Chapter 2364 The left behind during the long vacation

Real time AM09:30

S City, Red Constellation Club 2F, Restaurant

“Jiujiu!”

Hanmei, who was struggling with her thoughts while looking at the two pieces of coptis scrambled eggs in front of her, widened her eyes and looked blankly at her colleague who looked like a junior high school student but was older than her, and exclaimed in surprise: "I'm late!? ”

Because there was no one around, Jiuzong, who didn't need to tiptoe hard to make the soles of his shoes touch the ground, smiled and said cheerfully: "Meimei, are you confused? Didn't you work overtime for the entire National Day because of [Inquisition and Controversy]? Counting three Today is the first day of long vacation for domestic professional players.”

“So——”

Hanmei put down her chopsticks and asked Jiuzhong with a blank look on her face. Said: "It's obviously the first day of vacation, why did you show up in the cafeteria? I remember that you had already booked a ticket to go back to your hometown. Logically speaking, you should be on the plane by now!"

Ninefold Clamps A chopstick of cold isatis root was put into his mouth, and he said casually: "I have changed my contract to tomorrow night."

"That's not true."

Hanmei twitched her lips and said helplessly: "It's just an update. It's not like you can't play games in your hometown. As for just deducting two days of vacation for yourself? Can't we discuss it online if there's anything?"
 Kuzhong took a sip of deer antler and bitter melon soup, and frowned slightly: "It's so bitter..."

"Who told you not to run away? The old man thought we were all gone. This week's recipe is basically He rushed to eat our boss to death."

Hanmei glanced at the figure behind the window at the end of the cafeteria with lingering fear, and lowered her voice: "How about... Jiujiu, eat less, I will drive at night. Let’s take you to Xianxia Road for some Japanese food. After a long break, let’s not eat hard.”

As a result, Jiuchong shook his head slightly and said with a blue face. "No need, aside from the taste, the food cooked by the old man is still good for the body."

"This is definitely the case at ordinary times, but is there such a possibility..."

Hanmei glanced at Jiuchong's bowl of deer antler and bitter melon soup with a lot of wolfberries in it with lingering fear, and said dryly: "Although The old man who doesn’t say anything, but really wants to be a grandpa in his heart, is he planning this week’s menu with all the ‘intense ingredients’?”

Kuzhong’s expression froze and he remained silent. Putting down the spoon, her voice was trembling: "It's hard... can't you say..."

"It's a great supplement, it's a great supplement."

Hanmei coughed lightly and said with a twitching corner of her mouth. : "In the morning, I served deer antlers and wolfberry. I can't even think about what to eat at night. It's one thing if this stuff tastes bad. Are you really afraid of having a hemorrhage when you come back?"

Kunou shivered, and his eyes instantly became firm: "I'll pay for the Japanese food tonight."

"Okay, you pay."

Given that the income of first-class professional players is very amazing, Hanmei naturally He wouldn't be polite to his good sister who also got an extra salary as a coach. He just complained half-jokingly: "But Jiujiu, it's a shame that you stay so quietly. At least you can apply for two days of overtime. We have to work overtime with three salaries during the National Day holiday.”

Jiuchong, who was sipping isatis root, smiled and said softly: “No need to apply, even if I actively refuse, the boss will definitely find an opportunity later. The salary will be added back.”

“That’s true, uh, this is the first time I know that Coptidis Coptidis can also scramble eggs...”

Hanmei nodded, then looked up to the sky and sighed, lowered her head with a sad expression and ate obediently.

It’s not that the vice-captain of the red constellation knows the rules. The main reason is that she and Kunou are the only two people in the huge cafeteria at the moment. Even if the voice is lowered, it is difficult not to be distracted by the person behind the window. An old man who no one can afford to offend heard this, and Han Han Mei and the old man are still related. If she really wants to make the latter unhappy, she will be the unlucky one. Kujo doesn't like eating and talking in the first place, so the two of them finished their 'breakfast' in silence. He seemed to have fled to the common room on the third floor.

And when the two girls opened the door and walked into the common room that was supposed to be empty, they found that there were people inside, and there were more than one!

"Hello, vice-captain, hello sister Jiuzhong!"

The tall, handsome young man who is the main player of the Red Constellation Team 2 and named [Crimson Prince] in the game immediately stood up and behaved himself. He bowed obediently to Hanmei and Jiuzhong, startling them both.

"Yo~"

The senior professional player 'Scavenger', who also plays soy sauce in the second team of Red Constellation, lazily raised his hand and said hello, looking at him sitting in the middle of the sofa with his legs crossed. Virtue, obviously had no intention of being polite to these two nominal 'superiors'.

