November 10th, 23:30.

In the girls' dormitory, Lin Xianyu was lying on the bed, holding her cell phone high up, constantly swiping through the business interfaces, her expression sometimes showing gritting her teeth, sometimes showing reluctance.

Gu Yueyan, who had just come out of the shower, was not surprised by the scene. He returned to his seat and prepared to find some more information for the paper. Ren Suo assigned another paper, "On the Relationship between the Monkey King's Rampage in Heaven in Journey to the West and the Modern Monkey King's Rampage in Heaven", to Ren Neiser's research group.

She originally wanted to refuse directly, but this topic was very interesting, Ren Xingmei stood on her brother's side and said that she wanted to do it, Qin Lian did not express any opinion, and then Ren Suo said seriously when they met at the combat training ground, "Everything is up to you", "Only you can handle such a theory", "Save Ren Suo", so Gu Yueyan reluctantly took on this topic, just to accumulate qualifications for future work and earn some pocket money.

However, in order to write this article, Gu Yueyan also had to look at the information. In addition to the original Journey to the West, he also had to look at other versions, such as A Chinese Odyssey...

Humph, if I hadn’t been writing an essay for that bastard, I wouldn’t have spent time watching the movie!

So Gu Yueyan re-watched the love story of the male and female protagonists in Moonlight Treasure Box for the fourth time. At this time, the sexy Lin Xianyu turned sideways and shouted: "Class Leader"

Gu Yueyan didn't even move his body, his eyes fixed on the screen, and the line 'I like you so much, you will die if you like me a little' rang out from the speakers.

"I don't want to eat."

“I’m not asking if you want to have a midnight snack.” Lin Xianyu rolled around in her bed like a salted fish turning over: “I want to buy a lot of things on Double 11. I might have to use up all my Huabei money.”

"Oh." Gu Yueyan's voice was cold.

"I am very hesitant, monitor..."

"Don't buy it if you hesitate." Gu Yueyan gave advice.

"I'm not hesitating whether to buy or not, I'm just hesitating whether to eat dirt or northwest wind in the future. After all, the festival is bound to be celebrated, and things are bound to be bought."

Lin Xianyu asked expectantly, "So, squad leader, if I don't have money, can you..."

"No." Gu Yueyan said, "In fact, Double 11 is not a shopping festival. In the past few years, it was just an ordinary singles' day. Why are you so obsessed with this?"

"I can buy everything now, so what's the point of being single, squad leader?"

Feeling that there was no way to break through head-on, Gu Yueyan decided to take a roundabout way to protect his wallet and asked unhappily, "Why do you shop online?"

Lin Xianyu blinked: "It's convenient."

"Is that the only reason? But why do you buy things like tissues and shower gel online that can be bought at the campus supermarket?"

Lin Xianyu thought about it and said uncertainly: "Because... you want to save money?"

Gu Yueyan turned around in his computer chair, met Lin Xianyu's gaze, spread his hands, and nodded with an expression that said 'that's right'.

However, good words cannot persuade a damned ghost, and great compassion will not save others. Lin Xianyu's heart is as hard as iron, and he won't cry until he sees the coffin: "My money is not used, but it stays with me in a different way, so it doesn't matter!"

Lin Xianyu looked at the time, screamed, and quickly climbed off the bed and slipped out of the dormitory. Gu Yueyan was not surprised that she would always rush to the cafeteria during the last 15 minutes of supper time, because all the food in the cafeteria was sold at half price at this time.

Lin Xianyu always uses his remaining wisdom and perseverance in some very strange ways.

But she quickly ran back, hugged Gu Yueyan's neck, and said in a sweet voice: "Class monitor"

"What happened again?"

"After eating supper, I don't have enough wristband points to buy more things...Are you really not hungry tonight?"

Gu Yueyan wanted to refuse, but when she saw Lin Xianyu's clear and transparent big eyes, she softened her heart.

And she plans to finish watching this movie tonight, probably until 1 o'clock... It's okay to have a little midnight snack, it shouldn't affect her figure.

The most important thing is that she accidentally hurt Lin Xianyu yesterday, and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't compensate her.

"It won't happen again."

Lin Xianyu clasped his hands together and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I'll do it again next time."

After punching Lin Xianyu hard a few times, Gu Yueyan wore slippers and went to the midnight snack area on the third floor of the cafeteria.

