an inch of light

At the novice's birth point, one after another light circles flashed, representing one after another player logging in and starting their journey of glory in the tenth district.Shen Yu, controlled by Shen Yuying, was still spinning around in place. It took her a long time just to adjust the viewing angle and familiarize herself with the key positions. Can't reach NPCs.

"I'm so anxious, why can't I make it through? Is there a server bug caused by too many people?"

"It's not a bug. The character models can't overlap. You line up from here to get in. Yes, it's here. That's the way out."

"It's disgusting. The Shankou Mountain I played in the past didn't have this problem." Complaining is nothing but complaints, Shen Yuying still honestly follows the novice's guide to do tasks, fight mobs, and learn skills.Qiao Yifan was condescending from the side, giving careful guidance, and occasionally pressing the direction keys in time, so that this trumpet named Shen Yu would not be squeezed into a corner by the crowd, or get stuck in a corner, or fall into a ditch.They are still busy clearing missions in the Novice Village, and the system has already played the first kill announcement of the Novice Dungeon Green Forest twice, and they are really angry.

"I'm going, I've finally reached level 10!" A white light flashed above Shen Yu's head on the screen, and Shen Yuying whispered excitedly.

"Well, you can learn skills now." Qiao Yifan didn't seem too excited, he was a professional player after all.

But... Shen Yuying looked at the time in the upper right corner of the screen, and it was already past two o'clock in the morning.Usually at this point, Qiao Yifan must have rested, but because she wanted to play computer games in his room, he just sat there with her all the time.She felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly turned off the game: "It's already so late, I'm going to download it, I'll continue tomorrow, go to sleep."

Qiao Yifan watched her tiptoe out of the room and switch back to the game interface.After a while, she pushed the door open again and came in: "...I knew it. I took the account card away, Qiao Yifan, don't practice the account for me, I can play by myself."

After leaving these words, Shen Yuying went to rest.Qiao Yifan pricked up his ears and listened for a while, knowing that he really left this time, he returned to the character login interface.He swiped and dragged the mouse, carefully looked around the face model of the 10-level trumpet, and finally found an angle that most resembled himself, took a screenshot, saved it, and sent it to an email.

Right now, there is only this unread email named "yy20221203" in his mailbox. The last email was dated half a year ago, and it was the registration confirmation letter for this season from the Glory Professional League.The mouse rolled over the title, but did not open it. Qiao Yifan had already familiarized the content of that email by heart.He is only one step away from being a true professional player, but he doesn't know how long he will have to wait to pass this step.

When Shen Yuying woke up again, Qiao Yifan had already left, and he had to take the plane back to City B at noon that day.There was a post-it note on the refrigerator, in Qiao Yifan's handwriting, telling her that there was custard buns in the pot, and the soy milk was in the microwave, and she could drink it in a minute and a half.Not caring about listening to her grandmother's nagging, Shen Yuying hastily washed up, sat down in front of the computer with her custard bag in her mouth, and continued to fight.

Without the off-site assistance of professional players, Shen Yuying will have a lot of trouble doing the tasks this time. She has to check the strategy and the map. A dungeon task in a skeleton cemetery, this is not something she can handle alone.She drove the mission navigation all the way to the door of the dungeon, and there was already a sea of ​​people here, all players at the tenth level were looking for a team.In the chat area in the lower left corner, all kinds of team information are swiping the screen, all of them need to be above level 18, but her Shen Yu is only level 17 and a half now.It's not that there are no trumpets who are not high enough to play cute in the channel, begging big brothers and sisters to take them, but now it is a new district, where is there any big size.

"Skeleton tomb quick brush team 4 = 1, come to someone who can make money, come quickly!"

"Skeleton tomb quick brush team 4 = 1, come to someone who can make money, come quickly!"

"Skeleton tomb quick brush team 4 = 1, come to someone who can make money, come quickly!"

Shen Yuying's eyes were almost dazzled from reading the information, and suddenly saw a player named Tian Qi send three such messages in one breath, and hurriedly threw an application for joining the team over.After a while, she was put into the team.Looking at the team list again, she almost fainted from joy. Isn't this the first kill team that the system announced just now?

As soon as she turned on the voice, she spoke a lot incoherently with excitement, expressing her strong desire to hug the thighs of the masters.The commander of the team is a 19th-level male account named Jun Moxiao, with a clear and bright voice, and there is a kind of carelessness unique to the people of City B when he speaks.Shen Yuying was bubbling with happiness, she is a complete voice control, this voice is too appetizing to her.

Excitement turned into excitement, Shen Yuying calmed down as soon as the masters started to blame, and listened to the instructions seriously, for fear that the masters would dislike her and not take her.This is the first time she has played a dungeon, and she will inevitably make some small mistakes of attracting monsters and moving positions. Fortunately, the experts in the team are very patient, and even took time to explain to her those online game terms that she did not understand. There is a value for equipment and materials.Shen Yuying was so excited, so happy, she really wanted to call Qiao Yifan to share her joy.But looking at the time, someone who was about to start training tomorrow must have gone to bed early, so he could only restrain himself.

After a few rounds of dungeons, Shen Yuying's level rose to level 20, and Lord Grim was also upgraded from what she called a master to a master.She wants to follow Tian Qi and the others to do the job transfer task, and the master wants to bring friends to brush the dungeon, so she can only add friends first, and then talk about it later.

