Chapter 492 197. Signs of Death
【Advent Complete】
【Welcome back to Xingyuan】
The neural network invades, the visual link synchronizes, and the caramel snail crawls out of the residence in Shishou Village.
"I don't know why, but today I had a sudden impulse to play the game."
Caramel Snail is the kind of person who can never fall asleep again as soon as he wakes up. Especially today, he is particularly excited and just wants to play games.
——Mostly from playing "Star Abyss".
He sorted out his equipment and dressed neatly. Now, as a well-known [Warrior] in the national server, Caramel Snail is no longer limited to being an ordinary amateur player. Many merchants, big guilds and professional teams have also sent him invitations. , Caramel Snail is thinking about his goals while honing his skills and upgrading his equipment.
Having been around professional players like Cumin Fen for a long time, in fact, he feels that professional competitions are just that. They are no different from other full-time athletes. They have to train, study, practice games, and review games. It doesn't look like an outsider. Playing games every day is so fun.
It doesn't matter if you join the profession, since your university status will be retained for life, and you can go back to school whenever you want.
But, which team should we play on?
Caramel snails struggle with this problem.
With thoughts in mind, he came to his courtyard - this two-story self-built building with a courtyard, which he bought from Li Aozi, had a beautiful view, with rivers and flower fields next to it, not far away. You can also see the windmill and the caramel snail likes this scenery very much. It makes him feel very relaxed.
Caramel Snail went to the field to water and loosen the soil. The animal pen in Shunshou Village had not been built yet. Otherwise, he would have planned to buy a stardew cat, a specialty of White Candle Star, and match it with a hound, so that the family would be rich. Angry.
Judging from the time in the game, it has been nine months since these players came to White Candle Star. If you include the time for open beta and land reclamation before the establishment of Faithful Village, it has been one year. Caramel Snail recruited The character 'Saga Kei' can speak Tanas with an accent from Amiraki Village, and he gets along very well with people from nearby native villages.
In fact, this is due to many aspects.
The Crystal Tower Civilization is a materialistic magical civilization that is very inclusive and has a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural system. The locals do not reject foreign races such as players.
Secondly, the players are very weak. In the eyes of the local Tower tribe, the players are more like a group of big lesbians. The white candle star civilians with per capita gamma level naturally have no ill intentions towards such weak creatures.
On the contrary, because the players have high IQs, are hard-working, and have simple personalities (except for rummaging through boxes, touching corpses, and bullying small animals), the villagers often entrust the players to run errands and do tasks whenever they have nothing to do.
Compared with players, it is actually harder for some of the space refugees that Li Ozi took in for the Faithful Village to integrate into the mainland, such as the aliens from the Van Renkov Autonomous State. They are powerful, they are a fighting nation that is good at conquering, and their appearance is relatively easy. The Ye Zhi children are crying and are not very popular among the locals, but they are stronger and some important tasks still have to be left to the refugees.
Players and refugees and immigrants are not that unfamiliar. Everyone is a gangster, relying on Li Ozi's protection to live here. The refugees also know that these immortal descendants have a close relationship with the lords, and they do not dare to neglect them.
Although it was still midnight in reality, it was already broad daylight in Shishou Village. Caramel Snail took a leisurely stroll around his one-third-acre plot of land, collected a bunch of materials, took it to the door, and went directly to the village.
At this point, none of his teammates came, and the copy obviously couldn't be pushed by one person, and Caramel Snail didn't want to go to Van Lenkov for a knife attack.
He didn't know what was wrong, but the whim he felt before had not subsided until now.
So, Caramel Snail closed his game interface, and he just walked like this, strolling on the streets of the village, looking at the traffic, the houses, the gusts of wind carrying the fragrance of flowers, and the workshop filled with magical light. , the biochemical pool was buzzing, and it was unknown what order Li Aozi was executing.
