The scene was a little strange for a moment.

Regardless of the reactions in the comments, after seeing the figure clearly, Xiao Baicai, who was in a state of confusion, suddenly lost his mind and said subconsciously, "Mermaid... No, Grandpa fish?"

“…”

"...You're the little cabbage from the transition period, right?" The old man's expression changed from surprise to speechlessness. Finally, he was the first to react and recognize the little cabbage.

"Huh? It's me...you're the player?" Xiaobaicai, whose name was not used in the game, reacted slowly.

The old man holding the fishing rod nodded slowly.

The land god standing nearby slowly explained, "Because this fishing game is a multiplayer activity, when fishing by the lake, there's a chance you'll catch fish from nearby Peach Blossom Land players who are also fishing."

[…I can’t stop laughing, damn Grandpa Fish]

【Hahahahaha】

[Although I didn’t react, Xiaobaicai’s reaction was so funny haha]

[Well, actually I can understand it.]

[Honestly, this isn't Xiaobaicai's fault, haha. After all, we've all played a lot of Shanhailu, so we've seen all sorts of creatures. There's fish with human faces, flying fish with wings, fish with nine tails, fish with two heads... If it were in Shanhailu, maybe it would really be called Grandpa Fish (big mistake)]

[This explanation is even funnier!]

"There's actually this kind of fun..." The old man sighed helplessly and asked about Xiao Baicai's land, "Is there a way to get back?"

"Of course." The land nodded.

"Hmm..." The old man thought for a moment as he looked at the lake. "If I continue fishing here, will the fish I catch count as mine or Xiao Baicai's?"

“It belongs to the player himself.”

The old man nodded to show that he understood, and then he sat down by the lake of Xiao Baicai's house, which was in a period of drought. He even took the initiative and greeted Xiao Baicai, "We can talk about other things later. Let's go fishing first. The activity time is limited."

As he said this, he swung the fishing rod, allowing the hook to sink steadily into the lake.

Xiao Baicai, who was in a period of transition, thought about it and agreed. Since time was limited, it was more important to fish first, so he sat down too.

This time he remembered to put up the bait, and after putting on the bait, he swung the fishing rod like the old man did.

Not long after putting down the fishing rod, Xiao Baicai saw the old man's fishing rod next to him sink a little. The old man skillfully picked up the fishing rod and caught a big grass carp.

And there was still no movement on his side.

The old man, who was in a period of difficulty in catching cabbage, kept his composure and continued to wait. Soon he caught the second one.

Then comes the third one.

Thanks to the increased probability during the event, after a while Xiao Baicai finally caught a small fish the size of a palm, and the harvest finally went from 0 to 1.

Although he is still at the bottom of the list, at least he sees hope.

——Speaking of the rankings, since Xiaobaicai, who was in a period of transition, often glanced at the sign for no reason, he soon discovered something.

That is, Grandpa Fish (crossed out). The frequency with which this old man catches fish seems to subtly match the number one on the list, [The Dark Knight's Soul].

Xiao Baicai couldn't help but look over again and again, wanting to say something but stopping herself, wanting to say something but still wanting to.

"What do you want to say?" The old man noticed his strange behavior and asked him.

Xiao Baicai, who was in a difficult situation, nodded and finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked.

"Grandpa, could it be that you are the [Soul of the Dark Knight]?"

Grandpa... Grandpa was tactically silent for a moment.

Although the old man didn't say anything, his behavior said it all.

[Grandpa Fish: Yes, I am.jpg]

【Grandpa Fish's Silence.jpg】

[Is the first place really the Grandpa Fish? This is so cute, haha!]

[What's wrong with you guys? Why are you all calling me Grandpa Fish? Hahahaha]

The Dark Knight's Soul

[Although it’s a middle school student, it’s very cute hahahaha]

There was a lot of laughter in the barrage, and the old man by the lake finally admitted that the "Soul of the Dark Knight" was indeed him.

At this time, the old grandfather didn't know that his granddaughter Xiaoqin had often watched the live broadcast of Xiaobaicai since she became addicted to "Shan Hai Lu".

Especially when "Taohuayuan" was in internal testing and she failed to get the internal testing account of "Taohuayuan", she has been watching live broadcasts almost continuously since the internal testing started, relying on other people's live broadcasts to satisfy her cravings.

＊

And for Xiaoqin... this day is a day that she doesn't know how to describe.

When the internal test draw was over, she asked all the people she had asked to help draw for the internal test qualification, but no one won.

Although Xiaoqin was very sad at this time, she was used to it and could accept the reality. After all, winning was a surprise, and not winning was also reasonable.

So after Xiaoqin adjusted her mood, she started looking for other people's live broadcasts to watch.

After the "Tribute" incident was clarified, Xiaoqin usually gave priority to watching Xiaobaicai's live broadcast because Xiaobaicai's live broadcast style was what Xiaoqin liked more.

The same is true today.

At the beginning, Xiaoqin was enjoying the show just like the other viewers. In addition, there were many talented viewers in the live broadcast room, and the comments they posted were also very interesting. It was double the joy to watch the live broadcast with the comments.

