Chapter 79 Before the War
While Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao were living in their own world, Hengfang and his wife were shopping in the mall.
"This is the most prosperous commercial complex in the city. Is it so deserted now?" Hengfang and his wife were strolling around, looking up at the flow of people in the mall, "Those selling gold and jewelry , It feels like there are more salespeople than customers.”
My wife also looked at it: “Since the virtual world opened, fewer and fewer people come out at night. After get off work, most of them enter the virtual world.”
Heng Fang nodded slightly: “Yes, now the sales are also live in the virtual world. In the virtual world, you can try on clothes at will. You can find whatever kind of clothes you want! It’s convenient and not tiring. In reality, shopping is time-consuming and there are few things to see.”
"Look over there." The wife pointed to several areas of the mall, which were all covered and closed. "Those are all closed. Now many tenants have canceled their leases. The virtual world has only been open for more than a month and it has such a big impact... I think that in half a year, there will be far fewer merchants in the mall than now."
"If it continues to be deserted, the mall will have to close," Heng Fang said.
“It won’t be affected by the closure. You can order takeout for meals. They are all first-class chain restaurants, and the chefs are all top professional robots.” The wife said, “Some entertainment enjoyment is much cheaper in the virtual world. "
"Cherish the mall in front of you, it will become a memory in the future." Heng Fang sighed.
This is the trend of the times. Originally, some Internet companies were impacted, but now the real industry is also impacted in all aspects. Those who sell goods have also moved to the virtual world. The cost of selling goods there is lower and there are more customers.
...
"You are eating so slowly? It's been half an hour! You haven't finished eating yet!" Liu Chongyuan, who was as strong as a bear, was roaring at his three daughters, "I am as young as you. At that time, we finished eating voraciously. You chatted so much during the meal. Don’t you know that you didn’t talk during the meal?”
The three daughters lowered their heads and ate slowly.
"Boss, isn't it just a piece of meat? Can you chew it up and finish it in one bite? This piece of meat has been in your bowl for ten minutes. How many times have you chewed it and half of it hasn't been eaten yet?" Liu Chongyuan Staring at the eldest daughter.
"The meat is a bit hard." The eldest daughter whispered.
"And second brother, look at it, look at how many rice grains you have on the table! Did you leak something from your mouth? Clean it up quickly!" Liu Chongyuan roared.
"Oh." The second daughter picked up a tissue and wiped it.
“One tissue is enough, can you not waste it?” Liu Chongyuan was so angry that his veins were pulsing. He turned to stare at his third daughter, “Third, don’t laugh! You eat the slowest.”
“Dad, I have some headaches Dizzy." The third daughter covered her head, "Maybe she got heatstroke from exercising during the day."
"You have already practiced the evolution method, but you still have heatstroke?" Liu Chongyuan said, "Hand out! Raise a ruler aside.
"Mom!!!" the third daughter shouted immediately.
The mother in the distance looked at the screen and the news, very calmly, and said casually: "Don't call me, your dad is in charge of your food today, I don't care about anything!"
"Bah, bang, bang!" Liu Chongyuan grabbed the palm of his third daughter with one hand and pumped it with the other, "Let you lie again, let you lie again!"
Eight minutes later.
“Let’s go to the virtual world!” The three daughters immediately went to their rooms.
Liu Chongyuan came to the living room as if exhausted.
"I'm so tired. Watching them eat one meal is more tiring than playing ten battles." Liu Chongyuan sat there.
"Don't worry, it will be fine when the children are older." My wife comforted me.
"Why are there only three born? One of them gives me a headache. Three...where is my father's little cotton-padded jacket, there are three big mountains." Liu Chongyuan lamented.
The wife said helplessly: "How do I know, how could I have three babies in one belly?"
"Also, I'm going to look at a house at home." Liu Chongyuan said, "Hurry up and move to a bigger house. The three little girls are chattering and my head hurts. I will buy a better housekeeper robot to help take care of the children."
The wife immediately became excited: "Are you rich?"
"Come soon, as soon as the game is over, I'll get the bonus." Liu Chongyuan thought of the bonus and said happily, "At least 10,000,000 bonus, and if I make it to the finals, the bonus will be even higher! , I will win simply by lying down!”
“You have to work hard and don’t hold back,” said the wife.
“Don’t worry, I’m working hard too.” Liu Chongyuan said.
"Today's semifinals, are you confident?" my wife asked.
"Well..." Liu Chongyuan had a headache, "Senior Lei Yunfang is still a bit scary."
...
"Three-digit addition and subtraction for you By the way, two-digit addition and subtraction "You're wrong?" Yang Qingshuo looked at his son, "Yang Tao! What's wrong with you? You can calculate 18 plus 3 wrongly?"
"It's a trick! "Yeah." Yang Tao lowered his head.
"Double-digit addition and subtraction, do one hundred questions. If you don't finish it, you are not allowed to enter the virtual world." Yang Qingshuo said.
"Oh." Yang Tao hugged his father and leaned against him, "Dad, don't be angry, I will do it seriously."
Yang Qingshuo gently touched his son's head.
"Xiao Shuo, I heard you yelling in the house, teach your children to be patient." Mother Yang came out.
"Mom, help me take Tao Tao with me. I'm going to the virtual world first. The semi-finals are tonight. I have to practice again." Yang Qingshuo stood up.
