Homecoming through online games

=====================

In addition to towns, there are also large and small villages around Baicaotang.When it was dawn, hard-working farmers had already gotten up and prepared to work.In such a peaceful village, the panic-stricken epidemic turmoil in recent days seems to be undetectable.When the buckwheat is in bloom, the rolling green is covered with a sea of ​​white velvet flowers, just like a layer of fresh snow that cannot be seen.When the breeze blows, you can smell the refreshing fragrance of flowers and plants from a distance.The golden sun, which has not yet become violent, shone on the field ridge, and it seemed to be a vibrant morning.

This large buckwheat field is distributed on both sides of the official road, and there are often caravans passing by on the official road every day.The thoughtful villagers set up a thatched shed beside their fields, put a few wooden tables and stools, and sold some cold sweet water every day, which also provided a temporary resting place for passers-by.

The villagers unloaded the burdens they had brought into the hut, wiped their foreheads, picked up the farm tools and prepared to work in the fields. When they looked up, they saw two riders approaching the official road from a distance.Thinking that they might be the first batch of customers to open, so he stood still and looked over, but when he saw the attires of the two people, he shuddered, lowered his head and turned sideways in a hurry, as if he was busy preparing household items , I dare not look at it any more.

Doing business beside this official road, naturally many strange people and guests will be seen.Even the poison disciples, who are feared by ordinary people, are just guests who need to be treated carefully to the villagers, and they are not as scary as the rumors say.But the attire of the two riders was clearly in the style of the Palace of Seven Kills.The villagers know more about the deeds of Qisha Temple from the mouths of the past merchants, and it can be said that they are more in awe of this sect than ordinary villagers nearby.At this moment, I felt anxious and anxious for a while, I only hoped that the two people would pass by like this and not stay, and even more hoped that my guess was wrong.

However, the sound of horseshoes stopped just outside the grass shed.The hearts of the villagers were raised high, but they had to bite the bullet and turn around slowly.

The two people outside the thatched shed were Ye Mu and Jiang Wang.

In the forest before, after the two finished the conversation, there was not much change in getting along with each other for a while, but it was a little more casual than before.Jiang Wangfu brought up the source of the disease that he talked about at first, but he didn't provide any specific information, but said with great interest that he would take Ye Mu to a place.

Riding the horse all the way, he was not in a hurry.During the journey, they briefly exchanged some experiences after the separation of the capital, but did not discuss in depth.Ye Mu said in a few words that after hearing the news of his death, he found Anshun Palace, quietly changed the bones, and then came to Baicao Hall to see if there was any way to bring the dead back to life, all the changes in mood during the period were hidden.Jiang Wang, on the other hand, seemed very happy, and flashed over from his "horse" in an instant.

Ye Mu only felt that there was a gust of wind, and there was someone behind him.A pair of arms stretched out and hugged him tightly, and his head leaned closer.This is different from the battle. It is really a strange experience for Ye Mu, who is not used to being close to people, to have such close contact with people in a relaxed state.The body stiffened involuntarily, the muscles tensed subconsciously, and then slowly relaxed.After hesitating for a moment, he raised his left hand to cover Jiang Wang's cold hand, and was immediately grasped firmly by that hand.

Jiang Wang hugged himself, and said happily: "So that's the case. I was worried that I would end up with no bones left. If that was the case, it might be a little troublesome. Now it seems that it is thanks to you."

He turned his head, seemed to be greedy for warmth, and said, "Aside from the change of face, there is no difference, but does it feel awkward to look at the same face as your own? If you like it, you can change your face into another face." Appearance is fine too." He laughed, "Anyway, I'm used to maintaining a disguised state. You can look whatever you want, it doesn't matter."

He didn't ask why the appearance of this corpse was exactly the same as Ye Mu's, and he didn't mention how Ye Mu perfectly "changed the bones".

Ye Mu thought for a while, and replied: "You don't need to disguise yourself, your current appearance is fine."

There will always be some awkwardness, but he wants to see Jiang Wang's real face more.If it was the face that he had used for more than 20 years in the original world, he might need to make some mental preparations to accept it, but in fact he has not used this face for a long time himself. Obstacles are fairly easy to overcome.What's more, compared to the fact that Jiang Wang still exists alive in the world, what that face looks like is really not that important.

He had thought about whether Jiang Wang himself would become more accustomed to He Liang's original appearance, but Jiang Wang didn't mention it in his words, and judging from the meaning of the words, it was obvious that he had no attachment to it.Well, as long as it is the way it is now.

Jiang Wang said good, as if he remembered something, and said with a smile: "No, I can't say that there is nothing unusual. When I just woke up, my mind was very confused. Somehow, I came to the Your house turned out to be an empty room, and I slept there. I remembered everything after waking up." He sighed leisurely, and said, "It's probably because the bones have changed, and I thought Is that your home?"

Ye Mu was silent for a moment.

No, no matter how you think about it, the skeleton from the hostility in his game should not have such a function.

However, there is no need to tell Jiang Wang about this kind of thing.

So he was in a good mood and silently acquiesced.

Jiang Wang didn't get a response, and he didn't care, and continued: "Speaking of which, I'm very sorry for one thing. When I just woke up, I was very hungry, and I couldn't control my emotions, so I burned your house down in anger. .Hope there's nothing valuable in it."

The tone of the chat is like talking about the good weather today, rather than talking about burning down the other party's house.

Ye Mu choked for breath and almost choked.

There is nothing wrong with burning the house, the problem is that the house is rented.

Because the lease period is more than half a year, he didn't say hello to the owner before leaving, which is troublesome.

I have a little headache thinking that I will go to the original owner next time I come to the capital, and buy the house with more money.He said, "...it's all right. What happened?"