After reaching level 20, a dungeon can only be done three times a day. Shen Yuying and the others first tried to clear the Frost Forest dungeon once with a priest named Ye Weiyang, and then followed Lord Grim twice. Only then did she finally understand how god-defying an existence like a master is in online games.

Maybe the master is also a professional player?Shen Yuying thought about it, then shook her head and denied her guess.Even a substitute player like Qiao Yifan has to train on time from [-] to [-]. If they are really professional players, how can they spend all night brushing dungeons like ordinary players?

When Shen Yu was promoted to level 21, Shen Yuying stood up and stretched, looking out the window.It was already dawn, and the sound of grandma getting up came from the bedroom next door.If you don't sleep, just wait for grandma to complain to her mother.She yawned and climbed onto the bed.Before the good boy Qiao Yifan left, he had already changed the sheets.Before he came, this was the room where Shen Yuying and her mother lived when they returned to their mother's house. She didn't have any problems with choosing seats, she fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

At this moment, Qiao Yifan got up from the bed in City B thousands of kilometers away, and the first thing he did was to open the Honor mobile app.The result of the inquiry is that the trumpet named Shen Yu in the tenth district has changed his job to become an assassin, and he is already level 21.

"Level 21...that guy didn't sleep yesterday, right?" Qiao Yifan was thinking like this, and was about to send a text message to the other party to ask, but held back.I haven't slept all night, so I must be catching up on sleep now, let's talk about it when she wakes up.

"Yifan, it's time to go!" His friend Gao Yingjie called from outside the door.

"Coming!" Qiao Yifan agreed, quickly put away his phone, and ran out the door.

This day, to many people in Glory, was just a very ordinary day.Lord Grim is just an ordinary name at the moment.But in some places, some people have experienced the peerless splendor of Sanren first.That character who only lasted for two seasons but created countless miracles, Lord Grim.

At 21 o'clock in the evening, Shen Yuying went online on time, but she was a little disappointed to find that the master was not online, so she could only go to do tasks and hand in tasks honestly.Soon, she discovered that the quick task route she found online was not fast at all—everywhere she looked, it was full of people, all of them were people, could this be made faster?She decisively chose to ask the audience outside the arena for help—"Yifan, sister, I'm level [-] today!"

"Well, I saw it." Qiao Yifan on the other end of the phone looked very happy.

"Ah, where did you read it?"

"Honor's mobile app, well, I'll send you the download link later."

"Enen, let me tell you, I met a great god in the game yesterday..." Shen Yuying finally found someone who could share the glorious deeds of the great god with her, and she blew out what happened yesterday.

Lord Grim...Qiao Yifan is sure, he has never heard of this name, maybe it is the trumpet of some senior: "What is his occupation?"

"Ah, I didn't notice... It seems that the Great Master hasn't done the task of changing jobs yet... Ah, the Great Master is online! Should I say something... Well, thanks, my God... ah, the Great Master has returned to me! God, god, god, god, god!!!"

"..."

"...cough, yes, Yifan, where should I go to level up now. The Frost Forest is full of people, so I can't beat monsters at all."

"Let me think about it," Qiao Yifan quickly opened the webpage and searched, "Can you cross levels to fight monsters now?"

"Hmm..." Shen Yuying's answer obviously lacked confidence.

"That's it...well, there is a series of errand tasks in Bulls Town, have you done it? At the end, it will give you a quest item, which can only be used within the scope of the Boneyard. After using it, the character's attributes will increase by 10% , the effect lasts for 5 minutes. You can brush those level 22 to 23 mobs there to upgrade, as long as you don’t turn in the task, you can always use it..."

"Wait, wait, Yifan, please speak slowly, what errand task, where to pick it up?"

"...Let me tell you on Q, you go to Q first."

"Okay." Shen Yuying quickly hung up the phone and logged into QQ.

Qiao Yifan quickly read the strategy again, opened the dialog box, and taught Shen Yuying to do the task step by step.In fact, he could have directly sent her the strategy link, but he didn't.He just wanted to say a few more words to her, and a few more words.

"...Ah, Big Brother Tian Qi called me! Yifan, please do your work first." Before she could say a few words, her profile picture dimmed, and she didn't know whether she was invisible or offline.Facing the black and white QQ profile picture, Qiao Yifan suddenly felt empty in his heart.

On the other side of the Internet, Shen Yuying screamed desperately and patted the keyboard: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Chen Yu, you can fight by yourself, just put the cool down skill on it as soon as possible." Lord Grim gave up on her directly.

Shen Yuying burst into tears.

"First kill, first kill, first kill! Yifan, look, I'm on TV!!!"

Ten minutes later, Shen Yuying's profile picture suddenly lit up, and a screenshot of the game was sent along with many exclamation marks. "System announcement: Tian Qi, Lord Grim, Steamed Bun Invasion, Muhuo, Liangliangjun, Mu Yunshen, Sleeping in the Moon, Qian Shengli, Shen Yu completed the first kill of Blood Gunner!"

"Congratulations!" Qiao Yifan quickly replied.

"Hahahahaha, Glory is really interesting, I'm starting to like this game."

Through the screen, he could also imagine the bright smile on her face now.

"I'm going back to school tomorrow, so I won't continue tonight. Yifan is going to work hard too, and I look forward to the day you become an official team member."

"Well, definitely." Qiao Yifan replied quickly, but he was not so sure in his heart.Will that day really happen?
