Chapter 100, Past

Wulin will update its annual expansion pack from July to September every year and open its new district. Telecom District 5 is called "Yulouchun", which was opened in the summer two years ago.

At that time, Jiang Shaoqing had just graduated from university and worked as a sales company in Changsha. He had never played online games before. The reason why he learned about the game "Wulin" was because the alumni group built by middle school classmates had been talking about this game for several consecutive days. Many people also posted screenshots of various games, discussing copies, genres, and tasks...

Seeing that the students were having a very lively discussion, Jiang Shaoqing asked out of curiosity: "Is this an ancient style online game developed in China?"

The small black number five characters he typed out soon became submerged in the screen of various color fonts and pictures of a group of people.

Jiang Shaoqing also felt that his problem was a bit mentally retarded, so he stopped asking and dived silently to watch them chat.

Looking at the screenshots of the game you posted, his first impression was: the scenery and character of this game are very beautiful and attractive.

Unexpectedly, a private chat message suddenly popped up in the lower right corner, which was sent by a man named Cema Jianghu: "Are you interested in this game? Come to the new district and I will take you."

Jiang Shaoqing was a little confused and asked, "Who are you?"

The world of ​​Chima: “…………………”

The other party was obviously depressed by this question, with a large string of ellipsis.

After a long time, a blood-spouting expression was sent over there, followed by three words: "Your deskmate."

Jiang Shaoqing then realized that the high school alumni group all included his classmates from high school. He didn't like the excitement, so he rarely spoke in the group, and usually dived to watch everyone chat. These old classmates did not modify the group's business card, and everyone's online names were messy, so that Jiang Shaoqing did not recognize who the other party was for a while.

Cema Jianghu followed and said: "Don't tell me you don't remember."

Jiang Shaoqing blushed when he was said and quickly replied: "Of course I remember, it's Xu Ce?"

The other party called the word "Yeah".

Xu Ce, Jiang Shaoqing's three-year high school deskmate.

The year he graduated from high school, he went abroad with his parents, and then lost contact. He hadn't seen each other for a few years. Although he was a little bit apart, he wouldn't forget him. After all, he was a person with a strong sense of existence. When he was in middle school, he was a celebrity in the school. He was tall and handsome, and he had good grades. Jiang Shaoqing sat next to him and could only be a green leaf for him. However, Xu Ce's personality was very arrogant and domineering. Jiang Shaoqing was always cautious when he got along with him, but this could still make this ancestor angry. Xu Ce was inexplicably as if the wind was passing through the border. Jiang Shaoqing felt extremely headache.

What impressed me most about Xu Ce was the day when I graduated from high school and returned to school to fill out my application.

At noon that day, it suddenly started to rain heavily. Jiang Shaoqing did not bring an umbrella. After filling out his application, he hid under the eaves to shelter from the rain.

Xu Ce walked out of the teaching building and saw Jiang Shaoqing, and walked to him and asked, "What school did you fill in?"

Jiang Shaoqing said: "What about you, the local University of Science and Technology?"

Xu Ce was silent for a moment before saying, "I am going abroad."

Jiang Shaoqing looked up at him in surprise and asked, "Do you go abroad to study? Where to go?"

Xu Ce whispered: "British, maybe not coming back."

Jiang Shaoqing said: "Oh, Britain, it's pretty good."

Xu Ce: "..."

The boy suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed Jiang Shaoqing's shoulder hard, staring at him fiercely like a wild beast, saying word by word: "I may not come back in the future, we may never meet again... Do you understand?"

Jiang Shaoqing was so hard that his bones were almost broken by the force of his fingers. He frowned and said, "It's good to immigrate abroad, why are you angry?"

Xu Ce: "..."

The fingers tightly clasped on the shoulders suddenly loosened like a force. Xu Ce glanced deeply at Jiang Shaoqing and turned around and left.

Jiang Shaoqing felt confused.

It rained very heavily that day. Before leaving, Xu Ce stuffed an umbrella into Jiang Shaoqing's hand, but rushed out directly under the eaves. His shirt was soon soaked by the rain, and it was tightly pressed against his body, outlining the young man's slender and strong body curves.

