A Race to (Be) The Top - Chapter 83

Ling Xiaolu’s expressions ranged from astonishment, to surprise, to excitement as if he had seen a loved one who had been lost for many years, tears swirling in his eyes, almost pouring out of his eyes.

He rushed over desperately, his voice accompanied by crying: “Husband! I finally found you!”

Ji Meng:? ? ?

All the students around are looking over.

“This year’s new students are so unrestrained.”

“You have passion when you are young.”

Ji Meng was embarrassingly holding Ling Xiaolu in his arms among the curious crowd, nervously not knowing what expression he should use to respond to the gaze of melons eating around him, wishing to find a barrier to isolate this place from the world.

But even so, he didn’t mean to push away the opponent, letting Ling Xiaolu bury the whole person in his chest, and put his hands on the opponent’s back at a loss.

It took a long time before Ling Xiaolu looked up: “So I’m not dreaming! I almost wonder if I’m crazy!”

Five minutes later, the two people sat face-to-face in the second canteen. Ling Xiaolu couldn’t wait to pour out his experience in the past time to Ji Meng.

“The time I woke up was one week before the college entrance examination. I thought it was a game planner who was joking with me, but I didn’t expect it to be true!

“I actually took the college entrance examination again like this! Again! Do you know the feeling of the nightmare repeating? Fortunately, I still remember how to answer the questions, otherwise I would really be killed in the examination room!”

He said excitedly.

“After the college entrance examination, I went to the game store where I bought the peripherals at the first time. Do you know what the clerk told me?

“There is no such thing as “Elves Contract” at all! Follow! Ben! No! Yes!

“Then what have I been playing for the past few months? Am I schizophrenic?”

Ji Meng patted him: “Don’t get excited, you are calm and calm.”

Ling Xiaolu took a long breath and continued: “Then I will check it on the Internet. Guess what? There is no information about this game! Xinshan has never done “Elves Contract”, only various versions. “Swordsman Love”!

“Then I checked your name again, Zha Xinshan’s nephew, Zha Sister… In short, I checked what I knew and found nothing! There is no evidence to prove that my experience in the past few months is true! “

In reality, Ji Meng pays more attention to privacy. Neither the name nor the photo has appeared in the media. It is normal that Ling Xiaolu can’t find it.

“Then something stranger happened. I seemed to have experienced a whole summer vacation, and it seemed that it was only one day. I don’t know how long I have lived in this world. The point is, in my memory, For three months, I was doing math problems every day, until yesterday!”

Ling Xiaolu grabbed Ji Meng’s hand incoherently: “If my husband hadn’t seen you today, I would really think I was crazy. I made up a completely non-existent memory. No one believed what I said!”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry,” Ji Meng put his other hand on to comfort him, “I am here now, I can prove it.”

After Ling Xiaolu confided in all this, he felt a sense of relief.

“Great, I can finally prove that I am not schizophrenic. What kind of game is this? The holographic world in the holographic world, which world are we in now? Is this world real? How do we go back?”

Ji Meng couldn’t figure it out for a while.

“Are you… hungry? Why don’t you think about it while eating, it is said that this canteen is very famous in Yanda.”

Ling Xiaolu nodded vigorously: “If you want, I only feel that I really exist when I eat.”

They came to a window randomly, and the AI ​​staff greeted enthusiastically: “Classmates, what would you like to eat?”

Ling Xiaolu curiously asked: “The second canteen is so advanced, even the auntie is an AI?”

It can be distinguished at a glance because the AIs here are all economical. The upper body is a realistic human, and the lower body is a machine track. It is blocked by a window, and there is no difference from a distance.

Aunt Dafan explained: “It was also an ordinary human before, but because it was often beaten by classmates, it was replaced by AI.”

Ji Meng & Ling Xiaolu: “…”

Often beaten by classmates, how unpalatable is this cafeteria? !

They didn’t hold any hope, and asked for something casually. Ling Xiaolu also bought an extra bun that his aunt forcedly pushed. It is said to be a specialty here. If you don’t eat it, it will be for nothing.

Ji Meng stared at Ling Xiaolu, who was struggling with his head on the other side, for a moment. He couldn’t even imagine that he and Ling Xiaolu, who didn’t exist, could get along in reality in this way.

If this is not a inner world, but a real world, how good would it be?

He subconsciously stretched out his hand and erased the residue from the corner of Ling Xiaolu’s mouth: “Eat slowly, don’t choke.”

Ling Xiaolu agreed very quickly, but the speed of eating did not slow down at all.

