Real world, Sioux City.

In the early morning, the warm sunshine fell on the Sucheng landmark building "Sucheng Gate". In the cafe on the top floor of Sucheng Gate, two stunning women sat face to drink coffee and had breakfast. One had a delicate face, a gentle smile, the other had a graceful figure and long legs. It was Shen Xingchen and Leng Yan in the game.

Shen Xingchen held the spoon in his left hand and gently stroked the operation board with one hand, bringing out screenshots from the game and some lists in the database.

"How about it?"

Leng Yan smiled and said, "How are you doing with Su Xinghe recently? Have you made any progress?"

"progress?"

Shen Xingchen glanced at her with beautiful eyes and couldn't help but smile: "Where does the progress start? Miss Xu? I am just an alumni and I have no relationship, and he is not my favorite person."

Leng Yan's mouth tilted: "But Su Xinghe is not very enthusiastic to you. The dignified leader of the Xinghe Guild has such a high voice in the national server. Some people have described him as "born as a king". Since Yue Heng presided over a hundred years, the real king in our national server is still He Xi Ding Muchen..."

"Yeah..."

Shen Xingchen looked gentle and smiled, "It was people more than a hundred years ago. At that time, people were so pure when they played games. Just to just play games, they could just raise their operations, tactics, and consciousness to the limit. And now, what is the second world and the meta-universe, it is just a virtual world resource plundering game. In essence, people still eat people, but they just don't bleed."

"Okay!"

Leng Yan chuckled: "My world is sober, Shen Xingchen, sent such a cool hypersonic vertical takeoff and landing so early to Ningcheng to take me over for coffee and breakfast. Could it be just for the sake of being cynical?"

"That's not, there's something else."

Shen Xingchen smiled slightly: "Ayan, although we met friends only after the internal test of "Tianxia",... I just like you very much. We got along well at first sight, so as good sisters, there are some things I shouldn't say, but I still have to say."

"oh?"

Leng Yan took a bite of Tiramisu, looked up at her, and smiled and said, "Tell me, you can say anything that is good or bad. I'm mentally prepared. I'm so angry that I'll eat a few more bites."

"Yeah..."

Shen Xingchen lowered his head slightly and saw the majestic front of his chest. He almost couldn't even see the menu when he ordered the dishes. She felt a little embarrassed and her face turned red. You said that it would be enough. Who made you grow up so old? You are not going to compete? She coughed, concealed her embarrassment and said, "Ayan, do you particularly like the Death Camp Commander on the Snowy Land Tianchi, the person named Lin Zhao?"

"Suddenly asked this..."

Leng Yan's pretty face turned red in an instant: "What are you going to do!"

“It’s meaningless.”

Shen Xingchen pursed his red lips and said, "You are a person living in the real world. He is an NPC in the game. After all, he is a person from two worlds. He can't get out of the game, right? Could it be that Miss Xu, you, have been holding the game for the rest of your life and will never get out? Even if you are willing, your parents will not agree."

"I know..."

Leng Yan frowned slightly: "Thinking about it...it's really sad. If he really exists, how great would it be..."

"Don't do this..."

Shen Xingchen frowned and said softly: "Actually, you should be mentally prepared."

"What mental preparation?"

"A parting with him."

Shen Xingchen said: "The kind that is always farewell."

"ah?!"

Leng Yan was slightly stunned: "Why...?"

"Lin Zhao's fate is already destined." Shen Xingchen looked at his best friend's eyes and said, "Lin Zhao, and the NPCs of the Great Chen Dynasty of the Snowy Land Tianchi, such as Chu Huaixi, Chen Yu, Huang Tingyu, the final fate is mostly death on the battlefield, and it is death in the map of the Snowy Land Tianchi."

"Why?"

Leng Yan suddenly felt very sad, and there was almost tears in her eyes: "Why must this happen?"

"Because the layout of the world has been decided long ago."

Shen Xingchen picked up the coffee and took a sip, saying, "The entire snowy Tianchi and the entire Tianchi army are just chess pieces, or in other words, they are just pawns, and the real chess player is in Baidi City."

“…”

Leng Yan frowned slightly: "The emperor in Baidi City?"

"No, the emperor doesn't have this scheming."

Shen Xingchen opened his red lips: "The person who really plays the chess game in the world should be the Wenhou of Baidi City. Many major events that have happened before, including the expedition of Wuhou, the snowy Tianchi to defend the enemy, etc., are very likely part of his plan. When I was taking on the mission in Baidi City, I heard some related news several times. All the southern troops of the Great Shang Dynasty moved north and were stationed in the Fusu Great Wall. Half of the troops of the six major passes also appeared in the snowy Tianchi, so a battle with the four northern tribes is inevitable."

"Just relying on this, it may not mean that the Tianchi Army is dead?" Leng Yan was still unwilling to accept it.

"Listen to me."

