The interview location for the drama club was in the lecture theater. Gan Xiaoyu and Jiang Rong arrived too early. At this time, the classroom was still occupied by other clubs, so they could only wait outside the door.

Jiang Rong was bored with waiting, so he found an open space for a walk and memorized words. He inadvertently walked around to the side of the lecture theater, and saw a figure in his field of vision.

She looked closer and the screen cut to a close-up. She saw Liao Jingchen quietly looking up at the window. His handsome and clean side face was set against the slightly blurred background of trees and flowers. The picture was beautiful and fresh. It was a textbook-like campus idol drama. Classic shot.

With the early foreshadowing and suspense, this one-on-one encounter scene is undoubtedly a climax of the plot. The male and female protagonists also started a conversation as the audience expected. Liao Jingchen was the first to notice Jiang Rong's gaze, turned his head, and then noticed the word card in her hand, and smiled politely and tenderly:

"Sorry to bother you with memorizing words."

Jiang Rong shrugged: "It doesn't matter."

Then he said: "Are you waiting for the classroom too?"

"What?"

"The interview for the drama club." Jiang Rong said, "When this club ends now, it will be the drama club's turn."

Liao Jingchen blinked slowly, his smile still gentle: "No, I was just passing by and standing here in a daze."

Jiang Rong glanced at him and then looked at the lecture theater in the window:

"Really? Maybe it's because your eyes are beautiful, and they are so affectionate even when you are in a daze."

Liao Jingchen's lips moved slightly: "...Probably, thank you for the compliment."

The student union president, who had always been calm and tactful, was suddenly deflated by this casual teasing, and the scene suddenly became more interesting.

Jiang Rong said nothing again.

I don’t know whether it was because he wanted to find a new step for himself, or because his good qualities had always allowed Liao Jingchen to habitually relieve the stiff atmosphere. He kept smiling and asked casually:

"Listen to what you just said, are you here to audition for the drama club?"

Jiang Rong said "Hmm" and looked at him: "That's it for now."

"I wish you all your wishes." Liao Jingchen found his comfort zone, with sincere eyes and a gentle smile on his lips.

After saying that, as if he was still taking advantage of this successful victory in controlling the field, Liao Jingchen nodded to Jiang Rong with a smile, then passed her by and walked away at a slightly faster pace.

"Getting your wish...?"

Jiang Rong turned to look at Liao Jingchen's back, muttering and repeating these four words.

Then she remained motionless and paused in place for three seconds.



…………

………………

"What were I talking about just now? That's Liao Jingchen!! We haven't seen each other for two weeks and I almost forgot who that handsome face is. I just remembered it now!!! He doesn't think I'm quarreling with him, does he? Probably not Right?! I've been pretending to be strong for so long that I don't even know how to talk to boys normally anymore..."

Jiang Rong's heart was breaking down. She moved her eyes to the left little by little, and turned her head and body back little by little. She began to deceive herself that nothing had happened.

A hand suddenly patted Jiang Rong's shoulder from behind. She was startled and turned her head immediately.

"Wow!" Gan Xiaoyu was frightened by Jiang Rong's reaction, "Rong Rong, are you distracted? I see there is already a queue at the door of the lecture theater, let's go quickly!"

Jiang Rong calmly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a weak tone: "...Yeah."

Soon, the interview began. Because of this incident with Liao Jingchen, Jiang Rong, who originally had no intention of joining the drama club, accepted the enthusiastic recruitment of her senior and officially became a member of the drama club.

At the same time, Gan Xiaoyu, who was interviewing at the other end of the classroom, also successfully joined the drama club's logistics team.

The one who contrasts sharply with the two of them is Wan Ning. The External Relations Department of the Student Union deliberately changed the time and place of the interview temporarily under the pretext of testing the freshmen's adaptability, catching Wan Ning off guard. By the time she rushed to the lecture theater out of breath, the drama club interview was coming to an end.

"Hmm... Wan Ning, right?"

The senior sitting in the center confirmed the information and asked a few questions casually, "Yeah, um, that's all, Wan Ning. We will notify you via text message later."

"Eh?" Wan Ning was still out of breath, "Senior, I, I still have talent! I'm ready to sing -"

The senior hesitated for two seconds: "Well, okay, then you can show it."

Wan Ning nodded gratefully, took a deep breath, and started singing. Unfortunately, her performance on the spot was affected by many factors, and she broke her note before singing even two lines.

She saw the seniors sitting in the front row frowning, feeling flustered and aggrieved, and she fought hard: "I really want to join the drama club! Please consider——"

"Yeah, okay." A senior sister interrupted her in a friendly manner, "We will notify you of the results later. Just wait for the text message."

