Chapter 33
There was a hint of provocation in Yu Lanlan's voice, which immediately aroused Xiaosheng's competitive spirit.
"What game?"
Yu Lanlan smiled and handed the stack of drawing paper that Xiaosheng's father had noticed a long time ago to the other party.
Xiaosheng's father showed a somewhat surprised expression, but thinking that this anchor seemed different from the others, and the so-called game might be a way of treatment, he resisted the urge to interrupt them.
Xiaosheng had been curious for a long time, so he took the drawing papers given by Yu Lanlan.
When he saw the first piece of drawing paper, his eyes widened in surprise.
"This is?!……"
"This is the character I designed for this game. This is the opponent you will need to defeat next."
Presented on the drawing paper were ink paintings of "game characters." Clearly in black and white, they looked very simple, not even the faces of the "characters" being drawn. Only the figures and the weapons held by the opponents were outlined, yet an inexplicable sense of majestic momentum emanated from them.
Xiaosheng, who loves games, was immediately drawn in. "How do I play this? Can I have my own character?"
"No, you have to defeat them yourself."
Xiaosheng was very confused.
"Next, I'll build a virtual game world for you. You can use the skills you've learned from all the games to fight against these opponents. You can choose any opponent and use any skills you want. As long as you can defeat one of them, you'll complete the level."
"You underestimate me!" Xiaosheng was very unconvinced, "I can beat all my opponents!!"
Yu Lanlan raised her eyebrows and smiled meaningfully. "Come on, then."
"Come on!" Xiaosheng showed a bright look.
Xiaosheng's father was completely confused and could only look back and forth between the two of them with a confused look.
Finally, Yu Lanlan invited him to the edge and told him not to get close. Then she sat at the table, facing Xiaosheng.
She took back the drawing paper she had shown Xiaosheng and placed it in the eight directions in a regular pattern. Then she took a brush and paper from the side, casually drew a Tai Chi diagram, and placed it in the center of the table.
The audience had no idea what she was keeping in suspense, but they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw her draw a completely centrally symmetrical Tai Chi diagram with just a few strokes.
[I bet this Tai Chi diagram is exactly the same as the printed one]
When the host handed Xiaosheng the painting just now, I took a screenshot. It was truly amazing, something I've never seen in other games. Could it be something the host created himself?!
Those who are a little more knowledgeable know that not only are these paintings good enough to reach the first-level level, they even guessed that the positions of the things Yu Lanlan placed on the table should have been inspired by Qi Men Dun Jia.
After all the preparations were completed, Yu Lanlan finally took out the three copper coins she often used.
She stretched her hand holding the three copper coins above the table and motioned Xiaosheng to take a look.
Then.
"Close your eyes and cheer yourself up."
Xiaosheng didn't understand what Yu Lanlan wanted to do, but for the sake of the "game" she mentioned, he did as she said.
Xiaosheng's father, who was sitting at the very edge, looked puzzled.
However, when Xiaosheng closed his eyes, Yu Lanlan threw the three copper coins in her hand onto the formation on the table, and an inexplicable momentum suddenly shook the area.
Xiaosheng's father clearly didn't see anything, but he always felt that something around him had changed!
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Xiaosheng, who closed his eyes, saw a scene that he would never forget in his life!
The moment he heard the sound of the copper coin being thrown onto the table, he inexplicably appeared in a void of white space, even though his eyes were closed and everything in front of him was pitch black.
This legendary holographic 'technology' almost made Xiaosheng drop his jaw in shock!
“I’ll go!”
He didn't know that in real life, he was also so shocked that his mouth opened, making the audience in the live broadcast room sensitively aware that he must have seen something.
Yu Lanlan looked at Xiaosheng with a smile, and then closed her eyes as if she was in a trance.
Then, Xiaosheng discovered that his surroundings suddenly changed, like some summoning game, one "character" after another fell from the sky and surrounded him on all sides.
Upon closer inspection, these "characters" are exactly the same as those on Yu Lanlan's drawing paper, and are lifelike!
Xiaosheng was almost a little creepy!
