Following Lu Jin'an's instructions, Gu Zhilin started the aircraft.
Fortunately, he was indeed clever enough that the aircraft took off smoothly.
There were no other players around at the moment, so he took the opportunity to fly around randomly a few times to get a feel for the controls.
Within just over ten minutes, Gu Zhilin's skills had improved considerably, so Lu Jin'an instructed him to fly towards the direction with the most players.
"Wouldn't it be suicide for me to go there like this?" Gu Zhilin asked, somewhat worried.
"I'm here, I won't let you die." Lu Jin'an's voice was tinged with laughter, as if he was in a good mood.
Gu Zhilin stopped backing down and flew the aircraft in the direction he had indicated.
Sure enough, not long after he flew over, he encountered several other players flying in their aircraft on the edge. They probably realized he was a new player, and they immediately went all out.
Gu Zhilin reacted extremely quickly, almost grazing the edge of the laser cannon several times.
Watching his actions, Lu Jin'an felt her blood boil with excitement.
He knew very well that this person was operating a flying machine for the first time, yet he was able to quickly dodge the laser cannons, and it was clear that his flight path was planned.
He could even sense that Gu Zhilin was anticipating the attack method and direction of the method.
This person was simply born for the cosmic battlefield.
Having dodged several laser cannon attacks, Gu Zhilin's spirits rose higher and higher.
They even actively fly towards areas with more players.
Lu Jin'an, who had been inactive until now, has also begun to take action.
They didn't communicate, but Lu Jin'an would always find a suitable angle to attack other players during his flight.
Moreover, he can ensure that every shot hits its mark, with each shell striking an aircraft.
After discovering Lu Jin'an's actions, Gu Zhilin subconsciously began to create the best angle and the best time for the opponent to attack.
Gu Zhilin weaved through the numerous aircraft.
It quickly attracted the attention of other players. This small flying machine was completely unharmed in the melee and even attacked many high-level players.
Almost as if by unspoken agreement, all the aircraft headed towards Gu Zhilin's aircraft, seemingly intending to deal with them first.
Faced with multiple attacks, Gu Zhilin did not panic; instead, he became even more excited.
He located the strongest aircraft he could see, circled around to its underside, and flew close to its belly.
Seeing this, Lu Jin'an understood his meaning, and her smile widened.
Because it was so close to that aircraft, it was inevitably attacked when other aircraft attacked it as well.
The aircraft quickly discovered the problem and attempted to shake off Gu Zhilin.
However, they found that they couldn't shake him off no matter what angle or speed they used; Gu Zhilin could keep up.
In many cases, Gu Zhilin was even able to predict the opponent's flight path.
With these two aircraft sharing the firepower, Gu Zhilin was not only flying close to Lu Jin'an, but also looking for opportunities for Lu Jin'an to launch a counterattack.
The two worked together seamlessly, defeating dozens of aircraft in the chaotic battle.
However, due to the overwhelming number of enemy troops and the loss of the aircraft used as cover, the aircraft was eventually overwhelmed and taken offline.
Even after the game ended, Gu Zhilin was still immersed in the excitement, breathing in the fresh air deeply.
Feeling the scene of flying and fighting in space just now.
Seeing that he hadn't come out of the game pod, Lu Jin'an took the initiative to open it, worried that the other person might have physical problems due to excessive excitement.
Just as the game pod was opened, Gu Zhilin turned around at the sound of the voice, and a pair of bright eyes entered Lu Jin'an's eyes.
Gu Zhilin was still panting, his eyes filled with excitement, and his cheeks were flushed with excitement.
After staring at Lu Jin'an for several seconds, he subconsciously swallowed and wiped his mouth before saying, "How is it? This feeling is not bad, is it?"
"Great!" Gu Zhilin replied with a loud laugh.
Seeing Gu Zhilin like this, Lu Jin'an couldn't help but laugh as well: "Want to do it again?"
Gu Zhilin nodded.
The two started another round. This time, because of the previous match, many players already knew that the person on the aircraft was very skilled, so they focused their attacks on him from the start.
The more this happened, the more excited Gu Zhilin became.
Moreover, the two are working together more and more seamlessly.
Although they still failed to win in the end this time, the number of remaining aircraft was significantly reduced.
At the end, Gu Zhilin received many friend requests.
He hesitated whether to accept the request, but when he thought that the account belonged to Lu Jin'an, he finally chose to refuse.
The two played about three or four rounds.
When Lu Jin'an sent out another request to start the game, Gu Zhilin rejected it.
"What's wrong?" Lu Jin'an frowned as she looked at the man who came out of the game pod. Had he gotten tired of playing?
Gu Zhilin shook his head: "I should go back. Wen Yifan said she made something delicious for me tonight and is waiting for me to come back. Besides, I haven't done my meditation homework for today. It will be too late if I don't go back soon."
He checked the time on the smart device.
Lu Jin'an then realized that it was already late. It wasn't that he had never played flight simulator games before, but this was the first time he had ever lost track of time while playing.
Feeling a little apologetic, he said, "Let me take you home."
This time, Gu Zhilin did not refuse: "Then I'll trouble you."
“It’s never a bother for you,” the man replied with a smile, then walked out of the arcade.
Gu Zhilin was immune to this person's tendency to say things that could be misunderstood.
I don't plan to correct it anymore.
On the flying car, Lu Jin'an asked, "What was this meditation you were talking about?"
"It's a way of cultivation for us Taoists," Gu Zhilin replied casually, seemingly not intending to say more, though it wasn't that he was unwilling to elaborate.
He simply couldn't explain this to modern people.
Modern people probably only have things like technology, programming, meditation, and qigong that they can't understand.
Fortunately, Lu Jin'an didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she asked, "You just mentioned Wen Yifan as a friend? Are you living together?"
Based on the information he gathered, Gu Zhilin should be living alone.
Gu Zhilin nodded and then shook his head, somewhat speechless, and said, "What do you mean by cohabitation? What are you thinking about all day, General Lu? He is my neighbor and also my friend in this world. This world is very unfamiliar to me now, and I cherish having a few friends like him, understand?"
Lu Jin'an suddenly realized that this person was frozen more than a thousand years ago, and woke up more than a thousand years later.
The world had completely changed; it was all unfamiliar to him, and he felt like an outsider.
This feeling must be one of loneliness.
He turned to look at the man beside him, who was gazing out the car window with a forlorn expression, lost in thought.
“Actually… you can also consider me a friend.” Lu Jin’an said as if possessed.
