Absolute Choice

The United States, Hua Shengdun, Prince virtual competition, 250 box.

There is a burly blond man lying in the virtual squatting cabin. The man is wearing a short-sleeved tights. The exposed left arm muscles are distinct, but the right side of the body has only half of the arm.

The blond man fell asleep and suddenly opened his eyes at some point.

......

Thomas woke up from the virtual sneak, the stomach immediately came with a strong sense of hunger, the body was very stiff, gently twisting his neck and making a "crack" sound.

Looking at the timetable on the squatting cabin, I couldn’t help but smile.

"Twenty hours."

Even if it was set up early by the homeowner, the one-minute pre-war preparation time was cancelled, but more than a thousand battles were played, and for a long time, the little guy was "reprimanded" and eventually spent a full twenty. Hours.

This is the first time that Thomas has been sneaking for 20 hours in the virtual world. His body and spirit have been exhausted, but I don’t know why the power is constantly coming from the chest.

"Shi Xiaobai, this name seems to be a Xia Guoren."

Thomas said to himself, crawling out of the sneak cabin, the table was already ready for a long time, the food was almost cool, but he was not hugged after twenty hours of hungry, and his left hand picked up a fork and put a piece of steak torn. Bite into the mouth and quickly chew it up.

Put down the fork, pour a cup of valuable red wine with his left hand, and take a sip of it. The taste is mellow, but this time it is inexplicably bitter.

"This bottle of red wine is worth a head."

Thomas sighed.

A bounty of a f-level rewarding criminal can only buy a bottle of such red wine.

The heroes who are self-satisfied but not willing to risk their lives to fight the evil monsters will use the hero salary they receive each month to support their families. Therefore, the money for buying wine will naturally be exchanged for the heads of these criminals. .

It is evil to reward criminals.

Destroy evil, change a few bottles of red wine, this... very hero.

“It turns out that the taste of red wine is bitter.”

Thomas put down the glass and suddenly pulled out the phone. After a few clicks on the screen, he entered the address book page and hung his finger over a certain name.

Hesitated for a moment and pressed hard.

It was a number that had not been called for 20 years. He thought that he would never try to dial it in his life.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The regular ringing sounds like his heartbeat at the moment.

"Hey, who?"

The next second that the phone was just connected, a more mature than usual, but still a gentle magnetic sound into the deaf, Thomas's breathing slightly paused.

"It's me, Thomas."

Thomas’s voice suddenly dried up, and the throat that had been moistened with red wine had made such a hoarse voice.

"Hah, it turned out to be a primary school brother. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in contact. It’s been 20 years?”

There was a little surprise and joy in the voice of the phone.

"Well, twenty years, Aris, senior."

Thomas is silent in his heart. To be precise, it is twenty years, one month, plus seven days.

......

Once, he and Aris studied at the same school.

At that time, Aris was just a fascinating schoolmaster who was ridiculed by the classmates for practicing crab steps, and he was a naive elementary schoolboy behind Aris’s ass.

One day, he said to Aris: "Schoolmaster, one day, I will surpass you."

Aris smiled and replied: "Then I have to run faster, I will catch up with the elementary school brother, I feel very faceless!"

Thomas thought that if Aris continued to use the crab step stubbornly, then he would be able to surpass Aris sooner or later.

After graduating, the two of them joined different hero organizations and started their own lives, but the deep friendship made them contact frequently, often meet, compare the situation, and then catch up with each other.

However, the two lines that were interlaced finally separated one day twenty years ago and no longer intersect.

On that day, the twenty-five-year-old Thomas lost his right hand in the rescue of the meteor shower and lost his right hand with the gun.

The 27-year-old Aris, in the meteor shower rescue, raised the crab step to the realm of "there is no other world" and was praised as a genius that shocked the world.

After that day, Thomas could no longer catch up with Aris, and soon, even the back could not be seen.

.....

"Are you okay, can you?"

Aries’s soft greetings pulled Thomas back from the thoughts of his memories. He couldn’t help but smile. He lost his right hand. In addition to relying on the seven layers of Lingwei to kill some low-level reward prisoners, he could only experience the right hand in the virtual world. The false satisfaction, such a good for him... will it be ok?

"Well, it’s a good time." Thomas answered softly.

The phone snarled and fell silent.

Thomas gave a sigh of relief and suddenly said, "I called you this time because I met a little guy... he is like you."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Well, it is a Xia Guoren named Shi Xiaobai. He uses the crab steps like you. Oh, that funny look reminds me... think of..."

