Chapter 62 Tomorrow
No matter who you are, you all want to try out new gadgets.
No one can escape the charm of trying new things, including Lin Han.
But he felt that he could still endure it a little longer.
Come on! He just came out of the "Haunted House" dungeon. Has it been two days?
Lin Han lowered his head and slowly counted on his fingers, realizing that from the time he left the new world to the time he came back to talk to Alfred, it hadn't even been a day and a half.
Lin Han: “…”
When Lin Han finished the "Factory" copy, he had at least rested for four days in and out of the game, but now his rest was more than halved.
Without Alfred explaining anything, Lin Han already knew that the "exclusive perspective" given to him was actually to prevent him from going insane - it would be difficult for a normal person to remain rational when seeing a scene where a person was compressed.
He was still awake because Alfred covered his eyes at the critical moment, allowing him to see but not see completely. The blurry picture became clear purely through his own imagination.
They even felt that it was not safe, and urgently made a high-definition record of the evolution of cabbage to cabbage.zip for Lin Han to replace the reality he feared more.
Lin Han didn't know whether his consciousness didn't want to keep that memory and deliberately forgot it, or whether the new world really had special means to deepen his false impression. Lin Han didn't think that the two photos of cabbage reflected his real experience.
The "exclusive perspective" is the reward Lin Han gets for clearing the "Haunted House" dungeon, and the time point for clearing the dungeon is after the second last player dies.
Overly realistic scenes are not suitable for immersive holographic games, and Lin Han's performance confirms this.
The "exclusive perspective" did strengthen Lin Han's psychological quality, or in other words, it strengthened his ability to distinguish between games and reality. The cabbage had completely made Lin Han lose his fear. He was no longer timid, and just like the words that were conveyed, he let go and played.
So Lin Han didn't say anything, and Alfred didn't mention it. They tacitly maintained the surface peace, as if the mistake in the internal test of the new world did not exist.
But his mental strength has been strengthened, which doesn't mean he has forgotten everything. Apart from what happened in the last minute, his previous experiences were also very scary, okay?
A head that was about to break into eight pieces, a woman who suddenly jumped out when the cabinet was opened, washing the bloody and smelly clothes with a cold face in the dark toilet... Lin Han choked up, and couldn't understand why he put on the clothes that had not even been washed clean with an expressionless face. Wearing wet clothes in an air-conditioned room would make the cold worse. Obviously, running naked would be a better choice!
He would never do such a thing before. It must be that the psychological pressure in the dungeon was too great and made him a little abnormal.
Realizing this, Lin Han looked at Alfred with some accusation in his eyes.
"Tomorrow, the test is tomorrow." Alfred repeated his words and walked out with Lin Han.
As the night deepened, the temperature in the garden gradually dropped. It was no longer suitable for Lin Han to stay there for long. Outside were bright street lights, and he could see people passing by from afar. Under the gentle light, everything outside was just ordinary college life.
Some people greeted Alfred from afar. Lin Han saw them standing there waving, and some people nodded in greeting.
Just now, the environment was too quiet with only the sound of wind and grass leaves. Only now did the sound of people moving reach Lin Han's ears. He was walking step by step into a safe area.
At the edge of the square, Lin Han stood completely under the street light.
The light source here is very bright, but there are no mosquitoes flying around. Even the temperature is much higher than before, and the evening breeze brings warmth.
The surrounding environment, the sound of people talking, the goddess statue in the center of the square which was almost shrouded in darkness and only a blurry figure could be seen, and the two elongated shadows cast by the lights, all gave Lin Han an unprecedented sense of security.
Alfred stood in front of him, still with his back to the light, but another lamp not far away provided a new light source, illuminating his face. It was so close that Lin Han could almost see the fuzz on his face. At this moment, Alfred looked as gentle as Su Fu.
"Go and rest."
"Whenever you come back, that will be tomorrow."
Lin Han looked at him in a daze, and saw Alfred wink at him. The previous words seemed like a little joke he played on Lin Han.
Alfred asked, "Do you need me to take you back?"
Lin Han subconsciously shook his head: "No, no, I know the way."
There are too many people in the academy, and it is impossible to let time stay forever on this night before tomorrow just for Lin Han, so Alfred means to go offline.
Lin Han sighed in his heart that he really didn't even want to act anymore. He had already started to communicate with him openly about logging in and out of the game. Was it because he was an NPC played by a real person that he was so unscrupulous?
"Then I'll be leaving first. I'm really sorry to bother you today, Teacher Alfred." Lin Han waved at Alfred. Before parting, he finally remembered Alfred's identity. After saying this with a little embarrassment, he walked towards the way back to the dormitory in his memory.
Alfred: "Goodnight."
"Good night." Lin Han turned around and looked at him, then turned around and walked faster.
Because of this semi-forced interaction, Lin Han and Alfred did become closer. Although he didn't know where to see the friendship level between him and Alfred, it should be 20 at least. After all, he was the only freshman in the college this year.