He had only seen such scenes in his dreams when he was addicted to playing games, but everything before him was far more real than a dream, as if it were real!
"You can familiarize yourself with your skills now, or maybe directly choose a character to challenge." Yu Lanlan's voice came.
"Skills?" Xiaosheng was a little confused. He looked down and found his own body! !
Didn’t he just listen to the host and close his eyes?!
This is too unscientific!!
However, Xiaosheng quickly turned his attention to the so-called skills. The streamer had previously said that he could use the skills of all the games he had played to fight.
He has played many kinds of games, but the ones he plays most are the most popular hero battle online games and first-person shooter games.
Thinking of this, he began to dig deep into his mind for those skills.
As an avid game fan, he knows almost every skill he has, including the damage they can inflict and their cooldown time.
"Let me familiarize myself with my skills first."
After Xiaosheng finished speaking, he controlled his "body" and applied the skills he was familiar with.
Unexpectedly, his 'body' could actually be controlled just like a character in a game, and the skills he used seemed to be real!
Xiaosheng was instantly excited and used all the skills he could think of. He was suddenly full of confidence and looked at the eight "opponents" around him.
After looking around, he locked his sights on one of his opponents who was obviously a swordsman.
"I'll choose him first."
"As you wish." Yu Lanlan's voice came.
As soon as he finished speaking, the other seven "characters" suddenly disappeared, leaving only the swordsman and Xiaosheng standing face to face in the empty space.
Seeing the swordsman opposite him coming alive, pulling out the big sword in front of him and leaving a clear blade wind, Xiaosheng's blood instantly boiled.
He also understood how to play this 'game', so he immediately conjured up his weapon, leaped up, and attacked the swordsman.
He used the game skills of a certain favorite hero, which could be used for both offense and defense. His hit rate in the game was extremely high. Compared with other people who also used this hero, he dealt more damage and triggered his passive more frequently.
But he didn't expect that the swordsman seemed to have predicted his prediction. He jumped lightly and dodged all his skills.
Xiaosheng was obviously dissatisfied, and then jumped over to use other skills.
Soon, he discovered that this game was different from other games. There was no need for an energy bar and all skills could be used instantly.
Realizing this, Xiaosheng became even more excited and launched a series of combos at the swordsman.
But then, his passion turned into depression, because the swordsman easily dodged all his attacks!
Unconvinced, Xiao Sheng stepped forward again, but to his surprise, the swordsman finally launched his first counterattack...
-
The audience watching Yu Lanlan’s live broadcast room are really curious now.
After Yu Lanlan arranged the drawing papers and threw out the coins, she closed her eyes.
This situation looked very much like hypnosis being used on Xiaosheng, but shouldn't hypnotists usually use words to guide the hypnotized person? Why did Yu Lanlan close her eyes herself?
Although the audience cannot see Xiaosheng's perspective, they can still hear their conversation.
When Yu Lanlan said Xiaosheng could learn skills or take on challenges, Xiaosheng answered her seriously, as if he had truly seen something. It felt like their souls had reached another world, shielding them from the outside world.
Yu Lanlan's expression remained calm, even her closed eyes barely moving. In contrast, Xiaosheng's expression changed more dramatically.
The audience began to guess what Xiaosheng saw based on his expression.
Excited, thrilled, confident, passionate, aggressive, unwilling to accept defeat, determined to keep going, depressed...
Xiaosheng's expression was too real.
[Hey guys, you're not really playing games, are you?]
[It looks like the fight is still intense?]
Can hypnosis allow people to imagine playing games in their minds? Are they secretly using magic in front of us Muggles? ...
Soon, they found that Xiaosheng suddenly cried out in pain, as if he was attacked by something.
Then, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, as if he had encountered a huge challenge.
Gradually, he began to clench his teeth, sweat broke out on his face, and the occasional muffled groans represented that he was suffering from an unavoidable attack in the 'world he saw'.
Later, his cries of pain became more and more frequent...
Finally, he let out a long "hmm..." and suddenly opened his eyes, with a trace of fear of facing death still remaining in his eyes.
He was breathing rapidly, looking like he had survived a disaster.
After a while, he realized that he had lost!
