Although the free world allows players to delete their accounts and practice again, there has never been anything like character inheritance or character reincarnation in the game settings. Even for the most advanced players with god-level equipment and skills, I haven't received any discount in terms of deleting my account and retraining. Xueling Huanbing at this time is a perfect example. She has lost all weapons, equipment and skills. Now she is no different from a first-level newcomer in the novice village. The only thing that remains about her is that she has never changed. The character's image, as well as the name of the ID on her head.
And this ID name has now become the most important thing she owns.
"……Who are you?"
"Oh, you probably don't know me. Anyway, I'm just an unknown person from a popular party. Unlike you, a big celebrity, there are a group of people who hear the news wherever you go..."
"Are you from Wings of Liberty?"
His eyes gradually became cold and sharp, and Xueling Huanbing, who was still sitting where he was, slowly spoke out in a cold voice: "Did Liangchen Meiyu send you here?"
"How could we be related to that kind of shabby guild?" Duzui Duxing shook his head with a grin: "Long before you guys started fighting in the Sky City, I was already He was sent to this place where nothing matters, and besides..."
"We have been here for so long, and we have never seen anyone from the Wings of Freedom come here." He looked at the woman's face with contempt: "You Wings of Freedom didn't seem to be doing much business here before. That’s right, the former Ice and Snow Goddess.”
"How they develop that guild has nothing to do with me." Xueling Huanbing's eyes became much clearer: "It has nothing to do with me now."
"Oh? Then why did you appear here...for some other reason?" Duzui Duxing, who was lying outside the window, raised his eyebrows above Zui's eyes: "For example...a disc or something like that?"
"I do know what you are talking about."
As if he mentioned a striking topic, Xue Ling Huan Bing's originally tense face gradually revealed an inexplicable smile: "And I can tell you that the disc has been taken away."
"If your mission is to capture that disk, then you can give up now."
The silent silence lasted for a moment as the two people's eyes met outside and outside the window. The smile on the player named Duzui Duxing's face slowly disappeared. He looked at the woman's cold face as if frozen. After a long while, he lowered his head and wiped his mouth: "Even if you have changed into what you are now, you are still as sharp and powerful as ever, Your Majesty the Dark Witch."
"That's not the case now." The woman sitting there tugged at the corners of her lips: "If you want to avenge someone, now is the best opportunity."
"I don't have any grudge against you, I just heard of your name." Duzui Duxing waved his hand in vain: "I heard that you have made some famous achievements with those bloody events. ...I don’t want to mess with you casually.”
"..."
"Okay, okay, you can't talk nonsense, right?"
Looking at the other party's eyes that suddenly became cold again, Duzui Duxing stopped lying on the window sill: "The disk is gone, and there is no need to ask about the trial. You..."
"Just think of it as a drunken drunk who has been talking nonsense before."
The staggering footsteps followed the player who claimed to be an alcoholic as he gradually left, and continued to extend deeper into the village road in the distance. Finally, together with the players who were still going in and out of this place, they disappeared into Carlo Village. In the darkness, Xueling Huanbing, who had been staring in that direction, then withdrew her extremely cold eyes. At the same time, she withdrew her shoulders that were gradually slumping: "Alas..."
"It seems you are in a lot of trouble."
"Hug, sorry."
The body shrank slightly, and the white-haired woman looked towards Duan Qing's direction with shrinking eyes: "I, I didn't expect it to be like this."
"You should change your name like me."
Reluctantly placing the last crystal glass bottle in his hand on the alchemy table, Duan Qing clapped his hands and turned around: "It doesn't matter what you look like. At most, familiar people can recognize you, but Things like names... By the way, how did you get your name as the Dark Witch?"
"..."
As if an unpleasant topic was mentioned, Xue Ling Huan Bing's expression began to become lonely. Duan Qing, sensing something was wrong, scratched the back of his head, but his desire to find a topic was blocked by the next moment. Interrupted by the smile that appeared in front of him: "It's okay, it's just some small things. It's not easy to meet you, these are not important anymore..."
"Really?" Duan Qing blinked his eyes slightly embarrassed: "How about changing your ID now?"
"What if I change my ID and you don't recognize me anymore? I'm going to call you by this name!"
"Okay, then let's... uh... I've finished sorting it out, and now I need to find a place for you to live..."
"Isn't it possible here?"
"Of course not-well."
Looking at the other person's watery eyes that had been looking at him, Duan Qing swallowed back the words he just wanted to say: "Well... how about you sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor."
"Can, is it okay?"
"What's not allowed?"
"I-I mean...I wouldn't mind if the two of us squeezed in."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The sound of a violent cough that was choked by saliva then sounded from the window of this small room. As Duan Qing staggered back, his figure gradually reflected on the other side of the window. He kept waving his hands and then retreated away with an embarrassed look on his face. From the farthest place on the wooden bed, he looked at this woman whose temperament seemed to have changed drastically with extremely shocked eyes: "Still, it's better to go to bed quickly. It's been a hard day today."
"Even if I don't die from exhaustion, I'm afraid I will be scared to death by you in the end."
The sound of gradually becoming heavier breathing spread around the room as the two people turned their backs to each other, accompanied by the embarrassment that arose when the two people didn't know what to do and gradually turned into reality. Silent and with a red face, Xue Ling Huan Bing finally took the lead and walked to Duan Qing, who had been sitting in the corner, and slowly placed the quilt that belonged to him on the bed on his body. The sound of humility being pushed back and forth could be heard vaguely in the night sky of the village, which was gradually becoming quiet. At the same time, there was another ambiguous fight between men and women, and as a female and a first-class trumpet Finally, under Duan Qing's insistence, Xue Ling Huan Bing slowly lay on the bed with the set of bedding: "Well, let's talk about it tomorrow. I will definitely find a replacement set tomorrow..."
