A large amount of memories flooded towards Zeus like a tide. He was obviously just preparing to modify Zhou Zhou's idea, but he accidentally received another part of Zhou Zhou's memory.
It only took a moment to passively accept the memory, but Zeus stood by Zhou Zhou's bed in a daze for a long time.
"How could this be?" Zeus murmured, looking at Zhou Zhou's peaceful sleeping face, he suddenly disappeared on the spot as if running away.
Even after a few days, there was no sign of Zeus. Zhou Zhou had been modifying the copy these days, and he felt a little uncomfortable without Zeus sticking around.
"He should be fine. All programs are functioning normally. He may have suddenly become interested in something and went to research it. This has happened before."
"But he always told me before, but this time he disappeared without saying anything. Could it be..." Zhou Zhou lowered his head and thought, "Has the rebellious period finally arrived?"
Elvia: "...He has been rebelling every day since I've known him."
Zhou Zhou recalled the way the two of them usually bickered, and it seemed to be true.
Elvia was used to it. After all, Zeus didn't stick to Zhou Zhou. In the game world, there were only the two of them in Zhou Zhou's home.
It's really nice to live like this without the noise of other people.
Elvia sat in the living room, feeling the long-lost peace. She could see the people she wanted to see just by looking up. It was really comfortable.
If only it could stay like this forever...
As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, a knock on the door broke the rare peace.
Alvia: “…”
"Coming." Zhou Zhou ran to open the door very actively.
"Zhou Zhou!"
There were two people standing outside. They had dark skin and a row of large white teeth that stood out when they grinned. Zhou Zhou was stunned for a moment before he asked in disbelief, "Qian Le? Eddie?"
"Hi, it's us. It's been a while since we last saw you buying a house in the game."
"We sent you a message but you didn't reply. We got your address from Shirley, so we came directly here."
Zhou Zhou was very surprised, but also very confused: "Why did you become so dark?"
Originally, both of them could be considered young and handsome, but now their facial features have become completely black and they no longer look handsome. If they came to look for Zhou Zhou at night, they probably wouldn't even be able to see him.
The two of them smiled bitterly and looked at each other, seeming to have a tacit understanding.
"We said we were going to train before, and we had this kind of training in previous years, so we were used to it. But this year, not only was the training time extended, but the intensity was also very high, and we managed to get through it with great difficulty."
It's a tear of bitterness when it comes to talking about it.
It seems that the training is indeed very hard. It has made the two young men who originally looked a little childish become mature. Originally, their physiques looked not much different from Zhou Zhou, but now they are much stronger than Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou was a little envious. Although he could ask Zeus to transform him into any animal, or change his height and weight at will, his essence would not change. This means that his original data will always remain the same.
Modifying the data can make you stronger than them, and it is also possible to become like Heya, but Qian Le and Eddie have been trained solidly, which is a completely different concept from casually modifying the data.
But he will be able to do it after he becomes a human. There is plenty of room for improvement in both his height and weight.
I don’t know what the training is like in school.
Zhou Zhou was still imagining his life at school when a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Why are you standing at the door all the time? Aren't you going to invite them in to sit down?"
Elvia stood behind Zhou Zhou with her hands on his shoulders. The seemingly casual action revealed an indescribable intimacy.
"You, why are you here?" Qian Le was very surprised. The pair of black and white eyes on his dark face widened, and the shocked expression became more and more obvious.
"You two aren't going to be together!" Eddie guessed it immediately. After all, he was the first one to notice that Al was interested in Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou admitted very readily: "We are indeed together."
Qian Le's eyes widened even more, and he looked at Zhou Zhou as if the lamb he had worked so hard to protect had been stolen by a wolf, and then skinned and bled to make lamb skewers.
Then the little lamb skewer took the initiative to deliver itself to the wolf's mouth!
Eddie felt very sorry. He originally thought that Zhou Zhou was a good partner in every aspect, but now it seems hopeless. And this guy is asserting his sovereignty?
Seeing that the other party looked like the male host, he naturally led them into Zhou Zhou's house and asked them what they wanted to eat.
