Chapter 47
The 300-second countdown inevitably began, which meant that Jiang Yunu would be kicked out of the game in exactly five minutes.
Oh, in the moment she was staring at the pop-up window, she didn’t even have “five minutes” left.
The first digit of the countdown has dropped to "2".
Jiang Yunu couldn't help but say, "Wait, wait, wait."
But she couldn't tell whether she was telling the system to count down and wait - or whether she was referring to the wind elemental beast swooping down from the sky.
The wind elemental beast had been hovering in the air outside the cliff. It seemed that it had finally had enough of Jiang Yunu and felt that it was time to teach this human on the ground who was staring at it a lesson.
So the "big bird" turned in the air, spread its wings, and suddenly slid towards the cliff!
Jiang Yunu hadn't figured out how to fight yet, so she could only dodge and defend herself first. She ran into the woods behind.
As he ran, he questioned, "I'm about to be forced out of the game, but won't the elemental beasts' pursuit stop just because I'm about to quit?"
Jiang Yunu felt that this mechanism seemed a bit unreasonable, and she could also hear the wind getting louder and louder behind her.
This means that the wind elemental beast is coming at an extremely fast speed and is very close to her.
Jiang Yunu: “——!”
Relying entirely on instinct, Jiang Yunu rushed straight to the nearest tree, then dodged behind the thick trunk.
The next second, the branches and leaves above the dense tree canopy trembled violently, and then many broken branches and leaves fell from the tree.
The "big bird"'s pursuit route was cut off by a large tree, and its broad and long wings slammed heavily on the tree.
From Jiang Yunu's perspective, it felt like the "big bird" had slapped the big tree directly.
"...Hello, my tree friend, thank you for taking the blow for me." Jiang Yunu quickly touched the trunk of the tree behind her to express her apology. She spoke very quickly. Before she finished the second half of the sentence, she pushed her hand on the tree. As if she had springs on her legs, she shot out from the side of the tree again, and jumped directly to the side of another big tree diagonally in front of her.
As soon as Jiang Yunu landed, he quickly circled around the tree trunk, and the next moment, the "big bird" followed him like a shadow.
The opponent was chasing her in the grove, and its wings stirred up a small strong wind in the forest. The crown of the new shelter tree she had just found was also attacked, and soon there were waves of broken branches and leaves falling from above her head.
This time, "Big Bird" slapped the tree twice.
Not only the thin branches, but also some thicker branches were broken by the opponent's wings.
In order to avoid these "falling objects in the air", Jiang Yunu had to change her position again. When she ran to the next sheltering tree, she suddenly realized that this was probably the tactic of the wind elemental beast.
Just like Jiang Yunu was thinking about how to pull the opponent down from the sky, the wind elemental beast also has basic combat thinking.
The other party was thinking about how to dig Jiang Yunu out of her "hiding place" and, ideally, drag her back to the open space. That's why they kept hitting the tree, causing the branches and leaves to fall to the bottom of the tree, forcing Jiang Yunu to not want to be hit and just keep running.
"Then of course I can't let you get what you want." Jiang Yunu said to himself after figuring this out.
She always follows the principle of avoiding the opponent's home turf as much as possible in battle, just like before when she refused to let the water elemental beast drag her into the lake.
Jiang Yunu relied entirely on his physical fitness, trying his best to be one step faster than "Big Bird", jumping and changing positions several times in the woods.
Suddenly, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and noticed that the first number of the countdown on the translucent pop-up window was already... 0!
After seeing two zeros in a row, Jiang Yunu suddenly remembered that she was going to be forced to quit the game - she had just been chased by the "big bird" and entered the combat state so smoothly that she almost forgot that she was still in the countdown!
The seconds on the semi-transparent pop-up window are already in the single digits.
Jiang Yunu stared at the last five seconds and subconsciously counted in his mind.
Unconsciously, her dodging speed became a little slower.
However, sometimes in life, we must not overlook this point.
When Jiang Yunu saw the countdown turn to "2", she suddenly felt that there was a huge object behind her and it was very close to her. She could not only feel the strong wind coming from the other party's back, but also smell the unique smell of bird feathers.
Countdown 1 second.
The back of Jiang Yunu's collar was hooked.
Countdown 0 seconds.
Jiang Yunu felt like he was in heaven.
Then he was kicked out of the game in the sky.
Jiang Yunu: "..."
In the third round of playing the holographic game, Jiang Yunu had an extraordinary experience that he had never experienced in his past and present lives combined - [suddenly leaving a world in the sky].
This feeling was too bizarre. Jiang Yunu felt her brain was still shocked by this incident until she left the automatically opened simulation cabin and met up with Joyson who had also left the simulation cabin. The two of them walked out of the computer classroom together. She felt that her brain was still shocked by this incident, and her thoughts were still immersed in the strange experience of flying into the sky and being thrown out of the world.
