As night fell, the city was bustling with traffic and brightly lit, but a tired figure was alone among the crowd. He walked into the community around the corner and took out the door lock.
"Beep~~, the door is unlocked."
Walking into the dark corridor, the code lock opened the shared apartment. Several other doors in the house were closed, and occasionally the sound of a phone call came from the room. He took out the key and turned the keyhole, entering his own little world for the time being.
"Huh, I'm so tired!" Su Chen threw his bag in the corner tiredly and lay on the soft bed. Su Chen let out a long sigh. As a social worker with 996 blessings, being able to get off work early today was entirely because his boss was on a business trip. for the sake of.
Is it worth living a numb life for a salary of several thousand yuan a month? This thought often circled in Su Chen's mind, but soon the exhaustion of life left him no time to care about it.
"Ding dong." The crisp QQ voice sounded. Su Chen picked up the phone curiously and saw a profile picture of a Teutonic knight holding a sword dancing.
"Is the leader here?"
"[Smiley face], long time no see, Astor."
"Yeah, what are you busy with?"
"Go to work, live the life of a social beast [sigh]."
"Same, have you heard? The author of "Into the Middle Ages" is going to write a new book."
"[Crying and laughing] That old eunuch finally remembered and wants to continue his hanging?"
"Don't even think about continuing it, I'll probably write a new medieval story! [Embarrassing]."
"I wonder what era it will be written about this time, or the German lords?"
Su Chen was lying on the bed, holding his mobile phone in both hands while typing, and the corners of his mouth could not help but turn up slightly. Astor was a friend of the medieval novel readers group when he was still in school. At that time, they discussed the Middle Ages in the group without any worries. The culture, system and military, knights in armor fighting each other, the collision of swords and spears, the romance of heavy armored cavalry charging.
"Nordic! I remember you knew the Nordic culture best at that time. Do you still wear Viking accessories now?"
"I stopped playing it a long time ago. Even the hidden sword I made at that time was given away [laughter]"
Su Chen shook his head helplessly. The moment he entered the society, he had no choice but to abandon his hobbies and interests that could not support him at all.
"What a pity. You are really talented. Is it because your wife doesn't let you play? [Squints]"
"Mao Yao's wife, I don't have a gift of two or three hundred thousand yuan, I'm single, [crying and laughing]."
"Hahaha, women only affect the speed of drawing the sword. That guy from Glory is still playing armor, and he even showed us a piece of heart armor yesterday."
"【picture】."
"666666, I admire you brother."
……………
Su Chen looked at the piece of heart armor and felt a sadness in his heart. He couldn't help but think of his hidden sword made of wood and rubber bands. He had visited several forum bosses to make it and even carved it. The Nordic style decoration is beautiful.
"Remember when we said that if we could time travel, we would go to that country? You are the only one willing to go to Northern Europe."
"Yes, the Nordic barbarian style is what I like the most."
"Wouldn't it be nice to be a noble knight?"
"[Crying and laughing] If you can travel through time and become a noble lord, if you become a serf in the southern countries, it will be worse than death. But the Vikings are different. They are still in a tribal system, and slaves can be released into freedom. People, some of the great Viking warriors were slaves."
"I still think the knights are great, but the Viking barbarians are all muscles and not very interesting to watch."
"Vikings are not just brute force. On the contrary, many of them are very cunning. Otherwise, they would not be able to sweep across Europe, occupy England, and almost capture Paris."
"Awesome! Hahaha, it would be great if we could travel through time. I would be a knight and you would be a Viking barbarian, commanding thousands of troops and destroying the Green Luo [Squint Eyes] together."
"[laughing and crying]."
Su Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. When he turned off his phone, he couldn't fall asleep for a long time due to those haunting medieval battle scenes.
"Ma Dan, you can just enjoy the ride and chop."
Thinking of this, Su Chen also felt itchy. He didn't care that he might not be able to get up tomorrow, so he turned on the computer and prepared to play some knight-errant swordsmanship and CK3.
A burst of melodious music sounded, and the map of Europa was displayed on the screen. Su Chen immediately concentrated on the game.
Unconsciously, it was already dark outside. Su Chen rubbed his red eyes, yawned, and his stomach growled.
"Damn, this is what I ordered, let's just order takeout." Su Chen looked at the time, and it was already 11:15.
"Ding dong."
Suddenly, a message popped up on the screen, causing the game to freeze.
"What the hell, is there any discount on Steam?"
Su Chen squinted his eyes and looked at this piece of information carefully.
【Want to become a warrior in the medieval era? Click me and your wish will be fulfilled]
"What the hell kind of propaganda?" Su Chen laughed so hard that he had the nerve to make such an early announcement.
"Dong dong dong." But along with a burst of drums, a soft chant came from the speakers. Su Chen was slightly startled. This was not an ordinary drum beat, but an ancient chant from Northern Europe.
