Ji Lan, that is, Kang Lan outside the "Innocent Realm", is an excellent person from all angles.
He has a good family, outstanding appearance, smart mind and smooth character. In essence, he is also a person with fair three views and big rights and wrongs. He can be said to be a standard 'other people's child' , at least there are 1.63 feathered warblers.
Compared to Cordoba and Huo Yanyang, whose social circles are relatively normal (Mo Tan, Yu Chen, Ji Xiaodao and others do not deserve to be mentioned), Ji Lan has shown jaw-dropping talents since she was a child. With his communicative talent and leadership qualities, from preschool to high school graduation, he has always been the core of his peers. Not only that, he also has a pivotal position in many online communities such as the 'Hobby Club', and has been for a long time. He has been a core figure in his circle for some time.
Like all outstanding people, Hiran, who has both emotional and intellectual quotients above average, enjoys the feeling of being the 'center of gravity'. Although we cannot deny that a large proportion of this is caused by vanity, but There are very few pure-hearted people in this world, so his mentality is completely understandable.
However, like many outstanding people, although Hiran learns everything quickly, whether it is sports subjects such as football and basketball, art subjects such as painting and music, or editing, programming, and games, he is 'proficient' in it. He works very quickly, and only a small amount of energy can be compared to ordinary people who wake up early and work late at night for a long time, but he does not have enough patience and persistence to push anything to the limit.
Even in terms of communication, Hiran who entered the university campus is no longer the focus of attention. There are more people who are good at managing relationships, more charismatic, or who can benefit everyone one after another. Although there are still many circles of friends centered around him, when he suddenly finds that he has become someone A, B, C and D around a certain 'center of gravity', the worrying feeling of gap still makes him feel dizzy.
I have to admit that although Hiran concealed it very well, his first academic year in college was definitely his two gloomiest semesters.
Although he can join the main team of the school team by practicing casually, he can't keep up with those who are not as talented as him, but still love playing football and train day after day.
Although he can reach high ranks in popular mainstream games just by playing casually, compared with those who can stay up all night for a few attributes and spend half a month playing stakes for a routine When competing with friends, they will be defeated in a childish way in a short period of time and lose in a mess.
Although he can easily use the ukulele he just bought two months ago to receive a lot of applause downstairs in the girls' dormitory, compared with those who started composing lyrics and music early, he is obviously just a player who plays the guitar live. For someone who has hundreds of thousands of fans, his level of musical attainment can be considered a compliment even if it is said to be in the industry.
Although he was able to pass the exam without studying for most of the semester, he knew that he was not as good as those who could earn pocket money by participating in various competitions and could skillfully use more than three subjects. A top student who is proficient in language and has received a dozen or even dozens of offers before graduation.
In this way, after realizing the above, Hiran was lost.
Although on the surface it was not apparent that she was giving up on herself, Hiran significantly lowered her requirements for herself, willingly accepted the role of 'supporting role' and 'green leaves', and left the center of the stage. I became a front-row audience.
He fell, and he did not fall.
We say he has not fallen because we cannot accuse a Baixiaosheng who is both good in character and academics and knows a little bit about everything, because he has already done better than many people.
To say that he has fallen is because he failed to realize his talent in any field after all, and finally retreated before the foreseeable 'hardship'.
He knew he could play football well, but he was unwilling to get up early every day to do aerobics and sit on the playground regardless of the weather.
He knew that he could get full marks, but he was unwilling to deal with those annoying formulas, theorems and words day after day.
He knows that he can play the piano well, but he is unwilling to spend part of his precious free time practicing hard, and he does not like to give up the shorthand method to learn music scores, although that is not difficult. .
He knows that he has the potential to be a professional gamer, and he also loves e-sports enough, but for fun, if he is allowed to give up copying homework and study strategies and playing methods by himself, if he is allowed to repeat those boring operation exercises every day , then the temptation of 'sleep' will exceed the temptation of 'game' in a short period of time.
