Xu Fengqing looked at the young man's smile and felt as if he had returned to ten years ago.
He was silent and was about to say something when the communication device on the young man's wrist rang.
Xu Sili looked down and saw that it was a message from his second brother.
Second Brother: [Xiao Li, something big happened!]
Second Brother: [What you said before is true, and it happened early!]
Xu Sili felt warm in his heart and quickly replied to him. He also told him that he was safe. He hadn't told him that his eldest brother had been saved, but he probably already knew.
Sure enough, Xu Yuheng quickly replied.
Second Brother: [I've already contacted him. He's online now to help you solve the problem of the beast tide.]
Second Brother: [Where are you now? When will you come back? I couldn't find you in the palace.]
Snow: [I'm outside. Big Brother is also on the spaceship.]
Second Brother: [Okay, you can ask Big Brother. We've already discussed it.]
Xu Sili blinked and looked up at Xu Fengqing. He was about to say something, but when he saw Cha Mo, who was listening with great interest, he couldn't help but pause.
"Cha Mo, take Ah Sheng to rest first," he said.
"She probably won't wake up for a while. We'll talk about the forest fairies later."
Cha Mo knew that it was probably not convenient for him to listen to what they were going to say. Although he was curious about what they were going to say, he tactfully nodded.
After Cha Mo left, Xu Fengqing sat down opposite him on the sofa.
He looked up at Xu Sili, but when he saw Si Sheng, who was sitting next to him, he suddenly paused.
Si Sheng keenly sensed the change in his mood.
He hesitated for a moment, but before he could chase him away, he had already stood up and smiled gently. "I'll wait outside. You can talk to Big Brother."
Xu Sili watched him disappear and then looked at his eldest brother's unhappy expression. He couldn't help but touch his nose.
"Si Sheng, he's pretty good …"
He whispered.
Xu Fengqing looked at him. Actually, he didn't really want to talk about this topic. Whenever he saw Si Sheng, he would think of those doujinshi pictures of him and Snow.
However …
"Do you like him?" he asked.
Xu Sili did not expect that he would suddenly ask such a question. His ears suddenly became hot, but soon he raised his head, looked into the man's eyes and said, "Yes, big brother."
"I like him. I want to be with him."
"Why?"
Xu Fengqing looked back at him with a serious expression. "Is it because he's the only one in this world who knows who you are?"
He still remembered the words he said while crying before he went offline.
Xu Sili was stunned.
Standing outside the corridor, Si Sheng couldn't help but stiffen. This time, Ali didn't or forgot to set up a soundproof barrier, so he could clearly hear the conversation in the room.
He felt his heart tremble slightly.
Was it because he was the only one who knew who the real Ali was, so … Ali liked him and … chose to be with him?
Si Sheng raised his head slightly and looked at the sky through the corridor window. Then, he gently tugged at the corner of his mouth.
What did it matter? As long as he was willing to be with him, nothing else mattered …
"No." He heard the young man's voice come from the room.
"I like Si Sheng as a person."
"I know what you want to say. You think that I fell in love with him because of the drawbridge effect, but I know very well that's not the case."
"Maybe the drawbridge effect made our relationship closer, but before it became like this, when I was still Xu Sili, I already liked him."
Si Sheng was stunned. He felt the trembling in his heart become another kind of rhythm.
Ali just said … love.
The gloomy smile on his face disappeared in an instant. Si Sheng seemed to be wandering in the sun, but also seemed to be soaking in a honey pot. His whole body exuded a sweet aura.
In the room, Xu Fengqing quietly looked at the young man.
He didn't show much emotion because of his confession. Instead, he said, "So you want to say that you fell in love with a paper person at that time?"
Xu Sili paused and then defended himself.
"At that time, he already had self-awareness … He remembered everything I said to him and the things I did for him. Besides, it's not like there aren't paper people in this world …"
His voice became softer and softer as he spoke.
In fact, he didn't realize this at that time. He brought Si Sheng to Star Age purely to see if they could meet in the holographic game before he died.
If they couldn't meet, he would let him assist Snow so that they could continue to exist in the game …
However, this wasn't a good topic to talk about in front of his brother.
Because of his willful decision, his family contributed everything to the birth of this game. This was something he didn't expect at the beginning …
When Xu Sili thought of the information he saw on the Future Forum, he felt guilty.
"I'm sorry."
He lowered his head and said apologetically again.
Xu Fengqing stared at him for a long time. He sighed softly, then reached out his hand and touched the top of his head like he did when he was a child.
"Just do what you want to do."
"… Xiao Li."
Xu Sili suddenly looked up, and his eyes suddenly turned red. "Brother, you …"
You believe me?
Xu Fengqing looked at him helplessly, took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. "You're already an adult, but you still cry so easily."
Xu Sili sniffed.
"You just called me by my nickname," he said.