Shen Xingchen reached out and pressed the shoulders of his best friend and said softly: "These days, the children in the town have been sent to the south, including some women without combat power, farmers, etc., to the Great Shang Dynasty. There are more than 10,000 people in total. Think about it, the Great Shang Dynasty has always regarded the descendants of the Great Chen Dynasty as thorns in his eyes. Why should we accept them? What's more, many children of the Great Chen Dynasty were sent to the best academy in the Great Shang Dynasty, so I think Chu Huaixi had actually had a deal with Wen Shuoyang."

Leng Yan felt a lot colder and said, "What kind of transaction will it be?"

"Chu Huaixi led the Tianchi Army to fight to the death with the demon clan."

Shen Xingchen pursed his red lips and said softly: "The Tianchi Army must be wiped out in exchange for the result of the descendants of the Great Chen Dynasty thriving on the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty. Wenhou Wen Shuoyang mobilized all his troops to fight the four northern tribes in the snowy Tianchi. He planned to decide the world with one battle, strangle all the main forces of the four northern tribes once and for all, and at the same time, he successfully destroyed the last army of the Great Chen Dynasty, and resolved the internal and external troubles of the Great Shang Dynasty in a war."

Leng Yan gritted her silver teeth and felt confused.

Shen Xingchen continued: "So far, what I said is just my inference and there is no strong evidence. However, if Wenhou issued an order to dispatch the Xia prisoners and refugees stationed in Fusu Great Wall to the Snowy Tianchi to participate in the war, then he would be even more sure of my idea. Wen Shuoyang's plan was very deep."

Leng Yan was very confused and pouted: "It's too complicated, I'm actually too lazy to think about it."

"Um."

Shen Xingchen nodded: "Actually, there are not many things that we players can do. After all, there are only ten people in the internal test. If we have hundreds of thousands of elite players, we may be able to control the situation, but now it is not possible. I doubt that this war in the snowy Tianchi is the final battle of the internal test. If this war is over, the internal test will be over."

"Will Lin Zhao really die?"

"Yes, a wisp of data has been wiped out."

"knew……"

Leng Yan held the coffee cup and tasted it lightly. The morning light fell on her shoulders. For some reason, today's coffee was very bitter. I'm afraid that there was no sugar added when I ordered it?

...

Tianchi Town.

In the afternoon, a young scholar carrying a bamboo box came staggering in the town. He looked less than thirty years old, with a handsome face, but a little decadent. He leaned on a hiking pole, and the bamboo box was filled with piles of sage books and some bamboo slips. It was very heavy, but he still carried the heavy bamboo box and stepped into the town step by step.

When passing Qian Street, the scholar stopped in front of the bookstore for a while. It was not until Qin Suihan walked out of the house that he slowly bowed and said, "Gu Zixi, see the uncle of the junior teacher."

"Zi Xi..."

Qin Suihan smiled slightly: "It seems that the school sent you here this time?"

"Um."

Gu Zixi nodded and chuckled: "At the twelve realms... there are not many brothers among them, so I can't let the old master fight, so I can only choose one from my generation, but those brothers are not good enough and can't beat me, so I have to do it in the end."

“Are you sure?”

"No."

Gu Zixi shook his head and smiled, "Anyway, my heart is dead, so I can fight with all my best. If I win, I will remember all my military achievements for the world. If I lose, it will be all on my head. It is my Gu Zixi who is incompetent."

“It’s actually not necessary.”

Qin Suihan said: "If you really can't get out of love, you can take it slowly. You don't have to come to the Snowy Tianchi."

“What you want.”

Gu Zixi smiled brilliantly: "It's your best to be honest... I, Gu Zixi, is the twelve realms in the school. If I don't come, it's impossible to say it. Those Taoist priests and the Mo family are still pointing at the backbone of our scholars and cursing secretly. I, Gu Zixi, are not talented, and are still willing to fight for us scholars!"

Qin Suihan couldn't help laughing: "Come in and have a little tea?"

"No, no!"

Gu Zixi held up the bamboo box from his butt and smiled: "I heard that there is a Baiweixuan in the Snowy Tianchi that has launched a delicious food called 'hot pot', and there are hot pot with wine. The more I drink it, the more I say, half of my trip to the mountain is for this, and the other half is for the demon clan."

Qin Suihan smiled and raised his hand: "Go, it's on the back street!"

"Okay, uncle, come back and play chess with me..."

"good."

...

late at night.

The young scholar placed the bamboo box on the windowsill on the second floor of Baiweixuan. He ordered a hot pot alone and drank wine while shabu-shabu, which was quite elegant and elegant. When he was half drunk, he looked at an empty chair opposite him and was suddenly a little lost. His eyes were lost. At this moment, if she was there, she would sit there and drink a glass with her.

Unfortunately, if you miss it, you will be a lifetime and you will never look back.
