If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

After that, the official recommended computer configuration chart will be released in an orderly manner. Players are asked to play according to the recommended configuration in the chart to get the best game. experience. The game is still in the testing phase. Screen recording and live streaming are not recommended for any actual gaming experience during the beta testing process. Players are responsible for any disputes or other consequences that may arise. 】

Lu Mingfei sat in front of the computer and looked at the official game website with a black interface on the screen with a complicated expression. It was said to be the official game website, but there was not even a place to contact customer service. It was still like what he complained about before, the update was supernatural, fellow fans. Urban legends web page produced.

"What's wrong? I see you're not in a good mood." Chen Wenwen sat next to Lu Mingfei. She didn't understand why Lu Mingfei still looked strange even though he had obviously won the qualification for that game. expression.

"No, it's not that I'm not in a good mood. It has nothing to do with you. It's just that I feel a little strange." Lu Mingfei recalled the call with Su Xiaoqiang just now. It seemed that the whole army over there was wiped out. This is not surprising, after all, there are so many People are also paying attention to the distribution of test qualifications for this game. It is normal that they have not grabbed it, just like they have not grabbed it themselves.

What really worries him is that Su Xiaoqiang mentioned that Norma's network assistance failed to grab the code. At the same time, thousands of virtual machines with different IP addresses were controlled to grab the code. The final result was that the whole army was wiped out. This is not Makes sense.

According to Internet knowledge, as long as the code is manually grabbed, there will be a time error. Even a simple simulation script cannot be grabbed manually. Moreover, now they are all protocol scripts. All steps can be completed in tens of milliseconds, which is such a short time for humans. It's been a while since the webpage has not finished loading.

In order not to be noticed by the game company and be banned, Norma even specially adjusted the local IP address and number of Bei'an to grab the code. Even so, he still got nothing. If you say that no one has grabbed the code, he will be more relieved. , because this means that this game company is simply playing games with people, and does not want anyone to grab the test qualification, but it happens.

But by accident.

Lu Mingfei didn't speak. He gently covered his lips with his left hand and put his thumb against his chin. He looked at the black official website interface on the screen without saying a word. Chen Wenwen suddenly saw that the face of the boy next to her was illuminated by the white light of the screen. It was as solid as water that I had never seen before.

Something is wrong.

Lu Mingfei felt that an invisible net had fallen, but it was not himself, but the people around him. He turned to look at Chen Wenwen and met the girl's eyes.

This was the first time that Chen Wenwen took the initiative to avoid Lu Mingfei's gaze. For a moment, she was frightened by what was floating in the boy's pupils, as if there had always been something in the deepest part of his pupils. , until now, until she actually started to get closer to the boy, it gradually surfaced.

Do you really understand Lu Mingfei?

The answer is of course no. When she really started to try to understand Lu Mingfei, she discovered that this person named Lu Mingfei was far more difficult to understand than the boys who were superficial and passed down from word of mouth. .

If it is difficult to understand, we naturally want to understand it, and exploration represents the desire for curiosity. The most dangerous sign for a woman to a man is curiosity. All disasters begin with a woman's curiosity about a man. They explore, long for, and try to understand. After she thinks she understands a man completely, she will fall in love with him and fall completely into him.

On the contrary, these women always ignore a truth. The understanding brought by exploration is often two-way, and when a man completely understands a woman, he will no longer love her, so stories caused by women's curiosity are always a disaster. .

"No." Lu Mingfei said.

"What's not working?" Chen Wenwen asked subconsciously, a little flustered, and looked up at Lu Mingfei.

"No, it's nothing." Lu Mingfei pressed his forehead, a little worried. Most of the people in the Internet cafe were intensely discussing with each other whether they had got the activation code for the game. The voices were loud and noisy. This chaotic atmosphere made him Somewhat uneasy.

When people feel uneasy, they often seek peace of mind. For Lu Mingfei, there is one person who is synonymous with peace of mind.

He took out the phone and dialed the number skillfully. He didn't need to look through the phone book at all. He had already dialed the number with his fingertips. There was a brief waiting sound in his ears, and then the call was connected.

"Lu Mingfei, what happened?" Lin Nian's voice sounded from the opposite side. At the same time, there was the sound of the howling wind and the honking of car horns, but those horns were always fleeting and had a long and blurry ending.

