White light bloomed, and the day and night changes in the holographic online game had its own cycle of rules. The faint sunlight, which was very different from the real night, illuminated the cherry blossom forest, and a drop of dew hit Liao Jingchen's eyelids.
He was hit without any defense, his eyelashes like butterfly wings trembled slightly, and there was a rare sense of confusion and grievance in his slightly narrowed eyes.
"Master~!"
The coquettish calls came swirling, Liao Jingchen turned his head in surprise, and quickly put on the animal bone mask with one hand. "Jingchen" was like the personality he had anxiously summoned to take over, covering him in a panic and stiff manner. Soft and harmless, the tall black goat stood silently next to the cherry blossom tree. Only his slightly stiff body made a suspicious gap in the majestic image he tried to maintain.
"Huh?"
The keen Tutu never misses any detail, "Master? What's wrong with you?...Are you tired from standing after waiting for too long?"
"..."
A muffled cough came from beneath the strange and terrifying mask.
Liao Jingchen's ears were burning, and his body chose to avoid it before his consciousness. He took big steps forward and said in a deliberately cold voice:
"Follow up."
"Oh! Okay!"
This look was more familiar to "Rong Rong". She didn't complain at all, and immediately ran a few steps beside him, her eyes rolling around, looking here and there.
Master tonight... seems to be in a good mood?
"What are you looking at?" Liao Jingchen said uncomfortably.
"Well -" "Rongrong" scratched his cheek, wanting to describe it but couldn't tell why. He whined for a while before saying, "Did anything good happen today?"
"Huh?" Liao Jingchen was slightly startled.
"You look very happy!" "Rongrong" said in a clear voice.
"……Is it."
Even though he was wearing a mask, Liao Jingchen subconsciously moved his eyes to the side.
"Yes, Master's body is much less dark today!" "Rong Rong" blinked, "It wasn't like this before!"
Liao Jingchen suddenly felt funny: "What is black energy?"
"It's just...it's just black energy. The aura it emits is gloomy, and a line of words spells out from top to bottom: 'Don't mess with me, or you will look good'."
When it came to what came next, "Rong Rong" raised his face and lowered his voice in a serious manner, his soft cheeks concave with a look that he thought he was fierce.
The black goat sneered.
"RongRong" tilted his head and looked up at him.
"You are indeed in a good mood."
It's like the tiger turned into a big cat.
"Shut up." Liao Jingchen said calmly, his tone even lazily.
"RongRong" didn't mind his orders, humming and running around beside him. It wasn't until the two of them were about to walk out of the cherry blossom forest and enter the novice leveling area that her melodyless movements gradually stopped.
"That, Master."
The short man next to the tall figure looked at the scene in front of him, then looked at his positioning point on the light screen map that was getting farther and farther away from the mission coordinates, and asked in confusion:
"Where are we going now?"
Liao Jingchen: "..."
Tsk, that’s the wrong way to go.
He didn't answer, and silently took out the teleportation tool, put one hand on "Rong Rong"'s shoulder, and let the rotating and blooming light wrap around the two of them.
(owo?)
"Rong Rong" disappeared into the teleportation array in confusion.
In front of the screen, Shen Ziqiong covered her face and laughed.
Help, there are idiots!
Does falling in love really make people have lower IQs? The arrogant overturning is simply a must-have after "Jing Chen" is tempted!
"Hey~ Such a sour atmosphere."
Shen Ziqiong was vomiting, and her face was full of "hee hee hee" aunt smiles, "Why are you so cute? Just now, it was like a very soft and rua Liao Jingchen floated out of the shell of 'Jing Chen', and then he I was startled and quickly pressed it back, fearing that Jiang Rong would find out... Hahahahaha... I don't quite understand you black goats who are so obsessed with face!"
Although this small interaction has nothing to do with the advancement of the plot, this natural and funny candy is really delicious!
Shen Ziqiong cheerfully typed in the barrage column "It's so sweet to someone, it's so sweet to me!" and posted it, not caring that she had turned off the barrage early in the morning. At this time, she could not see the message she had just sent. Just hold the snack and look back.
