Chapter 78 Quarrel and Update

quarrel

When Chi Dong returned to the dormitory, he was surprised to find that the other three were all there. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing two cute little fangs, and he walked in with light steps.

"I'm back, look, this is the gift I brought you." Chi Dong was careless and did not notice the depressing atmosphere in the dormitory at first. After he finished speaking, only Lin Jie responded to him in time.

Zhou Yize and Cheng Mo, one of them was lying on the bed with his back to them, not saying a word; the other was sitting on a chair with a blank expression, and just nodded slightly when he saw him come back.

This situation made Chi Dong completely confused. He had no idea what was going on between the two. At this time, Lin Jie came over quietly, took the bag from his hand, put it on the table, then pursed his lips and signaled him with his eyes to go to the balcony.

The two of them went to the balcony and closed the door.

Chi Dong scratched his head in confusion and looked at Lin Jie with a puzzled look: "Boss, what happened to the second and third brothers? Weren't they fine some time ago? Did they quarrel again?"

Lin Jie shrugged his shoulders, sighed, and leaned on the railing helplessly: "Well, this is a long story."

Chi Dong was still very curious: "Then let's make it short!"

"The night you went home, the two of them went back to the dormitory. I happened to be awake yet, and I saw them coming back one after the other. One second I was happy thinking that I was finally not alone in the room, but the next second they walked in, and I was horrified to see that one of them had a bruised face and the other had a black face the whole time, as if they had had a fierce fight outside."

Black nose and swollen face? No wonder when he came back just now and saw Cheng Mo sitting on the chair, under the glaring incandescent light, there were faint bruises on that handsome face. At first, Chi Dong thought he was seeing things, but it turned out to be real bruises.

"Why? Last time, although they didn't talk to each other, there was no fighting. Now they are in a dilemma. It seems that there is no way to make things so awkward. Boss, should we go and persuade them?"

Chi Dong frowned, and the weird scene of Zhou Yize and Cheng Mo chasing each other emerged in his mind. If he didn't know that Cheng Mo was a straight man, and had a girlfriend in school and had been in countless relationships, he would have thought that Cheng Mo was pursuing Zhou Yize.

On the contrary, Chi Dong was a little unsure about Zhou Yize. When they first met, he vaguely felt that Zhou Yize was the same kind of person as him, but after getting to know each other for a long time, he began to be unsure. After all, in real life, he had not seen many people of the same kind as him, so it was normal that he could not tell them apart.

"Oh, don't mention it. When I saw that they were not doing well, I tried to persuade them several times, but it was all in vain. They still looked like they were not going to talk to each other anymore. I guess it's going to be difficult to deal with them!" Lin Jie lowered his voice and turned his head to look at the balcony door they had closed while speaking, fearing that someone would suddenly open the door and hear what they said.

After hearing his words, Chi Dong fell silent, not knowing what to say.

Lin Jie stood up straight and stretched his back. Seeing that he looked overthinking, he laughed heartily, patted his shoulder and consoled him: "But don't worry. Tomorrow we will talk to each of them separately and see if there is any way out of this situation."

Chi Dong sighed and said, "It can only be like this."

"Oh, by the way, you said you brought us some delicious food. I'm a little hungry now, so I'll go try it now." Lin Jie suddenly remembered the two big bags that Chi Dong brought back. He touched his belly unconsciously and his mouth couldn't help but feel greedy.

Seeing him drooling like an idiot, Chi Dong was stunned for a moment. No wonder he always heard the faint sound of his stomach growling. It turned out that it was made by Lin Jie who was beside him.

"I brought salty duck." Chi Dong said as he opened the door and walked into the house. "Last time you all said it was delicious, crispy and tasty, so this time I specially queued up for a long time and bought a few kilograms. I thought you would be very happy to see it, but I didn't expect..."

He was about to say something, so he stopped and looked around the room carefully. He found that Cheng Mo was no longer in the dormitory. He then looked at his bed and saw no one there either. He guessed that he had gone out.

Lin Jie continued, "Oh, I know what you want to say. You didn't expect Xiaoze and A-Mo to still be in a cold war, right?"

Chi Dong nodded and sat back down at the table. Lin Jie, who was following behind him, couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yize, who was lying on the bed opposite, still motionless. He always felt that he was pretending to sleep and avoiding Cheng Mo.

Lin Jie then moved a stool and sat down next to Chi Dong. He happily opened the fragrant bag and the aroma instantly hit him. He couldn't wait to pick one up and take a bite. It tasted crispy and fragrant.

