In holographic games, 80% of players will not use their own image. When Tang Muzhou first met the fat uncle in the game, he thought that there must be a gap between the image of the kind and kind fat uncle and the image in reality, but he did not expect the gap to be so big.

——The kind and friendly fat uncle in the game, is he actually a tall and handsome boy in reality?

Xie Mingzhe was so thin that he was only boneless when he was discharged from the hospital. During this period, he ate well every day. Chi Qing also made soup to supplement his nutrition every day. His body had returned to normal weight. Now he has a well-proportioned figure and is only five centimeters shorter than Tang Muzhou at 1.8 meters tall.

Today he was wearing casual pants and sneakers, with a white short-sleeved upper body, and his simple and refreshing look, looking full of vitality.

The boy's facial features are not particularly delicate, but his eyebrows are slender, his eyes are dark and bright, and his slightly thin lips will look a little naughty when they are gently raised. The combination is very sunny and handsome.

It is difficult to associate this energetic handsome guy with the fat uncle in the game. Tang Muzhou has seen many examples of the difference between the game account and himself in recent years, but the contrast between the game image and the person in the account of the Fat Uncle is the most surprising thing about him.

It can be said to be an unexpected surprise.

Isn’t it just a surprise that there is a lively and handsome junior brother suddenly?

Tang Muzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up and down at the junior brother in front of him, and said with a smile: "Don't you plan to introduce yourself? Or do you want me to continue calling you...Fat Uncle?"

Xie Mingzhe was also quite thick-skinned and scratched his head and said, "Uncle Fat is just the ID in my game. My name is Xie Mingzhe, just call me Xiao Xie. Please take care of me in the future!"

The crisp sound sounds quite pleasant, especially the name "Senior Brother".

Tang Muzhou raised his lips and opened the door and let the two of them enter the room.

Chen Qianlin had heard the news a long time ago. After the two entered the house, he looked at Chen Xiao and asked, "Why did you suddenly come?"

Chen Xiao smiled flatteringly and moved the precious pine tree to him and said, "Brother, happy birthday, this is your favorite variety. I dragged people to search for half a year before I found it."

"There is no need to be so much trouble." When Chen Qianlin looked at the plants, he had joy in his eyes, and he obviously liked this gift very much.

Brother was happy, and Chen Xiao was of course even more happy, but he was not easy to show it, so he suppressed the impulse in his heart and called Xie Mingzhe over: "Xiao Xie has also prepared a gift for you."

Xie Mingzhe carried the four framed paintings to his master: "Master, I just drew this by myself. It's not very good. Don't dislike it. Happy birthday!"

Chen Qianlin reached out to take it. Seeing that the four paintings were quite heavy, Tang Muzhou stepped forward and took it for him, placed it side by side on the dining table next to him, looked at Xie Mingzhe with interest and asked, "Can junior brother still draw?"

Xie Mingzhe said: "I have been studying art since I was a child and have been studying for twelve years."

The four paintings are framed with sandalwood frames and are not sealed, so Tang Muzhou saw the contents of the painting at a glance—

The first one is the cold plum in the snow, the second one is the orchid in the valley, the third one is the green bamboo, and the fourth one is the yellow chrysanthemum. The main colors of the four paintings are red, blue, green, and yellow, but they do not use too bright colors, but instead lighten the colors. The style and composition are particularly unified and coordinated. Even those who don’t know how to draw can see at a glance that this is a complete set of pictures, which has a very "series" of sets of pictures.

Tang Muzhou was puzzled: "Is there any special meaning to send four pictures of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums together?"

The Four Gentlemen's statement was passed down from ancient China. Xie Mingzhe can't remember the specific documents clearly. He only knows that later generations often use this set of pictures to describe noble character. Even in the 21st century, many educated homes would have a set of Four Gentlemen in their study. Whether the owner is really ambitious or to show off, everyone recognizes this tradition of "using things to illustrate ambition".

Unfortunately, in this world, all the traditions about the "Four Gentlemen" have been lost. When you see the four pictures placed together, you will only think that these are four plants and will not make more associations.

Xie Mingzhe was not convenient to explain the allusion of the "Four Gentlemen", so he made up a reasonable reason and said: "Plum blossoms symbolize arrogance and unyielding, orchids represent elegance and wisdom, green bamboo is a humble gentleman, and chrysanthemums are masters and hermits. I think these four kinds of flowers are particularly in line with the characteristics of the master, so I drew a set of pictures to give them to the master as a birthday gift."

Three people: “………………”

When the three of them looked at him with strange eyes, Xie Mingzhe felt embarrassed and touched his nose and said, "I, did I say something wrong?"

Tang Muzhou pressed his fist against his lips to suppress his smile. After two seconds, he adjusted his expression. Looking at Xie Mingzhe, he praised seriously: "This is the best flattery I have ever heard. My junior brother is good at eloquence."

Xie Mingzhe: "..."

This is not flattery! Can a senior brother not tease my stand in person?

However, after thinking about it carefully, Xie Mingzhe also felt that his painting style was clear and that people in this world didn't know the "Four Gentlemen". He said this and it was indeed a very similar thing to flattery, and it was a gorgeous rainbow flattery. I guess his master was shocked by his flattery.

