"Old fox! I almost fell into his trap."
After turning off the rune lines displayed by the magic projection, Duan Qing cursed unconsciously, and then secretly curled his lips under the amused expression of Xue Ling Huan Bing on the side: "No, he should have long ago He should have noticed it, he must have noticed it.”
"I don't seem to be as old as you." He was so weak that he could still only move his head, but the smile on Xue Ling Huan Bing's face grew bigger and bigger: "You have met your opponent. .”
"Mere intelligence extraction and the like can't prove anything." Duan Qing slowly walked to the stone bed where the opponent was, and waved his hand with a look of reluctance: "If we really fight him, This level of information is not enough to determine the outcome of each other.”
"But if it's a comparison of strength, you seem to be no match for the leader of the Zhuangsi clan." Xue Ling Huanbing squinted his eyes and snorted with disdain: "Or take our current floating city and the entire Zhuangsi clan Comparing clans? It seems that the other party looks more powerful."
"...Forget it, let's not talk about this issue for now." Finally, he brushed away the topic with an embarrassed look, and Duan Qing slowly sat down next to the bed: "Since the patriarch can see that, then It was only a matter of time before other tribes noticed the clues."
"The reason is that Nasia herself is not here." Xueling Huanbing also frowned: "In this area, there is also the reputation of the divine messenger... everything is gathered in Nasia's If she, as the leader, is not present, trouble will naturally start to appear."
"We can help maintain the competition, and our reputation will not be affected for the time being." Duan Qing's hands clasped together as he thought deeply: "The key is strength - if someone really plans to do something evil, we can just rely on what we have on hand. The power and resources above may not be able to stop it.”
"Without hard power as a guarantee and support, it is indeed difficult for us to truly gain the right to speak in this grassland." The voice nodded seriously, and Xueling Huanbing then let out a helpless sigh: "Damn it, if I hadn't changed It’ll be fine if it’s like this.”
"Your body still can't recover?"
"The system has given me a negative effect of 'mental weakness' in my character's status bar. Although the speed of disappearing and passing does not match the actual time, the duration is still calculated in days... That Chu Mingqing thing Man, I'm going to make him pay sooner or later."
"I don't want to see you actually killing each other with your own blood relatives. You'd better heal your injuries first." Duan Qing's voice intersected with Xue Ling Huan Bing's white palms. He continued to ask in a low voice: "Have you ever tried to log off?"
"Of course I've tried it, there's no problem." Xue Ling Huan Bing turned around and raised her eyebrows: "But going offline doesn't seem to be of any help to my character's recovery. How long should it last or how long should it last... Can you Don't try to drive me out of here, there is absolutely no possibility."
"Then have you ever thought about-"
"never thought about."
As if he knew what Duan Qing wanted to ask, Xue Ling Huan Bing denied it again with a firm face: "Since I have become like this, repairing the game cabin is just in vain. You might as well keep it and let me use it. The rights of Yi Jian, give me some opportunities to resist."
"...Ha, it suits your style very well." Duan Qing rubbed the palm of his hand that was holding the other person's hand slightly, and his eyes moved away from the white-haired woman's raised eyebrows: "Okay, I will do it again Think of other ways to make up for your current mental 'deficiency'."
"If possible, I hope to use the second option you mentioned before." Xueling Huanbing still stared at Duan Qing's face: "Can't you do it now? Since you can If I can do it, I can definitely do it.”
"..."
Still keeping their hands clasped together, the voices between Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing were temporarily silent. The gray-robed magician, who was thinking about something, was just about to speak, but he hesitated. But he was interrupted by the codeword Ninglan who suddenly appeared in the room: "Mr."
"Today's competition in the Barish Conference has ended." She glanced at Duan Qing's hurried release of Xue Ling Huan Bing's palm, and the expression on her face still maintained a natural smile: "This is the result of the competition, sir, please take a look. .”
"It turns out I know something." He muttered this to himself, but Duan Qing, who looked slightly unnatural, still took the parchment roll handed over by the maid: "But... those tribes still gritted their teeth and took it. Today’s game is over, I didn’t expect that.”
"Including the Yatta tribe, most of the Central Grassland tribes living here still won the victory without any danger." Holding her hands together, Anyu Ninglan continued to answer in a light voice: "But after what happened, After so many days, it has become difficult for large tribes not to come into contact with each other. Tomorrow there should be a confrontation between some of the more famous tribes on the grassland on the stage of the martial arts field."
"Sir, is there any game you want to watch?" The maid player asked with a smile: "Ninglan can make arrangements for you in advance."
"If there is really a game that I want to watch, I can just use the magic surveillance system in front of me." He smiled dryly and pointed behind him. Duan Qing's eyes continued to flicker around: "And this place is completely different. You can't live without me, there are still so many things waiting for me to do..."
"Ninglan has also made arrangements for tomorrow's competition." As if she had already prepared to deal with everything Duan Qing said, Ninglan then took out a piece of parchment with densely written small words. Volume: "Because the hunting competition has been put into practice, Ninglan believes that this big battle-like mode is very suitable for the remaining contestants, so Ninglan has also drawn up many new competition modes, hoping to be able to enter Mr. Dharma Eye.”
"This..." He took the new parchment roll helplessly, and Duan Qing's evasive eyes finally followed his turning body and returned to the stone bed: "Okay, wait. Me - Huh? Where are the people?"
"If you are referring to Miss Lingbing, she should have been offline just now." She tilted her head while maintaining a smile, and whispered to Ninglan towards the empty bed where Duan Qing had just discovered the look of shock. Pointing, "Ninglan also saw her offline glow."