...It really makes me want to bite him.
Qian Le glared at Elvia again and again, and was finally noticed by Zhou Zhou who glared at him. He muttered angrily, "I told you that we would come here, but why didn't Shirley and the others want to come? They only left us the address. It turns out they were afraid to disturb you."
Zhou Zhou: ...I guess this is not the reason why Shirley and the others don’t want to come.
Eddie quickly accepted this: "Zhou Zhou, do you have time recently? Let's go on the mission together."
Elvia guessed that these two people probably came directly to Zhou Zhou after returning from training, and they didn't know that Zhou Zhou no longer needed to complete the mission.
"Zhou Zhou is already an intermediate player and doesn't need to do any more quests."
"Intermediate player? Zhou Zhou, are you already an intermediate player?" Qian Le was very surprised.
Eddie opened the forum and prepared to look for information about intermediate players, but he didn't even need to look, as there were many posts related to Zhou Zhou on the homepage.
After Eddie looked at a few of them, the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Zhou also changed. Is the big devil mentioned here really the same person as the Zhou Zhou he knows?
There is a world of difference.
Qian Le discovered the blind spot. He looked at Alvia and said, "You have been doing missions with Zhou Zhou for such a long time. Aren't you still an intermediate player? No way."
Eddie: If Qian Le got beaten, it was his own fault.
Zhou Zhou also felt that Qian Le's tone was strange, but his trust in his friend prevented him from thinking too much about it. He just subconsciously wanted to say a few words to defend Elvia.
Alvia spoke before Zhou Zhou opened his mouth: "Sorry, I am also an intermediate player."
Zhou Zhou was surprised: "You are also an intermediate player? When?"
"It's been a while, but I've been too busy lately to design a copy."
"Wow, then we can design copies together in the future."
"good."
Qian Le didn't expect that he would end up making things worse, but he was still complaining, but when he saw Zhou Zhou defending Eldo verbally, he naturally died down.
"So that means you won't do missions with us anymore?" Qian Le was a little disappointed, but when he thought about it, he felt that Zhou Zhou was no longer needed. The copies he designed were safe and points came quickly, so there was no need for him to work so hard on missions anymore.
"No, I've always wanted to do quests with everyone. Although designing dungeons is very fulfilling, I'm happiest when I do quests with everyone."
Alvia didn't say anything. Although he just wanted to stay with Zhou Zhou, he still hoped that Zhou Zhou could do what he liked according to his own wishes. Since he liked crowded places, there was nothing he could do about it.
Qian Le was happy: "Then when are you free? Let's do the task together. We have two days off, so we can do it anytime."
Zhou Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow is the weekend, and Shirley and Keli are also on holiday. How about we go and do the dungeon together?"
I made an appointment with Qian Le Eddie for tomorrow night, because Alvia also has to work tomorrow and only has time in the evening.
After sending messages to Shirley and Keli, Zhou Zhou originally wanted to ask whether Heya would come, but was stopped by Elvia.
"If you call him, he will definitely come, but he will suffer if he comes, so forget it."
Zhou Zhou originally just wanted everyone to be happy together, but then he thought that Heya was afraid of ghosts and would definitely feel uncomfortable when he came, so he just let it go and called him next time when he went to play mecha games or fighting games.
The time for making the copy was agreed upon, and Zhou Zhou was very happy. He hummed a song he heard from somewhere and designed his own new copy.
It feels like it's been a long time since I did a dungeon with you all.
The next night, everyone gathered.
Zhou Zhou and Alvia arrived at the agreed place first, and Qian Le and Eddie soon followed. The two of them met by coincidence in the training wilderness, and they had spent a difficult time in training together, and they seemed to have a good relationship.
Shirley and Keli were the last to arrive.
After all six people arrived, Zhou Zhou formed a team and selected the copy. There was a blank star on the selection interface, which would turn into a black star with a click. The black star represents that it is played by real people and is more difficult.
Zhou Zhou asked his teammates for their opinions before making a choice.