"Oh my god, this is the taste. It's delicious. I love it. Thank you Xiaodong for buying it for us."

Chi Dong smiled shyly: "Don't be so polite, if you like it, eat more."

The whole dormitory was filled with a spicy smell. Chi Dong saw that he couldn't stop eating and the sound of his chewing became louder and louder. He hurriedly looked at Zhou Yize who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and saw that he didn't react, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

But I always felt something was wrong. Chi Dong held his chin and thought carefully: Third Brother used to be a light sleeper. Why was he sleeping so deeply today? Even the eldest brother eating so loudly did not wake him up. This is too strange!

Forget it, don't think about it anymore. Chi Dong leaned back and looked at the corridor outside the window. When he saw the strands of rain floating in the wind outside the corridor, the beautiful eyes under the glasses frame revealed a hint of surprise.

Winter is over.

I realized late in the winter that the heating in the dormitory had stopped supplying power at some point. The spring rain was drizzling, blowing on my face, and there was a hint of coolness in the air.

He was a little confused. This time when he returned home, his mother's illness and the subsequent medical expenses piled up on him, making him regret that he had resolutely rejected the job recommended by Professor Jiang.

But the regret only lasted for a moment. Since he had refused, it meant that he was not interested in this. Just as he was in a daze, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Chi Dong opened it a little late and saw that it was a message from Shi Bu Sha Yi Ren, asking him if he had returned to school safely.

Only then did he remember that he had looked for him before returning to school and asked him what time he would be back. Coincidentally, he was busy packing his things at that time, and he also had to deal with his mother secretly stuffing things into his backpack from time to time, so he didn't think much about it and told him the time directly.

After knowing the time when Chi Dong would return, Bu Qianli asked him to send a message to let him know when he returned. However, he was busy talking to the boss when he returned and forgot to reply.

Lin Jie, who was eating heartily on the side, licked his fingers out of habit after finishing the large piece of duck skeleton in his hand. He looked at the remaining half of the salted duck in the bag with some reluctance, and secretly thought in his heart that he must go to Chi Dong's house to eat enough next time.

She stood up with a little satisfaction and wanted to go to the bathroom to wash her hands, but when she looked up, she saw Chi Dong staring at his phone, wondering what he was thinking about.

Lin Jie wanted to go up and pat him on the shoulder, but when he reached out his hand, he found that his hands were covered in oil stains. He quickly gave up the idea and ran to the bathroom to wash his hands in shame.

When he came back, Chi Dong had already figured out how to respond to Bu Qianli. He was halfway through typing when Lin Jie took advantage of his full attention on the phone and sneaked up behind him, wanting to see what he was doing.

When he saw the contents on the screen clearly, Lin Jie couldn't help but widen his eyes and whispered, "Xiaodong, who is this Shibu? Could it be..."

Chi Dong was startled by his sudden voice, his hands shook, and he accidentally pressed the shortcut key on the keyboard. He sent the message directly without even finishing typing.

[Hibernation]: I'm back. What were you busy with just now, my beautiful friend? ?

He was so scared that he quickly withdrew the message. He thought Bu Qianli didn't see it. In fact, during the time when he was typing, Bu Qianli happened to be waiting for his message, so she saw the incomplete message he sent.

[Ten Steps]: Dongdong?

Bu Qianli raised his eyebrows, chuckled and shook his head, his slender fingers pressed the keyboard to make a questioning expression. He could guess without even thinking about it, how embarrassed the other person's expression was after he withdrew.

Bu Qianli guessed correctly. Chi Dong's face was flushed, but he had to stay calm and endure the shame in his heart to re-edit the wrong message he had just sent. He read it carefully twice and sent it again only after it was correct.

Without waiting for Bu Qianli to reply, Chi Dong immediately put away his phone, looking calm and composed, and responded to Lin Jie's question just now: "What's wrong, Boss?"

Lin Jie looked at him suspiciously, pondered for a while, and finally said to him in a firm tone, "If I'm not mistaken, he kills one person every ten steps."

Chi Dong was slightly startled, and after a moment's hesitation, he slowly spoke: "Yes, it's him."

"No, I remember you didn't have Penguin. When did you apply for it?" After hearing his words, Lin Jie became even more confused. They had lived in the same dormitory for three years, so how come they had never heard of Chidong having Penguin?

Chi Dong first glanced at Zhou Yize who was still sleeping soundly, and seeing that he was motionless, he briefly explained the whole story in a low voice.

"So that's how it is." Lin Jie nodded in understanding, then took out his phone, logged into his Penguin account, and lowered his voice, "I want to add you as a friend, too. Tell me your Penguin account."

