Chapter 289 Suit?
The war between the Complex and the Arc began without warning and ended suddenly.
However, the dust had settled in one night, and then the Light Arc announced a settlement with the consortium later, revoking the pursuit of the murderer. However, anyone with discerning eyes could see that the Light Arc had achieved its strategic purpose of attacking the consortium. Even if Chen Xixi protected the four involved, it would not be possible for the consortium to restore its previous grand occasion.
In this war, who is the loser and who is the winner can be seen at a glance.
In fact, the current consortium is less than one-tenth of its original size, and it is mainly independent player groups. The guilds that we worked together before basically retired before midnight. After the incident, they were embarrassed to come back with shamelessness. Moreover, everyone took advantage of this incident and saw the attitude of the light arc clearly. They did not allow the third largest player force in the city to appear again, so naturally no one was willing to touch this bad luck.
Zhang Heng met Chen Xixi in the cafeteria at night. She sat alone in the corner and was eating a bowl of barbecue rice. Because of the rumors on campus, no one was eating with her anymore. Even the people in her dormitory were consciously alienated from her. Now she was like she was carrying some kind of plague on her.
However, Chen Xixi herself didn't take it too seriously. She had too many things to worry about. She really didn't have the energy to deal with such trivial matters. She was still flipping through some books while eating.
As a result, a plate was placed opposite her. Chen Xixi seemed a little surprised and raised her head and saw that the person was Zhang Heng.
"Are you reading Si Xiu?" Zhang Heng pointed to the book at Chen Xixi's hand.
"Yes, I've lost a lot before, so I'll make up when I have time." Chen Xixi said, pausing and adding, "There will always be a day when this game ends, and we will return to normal life in the end, right?"
"I hope so," Zhang Heng asked Chen Xixi with his eyes whether he could sit opposite him, and the latter nodded to him.
Zhang Heng sat down, "If this matter comes to an end, what do you want to do after graduation?"
"Am I?"
Zhang Heng rarely saw a look of embarrassment on Shen Xixi's face, "I want to open a pet store. This is a dream I had when I was about ten years old, but I have not told anyone else, even rabbits, Li Bai and the others don't know. You are the first person to know. Remember to come to my store when you go."
"It must be, remember to tell me when you open the business."
"What about you?" Chen Xixi took a sip of millet porridge and asked again.
"I don't know. I seem to have not thought about this kind of thing carefully. Before, I just wanted to live my life according to my own wishes... Now, there is actually no change. Maybe I will go on a trip first. There are too many places we have not been to and have never seen in this world. If possible, I want to go and take a look." Zhang Heng said.
"Then I wish you a smooth journey in advance." Chen Xixi picked up the millet porridge.
"I wish your pet store a prosperous business." Zhang Heng replied with a bowl of seaweed soup.
The two of them didn't talk much about games, except that because this place is a public place after all, people pass by from time to time, perhaps it is difficult to tell others what happened to them.
Five minutes later, Chen Xixi finished the barbecue rice in the bowl, wiped his mouth, and looked at Zhang Heng. The latter was almost finished. I don’t know if he had been with Sherlock Holmes for a long time. Zhang Heng’s eating speed has slowed down now. In the words of the former, this is the way of eating a gentleman, but eating like this is not without benefits. Eating slowly is more thorough and chewing the food and easier to digest. Moreover, Zhang Heng’s eating is very rhythmic now. Chen Xixi originally looked at the opposite side by accident, but he actually looked a little fascinated. I hope he could eat for a longer time.
It was not until Zhang Heng put down his chopsticks that Chen Xixi realized it, but the question she wanted to ask suddenly couldn't ask.
Afterwards, Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows to Chen Xixi, "I've finished eating, and there are still elective courses tonight. Let's take a step first. Take care of yourself."
"So too." Chen Xixi watched Zhang Heng stand up and walked towards the recycling window with the plate. She did suspect that the mysterious sniper who caused a lot of trouble to the light arc last night was Zhang Heng, because after forming a consortium, she also met many friends, but there was no one with excellent marksmanship and melee combat. Zhang Heng's strength has always been a mystery. Although Chen Xixi had not experienced the dungeon with Zhang Heng, the two had briefly joined forces to solve the curse of Han Lu's [Dream of Death].
However, the situation was quite special. After entering the dream, everyone separated. Zhang Heng and Xiupunos were together. Chen Xixi didn't know why Xiupunos gave up and left, but I think it must be related to Zhang Heng.
In other words, among so many players, only Zhang Heng has successfully unlocked the helpless [Dream of Death], which even the three major guilds have.
However, when Chen Xixi was having dinner together just now, he was a little shaken. Justitiya said that the mysterious sniper had unimaginable evil, but with the long contact between Chen Xixi and Zhang Heng, she could be sure that Zhang Heng's behavior might not be absolutely justice, but the latter does have his own set of principles of conduct, with bottom lines and principles, and it is far from being evil.
Therefore, Chen Xixi finally didn't ask, just looked at Zhang Heng's back as he left.
…………
Because the afternoon class and evening class are not long, Zhang Heng went to the classroom after dinner. He didn't want to tell Chen Xixi that he was the mysterious sniper last night. First, he didn't mean to get the other party's thanks, second, his actions were interrupted after only half of last night. In theory, he couldn't help much, so it would be better not to mention such things.
However, after class in the evening, Zhang Heng ran to the parking lot outside the school and opened the trunk of the polo. He risked his life to help Chen Xixi and the union. He even fought against the arc of light for the whole night, but he did not lose anything. During this period, he killed several operation teams of the arc of light and found some game props from them.
Of course, because it is in the real world, without system prompts, he cannot accurately determine whether an item is 100% prop, and the arc of light is not left for him to clean the battlefield for a long time. He must fight quickly and can only collect props through experience.
But there is one thing Zhang Heng is certain, that is, the necklace he found from the man with wings behind him. Zhang Heng was very familiar with the pattern at the bottom. Like the [Shadow Moment] he first bought, it was the image of a crow. In addition, the [Shadow Key] he bought before, these three things obviously came from the same system, which reminded Zhang Heng of the concept of suits in the game.