"No need, just take care of yourself first."
"This, this is to take care of yourself! And I also need to find a set of clothes of my own, and I also have to go out to do quests and level up... By the way, how did you become a magician? Do I also want to train as a magician? ?"
"Practice a basket and go to bed first."
Slowly closing his eyes, Duan Qing, who was sitting next to the alchemy table, looked at the white-haired woman lying quietly on the bed with gentle eyes. The arm holding his chin with his hand then became heavier and heavier. The feeling became skewed, and finally he collapsed on a wooden table filled with glass bottles as his consciousness gradually fell into sleep - sleep in the free world is one of the necessary survival steps for players, and for a long time Characters who have not rested will gradually fall into a state of drowsiness under the forced simulation of the system. Forcibly waking up the spirit will not bring any benefit except bringing a series of abnormal negative states to the player character. On the contrary, it will accelerate this process due to the accumulation of fatigue values. A simulation process is carried out. After careful preparation the night before, and leading a group of novice players to play dungeons for a day, Duan Qing, who had not rested for a long time, also became a victim of this setting and was immediately beaten. The system's forced sleep fell to the table. Usually this time is used by players as a time to take a rest offline, but players who are forced to sleep may enter an unconscious state as if they are really asleep during this period, and want to wake up from this state. Come on, it can only rely on the player's physical attributes and potential willpower: "Woo..."
"Woooooooo..."
"I-am I asleep? What time is it now?"
"Woooooooooooo..."
Low sobs that did not belong to him gradually echoed in his ears. Duan Qing slowly opened his eyes. His mind, which was not very clear due to falling into a deep sleep, swayed back and forth in his blurred vision. Finally, it suddenly became clear as a certain picture caught his eye: "You, how did you..."
"Woooooooooooo..."
"You, why are you crying?"
Taking two steps to the edge of the wooden bed, Duan Qing slowly placed his carefully stretched out hands on Xue Ling Huanbing's tear-stained cheeks: "Didn't I tell you to sleep well? Why did you..."
"me……"
Shrinking his shoulders toward the quilt, Xue Ling Huan Bing looked at the man in front of him with his shining tearful eyes: "I'm afraid."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid you'll leave."
Her body twitched twice as she cried, and Xue Ling Huan Bing rarely showed a weak expression that she had never shown before: "I'm afraid that when I wake up, you, you will be gone... I'm afraid that this is all... It’s a dream, I’m afraid…”
"Didn't I tell you that I wouldn't leave? Why don't you believe me..."
"I'm afraid you're going to leave me again."
After sobbing and saying these words, Xue Ling Huan Bing pulled Duan Qing, who was still comforting herself, to the bedside: "I have always been alone...alone...I am afraid...that day... …On that day…ooohhhhhhh!”
The sudden loud cry echoed around the room with the final burst of Xue Ling Huan Bing, and then became dull as she buried her head in Duan Qing's arms. He had not moved for a long time and looked so expressionless. Patting the other person's back expressively, he let the crying sound that kept passing through his soul gradually spread into the distant night sky.
***************************
"Since that day you abandoned me, I left Wings of Freedom."
The passage of time, which seemed to last like a year, became much faster as the sky became brighter. At the same time, the crying that kept ringing in the ears gradually stopped, and Xueling Huanbing, whose mood gradually returned to stability, also relaxed. Holding each other's hands tightly, lying in Duan Qing's arms, he said quietly: "Of course the same goes for Tianxiang Company, and so does the Chu family."
"After something like that happened, I couldn't believe them anymore." Her voice still contained the calmness after crying: "So... I moved back to the room we lived in before."
"...Those devices are still there?"
"I convinced league officials to keep that equipment for me."
Gently sniffing his nose, Xueling Huanbing continued in a low voice: "But under the circumstances at that time, it was inevitable for me to quit the guild and the team, so the subsequent League Cup and other professional leagues , and I will not participate again.”
"...Giving up another championship? The alliance has made another fortune."
"If you can call it earned."
With the corners of his eyes slightly raised, Xue Ling Huan Bing looked up at the bright sky outside: "After what happened in Sky City, not many players will pay attention to that qualifier. Everyone is They flocked to the city floating in the sky, trying to catch a glimpse of the highest level of magic during the ancient magic empire."
"The City in the Sky...is open now?"
"Of course, right after the big version change."
Eyelashes covered with teardrops brushed twice in the air, and Xue Linghuan Bing, who was nestled in Duan Qing's arms, twisted her body: "Because of your activity, the Tower of Tyrann finally disappeared, and the Council of Mages finally became that Lord of the city and declared... a neutral city open to all."
"Maybe it's because the plot changed too quickly. Later, the free world went through a server shutdown update." She paused slightly when she said this: "The outage lasted for nearly three months. About a week later, the game world was reopened, which is now the Grand Master Era."
"The era of the Grand Master?" Duan Qing asked doubtfully, "What is that? Is it the name that the Council of Mages came up with while patting their foreheads?"
"No, the players named it themselves." Xueling Huanbing shook her head and replied: "Because...since that version update, many players have found that it has become very easy to learn skills and learn magic. Various swords The skill of integrating Qi and magic has become less difficult than before, and it is no longer a high-end skill that can only be mastered by professional players."
"An era in which masters emerge in large numbers and everyone knows martial arts is called the era of great masters."
Xue Ling Huan Bing, who stopped her sobbing forcefully, raised her head and looked at her with serious eyes: "You are the one who caused all this to happen..."
"You should know what caused it, right?"