"This guy." So Duan Qing could only hold the parchment roll in his hand and gritted his teeth: "It doesn't even leave any room for explanation... Ahem, it's okay. Where did we talk just now?"
"Sir, if you still have some thoughts of your own, please tell Ninglan as soon as possible." Pointing to the scroll in the gray-robed magician's hand, Ninglan's reply was still extremely sweet: "Ninglan is fine. Be more prepared in time so you don’t have to be in such a hurry like this morning.”
"There are many reasons for the chaos. Today's situation is just a little special." His eyes stayed on the still empty stone bed for a moment, and Duan Qing finally sighed and put away the countless thoughts that suddenly flashed in his mind: "Anyway, now that we've come this far -"
"Then we can only continue on this path."
Unconsciously he frowned his eyebrows, and his eyes were then attracted by the parchment roll unfolded in his hand. The small, elegant-looking characters were neatly placed on the surface of the parchment roll, and the neat handwriting also contained There was a familiar feeling of nostalgia: "...you wrote this all?"
"What do you think, sir? Has Ninglan regressed?"
"Of course not, it's the same as always...uh."
After raising his fingers and gesticulating in the air for a while, Duan Qing finally put away the words he was about to blurt out: "Anyway, thank you for doing so much work for us."
"If I can help you a little bit, everything Ninglan has done will be worth it." The maid player put her hands together and replied with a smile: "Ninglan knows that Mr. Ninglan has been paying attention to everyone on this grassland. There is a trend, so Ninglan also wants to help Mr. share some of the pressure."
"...The Holy Mountain is not our final destination, and I don't know what we will encounter when we arrive there." After answering this sentence, Duan Qing, who was still looking at the parchment roll, his voice became a little deeper. Points: "I am in this state only because of some unrealistic hope and the idea of passing the time out of boredom. I don't want to ignore you and other people who silently support me in the real world. .”
"Ninglan doesn't mean that." Walking in front of the gray-robed magician, Ninglan still kept a smile on her face: "Ninglan just thinks that if sir has any problems that can't be solved, he can ask Ninglan more Let’s talk to other old friends.”
"It's not in vain that you spent so much effort to come here to find me, right." Duan Qing finally moved his eyes away from the Juanran font in front of him for a moment: "The biggest problem we are currently facing is that you should I know, do you have any clues?"
"Of course." Ciyu Ninglan replied with a smile: "Ninglan has contacted Miss Yushang offline. Miss Yushang seems to have also contacted the Lin family. I heard that Mr. Jian Beidong has always been online. This I haven’t come out of the game cabin for several days.”
"That means the fight isn't over yet."
Duan Qing involuntarily looked up at the top of his head, and Duan Qing's helpless eyes gradually disappeared into the black walls of the tower surrounding him: "Well, when they went upstairs together, I knew they would appear sooner or later. Such a situation."
"This is not the most serious problem Ninglan has encountered since she returned to reality." Ninglan then shook her head and said, "I heard from Miss Yushang that the alliance that was secretly competing with them was intensifying their efforts. With the intensity of the search, their alliance investigators discovered a suspicious signal during a recent search, and the search manpower has been secretly spread out."
"The provider of the signal is from the Chu family." The maid player who said this continued in a lowered voice: "According to the latest news and intelligence, the burst characteristics of the suspicious signal and the 'abnormal data flow that is harmful to the human brain' related."
"... Following the signal flow, it locked onto us—does Ling Bing know about this?"
"Miss Lingbing should know better." Nodding her head, Enyu Ninglan continued in a low voice: "Miss Lingbing has been warned by the alliance before about Yi Jian. She also wanted to get rid of similar tracking. She just moved out of the family, and now that we don’t know where she is hiding, it will probably take some time for the investigators to find her.”
"The only thing left that may have an impact is her status as a professional player in the virtual game world." Ningyu Ninglan stretched out her hand and continued to explain: "But now the old and new alliances are confronting each other, and the so-called 'professional player status' itself has become It is a matter for discussion, so this impact can now be ignored."
"The confrontation between the old and new alliances."
Duan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyebrows that had just relaxed began to wrinkle again: "How is Yu Shang's pressure now? What other disgusting moves did the other party use?"
"It's still in the stage of public opinion war, and every move of the other party is exactly what Mr. expected before." The crescent-like eyebrows of Enyu Ninglan also straightened up a little along with her eyes: "In comparison, Now, Miss Yushang and Ninglan are more worried about your safety, sir."
"...?"
"Since they can secretly send so many people to search, then they should have sent people to search for Mr. Long ago." Facing Duan Qing's confused look, there was also a hint of confusion in the voice of Ningyu Ninglan's answer. With a bit of worry: "They have been searching for so long. If they really find the whereabouts of Mr. -"
"it does not matter."
Raising his hand to stop what the other party was saying, Duan Qing answered with a hint of smile: "It doesn't matter, they can't even find Ling Bing, so how can they find me?"
"Time in reality and time in the game are not the same thing. By the time they find me, our 'breakthrough' may have been completed long ago." Looking back at the other party's still worried gaze, Duan Qing He gestured and touched his nose: "Anyway, I can't control everything in the outside world, so I can only try my best here."
"Ninglan understands." Ninglan took a step back and looked directly at Duan Qing's secret voice. Ninglan's face also became firm: "Ninglan will push forward the plan as soon as possible."
"As long as you, sir, can go faster than the other side, this problem will be solved."
