Some time passed.
While Xu Piao and the interstellar wanderers were fighting an online guerrilla war in full swing, the original male protagonist of the book she transmigrated into, Huang He, finally discovered what Shi Yueshang's original game was all about.
Because Shi Yue had also returned to the original game during the period when "Daydream Back" was banned, Huang He later returned to "Daydream Back" and found that several other girls in his association also had such behavior. After asking them about it, he finally understood that Shi Yue, who had been in a good relationship with him (in his opinion), had suddenly become cold because she had gone to play the dating game.
Huang He was confused and at a loss for a moment. He went to Shi Yue awkwardly and said, "What's so fun about that game? If you want to have a relationship, just come to me." - and so on. As a result, Shi Yue gave him a look of disgust.
As the original male protagonist of the sweet pet novel, if you say he is good, then he is generally okay, otherwise he would not be the male protagonist. Compared with others, he is at least capable, but in terms of personality... Most of the time, Shi Yue doesn't know why he is angry, and when he is angry, he behaves in a domineering and unreasonable manner.
Simply put, their dating style is very childish, and it's very tiring to talk about it.
If this had followed the normal plot of a sweet pet story, by the end, when the two had confirmed their deep feelings for each other, Shi Yue would have been able to coax him down with her high emotional intelligence, allowing him to gradually change the elementary and middle school student part of his personality, and it would have become a true sweet pet story.
But now there is a comparison here.
Look at Pei Junhuai—strong yet gentle, tolerant and peaceful, considerate and respectful. Being around him doesn't make you feel tired, but rather relaxed and comfortable. And if you're going through some unforgettable things together, the senior brother gave her his all in the flashbacks. And with each new event, there's always something new and surprising. For example, in one event, you could become a beautiful mermaid playing a mermaid captain role-playing game, in this one, you could become the mysterious Imperial Master, in the next, you could become an untainted immortal, and in the animal world, you could even become a white deer—all of which CH had already teased.
To put it mildly, there is no harm without comparison. To put it bluntly, if you compare people, you will find that things will be thrown away if you compare them.
This made Huang He, who might have been considered above-qualified, no longer have a passing score in Shi Yue's eyes when compared with Pei Junhuai. Moreover, in a holographic environment, the boundary between virtual and reality has become much more blurred. Shi Yue felt that as long as "Daydream Review" was not closed, she would continue to like it. Even if "Daydream Review" was closed, she could still find a way to try to export her senior brother's data.
So when Huang He came to see her, Shi Yue told him directly, "I'm sorry, I may not like you now."
Then he simply left to play games, leaving Huang He with a confused look on his face.
"Wait...!" Huang He was like a dog that was enjoying its meal at home, but was suddenly hit with a stick and kicked out. It took him a long while to finally realize that he had... lost to a game?!
Huang He simply couldn't accept this fact and wanted to chase after Shi Yue to make him explain clearly, but Shi Yue had already left and he didn't know which direction to chase after him.
After a while, he finally remembered to send a message to the vice president of their association, asking, "Adong, those games that were previously blocked seem to have a virtual network later on. Do you know the address?"
"Hmm? What do you want this for, President?"
"Don't ask why, it works!"
At least he had to find out clearly and find out how he lost a game inexplicably... Now, whenever he thought of this, Huang He felt extremely uncomfortable, and there was an unprecedented sense of absurdity and frustration.
...Is he really such a failure as a human being?
"Oh, then I'll go ask my sister if she has the address!" The vice president agreed without knowing why. After a while, an address was sent to Huang He.
Huang He compared the address, took a few deep breaths, and tried to enter the address to enter the legendary CH virtual network.
His luck was pretty good. When he jumped, he didn't encounter a busy route that required him to change routes. He waited for a short while and then went in directly.
But the situation in the virtual network surprised him.
Huang He also knew that the Alliance had recently publicly stated that it was prohibiting Alliance members from playing those banned games on the virtual network. He would occasionally see people on the Star Network mentioning that they had cancelled their game accounts and refunded a certain amount of Alliance coins. It seemed that most of them had indeed stopped playing those games.
Therefore, he did not expect that when he came in, he would see so many people coming in and out of this virtual square, and each light screen serving as an entrance and exit had a huge flow of people in and out.
Even if Huang He did not have the idea of 'alliance supremacy', he would inevitably feel a little surprised when he saw this scene.
Could this game made by a producer called ch really be this fun? Could it actually allow so many people to secretly do something the Alliance doesn't allow?
——This is too exaggerated!
However, this was not Huanghe's purpose in entering the virtual network, and it had nothing to do with him.
Huang He quickly found the light screen labeled "Daydream Recall" among the entrance and exit light screens.
He wanted to go in directly to see why Shi Yue had drawn a line between him and him for this game, but when he walked to the entrance of the "Daydream Backtrack" game, he hesitated a little.
Isn't it a bit too reckless to go in like this without any preparation?
