"Mom made dumplings, Xiaobao!"

Xiaobao, who had just walked out of the bathroom and was wiping his wet hair with a towel, heard his mother's words. At this moment, the father of the family was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper.

"Mom, isn't it just a short time after dinner? How can I eat so much?" Xiaobao couldn't help but said with a smile.

Xiaobao's mother said: "Look at your child, you haven't come back from working overtime for several days. You eat the food in that bureau every day. Is that food nutritious? Eat some! Look at you, you are as thin as a monkey!"

"Okay, okay, I'll eat, I'll eat." Xiaobao reluctantly agreed, pinched his mother's shoulders with both hands, and coaxed: "My mother makes dumplings, they are unparalleled in the world!"

"Poverty!" Xiaobao's mother scolded with a smile: "What a mouthful you are. If you ever use it against a girl, your mother and I will live in peace!"

"Ah...Dad? It seems like we haven't played a game for a long time, right? How about we arrange the game?" Xiaobao immediately started hahaha and took out the chessboard from the bottom of the coffee table.

Xiaobao's mother put her hands on her hips and said, "You kid! Let me tell you something serious! What happened to the president's daughter that I introduced to you last time? There seems to be no news at all?"

"Ha, ha, ha, ha! Is there such a thing? Oh! By the way, I remembered it, there is such a thing..." Xiaobao laughed and dealt with it all the way with a headache.

It wasn't until after ten o'clock that Xiaobao escaped back to his room, and lay down on the bed as if he was relieved.

But as a senior cultivator, Xiaobao found that God's own bed actually felt strange, and he was stunned that he couldn't get over... After a while, Xiaobao felt inexplicably irritable and scratched his hair hard. Climbed to the computer.

I was surfing the Internet, gnawing on melon seeds, and scrolling through posts boredly to see if there were any new shows worth following... However, I still felt a little irritable.

Have you been playing too silent a game lately?

Xiaobao suddenly had such an idea. Before this, Xiaobao was browsing posts in a comprehensive forum frequented by gamers.

Search, blue sky.

Xiaobao subconsciously searched for this name, and then found to his surprise that there were unexpectedly many posts about 'Lan Tian'... Moreover, in the posts where Lan Tian often appeared, there were Qianyu delicate... as if they were being tied up. .

This Lan Tian is a real great god, Xiaobao discovered.

It first appeared in a game four years ago. It is known as one of the five players in the entire server. He is not only a super krypton gold boss, but also a skilled player. With the same equipment, he defeated a group of players. Liver Emperor. Qian Yu Xianrou is another one of Lan Tian's marriage partners in this game.

For more than two years, Lan Tian has played with several names, and has always used the name Lan Tian. He is also standing at the top of the pyramid, and his marriage partner is Qian Yu Xianrou.

I don’t know what happened later, but in the last game, Lan Tian suddenly broke off their engagement with Qian Yu Xianrou, and then deleted the files and disappeared.

After a period of time, until now, Qianyu Xianrou is still active in various games, and just like in Emerald Fantasy, Qianyu Xianrou has been frantically looking for Lan Tian.

"Here I go...it turns out it's not just Jade Fantasy, this Qianyu Xianrou is actually playing five games at the same time?" Xiaobao looked at the posts from different games and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. "This woman, shouldn't she?" Have you succeeded in cultivating immortality?"

Based on this situation, the good-hearted but boring gossip party began to discuss important matters about Qianyu Xian and Lan Tian, ​​two legends in the gaming industry.

It was said that the two were a couple in real life, but later divorced.

Some people say that Lan Tian is a nouveau riche who abandoned Qian Yu Xianrou.

It is also said that Qian Yu Xianrou is an empty and lonely housewife, while Lan Tian is just a pretty boy who fell in love with the husband of a rich woman and was retaliated against in reality.

Some people say that Lan Tian has left the game world, but Qian Yu Xianrou is still intoxicated in the virtual world and has been unable to accept Lan Tian's departure, so she keeps wandering around in various games, looking for the Lan Tian in her heart, unable to Pull away.

There are various rumors, but those who claim to know the truth are unable to provide real evidence. The true relationship between Lan Tian and Qianyu Xianrou is still wrapped in thick fog.

