With flowing and messy hair, the novice uniform on his body has disappeared, replaced by a handsome armor - the evil young man from Jie City who once ventured into the Emerald Forest with Duan Qing, looks like this reappeared in front of him. However, what is different from Duan Qing's imagination is that the guy who left him with "bragging and spanking all day long, and who likes to show off even if he has no strength" seems to be less interested in showing off now.
"You, is that you?" Jiecheng's evil young man asked with some uncertainty: "When we were in Greenstone Village... you still remember me, right? We once formed a team and went into the forest to look for someone together..."
"Ah, of course I still remember you." Duan Qing said with a smile: "Later we tried to find you, but we didn't know where you went..."
"Ah hahaha, at that time I..."
"Young Master, is this your friend?"
The leader who wanted to lead the team through followed the footsteps of the evil young man from Jie City and came over: "Who are you?"
"Oh, this is my friend who we formed a team with when we were in Novice Village." The evil young man from Jie City quickly introduced him: "This is our captain, his name is Ladder."
"Nice to meet you." Looking at the player who had been talking and passing by them before, Duan Qing nodded and said hello: "I am Mo Shang Qingshan."
"It's a new face, but it's still polite." The other person looked him up and down, and then nodded: "Hello."
He reached out and patted Duan Qing's left arm, then turned around and asked: "That... colorful aura, is this your new person?"
"It's not confirmed yet, we're just chatting now." Qicai Lingguang, who was sitting in the pergola, looked here: "The final situation is to wait for the rest of the people to come back... Where is Lao Yang?"
"Forget it, a mistake in movement caused Brother Dog to be sent back with one shot. Although the mission is barely completed, we still have to wait for someone..."
"Go and call two people outside."
"Do you think good teammates are just cabbage, and they can be called whatever you want? All those savages who shouted before were of no use..." The player with the ID name Ladder crossed his arms, and then looked at Duan Qing: "Unlike you, you can always find treasures...Is this your first time here?"
"Yes, we are studying the situation here now." Duan Qing replied.
"There is still something to learn. The battlefield is a very cruel place." Ladder nodded, recognizing the other party's identity: "If you don't have the strength to fight hard, you will have to pay a lot of tuition before you can adapt here."
"This person is very powerful." The evil young man from Jiecheng standing between the two people suddenly said: "I saw him when we were in Novice Village... He should be fine."
"Really?" Ladder's eyes turned back and forth between the two people, and asked with some confusion: "Is he your friend in real life?"
"No, it's not..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
The warrior carrying a big ax shook his head and looked at the two people, then pointed here and turned back to the rest of his teammates and said: "It seems... our bad boy classmate also has someone he likes!"
"Looking at your normal appearance, I thought you didn't know any friends here."
"Well……"
"Now that we have met a friend, let's have a good chat." Ladder turned around and waved, then walked back to his team first: "We are waiting for you outside, and we have to make good plans next... Hehehe , where did we talk before?”
"Secondary students are afraid of limited editions..." A person from behind said helplessly.
"Ah, that's right, so don't look at those leaders who are dressed up to the nines. After all, they are still human beings..."
The Big Ax Warrior continued to talk and laugh, and gradually walked away with his teammates, but the evil young man from Jie City was left alone. He looked at the people leaving, as if he was hesitant to speak, but before he could say anything, Duan Qing's voice sounded behind him: "You have changed a lot."
"Ah...yeah, haha."
So the evil young man from Jie City had no choice but to turn his head and show a smile: "I didn't expect... to see you here again."
"Me too." Duan Qing waved to the other party, and then sat down in the pergola again: "Tell me about it, I think you have experienced a lot during this period..."
"yes……"
With a somewhat melancholy look in his eyes, the evil young man from Jiecheng hesitated for a while, then walked up to Duan Qing and told his story.
"Actually, what happened that day when you died and returned to the Novice Village didn't have a big impact on me. Thinking of your... situation at that time, I thought you would also die and come back soon." The evil young man from Jiecheng thought for a while. Then he picked a place and started to say: "But then you didn't show up, so I knew... you survived."
"So I was a little unwilling... Of course it wasn't for money. Everyone in Xinshou Village is very poor, so the promised share doesn't matter. I just don't want to stay there like this, it will make me feel very powerless. . I found another team, one that went to the south of the village to collect medicinal herbs, but then they encountered wild boars and that team was wiped out again..."
"Thinking about it now, I was mentally broken at that time, and I didn't even have the mood to pretend. There were some changes in the situation in the village. Those people in the big guild seemed to have received some news, one by one. They all looked irritable, so I didn’t want to stay there any longer, so I just randomly found a recruiter from a small guild and joined them.”
The evil young man from Jiecheng looked at the wooden ceiling of the pergola, and then sighed: "I don't want any benefits. The only request I made at that time... was to take me out of Novice Village."
"What a bitter history." Beside Duan Qing, the voice of Colorful Spirit rang out at the right time: "Why haven't I heard you say that before?"
"What's there to say about such a thing?" The evil young man shook his head: "And what happened afterwards was not very good either."
"The people in that guild did help me get out of the novice village, but they didn't care about me much after that. I was still a little upset at the time, but now that I think about it, maybe it was because they thought I was too weak, so they didn't care much about me. Just take care of me." The evil young man took out his weapon - a broad and thick sword, put it in his hand and rubbed it slowly: "I left that guild angrily, and then joined another. One guild, and then… another guild.”
"In just three days, this situation happened several times, and I also participated in some activities organized by them. However, I was resentful and never felt that there was anything better. Instead, I felt the so-called malice everywhere, so I took this path. In the end, I was left alone."
