Chapter 37
After returning home, Pei Muyang applied to retrieve his WeChat account because his previous phone was completely broken in the car accident, so there was no way to log in by scanning the code with the old device.
Therefore, it took some time to log in this time, and by the time he logged into WeChat, it was several hours later.
"Here I come."
"Boss, you're finally here. I thought you disappeared again."
"Well, something delayed me for a while. What do you want to talk to me about?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just..."
"Hey, boss, Junjun and I are together. We're going to be a couple in the game tonight. Nothing special, I just want to invite you to join us."
Everyone has gone through ups and downs along the way. If there is anyone who is most qualified to witness their every gaming journey, it must be the gang leader.
So "Jian Tiao Emei" sent a text message to Pei Muyang with the mentality of giving it a try, but unexpectedly, he actually got in touch with him!
"Okay, what time tonight?"
"It starts at nine."
Pei Muyang sent an "OK" emoticon, and the matter was settled.
WeChat went to the background, Pei Muyang looked at the balance on his phone and frowned in worry.
I originally thought that I would have nearly 5,000 yuan for living expenses this month, and I could still make ends meet. But all of a sudden, 5,000 yuan became 1,000 yuan, and I can't even guarantee the most basic life in this city.
The most urgent task is to earn more money as soon as possible to ensure the lives of himself and Ye Shan.
But as a proletarian with no intellectual background, where could he make quick money except for the things summarized in the Criminal Law?
Open your browser and search, "How can I make money quickly?"
Despite the system's reminder that "investment is risky, choose with caution", there are actually more than 200,000 related searches.
It seems that this matter not only troubles him, but is a common problem that puzzles thousands of lost young people like him.
Pei Muyang was relieved. With a keen and studious spirit, he clicked on a video with the most likes, and saw a man dressed like an expert talking there.
"Young people nowadays just don't know how to work hard..."
Uh-huh.
"They just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor..."
That makes sense.
"Instead of you all sighing and complaining about everything, why don't you use your car to run a Didi or rent out your unused house?"
Damn, does he need you to teach him how to own a car and a house?
Pei Muyang closed the browser page angrily, and saw a familiar icon occupying the most conspicuous position on the computer desktop.
"Dragon Roar of Nine Provinces".
That was the online game that had been with him for three years.
If there is any mark engraved in memory of the three years of youth, it must be the heroic spirit of pouring blood into the world.
People always say that if you don’t act recklessly when you are young, you will live in vain.
And those little kids who used to be wrapped in sheets, holding branches and shouting "Go!" have grown up. They gather together through online games just to fulfill their childhood dreams of wielding swords and punishing evil.
Some people say that game addiction interferes with learning, but what makes people addicted is never the game itself, but the friendship within it that is hard to give up.
But now Pei Muyang can't go back even if he is reluctant.
He opened the familiar interface and listened to the familiar background music. He felt melancholy, but a flash of inspiration passed through his mind.
Since I can't go back, it seems that this game account can be sold for some money.
The official built-in trading platform prompted that there were new products in the public announcement period. A bored player clicked on the link to take a look, and his hope of finding a bargain suddenly faltered.
As bright as the sun, a level 134 mage (male), transaction price: 4,200.00 yuan, remaining time during the public announcement period: 59 minutes.
The world immediately exploded.
"Bright as the sun", the legendary undefeated god of war "Bright as the sun", seems to be really going to quit the game.
Pei Muyang was too lazy to ask or want to know what was discussed on the world channel. Now that this troublesome person of his was finally gone, he believed that the people on the Nizhan side would be very happy.
He created a new account and logged into the game around nine o'clock. The screen was full of blessings for the wedding of "Jian Tiao Emei" and "Junjun".
Pei Muyang is gone, and "Sword to Emei" is the new leader of the Demon Palace. The leader's wedding is naturally very lively.
The words of blessing were spread all over the world for a long time. Everyone laughed and made noises, and went crazy for a long time. Finally,
Someone suddenly said, "It would be great if the gang leader was here."
The new gang leader "Jian Tiao Emei" has been there from the beginning to the end, so everyone knows who this "gang leader" is.
[World] Sword Challenges Emei: The gang leader... must actually miss everyone too.
Pei Muyang told him not to tell anyone about his participation in the wedding in the game, because he couldn't afford to lose face.
So apart from the bride and groom, no one else knows who is behind this level 10 rookie account.
Outside the screen, Pei Muyang looked at today's newlyweds with satisfaction like an old father. The two bickering lovers, after so many years of quarreling, finally fell in love.
He also heard that the two were quite close in real life, and if there was a chance, it might not be impossible for them to fall in love in person after their online romance.
Of course, this is all in the past.
Mu Yang was chatting with two people in YY, asking about what happened in the game recently.
After he left, the gang was indeed in chaos for a few days. At the beginning, the Reverse War team took advantage of his absence to provoke people everywhere, clearing out idle players, snatching the Dragon King and completing tasks, and taking revenge for all the humiliation they had suffered before.
But that was just at the beginning.
