Upon seeing these words, Lu Jin'an, whose face was still wet with tears, couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
Reflecting on Gu Zhilin's performance today, he developed an even stronger interest in the profession of Taoist priests in ancient times.
So I used the AI to find a lot of information about ancient Taoist priests and decided to learn more about them.
Gu Zhilin was completely unaware of these things.
Ever since he played the flight simulator game once, Gu Zhilin has been obsessed with it.
Lu Jin'an seemed to be busy as well and didn't bother him anymore.
So he decided to go to the arcade by himself, since he had just received a large sum of money and his financial pressure had been greatly reduced.
However, he didn't have an account himself, and it would be troublesome to apply for a new one, so he messaged Lu Jin'an to ask if he could borrow the account from last time.
Lu Jin'an naturally had no objections.
"Can you play by yourself without a partner? Do you want to wait for me? I'll be free in two days, and I'll play with you then."
Gu Zhilin declined: "No need, I'd like to try it out with other people."
Lu Jin'an wasn't upset about being rejected. Instead, she smiled and replied, "Okay, you can play with other people first. If you're not having enough fun, I'll play with you later."
Gu Zhilin didn't reply again, but instead entered the game and was randomly matched with a fire control operator.
He glanced at the fire control operator; he seemed to be of a high rank. The other party appeared to know that he was the helmsman of the aircraft that had stood out in the last melee.
So Gu Zhilin was very happy to be matched with him: "Boss, I can't believe I was matched with you! My luck is amazing. Everyone's been waiting for you to log on these past few days. Is this your alt account? What's your main account? Can I add you as a friend?"
A barrage of greetings left Gu Zhilin both amused and exasperated: "This is my friend's account. I don't have my own account, so I won't add him as a friend. I'm about to take off, so watch out for my firepower."
"Okay, boss, fly with confidence."
Based on his previous experience, Gu Zhilin flew towards the direction with more players. His piloting skills hadn't changed, but this time he was shot down in less than ten minutes.
He stared in shock at the message that he had logged off, somewhat bewildered.
Has my skill level gotten worse? That shouldn't be the case!
Undeterred, he matched with another fire control operator.
However, he still couldn't last ten minutes before being surrounded and forced offline. He continued to match with over a dozen fire control operators, but the results were still unsatisfactory.
Some fire control operators even criticized him after losing the game, saying he didn't understand teamwork and just flew around randomly.
Some fire control operators honestly admitted, "Sorry, you're too fast, I can't keep up with you."
Only then did Gu Zhilin realize that the reason he was able to fly so smoothly last time was largely due to Lu Jin'an's protection.
He didn't need to worry about the firepower coming from any corner; Lu Jin'an would fight it back.
However, when he encounters a fire control operator who is not skilled enough, he cannot fly without restraint.
An hour later, he sent Lu Jin'an a message: "I'm done playing."
Lu Jin'an received the message just as she finished a training session and replied with amusement, "What's up?"
"I'm still not good enough. Without someone like you to help me with fire control, I would have been hit and logged off very quickly. It turns out that the awesome experience I had last time was just an illusion." Gu Zhilin was a little discouraged.
"It's not that you're not good enough, it's that you're too good." Lu Jin'an didn't expect this person to reflect on himself first, so he had to patiently comfort him: "You are the most talented helmsman I have ever seen. You were so good on your first time flying a plane. The reason you got hit without a suitable fire control operator is because the fire control operator lowered your strength."
“Some fire control operators in aircraft competitions are very capable, but they are far inferior to real soldiers. You are a helmsman who can work well with me, so how can you say that you are not good enough?”
Seeing the comforting words, Gu Zhilin felt much better: "I never expected that General Lu would be so good at comforting people!"
"No."
"there is nothing?"
"This is the first time I've ever comforted someone; I've never done it before, and... I'm just telling the truth." Lu Jin'an's direct approach was confident and assertive.
"By the way, I've always wanted to ask you, how did you manage to predict the trajectory of the aircraft above us during our last competition? Even experienced warship helmsmen might not have your accurate predictive ability." Lu Jin'an asked curiously, recalling that exhilarating competition last time.
"Have you forgotten that I am a Taoist priest?" Gu Zhilin chuckled. "When I entered the competition, I set up my own chart. It seems more convenient to set up the chart in the universe. And my position is the central palace. I can control the time and space within the chart at will."
"No matter where the other party is, as long as I stand in the central position, whatever direction they go is the direction I decide."
"So it wasn't that I predicted his trajectory, but rather that I determined his trajectory."
Mentioning this, Gu Zhilin still felt a little regretful: "It's also because my skills are not good enough that I couldn't bring all the aircraft into the game at once."
"A formation?" Lu Jin'an recalled the information he had read about Taoists in the past few days: "Something like a Bagua formation?"
"Pretty much. You actually know about the Bagua formation." Gu Zhilin was surprised that a modern person would know something that had long been abandoned by technology.
"I've been looking at some information recently," Lu Jin'an said honestly. "The information shows that when you Taoists reach a certain level of cultivation, you can fly on a sword and even open the Heavenly Gate."
Were all your previous colleagues this capable?
Gu Zhilin almost burst out laughing when he saw the text displayed on the smart device: "Lu Jin'an, what kind of information are you looking at? It's probably not a cultivation novel, is it?"
"A novel?" Lu Jin'an hadn't expected that the material he had been studying so diligently was actually a novel.
"Yes! Are there demon-slaying and righteous acts, and spirits and monsters inside?"
"Yes!" Lu Jin'an felt her face burning. "I thought it was a book that specifically recorded the deeds of you Taoists."
“Hahahaha… Lu Jin’an can just ask the Taoists if he wants to know. Even in the 21st century, there aren’t many books about Taoists, let alone what you see now, which are mostly supernatural tales.” Gu Zhilin kindly reminded him, “If you really want to know, you can look at books like the Taishang Ganying Pian and Qi Ti Yuan Liu, but you probably won’t understand them without systematic study.”
Seeing Gu Zhilin say that, Lu Jin'an didn't intend to make things difficult for herself: "Then I'll ask you myself."
"I have time the day after tomorrow, would you like to come with me to fly a flying machine?"
Thinking of today's failure, Gu Zhilin replied without hesitation: "Okay, then I'll wait for you the day after tomorrow."
Then, somewhat ambiguously, he sent a message saying, "I'm just playing games with you, not trying to be your partner. Understand?"