To put it bluntly, although he wants to return to the stage and become the center of attention, he cannot accept the price of 'going further', unlike those who must change their destiny through certain strengths, or who love something from the bottom of their hearts. Bi, who had no worries about food and clothing since childhood, and who would not have any pressure in life in the future, was too gentle and too impatient with herself.
In the end, although it cannot be said that there is no regret at all, Hiran still chose a more comfortable way of life. After all, even if he is no longer as dazzling as in the past, he is still an outstanding person with scores far above the average. Carbon-based organisms, even if they don't prove anything, won't be understood as "fucked up" by others, so they reconciled with themselves.
In his opinion, instead of working hard to stand in the spotlight and become a big star that attracts everyone's attention, it would be better to rely on his "natural beauty" to become an underground idol who can live a comfortable life.
Ever since, Hiran figured it out and continued to live like this. Even though his attitude towards life remained the same as before, he became more open-minded and added a lot of personal charm to him. point.
Then, the [Innocence Realm] server was launched, and then, he got to know Yidong and the others through his parents’ relationship, and by the way, he also got a gift like Mo Tan.
After all, they are all of the same age, their family situations (except for the gifts) are not much different, and their interests and hobbies overlap with each other in the "Innocent Boundary", so Hiran gets along quite happily with everyone.
In this process, he naturally became the core figure again. After all, among this group of people, Hiran is the only one who knows a lot about games. He not only knows a lot about this game that was born out of the concept of DND. Comprehensive, he is also a very experienced online player, so whether online or offline, Hiran is the most active one in the small group.
But gradually, things started to go wrong.
From the original east to west one by one, everyone transferred to Tanhua, City B, from the original [Innocence Boundary] newbie to a moderately experienced player. In this process, although Outside the game, Kang Lan is still a good brother who is good at enlivening the atmosphere, but his mentality has changed to a considerable extent in the past year. The most obvious thing is that although he He was always very enthusiastic about discussing the game with everyone, providing suggestions and help, but gradually he not only stopped contacting everyone in the game, but even rarely mentioned his own affairs outside the game.
The reason is very simple. He found that although these friends around him were people from the same world as him no matter how he looked at it, he was the one who couldn't do anything.
Outside the game, although Yi Dong hangs out with Mo Tan in the philosophy department every day and waits to die, his views on economics are actually very good. After everyone got acquainted with each other, Ji Lan also discovered that the other party has been studying business management and human resources. and marketing and other fields of industrial and commercial enterprise management, he seems to be ready to take over the family business. In fact, Jilan suspects that if it were not for Mo Tan, the unremarkable Yidong might have been a student in the business school. Dominated.
Yu Chen won’t say it’s useful. He is a big boss who doesn’t need to earn extra credits in a place like Tanhua University School of Medicine. His theoretical knowledge is unparalleled in the entire Department of Basic Medicine, and even in clinical practice. The experience is also No. 1 among the students in the same class. In fact, although many people think that because of this girl's character, she is the kind of person who is almost completely insulated from "bloody work", but according to Lucie, Yuchen has been working for two years She once witnessed a car accident on her way home from school. As the only person with medical experience within a kilometer radius, she rushed forward without hesitation to help the seriously injured patient maintain his vital signs. When the ambulance came, the girl His hands and face were already soaked in blood, and he was almost dragged to the hospital for emergency treatment.
So Yuchen is not the kind of theoretical person who cannot do clinical work. In fact, her own professional level is probably the highest among everyone, bar none. Gu Xiaole won’t talk about it. It is said that his resume in Japan is so gorgeous that he was born for archeology. Not only that, he is also a well-known R18 author in the ACG fan circle, although his main audience is Otome-oriented, but the few normal-oriented works have all received rave reviews, and even Yuchen who is not in the circle has heard of his pen name [Lele P (Producer)].
As for Mo Tan, Zilan couldn’t comment, but he instinctively felt that this person was very extraordinary, and after some fruitless investigations, he became even more convinced. This thought.
