"Ding dang dang dong, dang dong ding dang — —"
The melodious bell for the end of class slowly rang, and the sleepy classroom was faintly livened up.
"That's all for today. Students, remember to do the exercises after class. After class, go out for a walk and get some fresh air. Wash your face and wake up."
The bald, middle-aged teacher pushed up his black-rimmed glasses. His gaze swept over the listless students below the stage.
He could understand this group of children who were fighting to keep their eyes open.
The first class in the afternoon …
There was no lunch break in autumn and winter, so it was normal for students to feel sleepy.
Not to mention, it was a high school where the pressure was immense.
Of course, today was much better than usual. In the past, at least half of the students would be "fishing" during class. Although they were still groggy today, at least not many of them fell asleep.
Perhaps it was because it was the end of the month, and it was also Friday, just in time for the two-day break of the month.
The middle-aged teacher did not stay in the classroom. He put down the infrared digital pen in his hand and picked up his lesson plan. He picked up the old-fashioned thermos that had been used for seven or eight years and left the classroom.
The door to the classroom opened, and a gust of cold wind blew into the room. It was like a wake-up call.
"Achoo!"
The boy sitting by the door sneezed subconsciously. Then, he took a piece of paper from the table beside him. His movements were very practiced, like an old man who had been selling pancakes in the market for decades.
He blew his nose, and his deskmate rolled his eyes in disdain.
"Bring it yourself next time!"
"Got it, got it. I'll bring it next week. Definitely, definitely."
He smiled apologetically.
It was an ordinary conversation that couldn't be any more ordinary.
It was time for the precious recess.
There were some students who finally could not hold it in any longer and directly lay down on the table, seizing the opportunity to take a nap. There were also some students who had been holding it in for half of the lesson, rushing out of the classroom, their backs disappearing in a single glance …
However, most of the students gathered in groups of twos and threes and began the ordinary and somewhat strange "gathering" between classes.
It made sense because it was common for young boys and girls to chat in groups during class.
What was strange was that after the first class in the afternoon, especially after classes in autumn and winter, there shouldn't be so much activity.
Especially after the heater was turned on, it made people feel lazy. Logically speaking, even if it was the end of the month, after classes on Friday, a lot of people should have slept …
However, today was different.
"Is it connected to the Internet? Is it connected to the Internet? "
"Wait a minute … It's a bit slow. My phone was left behind by my dad, so the signal hasn't been very good."
"Hurry up! There were still two people waiting behind him! Should I refresh it again? You can adjust the flight mode and try again. "
"Don't rush … Wait, I'm working … Okay, I'm coming in, I'm coming in! Wait a minute, I'll go first. Let me register an official account first … "
"Hurry up! Hurry up! "
"F * ck! How long had it been? More than 10 million people have signed up? "
"What kind of game do you think this is? This is the Elven Kingdom! "
Similar conversations could be heard all over the classroom.
However, there was a tall and thin boy who was playing with his phone. His gaze swept across the classroom again and again with a leisurely expression.
The boy couldn't be said to be handsome, but he could be said to be fair and clean.
It was said that the Celestial Empire's school uniform was a device to identify one's appearance. Although the boy's appearance was average, it was a clothes rack that gave people a feeling of sunshine and valiance.
However, the two-dimensional book covers on the table, as well as the moe decorated stationery boxes, seemed a little subtle.
He stretched from time to time, shook his head from time to time, and couldn't help but hum a strange tune. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Looking at the excited and expectant expressions of his classmates, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up crazily.
His slightly raised chin was a little smug.
In addition, his eyes glanced around from time to time, and his sparkling eyes seemed to be saying, "Someone come and look for me, someone come and look for me" …
Until a small and delicate hand slapped him heavily on the shoulder.
"Xu Ge! Lend me your phone! "
"Ouch!"
The boy couldn't help but cry out in pain.
He turned his head helplessly, rubbed his shoulder, and looked at the delicate and pretty face that was close to him. He said gloomily,
"Miss Zhao Linqian, can you be gentler next time?"
It was a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old. She wasn't tall and was quite small.
Her facial features couldn't be said to be exquisite, but she gave people a sense of vitality and intimacy like a little girl next door. She was the type that was very pleasing to the eye. Coupled with her simple bob hair, she looked a little more lively and cute.
She chuckled and said,
"Ahaha, I've been taking photos since I was young. I'm used to it, used to it … Ahem, okay, okay, I'll be gentler next time. Brother Xu ~ Give me your phone!"
Hearing the coquettish voice in the latter half of the sentence, Xu Ge was about to have goosebumps.
At this moment, the girl also saw the phone on the table, and her eyes lit up.
She grabbed the boy's shoulder with one hand and quickly leaned out. Then, she skillfully took the phone:
"Haha, got it!"
Xu Ge: …
Feeling the warmth on his shoulder and smelling the unique fragrance on the girl's body, the boy felt his cheeks heat up.
Especially when he accidentally touched her softness, it made him realize that the girl he had played with since he was young was no longer the same.
"Be careful, you're always so carefree. Be careful that you can't find a boyfriend in the future."
Xu Ge complained.
