Chapter 37 Old Comics
When Gu Cheng logged out of the game, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
In the shock game, Gu Cheng had just had basic training with Master Qianye. It was past nine o'clock that Master Qianye finished the training and arranged a room for Gu Cheng, asking him to live in Qianye Temple first and then train tomorrow.
So Gu Cheng logged out first.
Taking off the VR virtual helmet, he saw Liu Jingliu still in that room.
"Sister Liu is still here?" Gu Cheng was a little surprised and asked Liu Jingliu.
"Yes, my mission is to accompany you to play games. I will not leave if you log out. How about today? It seems to have been a long time."
Liu Jingliu asked Gu Cheng.
"It's pretty smooth, there's a breakthrough." Gu Cheng said, and he suddenly remembered his strange visual sense in the game.
Liu Jingliu was very sensitive to people's emotions. When she saw Gu Cheng like this, she asked him: "What happened in the game? You can tell me that although I don't know much about playing games, I'm pretty good at miscellaneous studies. I don't know much, so I might help you."
"Oh...I'm just a little weird."
Gu Cheng said, he thought about it and told Liu Jingliu what happened today.
"What puzzles me is not the breakthrough in the game, but the strange feeling of being visual." Gu Cheng said, and he said:
"That feels like I've seen somewhere."
Liu Jingliu heard this and showed a memory-like expression. She thought for a while and said, "I also feel a little impressed by what you said... The new skills you learned in the game seem to be in the setting in an old comic."
"Old comic?"
Gu Cheng was a little surprised when he heard this.
In the generations living in Gucheng, because of the emergence of virtual real scenes, comics are no longer as popular as they were decades ago.
After all, the sense of virtual reality technology has completely exerted all the entertainment products of the movie and animation generation. In virtual reality, only close to the real background can the strongest effect be achieved. Animation and comics are the products of the two-dimensional world after all, and virtual appearance will not be more infectious than virtual reality in the real world, so they slowly decline.
Novels are better. After all, writing is the source of upstream creativity and the cost of creation is low. Although it is generally not popular, it is difficult to decline.
However, due to the impact of virtual real scenes and the difficulty in production, the industry has shrunk by at least five times, which is no longer very popular in this era.
Gu Cheng only remembers that when he was a child, he had a complete set of comics in the bookstore. In the past five or six years, the bookstore seemed to only come with software that operates VR games. Even the bookstore itself was almost replaced by virtual libraries. Comics were only available in very difficult-to-find franchise stores.
However, at this time, Gu Cheng heard Liu Jingliu's words, which evoked some memories of his childhood.
In a vague way, he seemed to remember something.
"Sister Liu, which old comic are you talking about?"
Gu Cheng asked Liu Jingliu.
"Forgot." Liu Jingliu said, and then said, "It's strange that I forgot the name of the comic, but I remember a lot of details. It was a veritable old comic. The first day of publication was 1984 in the last century, and the end date was 2019. It was drawn for thirty-five years. The author of the comic is famous for his lack of moral integrity, and he used various reasons to make a decision, or handed over the draft, and then exchanged money for mahjong."
"I was born at the end of the 2000s. When I read that comic, I was about eleven or twelve years old. I was close to the end. I was still obsessed with this comic for a while, but for some reason, when I was in my teens, I suddenly lost interest in all the comics I had read before, as well as movies, so I forgot about this."
"I remembered this when I heard you mention it today. Hey? It's so strange. I have a vague impression in the comics, but I don't have any enthusiasm at all and don't want to read it anymore. What's wrong? Am I old?"
Liu Jingliu said strangely.
Hearing Liu Jingliu say this, a flash of lightning flashed in Gu Cheng's heart. In an instant, he also remembered how his familiar visual sense came about.
"I remembered it too! I read this set of comics when I was very young! It was collected by my father in the old house!"
"He also joked to me that the author's son would also be trained to be a cartoonist. With the author's integrity, he would probably pass on this set of comics to his son. He might not be able to see the end in his lifetime. If he dies, the comics are not finished yet, I will burn a set for him in the underworld..."
Gu Cheng said to Liu Jingliu after a lit memory.
"Well, but for some reason, the author will be finished in 2019." Liu Jingliu said.
"Is it a comic... the world background setting of the game is drawn from the settings of that comic? Or did you buy the copyright adaptation of the comic?"
"I don't know, do you need information on this?"
Liu Jingliu asked Gu Cheng.
Her responsibilities are actually similar to those of the secretary. Although she has no affiliation with Gu Cheng, if Gu Cheng needs intelligence support, she can be found.
