I won't talk about you."

"Okay, the high-speed rail should start later, let's go, how old is he, if it doesn't work, I will go home..." He Jianwen took Huang Heling to look at the car on the road, turned to He Xingwen and said: If something happens, don't carry it by yourself, go home and find your parents."

"I see, don't worry, didn't you agree? I will call you every week."

He Xingwen stopped the taxi, waited for his parents with worried faces to get into the car and disappeared from sight, then turned around slowly and walked towards the rented house.

"System, you haven't spoken all this time."

"I do not know what to say."

He Xingwen was silent for two seconds: "I don't know what to say." He was a little tired, but also a little relaxed: "My college life is over."

"Actually, you don't have to do this."

"Are you sure you want to say this after I've already done so?"

"I wanted to say this before, but for some reason, I kept silent."

"why?"

"do not know."

After a long silence, the system said: "I just think you should have the right to choose which direction your life will go in."

"The optimal solution I got may not be the optimal solution you think."

While He Xingwen was dealing with real affairs, the expedition team was encountering the first crisis after departure.

The expedition team who walked out of the land of God's Fall came across a group of grinning and ferocious wild animals at the foot of the mountains.

The dwarf's crude engineering vehicle ran over them all the way, without even noticing their existence.

Followed by disorderly players, dozens of players were lost as soon as they met, a white light flashed, and reappeared next to the last player in the team.

The 117 team behind the player had to stop because the players in front were in chaos, and was blocked behind, unable to move forward or back.

Screams, fights, and roars, accompanied by white light and "chirp" sounds, rang out in front, and chaos spread among the players, causing one after another deaths due to lack of organization and discipline.

Fortunately, the players were not good at other things, and running was definitely a stunt. Some players who were behind saw that the situation ahead was not right, so they turned their heads and ran straight towards Team 117.

As a result, the players were completely scattered, some died on the spot, some gathered behind Team 117, and more players also gathered behind Team 117 after being resurrected.

After defeating the players, the group of monsters confronted Team 117 head-on.

While the players were making useless resistance against the monsters, Team 117 had silently adjusted the queue, pulled out the long wooden bins made of bone blades, and held them neatly in their hands. The wooden bins tilted their heads forward. The air of killing is all over the place.

The revived players and the escaped players gathered behind Team 117, not to mention watching the excitement, and made a brief comment on it.

"Fuck, professional."

"I'll just say it's the army."

"What are you talking about, why can't such a big kingdom have its own army?"

"No one said that this is not the army of the kingdom, what are you in a hurry for?"

Wu Xing, who was hit by a sentence in the heart, hesitated for a few seconds, then simply changed the topic: "Is this a monkey?"

"Then it looks a bit awkward."

The group of monsters that suddenly appeared looked like monkeys, but upon closer inspection, they were full of fangs, sharp claws, and protruding noses. Under the monkey-like appearance, they had a very wild and unruly interior with explosive fighting power.

"chirp chirp"

"Swish"

It is quite spectacular to gather together the uniform sounds of breaking through the air.

Part of the monsters facing the 117th queue hung on the wooden warehouse pole, and the other part stepped on the corpses of the monsters in front and rushed towards the 117th team.

The queue rotated, the person in charge of the wooden warehouse stepped back, and the other row behind followed, holding a shield and swinging a sword forward.

There was a frightened "chirp" sound.

Seeing that the monster's forward trend was caught by Team 117, the players who shrank behind Team 117 couldn't hold back for an instant.

A few players stood up to command, and the players who had just been in a slump seamlessly switched their personalities, and started to attract monsters in small groups in the form of teamwork.

Anuta and Lincoln stood at the back and witnessed this fierce and even battle. After a subtle silence, Lincoln said: "A group of mountain monkeys, can they fight so fiercely?"

Mountain monkeys, the most common wild animals on the mainland, live in groups, have extremely low combat effectiveness, live in forests and mountains, and rarely attack humans actively.