"968058xxx"

"OK, I've applied, and I'm just waiting for your approval." Lin Jie stretched his body and turned his head to see the rain pouring in from the window. He screamed in surprise, "Oh my god, why is it raining so hard? My newly hung sheets are ruined."

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed downstairs like a fool. Before Chi Dong could say anything, he heard some movement on the bed. He looked up and saw Zhou Yize coming down from the bed ladder.

"Third brother, I'm sorry for waking you up." Chi Dong lowered his head with a guilty look on his face, guessing that they must have talked too loudly and woke him up.

Zhou Yize shook his head, indicating that he didn't care. "It's okay. I came back early and have slept for a long time. I can't sleep any more. By the way, is your family okay these days?"

"Yeah, all good." Chi Dong nodded with a smile. He always reported good news but not sorrow. Moreover, now was not the time to ask outsiders for help. He would not ask them for help unless he was at his wit's end.

"...That's good." Zhou Yize carefully observed his expression and felt relieved to see that he looked normal and nothing unusual. At this moment, he smelled a familiar aroma and walked a few steps to the table. He opened the bag, took out a piece and smelled it. "Is this... salty duck? Mm, it's delicious."

"Yes, you said these salty ducks were delicious last time, so when I went back this time I happened to pass by that store and bought some back." Chi Dong smiled and was about to say something else when Lin Jie pushed the door open and walked in from outside, holding two quilts in his hands and complaining as he walked.

"What a horrible weather! Why did it suddenly start to rain? The sheets are soaked through today."

Chi Dong saw him carrying two quilts and stuffing them into the closet, so he quickly reminded him, "Boss, your quilts are damp, don't put them in the closet, they will stink, hang them on the balcony, there's plenty of space there."

"That makes sense. I'll spread it out and hang it up now." Lin Jie almost forgot about the balcony. He quickly moved the quilts out and took out all the hangers. Then he hung the two quilts on the chain at the top.

After doing all this, he clapped his hands in satisfaction, "Finally, I won't get wet anymore." Then he remembered that it was Chidong who reminded him, and he hurriedly said, "Thanks to Xiaodong for reminding me. Otherwise, if it stinks, I will have to wash it three more times."

Lin Jie came back from the balcony and saw Zhou Yize sitting there, leisurely eating the bag of salty duck. He immediately looked at him in surprise, "How come you woke up so soon?"

Zhou Yize continued to eat calmly, "I woke up naturally after getting enough sleep, and I woke up before you came back to collect the quilt. How could you not notice me standing here like this?"

"Oh, I didn't notice it." Lin Jie smiled and changed the subject.

Chi Dong saw that they were chatting and joking as usual, and finally looked at Zhou Yize carefully again, and found that although his face was a little paler, his expression was still the same as before, and there was no difference because of Cheng Mo's matter. Chi Dong then breathed a sigh of relief and put his heart back to its place.

At this moment, his phone vibrated several times again. He looked down and saw that it was still a message from Shibusha Renren. He then remembered that he had stopped replying when they were chatting just now. He guessed that the other party had waited for a long time without seeing a reply from him and thought that he was busy with something urgent, so he sent a few messages to let him have time to go online.

After Chi Dong read the news, he felt ashamed. If someone had carefully observed him, they would have seen that the tip of his ear had turned red.

He hurriedly replied and explained a few words, but after waiting for several minutes, he still didn't get a response from the other party. Chi Dong looked at the message board in silence, thinking secretly: Is Shi Bu angry? Or is he busy and didn't see his message?

He sat on the chair and waited for a long time but Bu Qianli didn't reply, so he decided to go online and play the game. He pressed the power button and opened the "Hero" client. He was surprised to find that the game would need to be updated with 8G. This was too big.

In the past, the weekly updates were mostly of a scale of tens to hundreds of megabytes. Of course, there would be one or two gigabytes of updates occasionally, but such cases were rare.

Not to mention an update of eight gigabytes like today's. I guess this would only happen with a major anniversary update. However, it's been less than four months since the last five-year anniversary update. Could it be because of the dungeon they played last time?

Chi Dong glanced at the slow download speed above the screen. The progress of this turtle-like download was stretched out little by little. In the end, he couldn't help but grumble a few words in a low voice, "My junior year is almost over, why hasn't the speed of the campus network changed? It's ridiculously slow. No wonder I can always hear people in the next-door dormitory complaining about the speed."

