Chapter 145 Preparation for the Preliminary Competition

On March 2021, 3, in some places, this festival called White Valentine's Day can be regarded as a well-known public festival. Although the origin of this stuff is unknown and there is no story, in terms of customs, different places still have There are big differences, but this does not prevent its popularity.

If you want to say why, it is probably because the instinct of human reproduction makes human beings feel that the more things like Valentine's Day, the better.Think about it, Valentine's Day, White Day, Tanabata, the anniversary of the first meeting, the anniversary of the first confession, the anniversary of the first XX... In short, as long as it is for reproduction, no matter what day, human beings can find an appropriate excuse.

However, that's not the point.

In general, White Day is a response to Valentine's Day, no matter where it is.This year, of course, is no exception-this is not a coincidence, but, Mr. GM just likes this kind of dispensable little fancy.

"Hey! Ladies and gentlemen, Happy White Day!"

"Three hours later, the preliminaries of the World's No. [-] Martial Arts Association will begin soon. Similar to the preliminaries, the preliminaries will adopt a melee and single-elimination competition system. This time, the location will not be transferred. In order to facilitate the communication and contact of the contestants, speed up the progress of the competition , after the game starts, each player will be provided with three global positioning transmission opportunities, please get ready."

"Well, everyone who can hear this news is the one who has successfully advanced to the preliminary round. Because the total number is thousands of people, it is very troublesome to read the list. Anyway, you just know it yourself. Start preparing now, three hours After that, the game will start, huh? Well, do I need to emphasize? If the NPC teammate dies, the player will be immediately disqualified, and this will not change."

"Okay, without further ado - um, no, did you say something about grades before? Some people will be disappointed if I forget that. Um - wait a minute - ok, Now everyone can check their scores in their hearts, and the mall system will be opened in an hour, so please look forward to it, everyone."

In the darkness of nothingness, Lin Qing's figure is a bit thin - of course, no one can see it in the darkness, but even just listening to his mumbling voice can make people feel his will Quite dejected: "Hey——is it worthy of being a demon? Even here... It seems that if you say you are a high-ranking creature that day, it is not just bragging..."

"Hey—may I ask, what are you talking about?" Lin Qing's cellmate was pretty much the same as before.

"Uh—it's nothing. Let's continue discussing the topic just now." Lin Qing responded half-deadly, "You said that you finally became the master of the Thief Sect by chance, right? Well, then, your original That hot senior sister also became your apprentice, right? Then did you two--wait a minute!"

"Of course—what?" The fellow inmate was complacently preparing to talk about his long-planned love affair, but was startled by Lin Qing's sudden yell, and was stunned for a while, "What's wrong? You finally went crazy gone?"

Lin Qing didn't pay any attention to her cellmate, but muttered in a low voice: "That guy, did you just say--White Valentine's Day--?! It's already been a month! Damn it! Damn it! Groove! Damn it!"

"To be precise, it has been 29 days, eight hours and 32 minutes since you came in." Although Lin Qing ignored him, the inmate kindly helped Lin Qing correct the ambiguities in his words, "Counting the heartbeat, you Didn't you do that?"

"I don't have that habit, and I think Little Gold will come to see me in a few days..." Lin Qing bit her lower lip, and then smacked her lips, "And after losing my physical needs, my body feels time Totally messed up...tsk."

"Have you encountered an unplanned situation? Little liar?" The inmate sounded very happy.

Let me explain here, after learning that the other party is a heinous criminal, and later knowing that this guy is a robber—that is, a thief, Lin Qing set himself up as a liar full of lies—— Although he was more or less that kind of person.It feels like scumbags who are at the same level are always more likely to have a sense of intimacy than between scumbags and good people.

Then, the two of them started talking nonsense, complacently telling about their past crimes.

All in all, after talking about my ups and downs traveling to the magic world, with my extraordinary mind and sweet words, as a commoner, I was favored by the eldest lady of the Eisen family, and I was only one step away from marrying Bai Fumei to reach the pinnacle of life After Yao's legendary story, at least on the surface, the relationship between the inmate and Lin Qing became very close.

"From the moment I entered here, my plan basically collapsed. In fact, I also understand." Lin Qing sighed, and finally asked a question he had always wanted to ask, "There are only two of us here. In other words, the punishment of life imprisonment seems to be rarely used, and it is very serious... Are there really only two of us here?"