Even when Xiaoqin caught something and started pulling, she was still happy. She was the one who posted the comment "Finally got something? Come on, come on!"

…but.

When Xiaobaicai pulled his catch ashore and revealed his true appearance, Xiaoqin took a closer look and found that the old man who was caught had a face that was very familiar to her.

Especially when the old man started talking, that familiar voice...

"???grandfather?!!"

Xiaoqin screamed out loud on the spot.

What's going on? Why is my grandfather, who said he was asleep early, fishing in "Peach Blossom Spring" and looking so skilled?

…Is this really her grandfather?

…It should be just an old man who looks very similar to grandpa, right?

Calm down, Xiaoqin, that can't be Grandpa. It's normal for a few people in the interstellar universe to look alike. Even if their voices are similar, that's just a matter of probability... Grandpa has loved her dearly since she was a child. There's no way he would have gotten a beta test account and then kept it from her just because he wanted to play. Yeah, that's right...

Xiaoqin said this to herself over and over again in her heart, then slowly calmed down, turned on the communication function of the light computer, and sent a call request to her grandfather.

However, the call was not connected.

After a while, Grandpa's optical computer intelligent assistant replied that Grandpa had fallen asleep.

——It’s exactly the same reply as last night, not a single word changed.

It's already past noon. Judging from my grandparents' usual schedule, it's impossible that they haven't woken up yet.

At this moment, Xiaoqin was certain that the old man in the live broadcast was really the grandfather who loved her the most.

...He didn’t even change the reply on the computer, which only means that grandpa has been playing since last night until now, and has not even logged off.

Xiaoqin lives in Bengbu.

“…”

“Why…why did it become like this…?”

At this moment, everyone in the live broadcast room was laughing, only Xiaoqin was completely upset.

Adults often break down in just a moment QAQ

＊

In the game, the limited-time fishing activity ended, and Grandpa Xiaoqin, who had the ID "Soul of the Dark Knight", won the first place as expected.

"75 tokens. If you participate in it about 5 times, you should be able to redeem the village seasonal skin." Grandpa Xiaoqin was thoughtful after receiving the reward, and then turned around and began to ask about Xiaobaicai's family's land, which was in a period of transition, and how he could return to his own paradise.

"Just keep walking along the road leading to the back mountain. There is a barrier at the end. Tell the coordinates of your own Peach Blossom Spring and you can go back." said the land god.

"Huh? So, as long as you know the coordinates of other players' Peach Blossom Spring, you can go to someone else's house?" The little cabbage, who was in a difficult situation, discovered the meaning of the land's words.

"That's right." The land god nodded approvingly. "As a casual game, social interaction is an important part of the gameplay of Peach Blossom Spring. Just like when you, the village chief, build a beautiful village, wouldn't you want others to see it too? In that case, you can use this function to invite others to visit."

"So that's how it is." The little cabbage nodded, then looked at Grandpa Xiaoqin, who was very good at fishing. "Grandpa fish... no, the soul of the Dark Knight... Grandpa? How about we add each other as friends? Our paradises are next to each other, right? We can visit each other in the future!"

Xiaoqin's grandfather agreed and he and Xiaobaicai added each other as friends.

Later, curious about what the visit function looked like, Xiao Baicai followed Grandpa Xiaoqin along the path behind the mountain to find the barrier. After finding the barrier, as Grandpa Xiaoqin reported the coordinates of his Peach Blossom Spring, the transparent barrier changed, transforming into an illusory vortex gate, which reflected a blurry scene.

The little cabbage, which was in a period of transition, was a little curious about what other people's homes looked like, so it quietly peeked at the scenery on the door.

Grandpa Xiaoqin saw his eager look and laughed, saying, "Would you like to visit my paradise?"

"Is it okay?" Xiao Baicai's eyes lit up at first, but then she remembered that she was live streaming, so she asked Xiaoqin's grandfather if he minded. Otherwise, it would not be nice to just go there without saying hello and broadcast the whole situation of someone else's home live.

Xiaoqin's grandfather was a little hesitant when he heard this.

It was then that he remembered that Qinghuangbujie Xiaobaicai was a well-known anchor, and if the video was spread, it might be seen by his granddaughter Xiaoqin.

By then, he would no longer be able to hide the fact that he said he was sleeping but was actually secretly playing with the beta account.

"Forget it then..." Xiaoqin's grandfather changed the subject.

At this time, Xiaobaicai, who was in a critical period of his career, saw that someone in his live broadcast room had rewarded him with a meteorite, and he posted a message in the barrage using a particularly eye-catching special effects font.

Xiaoqin: Xiaobaicai, please tell Grandpa that I've seen everything I need to see.

[It’s too late to think about whether I’ll see you now]

——These two sentences clearly did not contain any intense symbols or words, but Xiaobaicai, who was in a period of transition, felt as if he had heard some meaning of despair in them.

He looked at the words on the barrage, then looked at the old man and read the words to him.

The old man was stunned, his eyes wandering around for a moment, and he said awkwardly, "Well, dear granddaughter, listen to my explanation..."

The author has something to say:

Xiaoqin: Happiness is yours, I have nothing [tears.jpg]
