Although I knew that this day would come, I didn't expect it to come so soon…At this moment, I was in a high-end coffee shop, wearing my best and only suit, and Jiang Bozhong and his wife were sitting opposite me. This is the first time I've been to such a high-class cafe. If they didn't ask me to come here, I'm afraid I wouldn't come here for the rest of my life. Thinking back to how nervous I was when I received Jiang Bozhong's call, my heart almost stopped beating...
" Hello..." I was lying on my bed after being kicked offline by the system. At this moment, my phone rang.
"Hello, I'm Rouyu's father. My name is Jiang Bozhong…We would like to meet you at XXX Cafe at 3 PM.”A voice that could not be rejected came from the phone. He did not ask for my name. It was obvious that he had already asked someone to check on me.
"Alright." I replied readily. The tone on the phone that didn't allow for rejection gave me a lot of pressure. He probably already knew everything about me. If I rejected him, I didn't know if he would find a few people to push me in front of him. Instead of appearing in such a sorry state, I might as well agree readily...
I arrived at the XXX cafe at 3 PM sharp. Under the guidance of a beautiful waitress, I finally met Rouyu's father…the " King of Boats " Jiang Bozhong, who was worth more than 10 billion.
When I first saw Jiang Bozhong, I was stunned for a moment, because it was really difficult for me to equate this dark, thin, and short middle-aged man with the domineering voice on the phone. After I sat down opposite them, there was a long period of silence. The atmosphere became more and more awkward because we were all curiously looking at each other…After a long while, Jiang Bozhong broke the awkwardness.
" We are Rou Yu's parents…"
"I know, Mr. Jiang Bozhong, the 'Boat King'.”I calmly replied. The reason why I was so calm was mainly because I had rehearsed this meeting in my mind countless times (mainly because I didn't count).
" Humph! It seems like you're not as clueless as Rouyu said you are!" Jiang Bozhong sneered. He knew that Liu Zhiyou might have told him.
From his tone, I could almost confirm that he had already assumed that I had another motive for approaching Xiao Yu. However, I didn't intend to explain because I had already guessed their motive for meeting me this time. I also knew that no matter how I explained, the result wouldn't change, so I didn't bother to waste time with them. So, I went straight to the point…”I forced out a smile that I thought wasn't bad, bowed respectfully, and prepared to leave.
" Wait…" It was Rou Yu's mother who stopped me. She took out a check from her handbag and placed it in front of me." This is a small token from us. Please accept it…Please don't think that we're humiliating you. Consider this a little compensation from us…"
"Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand…five million?!”I counted the amount they used to 'buy' my relationship with Rou Yu and finally exclaimed.
"That's right, five million…I don't think you can earn that much money even if you collect trash for a lifetime, right?”Jiang Bozhong sneered.
"Not in a lifetime, even in ten lifetimes, I won't be able to earn it…It seems that you've really done a thorough investigation. Five million dollars…So this is what a five million dollar check tastes like.”I sniffed the check and smiled, but my smile was so sarcastic. " Five million…I didn't expect that my acquaintance with Xiaoyu would be worth as much as the first prize of the lottery, hehe…" I placed the check back on the table and chuckled before turning to leave. In fact, it's even rarer for two people to meet in the vast sea of people than winning the lottery…I wanted to say this, but I don't know if they will understand?？
“……”
Jiang Bozhong and his wife watched me leave in silence for a while. Rouyu's mother gently leaned her head on her husband's shoulder and said,""Do you think we did something wrong?”
"Although I have the same feeling, no matter what, this is the best choice for Rouyu…"
In the game…
It was another quiet night. The sky was the same night sky. The moon and the stars were together. Under the same starry sky, the same two people, the same silence, but the atmosphere between the two was different. Rou Yu and I lay on the grass and quietly looked at the twinkling stars. Although we were still holding hands, although we tried our best to make ourselves look the same as before, we were sensitive enough to feel that something was different about each other.
If sweetness doesn't grow in silence, it will disappear in silence…Rou Yu didn't know why she had this feeling. She felt that I already knew that we were going to be separated, but she clearly didn't say it ~~~ How did I know? And I was thinking, is Rouyu finally going to break up with me? Was everything going to end? Although I knew that this day would come sooner or later, I was still unwilling to accept my fate.
"Rain…"
" Ruthless..." Both of them had a tacit understanding to break the silence that had changed.
"You go first." I said.
" Ruthless, I heard that the game company is preparing to hold a martial arts convention during Christmas..." Rou Yu said.
"Christmas? Didn't you say it's the end of November?" I asked in confusion. I remember Fatty saying that the martial arts competition was at the end of the month. How could it be Christmas?
"The end of the month? "But the forum said it's Christmas…" Rou Yu looked at me in confusion.
"Oh ~~~ Maybe I heard wrong.”I smiled and thought that maybe there was a sudden change in reason ~~~~
"What I want to say is, can you fight for the title of 'number one in the world'?”Rou Yu's tone was pleading.
"Sure." I said without hesitation. For some reason, my intuition tells me that this 'World's Best' might be Xiao Yu's first…and also her last request.
" Thank you…" Suddenly, she turned over and pressed her lips against mine. That kiss was like a green dragonfly touching water,'disappearing in an instant'. Rou Yu went offline just like that…Other than the remaining warmth on my lips, she also left a cold' water droplet 'on my face.