The girl habitually entered the phone password and said without turning her head:
"Then I'll just find you to make do with. Anyway, no one cares about you, a nerd who looks sunny on the surface but is actually sultry on the inside."
Xu Ge: …
Can we not be like this?
He glanced at the girl's actions and then widened his eyes:
"Damn, when did you know my password?"
The girl continued to answer without turning her head:
"Do you need me to guess, a lazy person like you who sets all the passwords the same?"
Xu Ge: …
It's time to consider changing the password. I can't keep using my birthday …
Watching the girl log into the official website of "Elf Nation" and focus on filling in the information to register an account, he asked curiously:
"Miss Zhao, didn't you swear to never touch 'Elf Nation' in a fit of anger because your relatives and friends who played 'Tale of Wuxia' were abducted by 'Elf Nation'? Why do you feel so good today? "
The girl's shoulders paused slightly, and her fingers paused swiping the screen.
She laughed dryly:
"Because human nature is really good."
Then, she continued to register an account.
After a moment of silence, under Xu Ge's strange gaze, Zhao Linqian finally told the truth:
"A while ago, I went to an exhibition to buy a few albums of the wives of 'Tale of Wuxia'. In the end, I saw an elf cosplay group at the exhibition and was amazed. Then, when I asked for a photo, I found out that they were players of 'Elf Nation'."
"I wanted to leave, but I accidentally watched a game movie they made in 'Elven Nation', and then I fell in love with it …"
"I don't understand, I don't know. This game is really toxic … It's simply too seductive! Just watching the video makes my heart itch. "
Xu Ge: …
You're still calling me an otaku. Didn't you go to the exhibition too?!
But soon, the young man reacted:
"Wait … You didn't ask me to go to the exhibition with you!"
Zhao Linqian glanced at him:
"Are you sure you want to go with me?"
Hearing the girl's rhetorical question, Xu Ge suddenly remembered this girl's hobby and hurriedly cupped his hands:
"Understood, goodbye."
He was an otaku, but he wasn't rotten.
But then, as if he remembered something, Xu Ge's heart skipped a beat:
"Wait a little longer …"
"What now? I'm still registering! "
Zhao Linqian pouted.
She swiped the tablet phone, and her big black and white eyes suddenly widened:
F * ck … It's almost 15 million, are these people crazy? They're registering at this time?! "
"After all, the announcement was made half a month in advance, and the registration time is only today. They'll choose an account and update it tomorrow."
Xu Ge shook his head.
However, he no longer spoke to interrupt the girl's casting.
Three minutes later …
Satisfied, the young girl returned the phone and stretched her back happily.
"Done, here's your phone!"
Then, she clapped her hands again and said with sparkling eyes:
"By the way, the new desktop background is pretty good. Send me an original picture later!"
Xu Ge subconsciously looked at his phone's desktop …
It was an original art of "Elven Nation".
In the picture, there was a beautiful elven girl.
She had silver hair and purple eyes, and her appearance was peerless. She wore a crown on her head, held a scepter in her hand, and wore a noble and gorgeous divine dress. She was fighting a ferocious and terrifying demon …
The lighting effects were just right, making her look holy and noble, forming a strong contrast with the dark and bloodthirsty demon below her. That calm expression, slightly raised chin, and deep starry eyes added a bit of majesty and mystery to her.
Beautiful, cool, and gorgeous.
That was the feeling the picture gave off.
As for the identity of the girl in the picture, although Xu Ge had never really played "Elven Nation", he knew it like the back of his hand.
No, or rather, anyone who knew about "Elven Nation", or even many who didn't know about "Elven Nation", knew her.
Perhaps you couldn't name her, but you must have seen her pictures, her emoji packs, and even her … ahem, books in many places on the Internet.
She was the faction leader of "Elven Nation", the incarnation of the World Tree, the Goddess of Life, Mother Nature, and the ruler of the elves — Eve Yuktrashil.
At the same time, she was also the players' favorite NPC and the most popular existence in the entire game, even in some pink apps.
This picture was said to be taken by the players when they were going through the plot during the battlefield mission in the game some time ago.
Full marks for the angle and special effects. It was the phone's desktop that Xu Ge had carefully selected.
"It seems that you like the goddess very much."
Xu Ge raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Zhao Linqian nodded heavily:
"I'm impressed! I saw the goddess's cosplay at the exhibition. It was so beautiful, it was shocking! But … when I watched the game video, I suddenly realized that the cosplayer didn't even cosplay 1% of the goddess's charm. "
"Yes, yes! The goddess is originally super good-looking, and she comes with special effects. I don't think anyone can cosplay the goddess, even half of it is difficult. I've searched for many cosplay photos of the goddess, but none of them satisfied me. Although many cosplays are actually very good-looking, in the end, the difference is too great … "
Xu Ge nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing with Zhao Linqian's words.
Then, he stretched out his hand and made an "OK" gesture and said:
"The pictures are no problem. I'll send the original pictures to you on QQ and send you a wave of my latest collection. They are all good pictures of" Elven Nation, "including the beautiful pictures of the big scenes at the harvest festival some time ago!"
"You're a good friend. I'll buy you a cup of milk tea after school!"