"Mhmm." Xu Fengqing nodded.
He looked at the young man in front of him with red eyes and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
What was there to be suspicious about?
The game team couldn't even control the simplest game process. Did they expect them to create someone with the same personality as the prototype?
In any case, Xu Fengqing didn't believe it now.
"I don't care if you want to be with Si Sheng," he said. "But I don't like him, so I don't want him to appear in front of me as much as possible."
Xu Sili obediently took the handkerchief from him, but he still couldn't help but say, "But Si Sheng is really good …"
"Whether he's good or not doesn't affect my opinion of him," Xu Fengqing said. "Let's continue discussing the beast tide."
Si Sheng, who was standing outside and listening attentively: "…"
Since his brother said so, Xu Sili couldn't do anything. He could only slowly change his opinion of him in the future.
However, he still said seriously:
"Brother, thank you for not treating him as an NPC."
Although Big Brother said that Si Sheng was just a paper person, his words clearly showed that he was treating Si Sheng as a real person.
Xu Fengqing paused. He looked up at the wall behind the young man, as if he saw someone.
When Xu Sili was about to turn around curiously, he looked away and said softly, "It's probably because …"
"This world is too real."
Xu Sili looked at him and nodded.
Indeed, this world was like a real world. Many things couldn't be explained by simple data.
But if it wasn't a game, how did the players come here? What was with the game system?
He couldn't figure it out, so he put it aside for the time being.
The two brothers discussed for a while. Soon, Xu Fengqing went offline again.
Xu Sili stretched his back and felt unprecedentedly relaxed. Just as he was about to share this joy with Si Sheng, a figure appeared in front of him.
"Sheng …"
Before he could finish, the man had bent down, cupped his face, and lowered his head to kiss him.
The kiss was passionate and gentle. When Xu Sili came back to his senses, he was pressed onto the sofa and his hands were raised above his head.
He panted softly and looked at Si Sheng who was pressing him down. He guessed that Si Sheng had probably heard his confession, but he wasn't embarrassed. He laughed and scolded, "Aren't you afraid that my brother will come back?"
Hearing this, Si Sheng froze and stopped what he was doing. He looked back warily and then nervously retracted his gaze.
"My brother hates me," he said dejectedly.
Xu Sili couldn't help but laugh.
Looking at his pitiful appearance, he leaned over and pecked Si Sheng on the lips.
"But I like it."
Then he whispered seductively in his ear, "When we go back to the palace tonight, do you want to take a bath together?"
Si Sheng's gray-blue eyes lit up. He looked at the young man greedily and whispered, "I can't ask for more."
Border of Roland.
It was rare for the leaders of the Adventurer mercenary groups to gather together. The teleportation circle lit up continuously, and there were still solo players gathering here.
In the end, the number of people gathered was about ten thousand.
"Sister Qingyan, those who can be called are all here," a core member of the mercenary group said to Qingyan.
Ten thousand people, less than one-tenth of them.
However, this couldn't be helped. It was still daytime, and many people weren't online, unlike them who were full-time players who were in the game 24 hours a day.
Qingyan nodded and thanked them for their hard work. Then she said in the group channel, "Lin Mu isn't here. I'll be the overall commander for this battle. Does anyone have any objections?"
In the game, the two most powerful players were the two mercenary groups led by Qingyan and Lin Mu. They were also players who were born in the Imperial City.
Although Xu Sili tried his best to maintain the balance, the beta testers who were born in the Imperial City, especially the first beta testers, had more advantages than the other players. This allowed Qingyan and Lin Mu to rise quickly.
If Lin Mu was here today, there would be people who could compete with Qingyan. Now that he wasn't here, no one dared to have any objections.
Qingyan said, "It's different from the past. Usually, it doesn't matter how you fight, but today, I hope that everyone can truly unite. This battle concerns everyone's interests!"
Her words received everyone's approval.
"Very good, now listen to my orders!"
According to the blue mark's video, some people had calculated that they had at least half a day to prepare according to the speed of the monster horde.
They had to seize the time and do their best to build the strongest fortress possible!
As Gentle Yan issued one order after another, the 10,000 plus players moved like the gears of a machine, quickly moving into action.
A battle song was played in the party channel.
This made every participating player feel their blood boil. They couldn't wait to fight immediately.
Under Qingyan's command, thousands of Earth Elementalists cast their spells at the same time. The originally flat ground caved in, forming a deep trench that was more than ten meters wide and almost ten meters deep.
Following that, with the help of the Wind Elementalists, the Metal Elementalists steadily fell to the bottom of the trench.
They placed their hands on the ground. Sharp steel bars rose from the ground and filled the trench. They shone coldly under the sun.
After a while, a small team climbed down. They held shovels and dug in the ground, busily burying something.
After coming out of the trench, they could see that 20 to 30 meters away, another trench had formed. The players were doing the same thing at the bottom.