"Are you driving?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"I'm driving." Lin Nian turned his head and glanced at a Honda Civic that was swung past the rear window. The owner of the car was sitting in the driver's seat, honking wildly and cursing, while also making the international hand gesture at the Aston Martin's taillights. The car was really well modified, but the person was just a little bit inferior. If he drove it with someone with better skills, he might be able to compete with Lin Nian.

"We have grabbed the activation code for a game that is suspected to be related to the Nibelungs."

"Good thing." Lin Nian said, "Just keep following up on your side."

"I know, but listen to me, I don't think this matter is that simple. I'm a little worried."

"As long as it involves the Nibelungs at this point, there is nothing simple." Lin Nian interrupted Lu Mingfei.

While he was talking on the phone, he was holding the steering wheel with one hand. It was about ten minutes before he got off the beltway. He glanced at the co-pilot Li Hueyue, who casually helped him change gears and started to slow down the car.

"Why do I feel like you don't care about the clues we found here?" Lu Mingfei asked after a moment of silence.

On the other side of the phone, Lin Nian frowned slightly and secretly said to himself, this guy has a brain.

"I have more important clues here." Lin Nian tried his best to sound like there was no big problem, "It's not that I don't care about your side, it's just that the clues on my side now seem more likely. Continue If you follow up, you may be able to find the key points of the situation soon. I want to believe that you can handle the current affairs well, so I will choose not to interfere in your actions and decisions. Isn't the purpose of grouping the principal to be more efficient? Have you found a way to break the situation?"

"That's true." Lu Mingfei felt that something was wrong with Lin Nian on the other end of the phone, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Did you call me just to tell me that you have made a breakthrough? Or do you have other important things to discuss?"

"One thing, please wait a moment. It's a bit noisy here." Lu Mingfei looked at Chen Wenwen beside him, stood up, put his phone in his hand and turned slightly to the girl, "It's a bit noisy here, I'll go outside to call." I'll call you back soon, please wait for me here."

Chen Wenwen could tell that Lu Mingfei seemed to be in a very serious state now. The evidence was that the tone and demeanor when talking to her no longer had the same subtlety as before. This sparse and ordinary way of talking made her feel like she was Talking to someone else.

"Yes." Chen Wenwen nodded lightly. After receiving the reply, Lu Mingfei got up, picked up the phone and walked out.

After walking away for a while, he put the phone back to his ear, "I suspect someone is targeting me."

"Someone is targeting you?" Lin Nian slowed down in front of the toll station and waited for ETC to scan the license plate. He then raised the lever and held the phone with his left hand. He shifted gears with his right hand and started to accelerator.

"Chen Wenwen." Lu Mingfei said the key information directly, "I suspect that Chen Wenwen is being targeted."

Lu Mingfei's tone was a little heavy, and there was also a sense of shame, regret and worry that even he couldn't detect.

Lin Nian was silent for a moment and then said, "Where is Chen Wenwen now?"

"Inside the Internet cafe." Lu Mingfei stood at the door of the Internet cafe with his hands on his hips and looked back at the bustling and mist-filled room.

"Why are you two in the Internet cafe?"

Lu Mingfei was a little hesitant, but still explained in a low voice, "I was going to have dinner in the evening, and I was doing business in the Internet cafe, but she came over halfway, so we just went online together."

Lin Nian's tongue-tied voice sounded on the other end of the phone. It was not very refreshing. He didn't know whether it was about dinner at night or the two of them in the Internet cafe. "What happened? You will feel that Chen Wenwen is definitely being targeted." A solid reason.”

"Actually, it's not very reliable." Lu Mingfei's voice weakened.

Just because Chen Wenwen grabbed a rare game internal beta qualification, it was concluded that she was being targeted. Someone was targeting him, Lu Mingfei? Is this too self-conscious? You must know that Chen Wenwen came to the Internet cafe temporarily, and Lu Mingfei suddenly wanted her to register an account on her mobile phone to compete for qualifications. Everything was a random incident that happened on the spur of the moment.

"Forget it." Lu Mingfei stood in front of the Internet cafe and scratched his head. Now that he calmed down and thought about it, it seemed that everything was indeed a coincidence. No one could have planned and calculated such an outrageous coincidence, right?

But on the other end of the phone, when Lin Nian heard Lu Mingfei say the word "forget it", he said in a commanding tone, "Say it from beginning to end. There is no such thing as "forget it" when it comes to human life. ', since you are suspicious, then doubt until the end. Unexpected things are always due to lack of firmness in one's position and suspicion."