Complaints are fine, but they have to build a network. If they don't build a campus network, there will be no network, and without a network they can't do anything, so in the final analysis, these people have directly monopolized this industry, which is really abominable!

While waiting, Chi Dong took out his major textbook from the bookshelf and read. It was almost time for the final exam. Their school always had early holidays, and most of the courses in their major had stopped at the end of May, so it was almost time to go to the library to review.

He has final assignments for several elective courses, and although the professor has assigned them in class, he has not yet found time to do them.

Chidong carefully recalled the progress of the homework for those courses, and thought to himself that he had to finish the rest this month.

Just when he was engrossed in reading, a "ding" notification sounded. He looked up and saw that the game had been downloaded and he could enter the game.

Chi Dong looked at the time. It was only 3pm and it was a weekday. There shouldn't be many people online, right?

He was thinking this in his mind, and when the game interface opened, he suddenly remembered that there were so many contents in this update, and there must be a strategy video on the official website. So he paused pressing the mouse, stopped entering the password, and switched to the official website to browse it first.

This update contains a lot of content, covering every section. What attracts Chidong the most is the new profession "Fu Ji", which has handsome men and beautiful women, and can change body shape and gender at will. It's really cool!

In addition, several new maps such as Youluo Realm, Hongyu City, and Floating Island also attracted his attention. There were also some other miscellaneous contents, such as the adjustment of gold coin exchange ratio, new pets, new copies, new equipment, new fashions, new wild bosses, etc., which made Chi Dong dazzled and dizzy.

The content on the first page had nothing to do with a Buddhist player like him. After a quick glance, he found that it was all updates related to competitive pvp. However, the last column of this page gave an advance notice that the annual martial arts conference would be held in three months, and the top ten players would receive generous cash gift packages and rewards.

However, these had nothing to do with him, so Chi Dong skipped over them without paying much attention and turned directly to the second page. The content of this page was closely related to him and was the page he cared about the most.

Chi Dong read line by line with concentrated eyes. This page had more content than the previous one. Leaving aside the parts about fashion, face shaping, and equipment, Chi Dong's heart moved slightly after seeing that the game had added several new types of pets and mounts as well as their prices.

Wow, this price is actually... not expensive!

The money in his vault, apart from the money he had to pay back Bu Qianli, was enough to buy a pet.

As for the mount, he didn't think about it anymore. No matter how cheap it was, he couldn't afford it. Chi Dong looked at the astonishing numbers and sighed again. With the money for the mount, he could buy a top-of-the-line electric bike in real life.

After reading the part about pets and mounts, he was tired of reading the densely packed fonts, so he slid his mouse directly to the part he wanted to know most - the Easter egg mission.

"Heroes" will update a large number of Easter egg missions as soon as a new map is opened, but if you want to accept the mission, you have to find the corresponding NPC. Due to the high intelligence of the game, the positions of most NPCs are not fixed.

NPCs that appear at this time today may appear somewhere else tomorrow, and players need to take the initiative to find them.

However, it is not difficult to find them. Just spend some time chatting with the NPCs one by one. If you are lucky, the NPC will tell the player that there is a thief in the house of so-and-so (NPC).

Some Easter egg missions are simple, some are complex, players can choose to accept them by themselves, and players who cannot complete them after accepting them can choose to give up. Once you choose to give up, you will never be able to receive any Easter egg missions related to this NPC again.

Chi Dong quickly glanced at the contents at the end. There were too many things to read. It would take at least half an hour to finish reading them all. He closed the page, returned to the login interface, and logged in.

At this moment, he did not notice that the mobile phone he placed on the table suddenly vibrated and the screen lit up, but its owner ignored it and it went out after a while.

Maybe his computer was too slow, or maybe there were too many updates this time. As soon as he logged in, his character was stuck in the same place, and he couldn't move no matter how he pressed the buttons. Fortunately, Bu Qianli finished his daily tasks for him yesterday and logged off in the new map Hongyu City, which is a non-combat area. If he was in a combat area, he might have been killed by someone and had to return to the resurrection point.

[Gang] silently passed by: Yeah? I think I saw Dongdong in Hongyu City.

[Gang] Man on Man: Hey, hey, hey, Juhua and I are also in Hongyu City, where is Dongdong?

[Gang] Juhuashuangfang's butt hurts: Me, me, me! Raise your hand, tell me the coordinates, I want to go find her and team up with her to play.

[Gang] passed by silently: Hongyu City (1369, 1244), oh my god, someone is approaching Dongdong.

[Gang] My butt hurts after having my chrysanthemums put on: ??? [Shock.jpg]