In the forum, Xiaobao also saw many game videos uploaded by players, including Lan Tian's battle videos in other games.

Xiaobao opened it curiously and took a look. He found that this blue sky was indeed a nightmare for non-Kryptonite players... His skills were really amazing, and in games with a combo system, he especially liked to create high combos.

Looking at Lan Tian in one of the games, he was frantically hitting a record-breaking number of combos. Xiaobao couldn't help but think of how Qian Xiu was at the mouth of the ice valley in Emerald Fantasy during the day, and the one he hit was close to 4,000. Combo non-human scenes.

It always felt as if two figures were gradually overlapping in front of him.

Xiaobao frowned, subconsciously logged into Emerald Fantasy, opened the friend list, and found that Qianxiu's profile picture was still lit, so he casually sent a greeting emoticon to him.

To Xiaobao's surprise, Qianxiu set up the settings to refuse instant message reception and not show his location to anyone.

As for Qianyu Xianrou... she's not online.

Xiaobao suddenly felt that this game seemed to be much deserted. Looking at Zhongguancheng, which had few people because it was night, he suddenly felt at a loss.

"Um……"

Xiaobao sat blankly in front of the computer for more than half an hour, then sent an email to Qianxiu, then logged off directly, climbed into bed, and fell asleep.

But not long after, Xiaobao got up irritably, opened the game again and went online, and then sent an email to Qianyu Xianrou before going offline again.

He lay back on the bed, hugged the pillow, and gradually fell asleep.

…

…

A hint of coolness made Qian Xiu shiver. When he opened his eyes, he even found that his eyelashes were a little wet, and a vast white surrounding covered his entire field of vision.

He sat up, stretched out his hand to rub his forehead, glanced at the time, and was shocked to realize that he had actually spent a whole night in a place like this.

His head was still very dizzy and even a little painful, probably because of his hangover. But after spending such a long time on the small bridge by the lake in the wild, Qianxiu sighed secretly.

How much did he drink?

Anyway, the amount of wine in the item backpack has dropped to less than half.

"When did you leave?"

Qian Xiu looked around. My head was too heavy. I just remembered that I met a fishing trumpet here yesterday. It seemed that after chatting about some boring and strange topics, I fell asleep.

The system prompted that there was an unread email, which was sent by Xiaobao. He simply asked where he was.

Qian Xiu took one look and deleted the past, then opened the friend list, looked at the only friend's avatar, drew out the operation interface with his finger, and moved towards the deleted item.

It's just that this time, Qian Xiu stopped as he immediately deleted those who broke into his side as he did in the past without hesitation.

He suddenly waved his fingers, causing all the interfaces to disappear. A bottle of wine appeared in his palm again. He unscrewed the cap and drank it regardless of the objections of his stomach.

"So you're still here?"

The sound of thumping footsteps came from the small wooden bridge. In the white mist on the lakeside, a figure gradually became clear in Qianxiu's sight.

He was holding a fishing rod in one hand and a basket in the other... It was the little fishing mage I met yesterday: lq.

"Do you come here every day?" Qian Xiu nodded and threw the empty wine bottle on the lake. Then he heard some crashing sounds.

It turned out that there were already many wine bottles floating on the lake. They remained motionless on the calm water. It was precisely because of the splash caused by this throw that they collided together again.

Did you really drink so much...

The little fishing mage sat down at the same position as yesterday and started to hit the bait on the hook. It was still golden earthworms... It seems that the little fishing mage had dug up a new batch of bait before coming here. ?

"Well, it's okay. I'll come over and fish if I think of it." lq said with a slight smile, holding the fishing rod in both hands, "Anyway, there is no time limit for this task. If you keep fishing, you should be able to catch it."

Qian Xiu shook his head, leaned on the wooden pile of the small bridge, and said calmly: "Someone encountered this task during the test, but it was not completed until the test was completed. In the internal communication group at that time, almost Everyone has participated in the discussion of this task and tried all methods, but the result still failed. If you should give up, give up, why waste time. Although it is said that it is only a limited item, in fact, according to the official description, It’s not something that’s absolutely necessary, some things can’t be achieved just by persisting... Why do you need to waste your time.”

