Chapter 1114 Summer Memories (I)
In the afternoon, the hazy sky turned sunny.
Just after dinner, Feng Bujue knocked on the door of the landlord Aunt Liu's house, carrying a bunch of things in big and small bags.
Although Brother Jue has a maverick side, he naturally understands the ways of the world, and he also knows how to adjust his words and deeds when he is required to do something.
On this day, he took a bunch of gifts to Aunt Liu's house and had a chat with the couple.
The things he bought were neither expensive nor cheap.
That's the thing about giving gifts...if they're expensive, they won't be able to accept them; if they're cheap, you won't be able to get them. It's actually not easy to figure out what the scale is, but... Feng Bujue has a good grasp of it.
He didn't sit in the room for long. Over a cup of tea, he said what needed to be said in a few words. He thanked the two neighbors and elders for their care over the years, and then resigned and went back.
So... what was he going to do?
Some people may have already thought of it - Feng Bujue is moving.
The money he won on the Song of Songs, combined with his own savings, was enough for him to buy a nice property in City S, so he was ready to stop renting.
Of course, this does not mean that he can move there; not to mention that he has chosen the house to buy. Even after buying it, he still has to wait for decoration. After the decoration is completed, it will take half a year... Optimistically, he will officially Moving out will have to wait until the second half of next year at the earliest.
However, now that he had a plan, he still had to talk to Aunt Liu and his wife first. Saying hello in advance would also make it easier for them to find a new home.
To make a long story short, this day he went out in the morning, drove around for a while, and it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon when he got home.
When he sat down on the sofa, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Huh...Although I have noticed it a long time ago, it still feels a bit uncomfortable when others say it..." Feng Bujue looked at the ceiling and muttered to himself.
The things he said. Nothing else...it's about his "parents", or rather - parents in this universe.
obviously. He had already realized something long before today.
In terms of Feng Bujue's abilities, it was really easy to find out whether he was related to his parents by blood. He could do it in elementary school.
However, he never investigated and confirmed this matter.
Because... from an emotional point of view, he is not willing to pierce this layer of window paper.
Feng Bujue is a person who rarely shows emotions. So he also cherishes the hard-won close relationships in life.
Brother Jue is more willing to believe in human nature than blood ties.
He would rather regard the couple who raised him as relatives than a man who is a stranger to him in the parallel universe.
However, when his two relatives passed away, he did not show much sadness in front of others.
During those days, many people pointed fingers at him, thinking that his relationship with his parents was not harmonious, so he left home to live alone before graduating from high school, and even refused financial support from his parents.
Only Wang Tanzhi and Bao Qing know Feng Bujue's true inner thoughts...
I'm afraid... Feng Bujue had already realized it at that time. Let those two ordinary people keep a distance from themselves so that they can live in peace.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
now. After learning something about "karma", Feng Bujue realized the reason for his parents' death belatedly.
But he is now. Still not going to be sad.
Because long before our story began, he had buried his sorrow with a smile.
…………
"Hey, they're all here."
In the evening, at 11:50, in the game world, Xiaotan's conference room.
When Feng Bujue walked in, his eyes were still those lazy fish eyes, and there was still that vague smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. If he didn't tell himself, no one would know what he experienced during the day and what he learned. What, what I thought, what I carried...
certainly. He won't say anything because he is Feng Bujue.
"Aren't I waiting for you every time..." Ruoyu saw Brother Jue. There was joy in his eyes, but he still responded coldly.
"Brother Jue, um... I just have something to ask you." When Xiao Tan saw Brother Jue this time, his expression was a little strange.
"You want to ask about the prize," Feng Bujue answered.
A while ago, because Ruoyu and Brother Jue were having an argument, no one mentioned the S2 prize at all, and the things were left at Brother Jue's house.
After they reconciled, Ruoyu found a time to distribute some prizes from Woody to Xiaotan and the others; and today... it was the first time they got together after receiving the prizes.
"Yeah..." Xiaotan continued, "No matter what...this gift is too..."
"That's outrageous!" Before he could finish his words, Xiao Ling shouted loudly, "Captain, is your friend named 'Woody' being too lenient?"
Feng Bujue naturally knew what the prizes the young couple received were. When doing the YaGe deal, he specifically asked Woody about the prizes.
According to the devil's original words - "Hey hey hey... Don't worry, the Yin Yang Ring is a good thing and has endless uses. I gave this to them because of my friendship with their grandfathers. I wouldn't give it to most people." "
"He's not my friend." Feng Bujue shrugged, "But I think... there shouldn't be any malicious intent in this prize."
"Well..." Xiao Tan continued, "Actually, I did have plans to buy a wedding ring recently, but at this time, I got a pair of strange rings from a stranger. I always felt..."
"...I felt that he was a bit nosy." Xiao Ling continued to say his words.
"Really..." Jue Ge thought, "I think this is also good... Anyway, considering your wealthy families, you will definitely not buy ready-made rings... You will probably order two unique and extremely expensive things. Now someone has sent you a pair of magic weapons directly, which fully meet the characteristics of uniqueness and priceless, saving you a lot of trouble."
"Have you started to study the materials for cultivation recently? And magic weapons?" Hearing these words, An Yueqin, who didn't know the truth, took the opportunity to complain about Jue Ge, "By the way... your submission date for this round is coming soon, you have an idea in your mind, if you can't submit it by then..."
This editor hasn't urged Jue Ge's manuscript for a long time, mainly because of the matter between Jue Ge and Ruoyu a while ago, but now there is no such problem...
