Chapter 61 Home and Bai Miaomiao
Chapter 61 Home and Bai Miaomiao
[Settlement in progress]
[Module Rating: B+]
[The player is the winner, the main quest is complete, and based on the overall evaluation and dungeon difficulty, 40 Ancient Coins have been awarded, bringing the total number of Ancient Coins to 140.]
[Give the character Carolus White an interlude growth opportunity, unlock the random item draw function, and give her a special offer.]
Please go to the residence to check.
[We are currently summarizing player performance and awarding titles. The current title is: Investigator Doesn't Die Barehanded.]
[Title: Ironbreaker]
Even though you entered the module empty-handed, you still created the conditions to dismantle a cyber ghoul with three strikes. That's your achievement.
[Effect: All your attacks will ignore up to 3 points of armor, and each attack has a 30% chance to directly remove 3 points of the opponent's armor.]
It's a pretty good title, improving my current output consistency. Although it seems like a countermeasure, fortunately the countermeasures are quite comprehensive.
Although Bai Xi was a little dissatisfied with getting so little from speed-clearing the dungeon, he ultimately didn't say anything more.
He simply closed the panel casually.
As for the intermission progression and item draws, let's talk about that when the game goes live again.
Coincidentally, that was also the time when a new event was launched.
"The event is about to start."
Suddenly, Bai Xi made a remark as if with emotion, and Jiang Lingyi nodded but did not speak.
And so, in an instant, silence began to spread once again.
It was only after a long while that Jiang Lingyi broke the silence. She hesitated at first, then finally called out in a weary voice:
"Bai Xi".
"Yes, I'm here. What's up?"
Do you know that person?
"To be honest, I really don't know him."
Bai Xi sighed and replied, "If I even know him, then I'd have to know way too many people, wouldn't I?"
"Besides, I haven't been in contact with my family for a long time. It was unexpected that they suddenly contacted me."
He answered, seemingly with a hint of helplessness. Jiang Lingyi fell silent again, instinctively feeling a sense of unease.
But her responsibilities as an independent investigator, and her years of investigation, have compelled her to continue asking questions.
"Bai Xi, let me ask you one more question, just one."
Finally, she sighed and had to find a compromise, which she then proposed to Bai Xi:
Are you planning to go home this time?
"I don't want to go back, and I don't plan to."
Bai Xi's answer came quickly and matter-of-factly: "I really like my life now. Staying at home is really depressing."
"However, if they really can't sit still during this period, then they might have to go back, right? To be honest, I really hate going home."
He said casually:
"Every time I go home, I have to recognize a whole bunch of random relatives. You don't even know why, but you have to accurately call out the names of each of them who held you when you were little. It's torture."
"So I don't really want to go back. But who knows how it will end?"
As he spoke, he brought up the offline interface. Jiang Lingyi was silent for a moment, then finally spoke:
"Bai Xi, be careful."
Bai Xi paused slightly, and finally nodded.
"Yes, of course, I know."
"However, you should also be careful."
After saying this, Bai Xi logged off. Jiang Lingyi, on the other hand, wore a helpless expression.
As expected, Bai Xi knew exactly what she was planning to do.
However, if you want to remind yourself not to take risks, you should probably take care of yourself first.
Thinking of this, she smiled and then logged off.
After a while, Jiang Lingyi sat down at her computer desk. She hesitated for a moment, put the cigarette aside, and chewed two pieces of gum.
Then, he sent a text message to a familiar number.
This was sent to Team Leader Lin.
[We've found traces of the hymn party. I'll give you an address in N City now; Bai Xi lives there.]
During this period, monitor flight takeoffs and landings, as well as vehicle entry and exit, as much as possible, paying particular attention to people with the surname Bai.
[Pay special attention to the address in N City that I gave you. If anything happens, don't alert them; just try to confirm your destination.]
[By the way, don't disturb Bai Xi, and try your best not to let him notice anything.]
[It'll probably happen in the next day or two; our opponents are likely more anxious than we think.]
A very short time later, a reply arrived, containing only a single, extremely simple word:
【it is good】
Jiang Lingyi put down her phone, leaned back in her seat, and silently closed her eyes.
It was as if she could see the scroll slowly unfolding before her.
Whether I was running away from this matter or waiting in the past, it doesn't matter at this moment.
Because that moment is coming, whether others and oneself like it or not.
She looked out the window and sighed softly.
"The snow season is coming soon."
Winter has arrived, and the weather is getting cold.
Then let's use the warmth of blood to dispel this chill.
The day of revenge is approaching.
........................
At the same time, Bai Xi climbed out of the game pod, exhausted, and let out a long breath.
He stared blankly at the game pod in front of him, then suddenly smiled.
What's going on?
Come to think of it, I don't recall ever having this level of reaction when I first learned that games could invade reality.
After all, Bai Xi knew that those things had always been there; you could only escape them. The game invading reality was, at most, telling Bai Xi that all of this could actually happen.
But let it happen then. It's something that already existed.
But now, when something truly relevant to him came knocking, Bai Xi began to feel a growing sense of unease.
"It's just one problem after another. Isn't there even a single piece of good news?"
He grumbled as he opened his phone and scrolled through it. He glanced at his messages and then discovered something that surprised him.
Yesterday, Bai Xi dialed the number of the deliveryman, which was pronounced Alice, but found it was not in service.
When I checked again today, I found that this number had sent a message.
The text message contained a landscape photo. Bai Xi stared at it for a long time; it looked like a beach in N City.
The photo shows a beach scene, and in the center of the image, Alice is making a V-sign. Below is the message:
The scenery in N City is beautiful! Also, the octopus is delicious!
Let's go eat together sometime?
It looks just like a postcard.
Bai Xi couldn't help but complain. At the same time, she dialed the number again, but after a long time, it still showed as a disconnected number. She couldn't help but twitch her lips.
What's the principle behind this? Is it really that strange?
Well, at least I know Alice is doing well now.
Bai Xi sighed, feeling a little better. He got up from the game pod and sat down in a chair.
But suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. Bai Xi paused for a moment, then got up to open it.
Who is it?
He pushed open the door, asked a question, and then saw the girl standing at the door.
The girl was wearing a sports T-shirt and red sneakers, holding a phone with a charm in her hand. When she raised her hand, the charm fluttered up.
She looked every bit the athletic, youthful girl.
"Brother, it's me."
Then, the girl called softly, and Bai Xi replied with some surprise:
"Bai Miaomiao?"