The following plot is relaxed and happy, just like an ancient Western fantasy adventure. Although it is not long, it is quite a royal development whether it is a step-by-step exploration of monsters or the sour and ambiguous atmosphere of a young couple.
Unknowingly, three-quarters of the large-scale mission chain [Heart-Searching and God-Searching] that had previously been forcibly bound due to "Rong Rong"'s mistake was completed. While waiting for the teleportation item to cool down, Jiang Rong sat on the grass and stretched out his hand to swipe the progress bar on the mission interface, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
Time flies so fast. It turns out that I have known Master for such a long time...
She couldn't help but snicker secretly as she recalled the unpleasant first encounter between the two and the series of mistakes they made.
"Hey, speaking of it, I still don't know why I have clicked so many times to submit applications to untie the master-disciple relationship, but all of them came to nothing..." Jiang Rong muttered in a low voice, "This is a classic example of game officials ignoring players' demands and pretending to be stuffy. Die'?"
She pursed her lips, then quietly raised her eyes to look at "Jingchen" who was leaning leisurely on the big tree with one long leg hanging down. She turned away her eyes and muttered:
"But luckily I had the shamelessness to stay by Master's side. Well, to know such a good Master, I feel like all my luck in this life is spent here..."
"What are you talking about?" Liao Jingchen asked casually.
"Ugh?!" Jiang Rong's soliloquy was interrupted, with a guilty look on his face, "No, it's nothing."
A very existential gaze was cast down from the tree. Jiang Rong laughed dryly "Hahaha" and looked at him.
Liao Jingchen listened to her chatting for a long time and did not respond. He just turned his head and quietly curled his mouth.
At this time, a prompt banner popped up in the lower right corner of his field of vision. The CD (cooling time) of the teleportation item had been restored. He looked solemn:
"Ready to go."
"good!"
Jiang Rong immediately got up from the ground.
Liao Jingchen turned over and jumped down, landing silently, as light as a cat. The teleportation crystal floated in his hand, releasing thick and thin purple light, surrounding him and Jiang Rong in a circle.
The post-editing was somewhat lazily narrating the date in the online game through a slideshow-like format. Each freeze frame fading in and out was like a beautiful and lovely CG of two people, with perfect angles and excellent lighting. The characters in the fantasy and textured background are like 2.5-dimensional paper figures, so vivid and beautiful that if they are compiled into a nine-square grid and put on the V-Bo, people will wonder which major game is conducting version activities.
Shen Ziqiong took screenshots while watching.
This picture shows "Jingchen" fighting the dungeon BOSS, while "Rongrong" is hiding behind a tree and reading healing skills;
This picture shows "Rong Rong" lying on the edge of the cliff with a mournful face, being watched by "Jing Chen", tremblingly reaching out to pick a small flower in the stone crevice next to it;
The third picture shows two people resting at the highest point of the ancient city. "Jingchen" looks up at the clouds. The Tang sword and scabbard are lying on "Furry"'s knees next to her, being wiped carefully by her with a handkerchief;
In the next picture, the disgusting monster with green pus and pus was so frightened that "Rong Rong" turned pale, while "Jing Chen" on the side was amused by her pale face and flying tears, which made her lips curl up.
The clear lake surface splashed with water, and "Rong Rong" happily emerged from the water like a flexible fish. A few strands of wet hair stuck to her face, like gentle rain watering the down of a rabbit.
Liao Jingchen held a mask to cover the lower half of his face, with a smile in his eyes.
Today is his lunar birthday.
As long as he can remember, Liao Jingchen has regarded birthdays as a public exhibition. When he was young, he would prepare elaborate exhibitions and be proud of them. Later, as he grew up, he would become more and more boring and tired of social activities. .
Qi Wan, Liao Jingchen's childhood friend, would always use the lunar calendar birthday that he didn't care about as an excuse every year, trying to soothe his mood with a relatively private party. Liao Jingchen was very generous and indeed grateful, so he agreed every time and drew some spiritual energy from social activities and those who admired and respected him.
