Chapter 717 Wanqing
In the lobby of the Federal Triple A Hotel.
After Ji Xiaoyan and the others had almost talked about the matter, the old man took his grandson home directly, leaving only the middle-aged woman to follow Ji Xiaoyan to the Federal Triple A Hotel. in the hall, and then found a sofa in a relatively hidden corner of the hall, sitting quietly waiting for the arrival of the two brothers.
The middle-aged woman looked at the flow of people coming and going in the hotel lobby with some embarrassment. She moved uneasily. She wanted to ask Ji Xiaoyan how long she needed to wait several times, but she heard the voice in the lobby. There was no sound at all, so she had to swallow all the words. She didn't want Ji Xiaoyan, her little benefactor, to be embarrassed by her.
Ji Xiaoyan looked at the uneasy look of the middle-aged woman and smiled slightly. Then he asked Yu Qisi to go to the waiter and ask for something to drink. After that, he casually chatted with the middle-aged woman. It’s time to get started. So, while chatting, Ji Xiaoyan naturally learned about the middle-aged woman's family situation.
The middle-aged woman's name is Wan Qing, and she is the old man's daughter-in-law. The child is her son, and his name is Lu Xiaoyu. Her husband is Lu Heng, an explorer who travels outside residential areas. A profession that hunts mutant beasts to support the family. In the past few years, Lu Heng and others organized a hunting team to hunt mutant beasts. Their family's life was pretty good and comfortable. However, just three years ago, during a trip, Lu Heng and his hunting team were outside. They encountered several relatively powerful mutant beasts near the area, and an accident caused the entire army to be wiped out, and then their family's source of livelihood was completely cut off.
If ordinary residents or explorers who have reported to the federal government are killed by mutant beasts, then the federal government can provide some subsidies or something to help the residents continue to live. . But for black teams like Lu Heng and others who organize their own hunting teams to hunt mutant beasts and do not report to the federal government, people will die when they die, and the federal government will not provide any subsidies or pensions! Why? What is a black team? The black team kills the mutant beasts by themselves and then sells the things without paying taxes to the federal government. That is the black team.
You only know how to make money and don’t pay taxes. Why do you want federal government pensions after you fail? !
So, after Lu Heng died, Wanqing’s family’s backbone and source of income were completely gone. The family’s previous savings also saw them being consumed bit by bit over time. For Wanqing’s sake, To support the family, I have done all kinds of hard work, but I still can't sustain the consumption of the family. Why should the elderly and children be weak and prone to illness? During those most difficult days, Wan Qing didn't know how he survived.
Later, after the [Qi] game was launched, her mother-in-law once went to borrow money from a relative of the Lu family. She heard from their children that this game could make money, and asked in detail After asking about the situation, I returned home, discussed it with Wan Qing, and then found many people who had played the game to investigate carefully. Then I made up my mind to borrow money and bought a game connection bracelet, which Wan Qing could use. Cleared the game.
This is the only opportunity for their family to increase their income, and it is also an opportunity for Wanqing to relax and have a good rest every day.
During the day, Wan Qing continues her usual part-time job, and at night she can play games to find ways to make money while having a good rest through games. This is also the main reason why Wanqing's mother-in-law is willing to borrow so much money to buy a game adapter so that Wanqing can play games. Doesn’t she know how lucky it is for her daughter-in-law to support her family? She feels distressed too!
And Wanqing lived up to her mother-in-law's expectations. Although she couldn't make a lot of money in the game, she accumulated a little and gradually stopped working during the day. Make money by playing games directly at home. After one year, their family's debts have been paid off a lot, and their family's life has improved a lot! This kind of life is actually really good! As long as they continue slowly, it is not impossible for their family to become well-off.
It’s just that life is not so smooth sailing.
So, when Wan Qing was very lucky and secretly formed a team with a player, he got a smelly and long task ring that was like an old woman's foot wrap. This task cycle is very troublesome. According to Wan Qing's own calculations, he has to do at least ten tasks every day, and he has to do this task for several months. It is conceivable that ordinary players really can't persist! Just like Wan Qing’s teammate!
The reason why Wan Qing persisted was not only because she was very likely to be rewarded with high-level props after completing the task ring, and she could get more gold coins in exchange for federal coins, but also because every time she handed in a task, she would , she can get those sporadic copper and silver coin rewards. Calculated, in addition to the consumption in the game, she can earn dozens to hundreds of federal coins a day to maintain her life and pay off her debts.
