Chapter 40 Unexpected Situation

With the money he just got, he went to the electronic city next door to buy headphones. After much deliberation, he finally bought an original PS5 headset, mainly because he couldn't afford a more expensive and better one with the little money he had.

By the way, I ate a rice bowl at a Sichuan restaurant, and it was after five o'clock in the afternoon when I got home.

Lying comfortably on the sofa, Zhou Ze connected to the world game, planning to buy the 2-star game first, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

感恩节折扣2星专区：《旧日支配的呼唤》50%OFF，220点功勋；《魔王初临》50%OFF，200点功勋；《灾厄之种》50%OFF，150点功勋；《天命引路人》50%OFF，100点功勋。

He has 138 merits on hand, and he can only afford the cheapest one among the four games.

Although he looked greedy for the other three games, he could only ignore them due to his lack of cash.

"The Guide of Destiny".

The name of this game is quite artistic and different from the direct theme of the first three games. There is no way to judge what the content is just from the name.

The cover of the game is also very special. It can be vaguely seen that the scene is a lush green canyon. There is a dazzling white light rising into the sky in the center, and there are many unknown creatures with hideous faces and strange shapes hidden in the shadow corners around the light...

"There are so many monsters, is it possible that this game needs to be upgraded by killing monsters?"

That's how Zhou Ze understood it in his first impression.

Use merit to buy the game.

[Thanksgiving limited game "The Guide of Destiny", Chapter 1 section 'Guide', game difficulty: 2 stars. 】

[This game is a strategy development game. The player will help a girl who accidentally fell into the secret realm of Sumeru to embark on the road of cultivation, accompany her to guide her every growth and battle, and find a hiding place in the wilderness to survive. Fighting monsters to compete for training resources, and finally escaped from the secret realm and returned to the earth with his own power...]

[This game can be rewarded with a maximum of 300 merit points for customs clearance. The exclusive rewards for customs clearance are '2-star skill · breath control' and 'Elf form permanent card'. If you pass the level with more than 2 points, you can get the achievement of 'guiding light'.There are in-app purchase options, and there may be subsequent expansion chapters. The difficulty of the game is: [-] stars. 】

[The remaining time of the game is 382 hours, 46 minutes and 19 seconds. After the time is over, the game cannot upload scores. 】

"Nearly the remaining time of four hundred hours?"

Zhou Ze was stunned.

The 2-star game is really extraordinary, he has reserved nearly [-] days of playing time, and the customs clearance process is probably not short, right?
This is the first time he encountered a game that "may have subsequent expansion chapters". The first three games are all single chapters, and they are gone after playing. However, after this game is over, it is just impossible to upload ratings. The specialness can be seen .

Exclusive rewards and achievements sound good...

The practicality of the 1-star skill Mirror Flowers and Water Moon is already very high, and it can almost be faked. Although I don’t know what the specific use of breath control is, the 2-star skill is not too bad.

And the meaning of the elf form permanent card is somewhat unclear, it sounds a bit like a fashion item in some unscrupulous online games?I don't know exactly what it is for.

"Help the girl who has lost her footsteps...cough cough, the girl who has fallen into a secret realm embarks on the road of cultivation? Are you going to play the role of a master?"

Is strategy developed?
The game mode is as simple as it gets, but Zhou Ze's confidence is a bit weak.

It has only been a few days since he has condensed his spiritual power and cyclone, and he is just a newcomer who has just started. Even the cultivation method is self-taught. How can he be a master to others with the little stock in his stomach that doesn't ring and half the bottle rattles?

Even if the game will take place in reality half a month later, he doesn't have the confidence to grow up to the point where he can instruct others to practice in such a short period of time.

Forget it, it's useless to worry... Maybe there is a solution in the game.

Zhou Ze was about to open the 2-star game "The Guide of Destiny" to find out how to play it, but the screen of his phone turned on automatically, and it was displayed on WeChat that someone had sent him a message.

Normally, he doesn't care about it.

Since he resigned, apart from some WeChat business salesmen who would take the initiative to contact him, there are only occasional cases of old classmates or colleagues borrowing money from him.

Turning a blind eye to their performance is the best response.

But this time the situation is slightly different...

The screen message only displayed four words.

These four words made his breath suddenly hitch.

'The mysterious knight? '

"!?" Zhou Ze stopped playing games and picked up his phone to check who sent him the message.

The WeChat nickname shows 'Wen Siliu'.

"Wen Silius? It's her!"

As soon as he recalled, he remembered the owner of this name.

In the past half month, apart from playing games, he hasn't actively met many people in reality. He has only added two girls to WeChat, and one of them is a round-faced girl who sells cards at the gym.

The two of them haven't communicated much since adding WeChat. Apart from meeting each other by chance at the gym, they haven't even exchanged a few words... Why did the other party suddenly think of testing him?

Calm down, calm down, maybe they are just casting a wide net to catch fish?
He typed back: 'I watched that video, the mysterious knight is handsome, are you his fan? '

There is not a single word to express negative, but there are a lot of words between the lines, turning the rhetorical question into a 'misunderstanding' that the other party just wants to discuss the topic of the mysterious knight.

When it comes to pretending to be confused, he is a master!
Whether it was during work or school, he avoided many unnecessary trifles of borrowing money and useless social interactions by pretending to be confused, leaving a lot of time and money to play games for entertainment.

Soon the phone ding-dong sent a new message.

Wen Siliu: "Yeah, I'm a die-hard fan of the mysterious knight, and I really like him...so can I treat you to a meal?" (Attach a picture of the shy expression of the little panda)'

Zhou Ze's smile froze.

How could this girl learn Tai Chi from him?

He neither denied nor confirmed, and didn't even ask whether he was a mysterious knight. Instead, he asked him out for dinner unexpectedly, subtexting that he was still a mysterious knight.

But he couldn't deny it, so he could only be led by the nose. If he took the initiative to go back to the topic of the mysterious knight at this time, it would be tantamount to losing his initiative.

'OK. Zhou Ze typed quickly again: "But I don't have time these few days. I'm on a business trip, so I'm afraid I won't be back until a month later." '

Topic Terminator's 'I'm not free'!
A lie that declines is not a lie, it is called saving face for the other party.

There is no need to refuse directly, as long as any invitation is delayed long enough, it is tantamount to declining.

Wen Siliu: 'Business trip?Are you unemployed? '

Strange, have I told her about my professional status?Oh, I seem to have mentioned a vagrant.

Zhou Ze frowned slightly and took the risk to end the topic: "There is something else, let's talk about it next time." '