Wan Ning bit her lip, bowed unwillingly, turned and walked towards the door.

Before she left, she heard the person behind her sneer contemptuously, and her expression suddenly worsened, and she gritted her teeth bitterly all the way back to the dormitory.

[This female supporting role has a lot of roles, is she related to her? #pick nose]

[Well, I was a little sympathetic to her at first, but why did she sneer at Jiang Rong and Gan Xiaoyu after she returned? It’s not like they made you break your voice when singing]

[Wan Ning...well, I can only say that it is reasonable for her to become a vicious female supporting role]

[Am I the only one who thinks Wan Ning is a normal person? Wasn't Jiang Rong able to join the drama club just because she was good-looking and had the aura of being a heroine? 】

[Haha, yes, you are the only one, and I am the i heroine. What's wrong? Why don't you call the police? 】

[No, sisters, don’t make noise at home...]

The barrages started arguing back and forth, and were flooded with more barrages that were deliberately trying to break up the fight. It wasn't until the plot progressed that Jiang Rong lay down on the bed and put on his gaming glasses, then he changed his style of painting, and they all said "It's coming, it's coming, it's coming" ] and [Blindly guess the high energy ahead! 】.

The familiar white scene transitions, and the "furry"-looking Jiang Rong appears on the screen.

She skillfully opened the task panel and continued to run errands for the NPC. After a while, she was enveloped in a beam of light symbolizing an upgrade.

"Wow, it's level 25!"

Jiang Rong jumped up and down happily and stretched, "Hey, what is this?"

A new information window popped up, and she read out word for word: "Congratulations, you have reached level 25. Please activate at least one technical specialization. Your level will not continue to increase until you successfully activate technical specialization. .”

"Well……"

Jiang Rong frowned and clicked on the color-coded word "Technical Specialization" to open a more detailed sub-window.

The technical specializations of the holographic online game "Heart Shadow Link" include four major categories: "Fighting", "Shooting", "Spells", and "Medical". The first two are mainly physical attacks, and the latter two are mainly magic attacks (healing). ) mainly.

The official has given ample space here for players to integrate and create by themselves. In the case where weapons and technical specializations do not correspond one-to-one, as long as players like it, they can make the knives, swords, spears, etc. in their hands burst into flames. There are physical attacks and magic attacks. In the same way, those who want to cause trouble can also use the "Fighting" and "Medical" specialties at the same time to stab people and save them at the same time...

Jiang Rong had seen related game posts on the forum, and some of them had shared their own weapons and specialization designs, which formed many branches under various permutations and combinations, such as pistol + fighting + shooting, which can be used for both melee and long-range combat. , another example is bow and arrow + shooting + medical treatment, advancing can provide output, retreating can heal teammates.

However, how to cultivate specialization is also a technical task. After the experiment, many players abandoned these fancy gadgets and focused on improving one of the specializations first, and then made other plans when the level was high and they had enough time.

Jiang Rong was not obsessed with upgrading and becoming stronger in this game, but he was very interested in studying these wonderful combinations. He decided to activate all four technical specializations in order and try to play slowly.

She closed the prompt window and happily went to find the corresponding NPC. Each specialization corresponds to a small dungeon, just like in a school, with NPC instructors explaining the operation methods and teaching skills. Players can master basic skills through practice in the dungeon.

Jiang Rong was the closest to the "Medical" instructor, and it didn't take long to successfully activate her first technical specialization. She then went to find the "Fighting" instructor without stopping, and walked away with an ordinary-quality novice long sword given by the NPC. Enter the transfer point to meet the new small copy trial.

"Roar--"

Opposite him was a ferocious-looking humanoid monster, carrying a large ring knife and rushing towards Jiang Rong without any explanation.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid...!"

Jiang Rong swallowed, gathered his composure and stepped forward to meet him.

Clang!

The sword blade collided with the large ring knife, and a bright red message with a warning symbol popped up on the side of Jiang Rong's main perspective:

[You are not using skills simultaneously! 】

"?! Oops—"

Jiang Rong caught a glimpse of these words from the corner of her eye, and her eyes suddenly trembled. However, she realized this too late. In an instant, she was ejected by the force of the humanoid monster and staggered back several steps.

"H-ha..."

Jiang Rong calmed down her breathing on the spot, but the trial monster opposite didn't give her time to relax and strode forward again.

"Ah ah ah ah don't come over yet! Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"

Jiang Rong ran away with her sword. Usually when she was doing missions to fight monsters, she would squat around for a long time to prepare herself mentally and objectively before triggering the monster's hatred. Then she would run and fight for a while, using the newbie given by the NPC. The weapon is slowly worn to death, and only when it is no longer possible will a big killing weapon like the Demon Sword be used.