He had to admit that he needed this, the recognition from others, the gradually accumulated prestige... He was taught by Liao Hongjing to feed on this and became accustomed to it.
But the appearance of "Rong Rong" is like serving a bowl of clear noodle soup to people who are used to a feast of delicacies. After tasting the fragrant and sweet taste, the diners suddenly realized that the meals they had eaten before were too rich and too greasy. , although it is delicious, he has to accept the indigestible burden under the gorgeous appearance - it turns out that there is another choice in the world, which is light, sweet and unrestrained, tempting him to immerse himself in it.
"Uhhhhhh!!"
The choking movement brought back Liao Jingchen's thoughts, and he hurriedly looked at "Rong Rong". He had no restraint at this moment, and his eyes were filled with almost turbulent affection.
Holding back his laughter, Liao Jingchen picked her up, roughly grabbed a piece of equipment like a cloak, covered her head and rubbed it randomly.
"Uh uh uh uh uh... I'll do it automatically as soon as I get ashore! Master!"
Jiang Rong, who was being rubbed back and forth, was completely unaware of the bad taste and squinted his eyes to bear the weight from the top of his head.
Strange voices of conversation came at this moment.
"Eh?" Jiang Rong turned his head, and Liao Jingchen looked stern. The animal bone mask suddenly appeared in his hand, and then covered his face.
"Where is the place you mentioned?"
"Oh, it's right in front, it's very beautiful——"
The conversation between men and women is still going on. It sounds like players from a certain guild are building a cyber team and are about to come here to check in.
Jiang Rong conveniently put the cloak that Liao Jingchen used as a blanket into his backpack and asked in a low voice:
"Want to leave?"
She knew that her master was withdrawn and didn't like to meet people.
What's more, the "Devil King" is still a mysterious legend in the "Heart Shadow Link" online game. The chatter on the game forum changes every day. What never changes is the reward order for the Demon King issued by the good guys and the "fans" have nowhere to put it. Curiosity - the latter will even spend more money to recruit warriors, just to see what kind of face is underneath the black goat's mask.
"Walk."
Liao Jingchen simply responded.
In the past, he might have rushed out and killed them all, but with "Rong Rong" here, the desire for violence caused by irritability no longer existed, and there was no reason to take action.
Today was a good day, and he was in a good mood. The gentle and considerate nature of "Liao Jingchen" suppressed the Demon King's previous violence, so he took the rare opportunity to consider the emotions of other players and did not want to ruin their gaming experience.
However, very dramatically, the rare release of goodwill failed to bring about the desired peace.
A group of people sprinted out from not far away, and an arrow was shot at "Rong Rong" who was holding the teleportation crystal without any explanation. The two people in the team immediately passively entered a fighting state, and the teleportation was interrupted.
"What?!"
Jiang Rong was shocked, and before she could react, Liao Jingchen held her shoulders and dodged the attack.
"Chatting is just a cover."
Liao Jingchen left a hasty sentence with cold eyes.
Before he finished his last note, his figure had already appeared several meters away. The rhythm of the scene, which had been warm and leisurely just now, suddenly soared. The rapid drumbeats sounded, and together with the dazzling special effects, captured the hearts of the audience.
The one who comes is not good.
Liao Jingchen turned sideways to avoid the flying knife while running. He raised his right foot and kicked the bottom of the flying knife like a shuttlecock, returning it to its owner.
The white light symbolizing death bloomed, killing him with one blow, but there was no scream, only a groan. At the same time, the attack formation formed by other players was not disordered at all, and the air was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
There is no doubt that this group of people came prepared.
Liao Jingchen frowned slightly. He really felt a little irritated at this time, not only because his kind speculation was slapped in the face by reality, but also because the rare date night was interrupted by an uninvited guest.
Once again, Liao Jingchen was caught in a treacherous attack. He lowered himself and knocked the man down with a sweeping kick. He unceremoniously grabbed the man's collar with one hand and threw him forward, acting as a temporary target.