Xiaosheng looked at Yu Lanlan in disbelief, "Why is an ordinary swordsman so strong?!"
"Why can't he be so strong?" Yu Lanlan asked back.
"Do you think he's cheating?"
Xiaosheng recalled every move he made in his fight with the swordsman. Based on his rich experience in playing games, the opponent was definitely within the normal range.
He shook his head.
"Then why do you think you lost?"
Xiaosheng frowned.
A few seconds passed.
"I want to challenge other characters."
Yu Lanlan's smile was full of tolerance. "Okay."
She took back the three copper coins, waited for Xiaosheng to close his eyes, and threw them out again.
This time, Xiaosheng chose another sword-wielding chivalrous woman...
-
When the audience saw Xiaosheng open his eyes and talk to Yu Lanlan, they analyzed it.
Wow, he actually played a game?! How did he play it?!?!
[Before today, I was a staunch materialist! So, can anyone tell me how the streamer let this kid play the game? ! ! !]
Some people believe it, while others are still skeptical.
Afterwards, although no one was talking in Yu Lanlan's live broadcast room, the audience still stayed to watch Xiaosheng's expression change.
The situation this time is similar to the previous round, except that the small victory no longer gives me the confidence I felt at the beginning.
Not surprisingly, Xiaosheng lost again.
“Come again!!”
…
“Come again!!”
…
The audience also noticed that Xiaosheng is very stubborn. It is precisely because of this kind of personality that once he makes up his mind about something, it is difficult to change him.
Soon, Xiaosheng challenged all eight characters created by Yu Lanlan.
He undoubtedly lost them all.
What the audience doesn’t know is that in the illusion array created by Yu Lanlan, although Xiaosheng will not suffer any real harm during the battle, he will still retain some pain.
In other words, in these eight games, when he was hit by the 'character', the pain was real.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have wanted to give up long ago, but people like Xiaosheng just become more courageous as they face more setbacks.
Finally, the eight characters finished fighting, and Xiaosheng's forehead and face were already wet with sweat.
Because he failed all eight times, he obviously felt that his strong belief in the game was crumbling.
"Do you know now why you lost?" Yu Lanlan asked again.
Xiaosheng still didn't answer.
After a while, he seemed to regain some confidence.
"I'm going to try again..."
Yu Lanlan still said tolerantly, "Okay."
Xiaosheng thought that he had not exerted his full strength, and he conceived of various combat techniques in his mind, all of which were combos that he had researched in the game and amazed others.
Unfortunately, he still lost all the next eight battles.
When he opened his eyes again, confusion finally appeared in Xiaosheng's eyes.
He once thought that, although he was not the strongest in the game, he could at least be ranked in the national server, and his talents could be best utilized in the game and reflect the greatest value.
But now, he was confused.
"Do you understand now?" Yu Lanlan asked again.
Deeply shocked, Xiaosheng shook his head.
Yu Lanlan sighed softly and cleared up his doubts.
"You're certainly very talented at gaming, but you've overlooked one thing: you can only see your current situation. There are always people better than you, and there are always better people. This industry is always full of talented people. The tide washes away the sand, but you can't be sure if you're just one of those grains of sand that gets washed away."
If it was before playing this game, Xiao Sheng would definitely refute how could he be sand? But now, the facts proved Yu Lanlan's words.
"You mean... should I give up?"
At this point, Xiaosheng began to tear up.
"No, who told you to give up?"
"I just want to say that it's good that you have talent, but you're still young and need to look to the future. Who says you don't have other talents? But if you only care about games, your other talents may be wasted. You're so smart, can't you do both?"
"Besides, who says games are only about talent? Your vision, your luck, your control of your emotions, and even everything you encounter and learn in the future may become a part of your success. If you confine yourself to a world where only games exist, you will eventually encounter a situation like today. Then, what will you do?"
Kacchan intertwined his hands and squeezed each other hard.
After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Who was the person I was fighting with just now?"
Yu Lanlan smiled. "Do you think that person will be your future self, who has experienced many things, understood people's hearts, and mastered a wealth of knowledge?"
