On the eve of the competition, the six safe cities were decorated with lights and colorful, and it was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
Even the three most expensive security cities [Old Royal Court Site], [Loxi Ancient City] and [Paint University City] are free to enter for a limited time, just to increase the popularity of their respective unions.
But these are only the excitement on the surface. The upper management of each trade union basically knows that since the Allied Army held a dinner in [Loxi Ancient City], Mr. Feng suddenly disappeared, and President Chen Huichen also no longer appeared.
The two unions, Tu Ling Mansion and Eleventh Street, worked hard to open dungeons of new maps overnight.
The system will broadcast new map updates every day.
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
This game, it seems, has changed.
Although the Alliance Military Trade Union did not explain anything about what happened that night at the dinner, and the Alliance Military Chamber of Commerce owned by Meng Ran continued to carry out large-scale transactions in an orderly manner, there was an obvious undercurrent in the relationship between the various trade unions.
After the battle in the underground palace, Chu Yang felt quite haggard. He stayed in the palace every day and night, drinking and seeing no one.
It was already evening. Ji Yuqing passed by the corridor and frowned when she saw the subordinates holding food at the door of the dormitory who did not dare to go in.
"The president doesn't eat again?"
The girl holding the food at the door shook her head, "He said that he would never die of hunger in the game anyway, so he rarely ate. Even so, the vice-president arranged for me to deliver food to him every day. It has been a week, if he doesn't Eat, the vice president kicked me out of the union..."
Ji Yuqing raised her eyebrows. Meng Ran still cares about this guy's life and death after things have been like this that day?
Logically speaking, she shouldn't be, she's so smart...
Ji Yuqing wanted to understand what was going on, and instantly raised the corners of her mouth.
She walked to the door and knocked on the door.
With the sound of "pop!", the crisp sound of broken porcelain came from the room.
The girl on the side lowered her head in fear. Ji Yuqing sighed without surprise and turned to take the girl's things.
"You go do your own thing and leave this to me."
The girl was relieved when she heard this and looked at Ji Yuqing with a grateful face.
"Thank you so much!"
After saying that, the girl leaned over and left quickly.
When Ji Yuqing saw the person leaving, she removed her smile and knocked on the door again.
An angry roar came from inside the house, "Get out! Get out of here!"
A hint of contempt flashed in Ji Yuqing's eyes. Has Chu Yang finally realized that he is no longer the protagonist of the game and is starting to give up on himself?
If it weren't for the fact that he was still useful, I wouldn't have gotten over it at all.
Thinking of the secret that Chu Yang knew, Ji Yuqing regained her smile and said sweetly to the door: "Brother Chu Yang, open the door, I am Yuqing. I know you are feeling uncomfortable, so I brought wine, and Yuqing will drink with you. ,OK?"
"..."
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened.
A tall man with stubble on his face, disheveled clothes and smell of alcohol stood in the door.
Ji Yuqing looked up and saw those narrow eyes glowing red, looking at him with a haggard expression.
The next second, a strong arm grabbed Ji Yuqing's waist. Ji Yuqing was caught off guard and was pressed into his arms, and all the food in the tray fell.
"Brother Chu Yang..."
Ji Yuqing, who had a huge circle of strength, could hardly breathe. For a long time, a hoarse voice came from above her head.
"Yuqing, everything is gone. Brother, I, from beginning to end, couldn't defeat them..."
Ji Yuqing's breath was filled with the smell of alcohol from Chu Yang. She suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and reached out to hug him.
"Brother Chu Yang, you are making Yu Qing feel uncomfortable... I don't know what happened, but brother, even if you lose everything, you still have me... You can't go on like this. In my heart, you are the most powerful Yes, if even you lose confidence in yourself, how can Yuqing survive in this doomsday?"
Chu Yang hugged the girl in his arms tightly, and buried his nose into her soft neck.
"Yu Qing, you have also seen the system prompts in the past few days. They have opened higher-level maps, almost every day... we can't catch up. We can't catch up with the people who do these cheats. Yun Xiao, Fang Shuning, they have For higher level accounts, we lose, we lose!”
Ji Yuqing gently stroked the man's back, as if comforting a giant beast. She raised her head and placed her lips on his ear.
"How could they lose? Brother, they just have accounts. But brother Chu Yang, you also have something they don't have."
The man was startled.
"I...have?"
