Chapter 25 Reality? Illusion?
?
In less than a day, the village chief of Novice Village No. 60001 had already reached a heart-to-heart level, which was undoubtedly an excellent state for his novice village career during this period. Ye Tianxie bid farewell to the village chief and entered the blacksmith shop of the blacksmith Lao Wang.
"Hello Uncle Blacksmith, there are 500 wolf teeth in total, which should be enough for you to use for a while." Ye Tianxie smiled and piled up all the wolf teeth collected today in front of the blacksmith Lao Wang. The blacksmith Lao Wang stopped the forging hammer in his hand and exclaimed in anger: "A brave man from another world, you once again made me feel your bravery and enthusiasm. Such high-quality forging materials really make me grateful and I don't know what to say."
"Ding... You successfully completed the task 'The Blacksmith Lao Wang' and gained experience of 1200. A 5-level intern assassin's leggings. Since you exceeded the commission of the Blacksmith Lao Wang, the Blacksmith Lao Wang's favorability to you +15."
"Ding... The blacksmith Lao Wang's impression of you has been upgraded to a heart-to-heart level."
The blacksmith's commission was completed more than ten times. Although the material rewards did not change at all, Ye Tianxie was greatly satisfied with the increase in favorability by 15 points.
Ye Tianxie was about to turn around and leave, when the blacksmith Lao Wang's voice suddenly came from behind: "Can the enthusiastic brave man let me see the ring on your hand? From that ring, I felt the flow of mysterious power."
Ye Tianxie quickly turned around, took down the ancient life ring and put it in front of the blacksmith Lao Wang. The blacksmith Lao Wang picked up the ring, looked through it carefully for a while, and looked up and said, "Sure enough, this is a ring with mysterious power, but because it existed too old, it can no longer show its full ability. The enthusiastic brave man, how to hand it over to me? After my reforging, I have the confidence to make it stronger. This can be regarded as a meager reward for you to awaken my wife and help me so much."
"Of course." Ye Tianxie smiled calmly, but he was so excited that he wanted to hold the blacksmith Old Wang and kiss him... The favorability is that this thing is so loving!
"Thank you for your trust. I need half a day to dig out its power. After half a day, you come over again. Maybe you will surprise you." The blacksmith Lao Wang said with a smile.
"OK."
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Ye Tianxie sold a small pile of delicious fruits in the grocery store, and he ate them until his hunger level was zero. Finally, he found that each type left one for Guoguo. Having said that, Guoguo has never come out since he returned to the moment of eternity, and probably maybe he had overslept.
Ye Tianxie glanced at the time, closed his eyes and said silently: "Get off the line."
The world in front of him was spinning. When his vision recovered, he saw the familiar wall. Time had already pointed to eight o'clock in the evening. He naturally felt hungry when he had not eaten for eight hours. He sat up straight, picked up the remote control at hand and turned on the TV, then got up and prepared to find something to eat... However, the news reports in the TV screen suddenly stopped, and his brows tightened unconsciously.
"......At 7:30 pm today, Prous, the research and publisher of "Fate" World, suddenly died in his home. The cause of death is unknown. An emergency investigation is currently underway. Based on Prous' expression before his death and the suicide note confirmed by him at hand, it was initially determined to be suicide..."
Prous... dead!?
Major media in the world are reporting this amazing news in great detail. No one expected that when the world of "Fate" conquered almost all humans in the world in less than a day, its founder died on this day... The report mentioned that no matter what part of his body is inside and outside, any organ, no sign of damage, and there is no arbitrary type of lethal substance in his body, but Prous was strangely gone. The world's top doctor tried to use the most advanced pacemaker to restore his heartbeat, but it didn't work at all.
He was handed with a suicide note, which was very long, and the most critical sentences were: "...The number of online games far beyond any virtual game in history proved the success of "Fate". My greatest wish in my life has finally been fulfilled, and I can end this not-so-excellent life with relief. Although I am not in the world, "Fate" will never fall. Alpha has returned to his hometown, and he will control everything in "Fate" in a distant place..."
The last line of the suicide note is a few big words written in dark red ink: "Please cherish your...destiny!"
The last striking and weird sentence triggered discussion and speculation around the world. Various conjectures derived from this sentence almost filled the entire online world.
His eyes were frozen on the peaceful expression before his death on TV. The faint smile did not have nostalgia for life, but was a kind of satisfaction and relief. Ye Tianxie's mind echoed in his mind a few words from Prolos at the last press conference at noon. He thought for a long time and whispered: "Prolos, what exactly do you want to say, but you dare not say it clearly?"
"Oh la la... I'm sleeping so well. Does the master miss me... Huh? What's the place?"
When Ye Tianxie heard this crisp and familiar voice, he always remained calm in danger, as if he had seen an alien. His expression was dull, his whole body was stiff, and he completely petrified there.
Hallucination... hallucination... hallucination!! It must be hallucination!
But a ball of white light floated out his self-suggestion.
The white light ball was rising, rising to a level with his sight. Suddenly, the white light dissipated. A small girl turned around gracefully in the air, with her dark hair and snow-white skirt flying gently. A very delicate little face reflected in Ye Tianxie's dull gaze.
"Huh? Master, what's wrong with you? Why do you look at me like this? Do you miss me too much?" Guoguo walked forward a little, held her face with her hands, and made a cute and shy look. Seeing that Ye Tianxie was still dull, she bulged her cheeks and tentatively poked his forehead with her hands: "Yah, Master..."
The touch from his forehead made Ye Tianxie shudder all over his body, and finally his soul returned to his body. He shook his head suddenly, stared at Guoguo with his eyes tightly, and at the same time, he touched the forehead that Guoguo had just touched... and then he shook his head suddenly... Guoguo still had an inquiring expression in front of him.
Hallucination...
Isn't it an illusion...
What is that!! Is the world in chaos? Why did this little guy appear here... What happened!
Ye Tianxie stretched out his hand and held her body in the palm of her hand with her hands in a scream of Guoguo. The soft and soft touch on his hands would not be fake, and there would be no such real illusion in the world.
Guoguo, who was held, carefully moved his body in his palm, raised his head, and said nervously and pitifully: "Master... Is Guoguo too sleepy... making you angry..."
"Guoguo," Ye Tianxie stared at her and said seriously: "You should answer my question seriously... Who are you and why can you come here from the game world!"
"Huh?" Guoguo blinked her eyes and looked at him. After reacting for a while, she covered her mouth with a "ah" sound. Her eyes widened, and her face showed a big panic expression. She murmured in a low voice: "Here...Here...Is this another world...Woo, I seem to have been sleeping too much, and I ran out without paying attention to which world this is. No wonder the smell is so strange...Woo, what should I do? I shouldn't have come out so early, Woo...What should I do..."
Her pitiful whimpering sound as if she was talking to herself, Ye Tianxie heard it without any loss... It turned out that she had come here accidentally...
This little...
Ye Tianxie sat down on the sofa, and the shock in his heart could not stop for a long time. He said helplessly: "Guoguo, since you like calling me master so much, you should listen to me. If you hide everything from me, I might become very angry."
"Woo woo..." Guoguo shook her head vigorously. She raised her head timidly, let go of her little hand covering her lips, and looked at him with watery eyes wide open: "I want to eat lollipops."
Thump! Ye Tianxie fell to the ground.
