Between life and death [unlimited]

"Hello, here are the dishes and wine you three ordered just now, and they are all served. I wish you a pleasant meal!"

It is now 48:204 in the afternoon, which is also No. [-] minutes after Jiang Shui and Si Yufeng entered the City of Survivors.

Just after their "guide" Zhang Jian yelled at Si Yufeng loudly and rejected his request, he turned around and took the two of them to a tavern in the city in the next second. doorway.

Jiang Lai sat on the chair, looking at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, he glanced puzzled at Zhang Jian who was beckoning them to eat and drink.

Zhang Jian picked up the chopsticks on the table, fixed his eyes on the delicious food, and said politely: "Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it gets cold." , and also specially pick the meat clips in the dishes.

It was a square table, and Zhang Jian was sitting between the two, so Si Yufeng was sitting directly opposite Jiang Shang.After hearing Zhang Jian's words, he also picked up the chopsticks slowly, still not knowing how to deal with this sudden strange scene.

But Si Yufeng still politely replied in a well-bred manner: "...Okay, thank you for your hospitality, senior..."

Even an iceberg man like Jiang Xun could feel the embarrassment in the air.This senior's personality changed too quickly. One second he refused other people's requests, and the next he started punching himself in the face...

Zhang Jian held the wine glass, took a sip contentedly, and replied casually: "Why should I thank you, shouldn't I?" After speaking, he didn't know what to think of, and added a little deliberately: "Don't just stand still Hurry up, eat it! Otherwise, I'll eat it all up."

After hearing this sentence, Jiang Li also picked up the chopsticks and picked some dishes to eat at will, but he usually only ate the dishes placed in front of him.

"This restaurant is a well-known Chinese restaurant in the City of Survivors." Zhang Jian seemed to be a little full, so he stopped his chopsticks and picked up a wine cup to have a drink there, as if he finally remembered that he was still a "guide" He began to slowly introduce his identity to them: "It just so happens that you all met me, an old glutton, and that's how you get lucky."

Zhang Jian said: "Take you along the street for a while, I believe you can see that there are all races in this city, yellow-skinned, white-skinned, and black-skinned, but this is what they call it on the earth. .In City of Survivors, we only have the distinction between players and NPCs."

"That's right, in addition to us players who need to perform daily tasks, there are many NPCs in this city. Players and NPCs are also well distinguished. Generally, NPCs open shops to provide our daily needs. We can use the gold coins obtained through missions to buy food, clothing and even houses and cars, which is no different from reality.”

He suddenly asked: "Ah, but not all shopkeepers are NPCs. If you have extra days to live, you can also earn some extra money by opening a shop. By the way, after completing the task, you should all have heard 'days to live' the name?"

"Yes." Si Yufeng replied.

"Why are you the only one who answers every time? Is your teammate dumb?" Zhang Jian glanced at Jiang Xun who was sitting on his left. It was a sharp look. Jiang Xun subconsciously wanted to put himself on the defensive. But he finally restrained his movements.

Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Si Yufeng hurriedly said: "Senior, I misunderstood. My friend is not good at speaking. He has always been quite taciturn, and his personality is like this. I hope you can forgive me if I offend him."

Zhang Jian was still very unhappy when he heard this, but he didn't hold back. He just said disdainfully: "In this cruel world, ability determines everything. When you are still a rookie, put away your outside style. You are so awesome outside, not everyone loves you when you come in."

"Of course, this world is not without fools..." As he was speaking, Zhang Jian suddenly thought about it, and glanced away uncomfortably, "But fools are a minority after all, and there will definitely be no problem with being polite and respectful to others. You For example, what this little brother did was right, hey, by the way, what's your name?"

Si Yufeng couldn't help but sweat for Jiang Xun, and when he heard Zhang Jian asking his name, he immediately replied: "Senior, my name is Si Yufeng. The secretary of justice, Yu from Yao Shunyu, and Feng from Maple Leaf."

"Sounds nice," Zhang Jian asked again: "What about him?"

"Jiang Xun." Jiang Xun seemed to have never heard Zhang Jian's previous words, and answered his name concisely, cherishing words like gold as always.

"..." Si Yufeng was also speechless for his companion who had always been straightforward and straightforward.

Fortunately, Zhang Jian didn't care too much this time, maybe he also saw clearly that this person is true, so he just snorted softly and continued to explain the rules of the game world to the two of them, "What did you just say? "

"How to distinguish between players and NPCs, and the number of days to survive." Si Yufeng reminded appropriately.

"Oh, yes. The number of days to live means literally. You can live as many days as you have. If the number of days is zero, you should go to see God; but if you have accumulated a lot of days to live, then congratulations, you have basically obtained eternal life."