"No, a lot." The inmate answered Lin Qing's words, "When I came in, there were at least two other people, and then one after another, there were at least fourteen people who made noises after coming in, including you. Five. The reason it was only the two of us talking all the time was because many of them had a nervous breakdown, shouting with damaged vocal organs, and couldn't speak—well, some of them were probably dead. Like you for a month Those who are still sober are really a minority.”

"Very good - I can rest assured. This - a cell? It's not just a prisoner who was arrested in our world." Lin Qing showed a satisfied smile, "The next thing to consider is the way to leave here .”

"There are so many people—by the way, didn't you say that the frequency of 'life imprisonment' is very low?" Lin Qing pretended to be casual and said, "What? You have seen fourteen or five people since you came in— At least, this is still called very low?"

"Hey hey hey..." The inmate let out a sneer that didn't match his rough voice, "Little liar, you don't need to use such a low-level way to trick me. We will live here forever, together— — for a long time. I have nothing to hide from you, just ask and I will tell you everything."

"Of course, as you guessed, I've been here - well, I don't really know, I mean, when I first came in, I couldn't keep time exactly, and I wasn't in the mood for it. In short, at least, it has been hundreds of years."

"Hey..." Lin Qing made a long, weird sound, "Before I ask why you can live for so long, can I ask why you are so proficient?"

"...Sorry, what?" The prisoner thief was stunned for a moment.

"I mean, I did it first, obviously it was me first—no, it was just a joke." Lin Qing seemed to be ignorant when he played with stalks that others could not understand, and looked at the bewildered faces of others. A very strong sense of pleasure arises, "I hope you will say something in the book that you saw a white scholar directly beaten to death. In short, I mean, why do you speak Mandarin?"

"Mandarin—is that the language you use? Just listen to the name—has the language of that world been unified? When I went there, it was just someone trying to unify the language." The inmate sighed, "How did you say it? It's been a long time, right? Anyway, I've studied your language, and it's slightly different from the one you use, but I've listened to your—how did you say it? It's a chapter long After my monologue, I basically understood the difference."

"The book is the same as the text - great." Lin Qing muttered, smacking his lips, "The language at that time was not as simple as 'slight difference' from now, you old pervert."

"No, apart from the addition of a few words of unknown origin, the biggest difference is that the discourse has become lengthy and complicated, and the vocabulary—right? The vocabulary has become more, and the pointing is more specific. Besides, it is There are a lot more words with two syllables." The inmate laughed cheerfully, "It's not difficult, trust me."

"Very good, very good..." Lin Qing read a few words and pressed her temples, "Well, Uncle Thief, I know we don't have any physical needs anymore, but knowing that I haven't slept for a month After sleeping, I feel very sleepy now. I understand that this is just a psychological effect, but can you leave me alone? I hope to try to see if I can fall asleep. "

"Of course, although I have never succeeded." The inmate laughed a few times, "I hope that when you 'wake up', I can still have a pleasant conversation with you who are so awake. You know, I haven't done this for a long time. pass."

"Ah... I will try my best..."

…………

"Calm down, calm down, okay? Xiao Huang—cough cough, I mean, the golden scale." Xiao Cang pressed his temple, showing a painful look, "Let's repeat, you, put Lin Qing , sentenced to 'life imprisonment'. Then, now, no matter where, you can't find him?"

Golden Libra nodded silently, her eyes were a little red.

"Ah... I said I couldn't get in touch." Xiao Cang held his head in his hands, looking very headache, "In short, that is to say, the preliminary competition is about to start now, and Lin Qing, who is your collaborator, has lost contact. You are very sorry. In a hurry, right?"

"No!" Golden Libra slammed the table, stood up, and shouted excitedly. Xiao Cang, who had never seen her like this before, was so startled that he almost fell to the ground. Golden Libra stared blankly for a moment. Yes, he turned his head aside, lowered his head and sat back silently, "I, have been, not online. Until now..."

"Uh——" Xiao Cang didn't understand what the golden scale wanted to say, but he obviously felt that the state of the golden scale was not right. In order not to over-stimulate her, Xiao Cang pretended to understand something, and muttered.

"Hello, number two." A golden eye opened behind Xiao Cang's ear, and Shuangseqiu's voice rang softly in Xiao Cang's ear, "You haven't contacted me for a long time, have you?"

"Hey - shouldn't you be looking for clues about Lin Qing?" Xiao Cang covered his mouth and said in a low voice.

"Hmm~ This way, it seems familiar. Should I say that we are brothers and sisters? Hehe. The second in command, you are really relieved of me. The younger sister who doesn't even want to let the Dark Forest see you, just leave me with such peace of mind. Don’t listen or ask.” Shuangseqiu’s voice seemed to be complaining, “Of course, of course I’m looking for clues to the pioneer, haven’t I found it now?”

