Chapter 73: Ring of Time and Space
In the game of Huaning TV Station, he had verified it from Zhong Zicang. No matter whether it was a corpse that had already signed a contract or a corpse that was waiting to be signed, there was a green light under the character picture, proving that this person had skills.
As long as you have one of the item skills, body skills, and soul skills, you will have this green light. In the skill book, corpses with skills and corpses without skills have different skill level upgrades, and the green light is used as a reminder.
In the past week, Xia Bai had not looked at the corpse book carefully, and he was not sure when You Yue acquired the skills.
Are these skills he acquired in other games that he doesn't know about, or are they skills transferred to him by others, or are they skills he obtained in the Wugu Village map?
Just talking about his performance in the Wugu Village game, You Yue was not at the level of receiving game rewards. He did find the key method to break the curse, but most of the time he did not participate in the search for the cause.
As we all know, the players who can get game rewards are the best players who complete the game alive, otherwise there will be no fighting between players in the game.
Of course, soul skills require a bit of fate, and the player's experience and soul characteristics must be in line with the game and skills.
Xia Bai stared at You Yue's portrait for several seconds, exited the game app, and searched for "Xue Ligu", but only found a few pieces of information. It seemed that she had nothing to do with the Xue Ligu in the Wugu Village game.
Xia Bai returned to the game and stared at You Yue's character image for a while.
He returned to the group Jing Yanjian had just joined and asked: [Did you get the game rewards from Wugu Village?]
Lin Xiang: [? What do you mean, didn’t you get the reward? Don’t you mean the points reward?]
Jing Yan: [No, I thought it was you or Captain Ling? It’s not you? It’s Captain Ling?]
Xia Bai: [It's not me, I'm just curious.]
Lin Xiang: [That’s Captain Ling.]
It was already past one o'clock, and Xia Bai temporarily suppressed his curiosity and doubts and did not ask Ling Changye.
He continued to look at the skill book, and he signed another corpse in the Wugu Village map, Qi Yan.
I didn't expect Qi Yan to have a skill, a physical skill, sprinting. However, he was cursed before he could use the skill.
Of course, it would be useless even if he used his skills.
Xia Bai really likes Qi Yan's speed skill. He is very good at escaping.
The three bodies he had signed and still had with him were all bad guys, two elders of the Holy Tour Guild, Gu Quankun and Liu Qiang, and Qi Yan, who had killed someone in school violence.
Xia Bai sighed and glanced at Erwa who was lying beside him and watching him. Xia Bai put down his phone and pinched his soft little face, "Erwa, you did a great job today. If you keep going like this, you will be able to protect me and sister Xuemu soon."
Erwa’s little flower grows from his ears to his rosy cheeks.
Xia Bai: "Can small leaves still grow now?"
Two green leaves grew next to the small white flower.
Xia Bai picked up the leaf and put it in his hand. "It's not like that. These are leaves that can grow branches."
Erwa crawled out and stretched out his little hands. Under Xia Bai's gaze, two small leaves grew out of it, and a branch grew out from the middle of the leaves.
Xia Bai continued to encourage him and brought Xue Mu out with him, "Can it grow long enough to tie Xue Mu's hair?"
As soon as I heard that I was going to tie Sister Xue Mu’s hair, the small branch that had just grown out immediately bloomed with small white flowers.
“…”
Okay.
Xia Bai: "Sister Xue Mu's hair is a little thick and a little long."
The branches immediately grew a little longer. Xia Bai only cut off a small soft branch with flowers and looked at his sister Xue Mu. "Sister, you should know that the body needs to be made up before it is buried. As a mortician who is loved by ghosts in a talent show, my makeup skills are trustworthy."
Sister Xue Mu looked at him expressionlessly for a few seconds, then turned her back silently.
Give him a long head of hair.
Xia Bai immediately took action and braided a long flowery braid for Sister Xue Mu.
Ever since Erwa knew that sister Xuemu lived on love and blood, he often gave sister Xuemu a drop of his own blood. He didn't know if it was affected by the natural force in his body, but sister Xuemu's face and body were no longer covered with a thin layer of mucous membrane, but had the skin of a normal newborn baby, and even her hair was shiny.