With a "thud", the humanoid shield fell forward, quickly clearing an open space.
Liao Jingchen's pupils moved quickly. No one on the other side came to pick him up. They all avoided him. No one even made a sound of surprise or concern. This may mean that this team was formed not long ago and the members have no feelings for each other. They are just a bunch of people. The grass-roots team has no cooperation; or it means that they are all skilled players, with full analysis and adaptability capabilities. They have made sufficient psychological preparations before taking action and know when to do what.
The answer is already very obvious, and the situation is not optimistic.
Liao Jingchen's face darkened with horror.
This time is no different than before. None of the players currently in the field of view are in the injury-resistant and heavy-equipment style. On the contrary, they are all high-attack and high-speed warriors, who clearly want to kill hard.
Oh, forced killing?
The arrogance and ferocity that had not been seen for a while returned to Liao Jingchen's eyes again. He jumped up to one of the few big trees in this lake area, turned over and jumped back under the various splendid attack special effects, and landed on the ground. In an instant, he bent his knees and jumped away, launching an attack in an unexpected and cunning direction.
Use local materials to raise sand and create fog, causing two melee players who attack at the same time to collide; sneak attack from behind, the dagger hits the center of the back; charge head-on and then stop suddenly, taking advantage of the opponent's skill to slit the throat with a knife , then stepped on his shoulders before he was surrounded by the light of death, and floated into the air——
"There's another one here!"
The shout suddenly broke Liao Jingchen's silky combo. His eyes tightened, and he immediately changed his tactics. While jumping backwards, he stepped on people continuously to use his strength, trying to prevent the enemy from turning his target to "Rong Rong".
An emergency message window suddenly opened in front of you.
[Rong Rong]: There are positioning props on the opposite side of the master, but it’s useless to transfer them!
There are no punctuation marks or expressions except for the exclamation point. It is obviously a line of words typed quickly in a hurry.
Liao Jingchen immediately understood that "Rong Rong" was brought up by him all the way from the novice Xiaobai. Although she is a delicate girl, she has accumulated experience in online games and has learned to move around while adding buffs (gain status) to herself. It is impossible to make the stupid mistake of standing still and getting beaten. This message is enough to show that the other party is well prepared and difficult enough.
Since you can't avoid it, then force it on you!
The floating black goat twisted around, and the goddess threw out a hidden weapon like flowers. She immediately landed on the ground and leaned back to avoid a slash coming from a blind corner. The Tang sword made a "ding" sound to block the opponent's next attack.
An arrow lingering with azure light hit his shoulder. In the team panel, the attack and defense icon named "Enthusiased" appeared immediately below the health and skill slots of [Jingchen]. Jiang Rong neatly retracted his bow and turned to the right. Run, run a few steps and then turn to the left, Z-shaped walking is very skillful.
A shrill scream rang out not far away. It sounded like the blood was too thick and a fatal blow failed to kill him, so he could only endure the torture that was worse than death. Jiang Rong, who was shifting positions, wrinkled his face when he heard the sound. His expression and actual actions of continuing to add buffs to "Jingchen" explained what "I sympathize with you so you should get rid of it quickly".
A black-red fireball suddenly exploded in front of her eyes.
"Woo!"
Jiang Rong was in pain, and patted her shoulder with a backhand like a reflex. The green light enveloped her petite body, and the blood volume lost due to the splash of the spell was immediately restored to full.
There are people here!
No longer able to send a message, Jiang Rong rolled on the spot to avoid a few bullets fired by gunmen from afar. Then he accelerated suddenly, using his sprinting skill and sliding shovel. He stretched out his calf and tripped the nearest mage. Then he raised his hand and looked low-key. "Demon Sword Broken Seven", while shouting "I'm sorry!" he stabbed her in the heart.
"24, 13; three in the semicircle, two far and one auxiliary!" Jiang Rong raised his voice.
The first two numbers are the coordinates, and the second half of the sentence tells her enemy intelligence here: there are three people ambushing in the semicircular area from left to right in front of her, two with long-range attacks and one with long-range assistance.