The girl smiled and patted Xu Ge's back with satisfaction.
"I want a large cup, and the latest and most expensive."
Xu Ge's expression turned solemn as he said in all seriousness.
"I don't have money. Only a small cup of the original flavor. Drink it if you want."
Zhao Linqian glared at him.
"Okay, small cup then."
Someone admitted defeat.
The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Linqian asked again:
"Right, what did you want to say just now?"
Xu Ge was stunned and frowned slightly.
After being interrupted, he really couldn't remember what he wanted to say just now.
However, after thinking for a while, the teenager's eyes lit up:
"Right, I wanted to ask. You said that you watched the" Elven Nation "game movie at the exhibition?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Is it called" Elven Adventures "? The authors are Black Cat and Vieruodis? "
"Yes."
"Haha! I knew it! I wanted to recommend it for you a long time ago! Isn't the plot amazing! "
"Yes! Going on an adventure in a different world as a transmigrator, combined with the setting of "Elven Nation", it's amazing! Really … I only found out at the end that it was filmed in a game! At first, I thought it was a movie that I didn't know about! And the plot is amazing! It's very touching! After watching it, I realized that the NPCs in "Elven Nation" are so smart and cute! "
"Right! Right! Do you know? The original author is Teacher Black Cat! Of course the plot is amazing! "
"Teacher Black Cat? Is it the Teacher Black Cat that I know? "
"Yes!"
"Damn, instead of drawing comics, why is he playing games and filming movies?!"
"He fell into" Elven Nation ", so he's been delaying it more and more recently …"
"Hahahaha …"
After finding a common topic, the two of them started chatting excitedly.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Linqian suddenly had an idea. She turned to look at Xu Ge with an inquisitive expression, which made him a little uneasy.
"What's wrong?"
He asked, puzzled.
"That's not right. If you like" Elven Nation "so much, why didn't I see you registering?"
The girl touched her chin and raised her eyebrows as she said.
Hearing her mention this topic, the teenager was obviously in a good mood.
He bowed slightly and said with a cheeky smile:
"How did you know? Maybe I secretly registered during class. "
"Nonsense, registration officially opened at two o 'clock. I was sitting behind you and you dozed off during class."
The girl pursed her lips.
Xu Ge: …
Could it be that you've been watching me since then?!
He looked at the girl speechlessly, then grinned:
"I'm not registering."
"Not registering? Didn't you keep saying that you must get a spot? I resisted "Elven Nation" previously, a small part of it was due to your crazy promotion day and night … "
Zhao Linqian looked at the teenager strangely.
Xu Ge: …
He cleared his throat and said with a smile:
"No, I've already got a spot."
As he spoke, he picked up his phone and found a message to show the girl.
Zhao Linqian: …
Looking at the message congratulating her on winning the prize and getting a spot in the open beta, she pouted her nose like a pig:
"You guy! When did you sneak away?! "
"Hehe, some time ago, there was an event on the official forum. After I participated, I won a prize and got a spot. Good luck, I hope to see you in the game tomorrow. "
Zhao Linqian: …
"That's too despicable! Isn't your luck way too good?! What event? "
"I don't remember the name clearly. I think it's something like" Elven Nation "Life Church reform gathering opinions or something … You don't know, the development of" Elven Nation "depends on the players. Many things need to be thought and formulated by the players themselves. However, this is the first time such a reward has appeared. "
Xu Ge said with a smile.
Then, he reached out and patted the girl's shoulder:
"Good luck, there's a total of nearly 180,000 spots. I believe you can do it."
Zhao Linqian: …
"Wait … Didn't they say 200,000 spots were open?"
She widened her eyes, tilted her head, and frowned slightly. Her eyes were full of doubts.
"It's two hundred thousand, but twenty thousand of them can be purchased. The price of one slot is equivalent to a year's worth of my pocket money. But even so, they were all sold out within five minutes. Of the remaining one hundred and eighty thousand, five hundred were awarded to the winners of the forum event. So … the real number of slots for the lucky draw is less than one hundred and eighty thousand. Let's round it up to one hundred and eighty thousand."
Xu Ge explained carefully.
"Is that so?"
The girl frowned.
"Well, why didn't you say so earlier? If you had said that you were interested in" Elven Nation ", I would have called you when I participated in the event. I thought you were determined not to play" Elven Nation "…"
Xu Ge spread out his hands with a helpless expression.
Then, he looked at his phone again and exclaimed:
"Tsk … It's going to be over 20 million."
It was just that his expression was a little mischievous.
Zhao Linqian: …
"Get lost …"
She kicked the other party.
Xu Ge, who had been on high alert, dodged lightly and laughed.
After laughing, he regained his composure and comforted her.
"But don't worry, according to statistics, people who play games often and experts on the game rankings have a higher chance of winning a spot. You were in the top three of the season arena in" Tale of Wuxia ", right? Well, I think you can do it. "
Zhao Linqian: …
"Let's leave it to fate …"
She sighed.
However, although she looked listless, the girl's eyes were shining and full of hope.
Until the last moment, everyone hoped that they would be the one to win.
This was youth.
