"Because of my joy from the bottom of my heart, I understood one thing." Tang Ruotong said, "I have not worn that mask into my flesh. I still look forward to regaining my original dream and starting from the dust. , pointing straight to the top.”
"Without giving birth to an inch of slave bone, without showing a trace of charming smile, I will desperately move towards a future where no one can treat me like a piece of fish."
"So, Wang Chen, please teach me! How can I be like you, not afraid, not retreating, but moving forward bravely?"
Tang Ruotong stared at Wang Chen unblinkingly, as if she would stare forever if he didn't say something.
Wang Chen didn't answer her immediately.
He stood up, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it without saying a word.
After a long while, he said: "To be honest, I didn't expect that I would be like that in your eyes."
Wang Chen played with the water glass, "I'm not as brave as you said. I am also afraid, my mentality will collapse, and I often want to fall into trouble and spend my life numbly."
Tang Ruotong frowned, and Wang Chen continued: "How tempting is that? To completely abandon your stubbornness, stop fighting with others, don't have to sweat, and live in a way that no one cares about, doing nothing. To survive this life."
Wang Chen’s voice gradually became lower.
Suddenly, he turned to look at Tang Ruotong and said sonorously: "But I found that I can't do it."
"Because I will still be angry when I see injustice, I will still be confused when I see unevenness, and I will still feel heartbroken when I hear the cries of the poor."
"So I knew, I couldn't do it."
"Tang Ruotong, I am not the sun, I am a weak ordinary person. But it is precisely because I am weak that I choose to be strong."
"As I am afraid, so I choose to be brave."
Wang Chen's eyes were sincere, "If you want to regard something as your sun, then find the ideal that you are willing to do everything for. That will be the sun."
Tang Ruotong's eyes were dim and he listened quietly to the boy's heartfelt words.
"Such a sun is gentle, and the dirty puddles are evaporated by it, not to be judged, but to be redeemed. When the water in the puddles is drained of dirt and rises to the sky, it will become unrestrained clouds. To bring down the rain upon the lands that resound with mourning.”
"Find your sun and become such a flowing cloud, Tang Ruotong. Come with me."
Wang Chen stretched out his hand to her and asked solemnly: "Am I lucky enough to be your teammate?"
"I thought I understood you to a certain extent, but it turns out I'm still so far behind..." Tang Ruotong murmured.
After a moment, she stood up and stretched out her palm, "This is my honor."
The haze between the girl's brows and eyes dissipated, the clouds cleared and the rain cleared, and the long-lost two full moons appeared on her cheeks.
…
Wang Chen sent Tang Ruotong to the entrance of the alley and turned back.
The latter looked at his figure and stood there for a long time.
Her cell phone rang, it was a message from the class committee.
"How was it? Did you successfully confess your love to him?"
Tang Ruotong looked at the screen, a smile couldn't help but form on his lips, and typed: "That's right."
She turned around and walked back the way she came, this time her pace was much brisker.
…
Wang Chen returned home, washed the cup Tang Ruotong had used, ironed it again, and gave it back to his neighbor.
After being busy for most of the day, he finally had some temporary silence and simply lay on the bed in a daze.
"By the way, let's take a look at that skill book. I didn't look at it carefully before, I just scanned it briefly."
He took out the book from the storage ring and looked at it.
[Dragon Strike (Intermediate)]
[Explanation: After learning, you can release a powerful water attack, which has a piercing effect on the target, and hits the target's joints with a critical hit bonus. Cooling time is thirty seconds. 】
When Wang Chen saw what was ahead, there was no fluctuation in his heart. From the skill description, this skill was nothing outstanding.
But the cooling time of only thirty seconds made his eyes light up.
Thirty seconds? Doesn't that mean there is no cooling time? This skill can be cast almost continuously throughout the entire battle.
Find a secret place to try the power of this wave dragon attack. If it is considerable, it may not be able to become one of the main attack methods.
After all, the cooldown time of other skills is a bit long. Although you can drink medicine, there are always situations where Wang Chen needs to behave "normally".
That Dragon Strike will come in handy.
Wang Chen was just thinking about which secret realm he should go to to try his moves, when the system suddenly issued a mission.
[Hunt three gold-level ferocious beasts and be rewarded with 10,000 lottery points]
"Okay, now there's no need to worry. I can't go anywhere I want."
Wang Chen smiled bitterly.
He originally wanted to try out some public secrets with no entry restrictions and no fees.
As soon as this mission came out, he had to find a secret realm with gold-level ferocious beasts, and there were a lot of them for him to hunt around.
Wang Chen looked at the sky outside the window, got up, packed up and went out.
He went to Zhongzhi Trading House and bought a platinum-level secret realm ticket, which cost him half a million, and he could only get this price because he was a VIP.
"This career path is indeed full of thorns. Ordinary people can't get tickets to high-level secret realms, or they have to go to dungeons where there is no resurrection point like the previous Dark Plateau, and they may lose their lives."
"Either you have to go to low-level dungeons and grind hard, and you won't get much experience points after grinding for a whole day. No wonder upgrading is slower."
Wang Chen sighed.
Between sighs and sighs, he took the bus back home.
It's getting late today and it's too late to go leveling. It's better to go home early to rest and recharge your batteries.
After completing the second mission, Wang Chen has been too relaxed. Wang Chen plans to find his state from tomorrow and strengthen himself.
In the small restaurant outside the alley, Wang Chen luxuriously ordered a rice bowl with double toppings and had a full meal.
After returning home, I made some simple preparations for the next day's trip and went to bed early.
…
The next day, Wang Chen got up early and took the first bus to the teleportation array in the Platinum Secret Realm.
"Misty Island!"
Wang Chen saw the four big characters written on the signboard from a distance, took out the admission ticket and checked it to make sure it was correct and walked in.
There is a circle of white prohibition on the periphery of the secret realm teleportation array. If people without tickets want to enter, they will be blocked.
Only by holding the admission ticket in hand can the body pass through the restriction.
After a burst of warm white light, Wang Chen was sent to the secret realm by the teleportation array.
He slowly looked around at the situation, and for a moment he doubted whether he had bought a fake ticket.
"Why is the environment in this platinum secret realm so normal?"
Wang Chen casually stepped on the soil beside his feet.
"The weeds in this muddy ground actually grow so densely, so full of life that there is no sense of oppression at all."
Since Wang Chen completed the second mission, he has used the oppressive atmosphere of the Dark Plateau copy as a benchmark for other secret realms. Any place that is not as oppressive as the former feels like a barbecue camping camp.
But what he didn't know was that the Dark Plateau was the weirdest and weirdest place in the nearby secret realm, and no normal person would go there to practice leveling.