She braided her long, thick hair with small white flower branches and put it in front of her body. The long braid was twice as long as her body. The little girl looked like an exquisite doll against the backdrop of small white flowers.
When Erwa saw this, he was so excited that the branch suddenly grew a long length.
Xia Bai: “…”
The people in the Game Management Bureau believe that Erwa's terrifying skills may be able to save their shattered world projected by the game at a critical moment. They stimulate Erwa in danger again and again, telling him his responsibilities so that he can use his skills.
It's useless.
But when I saw that Sister Xuemu became so cute and a little happy by braiding her hair with her own branches, the branches that could burrow into the ground and cause mountains and earth to collapse immediately grew out.
He's a bit of a loser. If someone told him that he could use his skills to save the world, he might not be interested and even resist. But if he knew that his skills could make his family better and happier, he would immediately blossom.
He has no intention of saving the world and only wants to live his own life well, which is somewhat similar to the guy next door.
Of course, the second child is even less promising. At least he won't use his skills randomly just to please others.
As he thought of this, a pink earthworm grew out of Xia Bai's hand and rubbed against Erwa's small branch.
Erwa lowered his head shyly, but couldn't help looking up.
Ning Su demonstrated how to grow the branch to him. The earthworm grew longer little by little under his gaze. His original intention was to let Erwa follow him to grow the branch together, but he didn't expect that Erwa's branch would wrap around his earthworm's arm little by little, preventing it from moving away.
Well, it grew longer in the end anyway.
Xia Bai: "Erwa, let's work together in the future. We will be unstoppable underground and we can dig up more corpses."
Erwa nodded vigorously, and the branches grew longer.
Sister Xue Mu: “…”
I visited the player communication center, chatted, read the skill books, and guided Erwa’s skills. Now it’s time to go to bed.
For some reason, Xia Bai still didn't want to sleep. As soon as he woke up, he would be ready to leave.
At two o'clock, Xia Bai finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
He didn't wake up until 9:30 in the morning, had some brunch, and prepared to go to the airport.
When he was packing his simple luggage, Ling Changye came to his room and asked Erwa, "Are you going with Xia Bai?"
Erwa nodded immediately.
Ling Changye looked at Xia Bai and said, "If you don't want to take him, just leave him here. You weren't supposed to take him this week anyway."
Erwa stared at Xia Bai nervously.
Xia Bai said: "It's okay, I can take him with me. With the space pocket, he won't affect my schooling."
"Okay." Ling Changye looked at his schoolbag and asked, "Is everything packed?"
Xia Bai nodded, "I'm done packing, Captain, are you going to take me to the airport?"
Ling Changye: "...Aren't you with Lin Xiang?"
Xia Bai said as a matter of course: "Lin Xiang is Lin Xiang, you are you, and Lin Xiang is not you."
Ling Changye lowered his eyes and looked at him. Just as he was about to speak, Xia Bai said first, "I won't let you give it away for free."
Ling Changye suddenly became interested, leaned back on the sofa, and asked with a smile: "What are the benefits?"
"It's a great benefit." Xia Bai took out the [Ring of Time and Space] from his skill book and asked before handing it over, "You've never thought about partnering with someone other than me, have you?"
"We can't be partners now either." Ling Changye said politely, "It's against the rules."
Xia Bai asked: "Do you want to bind the Ring of Time and Space with me? When you need me, I can come to you immediately, and when I need you, you can come to me immediately."
Ling Changye: “…”
Xia Bai: "No matter the space, no matter life or death."
Ling Changye: “…”
Xia Bai blinked and looked at him: "Captain, what do you think?"
Ling Changye: "It's been almost a year since I was first drawn into the game, and it's been more than half a year since I joined the Game Management Bureau. I've never seen anything as good as this."
Xia Bai raised his chin.
Ling Changye looked at him and laughed.
Lin Xiang was very flattered that Ling Changye wanted to send them to the airport, "Captain Ling, you are actually going to send us to the airport."
"If I hide from work and stay here, they may assign me another job." Ling Changye said.
This was a little different from what he had imagined Captain Ling to be, but Lin Xiang felt that what he said made a lot of sense and gave him a thumbs up.
Xia Bai also gave a thumbs up with a blank face.