So, this task cycle that lasted for several months was completed by Wan Qing with her strong will.
If this is just the case, if the mission cycle is completed, she gets high-level props, and then sells them for federal coins, and if everything goes smoothly, then that's it. However, Wanqing is very unlucky! The team member who had taken over the mission together didn't know if he had a brain convulsion. Just when Wan Qing completed all the missions and happily rushed to the NPC to get the reward, that teammate also appeared. And his appearance was not because he knew that Wan Qing had completed the mission and came here specifically to watch the fun. He had just joined an informal gang, and the players in the gang knew that he had accepted a mission ring, so he was encouraged to come. Keep doing the mission and want to get the final ultimate reward.
Two acquaintances met under such circumstances.
The player originally wanted to say hello to Wan Qing, ask the NPC to accept the quest items from his previous quest, and then give him a new quest. Who knows, before he could speak, the NPC directly received Wan Qing with a smile, and then told him that the mission ring he had accepted with Wan Qing had been completed by Wan Qing. Since he was in the mission ring The contribution is too small and continues to The time was too short, so he did not get the chance to continue the task. Moreover, the NPC confiscated several props plus a level one for the reason that he had no integrity and gave up halfway, which made him, the task publisher, sad. Experience as punishment. I didn't receive the mission, but instead had my experience and props confiscated. No one can accept this! However, who can resist the NPC's behavior? Persimmons can only be picked up when they are soft, so this player instantly transferred his hatred to Wan Qing! If she hadn't completed the task, would he have been punished by the NPC?
Coupled with the endless fantasies of the players about the final reward of the mission ring, this player watched with envy as Wan Qing silently took something from the NPC and put it in the bag. After rolling his eyes, He followed Wan Qing out of the NPC's hut, and then stopped Wan Qing directly and demanded compensation from her.
The rest is simple. On the one hand, Wan Qing was unwilling to give the player money for no reason, and on the other hand, the player led a group of gang players to stop him and prevent Wan Qing from playing the game properly. In addition, the final reward of the mission ring that Wan Qing got was a huge fortune from the gang building order. If it was exposed, it would be beyond words. And if she leaked the news easily, it would lead to trouble. If more forces come to pursue him, the grievances in the game may be involved in real life, so in the end, Wan Qing can only slowly disappear in the game.
"So, you haven't played a game for a long time?" Ji Xiaoyan looked at Wan Qing in surprise and asked.
"Yes! I only go up occasionally to take a look, but every time I go online, I will be discovered soon!" Wan Qing nodded, then smiled bitterly and said: "I always thought they wouldn't be able to stay in the game for long. , after such a long time, I have the opportunity to kill monsters and do some tasks to exchange for some federal coins to live. I didn’t expect that after so long, they still won’t give up..."
Ji Xiaoyan nodded silently and sighed in his heart: Life is not easy for anyone nowadays!
"It's okay, it will be fine in the future!" Yu Qisi comforted Wan Qing. Her impression of the woman in front of her had completely changed. What a strong woman this is!
"Yes, if the business is really concluded, you will have someone to protect you in the southern continent from now on, so you don't have to worry anymore!" Ji Xiaoyan smiled at Wan Qing, and then said, I want to give some encouragement and comfort to the elder sister in front of me.
"That doesn't matter!" Wan Qing smiled gratefully at Ji Xiaoyan, and then said: "As long as I sell that thing, I don't have to play games! With money, I can I can live a good life with my mother and children! I’m not keen on games!”
Ji Xiaoyan was stunned and could only smile. She began to reflect in her heart, should she also learn from Wan Qing's open-mindedness? Now that she has money, does that mean she can just withdraw from the game and use her money to start a small business, or just live a leisurely life?
But what should we do with Brick, Yu Mo, and Jia Jia in the game? There are also Grandpa Dilock who gave her endless care and help when she first entered the game. She has not seen them for a long time, as well as the many NPCs and player friends she knows in the game... Can she let go of them? ?
Ji Xiaoyan fell into deep thought in a trance.
So, when Yan Feiliuli and Yunteng Wanli walked into the Federal Triple-A Hotel with smiles on their faces and found Ji Xiaoyan and the others, they saw the three of them sitting on the sofa in silence. , the atmosphere is very dull!
PS: Thanks to "Empress Shiji" for the mooncakes! whee! By the way, did everyone have a comfortable Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day?