After walking for a while, Lin Han quietly looked back. He didn't want to know where Alfred was going next. He was not curious about this at all. He just looked back inexplicably. People always do many inexplicable things, and looking back is one of them.
But when he turned around, he found that Alfred had not left, but was still standing there, looking at him from afar.
He caught Lin Han's gaze at once, and he smiled at her.
This time, they were so far away that Alfred's face, which was backlit, had turned into a dim black, almost a blur. Lin Han saw the changes in his expression from the blurry black block. His eyes and mouth seemed to have become three dark and red holes.
Just one glance and Lin Han's hair stood on end, goose bumps appeared on the back of his neck, and the wind almost made him shiver with cold.
He turned around and pretended he had never turned around.
If Alfred suddenly spoke to him behind his back at this moment, he swore that he would get off the line right away without hesitation for a second.
Dead leg, run!
Fortunately, Lin Han finally arrived safely at the dormitory building. He admitted that he felt relieved when he saw the lights in the lobby downstairs.
Obviously, Alfred was a teacher at the academy, and he was a student. He was already under Alfred's protection. He was even sent to communicate with Lin Han, and he had always acted quite harmless. But that glance just now still made Lin Han feel as if the sword of Damocles was floating above his head. He even forgot that the other party was a character played by a real NPC.
Lin Han: “…”
Most likely he was dazzled and was simply scaring himself.
Since Alfred said that, he certainly wouldn't force himself to enter the dungeon tomorrow. He would naturally have to adjust himself before entering.
When playing games, your own state is also very important. Lin Han will not force himself, even if he is very interested in the game itself.
He didn't go back to the dormitory simply to leave his body there. Even if he had really gone offline at that time, Alfred would have sent him back. He came to find Shen Qiuqiu.
Shen Qiuqiu was someone he was relatively familiar with in the academy. The others were all teachers in the academy, and only Shen Qiuqiu was a student like him.
Since I have to take part in the freshman admission assessment, I naturally have to borrow some experience from my predecessors. It’s not too late to log off after borrowing.
Five minutes later, Lin Han knocked on the door of Shen Qiuqiu's room. Shen Qiuqiu was surprised by Lin Han's arrival, but immediately brought Lin Han in and poured Lin Han a drink in a very servile manner.
The layout of his room is similar to Lin Han's, but it has a more lively atmosphere than Lin Han's. Simply put, things are piled everywhere. Although the sofa in the living room is not full, there is no place to sit. There are also many clothes hanging on the table and stools. It was Shen Qiuqiu who temporarily cleared a space for Lin Han so that Lin Han had a place to sit.
Shen Qiuqiu scratched her head awkwardly: "I'm cleaning up, it's a bit messy hehe."
Lin Han looked at the game console in the corner of the sofa, which was turned over but still honestly flashing colorful lights, and pretended not to see it: "I came at the wrong time. How about I come again tomorrow?"
The progress of the game is very important. Lin Han didn’t like being disturbed before, but Shen Qiuqiu didn’t mind and shook her head like a rattle.
"It's okay! I told you before, if you have any problems, just come to me, I will definitely help you." He patted his chest and leaned over to ask, "Is it about the freshman placement test?"
Lin Han was a little curious: "How do you know?"
It couldn't be that Shen Qiuqiu was really the NPC who helped him advance the plot, and it was just a coincidence that she suddenly brought a message last time.
Chen Qiuqiu winked at him cunningly: "We all know that you were successfully admitted. The teachers had a small meeting in the garden yesterday and set up a restricted area to prevent anyone from entering. Teacher Alfred also guarded you for a long time."
"You know all this?"
"What's the big deal? Mr. Alfred missed two classes in a row, and the young master took his place. We slept with him twice. You know what? He slept too much during the day and played games at night... cough cough, he couldn't even sleep at night." Shen Qiuqiu, who almost let the cat out of the bag, coughed dryly twice and found an excuse that no one would believe. "Anyway, after entering school, isn't there a baseline test? This is all you can ask me about."
Lin Han: "...Yes, I wanted to ask about the placement test. You know I'm a freshman and my skills aren't very good, so I'm quite nervous."
Shen Qiuqiu had an expression that said, "What are you pretending for? But I understand and I won't expose you." She nodded cooperatively, "Yeah, yeah, I know, I know."
Lin Han was helpless: "I didn't lie to you, I'm really weak."
He was just giving himself face by saying he was weak. He didn't know Shen Qiuqiu's strength, but it was impossible for her to be worse than him.
Shen Qiuqiu nodded again, not listening to Lin Han's words at all: "The test is actually not difficult. Just pick a random NPC script and let the teacher see your acting skills."
But his brows were furrowed tightly, as if he was recalling some unpleasant past. "But you don't know how unlucky I was that time. I actually got the role of Potions Professor. God knows I know nothing about it. I couldn't even understand the textbooks. In the end, I blew up the classroom and naturally failed."
NPC script? Roleplay?
Role-playing? Why was it different from the dungeon he knew?
Lin Han: “…”
His head hurts, as if something new is about to enter his brain.