There is no need to mention the dead mage. That is something that the master will be asked to praise after the counter-attack is over. It is not something that needs to be considered now.
As if in response, a loud wailing sounded not far away again.
"..." Jiang Rong slipped into the shadow behind the tree and blinked, "Master, your bad taste is here again..."
However, he is so handsome!
【RongRong】: Master, come on! ! ! (*???)
This cute message of encouragement was enough to show that she was in danger at the moment. Liao Jingchen, who was in the middle of the group fight, took out his hand and pressed the lower half of his face in the goat mask - just like someone pretending to be sleepy and yawning when they are crying, this is He had recently developed the habit of subconsciously covering up his smile.
The apprentice who was taught by himself immediately understood his tactical intention of counterattacking head-on, so he immediately changed his treatment to adding buffs and provided assistance. At the same time, he did not forget to pay attention to his own safety and eliminate worries... Although it sounds a bit like that, But this feeling of having a good wife really made Liao Jingchen feel comfortable.
He wanted to get rid of these people quickly and then take her to dance by the lake.
And if possible... hold the little guy in your arms again and take a nap on the soft grass.
The momentary distraction quickly cost Liao Jingchen, and the pain in his ribs made him frown.
A new message popped up immediately: [1or2? 】
The first is to give priority to treatment, and the second is to still give priority to assists. If you have the opportunity, add blood. If you don't have the chance, don't think about it.
This was the result of the communication between the two of them after they were scolded by Liao Jingchen in that mission chain copy when "Rong Rong" used powerful healing skills in a hurry, causing hatred and chaos and then the group was destroyed.
Liao Jingchen, who was accidentally injured, pretended to be hit by the control skills that followed. He curled up and landed on the ground. He used feints to deceive the opponent into two killing moves. Then he stood up like a carp and knocked away the weapon in the hand of the nearest swordsman. , and cut it off with a twist of the dagger.
【2】He typed back.
After receiving the order, Jiang Rong no longer hesitated. He held the bow and arrow in his hand and jumped out from behind the tree when he saw the opportunity.
The camera quickly switched. On one side, Liao Jingchen was moving left and right, harvesting lives. On the other side, Jiang Rong was focusing on self-preservation, taking advantage of every opportunity to make up for the duration of the buff effect.
Outside the screen, Shen Ziqiong's scalp was numb with joy. For a moment, it was hard to imagine that she was just watching an online drama at home instead of sitting in a cinema watching a movie with popcorn special effects.
Fighting side by side, it's so handsome and sweet, it makes me so happy!
Ever since Qin Jue dried up Jingxing River and returned to the crew, "Heart Shadow Link" has never missed a beat in the battle scenes. The fifth episode is still the same. The post-production special effects are full, the pace is dizzying, and there is a slight pause that Jiang Rong and Liao Jingchen is communicating through messages. There is no slow motion, no gap, and no random editing of perspectives. The look and feel is more than a little bit better than the two scenes of the previous campus parter Wu Xingyang and Gan Xiaoyu.
The only criticism I have to say is that this section is too dazzling and contains too much information. If the audience wants to see all the details clearly, they have to read it manually at 0.5x speed.
As for those who usually like to watch dramas at double speed, at this time, they may have been dizzy by the extremely fast scenes, and they may even make comments about it.
Shen Ziqiong kept thinking about these things, making herself laugh.
...Ouch! Why are you distracted!
She came back to her senses, slapped her forehead in annoyance, pulled back the progress bar, adjusted it back to its original speed, and started watching from the beginning of the group battle.
Looking at it, Shen Ziqiong said "Huh".
She pressed pause, looked at the screen carefully, and finally confirmed her thoughts.
This group of players who attacked "Jingchen" and "Rongrong" came with a mission!
The battle scene changed too quickly, and only now did she notice that there was a brief shot showing the enemy's perspective.