For some reason, when the boy left in the rain with his head hanging down, his tall back seemed to feel indescribable loneliness.

That scene has always remained in Jiang Shaoqing's mind.

He always felt that Xu Ce had not finished what he said that day, but he still couldn't figure out what he said wrongly to make Xu Ce angry.

Xu Ce is a proud and conceited person. He is like a lonely wild wolf in the forest. His eyes are as sharp as a sword and he has a fearful anger. It seems that if he doesn't go to his will, his sharp teeth will be bitten into pieces...

During the three years he spent with him, Jiang Shaoqing actually never regarded him as a friend. Although he was a deskmate, they did not have much common language. Jiang Shaoqing kept a distance from Xu Ce carefully, afraid that he would make the person angry again. At that time, Jiang Shaoqing just helped the girl he knew in the next class pass a letter to him, but the man got angry for no reason. In anger, he swept all the books on the table to the ground, causing Jiang Shaoqing's homework book to be pulled in half...

Although he didn't say it, Jiang Shaoqing always felt that Xu Ce was a little crazy.

Maybe it's mania? Otherwise, why do you keep losing your temper at him?

However, on the day of graduation, the boy stuffed the umbrella to him and rushed into the rain without saying a word. Jiang Shaoqing held the umbrella with the other person's body temperature in his hand, watching Xu Ce leave his sight step by step in the rain... The boy's tall back with his head hanging made Jiang Shaoqing feel a little uncomfortable.

Did you miss something?

Unfortunately, he was too young at that time, so he had no idea what Xu Ce cares about him meant.

...

After many years of contact, he almost didn't recognize the other party's QQ nickname. Jiang Shaoqing felt a little guilty and asked, "Are you still abroad?"

Xu Ce said: "I've returned to China and I'm in Shanghai."

Jiang Shaoqing asked: "Have you worked?"

"Work at my dad's company." Xu Ce paused, then typed and asked, "Where are you? Still in Changsha?"

Jiang Shaoqing said: "Well, I just graduated and worked."

The two were silent for a moment, and Xu Ce sent another game screenshot on the QQ window: "Are you interested in this online game? If you are interested, come to the new district to find me, Yulouchun, Telecom District 5. My name is still Cema Jianghu."

After saying that, he added: "I'll take you to upgrade."

Jiang Shaoqing was upset by the work at that time. He also became interested in the game when he looked at the screenshots posted in the group. So he downloaded the Wulin client that night and logged into Yulouchun, Telecom District 5.

A novice who plays an online game for the first time was confused by the twenty-four genres and didn't know what to choose when creating a character. Finally, he fell in love with Wudang in the sect preview and thought that Wudang's blue and white Taoist robe looked very handsome, so he created a Wudang account called "Sword Shadow Wuhen".

After entering the game, he found Xu Ce and added a friend. Xu Ce immediately ran to the novice village to take him.

Jiang Shaoqing originally wanted to say, don’t worry about me, I will do my own tasks, but Xu Ce is stubborn like a cow and doesn’t reason with you at all…

Jiang Shaoqing had no choice but to follow him helplessly and see him clear all the monsters cleanly with one knife.

At that time, the fifth district of Telecom was open for more than a month, and when Jiang Shaoqing entered the game, Xu Ce had already reached the level.

With a full-level expert, Jiang Shaoqing's upgrade speed is like a rocket. He can reach level 70 in less than a month. He washes off all his skill points and then concentrates on playing Wudang Sword Sect. His hand speed reaches 220, which is the top level among online game players. With Xu Ce, he can get started with the game very quickly and quickly become a master in the arena. He rarely loses when planting a flag at the gate of the main city.

Xu Ce built a guild in the game called "Passman Alliance", which specially recruited those folk masters without a large guild. The total number of guilds is less than 50, and many of them are his buddies and classmates. Xu Ce likes to be alone, and has a arrogant personality and hates all guild diplomacy that is vain and condemned. Therefore, the "Passman Alliance" does not deal with any guild, just like an independent group of relatives and friends. A group of people just form teams to play in the arena, not care about the world, nor compete for any boss in the world.

There are actually many relatives and friends guilds with a small number of people in the game. Most of them are dungeon casual parties. Players who want to play PVP are still used to finding large guilds to join.

