In the dark room, only a rectangular screen was glowing, and there seemed to be many cardboard boxes and messy books piled up in the small space. Menz slid away with a sound, and an unshaven man walked in from the door carrying a cup of coffee. The light of the screen reflected his thin face. In fact, he was not very old. His hair was a little disheveled, and he had a black bridge on his nose. There are heavy dark circles under the glasses.
He took a sip of coffee, placed the cup next to the screen, and then pushed up his glasses frame to look at the information on the screen - it was the classic main interface of the virtual community in the Chinese competition area. He yawned and stretched out his hand to read the information on the screen. The portrait of a girl with scorching hair was uploaded, and she entered the personal center with ease.
There are a mountain of message reminders and emails in the mailbox, but most of them are community notifications and advertisements, and there are also some meaningless replies. The man's eyes jumped from text to text until a reply came into his eyes.
He looked at the reply person's message, an enigmatic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and put his hand on the glass plate in front of the screen. The capacitor felt a weak bioelectric current, and the shape of a keyboard emerged from the glass plate.
Although the shape is more advanced, the appearance of the keyboard is still the same as that of its ancestors a century ago. The man yawned while his slender fingers fell on the keyboard like raindrops, and the clicking sound of input was quickly followed by typing. Okay, a long reply.
He didn't check, just blinked and pressed the send button:

'We are looking for players with potential -'
Silver Forest Hall——
There was a ding-dong sound, and Mu Xue, who was holding her personal terminal against her chin and sitting boredly, was startled and almost threw the board in her hand.
She carefully looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that no one noticed her embarrassment. With his big and smart eyes, he turned his eyes cleverly, stretched his neck and glanced in the direction of Wu Di from a distance.
The latter was communicating something with the people in the fourth group. The man in the black windbreaker beside them remained silent. Then the three of them walked towards the big screen on the side of the hall and gradually moved away from here.
She looked back thoughtfully and said to herself: "I don't believe the message above. I just want to see the reply. Well, that's it."
She nodded vigorously, and then opened her personal terminal. As expected, the personal center prompted a message that there was a private message. She swiped the screen with her little hand curiously, and the content of the reply came into view:
"We are looking for players with potential——"
"Huh?"
"Does that mean I have great potential?"
"How does this guy know? It's so strange. I rarely post videos on the community." She suddenly smiled proudly and typed on the screen with two fingers:

"Are you trying to trick me? I won't believe you. Even if you say that, I won't be surprised at all. Besides, I'm already an official selector."
In the darkness, when the man saw this reply, he choked on his coffee with a puff.
He hurriedly put the cup back in place, wiped the liquid on the glass plate with a paper towel, and coughed, causing snot and tears. At this time, the door behind him slid open again, and a handsome man holding a pile of books stood outside the door and frowned at the dark environment.
"Why don't you turn on the light? Are you a vampire?"
"Ahem, cough, cough, I don't like it."
"This is not good for your eyes. You are a professional selector. You don't need to remind me about this?"
The handsome man had put down the stack of books and pressed the switch. A soft light radiated from the ceiling above his head, the floor and the surrounding walls.
The room became bright, with papers, cartons and various books scattered everywhere. There was a stack of draft paper on the low table next to it, which was full of various materials. If Fang Plover were here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that most of these materials are priceless items. The data on various monsters in Aitalia and the customs and customs of various places are recorded on them.
The person sitting in front of the optical brain was coughing violently and covering his black-rimmed glasses with his hands as if he couldn't see the light. The tall and handsome man by the door looked at his embarrassed look and said in a very unkind tone: "What are you doing again?"
"Nothing, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough," the unshaven man beat his chest hard, and it took him a while to catch his breath, "Damn, R, I seem to have met a retarded person."
"What's so strange about this? You encounter it every day." R shook his head: "Go to the bathroom and look in the mirror. You can even know what this mentally retarded person looks like."
"Haha, this joke is not funny at all, R." The former joked and tried to get away with it. He cleaned the water stains on the glass plate, then sat back again, opened a notepad on the screen, and searched a few pages for the Catputian ID. Record it below:
'Little girl, there is something wrong with your brain——'
R glanced at his screen and saw the ID named Shana, and couldn't help but said coldly: "You have time to do such boring things, why not do something meaningful?"
The man spread his hands: "What can we do now? We have been restricted from moving for more than two years. Do you think they will give us a chance to go back? Don't you know the virtues of those people?"