At this time, there were not many people still eating in the cafeteria. Only a few freshman boys were left sitting in groups of three or four. Each of them seemed to have eaten a lot, and it felt like they were having a good meal and celebrating the holiday in advance.

But she glanced at the crowd, saw someone she knew, and walked over to sit down.

But Gu Yueyan didn't know what to say to start the conversation. He looked at what this guy was eating and said, "You ate so much, but you didn't eat dinner properly? Did you take good care of Xiaojiu?"

The person who showed up in the cafeteria for supper at 23:50 was Ren Suo.

Ren Suo, who was eating a skewer of grilled snail meat, saw Gu Yueyan, but he was not too surprised and replied calmly, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see?" Gu Yueyan tilted his head, a little surprised: "Didn't we just meet yesterday?"

"Ah... yes, at the combat training ground, you accidentally cut Xianyu." Ren Suo rubbed his temple and made up an excuse to get away with it: "Who said that if we haven't seen each other for one day, we can't see each other for a long time?"

Gu Yueyan opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Finally, she turned her head and snorted, feeling like she couldn't stay there any longer. For some reason, she remembered the line "I'll love you for ten thousand years" in the movie, and her cheeks felt like they were burning.

I won’t watch this kind of love movie anymore!

But she couldn't help but look at her own demeanor at this time. Because she had just finished taking a shower, she wore her pajamas with a little bear pattern directly. She didn't tie up her freshly washed hair, leaving it hanging over her shoulders, and she was also wearing slippers...

But after Ren Suo glanced at her, he continued to eat the barbecue seriously, not paying any attention to her manners. Gu Yueyan didn't know whether she was happy or unhappy.

Gu Yueyan went to buy supper without saying a word, and Ren Suo continued to leisurely eat barbecue, including a dozen beef skewers, a dozen mutton skewers, a dozen grilled snails, a dozen grilled chicken kidneys, and a plate of snails and grilled eggplant. He was only halfway through the battle now.

But Gu Yueyan soon sat back down, put the packed lunch box on the table, and asked, "Hey, what did you eat tonight?"

"Saizeriya, cod roe cream pasta, hamburger steak, and clam soup."

"Where's Xiaojiu?"

"Hamburger steak."

"Teacher Dong is in seclusion, so you don't eat at home?"

"Um."

"It would be fine if you lived alone, but you live with Xiaojiu now, so you have to cook for yourself. Or you can eat in the cafeteria. It's not good to eat out all the time and have an unbalanced and unhealthy diet."

Gu Yueyan was a little dissatisfied. If Lin Xianyu was around, she would definitely try to smooth things over and stop her from talking further. But since Lin Xianyu was not around, she returned to her previous personality, as cold as the moonlight, treating everything meticulously.

Gu Yueyan and Dong Chengling are very similar in personality, which is why Gu Yueyan admires Dong Chengling so much and is attracted to her, but they are still slightly different.

Dong Chengling has an indifferent personality. She sets extremely high standards for herself, but she won't be harsh on others. She even thinks that Ren Suo's previous laziness is nothing. She will have expectations of others, but she won't be disappointed.

Gu Yueyan is different. She also has high standards for herself, but she also hopes that everyone can treat everything with all their strength like her. The class leader who is strict with herself and others is the best interpretation of her. She has higher expectations for all her friends and is willing to support them for this.

Dong Chengling has a hard time making friends, while Gu Yueyan easily offends others. If it weren't for Lin Xianyu who has always been a lubricant in the class, perhaps Gu Yueyan would have been disliked by other students. In fact, Gu Yueyan's roommates have also broken up with them.

“I can’t cook.”

Ren Suo knew Gu Yueyan's character, so he didn't get angry. He poked the roasted eggplant with his chopsticks and muttered with a smile, "Are you coming to my house to cook?"

Gu Yueyan almost agreed without hesitation, "I can do it too," but she didn't say it out loud. Instead, she looked at Ren Suo seriously and asked, "Why, what happened?"

"Huh? Why do you ask?" Ren Suo was slightly surprised that you also have "listening headphones"?

"You don't usually come to the cafeteria to eat, and even if you do, you just take some food home." Gu Yueyan said, "And you came out without a hat or headphones. Most importantly, the words 'I'm not happy' were written on your face, and you could tell at a glance."

"Hey!?" Ren Suo scratched his face. Is my expression that obvious?