A proud, elegant, humble gentleman, a hermit master, Xie Mingzhe thought it was really embarrassing to praise people in person.

He looked up at the master nervously and found that Chen Qianlin was very calm, and a very shallow smile appeared on his face, and his voice became gentle: "The meaning of these four paintings... I like it very much. I will hang it in the study to collect it. Thank you for your gift, I'm really worried."

Xie Mingzhe resisted the embarrassment and scratched his head and said, "Just as long as your master likes it."

Chen Xiao coughed lightly and turned the topic to the main business: "Brother, since Muzhou is here, why not have a meal together? Or at home?"

"Go out to eat, I'll do it today. I'll change my clothes later." Chen Qianlin was wearing very loose pure cotton and soft home clothes at home. He couldn't go out like this, so he went to the bedroom to find a clean set of clothes to change.

These three people came here to celebrate his birthday in person, and Chen Qianlin really didn't expect that he almost forgot his birthday, but the three people remembered so clearly that they even gave him three big gifts.

Tang Muzhou drew a flower picture, which merged dozens of flowers together in an extremely clever way, which was very complex and exquisite; the four pictures given by Xie Mingzhe were profound in meaning and very in line with Chen Qianlin's mood; Chen Xiao himself can't draw, and the precious varieties bought at high prices are also one of Chen Qianlin's favorite and most want to collect.

Chen Qianlin felt a little hot in his heart, knowing that these three people really care about him.

Outside the door, Tang Muzhou continued to look at his junior brother with a smile. Xie Mingzhe's cheeks were hot when he saw him, and he clarified: "I'm really not flattering. Master can't come empty-handed on his birthday, right? Senior brother, didn't you bring a gift?"

Tang Muzhou held back his smile and opened the gift box to show them to the two of them.

Xie Mingzhe was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him. There were countless varieties of flowers on the layers, and they were cleverly integrated together, complex and gorgeous. Xie Mingzhe couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Awesome, senior brother, have you learned art too?"

Tang Muzhou said: "I haven't learned it specifically. This is the card pattern I made in the game. It is enlarged and printed out. It is easier to draw with mental power than to use a manual pen."

Thinking of the Thousand Years of Divine Tree he once mentioned, he fused ten cards together, Xie Mingzhe couldn't help asking: "In this picture, can you fuse all the flower cards together..."

Tang Muzhou nodded: "That's right, my master is 31 years old this year, and I have just integrated thirty-one pictures." He paused and smiled and said, "Junior brother, you like character cards so much, you can also make a collection of all the characters you have ever made in the future."

Xie Mingzhe thought to himself that I probably couldn't gather together. There were 108 generals in Water Margin alone, and there were countless Three Kingdoms. Besides, the characters of the Twelve Beauties of the Red Chamber and the Zhu Bajie and the Bull Demon King in Journey to the West could not be put together, and they would become beauties and beasts.

However, Tang Muzhou's words gave him some inspiration. Perhaps when he made card sets in the later stage, he could draw such a large collection similar to "character illustrations" to organize his own ideas, so as not to have too many cards and make his thoughts confused when he comes out of the lineup.

Xie Mingzhe was thinking about it when he saw Chen Qianlin change his clothes and come out.

He wore a clean white shirt and brown slim trousers, and a pair of casual leather shoes. The hem of the shirt was tied into his pants, and a simple black belt without any pattern was tied around his waist, which made his waist look thinner.

The man who is over thirty years old has a very young appearance and a very good figure.

In the past, his body always exuded a cold and unaccessible coldness, as if he was separated from others quietly by a transparent layer of defense.

But today, he was obviously in a good mood. His clear eyes were a little warm, and there was a slight smile on his face, and his whole body became much gentler. He looked at the three of them and said, "What do you want to eat? I'll treat you to lunch."

Tang Muzhou said: "Master, please decide, I'll do whatever I want."

Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe didn’t have much food to avoid. Chen Qianlin thought for a while and said, “There is a private restaurant nearby. The environment is good and the ingredients used are all grown by ourselves. Let’s go there to eat. Within one kilometer, you can walk over directly.”

Chen Qianlin led the way in front, and the three of them immediately followed him.

The environment where he lives is really good, a bit like a paradise. Xie Mingzhe couldn't help but think that when he gets old in the future, he could come here to buy a small villa for retirement. Not only is the air fresh, but there are flowers and plants everywhere, and he feels comfortable when he looks.

Walking through a tree-lined path full of weeping willows on both sides, everyone soon arrived at the destination. Chen Qianlin should be a regular visitor here. When the waiter saw him, he immediately laughed and enthusiastically took him to the VIP private room on the second floor.

Chen Qianlin ordered the dishes carefully.

The decoration style of this private room is very small and fresh, a bit like Qianlin Restaurant in the game. There are green vines hanging on the walls and the table is also a very simple solid wood table. When Xie Mingzhe thought of this, he couldn't help asking: "Master, did you open the Qianlin Restaurant in the game?"

Chen Qianlin was a little surprised that he would ask this and looked at Tang Muzhou.