After hearing this, Jing Yan quickly packed his set of clothes and shouted that he wanted to go to the airport with them.
Lin Xiang: "Don't you have a flight at 6pm? Isn't it a bit early to leave now?"
Jing Yan: "Isn't it a good opportunity to get a ride? We can still chat on the way, right? We are about to separate, don't you want to chat with me again?"
Lin Xiang: "Think about it. I miss you so much. Let's go."
These two people who started chatting in the group as soon as it was created really had endless things to talk about. They chatted all the way and were still chatting in the airport waiting lounge.
Lin Xiang: "Brother, if you accept another bounty mission, you can call me to join you. You will have a buddy in the future."
Jing Yan: "Brother, I also think you are very reliable. I will definitely call you when I accept game tasks."
Seeing that they were chatting so enthusiastically, Xia Bai also said to Ling Changye: "Captain, when you need me, you can use the [Ring of Time and Space] to summon me at any time, even during the game. Anyway, the game time is very short in the real world."
"What if you're in class?"
"I can skip class and come out."
Xia Bai said to Ling Changye, "Captain, I just thought of another good thing about me. I used to think I was pretty dumb until I took my first school exam. Then, I thought I was just a little smart until I took a few classes with my classmates at Peace Medical College."
Ling Changye asked: "So your advantage is that you are good at studying? Skipping classes doesn't affect your studies?"
Xia Bai nodded blankly, and then he asked casually: "Captain, which university did you graduate from?"
Ling Changye: "Qilu University."
Qilu University, one of the top 2 comprehensive universities in China.
Xia Bai: "...We are almost the same."
Ling Chang smiled and said "hmm".
Xia Bai looked even more stunned. "I think we can board the plane now. I'll leave first."
Ling Changye stood up from the sofa and said, "Go ahead, have a safe trip."
When they reached the boarding gate, Xia Bai looked back again. Ling Changye had his hands casually in his pockets, looking at him, his eyes reflecting the light of the blue jade buttons on the collar of his black shirt, very blue, like the deep sea.
Xia Bai stopped and waved to him.
Seeing this, Lin Xiang hurriedly waved to the captain of the assault team who sent them to the airport, but the other party seemed not to see it.
They returned to Jiangqi City that afternoon. Lin Xiang wanted to go home to have dinner with his parents, and Xia Bai also wanted to go back to see his grandfather.
Xia Bai asked Lin Xiang: "You haven't told your parents about the game yet, right?"
"I didn't say anything. Didn't the Tourism Administration forbid me to say anything?" Lin Xiang said, "I followed their instructions. I just told them I was traveling and posted it on my Moments."
Xia Bai nodded, "You don't have to play the game so often. Your skills can also be valuable outside of the game."
Lin Xiang is the only son in the family. His parents are young and strong and worth a lot of money. He doesn't know that Jing Yan might join the assault team. Xia Bai thinks that if he knew, he might also want to join, but he still has a heavy family burden on his shoulders.
"Xia Bai, I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, I won't do it that often, but I don't want to keep hiding either. I feel like I'm getting better and better in these three games. Now I'm not afraid of corpses anymore. I want to enter the game a few more times and become stronger. This way, even if our family is involved in the game in the future, I will be able to protect my family." Lin Xiang said.
Xia Bai nodded, "Okay."
After returning to his own yard, Xia Bai immediately released Erwa and sister Xuemu, as well as the three corpses.
Song Lu helped him shield the yard, so it was okay to let them all out.
Erwa and his sister Xuemu both knew about it, so they were not afraid at all. As soon as Erwa was born, he grew branches to loosen the soil in Xia Bai's yard and look for the body. Just as he said last night, he can be said to be very sensible.
After the three bodies were released, a fight broke out immediately.
“…”
Xia Bai skillfully pulled out three coffins and put them inside, and only let them out after they calmed down.
They stayed in the yard that night and started their campus life the next day.
Ling Changye stayed in Datai City this week because Datai City was very unstable. After the brawl between the Half Moon Group and the Shengyou Guild that night, several similar fights between players occurred in Datai City. There were also reports that another group of people from the Shengyou Guild went to Datai City. This time there were so many players that Datai City was about to become the second Quanguang City where players gathered.
