My portable gaming girlfriend

The hook pierces the rock easily, and with it we climb up quickly, because there is no physical limit, and the speed has never been slowed down.

In the end, it was pulled to the top of the mountain by Villamia before it was swallowed by the light wall.

"Huh... so dangerous."

Now behind us is a whole blue grid world, and the borders are no longer spreading. In the canyon shrouded in the grid world, there are countless triangles, quadrilaterals, and pentagons scattered in the canyon, so that the shape cannot be described, and the area surrounded by the light wall connecting the sky and the earth. Objects within the light wall change form. The hard rock outside the light wall turned into a tree and a bunch of flowers inside the light wall.

The mountains are all distorted in it, and it is hard to imagine what will happen if the player falls into it...

Speaking of which, what is it...

I didn't expect it to be such a sight——

Looking north from this mountain, on the left is a barren volcanic area, full of cracked rocks and fountain-like magma, and a few large fountains merge into hot lakes; while on the right are cliffs, and the endless sea below.

"Is this the 'Volcano' map?"

"That's right—although it's not a very important question, I still want to ask, do you know what that blue light wall is?"

Villamia's question is also what we want to ask.

"The question is good, but we don't know. The only thing we can think of is that it may be related to the 'stop maintenance'."

"I think so too. By the way, I'm actually curious, why are you here?"

"..."

Ye Yin and I looked at each other. Veramia just saved us, it would be too much to treat her as an enemy, but it is inconvenient for us to tell her our real purpose, so we have to find a reason to get over it.

"We were participating in the auction on the airship an hour ago, and that's when... the boat capsized suddenly, and we fell into this valley!"

"The boat... capsized?"

"That's right...! Then I smashed the equipment and lost the weapon, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a mess."

Seeing Veramia's unbelievable expression, Ye Yin quickly explained to me.

"Then we knew about the discontinuation of the server, but why didn't we take the initiative to go offline? It's because we... We want to take this opportunity to practice skills! And such an exciting thing, no one will log off obediently when encountering it for the first time line."

In fact, Veramia in front of us also stayed in the game for the same reason, at least she said it was this reason.

"Yes, yes, only at this time will no one fight with us!"

"...Hahaha, so it turned out to be like this, you really worked hard. It seems that those two meteors are really you!"

The reasons that Ye Yin and I helped each other supplement and fabricate were actually approved by Veramia. She didn't seem to want to continue to ask the bottom line, so she passed this pass-I don't have any talent for lying, so it is always a headache when encountering such things.

"Speaking of the way out...you should have a way, right?"

I thought of a very important point, and there is one difference between Villamia and us, she is not trapped here, she seems to be actively looking for fun.

This "volcano" map located on the edge of Penglai Island has always been a headache for players. Fighting fiercely with monsters here is tantamount to dancing on the tip of a knife. In the game, once the player touches the magma, if he does not leave within 3 seconds, he will lose all his life; and even if the player leaves the magma, if he does not extinguish the flames on his body in time, he will definitely die within 10 seconds.

I don't know how many players here were not killed by monsters, but fell into the magma and were burned to death.

"Be careful not to fall in, or no one will be able to save you."

Villamia reminds us.

"I see, it's not the first time we've come here..."

"This is the largest and only volcano on this island, and there are many monsters inhabiting it."

"Yes, I remember a whole group of monsters living here—"

"call--"

Several dragon roars came from all around, and when superimposed together, it was overwhelming. I secretly screamed bad--

"It's the Flame Wind Dragon!"

Groups of giant dragons with brown skin, lizard body and bat wings skipped overhead, and the flames burning on the wings more than ten meters long seemed to wrap around red feathers, leaving a faint trail in the air.

The 'clan living in the volcano' I'm talking about are exactly them, and the dragon's roar is also issued from their abdominal cavity. These dragons view trespassing as a challenge to their own kind, and any species they find are destined to be torn to shreds.

——The origin of Yanfenglong is related to the history of 'Penglai' Island. The island is huge. Legend has it that in ancient times, the Eight Wild Dragons were exiled to this island and sealed in the mountains of the Scourge. The dragon blood that flowed from it polluted the earth. This blood is highly poisonous to most species, but it only mutated the large number of lizards on the island. After thousands of years of wind and rain, these lizards have gained larger size and the power to control the elements in the process of fighting for limited resources, and gradually become a new powerful creature, the dragon.

The Yanfenglong is the mutant race with the largest number of known groups on the island. It has the power to control fire and wind. Although it is not the strongest creature, it is the iconic monster in the "Legend of Mountains and Seas".

Fortunately, they are only entry-level monsters for advanced tasks. Even if we find us attacking us, Villamia with top-level equipment should have no problem dealing with them.

Ye Yin and I raised our heads from time to time, guarding against the attack of the Flame Wind Dragon, but Veramia had no intention of worrying at all, and walked ahead ostentatiously.

She saw our concern.

"Just follow me. These dragons fly on regular routes every day, and their eyes are not very good. Just take this path to ensure that they won't notice us at all."

The direction she pointed didn't look like a 'road' at all. It was covered by billowing smoke at first glance, and there were few rocks covering her head. It was impossible not to be discovered by Yan Fenglong anyway.

But they flew overhead without really happening, not seeing us or tearing us apart.