Young and middle-aged villagers were sweating profusely in the fields, a few children were laughing and playing, kicking a ball, the sound of reading came from the rural primary school, and several workers stood at the door of the tavern, holding magic pipes between their fingers and discussing solemnly. How should the flying carpet parking area be constructed.
It's all so real.
He went to the restaurant and ordered a bowl of fried rice and a glass of orange juice. The landlady was in a good mood today and gave him two pieces of chicken wings as a gift.
Caramel Snail has eaten many meals with bonuses made by Garyton, a professional [chef], such as [Living Dead Curry Shrimp] which can increase [Strength], and [Satan's Crying Cream Cake] which can restore full health points.
For this bowl of fried rice, which only adds to the satiety, the caramelized snails are carefully enjoyed spoon by spoon at this moment, savoring the smooth texture of the rice grains and eggs. The restaurant's cooking is not elaborate, but the portions are generous, obviously to make people feel full and have more strength to work.
The bards in the restaurant were playing and singing, and the atmosphere was extremely joyful.
The green orange juice tastes clear, sour and sweet, with a slightly astringent taste. After drinking it in one sip, the caramel snail can clearly feel its salivary glands secreting saliva. The whole process and feeling are extremely real.
There is no system interface, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a real world.
"No wonder we need to engage in electronic immigration..."
Caramel Snail is very understanding at the moment.
Diners come and go, drinking and drinking, enjoying fresh fruits and vegetables, simple meals, singing and dancing. This rich atmosphere of life makes Caramel Snail suddenly have an idea:
‘When I die, I will also upload my consciousness here. ’
"Star Abyss" is their second home.
When this idea arose, he was looking at the fields in the distance and his two-story house by the river. Caramel Snail took it for granted:
‘If anyone dares to do anything bad to Xingyuan, I will never let him go. ’
After the singing bard finished his song, he saw a caramel snail being eaten by a man, recognized his identity as the descendant, and immediately came over and said friendly:
"Hey, little brother, I wrote a new song. Why don't you listen to it for me? Is there anything missing?"
[The bard ‘Max’ has released a side quest to you - "Audition Track"]
The system interface that suddenly popped up made Caramel Snail return to the player state. The task was not difficult, just listening to music. He was enjoying himself, so he nodded and accepted the task.
"No problem."
"Thank you very much."
The bard Max smiled, then hugged the piano and sang a song:
The tailor holds the thread in his hand, passing through fate and time,
She wears death into pieces, page after page of history,
Disasters will come one after another, and destruction will follow them like a shadow.
A saint came looking for danger, and the tailor's atrocities were revealed,
She threw the bronze sword and cut the endless threads.
…………
The poet sang a ballad, but Caramel Snail felt more and more strange as he listened. He held the cup unconsciously, sometimes sipping the drink in silence, sometimes looking into the distance with a sad expression.
"Tailor...[tailor]."
The poet sang mediocre lyrics and performed the music with poor techniques, but for some reason, the story he described made Caramel Snail—or, in other words, Jiao Ziniu—feel resonance and sadness.
One hundred and twenty years ago, a witch who called herself "Tailor" fell from the starry sky and came to the world. She can easily connect the mountains, shape people's lives and destiny, act recklessly without any scruples, stir up bloodshed, and bring disaster to the world.
At this moment, the saint who also came from the starry sky and loved exploring could not stand the atrocities of the tailor. She came to the world. Although she lost her magic power, she was determined to fight for the mortals. She cut off the tailor. Threads raised the banner of resistance.
In the end, [Tailor] was defeated and [Saint] was seriously injured. Her body was buried in the mountains, guarded by the heroic spirits of Falicia.
It's strange to say.
In this story, Jiao Ziniu has no understanding of the historical background and the relationship between the characters.
But he could clearly feel it - every time the word "tailor" popped up, and when he heard that "tailor" had harmed the world and committed atrocities, Jiao Ziniu couldn't remain calm.
It's like... he was also a victim of that disaster. (End of chapter)