"No need." Gu Cheng thought for a while and shook his head.
Although I discovered where my visual sense came from, Gu Cheng always felt that the world background of the game may not be as simple as the comic background setting.
However, although he had some doubts, it had nothing to do with what he was doing now, and Gu Cheng didn't want to waste his resources too much.
"Sister Liu, I'll go back first."
Gu Cheng took off the electrodes on his body, greeted Liu Jingliu, and left the virtual department building.
After riding his BMW motorcycle, Gu Cheng returned to his home in more than 20 minutes.
I bought a fast food downstairs and took it upstairs.
In this era, if you feel that you don’t have time to eat, you can buy nutrition pills directly.
Nutrition pills are pills the size of thumb cover. They are rich in all the vitamins and nutrients needed by the human body in a day. They are also compressed foods. If you eat one, you won’t feel uncomfortable if you don’t eat for a day.
This thing also has upgraded products, concentrated nutrition pills, which can automatically decompress according to the stomach acid state and the amount of water you drink. Take one pill for three days. There are also super concentrated nutrition pills that can make people survive a week. They are nicknamed Fasting Pills online.
During the day, Gu Cheng took a regular nutritional pill directly because he was on the machine, but he became a little hungry at night. In addition, the nutritional pills can only meet the basic needs of the human body, and he still needs to eat some regular meals to supplement it.
After Gu Cheng returned home, he had a meal first and then checked his email address.
Mr. Yu sent an email to Gu Cheng, saying that he had received the boxing gloves mailed by Gu Cheng. He estimated that he could sell them for about 27,000 to 35,000, and said that it would take more than ten days to operate.
Gu Cheng believed in Mr. Yu more and sent an email to say he knew.
Afterwards, Gu Cheng walked to his storage room and rummaged through it for more than half an hour.
Gu Cheng still remembers that all his father's relics were placed in the storage room, including the comics.
However, no matter how Gu Cheng searches, he cannot find this set of comics.
"Is it because of the memory again..." Gu Cheng looked at the storage room that had been completely flipped over, but did not find any traces of the comics.
...
In a blink of an eye, it was more than half a month and it was already July 23rd.
In the C7th District, in the Zhongshan Capital Arena, countless spectators were pouring out of the arena.
While walking, they were also talking about the decisive battle in the arena just now.
Among the audiences who walked out of the arena, there was a five-person group, one of which was the pink-haired Raven.
"This period of the regional competition is really exciting. The strength of the sword dominates Bahuang is indeed amazing. It's no surprise that he won the first place in this regional competition."
Next to Riven, a girl with hair curled into waves said.
"Sword Bahuang is very powerful. He has a lot of experts in the game. He has already ranked in the top 100 of the total player strength rankings. After this regional competition in C7, his ranking is even better, and he may be able to enter the top 80."
A handsome man said, with a sword on his back.
"Haha, you are a little boasting, Jianba Bahuang, aren't you a distant cousin?"
Another person said to the man with a sword on his back.
"Haha, yes, although I am just a distant relative with him, I played big together when I was a child and had a good relationship. I talked to him before, and he said that after winning the first place in the C7 area, he would take me to upgrade for a while."
Some handsome men said proudly.
As he said that, he looked at Riven on the side and said, "How is it, Riven, do you want to go with me? With my cousin's strength, it doesn't matter if you bring someone with you. Your level is only level 30, right? Go upgrade with us!"
As he said that, he looked at Riven with anticipation.
"Yuyouyou, I only invite Ruiwen, not us. You are Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it!"
Hearing that he said, several girls around Riven all started to cheer.
The handsome little man smiled reservedly, looking forward to looking at Riven.
"Ah...no, I have to wait for someone..." Ruiwen said hesitantly.
When the handsome little man heard this, his expression changed slightly. He said, "Are you waiting for your game to meet that person? You want me to see it, it's better if that person doesn't wait. Didn't he say he wants to participate in this regional competition? But we checked the list of participants and there was no such person at all. If I want me to see, he knew that he was weak and didn't participate at all."
"It's really boring for such a person to waste your cooking for him. I'm afraid he won't show up in the future, so he'd better go with me."
The handsome little man was a little jealous and said to Raven.
Ruiwen was about to reply, but suddenly, she saw a man in a fiery red costume not far ahead, smiling and greeting him.
That person is nothing but Gu Cheng!
"A sword!" Ruiwen's eyes suddenly lit up, her face filled with a smile, and she ran towards Gu Cheng.
Chapter completed!