As he spoke, his hands were not slow at all, and he typed a piece of text:

'Madam, you don't have to believe us, but we will show you our sincerity——'
He pressed the send button and then turned back to look at his companion. His eyes under the black-rimmed glasses were serious for the first time: "Is your woman helping you collect information? She is that - well, a little big-breasted and brainless. woman?"
R piled the books on the bookshelf and turned back to look at him coldly.
"What are you looking at me doing? Didn't you hear clearly what I just said? It doesn't matter. I'll repeat it again - my sister-in-law, who is as beautiful as a flower, has a clever mind, and is a match made in heaven with you. She is returning to Etalia. Already?" The man laughed and immediately changed his words.
He looked at the former cautiously.
But R rarely got angry and shook his head without saying anything.
The man also showed a serious look. He looked at his screen before saying: "Okay, R, you know we all want to go back. You can't count on those people, so we each prepare in the way we are good at - —You know what kind of person I am, I am such a guy from a wild background, and I can never get along with those people who have a professional background."
"I just remind you to be careful not to be recognized and beaten to death," R replied calmly: "Yao Yue and I cannot afford to lose this person."
In the brightly lit hall of Silver Forest Spear.
The little Lolita, who had been waiting impatiently, almost jumped three feet high when she heard the reply. She hurriedly opened her personal terminal and kept complaining: "What? She said she had great potential, but she ignored her. Yes, these people are really annoying, they lie to people and they don’t do their duty very well.”
When she opened the terminal and saw the routine reply, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But when I looked closely, I found that there was an attachment attached to the letter.
"Hey, what is this?" The little girl's eyes were full of curiosity: "Virus? Have you ever heard that there is such a thing in the selector system?"
She spoke cautiously, but her little hand already touched the attachment without hesitation, and a blue loading light bar immediately appeared in her field of vision.
"Training...training procedures?"
The screen shows that the file transfer is in progress.
R shook his head: "The Multipolar Ball is semi-public information in the second world. Do people really believe what you posted?"
The man said angrily: "Don't look at ordinary people with your eyes. Your tone sounds like you can't get into a key university. What else are you studying for? Why don't you go home and plant sweet potatoes? You have a condescending tone of academic master, okay, although I admit that you are indeed a top student, but can you stop talking about it all the time, you really deserve to be beaten."
He pointed at the screen: "You also know that is the second world. The multi-polar ball is just a small problem in the second world, but there are still many people in the first world who have never seen it. I dare to bet you, and these At least half of the people can’t even solve the first question.”
"Then you've lost half of your potential customers?" R teased.
"That's not a big deal," the man shook his head: "If it hadn't been unlocked, I would have just been selling my second package, of course -"
"That's paid content."
R glanced at him and answered for him in a calm tone.
"Hey, how do you know?"
"Have you forgotten how you met me back then?"
"Haha," the man laughed awkwardly: "You are really the best customer I have ever met. It's a pity that at that time, my vision was not as high as it is now. I didn't have a multi-polar ball, and finally you saw the clues."
The handsome man closed the book in his hand and glanced at him: "You sound like you are still proud of it? So what if someone solves those problems?"
The man was stunned, then pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and shrugged, "At least so far, I haven't met one."
"But there are always geniuses in the world."
"That's okay," the man said in a prepared tone: "In addition to the multi-polar ball, there is also Saint Nanu's practical tutorial. Even if these don't work, the worst I can do is throw him the Key Chapter -"
R was stunned: "Hasn't that thing been untied?"
The man smiled maliciously: "Isn't that just right?"
R couldn't help but shook his head: "I sometimes wonder if I will be struck by lightning with you if I am too close to you." He looked at the screen indifferently: "The other party didn't reply?"
"Haha, that little girl with a brain problem seems to be in trouble."
The man laughed with some schadenfreude.
He was indeed right.
When Liu Liyue walked leisurely back from the other side of the hall with a glass of cold drink, what she saw was the little Loli who was so angry that her hair stood on end and she punched her personal terminal angrily.
Fortunately, her little fist was not very strong and she did not directly smash a hole in the personal terminal, but there was still a loud bang, which startled the former.
Liu Liyue looked at the yellow-haired girl angrily: "What are you doing again, where is Wu Di?"
As he asked, he walked over uninvited and looked at what was on the other person's screen. "Training procedure?" Liu Liyue was still a little surprised. Was there ever a time when this naughty kid was so good? "What training program, let me see how many points I got?"