Lu Mingfei was slightly startled, and after being silent for a while, he briefly recounted everything about "Nine Levels of Ghost Realm" and what happened to Chen Wenwen today (the recounting did not mention that Su Xiaoqiang and Xia Wang were also qualified. He didn't know love thing).

After listening to Lu Mingfei's explanation, Lin Nian's brows were deeply furrowed because he realized that the clues about the "game" dug up by Lu Mingfei seemed to be more serious than he thought. It was even vaguely connected to the "battlefield" they were rushing to.

But at this time, he and Li Hueyue were rushing to complete their "golden ticket" for admission, and had no time to take the time to study Lu Mingfei's clues.

"There is indeed a problem. No need to doubt that you and Chen Wenwen may have been targeted." Lin Nian made a decisive decision for Lu Mingfei.

He wasn't sure what the whole matter was, but as long as it was suspicious, he would deal with it with cause. Now he couldn't help Lu Mingfei. The only thing he could do was to make Lu Mingfei be 100% vigilant and let him be 100% vigilant. Be prepared for all dangers.

"You take Chen Wenwen to find Su Xiaoqiang and the others. As long as you stick together, nothing can threaten you. Now that the qualification for the game that is likely to be related to the Nibelungs has been obtained, then you can follow the steps of this clue and wait until At twelve o'clock in the evening, we will test the game internally to find out what the problem is. And remember, don't let Chen Wenwen out of your sight from now on, and make sure she is always in your hands." Lin Nian reminded, "Since you Knowing that she may be targeted and there is a conspiracy surrounding her, you'd better take it as it is. No need to explain anything to her, just find an excuse to take her back to the hotel and protect her! "

"." There was no reply from the phone, but instead there was some noise.

"Lu Mingfei?" Lin Nian asked in a deep voice.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Mingfei, who was holding a mobile phone, didn't say anything. He just walked quickly back to his seat and squeezed away the people in front of him who had gathered behind other people's computer chairs and blocked the aisle. Before he could reach him, he stood far away. Looking at his position, he finally took a glance and saw that Chen Wenwen seemed to be still sitting there waiting for him. The heart that had suddenly been alerted by Lin Nian's words dropped, and he muttered, "It's a good thing she's still there."

"Fuck you." Lin Nian suddenly realized what had probably happened to Lu Mingfei, and he cursed subconsciously. Even after he stopped, he felt a headache and pressed his cell phone on his forehead.

Li Huanyue looked at him indifferently and felt that compared to an 'S'-level specialist, the man in front of the steering wheel looked more like an old woman worrying about thousands of meters away.

"In short, don't throw Chen Wenwen away. If she was dispensable before, you should treat her as "in the game" from now on. Don't feel any guilt and don't let excess emotions affect your judgment. Protect. Her safety and keeping her in peace before this matter is over is what you should do. You should be able to do this, right?" Lin Nian said, "Answer me, Lu Mingfei, you should be able to do this. Can you do it? Make sure Chen Wenwen is safe before I join you later."

Lu Mingfei listened to Lin Nian's words and took a breath to give a positive answer. But just as he took a breath, he looked up and saw a man wearing a bomber jacket standing next to Chen Wenwen in the distance. , leaning over and talking to the girl.

He saw Chen Wenwen shaking her head and waving her hands after saying a few words, as if to refuse something, but the man still refused to leave. He stood there very stubbornly, bowing his head and bending around the girl, and even raised his hand to take it. The cell phone on the girl's table was empty, and his hand reached out towards the girl's wrist.

"Wait. Shit! Someone is trying to strike up a conversation with her. I'll call you later." Lu Mingfei's hasty voice sounded on the other end of the phone, followed by the beep of the phone hanging up.

"Hey! I may not be able to receive your call later. Wait a minute, I haven't said anything yet." Lin Nian stopped talking when the Aston Martin got on, and turned to look at the hung up call displayed on the screen of his mobile phone.

He took a deep breath, held it in for a long time, and let it out bit by bit through the cracks in his mouth.

"Do you want to change the route?" Li Hueyue, the co-pilot, asked calmly, looking ahead.

"No, our side is more important now." Lin Nian put down his phone, clenched his fist, pressed it lightly on the steering wheel, and looked straight at the road ahead, "I can't control every side. I want to control nothing in the end.”

He stepped on the accelerator hard and the express train accelerated towards the subway station directed by the navigation system.