The little mage pulled up the fishhook that had been baited, and continued to put the bait patiently while saying: "Maybe it's because I have more time, right? Besides, since this task has been set up and there is a preview of the reward, then It’s not like it can’t be completed, right?”

Qianxiu was silent for a while, "Even if there are facts and there is the final result of the choice, isn't there a situation in the world where even if there is a road, you can't possibly walk through it, just like if a monkey is trapped in an iron cage , and then threw it on an isolated island, waiting for its fate. Is there any other fate besides death? Even if there is such a situation that as long as the cage is opened, it can live freely on the island. "

lq smiled and said: "Then such a setting is really difficult. This monkey really has no other choice but to die."

"Right." Qianxiu knocked his head gently on the wooden stake and looked at the vast white field. "Not only is it too difficult, it is also too ruthless and cruel."

"Yeah... yes." lq nodded.

The two of them were doing their own thing. After a while, lq suddenly said: "But if, if a key falls in front of the monkey, wouldn't the monkey be able to come out?"

Qian Xiu chuckled and said: "How could the key fall? Is this probability several levels lower than a death row prisoner becoming a national leader? I'm talking about modern society, there is no such situation as in ancient times."

lq smiled and said: "You are really good at setting up such ruthless situations. But what if it still happens even in this situation?"

Qian Xiu frowned and looked at the little mage fishing. He pondered for a while and then murmured to himself: "In that case, even if you can come out, there will be only loneliness and loneliness waiting for the monkey on the isolated island. Then Still...death."

The little fishing mage put on a new piece of bait and threw the fishing rod out again.

Qian Xiu shook his head. He didn't know what he was insisting on. He really looked like an extremely boring guy who had too much time and needed to waste it in this way.

"The fog has cleared, it's time for me to go."

Qianxiu stood up... and was a little shaken, probably due to the effect of alcohol.

He looked at the little fishing mage and said, "You go ahead. After all, as you said, since it is a set task, there may be a way to complete it. Instead of the monkey on the isolated island, the result has already been decided. .”

"Well...if I can catch it, I will tell you." Lq stood up and looked at Qianxiu and said.

Is this... a send-off?

Qian Xiu was stunned, smiled subconsciously, shook his head, turned around, and waved his hand casually, "I hope you can succeed. But I won't come here again. Whether you can catch it or not is up to me." It doesn't matter."

He disappeared into the mist that had not completely dissipated.

The fishing mage then started fishing again.

Soon after, the sound of scripts and voices came from the bridge again, "Master, has anyone been here?"

So the little fishing mage... Boss Luo patted his side, "Don't you need to design a new algorithm today?"

The maid lifted up her skirt a little, sat down with her legs crossed, and said softly: "The algorithm is ready, just let Adam monitor it."

Boss Luo smiled and said, "Your efficiency is always so high."

The maid said: "Although it is Master's order, you can't let Master alone just because of this."

"Then come fish with me." Boss Luo smiled, threw out the bait, and suddenly said: "Just now, I was stumped by a difficult problem."

The maid blinked and said softly: "That must be a difficult problem."

Luo Qiu nodded, "It's difficult... as a human being. Oh, finally someone took the bait... Ah, it turns out it's just an ordinary herring."

Throwing the ordinary herring with the hook in his mouth into the basket, Luo Qiu smiled and said, "Let's eat fish for lunch, right?"

…

…

Lan Kai was eating breakfast alone at home. He had long been accustomed to facing a large empty table alone.

At this time, the servant rushed to Lan Kai anxiously, looking horrified, "Sir! Sir, hurry! Go and have a look!"

Lan Kai rushed to the room upstairs and opened the door that he always wanted to open but always escaped from.

I saw Xiaorou lying on the edge of the window, her hands hanging along her body on the carpet, blood flowing from her wrist, dyeing the white carpet red.

"I, I originally planned to come in to pack clothes and wash them, but when I saw..."

Lan Kai got angry and roared: "What are you still standing there for? Call an ambulance! Go!!"

With that said, Lan Kai rushed to Xiaorou's side frantically, stretched out his hands to hug her, his face turned pale, "Xiaorou... you must not have anything happen to you!!"

He just wore slippers and pajamas and rushed out of the mansion with Xiaorou in his arms, feeling dizzy.
