“Mom made dumplings, Xiao Bao!”
Xiao Bao’s mother said, “Look at you, my dear. You haven’t been home from working overtime for several days. You have been eating food from the police station. How can those foods be nutritious? Eat some! Look at you. You are skinny like a monkey!”
“Alright, alright, I will eat.” Xiao Bao agreed with resignation. He squeezed his mother’s shoulders with both hands and coaxed her, “There is no one in the world who can make dumplings as excellent as my mother’s homemade dumplings!”
“Haizz!” Xiao Bao’s mother smiled and scolded him. “Your sweet talk. As your mother, I will be at peace when you use it to deal with girls!”
“Ha, ha, ha, ha! Is there such a thing? Oh! Okay, I remember it, there is this thing…” Xiao Bao laughed as he dealt with this headache all the way.
It was not until ten o’clock that Xiao Bao fled back to his room. He let out a sigh of relief and laid down on the bed.
Am I a little too quiet in the games lately?
Xiao Bao suddenly had an idea. Before that, Xiao Bao was reviewing posts in a comprehensive forum frequently visited by gamers.
Search: Blue Sky.
He first appeared in a game four years ago. He was one of the five tyrants [2] of the whole server. Not only was he the supreme boss who made purchases in the game, but he also belonged to the skillful group. He had defeated a group of lackeys who were continuously playing the game with the same equipment. As for Thousand Delicate Feathers, she was the Blue Sky’s marriage partner in this game – one of the other five tyrant.
For more than two years, this “Blue Sky” played different versions of the game using the same name. He always came up on top of the hierarchy, and his marriage partner had always been Thousand Delicate Feathers.
Later on, it was unknown as to what happened. In the last game, Blue Sky suddenly broke off his engagement with Thousand Delicate Feathers. He then deleted the character files and disappeared.
This situation led to meddlesome and boring gossip parties to start to discuss the two legendary characters in the game industry, Thousand Delicate Feathers and Blue Sky.
Some said that these two persons were husband and wife in real life, and they divorced later.
Others said that Blue Sky was a nouveau riche and had abandoned Thousand Delicate Feathers.
It was also said that Thousand Delicate Feathers was an empty and lonely woman in her boudoir and the blue sky was just a gigolo. The woman had cheated on her husband with the gigolo, and the husband had exacted his revenge on the gigolo.
Some people say that “Blue Sky” was out of the game world, while Thousand Delicate Feathers was still immersed in the virtual world. She was not able to accept the departure of “Blue Sky.” So, she was always moving through various games, looking for the Blue Sky in her heart and unable to pull away.
Xiao Bao watched them curiously. He found that this “Blue Sky” was a nightmare for the party of gamers who never made any in-app purchase… Blue Sky’s skill was really out of the world. In those games with the combo features, he especially liked to unleash attacks with high combos.
Seeing Blue Sky frantically unleashing combos which broke the record in one of the games, Xiao Bao could not help but remember the scene where Qian Xiu, who was at the ice valley entrance in Jade Fantasy, unleashing almost four thousand combo attacks, a move that was impossible for humans to do so.
It always felt like these two figures were gradually overlapping on each other in front of him.
Xiao Bao frowned, logged into Jade Fantasy subconsciously, opened the friend list, and found that Qian Xiu’s avatar was still lit, and sent a hello emoticon.
Xiao Bao suddenly felt that the game seemed to be deserted. When he looked at Zhongguan City, which was initially less crowded because it was night, he suddenly felt lost, not knowing what to do.
“Ok…”
Xiao Bao sat in front of the computer, blankly for half an hour. He then sent an email to Qian Xiu and then went offline. He climbed onto the bed and fell asleep.
…
A hint of coolness caused Qian Xiu to shiver. When he opened his eyes, he even found that his eyelashes were a little moist, and the vast expanse of whiteness around him covered all his vision.
How much did he drink?
Anyway, the wine amongst his materials and items in his backpack had been drastically reduced to less than half.
“When did it finish?”
Qian Xiu looked around. His head is too heavy. He only just remembered that he ran into someone who was fishing here yesterday. It seemed that after talking to him about some boring and strange topics, he fell asleep.
[2] Tyrant (壕 ) is a Chinese internet slang. The meaning is the same as the rich. Also refers to the non-brainers spending on internet games.