But the situation is different now. The monsters in the dungeon wait for no one. Jiang Rong's backpack has also been blocked, and only a whiteboard weapon with weak damage is left in her hand. She is being chased around in circles. The scene is tragic and funny at the same time. The barrage of [Hahahahahahaha] occupied half of the screen in Qin Jue's live broadcast room.

【Furry baby is so difficult! ! (Sorry, I laughed so hard)]

[Why do you still have to negotiate with the monsters when you fight them? I’m laughing so hard]

[Hey, I suddenly have a question]

Before this barrage could be finished, Jiang Rong once again missed the opportunity to use his skills, failed to attack, failed to block, and was severely knocked away by the humanoid monster.

Ding! ——Bang!

She let go of her long sword and drew a parabola in mid-air, smashing straight into the pile of wooden boxes in the corner. Several wooden boxes cracked open, which invisibly showed how serious the injury was.

Jiang Rong's body suddenly trembled, and he fell to the ground trembling.

There was a dull sound, and Jiang Rong fell limply to the ground like a disgraced rag doll.

She curled up, her petite figure became even smaller, her dust-stained face showed an expression of extreme fright, and the whites of her shaking eyes were like a close-up shot of a horror movie, throwing fear into the audience's eyes as if it were real. Eye.

Suddenly, Jiang Rong spat out blood.

Rather than vomiting, it's better to say vomiting from the stomach.

Jiang Rong's right hand that was barely holding on the ground was trembling. She was coughing and vomiting, her voice was intermittent, blood was dripping, and her body was curled up like a shrimp thrown into the dust.

The bright red blood was very dazzling on the dusty ground. It was obviously just the embodiment of the damage value in the game, but because Jiang Rong's pain was too real, it rendered an extremely strong absurd horror, making an ordinary copy trial. It became a scene of massacre.

A tear fell into a small puddle of blood.

The camera continued to push up, until it reached Jiang Rong's face with messy hair and blood.

She looked at the humanoid monster not far away. The man was paralyzed on his side and still, but the tears were flowing down like crazy, flowing over the top of the bridge of his nose, even into the other eye, and finally disappeared into the scattered hair.

The impact of the picture was so strong that it almost forced people outside the screen to feel the same, making them realize that she couldn't move because of fear and pain.

[Isn’t Furong’s invincible aura useless?]

The barrage I wanted to send out just now was long overdue.

Even if the last word was pressed into pinyin due to shaking hands, it seamlessly reminded everyone of one thing - Jiang Rong had successfully activated the "medical" technical specialization before this, and the "medical" technology specialization that appeared as early as the first episode could be offset The "Lover" special buff state [Guardian Aura] of all attacks has disappeared due to the activation of technical specialization.

To put it funny, this is the scene of a car rollover after losing its halo.

To put it cruelly, this is a poor guy who was thrown out of the protective circle.

[Why do I look so much like me when I walked out of my house and was whipped mercilessly by society?]

Another barrage appeared, originally intended to make a joke to lighten the atmosphere, but it made people even more silent.

Jiang Rong in the online game world is her real self, very small, timid, cute, and delicate, unable to endure hardships, complaining, and afraid of pain.

Just an ordinary little girl.

The powerful barrier was suddenly lost, as if a series of tragic events such as the parents' divorce, the father's death from illness, and the mother's grief and coma were repeated in the game, one by one, heartbreaking.

A small, soft, trembling, weak whimper came.

This sound immediately made many viewers blush.

This was followed by the sound of "Boom!"

As if it had been given enough "rest time", the humanoid monster carrying the large ring knife stomped on the ground, crushing it hard like a vicious wall of flesh without any sympathy or mercy.

Everyone in the live broadcast room who had not watched the second episode in full thought that "Jingchen" was about to appear.

but none.

Only the humanoid monster's big hands picked up the embarrassed Jiang Rong and threw it away.

There were sounds of hitting the wall, falling to the ground, and a warning sound accompanied by a bright red message.

[Your blood volume is less than 30%! 】

【Your blood volume is less than 10%! 】

【Your blood volume is less than 2%! 】

Row after row, they are stacked on the side of the main perspective like a reminder. In the out-of-focus background, there is a small arm trembling.

In the upper left corner, the health bar of "Rong Rong" is almost invisible. It is a "thread of blood" in the true sense. In reality, it is equivalent to dying, and it only takes the time to swallow.

The "whooshing" sound caused by the falling of the large ring knife was particularly frightening at this moment, and the cold light flashed through Jiang Rong's desperate eyes.

Then there was a white light, a thin blade, and a pair of horns.

The hem of the purple-black long coat like the flag of hell swung outwards in an arc, like thick ink, blurring out the eyes that had already resigned themselves to their fate.