"No, give it back to me!" the little Loli screamed in fright.
But in her panic, she even forgot to use the ranger's ability. How could she win over the taller Liu Liyue with her physical strength alone? She was snatched away from her personal terminal by the other party.
Liu Liyue squinted her eyes, and then asked with some confusion: "Which ID is yours? Why can't I find it?"
Xiaoluo's eyes wandered: "I just downloaded it and haven't started it yet."
"Please, lying is a very delicate art. Please don't make fun of it if you don't have the brains." Liu Liyue pointed at the screen and sneered: "It clearly shows that the number of training times is one. Did you make a draft before lying? "
Mu Xue's face turned red: "Because it's the first time, I'm not ready. Besides, this training is biased toward the alchemist mode. It's normal for me to have a low score as a ranger."
Liu Liyue shook the terminal from side to side: "But now this is not a question of low score. I am asking which ID is yours?"
The little loli's head hung lower and lower, and she muttered: "Well...I, I, I didn't make the list."
"Hahahaha," Liu Liyue laughed without mercy, laughing so hard that she almost shed tears. He quickly put the cold drink aside, pointed at the little girl and said, "Look, you still have You say you're not a rookie? Look, it's alchemist mode training, right? Little girl, let me show you what the real technique is."
The little loli glared at this guy hatefully.
But only five minutes later, her angry eyes turned into a look of gloating and joyful expression.
Then Liu Liyue jumped up from her seat as if she had been bitten: "Holy crap!" He stared at the results suspended in front of him in stunned silence, and couldn't help blinking hard: "Are you kidding me? What the hell kind of training program is this? How can it be so difficult——!”
in the room.
R waited for a while but didn't get a reply from the other party. After listening to his companion's explanation, he seemed to suddenly become interested in the matter. He couldn't help but ask: "What are you going to do next? Are you just going to receive this 'customer' this evening?"
"Of course not," the latter shook his head: "I am also very dedicated, okay? Let's see if there are any other replies first."
As he spoke, he continued to rummage through his mailbox.
But just when he passed, R suddenly reached out and held his hand: "There is a letter here, you haven't read it yet. You have turned the page back and forth several times, haven't you seen it?"
The man looked in the direction of his finger and saw the reply:
Poster: Ed, Posting time: 10, 7, 12:35
'Mr./Ms. Shana, I have solved the level within a week as you requested (attached attachment) -'
This is an email from two days ago.
The man thought about it carefully and then remembered when that happened. He shook his head and said very maturely: "You see this kind of answer is probably to expose our tricks and to make fun of us, just ignore it."
"Why?" R turned around and asked.
The man smiled, looking experienced and knowledgeable: "When you first got the Multipolar Ball, were you able to solve all the levels within a week?"
"Just because I can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it."
"Come on, R, that's the first world."
R shook his head: "You might as well take a look."
The man laughed loudly: "Then let me show you what it means to be experienced. Let me tell you, when I was the most powerful person in this community, you were still a young boy in the youth training team."
As he spoke, he opened his notepad and searched for it. After looking at the information corresponding to this ID, he couldn't help but let out another laugh.
"Ha, this kid's identity is quite special."
"Um?"
"I guess this is that kid, you know the most popular post in the community lately."
"It's him?" Of course R understood, a deep light flashed in his eyes: "I heard that the military is looking for this person, how do you know it's him?"
"I guessed it. I asked him if he wanted revenge, and he was indeed fooled. He was almost inseparable." The man spread his hands and said, "I have also seen the video. This little guy has some talent. He may really be able to solve the first level, but It would be a bit funny to say it’s all unraveled.”
"Is this guy not aware that there are more levels to this training program?" He muttered while opening the attachment sent by Fang Plover.
R just replied quietly from the side: "I think it's best for you to read it first before talking."
"Don't worry, I won't be wrong," the man replied confidently: "Look, I knew I -"
His hand suddenly froze there.
The expression on his face froze instantly, his eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he looked at the score on the attachment in disbelief. And R quickly moved his hand away and scratched the score. Then he immediately turned around and looked at his companion with some teasing:
"Did you see it?"
"what? What?"
"He has higher scores than you."
"This is impossible……"
The man scratched his hair, as if he had seen the most incredible thing: "I know!" He said firmly: "This guy must have cheated!"
R straightened up and smiled teasingly: "F, can we have a more meaningful and intelligent conversation?"
…
