Wen Nan looked at the person sitting close to him in front of him, and his eyes became a little complicated for a moment.
When he and Yu Shujun first met, he assumed that the other was a player.
Even though she now knew that the other party was originally just a character, she still took into account both the identities of player and character.
In Wen Nan's heart, Yu Shujun has never left his identity as a player.
Therefore, in the game world, with the help of a golden driving pattern, he believed that his little maid could come back to him at any time.
Even if one day he has to leave this game world and return to reality, Wen Nan feels that as long as the two of them take the initiative to look for each other, they will eventually meet again like in Sword Art Online.
However, it was obvious that Yu Shujun was not as optimistic as Wen Nan.
In this regard, Yu Shujun has always been like this - cautious, treading on thin ice, and full of a sense of crisis no matter what he does.
Wen Nan attributed this to his personality. He was the type of person who didn't care much about anything and just lived a day-to-day life. However, Yu Shujun was obviously the type of person who always thought of the worst-case scenario and was very thoughtful.
Although this led to a lot of disagreements between the two of them when they were clearing the dungeon, Wen Nan found it quite interesting and never felt there was any problem.
But now, a thought suddenly popped up in Wen Nan's mind.
Ever since he realized that Yu Shujun was actually a character and not an orthodox player, Wen Nan has never had the chance to sit down and think about it calmly.
Therefore, it was not until now that Wen Nan had the opportunity to re-examine this issue——
"If one day you complete this game, can you leave here as a player?"
Wen Nan asked this question and then looked seriously into the eyes of the person opposite him.
Yu Shujun stared back at the other person in a daze.
She rarely saw him look so serious, and she read a hint of emotion in his eyes that she had never seen before.
That emotion was well hidden by the other party, and if it had been anyone else, they would probably have simply ignored it.
But Yu Shujun captured it accurately.
With her keen sense for her 28-star character, she captured it.
When she carefully investigated, she could easily detect that emotion, even if it was only a trace -
fear.
The man opposite is afraid.
Yu Shujun was stunned for a moment.
She originally thought that the other party didn't have such emotions at all.
So... can you be afraid too?
What are you afraid of? Yu Shujun's palm unconsciously showed a golden light, like gilded gold, wrapped around her wrist.
It is a sign before manifestation.
Such a subtle feeling of fear was not enough to make Yu Shujun appear on a large scale. Yu Shujun turned his wrist and easily dispersed the golden light.
Looking back into the other person's eyes, Yu Shujun said firmly: "Of course, I'm a player. As long as you pass the level, you can leave here, and so can I."
Wen Nan still stared into the other person's eyes and asked seriously, "Really?"
"Yes, really." Yu Shujun's eyelashes trembled slightly, forcing himself to look at the person opposite him, and a very light smile appeared at the corner of his lips. "Why, are you afraid that I will go out to look for you?"
Wen Nan smiled, weighed the void stone carved into the shape of a little white dragon in his hand, and said half-jokingly: "Such an expensive gift, I thought you wanted to use it as a token of love, and then you would come to me with it after you get out and ask me to take responsibility."
Yu Shujun said very coldly: "Don't be so sentimental."
Wen Nan shrugged and looked up at the dark night sky. "The weather is too bad tonight. I can't see any stars. There's not even a moon."
Yu Shujun looked up at the sky and said, "It's a pity that you probably won't be able to watch the stars with them."
Wen Nan gave the other party a look that said "Do you underestimate your master?" He stood up, took out a small reagent bottle from the equipment reserve column, then raised his hand and threw the medicine in the bottle into the air.
The originally pitch-black night sky was immediately covered with stars, and in the center above the head, a Milky Way stretched across it.
Yu Shujun looked up and stared at it for a moment, "This is..."
"A Midsummer Night's Dream," said Winant, "with a few minor changes and additions of my own."
Yu Shujun murmured the name again, "Is it... a prop?"
"The amulet Zero made it," Wen Nan said with a smile, "How is it, does it look good?"
Yu Shujun raised her head and looked towards the night sky. The sky full of stars came into her sight, making her eyes look even more lively.
Nodding, she praised sincerely, "It looks good."
Wen Nan leaned against the window, raised his arms, and rested them behind his head, looking at the night sky with her. "As expected of the guardian of the scabbard of the divine staff, the props he made are of very good quality."
Hearing the name "Guardian of the Scepter's Sheath", Yu Shujun retracted his gaze and looked at the man in front of him again, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Wen Nan's eyes were always fixed on the starry sky above his head. With a smile on his lips, he said casually, "If you have anything to say, just say it. I've come with you to see the stars. Do you still want to keep your thoughts to yourself?"