Thomas’ throat was like a fishbone, and the words were stuck for a while before he continued: “He uses the crab steps like you, and he said the sentence you said, he said he likes to fail... ”

"Then the hero is unparalleled, the seniors should have heard of it, um, one...the game that doesn't mean anything...I met him in that game..."

"Well, you didn't make a mistake, I was a dog abuser... well, I admit, when I got a lot back..."

"Schoolmaster, this is not the point, the focus is on the little guy, I was shot a headshot... Hey, I admit that it is not very interesting to abuse the food, you don't have to laugh so exaggerated..."

"And the focus is not a headshot, but he didn't quit the game... What? You said he is stupid? Yes, it's a fool... but it's not a general fool..."

"..."

The time passed by a little, and the two people’s calls had been going on for more than an hour.

Because of the various disturbances of Aris, Thomas struggled to finish the story of the hero in the unparalleled, he concluded: "All in all, I feel that he is very similar to you, of course, this may also be due to 'the world The temptation is just as silly, so the illusion is generated."

At the end of the phone, Aris listened to this non-malicious teasing and suddenly fell silent.

"Schoolmaster, I have been talking for so long, you always have a little thought?"

Thomas naturally complained that he had been sneaking for twenty hours, and he was supposed to be exhausted. Thomas felt that he was surprisingly sober and inexplicably excited.

"You mean, the little guy named Shi Xiaobai has failed more than a thousand times and is still fighting?" Aris suddenly said.

"Yeah!" Thomas smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"After being licked by your poisonous tongue for a few hundred times, you can continue to do it?" Aris continued.

"Yeah!" Thomas added a slight tone.

"By misleading by your pothole theory, you can also understand the essence of the crab of God?" Alice's voice was incredible.

"Well... what? What is the theory of potholes? Well... I admit that my theory doesn't sound very realistic... but practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and Shi Xiaobai proves my correctness. "Thomas can't hide the smile in his voice."

"Oh... you said that he realized that the crab phantom is also true?"

"Ok!"

"Is it hard to force you to make a ghostly virtual gun?"

"Ok!"

"The last piece of arrogant monologue is also true?"

"Ok!"

"Alien Thomas, ‘Well, is it the common language of your planet?”

"Ok!"

As soon as Thomas finished, he immediately became confused. He suddenly became full of black lines and said nothing: "Schoolmaster, do you know how old you are?"

Aris smiled and suddenly fell into silence. After a while, he said, "Thomas, you said that the child is very similar to me, is it?"

Thomas whispered: "Yes, he reminds me of you."

"You are wrong, Thomas."

Thomas stunned, wrong? It turned out that it was just his wishful thinking?

Aris suddenly said: "Do you know how many times I have challenged the teacher?"

Thomas stayed, he only remembered many, many, many times, but did not know how many times Aris had lost in the teacher's hands.

"Fifty-one! Only fifty-one!"

Aris himself said the answer.

Only fifty times? Compared with the guy’s more than a thousand times, it seems...

wrong!

"No, that's not the same. You challenge the teacher to be seriously injured every time he fails, and the little guy can fail once in a few dozen seconds, and in the virtual world, he doesn't have to suffer physical pain...he... ”

Thomas quickly tried to analyze the difference between the virtual world and reality. He wanted to show that simple numbers do not represent the weight of failure.

"I gave up on my own! Thomas, the fifty-first time, I chose to give up!"

Aris suddenly interrupted Thomas and said loudly: "I have always regretted choosing to give up. If I continue to challenge, I will fail a hundred times, two hundred times. If I can continue to endure failure, then I can get earlier. I will practice the crab step to 'Don't have the world'. On the day 20 years ago, I might be able to... protect your right hand... but I don't... reality is, when I failed fifty times Choose to give up!"

"Aris!"

"Thomas! I said that I like to fail... that's not true, I hate failure more than anyone... I can live with fifty failures just because I...who are more eager to succeed. However, I The limit is just...just fifty times!"

"Aris..."

"Do you understand? Thomas, that little guy is not like me, he...clearly better than me."

"Asia...in...s"

"Thomas, do you hate me?"

"Asia..."

Thomas had sobbed and couldn't fully say the three words, his left hand trembled and slammed his phone on his ear, so he lost his right hand, and no other hand could wipe the tears on his cheeks.

"Thomas, I have time to come to my house to sit, um, tonight, your cooking skills are really nothing to say, I let her prepare your favorite braised pork."

"Ok......"

"Oh, Thomas, you really are from the ah planet of the ah planet."

"Ok."