While going to school, Xia Bai also followed the news in the Player Communication Center and the internal group of the Game Management Bureau.
On Wednesday afternoon, Ling Changye said that he was going to persuade the members of the Shengyou Guild to withdraw, as it was obvious that they were here for revenge.
At night, Xia Bai asked him: [Did you persuade him to quit?]
Ling Changye: [No, they didn’t listen.]
Xia Bai: [How did you persuade him?]
Ling Changye: [I told them politely that they could not defeat the Half Moon Group and would probably suffer heavy casualties.]
Xia Bai: [……]
Xia Bai: [That’s right.]
Xia Bai also didn't understand why they went to provoke the Half Moon Group and even ran to their base camp, where there was obviously a mysterious and terrifying big player.
Not very smart.
Thinking of the mysterious player, Xia Bai inexplicably thought of the green light under You Yue's character image.
Before seeing the green light, Xia Bai had never connected the burning of Wugu Village and the massacre of the Shengyou Guild in the bar with him, because he always thought that You Yue had no skills and there was no way she could have killed so many high-level players of the Shengyou Guild.
But You Yue has skills.
When leaving, Xia Bai forgot to ask. At this time, he was chatting with Ling Changye, so Xia Bai asked directly: [Wugu Village Map, did you get the game reward?]
Ling Changye simply replied "No" and didn't ask any other questions.
Sure enough, he didn't get it either.
Sure enough, You Yue got the game reward for the Wugu Village map.
In the main task of finding the cause of the disease, You Yue was not the best performer. If he could get a game reward, it must be the soul skill of fate.
Before the two gangs in the bar started fighting, You Yue said he wanted to go find his parents.
His parents are the president and his wife of the Half Moon Group.
Since the vice president of the Holy Tour Guild has shown up at the bar, the president and his wife of the Half Moon Group should be there too.
The person who entered the bar midway was most likely You Yue.
Soul skills related to Wugu Village.
The villagers in Wugu Village who were on fire shouted "They all deserve to die".
The true feelings of the Holy Tour Guild player who died in the bar [I deserve to die].
Judgment and damnation.
Xia Bai was silent for a long time. You Yue was the first person who agreed to give him the body. Before that, he had just acquired this skill and was excited, but suffered setbacks one after another. You Yue gave him the body without hesitation, and he was far from being as calm as his face showed.
He thought at that time that he would never facilitate his death after making the corpse contract as Guo Yang had said before. On the contrary, he would help him as much as he could within his ability.
Xia Bai tapped on his old cell phone and finally decided to ask You Yue directly.
Xia Bai: [You Yue, did you burn down Wugu Village?]
You Yue replied immediately: [No.]
Xia Bai asked again: [Did you kill those players from the Holy Tour Guild in the bar?]
You Yue: [Yes, we were acting in self-defense. If I didn’t kill them, they would have killed us.]
Xia Bai didn't ask any more questions.
You Yue: [Xia Bai, did I do something wrong?]
Xia Bai: [I only know that it is self-defense, and I don’t know anything else.]
You Yue: [Well, I will only defend myself, don’t worry.]
The chat was about to end here, but You Yue suddenly sent a message, [Xia Bai, I am Xue Ligu's son, born to her by the villagers, am I dirty from the beginning to the end?]
Xia Bai was stunned for a moment. He knew that some game background stories were adapted from real people and events in the real world, but he never expected that Xue Ligu would be You Yue's biological mother.
No wonder You Yue received the game reward and obtained such soul skills.
He quickly replied: [No.]
You Yue: [Yeah.]
That was the end of the matter. Xia Bai did not ask any more questions, nor did he mention it to anyone else. This was not only an absolute privacy for the players, but also an even heavier privacy for You Yue.
Xia Bai didn’t want the players of the Holy Tour Guild to look for the Half Moon Group anymore.
If You Yue's skills were really related to the judgment and curse he guessed, then the players of the Holy Tour Guild were simply going to die. After all, all players knew that the veteran players of the Holy Tour Guild were crazy, and the new players helped the game "screen" humans. Which one of them didn't have something that could be judged and cursed?
Unfortunately, they refused to listen and insisted on going.
Many players are paying attention to Datai City and watching the fun in the player exchange center.