"Xiao Fei?"

Jiuzhong blinked in surprise and asked curiously: "Why are you here? I remember that the boss took you to see Mr. Xuanyuan early yesterday morning..."

“Ahem!”

The crimson prince who always goes by the name 'Yuan Fei' coughed twice, interrupted Jiuzong's words and said with some embarrassment: "What, the boss did take me back home yesterday, but I stayed for a day and then rushed. fly The machine is back."

Kuzhong: "...Eh?"

Han Mei, who also knew the Crimson Prince, smacked his lips and walked lazily to the former, raising his hand. Li rubbed the boy's hair and said earnestly: "Listen, kid, when you reach my age, you know that your family is more important than worrying about unnecessary worries about yourself."
 The Crimson Prince looked at Hanmei in confusion, and said with a somewhat awkward expression: "Well...what are you worried about, deputy captain?"

"What else can there be."

Hanmei rolled her eyes, casually grabbed a handful of melon seeds from her pocket, cracked them, and said leisurely: "Of course it's the large-scale upgrade of [Innocence Boundary]. I know your boy's performance in the second team. Yes, I know that both of you teams have heard about the reason why Broken Wind Bird summoned our colleagues, but this matter is not your turn to use your brain, or even your admiration for Captain Awakening Dragon, who has a lot of skills. Specializing in this kind of trouble is something that I, Jiujiu and the manager need to consider."

Crimson Prince: "...Huh?"

"If you can speak more clearly. Point, just——"

Hanmei glanced at the Crimson Prince indifferently, and her tone turned cold and said: "You have no qualifications, no structure, and no ability to think about those things, so hurry up and go home to be with your parents. I look upset.”

“Well, I think you must have misunderstood, vice-captain!”

Although his personality was somewhat arrogant, the Crimson Prince, who had always been respectful and polite in front of his seniors who could convince him, finally realized what he was doing and quickly waved his hands and said, "I came back because my parents are going to visit Guanghan Station. I should be here now." We are already at the launch base. Although they want to take me with them, this trip will take at least half a month, and seven days of leave is not enough!"

Hanmei: "...Huh?"
 "Although I can't ask for leave, I have no interest in that kind of visit at all. And although I am now the main player of the second team, I am directly AFK (AwayFromKeyboard/literally translated as 'hands off the keyboard', which is also mostly used to describe permanent Or if you are unable to play the game for a long time) [Innocent Realm] If you wait for half a month, you will probably be left behind.”

The Crimson Prince smiled and explained with some embarrassment: “So I did. I made an agreement with my parents to go back to see them during the New Year's Day holiday, so I came back first. It happened that the scavenger brother lived in S city, so I asked him to accompany me for a while. He would go out for a walk during the day and do special training in the game at night. , The stupid bird flies first.”

“Are you still a stupid bird?”

Hanmei, who knew very well that the Crimson Prince was extremely talented at playing games, said this subconsciously.

“Compared with the seniors of the main team, I really don’t fly very fast.” The Crimson Prince touched the tip of his nose and replied in a very humble, yet realistic manner.

“It’s not that you wait a moment!”

Hanmei, who finally figured out the whole story, twitched the corner of her mouth and said dryly: “So what you mean is, because I didn’t want to go to space with my parents, so I flew back to City S for vacation, and then I took the god who lives here... a very nervous comrade, the scavenger, as my escort?”

Outside the game, the scavenger, who was also unshaven, tall and stocky, and had a slovenly temperament, became anxious at the time and said in a loud voice: "What the hell are you just escorting?!"

"Eat, drink, and play with you" "

Hanmei choked the scavenger back, and then asked thoughtfully: "By the way, why don't you just take Xiao Fei to live with you since it's holiday now and I don't need you? Clock in to go to work.”

“Because the club has a holiday and asks us to take care of the food...well, even if taking care of the food is a deduction, we can still go out to eat, and the electricity, water, and Internet bills, I don’t have to pay for gas, I don’t have to clean the bathroom, there are free drinks and snacks in the gym, even the mosquito coils in the dormitory are changed by my aunt, and it’s less than 30 minutes away from the largest shopping mall in S City.” 
The scavenger counted about a hundred words on his fingers, then raised his head and asked Hanmei: "So why should I go home and live instead of staying in the club like this kid?"

Hanmei: "Damn, what you said makes sense!"

"Speaking of which..."

And since not long ago, she has been standing next to Hanmei listening softly, with a soft smile on her lips. The smiling Jiuzhong finally said: "Xiaofei, when did your relationship with Brother Shen Dao become so good? ”

“Uh, that’s it.”