In this perspective, there is a task panel on the upper left, which is clearly marked "Task Chain 4: Encirclement and Suppression Operation". Depending on the context, this group of people is probably also doing large-scale tasks, but it is different from the hidden high-level task chain of [Heart-Searching and God-Searching]. Theirs is relatively ordinary, and one of the links is to find a certain NPC to get it. I received the mission item, but the NPC said, "The things you want are with [XX] and [XX]. If you want to get them, you can only rob them." Balabala...
Shen Ziqiong suddenly felt familiar. Wait, where have you seen this setting before...?
"Oh!" She clapped her hands suddenly, "Isn't this what I said in the third episode!"
Classic camp confrontation, positive and negative mission collision!
I almost forgot after two weeks. If I remember correctly, in the third episode of "Heart Shadow Link", the relationship between "Rong Rong" and "Jing Chen" was still very stiff. It was "Rong Rong" who tried hard to describe this task chain. It was interesting, and then "Jing Chen" failed to untie the relationship. Considering that the game official would arrange this kind of PVP (player vs. player) segment in the task chain, so that he could kill people to vent his anger when he was unhappy, so he reluctantly agreed to "Rong Rong". "A request to do a task together.
However, it didn't take long for Liao Jingchen in reality to break through the defense because he discovered Liao Hongjing's secret. When he doubted himself to the point of almost collapse, he grabbed the life-saving straw of "Rong Rong", and the originally rigidly bound task chain journey also disappeared. Because Liao Jingchen's temptation and Jiang Rong's vague affection turned into a road blockbuster of a young couple's adventure and flirtation during their ambiguous period.
After smoothing out this foreshadowing, Shen Ziqiong watched the group battle again and immediately saw more funny points.
For example, Liao Jingchen was still very irritable at the beginning, and he didn't like "Rong Rong", and he just wanted to chop melons, cut vegetables, and kill in the game. Now that the enemy he was expecting came to his door, he no longer had the bloodthirsty temperament and just wanted to kill. Tie Tie alone with "Rong Rong".
Isn’t it a kind of retribution in this world? Liao Jingchen, look at you!
Shen Ziqiong points and points.jpg
She was so happy that she continued to review, and saw that "Jingchen" and "Rongrong" cooperated with each other tacitly and intimately. She couldn't help but think of the previous time when "Jingchen" got angry and cursed because the dungeon was wiped out, but she was choked by "Rongrong" instead. The embarrassing moment made her smile even more.
Oops~ How come you two have developed to this point in the blink of an eye~
Shen Ziqiong sighed.
Then I suddenly discovered that the drama "Shadow Link" was progressing incredibly fast, and it was different from the idol dramas that found a reason at the beginning for the male and female protagonists to live together, kiss, and have a relationship. Does it include each other or strangers? The "encounter", from stranger to familiar "acquaintance", from the "acquaintance" of acquaintance to understanding, is about to advance to the "love" of mutual understanding...
Looking at it this way, the development of the emotional line is unexpectedly complete? !
Shen Ziqiong even pressed pause again and counted with his hands.
"Heart Shadow Link" has a total of twelve episodes, and this is only the fifth episode. Not even halfway through, the male and female protagonists are already just short of the last layer of window paper. What will the next seven episodes be about?
Could it be that the online game establishes a relationship, and then switches to the real world where the excruciating "when are you going to fall out of favor with each other?"
Shen Ziqiong felt curious and felt itchy.
The phone beeped, which was a recommendation notification for an application. Shen Ziqiong crossed it out and ignored it. Then he accidentally caught a glimpse of the clock on the screen and immediately opened his eyes wide and took a breath.
Why is this so important!
"I don't think about it anymore. It's 0.5x speed, I watch it over and over again, and I think about this and that... Shen Ziqiong, don't take this opportunity to waste time and fish, I'm warning you!"
Shen Ziqiong shook his head and warned himself.
She closed her eyes and took two deep breaths to clear her mind, and pressed play again with concentration and solemnity. At the same time, she stared at the screen, trying not to miss any details in the exciting group battle.
Not long after, something changed suddenly on the screen.