"I said, follow me for sure!"

Villamia showed a smug expression.

"Sister Villamia, how familiar are you with this game?"

"Huh? What does eldest sister mean?"

"I was wrong! It's Miss Villamia!"

What am I facing! The eyes just now are scarier than a mad dragon...

"I... have been here since the first version update of this game."

"Did that happen at the beginning of last year?"

"That's right."

"Sure enough... With your game ability and familiarity with the game, I'm afraid you are not the designer of "Legend of Mountain and Sea"?"

"Hey~ How is that possible, I just have more game experience~"

"You are too modest, more than a few, you are more than 99.99% of people."

"Not so many, there are many people who are better than me. When I first came to this game, I was very weak, because I didn't know how to read the map, and I often took the wrong route to do the tasks. Many times I got lost after receiving the lower-level tasks , and even ran to the monster habitat of the higher-level mission, because this died many times."

Villamia began to tell us about her gaming experience in earnest.

"Who isn't? I just entered the game and I don't even have the money to buy high-end arrows. I have to fight a 'big orange' for several hours, and I have to use the free iron arrows to slowly consume it."

'Big Orange' is a monster in tiger form, nicknamed for the orange patterned fur that covers its entire body.

"Pfft hahahaha~"

The guy hugged his stomach and laughed, which was too exaggerated.

"Sorry, I just want to laugh when I think of that thing's nickname 'Big Orange'. Well, but it's true, it's really hard to have no money in the early stage."

Villamia looks very heroic, but sometimes... I even start to wonder if this guy's smile is lower than ordinary people.

Damn it, when it comes to money, how could I forget that guy Shen Qing! She who casually spends tens of thousands of dollars to draw a lottery should not have this trouble, right? And the Red Queen...and I feel deeply powerless thinking about the source of this 'difference'.

"Hey... I just came into contact with this game and it was a fog. I didn't know what to do. Fortunately, I met a lot of enthusiastic players who took me to familiarize myself with the game and accept missions to fight monsters..."

Ye Yin answered in a low voice shyly.

"Those are not 'enthusiastic players'! They are just poor guys who think that an opportunity is coming when they see a beautiful girl."

By the way, besides Shen Qing, there is also a 'beautiful girl' like Ye Yin. If you think about it with your feet, you know that those so-called 'enthusiastic players' are probably not just because of their enthusiasm, but also because they don't want to drink.

"Eh? Big, maybe..."

"I'm a beautiful girl too!"

It is difficult to conceal the envy in my heart, and I sigh.

"'Also'? But Senior Shi, I'm not a girl..."

Ye Yin hurriedly defended. After getting along for so long, I know that he actually cares a lot about his friends' views on his gender.

"You are no different from a beautiful girl, don't say it!"

——Even if you know that he cares about gender, his outfit is not convincing.

"Huh? You... aren't a girl?"

Veramia didn't seem to understand our conversation very well, there was a misunderstanding... Fortunately, she didn't seem to fall in love with Ye Yin at first sight.

Ye Yin hesitated for a moment, but finally told her the truth.

"Although my appearance is... like this, and I have the 'Real Appearance' medal, but my gender in reality is actually male..."

"So you're a boy? I really didn't see it at all."

Villamia's reaction to this was normal, as if she heard 'a bottle of mineral water costs 3 yuan'.

"I thought you'd be even more shocked."

"It's not surprising that there are differences in people's appearance. Appearance has nothing to do with the heart. Sometimes a tall and stalwart appearance may not hide dark thoughts, but inside the coldest and hardest steel body, there is Wrapping the hottest heart."

She said it as a matter of course.

——Sakura's situation is unknown, and Shen Qing lost contact with the programmer. In this situation, if I was alone, I would be in a state of panic, worrying about myself and their safety at the same time. But the company of Ye Yin and Veramia made me feel that I was not alone.

Although it is a bit secondary to say so, is this the power of companions? In the flames soaring into the sky and the sulfur-colored smoke, I suddenly felt lucky to meet Ye Yin, who is not afraid of danger, and Veramia, who is enthusiastic, which made me firmly believe that I would be able to rescue Sakura.

It's a feeling I've rarely experienced in past games. The best memories of the past are all left in junior high school, and the shadow left by the indelible confession failure makes me no longer want to remember, even the so-called friendship no longer trusts, and only maintains casual acquaintances with others until I join Debug...

"Don't be dazed, look over there, it's an airship!"

Vilamia's reminder brought me back to my senses, only to realize that we had passed through the volcanic area unknowingly, walked out of the inspection circle of Yanfenglong, and entered the airship camp. Although there are no players in the camp, there are only a dozen NPCs still performing their duties, such as guiding the airship to park and selling consumables. And I was like a traveler trapped in a barren mountain seeing a road, and I felt a surge of excitement in my heart.

Purely in terms of energy, the energy needed to keep an NPC running is much lower than that needed to keep a human alive. These NPCs will only become static data after the server is completely shut down. As long as the server is not completely powered off, they will perform their duties permanently.

If they have self-awareness, will they really be weaker than humans?

"There happens to be a boat, hurry up and get on it!"

Villamia greets us. I immediately followed quickly, boarded the airship, and flew to the place agreed by Shen Qing together.
