Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Fake couple returns to reality
Tuesday, June 6th.
After Li Ying and Cheng Lixue woke up, they simply washed up and had the bread and water they brought with them for breakfast.
Because she was worried that something strange might happen in the room in the middle of the night, Li Ying almost didn't sleep the whole night.
However, he was still very energetic in the morning. He had something on his mind and could not sleep well.
"Brother Li, if we go out and then go to the official Special Affairs Bureau, the time of meeting up will probably be different." Cheng Lixue looked at him.
Li Ying actually lives in the northern capital of Longjiang, while she lives in Guangzhou in Lingnan. The distance between the two places is enough to cross China.
Li Ying nodded. "Comrade Liu and the others are from the Beijing General Administration. We just need to report to our respective local bureaus and cooperate with the work. They said they would establish a video link through the various branches. However, the other players have already left, so it may be just the two of us who will be video chatting with the experts."
"Well, what do you think about me handing over two business cards to the authorities for purchase?" Cheng Lixue asked.
In addition to the one she kept, she had four more cards to use. Cheng Lixue didn't know anyone else, so for a newcomer like her, it would be most useful to exchange them for something that had practical value and could save her life.
"I think it's feasible." Li Ying looked at her and said.
"Xiaoxue, you haven't undergone rigorous player training yet. Although I'm not sure whether the business card you submit to the country will belong to the headquarters or the branch, it will definitely provide you with some protection offline in real life."
"I personally recommend that you first participate in the official new player training camp. Afterwards, you can use your business card to request some personalized training, as well as official dungeon simulation training. This will be very helpful in improving your dungeon survival rate. After that, it's time to choose items. The official item inventory should have quite a few good ones."
"The official has dungeon simulation training?" Cheng Lixue was curious. "What is this? Brother Li, have you ever participated in it?"
Li Ying shook her head. "I haven't participated, but I heard about it from a good friend. The training camp for regular players includes this part. More experienced players who have registered with the official team will be invited to participate in more advanced and in-depth training."
"Anyway, you might consider handing in two to the state first. Don't worry about the rest. I'll give you the doll, and you can exchange it for items from the official. I'm sure other players will have said this after we get out. These things should at least be enough for your next dungeon."
Given their current relationship, although their identities are "bound", it is impossible for either Li Ying or Cheng Lixue to travel thousands of miles to be with each other in reality. This is too unrealistic.
Letting Cheng Lixue go to official training first, to exercise his physical fitness and do a lot of "question practice" is the most reliable and appropriate choice.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Cheng Lixue wrote it all down.
She had memorized Brother Li's phone number and forum ID by heart, and was just waiting to return to reality from the haunted city.
At 9:10 in the morning, the two met up with official player Xie Xiangbei and walked into Ping'anli subway station together.
At 9:15, Li Ying got off the subway and then appeared at her home.
The copy phone's screen lights up, and the time is the same as the electronic watch at home.
He quickly washed his hands, then took out his real phone from his space backpack, turned it on with one click, turned on his computer while waiting, and entered the [Rugui] forum.
The long-awaited copy settlement prompt appeared. Li Ying quickly skipped some information and only focused on the key point: this time the clearance rating was A, and he was given 5,000 strange coins.
It's a pity that this book doesn't contain any extra props.
However, business cards can play a much greater role than ordinary props.
After waiting for about six or seven minutes, Li Ying's real-life phone finally rang.
"Hello, Brother Li? It's Xiaoxue. I'm home." Cheng Lixue's voice was a little soft, as if she was embarrassed, through the phone.
Li Ying said, "Okay, I'm home too. Did you see the copy settlement?"
He quickly browsed the posts on the forum and approved the six friend requests in the forum prompts.
"I see, I see. My copy rating is..." Cheng Lixue was about to speak when Li Ying interrupted her.
"Stop, you don't have to tell me this. Keep it a secret for yourself and don't tell anyone else in the future."
"I've received friend requests from six players in the hotel dungeon on my forum. You can open the dungeon on your phone and enter the forum. Add me first..."
He remotely instructed Cheng Lixue to enter the forum and add people one by one, while he quickly scanned the prices in several posts on the forum that were looking to buy business cards.
"Brother Li, I've added them. They're still online and asked us about renting a house." Cheng Lixue's lively voice came from the phone.
"Well, it's almost time. I'm going to the Special Affairs Bureau. Don't reveal your personal information to these players. Just say that you just came back and are going to the official place. You should set off too." Li Ying reminded her.
"Okay, then let's meet via video at the bureau." Her voice sounded very excited.
After hanging up the phone, Li Ying didn't leave in a hurry.
To be honest, the headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau in Longjiang was just across the street from him. There were completely blackout curtains in Li Ying's room. He quickly took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of boxer briefs, turned on the lights, stepped on the scale, and examined his body inch by inch in the mirror.
"I gained a pound." His brow furrowed slightly. Did he eat it at the hot spring hotel? Perhaps it was dessert for afternoon tea? He picked up what Xiaoxue had left, so he didn't eat much, right?