Jiang Wang said casually: "Then I heard that one of my enemies was in Xiliang, so I found a horse and drove all the way here. Just happened to meet you." Tightening his arms, he said with a smile, "This It’s really a surprise, and it’s not in vain for me to travel thousands of miles.”

Ye Mu asked: "The enemy?"

Jiang Wang did say before that he originally came here because of a "little" personal grievance from the past.

"It's not in a hurry, it's not too late to solve it. You'll see him sooner or later, and I'll tell you in detail later." Jiang Wang said, stretching out his arm to grab Ye Mu's right hand that was holding on to the rein, and stopped horse.

At this time, there were no forests on both sides of the road, and large fields stretched out.The dark clouds in the sky do not know when they have gone far, revealing the dark sky and a thin moon.On the horizon in the distance, between the misty outlines of mountains, there is a faint light.

"Look, it's almost dawn." Jiang Wang stared at the light in fascination, and said in a low voice.

Hearing the unusual tone of voice, Ye Mu turned his head and looked at Jiang Wang.In the gradually brightening light, the man stared into the distance with focused and gentle eyes, with a hint of a smile.

Ye Mu's heart throbbed unexpectedly.

Then he saw the man turn his head, and his focused eyes fell on him.

"I'm glad you're here."

Almost whispering and sighing, they exchanged kisses under the rising morning light.

No one pays attention to the information that emerges at the moment.

How can you say goodbye to death if you have success? I would like to be a mandarin duck and not envy immortals.Love each other, intimacy +50

[Current Status] You think the fields in this area seem a little weird.

Although Ye Mu didn't see the mission notification immediately, he didn't miss this message.The information bar is so brightly suspended in mid-air, it's hard to miss it.

This helped him confirm that the destination he was heading to now was the correct one, but although he was still thinking about tasks and the like, in fact he was somewhat absent-minded.After all, what happened last night was too twists and turns, after all, it still takes time to digest emotions.

Before starting again, Jiang Wang performed a simple disguise. Although his facial features were still the same, the feeling he gave was completely different from before.Putting on the mask and riding back to the beast covered in black cloth, the rider sitting on the back of the beast seemed to have changed his aura.

Even more... flamboyant, fierce, and unscrupulous.

He turned his head and smiled, and said: "We're almost here, let's go." Then he drove his mount and galloped out first.

This is a Jiang Wang who looks completely different from the previous He Liang.

Ye Mu flicked the reins, Zhufeng let out a long hiss, and followed closely.He rode on the horse, watched Jiang Wang's back for a moment, and calmed down.

Now is not the time to talk.Find some time and have a good chat.

About some things they don't know each other, but should know.

——After he confirmed something.

Not to mention these considerations, Ye Mu parted his thoughts, recalling the mission system in the game.

It is said that the task system of "Wolf Smoke" is good, with many different tasks, touching plot, and ingenious design.But Ye Mu basically didn't care much about it.For him at that time, the greater pleasure was fighting with players.It is rare to do tasks, either to kill time and reduce crime points, or to accumulate NPC favorability or reputation points, so as to unlock maps or exchange for equipment.Every time you do a mission, go directly to the game forum to search for other players' strategy experience, and then choose a route with the most rewards and do it all the way.

But even so, he still knows the basic common sense.

The tasks in the game do not have a main line or a branch line, and the methods to complete the tasks are not stick to one pattern.For example, in a task of finding lost items, you can follow the clues given in the NPC's words to complete several touching tasks, and finally successfully recover the lost items to get rewards. You can also directly To kill that NPC and get back the lost property, the final task rewards obtained by the two methods are exactly the same.But the former depends on the route chosen, and the various rewards that may be obtained during the mission cannot be obtained by those who complete the mission in the latter way.Of course, there are also cases where killing the person who holds the lost item also obtains other items held by the other party.It can be said that apart from the initial starting mission and the final mission reward, the difficulty and reward of the mission depend entirely on the player's choice.

The task progress is designed to allow players to determine the route they are taking. The progress will increase after each task-related action is performed, and the task will be completed when it reaches 100.

Judging from the current situation, this mission system seems to work in a similar way to the mission system in the game.Follow the clues in the mission NPC's words to a certain place - meet the clue NPC at a special time - get the next step information according to the clue NPC's instructions, the task progress increases, and the task continues.

- What a joke!

This thought just flashed by before Ye Mu angrily denied it.Even though it was just a momentary thought, he still couldn't help feeling ashamed of it - because equating Jiang Wang with a clue NPC, this not only underestimated Jiang Wang, but also insulted himself.

Annoyed to eliminate those messy associations, Ye Mu began to observe the buckwheat fields on both sides of the road.Clues to the next step are usually hidden in the task status, it just depends on whether he can find it.

It's good to be able to get the information from Jiang Wang, but he himself has to get used to this mission system earlier in order to make it truly useful to him.It is a rare opportunity to get help, and it is even more important to seize the time to explore at this time.

When Jiang Wang stopped his mount in front of the thatched shed, Ye Mu also stopped Chasing the Wind immediately, looking away from the vast sea of ​​flowers.From the perspective of the villagers in the grass shed, it seemed that they were simply attracted by the sea of ​​flowers.

Ye Mu got off his horse and walked towards Jiang Wang.

This sea of ​​flowers is as beautiful as it is beautiful, but it is so beautiful.

Although there are bees and butterflies busy on it, there is a breeze blowing around, and the vegetation is rustling.But there are still a lot of sounds missing—the chirping sounds of insects lying in the grass and lurking in the leaves.

On both sides of the road, there are tiny insect corpses lying on top of them, drier and shriveled by the scorching sun. The brown belly is mixed with the mottled soil. If you don't pay attention carefully, you will never notice it.But if you search intentionally, you will find that the number of those insect corpses is surprisingly large.

Dense, endless.
