The war between the Federation and the Arc of Light started without warning and ended abruptly.
However, the dust had settled in one night. Later, Light Arc announced that it had reached a settlement with the Alliance and canceled the hunt for the murderer. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Light Arc had achieved its strategic purpose of attacking the Alliance. , even if Shen Xixi saves the four people involved, it is impossible for the alliance to return to its previous glory.
In this war, it is easy to see who is the loser and who is the winner.
In fact, the current alliance is only less than one-tenth of its original size, and it is mainly composed of independent player groups. Most of the large and small guilds that worked together before quit before midnight. After the incident, they were too embarrassed to be accommodating. The shame is back, and everyone has used this incident to see clearly the attitude of Guanghu. The third largest player force is not allowed to appear in the city. Naturally, no one is willing to touch this bad luck.
Zhang Heng met Shen Xixi in the cafeteria at night. She was sitting alone in the corner eating a bowl of barbecue rice. Because of the rumors on campus, no one ate with her anymore, not even the people in her dormitory. They are all consciously estranged from her, and now she seems to be carrying some kind of plague.
However, Shen Xixi didn't take it too seriously. There were too many things that she needed to worry about. She really didn't have the energy to deal with such trivial matters. She was still flipping through some books while eating.
As a result, a dinner plate was placed opposite her at this moment. Shen Xixi seemed a little surprised. She raised her head and saw that the person coming was Zhang Heng.
"Are you reading Si Xiu?" Zhang Heng pointed to the book in Shen Xixi's hand.
"Yes, I have fallen behind a lot before, so I will make up for it while I have time." Shen Xixi said, then paused and added, "This game will eventually end, and we will eventually return to normal. in life, isn’t it?”
"I hope so," Zhang Heng asked Shen Xixi with his eyes if he could sit across from him, and the latter nodded to him.
Zhang Heng sat down and asked, "If this matter comes to an end, what do you want to do after graduation?"
"me?"
Zhang Heng rarely saw a look of embarrassment on Shen Xixi's face, "I want to open a pet store. This is a dream I had when I was about ten years old, but I haven't told anyone else, not even rabbits, Li Bai and the others don’t know either, you are the first one to know, please remember to come to my store to patronize me.”
"Sure, remember to tell me when you open the business."
"What about you?" Shen Xixi took a sip of millet porridge and asked again.
"I don't know, I haven't thought about this kind of thing carefully. Before, I probably just wanted to live this life according to my own wishes... Now, nothing has actually changed. Maybe I will go on a trip first, this There are so many places in the world that we haven’t been to yet, and there are so many lives that we haven’t seen yet, and I would like to see them if possible,” said Zhang Heng.
"Then I wish you a smooth journey in advance." Shen Xixi picked up the millet porridge.
"I also wish your pet shop a prosperous business." Zhang Heng responded with a bowl of seaweed soup.
The two didn't talk too much about the game, not only because this was a public place after all, and people passed by from time to time, but also maybe because it was difficult to tell others what happened to them.
Five minutes later, Shen Xixi finished the barbecue rice in the bowl, wiped her mouth, and looked at Zhang Heng. The latter had just finished eating. I wonder if he had been with Holmes for a long time, and Zhang Heng was eating slowly now. After eating it, in the words of the former, this is the way a gentleman eats, but it is not without its benefits. Eating slowly allows the food to be chewed more fully and easier to digest. Moreover, Zhang Heng now eats with a sense of rhythm and concentration. Xixi looked at the opposite side unintentionally, but she turned out to be fascinated, hoping that he could eat longer.
Shen Xixi didn't realize it until Zhang Heng put down his chopsticks, but the question she wanted to ask before suddenly couldn't be asked.
After that, Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows at Shen Xixi, "I've finished eating. I have an elective class in the evening. I need to take a step ahead. Please take care of yourself."
"You too." Shen Xixi watched Zhang Heng stand up and walk towards the recycling window with a plate. She had indeed suspected that the mysterious sniper who caused a lot of trouble for the arc last night was Zhang Heng, because she formed Although I made a lot of friends after joining the alliance, none of them were excellent in marksmanship and melee combat, and Zhang Heng's strength has always been a mystery. Although Shen Xixi has not experienced a dungeon with Zhang Heng, the two of them wanted to They had briefly joined forces to resolve the [Death Dream] curse on Han Lu.
However, the situation that time was quite special. After entering the dream, everyone separated. Zhang Heng and Xiupunos were together. Until the end, Shen Xixi didn't know why Xiupunos gave up and left, but she must have been with Zhang Heng. Constantly related.
In other words, among so many players, only Zhang Heng has successfully solved the [Death Dream] that even the three major guilds were unable to do anything about.
However, Shen Xixi was a little shaken when they had dinner together just now. Justitia said that the mysterious sniper had unimaginable evil in him. But with the long-term contact between Shen Xixi and Zhang Heng, she was sure that maybe Zhang Heng Heng's behavior cannot be said to be absolutely righteous, but the latter does have its own set of rules for behavior, with bottom lines and principles, and it is far from evil.
Therefore, Shen Xixi did not ask any questions in the end, but just looked at Zhang Heng's leaving figure.
…………
Because there was not a long gap between the afternoon class and the evening class, Zhang Heng went directly to the classroom after eating. He did not want to tell Shen Xixi that he was the mysterious sniper last night. It's not to get the other party's gratitude. Secondly, his action last night was interrupted only halfway through. In theory, it couldn't help much, so it's okay not to mention this kind of thing.
However, after class in the evening, Zhang Heng ran to the parking lot outside the school and opened the trunk of the polo. He risked his life to help Shen Xixi and the coalition. He even resisted the arc and worked all night, but it was not There was no gain. During this period, he killed several action teams of Light Arc and collected some game props from them.
Of course, because it was in the real world, without system prompts, he could not accurately judge whether an item was 100% a prop, and the arc of light did not give him long time to clean the battlefield each time. He had to make a quick decision, as long as Items can be collected through experience.
But there is one thing that Zhang Heng is sure of, and that is a necklace he found from the man with wings on his back. The pattern on the bottom is very familiar to Zhang Heng. It is the same as the [Moment of Shadow] he first bought. It is a necklace. The image of the crow, coupled with the [Shadow Key] he acquired before, these three items obviously come from the same system, which reminded Zhang Heng of the concept of suits in the game.
I just don’t know how to combine these three things.