Thinking that this might be Ling Xiaolu, as an AI, eating “realistic” food for the first time, Ji Meng suddenly regretted it. Why didn’t he take him outside to eat better? Why should he make his initial experience so simple.

Ling Xiaolu swallowed what was in his mouth: “What do you think?”

“I suspect that most of the people here are NPCs.”

“But they are exactly the same as the people I know! I have carefully observed that even the position of the mole on the corner of my high school class teacher’s mouth is exactly the same. This built-in game technology is really terrible!”

“But since you and I are players, there must be other people. You forgot that when we were in that game scene, we saw another NPC enter the game warehouse with our own eyes, indicating that in this world, he is the so-called player.”

“But the real world is too big, so if the player dilutes it in, trying to find out is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack.”

“We don’t need to find them out, we can also try to find clues, or key NPCs, maybe there will be prompts to guide us back.”

“I can only think of one sentence from the existing reminder,” Ling Xiaolu recalled the same sentence two different subjects had said to him, “This game has only one life.”

Since both people have emphasized it, it shows that this sentence is very important. Otherwise, why didn’t Chuya reveal other information to him?

“This sentence, I guess, is to warn us not to treat this place like a game, just casually seek death.”

“Who would seek death in such a real world?” Human beings have the instinct to survive, okay?

“But what will happen if you die?” Ji Meng suddenly reacted, “The company can’t let the player get involved in a dangerous path, even if it is the most difficult level, the first thing to protect is the player’s personal safety.”

How did Ling Xiaolu forget that Prince Xinshan knows Xinshan best.

“Could it be that when you die in this world, you will automatically return to the game?”

This idea is bold, but logical, but no one will try it easily.

“Brother! Are you eating here too?”

Ling Xiaolu looked up, Liu Yemei, peach blossom eyes, such a familiar stranger, even if it was the first time he met, he recognized at a glance:

“Xi’er? Why are you!”

“Who is Xi’er?” Chang Huanxi pinched his chin. “But this name is a bit good. I will call this next time I play games. Oh, right, who are you? Why do you talk to my brother Ji Meng have a meal together?”

Ling Xiaolu:?

Ji Meng did not raise his head: “He is an NPC.”

“Damn! Your disease is not healed!” Chang Huanxi exclaimed, “Do you still want to kill me?”

“You want to kill Xi’er?” Ling Xiaolu was shocked.

“I just want to see if he can refresh.”

“You tell me, is this person talking human words?” Chang Huanxi took Ling Xiaolu to ask him to comment, “I have been his only brother for so many years in vain.”

“I don’t quite understand. If you just want to try to see if the NPC can be refreshed, why not kill an ant?”

Ji Meng: “…”

Chang Huanxi: “…”

“Why are you so smart?” Chang Huanxi embraced Ling Xiaolu’s shoulders excitedly, “Are you also a freshman? From which college, I really hate you when I meet you!”

Ji Meng frowned: “Let go of him!”

“…You shouldn’t be my brother’s fiancee, are you?”

Ling Xiaolu hurriedly denied: “What are you talking about?”

Chang Huanxi lightly slapped herself on the forehead: “Why am I stupid again? I can’t be called my fiancee if I am married.”

Ling Xiaolu:? !

Ji Meng stood up: “I don’t think ants should be left anymore, just this.”

Chang Huanxi jumped out ten meters away like lightning: “Two of you eat slowly, don’t bother you!”

“Leave him alone, Ji Meng pushed the opposite plate,” continue to eat. “

There was only one bun left on Ling Xiaolu.

He took a bite: “I think…”

The voice stopped abruptly, and Ji Meng was slightly surprised.

“what’s happenin?”

Ling Xiaolu’s expression was strange: “No, nothing.”

He turned over the bag containing the buns and looked at the words written on it:

—The second canteen steamed buns, a century-old brand!

-Five hundred years of inheritance, the classic taste will never change!

There is also a line of fine print below:

-With this package, you can enjoy a 10% discount in the pharmacy next door.

Ling Xiaolu: “…”

Seeing that he was tangled while holding the steamed bun, Ji Meng did not take a second bite.

“are you full?”

“Uh… yes…”

Ji Meng leaned forward slightly and took away the bun in his hand with a long hand, naturally acting as if the same thing had happened hundreds of times.

Ling Xiaolu hurriedly stopped and said: “I have bitten!”

Ji Meng responded with an expression of “then what?”, and bit down the part Ling Xiaolu had bitten… his movements froze.