"Calm down... I... know." Feng Bujue didn't say anything definite. Because he was really busy these days, he was not in the mood when he had free time. I don’t have time when I feel like it… I’m already close to death without realizing it. To be honest… I don’t know if I can hand it in by then, but I still have a mysterious calmness…
“Oh~ That’s right!” A second later, facing An Yueqin’s suspicious eyes, Jue Ge quickly changed the subject, “Didn’t the company say before S2 that it would use the competition to promote me? How is this going now?”
“Oh… that.” An Yueqin replied slowly, “The effect is quite significant. In the past month, the sales of your new book have increased, and the old book has been reprinted and republished. The royalties for the next quarter are worth looking forward to.”
“Hehe… This is all thanks to the cultivation of the Bureau Chief… Oh no… Editor.” Feng Bujue laughed and smoothly diverted the topic from “magic weapons” and “urging for manuscripts”.
In this way, everyone ate and drank, and chatted lively for nearly half an hour.
They also complained about each other’s prizes…
Except for Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling’s rings, the others actually got magic weapons.
An Yueqin got a "limited edition laptop computer exclusively issued by Dream Company". That's what she said to the outside world... But in fact, this is a hardware device dedicated to "recorders".
An Yueqin doesn't know it now. She is actually a descendant of the "recorder" clan, with the mission of writing the "Apocalypse of the End of the World".
Of course, this is not a particularly dangerous task. On the contrary, "recorders" can be said to be the safest group of people in the world. Because they are directly protected by "God". From ancient times to the present, all they have to do is to record what they see, hear, and experience on stone tablets, bamboo slips, and paper...
The mission has not changed, but the media used for recording is constantly upgraded; so today, "recorders" also use hard drives...
Seeing this, I believe everyone also understands that the reason why Miss An intersects with the lives of Feng Bujue, Wang Tanzhi, Li Ruoyu, and Gu Xiaoling is fate itself... In the many years to come, she will play the role of a "witness". Record many things.
Next, let's talk about the prize Ruoyu got...
She got a magic cube. The meaning is unclear, but Ruoyu can feel that this is definitely not an ordinary thing; just in case, she sent the thing to the grandfather (Gu Chen), and the Nine Departments are currently studying this thing.
Finally, it's Feng Bujue...
One thing at a time, apart from the various transactions and gambling between him and Woody, he also got a prize.
What Jue got... was a book.
A black, very thick book.
The cover of this book is hard. From the outside, whether it is up, down, left, right, or side cover... there is no text; after opening it, it is all white paper inside.
This is a blank book that can't even be distinguished from the front and back.
When Feng Bujue got this "wordless book", he didn't study it for the time being, and he had no way to study it... He just put it on the bookshelf at home.
Originally, he had no clue, but this morning, after listening to Woody's talk about the "effect" of the ability of the fallacy of truth, Jue seemed to have some idea of the use of this book.
In the evening, he also tried to use it at home, but... there was no reaction.
I think his ability level is not enough, and he probably needs to practice to the "parallel" level first.
…………
With books, it will be long, without books, it will be short.
More than half an hour passed quickly...
Tonight, the five members of [Hell Frontline] also formed a team for the first time after the new version was launched, and there was no doubt that they would go to the team survival mode.
So, after some discussion, everyone returned to their respective login spaces and prepared, just waiting for Brother Jue to join the queue.
[Feng Bujue, level 50]
[Like Yu Ruoli, level 50]
[Wan Tanzhi, level 50]
[Sad Spirit Laughing Bone, level 50]
[Stone on the Flower, level 50]
[Please select the game mode the team wants to join. ]
[You have selected the team survival mode (nightmare), please confirm. ]
Although this was the first script tonight, Jue Ge also unceremoniously chose the nightmare difficulty. After all, the team's strength is there, so there is no need to be timid.
[Your team is joining the team survival mode (nightmare), and the random value of the team size has been generated: six people. ]
[Your team has entered the queue and is searching for other individuals or teams that are ready. ]
[Matching completed, coordinating neural connections, and generating scripts...]
[Loading started, please wait. ]
At this moment, everyone's eyes became dark, the game menu could not be opened, and the body also felt weightless.
All these indicate that the transmission has begun.
"Welcome to... Horror Paradise." The hoarse voice, the gloomy tone, and the very appropriate opening remarks give people a creepy feeling.
[Loading has been completed, and you are currently playing the team survival mode (nightmare). ]
[This mode provides a brief introduction to the script, and there is a chance that side/hidden tasks and special world views will appear. 】
[Script clearance reward: 80% of the basic experience bonus for clearance can be obtained when the reward is settled]
[The script introduction will be played soon. The game will start immediately after the playback is completed. 】
After the new version is launched, the level cap has been raised again. Therefore, when generating the script clearance reward, the probability of experience reward also increases significantly.
[It was a summer evening. ]
The narration began, and the opening CG also began to play.
As soon as the picture appeared, a rather small classroom appeared in front of everyone.
Under the illumination of an old fluorescent tube... mottled walls, old desks and chairs, window glass covered by dust, huge lockers that have been corroded and rusted, and other scenes flashed through the camera one by one.
It seems that this space full of oppression and weird atmosphere is the place of this journey.
[I took the letter from the class monitor and returned to my hometown and the elementary school classroom in my childhood memory. ]
The narration continued...
[I arrived in the classroom half an hour earlier than the agreed time, and soon after, my classmates also appeared one after another. 】
【Although we haven't seen each other for many years, we haven't changed much. 】
The narration paused for a few seconds; at the same time, the camera continued to rotate in the classroom, as if to help the players observe the surrounding environment in advance.
【The agreed time has passed, but the class monitor has not appeared yet. 】
【The sky darkened, and the sunset seemed to be earlier than usual. It was less than six o'clock, but it was pitch dark outside the window. 】
【Just when everyone was discussing whether to go back, suddenly, someone shouted loudly! 】(To be continued ~^~)
