Chapter 11
When Bian Lu saw the message from Zhan Mu, he almost forgot that he had added this person. He hissed several times and the coffee in his hand was almost burnt before he was reminded by An Jing who was passing by.
"Oh, him. He has a cousin, do you remember?" An Jing was fiddling with the green Submariner on his wrist with a look of regret and heartache. Finally, he took it off reluctantly. After all, he was just an ordinary civil servant working at the grassroots level, and it was extremely inappropriate for him to carry such expensive stuff.
"That Zhan Mu?" Bian Lu thought, snorting sarcastically. "Wow, you have a really good memory. I thought he was Teacher An's next target for revolution."
"Shut up!" An Jing put the watch in the cabinet and said angrily, "If you bring up that incident again, I'll never let you go."
Bian Lu chuckled, then chatted with Zhan Mufa TT: "That game called Desperate Situation? I play it, but I'm busy with work lately, so I don't have time to form a team for the time being."
Zhan Mu was biting the shattered ice with a crunching sound. He didn't expect that he would reply to him in seconds. He smiled in surprise and replied directly and enthusiastically, "Brother, what's your elemental attribute? Why don't we level up together tonight?"
So lively... Lu Chao witnessed his enthusiasm, which was not unique to him, on the other side of the screen. He subconsciously raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed, and his consciousness had already penetrated the big data and browsed through Bian Lu's appearance and even personal information.
Yes, he is really handsome, and his height is 187cm, which is acceptable. He is also a top student at Blue Continent University of Science and Technology.
Then, after peeping at the nude photos of An in Bian's mobile phone, he became silent, embarrassed and speechless.
Zhan Mu and Bian Lu actually chatted back and forth for several sentences. Not only did Lu Chao look at them with scrutiny, but even Bian's real husband couldn't stand it anymore. He clicked on his voice and said, "Take me with you. I like it too. I can also play the game Desperate Situation."
"It's not you..." The voice was interrupted after a few clicks. Zhan Mu was very curious about what happened. In fact, An had already sneered and started a verbal fight with Bian.
Zhan Mu expressed his doubts, but saw that Lu Chao seemed to be well prepared. He pulled out news pieces to reveal their past to him and talked about history, politics and economics.
The birth of Blue Continent was seen by the world at that time as a form of escapism. When miasma spread all over the earth, some elites abandoned the land and entered underwater bases to compete with aquatic animals for resources.
To put it bluntly, it is human invasion of the ocean.
The emergence of Lanzhou took away many high-tech and scientific and technological talents of Xia State. The concept of "the king dies for the country" was not in the eyes of this group of people - and it was because of this that Xia State fell into decline.
The glory is gone and it is only known as the era of ancient Xia Kingdom.
An Jing is obviously a vested interest. His father was one of the first people to respond to Blue Continent's call, and as expected, he later became the leader of the ruling base.
When the end of the world comes and the land becomes uninhabitable, is it right to command humans to rely on the ocean to survive?
This question has always tormented Blue Continent leaders.
Therefore, during the third term, that is, during the period of An Xingmin, the father of An Jing, he made a bold decision, which was to deny the original decision of Deng Zhengming (the proposer and practitioner of the Blue Island Base Plan) - to let the ocean people go ashore.
The implementation of any national policy cannot be absolutely fair, so asking the ocean people to abandon the conditions of the Blue Island underwater base and return to land is tantamount to a new form of escapism, which is a shame.
An Xingmin asked his son An Jing to do this.
To offend those who are dissatisfied.
After this happened, An Jing would no longer be qualified to return to his hometown, and the leader An Xingmin would never be able to leave the Blue Continent Undersea Base.
"I seem to understand, but I also don't seem to understand." Zhan Mu said, "So are the An family father and son good guys or bad guys?"
Lu Chao opened his mouth to explain, but then stopped himself and said, "How about we find some time to meet up with them? You can make your own judgment instead of just following the crowd and hating the rich."
Zhan Mu nodded, and went to the game forum to look at the dungeon strategy. Sure enough, it was revealed according to the five elements' mutual generation and restraint relationship as Lu Chao said. However, he did not expect that the four divine beast stone tablets would actually rotate. The four divine beasts had to rotate together and no one died before the level could be passed.
He continued to stare blankly out of boredom. Just as he yawned, he looked up and saw Lu Chao's delicate eyes. There was a faint and ambiguous resentment hidden in his deep eyes.
He asked, "You really don't like me?"
Zhan Mu shuddered, gave a dry laugh, and said in a somewhat speechless and awkward tone, "Well, you, you're a weirdo, I...ah, no, I don't dislike you, I just think what you're doing is quite novel, and I'm helping you out of humanitarianism. How could you think of me like that?"
Lu Chao found himself hurt by his words.
He thought, he always thought, that he was so handsome, trapped in the game, and could even change his clothes at will with one click (not crossed out...). How, how did he meet Zhan Mu, a 1+0 fusion boy who was neither straight nor gay?
He doesn't even look at the leg rings his male model usually wears.
Last time I pinched such big breasts to seduce him, but he remained calm. Damn, does this guy like men or women?