The crimson prince, who had always disliked the scavenger’s habitual absence from work and laziness in training due to his seniority, scratched his cheek, feeling a little embarrassed. He said: "Actually, it just solved some misunderstandings, um, misunderstandings."

"Let me translate."

The scavenger grinned and said cheerfully: "After the game, this kid felt that what I said made sense, but he also felt that I was just talking on paper, so he insisted. Fight with me and get beaten to death by my brother. You must be honest.”

The Crimson Prince smiled bitterly and nodded. He didn’t feel ashamed at all. After all, he was beaten to death by the scavenger without any injuries. Yes, saying 'bloody torture' is actually an understatement.

In addition, after he returned home, he inquired about the 'Scavenger' with his father who was very familiar with the [Red Constellation], and after learning some old information, this immature new generation The professional player simply wanted to be slapped to death by his loud mouth, so much so that his attitude seemed to be a completely different person when he saw him again.

Of course, he knew that the two active veterans, Kunou and Hanmei, must know that 'Scavenger' was a certain legendary master who had seemingly retired, but since no one had mentioned it, he Naturally, he wouldn't be stupid enough to 'help' others poke the window paper.

"I see."

Kuzhong, who pulled Hanmei to sit on the sofa opposite the two of them, nodded slightly and said with a smile: "You two have worked hard."

Restarted at the other party's signal The crimson prince, who sat back down next to the scavenger, shook his head like a rattle and said repeatedly: "No, no, it should be the hard work of the seniors."

"You should take a break, just keep saying the same thing over and over again."

The scavenger waved his hand in disgust, and then turned to Kunou after the Crimson Prince shut up. He Hanmei raised his eyebrows and said: "So, are you two being retained? Or are you stupid and took the initiative to stay and work overtime?"

"I live in the community next door. I just come here to inspect the territory during the day when I have nothing to do."

Hanmei chuckled, then raised his finger and pointed at Kunou: "She is really stupid."

Kuzhong also Without retorting, he just asked the scavenger calmly: "What impact do you think today's upgrade will have?"

"At first glance, it seems to give ordinary players a chance to participate in that mission, but in fact it is In the name of 'troupe', the advantages of our clubs and studios are justified. Rather, it seems more like support. After all, 'troupe', a function that appeared in the last upgrade, has never had a sense of existence. "

The scavenger opened a can of beer and took two sips before continuing: "But you have to be careful, this will also push other players to set up a less formal, but potentially very difficult, party. Online organizations, guilds like [Battle of Fire] are weird in normal games, but in [Innocent Realm]...heh, just look at [Inquisition and Debate], ordinary players let us people The time for bullying is over.”

Kokonoe nodded lightly and said seriously: "It's pretty much what I thought. I always feel that this upgrade is the beginning. It will become a mainstream trend for players to join or establish various organizations. In addition, the Lone Ranger is not easy to mess around with... for us. It's an opportunity, but it's also a challenge."

"Also, consider hiring a part-time job."

The scavenger put down the beer can and raised his hand to make a 'gun' gesture. Pointing at Jiuzong, he smiled and said: "This game only Relying on 'game talent' is not enough. I think it's time to recruit people who study design to become tailors, people who study civil engineering to build houses, and people who study chemistry to do alchemy."

"We are already recruiting, but the effect is not good. That's great."

Hanmei sighed and said helplessly: "We don't want those with poor skills, and we don't want part-time jobs with those with high skills. Even if they are willing to come, the same money is almost enough to hire two high-level people. NPC, it’s difficult.”

The scavenger chuckled and gave a thumbs up in gloating: "Come on!"

"Dear piggy, kiss the soles of my boots, stop thinking, leave everything to me, the master"

The next moment, along with Xueyin's sweet and innocent singing voice, Hanmei's mobile phone began to flash at high frequency.

"Gan, I forgot to mute my voice during the vacation..."

Noticing the subtle looks from the two men, Hanmei immediately cursed in a low voice, and then quickly answered the phone——

"Hello? Uh-huh, yes, I'm here, and Jiujiu is too. Hey, I knew there had to be a meeting. What? Isn't it an internal meeting? Is there anyone else? Are they all paying their bosses three salaries for overtime work? Okay? Okay, I got it, Jiujiu and I will be there in a moment.”

“Tsk, tsk, both of you. Good luck.”

“Humph, why don’t you two come together? The manager won’t mind.” , there are other things to do.”

“What?”

"Pray."

"Pray for what?"

"Pray that the title given to me by the system after going online tonight will not be too public~"