Looking at his own face reflected on the surface of the shining broadsword, the evil young man from Jie City smiled bitterly: "Then I heard the news about the Emerald Forest."
He looked at Duan Qing, and then suddenly asked: "Is it... you did it?"
"Yes." Duan Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Hey, what news are you talking about..."
"I had been in Tania for a while, but my level was extremely low." Ignoring Qicai Lingguang's questions, the evil young man from Jie City continued in a low voice: "I don't have a guild, and I don't want to level up. I'm depressed. I even had the thought of quitting this game because I didn’t know what I should do or what I could do in this game... I only accidentally heard the news when it became a topic of chat among the residents of the capital after dinner. Arrived."
"I carefully recalled our team back then, including you, Mengzhu, Aniu, later Xueling Huanbing, and that inexplicable woman... Haha." A bitter smile appeared on the evil young man's face. : "You know? I have a vague understanding in my heart."
"It seems like I missed 100 million."
"This kind of thing is inherently uncertain." Duan Qing shook his head and smiled: "Just like you now, aren't you doing quite well?"
"Yes." The evil young man from Jie City looked at the other party, and then sighed: "Later... the war between the two countries broke out, and I came over."
"Although in terms of results, my choice seems to be good, but looking back on my mental state at the time, I just wanted to find a place to vent." He lowered his head: "The unfairness of fate and the passage of opportunities , and...my own incompetence."
"I fought desperately on the battlefield, killed many people, and was killed many times. Later, I gradually got used to it and adapted to this kind of life. Then in this rhythm, I slowly walked to where I am today. .”
The light coming from the patio has been shining on the top of the pergola, casting a shadow on several people, but it disappeared at this time, which was a sign that the sun was blocked by clouds.
"During this period, I got to know many people and said goodbye to many people. Gradually, I stopped bragging and pretending. I just cut and slashed in battle after battle. In the end, even the reward could not motivate me. It's my turn." Looking at the gloomy weather outside, the evil young man from Jiecheng said slowly: "Now that I think about it, I feel a little..."
"You don't recognize me anymore."
"You are quite good as you are now." After a while, Duan Qing responded: "The battlefield is indeed a place where people are trained."
"Haha, it's hard for me to accept what you suddenly said." The evil young man from Jie City laughed: "If it were me before..."
"This is the charm of virtual games." Duan Qing said: "It would be the same for other people, as long as they have the same experience as you..."
"That's not necessarily true. For example, before, I definitely couldn't see the strength of you and others. I just knew that you were very powerful. As for how powerful you were, I had no idea in my mind. Maybe I have become stronger now. , but the more your strength improves, the more you can feel the gap between them from the previous scenes..."
"After all, I am still a rookie who only knows how to brag, and you... if it were you who went to the battlefield..."
The evil young man from Jie City looked at Duan Qing and said, "He must be stronger than me."
"Isn't this nonsense? Of course I am better than you." Duan Qing wiped his nose disdainfully: "I don't even think about what we did back then..."
"I still didn't believe it at first, but now, it's better for me to believe it." The evil young man said with a wry smile: "Although...such a conclusion will only lead to more questions."
"Huh huh huh." Duan Qing chuckled for a while, then looked at the other person again: "Okay, veteran, bad boy, I'm a newbie who just got here, so I need you to take more care of me in the future."
"Don't say that, I don't believe you would need my guidance." The evil young man from Jie City shook his head and said, "The battle on the lawn in front of the Emerald Forest, I still feel scared when I think about it..."
"Don't mention those little things anymore." Duan Qing patted the other party's shoulder, then looked around: "How about it? Would you like to find a place to have a drink and chat for a while?"
"No need, our captain had some doubts about me before." The evil young man shook his head and said: "After Lao Yang died and returned, our team became even more incomplete. If I leave again..."
"Hey, I don't mean to poach you." Colorful Lingguang, who had been silent all the time, immediately said, "Otherwise, wouldn't that guy with the ladder still have to fight for me?"
"Haha, that's right." The evil young man from Jie City scratched his head: "Don't look at the ladder, he is actually a competent captain, and his command on the battlefield is also very good."
"I didn't say anything bad about him..." Duan Qing smiled and patted him: "Since you still have something to do, go ahead and do what you want. Don't let your captain wait for you too long, in case he detains you What if I don’t give you anything in the future?”
"No, we are all very familiar people..."
While joking, the two exchanged some recent news with each other, and then separated. It wasn't until the player carrying the broad sword left that Qicai Lingguang asked her question: "You actually know the evil young man from Jie City?"
"What, is this weird?"
"Ever since he appeared in the team in our mixed battlefield dungeon, this guy rarely talks and has no friends." Qicai Lingguang explained: "He is just a very hard-working person. You know, he is not afraid of death on the battlefield. Guys... tend to be the scariest guys."
Duan Qing lowered his head and said nothing.
"Although I was very good at the beginning, I have mastered it now, so I am an indispensable member of Ladder's men. I didn't expect that I still have old friends." Qicai Lingguang looked at Duan Qing: "I heard you guys chatting there before. Piling up words that others can’t understand... It seems like you two have a deep relationship, right?"
"It's just that we are on the same team, not deep at all." Duan Qing sighed: "It's just... I didn't expect that he would change so much."
"Don't look at the relaxed look on the guy's face when he walked up the ladder. In fact, he must be very panicked." After looking at the other person for a while, Qicai Lingguang laughed: "But it's a good thing for me...what? Are you interested in joining our team?"
"After talking for so long, you still don't want me to join... You should at least introduce your teammates first, right?"
"What do you think we are doing here? We are not waiting for me..."
"Hello!"
A female voice suddenly sounded next to the two of them: "Why are you still here!?"