"The number of survival days and gold coins can be obtained in game missions, or you can go outside the city to find special missions to do, and there will be different rewards. You said before that you have participated in special missions, right? This kind of mission is more common than usual. , is relatively easy and if it fails, it will not deduct the number of survival days or die directly, so it has always been sought after by players. But it has no fixed location, and it can only be encountered by luck. It seems that your luck is not bad .”

Si Yufeng said with a sneer: "...hehe, our luck...is not bad."

It seems that his unlucky physique is also a kind of luck in the game world.

Zhang Jian said again: "However, I would like to give you a piece of advice. It is still very dangerous outside the city, and there are many unknown existences. In the rookie stage, it is best not to go out of the city easily."

"Is it because of the unknown existence outside the city?"

The one who loves to ask questions so much can only be Si Yufeng.But he asked this question not only for himself, but mainly because he happened to see the doubt and curiosity that flashed in Jiang Lai's eyes.

Zhang Jian didn't taunt as he imagined, but turned his head to look at Si Yufeng, and answered patiently: "There will be many unimaginable monsters. Those who went out to explore out of curiosity before basically never returned."

Jiang Lai silently wrote down these contents in his heart, and on the surface he was still quietly eating the food in front of him.

Seeing that the dishes on the table had been swept away, Zhang Jian poured himself another glass of wine, planning to ask the waiter to come over to pay the bill when he finished drinking, but he heard two people whispering at the table behind him.

One of them said in a low voice: "Have you heard that a paladin from the Divine Blessed Knights quit voluntarily..."

"Brother, is it true or not?" The other person's tone was obviously disbelieving, and he asked, "How many people can't get in because of their heads squeezed, how could someone quit?"

The man retorted: "This news is true! It is absolutely true! I have a friend who has become a Silver Knight, and the paladin who quit is the captain in charge of his team. Now the news is blocked, if not for one time He drank too much and leaked, I don't know..."

"I've become a paladin, why do I suddenly have to quit the meeting? I really don't know what those heroes think," another person gradually believed the shocking news, and ruthlessly complained: "The leader of the knights just let go like this. He's gone? Didn't you say that when you join the regiment, you will sign a contract that you will serve for the Divine Bless Knights forever?"

"Hey, I don't know about that," the man said with a smile after bragging in front of his friends, feeling particularly good, "It doesn't matter how they go, anyway, it's all about the upper class, and we low class people are also concerned about it." Follow along and have fun..."

Apart from Zhang Jian, Si Yufeng and Jiang Xun could obviously hear what was said at the table behind them.

"It's called good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles." Zhang Jian drank another sip of wine indifferently, curled his lips and complained to Si Yufeng and Jiang Li: "People always pay special attention to other people's embarrassing things, especially Those who rank above them."

Jiang Lai noticed that after Zhang Jian finished drinking, he suddenly touched the scabbard attached to his waist lovingly. The setting sun reflected on his stubbled face, and his face that seemed to be indifferent to anything flashed past. The look of the past.

I don't know if other people's remarks brought back some deep and unforgettable memories of Zhang Jian, a seemingly unrestrained and carefree person.

"Boss, pay the bill!" Zhang Jian returned to normal in a blink of an eye, as if the moving memory was just a moment, and he had forgotten it in the blink of an eye.

It was obviously an NPC waiter brother, who came with a bill with a smile on his face: "Hi, this is the list of your three consumptions this time, please check it."

After receiving the list, Zhang Jian roughly glanced at it.

After consuming so many bottles of wine, um, yes, it must be on his table's list.

"The list is fine."

The waiter brother asked with a smile: "If there is no mistake, this consumption is 20 gold coins. Which one of you will pay for it?"

Noticing that Zhang Jian's eyes were switching back and forth between him and Si Yufeng, Jiang Xun felt like he was on a thief's boat out of thin air.

I knew it was impossible for this person to be so kind and treat them both to such expensive dishes for no reason...

"Well... it's just you," Zhang Jian pointed to Jiang Shang on the left, and said, "It's your honor to invite me, a senior 'guide', to a meal."

"Let me do it." Si Yufeng rushed to pay the bill in a gentlemanly manner, and after paying the bill, he smiled at Jiang Xun who was opposite him: "It's a pleasure to meet you, and it's also right to invite you two to dinner. "

"Hmph," Zhang Jian snorted dissatisfiedly, "I told you, there is no shortage of fools in this world."

Jiang Xun didn't know why, but from his tone, he could hear a hint of hatred for iron but not steel.