There are no noticeable changes in the physical appearance, but physical fitness and five senses still need to be tested.
Li Ying quickly changed into a new set of clothes, fumbled for a business card, and went to the Special Affairs Bureau downstairs.
At ten o'clock in the morning, a simultaneous video link was established between the main city of Longjiang, Lingnan Yangcheng and the headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau in Beijing.
Cheng Lixue crossed her hands nervously and couldn't help biting her lip. She saw Brother Li who had changed his clothes and the official player Xie Xiangbei who came back with him in the video, and she felt a little relieved.
At 12:30 in the morning, the player's copy recording was paused, and Cheng Lixue ate in the police station's free cafeteria for the first time. It was delicious.
Even though the first two groups of players had already contacted the official, Li Ying and Cheng Lixue, the particularly lucky fake couple in this copy, were asked questions and various details for an extra long time.
It was not until after four o'clock in the afternoon that the official copy record was completed. However, because the two men handed in their business cards, it was already evening when they returned home.
In the Bubble Hot Spring Hotel, the character given to Cheng Lixue is a master's graduate, but in reality, she has not graduated yet.
Now it seems that she can change her career without graduating.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Li Ying was editing the dungeon strategy of [Bubble Hot Spring Hotel] bit by bit in the interface of [Rugui] forum.
The guides for the other two groups of players have already been released. Although his is no different, different perspectives and experiences may be of some help to others.
Through the voice, he could hear the crisp sound of Cheng Lixue typing on the keyboard.
"Brother Li, writing transcripts is much faster than writing a paper."
After a while, there was no movement from her side.
"Have you finished the inspection?" he asked.
"I've finished checking. There should be no typos." Cheng Lixue muttered.
"I'll send it to you, why don't you post it together?" she said.
"If you plan to post and share strategy guides for a long time in the future, you need to establish the recognition of your forum ID. Players who share strategy guides in the forum are more well-known and trustworthy when trading props between players." Li Ying explained patiently.
"Just continue posting your strategy on my second floor later."
"By the way, what is your ID?" Li Ying suddenly thought of this question.
"Hehehehehe." Cheng Lixue laughed like a little devil in the voice chat.
"I originally wanted to call it Cheng Men Li Xue, but it was registered and I didn't want to add numbers, so I had an idea and turned the name around. I planned to call it Shirley Orange or something that sounds like Fruit Orange, but I didn't expect it to be registered by someone else too! Xueli Orange is not acceptable either." She was a little angry.
"There's nothing I can do. It's been five years, and all the nice-sounding IDs have been taken. So, what's your name?" Li Ying grasped the key point.
Cheng Lixue grumbled, "Brother Li, please post first. You'll know when I reply."
Li Ying had no choice but to check her content and layout carefully again. The title was already typed, so she published it with one click.
[6.2-6.5 Bubble Hot Spring Hotel] Three-day Guide & Return to Ghost City Rental and Job Search Information, Personal Speculations
Regarding the job search in Guicheng, Li Ying asked the official in the afternoon and only edited this part of the information after obtaining the official's consent.
"I've posted it." Li Ying said, and then privately chatted with other players in the same dungeon on the forum to ask them to push the post and confirm the authenticity of the strategy.
"I saw it, I copied it." Cheng Lixue said hurriedly.
Li Ying refreshed the interface and immediately saw her ID——【雪李橙】
Li Ying: ...
"This Li is...?" he asked after a moment of silence.
"Neither Li nor Pear worked, so I tried several others with the same pronunciation, and finally Li was approved directly." Cheng Lixue looked innocent.
Well, that makes sense, Li Ying thought.
The Rugui Forum at night is the time when all the players log in. Because of the warm-up posts from the family and friends groups, the strategy posts from the couples group, and the keyword "renting a house and looking for a job" marked by Li Ying in the title, the new post firmly occupies the top and most prominent position in the forum.
"Brother Li, there are so many people here. Wow! I'll go check out the other posts."
"By the way, the official said I can start training camp tomorrow after I pack my bags. The school staff will help me with everything. So I have to go back to Ghost City in six days to check in before leaving. When will you be back, Brother Li?"
"I'll go with you." Li Ying said.
He returned to Guicheng six days later, but unlike Cheng Lixue who just showed up, Li Ying planned to visit the legendary Qingshan Hospital.
It's hard to find a job without a resume, a job title, or a certificate, but no one said that he, a temporary resident of Ghost City, can't see a doctor!
At the same time, a haunted city and a safe home.
Luo Qing was lying on the bed with her arms and legs spread out. Today, she received the employee conversion contract from Uncle Wan, and signed a new contract directly with Xiao Liu. She also took care of the social security and other things of Ping An Real Estate with the help of the human resources specialist of Anxi Technology sent by her good friend Dudu.
She originally wanted to go to the Harmonious Community to look at some houses, but when she got there, she found that the quality of the residents and the environmental level of the Harmonious Community were far inferior to those of their safe home!
The hallway is so dirty. It will be so inconvenient to show tenants the apartment in the future! And the rent won't go up!