Yu Shujun lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then spoke directly: "Why don't you want to be permanently bound to the sheath of the divine staff? Don't you want to be the sheath bearer?"
Wen Nan withdrew his hand from behind his head, rested his elbow on his knee, moved closer to Yu Shujun, and said, "How many pieces of the divine staff are there in total?"
Yu Shujun frowned slightly, not understanding why the other party suddenly asked this, but still replied: "12 yuan."
Wen Nan asked again: "How many pieces are there that are unowned now?"
Yu Shujun lowered his eyelashes.
The 11th piece appeared in the trial map after the death of the Twelve Amulets, and was taken by the man opposite and used directly.
The 12th piece, together with the amulet Thirteen, came to this copy from the previous advanced copy.
"There's only one piece left." Yu Shujun replied truthfully.
Wen Nan followed the other party's answer and said, "Except for this last piece, the remaining eleven pieces have all fallen into the hands of different players.
"I have half a piece, you have two and a half pieces, and Carl Milak has one piece. This information was presented to us as explicit information after the test space of the Scepter's Sheath was opened.
"That is to say, if I didn't have the Scepter's Sheath, I wouldn't be able to know this information. Even if you got the relevant information from places like Feng Shui Huan, you wouldn't be sure, right?"
Yu Shujun nodded, "Yeah."
Wen Nan continued, "In addition to the information about the fragments revealed in the test space of the Scepter Sheath, and the only remaining fragment, who holds the remaining seven fragments? The six major guilds? The nine legends?"
Yu Shujun replied: "Each of the six guild presidents holds at least one piece."
Wen Nan added: "Everyone in the six major guilds has at least one piece. You have two and a half pieces in your hand now. The remaining two pieces are probably in the hands of the three people in the nine legends who do not belong to the six major guilds.
"These actually don't require a very high level, nor do they require access to core secrets. Ordinary players can easily deduce them. Then why, before the Scepter Scabbard appeared, there were almost no reports of players or guilds fighting over the Scepter fragments?"
Yu Shujun did not answer, but just looked at Wen Nan steadily.
Wen Nan gave her the answer: "Because a certain balance has been reached between the players and the guilds. Everyone checks and balances each other, and then develops on their own."
Hearing this, Yu Shujun had a vague premonition of what Wen Nan wanted to say, but he was not sure, so he just waited silently for him to finish.
Wen Nan cleared his throat and asked his last question: "Xiaojun, have you heard of Li Sen's dilemma?"
Yu Shujun shook his head, "What is that?"
"It is a term in economics. Simply put, when a certain fund becomes the only banker, all other institutions will become its counterparties."
Wen Nan said, raising his hand and pointing at Yu Shujun's equipment reserve column, "You are now temporarily bound to the sheath of the divine staff. You should have received the instructions from the sheath, right? "The background introduction clearly states that once bound, the holder of the sheath must take on the responsibility of collecting all the fragments, and the fight continues until death.
"That is to say, once the sheath of the divine staff is permanently bound, it will be equivalent to announcing to all players that I am the only Mingzhuang.
"Becoming a Sheath Bearer means that you are standing against the six major guilds, the nine legends, and even all high-level players."
At this point, Wen Nan shrugged, "You know, I've always been a laid-back person. I came here just to have fun. I don't want to openly become an enemy of the six major guilds, and I don't want to be the target of public criticism."
Hearing this, Yu Shujun lowered his eyes and fell silent.
After thinking for a long time, she said, "I understand."
Wen Nan was a little surprised, "You're not going to say I'm wrong this time?"
Yu Shujun shook his head.
She had to admit that Wen Nan's words made sense.
It was her own wish to obtain the scabbard of the divine staff. Even if she felt that the other party was more suitable than her, she should not impose this wish on the other party, because the responsibility and risk behind this wish were too heavy.
Thinking of this, Yu Shujun unconsciously clenched his hands into fists.
never mind.
That legend is, after all, just a legend.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Perhaps it is not worth taking such a risk for an illusory legend.
…
…
On the terrace and in the garden, four women hid in the dark and "accidentally" overheard the conversation of the newlyweds, then returned to their guest rooms.
Ru Huan opened the chat box with Ye Jiu and was about to send a message when there was a knock on the door.
When she opened the door, she saw the person standing in front of it. She smiled at her and called out, "Sister Ruhuan, I..."
Without waiting for the other party to say anything, Ru Huan pulled the other party into the house and closed the door. "No need to explain. Your appearance in my room now is the best explanation. I believe everything you said before."