"Go ahead, go ahead." Mother Yang said with a smile.
……
In the personal space martial arts training ground.
Battlefield scene, hundreds of cavalry galloping towards Wang Yi. Wang Yi shot an arrow quickly with one bow and one arrow. The arrows were extremely fast, and the cavalrymen fell one after another. When the last cavalryman rushed five or six meters away from Wang Yi, he was also killed with an arrow.
"I have practiced archery for a long time, but I still have the same ability, but I still haven't broken through the third level." Wang Yi thought, "The country gave me the "Fifth Level Archery", and I learned it according to the methods. Still can’t break through.”
"Why is it so difficult to break through the third level?"
Wang Yi has already reached 99% of the second level in all aspects, and has been stuck at the bottleneck for more than half a month.
"In this competition, if I don't break through the third level, I won't be able to play my role at all." Wang Yi continued to practice arrows, "Keep practicing."

Late late at night, the official live broadcast room of the virtual world Xia Kingdom was extremely lively. A large number of people continue to pour into the live broadcast room. The number of people shown in the live broadcast room is also 500 million or 600 million, and it keeps jumping and rising.
In recent days, various media have been covering the Fire Cup competition in all aspects. This is the biggest event in the entire Xia Kingdom in recent days. People are naturally attracted, and the further back they go, the more intense the battle will be and the greater the attraction.
Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao also came to the stands and saw their parents who had arrived early.
"Old Xu!" Liu Chongyuan shouted with his three daughters.
"Old Xu, why are you here so late?" Heng Fang and Yang Qingshuo also came over.
"You guys came too early. The game doesn't start until 0 o'clock, and there are still twenty minutes left." Xu Jingming said with a smile, "Sister Yi isn't here yet? I'm not the slowest either."
A group of people gathered together.
"Jing Ming, I'm going to assemble with the team. Come with me and say hello to your elders." Xu Hong greeted.
“Here we come.” Xu Jingming went over immediately.
“Let’s go.”
The two of them clicked lightly and were teleported directly to the surroundings of Liu Hai in the stands.
Liu Hai stood there, surrounded by Dai Tongda, Tian Yiqu, and Qiu Yong, as well as some relatives, including Dai Xiaoqing. At this moment Zhou Fan also appeared with his son 'Zhou Yi'.
"Hurry up and meet your elders." Xu Hong walked over with Xu Jingming.
"Master." "Master."
Xu Jingming called Dai Tongda and Liu Hai. Dai Tongda laughed: "Jingming, this kid, after so many years, he has only Three masters. His father, me, and the captain! Now the three masters are in our team... Jing Ming, If you advance to the finals and you take action against us, you will be bullying your master and destroying your ancestors!”
“That’s what you said.” Zhou Fan came over and said with a smile, “Xu Jingming doesn’t even need to take action against you. Your teammates can deal with you. The only one who needs Xu Jingming to take action is the captain.”
"I'm really looking forward to him defeating me." Liu Hai looked at Xu Jingming.
"There is still a big gap between me and Master." Xu Jingming said, "And the biggest difficulty we encounter now is senior Lei Yunfang. In the upcoming semi-finals, our team is under great pressure. There is no chance of getting through at all.”
Everyone in Liu Hai’s senior team nodded when they heard this.
"Lei Yunfang is very powerful." Liu Hai nodded, "With his physical skills, it is difficult for you to form a siege, one-on-one... In this semi-final, you are very dangerous. In short, don't even think about it. There are too many, so try your best."
"You will know who is strong and who is weak," Xu Hong said.
Xu Jingming nodded.
“Xu Jingming.” Zhou Yi came over and shook hands with Xu Jingming.
“Zhou Yi.” Xu Jingming also extended his hand.
"I watched the battle between you and Fang Yu. You completely suppressed Fang Yu and defeated him completely. I admire you very much." Zhou Yi said, "I lost at his hands. "
Xu Jingming said: "He is wearing heavy armor, so he is somewhat restrained."
"If I meet you and you hold two shields, you can still rush in front of me and kill me with one shield." Zhou Yi shook his head, "My strength is indeed weaker than the two of you. My archery skills are not strong enough. Otherwise, Fang Yu won't be able to defend against my arrows, and my body skills are not fast enough. If I am fast enough, he will not be able to get close to me."
"Let's work together," Xu Jingming said.
Zhou Yi looked deeply at Xu Jingming, nodded, and left.
Xu Jingming walked towards Dai Xiaoqing.
"Senior brother." Dai Xiaoqing smiled.
"Is it a lot of pressure?" Xu Jingming looked at the girl.
“It’s a huge pressure.” Dai Xiaoqing said with a grimace, “My father and his elders are all as cunning as foxes. The most terrifying one is Senior Liu Hai. He is the number one in the world. Ah, our entire team is determined to fight as many as we can.”
“Come on,” Xu Jingming encouraged.
Dai Xiaoqing glanced at the system prompts and continued: "I have to go and assemble with the team, I will be on stage soon."
"Go quickly." Xu Jingming nodded.
...
After walking around and meeting some friends, Xu Jingming returned to his team. The time also came to 0 o'clock, and the Tinder Cup semi-finals finally began with the attention of the whole people.