"..." Xiao Cang frowned slightly.

"No, it's not that I want to spy on you, respected second-in-command." Shuangqiu laughed a few times, "You, like many people, have been placed in a special position by me - just like special attention in chat software Like, that's how it should be, isn't it? Otherwise I'd probably be offline when you're looking for me. But ah, but, you can't stop thinking 'I'm an intruder' funny, I mean, you Like the bastard who keeps sending me window vibrations, I can't help but pay attention to you."

"Of course, now is not the time to talk about this. Your sister, um, although I don't know why you are dissatisfied, but I still want to send her back and form a team with Lei Huo to participate in this competition together." It seems to be more talkative than before, "As for the issue of the forerunners - now it seems that we can't help much, can't we?"

"Golden Libra, do you—do you have any clues? Can Lin Qing release it?" Xiao Cang threw the two-color ball aside, trying to fight for Lin Qing, "It's like——you didn't release me at that time ?"

Golden Libra shook his head violently, then raised his hand in a little panic, and wiped it on his face: "Life imprisonment, it's not the same."

"Oh oh oh, I'm crying~" Shuangseqiu yelled a few times, "I really like the appearance of the forerunner. What an unfortunate guy."

"Shut up!" Xiao Cang yelled in a low voice, and then coughed twice, "Uh, Golden Libra, I don't think you need to be so excited. Um——I mean———"

Halfway through Xiao Cang's speech, he got stuck in his lines, and the Golden Libra lowered his head even lower.

Shuang Seqiu gloated a bit: "Hey—did you mess it up? Second in command? Comforting someone is a very difficult thing. First, you have to let the other person know that you are comforting her. Second, you have to use your— —caring, kindness, or love? To oppress her and make her pretend to be redeemed. It's too difficult for you."

"Let's not mention whether you are looking down on me, can you call it comfort?" Xiao Cang covered his mouth again.

"Ha!" Shuang Seqiu laughed happily, "The so-called comfort is just a passerby who has nothing to do with it, forcing the person concerned not to show unlucky behavior that spoils his mood. Otherwise? Let the other party forget all the sad things Or make the other person stop feeling sad about it? That's not consolation, that's called brainwashing? Don't be kidding second in command, let people feel joy from the bottom of their hearts when they lose someone they love? Haha, you really think that If so, that would be—very interesting."

"Gu——" Xiao Cang felt that Shuangseqiu's words were very wrong, but he couldn't find anything to refute.

"Hey, I get it, I get it, you're still unconvinced, number two. You just want to make them feel better, right? Even if it's just to make yourself comfortable, it's obviously something that everyone is happy-oh, so to speak Seems a bit disharmonious?" Shuang Seqiu seemed to be very interested and said very enthusiastically, "Anyway, I'll help you."

"This kind of lip service, whether it's me or the pioneer, is much more professional than the second in command, right?"

"Okay, what I mean is," Xiao Cang said in a low voice according to Shuangseqiu's request, and pressed the shoulder of Golden Libra, "Listen, Golden Libra, this matter is not as serious as you think, Believe me."

Golden Libra raised his head, and looked at Xiao Cang with eyes that he didn't know whether it was hope or despair.

"Hmm." Xiao Cang coughed, "Think about it, Lin Qing—"

"After all, it's just an NPC, you don't have to take it so seriously, do you?"

Golden Libra's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at the bewildered Xiao Cang for a few seconds, then shook his head with a strange expression, and disappeared on the spot.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! What the hell is this line!" Xiao Cang exclaimed.

"Oh, take it easy, second in command, you've done a good job." The golden eyes opened in front of Xiao Cang, seeming to be a bit playful, "I've said it all, haven't I? Consolation is meaningless, if If you don’t just want to make yourself comfortable, you have to provide practical help. Now your part has been completed, and the rest is left to me, you go to prepare for the preliminary round.”

…………

In the dark room with the thick curtains drawn, a golden eye shone brightly.

"Hey, Dead House No. 1—you want me to call you that? What do you think?"

"What did you say? The incident where Brother Lu was arrested?" Dead House No. 1 rested his hands on his pillow, crossed his legs, and whistled, "Hey, are you serious? Who is that guy? He's the protagonist Ah. Before he fights against the villain me, there is no problem that can really stump him. Hmm——Do you think it is very exciting to appear suddenly to save the world when that loli is in danger? The wind is very cool and looks like a protagonist?"