"...Crossbow? Jade crossbow? Xiao Jiang?" Joyson raised his voice a little, "Jiang Jade Crossbow?"
Joyson didn't know how many times he had called Jiang Yunuo, but Jiang Yunuo seemed to have just heard his voice.
"Huh?" Jiang Yunu came back to his senses, still looking a little strange, and asked Qiao Yisen, "Why are you suddenly calling me by my full name?"
"..." Joyson looked at her, "I've already called you by your full name several times, and even tried all your nicknames."
Jiang Yunu said, "How come I didn't know I had various nicknames?"
She responded casually, then finally looked around carefully, and her expression became a little surprised.
Because Jiang Yunu found that she had arrived at the first floor lobby of the multi-purpose building.
She was almost going to go through the gate and out of the building with Joyson.
"...Strange." Jiang Yunu said, "How did we get out of the computer classroom? Why do I feel like I have no recollection of it?"
Joyson: “…”
Joyson could only watch her silently.
The fact is, Joeyson had just left the simulation cabin not long ago. Today, he had a good experience of the holographic game that Jiang Yunuo had kindly recommended to him last week, and he fully appreciated the charm of the game. He was very excited after coming out of the simulation cabin, and couldn't wait to share his thoughts with Jiang Yunuo. Coincidentally, Jiang Yunuo also came out of the simulation cabin next to him at that time. Joeyson immediately stepped forward to greet him, grinning and started talking... Until he had talked for a few minutes, the two of them walked from the classroom to the corridor, and then from the corridor to the elevator. He suddenly realized that Jiang Yunuo had been ignoring him.
"I thought you were mad at first," Joyson said.
The two of them had already reached the campus road outside the multi-purpose building.
Being ignored by Jiang Yunu dealt a slight blow to the red-haired boy. He spoke these words in a pitiful tone and sighed deeply beside Jiang Yunu.
"The scariest thing is that I suspect you are angry, but I don't know why you suddenly get angry," Joyson continued.
Jiang Yunu quickly shook his head and cleared up the misunderstanding with the other party.
"I'm not angry, I was just thinking," she said.
Joyson was puzzled. "What are you thinking about? What could have made you so silent after coming out of the simulation cabin, like you've lost your soul?"
"..." Jiang Yunu tried to explain, but after going over it in her mind, she felt that it was too complicated to explain. She could only summarize it in one sentence, "To put it simply - I became a god in the game."
Joyson: “Huh?”
Joyson was even more confused.
However, the red-haired boy, adhering to the principle that Jiang Yunu was generally right, hesitated for a moment and tentatively praised him, "That must be because you're so good. I haven't even left the novice practice room yet. I wonder if I'll have such a fresh experience later."
Jiang Yunu thought about how he tried his best to avoid the pursuit of the "big bird", but in the end he failed because his clone was watching the countdown.
She also sighed: "I am indeed quite 'awesome'."
Joyce's understanding was completely different, and his tone of praise became more and more confident: "You are really amazing!"
After praising Jiang Yunu, Joeysen shared his thoughts on the game that had just been unfortunately ignored.
Jiang Yunu also felt sorry for ignoring others just now, and listened very carefully.
And to be more specific, she actually wanted to know what Joyson's gaming experience was like, and whether his novice process was different from hers.
"The training process for novices in this game is so long." Joyson couldn't help but sigh when talking about the novice teaching.
Jiang Yunu recalled that she had spent half an hour in the novice tutorial and was still in the novice trial map. She nodded and said, "It is quite long. It seems that they want to let new players adapt to all aspects of the game."
Qiao Yisen was also curious about Jiang Yunu's progress. "Have you left the initial training room and entered your first novice map? I stayed in that room for a long time, until the countdown to leaving the game was almost over, and I was finally allowed to enter the first map."
This is also why Joyson said before that he has not completely left the novice practice room.
Jiang Yunu paused.
She felt that Joyson spent a little longer in the practice room, at least slower than her.
But she certainly wouldn't mention it specifically.
Jiang Yunu only replied: "I've been fighting monsters in the first novice map for quite a while."
Joyson listened with longing.
He was not a complete fighter, but the holographic game was so attractive. It was something that the boy living in a run-down street had never had access to before. Joyson was also eager to experience fighting monsters in the game.
"I even got my weapon before logging off," Joyson said excitedly. "Can you imagine how happy I am? Even though I haven't started killing monsters yet, getting my weapon is a completely different experience!"
"Yeah." Jiang Yunu understood that feeling, but her attitude in answering was a little perfunctory, mainly because she wanted to know what Joyson's weapon was right away.
——Could it be as weird as her weapon?
Jiang Yunu, hoping to find someone of his kind, asked, "What's your novice weapon?"
Joyson gestured excitedly: "A light sword! It's this long!"
Jiang Yunu: "...I see."
The "shovel faction" lost an ally.
