Dragon City, Qidian Internet Cafe.
"If only I could play every game like this."
Looking at the victory icon on the screen, Liu Haoming sighed from the bottom of his heart and clicked on [Continue Game].
Looking at the time on the bottom right corner of his computer, it was almost time for breakfast. He wanted to continue, so he gave up on the idea of playing another game.
Games could be played at any time, but breakfast could only be called breakfast when it was time.
He picked up a cup and a towel to wash up in the bathroom before heading out.
The weather today was still pretty good. The sun was shining brightly, and the spring breeze was warm. Liu Haoming actually felt that it was quite strange. It was so foggy last night, so it shouldn't be so sunny today.
However, who could be sure about the weather? Even the weather forecast was inaccurate these days. Liu Haoming didn't think too much about it.
"Boss, a bowl of pot side paste with small intestines."
Walking into the breakfast shop, he ordered an old set meal that he was already used to.
"Okay, young man, take a seat first. It'll be served soon!"
The lady boss was busy and enthusiastic. She was like a spinning top and never stopped.
Liu Haoming was very envious of the shop's business. He found an empty seat and sat down. The TV was broadcasting the morning news, and the dignified female host looked at the camera with a serious face.
"Yesterday at 16 pm Beijing time, the Ozhou government used military forces to clear out the fox disaster. More than 20 bombers and hundreds of tanks were deployed. Some residents felt a strong earthquake …"
Then, the screen started to show pictures of the fox disaster.
The photos were very tragic. The fox corpses were scattered all over the mountains and plains. The Austrian soldiers had gathered all the fox corpses together and destroyed them, piling them up into small hills. A few of the close-ups of the badly mutilated fox corpses were particularly frightening.
"How tragic."
Liu Haoming couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't expect the Ozhou government to go to this extent to deal with the fox disaster. It was even more intense than a war.
"It's a sin. Foxes are all intelligent. They will suffer retribution sooner or later for killing so many foxes."
The two old men behind him sighed. They felt that something like this shouldn't have happened.
"Old man, don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything. The Ozhou government is overrun with foxes. If they don't act seriously, they won't have a place to live. How can you say that it's a sin?" A young man refuted.
"What do you know!"
The old man raised his voice and scolded the young man, "In the early years, when a fox came to my house, we had to treat it well and send it away. We didn't dare to provoke it at all. What's more, in recent years, the world's spirit energy has recovered. Foxes already have spirituality. If they recover, they will directly become a fox immortal. Do you think I'm joking with you?"
The young man chuckled. He felt that the old man was stubborn and feudal, and there was a generation gap between them. He no longer responded to him.
Liu Haoming, who did not participate in the conversation, looked thoughtful. He supported the old man's point of view.
Foxes were indeed famous for their spirituality. Since ancient times, myths about foxes had been widely spread among the people. In this era of spiritual energy recovery, it was very possible for one or two fox spirits to appear.
Just as he was thinking this, the Lady Boss came over with a pot of paste.
…
Chu Yao arrived at Zephyr High School.
Looking at the large number of students like her entering and exiting the school gate, the warm sunlight shining on them, full of youthfulness, she actually felt a sense of separation between the game and reality.
"Can I return to my peaceful school life?"
Chu Yao asked herself, and the answer made her hesitate.
As long as there were still strange existences in Shanghai, she would not be able to remain calm. The burning Internet cafe badge in her pocket constantly reminded her that she was no longer the ordinary female high school student of the past. The mission of saving Shanghai might fall on her young shoulders.
Walking through the school gate, she arrived at the class.
At this time, all the students in the class were gathered in a large circle in the back row. Zhu Xiaojie, who had a crew cut and a face full of acne, was surrounded by the students.
"Xiaojie, did you really see that mysterious baldy last night?"
A male student asked excitedly. The students next to him were like him, their faces full of gossip.
The high school students in their adolescence were very curious about the mysterious baldy who had caused a storm in the city overnight.
"Of course I saw the mysterious baldy. Do you think I'm bragging to you?" Zhu Xiaojie rolled up his sleeves and answered loudly. He was very excited.
"You don't know what kind of bizarre things I experienced last night …"
Hearing Zhu Xiaojie talk about what happened last night, Chu Yao couldn't help but feel guilty.
Last night, she originally thought that Zhu Xiaojie was also playing that VR game and was online with her. When she saw the wanted news in the morning, she realized that she really did save Zhu Xiaojie in reality last night.
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Yao also moved to the periphery of the crowd to listen.
"The news said that the mysterious baldy is an extremely dangerous criminal, but that's not the case. I saw it with my own eyes, so I have the most right to speak!" Zhu Xiaojie's spittle flew as he explained to his classmates.
"The mysterious baldy is actually a savior with supreme magic power. If it wasn't for him, Shanghai would have been destroyed by the Ultimate Demon King last night!"
Chu Yao was very surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect Zhu Xiaojie to know the truth. She really did save Shanghai last night, and not a criminal.
"When I woke up last night, I found that I was tied up with eight other strangers in a building in the west of the city." Zhu Xiaojie revealed the truth to everyone.
"When I opened my eyes, I saw the bald man standing in front of me. He touched my face and said to me, 'Little brother, I can see that your foundation is excellent. You're a cultivation genius that only appears once in ten thousand years. Do you want to learn the method of subduing demons from me?'. At that time, I didn't even think about it and immediately agreed. "
Chu Yao was stunned. She felt that what he said was different from the truth.
I didn't say anything like that to you last night.
Moreover, when I touched your face, you were so scared that you peed your pants.
"Did the mysterious baldy really say that he wanted to teach you how to subdue demons?" As if hearing Chu Yao's thoughts, a male student questioned.
"Of course it's true, it's more true than a pearl!"
Zhu Xiaojie vowed, "You guys weren't there at the time, so you don't know. Just when the mysterious baldy wanted to take me in as his disciple, good heavens! There was a loud cracking sound in the sky, and a Demon King that was even bigger than a skyscraper descended from the sky — — You can go to the forums and search for this matter. At that time, many people saw the Demon King descend. "
No one doubted the Demon King that Zhu Xiaojie spoke of, because there were indeed many people discussing it on the Internet. Even photos and videos could be found.
"The mysterious baldy … Oh, no, my master first had a righteous conversation with the Demon King. After seeing that he was unable to enlighten the Demon King, my master had no choice but to make a move on it."