But he didn't wear a hat because he no longer needed one. What's the big deal for a man to wear a hat all day? His students might even think he was bald.

The reason he didn't wear headphones was because he was in a bad mood, so he just left them at home.

Ren Suo smiled and said, "Well...it's nothing serious, just a small matter related to the game."

"Does this little thing make you unhappy?" Gu Yueyan asked softly, his voice gentle and his expression focused, as if he really wanted to listen to Ren Suo's troubles.

Hearing this, Ren Suo couldn't help but look at Gu Yueyan in surprise. He thought Gu Yueyan would criticize him for being a good cultivator and indulging in playing games all day long. He never expected that Gu Yueyan would suddenly become gentle.

"It's not that I'm unhappy, I just feel a little annoyed... But it's just a game."

Ren Suo couldn't help but say, "I thought you were going to scold me for being addicted to games."

"I'm not that kind of person." Gu Yueyan's face darkened.

"Really? I remember Xianyu was often scolded by you?"

"That's because she often wastes time doing nothing, and she hasn't submitted a satisfactory answer sheet yet." Gu Yueyan said, "If she can happily practice and study after browsing Weibo and Moments, I naturally have no objection, but she is not like that. She just browses to have fun and then stops, and continues to be lazy."

"I can still cultivate to the third level by playing games, so my behavior can be forgiven?" Ren Suo said along Gu Yueyan's line of thought.

"Yes, everyone has different interests, but as long as you can manage your real life well, it's fine to indulge in your own world later." Gu Yueyan said: "Fame, wealth, love and career, everyone cares about different things. As long as your interests don't affect others and don't affect your normal life, you shouldn't be blamed... Then why are you unhappy?"

"I'm not unhappy... You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

"If you don't tell me, I certainly won't understand."

Today, Gu Yueyan was serious and a little gentle. Ren Suo felt troubled and scratched his face. Finally, he said, "It's just that a pretty good NPC in the game died, so I feel a little unhappy."

Gu Yueyan nodded, "Why did the NPC die? Was it because of a plot setting that you couldn't influence, or was it because you weren't strong enough as a player?"

Ren Suo hesitated for a moment: "A little bit of both."

"I seldom play games, so I can't give any advice." Gu Yueyan said: "But, I heard a saying.

"If you like something, you should work hard for it. Then, when you fail in the future, you can blame the world instead of yourself."

If you've tried your best, then blame the game's manufacturer, because you've done your best."

After saying that, Gu Yueyan checked the time, said goodbye to Ren Suo, and left quickly. Lin Xianyu must be hungry after waiting for so long.

Ren Suo let out a light breath, quickly finished his barbecue under the cold gaze of the canteen staff, and walked slowly back home on the ground illuminated by the dim street lights.

Today is Saturday. Ren Suo played with Xiao Jiu for the whole day, and Xiao Jiu went to bed early.

Ren Suo sat in front of the computer, turned on the Small World game console, and entered "Inverted World".

Read the save file.

The 512th boss battle.

The Templar Warrior Captain Justice remains.

Still the first form, second form, third form.

Still the last blow.

The little lock still died.

In the past few days, Ren Suo has repeated the boss battle hundreds of times, tried countless ways to keep Xiaosuo alive, and put forward many conjectures for this.

First, does one person have to die in the Templar Chief’s final righteous attack?

Yes, and if the maid Xiaosuo hadn’t been holding Master Mu, she wouldn’t have been able to block this attack.

Ren Suo tried to step back away from the maid Xiaosuo when she flew over, and then he saw the Templar Chief's righteous final blow went through the maid Xiaosuo and directly pierced through Master Mu, while the maid Xiaosuo was unharmed.

The mechanism of action of this move, 'Light of Death', is not 'physical contact', but 'contact with Master Mu himself'.

The "Light of Death" can only kill Master Mu, and cannot kill anyone else.

Therefore, the maid Xiaosuo only gives the illusion of 'killing light' when she embraces Master Mu through skin contact. It must pass through the maid Xiaosuo before it can reach Master Mu to take effect. And at the moment it takes effect, because the light has already sunk into the body of the maid Xiaosuo, all the power explodes on the maid Xiaosuo first.

It was like an invisible arrow that would only become visible when it stabbed Master Mu, but when it became visible, it was already inside the body of the maid Xiaosuo.

Second, can we kill the Templar Chief Justice in advance?