As she spoke, Ru Huan stretched out her hand and moved down along the other person's chest...
Wen Nan acted a little embarrassed, "Are you really——"
"——Okay," Ru Huan raised her hand and placed it on the other person's lips, interrupting him, "You don't have to say anything. Sister doesn't want to waste any more words."
…
…
In the next room, at the same time, Xiao Fei raised her hand and roughly pulled open the collar of Wen Nan's shirt, revealing his muscular chest and broad arms.
Seeing this, Xiao Fei licked the corner of her lips with the tip of her tongue, then lowered her head and bit Wen Nan's shoulder.
The teeth embedded in the flesh and blood immediately appeared.
…
…
"hiss--"
The pain was transmitted to the other body at the same time, causing Wen Nan to gasp slightly.
Ru Huan noticed the other person's reaction and raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction, "Little Jiu, you are still so young and innocent, just the way my sister likes you."
This greatly triggered Ru Huan's desire for control, and her actions became more and more unscrupulous. She failed to control the strength in her hands and pushed Wen Nan against the wall of the entrance, making a dull "bang" sound.
…
…
On the other side of the wall, Xiao Feisong spoke, frowning and looking at the next door, "What's that sound?"
"The soundproofing here is not good, let's change places?"
Wen Nan said as he took Xiao Fei's hand and led her away from the entrance and into the bedroom.
Xiao Fei understood and jumped onto the bed, then took Wen Nan's hand and led him to the bed.
Wen Nan's center of balance was unstable. He stretched out his arms, supported on both sides of her head, and looked at her from top to bottom.
Xiao Fei raised her hands, put her arms around Wen Nan's neck, and said proudly: "Brother Ye, I knew that when you made a wish, the person you were talking about must be me."
…
…
Next door, Wenwen was sitting on the head of the bed, anxiously waiting silently, when she heard Xiaofei's voice calling "Brother Ye" faintly from the other side of the wall.
Could it be that the girl that Ye Jiu was talking about when he made a wish was the plain-looking idiot next door who could only stare and get angry? Surprisingly, it wasn't me.
Wenwen's brows were knitted together, and an extremely unwilling emotion surged in her heart. Her whole body was trembling slightly, and her hands were clenched into fists, with her nails digging into the flesh of her palms.
“Knock, knock.”
There was a knock on the door, bringing Wenwen back to her senses. She stood up, opened the door, and saw the unexpected face. "You, what's wrong with you? You're not..."
Wenwen was so shocked that she was incoherent. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the door of Xiaofei's room next door. She felt as if she could still vaguely hear the flirting of a man and a woman coming from inside. How could the other party appear in front of her at the same time? Could it be that she heard it wrong, did she misunderstand Ye Jiu? "Don't you welcome me over?" Wen Nan asked.
Wenwen finally came to her senses and raised her hand to pull him into the room. "How could that be? I've been waiting for you all night."
After closing the door, Wenwen went straight to the point, then paused, "How come you've already..."
But Wen Nan must have kept this truth to himself.
Wenwen smiled with satisfaction. Seeing that the other party was in high spirits, she wanted to try something new. However, since they were in someone else's home, there was not much room for her to play.
After thinking for a moment, Wenwen took Wen Nan's hand and walked to the balcony.
Lifting the suspenders with her fingers and letting the dress fall to the ground, Wenwen pulled Wen Nan's hand and pressed it on her waist, "Here, while it's dark, okay?"
Wen Nan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Aren't you afraid of being seen?"
Wenwen's smile deepened, "Isn't that better?"
…
…
Xu Zhenzhen heard the noise, walked to the balcony, and saw it on the balcony next door.
She hastily looked away and ran back to her room, Xu Zhenzhen covered her wildly beating heart and bit her lower lip tightly.
She was so stupid that she actually thought that the person Ye Jiu cared about the most was herself. But she was still waiting for the other person to appear, but that person was already next door.
Xu Zhenzhen closed her eyes and almost bit her lower lip.
There was a knock on the door.
Then, she saw the man she had been thinking about appear at the door.
"Xiao Jiujiu." Xu Zhenzhen called out hesitantly.
The person on the other side smiled at her and asked, "Can I come in and sit down, Sister Zhenzhen?"
Xu Zhenzhen could still clearly hear the noise coming from the balcony next door, but she was no longer bothered by it.
Ye Jiu came to see her.
She was sure that she was the one that he wanted to watch the stars with on his birthday, the one that he cared about the most. (End of this chapter)