"Then Junjun and I thought about it together, thinking about how you arranged those things in the past. We even took out the forms you made and studied them carefully. It took us a long time to find our place back."
The phrase "Sword Challenges Emei" was said with great excitement, and the details were described very well. With "Junjun" adding fuel to the fire, Pei Muyang couldn't stop laughing.
"What a pity. After you left, Si Qing also left."
"Junjun" felt a little sad when she talked about it. In fact, she has always been a straightforward and carefree girl. It's just that her friends have been offline one after another. She feels really bad when she sees that their IDs are no longer lit up.
"Yeah, we all have our own lives to live. We can't hide away in games forever, carefree and like a child who never grows up."
Pei Muyang smiled bitterly. No one wants to grow up overnight, but who can foresee their own future?
He wanted to say something else when a vest suddenly broke into the YY room.
"Jian Tiao, today is your wedding day, so blood shouldn't be seen. Can we stop clearing out the idle players for a day?"
The one who came in was "Ni Tian Xing", and everyone seemed not yet accustomed to calling him the gang leader of "Jian Tiao Emei", because in everyone's mind, the default gang leader was always the one who was no longer online.
"Well, I'll take a day off today and consider it as doing good deeds."
"Nitianxing" responded with an OK, and was about to go to another room to inform people, but he found that there was another strange vest in this room.
"Hey, who's this vest? I've never seen it before."
Pei Muyang was completely disguised. Even his YY account was a newly applied account, and his ID was just a random combination of numbers. So in the eyes of others, he was just a newcomer with no trace.
So he thought for a moment, then said in a sarcastic voice, "Hello, brother. I'm Jian Tiao Emei's cousin. Nice to meet you."
"puff!!"
"Fuck!"
——You’re good at pretending, but don’t do it again next time!
It was past ten o'clock when Pei Muyang finally quit the game and YY.
He indulged himself and said an unclear farewell to the past, which was also a not-too-hasty ending to these three years of youth.
It was past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night. Pei Muyang had just finished taking a shower and was lying on the bed, getting ready to go to sleep when his cell phone suddenly rang.
He took out his cell phone from the side, unlocked it and saw that it was a text message reminder.
"Card ending in 0206 received 4,200 yuan in online banking (deposited via UnionPay) at 11:23 PM on July 4th, with a balance of 5,262.09 yuan. [Industrial and Commercial Bank of China]"
Good, this time, it’s really over.
The next morning, Pei Muyang got up very early. Today was the first day of training. In order to leave a good impression on his supervisor, he got up early to wash and pack, leaving enough time for the journey to ensure that he would not be late.
He also thoughtfully prepared breakfast, some ham fried eggs, and toast that was cooked to perfection.
While eating, Ye Shan quietly took one of her fried eggs and put it on Pei Muyang's plate.
The sharp-eyed Pei Muyang noticed and put it back to her with a stern face, pretending to be angry. "Ms. Ye Shan, you are not allowed to be so picky about food. You must finish all your own food."
"But Yangyang works hard outside, and Mom wants you to eat more."
Ye Shan felt a little aggrieved. She didn't want this to happen, but the family's expenses all depended on Pei Muyang alone, and she could only sit at home doing nothing and enjoy the fruits of his labor.
Looking at her son's increasingly thin face, she felt distressed and couldn't help but blame herself for not being able to do anything well.
If she also had the ability to go out to work and earn money, Pei Muyang would not have to work so hard and suffer so much.
"I'm sorry Yangyang, it's all my fault for being useless."
"How can you be useless? As long as you can stay at home and do your best, you will be the greatest help to me." Pei Muyang patted the back of Ye Shan's hand and continued to comfort her, "Besides, Mom usually has to take care of Dad, which is already amazing. I am proud of you."
"Well, I'm proud of you too."
Ye Shan knew her son was trying to comfort her, but she could only pretend not to care and accepted everything he said. She proudly boasted to Pei Muyang, "And Mom recently learned how to use water for multiple purposes. I can use the same basin of water to wash my hands, then wash clothes, and finally mop the floor and flush the toilet, saving me a lot of water bills. Mom also crushes the empty bottles and collects them. Not only does it take up less space, it's also very convenient when I sell the waste later."
She counted on her fingers the life hacks she had recently learned from the Internet, which made Pei Muyang laugh.
"Really, beautiful? You've become so amazing after not seeing you for a few days? So, to reward you, how about we have hot pot at home today?"
"Eating hotpot is so expensive. Mom will use the seasoning packets from the supermarket to make spicy hotpot. I told you not to eat spicy hotpot from the street before, but you never listened. This time, Mom will cook for you a clean, hygienic and delicious spicy hotpot, okay?"
"Okay, then when I come back, you must let me eat the spicy hot pot made by the beautiful lady herself!"
"Eat quickly! We have to go to training after we finish eating. We can't be late for our first day."
"Okay, I understand."
Pei Muyang happily picked up his chopsticks and started enjoying his cold breakfast again.
He looked at Ye Shan's happy expression and kept repeating in his heart -
look!
It's going to be okay, everything is going to be okay.