Ji Yuqing's voice was full of confusion, "The competition for hegemony is about to begin. Brother Chu Yang, judging from the information you know, will our alliance army lose in level?"
Slender hands slowly lifted the face of the stubble-covered man in front of him.
Ji Yuqing stared at Chu Yang, "Brother Chu Yang, you should know more than them, right?"
Chu Yang's originally dazed eyes instantly focused on the face of the girl in front of him. Ji Yuqing's black and white eyes looked at him firmly, her face full of expectation.
"Brother, you won't lose, right?"
After a long time, the man grabbed the hand on his face and kissed it fiercely.
"Yes, I, Chu Yang, will not lose."
**
The former site of the Royal Court.
VIP reception room in the bounty mission hall.
The black and white checkerboard marble floor reflects the light outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Even when the sky darkens, the city at the former site of the Royal Court is still brightly lit.
A slender figure was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The man was wearing a black uniform and holding a crystal clear goblet between his fingers.
With the subtle movements of his fingertips, the scarlet liquid in the cup slowly rotated.
Fang Shuning leaned lazily on the sofa, raised his eyes and smiled at the man in front of the window.
"Long time no see, brother. Tusin has missed you a little, hasn't he?"
The man in front of the window exuded a terrifying aura. He turned his head slightly, revealing a white chin. Tu Xin stood behind him and lowered his head without saying a word. As the cold gaze swept over him, his body trembled slightly.
"You are joking, Master."
The corners of the man's mouth curled up, and he continued to look out the window. The tip of his slightly immature nose was straight, and his face was full of nostalgia as he looked at the castle in the distance.
"Xiao Ning, there is not much time before the competition. Can the dog you sent out come back?"
"I've been waiting for a long time."
Fang Shuning smiled slightly and clapped his hands.
After a while, there was a "dong-dong" knock on the door.
"Come in."
As the door opened, Ji Yuqing walked in from outside and knelt down on one knee towards Fang Shuning.
"Master, I'm back."
Fang Shuning touched Ji Yuqing's head, raised his chin and looked towards the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"You haven't seen me for a long time, haven't you? Do you miss him?"
Ji Yuqing's body stiffened instantly. Is that person back?
Ji Yuqing turned her head to look in the direction of the floor-to-ceiling windows. The next second, her eyes were full of doubts.
Why do you feel that he is much shorter?
The man in front of the floor-to-ceiling window raised his head and took a sip of wine. "Tell me, what does Chu Yang want to do about the competition?"
As soon as the man's voice came out, Ji Yuqing took a deep breath.
It's him? !
"You...you are..."
Hearing this, the man turned around and walked from the dark window into the indoor light.
"We meet again, eldest sister."
Ji Yuqing was so horrified that she almost sat on the ground.
Zhou Xiang is actually Fang Xiang? !
"Zhou...Zhou Xiang?! Why, you...you become like this...your face..."
He was obviously in his mid-twenties, and she had seen that face before. How could he look like a child?
Zhou Xiang narrowed his eyes and smiled as he pulled Ji Yuqing up from the ground.
"It's so cold on the ground, get up and talk."
Fang Shuning seemed to be very interested in the plot in front of him. He tilted his head and looked at the girl on the ground.
"Tuxin, look, our Yuqing's eyes are straight. Speaking of which, few people have seen my face when I was sixteen or seventeen. I don't blame her for being frightened. But it's no wonder you are so surprised. After all, , my brother’s skill is [Time Reshaping]..."
Ji Yuqing suddenly understood what was going on. It turned out that he had used his skills to change his height and appearance. The two brothers' skills were really similar.
She immediately looked away and lowered her head.
"Sorry sir, to you at that time, I..."
Zhou Xiang smiled and sat on the single sofa nearby. He crossed his legs and squinted his eyes, no longer showing the frank look he had on Eleventh Street.
"You have been lurking in the Alliance Army for so long, you should know something useful, right?"
Ji Yuqing swallowed her saliva and said quickly, "Yes, sir. During this period, Chu Yang saw that his master and Yun Xiao had been opening new maps, and he was already heartbroken. I took the opportunity to get out the information he knew. For the competition..."
Zhou Xiang raised his hand, "Wait a moment."
Ji Yuqing was startled, and then she saw the immature boy in front of him put down the cup in his hand, folded his hands, sat on the sofa and leaned toward him.
He opened his eyes, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Miss Ji, you have been lurking for such a long time, but you only got information about the competition?"