At Yan Jingye's repeated request, the Operations Department of the Gaming Administration sent a number of players to Datai City.
On Thursday, Yang Mei sent a message to Xia Bai saying that he was going to Datai City and would visit him when he passed by Jiangqi City.
At that time, Xia Bai was having dinner with Lin Xiang in a restaurant in the university town. Lin Xiang invited him out to dinner just to eat at Guadai City.
Lin Xiang was speaking excitedly at the time, when he suddenly saw a gorgeous girl in a JK uniform walking towards him. It is no exaggeration to say that he immediately forgot what he was going to say, his face turned red little by little, and he slowly lowered his head.
Xia Bai: “…”
"Brother Xia Bai!" Yang Mei came in and sat next to Xia Bai, hugged his arm, and asked him sweetly: "Do you miss me?"
Xia Bai pushed his hand away with a blank look on his face and simply introduced the two of them to each other, "This is my friend Lin Xiang, and this is my colleague Yang Mei."
Lin Xiang, a boy who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, said shyly, "Yang Mei, what a nice name. Her eyebrows and eyes are like a painting, and she lives up to her name."
Xia Bai: “…”
Just praise it.
"Really?" Yang Mei immediately moved closer to Lin Xiang, "Did I draw my eyebrows well today?"
The innocent virgin Lin Xiang nodded with a red face.
Yang Mei: "The description of having eyebrows and eyes like a painting is a bit ancient. I also like wearing Hanfu. How about wearing Hanfu tomorrow?"
Lin Xiang immediately said excitedly: "I really like girls wearing Hanfu, they look so good."
Yang Mei asked: "What about the JK uniform I'm wearing?"
Lin Xiang's face turned even redder.
Yang Mei then asked, "Do you like seeing people wearing Lolita-style clothes?"
Lin Xiang's ears even turned red.
Xia Bai: “…”
He ate his spicy and sour potato shreds with a dull look on his face. Since Yang Mei showed up, he was the only one eating at the table.
He even went to pay the bill alone, luckily Lin Xiang still came over.
He ran over and asked, "Xia Bai, what does Yang Mei like? Do you want to go to a movie together later?"
Xia Bai: Lin Xiang, you are heterosexual, right?
"Of course, a straight man, really straight." Lin Xiang said, "If I were gay, wouldn't I have fallen in love with you a long time ago? To be honest, Xia Bai, I used to think that if you were a girl I would chase you, but now I know, well, it turns out that my dream goddess is like this, hehe."
Lin Xiang touched his head and said "Hey" twice, but he couldn't help himself and said to Xia Bai excitedly: "Oh my God, how can she be so cute! She is so cute!"
Xia Bai: “…”
Even Erwa poked his head out of his pocket.
Lin Xiang rubbed Erwa's head, with the corner of his mouth turned up to the sky, "Isn't it Erwa? She is so cute. You must be dizzy with her cuteness."
“…”
"And, I don't know why." Lin Xiang blushed and said, "She gave me the feeling that she wanted to fall in love with me. Is this the atmosphere of a destined lover?"
“…”
Just as Xia Bai was about to say something, Yang Mei came out of the bathroom after finishing her makeup and said, "Let's go."
Lin Xiang summoned up the greatest courage in his life and said, "There is a good movie recently. Do you want to go and watch it together?"
"I also want to go to the movies with you guys." As soon as Lin Xiang smiled, Yang Mei said, "But I have to get up early tomorrow morning to catch a plane to Datai City. I have to go to bed early tonight, otherwise I will have dark circles under my eyes."
Lin Xiang immediately said, "What a coincidence, I'm going to Datai City too."
Xia Bai: “…”
He turned around and asked Xia Bai: "Xia Bai, are you going?"
Xia Baimian was determined, "No."
Yang Mei also asked eagerly: "Xia Bai, are you really not going?"
Xia Bai said firmly for the second time: "No."
He would never go to this Datai city a second time.
After finally returning home exhausted in the evening, Xia Bai received a message from Song Shi, saying that Xia Bai would have another mission this Saturday.
Song Shi: [There is a map in Datai City that is on the attack list. Do you want to take it? Team Ling is in Datai City now. If you want to take it, you can continue to play together.]
Xia Bai: “…”
