“Okay, you all can go home. Just leave it to me here.”
Of course, it was not only the job, but his situation could be described as living in the office like him.
It was so late. Xiao Bao might as well not go home. Besides, it would be a waste of time to come and go. Xiao Bao yawned, made instant noodles, and sat down in his seat. He turned on the display screen… Now, this can be considered as my private time?
Xiao Bao thought.
Being a technician in forensics, his life was too monotonous. Despite the excellent salary, he was no different from a corpse if he kept on repeating this life every day without playing games.
Xiao Bao shook his head. He remembered that he was clearing a side mission in the wild when he went out. Then, his character still remained in the wild.
Seeing that there are still a few strange missions to be completed, Xiao Bao, influenced by Lao Qin, gradually discovered his obsessive-compulsive disorder and let out a yawn. He decided to at least finish the missions before going to bed… or something. He ran towards one of the cities in the game: Zhongguan City.
So, the ‘professional’ priest named ‘Xiao Bao’ passed through the huge city gate and ran to a desolated area… But, as a priest, he did not have any attack moves. If it was not for this strange mission, Xiao Bao might fall asleep and see if he could join another team tomorrow.
“Huh, there is still someone doing the mission at this hour?”
If his memory was terrible, how could he get such a qualification that required a lot of professional knowledge?
“They are all high level. Why do they still need to kill these monsters?” Xiao Bao continued to observe this knight named Qian Xiu and found that a pair of monster corpses had collapsed beside him.
The knight was like a robot, standing alone in the cleared area. When a new monster respawned, he would attack immediately. Then, he stood on the spot dumbstruck, waiting for another monster to respawn before attacking again.
“Is it a third party plug-in?” Xiao Bao subconsciously had this idea.
In fact, there was a large bottle of wine in his hand. He would take a sip of it after a while.
“The character still has this kind of action?” Xiao Bao was taken aback. He then rolled a ball of dough and put it into his mouth, and muttered, “How bored is this guy…?”
However, when he thought about himself eating instant noodles in the office in the middle of the night while playing games simultaneously to wait for himself to get sleepy, he also thought that he was also extremely bored. Xiao Bao laughed at himself and manipulated his character to approach the great knight.
ID Xiao Bao: Hey! Brother, what are you doing outside at this hour?
…
Alcohol and blood… Because of their interaction, Qian Xiu did not have to think about too many things. To him, killing these little monsters had almost no effect other than providing him meager coins.
But, in the same way, there was no danger in killing these little monsters. — Yes, there was no danger.
The feeling of hunger eventually drove his body out of the room, but he could not earn any income if he did not work. Qian Xiu had been in a state of inaction since the last time he deleted his friends.
On the whole, he would not go out until it was late at night, and returned to the hotel before dawn, doing those simple single-player missions alone. He could not be bothered with the so-called status and rankings. Now, he had fallen out of the first echelon.
Live… a safe life.
“Hey! Brother, why so late?”
When the sound came, Qian Xiu instinctively swung his sword towards the source of the sound. – At this late hour, the guards of Zhongguan City would not go out. Not even the civilians too. So, there was only one possibility – the person was another player.
It was unknown whether he was also… Qian Xiu still did not let his guard down. Except for the NPCs in this game, Qian Xiu was always highly vigilant towards all players.
“Don’t be nervous. I bear no malicious intentions! Boss!”
Xiao Bao was taken aback. He then wiped his face and said, “Well, boss, you don’t have to be so cold? I am the Milk God [1], Xiao Bao, the priest who never cheats! Are you defeating monsters and collecting materials? I will give you a BUFF to let you improve your efficiency. And then, I have a few more kinds of these missions to do. Should we form a team? It will be a win-win situation!”
Qian Xiu looked at the priest for a long time before putting down the sword in his hand, and said calmly, “Go away, I don’t team up with someone. What’s more? I remember you. Previously during the dungeon in Novice Village, you were the one who didn’t come in.”
Xiao Bao was immediately embarrassed (chuckling in front of the computer screen), and quickly said, “Boss, I have my difficulties too. Please try to understand the difficulties of being in a slacking group!”
Qian Xiu was a little annoyed and said, “Don’t follow me. I won’t take you in. Do the mission by yourself. Don’t think about clinging on others all day.”
He had seen many bad players who came up to him through flattery… but it was undeniable that this kind of existence makes up a large group.
Clinging? This guy hasn’t graduated from eighth grade, right?
Xiao Bao was taken aback, shrugged, and said, “Boss. I am only suggesting the principle of cooperation. So, I am not clinging to you, okay? Why put more effort when you can do it with less effort? With everyone so busy at work, of course, we will need to allocate your time properly, okay?”
Qian Xiu said, “In this case, you will be wasting time by following me. Go back and do your mission.”
It seems that Xiao Bao is this kind of player.
Qian Xiu frowned…This was the type that he found challenging to deal with. Under normal circumstances, he would choose to ignore the other party. After a long time, the other party would automatically give up and choose other targets to strike up a conversation.
“By the way, boss. Where did you find this drinking action? Why didn’t I see this action in the mission action bar? Is it the effect brought by the usage of the props?”
Qian Xiu was taken aback…The players from the outside could already see this kind of action?
He could only say indifferently, “It’s a preinstalled effect.”
Xiao Bao nodded, “I knew it! But this is fun. Where did you buy this kind of wine? I’ll get some to play too!”
Qian Xiu said impatiently, “The only way to get it is to defeat the monsters. You can’t get it.”
Qian Xiu glanced at Xiao Bao and nodded silently.
Xiao Bao waved his hand at this moment and said, “Boss, don’t sleep too late. Take care of your body! Recently, several news reports said that a few people had died at home after playing computer games too enthusiastically. Their deaths were only discovered after a few days!”
Seeing Xiao Bao seemingly about to disappear, Qian Xiu suddenly said, “Wait a minute.”
“What?”
“Add me as your friend,” said Qian Xiu abruptly.
“Oh~”
Qian Xiu said again, “Will you be active at the same time tomorrow night?”
Xiao Bao said, “It’s hard to say. What’s the matter?”
Qian Xiu said calmly, “I will look for you.”
After speaking, Qian Xiu walked straight into the gate of Zhongguan City and disappeared at once.
…
This person was also a weirdo.
Xiao Bao shook his head, yawned, and turned off the game. He opened the folding bed behind him and lay down all at once… So sleepy, I don’t want to go to work tomorrow.
“Wait! There was an update of a new chapter on “My Sister is The Teacher of Little Huang Ben”! Crap! I almost forgot!!!”
So, Xiao Bao got up again, feeling that he could continue on with his activities and fight for another half an hour!