After that night, I closed the communication bar and left the novice village. In order to fulfill my promise, I had to become as strong as possible. From that day onwards, I never saw Soft Rain again, nor did I return the ring that had been appraised to her. That was the first Gold equipment in the game ~~~~ Its name was 'Blessing of the Undead.' Other than increasing HP by 150, it could also increase the damage of undead monsters by 20%. It's just that my current level is no longer suitable for fighting skeletons and zombies. Otherwise, this ring could be of great help to me.
I brought along Little Armor, my Sundered Day, and sufficient items to the legendary Level 40 - 50 Monster Paradise, the Death Grassland.
In the depths of the boundless grassland, a 'human' was like a piece of driftwood in the vast sea, small and lonely, facing the threat of the giant beasts at all times…How long do you think a human's will can last in this desolate land? I stayed here for half a year. Of course, it was only a month in real life…In this half a year, I spent 16 hours in a highly focused state of mind out of the 18 hours I spent madly leveling up. In those lonely years filled with blood and pain, if it was someone else, they would have gone crazy long ago.
At this moment, I was standing at the entrance of a valley. This valley was called the " Wild Bull Valley " by the players. As the name suggests, the valley was filled with wild bulls that were more than a meter tall and weighed more than a thousand pounds. Wild bulls were monsters that were around level 45. They were only considered average monsters in the " Plains of Death ". Their experience couldn't be compared to the level 50 Vultures and Pythons. However, the players liked to provoke the poisonous Pythons and the troublesome Vultures rather than the wild bulls.
As the saying went,'Better to meet a lone tiger than a pack of wolfs'. The reason why no one dared to provoke the' wild bull 'was because of its terrifying number and geographical advantage.‘Wild Bull Valley, there were steep mountain walls on both sides that made it impossible for people to climb. Once the wild bulls in the depths of the valley attacked, they would rush out crazily. Even if ten thousand bulls ran wildly, the mountains would shake…just like now.
Rumbling sounds came from the Cow Valley. The sound became louder and louder. The small stones beside my feet started to tremble and dance. Then, a strong wind blew towards me. I held the Sundered Sun in my hand and stood there calmly without any intention of dodging. Soon, I saw a thick sand rising from the valley. Under the sand, there was a large group of wild cows running wildly. The speed of the wild cows quickly increased from a small black dot to a large one. When he saw the bison clearly, he also saw a huge ball rolling at high speed in front of it.
The giant ball was black. If I focused, I could even see the scales on the black ball. When the black ball was ten meters away from me, my Sundered Sun flew out from the ground, brushing past the black ball and flying towards the herd of buffalos. It was obvious that my real target wasn't the black ball but the herd of buffalos. The bison that was charging at the front tripped and lost its balance and immediately fell to the ground. However, once it fell, it caused a huge chaos among the bulls. The brother in front fell without warning. The two brothers behind it were too late to react and fell as well. As a result, a large number of 'overturned incidents' occurred among the bulls. However, the brothers behind them did not stop and continued to run. This 'overturned incident' turned into a 'stampede' again. Basically, all of the fallen buffaloes died in this stampede, and the one who truly benefited was naturally me, the one who caused this tragedy.
The black ball revealed its original appearance after passing by me. It was my pet, Xiao Jia. At this moment, Little Armor is already level 38. Maybe it's because pets are different from players ~~~~ I vaguely realized that his leveling speed is much faster than mine. As its level increased, Little Armor's body also grew bigger. At this moment, it was already about 1.5 meters tall when it was lying down. Including its tail, its length had already exceeded four meters. Moreover, it could be used as a mount. However, the scales on its back were too slippery. Even if it rode on it, it would fall off when it ran.‘Ball was actually a skill that appeared after Little Armor reached level 30. It was called Roll.
" Rolling " is to roll itself into a ball and ram into others. With its weight of over a thousand pounds, it would naturally cause a lot of damage to others, but it would also suffer a little damage. From this, it can be seen that this " rolling " is also a " mutual destruction " technique, so I didn't let it use it often. However, I realized that it was moving faster when it rolled, so I had the idea of letting it attract monsters. Other than its Claw Cleave skill, Little Armor also used its thick tail to fight monsters. Just like now, its long tail immediately tripped the wild bull that passed by it.
At the same time, the " wild bull " in front of me had also stepped over my companions and arrived in front of me. At this time, the " Sundered Sun " had already returned to my hand. Facing the wild bull that was charging at me, I calmly moved left and right, displaying my agility to the extreme. The " Sundered Sun " in my hand also brought up a large amount of bright red cow blood and beef. You must have guessed that this wasn't the first time I had seen such a scene, so I was calm and collected. Actually, this was the place where I could level up. Wild Bull had high HP and defense, and Sundered Sun's Lifesteal skill would put me in an invincible position if nothing went wrong. Moreover, farming monsters here would save me the trouble of looking for monsters everywhere. Moreover, I knew my own charm. If I were to lure monsters here, I was afraid that not many would come to me in a day...
Although I was quite experienced in facing the Ten Thousand Bull Rush, it was inevitable for me to get injured.‘I immediately cut off the waist of a black bull, its blood splattering everywhere, its intestines and some internal organs flying everywhere. Before that bull could fall down, another bull came up to replace it. Caught off guard, I could only take a step back. However, at this moment, the other head hit my right waist. The sharp horn pierced through my right abdomen, and then hit the bull head. The powerful impact of the bull head sent me flying again…I endured the immense pain and adjusted my posture. Finally, I managed to stand firmly with my feet facing down. I knew that if I fell down at this time, you would no longer have the chance to stand up. The hooves of the bull would trample you into a meat patty.
The computer is useless. I just repaired it. Please forgive me.