"So you were really following a lot of muscular men in your short videos just for fitness?" Lu Chao felt that his charm was challenged. Damn, he was usually flattered by those dream guys and girls, and when he met a noble one, he felt a little unconvinced for a moment.
"Oh, I also thought about becoming a fitness blogger at that time." Zhan Mu said, lifting his T-shirt sleeves to look at his well-proportioned biceps, and he actually became sad...
Said: "I've been playing games too much and not exercising, so I've gained weight recently."
He doesn't care about Lu Chao's life or death at all.
Oh my god, Lu Chao just realized that they were just roommates.
Lu Chao disappeared directly. In fact, he was breaking down in the two-dimensional world. He didn't want to see him. It was too embarrassing. How could he have such dirty thoughts about seducing such a pure boy?
Lu Chao sometimes felt that he was really despicable. Although he was homophobic, he enjoyed being called a male god and liked the feedback others gave him because of his good looks.
Being looked at with envy by others is such a great feeling!!
Yes, they do have topics to talk about, but Zhan Mu’s stubbornness sometimes even makes Lu Chao doubt his own intelligence, because Zhan Mu will cater to him verbally, but deep down he doesn’t envy him, doesn’t like him, and doesn’t even care about him.
"You..." Lu Chao took a deep breath and accepted it, thinking to himself, I never thought that there would be a day when I would worry about gains and losses.
Is this the feeling of helplessness you get when the big bad wolf, poised for the kill, encounters a little white rabbit dozing off after eating its fill? — How could you jump into the pot without even being able to catch me?
"Play games, log in quickly." Lu Chao appeared again.
"It's okay if it's just the two of us." Zhan Mu didn't even raise his head, and his armpits were itchy, so he started to pull his armpit hair out of boredom. Lu Chao was really impressed, it was so disgusting, this guy really only treated the handsome me as his roommate!
"Okay, I want to establish a deep strategic partnership with you, classmate Zhan Mu. Hurry up and log in. I'll take you flying."
Zhan Mu said "oh" and took the helmet like a fool. He had no sense of being in charge at all. He naturally lowered his head and followed the instructions.
Coincidentally, it’s the Red Rock Desert again.
Zhan Mu was dressed lightly, even wearing a scarlet scarf around his neck. He stood on a large rock, dazed, holding a piece of grass in his mouth. Lu Chao, on the other hand, was showing off in front of everyone. Although his calm face didn't reveal any excessive aggression, the stunned faces of the caravan surrounding him hinted that he was having a great time.
"What an amazing operation!" a female player in the caravan exclaimed. "To be able to run so precisely on the back of a dragon beard worm, his brain wave rate must be over 400."
Emergency mission, help the caravan trapped by the insect storm, if you kill the leader boss, you will get 15,000 game coins as a reward.
"How can you be so kind? I'm not short of money." Zhan Mu looked at Lu Chao, who was riding on the insect's head and was forced to jump up and down, and yawned lazily.
Lu Chao thought he was showing off a difficult move, "Have you not been sleeping well lately? Why do you feel so sleepy every day?"
The caravan players exclaimed in surprise, clapped their hands, and made envious sounds like the cannon fodder passers-by.
"I've always been like this. Whenever I'm bored, I'll keep yawning. I can't control it." As he spoke, Zhan Mu looked at Lu Chao with calm eyes, not at all bewitched by his handsome figure.
Lu Chao was convinced. It was so difficult to soak these green beans.
He was also tired and wanted to end the battle quickly. He raised his hand and took out a golden thunder black sword, and was about to chop the beast under him down with the sword, leaving it with little health and killing it.
Unexpectedly, a girl from the caravan suddenly shouted, "Brother, be careful behind you! Another insect beast is coming! And its blood is even thicker and blacker!"
The dragon-bearded long-tailed worm had white scales and a pair of flesh-pink cobra-like gills. Lu Chao had just pulled the black gold knife out from the worm beast under him, and when he turned around, he saw the black-scaled worm beast biting him.
A bloody mouth, a critical moment——
Zhan Mu was startled and felt something was wrong. After all, the mission set for the caravan to be attacked could only result in a single tail worm. He immediately jumped up, even with his bare hands, but he pushed off the ground, and a square pillar of earth and stone suddenly rose up under his feet.
It seems that the use of elemental power is not bad.
He kicked the black dragon-tail worm sideways with such force that Lu Chao even felt a gust of wind. The next second, he realized that the dragon-tail worm's protective shield had been broken.
"Can I borrow your knife?" Lu Chao was stunned for a moment, then met Zhan Mu's sword-like brows. Zhan Mu pulled the black gold knife from his hand and turned around to attack him.
With one move, he wiped out 80% of the Black Dragontail's health.
Lu Chao realized it later and remembered that his numerical scores in the copy were abused by him. It was due to his inferior equipment, network card and brain waves. What if he was bought with the latest brain-computer equipment on the market?
A low-end mechanism with a high-end killer move. If you give him enough stats, won't he dominate the whole field?!
Whoever said that about Zhan Mucai is talking nonsense.
