After dinner, I was about to get up to clear the dishes when Wind suddenly said," Oh, right, Dumby, I almost forgot to tell you. Are you still in the Dead Spirit Space?”
Seeing me nod, Wind continued,"Xue Wuxia couldn't contact you, so she asked me to tell you that we'll meet at the Nanjing Restaurant after you resurrect. There's something to discuss.”
"What is it? Did he receive another difficult mission?”I asked as I cleaned up.
"You'll know when you get there. I can't explain it clearly in a few words. I want to rest. Don't disturb me anymore.”Ah Feng turned around and left, leaving me in suspense. Based on my intuition, I felt that things wouldn't be too simple. Perhaps it would be another big problem. However, even if I didn't have to look at the monk's face, I had to look at the Buddha's face. I couldn't afford to offend a candidate who might become the future Aunt Feng. This woman was already powerful enough, but now she was involved in Ah Feng's lifelong happiness. I had to go through a mountain of knives and a sea of flames!
When I resurrected, I called Xue Wu Xia over and immediately rushed to Nanjing. They had already calculated the time and were waiting for me at the Nanjing restaurant. This also showed that this meeting was more important, which made my already uneasy heart even more nervous.
When they arrived at the Nanjing Restaurant, all ten of them were present. Even Little Chili Pepper, who was busy with her studies, was present. They greeted each other and soon got to the main topic.
"Dumby, you should already know about the official announcement, right?”Xue Wu Xia went straight to the point, directly pointing to the topic I didn't want to talk about the most.
"You're talking about the World Hero Competition. So many people are talking about it. How can I not know?”The facts were there, and I couldn't give a negative answer.
"We've discussed it and decided to participate in the group competition. We'll strive to get a good ranking and get the winner's reward.”Xue Wuxia, what a good one. She was overbearing from the start, using the collective will to suppress me.
My original premonition had become reality. I felt extremely conflicted in my heart. I almost didn't dare to look at Xue Wuxia's eyes. I subconsciously tilted my face." Since you've already discussed it, I'll naturally support you. Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll definitely come to the scene to cheer for you. I believe that with the wise, powerful, beautiful, and intelligent Sister Xue leading the team, we'll definitely be invincible and obtain outstanding results.”I decided to do my best to defend my right to freedom.
Xue Wu Xia smiled faintly and continued to press forward," If we need you to participate and help us win, will you agree?”
" This…" I didn't dare to refuse, but I wasn't willing to accept it. I looked at the others as if I was asking for help. Ah Feng, who understood my feelings the most, didn't even look at me. He was chatting happily with Yun Wuying. Little Chili Pepper was looking at me eagerly. However, according to her personality and expression, she was definitely encouraging me to agree. The two people who were closer to me were already like this, let alone the others. The hope of finding external help was completely destroyed. Thinking about it, it made sense. They must have discussed it and formed a united front to deal with me. Wind has already betrayed me. Can I handle it alone?
"Actually, I also want to fight with you, but my identity is a Necromancer. Once I am exposed to the sun, no one can predict what the consequences will be. In the future, when I face the Church of Light, it is very likely that I will implicate you.”Unable to avoid it, I helplessly revealed my inner thoughts. Wind's target was the " Playboy." This was the accumulated hatred. Even if he really liked Xue Wuxia, this decision would not change. If he became enemies with the Church of Light because of me, it would cause a lot of trouble for his revenge. This was not my original intention, and it was not what I wanted to see.
"What is your purpose in playing the game?”Unexpectedly, Xue Wuxia didn't continue the topic and tried her best to convince me. Instead, she asked such a philosophical question.
I was a little confused. According to my deduction, Xue Wu Xia was not someone who would give up so easily. She would definitely think of a way to make me agree to her, but what was the point of asking this question? I was about to answer when I opened my mouth. However, I suddenly stopped. I clearly had the answer, but I didn't know how to begin.
The most basic goal was to use it as a way to make a living. I tried to earn money from the game to support my family like Wind had described. However, I didn't have any confidence in it. With my shallow level, could I really do it? With Wind as a warning, I didn't think that I could be any better than him. I still had some doubts about this new lifestyle. I felt a little guilty and was afraid that I would be ridiculed by others.
The other main purpose was to help Wind take revenge on the Playboy, but this involved personal privacy, so he could only work hard in private. It was inconvenient to say it to Xue Wuxia. Putting aside these two factors, he couldn't find a suitable answer for the time being. His forehead immediately broke out in sweat, and he fell into an awkward situation.
Xue Wuxia spoke up at the right time to help me out of the predicament." Different people play games for different reasons. Some people play for entertainment, some for their interests, some for their livelihood, some for their grudges…All of these make up the huge group of gamers.”When we talked about the grudge, I saw her stare at Ah Feng. There seemed to be a deeper meaning in her eyes. Could it be that she knew something? This was impossible. Wind would never tell anyone about his past. Even I couldn't do it, let alone Xue Wuxia, whom I had only known for a short time. Perhaps it was just a momentary illusion. This was the only explanation I could give myself.
Xue Wu Xia didn't react in any way and continued," Everyone has their own dreams in their hearts. Reality is too cruel, shattering the hopes of many people and leaving behind endless regrets. No matter what the purpose of coming to this virtual world was, it was to start over and show a more exciting life. The poor wanted to become rich, the rich wanted to develop, the weak wanted to become stronger, and the strong wanted to climb higher mountains. Because we were unwilling, unwilling to have or obtain what we had. We were powerless to resist reality and could only choose to challenge everything in the illusion. At the very least, we would not lose to the point of being crushed, and there would be more chances of success.”
These words might be a little cruel, but I had no words to refute them. She spoke from the bottom of my heart and revealed my true intentions. Yes, whether it was to make a living or to take revenge, it was all to satisfy the hopes that we couldn't achieve in real life. The relationships in real life were too complicated, and many things involved various aspects. It was too difficult for some people to achieve one thing, so virtual reality games became a good choice. Although we were dissatisfied with reality, we weren't mentally ill, and we wouldn't do things that violated the law.
Xue Wuxia's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if they were sparkling. I had the illusion that she wasn't persuading me, but expressing her beliefs and revealing her thoughts." If that's the case, why are we so afraid? What should come will come. As long as we work hard, whether we succeed or fail, there is nothing to regret. What was important was a kind of spirit, a kind of unyielding, unyielding, unwilling spirit. Without it, what meaning was there to live? What joy was there to speak of?”
The surrounding whispers had already stopped. Everyone was reminiscing about Xue Wuxia's words and was speechless for a long time. As the person in question, I felt as if I had been given a sharp warning. My heart, which had been silent for a long time, was awakened. The unhappiness in my life had completely worn away my heroic spirit. I became less and less confident. I doubted everything and feared everything. I didn't have a clear understanding of many problems. I let out a long sigh and felt my blood boiling. My heart was filled with excitement. Rather than living like this, I might as well do something spectacular. I would live as a hero and die as a hero. I couldn't live up to my passionate and heroic words in real life. If I could display my ambition in a virtual game, it would be a form of compensation.
I turned to look at Ah Feng, who was staring straight at Xue Wuxia. There was a strange look in his eyes, and his admiration for her seemed to have deepened. Under such circumstances, what else could I say?" Sister Xue, thank you. I understand. I'll join you and challenge the World Hero Competition. I'll let them see who's the hero if we're not the heroes.”