After all, this game is no longer just a game to him, but a love rival. If he wants to face a love rival face to face, he should first want to find out the news about the rival and make full preparations to be prudent, right?
Well, that’s indeed true.
Huang He thought so, and looked at the main chat channel and the frequency divisions of different games in the virtual network, and then looked at the players entering and exiting "Daydream Rewind". In addition to girls, there were also many men entering and exiting that light screen. In this case, it shouldn't be too conspicuous to find a same-sex person to inquire about information, right?
Thinking so, he did so. However, just when he decided on the person to gather information and was about to go over and talk to him, the environment of the virtual network square suddenly changed. Everything around him became somewhat unreal, and the entire scene seemed to have changed.
The square with five pillars turned into a mountain peak in the white clouds.
"What's going on?"
"Why did it suddenly become like this? What happened?"
"Are we changing routes again?"
The players around were talking about it, but no one seemed to be panicking. Huang He mingled among the players, looked down at the mountain surrounded by clouds and mist below his feet, and took a step back without leaving a trace. Only then did he feel a little safer.
"Excuse me, everyone." As they were discussing this, a familiar panda figure appeared from the sea of clouds ahead. The panda's face wore the familiar, slightly demonic smile they all knew. "Well, starting today, my latest game will be available on the virtual network. I've also made a CG to give you a rough idea of what this game is about."
"ch?"
"It's CH himself!"
"I was shocked. It turned out to be a new game... Wait, there's a new game?!"
“So fast!”
Amidst these continuous exclamations, some people were simply happy, while others were a bit disbelieving and wanted to ask what the content and type of the new game was.
Ch smiled slightly, "The genre of this game is called martial arts."
...Okay, another type of game I've never heard of.
Players who have played many games on CH are almost used to it. In addition, although everyone is a little overwhelmed by the four existing games, they are still looking forward to CH's new games.
The Pandaman disappeared after some explanation, allowing players to appreciate the CG of this new game.
Suddenly, among the misty mountains, someone heard a loud crane cry. Everyone looked in the direction of the crane's cry and saw that the clouds and mist in front of them were parted by something. They could vaguely see a mountain standing in front of them that was taller than this mountain.
The side of the mountain facing them was as smooth as if it had been cut. Some people with sharp eyes saw that there was also a person standing on the top of the mountain. The person was wearing white clothes. After a moment, he jumped down from the top of the mountain. The players here immediately exclaimed in surprise. However, the person in white clothes did not fall straight down according to the laws of physics. Instead, he hovered in front of the stone wall of the mountain, drew his sword, and danced with it in front of the stone wall.
He was still dancing with a sword in the air, but it seemed that this suspension in the air could not be maintained forever. Instead, he relied on the movement of the sword sliding on the stone wall to maintain the suspension.
——Many players have seen swords. After all, there are sword immortals and many generals in "Peach Blossom Spring".
"What are they doing?" one of the players asked in confusion.
Huang He also had the same doubt, but he didn't ask it out loud.
"Hey, look, don't the traces left by that person on the mountain look like words?" After looking for a while, some players suddenly discovered this.
Others took a closer look and found that it seemed to be true.
However, the words on the stone wall are not easy to recognize and look quite sloppy. However, some players who have played "Peach Blossom Spring" and seen many things written by travelers can barely recognize them. They follow the traces of the man's sword on the stone wall and try to identify what is written on it.
"...What do you mean by 'shining a white horse' and 'like a shooting star'? I can't make out a few words clearly..."
"That word is the silver one, right? And the one after it is the sa one?"
"The first sentence is really hard to recognize. I almost want to go to the Peach Blossom Spring and ask a traveler to recognize the words."
“…”
Those who had been to Peach Blossom Spring could barely recognize it, but the rest were completely clueless. However, after the man in white wrote a few words on the wall with his sword, a distant voice appeared between heaven and earth, slowly reading out the words the man in white had carved on the stone wall.
"The Zhao guest's hair is covered with tassels, and the Wu hook is shining with frost and snow. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, which gallops like a shooting star."
"Kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles. When the work is done, leave, concealing both the body and the name."
As the desolate voice slowly recited these words, the man in white had already written the entire stone wall with his sword. Finally, the man nailed the sword in the middle of the words "Don't leave any traces" and stopped himself on a branch that extended obliquely from the edge of the stone wall. He quietly looked at the poem he had carved on the stone wall. His white clothes fluttered in the wind, overlapping with the stroke of the "person" in "kill one person".
The desolate voice seemed to smile, "In the past, Li Bai wrote 'The Knight's Song'. Now there is a famous sword, so let's name it 'Bu Liu Xing'."
The author has something to say:
Note: The Zhao guest wears a tasseled Hu hat, and the Wu hook shines brightly like frost and snow. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, which gallops like a meteor.
Kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles. When the work is done, leave, concealing both your identity and your name.
——"The Knight-errant" by Li Bai