Xiaosheng was stunned. He had never expected that this might be the answer!
The future him?! Could he be this strong?!
"Don't confine yourself to the game. Return to where you should be. Reality is not a constraint. As long as you control it, it will make you stronger..."
Yu Lanlan looked at him for a long time.
Xiaosheng felt like he finally understood the host's good intentions.
"……I see."
"Never again." Xiaosheng's eyes revealed a sudden realization. If he indulged himself, he would only end up weak! He wanted to become as strong as the 'future him' in the game just now!
Seeing this, Yu Lanlan smiled.
How could Xiaosheng's father not see his changes?
Different from Yifeng’s live broadcast room, this time he could really feel that his child’s spirit had changed!
What did anchor Yu Lanlan do to him?
With this doubt, he finally got Yu Lanlan's signal to go forward.
"Anchor, this kid?..."
Yu Lanlan looked at him, but her eyes turned serious.
"Mr. He, I also need to tell you a few words."
"You go ahead and tell me." Xiaosheng's father now has double the trust in Yu Lanlan.
"Regarding your son's horoscope, there's one thing I haven't explained before. Your son's wealth star is strong, which is unlucky. Besides money, wealth also represents wife or father. This is exactly what happens to you. It means that your desire for control is too strong, which will affect your son's fortune."
"To tell you the truth, your son's future career is related to games. He has repented now and will return to school soon. But while he fulfills his duties as a student, please put aside your prejudice against games and refrain from interfering too much in his spare time."
“You know, when you grab a handful of sand, the tighter you hold it, the faster the sand will flow away.”
"Is it right?"
Looking at Yu Lanlan's meaningful eyes, Xiaosheng's father couldn't help but nodded.
"I'm glad you understand." Yu Lanlan smiled again.
Seeing how she could make her father dare not say anything back in just a few words, Xiaosheng once again realized how powerful she was and felt an inexplicable admiration in his heart.
It was not until Yu Lanlan announced the end of this counseling session and asked Xiaosheng and his son to come back the next day that Xiaosheng suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, sister..."
Yu Lanlan looked at him.
"The game you just made me play...was it really happening?" Or was it his imagination?
Yu Lanlan didn't answer directly, but smiled and said, "Guess?"
Xiaosheng, who was looking at her, had already found the answer.
It absolutely happened!!
Xiaosheng recalled the lifelike game, and suddenly felt another kind of passion in his heart.
A game like this should appear in reality, not just be seen by him alone!!
Xiaosheng suddenly recalled the excuse Yifeng made to divert his attention. Although the other party's words were inconsistent with his heart, it was indeed possible, right?
Yu Lanlan watched Xiaosheng's facial expression change and suddenly felt relieved.
-
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yu Lanlan's treatment this time was much more successful than Yi Feng's!
Although the audience did not understand what exactly happened between her and Xiaosheng, and what the "game" they were talking about was, it did not prevent them from seeing that this extremely stubborn Xiaosheng was completely convinced by Yu Lanlan.
Although it will take time to verify whether Xiaosheng's psychological disorder will relapse, many viewers feel that this time it should be really resolved.
-
At the same time, Li Zaiming finally applied medicine and bandaged Yifeng's hand.
Li Zaiming couldn't imagine how much strength Yifeng had used to dig a bleeding wound on his palm with his fingernails.
Looking at Yifeng's dark eyes and silent expression, Li Zaiming felt a lot of psychological pressure.
It was hard to find words of persuasion.
"Ah Feng, don't take it too seriously. I don't know what's wrong with these people that Yu Lanlan has them all choose to believe her."
"A mysterious charlatan used some unknown method to cure these patients. These people are not afraid of any horrific sequelae. It's really speechless..."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Yifeng finally spoke the first sentence.
"Brother Li, I remember you have Qing'er's WeChat?"
"Ah, yes."
"Tell her about your recent events in a tactful way. Don't reveal too much, just act casual. If she asks you about it, just tell her that I told you not to."
"Do you understand?"
Li Zaiming understood his subtext immediately.
"Then I'll post something with a little more substance on my Moments?"
Yifeng smiled coldly, but his eyes were dark.