If the various animals on the top of the mountains are divided according to the level of monsters, then the mountain monkey can be called a first-level mob.

Contrary to Lincoln's doubts, Anuta watched in surprise as team 117 and the players worked together to defeat the mountain monkeys that rushed up, and began to clean up the mess on the scene.

"They are indeed not powerful." Anuta followed the movements of Team 117 and answered Lincoln's question: "But they have surprising potential."

Considering that Lincoln knew nothing about the players, Anuta had to tell each other one of the most remarkable characteristics of the players: "As undead to a certain extent, they are both weak and crazy."

Probably aware that Lincoln did not trust this sentence, Anuta continued: "The king chose them to form an expedition team, and he believed that they could complete this task."

Lincoln was convinced, he didn't trust the players, but the human king won his respect by virtue of his strength.

Maintaining awe of the strong is the most common cognition in this world.

"What is this?"

The player wrapped his nose with his clothes and searched for loot from the mountain monkey corpse, muttering, "It's unscientific not to lose the loot after killing monsters."

"It's bloody, don't turn it over." Another player stopped him from the side: "In this game, it's normal that you can't lose the loot after killing monsters."

"After killing the monster, didn't you give me two ether points?"

"Is this ether point appearing after killing monsters?"

"Yes, right under the name."

The player glanced at the character panel. Below the name and above the occupation, there is an inconspicuous ether point, followed by a lonely 2, without even an explanation.

"The brain circuit of the plan is really in line with His Majesty the King. Is it okay without any explanation for the new function?"

"I think it's okay. Have you ever played a stand-alone game? This is the energy consumed by using spells."

"No, before I didn't have this thing, I could use spells, right?"

Another player suddenly realized: "That means that using higher-level spells requires ether points, otherwise its appearance is meaningless, and it must appear because we need to use it."

"So there is no ether point limit for zero-level skills? Why do the more I listen to it, the more I feel that zero-level skills are magical skills?"

"That said, I feel the same way."

While other players were arguing about the ether points for killing monsters, the player who tossed the mountain monkey corpse into a mess suddenly spoke.

"By the way, if this thing is handed over to You, will you be rewarded with credit points?"

After the debate at the scene stopped, the players picked up the mountain monkey corpses scattered all over the ground and rushed towards You—the team 117 was already there before they squeezed in.

"They also come to hand over the spoils?"

The players were stopped behind the circle formed by Team 117, subconsciously stood on tiptoe, trying to see what was going on inside.

"You, there's something wrong with this." Team 117 leader Wang Dazhi showed you the cleanly dissected corpse.

You's line of sight paused on the plane where the corpse was dissected.

Inside the corpse, on the surface of the flesh, there were some dark irregular black spots, distributed all the way along the spine, and finally disappeared in the brainstem.

You's expression turned serious: "Anuta, come here."

Anuta, who was talking to Lincoln at the side, froze for a moment, passed through the players, and squeezed into the crowd.

"Is this normal?"

Anuta glanced at the mountain monkey corpse that Wang Dazhi was carrying. The dissection started from the abdomen, and it was cut into a whole piece of skin along the texture. The internal organs were taken out, and the spine was clearly visible.

Anuta was first surprised by the clean dissection technique for two seconds, and then immediately attracted attention by the black spots on both sides of the spine and on the surface of the meat block, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand.

Wang Dazhi moved aside to avoid his hand, and explained: "It may be contagious."

Anuta's hand paused for two seconds, and he retracted it with some novelty - being protected by the weak is indeed a very novel feeling for him.

"This is not a normal behavior." Anuta withdrew his hand and said, "It looks more like some kind of..." He stopped talking and greeted Lincoln.

Lincoln looked at the corpse for a few seconds before making a judgment: "Patients?"

Anudha: "Have you communicated with these mountain monkeys?"

"They are too aggressive when they appear. In this situation, I have no way to establish communication with them."

"Theoretically speaking, mountain monkeys will not take the initiative to attack humans..." Anuta said with a serious expression, "so why did it suddenly rush out to attack us?"