On the seventh day of his escape, Ren Suo tried to find the Templar Chief Justice in the 'Search Mode'.

At first he wanted to hide his strength and fight the two with the strength of a small boss, but once he fell below, he immediately burst out with stronger strength.

At this time, members of the other six major sects would also surround them. Master Mu and his maid Xiaosuo were outnumbered and it would be impossible for them to kill the Templar Warrior Chief Zhengyi in advance.

Third, can the maid Xiaosuo use some tricks to turn the tables?

When it comes to turning the tables, Ren Suo naturally thinks of "Fighting Warrior (Incomplete)" and "Clear Spring Flowing Sound".

But after the battle started, Ren Suo suddenly discovered the game settings he had forgotten. In this game, he was controlling Master Mu, not the maid Xiaosuo.

Other abilities were ok, but after equipping "Struggle Warrior (Incomplete)" and "Clear Spring Flowing Sound", the maid Xiao Suo did not activate them once.

If she doesn't take action, Ren Suo will have no way to influence the maid Xiaosuo's decision!

"The Sound of Clear Springs" is fine, but maybe the world rules are incompatible, or maybe it's some messy reason, so the maid Xiaosuo can't summon other game characters.

As for "Struggle Warrior (Incomplete)", at the beginning, Ren Suo tried his best to read the save file, trying to play a save file in which the maid Xiaosuo used a clone.

But he soon felt relieved. Even if the maid Xiaosuo summoned a clone, it would be meaningless.

Yes, it's meaningless.

Because it is a clone, it is impossible to share the original body's props.

In the last scene, when the Templar Chief Justice was on the verge of death, he saw that there was no one around Master Mu and then he emitted the "killing light".

At this time, the maid Xiaosuo had to use the "Magician's Feather of Immortality from Standing Still" and rush over at an extremely fast speed one step ahead to block the knife for Master Mu.

As for "So Close Yet So Far Away", when the Templar Chief Justice entered the second form, the maid Xiaosuo directly used the derived ability 'Flash', flashing infinitely for 10 seconds, and finally shattered the initial bombardment of the Templar Chief Justice.

"The Magician's Feather of Immortality from Standing Still" is a necessary other mobility ability and spell, none of which can rush to Master Mu instantly.

So even if he summons a clone, as long as the Templar Chief Justice finds the opportunity, the maid Xiaosuo's real body will still have to resist. After all, the Templar Chief Justice is a boss and he has to save face. It is impossible for Mr. Mu to be holding someone on his body when fighting with him.

After all the attempts, Ren Suo finally came to a conclusion that the maid Xiaosuo, this NPC, was designed to stay at the end and block the knife?

Even if you kill the Templar Chief Justice at the beginning, it will be useless because he can still emit the "Light of Death".

Ren Suo had a vague understanding: the fundamental purpose of Mr. Mu's eight-day investigation and tracing was to lure out the Templar Warrior Captain Zhengyi and create an environment for a duel.

Moreover, when Master Mu kills the Templar Warrior Chief Justice, he will also gain huge benefits.

"Successfully killed the mastermind behind the scenes and purified myself of the filth and hatred."

"Mission accomplished!"

"Mr. Mu killed the enemy of the Heavenly Demon, which brought his martial arts to complete perfection. He also seized the enemy's memory and will be able to destroy all of the enemy's arrangements in the future."

Therefore, the ultimate goal of this game is: let Master Mu kill the Templar Chief Justice with his own hands, and then find ways to avoid the Templar Chief Justice's final "killing light"!

As for how to avoid it, it is the maid Xiaosuo.

"Clear Spring Sound" cannot be used. Even if you summon game characters to beat up Templar Chief Justice, Templar Chief Justice will still shoot out the "Fatal Light".

The clone cannot be used, and the clone cannot be equipped with the "Magician's Feather of Immortality from Standing Still".

“If you want something, you should work hard for it. That way, when you fail in the future, you can blame the world instead of yourself…”

Ren Suo looked at Mr. Mu's desolate back in the game screen and thought that he had done his best.

If the maid Xiaosuo's role in this game wasn't almost the same as that of Master Mu, Ren Suo wouldn't have spent so much time and effort saving her, an NPC who died just moments before the game was over and didn't affect the game's completion.

"Xiaosuo, just... complain to the world as much as you can."

Ren Suo put aside his worries and made a final diagnosis:

The maid Xiaosuo is dead.