Tang Muzhou whispered: "I was fat at the auction at the beginning..." When he met the young man's bright eyes, Tang Muzhou swallowed the word "uncle" and chuckled and changed his words: "My junior brother publicly sold Lin Daiyu's card. After I took it, I asked him to meet him at Qianlin Restaurant."

Chen Qianlin knew it and nodded to Xie Mingzhe and said, "I opened Qianlin Restaurant myself and was not operated externally. It is actually a stronghold in the game. In the first and second seasons of that year, the decks were not rich enough. Nie Yuandao, Zheng Feng, Su Yang and Ling Jingtang often opened small accounts to meet there. Everyone exchanged their experiences and improved decks of each system."

Tang Muzhou added: "When my master retired, he transferred the restaurant to my name. The rent for this kind of small restaurant is not high, so I keep it all the time. When discussing things with people in the game, I will use it as a temporary reception room."

Xie Mingzhe suddenly realized.

It turns out that Qianlin Restaurant was once the strongholds of the five-series ancestors in the game. The five great gods belong to different clubs, so it is difficult to get together in reality. The game is much more convenient. We wear helmets and open a small trumpet, and teleport to Qianlin Restaurant. Everyone can meet and discuss things. Once the restaurant closes, they are not afraid of being discovered or eavesdropped.

It seems that he and Chen Qianlin were destined to be destined to be together. Before he met this great god, he had met Tang Muzhou in the restaurant run by the great god, and thus completely opened up the idea of ​​making instant cards.

The dishes were served quickly, and the four of them ate and chatted.

Halfway through the meal, Tang Muzhou asked directly: "My junior brother set up the Nirvana Guild in the game. Do you want to be a professional player and build a club by yourself?"

Xie Mingzhe glanced at Chen Xiao, the latter nodded, and then he said, "I have this idea. The Nirvana Guild was built by me and Brother Chen."

Tang Muzhou was not surprised and said to Chen Xiao: "Don't forget our agreement."

Chen Xiao's voice was low, but his eyes were firm: "I haven't forgotten. I will come back to have a real showdown with you."

Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "I'll wait for you, see you on the court."

After a moment of silence, he turned to Chen Qianlin and asked, "What are the plans for Master in the future? Should I come back together?"

Chen Qianlin said: "My mental power is no longer able to deal with high-intensity events. After thirty years old, it is normal for me to become slow in reaction. If I play the game, I may not get good results."

Xie Mingzhe was a little unwilling to accept it: "But Nie Yuandao, Ling Jingtang, Zheng Feng and others are also veteran players who debuted very early. They are still playing games. Master, don't you want to go back and give it a try?"

When he checked the information, he saw that many netizens were particularly sympathetic to Chen Qianlin. He always felt that Chen Qianlin was not lucky. He was obviously very strong, but for four seasons, other players of the same period won the championship, but he never won the championship. In the end, he had a quarrel with the Sanctuary Club due to copyright disputes and retired with regret.

Xie Mingzhe actually hopes that his master will return to the arena and make another set of brand new wooden cards, slapping Boss Shao in the face!

However, Chen Qianlin's eyes were extremely calm, as if he had been calm. He looked at Chen Xiao: "I won't go back. After so many years, I no longer have the mentality of fighting desperately when I was young. As long as you can prove yourself and bring all the cards you originally envisioned to the stadium, I will have no regrets as my brother."

Chen Xiao resisted the soreness between his nose and said in a muffled voice: "I understand."

Xie Mingzhe also wanted to say that, but suddenly met Tang Muzhou's gaze that stopped him. Xie Mingzhe had to be smarter and shut up and stop talking.

Chen Qianlin looked at Tang Muzhou and changed the topic: "Xiao Xie is about to start school soon. He is a freshman in the Department of Fine Arts of the Imperial Capital University. Your alumni is similar to your situation back then. You are also eighteen years old and you are playing formal competitions. You can compete while attending classes. How to operate the school in detail? You will help your junior brother in the future."

Tang Muzhou smiled: "It must. If you have any questions, please ask me at any time. Let's leave a phone number to each other."

What I left before was the contact information of the small account in the online game. I could only send private messages to each other through the Star Card APP, but if I leave a phone number, I can make a voice call at any time and video calls, which will be much more convenient.

Xie Mingzhe simply exchanged contact information with Tang Muzhou.

Then Chen Xiao said, "Brother, your room is ready. When will it be convenient to move in?"

He gave Xie Mingzhe a wink, and the latter immediately cooperated to assist: "Master, you live so far alone, Brother Chen has always been worried. Move here, it is more convenient to eat or something. Sister Chi Qing from our studio has a good cooking skills."

Chen Qianlin was in a good mood today, and Chen Xiao had already mentioned moving before, so he mentioned it again today, so he agreed with the flow: "Okay, I'll pack my luggage. The work I've finished, so I'll move tomorrow."

Chen Xiao was excited to go downstairs and run two laps to celebrate, but he quickly resisted the impulse and said in a trembling voice: "Great! Brother, I'll pack your luggage for you!"

Tang Muzhou looked at him meaningfully and said nothing.
Chapter completed!