Ling Xiaolu said embarrassedly: “This traditional flavor seems a bit unique.”

More than unique, Ji Meng began to wonder, if he didn’t take it, would Ling Xiaolu plan to eat like this?

Why should AI have such a big misunderstanding about human food?

Ji Meng frowned and wiped out the buns that Ling Xiaolu had eaten. He felt that the eyes shot from the opposite side were almost worshipped.

Not only the opposite, but there seemed to be someone staring at him on the right. Ji Meng turned his head, and a couple at the table next door cast envy eyes.

“newborn?”

“…Hmm.” Ji Meng replied unwillingly.

“Did you know that the couple’s challenge circulated on the campus of Yan University, the second most difficult level is to help the other half solve the second canteen buns that he can’t eat.”

Ji Meng: “…”

“Then what is the most difficult level?” Ling Xiaolu asked curiously.

“Jump to Luoshan Mountain.”

Minluo Mountain, a famous scenic spot on the outskirts of Hushuo, is also a popular holy place for couples to worship because of many legends.

Ling Xiaolu and Ji Meng have both been to Minluo Mountain. Ji Meng went with his family when he was about ten years old. Ling Xiaolu Junior High School organized a summer camp and spent two days and one night in the mountains.

At that time, they were both young and didn’t leave a deep impression. When the two people projected the holographic model of Moluo Mountain, they discovered that there were many scenic spots that they hadn’t noticed.

This model is made by the tourism department, and the corresponding introduction will pop up when the finger touches the scenic spot.

“Hundreds of birds face the phoenix-a resting place for birds during the bird migration season, seems to have nothing to do with games.”

“Yun Zheng Xia Wei-the best point to observe the sunset, I seem to have been here and took photos.”

…

“Huh?” Ling Xiaolu clicked, “Look here.”

“Let it die… and then live?” Ji Meng read the name of the attraction, “The name is very strange.”

Ling Xiaolu went on to read the following explanation: “According to legend, in ancient times, a couple was opposed by their family members and eloped into the mountains-a plot of the old days-unfortunately they had no vision at night, and unfortunately both fell into the cliff. The family thought that there was no hope of survival and they were buried in empty tombs.

“One year later, the two showed up unharmed and claimed to have accidentally fallen into the door of another world. Everyone was amazed.”

“The door to another world!” the two said in unison.

Ling Xiaolu immediately connected to the Internet, and brought out all the news related to the keyword “Milaoshan was dead and then born”.

“Look, here it is said that this attraction is a challenge for couples!”

“In the past year, there have been as many as 63 incidents of missing tourists. The accident rate is so high, but it has not been controlled. This is unreasonable.”

“Here also said that there are about a hundred similar attractions across the country, and the common point is that the missing tourist rate is particularly high!”

“So these tourists are not missing, but players who have found a way back.”

Ling Xiaolu excitedly high-five with him: “This is it, that’s right!”

The transportation in this era is extremely convenient. From any nearby transportation point, you can take a high-speed flight to Moluo Mountain. Not only can you choose the foot of the mountain as your destination, you can even reach the top of the mountain.

The scenic spot is closer to the top of the mountain, and the two set up a route to the top of the mountain on the driving panel.

In the holographic game of the holographic game, Ling Xiaolu felt a little bit novel, and he kept looking down through the glass.

Looking at the back of his golden head, Ji Meng couldn’t help but want to touch it. It was soft, and the touch was exactly the same as in the game.

Ling Xiaolu turned his head: “What?”

Masked Ji lied without changing his face: “You had something in your hair just now.”

Ling Xiaolu believed that it was true, and he casually grabbed it twice, and a bunch of dumb hair was raised on the top of his head mischievously.

This is the first time that they are in the same small enclosed space in “reality”.

Although the temperature was good, Ji Meng felt hot.

The navigation showed that they had driven half of the journey. Ji Meng suddenly didn’t like this mode of transportation. Why did it drive so fast?

This might even be the only chance he and Ling Xiaolu had contact in the “reality”.

Why not take a sightseeing bus that takes three and a half hours?

Why not take a donkey cart?

He once again regretted today’s decision.

The thought that Ling Xiaolu would be bound to Li Zheng when he returned, made him even more irritable.

If possible, he really wanted to stay here forever, staying here, Ling Xiaolu, like a human, stayed in a world within his reach.

Ling Xiaolu yawned, his head little by little.

While he was dozing off, Ji Meng secretly slowed down the speed of the aircraft.