This would be the first and second line of defense against the monster horde.
After that, the players retreated from the trench. The ground began to rise again. The side facing the Galactic Beasts was at a right angle of 90 degrees, while the other side was a gentle slope.
The molecular structure of this high wall was exchanged and learned from the faction storage. Its sturdiness was even higher than the hardest steel.
In the middle of the wall, there were passages for people to pass through. They could attack the enemies in front of them through the holes in the wall.
When the three lines of defense were completed, it was already noon of the second day. From afar, they could see the dust kicked up by the monster horde. It was as if they were covering the sky and the sun.
The players looked at this scene. They could clearly hear the people around them gulping.
There were too many of them …
His Majesty Xiao Luo was not here. Could they really stop the monster horde?
At this moment, a piece of good news came.
"Sister Qingyan, look at the faction storage! We can use the contribution points from the Town of the Brave to exchange for equipment! "Someone reported to the leader.
Qingyan quickly opened the faction storage to check.
Previously, the faction storage could only be exchanged with Reputation Points. Moreover, only 100 Reputation Points could be exchanged. Now that the server had only been open for a short period of time, many noobs did not have enough Reputation Points.
Now, they could use contribution points to exchange for Reputation Points!
Not only could they exchange for equipment, but they could also exchange for Blue Potions and Health Potions. This was a great opportunity for them!
"Quick, everyone exchange for Invisible Armor. It's best to get a Laser Gun. Also, fill up on Blue Potions and Health Potions!"
Qingyan ordered.
Contribution points were more precious than Reputation Points. They could be exchanged for more items. However, many people were hesitant.
After all, contribution points could be exchanged for land!
Qingyan frowned and said, "Now is not the time to be stingy with contribution points. Once the Town of the Brave is lost, all our previous efforts will be in vain."
"When that time comes, what's the point of holding on to these contribution points?"
After she finished speaking, she took the lead and used more than half of her contribution points to exchange for a batch of supplies. She distributed them to the players who did not have enough contribution points.
Qingyan's action was a good example. Moreover, the players soon discovered that … after using their contribution points, their ranking did not decrease!
This undoubtedly gave them confidence, allowing them to exchange for equipment and resources without fear.
The players were distributed to their respective posts.
The number of players online today was 30,000 to 40,000 more than yesterday. They were all players who heard that there was going to be a monster attack today and specially applied for leave to participate in the activity.
Although their city had not been built yet, the land belonged to them. The Town of the Brave's mission clearly stated that the Town of the Brave would be as big as the land they cleared.
They had to defend the Town of the Brave!
The Elementalists who were squatting on top of the high wall used the camera to capture the first wave of the monster horde.
The surface of the two deep trenches, which were three to four thousand meters long, was covered with thin and dense vines. Even if one looked closely, one would not be able to see that there was something else at the bottom.
Finally, under the nervous and excited gazes of the players, the first Galactic Beast stepped on those vines.
"Boom —"
The vines could not bear the weight of the Galactic Beast and broke.
Just as the players had initially designed, the Galactic Beasts rolled into the deep trench one after another like dumplings.
"Slash —" "Slash —"
"Roar —"
The sound of metal piercing flesh was accompanied by the cries of the Galactic Beasts. Waves of bright red damage numbers appeared from the trenches. There were so many of them that the specific values could not be seen clearly.
"Ahhh, I leveled up!"
A Metal-Type player who had placed the steel bars jumped up happily. His body lit up continuously, indicating that he had leveled up.
However, this was only the beginning. The Galactic Beasts behind were still pouring in endlessly. Although the Galactic Beasts that saw that something was wrong tried to stop, they were still knocked into by the Galactic Beasts.
In the end, these Galactic Beasts actually filled up the trenches that were more than ten meters deep and dozens of meters wide!
Seeing that the Galactic Beasts behind were about to step on the corpses of their companions, Qingyan issued a new order.
"Boom — boom — boom —!!!"
Continuous explosions sounded in the deep trenches. The Galactic Beasts that were still struggling between the steel bars were instantly blown into pieces, turning into a red rain that fell from the sky.
This scene looked so beautiful after being beautified by the Holy Light. Many players were mesmerized by it.
One of the players was so happy that he danced with joy.
This was because he was the creator of these bombs. He was also the first person to configure gunpowder in the Star Age and successfully made a bomb that could be controlled remotely!
"Roar —"
At this time, a humanoid Galactic Beast finally passed through the first trench in the explosion. Its body was unavoidably covered in wounds.
It looked very excited. Its eyes were red as it roared at the players, as if it wanted to eat them alive. However …
The moment it stepped on the grass, it felt that something was wrong, but it was too late.
It slipped, fell on its butt, and slid all the way into the second trench. Other than the cries of agony and the bright red damage numbers, nothing else appeared.