Lincoln looked at the endless mountains in front of him. They were located at the front of the mountains on the top of the mountains, and they could not even be said to have entered the top of the mountains.

On the top of the mountains, there is a whole continuous range of mountains and vegetation all over the mountains. Here, animals, plants and some intelligent creatures that settle here live.

Lincoln closed his eyes to perceive the mountains, his brows were furrowed: "Chaos, disorder, attack, death..." He opened his eyes suddenly: "This place is getting out of control."

"A plague?" Wang Dazhi boldly assumed.

Lincoln stared at the lush mountains ahead, silent.

Anudha echoed his words: "Maybe it's worse than that."

Worse than the plague?As a person on earth, Wang Dazhi couldn't understand the meaning of the other party's words.

But obviously Anuta and Lincoln have their own judgments on this.

After listening to their conversation, You walked out of the encirclement of Team 117, and issued a task to the players to collect the corpse of the mountain monkey, and then a fire burned the corpse, leaving a pile of bones that could not be burned.

"What about people? Why are you falling behind while walking?"

After the dwarf's engineering vehicle realized that they were falling behind, it turned around again, ran back to the original place, and greeted them: "Don't be dazed, hurry up and follow..."

Halfway through the conversation, Dorona poked his head out and glanced at the mountain monkey corpse they were carrying: "What is that?"

When Anuta was about to explain to Dorona, a gust of wind blew above, and there was a shock not far away, and then a big head emerged from the branch.

Ole Jin had some difficulty finding a place to stay in the woods, poked his head out, and interrupted the conversation suspiciously and forcefully: "What are you doing? Why haven't you moved for a long time? Are you discussing how to find the treasure? "

Well, even Ole King was getting impatient.

Anutha patiently repeated their findings to them.

"What chaos is not chaos?"

Ole King's voice vibrated in the sky: "When was there order on the top of the mountains? Isn't it just a group of monkeys suddenly becoming more aggressive? Maybe they are crazy? Don't forget what we are here for, hurry up Hurry up."

Duolongna thought for two seconds, then gave up thinking: "Why do you care so much? It's important to find the treasure. I'm still in a hurry to go back to the kingdom. There are so many things to build, who has the time to care about the mountain monkeys."

He said to Ole Jin at the top of his voice, "You fly there first, we will walk from the mountainside, and we will meet up in King Odin's Valley."

Ole King flapped his wings, and a strong wind suddenly rose.

"Why go to the side of the mountain? Wouldn't it be better to just teleport to the place where the treasure is?"

Dorona shouted loudly, "Where is the treasure?"

"I have to ask you, are you a dwarf or am I?" Ole Jin fell to the ground again: "You don't know where the treasure is?"

Dorona looked around: "Does anyone know?"

Before the conversation got out of control, You coughed: "If we already know where the treasure is, why do we need a dragon and a druid? We can just teleport there, can't we?"

Ole King stared at this weak human being, a little uncertain whether the other party was lying to him.

Before he could figure out the result, Lincoln, who had no interest in treasures, spoke first: "We can teleport directly to King Odin's Valley. outside area."

Ole Jin was still a little suspicious: "The descendant of the Xishan Dwarf King, didn't say anything?"

Dorona was enraged, he held the hammer and shouted, "Are you suspicious of the dwarves?"

Dwarves are well known for their single-mindedness and stubbornness. For the sake of this, Ole King barely dispelled his doubts and took off again.

"Then we will meet up in Odin King's Valley."

"This dragon just left?" The players made a surprised voice.

"Isn't he our strongest foreign aid?"

"From here to the Odin King's Valley, it belongs to the outer area of ​​the top of the mountains, which is very safe." At the moment when he realized that there was a communication barrier, Anuta, a wandering businessman, activated the 'communicative language' on his equipment translator.

Hearing the words of the players at this moment, I can also conduct a simple science popularization for them: "After the Odin King Valley, the situation will be different."

"When you get there, you have stepped on the land on the top of the mountains."