"It's interesting! Well, at worst, you'll have to skip lunch. You're too cruel to be fat." Su Chen shook his head helplessly, put his hand on the mouse, and moved the white arrow to it.
"Don't order."
Suddenly, Su Chen felt a buzzing in his head, and his ears suddenly started ringing. At the same time, a small voice emerged vaguely.
"Damn it, my ears are ringing. I really need to go to bed early. Forget it, let's save some money! What if there's a discount next time?" Su Chen hesitated and moved the mouse away from the promotion.
This piece of propaganda was in the color of parchment, with unique Viking patterns on the edges. It looked quite decent, but Su Chen resisted the urge and stretched out to order takeout and go to the public utility room. Take a shower in the bathroom.
The moonlight shone on the computer from the gap in the curtains, and the promotional text flashed with silver light in the moonlight. Something like a spell appeared wherever the light went, but it quickly disappeared.
"Your takeout has arrived."
Su Chen had just finished taking a shower when he heard the voice of the takeaway boy outside. He quickly opened the door and took the takeaway.
"Find a drama for dinner!" Su Chen opened the still warm fast food box while looking for a new drama.
"Vikings, it's an old show, but you can watch it."
"Nagra actually died. I'll go. It's still a matter of opinion, but Bjorn is so handsome."
"When the old pig suffers, how does the little pig scream? Hahaha, you are dead, king."
Su Chen ate fast food while watching the Viking legend. He was angry when he saw Nagra being thrown into the pit of poisonous snakes and died, and cheered when he saw the Vikings unite and send the king to the Blood Eagle.
"Ping ping ping, why don't you sleep at this late hour?" Suddenly, Su Chen's wall was knocked, and the roommate who shared the apartment made a dissatisfied sound.
"I'm going to go, I haven't been arguing with my girlfriend all night, damn it." Su Chen whispered unhappily, but it's not easy to work in a big city, and he didn't aggravate the conflict, so he had to put on headphones, but soon this season The play is over.
"It's still not enough. By the way, the game just now should be from the Viking series! I don't know if it's farming, action, or strategy, it doesn't matter! Play it and then fall asleep." Su Chen suddenly jumped out when he thought about it. promotion, so he put down the webpage. Fortunately, he did not turn off the promotion. It was placed quietly in the center of the screen, with a pair of Viking eye protection helmets on the top, like human eyes, staring at Su in front of him. morning.
"Kada." Su Chen moved the mouse over the advertisement, clicked the mouse with his finger, and a crisp sound sounded.
"Hum, the contract is reached and the transmission begins."
When the mouse clicked on it, a dull man's voice sounded, and the eyes of the Viking eye protection helmet turned red.
"Are you so good at it?" Su Chen couldn't help but sneered. With such a good-looking line, he didn't think he was a serious developer.
"Quack, quack, quack." At this time, Su Chen's computer screen went dark, which confused him. Before he could react, he heard a crow's cry, and countless flying crows appeared on the screen.
"Buzz buzz~~~." These crows actually jumped out of the frame and surrounded Su Chen. Su Chen turned over from the chair in panic, but when he finally got up under the attack of the crows, , and found that it was pitch black all around.
"What's wrong with me?" Su Chen wanted to shout to attract others' attention, but he found that he couldn't make any sound at all, and then gradually lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.
For a long time, Su Chen felt something dazzling. His eyelids jumped a few times and slowly opened. What entered his eyes was golden light falling from countless gaps. The warm wind blew gently on him, and the tip of his nose surrounded him. The smell of grass and cow dung mixed together.
"What's wrong?" Su Chen only felt something hard underneath him, and when he touched it with his hand, there was also a rough cutting feeling, as if he was sleeping on a pile of hay.
Su Chen took a sharp breath, and the air filled his lungs, and then a feeling of vomiting came into his throat. He sat up quickly and retched on his side.
"Ugh~~." But after vomiting for a long time, Su Chen couldn't spit it out, so he wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand.
"Water, where is the purified water?" He vaguely remembered that there was a bottle of purified water on his bedside table from the day before yesterday. He instinctively reached out and took a look, but there was no cold feeling of purified water. Instead, he touched a soft and soft bottle. Furry stuff.
"Mou~~." A cow suddenly flashed its big eyes with long eyelashes, curiously looked at Su Chen in front of it, and let out a dull cry from its wet mouth.
"Huh? Cow!" Su Chen's eyes, which were originally a little astigmatic, were extremely clear at this time. He could even see the small bugs crawling on the cow's nose, and the hot breath from the cow's mouth and nose sprayed on his face.
Su Chen jumped up. How could there be a cow suddenly in his room? But when he stood up, he unexpectedly found that it was a cowshed made of thatch and wood, and he was lying on a pile of hay. Above, not far away is a pile of smelly cow dung.