As for Cordoba and Huo Yanyang, they both belong to the type of culture and sports. The former is good at advanced mathematics, medicine ball, javelin, and American football (rugby), while the latter is good at botany, zoology, genetics, Although he cannot be said to be better than Hiran in anatomy, developmental biology, billiards and basketball, he is definitely not worse than him.
As for the game... I won’t talk about it, it’s uncomfortable to say it.
All in all, it would be nonsense to say that Hiran didn’t suffer any blow at all. In fact, he can be said to have been hit quite badly. After all, there is a reason why he is not as good as a professional player like Awakening Dragon. Thousands of them, but what if the peers who play together every day are better than this 'senior player'?
Leaving aside the glamorous parties like Ji Xiaodao and Christina, even Mo Tan, who has the weakest personal strength, is now a popular person who can stand alone in the Holy Religion Union and holds a high position in the northern defense line. One of the two great talkers.
Hate, there is definitely no such thing.
But to say that I am not envious or jealous is definitely false.
So starting from a certain point in time, Hiran's game style gradually changed. Although it was not visible on the surface, he had been immersed in catching up, hoping that one day he would be able to stand upright and stand up to his friends. It will not be funny and abrupt around them.
One thing to say is that Hiran is actually trying to get into trouble, but the reality is that everyone is competing against each other, and it is simply impossible to keep a stable mentality.
And his efforts will naturally be fruitless. His rich game experience coupled with excellent talent, and his ability to almost never leave the rankings are the answer he got out of the corner.
Strong?
The answer is, very strong!
Then, is it strong enough?
The answer is——
……
[It’s still far from it. 】
Seeing 'Hanguang''s body suddenly falling into pieces after being pierced by sharp arrows, Zhou Lan shook his head with a bitter smile, and then no longer hid his figure, he jumped out and threw out several flying blades, directly Completely destroying the 'broken limbs and severed arms' that rushed towards him after the puppet exploded.
Immediately afterwards, two bat-like metal puppets swooped down from above their heads, and when they were less than three meters above the ground, they exploded into two iron nets, directly covering the person who had just landed. Hiran.
[Wind Pressed Arrow]
With his backhand, he pulled out a magic arrow from the quiver on his shoulder. He drew the bow and arrow without hesitation. The two iron nets were only ten centimeters away from him. When he couldn't reach it, he threw it away and jumped back at the same time, avoiding the two sharp blades that broke out of the ground under his feet by a hair's breadth.
"Sandworm..."
Hiran frowned as he recognized the prototype of the underground puppet, and then jumped straight up without any foothold. In the next moment, a whole body was composed of some kind of black metal and a small amount of wooden structure, full of mechanical texture and The ferocious-looking 'giant insect' burst out of the ground and bit Hiran with its mouthparts studded with sharp blades.
Immediately afterwards, a series of roaring sounds sounded under the giant insect, but several fires spread out along with shock waves visible to the naked eye, and the [Sandworm] puppet, whose joints were suddenly hit hard by the explosion trap, collapsed. , and Zhou Lan gently stepped on the head of the very ferocious-looking insect, used the force to fly out diagonally, and fired three more arrows in mid-air, sniping three enemies dozens of meters away. A self-destructing specialized simple puppet.
[Listen to the Wind]
Half-crouching on an ancient branch nearly ten meters above the ground, Zhou Lan wiped the sweat with her left hand that was holding the long bow [Wanling] tightly, and pointed His right hand holding two feather arrows was pressed to his ear, his brows furrowed.
An imperceptible breeze blew by his ears, pouring out thin hostility and murderous intent.
The source is——
From all directions...from all directions?
【! ! ! 】
A thin cloud floated by, and Hiran's pupils suddenly shrank. Just as he was about to use his strength to escape, he found that the surrounding area was covered with thin lines that were almost indistinguishable to the naked eye under the sun——< br>
Sparkling with a cold light.