——But what is shocking is that this "Passenger Alliance" guild with less than 50 people was even alarmed by the professional circle!

The reason for alarming the professional circle is that Xu Ce’s Mingjiao account, “Zema Jianghu”, reached the top ten in the national server singles list at the end of the seventh season.

The Wulin rankings are counted based on the results of the entire district and server. For example, Haina Baichuan ranked first in the Tangmen competition list, and Yese ranked first in the Emei competition list - professional players have their own large, small, and more than 80% of the top 100 competitive events are professional players from major teams.

Whenever a folk master rushes into the top 100, it will attract the attention of professional spies, let alone the top ten!

What a terrible winning rate in the top ten of the national server?!

The qualifying matches in the game are not only the team battle mode of 6v6, but also the 1v1 ring challenge mode, but the 1v1 mode has too few extra points, and few people play, so most people still prefer to play team battles.

But Xu Ce is different. He likes to play 1v1, and he has played singles matches more than 10,000 times. Therefore, his ring match points rank in the top ten in the national server singles list.

Such terrifying points and winning rate naturally attracted widespread attention in the professional circle. Many teams sent people to offer sky-high prices to pull him to play in the professional league, but Xu Ce refused with the simple and rough word "no interest".

The spies who were blocked by "no interest" became more and more interested in the Ming Cult.

After investigation, everyone was shocked to find that although there were less than 50 people in this "Passenger Alliance" guild, everyone's arena actually reached the sixth level of war, and many people even rushed to the seventh level! Even the elite groups of large-scale guilds such as Seven Star Grass and Tongque, which are the sixth level of the level of the sixth level, can be seen how powerful Xu Ce's guild is!

Although this guild has a small number of people, it is all the elite among the elites!

However, the experts in the Passerby League are not interested in professional leagues and do not pay much attention to official events. They play arenas in their spare time. In reality, they all have their own jobs, so they are considered a small group of folk masters.

The spies from all major teams are really unwilling to give up!

It’s a pity that there are so many experts who can’t speak! It’s as heartbreaking as if there is a big piece of cake in front of you but you can’t eat it at all!

So, for a while, many undercover agents were involved in the passers-by and used various methods to win over these experts to play the league, almost provoking disputes within the guild. Xu Ce was furious and directly closed the guild application and friend application, and said, "If you want to play the game, you will withdraw from the guild immediately."

As the president of the guild, Xu Ce is extremely authoritative in the Passerby Alliance, and everyone respects him and calls him "Boss".

This guild was originally founded as a civil organization. Everyone listened to Xu Ce's words. Everyone knew about the president's rejection of the professional circle. Therefore, everyone followed Xu Ce's method and closed all the friends' applications to chat with strangers to prevent harassment.

However, Xu Ce made many plans and could not be defended, but he did not expect that someone would start from Jiang Shaoqing beside him!

The spies of the Qiankun Team approached Jiang Shaoqing in various ways and became friends with Jiang Shaoqing.

"It's a waste not to play in the professional league at your level."

"It's not that I'm bragging. Your skills are among the best in the professional circle. As long as you go to the training camp to train, you will definitely become a first-class expert."

"It would be best if you could tell the brother named Ace. If you join the Qiankun team together, our team will definitely be full of wings!"

"Don't worry about salary, it must be higher than your current salary. Your job is not going well, right? In the future, playing games is your own job, you can play games every day, and you can make money, how great!"

Jiang Shaoqing was very moved by being said.

Since entering the martial arts world, he has gradually fallen in love with this game and found that there are more and more fun things about this game. It is not like Xu Ce who rejects the professional circle. Jiang Shaoqing is actually very interested in the professional circle. He has always been paying attention to the competitions of major teams and dreams of becoming a professional player...

Although his level is a little worse than Xu Ce, he is also a top-notch master in online games, otherwise he would not have reached the seventh level in the arena.

I saw many spies from the team coming to look for Xu Ce before, but Xu Ce was blocked by Xu Ce because he was "not interested". Jiang Shaoqing didn't say it, but he was a little envious of Xu Ce. If he was as powerful as Xu Ce, would there be a team coming here?

——I didn’t expect that a team really took a fancy to him.
To be continued...