Except for Elvia, everyone unanimously decided to choose a simpler copy. Does it matter to them whether it is simple or not? It seems like they are all the ones being abused.
Following everyone's advice, Zhou Zhou started matching the copy directly.
Following the map provided by the matching copy, several people took various means of transportation, but they ended up going further and further away.
"Do we have to do the dungeon in this deep forest? Could we have taken the wrong path?" Shirley looked around. They had been walking in the deep forest for a long time, but had not yet reached the mission location.
"That's right, we'll be there soon." Zhou Zhou said, looking ahead as he compared the instructions on the map.
Ten minutes later, everyone stepped out of the woods and saw a group of people waving at them from afar.
"Who is that? Do you know him?" Eddie raised his hand and looked, and felt that the person in the distance seemed very excited. He was jumping and waving vigorously, afraid that they couldn't see him.
"NPC, probably related to our dungeon mission." Keli guessed.
As the few people approached, the other party immediately came to meet them. They were wearing coarse linen clothes, and the exposed skin was very rough, as if it had been weathered for a long time.
Moreover, their hairstyles and clothing styles looked very simple and ancient. Zhou Zhou could tell at a glance that these people were dressed like ancient people.
When the villagers saw them, they looked eager: "The masters are finally here, our village is finally saved."
Qian Le was confused: "Master? What master?"
The villagers seemed not to hear Qian Le's question, and they gathered together and walked forward.
"That's great. You are the savior of our village."
"With the Master here, we will definitely be able to eliminate those filthy creatures and give us peace."
Alvia heard the key words: "What dirty things?"
A gray-haired old man looked at the mountain not far away and recalled: "This story started a month ago..."
It turns out that their village has been repairing the temple on the back mountain for generations, and they often go up the mountain to pray. If there is anything happening in the village, they will invite monks from the temple to perform rituals, and most of those monks are born villagers.
A month ago, they discovered that all the monks living in the temple had disappeared.
It was originally thought that the monks had left for some reason, but they disappeared for several days and some people even saw strange black shadows in the temple at night.
"We originally thought that the temple might have been robbed and the thieves killed everyone, but the bodies were nowhere to be found and the money from the temple was not touched. There must be something unclean in the temple, so we spent a lot of money to invite a master from outside the village to come back and eliminate those dirty things."
The old man shed tears as he narrated the whole story clearly.
After listening to the old man's words, Zhou Zhou asked, "What did the black shadow look like? Where was it found? Is there a map of the temple?"
The old man did not answer any of the series of questions, but just held Zhou Zhou's hand and told him to destroy the ghosts.
Alvia separated the old man who was holding Zhou Zhou and said, "It seems that our mission has been determined."
At this time, they came to the foot of the mountain. The mountain was not very high and they could directly see the temple on the top of the mountain and the tall tower behind it. When the breeze blew, they could also hear bursts of pleasant bells coming from the temple.
"There is a temple above, masters must be careful." The villagers warned earnestly.
Shirley noticed that the six of them were standing together, while the villagers were standing far behind: "Well, aren't you going up? At least get a guide."
The villagers waved to them and said, "Master, take care."
Shirley: ...So we're the only ones going up there, and they're just here to talk about the early plot?
Keli looked at him with amusement: "He is just an NPC. It is good enough for him to tell you the content of the mission and the outline of the prospects."
Shirley: "I just saw their eyes full of tears, and they looked so worried and sad for us, but in fact, you can see how fast they ran, and you can't see them anymore."
It was as if someone was chasing them from behind. The villagers waved at them, and then the waves went farther and farther away, as if there was an automatic conveyor belt under their feet. The scene did look a bit funny.
"Okay, let's go up. That should be the location of our mission this time." Eddie looked at the temple on the mountain, eager to try.
Six people stepped onto the stairs. From the first step to the last step, Zhou Zhou counted silently in his mind. There were a total of one hundred steps.
As they stepped onto the last step, the task panel began to buzz.
[Instance Name: Ancient Temple Shadow]
【Mission content: Eliminate all ghosts in the temple.】 】
Shirley's face fell: "There really is a ghost in there."
The author has something to say:
